City's Deramus recycling center temporarily closing for site improvements
The City of Kansas City, Mo., is advising residents that the City's recycling center at 4707 Deramus Ave. will be closed from May 16-31 to facilitate site improvements.
The City received a $49,679 grant from the Mid-America Regional Council to improve and update the recycling center. The site renovations will include relocation of the site's main office; stripping and resurfacing of the parking lot; and repairs and replacement of existing fencing, among other aesthetic improvements.
"This improvement project will make a tremendous difference for both the residents that use the site and the dedicated volunteers and staff that make this operation possible," said Michael Shaw, manager of the City's Solid Waste Division. "This temporary closure will yield benefits for years to come."
Under Job Order Contract Services, Kellogg, Brown & Root Services will perform the improvements.
While the Deramus recycling center is closed, residents are encouraged to recycle at the City's other two recycling centers, at the Metro North Mall, 400 N.W. Barry Road; or at the former Wal-Mart Supercenter parking lot, 9051 Hillcrest Road.
Residents, contractors and local businesses are encouraged to take advantage of the improved recycling center when it reopens by bringing glass; plastics, #1&2; corrugated cardboard; mixed paper; newspapers; magazines; office paper; press board (cereal and food boxes); toner; and inkjet cartridges to the center for recycling.
Media inquiries should be directed to Dennis Gagnon, public information officer, 816-513-2659.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Monday insisted that he would not release more than the two years of tax returns he had already promised because they could be damaging to his White House ambitions.
Over the weekend, conservative Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol had said that Romney would be "crazy" not to "[t]ake the hit for a day or two" and follow in his father's footsteps by releasing more than just one or two years of returns.
During a Monday interview on Fox & Friends, the GOP hopeful laughed off the call to be more transparent by citing two failed presidential candidate.
"John McCain ran for president and released two years of tax returns," Romney explained. "John Kerry ran for president. You know, his wife, who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns. Somehow this wasn't an issue."
"The Obama people keep on wanting more and more and more," he continued. "More things to pick through, more things for their opposition research to try make a mountain out of and to distort and to be dishonest about. We're going to put out two years of tax returns."
While Romney is correct that Teresa Heinz Kerry declined to release any tax returns when her husband, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), ran for the White House in 2004, a candidate's wife is not usually held to the same standard as the candidate. Over a course of years of campaigning for the Senate and presidency, Sen. Kerry had actually released 20 years worth of returns by 2004.

Parker Defends Rep. Cohen: He Wasn't 'Necessarily' Comparing GOP to Nazis
On Thursday's Parker-Spitzer, CNN's Kathleen Parker acted as an apologist for Rep. Steve Cohen's uncivil comparison between Republicans and Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels: "He was talking about the saying that if you repeat a lie over and over and over again, it becomes the truth. I don't think he was necessarily saying Republicans are Nazis- come on!" (audio available here)
Parker and co-host Eliot Spitzer devoted the first full segment of their 8 pm Eastern hour program to "zeroing in on a couple of examples of where it's [political rhetoric] gone wrong," and brought on Tea Party critic and CNN contributor John Avlon for an extended version of his "wingnuts" segments from American Morning. Before even getting to Cohen's remark, the three spent most of the 10-minute segment critiquing Rush Limbaugh's recent stereotyping of the Chinese language and Alabama Governor Robert Bentley's inaugural address where he stated that non-Christians weren't his "brothers and sisters," as if those two examples were somehow on the same plane as the Tennessee Democrat's invective.
Unsurprisingly, Avlon blamed Limbaugh and other talk show hosts for the heated political rhetoric, and the two CNN hosts concurred:
[Video embedded below the page break]
AVLON: ...That's his game- and again, you can argue that Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. The problem is, he's also a political leader. He's a political leader without real responsibilities, and we're living in a time where politics is following the talk radio model- conflict, tension, fear and resentment- and politicians are acting like talk radio hosts, in which there is no such thing as too extreme. So that's part of the cycle we're in right now- the cycle of incitement.
SPITZER: Doesn't he have to make a choice? In other words, when comedians do certain things, they are given greater latitude. But as you just pointed out, Rush Limbaugh's not a comedian. Rush Limbaugh was using that stereotype, that mockery to make a point, to be disdainful, to put down, and to do things that are heinous, that are just bad.
PARKER: He would argue, though- look, I'm an entertainer. I'm a radio personality. I represent no one. I'm- you know, yes, he's been granted a great leadership position- I'm just playing devil's advocate here-
AVLON: Sure, sure- I got you.
PARKER: By the White House, by the way, and- you know, so I think he can defend himself, to the extent that he's not representing anyone except himself. But it was embarrassing, and it was goofy and it was just bad form. Can we just- can we condemn him on that basis?
AVLON: Oh, yeah (Parker laughs). I mean, that shouldn't be a long ball. But, I mean, here's the thing, is that Rush Limbaugh- he has a huge amount of influence in the contemporary Republican Party and conservative circles of debate, and the problem is, is that folks are very quick to excuse the inexcusable when it comes from their side. That's the problem with our politics today. We really want to reset our politics. We need folks to step up and criticize extremism on their own side, like William F. Buckley did, criticizing the John Birch Society back in the early 1960s. We haven't seen that lately. It's a lack of courage.
PARKER: Well, nobody wants to criticize Rush Limbaugh. We've seen what happens when you do-
AVLON: That's right. That's why it's a good fight.
PARKER: All right, let's go to the governor.
SPITZER: That's why he doesn't see himself as an entertainer, and I think you just made the critical point, John. The self-criticism needs to be self-criticism. It's easy to throw it across the aisle. It's easy for me to criticize- you know, Rush Limbaugh. We also, as Democrats- and I'm going to be a little partisan here for the right reason- have to be quick to say when Democrats have also crossed that line, if, in fact, we're going to bring it back to the middle. But I think Rush Limbaugh really has got to acknowledge that that sort of commentary is just wrong. To mock a foreign leader- let alone the racial stereotyping- but to mock a foreign leader, when he knows he's one of the two or three most powerful people in the Republican Party, just doesn't speak well for our nation. I don't think it's good for us.
One wonders if Spitzer also objects to all mocking of Kim Jong Il, Ahmadinejad, and Chavez as well.
After Parker raised Gov. Bentley's speech, Avlon added that the Republican's possibly insensitive proselytization was somehow part of a "cycle of incitement." Spitzer also went so far to compare it to a former Republican president's infamous use of slurs on tape:
PARKER: He [Bentley] was preaching to the choir, clearly-
AVLON: Yeah, he was preaching to the choir-
PARKER: But very exclusionary and- you know, I don't- he explained it after he apologized. He said- look, I was speaking to people like me, who understand. People in Alabama get it. But I've lived in Alabama, and not everybody gets it.
AVLON: No. I mean, clearly, he's not used to being governor yet, right? I mean, he was speaking as a deacon, as an evangelical. He was not speaking in his new role, which is the higher responsibility, to represent all people. That's the inclusive responsibility of leadership in a democratic society- and, look, we've had a whole string of these things, right? I mean, we- you know, every day, every week over the last two years, we've seen examples of the cycle of incitement. Sometimes it's stupid, idiotic- you know, innocent comments that are relatively innocent. Sometimes it's really people throwing bombs. But it's a cycle of incitement. It feeds off itself, and that's what we really- if we really want to reset, that's what we really need to do, is learn that lesson.
SPITZER: Let's not forget that these comments probably have been made all through our history-
PARKER: Sure, they have.
SPITZER: And I'm not saying this to justify any of the comments. I'm thinking back to Richard Nixon's tapes, for instance, which are only now beginning to come to light-
AVLON: Richard Nixon (unintelligible)-
SPITZER: In which- yeah, I mean, his tapes are just full of a litany of abusive, derogatory, racist comments about African-Americans, about Jews, about virtually every ethnicity one can imagine. That's sitting in the Oval Office, and again, this is just to put into historical context. One of the realities we have to deal with is that with microphones everywhere, with the Internet, hardly any individual comment can go unexamined, and therefore, additional sensitivity is required by those who are making the comments that will be heard.
Near the end of the segment, the former New York governor finally raised Rep. Cohen's slur against Republicans. Spitzer himself was actually tougher on his fellow Democrat than Parker was, as she made excuses for the congressman:
SPITZER: John, another politician whose rhetoric is getting a lot of criticism- and rightfully so- Steve Cohen, Democrat, who compared the Republican attacks about health care to the Nazis and to Joe Goebbels, who was the heinous propagandist for the Nazi regime. Again, one step, at least, beyond- one giant step beyond any sort of metaphor that should be used in the sort of ideological combat we're involved in. But let's take a listen. I think we have it on tape, and then we can talk about it.
REP. STEVE COHEN: They say it's a government takeover of health care- a big lie, just like Goebbels. You say it enough. You repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie- and eventually, people believe it.
SPITZER (live): All right, John, react to that one.
AVLON: Well, look, first of all, it came a couple days after he'd penned an op-ed calling for greater civility. That's count one- hypocrisy is the unforgivable sin. Count two is that he refused to apologize right away. I mean, this is not a complicated case here, right? I mean, Hitler is Hitler. The Holocaust is the Holocaust, and we need to sort of reground our American political debate. When folks start throwing around that kind of language, making these comparisons, it degrades everybody, and it's idiotic-
PARKER: Yeah. John, John-
AVLON: I mean, you know, it's like we're talking about tyranny and oppression in American politics.
PARKER: I agree with you to a degree, and I'm not defending anybody's speech here. I think- first of all, I think any time you bring up Hitler or the Nazis, you're disqualified from further conversation. You don't get to participate because it's just hackneyed-
AVLON: Godwin's law-
PARKER: It's bad thinking. But- you know, he was talking about the saying that if-
SPITZER: The big lie-
PARKER: You repeat a lie over and over and over again, it becomes the truth. I don't think he was necessarily saying Republicans are Nazis- come on!
AVLON: No, no- I mean, he was- that was his defense, right, is that he was making a metaphor about the big lie, and the big lie is a powerful concept. But still, you've got to be better than that. You've got to think bigger than that, and it's not like- you know, we've had- that's a pretty mild example of some of the rhetoric we've seen from congressmen recently- Democrats and Republicans, right? Trent Franks called President Obama the enemy of humanity. Alan Grayson called the Republicans the enemy of peace. We got to remember that our political opponents are not our personal enemies. We've forgotten that in our politics today, and that's part of that cycle of incitement. It encourages it.

As for replacing Kathleen Parker, even if they found the most far-right person in the world to take her spot, nothing would save this show. Plus I don't think Client #9 will stick around for long if they actually find someone to challenge him.

Conservative politicians have been publicly flogged by Democrats and the media for far more innocuous statements than the blatant one Cohen made. The media will parse a conservatives words with an elecrtron microscope to make them appear to be "controversial". If a Republican criticized an Obama statement about the economy and said Obama's words were there in "black and white", the media would all agree that the Republican's comment was about race.

A car theft suspect is recovering in a hospital Thursday morning after he jumped out of a moving vehicle in an attempt to run from DeKalb County police officers.
DeKalb police Lt. Dane Cunningham tells CBS Atlanta News that officers observed two stolen vehicles, a Dodge Caravan and a Dodge Ram, following each other on Candler Road just before 3:30 a.m.
When officers got behind the vehicles, the driver of the Dodge Voyager jumped out of the vehicle and ran in front of it while it was still in motion, according to DeKalb County police. The driver was struck by the vehicle, which continued over an embankment.
The Dodge Ram was later located in the 3300 block of Glenwood Road. A unidentified female suspect was taken into custody.
The unidentified 25-year-old who was struck by the vehicle was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition.
Both are facing auto theft charges.

As Steam Engine Days quickly approach, nine young women from the Mabel and Hesper area have chosen to be candidates for the 2014-2015 Steam Engine Days Queen.
The Mabel-Canton School Board finished final preparations for the upcoming school year at its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 19. The board took action by hiring an interim administrator/dean of students to replace former principal Jeff Nolte, hiring music teacher Mary Breon to lead the music department and discussing district finances.
Michelle Weidemann is excited to embrace an opportunity this coming school year. The educator will have the opportunity to embrace two of her passions — teaching and administration — as she takes the position of administrator/dean of students at Mabel-Canton School.
The Mabel Public Library's summer reading program ended last Thursday with an actor from the Minnesota Historical Society presenting a special event as Maude Hart Lovelace, a well-known Minnesota author from Mankato.
A public hearing was held on Tuesday, Aug. 12, during the Harmony City Council's regular meeting, to receive input on whether or not the city of Harmony should apply for a $35,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The council voted to apply for the funds and pursue the purchase and installation of a new civil defense siren and a generator for the fire hall.
For the second year in a row, the grand marshals of the Hesper-Mabel Steam Engine Days parades will honor local organizations.
Fillmore County Republican Chairman Doug Baker of Lanesboro is expressing frustration about the party's plea to endorse First District congressional candidate Jim Hagedorn, who won the primary election.
Fillmore County commissioners voted Tuesday, Aug. 26, following a public hearing, to enact a half-cent local option sales tax to help improve an aging road infrastructure in the county.
It's interesting how hearing is such a prominent sense among humans. Of course it has always been important, but it has never been more influential in a person's life, especially in developed countries. All over the country it would most likely be very difficult to walk down the street of a big city and not see someone sauntering down the sidewalk with headphones in their ears. College campuses have students walking to class listening to their iPods every day.
As the summer months wind down and school is around the corner, the Root River Trail System prepares for one more big event for the summer going into fall, Taste of the Trail.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The West Virginia Senate is set to vote on a bill limiting the liability that nursing homes can face in potential lawsuits.
The bill would explicitly apply the state's Medical Professional Liability Act to nursing homes. That 2003 law sets a $500,000 limit on the amount of non-economic damages that medical providers can be held liable for. The bill also states that the legislature always intended for that law to cover nursing homes.
In 2011 a jury found a Charleston nursing home liable for $91 million in damages for the death of an 87-year old woman. The jury found that nursing homes were not always covered under the state's medical liability protections.
The bill unanimously passed out of committee Thursday. The Senate is expected to vote on it next week.

The latest recruit to the Rocky Mountain Rangers was almost immediately promoted to corporal because he lasted a week or two in the Chilcotin Plateau on his own.
He was found on March 30 by a couple of the rangers who were out driving around and doing training exercises in the area on the last day of a 10-day session.
"He was trying to eat a leather glove. He was pretty hungry," Master Cpl. Jeremiah White said Wednesday.
At first, he thought they'd come across a young bear. The rangers got closer and realized it was an injured eight-month-old border collie cross.
"He was limping. He could barely use his back end," he said.
"We picked him up, took him back to camp, fed him a ration."
They called the veterinary clinics in the area, but no one had reported the dog missing
"We figured he jumped out of a truck or somebody drove up there and left him," he said.
And so the rangers took some camouflage lining out of some jackets and made Cpl. Chilco a bandana.
"We promoted him to corporal because of his survival ability."
White's girlfriend works at Valleyview Veterinary Clinic, so it was a natural fit that that's where the dog would be taken. Turned out Cpl. Chilco had a broken jaw — an expensive fix that might have been the reason he was dumped off in the first place, he said.
"His jaw was shattered, basically," White said.
Chilco's first surgery was an attempt to stitch the jaw back together, but it turned out there was so much dead flesh, the sutures didn't hold. He underwent a second operation a few days ago.
Veterinarian Dr. Bruce Maricle said Chilco is a lucky dog who wouldn't have survived much longer if he hadn't been found by the rangers.
"He was pretty darned thin," he said.
The dog received some kind of hard blow to the mouth that broke the jaw and knocked out a lower canine tooth. Despite whatever occurred, Chilco has shown to have a great temperament.
"Border collies tend to be timid. This dog was very friendly, very easy to work with," he said.
The best-case scenario would be to put in a new jaw plate, but that costs between $2,000 and $2,500, Maricle said.
Because the rangers didn't have that kind of money, he went with another option which was to stitch the jaw together firmly with material that will last three months, giving the bones time to heal and reattach.
"I've had really good success with this method. There may be a need for a plate down the road," he said.
"The healing can be very remarkable in terms of how much damage can be done, and six months later, you go what damage?'"
An X-ray showed his back end was bruised, but nothing was broken.
White said Chilco is already recovering well.
"He's running around now pretty well."
Clinic staff, including White's girlfriend, donated much of their time, but the bills are still adding up. The rangers have passed the hat for their new mascot, and have even set up a Facebook page to seek more donations.
In the meantime, he has found a home.
"He's a real sweetie. He's an amazing dog. If we didn't already have two, I'd adopt him myself," said White.
But since he did have two dogs, Master Cpl. Simon Labelle was looking for a dog, so he offered to take Chilco. He has a ranch where the recovering dog will have room to run.
So far, he gets along with the other animals on the farm, except one.
"He's afraid of the pig," White said.
The Facebook page for Cpl. Chilco is called Cpl. Chilco Rescue.

Physics Colloquium: Thursday, 9/4, at 4:10 PM in Lewis Lab 316. Refreshments available at 3:45 PM in Lewis Lab 317. Speaker: Roger Cudney; Title: Optical Devices Made with Ferroelectric Domains in Lithium Niobate
Lehigh Physics Graduate Students won second prize in 2013 Annual Cantalobber Contest at Kutztown University.
Department of Physics at Lehigh University
A Message from the Chair
Spring 2014. We are still digging out from all the snow!!! Making up classes lost to the weather keeps us very busy. Nevertheless, the year got off to an excellent start. Our REU NSF grant was renewed for another five years. John Huennekens stepped down after more than 20 years as director, and Ginny McSwain took over his role. Applications are coming in already, but it is not too late to apply. We are looking forward to another exciting summer.
The department was awarded an internal grant for a new femto-second laser. This will complement existing instruments in the Physics Laser Laboratory that occupies the first floor of the Sherman Fairchild Laboratory. It will enable a wide variety of research for our faculty, including studies on nonlinear optical imaging, time-resolved spectroscopy, and laser-induced materials modification.
In early February, Joshua Pepper gave an exciting presentation at an ASA Packer Society Event at the Franklin Institute's Fels Planetarium in Philadelphia. After a dinner and demonstration of the amazing possibilities of the planetarium, Joshua told society members, all long-time friends and benefactors of Lehigh, about How to Discover a Planet in Three (Not So) Easy Steps. The exciting talk was followed by a long Q&A section that continued through dessert.

Setting: Sometime during the Bay films
Characters: Optimus Prime
We came to this planet because ours was gone.
The quest for power consumed our home. The need for domination destroyed us. Still we live, and yet there is a piece in each of us that has been decimated forever. We will never recover what we have lost.
I look down upon this planet, and I wonder why we try.
It is evident by now that we have lost the capacity for peace. War follows in our wake. We came to retrieve the AllSpark, which has long since been lost, and we are still here. All that came of attempting to revive our planet was the relocation of the war from our planet of death to this planet of life. There is so much life on this planet.

Founded by the same folks who created the hit YOU DON'T KNOW JACK® game series, The Jellyvision Lab, Inc. uses Interactive Conversation, a new approach to interactivity we've pioneered, to create virtual teachers, insurance agents, salespeople. . . you name it. Interactive Conversation allows machines to communicate more like people. Not in a creepy robot sort of way, but in a fun, radio/television sort of way.
Rather than use this ability for global domination, Jellyvision has made it our mission to use Interactive Conversation for good-- to create the single most delightful way people can learn about, and make better decisions about, the products and services that impact their health and well-being. To that end, we've created a benefits communication platform, called ALEX® (www.meetalex.com), and he's helping employees make better-informed decisions, without boring them to tears, much to the joy of their employers.
We need people who can develop insightful, engaging, and clever communication for our ALEX platform. People who can quickly master a subject area, figure out the best approach, create an outline, and get buy-in from corporate partners and internal stakeholders. Then, there's the writing. . . the content we'll create may include interactive conversations, videos, e-books. . . or whatever communication platform we can dream up next. Throughout, our writers work with visual artists and lead a cross-functional creative team to bring their scripts to life.
More specifically, here are some qualities we're looking for:
First and foremost, you must be a great writer. Great writing is what defines Jellyvision, and it's what makes our products unique. Our writers have an ear for how actual people actually talk in their actual lives. They are master explainers, and can do so in an established voice, while keeping brand guidelines and client goals in mind.
We look for Interactive Writers who can:
• Convey concepts creatively, logically and concisely
• Get inside the minds of their audience
• Understand what's inherently interesting and relevant about whatever they are communicating about
• Dig deep into a number of different subject matter areas related to healthcare and employee benefits. If you like asking questions until you figure out what makes a subject interesting to you--that's the kind of writer we're seeking.
• Learn new software quickly
You should be audio-visually minded.
This job is about writing for the ear, not the page. Most typically, you'll be stringing a voice actor's recorded audio together and complementing it with on-screen text and animation to create a cohesive experience. Any background or dabbling in audio or film editing will come in handy (though it's not required).
You should be able to play well with others.
You're a writer. You like to sit in a quiet, dark room and draft your masterpieces. Or a bustling café and draft your masterpieces. We get it, and we think you're neat. But you'll almost definitely need to talk to some people, and even some clients. That means asking insightful questions and being a good listener, presenting and selling your work to our partners (some of whom sit in boardrooms and wear suits and drive very nice cars), and generally maintaining a stellar relationship with the companies who pay us.
You should have an interest or background in marketing/branding/benefits/corporate communications.
We're looking to mine deep veins of raw, natural talent (meaning you don't need 10 years of paid writing experience on your resume to be considered), but we also want to see that you have a background or interest in communicating with people on behalf of companies. At root, that's what we do: creating products that help companies communicate with their employees. You need to bring the smart, and you need to bring the funny, but what you're bringing those to. . . is benefit communication efforts, so you really need to be interested in that kind of stuff. Or, at least, be ready to find the challenges in this subject matter that are interesting to you.
What other characteristics should you have?
• Charm - You'll work with everyone from corporate partners to subject-matter experts to internal teams, and being friendly, outgoing, and fun to work with will go a long way with everyone.
• Technical aptitude - We won't ask you to set up our wireless network or write code or anything, but you will be using complicated software that you've never used before (because we invented it). Thus, the ability to master new software is a must.
• Speed, efficiency, and the ability to meet deadlines
• Exceptional creativity
• Self-sufficiency
• Crazy attention to detail, without being crazy - That is, perfectionists who can meet deadlines.
• Team-playerness
• Excellent communication skills
• Motivation
• Grace in giving and receiving criticism and feedback
• Last but not least, as we may have mentioned, you should be funny.
Anything else?
Yes. We only hire nice, bright people who are willing to work hard. Jellyvision is a group effort and Interactive Writers must be capable of working collaboratively with other writers, artists, editors, media producers, engineers, project managers, and clients. Everyone at Jellyvision shares a commitment to excellence and a desire to work in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Please check out http://www.jellyvisionlab.com to learn more.
ARE THERE ANY PERKS? Yes, we perk.
• Competitive pay, stock options and benefits. 401(k) with matching. And we pay 100% of the cost of premiums for medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance for our employees (as long as you don't use tobacco -- if you do, you're going to have to kick in some for the medical premiums). We also cover a really nice chunk of the cost of premiums for spouse/partner/dependent medical, dental and vision insurance.
• Casual dress and a flexible schedule. Come in a sweatshirt, jeans, whatever, like everyone else here.
• Creative work environment. We are lucky to work in a place that is full of intelligent, talented and innovative folks. Although most hours the place is deathly quiet (we're a focused bunch), this is punctuated with hilarious outbursts and general merriment, which makes a nice way to spend the day.
• Free food. Every week, we stock our kitchen with free healthy foods - sandwich, cereal and snack type things - it's fair game to all employees, while it lasts.
• Easy transportation. We're really close to the 'L' and the Halsted (#8) bus, and we have a transit FSA that allows you to dedicate pre-tax dollars to public transportation expenses. Since a number of our employees like to bike to work, we also have showers and lockers in the office.
• Free parking. While we support using public transportation and muscle power to get to work, we also realize that, for some folks, driving is the only way to get here.
• Did we mention our yoga class? We bring a pro instructor right to the office. Fully subsidized by Jellyvision and fully optional, btw.
• Oh! And you should know that we have a massage chair. And not just any massage chair, my friend. It's the HumanTouch HT 5320 WholeBody™ Massage Chair. Feeling a little stiff? Sit down. Relax. Feel better? Good. Okay, back to work.
INTERESTED? We're asking for 3 items, outlined below. Yeah, we know it's a lot--but we take this process very seriously, and we can't consider your application without each of the following:
1) Your resume.
2) A thoughtful cover letter that outlines how your experience makes you right for this job, and from which we can get a sense of who you are. We weigh cover letters heavily -- especially for writing positions like this one.
3) A writing sample. 250-400 words explaining how our sense of sight works. Here are five qualities we're really looking for:
• Ability to teach and explain using clear, everyday language (imagine speaking to a bright 7th-grader)
• An innate understanding of how to structure a story
• Humor used on task (which means humor used to explain concepts, and not just for the sake of the humor itself). Put another way: don't add funny around an explanation; the explanation should itself be funny.
• Ability to use metaphor and example to explain complicated subjects
• Efficiency (hence, the 250-400 word limit)
Don't write an interactive conversation. We just want to see a couple paragraphs where you explain how the human eye takes in information - you know, 'sight' - in an interesting, engaging way. If it helps, imagine you work for a cool website, targeted at adults, that explains scientific topics to laypeople, and you've been asked to write "The Basics of Sight" or "How We See" or some similarly titled piece. Please submit your cover letter and writing sample as one document where the system requests a cover letter.
You will receive an auto-reply confirming that we've received your application, and you will hear from us again after we've reviewed your application and decided whether or not to move you forward in our recruiting process.
**No phone calls please.**
Thanks for your interest in Jellyvision!

Community Development Block Grant
The primary objective of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is "the development of strong urban communities" accomplished "by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities." While the benefits of such activities can be derived by virtually any citizen of the City, either directly or indirectly, the focus of the program is "principally for low- and moderate-income persons.
Target Areas 2009-2013
Under the Lubbock City Council's guidance, the Community Development Department takes a concentrated approach to community revitalization. By choosing small areas in which to concentrate programs, success will be realized sooner. HUD considers Block Group areas eligible if over 51 percent of their population is below 80 percent of the median income for the City of Lubbock. Areas, which are eligible under this definition, are considered for targeting. Needs and conditions of all eligible neighborhoods are evaluated in the process. Target areas are chosen through a process that coordinates recommendations of Community Development, Services Board members, neighborhood associations, citizens, and the City Council.

CARROLLTON — There were new charges Wednesday in the murder-for-hire plot of a Carrollton mother and wife.
Investigators believe he was part of a plot — along with Nancy Howard's husband, John Franklin Howard — to have her killed.
She was shot in the head at her home two weeks ago. She lost one eye in the attack, but is expected to recover.
Police have not yet named a suspect in the shooting, which has raised concerns among neighbors.

There are less than three weeks to go before the 2013 NFL Draft kicks off. We know more about the prospects and potential matches with teams than we did a month ago, but trying to predict those draft picks isn't any easier. With players from the middle of the first to the middle of the second round not separated by much, this is going to be one of those drafts where the focus is on getting the player the team wants versus waiting to see who fate delivers. That's something you see more and more of in the mock drafts this year.
The latest mock draft from SB Nation is three rounds of fun, three full frames that have the St. Louis Rams filling big needs with the predicted picks. Let's take a look.
R1, No. 16 - Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
The Rams need to address safety early, and with the Cowboys and the Bengals picking behind them, this is the best spot to do it. Kenny Vaccaro is a flawed prospect in some ways, but his athleticism is such that he could be an immediate weapon is used properly.
I'm not sure about the Rams and Vaccaro. This is a deep group of safeties, and it's also one where each player looks a little different. Teams will want the safety that best fits their defense. There's not much talk about the Rams and Vaccaro, outside of mock drafts. For my money, Cyprein might be the better safety pick for St. Louis.
Notable in this mock draft is Chance Warmack falling to No. 18. I wouldn't be any more surprised to see him fall that far than I would to see him picked in the top 10. He is a guard, a very good one, but still a guard.
R1, No. 22 - D.J. Fluker, RT, Alabama
I know the Rams have been pegged for a wide receiver with one of their first-round picks in nearly every mock draft, but D.J. Fluker would help round out the rebuild of St. Louis' offensive line. Plus, day two should be filled with capable wide receivers.
On the one hand, I like this pick. On the other hand, this is a case where the Rams might be better suited to trade up a few spots for Warmack or Cooper and look for quality tackle depth later in the draft. And what about a receiver? Keenan Allen is still on the board in this scenario.
R2, No. 46 - Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
The Rams missed out on wide receivers in the first round but still wind up with a wide receiver with a high ceiling in Justin Hunter.
The good news about a torn ACL, which he suffered in 2011, is that it does take away his size. The bad news is that he doesn't seem to play as big as he did before that injury. Oh, and his speed hasn't been the same either. Without that incident, Hunter might be the top receiver in this draft. Can he regain that form? This scouting report from Mocking the Draft compares him to Kenny Britt, a player Jeff Fisher knows well ... albeit, Britt without the endless rap sheet.
R3, No. 76 - Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
Ellington is a smaller back with the speed to do most of his damage on the outside. He's actually a lot like Isaiah Pead, but a little better about picking his spots. He probably wouldn't be my choice if the Rams really are looking for a running back on the first or second day of the draft.

|BIW September Meeting--New Venture Capital Scenarios: How Sharks and Kids Swim Together for Success
|Los Angeles, CA, USA
|Sep 09, 2014
|Organizer: Beauty Industry West (BIW)
Venue: Crowne Plaza Hotel LAX
Description: A new era of unique funding sources for beauty and other ventures has emerged. Crowd funding, which topped $5.1 billion in revenue raised worldwide in 2013 from sites such as Indiegogo.com, CrowedFunder.com and MicroVentures.com, has grown enormously. And media venues such as Shark Tank on ABC are also launching or helping successful businesses grow by joining those with money to the inventors and idea-people. Both models are fueled by three key factors: the project creator, an entrepreneur who proposes the idea, product, service or project; the funding source, either an individual or group who commit to fund and support the idea; and, in some cases a moderator, an organization or group that bonds the parties together to monitor or carry out the proposal and report on progress. Megan Gage, BIW's September 2014 speaker, was able to fund her growing business at a critical time through the vehicle of Shark Tank, when venture capitalist Mark Cuban decided to invest.

PHILADELPHIA ¢ Rookie Nick Foles is only a formal announcement from starting his first NFL game Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
Everyone knows it except Michael Vick, who hasnÆt been ruled out but is so light-sensitive and headachy he was sent home to rest Wednesday.
ōHeÆs hurting a little from the concussion but heÆs in a good place,ö head coach Andy Reid said. ōI havenÆt tried to overburden him. I want him to rest right now. WeÆve tried to keep him away from here, out of the light and resting. ThatÆs kind of what heÆs doing, trying to get him to feel just a little bit better. The headaches are subsiding just a bit and thatÆs a good thing.ö
Foles is as pumped up as a rookie third-round draft pick can be. If Vick hadnÆt been the EaglesÆ starter, Foles would have felt left out on opening day when four rookie quarterbacks started: Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Brandon Weeden and Russell Wilson. All were first-round picks except Wilson, a third-round choice of the Seahawks.
Before the draft last spring, NFL draft authority Mike Mayock divulged his personal research into the quarterback position with statistics from the previous eight lotteries.
The finding was teams had less than a 10 percent chance of drafting a quarterback outside of the first round.
Wilson is an exception, the Seahawks already 6-4.
Foles has a golden opportunity to skew the results as Reid thinks, but isnÆt certain that Vick will play again this season.
ōIÆm ready. IÆm excited to just play again,ö Foles said. ōLike IÆve said before, my prayers are with Mike and I just want him to be healthy. ItÆs my time to just go out there, play, do everything I can for this team and help in any way possible. We just have to play fast.ö
Foles threw for 219 yards and one touchdown but had an interception returned for a touchdown and a fumble recovered for a score in a 38-23 loss to the Cowboys. It easily could have been two pick-sixes but Orlando Scandrick dropped a pass.
ōI learned a lot,ö Foles said. ōThings happen when you least expect it. You canÆt turn over the ball in this league. We had two costly turnovers and you canÆt do that. Just play fast and play within myself. We have a lot of great guys on this team and great coaches. We just have to continue to stick together. These have been trying times, and everyone has stuck together. Just stick together, work together, and play as hard as we can for one another.ö
The Eagles have lost five straight games, the Redskins four of their last five starts in this game of 3-6 teams.
* * *
ThereÆs not much video of Foles.
ItÆs not like heÆs a stranger to Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan.
ōYou go back to preseason and take a look at how he played,ö Shanahan said on a conference call. ōWe had a chance to be around him for a week at the Senior Bowl. HeÆs a great kid, a fun kid to be around, with a lot of talent.ö
* * *
Danny Watkins practiced fully at right guard Wednesday after sitting out three games due to an ankle issue.
Rookie Dennis Kelly, who started those games at guard, took snaps there and at right tackle where he could replace King Dunlap this weekend. Demetress Bell practiced at left tackle.
Look for Kelly to start at right tackle giving the Eagles their sixth different starting lineup of the season.
Offensive lineman Jake Scott, no relation to the Miami DolphinsÆ great safety, checked in for his first day of practice Wednesday.
Scott was so happy to be working the veteran of 121 starts with the Titans and the Colts didnÆt realize he said he sat out up to this point of the season because he wanted to find the right situation.
And this is it?
Scott was a victim of coaching and front office changes in Indy.
Former Eagles Winston Justice and Mike McGlynn start there. Former Eagle A.Q. Shipley filled in at center. Ryan Grigson, formerly of the Eagles, is the ColtsÆ GM.
Wide receiver Jason Avant (hamstring), running back Chris Poke (toe) wonÆt play this weekend ģ Wide receiver Mardy Gilyard (hamstring), Vick (concussion) didnÆt practice ģ Actor Bradley Cooper attended practice. Something symbolic about Eagles hosting the star of The Hangover, The Hangover II and The Hangover III.

PLATTSBURGH — A Plattsburgh woman who allegedly stabbed someone at 207 South Peru St. on Sunday evening faces a charge of second-degree assault with intent to use a deadly weapon, a felony.
Plattsburgh City Police say a domestic incident was unfolding at the residence, and Jackie Staley, 41, was holding a knife when she punched Niraa Shilling, 37, inflicting superficial wounds on the Plattsburgh man.
She was arrested at about 6:10 p.m. and later arraigned in City Court; she is also charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a deadly weapon, a misdemeanor.
She posted $2,000 bail; police didn't yet know the date of her next court appearance.
Shilling, also of Plattsburgh, was treated at CVPH Medical Center then released, City Police Chief Desmond Racicot said.

Planning applications approved by Bishop's Waltham councillors
11:00am Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Wesley Rock
Bishop's Waltham Parish councillors gave their approval to two planning applications on Tuesday (Jan 13).
They were unanimous in their decision to make no comment or recommendations regarding plans for an extension to a listed Grade II building in Bank Street. The application was from MRS A Alldridge.
But they were split on the application of Mr and Mrs Holtom, of Field Farm, Dundridge Lane, who have applied for permission to demolish the rear of the farmhouse, replacing it with a two-storey extension.
They had objected to a previous application which it was felt would be detrimental to the appearance of the South Downs National Park. On the basis that the revised application was deemed suitable by Winchester City Council's Historic Environment officers, three parish councillors voted in favour of making no further recommendations. There three abstentions and the proposal will go before Winchester City Council for consideration.

Good pockets
Jacket is good with plenty of adjustments, although I did have to go up a size from my Frank Thomas jacket. Good size pockets with descent seals, neck also has good adjustment. Yes, sleeves are long but that isn't a problem when riding. Overall great value jacket.Antony Robinson-gamby - High Wycombe
The visor is a visor, and an Arai visor at that, so just as expected, of top quality. What was really appreciated was the good price (the best i could find) and it being dispatched and arriving perfectly. Thanks.Anonymous - Nr Harlow

Buy a size up and you will not be disappointed. Unfortunately I have only had the chance to use it twice since buying, but really and truly as motorcyclists we don't really want to have to use these right? Anyway.... BONE DRY. keeps the wind out. Teamed with Sportsbikeshop's outstanding customer service, this was the easiest product I've purchased in a long time!Anonymous - Hornchurch

Fed up with trying to fit the cups under ZZR swingarm and not scratch it, thought hook adapters and bobbins would do the trick? Job done, quality items, quick delivery, much easier to sort chain and clean rear wheel now.Neil Anderson - Skegness

Red tape still marks the doors at 21-year-old Brystal Chambers' 12th Street home.
Brystal Leeann Chambers was found dead in her 12th Street home, after neighbors and co-workers reported her missing for several days.
It's been two weeks since her suspicious death and Henderson police are still working to find answers.
Chambers' sister described her as outgoing. She told 14 News that Chambers loved to spend time with her 2-year-old.
Chambers' co-workers at Hardee's remember her as a good friend.
Neighbors say they've been a little on edge since Chambers' body was found in her home in suspicious fashion.
"I haven't been out much since this has happened," neighbor Cheryl Stone told 14 News. "We don't go out much after dark, you know unless we have to go somewhere and then go back home. We don't stay out after dark or sit out on the patio anymore. We're not ready to yet."
Henderson police say they've been investigating the area and are still waiting for autopsy and toxicology results.
They say those results are the missing piece to the puzzle.
Lieutenant Chip Stauffer tells us that there are no confirmed suspects in the case.
Brystal's sister says they will be holding a hacienda Gives Back at the First Avenue location on Sunday. There is also a memorial account set up in her name at 5/3 Bank.
As soon as the autopsy results are in, we will let you know.
