Three REITs to Consider and Two to Avoid
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I like to examine the portfolios of mutual funds to get new investing ideas. With the recent sell off in dividend paying stocks, I thought I might look at a real estate focused fund. My choice was Lazard U.S. Realty Income Fund (LRIOX). The fund is a top performer over its relatively short history. A few names that stood out for me where high-yielding Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR), technology focused Mission West Properties (Nasdaq: MSW) and Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR), student housing specialist Campus Crest Communities (NYSE: CCG), and triple net lease giant Realty Income Fund (NYSE: O), which I happen to own.
Rebuilding America
Whitestone REIT focuses on what it calls Community Centered Properties, which it defines as "visibly located properties in established or developing culturally diverse neighborhoods." It focuses its efforts on Arizona and Texas, two states that have done reasonably well despite the recession. It generally buys properties that have been neglected in some way and then strives to re-develop them to increase their value. Management pays particular attention to the local communities in its re-development efforts, often focusing on smaller, service-oriented tenants. It is a very small REIT, but it has a very large dividend yield of around 9%. That dividend, by the way, is paid monthly. For a deeper review of Whitestone, you can read my previous article on this high-yielding REIT.
Technology Real Estate?
Digital Realty Trust stood out because of its $7 billion market cap and unique focus. With a yield around 4.5%, it isn't the most appropriate for income seeking investors. However, with a property portfolio filled with technology related buildings, it might interest more growth minded investors seeking to add a little more diversity to their portfolios.
At the end of 2011, it owned over 100 properties, with most located in the United States, a fair number in Europe, and one in Asia. So in addition to asset class diversification, Digital Realty also offers global diversification. It focuses on internet gateway datacenters, corporate datacenters, technology manufacturing properties, and regional or national offices of technology companies. The company's dividend has been on an upward trajectory, which is nice to see. Moreover, the company looks set to benefit from the shift to so-called cloud computing.
Another digitally focused REIT that I noted in the portfolio was Mission West Properties. This is a much smaller REIT that offers a yield over a full percentage point higher than Digital Realty's. Mission West's focus is on commercial research and development properties located in the Silicon Valley portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. It owns about 100 properties, too. Although the yield is more enticing, the dividend has been on a general decline for several years. Income focused investors would be better off avoiding this one.
College Days
With a yield of nearly 6%, Campus Crest Communities focuses on student housing. The company only came public in late 2010, so it doesn't have much history as a public company. However, in 2005, about when it was founded, it had just one property and now it has almost 40 spread across the United States. If management can continue to grow the portfolio like that, it is likely that the dividend will follow.
Considering the number of colleges in this country and the small number of properties that Campus Crest currently owns, it isn't a stretch to think that the REIT has plenty of opportunities to expand. Moreover, with a college diploma becoming ever more important for young workers, it is easy to see where Campus Crest's focus will be supportive of growth for years to come. With a decent yield, income focused investors should take a look.
Triple Net Lease Giant
The last company that caught my eye is one I own, Realty Income Fund. The company owns a massive and diverse portfolio of triple net lease properties. Generally single tenant buildings, they are called triple net lease because the tenant is responsible for taking care of the building. This property class tends to be fairly stable, though rental growth can be slow.
Realty Income Fund is a great company with a generally conservative management team. It pays a monthly dividend that has been increased yearly for an enviably long time. During the 2007 to 2009 recession, the REIT was yielding 10%. Today it's yielding less than half of that. Clearly it has had a nice run. While the company is well worth owning, income investors should wait for a pull back.

Shayne Skov
There has been much talk this offseason about how the Vikings need to address the linebacker position. I agree with this and think that besides Quarterback, it is our biggest need. I refuse to try and evaluate Quarterbacks, however, because there are too many factors that go into a good Quarterback. Every other position, I love to evaluate. I have spent quite a bit of time over the last year watching Stanford Cardinal games, and game film after the season ended. The Cardinal Defense was the strong side of the team this year, allowing 18.6 points per game and less than 90 yards rushing. The player on this defense that stood out to me the most was linebacker Shayne Skov.
· Coming in at 6'3 and weighing 245 pounds Skov is almost perfect size for an NFL linebacker.
· He is a 5th year senior who played as a true freshman, as a sophomore, but then suffered a terrible leg injury at the beginning of his junior year.
· Skov tore his ACL, MCL, and broke his tibia, and was able to injury red shirt that year.
· Skov lists his home town as Guadalajara, Mexico, but went to high school in New York.
· He came out of high school listed as the 45th best recruit in the nation by Rivals.com
· This last season Skov finished with 109 total tackles, 13 TFL, 5.5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles.
· He was all PAC-12 at Inside Linebacker and a second team all American.
Skov was a very good leader and player for one of the top defenses. Many scouts have him ranked as a second to early third rounder, and I think he would be an excellent pick for the Vikings. Skov is very good against the run because he has quick feet to weave between blockers, but power to fight off blocks from offensive linemen when needed. There are many times that Skov found himself one on one in space with a ball carrier and was able to make a tackle in open space. It may not have always been pretty, but the tackle was made. Skov knows how to approach offensive lineman well with his arms extended out and is very good at using his hands. He has a very good head on his shoulders and is a student of the game as he was known for watching a lot of film and knowing tendencies of opposing offenses. Skov also has a lankier frame and can cover a lot of ground in coverage. He is definitely not a liability against the pass and he times his blitzes well. I think Skov could come in and compete for a starting spot and linebacker, (preferably inside, but I think he has the versatility to play a Sam or Will backer). Also I think he could be a key piece to a new regime of young defensive players under Mike Zimmer.
Some of the knocks and criticisms of Skov are that he is not an elite athlete and lacks top level speed, but these issues will either be put off or shown at the combine. Injury concerns are also there for Skov but he has only had one major injury in his career as a junior. Another is that when he tackles it is sometimes at the upper half of the body, sometimes hitting the head of the ball carrier which might draw penalties at the next level. He also sometimes does not breakdown in space and could end up being juked out of his shoes by some in the NFL. All in all I see Skov as a top linebacker prospect in this coming NFL draft and would be happy if we took him with our second round pick, and would be ecstatic if he lasted to the third.
I encourage all of you to visit Draftbreakdown.com and look at some videos on Shayne Skov, and see if you agree with my assessment of him.
(On a side note, Skov is an avid twitter user and it seems that he has a strange obsession with Pokemon, he is also an extreme gamer in his spare time. Very passionate guy about his beliefs.)

New albums by Foals, Doldrums & Trichotomy reviewed
Updated 3:09pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in News By Daniel Orr, Reporter
FOALS - Holy Fire
I WAS pleasantly surprised by what I found upon listening to Foals latest offering, Holy Fire.
The Oxford indie five-piece deliver on their early promise on this their third album, which shakes and grooves in all the right places.
Standout track is Bad Habit, which bears more than a passing resemblence to Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition, and is all the better for it. This is an early contender for album of the year.
DOLDRUMS - Lesser Evil
BEST mates with breakthrough Canadian teenager Grimes, Doldrums mixes indie melodies with dance beats to great effect.
This haunting and hypnotic debut album will appeal to fans of his aforementioned friend as well as Aphex Twin and Orbital enthusiasts.
Packed with melancholic vocals and sounds which resemble transmissions from outer space, this CD makes Doldrums stand out as an inventive and thoughtful artist.
TRICHOTOMY - Fact Finding Missions
IT IS fair to say that piano trios are few and far between, but this popular Australian act prove that there is a market for them.
Trichotomy have carved out a reputation as one of the most exciting modern jazz bands in the world right now.
And this vibrant album, which shifts between instrumental and lyrical pieces, showcases why.

Clearasil Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream:
Clearasil Daily Clear Vanish Acne Treatment Cream is an over-the-counter treatment product that helps treat mild to moderate acne breakouts. It's a leave-on product, so you just apply the cream to a clean face and you're done.
According to package directions, it can be used one to three times per day (I'd recommend starting off just once a day, to lessen the chance of super dry, irritated skin.)
Active Ingredient:
Inactive Ingredients:
Where You Can Buy:
- The Clearasil brand is carried nearly everywhere, so it will be easy to find this product.
- It contains the highest percentage of benzoyl peroxide available over the counter.
- A small dab will cover a fair amount of skin.
- The cream is very thick and a little sticky.
- It continues to feel sticky for a few minutes, until it's fully dry.
- It's a bit expensive for the amount of cream you actually get.
Clearasil Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream Review:
Ahh, Clearasil. Yes, it's the quintessential acne treatment.
There are tons of different products in the Clearasil line, with Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream being one of them. This is a benzoyl peroxide treatment cream. You don't wash it off. Instead, it's applied over the entire face in a thin layer and left to dry.
It's important to remember that this is not a spot treatment product, so you don't just dot it on existing pimples. It's a treatment lotion, so you apply it almost like you would a moisturizer and apply it over the entire face. By using it this way the medication can help treat the pimples you have, and also keep new ones from popping up. Because that's what we ultimately want, right? No more new pimples.
And though you apply it like a moisturizer, it's not a moisturizing cream. You shouldn't use it in place of your typical moisturizing lotion, but you can use it along with your moisturizer. Apply your moisturizer first, let it fully absorb for a few minutes, and then put the Clearasil Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream over the top. This will help reduce any dryness that the medication might cause too.
This Clearasil cream, when it's fresh out of the tube, is white but it dries clear and basically disappears into the skin (hence, the "vanishing.") The cream is also thick... extremely thick. Like toothpaste.
Every time I used it, I couldn't get over how sticky it felt. The stickiness did disappear after the cream dried, but I didn't particularly care for the consistency.
The good news is a little bit does go a long way. It spreads, if not easily, then far. Just a small dab is enough for half the face.
And, I know $6 isn't much, so am I cheap for thinking it's a lot for one tube? I'd go through a tube in about three weeks, just using it once a day. For a few dollars more, I could get a complete skin care kit with a cleanser, toner, and treatment lotion (something like AcneFree) and get more than just one ounce of product.
But the Clearasil Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream does have the highest percentage of benzoyl peroxide you can get over the counter. But a stronger cream can mean more side effects, so start off slowly with this one.
All benzoyl peroxide products can bleach clothes, towels, and the like, so don't get your cream on any of these (that means no wiping the extra off your hands onto a towel!) Once it's dry, you typically don't have to worry. But I've still had benzoyl peroxide cream bleach out my pillowcase, even after the cream was completely dry, so a white pillowcase may be a good idea anyway.
Clearasil Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream is a fair choice for your over-the-counter acne treatment routine. You may like it even better if you prefer a treatment cream with more body. But, as always, if you're seeing a dermatologist about your acne you'll want to get an OK before you try this product.

Countdown to Blue Wahoo's 2013 Start
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- We are counting down until the Blue Wahoos' big opening day and they are busy making sure everything is ready for when the boys step on the field.
They are doing construction up until the very last minute. The opening day for the Blue Wahoos is just days away!
When you walk in the stadium you will notice some new things including this brand new party deck. They're rushing to make sure its finished in time.
"I'm a party person man, I'm an old beach bum, I like to party," said Jake Dowling.
Dowling and others will be right at home at the Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Party Deck. It can hold more than 150 people. The Wahoos added it because there wasn't enough room on the two other decks.
Dowling has been to a lot of stadiums but never one like the Wahoos stadium. "I used to go to Fenway Park, sneak in, climb billboards, this is great. It's laid back you have good ball players. It's the best thing that's happened in this city," he said.
The new party deck isn't the only change. They are taking down the sign for Mulroys and replacing it with the "Off the Hook" Oyster Bar. You can still get "typical" baseball food, but the new restaurant will serve craft beers, shuck oysters and offer fish and grits.
The goal of the new party deck and oyster bar is to not make it not just a baseball game but a complete experience.
All three party decks are completely sold out for the first five games.
The Blue Wahoos will hold workouts on Tuesday, April 2 and Wednesday, April 3 at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. Both workouts are free and open to the public. Tuesday's practice will be at 1:00 p.m., Wednesday's is at 6:00 p.m. Fans and media are invited to attend. Concession stands will offer limited menu items.

Revision of Urban HEART
More than a billion people have been added to urban areas since 2000. Ninety percent of this rise has taken place in developing countries. By 2050, it is estimated that 6.4 billion people will live in urban areas with nearly 2 billion living in slums. Inequities in wealth, health, and access to resources will continue to be a key concern in urban areas.
Till date, the WHO Kobe Centre has worked with cities from 40 countries to implement the Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART). The Centre has also documented experiences on using Urban HEART including the recent publication of two journal papers in 2014.
At present, the Centre is focused on revising Urban HEART based on feedback from city experiences, expert recommendations, and independent evaluations. The Centre would like to invite all who have used Urban HEART in any capacity to share their ideas and suggestions for revising the tool.
WKC Forum: Innovation for Ageing Populations – Enhancing adherence: medication and nutrition
1 October 2014
In commemoration of the UN International Day of Older Persons celebrated every year on 1 October, the WHO Kobe Centre will organize an open forum on "Innovation for Ageing Populations – Enhancing adherence: medication and nutrition" in Kobe.
A patient's therapeutic behaviours used to be judged passively based on the concept of "compliance" – how closely a patient follows the treatment prescribed by a doctor. Today, more important to supporting treatment success depends on the extent to which a person's behaviour – taking medication, following a diet, and/or executing lifestyle changes – corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider. This is the concept of "adherence". Adherence to therapies is a primary determinant of treatment success.
In this forum, Japanese experts in the field of gerontology, medication, and nutrition, will present their work to enhance adherence which can contribute to healthy ageing.
WKC at the 12th IFA Global Conference on Ageing
10-13 June 2014, Hyderabad, India

Grown up music: an interview with rapper Jahi
by Minister of Information JR
"George and I" is Jahi and producer Korise' Big Tunes' newest creation where Jahi is rhyming to Korise's George Benson remake tracks. It's hot and innovative. I haven't heard a dedication/concept album like this. It feels good to be hearing these guys push Bay Area hip hop to new limits. Now listen to Jahi in his own words …
M.O.I. JR: How did you hook up with Big Tunes to create the "George and I" album? Why did y'all remix the music of George Benson?
Jahi: First of all, JR, we are sending you good energy as you deal with what you have to deal with. I remember years ago you and the Bay View was one of the first papers to show me some love, so I want to give that back on the record first. Now to the questions.
It happened organically. I was working on my "Less Is More" album, and we used that Windsong joint by George Benson, and I got Gift of Gab to come in and bless the track. Korise always wanted to do it, and I have great childhood memories growing up listening to George Benson, so the idea was planted. It wasn't until February, when Korise and I hooked up, and we did a song called "Warm It Up" – out of that conversation we decided to do it. We did the whole project during Black History Month.
Oh, and by the way, we updated the song "Explore" I did with Gift of Gab. It now features Grammy Award winner Speech from Arrested Development. I sent him the track in the spirit of sharing good music and he said he had to get on it. I felt like that was the spirit telling us it was a divine thing that we came together for this project.
M.O.I. JR: How did you decide what George Benson tracks y'all would remake?
Jahi: Korise handled the selection of tracks, and I did the writing. I knew I wanted to do "Give Me the Night" and flip it into "Give Me the MYC." What's deep about this project is that instead of sitting down with the track, and trying to write on a few ideas … this time all I had to do was sit and listen to the stillness of my own soul. The words were already there in the muse – an incredible experience – and growth came out of that for me personally and as an emcee always looking to raise the bar.
M.O.I. JR: How has the response been to the album thus far?
Jahi: You know, the folks who've got a chance to get a free copy we've been passing out, or downloading the album have had nothing but good things to say. Honestly, this was for us as artist and producer first, and then the people.
Nowadays I treat being an emcee just like a farmer. My lyrics are the seeds; the music is the fertile ground. As long as we treat what we do and the music with integrity, I think this is the greatest success we could ever have. Hopefully you picking up on it will help folks to know it's out there. We both feel like it's the perfect summer record for grown people who want to hear substance over cool music instead of the same ol' same.
M.O.I. JR: Now that music consumers aren't buying cds as much, how will that change the local music industry? the international music industry?
Jahi: People are still buying music. We are blessed to have Amoeba and Rasputin record stores. There are some of us still out there all over the world who still appreciate actually buying good music, opening the CD, reading the credits and enjoying that experience. Do I still get free music on the computer? Yes, but if it's something that really is good, I make sure I go out and actually buy the CD. There are people still doing this all over the world.
In terms of the music industry, man, I really don't have a comment on the local or international music industry. For me, at the end of the day, it's about making good music first. Over 50 percent of what's happening in the music industry doesn't resonate with me. I heard Prince say on a record, how can a non-musician speak about the music except from a consumer's point of view. I think that's a really deep statement. I think the industry is the industry, but making good music that people can appreciate 20 years from now is what I'm working on. I maneuver through this industry like Christ – in it but not of it.
M.O.I. JR: When will y'all be performing music off of this record around the country?
Jahi: We'll have to see. Hopefully we'll be doing Art and Soul this summer and we'll do the whole project top to bottom. Honestly we only will do this live if the whole situation is right and we have a full band so people can really get the whole experience. Again, if no one ever sees it live, we just want people to get the music and enjoy what we tried to put together.
M.O.I. JR: How can people hear some of the tracks or buy the tracks online?

Again, this is copied/pasted from my blog. I know some people here read it, but I thought I'd save some time and effort by just posting this here. Enjoy!!
Clinton Lumberkings starter Ryan Tatusko (shown below this paragraph) breezed through six innings against a tough Cedar Rapids team. The Kernels had put up more than 580 runs throughout the season, but Tatusko held them scoreless and virtually off the base paths for the first two-thirds of Sunday's game. Then, the wheels came off in the 7th. Kernels' Hector Estrella earned a lead-off walk and advanced to third on a Julio Perez single. A pass ball allowed Estrella to score while Perez moved to third. Perez scored on a Gabe Jacobo single, which was followed by two fielders' choices and a single before Tatusko recorded the third out.HR) and Andres James (1B). Andres James had an amazing single in his first at bat when he legged out an infield hit. That kid has some wheels. Outfielders Engel Beltre and Tim Murphy showed off their powerful arms. They didn't record any outs that way, but their tosses held a few runners 90 feet shorter than the Kernels wanted. I don't know how to describe Justin Smoak's HR (photo below), except to say that I knew it was gone right off the bat. And it went out at the deepest part of the park -- left center field over a sign that said 407. It was beautiful.
KISS: Ryan Tatusko and Ryan Turner, who teamed up to hold the Kernels to just two runs. Tatusko surrendered both runs on five hits, one walk and five Ks over seven innings. At least three of Tatusko's Ks came on his change-up. Turner notched two Ks and gave up just one hit in one inning of work.
MISS: Jose Felix and Engel Beltre were both 0 for 4, but Felix hit into a double play and was responsible for the pass ball that allowed the Kernels to score.
Veterans Memorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids gets a big thumbs up from me. It's fairly easy to find (although streets need better markings). It's super clean. The concessions are reasonable and yummy. The staff was unbelievably friendly and efficient. Parking was great. The grounds were beautiful (especially considering the early summer floods). I would love to go back there to watch a game. I have just one minor league park in Iowa yet to visit -- Burlington -- and I will try to make it there next summer.

Staff accomplishments for November 13, 2012.
Olha Aleksic
Olha Aleksic, Petro Jacyk Bibliographer for Ukrainian Collections, presented "Ukrainian Collections at Harvard University" at the Second Annual Conference of Ukrainian Museums, Libraries and Archives in Stamford, CT in September. The participants of the conference shared their experiences in museum and archival management, fundraising, website design and digitization of library material—and agreed on collective plans for a new consortium of Ukrainian heritage organizations.
Aleksic has been at Harvard since 2002, currently working both at the Ukrainian Research Institute Library and Slavic Division of Widener Library. She holds an MTS from Harvard Divinity School and an MSLIS from Simmons College.
Tessa Beers
Tessa Beers, processing archivist for Baker Library Special Collections, presented a poster titled "Outsource vs. DIY: Straddling the Border Between Using Vendors and In-House Data Extraction" at the Research Forum at the Society of American Archivists' annual meeting in San Diego in August. The poster outlined the library's decision-making process in choosing between contracting an appropriate vendor to extract data stored on floppy disks, investing in the hardware and software required to establish a forensic workstation or a combination of both. It also explained the reasons behind the library's chosen option of creating an in-house digital forensic workstation and the workflow process of data extraction from the disks.
Beers has worked for the Harvard Library for one year. She holds an MSLS from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BA in history from the University of Georgia.
Randy Stern
Randy Stern, manager of systems development in Library Technology Services, was on the organizing committee for Code4Lib New England held on October 26 and 27 at Yale University's Sterling Memorial Library. The conference brought together approximately 80 library technologists and library staff—eight of whom were from Harvard. The meeting included 11 talks and a panel discussion on issues in digital preservation, and, on the second day, an "unconference" on a variety of topics.
Stern has worked for the Harvard Library for eight years. He holds a BS in mathematics and computer science from Stony Brook University and an MS in electrical engineering /computer science from MIT.
David Weinberger
David Weinberger, co-director of Harvard's Library Innovation Lab and senior researcher at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, received two international "best of year" awards for his recent book Too Big to Know—the getAbstract International Book of the Year award and the World Technology Award in the field of media and journalism. The World Technology Awards are decided through a peer-review selection process involving WTN Fellows from more than 60 countries.
Weinberger holds a BA from Bucknell University and a PhD in philosophy from the University of Toronto. He has been a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society since 1994.

NWC CHAMPIONSHIP: Bruins Improve but Still Finish 8th in Season's Final Tournament
KENNEWICK, Wash. - Although they were one of only three teams to shave a few strokes from their first day's score, the George Fox University Bruins remained in eighth place out of nine teams as the 2012 Northwest Conference Men's Golf Championship Tournament came to a conclusion Sunday here at the Canyon Lakes Golf Course.
The Bruins cut their second-day score from 325 on Saturday to 320, finishing with a total four-player team score of 645 on the par-72, 6,683-yard course. Linfield College hung onto its first-day lead and won the tournament by three strokes with a final score of 293-303=596 to Whitworth University's 298-301=599. The University of Puget Sound took third with a 303-303=606, followed by Pacific Lutheran University with a 303-311=614, Pacific University with a 311-312=623, Whitman College with a 319-313=632, Willamette University with a 314-320=634, George Fox, and Lewis & Clark College with a 376-364=740.
The Bruins' best scorer for the tournament was Chris Lumsden, who carded a 79-78=157 to finish 24th on the leader board. George Fox's first-day leader, Aleks Gabrio, shot a 76-84=160 to tie for 27th. Mike Ulstad had the largest one-day improvement of any golfer in the tournament, bringing his score down 14 strokes from an 89 to a 75 on Sunday, the seventh-best score of the day, to finish tied for 34th with a 164.
Also scoring for the Bruins on Sunday was Kyle Wilson with a final count of 83-83=166, placing him 37th. Tyler Dyck rounded out the Bruin fivesome with an 87-84=171, tying for 38th.
Alex Fitch of Linfield followed up his round of 68 on Saturday with a 74 on Sunday to finish with a final of two-under 142, claiming medalist honors. He was the only player to finish the tournament under par. Nick Kelly of Puget Sound rallied to a runner-up finish with a score of 73-73=147, while Dustin Hegge of Pacific Lutheran totaled 69-79=148 to finish third.
Based on his top-three finishes in the three major Northwest Conference tournaments throughout the year (the Fall Classic, Spring Classic, and NWC Championship Tournament), Hegge earned NWC Player of the Year honors. He is joined on the All-NWC First Team by Fitch, Jesse Salzwedel of Whitworth, Kelly, Scott Martin of Whitman, and Taylor Kopp of Linfield.
With its team victory in the final tournament, Linfield secured the overall league championship and earned the NWC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III National Tournament for the second year in a row. Based on an accumulated point total over the course of the fall and spring, the Wildcats finished with 31 points, while Whitworth jumped to second place in the final team standings with 25 points, one point ahead of Puget Sound. Whitman and Pacific Lutheran tied for fourth with 19 points, Pacific was sixth with 10, George Fox and Willamette tied for seventh with eight, and Lewis & Clark was ninth with zero points.
Complete results of the NWC Championship Tournament, courtesy of the Whitworth sports information office, are available on the George Fox men's golf web site at http://athletics.georgefox.edu/sports/mgolf/2011-12/files/0421.htm.

Lee Stempniak has agreed to a two-year deal, worth $5 million with the Calgary Flames, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports. The right winger's two-year deal that he signed with the Phoenix Coyotes before being traded to Calgary would have come to an end on July 1, making him an unrestricted free agent.
CGY agrees to terms with Lee Stempniak on a 2 year deal worth $2.5M per year.— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 29, 2012
Stempniak notched 14 goals and 14 assists last season for the Flames for 28 points, a three-year low. He has struggled with consistency throughout the career, but for the price he provides some decent depth. Stempniak played in 61 games last season due to a high ankle sprain.
Stempniak has played with four different NHL franchises since joining the league in 2005.

1. How many volunteers, environmentalists, etc. in your
organization are working on the conservation project
in the Amazon rainforest currently?
Staff-12, volunteers-10-50
2. Can you tell us about some of the current or upcoming
conservation projects that your organization is involved
Tree planting and Reforestation- This joint project focuses
on restoration ecology. ACEER and IIAP will support efforts
leading to reforestation and mitigating of disturbed forest
ecosystems, especially regions impacted by roads and
legal/illegal logging in areas of high biodiversity. ACEER
and IIAP will work to identify reforestation sites, purchase
appropriate plant stock and support planting and maintenance
of the sites; IIAP serves as our partner on the ground providing
expertise on proper plant selection and cultivation. ACEER will
use sites for education and research purposes, especially for
Peruvian university students; and would like to bring school
children, international students (through our workshop
programs), and ecotourists to the sites to promote our
3. What do you think are the biggest challenges/restraints your
organization is facing with respect to the conservation of the
Amazon rainforest?
Economic development in the region, needs of developing
countries, lack of focus on sustainable use, and fundraising
to provide funds for our programs.
4. How important do you think community involvement is in
assisting your organization in conservation efforts?
Absolutely 100% community involvement is needed. Programs
are not successful without this. ACEER focuses on working with
and in local communities, and uses local staff.
5. In what ways can youths be effectively engaged in
Youth who do not live in the Amazon region can learn, become
aware of the issues, and the interconnections-the Amazon
region is needed for the health of our whole planet. Learn
about it, talk about it, raise awareness. Start programs at
school or in your communities to encourage good actions,
actions that help protect the planet. Fundraise for
organizations that work in these fields. Kids do walkathons,
sell reusable shopping bags, arrange puppet shows, tell
stories, to then donate funds.
I thank you in advance for your support and we would like to hear from you soon.

Trying to Achieve Balance Against Great Odds
With the United States's opposition to Kyoto so strong, a Canadian journalist finds little pressure from editors to include that perspective in his stories.
By Jacques A. Rivard
For more than 20 years, I've covered the environment for Société Radio-Canada, the French arm of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's national TV news. As journalists do, I've tried to apply the "balanced coverage" rule to my reporting, just as I have taught my students in journalism at the Université de Montréal for two decades. But my attempts to do this don't always work.
Sometimes daily news coverage with limited time to tell a story has not allowed for multiple points of view to be presented, and follow-up stories I might propose, to provide such balance, were often hard to persuade my editors to do. But when it has come to reporting on topics such as global warming or climate change, I think being in Canada has made it easier for me to do this than for reporters in the United States, since there are fewer pressure groups in Canada working against ecological actions.
In 1992, I was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when countries from throughout the world pledged to spend billions of dollars and facilitate transfers of clean technology to developing countries to help reduce global warming emissions. Those promises were not kept but, in Kyoto, Japan, when these countries met again to address this issue, the call out of that meeting was for nothing less than a new economic order, as industrial nations committed themselves to very substantial reductions of polluting gases emitted by the burning of fossil fuels.
As a reporter covering this issue, I did many stories about climate changes being measured in the Arctic, as well as about pressure Canadian provincial and federal governments were putting on the United States to ratify Kyoto. As I did these stories, few of my editors ever suggested that I try to find opposing views about global warming.
In Canada, public opinion so strongly favored such actions that the government decided it had enough support to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Canada was one of few major economic powers outside of Europe to do so. As a reporter covering this issue, I did many stories about climate changes being measured in the Arctic, as well as about pressure Canadian provincial and federal governments were putting on the United States to ratify Kyoto. As I did these stories, few of my editors ever suggested that I try to find opposing views about global warming.
Why this lack of interest in balance from my editors with these stories? In some respects the situation can be easily explained. As it became quite clear that the U.S. government—our close and powerful neighbor to the south—was set against ratifying the Kyoto Protocol, this meant that ecologists in Canada were not facing a lot of pressure from within their own country about this issue. The perspective of my editors—and of many columnists in this country—is that the obligation to look to opposing pressure groups in Canada isn't as great when powerful opposition is found next door in the words and actions of the American President. In Canada, the consequence of this has been that pressure groups against Kyoto have become almost irrelevant; the only contrary views tend to come from the energy sector.
With the debate about global warming still open, how can a journalist provide the best available information and strive to produce balanced reporting? From my experience of 20 years covering the environment, the only way to do this is to become a specialist in reporting on these issues and work to do follow-up stories to bring in information that might be missing in the daily stories that tend to be done.
Jacques A. Rivard, a 1996 Nieman Fellow, has covered the environment from the early 1980's for the French arm of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). As a national TV correspondent from 1998-2004, based in Vancouver, he did many stories about the impact of global warming in the Arctic. He retired from the CBC in 2004. As a Nieman, Rivard held the V. Kann Rasmussen Environmental Fellowship.

Grant enables UCSD-TV to air ethics forums
The Gerald and Inez Parker Foundation has awarded a $30,000 grant to the Center for Ethics in Science and Technology to fund broadcasts and webcasts of the "Exploring Ethics: Henrietta Lacks" forums over UCSD-TV.
Demand for tickets to hear author Rebecca Skloot's recent talk about her book, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which details the untold story of one of the most important contributions to medical science in the past century, far outpaced the available seats, said a spokeswman for the UC San Diego Research Ethics Program.
Now, she added in an e-mail, if you can't make it to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center on the first Wednesday evening of each month, you can view the programs on UCSD-TV. Go to the www.ucsd.tv to watch on your computer or find the broadcast schedule.

With exactly one week to go until Opening Day, the San Francisco Giants still have 39 players in camp. That list will need to be whittled down to 25, which means Giants manager Bruce Bochy has some tough decisions to make. Enter 22gigantes.
I'm here to help Boch make the final cuts. Of course, there are the obvious ones like Matt Downs and Waldis Joaquin. But it gets kinda tough after that. Let's take a look at what the Giants' roster will look like on April 5.
The outfield (7)
Your Opening Day starters will be Mark DeRosa (LF), Aaron Rowand (CF) and Nate Schierholtz (RF), although John Bowker has been making a big push in spring training and could force Schierholtz into a straight platoon. Either way, Bowker is in. Andres Torres, Fred Lewis and Eugenio Velez will also make the team.
The infield (5)
First base belongs to Aubrey Huff. Utilityman Juan Uribe will be your starting second baseman. Edgar Renteria is the shortstop and Pablo Sandoval will be the Opening Day third baseman. 2B Freddy Sanchez will start the season on the disabled list, so don't count him on your 25-man roster. Do count Travis Ishikawa, who will back up Huff at first (Huff's sub-stellar glove demands that Ishikawa remains in San Francisco primarily as a late-inning defensive replacement). The nice thing about having Velez and DeRosa on the roster is that both players can play the infield (and, in particular, second base) to give the everyday guys (read: Uribe) the occasional rest. It's like having seven infielders for the price of five.
Catchers (2)

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
Well, thanks to the 40 minute debate and Council vote to put baby Jesus back on our civic lawn, so to speak, Lowell's city council meeting has now reached a nationally read atheist blog. I said on Tuesday night that all CC. Mercier was going to do was bring attention to the unconstitutionality of all the religion in our city meetings and at city hall - resulting in more of a chance to waste our taxpayer dollars on fighting that lawsuit (and others - official council prayer, anyone?) she wanted to have us pay for (and lose).
"Were we afraid of being sued?" Mercier said. "Because if we were, this is one lawsuit I would have no objection to fight all the way."
Famous last words of elected officials spending other people's money. She should ask the Dover school board how that attitude worked out for them.
And I will also say that while Rita said "let them all come!" talking about menorahs and such, do you really think she'll have such an equitable reaction if something like this is placed next to the manger next year? Because this public hissy fit over religion on our Council floor, like the inevitable lawsuit, makes it more likely someone will ask to do it.
Now, Ed Brayton merely found the news the Lowell Sun posted. What kind of reaction will the secular humanist community have to the actual rantings of the several people over the course of the discussion, do you think? Oh wait. I'm editing that video as we speak.
Rita just landed us in a heap of trouble. *shakes head*
Yeah I knew that was going to happen. Leave it at St Anne's it is a prettier setting anyway.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I watched the city council meeting today online.
bad enough that Elliott is mayor and Bernie's had enough, but to have the first hour of Elliott's council be taken up with this religious crap? one guy goes on for ten minutes telling me that the manger isn't Christian because Jesus wasn't a Christian, and then a woman says "that's why this country was blessed, because we trust in Jesus and he loves us" EXCUSE ME? are we in City Hall or is this church???
I know that lots of people believe in god, and that's their right. I don't want to disrespect their beliefs, but I don't want other people's religious beliefs forced on me.
I hate the council prayer and I'd love to join an organized fight to get rid of it, but would it only deepen the divisions between us? probably. I guess the really hard political work is work that brings people together, but it's so hard to just sit here and get jesused all the time.
I hope the city gets sued, and loses.
How about something like this on front of City Hall, Rita?
Whaddya say?
Okay. Tuesday night was rife with fanciful facts and Constitutional chaos wrapped in a heaping helping of inane assertions and political posturing. I agree that the manger doesn't belong at City Hall and that it's optimal home is right there in front of a church.
But the eye-rolling histrionics, snark and sarcasm is a little over the top and disingenuous.
By his own admission, Lynch was uneasy about the manger being at city hall last year, knew he was playing " Russian roulette with potential litigation but it stayed at City Hall nontheless and there was none of this outrage.
And while the meme is that the Council is acting like rabid Pentacostal holy rollers they are actually in step with precedent and tradition. The U.S. Senate and House both open their sessions with a prayer and both have an office of the chaplain.
I have to wait until after 12 noon to buy beer on Sundays in Mass. for no other reason but it's the Sabbath. Our kids will have Good Friday off from school. What about the whole notion that Christmas being a Federal holiday in the first place?
Are we going to have to re-name Christian Hill?
Our laws rely on precedent - when we discuss a Supreme Court nominee we spend much time concerned with stare decisis which is just a fancy way of saying precedent. So why are we so surprised when people assert precedence for a practice that was endorsed by the City Manager as recently as last year?
The nexus of culture and religiion is complex and for elderly folks who see many of their traditions being discarded by society, it becomes very emotional.
It's easy to assert you're for "All of Lowell" when its amongst everyone you agree with but what makes that slogan so powerful is the implied notion that it bridges these kinds of differences. Now, when I say that I am speaking of people acting in good faith and that typically doesn't apply to politicians.
The blue laws in MA ought to be rescinded. Everyone who finds out about these laws and what's still on the books thinks that.
You are literally promoting one (type) of religion with the prayer and the manger. Why is this so obvious to the rest of us, and not to you?
I assure you, it's utterly uncomfortable for me, as an atheist, to sit in that Council chamber at a meeting and have to have this prayer thrown in my face. It's peer pressure by the government - participate so I don't stand out, or stand out and stick to my principles. It's a minor thing, but actually, fairly powerful, and we have an alternative - not praying at all. That doesn't HURT religious people, as they have plenty of places (including silently, to themselves, any place they want!) to pray. Not praying is WAY more inclusive than praying before our civic meeting, don't you think?
I never advocated prayer at civic meetings. I was saying that the Lowell City Council were emulating Congress and were not outside the mainstream in conntinuing this practice.
Lynne, with all due respect, I expressed that quite clearly and I submit that you are so bent on beng an idealogue that you don't even take the time to think about what was being said. And I din't believe you are uncomfortable maintaining your principles, but I have no doubt there are people who would be uncomfortable.
My point was much of this hand-wringing is about your dislike of Rodney and Rita because when Lynch allowed the Manger at City Hall there it did not generate any of this "outrage."
Lynne, I wouldn't rush to rescind all the Blue Laws. The ones that remain are what keep MA free of some of the insanity of retailers forcing their employees to work on Thanksgiving because they just can't wait for Black Friday.
"I was saying that the Lowell City Council were emulating Congress and were not outside the mainstream in conntinuing this practice."
Agreed. It's mainstream and that's still a problem.
You had a nine paragraph comment, attacking me because I didn't address one specific point in a list of a bunch of them is rather unfair.
I get whiplash Lynne, when you shape-shift from sardonic satarist to shrinking violet. You totally misrepresent my position, hector me for a view I don't hold and then emerge as the wounded party!
And I am more apt to believe the Rodeney is secretly a member of Code Pink than to think for a second that my meager comment taxed your ability to comprehend.
Apparently an honest discussion is not in the offing so when you folks go on about having a dialogue, anyone with a respectful but slightly different take should just save their time.
You are perfectly within your right to refrain from commenting. I'm sorry that I'm human. Also, I was responding in kind to your fairly rude-ish comment "But the eye-rolling histrionics, snark and sarcasm is a little over the top and disingenuous."
If you want to start a good dialog, I suggest you not start by insinuating the original writer is going through histrionics. You are hardly totally without fault, here.
"In Jesus' name and in the name of all those who are right and holy, we pray.". The conclusion to the invocation at President Obama's inaugural invocation.
See? Rita, Rod & The Prez all together speaking in tongues and getting all Jesused-up and I remember the discussions about how upset everyone was that Christ would be invoked right there on the steps of the Capitol.
You're right, the national issues on establishment are also glaring. You're right we haven't talked about them much here. I realize your intent is to frame this as some kind of hypocrisy but it isn't. The issue now is local and so this local blog is commenting on local and current events.
Wow. You are not making an interesting point. What it appears you're doing is trying to play gotcha in a game, but all by yourself. *shakes head*
I was challenging the double standard and questioning the assertion that the City Council prayer was freakishly outlandish given that Congress does the same thing. For that I was marginalized, accused of "attacking" and had my position mischaracterized.
The irony is that I agree with the over-arching premise that religion is best left out of government.
It's obvious you want the succor of your echo chamber. I'll only comment when I'm in complete agreement!
@ Mr. Lynne: If you take a gander at the left margin of this blog's home page you will see a listing of topics. Included amongst them are "National politics" "The Obama Adminstration" so apparently it is only restricted to local topics on a selective basis..
Now you're moving goal posts. You keep wanting to talk about 'freakishly outlandish', we keep bringing up legality.
As to 'national politics', the objection wasn't that you brought it up. The objection is that you seem to think we're supposed to bring it up in this subject otherwise we're guilty of some kind of hypocrisy. Not the case at all - we bring up what we want. Lynne brings up what she wants. It's her blog. The particular 'balance' or 'obligations' of local to national isn't up to you.
With regard to agreement and commenting, we're outlining where we disagree. There are people who have posted on only points on which we agree and you're right - those don't generate a lot of back and forth. Should they? Should it be that comments in agreement are the ones that get repeated and comments of which there is conflict should die on the vine? I know which of those scenarios makes more sense and is more productive. I think you'd agree.

Developer addresses traffic, school concerns for Magee Ranch project
Original post made on Nov 6, 2010

To see the complete list of areas Summerhill Homes has "developed," visit their website SummerHillHomes.com. One developed area--Stone Valley Road, Alamo/Stone Valley Oaks 37 family homes (plus 10 custom home sites) community is located on bulldozed ridges accessed by a widened Stone Valley Road. Could Magee East and West be far behind?

The last thing Danville needs is anymore development of homes, particular at that area where the traffic on school days is horrible. I would suggest a new policy that our town implements on any residential development plans: Make the developer pay for a special election, and let the residents of Danville vote themselves on whether to approve the development. The new developments would affect our schools, traffic, pollution, and increase the need for more police and fire that would probably result in more taxes. Since the residents of Danville are the ones affected by this in the long term, not the planning commission, let us residents vote on this. It is truly the American way.

Try driving through Diablo Rd.,Green Valley Rd. and McCauley Rd. between 7:30am thru 9:00am-2:15pm thru 5:30pm and on days and nights where there are events at the Elementry School. The location is already above the safe saturation level. The intersections are blocked and don't allow for proper flow through traffic control light sequencing and there are big, unsafe backups as well as high volumes of pedestrian and bike traffic too. Parking on McCauley during these times creates a one lane road way. The intersection of Diablo/McCauley Rds. currently uses two school crossing guards to provide safe crossings. Weekends are not any better with all the sports teams playing on the sport fields. Adding 700-1000 cars to this area is not realistic especially as Windemere continues to grow and their residents use the back roads to access the 680.

London's taxis - accessible for everyone
London is becoming a lot more accessible for disabled travellers. I've yet to visit a museum, art gallery or attraction where ramps and lifts have not been installed. Adaptations, and the recognition of people with wheelchairs or mobility issues, are universal. Woe betides those public places that don't make an effort. London needs to show that it's open to everyone. Almost 20 million people will visit the capital this year and forecasts indicate numbers will rise.

ALHAMBRA –Congressman Adam Schiff and OFA (Organizing for America) Tuesday night in theAlhambra Public Library hosted a town hall health insurance reform forum.Health care reform is a hotly contested issue nationwide. All the way fromFlorida to down here in Alhambra, people are voicing their opinions.
"Ourcurrent level of spending is unsustainable and will eventually bankrupt thecountry if it's not fixed," said Congressman Adam Schiff. "Asuccessful reform package should provide the kind of stability where you willalways have coverage, even if your job doesn't provide it."
Schiff hassaid he wants coverage for those with pre-existing conditions and healthinsurance premiums that do not discriminate based on one's gender.
"Asuccessful reform should also ensure that the costs of health care don'tthreaten your family's finances, that your doctor is paid for making you welland not ordering unnecessary tests," Schiff said. "And that yourhealth-care premiums are spent on actual care, not paying for piles ofpaperwork and red tape."
But not everyone is for health carereform, or not in the way it is currently proposed. Jonathan Wilson, founder ofthe Pasadena Patriots, an organization that started spontaneously in protestingtax increases, said that it gives too much power to the federal government.Moreover, he feels that giving this power will be hard to wrestle back once itis given.
Although admitting that health careneeds to be fixed, he feels that national security and the economy are biggerpriorities for the nation. As per health care, Wilson favors free marketsolutions and health savings accounts that can be used to offset the high priceof health care.
Michael Fell, leader of theWestside Tea Party Patriots, says the current health care proposal has its ownproblems.
"The current bill is toointrusive, it exerts too much control over private lives. My solution is tort reform."
Fell said that tort reform wouldlimit the currently exorbitant amount of money doctors now have to pay formedical malpractice insurance and would also limit what he feels are theridiculous amounts of tests doctors need to perform in case a medical lawsuitfrom a patient does arise.
"Doctors have to practicedefensive medicine that drives up the cost of health care," Fell said. Hesaid that tort reform is not being addressed by the Democrats because theDemocrats are all lawyers and funded by the bar association. Instead Fellproposes stimulating health care competition across state lines and driving thecost of health care down.

Man charged over double stabbing in Walthamstow
8:42am Thursday 22nd November 2012 in Waltham Forest By Daniel Binns, Senior reporter
A MAN has been charged after a couple were stabbed in a house.
The 26-year-old woman and 27-year-old man were attacked in the property in Papermill Place, Walthamstow, at around 1am on Sunday (November 18).
The woman was slashed in the thigh and the man was stabbed in the back of the head.
They were taken to hospital but have since been released and are expected to make a full recovery.
It is believed that the pair had just come home from a party and their attacker was waiting for them inside the house.
After the stabbing the suspect ran off and the male victim staggered to Walthamstow Fire Station in Forest Road to get help.
Isaiah Kijjambu, 33, has been charged with grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent and attempted GBH with intent.
He appeared at Thames Magistrates Court on Monday November 19.
Mr Kijjambu, of Frances Street in Woolwich, was remanded in custody.
He is due to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court for a plea case management hearing in January 2013.

Lady Gaga Asks Fans to Forgive Her in New Post
Her latest album ARTPOP hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves, and Lady Gaga cited her staff as the reason her "Do What U Want" video has been delayed in a new letter on her Little Monsters website.
She began, "It is late because, just like with the Applause video unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it. It is very devastating for someone like me, I devote every moment of my life to creating fantasies for you. All my most successful videos were planned over a period of time when I was rested and my creativity was honored."
The "Edge of Glory" songstress also noted that she'd been betrayed by some of her ex-employees who "gravely mismanaged" her "time and health" to the detriment of her music and videos.
Gaga explained, "Unfortunately after my surgery I was too sick, too tired, and too sad to control the damage on my own… millions of dollars are not enough for some people. They want billions. Then they need trillions. I was not enough for some people. They wanted more."
"The next few months of ARTPOP will truly be its beginning. Because those who did not care about ARTPOP's success are now gone, and the dreams I have been planning can now come to fruition."
"Please forgive me that I did not foresee this coming, I never thought after all the years of hard work that those I called friends and partners would ever care so little at a time I needed them the most. Let me be for you the Goddess that I know I truly am."
