Blaze a few trails, kick up some dirt, and leave a set of footprints behind you. Find a nice outdoor path to run, and have a good little stretch afterwards. Complete this quest in one day's workout.
Breathe in some fresh air and stretch for at least 10 minutes after your run.
If you want to join me sign up here! That way I get credit for you joining and if 10 people join I get a free month of "Hero" which... uh.. Well I have no idea what that actually does, but it normally costs like 5 bucks a month. Upgraded membership basically. I'm already level 10! Go me!
So Sunday I did a bunch of pullups to complete the Monkeying Around Quest (worth 300 pts; Perform a set of the following: 10 Pull Ups, 10 Chin Ups, 10 Parallel Grip Pull Ups, 5 Wide Grip Pull Ups) by doing 10 of each instead of the 5 Wide grip. Normally I don't work out on Sundays, but I wanted to complete that Quest!!
Today I had a decent yoga class at work. I'm looking forward to the new Intern's classes she is starting up in a few weeks. I'm also strangely looking forward to working in the Stretching Area at our International Convention. I'll be helping people stretch and do some easy workouts to help them get through the craziness of sitting and listening to long convention speeches and walking around getting to all the different presentations. Conventions cause all sorts of tightness.
This evening was running night. Had a great 5 mile run along the Bonneville Shoreline trail. At the last half mile I saw we would be able to stay under 50 minutes total (and that included a five minute break halfway where we stood around before turning back) so I started booking it, causing my brother (who usually sets our pace) and brother in law to speed up as well. We got as low as 5:32 min/mile for a bit, and averaged well below 7 per mile for that last half mile! And we made it. Definitely felt good to pull that speed off at the end even though I started off feeling quite tired.
Tomorrow is my anniversary! 11 years married to the most beautiful woman. Amazing how this past year especially has really been a FIT one... although I've gotta say I always feel like I fit with her, it's just that this fitness fits even better!

March Madness 2016 Free Pick - Villanova vs. UNC Ashville
Line: Wildcats -18
Representing the # 2 and # 13 seeds of the East bracket, the 29-5 Villanova Wildcats and the 22-11 UNC Ashville Bulldogs will meet in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday afternoon in Brooklyn. Villanova had won 5 games in a row before losing to Seton Hall in the championship game of the Big East tournament. UNC Ashville beat Winthrop 77-68 in the Championship game of the Big South Conference to earn a berth in the NCAA tournament. While Villanova has been to the Big Dance the last 3 years, the Bulldogs are making their third appearance in the school's history.
UNC Ashville is a young team with 6 of their top 9 players being either freshmen or sophomores but they do play excellent defense. They are ranked 9th in the nation in defensive turnover percentage and 3rd in steal percentage. They are a small team with only 1 player on the roster taller than 6 foot 5 inches and they turn the ball over a lot as they are ranked 208th in turnover percentage. Offensively, they are led by freshman guard Dylan Smith who averages 13.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. Dwayne Sutton is another freshman guard who averages double digits with 12 points per game but he is capable of much more as he showed in the championship game against Winthrop when he scored 25 points and grabbed 18 rebounds.
Despite 5 trips to the tournament since 2010, Villanova has failed to make it out of the second round each time and are hoping this year is different as they were ranked # 1 in the country as recently as January. They are led by Josh Hart who was a first team All-Big East selection. The junior guard averaged 15.5 points and 7 rebounds per game. Kris Jenkins and Ryan Arcidiacono also average double digits in scoring. On the year the Wildcats went 13-5 against teams in the top 100 RPI. Jalen Brunson is a freshman guard who has stepped up this year averaging 10 points and 2.6 assists per game. Daniel Ochefu is a 6 foot 11 inch center who averaged 10 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. With UNC Ashville's lack of size, Ochefu could have a big impact on both ends of the floor. The Wildcats rank in the top 20 in points allowed per game with 63.7.
UNC Ashville has gone 22-10 against the spread this season including 15-3 as the underdog. The Villanova Wildcats have gone 16-17-1 against the spread this year including 16-15-1 when they were the favorite. Villanova is an 18 point favorite in this game and the Bulldogs best chance at the upset is to try and force Villanova into a lot of outside shots as they only shoot 34.3 from three-point range. This game will be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn where Villanova is 4-0 the last 2 seasons.
Pick: Bulldogs + 18

UC ANR joins new artificial intelligence institute
I am very pleased to announce that with a $20 million award from the National Science Foundation and several federal agencies, UC ANR is collaborating with UC Davis and other institutions to create a new artificial intelligence institute for next-generation food systems.
The farming/food industry is experiencing a technology revolution. Digital, biological and mechanical innovations are being applied to solve long-standing challenges such as the impacts of climate change, ensuring food and nutrition security, and sustainable and profitable crop production. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied to most of these innovations, as they all have one common attribute: they produce and consume large amounts of data. AI is a way to put the large amount of data we have to work for us, making computers and machines smarter and more effective.
The USDA-NSF AI for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS) puts UC ANR in a leading role with UC Davis, UC Berkeley, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Cornell in developing AI-based technology for the food system, but,perhaps more importantly, in applying them in real-world situations, training a next-generation workforce, and engaging the public in their value.
UC ANR staff and academics will have the opportunity to engage with AIFS through virtual and live events, research, extension and commercialization projects, workforce development activities and more. In many ways, AIFS will be a new support center for UC ANR staff and academics, helping to provide the latest training and tools for UC ANR's Cooperative Extension and outreach activities in California and beyond.
Gabe Youtsey, UC ANR chief innovation officer and Maggi Kelly, director of UC ANR's Informatics and GIS program, will be the primary UC ANR contacts for AIFS. In the coming weeks, AIFS will provide further information about events and ways to engage. Please reach out to gdyoutsey@ucanr.edu to express your interest in getting more information as AIFS is launched.

Standiford retires from 37-year UC ANR career
From left, Vice Provost Chris Greer, Rick Standiford and Peggy Mauk at Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center. Greer presented Standiford with a certificate of appreciation for his 37 years of service to UC ANR.
Wrapping up a remarkable 37-year career with UC ANR, Richard B. Standiford IV, UC Cooperative Extension forest management specialist at UC Berkeley, will retire June 30.
In addition to being a highly regarded forestry expert, Standiford served as UC ANR's associate vice president from 2005 to 2009, and provided stability for the division as acting vice president during the 11-month transition from Reg Gomes stepping down to retire until Daniel Dooley succeeded him as vice president in 2008.
"There are a select few individuals who both excel at research, teaching, service and outreach and can lead and motivate others to try to do the same. Rick belongs to this rarest subspecies of academic," said Keith Gilless, dean of the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley, who has worked with Standiford for 35 years.
In 1980, after working two years as a research and extension forester at Purdue University, Standiford joined UC Cooperative Extension at UC Berkeley. The New Jersey native developed a research and extension program focused on sound management of California's forests, rangelands and other natural resources.
Standiford "personifies all that is best about Cooperative Extension," said Maggi Kelly, director of the UC ANR Statewide Informatics and Geographic Information Systems Program, professor and Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Environmental Sciences, Policy & Management at UC Berkeley.
"There are a select few individuals who both excel at research, teaching, service and outreach and can lead and motivate others to try to do the same," said Keith Gilless, shown on right with Standiford.
"Part of his legacy has been the ways in which he navigates the Cooperative Extension mission - intuiting and understanding natural resource and environmental problems, reaching stakeholders, liaising with state officials, finding funding, conducting quality applied research, and leading practical, impactful extension activities," Kelly said.
His legacy in Cooperative Extension continued to grow as associate vice president of ANR, says Peggy Mauk, former director for Central Coast and South Region.
"Rick empowered people, empowered regional directors and county directors to implement programs for the betterment of California," Mauk said. "Rick had the ability to bridge the gap between administrative concepts and regional (county) implementation. He wanted to know how higher level decisions would impact ANR's county-based personnel and programs and then adjust for those impacts. Above all, Rick valued people and positions, and supported the ANR mission."
He also has provided leadership for county Cooperative Extension advisors developing programs in forestry and conservation of oak woodlands.
"Rick has a tremendous ability to pull people together," said Yana Valachovic, UCCE director and forest advisor for Humboldt and Del Norte counties, noting his leadership in getting people to work together to contain sudden oak death disease. "It takes passion, vision and an ability to communicate effectively."
While tackling the emerging forest disease, Standiford also devoted time to mentoring young scientists.
"Early in 2000, Rick bounced into my office with the news that he had found emergency funds to study the disease, and had assembled a team of pathologists, ecologists, arborists, homeowners and forest managers to attack the problem," said Kelly, a remote-sensing expert. "Rick asked if I would be able to use the money to fly to Marin County and develop critical baseline maps of the nascent disease. I was, and I did, and that generosity and foresight launched my applied research and extension program at Berkeley."
"The disease was subsequently named Sudden Oak Death, and in 2015 ANR was been given a nationwide award in extension for its timely, quality, impactful multidisciplinary approach to the disease," Kelly said, "and it all started with Rick."
Standiford, shown doing research in the forest in the early 1980s, may be best known for his work in oak woodlands and forest stewardship.
In addition to academics, he has worked with professional foresters and natural resource managers, forest and rangeland owners and managers, timber operators, government agencies, forestry organizations, policymakers and others interested in natural resource management.
Standiford said working with people was the part of his career he enjoyed most. He recalled driving with UCCE colleagues to Mariposa County to deliver a workshop on managing oaks.
"The sun was setting, it's pretty dark, pretty desolate and we're wondering, 'Is anybody going to be at the workshop?'" Standiford said. "At the grange hall in Catheys Valley, there's a ton of pickup trucks and cars. Inside, everybody is excited that the university has shown up to help figure out how to manage their trees. That's what my job has been about. It was always a lot of fun."
An early adopter of technology, Standiford has used webinars to teach oak woodland management from a distance. While acknowledging the convenience of virtual meetings, he said, "I hope we don't lose sight of the value of personal contact."
From 1985 to 1987, Standiford served as ANR program director for natural resources, leading efforts in forestry, wood products, wildlife and range management.
From 1988 to 1999, Standiford led collaboration among UC, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and the California Department of Fish and Game for the ANR statewide Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program, which was established in 1986 by the California Legislature to address poor oak regeneration and ongoing woodland losses. The program continued for 23 years until its budget was cut in 2009.
At UC Berkeley, he coordinated all Cooperative Extension activities in the Department of Forestry and Resource Management from 1989 to 1993, served as associate dean for forestry and director of the Center for Forestry from 1998 to 2002 in the College of Natural Resources, and oversaw the College's capital projects program, space planning and research infrastructure as associate dean for forestry and capital projects from 2002 to 2004.
The four Managing Oak Woodlands webinars are archived at http://ucanr.edu/sites/oak_range/Oak_Webinars.
Standiford earned a bachelor's degree in forestry from North Carolina State University, where he ranked second in his graduating class. He earned his master's degree in wildland resource science, with an emphasis on silviculture, from UC Berkeley and his doctoral degree in agricultural economics from UC Davis. The American Association of Agricultural Economists honored his "A Bioeconomic Model of California's Hardwood Rangelands" as Dissertation of the Year in 1989. Over his career, he has published hundreds of articles and publications on the sound management of forest and rangelands.
In retirement, Standiford plans to teach at the UC forestry camp and remain active with the Society of American Foresters. He also plans to travel with his wife, Judy, and spend time coaching and camping with his five grandchildren
"I have been blessed with the most wonderful job in the world," Standiford said. "The best part was the honor of working with such wonderful people on campus, in the counties, and the wide group of landowners and managers who taught me so much."

ANR participates in World Ag Expo
The 50th World Agricultural Expo was held Feb. 14-16, 2017, in Tulare. The three-day show was attended by 105,780 people representing 43 states and 71 countries, according to its website. UC ANR participated by hosting a newsmakers event for journalists and sponsoring four booths displaying information about the division's array of research and programs.
At the booths, 4-H members and UC ANR scientists greeted visitors and answered questions. Visitors were invited to take a picture with a UC ANR frame and post it to social media with the hashtag #UCWorldAg to be entered in a contest to win a FitBit.

On the first day of the show, reporters were invited to meet UC ANR scientists, who gave 3-minute descriptions of their research. Rose Hayden-Smith, editor of the UC Food Observer blog, was the emcee. The speakers were as follows:
Mary Lu Arpaia, UC Cooperative Extension horticulturist, UC Riverside, based at the Kearney REC in Parlier,avocadoes
Khaled Bali, UCCE irrigation water management specialist, based at KREC, automated irrigation systems
Peggy Lemaux, UCCE plant genetics specialist, UC Berkeley, and Jeff Dahlberg, KREC director and UCCE specialist, plant breeding and genetics, $12.3 million study on sorghum
Lupita Fábregas, UCCE 4-H Youth Development advisor and assistant director for diversity and expansion, outreach to Latino communities
Maggi Kelly, UCCE specialist and director of the UC Statewide Informatics and Geographic Information Systems program, UC Berkeley, research using drones
Doug Parker, director, UC California Institute for Water Resources, drought
Alireza Pourreza, UCCE agricultural engineering advisor, based at KREC, early detection of huanglongbing disease in citrus
Leslie Roche, UCCE rangeland management specialist, UC Davis, drought management on rangeland
Samuel Sandoval Solis, UCCE specialist in water resources, UC Davis, groundwater management
UC ANR and UC Food Observer live-streamed the talks on Facebook Live and on Twitter via Periscope. UC Food Observer's Facebook video of the event has been viewed nearly 5,000 times.

On the second day of the expo, a seminar on the changing role of women in agriculture was presented by VP Glenda Humiston, CDFA secretary Karen Ross and president of American AgriWomen Doris Mold. The speakers noted that women have always been involved in agriculture, but cultural bias often left them feeling that their role was inferior to the roles of male family members. The USDA's next census of agriculture will have questions designed to count women as industry workers even if they might consider their husbands or fathers to be the primary operators of the farm.
From left, Doris Mold, Glenda Humiston and Karen Ross. The women leaders encourage girls to seek careers in agriculture-related industries.
Humiston told the audience there are many career opportunities for women in agriculture, not just on the farm. She encouraged the young women and girls in the audience to look for opportunities in allied industries. For career advancement, women can join professional organizations and serve on committees, take advantage of training programs and run for leadership positions.
The panelists suggested that women also identify mentors — both men and women — who can help steer young professional women into successful agricultural careers.

2015 Golden Globes Fashion Review
by Mel - Monday, January 12, 2015
currently: listening to 'Got the Feelin' by 5ive. Because, why not.
Surprise! Normally I don't bother to comment on the red carpet events from film and television because... well the red carpet isn't as different. At music award shows, fashion is way more unpredictable and way more fun and extreme. Film and TV awards are a little more classy, well as classy as Tina Fey and Amy Poeheler joke about North Korea in this case. So saying that, I love the fashion and I love giving out fake meaningless awards too. Golden Globes, enjoy the milkyway red carpet treatment. It's about time you did.
First off, let's look at the best dressed New Zealander - to honour the Kiwis making it big at the Golden Globes.
Well of course it's Lorde. Because there's only two different people you can choose. Plus, Lorde didn't get to win her award, and it's not often she gets to win awards.
But honestly, she does look great - probably the best she's ever done - despite the expression. She is a teenager after all.
Most Likely to be a Mermaid Award
If she's trying to get away from all the Llama del Rey comparisons, well it's working. Pleats everywhere is just not a great look. In fact, if you turn her dress upside down, the cut of the dress actually looks like fins.
The 'A Touch Too Much Tan' Award
You know when female body builders cover themselves with that stuff that's almost the colour of mud, and then they pose with their contestant number taped to their hips? That's pretty much what Heidi Klum looks like. Except she's super scary skinny rather than super scary muscular.
The Biggest Waste of Fabric Award
No offence J.Lo but why did you bother carrying all that fabric behind you when you weren't even going to use it to cover up? I mean you can get another 2 1/2 dresses out of that cape behind you, or use the material to curtain a backyard gazebo. It even comes with it's own entrance slit.
Most Surprising Accessory on the Red Carpet
Gloves are the most cliche accessory when it comes to dressing 'fancy' and the fact that long elbow length gloves appeared on the red carpet in 2015 is astonishing. It's just a shame she looks like a kid dressed in her mother's clothing and it doesn't fit right.
Scariest Looking Outfit
I don't know why her outfit makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's cause the shape and the cut-outs remind me of something out of the movie Alien. That and her unsettling facials.
Highest Dress Split Award (a.k.a we get it, you have a leg but so do a lot of people)
Kate Cassidy
Half of the red carpet was trying to rock the high dress slit. Guys, it's not a competition on the red carpet to show off as much as you can without showing off your crotch, you know. Kate Cassidy takes it a further step too far by having side cut outs and a low neckline. Just pick one Kate. Just one.
Best Dressed Male
Because...Well... because I love him, he looks fantastic in a suit and I can cause this is my blog. Shut up.
[Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Moment]
Worst Dressed Male
Honestly - none of them. They were all pretty well dressed and it was hard to fault. You see, if this was a music awards show, the award would normally go to Chris Brown. Or Riff Raff.
Finally, here are the two big awards - let's start with Worst Dressed Female
The nominees are...
(from left to right)
Amanda Peet - for repurposing a Victorian century window hanging as a dress.
Lena Dunham - because a shiny ill-fitting and weirdly constructed red dress comes off looking cheap. rather than red carpet.
Maggie Gyllenhaal - because all I see at the top of her dress is a manatee's face. I don't know why but I can't unsee it.
But the Worst Dressed Female Award has to go to...
Keira Knightly
How one of the prettiest actresses (with flawless makeup here) end up dressing like a ruffled plastic bag holder that you buy from a Japanese dollar mart... well it's beyond me. And I know she's pregnant but pregnant does not mean 'dress ugly'. I'm not even going to go near the butterfly clutch.
Now time for the Best Dressed Female nominees...
Emma Stone - because she's a babe. And it's really nice to see someone wear something different like a pantsuit so tastefully. I don't even mind the giant shiny bow around her waist.
Julianne Moore - I don't know if it's by coincidence that she's also ginger but she knows how to pick a good dress that doesn't overwhelm her.
But if I had to pick only one to be Best Dressed Female:
Her dress literally looks like a flower waterfall. The purple is gorgeous and the way it flows is so beautiful. And she's stunning too.
I hope you enjoyed this Golden Globes edition of the red carpet fashion review. And by doing this, I probably just committed myself to writing about every other big awards ceremony in TV and film, darnit.
For that I deserve to post another Benedict Cumberbatch gif.
Yeah Benny, you're the one.

Artfully expressing the modern tastes of today's buyers, Denver's Alto at Midtown makes a dramatic impression from the street.
Inside is unexpectedly large square footage on the small lot, with three levels connected by a minimalist, yet elegant stair.
The three stories are further accentuated by windows that daylight the entry and main living spaces while providing stunning views.
The first two floors provide the main living area, the kitchen, great room, a study, the bedrooms and a loft space.
A penthouse with a roof terrace on the third floor, with views of the Denver skyline, expands the living upstairs and outside.

Some post-processed photos from Ange Lahoz (my wife's pamangkin) debut last April.
Last March, I covered Dustin's 4th birthday party. Dustin is the very charming kid of Litzie Bernardo-Anchinges, one of Team Diaz's photographers.
View more photos from this gallery.
Last year, I had a casual chat with my friend Sharon about our current professions. Out of this conversation, we made a pact to pursue what we really want in our own careers. For myself, I really wanted to seriously take photography but don't know where and how to start. That's when she asked me to take their family portrait, making her my first client, my very first advocate so to speak. The photos were used for her youngest daughter Abi on her first birthday party. I wasn't really expecting anything aside from having a portfolio, but was surprised to get paid, not to mention a very delicious suman from Bulacan to go with it.
I knew early on that I will cover Jeff and Trina's wedding simply because Trina is my friend since College and being her friend, I was way cheaper than the rest of the photographers out there. I was not insulted (ok maybe a bit) but kidding aside, I was actually honored that both of them believed in me and gave me full control on how I want the shoot would be. This was my first wedding gig and more than anything, I was excited. Until it hit me -- I need a team. I cannot cover the event all by myself.
So I formed a team of photographers (composed of friends) and acted as their team leader. Everyone's excited to be part of this event and the more the date gets nearer, the more "they" panic. Well it shouldn't give too much pressure on me, si Trins lang yun.
On the said event, everyone has their own assignments. Mine was mostly focused on the bride and groom of course (like I have a choice). Since this was my first wedding gig, I never thought it would be so challenging. Couple of lessons I learned was never ever be the driver if you are the official photographer and always bring a bottled water in your bag. It's just too exhausting. But despite all the vigorous 13-hour activity involved with covering a wedding, nothing can beat captured moments and seeing your friends getting hitched.
Congrats Jeff and Trina, may you have more happy years ahead!

In due si soffre meglio (Putty Tat Trouble) è un film del 1951 diretto da Friz Freleng. È un cortometraggio d'animazione della serie Looney Tunes, distribuito negli Stati Uniti il 24 febbraio 1951. È stato distribuito anche coi titoli Tra i due litiganti e, dal 1997, Un povero micio micio.

Trama
Titti sta spalando neve dal suo nido quando, dalle finestre di due appartamenti, Silvestro e un gatto rosso con un occhio verde lo notano. Entrambi corrono a catturarlo, rendendosi conto che dovranno combattere tra loro. Infatti, ogni volta che uno dei due riesce ad acchiappare l'uccellino, l'altro lo mette KO e Titti scappa via. Dopo essersi scontrati in uno scantinato, i gatti finiscono per inseguire Titti in uno stagno ghiacciato. Sembra che Titti sia caduto in acqua poiché il suo cappello è vicino a un buco; ma mentre il gatto rosso lo cerca, il canarino incide il ghiaccio con un punteruolo attorno ai gatti e li fa cadere nell'acqua gelida. In seguito, mentre Titti riprende a spalare la neve dal suo nido, Silvestro e il gatto rosso sono nelle loro rispettive case con un brutto raffreddore.

Distribuzione

Edizione italiana
Il corto fu distribuito nei cinema italiani il 16 dicembre 1958 nel programma Cacio... amore e fantasia, in inglese sottotitolato; fu doppiato nel 1971 dalla Sinc Cinematografica in occasione di una riedizione del programma (col titolo Sylvester's Story). In questo doppiaggio, usato per le prime edizioni in VHS, furono aggiunte delle battute di Silvestro e la sua padrona assenti nella versione originale. Il corto fu poi ridoppiato per la televisione negli anni ottanta dalla Effe Elle Due sotto la direzione di Franco Latini su dialoghi di Maria Pinto; questo doppiaggio fu realizzato senza utilizzare la colonna internazionale, rimuovendo la musica presente mentre i personaggi parlano. Nel 1997, per la VHS Silvestro e Titti della collana Le stelle di Space Jam, fu realizzato un terzo doppiaggio eseguito dalla Royfilm e diretto da Massimo Giuliani, in cui per la prima volta fu tradotta la canzone dei titoli di testa; in questa edizione è assente l'urlo della padrona di Silvestro, e Titti chiama con il proprio nome anche il drinking bird. L'unico DVD in cui viene utilizzato l'ultimo doppiaggio è però Tweety: Casa dolce casa, mentre negli altri è stato inserito il doppiaggio anni ottanta.

Learn what to say and what not to say and when vehicle searches are legal. Your battle to beat a ticket begins the instant you realize you're being stopped by a police officer. You will be in a much better position to challenge your ticket in court if you take a few simple steps when you are pulled over.
If a police car is following you with its siren blaring or emergency lights flashing, pull over to the right safely and quickly. Use your turn signal to indicate any lane changes from left to right, and slow down fairly quickly, but not so quickly that the officer will have to brake to avoid hitting you. Pull over as far to the right as possible so that, when the officer comes up to your window, he won't have to worry about being clipped by vehicles in the right lane. By stopping as soon as you can, you'll have a better chance of figuring out exactly where the officer says you committed a violation. You may want to return to that area later to make sure the officer was telling the truth about how he judged your speed, saw your turn, or witnessed any other violation.
After you've pulled over to a safe spot, you might want to show the officer a few other token courtesies. At this point, you have little to lose and perhaps something to gain. First off, roll down your window all the way.
You may also want to turn off the engine, place your hands on the steering wheel, and, if it's dark, turn on your interior light. This will tend to allay any fears the officer may have. (After all, police officers are killed every day in such "ordinary" traffic-stop situations, and the officer's approach to the vehicle is the potentially most dangerous.) Don't start rummaging through your back pocket for your wallet and license, or in your glove compartment for your registration, until the officer asks you for them. For all he knows, you could be reaching for a gun. If you are at all concerned that the person who stopped you is not actually a police officer (for example, if the car that pulled you over is unmarked), you should ask to see the officer's photo identification along with his badge. If you still have doubts, you can ask that the officer to call a supervisor to the scene or you can request that you be allowed to follow the officer to a police station. Should You Get Out of Your Car? An officer who stops you for an alleged traffic violation has the right to insist that you and your passengers get out of your car. You should do so if asked. Also, getting out of your car may make it easier for you to check road conditions, the weather, and the place the violation supposedly occurred. However, many police officers prefer that you stay in your car and will tell you to stay there if you start to get out. If this happens, obviously you should cooperate. If you get out of the car against the officer's orders, don't be surprised to see a gun pointing at you. Cops are trained to expect the worst.
Many people stopped by an officer make the mistake of saying the wrong thing to him and failing to say the right things. And a case can be won or lost depending on what you say or don't say to the officer. Don't speak first. Especially don't start off with a defensive or hostile "What's the problem?" or similar words. Let the officer start talking. He will probably ask to see your license and vehicle registration. Many people make the mistake of insisting the officer tell them why he stopped them before they'll comply. Don't make that mistake. Reply "okay" or "sure," then hand over the documents. One of the first things traffic cops learn in the police academy is to decide, before leaving their vehicle, whether they're going to give a ticket or just a warning. They may act as though they still haven't made up their minds and are going to let you off only if you'll cooperate. Don't fall for this. The hesitating officer may be trying to appear open-minded in order to extract admissions out of you, to use them against you in court if necessary. The strategy is to try to get you to admit either that you committed a violation or that you were so careless, inattentive, or negligent that you don't know whether you did or not. The officer might start by asking you the sort of question whose lack of a definite answer would imply guilt, like, "Do you know why I stopped you?" Or, he might ask, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Your answers, if any, should be non-committal and brief, like a simple "No" to the first question or a very confident, "Yes, I do," to the second. If he then tells you how fast he thinks you were going or what he thinks you did, don't argue. Give a noncommittal answer, like, "I see," or no answer at all. Silence is not an admission of guilt and cannot be used against you in court.

It is increasingly likely that the debate over whether the city should disband its police department will go to voters. The Council has asked city staff to draft a ballot initiative allowing Baldwin Park residents to vote whether to maintain the department or contract policing services from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. At the same time, a separate, resident-driven movement to put the question to voters is advancing, according to supporters. Members of Baldwin Park Citizens United have collected more than half of the 5,000 signatures they need to put the public safety issue on a ballot in a special election. Signatures must be collected by December 30th 2013. Any vote would be advisory only, as according to the City Attorney only the council has the authority to dissolve the department. They say the switch could save the city some $4 million, citing a preliminary study that concluded patrolling by the Sheriff's Department would cost about $15 million annually, while the Baldwin Park Police Department costs more than $19 million a year. In other matters The City Council extended for 10 years the city's contract with Waste Management for trash collection. The renegotiated contract will provide a small economic boost to the financially struggling city. Under the new agreement, Waste Management will pay Baldwin Park a one-time $1 million "contract modification" fee and an annual $50,000 "benefit fund" fee. In addition, the trash company will continue paying an annual franchise fee, which will amount to an estimated $1.2 million this year Under the new contract, Waste Management is allowed to increase rates annually based on the Consumer Price Index, up to 5 percent, for the next two years. After that, rate increases will require a hearing. The company is also required to implement an internship program for local high school students and provide backyard valet service for the homes of disabled residents.
Southern California Edison has begun work to take down the first of 16 electrical towers in Chino Hills. The utility had intended to string 500-kilovolt power lines through the towers, above residential homes, until the state Public Utilities Commission voted 3-2 in July to re-route 3.5 miles of the project underground. The decision reversed a 2009 PUC vote to permit the above-ground lines through 5 miles of Chino Hills. Undergrounding the lines will start at an Edison easement at Pipeline Avenue and the 71 Freeway and continue west through residential areas of the city. But before that can begin, the utility must remove 16 towers in its right-of-way, of which 11 are tubular steel towers and 5 are lattice. According to Edison, it will take up to two days to remove each tower and another three days remove the foundations, which are up to 60 feet below ground. Removal of all the towers in this part of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project can take up to three months. Edison Project Manager Jennifer Wolf said the lattice towers, once down, will be disassembled, bundled, stored and reused, while the tubular towers will be shipped to Edison's salvage yard to be recycled. Edison officials said the PUC has authorized $224 million for the whole undergrounding project, with $4 million slated for demolition of the towers. Edison officials believe, however, that the total cost will be in excess of $300 million because the authorized amount doesn't include voltage control equipment. The Tehachapi project through Chino Hills is expected to be complete by 2016.
The El Monte Union High School District's use of a $148 million construction bond is facing increased scrutiny from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office and a citizen's lawsuit. The District Attorney's Office is reviewing a complaint regarding the school district's use of funds from Measure D, a bond measure passed by voters in 2008. The school district has conducted a comprehensive audit on the use of those funds, but refuses to release the results. Information revealed by the audit, conducted in 2011, led the district to sever its contract with its former construction management firm, Alsaleh Project Management (APM). Superintendent Nick Salerno dismissed APM in a scathing letter accusing the firm and its principal Atta Alsaleh of falsely billing the district for more than $230,000, violating conflict-of-interest laws through another company owned by Alsaleh and his wife, and violating other laws. APM responded by accusing the district of libel and defamation. To avoid litigation, El Monte Union entered a settlement agreement with APM in October 2011 and Salerno retracted the allegations, according to district officials and documents. In the two years since, the district has remained tight-lipped about the accusations and the audit. Officials point to the settlement agreement with APM as justification for why they cannot comment or provide documents on various construction-related issues that have emerged, such as cost overruns and construction plans lacking required state approval. The California Public Records Act requires governmental records be disclosed to the public when they are requested, unless there is a specific reason not to, such as a personnel matter or ongoing confidential investigation.
The arraignment of four current and former Irwindale officials accused of corruption dating back to 2001 was delayed for a second time to give the judge time to review motions filed by the prosecutor and a defense attorney. City Council members Mark Breceda and Manual Garcia, former Councilwoman Rosemary Ramirez and retired Finance Director Abe De Dios appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday afternoon on charges of embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office refiled the charges on Aug. 13. They stem from multiple trips taken to New York City between 2001 and 2005. Prosecutors allege the officials spent $200,000 in public funds on expensive hotels and restaurants, Broadway shows and Major League Baseball games. The officials have denied wrongdoing and said the purpose of the trips was to improve the city's bond rating. Superior Court Judge Shelly Torrealba granted the prosecution's motion to dismiss two of the charges filed against Garcia — misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest. Deputy District Attorney Kennes Ma said the statute of limitations had expired on those charges because Garcia was not named in the original case the District Attorney's Office filed against the officials in 2010. Torrealba granted the four defendants continued released on their own recognizance. She ordered the defendants refrain from contacting witnesses in the case.
Hacienda La Puente Unified School District board censured fellow board member Joseph Chang, citing several ethics violations, including taking unauthorized trips to China to recruit foreign students, violating the board's conflict of interest policy and overstepping his authority. This was the first censure of a board member in the history of the district, according to school officials. Founded in 1970, HLPUSD is the largest school district in the San Gabriel Valley with 78,000 K-12 and adult students at 17 elementary, six K-8, four middle and five high schools and adult-education facilities. The board voted 3-1 for censure. School board members Jay Chen, Anthony Duarte and Rudy Chavarria voted in favor, while Chang voted in opposition. Board member Gino Kwok abstained. Censure is a rebuke by the board of Chang's actions but holds no other legal ramifications The Censure motion was requested after a 66-page report authorized by the former superintendent said Chang's trips were inappropriate and unauthorized. The report said his trips were paid for by BELA, a private recruiting firm, or by Norman Hsu, a former board member and the managing director of BELA. BELA can make between $7,500 and $15,000 over two years, according to the report. Chang's participation, combined with his votes on the program and specifically on lowering district tuition for foreign students, could constitute a conflict of interest, according to the report. The report also contends Chang may have pressured teachers at Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights to accept students from China who did not meet English language proficiency requirements in order to continue the flow of students into Wilson High. The report said Chang's credibility could have been in question when he suggested a student from China continue attend district schools illegally, beyond the federal visa one-year limit. The California Fair Political Practices Commission is also investigating the matter.
The cities of Upland and Montclair are finalizing a proposal for the partial merger of their fire departments, one that is aimed at reducing costs and intensifying firefighting resource capability and which will be presented to their respective city councils for consideration as early November.
Under the parameters being worked out, the command staff and administration of the two departments will become one and the service boundaries separating the departments will be eliminated. Each department will maintain its own identity and retain responsibility for its own firefighters. At present the city of Upland employs 36 full time firefighters staged out of four fire stations. Montclair fields 24 firefighters and operates out of two fire stations. Previously, the city of Upland contemplated outsourcing options for its fire department in an effort to reduce costs, including considering contracting with the city of Ontario, the California Division of Forestry or the county of San Bernardino for fire protection service. Upland also approached Los Angeles County to see if its fire department would provide it with a fire service proposal. Los Angeles County turned Upland down because the California Division of Forestry, also known as Cal Fire, and LA County Fire have an agreement that Cal Fire will not come into Los Angeles County to seek contracts and Los Angeles County has agreed not to go into San Bernardino County or Orange County for contract agencies.
In Montclair, officials previously gave serious consideration to the outsourcing of that 36,664-poulation municipality's fire department, specifically the concept of dissolving the department in favor of contracting with the San Bernardino County Fire Department or the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. At the root of the move are financial causes, brought on by the downturn of the economy, dwindling governmental revenue and the conflation of governmental services.
More and varied types of housing, open spaces and development around transportation centers are among the features that could be part of Pomona's future in the years to come. The features were discussed during a joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning Commissio when they reviewed a draft of the city's general plan. The general plan, which is in the process of being updated, is a document that contains the vision and the guidelines for development in the city. The specific plan document provides details for the implementation of guidelines and standards meant to assist in the revitalization of four of the city's major corridors – Garey and Holt avenues and Foothill and Mission boulevards. The plan calls for providing additional housing particularly that which appeals to college and graduate students as well as to young professionals, young families and empty nesters. Such housing is and will continue to be in demand in the years to come, said Erik Calloway, principal with Freedman, Tung and Sasaki, a San Francisco-based firm that has been working with the city staff in updating the general plan. Housing near transportation centers also has great appeal as people look to reduce their dependence on cars and turn to walking, bicycling and public transportations systems to get around.
The Police Department is using a new tool to distribute crime information to residents. The department has partnered with BAIR Analytics, Inc. to provide an online crime map for residents to view crime data and to allow the department to alert residents about crimes as they occur. The map, called RAIDS Online, is viewable on the city's website, www.uplandpl.lib.ca.us, and through a mobile application. Residents are able to view crime information in their neighborhood, including the type of crime, location, block-level address, date and time. Users can also sign up for Neighborhood Watch reports and submit anonymous tips. The map is synced with the department's record system.The department is also encouraging residents to sign up for alerts through Nixle, which sends out emails or alerts to mobile phones.The alerts could range from traffic accidents to community events as well as "most wanted" fliers and pictures of suspects.
City council approved the purchase of a new Mobile Command Post for the police department and two new ambulances for the fire department. It also gave West Covina police the green light to join a new digital radio communications system operated jointly throughout the San Gabriel Valley. The current Mobile Command Post is approximately 30 years old. With the approval of the council, the police department has joined the Interagency Communications Interoperability System. Through the newly formed San Gabriel Valley Region Communications Network Group, the cities of Glendora, Azusa, Covina, Irwindale, La Verne and West Covina will connect to ICIS, enabling a greater range of radio coverage and interconnectivity between the agencies through a digital radio system. The two new ambulances can accommodate up to three patients. The cities' existing three ambulances can only carry three. A new modular box design of the ambulance allows it to be moved to a different chassis if needed, reducing the cost of future ambulances. The new purchases are paid through asset seizure funds, state grants and donations from the Castucci Foundation.. No general fund money was used.


Arcade is set to arrive this fall and will let users play exclusive games ad-free on mobile, desktop, and Apple TV - meaning you can stop playing on one device, and pick up where you left off on another. Brands like Disney, Konami, Sega, as well as smaller shops that have done well in Apple's App Store like ustwo (which developed the hit game Monument Valley ), are all said to be taking part in Apple Arcade. According to certain sources that spoke to the FT, several of whom are involved in the Arcade project, the company is spending several million dollars on for each of the games that will populate the platform.
At the launch of the service last month, where Apple also showed off its much-hyped TV+ service, the company confirmed that Arcade will be integrated into the App Store and won't feature any advertisements or in-app purchases. But to establish itself in the market, Apple is having to make substantial upfront investments without knowing whether Arcade will be a success. The total budget is expected to clear $500 million.
Of course, both Sony and Microsoft also have competing subscription services in PlayStation Now and Xbox Game Pass. Users will be able to play these games in the offline mode as well. All games on Apple Arcade are handpicked by the company and the option to play and access these will be limited to the company's devices. They estimate that Apple could earn revenues of around $370m from Arcade service in 2020, which will increase to $4.5bn by 2024.


Regarding WAPO science writer Sarah Kaplan's recent review of scientific commentary on the UFO phenomenon, she seems oblivious to a basic truth: There is a distinct and fundamental difference between merely having an opinion, and having an informed opinion, on any given topic. This holds true for scientists and laypersons alike. Because very, very few scientists have actually studied the UFO phenomenon before holding forth, their pronouncements about it must be viewed for what they really are: Pontification with little or no data to support their dismissive assessments.
Granted, while Kaplan mentions the investigative efforts of astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek—whose initial skepticism about UFOs was eventually discarded, after he analyzed a number of genuinely inexplicable sighting reports compiled by the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s—she devotes most of her article to touting the demonstrably uninformed utterances of UFO skeptics such as physicist Enrico Fermi and SETI specialist Jill Tartar.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the Air Force's ongoing attempts to suppress the frequently high-quality data on UFOs it collected, McDonald began to investigate the phenomenon on his own time and at his own expense, while ignoring the very real risk to his scientific reputation.
Although this was merely an opinion, it was after all an informed opinion on UFOs, something very few other scientists could offer, then or now. Many of McDonald's published papers, private research notes, and personal letters relating to his investigations of the UFO phenomenon are now accessible at the University of Arizona, providing insight into the cautious reasoning underlying his dramatic conclusions.
While most scientists (and science writers) are quick to dismiss as impossible the idea that UFOs are alien spacecraft, very few of them will ever make the effort to learn whether any evidence exists to suggest otherwise. Instead, they merely continue to assert that, as an idea, it simply does not work.
In other words, most scientists reject outright the validity of UFO research, refuse to engage in it, and deliberately ignore the intriguing data compiled by a handful of their more inquisitive, less-biased peers. If this were not enough, despite their profound unfamiliarity with the subject, many of these same intransigent individuals preach about UFOs in the most shameless and presumptuous manner. If they were to apply this same "methodology" to their own research, their colleagues might justifiably consider their conduct incompetent, if not fraudulent. Nevertheless, it is rare to hear a scientist speak knowledgeably about the UFO phenomenon and rarer still to find one who has actually studied it.
Robert's newly revised book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, is now available on Amazon.
Hi Robert, I wrote the book -- "The Close Encounters Man," the biography of Dr. J. Allen Hynek -- on which Kaplan was commenting, and my take-away is different from yours. For me, the most important point wasn't that the article was skeptical, but that the article was written by the Post's science writer, and not some entertainment editor or "News of the Weird" editor. That fact alone, in my opinion, signifies that the Post actually took my book seriously, and how often does a paper like the Post take a UFO book seriously? I want my book to start public discussions like this (and I hope your readers have smart, lively responses to your essay!) Because ultimately that's the best thing for the study of UFOs.
Socorro was one of the cases that pushed Hynek over the edge, and it is still one of the 701 'unknowns' from Project Bluebook. I have an unseen video recording of Hynek talking about how he missed key evidence in that case while talking with ray Stanford.


Sometimes we lack creativity in maintaining connections with our partner. We often are better conversationalists with our friends than our partner. But, Gottman's research shows that couples who maintain an up to date knowledge of their partner's inner world their thoughts and changing perspectives on life maintain more vibrancy in their relationship than couples who let things slide and assume nothing has changed.
This pack of 35 cards is jammed with interesting things to talk about. Use them at the evening meal, when driving in the car, or out for a walk. They're a fun way of keeping you in the habit of updating with your partner and family.

A new website has popped up as a result of a research project undertaken at the University of Tennessee School of Information Sciences. The project was funded from an IMLS grant. I don't know if there is any expectation of keeping up the site but there are some useful things there and some not-so-useful things there. Several of us have attempted to contact the lead research, Vandana Singh, so she could correct the misrepresentations. But no one has received a response. Too bad. Anyway, here's the letter I sent her.
I am a library technology consultant working in the area of open source ILS, materials handling, RFID, and a few other things. The new site you created looks to be very useful. We've needed something like what you've created for awhile!
I do take issue, however, with your representation of Liblime as the "global leader in Koha support." See http://opensource-ils.cci.utk.edu/content/faqs. Liblime may make that claim, but it has no basis in reality. As is clear from the long list of service providers for Koha on the Koha Support page (https://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/), there are many, many companies providing services. Some are bigger in one country than others. But Liblime is most definitely not the leader in any one country. In the U.S., if you consult Marshall Breeding's directory, you'll see that the bulk of the libraries using support providers for their Koha system are using ByWater Solutions.
Also, as you indicate on your site, the version of software provided by Liblime is no longer the open source community Koha so one could argue that they shouldn't even be included (or at least their non-Open Source products shouldn't be included). I think they may ALSO support community Koha so it would be good to list them as a service provider but featuring them in the Koha FAQ area of your website as "global leaders?" ...that's quite a reach and it only serves to inflame the community who has had to deal with Liblime making similar claims for years.
I hope you will make some changes to your otherwise very useful website so that it doesn't get written off as a tool of Liblime.


Australia's health system encourages doctors to provide as many 'services' as they can, rather than encouraging good health.
An excellent piece, head and heart working well together. Let us take the focus off doctors and hospitals and put it on people and health. Peter Baume's recent piece didn't quite say that, but it's the right start.
A much larger bucket of money that is generally spent very foolishly and often not for the government intended purpose is all the various parental allowances.
These funds should be redirected to fund better health care - which would address many of the cost issues of young parents.
Public institutions are almost invariably less efficient than private ones. That is why 'scaling down' private health care is a misguided solution. How do you scale down a private institution anyway?
Clearly the author has an socialist axe to grind.
Bruce, if it's lefties who would object to stopping the buckets of money being thrown as electoral bribes to families, why is the Coalition in government, and why are most sections of the welfare lobby vehemently opposed to middle-class welfare taking precedence over welfare aimed at the poor? More lefties than conservatives strenuously object to the current patchwork of un-targeted family payments.
Alan Grey, this is not the place, nor is there room, for a general discussion on public v private efficiency, so I'll stick to one specific point. Private hospitals are more than acceptable in many cases, but depend on rapid throughput to make profits. In general, this means surgical cases. If you are unfortunate enough to come down with a severe illness which calls for nursing, medication, and most importantly, prolonged treatment, and for which surgery is not indicated, a public hospital is the place to go. Preferably a major teaching hospital.
Private hospitals make no secret of the fact that medical cases aren't as lucrative as surgery, and they'd prefer such cases be treated in the public system. A point which was made very clear to me by Prince of Wales Private Hospital when, after surgery in the private section, my mother got septacaemia (not linked to the surgery, but part of the same illness). They told me straight out that because this would take a long time to treat, she'd be better off in the public hospital, even though she was covered for private hospital treatment.
This seems to indicate that we continue to need public hospitals. Private hospitals are, and will presumably remain, simply an adjunct.
It would appeal to many lefties, if the family allowances that make it possible for low income families to survive remained in place. There seems little point to me in increasing health care, and the expense of the food budget. Low income families have been screwed into the ground for the previous 23 years, we are unable to absorb any more.
The wealthy want tax cuts, we want services, if the wealthy get their way, as is probable under this government, we will see the introduction of beggers on the street, much like south-east Asia.
We will be there in our tattered clothes, cap in hand, watching the parasites drive past in their beamers. Yes "the new right" are all wrong.
Thank you for a timely and well argued paper.
You are spot on re Indigenous Health Issues and Mental Health Issues.
I have worked for the public and private sectors of health (disease) systems in Australia - some 30 or so years.
I will never feel safe in a private hospital (and I have been a patient in several). Most of the so-called nurses, are nursing assistants without any nursing education (get 'em off the street and train them like a monkey. A monkey can be trained to deliver and exit with a bed pan - it's the analysis of the bed pan that is of optimum importance).
Medical officers rarely write comprehensive reports, and RNs play a cow tow game.
"Clients" and doctors set the rules - all based on the dollar.
Nursing in private psychiatric hospitals is the greatest joke of all. "Oh yes, I am suicidal, but I do need my Chardonnay tonight".
Professor, I was once a nurse academic. I left the "pseudo" fold on the grounds of honesty - for myself and people with potential mental health problems.

Ever have one of those days? Now before you agree with me – I'm not talking "one of those days" – I'm talking one of THOSE days! The ones where you are reminded of God's presence early in the morning when you get a download you share on FB that have others reaching out off-line and it's really just because you are preaching to yourself and know we all share in similar struggles. When you get to work and even though the "to do" list is longer than the work day? You decide to stop and take the time to connect with a co-worker who has become a friend, and you get to talk about the Lord and you get THE BEST nugget you will share later in the day to someone who needs encouragement. (Cause you know He's going to redeem the time anyway). You get an email from the NTSB and already see the content for your next blog in it! IKR?!? But you'll see! You get to hear about a young boy who told his Momma that he liked this new church because the kids were in an environment they weren't just playing and having fun – he actually gets to listen to the preacher and soak in the word! (BTW – That boy having a heart to get closer to the Lord at that young age?!? I've thought about that off and on all day. He's going to be used mightily! He has a heart like David.) You decide to have a Midnight Mint Mocha frappe for lunch, because well, you can! You're in the car leaving work and the videographer surprises you with the message "I have a trailer done for the Coffee with Kris video. We can release the trailer tonight." What?!?! We just recorded 2 days ago?!? I watched the trailer while sitting in traffic and found myself with goosebumps and tears. It moves you when you know God's going to take your small effort and use it to encourage and give others hope. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better??? The icing on the cake of my day!! After prayer service the sweetest little girl brings me a hug and this folded up note. I opened it when I got in the car. I couldn't stop smiling! Keep your MK designs and give me a Crayola any time! And?!? Sweet Jasmine always calls me "Miss Kris". Notice anything in this picture?!? Yeah – I'm just choosing to believe it was a lil' prophetic!! God does speak to us in mysterious ways!! I had an amazing day!! and all I did? Was enjoy the moments God gave me. While I like to think I'm his favorite? He is no respecter of persons. He's giving you those moments too – just take the time to stop and enjoy them.
