Revision as of 11:19, 11 September 2013
Bursa is a city in the Asian part of Marmara Region, Turkey.
Bursa lies in the northwestern part of Turkey near the Sea of Marmara, about 20 km inland.
Bursa was the first major city the Ottomans, who started as a small emirate in the countryside just east of Bursa, had taken control of. As such, it served as the first capital city of the Ottoman Empire, from 1326, when it was captured from the Byzantines, to 1365, when the capital was moved to Edirne in European Turkey, as sultans started to turn their attention to Europe. Most of the historic sights of the city date back to this early period of the Ottomans.
Today, with a population of more than 2,500,000, Bursa is the fourth largest city in Turkey after Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. It is famous for its peach, chestnut, and silk, although lately, heavy industry located in the outskirts of the city has surpassed these traditional industries.
Furthermore, Uludağ—one of the highest mountains in Turkey—lies very close to Bursa and is the main winter sports center of Turkey.
Get in
By plane
An airport serving domestic and a couple of international flights can be found in Bursa (Yenişehir Airport, IATA: YEI, ICAO: LTBR). However, in order to get to Bursa from most countries by plane, you will have to take a transit flight via one of Turkey's international airports. Istanbul's Atatürk and Sabiha Gökçen are the nearest major international airports, and with a ferry connection, form the most common way of getting to the city.
There are several international and domestic flights to Bursa.
Operated by Anadolu Jet [8] and Borajet [9]
Operated by Borajet [10]
By train
There is no railway in and around Bursa.
However, when coming from Ankara, you can take the high-speed train (YHT) to Eskişehir, which is located about the mid-way, and then transfer to the bus heading for Bursa there, which is provided by Turkish State Railways and departs right in front of the station. This combined trip takes around 4 hours (as opposed to 5 and a half hours by bus only), and there are seven fast train departures daily from Ankara.
By car
Highways that are fairly wide and in good condition connect the city to north (D575/E881, from İzmit, Yalova, and Istanbul, the shortest route from last of which involves taking a ferry to Yalova), west (D200/E90 from Balıkesir with a connection to D565 from Izmir in the southwest), and east (D200/E90 from Eskişehir and Ankara, with a connection to D650 from Antalya in the south).
By bus
Buses from Istanbul take at least 3 hours to reach Bursa but the trip can take over 4 depending on the traffic and cost about 20 TL. Note that the main Istabul bus station (Otogar) can be a bit overwhelming with many companies on site and no central office; rather it is easiest if you know which company you want to travel with when you arrive and then find their offices. Many companies have buses leaving every hour or even half hour including Kamil Koc, Pamukkale, and Nilufer.
There are bus services from all major cities to Bursa such as Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya. Prices vary from 10 to 50 Euros based on the distance. All intercity buses will leave you at the very modern Terminal Bus Station about 10kms outside the city on the Istanbul motorway. Take the very frequent turquoise coloured mini buses marked 'HEYKEL' (1.25 TL) which will let you off right in the centre of Bursa opposite Ulucamii or the Great Mosque (or alternatively you can take the yellow bus 38 from the terminal into downtown - to return to the bus terminal get on the same bus going in the same direction, as #38 goes in a loop between downtown and the bus terminal - 2.50 TL to buy a ticket, available at many kiosks on the street).
By boat
This is the fastest option from Istanbul:
Take the Yenikapı-Bursa ferry from Istanbul Yenikapı terminal (in the European part of Istanbul near Sultanahmet) to Güzelyalı (80 minutes - 20 Lira).
Güzelyalı is about 20km from Bursa so buses meet the ferry to take passengers to Organize Sanayi metro station (30mins - 3 Lira) in the outer suburbs of the city.
Take the metro to downtown Bursa - get off at Şehre Küstü station for the old section of the city close to the market area (30mins - 2 Lira). The whole journey from Istanbul to the centre of Bursa will take about 2.5 to 3 hours.
It's also possible to transit through Yalova fast ferry jetty, about an hour bus ride (which costs 9 TL pp) north of Bursa.
The ferries operated by İDO [11] can leave from Yenikapı, kabataş, or kadıköy. Tickets can be booked online.
The ferries operated by "BUDO" run only from kabataş to Mudanya and you can take one of three buses to the metro stations.
Get around
The city has a metro line connecting downtown with suburbs in the northwest. There is also an extensive bus and dolmuş network. The dolmuşes in Bursa are more likely to be a normal looking white car with a sign on the roof rather than the yellow minibuses that are common in Istanbul.
The Bursa Metro is called Bursaray - for information in Turkish: Bursaray and a map
Historical Trees
Historical Buildings
Old villages
Turkish Baths
Since Bursa lies on a geologically-active area, the place is rich in mineral waters and accordingly is famous for its traditional baths.
Try the İskender kebap, a dish originated from Bursa. İskender consists of roasted, sliced lamb spread atop diced bread pieces, topped with tomato sauce, served with yoghurt. A similar dish, meatballs instead of sliced lamb only, would be Pideli Köfte which is definitely cheaper and perhaps more delicious. Go to Kayhan Carsisi, very close to Heykel, for best options. Candied Chestnut is the best choice for dessert but sadly you cannot get it from a restaurant.
The cafe at the gardens of Kozahan might be the most authentic place in the city to have a Turkish coffee—which might be what Queen Elizabeth II was thinking, who visited there in 2008.
The best budget hotel you can stay is "Hotel Gonluferah", around EUR 70 per night, but having rooms with great views of the city as the hotel is located on the way to the Uludag mountain.
The telephone code of the city is (+90) 224.
Stay safe
Bursa is a safe city. But of course you should always be cautious if you're wandering alone in late night.
Get out
Other sites and places near the city include

During the 80s and 90s, Leonard and Katie Worth hosted an exchange student from Denmark named Annie Nielsen; in 2011 the couple made a trip to Denmark to visit her....
During the 80s and 90s, Leonard and Katie Worth called Redwood Falls their home.
During that time, they raised a family, and during one special year the Worths hosted an exchange student from Denmark named Annie Nielsen.
The Worths, who now call Cambridge home, have kept in contact with their exchange daughter over the years, and in 2011 the couple made a trip to Denmark to visit her.
The trip truly was a family adventure, as both Leonard and Katie also met up with some of their ancestors in Denmark and Norway while in Europe.
This past Tuesday the couple presented a travelogue of their trip at the Redwood Falls Public Library, providing information about everything from agriculture to art.
"We have always followed our culture and heritage," said Leonard, adding they first started making contact with family in Norway and Denmark in 1989.
Communication began be-tween those in Norway and Denmark and the Worths, and the question kept coming up.
When were they going to make the trip?
In February 2011, the pressure increased, and after making all sorts of excuses, Leonard admitted they ran out of reasons and started looking at prices.
"They even told us they would send money to have us come," said Leonard. "We told them they would not pay for our trip. If we were going to go we would pay for it ourselves."
Katie began watching prices, and determined the time was right for them to pull the trigger.
So in July 2011 they boarded a plane for Denmark from Minneapolis International Air-port and landed in Copenhagen.
Denmark, said Leonard, is about one-fifth of the size of Minnesota, saying if one were to draw a line from the Twin Cities west to the South Dakota border, everything below the line all the way to Iowa would be the equivalent size of of Denmark.
After arriving in Denmark the couple met up with Annie Nielsen who lives in Holbaek, which is also the town where she grew up.
Today, said Katie, Annie works with an after-school program for youth, and she has a family of her own, including two children – one son and one daughter. The couple stayed with Annie and her family, and enjoyed all of what it means to be part of the culture.
"One of the things I was determined to do was have nothing that was made in America from the time we arrived until the time we left," said Leonard, adding he truly wanted to experience another culture.
While Leonard said the European tradition does not include going to church Sunday, Nielsen made it a point to show them the church they attended, as well as the Christian school where her kids were enrolled.
When Nielsen had arrived in Redwood Falls she was not used to attending church, and even though she did not attend regularly, it appears the Worths had an impact on her.
One of the characteristics of both Norway and Denmark was the amount of art on display throughout the nations.
Leonard said he really appreciated that about his visit, adding perhaps that is something we as a nation could learn from for the future.
After visiting with Katie's relatives in Denmark and seeing the sites, the couple boarded a ship bound for Norway. Leonard pointed out the ship served Norwegian food for those heading to Norway. On the return trip it served Danish cuisine.
While both have an agricultural economy, Leonard said Norway's agriculture included corn, not for food, but for the many dairy herds scattered across the countryside.
As guests of their families, Leonard reiterated the fact that they wanted to do things the way their relatives did them.
"We wanted to give a good impression of Americans, be-cause we know that is not always apparent," said Leonard.
During their trip, the couple experienced ethnic food, and at a family reunion ate food, in-cluding moose and reindeer.
Both Leonard and Katie said they very much enjoyed their visit, adding they were glad they finally made the trip and experienced a different way of life.

Radio Systems Corp. has allocated $100,000 through Legacy Parks to support the city of Oak Ridge in building a dog park.
Radio Systems Corp. has allocated $100,000 through Legacy Parks to support the city of Oak Ridge in building a dog park.
"At Radio Systems, we are always looking for ways we can give back to our community," stated Randy Boyd, founder and chief executive officer of Radio Systems Corporation, maker of the PetSafe Brand. "We've seen the incredibly positive impact dog parks have made on communities and we are excited to continue this effort in East Tennessee. We know Oak Ridgers and their dogs will enjoy a PetSafe dog park."
PetSafe will partner with the city to build the dog park within Big Turtle Park on the west end of the city.
"We are delighted with PetSafe's decision to help us build a dog park in Oak Ridge, and greatly appreciate the company's investment in our community," City Manager Mark Watson stated in a news release. "As the owner of three dogs, I look forward to bringing my own pets to the new park on a regular basis."
According to Recreation and Parks Director Josh Collins, the donation helps achieve a long-term community goal.
"The Oak Ridge Dog Park Committee has followed with great interest the construction of PetSafe dog parks in the Knoxville area over last few years, and recently met with Knox County officials to discuss best practices from the county's construction. Construction of an off leash area has long been a desire of the community and will be a major addition to our park system."

If you're running into more and more people who also like doing family history, its not just coincidence. Genealogy is attracting new researchers at an incredible pace. Witness the recent attendance statistics for the RootsTech conference, now the largest genealogical conference in North America.
In his March 25, 2013 blog post "RootsTech2013 Wrap-up Report," Dick Eastman reports "More than 6,700 people from 49 U.S. States (why was no one there from Delaware?) and 17 countries were in the Salt Palace Convention Center for the opening day of the RootsTech Conference on March 21…..That number does not include the nearly 2,000 teen-agers who attended a special "genealogy for youth" session on Saturday…..As if that isn't enough, another 10,000 people viewed classes and events via live streaming online video, and another 4,000 participated by remote satellite broadcast."
Lookout for RootsTech 2014 - FamilySearch plans to expand the sites receiving satellite broadcasts from 16 locations to 600, with an expected reach of 120,000 people!

BLOOMSBURG — Emergency management authorities urged Pennsylvanians on Friday to prepare for a potentially dangerous super storm that could pound the state with damaging winds, several inches of rain and maybe snow, possibly leading to widespread power outages.
As Gov. Tom Corbett declared a disaster emergency, residents were told to stock their homes with enough batteries, water and food for three days in light of the monstrous, slow-moving mayhem predicted to strike the mid-Atlantic early next week.
The brewing weather system involving Hurricane Sandy is expected to pummel the East Coast harder than Hurricane Irene, which last year left hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians without power and eventually led to historic flooding.
In Philadelphia, the mayor told residents of flood-prone neighborhoods to make plans to stay with family or friends and to be packed and ready to leave by Sunday afternoon. Rain is predicted to begin falling in the city Sunday evening, he said, with the heaviest downpours starting Monday night.
"Do not wait until Monday to try to figure out what to do," Mayor Michael Nutter warned.
Sandy is expected to merge with a wintry front to create a mess that some have dubbed "Frankenstorm." The entire Eastern region will be hit with steady, strong and damaging winds and rain for several days, according to federal forecasters. Western Pennsylvania could get snow.

Care & Maintenance tips
- Never drag or push the installed product. Make sure the products are installed in a place of your choice.
- If you want to relocate the furniture in a different place or a new house, just call us, we will do it for you.
- Most spills or marks can be wiped away with a damp cloth.
- For all surfaces in laminated wood colour finishes: Clean with slightly moistened cloth, wipe dry immediately. Not suited for damp locations (kitchen, bathroom etc.). Wipe off wetness at once.
- Mild dishwashing detergent with water will assist in removing greasy marks.
- Rubbing gently with a clean, dry cloth will bring back the brightness of laminates.
- Avoid abrasives as they will damage the surface. Waxes and polishes will dull the natural shine.
- Streaky marks can sometimes appear, particularly on dark colours. If after cleaning as above, the marks remain, an all-purpose cleaner such as Windex or Ajax Spray N Wipe can remove them. Please note: under certain lights or from different angles, wipe down marks may be more visible.
- Laminated surfaces can be damaged by items placed directly onto the surface.
- Darker colours will show scratches more readily than lighter colours.
- To minimize scratching, always place and lift objects from the surface – never drag or slide them across the surface.
- Be careful not to place furniture in direct sunlight. Continuous exposure may cause discolouration or fading over time and might also affect the effectiveness of the adhesive used.
- For all surfaces in laminated wood colour finishes: Clean with slightly moistened cloth, wipe dry immediately. Not suited for damp locations (kitchen, bathroom etc.). Wipe off wetness at once.
- The unit must be put together by a specialist according to the assembly instructions. Hazards may arise in case of incorrect assembly. Take care to use screws and dowels in accordance with the wall characteristics and of sufficient load-bearing capacity. The enclosed wall fixings are only suitable for solid walls.
- Do not use any knives or other sharp objects!
- Remove the protective film before installing the handles or knobs.
- Care instructions for high gloss fronts: ONLY use an extremely clean moist cloth with a soap solution (washing up liquid) for cleaning. The cloths used – preferably seamless cotton cloths (do not use any microfiber cloths!) – must be cleaned and rinsed thoroughly beforehand. Any mineral soiling present, such as grains of sand or dust may result in scratches on the surface.
Traces of wear
Microscopically small traces of wear may arise on the surfaces supplied by us. These are more or less apparent depending on the colour and incidence of light. They do not represent any reduction in the utility value and cannot be avoided. Such traces of wear do not constitute any grounds for complaint and the manufacturer cannot accept any liability in this connection.

Halfway through our mushing instructions, I realized I hadn't been paying attention. The din of 150 barking, howling, leaping sled dogs had overwhelmed my senses.
I apologized to Adam, our guide at Sky High Wilderness Ranch. He patiently repeated a few important rules: hang on - whatever you do don't let go of the sled; keep your foot on the brake, especially when going downhill (as you don't want to run over the dogs); when going uphill, step off the sled and trot behind, still hanging on of course. If you run into trouble, step on the brakes with both feet to stop the dogs, then tip the sled over and plant the snow hook (emergency brake) so the dogs don't run off. I'll come back and help you.
And when you're ready to go, tap the top of your head. Simple enough, I thought.
Nervously tapping the top of my head, I eased off the brake a bit and - whoa, these dogs love to run - I lurched off after the pack.
There were three of us on this sunny fall afternoon, each with a team of four dogs. Once we got away from the cacophony of the compound, the world became a peaceful snowy playground.
Located 30 minutes from Whitehorse in a valley on the shores of Fish Lake, the ranch is surrounded by pristine wilderness. Wildlife is abundant here, as are scenic views of mountains, streams, rivers, and lakes.
The Last Trapper was filmed in the Fish Lake area and used the ranch's Coal Lake cabin for a set in the movie. (see the movie trailer on YouTube)
More than 80 per cent of the Yukon is wilderness. With a population of only 32,335 inhabitants in a land mass approximately the size of California, Tourism Yukon's description of 'unspoiled, uncluttered and uncrowded' is fitting.
Much of the Yukon's most spectacular wilderness is protected by a network of national and territorial parks. It's the largest eco-region in the world.
Home to 25 per cent of Canada's grizzly bears, the world's largest non-polar ice caps and the greatest mass of granite on earth, the sheer magnitude of the Yukon's natural attractions leaves a haunting impression on visitors.
Mushing along on a wide open trail, dressed in full arctic regalia - snow pants, snow boots, gloves, scarf and a hefty parka (borrowed from the lodge and designed for 30 below) - I was overdressed for the balmy zero degrees of the day.
I also didn't realize what a workout dog mushing is, especially in the first 15 minutes before I unclenched a little and got into the rhythm of the run. Before long I was feeling quite at home, peeling off my scarf and gloves and tossing them into the sled.
The end of October in Whitehorse is not prime time for tourists. The long hot days of summer have passed, the last of the glorious coloured leaves have dropped, the temperatures are hovering around zero and the snow has only just begun to fall. It's kind of a nonseason in a region renowned for extremes. We were lucky to have enough snow for our run. We spent an hour or so on the trails and then headed back to the rustic lodge for a cup of tea and a snack.
There is no electricity here. There is propane for cooking, a woodstove for heat and a pair of outhouses 'round the back.
You can stay in one of the comfy lodge rooms for $50 a night or choose from a selection of cabins (starting at $50). It's a charming place. And I never once felt the need to check my iPhone for messages.
After all the fresh air and exertion I was ready for a nap. We had also stayed up half the night searching the sky for aurora borealis from our fabulous digs at Inn on the Lake; an inviting log lodge about half an hour from town. We were the only guests that evening - one of the bonuses of visiting in the off-season.
We had spent the day at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Springs and arrived just in time for a fourcourse gourmet dinner. Then we were left alone to entertain ourselves.
The lodge is stocked with games, music, books, a pool table and a gym. There is also an outdoor sauna and hot tub.
Plenty to keep you busy when the northern lights aren't cooperating.
We tried to stay up all night, hoping to catch a glimpse but I only lasted until 2 a.m. Our host told us the next morning that the best time is between 3 and 4 a.m. I'm not sure if he was joking. I'm used to the sun waking me up in the morning but I slept until 9 and it was still dark. In November the average number of daylight hours is 8.5 and next month it drops to 5.5. Winter temperatures can range from above freezing to 40 below.
But unlike most of us southerners, who whine about winter weather, people in the Yukon embrace the season. Not only do Yukoners survive the long winters, they thrive during this time by creating and participating in some of the most outrageous events and festivals in North America, such as chainsaw chucking contests, Sourtoe Cocktails (complete with a human toe), snowshoe wearing can-can dancers and a hairy leg contest for women.
Like most northern destinations, the Yukon also offers activities such as dog mushing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross-country and downhill skiing and snowshoeing.
But only in the Yukon can you enjoy these activities while exploring the trails and rivers to historic sites made famous by stampeding goldrushers.

In November of 2010, Janet Atherton climbed out of her car and headed into Harris Teeter on Spartanburg Highway.
In November of 2010, Janet Atherton climbed out of her car and headed into Harris Teeter on Spartanburg Highway. Her husband, Chuck, stayed in the car as she ran into the grocery store for one thing. It was supposed to be a quick trip.
Before she could get into the grocery store, Atherton was assaulted and badly wounded. Her attacker stole her purse, but was later apprehended in Greensboro. Atherton woke up in an ambulance unaware of anything that had happened.
In the months that followed, the 80-year-old Atherton testified in court in front of her attacker, had shoulder surgery and finally returned to her duties as a volunteer with the guardian ad litem program. She took a few months to heal before coming back, but even a shattered shoulder couldn't keep her from volunteer work that she loved.
Atherton has been a guardian ad litem in Henderson County for the last 12 years. April is nationally recognized as Guardian Ad Litem Month, and Atherton is a living, breathing example of the passionate people who work with kids in the program.
Guardians ad litem are officers of the court. When requested by the Department of Social Services, the court appoints a GAL to investigate the situation surrounding a child who may have been abused. GALs investigate whether or not the child is being abused as well as the child's home life. They are the voice of the children they're assigned to.
Every one of the kids assigned a guardian is in desperate need for a fighter, Atherton says. They need someone to fight for the best outcome possible. Sometimes that's a reunited family and sometimes it means the children are offered for adoption.
Whatever the scenario, Atherton is a proven fighter. She beat cancer in 2008 and 2011. After the assault, she had two surgeries on her eye and major shoulder surgery.
"That pain is beyond anything that I ever experienced," she said of the shoulder surgery.
Atherton said a previous husband abused her children.
"I thought I could relate a little bit for having children that were abused," she said.
Since her second bout with cancer in 2011, Atherton has lost a son and her husband, and surgery left her without full use of her arm. It has a rod and titanium in it.
None of that has stopped her from helping kids as a guardian.
"You have to fight," she said. "You have to speak up for the children. Somebody has to stand up and fight for these children that are in peril all the time."

Mrs Cambridge is the ultimate team player
Prince William and his Catherine were at the Opening Ceremony for the Paralympics last night. Click here if you missed those pictures. They were back out today for Goalball (this sh-t is CRAZY and you should try and get a game in if you can) and at the velodrome for track cycling. As you can see, Kate had her English colours on, and an extra huge smile, and they did the wave, and they were sweet with little cousin Louise, as if to say....
Forget about Harry! We're the Royal Fairytale, remember?
I mean, Will really could not have chosen better. She will do her duty. She understands her role. She happily plays her part without objection or resentment. This is the ultimate team player. When they call on her, she is there. And it's certainly appreciated by the Queen who...
Would disapprove of extensions?
And this is why you think that "Real" is the answer to Kate Middleton's Hair Fake or Real ...?
I don't know if that's a convincing argument. I don't know, given what the Queen has seen through the years, what with all the drama that's gone down with her kids, and her heir, the one who'll wear her crown when she's gone, wishing he was a tampon warmly tucked inside the folds of his lover, and still granting her approval to their marriage, whether or not a few rows of weave are really going to bother the old lady, you know? She just allowed herself to be seen wearing a HOODIE. The Queen in a HOODIE.
Come on now. Rethink your Kate hair answer. Base it on the hair.

The Auxiliary of Bayhealth Milford Memorial Hospital will host its first fashion and art show at Abbott's Grill next week.
The Bayhealth Milford Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is putting the finishing touches on next week's first "Creative Couture Fashion and Art Show." The event will be held at Abbott's Grill and promises to be a one-of-a-kind fundraiser for the hospital.
"It's going to be a really fun event," said event co-chair Blythe Eggleston. "This is the first time we've ever done an event like this as a fundraiser and we're really hoping that the people will embrace the fresh concept."
The event will begin with a "Meet the artists" reception featuring participating Mispillion Art League artists, including Shirley Conley, Rosemary Connelly, Blythe Eggleston, Sarah Gallagher, Geri Gaskill, Sharon Hepford, Harry Humes, Gervasio Ruiz, Bobbie Rainy, Cathy Serwalt, Joanne Thompson and Cathy Walls.
Each artist is donating a small work, which will be placed on each table and taken home by one lucky person seated at the table. Cards by each of the artists will also be available for sale. Additionally, three artists will be offering to do commission work.
"As an artist myself, I just thought adding artwork to the event would be would a nice compliment to the other elements," said Eggleston. "Three of the artists have even graciously offered to do commission work. So, guests will be able to meet the artists, see examples of what they do and maybe order a rendering of their house or of their favorite local scene."
The fashion show will feature clothing from three Delaware boutiques: Coolspring Cottage of Coolspring, Twilla's of Lewes and Jane and Georgie of Rehoboth. Each boutique will supply a model, who will wear two outfits from her assigned shop.
"We are thrilled to have Sandy of Twilla's to be the fashion show moderator," said Blythe Eggleston of the Milford Memorial Auxiliary.
"The temperature is starting to rise and it is going to be so much fun to see the latest spring clothing trends for this year," said Eggleston.
Abbotts Grill will do double duty as the event location and caterer.
"Abbott's Grill has been great to us," said Eggleston. "The menu sounds so appetizing. There are several different kinds of salad, like chicken and pasta, as well as eggplant parmesan. For dessert, they're even making warm apple crisps with homemade whipped cream."
Tickets for a 50/50 raffle will also be for sale. The event will conclude with drawings for a $50.00 gift certificate to Abbott's Grill and a $150.00 gift certificate from Jane and Georgie.
Abbott's Grill will offer a buffet lunch at noon.
"We're still collecting donations," said Eggleston. "But, so far we have a beautiful bad from Blooming Boutique, a one-month fitness membership and several great gift cards."
Admission for the Creative Couture Fashion & Art Show is $35.00 per person. Tickets may be purchased at Reflections Gift Shop at Milford Memorial, through any member of the Milford Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Board or by calling Cynthia Jones at (302) 270-1842.

After being presented at Monday's Measure L Advisory Committee meeting, a discussion and proposal regarding a "re-visioning" of the committee's scope is set to be presented at Wednesday's 6 p.m. special council meeting.
The directive, drawn up by Mayor Dan Clark with review from City Attorney Keith Lemieux, underscores some of the duties expected of the Measure L committee.
Among the suggestions in the directive and material attached to Wednesday's council meeting agenda is an indication that support from city staff might not be able to continue as currently maintained.
"The cost of this support is not a currently budgeted expense," states the staff report attached to the agenda. "Because of further budget reductions, continued staff support at the current level must be evaluated."
The staff report further notes that the documents were presented at Monday's Measure L committee meeting and noting that "it prompted a great deal of discussion."
Clark's proposal has drawn sharp criticism from both committee members and the public over the future role the committee will play in reviewing Measure L revenue and expenditures.
An executive summary from Lemieux addressed to Interim City Manager Dennis Speer notes Measure L's history and suggested guidance for the committee in the future.
"We conclude that the purpose of the Measure L Committee is to provide an annual report that documents whether or not money collected through Measure L was spent on the purposes identified by Measure L," Lemieux states. "We conclude the purpose of the committee is not to review or examine other unrelated aspects of the City budget."
The correspondence further notes that the committee serves at the city council's leisure and that "the city council has authority to remove and replace individual members of the committee before the end of their term by a majority vote of the city council."
The correspondence, in its overview of Measure L's history, notes that the ballot measure was passed as a method to develop much needed revenue sources. The measure itself is a general sales tax fund that raised the city's sales tax by 3/4 of a cent effective Oct. 1, 2012.
Lemieux notes that since the measure is a general tax fund, "there is no legal requirement that money collected through Measure L be spent on any specific government purpose." Any requirement to spend money generated by the measure on police and streets is "self-imposed."
Leading up the June 5 elections, the city council and many community members, including Clark, campaigned that the measure would only be used to fund public safety and streets.
The committee — then dubbed a Citizens Oversight Committee — was part of the package, to be established as a means to oversee and review expenditures and revenue in an advisory capacity.
Lemieux notes the concern the committee has in the reach of its scope, including its assumed role in reviewing the city budget to ensure normal funding is not stripped from police and roads and backfilled with Measure L money.
"In our opinion, this exceeds the scope of the Measure L advisory committee," the executive summary states, noting that it was limited to making sure Measure L money was spent on promised services. "The committee's authority is limited to preparing a report that addresses this question on an annual basis."
Lemieux's summary notes at the end that the comments were directed toward the committee members, not the public in general. It further states that all citizens, including committee members, had a right to review public records.
"However, in our opinion, it is inappropriate to use City resources to do so in the context of the Measure L Committee," the summary states.
When the mayor's directive was brought before the committee on Monday, it held similar language,
Some committee members objected.
Committee member Scott Garver, a Kern County deputy district attorney, noted that the language in the ordinance governing the Measure L committee establishes its members role as reviewing real time data as it comes in, not after the fact.
Vice chair Phil Salvatore saw the directive as a veiled threat: behave or else.
In addition, the committee raised the concern that limited staff support, provided once a quarter, would effectively hobble its role in overseeing the Measure L expenditures.
However, in a letter provided along with guidelines for the committee's "re-visioning," Mayor Clark apologized to the committee for a lack of guidance from the city leadership. Clark wrote that the "city did experience a serious lack of consistency in leadership," citing the departure of a city manager and finance director and election of a new council and mayor.
"These management transitions have been counterproductive to a shared working relationship," Clark wrote. "We want and need you to be successful, and to that end, we will do what is necessary to support your efforts."
The largest question from the public during that meeting was whether the committee required guidance, pointing out the committee's semi-independence granted them authority to review data as needed.
The staff report to be presented by Speer, the interim city manager, advises the council to consider discussion.
"In an effort to address these concerns and related issues, the Council is encouraged to consider and discuss the re-visioning document," states the staff report.

Most research on memory loss in the elderly focuses on dementia, Alzheimer's disease or other brain diseases.
But neuroscientist Emily Rogalski from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine knew there is great variation in how good memory is in older people. Most have memory loss to varying degrees, but some have strong memories, even well into old age.
Rogalski wanted to know just how good. So she began recruiting volunteers age 80 and up from the Chicago area to test their memories. The study appeared in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society.
The volunteers came into Rogalski's memory lab and were given a barrage of tests. Rogalski says she told the participants: "We want individuals who are over age 80 to perform on memory tests like 50- to 60-year-olds, or better."
Participants had to memorize a list of random words and recall the words some time later. Or they listened to stories and were later tested on the many small details in them. "The memory tests were very hard," says Lou Ann Schachner, 84, who volunteered for the study along with her 81-year-old husband, Jay.
What Rogalski found was that some of the elderly participants had outstanding memories; they did as well as — if not better than — people in their 50s.
But such individuals who do really well on the memory tests are not common, she adds. Of those who came in to have their memories tested, only about 1 in 10 had exceptional memories. This group Rogalski calls "superagers."
Once this group of superagers was identified, Rogalski was eager to find out what explains their exceptional memories. Her first step was to see if the brains of the superagers looked any different than those of other 80-year-olds.
Each superager was given several MRI scans. Rogalski then analyzed the brain pictures, exploring the outer layer of the brain called the cortex, which is critical for thinking and memory. The cortex is comprised of dense layers of nerve cells, and its thickness indicates the health of the brain.
In Alzheimer's, for example, the cortex gets thinner and shrinks. But in the superagers, Rogalski says, "What we found was quite remarkable. We found that the [cortices of] individuals who are superagers look more like those of 50- to 60-year-olds." There was no significant thinning or shrinkage of the cortex in the superagers, compared to people 20 or 30 years younger.
At first, Rogalski didn't believe what she had found. So she analyzed the MRI scans again, confirming the findings.
"Then we found something even more surprising, which was even harder to believe," she says. "In an area called the anterior cingulate of the brain, it was actually thicker in the superagers than it was in the 50-year-olds." The anterior cingulate is a small brain region important for attention and memory.
A youthful cortex and thicker cingulate suggest to Rogalski that these two brain regions have been spared the typical age-related shrinkage, which may be what protects against the memory decline seen in most elderly people. Superagers also have fewer risk genes for Alzheimer's than typical 80-year-olds, she notes.
But there may be other explanations for the exceptional memories of these superagers. Perhaps they've always had bigger brains; maybe they have an excess of reserve that the majority of elderly people do not. Another possibility, Rogalski says, is that the memory of a superager declines much more slowly.
To check out these possible explanations for why 1 in 10 individuals over age 80 has an exceptional memory, Rogalski has recruited 30 more 80-year-olds with exceptional memories. She's currently in the process of analyzing their brain scans.
So stay tuned, she says. But for now, the take-home message is that the loss of memory as we age is not inevitable.
It is definitely Monday on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm David Greene.
In Your Health today, two stories on the aging brain. There's been a lot of scientific research focusing on memory loss in the elderly due to dementia or Alzheimer's disease. But in a provocative new study, researchers have flipped this around. They're looking at a group of seniors who've retained strong memories, similar to people two or three decades younger.
Now, as Michelle Trudeau reports, the scientists are trying to understand why.
MICHELLE TRUDEAU, BYLINE: The Schachners just celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary last week.
LOU ANN SCHACHNER: I'm Lou Ann Schachner. I'm 84.
TRUDEAU: And Jay Schachner?
JAY SCHACHNER: I'm 81.
SCHACHNER: I'm the older woman here.
TRUDEAU: The Schachners are just two volunteers in an ongoing study at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, directed by Emily Rogalski.
EMILY ROGALSKI: I'm a neuroscientist by training.
TRUDEAU: Rogalski studies memory in the elderly. There's great variability she says in memory as we age. And she wanted to know why some elderly have strong memories, while others - most others - do not. So she set-out to find elderly individuals with exceptional memories for their age. To test their memories, she raised the bar pretty high.
ROGALSKI: We said we want individuals who are over age 80 to perform on memory tests like 50- to 60-year-olds, or better.
TRUDEAU: Of the volunteers over age 80, only about 10 percent had exceptional memories.
ROGALSKI: So it kind of tells you that this is a little bit rare.
TRUDEAU: The group, average age 83, Rogalski calls super-agers, like Lou Ann and Jay Schachner. Their memories are as strong as people 20 or 30 years younger than they. Jay was a patent attorney; retired but got bored. so took up tax law. And at 81, he goes to work every day.
SCHACHNER: It gives me a chance to meet people and it's challenging. You talk about mental stimulation, keeping up with all the changes in the tax laws is a challenge in itself. But it's fun. If it weren't fun, I wouldn't do it.
TRUDEAU: Researcher Rogalski wanted to find out if there is something unique about the brains of Jay and LuAnn and the other super-agers
ROGALSKI: And so we asked a very simple question.
TRUDEAU: Do the brains of super-agers look like the brains of younger individuals? First, Rogalski used MRI to explore the cortex, that part of our brains central for thinking and memory. Its thickness varies from person to person.
ROGALSKI: And if we measure the thickness of the cortex, it gives us a proxy measure of the health of the brain.
TRUDEAU: In Alzheimer's, for example, the cortex gets thinner.
ROGALSKI: We also know, through the course of normal aging, the cortex shrinks.
TRUDEAU: But the cortex of these super-agers had not thinned, but rather showed something very different.
ROGALSKI: And what we found was - quite remarkable, in that we found that the brains of individuals who are super-agers look more like those of 50- to 60-year-olds.
TRUDEAU: A thicker cortex in these 80-year-olds is associated with a youthful memory. Well at first, Rogalski didn't believe it.
ROGALSKI: And then we found something even more surprising, which was even harder to believe, was that in an area called the anterior cingulate of the brain...
TRUDEAU: An area important for attention and thus for memory.
ROGALSKI: ...it was actually thicker in super-agers than it was in 50-year-olds.
TRUDEAU: A youthful cortex and a thicker cingulate may be related to why these super-agers are spared memory decline.
Genes too may play a role, Rogalski says, noting that the super-agers also have an important gene profile - they have fewer risk genes for Alzheimer's than typical 80-year-olds.
CLAUDIA KAWAS: I think that's very titillating.
TRUDEAU: Neurologist Claudia Kawas directs a study on 90-plus-year-olds at the University of California, Irvine. She cautions this new research on super-agers is small, with only of 12 individuals. But...
KAWAS: It suggests that they have found a biological correlate of the incredibly good cognition that these individuals have.
TRUDEAU: Kawas wonders though if these super-agers may have always had bigger brains, had an excess of reserve that others don't have. Or, that their memories may be declining much more slowly. Emily Rogalski is seeking explanations too, and so has recently recruited 30 more 80-year-olds with exceptional memories. She's in the process of analyzing their brain scans. So stay tuned, she says. Then adds, for now, the take-home message is that loss of memory as we age is not inevitable.

I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
peterfarrington: Anyone interested in the Non-Chalcedonians should give the lies, deception and untruths published at orthodoxinfo.com a wide berth. It is doing Satan's work.
peterfarrington: Likewise I fail to see how someone with a PhD would consider the best source of evidence about what someone believes to be writings by a completely different group of people. If I was asked for pointers to EoO teachings why would I direct people to a Baptist website for instance.
peterfarrington: I would respectfully ask you to butt out of this thread Linus if you are going to continue trying to send people to sites whose material is not at all what the OO and especially the Coptic Orthodox, believe.
As you well know, the Baptists did not secede from the Holy Orthodox Church in the 5th century as did the Non-Chalcedonians.
I'm with the camp of 13 million Americans that believe politicians are, or are controlled by, Reptilians. I think only monks can solve this problem. It doesn't seem right that they prefer to ignore it.
Excuse me if I have an ignorant question to pose, but I had read many years ago in a book on liturgy I found in the local university library that the Coptic Orthodox do not display their Holy Icons except during the Great Lent or perhaps the Pascal Season or both. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
No...this is incorrect! We Copts use icons and an iconostasis very much like the EO. In Christ,Raouf
PF:I'd value prayers for the journey, and for rest and refreshment, and well behaved kids
hbmincey:From what I have seen and read both from the majority of OO AND EO sources, it seems pretty clear that both profess the same faith
I do feel that given time and with God's guidance, that the OO and EO will be reconciled. At least thats my hope and prayer.
I really do not know what I am talking about , but could anyone post some good links telling about the basics of non-chalcedonian churches, and the way they work. just general tradition, and who is involved or any useful information, as I would enjoy learning about oriental orthodoxy.
jbc1949:Well I must be losing it! I am sure that I read this somewhere. Could this possibly be true of other non-Chalcedonians? The Abyssinians for example?
Let me flip this for you so your seemingly feeble mind can grasp what Peter is trying to say. Would you go to an OO site and post articles from them re: the beliefs of the EO church? Because that's exactly what you're doing here, especially posting articles from a site that would probably think you aren't Orthodox either. But we don't know that because you won't tell us what communion you belong to.
Linus,This site is an Orthodox site. It's not "primarily Eastern Orthodox" or "primarily Oriental Orthodox". Its membership is primarily Eastern Orthodox, however.The stated policy of this site has always been that Eastern and Oriental Orthodox may disagree with one another politely on this board, but may not call each other heretical. What is allowed are scholarly critques.In one post above you mention "the EO position" in reference to some articles hosted on orthodoxinfo.com. I would submit that the "EO position" on this is not unified, but that more EO subscribe to the statements of the joint OO-EO dialogue than those who do not. Do you read these statements? Are you aware of the proceedings?anastasios
This forum is for Non-Chalcedonian discussion, it is not for the subversion of folk who show an interest in Oriental Orthodoxy by suggesting sites which are filled with material that is untrue and full of error.No-one should be silent if materials are erroneous, why should I be quiet just out of politeness. The materials at orthodoxinfo are doing Satan's work if they propagate lies, and they do.
Well I must be losing it! I am sure that I read this somewhere. Could this possibly be true of other non-Chalcedonians? The Abyssinians for example?JBC
Not to my knowledge. I visit the local Ethiopian Church quite frequently and they have their icons up all the time. This also seems to be true of the Armenian, Syrian, and Indian Churches I have visited. Maybe this is coming from the ACE?
Anyone interested in the Non-Chalcedonians should also check out the articles at http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/ea_mono.htmand the Catholic Encyclopedia articles at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05633a.htm and http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03555a.htm .There are further links provided in those articles that are worth looking into.
Just a minor point of clarification: the OrthodoxInfo site is part of the True Orthodox Church of Greece under Metropolitan Cyprian (www.synodinresistance.gr). They are in communion with ROCOR.anastasios

First off: I'm blown away by how enormous that man is...
He came over after I said "Hey Kam! Go Hawks!" Super nice guy and took a sec to shake my hand. I said we've got a big season ahead of us, to which he replied "We've got unfinished business."
I mentioned his new contract and he said "They're workin on it as we speak!" with a big smile on his face. Sounds like he really is the next in line for a nice extension.
Random encounter, but what a good dude for taking a minute for a fan.

Here are my versions of the reassignment below.
The thing I couldn't figure out about Tiny Toons, was why use the WB characters at all? And then change their names, ages and even genders. Why not just create new wacky characters? It's just asking for trouble to draw comparisons to the original Looney Tunes - which can't be topped.

Column published Nov. 23, 2012 in The Mexico Ledger
100 Years Ago
"A check for $261.80 issued in June 1908 by W.H. Morris, as Circuit Clerk of Audrain County and payable to J.C. Foreman, was presented at the Savings Bank Friday for payment. When Mr. Morris went out of office, he asked Judge Barnett to authorize him to pass the money for the check to his successor, the present clerk, D.F. Elliott, because it remained unpaid. After referring the matter to Attorney General Major the money was placed in the hands of Mr. Elliott. J.C. Foreman, to whom the check was made out, died three weeks ago on his farm near Rowena, and his administrator, Sam Foreman, endorsed the check for payment. Mr. Elliott however refuses to honor it until Mr. Foreman comes before the Circuit Court and explains the long delay in presenting the check and prove his appointment as administrator of the estate. The check was deposited by C.W. Moorehead to satisfy a deed of trust. It is a most unusual case. ... This fine weather may be good for the farmers, in fact, it is, but not so for Collector S.A. Pulis. This year Mr. Pulis collected only $123.58 taxes more than he did last year, although he visited three places not on his 1911 list. The total collections on the trip this year was $4,577 while last year he collected $4,454.12. In every place except two, the collector got less this year than in 1911 and at the other two places the increase was very small."
50 Years Ago
"A million-dollar expansion program at the Audrain Hospital will include construction on the Jackson Street side of a new 78-bed chronic disease wing, plus construction on the Monroe Street front. Administrator Keyton Nixon outlined the plans in a talk today at the Rotary Club luncheon meeting at the Hotel Hoxsey. Construction drawings are to be completed by Jan. 1, he said, and bids opened the first or middle of February. Construction should commence with good weather, and will take from 18-20 months, Nixon said. Biggest item in the additions is a 78-bed chronic disease wing, a four-story section on East Jackson Street, matching the wing built there in 1952 and extending in the west about 154 feet in length. There will also be construction on the East Monroe Street front of the hospital with the addition of a one-story section across the full grounds from Hoard Street on the east to the hospital drive on the west."
25 Years Ago
The recently concluded 1987 firearms deer season ended with a record number of deer killed in the state, said Charles Maupin, regional staff specialist for the Conservation Department of the Northeast Protection Region. The season – which opened Nov. 14 and ended Sunday – saw a total of 132,937 deer killed throughout the state, a 29 percent increase over last year's record of 103,059 total deer killed. Of this year's total 86,900 were bucks and 46,028 were doe. In the northeast region there were 22,256 deer killed, including 13,778 bucks and 8,478 doe. The total eclipsed last year's record of 15,529 deer. Of the 14 counties in the northeast region, Montgomery County had the highest deer killed with 2,278, Callaway County followed with 2,179, while Boone County was third at 2,179. Other count totals included: Knox, 1,921; Shelby, 1,817; Clark, 1,757; Pike, 1,580; Lewis, 1,548; Monroe, 1,429; Lincoln, 1,273; Scotland, 1,266; Marion, 1,157; Audrain, 1,053; and Ralls, 689."
10 Years Ago
"Storyteller Perrin Stifel captivated his audience with stories related to character learning Thursday at Eugene Field Accelerated School. He also presented a teacher workshop to instruct staff members on telling stories and how to use them through the curriculum. ... Nana's Place, a new 24-hour daycare that opened last week in Mexico fulfills a big need in the community, says owner and part-time assistant Martha Newsom. Nana's place "is the only one that cares for kids 24 hours a day and seven days a week," said Newsom. The daycare watches children from ages ranging from 6 weeks to five years old. Nancy's Place can currently watch four children at a time, but Newsome anticipates that the number will be expanded to 10 for the day and evening shift, three on the overnight and four on the weekends when the pending child care license is granted. Nana's Place is named after Newsom's grandmother, Leola "Nana" Hunt, who cared for children for many years herself. "Nana lived here until she was 101 years old," said Newsom. "I inherited this place and I always said that I wanted to make it a day care." Nana's Place presently employes five workers, including director Jody Spears, full-time assistant Jen Adams and Part-time assistant Tami McCarthy. The daycare promises activities for the children, such as arts and crafts, sign language courses, music, and outdoor activities and games. In addition, Nana's Place will provide state-approved meals and structured learning."

Some corrections and clarifications need to be made to the story about John McHenry's court case.
The 43-year-old Cortez Middle School teacher did not admit in court to punching a Montezuma County Sheriff's deputy during the Roatcap Fire on Oct.24, as was stated in the Journal story on Thursday.
McHenry read a prepared statement during Wednesday's hearing. In the statement he acknowledged "my wrong-doing" during the events that led to his arrest.
McHenry was originally charged with felony assault after he was accused of punching a sheriff's deputy. The incident occurred when McHenry tried to bypass a roadblock where the deputy was stationed.
The story said that McHenry was given a deferred sentence in the case on Wednesday. The correct term is deferred prosecution. McHenry did not enter a guilty plea and was not required to give an admission of guilt.
Under the disposition, McHenry must complete 24 hours of community service, 12 weeks of anger management while not committing a crime for the next six months. If successful, the deferred charges - third-degree assault and resisting arrest - will be dismissed.
McHenry's statement concluded with an apology for his actions during the Oct. 24 incident: "I am truly sorry."

The current era of the Abbey Theatre may be coming to an end, and talk of its future is on the lips of just about every music lover and concert-goer in town.
How it all shakes out remains to be seen, but the current management is closing out its tenure with a bang. There is a steady stream of shows in January, the standard fare of electronic, jam, bluegrass, rock and world-influenced funk that has graced the stage for the last four years. The venue also has been a launching pad for up and coming Austin, Texas, roots-rock bands; Band of Heathens became Durango regulars, as did Mickey and the Motorcars.
On Saturday night, the Abbey will welcome another large Austin band, the quintet of Uncle Lucius. Uncle Lucius is Kevin Galloway on guitar and vocals, Hal Vorphal on bass, Mike Carpenter on guitar and vocals, Josh Greco on drums and Jon Grossman on accordion and guitar.
Uncle Lucius is a rock band, although fans and those in the industry are constantly pressuring them to expand their label, which is an arduous and unnecessary part of the music business. The question, What are they like? is a phrase that makes most musicians and music writers cringe. Theyre a rock band, and that should be enough.
The rock label should tell you that they sometimes can play blues, they can play country and they can play Americana, all on amplified acoustic or electric instruments. Even the Rolling Stones, the Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll Band, had a few country ballads and some great blues, too. Uncle Lucius 2012 release And You Are Me exemplified that kind of diversity.
Everybody is always asking to describe the music. I just call it rock and roll, Vorphal said. We put our own twist on whatever that may be. Lots of country, blues, classic rock, we just try to make it our own. We do that somewhat on purpose. We all have fairly varied styles that were into. We try to squeeze that all in there. Record labels and people like that dont really like it, but, to me, theres good music and bad music, and were trying to make good music.
The mission to make good music began seven years ago, when Vorphal started playing with Galloway. The rest of the band filed in after; And You Are Me is the bands third release. Although they call Austin their home, Uncle Lucius remains a live band, living more out of a tour van than a proper residence. Their always-on-stage, play-it-live mentality carries over into the studio, where theyll make the time later this year to cut a fourth record.
We try to get as much as we can live, Vorphal said. I think weve done pretty well so far of getting a live feel out of our albums, definitely an organic album feel. We are a live band, thats our calling card.
