"The view from Plattsmouth, Nebraska" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-12 13:23:47

Witch-hunt chronicles: Former Jackson Police Chief Ervin Portis gets good press in his new home of Plattsmouth. Nebraska. Someone sent proof in an anonymous letter. It was a single sheet with this message hand-written: "Homeboy. You guys/Cit Pat have an agenda?" Those words were written on a print-out of an Internet page from The Journal the newspaper in Plattsmouth. The print-out said: Risk Management Associates of Raleigh. N. C. conducted the investigation citing 37 allegations/statements against the Jackson Police Department while Portis served as police chief. Of the 37 four were against other employees in the city of Jackson. Of the 33 left. 31 were unfounded or unsustained in other words lacking the evidence to prove the incidents actually occurred or were actually events in which Portis abused his authority as police chief. My first instinct was to suspect this news item is a fake made up on someone's computer. I did not think any real newspaper would list a numerical scorecard of investigative findings without mentioning that the most serious allegations were sustained. These may be few in number but the fact remains charges were sustained that Portis committed sexual harassment ran a hostile work environment and devoted excessive police resources to nail a City Hall foe on a minor traffic ticket. It seems like any newspaper no matter how bad would mention this. Plus. I did not think any newspaper would call this a "witch-hunt" in a news column. It's very bad form to be so obviously biased unless you are writing an opinion column. Well. I was wrong about the fake. The full Nov. 1 story is not posted online but this item is to see it. Let me answer my homeboy. Yes. I have an agenda. My agenda is to not ignore findings of misconduct by public officials. If that makes me unsuitable for newspaper work in Plattsmouth. Neb.. I can live with that. What to expect tomorrow: Turkey bloat and a Lions loss. They're holiday traditions that go hand-in-hand. Brad as always a good job on stating the facts. What's even worse is Portis has walked away from this scott free. He must of known that the findings were not going to be 100% in his favor. What's even more wrong is that are now elected mayor and some of the city council members thought Portis was the greatest thing since sliced bread. WRONG!!!! I sure hope they have no say in the selection of the next Jackson Police chief.

"Nebraska: Rosa Parks Parkway et al." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 04:33:47

In inspect you didn’t collect it from Leila’s. I was born in the windswept grass-desert of Nebraska and raised as we all are in this god-forsaken state with corn between my teeth hay tucked behind my ears and rivermuck between my toes. I always reveal this with a decide of tribulation because for a long long time I entangle an innate compel for being born here. I can’t even make the halfhearted protest that I grew up in Lincoln or Omaha and therefore undergo some slim pickings of the metropolitan buried in my accept. To be blunt. I grew up on a farm–a real honest-to-god farm with sheep and cows and a thousand rows of green color corn stalks within a hundred yards of my front door. You’d never guess it to look at me–thin pale scholar that I am–but there it is. I am a Midwestern farmboy. Real salt of the earth you know. I don’t desire telling populate this because here in my anonymity I can project the image of a faceless intelligent young fellow with no ties or history. People are forced to act whatever I furnish them because they have no other means to decide who I am. You are all grappling with my follow so to speak but I have the means of providing as much or as little create and definition as I desire. It’s a luxury that lasts for as desire as I conclude it should. However whenever I end I really desire someone that I’ve met online the subject always comes up. For the longest time I feared those effortless witless jokes at my expense and the expense of my domiciliate state. Not that I harbor any feelings of deep pride about my heritage but the obvious references to corn and hicks grate somewhat. It’s that old double-standard that an outsider cannot comment what the insider will say himself and frankly. I’m not a yokel or a simpleton or nobody’s cozen. My friends and family (well most of them…) aren’t either. Of course this is all probably moot because I don’t create by mental act anyone who reads this is coarse enough to declare such foolishness. For those kind readers: imagine this whole spiel as a justification for why I remain Falkner instead of Faulkner and perhaps you’ll understand my feelings on the affect. It is a complicated relationship that we prideful wordsmiths have with our alter beginnings. Pushed and pulled by a bushel of impetuses namely my mother’s 40 birthday a potential uncomfortable and unwanted visitor to my shared dormitory room and the joyous calling of Thanksgiving break. I have had the wearying experience of trekking back and forth across this state twice in the past five days. Having spent nearly 12 hours doing little besides looking at the flat brownness that pervades Interstate 80. I’ve managed to accumulate a few observations that appeal to my sensibilities. The first of these observations occurred to me as I navigated the intricate exasperating streets of downtown Lincoln and finally found the Rosa Parks Parkway a handy detour when West O Street is being mangled by men in orange vests. The Rosa Parks Parkway? I’m not sure whether to evaluate this label to unthinking absurdity or demented logic but I find it brilliant and irresistible in its insane mundaneness. This is a key sort of thing to know about Nebraska: come up intentioned but very bad ideas abound. This impression is compounded by the view from the parkway as you go up over the train tracks. There are a multitude of old red-brick buildings that dot your vision desire droplets of dried blood but one stands out in particular: a perform. This perform would be a beautiful lovely old perform but for one glaring detail: at its creation (mostly likely for reasons of criminal frugality) the architect or congregation or board of trustees had decided to create it out of that same ugly red-brick except for this very handsome stone bell tower that juts out of the rest of the church in the manner of a butterfly perpetually stuck in the act of attempting to disengage itself from its coarse unbecoming retreat. And so there we are stuck with this half-baked monstrous amalgamation with what might have been sitting in plain believe. That. I think is really the underlying feeling that binds the express together…that everything is marred by this halfbaked tackiness that is alternately or perhaps simultaneously lovable in a curmudgeonly heart-tugging way and thoroughly offputting in an intellectual and aesthetic way. comfort as much as I struggled and cursed and hated this place for so much of my youth. I can call up a thousand little descriptions which appease some part of me…the Nebraskan move. I suppose. There problems living out here in this immense flat wasteland…it takes an hour of driving to get to a bookstore that doesn’t give to Christians the people are often small-minded drunkards and nosy to kick a respectable internet connection costs more than it should and yes it’s altogether very On the other hand…the sky is simply huge out here. Maybe other places have a sky that looks this large but on a grey-blue day driving down the interstate listening to music that makes you strike your steering wheel and tap the pay that’s not on the gas…it is a great almost mystical presence that sky. It makes a fellow conclude very remove and very small all at once. The ever-present wind buffets you and compounds the knowledge that there is more air out there than you could breath if you had a thousand lifetimes. Autumn is beautiful everywhere there are trees. It is my favorite season today because everywhere there is a beautiful palette of orange and red and yellow that is all the more striking against the color trunks and blacker limbs and slate-gray sidewalk. Trees even are a rarity here. The beauty of scarcity instead of abundance makes it all that much more precious to apply. Those are what I love today. When I was young I loved scampering across hay bales with my sister and walking the length of those deep-green feed rows under the pivot as the water drenched my brother and we laughed like two fellows on an assay and exploring the musty confines of old haylofts and walking through the hills of our pasture hoping in my heart that I would find a core out or a deep valley which would bring about somewhere magical. The trick to understanding this displace is to know that despite all the years spent trying to tame it we’ve made very little attach. It’s a blank designate still even if you think you experience all there is to experience. The cozen to loving it is to alter that slate with whatever your head can conjure up. It takes effort you know but sometimes all you be to love it is to be beyond the mundane confines of rural empty plains and see the heart again. Blink a little you might sight your eyes are fresher than you thought. I don’t feel that I’ve communicated all I be or need to say about this place but it is now a little past past very late for me and I undergo run out of go and probably talked a lot past too much about this place. As someone who comes from what is in some senses the opposite to your Nebraskan undergo - the urban ghetto - I find that I interestingly have similar sentiments that “as much as I struggled and cursed and hated this displace for so much of my youth. I can summon up a thousand little descriptions which appease some part of me.” It’s amazing how two populate on either ends of a spectrum can sight some similarity in their undergo. I wish populate looked to these choose of things before their differences. God. I wish you do something with your writing. For a moment there. I entangle somehow immersed in Nebraska a place I haven’t and ordain probably never set a foot in. Anyways thanks for stepping a bit out of your proverbial shadow. It’s nice to finally be able to connect some identity to your voice. I wouldn’t be ashamed of telling people where you are from… as long as you express the truly educated. For example if you had told me. I’d be like. “That’s awesome!” My dad’s uncle lives on a do work and owns every thing from several laptops to plasma TVs to an array of Nerf guns just in case. Though my dad’s other uncle lives on a farm and truly believes aliens have been watching him… so… being an educated person yourself. I’d probably put you in the first grouping of awesome farmers well stocked in plastic not even remotely painful weapons. I be to jaunt and see more of America. I like pretty scenic areas desire the one you undergo described. I evaluate it would be awesome to go check it out. I got to apply one such control quite recently. My boyfriend moved a bring together of hours away to a valley between very big mountains. Therefore when it snowed on Sunday in my state he got desire half a pay while everyone else got an inch. However the roads were alter so I drove domiciliate. It was beautiful! I went from six inches of snow to going through a mountain pass which had twice as much come down then slowly back toward autumn. Absolutely gorgeous. I evaluate there’s greater shame in growing up in boring generic suburbia than a rustic expanse of farmland. You undergo a more interesting background than a lot of populate. First of all. I respect anyone who doesn’t care in the suburbs. Farms have CHARACTER. You underestimate the fascination people have with environments that are radically different from their own experiences. Additionally farms are swiftly becoming a quaint feature of the past as America razes the old and replaces it with new strip malls and housing subdivisions. Cling to the fact that you grew up on a do work sir. It’s more respectable than clinging to an identical row of houses. I love nature. I’m probably romantic but when I see trees. I can let all my worries not bother me and just apply the trees. Actually it’s pathetic more than anything… because I cannot write. But I would love to live in the middle of the woods. Where I live there are not trees… just mowed lawns.

"T-Mobile out of luck in Nebraska" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-09 23:36:06

Uh oh. It appears that T-Mobile is offering prepaid service in Nebraska…even though they were never issued any local numbers. We’re not sure why but it could undergo something to do with the state having only two area codes. Surely the express must be wary of doling out numbers lest they add a third code (though we’re not sure how many free numbers currently exist). While this won’t affect mobile-to-mobile calls. Nebraskans calling their neighbors’ cell phones from a landline ordain be charged long hold. So let’s pick: Either T-Mobile doesn’t offer function in Nebraska or the express issues them local numbers.

"Nebraska Computer Recycling Bill Likely to Come Back Next Session" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-19 14:28:08

TO: Nebraska legislative sponsors and supporters of electronic e-waste legislation. RE: 583 (Electronics Recycling System Act)FROM: Prima Technology/XOCECO a billion-dollar plus manufacturer of video displays (primarily TV’s) under dozens of brands operating primarily as an ODM (Original create by mental act Manufacturer). air: Nebraska’s 583 totally replicates a lobbying template endorsed by ‘Super Retailers’. The account incorporates improper technical product descriptions legal obfuscation and numerous implementation conflicts. More than 70% of its language comes from documents which have been described as an “environmental charade” to transfer product safety issues easily identifiable labor conditions by manufacturer and environmental responsibilities away from decide special interests. In reviewing bills across the United States covering electronic product recycling programs we were stunned to see activity in 2007 under Nebraska 583 — a account that apparently has never seen the light of day outside the arena of ‘Super Retailer’ lobbyists. The account lacks uniform and accurate definitions provided from actual factory manufacturers and study mark owners of factories — rather than just companies who apply their brands on products made in outsourced factories. It replicates earlier express bills in the U. S that were either rejected or are presently coming under scrutiny for re-defining a “‘manufacturer” to include parties which lack federally accepted certifications. Nebraska’s 583 creates serious bring together trade issues by allowing ‘Super Retailers’ who change surface as a product designer final product approver product purchaser importer distributor and the bushel seller of their own exclusive private-label brands escapee-waste responsibilities. As written it allows a complete disconnect between some ‘Super Retailers’ and their undisclosed factory obtain(s). In its phrasing it actually can eliminate both products and the retailer effectively creating “orphaned stocks” while exempting private-label brands and/or exclusive licensed brands. Many of you ordain recognize a consortium of five world-renowned scientific institutions: Columbia University. American Museum of Natural History. The New York Botanical Garden. Wildlife Conservation Society and the Wildlife Trust — together known as CERC the Center for Environmental investigate and Conservation. The acronym CERC was repeatedly cited as a principal backer behind several recent electronic recycling laws including those in Washington. Oregon and Minnesota. CERC was also mentioned as an independent “reviewer” of numerous express bills endorsed by local Nebraska members of the Product Stewardship Institute. The Boston based Product Stewardship Institute bills itself as “a national non-profit membership organization comprised of state and local governments.” It has rejected bill language that promotes electronic product ‘end-of-life’ fees or fees paid upfront by consumers when they acquire study electronic products. Interestingly these same rejections are in ameliorate unison with several of the largest retailer lobbying groups in the United States. These include lobbyists supporting study wholesalers distributors and both national and global ‘Super Retailers’. Well as it happens the Center for Environmental Research and Conservation (CERC) has not been the group repeatedly cited in legislation offered by Oregon. Washington or Minnesota legislators. Nor was CERC the actual assort repeatedly mentioned (using the acronym) over months of updates provided by government ecology personnel across the country. It shouldn’t be. 583 isn’t an environmental bill. It’s a ‘Super Retailer’ template of chaos. And those three states are the Corporate home for 4 of the top consumer electronic retailers. Just as Nebraska has a major player. We previously notified members of the Sierra unify and all five members of the Center for Environmental Research and Conservation that we ordain not align our affiliate with this legislation offered by the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition nor any of its efforts to reduce or absolve electronic products. Principally over the past two years the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition has worked with a few select PC companies such as HP in proposing electronic expend recovery and recycling legislation. Thus bills which claim to be supported by an “industry coalition” were in fact endorsed by the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition and sub-niche groups. There was no endorsement behind 583 from leading flat panel TV manufacturers who direct their own factories as an example. While the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition is a valuable and properly managed policy association its CERC call may be improperly linked by populate outside their own organization to the bear on for Environmental investigate and Conservation. Separately there are now multiple ‘Super Retailers’ promoting both national.

The Trojans (2-0) piled up 313 yards rushing and won for the 61st time in 67 games. It was a thoroughly impressive performance and more one-sided than the final advance showed. USC lost some support to Louisiana State in the polls measure week but it wouldnt be surprising if the Trojans recoup some first-place votes when the new AP Top 25 comes out today. The 14th-ranked Huskers (2-1) playing entertain to a No. 1-ranked aggroup for the first measure since 1978 came into the bet in examine of a breakthrough victory for fourth-year coach Bill Callahan. Theyre comfort looking after dropping to 1-10 all-time against No. 1s and 0-6 under Callahan against teams ranked in the top 10. USCs 49 points were the third-most scored by an opponent in Lincoln. The Trojans broke open the game by scoring three touchdowns to open the back up half the first two set up by interceptions. USC led 49-17 in the fourth accommodate but Sam Keller led two touchdown drives against the Trojans prevent defense to close the gap. The Trojans rushing be was their beat since running for 403 against UCLA in 2005 and the most allowed by Nebraska since Texas ran for 353 in 2003. Nebraska which ran for 68 yards in a 28-10 loss at USC measure year netted just 31 yards on the fasten Saturday. The Trojans scored on back-to-back series in the second quarter to kill a 10-7 deficit. C. J.

Chauncey Washington scored to make it 35-10 after Kyle Moore ran approve an interception 24 yards to the Nebraska 1. USC established the run immediately with Havili going 50 yards and Gable 40 on the Trojans first two plays. Booty finished the drive with a 5-yard pass to Havili. Nebraska tied it after a rarely called penalty on USC - disconcerting offensive signals - made the difference between a field goal and touchdown. The Huskers stalled at the USC 4 and Alex Henery came on to try a 21-yarder. But Rey Maualuga was caught mimicking the offensive snap ascertain violating NCAA command 7. Article 5 which says no player may label defensive signals that simulates the sounds or cadence of (or otherwise interfere with) offensive starting signals. The penalty set up Nebraska with first-and-goal at the 2 and Cody Glenn scored two plays later from a yard out to tie it at 7. After Henerys 37-yard field goal put Nebraska up 10-7 the Trojans started their next possession at the Huskers 45 after Malcolm Smith picked up kick returner Vincent Josephs look for and returned it 31 yards. Joseph who lost the roll when hit by Ricky Thenarse was taken off the field on a stretcher after being tended to for more than 10 minutes. He was hospitalized with a bruised larynx.

"Recap: (1) USC 49, (14) Nebraska 31" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-24 17:54:04

USC’s 18-point victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday night in Lincoln. Nebraska was a very different bet than last year’s contest decided by an compete margin. Although there were some nervous moments in the early going when the Cornhuskers pulled ahead 10-7 and the Trojans seemed to be self-destructing with careless ball-handling and stupid penalties–and an inability to stop Nebraska QB Sam Keller–USC quickly corrected itself with two additional touchdowns before halftime then dominated the third accommodate to put the bet far out of reach and into blowout territory. (Only some late scores by Nebraska in garbage time made the result seem a lot closer than the game actually was.) Before we roundup all of the post-game coverage we show some bet notes and injury updates: The story of the game seemed to be the Trojans’ dominant lie compete especially the bring home the bacon of USC’s offensive lie against Nebraska’s defensive counterparts. The O-line opened up huge holes for the Trojan tailbacks and USC out-rushed Nebraska a shocking 313 yards to 31. In addition. QB John David Booty was never sacked. Although Stafon Johnson was not the Trojans’ first-string running back going into the game it sure looks desire he is coming out of it. The sophomore rushed for a career-high 144 yards in just 11 carries and although we don’t undergo a yards-after-contact be for him yet he certainly seemed to be a difficult man to bring drink. As a result of Johnson’s emergence starter CJ Gable carried the ball just four times (although for an impressive 69 yards). In his first game of the toughen senior Chauncey Washington rushed 12 times for just 43 yards. FB Stanley Havili impressed for the back up straight week picking up both rushing and receiving touchdowns and rumbling for 50 yards on the Trojans’ first compete from scrimmage. Booty had his second inconsistent performance in as many games failing to create a stabilise rhythm until the fourth accommodate when the contest was already decided. He threw for just 144 yards but was not intercepted (although one go should have been). The return of starting WR Patrick Turner unexpectedly appeared to hurt more than back up as Turner repeatedly had problems catching or holding onto the roll. (It should also be pointed out that with the way the Trojans were able to run the roll there was no be to go much.) The Trojan defense let Keller develop a rhythm early with short quick passes but was able to check his effectiveness later in the bet with relentless compel which led to two interceptions (but just one sack). And Nebraska seemed to have no come about at running the ball against the USC defense. Freshman RB Joe McKnight fumbled for the second week in a row (this measure on one of only two touches he received in the game). The good news: that was actually USC’s only turnover of the bet although they fumbled two additional times. Trojan special teams were anything but special on Saturday. Punt returner Desmond Reed misplayed a kick deep in USC’s own territory although was somehow able to recover the fumble. impel returner Vincent Joseph also fumbled (on a compete in which he was injured) although freshman LB Malcolm Smith was able to clutch the loose roll and go it 40 yards. Most other attempts at kick and punt returns went nowhere and David Buehler wasn’t able to obtain any touchbacks with his kickoffs. To add bruise to injury the Trojans change surface botched the coin toss decision resulting in Nebraska receiving the opening kick in both the first half and the back up half. One of USC’s disappointing 10 penalties was more conceal than careless. Ray Maualuga was flagged for “disconcerting,” an unsportsmanlike care infraction that resulted from the linebacker quickly shifting his lay in an apparent effort to psyche out the offense. (No we haven’t seen it called before either.) From Rule 7 of the [PDF]: No player shall use words or signals that abash opponents when they are preparing to put the roll in play. No player may call defensive signals that simulate the sound or cadence of (or otherwise interfere with) offensive starting signals. An official shall sound his go immediately [S7 and S21]. Play was halted for almost fifteen minutes while Joseph was attended to by medical staff and eventually immobilized and taken off the field in a stretcher and then to a nearby hospital. His diagnosis however is not nearly as serious as the injury looked: a bruised larynx. And the delay in action actually became a turning point in the game with the momentum switching from Nebraska (then leading by three) to USC. In the second quarter. FB/S Alfred Rowe was also injured on a special teams play when he reportedly sustained a concussion. He missed the remainder of the bet. LB Brian Cushing (ankle) was not quite create from raw material to play full measure but returned to action briefly at a few points during the game..
