Lauren Alaina Speaks Out About Father's Alcoholism in 'Same Day, Different Bottle'
Lauren Alaina has experienced a lot in her 19 years. The songstress was the runner-up in Season 10 of 'American Idol,' released her debut album, 'Wildflower,' which landed in the Top 5, and toured with both Sugarland and Jason Aldean.
But while the young singer's career was exploding, she was dealing with a private pain in her family. Her father was fighting, and sometimes losing, his battle with alcoholism. It was a chapter in her life she didn't feel comfortable opening up about, until now.
Alaina poured out her experience of having her father fight the addiction in her new song, 'Same Day, Different Bottle.' The performance above was captured at the CMT Next Women of Country brunch on Monday (Nov. 4). Alaina hopes to record the song for her upcoming sophomore album.
"That song was like therapy for me," she tells Yahoo! Music. "It's not easy growing up in a household with something like that. I love my dad — he's one of my favorite people in the world — and he's a great person. He just struggled with alcohol, and he's overcoming it right now, so I'm really proud of him."
The Georgia native, who co-wrote the song with Caitlyn Smith and Dan Couch, says the song was important for her, whether or not it is ever released as a single.
Though writing the song was therapeutic, Alaina wasn't sure she wanted to even bring it up to her co-writers at first. "Because I never, ever even talked about my dad drinking — ever — to anyone," she shares. "Some of my best friends that I grew up with didn't know; he went to work every day."
Her father recently completed a stint in rehab, earning high praise from his daughter. "Today is a new beginning for him," she boasts. "It's gonna be a battle for the rest of his life, but I'm going to be right there with him, and pray that every day he doesn't want to drink it up and touch a bottle. I hope it's no longer the same day, different bottle. Different day, no bottle!"
As for her relationship with her father, who she has yet to see since he got out of rehab, she says 'Same Day, Different Bottle' has already opened up their communication.
"In a weird way, I think it helped my dad and helped me," she notes. "It's a sticky situation to talk about, but so many people are affected by it. It's my situation and there's nothing I can do about it, except pray that he stays sober and continues the fight every day. I wrote the song while he was in recovery, about how I felt for so long."
The song has already been affecting people, but perhaps none quite as much as her father. "I played him the song, and he loved it," she recalls. "It made him cry."

Outdoors notebook: No wild pheasants again this year
It doesn't look like Pennsylvania is going to get any wild birds for its pheasant recovery areas.
The Game Commission and Pheasants Forever have been trying for years to bring wild pheasants from the Midwest to Pennsylvania for release into these areas, which have been the site of intense habitat work and are closed to hunting. The idea has been to see if the birds could take root to the point of offering huntable populations.
The commission got a few hundred birds in the first couple of years of the program. But it hasn't gotten any since 2011, and it doesn't look like it's going to get any this winter, either. The commission is going to go through the process of asking for birds, said spokesman Travis Lau, but no one is hopeful.
"They've pretty much told us 'no' this year," Cal DuBrock, director of the commission's bureau of wildlife management, said of his counterparts in those potential supply states.
Those states count their pheasant populations in the hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of birds.
But their populations are down significantly as a result of several bad winters, and for "public relations" reasons they can't part with even a few hundred, DuBrock said.
Concerted effort
Operation Talon was a bigger success than ever this year.
That's the name given to a one-night, statewide law enforcement operation coordinated by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. It involves law enforcement officers from the agency, as well as from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, state police, state parks and forests and others.
The operation resulted in 344 citations for game law violations, along with 140 warnings, said Rich Palmer, head of the commission's bureau of wildlife protection.
Last year, the operation resulted in 295 citations and 102 warnings.
The increase is not so much as reflection of more illegal activity as it is a case of having more officers involved, he said. That involved surveillance from aircraft.
Urban wildlife
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is taking the wilds to the people.
The agency has launched an "Urban Wildlife Refuge Initiative" to make its programs more relevant to the 80 percent of Americans who live in big and small cities. It will focus on exposing them to birding, fishing, hunting, hiking, canoeing and more. Details can be found at americaswildlife.org.
New role
Doug Austen, a previous executive director of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission who resigned after his board tried to force him out, has resurfaced.
Austen has been named executive director of the American Fisheries Society, the "world's largest and oldest organization of professional fish and fishery scientists and managers."

Great instructional video showing the Push-Pull two handed grip by Lee Laster from Expert Village. As with his other instructional shooting videos, Lee gives a concise but clear demonstration of the two handed push-pull method for stabilization of the firearm. The push-pull method helps steady the sights on-target, allows your upper body to absorb the recoil, and believe it or not, combats arm fatigue. I've personally found that this method corrects my "oversqueeze" that tends to put my groupings a little left and low. Utilizing Lee's methods has helped me become very good at shooting out the centers of my targets. If you want the best firearm training available, check out FrontSight!

Mr. SCALISE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding.
I rise in strong support of this rule. And as a proud cosponsor of this bill to repeal ObamaCare, I think it is very important that we in this House have this vote. Yes, we've had this vote many times. I think it's important to have it again this Congress because so much more has come to light since the last time that this vote was held in the last Congress. What are some of those things? Well, of course, when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, she famously said, ``You have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.''
Well, we're seeing more and more every day just how many devastating things are happening in our economy because of ObamaCare. In fact, how bad is it? It's so bad that one of the Senate architects of the bill, Senator Max Baucus, said: ``I see a huge train wreck coming down.''
Now, when they were in the back room writing this bill, he was the guy with the pen. He wrote the bill in the Senate, and he said it's a train wreck coming down.
Why would we want to do this to the American people? The system of health care that we have today has some problems, but why would you want to destroy the things that work? You fix the things that work.
This bill, ObamaCare, is actually scheduled to increase health care costs dramatically for American families. In fact, what will it do to our health care system? And this is what families are finding out, all across not just southeast Louisiana, the area that I represent, but all across the country. This chart shows all of the different Federal agencies that come in between a patient and their doctor in health care. It used to be the patient talking to the doctor, and they made the health care decision. That was the sacred relationship in health care. Now you've got all of these Federal agencies.
And who's at the top? The IRS. The IRS is the enforcement arm of ObamaCare. And, of course, just in the last few days we've seen the corruption at the IRS where they've literally gone and picked winners and losers, picked partisan fights, and literally tried to enforce the Obama administration's will, punishing the enemies of the Obama administration. This is not the agency that should be running health care.
We need to repeal this law and fix the real problems in health care.

Direct Selling Goes Southern
Direct sales in cosmetics is dominated by Avon and Mary Kay, two companies synonymous with in-home cosmetics shopping. It would seem to be a hard market to crack. Yet, for the creator of Henry Beautiful, it is the market to which she is drawn.
"Women from where I am from have limited accessibility to high-end products," said Benton Jordan Weinstock, founder of Henry Beautiful Products. Born and raised in Helena, Arkansas, Weinstock was taught by her grandmother that true beauty emanates from within, while her mother taught her that a good moisturizer and lipstick don't hurt. While living in Helena, Weinstock went to Memphis, Tennessee, for her skin care fix, and thought it would be great if someone brought high-quality skin care directly to her door. Weinstock decided to transition this idea into reality. The development stage for her products took three years of hard work that produced the line and direct selling business plan.
Henry Beautiful products use natural ingredients—including "The Henry Brew" consisting of silybum extract, milk thistle extract, EGCG, matrixyl 3000 and coenzyme Q-10. "While there are obviously other beneficial ingredients in these products, this is the main combination of active components that really has an antiaging effect," said Weinstock. "While the components do not necessarily lighten or brighten, they improve overall skin tone and create the glowing effect of a great complexion."
Henry Beautiful products, according to the company, contain quality ingredients with proven results. But for Weinstock, the proof is in the retention of the company's stylists. "If you build trust with them, the retention rate is better," she said.

The Rough Riders, behind three first-half goals, defeated neighboring Stow 4-0 Thursday afternoon to extend their winning streak to four in a row.
"This is what I expected from the girls," said Kristen Kalinowski, Roosevelt's third-year coach. "This group of girls is really focused, hard-working and they really work well together. It's not over (though) ... we're not overlooking anyone we have yet to face, but I have confidence that they'll stay strong."
Roosevelt is now 5-2-2 in the Northeastern Ohio Field Hockey league with three matches remaining.
Thursday's win came exactly one week after the Rough Riders' 2-1 upset victory over powerful Hudson, undoubtedly the turning point of the season for Roosevelt.
"The girls have been very consistent. The Hudson game really boosted their spirits," said Kalinowski. "We have a few nagging injuries and everybody got a chance to play today, and that helps. It's hard to point to one girl because they all have been consistent."
Stow (1-5-1) started the match well and swarmed around Roosevelt goalie Morgan Chestnutwood early on. However, the Bulldogs could not get any real quality shots on net.
"I think the girls just needed to get into the groove. It takes them a few minutes sometimes, unfortunately," said Kalinowski. "They like to excite me for a few minutes, keep me on my toes."
Roosevelt then picked up its game and put the first tally on the board less than eight minutes into the opening half when Maya Gilbert tapped home a pass from Andrea Easterday, beating Stow netminder Chrissy Weber.
Four minutes later, it was Weber who played a crucial role in Roosevelt's second goal.
Trying to clear the ball in front of her own goal, Weber inadvertently advanced the ball with her hand. While allowed to handle the ball, a goalie, however, must drop the ball immediately. The miscue gave Roosevelt's Stasia Burroughs a penalty shot.
Burroughs, standing about 15 feet in front of Weber, successfully chipped the ball into the left corner of the net to double Roosevelt's advantage to 2-0.
Moments after the goal, Stow had its best chance of the match when a cluster around Chestnutwood produced a shot that went just wide of an open net.
That missed opportunity was magnified in the waning minutes of the half when Gilbert set up Kyle Rumsey, who was stationed on the right side of the net for a 3-0 lead.
Megan Johns finished the Rough Riders' scoring with an unassisted goal with 18:52 remaining in the second half, a half Roosevelt pretty much dominated.
Called on at the end to make a couple of stops, Chestnutwood (eight saves) did so and notched her second shutout of the season, albeit not at 100 percent.
"She's an excellent goalkeeper," said Kalinowski. "She's actually injured right now, but she played through it. She really controls the backfield."
Stow outshot Roosevelt 18-16, but many of those shots occurred in the early part of the game. Weber recorded 10 saves.
Kent Roosevelt 4, Stow 0

THE BRIEF mention in Wednesday's issue of the pop-up exhibition for the Newport Ship at the Senedd smacks to me of desperation. The antics of Councillor Charles Ferris in fancy dress and striking false coins in all directions tend only to confirm this. Charles, don't you think the clock is ticking overtime on this over-subsidised obsession? Get a grip, old son.
Job losses, food banks, and derelict shops; aren't these far more pressing needs to be addressed than a waterlogged hulk of dubious provenance? We in Newport have increasingly limited resources to put things right. For Heaven's sake, let's draw in those limits a little more responsibly before we all fly off into cloud-cuckoo land.

Mayhem # 1881967
About MeMy very first photo-shoot I had at summer 2003. Since this time I have had over 400 shootings with a lot of photographers, not only in Germany.
I love slipping into other worlds and beeing another person while standing in the photo-set.
I'm very creative, my posing is self-contained and I also can style myself (but of course not as good as a professional MUA does).
I especially love gothic, fetish and nude, but as you can see on my pictures, I also do Fashion- & Beauty-Shoots. :-)
I'm a very dominant person and I use to say "No", if I mean "no".
I'm always searching for new shootings with photographers (usually payed projects) or for some designers, which want to do some shoots with me and my husband (photographer "blende666").

I don't know if you are misreading the situation; only God knows your friend's true feelings. It's possible, for example, that focusing on her dog's death keeps her from thinking about the greater pain of her husband's death.
But sadly, it's also possible that your observation is correct. Sometimes people do love their animals more than their spouses, or other people who are close to them. Perhaps a relationship is difficult or has grown cold; perhaps someone simply finds it easier to meet a pet's needs than to bother with those of another person. The Bible talks about a time when, "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold" (Matthew 24:12).
However, it shouldn't be this way. We need other people -- and they need us. I grew up on a farm and have had pets all my life, and I still enjoy their company. But God did not intend for them to be a substitute for other people. In the Garden of Eden, Adam was surrounded by all the animals God had made, but that was not enough. The Bible says that God declared, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him" (Genesis 2:18).
Pray for your neighbor, and do what you can to be a friend to her. Most of all, encourage her to find her hope and peace in Christ, who alone can turn our darkness into light.

It's a topic as old as time that rears its head throughout the year and intensifies during the twice-yearly fashion weeks with criticism this time aimed directly at Myer ambassador Jodi Anasta (nee Gordon).
The former Home and Away actress and model has been criticised for her weight over recent months during which time she has split with husband of three years, retired Roosters star Braith Anasta. Disapproval has peaked for the 31-year-old's physique ahead of the Myer Autumn 2016 Fashion Launch on Thursday in Sydney that Anasta is scheduled to attend alongside face of the department store Jennifer Hawkins, fellow ambassador Rachael Finch and guest Shanina Shaik.
A piece in the The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday wrote about Jodi Anasta's "skeletal frame" and referred to an unnamed source as saying she was "urgently encouraged [by Myer] to start eating". However, Myer rebuffed such claims by revealing to Fairfax Media that they have re-newed her contract for another 12 months.
"It's important for us to have healthy brand ambassadors and models to showcase our range of fashion. We are comfortable with our current group of ambassadors," a Myer spokesperson added.
Anasta's manager, Sean Anderson, also contradicted the reports and said they "haven't received any communication from Myer regarding Jodi's weight."
"Jodi is aware that her weight is of interest to the media and appreciates the concern. She is doing her very best as a single working mum," he added.
No stranger to criticism over her weight, Cassi Van Den Dungen, former Australia's Next Top Model runner-up, who has walked for Miu Miu, Calvin Klein and Ellery, defended Anasta, saying: "Body shaming is wrong in any form."
After walking for Alex Perry in April 2014, the designer appeared on television to label choosing Van Den Dungen as a "serious lapse of judgment".
"I look at the images and recoil from it," Perry told Nine's Today at the time. "It's not an image I think is a good one to put forward, certainly not one I've presented my brand about. I don't like it."
Van Den Dungen hit back, likening the criticism, not just from Perry but from all, to "bullying" – a stance the 23-year-old firmly stands by today.
"My comments on Jodi are: 'Leave her alone,'" she started out. "Just because you can see a few rib bones does not make her unhealthy. Go talk to a doctor about it, I have and I was told it's 'perfectly normal'.
"When people use the words 'gaunt', 'skeletal', etc. it hurts. It's worse than calling someone 'fat'. In comparison, it's more like calling a big person 'a blimp' or 'whale'.
"We have so much pressure in our lives to be perfect, to be honest no one is, we should be celebrating all sizes, big and small. Some women look at Tess Holliday [plus-size model who wears a size 22] as an inspiration, some people look at people like Jodi.
"The only opinion that should matter on your weight or size is your own. If you're happy, feel healthy and loving life, stuff everyone else's opinions," Van Den Dungen added.
Anasta appeared on Channel 7's The Morning Show on Thursday to address the controversy ahead of the AW16 show.
"Women have to own their own bodies and you do everything you can to stay healthy and happy and that's all you can do," she said.

Aviation Modification Leaders (AML) of Denton, Texas, completed the first installation of its high-speed AML 200 cabin router in a Piaggio Avanti.
The new carry-on/carry-off technology acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot and requires no STC. It allows up to 10 passengers in the aircraft simultaneous airborne access to Swiftbroadband Internet service worldwide (excluding polar regions) as well as a full complement of standard Wi-Fi connectivity capabilities with any personal electronic device, regardless of brand.
The Avanti in which the AML 200 was installed already had a compatible satcom system and the router required just three hours of labor for connectivity. It does require availability of a 60-Hz plug and RJ45 jack near the plug area. While the AML 200 does not work with the current Iridium system, it will be compatible with the next-generation Iridium, said founder and president Mark Lange.
The AML 200 lists for $17,500 and is being installed in a variety of aircraft from five of the major OEMs.

'Lantern' doesn't shine
June 26, 2011
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Superheroes have been no strangers to the silver screen, and it seems each new installment of a comic book-turned-movie has higher standards to live up to. While this summer's "Green Lantern" has had to compete with both "X-Men: First Class" and "Thor" at the box office, it still lives up to most expectations of comic book geeks and summer movie fans alike.
The movie follows the story of cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), who is chosen by a powerful ring when its previous owner is killed. The ring, charged by its accompanying lantern, gives Hal the power to create anything with his mind. As one of Hal's trainers explains, "The ring turns thought into reality. The only limits are what you can imagine."
But owning the ring also means being a member of the Green Lantern Corps., a group of intergalactic beings tasked with keeping peace within the universe. This becomes Hal's newest responsibility.
The greatest aspect of the movie is its ability to make fun of itself. One of the characters acknowledges that "The superhero always gets the girl," and no one is fooled by Hal's skimpy mask attempting to hide his identity. Hal's love interest Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) even cries out incredulously that she can't believe he thought no one would recognize him just because they couldn't see his cheekbones.
Just like any other superhero movie, the beginning is slow in order to establish background. However, the plot never ceases to captivate and provides only what fans need to know to fully understand the story. The visuals are always stunning and the special effects are spectacular.
However, the movie is not without its faults. The villain in the story, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard), is underwhelming in comparison to villains such as those from "Batman" or "Spiderman." And the addition of a second monster, known as Parallax, only causes the plot to become disjointed and places less importance on each individual antagonist.
The romance between Hal and Carol also seems forced and irrelevant, but provides some good damsel-in-distress moments necessary to any hero's rise to power.
Overall, the movie is worth watching just for the visually striking scenes that take place on the planet Oa, where the Green Lantern Corps. meets and trains. The space setting of "Green Lantern," and Hal's more intellectual powers, also make this movie lighter than most others of its kind. It is an entertaining movie that stays true to its comic book roots.

Adjusted Playoff Scoring

Throwing this out there - adjusted playoff stats
This is just a bit of an idea dump since we now have a place that qualifies as a wall for me to throw stuff at to see if it sticks.
For years Ive been intrigued by the idea of an adjusted playoff scoring metric. I think pnep did one but I have no idea about the methodology behind it. Plus, like many adjusted systems, it still appears to result in a disproportionately high number of modern players in the career leaders.
The obvious thing that needs to be accounted for in adjusted playoff scoring is the league scoring level. That much is not debatable. But from there, there are many other issues:
- Other issues that are accounted for in regular season adjustments, like roster size and assists per goal,
- Competition level issues (strong teams always get to pile in the goals on weak teams for the first round or even two, the opposite for bubble teams)
- Team issues (being on a strong team for a long time will inflate ones totals to an even more amplified degree than in the regular season, due to the above point)
- The number of series it takes to win the cup,
- The number of games you need to win, to win those series,
- The percentage of teams that make the playoffs
To create a season-by-season adjusted playoff point total for each player would be a complete mess, and I dont even know how you account for the last point properly (using a downward adjustment for 80s teams and an upward adjustment for modern teams, yes, but how?) so that concept is being thrown out, at least by me.
However, I think its possible to develop a reasonably reliable shorthand for career playoff points that can treat all eras equally and account for most of the above. The first thing that comes to mind is, all the above factors apply equally to all players whose careers occurred at the same time as eachother. So simply create a standard for adjustment based on the career playoff point totals of all players with birthdates within a certain range. The standard could be something as simple as the career total of the xth highest scorer in that range, with x being the average number of teams in the NHL when the players in the range were 20-35.
Example: Player A, born in 1930, had 100 playoff points. His range of years, then, is 1928-1932. He was 20-35 in the 1950-1965 seasons. The average number of teams in the NHL from 1950-1965 seasons was, of course, 6. So x = 6. The 6th-highest playoff scorer from the 1928-1932 range of birthdates had 80 career playoff points. Therefore, player A had 1.25 times as many points as the xth player.
From there wed just need a constant to normalize from perhaps 100? and could say player A has 125 adjusted playoff points.
One flaw I thought of right away was that youre bound to find a couple of weak spots in the birthdate ranges, particularly in earlier years when there were just not as many NHL players to smooth out the yearly ebbs and flows. For example, from 1920 1930 birthdates, you might find that the five year ranges have an xth highest playoff scorer of 80, 82, 68, 78, 79, 81, 83, 85, 84, 80. That 68 really stands out as a low number, indisating that for whatever reason that 1920-1924 range of birthdates in particular didnt produce a player with a lot of playoff points (1922 itself could probably be blamed) and there is no reason why it shouldnt be smoothed out to fit what appears to be a slow upward rise that could be substantiated with decades more data.
Anyway, Ive had this thought in my brain for like 6 years now, and Im just dusting it off now. What do you think? It basically takes something very complex and makes it simple, but does it make it TOO simple?

The man who produced the 1961 classic Breakfast At Tiffany's also founded the Artists Agency and did stints as head of producing Warner Bros and MGM. Richard Shepherd died last night at his Los Angeles home after a long illness, his son, TV writer-producer Scott Shepherd, told Deadline. He was 86. The elder Shepherd's production credits also include The Hanging Tree (1959), The Fugitive Kind (1960) and later Robin & Marian, a 1976 Robin Hood tale that reteamed Shepherd with Audrey Hepburn, who had scored an Oscar nom for Tiffany's. Shepherd joined Lew Wasserman's MCA in the early 1940s before serving in the Army during World War II. The Kansas City native then returned to the agency game in New York, repping clients including Marilyn Monroe and Richard Harris, before segueing to producing. He later became one of the first partners at CMA, the forerunner of ICM, before being tapped as head of production at Warner Bros in 1970. Six years later, he moved to the same post at MGM. After Shepherd left that gig, he produced Tony Scott's first feature, The Hunger (1983) and the Tom Hanks comedy Volunteers (1985). He went on to found The Artists Agency, spending two decades as partner. Here's a brief documentary featuring Shepherd and director Blake Edwards discussing the making of Breakfast At Tiffany's:

Thank you for the retrospective of Tiffany's. My condolences to Mr. Shepherd's family and friends. What a lovely legacy.
I would just like to add that Richard Shepherd also does an excellent commentary on the "Breakfast At Tiffany's" DVD.

Public vote set on legalizing booze on Pine Ridge
PINE RIDGE (AP) -- The Oglala Sioux Tribe Election Commission has scheduled a vote on legalizing alcohol on the dry Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
The special election is set for Tuesday, Aug. 13.
The Tribal Council in June approved a public referendum on whether to legalize alcohol on the southern South Dakota reservation, where residents sneak in beer and liquor from nearby towns such as Whiteclay, Neb., and alcoholism is rampant.
Federal law bans the sale of alcohol on American Indian reservations unless a tribal council allows it. Previous efforts to legalize alcohol on the Pine Ridge reservation have failed.

HOUSTON - Local 2 Investigates has learned an independent investigation was launched following our questions into the level of force Rice University police officers used during the arrest of a bike thief.
The incident was captured on video by a Rice police officer's dashboard camera.
Rice officials said the incident began last August when officers were alerted that a University owned "bait bike" was showing movement. Officers tracked the bike's GPS signal to the off campus intersection of Montclair and Holcombe. Officers said a man by the name of Ivan Joe Waller was caught riding the bike.
"The next thing you know I seen the police and they was like, 'get down, freeze,'" Waller said.
Waller, who has a prior criminal history of assault, burglary and forgery, pleaded guilty to stealing the bike. However, Waller said Rice officers went too far when they arrested him.
"I didn't deserve that beating," said Waller.
On the dash cam video obtained by Local 2, Waller is seen on the ground and unarmed as two officers repeatedly hit him with their batons. At one point on the video one of the officers seen striking Waller with a baton steps to the side as his fellow officer is seen continuing to hit Waller with his baton. Two other Rice officers are also seen on the video, but neither is seen striking Waller at any point. The video shows Waller was hit with a baton 13 times in 20 seconds.
At certain points on the video Waller can be heard screaming, "I ain't got nothing" and "Why y'all beating me?"
Toward the end of the clip Waller is seen sitting up on a curb waving his arms as at least three officers move in to restrain him. There is no mention in court documents that Waller was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of his arrest.
"I was in pain from the beating," said Waller, who told Local 2 he was hit on his legs, side and shoulders.
However, sources familiar with the incident told Local 2 the video clip we obtained is only a portion of a video that lasts several minutes.
Local 2 repeatedly asked Rice officials to allow us to view the entire video of Waller's arrest to better understand why officers felt the level of force they used was necessary. Rice officials declined our request.
Local 2 tried to obtain a copy of the entire video under the Texas Public Information Act. Attorneys for the University denied our request.
Rice attorneys wrote that the since the police department is a division of an "independent, private institution of higher education" it is "not required to respond to your requests for information under the Act."
Rice University also blocked the release of Waller's "mug shot", taken at the Harris County jail the night of his arrest. When Local 2 requested this picture officials with the Harris County Sheriff's Office wrote in an email, "This is a Rice University Police case and they do not want the mug shot to be released."
Local 2 then asked for an on-camera interview with Rice Police Chief Johnny Whitehead. Rice officials said he was unavailable. When Local 2 tried again to speak with Whitehead at the Rice police department we were again told he was unavailable.
Rice University officials did send us two written statements regarding Waller's arrest.
"On Aug 10, 2013, around 11 p.m., Rice University police were alerted that a bike equipped with a GPS device had been stolen from campus. Rice police caught up with the bike and suspect at Montclair Drive and Holcombe Boulevard. As officers attempted to arrest the suspect, he resisted and had to be forcibly restrained and handcuffed. The suspect was taken to Harris County Jail and subsequently pleaded guilty to the theft. RUPD conducted an internal review of the incident, which is standard policy when use of force is involved. The department concluded the officers' actions were justified in making the arrest," read the statement sent to Local 2 on November 21.
"Around 11 p.m. on the night of Aug. 10, 2013, the Rice University Police Department was alerted that a bike equipped with a GPS tracking device had been stolen from campus. Rice police officers tracked the bike and caught up with the suspect at Montclair Drive and Holcombe Boulevard. The officers approached the suspect and attempted to arrest him, ordering him off the bike and onto the ground so that they could handcuff him, search for weapons and make the arrest. When the suspect failed to comply with verbal commands, the officers forced him to the ground, which is standard police protocol. The officers placed a handcuff on the suspect's left wrist, but he resisted having the right wrist handcuffed by pinning it under his body. Despite the officers' orders to allow himself to be handcuffed, he continued to resist arrest. The officers then used pressure point control techniques in an effort to subdue the suspect, but he continued to resist being handcuffed. After repeated attempts to gain control of the suspect with verbal commands and physical control techniques were unsuccessful, two officers deployed their batons and struck the suspect's legs. The officers are trained to strike the legs in an effort to subdue a resistant suspect without causing serious bodily harm.
Officers were finally able to gain more control of the suspect by applying a second set of handcuffs to his right wrist and then attaching that set of handcuffs to the handcuffs on his left wrist. At that point, the officers stopped the use of force, although the suspect then resisted being placed in the police vehicle. At no point did the officers draw their weapons. The suspect was transported to Harris County Jail, and he later pled guilty to the bike theft.
Rice University Police Chief Johnny Whitehead conducted an internal review, which is standard when use of force is involved, and concluded that officers used the amount of force necessary to overcome the suspect's resistance to arrest. The department is continuing to review its techniques for dealing with suspects who resist arrest.
Rice University police are charged with protecting the campus and its students and employees, and are fully trained and commissioned police officers," read a second statement sent to Local 2 on November 26.
"University Police Department has more privileges and protections than HPD, than Harris County, than the Texas Rangers," said community activist, Quanell X. "Who are they?"
Quanell X said he too received concerned calls about the handling of Waller's arrest. Quanell X said he also asked Rice University police to allow him to see the entire video of the incident.
"We were told by Rice University Police Department there was no tape," said Quanell X.
On Tuesday Waller filed a formal complaint against the Rice University Police Department with the Harris County District Attorney's civil rights division. Quanell X accompanied Waller when he gave a statement to investigators.
Quanell X told Local 2 the DA's Office told Waller and him it would open an investigation into this incident and would work to obtain a copy of the video.
Waller said he just wants someone other than Rice officials to view the entire video of his arrest and decide whether the officers' actions were justified.
"I didn't deserve to get beat like that," said Waller.
State Senator John Whitmire sent Local 2 Investigates a statement which read:
"I was shocked and outraged and the incident should be fully investigated and go where the facts take us. In regards to Rice University not cooperating with the public's right to know because they are private will not survive scrutiny. They get state money and their police are licensed and certified by a state agency. I urge Rice not tarnish their outstanding reputation by protecting these out of control officers. As the voice of police officers in Austin I will not tolerate what I saw on TV by the officers or Rice's lack of transparency. Rice will not win and I urge them to cooperate and hold people accountable. I will be working on this."

Don't Touch That Dial…For Real!
You know, when you hear me say "Keep it right here", that is just a simple request…you don't have to really "keep it right here". But apparently in some areas, "Don't touch that dial", can be taken to heart and it could put your life in danger.

HTC isn't the problem here, it's Verizon. The update is ready to be rolled out, and has been for awhile now. But unfortunately for the owners of this very good phone, it wasn't a huge seller, so it's not real high on Verizon's priority list. I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen by the end of July. Hope I'm wrong though, for the Rezound owners sake.

Verizon needs to step up. Their Motorola Xoom got ICS 6 months after the WiFi version. That is insane.

Absolutely right doubleD. HTC reps have told me the update was ready in early May. I'll believe it's rolled out when my phone is downloading it.

it's like Verizon doesn't even care about their customers anymore ):

scru Verizon... I have been waited the update for so long!
7. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
I don't know who exactly it is to blame, maybe Verizon. But I'm thinking to jump the ship of being a loyal HTC customer/fan. I was first so excited waiting for ICS, then disappointed, then impatient and excited all over again. No I gave up, I don't care anymore. I just want a different phone. Maybe Samsung is better with their upgrades? Thinking of getting SIII, since Verizon didn't even OneX. :-(

I hate verizon. the vivid recieved the update in march, sensation and amaze in may, the rezound still waiting. i wish htc would make the new nexus
9. carlos5593 (Posts: 28; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
It is definitely Verizon to be blame. The amaze on Tmobile and sensation already received the update on May to be specific. Verizon has to approve the update before HTC can release an OTA but Verizon simply doesn't care. They only care for selling it. Which they did used ics as a selling point on the rezound when it came out promising the update for Q1 2012.

Natalie Portman admits to have been considering of having a lesbian relationship.
This just in. Natalie Portman is open to the option of having a lesbian relationship. Wanna be her partner?
Portman, who has never dated a woman, is considering to get involved in one because she doesn't want to cut herself off from half of the world's population.
"I've never dated a woman or anything like it, but I think it's much more about the person you fall in love with. Why would you close yourself off from 50 per cent of people?" the movie beauty says on her idea.
Now with her becoming open to same-sex relationship, men would have to fight harder to get Portman's heart.

Is this a bigger problem as we become busier, and feel more harried? We're not in the moment – the conversation we're having – because so much else beckons?
Absolutely. Evidence shows that as our spans of control as leaders get larger –overseeing more people – as the pressures gets greater, as our own uncertainties and fear increase, we move towards a control-oriented style, rather than a style that builds people, builds on their strengths. We have less time to engage in mentoring, so when we find time we just monitor – monitor for mistakes. Leaders revert to more of a control orientation under these pressures.
How does this play out in your research on stress?
In organizations today, there are more and more people working longer hours and working quicker but wishing they were working less. At the same time, we also have more and more people working fewer hours who wish they were working more hours. The common characteristic is that these individuals are not satisfied with their working conditions and feel they are losing control.
There's much more uncertainty in the workplace these days, and more job insecurity. There's a feeling of powerlessness – what we used to be able to control, if we were high performers, may be beyond our control today. We may perform very well but the organization simply can't afford to keep us.
When people feel they are losing control, they are less productive and less healthy. Interestingly, the research shows individuals are not looking for extreme amounts of control. They are just looking for a sense that they can have some control over their own personal work. And when organizations give that control back, productivity and health goes up.
What does this specifically involve? Control over the time in which they do their work, or the manner, or the output?
It can be virtually anything. What the research indicates is that people respond best to the ability to decide how to do their own work. It's not necessarily what work to do. Employees still expect to be told what work the organization needs them to do. But they want to have some input into how that work takes place, which they should if they were well-selected and trained. There's more than sufficient research showing that when individuals have that relatively minimal level of input, the positive effects are disproportionate – quite profound in terms of productivity and in terms of health.
So managers are trying to do too much – they have to let go?
That's an excellent way to put it. To have a meaningful impact on work, managers should not be there all the time, but when managers are there they should be positive and focus on mentoring. The old statement that optimism is infectious is certainly borne out by research in the workplace. Managers have to ensure they act in a positive way, are optimistic, and focus on their staff's strengths. If they do, the likelihood is that the outcomes will be positive.
So this fits with the theories of positive psychology and the strengths-based approach?
Yes, definitely. We should be cautious with positive psychology – we need more research about its impact in organizations – but at this stage it's sufficient to know people generally respond very well to a positive approach.
My caution comes because of some research I have become aware of in the United States, not even in an organizational realm, on forgiveness, which is one of the core positive traits. Yet this showed for situations of abuse in relationships that in some situations individuals who forgive their partner make it more likely the abuse will restart quicker than in cases where people withheld forgiveness, ensuring, if I can put it this way, partners were not let off the hook too easily. This suggests some of these attributes of positive psychology are more nuanced than we thought before, but generally a positive approach will be successful.

Do you think Merry and Pippin come into their own in this film?
Billy Boyd: I think this movie for Merry and Pippin is about growing up, maturing kind of coming of age. And starting to understand the size of what's happened.
Especially for Pippin, I think, who's quite na�ve to these things. It takes Merry to explain to him that this is going to effect everywhere in Middle Earth.
This war is affecting everyone and if you have a chance to do something to change that then you should. Yeah, it's definitely a coming of age for Merry and Pippin.
Was it dangerous to film?
Dominic Monaghan: It was good fun. I think guys in general like the action part of things.
That's what us guys tend to really enjoy doing. Nothing too dangerous although there were some broken bones along the way.
BB: Especially with the horses. When you're doing scenes with horses no matter how well they're trained there's always a chance they'll kick you. Never get kicked by a horse though!
DM: You got kicked didn't you?
BB: Yeah, and it was very, very painful. I got kicked in the bum.
What was it like filming in New Zealand all together. Was it like living in Big Brother? But 50 times worse?
DM: We actually watched Big Brother in New Zealand while we were in New Zealand.
BB: We did! Someone sent it over on tape and we'd never seen anything like it so we sat and watched one episode and 24 hours later we were still watching it!
DM: We did all live in each other's pockets quite a lot but we had to work quite closely so it was nice to see each other off set.
It was interesting that we worked for 12 hours a day, sometimes seven days a week yet we chose to spend our evenings hanging out together, but then we went on holiday together. So we're all just really, really good mates.
There's a rumour that Orlando Bloom is the most popular sexy lead character. What do you think?
So you're saying the hobbits are sexier?
DM: The hobbits are the heart of the movie - they're the emotional core for goodness sake!
BB: And we're handsome for God's sake. [points to Dominic] Look how pretty this man is!
DM: I mean Orlando Bloom - what are you talking about? They [the hobbits] are what the audience love, they're what the people really, really hang onto. They're the last character the audience want to die!
This Legolas guy - I hope he gets killed by an arrow in the next movie. Vroom... right through this eye!
BB: It's all make up anyway.
DM: Yeah you should see him when he's got his wig off. It's disgusting. Big open weeping warts on the top of his head.
BB: Covered in warts.
DM: Smells of elderberries.
BB: Oh, he smells!
DM: He can't defend himself [laughs] Hi Orly!
BB: Hi Orlando!
DM: How you doing mate?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/12/2013 (1334 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An Irish pub had its doors slammed shut for good after a minor was caught drinking. An African restaurant downtown tried to bar a liquor inspector. Another popular western dance club earned major fines for being too packed with partiers.
Those bars are some of the biggest repeat offenders, shows an analysis of five years of liquor-law infractions covering 2008 to 2012.
Topping the list is Dylan O'Connor's, an Irish pub chain formerly located on Pembina Highway and on Portage Avenue. The Pembina location had the most infractions and is now closed. The pub committed many sins, including several infractions that involved minors consuming alcohol. The pub was also guilty of some less obvious offences such as having live entertainment not approved by the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission.
In total, Dylan O'Connor's had its liquor licence suspended for 19 days and earned $19,000 in fines. The pub's licence was revoked in 2011 after a minor was caught drinking.
"We're never happy to see that there are restaurants that are not in compliance," said Scott Jocelyn, executive director of the Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association. "We understand that when you have a liquor licence there's a responsibility that goes with that licence. And if you don't follow the rules, there can be consequences."
The Modern Restaurant & Lounge, an African restaurant on Portage Avenue, also earned eight infractions over five years. Many of those included serving liquor without a meal and during unauthorized hours, being overcapacity, improper billing and even obstructing a liquor inspector. The restaurant lost its licence for a total of 25 days and earned a $2,500 fine.
The third worst repeat offender was Room 720 located on Corydon Avenue. The restaurant also had significant infractions involving overcapacity, failure to remove liquor one hour after closing, failure to vacate the premises one hour after closing and providing false statements to the MLCC about food-to-liquor sales ratios. Inspectors suspended the lounge's licence for a total of 17 days, mandated a staff training session and eventually cancelled the bar's licence outright.
Attempts to reach the owners of Room 720, Dylan O'Connor's and The Modern were not successful.
Repeat offenders tend to earn more attention from liquor inspectors, said Susan Harrison, the senior communications co-ordinator at the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission.
"They (liquor inspectors) use a risk-based program to determine the frequency of inspection," said Harrison. Inspectors consider what type of licence is held by the establishment. Establishments that serve primarily liquor are more likely to have frequent inspections.
"They also look at the history of the establishment and if there's been any public complaints," said Harrison. "Nightclubs, for example, would get inspected more frequently than a restaurant where food is the primary item being served."
As a result, if the establishment doesn't try to comply with the Liquor Control Act after its first few infractions, those infractions are just going to keep stacking up. And in some cases, it can result in thousands and thousands of dollars in fines or even a cancelled liquor licence.
The Liquor Control Act was first passed in 1956 and is now widely considered a confusing relic. Last year, the provincial government announced Manitoba would merge its liquor and gaming commissions to save money and is now putting the finishing touches on a bevy of new booze rules that are much simpler.
The updated legislation will include three new licence classes -- covering the service, sale and manufacturing of liquor -- instead of 12. And, it will effectively eliminate the food-to-liquor ratios, the arcane cabaret licence and rigid rules for live-music venues. But penalties for infractions will be stiffer.
"A lot has changed in Manitoba and in the world since 1956, television had just been introduced, the Beatles hadn't been formed as a band yet," said Elizabeth Stephenson, from the new Liquor and Gaming Authority.
"It's shocking to me how we've had this piece of legislation that was created over 50 years ago that has basically archaically framed the service and consumption of liquor in the province."
Serving and selling liquor in Manitoba is serious business. If you don't do it right, you can get shut down.
Three Winnipeg businesses had their liquor licences permanently revoked between January 2008 and July 2013. That effectively closed them down. Before that happens, though, the proprietors can sit before a licensing board and plead their case.
"It's really similar to a court case," said Susan Harrison, senior communication co-ordinator for the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission.
A board of five people listens to each case. The evidence is presented from both sides and then the licensee pleads guilty or not guilty. Inspectors make a recommendation, and the board considers how many previous infractions the bar has had and how serious the offence is. Punishment can be as minor as mandatory staff training or as serious as a licence cancellation. Here are the three establishments that suffered the worst punishment over the last six years.
The Kamakura restaurant on Pembina Highway was closed after three violations. First, a manager was caught drinking on the job. Then, the restaurant refused a routine liquor inspection and earned a 21-day suspension. But staff didn't stop serving booze during that time, so the establishment was shut down.
Room 720 was closed after five violations. The Corydon Avenue lounge earned a couple of violations when customers were hanging around later than an hour after closing time. The lounge was also overcapacity twice. It wasn't until staff submitted false documents about liquor-to-food sales ratios that Room 720's doors were closed for good.
Dylan O'Connors on Pembina Highway earned eight violations before being shuttered in 2011. Like most clubs, the pub had a cabaret licence, which comes with the challenge of getting two hours of live, professional entertainment every single night an establishment is open. DJs and karaoke performers don't count. The pub earned a $3,000 fine for not having its entertainment approved by the liquor commission and a three-day suspension for having no live entertainment at all. Five of the pub's violations involved allowing minors in. Dylan O'Connor's was finally shut down when a minor was caught drinking in the bar.

Our Facebook family rocks! If you haven't joined in the fun, you are missing some funny and amazing people who love life and love the people in their lives. We hear great stories, share cooking tips and get great advice. Here is a sampling of some of the love sent our way this past month…
Lisa-Michele Pazzini Russo
I have been using these meals for a few weeks now and I can tell you that Dave Ramsey is right, this is the best money I have ever spent! I contacted customer service today and they were so helpful and accommodating! I plan to be a long time subscriber! Thank you E-Mealz!!!!
Paula Silverthorn Mata
Omg, I just realized that I have been using E-mealz for almost 3 years!!! Just wanted to say that this was a fantastic idea and it has saved me a ton of time and stress.
Adri LeBlanc
I've subscribed since 09 – mostly the Kroger family plan, but I've tried a few others. This has been THE BEST purchase I have made for my family and my sanity. "What's for dinner?" is no longer a dreaded question. I swear these plans have taught me how to cook. I dare say I'm pretty good at it now. 🙂
Michele Lucchine
THANK you for saving dinner time in my house!! I am following the WW plan and really got tired of the same old dinners over and over again. I also have only 20-30 minutes from the time I walk in the door from work till I have to get dinner on the table. Since I know ahead of time what we're having and all the items bought, I either prep the night before or have my husband start the meal. Tonight I made Braised Steak And Veggies- simple but YUMMY recipe- my husband is so happy w/ the change in our meals- and so is the toddler. LOVE LOVE LOVE e-mealz.
Christine Dykstra Pearson
Thanks E-mealz for another great meal! My picky teens loved the Garlic-butter chicken, potatoes and peas!! That alone makes my monthly fee worth it!!
DiAnn Carroll Chapman
I just joined and am subscribing to the Low fat for 2 Wal-Mart menu plan. I have made the pork chops with red rice and chicken with bow tie pasta the last 2 nights and my husband and I both have LOVED them!! Thank you e-mealz for making my "what's for dinner" question easy peasy!! 🙂
Michelle McClain
Just wanted to say that you are such a sanity saver for us busy wives and moms. You have made my cooking and shopping so much less stressful and much more enoyable. The way it is MEANT to be! Thanks for all you do and keeping it so affordable!
Dusty Waters
Dang I don't know why but all the (family) Portion Control meals, one after the other, are simply amazing lately! As in, my husband and I looking at each other and simultaneously pronouncing the meal in front of us a keeper! Chicken and fruit salad? Yes please! Salisbury Steak? Ummmm, absolutely 🙂 YUM
Amber Tapper
The low-fat family plan is great! It has healthy, well-rounded meals. My kids love it.

Oswego launched the first multi-departmental Co-op program in the SUNY system that allows you to create an integrated learning experience that enhances your studies and career development. In a Co-op, students enter a paid full-time six-month employment with the school and an employer.
Because the Co-op placement is a non-credit educational program, students do not pay tuition for this program. Oswego supports this endeavor with a variety of resources -- preparing you for interviews, what to expect on the job, and drawing on your workplace and classroom experience to achieve your goals.
If you begin at SUNY Oswego as a freshman, you can start your work term the second semester of your sophomore year. If you are a transfer student, you can begin after completing at least one academic semester in your major.
To be eligible, you must qualify for a Presidential Scholarship, and be matriculated into a participating program. If accepted into the co-op scholarship program, these awards will replace your Presidential Scholarship.
Freshman entering SUNY Oswego in the fall term can apply to one of 15 $6,000 merit Co-op Scholarships (up to $24,000 for four years) available through our partnership with the World Association for Cooperative Education.
Participating majors have different Co-op schedules to comply with their curriculum. Meet with your Co-op academic advisor to coordinate the Co-op schedule and your coursework, then obtain a release form. Once you complete the form, you must pass a mandatory course that prepares you for the program. Search for Co-ops through Laker Leads, or search for companies directly. Please keep in mind that the Center for Experiential Learning has to approve you for a Co-op program before you can start applying for any positions.
Under ROTC, students are able to receive a competitive, merit-based scholarship, covering all or part of college tuition, in return for active military service after graduation. ROTC students attend college classes while receiving basic military and officer training for their chosen branch of service through the ROTC unit at or nearby the college.
There are many scholarships available from private and non-profit institutions or organizations based on your skills and interests. We recommend using Fast Web, a free search engine to see if you qualify for scholarships outside of SUNY Oswego.
Here are additional links to some private scholarships:
Actuarial Diversity Scholarship
Lagrant Foundation Scholarships
Xerox Minority Scholarship
Development Fund for Black Students in Science and Technology
The Association for Women Geoscientists Chrysalis Scholarship
Microsoft Technical Scholarships for Minorities and Women
The Diplomacy and Diversity Fellowship

A Model ConspiracyPosted by Greg at 11:35, 30 Aug 2011
For the modeling enthusiasts out there: check out Tamiya's new line of conspiracy-flavored kits, from the JFK shooting to a faked Moon landing, and even Roswell (click the image for a larger version):
In reality, the Tamiya conspiracy series is likely just a clever viral advertising campaign. But man, I wouldn't mind a Tamiya Roswell spacecraft...although its likely my destructive dog would create its own debris field before too long.
