EXPERIENCED wide midfielder Martin Devaney has joined Worcester City on a deal until the end of the season.
The former Cheltenham Town star, 33, will add further experience to the City ranks following last week's capture of centre-half Wayne Thomas.
Devaney can also list Barnsley, Tranmere Rovers and Kidderminster Harriers among his former clubs in a playing career of more than 400 senior games.
He started the season at struggling Hyde where he made 11 Skrill Premier appearances.
Worcester manager Carl Heeley said: "We were made aware of Martin's availability by recent signing Wayne and, knowing of his capabilities, we had little hesitation in adding him to our squad.
"He can play in a few positions and the quality he possesses will be of huge benefit to us during the run-in to the end of the season."
Devaney goes straight into the squad for City's trip to Barrow in Skrill North tomorrow (3pm).

Love this dress on you! I saw it in stores and tried it on, but I was so bummed it didn't fit. I've had a problem finding a good shift dress for my petite frame. I love all 3 looks but the denim jacket one is my fave. I'm partial to a dress and denim jacket combo though. XO!

Hi Sarah,
I read those reviews as well and didn't have that problem at all! I bought the Small and I don't consider myself to have tiny arms...in fact, I have pretty broad shoulders...and it wasn't an issue for me. :)
Hope that helps,

I love all 3 looks although my favorite is the casual. I was thrilled to see that this dress isn't sleeveless (I don't feel comfortable in sleeveless anything) and tried to find one for myself. But, alas, no luck finding my size. Figures that I wouldn't be able to find the one dress I've liked in a really, REALLY long time. Just my luck :-(

It is more common than ever to see a rack tom mounted in a standard snare basket. The idea has been around for years and with the growing popularity of vintage drums, it's even more prevalent today. That's the reason we now offer the DW 9000 Series tom/snare stand. The beefy 9399 specializes in securely cradling rack toms by offering increased isolation and resonance via specially-designed Neoprene® pads. These soft pads act as a cushion between the basket's crutch tips and the drum's counter hoop, while gripping tightly for stable, solid play. The stand also offers a patented removable, offset basket for easy positioning and quick snare changes. The larger footprint is courtesy of a Mega-Tripod™ base that gives the 9399 the largest footprint of any DW snare stand. The result is a heavy-duty, road-worthy stand that gently supports rack toms and snare drums like never before.

Home > Entertainment > Books > Article
Police habits, the weight of a pistol, the shape of a blood clot. There are things crime writers can imagine, but what makes a book sizzle is the detail that comes from getting your hands dirty.
Crime scene protection has improved since the old days when a friend was a keen young crime scene examiner. In the apartment of a murdered stripper, he found 43 sets of fresh fingerprints. These turned out to belong to police officers from different divisions who'd dropped in to have a look.
Another time, when he turned up to the old CIB building, the Hat Factory, with his crime scene bag to secure the area where a colleague had been shot dead in one of the toilets, he was met by a phalanx of the old dinosaurs. "Run along, sonny," he was told. "We don't need you. We'll handle this."
I'm told that neither would happen these days, as investigators have realised the crime scene is the first and the most valuable repository of information - and its protection is paramount. The great pioneer criminologist Edmond Locard proclaimed: "Wherever he steps, whatever he touches, whatever he leaves, even unconsciously, will serve as silent witness against him."
There's a growing appetite for crime fiction. Television series such as Silent Witness and CSI, the popularity of writers such as Patricia Cornwell, Ruth Rendell and the successful novels of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs serve both to entertain and educate viewers and readers in the art of crime. Readers are becoming highly informed about crime scene procedures. So, unfortunately, are the criminals.
For various reasons viewers and readers love to be taken into the mysterious worlds of crime scene examination, police investigation and the scientific aspects of the forensic analysis of violent death. Some say it's because people feel helpless, unable to control the directions of their lives. This argument suggests crime fiction provides refuge from stark reality - where the cosmos can be set to rights and, just for a while at least, a reader can escape to a world where good is rewarded and evil avenged.
Because of the necessary interface between criminal investigation and the cutting edge of science, a writer such as myself who ventures into these areas must be increasingly well equipped. My research has taken me into the desert around Alice Springs, tracking with local Aboriginal people. (Women are the ace trackers, I was told. They always have to know where the kids are, but for obvious reasons, it's men who work with police. And, if you're going to play up with someone you shouldn't, you literally have to get friends to cover your tracks because the marks left on the ground by sexual activity are unmistakable to the trained eye, as clear as the identities of the parties involved.)
Researching my novels, I've studied interviewing techniques, document analysis, how people's own language reveals them as liars. I've trained in hypnosis, I've gone back to university and studied anatomy. Cadavers are humbling. I've pored over DNA profiles, scribbling my notes as I listened to the young women scientists explain the complex techniques involved in its extraction, and sketched the tiny amphoras used in the amplification process. For my latest novel, Lethal Factor, I've pestered experts associated with biological weapons and found out how to grow anthrax.
I've spent time with the dog squad watching Sergeant John and police dog Jutta work as a man-dog unit. I've done work experience with a busy private investigation business, and used subterfuge to ascertain a target's ID. (No use following the wrong sibling who might use his brother's car.)
I've gone into the safe houses and onto the streets guided by a working girl (whose hobbies included the Irish harp and calligraphy), and flinched at the behaviour of the kerb-crawling mugs. I've handled and fired a .32 and a .38 so that I know what they feel like in my hands, how heavy they are, what they smell like, how to shove the magazine up or chamber the bullets. I get out and I do it, only then can I feel confident enough to write about it.
About 20 years ago, when I was writing my third novel, Jumbo, I needed to know what happened at a siege, especially one involving young hostages. I'd reached the end of my own experience. So before I tackled the last section of Jumbo, I wrote to the police minister asking for a nice policeman to assist me with my inquiries. Once the minister's secretary was satisfied I wasn't interested in doing a job on the police, I was put in touch with one of the greatest characters I've ever met. Detective Sergeant T. T. rang me and, with all the enthusiasm of someone who's been posted to a leper colony, informed me he had been instructed to assist me.
We met in his office, he announced how much he loved his son and how much he hated his wife, then with the small talk out of the way, he took me down to the dungeons beneath Blacktown police station. There, alone in the semi-darkness, this big man suddenly pulled out a riot stick and with me bailed up against the lockers trying to remain cool, he went through a terrifying ninja routine. He danced around me like a maniac, whacking the riot stick above and around me, a hair's-breadth from my face and head.
Maybe I reminded him of his wife. I thought my last hour had come. No one knew where I was; I'd lied at work to get an extended lunch hour. "This is what we do when the crims-I-mean-the demonstrators start misbehaving." Whack! "We do this -" whack! "then we grab the crims-I-mean-the-demonstrators and then -" whack! "Like this!" Finally, the display ended, we had a cuppa and he told me about what happens at a siege. "Basically, we just surround them and bore the bastard stupid until he comes out."
These days, trained hostage negotiators spend hours with distressed or drug-addled, alcohol-sozzled, deranged or enraged people, listening to them, not reacting to the abuse and insults hurled at them, suggesting ways that problems might be solved, patiently helping them find a way out, while at the same time trying to hold off the more gung-ho of their tactical colleagues who just want to get in there and grab them.
I spent a couple of hours last week talking to one of the impressive young detectives who does this work. "You are the first person who has ever listened to me," she is sometimes told.
Whatever test I passed down there in the Blacktown dungeons resulted in a devoted research assistant. T. T. took me round the police laboratories. He provided plot devices. I'd asked Police Liaison if they could help me devise a hitch in a missing persons report because the plot of Jumbo needed a delay.
"Could not possibly happen, Madam," they assured me. "It would be acted on within minutes. There is no way a delay could happen."
I phoned T. T. with the same question. "Aaaargh, bullshit, Gaybrul," he said. "Have the report come in about four o'clock on a Friday arvo. They'd all be down at the boozer and nothing'd happen till they clocked on again Monday morning."
You won't learn this sort of thing from books. Nevertheless, the recently published Crime Scene - The Ultimate Guide, does provide a general introduction to readers who are curious about this and related subjects. From the crime scene itself, the book takes the reader through the removal of the body to the post-mortem doctor, to the analyses at forensic laboratories of evidence and body organs right up to the presentation of the findings in court. Between times, it gives brief outlines of the techniques and procedures used by police, pathologists, anthropologists, scientists, ballistics and firearms experts, entomologists, psychologists and profilers.
Crime Scene is a helpful book. But consider T. T. telling me in the police lab how he'd single-handedly searched the ground for more than four hours - "The other buggers were all off chundering in the bushes." (It was New Year's Day and the young girl's body was a horrible, stinking mess) - until he'd accounted for every one of the girl's teeth scattered by scavenging animals or sunk in the mess of putrefaction. While he was telling me this, quite unconsciously, he kept moving to the lab sink, washing his hands, coming back to tell me more, going back to the sink, washing his hands again. In his mind, he was back there in the Blue Mountains on that stinking hot morning. You don't get that from a book.
After getting nowhere with dental records, apart from finding that some of the dead girl's bridge work was probably done overseas, T. T. gave the skull to the police sculptor who took a plaster cast of it and then pegged out the depth of the muscle attachments to the face, building the face up. They used the girl's hair to guess at colouring. T. T. took the reconstructed head and face all around NSW in his own time, displaying it at all the country shows. One day, a woman whose husband had recently committed suicide rang T. T.'s office, wanting to talk to the detective in charge of the case of the unidentified girl. T. T. went to the widow's place where she silently passed him a photograph of a young girl she'd found among her late husband's personal papers. T. T. studied it, comparing it with the facial reconstruction. "Deadset, Gaybrul. For sure that was my little girl." As far as he was concerned, the case was closed. The girl's murderer had moved to the jurisdiction of a higher court.
The section on DNA in Crime Scene is a good place to start learning something of the complexities of short tandem repeats and the polymerase chain reaction. But unless you go out to the analytic laboratory you'll never know that during the process of DNA extraction, the panties of rape victims are pinned out on boards like big, square butterflies. Nor will you smell the vinyl floors or the stench of bloodied clothing that's been bagged, nor the strange odours coming out of fume cupboards, nor will you hear the sound of the labs as the esoteric machines they house hum and sing. A collection of automatic processing machines that I passed one day were softly chiming a perfect C major chord as they went about their business. I hummed along with them.
Crime Scenes has a good section on bloodstains. But it's not the same as walking with my friend the crime scene examiner through the city, and coming upon splashes of ice-cream or paint on the footpath. "OK," he'll say, "what direction does this splash indicate? What can you tell me about its velocity?"
For one of my novels, I researched transcripts of a murder conviction obtained purely on blood-splash interpretation, only to be overturned many years later when a modern expert looked closely at the evidence that had been tendered in court and described as arterial spurt. The expert asked a question which was also an observation: "But hasn't anyone noticed she said that this blood is already clotting?" Until that moment, nobody had. It takes about 20 minutes for blood cells to flocculate in the way they had in this case. Her question overturned that conviction, and vindicated an innocent man's statement; that he'd come upon the injured person some time after the attack and cradled her till the ambulance came, picking up bloodstains in the process.
I hope there will soon be a book called "The Original Crime Scene - Family Violence" illustrating the hidden beatings and abuse, the circumstances of a future criminal's earliest year. Convicted killer Kathleen Folbigg's violent mother attempted to murder her when she was a baby, the murderous assaults only stopping when Folbigg's father murdered her mother. It is horrifying to imagine what that baby witnessed and endured and the even more horrifying consequences many years later. It's not until those hidden crime scenes are fully exposed that we are ever going to comprehend the process whereby that most exquisitely sensitive of all beings, a human infant, with his fragile and still forming mind, is consistently brutalised over many impressionable years, until he is finally perfectly adapted and equipped - some would say irrevocably - with the wiring of a hardened murderous offender.
Crime Scene: The Ultimate Guide to Forensic Science, by Richard Platt, is published by Dorling Kindersley, $45. Gabrielle Lord's next book is Lethal Factor (Hodder Headline), due out in October.

SAMSUNG'S Galaxy S III (known on the internet as the SGS3) isn't just our favourite smartphone of all time, it's our favourite satellite navigation device too.
Win the ultimate holiday of style and sophistication, value at over $25,000 – click or tap to learn how
Samsung phones used to be a bit sluggish when it came to telling you where in the world you were. But not so the SGS3. To improve navigation performance (as well as for tax reasons, we hear), Samsung has built the Russian satellite navigation system, GLONASS, into the SGS3, along with a conventional GPS system. The result is lightning fast location speeds – pull the phone out of your bag and by the time you look at it, it's already tuned into a mix of GPS and GLONASS satellites to pinpoint your exact locale. We've never seen a dedicated GPS device move so fast, let alone a smartphone, let alone a Samsung smartphone. It's a miracle.
USING your phone to read novels while travelling may eliminate the need for yet another item of technology, but it does take its toll on the battery. Hence, better to take a Kindle, too. Its batteries last so long, you won't even need to pack the charger. (Amazon reassures us that a single charge will last a month even if you read for 30 minutes a day). Our favourite Kindle on the road is the Touch 3G. This provides free (well, built into the price of the books) mobile access to the Amazon book store. The touch sensitive screen makes shopping for new books on the Kindle even easier still: you just type in your searches using the on-screen keyboard.
HEAVENS! There are so many good compact cameras out there, it's hard to choose just one. Olympus's Pen and OM-D cameras are great. Fujifilm's X-Pro 1 is wonderful, but maybe a little too bulky for holidays, and its X100 – though smaller – is a little too quirky. Sony's NEX-7 is the one we'd choose. It might not have the best selection of lenses but it does have the right mix of portability, ease of use and superb image quality. Its viewfinder is unbeatable.

Scholars are also able to date ancient manuscripts by analyzing their content and linguistic style.
Three leading scholars examined these aspects of the Gospel of Judas and compared them with other manuscripts from the same period.
Historian Rodolphe Kasser is a former University of Geneva professor and a leading translator of the ancient manuscripts found at Nag 'Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. Bible scholar Marvin Meyer of Chapman University in Orange, California, and Stephen Emmel, professor of Coptic (Egyptian Christian) studies at Germany's University of Munster joined Kasser in evaluating and translating the documents.
The scholars agree that the codex's theological concepts and linguistic structure are similar to those of the Nag 'Hammadi manuscripts. That large collection of texts dates to the same time period as the Judas documents.
The Nag 'Hammadi texts also contain Gnostic writings similar to those found in the Judas codex. Gnostic writings are early Christian texts deemed heretical by Christian leaders of the first centuries A.D.
Emmel explains that the Judas manuscript, like the Nag 'Hammadi texts, contains a second-century Gnostic thought process that would be very difficult to falsify.
To fabricate such a document, "you would have to reflect a world that is totally foreign to any world we know today," Emmel said. "A world that is 1,500 years old is very difficult for scholarseven who spend their lives studying these thingsto understand, let alone to 'create' for other people.
"It would take a real genius to produce an artifact like this and personally I don't think it possible."
"I have no doubt whatsoever that this codex is a genuine artifact of late antique Egypt and that it contains evidence for genuine works of ancient Christian apocryphal literature," Emmel added.

UW Botanic Gardens Newsletter, Vol 8 Issue 3, March 2013
Come See Photographs by Michelle Smith-Lewis
Michelle Smith-Lewis will have an exhibit of photographs entitled Subjects of My Kingdom in the Miller Library during the month of March. View her beautiful experiments with the historic photographic processes of cyanotypes (pictured at right) and wet plate collodion. Join us for an artist reception at the Miller Library on Friday, March 8 from 5 - 7pm.
Take A Class This Spring
The UW Botanic Gardens offers a variety of education programs for everyone, drawing on research and technical expertise from the UW and beyond to include lectures, courses, demonstrations, symposia, and tours. Here is a sampling of what we have to offer this spring.
Learn About Woody Landscape Plants of Seattle
ProHort is also offering a series of classes called Woody Landscape Plants of Seattle. The classes will focus on native and ornamental woody plants that make up the backbone of Seattle gardens. Key plant identification traits, cultural information and landscape design tips for each species will be covered in lectures and field days held at the Washington Park Arboretum. Two Saturday field trips will enhance skills taught in class and illustrate the many contexts in which woody plants can add to the urban landscape. Instructor Katie Murphy is the former UW Botanic Gardens' Hyde Herbarium Collections Manager.
A Glimpse Into the Past
(A monthly column by Dr. John A. Wott, Director Emeritus) Recently, the Washington State Department of Transportation paid the first remediation amount for the construction of the new SR520 Bridge. In this phase, the "ramps to nowhere" will be removed. The original construction of the bridge began in the early 1960s. This overhead photograph, taken on March 18, 1962, shows the beginning of the work in the north end of the Arboretum. Notice the cut through Foster Island and the major construction area on the Miller Street Landfill. Once the entire group of ramps is removed, the "landfill" area will be returned to the Arboretum for future Arboretum use. It should also be noted that Union Bay/Lake Washington dropped 8 -10 feet in this location when the Montlake Cut was opened at the turn of the last century. (Photograph, WSDT – 20976-6).
Mark your Calendars for the Garden Lover's Booksale
The 8th annual Garden Lover's Book Sale is right around the corner! The wine and cheese preview party is Friday, April 5 from 5-8pm. Advance tickets are $20. The book sale is on Saturday, April 6 from 9am to 3pm and admission is free. All events take place at the Center for Urban Horticulture.
George Pinyuh Passes Away
George Pinyuh, a prominent WSU Extension horticulturist, passed away on February 20, 2013. After joining WSU in the seventies, he quickly established himself as an expert on trees and shrubs. He was an icon in the horticultural education community for years, and gardeners listened with great intensity to his radio and TV shows, public lectures, and advice at Master Gardener clinics. He was the last surviving founder of WSU's Master Gardener Program. He was also instrumental in the early building of cooperative programs between UW (CUH) and WSU. The Master Gardener Clinics and Master Gardener Office in Merrill Hall are a direct result of George's labors. In fall 2012, he donated his massive library to the Miller Library. George touched so many lives, and left a legacy in Northwest Horticulture. Celebrations of his life are anticipated when gardens bloom in spring. (This piece was drawn from an article by Sharon Collman of WSU Snohomish Extension and Dr. John A. Wott, UWBG Director Emeritus).
5th Annual Urban Forestry Symposium is Coming in May
The 5th Annual Urban Forestry Symposium will take place on Monday, May 13. The main topic will be the issue of trees vs. views. Speakers will include landscape architect Kathleen Day, tree law experts Barrie Bonapart of Bonapart & Associates and attorney/certified arborist Randall Stamen, Seattle Parks Senior Arborist Mark Mead and others. More details and registration information will be forthcoming in the next issue (and look for an EBlast on the subject).
March 2013 Plant Profile: Edgeworthia chrysantha
(by Soest Gardener Riz Reyes) I always attempt to showcase a different plant. However, for the second year in a row, I couldn't resist mentioning a species that people who visit the UWBG Center for Urban Horticulure will be asking about because it's looking the best it has ever looked. Making a grand return this month is Edgeworthia chrysantha!
I paired it with its close relative Daphne odora in the March 2012 Plant Profile. With the mild winter we've had, both of our specimens came through beautifully. They are starting to bloom their heads off! And, like its relative, it is WONDERFULLY FRAGRANT!
It can be finicky to get established. Make sure you choose a spot with sun/part shade. It also benefits from a protected location, as it's not as hardy as the Daphnes here in the Pacific Northwest. Rich, well-drained soil is a must along with regular irrigation during the summer and fall while buds are setting. Avoid moving it around, as a mature Daphne will sulk if transplanted.
Common Name: Chinese Paper Bush, Yellow Daphne
Come to the Miller Library on Saturday March 9 for the Incredible Insects Story Program. We will read from three stories, learn a song about insects and do a "buggy" craft project. The program is free and starts at 10:30am. It is geared for children 3 to 8 and their families, but all are welcome.
Soest Gardener, EFlora contributor and UW alumnus Riz Reyes took the Founder's Cup with his display at the 2013 Northwest Flower and Garden Show (pictured at right). This is the equivalent of Best in Show. He also won a gold medal for design, the 1st Annual Golden Palette Award and an Environmental Award from the American Horticultural Society. Congratulations, Riz!
While we're on the subject of the Flower and Garden Show, it should also be noted that the UW Botanic Gardens booth was awarded the 2013 Outstanding Marketing Display.
You might also want to save the date for the 2013 Sustaining Our World Lecture, hosted by SEFS and the College of the Environment. The lecture is called Built Ecologies: Regionalism and Resource Integration in the Built World, featuring Thomas Knittel, vice president and project designer with HOK. It happens April 4 at Kane Hall 210 from 6-7 p.m.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/20/12
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- He's Bill Wyman. Travis Releford prefers to stand in the back, unnoticed, given a choice. He's there to hold down the backbeat, to blend into the shadows, to be heard as opposed to being seen. "I have to be aggressive," Releford, Kansas' 6-foot-6 senior wing man, said after his Jayhawks stomped Washington State, 78-41, in the semifinals of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic. "Coach (Bill Self) wants me to continue doing that. But my role is to be one of the great defenders on our team." Which he does, as he has for years, without complaint. Or, for that matter, much in the way of glory. His role with the Kansas men's basketball team, traditionally, has been not unlike the part Wyman, the bassist for the Rolling Stones, played for all those years, thumping from left of nowhere, practically hiding behind drummer Charlie Watts' kit. Wyman had Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in front of him to play to the crowd and get the headlines; Releford had Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor. With both Wyman and Releford, the contributions are subtle. Also, vital. So what made Monday's late-night laugher at Sprint Center interesting wasn't so much the game itself -- the Jayhawks got out to a 19-6 lead and never looked back, the rout was clinical -- but that it featured something unusual: A bass solo. From the second Kansas possession on, Releford was hardly his usual, demure, wallflower self. He was an offensive aggressor, looking to drive, looking for space, looking to finish. A couple of first-half layups pushed the Jayhawk cushion to 34-17 and 36-19, and a 3-pointer with 4:52 left in the period made it 41-21. The Kansas City native came into the evening with 19 points over his first three games. He scored a team-high 17, and in just 23 minutes of work. "I thought he looked pretty relaxed, to be honest with you," Self observed. "I think he was kind of pressing, maybe, up until the last few days. But the last couple of days of practice, you could tell he was getting his confidence back." Even as the third or fourth option in the attack, Releford had gotten off to a rough start, shooting just 6 of 23 from the floor over his first three contests and whiffing on all 11 of his treys. He converted as many field goals against the Cougars (six) as he had all season, and had drained two 3-pointers by the 13-minute mark of the second half. "I mean, coming into this game, teammates and coaches, they continued to have faith in me shooting the ball," allowed Releford, who'd scored more than 16 points in a game just one other time as a Jayhawk -- a 28-point effort at Oklahoma on January 7, 2012. "And they just told me to stop thinking about it, and continue to be and do what I do. So it felt great." It looked pretty great, too. On both ends of the floor, the Jayhawks -- and Releford -- reached into the candy jar with two hands, unleashing a full-court press defensively, then racing down the court to punch hole after hole in the Washington State zone. "Travis obviously stepped up big time, and knocked down shots, and just played his game," Kansas forward Kevin Young said. He makes those in practice, right? "Yeah, all the time," Young replied, smiling. But do you have to push him to take those during a game? Another smile. "Nah. He just turns on the switch, and lets 'em go." After the game, Releford seemed to shrug away the sudden offensive outburst, treating it as a fluke more than anything. But it looked so easy. So smooth. So -- well, natural. The bass player got out to the front of the stage, grabbed the mike, and knocked 'em dead. "I mean, that's how, as a team, and me individually, that's how I get going," Releford explained. "I just (focus) on the defensive end and just let the offense come. If we do that as a team, it just works out the best for us." Still, roles can change. Roles can develop. Releford came into the night averaging 6.3 points per tilt; he averaged 8.6 points a year ago. Self doesn't need him to take a dozen shots for things to float -- super-frosh Ben McLemore and guard Elijah Johnson are there to do most of the chucking -- but a scoring clip closer to 10 points a game out of Releford would be a welcome bonus. A little less shadow, a little more light. You can follow Sean Keeler on Twitter @seankeeler or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com

DOUGIE Freedman has moved to diffuse any potential problems at the Reebok on Saturday as Marvin Sordell prepares to face Millwall.
Around 1,100 Lions fans are heading to the North West, and concerns have been raised that the England Under-21 international striker could be made a target for abuse.
After initially airing the issue on his personal Twitter account, Sordell filed a complaint to police after claiming abusive language had been aimed towards himself and three other substitutes during a game at The Den on October 6, which led to a 13-year-old Millwall fan being banned from the ground for an extended period.
Controversy was stirred up again when a sickening picture was then posted on the 21-year-old's Facebook page by a 14-year-old Millwall fan – later prompting his family to contact The Bolton News to confirm they had sent a full apology to the football club.
And in November, six Millwall fans were arrested when a banner aimed at Sordell and containing more abusive language was unfurled at a home game against Derby County.
The events threaten to cast a shadow on tomorrow's game, although Freedman doubts that anything sinister should be read into the volume of supporters heading up from South London.
"Millwall are bringing up 1,100 fans and the reason they are bringing them is because I think this is a new stadium and I don't think they've been here before," he said. "It'll make for a better atmosphere as far as I'm concerned."
Sordell has been told to fall into line with club guidelines on Twitter after Freedman publicly admitted he had issues with his over-use of the social networking site.
But the Whites boss feels the former Watford man, who scored against Sunderland last weekend, is making progress, and confirmed he will be a part of the matchday squad tomorrow afternoon.
Referring to the ugliness that followed the game in October, Freedman believes the matter is now under control, provided his players bide by the guidelines he has set down.
"It has been dealt with from our side but I can't control what people write on Twitter – they could be Blackburn fans or Burnley fans," he said.
"I can control what we do and I think Marvin and especially the rest of the squad have stayed away from it.
"I think the Millwall fans in particular are up for a bit of banter, and I have come across them on many, many occasions, so it will be interesting to see what they bring to the party."

Maybe its time for a Women Senate Majority Leader
And I think WA Senator Patty Murray is just the person for the job. She does not back down and will not take guff from the other side in the Senate.
I believe that if she was SML that we would have new Senate rules and those repukes would have to explain their objections to bills brought before them.

3. I wish fellow nurses would consider running for office
It would be nice to see a few women who are used to taking no shit in that ego farm.
Reid has done a lot of good things, very quietly. He's just caved on many of the wrong things, the big issues like reining in Republican abuse of the filibuster. I wonder about his priorities.
If you've ever had surgery and had some nurse shove morphine into your IV then stuff her foot up your ass to get you moving when you least wanted to, you'll know what I'm talking about here when I say the Senate desperately needs us.
Oh, don't look at me, I'm disqualified by having gone through the 60s. My closets are not only full of skeletons, they're still partying in there.
However, I can think of few other professions the Senate needs more desperately among its ranks. I generally prefer lawyers to write laws, but they have simply not been capable of doing their jobs for a very long time. Perhaps an infusion of tough women would shape them up.

Ramjattan lauds Ramkarran for speaking up against police abuse of authority
Alliance for Change Chair-man Khemraj Ramjattan commended top PPP member Ralph Ramkarran for speaking up against police abuse of law-abiding citizens and noted that this could open the door for the constructive criticism of other matters of national importance.
"I am calling on others, those who are now learning, who are the sultans and sahibs of the party to come forward. I am happy that the culture of questioning authority is opening and emerging," he said.
Ramkarran, a former Speaker of the National Assembly recently said in the Weekend Mirror that citizens are targeted by TSU and traffic ranks often because of their age or the type of vehicle they drive.
Home Affairs Minister and executive member of the PPP party Clement Rohee, when contacted on Monday was unable to comment. "I cannot go on what you say, I have to read it first," he said. When asked if a call could be returned later on the issue he said he could not say when he would have time to read the article since he was very busy. Calls to him yesterday went unanswered.
Police Commissioner (ag) Leroy Brumell could not be contacted and according to Crime Chief Seelall Persaud he could not comment on the article until he had read it.
Contacted yesterday Ramjattan commended the step that Ramkarran took, stating that it was long overdue.
He said that after reading the article which was republished in the Monday edition of the Stabroek News he was instantly reminded of a similar situation in 1994 when he made critical statements about then minister of home affairs Feroze Mohammed and police commissioner Laurie Lewis.
Ramjattan, who in 1994 was a member of the PPP, recalled that he had spoken about the misconduct of the police, particularly those holding high office within the force. This, he said, later triggered disciplinary action which was dropped after then president Cheddi Jagan intervened.
He told Stabroek News that the attempts to discipline him were made by Reepu Daman Persaud, Roger Luncheon and Harripersaud Nokta, and the trio summoned him to a meeting at the Office of the President (OP). Ramjattan, who is also a parliamentarian, said that the trio indicated that he was being disciplined for being critical of the force, especially the commissioner.
He said that all he was asking for was that there be more civilian oversight of the force. "I felt that Mohamed and Lewis were not doing a good job. I told them if they wanted me to resign I would. I had even walked with it [the resignation] in my back pocket."
In defending his thinking at the time, Ramjattan said that it was not the democracy that he wanted and "I had the right to criticize the government even if I was a part of it."
He said that following the meeting at OP he spoke to Jagan the next day, and said "he was shocked that they were doing that to me." He said that the threat of disciplinary proceedings later "fizzled away." Ramjattan told Stabroek News that during the meeting he "behaved very aggressive with them."
According to Ramjattan, when he read what Ramkarran had said he immediately began to wonder when he would be disciplined for making statements similar to the ones that he had made.
"This shows that times have changed. This might be a good thing to constructively be critical and not fear disciplinary proceedings," he said, adding now that Ramkarran has gone public he would like to see him writing pieces on how he feels about NICIL, corruption and so many other issues that currently affect the public.
"I am happy that he has started the process. This is something that he should have done a long time ago. It is good that he could stand up. Good leadership is always about the courage to state the facts and not simply to write it long after," he said, recalling that previously Ramkarran had told him that he privately disapproved of Stabroek News ad cuts. "He didn't write about it until 2012," he said.
Ramjattan told Stabroek News that when wrongs are being committed, "you have an obligation under the moral law, and if you are religious, under the religious law to state [this].
'Personal matter'
However shadow Home Affairs Minister of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Winston Felix had a different take on the matter, as according to him, Ramkarran was using a personal matter to talk about the "deep seated nature of the police."
Felix said that comments such as those made by Ramkarran, "would never assist in ensuring that police conduct themselves properly in the enforcement of the law."
In the article, Ramkarran recounted an incident involving Wentworth Tanner, the Director of Social Services attached to the Ministry of Social Services, who was previously the Chief Licensing Officer having previously been attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Guyana Revenue Authority.
He said that the TSU ranks who were heavily armed had stopped Tanner in a busy section of North Road, surrounded his vehicle and made a demand to search it.
Ramkarran detailed how rude the officers, whose names he mentions, were during the episode.
Felix, a former police commissioner, said that he had served in the force for 36 years and knows that "better can be done if those who now manage the force have professional and moral strength to stand as guardians of the integrity of the force to ensure that justice is done to aggrieved members of the public and to ensure the policemen are dealt with fairly."
He said that he cannot confirm the "deep seated" opinion of Ramkarran, noting that during his time as a divisional commander and a sub-division commander he had to deal with allegations against members of the force. According to Felix, he had also received many complimentary comments from the public who were pleased with the way junior ranks interacted with them.
He stressed that one must recognize that in the exercise of power policemen or any other person entrusted with power, "tend to overstep the boundaries, and in recognition of that possibility police rely on laws, legislation and [their] own internal system and procedures to take corrective action against errant members of the force."
Felix noted that the Summary Jurisdiction Act deals with assaults, among other things, while in the Police (Discipline) Act 17:01 a rank may be charged with incivility towards members of the public and taking a bribe, among others.
He added that in the later '90s and early 2000s the force's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) was established to address the kind of complaints related by Ramkarran.
He noted that because of all of the work that is being done within the force, "I can say the administration of the force is making efforts to control the behaviour of ranks."
"The public knows good police work when they see criminals stopped and searched, or even arrested as a result thereof," he said, adding that consequently the Force is more likely to earn the respect and confidence of the public they serve with the resultant benefit of securing their assistance in the fight against crime.
"Therefore it would seem to me to be in the interest of the police to perform their duties to the satisfaction of the public rather than to incur their wrath through misconduct in one form or another," he said.

University of Minnesota, Morris
Campus Resources and Planning Committee
September 20, 2007
Members Present: Pete Wyckoff, Jenny Wermerskirchen, Michelle Page, Joe Basel,
Jennifer Rothchild, Sara Haugen, Brook Miller, Dave Swenson,
LeAnn Dean, Sharon VanEps, Ken Hodgson, Lowell Rasmussen
Guests: James Morales, Jennifer Zych Herrmann, Bryan Herrmann,
Margaret Kuchenreuther, Vicki Graham
Minutes from September 13 2007 meeting approved as presented. Motion made by Michelle Page, second by Joe Basel.
Pete announced that some of the meetings would be moved to Tuesdays instead of Thursdays to avoid a scheduling conflict with the Curriculum Committee. Those dates and locations will be announced soon.
Update on Enrollment
James Morales distributed two handouts outlining the projection models for new high school students and transfer students. Our unofficial enrollment as of today is 1691 compared to 1747 last year, a 3.2% decrease. We also have less non-degree students enrollment this fall—117 compared to 151 from last year. The female to male ratio is 58% and 42% respectively. He also reported that the application deadline date has been moved up. Brook Miller wondered how the earlier deadline affects visitors' decisions. James responded that it actually opens up more opportunities for students than drawbacks. Sara Haugen asked if $1,000 tuition reduction had an impact on the numbers. James responded that he hoped it would have had more of an impact. Jen Herrmann added that because it was announced so late in the academic year, it probably helped more with retention numbers. Pete inquired about quality indicators. James said the class rank for incoming freshman is 75.4% and the average ACT is 24.9 compared to 75% and 24.4% from 2006. Bryan Herrmann also noted that we have reset our scholarships for this year—offering larger awards for the top 5%. Pete said he was curious about other comparisons. If other committee members have additional questions, they can forward those questions to Pete or directly to James. James, Bryan and Jen are willing to come back to offer additional information and discuss strategies at a later date.
Discussion of proposed environmental studies major
Margaret Kuechenreuther reported that the Environmental Studies area of concentration has existed at UMM for some time and eight students have graduated from UMM with that degree. As of February 2007, eleven currently enrolled students were seeking an Environmental Studies area of concentration. Additionally, our Admissions office reports strong student interest in Environmental Studies among our potential student pool. In the fall of 2005, a group of interested faculty convened to discuss the possibility of converting the existing area of concentration into a major. That group now consists of: Sheri Breen, Donna Chollett, Chris Cole, Vicki Graham, Jamey Jones, Arne Kildegaard, Margaret Kuchenreuther, Dennis Stewart, and Pete Wyckoff. The need for formalized "environmental" curriculum arose repeatedly in the strategic planning process and appears in the 2006 strategic plan in the first recommendation for new campus initiatives. The 2007 Compact request included new recurring funding for an interdisciplinary major and a portion of that request was granted. This new program will initially house an interdisciplinary environmental studies major, that will report to the Dean.
Much of the faculty expertise and interest in the environment already exist at UMM. In the sciences, faculty members whose teaching and research interests are focused on the environment include all four of the current members of Geology, five in Biology and additional faculty from Physics and Chemistry. Environmental interest and expertise are also found in the Humanities and Social Sciences Divisions, including faculty in Anthropology, Economics, English, History, and Political Science.
UMM has several non-curricular ongoing environmental programs and innovations, including recycling, the wind turbine, the coming biomass plant, the local food initiative and the new campus Sustainability Coordinator. Additionally, UMM will be adding a green residence hall to campus.
Due to time constraints, this discussion will continue at the meeting next week.

In general, I personally felt that DA2 had a more cartoon-like, childish feel as compared to a more realistic, adult oriented DAO. This description of DA3 combat as having a tactical feel suggests the developers might have opted for simple, non-tactical combat that somehow feels tactical, to appeal to a younger audience. For me, the attractiveness of DA2's shiny and fast combat wore off quickly, while the complexity and depth of DAO's combat/character design and choice offerings kept pulling me back into the game.

Democrats Ask Drug Policy Office to Do More to Combat Opioid Epidemic
Twenty Democratic senators are asking the Office of National Drug Control Policy to do more to combat the opioid epidemic, according to the Associated Press.
Get personalized support for your family
The 'winners' at the 'Hackademy Awards' differed from the films honored at this week's Oscars — and the recipients didn't show up to pick up their awards. But the name of the program, designed to raise awareness about smoking in movies, didn't sit well with the organizers of the Academy Awards.
The Los Angeles Times reported Feb. 19 that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has challenged the Hackademy Awards with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. The awards, given annually since 1997, are a project of Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails.
Breathe California trademarked the name Hackademy Awards two years ago, but AMPAS is seeking to have the trademark revoked. "We are obliged to protect our trademark in all cases because if we don't protect it in one instance, it diminishes our ability to protect it in others," said AMPAS spokesperson Leslie Unger. "We have no opinion whatsoever on what they're doing, merely the phrase they're using. We can't allow that to become confused with this organization in any way."
This year's "thumbs down" Hackademy Award went to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which organizers said included more than 100 instances of cigarette smoking without addressing negative consequences. The "thumbs up" award went to "What Happens in Vegas," which had no smoking scenes.
"There was no tobacco and nobody missed it," said Breathe California deputy director Kori Titus. "Nobody left the movie saying, 'I can't believe they didn't show tobacco.' The point is that it's rarely so integral to the plot and people rarely miss it when it's not there."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Quarterback helped engineer Stanford
to upset win
against Ohio State.
By Steve Ramirez
Staff Writer
Jim Plunkett, a former Stanford quarterback who also guided the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders to two Super Bowl wins, will be in attendance when the Cardinal returns to the Rose Bowl to face Wisconsin in the 99th game next week.
It's fitting for the San Jose native, who orchestrated one of the top upsets in Rose Bowl history, leading the Stanford Indians to a 27-17 victory in the 57th Rose Bowl in 1971.
For Plunkett, it seems like yesterday when he rallied Stanford back in the fourth quarter in what he recently described as one of the best memories of his career.
"It was a different time," said Plunkett, who despite winning the Heisman Trophy that season didn't really debut himself until that sunny January afternoon in Pasadena.
"College football has grown so much. But for me, it was my greatest moment up to that time in my life."
Part of it was the buildup to the moment itself. The Cardinal - then known as the Indians - were not an overnight success. The program had hit some hard times and nowhere near the national spotlight.
But the hiring of John Ralston in 1963 and the arrival of Plunkett in 1967, changed the fortunes of the Indians. By the time the 1970 season opener rolled around, Plunkett was the orchestrator of one of the best passing offenses in the country.
Stanford was competitive in his junior year in 1969 and ready for great things heading into the opener in 1970.
"We had been so close," said Plunkett, the first Latino to win the Heisman Trophy after he led Stanford to an 8-3 regular season by throwing for 2,715 yards and 18 touchdowns. "We thought we should have been in the Rose Bowl the previous year. We were expecting great things."
The Indians matched their expectations, winning seven of their first eight, including wins over No. 4 USC (24-14) and No. 16 UCLA (9-7) to wrap up the Pac-8 title.
Most experts had them overmatched by Ohio State, which was seeking its second consecutive national title after going 11-0 to win the Big Ten.
"We knew they were a great football team," Plunkett said. "But we also knew they hadn't seen a a passing attack like ours."
Plunkett, who threw for 265 yards and a touchdown against the Buckeyes, showed it off in the fourth quarter, rallying the Indians from a 17-13 deficit. He put them ahead with an 80-yard drive that was highlighted by a 35-yard pass to tight end Bob Moore to set up Jackie Brown's 2-yard run for the 20-17 lead.
After Stanford intercepted a pass from quarterback Rex Kern, Plunkett threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Randy Vataha to clinch it at 27-17 with just more than eight minutes to play.
"We had no doubt that we could come back," Plunkett said. "We were confident in what we could do."
Plunkett would go on to bigger and greater things, leading the Raiders to two Super Bowl titles, and finish a 15-year NFL career with more than 25,000 passing yards.
Today, he is part of a postgame radio show for the Raiders and also co-hosts a variety of Raiders television shows. But he remains a proud Stanford alum who looks fondly at what he and his teammates accomplished in 1971.
"Most of the guys I played with, we came up together and played four years together," Plunkett said. "I'm still very close to those guys, and we use moments (like the 99th Rose Bowl Game) to remember. We talk a lot about what we did and look back."
