Guldheden Water Tower
Very friendly, cute hotel near by the centre. Nice small restaurant. Breakfast only from 7 to 9. No parking without costs (but maybe normal for the city).
The family feel of the hotel was excellent. The staff very nice and the location superb.
The personal and quiet atmosphere!
Very helpful, cheery staff. Colors of the linen as well as the table cloths, etc of the breakfast room. The plumbing in our room (specifically, the wash basin) did not work properly
It was a cheap place to sleep and there were good jogging paths nearby + lake beach to go with the kids. The location is near Göteborg and there is a shopping centre Allerum nearby. The room was very much worn-out (bedrail was missing from the upper bed, electric plugs were hanging dangerously).
staff. Remoteness
Close to the airport False advertising in airport shuttle! That was the reason I stayed there and yet when I asked about it I was told they dont have one!

Only a flawed team loses five of six games, including being swept at home, in a pennant race against a sub .500 team like the Nationals.
I don't want the hear how "we're everybody's World Series," as the Mets like to say about teams that get up for them.
I don't want to hear how "we've got to turn things around."
More than a few times this season when they were slumping they said things will get better once they got back Pedro.
Now, they need a big game from Pedro for things to be right.

Where are "Favorites"? I had a flagged a couple of discussion threads as Favorites but with the new layout I have no idea where the page that lists my favorites is.
Never mind. Just found them. "Settings" doesn't seem the most sensible place for them, and I don't like having to click twice where before I only had to click once. I for one, would prefer to have it as a separate item listed when I click on the little person icon like it used to be rather than having to click on the not-intuitive "Settings."
But I found it and am relieved that new design didn't result in complete loss of this feature.
On that note, could you please put the 'Queue' button back in the top bar, or at least make it available from the little-person-icon menu as well? With the current setup I had to go to 'Settings' then 'Favorites' to get the 'you might want to use the new Queue feature!' suggestion link. It's a good thing I already bookmarked the page, but I'd rather not have to rely on that. Thanks!

Uh the little bookmark icon to the left of the person menu is the queue button?
I agree everything does look sleeker,
And the monkey flips the switch...
I don't like the new layout, I use to browse anime by season (I like to see what's current, i.e. new shows and when they aired). I know you can look at "updated", but it doesn't seem as nicely broken down as the old page. I hope it gets added back.
New layout is cold, unintuitive, and very difficult to navigate. Revert please....or at the very least give Premium members the option.
Please bring back the old layout for the updated anime shows. The new one where you only have anime posters instead of the screenshots is not good at all.
One Piece is REAL! - Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate
Seconded re. old updated anime page. Really miss it.
Under Shows, I think it would be handy to keep the option to revisit old simulcast series by the season they came out like the old page. I don't want to have to search up each year and season to find a simulcast. Call it lazy, but proper cataloging of your series should be standard.
I also think the live host videos should have a seperate catagory. They may be anime related, but they aren't anime.
On Queue it would be nice to be able to see how many episodes a series has total or available and get rid of "Recently Watched Episodes" I also think it would be nice to have some sort of tabs and the ability to choose how many series appear on each tab of the queue so you're not scrolling down for 30 seconds. Maybe even have them able to be sorted by year, genre, and simulcast as well. Possibly even a favorites tab. Also now that I'm thinking of it, the queue page does look pretty boring, maybe thumbnails like the old Watchlist had?
Please bring back the anime by season. This made it easy to see what was new this season and allowed me to go back and see what I missed.
Ah damn I was using the toolbar a lot too.
the changes to the anime by season and the old anime updated page are the reasons i didn't and probably wont renew my premium membership, unless it goes back to the way it was before then i would consider it
Speaking of comments I normally run CR through my PS3 any chance of getting a comment section through the app during video play. Hate having to log online to post a coment then go back to PS3.

Top 9 Political and Libertarian Quizzes
More and more I'm hearing from people who say things like "I always used to consider myself a conservative, but now I'm starting to wonder if I'm a libertarian," or "I am a recovering liberal who understands government is more often the problem than not- I'm starting to lean libertarian."
With the relentless acceleration of government growth and abuses, there is a deep and growing interest in libertarianism in America today. So I've compiled a list of nine libertarian political quizzes I found on the Internet, along with my ratings and commentary:
1. The World's Smallest Political Quiz
(take this libertarian quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
This is perhaps the most popular and well-known libertarian political quiz on the Internet, a project of the libertarian Advocates for Self Government. Indeed, it's presently one of the top search results for "libertarian quiz" on Google. It is also self-billed as the "World's Smallest Political Quiz," clocking in at just ten short, simple statements that quiz-takers mark as "Agree," "Maybe," or "Disagree."
After filling out the survey, users will get the following result, which is where their political views fall on a Nolan Chart- a grid with two axes, one for the amount of government control over "personal issues" that is acceptable to the quiz-taker, and one for the amount of government control over "economic issues" that is acceptable to the quiz-taker:
2. Nolan Chart Survey
(take this political philosophy quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
The Nolan Chart Survey operates very similarly to the quiz above. Just ten questions then a graphic result displaying the quiz-taker's position on a Nolan Chart. The difference is that the questions are longer and a little more involved and nuanced than those on "The World's Smallest Political Quiz" above, and the website is not itself committed to libertarianism. Both of these differences could be considered either positive or negative things depending on what you're looking for in such a quiz.
3. Libertarian Purity Test
(take this libertarian quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
This 64 question libertarian quiz is designed to rate how truly libertarian the quiz-taker actually is. The quiz maker seems to equate libertarianism with anarcho-capitalism. That could make this a better or worse libertarian quiz depending on your point of view.
4. Political Ideology Quiz
(take this libertarian quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
This is a fun quiz and the results are amusing. Give it a shot. (Let me add that I think including the abortion controversy on any of these quizzes can easily throw off the results, because your stand on this issue should include two factors: your view of government AND your understanding of what a fetus happens to be, which is a philosophical and scientific question, not a political one.)
5. "What Kind of Libertarian Are You?" Quiz
(take this libertarian quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
What kind of libertarian are you? This quiz will help you find out. Are you a Minarchist? A left-libertarian? A libertarian socialist? I actually think this is a pretty good libertarian quiz and that its results correspond well to its questions.
6. "Are You A Libertarian?" Quiz
(take this libertarian quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
This is a fun quiz, but not a very serious one. For example, one of the questions is: "Milton Friedman. Smart economist? Or smartest economist?" If you don't think he's the smartest (like say for instance, that you think Ludwig von Mises was smarter), then you get docked as less libertarian. But it is a fun quiz. I'll let the author's description speak for itself:
"Am I a libertarian? You ask yourself this question every day, I am sure. And until now there has been no way to find out if you are a libertarian. That's where this quiz comes in. The Ron Paul revolution lives on. Are you one of us?
This quiz tells if you are a libertarian, which is a political philosophy celebrating freedom, markets, capitalism, and personal responsibility. It'll weed out the dirty socialist thieves. Long live libertarianism!"
7. Libertarian or Authoritarian Quiz
(take this libertarian quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
Another ten question libertarian quiz. The quiz-taker gets to choose from between five answers to each question, which span pretty well-representative gradations from extreme agreement to extreme disagreement with questions like "Free trade: Yes or no?" and do so in a humorous way and with a lot of personality.
8. Political Ideology Quiz
(take this political quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
What's your political philosophy? Take the "Ideology Selector" Quiz and find out. As the quiz states: "This selector tests for a number of specific contemporary ideologies in the United States, including 'neoconservative,' 'paleolibertarian,' 'Third Way,' etc."
What I really like about it is that it is pretty sophisticated, and what I mean by that is that you can express your agreement or disagreement with the question (or say you're unsure), and then you can express what level of priority you place on the issue and your agreement or disagreement with it.
This allows for a much more nuanced understanding of the quiz-taker's political views because you might agree with something, but not care very much about it or give much thought to it.
9. Political Philosophy Quiz
(take this political quiz here)
Rating: x x x x x
This quiz will give you an overall category for your political leanings based on four spectra: Conservative vs. Progressive (which is more or less where you stand in the "culture wars" as far as I can tell), Capitalist Purist vs. Social Capitalist (less or more government intervention in economics), Libertarian vs. Authoritarian (less or more government intervention in "personal" decisions), and Pacifist vs. Militarist (less war or more war).

LOL! Don't worry- I'm no "centrist." That's just an example. You're actually getting a little ahead of me, but either tomorrow or Saturday, I'll post what my results were on all ten quizzes.ReplyDelete
Okay. Just wondering because, so far, I've taken the first two and gotten at the tip-top libertarian corner.ReplyDelete
Do you believe that there can be any just wars? Or do you blame the U.S. and our soldiers for Terrorists attacking us on Sept. 11? I am just wondering because I have been debating a teen blogger who thinks she is a Libertarian but gives all the excuses in the world for the terrorists attacking us, so I am a little confused.
It amuses me that at least one quiz attempts to define "libertarian" as supporting Ron Paul. Funny thing that it fails to mention that Paul is a porker and not always libertarian on issues. Ron Paul does not define American libertarians and its foolish to suggest such a thing.ReplyDelete
Hey Wes,ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking our Quiz. I'm glad you found it easy and accurate. We find that the Quiz (especially used in conjunction with Operation Politically Homeless)is a great way to show people that just because they've always voted a certain way that their views might be more libertarian.

I've always thought Libertarian just meant Liberty must be the priority in making any decision, using the constitution as the guide.ReplyDelete
I'll take the tests though.
Thanks Wes.

Ask a whole lot of unique individuals on the road what a Libertarian is and you'll probably find out most of them don't know! But even though many of them can't put it into terms, lots of individuals like what the Libertarian attitude is all about. You've probably observed about the Libertarian Celebration. You may even like some of its associates. But do you really know what a Libertarian is? And could you be one without even understanding it? http://www.crosswordpuzzlehelps.com/ReplyDelete

A SCOUT shop in Bridgwater is having a much-needed facelift and organisers are in need of donations and a helping hand.
The Bridgwater Scout and Guide Shop was situated on the top floor at Unity House in Dampiet Street but moved to the bottom floor of the same building to save its elderly members from climbing up more than 50 stairs.
Colin Gaye, who runs the shop with his wife, Mollie, said: "It will be a blessing for those who had to climb those stairs to buy items and hopefully encourage more use of the shop.
"Any profit made goes to the Bridgwater Scouts division which also covers Chilton Polden, Cannington and North Petherton."
The new shop needs shelving putting up and painting, which is estimated to cost £250.
Anyone able to help with donations or manpower can call Mollie or Colin Gaye on 01278 452000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

A Man in His Office Kitchen: Chef Sam Talbot
Army Captain, 2nd Cavalry Regiment
For a second there, D. J. Skelton felt like he was floating. And then came the sound of a soldier asking if he was alive. Skelton tried to scream. But nothing came out. Then ... blinding pain.
The RPG ambush in Fallujah, Iraq, in 2004, destroyed Skelton's entire upper jaw, palate, and left eye. His left arm was pulverized and a fist-sized hole was punched through his right leg. It would take sixty surgeries and six years for Skelton to fully recover, during which he worked for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and cofounded a disable-bodied sports organization, Paradox Sports. But one thing he knew soon after he awoke in the hospital: He wanted to return to his men.
In March, Skelton took command of 150 infantrymen, armor soldiers, and fire-support soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry during their one-year tour in Afghanistan. Although he can't see out of his left eye and eats with a prosthesis, the soldiers see him as nothing other than what he is — Captain Skelton, head of the company. He is the most seriously injured active-duty soldier. And he is exactly where he belongs, leading his soldiers. —Mark Mikin
Superintendent, Fresno Country Office of Education
In 1987, Larry Powell played Juror No. Eleven in Twelve Angry Men in his hometown of Fresno, California. Playing an Eastern European refugee, he had to pretend he couldn't get any of the jokes. Which was hard for Powell. He loves laughter. He believes that it helps you survive the difficulties of life. It's a gift he thinks everyone should have.
But when California cut billions in education funding — which came out to $1,200 less per Fresno student — it meant cuts top to bottom. So Powell did the only thing he could: He quit his job as Fresno schools superintendent and the $230,000 salary that went with it, and then reapplied to do the same job for $31,000 a year. Powell could afford to take the cut, he believed, but the students couldn't. By the time he retires, Powell's act will have added more than $800,000 to the coffers of the Fresno County school system, all of which has been earmarked into a discretionary fund for arts programs as well as an antibullying program called Rachel's Challenge. His sacrifice alone won't fix the budget crisis. But at least the shows will go on. —M.M.

FORMER Marlborough College student Alessandro Latif contests the latest rounds of the Blancpain Sprint Series in Slovakia this weekend, aiming to extend his Pro-Am Trophy points advantage.
Latif, a student at Marlborough until this summer, and German co-driver Marc Basseng have posted three top-10 results overall including two wins and two runners-up in the Pro-Am category in the opening six races in their Phoenix Racing Audi R8 LMS ultra earning them a two-point lead.
The impressive results have been achieved despite Alessandro not having driven on any of the race tracks that the seven-event, 14-race Blancpain series visits.
"Unusually I've had the opportunity to get in the Audi and sample the track staging the next race in advance," said Latif.
"I was there last month and it's very challenging and has a really good variety of quick and slow corners some featuring long radiuses which means there are multiple lines, all ending up as quick as each other.
"That's what makes it challenging for me. The surface is very smooth and but still really demands a lot from the Pirelli tyres. The rubber is going to lay down really well during race week bringing a whole new parameter to consider for Sunday's second race.
"Marc has previously raced there which is good as he can guide me further over the race weekend.
"I'm just really looking forward to the event and am determined to bounce back from a disappointing brace of races at Zandvoort and ultimately extend our championship lead."
The 14-corner Automotodróm Slovakia Ring track opened in 2008 and is the longest on the Blancpain Sprint calendar at 3.68-miles.
Two practice sessions are staged on Friday with qualifying for grid positions and the Qualifying Race on Saturday. The main one-hour Feature Race is on Sunday.
Since last month's Blancpain race at Zandvoort, Latif drove a rare Jaguar D-Type at Silverstone with the aim of racing it at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium next month.

creed3020 - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkWow I'm absolutely loving this type of configurability. Being able to ramp up to SLI graphics if you need them and then back it out to through your 1TB HDD for a backup is great.
I wonder if they also are going to make one with an additional battery. That would be a wise option for those that want to stick with the internal GPU but want more battery life for a trip for example. Reply
Sottilde - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI have heard that one is coming but it's just a rumor.
This series in particular could use it. Specs are nearly identical to the Y580 (thus making the model numbers especially confusing; this model is more advanced than the Y580), but battery life is ~2h45m vs ~5h. The culprit is Optimus: for whatever reason the internal Intel HD4000 GPU is completely disabled on the Y400/Y500.
Nobody has been able to figure out why quite yet. It is unfortunate; while Optimus has its bugs, it certainly helps battery life. In addition Quick Sync and WiDi rely on the HD4000, so they do not work at this time on the Y400/Y500. Reply

Sottilde - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkActually, they offer a module that's simply a cooling fan. I believe it's about $30. Word on the internet street is that it does absolutely nothing because there's no heat vented from that part of the laptop.
Strangely they also offer a hard drive caddy for the insane price of $189. If you look around you can find a comparable caddy for ~$30 or less. Reply

The Madison Area Vegetarian Meetup Group Message Board
› Recipe Exchange
Meet and socialize with other vegetarians and vegans in the Madison area.
I try to schedule events roughly every other week, usually alternating between a vegan dinner at a local restaurant and a social event that's not necessarily centered around food -- bowling, board games, potlucks, apple picking, miniature golf, cooking lessons, and camping trips, for example.
With nearly 2,000 group members, you're bound to meet people you have a lot in common with, as well as many from other walks of life. We don't fit a stereotype... our members range from teens to seniors and include families with young kids, lifelong Madisonians, new residents, lawyers, doctors, truck drivers, business owners, writers, programmers, students, and teachers.
All of the group's food-related events are vegan (so everyone can eat everything), but we welcome everyone... vegetarians, vegans, and anyone else who is interested.
Note: There is no charge to join the group, but some of the events have a fee.

Pa.'s county commissioners face unknowns in budget planning
Counties throughout Pennsylvania are nearing their year-end deadline for finalizing their 2013 spending plans.
At their annual meeting in Hershey, commissioners say they are facing several unknowns.
Maybe it's the two-day conference of county commissioners that makes Joe DeMott slump in his seat. Or maybe it's the looming budget deadline that promises more work ahead for the chairman of the McKean County commissioners.
The spending proposal's not quite done, DeMott said Tuesday, as he briefly lamented his county's inadequate tax base.
Commissioners have been working to cut costs -- DeMott says the county has reduced its prison population by a third over the past year.
But he worries new corrections policies established by the state might erase those gains.
"The state is changing their guidelines as far as what type of convicts can be sent to state prison so we may end up having more of those people in the county jail now," he said.
It's an issue because DeMott's county had planned on using the extra space it freed up in county prisons to lease to the state.
Now, he says, the potential revenue source may disappear.
Another issue is a program designed to give them more discretion over how to spend state funding for human services.
Schuylkill County didn't get into the pilot program, which gives counties flexibility in funding seven different services with a single block grant.
But Commissioner Jeff Halcovage says he's asking staff to act as if they're in the program -- by communicating more about their budgets.
He's hoping it will encourage savings among the various human services.
"Senior services, the children and youth, drug and alcohol. We all need to have more conversation together. There's nothing worse than one silo not knowing what the other silo's doing, and that's where sometimes you see a problem occurring," he said.
The Corbett administration says it wants to make the human services block grant available to all counties next year.
The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania supports the expansion of the program statewide as soon as it's "practical."

Just before the new year, the U.S. Senate reauthorized the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, H.R. 1549, an action the House of Representatives took earlier in the year.
FISA, first enacted in 1978, sets out the rules and procedures for physical and electronic surveillance and collection of foreign intelligence information. It also created a special court to review requests for warrants related to national security investigations. FISA was reworked in 2008 to expand the government's power to spy on people without having a warrant. This 2008 version was extended for five years by the Senate's Dec. 28 vote.
We've criticized the FISA reauthorization because it gives the federal government overly broad powers to listen to communications by Americans made to a foreign country.
For us and for many civil liberties groups, this clearly is a violation of the Fourth Amendment right against "unreasonable searches and seizures," and that a warrant be obtained from a court "upon probable cause."
Democratic U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, prior to the vote, brought up Fourth Amendment concerns, stating, "When the public finds out that these secret interpretations [by FISA courts] are so dramatically different than what the public law says, I think there's going to be extraordinary anger in the country."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, disagreed: "No one should think the targets are U.S. persons," she said. "Thirteen members of the intelligence committee who have voted on this do not believe this is a problem."
Though the "targets" may not be "U.S. persons," Americans still will be roped into investigations without a court order under the "secret interpretations" Mr. Wyden mentioned. And the 13 senators Ms. Feinstein mentioned – as well as voting majorities in the full Senate and House – ought to reconsider.
It's also unfortunate that Republicans, who claim they are America's champions of individual rights and freedoms, were the main supporters of the FISA extension without adequate modifications. In the House, 227 Republicans voted yea, seven against and five abstained. For Democrats, 74 backed it, 11 opposed, and five abstained.
In the Senate, 42 Republicans backed it, with three against; 30 Democrats voted for it, with 19 against. California's other Democratic senator, Barbara Boxer, abstained.
All Orange County Republican representatives backed the extension: Reps. Dana Rohrabacher, Ed Royce, John Campbell, Gary Miller, Ken Calvert and Darrell Issa. O.C.'s two Democrats, Reps. Loretta Sanchez and Linda Sanchez, commendably voted against it.
Before passage, the bill should have been amended in three ways, Trevor Timm told us; he's a privacy policy analyst with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based privacy rights group. First, it should require a warrant be obtained for spying on any American. Second, the extension of the law should be for three years instead of five. Third, the National Security Agency, the primary agency for electronic surveillance, should release the number of Americans who have been monitored under FISA. The public has a right to know that much, at least.
The reason the founders put such protections in the Bill of Rights was so that, during some crisis, the government couldn't simply declare an emergency and re-establish a tyranny like the one the patriots had just fought to gain our freedoms.

Directed by Yeun Sang-ho, the film was selected for Cannes' Directors Fortnight last year, marking the first time a South Korean animation had played in official selection at the festival. Indiestory also previously sold it to the UK's Terracotta Distribution and Australia's Madman.
Indiestory has also sold two documentaries to Thailand's Agaligo Entertainment: Tae Jun-seek's Mother, about the last years of a Korean grandmother; and Yun Ki-hyoung's Dancing Cat, about the relationship between humans and stray cats.
The Seoul-based production and sales company is handling international sales on 24-minute short Jury, the directorial debut of Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) co-founder Kim Dong-ho. The satire, about the deliberations of a film festival jury, is screening in this year's Panorama section.
Indiestory's slate also includes two titles fresh from screening at Rotterdam: O Muel's Jiseul, which won a World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at Sundance; and Kim Tae-gon's Sunshine Boys, a drama about friendship and class differences.

Tulo gives Rockies legs in victory over Rays
Shortstop collects three hits, three RBIs; Arenado belts first slam
DENVER -- Troy Tulowitzki's heavy legs were much better on Saturday, as he returned to the Rockies' lineup and resumed his run-producing ways.
Tulowitzki went 3-for-3 and drove in three runs, while Carlos Gonzalez and Nolan Arenado homered off reigning American League Cy Young Award winner David Price in the Rockies' 9-3 win to even the series at Coors Field.
Tulowitzki, the Rockies' shortstop and cleanup hitter, now has 27 RBIs for the season after amassing a career-high 22 in April. Manager Walt Weiss took him out after a five-run uprising in the seventh, in which Arenado belted his first grand slam and the Rockies' first this season.
"He's fine," Weiss said of Tulowitzki, "just a chance to get him off his feet a little earlier. It's well documented how great a player he is. Having him in the middle of the lineup is huge for us. He came up big once again, been doing it the whole first month of the season."
Arenado has had a whirlwind first week in the Major Leagues, six games that included the slam, which was his second career homer. It came on his 26th at-bat in the Majors.
"I think Nolan showcased his skills tonight on both sides of the ball," Weiss said. "It didn't take him long to get his first Major League grand slam. It takes most of us years to do that. Very impressive night."
One of the 25 career home runs Weiss hit in 4,686 at-bats was a grand slam. He recalled it came at Tiger Stadium off Mike Trujillo in 1988.
Tulowitzki, who singled home a run in the first, doubled home two more in the third after Eric Young Jr. lined a single past Price and Carlos Gonzalez walked. The two hits with runners in scoring position raised Tulowitzki's average to .406 (13-for-32) in those situations.
Gonzalez, who went 2-for-4 and scored three runs, hit a solo shot in the fifth to break a 3-3 tie. It was Gonzalez's sixth homer of the season, his second at Coors Field and first at home since April 16.
That homer enabled starter Jon Garland to earn the win. The right-hander had worked at least six innings in each of his previous five starts, but he left after five innings and 93 pitches with the Rockies ahead, 4-3.
"He battled, got in some deep counts more than he's probably accustomed to," Weiss said. "But like he can, he found a way through it. In the end he did his job, giving us a chance to win and I'm glad he ended up getting the 'W.' He fought hard for it."
Gonzalez began the rally in the seventh with a two-out single. Tulowitzki followed with a hard shot that third baseman Evan Longoria gloved with a scrambling stop, but then he threw the ball past first base, putting runners on second and third.
Michael Cuddyer hit a grounder that shortstop Ben Zobrist charged, but he double-clutched before throwing the ball. First baseman James Loney scooped the low throw, but a hustling Cuddyer beat it out. The play was originally ruled an error, but was changed to a hit. The scoring change made all five runs in the inning earned when Areanado followed with his grand slam, belting a hanging 1-1 curveball over the fence in left-center.
"I tried to look for something over the middle of the plate," said Arenado, who flied to the warning track in center in his first two at-bats and then grounded to third. "My at-bat before, I pulled out on a curveball, pretty similar to the one I hit to center, and I rolled over to third. I just tried to stay through the ball and stay middle. And that was it.
That was also it for Price, who threw 104 pitches in his second career start at Coors Field. He's now 1-3 with a 6.25 ERA.
"I just have to make better pitches, especially in those big spots. That's not what I'm doing right now. It's frustrating, it is. I'm just going to continue to get my work in and get ready for that fifth day."
Arenado made a very nice defensive play in the sixth. He charged a slow roller hit by catcher Jose Molina, barehanded the ball and threw across his body. While Molina doesn't run well, it still took an outstanding effort by Arenado, and he got Molina, with first baseman Cuddyer stretching far for the throw.
"Yesterday [catcher Jose] Lobaton hit one that was similar, and I gloved it and I bobbled it, so I knew this grass was a little thick, so I had to barehand it," Arenado said. "It's just instincts. I just tried to get the ball over there and I just threw it, and luckily it was right at him."
The Rockies designated third baseman Chris Nelson last Sunday, replacing him with Arenado, who has gone 8-for-26 (.308) with two doubles, two homers, seven RBIs and four runs scored in his first six games, while improving the Rockies' defense at the hot corner.
"He's a great player but at the same time, you don't want to put too much pressure on him," Gonzalez said. "All he's got to do is just play his game, just the way he's been doing it. Defensively, he's been outstanding. All the plays that he's made, he make look easy. He's very smooth out there at third base and that's what we need. We need just need guys to do the little things to help the ballclub, and just let the big boys do the rest."

AFTER a year of fundraising efforts, Swindon Town Football in the Community Trust have unveiled their new minibus.
The vehicle will help deliver programmes such as disability, Futsal and football education and social inclusion courses to a wider audience and was funded by a series of events, the most notable of which took place in June where Lydiard House staged a summer ball in aid of the Trust.
A team of organiser led by business support officer Joe O'Brien secured help from the likes of Mark Sawyer and Denise Bentley at TE Connectivity and Michelle Hobbs from Tesco.
Trust joint manager Clive Maguire said: "We have had another fantastic year with the purchase of our minibus being one of our major highlights and achievements.
"The support we have received from both TE Connectivity and Tesco has been pivotal in enabling us reach our goal of obtaining our very own vehicle.
"The benefits for our participants who engage within our programmes will be amazing.
"I personally cannot wait to take our Down's syndrome football team to the National DS Active Festival at West Bromwich Albion in March next year."

Lou Dobbs Botches Basic Fact Of Immigration Policy Change
Research ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Following the announcement that the Department of Homeland Security will stop deporting certain undocumented immigrants, Lou Dobbs incorrectly claimed on his Fox Business show that "a good portion" of those affected were "adults when they came here." In fact, the policy change applies only to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. before they were 16.
Dobbs Misreports Key Provision Of Immigration Policy Change
Dobbs: "If I Do My Math Correctly ... A Good Portion" Of Immigrants Affected By Obama's Decision "Would've Been Adults When They Came Here." On the June 18 edition of Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight, host Lou Dobbs and his guests discussed President Obama's announcement of the policy change. During the discussion, Dobbs claimed that "a good portion" of the immigrants who will no longer be considered for deportation were "adults when they came here":
ALBERTO CARDENAS JR. (guest): And, look, these are kids, obviously, who did not come in with actions of their own. They were brought here illegally by their parents. We get that. But --
DOBBS: Well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait, wait. You spent a lot of time there in the White House. I want to be sure that -- we want you with us pure here. The fact is, if the age is 16 to 30, if I do my math correctly, these -- a good portion of them would've been adults when they came here. Certainly of voting age. Let's say, 18, if they were indeed citizens. So you've got a range of 18 to 30 who would have been making some rather serious judgments as adults. Would they not? Not children, you know, with their parents sort of, you know --
CARDENAS: You're talking about the adults who brought --
DOBBS: With their parents wiping their noses.
CARDENAS: They shouldn't have done that. [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 6/18/12]
Dobbs Repeats Error, Says We're "Talking About People Up To The Age Of 30 ... More Than Half Were Adults When They Would've Entered The Country." Dobbs repeated his claim later in the broadcast during an interview with author Ron Suskind:
DOBBS: And as we are watching this president Friday pull off a -- I thought a very clever tactical move, with his order to give immunity, amnesty, to [laughing] -- as Beto Cardenas Jr. said earlier in the broadcast, to these young people who, through no choice of their own -- I mean, this White House is selling that nonsense when he's talk-- when they're talking about people up to the age of 30, down to the age of 16. That means more than half were adults when they would've entered the country. [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 6/18/12]
Policy Change Affects Only Those Who Came To U.S. As Children
NY Times: Change Affects Immigrants "Who Came To The United States Before Age 16." From The New York Times:
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children will be allowed to remain in the country without fear of deportation and able to work, under an executive action the Obama administration announced on Friday.
Under the change, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer initiate the deportation of illegal immigrants who came to the United States before age 16, have lived here for at least five years, and are in school, are high school graduates or are military veterans in good standing. The immigrants must also be under 30 and have clean criminal records. [The New York Times, 6/15/12]
CNN: Policy Applies To "People Younger Than 30 Who Came To The United States Before The Age Of 16." From CNN.com:
In an election-year policy change, the Obama administration said Friday it will stop deporting young illegal immigrants who entered the United States as children if they meet certain requirements.
The shift on the politically volatile issue of immigration policy prompted immediate praise from Latino leaders who have criticized Congress and the White House for inaction, while Republicans reacted with outrage, saying the move amounts to amnesty -- a negative buzz word among conservatives -- and usurps congressional authority.
Under the new policy, people younger than 30 who came to the United States before the age of 16, pose no criminal or security threat, and were successful students or served in the military can get a two-year deferral from deportation, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.

How do you treat constipation in toddlers?
How do you treat constipation in toddlers?
Hi Ana,
I was in this situation recently with my toddler but I am pleased to say he is pooing much easier now!....The things you say when you are a mum!
The main way in which this was resolved was by offering him more drinks of water throughout the day. He doesn't tend to drink much in one go so I now offer him very frequent sips of water throughout the day. We have also started making fresh smoothies - which he loves. You can put: strawberries, raspberries, greens, oranges, prunes, apricots etc in them and they seemed to help.
When a toddler is constipated it is useful to increase their intake of fruit and veg and decrease the amount of foods they are having which can cause the stools to become more solid. So, whilst you are waiting for the stools to return to normal, you will want to avoid offering your toddler: wholemeal bread, bananas, pasta, yoghurt etc. It is also useful to encourage your toddler to eat little and often throughout the day.
If it is an ongoing problem then it is advisable to check with your doctor/ health visitor.
Also, if your toddler is currently finding going to the toilet uncomfortable then they may put off doing a poo which will unfortunately mean that the food stays longer in the intestines and gets harder, thus, the constipation worsens. It can become a viscous cycle. To break this cycle you need to help your toddler to learn to relax during pooing and to not stop themselves pooing. You can help them to do this but letting them poo in a warm bath if they are very constipated as this will help them to relax and make it easier. You can also massage their tummy and move their legs in a cycling motion to help things along.
Let us know how you get on,
Hi Ana,
LJ had some excellent suggestions!
I've actually had to resort to inserting a suppository in the rectum when my child has become constipated. But I only have to do this once, then it relieves the "congestion" and they go normally after this.
Prunes and prune juice are excellent to get things moving along. You can soften prunes (make sure they don't have pits) in warm water for 30 minutes, then cut up into little bites. Or, if your child likes applesauce, you can mix pureed prunes (or babyfood prunes) in with some applesauce or give it to them without the applesauce - just pureed prunes. I didn't try this when my children were young (might have solved the problem without having to use a suppository), but it works very well.
More water, more fruits and vegetables, less crackers/cookies/white rice and everything else LJ mentioned above should help to keep your toddler from becoming constipated.
Warm regards,
Hi LJ & Kate,
I'm really very happy to have joined this forum. I am learning a lot. I'll get back to you if the "pooing situation" gets better.
Hi Ana,
Any update on the constipation? Have you tried anything yet, and is it helping at all? If you haven't tried anything yet, let us know and we'll try to give more ideas.
Warm regards,
Hi Kate,
My daughter is better now, thanks to all your help! I tried increasing her water intake but I didn't see major results right away so I tried offering her some prune juice (while still continuing her water intake). That did the trick! I'm watching what she eats now and I'm observing if there are any particular food that may change her poo. I'm still letting her drink more water now.
Great - sounds like you're on the right track! Thanks so much for posting an update.
Warm regards,
Glad to hear everything is resolved! Was going to advice apple or prune juice and an increase in water. That usually does the trick for my little ones. I have also heard to add a little bit of corn syrup to their drink, though I do not know much about it and would probably save it for a last resort.

The group that formally opposes the Tyler ISD bond says that new facilities will not address what they feel are the real concerns.
In fact, that group has several main complaints. The first complaint is what they consider low academic achievement district-wide. They also point to rampant discipline problems. Then, there are the teachers who feel they are not respected by the administration.
The formal opposition, called "No More Excuses, Tyler ISD!" feels that if the bond passes now, all leverage to get these internal issues addressed will be gone.
The teachers who are experiencing the problems first-hand have remained silent for fear of losing their jobs or retaliation by the district. But now, they've chosen to speak up. A majority of those teachers asked to remain anonymous.
The teachers agreed to talk about the things going on within the walls of their schools that they feel the administration does not want the public to know about. The teachers who spoke with us are from different campuses, and do not know the identities of the other teachers that came forward to talk about their concerns.
"The greatest struggle we have as teachers, is that there seems to be an effort to cover up how much of a discipline problem there is in the individual school. It's not a healthy place to work anymore. It's not a fun place. They are taking the joy and the passion from many excellent teachers," says one teacher who spoke with us under the condition that they remain anonymous.
This teacher says teachers no longer feel safe in their own classrooms.
"It's not only frustrating, it's frightening because we have many teachers, male and female, who have been threatened. We've had serious threats that have been ignored and swept under the rug because they don't want to follow through on the paperwork which would ultimately let the Texas Education Agency have an understanding of how bad things really are," says the teacher.
These teachers say their greatest struggle comes from a lack of support from administrators when it comes to discipline and education.
"The only thing that seems to matter to the administration is whether or not they're going to get a lawsuit against them," says the teacher.
We asked a different teacher, "Do you think that teachers within TISD feel comfortable approaching administrators with their concerns?" That teacher answered, "No. Teachers do not feel comfortable. We've tried that for the last three and a half and four years and there isn't a single administrator that has ever responded," the teacher says.
Teachers say that the teachers who do speak out, get "blacklisted", reassigned and refused the transfers they want.
"They don't want you talking to parents. They don't want you to speak to anybody else," says a teacher.
Teachers say the environment within the district has resulted in teachers seeking employment in other districts or retiring early. One of those teachers is Sheryl Chester.
"I thought I wanted to teach for two more years," says Sheryl.
After 33 years with Tyler ISD, she says she was bullied into early retirement.
"If the walls could talk and if these teachers were not afraid of losing their jobs, they would be here, but they know they're going to be bullied. They know they're going to be harassed and it is allowed," she says.
Sheryl says she had nightmares about district administrators and the way she and some of her peers were treated.
"I've seen double standards. There are those that can get away with practically anything," she says.
Sheryl says what breaks her heart, and so many others' is the restrictions put on teachers teaching that result in a lack of learning.
"I look at teachers now and everything is dictated to them. They're like robots. They can't teach," Sheryl says.
"For the last 5 years we've gone from acceptable and recognized, to failing and I know that has not been addressed. Since the advent of CSCOPE, we have continuously... even perpetually slid academically downhill," says a Tyler ISD teacher.
"They're ignoring the teachers and not paying attention to us. They say we're important, but their actions say otherwise," says another teacher.
The teachers say they acknowledge that the discipline at some TISD campuses is in much better shape than their own, but they say that the problems they describe are district-wide.

Fads From The 90s That We Should Never Bring Back
Well it's safe to say that the 90's are the new 80's. When it comes to music, fashion and cultural touchstones more and more people reference the 90's when mentioning the word "throwback". So does that mean we are going to see what we saw when people "brought the 80's back" a few years ago ?

I just watched the YouTube clip of the overall 50 mile winner at NF New York : http://youtu.be/b6p1CtmPKSU and it makes me wonder about these event trails. Imagine if he hits his head on one of those rocks. That's a serious injury. Are the race directors thinking about participant safety when they pick the various courses?
I'm sure everyone wants a "technical challenge" and falling on the trail is just part of the event. With all the suing these days for negligence, how soon will it be before a participant seriously gets injured on something so rocky that it's not a trail at all and sues the race.
What's everyone's thoughts? Sure the answer is just go slower but you can see relatively that really doesn't matter too much as he was going pretty slow for his overall speed on the course and still fell.
On On
Not sure I exactly understand your concern here. Are you saying that there is an underlying danger to trail running and the runner needs to be cautious? I would say that the same is true with road running as well. Is there a greater danger of tripping on rocks while trail running than on roads, probably.
I don't know how soon it will be before a runner decides that the trail was the problem and it is someone elses fault he/she fell. I have seen people fall off a paved path in the middle of the night when they are tired, is that the RD's fault too?
Not arguing with you really, just wondering what you think is the solution?

We all sign waivers...whether that holds up in court or not I can't say.
This happens with those obstacle races all the time. In those cases, the injured parties generally allege that the man-made hazards were not safe...that's a little different than natural occuring hazards.
I think tripping hazards while running any type of race are "inherent dangers of the sport". The RD's would probably only have to show that they provided fair warning that there were hazards associated with their event...i.e. the waiver.
You can sue for anything...I hope it never happens.

A man may never run the same trail twice for it is not the same trail and he is not the same man
I fell and broke my arm in a trail race - I would never think to blame the race or RD - All I could think was about coing back the next year to get my revenge on the trail.
Maybe you mean what would the normal person expect as precautions when the trail is specially narly? I do not expect anything ~ I run on the same trails by myself and often at night by myself, I know there is some risk and I am responsible to keep in control. I guess race directors could mandate carrying a cell phone? I would not like that. Maybe they should place signs before the narly section that says "He stupid - pick up you feet"? Just kidding - But that is what I say to myself when I trip.

Not sure you aren't fishing for something else.
My take is that if you watch that video and your first thought is to post something about safety and liability, you should probably stick to 5k Marathons...
Otherwise, enjoy the trails and be careful.
""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)
"Something so rocky that it's not a trail at all" = My definition of a trail.
I fall almost every day, why wait for the race
To be honest ~ it's not the severly rocky sections that get me ... I tend to stay extra alert in these sections. It is the smooth sections that lull me into being lazy about paying attention and then a rock or root will sneak up and grab my shoe
If I run trails 4-5 hours I will fall on average 1-2 times. In a race it is usually because I am tired and I get lazy - I fall about the same frequency in a 8 hour race
"Something so rocky that it's not a trail at all" = My definition of a trail.
I fall almost every day, why wait for the race
That trail is not overly technical. This is technical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OsL6brYV-I
Nevertheless, someone having a severe medical problem or injury, and getting sued later, is the Race Director's worst nightmare. For example:
… A runner who collapses because race organizers failed to set out enough drinks along the course has grounds for a lawsuit, a state appellate court ruled Tuesday. An organization that stages a marathon "Has a duty to organize and conduct a reasonably safe event, which requires it to minimize the risks without altering the nature of the sport," said the Court of Appeal in San Diego. That includes providing adequate water and electrolyte fluids along the 26- mile course, the court said."
The runner involved ran the inaugural Rock & Roll Marathon in San Diego in 1998. Later that day the man had a seizure from low sodium, a condition called hyponatremia.
Presumably the later stations had plenty of water but ran out of sports drink.
There is additional commentary on this story from the trail ultra perspective here:
No waiver is iron-clad, but the Court's language is an important clue: "...minimize the risks without altering the nature of the sport." I read this as a Race Director would have to be guilty of gross negligence in the cause of the illness or injury, pretty much just like any other business.
Thanks for all the comments. I was just interested in folks various thoughts as I'm very new to the whole ultra/trail game and was curious.
It seems falling is just what happens on the trail and can even occur in a road race. I would think falling on pavement at running pace is not as dangerous as falling in the middle of a rocky section at a slower pace but maybe falling is falling.
I like the idea of signage or something in the lead-up to the race to make "newbies" aware of technical sections. It's kindof like scary descents in triathlons on the bike or during cycling races that are marked.
For all the people who commented that they fall all the time, do you like falling? Would you rather not fall? Is it just because you're going extra fast and it's part of trail running?
I guess falling just goes in the "con" list for trail running as it might just be part of it no matter how careful you try to be. Sortof like crashing in cycling races, it just happens no matter how careful you are.
As I said - I fall usually in a less technical section when I get lazy and get into my head daydreaming. I usually do not fall on technical questions. I find the question "Do you like to fall" a bit insulting. The more trail running I do the less I fall. In a trail race, when I am really tired I have walked a really technical rock garden section ... because it was the safe thing to do.
It's all about qucik feet and shorter steps

It wasn't meant to be a personal attack. It was the responder above who basically said they fall almost every day. It was more of that perhaps falling is just "normal" when on the trails as it's almost impossible to be "careful" enough. Like you said even non-technical trails lulls into a just cruise mode where just a small root can get ya.
So if you like trail running, falling is just part of it was my question/thought and just a poor choice of words.
To a point - Yes. I happen to shuffle my feet more than most (Shuffle fast) so I fall more than many seasoned trail runners. Also the more experience you get the more likely you see things out of the corner of you eyes without trying and avoid them.
If you are a newer trail runner or a shuffler - Yes you will fall some.
I used to fall more, now I fall less.
1. I read the trail better/faster...only comes with practice I believe.
2. I pick my feet up more...started as a conscious decision, now it just happens
3. Stronger ankles...rolling the ankle used to be more frequent and a bigger deal, strength training and practice has helped with this.
4. Stronger core...there are times that in the past I would have gone down, but now with a stronger core I can feel my abs pulling me back upright.
Before I started running trails on a pretty regular basis, I considered falling/risk of injury to be a much bigger deal than I do now.
No, I don't like falling...yes, I do love running across something that would seem unrunnable to a bystander.
PS. I've never fallen on a very technical section...the focus level is too high. Like dopplebock, my spills come when I am being complacent....road or trail.
For all the people who commented that they fall all the time, do you like falling? Would you rather not fall? Is it just because you're going extra fast and it's part of trail running?
I guess falling just goes in the "con" list for trail running as it might just be part of it no matter how careful you try to be. Sortof like crashing in cycling races, it just happens no matter how careful you are.
I live in south central PA, and trails here are very rocky and can be quite steep. Most of my falls are on uphill or flat sections where rocks will move under my foot. I can't say I "like" falling, but it doesn't bother or stop me.
It doesn't help that I have been a downhill skier for over 40 years, and love running downhill faster than I should.
Here is where I ran today. AT south of Route 30 near Chambersburg, PA. Yes, that is the trail, and it's like this for over 4 miles.
Life is dangerous and 100% terminal... oh well.

Competition runs through Oct. 28, grand-prize winner receives $10,000 scholarship.
DALLAS – Daltile is pleased to announce the second annual Daltile Interior Design Scholarship, presented by the ASID Foundation. Once again, the scholarship is being offered to students studying interior design and will be determined through a design competition, but with a new format and new challenges and criteria. Students will compete for more than $25,000 in scholarships, with the grand prize winner receiving a $10,000 scholarship.
This year's challenge is to design a bathroom that addresses the needs of multi-generational users and exhibits excellence in design and creativity. Student designs can span commercial or residential interior design, and can focus on any category of design. Entries will be judged on the space's functional design, aesthetic design, and creative use of Daltile's newest product offerings.
The competition will be hosted on Daltile's Facebook page to create a more engaging environment for students to participate in and spectators to watch. This will also allow the public to view the entries and comment on them. The 10 Merit prize winners will be determined by popular vote on the Facebook page.
"We are thrilled to once again partner with The ASID Foundation in a joint effort to advance education and excellence in the interior design industry," says Lori Kirk-Rolley, senior marketing director for Daltile. "This year's competition raises the bar by asking students to provide a design solution to a common challenge. We're also raising the profile of the competition by hosting it on our Facebook page, allowing architects, designers and the general public to see the work of these talented students."
"Today more than ever, the spaces we live and work in must be designed to accommodate the broadest range of people, recognizing all levels of ability or mobility, age, gender and physical stature, " says Donna Vining, FASID, IIDA, RID CAPS, ASID Foundation chair-elect. "It is through the principles of universal design that an interior design can create environments to allow every client to live a better, happier and healthier life. Through the competition, we hope to encourage and empower students to tackle new trends and think about unseen future needs."
In the design competition, students are required to use at least one of Daltile's newest product lines, including natural stone and slabs. Aside from this requirement, students may choose from Daltile's entire product portfolio. The Daltile Interior Design Scholarship, presented by the ASID foundation began on Sept. 1 and will run through Oct. 28, 2012. The grand-prize winner of the competition will receive a $10,000 scholarship. First-, Second- and Third-prize winners will each receive a $2,500 scholarship, and ten Merit Winners will each receive $1,000 in scholarships.
Information, including complete rules and regulations are available at facebook.com/daltile.

One week after a deadly Brookfield spa shooting, Gov. Scott Walker says Wisconsin needs to tighten its domestic violence laws.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Walker said the state didn't do enough on the local level to enforce domestic violence laws, and didn't do enough to stand up for victims.
Last Sunday, Radcliffe Haugton shot seven women at the Azana Salon & Spa. Three died, including his estranged wife, Zina, before Haugton killed himself.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/XFiKUp ) that over the past decade, police were called to the couple's home 20 times -- seven for possible domestic violence. They never made an arrest.
Walker did not say what he wants changed, but said efforts to make the laws stronger need to come from local, state and federal levels.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 21 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Spott3r Good for light layering Haven't needed to clean it yet, but hopefully, that will go well. October 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Tatoolady Where is the down? The lightweight blanket was a disappointment as I own two others that are ten years old and better quality than the Linen Source product. The down was not distributed evenly and it seemed like there was no down in some of the quilted squares. I own better blankets to serve the In between season periods. I will be returning this product for a refund.i October 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Vikk Waste of Money :( I wasted money on this one.....I got it and was stiff and almost crinkly, so I decided to wash it to "soften" it up. It still sounds like paper and feels rough. Perfect color though.....sadly it will sit unused. September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Okie60 I am extremely pleased. This blanket is not only beautiful, but is the perfect weight. I live in OK and it is pretty hot here right now. We keep our thermostat on 72 year round and I was afraid it would be too heavy, but I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I both love it. You will not regret purchasing it. July 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by coop54 This product is the perfect weight for year round I needed a blanket that I could use all year and this product is what I was looking for. I have a down comforter and it is just to warm, this blanket is perfect. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Debijo I love this blanket! This blanket is perfect for napping or adding extra warmth on a cold night. It's big enough to wrap around head to toe and feel like you are napping in a cloud! I've bought three of them to have around the house. They are machine-washable and come in great colors at a good price. May 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Mamaof5 OK, but not great. I bought this down blanket in the "red" color. The color looks quite washed out as if it had already been laundered many times - like a vintage tomato-juice red. I was expecting something different. It also sheds feathers. After laundering and drying in dryer with tennis balls, it came out very wrinkled. If this is the look you want, then, I would rate it a 4. May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Malarky1 Very nicely constructed-perfect 4spring/fall! I have ordered many items from Linen Source and have never been disappointed with the colors or the quality. April 12, 2014

Two would-be police officers have run-ins with the law
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 1:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 2:51 p.m.
Two police academy recruits were arrested Saturday in connection with different offenses.
Johan Martinez, 24, of 3000 SW 35th Place, is an academy recruit from Orlando, Gainesville Police Department spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said. Martinez was arrested and charged around 4 a.m. with unarmed burglary and petty theft.
Robert Goodman, 25, of 4800 NE 70th Ave. in High Springs, is a recruit from a police academy in Ocala, Tobias said. He was charged with resisting arrest without violence around 2:30 a.m.
"It's quite the anomaly to have a case involving the arrest for a police recruit," Tobias said, "much less two in one night."
According to an arrest report, Martinez and his ex-girlfriend got into an argument outside the woman's apartment, and he beat on the door irate that she wouldn't let him inside.
Martinez climbed onto the second-story awning up a lattice, the report said, and beat on the glass of the window, cracking it. Martinez opened the window, and the victim closed it and told him not to come in, the report said.
He opened the window again and entered while the victim screamed for him to leave. Martinez then followed the victim into the kitchen and took the victim's house key off her key chain. The victim called police, the report said, and Martinez was found nearby in the apartment complex.
After his arrest, Martinez told police he entered the apartment because he wanted to show the victim she could not keep him out.
The second police recruit arrest of the night happened about an hour later. Police responded to College Park Apartments, 1900 NW Third Avenue, in reference to a report of men loudly destroying a fence in the area. When they arrived, a man told them the men responsible had fled into a nearby apartment when he called 911.
Officers went to the apartment, and a man named Mark Anthony Lee Jr., 22, came out. During the interview, Goodman came out and told Lee he didn't have to talk to the police and should come inside, Tobias said. An officer grabbed Lee to keep him outside, and Goodman grabbed Lee's shoulder to pull him in. Police subdued Lee, Tobias said, and tried to get Goodman out of the apartment. Goodman tried to shut the door in an officer's face but was pulled outside and leg swept after he refused to sit down.
Both men were arrested, and Goodman told officers he was associated with the police academy in Ocala and had applied to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Goodman's bond was set at $2,000, and he was no longer in jail on Monday. Martinez also had been released by Monday afternoon.
Tobias said the actions of the men don't represent the conduct of police officers.
"GPD is more than happy to weed out recruits like this," he said. "If they can't follow the law themselves, how do they expect to enforce it?"

Beer connoisseurs who turned out in force to sample real ale, cider and perry at Ilkley Beer Festival have helped organisers raise thousands of pounds for good causes.
The successful festival, organised by Ilkley Round Table, attracted more than 2,500 people at the Kings Hall and Winter Garden, Station Road, Ilkley, on February 7 and 8.
Over the four sessions, 18,000 pints were consumed, along with more than 3,500 plus pies and pasties.
Ilkley's newest brewery, Wharfedale Brewery, housed at the back of the Flying Duck pub in Church Street, launched a tribute ale in celebration of Geoffrey Vere, one of the town's most community-focused people.
The beer, described as a premium, golden pale ale is called Sir Geoff – the nickname given to the fundraising stalwart by Round Table members.
And the Leeds Male Voice Choir on Saturday afternoon was well received in the Winter Gardens and a brass band on Friday and Saturday night also went down a storm.
Daniel Gray, of Ilkley Round Table said: "The Round Table would just like to say a big thank you to the people of Ilkley in supporting this event and to all those people who gave their time and effort in helping to organise the festival.
"Many, many people help in building and staffing the event. Without all this support the festival wouldn't be possible."
The festival is the Round Table's biggest annual fundraiser, collecting money for local causes.
Although it will be a while before the books are balanced, organisers expect to have raised in the order of £40,000.
Ilkley Round Table has approved funding for many good causes, including £600 towards a baby sling "library" in Ilkley, where baby carriers are hired out to parents; £750 to Ilkley Good Neighbours for their over-90s party and parcels; £6,500 to LS29 to pay for specialist equipment for youngsters with disabilities and summer outings for the children and £4,000 to Otley and District Riding for the Disabled.
To apply for a share of the funds e-mail: communityservice@ilkley roundtable.org.uk All applications will be considered by Ilkley Round Table.

A sandwich covered in blood is frightening, even to meat lovers. Thankfully, raspberry puree makes a gory enough stand-in so you don't have to use actual blood and guts to make Nadia G's scary sandwich. If you left it plain, it would be a fancified cheese sandwich, but with a few slashes of the knife, this sandwich gets dressed as a blood-drenched coffin for Halloween.
Double-Decker Coffin Sandwiches
Recipe courtesy Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen
Makes: 8 servings
2 cups fresh basil, packed
1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 loaf Pumpernickel bread, sliced 1/3″ thick
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 cup almond slivers, toasted
1 cup Alfalfa sprouts
8 McIntosh apples, sliced 1/4″ thick
1 cup aged cheddar cheese, crumbled small
1 cup fresh raspberries, pureed (optional)
In a food processor add: fresh basil, grated parmesan, garlic, and toasted pine nuts. Begin pulsing the ingredients. While pulsing, slowly add olive oil in a steady stream until smooth. Set aside.
Shkiaffing it Together:
Cut the pumpernickel slices into coffin shapes. (You can set the trimmings aside for homemade croutons.) On each slice of bread, slather a teaspoon of mayo, a teaspoon of pesto, sprinkle on a tablespoon of toasted almond slivers, add pinch of Alfalfa sprouts, a layer of sliced McIntosh apples (about half an apple), and a tablespoon of crumbled cheddar.
Place another coffin-shaped bread slice on top and repeat the process for another layer. Top it off with a coffin-shaped slice of bread, and drizzle with pureed raspberries for one bloody delicious sandwich!

Lady Eleanor Holles Boat Club's rowers were the stars of the show as they claimed not one, but two Varsity scalps at Kingston Regatta last Saturday.
The Hampton-based intermediate girls coxed four crew beat Cambridge in their first heat before beating Oxford in the final – having edged out hosts Kingston Boat Club in the semis.
The crew's coach Lucy Walczak, absent due to Molesey Boat Club commitments, was not there to see it, but assistant coach Andrew James could not hide his delight.
"It was a fantastic result for the girls," he said.
"All of the girls were either national schools champions or national schools medallists this year and this is a the icing on the cake.
"It is a heck of an achievement. The Cambridge and Oxford girls are not all Blues but are part of the squad and are all much older."
Sixty-three trophies were handed out across the weekend as more than 480 crews – featuring 1,290 rowers in 329 races – took part in the annual two day regatta. LEH went on to claim the Victor Ludorum prize for most successful club on Sunday, having seen Walton Rowing Club and Cambridge University Women's Boat Club share the prize on the Saturday.
Twelve men's crews and five women's crews competed in the Diamond Jubilee Invitation Sprint Eights with Pembroke College winning the men's final and Cambridge University Women's BC beating Lady Eleanor Holles School in the women's race.

Gas prices expected to inch up for July 4th weekend
Published: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 12:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 12:01 p.m.
Southeast gas prices remained relatively stable from last week after oil prices fell following an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar.
Average price for a gallon of regular gasoline
Monday: $3.567
Week earlier: $3.611
Month earlier: $3.641
Year earlier: $3.420
Monday: $3.504
Week earlier: $3.520
Month earlier: $3.485
Year earlier: $3.264
Source: AAA
Prices at the pump are expected to rise slightly as the July 4th holiday weekend approaches, experts say.
"Although gas prices in the Southeast remained relatively stable from last week, it wouldn't be surprising to see gas prices inch up slightly before the holiday weekend," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman with The Auto Club Group. "Even though pump prices are higher than they were this time last year, they are not expected to deter holiday travelers."
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline was $3.57 on Monday, 4 cents less than on last Monday. Florida's average of $3.50 fell nearly 2 cents. Georgia's average price for a gallon of gas was $3.43, 3 cents less than on last Monday.
In Gainesville, the average price of a gallon of regular on Monday was $3.56, down nearly a penny from last week, according to www.gasbuddy.com. Prices ranged from $3.43 to $3.69.
In Ocala, the average price of a gallon of regular on Monday was $3.49 on Monday, according to the crowd-sourcing website. Prices ranged as low as $3.30 a gallon.
The cost for a barrel of oil closed last Friday at $93.69 on the New York Mercantile Exchange — $4.16 less than the week prior.
