Product Description
15 In. Carpenter Handsaw with Wood Handle Offers Speed and Efficiency
When the cut has to be done with speed and precision, the Craftsman 15 in. carpenter handsaw with wood handle gets it done without the need for a power source. Whether you're on a remote location or just need a lightweight tool to execute a cut immediately, this is the handsaw you need on your workstation. It offers the same smooth cut you might expect from a Craftsman power saw, but without the expense and cord reliance for greater versatility.
Made with a comfort-shaped over-molded hardwood handle, this 15 in. carpenter handsaw with wood handle offers an easy grip and hassle-free use. Easy-start teeth at the front of the blade simplify the process of starting a cut, while the precision technology on the rest of the saw blade keeps it going. The thick 1mm blade helps prevent bending during use, reducing binds and cutting straight with every stroke. Patent pending teeth offer more efficient cutting and material removal than standard carpenter handsaws for a hassle-free cut.
- When power isn't an option or desire, the Craftsman 15 in. carpenter handsaw with wood handle offers fast and accurate cuts for your carpentry project
- Ideal for cutting larger limbs from trees as well as being a go-to saw in your woodshop
- Professional over-molded hardwood handle gives a comfortable, durable hold for years of efficient use
- Easy-start teeth help get past the most likely binding point in any cut
- Patent pending 9-point teeth cut aggressively while efficiently clearing away sawdust for an even faster cut
- Thick blade prevents excessive bending that can lead to binds and slowed progress, while improving the precision on cuts that must be straight

Diner Reviews
Went there as part of Restaurant
Week. wonderful food. Great atmosphere. Comfortable, luxurious feeling. Great service. Delicious food. I loved it and will go back for special occasions!"
Dined on 7/29/2014
Had the Porterhouse steak, was
cooked perfectly, and with the exception of a few pieces that were quite gristly it was wonderful. The pecan raisin bread, truffled mashed potatoes, and mushrooms were fantastic. The asparagus had little taste. Staff was attentive and sweet. The atmosphere wasn't my favorite because there were many tourists which meant crying kids and while beautiful the very high ceilings make for a noisy place. It's a pretty place but if you are looking for an intimate, classis NY steakhouse feel go elsewhere."
Dined on 7/28/2014
We went here because of the
restaurant deal. Very impressive experience, instead of being a small portion like a lot restaurant do during restaurant week, Porter's is generous on portion size. The steak tastes good as well as the service level. Will definitely come back again!"
Dined on 7/28/2014
I went to this restaurant which
was recommend by a friend. I ordered the NY strip steak for medium rare - the steak taste not fresh - kind of weird and hard to bite. The friend i brought ordered salmon which tasted not very great as well. The restaurant waived the price for the steak which i appreciated. the creamy spinach side with bacon taste good."
Dined on 7/26/2014
The service was excellent with
friendly staff who are efficient and make yu feel welcome. The food was excellent along with a good selection of wines."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Best part was distance between
tables and a place where a conversation can be held. Chopped salad was disappointing and steak not up to par as Luger's."
Dined on 7/25/2014
i ordered aged prime beef for two.
it came out as medium done i/o medium well. not as fgood as i expected. there are similarly priced stake houses that are better."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Why did we stop going here? What
a gem. Glad we rediscovered it."
Dined on 7/24/2014
They basically have restaurant
week all year long. Their steak and French fries are devine as are the appetizers and desserts. Gazpacho was the best I ever had and superb chocolate cake dessert. The setting is beautiful and the service is extremely good."
Dined on 7/23/2014
This is the place to go for solid
American cuisine! Best steak tartar in the city for sure! Everything was great! Even the $21 loaded baked potato was almost worth it!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Potential for good restaurant.
Good location and good menu. Totally rushed by staff to order. Waiter had a bad disposition. Overpriced for comparison with a comparable menu. If the restaurant provides service levels with prices they charge the restaurant could become great. I have been there three times in the last 6 months. This will be my last."
Dined on 7/19/2014
We were very happy with the Porter
House Steak restaurant. Our waiter David was very accommodating and we found the steak to be comparable with the top Steak places in the city. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a good steak in a great location."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Why does it say "wasnothappy"
below? I was happy!!"
Dined on 7/18/2014
We went a month ago on a Sunday,
earlier (5:30) and got a seat by the window, very special. This time I had made a reservation on Wednesday for Friday, my birthday, and we were not as lucky with seating, against the wall in the back, but the food and service were just superb! In a restaurant as wonderful as Porterhouse, you can sit in the kitchen and still have an amazing experience. From the scallop (me) and porcini risotto appetizers, to the filet mignon (me) and grilled veal chop (my husband) entrees with onion rings and sautéed mushrooms, everything was delightful and perfectly prepared to our liking. Don't miss the coconut cake and iced cappuccino!!"
Dined on 7/18/2014
From the Time we walked in to the
time we left the experience was amazing. The service was perfect. The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable and just new how to treat people. The Maitre 'd frequently visited table to see how we were doing. I could talk on and on. The steaks were perfectly cooked as ordered."
Dined on 7/16/2014
Good food. Good service, nice
ambiance, but getting pricey over the last year or so. How much will they push the price envelope for a steak. I believe that they are getting a bit overpriced even for a good product."
Dined on 7/16/2014
food is very good if not great,
the place is nice, service is attentive. will be back!"
Dined on 7/15/2014
The location is great in the Time
Warner building overlooking Central Park. The service was very good and attentive. Unfortunately, the steaks were overpriced for the quality and flavor of the beef. I had a NY Strip that was tough and too charred, even though the center was cooked to the right temperature."
Dined on 7/14/2014
The ambience is lovely - dark
wood, soft lighting and huge windows. THe wine list was great. There are lots of affordable wines from really great wineries. We enjoyed everything - skirt steak, NY strip, hash browns, and creamed spinach. The tomatoes and mozzarella was dressed well and the tomatoes were very ripe. The clams casino were delicious also. I was surprised to see so many people poorly dressed here - shorts, tank tops. Why don't people dress for nice dinners anymore?"
Dined on 7/12/2014
We always make a point to have
dinner at Porter House when we visit New York! It always has excellent service, ambience and the food is delicious! Our dining experience on 7/12/14 was no exception. Everything was wonderful and everyone in our party loved it! We'll come back to Porter House next time we're in NYC!!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
The aroma of good eats permeates
the room when you walk in and it's amazing. The service is impeccable not stuffy, friendly and relaxing. Never disappoints."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The staff was wonderful, polite,
and helpful. The food was beyond exectations I will definitely return for another visit the next time I am in NY. my Ribeye was cooked to perfection!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
I want to eat something good food
before to see show at Rose Theater. I found best place. All staff are very nice and kind,(even bar area). Drink served quickly, Food are also reasonable and and perpect place before the theater, maybe Opera too. After the show, I look inside of the restaurant and still many people were eating or dirnking at bar. I guess I can use both per and after theater dinner or drinking. And I will come back if I want to eat something at Time warnner center or near Columbus circle. (THANK YOU!)"
Dined on 7/12/2014
The food and steaks were fantastic
as they should be for a restaurant of this caliber and price. What surprised me was the exceptional service we received for a table of 6. We had guests arrive staggered and late and they took it in stride. I did not like my appetizer and it was gone in an instant and replaced with another dish within a few minutes. Steak houses are known for their gruff and know it all staff..while this place has friendly, accommodating and above all transparent staff. Well done Porter House !!"
Dined on 7/11/2014
Very nice, but not
extraordinary....very expensive, to boot."
Dined on 7/10/2014
What a wonderful birthday dinner
we had with friends visiting from London. Our selections which included salad, scallop and shrimp starters, steaks and chops for mains were all prepared to perfection and then a great chocolate layer cake for dessert. The service was attentive without being intrusive."
Dined on 7/9/2014
Excellent staff and servers. I
had a wonderful time."
Dined on 7/7/2014
It was celebration for us and a
sweet experience. In particular the waiter had a wonderful personality and encouraged our good mood. We requested a view and it was lovely. The sound level and background music added to the ambience and was not intrusive. The Atlantic Salmon was a high point."
Dined on 7/7/2014
I had been to Porter House on many
occasions for Sunday lunch before a performance. On June 6th, I brought friends there for their first time. They absolutely loved everything from our table overlooking Central Park, to our very professional waitress, to the lovely staff member who kept the fresh bread coming. My friends, too, will go again and again."
Dined on 7/6/2014

Dined on 7/6/2014
Ate on Saturday night after July
4th. Busy, but we got seated immediately, party of 3. Service was outstanding, food was very good, my friend & I split the porterhouse for 2. I highly recommend the root beer float desert."
Dined on 7/5/2014
The place is great for lunch. A
bit overpriced for dinner but still reasonable considering it's in a nice shopping center in Manhattan."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Lunch 3 course meal is a good deal
but food is not impressive at all, especially the steak. We definitely have no desire to return."
Dined on 7/5/2014
The steak was totally amazing, so
did the resoto!!! Although it was just a resoto, their resoto was delicated and well-made. We enjoyed the dinner so much that we would definately go there again."
Dined on 7/3/2014
NY Strip was absolutely perfect.
Rest of the meal oustanding. Service and atmosphere excellent. Only drawback, even for a steakhouse prices are staggeringly high."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Every aspect of our visit could
not have been approved upon. Our server was knowledgable, gracious and acted as our well-versed tour guide. The scallop appetizer, crab cake, filet mignonette and pork chops were all done to perfection! The coconut cake was to die for!!"
Dined on 6/29/2014
had a great lunch, waiter was
great, food was great, overall great job!"
Dined on 6/29/2014
We arrived in the exactly time we
had booking our reservation. And we brought our little daughter too. We felt good at the big and well decorated sallon . The amazing view put us with glamorous in the heart of NYC . We really enjoyed our pleasant dinner !"
Dined on 6/28/2014
I ordered the "aged" prime sirloin
steak on the bone, Pittsburgh rare. It arrived rare but without the blackened outside crust "Pittsburgh" implies. The steak was NOT aged and it was impossible to cut - I was given a total of three knives none of which could penetrate the muscle strips throughout the steak. Our waiter took my plate to the kitchen and he was told PRIME meat has lots of fat and I was mistaking fat for muscle. I know the difference. A dessert was the peace offering. Our check for three was between $400-500. And the waiter was the only person who spoke to me; none of the managers came to the table. Also, many of the diners were permitted to dine in shorts and baseball caps. Chef Lomonaco should know better. Very declasse!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Steaks we exxellent. hash
browns were greasy, cremed spinach uneventful. Overall a hair below Smith & Wolensky."

Sports Editor
West Virginia University head basketball coach Bob Huggins has said many times that he's pretty much seen it all out of his team this season.
But on Monday night after the Mountaineers defeated Texas 60-58 in a Big Monday game on ESPN — marking WVU's first back-to-back wins since winning three straight against Oakland, Radford and Eastern Kentucky to end the month of December, and its first back-to-back victories all year in Big 12 play — members of the media saw something they hadn't seen from the veteran coach this year — smiles.
Twenty-two games into a 31-game regular season, Huggins finally saw his Mountaineers (11-11, 4-5 Big 12) playing the type of basketball he expected from them when the season began.
"I think we have a chance," said Huggins in the postgame press conference, sticking with comments he made earlier in the week about his team still having a shot at the NCAA Tournament. "I think we're getting better at guarding, and we have started to rebound better."
Huggins, though, isn't ready to put his stamp of approval on where his team stands.
"When you go through years like this, you learn the meaning of the old cliché, take them one at a time," said Huggins. "There were other times we thought we turned the corner, and then we took a step back."
But a couple of individual performances at least have given the coach some hope.
Freshman guard Eron Harris is living up to his potential.
Harris reached double figures in scoring only four times in his first 14 games, but he's reached that mark in six of the last seven, including 19 against TCU, 18 against Texas Tech and 17 against Oklahoma State.
His confidence is growing with every game.
"More importantly, his teammates have confidence in him," Huggins explained. "They're looking to get him the ball."
The other big difference is the play of senior forward Deniz Kilicli. Considered to be one of the team's biggest threats when the season began, the Istanbul, Turkey, native went through a stretch where he was barely seeing the floor. Over the last five games, though, he's reached double figures three times, including a 14-point performance Monday night against the Longhorns.
"I thought he was terrific — so much more active," said Huggins. "He does a great job of sealing people. We don't do a great job of getting him the ball, but I think the last two games were the best two all-around games that Deniz has played."
If Huggins' club is going to make a run, the schedule sets up perfectly. It's going to take some head-turning wins to grab the attention of the NCAA Selection Committee, and those are on the schedule — at No. 13 Kansas State (Feb. 18), at home against No. 22 Oklahoma State (Feb. 23) and at No. 5 Kansas March 2 — but there are also some very winnable games.
WVU will be at TCU (9-12), which is 0-8 in Big 12 play, on Saturday and then make the trip to Baylor (14-7) on Feb. 13. The Mountaineers will also get another meeting at home against Texas Tech (9-10) and will face Oklahoma (14-7) for the third time this season on March 6.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Eating local, and a 100-mile menu at Cafe 1505 in Mequon
A reminder: The Eat Local Challenge continues through next Wednesday, if you want to see if you can add more locally grown and produced foods to your diet.
Restaurants are making it easier for diners to find dishes containing at least some local ingredients, as more of them commit to offering foods sourced closer to home.
For example: Café 1505, a breakfast-and-lunch café and deli at 1505 W. Mequon Road, Mequon, last year started a weekly 100-mile menu, knowing that hard-core locavores try to limit themselves to food grown or raised within 100 miles of home.
That menu is where the restaurant showcases its dishes that use vegetables from owner Bill Ledger's garden, herbs from chef Ken Kohls' garden and ingredients from other sources within 100 miles.
More restaurants serving local ingredients -- to at least some extent -- can be found at the JSOnline dining page.
Restaurants, to be added to the list, contact me at email@example.com.

"To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it."
(Deuteronomy 10:14)
We humans love our stuff, don't' we? Many of us obtain so much stuff that we have to build on extra space to store our stuff. When those fill up, we rent storage facilities to house our overflow of stuff. I am as guilty as the next fellow of collecting stuff, but I am happy to say I am getting better. I am down to two storage buildings and one rental, and I am going to get rid of those in the near future. I just don't need all that stuff anymore.
You want to experience a feeling of freedom? Unload some of your access stuff.
You want to feel really great? Give your stuff to someone who really needs it, or sell some stuff and donate the money. God expects us to share our wealth with others. He blesses us so we can bless others. According to His word, it is all His anyway. God owns "the earth and everything in it." Our stuff is on loan to us. Why some have so much more than others depends on many factors, but God has the last word.
You have most likely heard the phrase, "One man's junk is another man's treasure." Several years ago we decided to downsize. For various reasons, we wanted to simplify our lives. We had built a big house on a few acres in the country. It was a great place, but it was too much to keep and too much to pay for, so we sold it. There was a big barn on the property, and I had it stuffed with stuff. We had a sale and hired auctioneers to sell it. I was amazed at what sold!
I said all that to say that unloading all that stuff was a most freeing experience. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My excuse for hoarding stuff has always been that I was so poor growing up that I was reluctant to get rid of anything. "I might need that sometime," was my justification for keeping it. I finally learned that I will never use most of what I kept. Letting it go felt wonderful.
You have probably heard these sayings, "You can't take it with you." and "You never see a u-haul behind a hearse." Have you ever considered how much of your time and energy and thought time goes toward your physical possessions? Those "treasures" we that we have stored up can consume far too much of our time.
Jesus said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)
Maybe it's time to take inventory of our stuff and decide how much of it we really need. Then decide if what we keep is worth the time and energy and cost we have to expend to keep it. We might find that we can live without a great deal of it, and we might find someone who could benefit from it. I think the Lord would be pleased with that. It is all really His, anyway.
"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all"
(1 Chronicles 29:11).
"'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the Lord of hosts"
(Haggai 2:8).

Washington Times-Herald
CRANE — A new business is now part of the WestGate @ Crane Technology Park. Camber Corporation, which acquired Novonics late last year, held a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday morning for its new technology office.
Novonics had two locations in the area, the one at WestGate and one in Bloomington. The Bloomington location will also remain open under Camber.
In a press release, Camber COO, Walter Batson, Jr., said, "We welcome Novonics employees to the Camber family. Novonics' experience, customer knowledge, and successful project execution is an excellent strategic fit for Camber Corporation. The merging of our teams will provide our customers and the simulation community with even higher quality solutions for their mission requirements."
The acquisition of Novonics combines tactical systems software and simulation capacity from Novonics with Camber's system of integration and engineering as well as cyber security, acquisition management, logistics and sustainment, and interactive training to federal government and commerical customers around the world.
On hand for the event that drew about 40 onlookers were Col. Alan Pratt; commanding officer at NSWC Crane; Loogootee Mayor Noel Harty; Washington Mayor Joe Wellman; John G. Lord, Camber executive vice president, and Walt Sasser; Camber vice president of communications and external affairs.
"This move by Camber demonstrates the strategic attractiveness of the WestGate to defense and technology companies and we look forward to the future growth and expansion of the company," said Wellman.
Camber Corporation supports military efforts worldwide and also does peace-keeping work in underdeveloped countries. The company provides mission critical engineering and technical services to aerospace and defense, national security, and federal government as well.
"We also do intelligence and special operations work, logistics, unmanned aircraft systems, training solutions and much more," said Lord.
In business for over 20 years, Camber is headquartered in Huntsville, Ala., and has 30 U.S. offices that are positioned to provide the best support possible to its customers. The company also has personnel at 100 locations worldwide including Europe, Asia and Africa. They currently have about 2,300 employees. About 16 employees will be based in the local technology office.
"Crane is an important customer for us," said Lord. "Our work here started with Novonics and to have Camber here at Crane is wonderful. We have focused ourselves to be near our customers and we want our employees to participate in and be a vital part of the nearby communities. We are glad to be here."
Several members of the Camber team, including Sasser, have a military background.
"This is a second career for me and it gave me another way to serve my country," Sasser said. "We want to support the warfighter and their mission and we are grateful folks chose to come here," Lord added.

My Great GrandFather died in the battle of Passchendaele on 24th September 1917 and was also from Poulton and was in the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment (7th Battalion). I'm sure they would have known each other as he lived on Burlington Ave (now the Teanlowe Centre) in the centre of Poulton, he was only 3 years older than your GrandFather and was in the same Regiment. I would love to talk to you about this as I really want to find out more about him. I have traced where he is buried in Belgium and visited his grave a few times. I would love to see any old photo's of Poulton you might have too. Sorry, I'm rambling, but I get excited when I find things that could give me information about my hero Private 24489 Thomas KellettReplyDelete

What Helen Thomas Understood
She knew that reporters cover the news but don't become it.
When I think of Helen Thomas, the veteran reporter who died on Saturday, I think not just of her glass-ceiling-breaking moves (for example, forcing the admittance of women into the White House Correspondents Association, then becoming the organization's first female president). I think not just of her show-stopping performances in the Gridiron, an organization in which she continued to participate even in her 90s. And I think not just of her sheer longevity and relentless work, covering every president since John F. Kennedy.
What I loved – and will sorely miss – about Helen is her ability to keep her professional dignity while being bluntly tough on those she covered. Helen might have made news at times in her career, whether it was by asking an unusually direct question of a president or making an offhand comment about the Middle East (Helen was of Lebanese descent, and had a pro-Palestinian perspective not often seen or acknowledged among opinion-makers in the U.S.) to visitors at the White House – a comment that got her in trouble. Helen was tough, but she didn't ask "gotcha" questions. And while she was rightly well-known, she never made her job or her reporting about herself.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should the U.S. Discourage Israel From Attacking Iran?]
Once, a bunch of us were trying to get details on a story from Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty, the chief of staff to President Clinton early in his tenure. McLarty was kind – he was basically an affable sort – and gave what are now typically vague answers to our questions. We stopped, and McLarty expansively told us to be sure to come to him again if we had more questions. "Why?" Helen said. "You never tell us anything." It wasn't said in a mean way; Helen was just making it clear that she saw right through his obfuscation routine and while he might indeed be able to keep her from getting information, she wasn't going to be made a fool in the process.
But she didn't write about it or tweet it (which of course would have been impossible then). She didn't take internal housekeeping issues and turn them into some national debate. News was news, and reporters, with rare exceptions, are not themselves the news. Thomas got that.
Sadly, that ethic has all but disappeared in the current environment, when "branding" of journalists and a pathetic desire for some sort of celebrity has started to affect news judgment in a negative way. It happens when someone asks a question at a briefing that is not intended to get an answer useful to Americans, but rather to show how tough/indefatigable/insouciant the reporter is (count up how many times President Obama is asked about how a certain policy has affected his popularity in polls, and how he feels about it – who cares?). And it happened quite recently, when a RealClearPolitics reporter felt the need to tweet the fact that a congressman made a mildly inappropriate comment to her.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the David Petraeus Scandal.]
The congressman was Steve Cohen of Tennessee, and the reporter was asking about something Cohen probably did not want to talk about (and justifiably shouldn't have to talk about to a reporter). He said, according to the reporter, "you're very attractive, but I'm not talking about it." That was inappropriate and unprofessional – who cares if he thinks she's attractive? But the reporter couldn't just write it off – or even say, hey, congressman, that's a bit unprofessional. She tweeted it. That makes the story – and there's no story there; it wasn't an obscene or threatening comment – about her and about self-promotion. She tweeted again when Cohen apologized. Was there any point at all to that public airing, other than to elevate her status by revealing a mildly inappropriate comment? It's hard to believe she was all that traumatized by it, but if she was, it's a good thing she never covered former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who had no problem at all telling us in the press corps that a question was "the stupidest question I have ever heard."
Helen Thomas never would have tweeted such a thing. She might have rolled her eyes and made a comment back. And it's because Thomas was a professional reporter in the most critical meaning of the phrase. She reported. She asked direct questions without caring if they offended the subject of her inquiry, but she didn't ask questions whose sole purpose was to embarrass the subject of her inquiry. She was a newswoman, pure and simple. And we are all the worse for losing her.

The following is from the Sept. 12, 2007, edition of GameDaily BIZ
The Guildhall at Southern Methodist University today announced that it has launched a degree program offering a bachelor's degree in fine arts and a master's in interactive technology in digital game development within five years. This first-of-its-kind program will have students who choose the dual degree plan complete their School of Arts major requirements and general education at SMU's main campus before moving on to the SMU campus in Plano to complete The Guildhall program.
"Combining our world class undergraduate program in fine art at Meadows with our professional development was a natural," said Dr. Peter Raad, founder and executive director, The Guildhall at SMU. "Since we opened our doors in 2003, high school seniors from across the country have been inquiring as to how they can get into our program. If a high school senior's goal is to someday work as an artist in the video game industry, SMU is the right place for them."
"Gaming has increasingly broad penetration into all forms of cultural expression, and likewise draws more and more from the framework of the arts, physical and social sciences," said James W. Sullivan, chair of the Division of Art at the Meadows School. "Because of the depth of immersion possible within the graduate studies of the Guildhall MIT program, the breadth afforded by the BFA degree will give the next generation of game designers unique tools and experiences to bring to the profession as well as the game environment itself."

NORTH BEND, Wash. -- North Bend Elementary school teachers packed up their belongings and left their classrooms Friday afternoon, unsure if they would be back on Monday. The teachers are threatening to strike if they can't reach a tentative agreement with the Snoqualmie Valley School District.
"The teachers have been told that they may not be coming back Monday so they need to remove their beloved pets, their thirsty plants and whatever personal items they might need over the week," Snoqualmie Valley Education Association president Lisa Radmer said.
The teachers are prepared to strike if they don't have an acceptable contract offer by Sunday afternoon. The key issues are teacher pay and class size.
The school district's latest offer includes two percent raises for teachers every year for the next three years. A district official said it is a "strong offer" and they are optimistic.
"They are very close on the compensation. We still have some more conversation to do on class size," Radmer said.
Contract negotiations resumed Friday afternoon.
Q&A for parents in the event of a strike (from Snoqualmie Valley School District)
If there's a strike, would schools close?
Yes. All schools would be closed during a strike in our district. This includes all grade levels (including Preschool and Kindergarten) and special programs (such as the Parent Partnership Program, Transition Learning Center, etc.).
How will families be informed that school is cancelled?
If the union declares a strike, the district will immediately work to notify its families through a variety of communication tools, so parents will have as much time as possible to prepare and make other arrangements for their children. The district will:
- post the update on the District website: www.svsd410.org
- send an email notification via District E-News
- post a link to the website headline onto Twitter: @SnoqValleySD
- record a message that people can access on the District hotline: 425-831-8494
- initiate the district's emergency call-out system to send a message to all parent cell and home phone numbers in our database.
- plus, media coverage
When would school re-start? How long do students have to attend school?
School would begin after the strike has ended. Regardless of when school starts, our students will receive 180 days of quality instruction. School closures caused by a strike are similar to weather-related closures; days must be made up.
When will lost school days be made up?
The district would revise and distribute a new school calendar as soon as possible after a strike ends.
How will a strike affect student activities and athletics?
Most school activities will be on hold until school starts, except for sports. Coaching contracts in Snoqualmie Valley are negotiated separately from the main teacher contract; therefore, sports practices and games will typically continue as scheduled. There may be some adjustments to the plans for home/away games. Athletes should confirm their sport's schedule with their coach.
How will a strike affect Snoqualmie Valley students in special education programs in other districts?
Families of Snoqualmie Valley students who attend special education programs at other school districts will be contacted individually.
How will a strike impact seniors (12th graders)?
• Graduation: In our state, seniors are required to have 175 days of instruction, compared to the 180 days required for all other grades. Depending on the duration of a strike, the date of the graduation ceremony may need to be changed. The school and district would notify families as soon as possible after a strike if a change was needed.
• College applications & transcripts: College applications would be unaffected by a strike since they are often due in January and require transcripts only through the end of the student's junior year. (Once accepted to a college, students must submit their senior-year transcripts.)
• Advance Placement Exams: The AP exams are given statewide during specific set dates during the weeks of May 5-16. A strike will not change those dates.
What will happen to those who have made plans to use the fields and school facilities for community events, activities, and sports?
At this time, we do not anticipate that community use of school facilities will be impacted as long as such activities have been arranged in advance. If custodial support is needed, however, use of facilities may be limited. If you have questions about your facility rental, please contact Carl Larson at 425-831-8005.
What kind of options are there in the community for childcare during the day?
The following organizations confirmed that they may have openings to care for more children during the school day. Contact: YMCA (Snoqualmie Ridge) 425-466-0339; Si View Parks Dept. (North Bend) 425-831-1900; or Mountain Valley School (North Bend) 425-888-3360, for more information.
How will a new student enroll in a Snoqualmie Valley school if schools are closed?
The District Office (8001 Silva Ave. SE, Snoqualmie WA, 98065) will remain open during a strike and can register students to any of our district schools.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — The Niagara men's basketball team tipped off the season Friday night with a 102-83 loss at Oregon State.
Marvin Jordan led the Purple Eagles with 17 points, hitting 5 of 9 from 3-point range. Juan'ya Green had 14 points, nine assists and four steals. Ameen Tanksley (12 points), Antoine Mason (10 points) and freshman T.J. Cline (11 points) were also in double figures. Freshman guard Tahjere McCall had eight points and a team-high eight rebounds off the bench. No other Niagara player had more than four rebounds.
The Beavers shot 52 percent and out-rebounded Niagara 52-37.
"We were overmatched tonight," Niagara coach Joe Mihalich said in a statement emailed to local media. "We played a Pac-12 team that won 21 games and returned 4 starters. I was somewhat please with our offense, but disappointed with our defense. We have a lot of work to do on both end of the floor but especially on the defensive end."
The game was part of the 2K Sports Classic, which will bring Bucknell and New Mexico State to the Gallagher Center next weekend. Niagara plays its home opener Tuesday night against St. Francis.

Leslie Bradshaw, Contributor
I am writing a playbook to get women more power seats at the table.
I agree with Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg: Women need more seats at the table. And while I appreciate the right to a seat, truthfully, not just any seat will do. Specifically, we need more seats in leadership roles at the highest levels of business, politics, technology, the media, the clergy and even controlling the world's wealth. Right now, the gender distribution is horribly off-balance:
If this was 100 or even 50 years ago, I might at least understand these statistics. I could argue that women's access to higher levels of education wasn't the best, that men weren't taking a very egalitarian approach to the household and cultural norms placed women in paraprofessional roles (think: secretary, copywriter) and were not thought of as managers, directors and leaders.
But today is 2011 and there is little excuse for there to be such paltry figures across the board. So what's going on here? The common explanations I've heard over the years include:
While these explanations are certainly not comprehensive, they do start to scratch the surface of what we are up against. In an effort to address, overcome and annihilate these gaps, this blog will work to inspire through interviews with women who have negotiated hard, founded their own companies, taken time to be a mom, been elected, lead a congregation, earned a prominent seat at the table and everything in between. As a female founder of a technology company who focused a lot on gender, power and economics in my studies at the University of Chicago, I will also be throwing in some of my insights and experiences when warranted (and even when they are not).
In the meantime, I'd like to close on an uplifting note and share a few of the things that give me hope that there is real change and a movement afoot:
Know a woman who should share her "More Seats" story? Maybe she's you. Have a "More Seats" topic you'd like me to go deep on? Email me at lesliebradshaw [at] jess3 [dot] com
Leslie is the President, COO and Co-Founder of JESS3. LinkIn with her here or follow her @lesliebradshaw.
I just wanted to say how happy I am that more articles like this are getting written and picked up by places like Forbes or HuffPo. I left my full time job at a tech company to start a website to help encourage women to embrace technology, but by doing so in a roundabout welcoming way. I talk about embracing being both geeky and girly, but empowering yourself and having fun. It's at www.girlhack.com
To be honest, we need a turn at controlling the table. Skip trying to get a few more chairs. The boys have failed at balancing profit making with societal good, community building and environmental protection. Every messy political and business situation has been created and curated and degraded under the guidance of men. Not BAD men, but men, none the less. I'd like to see a decade where working mothers and middle aged mothers took over. You'd see Standard Oil rejected on all new leases until they cleaned up the equivalent of their mess around the house, the spill in Niger that they walked away from. You'd see child care and elder communities being built that were fueled by renewable energy. Remember that we want our kids to be smart and capable, because they will be not only choosing our nursing homes but also paying into whatever retirement plan ends up remaining after GOP evisceration. You'd see 5% of the war-making and a whole new global industry of peace making, community farming and shared research for medical and scientific research. You'd see a strong shake of the head, 'NO', when bankers want to privatize profit but make working people cover banking losses. You'd see space travel, because heck, we like seeing our kids push themselves. But a few chairs at the table is not enough. Women are always patted on the shoulders, marginalized. We need the table for a decade. Its only fair.
This is a pretty good article. Particularly because instead of whining about how life is unfair, you simply point out the imbalances and plan on doing something about it. However, I would like to give some advice on achieving more of a balance. Guys have the advantage in business, politics, etc, of generally being more assertive than women. That, plus the fact that we are already positioned at the top makes your job much harder. Your inspirational stories will definitely do a lot to uplift spirits, but lets be real, this isn't the first motivational piece directed at women: I'ts not going to do much. Whoever the underdog is (whether its minorities, women, gay rights activists, whatever), they can talk about what they deserve all they want, but no one will do anything unless you take it by force. You need to come in guns blazing and f**k s**t up! You need to be sneaky, smart and strategic, and do more than gently inspire people. If you don't shove them out the door, they're going to get wrapped up in other aspects of their busy lives.
Marrywallace, what you write is naive, unfounded and wrong. If every messy situation is guided by men then all the good ones are too. Your plans are really great though! How is it that nobody though of any of them before? Oh yeah, they would take lots of money, resources, technologies that don't exist, and would require tons of laws changed (something that really is not possible with our political system). I would like to tear each statement apart, but I don't want this comment to be that long. Space travel does not just happen because you like to see your kids push themselves. Saying these things and "Its only fair" shows that you are naive, unthinking and ignorant and really are the epitome of the stereotype complaining feminist who gives women a bad name to us guys (kinda like the terrorists that give all muslims a bad name, same concept). Read http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-real-housewives-of-wall-street-look-whos-cashing-in-on-the-bailout-20110411 and tell me women leading would make everything better.
BTW Leslie, you're really hot ; )
Great piece and particularly the optimistic tone – we've been living with the bad news for women for a couple of thousand years. What we need is the good news going forward. I hope your readers who are looking for negotiation advice will pop over to our shop from time to time and I'll send ours to you. That's what we really need going forward – collaboration to close the leadership gap by the women standing at the doorway.
Brilliant, thanks! I am at one with you. I think legalisation is the answer, albeit I come to this conclusion reluctantly. In UK companies have been told get on with it, or else we'll legislate. as a consequence companies are looking at women in a new light and asking board recruitment agencies to add them to shortlists. Of course, there may be a few 'less than fabulous' women on boards as a result, but so what? Not all men on boards are the creme de la creme so why should we hold women to higher standards? Sometimes I think we'll know we have quality when women can be mediocre too :)
I've also just interviewed Gloria Feldt for my site. Very inspirational American woman!
I'm a little disappointed by the comments posted so far.
If you want a "seat at the table," then be as good (if not better) than those already there. It's that simple. To say we are woefully under-represented is not only completely wrong, but very small minded.
Women have just begun to become *publicy* involved in position of power of influence and already we are surpasing our male counterparts. They have been at a very long time while we have only just begun. What are you expecting? An immediate turn around to an all women-lead political engine, economy, and business infrastructure? The very idea is lame and unhealthy, anyway.
Also, I don't want to be a CEO. Did it cross your mind that perhaps women don't have "enough seats at the table" because they don't *want* them? If I wanted to be a CEO, I wouldn't let anything or anyone stop me. I would work harder, work smarter, and make it happen. But I prefer other things…that doesn't make me weak or unable or a victim. I choose it.
This idea of legislating a required number of women in business leadership should be offensive to any woman. It's patronizing and faux equality. It doesn't solve anything. It doesn't push women to be great in that particular field and it doesn't allow men the chance to prove their worth either. True equality is the ability to choose any direction you want without hindurance of discrimination.
Have you thought that perhaps the one focused on gender is you? Have you thought that perhaps the one with the chip on their shoulder is you?
Frankly, I don't want a woman leader simply because she is a woman. I want a leader who is a great leader. IF that person happens to be a woman, then it's all the sweeter to follow them.
I love the good data in this piece, but you missed the one promise of the title: *WHY* should women have more seats? I think the answer "because we don't have very many relative to our numbers in the population" is inadequate.
Implicit in the assertion that women should have greater representation is that *women bring something different than men to the table* . . . because if men and women brought the same thing, then it shouldn't matter who is sitting there; the results would be the same. And, indeed, many executive men with whom I talk believe that this is true, that there is no reason to increase leadership diversity (not only with respect to gender, but race as well) because in this day and age, they feel, executives are mostly the same.
But women DO bring many unique and valuable contributions to the table, (beyond the stereotypical "nurturing" or "collaborative leadership") and that's a lengthy discussion for a different article. The point here is that we need to start writing *those* articles and having that discussion if we are intent on making a convincing, substantive argument that women should have more seats at the table.
For further ideas about this gender debate a great author to read is Allan G Johnson. He has written 'The Gender Knot' and for an insight on how being seen to be in control is more acceptable for men than for women read his book or start with his website and the essay http://www.agjohnson.us/essays/silence/
I very much agree that women's negotiation skills are a problem. I'm not really sure where men learn them, but somewhere they have while women haven't. I know it's an area where I have personally struggled, and only recently have begun to realize my own worth to stand more firmly in salary negotiations, and to get myself onto a committee to address salaries, mainly because I think unless our job is as a negotiator, our negotiation skills shouldn't determine salaries above our job-related skills and accomplishments. That's unlikely to change any time soon, so I think we need to teach women the art of negotiation in the meantime.
On the point of women taking time off for family, I must respectfully disagree. I see plenty of men who advance the same as always in spite of all the time they take off to do "kid stuff." Meanwhile, I've encountered just as much discrimination in advancement as other women in spite of remaining childless and unmarried. In fact, I'm the one who is expected to pick up the slack for everyone else with kids, because they perceive my schedule as more flexible than those with kids, yet think I don't need additional compensation for it. I did finally put an end to the "but he needs to support a family" argument for unequal wages, by pointing out, "but I don't have anyone else to share expenses and pay my mortgage if I can't." I think a lot of women underestimate their own worth, so don't fight for what they deserve. Those of us who are figuring it out need to pass it on.
On the optimistic side, I do think a lot of women are making major contributions to society, they just aren't bragging about it in spite of deserving credit.

Milwaukee (5-18 (1-8))
Valparaiso (17-6 (7-2))
2/1/2013 | Valparaiso, Ind. (ARC) | Attendance: 4013
Related Links
Friday, February 01, 2013
Valparaiso put together its best defensive performance against a Division I school in nearly 30 years in earning its largest Horizon League win since joining the league on Friday evening, downing Milwaukee by a 71-40 score in front of 4,000-plus at the ARC.
The 40 points surrendered by the Crusaders were the fewest against a Division I opponent since Valpo gave up just 33 points in a win over Green Bay on Jan. 21, 1984. It's most recent defensive effort of this magnitude came against Grinnell on Dec. 9, 1987, a 68-40 Valpo victory. Meanwhile, the 31-point margin of victory was the Crusaders' largest within league play since they were a Mid-Con member and defeated Oakland 95-64 on Jan. 2, 2006.
"I think our guys came in mentally prepared today, and it showed," said Crusader head coach Bryce Drew. "We put up some of our best numbers all year and shot the ball much better tonight. Credit goes to the seniors for coming out focused and ready to play and to the rest of the team for following their focus."
It was a tight game early on, with senior Ben Boggs (Roanoke, Va./Hidden Valley [Virginia Tech]) providing the early offense, scoring 10 points in the opening six minutes as the Crusaders maintained a narrow lead. A pair of Milwaukee free throws cut the Valpo edge to 12-10 with 12:12 to play in the first half, but the Crusaders went on a 10-1 spurt over the next four minutes, featuring 3-pointers by fifth-year senior Will Bogan (Boise, Idaho/Vallivue [Ole Miss]) and junior LaVonte Dority (Chicago, Ill./Foreman [USF]) and an old-fashioned 3-point play from senior Ryan Broekhoff (Frankston, Victoria, Australia/Australian Institute of Sport), to claim a double-digit lead 11:35 into the game.
The lead was seven at 25-18 as the clock ticked under the six-minute mark of the first half, but the Crusaders closed the half on a 12-3 run to go into the locker room ahead 37-21. A triple from Broekhoff started the half-ending run, while fifth-year senior Erik Buggs (Memphis, Tenn./Mitchell) also hit a 3-pointer during the spurt. Boggs and Dority each added fast-break layups, and a tip-in by redshirt junior Bobby Capobianco (Loveland, Ohio/Loveland [Indiana]) in the final seconds capped the run, giving the Crusaders the 16-point edge into the break.
Valpo left no doubt as to the outcome out of halftime, scoring the first 11 points of the second half to push its lead to 27. Senior Kevin Van Wijk (Hoofddorp, Netherlands/Katholieke Scholengemeenschap Hoofddorp) scored five points during the run, including a circus layup which he released while he was nearly horizontal to the floor. Buggs added a steal and fast-break dunk, while Broekhoff capped the run with another 3-pointer. The lead never fell below 25 points the rest of the way, reaching its zenith at 36 twice, once with 6:17 remaining on Bogan's fourth 3-pointer of the game and then with 5:21 to play on a monster two-handed dunk by sophomore Vashil Fernandez (Kingston, Jamaica/Princeton Day [Md.] Academy).
The offensive effort was balanced for the Crusaders on Friday, as all eight Valpo players who scored tallied at least five points. Bogan and Boggs tied for team-high honors with 12 points, while Broekhoff added 11. Dority scored nine, Capobianco eight and Fernandez six off the bench, while Van Wijk tallied five in just 13 minutes of action. Capobianco also pulled down a game-high nine rebounds, while Broekhoff added seven caroms.
Dority paced the Crusaders with five assists, one of seven players to record multiple assists as Valpo totaled 19 helpers on 27 made field goals. The Crusaders shot 56.3% (27-of-48) from the floor and 52.4% (11-of-21) from behind the 3-point line, the fourth time this year Valpo has shot better than 50% from downtown.
Jordan Aaron led Milwaukee (5-18, 1-8 Horizon) with 17 points, but was the only Panther to score more than six points on the evening as they shot just 27.3% (12-of-44) from the field. Aaron also tallied a game-high four steals.
Valparaiso (17-6, 7-2 Horizon) returns to action on Tuesday evening from the ARC as the Crusaders host UIC at 7:05 p.m. As always, the game can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network and seen online on the Horizon League Network. Links for the live audio and video, as well as live stats, will be available at ValpoAthletics.com, while ValpoGameday.com will be your one-stop shop for live video, stats and interactive chat on the same page.

As the 2015 target date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) draws nearer, global and country-level discussions have kicked off to decide what will replace them.
HIV is represented in the current MDGs by MDG 6: to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, but there is no guarantee that it will be incorporated in the post-2015 development framework.
If HIV is not specifically mentioned in the new framework the hard won gains of the past 12 years could be lost.
That's why the Alliance is encouraging the HIV community to actively engage in the global and national debates around the post-2015 framework. We want to make sure that the voices of people living with HIV and key populations at higher risk of HIV are at the centre of the post-2015 development process.
Download our discussion paper 'How the HIV community can shape the future HIV and development agenda post-2015' to read more about this critical time for the HIV response. The paper is also available in French and Spanish.
The Alliance is dedicated to influencing the post MDG debate and ensuring that HIV is properly included.
In October 2012 we gave written evidence to the UK's International Development Select Committee emphasising the importance of including HIV in the post-2015 framework to global health. You can read our evidence here.

Since last year, there are fewer police patrolling the streets of the Las Vegas Valley, and crime has risen.
Clark County Commissioners, on Tuesday, debated a sales tax increase, in order to fund the "more cops" proposal. Not all of the commissioners are on board with it. A vote on the proposal was delayed, so more information could be gathered.
Metro Sheriff Doug Gillespie has said that more commissioned officers will make the Valley safer. In the past three years, the number of Metro officers has dropped from about 3,000 to about 2,500.
When the economic downturn hit the Valley, local government suffered, resulting in fewer officers.
The overall crime rate in Metro's jurisdiction is up 9 percent from last year. The sales tax increase, if approved, would be .15 cents.
Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak isn't sold. He said additional taxes on residents may not be in the public's best interest.
"I'm not convinced if you put more officers out there, more officers that are going to be in traffic, that you're necessarily going to eliminate a lot of crime," he said.
Under the plan, the sales tax rate would increase from 8.1 percent to 8.25 percent, resulting in a $30-million boost, enough to save about 250 jobs at Metro, and allow for the hiring of up to 100 officers.
Sisolak believes that instead of raising taxes, the department's existing funds could simply be reallocated.
"We are in an emergency situation regarding our budgets, and hopefully in the next two to three years, the economy starts [rebounding], we generate more property tax revenue, and we shouldn't be in this situation again," Sisolak said.
The tax would be Valley-wide, meaning the Henderson and North Las Vegas police departments would benefit as well.
If the proposal passes, the tax hike would take effect in October. It would remain in effect for the next 12 years.
