For the past 10 years "Sunny Sequim" has been a magnet for those seeking great weather, spectacular views and friendly people.
The 2000 U.S. Census counted 4,334 people living in Sequim. New U.S. Census figures show that by 2010 that figure had grown to 6,606 — an astonishing 52-percent increase in one decade.
The influx of newcomers fueled unprecedented good times in the real estate and construction industries, with home and land prices reaching historic highs.
But that's just one side of the story. Despite Sequim's remote location, and despite its atypical retiree-fueled economy, Sequim is just as vulnerable to national economic downturns as any other city in the U.S.
In the past four years Sequim has been hit hard by the recession. Home and land sales are down, home values have dropped and new construction is at a virtual standstill. Beginning this week the Sequim Gazette will provide a five-part series on our real estate industry woes — "The Lowdown on the Slowdown."
In this issue we provide a statistical portrait of the residential real estate market. In the following weeks we'll look at the difficulties of securing financing, builder and developer woes, and the personal impact of the downturn on virtually everyone in Sequim, from homeowners to developers to real estate agents. Finally, we'll talk with the experts about the future of the real estate industry in Sequim.
While "everyone knows" the Sequim real estate industry is in the doldrums and house and land values have fallen, determining exactly where we stand requires facts — and that means numbers. We turned to several local real estate agents to provide us with a snapshot of where we are in regard to the sector that has the widest impact on Sequim citizens: residential real estate.
First the good news: Colleen McAleer, a seller's agent for Re/Max Fifth Avenue, said the number of homes sold in Sequim was up in 2010, with 379 houses changing hands.
She added that between 2009 and 2010 the number of homes for sale on the Sequim market dropped by about 30 percent.
Now for the bad news: The bump in home purchases was likely only a temporary result of the Obama Administration's tax credits for new home buyers, which ended April 30, 2010. During the second half of 2010, after the incentives expired, "the number of transactions plunged to the lows we saw in the early to mid-80s," McAleer said.
The median purchase price of all homes sold in 2010 was down $18,000 from 2009, dropping from $248,000 to $230,000.
That $230,000 median sales price is also $60,000 less than the historic high of $290,000 set in 2007. In the first quarter of 2007 — perhaps the height of the boom — the median price was $317,000.
By contrast, the median asking price in 2010 was $300,000, providing a whopping $70,000 differential between what the owners were seeking and what they settled for.
McAleer also said that while the number of homes up for sale dropped from 690 in June 2009 to 400 in January 2011, that doesn't mean 290 homes sold. McAleer says the owners are just as likely to "have given up."
Many of those who listed their home for sale are retirees, McAleer said, who at one time perhaps decided to downsize and put their home on the market. When they couldn't get the return on their investment they were seeking, they pulled the for-sale sign from the yard. "Now they're thinking, 'maybe I'll hire a gardener instead,'" McAleer said.
Local broker Michael Piper of Piper Discount Realty adds a few facts that provide more detail, noting that in January/February 2011, the number of home sales slightly exceeded (43 to 40) those in January/February 2010 when the Obama tax credits were in place. He called that surprising but was quick to note that "the prices were certainly lower." In fact, he said, if you grabbed the $8,000 Obama tax credit, "you've probably already lost that equity."
Piper attributed some of the difficulties in the Sequim market to even greater difficulties far away, particularly in California. The recent crash in home values in the Golden State means fewer retirees are arriving with massive amounts of cash in hand to juice up the Sequim real estate market.
On the other hand, "I do believe we've hit our low," Piper said. He also notes that "in the very long run," Sequim remains "very desirable."
In fact, she said, "This year is projected to be the highest ever for foreclosures."
One Sequim real estate agent said the number of foreclosures is so great that lenders are finding it impossible to process quickly the paperwork required to bring them to market. Millet suggested some banks are simply "holding on to them to avoid flooding the market."
Piper noted that the presence of foreclosures provides downward pressure on prices. He said buyers will choose a neighborhood, and a low price, and don't particularly care if the house is for sale by the owner or is under foreclosure. In the current market, the ability to "buy it under market value" is key to a potential buyer, he said.
McAleer says of the 400 homes now available for sale in Sequim, 33 are owned by "the bank": They are in foreclosure. Of these, she said, 16 had purchase contracts as of mid-February.
McAleer also said she is seeing an increase in "short sales," an industry term for homeowners selling their home for less than they owe. That's not surprising, she said, given that since 2006 home values in the Sequim area have dropped about 29 percent. (She is quick to note that many submarkets are showing different results.)
Citing the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller price index, McAleer said that's "right in line with the average drop nationwide."
That, of course, strikes with particular cruelty those houses listed for $1 million or more. The statistics again bear that out. McAleer says 24 $1 million-plus houses have sold in Sequim since 1998. That includes five in 2005, seven in 2006, four in 2007 and three in 2008. In 2009 and 2010, none sold.
Dave Tall, managing broker for Strait Realty, specializes in lots and land. The only good news he sees in his market niche is the ongoing market correction: "Prices need to come down," he said. In the last four years, he said, they've done exactly that.
Tall said by volume the land market currently is just 10 percent of its former size.
According to McAleer, it "will take years (for the land market) to recover to a point where prices begin to increase again." She said waterfront raw land has held its price, but there were only two sales in the Sequim area in 2010.
She notes the median asking price for land is still $130,000, "yet the median selling price is $72,000."
The peak sales year for land was 2003, when 459 properties sold with a median sales price of $49,000.
From 2004-2006 the number of land sales fell precipitously, from 441 in 2004 to 180 in 2006. In 2006 the sales price for land peaked, with a median price of $168,000. In 2010, a total of 76 parcels sold with a median sales price of $72,000.
McAleer describes 2005 and 2006 as a boomlet, with many speculating on water view properties. "The feeling was, 'I gotta get mine,'" she said. In 2006, 61 water view parcels sold, with a median price of $224,950. In 2010, just 13 water view parcels sold, with a median price of $80,000.
She noted the decline in the value of water view properties has caused much of the overall decline in land prices. "The ones that went up were the water views; the ones that went down are the water views."
Tall said a client of his recently went through a short sale on her five-acre parcel on Lost Mountain.
Because it has both water and mountain views, it was "a coveted piece," he said.
Tall's client purchased it in 2007 for $350,000. It sold in December 2010 for just $190,000. Because she'd made payments for three years, Tall's client lost $150,000 on the deal, he said. The lender, Bank of America, took a $70,000 loss.
The statistics used in this article, however, do not include certain real estate transactions, including mobile homes in parks and manufactured homes on rented land. That means, for example, that transactions within Hendrickson Estates are excluded.
A self-described geek with an obvious enthusiasm for statistical analysis, McAleer is quick to point out that while all of these figures are useful, they can be easily misunderstood. When you have a small data sample — "and Sequim is a small market" — the figures are easily skewed. As an example, McAleer pointed out that in December 2009 the median sales price for land in Sequim was $290,000. "Sounds good," she said, until you realize only three parcels sold that month and two were waterfront. "It gives completely false information based on accurate data."
In order to avoid that impact to the greatest degree possible, McAleer most often works with median figures, saying those are normally reported by statisticians and economists.
A median price isn't the average price, but rather the "middle figure." If 11 properties sell, the median price is the one with five higher prices and five lower prices.

Jefferson 5-cent coin endures many changes
By William T. Gibbs
COIN WORLD Staff If one word sums up the Jefferson 5-cent coin, it would be "change" because throughout its storied history it has endured many changes. • The Mint mark has been placed in three different locations, and disappeared completely for a time. • The designer's initials were added, but not until 1966, nearly two decades after the coin was introduced. (Coin World
helped lead the successful public campaign to get Felix Schlag's initials on the coin.) • The composition was changed, with the nickel component dropped for nearly four years – mid-1942 through 1945 – from the coin most Americans call a "nickel." • It has been issued with multiple surface finishes: standard business strike, Brilliant Proof, Frosted Proof and a non-Proof Matte Finish. • The Jefferson 5-cent coin was selected for new designs as a way of commemorating Jefferson's role and the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Three different portraits of Jefferson have been used, one produced for one year only. Felix Schlag, a German-born designer, won a national design competition to replace the Indian Head 5-cent coin in 1938. Mint officials then still followed the 25-year rule (legally, still in effect today) that they interpreted as requiring design changes every 25 years. Although Schlag won, officials rejected his winning reverse design of Monticello as viewed from an oblique angle, and replaced it with the more static head-on view still used today. World War II brought the most significant alloy change for the Jefferson 5-cent coin. The composition was significantly altered and the Mint mark relocated to note the alloy change. The short Wartime Alloy set is an inexpensive, popular one with collectors, totaling 12 coins. The series is a fantastic one for die variety collectors: It has numerous repunched Mint marks, over Mint marks and doubled dies, including the 1943/2-P overdate variety. Many can be found unattributed in dealers' inventories at a fraction of their real values, if one knows what to look for. Not counting the die varieties and some of the early Proofs, there is only one non-Proof Jefferson 5-cent coin that could be considered slightly scarce, and it is dated 1994! A special 1994-P Jefferson 5-cent coin was struck with a non-Proof Matte Finish. It was issued as part of the Jefferson Coin and Currency set (it comprises the Jefferson commemorative silver dollar, a Series 1976 $2 Federal Reserve note depicting Jefferson, and the special 5-cent coin). Final mintage of the special 5-cent coin was 167,703 pieces. New Jefferson 5-cent designs were created under the banner of the "Westward Journey Nickel Program." In 2004 Jefferson's portrait was retained on the obverse and two new reverses were produced. One reverse design honors the Louisiana Purchase and features the design of the Jefferson Indian peace medal Lewis and Clark distributed to native leaders. The second depicts the larger boat the expedition used along the Missouri River for a portion of the journey. A new, right-facing Jefferson portrait was selected for the 2005 obverse (and used only in that year) and it was paired with two new commemorative reverses: one showing a plains bison, one of the many animal species Lewis and Clark Expeditions members saw during their journeys; and a design showing a scene of the Pacific Ocean coastline representing the end of the westward journey of Lewis and Clark. A new full-facing portrait of Jefferson was added to the obverse in 2006 and Monticello was restored to the reverse.

Although it may seem unusual today, the United States government once issued a coin worth less than one cent: the half cent. The copper U.S. half cent was authorized for production on April 2, 1792. During its 64-year lifespan as a circulating denomination, five different basic design types of the tiny (0.93-inch) coin were struck. The coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and do not have a Mint mark. The half cent's designers and engravers are among the best known names in U.S. Mint design/engraving history: Adam Eckfeldt, Robert Scot, John Gardner, Gilbert Stuart, John Reich and Christian Gobrecht. Designs for the half cent were also used on other denominations through the years. The 1793 Liberty Cap half cent features a lettered edge stating TWO HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR. The obverse depicts a bust of Liberty with flowing hair, facing left. A Liberty Cap on a pole rests on her right shoulder giving the design its name, the Liberty Cap. The design for the Liberty Cap half cent was based on Agustin Dupre's Libertas Americana medal. Half cents struck between 1794 and 1797 bear another Liberty Cap design, this one facing right, and issued in Plain Edge, Lettered Edge and Gripped Edge varieties. From 1800 to 1808 the Draped Bust design was used on half cents. All half cents bearing those dates are Plain Edge varieties. The Classic Head design was used on half cents struck between 1809-1836. From 1849 to 1857, a Coronet design with Plain Edge was used. All half cents have a wreath on the reverse. The key dates in the series are 1793; 1796, No Pole; 1802/0, Reverse of 1800; and 1831.

Ward, Lindbloom named Forester Athletes of Week
Huntington, Ind.—The Huntington University Athletic Department announced its Athletes of the Week for the week of April 9-15. Women's softball sophomore Lauren Ward and men's track sophomore Dan Lindbloom earned the honor for their outstanding efforts during the week's competition.
Lauren Ward, an accounting major from Butler, Ind. (Eastside High School), helped lead the Foresters to a 4-0 week with two impressive wins on the mound. In Huntington's 8-0 win over Grace College, Ward (6-4) shut out the Lancers on three hits and five walks while striking out seven. She followed that up with a perfect game in the Foresters' 9-0 victory over Rochester College. She allowed no hits or walks and struck out six. Ward also played a big role in Huntington's two other wins during the week. She went 4-6 at the plate, including her first homerun of the season, scored two runs and drove in five in the two games. The Foresters (12-12, 4-3) return to action on April 17 when they host Spring Arbor University at 3 p.m.
Dan Lindbloom, an exercise science major from Evergreen Park, Ill. (Chicago Christian High School), turned in an outstanding individual performance at the Little State Championship. He broke the six-year old school record in the 3000 meter steeplechase by more than three seconds with his time of 9:25.23, which automatically qualified him for the NAIA Track and Field National Championships which will be held in Fresno, Calif., May 24-26. Huntington will next compete at Wilmington College in Ohio on April 21 at 11 a.m.

Volume 19, Number 3 December, 1982 Abstracts
Ever since Darwin, homology has been one of the lines of evidence alleged to support evolution. It is shown here that such arguments mis-use the evidence, or fail to include all of it. When all of the evidence is included, and it is interpreted correctly, homology is seen to point to a Designer, Who uses a basic plan in many different ways.
This is an analogy to the development and present status of evolution. Please read the story of Prof. Frick, in the left-hand column, all the way through. Then go back and re-read while following, according to the reference number, the point-by-point explanation in the right-hand column.
Three principles which can be used as a basis for biological research in a Creationistic framework are discussed.
In this paper the author attempts to relate, on the basis of his experience, a condition - dyslexia - to the fact that some of the world's languages are written in different directions from others. He believes that human beings are "pre-programmed" (visually and mentally), some to be able to learn one language more easily, some another. The dyslexic seems to be sufferering from a mixture of this built-in information, and thus to have trouble, particularly in reading.
Two well known physics periodicals, The Physics Teacher, and the American Journal of Physics, were surveyed for evolutionary content during the year 1981. Many examples of evolutionary presuppositions and attitudes were found, in items on various topics, including science education, cosmology, and the energy crisis.

► Systemic NLRP1 inflammasome activation induces lethal inflammation ► IL-18 ameliorates inflammation induced by NLRP1 ► NLRP1 activation in progenitor cells induces cytopenia and immunosuppression ► NLRP1 deficiency accelerates recovery from viral infection and chemotherapy
Cytopenias are key prognostic indicators of life-threatening infection, contributing to immunosuppression and mortality. Here we define a role for Caspase-1-dependent death, known as pyroptosis, in infection-induced cytopenias by studying inflammasome activation in hematopoietic progenitor cells. The NLRP1a inflammasome is expressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells and its activation triggers their pyroptotic death. Active NLRP1a induced a lethal systemic inflammatory disease that was driven by Caspase-1 and IL-1β but was independent of apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) and ameliorated by IL-18. Surprisingly, in the absence of IL-1β-driven inflammation, active NLRP1a triggered pyroptosis of hematopoietic progenitor cells resulting in leukopenia at steady state. During periods of hematopoietic stress induced by chemotherapy or lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection, active NLRP1a caused prolonged cytopenia, bone marrow hypoplasia, and immunosuppression. Conversely, NLRP1-deficient mice showed enhanced recovery from chemotherapy and LCMV infection, demonstrating that NLRP1 acts as a cellular sentinel to alert Caspase-1 to hematopoietic and infectious stress.

I don't mind going with her. I know Boyd has spoke with the group as
well and can take him with us. The first time will be to explain our

Problem with 'show password' option
You always have to authorize keychain access, unless you specifically turn that off.
Problem with 'show password' option
The same 'invalid password' happened to me too. I tried the root password, the user password and the wpk password but all were rejected. Unlike other keys where the root password works.
Problem with 'show password' option
Same here. I can successfully unlock my "System" keychain directly from keychain access, but the same password does not work when authenticating for the "show password" checkbox. Nor does any other password I tried. This is starting to sound like a bug in Keychain Access. I'm running the latest Tiger bits, BTW.
Problem with 'show password' option
I get the same problem, and i think it must be a bug in tiger too. Strangly I can view passwords under the login keychain, using the keychain password (which seems to be the same as my login password). But I can't access my wireless password in the System keychain, which also asks for my keychain password?? Very Weird.
Problem with 'show password' option
thank god there are other people out there with the same problem. It's driving me nuts fighting with keychain and airport logins. I concur, this must be a bug. Now a solution would be good
Problem with 'show password' option
Add me to your list of frustrated users. Neither my user password or network password will not work. |

3:48 P.M. MST: Time for the second half … Broncos actually ended the half with a 15-yard edge in total yardage, but the Vikings still have a substantial rushing-yardage advanage — 125 yards to 57.
3:48 P.M. MST: Adrian Peterson gets 31 yards on the kickoff return to the Vikings 33 … Taylor Jacobs had a chance at the tackle but couldn't make it happen … Winds now gusting pretty heavily.
3:50 P.M. MST: Vikings now facing third-and-6 at their 37-yard-line following a deep incompletion … Seems like a fair amount of spectators on the club level have opted not to rejoin us for the second half.
3:51 P.M. MST: Gracious, that's two drops for Troy Williamson now … Broncos will start their first second-half drive at their 23-yard-line after Chris Kluwe's 40-yard punt goes out of bounds.
3:54 P.M. MST: Third-and-8 at the Denver 25 … Jay Cutler rolls left and finds Selvin Young for seven yards … Young hits the ground with some force after being slammed downward by Ben Leber … And it's an eight-yard gain as a measurement gives Denver the first down.
3:56 P.M. MST: Minnesota is challenging the spot.
3:59 P.M. MST: The ruling is upheld. First down, Broncos.
4:00 P.M. MST: Somewhat of an unusual play … Cutler's pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage by Pat Williams, and then Cutler tried to bat down the football and missed … eventually it was incomplete.
4:01 P.M. MST: Javon Walker's grab pulls the Broncos across midfield … The sun has slipped behind some clouds and towards the horizon, and INVESCO Field is now blanketed in chilly shadows.
4:03 P.M. MST: Broncos now with fourth-and-1 at the Minnesota 42 … They're going for it … and Cutler finds Tony Scheffler for the first down and much more, down to the Vikings 24 … Nice call on the play, which saw Cutler roll to the right and find his rookie training-camp roommate to move the Broncos into scoring range after the 18-yard gain.
4:04 P.M. MST: Time out, Denver. There's 8:19 left in the quarter.
4:07 P.M. MST: Coming out of the timeout, Cutler looks for Marshall in the end zone, but E.J. Henderson provides somewhat of a distracting influence for the incompletion … One play later, a shovel pass for Selvin Young loses a yard.
4:08 P.M. MST: Jason Elam's 43-yard field-goal attempt splits the uprights … Denver leads, 17-3.
4:10 P.M. MST: Matt Prater's kickoff is high, but five yards short of the goal line … Peterson returns it to the 30.
4:13 P.M. MST: Minneosta converts a short third-down attempt … and then goes backwards 11 yards as Tarvaris Jackson and Adrian Peterson have a little difficulty executing a toss pitch; Peterson simply dropped the football.
4:14 P.M. MST: Josh Mallard now up to 1.5 sacks today after getting to Jackson and pulling him down by the ankles.
4:15 P.M. MST: Minnesota picks up 19 but needed 24, so Chris Kluwe will punt.
4:18 P.M. MST: Brandon Marshall has catch No. 99 for the season.
4:19 P.M. MST: And there's 100 receptions for Marshall, via an 8-yard grab. He is the fifth Bronco in franchise history and the third second-year player in NFL history to post a 100-catch season — the other two are Larry Fitzgerald and Isaac Bruce.
4:20 P.M. MST: One play later, Marshall rushes seven yards on the end-around for the first down.
4:21 P.M. MST: End of the quarter.

Boy Wonder
The Last Samurai
A third of the way into Helen DeWitt's remarkable first novel, a book that is populated with geniuses of various sorts, there's an extended description of the aesthetic philosophy of a young Japanese pianist named Kenzo Yamamoto, a reclusive former child prodigy whose concert career has not flourished—possibly because at a typical evening at Wigmore Hall he might play Chopin's Op. 10 No. 1 Ballade in D minor again and again for seven and a half hours, each time accompanied by a different noise ("a bell or an electric drill or once even a bagpipe"). By this point in The Last Samurai—which is about one genius in particular, a boy named Ludo Newman, and his mad mother, who may also be a genius, and his search for a father—the reader won't bat an eye, having been exposed to extended descriptions of all kinds of esoterica: turn-of-the-century Homeric textual criticism, say, or number theory, or Japanese syllabaries, or Alexandrian literary criticism, or Schoenberg's Harmonielehre, or interpretative approaches to Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, which gives the novel its title and scenes of which are quoted verbatim over and over again throughout.
But the ten dense pages devoted to the fictitious Yamamoto's theories about musical performance have the virtue of containing what amounts to a key to reading DeWitt's prodigious book:
Yamamoto began to talk about the idea of a fragment, he said for instance when you were working on a piece you might take a section in one direction, let's say you might keep scaling it down and down until it was barely there & then that barely there section would sometimes be enchantingly beautiful but you would realise when you came to relate it to the next section that you could only get from that to the next section by means of something crass and stupid, some stupid violent crescendo that wasn't right or even an abrupt transition that wasn't right or it might be that you could get from one to the other but still you wanted the next part to be hard & bright and you didn't want something quite so bare before. Well everyone knew there were unfinished pieces Schubert's unfinished symphony the Mozart Requiem Mahler's Tenth Moses and Aaron & what made them unfinished was the stupid fact that the composer had not put an end to them, but if you worked on a section & got an enchantingly beautiful version that could not be used what you had in effect was a fragment, a thing that was not part of the finished work. Once you saw that you saw that you could potentially have dozens of fragments that could not be part of the finished work, and what you saw was that it was perceiving these fragments as fragments that made it possible to have a real conception of what wholeness might be in a work—and once you saw this you naturally wanted …

As the Bay Area Caregiver Resource Center, Family Caregiver Alliance offers a full array of services for family caregivers. With assistance in care planning available from our expert family consultants, and respite assistance provided by our menu of programs, caregivers find themselves enhancing their own sense of well-being while providing the best care possible for their loved ones.
FCA's caregiver classes and support groups offer more specialized skill-building and emotional support, which can be especially helpful in managing feelings of frustration and understanding different approaches to difficult behaviors. But what if you need a little more help? For family caregivers who can benefit from some additional one-on-one emotional support and problem-solving assistance, FCA offers counseling from licensed clinicians with in-depth training and years of experience.
FCA's counseling program for caregivers is designed to respond to feelings of depression identified by many family caregivers we have worked with over the years. The counseling program is short-term, offering six to eight sessions focused on issues related to the role of the family caregiver. In the first session, the family caregiver is invited to establish what his or her personal goals are in working with the counselor. Over the next five to seven sessions, the counselor works with the caregiver to build skills, adapt new caregiving behaviors to increase feelings of competence, and to practice self-care.
The counselor also provides the emotional support necessary to manage feelings of grief, loss and guilt. Counseling provides an opportunity to do some in-depth exploring of available options and to get some assistance in making difficult decisions. Other members can be included for one or two sessions as needed, to clarify the needs of the caregiver and the person being cared for and to help resolve different approaches to decision-making. FCA offers counseling for caregivers in private offices located throughout the Bay Area. Six to eight sessions are offered for a sliding scale fee per session. If you are interested in finding out more about FCA's counseling program for caregivers or our other programs, please call (800) 445-8106.

A lot to discuss and not much time to do it in.
Navy's season
The Midshipmen enter the Poinsettia Bowl with an 8-4 record. It's been a historic season for Navy, as they defeated Notre Dame for the first time in 44 years. But it was also a season where Navy had some inexplicable losses, as well. Sound familiar? Well, it's kind of like how Utah's season played out. Never the less, here's a look at Navy's season.Opponent | Result | W/L |
@ Temple | 30-19 | W |
@ Rutgers | 24-41 | L |
Ball State | 31-34 | L |
Duke | 46-43 | W |
Air Force | 31-20 | W |
@ Pitt | 48-45 | W |
Wake Forest | 24-44 | L |
Delaware | 52-59 | L |
@ Notre Dame | 46-44 | W |
@ North Texas | 74-62 | W |
Northern Illinois | 35-24 | W |
Army | 38-3 | W |
Now the common opponent between the two is Air Force. Utah lost to the Falcons in the second game of the season, while Navy beat them. However, this game doesn't mean much, since the Utes were without Brian Johnson and their starting running back, as both went down a week prior against Oregon State. I think most fans feel that had Utah played Air Force later in the year, they would have won.
Out of Navy's schedule, their victory over Notre Dame is pretty impressive. Mostly because they have nowhere near the talent level of the Fighting Irish and were fighting 44 years of failure. So the Irish went 3-9, it was still a monumental victory.
Yet on the other side of the spectrum, Navy's loss to Delaware has left many people scratching their heads. While Delaware is a strong D1-AA team, that still doesn't explain how the Navy defense could give up 59 points. The same could be said for their losses to Ball State and their close victory over North Texas. If this shows us anything, it's that Navy's defense might be the worst in the nation. But regardless of their victories and losses, the Midshipmen still managed to have a fairly successful season. So successful, in fact, they lost their head coach.
Navy's bowl history
Navy has a pretty strong bowl tradition, especially over the past few years. Under the leadership of Paul Johnson, Navy has now been invited to 5 consecutive bowl games (just like Utah). In the past four bowl games, the Midshipmen are a respectable 2-2. Those victories were over New Mexico and Colorado State. Navy is 3-0 against current Mountain West teams in bowl games, as they also defeated BYU in the 1978 Holiday Bowl.Some other impressive bowl games Navy has played in are the 1924 Rose Bowl (a tie with Washington), the 1955 Sugar Bowl (a victory over Mississippi) and the 1961 Orange Bowl (a loss to Missouri). Navy has also played in the Cotton Bowl twice, where they are 1-1.
Ranking the positions
(1 Lowest, 5 Highest)Team | Quarterbacks | RBs | Receivers | O-Line | D-Line | Linebackers | Secondary | Special Teams | Coaching |
Utah | 4 | 4.5 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 2.5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
Navy | 4.5 | 4.5 | 2 | 2.5 | 2 | 2.5 | 1.5 | 4 | 2.5 |
I think ultimately the two offenses are evenly matched, however, Navy's defense just has not been consistent enough for me to say they're any good. The coaching difference is only because Navy will have an unproven man working the sidelines. While I don't think there will be an issue here, it's impossible to say, right now, that they are better off in terms of coaching than Utah. If Paul Johnson were to coach the bowl game, there is no question Navy would rank higher in that category.
This will be a pretty entertaining game. If Utah's defense just plays well against the triple option, they should win. However, if Navy's offense rolls, I don't like Utah's chances in a shootout. Honestly, I want this to be a win, but I'm having some major doubts right now. That doesn't mean I expect a loss, it's just I really don't have a feeling either way. So I won't make a prediction, only to say that I hope my dream the other night does not come true. That dream had Utah losing either 27-17 or 28-13, I can't exactly remember. We'll see.Finally...
Should the leprechaun be brought back?
The last time Lucky danced, Utah fell to defeat. Lucky's career total stands at 7-1, a pretty remarkable record, if you ask me. However, he is tainted by a loss. So should I bring him back for this game, or should Lucky retire for good? Click here to vote.

Justin Bere's experimental self-build home has now reverted to private use since the office moved out in August 2012. The project started on site in the year 2000 (and work is still ongoing) with all the main passivhaus attributes of super-insulated walls, triple glazed windows, heat recovery ventilation, design for air tightness and design against cold bridging. When Wolfgang Feist first visited the Muse in 2009 and saw the monitoring results, he declared that it should be certified as a UK pioneer passivhaus.
Nearing completion in Exmouth Market, London, is our mixed use, part facade retention, part new build project for the Debenham Trust. The project is designed and executed to a very high quality under a traditional contract. Firmco are the main contractor. After working hard to achieve a number of low energy and Passive House (or Passivhaus) retrofit projects with us, this traditional building company, with it's own labour force, has worked hard to embed the new 21st century construction skills into its armoury of techniques, alongside the best traditional construction skills.
RIBA Publications have commissioned a UK printer to produce this book which is due for release before Christmas.
Dr Ian Ridley's research paper: 'The Monitored Performance of the first new London dwelling certified to the Passive House standard' will be published in 'Energy and Buildings'.
Here is an extract from Dr Ridley's paper:

This is by far the worst RV facility we have ever been to. The fee is 44 per night for full hookups. We have a 25' trailer and could barely maneuver to back in. Nearly damaged our car due to rocks. There is no shade (temp 95+). Sites are all river rocks. It was like camping on a skillet. There was about 5 feet between rigs. Absolutely no privacy. The sites were not even close to level, 6-8" side to side. This guy is only interested in river rafting trips and making lots of tourist money. We chose this place because it is also AAA approved. After we told the owners that they should be ashamed of themselves for ripping people off for such a gross site, we left and did not even stay the night. (they got 48.00 for free). The Glennwood Canyon Resort is a complete rip off, and I would not recommend it to anyone. I am from Colorado and I am embarrassed to see such a terrible place to camp, when we have such a beautiful state.
Mancos, Colorado
Mesa Verde RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
This park is under new ownership. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They appreciate your business. It is the best RV Park in the 4 corners area. Sites are clean rock, level and about half are shaded. All facilities are well maintained. We will stay there again without question if we travel that area again.
Gunnison, Colorado
Blue Mesa Ranch
[ 1/10 ]
This has to be one of the very worst campgrounds in Colorado. The Office and Pool area are the only things that are nice. The park is out in the sun and Sage Brush with no trees. Sites are eroded and unkept. The sites are a powdery dirt and you better have lots of leveling material as they are not even close. Your neighbors are about 15 feet on either side of you with no privacy at all. When the wind blows the dust and dirt do also. It is very depressing to stay here. The management has done nothing to enhance the park. They are only interested in selling you a time share: Ha Ha. I cannot imagine why someone would pick this park again after spending only one night there. I have never had such a bad RVing experience.

"I'm so happy for her. It's her last year, and there's no more spelling bee in our family," Rosemary said.
Koh's brother Matthew was the regional bee champion in 2008 and runner-up in 2010.
For her victory Koh will receive a $2,500 SMART529 college savings plan through a program of the West Virginia Treasurer's office, the Samuel Louis Sugarman award (a $100 savings bond), a one-year subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica Online and a Webster's Third New International Dictionary.
But most importantly she will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, held May 30-June 2 at the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington, D.C.
Koh made a good showing at last year's national bee but did not advance past the preliminary rounds. Only 41 of the 275 spellers that started the competition moved on.
This year, she said she plans to study harder to reach the national bee's televised rounds.
Runner-up Kaitlyn Johnson will receive a $150 cash prize, a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate, a one-year subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica Online and a copy of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition.
Third-place winner Lauren Coccari will receive $75 in cash, a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate and a one-year subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica Online.
Judges for Saturday's bee were Dr. Letha Zook, vice president of academic affairs for the University of Charleston; Carolyn Dorcas, a retired high school English teacher who continues to teach classes at Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College; and Mark Stotler, assistant director of academic affairs for the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.
Staff members at Capital High and the Kanawha County Schools Community Education Program helped conduct the bee.
Beverly McCoy, program manager for Bright Futures Learning Services, served as pronouncer.
WSAZ anchor Jessica Ralston served as emcee. The bee will be televised by WSAZ's sister channel, myZ, at 1 p.m. March 31.

Henry Purcell

Portrait drawings became more popular in the seventeenth century but they were not as highly regarded as paintings. This chalk drawing is the only surviving example by the portrait painter John Closterman. It may have been intended as a preliminary study for a painting that remains unknown. On the back of the drawing is a study for an arm which could also relate to the final oil portrait. This drawing was, however, prized on its own merits. In 1698, it was published as the frontispiece to Purcell's Orpheus Britannicus. The sketch was almost certainly taken from life and at one time belonged to the eighteenth-century musicologist Dr Charles Burney.

The Berguedà region has a very important industrial past, as its main source of income once came from coal mining, textiles, and cement. Today, all that remains is a memory, although a not-too-distant one, and a historical legacy that can be visited through different spaces.
The Museum is located in the Sant Corneli mining settlement and serves as an interpretive centre dedicated to coal mining in Berguedà. The settlement was founded in the late 19th century to house the people who worked in the mines, following the already deeply-rooted industrial model in Catalonia.

The Israel Movement for Reform & Progressive Judaism (IMPJ) is the umbrella organization of all the Reform communities and institutions in Israel.
We seek to integrate Jewish tradition with the realities of modern life, and believe in the right of each individual to shape their own Jewish way of life through a process of study and reflection. The Reform movement emphasizes the commandments concerning relations between humans, religious tolerance, and full equality between women and men in the synagogue and in all walks of life.
This past month, we have been very busy with two subjects concerning Jews by Choice – on both the national and local levels. And now we are getting ready for Purim. Read more in our latest newsletter.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Religious Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett need to make it clear now that they will not allow another conversion crisis to arise. The heads of Jewish organizations such as the Jewish Agency and the Jewish Federations of North America must impress this message upon these Israeli leaders before the next committee discussions on the Stern bill."
Last night, a demonstration was held in Ra'anana in response to the graffiti and vandalism of the Reform synagogue that occurred ten days ago. The protest was entitled "Hatred of ideas? Not in our society! We will not be silent!"
The IMPJ seeks to strengthen Jewish identity in Israel. Our congregations, from Nahariya in the north to Kibbutz Lotan in the southern desert, seek to bring Israelis closer to Jewish heritage and culture and to the values of pluralism, equality and humanism.
The IMPJs Community Outreach Department is responsible for a wide range of programs and activities in the communal and public spheres:
Social Justice Jewish tradition mandates concern for others, and the IMPJ takes this value seriously.
The IMPJ cooperates with local congregations, the Israel Religious Action Center, the Young Adult Leadership Forum and other bodies in order to plan and implement social justice programs. Activities include distributing basic school equipment to disadvantaged students before the beginning of the school year; distributing traditional food parcels for the needy at Passover; and running a social justice fair at two leading Israeli universities to expose students to organizations active in the field.

Thanksgiving III
It's hard to say where the urge to write develops. There are probably as many motivations as there are writers. In the beginning there is a desire to connect with an audience. That currency, the connection any writer forges with his audience, is the paycheck that gets him started. It certainly did for me.
No matter what the subject matter is, sharing something true with another person is a powerful experience. Initially, when I began writing for myself, I wrote songs. I soon moved to poetry when I saw the incredible power of the confessional poets and the surreal majesty and heart-rending tragedy of poets like James Tate and Mark Strand. When I saw what could be achieved in such tightly wound passages I was hooked.
And while seeing someone's reaction to my work was good enough to get me started, for any writer who persists, there comes a point when the doing is the paycheck. It's no different than with cycling. We all want to win races, and the image of us thrusting our arms Godward can infect dreams lit by sun or moon. However, at some point you either learn to love the training itself, or you move on to poker or golf or whatever.
Writing, like cycling, is a love of the craft itself.
But writing has an advantage to bike racing. When I post a new piece, it's like hitting the final kilometer and each positive comment is like a spot on the podium. I can't say how many positive notes constitute a win, but at some point I feel as if I threw my bike at just the right moment.
The funny thing is that while the reinforcement that comes from a positive comment spurs me to want to write more and to repeat the experience, the comments of the naysayers, those who think I am a chain minus a master link, are the ones that spur me. Those comments have the power to make me dig deeper into my thoughts.
That I've found in cycling a vein rich enough to continue to mine year after year amazes me more than I can describe. In this regard, I must acknowledge Radio Freddy and Belgium Knee Warmers. It was in writing for BKW that I discovered an opportunity to take a magazine form—the column—and use it as a vehicle for analyzing my own thoughts on everything from doping to the well of motivation that keeps us riding day after day.
Radio Freddy gave me a very long leash on which to roam. Leaving BKW was a tough choice, but by the time I made that choice, I had developed my own vision for what a cycling blog could do and what I had to offer.
BKW celebrates three years today with a new skin and a renewed commitment by Radio Freddy. It's great to see and it's nice to know that RKP will have a sister site out there doing great work. We've discussed some cross-pollination. Watch for some joint posts in the future.
As I mentioned, leaving BKW wasn't easy, but I had ideas of my own, and it's not cool to take a bike out for a test ride and come back 100 miles later. I agonized about being the only voice in RKP. Fortunately, I got a lot of encouragement from some smart people.
Bill McGann, formerly of Torelli and these days of Bike Race Info, said to me, "You only need one good voice. You've got a good voice." And while I trust Bill like I trust handmade tubulars in a corner (which is to say "all in"), I made the decision to actively court contributors. I'm pleased to call Da Robot a regular contributor. And with contributions from Bill and Rick Vosper (both of whom were working in the industry while I was still in grade school) I can say I'm both lucky and honored.
But that's the point here; I'm lucky to have a passionate readership, even if sometimes you think I'm Amy Winehouse-crazy. In my mind, the only way you'll keep coming back is if I give my very best and that, in part, means giving you more than just me.
A lot has happened since I wrote the last Thanksgiving post, but the two big ones are launching this blog and the birth of my son. I'm incredibly grateful for him and the love he has brought my wife and me.
You, the readers have played a special part in this. It's because of your consistent reading that I have advertisers and those advertisers help me to be able to work from home and care for him during the day. It's a delicate balance, but one that I anticipate will get a little easier as I become more experienced as a father.
So I am writing now to declare my thanks for you, dear readers. You give me the freedom to follow my many whims as a writer and the ability to share more time with my son than I'd manage in any other working situation.

School safety panel will be 'reasonable, not reactionary'
Members of Gov. Bob McDonnell's School and Campus Safety Task Force vowed Monday that their recommendations on keeping Virginia's schools safe would be based on fact and not emotion. The task force – charged with evaluating the safety of schools and campuses throughout the state – was assembled by McDonnell in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last month in Newtown, Conn. "I thought in the wake of that terrible tragedy, it would be prudent to get all of our leading experts from all disciplines together to gather around a table or two, and talk about what can we do better," McDonnell said. After a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary, some called for immediate measures, such as banning assault weapons or placing armed personnel in schools. However, Marla Decker, Virginia's secretary of public safety and a co-chair of the task force, said the group's recommendations would not be reactionary but rather based on data, analysis and evidence. "We must take a reasonable, methodical approach to school and campus safety," Decker said. "This doesn't mean that the task force should not think creatively – it should. But we must take a logical approach to sending recommendations to the governor and to the General Assembly." Some members of the task force are no strangers to tragedies such as the shooting in Connecticut. Task force member Allen Hill recalled the death of his daughter, Rachel, who at 18 was killed in the mass shooting at Virginia Tech in April 2007. McDonnell noted that Virginians may have particular insight into what Newton residents are experiencing. "Perhaps no state is more familiar with this kind of inexplicable tragedy than Virginia after April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech," McDonnell said. "Many of you have been a part of that recovery." When a deranged student killed 32 people at Tech, McDonnell was the state's attorney general and Tim Kaine was governor. After that massacre, McDonnell said, he and Kaine worked together and "came out with specific advice, an executive order and changes to firearms and reporting protocol all within 30 days. So I'm confident that if all of you take a look at where we are right now, you also can come up with some initial recommendations in a short period of time." McDonnell issued an executive order creating the task force on Dec. 20, just six days after the Sandy Hook shootings. He appointed the task force last week. It has 45 members, ranging from teachers, law enforcement officials and mental health practitioners to legislators, parents and students. One of the task force members is state Delegate Margaret Ransone, R-Kinsale, a mother of two. "I think that being a mom and wanting to make sure that our children are safe will absolutely play a part," she said. "I have an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old, both in public schools. But because of the oath I took, my decisions will be fully based on the information that we have." The task force will have three main subgroups: education, mental health and public safety. These subgroups will work together to produce the most effective results, Decker said. The task force plans to send its initial recommendations to the governor by Jan. 31. The first round of recommendations will focus on issues that require legislation or budget appropriations, Decker said. The task force is scheduled to issue a final report by June. McDonnell apologized to the panel for the tight deadlines. But he said time was of the essence. "I think that we have a very important duty to make sure in our education system, K-12 or university, every person has the ability to work hard and gain access to the American dream and to do it in a safe and secure environment," McDonnell said. "For the most part we've been able to do that in our state pretty well. But I think these events have called upon us, once again, to look at all aspects of school and campus safety and say, 'Is there something we can do better?' Who's on the Task Force Here are the members of the Task Force of School and Campus Safety: Co-Chairs: Marla Decker, secretary of public safety; Laura Fornash, secretary of education; and Bill Hazel, secretary of health and human resources Members: Ken Cuccinelli, Attorney General of Virginia Joseph Yost, Virginia House of Delegates Margaret B.

Khumba-ya? Not quite
But animated South African film has its moments
You might have seen something called Khumba while clicking through a Redbox recently (or perhaps it was nestled in some hidden corner of a DVD sale shelf). And chances are, you passed it by without much of a thought. Makes sense; that goggle-eyed cartoon zebra on the cover (a zebra that's dangerously close to becoming Madagascar copyright infringement) doesn't inspire much confidence.
But when Khumba starts up, it looks nothing like you'd expect. The camera gazes across the savannah and the soundtrack swells with triumphant South African vocals. > Read more.

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.
