text: Nick Collins, formerly of the Green Bay Packers and a 3 time Pro Bowler has expressed interest in returning to the NFL. He played 7 seasons in the NFL but his last season was 2011. He suffered a neck injury and retired due to that injury. I have no idea if he can pass a physical but if he is healthy enough to play, I wonder if he might be a guy who could help us? I would imagine that his contract would not be terrible, considering that he would be returning to the NFL from injury. Might be something to keep an eye on.

SAE International Announces January Slate of Mobility Engineering Courses at Cerritos College
WARRENDALE, PA--Dec. 4, 2012: Five professional development courses from SAE International are available to mobility engineering professionals at the Southland/Cerritos Center for Transportation Technologies at Cerritos College in Norwalk, Calif.
The course topics range from heavy truck dynamics to engineering project management and all are eligible for appropriate continuing education units.
The available courses include:
- Fundamentals of Heavy Truck Dynamics (Jan. 7-9) -- This seminar begins where the tires meet the ground, progressing up through the various components and bringing together the theory and practice of heavy truck dynamics. A series of case studies related to truck ride engineering will provide an opportunity for attendees to demonstrate their knowledge gained and introduces them to some of the newer technologies related to evaluating and improving heavy truck ride dynamics.
- Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (Jan. 14-16) -- This seminar will present an introduction to Vehicle Dynamics from a vehicle system perspective. The theory and applications are associated with the interaction and performance balance between the powertrain, brakes, steering, suspensions and wheel and tire vehicle subsystems.
- Managing Engineering & Technical Professionals (Jan. 14-16) -- First-time engineering supervisors and mid-level managers who wish to sharpen their skills and learn new techniques for guiding, coaching, and motivating working engineers, technicians, and designers will find this seminar valuable. A mix of lecture and attention-grabbing exercises are used to develop intense and lasting learning results.
- AS9100C Internal Auditor Training (Jan. 16-18) -- This three-day internal auditor training program is designed to provide potential and existing internal auditors with the knowledge necessary to understand and successfully audit an organization against "AS9100 Rev C: Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Organizations." Additionally, attendees will participate in a detailed examination of the requirements of "AS9101 Rev D: Quality Management Systems Audit Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations."
- Engineering Project Management (Jan. 17-18) -- Project Management and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) are two critical techniques used in product development in the mobility industry today. This seminar will bring these techniques together in an easy to understand format that goes beyond the typical concept of constructing timelines and project planning, by exploring not only the AIAG APQP process, but also specific aspects of PM processes. Students will gain a solid foundation in the essential principles of Project Management and APQP.

Witherspoon 'happy to be home'
Reese Witherspoon is "mortified" but "happy" to be back at home with her three children following her arrest for disorderly conduct.
The "mortified" star returned to Los Angeles on Monday night, following her arrest for disorderly conduct on Friday.
The 37-year-old actress was briefly jailed after her spouse Jim Toth was taken into custody for driving under the influence in Atlanta, Georgia.
"She is happy to be home with her kids again," a source told People. "She didn't feel good about being away from them after the news of her arrest broke. Her kids are everything to her."
Her older children, 13-year-old Ava and Deacon, nine, had been staying with their father, actor Ryan Phillippe, while Reese was filming drama The Good Lie on location in Atlanta.
Apparently the actress called her children after she was arrested to inform them what had happened.
It is said Reese still bears shame.
"She's a fun girl who likes to have a good time and let loose every now and then," said the insider. "What's shocking is she didn't rein it in enough to keep herself out of trouble.
"It was a really bad decision on both their parts and trust me, they're evaluating that and they will make sure it doesn't happen again."
Reese was arrested after entering into a verbal disagreement with the police officer and ignoring his request to stay inside the vehicle.
Jim, 42, a CAA talent agent, is widely known as a "big social drinker" according to another People insider, but both he and Reese are seen as "very solid" and "well liked."
The couple married in 2011 and are parents to seven-month-old baby Tennessee.
Reese has since issued a public apology for her disorderly behaviour.
"I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse," she explained.
"I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I'm very sorry for my behaviour."
The pair are due to appear in court on May 22 in Atlanta.

On January 18, 2010, I received a letter from Bucknell University General Counsel Wayne Bromfield that is undoubtedly the most personally insulting letter I have ever received in my time here at FIRE. We actually didn't respond at the time because when someone sends you a letter like this, you can be sure that he or she is no longer acting in good faith.
But as we get closer to the time when we will highlight Bucknell as a Red Alert school in our annual full-page advertisement in U.S. News & World Report's college rankings issue—Red Alert schools are the "worst of the worst" when it comes to protecting liberty on campus—I decided that despite my misgivings about engaging an apparently enraged Wayne Bromfield, Esq., it's time to give Bucknell one final chance to avoid further national embarrassment.
On January 7, I wrote a letter to Bucknell informing the university that it would be featured in FIRE's upcoming U.S. News advertisement unless it took steps to rectify its policies and practices regarding free speech, particularly with regard to the Bucknell University Conservatives Club. It was a short letter, and here's all we asked Bucknell to do:
All that Bucknell needs to do to ensure its removal from FIRE's Red Alert list is to live up to its promises of free speech and demonstrate its willingness to allow the unfettered debate of controversial issues—such as affirmative action—on the public areas of its campus without need for prior administrative approval. In doing so, Bucknell must also clarify that its recently enacted "Sales and Promotions" policy will not require prior approval for activities (such as the distribution of "Obama stimulus dollars") that would constitute protected expression on a public campus. Bucknell must also reverse its decision barring controversial political speech—including the Bucknell University Conservatives Club's "affirmative action bake sale"—from the public areas of campus. Bucknell's degradations of free expression cannot be allowed to stand, and FIRE will continue to publicly call on Bucknell to remedy its wrongs until it does so.
This is not exactly the purplest of prose, as you might have observed, but you wouldn't know that from the response I got from Wayne Bromfield, which started this way:
I write on behalf of President Mitchell in response to your January 7, 2010 letter. The letter, as you well know, grossly misrepresents the facts. Despite your self-described role in defining the "moral and legal obligations" of others, you have abused the truth in this letter to an exceptional degree even for you.
"Even for me"? Yikes! What did I do? In the next paragraph, Bromfield tells me:
First, Bucknell has never prohibited, in your words, "unfettered debate of controversial issues—such as affirmative action—on public areas of its campus." As you are well aware, having chosen to opine effusively on this matter, the event you are referencing occurred on the University's private property.
This passage sets the tone for the whole letter, in that Bromfield's main argument is that Bucknell is private, not public, and that it can therefore do whatever it wants. He keeps coming back to that argument again and again. For instance, with regard to Bucknell's telling the Bucknell University Conservatives Club that it could not pass out "Obama stimulus dollars" to protest the 2009 stimulus bill, he says, "Bucknell halted the spring 2009 event that included protest dollars because it was (a) occurring on the University's private property, and (b) was interfering with the safe flow of students through the student center." (We'll come back to accusation (b) later.) And in his argument in support of Bucknell's newly revised "Sales and Promotions Policy," Bromfield concludes, "You also know as well as we do that Bucknell is a private institution and not a public campus." The last paragraph states, "If you would like to have a serious and honest discussion about freedom of speech and Constitutional Rights, notably as they pertain to private colleges and universities, it would be worth having the meeting you discuss."
We get it! Bucknell is private! Believe it or not, this did not escape our notice. And Bromfield is right that because the Constitution and Bill of Rights do not apply to a private university the way they do to a public university, Bucknell can basically do whatever it wants to its students on its campus (within certain legal limits; for instance, Bucknell cannot set up segregated cafeterias for black and white students). Since nobody is forced to go to Bucknell, if Bucknell wants to require all of its students to shave their heads, it can do so. If it wants all men to wear facial hair, it can do that, too. If it wants to require that all of its students sign a statement saying they find Wayne Bromfield to be one heck of a handsome man, Bucknell can even do that.
But Bucknell doesn't want to do any of that (I hope). Instead, Bucknell repeatedly promises its students and faculty members free speech, free thought, and academic freedom—promises that it is both legally and morally obligated to uphold.
For instance, in its sexual harassment policy [PDF link], Bucknell states:
Because Bucknell as an academic community committed to both the elimination of sexual harassment and the free and open exchange of ideas, this policy is intended to foster an environment permitting full participation by all of its members, while not inhibiting the robust and wide-open pursuit of ideas and freedom of speech.
Sounds pretty unequivocally in support of free speech, no? And in its "Free Speech Issues" web page describing The Bucknellian newspaper, Bucknell begins by saying "Bucknell University values free speech and academic freedom." And don't miss this section about "Strengthening the Academic Core" in "The Plan for Bucknell," containing this inspiring paean to the life of the mind and academic freedom:
Part of the distinctiveness of the Bucknell learning experience is the opportunity for students to interact daily with faculty and staff who exemplify a passion for learning and a dedication to the life of the mind—a life of intellectual exploration, creativity, and imagination. In affirming the centrality of the academic core, Bucknell also rededicates itself to an environment that nurtures, protects, and celebrates these values, all within the context of an unwavering commitment to academic freedom.
Just as nobody is forced to go to Bucknell, nobody is forcing Bucknell to guarantee freedom of speech or academic freedom to its students and faculty members. Bucknell decided all on its own to promise to uphold those values. So to the extent that Bromfield's argument is that Bucknell didn't violate the Constitution by taking these actions, I totally agree with him.
The problem is that Bromfield's "we're private and we can do whatever we want" argument means that he officially doesn't care that Bucknell is unashamedly and unrepentantly lying about its own voluntary commitment to free speech. It is that underlying will to deceive on the part of Bucknell administrators that makes Bucknell one of the worst campuses in the nation when it comes to protecting free speech on campus. And Bucknell is not just lying about its commitment to free speech—it is piling on deception after deception about the circumstances in which it is censoring expression. Adam penned a hugely thorough analysis of Bucknell's offenses against the truth on this blog nearly a year ago, complete with links to all the evidence you need to make up your own mind (including about the accusation (b) I mentioned above). Want video? We have that. Want audio? We have that. How about e-mails and documents? You got it. They're all linked in Adam's blog entry.
Wayne Bromfield says that FIRE and I are liars. Does he present any evidence? No. I suppose he wants you to take his word for it. FIRE and I, however, do not, and you can see all the evidence on Adam's blog entry above or on the case page here. This isn't a "he said/he said" situation. As is always true with FIRE, we give you all the evidence so you can make up your own mind. If only Bucknell would extend the same courtesy to its own students.

THE emergency department at the Royal Blackburn Hospital has made several improvements in recent months, according to a health regulator.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC), which issued two formal warnings to the hospital in October, said it has since addressed failings around the 'care and welfare of people who use the service'.
East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust remains in special measures, however, with the CQC still waiting to see evidence of improvements on two other indicators.
In a report published yesterday, inspectors said the trust had stopped using extra beds in the surgical day case areas at busy times. In the previous visit last July, staff had reported difficulties in getting doctors to review these beds, where 'additional patients' were sometimes left waiting for hours in chairs or trolleys due to a lack of beds.
But after last month's inspection the CQC said this had ceased, with patients no longer sent to wards regardless of whether a bed was available. The watchdog added: "When the hospital was full, patients assessed as 'fit for discharge' were asked to vacate their bed. Whilst this practice may cause inconvenience to some patients, the impact and risk to patients who required admission was minimised."
The inspectors also noted how staff in A&E and multi-assessment unit now worked 'efficiently and effectively' to move patients through and reduce delays, while there had been a 'marked improvement' in staff morale and support from management.
New concerns about delays in the paediatric area were 'not supported by evidence', the inspectors added, although staff felt there would not be enough paediatric nurses to cover for absences.
Jonathan Wood, deputy chief executive at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, welcomed the report, adding: "We have increased staffing levels within the department and made sure that our staff are supported to improve treatment and care planning, flow of patients from the emergency department to wards, and interaction with patients."

North Carolina has opted not to issue a statement following two days in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions. So after about 15 hours worth of discussions, both sides left Nashville with no comment. Next step is a decision from the committee about possible sanctions.
Roy Williams leaves Nashville at 115 P central as NCAA hearings with regard to the UNC academic scandal conclude midway through day 2. The NCAA will have a press call in 60 to 90 days with a full report of its findings. North Carolina is expected to release a short written statement soon.
North Carolina's hearing in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions is now over. Roy Williams and Sylvia Hatchell just left the meeting room with other UNC officials. A statement from the university is expected soon. All that's left now is waiting on a decision from the committee, and that could take months.

14 days until the first Thursday of College Football Season. Florida State won at least 10 games for 14 straight seasons from 1987 to 2000, the longest streak by any team since major classification began in 1937. Alabama has the longest active streak with 9.
Day 2 in Nashville for North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams who arrived ten minutes early to prepare for what may be another marathon day of questions from NCAA investigators. UNC is facing five allegations related to an academic scandal that spanned nearly two decades in Chapel Hill. Williams led the Tar Heels to two championships during that period (2005 and 2009). The NCAA Committee on Infractions will eventually rule on whether athletes on those and other UNC teams maintained eligibility in large part because of bogus classes offered by the African Studies department.

USC OLB Porter Gustin seems destined for a breakthrough season. He's been an important contributor the past two seasons, but if developed into an all-conference or all-American caliber player it would be a surprise. Here's Clay Helton on what Gustin is like away from the field.

UNC men's basketball coach Roy Williams spent nearly ten hours inside a heavily secured conference room bordered by ropes and shuttered by shades, as the NCAA questioned Williams and other UNC officials about their knowledge or involvement in an academic scandal that spanned nearly two decades in Chapel Hill. The NCAA has slapped UNC with five allegations, most notably a lack of institutional control and with providing athletes with impermissible benefits. Williams, accompanied by his attorney Jim Cooney, was joined by Carolina women's basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell, current football coach Larry Fedora, Chancellor Carol Folt, athletic director Bubba Cunningham and Deborah Crowder, a retired administrator in the African Studies department who played a central role in creating a bogus curriculum that the NCAA says disproportionately benefited UNC athletes more than it did the rest of the student body. None of the coaches has yet been accused of wrongdoing and the school has adamantly denied violating any NCAA bylaws. The hearings are scheduled to continue Thursday morning and Williams is expected to face another day of questions. The NCAA's ruling may be weeks if not months away.

North Carolina's hearing in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions will continue Thursday morning in Nashville, Tenn. The NCAA allotted two days for the hearing to address five major allegations, including lack of institutional control, related to paper classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies.
North Carolina's turn in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions ended Wednesday evening after nearly 10 hours in the meeting room. North Carolina and NCAA officials left without comment.

The clock in the Ohio State football complex is already counting down (to the second) to The Game. Urban Meyer is 5-0 vs. Michigan and 26-3 vs. his chief rivals during his head coaching career. Meyer said rivalries are what separate college football from the NFL. "I grew up in the 10-year war with Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler. ... For 365 days, you have to live with it if you lose this game," Meyer told ESPN.

Portraits of the market women in Lagos
Since 2007 the Health Insurance Fund runs a program for market women and there families. About ten thousand market woman are targeted with an estimated family size of four. The women are organized in market organizations and have access to quality health care right around the corner from where they work.
There are over a thousand markets in the city of Lagos. The markets really form the economic heart of this huge Nigerian metropolis. Lagos has a population figure of approximately 17,5 million inhabitants, which makes it is the second largest city in Africa, behind Cairo. People go to the markets for practically everything: food, music, clothes, cell phones, IT products, to get a haircut or their car fixed. The images provide a good overview of these vital economic centres and the health care provided to these women.

"Through the app Wallapop, gunman Zachary Sam and seller Philippe Pierre, 39, had arranged to meet up at 1 p.m. Friday in Canarsie," nypost.com reports. "But when Pierre showed up, asking $490 for a pair of Air Jordan 8 Retro sneakers, the teen crook pulled out a gun and demanded the kicks for free [ED: ?] inside Pierre's gray Honda Pilot." All Hell broke loose . . .
Pierre stepped on the gas pedal, but Sam, who lives nearby, jumped out of his car at the intersection of East 86th Street and Avenue M, sources said.
Instead of speeding off, Pierre turned his car around and drove after Sam, crashing into him in front of a fence.
The alleged robber's arm was ripped off when he was pinned against the fence . . .
"I saw a kid under a car," said Alex Saint Fleur, a bus driver who lives across the street.
"The guy ran him over. He got out, the driver said, 'He's trying to rob me. He's trying to rob me.'"
"I saw the gun on the floor," Fleur added. "The arm was on the floor near the gun."
The cops arrested Mr. Pierre and charged him with attempted murder. He claims self-defense. The disarmed robber (sorry) survived. He'll be charged with armed (there it is again) robbery.
89 Responses to Armed Robber's Arm Ripped Off By Victim
Off topic: Antonin Scalia passed away this am. Big bag of not good…
Oh boy. Not good at all.
The original one armed bandit.
All I have to say is Lmao!!
Me too!!
Yeah, you probably shouldn't run people down and claim self-defense if they were running away at the time.
Still, if I were on that jury I don't think I would be willing to convict the driver for anything more serious than the 'victim'.
The whole charging after someone, is a bit hard to chalk up to "self defense", but there also ought to be a built in bias in the law, modeled on the old "justifiable anger" clause that got people off despite blowing away guys caught with their wife etc. Or, say, justifiable fear/justifiable irrationality. In the immediate aftermath of a life threatening encounter initiated by the other guy, one shouldn't be judged very harshly for even a bit of overreaction. What the driver did, was very different than if he did the same thing a week in arrears.
"jury nullification" by common sense.
This could have been prevented if fences were illegal.
That's not self defense. The robber was out of the car and the threat was gone. This was out and out revenge. Now time to start talking about how if he didn't have access to that dangerous SUV at that moment, this teen would still have his arm.
In Texas this would have been legal. Here we have the right of Fresh Pursuit, meaning we can legally chase someone down and use force to restore stolen property. Deadly force is specifically referenced and made legal. The type of tool you use to exercise the right of a justified deadly force response is not specified. You get to be creative.
You better take a look at your laws before you try and exercise that right. Hint: this happened during daytime hours.
And yes, that's an important distinction in Texas law!
It said the robber bailed and fled. It did not say he took the property.
Stolen property with a value in excess of $500. Sorry, he's toast, no excuses.
But the overpriced property was only $490. Hmmmm…
Air Jordan 8 Retro are going on ebay for around $200 or less with the "Buy it now" option.
Was he ONLY selling shoes? Or was this a "Buy these shoes for $490 and get 'x' ounce(s) of [drug] for free" type thing?
It may be legal in the letter of the law, but I don't think there have been any previous cases to set precedent in court. You'll be at the mercy of the jury. Good luck with that.
Some fella in Texas shot a hooker who he paid for sex that didn't deliver on her end of the bargain. Got off well enough.
^ evidently he didn't, or there wouldn't have been a problem.
I salute you sir. LOL
Yes the guy was in retaliation because he was robbed of his shoes and had a gun pulled on him he was in advance to getting his shoes back that was robbed from him at gunpoint yes he was and had chance to leave but he also had the chance to get his sneakers back I would have done the same thing or put a bullet in his head soon as I could that's why texas has the law that we do
You are a disgrace to firearm ownership. Stop interneting right now.
Ah but a gun can reach a long way. The thug may have done or said something that made our hapless victim feel the only immediate or long term recourse to protect himself and family was to terminate the threat with extreme prejudice. A man versed in jurisprudence would be the best resource for the upcoming journey through the judicial process.
He won't be committing armed robbery ever again. Arm robbery yes but not armed robbery.
That is hilarious Lol!
Now, he'll be performing re-attached armed robbery. Seems he is no longer the one armed man.
And what, exactly, is wrong with what he did? Of course, other than that he did it in the UK
$490 for a pair of shoes, he's a crook. Robbery with or without both arms, but with a gun, I don't care if he's dead. Get my tax dollars out of the equation and I'm happy. But make the two of them pay all hospital bills.
And I thought the UK was gun free??? That's very odd that a criminal would have a firearm in a gun free zone lol!
What a ripoff.
Those Air Jordans normally cost an arm and a leg. He should be glad he got 'em for half off.
Oh, now, that's so funny it's not even fair.
How's he going to tie them? Hope they were velcro.
Driver in court: "But your honor, I was only trying to disarm him."
'Try', hell!
Car more dangerous than gun.
This is why we need registration, imposed safety features, and mandatory training for cars. Deny car ownership / driving rights for people who screw up.
We need less cars. Otherwise we'll have arms ripped off all over the place. Something must be done. For the children.
I blame it on the shoes. For the children.
They need to be regulated. No more than seven grommets for shoelaces in NY. And no high-tops because- well, they go up, or something.
Only in america does the tax payer have to pay for surgery to put an arm back on some thug so that he can keep robbing people at gun point.
let him go without an arm. He has shown that he doesn't deserve it.
Nobody needs an arm for hunting, anyway.
Can they surgically re-attach an arm?
Depends on the damage. More than likely, it will never be like it was before.
The State will probably pay for physical therapy so he can hold his 'gat' the 'right' wrong (sideways) way… 🙂
Next time he tries to chamber a Hi-Point his arm might fall off again.
Ahhh…..the rarely used suv disarming technique of the french shoe sellers!
Yes……stay calm and floor it!
If it happened the way it says then no tears for the bad guy will fall today.
Play stupid games-and it cost him an arm and a… leg-iron? Please no cries that "he was just a teen"…
I've long been of the idea that if you attack someone without provocation, whatever they do in retaliation is fair game. You pull a gun on them and they run you over? W ell, don't rob people.
+1 Ditto
We have to have a further explanation of the hues involved, before we can make a fair decision.
If in self-defense, then yes. That is where that whole "Duty to retreat" nonsense that the anti's speak of falls flat. The only "duty" is for the thug not to attack you in the first place. If they do, you are perfectly within your rights to blow their head off. If they don't want their head getting blown off, then don't attack people.
However, if they as a threat decide to flee (say you scare them off by pulling a gun of your own), and you shoot them from behind while they run away, that is basically then taking the law into your own hands and declaring yourself as judge and jury (and executioner).
The anti's often will try to claim that people owning guns is "barbaric" because we have the court system which is civilized, but in saying that, they are confusing using a gun in self-defense, which is not a case of taking the law into one's hands, and using the gun for revenge purposes, which is.
Sorry, nope. The threat of bodily harm was long gone by the time the idiot in the SUV decided to turn around and try to kill the teen in retaliation for steeling a pair of shoes at gun point. The man in the SUV should have simply called the cops in this case, as the immediate threat was no longer present. If I was on the jury, I'd find him guilty based on this video evidence. Retaliation is not self defense.
The way I look at it the person defending themselves in any situation has been unexpectedly thrust into a situation where they are in a panic to survive. As a juror I would be hard pressed to find them guilty of anything until that panic had subsided. We POTG preach "shoot until the threat is gone". In this case the guy's reaction was fight instead of flight or freeze. The threat who had attacked with a gun was still within close enough range to be a threat with a gun. He simply continued to fight until there was no threat. The bad guy simply brought a gun to a car fight.
The guy with the gun caused a 100% justified moment of panic. I didn't see the victim have any opportunity to relax and calm down out of his sudden fight to survive mindset. Without a mountain of evidence to convince me that a reasonable person will overcome that level of adrenaline in the moment I would be hard pressed to find him guilty of anything worse than price gouging.
Let's give a big hand to the little robber, who will now be able to answer the Zen question: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
Something about falling tears, I suspect.
BTW me and the missus were wondering who "vetted" people who use these new smartphone aps like wallapop. Obviously no one. Like Craigslist. We also buy and sell for a living and jumping in a strange truck strains credulity. Dumbflucks…
Cine sport auto-play spam is crashing my tablet.
Turn this crap off.
pssst! mozilla firefox + your favorite adblocker. tada! I get some adds, but not the horrid autoplay type.
CineSport autoplays on every page. Thought the site policy was to not have any autoplay adds at all. It doesn't crash my browser when at home but it is extremely annoying. At work sometimes it cashes when the add is blocked.
I'm all for what the driver did but if you think about it the driver had the thieves contact info and could have called law enforcement. They had to have talked via email or phone before meeting so..
Nothing would have came of it. Effectively, a pair of shoes were stolen – not a top priority for cops.
"…when they take my gun from my cold dead fingers" As you wish, sir.
That's gotta be a large evidence bag. It's gotta hold a hipoint and an arm.
They retrieved his arm and reattached it. I'm sure his health insurance plan will cover the costs.
I am glad the teen got charged. But he should have been charged with armed robbery (yeah pun I know) and possibly other chargers.
As for the driver . . . I am not even a lawyer and I can see major wiggle room to get this guy off. The prosecution handed the defense a victory if they play their cards right. The guy in the SUV is guilty of a crime but not THE crime he is charged with: attempted murder. If you put me on that jury I would vote not guilty with a clear conscious. If the facts are what is laid out in the video it looks like a clear cut case of overzealous prosecution.
How is trying to run someone over not attempted murder though?
No. Even if the punk had died, it is not murder. Lethal force is justified during the commission of a forcible felony. Armed robbery is a forcible felony.
Depends on the laws of the state. In most cases, you're correct. However, given the media's ignorance and inclination towards sensationalism, I would guess that the actual charge laid against him isn't specifically attempted murder. Attempted vehicular manslaughter just doesn't drum up the reader count like murder does.
You guys are killing me with the jokes:
Dis-armed robber
Shoes cost nearly an arm-and-a-leg and he got them for half-off
Deal was quite the rip-off
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
If he lost his leg instead of his arm, he could have sold one of the shoes and made $245 profit.
20 yrs or 1 arm? Interesting.
Craigslist Rule No. 1 – meet in a public, well visited place if possible, during the day. Or, have a gun on your hip if rule No. 1 isn't feasible.
I prefer "AND."
my kid calls them "sneakerheads."
The gun jammed. Must have been a SCCY, Taurus, HiPoint, or a 1911. We know he didnt have a Glock.
He studied the Honda Pilot Gun Disarm Method. Guess it works.
the kid used deadly force against him and tried to shoot him, got what he deserved if you ask me.
Wait for it, Obama is set to go on national television, tear ducts fully charged, to emotionally discourage the usage of the dreaded S.U.V. under any and all circumstances, while rolling out yet another executive order banning "assault vehicles" with the public safety in mind. "These vehicles, with their high capacity horsepower and cargo space, are lethal weapons and should be limited in use only to specifically trained military specialists" he will no doubtedly report. "Since the populace cannot identify the innate threat to public safety that these unnecessarily powerful all wheel drive behemoths pose, I regretfully sign my latest over the top executive mandate hearby banning the public at large from obtaining said "Vehicles of mass destruction" under any and all circumstances". It has been widely rumored that certain retro articles of clothing and footwear made be targeted in the very near future.
Fuck! I own a SUV. Now i'm gonna have to license and permit it and get insurance for it……..
Ok, someone has to play responsible gun owner here, for the horrified libtards, who dont understand the gallows humor here.
Once the threat to grave bodily injury is gone, lethal force is not appropriate to "stop the threat". You cant run down a kid and drive over him, no more than you can shoot him in the back,
duh, over frickin' tennis shoes.
So what if the hood rats and bangers do it to one another all day long.
No, of course the driver should have stopped and called 911.
And waited 4 hours for the NYC cops to show up, if ever, and only at the donut shop.
And gotten laughed at for being in a stupid place, doing stupid things, with stupid people.
And cited for driving on the sidewalk.
And sued for damaging the fence.
And sued by the kids extended family for pain and suffering for which he will be working for decades to pay off the civil claim.
And undoubtedly doxxed by some Black Lies Matter or Anonymous wannabe, and have to move his family for death threats.
The Driver should receive an Accommodation. He disarmed a criminal, isn't that the goal of Gun Control?
I pay big money for that arm how much for the arm who gets to keep it? Lmao
"Pierre stepped on the gas pedal, but Sam, who lives nearby, jumped out of his car at the intersection of East 86th Street and Avenue M, sources said."
More like The kid took 20 seconds to get out of the car, started walking away, then Pierre slowly pulled forward before turning around and running the kid over.
The threat was over, Pierre was no longer in danger. This was revenge.
"I saw the gun on the floor," Fleur added. "The arm was on the floor near the gun."
Somebody tell this guy that when it's outside, it's called "the ground".

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has announced the hiring of three staff members, including a new legislative assistant from Juneau.
Miles Baker, who until recently was a top aide to Senate Finance Committee Co-Chairman Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, is joining Murkowski after several years working for the Alaska Legislature.
Baker, a Juneau resident, will move to Washington, D.C., where he'll work on finance and budgeting issues.
Baker began his professional career as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps serving with two units in Okinawa, Japan.
He graduated from West Anchorage High School and the U.S. Naval Academy, and received an Master of Business Administration degree from UCLA's Anderson School of Business.
Also joining Murkowski's staff are Tara L. Shaw, who will be her new legislative director.
Shaw comes to Murkowski from the Department of Homeland Security, but previously worked For Sens. Pete Domenici, R-New Mexico and George Voinovich, R-Ohio.
Also joining Murkowski's staff as a legislative assistant is U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Warren Wright as a Coast Guard fellow working on issues involving the Department of Homeland Security and air and maritime issues. He's been previously based in Kodiak for Bering Sea assignments.
In a press release announcing the hirings, Murkowski said the new staffers' experience would help them to "hit the ground running on issues crucial to our unique state."
An additional high profile vacancy, her fisheries aide, has yet to be filled, said spokesman Matthew Felling.
Murkowski's senior staff members have been conducting an expedited search during the recess to replace Arne Fuglvog, he said. They expect to have a short list for the senator to consider next week.

CMS requires that healthcare providers who provide care to Medicare and Medicaid patients attest to Meaningful Use (MU). Certain providers also have to report PQRS measures to the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS).
If you are eligible, you can earn incentives for complying, but if you fail to attest to MU or report to PQRSyou will face penalties which increase annually. By 2017, non-compliance can reduce Medicare Part B reimbursements by up to 10%. (This gap may continue to increase if less than 75% of providers comply).
Our staff can explain the details of the incentive, penalty and adjustment system used by CMS to drive compliance. We can advise how to attest to MU and earn incentives for implementing Health IT via the EHR Incentive Programs. If you are not eligible for the incentives, you will still need to attest to MU to avoid the penalties separately via the CMS' Attestation Form. If you are eligible to participate in PQRS, get started via the PQRS page.
CMS and EOHHS monitor compliance with the Health IT laws through the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs. If you are eligible, you can receive up to $44,000 (Medicare) or $63,750 (Medicaid) for implementing Health IT. The amount is per eligible provider, so for a multi-provider practice this adds up to a substantial total. Incentive payments are disbursed upon reaching consecutive CEHRT and Meaningful Use implementation milestones. Read more
If you fail to attest to Meaningful Use, you will incur a 1% to 2% penalty on your 2014 Part B reimbursements. This penalty will increase by 1% every year until it reaches 3% in 2017. If by 2018 less than 75% of eligible providers are meaningful users, the penalty will continue to increase to 5%. The penalties are applied with a 2 year delay. For instance, a 2015 penalty will be deducted from 2017 reimbursements
If you are eligible to report PQRS measures and choose not to report, you will be subject to 4% to 6% in penalties on your Part B reimbursements. If you do report, you may receive a -2% to +2% adjustment. The gap between reporting versus ignoring PQRS can therefore add up to 8% to your reimbursements. Furthermore, the MU penalties will be applied too. Read more

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Thursday was a volatile day for nearby Class III futures as follow-through buying from the Dairy Product Sales Report of Wednesday afternoon pushed futures as much as .32 cents higher. But buying faded and sell-pressure picked up steam with the sell-off in barrel cheese prices and mostly lower USDA International Prices.
Barrel cheese fell 5.25 cents on 7 trades to finish at $1.4075, the lowest settlement since Jan. 11, 2011. Blocks were left unchanged, pushing the spread out to 8 cents. Such a spread can last for a short time. But given the general negativity in the marketplace, we expect block sellers to make an appearance sooner rather than later. Still, futures carry a substantial premium to the spot prices and we expect that structure to stay in place, perhaps become more exacerbated with nearby contracts falling harder than deferred months, but that further weakness in spot will lead to the full re-test of the early March lows for Class III contracts through at least the 3rd quarter (ex. $14.20 for May).
Furthermore, a weekly review of the CFTC's Commitment of Traders Report continues to show that it is the commercial buyer ― not producer seller ― who has more Class III and cheese futures "coverage" for this year. For Class III, Commercial hedge "long positions" ought weighed Commercial hedge "short positions" by over 4,000 futures and options contracts. For cheese, that figure is near 5,000 contracts, both of which corroborates what we see in terms of order flow for both Class III and Cheese futures and options. Commercial buyers are still seeking coverage through year-end with more enthusiasm than dairy farmers. Producers who do not have coverage ought to call to discuss strategy.
On the other hand, although weather throughout the country is still largely beneficial for the production of milk (even the Central Valley is getting good rain for this time of year), we are reminded by several weather sources of the potential for supply-debilitating heat in the West and Midwest this summer. These are issues; however, the futures market is not overtly concerned with today.
The grain markets rested the bearish trend for a session, as the complex surged higher led by the soybean market. The grains as a whole were supported by a substantial drop in the U.S. dollar, supportive outside market rallies, strong U.S. exports, and talk of an impending overnight frost across parts of the Midwest. May beans closed 19 cents higher at $14.41 with the May wheat close behind, up 11 ¼ cents and settling at $6.39 ¼. The May corn was the lager of the three, only posting a 1 ½ cent gain to close out at $6.37 ½. All eyes will be focused on the weather to determine whether this supposed imminent frost takes hold and the duration and damage it may have. Look for the grains to find support into the end of the week.
We look for corn to open 1 to 2 cents higher and for beans to open 1 to 3 higher.

Pete Doherty revealed that he knows who sold the photographs with Kate snorting cocaine to the Daily Mirror newspaper
If you wanna know who's the person behind supermodel Kate Moss cocaine scandal, you can ask her boyfriend Pete Doherty. The man has recently revealed that he knew who's the traitor.
However, Doherty refused to mention the names, instead of simply saying on Breaking News "Yeah, I know. Everybody knows. Something nasty is going to happen."
As for Moss, she reportedly will be arrested and questioned as soon as she arrives in Britain from the United Stated, where she currently checked into a rehabilitation center, to treat her drug addiction. Moreover, Doherty and Mick Jones will also be investigated because of their presence in the studio, while Moss was using drugs.

FRANKFORT -- Years ago, the Bullitt County Health Department staff knew that something must be done to combat the affects of smoking and second-hand smoke in the community.
Elected officials for Bullitt County and its eight municipalities never argued that having a ban on smoking in public places was not a healthy approach to combat those concerns.
When the Bullitt County Health Board saw no action forthcoming from legislative bodies, it decided to adopt a smoking ban in public places in March 2011.

Cape Town - Eben Etzebeth will only be ready to play in three to four weeks' time, according to Stormers coach Allister Coetzee, who doubts that the big man will feature for the Springboks next month.
Etzebeth has been taking his first steps back from an ankle injury over the last few weeks, and he was again running a few laps in Bellville on Monday.
He was included in the 36-man Bok training squad by coach Heyneke Meyer on Monday, but Coetzee said that the Stormers medical team cannot be overruled by the Bok doctors to determine whether Etzebeth can play against the World XV, Wales and Scotland.
The other locks named for a four-day camp in Durban from Sunday include Victor Matfield, Flip van der Merwe and Cheetahs youngster Lood de Jager. So there could a shortage of second-row options, although Bakkies Botha can always be called up.
"Eben will definitely not play before the (Test) break. I don't know what the Boks are going to do - it's something that our and the Bok medical teams will have to discuss. Our medical team is convinced that it won't happen before the break," Coetzee said on Monday.
"I'll say it's another three to four weeks before he is ready to play, so I doubt he'll be able to play in the World XV game. You can get him really ready for Super Rugby in the next four weeks, at a push.
"(The Bok medics) can't just say that he's ready as we own him. It's highly unlikely that he will play. And I don't think that Heyneke would risk him as Eben is too valuable."
Players based in France, England and Ireland were not considered for the camp. Meyer rewarded a number of stand-outs from Super Rugby - Damian de Allende, Jacques du Plessis, Marnitz Boshoff, S'bura Sithole and Cornal Hendricks.
But he made a couple of surprising calls, with Cheetahs flank Oupa Mohoje, Bulls prop Marcel van der Merwe, Stormers flank Siya Kolisi and Bulls centre JJ Engelbrecht all picked.
Others who had performed more consistently are Lions props Schalk van der Merwe and Julian Redelinghuys, Stormers flank Nizaam Carr and Cheetahs centres Rayno Benjamin and Johann Sadie.
Schalk Burger makes his return from illness and injury, while Heinrich Brüssow did enough to make the cut too. "Victor and Schalk have been out of rugby for a long time. They've really been in great form recently and the fact that they have not been with the Boks for more than two years has made them hungry for Test rugby yet again," Meyer said.
"I'm also looking forward to working with Heinrich for the first time. He's been playing very well for the Cheetahs and brings a lot of experience."
However, Meyer's plans suffered a major blow as centre Jaque Fourie could be out for six months with an ankle injury. Fourie's agent Hilton Houghton told the Cape Times on Monday that Fourie had felt the injury while playing for Japanese club Kobe. "It was treated as a sprain and was nothing too serious. But he started training for the Boks and it was feeling loose and wasn't as stable. The guys advised that it could get a lot worse, so the best thing now is to sort it out now, especially with the World Cup coming up," Houghton said.
"And one has to bear in mind that his club pay him and want him fixed for their season. It could be up to six months, but we're hoping it's three or four. The operation is (today)."
Coetzee was pleased about De Allende's call-up. "It's a great story from where he started at Varsity Cup. It shows that versatility is a massive thing. Hopefully he can keep on performing and make the final squad."
De Allende said he didn't want to get ahead of himself. "Being named is a huge honour for me, but I will continue to take things one step at a time and keep my feet on the ground," the 22-year-old said.
The final squad for the June Tests will be named on May 31.
Forwards (20): Tendai Mtawarira, Trevor Nyakane, Marcel van der Merwe, Jannie du Plessis, Frans Malherbe, Coenie Oosthuizen, Bismarck du Plessis, Adriaan Strauss, Eben Etzebeth, Lood de Jager, Victor Matfield, Flip van der Merwe, Heinrich Brüssow, Marcell Coetzee, Siya Kolisi, Willem Alberts, Jacques du Plessis, Oupa Mohoje, Duane Vermeulen, Schalk Burger.
Backs (16): Fourie du Preez, Francois Hougaard, Johan Goosen, Marnitz Boshoff, Jean de Villiers, Damian de Allende, Jan Serfontein, Juan de Jongh, JJ Engelbrecht, S'bura Sithole, Frans Steyn, Lwazi Mvovo, Bjorn Basson, JP Pietersen, Cornal Hendricks, Willie le Roux.

NEIL CAVUTO, ANCHOR: With us now, Connecticut Democratic Congressman Jim Himes.
Congressman, I guess you would call this a Barack Obama rally, then?
REP. JIM HIMES D-CONN.: Well, Neil, I think, whatever you call it, the fact remains that, a year ago, we saw negative 6 percent GDP growth, and, in the last quarter, we saw a positive 5.6 percent GDP growth.
Look, the facts speak for themselves. Look at the market. Look at the quarter. Look at how the market has performed in the last 18 months. Talk to anybody in business out there and they will tell you that we're living in a radically different world than we were living in a year ago.
Now, nobody can predict the future. You know, we have got a very serious fiscal issue to deal with, a debt overhang we need to do deal with. But I think that anybody who is paying attention, anybody who is serious, would say that, today, where we are, compared to where we were exactly one year ago, is a pretty staggering economic improvement.
CAVUTO: All right, you know, it could just be a cycle, too, right? I mean, presidents and parties love to take bows for stuff when things happen their way, but recessions, bear markets, 18 to 24 months, that tends to be their lease on life. And this one was un-leasing its life, so to speak.
So, maybe that's all that happened here. And with all this spending, yes, something was bound to stick. But the bill for it sticks longer. What do you make of that?
HIMES: Well, Neil, you know, when you get out of the political world, and you listen to serious people, when I got to Congress a year ago, pretty much everybody, economists of the left and the right, said we're experiencing one of the most severe recessions we have ever seen, and you need a response, you need a stimulus.
There was no disagreement over that. Now, I suppose, with the -- with hindsight and now that, clearly, the economy has turned, and we hope that that continues to express itself in actually jobs being created, but now that the economy has turned, the financial markets are -- are stable, you know, yes, the Republicans are going to say, nah, that stimulus had nothing to do with it.
Now, that's just baloney.
CAVUTO: Well, by the way, with all due respect, Congressman -- and you're a very smart guy -- but not everyone was saying back then that stimulus was the way to go. Others argued keeping interest rates low and cooling it on constant bailouts was another way to go.
HIMES: Well, I will tell you that I....
CAVUTO: But we can go back in history. We can go back in history. I know the various economic groups that said you have got to goose this economy one way or the other. We could differ over how it was goosed. But you're right, that the end results could be the proof in the pudding.
What I'm wondering...
HIMES: And listen to people to Ben Bernanke, right, Ben Bernanke, serious guy, appointed by a Republican president.
CAVUTO: All right. I love Ben Bernanke, but Ben wasn't exactly astute to see this financial crisis when it hit in 2008. So, there's a lot of blame to go around.
All I'm saying, Congressman, is that do you, in your heart of hearts, believe that more government spending would then be in order to keep this going?
HIMES: Look, this policy problem was always a problem of timing.
When we were experiencing the kind of economic distress that we felt a year ago, the answer was very clearly that the government needed to step in, in classic Keynesian fashion, and do exactly what it did. Was it perfect? No. Could we have done a more efficient, economically, stimulus? Probably.
But, hey, the proof is in the pudding. The facts are the facts, and the numbers are the numbers. Now we're in a world where GDP is looking...
CAVUTO: So, you don't give any credit just to the fact that interest rates have been very, very low...
HIMES: Interest -- low interest rates...
CAVUTO: ... and we were already as low as we could go, and it was hard to go much lower? You don't buy any of that?
HIMES: No, no, no, no, no, you're putting words in my mouth here. I was talking about the stimulus. The stimulus helped. Zero real interest rates helped. The massive expansion of the Fed's balance sheet also helped. Now, all that stuff is politically uncomfortable, but now we need to turn that around, right?
CAVUTO: Well, no. No, no, Congressman, I just want to be clear. Maybe I misunderstood you, sir.
You're -- you're saying that, had it not been for stimulus, which you apparently see hand in hand with low interest rates, we would not have seen the thousands of extra points on the Dow that we have seen since?
HIMES: That's not what I said.
I said that, in the last year, you have seen a very substantial stimulus, you've seen very low interest rates, and you've seen an expansion of the Fed's balance sheet. Those three things working in concert have had a profound positive effect on the economy.
HIMES: And now the challenge is precisely what you're talking about. We see good growth, so now is the hard part, taking away the punch bowl.
Rates will need to go up if we're not to see inflation. The fiscal situation will need to be brought in order. And nobody likes that stuff, but, if we're to set the stage now for long-term growth, we're going to do those things.
CAVUTO: All right.
Well, Congressman, I appreciate you coming here. Very good having you.
HIMES: Thank you.
CAVUTO: All right.

SMEs must overcome leadership hurdle to achieve growth plans
- Two thirds plan to grow in next one to two years
- But nearly half believe they have the wrong people in charge to succeed
- Two fifths are stuck in limbo as a result
UK SMEs are chasing new growth as the economy heals, but they are also questioning whether they have the right people in charge to succeed, according to a new study from ABN AMRO Commercial Finance.
The Road to Growth report finds that over two thirds (69 per cent) of SMEs are planning to grow over the next one to two years but, that nearly half (44 per cent) of senior decision makers do not think they have the right people in place to reach their potential.
Over half (55 per cent) of decision-makers admit delaying strategic decisions during the tough economic period, but now nearly six in ten (58 per cent) are more actively considering growth opportunities than they were last year.
However, two fifths (40 per cent) feel their business is currently stuck in a state of limbo, putting their ambitious growth goals in peril. Almost a quarter (22 per cent) of decision makers believe that it is the differing priorities of business leaders that are holding their company back.
Indeed, one in four decision-makers (24 per cent) believe differing growth priorities have become more pronounced during the recession and nearly a third (31 per cent) of business leaders admit they have very different business growth priorities from their counterparts.
Peter Ewen, Managing Director at ABN AMRO Commercial Finance, comments: "With the recent positive economic news, it's great that SMEs are thinking about growth again. With renewed enthusiasm, the SME community can really help turn these new green shoots into a sustainable recovery.
"More than ever though, SMEs need the right people in charge, to think about succession planning and exit strategies for shareholders, have the right backing and a clear direction of travel if they are to turn their business ambitions into economic reality."

Cady says the book has been "thoroughly vetted."
Here is an excerpt from WDRB.com:
She brought along her journals that claim she was paid for providing escort services to U of L players, recruits and some of their fathers from 2010 to 2014.
"Well, I read it to find out whether or not it was believable and whether or not it would be provable," Cady said.
Cady says that he and a publisher met with Powell 40 to 50 times during a six-month period. From phone calls and text messages to receipts and pictures, Cady says they have the proof.
They interviewed dancers and tried to talk with players, recruits and coaches.
"We did our homework, we did our job, we gathered the facts and sought to find the truth," he said. "And we believe that the book itself is pretty convincing."

Decision makers
- NBC, Meet the Press
Replace David Gregory
David Gregory again misrepresented the President of the United States on Meet the Press on Sunday, September 30, 2012. Stating that the President said he destroyed Al Qaeda. David Plouffe corrected him and said Bin Laden had been brought to justice, as other leaders of the terrorist group. He stated the President was fundraising in Las Vegas day after Bengazi attack, when the President's schedule does not have fundrasing event scheduled. That was not true!
Its time for the decision makers at NBC to replace Gregory with someone the calibre of Tim Russert, becasue David Gregory is not nearly the measure of him. Rachel Maddow has a Ph.D. in Politics from Oxford University. She was a Rhodes Scholar and does her research. She would do well. Lawrence O'Donnell is another great journalist with experience in Congress. Both of them would be well assisted by Ezra Klein. He is very capable to assist and expand the perception of just a talk show.
- NBC, Meet the Press
I just signed the following petition addressed to: NBC, Meet the Press.
Replace David Gregory
He again misrepresented the President of the United States on Meet the Press on Sunday, September 30, 2012. Stating that the President said he "destroyed" Al Qaeda.

St. Ambrose has partnered with area community colleges to build articulation agreements outlining the transfer of courses between institutions. The purpose is to assist community college students in preparing for their admissions and transfer of their associate's degree, and to guide them as they become students at Ambrose.
Currently, a Dual Admission program has been designed with both Black Hawk College and Eastern Iowa Community College District. We encourage students to begin the process of transfer planning early, in order to get the most out of co-advising between the institutions. By following a suggested plan of study during your associate's degree, it's possible to have general education course(s) waived at St. Ambrose.

Pico De Gallo Seared Ahi
Recipe by Hadice
Tender tuna steak with roma tomatoes. Taken from "Eating for Life" by Bill Phillips. Very easy and healthy.
Top Review by Travis H.
This is a simple and amazing way to cook fresh tuna! I caught some yellow fin tuna a few days ago and found this tasty recipe to try first. I made everything exactly as listed except I grilled the tuna instead of frying in a skillet. I think this added a nice "smokey" flavor that would have otherwise been missing. The pico was hot (I almost added a serrano and changed my mind thankfully!) but can be adjusted with whatever chili flavor you like best. I will definitely be making this again. Very fresh tasting and healthy. Thank you Hadice!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 lime, halved
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
Directions See How It's Made
- In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, green onions, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro to make"Pico de Gallo" Cover and refrigerate to let flavors blend.
- Preheat a large skillet over high heat.
- Brush both sides of tuna with olive oil and season one side with black pepper.
- Add steaks to hot skillet, pepper side down.
- Sear for 2 minutes, then turn steak over and reduce heat to medium.
- Loosely cover skillet with foil and allow steaks to cook 5 minutes for rare, 7 minutes for medium.
- Serve on top of brown rice and spoon Pico de Gallo over each piece of tuna.
- Squeeze fresh lemon over the top and enjoy!

"I Dreamed a Dream," the famous song from "Les Miserables," describes my educational journey this year in Louisiana. As a veteran teacher, I am despondent over an educational system that equates test scores with success and devalues teachers as agents of creativity and change.
The Compass system, flawed to its core, essentially makes teachers an obsolete facilitator versus an engaged catalyst for learning. Students should direct their own learning, create their own assessments and evaluate themselves in some Utopian fantasy. Compass rewards interactive learning, denigrating all other styles, including lecture-style learning, which most students will encounter in college.
My paycheck will depend in part on the scores of temperamental, hormonal teenagers who aren't responsible adults yet. People use the analogy of stockbrokers who earn bonuses based on successful portfolios, but educators are not handling inanimate stocks. The time we invest will take years to bear fruit, but legislators and parents want results now. We don't pay doctors based on patient mortality rate, so why is a teacher paid according to teenager performance?
State Education Superintendent John White has publicly stated there is no exodus of teachers, and that those choosing to leave are the ineffective ones. Such callous disregard for human beings is unbecoming of a leader charged with improving the state of education. One does not save a child by savaging a teacher.
I am blamed — three simple words, but they sum it all. Student failure does not reflect on student motivation, home life, parenting skills, economic status or geographic location. A dentist is not blamed for the cavities of his patients, but I am blamed if a student fails.
The closing lines to the song above are prophetic: "I dreamed a dream my life would be, so different from this hell I'm living. So different now from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream I dream."

By 6:30 the next morning, I'm in a cab, speeding past the well-fortified mansions of Avenida Francisco Zarco on my way out of Chihuahua. The mansions fade to smaller buildings, then to tire shops, and then to abandoned storefronts adorned with graffiti and barbed wire.
The taxi stops at a storefront on a roundabout. It's incredibly windy but, inside, there is a pot of freshly brewed coffee.
Before long, Juanito arrives and herds us into the van. After one more stop outside the city, the van is beyond capacity; one man crouches on the floor. We stop again at Villa Ahumada so that a pair of companionable grandmothers can buy several pounds of the famous local cheese and the rest of us can order our fill of burritos. There, I meet Ricardo and Allen Prieto, a father-son duo from Albuquerque. Ricardo says they've lived there for nearly 30 years, but they come back to Chihuahua a few times a year to visit relatives. Before long, we reach the first customs stop, where a sniper waits at an intersection under a dusty, blue Pepsi tent, surrounded by stacks of old car tires.
The inspection is routine but, as we draw closer to the border, there's a glint of metal. The line of cars is not as long as Saturday's, but it still could take hours.
"It's the drug harvest; that's why it's so slow," someone murmurs.
Without warning, Juanito jerks the van's wheel to the right and, suddenly, we're driving through the desert.
"I'm not going to cross; I'm just going to get you guys closer so you can walk," he explains, deftly maneuvering the van over sand and gravel. There's a collective groan. A soldier in fatigues stops us.
"Where are you going?" he asks.
"I'm just going to drop them off at the border," Juanito says.
"You're not crossing?"
"No, I'm just dropping them off."
"And, excuse me, but why did you get out of line?" the soldier asks. The van is idling at a crazy angle, with two wheels on asphalt and two on sand.
"It was taking too long, and since I'm not crossing…" Juanito trails off.
"OK," the soldier says. Shrugging, he waves us through.
A few feet from the black metal fence that delineates the division between countries, Juanito stops the van. We pile out and lug our baggage into an airy, modern office, where a friendly border guard greets everyone in Spanish.
"Can we just walk right through?" a woman asks.
"Sure, but I'll detain you!" the guard jokes. Everyone seems to think it's funny.
When he checks my passport, the guard doesn't seem to care that I never bought the required tourist permit or even had it stamped.
"Where were you?" he asks.
"Chihuahua," I say.
"You have family there?"
"Um, no."
"Why'd you go?"
"To Chihuahua?"
He raises his eyebrows. "Brave girl," he says.
On the other side, Juanito—who crossed after all—bids us goodbye, and we transfer into the US-side van and settle in for another five-hour tour. As we merge onto Pete V Domenici Memorial Highway ("the newest borderland multi-lane transportation link," according to the state's Border Authority), someone passes me a copy of the Chihuahuan newspaper Juanito bought for us to share.
The news that day is as grim as ever: In Juárez, another three people have been executed. Two journalists, after receiving death threats, have left the country. In Hidalgo de Parral, a city in southern Chihuahua, the doctors' fears came true: A suspected drug trafficker had followed his intended victim into a medical clinic to "re-kill" him and ended up shooting patients. Most striking is a report that the past two years represent both an unprecedented increase in drug violence and a 19 percent decline in investigations by the Mexican attorney general.
"There are more deaths than investigations," the article—published without a byline—states simply.
Somewhere north of Las Cruces, we pull over to use the bathrooms at a gas station staffed by non-Spanish-speaking attendants. The grandmothers, linking arms, stand in the center of the convenience store, looking lost.
"They don't have bathrooms," one of them says in disappointment.
Ricardo points to a sign that reads, "Rest Room."
"Ah!" they say. "Gracias!"
The sun sets and, by the time we reach Santa Fe, it is dark and freezing again. We say our goodbyes, and the grandmothers urge me to stay with them the next time I come to Chihuahua.
The next morning, I check the US papers. News of the narcoguerra is nowhere to be found. SFR

Jill Hope, Secretary for The Ongar Club for the Handicapped, explains how the disabled and those with pushchairs often find their pavement obstructed by vehicles in Ongar.
They are forced to resort to dangerous detours, going into the road around parked vehicles. Even pedestrians can have difficulty squeezing past cars that take up most of the path. She asks for motorists to be more considerate.

CLEVELAND – Here's what Derek Fisher said was the best part about the Lakers winning in Boston on Thursday night: "It didn't require any superhuman performances by only one guy. It took contributions from everybody to do what they had to do to help us win. And that's more typical of what it'll take for us to be champions."
Then the Lakers did the exact same thing Sunday in Cleveland to win again. And again, they looked every bit like they are on the road to being champions.
With Kobe Bryant blindsided by a stomach virus, Lamar Odom had 28 points and 17 rebounds and almost everyone else helped with a second-half defensive stand that keyed the Lakers' 101-91 victory. One game after the Lakers ended Boston's 12-game winning streak, they handed Cleveland its first home loss in 24 outings this season.
All the Clevelanders in LeBron James jerseys were witnesses to other history: The Lakers swept all six games on a trip that included a stomach-dropping serious injury to Andrew Bynum near the start and a team-chemistry-risking trade of Vladimir Radmanovic near the end.
It matched the best trip in club history, the Lakers' February 2000 6-0 trip during Bryant's and Shaquille O'Neal's first championship season. It was also the Lakers' first victory in Cleveland since O'Neal's last season with the Lakers in 2004.
"It was really satisfying for us to prove ourselves on the road against some really, really good teams," said Pau Gasol, who had 18 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and no turnovers despite a sore right wrist.
The Lakers rallied from a 61-51 halftime deficit by allowing Cleveland only 16 points in the third quarter and 14 in the fourth. James shot 5 for 20 from the field and scored 16 points to go with 12 assists and eight rebounds.
Bryant helped keep the Lakers within striking distance by scoring 13 first-half points while shadowing James. Bryant had been ill all day, vomiting before the game and taking one liter of intravenous fluids at halftime. He took another IV after scoring 19 points in 35 minutes, but he left his mark with a spectacular fadeaway moonball over James with 3:06 to play for a 95-89 Lakers lead.
"He laid what he had out there," Fisher said. "He's probably going to pay for it for a couple of days. It says a lot about him."
Although the Lakers would love for newcomer Adam Morrison to develop into a rotation contributor next season, they are unlikely to retain Morrison's restricted-free-agency rights by making him the required qualifying offer of nearly $7 million for 2010-11 Morrison could still re-sign with the Lakers as an unrestricted free agent in 2010.
For this season, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak hinted that the other player acquired from Charlotte on Saturday – guard Shannon Brown – might more likely find a useful role as a situational perimeter defender.
Brown will wear No. 12 for the Lakers; Morrison will wear No. 6.
