2013 Police Week Experiences
By Frank Borelli - Wednesday May 15, 2013
I didn't used to go to Police Week. There was no excuse. I live within a comfortable driving distance but am not a "city" person. My wife never wanted to go; she was sure that once she visited the National Law Enforcement Memorial then fate would conspire to put my name on it. I'd been an officer for over 20 years before I went the first time... but I haven't missed a year since. Every... -

By Frank Borelli - Wednesday May 8, 2013
Stardate -358501 (July 1, 1964): Gene Roddenberry drafts a proposal for what will become one of the most popular science-fiction series to date: Star Trek .

Bombs at the finish line: what’s next?
By Sara Schreiber - Wednesday May 15, 2013T he month of April was precarious to say the least.

Live Blog: "The Unit" - It's Not a Movie - Day 2
By Jonathan Kozlowski - Saturday May 4, 2013
Like I said I planned in a previous entry ( Day 1 ), I tried the 10-7 post-shift relaxing supplement. It's mechanism is much exactly as the others: three sprays under your tongue, hold for a 10 count, swallow, go on with your day.

Live Blog: "The Unit" - It's Not a Movie - Day 1
By Jonathan Kozlowski - Thursday May 2, 2013
I'm trying something new here. I'm a freak so I'll admit that I will probably go back and edit - however I will try and keep true. This is my version of a "live blog." Meaning, I'm going to try a product and write about my experiences. Right now it's May 1, roughly 1:30 p.m. (central). I've eaten a worthless lunch around noon, had two cups of coffee this morning - which is low for me - and I'm...
