StarChase Pursuit Management Technology by Advanced Public Safety is a GPS-based tagging system that helps eliminate the need for a pursuit by providing a safer alternative. It allows officers to remotely tag and GPS track a suspect's vehicle.
The system is deployed at speed or stationary and contains a compressed-air launcher, mounted in the grill or on the push bar of a police vehicle, a GPS projectile and secure mapping system.
Once the officer tags the vehicle, they simply drop back and coordinate vehicle tracking with dispatch, avoiding a traditional pursuit.
StarChase can help officers safely manage most high-risk vehicle stops, from felonies to narcotics and DUIs, according to the company.

Oh daily deals, we hardly knew you. Hot news right up until they weren’t (say, right around Groupon’s big overblown IPO), they might not be dead yet, but they certainly aren’t getting any bigger. Groupon, the first in the field, is staying in business by expanding to related, but different models, like event ticketing, and with its most recent purchase, flash sales.
With its acquisition of the New York-based sale site ideeli, which was announced today, Groupon makes an official move into the fashion flash sale sector. Beyond getting into that game, the daily deals company is also acquiring ideeli’s advanced mobile commerce strategy. It’s not yet known whether Groupon will be expanding either ideeli’s core business or its mobile platform.
It’ll be interesting to see how or if Groupon is able to capitalize on the purchase in general — like daily deals, flash sales are now a former trend, if anything. While they seem to have more staying power with consumers than what Groupon’s original business was modeled on, their star isn’t exactly on the rise, either. At any rate, Groupon’s diversification will make it easier for the company to transition away entirely from daily deals, should they die out to the point that it makes sense to abandon them completely.

Former assistant FBI director James Kallstrom, a former head of the FBI’s New York City office, said that Bill and Hillary Clinton are running a “crime family” and described the Clinton Foundation as “organized crime” and a “cesspool.”
“The Clintons, that’s a crime family. It’s like organized crime, basically. The Clinton Foundation is a cesspool.” Kallstrom said in a radio interview with John Catsimatidis on Sunday. “It’s just outrageous how Hillary Clinton sold her office for money. And she’s a pathological liar, and she’s always been a liar. And God forbid if we put someone like that in the White House.”
Kallstrom also ripped on Obama attorney general Loretta Lynch of obstructing the investigation into Clinton’s illegal secret email server, stating that there was never truly a “real investigation being conducted because of the decision not to have a grand jury.
“The problem here is this investigation was never a real investigation,” he said. “That’s the problem. They never had a grand jury empanelled, and the reason they never had a grand jury empanelled, I’m sure, is Loretta Lynch would not go along with that.”
On Saturday, Kallstrom, who formerly worked with FBI director James Comey and respected him so much that he recommended him for a prior position, said that he “always had a high opinion” of Comey but said that he “hasn’t had the intestinal fortitude to fight the rabid politicians in Washington,” in an interview with Justice With Judge Jeanine on FOX News.
Kallstrom repeated his charge to Judge Jeanine Pirro that there was no real investigation into the Emailgate scandal caused by Hillary Clinton.
“Since when do you have a major investigation when there’s — as Rudy [Giuliani] said — no grand jury, no subpoenas, no warrants. I mean, it’s crazy. And what they left on the table — you know the top secret documents they found — you know people go for life in prison at Leavenworth for disclosing one top secret document. She had multiple ones — code word documents — as sensitive as you can get.”
Kallstrom told Pirro that the Clinton should have been charged with “obstruction of justice” for “destruction of evidence” as well as “conspiracy” and “perjury”and that the decision not to have Hillary Clinton charged has caused a “major morale problem” within the FBI that’s like a “boiling cauldron,” according to several connections he has within the agency.
Kallstrom said that his “gut” is telling him that Comey must have something “big” coming out before the election and surmised that Comey may have made his announcement now because he “couldn’t hold onto it any longer” for fears that “the locals” in the FBI “stepped in.”

Belichick, Brady, LeGarrette Blount give Patriots edge
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Belichick. Brady. And now Blount.
You’ve known the first two for more than a decade, possibly the best in the business at what they do. Now you know the third, the rejuvenated running back who will carry the ball and much of the New England Patriots’ hopes on his broad shoulders.
Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, the winningest coach-quarterback duo in NFL history, are in the AFC championship game for the eighth time in their 14 seasons together.
They’ll need more to beat the Denver Broncos on Sunday and they should get plenty from LeGarrette Blount, the bulldozer with breakaway speed who powers the Patriots’ charge toward their second Super Bowl in three years.
“The way he’s running, the way we’ve blocked offensively, it’s never a problem for me to check to a run because they’re executing it so well,” Brady said.
The 250-pound Blount struggled the last time he faced the Broncos, a game the Patriots won 34-31 in overtime Nov. 24. He carried the ball three times and lost it twice. The first fumble was reversed on replay. So Brady gave him the ball on the next play, he fumbled again and no replay was needed to confirm Denver’s recovery.
But now Blount is barreling for long touchdowns: 73, 36 and 35 yards in the past two games. In his last three games, he gained 431 yards on 64 carries for eight touchdowns with just one fumble that was recovered by the Patriots. And they won those by 34, 14 and 21 points.
“We’ll just have to gang tackle,” Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton side. “He’s getting to the second level untouched because their (offensive) line is doing a good job of getting a hat on a hat and controlling their one guy.”
It will be tougher to stop Blount with Chris Harris, Von Miller, Rahim Moore, Kevin Vickerson and Derek Wolfe all sidelined.
Left guard Logan Mankins, a six-time Pro Bowler with a mean streak, sets the tone for the Patriots’ veteran offensive line.
Sure, the Broncos allowed only 65 yards rushing last Sunday in their 24-17 divisional-round win over San Diego. But Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers handed the ball off just four times after falling behind 14-0 at halftime and nearly completed an improbable comeback.
That’s nothing compared with the 24-0 hole the Patriots found themselves in at intermission two months ago against Denver. But they climbed out of that. They also beat Miami after trailing by 14 at halftime and Cleveland after trailing by 12 in the final two minutes. Should adversity strike Sunday, the Patriots will be prepared.
“We’ve won a bunch of different ways,” Brady said. “We’ve won coming from behind, we’ve won with leads, we’ve won in pretty crappy weather conditions. You just fight through whatever it takes.”
The Patriots certainly have done that on defense.
They lost key starters Vince Wilfork, Jerod Mayo and Tommy Kelly in the first half of the season. Brandon Spikes joined them on injured reserve after the last regular-season game.
But their replacements have been solid while gaining experience, and the secondary is the healthiest part of the defense — good news for a team facing the highest-scoring offense in NFL history, led by Peyton Manning and four players with at least 60 catches.
Manning had his worst game of the season in the teams’ first matchup. But with a strong wind and Knowshon Moreno gaining 224 of Denver’s 280 yards rushing, the ground attack was the way to go.
The Patriots learned their lesson.
“We can’t let them run for 230 yards and think that we’re going to come out with a win again,” safety Devin McCourty said.
The danger in focusing on the run is that Manning would throw more. The upside is that he’s 4-10 in his career against Brady, with a poor 61.0 passer rating with one win in three postseason games against New England.
Should all else fail, of course, there’s Brady, who found new targets this season in Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and Shane Vereen.
“We’ve become a pretty good run team,” the star quarterback and astute field general said. “Hopefully, we can be a pretty good pass team this weekend, too.”
And there’s Belichick.
“He’s maintained a consistency,” Broncos coach John Fox said, “and done a better job than anybody in the modern era of football.”
And, of course, there’s now Blount.
“The offense is definitely clicking,” he said. “We’ve been getting hot at the right time of the year.”
PREDICTION: Patriots 38, Broncos 31

I have a handful of books I wish everyone could read. Recently, I added another book to that list, Instinct: How Our Biology Hijacks Our Happiness [and How to Fix It] by Rebecca Heiss, PhD.
Long ago, I began to realize that human biological development has not kept pace with our social and technological developments. Our brains are hardwired to trigger behaviors that helped our species survive in the past, but can work against us these days. My short list of must-reads includes several books on this topic, such as Influence by Robert Cialdini and Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. They teach us how clever marketers—whether they market goods, services, beliefs or ideologies—can use our brain wiring to make their sales pitches virtually irresistible.
We rarely realized this is happening. It all flies below our conscious radar screens.
When Sometimes-Helpful Instincts Go Astray
Not all sub radar influences are imposed on us by marketers. Some come from our culture and surroundings. In Women Can Renew the World If… and So Can You, I write about how the language we use instills implicit bias against women in positions of status and visibility, thus robbing entire societies of women’s best potential contributions. In Instinct, Dr. Heiss explains how our high-tech lives keep us in an almost constant state of anxiety. She explains the biology behind this, the harm it does us, and how to fix it.
Chapter 1, “Survival,” deals with the fight, flight or freeze reaction to fear or anxiety. This was crucial to survival in the many millennia when humans routinely faced threats to their lives—tigers, hostile tribes, food shortages. Our bodies pump out lots of survival biochemicals that help us fight, fly or freeze. Such life-threatening situations did not last long back when that instinct evolved. If one survived the encounter with a member of a hostile tribe, brain and body chemistry returned to normal quickly. Our bodies are not designed to handle such floods of biochemicals over extended periods of time. When that happens, it takes a great toll on our physical and mental health and longevity.
I was especially concerned to learn that frequent presence of stress hormones can cause telomeres in our nervous systems to break down, leading to dementia and other conditions associated with aging.
We still need these biochemically driven instincts when faced with an imminent life or death situation, such as an armed robbery. But our modern lives keep them in overdrive too often. Heiss describes an all-too-familiar lifestyle in which technology that allows us to do things more quickly does not result in more leisure time. Rather, it results in pressure to do even more. Sometimes the pressure may come from a boss, sometimes it comes from oneself. Sadly, sometimes the anxiety in children comes from parents and teachers.
If we don’t answer every text message quickly enough, we feel anxious. Thus, we produce the same biochemicals as if we were being physically attacked. A delayed text is not life threatening. Life or death biochemistry is not what we need when we are trying to concentrate on a task. No wonder work suffers in terms of both quantity and quality.
Instinct suggests that we can counter this by doing something novel. If stuck in traffic, worried about getting to the next appointment, for example, try counting all the cars of a given color that you can see. Why not? If you’re stuck, counting cars won’t delay you any further, but it may reduce your anxiety.
How I Am Applying This
I’m pretty good about limiting text messages and how often I check my email. I take the time to prioritize how well I do a task, rather than how quickly I do it. Yet, I do feel a frequent undercurrent of anxiety and fear about things that, unlike a missed text, really are dangerous—things like politics, the war in Europe, climate change and more. But these things don’t bring a quick live-or-die result, like an encounter with a dangerous animal would. The Ukrainian war has gone on for months. I hope climate change can be reversed, but temperatures might not be back to safe levels in my lifetime.
I know that neither fighting, fleeing nor freezing is an effective response here. I know that I do a better job training people and writing my books and articles when I feel relaxed and upbeat. Yet, I sense that, even when long range dangers are not actually on my mind, they may be flying somewhere below my conscious radar screen.
When I’m doing something that doesn’t capture my full concentration, something like unloading the dishwasher, my mind tends to wander to things I fear. So I’ve decided to try Dr. Heiss’s suggestion of doing something novel during these trivial tasks. It’s proving rather fun.
One of the things I started is singing a silly song. A while ago I picked up a tray from which I had been eating, and on the way to the kitchen, I also picked up a long handled grabbing tool I keep handy to reach things on high shelves. I carried the tray in one hand and snapped the grabber open and shot like a talking mouth. It felt silly, which made me laugh at myself, which as someone said long ago, is the best medicine. I’ll be interested to see how I feel after a few weeks of this practice.
Try It Out
I invite you all to have a look at Instinct, try Dr. Heiss’s fixes, and let us know how they work out for you.

MANILA, Philippines – Does online social networking use increase the risk for HIV among men having sex with other men in the Philippines?
Men having sex with other men (MSM) have become the new face of HIV/AIDS in the country. Over the years, since HIV was first detected in the country in 1984, the face of the virus has changed from female to males, heterosexuals to homosexuals.
To curb the growth of the virus in the country, the Department of Health (DOH) has studied behaviors and causes of the rise of HIV among MSM. One study conducted by the DOH in 2011, zoomed in on the effect of online social networking (OSN) in spreading the virus.
The report, summarized by DOH Assistant Secretary Enrique Tayag in an HIV forum on Monday, December 3, showed that among MSM, online social networking contributes to the rise of HIV/AIDS in the Philippines.
82 sex partners a year
Tayag said that MSM are attracted to online networking sites for various reasons.
He said it created new opportunities to meet sex partners, and that MSMs can do just that without fear of negative social consequences. Tayag added that “meeting via the Internet equals higher rates of sexual risk behaviors.”
The study conducted by the DOH surveyed 180 respondents, most of whom (67%) said they use online sites for both dating and sex. Majority of the respondents (74%) said they had sex with people they had met online.
While Facebook was still the favored site for dating, other sites like Planet and chat rooms were popular choices for men to find sexual partners. Finding a sexual partner online, respondents said, could take anywhere between 5 minutes to over a day.
The ease at which men find sexual partners online is evident by the number of sexual partners reported by respondents — some said they had up to 500 sex partners a year. The average number of sexual partners from online social networking sites was pegged at 82.
Online hookups have also seen younger men engage in sex. Those who had sex with men they met on social networking sites were between the ages of 14-36.
Causes of HIV
While respondents engaged in riskier behavior that increased the likelihood of getting infected, the consistency of condom use was low.
Of the 180, 159 respondents said they engaged in both oral and anal sex — most of whom were both oral and anal inserters and receivers. Only 2% said they have never had oral sex, while a low 7% denied having tried anal sex.
A significant 79% said they use condoms, but majority of those, 68%, said they used condoms consistently.
Men who have sex with other men engage in riskier practices as they grow older. But while practices like anal sex have increased over the years, the use of condoms have not seen a rise in the same amount of time, and instead have remained constant.
Aside from the high prevalence of unsafe behaviors among key populations at risk like MSM, other drivers of the HIV epidemic in the country include the widening financial gap to ensure universal access to prevention and treatment, below target prevention coverage, growing number of areas that are vulnerable, and legal barriers that disallow agencies to help those at risk.
The lack of information has also perpetuated the epidemic. MSM reported fear of getting tested, some feel they don’t need it, while others said they don’t know where to get tested.
Tayag said the study reiterated the fears of the DOH and what they had already known to be true.
The challenge now, he said, is to focus on key populations and areas, since they know where the problem lies. Tayag was positive that the Philippines would be able to reverse trends if acted upon.
They know the behaviors that exist, they know that men find men online and have sex, and their role now is to help MSM practice safer sex.
Tayag cited government efforts that are seeking to mitigate effects which included international commitments like the Millennium Development goals, roadmaps, the RH bill, assessments of vulnerability in different areas, and even PhilHealth packages.
“Our investments will go more for prevention that treatment and systems,” he said. “We want this to happen in the country, zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.” – Rappler.com

The growing water shortages carry economic risks that are as damaging as political corruption.
Brahma Chellaney, The Economic Times, March 2, 2012
Water is the most critical of all natural resources on which modern economies depend. Water scarcity and rapid economic advance cannot go hand-in-hand. Yet, with its per capita water availability falling to 1,582 cubic metres per year, India has become water-stressed.
In 1960, India signed a treaty indefinitely setting aside 80% of the Indus-system waters for downstream Pakistan — the most generous water-sharing pact thus far in modern world history. Its 1996 Ganges treaty with Bangladesh guarantees minimum cross-border flows in the dry season — a new principle in international water law. In fact, the treaty almost equally divides the downstream Ganges flows between the two countries. And now India is under pressure to reserve about half of the Teesta River waters for Bangladesh in what will be the world’s first water-sharing treaty of the 21st century. Existing water-sharing treaties elsewhere in the world, by contrast, do not come anywhere close to allocating half of all waters to the downstream state.
India, however, is downriver to China and, with about a dozen important rivers flowing in from the Tibetan Himalayan region, it gets almost one-third of all its yearly water supplies from Tibet, according to United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization figures. Although a number of nations stretching from Afghanistan to Vietnam receive waters from the Tibetan Plateau, India’s direct dependency on Tibetan waters is greater than any other country’s. But Beijing, far from wanting to emulate India’s Indus-style water munificence, rejects the very concept of water sharing and is building large dams on rivers flowing to other nations, with little regard for downriver interests. An extensive Chinese water infrastructure in Tibet will have a serious impact on India.
India thus faces difficult choices on water. It must manage its water resources wisely, including by building greater storage capacity, improving quality, and raising water efficiency and productivity levels.
Its ambitious, Vajpayee-era National River Linking Programme — which has remained on paper for the last 10 years — is designed to help connect 37 Himalayan and peninsular rivers in a pan-Indian water grid to reduce water shortages. Publicly ridiculed by Rahul Gandhi as a “disastrous idea,” it has now been ordered to be implemented by the Supreme Court in “a time-bound manner.” Will that really happen? The experience on the Supreme Court-overseen Narmada project doesn’t leave much room for optimism.
The Supreme Court indeed is burdened by multiple water disputes. With water increasingly at the centre of inter-provincial feuds, the Court has sought to keep peace between warring states. It has struggled for years to resolve water wrangles, only to find the parties returning to litigate again on new grounds.
Plans for large water projects usually run into stiff opposition from influential NGOs. Such is the power of these organizations to organize grassroots protests that it has now become virtually impossible to build a large dam, blighting the promise of hydropower. Proof of this was New Delhi’s 2010 decision to abandon three dam projects on River Bhagirathi, including one project midway, which resulted in the loss of several hundred million dollars of taxpayer money.
The largest dam India has built since independence is the 2,000 MW Tehri, which pales in comparison to the giant Chinese projects, such as the 18,300 MW Three Gorges Dam and the latest dam on the Mekong — the Xiaowan, taller than the Eiffel Tower. China’s proposed Metog (Motuo) Dam, to be built almost on the disputed border with India, is to produce 38,000 MW of power.
At a time when industrial and food production demands are putting increasing pressure on local water resources, NGOs have led grassroots protests also against the setting up of water-intensive industries, delaying the plans of giant corporations like ArcelorMittal and Posco, for example. Add to the picture India’s labyrinthine political and bureaucratic processes, which are slow-moving and bendable to public pressures, however contrived.
In this light, the National River Linking Programme looks like a plan of the dream world: A colossal water grid to handle 178 billion cubic meters of inter-basin water transfers a year through the construction of 12,500 kilometres of new canals, generating 34 GW of hydropower, creating 35 million hectares of additional irrigated land, and opening extended navigation networks. This is the kind of programme that only a large, ruthless autocracy like China can launch and implement.
To be sure, it was the Supreme Court that prodded the government in 2002 to embark on this water-grid programme. It is also true that partisan politics has been at play, with the UPA government loath to endorse its predecessor’s programme. It told Parliament in 2009 that the $120-billion programme — centred on the separate linking of the Himalayan and peninsular rivers — is cost-prohibitive.
Yet it has not tried to put forward a cost-effective alternative to a programme that the National Water Development Agency and the National Commission for Integrated Water Resource Development vouch is essential to stem droughts and floods and to double India’s annual grain production to more than 450 million tons to meet the demands of increasing prosperity and a growing population. Without expanding its irrigated land and adopting new plant varieties and farming techniques, India is likely to become a net food importer in the coming years — a development that will roil the already-tight international food markets.
With the water situation worsening, the Supreme Court has rightly decided to intercede. But given that India has struggled for decades to complete the Narmada project — less than 12½ times the hydropower capacity of China’s Three Gorges project — it is an open question whether the grand river-linking plans will be realized.
More fundamentally, the growing water shortages threaten to slow economic growth and fuel social tensions, unless the government fixes its disjointed policy approach and develops a long-term vision on managing water resources. Water must be treated as a key strategic issue.

Claude Galle (1759-1815).
Pair of spindle-shaped vases.
Ormolu and patinated bronze.
Directoire period, end of the 18th century, circa 1795.
Hight 35,5 cm
Width 11 cm
This pair of spindle vases is distinguished by its elegant sobriety typical of the Directoire period. The patinated bronze body of the vase is left entirely smooth except for the ormolu applied handles. Each one presents a finely chiseled satyr's head resting on a neo-Greek palmette. The handles scroll up around a flower to hang on the long neck of the vase decorated with a leafy motif in relief.
As a collaborator of Jean Hauré at the beginning of his career, Claude Galle first gilded some of the best-known pieces of the famous bronzemaker's production before supplying the imperial Garde-Meuble and establishing himself as the main competitor of his famous colleague Pierre-Philippe Thomire. Thus, he participated, among others, in the decoration of the castles of Compiègne, Fontainebleau, Rambouillet, Saint Cloud and the Tuileries.

Youth mountain bike project
A great trail that can be ridden over and over again on it's own or added to a XC ride around the numerous bridleways. Perfect for all abilities

I work for Kirklees Adventurous Activity Team, and have recently taken a group of young people up to the plantation to ride - needless to say they couldn't get enough of it. Even though ther is currently only a short section of trail built, it is a section that you will want to ride again and again. It's perfect to practice trail technique and hone skills.
The trail is clean and well managed and great fun.
The group I took there are wanting to return again as soon as possible

Cops helping kids through United Way
United Way of Kitsap Countys Kids and Cops program gives new meaning to police intervention.
In an effort to create a positive relationship between law enforcement and local families as well as help children in need, United Way has joined forces with the Bremerton Police Department and local merchants.
Officers participating in the community pilot program are given vouchers for $25 or $50 to pass out to local children when a real need is recognized. The vouchers valid at Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart or J.C. Penney Co. Inc. are good for needed items such as clothes, food and school supplies.
I think its great the community has something like this and can give out vouchers to kids who need it, said Tanya Stansberry, a resident of Westpark.
Her 7-year-old son, Tyler Adair, received a voucher for $50 earlier this week and was invited to participate in United Ways ad campaign. As she watched her son get his picture taken with Bremerton Police officer J.D. Miller, who filled out a voucher for him, she already knew what it would go toward.
I plan on getting him socks, jeans, and maybe a pair of shoes, Stansberry said.
The voucher comes as a welcomed relief for the mother of four.
Its a little bit of a relief, she said. Im stressed out about where moneys coming from.
Not only is the voucher vital for the family in a time of need, but Stansberry is happy Tyler is able to have positive interaction with a local police officer.
I want to make sure (my kids) have respect for law enforcement, she said. Theres a lot of kids where we live that dont.
Through the program, United Way officials are hoping to change that negative outlook.
A lot of folks see police as a threat instead of an ally or resource, we hope this will change their perspective, said Patricia Hennessy, director of resource development for United Way of Kitsap County.
Now that the kinks in the pilot program have been worked out, United Way is hoping to bring Kids and Cops to communities throughout the county.
The Bremerton Police Department was our pilot police department, Hennessy said. Our ultimate goal is to export this throughout the county ... Needs dont have boundaries.
To get the program going, United Way initially committed $10,000 in seed money. The organization hopes to raise additional funds for the program through a June 19 golf tournament. Officials also are hoping to include Kids and Cops in United Ways workplace campaigns as a line item designation so people can donate directly to the program.

SAGINAW, MI — An attorney working for Buena Vista Township has filed a more detailed summary of the events that the former township manager says led to Police Chief Brian Booker's firing.
In a motion for summary disposition, or to dismiss the case on legal grounds, Flint attorney Audrey Forbush argues that the “protected (whistleblower) activity” that Booker claims he participated in was done only because Booker “knew his termination was eminent.”
Forbush filed the motion in Saginaw County Circuit Court on April 15, and court officials sent it to Shiawassee County Circuit Judge Gerald D. Lostracco, who is presiding over the case. Booker and his Saginaw attorney, Debra Fried, have yet to respond to the motion.
Booker in April 2012 sued the township and now-former manager Bregitte Braddock, claiming Braddock violated the state's Whistleblower Protection Act when she fired him Feb. 29, 2012. Booker claimed he reported potential improper audits of the police property room, including drug forfeiture money, and wrote a police report alleging that Braddock promised an in-dispute parcel of land to a friend.
With negotiations about his possible reinstatement having broken down, the township has taken the common next step of asking Lostracco to dismiss the case on legal grounds.
To show legal reason to proceed on a whistleblower violation claim, Forbush writes, Booker either could show that his firing was done for a retaliatory reason or that Braddock's reasons for firing him are “unworthy of credence.”
“However,” Forbush adds, “(Booker) cannot simply show that the employer's decision was wrong or mistaken, since the factual dispute at issue is whether illegal animus motivated the employer, not whether the employer is wise, shrewd, prudent, or competent.”
Forbush also argues that Booker cannot establish a case under the whistleblower act “because he was not engaged in a protected activity, and he cannot make a connection between the alleged protected activity and the decision to terminate his employment.
“Additionally,” Forbush writes, Booker “is precluded from recovery under the (act) because his primary motivation behind his alleged protected acts was not to inform the public on matters of public concern, but rather was for his own personal reasons to attempt to prevent his eminent termination and/or bolster a lawsuit for financial gain.”
Forbush writes that almost exactly a year prior to his ouster, Booker, who was hired as chief April 12, 2005, agreed to a contract that permitted the township to fire him with or without case.
“Braddock elected to terminate (Booker) pursuant to the without cause terms of the (contract) and thus provided four weeks salary following termination,” Forbush writes, “despite the fact that (Booker) was given numerous just cause, substantive, non-retaliatory reasons for his termination.”
Braddock, who since has resigned, began providing those reasons “as early as January 2011,” Forbush writes, noting that Booker testified to the same during his deposition.
“(Booker) testified that Ms. Braddock was 'highly critical' of him,” Forbush writes, quoting Booker's testimony. “Despite these criticisms, (Booker) continues his 'same method of operations' even though he had 'never been criticized like that before.'
“Specifically,” Forbush adds, Booker “was criticized with respect to his lack of wearing a uniform, lack of wearing a bulletproof vest, management style, hours of work, department productivity, and budgetary issues.”
In September 2011, Braddock determined that Booker's performance was “not satisfactory” and that “he had not met his goals,” Forbush writes. “Mr. Booker continued to not meet his goals thereafter.”
One month prior, Forbush writes, township Supervisor Dwayne Parker recommended Booker's termination after then-Buena Vista Police Officer Kenneth T. Bluew killed Jennifer Webb, who was eight months pregnant with Bluew's son.
Forbush quotes Parker's deposition testimony in which Parker said, “I felt that it was an opportunity now to right the ship. We needed to take full responsibility of the deplorable act and that it was time that our head person be responsible for his department.”
Parker was one of four trustees who, after a two-hour board meeting, voted to support Braddock's decision to fire Booker. Three trustees voted against Braddock's decision.
Forbush writes that Booker claimed that the 2011 poor performance review “was in retaliation for his complaint about the improper allocation of drug forfeiture monies; however, correspondence from the township's auditor ... demonstrates that the township properly maintained both an adjudicated and non-adjudicated account as required by law. This is merely a smoke screen by (Booker), as he is unwilling to accept his sub-par performance review.”
Booker in late October 2011 submitted a response to the performance review and “admitted that he was 'in fear for his job,'” Forbush writes. At Braddock's request, she and Booker met Nov. 8, 2011, Forbush writes, and Booker “essentially refused to engage in much, if any, discussion with the manager.”
“Plaintiff being plaintiff,” Forbush writes, Booker “refused to accept any criticism or direction whatsoever — he took his ball and went home — or rather, he said he wasn't going to waste his time arguing ... with his direct supervisor; rather, he was going to bypass her and go to the Board of Trustees — just like he did with (previous township) Manager (Martin) Williams.”
Booker did just that, Forbush writes, but Parker responded by stating that Booker “served at the will and pleasure of the township manager” and that board would not and could not intercede.
“At this point, (Booker) ceased communicating with Ms. Braddock,” Forbush writes. “He regularly skipped scheduled staff meetings and had no other significant discussions with her despite the fact that he knew is job was on the line. He avoided her whenever he possibly could.”
On the 'offensive'
Forbush writes that Booker became “furious,” citing Parker's testimony, after Booker learned that he was the only department head to not get a raise. Booker “then decided to pursue Ms. Braddock more aggressively” after he learned of the land dispute between residents Marvin Plowden and Diana Diaz.
Plowden initially sought to purchase a vacant parcel of land, available for sale by the township to allow neighbors to eliminate blight from their neighborhood, but was behind on his property taxes, Forbush writes. Plowden continued to improve and clean up the property, Forbush writes.
Diaz in October 2011 filed a similar application and was approved by the township board, Forbush writes. Township officials did not contact Plowden, and he “apparently became very upset” when Diaz placed “no trespassing” signs on the property. Diaz rescinded her purchase and “decided she felt 'tricked' by Ms. Braddock, as (Braddock) was friend of Mr. Plowden and had allegedly 'promised' him the property,” Forbush writes. Ultimately, the parcel was split between Diaz and Plowden.
Forbush writes that Booker then contacted Plowden and, citing Plowden's deposition testimony, writes that “Mr. Plowden was adamant that he had never been promised the property and that any suggestion that he had been promised the property was a 'lie.'” Booker “provided Mr. Plowden with the names of three different attorneys,” including Fried, Booker's current attorney, and, according to Plowden's testimony, gave him a 'strong indication that he wanted me to go along with the statement, which I told him was erroneous in the beginning.'”
“(Booker) generated a police report that Mr. Plowden had been promised the land and failed to indicate that Mr. Plowden had actually denied any promise,” Forbush writes. “Further, (Booker's) report referenced crimes like theft, bribery, embezzlement, and ransom, even though there was no support or indication that such crimes had been committed. Curiously, (Booker) did not interview Ms. Braddock during his so-called investigation.”
Forbush writes that then-Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael D. Thomas determined the report “to be of a non-illegal civil matter.”
“There is no law that indicates a township manager cannot make promises to citizens who are trying to clean up the community,” Forbush writes, arguing her point about Booker not engaging in protected activity. “To the extent the alleged promise occurred, it would only potentially violate an internal township policy regarding vacant property distribution.”
Forbush adds, citing precedent, that the “primary motivation” of a whistleblower “must be to inform the public matters of public concern, and 'not personal vindictiveness.'”
“(Booker's) report was not generated due to a public concern,” Forbush argues. “In fact, the report was password protected so other police officers could not even see it. Further, the subject matter of the report was a property dispute between two private citizens — not the public at large.”
As a result, Forbush writes, Booker “did not have a reasonable belief of illegal activity upon which retaliation could be based. Thus, (Booker's) motivation for the ... lawsuit is as an offensive weapon and financial gain, which is not permitted.”

Houthi rebels stand guard during a gathering in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, to mobilize more fighters. Rebel forces in Yemen continue to launch ballistic missiles against Saudi-led forces, modifying and steadily improving the weapons' capabilities.
(MOHAMMED HUWAIS/AFP/Getty Images)
Throughout the war in Yemen, forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and the onetime ruling General People's Congress party have launched ballistic missiles at targets within Yemen and in Saudi Arabia. The Houthi-Saleh alliance uses them to strike back at the Saudi-led coalition, whose air capabilities give it a significant advantage in the conflict. Just this month, Houthi sources claimed to have launched several Zelzal-2 missiles at Saudi military bases near Yemen. Despite the military effort that Saudi-led coalition forces, backed by the United States and United Kingdom, have mounted against them, Houthi and Saleh loyalists continue to use ballistic missiles and, they claim, are even improving the capabilities of the missiles. This improvement, which is happening with possible external support, could constitute a step toward indigenous missile development capabilities....

"Divert" By Matthew Ramsaur
I enjoy supporting my friend, Matthew Ramsaur, in his filmmaking and I especially appreciated the opportunity to work with my son, Ross Taylor, and exceptional actor.
I am blessed.
My oldest son "genetically" inherited my artistic skills (as well as acting) and has taken them to a higher level and my youngest son, who can draw but prefers "designing and building", has taken my love of acting even farther.
I'll have to give their dad at least half the credit! LOL! He's a pretty good actor, too! But his talent is a bit more technical. He's a pilot and I believe my sons got their more "technical" skills from him.


My Escort just started this issue this morning on the freeway. The car is vibrating/shaking and it SEEMS to be coming from the front passenger side. It doesn't vibrate as much when I'm driving at slower speeds but definitely peaks around 50-60mph. Also I noticed that when I'm on the freeway and i change lanes and drive over those lane strips, it produces a much more loud and piercing sound than usual.
Hello, thank you for writing in. There are several issues that may cause these types of symptoms. The most common are improperly inflated or unbalanced tires. If you lost a weight off of the tires while driving, this would cause an imbalance and you would feel it at higher speeds. You should start by having the tires balanced and make sure they are evenly and properly inflated. You can then turn your attention to the wheel assembly including the control arms, struts, and wheel bearings if necessary. Balancing the tires needs to be done by a shop who has access to the balancer. And then further tests can be done by you at home with the proper tools. For more help resolving a suspension or wheel assembly issue, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.

As a grad film student in the 1990s, I acquired a small collection of beautiful Kern-Paillard C-mount lenses, typically used on 16mm and 8mm Bolex cameras. I’ve held onto those lenses for almost 30 years in hopes of using them again some day, so I was thrilled to discover last month that Fotodiox makes an adapter to attach C-mount lenses to Nikon 35mm film cameras.
Since c-mount lenses were designed for a much smaller film gauge, they generally can’t focus to infinity on 35mm film cameras. In fact, my 10mm and 16mm C-mount lenses won’t focus on anything at all when attached to 35mm camera.
But on my Nikon FM, my 36mm and 75mm C-mount lenses have a narrow range in which they can focus on subjects just inches from front of the lens, which makes them perfect for specific kinds of macro photography.
I took the photo of the nickel below on Kodak TMax 400 film using a Nikon FM and a Kern-Paillard Macro-Switar H8 RX 36mm f1.4. The set up has limitations — as you can see, the center of the frame is sharp, but the edges go out of focus, and there’s some shadowy vignetting. But for this photo, I love that look. The vignetting and the focus fall-off give the photo a sense of movement that really appeals to me. I was also able to get incredibly close to the subject, close to a 1:1 ratio, meaning the size of the nickel on the actual film negative is almost the size of an actual nickel.
I also tested the lenses by attaching them to a Canon EOS Rebel T3i digital SLR — using the Fotodiox C-mount lens to Nikon adapter and a Nikon lens to Canon EF adapter. Again, the 16mm and 10mm lenses wouldn’t focus on anything. But the 36mm and 75mm made lovely macro pictures.
The first tree bud image below was taken with the Kern-Paillard Macro-Switar H8 RX 36mm f1.4. As with the nickel above, you can see the focus falling off as you move to the edges of the frame. But the effect is lovely and dreamy, and we’re incredibly close to the tree bud, almost a 1:1 ratio.
And here’s the same subject, but shot with a Kern-Paillard Yvar 75mm f2.8 C-mount lens.
The 75mm lens doesn’t magnify as much as the 36mm lens and doesn’t have the same focus fall-off issues. This feels like a much more standard macro photo look. It’s absolutely lovely, but it has a bit less quirky character than the 36mm lens.
I’ve had great results with more traditional macro photography tools for 35mm film, like the Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5 lens or a Hoya +4 filter attached to a standard 50mm f1.4 lens. But it’s a thrill to get beautiful images from these much older C-mount lenses that have no real business being attached to a 35mm camera in the first place. I can see myself continuing to use the 36mm lens in particular for certain kinds of images because its “flaws” produce such evocative, dreamy effects.
DARTH VADER #32 hits comic book shops today, featuring writing by yours truly, interior line art by Ibraim Roberson, colors by Federico Blee, and letters by Joe Caramagna.
Here’s the official solicit:
HANDMAIDEN NO MORE? Few bonds in the galaxy are as strong as the sisterhood of the former handmaidens of Padmé Amidala. But all that was threatened when Sabé entered the service of Darth Vader, the man the handmaidens always believed was responsible for Padmé’s death. Now Dormé, Saché, Rabé and Eirtaé are determined to save Sabé—or stop her, no matter what. But the influence of the Dark Lord is strong and dangerous—and not just to Sabé. What path will the handmaidens choose? And how does all this play into Darth Vader’s true plans?
Missed the three year anniversary of my COVID lockdown, which was March 13, 2020.
But today’s the three year anniversary of the day I started feeling COVID symptoms. I ended up having what passed for a mild case, but it was at the beginning of that first wave in New York City, and it was quietly terrifying every step of the way.
All the best and huge hearts to everyone who went through something similar or much worse. May we all stay healthy and safe.
This picture just makes me happy. I love the light gleaming on the Empire State and the more subtle light patterns on the building on the bottom right. I love the stark angles of the buildings and the awning in the foreground and the way they seem to guide the pigeon’s trajectory. I love the fact that I nailed the exposure and got the rich black of the awning on the upper left as well as the subtle textures of the cloudy sky.
I took several photos in a row from this general angle as a few pigeons circled in the sky. This was the keeper – the position of the bird made all the angles in the image make sense. I’m constantly dazzled by how much a single bird can improve a photograph in New York City. Thanks, pigeon!
This was my first time shooting a cheap, used Minolta XE-7 that I picked up recently from an auction site. I never shot Minoltas back in the day — I was an insufferable Canon snob who was very happy with an FTb and New F-1. But since I’ve gotten back into film photography over the last year, I’ve had a ton of fun trying out cheap, used cameras from other manufacturers.
The Minolta XE-7 is a big, solid camera that handles beautifully — the film advance in particular has a lovely, smooth feel. It’s a camera that’s just fun to hold. But it’s as heavy as my Canon New F-1 with a 50mm lens attached — which is a bit too heavy for a casual carry-everywhere-all-the-time camera. And I’m not quite sold on the manual metering system — a needle on the right of the viewfinder points to the recommended shutter speed while windows at the top of the viewfinder show the actual shutter speed and F-stop. So you have to move your eye from the needle to the window at the top to take note of the numbers and adjust the shutter speed. That’s better than cameras like the Canon EF and AE-1 that make you lower the camera from your eye to set the aperture. But it’s more confusing than match needle or LED systems that let you set your exposure quickly while looking at just one part of your viewfinder. The viewfinder is also noticeably darker than many of my other cameras — including the Minolta X-370.
Despite these drawbacks, I had fun with the XE-7 and love the photos I took with it. I’m sure a big part of that has to do with the Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f1.4 lens I was testing. I’d heard great things about this lens and it’s living up to the hype, delivering sharp, punchy images and allowing for focusing as close as 1.5 feet.
I did have a brief issue with the mirror of the XE-7 getting stuck in the up position for a few frames. That may be due to weak batteries — the manual says “If the shutter is released when voltage is too low, no exposure will be made on the film, and the mirror will remain up to prevent viewing.” Or it may be due to old lubricant in the camera getting gummed up. I’ll have to get fresh batteries and see what I see.
I was lucky enough to direct the first three episodes of the second season of the paranormal thriller podcast AGENT STOKER, created by Brian Nelson and Chris Conner and co-produced and sound designed by Patrick Hogan — and I’m thrilled to report that it goes live today!

In this unscripted series, we surprised a house party with a delicious late night Denny’s Pancake Breakfast. Under the guise of making a “house party” video for BuzzFeed, our crew had unfettered access to our guests and the location without raising suspicions.
As the revelry crescendoed and the craving for after-hours snacking took over, Denny’s waiters delivered an enticing late night breakfast spread featuring their new pancake recipe. As a result, we were able to capture authentic and candid reactions from dozens of millennials. Their reactions highlighted the taste and texture of Denny’s Pancakes, making viewers’ mouths water as well.
To this day, I can’t watch these spots without wanting Denny’s Pancakes.

After graduating high school, I finally realized that there are some people out there that I just truly don't like or that hurt me to the point that there is no way to fix it and for that reason, we will never ever be friends. Although I pride myself on kindness and open mindedness, some people just need a can of whoop ass handed to them. So last year a young lady I knew quite well moved to my school, and I tried to greet her with kindness and welcome her and instead of just accepting the kindness, she decided she had to be the victim.
She told everyone, all of the people I hold near and dear to my heart that I was saying mean things about her and you know what, the saddest part is she thinks I cared enough to say those things. I didn't have the time to sit down and say stuff about someone who was irrelevant to any situation I was dealing with at the time. So I tried to tell her to stop, and she decided that was mean.
She will never understand how much she truly hurt me. She almost ruined my actual friendships by trying to make herself a victim in a situation that didn't exist. This person single handily almost ruined my senior year of high school, but then I realized what was there all along: who the hell cares?! She is irrelevant. I realized that no matter how much you want to be someone's friend, if all they want to do is play the victim, they shouldn't matter to you.
I guess I'm better off for knowing her because now I know that I don't have to be everyone's friend, and if they are willing to go through so much trouble and try to ruin everything I care about, then they don't deserve me. Also, when she went to my friends, they all immediately told me what was up and that is true friendship. I have the greatest friends and I still love them and they still love me with or without her. I cannot thank them enough for being amazing people and even as I've moved on with my life, they are still so supportive.
Maybe I don't have to be everyone's friend and maybe everyone is not gonna like me, but that's OK. With that being said, if you come at me, I'll clap back.

Music Instruments vied to outdo one another in S. Karthick's ‘Samskruty'.
It was more a lec-dem than a recital per se. S. Karthick's ‘Samskruty' ensemble was more of an infotainment. For those who gathered there to listen to Karthick, heard more of him on the vocal side than on the ghatam! Either he was determined to showcase his oratory skills and the tone and tenor of his voice or he was dampened by the thin attendance to his concert at Ravindra Bharathi. Whatever be the reason, the audience were treated to anything but the ghatam play. Every piece he chose to present was preceded by a preface which meandered into related or unrelated topics and was followed by a demonstration by all others but him. Definitely, the SICA loyalists deserved more than this!
However, the present generation got a lot of inputs in the form of music general knowledge. Like for instance, he gave a broad view of the 72 melakarta ragas corresponding to 72 beats of the heart. It seemed that the percussionist had this penchant to revert to orthodox kucheris of the past. He launched into the konnakkal which was the recitation of mnemonic syllables and was considered more important than a mridangam performance in the good old days. He named it ‘Vaayjaalam', a vocal percussion structured somewhat differently in the second kalam. This was perhaps the best round as the strokes from the kanjira (K.V.Gopalakrishnan) , the morsing (Raman), the tabla (N. Sundar) and the mridangam (Raveendran) not to mention the special effects by Rajagopalan. And the sharpness, clarity and smoothness of the play of syllables were something to marvel. The pace quickened creating an illusion of a fiery contest between all of them.
He delved into the Omkara naadam before singing the sloka to guru composed by him. The morsing's twang prior to the verse followed by a single powerful beat of the two percussions (tabla and mridangam) gave a lasting effect to the omkara and every verse was punctuated by the tinkle of a bell. As Karthick went through the chant in his compelling tone, the mantras got the needed impetus with one of the instruments providing the naadam. One cannot ask for more clarity in the notation as Raveendran produced on his mridangam. The Tiruphzugal verses in Misra chapu were beautifully pious as he spelt out the konnakkal; the Saibaba bhajan in English ‘Why fear when I am here...' was superb. The only snag was that we had less of Karthick the ghatam maestro and more of a vocalist Karthick! The recital was staged at Ravindra Bharathi under the aegis of Sica annual dance and music fest.

MUHC cutting $50M to balance budget
Union representatives say patients will pay the price
Unions representing workers at the McGilll University Health Centre are speaking out against $50 million in expected budget cuts.
In light of the network's anticipated deficit of up to $115 million, officials with the MUHC confirm it is cutting $40 million dollars in expenses and is expecting the provincial government to cut another $10 million from its budget.
In order to achieve a balanced budget, every department within the network ranging from clinical services to administration, must become more efficient, said Richard Fahey, the MUHC's director of public affairs and strategic planning.
Line Larocque, president of the union representing nurses, nursing assistants and cardiorespiratory staff, said she is concerned about the potential impact on patient care.
She said normally they try to accept as many patients as possible including those without appointments.
She said tighter budgets mean staff may not be able to offer as many unplanned services.
"The patient will suffer at the end of it," she said.
Paul Brunet, a patient's rights advocate with the Conseil pour la protection des malades, said patients should not be the ones making the sacrifice.
"I want to see sacrifices in the management," he said.
The MUHC has not specified how it will cut the $50 million, but Fahey is insisting patient care will not be compromised.

Happy Friday cupcakes!
Baker Street* is one of Nails Inc newest nail polishes that has just been launched.
Baker Street is a bright, cobalt blue which i think is perfect for Spring and is a limited edition colour. It is such a striking colour, and unlike anything i owned previously.
As you can see from above, this was painted over french white tips that you can still see ever so slightly with one coat of nail polish, to be absolutely opaque on these i think it would have needed two coats but you could possibly get away with just the one coat on natural nails.
I knew that i needed to get my hands on this ever since i saw the beaut that is Beyonce sporting this on her talons on one of her first outings after having her gorgeous daughter Blue Ivy as tweeted by her manicurist Lisa Logan:
Nails Inc nail polishes are quite large bottles at 10ml each and the consistency was lovely and didnt streak, overall i was very impressed with the glossy finish! Such a gorgeous colour that i cant wait to wear again when the sun has got its hat on!
You can get your hands on a bottle of Nails Inc Baker Street now from Debenhams for £11.
I also have a brand new bottle to giveaway!
All you have to do is be a follower of my blog either by GFC or Bloglovin and leave a comment below! Easy as that! I will inform the winner in 2 weeks time, on the 30th March!
Good luck everyone and thanks for reading as always!

Liverpool "will play in Australia for the first time" as part of its preseason tour this summer, according to Paul Collins of the London DAILY MAIL. The Reds will take on A-League team Melbourne Victory on July 24 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Liverpool Managing Dir Ian Ayre said: "We know we have a large fan base in Australia and New Zealand and this visit shows our commitment to bringing the club closer to our fans all over the globe." The team "will also visit Thailand" as part of its preseason tour (DAILY MAIL, 4/2). In Melbourne, David Davutovic reported Liverpool "arrives just four days after Manchester United plays an A-League All-Star side at Sydney's ANZ Stadium." And the MCG "will cater for Reds fans with the City end set to be renamed The Kop End while the Punt Road end will cater for Victory's active supporters" (HERALD SUN, 4/3).


Naga group NSCN-IM on Sunday urged the Central government to resolve insurgency that has been lasting in Nagaland for decades. However, the outfit also asserted that solutions that do not adhere to the 2015 Framework Agreement will not be acceptable.
“The NSCN-IM said it has been more than five years since the signing of the framework agreement in 2015 between the group’s general secretary Thuingalen Muivah and central government’s interlocutor R N Ravi, who is currently Nagaland Governor, in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi”, PTI reported.
“We call upon the Government of India to be more positive and sincere. We believe there is no human problem which cannot be resolved with human wisdom pregnant with mutual respect and equality as Hon”ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often quoted. We are for peace and progress,” a statement from the outfit read.
However, the NSCN-IM made it clear that “any formulation or proposal from any quarter which is outside the parameter of the framework agreement shall not be acceptable to the NSCN in particular and the Naga people in general”.
The framework agreement came after over 80 rounds of negotiations spanning 18 years, with the first breakthrough made in 1997 when the ceasefire agreement was sealed after decades of insurgency in Nagaland which started soon after India”s Independence. However, the talks with the NSCN-IM is currently going nowhere as the group has been insisting for a separate Naga flag and constitution, a demand rejected by the Central government, PTI reported.


Hot, hot hot! Toronto’s long weekend weather is forecast to heat up the city with temperatures expected to reach the high-20s and feel even warmer.
It might sound like paradise for some as Friday’s temperatures are expected to feel like 32°C with a mix of sun and clouds. And it’s expected to only get hotter from there.
Saturday and Sunday temperatures are forecasted to feel like 34°C and 35°C respectively.
There is a risk of thunderstorms, however, starting Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday, according to The Weather Network.
On Victoria Day, temperatures should see a drop as TWN forecasts a low of 16°C. Temperatures will remain comparatively low throughout next week.
Toronto has been blessed with beautiful, warm weather this past week with temperatures surpassing the 30-degree mark.

I hope my recordings of my own works won’t inhibit other people’s performances. The brutal fact is that one doesn’t always get the exact tempo one wants, although one improves with experience.
More quotes by Aaron Copland
Some twenty years ago, during the course of a memorable evening at the Stravinskys’ home in Los Angeles, the venerable maestro turned to me and said in no uncertain terms: ‘My dear, you should conduct your own music. All composers should conduct their own music!
It made no sense to ignore them and to continue writing as if they did not exist. I felt that it was worth the effort to see if I couldn’t say what I had to say in the simplest possible terms.
A great symphony is a man-made Mississippi down which we irresistibly flow from the instant of our leave-taking to a long forseen destination.
So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
More quotes about Music
What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.
I used my mother’s radio as a PA system. I’d take the telephone, the speaking part, and take those two leads off and lead them into the radio and the sound would come out of the speaker.
What don’t I want to learn? I have how-to books, history, nature. Ain’t nobody here saying, ‘You’d better learn this.’ But I still think I’ve got a head on my shoulders, and it pleases me.
Blues purists never cared for me. I don’t worry about it. I think if it this way: When I made ‘Three O’ Clock Blues,’ they were not there. The people out there made the tune. And blues purists just wrote about it. The people is who I’m trying to satisfy.
When I achieved what I thought the musicians were trying to do, the sound sort of bloomed. When it’s right, everything is beautiful.

Ex-Eagle wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a no-show at this week’s voluntary team workouts, and the Washington Redskins don’t seem to care.
Jackson was the only healthy player not at Redskins Park this week for the first organized team activities of the offseason. But teammates and coach Jay Gruden brushed off Jackson’s notable absence, saying the veteran wide receiver knows how to get prepared.
“The last time I looked up the word `voluntary,’ it is his choice,” Gruden said. “He’s been in the league nine years I believe it is and he knows what type of shape he has to come in. Obviously last year he pulled his hamstring, and people are gonna say he was out of shape, but he wasn’t really. I think he’ll be ready to go.”
Jackson missed six games last season after injuring his hamstring in the opener. After returning Nov. 8, he made 30 catches for 528 yards and four touchdowns.
The 29-year-old has one year left on his contract and is still expected to be a big part of Washington’s offense with quarterback Kirk Cousins, tight end Jordan Reed and fellow receiver Pierre Garcon even after the Redskins drafted Josh Doctston out of TCU in the first round.
