The Ohio Machine has been busy on the player front over these past few days, acquiring some of the best veterans in Major League Lacrosse to build an incredible team for the 2012 inaugural season.
In their historical first player move, the Machine acquired The Ohio State University alums Greg Bice, Anthony Kelly and Stefan Schroder, as well as MLL veteran Brett Garber and Rochester's second round MLL Collegiate Draft pick (15
th overall). In return, the Machine traded their first round (1
st overall) 13
th round (25
th overall) MLL Expansion Draft picks and their second round (10
th overall) and third round (18
th overall) MLL Collegiate Draft picks to Rochester.
"Greg and Anthony are two veteran all-stars and outstanding players. Brett has proven to be a consistent scorer in Major League Lacrosse and Stefan is one of the up and coming young goalies in the League," said Head Coach Ted Garber. "With this core group of talented players, we are off to a great start to putting our team together for next season."
The Machine followed up their first big trade with another trade with the 2011 MLL Champions Boston Cannons, receiving the Cannons' first round MLL Collegiate Draft pick (8
th overall). The Cannons received the Machine's second round MLL Collegiate Draft pick (15
th overall), which was acquired through the Rochester trade, and sixth round MLL Expansion Draft pick (11
th overall).
"This is a notable move for us because it gives us two picks in the top eight of the upcoming collegiate draft," said President and GM John Algie. "We have the opportunity to select two of the next great MLL stars who can be impact players for us in seasons to come."
To round out their impressive week of trading, the Machine closed out with a significant trade with the Chesapeake Bayhawks to receive the 2010 MLL Championship Weekend MVP and four-year MLL veteran Kyle Hartzell and Chesapeake's second round MLL Supplemental Draft pick (13
th overall). In exchange, the Bayhawks received the Machine's seventh round MLL Expansion Draft pick (13
th overall).
"Anytime you have the opportunity to trade for a MLL Championship Weekend MVP, you have to make that move," said President and GM John Algie. "Kyle will inject an incredible amount of athleticism and versatility into the Machine defense."

Not everything about the past can easily be categorized as "the good old days."
Some St. Vincent's Hill Historic District residents, however, are seeing benefits in returning their streets into a modernized version of their hey day -- with narrow roadways, big front lawns, street parking and lots of trees meeting roundabouts, bicycle lanes and bicycle boulevards.
Sarah Nichols and Judy Irvin, executive director and board member, respectively, of Solano Advocates Green Environments (SAGE), have turned their sights on their own neighborhood and how it becomes a more livable, convivial place. In fact, it's an effort they and others have undertaken in various fashions for the past five years.
To that end, Nichols joined with her neighbors to draft a cultural landscape report, titled "Mean Streets to Green Streets." It would return residents their tree-lined front yards by narrowing the roadways.
"Everyone understands historic buildings. But the environment around them is ephemeral," Nichols, a landscaper, said. "So, you do historic research and you come up with solutions that are historically feasible for the area."
In recent years, the federal historically registered neighborhood has had its share of street prostitution and crime to grapple with, and residents have publicly voiced their concerns about it.
And now, neighbors are looking to their next step -- actively improving the area.
The two women say they want to begin with Sacramento Street, a four-lane road now used less to handle high traffic volumes than to facilitate speeding traffic.
The city was able to widen its old streets in the 1960s to 80-foot right of ways that had been established at the city's founding by General Mariano G. Vallejo. He had envisioned grand boulevards in the pre- motor vehicle times, Nichols said. During the redevelopment boom of the 1960s, streets like Sacramento were widened to four lanes, in anticipation of unrealized traffic upticks.
Nichols said she is aware of public concerns about putting all available city money into public safety. She agrees that is worthwhile, but adds that beautification also should have a place in the city's budget.
"When you plant a tree, you pant hope," Nichols said. "Fifty years from now, we can give something to the next generation who lives here... Beautification, if not dealt with now -- if not now, when?"
At 6 p.m. Monday, SAGE will make a presentation to the city's Beautification Advisory and Code Enforcement Commission -- of which Nichols is a member -- at Vallejo City Hall on the cultural landscape report. They also went before the city Housing and Redevelopment Commission earlier this month seeking a $325,000 federal Community Development Block Grant to pay for engineering drawings for their plan.
Irvin, an architect by trade, said she does not see changes to her neighborhood happening overnight, but hopes that the city will consider seriously revising its street standards for all city historic districts.
"Visions are powerful," Irvin said. "You can talk about problems all you want, but when you have a picture .. it's easy to get behind. ... I do see a meme being planted in people's brains."

Leinster lock forward Tom Denton has been banned for six weeks for a dangerous tackle against the Cardiff Blues at Cardiff Arms Park last week.
An independent RaboDirect PRO12 Disciplinary Committee upheld a citing for the tackle and said that aggravating factors, including the need for a deterrent for the type of offence and the player's recent disciplinary record, meant a six-week ban rather than a four-week was necessary.
Denton is suspended from all rugby until midnight on Sunday 24 March, but he can appeal.

Has American manufacturing found a champion in the unlikeliest of quarters? Walmart, the world's No. 1 retailer, has announced several major initiatives, including a plan to increase domestic sourcing of the products it sells. Speaking at the National Retail Federation's annual BIG Show on Tuesday, Bill Simon, the company's CEO, pledged to buy an additional $50 billion in U.S.-made products over the next 10 years. Both Walmart and its Sam's Club subsidiary will grow U.S. production on two fronts, according to Simon: by increasing what they buy here (in categories such as sporting goods, apparel, storage products, games, and paper products) and by shifting the production of items like textiles, furniture, and higher-end appliances onshore.
Walmart's change in tack will surprise many of its detractors, who have pilloried the chain store for its foreign-product-sourcing, predatory business policies, lackluster environmental record, and unjust labor practices. After a factory fire killed at least 112 garment workers in Bangladesh in December, labor-rights campaigners accused Walmart of playing a lead role in blocking a proposal to have global retailers help their suppliers improve their electrical and fire safety.
Walmart's detractors have pilloried the chain store for its foreign-product-sourcing, predatory business policies, and unjust labor practices.
Could the so-called "evil empire" really pull a 180? "At the heart of our national political conversation today is one issue: creating jobs to grow the economy," said Simon. "We are meeting with our suppliers on domestic manufacturing and are making a strong commitment to move this forward."
The Walmart chief also claimed that, contrary to popular conception, roughly two-thirds of the company's spending involves items that are made, sourced, or grown in the United States. The retailer, he added, has appointed a senior team within the company to lead the effort to raise that number.
"We can do so much more by working in partnership—as an industry and with governments," said Simon. "I've talked with a number of governors, including the incoming chair of the National Governors Association, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, about how governors and retailers and manufacturers can drive this issue together. Governors from both sides of the aisle are enthusiastic about getting their constituents back to work."

I still won't shop there again but it's something at least. We'll see if they follow through.
Noble sentiment… but give me a break – what is $50B over 10 years for Walmart+SAMs relative to its normal purchases?
Not news – don't fall for the PR folks next time.
I certainly hope that they keep their promise. It's about time that big business like Walmart started helping, rather than hurting the American economy.
this is about 1.6% of its product expenditure. a pitiful token.
in 2010 Walmart reported that it spent $304.66 billion on stock

MENLO PARK, CA--(Marketwire - May 03, 2012) - Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of severe metabolic and psychiatric disorders, today updated its corporate progress and reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
On April 10, 2012, Corcept began offering its first medicine, Korlym™ (mifepristone), less than eight weeks after the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it as a once-daily oral treatment of hyperglycemia secondary to endogenous Cushing's syndrome in adult patients with glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus type 2 who have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery. Korlym is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for that illness.
"We are proud to have made Korlym available so quickly following its approval," said Joseph K. Belanoff, M.D., Corcept's Chief Executive Officer. "Cushing's is a debilitating, life-threatening illness. We wanted patients who might benefit from the medicine to receive it without delay."
Corporate and Development Highlights
So far in 2012, Corcept has:
Anticipated Activities for the Remainder of 2012
"While the successful launch of Korlym is our primary focus," said Dr. Belanoff, "we continue to investigate mifepristone as a potential treatment for psychotic depression and to advance our next-generation of selective GR-II antagonists."
First Quarter Financial Results
Corcept reported a net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.13 per share, for the first quarter of 2012, compared to a net loss of $7.1 million, or $0.09 per share, for the first quarter of 2011.
Research and development expenses decreased to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $4.9 million for first quarter of 2011, primarily due to higher costs during the first quarter of 2011 associated with preparations for the submission of the company's NDA for Korlym, purchase of Korlym's active pharmaceutical ingredient, manufacture of Korlym tablets and manufacturing development activities at a potential second tableting facility. There were also decreases between these periods in costs related to clinical trials of Korlym for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome, for drug-drug interaction and other NDA-supportive studies with Korlym and studies related to the Phase 1b/2a studies of CORT 108297, one of our next-generation compounds. These decreases from 2011 expenses were only partially offset by increases in staffing costs that included bonuses in an aggregate amount of approximately $441,000 awarded on FDA approval in 2012 to employees working in these functions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $2.2 million for first quarter of 2011, reflecting increased costs associated with our preparations for commercialization of Korlym. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2012 included bonuses in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.6 million awarded on FDA approval to officers and employees working in these functions and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to option awards to officers with performance-based criteria that vested upon the FDA approval.
Our cash balance as of March 31, 2012 was $42.6 million, as compared to $39.6 million at December 31, 2011, and reflects net proceeds of approximately $12.9 million from our March 2012 financing transaction, less approximately $10.2 million spent on operations during the first quarter of 2012. "We anticipate that our current cash balance is sufficient to fund the company through the first quarter of 2013," said Charles Robb, the company's Chief Financial Officer.
About Cushing's Syndrome
Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol and is generated by tumors that produce cortisol or ACTH. Cushing's syndrome is an orphan indication which most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. An estimated 10 to 15 of every one million people are newly diagnosed with this syndrome each year, resulting in over 3,000 new patients in the United States. An estimated 20,000 patients in the United States have Cushing's syndrome. Symptoms vary, but most people have one or more of the following manifestations: high blood sugar, diabetes, high blood pressure, upper body obesity, rounded face, increased fat around the neck, thinning arms and legs, severe fatigue and weak muscles. Irritability, anxiety, cognitive disturbances and depression are also common. Cushing's syndrome can affect every organ system in the body and can be lethal if not treated effectively.
About Korlym™ (mifepristone) 300 mg Tablets
Korlym blocks the glucocorticoid receptor type II (GR-II) to which cortisol normally binds, thereby inhibiting the effects of excess cortisol in Cushing's syndrome patients. On April 10, 2012, Corcept made Korlym available as a once-daily oral treatment of hyperglycemia secondary to endogenous Cushing's syndrome in adult patients with glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus type 2 who have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery. Korlym is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for that illness and the FDA has designated it as an Orphan Drug for that indication. Orphan Drug designation is a special status designed to encourage the development of medicines for rare diseases and conditions. Because Korlym is an Orphan Drug, Corcept will have marketing exclusivity for the approved indication in the United States until February 2019.
About Psychotic Depression
Psychotic depression is a serious psychiatric disorder that affects approximately three million people annually in the United States. It is more prevalent than either schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder. The disorder is characterized by severe depression accompanied by delusions, hallucinations or both. People with psychotic depression are approximately 70 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population and often require lengthy and expensive hospital stays. There is no FDA-approved treatment for psychotic depression.
See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.
Mifepristone has potent antiprogestational effects and will result in the termination of pregnancy. Pregnancy must therefore be excluded before the initiation of treatment with Korlym, or if treatment is interrupted for more than 14 days in females of reproductive potential
Warnings and Precautions
Adverse Reactions
Most common adverse reactions in Cushing's syndrome (≥ 20%): nausea, fatigue, headache, decreased blood potassium, arthralgia, vomiting, peripheral edema, hypertension, dizziness, decreased appetite, endometrial hypertrophy.
To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Corcept Therapeutics at 1-855-844-3270 or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

The minor in sustainability at Pacific University allows students to craft their own course of study within the environmental studies field in order to build their understanding of the components of sustainability, including people, planet, profit and civic engagement. Students gain the core knowledge that allows them to enhance their primary field of study with environmental knowledge. They may use their understanding of sustainability in the corporate world, in nonprofits, in building design, in art, or in education.
Program Highlights
- Study the three interconnected viewpoints of the sustainability development triangle: people, planet and profit
- Transform knowledge into action with a civic engagement project
- Complement any major or career plan with an understanding of sustainability practices
- Build knowledge in natural and social sciences, humanities and arts, all from an environmental or sustainability perspective
Students in the sustainability minor choose from a broad selection of courses. All students build a foundation with courses in permaculture design, environmental science and sustainability. Students then enhance the application of their foundational skills with courses that fall into the realms of civic engagement (social work, eco-theatre or service learning), people/culture/values (environmental literature, history, politics), planet/ecoliteracy (biology, chemistry, restoration) and profit (international business, environmental economics).
Students who complete a minor in sustainability are prepared to put their knowledge to work in any field. They may aspire to government jobs, as urban planners or consultants. Or, they may find a place for their understanding of sustainability in a nonprofit position or in a corporation looking to account for its "green" initiatives. Our graduates work in education, business, healthcare, art and policymaking.
Department of Environmental Studies
The Department of Environmental Studies also offers majors in environmental biology, environmental chemistry and toxicology and sustainable design, as well as minors in environmental science and environmental policy. Students interested in social sciences may choose a major in environmental studies: policy, culture and society.

As the mom of both a June and an August (eeeeek!) baby, I totally relate to this week's Nameberry Style column by Elisabeth Wilborn, creator of The Itsy Factor and You Can't Call It It, on hot weather maternity style. How to make it through those final weeks and months (and hours!) of pregnancy in both comfort and style? Elisabeth has the answer.
This is the year of the Maxi dress, and if you're pregnant, you are in luck. The perfect maternity dresses can be found everywhere, for super cheap, and you'll be in style!
One of my favorites is this stripey number from Old Navy. The inverted V celebrates your burgeoning belly, and will accentuate your new best feature(s). Added bonus: no one will see those swollen ankles (I feel for you, I've been there and I'm so sorry!)
A necklace will help elongate your look. Anthropologie has the most luxurious collection, and remember that accessories will long out last your maternity wardrobe. These wedge heels from Tom's add height without sacrificing comfort, plus, with Tom's One for One project, you are automatically purchasing a pair for someone in need.
Scarves add a finished look to every outfit and are all the rage this season. Choose a color that flatters your skin, and avoid being matchy-matchy with it.
This market tote from Madewell is perfect for the beach, and can even double as a diaper bag later! I hope you always have a big bottle of water on you, something salty and something with a little sugar, like green grapes. Summer can be brutal on mamas-to-be, and this satchel will help you stay prepared for anything. With two toddlers in tow I use mine all the time—might as well get used to giant bags now.
Keep cool with a nice hat—a fedora or a wide floppy, something that you feel comfortable in and would wear anyway even if you weren't pregnant. Don't go crazy, you can still dress like yourself. But try to embrace your new sexy fertility goddess frame. The piece de resistance? The perfect pair of shades. We love this glam pair from Oliver Peoples. They're an investment, but as long as you always put them back in your woven bag and promise not to lose them, they're a good one.
Finally, treat yourself to a fresh haircut. In keeping with the idea of lengthening, preserve the locks as long as possible and and try to frame that pretty face. YOU are who we want to see, and we cannot wait to meet the person inside. Enjoy summer mamas.

Entering into the Vidalia onion deal in a larger way, Curry & Co. has bought Gerrald's Vidalia Sweet Onion Inc.âs packing facility.
Brooks, Ore.-based Curry purchased the Statesboro, Ga.-based packing facility from Terry Gerrald, president, and Jamie Brannen, sales manager.
While Gerrald and Brannen leave the packing side of the business, Matt Curry, Curryâs president, plans to keep them on to manage Curryâs new Georgia farming operations which the Gerraldâs principals had been growing primarily on leased land, Brannen said.
Brannen said Curry plans to add sales people in the Georgia offices and enlarge his Vidalia operations.
âIt has gotten to the point to where we have to expand to be competitive,â Brannen said. âTerry and I werenât in a position to hire a sales force. What Terry and I do is farm and pack. The produce business has gotten to be a more serious business and takes a lot more management. This allows us to quit sitting behind the desk and be on the telephones all the time so we can go back to the fields and do what we like to do.â
Curry plans to use the modern 200,000-square-foot facility that was built in 2005 for product consolidation, Curry said in a news release.
He said the operation, which has Primus, Davis Fresh, Silliker and Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point certifications, should provide Curry a versatile location centrally located on the East Coast.
âWhen they built this facility they did it right,â Curry said in the release. âWe have the latest technology in drying rooms, 100% consumer packaging capabilities, high graphic bags, efficient loading docks and a stellar record on food safety. Itâs a great opportunity for Curry & Co. Plus, the quality of the onions weâll be packing is outstanding, as weâre partners with two of the leading Vidalia growers.â
Since 2007, Gerraldâs has handled and repacked Curryâs East Coast Chilean and Peruvian sweet onions that are imported through Savannah, Ga., and Curry since 2008 has also marketed more of Gerraldâs Vidalias.
Curry, a year-round supplier of sweet onions, storage onions, potatoes and blueberries, joins Gerraldâs, which grows and ships Vidalias as well as carrots and watermelons.
Brannen said Curry plans to sell the carrots and continue packing under the Gerraldâs label as well has his other Curry and Vidalia Sweetheart labels
In a typical season, Gerraldâs has packed 500,000 40-pound cartons of Vidalia onions, 500,000 equivalent packages of carrots and 300 loads of watermelon.
Gerrald, who won the 2009 Vidalia Grower of the Year award, began commercially growing Vidalias in 1985 after he had been growing cantaloupe and watermelon.

South Africa won the second Test by 231 runs to level their three-Test series against Australia at 1-1.
Hashim Amla pushed on from 93 overnight to 127 not out before the Proteas declared on 270 for five to set Australia a target of 448.
Openers Chris Rogers and David Warner put on 126 but remarkably, all 10 wickets then fell for 90 as South Africa avoided a nervous final day, with heavy rain forecast in Port Elizabeth.
Amla's century came up when he guided Ryan Harris behind point for four, his 14th boundary from 139 balls.
His partnership with Test debutant Quinten de Kock reached 64 before the latter, on 34, was caught by Michael Clarke off Nathan Lyon.
Amla and JP Duminy hit boundaries in the same Peter Siddle over and after Duminy (18no) added another in the paceman's next over, Graeme Smith called his players in.
Rogers and Warner, far from merely surviving the 33 minutes before lunch, scored at virtually four an over to reach 33 without loss.
Warner took the tourists to 50 with four successive fours off Morne Morkel but had a let-off when Duminy was unable to hold a return catch after colliding with non-striker Rogers.
Warner needed only 61 balls to advance to 50, doing so with a three off Steyn aided by an overthrow and having hit six fours and a six.
The century partnership came up from the first ball of the next over, the 25th and Rogers brought up his half-century with a boundary off Morkel, who responded by ripping a ball past his edge later in the over.
With the score at 126 without loss, Proteas wicketkeeper AB de Villiers was heard on the stump microphone shouting "150 for four here boys" - and it was to prove prophetic.
Duminy immediately returned for a second spell and trapped Warner lbw for 66 with his second ball, the batsman unsuccessful with a review.
Australia were 141 for one at tea but Alex Doolan's painstaking innings of five was finally ended after 43 balls when he edged Morkel to Graeme Smith at first slip.
Vernon Philander added the scalp of Shaun Marsh, who followed his first-Test century with a pair, and Steyn ripped out Clarke and Steve Smith in successive balls, the Australian captain edging low to Faf du Plessis in the slips before his team-mate was pinned lbw.
The hat-trick ball was harmless but at 156 for five, De Villers' prediction had been more than borne out.
Steyn produced a reverse inswinger to bowl Brad Haddin for one but South Africa failed with an optimistic lbw review against Rogers, the only remaining specialist batsman, when he was on 90.
Two boundaries off Dean Elgar then helped the opener to a deserved century from 192 balls, with 11 fours.
An lbw review against Mitchell Johnson did pay dividends, Philander's delivery adjudged to be on line for leg stump, but Rogers survived with the help of DRS after De Villiers claimed a catch which replays showed he had knocked into the ground before taking.
Harris, though, could not overturn Steyn's lbw appeal, an 'umpire's call' verdict leaving Australia 209 for eight. Earlier in the over, Harris had chopped a ball into the ground and then, in trying to shepherd it away, almost contrived to edge it back onto his stumps.
Rogers' valiant innings finally ended at 107 when he was run out, substitute fielder Alviro Petersen's throw from mid-off just brushing the stumps and dislodging the bails slowly enough that several replays were needed.
And when Lyon was given lbw despite edging Elgar's delivery, with no reviews remaining, it was 216 all out and all over.
Steyn led the way with four for 55 while Johnson and Harris, amazingly, shared the innings' third-highest score on six.

1. Another word for "subculture" that doesn't sound quite so scientific, allowing it to be used in daily conversation. Used this way it usually has an adjective modifying it: the "indy scene" or the "hardcore scene" or the "emo scene." When someone refers to a particular "scene," they're talking about everything - the people, the places, the fashion, the music, and the trends.
2. A tongue-in-cheek reference to the trends and fashions of the various scenes. Many of these subcultures were built around countercultural ideals and nonconformist attitudes; the fact that trends even exist is humorous irony, and using "scene" as an adjective originally intended to lampoon that.
3. A trend of sorts that evolved from the indy, emo, and hardcore scenes (see the first definition); basically, anything that can be sold at Hot Topic. As events like Warped Tour - and artists like Avril Lavigne - became popular, the trends and fashions of these three scenes (and a few others) were gradually amalgamized and commericalized to create the generic "scene" monkier. Someone who is "scene" generally borrows from the various subcultures and combines them together - you can tell they're part of *a* scene, but no one is quite sure *what* scene. It is important to note that this use of "scene" refers to a fashion trend - it isn't a subculture in its own right, because it has no music, venues, or attitudes of its own to live on after it loses popularity.
4. An ironic insult toward followers of the "scene" trend outlined in 3. Calling someone "scene" brings up images of Avril Lavigne, Hot Topic, Good Charlotte, and, more recently, Myspace; it implies that he or she is a fair-weather fan, conforming to be popular or to fit in. In that sense, it is related to the term poseur. It also implies being more worried about the more visible icons of a particular scene (the fashion and language, for example) than the music that the scene is founded on. Calling someone a scenester basically means the same thing.
2. Wow... a Thundercats shirt, crotch-hugging faded jeans, and a devilock... how very scene of you. Not to mention your ratty Converse shoes or your Know Your Mushrooms armband.
3. Be more scene. Shop at Hot Topic.
4. Enjoy being scene while it lasts, because Myspace isn't enough to keep it going once the next fad hits.

The word "scene" coves a large spectrum throughout recent history, but its most modern definition is used to describe certian subcultures and movements. The most notoriously famous and targeted is the alternative music scene, or more specifically, branches of the alternative music scene such as hardcore, indie, fashoionxcore, etc. A breed of scenesters (people on the scene) has begun to come to the forefront. These scenesters are usually very music-savvy and loyal to a few specific genres (typically hardcore, metal, indie, retro, 80's new wave, classic rock, etc. to name a few), of which they dress to exemplify. It is hard to pin down a style for a scene male or female, considering the trends amongst them vary from coast to coast, and certian fads come in and out within their ranks. Typically, though, many scene kids will have facial piercings, tattoos, and longer hair. It is not unusual to see teased hair with long bangs on males, or short fauxhawks (a mohawk without the sides shaved, a fashion-friendly version) on females. It is almost a throwback to the revolution of Britian's glam era, very androgynous and fresh. Scenesters take a lot of pride in their overall image, and often they appreciate shock value. Oftentimes they are thrifty, employing their abilities as bargian-hunters and do-it-yourself gurus to do something unique with their style. Large vintage sunglasses, retro patterns, tight jeans, classic metal/band tees, plastic jewelry, and heavy eye makeup are just some of the incorperations into scene style for either sex. This style and showmanship is at its height during shows (concerts), where often scene kids will meet their friends and size up strangers who visit their turf. There indeed is competition among scenesters...sometimes friendly, sometimes not. Shows are in fact not just concerts, but often a means of socialization for those on the scene. Those people who partake in scene lifestyle often choose to date/socialize only with those like them, which can cause bitterness or rejection to outsiders.
The music scene is often associated with other areas that scenesters are interested in, which is liekely, art, photography, creative writing, poetry, tattoos & piercings, civil rights, animal rights, etc. Many scene kids have strong beliefs about these things and consider those who do not to be "posers." They feel that their scene style is not only a fashion statement, but an all-encompassing lifestyle. Many scene kids incorperate their future plans into their lifestyle, going into careers such as journalism, photography, artistry, piercing, tattooing, working for magazines, being musicians, hairstylists, running venues and/or coffee shops, etc. This tends to cause scene kids to congregate, visit, or even move to big cities to find opportunities to meet other scenesters, find jobs that suit them, or to live where they have a plethora of activities that they enjoy readily at their disposal.
Recently internet revolutions like myspace.com have provided a new means for the ideas of scene culture to be spead, for scenesters to find new friends, bands, and activities. Scensters design stylish and graphic profile pages to both draw attention to themselves and to find others like them, and many people have joined up with the scene fad due to internet advertising.
The downside of many scene atmospheres is that some scene kids tend to develop a superior mentality. Some who are especially popular and affluent can make it harder for the younger, yet-aspiring scenesters to join in with the subculture. This is not always the case, however. Different areas breed different demographics of scene kids. Perhaps part of their attitude comes from the problem that scenesters have begun to feel threatened about their culture being jeopardized because of a sort of trickle down effect. The internet is permitting easy access for anyone who would want to don scene-esque style and jump right in to a culture that scenesters feel they have built from the ground up and developed into a complex lifestyle. However, this lends many to get caught up in popularity contests in local areas as well as on the world wide web. Unfortunately, this can also lead to rifts in scenes. Groups of hardcore scenesters start "crews," often characterized by fierce brotherhood to the point of violence against others who are unlike them or who are in other crews.
The scene is dividing amongst itself, due to purists who feel the scene is about music only, and those who have taken the scene fashion to be almost, if not equally, as important as the music itself. Some of the fashionable scenesters stick to their musical roots, but often due to the aforementioned trickle-down effect, there are people joining the scene who are not interested in the music, but are only in it for the attention.
Thus, the scene will continue to divide. Whether they will admit it or not, kids interested in this lifestyle of excitement, concerts, body modification, fashion, and overall alluringly unusual aesthetics will continually be labeled as "scene." They chose an alternative path because they wanted to find acceptance elsewhere. Now, they face a community just like any other: one of all different types of people, who have different opinions and standards. It has its pros and cons, ups and downs, just like any lifestyle does.
"Those kids are not scene."
"Check out that scene kid's hair!"
"I'm surprised the hardcore scene has become so big."
"I'm not dressed very scene today."
"Every scene kid seems to be getting this piercing!"

First and foremost, your AIM/MSN screen name should be some rad song title and/or lyric. Remember, the more x's you have in it, the more scene you are.
Next, go buy yourself some girl's jeans. Face it, the tighter your jeans are, the more scene you will be, and the more the hardcore kids will hate you for it. Try on a pair of jeans and find that you're a perfect woman's 2? Buy a woman's 0 and suck it in.
After you buy your jeans, go straight to Hot Topic and buy every single band shirt they have. Even if you've never listened to the band, or worse, never head of them either. If people ask you about them, just say you like the "old stuff" and no one will ever know that you actually hate Norma Jean. Never buy anything larger than a Youth Medium. Ever.
Dont forget to pick up a white leather belt on your way out!
So, now you're dressed pretty scene, but how's your hair? Is it dyed black? Maybe with some bleach-blonde streaks? Do your bangs cover one of your eyes? If you answered no to any of these, shut up, grab a pair of scissors, and chop away. Never go and get your hair done, ALWAYS do it yourself.
Good job. Now your hair is the sex. But, your look won't get you anywhere if you dont know how to dance. And by dance, I mean beat the crap out of people. First of all, you need to make sure you claim your space in the pit. As the band starts, push everyone back and scream something obscene. Then you need to start to pace the pit just so everyone knows that you can move in your pants. Pacing the pit involves doing a half walk-half skip across the room, while looking downwards and shaking your head. But dont mess up your hair.
Then, when the time is right trust me, you'll know when throw your arm back and hopefully, you'll hit someone in the face.
5 scene points if his nose bleeds.
Begin two-stepping. If you dont know how to two-step, you might as well leave and go practice in your living room in front of a mirror until you get it. Add some sweet floor-punches and a couple spin-kicks into the crowd, and you're set. Now for the pile up! As everyone runs up to the stage, make sure you go last so you can be that cool kid on top of the pile. If you dont know the words to the song, fake it, and hope that its just screaming.
Your job is done.
Stand in the middle of the floor, with your arms crossed and survey the scene.
Good job scene. Good job.
So you're offically labeled bunshole now that you've given a couple of people black eyes. That's ok, it's the point.
Now that you're back home, go straight for your computer and immediately check your myspace. Get really pissed off when you dont have any friend requests, and get even more pissed off when no one has left you a comment in the 6 hours you werent home. Figure its because you havent updated your pictures in a couple of weeks and go take some more. Take about 80, but use the 2 most flattering ones. Remember, the more skin you show, or if you're sitting on the toilet, the more comments you will get.
Go outside and have a cig break and redraw the black X's on your hands. Afterall, you ARE straightedge. Everyone KNOWS cigs dont count!
Look up at the stars, sigh, and thank god that you're not emo.
Even though you really are.

Scene Kid 2: No! I'm scene! And I'm far more unique than you! I suggest you give me back my haircut before I am forced to write a blog on myspace about how angry you have made me!

So you're okay with a player getting a broken arm? You're okay with a leg? You're okay with breaking their nose? You're okay with breaking any bone in their body if they still have the ability to get up?
A player can't continue to play if you break his arm. I thought I made that clear. Nobody is out to seriously injure anybody, but that doesn't mean you can't inflict some pain and make him think twice about getting into the lane again.
You sound like the 30 year grown man beating up on a 12 year old. Trying to equate a regular foul with intentionally hurting someone is absurd.
You can hand someone a hard foul without putting their life in danger. And yes, I do mean in danger.
TJ Ford could have easily become paralyzed or even died with the falls he has taken. But those are all good since he had the abilty to get back up. What a joke.
People have the ability to get up with a broken arm."I consider a foul to be over the line when the other guy is physically incapable of getting up. A good body-check at the rim is perfectly acceptable if you want to send a message."
Yeah, because there are so many 12 year olds in the NBA!
And besides, one play can result in someone popping right back up or it can result in a broken neck. How do you protect players from the broken neck if you encourage putting them on the floor?
Should we also ban tackling in football because players run the risk of spinal injury?
You sound like an overprotective mother cringing every time her little boy takes a fall.
"He needs to learn to be a man" as he takes another swing at the kid. That's what you SOUND like.
[QUOTE=Kstat;1282536]You tell them to not play basketball for a living. It's a contact spot. There's a certain amount of risk that comes with the game. You can blow out your knee without even touching someone./QUOTE]
I understand that. That doesn't justify adding MORE risk to the situation.
Notice that they have the ability to judge between a "good" hit and a "bad" one. It's not a field day on how you want to hit people.
Knocking someone to the ground every now and then is fine, as long as you aren't up-ending people. Hardwood floors are pretty forgiving.
As I said before, nobody ever got seriously injured against the bad boys due to their physical play. Never happened. They wrote the book on good, hard fouls. I don't need to make the argument about added risk, because it's already been made for me.
As many hundreds of times as they punished people at the rim, nothing serious ever resulted. That makes a better case than anything I can say.
Notice the NBA has the same thing. It's called the flagrant foul.Notice that they have the ability to judge between a "good" hit and a "bad" one. It's not a field day on how you want to hit people.

As someone who deals with chronic lower back pain every single day, I can tell you exactly how unforgiving they actually are.
I've landed on plenty of hardwood floors and plenty of solid concrete. Give me the former any day of the week.
The league has changed their attitude towards the hits, thankfully. You, have not.
At some point, the odds become so great they are irrelevant.
Odds don't stack up against each other. They're independent.
Just because you were hit and didn't get hurt doesn't mean you're never going to get hurt. But that is the argument you tried making.
Because the Bad Boys didn't seriously injure anyone doesn't mean that using their tactics will never injure someone.
Injuries don't care if you were simply having fun or if you're getting paid. They happen regardless.

Program mixes academics with real-world training
October 9, 2012
Surrounded by three other South Tahoe High School students, junior Brayan Latero focused on cutting a car brake while juniors Becca Wesson and Donovan Robins leaned over the engine compartment of an old Nissan. With cars elevated on jack stands and the sound of a motorized drill, the facility looks more like a mechanic's auto repair shop than a classroom. In fact, it's a little bit of both.
The class is part of the high school's Career Technical Education curriculum, a multiyear program that integrates core academics with technical and vocational knowledge to help students get into college or directly into a post-high school career.
"It started a few years ago when the state of California realized that this would be for some of the kids the last stop for a formal education. So it's a way to get kids to look at careers early. We're in the process of changing the school into a CTE school," STHS Visual and Performing Arts Department Chairman Bob Grant said.
There's a culinary arts program, dental hygienist training, digital photography and media classes, carpentry workshops and more. Construction continues on the Sports Medicine Academy, and when the building is complete, students will be able to focus on physical therapy and pre-med education.
Grant, who works in the new Tahoe Arts and Design Academy at the high school, said the school's expanded facilities have strengthened the CTE curriculum. There have always been digital media programs at the school, but with almost $100 million from Measure G funds invested in new infrastructure throughout the district, the students really respect the classes, Grant said.
Each year, Grant takes his students to Hollywood to visit successful STHS alumni who are now working in Los Angeles as writers, directors, photographers or producers.
Recommended Stories For You
One of the former students Grant often visits is Mat Lucas. Lucas began the CTE program as a freshman, and by the next year, he was the director of the morning news show.
He moved to Los Angeles in 2001 with a degree in film production and communications from Sacramento State and eventually went after a master's degree in film editing from the American Film Institute. He's worked for ESPN, Fox News, Warner Brothers' Television Network and is the current writer, producer and editor – preditor, if you will – at the CW Television Network. He also owns his own production company, and shoots and produces his own commercials, music videos and promos.
And he credits the STHS program with his success.
"From STHS, I learned that I had the talent for this industry, and I learned how I could apply myself to pursue a career. I have always been one of the youngest people in the jobs I've had over the years, and it's because I was trained at a young age. Most of my colleagues waited until after college to learn what I learned in high school," Lucas wrote in an email.
For automotive instructor Mike Patterson, his elective class can launch students straight into a Tahoe career. The auto shop education might mean the difference between staying in the basin and having to leave to find work elsewhere, he said.
"A lot of the snowcat technicians have gone through my program. It sets them up to go to a community college or trade school, but if they spend four years with us, they're pretty ready to work," Patterson said.
"It's a career our students can get into to make a good living, and if they chose to stay in Tahoe, they certainly can do that with the wages they'll make," he said.
Latero said he has no idea what he wants to do after he leaves the high school. In the meantime though, working with the cars is both interesting and useful.
"It's pretty fun. You get to work with and learn about cars. It's not boring like some other classes," he said.
Lake Tahoe Unified School District Superintendent James Tarwater said putting fun back into education is one of the goals of CTE. It's also a new model for students who either don't want or can't afford to pay for a college education.
"We get so focused on college-bound or nothing. Now we have a smorgasbord. I know some kids who just get hooked. It's putting excitement back into education," Tarwater said.

Big Lots to close Federal Way store
Discount retailer Big Lots will close its Federal Way store.
Located at 1211 S. 320th St. next to Safeway, the department store will close April 15 due to not being able to work out a leasing deal for the property, according to corporate spokeswoman Toni Fink.
"They are in search of finding a new location in Federal Way," Fink told The Mirror. "They've been out and they've been looking. It's a matter of finding that right piece of property."
Merlone Geier Partners has owned the store's current site since 2011, said Jim Alexander, the firm's vice president. He declined comment on the dealings with Big Lots, but said he wasn't aware the Federal Way store was closing.
Neither the Big Lots spokeswoman nor the store manager could provide details on the number of employees at the Federal Way location.
Big Lots is a Fortune 500 company known for selling overstock and closeout merchandise as well as furniture. According to the corporate website, there are roughly 1,415 stores nationwide with an annual per-store sales average of $3.5 million. The company claimed 37,400 employees in January 2012, which would mean an average of 26 employees per store.
Patrick Doherty, director of economic development for Federal Way, provided the following statement to The Mirror regarding Big Lots:
Given that the apparent issue here is the inability of Big Lots to negotiate a renewed lease with the property owner, the city was not included in those negotiations, for obvious reasons. As for Big Lots' search for a new location, our website offers an updated commercial building/site locator that any party can access and search for available locations on a customized basis – in addition to the efforts that presumably their commercial real estate broker or agent is conducting on their behalf. City staff can make themselves available on a moment's notice to assist their effort to find a new home in Federal Way, recognizing that the commercial real estate brokers/agents will likely have more ready access to the commercial real estate marketplace than we may have.

Contributing to the weird timing was the fact that they clinched the tie on a off day because other teams lost.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It is an accomplishment, no doubt about it. Maybe they should have cut the nets down before the game?
I'm still not sure how I feel about giving this team a separate Big Ten banner. But Dakich sent chills up my spine last night talking again about that '83 team, which really was going to be special if Kitchell didn't get hurt.

'Brain Coach' to help Sounders achieve their goals
SEATTLE -- Playing any sport at all requires a lot of practice. There are drills and weightlifting, practices and scrimmages.
But a Seattle native said it's the 5 inches between your ears that's just as important as your arms or legs on the field.
Success at any sport is much more than physical conditioning. Just ask Seattle Sounders Midfielder, Lamar Neagle.
"I have confidence issues on the field," he said.
Neagle said he had been traded so often, he lost confidence in his abilities. Then he started working with Jim Madrid.
Madrid, speaking at one his seminars, explained, "By the way, the brain is a muscle and you need to exercise it. Training the mind is just as important as training the body."
Neagle says he was something he definitely had to work on a lot more than my physical game. "For me I think my mental game is huge for me."
Madrid works not just with Neagle, but the entire Sounders team, on the mental side of the game.
"You can be the best athlete in the world and if you don't have the mental toughness -- the mental side of the game they say is 90 percent," said Sounders goalie Marcus Hahnemann. "You're talking about thing you can't really quantify."
So Madrid works with them on their vision and goal setting to build mental toughness and have it translate to real results on the field.
"Sounders player Brad Evans plays with his goals in his sock," Madrid said. "And Will Blackman with the Jacksonville Jaguars; I called him up after a great game that he had. He got two interceptions, he caused a fumble, picked the ball up and ran in for a touchdown. And he said, 'they're in my sock.' And I said, 'what?' (and) he said, 'my goals, they're in my sock.' "
Madrid said Blackman had literally written out his goals of causing a fumble, running in for a touchdown and getting an interception and tucked it away.
Seeing so much success with both professional and college athletes, Madrid started focusing his attention on kids. There are 44 million children who play organized sports -- it's a $7 billion a year industry.
"It drives me nuts when I hear coaches, you know, from the sideline, say, 'Get your head in the game,' " said Rick Brown. "And I ask myself, 'how are you teaching that?' "
Brown, a coach, dad and member of Madrid's team said they're building that foundation as young as kindergarten. And he said they work with coaches too, to make sure they know how to help kids achieve mental toughness.
"We've just had resounding results," said Diana Bowers.
Bower shelped get Madrid to present his program on the Eastside back in January. They hoped to have 20 kids sign up -- they finally had to cap it at 40.
All three of Bowers' children completed the course. She said she noticed a change in her children right away and she said other parents have too.
"It was immediate," she said. "I got so many comments not just from my kids but I got so many mails from parents telling me that their kids came home and said thank you so much for enrolling us in this program. And keep in mind these are kids from the ages of 10-, 11-, 12-year-olds."
So what are these kids learning that have them making their beds, cleaning their rooms and doing their homework, all without any nagging?
Madrid teaches 7 Fundamentals of Mental Toughness:
* Vision Drives Performance
* Open Your Eyes, Open Your Mind
* Broad Comfort Zones = Room to Move
* What You Say is What You Get
* Goals Keep You Growing
* Keeping Cool Mean Controlling Focus
* Teamwork Wins
"It works," Brown said. "It creates great change. It creates great change in school and with scholar athletes."
Madrid said, "You get to invent your future, because if you don't somebody else will."
Madrid's goal is to take his program to 500,000 kids across the country and he says he believes it can really make a difference. For instance, Madrid said there are 4,400 juvenile offense committed every day; that's 183 per minute and 30 percent of those happen after school.
Madrid said sports can help prevent some of those, so his mission continues to give kids the mental skills and life skills that will impact their lives forever on and off the field of play.
When asked the cost of giving this knowledge and power to kids, Madrid said the cost is only about as much a parent would spend on a really good pair of shoes or a great bat and glove.

If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
If yu have just seen the pictures and not the game you can see why we were all so scared at first.
What program can I use to view the .mp2 file?
"I'll always be a part of Donnie Walsh."
-Ron Artest, Denver Post, 12.28.05
hmmm I use windows media player. What version do you have?
I errased the ".mp2.mp3" nonsense at the end and replaced it with just ".mpg" and then windows media player accepted it. I couldn't skip around, but it would play from start to finish.
While I'm here, on the 4th quarter of the Memphis game that's up now....Does it cut out with about 30 seconds to go, or did my download just not complete?
The file is loaded as an MP3, thats probably the problem...
I recorded the entire thing. I used it to get those screen grabs of the last play and of Jermaine talking to Slick after the game.
I uploaded the raw unencoded mp2 so that people who had not seen the game could at least see the 4th quarter right away. I am encoding the entire game right now and I will upload it before I get back to uploading the other games (mavs/Suns) that I have not gotten uploaded.
Able do you get the entire 4th on your end?
I am still playing arround with the capture settings. I think the ones I used for the first game I recorded is the best. Although it is the biggest and takes the longest to get uploaded.
I am doing a quick encode of the last two minutes and will upload that in a little bit.
I've downloaded the file, Ragnar. However, it just seems to be a sound file - no video. How do I change this?
I appreciate the help.
Nevermind - got it working. Thanks - some scary stuff.
I can't get it to work. I changed it to .mpg, but it won't play in Winamp or WMP10.
Yeah, I can't get it to work on WMP or nothing.
I dont know what to tell you. Maybe update your windows media player. They are up to wmp 10 now if you are still on 7 or 8 it may not work.
I am using WMP10, and I have the K-Lite codec pack (has all the most commonly used codec packs). And it still doesn't work. Doesn't work on WMP10 or Winamp.
copy the file from wherever it is to :my computer: C:\Originally Posted by Dr Huxtable
Start: Programs:Accesories:command prompt

now try playing it
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Can you please convert it to .avi or something?
How do I delete this huge file after it has downloaded to my PC? It was supposed to save to my desktop, but I don't see a shortcut on it for it. I'd like to get rid of the 52.4 MB if I can. Help, able!
The scenes from Fox Sports MidWest showed everything better, but I did not TIVO the game.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
We need someone with a Tivo to record the games and transfer them to a computer to encode and upload. I am using a computer and I am not happy with the quality at all.
Here's a .wmv file. The quality isn't good, but the file is small.
David Harrison
"The quality isn't good" - then you slip that picture in at the end.
Channel Four certainly had a better look than FSS on that play. Ouch.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
Damn! That looked bad for David! Amazing he got to the bench! I had to laugh when I saw Carlisle's "Grumpy" facial expression immediately after the memphis score (he says "COME ON!" after that part).
And oh yeah, the ending of this file ... "legendary" ;

Now that David Harrison has received a concussion from a foul that was never called, do you think the refs might start giving him a little more respect in regards to fouls? Can you call it incidental contact when one guy elbows another guy in the face? They have to know what happened, and they must talk to each other about this sort of thing.
Dahntay Jones (I think it was him) did exactly what you are taught and are supposed to do. He went up strong and through the defensive player.
Harrison is a hoss. Damn.
Was that contact in the no charge zone btw?

Should the widow of an off-duty Marin County sheriff's deputy slain while on leave in Petaluma last year be given a premium "service-connected" pension even though he wasn't on the job?
Pension trustees will meet Wednesday to reflect as attorneys on both sides of the issue publicly debate whether Cynthia Mathiesen, widow of 49-year-old sheriff's deputy Jim Mathiesen, is entitled to service-connected survivor benefits.
The stakes are big for the grieving widow, whose husband, a beloved, nine-year veteran assigned to the jail, was murdered a year ago by the ex-boyfriend of a friend.
Cynthia Mathiesen now receives a taxable survivor's pension of about $16,000 a year, but if the board determines the deputy was killed in the line of duty, the pension will jump to about $50,000 a year tax-free.
"You may be eligible for a service-connected disability if you can prove a real and measurable relationship between your disability and your employment," according to a pension application form.
The pension panel, with two members absent, considered the case behind closed doors last month, voting 5-2 to approve a service-connected pension. Two county employees who serve on the panel, county finance chief Roy Given and board president Maya Gladstern, dissented.
After an Independent Journal inquiry about the propriety of holding a closed session on a matter of public interest involving legal arguments — rather than a personnel matter involving medical issues — officials scrubbed the vote and will reconsider the matter in public at 9 a.m. Wednesday at pension headquarters, 1 McInnis Parkway.
Looking back, the application "should not have been considered by the board in closed session" under the Ralph M. Brown Act because a death benefit determination does not "affect a public employee's employment status," according to Ashley K. Dunning, a board lawyer present at the closed meeting.
The pension board chooses to meet privately on disability applications, citing a 2005 attorney general's interpretation of the Brown Act. The panel, which does not disclose information about ailments enabling disability benefits for employees, never has considered a survivor's death benefit case similar to Cynthia Mathiesen's.
Deputy Mathiesen was killed July 19, 2011 in an off-duty confrontation when he came to the aid of a friend in Petaluma, counseling her about an ex-boyfriend, Thomas Halloran of Novato. The 28-year-old Halloran, a former jail inmate who knew Mathiesen, appeared at the home and gunned down the deputy when he came outside. Halloran was then shot to death by the woman's brother.
Attorney Craig Dykman of San Rafael represents Cynthia Mathiesen, and Patrick Richardson, a county lawyer, represents the Marin County Employees Retirement Association, but not the pension board, in the case. Because the matter will be reconsidered in open session, documents filed by the two were made public.
Sheriff's Lt. Scott Anderson, responding to written questions posed by a pension official, wrote that deputy Mathiesen, who "only performed the duties related to the jail assignment," was not fulfilling sheriff department requirements for responding to calls for assistance from civilians, and was not acting on behalf of either the county or the department.
"Deputy Mathiesen was off duty as the time of the incident. ... At the time of his death Deputy Mathiesen was on paid leave due to an industrial injury, and had been informed that until he obtained medical clearance he could not perform the duties of a deputy sheriff," Lt. Andersen reported.
But a legal brief filed by Dykman argued that medical leave for an eye injury "did not suspend his peace officer status" under state code, which he said compels approval of disability benefits for Cyntha Mathiesen. Gov. Code 50921 says that any peace officer who who is injured or dies "by reason of engaging in the apprehension or attempted apprehension of law violators or suspected law violators or protection or preservation of life of property, or the preservation of the peace anywhere in this state ... but is not at the time acting under the immediate direction of his or her employers, he, she or his or her dependents shall be accorded by his or her employer all the same benefits including the benefits of the workers' compensation law, which he, she or they would have received had that peace officer been acting under the immediate direction of his or her employer."
Mathiesen had reason to believe a crime was underway and that he was in imminent danger, along with others, and was thus authorized to act as a safety officer under law, Dykman asserted, adding it makes no difference that the deputy was off duty, on leave, out of uniform and out of Marin.
But Richardson disagreed, citing Lt. Anderson's assertion that the deputy was off duty and on a leave of absence under which he was told he could not perform a deputy sheriff's duties. "Mathiesen was not acting within the course and scope of his employment at the time of his death," Richardson argued.
Further, there is nothing to indicate the deputy was acting as a peace officer when he went out of the house unarmed to investigate a driveway alarm and was shot, Richardson said, adding he violated sheriff protocol by failing to call for backup and "was intoxicated at the time of his death," with a blood alcohol level of 0.076 percent. "Mathiesen would have been subject to discipline if he were found to be on duty" at the time, the attorney added.
Dykman called the alcohol situation irrelevant, saying state code favors providing benefits to peace officers unless there are overriding circumstances. "No such circumstances exist in this case," he added.
