Worse, he was a witness — her witness — and the intended victim in an attempted murder case that had brought him, her and the defendants to court that day last fall.
This was Rayco "War" Saunders — ex-con, pro boxer and walking billboard for a street movement that has sparked a coast-to-coast beef involving everyone from professors to rappers.
Pellegrini, thinking "witness intimidation," told Saunders to lose the hat and reverse the shirt. Saunders, crying "First Amendment," refused. He left the courthouse, shirt in place. Case dismissed. "In almost every one of my homicides, this happens: 'I don't know nothin' about nothin', " the prosecutor says. "There is that attitude, 'Don't be a snitch.' And it's condoned by the community."
Omerta, the Mafia's blood oath of silence, has been broken by turncoat after turncoat. But the call to stop snitching — on other folks in the 'hood — is getting louder.
Is it an attempt by drug dealers and gangsters to intimidate witnesses?
Is it a legitimate protest against law enforcers' over-reliance on self-serving criminal informers?
Or is it bigger than that?
Take the case of Busta Rhymes.
The hip-hop star has refused to cooperate with police investigating the slaying of his bodyguard Feb. 5 outside a Brooklyn studio where Rhymes was recording a video with performers such as Missy Elliott and Mary J. Blige. Police say that although Rhymes and as many as 50 others may have seen the shooting, no one came forward — an echo of the silence that followed the unsolved murders of rappers Tupac Shakur, the Notorious B.I.G. and Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay.
It's the code of the street: To be a credible rapper, you have to know when to shut up.
"Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya," Lil' Kim once rapped. Now she's in a federal jail in Philadelphia for failing to tell a grand jury what she knew about some friends involved in a shooting.
Rhymes' silence in the death of Israel Ramirez seemed to puzzle New York's seen-it-all police commissioner, Ray Kelly, an ex-Marine, career NYPD cop and U.S. Customs chief. "Your employee is murdered in front of you," he told reporters, so "you'd think he might want to talk to the police."
Not necessarily, says David Kennedy, director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. "There's such animosity toward the police in some urban communities that even people who aren't afraid, and who hate crime, still feel cooperating is something good people don't do," Kennedy says. "That's the Busta Rhymes story. He has nothing to fear. He just doesn't want to talk. His reputation would take a dive if he did."
The code of silence, he says, "is breaking out in a way we've never seen before."
Saunders agrees: "It's a movement, that's what it is — a stop snitching movement."
From street code to slogan
The stigma against snitching is an old one, but the Mafia never took out newspaper ads to promote omerta. So why is an unwritten rule printed on thousands of T-shirts?
Start with the war on drugs. Over the past two decades, law enforcers have made more drug arrests and turned more defendants into informers than ever before. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the agency that establishes federal court sentencing practices, about one-third of drug trafficking prosecutions involve informers' "substantial assistance." That makes them eligible for reduced sentences under otherwise inflexible federal sentencing guidelines.
Informers are a necessary evil, says Cmdr. Maurita Bryant, a 29-year veteran of the Pittsburgh Police Department. "We have to deal with who we have to deal with. ... If a dealer needs to make a deal, he'll tell on his mother. It may not be right, but it's all we have."
Some criminal informers who are allowed to remain free commit more crimes; some return to crime after a shortened prison sentence; some frame others, or tell prosecutors what they want to hear. Boston defense lawyer Harvey Silverglate says the system encourages defendants "not only to sing, but to compose."
According to a study by the Northwestern University Law School's Center on Wrongful Convictions, 51 of the 111 wrongful death penalty convictions since the 1970s were based in whole or in part on the testimony of witnesses who had an incentive to lie.
Alexandra Natapoff, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, says that, based on federal statistics, one of every four black men from 20 to 29 is behind bars, on probation or on parole, and under pressure to snitch. She estimates one in 12 of all black men in the highest-crime neighborhoods are snitching.
She says informers strain the social fabric of poor minority neighborhoods, where as many as half the young men have been arrested. "Every family gathering, every party, every backyard barbecue probably has someone who's secretly working as an informer."
This is the world Rayco Saunders inhabits. It's filled, as he puts it, with "guys doin' all this crime and not doin' no time, because they're telling on the next man."
Hence a backlash — "stop snitching." The slogan appeared in Baltimore about two years ago as the title of an underground DVD featuring threatening, gun-wielding drug dealers and a brief appearance by NBA star and Baltimore native Carmelo Anthony. Anthony, who later said he didn't know the video's theme, told ESPN The Magazine that the dealer-turned-informer excoriated in the DVD "ran our neighborhood. Now he's working with the state and the feds. You can't do that. He turned his back on the 'hood."
The black community is divided. Rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy has blasted the Stop Snitching campaign on the hip-hop group's website: "The term 'snitch' was best applied to those that ratted revolutionaries like Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Che Guevara. ... Let's not let stupid cats use hip-hop to again twist this meaning for the sake of some 'innerganghood' violent drug thug crime dogs, who've sacrificed the black community's women and children."
Movement prompts legal backlash
Whatever its intent, the Stop Snitching movement has galvanized officials already apoplectic about witness reluctance and witness intimidation.
States and localities spend a fraction of what the federal government devotes to witness protection, although this month Pennsylvania restored $1 million for that purpose. The move came as more than a half-dozen witnesses recanted earlier testimony in the trial of men accused in the Philadelphia street shooting death of a third-grade boy.
"If the word 'snitch' comes out of someone's mouth, I go insane," says Pellegrini, the Pittsburgh prosecutor. "When young men and women see rappers refuse (to cooperate), they think it's cool. How do we tell them, 'we'll support you,' when they see that?"
Especially, she says, when the slogan is blatantly used to intimidate witnesses. Last year, supporters of an accused drug dealer on trial in Pittsburgh federal court wore T-shirts around town bearing witnesses' photos and the inscription "Stop Snitching. " U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan says one, Garry Smith, had a $100,000 price on his head.
"Everybody in law enforcement is beside themselves," says Kennedy of John Jay College. "They can't investigate cases. They can't prosecute cases. The clearance rate for some serious crimes is tanking."
Stop Snitching T-shirts have been banned from a number of courthouses. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, whose city recorded the most homicides in a decade last year, threatened to send police into stores to pull them off the shelves.
Following the furor over the Stop Snitchin' DVD, Maryland raised witness intimidation from a misdemeanor to a felony, and Baltimore police made a tape of their own, Keep Talking. "People have to snitch," says Peter Moskos, a former Baltimore street cop. "That's how criminals get caught."
Saunders' life may have been saved by a snitch.
Pellegrini says an informer told police that an ex-con had hired another man to kill Saunders because the boxer was having an affair with his girlfriend. The man and his accomplices were arrested before the hit could be carried out. They were scheduled for a court hearing the day last fall that Saunders showed up in his Stop Snitching T-shirt.
Saunders and Pellegrini agree he was there to warn the men not to testify in other pending cases. But they disagree on why: Pellegrini says Saunders, whom she calls a "thug," is in cahoots with other criminals who feared the men's testimony. Saunders says he thought the defendants would try to save themselves by selling out others.
Saunders says he hates snitching so much that he not only wears the T-shirts himself but has given them as gifts to friends and relatives. "They love the T- shirts," he says. "It's way overdue for somebody to step up and speak about these things that's going on with these informants and these guys walking around here with immunity to do whatever they want to do."
At 31, Saunders has had a hard life. He says he never knew his father; his mother died of a drug overdose when he was 11. He was stabbed in the back at 15, shot in the chest at 21. He says he shot at people himself and dealt drugs. He was arrested six times from 1994 to 1997 and served four years in prison after a shootout with a police officer. He says he was framed.
Since leaving prison, he has pursued a career as a pro boxer, compiling a record of 15-7-2. In 2004 he won the North American Boxing Council cruiserweight championship. In an interview at the gym where he trains, he outlines a stop-snitching creed:
• Don't snitch on others just to save yourself. "Stop snitching is for those guys out there ... selling more drugs than Noriega, and their only out is to tell on somebody. ... If a (criminal) wants to be a Good Samaritan, OK. But send (him) to jail. Don't give him immunity to do what he wants on the street."
• Stop Snitching doesn't mean stop talking to police. "It's always misconstrued by the public, or the powers that be, that we're trying to intimidate the regular people or the law-abiding citizens. That's not what it's about. ... If that is your only outlet, to call the police, that's what you do."
• But witnesses have no obligation to help police. "Do your job — you're the police. ... I've been wronged by the system. Do you think I would help the system? ... Do cops snitch on other cops?"
• The authorities can't protect witnesses. "What's happening to the innocent witness? They get dead or ... terrorized for life."
• Sometimes you must right wrongs yourself. "I'm a man, and I can handle my own situations like a man. ... I've done dirt. I'll admit that. So I can't run to the police."
Later, he's out on the street, wearing one of the T-shirts. Standing nearby is a woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty to advertise the services of her employer, Liberty Income Tax.
"The people who are snitching, a lot of them end up dead, a lot of them end up hurt," says Lady Liberty — Ernestine Whitaker of Wilkinsburg, whose nephew was threatened after he witnessed a crime. "So the snitching doesn't do anything for the person who's snitching."
She looks at Saunders, whose muscular chest bulges beneath the T. "I'd wear one of those," she says.

The purpose of this study is to learn the effects of an investigational medication, SGN 35, on patients with mycosis fungoides. Despite a wide range of therapeutic options, the treatments are associated with short response duration, thus this condition is largely incurable. This investigational drug may offer less toxicity than standard treatments and have better tumor specific targeting. The primary objective is to explore the biologic activity of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), the most common group of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), where expression of CD30 is variable. SGN-35 has significant biologic activity in Hodgkin's disease (HD) where only a small numbers of CD30 positive tumor cells are present, as well as in lymphomas with large numbers of CD30-expressing tumor cells such as systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL).
Website: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01396070?term=NCT01396070&rank=1
Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study: Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
a. Skin biopsy will be obtained within 3 months of beginning study medication, for assessment of CD30 expression by immunohistochemisty (IHC). This data will be used to ensure equal enrollment of patients in the 3 groups of varying CD30 expression (low, intermediate, high). If patient has different lesion morphology (patch, plaque, tumor), a biopsy will be obtained from each morphologic lesion. If the patient has one type of lesion morphology, a biopsy from 2 separate anatomic sites will be obtained.
b. The highest CD30 expression value among biopsies will be used to determine which of the 3 groups the subject will be assigned to.
1. >= 3 weeks for local radiation therapy, systemic cytotoxic anticancer therapy, treatment with other anti-cancer investigational agents (includingmonoclonal antibody).
2. > 3 weeks for retinoids, interferons, vorinostat, romidepsin, denileukin diftitox.

How many of you have a broken sun/moonroof?
Ive noticed a big thread on the DIY forum wrt the broken rails on many e46 sunroofs. I have the same problem, and wanted to know who else out there has this issue via a poll.
Thread is here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...73#post3847873
yep... clip broke... had to take it in for repair
that s**t is till broken no point fixing it for me:thumbdwn:
Broke twice, previous owner quoted $200 to fix clips and rails by dealer.
Doesnt bother me, it slide back and forth freely.
Mine broke in October 04 and was covered by the dealer, needless to say they broke again in October 05 and I have yet to get it repaired. I wonder if my extended warranty will cover it?
Mine broke a couple months ago and I get it fixed under warranty. It still gets stuck on tilt about half the time. It also squeeks sometimes.
Might get around to fixing mine this weekend. The clips came out so I bought some in case they broke.
clips broken, im doing a DYI in the spring
Mine broke as well and I have CPO. Anyone know if this is covered under CPO? Has anyone been successful at it?
yes, its covered
It's a common problem on all bmw 3-series sunshade cover. I have mine broke last 4 months ago and was fixed under warranty. It's a bad design IMO, BMW should find a permanent fix and do a recall. I know the E90 is still practically new, I wonder if they encounter the same problem that we having.
:bump: Post your cost to fix and if you did it DIY or via stealership... good info so far
Dude, you forgot to add the option "it's never broken" since now you don't have anything to compare it to other than other models with the broken clips. I'm sure that all models have similar clips depending on the model year. :P
My Sunroof has never broken. But if you asking about the Sunshade panel, yes that has broken before. I fixed it myself from the DIY Forum and cost was under $20. Very easy to do, works so great now.
Your POLL is worded poorly. It doesn't give a choice for NO, it just asks for your model and I figured it would ask Yes/No then. Kinda funny.
its not the actual sunroof that breaks, but the sunshade cover, right? and thats easily fixed with the clips.
Be warned if you take your car in to South Bay BMW (in southern California). They quoted me $350+ claiming that the motor was broken. BS. The motor works fine. The only thing is that the rails broke off the track.
New DIY for fixing the sunshade can be found here - http://www.lincomatic.com/e46sunroof/e46sunroof.html
Very complete with pictures and everything :thumbup:
Moderator request
The guys are right, can a Moderator edit this poll and:
Add: ...shade? to the end of the main title?
Add: "never broken" option to the poll?
broken clips, 3 times

Tommy Berry says Liberation is emerging as the "Squamosa" type for this year's Golden Rose and the Fastnet Rock colt should further his credentials in the first at Rosehill on Saturday. Liberation returned from a throat operation to score a dominant, all-the-way win a fortnight ago and Berry has been impressed with what he has seen since. "He had shown us that he was in the top five two-year-olds in the stable before he went amiss," Berry said of Gai Waterhouse's three-year-old. "After having the throat op you don't know how they will cope until they are under that race pressure, and he showed the talent we always knew he had first-up. He has only improved at home since that win and I'm very excited to get back on him." Liberation had finished down the track at his only two starts before the operation but looked the part running quick time first-up. He is still a $35 chance in next month's Golden Rose and is set to follow a similar path to Squamosa in 2010, which only emerged in July before being runner-up to Toorak Toff in the Golden Rose of that year. "It is a bit similar in that he has found his form at this time of year and is building towards the Golden Rose. He should continue that on Saturday," Berry said.
To the front or bust
It will a complete change of tack with Tralfaz in the sixth at Rosehill. Trainer Gary Portelli has dropped him back in trip to 1100 metres and reached for blinkers after a couple of lacklustre efforts. "We thought that he would be better settling back and then ping from off the speed the way he had been racing, but he didn't," Portelli said. "I found this race, which is back in distance, but with the blinkers on I would expect him to lead and that is how he has run his best races."
Knocking on the door
A big drop in class and three-kilogram apprentice claim could deliver Wouldn't It Be Nice an overdue victory in the seventh, says the Paul Perry stable. Perry's foreman and son Shannon pointed to the four-year-old's two runs in similar grade before his sixth in the Winter Stakes as the reason for confidence. "This is the easiest race he has been in for a while," Perry said. "We had those two runs in benchmark 85s that he could have have both won with a bit of luck, then I thought he wasn't that bad in the Winter Stakes. He has been getting a long way out of his his ground and charging home, and I think he can be closer on the weekend and with Serg [Lisnyy's] claim I think he will be hard to beat."

text: More than a month after the organization tossed Ryan to the curb and brought Kiffin into the fold, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the change that was made was a "tough decision." But he also added it was made with long-term considerations in mind. "I think Rob is a very smart guy," Jones said. "His schemes are very sound. There are a lot of schemes. That becomes a question. We made a tough decision. We felt like too many schemes can cause problems regardless of how good they are and how sound they are. If there is more than the players can digest in this day and time – as you don't keep players for long, they move on and you have injuries – you just had to make a decision. And we made a tough one." Jones' comment came after he was asked if the simplicity of Kiffin's 4-3 scheme was an attractive selling point when they contemplated hiring him. Ryan attempted to streamline his playbook and later admitted that he may have tried to install too many schemes before the Cowboys could establish a comfort level with the most basic ones.

At College Recruiter, we believe that every student and recent grad deserves a great career. We believe in creating a great candidate and recruiter experience. Our interactive media solutions connect students and grads to great careers.
College Recruiter is the leading, interactive, recruitment media company used by college students and recent graduates to find great careers. Our clients are primarily colleges, universities, and employers who want to recruit dozens, hundreds, or thousands of students and recent graduates per year.
One of the things that we've learned since our founding way back in 1991 is that the recruiting needs of every organization is different and often varies depending upon the year, season, and even candidate. One organization may not be generating enough qualified applications and so their need may be to greatly increase the quantity of applications at a low cost per application.
Another organization may be overwhelmed by qualified applications but not receiving enough from diverse candidates. They may be best served by reducing the quantity and increasing the quality of applications by targeting just the diverse candidates.
You know your recruiting needs better than we can ever hope to. We know our solutions better than you'll ever want to. Our consultative, datadriven, client services team will follow the process we've established — the College Recruiter Difference — to ensure that we understand your needs, work with you to select a campaign designed to meet those needs, implement the campaign so we maximize your return on investment, and then followup with you to review the outcomes.
Some of our clients are best served by a single job posting ad for 30 days for $150. Others who want to hire dozens or even hundreds are best served by our "all you can eat" branding and job posting package for $750 per month or $7,500 per year.
Government and enterprise-level corporate clients who want to hire hundreds or even thousands are typically going to look at packages which integrate targeted email campaigns, targeted display ad campaigns, and targeted mobile banner advertising campaigns, each of which allow us to deliver to the career sites of those employers thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of candidates who we target by geography, school, major, year of graduation, diversity, military veterans, occupational field, and more. Pricing for these campaigns start at $2,250 and are based upon how many candidates we deliver your ad to or, if you prefer a pay-for-performance approach, how many click through to your career site.
Oh, and did we tell you that College Recruiter was recently named by Forbes, Business.com, and WEDDLE's as one of the best career sites in the world? We receive honor after honor not just because of our high student and recent graduate traffic or innovative solutions such as guaranteeing our results whether or not the campaign is priced on a traditional duration-based or a pay-per-click basis but also because of our passion for the recruiter experience: the time you need to spend to implement and manage your campaign will be far, far less with us than our competitors.
Ready to tell us a little about your needs so that we may make recommendations to you? First, which of the groups below most accurately describe your recruiting needs?

Kleptomania is the inability to resist impulses to steal. The things that are stolen are not needed for personal use. They are also not taken for their monetary value. This is a rare condition.
The exact cause of kleptomania is not known. Chemical imbalances in the brain may play a role.
|Frontal Lobe
|Psychological disorders are sometimes the result of chemical imbalances in the brain. The frontal lobe of the brain is thought to provide impulse control.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
Kleptomania appears to be more common in females than in males.
Kleptomania often occurs with other psychological disorders. These include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse, such as alcohol use disorder and drug abuse
- Eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia
- Other impulse control disorders
Other factors that may increase your risk include:
- Having a first degree relative with a history of kleptomania, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, or alcohol or drug abuse
- Having a brain injury
Symptoms of kleptomania include all of the following:
- A repeated inability to resist impulses to steal things that are not of personal value
- A feeling of relief, joy, and/or pleasure when stealing things
- Feeling of guilt or remorse after the event
- Thefts that are not committed out of anger, or for revenge or personal gain
- Lack of a better explanation for the theft, such as another psychological disorder
Kleptomania is different from shoplifting or ordinary theft, which is:
- Deliberate
- Motivated by the stolen item's usefulness or monetary value
- The result of a dare, an act of rebellion, or a rite of passage
A psychiatrist or psychologist will diagnose kleptomania when:
- All of the symptoms of kleptomania are present
- There is no other, better explanation for repeated thefts
- Kleptomania is not an excuse for shoplifting or ordinary theft
Treatment may involve treating an underlying disease. Other treatments include:
Counseling or Therapy
Counseling or therapy may be in a group or one-to-one setting. It is usually aimed at dealing with underlying psychological problems that may be contributing to kleptomania. It may also include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Behavior modification therapy
- Family therapy
Stress reduction techniques, including medication, yoga, or tai chi, may also be taught in therapy.
Drugs used for treatment include antidepressants, mood stabilizers, medications to treat drug addiction, and medications to treat seizure disorders.
There are no current guidelines to prevent kleptomania because the cause is not known.

Dunbar Township residents question unemployment paid to former supervisor
Dunbar Township residents on Thursday night questioned supervisors about a $6,323 payment made in May to the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors Unemployment Compensation Group Trust Fund.
The supervisors said the quarterly payment was more than the township normally pays because an employee who lost his job in 2012 filed an unemployment compensation claim.
Supervisor Ron Keller said former township Supervisor Larry Mayros filed a claim after he lost his re-election bid and his roadmaster position.
"He was out of work," Keller said. "I checked with the Pennsylvania unemployment office, and they told me that he was eligible to collect unemployment."
During a six-month period from January to July 2012, Mayros collected $13,106.23 in unemployment compensation, according to township records.
After the meeting, Chairman John Tabaj said the township needs to check with the state Department of Labor & Industry to make sure that elected officials are eligible to collect jobless benefits after they lose an election.
Attorney Tim Witt, the township's solicitor, said the township was required to pay a higher unemployment compensation amount in May to cover the extra expense.
"I believe that the higher payments will continue for a while until an audit has been conducted, and then they will return to the usual amount," Witt said.
In other business, supervisors:
• Announced the township will receive $193,000 in Act 13 impact fees for Marcellus shale gas drilling again this year — the same amount it received in 2013. Supervisors plan to discuss how they will use the money.
• Announced that A.C. Moyer Co. recently completed paving work on Ridge Boulevard. Victor Paving is expected to pave Falls Avenue and Upper Sandy Road on Tuesday and Wednesday.
• Notified residents that burning will be permitted in the township from daylight to dusk on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
• Appointed Benjamin Husband of Dickerson Run to the Yough Sanitary Authority, replacing Pete Orlando who recently resigned from the board.

Boris Johnson, his political opponents and housing experts across the capital are agreed - at least up to a point - that the coalition government's plans to cap and cut housing benefit will have catastrophic effects on tens of thousands of Londoners and on London itself. Increased rent arrears, evictions, homelessness, overcrowding and an effectively forced removal of poorer people from inner London to the suburbs and beyond have been widely predicted and were listed by the Mayor in his submission of 6 September to the Work and Pensions Committee Inquiry into the impact of the proposed changes.
This week I will be reporting on yet more evidence of the social devastation the coalition will wreak on the capital unless it thinks again. On Tuesday evening in Barking, Boris will be holding a public meeting about his own housing policies. Have they been as successful as he claims? Also on my to-do list: more on the politics of Tower Hamlets and, of course, the result of the Ken-Oona contest to become Labour's challenger in 2012. Life is never dull.

Inmate describes prison life at Opel trial
Published 10:00 pm, Monday, April 14, 2003
EVERETT -- Shawn Reite shares her cramped room -- 9 feet long and 6 feet wide -- with two other women. They have two bunk beds, two lockers and a toilet surrounded by beige, concrete walls. Sunlight squeezes into the room through one window, 3 inches wide.
Testifying yesterday in the penalty phase of Barbara Opel's murder trial, Reite described life inside the Washington Women's Correctional Center in Gig Harbor as lonely and monotonous, a bleak world of steel and concrete.
As jurors consider whether Opel should be the state's first female resident of death row, the implication of Reite's testimony was clear: A life in prison is barely a life at all.
Latest videos
Reite and Opel are two of the nine women in Washington convicted of aggravated first-degree murder. Reite is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for killing her mother and her mother's boyfriend in 1988. If jurors sentence Opel to life for recruiting her daughter and four other teenagers to murder her boss two years ago, she would be sent to the same prison as Reite.
Opel's daughter, Heather, and Marriam Oliver were convicted of first-degree murder in the same case. When they turn 18, they would be sent to the same prison as Opel.
Reite said she lives for her daughter, although she's not sure where she is. In prison, she has one friend who is likely to be released in a couple of years. Corrections officers allow Reite to touch people at least twice a year, when her aunt visits. Otherwise, any physical contact is forbidden in prison.
Her hope is that, in 20 years, a governor might let her go free by granting clemency.
"That doesn't happen though, does it?" asked Brian Phillips, Opel's defense attorney.
"No," Reite said. "But it's good to fool yourself."
In other testimony, Barbara Opel's boyfriend when she was a teenager said their relationship was "absolutely unusual." Warren Hasenyager, who met her at church, told the jury that her mother, Evelyn Becker, often decided what the two would do on their dates. He called her controlling and illustrated this with an anecdote.
Once, Barbara was driving too fast, Hasenyager said, and her mother tried to slow the car by stomping on the brake. Instead, either Barbara or her mother's foot pounded the accelerator. Their Buick hit a car, which hit a camper and sent it flying into a back yard. The Buick finally stopped after the front end plowed into a living room.

The Vagina Monologues is a performance that began as a one-woman show, and has grown into a global movement with productions staged in over 800 venues worldwide. The V-Day Movement generates attention for the fight to end violence against women and girls, including rape, incest, battery, female genital mutilation, and sexual slavery. V-Day benefits raise awareness and financial support for organizations dedicated to ending violence both locally and globally.
The Monologues showcase wisdom and humor gleaned from interviews with women about their vaginas. The stories range from outrageously funny to tragic; they celebrate women's lives, exposing violence in our culture and reinforcing our capacity to overcome that violence. The creative force behind The Vagina Monologues is the power of the collective female voice, transforming pain into art, and using that art to educate and empower.
Each year V-Day organizers donate 90% of all proceeds to local non-profit organizations. Beneficiaries of SOU's production include the Dunn House Shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence, Sexual Assault Victim's Services (SAVS), and SOU's campus sexual assault prevention program. 10% of the proceeds from all V-Day productions are donated to International Women's Rights campaigns.
V-Day, a non-profit corporation, distributes funds to grassroots, national, and international programs and organizations that work to stop violence against women and girls. In the first year of incorporation (2001), V-Day was named one of Worth's Magazine's "100 best charities". In eight years the V-Day movement has raised over $30 million dollars. The V in V-Day stands for Vagina, Valentine, and Victory.

Aspen City Council will consider changes to local development rules on Monday that would again allow three-story buildings downtown.
Council instituted a 28-foot height limit in April, after a series of controversial approvals for three-story buildings, such as the development that will be built next to Little Annie's Eating House. In passing the law, council members said they would be willing to revisit the possibility of taller buildings under some circumstances.
The city initiated a process this summer to get community input, and council members outlined their desires for the zoning changes in an August meeting. At Monday's council meeting, city planning staff will present an ordinance that was crafted based on that feedback.
The proposed ordinance would allow for 38- or 40-foot-high buildings in the commercial core zone district, and 36- or 38-foot-high buildings in the outlying C-1 zone.
Under the proposal, council would still have discretion and would not have to approve all applications that come in at those heights. Prior to the new 28-foot limit, heights up to 38 feet were allowed by right to developers.
"Achieving the maximum height is subject to compliance with applicable design standards, view plane requirements, public amenity requirements and other dimensional standards," according to the proposed ordinance. "Accordingly, maximum height is not an entitlement and is not achievable in all situations."
The proposal also would limit third-story floor plans to 50 percent of the building's footprint.
Part of council's concern in enacting the lower height limits was that luxury free market condos were adversely affecting traditional downtown development patterns. With downtown residential real estate that regularly sells for north of $2,000 per square foot, condos are the most profitable part of new developments, meaning the commercial spaces underneath become secondary.
The proposed changes put new and different limits on free market condos, and provide council with a variety of options, from banning them unless accompanied by an equal amount of affordable housing, to only allowing them on historic properties, or on any building, among other policies.
"From staff's perspective, mixed-use buildings should be allowed and encouraged downtown," according to a memo on the zoning changes from city long-range planner Jessica Garrow. "Residential use creates vitality and more 'lights on.' ... Staff recognizes that there are some problems created with free market residential uses, especially when that use starts to push out traditional commercial uses in the downtown core. ... Residential uses are part of an interesting downtown, but should not become the primary or predominant use."
The changes also provide incentives for lodging and bed and breakfast developments downtown.
Council will discuss the proposed new rules on Monday, which will be followed by a second public hearing and potential approval on Nov. 26.

Current events and those of the very recent past have focused world attention on Eastern Europe. Americans need to know about the political and social reorganization going on in Russia. As the largest country in the world, it is immensely rich with human and natural resources. It is estimated that about 250,000 Russians live in the eastern part of United States, 70,000 in Massachusetts alone. The federal government lists Russian among languages of strategic importance for Americans to know when applying for many federal and state government positions. Therefore, it is more important than ever to know the Russian language.
Knowledge of Russian can facilitate graduate study and make one very competitive in international business, foreign service, international law enforcement, journalism, translating and teaching, to name but a few of the many career possibilities. Russian belongs to the Slavic languages group and will facilitate understanding and learning other languages belonging to this group and spoken in many countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
In addition to our sequence of language courses ranging from a true beginners to the advanced level, students can add other courses to fulfill the requirements for a minor in Russian Area Studies, and/or spend a summer or semester studying in St. Petersburg, Russia.
We hope that you will consider satisfying the modern language requirement by choosing Russian language courses at Saint Anselm College.

Mama to DS (6/07) , DD (6/09) , and DD (07/12) ..
She DID breastfeed her children, but she suffered from low supply and needed to supplement. I don't know at what age she started supplmenting each baby, or when they fully weaned, but all of her infant feeding advice is colored by her own experiences. When she was BFing a 4mo, breastmilk alone wasn't enough, and her kids didn't have any allergies, so adding in egg yolks was a reasonable idea.
She didn't make any specific mention of "this advice for FF infants and this advice for BF infants" because, in her experience ALL babies needed extra food at 4mo.
We did (boiled) egg yolk as a first solid food at about 6 1/2 months, and I would NEVER do it again. We have no history of any food allergies in our family, and yet the egg yolk made ds horribly sick. He threw up to the point that he was grey and listless. I mean he was heaving. It was horrible. I checked in the allergy forum here and apparently allergy to egg yolk (not just whites) is fairly common. After our experience, and after further research, I would never recommend introducing egg yolk as a first food. Nor would I advocate routinely introducing any solid food before 6 months. It just doesn't seem to be necessary in a breast-fed baby who is nursing well. Sally Fallon seems to be writing from her own (low breast milk supply) experience here, but it doesn't make sense for her to recommend this approach as a general strategy for everyone. I think this is one area where her recommendations really fall down and could actually be harmful. There are plenty of TF foods that are also on the least allergenic list, such as avocado, bananas, chicken, etc. My advice is to pick something from the least allergenic list (Dr. Sears has a list in The Baby Book, or there are lots of lists available online) that is also TF, and start with that when you feel your child is ready (generally after 6 mos.)
I've been thinking about this and wondering whether there are traditional cultures that give egg yolk to infants. Is egg yolk really a traditional baby food? It seems strange to think that indigenous people would boil an egg, scrupulously peel off the white, and feed the yolk to an infant. Does anybody know whether there are traditional cultures that actually do this?
|Choline is another critical nutrient for brain development. The traditional practice of feeding egg yolks early is confirmed by current research. A study published in the June 2002 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition compared the nutritional effects of feeding weaning infants 6-12 months of age regular egg yolks, enriched egg yolks, and an otherwise normal diet. The researchers found that both breastfed and formula-fed infants who consumed the egg yolks had improved iron levels when compared with the infants who did not. In addition, those infants who got the egg yolks enriched with extra fatty acids had 30 percent to 40 percent greater DHA levels than those fed regular egg yolks.
Mama to Belly(5), homesteading in the desert with our chickens and sheep. Fish nerd, really into my reef tank. Baby due Sep 3rd!
Tiffany partner to Charlie and Mama to DS Ciaran (1/08) and DS Finnian (4/11)
Adding a third in July!
Yup, they say 4-6 months, which I started my daughter on at 5 months. She loves it! I boil an egg for 4 mins., discard the white, and mash the yolk with salt and butter. I've been doing this everyday for a month now with no problems.

Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Corey Seager just had himself one impressive month.
Seager, just 20 and already ranked as the Dodgers' best prospect by most publications, hit five home runs over the month of May while slashing a ridiculous .406/.460/.693. Playing in high-A for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, Seager has raised his season slash to .354/.405/.605 with eight homers and 37 RBI in 47 games so far.
The shortstop was also ranked as the 11th-best prospect in the Majors by Keith Law of ESPN, ahead of fellow Dodgers prospects Julio Urias and Joc Pederson. This is an increase over his preseason ranking of 18, likely due to the fact that Seager has been excellent so far at high-A.
The future for Seager is still unclear. He is playing short for the Quakes, but more scouts see Seager and his 6-4 frame moving over to third base at some point in his career. The rationale is that he will not be able to maintain lateral quickness as he matures and adds weight, but there are enough examples of fine shortstops at 6-3 or above to believe that Seager may be able to stay there if that is what the Dodgers prefer.
There are other obstacles, however. Erisbel Arruebarrena, the recently signed Cuban émigré, is highly regarded for his defensive abilities, and rightfully so. Arruebarrena has already spent time with the big league club and has been impressive in the little action that he has seen. His swing is long, but his defense more than makes up for any offensive shortcomings.
There is also the presence of Hanley Ramirez. Though he is a free agent at the end of the season, Ramirez has expressed a desire to return and the Dodgers have expressed a desire to keep him. Ramirez is expected to move to third if he does stay, making things interesting for projecting where Seager fits into the Dodgers' plans.
Time, of course, has a way of working these things out. It may end up that Arruebarrena and Seager end up sharing the left side of the Dodger infield for many years, or it may be that it is Ramirez and Seager. Either way, it is hard not to envision Seager playing a major role with the big league club in the not too distant future.Tags: Baseball, Corey Seager, Erisbel Arruebarrena, Hanley Ramirez, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Dodgers, MLB

Victorian Premier
Mr Baillieu on Tuesday night moved to disband the Trustees of the Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Fund committee after it came to light it was using taxpayer funds to wage a court case against the Australian Tax Office.
The committee features several government frontbenchers including Deputy Premier
The committee oversaw the superannuation contributions of MPs collected before changes to the scheme dismantled generous pension schemes in 2004.
Court documents obtained by The Australian Financial Review show that the ATO had charged the fund and its members $9.74 million to cover superannuation surcharge assessments over a period from 1999 to 2005
The documents state that the greatest impact of the surcharge was on "members who joined the scheme around the time the surcharge was introduced, particularly younger members who went on to become ministers".
The documents also reveal that the committee lodged its objection against the ATO under the previous Labor government in July 2010.
The ATO rejected that objection in July last year, prompting a federal court challenge.
The appeal documents state the committee believes the surcharge acts do not apply to the fund "on the ground that those laws of the commonwealth constitute an unlawful interference with the state".
If the decision were allowed to stand it would cause a "substantial reduction in the quantum of superannuation benefits" and that would impinge on the rights of states to determine the remuneration of their MPs.
"By their application to the state superannuation scheme for parliamentarians, they affect in a significant manner the terms and conditions of superannuation benefits of those parliamentarians and the capacity of the state of Victoria to legislate and otherwise govern in relation to parliamentary remuneration," the appeal says.
The ruling may even contravene the constitution as it could be an "unlawful interference" with the state.
To support its case the committee referred to a landmark High Court appeal by South Australian MP Ralph Clarke in 2009.
Government members of the committee went to ground on Wednesday referring inquiries to the Premier's office.
But it is understood they were not told by the Premier that their body would be axed.
Committee member Gavin Jennings, the only representative from the state's opposition, said that by midday on Wednesday he had not heard from Mr Baillieu or Mr Rich-Phillips about the decision to close the group.
Instead he was relying on media reports.
"I'm very relaxed and quite supportive of moves to make the governance structure of the fund operating in a way that is transparent and independent," Mr Jennings said.
"But the chair nor the government have had sufficient good grace to communicate with members of the trust today, to this point."
The committee was due to appear before the Federal Court on Monday.
Some argue Mr Baillieu moved because the case could have caused unrest within the parliament between the older members and the newer MPs given only those elected prior to 2006 would be entitled to benefit from the change.
A spokeswoman for Mr Baillieu said legislation would be introduced into the parliament to close the Trustees of the Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Fund committee.
She said the committee had historically administered a now closed MPs superannuation fund but a decision had been made to shut down the committee because of declining membership.
"In the context of contemporary financial management, it is appropriate that the administration of MPs' superannuation is independent of MPs and the Parliament," the spokeswoman said.
"The responsibility for that fund will be transferred to the Emergency Services Superannuation Board, which is currently responsible for all other similar public sector superannuation.
"The Coalition government is abolishing the historical trustee structure of the parliament's closed superannuation fund and bringing that structure into line with contemporary standards."

Alleged white supremacists get prison for Atascosa County murder
Updated 9:53 pm, Friday, January 31, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio man and a Jourdanton woman, allegedly members of a white supremacist prison gang, have been sentenced to prison for their involvement in the 2008 murder of a prospective member.
The body of Mark Davis Byrd Sr. was found May 4, 2008, in Atascosa County.
Shane Gail "Dirty" McNeil, 34, and Destiny Nicole Feathers, 24, pleaded guilty last August to accessory after the fact in connection with the case.
U.S. District Judge Sim Lake of the Southern District of Texas on Thursday sentenced McNeil to 10 years in prison and Feathers to 6.5 years in prison. Both also were sentenced to three years of supervised release.
McNeil was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, a prison gang that Feathers also was associated with, according to court testimony.
To be considered for membership in the gang, a person must be sponsored by another gang member and serves a term as a "prospect," court documents state.
News Channel
While Byrd was a prospect, the gang ordered him killed because he kept drugs he was supposed to deliver on their behalf, according to court documents.
Houston-area gang members kidnapped Byrd and tortured, beat, stabbed and shot him, according to court documents.
According to their plea deals, McNeil and Feathers helped hide a shotgun used to kill Byrd and got rid of his bloody clothing.
Three other gang members pleaded guilty in 2011 to the racketeering murder.

Amanda Stevens
The Prophet
Mira / April 24, 2012 / $7.99 print, $6.79 digital
I am the Graveyard Queen, a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. My father passed down four rules to keep me safe and I've broken every last one. A door has opened and evil wants me back.
In order to protect myself, I've vowed to return to those rules. But the ghost of a murdered cop needs my help to find his killer. The clues lead me to the dark side of Charleston—where witchcraft, root doctors and black magic still flourish—and back to John Devlin, a haunted police detective I should only love from afar.
Now I'm faced with a terrible choice: follow the rules or follow my heart.
The Prophet by Amanda Stevens is the third book in her Graveyard Queen series. The series begins with The Restorer, followed by The Kingdom. Amelia Gray has been able to see ghosts her entire life, but her father taught her at an early age never to acknowledge their presence. Ghosts were something to be feared and dreaded; they would cling to her if they knew she could see them, and would suck her dry of her life energy like leeches.
As The Prophet opens, Amelia has returned to her hometown of Charleston, and is drawn to Detective Devlin once again. We discover, along with Amelia, that Devlin is still a truly haunted man, clung to by the ghosts of his wife Miriama and their 4 year old child Shani. By inviting this haunted man into her life, she has made herself susceptible to his ghosts, and those ghosts have drawn other ghosts now.

It's simple, and free.
Ottoson describes the film noir in the same terms and explains one of the reasons:
The tone and mood of the film noir was overwhelmingly black, hence its name. The main protagonists of these films were usually people suffering from an existential angst. Life was conceived to be a hopeless proposition, with people having no control over their fates. Despair, alienation, disillusionment, moral ambiguity, pessimism, corruption, and psychoses carried the day. The film noir portrayed a world where people were not essentially good, but deceitful and rotten. It is a world where the opposite sex, especially women, was to be distrusted, often with good reason (Ottoson 1).
The contribution of Alfred Hitchcock to the suspense thriller genre has been in essence to define it so that all subsequent films in the genre will aspire to the standards he set and will be compared to the films he made. This has indeed been the effect, so that films that have nothing to do with Hitchcock's style, themes, or interests are said to be Hitchcockian thrillers by those seeking a superlative. Hitchcock's contribution has been much broader than merely to the thriller genre, however, for he influenced a generation or more of filmmakers who learned from his films how to manipulate material, manipulate the audience, and satisfy that audience at the same time. He was meticulous in developing his films, storyboarding every shot and showing an understanding of both camera movement (in the Murnau tradition) and montage (in the Pudovkin-Eisenstein tradition) that makes his films useful as "textbooks" of technique. He started in the silent era and never forgot the power of the image, but he also adapted to the use of sound in a way that showed he regarded it as an essential element in film thereafter (witness his experimentations with sound as in the scream that turns into a train whistle in Murder or the musical experiments he made with the use of "The Merry Wid...

Birmingham-Southern president addresses human rights forum in France
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern College President Dr. David Pollick was an invited speaker at the Council of Europe's Higher Education and Democratic Culture: Citizenship, Human Rights, and Civic Responsibility forum held June 22-23 in Strasbourg, France.
Pollick was a presenter during the "Promoting Human Rights and Democratic Citizenship" session, led by Thomas Hammarberg of Sweden, commissioner for human rights of the Council of Europe and former secretary general of Amnesty International, a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights.
Since taking office as Birmingham-Southern's 12th president in July 2004, Pollick has worked with college faculty, staff, students, and alumni on the establishment of the Center for Global Human Dignity, based on the fundamental principle that advancing human dignity is central to the mission of liberal education.
The forum, which was attended by international higher education experts from around the world, covered issues such as fostering the culture of democracy, promoting human rights and democratic citizenship, and building sustainable democratic citizenship.
The Council of Europe is that continent's oldest political organization, founded in 1949. It groups together 46 countries, including 21 countries from Central and Eastern Europe, to achieve a greater unity between its members and to act as a political anchor and human rights watchdog for Europe's post-communist democracies, among other aims.

John Mayer Tells Playboy His Junk Is Racist, Uses The N-Word
UPDATE: After pretty much infuriating everyone on the planet, John Mayer has apologized for his use of a racial slur in Playboy, tweeting, "I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged."
Mayer has yet to apologize for insinuating that Jennifer Aniston is over the hill in the same interview.
Oh, look, everybody; John Mayer found room in his mouth for his other foot during his Playboy interview/free-flowing monologue of poorly chosen statements!
Not content to humiliate his ex-girlfriends during his chat with Hugh Hefner's mag, the Battle Studies singer spiced up the conversation with some good old-fashioned racism. Detailing his no-doubt-stunning rapport with the black community, Mayer declared,
"Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n*gger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass?"
Uh, maybe because not everybody revels in the notion of being as offensive as possible, all the time, John?
But, as it turns out, Mayer was, once again, letting his Little John do the talking, as he went on to clarify that he's not really a racist—just his unit is. Asked if his many female conquests have included any black women, Mayer admitted,
"I don't think I open myself to it. My d*ck is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin' David Duke c*ck."
And, apparently, a Michael Richards mouth. We can only imagine that he slips a little white hood over his wang instead of a condom when he's bedding the ladies.

RELATED: MORE EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - Political Renegades: Gov. Ventura and Willie Nelson challenge two-party stranglehold
IN MORE EXCLUSIVE VIDEO, Willie Nelson invites Alex and Jesse onto his world famous tour bus, where they discuss a number of topics including the family farm, the banker's consolidation, and the 2008 election.
But much of the conversation turns to the lingering questions about 9/11-- still unanswered, in part, due to a government that refuses to answer and a public that is unwilling to question.
Appropriately wearing a trucker's hat that reads, 'Follow no one,' Nelson says that for himself, it was never a question after seeing the buildings collapse on 9/11.
"It's not a clear cut situation; never was to me," the music icon and activist commented about 9/11. But, "Is there a reason to investigate?" he said. "Hell yeah."
"Those buildings were blown up internally," he said, before humbly adding, "I'm not a smart guy, but I can see that."
But Nelson's point is valid in spite of his obvious intelligence-- it doesn't take anything greater than common sense to see that the story doesn't add up. On the other hand, that same analysis holds up (necessarily) to scientific scrutiny-- so long as the scientists aren't investigating on behalf of government agencies.
The work of qualified professionals like Richard Gage, Steven Jones, Kevin Ryan, and many others who have investigated 9/11 from a technical point of view have been ignored by the media, and instead, are often run out of their various positions via intimidation.
In spite of publicly available research and widespread questions, much of the public simply can't face the facts and refuses to accept the truth. Gov. Ventura doubted that they ever will.
Nelson says his theory is that "they did it so we could go to war."
After all, it's not just 9/11 that has fooled the public. An estimated 30% of Americans still believe Saddam Hussein was connected to the 9/11 attacks; a similar 30% believe WMDs were found in Iraq and millions are still waiting for the President to 'hunt down bin Laden' in Afghanistan.
Willie said he's 'not worried' about the 'certain percentage' of people 'in their own worlds' who lack the capacity to believe their government could do such things. After all, Willie agreed, from an authority as high as the President, there would be those in the public who would even 'believe the moon was made of cheese.'
So why do they mislead and deceive the public? For Willie, it isn't so complicated. "Why do they do everything? So we could go to war."
"We're the biggest arms dealer in the world; we sell bullets to both sides. We start a war over there & a war over there, and we stir it up. You know, whoever we want to win, we give the best bullets. And that's what we've been doing for a long time."
Additionally, the state of crisis combined with the state of war allows the government to violate civil liberties and threaten the freedoms of anyone bold enough to dissent.
Yet, the public seems unwilling to recognize this, and the official truth may never emerge. "The truth about JFK still hasn't come out," Willie reminded. "I don't know what happened, but we know a lot of investigations were stifled. But, like 9/11... we'll never know for sure."
Gov. Ventura agreed, "The simple way they get to that is by removal of all evidence."
Ventura cited the fact that LBJ had Kennedy's limo sent for clean-up and restoration before the homicide evidence could be taken or examined. "That limo shouldn't have been touched until investigators went through it with a fine-toothed comb."
"That's what causes, for me, a light to go on," Gov. Ventura said. "Because when they start doing a crime investigation the exact opposite of the way it's supposed to be done, that tells you that there's ulterior forces involved here."
Similarly, Ventura says, "with 9/11, the priority is with removal of everything-- not investigating it." Evidence should have been set aside for thorough investigation, he said.
Willie said investigating "was what we all assumed they were doing." Instead, Gov. Ventura points out, steel from the towers was destroyed, sold to China and even used to build a memorial ship.
Now, Ventura asserts, with all the relevant evidence destroyed, "We are all valid investigators." Thus, questions should always be allowed and encouraged. For many investigators, the cover-up itself often points to the real crime.
So why do the authorities refuse to answer questions about 9/11? Perhaps the cover-up benefits them more than the truth.
"Anytime you cover-up evidence or take evidence away, you have an agenda there. You're trying to stop people from knowing what happened. And I really do believe that's what happened."
Ventura agreed that this would prevent us from ever knowing officially what really happened. If the official story were actually true, Ventura suggested, the government would easily be able to 'debunk' conspiracy theories-- because the truth would brush aside everything that had no merit.
Instead, the government maintains its silence, and conspiracy theories continue to flourish.


text: Receiver had a quiet offseason, which is exactly what the Cowboys hoped for Updated: July 19, 2013, 12:45 AM ET By Jean-Jacques Taylor | ESPNDallas.com OXNARD, Calif. -- This was the offseason Dez Bryant needed after his phenomenal end to last season. No embarrassing YouTube videos. No incidents with the police. No lawsuits. No baby mama drama. Nothing. At all. Perfect. So give Bryant plenty of credit for recognizing he needed to change some aspects of his life, and give the Dallas Cowboys credit for putting him on such a strict behavioral program that Bryant was either going to change or find another employer. All of this is good because it's allowing Bryant to maximize his potential as he heads into his fourth training camp -- his first as the Cowboys' best player. Not the best offensive player. Or the best defensive player. He is the Cowboys' best player. Don't even try to argue. Read the rest: http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story...receiver-dez-bryant-enjoyed-perfect-offseason

MISSION VIEJO - Redlands East Valley knew that, along with playing hard, it needed to play flawlessly Friday to have any opportunity to Mission Viejo, the No. 1-ranked team in the Pac-5 Division.
REV couldn't pull off the latter task, turning the ball over three times and committing a rash of illegal procedure penalties. It allowed the Diablos to cruise to a 42-14 victory at Mission Viejo High.
It was likely that Mission Viejo (6-0) would have won without REV assistance, as its offense riddled the Wildcats for 475 yards.
Junior quarterback Alex Bridgford threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns, two to Bryan Keller, on 11-of-18 passing. Senior tailback Dallas Kessman ran for another 165 yards and two scores.
"Where do you want me to begin?" said REV coach Kurt Bruich when asked to assess the Mission Viejo offense. "They attack you at every point and if there's a weakness, they'll find it. They run excellent routes and their quarterback is extremely accurate. He hits them every time."
But the Wildcats had their chances Friday, tying the score 7-7 early in the first quarter on an 8-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Austin Decoud and receiving the ball to start the second half down only 21-7.
But Jamal Ellis fumbled the opening kickoff of the half, eventually leading to Kessman's second touchdown run, a 37-yarder that put the Diablos up by three touchdowns.
REV (3-2) drove to the Mission Viejo 14-yard line on its next drive, only to have Decoud throw his second interception, a diving grab by Doug Ruggles off a deflection. The Diablos tacked on two more touchdowns after that.
"The receiver was wide open but the ball was a little high and got tipped," Bruich said. "We had the ball in the red zone four or five times tonight and only came up with two scores. I thought we moved the ball pretty well. We just got bogged down a bit."
Mission Viejo came out firing, taking a 7-0 lead on the third play of the game on a 76-yard play-action pass from Bridgford to Keller. It was one of two long touchdowns for Keller, who also caught a 64-yarder in the third quarter. Keller had five receptions for 181 yards.
The Wildcats' first series foreshadowed the rest of the night, as REV was called for three of its eight illegal-procedure penalties before it ran its first play.
But after punting, the Wildcats held the Diablos and drove 44 yards on its next possession to tie the score on Decoud's run.
"I was very impressed with them," Mission Viejo coach Bob Johnson said. "I knew they were well-coached and worked hard before playing them and they showed that tonight. They didn't back down at all."
REV didn't back down, but it was unable to stop the Diablos from scoring five touchdowns in a row. Kessman put Mission Viejo up 14-7 with a 3-yard run on the Diablos' next drive and Jahleel Pinner scored on a 4-yard run in the second quarter.
The Wildcats ended the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run by sophomore Taylor Thompson with 33 seconds left, which it hopes will give it some positive karma going into next Friday's Citrus Belt League opener with crosstown rival Redlands.
"Playing this game made us better," Bruich said. "The score is the score, but we fought hard and played well at times against a very good team. I feel there's a lot to build on from this."

Congress and the President: Abolish the Second Amendment. Make gun ownership a privilege, not a right
Children and adults are being murdered, by psychopaths for their own personal reasons, having nothing to do with the victims. Criminals easily obtain hand guns used in robberies and other crimes where innocent victims are murdered or injured. The free availability of hand guns and assault weapons, as permitted by the Second Amendment, is a significant reason for these mass murders. This is the latest evidence: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/14/15907407-elementary-school-massacre-26-dead-including-18-kids-in-connecticut?lite
This frontier thinking about self-protection, is no longer valid in the 21st Century. Abolish the Second Amendment and the country will witness a great decrease of deaths and mass killings of innocent citizens. Make any gun ownership a privilege, not a right.
