Major Reports
Comprised of over 20 policy options spanning a range of issues, the Blueprint weaves together state policies that have already proven effective, pragmatic, and popular, organizing these proposals under four broad frames that reflect many of the top concerns of American families: building an economy that works, making government work for people, protecting and supporting families, and revitalizing a middle class that continues to be largely left out of the economic recovery.
This report, released by more than 20 of America's leading organizations on work and the economy, describes common sense policies towards making today's jobs better and tomorrow's jobs good. The core value guiding this road map is that work lies at the center of a robust and sustainable economy; that all work has dignity; and that through work, all of us should be able to support our families, educate our children and enjoy our retirements.
This messaging resource will help unpack the provisions being challenged, sketch out likely outcomes for the decision, and frame the debate in ways that spotlight the failings of the SB 1070 approach and the way forward: through common-sense immigration policies that expand economic opportunity for all residents, both immigrant and native-born.
The Supreme Court will soon decide the constitutionality of key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. This guide highlights the impact of the ACA in each state.
This 50-state survey of states' wage theft laws reveals the majority of state laws to be grossly inadequate, contributing to a rising trend in workplace violations that affects millions of people throughout the country. The growth of this and other forms of the "underground economy" also have a serious impact on state revenues, amounting to billions of dollars per year in tax and payroll fraud. Several states are acting to address these problems by strengthening their laws against unscrupulous employers.
The Supreme Court will soon decide the constitutionality of key provisions of Arizona's anti-immigrant SB 1070 law in Arizona v. United States. While the decision is likely to be handed down in late June, it is very important that legislators, advocates, and activists speak with a unified voice about this divisive and mean-spirited law. This PDF is a messaging resource that highlights the law's unconstitutionality but also emphasizes the economically destructive nature of anti-immigrant legislation and the clear trend amongst the broad majority of state legislatures around the country that have chosen not to follow Arizona's lead.
Employers who engage in wage theft are not just stealing from hard-working families. By not paying workers what they are owed, dishonest businesses not only place law-abiding employers at a competitive disadvantage. They slow down the economic recovery by depressing consumer spending needed to fuel economic growth and defrauding taxpayers to the tune of millions of dollars. This brief previews a forthcoming Progressive States Network report on state wage theft laws by taking a closer look at the WTPA and comparing it to model policies being advanced in the states. Our forthcoming report will measure states' existing wage theft laws against a comprehensive set of those model policies.
State governments are facing mounting budgetary pressures to cut Medicaid costs. Reducing eligibility or cutting covered services is the obvious, but short-sighted, cost-cutting strategy. Such cuts will leave already ill people more ill, shift treatment costs to other payers (including small businesses, individual insurance policyholders, and medical providers), and forego significant federal funding that frequently exceeds any state budget savings.
E-Verify is a federal pilot employment-verification system that filters a worker's identification information through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) databases---in theory, flagging as ineligible any worker whose information doesn't match up with federal records. This controversial system has become a go-to talking point for anti-immigrant officials intent on a misguided "self-deportation" policy, which does nothing to address the root causes of America's broken immigration system.
The current state of the economy reminds us that American families will likely continue to face the stark reality of economic insecurity in 2012. With the political terrain still treacherous in many states, identifying and disseminating successful ways to frame, communicate, and advance effective economic policies will be key to changing the policy debate in statehouses — and through the states, helping to turn the tide in the nation as a whole.
As state legislative chambers begin new sessions—many with new right-wing leadership—the condition of our shaky state economies hangs in the balance. The nation's most pressing issue—nationally and locally—will continue to be jobs and the economy. Progressive States Network is working with state legislators and advocates across the country to collaborate on messages and policy solutions that will build security into three broad areas that affect people's everyday lives: our state economies, our jobs, and our health.
Progressive States Network's immigration-related work falls into a few key categories including: Wage Enforcement and Workers's Rights, Immigrant Integration, Community Policing, and Support Women and Minority Entrepreneurs as Potential Engines of Economic Growth and Job Creation.

It is 3 a.m. and you are cozy in bed, fast asleep after a long day. All of a sudden, your dog (who is always a good sleeper) is up and whining to go outside. You get up, let her out and don't think much about it . . . until it happens the following night. You also start noticing that her water bowl is now empty when it would normally still be half-full. Are these changes significant?
Often times, the amount of water being consumed may not be as noticeable as a change in urination frequency. Your normally well-trained dog may start having accidents in the house or may ask to go outside repeatedly. Your cat may start urinating in inappropriate places, or you may notice the litter box has an increased amount of urine-clumps present. Changes in your dog or cat's water intake or urination habits could be important, and a veterinarian should check them out promptly.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder stones may cause increased urination, in which case increased drinking becomes the secondary symptom. Conversely, increased drinking may be the primary symptom, and excessive urination the secondary symptom, as seen in dogs with diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus, Kidney Disease, Hyperadrenocorticism, and many others. Hyperadrenocorticism (also known as Cushing's Disease) occurs when the adrenal glands are producing an excess amount of steroids causing the increase in water intake. In cats, excess water intake, leading to increased urination, may be associated with Diabetes Mellitus, Hyperthyroidism (where the thyroid gland produces an excess amount of thyroid hormones), and Kidney Disease. Kidney Disease may result from a chronic, slowly-progressing disease process or from an acute (sudden) kidney failure from a severe bacterial infection (such as Leptospirosis or others) or poison ingestion. For example, if a cat eats lilies it can cause acute kidney failure and death.
All of the above diseases can be ruled out or diagnosed with basic lab work that evaluates blood and urine samples. Based on the exam findings and initial lab work, your veterinarian may recommend further diagnostic testing. As with most medical conditions, recognizing changes and acknowledging that they may be significant are critical first steps in getting answers and a treatment plan for your beloved pet. If you are seeing consistent changes in your pet's drinking or urination habits, please contact your veterinarian to make certain all necessary treatments for your pet's best health are performed.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
The Concord Lady Lions came close to pulling off an upset against a talented Fairmont State Falcons squad on Saturday at the Carter Center.
But close doesn't count in the conference standings.
Despite holding FSU without a field goal in the final five minutes of the game, Concord (4-9, 3-4 WVIAC) took a 57-54 loss — a result that included two technical foul shots by Fairmont State with two-tenths of a second left.
Only 17 of Concord's 57 field-goal tries found the bottom of the basket. On 21 occasions, the Lady Lions offense consisted of one shot followed by a Fairmont State rebound. The Falcons (8-3, 6-1) ended with a 50 to 36 rebounding edge.
On the other end of the floor, the Falcons got 14 fast-break points and 28 points in the paint.
Amanda Smith led Concord with 13 points, going 8 for 8 at the free throw line, and Jacqueline Kestner had 11 points. Stephanie Wagner passed along five assists, Tanisha Williams led the rebounding stat line with six, and Leslie Mack pulled off three of Concord's 10 steals. The Lady Lions had just nine turnovers.
The senior wearing No. 1 for Fairmont State, guard Kaitlin Snyder, lived up to her jersey number. She topped the Falcons with six assists and five steals while scoring 15 points and collecting 10 rebounds.
Concord head coach Kenny Osborne said, "Snyder, anytime the ball's in her hands, she's going to make something happen."
Summers County High School graduate Hallie Gunnoe led Fairmont State in scoring with 16 points, hitting 7 of 12 shots from the floor and going 2 for 2 at the foul line. The Falcons made only one of 18 three-point tries but were 12 of 13 in free throws.
Fairmont State was 22 for 63 from the floor. Osborne said, "Our zone gave them some problems; they didn't shoot the ball very well. But you've got to get the rebounds to get the easy baskets."
The Lady Lions spotted the visitors a 4-0 lead, getting ahead in the game 14-13 on a three-pointer by Amanda Smith with 12:30 left before halftime. That started a 15 to 4 Concord run leading to the game's largest point spread, 26-17 with 5:49 on the clock.
Concord's 31-26 halftime margin dissolved in the first seven minutes of the second period, followed by four lead changes. Smith made a pair of foul shots with 1:20 left to cut Fairmont State's lead to 55-54.
Snyder stole the ball in the final minute, but the Lady Lions' defense held and the shot clock expired on Fairmont State's possession.
Smith made a final attempt to win the game with a second left, but it was off the mark. On the rebounding try, the refs called a simultaneous possession. The arrow pointed in Fairmont State's favor, closing the door on a comeback.
At that point, Concord was called for the game's only technical foul, and the margin of victory was secured with Snyder's free throws at the other end of the floor.
Osborne said, "They're a very good team. They made a run. They've got older kids. ... You're not going to hold Fairmont down the whole game."
"We're limited in our numbers right now, (limited in) what we can and can't do, and we got a little bit winded, fatigued, and we didn't do a very good job fighting through that. That was the difference in the game."
The Concordians have a quick turnaround, playing on Monday night at Davis & Elkins followed by home games later in the week with Alderson-Broaddus and West Liberty.
"We don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves," Osborne said. "We've got to regroup, refocus and go to D&E on Monday."

December 1998Montana State University-Bozeman
by Tom McCoy
Alas, the 1999 Legislature has already begun in earnest, at least regarding the Montana University Systems (MUS) perennial battle to achieve an appropriation for matching funds for federal grants. Acquiring matching funds from the Legislature is one of MSU's highest priorities this year.
What are our actual needs? Although the majority of MSU's grants and contracts do not require a match, a significant number of them do. The Experimental Programs to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) alone require a match of approximately $6 million for the entire system. These programs have been instrumental in improving MSU's academic infrastructure and in enhancing our competitiveness.
In addition,matching funds are required for programs such as the Center for Biofilm Engineering and the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center. Finally,matching funds are frequently required for equipment grants like those that purchased a FACS (fluorescence activated cell sorter) and a confocal microscope. The ability to use this kind of equipment helps our students compete for high-tech jobs or apply to graduate school. In total, we need at least $10 million of matching funds per year.
So what is the strategy for 1999? The issue is really twofold. One is the need for a permanent source of matching funds in order to convince the federal agencies that Montana is truly interested in a state-federal partnership when it comes to funding science and technology. The other is the need for a permanent advisory group that could develop and implement a statewide science and technology plan. A means of addressing these issues has been proposed by the Governors Research and Development Task Force. This group recommended establishing a Research and Commercialization Commission(RCC) and creating a permanent endowment that would be used, in part, to provide matching funds.
These recommendations have been incorporated into the Governors "Jobs and Income" plan for the 1999 Legislature. Given the breadth of the plan,the legislative leadership decided to form a 10-member committee to provide the leadership with a bill or bills addressing the "Jobs and Income"plan. Speaker of the House John Mercer has indicated that he would like to deal with the "Jobs and Income" plan the first weeks of the session.
In brief, the major component of the legislation would create an endowment that would be used to fund MUS matches as well as provide some funding assistance for small businesses in pursuit of SBIR funding or incubator development. The source of funds for the endowment would be a hybrid, so that the partisan disagreement that occurred with the 1997 "Today and Tomorrow" plan could be avoided.
The proposal includes setting up an endowment within the Coal Trust. However, only about half of the endowment would come from setting aside current principal inside the trust. The remainder would come from placing a portion of the annual tax collected into the endowment. In addition, the endowment would include funds from the capital gains windfall from the sale of Montana Power plants, from a portion of the tobacco settlement (possibly earmarked for matches for biomedical research, e.g. the NIH IDeA awards) and a small portion of the proposed FY0001 surplus.
In addition,the Legislature would establish a Research and Commercialization Commission appointed by the Governor. The RCC would include private-sector members who are research leaders of technology companies, legislators, and the research vice presidents from MSU and UM. The RCC would be expected to develop and implement a research and development/science and technology plan for Montana, and it would be responsible for allocating funds from the endowment (the majority would be earmarked for MUS matching funds for federal research grants).
We have identified several legislators who are willing to support match funding and the RCC concept. An important session was held last month with six Montana legislators who attended the National EPSCoR conference (Mary Roloff and Gary Strobel deserve special recognition for arranging such good representation at this and other meetings). Three of the legislators at theEPSCoR conference were appointed to the Select Committee on Jobs and Income and are supporting the RCC concept there. In addition, we have legislators who are going on the road with Cathy Conover and me to sell the RCC concept during December. The University of Montana is also involved in these efforts.
Our sincere hope is that the RCC concept can be approved, either as a part of the"Jobs and Income" plan or as a separate bill early in the session.However, what if the whole Research and Commercialization Commission and Endowment portion of the "Jobs and Income" plan fails? The Governor initially placed $10 million for the biennium into the MUS budget for research matches. However, the Commissioner of Higher Education has already reduced the amount to $6 million. We will diligently strive to keep a minimum of $6 million in the MUS budget pending the outcome of the Governors "Jobs and Income" plan.

Legend Continues: Skateboard Icon Bob Burnquist Claims Big Air Gold at X Games 2012
The Legend continues.
Oakley's long-time Skateboard Icon, Bob Burnquist, facing the influx of new-generation riders pushing the envelope in the sport, claimed his fourth X Games Big Air Gold on Friday. The Brazilian, who tweaked his lower back during practice earlier in the week, dropped into the Finals with his usual aura of greatness, throwing down a killer 94.33 third run laced with an Indy 720 over to Fakie – squatting out of the run.
"The X Games have been a great event, being at this event as big as this stage with the skating this good, I couldn't have done it without everyone who was there helping me out, including my wife," Bob said, rocking his specially-designed Oakley MegaRamp gloves. "I definitely couldn't have done this alone."
The seasoned vet displayed immense resilience in the face of injury and super young guns like Mitchie Brusco (also wearing a pair of Oakley MegaRamp gloves from Bob), who claimed silver in a dazzling performance of his own.
Peep Bob's glorious run:

A Sign Of Change
There were two old men sitting on a park bench passing the day away talking. One old man asked the other, "How is your wife?"
The second old guy replied, "I think she may be dead!" The first man asked, "What do you mean you THINK she is dead?"
The second explained, "Well..the sex is the same but the dishes are starting to pile up."'The Art of War' teaches us to "Rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's coming, but on our own readiness to receive him"--Sun Tsu
A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

After years of planning and of battles over the need for it, a crosswinds runway at Robert J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township is nearing reality.
The Ocean County Board of Freeholders is poised to award the bid for construction of the runway at next Wednesday's meeting, the board announced Tuesday at its preboard meeting in Toms River.
The contract, for $5,806,037.50, is to be awarded to C.J. Hesse of Atlantic Highlands, $4 million of which is being funded by a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Currently the airpark, which has been in operation since the 1960s, has a single runway. For pilots landing small planes, when the winds are blowing perpendicular to the runway -- across it instead of the same direction as the runway -- landings become very tricky, according to aviation experts. A crosswinds runway allows for a safer landing in those situations.
It's something the county has been seeking since the late 1960s, Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari has said.
Within the last year, the county has received support from the FAA and from the state Department of Transportation on the need for the runway, as well as from township officials in Berkeley.
But not everyone is in favor of the project. The Pinelands Alliance has criticized the project and fought it, saying the county is simply looking to expand the airport and take in more business, a charge the freeholders have rejected.

That's getting hard to do by ground anymore. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks so much for all you do!!

It is that time of year for area high school teams. The playoff race is in full swing.
There has only been one area team clinch a spot in the postseason but two more could punch its ticket this Friday.
Nederland is in out of District 20-4A. The Bulldogs, with a victory over winless Lumberton Friday, has a shot to clinch at least a share of the district title.
Port Neches-Groves can clinch a playoff spot this Friday with a win against Beaumont Ozen.
Port Arthur Memorial is in with a win at home against Beaumont West Brook.
Memorial responds after North Shore loss
The Titans could have been down in the dumps after getting blown out by No. 4 North Shore two weeks ago.
Instead, Kenny Harrison's team came out Saturday and put together one of its best performances of the season.
Memorial routed Baytown Sterling 42-0 and will look to keep its playoff streak alive this Friday. The Titans have made the postseason four years in a row and are looking to avenge their first round exit a year ago.
Friday's game versus West Brook will be the 12th meeting between the two schools. West Brook leads the series 6-5.
Nederland is back in the playoffs
It feels like Nederland clinched a playoff spot weeks ago but it only happened this past Friday after the Bulldogs 27-14 win over Ozen. It marks the 18th time in 21 seasons under Larry Neumann a Nederland team has qualified for the playoffs.
Credit the entire Bulldogs team with what felt like a shutout. Ozen scored its two touchdowns with under two minutes left on the clock.
It was a dominating performance by the Bulldogs defense.
This week, on Senior Night, the Bulldogs face the Raiders who have struggled through the 2013 schedule.
A PN-G win puts Indians back in playoffs
All season long the Indians have talked about getting back into the playoffs.
A win Friday against the Ozen Panthers clinches that goal for the purple and white.
PN-G would be the fourth and final team from 20-4A to clinch as both Beaumont Central and Little Cypress-Mauriceville clinched this past Friday. LC-M is in the playoffs for the first time in over 15 years.
Ozen defeated PN-G 27-14 last year but the Indians hold a 7-3 lead in the all-time series.
The Indians offense was on fire last week putting up 439 yards in a 48-21 win over Vidor.
PN-G's defense held District 20-4A's leading rusher, Sage Smith, to just 105 yards on 18 carries.
Ozen's offense is coming into Friday's game after only being able to put up 147 yards of total offense against Nederland.

It took a lifetime of preparation to refine one of the 's most popular attractions.
But the drop of an Oreo cookie in a small pan is all it takes to get four little piglets to run around a miniature Kentucky Derby-themed track with all their might.
And off they go, kicking their heels as they dig around the track in yet another voyage of the "Ham Bone Express."
"Swinemaster" Charlie Boger, who brings a slice of Americana to the tech-centric Peninsula's annual fair, runs the traveling pig circus with his wife, Carol.
Together with 19 pigs including "Wilbur," a non-racing 1,100-pound behemoth, the Bogers cover thousands of miles each year performing at over a 100 fairs from Florida and New York to California and Texas in their custom 53-foot trailer that also serves as a backdrop for the race.
A lifelong rodeo and circus man, Boger estimates he's done well over a 15,000 pig races. And by now, the lines roll easily off his tongue in his native Arkansas drawl.
"The winner gets a cookie and the losers get the crumbs, and I've been in both places," Boger told an overflow crowd topping 500 at the start of a Thursday afternoon race.
"It's really cute," said Angela Duerden, a San Bruno resident who said she's attended several pig races at the fair over the years.
"You have the feeling you're on the farm and they're actually racing on the track, it's exciting."
First-time pig race spectator Shue Huo of San Mateo was intrigued by the idea of seeing something different.
"We always see the dogs and horses but we've never seen the pigs race," she said.
Boger splits his crowds into four sections that cheer for numbered horses in each of the four-horse races. Each groups gets a cheerleader who wins a "pig nose" if theirs' is the "fastest swine off the line."
Arnold "Schwarzenpigger," Claude "VanHam," Monica "Lewpigsky" and Britney "Spare Ribs," are among the nicknamed pigs competing in Nashville, Hollywood, political and heavyweight themed races.
Political correctness, however, is not the goal.
"Some people have complained, but I just tell them, 'come on, it's a pig race!"
Nevertheless, they do say they take the welfare of their animals seriously.
The pigs are watched throughout the day, are thoroughly inspected by a veterinarian every 30 days, and are kept in conditions that meet or exceed USDA Animal Welfare Act standards and state and local regulations, the Bogers say.
The Bogers are on the road 10 months out of the year, spending most of their lives in a town that are usually thousands of miles from their Fayetteville, Ark., home.
Boger admits that sometimes the energy wanes. He says it's on those days that his wife reminds him of why they're in the business they're in.
"If someone in that crowd has financial trouble or there kid's sick, if you can make them laugh for 20 minutes and help them get that stuff off their mind then we did our job," he said.
"That's what they're paying us for."

Not sure about the quality of post-grad services available as I have not had to make use of them.
Online Courses:
Offers several online courses in every subject area.
Academic Experience:
Modern facilities, several internship opportunities.
Academic Experience:
Offers a good emt and registered nursing education.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Have had a few minor issues with the financial aid office, however, they were easily resolved.
Academic Flexibility:
I have not had any issues. Most of the teacher have been very accommodating.
Campus Resources:
Offers a variety of campus activities and the library i very modern.
Overall Experience:
It provides a decent education at a reasonable cost.
It has a stellar registered nursing program available.
Student Body:
The student body is varied. It is a very diverse school with open minded individuals.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
If you have a higher amount of school loans, like I do, they do not let you take financial aid out. I have to pay for school out of pocket, which I have the last three terms to establish credit through Chemeketa.
Chemeketa is like a mosaic. It combines people of all sorts and brings them together in classroom environment's. The teachers are open and friendly and so many resources available.
Career Services:
I believe the career services here at chemeketa community college in Salem are a good asset to the school, they help a lot of students who need help getting out in the working field or just help getting back on their feet. There are lot of resources available for students who seek them openly.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The school's tuition is very simple and affordable. Financial aid process is somewhat difficult to get a hold of the financial aid people.
Campus Resources:
The resources on campus are okay. The campus activities are great anyone can join on the activities at anytime. The libraries are somewhat confusing to find because they are in different areas on campus. But the student centers are really simple to find what I am looking for.
Campus Resources:
The computer network access is great the wireless access is very convenient to the students. However, the network reliability is somewhat spotty and the speed of the network is not the best because the speed is very slow at times.
Academic Flexibility:
Some of my classes are some what flexible but other times are not flexible. Some hassles I have had would be getting a hold of some of the advisors or scheduling an appointment. For example, I used to set up an appointment with my advisor face to face but now it is now online and it is sometimes confusing to get to the website to set up an appointment with my advisor.
There are some things that are unique to Chemeketa Community College. For example, one of the things would be the athletics and recreation areas it is not completely functional for our athletic teams. Plus, the modernity of the areas is not completely updated.
Student Body:
The Student Body at Chemeketa would be a mixture of ethnic, economic, political, religious, and sexual. In Chemeketa, the students really do interact with different students.
Online Courses:
I really enjoy my online classes. My online classes differ from a traditional classroom because online classes I can study and do homework on my own free time. Traditional classrooms do give you face to face interactions between professors and their students but the downside is that the hours to go to class is inflexible like an online class.
Career Services:
My post-grad service at Chemeketa Community College is great. They really are interested in helping me succeed and in my future career. They help me to apply the things I learn in class to use outside of the school and they have really helped me focused in my future career. Overall, Chemeketa is really a great place to get started in my career.
Career Services:
I think Chemeketa Community College is a great place to start from especially if finacially you dont have a lot of money to pay for your classes and books. What I like about this community college offers programs and other resources like tutors and mentors who can help us develop our future career as well as counslers people who are there to help you succed. If your also looking for a job they also have offerings at the main campus where you can work while be in school they can work around your school schedule. I love it is a great school.

Point, Texas
Lake Tawakoni / Thousand Trails
[ 7/10 ]
We used this camp for an overnight stay on the way home from our summer adventure, and despite being off the main road was well worth the effort and cost savings. Strict speed limits in the park are correct for the agreeably bad road conditions, 5-10 mph is almost too fast in some places. The county road 1470 coming in is not very good either. Don't use MS-Streets and Trips to locate this camp, it'll put you in the middle of a pasture a few miles away from the camp. Take 276 to 47, south on 47 to (big TT sign here) 1470 head west and you'll be fine. We stayed in section 1, plenty of shade, gravel site, almost level, full hookup. New power stanchions at most we saw in this section. The pool was a short bike ride from the campsite and is large and well kept, no slides or diving boards, some shade on the west end. A bit strong on the chlorine, but that's to be expected these days. Bathrooms and showers were well kept and clean. The staff friendly and helpful at checkin. This is an older TT campground, but the fact that the lake still has water makes it better than some others in Texas.
Cottondale, Alabama
Sunset Travel Park
[ 7/10 ]
This park is fine for an overnight stay and given the selections in this state, it was a good choice for time and distance for our trip. It is divided into two sections, the one on the southwest side of the road where the main office is (sign says "Sunset 2 Travel Park"), and the second across and down the same road a few hundred feet. The second section is where we stayed in a pull-thru that was quite adequate for our 32' 5er. Gravel sight with concrete pad and full hookups. While they do have Wi-Fi, it's not Internet enabled so quite useless and we could not get the cable to work from either of the two connections available. Several long term trailers, but mostly clean and neat - felt quite safe. A portion of the interstate can be seen and heard about 200 yards away, but with A/C fan running full time, it didn't keep us awake.
Memphis, Tennessee
Graceland RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Price includes tax and while not cheap, some savings is realized by not having to pay for parking at Graceland next door. The Wi-Fi was almost perfect, our grandson was able to game online with his friends in San Antonio with only minor glitches. I marked the bathroom as not clean, but this was about the Men's, and they were usable, just not well kept. Security is better than any we've ever been to and big rigs should have no problem. We got a pull-thru with plenty of room to park the long wheel base 3500 MegaCab after disconnecting from the 32' 5er. As mentioned, you can walk through a back gate to take the Graceland tour which is not too pricey with the senior discount and the fact that our grandson was still 12. One note about the tour, each of the 6 different parts of the mid priced package take you through yet another gift shop. There is a Walmart about 2 miles south on Elvis Presley Blvd.
Choctaw, Oklahoma
Oklahoma City East KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Easy access, clean park, gravel roads and sites. Nice playground for our 5 year-old grandson. Friendly staff and accommodations, no noise from I-40. Did laundry: the driers are slow and so take a few extra $'s. Would definitely stay here again.
Tucson, Arizona
Prince of Tucson RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Overnight stay, easy to find, paved roads, gravel site, plenty of room for slide, a bit tight for backing 30' TT, pull through site reserved was not available on arrival. Friendly snow birds all around. Didn't hear any noise from freeway. Would stay again.
Needles, California
Needles KOA
[ 7/10 ]
Overnight stop, 2nd visit in two years. Easy to find and plenty of room for slide on TT. Gravel roads and sites with tall bushes between sites. Would stay again. Filled up at Westside Shell in Needles, and paid highest price for entire trip, $3.099/gal (and I needed 48 gallons for my F150)!!
Anaheim, California
Anaheim Resort RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Nice concrete pads, room for slide, and enough roadway to back 30' TT easily into slot. Shuttle to Disney was very convenient going to, if you don't stay too late. Also easy to return on, wouldn't walk that with 5 year old. Staff was helpful and friendly. Needed to find a repair shop since not allowed to work on TV in park. If doing Disney again, would stay here again.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque Central KOA
[ 3/10 ]
Came in at 7:30 pm, self check-in with Credit Card, list of sites to choose from at checkin stand. Took awhile to find site, many streets and slots a little confusing in the dark. Grandson enjoyed playground, even with frozen water on the slides. Gravel road and slots, fairly level, close together but enough room for slide, clean but nothing to warrant the price which they have a chart for based on different hookups, number of persons in party, and pets. Going to find something cheaper for overnight stay on next trip.

In a small city-state in southern Greece 2,500 years ago, a singer called Thespis first stood on stage in the guise of a fictional character. The Greeks not only invented drama, specifically tragedy: they also developed it into a form so accomplished and powerful that it remains one of the most important artistic achievements of all time. This Folio Society edition brings together all the surviving Greek tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, in the acclaimed University of Chicago translations, illustrated with masterpieces of world art and with newly commissioned prefaces.
From the beginning, the Greek tragedies showed human beings in conflict with the gods: they also dramatised conflicts between families, men and women, and individuals. It was the first time such events had been shown on stage: a momentous development. Yet there is nothing rudimentary or crude about these plays: they were born, as theatre director Sir Peter Hall puts it, at 'an extraordinary pitch of sophistication and maturity'. They have shaped the entire concept of Western tragedy as well as influencing philosophy and psychology, art, music and literature. They are an essential part of our cultural inheritance.
Aeschylus (525–456 BC) was the first of the great Athenian tragedians. Little is known of his life except that he fought at the Battle of Marathon, where his brother was killed. His play The Persians is the world's earliest recorded tragedy. Its subject is the defeat of the Persians in the Battle of Salamis, which had taken place less than a decade before and at which Aeschylus probably fought, but there is no triumphalism here. The Greek playwright tells the story from the point of view of the Persians. In its dramatic climax, the ghost of King Darius is told by his wife that his son Xerxes has led the Persian army to defeat and the audience is invited to share his grief and disappointment. With this play, and with works like the magnificent Oresteia, Aeschylus became the foremost playwright of Athens.
'The gods meant nothing except to make life hard for me,
and of all cities they chose Troy to hate. In vain
we sacrificed. And yet had not the very hand
of God gripped and crushed this city deep in the ground,
we should have disappeared in darkness, and not given
a theme for music, and the songs of men to come.'
Euripides, The Trojan Women, 1240‒45
'I pity you, children. You have come full of longing,
but I have known the story before you told it
only too well.'
Sophocles, Oedipus the King, 57-59
According to Plutarch, in 468 BC Aeschylus was beaten to first place in the Dionysia tragedy competition by a newcomer, Sophocles (c.496‒406 BC), previously a soldier, politician and associate of the famous orator and statesman Pericles. Sophocles used myths that were familiar to his audiences, such as the stories of Electra and Antigone. This allowed him to introduce tragic irony, a dramatic effect in which the spectators are aware of the truth while the characters are not – as seen in Oedipus the King, considered by Aristotle to be the ideal tragedy. Notwithstanding Sophocles' reputation for purity and perfection of form, he was also a great experimenter. His greatest hero, Ajax, dies halfway through the eponymous play; in The Women of Trachis, the hero and heroine never meet on stage; and Philoctetes, set on a desert island, is the only Greek play to feature no female characters at all.
Only seven of each of Aeschylus' and Sophocles' plays survive. Euripides (485–406 BC), however, has left behind a total of nineteen. His plays encompass a broader range of society than those of Sophocles and Aeschylus: his characters are as likely to be peasants as kings or warriors. Madness is a powerful theme that runs through his plays: both the madness that comes from sexual passion or anger, as in the Medea, or that induced by the gods, as in The Bacchae. When the queen Agave emerges from her Bacchic frenzy, holding the head of her son whom she has just murdered, her words – 'But who killed him? Why am I holding him?' – exemplify tragic irony, and the painful moment when a character stands on the brink of realisation. Though we no longer inhabit a world that, in the words of Ruth Padel, 'crackles with gods', Euripides' plays, like all the Greek tragedies, still speak powerfully to us all.
'Thus he went down, and the life struggled out of him;
and as he died he spattered me with the dark red
and violent driven rain of bitterly savored blood
to make me glad, as gardens stand among the showers
of God in glory at the birthtime of the buds.'
Aeschylus, Agamemnon, 1388–92
When two great classicists decided to translate the canon of Greek tragedy, their aim was to avoid the flowery and overly picturesque style of previous verse translations, and use direct, simple language. These translations, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore for the University of Chicago, have become the standard texts, not only for study but on the stage, where the power and drama of the original can still be felt today.
The Folio Society has commissioned new prefaces from a diverse range of acclaimed authors. Poet and academic Ruth Padel discusses how Aeschylus' plays stress the conflict inherent in human relations with divinity. Simon Goldhill is Professor in Greek Literature at King's College, Cambridge and an authority on Greek tragedy. He shows us that 'Sophocles explores with heartbreaking intensity how a noble commitment to what seems good cannot be separated from an extremism that breaks apart the very bonds of society it claims to defend'. Sir Peter Stothard, Lawrence Norfolk and Germaine Greer introduce the three volumes on Euripides. They pay tribute to his timelessness, with Professor Greer remarking that 'Euripides' great characters are not distinguished by heroic exploit or high intelligence or innate nobility; their explanations of their terrible actions are rationalisations and evasions, like our own'.
For over 2,000 years Greek tragedy has proved an enduring subject for art, whether on the red- and black-figure vases of ancient Attica or in the studios of 19th-century painters. This edition reproduces 33 great European paintings, ranging from Pallas Athene, attributed to Rembrandt, to Ajax by Nicolas Poussin. Each plate is tipped in, facing the title page of the play in question. Busts of each playwright are reproduced as frontispieces to each volume.

Dont panic, but Im sending your daughter to Duke Childrens Hospital. Though those words were spoken to me some seven years ago, I remember them as though I heard them yesterday.
At 6 weeks old, my daughter, Grace, began tugging at her ear. Thinking she had an ear infection, we took her to the doctor. As it turned out, her tugging was just a cute little habit unfortunately, what the doctors discovered when they listened to her heart was much worse.
My baby was rushed to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect that required open-heart surgery when she was 18 weeks old.
Grace is not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart defects account for nearly 30 percent of infant deaths due to birth defects.
The N.C. General Assembly has been discussing two bills, House Bill 105 and Senate Bill 98, that would mandate potentially life-saving testing for newborns. On March 4, the House bill passed unanimously. Discussion continues in the Senate.
Pulse oximetry, or pulse ox, is a simple, non-invasive test that monitors the amount of oxygen in a babys blood and the babys pulse rate. Low levels of oxygen in the blood can be a sign of a CHD.
If you have ever been in the hospital, you may recall a painless clip placed on your finger thats pulse oximetry in action. Without screening, some newborns with CHDs can be missed because the signs might not be evident before an infant is discharged from the hospital.
This is what happened to Grace. It should never happen again.
All children born in our state are required to have their hearing tested; certainly we should monitor our newborns for CHDs. A pulse-ox screen would cost consumers less than $5. Thats a bargain of life-saving proportions.
Last year, New Jersey passed similar legislation, and the very next day a baby was saved. North Carolina can wait no longer.
Today, Grace is a happy, healthy little girl. She is well aware of the zipper scar on her chest a mark all survivors bear. She has four scars below her belly button where chest tubes evacuated excess blood from her heart. Imagine watching those coming out of your newborn; it is as horrific as it sounds.
In many cases, the key is early detection and intervention, the earlier the better.
The work is not yet done. A bill is not law until passed by both the House and the Senate, ratified and signed by the governor.
Mandating pulse oximetry in North Carolina will save lives. As I wrote recently to our representatives and senators: There are so many things wrong with politics, but passing HB 105 along with SB 98 ultimately making this law is truly all that is right.

Organized religions are responsible for many wonderful things, too numerous to mention here.
But they also have a responsibility to safeguard against terrible things that are done in their name.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in two current controversies — one involving the Catholic archdiocese in Philadelphia, and the other an ultra-Orthodox Jewish congregation in Brooklyn.
Jurors are scheduled to hear closing arguments in the child-endangerment trial of Monsignor William Lynn involving his handling of several priest-abuse complaints.
Lynn, 61, was the Philadelphia archdiocese secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004. Dozens of priests have been accused of raping or molesting children in the archdiocese, yet were not reported to the authorities by the church and were allowed to continue to interact with young people.
Lynn testified that he was prevented from getting accused priests into treatment programs or removing them from parishes by the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua.
A similar despicable situation exists in the Orthodox haradi congregation of Agudath Israel, where abuse victims are discouraged and often ostracized for reporting incidents to police.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes has told Agudath Israel's leaders that police rather than rabbis should be the first ones notified in suspected child-abuse cases.
Agudath's executive vice president, David Zwiebel, has insisted that sex-abuse cases should be reviewed by rabbis before they are reported to police.
We understand that this policy is the result of centuries of warranted mistrust of authority in other countries by some Orthodox communities, but today, in the United States, this is terribly misguided.
While religious rights are precious and should be safeguarded, the Catholic Church and Agudath must understand that children must be protected. Nothing is more important than that.
Every state has "mandatory reporter" statutes identifying professions required to report child maltreatment under specific circumstances.
In New York, they include various medical personnel, including physicians, medical examiners, coroners, dentists, registered nurses, emergency medical technicians and social workers.
But not clergy.
Police — not priests or rabbis — are the experts in dealing with child-abuse claims. Hiding an abomination is an abomination itself.

Anatomy Of A Mauer Boo
by, 05-01-2012 at 12:37 PM (1665 Views)
Im not particularly fond of how Minnesota treats its sports stars. The Puckett-like love affair is rare. More often, we pick nits. Kevin Garnett doesnt score enough, or isnt clutch enough. Joe Mauer doesnt hit for enough power or doesnt show enough leadership. Fran Tarkenton cant win the big one, Harmon Killebrew is too quiet, Rod Carew is self-absorbed the list goes on and on.
(There are forces at work here that are slicker and far more powerful than subjective analysis. It feels like it has to do with the human need for entertainment, or drama, or our self-identity forcing us from one side to the other to find our niche. I have to believe some bright person has studied this the ebbs and flows of fame in a celebrity culture. If anyone knows of any books on this, Id love to hear about them.)
Ive defended Mauer consistently throughout his career. Most recently, it was an ongoing topic on the Gleeman and the Geek podcast for most of this offseason. The last time I wrote extensively about fan reaction to Mauer was just before his breakout 2009 season, in a story titled I Was Promised Superstar. If you have a minute, I think its worth the click. It recaptures the Mauer debate four years ago, and its funny how it has changed and how it hasnt.
What hasnt changed is the health debate. That was a concern eight years ago, and its a concern now, though the early returns this year appear positive. Whatever preparation or medical treatments Mauer has undergone are paying off, but I wonder if the important change wasnt one of philosophy. Prior to this year, there was a Iron Horse stubbornness about how often Mauer should play catcher, certainly fromh Mauer and possibly with the organization. Catching wears down a player. (In fact, we studied how that hurt Mauers performance a couple of years ago.) This year, hes playing every day, but resting at first base and designated hitter. And the overall results have been good.
The other debate that might benefit from a change in philosophy is the power debate. It seemingly went away in 2009 when Mauer hit 28 home runs on his way to the AL MVP award. It came back in 2010 when the Twins moved to Target Field and opposite field home runs became the stuff of fairy tales. In 2009, most of Mauers power was opposite field home runs. Hes hit just 14 home runs since the move to Target Field, and only two within its confines. To change that trend would require pulling the ball, a change that the uber-patient Mauer seems reluctant to even attempt.
Its also worth noting that while its fun to cite Games Played statistics and what hes batting with runners in scoring position, the overall impact numbers like WPA show that the fans know better than stats. Mauer hasnt had a particularly positive impact on games this year. Friday nights game (in which he demonstrated some power with a double and triple) was what finally lifted him to an impact above historically mediocre.
If youre wondering why fans have booed Mauer, that might be explanation enough. He generated enormous expectations, cashed in on those enormous expectations, and in what should be his prime years he isnt living up to them. Add to that a reluctance to change his philosophy, whether it be pulling the ball or swinging at a first strike. Finally, hes also the face of a franchise another role which he signed up for and for which he is richly compensated which appears to be exiting its golden era.
Add that up, and you get frustration, and frustration, not ignorance, is why fans boo.

State legislators from across nation sign letter to Obama, Congress urging health care reform within the year
Austin Guest on May 14, 2009 - 1:41pm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 13, 2009
CONTACT: Austin Guest, firstname.lastname@example.com, 212.680.3116 x 110
Leaders urge choice of public plan, offer collaboration in devising and implementing new programs
NEW YORK — Today, the Progressive States Network (PSN) began publicly circulating an open letter from state legislators to President Obama and Congress urging them to pass comprehensive health care reform within the year. The letter has already been signed by over 100 legislators from 27 states, including 19 health care committee chairpersons, and is gathering more signatures daily.
The letter maintains that "the private sector alone has proven incapable of creating a high-quality, fair, and accountable health care system that works for all families," and that our "disjointed health care system has formed a choke-hold on our economy." The letter calls for a "robust federal-state collaboration" to deliver Americans "the choice of a public health insurance plan that is available to businesses, individuals, and families."
In releasing the letter, PSN Interim Executive Director Nathan Newman cited state legislators' experience implementing comprehensive coverage plans as a strong argument for including them in the discussion around national reform. Thirty states currently offer the choice of a public insurance plan to their public employees. In recent years, legislative chambers in Wisconsin and Connecticut passed bills to open public insurance plans to the private sector and are renewing efforts in 2009. Similar measures have been introduced this year in Iowa, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, and Washington.
"State lawmakers have already demonstrated the policy background and political savvy to enact reform in a broad range of political climates," said Newman. "With hopes for federal health care reform languishing on Capitol Hill for the last few decades, it's been progressive state leaders who have worked to expand public programs like SCHIP, Medicaid, and public employee insurance pools to bring desperately needed coverage to their constituencies. If we're going to succeed in bringing quality affordable health care to all Americans, then state lawmakers must have a place at the table."
In addition to the choice of a public insurance plan, the letter calls for a comprehensive reform package that includes expanded support for Medicaid; cost containment measures; affordability protections; preservation of patients' ability to choose their doctor; shared responsibility among employers, individuals, and government for financing health care; and the elimination of racial, ethnic, gender, and rural disparities in health care coverage.
The letter, which is being circulated for additional signatures, will be delivered by a delegation of state legislators to the President Obama and Congress during a visit to Washington D.C. this June. The delegation will be headed by Connecticut House Speaker Christopher Donnovan, Wisconsin State Senator Jon Erpenbach, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser, and Maine State Representative Sharon Treat.

Progressive States Network is a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the work of progressive state legislators around the country and to the passage of state legislation that delivers on issues the issues that matter to working families: strong wage standards and workplace freedom, balancing work and family responsibilities, health care for all, smart growth and clean energy, tax and budget reform, clean and fair elections, and technology investments to bridge the digital divide.

Dr. Steven M. Brown
The Jewish Theological Seminary announced today that Dr. Steven M. Brown, dean of its William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education, has accepted the position of Head of School at the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy in Philadelphia, where he lives, and will be leaving JTS at the end of June 2008.
Chancellor Arnold Eisen has appointed Dr. Alan Cooper, provost, and Dr. Carol Ingall, Dr. Bernard Heller Professor of Jewish Education, to serve as co-chairs of the search committee to find a successor to Dr. Brown.
Dr. Brown came to JTS in 1996 as director of the Melton Research Center for Jewish Education at JTS and assistant dean of the then newly formed Davidson School. He was appointed dean of The Davidson School in 2003 and has also continued to direct the Melton Research Center.
"Steve Brown has been an extraordinary leader of The Davidson School, and I have greatly enjoyed working with him and learning from him over the past eighteen months," said Chancellor Eisen. "He has a remarkable grasp of the challenges facing Jewish education in America today and knows what we need to do in order to meet those challenges. Under his leadership The Davidson School has not only grown in every respect but increased its service to the Jewish community—whether in the area of leadership education, teacher training, or curriculum development. I value his wisdom and his friendship. We at JTS wish him well in his new duties as head of the Barrack Hebrew Academy and will continue to call on him for advice and inspiration."
"I came from the field to the academy and now return to the field," said Dr. Brown. "My twelve years at JTS have been among the most satisfying of my career. It has been the highest honor and privilege to lead the William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education and the Melton Research Center. I must acknowledge Bill Davidson, whose vision and support have resulted in this graduate program of Jewish education that is second to none. I have learned and grown so much from my interactions with faculty, students, program directors, and two magnificent chancellors. I now wish to take much of what I have had the opportunity to contemplate, develop, pilot test, and evaluate and apply it to the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy, an academically outstanding pluralistic day school that is poised to be a flagship institution in North America."
Dr. Brown has extensive training in the practical application of educational research, along with years of experience as a teacher and an administrator. Under his leadership The Davidson School has grown to become the largest pluralistic graduate school of Jewish education in North America. Among his many accomplishments are the bridging of academy and work in the field through the creation of such programs as the Day School Leadership Training Institute and the interdenominational Leadership Institute for Congregational School Educators (in collaboration with Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion). He also facilitated numerous curricular projects, including Ma'alah, the highly successful early childhood Hebrew immersion program.
Editors/Reporters: For further information or to schedule an interview with Dr. Brown, please contact Sherry S. Kirschenbaum in the Department of Communications at (212) 678-8953.
Founded in 1886 as a rabbinical school, The Jewish Theological Seminary today is the academic and spiritual center of Conservative Judaism worldwide, encompassing a world-class library and five schools. JTS trains tomorrow's religious, educational, academic and lay leaders for the Jewish community and beyond.

Times West Virginian
Flu and influenza-like illness continues to increase in the region and around the state, and some area nursing homes also have temporarily changed visiting policies because some of their residents have come down with the virus.
"We do have several patients with the flu," said Ruth Blair, administrator at The Arbors at Fairmont, on Thursday.
Patients started coming down with the flu late last Friday, Blair said, and the number of patients "varies from day to day as the symptoms go away. We do have several people. We've reported it to the health department, as is required, and we're trying to limit visitors. We're asking people not to visit."
Signs have been posted alerting visitors to the situation and asking them not to come in, both for the protection of the residents as well as the people they may come in contact.

Michaels Latest Retailer to Warn of Possible Customer Data Breach
Federal law enforcement, security experts working on the situation.
Posted by Shannon Antinori (Editor) ,
Arts and crafts retailer Michaels is the latest retailer to warn customers of a possible data breach.
This weekend the popular retailer, which has stores in Joliet, New Lenox and Oswego, announced some customer payment information may have been compromised. The Texas-based company said it is working with federal law enforcement and third-party security experts on the situation.
Michaels CEO Chuck Rubin took to the company's website this weekend telling customers they learned of the possible fraudulent activity on some payment cards used in the stores, "suggesting we may have experienced a data security attack."
"We recommend that you remain vigilant by reviewing your account statements for unauthorized charges," Rubin's letter stated. "If you believe your payment card may have been affected, you should immediately contact your bank or card issuer. If we find as part of our investigation that any of our customers were affected, we will offer identity protection and credit monitoring services to them at no cost."
This comes on the heels of Target's customer data breach which impacted 70 million customers. Neiman Marcus also had recent reports of a data breach involving customer payment information.

A Tacoma architect hired to help reboot the site selection and design process for a new Tacoma Amtrak station Wednesday unveiled more than a dozen concepts for creating the new station in Freighthouse Square.
Jim Merritt's 14 basic concepts ranged from a station combined with work-live units in one end of the more-than-1,000-foot-long former Milwaukee Road freighthouse to a new structure built over the street at the building's east end.
Merritt's proposals were designed to meet public complaints that a preliminary design for the new station unveiled by the Washington Department of Transportation in December failed on several levels to respect the historical integrity of the freighthouse, to integrate the station into the retail activity in the building and to create a structure that the Tacoma community found attractive.
David Smelser, the transportation department's Cascades program manager, said the state and Merritt studied virtually every combination of options for the new station location.
"We looked at all parts of the building except the food court and Sound Transit station area as locations for the station," Smelser told the crowd of about 50 people gathered late Wednesday afternoon at Freighthouse Square's Rainier Room.
Merritt's concepts were designed to fulfill the wishes citizens expressed in several public forums over the last six weeks.
The state must complete a new station for Amtrak by 2017 when passenger trains are switched to a new route through Tacoma that cuts through the city near the Tacoma Dome, follows a gulch to South Tacoma and subsequently to Lakewood before rejoining the BNSF Railway mainline again near Nisqually.
That route will replace the route that now follows the Tacoma waterfront along Ruston Way, cuts under Point Defiance in the Nelson Bennett Tunnel and follows the Tacoma Narrows shoreline under the twin suspension bridges and proceeds southward past Steilacoom, McNeil Island and JBLM. The rehabilitated route is designed to cut the trip between Seattle and Portland by nearly 10 minutes and reduce bottlenecks on the present route.
That route requires a new Tacoma station as part of the $80-million rerouting project.
Merritt, a longtime Tacoma architect and former mayoral candidate, said each of the concept designs has its merits and issues.
The task of creating a station within the long, narrow Freighthouse is complicated by the fact that the tracks that border the structure are beginning a long, uphill climb toward South Tacoma. That means that those tracks are below the Freighthouse's floor level on the building's east end and rise to above main floor levels by the time they reach East D Street. The Freighthouse itself on the east end is four stories tall while on the west, it's only two stories.
Many of the Tacoma architect's concepts maintained a corridor through the station area for connection to the Freighthouse's retail and restaurant operations. WSDOT's December design walled off the station from rest of the historic wooden structure in a new utilitarian building at the Freighthouse's west end.
One of Merritt's designs placed the Amtrak station just east of the existing food court, the building's busiest section. The existing Sounder commuter rail station is located just west of the food court.
The food court could then serve as a waiting area for both the Amtrak and Sounder stations, said Merritt.
Another concept called for placing the Amtrak structure at the building's far east end either in the existing building or in a new structure spanning East G Street. If the existing structure were used there, the floors would have to be lowered to track height, a doable, but possibly costly, feat. Building on the east end would offer the possibility of using ground floor space off East 25th Street for vehicular access and handicapped parking.
Several of the design concepts, such as creating work-live apartments above the station, called for public-private partnerships because federal grant money used to build the station can't be used to create retail or residential spaces.
No clear favorite among the concepts emerged at Wednesday's meetings, though several attendees praised placing the station in the central part of the building near the retail activity.
Smelser said the concepts will now go to the Amtrak Station Relocation Citizens Advisory Committee next month to narrow the choices to a preferred location. Once that preferred location is decided, the department will conduct a building condition assessment in that location and present conceptual designs and materials to the committee by midsummer. Engineering and design would begin next fall.
The department, reacting to queries from citizens attending, said it will look into posting the basic design concepts on-line or displaying them publicly for further comments.
