Pettine on Whitner's reception by Bills fans
Posted by Chris Brown on August 17, 2015 – 3:43 pm
Former Bills first-round pick Donte Whitner, whose twitter battling, which has included knocks on his former team and the city of Buffalo was not well received on the St. John Fisher campus by Bills fans. Whitner was met with a good deal of booing by fans in attendance. Even Browns head coach Mike Pettine understood the reception.
"That's his history here. I wasn't here when he was here before. I wasn't part of him leaving," said Pettine. "I do know this: Bills fans are very passionate, very protective of their Bills, very protective of their city, as they should be. I feel it's very similar fan bases, Cleveland and Buffalo."
Whitner largely ignored the boos directed at him Monday.

Report: Moats reps talking with Browns
Posted by Chris Brown on March 11, 2014 – 12:00 pm
NFL Network is reporting that Bills FA LB Arthur Moats has had talks with the Cleveland Browns.
The news isn't surprising knowing Browns head coach Mike Pettine is looking for as many players as possible that know his defensive system walking in the door. The report indicated that they've made significant progress on a potential deal.
Cleveland is also reportedly negotiating with 49ers FA safety Donte Whitner, a Cleveland native.

Whitner on Bills running backs
Posted by Chris Brown on October 4, 2012 – 5:44 pm
Donte Whitner may not have known just what he called Fred Jackson when he used the term, but it certainly wasn't complementary. And he seems to think that C.J. Spiller is not an inside runner.
Here was Whitner's description of Jackson as a back, which was inaccurate and a bit insulting.
"Fred Jackson he's a guy that played in every football league imaginable," said Whitner. "Arena football, Canadian football, any type of football he played. He's a journeyman type guy. He's a guy that came in and was on the practice squad, played a little bit, started, started making plays and he's arguably one of the best players on their offense."
So while in one breath he complements Jackson as being one of the team's best offensive players, calling him a journeyman is an insult and he did not play in the CFL.
Whitner's comment concerning C.J. Spiller however, is unmistakable.
"C.J. Spiller he's a speed guy," said Whitner. "He doesn't really want to go between the tackles and the middle of a defense. He wants to bounce outside and use his speed."
Spiller has a team-leading 41 carries this season and Buffalo has run the ball up the middle more than in any other direction this season (37 plays) and they've gained 7.19 yards per carry up the middle, which ranks second in the NFL. Hopefully Spiller has an opportunity to run it up the gut and meet Whitner one-on-one in the secondary.
More on Whitner's comments tonight on the John Murphy Show from 7-9 pm on WGR Sportsradio 550.

Whitner's short term memory
Former Bills first-round pick and current San Francisco safety Donte Whitner was asked about some of his former teammates on offense as the 49ers media felt he would have a good handle on them having practiced against them on a daily basis. Apparently Whitner forgets a lot real quick.
When asked about Stevie Johnson as a receiver Whitner said Buffalo's top wideout began his Bills career on the practice squad, which is completely inaccurate.
"He's a guy that was there when I was there. He's a guy that rose up through the practice squad and worked his way into the player he is today," said Whitner. "He's going to be a guy where we have to know where he is each and every play."
So while he credits Johnson for what he has become as a player he seems to forget how the receiver rose up the depth chart on the 53-man roster.

Whitner feels George "got robbed"
Pro Bowl snubs are a popular topic this time of year and there are cases to be made for more than just a handful of players on Buffalo's roster. But the opinion of an NFL player that plays the same position feeling a Bills player got robbed for Pro Bowl recognition carries a bit more weight.
Former Bills safety Donte Whitner felt that George Wilson was snubbed for AFC Pro Bowl honors at the strong safety position.
DonteWhitner I also wanna say that I feel for my brothers in Buffalo..I kno they have the heart and resolve to have a great season next yr..GW got robbed
Whitner, who routinely watches tape from around the league and not just that of his own team has an opinion that is far from unfounded. Leading the team in interceptions (4) and total takeaways (5) while also standing third on the team in tackles (94) Wilson has been a stalwart on the defensive side of the ball for the Bills.

The eye-opening Wilson stat
We had it in our front page story on George Wilson's emergence in his first full year as the team's starting strong safety, but it bears repeating here.
Wilson's production in fewer than half the starts of his predecessor Donte Whitner has already outperformed him in several big play categories. Most notably interceptions.
In 31 career starts Wilson has 11 INTs. That's almost double the interceptions that Whitner has (6) in his 70 career starts.

Whitner, Byrd stand out
Posted by Chris Brown on May 18, 2011 – 11:03 am
In the 2010 season Donte Whitner and Jairus Byrd were among the surest tacklers at the safety position in the NFL.
That according to the stat gurus at Pro Football Focus, who calculated the ratio of missed tackles to attempts for every safety that set foot on the field last season. Whitner finished seventh in the league with just five missed tackles, which gave him a ratio of one miss per 27.2 attempts. Only one full-time starting safety was ahead of him on the list (Denver's Renaldo Hill).
Jairus Byrd was right behind Whitner at eighth overall. He had just three missed tackles, but factoring that against a lower number of tackle attempts his ratio was slightly lower than Whitner's at one miss for every 26.67 attempts.

Hall of Fame selection weekend. Best of luck to Andre Reed. Now to your questions from AskChris@bills.nfl.net.
1 – Chris,
it seems that going to an 18-game schedule is a foregone conclusion, unfortunately. But I haven't seen anywhere where those two extra games will come from.
In the Bills' case, would it be two extra games against NFC teams, or two non-divisional AFC opponents? I'm assuming we wouldn't play a third game against two divisional rivals, but I guess I shouldn't rule that out. Has the NFL announced how it would work?
Thanks, and Go Bills!
Tom in Austin
CB: I don't know if I'd call an 18-game regular season schedule a lock, despite what Bill Polian has gone on record saying regarding it being a "done deal." To my knowledge determining the two extra opponents for each of the 32 teams would also prove to be no easy task for a couple of reasons. Two added games would obviously not be enough to play your division opponents a third time through.
My guess is they'd take a similar approach to what they do now with the last two games in which you play the teams in the two intra-conference divisions that you don't face in the rotational schedule format that finished in the same place as you did the previous season.
So much like the Bills will face the last place finishers in the AFC South (Tennessee) and AFC North (Cincinnati), I would think the league would have teams square off against interconference division teams that also finished in the same place in their division.
For example, for Buffalo they play the NFC East next season, so to add two more regular season games my guess is they would add a pair of NFC opponents from two of the other three NFC divisions that also finished in last place in 2010 (Arizona, Carolina, Minnesota).
Even by adding two more interconference opponents, 12 of their 18 games would still be against the AFC (two-thirds).
I have read that if the 18-game schedule goes through in a new CBA that it would not take effect until the 2012 season.
2 – Hi Chris,
My question is why do you think the Bills had such a hard time rushing this season? I know Fred did pretty good for not starting the season, but there were a lot of games that the average up the middle runs went for one or two yards. Fred had a monster season the year before and the line hadn't changed that dramatically. Ironically their pass protection improved greatly, but I was under the impression run blocking was easier and more enjoyable for an offensive line.
CB: Believe it or not the Bills rushing offense was not that bad up the middle as they averaged just over four yards per carry on 153 rushes (4.03 yards). As a team their average yards per carry ranked a respectable 13th in the league (4.3).
Blocking on the edges is where things proved difficult, though the averages wouldn't suggest it. Part of that problem was due to Demetrius Bell's compromised state of readiness for the season coming off of major offseason knee surgery. He also told me personally that one area of his game that needs the most improvement is his run blocking. Also the state of flux at right tackle throughout the season with a handful of players starting there in 2010.
The main reason the pass protection was better was due mainly to Fitzpatrick's ability to get the ball out quickly or adjust the protection to fit the blitz or rush scheme coming at him. Chan Gailey's play calling also helped. You likely saw the difference when Fitz was not in the lineup in the season finale.
I have a couple predictions for the Bills offseason moves. I see them letting Donte Whitner and Drayton Florence go if reasonable deals can't get done. For that reason, I see Patrick Peterson being our pick at #3. I hope Buffalo goes after front 7 help, buy if Fairley is off the board, I think Peterson is the next best talent. (also, Buffalo has history of neglecting front seven help with their top pick)
I also felt the Bills were strong contenders to draft Tim Tebow last year. Now that Denver has had changes in the front office and their coaching staff, how likely do u see Tebow being traded to Buffalo??
I get the impression Brohm/Brown aren't the long term fix. It makes sense to me (assuming Elway and Fox aren't sold on Tebow). Any thoughts?
Jim Eimer
CB: If Whitner and Florence are not in the fold come draft weekend, I think Peterson is a distinct possibility. With Terrence McGee 30-years old and Leodis McKelvin still trying to find consistency with his game and Ashton Youboty also a free agent it's not unrealistic to see that happen. I do believe that Denver with the 2nd pick is also going to take a long look at Peterson themselves with Champ Bailey not expected back in 2011.
Even though there is talk straight from Team President John Elway that Kyle Orton could still start next year at QB for the Broncos, I do not see Denver moving Tim Tebow, so to me he's not an option.
GM Buddy Nix mentioned at the Senior Bowl that they do intend to add a quarterback, but I'm not certain it will be in the draft. If there is some kind of free agent period prior to the draft because a new labor agreement is in place, then I think Miami free agent Tyler Thigpen is a possibility knowing his history with Chan Gailey in Kansas City.
I believe the Bills would prefer to go with a signal caller with some NFL experience rather than another young player knowing they already have that in Levi Brown.
1. I heard that the Ravens DL Haloti Ngata, who was the guy the Bills should have picked when Levy took Donte Whitner in the 1st round, that he is a free agent this year. Do you think that the Bills could sign him? If so, that and if Buffalo could draft Nick Fairley this year, and with a healthy Lights Out Merriman playing LB, would improve the Bills defense 100%. They would get well in a hurry.
2. If the Bills cant pick Fairley or Bowers with the 3rd pick in this years draft, what do you think they should do? Draft A J Green? Trade down and try to get extra picks? Or draft the best QB or offensive lineman available?
3. C J Spiller was a disappointment this year. Both as a runner and as a kick returner. Made too many fair catches. It looks like the Bills made the wrong pick in the 1st round once again. Do you think Spiller could be a wide receiver? He seems to have good hands and speed.
CB: Ngata is expected to be given the franchise tag by the Ravens between Feb. 10th and the 24th when it can be used, so he won't be available, unless the NFLPA's argument that the tags can't be used are upheld. Even if they can't use the tags we've heard Buddy Nix say that going after high-priced free agents in not part of their plan to build this team back into a contender.
I'm not anticipating Nick Fairley to be available either. I think he'll go first or second to Carolina or Denver. If he is there at three I'd take him in a second.
I'm not crazy about Bowers for Buffalo's defense, but if he and Fairley are both gone, I'd entertain Patrick Peterson as a pick. There's talk he could be the next Charles Woodson and Woodson went fourth overall. I'd also be inclined to take DL Marcel Dareus there too. There are no offensive linemen worthy of the number three pick and in my opinion I don't believe there's a QB worthy either.
As for C.J. I think you're giving up on him way too early. Take a look at Jamaal Charles' numbers his first NFL season. They're very similar to C.J.'s and they have a similar skill set. Charles was second in the league in rushing this season, his third in the NFL. I think in due time Spiller will be the impact player the Bills believe he can be.
With the number of guard possibilities that we now have, has there been any thought to trying Andy Levitre at RT. He played some tackle in college.
CB: While I don't dismiss Andy's ability to kick out to tackle in a pinch, I believe the Bills feel they have at least a short term solution at right tackle in Erik Pears, who was signed late in the season. Pears is a former two-year starter for the Denver Broncos and showed well in the time he got down the stretch in 2010. In my mind he's the odds on favorite to start at right tackle in 2011, not only because of his steady play, but because he adds a valuable veteran presence to the line.

Posted by Chris Brown on January 21, 2011 – 12:28 pm
Be sure to check out our coverage from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama beginning on Tuesday next week. For now we answer your questions from AskChris@bills.nfl.net.
There appears to be some very strong "Slash" type quarterbacks in the draft (Newton, Pryor, the VT QB). Given Coach Gailey's success with "Slash" at Pittsburgh and Cam Newton's talents what do you think about that as a QB direction for the Bills. I know they like Fitz (so do I) but as a trend, maybe a "Slash" QB can create mismatches that seem to propel teams.
Gobills!
CB: There are some multi-faceted prospects in the draft, although Terrelle Pryor is returning to Ohio State for his senior season. Newton is the best of that bunch. Personally I'm not sure if Tyrod Taylor (the VT QB) has the measurables to be a full-time QB.
He's super athletic so he might be better fit as a Brad Smith or Josh Cribbs type that plays some wideout and returns kicks and dabbles at QB.
The guy I really want to look at closely is Nevada's Colin Kaepernick. He's the only QB in college history besides Tebow and Newton to rush for 20 TDs and pass for 20 TDs in the same season. He also orchestrated the huge upset win over Boise St. this year to ruin the Broncos perfect season. I think he'd be a realistic option for the Bills in the third round if he's still on the board.
2 – Hey Chris,
Joe in Charlotte but long time Bills fan, Your opinion of Andy Dalton, possible 2nd or 3rd rd for the Bills?, I think he would really benefit from a year or 2 learning from Fitz. Has measureables, great attitude, and is a winner. Realize he comes from spread system but feel he is very adaptable. Your thoughts.
CB: He's another QB I'm interested in getting a better look at during the practices at the Senior Bowl next week. TCU had a great season and though their defense gets most of the press, Dalton put a nice season together running that attack. I think 3rd round is realistic, but as I stated above Kaepernick is intriguing as well.
Just wondering if you think the Bills might sign Vince Young to maybe be a backup? He's a veteran and he could do some damage with Gailey. Also, Fitzpatrick could be trade-worthy and the Bills could draft a QB.
Tommy of Pittsford
CB: I don't see that happening. Someone will take a chance on him, but seeing as how he undermined his head coach in Tennessee, I can't see too many head coaches being in favor of bringing him on board even in a backup role.
If Donte does not return, what are our options at Safety? Can we get a difference maker through Free Agency or Draft? Who are the big names out there? Secondly, what will become of all the WR's we have, can we possibly keep all of them?
CB: First and foremost Bryan Scott is still under contract. Second, George Wilson, who is also a free agent could conceivably be had for far less money than what Donte Whitner is asking for at this point. Philadelphia S Quintin Mikell is set to become a free agent. He's a bit older than Donte (30), but is a capable safety. Not necessarily a difference maker, but Buffalo needs difference makers in their front seven and they in turn will make the men on the back end better playmakers.
In 2008 the Bills played the AFC West. They Oakland at home and KC on the road. Please tell me why the Bills are playing Oakland home again and KC on the road again (4th straight year) in 2011? Shouldn't that be reversed?
Grosse Ile, MI
CB: Under the guidelines of the normal rotational schedule it would be, but the league put in a scheduling stipulation that when another division plays the AFC West they would not play both west coast teams in the AFC West (San Diego and Oakland) on the road in the same season.
So although the Bills were slated to play San Diego and Oakland on the road in 2011, this stipulation switched the location of their matchups with Oakland and Kansas City. Thus the Bills will play Kansas City on the road again and Oakland at home.

Whitner's exit
Posted by Chris Brown on January 3, 2011 – 4:01 pm
Bills free agent safety to be Donte Whitner was nowhere to be found during locker clean out at One Bills Drive Monday. The former first-round pick looked to be long gone with his locker completely bare including his name plate at the top, which was disappointing to see as far as his head coach was concerned.
"Tenuous would be a word you could use there," said Chan Gailey when asked about Whitner's future with the organization. "I didn't realize that until I was told that a few minutes ago that that had happened. He's a really good player. You'd love to have him on your football team, but we're in a business where that doesn't happen every time. We'll wait and see what happens."
When asked Whitner's apparent intentions to exit quickly Gailey said the following.
"You don't what kind of advice these guys get," he said.
Here was Whitner's bare locker late this morning. It's the one on the left.

Whitner emotional
Posted by Chris Brown on January 2, 2011 – 10:50 pm
Bills SS Donte Whitner was emotional after the season finale Sunday. The loss was bad enough, but the uncertainty of his playing future was already affecting him.
"It was really emotional even before we got to the stadium," said Whitner. "I love these guys in this locker room, and I love this staff. This is the only place I've ever been. I've spent more time with these guys than I have with my actual family, so it makes it tough. It all comes down to the emotional side of the game. We don't know where were going, but like I said, I would like to be back here. Now it is the off season, so we will see what happens."
Whitner is a player that is passionate about the game and wears his heart on his sleeve. It was evident to those that interviewed him after Sunday's season ending loss.

McGee, Whitner update
Posted by Chris Brown on December 9, 2010 – 3:33 pm
Both Terrence McGee and Donte Whitner were limited again Thursday, but did considerably more in practice.
"They had good practices today," said Gailey. "We'll still put them down as limited, but they had really good practices."
Gailey isn't ready to make any promises on McGee's status for Sunday, knowing the cornerback's nerve problem had a relapse once before. That's why he wouldn't fully commit to saying that McGee has turned a corner.
"This is after the second full day, then tomorrow will be the third day and then maybe so," said Gailey. "I'm encouraged for him. It's been so frustrating for him. I'm happy that he's going to get an opportunity to play because he's such a competitor. He wants to play. It's been killing him."

McGee, Whitner limited
On the Bills official injury report, Terrence McGee and Donte Whitner were both listed as limited.
Whitner has a knee injury, which was sustained in last Sunday's game. Head coach Chan Gailey had said on Monday that Whitner might miss some practice time this week, but should be fine for this week's game against Cleveland.
McGee is still touch and go.
Whitner on re-signing
Bills S Donte Whitner was asked by CBSSports.com about the possibility of him re-signing with the Bills. Here was some of what he said.
Whitner told CBSSports.com that he's "pretty confident" he will come to terms on a new deal with Buffalo. "They've expressed a lot of interest… and have been talking for some time."
Whitner's rookie contract is up after this season.

Fan Friday 11-19
Posted by Chris Brown on November 19, 2010 – 1:33 pm
Win No. 1 is in the books and the Bills have a very winnable game Sunday against a reeling Cincinnati squad. Getting mixed feedback from fans on winning right now as some want to lock up the top pick with the worst NFL record. I don't see that happening because Carolina is a far worse team and Buffalo has made strides the last month. They're playing better football. Now to your questions from the AskChris@bills.nfl.net file.
I know Ralph has said QB is the top priority this offseason and that really worries me that we will desperately take whoever is the best QB available at our pick in the draft,whether or not he is necessarily deserving of the pick. Personally I think Andrew Luck is the real deal and would take him first overall no question, but if he stays in school like he's said he will then we take a QB just to take one? I think Mallett is a little inconsistent and have had character questions and that Locker is far too inaccurate and raw to cut it in the NFL. I would say to take a tackle but it doesn't seem as though there's an elite tackle at this point. If we can't take Luck, do you think it would make more sense to take a defensive impact player such as Bowers from Clemson or Fairley from Auburn, maybe even Peterson on LSU, a tackle in the second and try to get Luck or someone like a Matt Barkley whenever they declare? Thanks.
CB: I think you can rest assured knowing that GM Buddy Nix is not going to desperately do anything. As I mentioned last week, we have to see which underclassmen declare in mid-January before we can really assess the landscape of what will be available to the Bills. At that point we'll also know where Buffalo will be picking in the draft order.
Know this, Buddy Nix worked primarily under John Butler during his first stint with the Bills. Butler worked under Bill Polian, who openly stated that the top two positions on a football team in terms of importance were QB and a pass rushing DE or OLB depending on your defensive system.
I've seen a lot of Fairley and that kid is impressive. He jumps off the TV screen. I haven't seen as much of Bowers, but of the tape I've watched it's evident he's a special talent. In fact, there's one part of his game that resembles Bruce Smith. Bowers can drop his inside shoulder and his inside hip and flatten himself out at almost a 45 degree angle and still maintain his pass rush speed to get to the quarterback.
There are very few pass rushers that can do that. Marcellus Wiley told me when he tried to do some of the things that Bruce could do he would fall down. I'm not saying Bowers is Bruce Smith, but I am saying that on the surface it appears he has some similar athletic traits in his game to that of the Hall of Famer.
Just know that Nix is not going to have his hand forced with their top pick. I think he proved that last spring when he took Spiller despite glaring needs at other positions. If the individual talent at a position of need doesn't fit their spot on the board he won't reach to fill it.
2 – Hey Chris ,
I'll make this quick – What do you think about Kellen Moore ?? All the kid does is win !!
Mr. T from Ft. Myers via Nashville
CB: Moore has shown the ability to perform in the clutch and you're right he is no question a winner. His greatest strength is his knowledge of the game. A son of a football coach, Moore is a football nerd. As a kid he used allowance money to buy college game tape off the internet.
Since he was a sophomore his college staff was so impressed with his knowledge and scouting of opponents that they would often incorporate plays he liked into the game plan. To my knowledge they still do this.
What's going to steer NFL GMs away from Moore are his physical limitations. He's a 6'0" 187-pound pocket passer. He's not all that mobile and his arm is adequate at best.
His football intelligence will get him drafted, but it will be hard for talent evaluators to overlook his physical deficiencies. I think he'll be a mid to late round pick (4th to 6th), but I wouldn't mind having him on my team as a backup. It should be noted that he is a junior, so he still has a year of college eligibility left.
He gets knocked for being a system quarterback, but I think he's more than that personally.
3 – Chris:
It starting to look like Alex Carrington is falling into the potential bust category. How is it that a young Defensive Lineman can't get on the field for this team that has major Defensive issues stopping the run and rushing the passer?
Joe Badaszewski
CB: I think you're way off the mark here on Carrington. First of all Carrington is playing a position where there are experienced veterans in front of him (Johnson, Stroud, Edwards). That combined with the fact that in a 3-4 you really only need five defensive linemen active for a game and you see the numbers game where Carrington gets caught.
So I think to even attribute bust in the same sentence as Carrington is misguided at best. When you have proven veterans in front of you on the depth chart, that's what is going to keep you off the field more than anything. It has less to do with his ability and more to do with the ability of the vets.
Couple of questions for you. First, regarding free Agency this off-season, what notable players on the Bills roster have contracts that are expiring? Specifically, where do players like Whitner and Poz stand (I think theirs may be up soon) and do you foresee them being offered new contracts, or do you think Nix/Gailey may be looking to move in a different direction once the season is over?
Paul in Toronto
CB: Here are the names according to my records. I believe I have most of them. Paul Posluszny, Donte Whitner, George Wilson, Ashton Youboty, Keith Ellison, Brian Brohm, Drayton Florence, Jonathan Stupar and Garrison Sanborn.
I would think that Poz is a top priority with Whitner and Florence other notable considerations. I think keeping a quality long snapper is also important so I anticipate Sanborn will be back.
All that being said, with the labor uncertainty there's no definition as to who is restricted or unrestricted based on accrued seasons before there is no CBA to go off of. A couple of these players are likely to be re-signed prior to a new CBA regardless of what the new rules become because the organization deems them important pieces for their future. But the absence of a CBA won't make the process any easier.
One question about the Bills has really been bugging me: a couple of years ago Leodis McKelvin was a fantastic kickoff returner for Buffalo. C J Spiller seems awful tentative on kick returns. Why does McKelvin not return kickoffs? Does Coach Gailey not know that McKelvin is an electric return man? Maybe you could ask him that the next time you interview him.
CB: It looks like you're going to get your wish Lee due to injury. Spiller is out Sunday against Cincinnati and McKelvin is slated to handle both kick and punt return. Personally I thought he was robbed last week on his 78-yard return on a very questionable holding call against Jon Corto. I thought Corto had him locked up legally and was driving his man down the field.
I do like that McKelvin is getting this opportunity. I think the Bills staff was so eager to get Spiller on the field, and knowing he'd be worked in slowly on the offensive side, returns were a way to get him extra touches. They also wanted McKelvin to focus more on defense because his consistency series to series had been an issue. In my opinion he played his best game of the season against Detroit last week.

Hockey Legend Mike Richter Has Hand Autographed This 1994 Cup Over Head 16x20 photo - When the New York Rangers retired Mike Richters number on Feb. 4 2004 they not only preserved the memory of the greatest Rangers goalie in history but also honor the man who backstopped their unbelievable 1994 Stanley Cup Championship. Richter ended his 15-season career with the Rangers as the franchise leader in wins now passed by current Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist and appearances by a goaltender and the 1994 All-star Game MVP. His No. 35 Jersey is just the third Rangers number to be retired joining fellow Rangers greats Rod Gilbert and Eddie Giacomin in the rafters of Madison Square Garden.

Want to Work in Cyber Security?
A Growing Field
With reports of hacking threats and security breaches becoming increasingly more common, the need for cyber security experts in the job market is growing. In fact, this sector's job growth has been rapidly increasing with each passing year. As technology becomes more advanced, the need for skilled workers who understand how to keep people's identities, personal data, and online assets safe will only increase. As such, it's an excellent career path for those seeking job security.
The Degree
Landing a job in cyber security requires the right degree. Many schools have added new courses and programs devoted to these expanding careers; making the right choice in degree and program is a crucial first step in creating a cyber security career.
Some schools require either an associate degree or a certain number of credits earned at a 4-year university, while other provide the option to study in an online bachelor's program. While this might not work for some, online classes tend to allow students to work at a faster pace due to a more flexible schedule, so it is possible to graduate a year or two earlier in these programs than with the average bachelor's degree.
Graduate degrees in this field are also an option that can help candidates hone their skills and gain a competitive edge over other applicants with undergraduate degrees. Master's degrees can take anywhere from one to three years to complete, depending on the specialization. Like any other degree, those studying cyber security can choose a focus. Some of these specializations include: Network Forensics and Intrusion Investigations, Information Assurance, Cybercrime and Fraud Investigation, and Cyber Operations.
The Classes
While classes can differ by career-path goals, prospective students can expect plenty of overlap or similarities in coursework in many different cyber security programs. Some basic classes to expect in the first year of an undergraduate degree might include: Introduction to Computer Systems, Introduction to Operating Systems, Introduction to Programming, Statistics, Critical Reading and Expository Writing, and Introduction to Psychology.
Second- and third-year students will really begin to dig into the specifics of their program and chosen field. Common second-year classes include: Networks and Telecommunications, Introduction to Linux Systems, Programming with Python, Database Applications, Introduction to Cyber Security, Technical Writing, Project Management, and Economics. Third-year classes can include: Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity, Risk Management, Cryptography, Information Assurance, Artificial Intelligence, Systems Analysis and Design, Computer Architecture, Website Administration, Windows Operating Systems and Administration, and Ethics.
More advanced coursework, classes outside of a chosen major, and taking internships are all valuable ways to build up a student's skillset. Senior classes may include: Network Security, Operating Systems Security, Audit/Compliance, Ethical Hacking and Systems Defense, Computer Forensics, Advanced Network Management, Firewall and Perimeter Security, Policy Analysis and Implementation, and a Senior Project/Internship. Remember that employers love to see actual security experience on applications, so making room for an internship can help round out a resume and hone helpful skills. It would also be beneficial to take some classes that don't necessarily have anything to do with a chosen career path in order to develop a more well-rounded and diverse skillset.
Education Cost
Tuition and other expenses will obviously vary by school, location, and whether one takes classes online or on site. Online schools typically have cheaper tuition while popular four-year universities are expensive. Online degrees can cost somewhere around $15,000 whereas attending a four-year university can cost around $60,000, if not more.
Like any other career field, there are plenty of diverse positions (and accompanying salaries) available in the world of cyber security. A security director, for example, has a median annual salary of $116,245. By contrast, a base security analyst can expect a median salary of $65,261 a year.

There is also a video review of the recruiting dinners and you get to see some of the footage of Eric Morris getting his groove-on.
Roadtrip: 2013 Recruiting Reviews (via techathletics)
Preferred Walk-Ons: Texas Tech has received some good news with some news about preferred walk-ons that will be attending Texas Tech. Let's get to it.
WR/K Joseph Harvey (5-10/190/4.40) | Sherman (Sherman, TX) | Rivals, ESPN, 24/7 Sports | Harvey caught 1,019 yards with 50 catches and 10 touchdowns. He had 54 kickoffs and 40 touchbacks. I can't get a real good handle on his field goals. So Harvey is actually breaking records at Sherman, receiving records. Breaking records of TCU's Waymon James for total catches and touchdowns receiving. I'm pretty sure he passed that over the course of his senior year. I think the fake 40-yard dash time is legitimate. Maybe not that fast, but Harvey isn't slow by any means. The article linked also said that he broke a 24 year old record with a 54 yard field goal against Texas High and apparently that is what Harvey is going to do for Texas Tech, which is kick field goals.
OL Ryan Messer (6-4/280/5.10) | Nolan Catholic (Ft. Worth, TX) | Rivals, ESPN, Scout, YouTube | Not a bad player by any means. Has a good frame and had offers from the service academies. If his size is legitimate, he's got a good frame and he is tenacious. I always like that in offensive linemen. I'd also add that for his size to run that fast of a 40-yard dash time, as fake as it may be, is pretty good. He's a good looking athlete.
QB Baker Mayfield (6-1/215/4.65) | Lake Travis (Austin, TX) | Rivals, Scout, ESPN, 24/7 Sports, Hudl | So this is interesting. Mayfield is regarded as a 3-star player by every recruiting service and he put up really good numbers at Lake Travis. Last year, Mayfield completed 63% of his passes for 2,467 yards, 22 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, while rushing for 281 yards over the course of the year and 1 touchdown. That's not crazy-good, but pretty darned good. Mayfield had offers from Memphis, Florida Atlantic and Washington St. Mayfield has good size and watching his video, he's got good feet and presence. He keeps the ball high and he probably needs to work on his arm strength, but it's just fine.

The initial stage of treatment for periodontal disease is usually a thorough cleaning including scaling or root planing. The objective of this non-surgical procedure is to remove etiologic agents such as dental plaque and calculus (tartar) which cause gingival inflammation and periodontal disease. Scaling and root planing can be used as a stand-alone treatment or a preventative measure. It is commonly preformed in cases of gingivitis and moderate to severe periodontal disease.
Dr. Benedon will only perform scaling and root planing after a thorough periodontal examination and x-rays. Depending on the condition of the gums, the amount of tartar present, the depth of the pockets, and the progression of periodontitis, Dr. Benedon may recommend scaling and root planing. In most cases local anesthesia is used to enhance patient comfort.
When scaling is performed, calculus and plaque that has attached to the tooth surfaces is removed. The process especially targets the area below the gum line along the root. Scaling is performed with a special dental instruments and an ultrasonic scaling tool. The scaling tool usually includes an irrigation process that can be used to deliver an antimicrobial agent below the gums to help reduce oral bacteria.
Root planing is performed in order to remove rough cementum and surface dentin that is embedded with unwanted microorganisms, toxins and tartar. The root of the tooth is literally smoothed which promotes healing and also helps prevent bacteria from easily colonizing in the future.
Antibiotics or irrigation with anti-microbials (chemical agents or mouth rinses) may be recommended to help control the growth of bacteria that create toxins and cause periodontitis. In some cases, Dr. Benedon may place antibiotic (Arestin) directly into the periodontal pockets after scaling and planing. This may be done to control infection and to encourage normal healing.
In some cases where deep pockets exist between teeth and gums it may be impossible for Dr. Benedon to completely remove all the plaque and tartar. Patients are unable to keep these pockets clean and free of plaque. Consequently, surgery may be needed to restore periodontal health.
Through scaling and root planing may have significant periodontal benefits. It can not only help prevent disease, it can arrest the process and even reverse some of the detrimental effects. Research has proven that bacteria from periodontal infections can travel through the blood stream and affect other areas of the body, sometimes causing heart and respiratory diseases. Scaling and root planing remove bacteria that cause these conditions.
Another benefit of treatment is protecting against tooth loss. When gum pockets exceed 3mm in depth, the risk for periodontal disease increases. As pockets deepen, more bacteria are able to colonize these pockets and eventually cause a chronic inflammatory response by the body that destroys gingival and bone tissue. This leads to tooth loss.
Finally, scaling and root planing may make the mouth more aesthetically pleasing and should reduce bad breath caused from food particles and bacteria in the oral cavity. Superficial stains on the teeth will be removed during scaling and planing adding an extra bonus to the procedure.

A fourth-year student attending The University of Chicago was expelled after he sexually assaulted and verbally abused another female student. The student, a Sigma Chi fraternity member, was expelled on June 2nd, just a week before his expected graduation.
According to The Chicago Maroon, the university's Student Disciplinary Committee hardly ever expels students accused of sexual misconduct even when they are found guilty. Implications are that strong evidence exists in this case, but still, the expelled student denied the claims, appealing the decision.
Both of the students' names are unreleased.
After the relationship was over he started to show abusive tendencies. She said one night during the winter quarter, he assaulted her while she was drunk.
"I had gone to a party, had a lot to drink, and he took advantage of me. And after that, I was very much shaken up by it. It really affected me like nothing else in my life really had before. And then, it got worse because afterward, he was texting me, wanting to hang out again," she said.
Around the end of winter, she received a "no contact" directive after her meeting with the Deputy Title IX Coordinator of the school. The order said that the two students were not to communicate with each other. A while after the meeting she planned a trip to Mexico with friends, where she later learned that her assaulter "belatedly joined a trip planned by several Sigma Chi brothers to visit the same city and stay at the same hotel where she and her friends would be staying," The Chicago Maroon said.
From there, after returning to campus for spring semester, she met with the Associate Dean of Students to follow through with the case.
"The thing that was sticking with me was that even after all of this, he didn't think that anything he had done was wrong," she said.
Since then, the male student was suspended and later expelled from his fraternity that stated that they do not condone his behavior.
He claimed that the university unjustly took action action against him in the case.
"The system is heavily biased against individuals like me. My family and I are working-class first generations immigrants. My parents barely speak English. We didn't know anything about dealing with these sorts of hearings," he wrote.
"I was presumed guilty from the start," he added.
The female student said she is pleased with the results and felt that justice was served, stating that it does not matter how far along a student is in school for the administration to make these decisions. She hopes that women become more empowered because of this and said that ultimately it was the student's actions that got him expelled.

National Democratic Front
The usual suspects: a cautionary tale
Although he has yet to be inaugurated as the 16th President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte has already met with the leaders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). His presumptive peace negotiators also met with the leaders of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) last June 15 in Oslo, Norway, to discuss the resumption of peace talks between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the NDFP by July this year.
The meeting with the NDFP has been described as cordial and open, and that with the MNLF and the MILF as one "among brothers." Although part of the agenda in the Duterte meeting with the MILF was the incoming administration's commitment to the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), which has been in limbo since 2015 because of the Mamasapano incident and the refusal of Congress to act on it, the meeting with the biggest groups that have been involved in the Mindanao conflict was also meant to resolve such other issues as the MNLF's resistance to the BBL and the tension between it and the MILF.

Four cabinet posts do not communism make
It may still be weeks before his inauguration as the 16th president of the Philippines, but President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has already generated enough controversy to occupy the country for the rest of the year through (1) his declaration that he would pursue peace talks with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), and release all political prisoners as a confidence-building measure; (2) his subsequent meeting — described as "cordial" by observers — with NDFP emissaries; and (3) his alloting four Cabinet posts to individuals from, or nominated by, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
During the campaign for the presidency, Duterte also declared that he was a "socialist" and that if elected he would be the first "leftist" president of the Philippines. Days before election day, he also presided over the release of several policemen who had been captured by the New People's Army (NPA), while later engaging in a friendly long-distance conversation with his former professor, CPP founding chair Jose Ma. Sison.

2019 Scorecard Bill Descriptions
About Open Democracy Action
Open Democracy Action (ODA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to creating and safeguarding political equality for the people of New Hampshire. We believe this will only happen through an open, accountable, and trusted democratic government, "of, by, and for the people," that is free from the corrupting influence of big-money politics and control.
To that end, we educate and inform New Hampshire's citizens and the state's civic and political leaders about reforms needed to replace the current big-money political system⎯a system which perpetuates political inequality⎯with a system of people politics that encourages equality. And we assist and mobilize groups, candidates, and elected officials who support the reform agenda.
The Open Democracy Action Scorecard
It is one thing for candidates to declare that they believe in open democracy and stand for political equality, quite another for office holders to vote in ways that move us in that direction. This scorecard measures the latter. It is ODA's third annual report to New Hampshire's citizens documenting how their state representatives and senators voted on democracy issues. This year we have included the Governor's record of signing or vetoing the democracy bills that reached his desk.
In 2019 New Hampshire legislators passed a number of bills that would take strong steps toward returning our state government to the people it is obligated to represent. These bills close loopholes in campaign finance law, repeal previous efforts to curb voting rights, remove politics from the redistricting process, and call for a constitutional amendment to counter the U.S. Supreme Court's damaging and naive Citizens United decision. Sadly, few of these bills became law due to the Governor's unprecedented use of his veto power.
We encourage all who read this scorecard to become familiar with how their elected officials voted on these bills, to urge them to support legislation that would create a more open state government, and to question and organize against those who oppose these efforts.
2019 and 2020 Bills
Open Democracy Action followed a number of bills during the 2019 and 2020 legislative session. Few of these were decided by roll call votes in both the Senate and House. (Roll calls provide a record of individual votes, so are essential for scorecard data.) Bills and resolutions that originated in the House (HBs, HRs and HCRs) and were voted down in that chamber, were not considered in the Senate, and vice versa for bills originating in the Senate (SBs). Some bills were placed on the Consent Calendar or decided by voice vote, so furnished no data for scoring. Still, eighteen votes (including override votes), ten in the Senate and eight in the House, provided information on which to score legislators on the issues we care about. The Governor was scored on 12 bills. Please note 2020 had limited legislative activity in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Scoring methodology
The score that appears in the red column on the following pages represents a legislator's percentage of pro-reform votes. Because it is impossible to know why a legislator missed a particular vote, excused absences (A/E) and unexcused absences (A/U) were treated as anti-reform votes. Those legislators with fewer than two recorded votes were not scored and show N/S in the score column.
2020 Scorecards Bills
HB1266- Temporary Changes to Absentee Voting This bill made temporary changes to the absentee voting process in response to the coronavirus COVID-19. This allowed for voter registration by mail for those not able to appear in person before their election officials. It also allowed for absentee voting for individuals expressing concerns about voting in person. The absentee ballot application was required and available from the Secretary of State and town/city clerks. This application allowed for both the primary and general election ballots to be requested with a single form.
This passed unanimously in the Senate 24-0 and in the House the vote was 221-101. It was signed into law by the Governor.
HB1665- Establishing an Independent Advisory Commission on Redistricting
This bill proposed an independent advisory commission on redistricting in order to conduct an open transparent process to consider the drawing of district lines. The commission was to be comprised of an equal number of members of both parties. The commission would propose maps that would not favor any political party or candidate and they would be available to the public.
This bill was passed by the Senate 15-9. It was passed by the House 203-121. It was vetoed by the Governor and the veto override vote was 198-135, failing to reach the 2/3 majority required to override.
HB1672- Absentee Voting
This measure authorizes online voter registration, voters to vote by absentee ballot, and allows municipalities to process but not count, absentee ballots prior to election day. This bill would also require the Secretary of State to share voter data in a statewide centralized voter registration database. This bill was in response to COVID-19. This bill was broader than HB1266.
The bill went through the House as Ought to Pass 194-132 then to the Senate passing 14-10. The bill was brought to the House session on 7/1/20 to concur 195-130. The bill was vetoed by the Governor and the veto override vote was 191-141, failing to obtain the 2/3 majority required to override.
2019 Bills Scored for the Governor
HB 706 would establish an independent, nonpartisan redistricting commission. The commission would replace the current method by which boundary lines are drawn by members of the majority party⎯a practice that commonly gives that party electoral advantage (aka political gerrymandering). HB 706 passed in the House on a vote of 218-123 and in the Senate on a voice vote. Governor Sununu vetoed it and the House failed on a vote of 227-145 to reach the necessary 2/3 majority to override.
HB 105 would repeal SB 3 (2017), the highly controversial bill that required voters wishing to register and vote on election day to provide written proof of domicile. If they cannot do so, they must fill out a lengthy, confusing affidavit and agree to submit proof within a short period or be investigated and subject to criminal penalties. ODA considered SB 3 to be a draconian solution to a nonexistent problem, predicting it would discourage many legitimate Granite Staters from voting. HB 105 passed in the House on a vote of 209-155 and in the Senate on a party-line 14-10 vote. The House failed on a vote of 220-156 to reach the necessary 2/3 majority to override Governor Sununu's veto.
HB 106 would repeal HB 1264 (2018) the bill that made what appeared to be a small technical change—equating "domicile" for voting purposes with "residency." Its ramifications were anything but small, however. Of HB 1264, the NH Campaign for Voting Rights stated: "This bill would have a chilling effect on the rights of eligible New Hampshire voters in the military, professionals and students...[and] acts as a post-election poll tax..." HB 106 passed in the House on a vote of 213-154 and in the Senate on a party-line 14-10 vote. Governor Sununu vetoed it and the House failed to override on a vote of 224-158.
Transparency and political contribution restrictions
SB 105 limits contributions to gubernatorial inaugural committees to $10,000 per contributor and calls for receipts for any inaugural expenditures over $1,000 paid to the governor-elect or the governor-elect's family members. SB 105 passed in the Senate on a strong bipartisan 22-2 vote. The House passed it on a voice vote. The governor signed the bill.
SB 106 would close a loophole in election law that some independent spending groups have used to avoid registering with the Secretary of State and filing expenditure reports. It passed unanimously in the Senate and passed in the House on a voice vote. The Senate failed on a vote of 15-9 to get the 16 votes needed to override the Governor's veto.
SB 156 would close the loophole allowing a donor to create multiple Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) to get around campaign contribution limits. The bill passed the Senate on a 13-11 vote and the House on a 212-139 division vote. The Senate failed on a 14-10 party-line vote to override the Governor's veto.
HB 504 would make New Hampshire the 20th state to call for Congress (not an Article V Constitutional Convention of the States) to pass a constitutional amendment to be ratified by the states allowing and requiring federal and state governments to regulate money in politics to prevent corruption, i.e., overturn the Citizen's United vs FEC decision. It also contained a component prohibiting partisan gerrymandering. HB 504 passed in the House on a division vote (no names associated with votes) of 200-149 and in the Senate on a party-line 14-10 vote. The House failed on a vote of 221-157 to reach the necessary 2/3 majority to override Governor Sununu's veto. Despite the veto, New Hampshire can still claim to be the 20th state to go on record against Citizens United.
SB 206 Utility companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying expenses for projects like Northern Pass. SB 206 prohibits passing these costs on to consumers. SB 206 passed unanimously in the Senate, the House passed it on a voice vote, and the governor signed the bill into law.
The score that appears in the red column on the following page represents the Governor's percentage of pro-reform votes.
2019 Bills Scored in the Senate
SB 7, the SMART Act, would provide each potential voter an opportunity to register to vote at the time they obtain a driver's license, a practice used successfully in a number of states. The Division of Motor Vehicles would share information from its database with the Secretary of State, allowing efficient updating of voter checklists whenever voters change their address. The Senate passed SB 7 on a 13-10 party-line vote. The bill was retained in committee in the House.
SB 106 (regular and override votes) would close a loophole in election law that some independent spending groups have used to avoid registering with the Secretary of State and filing expenditure reports. It passed unanimously in the Senate and passed in the House on a voice vote. The Senate failed on a vote of 15-9 to get the 16 votes needed to override the Governor's veto.

The score that appears in the red column on the following pages represents a legislator's percentage of pro-reform votes. Because it is impossible to know why a legislator missed a particular vote, excused absences (A/E) and unexcused absences (A/U) were treated as anti-reform votes. Representatives with fewer than two recorded votes were not scored and show N/S in the score column.
2019 Bills Scored in the House of Representatives
HB 706 (regular session and override votes) would establish an independent, nonpartisan redistricting commission. The commission would replace the current method by which boundary lines are drawn by members of the majority party⎯a practice that commonly gives that party electoral advantage (aka political gerrymandering). HB 706 passed in the House on a vote of 218-123 and in the Senate on a voice vote. Governor Sununu vetoed it and the House failed on a vote of 227-145 to reach the necessary 2/3 majority to override.
HB 105 (regular session and override votes) would repeal SB 3 (2017), the highly controversial bill that required voters wishing to register and vote on election day to provide written proof of domicile. If they cannot do so, they must fill out a lengthy, confusing affidavit and agree to submit proof within a short period or be investigated and subject to criminal penalties. ODA considered SB 3 to be a draconian solution to a nonexistent problem, predicting it would discourage many legitimate Granite Staters from voting. HB 105 passed in the House on a vote of 209-155 and in the Senate on a party-line 14-10 vote. The House failed on a vote of 220-156 to reach the necessary 2/3 majority to override Governor Sununu's veto.
HB 106 (regular session and override votes) would repeal HB 1264 (2018) the bill that made what appeared to be a small technical change—equating "domicile" for voting purposes with "residency."

Despite the veto, New Hampshire can still claim to be the 20th state to go on record against Citizens United.
HCR 5 also calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to counter the effects of the Citizens United decision. The bill passed in the House on a vote of 198-132. As a House resolution, HCR 5 was not taken up by the Senate.

Blog: Scotland sets a UK standard for injured people
Scotland sets a UK standard for injured people
Gordon Dalyell | 10 May 2018
A Bill has been passed without a great deal of fanfare, which will revolutionise the way people can claim redress through Scottish courts when they have been injured through no fault of their own.
The Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Act may sound as dry as dust, but it will bring greater fairness to a system which has for years put a number of barriers in the way of injured people who need to claim compensation. In doing so, it will create the gold standard for funding personal injury claims - a standard which will leave the rest of the UK struggling to catch up.
In essence, the Act means that vulnerable people will be able to pursue compensation for genuine injuries without the fear of personal bankruptcy. Cases will be settled or negotiated on their merits, without worries about swingeing costs being awarded against injured pursuers. These worries currently result in genuine cases not being brought at all, or being settled for less than their true value because the financial risks of pursuing them are too high.
The root of the problem is that injured people have to cope with a system which is highly complex and alien to them. They are fighting for redress from those who have injured them, who are almost always bankrolled by insurance companies which are experienced in the cut and thrust of the court system. They are well resourced and know how to play the game.
By contrast, injured pursuers may be unable to work because of their injuries, or look after their children, or even dress or feed themselves. These people need to get their lives back on track and they are entitled to claim compensation from those who have injured them precisely for that purpose. They are severely disadvantaged by the current system, and are often terrified of losing what little they have left in their efforts to claim what is rightfully theirs.
This iniquity was recognised by the architect of this legislation, former Sheriff Principal James Taylor, who conducted an extensive and comprehensive review of the civil justice system. His aim was to introduce balance to what he has described as 'in many cases…a true David and Goliath relationship.'
More than six years after he began his review, we now have legislation which provides a carefully interwoven package of reforms which will allow injured people to fund their cases properly, with certainty and clarity about the costs involved. At the same time, their lawyers will be paid fairly for their work, and safeguards have been put in place to protect defenders and their insurers from any misguided attempts to take advantage of the new system.
Sheriff Principal Taylor struck a fine balance in his review and it is right that the legislation we now have reflects that detailed and thorough work. When someone with experience and knowledge of the system commits to years of work to reform it, the outcome should be respected. In doing precisely that, Parliament has overturned years of unfairness.
The picture is getting clearer, 01 Aug 2017
Gordon Dalyell has represented Scotland on APIL's national executive committee for several years and is now the association's vice president. He has been a partner with Digby Brown LLP in Edinburgh since 1998. He has wide experience in dealing with many areas of personal injury, including accidents at work, road traffic accidents, fatal claims, and public liability claims, as well as claims for miscarriages of justice.

Fossil fuel 'influencers' add new twist to old game of paid promotions
Last Updated: January 18, 2023 10:34 am
(A native of England, veteran journalist Matthew Diebel has worked at NBC News, Time, USA Today and News Corp., among other organizations. Having spent much of his childhood next to one of the world's fastest bodies of water, he is particularly interested in tidal energy.)
Made in the shady: The fossil fuel industry's 'influencers'
Ever since I first heard it, I've been both fascinated and repelled by the word "influencers." As a skeptical journalist who hopes he's not easily persuaded, the moniker has an ickiness about it that leaves one with the impression that many people are gullible.
The term appeared on the scene a few years ago and usually meant some beauteous celebrity or social media star pushing a particular perfume or party dress. OK, not such a big deal, even when, as my son does, you spend hundreds of dollars annually on sneakers touted by one hotshot or another.
But now the somewhat insidious salespersonship has come to the matter of climate change, with millions being paid to influencers to promote fossil fuels. And it turns out it's a shady business in more ways than one…

When You Wish Upon a Star
"Fate is kind.
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing."
-- from "When You Wish Upon A Star"
Leigh Harline and Ned Washington, 1940
"The important point is to realize that you are never off duty."
-- Chogyam Trungpa
Over a decade ago, I sat on the front porch of an A frame on the ridge at Zen Mountain Monastery gazing at a star-filled Catskill Mountain sky. I was certain that I was going to leave the monastery after six months in residence.
I had absolutely no idea what my next move would be. Over the years, I had often thought, "once the kids are grown, I can finally DO IT! I'd get to the monastery or ashram and find The Teacher -- then really get spiritual."
So much for that idea.
Although I had again experienced a number of deep "openings" in the cauldron of Zen Training as envisioned by Roshi John "Daido" Loori, I knew that the rigid, hard-driving, and unabashedly hierarchical nature of the Roshi's "Eight Gates of Zen" didn't ring true for me. Though I respected many of the folks involved, and saw that the monastic life appeared to work for some, I now knew I wasn't going to get off that easy. I was going to have to get out there on the streets and figure it out for myself -- again.
As I sat there, absolutely clueless, an image of the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull came to mind. Then, like that intrepid avian seeker of perfection, I thought, "Just hang onto the wind and trust!" At that very instant, a shooting star flashed across the night sky directly in front of my eyes to then disappear into the tapestry of countless stars and fathomless blackness reaching overhead.
I wish it was always that easy.
The decision made and "confirmed", the next morning, I ate crow (I had made a year's commitment), and announced my intention to leave. My favorite monk and mentor there, Ryushin, who would later become the Abbot of ZMM*, challenged me directly about breaking the commitment I'd made. "How can you live with yourself?" he demanded.
I replied that although I may have sometimes bailed too early on a commitment in the past, the truth of the matter was that my usual modus operandi was to stick with something long after it was obvious that it made no sense to do so. I wasn't going to do that again. It was time to go.
I don't know that he agreed with my decision but, bless his heart, he hugged me as I departed.
I think for a lot of us, the notion of "breaking free" from the incessant busyness and demands of the "rat race" has been quite appealing. For some of us geezers who had experienced the widespread Spiritual Awakening of the 60's, "heading for the hills" often meant heading to the ashrams and monasteries (or the hermit's huts and caves) to find the Ultimate Answers to Life. I, myself, had made a number of such journeys over the years as I stumbled ahead. My tour of duty at Zen Mountain Monastery was, I think, the final time I barked my shins on the way up the wrong tree.
I realized this time, in my bones, that the true spiritual journey for me was one of the integration with, not separation from, what first Zorba the Greek, then Jon Kabat-Zinn characterized as the "full catastrophe" of Life. I was going to trust my fate and surf samara as best I could.
This doesn't mean that I don't think there are Teachers and Teachings and Spiritual Communities that can provide us with a degree of support and guidance along the way. The opportunity to engage in intensive meditation retreats is a blessing, and I am so grateful to have been able to dive deeply into days, weeks, and months of such settings over the years. I honor and respect the efforts of those who have dedicated their lives to these efforts and will continue to sing their praises at times. (In fact, I highly recommend that you attend a meditation retreat if you haven't yet. Even a full day or a weekend can be transformative.)
Yet, for me (and I think many other folks), the True Spiritual Journey doesn't involve heading to the hills forever. It involves diving ever more deeply into our lives as they are with as much skill and grace as we can muster.
Once we discern that our deepest yearning is to love unconditionally and to help out as best we can, Practice unfolds as both the means and the ends of cultivating the clarity, kindness, understanding, compassion, and equanimity to do that. With Practice we learn to be more fully Present, to engage life with all our sensory apparatus functioning, with an Open Heart and Clear Mind. Rather than sleepwalk through our lives on automatic pilot, lost in our thoughts and daydreams, we vow to awaken. We face ourselves and our lives squarely -- ready to rock!
At that point, everyone and everything becomes the Teacher and the Teaching!
What more could one wish for?
* several years after our encounter, Ryushin left the monastery -- and his marriage.

We must remember the Huta Pieniacka murder victims - PM
News & Politics | History | News
(PAP) mp/mf February 28, 2019
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter on Thursday that Poland owes remembrance to Poles who were murdered in Huta Pieniacka (today western Ukraine) by Ukrainians from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a Nazi SS division and other barbaric units.
"Seventy-five years ago, under the German occupation, they died at the hands of their neighbours because they (Polish people - PAP) felt Polish, because they were Poles," PM noted.
The Huta Pieniacka massacre is considered to be the most serious crime committed by Ukrainian nationalists in that region of Eastern Europe. On Feb. 28, 1944, Ukrainian volunteers forming a unit of the German 14th SS "Galicia" Division massacred between 850 and 900 people in the village. The main reason for the massacre was that Poles killed two soldiers of the Ukrainian unit.
Victims of Ukrainian volunteers to the Waffen SS division and Ukrainian nationalist units were not only the inhabitants of Huta Pieniacka, but also many others who had escaped from Volhynia and from villages that the UPA had razed to the ground in 1943. Jews who were threatened by German extermination also hid in Huta Pieniacka. In the village inhabited by over 1,000 people, only 160 people survived.
The SS "Galicia" Division was formed in 1943 in Lviv, Eastern Galicia. The main founder of the division was the district governor SS Otto Waechter.

The centre-back will sit out the Dons' game with St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Saturday after being given a straight red card by Craig Thomson against Killie on September 1.
Despite Devlin's foul on Eamonn Brophy being 35 yards from goal and Shay Logan covering ref Thomson deemed it a goalscoring opportunity and sent Devlin off.
The Reds appealed but the decision was not overturned at the hearing last Wednesday.
McInnes felt that was the wrong decision and told Red TV: "It really angers me and saddens me that we can't come to what for me was the only verdict.
"Referees make mistakes, we've been the victims of mistakes in the last couple of games and we get that.
"But when there is an appeal process there you would expect that to get to the right outcome.
"The last four or five of these appeal processes with different clubs there doesn't seem to be that common sense conclusion.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, left, shakes hands with Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke.
"It goes right across the board, managers have a vested interest but I think supporters, journalists and people in the game have the same opinion.
"We're all baffled by some of these decisions. It's nothing about bias and I want to make that clear.
"I think every club gets punished or leeway at some point for me it's the incompetence of these panels that calls it into question.
"Especially with the Devlin one for us. These appeal processes are like VAR for after the event so we can come to the right decision.
"But I just can't for the life of me understand it with Michael being fouled in the first place and Shay Logan getting round and covering, I just felt it was an opportunity missed to make the right decision but it's been pretty standard over the last wee while.
"It just means people lose confidence in the whole process and it will make you think twice about appealing in the future.
"It was so disappointing that we didn't get Michael available.
Meanwhile, McInnes is hopeful of having on-loan Manchester United striker James Wilson available for the trip to Perth.
Wilson has been working with Aberdeen's physios during the international break to try to clear up a hamstring injury.
Scott McKenna returned to full training yesterday as he steps up his recovery from a torn hamstring suffered against Rangers on August 5.
Scott Wright, Tommie Hoban, Mark Reynolds and Greg Tansey will all miss the clash with Saints.
