Current and ongoing research projects:
Analysis of stylization through extreme variation
My dissertation uncovers the nature of "everyday" speech. In it, I analyze two weeks worth of self-recordings conducted by one young California female speaker as she goes about her everyday life. Focusing in the sociophonetic domain for now, I assess the entirety of this individual's speech production over this time, looking for evidence of systematicity and stylization. Labov (1972) has said that "the grammar of a speech community is more regular than the behavior of the individual" (p. 109). For several generations now, I and other variationists have taken this assumption to heart, conducting large-scale community studies aimed at understanding and documenting the systematicity of language in broad strokes. While the field has benefitted tremendously from these efforts, I think we are now at a point in time technologically and analytically where we can and should test the assumption that individuals are less systematic than communities. To what extent is the speech of the individual systematic? Is there actual evidence of a "vernacular" speech style if we have all the data from a speaker's everyday production? And, if a vernacular can be documented, what about deviations from it? Can stylistic variation be traced to extreme tokens outside of the vernacular "baseline"? How systematic is stylization anyway? My dissertation continues what my second qualifying paper started. Based on the observation that stylistic variation often occurs on the extreme edges of a speaker's normal repertoire, I am developing quantitative methodologies for identifying moments of stylization in the everyday idiolects of speakers. A pilot phase of this study examined a prototypical jock and a burnout from Penny Eckert's famous Detroit-area ethnographic study (presented at NWAV 42). In my qualifying paper, I conducted distribution analysis on the vowel productions of speakers from the Voices of California corpus, which I presented at the 2015 LSA annual meeting. Now, I am using a large amount of data from one speaker to search for not only stylization but also the existence of a vernacular "baseline." Two studies with these data are slated to be presented at the upcoming NWAV 45 and the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America. So stay tuned.
Acoustic analysis of Nisei style in the Japanese American community of Livingston, California:
Together with Annette D'Onofrio, I am investigating the speech of Japanese Americans from a long-standing central California community. In particular, we are looking at the vowel production of speakers who identify as Nisei, or second-generation Japanese Americans. As young adults, the Nisei were held in internment camps during World War II, and are purported to have developed a distinctive speaking style. The question of whether this was an intermittent style or a full-fledged ethnic variety has yet to be examined quantitatively. Importantly, the Nisei are native speakers of English, knowing little to no Japanese. Thus, whatever features may characterize this style cannot be attributed to Japanese interference. In our first study on the variety, which we presented at NWAV 44, we acoustically analyze relative monophthongization of the FACE and GOAT vowels for these speakers, comparing them with White speakers from a neighboring community. We find significant differences between ethnicities but also between genders, suggesting these features are indeed socially conditioned for this generation. In future work, we will do cross-generational comparisons to see if these features persist, as well to explore other features that may compose the style.
Acoustic analysis of vowels in inland California :
Together with Annette D'Onofrio and Teresa Pratt, I am investigating the incremental nature of the California Vowel Shift (CVS) across California, particularly in four inland cities (Merced, Redding, Bakersfield, and Sacramento). While the shift has been theorized to occur as a push-chain stimulated by the LOT-THOUGHT merger, findings have been mixed as to which vowels are actually moving and where. Until the Voices of California project, there has been no large-scale dialectology study in California, so we have a unique opportunity to examine these dynamics closely and broadly. In previous work, we documented the retraction of TRAP across the state, and illustrated the shifting of all the front vowels (not just the lax vowels) in the system. Now, we are looking at the entire vowel space, using a sociologically-motivated generation analysis to better understand when different parts of the shift were actuated. Our findings suggest that there is an overall front-back compression of the vowel space, actuated much earlier than previously thought. Importantly, these findings are not necessarily consistent with a chain shift. We are slated to present this study at the upcoming meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in January 2017.
Acoustic analysis of sibilants in inland California:
Together with Rob Podesva, I am analyzing the sibilant /s/ in the speech of white speakers from Redding, California in particular, but also from Merced and Bakersfield, California. Not only are we attempting to refine acoustic measurement methodology for these consonants, but we are also seeking to ascertain how these features are used by speakers with "country" orientation vis-à-vis those with "town" orientation, as well as considering the other social factors of sex, age, and education. An important focus of our work is how these country/town identities intersect with sexuality and gender identity. In two recent papers, we lay out our findings thus far. We are currently preparing an additional manuscript that outlines the complex array of linguistic factors that structure this variation as well.
Acoustic analysis of the low-back vowels in inland California :
Together with Annette D'Onofrio, Penny Eckert, Rob Podesva, and Teresa Pratt, I have investigated the character and dynamics of the low/back vowels TRAP, LOT, and THOUGHT in inland, non-urban California English. While the low-back merger has long been considered to be a flagship feature of California speech, the exact character of the merger is up for debate. Additionally, with TRAP-retraction (backing and lowering) occurring for California speakers who participate in the California Vowel Shift (CVS), there is some question as to which vowel results as the lowest in the vowel space. In a recent panel at the 2015 American Dialect Society annual meeting, and in a forthcoming volume on Voices of the West (Publication of the American Dialect Society), we show how low vowel shifting and configuration patterns vary across California, between the coast and the Central Valley, and then again between the North Central Valley and the South Central Valley.
Longitudinal morphosyntactic analysis of African American English:
Handout for Coding and Transcription Protocols for DDM analysis
For several years now, much of my research focus has been analyzing the development of African American English (AAE) in the speech of children. The data come from a longitudinal corpus housed in the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute. Independently, and in partnership with Walt Wolfram, my work has focused largely on conducting morphosyntactic analysis of variation in the speech of children over the early lifespan. Primarily, I have used a Dialect Density Measure (DDM) to count the relative number of AAE features per utterance of speech, as a means of operationalizing "vernacularity" for these speakers at different points in the lifespan. Using the DDM as a variable in regression analysis has been useful in associating the use of AAE with other social measures such as academic achievement, mental health, ethnic identity, demographic information, and more. In addition, I've conducted dyadic analysis between the children and their peers' speech, to appear in a forthcoming article. Recently our team has successfully collected post-high school interviews with the 60+ speakers remaining in the sample, adding another time point to the longitudinal analysis. After presenting in the so-called "PANEL panel" at this past Methods in Dialectology XV conference, Walt Wolfram and I are contributing a chapter to a special volume on the topic, to be published in 2015.
Analysis of tense/aspect in African American English:
In addition to morphosyntactic analysis, the Frank Porter Graham corpus of longitudinal African American English lends itself nicely to other analyses as well. For Charlie Farrington and me, it's a great place to examine the development and use of tense/aspect features particular to AAE. At this point, we are working primarily with aspectual be, which is difficult to study in a traditional variationist paradigm. At the 2014 LSA meeting, we presented a construction- and semantic-based analysis of aspectual be using the FPG corpus. Our work was then picked up by Brit Peterson for a piece in The Boston Globe's The Word column ("Linguists are like, 'Get used to it!': Why a new way to quote people has taken English by storm"). Even better, that article was subsequently iconized by Randall Munroe in an xkcd comic!
Acoustic analysis of consonantal variation in ethnic American Englishes:
I've also long been concerned with how ethnic identity is manifest in phonetic production, particularly in lesser-studied features such as consonants. Particularly, I've examined the consonant /l/ in two ethnic communities: African Americans from central North Carolina and Mexican Americans from Southern Texas. I've been primarily concerned with refining measurement methodology for /l/ as well as examining what, if any, change this feature is exhibiting over apparent time in these communities, and examining neighboring European American communities as well to see the extent to which the feature is parallel, divergent, or convergent over time. Particularly with the African Americans my apparent time approach has been longitudinally extensive, including the analysis of ex-slave recordings in addition to living speakers. In addition to /l/, for the Mexican Americans, Erik Thomas and I have investigated these patterns in other relevant consonants, including /r/, VOT, and /ð/. Thus far, this work has shown how consonantal variation can be powerfully indicative of ethnic identity and changing perspectives in communities over time. To this end, Erik Thomas and I have written a chapter on consonantal variation in Chicano English, to appear in a forthcoming volume on Latino English (also edited by Erik Thomas).
Acoustic analysis of voice-onset time in Korean stops:
Together with Rob Podesva, Annette D'Onofrio, Jeremy Calder, Eric Acton, Hsin-Chang Chen, Sam Bowman and Benjamin Lokshin, we are investigating the effects of linguistic and social factors on phoneme categorization of Seoul Korean stops. We are seeking to see where and how acoustical manipulation of voice-onset time (VOT) for Korean stops affects the perceptual determination of either lenis or aspirated stops. So far, our experiments with 30 native speakers of Seoul Korean, all of whom listened 10 speakers' productions of /CVn/ tokens which had been manipulated incrementally for voice-onset time, show that the listeners are significantly likely to use social factors as well as phonetic cues to categorize stops as either lenis or aspirated, to differing degrees. Therefore, it so far appears as though social information is as important as phonetic information in perception for these features.
Syntactic structure of the Lithuanian and Kazakh noun phrases:
For my first qualifying paper, I focused on the syntactic structure of the Lithuanian noun phrase. Specifically, I investigated how the movement and extraction properties of prenominal elements in the noun phrase may or may not be direct extraction, or copy/movement with variable PF interpretation. Some linguists of Slavic languages have posited a link between a language's possession of definite articles and the inability to extract prenominal elements in that language. Lithuanian shares a lot of similar properties to Slavic languages, including the ability to extract prenominal elements. However, Lithuanian differs from most Slavic languages in that it has a definiteness marker. With this paper I was able to show that extraction phenomena in Lithuanian have little or nothing to do with the existence of a DP, but rather have everything to do with contrastive marking on elements of the noun phrase. My superivising committee for this project were Vera Gribanova, Tom Wasow, and Penny Eckert. I've added to this research by investigating similar phenomena in Kazakh noun phrase, which has extended into an in-depth analysis of the Izafet construction and regular possessive constructions in Kazakh noun phrases.
English as a world language:
Not only is English's power, for better or for worse, clearly evident in the legacy of British colonization worldwide, but in the last centuries, we've seen English emerging as a lingua franca even in countries with no colonial connection to the language. And, in some cases, it is no longer a lingua franca as much as it has become an alternative national language. To what extent is koineization occuring in such places, where English is no longer spoken as a foreign language/lingua franca, but is instead exhibiting systematic features and variation characteristic of these speakers and their heritage languages? Particularly as it is manifest in the European context, this question has fascinated me for several years now. My work on the English spoken by Lithuanian learners is an attempt to see how and when this systematization occurs, if at all, and what underlying interactions with the native language affects the process.

* Gazprom to reorganise Berlin operations
* Handelsblatt reports 100 job cuts out of 230 at unit
* Wholesaler Wingas could also be affected (Adds details, reference to Wingas, context)
By Vera Eckert
FRANKFURT/MOSCOW, March 29 (Reuters) - Gazprom Germania, the Berlin-based subsidiary of Russian gas giant Gazprom, will reduce its staff in Germany as it restructures operations, Gazprom officials said on Wednesday.
Gazprom Germania, which has annual sales of 17 billion euros ($18.3 billion) and oversight of about 50 other Gazprom units across 20 countries, would seek to complete staff lay-offs by the end of 2017, a spokesman for the German unit said.
He did not say how many posts would go, but Handelsblatt business daily reported about 100 of its 230 staff would be laid off. It also reported that Gazprom's German wholesale trader Wingas would be affected by the reorganisation.
The Gazprom Germania spokesman said lay-offs would be handled in close coordination with the works council.
The number of Gazprom subsidiaries has increased rapidly in the past two decades or more. But Gazprom, which supplies a third of Europe's natural gas needs, is now facing more competition from other suppliers.
This includes rising imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) which compete with Russian pipelines, driving down prices for consumers. The price of gas for 2018 at Germany's NCG trading point has fallen by a quarter over the past two years.
Russian businesses have also been grappling with European Union sanctions imposed over the conflict with Ukraine over Crimea.
"Our priority is to create synergies and reduce parallel structures," a Gazprom spokesman in Moscow said of the reorganisation at the German operation, without giving details.
A spokesman for Wingas said the unit was being integrated more closely into the Gazprom group, without elaborating.
Wingas, which employs 400 at its Kassel headquarters, came under Gazprom's full ownership in 2015 in an asset swap with former joint-venture partner, chemicals firm BASF.
Last month, Wingas announced a transfer from May of its commercial activities in Britain to Gazprom Energy, a subsidiary of London wholesaler Gazprom Marketing and Trading (GMT).
Wingas, which has been operating as a wholesaler since 1990, sells gas to local utilities and industries. It is Germany's second biggest supplier behind Uniper, and larger than its two other main rivals RWE and VNG.

HaHa, glad you guys found the last chapter funny :D The reviews for the humour fics tend to be the best, in my opinion, so thank you guys for that! :) Here's another chapter for you…
Theatres and Slush.
Amy, Rory, River and The Doctor go to the cinema's, they want to see a film, but the Doctor ruins it, they're handcuffed so as the Doctor's not aloud out, so him and River play a little game, they play bogies like game, but then they get chucked out, but The Doctor accidentally tips popcprn all over the people in front.
"Right," the Doctor exasperated, his head popping out from underneath the hexagon-shaped TARDIS console. His tweed was chucked across the TARDIS sofa and his sleeves were scrolled up, when working on The TARIDS it tends to get a little hot. Once he finally propped himself up off the floor and pulled up his braces around his shoulders, he hopped around the console flicking switched willy nilly.
"So are you finished now?" Rory asked with a whining tone, like he had the past ten minutes, continuingly nagging him. River snorted, shaking her head and she walked past Rory to give the Doctor his tweed. He snatched the tweed off her childishly and gave her an 'at-least-I-fixed-it-in-the-end' look. The left side of her lips curled up, making that horrible face that just aggravates him even more. He rolled his eyes and looked at Rory,
"Yep, just had to rewire the circuit into a hot pressed connected frame, because somebody," he eyes glared at River, obviously accusing her, "just had to blow dry their hair for forty five minutes, making the power go out." Amy rolled her eyes,
"Well why didn't you just let River work on the circuit then-" She managed to speak before the Doctor interrupted her,
"Cause it's MY ship," he exclaimed, pointing a finger at River, who was behind him, while still looking at the Ponds, "nobody seems to understand that anymore…" he added on. "OW!" He yelled in pain, turning round on his heels to look at River,
"River you just bit me," he confirmed, raising his finger to his face to look at the bite marks now appearing on his finger, a little bit a red lipstick was visible as well if he looked close enough. 'That better not be hallucinogenic,' the Doctor thought to himself. She pouted in a childlike manner,
"Sweetie, like my mother said, you should have let me work on the circuit and besides, pointing finger is rude, you asked for it," she spoke, then covering her hand over his mouth to stop him from replying,
"It's not my fault you threw the manual into the supernova, doesn't matter now anyway," she realised, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"Anyway, it's my mother's choice to choose next destination," she smiled, loving the fact the Doctor was unable to speak with her hand over his face, no matter how much he struggled against her, he could not break free to speak. Amy grinned, placing a finger on her lips, trying to think of a place they could go.
"What about the movies?" She suggested, looking at everyone for their opinions. Rory and River nodded in agreement, but the Doctor was now properly struggling against River, 'I don't want to go to the movies, I've seen every movie there is to see, what's the point in me going? I'd rather stay here and sort out my fez collection- that's if River hasn't found it yet,' he complained inside his head. He knew that River knew that he hated the theatres, she was from his future she was bound to know, she seems to know everything else. 'Right', he decided in his mind. There was only one way to get his opinion across, and that was for River to get rid of her hand across his face. He was definitely going to regret this, he could just tell. While Amy and Rory were busy discussing which film they wanted to watch, the Doctor took action.
"Ow," River exclaimed, much like the Doctor did earlier. She turned to look at the Doctor, shock appearing on her face.
"You bit me…" She stated, now looking at her red hand, "and this early in your time stream aswell," she gasped. "I'm shocked you had it in you," she added with a smirk, making the Doctor flush red, he straightened his bow tie,
"Yes, well, you left me no choice, and anyway, I'm not early in our time stream, we're married, how early must earlier's early have been if this is still early?" He remarked quietly, turning to look at her confusingly, her face softened and a grin was appearing on her face, he knew what was coming.
"Spoilers," she replied back in a husky attractive way, like she always does. They were both interrupted by a cough from Rory, their heads turned in unison. Amy was smiling, with her legs crossed and arms moving ever so slightly in excitement.
"Err.. We've thought of a movie we'd both like to watch…" Rory announced in a modulated tone, there was a bit of a silence after he spoke, the only noise was the hum of the TARDIS in the background as it floated through the Vortex.
"And," The Doctor asked rather impatiently, he was really hoping for a good film, even though he has seen them all sometimes there were movies that were worth watching again.
"Romeo and Juliet, but the 2012 version," Amy answered cheerily, "me and Rory haven't seen a romantic movie together yet, so we thought we'd-"
"Urgghh," the Doctor groaned, lifting his face to look at the ceiling. "Why that film, I don't understand it, can't we see something more thrilling and adventurous.. Like.. Like.. The Scooby Doo movie or something?" He pleaded; spinning round the TARDIS like a little child, River rolled her eyes,
"Sweetie, it's a lovely film, and besides it was mother's decision to go where she wanted," she stated matter-of-factly. The Doctor hits his head multiple times on the railing,
"River you only like the movie for the guns, and besides, my TARDIS, my plan-y thing-y destination stuff," he lamely used as an excuse. Rory huffed, as if this sort of behaviour were normal with The Doctor, whereas River was giving him a stern glare- unnoticeable to her parents. Amy desperately wanted to see Romeo and Juliet, all her friend had said it was brilliant, and that they cried in the end. An idea popped into Amy's head, it was cruel, but at least he would have to go and watch the movie with them. She walked over to River quickly and whispered her plan to her, River's face lit up as she smirked at her mother's plan, she nodded and started walking round the TARDIS console- neither of the woman wanting to share the secret. River started flipping switches and twisting nozzles, until she typed in coordinates into the keyboard.
"Wh-What are-River! I can drive her!" The Doctor shrieked, hating seeing somebody else drive his 'sexy'. He raced over to her,
"Sweetie, we both know if you driver we'll be somewhere else completely, so I'll drive for this one," she informed him in a silvery tone and a beatific expression.
"Fine, fine, but I'm helping," he made sure that was clear, he stumbled round the TARDIS, "2012 it is. Weird year this one, quite bumpy," he told them, making both Amy and Rory rush over to the railings, taking the hint. The TARDIS started making the familiar humming noise as it rushed through time and space, the cylinder bar in the middle of the console going up and down repeatedly, as always. Like turbulence on a plane, the TARDIS started to shake and move side to side, making The Doctor stomp on River's foot, accidentally of course,
"Sorry honey," he apologised sweetly, it was only straight after that he thought about what he just said, 'honey…What on Earth possessed me to say that?' The thought struck in his mind as he was running around the TARDIS, attempting to land in the right time zone. River seemed to like the little apology, giving him a little butt bump to move him out of the way… The ride really was horrendous, so River, as fast as possible, ran over to the blue button.
"River, no, not the sta-" But it was too late, she click it. The blue button of death. The TARDIS settled down automatically, letting The Doctor gave out a deep breath unimpressed,
"-bilisers," he finished off the word flatly. "What did you do that for, it was getting fun," he accused, moving over to fall on the chair in a huff.
"Have we landed?" Amy asked excitedly, not even waiting for the answer as she dragged Rory by the hand to the doors.
"We'll meet you inside!" River heard Amy shout from outside. River looked at them, or the door- where they had just ran past- blissfully, then turned to her stropping husband,
"C'mon sweetie, if you want we can sit at the back of the cinema, away from my parents," she spoke flirtatiously, giving a sly wink as she walked away towards the door, swaying her hips more than was needed. The Doctor eyes opened drastically as he leaped from his chair to chase River.
Turns out he did get the timing right, which made him stop and raise his hands in the air,
"So why is it when I don't want to go somewhere you get us at the right place, right time, yet when I want to go somewhere we end up on the other end of the universe, or out of it!" He complained, as he walked away from the TARDIS, arm in arm with River. She placed her head on his shoulder, making him feel just that slightly bit uncomfortable, but he's learnt to get used to it.
"Sweetie, stop complaining, it's not very attractive," she affirmed. Her hair started to tickled The Doctor's chin, so he decided to blow it out the way, making River wriggle beside him.
"What are you doing?" She asked suspiciously, not even turning to look at him, but knowing he was up to something anyway. He gulped, realising he was caught,
"Nothing, nothing. It's just your hair! It's all frizzy and big and it tickles," he replied honestly, making her laugh. After finally walking past the cinema car park they were at the front doors, there were posters of all new movies that were to come out soon. Hunger games, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Batman… Trust them to pick Romeo and Juliet out of them all though. Amy turned around to look at them both,
"I'll get the tickets, you get the food yeah," she suggested, making her way into the long cue. The Doctor rolled his eyes and was literally dragged into the cinema lounge with River. They walked over to the counter, waiting in the line.
"Right so, what do you want?" She asked, which was intended to the Doctor but apparently he was elsewhere, she rolled her eyes as she saw him in the pick and mix area, she walked over to him, losing her spot in the cue. As soon as she was behind him he turned around a shoved a gummy worm in her face,
"Look how cool these sweets are River," he exclaimed, putting mouthfuls of sweets into his mouth, she slapped his hand.
"You have to pay for that, sweetie," she expressed, slapped the gummy worm out of his mouth, only for it to make her hands sticky, she grimaced, a face of disgust on her face as she wiped her hands onto the tissues nearby. The Doctor frowned,
"Well, that's not very cool," he acknowledged while being dragged into the queue they were in before. River clapped her hands together,
"Right, so Amy and Rory will probably want large popcorn, what do you want sweetie?" She asked him politely taking a step forward into the queue as it moved along. He looked at the counter and the menu above, there was definitely one thing that caught his eye, he pointed at it eagerly,
"That!" He expressed. It was a half metre long slush drink, with different coloured ice inside; by the looks of it the flavours were blueberry and strawberry. River sighed,
"Sweetie you won't like that, trust me," she disapproved, making him pucker his lips for persuasion.
"Please River!" He begged, pulling at her arm. She sigh once more, a sign of defeat. He jumped up and down in delight, and hugged her quickly,
"Thank you," he said, showing appreciation. She smiled at him back and tucked his fringe behind his ear. The woman at the counter smiled at them both, 'next please' she called out.
"Hello, can I have one large popcorn, and two medium cokes with that, and one of those slushy supreme drinks," she told the woman her order. She nodded and turned around about to get the food and drink before the Doctor tapped her on her arm secretly, while River was getting the money out of her wallet- the Doctor was almost proud of the fact she was not going to steal anything. The woman looked at him strangely, the moved closer toward her making her flinch,
"Do you by any chance sell fish fingers?" He asked innocently; hope appearing across his face- she frowned at him,
"No sir, I don't believe we do," she replied, looking at him strangely, the Doctor lowered his shoulder disappointed. The woman carried on with what she was doing, trying to avoid any eye contact with The Doctor. She placed the food on the counter, and then typed in number and letter into the cash register, the payment appeared on the little screen, it said: £22.00. River handed her the money, a twenty pound note and two pound coins, the woman pressed a button, making a 'ding' noise and the cash register to open. River took the food and drink, giving the Doctor his gigantic drink, which must have been just below her height, it was massive. He looked at it captivated, a bug-eyed expression gleaming from his face as he observed the mixed colours and flavours that were yet to be tasted. To top it all off, there was a bendy red straw which pieced through the hole at the top; even the straw was very large. The Doctor puckered his lips, wanting to have a quick taste, yet River slapped his hands away, he looked at her unhappily,
"Wait till the movie starts, otherwise you'll keep needing the toilet," she warned him, making him roll his eyes.
"Yes mother," he replied a little too loudly, panic struck in his face, so he turned around automatically, closing his eyes tight, knowing full well what he just said. He started to rush along the cinema lounge, trying to get away from River, yet looked back, looking for any signs of the blonde headed woman, not watching where he was going, he knocked himself into a lady. His slushy went everywhere, all up the stranger and her friends, not even a drop on him. Guessing from her facial expressions and stance she did not look to happy. All the red and the blue had mixed into their clothing and hair, they looked a mess. The Doctor's eyes widened, as he raised his hands apologetically,
"S-Sorry, do you want me to…Urm…" He uttered pathetically, trying to think of what to do, a person from behind stepped forward, red all across her face, much like a clown.
"You've got some, erm," he indicated the slush on her face obviously, "red on your face." WACK! The woman had slapped him sharply across the cheek, his face beginning to throb and turned red, in all honesty, it was not that painful, compared to what he's had before.
"Oh, well that didn't hurt at all," he commented, smiling, completely unaware of what he just said. The woman looked at him shocked, all her friends looking at each other and nodding; the Doctor furrowed his eye brows,
"Wha- Why- What's- Why are you shaking your heads?" he asked scared. Luckily for him- or so he thinks- River appeared in the scene, she took one look at the woman and rolled her eyes, as if she expected as much.
"Doctor, I know I said you wouldn't like it, but that doesn't mean you chuck it on strangers." She notified him, making all the woman looked at her baffled, as if to say, 'who's this woman?' The Doctor flailed his arms around,
"I didn't do it on purpose River! They were in the way, and the container is very flimsy, should go to the manager and complain about it," he accused, knowing it was all one big fat lie, and so did all the others, giving him a look. "I'm just too clumsy, it's this regeneration, the legs I were given, they're uncontrollable," he stated, his voice increasing in pitch, making some of the females laugh. The woman at the front, apparently the group leader clicked her fingers,
"C'mon, let's go clean up before the movie begins yeah." She commanded, while giving The Doctor a dirty look. "You better watch yo back man, I ain't gonna forget this," she finished, pointing to her drenched clothing. Her gang and her waltzed off. The Doctor sighed loudly, then realised something was attached to his wrist, he raised his arms,
"RIVER!" He yelled, looking at the handcuffs attached to his and her wrists. "It's always the handcuffs that are the solution to everything. The Daleks: Oh, we'll handcuff them. The Silurians: We'll handcuff them to. Captain Jack: Oh, we'll…." He didn't finish his sentence, a red colour bleeding through his cheeks.
"Want to finish that off sweetie," she asked innocently, with a wide grin. He gulped,
"Never mind," he mumbled under his breath, "but how are we meant to watch the movie now? Did Amy put you up to this? Oh, Rassilion, that's what you were whispering about," he acknowledged, hitting his head with his hand, but in fact hurting River at the same time. She yanked her arm down,
"Yes, mw and mother thought of this together, we knew you'd do something that would cause havoc. So if we're attached," she spoke dangling the chain in front of his face, "then you can't do anything wrong without me there." He groaned,
"I don't have anything to drink now though…." He said, trying to think of petty little excuses to stop him from watching the film. She raised her hand and putting them in her bag, pulling out a miniature slushy of the one he had before, he looked shocked,
"River! How did you- Is that a bigger on the inside bag? That's brilliant. You're like Mary Poppins, but less scary," he stated taking a sip without her noticing.
"Less scary?" She asked curiously, "sweetie, I have you attached to me, and we are going to go into a dark room, and yet you're scared more of Mary Poppins?" She proposed, her eye brow arched, and her hand on her hip. He bit his lip,
"She has a flying umbrella River, that is just- I- No. She is still scarier." He informed. Boy was he wrong.
I know this one wasn't as funny, but somebody requested it for me on Tumblr, so yeah. HaHa. :)

A lot of attention is paid to football players and how big they are. Who is the tallest football player to ever play in the NFL though?
Quite a few players have played in the NFL at the height of 6 feet 9 inches tall including Hall of Famer Bob St. Clair of the San Francisco 49ers, offensive lineman Jonathan Ogden of the Baltimore Ravens, defensive tackle Ernie Ladd from the old AFL, and Ed "Too Tall" Jones of the Dallas Cowboys.
Only one player has played in the NFL at the height of 6 feet 10 inches tall though. Playing tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1969 through 1974 was Morris Stroud who came to the team out of Clark College in Georgia. Over the course of his career, Stroud caught 54 passes for 977 yards and 7 touchdowns.
Though he didn't technically play in the NFL, there was one player even taller than Marcus Stroud. For just 8 games in 1967, the Oakland Raiders of the then American Football League (AFL) had a rookie defensive tackle out of North Carolina Central named Richard Sligh. Sligh stood an amazing, for a football player, 7 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds.

The Value of Intelligence in Love
Ante scriptum: "Which is the value of intelligence in love?" For months I had been trying to give an answer to this dilemma. I rewrote this article three times but, every time, I couldn't find the right words. It is very hard to intelligently speak about love, what to say about intelligently speaking about love while weighting the value of intelligence in the same time. After all, love is an unspeakable feeling, which you cannot describe in words. And then, what should I do? "An image values as 1000 words", it is said.

Medford, OR and Toronto, ON. March 14, 2012
Medford Water Commission has selected Harris Advanced Utility Systems, a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc., to implement its customer information system (CIS) and billing application, CIS Infinity.
Serving over 125,000 in population, Medford Water Commission (MWC) is located in southwest Oregon in Rogue Valley and operates and maintains the water system for the City of Medford and the unincorporated community of White City. MWC provides billing and collections services for water and oversees sewer service, street, parks and public safety fees on behalf of the City of Medford.
MWC will replace its existing custom AS/400-based solution that has been in place for over 25 years. In November 2010, MWC issued its request for proposal in search of a new CIS and billing application for water billing and an integrated Financial Information Solution for its finance department. The utility evaluated vendors through a comprehensive procurement process that included on-site software demonstrations and customer site visits.
Advanceds CIS Infinity was ultimately chosen and will be integrated seamlessly to MWCs Financial and Asset Management solutions. CIS Infinity allows for a more complete integration between systems and facilitates automation across many areas of water billing such as collections, customer relationship management, security and reporting.
MWC is an exciting addition to the Advanced family of customers and is our second water utility customer in the state of Oregon. We are confident CIS Infinity will help enhance day-to-day business processes at MWC to benefit its 28,000 water customers. We look forward to a strong business relationship and successful implementation of CIS Infinity for MWC, states Peter Fanous, Executive Vice President for Advanced.

5 Years of Google Code: Google Doubles Source Code Storage
Five years ago, Google started placing internal projects under a free license and with Google Summer of Code, began its support of the open source scene.
From the quasi-inhouse portal a huge OSS repository has grown, where not only Google, but a multitude of developers worldwide are hosting
their projects. It all began on March 15, 2005 with the URL code.google.com. Since then, the browser giant from Mountain View has published around 800 internal projects on its homepage, including Android, Chromium, parts of Google Wave and numerous APIs.
To celebrate the 5th birthday, Google has treated its subversion server to an update and has also increased source code storage capacity from 1GB to 2GB. In total, Google is currently hosting 240 000 projects. Details to the anniversary can be found in a blog entry from Chris DiBona.

LIRR riders say they'll keep riding rails
Commuters at Penn Station Wednesday said they won't stop taking the train, even in the wake of accusations against a Patchogue man that he funneled information about the Long Island Rail Road to al-Qaida.
Officials issued a warning in November that the LIRR could be targeted following the arrest of Bryant Neal Vinas, 26, the former Long Islander who prosecutors said received military training in Pakistan.
"I think the U.S. is always going to be a target," said Valerie Wieman, 39, of Rockville Centre, whose sister-in-law, Mary Wieman, died in the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center. "I think New York especially is going to be a target. Regardless, I would not stop riding mass transit regularly."
Court papers unsealed Wednesday revealed that Vinas gave al-Qaida operatives information about the city's public transportation network, including the LIRR. Vinas pleaded guilty in January to federal charges of helping al-Qaida and participating in a rocket attack on an American military base in Afghanistan.
Wieman, an auditor in midtown Manhattan, said the news won't change her commuting habits.
"I don't expect that it is going to impact my ridership in the least," she said.
Recalling the 1993 shooting on an LIRR train that killed six dead and injured 19, Wieman said, "Anyone with an intent to kill is going to do it."
Heather Jay, 28, of Long Beach, who takes the train daily to her job as a financial aid officer at Touro College in the Flatiron district in Manhattan, said threats are part of the burden of living in New York.
"There are a lot of crazy people on Long Island," she said. "You put up with the craziness, the rush hour, the traffic. Otherwise, you would leave New York. That's what New York is."
David Williams, 44, of Forest Hills, commutes on an LIRR train and two New Jersey Transit trains each way. "It's a little alarming, but you gotta go to work every day," he said. With Carl MacGowan

Despite the fact that the milestone event is not until July, MMA fans are desperate to know which bouts will feature on the card for UFC 200. Given that McGregor is now one of the biggest stars in the sport there are a good few potential fights for him that a lot of people want to see. From a super fight with Rafael Dos Anjos with the lightweight title on the line to a featherweight championship defence against Frankie Edgar, there are a handful of exciting fights in the future of "The Notorious" Irishman.
However, MMAFighting.com is now citing multiple sources, saying that McGregor's fight at UFC 200 will be a rematch. Not with Jose Aldo, who he beat in 13 seconds to snatch the featherweight championship, but with Nate Diaz. This match comes after McGregor tapped to Nate in the second round of their UFC 196 welterweight bout. In the post fight press conference Dana White told the world that this fight broke every record they have. Therefore it makes sense that they want to emulate that kind of success.
I must say I am disappointed to see that Frankie Edgar will not be getting a title shot at the big one, but hopefully that fight is for the near future. The Diaz vs McGregor fight is definitely an exciting one. Although it was a short match the first time around it was certainly fun, even the press conferences were explosive. This time around both fighters will be getting a fight camp with a set opponent so the second meeting should be crazy. I could have waited if it meant that "The Answer" would finally get a shot at the gold.
The two fighters have apparently made a verbal agreement to meet again at UFC 200. This one is sure to be a stacked card. The biggest pay-per-view in MMA history comes to us on July 9th. If you enjoyed this article give it a share and subscribe. I will be posting more MMA related content in the future as well as the usual topics of TV shows, movies and video games.

Bible Storying for Muslim audiences
This was our first animated story that we made. This is good to show the contrast between Islam and Christianity.
After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing."
They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
|But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?"
They answered him, "No."
"Then cast your net on the other side"
|They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!"So Peter jumpe into the water and swam ashore.
So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."
Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?"
He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you."
He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?"
He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you."
He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?"
Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you."
Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Most assuredly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don't want to go."

I filed divisional and playoff predictions Friday that will appear in our overall MLB preview package, but for the past few years I've drilled down a little further and eyeballed some won-lost records for all 30 teams while also explaining my logic in my standings and awards predictions.
Here are the picks for 2011:
AL East
I'd love to tell you the upstart Tampa Bay Rays could do it again, and they're certainly close enough to the Big Two to have a few things fall their way and sneak into the playoffs, but I think they win the title this year of "Best team not playing in the postseason." The Red Sox are the most complete team in the league right now, although I think their run-scoring may fall a little short of expectations, but their run prevention should be among the league's strongest. The Yankees' lineup will be a year older but could benefit from a healthier A-Rod and maybe some Jesus Montero later in the year; their weakness, on the other hand, will be run prevention, and I don't think I'm being controversial if I say they have maybe two starters I trust.
The Blue Jays have a long list of bounceback candidates, led by Adam Lind, Aaron Hill and now-freed Travis Snider, to go with some very intriguing young pitching, although Brandon Morrow's injury and Brett Cecil's lost velocity are bad omens. Baltimore spent some money to improve the big league product this winter, but any progress the Orioles see this year in the standings will come from emerging young stars like Brian Matusz, Matt Wieters or Zach Britton.
AL Central
Adam Dunn seems like an ideal fit for a White Sox team that needed his OBP and some power to offset an inevitable step back by Paul Konerko, and I think their bullpen will once again be among the league's strongest. Their weakness is the back of the rotation, as I've never been an Edwin Jackson believer, and if we heard next week that Jake Peavy would never pitch again I don't think anyone would be surprised. I wonder if the Twins' apparent willingness to trade Francisco Liriano is motivated less by money than by something they know about his health or durability that we don't; this is not typically a rash organization or one that would blithely trade away a piece they need if they're going to contend this year. Detroit's rotation could be pretty strong if you think Rick Porcello turns it around (I was shocked by his struggles last year after such a strong rookie season) and Brad Penny stays healthy, but there's decline written all over that offense, and expensive bullpens are more often expensive than they are effective.
The Royals have a 100-loss team on paper -- or 105 or more -- but they're not going to spend the whole season with that roster; look for Mike Moustakas to get some big league time this year, joined later by Mike Montgomery, John Lamb and Eric Hosmer. I like Cleveland's current roster a little more than I like Kansas City's, but their system offers Lonnie Chisenhall and a number of projected relievers in its upper levels, without the high-end starters the Royals are bringing along.
AL West
Texas will be worse, and the division will be better, but I don't see Oakland or the Angels surpassing the Rangers without some help from injuries or outlier performances. For all the drama over Michael Young, the real drama in Arlington is in the rotation, an issue that could be easily addressed by returning Neftali Feliz to a starting role. If you could promise me right now that Brett Anderson would throw 180 innings, I might flip the A's into first place even with the questions around their offense, but I think asking him to be healthy and Trevor Cahill to miss enough bats (for which he has the raw stuff) to keep his ERA down and Dallas Braden to keep that smoke-and-mirrors act rolling and so on is probably too much, at least if you're looking for the safe way to bet.
The Angels are worse today than they were at this time last year, even with the addition of Dan Haren, although I admit there's a little part of me that still thinks Howie Kendrick is going to hit .310 one of these years; I might bump them up two wins if I had any faith they'd make Jeff Mathis the infrequently used backup to Hank Conger. King Felix and Seattle's offense should keep games at Safeco moving briskly all season.
NL East
I don't know how long Chase Utley will be on the shelf, and that win estimate is more likely to be high than low; I still have the Phillies in first because their front four starters are tremendous and should help take pressure off a bullpen that has long been an Achilles' heel. Atlanta has the talent to surpass the Phillies, but they keep trying to sabotage themselves, like talking about batting Jason Heyward sixth, moving Martin Prado to left to install Dan Uggla at second, or choosing Brandon Beachy over Mike Minor based on the tiny sample of spring training.
Florida seems like the most likely team in the NL to make a surprise playoff run given all its young talent, but the roster is thin after that top veneer. The Mets probably aren't an 85-loss team right now, but that front office will look to turn over the roster once the team is clearly out of it. I don't really get the optimism around this year's Nationals team; the rotation is almost as bad as Kansas City's, Danny Espinosa (who's never been that good a hitter) is coming back from hamate surgery, and Jayson Werth is no longer playing at CBP in a contract year.
NL Central
This division will be competitive, but it probably won't be good. Even if Zack Greinke were ready to go on Opening Day, you could pick apart the Brewers -- for me the best team on paper in the NL Central -- on defense or bullpen or lack of rotation depth (which I guess is already becoming an issue). I could see the Reds losing value with Scott Rolen's age/health, Johnny Cueto's health, Travis Wood and Mike Leake's workloads, Jonny Gomes' glove and platoon issues, and Joey Votto not hitting like Superman again ... but picking much of that value back up with Jay Bruce breaking out, Edinson Volquez returning, Chris Heisey (I hope) taking at-bats from Gomes, and Aroldis Chapman adding another 55-60 high-quality innings to that pen.
The Cardinals couldn't afford to lose a full year of Wainwright, with Jaime Garcia unlikely to repeat his outstanding 2010 campaign and an experiment with Kyle McClellan (a career 4.01 tERA/4.12 xFIP in the bullpen) as Wainwright's replacement looking dicey, to be kind; I wouldn't want to be in their shoes if they're eight or ten games out at the break and have to seriously consider shopping their first baseman. The Pirates and Astros are both 100-loss candidates, although in defense of both clubs, neither has tried to paper over its troubles by signing bad veterans to expensive contracts. The Pirates offer a few more interesting young players to watch, including Pedro Alvarez and Jose Tabata, while the Astros might have more midseason trade bait, like arb-eligible Hunter Pence or Brett Myers (who is signed through 2012).
NL West
The NL West has a bigger gap between favorites and contenders than any other division in the majors, which says as much about the contenders as it does about the favorites. The Giants get a full season of Buster Posey and probably 400 or more at-bats from Brandon Belt to offset declines from Pat Burrell or Aubrey Huff, although I have no idea who's going to catch the ball at shortstop behind the statue of Miguel Tejada they've installed at AT&T park. (If the ball hits the statue, is the play dead?)
The Rockies play great defense, roll out three good-to-great starters and use a two-man lineup with a lot of easy outs. Money troubles aside, the Dodgers have a slew of players who have underperformed given their tools; Matt Kemp has the ability to be the way he was in 2009, but I can't tell you whether the managerial change will turn him around. I might be high on the Padres if Mat Latos isn't going to miss a chunk of the season. He might. Kevin Towers' bullpen magic may not work so well in homer-friendly Chase Field, and the D-backs have a lot of flyball pitchers on their staff to go with an anemic offense.
Player awards
I did try to avoid picking repeat winners here; I don't see any real reason the Cy Young winners couldn't do so again, but it seemed I wouldn't be imparting much useful information if I just named a bunch of guys who won last year. That said, I'm trying to predict who will win these awards, not who will end up deserving them, so if I felt that strongly about any repeater, I would have picked him.
AL MVP: Robinson Cano
Best player on one of the league's best teams at an up-the-middle position. Also considered Evan Longoria (my second choice), Miguel Cabrera, Adrian Gonzalez and Joe Mauer.
NL MVP: Troy Tulowitzki
I get that Carlos Gonzalez is an exciting player, but he's not the best player on his own team, and Gonzalez's difficulties hitting outside of Coors (not just breaking balls but fastballs with movement) are well-documented enough that I think it's fair to say that CarGo's status on MVP ballots is partly a function of his home park. Of course, this could end up Buster Posey's award this year anyway, assuming Albert Pujols doesn't put on a contract-year push for the ages.
AL Cy Young: Jon Lester
I believe I picked Lester last year, and he had a great season even if he wasn't that close to King Felix. He'll get more run support and more defensive support this year, to the extent that either still clouds voters' thinking.
NL Cy Young: Josh Johnson
Was neck-and-neck with Halladay until his season ended early, and he would have at least made the voting close if he'd thrown a full season. Halladay is a monster, but I'm not going to bet on him throwing 250 innings again. I also considered Cliff Lee and Clayton Kershaw, and I like Yovani Gallardo as a dark horse.
AL Rookie of the Year: Jeremy Hellickson
I don't like picking pitchers for this award, but the crop of AL position player rookies isn't strong; J.P. Arencibia would be the leading candidate among the bats. Chris Sale could sneak in here if he ends up the closer in Chicago for more than half the year, and I'd consider Dustin Ackley here if I thought he'd get more than 3.5 months in the big leagues.
NL Rookie of the Year: Freddie Freeman
Freeman has a full-time job and no obvious internal replacement if he stumbles out of the gate. If Brandon Belt had a full-time job, I'd lean towards him, although they could pull the plug on him quickly if he struggles.
Breakout players
I chose not to do a breakout candidates column this year for two reasons. One is that last year's list includes a lot of guys I still like but who either didn't break out at all last year (Matt Wieters, Travis Snider) or broke out partway (Jay Bruce, Gordon Beckham). A breakout list that just says "see last year's entry" isn't helping anyone.
The bigger reason is that I don't have enough new names to fill out a whole column. Is it fair to call Logan Morrison or Mike Stanton a breakout candidate when both have already performed so well in half-seasons in the majors? "Buster Posey leads Law's list of breakout candidates" feels a little cheap, although you'd probably click on it anyway to see if I'd mailed in my column or something.
Anyway, a few young players whom I like to be better in 2011 than they were in 2010 include Baltimore LHP Brian Matusz, Pittsburgh RHP James McDonald (finally left alone in a starting role?), Arizona CF Chris Young, Cleveland CF Michael Brantley and Seattle 1B Justin Smoak. I might have included Toronto RHP Brandon Morrow or Milwaukee LHP Manny Parra (assuming he was moved to the bullpen) had either been healthy. And I'll mention that one name I've heard scouts out here talk up this spring is Texas 1B Mitch Moreland, who looks stronger and has shown more power in BP.

Blacks tend to commit violent crime at higher rates than whites and East Asians because they have lower average intelligence levels.
Some suppose that people with higher intellects are more efficient in covering their crimes while the intellectually challenged are predisposed to get caught.
Were that true we would expect the body count in Japan to be the same as the body count in Detroit and the number of missing persons in white communities to be the same as missing persons in black communities.
What we find, however, is that the number of body bags per capita is lower in communities with higher average intellects because smart people don't commit violent crime at the same rate as those living in communities with lower average intellects.
There is no cause-and-effect relation between income disparities and crime disparities. Rather, we can attribute both income and crime levels to intelligent levels.

Age: 33
Raised: Bronx, NY USA
Lives: Los Angeles, CA USA
Occupation: Author
Hobbies: Reading / Video Games

E.L. Drayton was born and raised in the Bronx. The daughter of a former high school English Teacher, her single mother taught her how to read and write before she even started a formal education. She quickly picked up reading and understanding books well beyond her age so it's no surprise her passion has always been writing.
She went on to college and studied Psychology instead of taking the expected route of Literature or Creative Writing, for fear she would lose her desire to one day become a famous author. Not taking any formal writing courses, however, never deterred her from her goal. In fact, it made her want it more. She spent countless hours building up a library of books from all genres in order to learn from those she considers to be the best. All throughout her years of writing she never lost her thirst for knowledge from reading others' works of fiction.
Deciding to become a self-published author is something she's most excited about. This will give her the opportunity to live out her dreams on her own terms and in her own time.
She's currently working on an adult Illustrated Novel Series, Twin Crossing, due out in quarterly E-Book installments with a Print Book coming soon. Her other projects include The Book of Snow Series, for YA fans of The Hunger Games or Divergent Series. Also, a free Web Series, Unnatural Things, a name which she hopes to start writing all of her works under.
She currently resides in the Bronx.

Just one game reached a conclusion, but for the victorious Ponteland it was an important one as it lifted them out of the bottom few spots and into the comparative comfort of mid-table.
The at Lanchester was in a match reduced to 40 overs per side, the visitors posting a target of 147-9 which was much more than looked like being the case in the early stages. Kieron Taylor (3-41) struck some early blows in the home attack, and with the first five wickets mustering just 19 runs between them it looked like an early finish.
But skipper Wayne Ritzema found someone to stick around, Ed Common adding 26 vital runs as Ritzema went to his half century with five fours and a six. Tom Common (33) then provided a late injection of pace as he smashed three sixes and suddenly Ponteland had a total to defend.
Loading article content
And defend they did as Lanchester failed to get to grips with the run chase.
Opener Nav Ahmed (26) looked like he might spark his team into life, and then Kevin Dixon (29) gave some late hope, but with Tom Common and David Waters sharing six wickets Ponteland kept a firm grip on proceedings as the home team were bowled out for 127 in the 39th over.
The only other match to see any decent amount of play was at Alnmouth where Tynedale looked in control until a downpour ended proceedings.
The visitors set a target of 169 after contributions throughout the order, John Meadows (35 from 52 balls) and Tim Raglan (31 from 43 balls) providing a solid platform despite some steady bowling spells from Robin Tudor (3-35) and Paul Straker (3-41).
But then the wheels looked like coming off for Alnmouth as David Newton had them on the run with an 8 over spell in which he claimed three wickets for 12 runs. When the rain came to the rescue Alnmouth were a perilous 33-5 from 16 eventful overs.
Both took ten points from the game, a return that took them into joint second place in the table, ten behind leaders Ashington.

By Thomas W. Bahr, Interim Executive Director
This past May, the WPPA held its 72nd Annual Convention at the Kalahari Resort in Lake Delton. I am pleased to report the convention was well attended by our members and delegates representing their respective locals from across the state and Upper Michigan.
This was the first year that the WPPA held its annual convention at the Kalahari Resort, and their recent expansion and remodeling provided us not only excellent meeting facilities but also provided our members' families with entertainment at America's largest indoor Waterpark. To those that chose to see the sites, the Wisconsin Dells/Lake Delton area provides a wealth of opportunities ranging from sightseeing trips to specialty shops and, of course, the ever popular Ho Chunk Casino.
The theme of the convention was "The Law and You!" and included seminars on Garrity issues, estate planning, discrimination law, family law, labor law, and campaign finance law, just to name a few.
The success of this year's convention was due in no small part to the members of the Dane County Deputy Sheriffs Association and the Madison Professional Police Officers Association. Many of their members volunteered their time to assist with all manner of things to ensure that various events and seminars ran smoothly. Special thanks go out to those members who volunteered their time to provide free childcare to WPPA members. These two groups apparently enjoyed the experience, and have agreed to provide the same service next year. WPPA members seemed to appreciate the service as well, as every single person we surveyed indicated that the childcare was a helpful addition.
Next year's convention will again be held at the Kalahari on May 15, 16, and 17, 2005. For the first time, the convention will be moved back one day to begin on Saturday, rather than Sunday, and end on Monday. We received numerous suggestions about future seminars and events members would like to see incorporated for the next convention. The WPPA convention committee will be meeting over the next few months to begin planning for next year and will be considering many of these suggestions.
Traditionally, this is the issue of the Wisconsin Police Journal in which we highlight the past convention. Please take the time to read about Convention 2004 and enjoy the photo journal. There is an article on pages 24 and 25 that may interest those of you from our larger locals if you have ever considered sponsoring a representative of a small local at the annual convention.
Almost every year at the annual convention, we see a change in the WPPA Board of Directors. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the WPPA's newly-elected President, David Mahoney, and to thank Past President Lyle VanderWyst for his four years of service as WPPA President. We also want to thank Todd Trapp for his service as WPPA Treasurer, and welcome Doug Koykkari as the newly-elected Treasurer. Fortunately, Lyle and Todd will stay on the Board: Lyle as our Vice-President and Todd as a Director. Also, we say farewell and thank you to past Directors Bernie Reinfeldt and Eileen Micklitz and a sincere welcome to Directors Dale Anderson from Dane County and Michael Doud from Waukesha County.
At the annual convention and in the cover story of this magazine, we pay tribute to our own for their heroism and service to the community. Please read about the WPPA's 2004 Service Awards on pages 16 and 17.
Also, in this magazine you will find photos and an article about the 2004 Torch Run and Summer Games for Special Olympics Wisconsin that were held in Stevens Point on June 10, 11 and 12. And, by the way, the WPPA Directors' Raffle for the Law Enforcement Torch Run® raised over $6,600 this year at the annual convention. The Board of Directors has been sponsoring this annual raffle since 1994, all proceeds of which benefit Special Olympics Wisconsin.
In closing, I would like to acknowledge the WPPA staff for their diligent efforts during this transition period to work together to ensure that the level of service that the WPPA provides to its members is not compromised. As Wisconsin's largest and strongest law enforcement association, the WPPA values the privilege of protecting the interests of those dedicated men and women who protect our communities. I have a deep appreciation of the challenges confronting Wisconsin's law enforcement workforce, and I am committed to seeing the WPPA continue down the path of success that it began in 1932.
Have a safe summer.
