This is a "Real" article from the LA Times Staff Sports Writter ...!!!!..no kidding..Good Luck Mike/Christine



Old Mike, new Christine

By Mike Penner, Times Staff Writer
April 26, 2007

During my 23 years with The Times' sports department, I have held a wide variety of roles and titles. Tennis writer. Angels beat reporter. Olympics writer. Essayist. Sports media critic. NFL columnist. Recent keeper of the Morning Briefing flame.

Today I leave for a few weeks' vacation, and when I return, I will come back in yet another incarnation.

As Christine.

I am a transsexual sportswriter. It has taken more than 40 years, a million tears and hundreds of hours of soul-wrenching therapy for me to work up the courage to type those words. I realize many readers and colleagues and friends will be shocked to read them.

That's OK. I understand that I am not the only one in transition as I move from Mike to Christine. Everyone who knows me and my work will be transitioning as well. That will take time. And that's all right. To borrow a piece of well-worn sports parlance, we will take it one day at a time.

5-minute delay crucial in Tech shooting

Virginia State Police Superintendent W. Steven Flaherty, gestures how he would have "surrendered" to the gunman Seung-Hui Cho during a press conference at Virginia Tech...

Remember...you heard it here first ........

Some police and security experts question the five-minute delay, saying authorities should have charged straight into the melee.

"You don't have time to wait," said Aaron Cohen, president of IMS Security of Los Angeles, who has trained SWAT teams around the country since 2003. "You don't have time to pre-plan a response. Even if you have a few guys, you go."

After the Columbine massacre in 1999, police around the country adopted new policies for so-called "active shooters." Police would no longer respond to emergencies such as school shootings by surrounding a building and waiting for the SWAT team.

Instead, the first four officers rush into the building and attempt to immediately end the threat. This system was used to end a 2003 school hostage standoff in Spokane, Wash.

At Columbine, no officers entered the building until about 40 minutes after the first 911 call from the school. Critics have said that decision might have contributed to the death of a teacher who bled to death from gunshot wounds.

Tom Corrigan, former member of a terrorism task force and a retired New York City detective, said five minutes seems like a long time when gunfire is being heard, but he added it's tough to second-guess officers in such a chaotic situation.

"I would have liked to have seen them bust down the door, smash windows, go around to another door, do everything to get inside fast," he said. "But it's a tough call because these officers put their lives on the line on a daily basis and I am sure they did the best they could." (YEAH...RIGHT).....

Al Baker, a former 25-year veteran in the New York Police Department, echoed that sentiment, but said sometimes officers have to do whatever is necessary to enter a building — whether it's throwing a rock through a window or driving a car through the door. He said the crucial issue is ensuring that officers have the proper training and equipment.

"This is a seminal moment for law enforcement as far as I'm concerned because it proves that minutes are critical," he said.

When Capt. America Throws His Mighty Burrito


Wow.......sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to party with......mag

Florida doctor in superhero costume busted for groping women


The Burrito is the best part...............






APRIL 24--Meet Dr. Raymond Adamcik. The Florida man, dressed as Captain America and with a burrito stuffed in his tights, was arrested Saturday night for allegedly groping women at a Melbourne bar. Adamcik was part of a pub crawl in which participants wore costumes. While at the On Tap bar, Adamcik, 54, allegedly touched the genital areas of two women,

"Because there were so many cartoon characters in the bar at this time, all Captain Americas were asked to go outside for a possible identification," notes the report. One woman positively identified Adamcik as the superhero who groped her. While being booked, Adamcik asked to use the bathroom. It was then, police charge, that he attempted to flush marijuana, which apparently had been hidden in his blue tights. Adamcik was charged with battery, disorderly conduct, and pot possession. He was released after posting $2000 bail

MADISON, Wis. (April 24) - The Wiccan pentacle has been added to the list of emblems allowed in national cemeteries and on goverment-issued headstones of fallen soldiers, according to a settlement announced Monday.

The pentacle has been added to 38 symbols the VA already permits on gravestones. They include commonly recognized symbols for Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism, as well as those for smaller religions such as Sufism Reoriented, Eckiankar and the Japanese faith Seicho-No-Ie.

Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.

Transgender Student Runs for Prom King

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - When school officials announce the name of the Fresno High School prom king on Saturday, Cinthia Covarrubias will be wearing a tuxedo just like the six boys vying for the honor.

School officials this week added the 17-year-old's name to the ballot for prom king, reversing a previous district protocol that allowed only males to run for king and females for prom queen.

Covarrubias, who wears black-and-white Vans, baggy shorts and close-cropped brown hair, sometimes identifies herself as Tony. Her date, a close female friend, plans to wear a black dress and red corsage to the prom at an outdoor reception hall surrounded by man-made waterfalls.

Covarrubias said she was honored her classmates nominated her for prom king last Friday, but administrators quickly dampened her enthusiasm by saying she could only run for queen.

Covarrubias is giddily looking forward to the prom, but acknowledged being a little nervous.

NASA gunman got poor job review

Another NASA Nut -Case--..........At least they realized he was an A-Hole......

HOUSTON - The shooter in an apparent murder-suicide at the Johnson Space Center had received a poor job review and feared being fired, police said Saturday.Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt said Phillips bought the .38-caliber revolver March 18, two days after receiving an e-mail citing deficiencies in his job performance and saying that he was going to be reviewed. (good thing there was a waiting period)

A copy of the e-mail was found in Phillips' lunch bag on the day of the shootings, police Lt. Larry Baimbridge said.

On Friday, Phillips had lunch with Beverly and another man, police said. Then, early that afternoon, Phillips entered Beverly's office with the gun in his hand and said "You're the one who's going to get me fired," Baimbridge said.

After Beverly talked with Phillips for several minutes, Phillips shot him twice. He then returned and shot Beverly twice more, officials said.

Phillips duct-taped a woman to a chair, holding her for hours, police said. Officers entered the room and freed her after hearing the gunshot that killed Phillips..(good job by another SWAT Team....who as always.....enters the scene up after the culprit kills himself ...........HHHMMMM...Do we Notice a TREND here...?????)

Say Prayers for the Blue Angel........

BEAUFORT, S.C. - A Navy Blue Angel jet crashed during an air show Saturday, plunging into a neighborhood of small homes and trailers and killing the pilot, the county coroner said.

County Coroner Curt Copeland said the pilot was killed, but did not release an identification. Copeland said there was a lot of debris at the crash site and described the scene as horrific.

More than 100,000 were expected to attend the air show and the Blue Angels were the main attraction. The elite aerial-demonstration team, which is based at Pensacola Naval Air Station, recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.

Coincidence.........I think Not...!!!!!


An Image’s Ties to a Dark Movie

The inspiration for perhaps the most inexplicable image in the set that Cho Seung-Hui mailed to NBC news on Monday may be a movie from South Korea that won the Gran Prix prize at Cannes Film Festival in 2004.

The poses in the two images are similar, and the plot of the movie, “Oldboy,” seems dark enough to merit at least some further study. Following is The Times’s plot summary:

The film centers on a seemingly ordinary businessman, Dae-su (the terrific Choi Min-sik), who, after being mysteriously imprisoned, goes on an extensive, exhausting rampage, seeking answers and all manner of bloody revenge.

BTW....Do you think it's a coincidence that both Cho and Choi Min sik) are both from South Korea....????????.....Nice Role Model.......

Based on Independent Maggotx research.......

Quotes from the Movie "Oldboy" character Dae-su (bottom picture w/hammer:

Dae-su Oh: Even though I'm no more than a monster - don't I, too, have the right to live?

Dae-su Oh: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.

Dae-su Oh: [Dae-su is about to use a clawhammer to yank out someone's teeth] Each one I yank out will make you age for one year. Ready to talk?

Dae-su Oh: Erasing my memory and telling me to find the truth was cowardly. I won. So die like you promised.

The Face of a Lonely Loser........

Conspiracy Time...!!!!...Why is nobody talking about "Ismail Ax"...???????

'Ismail Ax' sparks web frenzy


All at once, the world went searching for the meaning of "Ismail Ax".

Those two words, written in red ink on one arm of Cho Seung Hui, the 23-year-old Virginia Tech student suspected of the campus shooting spree, set off a massive internet hunt by the public for clues to what might have motivated the nation's worst mass killings.

Almost as soon as the Chicago Tribune's website reported that detail, which was then picked up by news organisations around the world, the blogosphere filled with theories about the possible meaning of "Ismail Ax." Hundreds of bloggers speculated on a link to Islam or to literature; thousands offered their opinions and millions read the commentaries, according to Technorati.com.


Internet users seemed particularly curious about what Cho might have meant by the phrase.

Technorati.com, a web site that tracks the blogosphere, said that by late afternoon Tuesday, there were nearly 300 blog posts regarding Ismail Ax.

The phrase was the 10th most popular search counted by Technorati. With two other terms related to the Virginia Tech killing in its top 10, that meant that millions of people got online and did a search of those or very similar words, said Derek Gordon, Technorati's marketing director.

"To raise into the top 10, there are initially tens of thousands of searches, then hundreds of thousands, then millions," Gordon said.

There were other reactions. A TV repair shop owner in Corpus Christi, Texas, registered the domain name http://www.ismailax.com the morning after the shootings.

BU Student Arrested After Massacre Threat Messages

(CBS) BOSTON Police have arrested a Boston University student who allegedly threatened a woman he dated and claimed he would pull a Virginia Tech-style massacre at her school.

20-year-old Andrew Rosenblum was arrested early Tuesday morning at his parents home in Needham, Mass., hours after he allegedly sent threatening instant messages to the unidentified 19-year-old woman. Boston police say she is a student at Wheelock College.

According to a Boston police report, Rosenbaum wrote:

"i'm gonna (expletive) bring a gun to your school and kill you and (another female student) and everybody you love. It's gonna be VT all over again."

"Seriously I'm just that demented," he continued, according to the report.

"killing people can change people's lives forever," and "the best is in the end when I pull the trigger on myself, too."

The woman called Boston Police after reading the messages late Monday night. Needham police arrested Rosenblum at his home and took him to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

He will be arraigned in Roxbury District Court Wednesday.

Rosenblum is enrolled at two classes at Boston University, according to the Boston Herald, and is also the founder of a video game review show on an MTV Web site.

According to the police report, the woman told police she went on three dates with him before breaking up with him

Maggotx Rant on the 4/16 Massacre


In Memoriam of the Virginia Tech Victims......

As you probably know, I've been out of work due to surgery for about a week now....Although this Blog is usually humorous (or it tries to be) the horrible events at VA Tech have really pissed me off. I was able to watch this event unfold on TV during the entire day. It was startling to watch a videotape in which you could hear shots being fired by the Killer and hear students screaming while watching about one hundred SWAT, Sheriffs Office, FBI, County Police as well as tons of unidentified gun-toting officials doing nothing. This event took place over a 20 minute period. Yet not ONE shot was fired by the large number of police. Thank Gods the Murderer took his own life, because if he hadn't who knows how many more would have died while the police watched.

Normally, I'm a supporter of Policemen, The have a very tough job, but when the community spends HUGE sums of money to equip, train, employ and cater to these Tac SWAT Teams, it would be nice if they showed up for work. They are all so concerned about the "Command Zone", "Containment", "site perimeter", "crisis negotiation", "crisis entry", "Incident Command"...YADA YADA. that they can't see the forest for the trees......sometimes you just have to take action instead of talking about it.......

They all looked really impressive, too bad the only time they broke a sweat was hauling out the poor kids bodies......

Impressive "Looking" SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) TEAM


These are the Guidelines to SWAT Tactical Operations......

  • A zone of operation is established for the exclusive use of the SWAT team to set up a Media Photo Site.
  • As soon as possible, identify the Media Information Center or Command Post site and be prepared to brief the media at the Media Information Center.
  • Generally, containment consists of outer and inner circles. Outer containment is designed to keep the scene isolated from the public and limit the physical expansion of he incident. Inner containment is designed to restrict the suspect's movement from a relatively small area.
  • In advance of a SWAT deployment, perform tactical assessment, several scouts are dispatched from the team to observe the incident site and develop a tactical plan.
  • etc.....etc....
  • Before demobilizing the assault area, carry out the bodies of those you failed to save while planning the assault......

Other Blog Comments on the Useless Armed Manikins

These are posts from other Blogs....which I happen to agree with.......mag

It was Columbine-plus at Virginia Tech (NYT story), as the police proved themselves to be totally useless or worse. They interviewed suspects, secured the perimeter, ordered everyone not to move, and meanwhile and for two hours, apparently, the killer roamed free and started his rampage against unarmed students unguarded by unarmed teachers and administrators. "We can’t have an armed guard in front of every classroom every day of the year," said the chief of police. But they will darn sure arrest anyone who prepares for such an attack by arming himself.

When the police arrived after hearing reports of a massacre under way inside Columbine High School, they did not storm the building to catch the criminals. Instead, these heavily armed officers, wearing their famous coalscuttle helmets, surrounded the outside of the school, "sealing the perimeter," according to their spokesmen. Inside the high school, Eric Harris and Dylan Kliebold were running freely through the halls, merrily killing and wounding unarmed teachers and students as they tried to escape. In the end, the police didn’t even have to fire a shot, as the two miscreants ended their own lives. Thus, people were treated to a worthless show of force by the authorities, which did almost nothing to save anyone caught in the building. Lest one think this was an aberration, it is standard procedure by government forces.

Standard procedure forever and ever.

I think the exact process emergency police services (free market or otherwise) should use to respond to some specific situation ought to be based somewhat on the reality of the facts on the ground. One-size-fits-all tactics is irresponsible. The "lockdown" theory of mass shootings has some big problems with it. It's the same procedure they use for prison riots, incidentally.

The even more repulsive thing is is that they will congratulate themselves. I turned on BBC24 yesterday and the first thing I saw was some police-type guy saying they had done a "good job."

In situations like this, people need to understand that they need to fight back, not cower while hoping not to be shot.

When shots ring out like they did in Virginia yesterday, the police become a very slow reaction force that can do very little to protect anyone. That’s not a rap on police officers, its just the way things are today. Modern, risk adverse, police “critical incident” management techniques like establishing a perimeter instead of immediately taking action to stop the threat, or placing officer safety ahead of protecting the public by waiting for SWAT teams to mobilize, arrive and, maybe, deploy, WILL NOT save anyone who happens to be in a kill zone when the shooting starts, or comes under fire two hours after the first murders as we saw yesterday.

In 1966 two police officers and a hastily deputized armed citizen at the University of Texas took immediate action and killed a sniper in a clock tower who had murdered 13 people.

A generation later at Columbine the large number of police who responded there were not permitted to enter the school for hours. While police managers marshaled their resources and made by-the-book risk assessments, the cops they ordered to sit tight behind the barricades listened to gunshots and ignored calls for help from trapped students and teachers who later bled to death from their wounds. By the time the SWAT teams moved in, there was nothing left to do but help ship the bodies to the morgue.

Good job Virginia PD. Your incompetence allowed 32 kids to die. It's ok the flood of lawsuits will ferret out the good for nothing cops that were in charge today. It won't bring back those kids though. First in Columbine we saw fat assed cops shivering in fear while kids were killed. Today the cops did nothing. Didn't shut school down after first incident. The school President (Dr. Charles W. Steger) says it did its duty and "emailed" a warning to students. Today Virginia failed its children.

Good thing he shot himself......or the police would have allowed him to kill many others.

Please Explain this to me....?????

MURDERER......!!!!!!!

ARE YOU Friggin KIDDING ME......How can one nerdy looking punk kid like this kill 32 people without some of the intended victims rushing him..?????..He only had a 9mm Glock pistol and a 22 cal. pistol....???? ..he had to reload both guns......the 22 needs a head shot at close range to kill......what were these people doing letting him line them up for execution....????...the killing lasted for 21 minutes.....where were the police. and SWAT units..they DID NOT Anything..until after the killer shot himself..!!!!!!!!!!!

.. at 7:15 a.m. , when the first shots were fired at there were tons of cops on campus.....they investigated the 2 person murder scene and speculated it was a murder suicide....even though NO GUNS WERE FOUND!!!....at 9:15, Two hours later, the shooting began at Norris Hall where the other 30 people were murdered by the same gunman..at 10:00 the University notified the students to stay indoors and away from windows....AFTER IT WAS OVER.........good call..............

Eagles get Screwed for $3M by one of their Top Players...!!!!!


Eagles gave Westbrook bonus twice accidentally

April 14, 2007

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --Brian Westbrook received an extra $3 million from the Philadelphia Eagles in an accounting error.

The star running back intends to pay the team back after getting his roster bonus twice. However, the Eagles filed a grievance with the NFL against Westbrook because the money hasn't been repaid yet, a team spokesman said Saturday.

Westbrook finished last season with a career high of 1,217 rushing yards and was sixth in the NFL with 1,916 yards from scrimmage. He signed a five-year contract extension worth $24.9 million during the 2005 season.

New Disc Golf Disc from Innova.....


The Kite was designed to be a long range disc that could almost be classified as a driver. The disc's high dome gives it more glide than, well, a kite. The disc wing has been designed to fly with a neutral to slightly understable flight path. This disc's overall weight distribution is well balanced to allow exceptional rolling capabilities. Great beginner level driver!
Available Weights: 150g, 164-175g
Stability Rating:
Speed: 5 Glide: 5 Turn: -2 Fade: +1

Yes.....This is TRUE.....now you have a Really Usefull Field Guide....


The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification

Working in the naturalist's tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found.

Diner scarred for life after sausage explodes in her face




A woman diner was left with horrific burns after a Portuguese sausage dish exploded in her face. Witnesses described how the flaming chorizo sausage dish burnt out of control when a waiter topped it up with rum at a table packed with people. The meal, served in a ceramic dish, arrived covered in burning alcohol, but the accident took place when a waiter added more.

Some Portuguese restaurants serve dishes in which chorizo sausage is cooked over burning spirits in a shallow terracotta bowl.

In general, high alcohol spirits such as brandy, grappa or rum are used and customers have the meat cooked to their taste at the table.

some "rap lyrics" and translations.....

Lyrics:

And my jam knock in the Mitsubishi

Girls pee pee when they see me, Nava-hoes creep me in they tee pee

As I lay down laws like I lay carpet

Stop it - if you think your gonna make a profit


TRANSLATION:

I enjoy playing my music loudly on my car stereo. Apparently, women enjoy this also because they become sexually aroused when they see me driving. Oddly enough, when I visit the Native American reservations, some of the more sexually promiscuous Indian women attempt to seduce me in their homes. Their intent is to divest me of my earnings. Such actions are unacceptable.

a Stupid Joke


This guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbor's pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is very dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbors are going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed-up rabbit into the house, gives it a bath, blow-dries its fur, and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbor's house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes. A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, "Did you hear that Fluffy died?" The guy stumbles around and says, "Um.. no.. um.. what happened?" The neighbor replies, "We just found him dead in his cage one day, but the weird thing is that the day after we buried him we went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath, groomed him and put him back into the cage. There must be some real sick people out there!"

Miscellaneous Jokes.....We Insult everyone equally

Married Joke

A man and his wife are dining at a table in a plush restaurant, and the husband keeps staring at an old drunken lady swigging her gin as she sits alone at a nearby table, until the wife asks,

"Do you know her?"

"Yes," sighs the husband, "She's my ex-wife. She took to drinking right after we divorced seven years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" says the wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

Italian Mother Joke

Mrs. Bacciagalupe comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner. Anthony lives with a female roommate, Maria.

During the course of the meal, Momma can't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of the relationship between the two, and this made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than meets the eye.

Reading his Mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Mama, Maria and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Maria comes to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

"Well, I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her, just to be sure." So he sends his Mom an email:

"Dear Momma, I'm not saying that you took the sugar bowl from my house, and I'm not saying that you didn't take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love,
Anthony"

Several days later, Anthony receives an email response from his Momma.

"Figlio mio, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Maria, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now."
