Illinois (BB-65) was to have been the fifth Iowa-class battleship constructed for the United States Navy and was the fourth ship to be named in honor of the 21st US state.
Hull BB-65 was originally to be the first ship of the Montana-class battleships, but changes during World War II resulted in her being reordered as an Iowa-class battleship. Adherence to the Iowa-class layout rather than the Montana-class layout allowed BB-65 to gain eight knots in speed, carry more 20 mm and 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, and transit the locks of the Panama Canal; however, the move away from the Montana-class layout left BB-65 with a reduction in the heavier armaments and without the additional armor that were to have been added to BB-65 during her time on the drawing board as USS Montana.
Like her sister ship Kentucky, Illinois was still under construction at the end of World War II. Her construction was canceled in August 1945, but her hull remained until 1958 when it was broken up.
The passage of the Second Vinson Act in 1938 had cleared the way for construction of the four South Dakota-class battleships and the first two Iowa-class fast battleships (those with the hull numbers BB-61 and BB-62).[1] The latter four battleships of the class, those designated with the hull numbers BB-63, BB-64, BB-65, and BB-66 were not cleared for construction until 1940,[2] and at the time BB-65 and BB-66 were intended to be the first ships of the Montana class.[3]
Originally, BB-65 was to be the United States Navy's counter to the Empire of Japan's Yamato-class battleships, whose construction at the time was known to the highest-ranking members of the United States Navy, along with the rumors that the Yamato-class ships would carry guns of up to 18 in (460 mm). To combat this, the United States Navy began designing a 58,000 ton ship with an intended armament of twelve 16 in (410 mm) guns. This battleship took shape in the mid-1930s as USS Montana, the lead ship of her class of battleships. She would have fielded three more 16 in (410 mm) guns than those mounted aboard the Iowa class, a more powerful secondary battery of 5 in (130 mm)/54 caliber Mark 16 dual purpose mounts, and an increase in armor designed to enable Montana to withstand the effects of enemy guns comparable to her own.[4]
The increase in Montana's firepower and armor came at the expense of her speed and her Panamax capabilities, but the latter issue was to be resolved through the construction of a third, much wider set of locks at the Panama Canal. As the situation in Europe deteriorated in the late-1930s, the USA began to be concerned once more about its ability to move warships between the oceans. The largest US battleships were already so large as to have problems with the canal locks; and there were concerns about the locks being put out of action by enemy bombing. In 1939, to address these concerns, construction began on a new set of locks for the canal that could carry the larger warships which the US had either under construction or planned for future construction.[a] These locks which would have enabled Montana to transit between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans without the need to sail around the tip of South America.[4] As USS Montana, BB-65 would have been the only battleship class commissioned by the US to approach the Imperial Japanese Navy's Yamato class on the basis of armor, armament, and tonnage.[5][6]
By 1942 the United States Navy shifted its building focus from battleships to aircraft carriers after the successes of carrier combat in both the Battle of the Coral Sea, and to a greater extent, the Battle of Midway.[7] As a result, the construction of the US fleet of Essex-class aircraft carriers had been given the highest priority for completion in the US shipyards by the US Navy.[8] The Essex-class carriers were proving vital to the war effort by enabling the Allies to gain and maintain air supremacy in the Pacific War, and were rapidly becoming the principal striking arm of the United States Navy in the ongoing effort to defeat the Empire of Japan.[9] Accordingly, the United States accepted shortcomings in the armor for their North Carolina-class battleships, South Dakota-class, and Iowa-class battleships in favor of additional speed, which enabled these battleship classes to steam at a comparable speed with the Essex-class and provide the carriers with the maximum amount of anti-aircraft protection.[9][better source needed]
When BB-65 was redesignated an Iowa-class battleship, she was assigned the name Illinois and reconfigured to adhere to the "fast battleship" designs planned in 1938 by the Preliminary Design Branch at the Bureau of Construction and Repair.[b][10] Her funding was authorized via the passage of the Two-Ocean Navy Act by the US Congress on 19 July 1940, and she would now be the fifth Iowa-class battleship built for the United States Navy.[10][11] Her contract was assigned on 9 September 1940, the same date as Kentucky.[12] Illinois's keel was laid down at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, on 6 December 1942;[13] her projected completion date was 1 May 1945.[12] This amounted to a construction time of about 30 months. She would be tasked primarily with the defense of the US fleet of Essex-class aircraft carriers. In adherence with the Iowa-class design, Illinois would have a maximum beam of 108 ft (33 m) and a waterline length of 860 ft (260 m), permitting a maximum speed of 32.5 knots (60.2 km/h).[3]
Like Kentucky, Illinois differed from her earlier sisters in that her design called for an all-welded construction, which would have saved weight and increased strength over a combination riveted/welded hull used on the four completed Iowa-class ships. Engineers considered retaining the original Montana-class armor for added torpedo and naval mine protection because the newer scheme would have improved Illinois's armor protection by as much as 20%.[14][better source needed] This was rejected due to time constraints and Illinois was built with an Iowa-class hull design.[3] Funding for the battleship was provided in part by "King Neptune", a Hereford swine auctioned across the state of Illinois as a fundraiser, ultimately helping to raise $19 million in war bonds.[15]
Illinois's construction was put on hold in 1942 after the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway, while the Bureau of Ships considered an aircraft carrier conversion proposal for Illinois and Kentucky. As proposed, the converted Illinois would have had an 864-foot (263 m) long by 108-foot (33 m) wide flight deck, with an armament identical to the carriers of the Essex class: four twin 5-inch gun mounts and four more 5-inch guns in single mounts, along with six 40 mm quadruple mounts. It was abandoned after the design team decided that the converted carriers would carry fewer aircraft than the Essex class, that more Essex-class carriers could be built in the same amount of time to convert the battleships, and that the conversion project would be significantly more expensive than new Essexes. Instead, Illinois and Kentucky were to be completed as battleships, but their construction was given very low priority.[16]
Ultimately, the ship was canceled on 11 August 1945, when she was about 22% complete.[11] She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 12 August 1945.[17][18] Her incomplete hulk initially was retained on the belief that it could be used as a target in nuclear weapons tests. The cost to complete the ship enough to be able to launch her—some $30 million—was too great, however, and the plan was abandoned. She remained in the dockyard until September 1958, when she was broken up on the builder's ways.[11][19]
The ship's bell was cast, and is now at the Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It reads USS Illinois 1946. The bell is on loan from the Naval Historical Center (Accession #70-399-A), Washington Navy Yard, Washington DC, to the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) at the university. The bell is traditionally rung by NROTC members when the football team scores a touchdown or goal.[20]

FDA Approves New Drug for Type 2 Diabetes
Aug. 30, 2005 -- The FDA has approved a new drug called Actoplus Met for type 2 diabetes, states a news release from the drug's maker, Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America.
The drug combines two widely used type 2 diabetes drugs: Actos and metformin. Actoplus Met should be available by October, according to the news release.
Actos targets insulin resistance, in which the body falters in its response to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. Metformin is used to curb blood sugar production by the liver.
Diet and exercise are also recommended for people with type 2 diabetes.
"Combining these medications may provide patients with an easier way to take the two drugs, as they are already often prescribed together to help manage the disease," states the Takeda news release.
Company's Cautions
The news release states that patients who shouldn't take the new drug include:
- People with kidney disease
- People 80 or older whose kidneys don't work properly
- People with a condition known as metabolic acidosis (too much acid produced by the body)
- People with heart failure requiring treatment (moderate to severe heart failure)
- People who are hypersensitive to any of Actoplus Met's ingredients
- People who drink excessive amounts of alcohol
- People with type 1 diabetes
- People with active liver disease
The news release also states that patients should talk to their doctors about halting the drug during severe infections or X-ray studies using intravenous contrast dye, and that blood tests for liver problems should be done before starting Actos or Actoplus Met and periodically afterward.
In addition, the company notes that Actos and Actoplus Met may increase swelling that can lead to or worsen heart failure.
Takeda's news release also states that a small number of people who have taken metformin (which is part of Actoplus Met) have developed a rare, potentially fatal condition called lactic acidosis. In those patients, lactic acid builds up in the blood. The condition is mainly seen in people with kidney problems.
Finally, the news release advises patients to consult their doctors immediately if they experience rapid weight gain, fluid retention (swelling), shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, appetite loss, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin.
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company is Japan's largest pharmaceutical company, the news release notes.

The couple that owns this place have only four cottages plus their small house on site. They were built in the 1950's and are modestly decorated. The cottages are large with bedroom, kitchen, living room and big porch. It's a very private setting within lush vegetation, with a boardwalk out to the beach. This part of Vero Beach has an extemely wide beach with only a few people walking on it. The mid-week rate was about $135 night booked directly with the owner. It's a little rustic there, but just fine even for me who enjoys luxury.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A former Chickasaw police officer has been
Fifty-one-year-old Bob Lee Ingle was found guilty on charges of
sex abuse, rape and sodomy.
Defense had argued that the death of the 10-year-old girl in
January 2008 meant Ingle would be denied his right to cross-examine
his accuser.
But Mobile County Circuit Judge Michael Youngpeter ruled that
any statements she made to police can't be heard by the jury,
although other statements to friends, family and medical personnel
are admissible.
The trial has been delayed at least six times over the last two

Hi, I've been trying to find a solution for a problem I have. I need a loop that displays the next post from the actual date, I found this solution to make future posts actual publised posts:
It is for a website that promotes events, so, I'd like to add the next event at the top of the homepage as a post. I figure that the best way to do this is enabling future posts and playing with the publishing dates.
Any sugestion?

A recusatio is a poem (or part thereof) in which the poet says he is supposedly unable or disinclined to write the type of poem which he originally intended to, and instead writes in a different style.
The recusatio is something of a topos in ancient literature. Its use has often been interpreted as a persona deliberately adopted by the poet, allowing him to express ironic self-deprecation or feigned humility.

I have a knack for looking at websites and determining if they're easy to use or just outright difficult. See my meta.stackexchange and meta.stackoverflow posts to sample this trait. I seem to point out things (namely bugs or strange workflows) that a general user may encounter yet the developer never notices.
I love ux and have learned from the greatest ux experts (Tom Greever and Steve Krug). I admire and appreciate user interfaces that "don't make me think". However, I always come back to my true love of architecting systems, dealing and making sense of data. I'm pretty strong with sql-server, jquery, and C#. I guess that makes me a full stack developer!
I'm also looking for smart people that work hard and get things done. Contact me at jhermiz @ gmail.com for a career!

NEW YORK CBS Corp's quarterly profit more than doubled, beating expectations, as the media company reaped the benefits of new distribution deals for its TV shows and higher spending by advertisers.
CBS is a quintessential old media company, with a broadcast network, a billboard division, book publishing and radio, but it is finding new avenues of revenue in new media, specifically through streaming deals for its library of TV shows.
It has signed two deals with Netflix Inc -- one for domestic streaming and the other for international -- as well as a deal with Amazon.com Inc.
Chief Executive Les Moonves, speaking on a conference call, said future deals could be struck with Apple Inc, Google Inc, Microsoft Corp , and Dish Network Corp.
"Hit programing is more valuable than it has ever been," Moonves said, adding that "new possibilities are opening up all the time" for putting programs in front of viewers.
Those deals -- along with a solid TV lineup and strong advertising sales -- have helped make CBS a top choice with media investors. Its shares have risen 43 percent this year, far outpacing not only the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index, but every one of its major media competitors.
Its biggest risk, and the question most often raised during Tuesday's call, is whether the rocky U.S. economy will knock advertising spending off course.
Moonves said, "Obviously it's been a rough couple of days. But we are not feeling any of the sentiment that we felt three years ago," when advertising spending crashed.
At least through the second quarter, advertisers seemed undeterred by the shaky economy. Commercial rates in the scatter market, where advertisers purchase last-minute TV time, jumped by as much as 30 percent in the spring months.
CBS benefits from a TV lineup that has been steady and strong for years, with a roster of hits including "The Big Bang Theory," "The Good Wife," and "NCIS."
Second quarter ad revenue rose 3 percent from a year ago, when it was helped by 2010 political advertising and higher revenue for the college basketball's championships, known as March Madness. CBS said its new programing agreement for the basketball championships results in lower revenues, but higher profits.
Attitudes about the economic environment have worsened in recent days and weeks.
"There is always cause for concern from the macro impact," said Gabelli & Co analyst Brett Harriss. "That being said, CBS is on fire. I don't think we're at risk of seeing a dramatic pullback in advertising like we did in '08."
Overall, CBS's second quarter revenue rose 8 percent to $3.59 billion, surpassing the $3.55 billion analysts expected. Profit more than doubled to $395 million, or 58 cents a share, which also exceeded the 45 cents a share analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S has forecast.
The company had net income of $150 million, or 22 cents per share a year ago.
But CBS is clearly looking beyond advertising for additional revenue. One hot spot has been retransmission deals, wherein cable companies pay CBS a fee to carry the network's content. It also is banking on those new retransmission deals, particularly since the ones it has signed so far cover only a small sampling of its library of TV shows.
In the second quarter, revenue from content licensing and distribution deals rose 21 percent.
CBS shares fell $1, or 3.67 percent, to close at $26.28 on Tuesday in a broadly weaker stock market.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the brain that leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination. To make an appointment, call (864) 454-4500.
The disease most often develops after age 50. It is one of the most common nervous system disorders of the elderly. Sometimes Parkinson's disease occurs in younger adults, but is rarely seen in children. It affects both men and women.
Nerve cells use a brain chemical called dopamine to help control muscle movement. Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the brain that make dopamine are slowly destroyed. Without dopamine, the nerve cells in that part of the brain cannot properly send messages. This leads to the loss of muscle function. The damage becomes worse with time. Exactly why the brain cells waste away is unknown.

My mother�s name before she got married was Alice Rogers. I sometimes thought it would be nice�if rather than taking our father�s surname we took our mother�s. I�d imagine at times my last name to be Rogers rather than Connolly. If that if that were the tradition I thought my cousin Roger would be known as Roger Rogers. That would be cool. It would be sort of like a friend I had growing up whose name was Thomas Tarmey. We called him Tommy. He also referred to himself as that. If you were from my neighborhood you�d know that in saying the name Tarmey the listener would hear �Tommy.� Tommy told us a story about getting a summer job. He was asked by a potential employer his first name. He responded Tommy. Then his last, and the employer heard �Tommy� He worked for that summer under the name �Tommy Tommy.� I often wondered about another friend, Jackie Thomas. I wondered if he wouldn�t have preferred to be called Thomas Thomas. He then could be Tommy Tommy too. One of the schools in our neighborhood was the Edward Everett. We called it the Eddie Eddie. I don�t remember if Tommy Tommy was attending �the Eddie Eddie at that time he got the job. You have to admit that growing up in America being a Rogers was something to be proud about. Think of the association with other people. I could have told my friends I was related to Roy Rogers. He was one of our heroes. Sure Gene Autry was around at the time but who knew the name of his horse or his girl. We all knew of Trigger and Dale Evans. Fortunately at that time there was no internet so I had no way of knowing Roy's real name was Leonard Franklin Slye. One real Rogers though was William Penn Adair Rogers, known as Will Rogers. Unlike our present senator-who-would-be-president Elizabeth Warren, his parents both were part Cherokee. His father Clement was a Cherokee judge. Rogers County, Oklahoma is named after him. Will sometimes said that his folks didn�t come over on the Mayflower but they met the boat on its arrival. Rogers not being a Cherokee name it is likely Rogers was from Ireland. In the early 1800s Irish immigrants who came over as indentured servants escaped their employers, fled west and ended up marrying Native American women. It was noted: �The prevalence of intermarriage was such that many political leaders of southern tribes were at least part Irish.� �The Irish may have suffered transportation to the American colonies as early as 1653.� Of course in my youth things like that were not part of my consideration. I assumed all of the Rogers came from County Mayo like my grandfather. When I went with my brothers to find his place of birth, Ballaghadereen, we were told we were in County Roscommon. It was not until I found that it originally was in Mayo,�and was at the time my grandfather lived there, I was satisfied we were in the right place. There are still Rogers living there. �Twas there I bought some dillig which I was assured would last until I got home. That was a mistake. But I must mention the man who sold it to me was not a Rogers. My favorite Rogers was Ginger. Who wouldn�t like to think she was part of the extended family. Beautiful and talented, she made all of us Rogers proud. Only in the internet days did I realize her birth name was Virginia Katherine McMath. She became a Rogers when her mother remarried John Logan Rogers. Fred Roger, aka Mr. Rogers, came along much later. He also was a true Rogers. But by that time I was content to be a Connolly. It�s hard to figure out if my life would have been any different as a Rogers. I may have made up more stories about being related to Roy and Ginger. I would also have been able to quote some of Will Rogers's clever sayings and refer to him as my cousin Will. Then again, if it were the mother's name we used I'd never have been a Rogers because my mother would been named after her mother whose maiden name was Catherine Ring. If my last name were Ring I'd have no famous relatives except perhaps the Diamonds or Claddaghs. I guess I must be content with having told all the lads and ladies how I was related to the great Irish Patriot James Connolly. I guess it all worked out well in the end.

Newspaper announces plan to move printing to Springfield
Move to Massachusetts will improve papers' color, design
|The Republican-American tower om Meadow Street in Waterbury. Republican-American archive
William B. Pape, assistant publisher of the Republican-American, said the move will ensure the continued success of the newspapers, now in their 169th year, and the company's commitment to publishing seven days a week.
In recent years, 10 of Connecticut's 15 daily newspapers have outsourced their printing. "We were faced with a similar decision: Did we want to be in the publishing business or the printing business? This will allow us to remain focused on our primary mission of producing a comprehensive daily news report for the many communities we serve in Northwestern Connecticut," Pape said.
"We live in a full color world," he added, and printing at the Springfield newspapers (a division of Advance Publications), will make color available on every page and offer design flexibility that the Republican-American's 44-year-old press cannot produce. "This change will provide significant opportunities to improve our product for our readers and advertisers," Pape said.
There will be some reduction in the newspaper's workforce, although the precise number has not yet been determined. The transition will take some time to complete and some employees will assume different duties. Other affected employees will receive help with outplacement, the company said.
"It is unfortunate that some very good and dedicated employees will lose their jobs," said Editor and Publisher William J. Pape II. "We are working with them as they adjust to this circumstance."
The newspapers also underwent a staff reduction when the American and Republican were merged in 1990. The Waterbury American dates back to 1844 and the Republican to 1881. The Pape family bought the Republican in 1901 and established The Sunday Republican in 1910.
The newspapers' writing and reporting has most recently been recognized nationally by the Society of Professional Journalists for persistent and constant efforts to promote public access to government agencies and to hold them accountable for their decisions.
Forty-three communities in Northwestern Connecticut are served by the newspapers, which also are available on line at rep-am.com.

Here are answers to some of the questions you have raised:
We intend to keep delivery times close to what they are now; inevitably, they will be somewhat later but we are well aware that the newspaper has to be available to customers when they want to read it.
We will lose some employees with this move, but there are still hundreds of your neighbors and friends who work at the newspaper writing and editing stories, delivering the newspaper, selling advertising and keeping the building clean and open. We also have offices in Torrington, Southbury and Hartford. No one here is happy to see co-workers lose their livelihoods and considerable efforts are being made to minimize that damage as much as possible.
To the reader concerned about paying "full price:" You don't have to have a seven-day subscription to the newspaper (full price) to have access to rep-am.com. For print subscribers, we give them free access to everything on rep-am.com. We also have electronic-only subscribers who pay $8 a month. That's actually quite a bargain. Our electronic edition gives you access to both editions of the printed paper every day as well as a 30-day archive.
More and more newspapers (now more than 50 percent) are going to some type of paywall on their Web sites. It's an economic imperative. You should understand that we spend millions of dollars a year just to gather and report the news. That's an enormous investment. News is not free. It doesn't just fall from the sky.
For example, we file as many Freedom Of Information complaints as any news organization in the state. That alone can mean tens of thousands of dollars a year in legal bills. We do that to dig out information we believe you are entitled to and to make it easier for you as individual citizens to get reports, budgets and information which you pay for as taxpayers and voters.
There is more than a semantical difference between publishing and printing. For daily newspapers, printing is a manufacturing process. As publishers, we are responsible for the content that is printed, no matter who performs that task. This decision certainly changes part of that historical dynamic and it is not one that has been made lightly.
Newspapers are resource based enterprises. Without our readers we are nothing. We can't shuffle off to Virginia or South Carolina and set up shop. The newspaper is rooted in the communities that it serves. That's the whole point of having a free press. We recognize that special obligation and try our best to live up to it every day.
We, and our advertisers, appreciate your patronage and hope you'll keep reading -- whether electronically or in print.

Let me repeat. The newspaper will continue to employ hundreds of people locally. The choices we face are the same that many businesses are facing in the wake of the Great Recession. Sacrifice some of what we do for the greater good of the company and the vast majority of employees. As I said in my previous post, we are doing what we can to help affected employees transition to other jobs within the company or assist them in finding new work.
I may regret asking this question, but I am curious: if you dislike the paper so, why are you gracing us with your comments? "

The last online story I read about Tabella in the Stranger featured a big old banner ad from ... you guessed it ... Tabella! Wonder how much the club owners pay the Stranger in advertising. Much more than Erica's salary, I'm guessing.
Fuck 'em. Close 'em down if they can't be decent neighbors.
NDII: Wow. You mean papers sell ads? And then sometimes reporters write about advertisers? How DARE they! Thank you so much for that incredibly incisive observation. I will immediately stop covering any company or politician that advertises with the Stranger. You have shown me the light.
I live right behind Slices. I really don't mind it and they are actually pretty good neighbors. It's the kids that then leave Slices and come over to Whale Tail park aka my front lawn, late at night which piss me off.
Thank you so much for going to the Celtic Swell on Saturday night instead of Friday.
I somehow got roped into playing there the previous night, we sucked, and I'm much happier to be reading about someone else's lousy performance than my own!
Glad to see EH is spreading his love on this topic as well. Maybe he should start his own idea bank and run for office?
erica: i was having a late dinner with a friend that same night, down the street at cactus. our little stroll by the water afterward included a soundtrack from the guitar wielding hippie at the celtic swell.
dude busted out the all-time cheesiest Grunge Years (TM) anthem, hunger strike by temple of the dog, followed by two terrible soundgarden and pearl jam covers.
my neighborhood never ceases to amuse me.
if you want the quiet sounds of rural life... don't live in the city. to expect silence makes you the bad neighbor.
to think that because you can afford a place on alki that no one else should be allowed to enjoy it in the way they want to is equally ridiculous.
Your irrational dislike of the mayor has made your "advocacy journalism" more unbearable than usual.
This is what I can gather from your screed about the "mayor's war on nightlife" in this case:
Neighbors complain or have concerns about new businesses opening in the area and the city responds. What thugs! What goons! To actual respond to neighbors concerns!
The result of this "war on nightlife?" Celtic Swell appears to be booming, and Slices is still in business a year later - not bad in an industry with a high rate of 1st year failures.
And is Slices closing before 10:00 because of the city's requirements, or because of some other business considerations. Hell if we know, because in your form of journalism, your either didn't ask for the facts, or didn't bother to include them. For that matter, are they selling beer or not?
I highly doubt that Tabella's annual advertising spending with the Stranger is anywhere near what Erica earns as a writer. Futhermore, the notion that there is a correlation between the two is even funnier. I bet that the writing staff and the advertising division don't even have that much interaction.
maybe if we embraced drunkeness and looked down on the childish behavior instead we could get a little culture in this paranoid, intolerant country.
on the other hand, a "good neighbor" agreement sounds pretty tame... why couldn't they just do that?
on the other other hand though, what's with these nimby'ers thinking they live in smalltown america? you'd think you wanted to live in a place like seattle for a little culture. ooo wine with pizza how exotic...
Someone sounds a little defensive. Just count the number of club ads in the paper and online. You criticize the influence of big biz on mainstream news outlets, but by gosh it just couldn't happen at the Stranger! Classic. Maybe the publisher can volunteer the percentage of revenue the paper gets from clubs. Do tell!
good neighbor agreements sound funny to me. people wanting extra protection beyond the law... isn't that what the laws are for? i certainly wouldn't force a business to sign one. it might be nice of them to agree to it, or at least listen to the concerns. but the law was set to regulate this behavior. if neighbors don't like it, change the law.
Nancy Drew,
I don't disagree with you. Anyone can see that the Stranger is filled with ads for clubs / bars / venues... that's not a surprise. I'd imagine their local advertising revunue is 50 -75% from this category.
However, what you are insinuating is that there is a correlation betweeen the content of the paper and the advertsing revenue, which is a bit far fetched if you ask me.
If the Stranger just acted as a mouthpiece for it's advertisers, wouldn't we be reading a lot more articles advocating legalized prostitution?
"It is not, in short, a quiet place."
Perhaps you should visit Alki more than once a year. Try October-February.
bbking: I have been to Alki in the winter. That's not when people complain about the music/noise/potential liquor violations because of outdoor patios. They complain in the summer when the doors and windows are open, and when people are sitting out on patios.
The issue at Alki goes way beyond "nightlife." The issue is whether the residents of a community can have a say in how their community is developed. Does all the power rest in the hands of the developers hoping to make money or does the community have a voice? The stranger is siding with the money-making developers as long as they are developing nightlife.
And another issue is whether zoning regulations mean a damn thing in this city? And another issue is whether restaurants can close their kitchens at 10 pm and turn into bars, 21-over only please, rocking out the neighborhood as if they owned the beach and to hell with anyone trying to sleep, in spite of the fact that the neighbors were there first and bars are not allowed at Alki except through special permits that would mitigate some of the negative impacts? Where's the real journalistic reporting? Did anyone bother to find out whether restaurant-bars at Alki have conditional use permits? Did anyone bother to scratch the surface to find out what's really going on? The fact that someone visited Alki one night and found it to be pretty quiet is NOT a news story. The fact that a reporter, without researching the facts, accuses the neighbors of "targeting small businesses," is what's really laughable. No, wait. It's disgusting. There's a story there, but your reporter missed it all together. And that gives the Stranger zero credibility.
The Stranger: Putting the yellow back in journalism, since 1991.
The "Good Neighbor Agreements" are a way for the city to unilaterally force new regulations on businesses without having to go through that pesky law-making business. They're "voluntary" in the sense that protection money to the mafia is "voluntary".
"Nice liquor license you got here. It'd be terrible if something were to happen to it..."

Lady GaGa's Manager Compares Indonesians' Protest Against Her Concert to Crucifixion
Lady GaGa recently canceled her concert in Jakarta, Indonesia after some Muslim hardliners took offense at her stage act. Being interviewed at the Music Matters conference in Singapore, her manager Troy Carter opened up about how he saw the controversy and compared the protest to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
"The way I look at it... It's less about GaGa than it really is what's happening in the world right now as a whole," he said when asked if he's upset about the protest. Realizing that such kind of situation can't be avoided, he added, "This is a microcosm. It's a generational divide... Jesus Christ got crucified. It happens."
Still, Carter didn't rule out the possibility of GaGa throwing a show in Jakarta in the future, as long as they get the permit. Asked if they are willing to tone down GaGa's racy costume to get accepted by wider market, Carter said without a doubt, "We'll skip them."
When talking about the Little Monsters in Asia in general, Carter had nothing but praise. "Asia is a very loyal audience and an audience that really, really loves music... It's not a passive audience at all," he stated. "We plan on spending a lot more time here."
During the interview, Carter refused to share details on the 26-year-old artist's upcoming album, but confirmed, "We have I think three records left with Universal [Interscope]." Also on the same occasion, he compared the "Judas" songstress to a "200-lb toddler" when asked if she has "made it" yet.
In another news, GaGa has given an update on her condition after suffering concussion during a concert in New Zealand. "Went for an MRI," she tweeted on Wednesday, June 20, before jokingly adding, "No harm from the concussion but it appears my brain is just water and a large floating jellyfish."

2015 Acura MDX Release Date and Redesign – The third generation Acura MDX model, as of May well 2013. is in the production course of action. Immediately after, was launched 2014 Acura MDX, in a series of comparative tests, it proved to become great at the same time and also the very best SUV of its class, which is not always the case. In the event the SUV is very good, does not mean giving the ideal! 2015 Acura MDX will knowledge only a minor facelift in relation for the current model, simply since the company will not enable the blunders and shortcomings with regards to MDX model.
Acura MDX model is present on the market since 2000. Multy Dimensional Luxury car, what implies MDX, within the class midsize SUVs, it was the very first SUV that class, having a third row of seats. Honda, the Acura model, mostly earmarked for the U.S. industry, but in the beginning, the model has been present in Japan and Australia as the Honda MDX.
The only segment Acura MDX car, which so far has been questionable, may be the platform, since only it may solve, until now present dilemma, the lack of legroom. When designers improve the space inside the back seat, appears lacking within the front, and so on .2014 Acura MDX is set to a brand new extended platform. Incredibly modest extension, resolve the issue space, as well as the exact same platform might be anticipated within the 2015 MDX model. All other capabilities, which inside the correct sense of the word, embellished 2014 MDX model, in particular Acura's Jewel Eye LED Headlights , we are able to anticipate within the 2015 MY.
More than 64% from the structure Acura MDX car, is made from highstrenght steel (HSS), aluminum and magnesium. In this manner, is decreased mass from the automobile, delivering great aerodynamic skills. The superior efficiency of this SUV provides intelligent design and style, the ACE body structure and powertrain, which tends to make the 3.5L V6 SOHC iVTEC engine with direct inject. The engine is paired with Variable Cylinder Management. Enhanced fuel economy 2015 Acura MDX, in addition to weight and new engine (replaced the three.7L V6 with 300 hp), and delivers a superhandling allwheel drive SHAWD technique, which regulates the transfer of 100% of engine energy to whichever wheel, according to the situation. With 290 hp, 267 lbft of torque in addition to a 6speed automatic transmission, Acura MDX 2015, will surely have a far better mpg rating in the existing model, which achieves 18/27/21 mpg (city / hwy / combined) employing the SHAWD program, and 20/28/23 mpg with FWD model drive.
That luxury does not usually imply a thing extremely pricey, will prove 2015 Acura MDX. Honda will not make a concession to the new 2015 MDX models. Just Acura MDX has under no circumstances, and apparently never will, exceed the price of $ 55,000, even though its luxury and topnotch equipment, stood shoulder to shoulder with SUVs, which are estimated at substantially much more. Taking into consideration that will be supplied in only a single trim level there's no a wide provide of optional capabilities. This implies that the standard equipment, Acura MDX model for 2015, makes all technologies, superior protection systems and luxurious supplies.
