There are two Ben Cherington quotes that may end up defining the Red Sox' approach toward building a pitching staff this offseason.
The first came in early November when the stink of beer and chicken was just starting to get washed off the 2011 season.
"This offseason is going to be more about fixing what's under the hood than it is about buying a new car," Cherington said following his day-long interview with then-managerial candidate Sandy Alomar Jr. "We're going to make moves and we're going to build pitching depth and we're going to be active."
Then came Monday's directive.
"Our needs are a lot different this year than they were last year," Red Sox general managers Ben Cherington told reporters from his suite at the Hilton Anatole Hotel on the first day of the baseball winter meetings. "We may be less likely to go out and sort of set the market this year than we were last year. The timing of things may be different."
Translation: There will likely be no C.J. Wilson, Mark Buerhle, Roy Oswalt or even Hiroki Kuroda. Jonathan Papelbon, Heath Bell, Matt Capps and Joe Nathan are all no longer options, and, in the Red Sox' eyes, may not have been to begin with.
As the agents come and go, from suite to suite, the Red Sox are seemingly waiting to see which free agents are left standing. Why? Because they can.
As WEEI.com's Alex Speier documented Monday, money won't be flowing as freely as we saw during the '10 offseason, it would seem in part because of a hesitancy to cross the luxury tax line, not necessarily for this season (because that may be a foregone conclusion) but for the future, when penalties from the new CBA truly kick in.
This is why any approach toward jumping into the race to acquire one of the more pricier relievers will depend somewhat on how much money is being allocated to the likes of David Ortiz (who has to decide whether or not he will be accepting arbitration by Wednesday at midnight).
While admitting that budgetary issues always play a factor in the Red Sox' approach, Cherington did downplay the immediate need to draw back due to luxury tax concerns.
"It's something we're aware in the sort of long-term projection of the payroll and managing the long-term payroll forecast. And it has been that way every year that I can remember," Cherington said. "The changes that have occurred are things we need to factor in and we will, and it does effect planning to some degree. I would say it hasn't changed our approach this offseason to any large degree, but it is something we need to manage over a longer path."
Yet, there was no mistaking the difference in approach the Red Sox figure on taking when it comes to paying pitchers on the free agent market.
"You never say never, but I think it's more likely we'll be pursuing other options," Cherington said during his session with the Boston media at the baseball winter meetings. "We always want to stay involved to the extent we have the latest information and keep your options open because you never know what may come your way and how that may change things. I would say it's less likely we'll be involved in those top tier guys as relative to the past."
But, besides straight-up money, there is another reason the Red Sox might play the wait-and-see game when it comes to molding a group of pitchers: Daniel Bard.
When reached by phone Monday night, Bard reiterated that he has no preference when it comes to filling the role of starter or closer heading into the 2011 season. Fresh off talking to new manager Bobby Valentine early in the day, the righty said: ""I really didn't give an actual preference," Bard said. "I did make it very clear to them that I have no reservations about moving to the rotation. I told them I'd take any role they choose to give me and run with it, whether that's starting or closing. I guess by making it clear that I would be willing to start may have made it seem like a preference, but I just want to make it clear that I felt like I could thrive in either role."
There's no certainty that Bard will be able to excel in either new role like he did in his previous lot in life, but simply having a pitcher with the potential to execute on a similar level is a luxury most teams can't boast. Toronto, for instance, also needs a closer, but don't necessarily have a great back-up plan if the game-enders keep getting plucked out of the market. And there are plenty of teams in the same spot as the Red Sox, needing to fill out at least the last two spots in their starting rotation. But few have the kind of arm that Bard could potentially bring to the party if the starting pitching pool runs dry.
For now, according to Cherington, both player and team will have to wait to see how exactly Bard will be preparing come the new year.
"There's always the chance that isn't determined now but later on or in spring training. We certainly want to give Daniel a chance to prepare for spring training in the right way, and so we'll figure that out, but it's a factor," the GM said. "It's something that will sort of weigh against different opportunities that are out there with respect to acquiring this pitcher or that pitcher.
"I don't think it has to be made now. I think we have to talk about how to prepare him for spring training. That's something we'll need to do pretty soon. I don't think we have to have his role completely defined. Maybe we will. I don't think we have to. I do think it relates some to decisions we'll make on pitching this offseason."
Is it somewhat of a risk to watch the money-spending baseball world go by? Sure. Does it offer some discomfort for an organization whose payroll is unmatched by every team not wearing pinstripes? Absolutely. But the circumstances have to be put in perspective.
They weren't going four years with an option for Papelbon. And a similar approach was taken toward Bell (who was never made an official offer by the Red Sox prior to signing his three-year, $27 million deal with Miami). They didn't feel comfortable giving multiple years for a reliever the age of Nathan (which might mean bad news for those Francisco Cordero fans), and Capps simply was valued more by the Twins than the Sox.
There are still some left -- Frank Francisco, Brad Lidge, Jon Rauch, Ryan Madson, Francisco Rodriguez and a bunch of maybe-but-not-quites. When the music stops (or at least gets faint), there will be some assurance with the idea that Bard represents that big-ticket item at the end of the bullpen. The guess here is that the best chance Bard has of moving out of the bullpen lies with the ability of the Red Sox to trade for either Huston Street or Andrew Bailey, both of whom are being available by their respective clubs.
There are no guarantees, a notion that was relayed by Orioles manager Buck Showalter when talking about his club's own approach toward Jim Johnson, whom may be moving from late-inning reliever to starter.
One initial focus has been on starting pitching, but it's very obvious from talking to other clubs that that's exactly what they're looking for, too," Showalter said. "It's a premium. You look at what Tampa's done and the depth they have in the starting rotation, and they build a bullpen. Neither one of them is easy, but it's a lot more challenging to put together a rotation in the off-season than it is a bullpen."
Even with the potential of Bard and Aceves as starters, there are no certainties. One or both could end up back in the bullpen, and if they don't the Sox would still be needing to secure some sort of legitimate starting depth. Last year, they were able to sell Aceves on the potential opportunity, but other than journeyman Brandon Duckworth, there weren't too many free agent starters who saw enough opportunity to sign up with the Sox.
This time is a bit different, as the Red Sox could be offering much more realistic chances for starters looking to jump-start their careers (for whatever reason) due to the vacant spots left by injuries to Daisuke Matsuzaka and John Lackey.
"I think it does represent an opportunity for guys who are at different points in their career, maybe less proven, needing to bounce back from something, for whatever reason, maybe a little bit of a down cycle," Cherington said. "It is a little different conversation when you have opportunity."
Money. Bard. Opportunity. Add them all up and they might you lead to the next Red Sox pitching staff.

Nick and Joe Jonas: Solo Siblings in L.A.
Their band has broken up for the time being and Joe and Nick Jonas enjoyed some time apart while out in Los Angeles on Tuesday (December 10).
The mustachio'd JoBro headed to the gym in an Adidas T-shirt, black shorts, and a black jacket while the youngest band member wore a plaid shirt and black pants while grabbing lunch to go.
Earlier this month, the 24-year-old musician caused quite a buzz with his revealing tell-all in New York magazine.
After all the commotion died down, Joe told Us Weekly, "I feel really relieved actually. I was very nervous releasing it. I hit kind of an anxiety wall where I was like, 'S--t am I about to do this? This is kind of nerve-wracking.' But then you just look at it on a different scale. You're like, 'This is my life and this is my story for myself to tell whoever is interested and let them inside the crazy life I've lived!'"

KCBD has discovered that the city has failed to repair at least three area fire hydrants within the mandated time frame of 48 to 72 hours.
Photographs taken on April 17 revealed three black-bagged fire hydrants. One was located at 42nd and Chicago Avenue, the second just around the corner at 43rd and Dover and a third one at 57th and Indiana.
KCBD shot video two weeks later on May 2 and found all three fire hydrants were still black bagged.
We went back again a full five weeks later on May 19 and saw that the City had still failed to repair the hydrants in a timely manner.
We wanted to know why these hydrants were not being monitored or repaired within 48 to 72 hours, especially since two of the hydrants were in close proximity.
"The three that are in question have no excuse, should have been taken care of within 48 to 72 hours," said Kevin Lair, Superintendent for the City of Lubbock's Street and Utility division.
KCBD requested the fire hydrant repair list to see just how many hydrants were recently out of service.
The list we obtained, dated May 3, revealed that a total of 155 fire hydrants were in need of repair.
The list indicates that the hydrant off 57th and Indiana has been out of service since March 28, weeks earlier than the photographs were taken. Lair said it was black-bagged because the valve needed to be replaced.
The other two hydrants were reported out of service on April 26.
Deputy Robert Loveless with the Lubbock Fire Marshal's office said the repair list starts to grow dramatically when springtime hits.
"They'll start turning in hydrants that may have been damaged through the winter that maybe no one looked at for several weeks and those will stop populating that list," Loveless said. "Out of that many thousand fire hydrants anything can happen overnight. Someone can run into one and not even know they did it."
The city asks that you report any fire hydrant that is believed to be out of service by calling 311. They have over 6,000 to maintain.

Lest anyone [re: city folk] think living in the country is all sweetness and light, let me disabuse those folk of that notion in one word: seed ticks.
Okay, it was two words. Sue me. But really, seed ticks are disgusting, horrible, nasty, annoying, and gross. Now, let me tell you how I really feel.
And we live in Tick Central. This is the Tick Ranch. Our main crop is, you guessed it, TICKS. It's just a fact of life in central NC.
What? You don't know what a seed tick is?
A seed tick is the larval stage of a tick. They sit in masses of hundreds, if not thousands, in grass, or maybe in some alternate tick dimension where they phase into existence just as one of the kids walks by. Innocently brushing said grass/inter-dimensional portal, hundreds of tiny, teeny seed ticks glom on and begin swarming up the leg or arm at near superluminal speeds. When you notice it, you look down and see this massing army of what looks like moving dirt spreading up your leg and generally what happens next is you freak the fuck out.
Here, look:
Can you see those little dots? Those are about a hundred baby ticks crawling across my hand and up my arm. This is actually a small tick bomb, as a big one can look like mud on your hand, the tick mass is so large. Can you believe I had the presence of mind to stop and take a picture before I washed those mother fuckers off? I can't.
When this happens, we call it a Tick Bomb, as in, "Mom! I just got tick bombed!"
If you don't get the ticks off, they bite in, leaving tiny, blister-like bites that itch for weeks, months even. Seed ticks supposedly are too small to spread Lyme Disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, so there is that in their favor I guess. I don't know—if someone introduced me as "At least she doesn't carry any major diseases," I don't think it would be a huge compliment. Just saying.
When we were looking at this land to buy, we hired a semi-realtor dude to come out and handle the paperwork for us. He came out to walk the land with us with the seller's realtor—I guess this is normal, like having your lawyer present or something. Anyway, we warned him about the ticks. We told him to take preventative measures. But he totally dismissed this and showed up in slacks and loafers. He later told me that no amount of money from the sale of that land could make up for the torture-by-itching that he experienced from all the tick bites he got on that walk.
So what ARE preventative measures? Well, some people use the chemical method, some people use the barrier method. For the ticks, I mean. For example, people try to keep the ticks away with tall boots, sprayed down with poisonous toxins. This can do all right, unless you get ticks on your arms. And if you spray your whole self, there you are, covered in poison. No thank you. Other people say to tuck in your clothes tightly, putting your pants into your socks, that sort of thing, in an attempt to keep the ticks on the clothes and off your skin. They they toss the clothes in the washer. But I've seen ticks come out of the washer alive (obviously they are the scourge of the earth, a mix of nuclear waste and the Undead), and one or two or ten always seem to get through anyway and bite you in the armpit, or along the elastic of your underwear. I HATE that.
Here's a weird one: I used to put a super thick layer of lotion or vaseline around my ankles. The ticks couldn't climb any higher than the lotion (they would get stuck in it) and I could just wash my feet after the walk and be done with it. I did this until one summer I got about 200 bites on my left foot and decided even localizing the torture wasn't good enough.
What to do?
The first thing is when you see this:
Don't Panic!
And the second thing to do is pull out some TAPE.
Because look:
Tape pulls those ticks right up! I've gotten tick bombed so bad at times that the tape has been wall-to-wall ticks. DISGUSTING! We NEVER go on walks in the woods around here without tape.
Look at what the macro feature on my camera does to that tape:
Can you see their evil little legs??? They are about the size of the head of a pin. Smaller. There have been a couple of times where we have been out on a walk and forgotten the tape. Someone gets bombed and we just run for the yurt, yelling. It's pretty funny. "Tick Bomb! ARRRGGGG!!!" We make a joke about it, to stave off the horror and panic. And I buy lots and lots of tape. It never hurts to have extra.
You can pop seed ticks between your fingernails if you're feeling vengeful, or you can burn the tape, maybe, and maybe do a little victory dance around the flames.
I knew a gal who lived a couple of miles from here who thought she had a spider infestation in her carpets—you could run your hand across the shag and a little hail of tiny bugs would spring up out of them. SEED TICKS. The exterminator was so grossed out he went home to take a shower. She was from the north and had never seen ticks before. Her dogs had brought them in. NASTY. Don't worry, every one lived. And they didn't even have to burn down the house.
Moral: don't give up walks in the beautiful woods. Don't live in fear! Just don't leave home without your tape.
Finally, although this post is about ticks, look at what a yellow jacket did to little Sophie's hand:
Poor baby! It swelled up so much she couldn't make a fist. Mean old yellow jacket.
There are a few advantages to living in town. Not getting Tick Bombed is one of them.
ETA: There is quite a discussion in the comments section on this post. Including a longish reply from me that talks about how to get them off, once they have bitten in. Scroll down to find it—look for the bold print if you don't want to read the other comments—especially if you're googling because you've got ticks on you and you are freaking out.
262 Responses to seed ticks: the devil's spawn
Tom says:
The reason that tick larva (aka seeds) do not contain or transmit diseases is because they have not had the opportunity to contract a disease yet. Ticks feed only once during three of their four life cycles (larva, nymph, & adult). It is during these feedings that ticks contract or transmit diseases. As a result the larvae that have latched onto you are attempting their first feed.
Miriam says:
Some pathogens can be transmitted transovarial though, which means from the mother to the egg and hence the larvae. But the percentage of larvae which get infected by the mother is very low
jan says:
windex spray will get them off and kill them. now if i could just find a cure for the itch i would be a happy camper
maya says:
sounds like the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding…
Dana says:
Thanks so much for the info as well as the giggles. My Yorkie always runs in to the field next door to do his business & go for a run with our Blue Tick (that's ironic). Several times I have found little poppy seed like bugs on my bed. I guess they have been on my dog long enough to feed & drop. I never see them on the dog, just the ones on my bed. your info has cleared up my confusion as to why the ticks are not on my dog but all over my bed.
Ardoe says:
I woke up this morning crawling with seed ticks on my face and in my hair. One of my kitties came in and decided to cuddle. He'd just come in from outside here in the Ozarks. I was in the showe before I was really awake! I don't like winter but am already longing for it!
Dudley Stamps says:
Itching Tick Bites!
My Doctor prescribed some Meloxicami/Lidocaine/topiramate Cream in a strength of 0.3/5/3 % mixture for my Chronic Back Pain. It is worthless for my back pain but I found it to be very beneficial for relieving the terrible Itching Pain for most any Insect bite, especially those Nasty worthless Ticks form Hel! I awoke a couple of days ago with one of those Low life SOB's on the tender web between one of my fingers! If I had not had this Lidocaine Cream I would have scratched and rubed my skin completely off! Get your Doctor to precribe some for you. You get 2 pump bottles of it with about the volume of an under arm deodorent container! This will be enough to last you and your Spouse for years for it only takes a very small amount to stop the Itching and it really works Great! It only last for about 30 minutes or so then you must apply more but I do not think I will ever be without any of it ever again!
Here in Georgia I pick off Hundreds of the large ticks year
and probably a Thousand of those Nasty Seed Ticks!
kathy lee says:
the tape is a winner i take duct tape and turn it inside out putting the sticky part on the outside. i tape this around my ankles, and as high as my calves. it acts like a fly paper of sorts. every tick chigger that brushes my legs get stuck to the tape and never make it to my skin.i dream of panty hose made of tape to put on and then peel the back off and expose the sticky. right noe my ankle look like i have a disease from the bites,where i went for a run on my trail and was out of duct tape. pepperment oil and cloves work great!!and are organic. thats what i spray on my yard and it doesn't kill the toads. it the vets best brand i get it at petco. seed ticks have almost caused me to sell my land and move back to the smokies where we never experienced very many ticks. in dunlap which is north of chattanooga, and some mountains in n.c are the perfect altitude for breeding ticks. i also get huge bags of canning cloves and sprinkle them heavily on my yard. when it rains it really smells nice!and the ticks will evacuate the area. my next feat is to grow mint and cloves all thru my woods. i also buy benadryl spray in a small pump bottle. this really works better than anything. except it puts me in a sleepy comatose state. another thing i do is soak in heavey hot epsom salt water . it draws the poison out of the bites. it is a daily war in august and september. i have pray to GOD, GOD you created these pests ,please tell me how to battle them, he then said grow the mint and cloves. which i am going to try. GOOD LUCK!!
Daniel says:
Red pin-sized bugs are chiggers not seed ticks!
Was recently tick-bombed so found my way to this page, but found someone in the comments referring to a "tick-bombing" by tiny red bugs. Chiggers!
barbie says:
another good way to quickly get rid of seed ticks and kill the little beggars at the same time is to rapidly rub your skin. The heat from the friction along with the physical action of rubbing takes care of them. Unfortunately doesn't work if they have gotten into your hair. I once had my two year old with seed ticks all over her scalp. Yikes!
Terrijo says:
Pure white vinegar…spray yourself…let it dry. After it air dries the itch will be gone. Just don't start scratching again
Becky C. says:
We just came back from a trip to the country to visit my husband's parents. We're used to doing tick checks, but not like this! My son totally got tick bombed! Poor guy itched so bad. I'm glad to know he shouldn't get sick. And for the itching? Essential oils! Mix lavender and malaleuca and rub on all the bite sites. You can add some baby oil or coconut oil to make it spread easier if you have a big area to cover. Within like 2 minutes he hardly itched AT ALL. Now I just have to fight off the heeby jeebies every time I get an itch for the next week. Blahahaugh!

Surys, standing, sitting to supta konasana, finishing. This has been my Go To practice for a while. I get bored with the butt balancers and the lying down one-let-at-a-time poses (can't think of the name), I know I know I'm lazy. I get to that butt-in-the-air spread-legged pose and then I'm done, I don't want to do any more. Finishing. It's not so bad, a pretty good practice. But I still feel guilty, leaving those last few off.

Full Primary in the Noah House. We finally got it de-molded and I can go back in without having an asthma attack. I dunno, it just got crazy moldy last summer and then sat all winter (because it isn't heated). It took this long for us to get to it and finally I'm back in my yoga/writing studio, yay!

Put Your Money Where Your Politics Are
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This post, written by Ilana Goldman, originally appeared on The Huffington Post
With Presidential primaries eight months away, candidates have been aggressively pursuing women donors: Hillary Clinton has hosted women-targeted fundraising events from coast to coast; not to be outdone, Barack Obama's wife Michelle has launched a "Women for Obama" initiative. And Elizabeth Edwards has already established her own strong women's following to support her husband's run for office.
These campaigns are all on the right track. Women donors -- and could-be donors -- are an enormous resource that has only begun to be tapped. But while the potential to raise money from women is enormous, there are also challenges, according to a new study my organization released earlier this week that examined trends in women's political giving. Raising women's giving and influence as political donors will require a new awareness among women and political fundraisers alike.
Women have yet to reach their potential as donors; while they are a majority of voters, they contributed only 29% of political donations to candidates in the 2006 elections. The Washington Post recently reported that women made up roughly 36 percent of Clinton's total contributions and about 30 percent of Obama's. And while women make up a significant percentage of small donors, they account for just over a quarter of large contributions of $1,000 or more (single or combined) -- a statistic that hasn't changed in a decade.
What accounts for this "gender gap" in political donations? It's not that women don't have the means to give: women today control half the nation's wealth and are responsible for more than $7 trillion in consumer and business spending. Nor can it be said that women don't care about political issues and the future of the country. We do. We vote in greater numbers than men. We also volunteer as much or more in our communities. And when it comes to giving to charitable causes, women give to twice as many organizations as men.
Yet women's political passion isn't translating to political giving. It should.
For better or worse, fundraising dollars today can make or break a campaign. A candidate's full coffers allow them to speak to the voters directly, whether it's a few hundred dollars invested in flyers for the local town council election or millions spent in TV ad dollars for a hotly contested Senate seat. How much money candidates raise can determine how effectively they get their message and priorities out to us, the voters.
Ilana Goldman is president of Women's Campaign Forum (WCF). WCF is a nonpartisan 501(c)(4) membership organization dedicated to ensuring that pro-choice women become leaders in politics. WCF proudly recruits women to become active participants in public life, trains women to be more effective political forces and endorses talented women candidates for public office. As a membership organization with a sister foundation and affiliated Political Action Committee, WCF has deep capacity to support the public leadership of women nationwide.

I go to sleep without any trouble at all, but wake up a few hours later with pain in the tops and bottom of my legs. The pain is on the side that I am lying on so I have to turn over, but then an hour later I wake up again with pain on the other side (that I am now lying on). This continues until the morning. I don't ever recall having leg soreness while lying down when I was pregnant with my daughter. Anyone else have this and any suggestions for some relief?
Anyone have sore legs(not cramping) while sleeping at night?

By LORI A. CARTER
A planned project to rebuild a Highway 101 interchange in north Petaluma remains in limbo as the city and state dispute whether the city can pay its share with former redevelopment dollars.
The $42.5 million budgeted for the Old Redwood Highway interchange includes about $15 million from Petaluma redevelopment funds – and 80 percent of it has been disqualified by the state Department of Finance.
Petaluma is appealing, but so far has received no response from the state, said Ingrid Alverde, the city's economic development director.
When the Legislature abolished redevelopment agencies throughout the state last year, it required agencies to submit lists of contracted projects, creating so-called "enforceable obligations." Those projects would be allowed to keep redevelopment money already committed while other funds would be redistributed to help balance the state budget and to other taxing entities in the county.
In Petaluma, the Old Redwood Highway redesign was identified as a redevelopment priority in 2003. The city and the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, which administers local transportation tax money, signed cooperative agreements in May 2010 to fund environmental review, design and construction.
In addition to Petaluma's portion, other funding includes $21.4 million in Measure M county sales tax proceeds and $4.6 million in state funds, said Suzanne Smith, SCTA executive director.
The project is set to go to bid in September or October.
However, the state has identified the planned use of redevelopment money as not being an "enforceable obligation." If the state disallows Petaluma's plan, there is no other funding source.
"That could jeopardize the project," said Councilman Mike Healy, the city's representative on the redevelopment oversight board that is winding down the agency's funding obligations.
Petaluma Mayor David Glass said he thinks the state will eventually agree with Petaluma's contention that the agreement is a valid contract.
"We should prevail on those," he said. "In my gut, I'll be shocked, once they see where everything is."
It's unclear what the state Department of Finance objects to, although Smith said it may be that the state doesn't see intergovernmental agreements as contracts.
Smith agreements were in place well before the state began talking about taking redevelopment funds from cities for its use.
"It is absolutely crazy to think that we don't have a contract in place committing those funds," she said. "We absolutely did."
The joke in Sacramento, Healy said, is that once local agencies heard the state wanted to take redevelopment money, they ran around committing funds to anything and everything.
"They call it Mardi Gras," he said.
But the Old Redwood Highway funding isn't like that, he said.
"That's been on the books and planned for a significant period of time," he said. "I think any reasonable person would conclude it was planned."
Glass is meeting with state Sen. Lois Wolk this week to receive an update on new legislation that may clarify redevelopment obligations. He said he will continue to defend the Old Redwood Highway plan as a valid redevelopment project.
"It's not a swimming pool, it's not a sports stadium," he said. "It's Highway 101 and we're spending our redevelopment dollars for what the state should have done a long a time ago."
@election delicacy – you said it
CalTrans has gone on record as opposing the Rainier Ave. crosstown connector. They questioned the legality of the Deer Creek Plaza EIR because of it's inclusion of Rainier in its traffic study. The City of Petaluma (well Healy with support of his cohorts on the council) are playing chicken with CalTrans. Unless they quit now and give up on Rainier, the only question will be "how bad will Petaluma lose here".
Some political twits (Healy? Kearny? Chamber of Commerce? Rob Muelrath? Herb Williams? Police or Fire unions?) are doing a robo-call poll in Petaluma, asking people if they'd prefer to trade the money allocated for the Old Redwood Highway/101 interchange improvements for doing work on Rainier instead.
They forgot to mention in the polling question that that is illegal and not possible. The money allocated for Old Redwood interchange cannot be legally shifted to another project just because their hot-button push polls lead people to believe it can be. In addition, the work at Old Redwood interchange is already approved with design contracts already in place.
Rainier remains unapproved, undesigned, and most importantly, unfunded, because the people who have wanted this never wanted to pay for it, and never saved enough money for it over the past 25 years. No redevelopment money for this white elephant.
This is polling by and for idiots. Fortunately, voters do learn to ignore them.

Take a cultural tour of Canterbury.
What better way to start your day with a visit to Canterbury Cathedral, a World Heritage Site and one of the worlds most important pilgrimage centres. The Cathedral dates back to 597AD when St Augustine became the first Archbishop establishing his seat in Canterbury. You will see where its most famous Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170 and view the numerous tombs and monuments including those of Edward the Black Prince and King Henry IV. Marvel at one of the cathedrals greatest glories; the stained glass collection which dates back to the 12th and 13th century, depicting miracles, royal connections and biblical stories and regarded as the finest in the country.

In the wake of an investigation into a Richland School District One program, the former supervisor filed a defamation lawsuit against the school district and Superintendent Percy Mack.
Donna Hammett, who worked as the Office of Advanced Academic Programs coordinator, said in a lawsuit that she was forced into retirement after being placed on paid leave April 29. Hammett has worked with Richland One for more than 35 years.
According to court documents, Hammett said she had no knowledge that her former secretary Peggy Mattie was forging Hammett's signature on her timesheets to receive overtime compensation that she didn't earn. Hammett said that she "fully cooperated with the District in every aspect during their investigation and answered every question truthfully," the lawsuit said.
Mattie was confronted by District employees after officials said she was signing Hammett's name on her timesheets, resulting in at least $35,000 in compensation dating back to 2008, according to a Columbia Police incident report. Mattie was terminated March 20, and Columbia Police are investigating the allegations. Mattie has not been charged.
The plaintiff said Mack told her she didn't have anything to be concerned about in regards to the investigation.
However, the lawsuit said the District's Chief of Teaching and Learning Regina Thompson said that Mack said, "(Hammett) can say whatever she wants and go down with her." Thompson retracted her statement after Hammett said she wasn't involved in any wrongdoing. It was after that Hammett was asked to put together a list of the duties that would've required Mattie to have overtime.
Later, Hammett was placed on paid leave. It was at that time she said she felt "coerced into doing so because she felt she was being scapegoated," the lawsuit stated. Hammett then turned in her retirement notice to Mack.
The lawsuit alleges that "the timing of the plaintiff's notification of being placed on administrative leave was intentionally calculated to create the appearance the plaintiff was responsible or connected to the claims of fraud investigated by the District." It is also assumed that the District made the community and Hammett's co-workers believe the same, the court documents said.
Hammett is requesting a jury trial.
Richland One spokeswoman Karen York previously told WIS that five employees worked in this office, but now, four of those employees are no longer employed with the school district.
Richland One has no comment regarding the lawsuit. WIS requested more information about the employees in this department. This report will be updated as information becomes available.
