Shorelines, ferry issues begin to divide county commission candidates
BREMERTON — In the race for South Kitsap Commissioner, two Democrats, a Republican and a candidate who describes herself as "Conservative NP" found much to agree on during a League of Women Voters debate Thursday at the Norm Dicks Government Center.
A YMCA in South Kitsap? Sure, if local residents are in favor and funding won't drain core county services.
Reopen the county administration building on Fridays? Make it a top priority, the candidates said, though they differed by small degrees on how to do it.
Replace Harper Dock? Yes, the county should do what it can to help, all four concurred.
But the candidates, who will square off in the Aug. 7 primary election, began to show their stripes on the issues of shorelines, state ferries, and a possible sales tax increase to support mental health services.
Incumbent Charlotte Garrido, a Democrat seeking a second consecutive term, seemed the lone defender of the Shoreline Management Act, which drives recent revisions to shoreline plans in the county and Kitsap's four cities. The stakeholders panel assembled to advise the county on proposed updates to its Shoreline Master Program had access to more than 30 years of information on shoreline preservation, Garrido noted. Concerns that replacing structures on properties grandfathered in under earlier plans are unfounded, she said.
Garrido's challengers were united in their criticism of the state act.
"I think property owners should be able to develop their land as they see fit," said Republican Linda Simpson, who in 2010 made an unsuccessful run for 35th District state representative. "I think the Shoreline Management Act has gone too far in restricting the rights of property owners."
Democrat Lary Coppola, former mayor of Port Orchard, agreed with Simpson.
"The Shoreline Management Act tries to force a one-size-fits-all solution on all of us," Coppola said.
Kristine Danielson is unaffiliated with a political party and has run unsuccessfully for state senate in the 26th District and for Kitsap County assessor. She believes the shoreline act is "nothing more than the taking of the land ... I don't think it's done for any proven purpose. It's all done on speculation."
On ferries, Simpson came out strongly for a privatized system.
Coppola said history shows that the private sector can't operate ferries at an adequate margin to survive. He advocates greater efficiency within the state-run system and increased competition for ferry construction bids, with an advantage given to in-state companies.
Danielson leans toward privatization on the premise that private business "usually can do things better than the government," but she's concerned that a company failure could leave ferry riders high and dry. She suggested a public-private partnership and added she's "open to all options."
Garrido says the county should continue lobbying Olympia for fair and reliable state-run service through its affiliation with a regional ferry advocacy group.
Fewer than half of the state's 39 counties have approved a one-tenth of one percent sales tax increase to fund mental health services. Asked if Kitsap County should follow suit, Coppola said he would support such a resolution, which requires a majority vote of the three-member board of commissioners, not a vote of the people.
"One penny per 1,000 isn't going to break anybody, and it would do a lot of good," Coppola said.
Garrido would let county residents' opinions guide her decision.
Danielson is not categorically opposed, but she said "not at this time." County residents are already tax-weary, she said.
Simpson said she could not support any tax increase.
The forum was hosted by the League of Women Voters of Kitsap County.
The top two candidates in the Aug. 7 primary will move on the general election. Only residents of District 2, which includes South Kitsap and parts of Bremerton, vote in the primary. All county residents vote in the general election for South Kitsap Commissioner.

Cost to acquire pick from Rams might drain Dolphins' interest
"While the Dolphins have been reported to have interest in dealing with the Rams, a team source told The Sun-Sentinel the motivation to give the package of picks required to land Griffin III "isn't very high." After thinking about it, it's probably a smoke screen. But I do believe RG3 is our final option. Manning comes first once he's released and if that fails we'll probably go after Flynn. If that also fails, maybe we try to trade up, but I think the #2 pick will already be traded by then.

I am a biological oceanographer and limnologist. My basic research interests include primary production, grazing, and nutrient dynamics, and my applied research interests include various aspects of water quality analysis and remediation. One focus of my research has been the role of benthic microalgae in oceanic, estuarine, and freshwater ecosystems. I am interested in studying the basic processes regulating benthic microalgae with nutrient cycles and grazers, benthic microalgae as sources of useful natural products, and human impacts on sediment-water interface processes. I am also interested in evaluating water quality management practices in coastal areas and in the interactions of water quality with community function in estuarine habitats.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - For the first time we're hearing from some of the migrants who have been transferred to San Diego.
So far, two groups have been flown here to help alleviate a surge of undocumented immigrants crossing into Texas from Central America.
Saturday - many, including young children, were processed as this crisis continues.
Sitting outside the downtown federal building alongside her three children Saturday - this woman, who did not want to speak on camera, told CBS News 8 she left Honduras for the United States in search of a better life.
After reaching Texas, she became one of thousands who did the same - clogging detention centers there.
She and her family were part of the first group made up of 140 people transferred to San Diego on Tuesday.
They flew into Lindbergh Field and boarded buses headed for Murrieta. But when they arrived, protesters blocked their path -- many yelling at them to go home. The buses were forced to turn around and drive to San Ysidro.
The young mother says seeing the protesters made her fear for her life and the lives of her children.
When pressed for more information, she said Honduras is a dangerous place and she feared retaliation if she shared any more details as to why she left.
Another woman we approached said she was told not to speak with us.
We saw several migrants, mostly women and their children, leaving the federal building with processing papers in hand. We're told they were released to relatives in the area.
Under federal law, immigrants from Central America can not be sent back to their home country right away.
They must be brought into custody, taken to the Health and Human Services Department and then placed with a relative or guardian while waiting for a deportation hearing.
During a house meeting held in Texas on Thursday, lawmakers criticized the laws in place.
President Obama meanwhile, said during a naturalization ceremony Friday changes are needed, but he did not specify how or when that will occur.
"If we want to keep attracting the best and the brightest from beyond our shores, we're going to have to fix our immigration system which is broken and pass common sense immigration reform," President Obama said.
While all of the undocumented immigrants face deportation, some may be able to stay if they can get asylum.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Agencies that get money from the United Way of Southwest Georgia will only get about half the money they expected this year because donations are down so much.
The United Way sent e-mails to all 42-partner agencies Tuesday afternoon informing them of the bad news. In 2008, most of those agencies saw increases for the first time in a long time, but with donations already down $400,000 this year and unexpected layoffs at Cooper Tire there just isn't enough funding to go around.
"We can't determine what it is because people continue to layoff and this has never happened at this level before," said Dwayne Myles, United Way Director.
The United Way is also bracing for another cut in donations that could come later this year from one of their biggest supporters Procter and Gamble. P&G announced last month they would cut 300 jobs, possible by the end of summer. The United Way has also cut their staff to make up for the shortfalls.

The next time your young child starts sniffling and sneezing you may think twice before running for the medicine cabinet.
Friday the Food and Drug Administration recommended that cold and cough medicines should not be given to children under the age of six. In anticipation of the hearing, manufacturers last week pulled medicines aimed at children under two.
An American Academy of Pediatrics official told the panel that the medicines don't work in children under six and may be dangerous. But the drug industry says medicines do work and are safe.
NewsChannel 11 spoke with a local pediatrician, Dr. Doug Klepper who says this debate over children's cough and cold medicine is nothing new. He says pediatricians have known for years that these cough and cold medicines are not necessarily effective.
The reason it's in the spotlight right now is because an FDA review found some decongestants and antihistamines have been responsible for the deaths of more than 100 kids in the last 35 years.
Locally, parents we spoke with say they are confused by the FDA's recommendation.
"More medicine," says Paige Harder.
Unlike most two-year-olds Paige Harder actually enjoys taking her medicine. But her mom, Ashley Harder, was sick with worry when she learned of a voluntary recall of more than a dozen types of infant cough and cold medicines.
"Your first reaction when you think of giving your child something is to call the doctor and research to make sure what you're giving your child is safe," says Ashley.
Ashley is just one of the hundreds of parents who have called their pediatrician in the last week and all have asked a similar question.
"Should I throw away medicines that have been taken out of the store? Absolutely not. There's no need to throw away medicine," says Dr. Klepper.
Dr. Klepper says he has no plans to quit prescribing children's cough and cold medication.
"If they're under the age of six, I'll go ahead and actually give them an appropriate dosage and make sure they stay in appropriate dosage," says Dr. Klepper.
Aside from recommending parents not give children younger than six cough or cold medicine, the panel also recommended tougher label guidelines and banning the term doctor recommended.
After speaking with her daughter's pediatrician, Ashley says she is cured of her initial case of worry. And when Paige gets a cold next, Ashley plans to do what she's always done.
"I'm just really careful to make sure I give her the correct dosage. That's where the problem comes in, it's overdosing," says Ashley.
Despite some reservations, the panel agreed to allow the medicines to be used by children aged six to 12, even though it found no evidence the medications work. Now the FDA isn't required to follow the advice of its panels of outside experts, but does so most of the time.

Heres the real life deal. Texas is the biggest school, in the biggest state, with the biggest reputation. Why shouldnt they be driving the bus? Every gang has a leader. Do you think that Minnesota, Indiana, and the other little states in the Big Ten dont feel like tag-a-longs? Of course they do. Everyone knows Michigan and Ohio State are the Big Ten. Done deal. They will never let Nebraska really be an insider. After all they are just commoners like the rest of us. They can't really sit at the kings tables can they? Nebraska is just a cash cow for them. Nothing more. So I for one am a MIZZOU fan who dont really care who drives the bus. We started this conference a long long time ago and I dont want to see it die. Texas had a punched ticket to any conference..and I mean any conference but chose to stay. They could have done much better in almost any other conference and we all know it. I think they deserve a lot of credit. They stepped up and saved us a bunch of misery. Mountain West? Come on......I think not.

Bowling Green State University admissions aren't overly selective, but you will need decent grades and test scores to be admitted. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. Successful applicants typically have high school averages of "B-" or higher, combined SAT scores of 1350 or higher, and ACT composite scores of 18 or better.
You'll notice a few red dots (rejected students) and yellow dots (waitlisted students) mixed in with the green and blue on the left and lower portions of the graph. A few students with grades and test scores that were on target for Bowling Green were not admitted. The opposite is also true -- some students got in with grades and test scores that were a bit below the norm. This is because Bowling Green's admissions process is about more than numerical data. The admissions folks will want to see that you have taken rigorous college preparatory courses, not courses that get you an easy "A." The university will also take into consideration factors such as a student's contribution to campus diversity, a student's special talents, and a student's socioeconomic background.

Competitive 1-Year CD Rate Continues at RTN Federal Credit Union in MA - Easy Membership
RTN Federal Credit Union continues to offer 2.00% APY on its Jumbo 12-month certificate. This requires a $50K minimum deposit. The rate for the smaller tier has fallen since January from 1.55% to 1.20% APY. This has a $1K minimum deposit. It's also available as an IRA CD. These rates are listed in the credit union's rate table as of 5/04/2010.
Since this 12-month jumbo rate hasn't changed while the other rates have fallen, I was worried that RTN may have overlooked this. So I called the credit union (1-800-338-0221) this morning, and the CSR confirmed this 2% APY 12-month CD is correct for a $50K minimum. According to the CSR, there's no common time of the month when they change rates. So it could change at any time.
I also asked the CSR about membership qualifications. The CSR confirmed that members of the Gore Place Society can qualify for credit union membership. This society is included in the credit union's sponsor groups. There are several other organizations listed. Note, it's always best to check with the credit union about an organization to ensure membership will make you eligible to join the credit union. There have been cases at other credit unions in which they changed the listed requirement from membership of an organization to an employee of that organization.
For more info on credit union membership eligibility, please refer to the credit union membership page.
The credit union has some details about the member application process in this page. Here's an important excerpt:
If you are a Massachusetts resident, we request that you visit an RTN branch location to process your membership application. When applying for an RTN membership via the US mail from outside of Massachusetts, we require your signature to be notarized and you provide us proof of membership eligibility.
You can tell this credit union was originally set up to serve Raytheon employees. Many of the branches are located in Raytheon facilities. Branches that are publicly available are located in the Massachusetts cities of Amesbury, Danvers, Marlborough, Tekksbury and Waltham.
The credit union's ratings for safety and soundness are above average: 5 stars (superior) at BauerFinancial and 3 stars (performing) at Bankrate.com. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 24311.

Guilt is a very sneaky emotion.
It creeps in on our impressionable minds when least expected and can linger well past its expiration date.
My guilt spasms usually spring up after a day spent procrastinating when my nagging internal voice lists all the chores I should have completed.
I'm easily distracted, especially by the alluring charms of my television.
When it's switched on, I'm invariably hypnotised by the gleaming screen and any organised plans drop to the wayside when something's on.
Later, though, my mind tends to wrestle with itself and starts to feel awful about 'wasted' time.
I could have done something worthwhile, I tell myself – like attempt palates or at least watch a full episode of This Morning.
Luckily I try to refrain from indulging in too many thoughts of what I should have done instead as it gets too exhausting.
There is one place where guilt can't touch me and that's my kitchen.
When I'm preparing wholesome meals, I never feel taking time savouring the whole process is time wasted.
Which brings me on to this week's recipe is for fennel and pea curry.
Fennel bulbs are not commonly used in Indian cookery, but are delightfully delicious when combined with subtle spice.
I would describe fennel as having an almost celery like texture with a prominent anise flavour.
I've used aromatic garam masala to highlight these flavours and green peas to bring a refreshingly sweet dimension.
This curry is simple to prepare and perfect for occasions when a speedy meal is necessary.
I'm going to banish the word guilt from my vocabulary.
Perhaps if I don't say it, I won't feel it. Right?
Maybe I'm being naive, but if you're anything like me all nagging thoughts tend to dissipate when I've got a bowl of this in front of me.
Fennel and pea curry
(Serves 4)
1 cup of frozen peas
3 fennel medium bulbs, diced
200g tinned chopped, tomatoes
½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp coriander powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp garam masala
½ chilli powder (optional)
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 tsp garlic, minced
200ml vegetable stock
Handful fresh coriander, chopped
2 tbsp cooking oil
Salt to taste
Pour the cooking oil in a large saucepan and heat over a medium flame. Drop in the cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, chilli powder, star anise and cinnamon stick. Let these spices flavour the cooking oil for 10 seconds. Keep stirring to stop the spices burning. Now put in the turmeric, garam masala and coriander powder.
Stir fry these powdered spices for a further 10 seconds, adding a touch of water if they stick to the bottom of the pan.
Drop in the chopped fennel, peas, stock and tinned tomatoes.
Reduce the heat and let this curry simmer for a good 20 minutes or until the fennel is tender.
Once done, season to taste and stir in the fresh coriander.
Serve with fresh chapattis.

The Pacific Sailfish Mounts produce will resemble your Pacific Sailfish in a way that the finished product will look lilke it just jumped out of the water. They are built to last and will make an impression that will last a lifetime.
General Information of the Species
The Pacific Sailfish meat is fairly hard and not widely eaten, but they are prized as game fish. When hooked, these commanding, aerodynamic creatures will fight vigorously, leaping and diving repeatedly, and sometimes taking hours to land.
Conservation Sailfish are fairly copious throughout their range, and their population is considered stable. The Pacific Sailfish are currently under no special status or protections. Along with the Atlantic Sailfish they are the fastest fish in the ocean and have been clocked leaping out of the water at more than 68 mi (110 km) per hour. The Indo-Pacific Sailfish normally weighs 120 to 220 lbs (54.4 to 100 kg) and grows to about 5.7 to 11 ft (1.7 to 3.4 m). In the wild, their average lifespan is about 4 years.
At Global Fishmounts mounting purposes, nearly 100 percent of ALL sailfish mounts are "release mounts", meaning produced without using the actual fish or any parts thereof.
What is the difference between the Pacific vs. Atlantic Sailfish? The Pacific Sailfish or Indo-Pacific Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) has a different coloration and is also generally larger than the Atlantic Sailfish. The Pacific Sailfish with its large dorsal fin is a sought after prize trophy. The blue colorations with the many hues of gold and its size make the Pacific Sailfish a formidable foe and a trophy for any angler and avid fisherman. They are found near the ocean surface usually far from land feeding on schools of smaller fish like sardines and anchovies, which they often shepherd with their sails, making them easy prey. They also feast on squid and octopus.

[Previous entry: "John C. Volk Has Passed"] [Next entry: ""Quest For The Pacific" Lecture Series"]
12/13/2006: "Council Passes Stormwater Ord To An Empty House"
(Full County Council in new seating arrangement)
The County Council (CC) held a public hearing on a proposed ordinance of regulations and fees to address stormwater in San Juan County, and no one showed up; that is, unless you count the press and two members of the committee who advised the CC to pass the ordinance.
The ordinance will result in a new "fee" of $46.20 that will show up on property tax bills for each "developed" piece of property. The CC was told the majority of the money collected will be spent to provide stormwater improvements to Eastsound and other "essential large capital improvements". The CC was informed that in determining the amount to charge, it was decided that all property owners with developed property should pay into a stormwater fund, since it was developed property that had been identified as the source of negative impacts from stormwater.
It was also noted that if only those directly effected by stormwater paid their way, then some property owners in Eastsound would be paying as much as $50 a month, as opposed to a yearly charge of $46.20 if all property owners paid into a general fund. Individual property owners outside of such Urban Growth Areas as Eastsound will continue to be responsible for paying for the planning, permitting and installation of stormwater mandated improvements on their own property, in addition to paying the yearly $46.20 into the stormwater fund.
Matt Zybas of Public Works testified that for the purposes of the ordinance, "developed" would mean property that contained a residence or a commercial building. In response to questioning from Councilman Bob Myhr -who has noted some resistance to the fees from his constituents on Lopez- Zybas said a barn or other accessory buildings would not count as developed. This seemed to satisfy Myhr's concerns about his constituents concerns. Why one structure (e.g. a residence) would be a development, and another (a barn) would not, was not explained, and is not explained as such in the ordinance.
Zybas told the Island Guardian that eventually the fees for commercial buildings and large homes could exceed the base fee of $46.20, but at the present time Public Works (who will administer the program, and will also "kick-in" money to the fund) does not have an inventory of the size of improvements that contribute to stormwater run-off; such as driveways, roofs and the like, so all developed property will be assumed to have at least the base square footage of 4,400.
The Ordinance contains a multiplier that will be used to increase charges based on the square footage of impervious surfaces, but for now all improved property is assumed to be at least the minimum of 4,400 square feet, which is the base amount the $46.20 is tied to. If the County determines the square footage of impervious surface area exceeds 4,400 SqFt, and an additional charge is assessed as a result, the property owner may appeal, but the burden of proof is on the owner, and in some cases the the hiring of a surveyor or an engineer is required by the ordinance to make the determination.
The Ordinance can go into effect once the appeal period has passed.

Kendrapada: Anti-Posco activists on Tuesday dug up a road leading to the proposed steel plant site near the seaside entry point of Dhinkia gram panchayat, the epicenter of anti-land acquisition movement in Jagatsinghpur district, protesting the attack on them on Monday by many hired goons of a construction company, entrusted by the government to build an eight kilometre-long coastal road from Oil Refinery to Dhinkia.
At least 30 anti-land acquisition villagers suffered injuries when hundreds of hired goons of contractors hurled bombs and stones on supporters of Posco Pratirodhak Sangram Samiti (PPSS) on Monday. But the police in a clear nexus with ruling party leaders and contractors are not arresting any attackers, said Monorama Khatua, a woman leader of PPSS.
"On Tuesday at least 1,000 supporters of Posco Pratirodhaka Sangram Samiti (PPSS) dug up the main entry point of Dhinkia to prevent the contractors and their henchmen from building the road for Posco," said Abhaya Sahoo, president of PPSS. "We will prevent government officials, company staff and contractors from entering the proposed plant site. The villagers will stall any attempt to build the coastal road," he added.
Last month, officials had laid the foundation stone to build the coastal road from Dhinkia to Noliasahi and entrusted Paradip based Paribahana Private Limited to build the road.
While anti-land acquisition villagers guarded the proposed plant site in Dhinkia, Gobindapur and Nuagan, erecting bamboo gates to prevent the entry of officials and police, the administration had last month chalked out a plan to develop the alternative road instead of confronting the agitators.
The state government has already made it clear that it would not acquire over 300 acres private land from Dhinkia village. The company had also agreed to leave some 300 acres of private land at Dhinkia due to the opposition, official sources said.

DEFOREST (WKOW) -- It took a few months, but Juli and Larry Brown found the right recipe for their Project Money success.
"We did great. We've been budgeting and saving. Even the kids have been helping out. How? They don't spend as much money as they used to," said Larry.
"They got excited about it. They started thinking about college, and they wanted to be ahead of the game. They talked with their friends, too and the friends are even doing some of the things like that," said Juli.
Working with their Project Money coach, the Browns paid off more than $7,400 in debt and saved more than $2,500. And they also discovered something even more valuable: peace of mind.
"When it gets easier and there's not so much stress, you're like, this is the way it's supposed to be," noted Juli.
"If we win or not, I just want to continue doing it because we've saved a lot of money and paid a lot of bills in this process. And it really, really helped us a lot," said Larry.
They still have work to do, saving for the kids' college fund, for instance. But, the Browns know they're headed in the right direction and they already have a plan for that $10,000 prize if they win it.
"We're going to put some money aside for the kids' college funding. And we're going to go on a trip, vacation. Where? We really want to go to the Grand Canyon."

Australia Gets R18+ Game Rating
Posted on Monday, June 18 @ 12:37:19 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
The Australian legislature has passed a bill that allows an R18+ rating for video games at retail. Speaking with News.com.au, Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said:
Most of Australia's bans have come from high levels of violence. Games like Left 4 Dead 2, Manhunt, and Postal have bee banned previously. The most recent ban was handed out to the reboot of Mortal Kombat last year. Lesser expected bans were handed out to Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (for glorification of grafitti) and NARC (for drug references).
Many titles (like the Grand Theft Auto series) underwent self-censorship to get a classification in Australia and make their way to store shelves. With an R18+ rating in place, gamers will be able to make their own decisions at the register.

Men's Soccer Announces Several Signings
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Requires Adobe Flash
FORT MYERS, Fla. -
The FGCU men's soccer coach Bob Butehorn has announced the signing of eight student athletes to compete in FGCU's inaugural season this fall. Adam Glick, Michael Jeffery, Matthew O'Shaughnessy, Colin Gill, Arjun Jani, Chris DiNapoli, Ben Foerstner and Jonathan Koshko will be part of history as being part of the first recruiting class at FGCU.
"I am very excited that these young men have decided to come to FGCU to continue their playing career," stated Butehorn. "We are attempting to build something special at FGCU and play an exciting brand of soccer."
Adam Glick, a goalkeeper, comes to FGCU from Leola, Pa., and Conestoga Valley High School where he set a school record for most shutouts in a single season. Some of his accomplishments include LL league first team all-star, team captain for a premier team, and captain of Conestoga Valley.
Jeffery, a native of Fort Myers, Fla., was named 2006-07 Southwest Florida Player of the Year. He was state team player for the past four years and was national pool player when he was a freshman at Bishop Verot High School.
"I am extremely thrilled that we were able to get one of the top players in the area to come to FGCU," said Butehorn of Jeffery. "His presence will only add to the excitement around the community."
O'Shaughnessy a 6-2 185 pound defender is comes to FGCU via Mitchell High school in Tampa, Fla. He was on the under 17 Florida Cup State Championship team. During his junior and senior years at Mitchell he was named 1st team all district and All North Suncoast as well as being the captain. Before moving to Tampa he played for Hickory High School in Chesapeake, Va., where he was 2nd team all district as a freshman and sophomore.
Gill out of Plant City High School in Tampa, Fla., will be a scoring threat this fall for the Eagles. Gill was captain of Plant City and played for Brandon FC the state cup champions.
Jani is another defensive specialist out of Riverview High School in Sarasota, Fla. where he was a four year letter winner and team captain. Jani was also a two year all-county and all-region selection as well as being part of two state runner-up teams at Riverview. He was a three year MVP at Riverview.
From Clearwater Central High School, DiNopoli was First Team All-Pinellas County. He played with O'Shaughnessy on the Clearwater Chargers premier team. DiNopoli was named best attacker and co-MVP at Clearwater High School.
Foerstner comes to FGCU after an impressive prep career at Tampa Gaither. He was named first team All-Hillsbourgh County after his sophomore, junior and senior seasons. He was also a first team all-state player during his senior season as well. He was named MVP of his U17 Super Y League team that won the North American Championship in 2006.
Koshko also comes to FGCU from Mitchell High School in Tampa, Fla., where he was named All-Conference two years in a row. After his senior year he was named offensive MVP for Mitchell HS. He received the All Academic Sunshine Conference award his junior and senior years.
"This is a good group coming in for us," stated Butehorn. "I am eager to see how they come together when practice gets underway during the fall."

Kenyan men have been drawn into Somalia's brutal insurgency, on the side of the hardline Al Shabab Islamic group. This according to McClatchy newspapers:
With its porous border and large ethnic Somali population, Kenya has become a major conduit for money, weapons and fighters for the Somali insurgency, and a place where injured fighters sometimes come to receive medical treatment. The Kenyan recruits likely numbered in the hundreds, but they were rarely the most serious fighters.
What motivates the fighters? It ain't religion or ideology, the agency claims:
"They promised me $300 a month," said Ali Abdi Ahmed, a 38-year-old with sunken cheeks who was recruited from the Kenyan town of Garissa early last year. At the time, he'd lacked steady work for several months, so he took the advice of a town elder and went to help fight Ethiopian forces in Somalia.

Women's Day in Deloitte Croatia
How to be Assertive
Respecting differences is an important part of Deloitte's culture and professional behavior. Keeping in mind specific interests and needs of women in our office, in 2008 Deloitte Croatia organized the training Assertiveness skills, celebrating International Women's Day in this practical and useful way. The training's goal was to further improve women's knowledge on assertiveness, a type of communication which enables one to stand up for her/his rights and freely express thoughts and feelings.
Two separate trainings, held on March 5 and 6 by psychology professor Ms. Jasna Belamarić, were organized as the series of brief lectures and group discussions. Deloitte women in Croatia learned how to improve their communication with members of both genders, how to be assertive in the business communication, and how better interpersonal skills can lessen the level of everyday stress.
The comment of Aida Kirlin, Senior Manager in ERS, excellently summarizes the general opinion of Deloitte women on this event: «For me, being assertive means being able to find the middle path between aggressiveness and passiveness in our everyday life, whether personal or professional. The training gave us opportunity to realize the strong points, as well as shortcomings, in our communication with colleagues and clients. I hope this will be the first in a series of trainings, because our interpersonal skills can always use further improvement.»

... do we go after him?
At the end of the day, I care most about winning Super Bowls, and I imagine most Broncos fans feel this way. While TT impressed me vs. the Steelers last Sunday, I still think it's an open question as to whether or not he'll ever be able to put together the consistent performances that are necessary to win Super Bowls. However, I don't think we should dump him for a random FA quarterback (like Matt Flynn or Brian Hoyer as I've seen here). Nor do I think we should draft a QB to potentially replace him, as the team has other needs that are more important (although I did advocate several months ago, before RG3 went Heisman, drafting him and putting him and Tebow on the field at the same time. I still think this would work great but for the fact the RG3 has now become a top 5 pick and we are far outside the top 5.)
Therefore, the only potential replacement that would make any sense is Manning. If he's healthy and the Colts release him (which I do think will happen at the end of the day, despite anything Irsay is saying to the contrary) he is unarguably a better thrower than Tebow ever will be, and very arguably a better football player. He's also the only potentially available quarterback who could come in and not face a revolt from the fans. He has many of the same attributes as Tebow in terms of popularity, being a good teammate, being a good person, such that Broncos fans should be largely willing to accept him (although Tebow fans who are not Broncos fans will move on with Tebow.)Of course, in this idea I'm assuming the following:
1) The Broncos don't win the Super Bowl this year. If they do, hurray! I was wrong and I'm happy about it and Tim Tebow for life!
2) Manning is verifiably healthy. This is a big if, but I'm assuming a healthy Manning. If there's no evidence he can play, and play at a level at least near where he was before the surgeries, then obviously this is a dumb idea, and the Broncos would never consider it. So please assume a healthy Manning in your votes/comments. I understand it isn't a guarantee.
Of course, the other important component in such a change would be what we can get for Tebow. I've been impressed enough by him to think he actually has real trade value. (I also think they'd need to trade him first and the sign Manning, because a) he'll have less trade value once Manning is on board, and b) Manning isn't going to sign in Denver if Tebow is still here. Might as well stay in Indy and have Andrew Luck breathing down his neck.)
So what can the Broncos get? To me, the most natural partner is Jacksonville. They have a team similar to Denver, in that they have a strong running game and a decent defense. Furthermore, they have the worst attendance in the league, and would instantly sell out all of their games with Tebow returning home. Lastly, they have a new owner who will have incentive to reinvigorate the franchise, and Tebow would certainly do just that for them. They have a lot to gain financially from Tebow, and should trade more than merely football value to acquire him. I think we could reasonably get Blaine Gabbert, and 2012 and 2013 second rounders. Maybe we could get a 2013 1st rounder instead of a 2nd rounder, and maybe if we're very lucky we could get their 2012 first rounder instead of their 2012 second rounder. Gabbert was not good this year, but he turned 22 in October (compared to Andy Dalton who was 24), has a cheap contract thanks to the new rookie scale, and could improve a ton and become the new QB of the future if he sat behind Peyton for two years.
The Jacksonville trade above was just an example. I do think we should get something near the equivalent of a first round pick and at least one other, considering trades like the Cutler trade and the Kolb trade, where the team was trading a QB that demanded out, and they got at least that much.
So what do you think? Vote in the poll! And regardless of all this, Go Broncos, Go Tebow, and let's beat the Pats this week! I live in Boston and can't wait to gloat!

Release Date: May 15, 2007
Girl In A Coma is one of the latest bands to come out on Joan Jett's Blackheart Records, and based on what I've heard so far from this label (whose recent releases include last year's Vacancies release A Beat Missing Or A Silence Added), I'm yet to be convinced that Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna can do any wrong when it comes to choosing young bands and producing stellar records. Both Before I'm Gone definitely gets that stellar distinction.
Yes, That IS a Smiths Reference
Even if the band's name weren't lifted from a Smiths tune, Girl In A Coma wouldn't be able to avoid the Smiths comparison due to the fact that the pipes of Nina Diaz, the band's vocalist, sound just like Morrisey had he been a woman (and I know there are more than a few of my readers who would argue that he was, but you guys should just pipe down for the duration of this review).
As a personal side note, I'm not a huge fan of Morrissey. His track record of 30-minute concerts and my personally witnessing public displays of arrogance and attitude leave me unimpressed with him as a person. Even so, the Smiths are legendary and influential with a great sound to boot, and anyone who can take that sound and adapt it is more than welcome in my stereo.
Smiths and Morrissey comparisons aside, Girl In A Coma very much create their own sound. While they are a band firmly entrenched in influences such as the Smiths and bands of their era, these three ladies from Texas (the band is made up of sisters Nina and Phanie Diaz on guitar/vocals and drums respectively, and Jenn Alva on bass) are not afraid to take those influences and elegantly distort them into a sound that is all their own.
The record opens with the solid track "Clumsy Sky," a song which shows Girl In A Coma in all their lovely range. They start out ethereal and dreamy, and quickly transition into dirty Steve Jones-esque punk hooks, only to draw it back, cleaning it up a bit before dumping the grit back in.
The entire album is rife with these unexpected transitions. Tracks like "Road to Home" opens with one of those total Smiths-influenced sounds, only to be punched up with some totally fuzzed-out guitars, and "I'll Ask Him" mixes revved-up punk riffs with power-pop ballads.
But again and again, it's necessary to come back once again to the Smiths influences. Despite the band's ability to break away from those comparisons, they still sound great when they follow the Smiths' formula. On "Celibate Now," they open with a dreamy '50s riff, which is then slowly smothered by Diaz's dreamy vocalizations, only to crawl back up to the surface. It's the sound on this track, and others like it, that remind me how much I liked the Smiths, and how happy I am that another band has come along, taken that sound, ran with it, and yes I'll say it, improved upon it.
Whether it's the female vocals or the added grit and edge to their riffs, Girl in a Coma puts the Smiths sound in a new package, and I like it. Their sound still is evolving, and they will probably never be as canonical as Morrissey and Co., but I don't think it's their intent. They just seem out to create great music, damn the attitude, and that's what Both Before I'm Gone delivers.

National Product Functions in Comparative Steady-State Analysis
AbstractThe structural properties of steady state are well understood for multisector models, but the comparative dynamics of long-run growth are much less developed. By exploiting duality theory, this paper obtains conclusions about these effects for a small, internationally-trading economy. Arbitrary numbers of consumption and capital goods, and a very general technology, are admitted. Definite conclusions about the short-run and long-run impact on outputs and factor prices are not always available, but often correlations can be established between vectors of parameter changes and endogenous variable changes.

A set of properties of syntactic software complexity measures is proposed to serve as a basis for the evaluation of such measures. Four known complexity measures are evaluated and compared using these criteria. This formalized evaluation clarifies the strengths and weaknesses of the examined complexity measures, which include the statement count, cyclomatic number, effort measure, and data flow complexity measures. None of these measures possesses all nine properties, and several are found to fail to possess particularly fundamental properties; this failure calls into question their usefulness in measuring synthetic complexity.

The big question is – why was it called Jumbo Field?
4:44pm Wednesday 11th January 2012 in Your Memories
JOHN BIGGS in Bishop Auckland was taken by the picture of Memories 64 of the 1910 Lanchester Landaulette vintage car appearing at the 1954 Etherley Dene steam rally – because John attended the rally.
It was organised by his next-door neighbour, Herbert Dunn – the man who, in 1947, had built the miniature railway at Saltburn.
It was held on the curiously named Jumbo Field, in Etherley Dene.
"Steam traction engines didn't have the same cachet as they do now," says John.
"In fact, you could still see them in use. An agricultural contractor called I'Anson would use a traction engine to tow a belt-driven threshing machine from farm to farm.
"The third vehicle in his procession was a threewheeled Reliant van, which he would use to drive home in at night."
• IF the Jumbo Field isn't a peculiar enough name – can they have kept elephants in Etherley Dene? – the road just to the west of it is called Widgan Walls Lane. It runs past a farm called Widgan Walls Farm. Can anyone explain?

A husky named Zander left his home in Bay Shore and traveled to Good Samaritan Hospital last week, the Associated Press reports.
Zander's owner, John Dolan, was recovering from a leg ailment at the hospital at the time.
According to the AP, the 70-pound dog slipped out of his home at dawn and ran about a mile and a half to the hospital. A stranger called Dolan to alert him that the dog was across the street on Montauk Highway after finding his contact information on Zander's tag.
Dolan thinks Zander's destination may have just been a coincidence, however his wife, Priscilla, believes the dog set out to find his owner, the AP said.

Newport has a local chapter of the Million Moms Agains Guns that lobbied the Newport City Council last year to pass more gun laws. They said they were no going away just because they mostly failed last year. Naturally gun owners are opposed to their attempts to get more stringent gun laws passed. Gun laws do not work to stop criminals, however they do interfere with the citizens right to defend themselves.
I am a member of the Newport Rifle Club and every one of our 700+ members is interested in the 2nd Amendment being obeyed. The majority of our members live in Newport and Middletown. We oppose more gun laws since they do not work and only make the public less safe.
Many of the residents of Newport are veterans who retired here after serving on the Newport Navy base and most veterans are gun owners, at least every one I know. Veterans fought to defend the Constitution and all of the things enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the 2nd Amendment being one of those rights.
Then there is the fact that many people are ignorant about guns and their many uses beyond self defense, so the more guns are talked about in the media the better informed the public can become. That's a good thing. After talking to many folks over the years about guns with people who did not own one I have informed and converted many to support the 2nd Amendment and once they understood how important it is to keeping our country free. Several became gun owners after talking to me about the issues surrounding them.
I have taught many people how to shoot over the years and every one not only enjoyed it, but many became a gun owner themselves. They can be fun and learnig to shoot is a great discipline to master. The Newport Rifle Club teaches courses on gun safety and how to shoot. We teach everyone from Boy Scouts earning their merit badges to the infirm and elderly interested in not being a victim of crime, to just folks interested in learning about firearms.
If you read the history of America and her founding fathers you will discover that guns were one of the most important things in their lives and they enshrined that belief in the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution. They thought it so important that the people have guns that the language they used was carefully chosen to admit NO ambiguity. "The right of the people to keep and bear arm shall not be infringed." No wiggle room there because they intended none.

ANDERSON, Ind. — It's a little out of this world. The Anderson Symphony Orchestra performs two symphonies Saturday night with the celestial nicknames of Jupiter and Titan. The stage will be packed at Anderson's historic Paramount Theatre with more than 80 professional musicians under the direction of maestro Rick Sowers when the ASO launches its 46th season.
The epic production includes Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, known as the "Titan." The evening begins with Mozart's Symphony No. 41, known as the "Jupiter Symphony."
"The first two rehearsals have proven that the orchestra we've assembled for Saturday night's concert is the best ever to take the stage," said Sowers. "The quality of the music is astonishingly beautiful, and any concerns over a larger than normal orchestra are gone. The sound we're producing is lush and exciting, and I'm proud of the hard work our musicians have dedicated to this piece."
While the performance begins at 7:30 p.m., enthusiasts can partake of a pre-concert lecture by Chris Holmes, professor at Anderson University, in the Marquee Room at 6:30 p.m. Holmes will take a look at the stories of the evening's composers, Mozart and Mahler.
Saturday's performance marks the first of five concerts in the ASO's 2013-2014 season. Saturday, Nov. 9, the orchestra celebrates British composers, and features principal oboist Aryn Sweeney.
The orchestra will perform its Christmas concert on Saturday, Dec. 14, with favorites old and new, including "White Christmas" and "Sleigh Ride."
Sandi Patty teams up with the ASO for a Valentine's concert on Feb. 15.
The ASO will cap the season with Carl Orff's famous "Carmina Burana" on Saturday, April 5.
Visit andersonsymphony.org for more information and to listen to clips for a sampling of the works to be performed.
Tickets for Saturday's Jupiter and Titan ASO premiere start at $18 for seniors, $20 for adults and $5 for students. They are available online at andersonsymphony.org or call 644-2111.

The 12 Iowa Hawkeyes football players who had to be hospitalized Monday night were admitted for a kidney condition brought on by excessive exercise, according to a report by Adam Jacobi (a report which lines up with that one Black Heart Gold Pants commenter's claim). Jacobi:
A source close to the team confirmed to CBSSports.com that the malady afflicting the players is a kidney condition brought on after an excessively intense offseason workout.
Freshman Hawkeyes linebacker Jim Poggi was also quoted by Hawkeye Nation as discussing the ailment on Facebook. According to Poggi, one observed symptom has been brown urine and some players will have to stay in the hospital Tuesday night.
The exercise, as mentioned by BHGP, was some sort of extremely competitive squat sprint, though who knows for sure at this point. They do crazy things for fun in Iowa, y'all. The more news that comes out on this, the more it sounds like everyone is going to be OK.

Paleo lifestyle and the modern world
No less than ninety percent of what we discuss here is about paleo diet, and perhaps the remaining ten percent is about fitness. I am sure those two factors explain a good share of someone´s health. I have my concerns, nevertheless, about other things that set the urban citizen of today apart from traditional hunter gatherers: In winter, some five hundred years ago, a Native American on the Great Plains would have lived bearing the load of snow and icy mornings without any heating, except the one provided by his own garments and nomadic tent. Today "Neo-Paleos" will typically not resign the modern world indoor-heating, that results in indoors temperatures as hot in winter as they are in the summer. My question is what are your thoughts on this, whether you think that ideally people should converge to a life-style that does not isolate us from Nature, or would that be a totally misleading idea? Also in which other sense do you feel that there could a "Paleo life-style" that goes beyond optimal diet?

See this question and the excellent responses. Finding an answer to this question was actually the life work of Paul Shepard, and I would recommend his excellent book Coming Home to the Pleistocene, or any of his other books (but I'd start with CHTTP). He was primarily concerned with establishing cultural practices that comport with our true nature, as dictated by our genetic heritage.
best answer
Well, human beings originated in climates much warmer than the American Great Plains, and moved there relatively late (in evolutionary terms). Humans can adapt to harsh climates because of technology, to make, for example, knives, needles etc. and thus sew clothes; or to make fire (yes, fire was also used to keep warm in the Great Plains, not just "garments and tents"...), and the list could go on and on. Humans also underwent some major physical adaptations to colder and less sunny climates.
I don't think the Great Plains or Siberia are ideal niches for humans, but rather harsh environments to which we have adapted. If you think indoor heating is "isolating us from Nature", where would you stop? Is the domestication of fire "unnatural"? And what about spears? Clothes? Tattoos? Espresso con panna?
I think many of us experience too little contrast in our lives. As a result, we have a greater difficulty appreciating things such as warmth, a full belly, and just comfort in general because we rarely experience cold, hunger and discomfort. There is something psychologically damaging about insulating yourself from what we might call the "real world."
That being said, I don't know where the threshold is that separates "sound steps toward aligning oneself with one's design" from "regressive attempts at historical reenactment."
The myriad psychological impacts of our life within an ecology we're not adapted to is one of the primary concerns I'm working toward with my writing. Long-story short, I think we're maladapted to modern life and our instincts are hijacked by artifacts of evolution and the emergent institutions (nation-states, corporations, et cetera) are not optimally suited to individuals.
The study of evolutionary aesthetics deals with this specifically in its attempt to extract the environmental structures that are fundamentally important to us once the sociocultural pressures are stripped away.
All that said, I don't think a Luddite solution is any kind of solution either. A mental understanding that we're living in a maladaptive environment to begin with is the first step. From there, it's a matter of applying modern tools in a way that doesn't interfere with our innate preferences.
I like the tendency of the community to be satisfied with less comfort. Examples are Nikoley's no soap-thingy and Erwan leCorre's ability to sleep on hard surfaces (without pillows and blankets). Especially the latter is something someone would not try to emulate quickly, but once achieved imagine how much that would make your life easier!
I personally try to let it get kind of cold in the winter, and kind of hot in the summer. Do I have heaters and air conditioning? YES. But I don't turn them to max in any season. I use clothing and blankets to keep me warm, or stripping down as much as I can to keep cool.
I've never liked the idea of keeping a home at a constant 72 degrees or whatever room temperature may be.
Modern technology has in fact "separated" people from the cycles of Nature, to a large extent, and temperature is a clear example of this: definitely, Native Americans where much more subject to the cycles of summer-winter than we are today, and the same applies in many other parts of the world. I do not think that we should reject technology (that was one of the Luddites point) but I still think that being closer to what the natural cycle dictates is also a human need. For temperature I do as Sigil said, trying to "let it kind of cool in winter, and kind of hot in summer". In any case I view this as just one important issue, and the broader issue would be, to what extent are we prepared, or interested in moving towards older technologies, or lives less based in the "modern comfort" idea in order to live lives that would be more similar to the ones that hunter gatherers did have? I also appreciate Marks answer on Shepard´s work!

(adjective) Unbalanced or unfair, especially in playground sports. If one team clearly has the better players, the teams would be considered smuck.
"No way, guys. These are smuck teams. Let's pick again."

It is a Hebrew Word for the Foreskin that gets chopped off at birth. So when a person that is educated or a Jew calls you a Smuck. He or She is calling you a useless piece of dick.
I.E. a Smuck would go see the 2008 movie "never back down" or do things in attempt to appear "bigger" or manly. But factually a Smuck is weak and lame poser. Not so different from a Bro or a Gangster/Wangster.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — The secrecy agents are at it again.
State Sen. Travis Holdman, a Republican from over around Wells County, has introduced Senate Bill 101. This bill is also known as the "ag-gag" bill. Its purpose is to keep secret all of the questionable practices of farmers in raising animals or crops, many of which wind up on the tables of Indiana families.
We all know some of the practices of confinement feeding of pigs, cattle and chickens are abominable. It is just that the farmers who engage in such practices want them kept secret. They want the public to be kept ignorant.
This type of legislation was introduced in the last session of the General Assembly and did not make it through to the governor's desk. Hopefully, this will be the fate of this attempt at censorship.
Hiding only confirms wrongdoing. Think about it. If you are doing things you think would be judged wrong by the public, the only way to keep doing them is to hide them, keep them secret. Otherwise, an informed public may require change.
Those who support this bill are proposing secrecy. Those supporters do not belong in positions of public trust because they betray that trust.
Several other states have passed such legislation. The bills are aimed directly at whistleblowers. It criminalizes whistleblowing.
Whistleblowing employees have played a vital role in exposing animal abuse, unsafe working conditions, and environmental problems in industrial-style farming operations.
There are already adequate laws on the books to prevent or penalize misbehavior around private property. No more laws are needed, particularly if hiding acts and practices the public needs to know about are what they do.
The ag-gag bill needs to die a not-so-quiet death.
