State v. Carter
413 N.W.2d 901 (1987)
226 Neb. 636
STATE of Nebraska, Appellee, v. George E. CARTER, Appellant. STATE of Nebraska, Appellee, v. Victor L. CARTER, Appellant.
Nos. 86-442, 86-445.
Supreme Court of Nebraska.
October 16, 1987.
*903 William J. Elder of McCormack, Cooney, Mooney & Hillman, and Raymond J. Hasiak of Dowd, Fahey, Dinsmore & Hasiak, Omaha, for appellants.
Robert M. Spire, Atty. Gen., and William L. Howland, Lincoln, for appellee.
BOSLAUGH, C.J., Pro Tem., WHITE, HASTINGS, CAPORALE, SHANAHAN, and GRANT, JJ., and COLWELL, District Judge, Retired.
BOSLAUGH, Chief Justice, Pro Tem.
The defendants, Victor L. Carter and George E. Carter, were charged in separate informations with first degree murder, with use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and with being habitual criminals. In the trial court the cases were consolidated for trial. In this court they were consolidated for briefing and argument.
The jury returned verdicts of guilty, and the defendants were each sentenced to life imprisonment on the murder count and to a consecutive term of 10 years on the use of a firearm count.
On appeal the defendants contend that the trial court erred in overruling their motion to suppress identification testimony of Peggy Hatfield and Scott Reynolds, in failing to sustain their motion for a continuance, in failing to sustain their pleas in abatement, in permitting the State to introduce the preliminary hearing testimony of an absent witness, in that the trial was tainted with racial prejudice, in that numerous evidentiary rulings were erroneous, and in granting the State's motion in limine to suppress prior inconsistent evidence.
The record shows that the victim, Jeffrey R. Peterson, died as the result of being shot during the early morning hours of October 9, 1985. A single .38-caliber bullet entered the left chest of the victim and penetrated both lungs and his heart.
The record further shows that between the hours of midnight and 1:30 a.m. on October 9, 1985, the deceased, Jeffrey Peterson, and his cousin, John Flynn, drove to the 19th and Lothrop Streets area in Omaha, Nebraska. They had been asked by a friend of theirs, Gerald Kincaid, to give a message to Janelle Anzalone to either call Kincaid or come to his house because Anzalone owed Kincaid money for pills she had purchased from him. Upon their arrival, Peterson and Flynn met two black males in a blue and white Cadillac parked in front of Anzalone's residence. Flynn inquired as to the whereabouts of Anzalone and was told by the person in the driver's seat that she was not around. During the conversation Flynn was threatened by someone in the Cadillac, and threats were made also against Kincaid or the Kincaid house. Later, Flynn was able to identify only one person in the Cadillac, that being Chester Carter, a brother of the defendants. Flynn could not positively identify Victor Carter as being present in the Cadillac and admitted that it was only his speculation that the individuals at 19th and Lothrop had anything to do with the later shooting.
After this attempt to contact Anzalone, Flynn and Peterson returned to Kincaid's residence at 39th and Young Streets and told Kincaid what had occurred. Peggy Hatfield, Scott Reynolds, and Ross Little were outside the Kincaid house, working on Flynn's car.
Just before 3 a.m. Hatfield, Reynolds, and Little decided to drive to a nearby convenience store for coffee and sandwiches. The three got into Hatfield's car, which was parked facing south on 39th Street. Before they pulled away from the curb, a car came up 39th Street, going north. Hatfield testified that the car contained two or three black males and that the car slowed down as it passed Kincaid's house. The car turned at the intersection of 39th and Young, backed up, and began to drive south on 39th Street. By this time Hatfield had also begun to drive south on 39th Street. The other car was now behind Hatfield and began honking its horn, so Hatfield pulled over to the curb. The car *904 (later described by Reynolds as a blue/light blue-gray Buick) pulled alongside Hatfield's car at about an arm's-length distance. The passenger in the car, whom Hatfield later identified as Victor Carter, pointed a gun toward Hatfield and asked if she knew Jerry Kincaid. She replied that she did not. Victor then said something to the effect of "[d]on't come messing around in our neighborhood or with our people." Hatfield again started to drive south on 39th Street. She looked in her rearview mirror and did not see the car following her. Hatfield drove to a phone booth on 30th Street, located 10 to 15 blocks away from the Kincaid residence. Reynolds made a phone call to the Kincaid residence and was told that Peterson had just been shot.
After Peterson and Flynn had returned from 19th and Lothrop, Kincaid received two or three unpleasant phone calls from Janelle Anzalone. During the second or third phone call, it was brought to Kincaid's attention that a blue car was coming around the corner. He looked out the window and said, "That's them," and then hung up on Anzalone. Flynn testified that Kincaid said, "They just went by" and that he (Flynn) understood Kincaid to mean the Carters. Flynn decided to go across the street to his grandmother's house, where he thought it would be safe, and indicated to Peterson to come with him.
As Peterson and Flynn walked out the front door, Flynn grabbed a baseball bat, and they began to walk through the front yard. When they were in the middle of the yard, the car came around the corner, sped up, and then slammed on its brakes. Flynn threw the bat toward the vehicle, but testified he did not know whether the bat hit the vehicle. Flynn saw muzzle flashes, heard a boom, and said, "Run, Jeff; they've got guns." Flynn ran back behind Kincaid's house, looked around the corner to see if anyone was coming, and then heard footsteps which he thought would be Peterson's. Instead, it was a friend of his named William Howard Thurman, saying that Peterson had been shot. Flynn never actually saw Peterson being shot, but did later identify the vehicle involved as a silver- or grayish-colored four-door Buick.
Later that morning, the Carter automobile was located in a motel parking lot near 39th and Dodge Streets. Flynn was brought to the parking lot and identified the Carter automobile as being the same car involved in the shooting. Reynolds also identified the car as being the same one that pulled Hatfield's car to the side of the road. The vehicle was registered to Georgia Carter, the mother of the defendants.
Meanwhile, police officers were advised that the parties had left the building and were in an alley behind the motel. Officers Strong and Thuelen went to the alley behind the motel and arrested Victor Carter, Chester Carter, and Janelle Anzalone. George Carter was arrested by another officer in a bushy area around the corner from the motel. During his arrest, officers found a .38-caliber cartridge in George Carter's pocket, and 12 additional live .38 long rounds were found lying in the shrubbery.
That morning a lineup or "show up" consisting of Chester Carter, Victor Carter, and George Carter was conducted at the Central Police Station. Flynn identified Chester as one of the persons he saw in the blue and white Cadillac earlier that evening at 19th and Lothrop Streets. Reynolds identified Victor as the passenger in the front seat of the Buick that had pulled the Hatfield car over and also identified George as being a passenger in the back seat of that car. Reynolds later testified at trial that he was mistaken in his placement of George during the lineup and that George was actually the driver of the vehicle. Ross Little, also a passenger in the Hatfield car, identified Victor as the driver of the Buick and George as the passenger in the front seat. Hatfield identified Victor as the passenger waving a gun at her, but could not identify anyone else in the vehicle.
At the trial Kincaid testified that he had seen the shooting; that the blue car had stopped near the front of his house; that the passenger door flew open and a man jumped out, shooting a gun twice; and that *905 then the driver jumped out and started shooting a gun four or five times. Kincaid identified the passenger as Victor and the driver as George.
The first assignment of error relates to the lineup identifications by Peggy Hatfield and Scott Reynolds. The defendants contend that Hatfield and Reynolds should not have been allowed to testify as to their previous identifications because the lineup was unduly suggestive and their testimony was hearsay. No objections were made during trial to the testimony of either Hatfield or Reynolds. Therefore, the alleged error was not preserved for this court's review.
As stated recently in State v. Pointer, 224 Neb. 892, 895, 402 N.W.2d 268, 271 (1987), "[I]n a criminal trial, after a pretrial hearing and order which overrules a defendant's motion to suppress his statement, the defendant must object at trial to the receipt of the statement in order to preserve the question for review on appeal." This holding was followed in State v. Roggenkamp, 224 Neb. 914, 402 N.W.2d 682 (1987), where we refused to consider error assigned to the admission of evidence concerning Intoxilyzer test results because no objection was made to the evidence at the trial.
The same rationale applies in this case. No objection was made to prosecution inquiries regarding the lineup.
As dictated by the Nebraska Evidence Rules, error may not be predicated on a ruling which admits evidence unless a substantial right of a party is affected and a timely objection appears of record, stating the specific ground of objection, if a specific ground was not apparent from the context.
Roggenkamp, supra at 920, 402 N.W.2d at 687.
The second assignment of error concerns the trial court's refusal to grant the request for a continuance. This court will not reverse an order granting or refusing a continuance except where there has been an abuse of sound legal discretion by the lower court. In re Interest of C.G.C.S., 225 Neb. 605, 407 N.W.2d 196 (1987); State v. Mecum, 225 Neb. 293, 404 N.W.2d 431 (1987); State v. Donnelson, 225 Neb. 41, 402 N.W.2d 302 (1987).
Counsel for the defendants failed to comply with Neb.Rev.Stat. § 25-1148 (Reissue 1985), which provides that an application for continuance shall be by written motion and supported by affidavits setting forth the facts upon which the continuance is requested.
A failure to comply with § 25-1148 is relevant as to whether the trial court abused its discretion. In Metschke v. Department of Motor Vehicles, 186 Neb. 197, 200, 181 N.W.2d 843, 845 (1970), overruled on other grounds Mackey v. Director of Department of Motor Vehicles, 194 Neb. 707, 235 N.W.2d 394 (1975), this court stated: "In the absence of a showing in conformance with section 25-1148, R.R.S. 1943, it is not error for the trial court to refuse to grant a continuance." In that case we found no abuse of discretion in denying the appellant's oral motion for a continuance (to secure additional witnesses) because there was no showing made as to what evidence would be procured by calling additional witnesses, no showing of materiality, and no showing of any other matters pertinent in support of the motion.
A similar finding was made in Stastny v. Tachovsky, 178 Neb. 109, 132 N.W.2d 317 (1964), holding there was no error in denying a motion for a continuance where an oral application was made the morning of the trial, no written application was made, and the parties seeking the continuance had sufficient time to prepare for trial. See, also, Vlcek v. Sutton, 201 Neb. 555, 270 N.W.2d 906 (1978).
In the present case, no written application was made, and no affidavits were filed to support a claim of prejudice if the continuance were not allowed. The defendants base their request on the fact that the prosecution witness Kincaid changed his previous statement and claimed to be an eyewitness to the shooting. The record shows that the defense counsel learned of the changed statement approximately 2 *906 weeks before the start of the trial, they were given copies of the new statement, and they had full opportunity to cross-examine the witness at trial. These facts show there was no abuse of discretion in overruling the motion for a continuance.
In their third assignment of error, the defendants contend the trial court erred in overruling their pleas in abatement because the evidence adduced at the preliminary hearing was not sufficient to bind them over.
Any error in ruling on a plea in abatement is cured by a subsequent finding at trial of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Jacobs, 226 Neb. 184, 410 N.W.2d 468 (1987); State v. Schreck, 226 Neb. 172, 409 N.W.2d 624 (1987); State v. Baker, 224 Neb. 130, 395 N.W.2d 766 (1986).
At the trial, the State was allowed to introduce the testimony of Ross Little received at the preliminary hearing. The defendants' fourth assignment of error is that the trial court erred in finding that Little was unavailable as a witness.
On March 28 or 29, 1986, Officer James C. Wilson of the Omaha Police Division was instructed to locate Little for the trial. Officer Wilson learned that Little was living in Oregon, contacted the local police in Oregon, and obtained the address and phone number of Little's father. Officer Wilson spoke with the father and left a message to have Little call him. One or two days later, Little returned the call and was told that he was needed as a witness. Little was told that his transportation to Omaha would be paid.
While arranging for an airline flight, Officer Wilson discovered an outstanding felony warrant for Little. Officer Wilson then called Little and told him about the warrant. Little was aware of this warrant, but was willing to return to Nebraska anyway.
Sometime later Officer Wilson told Little's father that his son would be arrested when he came back to Nebraska. Officer Wilson then contacted the local police in Oregon and requested that they arrest Little on a fugitive charge. As of April 4, 1986, the day Officer Wilson testified, Little had not been found.
Neb.Rev.Stat. § 27-804(1)(e) (Reissue 1985) provides that a witness is unavailable if "the proponent of his statement has been unable to procure his attendance by process or other reasonable means." A witness is not unavailable unless the prosecutorial authorities have made a good faith effort to obtain the witness' presence at trial. Barber v. Page, 390 U.S. 719, 88 S. Ct. 1318, 20 L. Ed. 2d 255 (1968); State v. Bothwell, 218 Neb. 395, 355 N.W.2d 506 (1984).
The issue here is whether the prosecution, through the efforts of Officer Wilson, made a good faith effort. Officer Wilson first tried to bring back Little voluntarily. When questioned as to why no attempt was made to immediately arrest Little, and instead giving him a chance to come back on his own, Officer Wilson testified, "My information is it would be much easier to get him back here willingly rather than having to extradite him. It's a long process."
It is within the sound discretion of the trial court whether unavailability has been shown. Absent a showing of an abuse of discretion, the trial court's decision will be upheld. State v. Wiley, 223 Neb. 835, 394 N.W.2d 641 (1986); State v. Bothwell, 218 Neb. 395, 355 N.W.2d 506 (1984).
In this case, the admission of Little's testimony from the preliminary hearing was at most harmless error. "If properly admitted evidence exists to establish that which improperly admitted evidence also establishes, the error in receiving the inadmissible evidence is not grounds for reversal." State v. Klingelhoefer, 222 Neb. 219, 224, 382 N.W.2d 366, 370 (1986); State v. Hunt, 220 Neb. 707, 371 N.W.2d 708 (1985), overruled on other grounds State v. Palmer, 224 Neb. 282, 399 N.W.2d 706 (1986).
Little's testimony at the preliminary hearing was that he was a passenger in a car driven by Peggy Hatfield, that a blue car came up from behind and flashed its lights, and that Hatfield stopped and *907 pulled over. One of the occupants of the car asked if they knew Jerry Kincaid, to which they responded they did not. Little's testimony differed from the testimony of the other witnesses only in that at the lineup he placed Victor as the driver and George as the passenger. The record shows that the testimony of Peggy Hatfield and Scott Reynolds established basically the same facts as the testimony of Little. Any error in the ruling regarding unavailability was at most harmless error.
The defendants' fifth assignment of error is that the trial was tainted with racial prejudice. The record does not support this contention.
We have examined the record concerning each of the evidentiary rulings complained of and find that they were not erroneous or not prejudicial. The admission or exclusion of evidence is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court and will be upheld absent an abuse of discretion. State v. Ryan, 226 Neb. 59, 409 N.W.2d 579 (1987); State v. Wilson, 225 Neb. 466, 406 N.W.2d 123 (1987).
The final assignment of error is that the trial court erred in granting the State's motion in limine to suppress evidence of an incident a few months prior to the shooting, where John Flynn threatened a neighbor with a gun. The defendants contend the evidence should have been admitted to impeach Flynn's testimony that he did not own a gun. The trial court refused to admit the evidence because it related to a collateral matter. We find no abuse of discretion.
The judgments are affirmed.
AFFIRMED
of Nebraska Supreme Court opinions.

HIS STORY: Tackling Race at Fenwick
A former class president and Oak Parker writes about trading his orange-and-blue colors of the Youth Huskies football program for the Friars' black and white in 2011 – and never looking back. But what about that other "black-and-white" issue?
By Aaron Garland '15
Growing up, I hated Fenwick as a kid. I believe it was because I always imagined myself in an orange and blue uniform at OPRF High School. Playing under the lights on Lake Street was a dream of mine.
I remember in grade school, I went to watch OPRF play Fenwick in a basketball game. The energy was crazy! It was standing room only at the field house. Iman Shumpert [now with the NBA's Brooklyn Nets] was the star at the time, and I felt like he embodied what OPRF was about. Another reason I was attached to OPRF was because I played for the Oak Park Youth Huskies and looked forward to continuing the sport together. A few guys who were a part of that team were Lloyd Yates [OPRF & NU, see below], Christopher Hawthorne [Fenwick '15] and Antonio Cannon [OPRF & Augustana College].
Huskies and Friars: Offensive lineman Adam Lemke-Bell (from left) and QB Lloyd Yates both went on to Northwestern, while CB Garland headed to UConn and DT Hawthorne to Illinois Wesleyan.
My journey to Fenwick began with my Mom. Around sixth grade, she would always say, "You're going to Fenwick." I didn't think she was serious until she made me take the Fenwick entrance exam. I didn't want to do it but, in my heart, I knew it was the best thing for me. The academic expectation at Fenwick scared me. Growing up, when Fenwick High School came up in conversation, the academic prestige was mentioned. I knew Fenwick would challenge me academically. A piece of me wanted to take the easy way out and leave the exam blank on test day. That wasn't my style, though. I liked challenges!
When it came to test day, I remember it was early on a Saturday morning. I had a basketball practice shortly after, so my plan was to take the exam as quickly as possible so I could go hoop! As I took the test, I hoped that Fenwick would not accept me.
While waiting on my results, I continued my regular routine playing sports and hanging out with friends. Growing up in the Oak Park-River Forest area was special. For the bulk of my childhood, I hung out with mostly white guys and girls with a sprinkling of blacks and Latinos.
Garland was a three-year starter on the Friars' varsity, which won IHSA playoff games all three seasons and advanced to the 7A quarter-finals in 2014. As a senior, the cornerback had four interceptions and two pick-sixes. ESPN ranked him a top-75 CB prospect nationally.
I finally got my test results, and I was in! Two of my close friends received letters of acceptance as well. So the three of us were headed to Fenwick. During our first assembly, Mr. Borsch told us to look to our left and right. He went on to say that the person next to us would not be here in four years. I was shocked that he said that and wondered why people didn't finish. Was it the tough academics? The dress code? Or the rules? As I looked around at the freshman class, I was hoping that I would be one of the few to remain. Sadly, after one and a half years, both my friends were gone. I won't go into detail on why they didn't remain; let's just say Fenwick was not the right fit for them.
I had a couple close calls at Fenwick myself that could have gotten me kicked out. I am grateful for the mercy that was shown by Wallace Pendleton [Fenwick Class of 2005], our Dean of Students at the time. Wallace was a former Division 1 athlete [Akron football] and he is African American. I believe being black in that situation actually helped me and he saw something in me. Thank you, Wallace. At this point, I was tested to expand my friendships beyond the friends I came in with. That same year, my sister transferred to Fenwick from Trinity, so that was a plus. [BONUS BLOG: Read how alumni Maya Garland '14, Aaron's sister, defied the odds.]
AG (5'11" and 193 lbs. in college) eventually did become a Husky again — at UConn.
I played basketball, football and baseball my first year at Fenwick. I later switched to only playing football. I always believed I was a great baseball player, but I knew football was going to be the sport that sent me to college for free. I later switched to only playing football. The summer before my junior year, I received a full-ride scholarship to play at the University of Connecticut.
Playing sports at Fenwick made it easy to be accepted by others. I had some good teammates like Keshaun Smith [Class of 2014], Robert Spillane ['14], Chris Hawthorne '15 and Richard Schoen '14, but the list goes on and on. Along with good teammates, I had some great coaches: Gene Nudo (football), Mark Laudadio '84 (basketball) and Titcus Pettigrew (football). However, I felt bad for the minorities who were not connected with others through sports.
I would be lying if I said racism did not exist at Fenwick. I also wouldn't be telling the truth if I said everyone there was racist. There was definitely a disconnect between minorities and whites.
'East Kids' and 'West Kids'
I mentioned earlier that I grew up with mostly white guys and girls and a sprinkle of blacks and Latinos. So attending Fenwick, a majority white school, was not new to me. No matter what school I attended growing up, minorities always stuck together.
Naturally, we all feel more comfort when we are around the same race. However, I never wanted to put limits on friendships based on race, so I made an effort to be friends will all races. Personally, I can't remember anytime that someone called me the 'N word' or was openly racist towards me while at Fenwick. I was the class president my junior year, so I guess I had won the hearts of my classmates the first two years. I would have been class president two years in row if I had decided to run my senior year, but I wanted to give someone else the opportunity to add the position to their high school resume. I enjoyed being class president, it gave me a sense of purpose outside of sports. It also helped me get rid of the stereotype that blacks attended Fenwick only for sports. I am not sure if I was the first black class president at Fenwick, but I'm sure I was one of the few.
Racism has been talked about for centuries. Here is my take on it: I believe it starts at home. Kids do outside what they are taught at home. In Fenwick's situation, a lot of kids come from the western suburbs, such as Burr Ridge, Western Springs and Hinsdale. We called these people "west kids."
AG returned to the Priory in 2018 to coach Fenwick defensive backs at the freshman level. Those players are now juniors.
Those neighborhoods lack diversity. So, due to the lack of diversity in those neighborhoods, it leads to kids being awkward around minorities. I remember going to parties in the west suburbs and feeling like I was being "watched" by the parents a little more closely than others. I am not saying everyone from the west suburbs is racist. I believe the interaction is just different with them. It's not their fault that they grew up in a neighborhood that lacks diversity.
At Fenwick, you had two types of white kids — those who fit in with the minorities and those who didn't. The kids who fit in seemed to have grown up in the Oak Park, Elmwood Park and Chicago area. Also known as the "east kids," these students seemed to be more familiar with minorities due to their environment. So, it was not a problem of race but rather with environment.
I am grateful for the experiences I had at Fenwick. My classmates and teachers all made it a unique experience. Of course, academically we learned a lot and were challenged. Fenwick prepared me for college courses at UConn. Honestly, I felt like Fenwick was harder than college academically. I believe this is the reason I was able to graduate from college in three years and serve on the leadership board of the college of liberal arts and sciences.
Aside from the books, it was the people I appreciated learning from, especially Gene Nudo and Rena [Ciancio '00] McMahon. Coach Nudo told me to be the kind of guy that colleges want to put on the front page of their advertisements. Nudo was my favorite coach throughout my sports career. He loved his players. Ms. McMahon was my counselor. She always believe in me and knew how to listen when I needed someone to talk to. If I wasn't in class or practicing, I was talking to Rena or Nudo in their offices.
I learned how to be a young man at Fenwick, how to speak, how to treat people and, most importantly, how to keep God in your life. One of the statements we heard at Fenwick was "Everything in moderation," which has stuck with me until this day!

My first job when I came back from college was with state senator Don Harmon, who is now the president of the Illinois Senate. This job came from the help of Fenwick alumnus Sean Harmon [Class of 2004], Don's cousin. While working with Senator Harmon, I started coaching freshman football at Fenwick. I am currently working at the Cook County Board of Review as an appeals analyst. I say this to show that Fenwick opened up doors for me when it was time to join the "real world." I am confident that the prestige of Fenwick will continue to do that. Moving forward, I am going to be a helping hand in bringing diversity, equity and inclusion to Fenwick so that more minorities will have the opportunity to attend one of the best schools in the state.
I encourage students to love one another and find things in common with people who don't look like you. Whether it be academics, hobbies or sports, we all can relate somehow. Also, make time to have conversations with the adults in the building. There are many great minds in that building, whether it is the lunch ladies or those working in administration, from whom you can learn something.
I want to give thanks to the following people who were not mentioned above. Mrs. Nowicki (math teacher); Mr. Arellano (retired speech teacher); Tony McCormick ['78] and Becky (athletic trainers); Mr. Ruffino (friend, former coach and facilities director); Mr. Ori (admissions director, '03) and Mrs. (Morris) Ori (English teacher, '06); Mr. Schoeph (English teacher, '95); the ladies in Student Services, Ms. Rowe and Ms. Shanahan; Kita (lunch lady); Mark Vruno (football coach); Mrs. Carraher (Spanish teacher, '96); Mrs. Megall (retired Spanish teacher); and Coach Heldmann (RIP). Lastly, thank you to my Mom and Dad for sending me to Fenwick. I am sure a left a few out … thank you all!

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Shines on Coach John Teerlinck, Friar Class of 1969
The former LaGrange Park resident and NFL 'sack tasker' is Fenwick's newest inductee into the Chicago Catholic League Coaches' Hall of Fame.
A defensive lineman, the 6'3″ 225-lb. Teerlinck (#77) was CCL All-Conference for the Friars in his senior season of 1968. "Playing for Fenwick was a big deal," he says.
Fenwick Fact: Highly acclaimed Defensive Line Coach John Teerlinck '69 is the only Friars' alumnus with three Super Bowl rings from the National Football League (NFL). Teerlinck knows how to creatively apply pressure — in a football context, that is.
Teaching elite athletes the proper techniques needed to effectively rush the passer is his specialty, and the coach excelled at the collegiate and highest professional level. Teerlinck has coached in 32 NFL playoff games, including six AFC Championship Games and four Super Bowls.
He is one of only 23 coaches to win a Super Bowl with more than one team: two back to back with the Denver Broncos (1997 and 1998) in the John Elway era and one with the Indianapolis Colts (2006) in the Peyton Manning era. ("Sorry, Bears fans," jokes Teerlinck, whose family moved when he was eight years old from upstate New York to suburban LaGrange Park, IL.)
In recognition of his sideline accomplishments, this evening the Chicago Catholic League (CCL) will induct Teerlinck, its native son, into the 2019 Coaches Association HALL OF FAME class. Many football observers refer to Coach "Link" as the GOAT: the greatest defensive line coach of all time. The "John Teerlinck Award" is given annually to the best defensive line coach in the NFL.
Teerlinck is being inducted into the CCL Coaches Association Hall of Fame on April 25, 2019.
"Coach Teerlinck has coached many former teammates of mine, and we have friends in common from throughout our professional careers," says Gene Nudo, Fenwick's present Head Coach, who was a coach and executive in the Arena Football League before joining the Friars in 2012. "It surprised me to learn that this great coach was an alum of Fenwick. He, like so many others, has done the 'Shield' proud with his many professional achievements," which is what led Nudo to nominate Teerlinck for the CCL HOF honor.
Without much offensive fire-power, the '68 season was a bit of a disappointment for the Friars and Teerlinck (#77).
When he played defensive line for Fenwick in the 1967 and '68 seasons, the Fighting Friars' varsity went a combined 10-5. After a 7-2 junior campaign, a 3-5 record as a senior was disappointing. The defensive unit gave up a respectable 15.5 points per game (ppg) in the autumn of 1968. However, an anemic offense could muster only nine touchdowns all year for a paltry average of 7.25 ppg. Teerlinck was an All-Conference selection and went on to become an All-American for the Western Illinois University (Macomb, IL) Leathernecks. "We used to get New York Giants games at Western and I'd watch No. 89, Fred Dryer, and copy his moves," Teerlinck told Chicago Tribune writer Don Pierson in a 1992 article.
When he wasn't playing football in college, Teerlinck was studying the moves of New York Giants' 6'6" 240-lb. DE Fred Dryer on TV.
A member of Western Illinois University's Hall of Fame (inducted in 2000), Teerlinck was a team co-captain and defensive MVP as a senior in 1973. He was the first WIU player ever to record four sacks in a single game and still remains one of only four Leathernecks to ever accomplish that feat.
Teaching the Art of the Sack
In 1974 he was drafted by the San Diego Chargers (fifth round, 101st overall pick) and started as a rookie. Teerlinck played four seasons, on the other side of ball from an offense led by future Pro Hall of Fame QB Dan Fouts, until a severe knee injury led to his early retirement as a player. "When I played for the Chargers, I'd get updates on Fenwick and Chicago three to four times a year from referee Jerry Markbreit, who coached in the Catholic League," Teerlinck said. (Markbreit is a fellow CCL Hall of Famer.)
50 years ago: John Teerlinck's 1969 yearbook photo from Fenwick.
Some of football's best quarterbacks feared many of the defensive linemen who trained under Teerlinck's tutelage during nearly four decades spent coaching college and pro football. With four pro teams – the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, Broncos and Colts — his players either set the record or came in second in total sacks.
Coach Teerlinck, who now is retired and recently celebrated his 68th birthday, stands 6'5" but many of his star speed rushers over the years were not quite as tall (see below). He coached 31 Pro Bowl (All-Star) players, including four defensive MVPs:
Michael Dean Perry, AFC Defensive Player of the Year ('89), Cleveland Browns. Out of Clemson, the Fridge's younger, "little" brother, who is 6'1" and weighed 285 pounds, tallied 61 career sacks.
Doleman
Chris Doleman, NFC Defensive POY ('92), Minnesota Vikings. At 6'5" 290 lbs., he was a tall one. Doleman played collegiately at Pittsburgh, then registered 150.5 sacks during his NFL career.
John Randle, Minnesota Vikings; NFL sack leader in '97; 137.5 career sacks. Randle stood only 6'1" and struggled to get his weight up to 275 lbs. College(s): Trinity Valley Community College and Texas A&M University – Kingsville (Div. II).
Freeney
Dwight Freeney, Indianapolis Colts; 125.5 career sacks and a "patented" spin move. At 6'1" 270 lbs., he sprinted 120 feet in 4.48 seconds at the NFL Combine in 2002. The freakish athlete also could leap up to 40 inches vertically. College: Syracuse. (Freeney was a four-sport athlete in high school, playing football, basketball, baseball and soccer!)
During his tenure, Teerlinck coached seven players (Bubba Baker, Doleman, Freeney, Kevin Greene, Robert Mathis, Randle and Neil Smith) to reach 100 career sacks: the ultimate benchmark for a defensive lineman. Both Doleman and Randle have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (HOF). Teerlinck became only the ninth assistant coach selected to present a player at a HOF induction when he presented Randle in 2010.
Motivational Coach
"Wax on, wax off, Daniel -san."
His players remember their coach as an unconventional teacher who believed in their abilities and who also helped to motivate them to reach their potential. "John Teerlinck is kind of like Mr. Miyagi [the character in the 'Karate Kid' movies]," John Randle has said. "He's very unorthodox: a different breed; rough around the edges. He tells you things that are funny, but they register if you just listen. That's why he's the guru."
The player and coach at Randle's Pro Football HOF enshrinement nine years ago.
Here's how Randle began his HOF acceptance speech in 2010: "First of all, I want to thank John Teerlinck for presenting me, motivating me, focusing me on the game that I love. I also want to say, John, thank you for saying I could excel and play in the National Football League, even though I wasn't drafted, didn't play for a major school. Also thank you for showing me what sometimes I didn't see in myself."
VIDEO: Coach Teerlinck shares his memories of DL John Randle.
A Proud Friar
Before coaching in college and the pros, however, Teerlinck was just proud to be a Fenwick Friar. "Going to Fenwick was a big deal," he recalled last week from his home in Indiana. Literally thousands of boys would take the admissions test in those days, he said. "Only three of nine [boys] from my school got in," remembers the straight-A student from St. Louise de Marillac. "About 150 guys would try out for football in those days." Youthful John is pictured among the 47 new Friars in his freshman Blackfriars yearbook (1965-66) photograph. (The team finished 3-2-1.)

With two buzzworthy videos under the belt, it's no wonder why people are paying attention to Harlem's own ASAP Rocky. One thing that has gone under the radar, however, are his chopped & screwed remixes, which got some Houston love recently when OG Ron C chopped up and slopped up "Purple Swag."
This Slim K version of "Peso" was a fan favorite when the "Purple Swag" video was released, and most people didn't realize it was a completely different song. Listen to the full chopped & screwed version below.

Qualcomm has scored a legal victory in its patent infringement lawsuit with Broadcom. A federal court has temporarily lifted a ban that bared the import of 3G phones using Qualcomm's chips.
The International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled months ago that Qualcomm chips infringe on Broadcom patent, and issued a cease and desist order preventing devices using the chips from being imported.
Now however, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted a stay while Qualcomm appeals the ITC's ruling. This will allow third parties to import phones into the United States originally banned by ITC.
The decision from the Court of Appeals comes at the request of a group of phone manufacturers and carriers, and applies only to them.
This group consists of Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Sanyo Fisher. The only wireless carriers are AT&T and T-Mobile, but the others can release models made by any of the manufacturers in the group.
What this means is that wireless carriers will be allowed to launch new smartphones for the upcoming holiday shopping season without worrying about whether these use Qualcomm chips.
Carriers had been allowed to continue importing products that were already being offered before the ban went into place, but they were barred from introducing new models with Qualcomm chips.
"We are pleased that the Court of Appeals recognized the undeserved harm to parties who were not named in the lawsuit, and that our customers will continue to be able to introduce new products into the U.S. marketplace during the appeals process," said Alex H. Rogers, senior vice president and legal counsel, Qualcomm.

17/06/2019 - A320 Component Support: Lanmei Airlines Opts for AFI KLM E&M
The Cambodian start-up can now count upon the reliability of AFI KLM E&M's services to ensure maintenance and operational continuity for its fleet of A320s.
Paris, Amstelveen, Le Bourget, 17 June 2019 - Looking for an experienced MRO partner on the market, this new Cambodia-based airline has selected AFI KLM E&M to provide support services for its ten A320s. The contract covers a wide range of components, as it also extends to aerostructure and Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) for the V2500 and CFM engines these aircraft are equipped with. The services provided will include repairs, pool access, provision of a Main Base Kit (MBK) and AOG support in the Asia-Pacific region.
The CEO of Lanmei Airlines, Dr. Li Kun, was in attendance at the Paris Air Show to make the contract official - as he explained: "AFI KLM E&M possesses impressive operational capacities, sustained via its vast repair and logistics network around the world. For this reason, the MRO has already been able to win over some big clients in the Asia-Pacific region. By entrusting them with our fleet of A320s, we know that we've chosen a quality service provider - their service package is perfectly adapted to our economic and operational requirements."
Thirty years of experience in A320 support services
AFI KLM E&M's ability to provide local support for Lanmei Airlines via an MBK located in Phnom Penh, as well as regionally through its pool in Singapore and globally through its European bases, constitutes a major asset that was a significant factor in the airline's decision. The company can now ensure operational continuity thanks to AFI KLM E&M's global MRO network.
Fabrice Defrance, Senior Vice President Commercial AFI KLM E&M, stated: "We've been developing maintenance services for this type of aircraft since 1988, and our internal capacity currently covers 85% of components in the A320 family. We're capable of offering solutions adapted to the needs of each of our individual partners. We're proud to put this experience to work in supporting the growth of Lanmei Airlines. This new contract with the Cambodian start-up will strengthen our position and the quality of our A320 services in Asia."
About Lanmei Airlines

As an employer, you will need to open a Payroll Deductions account. To do this you must have a business number (BN). If you don't already have a business number, you will need to get one from the CRA. You can get do this in one of three ways:
Register for a BN online.
Fill out Form RC1, Request for a business number, and mail or fax it to your nearest tax service office (TSO) or tax center (TC).
Contact the CRA directly by phone at 1-800-959-5525 during business hours.
If you are registering for a business number, you can request a payroll program account at the same time. If you already have a business number, you are just adding a new account to your existing ones. (Note that you can manage all your business accounts, including payroll, using the CRA's My Business Account online portal.)
You can add a payroll account using one of the following methods:
Use your My Business Account.
Fill out form RC1, Part C, and mail or fax it to your nearest TSO or TC.
Call the CRA at 1-800-959-5525 and ask for a payroll program account.
Note that a business can have more than one payroll program account. If you have different offices in different cities, for example, you might also have separate payroll accounts for each office.
The Hiring Process in Canada
Once you've registered for your payroll account, and you've gone through the steps of creating or refining job descriptions, advertising the job positions, and interviewing prospective candidates, you're ready to make your hires. Let's look at the steps you'll need to take to ensure you've covered all your legal bases before those new hires start work.
Have the Employee Accept and Sign the Job Offer
The government doesn't require this, but it's an excellent idea to have the terms of work in writing. It clarifies details such as the job duties, work hours, benefits, salary, probationary period (if there is one), and avoids future misunderstandings. Of course, when hiring employees, your job offer has to meet the employment standards of your province or territory.
Federal Labour Standards
Alberta Employment Standards
BC Employment Standards
Manitoba Employment Standards
Ontario Employment Standards
Nova Scotia Employment Standards
Newfoundland and Labrador Labour Standards
Examine the Employee's Social Insurance Number
The Social Insurance Number (SIN) is used to administer government benefits. As an employer, you need to view every new employee's SIN card within three days of the employee starting work and record the employee's name and SIN exactly as they appear on the card.
Watch for SINs that begin with the numeral "9." A SIN starting with this number signals a person who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and who is authorized to work only for a particular employer and time period under a valid employment authorization issued by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
If a prospective new employee is eligible to work in Canada and does not have a SIN, direct them to apply for one at a Service Canada Office.
Have the Employee Fill out Required Forms
Form TD1, Personal Tax Credits Return, determines how much tax is to be deducted from a person's employment income. A new employee has to complete the federal TD1 and the provincial TD1 if more than the basic personal amount is claimed.
In Quebec, employees need to use the federal TD1 and provincial Form TP1015.3-V, Source Deductions Return. See Filing Form TD1 for more details on who has to complete this form and which form they can or should use.
Make sure to review information on payroll deductions including income tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance, and taxable benefits.
Communicate Starting Time and Info to Your Employee
Is the new employee's day going to start with a meeting with a supervisor or a tour of the facility? Is there any special equipment they have to bring or a dress code to which they need to adhere? Is there a new employee orientation session or in-house mentoring? Filling the new employee in on whatever details pertain to their first day on the job will relieve their anxiety and get you both off to a good start.
Start a File for the New Employee
It's a good idea to start an employee file right when your new hire starts. As an employer, you're going to collect employee records, such as timesheets and performance evaluations, and manage forms related to running payroll, such as T4 slips. Getting your employee records off to an organized start will save time later.

Enno Cirksena (auch: Enno Edzardisna gen. Attena und Syardsna) (* um 1380; † um 1450) war Häuptling von Norden, Greetsiel, Berum und Pilsum. Er war der Sohn des Häuptlings Edzard (II.) von Appingen-Greetsiel und seiner Ehefrau Doda tom Brok. Enno sowie  seine Söhne Edzard und Ulrich Enno widersetzten sich ab 1430 im Freiheitsbund der Sieben Ostfrieslande dem Häuptling Focko Ukena. Damit gilt Enno als Wegbereiter des Herrschaftsanspruchs des Hauses Cirksena über ganz Ostfriesland, den schließlich sein Sohn Ulrich mit der Erlangung der Reichsgrafschaft 1464 auch formell verliehen bekam.

Ennos erste Gemahlin ist urkundlich nicht belegt. In zweiter Ehe heiratete er Gela Syardsna von Manslagt († 1455), eine Tochter des mächtigen Häuptlings Affo Beninga von Pilsum. Nachdem Gelas einziger Sohn aus erster Ehe, der Häuptling Liudward Cirksena ("Syrtza") zu Berum Mitte der 30er Jahre des 15. Jahrhunderts ohne Nachkommen verstorben war, waren Gela und deren Nichte Frauwa Cirksena ("Sirtzena") die alleinigen Erben der Cirksena von Berum. Enno nutzte die Gelegenheit und verheiratete seinen Sohn aus erster Ehe, Edzard, daraufhin mit Frauwa. Und er tat ein weiteres: Er und Edzard nahmen den Familiennamen und das Wappen ihrer Ehefrauen an, um die Erbfolge zu betonen.

Aus der ersten Ehe gingen ein Sohn und eine Tochter hervor:
 Edzard († 1441 an der Pest), 1. Ehe mit Moeder Ennosna († 1438); 2. Ehe mit Frouwe (Sydzena) von Berum
 Doda (* um 1408; † 1478), verheiratet mit Redward von Westerhusen

Aus der zweiten Ehe entstammen die Kinder
 Ulrich I., 1. Ehe mit Foelke von Esens († 1452); 2. Ehe 1455 mit Theda Ukena, der Tochter von Uko von Oldersum
 Tiadeke (* 1438; † nach 1470)
 Adda († ca. 1470), verheiratet mit Lütet Manninga von Lütetsburg († 1450)
 Frouwa, 1. Ehe mit Sibet von Dornum († 1433); 2. Ehe mit Eppo Gockinga von Zuidbroek († nach 1444)

Q: Does a container class deal with errors or just raise them? I am working on creating a pseudo-Vector class in Python and I'm wondering if I should be error checking and if so to what extent.
For example, when someone does the following:
vec = Vector(1,2,3,4)
# vec is now [1,2,3,4]
vec[100] = 12

What should happen with the IndexError that is generated by my __setitem__? Should my __setitem__ contain:
if index < 0 or index >= len(self.vector):
    raise IndexError("Index out of bounds")

Or should it be
try:
    if index < 0 or index >= len(self.vector):
        raise IndexError("Index out of bounds")
except IndexError as e:
    print(str(e))

Is it generally the case that the user of a container class will handle errors, or should the container itself know to handle errors?

A: If your container would silence errors (by handling them) you'd never find problems with code using your Vector incorrectly.
In other words, only handle the exception in the Vector class if assigning to indices out of bounds is correct behaviour, and part of the intended design of your container.
For the vast majority of use cases, your class should not handle the IndexError; trying to assign to an index out of bounds is a not valid use case.

A: I think there are two scenarios to consider when your custom class wraps some other class (like a custom container class built on top of a list).

*

*The wrapped class and the wrapper both have the same expectations for valid inputs, and should raise the same exceptions on invalid ones. In this situation, you don't need to handle the exception, since the one that the inner, wrapped class will raise is appropriate. The only possible reason you might want to handle such an exception is to hide the internal workings of your class (in which case you might want to raise SomeException from None in an exception handler to hide the inner details).

*The wrapper should behave differently than the wrapped class. In this case you may need to either inspect and/or modify the the inputs ahead of time, or catch and suppress exceptions raised by the wrapped code. For example, lists allow negative indexes, if you don't want your container to do so, you will need to check that indexes passed in are not negative (and raise an IndexError if they are). Or alternatively, if you want to allow out of bounds indexes to wrap around without limitation (so that any index i is treated as i % len(self.vector)), you could use try/except statements to catch IndexErrors raised by the inner list and retry with a modified index (though come to think of it, you probably would just modify the index unconditionally).
So, I don't think there is a single right answer. The details depend on how the behavior of your collection is supposed to work and how that differs from the list you are wrapping.

Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change
26/02/2013 - 19:00 | Noticias, ScienceDaily
The study, published today in Nature Climate Change, showed that reaching the 3 energy-related objectives proposed by the United Nations in their Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative, launched in 2011, would reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and, in combination with other measures, could help keep global temperature rise from exceeding the internationally agreed target level of 2°C.
«Achievement of the 3 objectives would provide an important entry point into stringent climate protection,» says Joeri Rogelj, ETH Zurich researcher and IIASA-affiliated scientist, who led the study. The study found that the short-term objectives, which aim for 2030, would help achieve long-term climate targets. However, to ensure achievement of stringent climate objectives, SE4ALL would need to be complemented by other measures, the researchers say.
The SE4All objectives include providing universal access to modern energy, doubling the share of renewable energy globally, and doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency — all by 2030. While the SE4All objectives do not explicitly address climate change, it is clear that sustainable energy is a prerequisite for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: 80% of human carbon dioxide emissions come from the global energy system, including transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity, heat, and fuel production.
«Doing energy right will promote the Millennium Development Goals, such as poverty eradication and social empowerment, and at the same time kick-start the transition to a lower-carbon economy,» says IIASA researcher David McCollum, who also worked on the study. «But the UN's objectives must be complemented by a global agreement on controlling greenhouse gas emissions.»
While the UN energy objectives are formulated as global goals, the researchers also note that regional and national actions will be vital to achieving them. IIASA Energy program leader Keywan Riahi and study co-author says, «The next step for this initiative is already underway, with a large number of national plans that underpin the global objectives.»
The researchers carried out an analysis to determine how likely we would be to limit climate warming to target levels if each or all of the SE4All objectives were achieved. Using a broad range of scenarios, the researchers found that if all the objectives were met, the likelihood of keeping temperature rise below 2°C would be more than 66%. If only the renewable energy goal is met, chances of keeping temperatures below 2°C would range from 40 to 90%, while achieving just the energy efficiency goal would improve the chances to between 60 and 90%. But the researchers warn that the latter result depends strongly on what economic growth is assumed in the future. The researchers note that the likelihood of reaching climate targets within the scenarios depended on a variety of other factors, including future energy demand growth, economic growth, and technological innovation.
The study also found that providing universal energy access by 2030 will not hinder long-term climate goals, thanks to the marked gains in energy efficiency that will result. «Sustainable development and poverty eradication can go hand in hand with mitigating climate risks,» says Rogelj.
The new work also quantified the potential costs for reaching the SE4All objectives, which would amount to increasing energy investments between 0.1 and 0.7% of global GDP. The authors' estimates account for the substantial savings in energy use and reduced fossil energy investments that would come about through the promotion of more sustainable energy technologies and lifestyles.
