We aimed to capture the historic nature of the Supreme Court's ruling on the health care act. How well did we do?
It's fun to compare our front pages to others across the country. The Newseum offers an excellent service for doing this.
We encouraged readers to suggest our lead headline today, but we ended up going with one of our own. A complex subject presents a big challenge for headline writers.
Many of those offering suggestions revealed their own political preferences, which is not what we want to do with a front-page headline. Perhaps you think we missed a good choice, though. Here are the suggestions we received from readers and staff:
-- And justice for all
-- All care created equal
-- Insurance ensured
-- Healthy choice?
-- Lord help us
-- Roberts Rails Republicans
-- They aren't listening!!!
-- Diagnosis....ObamaCare Survives!
-- God Help Us
-- Public healthcare "for all"
-- Health Care Equality
-- ObamaNation-al Healthcare
What headline would you have written?

NFL Power Rankings, Week 4
Seahawks remain No. 1; Saints rising fast
1. Seahawks (4-0): Most people are putting the juggernaut Broncos atop the power rankings, but not here. The Seahawks went down to Houston and fought off a desperate Texans team in OT. This defense can stop anyone, on any turf — Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady included.
2. Broncos (4-0): Omaha! Omaha! Papa John's? You can't even rattle Peyton Manning's audible calls, real or fake. Good luck, Dallas.
3. Saints (4-0): Drew Brees has these Saints looking like its 2009 all over again. When do we get to see Saints-Seahawks? Oh, Monday, Dec. 2. Can't wait.
4. Patriots (4-0): Here we go again. Tom Brady could take Wilson from the movie "Castaway" and turn him into a viable NFL pass-catcher.
5. Colts (3-1): Average margin of victory has been 27 points since hiccupping against Miami two weeks ago. At 30-1 odds, hedge your Bowl bets.
6. 49ers (2-2): Niners getting back to basics with punishing ground game. They just need to get healthy and stop reading own press clippings.
7. Chiefs (4-0): KC isn't a surprise anymore, they are bordering on elite. Question is, do they enough firepower to overthrow Denver?
8. Lions (3-1): This offense is electric — shades of Scott Mitchell? — when everyone is healthy. It looks like they might have finally figured it out in Motown.
9. Bears (3-1): Give the Bears credit for almost rallying to overcome huge deficit last week. Don't give them credit for the O-line reverting to old habits.
10. Ravens (2-2): It's going to be hard to repeat with Ray Rice less than 100 percent — with all apologies to Temple's Bernard Pierce, of course.
11. Packers (1-2): Record screams lower, but take a long look down this list and tell us if any of those teams can beat the Pack. We didn't think so.
12. Dolphins (3-1): The pass-rush suffered without stud end Cameron Wake. He'll be back (we think), no time to panic in South Beach.
13. Bengals (2-2): Ugly, ugly loss. Andy Dalton now on pace for 20 touchdown tosses, along with 16 interceptions. They need better play out of the quarterback position.
14. Texans (2-2): Houston fans are burning Matt Schaub jerseys in the parking lots. Uh-oh. One more stumble and they'll be chanting for David Carr to come back.
15. Titans (3-1): On record alone, Titans should be much higher. In reality, they might be counting on Ryan Fitzpatrick to carry the load with starter Jake Locker reportedly out 4-8 weeks.
16. Chargers (2-2): Philip Rivers wishes he could play the NFC East every week. It's between him and Reggie Bush for Comeback Player of the Year.
17. Falcons (1-3): Can this be fixed? Atlanta's offense still ranks No. 7 in total yards and No. 4 in passing yards. So, yeah, maybe.
18. Cowboys (2-2): Dallas is determined to make Dez Bryant the focal point of the offense. That's a start.
19. Panthers (1-2): Might be most underrated team in football. Coming off a bye, they are well-rested and see two possible softballs on the schedule: at Arizona, at Minnesota.
20. Cardinals (2-2): Cards squeaked out win last week, but coach Bruce Arians didn't mince words. He called the offense (30th in third-down conversions) "putrid."
21. Eagles (1-3): If Chip Kelly can eliminate the turnovers and mental mistakes (14 penalties past two weeks) and start turning field goals into touchdowns, this experiment might work.
22. Browns (2-2): Brian Hoyer is ruining CEO Joe Banner's plan to tank the season for Teddy Bridgewater. Karma chameleon.
23. Jets (2-2): Bilal Powell (292 yards, 4.4 average) is trying to revive the old ground-and-pound Jets attack.
24. Bills (2-2): Teams are going to start stacking the box in an effort to make EJ Manuel beat them.
25. Redskins (1-3): Robert Griffin III appears to be getting healthier. Now, Alfred Morris gets chance to rest bruised ribs on bye week.
Best of the worst: 26. Rams (1-3); 27. Raiders (1-3); 28. Vikings (1-3); 29. Steelers (0-4); 30. Giants (0-4); 31. Buccaneers (0-4); 32. Jaguars (0-4).

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
styledotcom This natural nighttime serum gives @rubyjean_wilson her radiant glow: stylem.ag/1CmOL83 pic.twitter.com/LTntAbytJm
Last night's annual tree-lighting at Rockefeller Center was a mob scene, but it wasn't the evening's only throng. Just down the street, shoppers, designers, and fashion fixtures like Kate Bosworth, Prabal Gurung and Karlie Kloss came together to toast the launch of Target, Neiman Marcus, and the CFDA's collaborative holiday collection—and to do a little pre-shopping. A set of highball glasses designed by Joseph Altuzarra, and Christmas ornaments by Jason Wu seemed to be particularly hot-ticket items, and some designers appeared to have had their own lists in mind when creating their items: Both the duos behind Marchesa and Rag & Bone made outfits for their children. But what were they hoping for themselves? Click here for a slideshow of shoppers roaming the racks, and read on below to find out who's stockpiling Jet-Set Travel and Peruvian liquor, and who's hoping to find a Ferrari parked under their tree.
Diane von Furstenberg: "The most important gift I give is a very long, personal letter—with a drawing! I always do that for my children and grandchildren, and I expect the same in return."Joseph Altuzarra: "I once received this weird bottle of Peruvian alcohol, which is so not me. I think it's still in my freezer. But this year, I really want an Ami leather jacket."Pamela Skaist-Levy: "There's always one art book every year that everyone seems to give and receive.

Selasphorus rufus
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Jeff Larsen
The feistiest hummingbird in North America. The brilliant orange male and the green-and-orange female Rufous Hummingbird are relentless attackers at flowers and feeders, going after (if not always defeating) even the large hummingbirds of the Southwest, which can be double their weight. Rufous Hummingbirds are wide-ranging, and breed farther north than any other hummingbird. Look for them in spring in California, summer in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and fall in the Rocky Mountains as they make their annual circuit of the West.
A fairly small hummingbird with a slender, nearly straight bill, a tail that tapers to a point when folded, and fairly short wings that don't reach the end of the tail when the bird is perched.
In good light, male Rufous Hummingbirds glow like coals: bright orange on the back and belly, with a vivid iridescent-red throat. Females are green above with rufous-washed flanks, rufous patches in the green tail, and often a spot of orange in the throat.
Rufous Hummingbirds have the hummingbird gift for fast, darting flight and pinpoint maneuverability. They are pugnacious birds that tirelessly chase away other hummingbirds, even in places they're only visiting on migration. Like other hummers, they eat insects as well as nectar, taking them from spider webs or catching them in midair.
Rufous Hummingbirds breed in open areas, yards, parks, and forests up to treeline. On migration they pass through mountain meadows as high as 12,600 feet where nectar-rich, tubular flowers are blooming. Winter habitat in Mexico includes shrubby openings and oak-pine forests at middle to high elevation.
Male Allen's Hummingbirds have a green back and rump. Rarely, male Rufous Hummingbirds show a green back, so look closely. If you see any completely rufous feathers (not just rufous-edged) on the back, it is a Rufous Hummingbird. Female and juvenile Rufous and Allen's hummingbirds are nearly indistinguishable in the field - it's probably better not to try to identify them during migration, when their ranges overlap considerably. In Allen's Hummingbirds, the outermost tail feather is narrower than the other tail feathers. Among other female hummingbirds, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds have paler buffy sides, lack rufous in the rump, and have little rufous in the tail. Calliope Hummingbirds have only a little rufous in the tail, lack rufous on the rump, and are smaller than Rufous Hummingbirds. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are grayish on the flanks rather than orange.
Rufous Hummingbirds may take up residence (at least temporarily) in your garden if you grow hummingbird flowers or put out feeders. But beware! They may make life difficult for any other hummingbird species that visit your yard. If you live on their migration route, visiting Rufous Hummingbirds are likely to move on after just a week or two.
Make sugar water mixtures with about one-quarter cup of sugar per cup of water. Food coloring is unnecessary; table sugar is the best choice. Change the water before it grows cloudy or discolored and remember that during hot weather, sugar water ferments rapidly to produce toxic alcohol.
Backyards and flower-filled parks are good places to find Rufous Hummingbirds while they're around, but these birds spend much of the year on the move. Check out the maps and charts from eBird to find out when Rufous Hummingbirds are reported in your area. You can select any location to display.

Village officials have teamed up with James Faith Entertainment—founders of the Great South Bay Music Festival in Patchogue—to organize Farmingdale's first ever two-day music festival, this September 13 and 14.
"Farmingdale is another town that is starting to move forward," festival producer Jim Faith told the Farmingdale Observer, last May. "[The inaugural festival] will be small, but we'll start growing it... music festival always take a few years to catch on."
Faith said that when he first started the Great South Bay Music Festival, back in 2007, it too started small, growing little by little each year. For its inaugural year, Faith booked folk musician Richie
Havens to headline the event. Now, more than eight years later, the festival has featured numerous big name musicians, including: the Doobie Brothers, WAR, Billy Squier, Taking Back Sunday, moe., and Blues legend B.B. King, to name a few.

Town Square
Farmers' Market - Family Style
Original post made by Jennifer Fogliani on Jun 26, 2011
But as soon as we heard that the Mountain View Farmers' Market was voted one of the best in California, we knew there were no more excuses. The following Sunday, at 10 am on the dot, the four us boarded the Light Rail and minutes later arrived at the farmers' market ready for an agricultural adventure.
There were already a lot of people. Young families enjoying the experience and seasoned shoppers inspecting the produce and buying the best the market had to offer that day.
After discussing our meals for the week, my husband, Norm, and I took turns buying our produce.
"A bag of green beans, please," Norm said and brought it back to show us how tender and green they were.
"A basket of strawberries, please," I said and turned the stroller to give our children, Josie and Owen, a sample.
"Isn't this fantastic?" I asked Josie and Owen as I pushed them to the next stand.
"Isn't this over?" Josie said, unimpressed by the experience so far.
My husband and I were shocked. We couldn't believe that they weren't having fun.
Rows of fresh produce. Free samples. A great community. We were having a blast. But Josie and Owen were looking for a McDonalds.
We decided to walk around one more time. We were half way through our last lap, when Josie and Owen started screaming and scrambling to get out of the stroller.
My husband and I looked around to see what fruit or vegetable had finally peaked their interest.
"I want a pink one," Josie said and ran full speed ahead to the man in a funny hat blowing up balloons.
Owen followed, "I want blue!"
And, suddenly, it all made sense. It wasn't fresh produce they were after. It was balloons animals.
"A blue tiger, please," Owen said.
"A pink butterfly, please," Josie said.
A few minutes later, we left the Mountain View Farmers' Market with bags of fresh produce, two fabulous balloon animals and two, finally, ecstatic children.
We hope one day Josie and Owen enjoy the Mountain View Farmers' Market for the wonderful people and incredible fresh fruits and vegetables. But, for now, they are too busy enjoying their balloon animals.
on Jun 27, 2011 at 1:14 pm
Well, I can't blame the kids...this time of year the local balloon animals are at their peak!
on Jun 27, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Agree - Definetly the best farmer's market I have been to.
on Jun 28, 2011 at 7:15 am
Much of what is passed off as fresh produce in the market is actually at peak or near spoiling, hence lower prices on only some of the products. The strawberries won't last but a few days, the oranges are the ones that have been lying on the ground and passed over. Only urbanites that never stepped foot on a farm or worked in agriculture would fall for the Euro-romantic, pastoral lure and illusion of a farmer's market in the middle of Mountain View. The market is more about projecting image and psychological comfort for many, as the writer here illustrates.

The Feb. 15 trade deadline is still over six weeks away, but that hasn't quieted the rumor mill on Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, who returned to the team Friday night after a two-game suspension stemming from an argument with head coach Keith Smart.
ESPN's Marc Stein writes that both the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons are interested in Cousins should the Kings make him available. Stein adds that despite extreme reservations from owners Joe and Gavin Maloof, Cousins could be put on the trading block in the next month and a half:
"There's a growing sense among potential suitors that under-fire Kings general manager Geoff Petrie, who has overseen zero trips to the playoffs under five coaches in the six-plus seasons since Rick Adelman left town, would be willing to move Cousins, preferably in exchange for a dependable veteran of quality or two who could bring some instant improvement to a franchise stuck in lottery land."
Cousins got in to an argument with Smart during the first half of a loss last Friday to the Los Angeles Clippers. The argument apparently spilled in to the Kings locker room at halftime, causing Smart to tell Cousins to stay in the locker room for the rest of the game. The next day the Kings suspended Cousins indefinitely. The team then announced his suspension had been lifted after one game, but Smart decided to sit Cousins for one more game after that. He was also suspended by the league earlier this season for an altercation involving San Antonio Spurs color commentator Sean Elliott.
Cousins returned to the line up for Friday night's win over the Knicks where he tallied 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

text: Was walking the dog today and noticed they are getting ready to replace the rails on a track nearby. Each new rail is about a half mile long and is one continuous piece. Upon closer inspection, it appears there is a weld seam about every 80', but it was difficult to spot, even on an unpainted rail. I did a google search on the equipment they use to replace the rails and ties. It is pretty amazing. I would love to watch the process when it happens.

It's another sign of how easy it is for our dry windy conditions to spark a fire. A grass fire broke out about one mile east of Highway 81 and three miles South of the Thompson exit on Interstate-29.
Firefighters were called around 1:00 Thursday afternoon, and able to put water on the fire and extinguish it rather quickly.
Crews across the valley remind people that until we get some rain, fires like these can get out of control in a moments notice.
"It doesn't take much, a little spark or something going on and it's so dry and the wind is up so it just takes it and it's hard to get in front of it sometimes," explains Dave Gilbert with the Thompson fire department.
A burn ban still remains in place in Grand Forks County along with several other counties across North Dakota.

Tales from sea
USS Henrico carried county's name around the world for 25 years
View a documentary by Henrico County Television Channel 17 about the USS Henrico.
From the storming of the beaches at Normandy in World War II, to the testing of an atomic bomb in Bikini Atoll, to the invasion of Okinawa, Henrico played a prominent role in some of the United States' most significant wartime events.
Not Henrico County, however – the USS Henrico.
The Henrico carried the legacy of its namesake county around the globe in peacetime and during conflict for nearly a quarter century, transporting sailors and soldiers to and from some of the bloodiest battles and most significant conflicts in modern times, earning 36 medals and commendations for its efforts.
For its legacy, and for the significance of the events it witnessed and in which it took part, the USS Henrico earned the No. 23 spot on the Henrico Citizen's list of the 24 most significant events in Henrico history. The Henrico is the only component of the list that did not occur in Henrico County itself.
But the history of the Henrico is one befitting one of the most historic locales in the United States.
A history of service
The Henrico (known as APA-45) began its career as the SS Sea Darter in 1942 but became an attack transport ship the following year, as part of a military build-up by the United States in anticipation of significant involvement in World War II. The ship was commissioned Nov. 26, 1943 by the U.S. Navy. Its primary responsibility was to move sailors and soldiers to and from their destinations in battle, and it did so repeatedly during its career.
That a locality had a Naval ship named after it was not, and is not, particularly noteworthy. At any given point in U.S. history, dozens upon dozens of ships have borne the names of such locales throughout the country.
In the Richmond region alone, three ships in the Navy's history have been known as the USS Richmond (the first being a brig launched in 1798; the second a wooden steam ship launched in 1860; and the third a CL-9 launched in 1921 and decommissioned in 1945). The USS Hanover served as an attack transport for one year during WWII, and the USS Chesterfield County (named jointly for its namesakes in Virginia and South Carolina) was a tank landing ship that operated between 1944 -55 and in the late 1960s.
No fewer than six ships have carried the name USS Powhatan, in honor of the Native American chief and father of Pocahontas who lived on land generally believed to be in present-day Henrico County.
But none of those ships boast the history of service of the USS Henrico, which saw action in some of the most famous engagements in WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Local connections
When its first Naval crew boarded the Henrico at Hoboken, N.J. in 1943, one of the young ensigns who climbed on board was Harry Roberts, a communications officer who had just been commissioned a month earlier himself. The ship's captain was John H. Willis, a well-liked leader who promised – and delivered – equitable treatment of officers and crew members.
Roberts, the youngest of seven children, was not far removed from his days as a student at the University of Richmond in the 1930s, when tuition cost $150 a year. ("I got a half scholarship – $75," he recalled with a chuckle during a 1999 interview.) He had been raised in Richmond, where his family still lived.
When the ship arrived in Norfolk – on a quick stop before its first trip across the Atlantic Ocean – Robert received permission to return to Richmond for a day to visit his family. During his day off, he made sure to stop at the Franklin Street home of a Mrs. Willis – the mother of Henrico's captain.
"Of course you know I was making brownie points," Roberts recalled in the 1999 interview, during which he clutched a smooth, pewter napkin ring with the number "25" engraved on the side. Each sailor received a similar ring, which served as a reminder that Willis was a man of his word. "He told us that the officers were going to eat the very same thing that the crew ate, and we did," Roberts said in the interview.
Roberts served on the ship for six months, during which time he sailed with it to the United Kingdom as part of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet's Transport Division Eleven. There, it practiced amphibious landings in preparation for the invasion of Europe that was to come.
On May 19, 1944, Roberts was transferred off the Henrico and onto the USS Barrett, after the Henrico crew determined it had too many communications officers. Nine days later, while in Portland, England, the Henrico responded to heavy air attack by firing its weapons in battle for the first time.
Little more than one week later, the Henrico and the 1,400 men on board were part of the first attack wave of Allied forces on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France on June 6 – D-Day. The ship carried wounded soldiers and sailors back to England later that day.
Less than a year later, following time in the Mediterranean, Henrico was in Kerama Retto, a group of six Japanese islands, helping to prepare for an invasion of nearby Okinawa, when a kamikaze fighter crashed into the ship, exploding two 250-pounds bombs below its deck. Forty-nine sailors and soldiers were killed in the deadliest attack the ship ever witnessed.
Among the dead was the ship's new captain, Chief Quartermaster James Shaw.
One war ends, another looms
During its solemn trip back to the mainland, Henrico once again came under the control of Willis, who served as captain for a month and a half. The mood aboard the ship, whose nickname was the "Happy Hank," likely was anything but cheerful.
The ship's damage was repaired within about a month, and it headed back to the Pacific in anticipation of more action. But the Japanese surrendered, ending the war.
For nearly five months during the following year, 1946, Henrico shuttled American soldiers home. Later that year, it took part in Operation Crossroads, an atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific.
Four years later, a new conflict developed and the Henrico sailed for Korea, arriving to participate in the landing at Inchon Sept. 15, 1950, when 40,000 United Nations troops defeated the North Korean army and earned a telling victory. Henrico saw action in Korea during parts of the next several years. It also traveled to Hong Kong to represent the United States in ceremonies recognizing the death of England's King George VI in 1952.
When the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in late 1962, Henrico sailed toward the conflict, only returning to the West Coast from the region after the crisis was averted.
In 1965, Henrico again was front and center in conflict, as part of the group that landed the first United States combat unit in Vietnam. It served in the region during a nine-month stint from 1966-67 before heading back to San Diego, where it was recommended for deactivation. Henrico's final trip concluded in Puget Sound, Wash., where it was decommissioned Feb. 14, 1968. The ship was sold by the United States Maritime Administration in 1979 and used for scrap metal.
During its service time, the ship earned 36 commendations, medals and ribbons for its performance.
Full circle
For Roberts – the sailor from Richmond who was part of the Henrico's first crew – the story came full circle. In 1996, he and his wife moved from Richmond to Henrico County.
"It was all good duty," he recalled in his 1999 interview, shaking his head slowly at the memories of war and the blessings that saw him home safely. "Lucky, just lucky."
Roberts was the only crew member known to have lived for a time in the county whose name the ship carried around the world for so many years. He died in 2006, and with him, a small piece of Henrico history fell silent.

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

MADISON (WKOW) – A Minnesota man is set to stand trial in May after being accused of killing a La Crosse photography store owner and his son.
Investigators say Jeffrey Lepsch of Dakota killed Paul Petras and Petras' son, A.J., at May's Photo in downtown La Crosse last September. During an October search, investigators say they recovered multiple items from the store at Lepsch's house.
Lepsch faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of armed robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Authorities said Lepsch has denied involvement in the deaths.
La Crosse County Circuit Judge Ramona Gonzalez has scheduled jury selection for May 3 and the trial is scheduled to begin on May 6.

SOUTH MUSKOKA — The answer to the question of what's open in Muskoka on...
Sometimes those of us in the industry, landscape architects, landscapers,...
MUSKOKA - Burning the region's garbage is not yet feasible but someday it may be, says District of Muskoka staff.
A discussion on solid waste incineration came up during a service review presentation at a district engineering and public works committee meeting.
Huntsville Mayor Claude Doughty commented that incineration seems to be the way of the future.
"We continue to see development with alternative methods of dealing with solid waste, and Durham Region is now embarking on quite a significant undertaking (of) using solid waste as a feedstock for power generation," he said.
The sooner alternative waste disposal methods become the norm, the better, he said.
"Certainly the technology around the world is getting better in terms of how we deal with solid waste," said Doughty. "It becomes pretty obvious that at some point in time somewhere in Ontario there will be a facility that will take solid waste and instead of burying it in the ground, we'll be dealing with it in an alternative and much more environmentally responsible fashion."
Doughty then asked for an update on incineration practices.
Tony White, commissioner of engineering and public works, said the district undertook a long-range solid waste management plan a few years ago and incineration was discussed.
While some plan participants supported the idea, others did not.
"It's a fairly difficult (subject) to draw a compromise on," said White. "But in the end, it was determined that to build an incinerator in Muskoka for the Muskokan market was not economically viable."
The path the district took — securing additional space at the Rosewarne Landfill Site — puts Muskoka in the enviable position of having a guaranteed method of waste disposal until at least 2035, said White.
But if it becomes feasible to ship Muskoka's waste to another municipality's incinerator in future, White said he would be the first to recommend it.
And if the incineration rates were to go up once the district was shipping off its waste, said White, Muskoka would be able to fall back on its landfill site.
But for now incineration does not seem to be an option for the region.
"There is certainly no aversion to advanced technologies and if the day comes when it's environmentally and financially viable to build an energy-for-waste facility in Muskoka, I'll be lining up," said White. "But right now it is not financially viable."
Doughty said at some point the number would be right.
"At some point, we'll become much more like Europe in how we deal with our solid waste. That's inevitable," said Doughty. "It may be out of our league at this point in time, but at some point it will be right."

We opted to fly into Seattle to avoid the International backup in Vancouver BC. Our 4 hour shuttle was very enjoyable, the bus driver pointed out all the sights along the way, the bus was clean and roomy. Upon arrival at the cruise terminal, boarding was welcoming and quick. Since we had no luggage to tug around (the shuttle fee included baggage handling to our cabin), we were able to have lunch with out the hassle.
The seas were smooth, the ship beautiful, room was more than we had expected, we were 2nd from the front with a great view from our window, I took some beautiful pictures from the window.
Shows were entertaining, comedian 'Sarge' was terrific, hope to see him again. He was not only funny, he sang beautifully and played the piano. Great entertainer and so personable. The captain was unquestionable the best, he manuvered our ship almost on top of the glacers.....and turned the ship so both sides enjoyed the sights. The entire cruise was very smooth waters. The beauty in Alaska is undescribable.
My negative report is the coffee, European instant syrup unless you buy a coffee card to get brewed from the coffee bar. still add hot water.

So, you finally landed a job writing for a big, hot-shot Internet company. Your mother must be so proud to see what you're producing for Yahoo! Shine! Unless, of course, she's like my mother. In that case she'd be appalled to see that you don't know compliment from complement and that you think pharaoh is a proper noun:
She'd be mortified to think that you put an apostrophe in the plural Kardashians:
She'd be ashamed to realize that you didn't bother to research Wilson Phillips and Chynna Phillips — just so you got the spelling right:
If your mother is like mine, she'd be grateful that you have a job — and that this article doesn't have a byline.

Open thread, 9/15, Braves vs. Ed Whitsons
Amid all the injuries and slumps, Kris Medlen's resurgence has been a bright spot. Medlen is pitching like Med Dog again, winning his last four starts with a 0.98 ERA, 26 K's and 4 BB in 27-2/3 IP.
It'll be interesting to see how Fredi aligns the rotation come October. Match-ups will certainly play a role — if the Braves draw the Reds, whose three best hitters (Votto, Choo and Bruce) are left-handed, you can bet Minor gets the Game 1 nod. I'd go with Minor regardless, though it's worth noting that, since the first of August, he's allowed more than a hit per inning with an ERA well above 4.
I doubt Julio T., who starts today, gets the nod, but he's been the team's most consistent starter since April, the only month he posted an ERA above 3.
The line-up:
I1. Schafer RF 2. J Upton LF 3 Freeman 1B 4. Gattis C'5. C.Johnson 3B 6. Simmons SS 7. EJohnson 2B 8. B Upton CF 9. Teheran p
