Story highlights
- The Brimfield Facebook page is the third most liked police page in the United States
- Chief David Oliver isn't shy about having little patience for "mopes," or criminals
- Criminal justice and sociological experts say his approach could have mixed results
Brimfield Township Police Chief David Oliver keeps a picture of John Wayne in his office, but admits it's hard to know what the Duke would say about a self-described old-school cop using Facebook to sound off about enforcing the law in a small Ohio town.
"I'd like to think he'd appreciate that we're communicating effectively with people," Oliver said. "But have a low tolerance for nonsense."
The police chief has earned national headlines for poking fun at so-called mopes, or suspected criminals, on his department's Facebook page.
Oliver's candid comments have made it the third most viewed police department page in the United States, according to Nancy Kolb, senior program manager for the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
With more than 64,000 likes, it trails only the New York City Police Department and the Boston Police Department.
"Up and at 'em. It's 65 degrees outside of the Center for Mope Studies," Oliver wrote in a typical post this week.
The chair of Brimfield's board of trustees says Oliver's teasing of criminals is in good fun, while criminal justice experts say it falls in a gray area between traditional practices and the unethical.
Oliver launched the Facebook page in 2010, after viewing a couple police department pages and deciding one would fit into his management philosophy, which is to try to run the department like a business and serve the community from within.
He and his staff of 16 full-time officers say they want social media to work for those they serve.
"If our customers are on Facebook and Twitter, we have to be there engaging them," said Oliver, who spoke by phone from Brimfield. "The more we communicate, the more we inform, the less people are suspicious of us."
'It takes away the moral high ground'
Brimfield Township is a suburb of Kent, Ohio, with a population of more than 10,000 that is growing rapidly again after being hit hard by years of economic downturn, said Mike Kostensky, the chairman of its board of trustees.
He has known Oliver for 12 years.
"Dave has such a way with words," Kostensky said. "He makes people comfortable. His office is open to anybody. I guess it's a little bit of how small town America used to be."
But not everyone sees productive humor in Oliver's Facebook discussions.
Steven Lab, a professor of criminal justice and chairman of the Department of Human Services at Bowling Green State University, says Oliver's posts only deepen the divide between authorities and people who are suspicious of the system, but are often the most in need of its help.
"It takes away the moral high ground of whoever is supposed to be in charge," Lab said. "It's going to raise more disrespect."
Oliver disagrees.
He got the term "mope" from the 1970s police show "Kojak," and stresses his teasing of suspects is just a part of what he posts.
"A mope is a person who leeches off us and usually is engaged in criminal activity," Oliver wrote recently. "We do not believe everyone who has ever committed a crime is a mope. People change."
On June 20, the police chief likened the Brimfield police station to a ship in the U.S. Navy.
"It's 54 degrees outside of Mope-us Interruptus," he wrote in a post that also thanked World War II veterans, wished singer Lionel Richie happy birthday and quoted comedian Jay Leno.
Sometimes, Oliver details calls to police and their response.
"I think that as a society we have become desensitized," he said. "I'm trying to keep a lot of the criminal element in plain view, so we can address some of the causes and the results of the crime."
'I just don't get along well with criminals'
Lab, who doesn't use Facebook and had not viewed the Brimfield page, said now that it has gone viral, it no longer serves its intended purpose because the majority of its audience is in no way connected with Brimfield.
"It's titillating," he said of the page's surge in popularity. "It's morbid voyeurism by people in general."
Molly Merryman, associate chair of sociology in the Criminology and Justice Studies program at Kent State University, which is about 15 minutes from Brimfield, says social media plays an increased role in informing communities like Brimfield that are not connected to a major media market.
"He's been a chief for a long time and knows his community very well," she said. If the Facebook page is "an extension of the police department and has the community's blessing, then it certainly can be appropriate."
Merryman said the U.S. criminal justice system has a long history of public shaming that can be traced to the Puritans. Shaming is still commonly used in the juvenile justice system, where the goal is to make the violator recognize society's expectation for proper behavior, she said.
Oliver said that while what he posts about alleged criminals is public record, he never uses names, pictures or exact locations when discussing suspects' purported actions.
"I don't want anybody humiliated," he said. "I'm very sensitive to collateral damage by people who commit crimes and I don't want a family member suffering."
According to the FBI, in 2011, approximately one crime was reported for every 36 people living in Brimfield Township. Almost 96% of reported crimes were property crimes, of which larceny and theft made up 80%. Brimfield Township reported no murders or homicides in 2011, and a total of 12 violent crimes, half of which were rape.
A native of nearby Akron, Ohio, Oliver has spent his entire 19 years as a police officer working in Brimfield, the last nine as chief.
"I'm an inner-city kid," he said. "I did my share of running the streets. ... I don't see color. I don't see sex. I have friends of all persuasions. I just don't get along well with criminals."

To me, instead of it being my day of rest, which it really should be, it was a day that I had to figure out how to entertain these little people who were not yet capable of entertaining themselves, while hosting guests, and while my very little kids would nap in the afternoon, I always had a 4 or 5 year old I needed to be there for.
I would count down the minutes until Shabbos ended and be thankful that I had an entire week until the next one arrived.
It is a little embarrassing to be saying this, but the only reason I am saying it is because I know there are moms out there who feel the same way I used to feel. And this blog post is for all of those moms to know that this feeling will not last forever.
In fact, Shabbos has become my absolute favorite day of the week now. And this is why:
I get to sleep in until 8am. I know, its 8am. But to me, that's sleeping in. My husband wakes up with the crew at 6am (yes, I have a bunch of early birds in this house) and they all have a full on Cholent party. I'm serious. They sit around the table and all eat a huge bowl of Cholent. At 6am. They look forward to it all week.
I don't have to cook. In an earlier post, I wrote how breakfast is a big deal in my house. No cereal and milk in this neck of the woods. Oh no, we have waffles, pancakes, french toast, muffins, eggs. Breakfast is a full on banquet here, which I am only too happy to make every morning, with the help of my little chefs. But on Shabbos, I come into the kitchen with a hot cup of coffee waiting for me. Kids are all fed and happy and I actually get to sit on the couch and drink my coffee in peace.
Did I just mention sitting on the couch? During the week, the only time I get to sit on the couch is when I am reading to my kids, which I absolutely love to do. But on Shabbos, when I sit on the couch, its to read a book or a magazine, quietly, to myself. It's the only time that I read actual books. During the week, there is always SOMETHING to get done and laying on the couch, feet reclined, and reading a book is not exactly on the agenda.
You CAN'T work. Yes, for all those who complain that you can't do X,Y, and Z on Shabbos, I say 'I know, how GREAT is that???' We CAN'T do laundry, we CAN'T wash dishes unless we need them, we CAN'T vacuum, we CAN'T go online, we CAN'T talk on the phone, we CAN'T drive- I mean, how AWESOME is that? A day to simply relax.
We eat as a family. During the week, my kids eat much earlier then my husband and I so we don't get to really sit down as a family and have a full on meal together like all the psychologists say families should. Everyone seems to be turning out pretty normal so I am not too worried. But on Shabbos, we eat as a family, and its wonderful. Granted, there is fighting and yelling because we are a normal family with a bunch of kids, but there is also lots of singing and laughter to go along with that and we all really appreciate and love it.
I get to hang out with friends. As in, sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and have actual conversations while the kids play outside. During the week, I just don't have nor make the time to socialize. I do 'Girls Night Out' once a month, but going out at night is really tiring for me so having friends come over on Shabbos, be it for lunch or afternoon tea is just so enjoyable. I know that I have nothing else that needs to be done so I can really enjoy my time to catch up and chat.
No cell phones. Need I say more?
We play games and take family walks. I know a lot of families have 'Game Night'- well, we have 'Game Shabbos Afternoon after Mommy and Daddy have finished Napping.' How do I get a nap you ask? We have a Shabbos party that the kids run. We have healthy nosh, including coconut milk ice cream, and the kids are now old enough to run it by themselves. One dishes out the ice cream, the other the snacks and they love it. All this time, I nap. Then we play games. Rummy, Chess, Shesh Besh/Backgammon (my 6 year old shocks every Israeli who plays her), Linkety, Battle Ship, Sorry and a few more. Some weeks, its just one game, others, its a few more. But its really fun!
So for all you moms who have a hard time on Shabbos with the little ones, those little ones will grow up to be pretty awesome kids that you can really have fun with. Hang in there, it gets pretty amazing~~~
Wishing you all a wonderful week,

Who's really the greatest and most talented director creating science fiction movies today? Note: We didn't include any directors who haven't worked in the genre this decade. We also left out McG and Brett Ratner. If either of those guys is your favorite director, we're very sorry. Very, very sorry.

ARRA funds will repair aging infrastructure, improve water quality
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $105,948,300 million to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This new infusion of money provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will help the state and local governments finance many of the overdue improvements to wastewater projects that are essential to protecting public health and the environment across the state.
"EPA is pleased to provide almost $106 million in Recovery Act funds for much-needed improvements to Wisconsin's aging wastewater infrastructure, including sewer systems," said Bharat Mathur, acting regional administrator. "This money will protect human health and improve water quality while helping to create good jobs in the state."
The Recovery Act funds will go to the state's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund program provides low-interest loans for water quality protection projects for wastewater treatment, non-point source pollution control and watershed and estuary management. An unprecedented $4 billion will be awarded to fund wastewater infrastructure projects across the country under the Recovery Act in the form of low-interest loans, principal forgiveness and grants.
At least 20% of the funds provided under the Recovery Act are to be used for green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency improvements and other environmentally innovative projects.

The Panthers WR broke his arm while horsing around at his football camp. No, it wasn't on this high-five, but it was almost as embarrassing.
Steve Smith mostly survived seven years of being hung out to dry over the middle by Jake Delhomme (with only a broken leg and fractured arm to show for it.) I'm not sure if facing an eight-year-old QB at his youth camp was an upgrade or not, but things didn't end well there either.
Smith was playing defensive back, for some reason, in a game of flag football with his campers. He reached for an overthrown ball and tumbled to the ground, breaking his arm near the same place as he did last season. He had a plate put in late last night, and will miss much of training camp.
The Steve Smith Football Camp experience sounds like a good time. For just $189, campers get to spend the weekend extinguishing any playoff hopes the Panthers might have had. And also they get a t-shirt.

In a surprise move, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood stepped down this morning and announced he will be replaced by a collective of super nerds. Their first act is to institute these new equation-based speed limits.
The new "math-centric" signs are designed to help raise the nation's poor standing on education. Jalopnik interviewed one motorist passing by this prototype sign outside of LA who told us, "I get pulled over here all the time! The sign says ninety, right?"

L. Brooks Patterson releases 1st statement since Auburn Hills car crash
Oakland County Executive Patterson 'on the mend' since Aug. 10 car crash in Auburn Hills
PONTIAC, Mich. – Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson says he is "on the mend" since being seriously injured in an Aug. 10 car crash in Auburn Hills.
On Tuesday, Patterson released his first statement on the crash and his ongoing recovery.
"I'm on the mend and look forward to returning to the office soon," Patterson said. "I broke a hip, leg, ankle, five ribs and both wrists in the accident and they need some time to heal. I just completed my first week of intensive physical therapy and rehabilitation and am pleased to report it went very well. My staff meets with me daily and they have done an outstanding job handling day-to-day operations. My team remains committed to continuing to implement my enduring goal of making Oakland County among the best places to live, work, play, and raise a family."
Patterson's driver and two people in the other vehicle were injured. The county executive was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The driver of the other vehicle has been charged in the crash.
Patterson is in his 2nd week of rehabilitation at McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac. He plans to provide weekly updates about his condition and when he will be released.

It's been a while since I last posted things have been crazy at our house and I should be better at posting what is going on.
We had a wonderful Christmas and a Great New Year, Aaron and I ran the Beat the Ball 5k which was a blast, we started at 11:30 I was done just after midnight, Aaron finished in 29 minutes for him it was a good time he had been battling a cold and didn't feel well at all, but wanted to run anyway, our boys on the other hand were in bed and sleeping by 8 it made it an easy night for our wonderful Babysitter.
We still don't have any orders yet so we will try next month, we are truly blessed to have Aaron working in the Career Counselors office and they are working and making sure we get what we want. Right now he is at more training and has been doing great. We are very excited to be going back home to Minnesota for 3 weeks in March, Erica is getting married, Haleigh is getting baptized, Katy is having her baby and we are running the Lucky 7 and KK's 4th birthday Party. So much to stuff into three weeks but it will be great to be surround by our family again.
Peyton has been pretty healthy and hasn't needed to have another dilation which is wonderful it's been a year since his last one and he is doing great. He has started speech and he loves his therapist Liz, he is being seen twice a week, we are trying to get the in home speech program through the city so I don't have be out at therapy 4 times a week. He does qualify for it we just need to do the educational interview and than they will set up his speech in home.
KK is KK we finally took the boys into the eye doc and found that Kodi has great eye sight and KK has astigmatism so he has very cute glasses and loves that he can see. He is doing great on learning his colors and ABC's. He loves playing and of course watching TV. He is also 4 inches shorter than Kodi I believe that Kodi is 41 inches and KK is 37 or 38 inches tall. I have very tall boys. It's hard to remember that KK is only 3 and not older, soon enough he will be 4 and he is looking forward to his birthday.
Kodi is doing great he LOVES school and his teacher, he works hard and enjoys learning. He grades are great and he is working hard to do his best. His speech is coming along and he loves Tia his therapist, His OT is great he doesn't like that he has to miss school for OT and just wants this therapy with Rhonda to be shorter like Speech, but we do our best and he is coming along.
He is reading and loves it when he finds words he knows. I know that reading will be a harder task for him and we are doing our best to teach him and give him the tools he needs.
I hope to do more posting and be better at it.

The Holiday where Christians will adorn their white robes to deliver salvation to the evil devil children Halloween by giving them Bibles instead of Candy.
It started yesterday when my Sister, who knows and hates that I'm atheist, asked me what I was doing for Halloween. Instantly I knew something was off because my Sister is just too Jesus-y to celebrate such an evil Holiday.Oh, she dresses her boyfriend's kids up (as angels, knights, & princesses) all right but then she ruins it by taking them to the church so they can pray to Jesus. Oh joy!
When I was a kid she did that to me but bitched the entire time because I dressed up as a zombie devil princess and I ate candy during prayer. What can I say I was eight!.
Anyways I told her I wasn't going to have time to do anything this year because the guys were working that night. So I would be home alone watching every horror movie in my arsenal of awesome in the dark. She scoffed at the mention of my horror movies and asked me if instead I would like to join her for ……. Jesus-Ween…..
Jesus-Ween; where Jesus gets your candy and you get a book. After she went on about it for several minutes I set my phone down and looked it up myself… To my horror she wasn't lying. After a quick glance over of their web site I just had to ask her.
"Carol, let me ask you a question"
"How many kids typically come to your door where you live?"
"I don't know, maybe 60 -70 kids, why?"
"You do realize you're going to have to fork out $140 bucks to have enough Bibles to cover just the kids that show up at your door"
*SIGH* "You mean to tell me your going to fork out $140 dollars plus shipping to some Religious group that doesn't have to pay taxes, just so you can hand out Bibles to little kids?"
"YEAH, what's wrong with that?"
"A lot! If I was a kid and you handed me a Bible instead of candy I would hit you with it then TP your entire house and yard".
"OMG, what is wrong with you Halloween is filled with sin and you have the chance to do something good for it".
"Oh you're funny; I am doing a lot of good by not subjecting children to that horrible book or making some jerk off rich but good luck with that".
Personally I now feel like getting all my friends to dress up as Jesus, their kids included, and we all go hit up these Jesus-ween houses.
Views: 721
Jesusween? For crying out loud...
The lengths they'll go to to stop anyone expressing themselves in any kind of way that they disagree with is beyond belief. Not too keen on anyone suggesting stopping them expressing their beliefs, though, are they?
Live and let live doesn't mean much to fundie Christians.
And they wonder why atheists get annoyed with them...
I would be pretty upset with someone assuming it was cool to give my kid a bible even if I wasn't an Atheist. I have to agree with you her house would be the biggest target around after it got around that they were giving out bibles... I mean talk about trying to take any fun out of the holiday.
@ Graham
Not in the least. If Christians had their way they would convert the entire world tomorrow.
@ Jared Fish
I agree and later that night I even called my sister back to explain why I thought this was a bad idea. Tried to explain to her how offensive this might be to some people. That not all kids in the world are Christian and they deserved to have their fun. It's the one Holiday they can be what ever they want to be. She wouldn't listen, just said that God was the light or some crap and that all children needed to see that light.
In short they could care less who they offend as long as they got their message out.
Yeah it will make the dentist on the block who gives out floss and tooth brushes look cooler. I would laugh if someone down the street from her started giving out a mixed bag of holy books like the Koran, Book of Mormon, or some Vedas to the kids. I'd like see what her thoughts on that would be.
@ Jared Fish
HAHAHA, Lucky for the dentist, not so much for the kids. I love your idea of the mixed bag of holy books. That is a riot. I will definitely have to ask her about that. I can only imagine what she will say. Christianity is the ONLY true religion.
You can be the coolest house on the block by trading in those bibles for candy bars!
@ Mr Bill
I do believe you are a genius, thank you!!!
I think it's a good thing they are handing out bibles - maybe some of the kids will accidentally open it to ... I dunno, let's say any page ... and start reading for ... I dunno, a few lines ... and hopefully run into something that will scare the shit out of them and they convert on the spot. :)

Preview here:
I saw this movie at a screening in Arlington, VA last night. Our local cinema drafthouse. (Nice to drink a beer during a movie). The movie does a good job of telling the back story of the WS100. The 'inventor' of the race does some narrating, and what a story he has! Can a human run a horse race, and can he outrun the horses? That's the question in his mind in a time before gatorade, Gu's, camelbacks, etc. Fast forward to 2010, the movie interviews the top 4 athletes that will compete in this race. We're taken through their back story, some of their training. It is grounding to see that these world class athletes work in grocery stores, shoes stores, or are students. I think this reveals that the sport of ultrarunning is still in its infancy. One cannot make a living doing what few others can do. Surely other sports have started and grown into pop culture similarly.
On the critical side, this movie doesn't take us through the lives and abilities of the non-elites. The movie-goer sees only the side of the few runners competing for the top honors. Seeing the elites' feats is amazing, but doesn't necessarily inspire others to do the same. Some may be jealous of people that break records in every race they run ;). By contrast, 'Hood to Coast' or 'Spirit of The Marathon' - two running movies that spend equal time on the middle of the pack'ers. I am the type who'd like to finish a magnificent race like this in the middle of my age group.
My favorite sub-plot was the story of the early life of Killian. His mom explains how she raised him and how he used the tools she taught him to hike, navigate, survive. As a parent I was touched by this and take it to heart.
If you're at all into running, see the movie! I was 38years old before I learned that humans actually ran ultramarathons! Get exposed to this culture, see if it's for you. ((note: Sadly I didn't make the WS100 lottery this year, but I will keep trying.))

Welcome Back
In today's post a couple of pictures of the snow we had here the other week. My attempt at a snowman didn't go entirely to plan, the body was a pile of snow. But since we had powdery snow I was unable to make a decent snow ball so couldn't do his head properly. DH had a go and his snowball is on top…hense Nearly Headless Nick. Fans of Harry Potter will get the joke 😉
The garden looked very beautiful in the snow
This is the heaviest snowfall we have had in SE England in about 20 years and the first before Christmas in 30 years. As ever in the UK, all the snow was gone in a week.
Please send healing thoughts this way though, between playing in the snow and sorting out the birds, I have hurt my back again 😦 Wrecked it Christmas eve. If I sit very still it only aches, moving hurts like hell. I'll try to keep posting, but if rest will fix my back, then I'll need to take the time to let it recover.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂


text: Digital Yahoo sues Facebook for infringing 10 patents related to advertising, social networking, messaging, more By Kathleen De Vere|March 12, 2012 Share By Kathleen De Vere|March 12, 2012 Share Yahoo has decided to sue Facebook over patent infringement, filing a 19-page lawsuit in San Jose federal court today.The suit concerns 10 patents Yahoo holds related to advertising, privacy, customization, messaging and social networking. Last week Yahoo threatened to take legal action against the social network unless it began paying Yahoo licensing fees. The lawsuit could negatively affect Facebook's initial public offering expected later this spring.In light of the suit, Facebook released the following statement: We're disappointed that Yahoo, a longtime business partner of Facebook and a company that has substantially benefited from its association with Facebook, has decided to resort to litigation. Once again, we learned of Yahoo's decision simultaneously with the media. We will defend ourselves vigorously against these puzzling actions. Yahoo is asking for Facebook to be permanently prevented from any further infringement of Yahoo's patents, for Facebook to be ordered to pay Yahoo triple damages due to the "willful and deliberate nature of the infringement" and for both pre- and post-judgement interest on damages. Yahoo is also asking for Facebook to pay all legal costs associated with the court case.According to AllThingsD, Yahoo's new CEO Scott Thompson is behind the aggressive move as he seeks to turn the company's flagging fortunes around. Many industry watchers are puzzled over the move, considering the benefit Yahoo has seen from integrating Facebook's Open Graph — just three weeks ago Facebook used Yahoo as an example of a success story on its mobile platform. Yahoo took similar, albeit less potentially damaging actions against Google before its IPO in 2004. The full legal filing is below:Complaint Share http://adweek.it/2jGivdQ copy Adweek Adweek

Now, living in Wilmington, i just bought a pair of Rip curl flashbomb 5mm split toe booties, because having warm to the touch booties seemed nice (rip curls new marketing gimmick), 5mm seemed like a good medium for down here (still not in boots, sorry to rub it in), and all i've been hearing as of late is that split toe booties are incredible. My shoe size is 10.5-11 and I wear size 10 xcel booties so i got rip curl in size 10. When I tried them on at the shop I bought along my trusty plastic bag which lets you put a boot on in seconds, and the 10 seemed to fit. I brought back home and tried em on without the bag and it took me like a good 3-5minutes that was a sweaty awkward workout. Hard as hell to get on, and I'm used to getting on xcel, hyperflex, and o'neill 7mm on, and they seemed somewhat small - but the 11 was definitely too big. I figure they will stretch out, but does anyone have any remedies to put on a boot besides the plastic bag (doesnt work well with plastic bags) or shampoo? gracias

Earlier in the week, just after the NCAA tournament brackets were announced, Roy Williams was asked if he thought the selection committee deliberately set certain matchups � specifically, North Carolina vs. Kansas � to help enhance television ratings.
He hedged his bets, naturally, saying only that when it comes to the people making those decisions, "I don�t know what goes through their minds."
Clearly the folks at CBS and Turner haven�t gotten enough of the "Roy and His Two Loves" story line.
But they might now be in the minority.
As witnessed by American Idol or Survivor after about their fourth or fifth seasons, even the most popular shows start getting stale once they�ve been around too long.
Today�s game in the NCAA�s South Region will mark the second straight year and third time since 2008 that the Tar Heels and Jayhawks have met one another in the postseason.
Judging from the mostly positive reception Williams has gotten from the fans at Sprint Center this week and the media�s general lack of interest in the worn out narrative, the day in which UNC-Kansas has become just another big game on the road to the Final Four may finally have arrived.
"I had some people that were very disappointed when I left (Kansas). I knew that. I had some people at North Carolina who were very disappointed when I didn�t go back in 2000, and they let me know about that," Williams said Saturday. "But I do believe that time heals all wounds.
"The people (in Kansas City) have been really nice. There have been people driving by on the streets when we�re out walking in the morning and they�ve been yelling nice things. I had only one yell something that wasn�t quite as nice."
That will likely change this afternoon when Williams� eighth-seeded Tar Heels take the court against the top-seeded Jayhawks.
With Kansas State having already lost here on Friday, most if not all of the 18,972 tickets will have been gobbled up by rabid Kansas fans. That will make for an atmosphere just as hostile toward UNC as the one it faced in St. Louis for last year�s region final.
The Jayhawks won that game 80-67 to earn a trip to the Final Four. But if there�s anything the Tar Heels should be used to now, it�s disapproving crowds.
"We�ve played in some hostile environments this year," freshman point guard Marcus Paige said. "We had to go to Indiana. At N.C. State was crazy this year, too, even Cameron, like it always is. Hopefully it won�t have much effect on the game. We just have to worry about what�s happening on the court."
If last year is any indication, UNC has plenty to worry about, especially now that it has gone small with a four-guard lineup.
Thanks in no small measure to 7-foot stopper Jeff Withey swatting shots away under the basket, Kansas leads the nation in field goal percentage defense � limiting its opponents to just 35.9 percent shooting.
That�s going to present a serious challenge to a Tar Heels team that relies heavily on its hot perimeter shooting to offset a decided disadvantage on the boards and inside. Even with a conventional lineup, UNC missed 15 of its 17 3-pointers and went the final 5:45 without making a field goal in last year�s loss.
"We have to go out and compete a lot different than we did last year," junior forward Reggie Bullock said. "Last year they fought hard on the defensive end and took us out of things we wanted to run. Hopefully this year will be a better outcome."
Either way, a Williams probably won�t enjoy the experience much.
Whether he�s received well by the Kansas crowd or not, the passionate coach will be as conflicted as a father forced to choose between his two children playing against one another on opposing teams.
That�s one reason he said he�ll never voluntarily schedule a home-and-home series with the Jayhawks. If the NCAA selection committee and its television partners want to continue seeing Williams� two loves go head to head, they�re going to have to keep arranging it themselves.

Media Journal: Verizon Proposes New Pay-Per-View Deal to Networks
Here's your morning roundup of the biggest media industry news and happenings. Send tips, suggestions and complaints to firstname.lastname@example.com
Verizon Communications has proposed that it tie the fees it pays to cable networks to how many viewers actually watch them, in a notable departure from how such deals are currently reached, WSJ reports. The company already has held conversations with several mid-sized cable networks to structure carriage fees based on actual audience size rather than on how many households a channel reaches, the story notes.
MEDIA REGULATIONS: British politicians Monday said they had reached a last-minute deal to regulate the country's press through an independent watchdog group.

Embroidered velvet army jacket: Zara || Printed shirt: Urban Outfitters || Round metal sunglasses: Rayban || Fringed shorts: H&M || Cactus Rose boots: Spell Designs
Some casual spring look, it's a comfortable and still edgy combination which fits to a night out or even an every day occasion. I got this cool 70s inspired military jacket a few months ago, it's such a nice piece. It looks like those jackets Jimi Hendrix or the Beatles wore back in the 60s. Really nice found.

Gunmen shot and killed two people returning from a funeral Monday for Shiite Muslim victims of a massive bombing in Karachi, highlighting escalating sectarian tensions in a city where 48 people were killed the day before.
The bomb exploded Sunday evening as people were leaving a mosque, and underlined the increasing threat Shiites face as Sunni militant groups target them in ever-bolder attacks. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Sunni militant groups who do not consider Shiites to be true Muslims have carried out such attacks in the past.
Thousands of Shiite Muslims turned out Monday to bury their dead and demanded government protection from militant groups.
Some of those attending the funeral set fire to buses in one Karachi neighborhood as they went to the cemetery, said police official Qamar Ahmad.
When they moved through the same area after the funeral, gunmen opened fire on the group and wounded several protesters, he said. Two of the men died and 13 were wounded, said Dr. Saleem Memon, who works at the hospital where the wounded were taken.
The Sohrab Goth neighborhood where the shooting occurred is home to many ethnic Pashtuns who traditionally live in northwestern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan.
Over the years, many have migrated to the port city of Karachi. Security officials in Karachi have raised concerns that members of the Taliban - also predominantly Pashtun - are taking advantage of the large Pashtun community to hide themselves in Karachi and establish a foothold there.
Dr. Jalil Qadir, a Pakistani surgeon, said 48 people were killed and at least 200 wounded in the Sunday attack.
Thousands of people thronged a main road in Karachi Monday for the funeral service. Many beat their chests and heads and chanted "Stop the brutal attacks!" They called on the government to take action against militant groups responsible for the attacks.
"Terrorists are killing us everywhere, but the state is nowhere to be seen," said Intizar Hussain, whose father died in the bombing.
It was the third mass casualty attack since the beginning of the year against Shiites. The first two killed nearly 200 people in the southwestern city of Quetta. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Sunni militant group known for its virulent hatred of Shiite Muslims, claimed responsibility for the two attacks.
Last year was one of the most deadly for Shiites in the country's history. According to Human Rights Watch, more than 400 Shiite Muslims were killed across Pakistan in 2012. This year could be even more dangerous with nearly 250 Shiites already killed in the three attacks.
Pakistan's intelligence agencies helped nurture Sunni militant groups like Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in the 1980s and 1990s to counter a perceived threat from neighboring Iran, which is mostly Shiite. Pakistan banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in 2001, but the group continues to attack Shiites.
After the most recent attack in Quetta, the government launched a number of operations against the militant group and detained the founder of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Malik Ishaq.
In an apparent attempt to deflect criticism, Interior Minister Rehman Malik has repeatedly lashed out at government officials in Punjab province where the group is based and said they have failed to crack down on militant groups.
Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf condemned the bombing late Sunday and ordered an inquiry into how the bombing was carried out. But many Pakistanis want more from the government.
"Go ask the sleeping government to wake up. Our brothers and sisters are dying every day. But the government is doing nothing," said Shagufta Rasheed, a Karachi resident.
The city shut down on Monday for a day of mourning to honor the dead. Markets, gas stations and transportation were closed as security officials patrolled the streets. At the site of the blast, family and friends looked through the rubble for missing family members.
"I am here to look for my relative," said Farzana Azfar. "People say he was here. But people say they have no idea about him."
Associated Press writer Muhammed Farooq in Karachi contributed to this report.

Mopars Drag Race - Four To The Floor At Rockingham
We Pit Stock And Modified Big-Blocks And Small Blocks In A One-Shot Showdown At The Rock
Comparing elapsed time slips between dissimilar vehicles takes the whole apples-and-oranges thing to new heights. After all, driving skills and response times being equal, theory tells us that a big-block car will most likely have a quicker quarter-mile time than a small-block; that a performance modified car will blast through the traps sooner than a stock car. Then there's the matter of car weight, aerodynamic profile, tires, suspension setup, and on and on. As a result, true scientific evaluations between vehicles are nearly impossible due to the infinite variables that can positively or negatively influence straightline performance.
That's why bracket racing was invented.Nevertheless, the "what's fastest" question has been with us since the turn of the century-culminating in the '60s, when performance vehicles became a turnkey buying option and go-fast buffs flocked to their area drag strips. The debates have not yet faded into history, and they likely never will.
Still, it is always interesting to pit car against car no matter what the make, engine or performance upgrades. The multitude of variables almost always leaves competitors a theoretical out-a way to explain a car's good performance or lack thereof.
That said, we thought it would be interesting to pair up a set of stock and modified small-block and big-block Mopars for a couple of old-fashioned, unscientific, Saturday-night-style grudge runs. We wanted, however, to do this a bit differently than normal. The typical deal would be to throw the big-blocks together and pair up the small-blocks. Our nontraditional approach was to see how a "typical" modified small-block would stack up against a modified big-block, and how a stock-restored small-block and big-block would fare in a heads-up run. Again, it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but it's still an interesting notion.
To set this up, we contacted the Port City Mopars club in Wilmington, North Carolina. PCM runs the show portion of the annual Mopars At The Rock event at the Rockingham Dragway, across from the Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina. The Mopars At The Rock event is a combination show, drag race, and swap meet hosted by Steve Earwood and the good folks at Rockingham Dragway.
Our contenders were selected by random chance from a pool of willing Port City Mopars club members, with member Tom Leasure rounding up the grinning group. Once we had our game plan established, track owner Steve Earwood let us squeeze our runs in between the ongoing race events.
Maintaining as close to a stoplight showdown as possible, each contestant was given a trial run just to loosen things up and get a feel for the track and the light. Then it was off to the final showdown, with the modifieds and the stockers battling each other for an all-or-nothing run down the straights.
Competitors in our unconventional matchup included Les Wyatt in his modified '65 440 Plymouth Belvedere II, Pat Moore in a warmed-up '68 340 Dodge Dart, Dave Blankenship and his stock '70 Plymouth 'Cuda 426 Hemi, and Ed "The Breadman" Bjorkland in a stock '73 360 'Cuda.

Red Carpet Chatter: Mike Nichols Gets His AFI Lifetime Achievement Award
Born in 1931 in what was very soon to become Hitler's Germany, young Michael Peschkowsky was living in Manhattan by 1939. It was great luck both for the future Mike Nichols and for the country that accepted him.
Nichols is, of course, one of the most respected directors in Hollywood, and for good reason. He's the original, craftsmanlike, and emotionally astute directorial voice responsible for such sixties and seventies classics as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," "Carnal Knowledge" and, of course, "The Graduate" (the source of his only directorial Oscar so far) as well as such eighties, nineties, and oughts successes as "Silkwood," "Working Girl," "The Birdcage," and "Closer." Even if some of the later films are not on the same level of quality as his earlier films — and several, especially his 1988 box office hit, "Working Girl," stray into mediocrity — it's still one of the most impressive and diverse careers of any living director in Hollywood.
That's just on the big screen. On television, Nichols has rebounded in the eyes of many critics, directing two of the most acclaimed television productions of the last decade, 2001's "Wit" with Emma Thompson, and the outstanding 2005 miniseries adaptation of Tony Kushner's brilliant and mammoth epic play, "Angels in America." With his 80th birthday just a year and a half away, he's still working hard with two thrillers movies planned, including an I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it remake of Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low" currently being rewritten by the decidedly counter-intuitive choice of Chris Rock.
Before he directed his first foot of film, Mike Nichols was a noted theater director. That in itself is not so unusual a root for directors to travel. What is different is that, before he was a noted theater director, he was half of one of the most influential comedy teams in show business history, Nichols and May. (His comedy partner, Elaine May, went on to become an important, if less commercially successful, writer and director in her own right.)
Still, from the moment he directed his first major play, Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park," Nichols mostly abandoned performing. Today, his highly regarded early work is mostly known only to fairly hardcore comedy aficionados.

In the show Freaks and Geeks, it's never clearly explained why the main character, Lindsay Weir, my personal hero, traded in her cardigan for an army jacket and started ditching class to hang out with stoners. At one point, her little brother Sam comes into her room and asks, abruptly but not out of nowhere, "Why are you throwing your life away?" Lindsay pauses before telling Sam that she was alone with their grandma when she died and had asked her if she saw anything right before it happened, "a light or anything," and her grandma, someone who'd been "a good person all her life," said no.
Maybe Lindsay, a star student and lifelong rule-abider, figured then that all of her efforts to do right by her family and her teachers had been for nothing, that if there was no reward at the end like she'd thought, she might as well try to have fun. Or maybe she was just exploring.
These here precious (groan) teenage years are meant for change and for testing out being a human in the microcosm that is school and your friends and your house before you have to go be a human in the world outside. It's natural and healthy to try out different identities and go through phases. What worries me is the resentment with which I look back on the person I used to be. These multiple versions of myself, they're everywhere. They're at family gatherings and the houses of old friends, in photos on our fridge and online, in my closet and in my now-embarrassing collections of books and movies and music.
And at school. Oh, god, school. As you navigate the halls during those first days of a new school year, eager to adopt a new identity, you're instead met with sad, bitter reminders of your old one, and as you recognize people who knew you at a time when you were less nice/cool/interesting/smart/attractive, you panic a little bit. They do the same, and so an unspoken pact is made through uncomfortable glances and half-smiling nods. It is understood by the time October rolls around: we will never talk about who we used to be.
Which is kind of sad, and scary. None of those versions of myself, when I really think about it, were nearly as mortifying as I make them out to be, and I'm sure my classmates' weren't, either. But it terrifies me to think that if I felt as sure in who I was a year ago as I do about who I am now, it means that, in another year, I'll be sure about some new version of myself, and everything I'm currently latching on to—all of the songs that I think I could listen to forever and all of the friends whom I deeply trust—could mean nothing.
"It all comes back. Perhaps it is difficult to see the value in having one's self back in that kind of mood, but I do see it; I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 AM of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were."
—Joan Didion, "On Keeping a Notebook"
Lindsay Weir's geek hammers on her mind's door multiple times throughout the rest of the series, but the finale (SPOILER ALERT!) is so good because Lindsay doesn't end up fully falling into the freak role or going back to the geek role, but instead gets into a painted van to follow the Grateful Dead with a group of friends, most of whom she's just met for the first time. And for a moment you're like, "DID THE PAST 18 EPISODES NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?!" And then you recognize the maturity with which she says goodbye to her family and Sam's friends, and you realize that she's shaken hands with her former geek self. And you see her approach the van with the same uncertainty that she had when she started hanging out with troublemakers Kim Kelly and Daniel Desario, but also with a confidence that took her the whole series to find. And you realize that this show wasn't about a good-girl-gone-bad either losing or finding her true identity. It was about a girl realizing that she could give herself permission to explore and change, and as the van drives away and the show's credits start to roll for the very last time (tear), you know that this was only the beginning.
"You know, Lindsay, when you started hanging out with them, I felt kinda bad for you, because I thought you were gonna turn into a dirtbag. But then I realized that you were just exploring, and now I guess I'm kind of exploring, too."
—Millie Kentner, Freaks and Geeks
That's what it is. It's just exploring. Hanging out with different friends, taking different classes, joining different clubs, getting into different music or wearing different clothes: the important thing isn't figuring out who exactly you are and your sole purpose in life THIS VERY INSTANT. It's just knowing that it's up to you the same way it was up to Lindsay Weir. In the meantime, all you can really do is find the things and people you relate to at the moment and hold them close. Somewhere, among the hair dye bottles and sleepover souvenirs and doodled-on paperbacks, you'll find parts of yourself that you know will be sticking around. ♦

Real aircraft have painted-on stencils. Waterslide decals are printed on a clear carrier film which is usually visible after application and does not convey the "painted-on" look that dry transfers will. While more care is required during application, the result is such a marked improvement over waterslide decals that you will probably want to use dry transfers on all your models!
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DRY TRANSFERS: Unlike regular decals where the lettering is attached to a clear carrier film that will "silver" if not applied to a glossy surface, with dry transfers the individual lettering is printed directly on the backing sheet, and is applied to the model directly through light rubbing. As a result, dry transfers do not require a glossy surface, and in fact will not stick well to one. For ease of application, it is recommended that the dry transfers be applied to a matte surface, as that will provide the "tooth" needed for the transfer to properly grip the surface and come free of the backing sheet. If a glossy finish is desired, a gloss topcoat can be applied after the transfers have been placed on the model.

| 19.5°C Dublin
ARSENE WENGER says Theo Walcott must soon make a "concrete" commitment to Arsenal if he wants to stay at the club.
The England forward, currently sidelined by a shoulder problem, is out of contract at the end of the season, and so could open talks with foreign clubs in January.
Negotiations are continuing, with both sides aiming to reach an amicable compromise over terms.
Walcott, 23, used an article in last night's programme notes for the Champions League game against Montpellier to stress he wanted to get "something sorted out", while adding "I don't think you can put a timeframe on when it will be resolved".
Wenger, however, today maintained if the player's heart was set on staying, he should sign on the dotted line.
"Ideally he has to commit. It is difficult. I believe you have to commit at some stage," said the Arsenal manager, whose side head to Aston Villa on Saturday.
"It is very important in our sport to be very committed to where you are, and as long as you do not do that, you are not completely at ease.
"It is important for our squad as well that he is completely committed.
"I do not doubt it, but as well at some stage it has to be concrete."

This country has real issues to worry about. In the last year alone, we have been presented with documented evidence of large-scale electoral fraud, our environmental protection and climate change regimes have been ripped to shreds, and the federal government has laid aside the Canada Health Act and thus ended, at least in principle, universal healthcare. More evidence continues to emerge that it plotted a systematic course of deception with regard to the cost of a multi-billion dollar military procurement project. And our media is so breathtakingly incompetent that they can't even agree on whether someone in their ranks was copying and pasting without attribution and, if so, whether it was very wrong of them to do so.
