The Native American stone mound that's causing so much consternation is indeed a stone mound, rock-upon-rock stacked atop what once was one of Calhoun County's most picturesque hills. But Smith, with assistance from what he termed Oxford's "archaeological advisers," says the stone mound is "the result of natural phenomena."
Really, mayor? Where's the proof?
Since the mayor wants Oxford residents to believe this theory, let's briefly play along. Perhaps the stone mound is a remarkable remnant from an ice-age glacier. Or, though unlikely, perhaps tornados that often terrorize northeast Alabama were the cause. Even better, the stone mound may be Oxford's version of those mysterious and unexplainable British crop circles.
Lots of suppositions. Lots of expert opinions. And still people don't believe.
Which got us to thinking: What other "natural phenomena," to use the mayor's written words, exist in Oxford?
Under the logic of Smith and the city's archaeological advisers, such occurrences may pockmark all corners of the ever-growing town Smith has led since 1984.
If humans didn't place those stones atop that hill, then can we be assured that humans built Leon Smith Parkway? Or the Quintard Mall? Or the myriad upscale residential developments that continue to draw residents to the city?
Thinking of generations past, did the Old Rock Stadium's stone grandstand come to be because of natural occurrences? Did the long-departed Oxford College campus evolve from a natural phenomena — think Oxford Lake or Choccolocco Creek — more than a hundred years ago? Did Lick Skillet's origins include an abundance of stone mound "natural phenomena" just as Anniston's included an abundance of naturally occurring iron-ore deposits?
It's time for a dose of reality, taken liberally.
It's clear that the saga of Oxford's stone mound is a topic that City Hall wants to go away — fast. It's an unexpected albatross hanging from the city's neck. It's choking away some people's common sense.
It was easier to play along with Oxford's stone-mound attitude when it seemed more a case of Smith's worshipping of retail development vs. the protection of natural history. That, in its own twisted way, was distasteful to like, yet easier to fathom.
But Smith's written implication that archaeologists from the University of Alabama, from Jacksonville State University and several independent parties are wrong about the mound's origin is laughable. One needs no geology or archaeology degree to see that.
Smith seems to be trying to quickly diffuse this unappealing situation by writing that in fact it doesn't exist, that the stones have no cultural or historic value and are merely piled naturally atop a hill.
He wants those concerned about preservation to believe his theory, to take the opinion of his archaeological advisers as fact. He's going to be disappointed.

It sounds like we may actually have a season… Great news, because I'd hate for this whole process to have been all for naught. Last week we kick started the second round of the Cage Match Goalie Tournament and also introduced to you the inaugural Loser's Bracket. Let's see how the voting shook out.
#1 Tuukka Rask over #4 Jonas Hiller – 46 votes to 11 votes.
This was billed as a classic proven vs. potential matchup but I don't think it's really that simple. While Hiller is proven, he has only started over 60 games in a season once and over 50 games in a season twice. He has 233 career starts to his name but his season totals have mostly been mediocre. Last season Hiller was a workhorse starting 73 games for the Ducks but the results were highly mediocre. In fact, you could argue that it was his worst season as a pro and this comes just a year after Hiller did his best "Lucille Two" impersonation. Suffice to say that whatever Hiller has proven just isn't all that attractive.
Rask, on the other hand, is being handed the keys to the Boston Bruins kingdom and has a license to kill. We may not know for a fact that Rask will produce but all evidence indicates that being the Bruins goalie is as cushy a job as can be and since Rask, a blue chipper if there ever was one, has spent the last three years apprenticing for the job there is no person better qualified to take over. Sometimes potential just needs a chance to prove itself. Rask is getting that chance.
#2 Carey Price over #3 Ilya Bryzgalov – 41 votes to 17 votes.
It's become pretty clear that anything attractive about Bryzgalov in net was created by Dave Tippet and Shawn Burke. I mean, how awful was Bryz last season? He played like a man forever worried a bear was going to pop up behind him. And then you look at the miraculous season Mike Smith put up in Phoenix not one summer removed from finishing off a train wreck of a season in Tampa Bay in which he played so poorly that the term sieve doesn't even do it justice because at least sieves keep some stuff out.
Clearly in Phoenix they have themselves quite the used car lot. They do their best to get these lemons running on the lot. You might even get a good test drive or two out of them but a lemon's a lemon and Philly bought themselves an expensive one.
#1 Marc-Andre Fleury over #4 Miikka Kiprusoff – 26 votes to 24 votes.
That's just about as close as it gets but Fleury narrowly prevails. The problem with this matchup was that no one really knows what to expect from either of these goalies. Kiprusoff is as reliable as it comes for getting you a lot of starts but it is damn near a 50/50 coin flip whether or not he is going to put up quality numbers in any given season. Worse yet, Calgary is looking to suck something awful this year, which cannot be good for Kipper's numbers.
Fleury, meanwhile, well he just doesn't seem like he's all that good. He shows flashes of brilliance but over the course of a full season his flaws just seem to come out way too often and by the end of the season he's lucky to be a top 10 goalie. Fleury plays for a guaranteed winner though so he has that going for him. The problem is the Penguins also brought in Tomas Vokoun, who up until last season's horrific stint in Washington, was a secret golden child in fantasy circles. How many starts does Vokoun need to steal from Fleury to remove any and all advantage Fleury typically gains from playing for the Penguins? I say it's somewhere around 30 but that Vokoun won't quite get there.
#3 Kari Lehtonen over #2 Cory Schneider – 28 votes to 26 votes.
UPSET!!!!!! UPSET!!!! We have an upset! Another real close matchup here as well though, which makes it seem like the Hasek Bracket is the most competitive bracket of them all.
I totally get how Lehtonen could pull this one out. Lehtonen has always been a talent and ever since he escaped from Atlanta he has been a new man. He's remade his body around proper nutrition and that's helped keep him healthy and dominant. It also helps to longer be playing for a moribund franchise. Lehtonen is locked in as a starter who will not only play a lot but produce quality numbers.
Schneider, on the other hand, still has Luongo looming. Many, myself included, is confident that the Canucks can deal Luongo whenever they choose but clearly there is a good portion of the population that isn't so sure, or at the very least won't gamble on it. I'm cool with that. You also have to factor in that Schneider may not have the stamina to be a full time starter. His situation is close to the one Rask has in Boston, but there are more question marks and those have caught up to him.
Just to cover all our bases however, I see a lot of people picking Dallas as a real sleeper/contender. I'm not buying this entirely. They are still really young, especially on the blueline. A lot of people look at that youth and see upside but I see growing pains. The Stars really weren't that good last season. They clutched, grabbed and clawed their way to stay competitive last season. In my eyes they played not to lose rather than to win and it worked in a sense that they weren't embarrassingly bad but at the same time they clearly weren't very good either. Whitney and Jagr will help give them some credibility but does the sum total of the Ribeiro and Ott for Roy and Eakin deal push them forwards or backwards for this season. It feels like a backwards move to me.
Ultimately things in Dallas could hinge on whether or not Jamie Benn makes the leap or not. He's clearly a gifted player but is he the next Rick Nash or can he make like Claude Giroux and kick it up another level. My vote is for something closer to Nash and with a lack of depth and experience on the blueline I think Dallas lingers near the bottom of the conference one more year. I think that if more voters shared this opinion that the vote would have gone a lot differently.
This week will feature the second half of our second round matchups, these ones coming out of the Sawchuk and Dryden Brackets.
#1 Ryan Miller vs. #5 Craig Anderson
This is a solid Northeast Division rivalry. The answer to the question, which goalie is better for this coming season could just as easily be asking, which team will finish higher in the Northeast Division. It's really that close. So are Miller and the Sabres headed for a bounceback season? Are Anderson and the Senators due for some regression? Let us know!
#2 Jaroslav Halak vs. #3 Jimmy Howard
Division rivalries abound in the Sawchuk Bracket. This time around it's a Central Division matchup and one with even more question marks. Do you take the part-time starter on the stingy team or the full-time starter on the team that just lost a hall-of-fame defenseman? Decisions indeed!
#1 Mike Smith vs. #4 Niklas Backstrom
This one is really simple; do you believe in Dave Tippet's system or not, because if you don't well then need I remind you once again about the disaster that was Mike Smith two years ago.
Sure Backstrom's a factor here but you would have to be swimming in an entire vat of Wild koolaid to take him ahead of Smith if you think what Smith did last season was for real.
#2 Cam Ward vs. #3 Roberto Luongo
Fresh off the first ever shutout* in Cage Match Tournament history, Cam Ward now takes his next challenger.

Now let's take a trip down to Loser Lane…
Last week we introduced four islands upon which our first round losers were banished. We handed you, the people, the power to rescue one goaltender from each island. Let's see who you voted for:
Semyon Varlamov – 32 votes. Varlamov escapes Salo Island with an emphatic victory over his competitors. The next closest loser had 12 votes cast their way.
Ondrej Pavelec – 33 votes. Pavelec put forth a real "Jacob from LOST"-esque performance in escaping Cheveldae Island, practically coming and going as he pleased and just generally running show.
Martin Brodeur – 27 votes. Can I call BS on this one? I mean, an online vote really does boil down to a popularity contest but let's get real here. This has nothing to do with Brodeur's legacy. At this point in his career Brodeur rightfully belongs on an island dedicated to the putrid awfulness that was Vesa Toskala. I say shame on you voters… SHAME!!!
Antti Niemi – 36 votes. Cloutier Island felt way too much like Sesame Street… You know, one of these things is not like the others…
Now that these goaltenders have escaped their respective loser islands they may now take their place on the Tower of Mediocrity! Basically, since it would take forever to run down the exact placement of each goaltender by online voting, it has been decided that each week the four escapees will be placed into tiers on the Tower of Mediocrity to help you get a sense of where each goaltender is valued. It isn't perfect but it should work.
Three goaltenders remain on each loser island and once again you get the opportunity to vote the best goaltender off. Choose wisely, for we don't want to topple the Tower of Mediocrity.
Toskala Island – Where no five-hole is big enough!
Cheveldae Island – Where the sun is so hot the even protection from the best roster isn't enough.
Cloutier Island – Beachballs abound!
Salo Island – Guaranteed to rattle your cage.
Please follow the links provided to cast your votes and make your voice heard!

Steffen said:
Let's face it, in keeper leagues, the waiver wire is often the best way to nab goalies. Somebody gets injured, the team goes to their NHL or AHL bench, or goes off-grid in desperation.
This is a position where, if you're not set with locked-in starters and/or reasonable depth, you can still correct mid-season if you pay attention.
Keep up the good work - it all counts.

The reason I chose to give my school a C was because its a smaller school so they don't offer as many classes which means I have to take a lot of classes online and I'm a hands on learner so its quite difficult.
Academic Flexibility:
The main reason I chose Globe was because they are the only school that has a veterinary technology program in the area. However, I didn't leave this school because the faculty and staff are great. They really care about each and every student (knowing every one of us by name!) and they care about us succeeding.

Forget Me Not
To the Ends of the Earth
Where The Heart Is
So here it is: don't bother.
If you're looking for a book with ridiculous and often raunchy dialog, a plot that is more geology lesson than mystery, and a hero and heroine who inspire not one whit of romance, then by all means, read Jade Island. On the other hand, if you like
a little romance with your romance, and a three hundred page lesson on the socio-economic importance of jade to China isn't quite your bag, I'd recommend you look elsewhere for some autumn reading.
Set in Seattle and Vancouver, Jade Island is the second of Lowell's books
starring the handsome/beautiful/rich/brilliant/talented Donovan family. The central character here is Kyle Donovan, who is winding up his recovery from some disaster
that befell him in the first book in the series, Amber Beach. The Donovan's
are in the gem and mineral business, and Kyle's particular interest is jade.
That brings
us to Lianne Blakely, the illegitimate daughter of a high powered Chinese businessman and his long-time paramour. Lianne has devoted her life to the study of jade in order to gain acceptance by her father's family, the rich and powerful Tang clan. Her expertise
is put to good use on the family's large jade holdings, but she is always an outsider.
When important jade artifacts begin disappearing from mainland China, Lianne is suspected. The Donovan's owe Uncle Sam a few favors, so Kyle and his brother
Archer are assigned to case.
It's not quite a co-inkydink when Lianne and Kyle meet up at a huge gem/jade auction. She has been instructed by her father to meet Kyle and, if necessary, seduce him. He's basically been told the same thing. So when sparks fly from their initial meeting, its an added bonus. Kyle isn't sure if Lianne is involved in the high stakes jade thievery, but
he sticks close and manages to pick up quite a bit of knowledge on the history/social significance of jade. In this, the author is quite impressive. The book is impeccably researched, and there is no doubt Lowell spent countless hours reading up on every
fact she could find regarding jade. Unfortunately for the reader, she includes each and every fact in the book. And though I might have been impressed by the author's
research, it makes for some really boring reading.
Worse still, the author seems to think that she can spice up the action by throwing in some heavy breathing between two characters who show more concern for a bunch of old
green rocks than they do for each other. The sex scenes (no "lovemaking" here) are inventive, but more primal than passionate. I like a good "down 'n dirty" as much as the next girl, but when there are no emotional ties binding the reader to the characters, it's
just plain sex between strangers.
Still, I think I could have forgiven the rather unpleasant randiness of the couple if it
wasn't for dialogue like this:
"I was screwing you because you got me so hot I didn't know which end was up. I'm
still picking splinters out of my butt from the dock. Wasn't I a gentleman, sweetheart?
You only got splinters in your knees."
Sounds like erotica from the pen of a fourteen year old boy. From Page One the
dialogue is that immature. What is supposed to be "fun" banter between brothers
reads as incredibly callous and just plain mean-spirited. Kyle and Archer spend
half their time cursing at each other. And they're in good company. One of the female characters uses language that would not only make a sailor blush, but would cause him to run out and buy a bar of soap to stick in her mouth. I'm certainly no puritan who can't handle a little blue language in my romances. But is the author's unrelenting use of the word d**k supposed to be representation of "realistic" dialogue? It's not the word itself
that bothers me (to my great shame, I've used it often enough.) It's the fact that it is
used so gratuitously – sprinkled almost arbitrarily throughout the proceedings.
No reader is fooled by that sort of vulgarity for vulgarity's sake. At times it was glaringly out
of place. I found myself wondering why all the characters were so miserable that the
only way they could express themselves was through four letter words. Beyond that, much of the dialogue is simply inane:
"Okay, boys and girl," she said. "Listen up. Some really big elephants are at play.
Right now, you're the grass underfoot, soon to be ground into mud. If the idea doesn't appeal to you, grab hold of Uncle Sam and climb up for the ride. You'll be a lot safer."
Yeah. Whatever.
Jade Island is a strange book. I even wondered if it was authored by two different people. It's one half sleep-inducing dissertation and one half bad B-movie dialogue. In either case, it's a shame, because there is one element of this story that I haven't yet mentioned that is truly unique: how often to you come across an Amerasian heroine? Or a romance dealing with Chinese/American culture? Unfortunately, what
could have been one of the book's most fascinating elements is completely lost in the
aforementioned morass.
So after all this, if you're still inclined to read Jade Island, for heaven's sake
wait for the paperback.

Reno led 5-0 early, but relinquished the lead and fell behind 9-6 in the eighth. In the home half of the frame, though, Jake Elmore brought the Aces to within two on a sacrifice fly, and two batters later Ruiz unloaded the bases with his second grand slam of the season, pushing the Aces to an 11-9 lead. Jonathan Albaladejo slammed the door in the ninth, and the Aces escaped with the series-opening victory.
Victor Capellan (1-0) earned his first-career Triple-A victory after recording the final two outs of the seventh inning. Starter Zach Kroenke did not figure into the decision, allowing eight runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings of work.
The loss fell to Rainiers reliever Oliver Perez (2-1), who surrendered Ruiz's blast in the eighth. Tacoma starter Forrest Snow surrendered five runs on five hits with five strikeouts over 5.0 innings of work.
At the dish for Reno, Ruiz led the way with three hits and five RBIs, extending his hitting streak to 14-straight games. Elmore drove in three runs, while Adam Eaton and Cole Gillespie added multi-hit efforts for the Aces.
The series continues on Saturday night from Aces Ballpark. RHP Brian Sweeney (0-0, 4.63 ERA) gets the nod for Tacoma. Reno's starter has yet to be announced. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. PT, and the night will be highlighted by an Aces Batting Practice Jersey Giveaway, presented by Dillard's.
Tickets are on-sale now at RenoAces.com, by calling (775) 334-7000 or by visiting the Aces Ballpark Ticket Office.

By Susan M. Cover firstname.lastname@example.com
State House Bureau
AUGUSTA – The Maine State Employees Association voiced strong opposition Wednesday to a bill that would prohibit it and other public employee labor unions from donating money to candidates for statewide office.
Rep. Peter Johnson, R-Greenville, said he is sponsoring L.D. 110 because he believes it's a conflict of interest for unions to be able to give money to legislators who then determine their pay and benefits.
"Elected officials have an obligation to protect taxpayers' interests as well as the welfare of our employees," he said. "The system of allowing unions to influence the election of officials who will vote on or sponsor legislation designed to favor their members is a clear conflict of interest."
However, the MSEA, which represents about 10,000 state workers, called the bill unconstitutional and unfair.
"In the arena of self-interest, however, we are no different and no less than other organizations that benefit directly from state policies and budgets," said Ginette Rivard, president of the MSEA. "Hospitals, for-profit and nonprofit businesses and health insurance companies are just a few that come to mind."
Union attorney Timothy Belcher said the bill violates the union's First Amendment right to contribute to political campaigns, and equal protection and due process guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. He called the bill "a regrettable attempt by the sponsors to silence Maine citizens whose voice they find objectionable."
"A vote for this bill is a vote against freedom of speech and association," he said.
In addition to Johnson, one other person spoke in favor of the measure. Paul Johnson of Oakland - no relation to the bill's sponsor - is a retired state worker who thinks the public would have more confidence in government if these types of perceived conflicts did not exist.
"This would restore public confidence," he said.
The bill will be considered at a work session set for 1 p.m. Feb. 20. While it may come out of committee with a split vote, it seems unlikely to pass in the Democratic-controlled House and Senate.

Welcome, Unregistered.

as far as the windows installation goes, I don't know..
The problem lies in how Lenovo decided to go with how the Windows License Key is stored and how the bios boots Windows in the first place. I'll skip over the technical explanation, but basically if you want to use the Windows License that came with the machine, the computer expects the hard drive to be partitioned in a very specific way. If it is not partitioned in that way, the bios won't validate the copy of Windows installed on the drive.
This is awesome. That means I can order a 200GB+ mSATA and use it a primary drive. Thus, keeping the 1TB drive it came with for file storage and what not.
It should possible, though not very convient. If you were to install on an mSATA drive it would be easier. Basically, you will need to clone the internal hard drive on to the SSD somehow using this software. [extend-partition.com]. (One key migrate to SSD).
That requires you to attach the SSD while the internal hard drive is still plugged in. Which leaves you with two options: an external USB HDD case or the $100+ HDD caddy sold by Lenovo for this machine that fits in the same spot the second 650m is in.
The cheaper option will be the external USB case.
EDIT: Almost forgot...
There is also another way. Download the Win 8 disk image from Microsoft, burn it to DVD, and use that to install Win 8 again. Now, Lenovo has stored the Windows License Key in the bios and quite a few people have reported that their computers don't have the Win 8 stickers on them. They have had to use software to force the computer to cough up the Win 8 key, write it down, then go through the normal install procedures.

I have a 256gb 830 samsung ssd. can i put it in the extra storage bay, put windows 7 on that, and then wipe the terabyte? use the SSD for windows 7 while the already installed TB is the storage drive?..
shouldnt be hard right? just wanting to clarify before i buy it.
Will this laptop use a port replicator?
Sent from Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.
Ok, so I have this computer, and I just put in a 128 msata on my own, using a fresh install. Drivers are easy to come by (even the sli ones), and you leave out all the unneeded programs lenovo so thoughtfully installed for you...however, if you are truely worried, there is another partition on the hdd that houses a bunch of drivers for use as recovery.
I had purchased a W8pro upgrade with back up dvd disk. Since I have the SLI model, I cloned the disk on another comp to get my iso, but you can find them online (though i'm not sure you even need them, see below). from the iso I used the win 7 usb install software from microsoft http://www.microsoftst
You have to get a little tricky then as if you want to keep the uefi and not legacy install, you go ahead and write to the usb, but this program formats the usb as ntfs, which uefi does not like. So you can either copy all those usb files back to your hdd or just go straight to a another usb that youve formatted as gpt with fat32. I also think you possibly can go ahead and skip to this point - if you set your file view options to view hidden system stuff, I think you'll see a folder called ESD under in your C:. Those files to me look like they are the same that go onto the usb.
Next from win 8 itself (not even boot screen) type in uefi into the search bar to get to advanced start up options. pick that and you'll get the option to boot from usb. select install windows and you are done. with the uefi, the win 8 key is stored in bios, so it'll install without prompting for a key.
oh, i through trial and error did some other steps, which i'll report, just in case they ended up being needed. i think i put in the msata, just booted up regularly then (because the old one was just used as cache, windows wont care its gone). i configured the drive as gpt and left it completely unallocated.
Now, you can also get into some other stuff for moving the user folders or other stuff to your TB drive for storage, to keep max space on your smaller msata. The steps here worked for me. http://www.tested.com/tech/2341-h...ary-drive/
this all sounds much more complex than it is, though it may be easier to do that clone os to ssd stuff some other people have posted...
then again, if you just want windows 7, id imagine thatd be pretty easy, just make sure you select legacy bios first.
Also, I in general like this computer. my touchpad is just fine, though i did receive a synaptics one. the screen is pretty good - not as good as my trusty dell sxps 1640 with rgb, but still nicer than most out there. i don't play super rough games, but it handles the blizzard ones quite well. i wish it had 4 usbs instead of 3, but that's what hubs are for. it doesn't get super hot, though the air blowing while running diablo would be uncomfortable probably if it was right on you.
Thinking about pulling the trigger on this one, but this thread [lenovo.com] here leaves me worried.
But I am somewhat encouraged by neweggg's replacement policy.
Pros: The pills were there.
Cons: So was the tank.
Hey guys i just received the i7 version of this laptop, its great so far. but i have a question i saw earlier that you can use a program to mount the os into an mSATA drive, i was planning to do this but not very good with this stuff has anyone done this or know of a reliable guide?
Oh by the way my trackpad is working fine it seems.
i was planning to install windows 7 on this laptop, but after searching on lenovos drivers website, they dont have "SLI" drivers, just standard nvidia drivers. However, Windows 8 drivers include "Nvidia SLI Drivers"... I wonder if Windows 7 will support the dual SLI
Remember the 650m SLI drivers are completely custom made by Lenovo. You'll need to download or use the installer on the 1TB it came with.

What kind of year was 2012 musically? Which artists rose to the top? What musical trends did you hear? We review the year in music with The Vera Project's Beth Warshaw-Duncan, Liz Riley of Three Imaginary Girls and writer/DJ/hip-hop artist Larry Mizell. What musical discoveries did you make this year? Share them with us at 206.543.5869 or email@example.com.
On today's show, we bring you some of our favorite segments of the year. We talk about vulnerability, photography and The Boss.
Is There Power In Vulnerability?
Being vulnerable and open to failure makes us uncomfortable, but according to the research of Brene Brown, we can't have success without vulnerability. Ross Reynolds discusses the power of vulnerability with University of Houston Professor Brene Brown.
Seattle-Based Artist Goes Small Then Large To Highlight The Big Picture
Mina Miller is a Seattle pianist who founded the organization Music of Remembrance 15 years ago. Her passion for the organization springs in part from her family history. Mina comes from a Holocaust family.
Two-time Grammy Award-winning musician, composer and vocalist Taj Mahal is celebrating four decades in American blues and roots with a new album, "Maestro." He joins us in the studio to talk about his musical life and legacy ahead of a run of shows with the Taj Mahal Trio starting tonight at Seattle's Jazz Alley.
Wayne Kramer was the guitarist of the protopunk 60s band, the MC5. When the band broke up, Kramer drifted into addiction and drug dealing which landed him in a federal prison with a four-year term. Today he works on a program called Jail Guitar Doors, working to get music into prisons. Ross Reynolds talks with Wayne Kramer about music programs in prison.
We speak with Karen Porterfield, candidate for Congress in Washington's 8th District, and Priya Guha, Britain's top diplomat in the Northwest. Plus, we hear live music from members of the award-winning Roosevelt High School Jazz Band and get a weekend weather forecast from Nick Bond.
Seattle's Tudor Choir is a 20 year-old institution founded by a University of Washington student with a passion for music and history. During his years at the University of Washington, Tudor Choir founder and artistic director Doug Fullington put together a group of fellow students to sing English Renaissance music associated with the Tudor Monarchy of the 15th and 16th centuries.
Local record producer and writer Pat Thomas recently compiled a collection of music written by and for the Black Power movement, "Listen, Whitey! The Sounds of Black Power 1965–1975." One of the musicians he discovered in putting the album together is a woman named Elaine Brown. She was the head of the Black Panther party during the mid '70s. Today, she's most well known for her activism for prisoners, but Pat thinks her music from the late '60s and early '70s has a message that still applies today. He recommends listening to "Seize The Time," "The End of Silence" and "Until We're Free."
Seattle native and MC Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis sit down with Ross Reynolds to discuss their careers, upcoming album and involvement with Washington's pro same-sex marriage campaign.
Musician Dave Matthews has a new album called "Away From The World." He's just home from tour and joins us to muse on everything from the upcoming presidential election to avoiding wheat. Tune in for an off-the-cuff conversation between Dave and Steve, and pledge your support for KUOW.
Marcus Pimpleton talks a lot about family. When he's teaching music, Pimpleton might compare a decrescendo to the way teens yell at their parents: they start loudly, but quickly get quiet when they realize it's a bad idea.
"People [in the band] appreciate you and treat you like family," Pimpleton told RadioActive's Farhan Vohra. He was describing the close-knit group of 150 students and mentors from the greater Seattle area who participate in the All-City Band. "They make it a comfortable place to be who you are."

A Covington County grand jury has indicted the Andalusia mother accused of breaking her 1-year-old daughter's arm in three places, dragging her up a flight of stairs and locking her in a bedroom so she and her boyfriend could allegedly "eat lunch without hearing the crying."
Tiffany Ann Riley, 21, and Jermaine Pate were arrested in July following the incident at a local apartment complex. Reports indicate the two had a history of domestic violence – Pate was on probation for a domestic violence charge, and according to witness statements, the two had verbally abused and repeatedly spanked the child for crying.

The No. 1 overall draft pick out of Utah in 2005, Bogut has been limited to just four games this season while recovering from microfracture surgery on his left ankle.
When he was acquired from Milwaukee last season, the 7-foot Bogut was recovering from a broken ankle. The injury caused him to miss the remainder of the season.
He underwent surgery in April and played in four of Golden State's first five games this season before announcing he was taking time off to strengthen his ankle.
Bogut is averaging 6.0 points and 3.8 rebounds.


text: Won't meet current code...once a vent, always a vent. When you start to use the vent as a drain from above, it is no longer a vent for below. Now, the stuff below isn't vented properly per today's codes, either. Your choices are: run a new drain line down, or a new vent line up. You can combine the vents at 42" above the new stuff (or 6" above the flood plane, whichever is higher) so you maintain one vent through the roof, or just vent it separately, if it's easier.

With better analysis, the benefits of using LEDs
for street lights are now becoming clear to more government
While much of the media and lighting
industry's focus in the past year has been on replacing
household lighting with more efficient light sources, a trend that
started over five years ago using solid-state light sources for
municipal lighting is now taking strong hold. Help in analyzing
benefits is leading to new examples of implementations popping up
every month.
In late 2006, Raleigh officials converted one
floor of a municipal parking garage to LED lighting to test light
quality, energy use, and consumer reaction. The result was a 40%
energy savings, and Raleigh utilities provider Progress Energy
noted that light quality was greatly improved. Two hundred garage
users were before and after the LED lighting was installed, and
positive reactions to the garage's lighting after LEDs
were installed were three times higher. Further, 74 % of the
respondents felt that safety was significantly enhanced.
"The economic benefits for
municipalities to invest in LEDs are clear — they save
energy, reduce environmental impact, and improve the quality of
light," states Mayor Charles Meeker. "We
believe that the cost savings and benefits of LED lighting are real
and achievable today."
Bright LEDs, big cities
More recently, The City of Boston joined the LED
City program, which now numbers 25 cities throughout the world as
members. According to the city's website, Boston has
64,000 electric street lights, which use 65,000,000 kWh and cost $8
million annually.
In December 2010, the city's Street
Lighting Division began converting mercury vapor and sodium lamps
to LED. A year later, the city had decreased it's
electric use for street lighting by 5.1-million kWh. By the end of
2012, it will have installed 23,000 LEDs. This will save $2.8
million annually, and the City of Boston plans to continue with
more conversions in 2013.
On the dark side
Conducted in Sacramento, CA, starting in March
2011, the test used three lamp-ballast replacements selected by the
city, in coordination with manufacturers and their sales reps, as
well as an LED luminaire selected by Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory (PNNL) to represent best-in-class LED performance for
this project.
PNNL created a computer model using
manufacturer-provided photometry and predicted that none of the LED
products would match the photopic performance of the existing 100-W
high-pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires. Measurements not only
verified none of the LED products matched the initial light levels
produced by the existing HPS luminaires, but also confirmed two of
the LED products greatly reduced the uniformity of
Thus the study found that any energy savings
from the LED products examined were directly attributable to
reduced photopic light levels. Further, the report said that the
performance gap between HPS and LED luminaires widened when light
loss factors were considered. In conclusion, it said that,
"The results indicate the four LED products evaluated
would not represent cost-effective replacements for the existing
Light at the tunnel's end
In September 2012, the DOE published Demonstration Assessment of LED Post-Top Lighting
Host Site: Central Park, New York City. In this case, the
study found that, of the five luminaires tested, three
"cost effectively reduced energy use and met or exceeded
measured illuminance values relative to the metal halide
Several other studies recently released by DOE
have produced similar results. ■

5 Ways to Cut the Fat from Your Grocery Bill
Watch that price scanner, buy in bulk, and get organized.
Eating is an expensive habit. And if you're anything like me, then food probably consumes a significant portion of your budget. On average, American families spend $9,478 a year on food alone -- that's 13.3 percent of their total household budgets, according to a recent survey by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
To help you get a grip on this tasty but often expensive cost-of-living, here are five ways to cut the fat from your grocery bill.
[Slideshow: 10 Inventive Ways to Save]
1. Make a grocery list and check it twice. Going through your kitchen before hitting the supermarket is free, and planning ahead can fatten your wallet by preventing expensive impulse buys. You might even save on gas by being organized because you won't need to make a second shopping trip to buy those forgotten items. Use this Free Printable Grocery Shopping List to help you plan your next trip to the market.
2. Stop clipping crappy coupons. Take a good look at the grocery coupons you're clipping before getting excited about the deal. Many coupons offer deals on highly packaged foods low in nutrition and high in unpronounceable ingredients. Skipping the crappy coupons and opting to pay a little bit more for whole foods may be a better deal for your health in the long run.
3. Watch the price scanner. Mistakes on price scans are common at the grocery store and can cost you additional dollars. A Consumer Reports survey found that 6 percent of respondents were overcharged at the grocery checkout, and no particular chain stood out as more or less accurate. Watching while your grocery prices scan and verifying their accuracy at check-out can save you money and may even score you free food -- many grocery chains will give you the item for free if it scans at the wrong price, but it's up to you to spy the error.
4. Buy generic items over big brand names. Save a huge 10 to 50 percent on every shopping trip by switching your brand name buys for generic items. It costs big bucks to market brand name products, and you're paying for that expense when you buy a food item with a recognizable label. Compare many generic items to the brand name equivalent and you'll find that the brands are not necessarily better than their less-advertised alternatives.
[See 10 Unusual Ways to Save Money Now]
5. Skip the cans, buy dried beans in bulk. Why are you buying beans canned in captivity? Buying dried beans in bulk and soaking them overnight is a frugal way to add protein to your diet without paying for the high cost of meat. Besides, dried beans are extremely cheap and expand when soaked, so your family gets more meal for every dining dollar spent by forgoing the canned variety. Check out 10 Reasons Soaking Dried Beans Can Change Your Life for some tasty instructions.
Finding simple ways to cut your everyday food expenses takes a bit of practice, but the payoff can be huge. Keeping track of your budget using this Free Household Budget Spreadsheet can also help you save money on all your other living expenses.

Please call 1 (714) 520-5060 to book your vacation. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call.
Rocket into the outer reaches of darkest space on this high-speed thrill ride that blasts into the future and back. Board a sleek space ship and aim for the stars as Mission Control counts down to the most daring launch of your life!
Join thrill-seekers at the mysterious Hollywood Tower Hotel for the ultimate adrenaline rush. For the longest 2 minutes of your life, rise and fall at terrifying speeds in the hotel's haunted elevator, again and again!
The Haunted Hotel
Cross the decrepit grounds of the once-elegant Hollywood Tower Hotel and wind your way into the abandoned lobby. Time has stood still since the night of October 31, 1939 when lightning mysteriously struck the tower, plunging 5 unfortunate elevator occupants into oblivion.
After passing through the dilapidated lobby, enter the creepy library, where the television plays a "lost" episode of The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling invites you to enter the elevator and discover the secret of the unfortunate 5's disappearance.
Do you dare?
The Service Elevator
Continue to the sinister boiler room, where the hotel bellhops encourage you a bit too cheerfully to strap yourself into one of the seats in the rickety service elevator. Rise up floor after floor in darkness as the elevator occasionally stops to provide a ghastly glimpse of those who disappeared that frightful night. The elevator stops at a vestibule in front of a large, ornate mirror, in which you can catch your reflection as Rod Serling speaks:
"Wave goodbye to the real world!"
Touches from The Twilight Zone
Throughout the attraction, you can find props from episodes of the original version of television's classic series, The Twilight Zone. These include:
And many more!
Your Earthly Belongings
You will want to either store your loose belongings — such as hats, glasses and purses — in a pack that you can hold on the ride or hand them to a friend or family member who is not boarding the attraction so that you can fully enjoy the experience.
Decide Not to Ride?
If you find the Hollywood Tower Hotel too frightening and decide you would rather not board the elevator, just notify one of the bellhops of your intentions. You can exit the attraction or wait there for your party to return.

Quotes from the governor's State of the State address:
ON EDUCATION: "Many people say I'm an angry person. I will say this. I'm a very passionate person about education. I speak passionately because education is what saved my life. I cannot accept any child not being given the same opportunity I had."
ON CHARTER SCHOOLS: "School choice should not be just for the wealthy and the elite. ... All Maine students deserve an equal chance of success, whether you live in Cape Elizabeth or Fort Kent. This is how we break the cycle of generational poverty for Maine's children."
ON JOBS: "Folks, if you want to create a job, I want to be there to help you. However, let me be perfectly clear. I am not interested in helping those who increase the cost of living on Maine people for personal financial gain."
ON MAINE'S UNPAID HOSPITAL BILLS: "Hard-working Maine families face two choices, pay their bills or face the debt collector. It is embarrassing that state government is not held to the same standard as every Maine household."
ON ENERGY: "We are killing ourselves with high energy costs. ... "My predecessor fast-tracked permitting for wind projects. We're going to do the same for natural gas."
ON HIS FIERY PERSONALITY: "That's why I'm always angry, domestic violence, taxes, energy costs ... it's a terrible thing. But I'm doing better. I'm working on it."
He challenged the Maine Education Association, the teachers union, to set aside a portion of union dues to put "into the classroom," which he said he would match with a portion of money.
He said Maine has the highest per-pupil administrative costs in the nation.
U.S. Census data doesn't quite support that claim. In 2009-10, it says, Maine was behind Vermont and the District of Columbia, spending $1,220 per student.
LePage also urged legislators to support his plan to borrow money to pay the state's $186 million debt to Maine's hospitals. The borrowing would be repaid with money from a renegotiated wholesale liquor contract.
LePage called it "embarrassing to work for a state government that doesn't pay its bills."
In a news conference, Democrats said they are committed to paying hospitals, but liquor money should be looked at in the context of the entire budget.
Despite many quibbles on policy, both sides praised the governor's tone in his speech.
"I think the governor struck the right tone of passionate advocacy for Maine children and families," House Minority Leader Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, said in a prepared statement. "Our policies must, above all else, ensure that Mainers have bigger paychecks, lower bills, and our children have a brighter future right here in the state that we love."
The governor, wearing a blue tie, gave Alfond a one-armed hug near the House rostrum just before the speech. They have had a publicly chilly relationship so far this session.
After the speech, Alfond, fresh off a long-awaited meeting Monday between LePage and Democratic leaders, said he thinks bad blood may have subsided.
"In 24 hours, it's 'Kumbaya,' " Alfond joked. "Now it's time for us to do the important work that's ahead of us."
