Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it affects about 13 babies in every 10,000 births. Its primary effect is mental retardation and a number of physical abnormalities.The child may have special medical problems of the heart, stomach, eyes and other parts of the body. Some problems in Down syndrome involve the bones and joints (musculoskeletal system).
- Developmental delays. A child with Down syndrome will eventually reach the same growth milestones as other children. But, he or she may be slow learning to turn over, sit, stand, walk or do other physical activities.
- Joint instability. Children with Down syndrome may have joints, such as the hip or knee, which slip out of place or become dislocated. Joint laxity in the neck may be excessive. This can lead to compression of the spinal cord.
- Other Problems. Down syndrome may also lead to other problems, such as flat feet and bunions.
Getting early medical care and treatment (intervention) can improve the health of a child with Down syndrome and address some musculoskeletal problems.
Because children grow most rapidly during the first three years of life, it is important that the child have a comprehensive medical examination at birth.
The doctor may recommend a special program of physical therapy, exercise, and other activities early on. Early intervention can help a child with Down syndrome achieve developmental skills and build muscle tone and coordination. It can also give extra stimulation and encouragement to help the child achieve his or her full potential in life. Many children with Down syndrome go on to hold jobs and live independently well into middle age and beyond.
Early diagnosis and treatment is also important for managing orthopaedic problems in children with Down syndrome. Some children may need splints or other devices for physical activity. Sometimes your doctor may refer you to a pediatric orthopaedist for specialized help or surgery.
In some people with Down syndrome, the upper part of the spine (cervical) is abnormal under the base of the skull. Muscles are weak and ligaments may be looser than they should be. Potentially, this can cause bones (vertebrae) in the neck to press on the spinal cord, leading to an inability to coordinate muscle movement and weakness.
Any progressive changes in a child with Down syndrome should be brought to the doctor's attention. These changes may include:
- Weakness, clumsiness and tripping
- Walking with stiff legs
- Having a stiff neck, neck pain, and headaches
- The doctor may recommend taking X-rays of your child's neck to look for joint laxity. In some cases, a child may be kept out of contact sports or other activities that put stress on the neck, such as high jumping, diving, gymnastics, and using a trampoline.
A child with Down syndrome should be encouraged to be physically active and consume a healthy diet. This will help them avoid excess weight gain and other physical problems. Your doctor can help develop a well-rounded exercise routine that includes aerobic activity, strength training, and stretching exercises.
Occasionally, a child with Down syndrome may need a type of surgery called spinal fusion to hold the bones in the neck together. This will prevent excessive pressure on the spinal cord.
Surgery may also occasionally be needed to manage looseness of the hip and knee joints and looseness of the joints in the feet.

316 N L B J Dr, San Marcos, TX | Directions 7866629.884859 -97.940276
Neighborhoods: Downtown Association
I've had an ugly name tattoo on my arm for years. Finally decided to cover it up. Went into Mystic Marks and Jeremy did a FABULOUS job. No way you'd ever know that other tat had ever been there. He was very nice and professional. This is about the fifth place I've had a tattoo from and I'd say Jeremy's work is excellent! I thought the price was very reasonable, too.
foot tattoo – I went to get my first tattoo touched up here and the staff was more then helpful since The first guy did a terrible job. Brian th guy who did the touch up did an amazing job, and added color to make it look better. I absolutely love it! The shop was clean and well organized, and everyone was understanding. And extremely nice. I would recommend anyone near to go here for anything. I will definitly be back for the awesome staff and well done work they provided me. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
ridiculous – went into the shop looking for this Luke that everyone here is talking about, and was told told he was in an accident and died. The guy I talked to was very rude and acted angry at the mention of his name. (guess they get a lot of people coming in asking for him). The place was dark and unorganized and just dirty looking so I left and started looking at other shops. HEAVEN BEHOLD... I found Luke alive and well, like three blocks away at a beautiful, clean, well lit shop, Body Expressions. He was very friendly and took my ideas and turned them into an awesome tattoo that I love! I would never let anyone at Mystic Marks touch me. and for others looking for Luke you can reach him on his facebook, by searching for Luke Callihan... I know for as long as I'm going to school here he will be the only one tattooing me! screw you Mystic Marks!
baby foot tattoo – I really want to thank Luke for doing my tattoo!!!! He did an amazing job. Before i went to mystic marks tattoo I went by classic tattoo cuz my friend referrd me there, they were very rude and when i said i would go somewhere they basically said everywhere else sucked. Well i love my new tattoo and everytime i am in san marcos I will always go to mystic marks and get my tattoos done by luke!!!!! :)
My sugar skull tattoo by Luke – I want to thank Luke for doing an amazing job on my sugar skull and roses tattoo. He is a great tattoo artist one who will even go in to work on his day off. He is a generous and a laid back person who has talent. I definitely recommend him when you go in for your next tattoo!
Support local art – If you like supporting local artists this is the place to go. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted for a while and Luke was able to finally turn that into a reality for me.
The best part is how the ink turned out, so even and dark, better than I expected. Thanks guys!
Best Tattoos in San Marcos! thanks Luke! – During my first semester of college I wanted to try and be a little "dangerous" and get a tattoo...i found Mystic Marks by chance and met the best tattoo artist around!- by the best i mean Luke of course...he was real laid back and cool and made the whole FIRST TATTOO experience completely comfortable and amazing. Even before I got the tattoo, he listened to me, gave me feedback, customized my tattoo and was completely professional. Even the atmosphere of Mystic Marks makes you feel like a badass and makes you feel like you are at a real tattoo place- they play no games. I plan on returning to Mystic Marks for every tattoo I get during college! Luke is absolutely amazing!...make sure to ask for him for the best results. -THANKS LUKE! :)
Are these reviews for the same place? – I walked in, and it was dimly lit, chaotically organized, and the staff was rude, which, after looking at their work, they can't afford to be. Do yourself a favor and stay away!
Luke At Mystic Marks – Luke at mystic marks is hands down the way to go if you are planning on getting any kind of ink. I originaly gave him a vague description of what i was looking for and told him to put his own artistic touch on it. What he came up with was more then anything I ever expected. He is really flexible as far as appointments go, proffesional, and is very meticulous when it comes to after care and cleanliness. This wasn't my first tattoo and i was overall impressed and fully satisfied with the work and service. Already in the works of getting more done from LUKE at Mystic Marks.
Tatto with Luke – I just got my very first tattoo. I was incredibly nervous, but Luke made the experience a truly lovely one. Luke is obviously very talented, and did an excellent job on my work, but he was also extremely accomodating, kind, professional, and reassuring. He proved to be a very calming, but capable presence which made the experience every bit as memorable and special as I had hoped. He went out of his way to ensure that the art translated perfectly from my mind to my body. Luke did a beautiful job on my tattoo, and really took the time to do the work right and make me comfortable. I will absolutely be going back for more work with Luke, and I will recommend him to everyone I know. I highly, highly recommend Luke to anyone getting their first tattoo done, as I just could not have asked for a better experience or result.

Best Options For AC Repair In Omaha
When hiring an tech, it is a great concept to hire a popular company for the task. Not just do they generally have solid evaluations for the quality of their work, but they are likewise most likely to be able to service any brand. If you require a spare part, or if your ac needs to have a part changed, they will have it on hand. This indicates you will not have to wait weeks, or months, which would be the case, with smaller, lower recognized repair work business, when you need your ac unit to work now, as the warmer months approach.
There are a variety of ac repair services which can be rendered; in many cases however, it is not worth doing repair work. For this reason, you want to employ a licensed company, and a business that is going to offer you with an honest assessment of the damage. Not only will they notify you if repair work can be done, however will also inform you of the overall expenses, exactly what you can anticipate after repair work, and whether it is worth doing repair, or if you ought to just purchase a brand-new system as opposed to overpay for unneeded work.

Not just will they have the appropriate parts, if new parts are required, they will likewise have experience to deal with the well known name brand name systems. From GE to Maytag, even if you have an older ac unit, as long as it is a top name brand model, the very best understood repair business, are going to be able to render the needed services, when you need work done.
When you need emergency situation ac repair services, you have to work with a company that won't overcharge you for the instant service needs. Whether you need to have the ac fixed in an office setting or in your home, companies that charge extra costs for emergency work, are likely not the best to do the repair for you. Look for business that provide emergency services, and do not charge an extra fee, just since they have to come to the home or workplace over the weekend, or after hours, for a repair work job that has actually to be completed right away.

What is the make and model of your equipment
We've been in our 8 year old home in Western NC for 5 months. We are on a well water system which consists of a deep well and a 3/4hp submersible pump. The treatment system has a 10X54 tank with air injection, 10X54 up flow AN tank with in & out head, Green sand filter for Iron and a water softener. I opened the sediment filter to find there was no cartridge in it so installed one. A week later the cartridge was full of dark silt and black gravel about the size of aquarium gravel. I'm thinking media from the up flow AN is escaping. After doing some research I'm convinced it would be best to convert it to a down flow Acid Neutralizer set up. I'm looking for advise on how to properly do this. Thanks, Paul C
What is the make and model of your equipment
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
I know that's a basic question but there is no identification tags or markings that I can see. Also my ph is 6.5 before the AN and 6.8 after. Here is a link to a few pictures. Maybe that will help identify the equipment. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y152o4c5728tx0c/vMsIooH0XD
You should not be getting gravel into a filter. this would usually come from the bottom of one of the tanks and would require massive flow to lift it high enough to exit a tank in an upflow system, not likely. It sounds like you have a bad bottom screen. If that is the case, this needs immediate attention. Can you take a picture of your system so we can see the exact flow and deign? Sounds like you have a fairly thorough system. Converting the AN to a downflow design is desirable and fairly easy.
Can you take a picture of your system so we can see the exact flow and deign? Pictures are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y152o4c5728tx0c/vMsIooH0XD
Following the pressure tank is the AN tank followed by the air injection tank followed by the green sand filter tank and finally the water softener. My pressure switch is 30/50. The air injection tank was before the pressure tank when we moved in. Someone told me that was bad and could cause a problem if it were to get blocked up, that it should be after the AN tank. I moved the air tank to after the AN tank only to find that then the air injection entrance was getting gravel etc. and reducing water flow. Maybe I need to remove the AN tank from the system for now?

I have removed the AN tank so no more gravel. Can someone tell me what is involved in converting it to down flow and exactly what order should tanks be installed in? Thanks
To convert your system to a downflow, you need to order a control valve, the 7000SXT or 2510SXT are ideal for this application. Order a backwashing filter valve. The riser tube should also be replaced, you would need to completely empty the tank of all gravel and calcite to be sure to get the new riser all the way to the bottom properly. If you are getting gravel through the AN filter, I would question if it is actually upflow. Double check bcause gravel would be very difficult to get to flow to the top of the tank. Be sure to order the proper backwash flow control to match your tank and media and water temperature. Can you post a picture of your existing equipment and the gravel you were getting into the filter?
"Be sure to order the proper backwash flow control to match your tank and media and water temperature. Can you post a picture of your existing equipment and the gravel you were getting into the filter".
Here are links to the pictures. Didn't know water temp figured into it too.
Finally see how to post water sys pictures here. As you can see the AN tank just has in and out and that is how it was connected, in to in out to out.

Commandline perl filter for, using a production.log from a rails app, display on realtime the count of requests grouped by "seconds to complete" (gross round, but fair enough for an oneliner) :)
Just want to post a Perl alternative.
Does not count hidden files ('.' ones).
Requires perl 5.14 or greater
- excel date compatible with a separate hour field
- added a fixed 1 for easier request counter aggregation
- split URL in directory, filename, fileext, query
- used with tomcat valve with response bytes replaced by elapsed time
This one line Perl script will display the smallest to the largest files sizes in all directories on a server.
The crypt function takes a password, key, as a string, and a salt character array which is described below, and returns a printable ASCII string which starts with another salt. It is believed that, given the output of the function, the best way to find a key that will produce that output is to guess values of key until the original value of key is found.
If you don't have seq, you can use perl.
Easily removes line #2 in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
Search in decimal rather than hex. od dumps the character list, cut to remove offsets, sort -u gives the used characters. seq gives the comparison list, but we need this sorted alphabetically for comm, which does the filtering. I drop to perl to convert back to characters (is there a better way?) and then use od to dump them in a print-safe format.
A different approach to the problem - maintain a small sorted list, print the largest as we go, then the top 10 at the end. I often find that the find and sort take a long time, and the large file might appear near the start of the find. By printing as we go, I get better feedback. The sort used in this will be much slower on perls older than 5.8.
Here's a perl version that only considers printable characters. Change the regex /[[:print:]]/ to look for different sets of delimiter characters.
This is especially useful to get crazy stuff like space characters copied to your pasteboard correctly.
Source: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.functions
Removes special characters (colors) in '^]]Xm' and '^]]X;Ym' format from file.
Use pipe ('input | perl [...]') or stream ('perl [...]
You can use 'cat -v infile' as 'input' to show special characters instead of interpreting (there is problem with non-ASCII chars, they are replaced by M-[char]).
This will also print the path to file which is not included in the other examples.
parse `lsmod' output and pass to `dot' drawing utility then finally pass it to an image viewer
This will create a new file with proper code formatting and all comments removed.
convert a unix timestamp to a human readable format.
Lists all the modules that were installed the "proper way". It also uses Perl 5.10(or higher)'s say command for less typing.

Urania's Well: Astrology for Changing Times
Magickal Monday: Your Guide to the Week Ahead - 9/10/12
As I mentioned in last week's post, Neptune dominated the Republican convention, but Saturn ruled the Democratic one. The inception chart for the DNC had 20 degrees of Capricorn rising, with ruler Saturn exalted in Libra, square to Venus in Cancer in the 7th house of public image. Venus was in mutual reception with the Taurus Moon oppose the Midheaven, which means that women and women's issues also are a strong focus in this chart (reflected in the attention given during the convention to Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Sandra Fluke and women's rights).
Saturn is the planet of governance, stability, practicality and tradition. It rules Capricorn, and also is the traditional ruler of Aquarius. It is the archetypal "Father Time" (which fits right in with the message of "we need more time" that was repeated by both former President Clinton and President Obama). In traditional astrology, Saturn is seen as a "malific", planet, one that brings "bad luck and trouble". Certainly it can bring restriction, inhibition, difficulty, delays, and disappointments. But above all, Saturn is the Teacher. It is not inherently malific, it simply delineates and holds the boundaries and limitations of time and space. It defines the arena within which physical existence is created from the matrix of universal Consciousness. Like any good teacher, Saturn challenges, but it also rewards, and can bring lasting gains — advancement built on a solid foundation, recognition for work well done, and the paradoxical freedom that comes only after you learn to function skillfully within limitations.
Michelle Obama has a Capricorn Sun in her natal chart, and possibly an Aquarian Moon, though we don't know her birth time. (We astrologers want to see Michelle's birth certificate!) Saturn is at home in Aquarius, widely conjunct Venus, and there is probably a conjunction between her Moon and Venus, whether that Moon is in Aquarius or Pisces. So, at least four, probably five, planets in her chart, including her Sun and Saturn itself, are in signs ruled by Saturn. The First Lady's progress through life has been notably Saturnian in its accomplishments. She had a solid, conservative upbringing, and a sterling academic career beginning in high school, through Princeton, to the J.D. from Harvard Law School. Her career in the public sector and academic administration also reflected Saturnian goals and accomplishments.
Her speech at the DNC on the opening night was a "grand slam" to quote CNN's Wolf Blitzer (and if there was rather more fuss about her dress than about any male politician's clothing, well, to my mind that says as much about just how snoringly dull men's clothing is as it does about holding women to a different standard). Anyway, transiting Venus ruled the event chart of the speech (Taurus was rising when she began speaking), opposing her Capricorn Sun, while transiting Neptune conjuncted her natal Venus — both aspects refer to beauty, glamour and being in the spotlight, and also highlight women's issues.
Transiting Saturn was exactly square her natal Sun, which reinforces my point about Saturn bringing rewards to those who learn its lessons. Saturn to the Sun, even in a challenging aspect like a square, can bring recognition and acclaim as often as it brings censure or rejection. Its gifts are not random, though. They are bestowed on those who, like the First Lady, have made the effort and done the work. Nonetheless, a square of Saturn to the Sun is always a challenging aspect in one way or another, and it's an easy guess that she is under no small amount of stress at the moment.
It is also worth noting that Saturn rules standards, and, according to the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at University of Wisconsin, "The First Lady's speech Tuesday was written at a 12th grade level - the highest in history among the wives of presidential nominees and far above Ann Romney's lowest mark of a 5th grade level."
The role of elder statesman is a quintessentially Saturnian one, and Bill Clinton, with his Leo Sun currently being sextiled by Saturn, played that role to the hilt in a somewhat over-long but highly lauded speech. Saturn also rules facts, and Clinton had plenty of those to share with the enthusiastic audience. His natal Moon is in 20 degrees of Taurus. When he began speaking, the transiting Moon was at 17 Taurus, conjunct the Ascendant at 18 Taurus, and transiting Venus was in his 10th house, in an over-the-sign-line conjunction with his natal Saturn at 2 degrees of Leo. (Note to convention organizers everywhere: Don't ever think you can rush a Taurus Moon and Leo Sun combination off the stage, especially under supportive transits. It just won't work!)
If you've wondered what astrological configuration gives Clinton his remarkable charisma, it's the Mars-Neptune conjunction in Libra right on his Libra Ascendant. Remember that Libra, ruled by Venus, is the sign of sociability, and getting along with others. The conjunction of Mars and Neptune usually gives tremendous personal magnetism, and when that conjunction is placed in Libra, also conjunct Venus, strong in the sign it rules, on the Ascendant, and combined with the Sun and three other planets in Leo, you have undeniable "star power".
Right now, transiting Uranus is in his 7th house, opposing his Ascendant and the Mars-Neptune conjunction. (This means, of course, that transiting Pluto is squaring that configuration.) Uranus, now retrograde, will directly oppose his ascendant at the end of October. I have no doubt we will be hearing more from and about Mr. Clinton in the upcoming campaign, and it's likely that there will be some sudden, unexpected, transformative and electrifying events around him.
I'll be taking a look at both Obama's and Romney's charts in the upcoming weeks, and assessing their chances for winning the election. But for now, let's move on to the week ahead:
The week begins with a sensitive, nurturing, waning Moon in Cancer, and Mercury conjuncting the Sun. A good day to take action on health-related issues, particularly with the Moon moving into a trine with Mars around noon (all times are Eastern) Take care of yourself and others, and remember to step back occasionally to look at the whole forest — don't just count the trees.
The Moon in Cancer through most of Tuesday, squaring Saturn around 6:00, and a semi-square between Mercury and Venus may mean people tend to be particularly sensitive to criticism today. You may not want to be kind and empathetic towards others, but make the effort anyway. Then spend some time in the evening taking care of yourself.
Wednesday dawns with the Moon well into Leo, conjuncting Venus then trining Uranus in the late morning/early afternoon. This is a sexy, sparkling, show-off combination, and if you have something you want to flaunt, now's the time for it. Just don't let the details or your ego trip you up — the Moon will semi-square first the Sun and then Mercury today, both in detail- and service-oriented Virgo. The Moon squares Mars around midnight — cranky, snippy, whiney behavior may be on the evening's menu.
Thursday, Venus in Leo begins to separate from its after-midnight trine to Uranus in Aries, while the Moon makes awkward, if minor, aspects to the outer planets. Unless the outer planets are on sensitive points in your chart, it will probably be a relatively quiet day.
Friday, the Moon moves into Virgo early morning, then opposes Neptune around 7:30 a.m. Grasping the details may bring some sense of emotional security, but it's important to keep the big picture in mind — and the Golden Rule as well. Later in the day, the Moon moves into a trine with Pluto. This would be a fine night to do an introspective magickal working — some kind of personal inquiry work on the Dark Moon to clear internal obstacles and set goals for the upcoming New Moon.
Saturday morning, with the Virgo Moon sextile Mars and square Jupiter, might be a good time to catch up on household errands and tasks, or to work on organizing something in your life. The New Moon in 24 degrees of Virgo happens at 10:11 p.m. A New Moon sets the stage for the month ahead. Where does this New Moon fall in your natal chart? The house that it falls in will be emphasized in the month ahead, and if you have any natal placements between 19 and 29 degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces), you will be especially affected by this lunation. (For more information on houses in your chart, see my earlier post.) Mercury is conjunct the Moon, and strong in its own sign, so there will be a particular focus in the month ahead on practical solutions, service-oriented work, analysis, criticism, and issues of health and well-being. Negative manifestations of this New Moon alignment include gossip, nit-picking, and lying.
On Sunday, first the Moon and then Mercury enter Libra, bringing a focus on relationships, balance, and social affairs. Mars in Scorpio inconjuncts Jupiter, a tense aspect. Games and adventures tend to get particularly competitive — don't let the urge to win at all costs wreck the fun. The Moon quickly moves on to square Pluto and Uranus in the evening — just a few days in advance of their next exact square. Again, we have a trigger for the ongoing lessons of this square — lessons of freedom and control, destruction and transformation, revolution and breakdown, stunning breakthroughs and deep insights. Watch where these planets fall as they transit through your chart. Which houses are emphasized? Which planets are aspected by the transiting pair, and which houses do those planets rule? This information will tell you in which areas of your life you are being challenged to break free and transform.
Until next week!

Fire destroys Andrews Manor restaurant
"The bulk of the fire was knocked (out) in just under an hour, and units remained on scene to quell the remaining hot spots. With the fire deemed under control, command held Companies 27, 37, and all three Truck Companies to assist the Investigations Unit. Company 27 did not clear the scene till (sic.) four hours later."
The restaurant is the N.Y. Chicken, Fish & Grill, which opened earlier this year. I dropped by there for the first time just a couple of days before the fire and ordered catfish, collard greens and mac-&-cheese. It was delicious. So good that I decided I'd go back once a week and try whiting or trout or perch, or catfish again.
Next time I drove past the shopping center, N.Y. Chicken was boarded up.
I'll also write next week about the death of my former neighbor Pat Rosa. Her son Tony called me with the sad news.
Jean Glaubitz reports that her granddaughter Dawn and Jeff LaBar took their son, Justin, and his fiancée, Rachel Weaver, for a two-week vacation in Hawaii, in honor of Justin's 25th birthday.
A car crashed into the front of a 7-Eleven in the 6300 block of Allentown Road a couple of Saturdays ago, doing significant damage to the store. The driver, a woman in her 60s, was not injured, and the police believe the cause to be driver error.
Dulles International Airport just celebrated its 50th anniversary. I remember that my daughter Kathleen was invited, along with her friend Valerie, to attend the November 1962 dedication, because Valerie's father, Ralph Clark of Camp Springs, was with the firm that developed the airport. They spotted President John F. Kennedy, who did the dedicating.
Condolences to John Tierney on the death of his sister, Vivian Cook, on Thanksgiving Day.
New minister installed at Camp Springs church
This is Rev. Fenimore's first congregation serving as a pastoral minister. She previously worked as a Director of Religious Education and then Minister for Religious Exploration in various congregations throughout the area.
Southern Maryland Hospital meeting postponed
MedStar, the new owner of Southern Maryland Hospital, has postponed its community meeting — which I announced in last week's column — from Dec. 18 to "sometime in January." I'll keep you informed, but if you need information now, you can call 301-952-8885. The hospital plays a big roll in Southern Maryland, and we all need to know what the new management will have to offer.
Harry Garner remembered at the golf course
When Ruth and Harry moved to Morningside, they already had lots of family there — Ruth's sister Mary and Howard Booth and their children Janet and Howie; Ruth's sister Margaret and George Rogers and children Donald and George; and Ruth's brother Norman "Buddy" and Elizabeth Loveless and children Edward and Barbara. As Janet Booth Kaye remembers, "I was a lucky girl to live in walking distance of all these wonderful relatives."
Harry Jr. married Nancy Justice in 1964. They lived in Waldorf until he retired from Pepco and then moved to South Carolina. It was there that Harry realized his lifelong dream of working at golf courses. On the Saturday following his death, he was remembered by staff and members, family and friends, at the River Hills Golf & Country Club where he had last worked.
Survivors include his wife of 48 years, Nancy; sons David, Brian and Timothy; daughter, Kelly; his sister Judith Goodman; and 11 grandchildren. Another son, Michael, died in 1986 and Harry's mother, Ruth Garner, died last February.

Located in the east parking lot of the Sears store near NE 20th Street and 148th Ave NE, the Overlake South Detention Vault (one of three underground stormwater facilities planned for the area) will be the first regional facility to serve Overlake.
Developed by the City, and the recipient of a $1 million grant provided by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE), the structure will store and slowly release stormwater that drains to nearby creeks. It will significantly reduce erosion and will introduce water quality benefits to the stream system, providing a more ecologically stable home for the salmon population in the Kelsey Creek Watershed.
Over the years, as surrounding property develops in Overlake, park facilities are proposed to replace the parking on top of the vault. The development of this park would occur in the future, alongside other neighborhood redevelopment projects. In the meantime, parking use by the owner of the property will continue.

Tech Talk Live Reloaded: Share Customizations
TTL starts back Wednesday 6th July and continues on the first Wednesday of every month.
The first episode in this series is all about the Share add-ons Alfresco's Partner Enablement team developed for the official partner site.
This session provides an overview of the customisations they have developed for this real-world example, which have been recently added to the Share Extras project. The add-ons include:
- Flash-based video previews and in-browser playback;
- A Site Poll Dashlet, which allows site administrators to define a number of polls in which users can vote;
- Custom policies for managing content expiration and UI components to report on this;
- A Password Reset utility for the Share login page;
- An Administration Console add-on for bulk-creating users;
- Activity tracking using Google Analytics.
Will Abson, will present a brief overview of the add-ons, after which there will be an interactive technical discussion around the topics brought up, such as:
- General development methodologies;
- Best practices in customising Share and Alfresco;
- Skills required and level of effort involved;
- Useful resources.
With Jeff Potts, Chief Community Officer and Will Abson, Solutions Engineer at Alfresco.

Washoe County School Superintendent Heath Morrison departs for the land of St. Jesse Helms this month and may not see much difference between us and them.
A half-century ago, apartheid Nevada was rightly nicknamed as Mississippi West. We still suffer from that hangover.
A few days ago, outgoing Democratic North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue said "We look like Mississippi."
Helmsville just passed a queer-bashing constitutional amendment.
"I think it's wrong for North Carolina, clearly and simply," Perdue said.
"People around the country are watching us and they're really confused, to have been such a progressive, forward-thinking, economically driven state that invested in education and that stood up for the civil rights of people. Folks are saying what in the world is going on in North Carolina," she added.
The anti-same-gender marriage amendment passed with nearly 61 percent of voters in support, glory hallelujah. Worse than Nevada's already-festering apartheid law, the Southern crackers even banned civil unions giving partners equal rights. The South has risen again.
The governor of Mississippi quickly responded by trashing Perdue for criticizing the wisdom of the voters. Hmmm ... didn't the same voters elect Perdue in 2008? Who said logic and follytix had anything in common?
I love reading the Charlotte Observer. On the same page as the newest echo of late racist GOP Sen. Jesse Helms ("the liberals and the homosexuals are opposing my re-election") was this Yahoo ad: "Jesus Upheld Gay Rights! New Finding: Jesus purposely revoked Moses (sic) prohibition on homosexuality. JesusOnHomo-sexuality.com."
Did they get an e-mail?
News tip: Monitor CharlotteObserver.com this weekend. Dr. Morrison will.
He ruled the Washoe education apparatus with an iron fist and reacted with unreasoned anger against those who dared communicate with elected board members. His underlings warned offenders never to repeat their transgression if they ever wanted anything from the school district again. With elected officials kept in the dark like mushrooms, it's been easy for Morrison to originate or change policies without board approval.
No school trustee has responded to this now six-part Barbwire series, although one ostrich asked to be deleted from all further communications. Staff has not responded to innocuous information requests.
Sit down and shut up
Morrison ordered a library rally canceled last Monday. Back in 1997, a group of local activists and former NFL players led by NAACP stalwart Darryl Feemster and former UNR football star Charvez Foger raised money to build a library between Glenn Duncan Elementary and Traner Middle School. About 96 of every 100 students thereat qualify for free lunches because their family incomes are so very low.
Teachers at the school scheduled a rally to save the library but apparently failed to clear it with the Gestapo. Morrison not only ordered it stopped but also told his subordinates to stonewall it Nixon-style.
A meeting was scheduled for Tuesday between school staff and Washoe County Library System boss Arnold Maurins. Educators, defying Morrison, spread the word. Maurins kicked out everybody, including Feemster, the Reno Gazette-Journal, KOLO TV-8 and KRNV TV-4. RGJ education writer Michael Martinez reported the incident online but somebody deleted that critical information from the next day's print edition.
Media types keep focusing on Maurins' spin that he's only talking about eliminating funding to keep the library open an extra five hours a week. Not so.
"Librarian Marilyn Jones says about one-third of the items in the library currently belong to the Washoe County School District, while the remaining two-thirds belongs to the Washoe County Library System," KRNV TV-4 reporter Dina Kupfer stated. "Jones is concerned that if the county withdraws from the partnership with the district, many of the resources available to students would be taken away." That includes computers.
Feemster expresses the same concern but Maurins still wants to close the place, stating that he needs to best allocate library resources. Where better than in the most deprived part of town?
The library board meets Wednesday at 4 p.m. at the Reno Town Mall branch, but the last word will come from the Washoe County Commission, which controls the purse strings. They next convene at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the county complex, at the corner of Wells Avenue and Ninth Street in Reno.
If you can, show up and speak during public comment and ask that they keep the library funded both for the students and the entire neighborhood. You may also speak on Item 6B authorizing transfer of surplus county property to the library system. The commission will open a second session beginning at 6 p.m. with public comment also available.
As former Sen. Joe Neal, D-North Las Vegas, once memorably expressed, "A library is a poor man's university."

I worked at NCsoft
Pros – The only reason was the location of the office, downtown Seattle.
Cons – There is not enough words to explain how terrible this place is. There were people who would last one day, on average employees would leave every 3 months, just enough time to realize how messed-up the company was. No leadership, complete chaos caused by the HQ and the lack of professionalism in the Seattle office. I could not wish this company to my enemy. The joke at the end of every week was how many emails we would get from HR informing us that people were leaving (though usually, HR would send an email per exec. request 3-4 weeks after the employees had left). The exec. team tries to hide everything. Employees are treated like idiots. No support, no recognition, no raise.
Advice to Senior Management – Shut down this mess and at least do yourself a favor...or go through a total revamp.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Anime that effects your personal life?
Besides being entertaining and fun to watch, has an anime ever inspired you or taught something you can apply to real life? I can think of a few occasions, I know naruto used to be very inspiring for me. How he helps everyone he comes in contact with over come something they're dealing with, and just makes the world a brighter place! (someone to aspire to be like!) Most recently (as in a few hours ago) there was a scene in kenichi that hit me pretty hard. Talked about something I've been dealing with for months actually.
Re: Anime that effects your personal life?
You know what they say. CLANNAD is life.

Re: Anime that effects your personal life?
I don't know about inspiring me or anything, but Kimagure Orange Road always made me a hopeless romantic...
"Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction where ever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

Angel Beats really made me think long and hard about what it means to live a fulfilled life. Oh and of course it made this grown man cry like a little girl, that anime has that kind of effect as well
Re: Anime that effects your personal life?
I've sampled and named lots of my songs after animes.
I also have a couple anime themesongs on my ipod.
I saw some idiot with that girl from full metal panic tattooed on his arm and he had no clue who she was.
I lost my virginity during an anime convention.
I also lost my wallet.
So yeah anime has affected my life.
Re: Anime that effects your personal life?
It's not an anime yet (but it should be!!!), but manga/TV drama Otomen. It has inspired me to live your dream, no matter what people may think of you!!! >w<
I'm also pretty sure that Digimon/Sailor Moon/Tenchi/all the 90s anime has affected my desire to be a comic book artist. UwU

"May we say hallelujah! This decision agrees with us that Congress may not reward ministers for fighting a 'godless and anti-religious' movement by letting them pay less income tax. The rest of us should not pay more because clergy pay less," Gaylor and Barker commented.
U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb for the Western District of Wisconsin issued a strong, 43-page decision Thursday declaring unconstitutional 26 U.S. C. § 107(2), passed by Congress in 1954. Quoting the Supreme Court, Crabb noted, "Every tax exemption constitutes subsidy." The law allowed "ministers of the gospel" paid through a housing allowance to exclude that allowance from taxable income. Ministers may, for instance, use the untaxed income to purchase a home, and, in a practice known as "double dipping," may then deduct interest paid on the mortgage and property taxes.
"The Court's decision does not evince hostility to religion — nor should it even seem controversial," commented Richard L. Bolton, FFRF's attorney in the case. "The Court has simply recognized the reality that a tax free housing allowance available only to ministers is a significant benefit from the government unconstitutionally provided on the basis of religion."

The Peter Grubb Hut is in need of urgent repairs. The Sierra Club is currently in the process of evaluating the condition of the hut and the extent of the required repairs. Evaluating and repairing the hut will cost money. Please support the reopening of the hut and make a donation here.
Peter Grubb Hut is three miles north of I-80 at Donner Summit. It was built in 1938-39 by friends and family as a memorial to Peter Grubb, who had just graduated from Galileo High School in San Francisco and was on a bicycling tour of Europe when he died at the age of 18.
The hut has a main room with a wood-burning stove, tables, and a kitchen area. An upstairs sleeping loft accommodates 15. A single-story annex on the east side is sometimes preferred by smaller parties. A two-story outhouse is 75' WNW of the cabin.
Overnight parking is available at a California Sno-Park on the I-80 frontage road east of the Boreal Inn. From I-80 there is 800' of elevation gain over the first two miles to Castle Pass, then a descent of 250' to the cabin in Round Valley at 7,800' (see USGS Norden 7-1/2' topo map). The route is poorly marked by orange triangles mounted obscurely in trees at 100-200 yard intervals. The cabin is just off the Pacific Crest Trail and is a popular day trip destination.
From the hut there are day trip possibilities to Paradise Valley, Basin Peak, Castle Peak, and Sand Ridge Lake. Round Valley is a good instructional and practice area for skiers.

Two-Run Eighth Pushes Butler Past Valpo
Wednesday, April 20, 2005Valparaiso, Ind. - Valpo's six-run sixth tied the game, but Butler scored two in the eighth inning and held on to defeat Valpo 8-6. Josh Piazza had two hits for the Crusaders (10-19).
Butler's Dale Mueller hit a two-out, two-run triple in the eighth for the final margin.
The Crusaders, trailing 6-0 entering the bottom of the sixth, scored six runs on two hits. Kevin Kutansky delivered an RBI single and Matt Augustine produced a sacrifice fly to trim the Bulldogs' lead to 6-2. Kutansky scored when Jeff Rickert reached on a throwing error and John Giusti's infield single and the third baseman's throwing error cleared the bases to force the tie.
Butler (13-21) scored three in the second and one in each of the third, fifth and sixth innings. Matt Martino had three hits and Mueller and Matt Ferguson had two hits and two RBIs apiece.
Valpo plays at Notre Dame Thursday at 6:05 p.m.

SAN JOSE (March 30, 2008) In a bruising battle of Bay Area rivals, undefeated Cung Le broke the right arm of defending champion Frank Shamrock en route to capturing the Strikeforce middleweight title with a thrilling, give-and-take, crowd-pleasing third-round TKO Saturday on SHOWTIME.
The long-awaited, eagerly anticipated mixed martial arts event, presented by EliteXC and Strikeforce, attracted an enthusiastic, well-behaved crowd of 16,326 at the HP Pavilion that produced a gate of more than $1 million. Those in attendance included EliteXC standouts Kimbo Slice, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz and Phil Baroni.
The fight card aired on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).
Gilbert Melendez (14-1) of San Francisco successfully defended his Strikeforce lightweight belt with a second-round knockout over hard-trying but outclassed Gabe Lemley (11-7) of New London, Iowa, in a second world title match on a five-bout telecast.
In other televised scraps, Drew Fickett (32-5) of Tucson, Ariz., earned a shot at the vacant EliteXC welterweight crown against Jake Shields by submitting Koreas Jae Suk Lim (9-4) in the first round; super heavyweight Wayne Cole (11-6) of Oklahoma City, Okla., submitted (armbar) Mike Kyle (9-6-1) of San Jose in the first round and EliteXC standout Joey Villasenor (25-6) of Albuquerque, N.M., knocked out Ryan Jensen (11-4) of Omaha, Neb., in the first round.
In the top non-televised fight, Tiki Ghosn (10-7) of Huntington Beach, Calif., registered an upset three-round decision over previously undefeated welter Luke Stewart (5-1) of San Francisco by the scores of 30-27 and 29-28 twice. In other non-televised action, Jesse Jones (2-0) of Redwood City, Calif., scored a 0:35, first-round TKO (strikes) over Jesse Gillespie (1-1) of San Jose; Darren Uyenoyama (4-1) of San Francisco submitted Anthony Figueroa (4-2) of Gilroy, Calif., at 1:27 of the first round; and Billy Evangelista (6-0) of Fresno knocked out Marlon Sims (3-2) of San Jose at 3:39 of the third round.
Le (6-0) was ahead by the scores of 30-27 and 29-28 twice after three completed rounds.
This was my toughest fight, said Le, who was born in Vietnam, but fled the war-torn country as a baby in his mothers arms in 1975 and immigrated to the United States where his family settled in San Jose. I am proud to be Strikeforce champion. Tonight was a great night for MMA in general.
Both fighters were bleeding by the end of the first round, with blood coming from the lip of Le and a cut under Shamrocks left eye. A taunting Shamrock ended the stanza by putting his hands to the side of his head as if to say it is time for you to go to sleep.
Le wasnt distracted by Shamrocks antics, however, and knocked out his mouthpiece after an exchange of punches at the beginning of the second round. Later in the session, Shamrock made one of his few attempts to take Le to the ground, but Le always managed to escape.
Early in the third, after landing two powerful kicks to Shamrocks head, Le connected with a sweeping leg kick that sent Shamrock to the canvas. Shamrock recovered and landed a huge right hand that hurt and dazed Le and followed with an onslaught of punches. But Le retaliated with a barrage of kicks and licks of his own. Both fighters were bloodied and bruised after the three rounds.
Frank is a legend, but I had a better night tonight, Le said. This was not easy. Frank surprised me by keeping his word to fight standing up and he kept coming at me. He hit me with some good punches and rocked me a few times. I saw some stars, but this was my chance to become a world champion and I pushed through it.
I kept aiming for his wrist with my kicks because I knew I could hurt him there. I knew he was hurt when he started blocking my kicks with just one hand. But he has so much heart, I expected him to fight with a broken arm.
I want to thank my fans for supporting and for accepting me. I did my best and brought my heart to the cage tonight. This is an unbelievable feeling. I have come a long way from Vietnam to become a world champion.
Before he was taken to a nearby hospital for surgery for what the California State Athletic Commission described as a fracture of the distal ulna (wrist fracture), Shamrock (24-9-1) said, Cung Le broke my right arm with a kick. I kept trying to fight through it, but it was tough. He fought really hard tonight. He is a true champion.
Fickett, who has recorded submission victories in 21 of his 32 wins, required all of 1:14 to take Lim to the ground and tap him out.
I came out here to fight and I stepped up, Fickett said. I wanted to fight (the injured) Jake (Shields), but I will get my chance to do that. I was just trying to choke Lim out on the ground, but he lifted me up and I was able to get a better hold around his neck.
"Once he fell back to the ground it was over. He had to tap out.
Melendez dominated Lemley before the referee halted the one-sided proceedings at 2:18 of the second. I thought I had him at the end of the first round, but he was saved by the bell, Melendez said. Another five seconds and it would have been over.
He was definitely a tough guy but these are the kinds of wins you need to get to prove to people you are among the very best in your weight class. I would love to unify the titles.
Id be glad to fight the winner of the KJ Noons-Yves Edwards fight (Noons defends his EliteXC lightweight belt against Edwards June 14 in Honolulu on SHOWTIME).
In the quickest fight of an action-packed night, Cole submitted Kyle (armbar) at 0:42 of the first.
This was by far the biggest victory of my career, but no way I expected it to end that quickly. To win this kind of fight that quickly on SHOWTIME is a tremendous boost to me and my career.
I was told that my weakness was I didnt use my wrestling skills, so I wanted to take him down and show everyone what I have. I love to fight, but I try to get out of there as quickly as I can.
If the swift victory came as a surprise to Cole, it is going to be a total shock to his mother.
My mom doesnt even know I am doing MMA and I have been doing it three years, said Cole moments before calling her. She thought I was boxing. My seven sisters all knew what I was up to, but they didnt tell her either.
I am sure my mom will be proud of me, but she wont be too happy with any of us that no one told her what was going on.
In perhaps the best knockout of the evening, Villasenor stopped Jensen with a series of powerful combinations followed by a punishing right hook.
I was trying to find my range with him and the jabs were just trying to set something up, said Villasenor after a short but rousing slugfest that featured numerous exchanges ended. He caught me with some shots, but then I really connected with that right hook.
I worked hard for this fight. He is a great competitor, but I really came out swinging. I want to thank EliteXC for giving me this opportunity and everyone back home who helps me train.
I am willing to fight whoever they put in front of me.
EliteXC and CBS will make history when they bring MMA to network television in primetime on Saturday, May 31. Incredibly popular Kimbo Slice will face an opponent to be announced in the main event. Ruthless Robbie Lawler will defend his EliteXC middleweight belt against Scott Hands Of Steel Smith in the co-feature. The remainder of the card will be announced in the near future.
The June 14 EliteXC card on SHOWTIME will be highlighted by two world title fights: Noons defends against Edwards and Shields and Fickett will square off for the vacant EliteXC welterweight title. An outstanding fight card also will include a fight between talented, world-class Nick Diaz and Mushin Corbbrey.

I've been having problems with my right leg- trying everything from a "self-fit", which had pretty good results, but was not perfect- still have foot issues, to a podiatrist and custom orthotics and switching shoes. All kinds of stuff.
Thinking back to when the issues started (developed slowly over time), I was originally using speedplay x pedals, then m2racer and then time pedals. I decided to try going back to speedplay x pedals (m2 is no longer an option), even though I had a year w/ no issues on the time pedals. As I was switching out the time pedals to a pair of speedplays, it smacked me in the face like a big ass brick of stupidity.
The cranks.
I was using fsa k-force lite cranks and they come with pedal washers. I switched to lightning cranks which have recessed pedal inserts and do not come with pedal washers (and I didn't think to use the old ones) and I believe the q-factor is different (although I haven't checked). So, I scored some pedal washers and set the speedplay cleats as close to the inside of the shoe as possible. I've only gotten one ride in on them so far, so I'm waiting to see what happens-

The Gator Bowl marks the final chapter of one story, but the beginning of a new narrative. Northwestern's most successful senior class will finish its highly accomplished run, leaving a new standard for the program to strive for.
"We're knocking on the door to be champions," said Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald. "Our first chance to be champions is this [Gator Bowl]. That's a huge catalyst for that confidence, to take that next step as a program."
The Wildcats have set the goal of sending their senior class out with an elusive bowl victory—not accomplished by any Northwestern team since 1949. After NU returns to snowy Evanston, the offseason begins.
The bar has been raised higher than ever before, and Northwestern's youngest Wildcats are eager to begin their task.
"It's definitely a challenge," freshman superback Dan Vitale said. "But we wouldn't have come here if we weren't looking for a challenge in the first place. Those seniors really set the pedestal for us. We want to stay on top of it."
Northwestern's ultimate goal was presented when NU's current freshmen first met with Pat Fitzgerald.
"Coach Fitz says to win championships," said freshman defensive end Dean Lowry. "And we bought into that."
If not for missed opportunities leading to three heartbreaking losses, Northwestern's season may have included such championship aspirations. Instead, that window was closed too soon. Following the Gator Bowl's final whistle, the Wildcats will return to snowy Evanston and begin work on a critical offseason.
The goal for Northwestern is to improve on a successful season that could have been more.
"You can only go up," Vitale said. "We'd love to go undefeated. That's every team's dream. We're definitely going to shoot for that goal next year."
Northwestern can boast stability for its bright future. The same coaching staff is expected to return for its third straight season together. Most importantly, its head coach is locked into a long-term deal, and hasn't shown a sign of leaving his alma mater—even after being offered a higher salary. Fitzgerald's reasoning is simple: he wants to win a championship.
"We're not looking for just this year; this is a long-term approach," Fitzgerald said. "In college football now, that's becoming increasingly more difficult. You see so many coaches that, a few more dollars are thrown at them, and all of a sudden, they jump ship. That's not what we're doing here."
With Fitzgerald's steady hand has come recruiting success in addition to on-field results. Northwestern's recruiting classes have improved each year since 2010, and such a trend will continue with its next group.
"We'll finish up a recruiting class that we feel very strongly about on paper, then we'll keep the steps going," said Fitzgerald. "I feel very strongly about where the program is at."
Higher expectations are prevalent for Northwestern, stemming from the seniors' success. Now, Wildcats of the present and future must strive to keep raising the bar.
"It's the foundation for the future," Lowry said. "We've got to keep building on what they've established. We'll just take it one day at a time to improve."

Former James Madison outfielder Rich Thompson (1998-2000) has enjoyed a career year in his 12th year of professional baseball. While he hit a combined .310 with 29 steals in 93 games between two different Triple-A clubs, the highlight was a May trade to the Rays with an immediate promotion to the Major Leagues. Thompson found himself in a big league ballpark for the first time since 2004 and recorded his first MLB hit.
Following a brief stay with the Rays, Thompson was sent down to Triple-A Durham and flourished until being called up again to the Rays with September roster expansion. Now he finds himself as a key contributor, mostly pinch running, in a pennant race. We had a chance to catch up with Rich in September during a series at Camden Yard. The video, which includes reflections of both his memorable 2012 season and his time at JMU, can be viewed via the attached video link.
There have been numerous articles written to capture Rich's unique journey back to the Majors with several linked to this story.

I made this jacket in class at school and it ended up taking longer than I had expected it to take. I had difficulty with the instructions because they were unclear, not in ordered and there were no picture references. I made my jacket in a size 40 because I was adding in a fur lining so i didn't want the jacket to be too tight. The jacket is very moveable, and would be perfect for spring weather. The jacket is very detailed with a lot of topstitching. If you aren't one for buttons and tiny details then this jacket isn't for you. Another pain of this pattern is that you have to add seam allowance onto every single piece. Gets heinous but at least they warn you of that before hand. Overall I'd give the pattern itself a 3/5 but the finished product is a 5/5. Beautiful Jacket = tons of work.
