Character, Media, and the NFL Draft: A Sour Cocktail

Outside of well-documented problems involving drugs, alcohol, and violent crime, any members of media passing significant judgment on an NFL prospect’s character that changes the outcome of his evaluation - even if they are eventually proven correct – are making a foolish decision on principle.

"Physically, Hearst could have made this run early in his career but I believe the adversity he overcame made him mentally prepared to finish a 96-yard run in overtime."

For a scout it seems odd to make this statement without any evidence. If you're pronouncing that adversity increases your ability to stiff arm or break tackles then you're in sub-ESPN territory.

Hire Plaxico Burress, he might be old and slow but he's been through adversity. Doesn't make sense does it?

And I really don't remember Kirby being regarded as the starter and I've been rather tragically obsessed with the niners for too long. It was in the air but most reasonable observers had seen how good Hearst had been with the Bengals.

What bizarre nonsense. So it's fine to draw conclusions that random aspects of a person's personal background inspire them to play well, but not to draw negative judgments on the same basis?

The limitation to "documented problems" such as drugs is also bizarre. There are plenty of high-achieving hard-working NFL players who smoked the odd joint in their time in college. Equally there are plenty with toxic and lazy personalities who never had those problems.

by jackiel :: Tue, 04/09/2013 - 2:25pm

Regarding recreational drug usage, using and, more importantly, getting caught shows poor judgment given the stakes.

Unlike the rest of us, top prospects actually have real, quantifiable costs associated with illegal drug usage via draft position. A prospect who can legitimately make the claim that a 7 figure job is waiting for him upon leaving school has way too much to lose to be careless with drugs.

IMO, using is a mistake for these guys. And getting caught is plain idiocy.

by AB (not verified) :: Tue, 04/09/2013 - 3:07pm

Agreed, it's a mistake. But I'd rather take a guy who had a "documented" legal issue like that than a guy who was lazy and had no interest in playing football.

by Dan L (not verified) :: Wed, 04/10/2013 - 5:05pm

I think the issue is that the documented legal trouble is based on objective events, while the determinations of laziness and bad body language and attitude are very subjective.

This is in line with a theory that scouts are effective, but only in their areas of expertise. If they have seen thousands of quarterbacks throw a ball, then a snap judgement that "his motion doesn't look right" may be reflecting some of their expert knowledge, whereas their knowledge of psychology is not as great as they think it is. As a result, thinking someone acts lazy is not an expert opinion, yet someone who failed a drug test has objectively made a careless mistake.

by MehlLageman56 (not verified) :: Tue, 04/09/2013 - 11:17am

Cam Newton still went first in the draft, even though some wag described his smile as fake. The issues that will cause players to fall in the draft are either not getting along with coaches, or actual off field issues, like the pending legal cases Dennard (Patriots) and Kenrick Ellis (Jets) went through. If NFL GMs choose to pass on Geno Smith because some fool who didn't like RGIII last year decided to insult him, then they will be fired sooner rather than later. Not that aren't legitimate reasons to pass on Geno in the first round, but that scouting report written for publicity sure isn't one of them.

by Borkowskowitz (not verified) :: Tue, 04/09/2013 - 2:32pm

I seriously doubt that the scouting negative report on Geno is taken seriously by team scouts. It seems like a lot of draft material is disseminated for the fans to latch on to. It is interesting, with all of the promotion that the NFL does, I think its greatest asset right now is the thousands of bloggers and sites that are making everyone feel more a part of the game.

by sundown (not verified) :: Mon, 04/15/2013 - 4:38pm

I would agree with that, particularly given the nature of the negatives in the report. I did a good job debunking it, as they found plenty of insiders who were scratching their heads. It very much sounds like it was some combination of amateur psychoanalysis combined with either poor sources or flat-out making stuff up.

by Mike O (not verified) :: Wed, 04/10/2013 - 9:02pm

Isn't the point of football outsiders to show that quantifiable measures have a correlation with football performance? A scout would report sleeping through class as a potential predictive variable if it has been found to gain competive advantage in scouting. Maybe no college player whom had a GPA below 2.0 has been an all-pro; hiding or ignoring any data that could have predictive value is irresponsable. If you worked for an investment bank and decided to ignore little known information that a ceo for a company does hard drugs when investing the banks money because 'people can change', then you should get fired. The NFL is a corporation with players being a form of investment; it is highly unlikely that past behavior has minimal pedictive value towards future success.

by Independent George :: Thu, 04/11/2013 - 2:10pm

The paranoid part of my brain wonders if a clever organization might plant false information in order to increase the odds a pick will fall to them (as Shula was rumored to have done with Marino's alleged cocaine habit).

by LionInAZ :: Mon, 04/15/2013 - 7:20pm

Sure, it can happen, but that kind of psy-op campaign is probably too expensive for an NFL team operatimg umdet league constraints. Too many people would have to be paid off for it to work.

by Jerry :: Tue, 04/16/2013 - 1:58am

FWIW, Shula wouldn't have had anything to do with the rumors I heard around then. And whatever Dan did or didn't do while he was in college, his pro career worked out.

Posted by on Sep 23, 2014 in Lessons, Sewing, Theory | Comments Off on Sewing Machine Basics

Today, we’re going to discuss sewing machines – their parts and how they work.

This is a sewing machine:

Retrieved from

It isn’t your machine or my machine, but it’s a very basic concept of a sewing machine. The fact is that all sewing machines have the same basic parts, even if they don’t look the same. It’s your job to take a look at your machine, after you buy one, and figure out where each of these parts are.

First off, you want to plug your machine in and find the power button for your machine. It should turn a light on somewhere to show that it’s on. This might seem simplistic, but I assure you that, at least once, you’ll be getting more and more frustrated, trying to make the needle move until you discover you forgot to turn the machine on. Seriously, it happens to the best of us. If the needle moves, but the light doesn’t turn on, you might need to take the bulb into the hardware section of a store to replace it. You’d be surprised how much the little light between the top and bottom of your machine helps. If the light turns on, but the needle doesn’t move, wait a bit and see if any of the rest of these parts helps.

I’ll admit that writing this section flummoxed me a bit, so I’d like to give credit where credit is due. Sew Delicious and Things My Mother Taught Me were both extraordinary resources for my resources. They also both have different sewing machines displayed, so they might be a useful resource if these pictures don’t help you on your machine.

Second, I’m going to explain that the pictures in this section are not my sewing machine. To explain why, I’ll start with a picture of my sewing machine.

2014-09-18 14.40.05

I own a Bernina that is fairly computerized and it just doesn’t jive with the “beginner” concept of the lessons I’m writing. If I’m being honest, my Bernina has about 20 functions I’ve never used, but I love it. It’s much more reliable than my first machine, and I got it for a real deal.

Instead, I’m going to be using (mostly) pictures of my Mother-in-Law’s sewing machine.

2014-09-18 14.40.50

Her Brother is the most basic of machines and will help me show what I really want without having to photograph the computerized screen of my Bernina. In short, the Brother is easier to understand.

The first thing I always have students who are learning to machine sew do is thread their machine. I teach them how to thread the machine, watch them do it correctly, then have them thread and rethread it at least 10 times. If you thread your machine incorrectly, it will not sew correctly. In fact, 9 times out of 10, if your machine isn’t working the way you want it to, you should completely rethread it from beginning to end. If the problem persists, there are a few more tricks in this entry that might help.

You will always start threading at the spool pins.

2014-09-18 14.40.54

The spool pins are where your spool of thread goes. The pin goes through the hole at the centre of your spool of thread and allows it to rotate freely as the machine feeds thread into your fabric. Some spool pins lay down while others stand up. Spool pins that lay down often have a cap that goes on top of your thread so it doesn’t spin off.

The shorter pin in this region is your bobbin winder. This is where your bobbin sits while you spin thread on it. For what a bobbin is, keep reading. You might notice that the pin sits in a little hole that it will click back and forth in. That’s because virtually every sewing machine has a mechanism that locks your sewing needle into place while you wind your bobbin. If your needle is locked in place, try moving your bobbin winder to its other position and see if that helps. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been angry because my machine wouldn’t sew and it was that simple fix!

The last point of interest here is the bobbin stopper. This makes sure you don’t put too much thread on your bobbin.

2014-09-18 14.41.12

The next step to threading your machine are the thread guides. These are different on most models of machines, so if yours doesn’t have an instruction manual or directions printed on the plastic (my Bernina does), you’ll need to do a Google search for “How to thread [machine model]”. Invariably, some helpful soul out there has made you a guide.

2014-09-18 14.41.15

This is the tension for your thread. It’s hard to know how to set it right. I’ll be honest and tell you that I have never, ever adjusted my thread tension. I know that that’s the #1 way to screw up how my machine is sewing, so I don’t bother. Almost every machine comes with the “correct” thread tension dialed in, so don’t mess with it if you don’t have to. Also, when you get your machine cleaned and serviced (tomorrow’s topic), a good sewing machine repairman will leave the tension in the best spot for most cloth.

Seriously, don’t adjust the tension, if your machine is sewing correctly.

2014-09-18 14.41.26

Here’s where all the action takes place! The needle is, obviously, what sews your fabric together. I don’t know if you can see in this picture, but a sewing machine needle has its eye near the tip rather than on the opposite end. Getting the thread through the eye of the sewing needle can be tricky, but it’s completely possible.

The majority of machine needles look like this:

machine needle

Their shank is a half-cylinder – round on the front and flat on the back. However, there are a couple of brands of sewing machine out there (Husquvarna-Viking springs to mind) that use a fully round needle shank. Make sure you write down your brand of machine before you go out buying needles. If it comes with a needle in it, take that with you too.

If you’re lucky enough to get a flat backed needle, you’ll be able to buy your sewing machine needles anywhere. I tend to buy the pack that looks like this:

needle pack

I buy them because there are 10 in the package and I always end upbreaking a couple.

Enough about needles, let’s go back to this part of the machine:

2014-09-18 14.41.26

The strike plate is where your fabric lays as you sew. You’ll notice that this strike plate has measurements engraved on it. This is the distance from your needle in its centred position to the line. This helps you determine your seam allowance. The average presser foot is 1/2-inch wide which means each side is 1/4 of an inch from the needle. That’s why I always draw my seam allowance as 1/4 of an inch. Commercial patterns often list their seam allowance as 5/8”, but we’ll talk about that later.

The presser foot holds your fabric to the strike plate. It holds it firmly enough to not move by accident, but gently enough to let the fabric pass through. The presser foot can also be taken off and replaced with other types of feet. As I mentioned before, the zipper foot is the second most commonly used presser foot. If you got others with your machine, you should look up what they do before trying to use them. Some machines have a presser foot pressure adjustment, but I’ve never had one of those.

2014-09-18 14.41.34 2014-09-18 14.41.50
From these view points, you can see the feed dogs. The feed dogs are toothed pieces of metal that move back and forth to move the fabric. If you are sewing and let go of the fabric, it will continue to move, though erratically, under the presser foot. In fact, during the next few lessons where I show you how to actually sew, I’d actually recommend doing that with a piece of paper so you know what it looks like.

On some machines (like my Bernina), the feed dogs can be disengaged for more free-form sewing. If your needle moves correctly, but you can’t get your fabric to move, look to make sure that the feed dogs are up like in these pictures. If they aren’t look for the lever.

2014-09-23 13.14.472014-09-23 13.15.012014-09-23 13.15.30

Now we’re down to the mysterious bobbin. The bobbin holds thread, like a tiny spool, but it sits inside the metal bobbin case. I cannot 100% explain how the bobbin works, but here’s a cool animation that even the person I retrieved it from didn’t make.

From what I can tell, the bobbin thread, case, and hook race work together to create kind of a thread braid that holds your fabric together. (I did not know any of that, nor had I ever heard the term hook race before I wrote this). I have kind of always assumed that the sewing machine was created by a wizard and I don’t try to understand it. If you would like to, knock yourself out. I’d love to find out what you learn.

The bobbin sits in the bobbin case like so:

2014-09-23 13.15.07

With a little thread sticking out. The final step to threading your machine is always picking up the bobbin thread by bringing your needle down and using the top thread to catch the bottom thread. You know what? Here’s a video.

On to the parts that don’t move without your permission.

2014-09-18 14.42.12

On my Mother-in-law’s machine, this determines the stitch width for her zigzags. As you can see, the 0 setting is a straight stitch. The needle goes wider as the number goes higher. As a rule, your zigzag stitch will never be wider than the hole in your presser foot.

2014-09-18 14.42.09

This knob shows the selection for stitch length. As a rule, I want my machine stitches to be pretty long. In my opinion, they’re more attractive that way. I always have my machine set on the longest stitch available. That’s usually about 1/4 of an inch.

2014-09-18 14.42.18

The last, but certainly not least, of the selection knobs is the stitch selector. This allows you to decide what kind of stitch you’d like your machine to perform. As this machine is pretty basic, you can see that it really only has 3 stitch selections and a buttonhole. On this dial, 1 is both a straight and zigzag stitch. The way you determine which is which is by the stitch width dial.

Next to the stitch selection, you’ll see a lever. This lever is in a different place on every single machine. Seriously, I think the manufacturers have little cameras where they can see us look for it. Why? Because this is the reverse lever. As you’ll see later on, stitching in reverse is the way we “tie a knot” on a sewing machine. Realistically, you can sew without one, but it is very difficult to do without your stitches falling out.

2014-09-18 14.42.25

On the very end of the machine, you’ll find the hand wheel. This wheel spins automatically as the machine runs, but you can also use it to move your needle slowly. This is very useful when it comes to turning corners or bringing your bobbin thread up.

2014-09-18 14.42.40

And finally, the foot pedal. The foot pedal is where you control the speed of your machine. The harder you step on it, the faster, and less precise, your machine becomes. I’ve got a couple of tricks up my sleeves to help you out with that over the next few days.

So, these are the parts of your machine. Take a half hour and learn to thread your machine. Then rethread it until you can do it correctly every time. Like I said, 10 times correctly should do it.

Tomorrow, I’ll talk about getting your machine cleaned so it’s ready to use.

The Robot's Guide to Freedom

This is the second release by the Los Angeles-based Ten East. Ten East started up in the mid-'00s as a semi-improvised outfit. They caught the ears of Alone Records out of Spain, who released their debut Extraterrestrial Highway (now re-released by Lexicon Devil). The line-up here is a veritable stoner-punk supergroup: Gary Arce (Yawning Man, Sort Of Quartet), Mario Lalli (Across The River, Fatso Jetson) and Bill Stinson, and joining them are Scott Reeder (Kyuss, Obsessed) on bass; Bryan Giles on guitar (Red Fang) and Greg Ginn (Black Flag, Gone) on guitar and organ on almost half the tracks. Recorded at Ginn's SST studio over several months, The Robot's Guide To Freedom sees Ten East branching out in heavier, more aggressive territory than their first release, as well as tempering the brute attack with forays into more ethereal space-rock and '60s/'70s-style psych jams. The music is a perfect encapsulation of the scenes these individual members helped create: the ferocious punk squawl of Ginn's frenetic, free-jazz-inspired riffs which set California ablaze some 25 years ago, combined with the scorched desert-rock of stoner pioneers Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson and Kyuss. The music of Ten East is dense, multi-layered and worthy of many repeated listens. Lead songwriter Gary Arce has the knack for penning a totally non-generic riff -- such riffs born from his love of the guitar work of Ginn, Eno, Steve Fisk, surf music and Tom Verlaine -- and creating a truly lyrical piece of music, one which makes one forget that Ten East don't and likely never will require a vocalist. Anyone into the sounds of the manic prog freakouts of early '70s King Crimson, the surf twang of the Ventures, the spaced grooves of Guru Guru and Amon Düül, or the peyote-fried guitar work of primo Meat Puppets will find something in this music.

everyone who hasn't checked a game out should! I've had season tickets since the team got here along with five other people. Its a great time and doesn't cost a fortune either. I'd love to drive the beast down to the game...but alas it doesn't start and refuses to move. Oh least the Mammoth sticker is still on the truck! Thanks.

XP door springs and XP brake pedal

Hi people, how is everyone?
2 quick questions on the body of an XP falcon:

1) Does anyone know the specifications on the springs that go in the door hinges for an XP? I have just realised the reason my doors wont stay open is that the springs have snapped. Any fixes/work arounds on repairing this would be great.

2) This is a really painfull question, but Im new to old fords..
Do XP falcons have different brake pedals for the manual and the automatic? Is it a simple swap over to swap a manual pedal assembly to an Auto? on my HQ kingswood all I had to do was take out 1 bolt and the brakes and clutch came out, then I just bolted in the auto pedal. Is it like this for an XP too?
Anyone got an XP auto brake pedal assemly lying around they dont want? (Im converting my manual to an auto as I like autos more)

Wanted: 9in diff to suit my XP utility

Re: XP door springs and XP brake pedal

door springs. I have an XL. They should be the same. AM also heavily into mustang work, and mustang hinges have a kit available..about $25 per door. If i remember i will do a comparison for you...i may even tear one of my XL hinges down for rebuild (working on my OWN car...now that would be new)..that way i would know

Stangs and those early falcons share many obscure parts.

Brake pedal. They are the same as any car... narrow= manual wide= auto. haven't looked at mine, but earliest i have done is XB, the was simply a coil clip with the pedals sharing the same shaft....will take look and get back to you.

A-F preliminary grades released...

A message from Kristin K. Tassin, Parent, Attorney and Fort Bend ISD Board President (1/6/2017)

Today, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) released preliminary letter grades based on the 2015-16 school year performance – The A-F Work-in-Progress Report. I want to share an article in today’s Dallas Morning News that gives some examples of the flawed A-F system. As you may know, the majority (55%) of the A through F grades are based on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR), a high-stakes, standardized test that does not accurately measure student learning.

How can the State of Texas assign a single letter grade to the schools when they require our schools to teach students of all different backgrounds, abilities, ethnicities and who speak different languages, with no consideration for these differences? We do not even do that in classrooms where our teachers work to meet the needs of each student every day.

  • Some students have been in pre-school and have been learning to read almost since birth;
  • Some have never stepped foot in a school and have hardly ever even seen a book;
  • Some have just arrived in this country and not only don't speak English, but have not been provided an appropriate education;
  • Some come from affluent families with supportive parents; and
  • Some have no electricity at home, no food to eat, no parents at home or no home at all.

But public schools must teach them all, and the state requires they all perform at the SAME EXACT level. Our legislature over regulates and underfunds public schools, and does not provide Texas schools with the adequate funding or resources to meet the challenges for the growing number of diverse students who all have unique needs.

Students are human beings, not robots, and the complexities of teaching individuals cannot be summed up in a single letter grade. Even colleges look at the whole student and all that they are and have done when considering achievement. I am disappointed in Texas.

Look up your school's grades and please speak out.

On a personal note, I want to share that according to the State of Texas, my kids' elementary school is a "D" school in student progress and a "C" school in student achievement. But my girls certainly don't feel that way, nor do we as parents. Our school has excellent teachers, excellent administrators, and offers lots of learning opportunities. But, it also has a high population of "economically disadvantaged" students and English language learners. The A-F rating system is punishing my school that has a high population of struggling students, without those who created the system ever stepping foot in the classrooms to see what's really happening. I am not the only person who feels their school is more than just a letter grade, read another parent’s blog post.

BALTIMORE — The circles under the eyes, the halting speech, there was no escaping how taxing Sunday was for Jhoulys Chacin. He long ago earned his teammates' respect for the way he competes, but he had never been through anything like this.

Late Saturday night, just hours before his start in the Rockies' 7-2 loss to the Orioles, the 25-year-old learned of his grandmother's passing.

"They asked me, and I told them I really wanted to pitch. I wanted to do my best for the team, but it was tough," said Chacin, who looked like he hadn't slept much. "I was close to her."

Maria Alvarez loved baseball. With both of Chacin's parents working, she took Jhoulys to tournaments throughout Venezuela and Latin America as a boy. She was thrilled to see him pitch in winterball again last November. In her 70s, Alvarez had a stroke in May, and never fully recovered. Chacin spent the all-star break with her, knowing that their time together was short.

He will travel to Maracaibo, Venezuela on Monday to be with his family, and insisted he will make his next start Friday in Miami.

"I need to go and support my mom," Chacin said. "She's the one who is really affected."

Under the circumstances, Chacin's outing was admirable. He allowed more than two runs for the first time in a road start this season. Yet, he gave the Rockies a chance, his outing spoiled by a sweeping slider that Adam Jones deposited for his 25th home run.

"I don't know if I would have been out there. His grandma was like a second mom to him," catcher Yorvit Torrealba said. "I went through something similar in (2005), and it's not easy to focus because it's always on your mind."

A potential rally to secure the Rockies' first road series win since July 10 was undermined by the bullpen and the lineup's inability to adjust to Scott Feldman's curveball. The Rockies' relievers had posted a 1.26 ERA over the previous 10 days. But Brian Roberts delivered a two-run single off left-hander Josh Outman in the seventh inning.

Roberts ran the count full as Jones stole second base, leaving runners at second and third. Manager Walt Weiss considered walking Roberts, but decided against it given the count. Chris Davis put the game out of reach with his 45th home run.

"I was aggressive in the zone today," Davis said.

The Rockies pulled to within a run in the seventh. Todd Helton hit his 582nd double, one shy of Hall of Famer Robin Yount for 17th on the all-time list. He scored on Charlie Blackmon's liner to right field, but reliever Tommy Hunter doused the rally.

For Chacin, it was a difficult ending to a challenging day.

"I was close to my grandma," Chacin said. "She was always there for me."

Troy E. Renck: 303-954-1294, trenck@ or

Rockies' Jeff Manship (0-2, 7.20 ERA) at Phillies' Ethan Martin (1-2, 6.28), 5:05 p.m. Monday, ROOT; 850 AM

Jeff Manship was disgusted by his last outing. He was drummed by the Padres, and worse, he said, he failed to make in-game adjustments. Manship gets another opportunity, but the leash is shrinking. In his lone road outing, the right-hander gave the Rockies an opportunity to win against the Mets. Manship, a former Notre Dame star, could be auditioning for a long relief role in spring training next season. Ethan Martin has been crushed this month, allowing four home runs in 14-plus innings. Opponents are hitting .295 against him.

Tuesday: Rockies' Jorge De La Rosa (12-6, 3.22 ERA) at Phillies' TBA, 5:05 p.m., ROOT

Wednesday: Rockies' Juan Nicasio (7-6, 4.94) at Phillies' Cliff Lee (10-6, 3.19), 5:05 p.m., ROOT

Thursday: Rockies' Chad Bettis (0-2, 5.30) at Phillies' Kyle Kendrick (10-10, 4.36), 5:05 p.m., ROOT

A Tribute Not To Be Forgotten

A Tribute Not To Be Forgotten
Yesterday I attended a funeral that was the most remarkable, moving, emotional tribute to a most remarkable man.

Police Officer, Mike McLaughlin was a member of the Foster City Police Department for 21 years. He made an impact on many lives, human and canine. Mike was our K-9 officer and his partner was Franz, a beautiful black German Shepherd.

With my fellow councilmember, Linda Koelling, we drove to Fremont to show our support but were not prepared for what we saw when we drove up to the church……..lined up around the church were 84 German Shepherds and their handlers……it was an amazing sight. Even more amazing was that each came into the church by twos with their handlers past the pews to the coffin, paused and went to stand in the aisles. As the officers passed I tried to see their arm patches……in part represented were Emeryville, Palo Alto, Capitola, San Mateo, State Parks, Fremont, many from Southern California (probably 60 cities represented)…..it was hard to read them through my tears. Mike trained dogs, traveled to Germany to buy the dogs and competed all over the state and nation and even internationally with his dogs, winning countless awards.

As any animal lover will attest, the bond between animal and owner is intense but can you imagine the trust between Mike and Franz…..both of their lives were entrusted to each other. When Franz approached the open casket he jumped up so his paws were carefully on the edge and his wet kisses bid his partner goodbye.

This was Mike’s fifth canine partner and from all the remembrances spoken at Mike’s funeral, Franz and Mike kept the legends alive. Mike’s co-worker, gave an emotional account of the nine years they spent as fellow officers and the commitment they made to each other on those long twelve hour night shifts to “be there” for each other’s families if something happened to them. That commitment is solid to Mike’s wife and three children.

Another beautiful memory for me was watching our police officers come down the aisle to their seats, so proud but in mourning for one of their brothers….one of their own. Our police chief, Craig Courtin, gave a snapshot and his memories of the 21 years of life’s experiences shared with his fellow police officer with eloquence and grace. Craig told many stories about the bravery and lives saved by Mike……one in particular was when he arrested three youths at 4 a.m. a few years ago driving a car stolen in Salt Lake City. The comment from the driver was……”we drove 1,000 miles in this car and we were in Foster City for only 4 minutes and got picked up”. Mike’s unexpected death does remind us that even in a relatively short 48 years you can make a difference in this world and he was able to leave a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Of course the coordination of a service like this one took incredible dedication and tireless work by captains Jon Froomin and Matt Martell to honor their friend. Valuable assistance from Officer Dave Orlando and Corporal Noel MacDougall plus Mike’s fellow officers volunteered in a variety of ways. The City of Fremont was represented by not only their police department but their fire department had 8 rigs out to make sure the motorcade moved smoothly through their city and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department added their unlimited support as well. Each dog rode in their own police car so the motorcade had over 100 cars with lights flashing for the duration of the drive to the cemetery.

Upon returning to Foster City I saw a San Mateo Police car…..found out later they generously sent us five officers. It is protocol for other jurisdictions to cover for each other in these instances but they went above and beyond. Thank you to Susan Manheimer and San Mateo for protecting us well.

I am so proud to be associated in any way with the City of Foster City.

There is more information and a picture of Mike and Franz on our City website under our police department.

Teams that correctly spell the word continue on to the championship round.

Each team is made up of four members, and 5 teams compete in a round. The winner of each round then competes in the championship round. The champions take home the Ranger Bee trophy to keep for their reigning year.

If you prefer not to spell but would like to participate, you may sponsor a team of students.

To participate in the Bee, please complete the form (Spelling Bee Registration Form) and do one of the following.

All are welcome to attend or participate in the event.

What does it mean to “sponsor” a team? If you prefer not to spell but would like to participate, any and all donations are welcome.

Foreign Office advice for fans heading to Rome

Up to 10,000 Manchester United fans are expected to travel to Rome without tickets for next week's Champions League final against Barcelona, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said on Tuesday.

In a statement, the Foreign Office warned fans which metro stops and other areas of the city to avoid because of the fears of widespread trouble surrounding the match in the Italian capital.

There have been many stabbings, fights, muggings and thefts involving overseas fans in Rome for a number of years and the Foreign Office has warned United fans to take every precaution.

Typical of the advice handed out is: "Do not take the metro to the Piazzale Flaminio or use the Ponte Duca D'Aosta bridge as there has been trouble along this route to the stadium on many occasions."

UEFA threatened to take the final off Rome if AS Roma's Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United last season was marred by a repeat of the violence that hit United's previous two visits.

That did not happen but Arsenal fans were attacked before their team knocked out Roma in a last-16 second leg in March.

In a statement, the FCO says it worried about the number of fans making the trip which is estimates will be 30,000. Twenty thousand fans are expected to travel with tickets.

"Whilst last year's Champions League Final in Moscow saw exemplary behaviour from British fans, the Foreign Office is concerned that the sheer amount of fans travelling to Rome could lead to safety issues in the Italian capital," the FCO said in the statement. "It has therefore worked in close collaboration with the Italian authorities to put in place stringent safety plans, as well as offering crucial tips and advice to fans before they travel. These can be seen in full on a dedicated webpage on the FCO website."

The Foreign Office also says that the excitement generated by "the dream final" between two of Europe's most glamorous and successful clubs, will lead to more last-minute decisions to travel to Rome next week, thus increasing the likelihood that British fans will experience difficulties.

"One in five Brits neglect to take out any form of travel insurance and this number dramatically increases with last-minute planning and short stays.

"The FCO is particularly worried that the current economic climate means that more fans will be cutting corners and will decide against taking out travel insurance. This could have potentially disastrous consequences for football travellers, as a fall in Rome resulting in a broken leg could cost up to 2,500 pounds without insurance."

Gianni Alemanno, the mayor of Rome, added: "We are delighted to be hosting such a fantastic event and we have worked hard to ensure that all visitors have an enjoyable and trouble-free stay in our city. Rome welcomes the British fans with open arms, and we look forward to celebrating this great sporting festival together."

The FCO has also released safety tips - available at - which have been created in cooperation with the Italian authorities to help fans prepare for their trip to Rome:

You must carry original photo ID with you to enter the Stadio Olimpico. This can be a UK passport or a UK driving license. Take a photocopy of your passport and keep it separate to the original. Take out travel insurance. Without travel insurance you could be liable to pay thousands of pounds should you have an accident that involves hospital treatment or repatriation. Get a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC - formely known as E111). The EHIC entitles you to low cost or free healthcare in most European countries in an emergency, but you will still need travel insurance cover. Make-up containers and coins will not be allowed into the Stadio Olimpico so be sure to empty your pockets before heading to the match. Do not take the metro to the Piazzale Flaminio or use the Ponte Duca D'Aosta bridge as there has been trouble along this route to the stadium on many occasions. Use the free public transport provided by the authorities at Villa Borghese (entrance to V. Borghese is at the top of the famous Via Veneto) to get to the stadium and don't travel to the stadium on foot or by other means including taxis or other public transport. There will be no public screens in Rome so it is important to plan where you will watch the match if you are travelling without a ticket. Stay as far away as possible from Campo De Fiori - there has been trouble in this square in the past amongst football fans. Take care of your valuables in busy areas and on public transport - pick-pockets may be operating. Be especially wary around the main railway station, Termini, on the number 64 bus, and when unloading baggage from airport/city coaches. Be wary of groups of children who may try to distract your attention whilst trying to steal from you. Don't carry all your valuables - passports, credit cards and money - in the same bag or pocket. Don't carry valuables around with you unless you need to - consider putting them in a safety deposit box in your hotel. Cars at rest stops and service stations can be targets for robbers - if you find yourself with a flat tyre, especially on the Naples to Salerno motorway, treat any offers of help with caution. Store your valuables securely on sleeper trains - thieves have been known to operate on them.

Detainee Family Sues Government - Cincinnati News, FOX19-WXIX TV

Detainee Family Sues Government

Family sues government on behalf of son held in Saudi Arabia.

The parents of an American detained without charges in Saudi Arabia are suing the US government. Lawyers say it's the first lawsuit filed on behalf of an American citizen detained in a third country at the request of the US government. The family is citing recent Supreme Court rulings outlining legal rights of citizens and non-citizens held in the war on terrorism. Ahmed Abu Ali was arrested more than a year ago as part of an anti-terrorism investigation. The family says the US government has refused to say when or if he'll be charged or released. Family lawyers are attempting to get an American judge to order Abu Ali returned to the United States where he could face charges as part of an alleged terrorism training ring in Virginia

Super Bowl Spending To Reach Record High This Year, Says NRF

The National Retail Federation is expecting the average spend for viewers and partygoers enjoying Super Bowl 50 will be $82.19, up from $77.88 last year and the highest amount in survey history. That includes food, decor, team paraphernalia, and more. The NRF forecasts total spending to reach $15.5 billion. An estimated 188.9 million people are expected to tune in, up from 183.7 million. More than 43 million people are planning to throw a Super Bowl party. About the same number of people say the commercials are the most important part of the day, with 78.6% of Americans saying the commercials are entertainment versus 17.5% who say it makes them aware of the advertising brands. More than a third (34.7%) say the actual game is the most important part. The NRF polled 7,293 consumers for its Super Bowl Spending Survey. Super Bowl 50 will be broadcast on Feb. 7.

John Lennon's First Wife Endorses Mistress' Book

Lennon's First Wife Endorses Mistress' Book | Elton Will Entertain Oscar Guests | Roy Scheider; How Blu-Ray Beat HD DVD

Lennon's First Wife Endorses Mistress' Book

Last week I told you that Julian Lennon, John Lennon’s eldest son, had posted the news on his Web site that Yoko Ono was suing a 25-year-old singer over her name.

This week comes news that Cynthia Lennon, Julian’s mom and John Lennon’s first wife, is endorsing a new book by May Pang.

Pang was Lennon’s mistress/girlfriend during 18 months in 1973 and 1974 routinely described in Beatle mythology as the Lost Weekend. In an episode that widely has been reported over the years, Pang was sent by Ono — her employer — to take care of Lennon when Ono sent him packing.

The result was an affair in which Lennon worked hard and partied hard. Several classic records also were produced, including Lennon’s "Rock and Roll" album and his hit singles "Whatever Gets You Through the Night," "Mind Games" and "#9 Dream."

Now Pang, whom Ono has systematically tried to erase from Lennon’s history in her Broadway musical, tributes and films, is publishing a collection of photographs she took during her time with Lennon.

"Instamatic Karma," published by St. Martin's Press, hits stores next month. It’s Pang’s second book about Lennon, but the first with these unpublished pictures.

More importantly, the book’s jacket carries an endorsement from Cynthia Lennon sure to rile Ono.

Cynthia writes: "My first meeting with May, in the early seventies, was fraught with tension and uncertainty. My efforts to reunite Julian with his father after four years could [have] gone one way or another. May was wonderful, even though she was young and inexperienced in having to deal with such sensitive and emotional issues.

"Before long we became close friends. May was open, caring and compassionate to me and my son, Julian.

"For all that May has done in the past and hopes to achieve in the future, Julian and I will be her greatest champions. She is a lovely, vibrant lady. She was a good friend when my son and I needed one, and a dear close friend now.

"This book of photographic memories is very special and evocative of times remembered. May, We wish you all the success in the world."

Cynthia is such a fan of "Instamatic Karma" that there’s a rumor she’ll turn up in New York for Pang’s book party in the early part of March.

Meanwhile, I’ve had a quick look at some of the pictures, and all I can tell you is they are phenomenal. There’s one picture, in particular, from that '73-'74 period, that Beatle fans are going to cherish as if it were the Holy Grail.

You can read all about May, by the way, at her Web site. She’s also an accomplished jewelry designer.

Elton Will Entertain Oscar Guests

Well, Elton John’s Oscar party is getting hotter and hotter. The big news is that Elton himself with his band will play at the event on Sunday night with special guest star Mary J. Blige chiming in.

The RSVPs already are pouring in, with all the Oscar-winners and many nominees expected to make the trek from the Governor’s Ball to the Pacific Design Center.

Also on the guest list are Amber Valletta; Chris O'Donnell; Christina Applegate; Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi; Eric McCormack; Eva Longoria; Julia Ormond; Kevin Zegers; Larry King and Shawn Southwick; Patricia Clarkson; Petra Nemcova; Rebecca Gayheart; Sean Penn; Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne; Sharon Stone; Randy Jackson; Simon Cowell; Tim Allen; and John Waters.

David Furnish co-hosts the event with Elton, with all proceeds going to the Elton John Aids Foundation.

Again, Elton, all we ask is that you play "Harmony." And maybe "Country Comfort" and "Levon." I’d better stop there!

Roy Scheider; How Blu-Ray Beat HD DVD

Roy Scheider was an actor’s actor, with two Oscar nominations and a long list of impressive and memorable credits. When he died on Feb. 10, I was traveling and, frankly, too depressed about his passing to chime in.

Scheider also was a regular at Hamptons gatherings and premieres, just one of those great guys who was terrific to talk to, polite, articulate and straightforward. I loved him in "Blue Thunder," not to mention "Jaws" and all his other hits. His passing is extremely sad. Scheider was 75, but you’d never know it. He really will be missed. ...

Blu-Ray discs have beaten HD DVD, which means Sony and Panasonic have triumphed over Toshiba. I guess Sony wasn’t going to allow Blu-Ray to go the way of Betamax and DAT players.

When Toshiba conceded the war this week, it noted that Warner Bros. films going with Blu-Ray exclusively was the last straw.

Coincidentally, right before Warner made its announcement, Chief Technology Officer Chris Cookson, who’d been at the job since 1999, bolted for Sony as head of Sony Pictures Technologies. That was on Jan. 3. The very next day, Warner announced it was moving to Sony’s Blu-Ray exclusively.

This did not all happen overnight. Business Week reported a rumor in October 2005 that Warner was thinking of making the commitment. Just a lot of coincidences, I’m sure. ...

Shootings at American Indian center prompted by eviction, relative says

Though police said they are still working on a motive, the nephew of a Northern California woman accused of killing four people, including three of her own relatives, says that she snapped when members of an Indian tribe threatened to evict her and her son from tribal land.

Authorities have accused 44-year-old Cherie Lash Rhoades with shooting the four people to death at the Cedarville Rancheria headquarters building and wounding two others in a gun and knife attack.

On Thursday afternoon, her brother, Rurik Davis, and other tribal members were attending a meeting involving Rhoades's potential eviction at the site in the rural northeastern California community of Alturas. It's unclear precisely when the shooting began, but in quick succession Davis, 50; Rhoades' niece, Angel Penn, 19; her nephew, Glenn Calonicco, 30; and Shelia Lynn Russo, 47, were killed.

One of Rhoades' nephews, Jason Penn, said Rhoades' brother was behind the eviction effort. Rhoades recently was ousted as chairwoman of the 35-member tribe that includes many of her relatives. Eviction from tribal housing is among the most serious punishments for American Indians.

"Her brother drove her too far," Penn said as he stood in the front yard of Rhoades' home on the tribe's property in Cedarville, about 15 miles from Alturas.

Penn said he drove into Alturas on Thursday with Rhoades, and she dropped him off at a cousin's home before going to tribal headquarters. He later heard about the shooting.

"All I heard was there was some shooting, and my sister and brother were dead," he said with a shrug. His sister was Penn, and his brother Calonicco. "I've gotten over worse."

Investigators have been looking into whether Rhoades took at least $50,000 in missing federal grant money meant for the tribe she once led, a person familiar with the tribe's situation told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke only on condition of anonymity. Rhoades recently was ousted as the tribe's chairwoman.

Alturas Police Chief Ken Barnes said Friday that authorities have been checking whether the embezzlement allegations spurred the tribe's efforts to evict Rhoades, but had not established any definitive motive,

"If we could confirm or deny that, it would help me toward a motive," Barnes said.

Police armed with rifles and pistols served a search warrant on Rhoades' home Friday but would not say what they had seized.

Barnes said that as the shooting erupted, young children were inside the building and on the property, and a judge from another tribe was listening to the eviction proceedings over the phone.

After running out of bullets, Rhoades grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed a woman, police said. She chased one of Davis' daughters out of the building and into the parking lot while brandishing the knife.

Both of Davis' daughters were wounded. Officials said that one was alert and talking, while the other remained in critical condition Friday.

Authorities were alerted to the attack when a woman covered in blood ran to nearby City Hall and rang a bell to get into a side door, City Clerk Cary Baker said.

"She was saying, 'Help me, help me, people have been shot,"' Baker said. The woman was not injured, Baker said.

Rhoades was booked on suspicion of homicide, attempted murder, child endangerment and brandishing a weapon. Russo's husband works at the jail, so Rhoades was transferred to an undisclosed location, authorities said.

The tribe's headquarters -- a ranch-style building with a pitched brown metal roof -- is in a residential area about a block from the police station. The area was cordoned off with yellow police tape Friday.

In addition to a kitchen knife, investigators found two semi-automatic pistols at the scene.

Alturas, the seat of Modoc County, is about 55 miles south of the Oregon border and 35 miles west of the Nevada line. The motto of the community of 2,800 people -- "Where the West Still Lives" -- reflects the area's wilderness and natural beauty.

The Cedarville Rancheria is a federally recognized tribe. The Rancheria owns 26 acres in Cedarville, where most members reside in nine small, one-story houses on lots on the outskirts of town. The tribal houses are clustered around a small playground.

An audit of the tribe's books by a private firm showed the tribe received $1.1 million in federal money in 2012. About half went toward tribal roads, with the balance directed to governmental and general assistance, and housing.

The audit, which was filed with the federal government in late November, raised questions about how the government and roads funds were spent. It found that both the bookkeeping and management of tribal programs had "material weakness" that created an opportunity for abuses.

A summary of the audit, posted on a federal website, did not detail specifics about the weaknesses nor the exact costs that the auditor questioned.

The decision to evict a tribal member is a "very big statement," particularly in a rural area where other housing might be hard to find, said Dennis Chappabitty, a California attorney with extensive experience working with tribal governments.

While Chappabitty has visited the Cedarville Rancheria, he said he did not know tribe's eviction rules. Generally, a tribe has wide latitude to evict a member, whether for failure to pay rent or "just bad behavior."

Problems can arise in small tribes, he said, because a member up for eviction might feel targeted for personal reasons.

The fourth victim, Russo, 47, was a tribal administrator who managed evictions and had two teenagers, said her mother, Linda Stubblefield of Taft.

Stubblefield said Russo had mentioned several times that she was worried about violence associated with evictions.

"Anytime you evict someone from their home, you're going to worry about this," Stubblefield said. "And you're taking their Indian rights from them."

Struggling to find words, Stubblefield said her son-in-law had called her to break the news about the attack.

"This is not supposed to happen," Stubblefield said.

India begins billion-plus head count for census

Millions of census workers fanned out across India on Wednesday as they began a mammoth effort to document every person in the world's second most populous country over the next three weeks.

President Pratibha Devisingh Patil was the first of the estimated 1.17 billion Indians to be counted at her pink sandstone presidential palace. Next, Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi sat with the census-takers under a banyan tree in her yard while inspecting and signing off on a 29-point questionnaire listing income, religion, education and access to basic utilities among other topics.

The details may help authorities identify areas where neglect is high, where poverty is particularly rife and where high numbers of people are unable to read or to work.

"It is the second-largest census in the world" after China, Vice President Hamid Ansari told Press Trust of India news agency after being counted.

India could soon rival China as the world's most populous country, however, with a yearly growth rate of about 1.4 percent, while China — with about 1.3 billion people — is growing at a much lower 0.49 percent, according to 2010 estimates listed by the CIA World Fact Book.

Indian officials say the national count, taken every 10 years, is crucial for both the government and private sector to set relevant policies, programs and budgets. This is the second phase of the census, with the first last year listing some 300 million Indian households and estimating the population to be around 1.17 billion.

For the first time, the census is noting whether people live in mud huts or concrete structures, have electricity or access to toilets, and if they have ever been to school even if they don't go anymore.

Almost all residents, regardless of nationality, are included in the count, even those imprisoned like Pakistani Ajmal Kasab who is sentenced to death for his role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

The millions of homeless sleeping on railway platforms, under bridges and in parks will be last counted on the evening of Feb. 28, with revisions conducted until March 5 and the final census reports published over the next two years.

India has appointed some 2.7 million census-takers, many of them school teachers, who are also collecting name and address details to be used later in issuing identity cards as part of a National Population Register, for which citizens will also have to provide fingerprints and be photographed at some later date.

Officials warn that people trying to hide facts or give false answers may be fined up to 1,000 rupees (about $22).

India will conduct a separate caste census later this year, after officials decided the caste question was too controversial in the secular and multicultural democracy and could upset the results of the population count.

Psycho.unit rocks with ‘Rockaboy’

April 16, 2012

Their video'Rockaboy' came in second for the Best Music Video category at the Bite My Music Global Awards.

Psycho.unit, a collective of some of the most inventive, outrageous and talented musicians, have pulled off the unimaginable when their video”Rockaboy” came in second for the Best Music Video category at the Bite My Music Global Awards.

Bite My Music Global Awards is considered the world cup of independent music and had the participation of more than 1000 acts from over 50 countries.

Formed in 2007 by islanders Daddy Shaq, Rabbit.Mac and Cub’ally, what began as a modest music production company of three eventually evolved into an 10-piece, multi-talented troop which led to the expansion of the company.

Now, in addition to the music works, Psycho.unit also does design, photography and runs a highly successful clothing line Psychologikal Apparels.

‘Rockaboy’, rendered by Sheezay and features cameos by two other award winning hip-hop acts, Altimet and K-Town Clan, won over the global judges and online fans with their sleek and saccharine video visuals.

The video can be viewed here.

The Avatars from Psycho.unit had this to share:

Who directed and produced the music video for Rockaboy?

The music video was directed by Candyman of Psycho.unit and assisted by Rabbit.Mac. The typography effects done by December.

Its such a visually pleasing music video? Who came up with the concept?

Yes it is, since the song is some sort of hype music, we decided to make it as fun as possible. The concept is by the director and developed by our team members. The whole Psycho.unit crew’s input are there, we did all together.

Did you have any challenges creating the music video? How long was the duration from start till it was a wrap?

It was really challenging for us since this was our first music video for Sheezay and also for Candyman as the director. It took us three solid days on pre-production and took a month on the post.

How did you manage to the cameos from other indie acts on the music video? It was fantastic to see Altimet in the music video

We wanted to make our video fun and different, so we thought it would be interesting to feature few of our artist friends. We approached them and without hesitation they agreed to do the cameo. Altimet and K-Town Clan as our very good industry buddies, and we been working together for quite some time, it was our pleasure to have them in our video.

Will Psycho.unit follow up on this video and go on to produce more visually driven music videos?

Definitely we are going to come up with more music videos in future and already few in rows. We went through many challenges while creating the video and it was a good experimental video as well

Is it very expensive to produce music videos? Is it worth it to even come up with one?

It is expensive to produce a music video, but it solely depends on the concept. You get what you paid for and it is worth to come up with a music video that has good budget and good technicians. It’s not easy to put up quality video, if you want a quality product, you got to spend, and as for Psycho.unit, we truly believe in music video, it actually has helped us to boom our CD sales, and helped us in branding.
