"The IPCR Workshop Primer": An Introduction to the Potential of The IPCR Initiative
This message is an introduction to a new document from The Interfaith Peacebuilding and Community Revitalization (IPCR) Initiative titled "The IPCR Workshop Primer" (425 pages).
"The IPCR Workshop Primer" is meant to be a resource guide for facilitators of IPCR Workshops, and a resource guide for participants in IPCR Workshops. The word "Primer" is used indicate that this resource is meant to be an energizer—it is meant to cause workshops to happen; and it is a storehouse of ideas for making workshops useful and inspiring. "The IPCR Workshop Primer" is also an introduction to the potential of The IPCR Initiative. "The IPCR Workshop Primer" is accessible for free (as a pdf file) from the IPCR website homepage (www.ipcri.net ). [Note: All IPCR documents are accessible for free.]
"The IPCR Workshop Primer" was written and compiled by this writer (Stefan Pasti), who is the founder and outreach coordinator for The Interfaith Peacebuilding and Community Revitalization (IPCR) Initiative.
One Way of Describing The IPCR Initiative
[Note: There is a section in "The IPCR Workshop Primer" titled "48 Different Ways of Describing The IPCR Initiative.]
The IPCR Initiative is aware of an urgent need to build bridges and increase collaboration between diverse communities of people; both as a response to the implications of global warming, ecological footprint analysis, and the "peaking" of our finite supplies of oil—and to be proactive about individual spiritual formation, interfaith peacebuilding, and the creation of ecologically sustainable communities.
The IPCR Initiative understands that the complexity associated with building bridges and increasing collaboration between diverse communities of people, the urgent need for resolutions to a significant number of critical issues in the near future—and the seemingly chronic nature of many of the challenges of our times—suggests a need for problem solving on a scale most of us have never known before.
In one of the "Keynote Documents" of The IPCR Initiative ("1000Communities2"), this writer advocates for Community Visioning Initiatives, "Community Teaching and Learning Centers" with ongoing workshops, and "sister community" relationships as a way of generating an exponential increase in our collective capacity to overcome the challenges of our times.
Community Visioning Initiatives can be described as a series of community meetings designed to facilitate the process of brainstorming ideas, organizing the ideas into goals, prioritizing the goals, and identifying doable steps. Many Community Visioning Initiatives require steering committees, preliminary surveys or assessments, workshops, task forces, and collaboration between many organizations, government agencies, businesses, and educational institutions—and seek to build up consensus in the community for specific goals and action plans by encouraging a high level of participation by all residents.
One of the main goals of Community Visioning Initiatives is to maximize citizen participation in identifying challenges, and in solution-oriented activity. In 1984, the non-profit organization Chattanooga Venture [Chattanooga, Tennessee (USA)] organized a Community Visioning Initiative that attracted more than 1,700 participants, and produced 40 community goals—which resulted in the implementation of 223 projects and programs, the creation of 1,300 permanent jobs, and a total financial investment of 793 million dollars.
Countless Numbers of Things People Can Do
Everyone is involved when it comes to determining the markets which supply the "ways of earning a living". All of us have important responsibilities associated with resolving a significant number of very serious challenges in the months and years ahead.
There are countless numbers of "things people can do in the everyday circumstances of their lives" which will contribute to peacebuilding, community revitalization, and ecological sustainability efforts, in their own communities and regions—and in other parts of the world. [See Appendix 1 (of "The IPCR Workshop Primer") Parts B and C on "117 Related Fields of Activity", for some examples of the countless number of things people can do.]
People can, one by one, decide to deliberately focus the way they spend their time, energy, and money so that their actions have positive repercussions on many or all of the action plans which emerge from Community Visioning Initiatives.
The result can be that there are countless 'ways to earn a living' which contribute to the peacebuilding, community revitalization, and ecological sustainability efforts necessary to overcome the challenges of our times.
[Special Note: The job fairs which come at the end of the Community Visioning Initiative process provide opportunities for all key stakeholders in the community (businesses, organizations, institutions, government, etc.) to demonstrate their upgraded awareness—and their interest in the welfare of the community—by offering and facilitating new employment opportunities… and thus helping with a just transition from patterns of investment which in only limited ways represent solutions to prioritized challenges to patterns of investment which in many ways represent solutions to prioritized challenges.]
Helping to make community building processes most effective, and relevant to the greater good of the whole.
"The IPCR Workshop Primer" encourages the creation of a "constellation" of initiatives, which can bring to light the many truly inspiring contributions of genuine goodwill in your community and region, and contribute much to the building of "close-knit" communities of people… communities with a healthy appreciation for each others strengths, communities with a well-developed capacity to resolve even the most difficult challenges— and communities which demonstrate a high level of compassion for their fellow human beings.
"The IPCR Workshop Primer" is an effort to provide many pieces of a "big picture" view in one place, so that there is both understanding of why there is a need for Community Visioning Initiatives, "Community Teaching and Learning Centers", "sister community" relationships, and a variety of affordable workshops at the local community and neighborhood level—and understanding of the kind of tools and resources which can help make such community building processes most effective, and relevant to the greater good of the whole.
"The IPCR Workshop Primer" has 21 sections and 3 Appendices. The 21 sections include: "An Assessment of the Most Difficult Challenges of Our Times", "Brief Descriptions of The Eight IPCR Concepts", "A 15 Step Outline for a Community Visioning Initiative", "Community Teaching and Learning Centers", "39 Suggestions for Preliminary Survey Questions", and "36 Problems That May Arise". The 3 Appendices include "Starting Point Links for Learning More About '117 Related Fields of Activity'", "48 Different Ways of Describing the IPCR Initiative", and "The Twilight of One Era, and the Dawning of Another" (a 21 page summary paper, with a 14 page "Notes and Source References" section).
"The IPCR Workshop Primer" also includes a short story by this writer titled "The Spirit of the Sacred Hoop". The first version of this 9 page short story was written in 1984. The story was revised to its current form in 2006. The story is about a tribe of people who are experiencing great challenges, a young woman's vision of a bird who conveys a message of great importance to the tribe, and a great journey undertaken by the tribe to find the tree at the center of the sacred hoop. The story has influenced this writer's thinking in many ways over the years. In particular, this writer believes that it (the story) contains one line—one sentence—which encapsulates the advantages of having many different paths by which we, as humans, can access the wisdom associated with religious, spiritual, and moral traditions (the wisdom associated with love, virtue, sacrifice, forgiveness, peace, etc.). Here this writer offers readers the opportunity to see if they can find that one line.
This writer encourages readers who explore this new resource to offer any comments, suggestions, recommendations, etc. Also, if readers have any questions, he encourages them to ask the questions. We need our public discourse to be as honest, responsible, and transparent as possible, so we can identify, nurture, support, and sustain ways to build a collective force greater than the challenges we are now facing. There is much which leaders could be asking from the people who respect their leadership, both as a matter of civic duty, and as a matter of necessity; and there are many people who will be very appreciative when they find that they have an important role to play in the work ahead. Leaders should guide citizens so that they can discover how they can do their part to contribute to the greater good of the whole.
With Kind Regards,
Stefan Pasti, Founder and Outreach Coordinator

By Mike Handley
Michael Hanlon's buck isn't going to break any records, but it sure turns a lot of heads. If the velvet doesn't get your attention, the left side's tall tines and the right's strange configuration — a three-point typical frame with an extra 22-inch beam on the backside — are sure to make you breathe through your open mouth.
Probably another corn-fed buck from the Midwest, right?
Ask any hunter to name the top whitetail states, the ones coughing up the most book deer, and the answers will likely include Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin and Iowa. I'd be very surprised if anybody mentioned Louisiana, which is where Hanlon arrowed his buck.
The Sportsman's Paradise conjures many images: crawfish, bayous, alligators, killer hurricanes, LSU and Bourbon Street. Deer don't really come to mind, but they should.
My introduction to the real Land of Giants came in 1999, when I met Cecil Reddick at a Tallulah, La., truck stop. We drove south into Vidalia, where Cecil (now the BTR's regional director for Louisiana and Mississippi) measured a nearly 300-inch whitetail shot back in 1947. I was there to get the story.
Cecil and I drove through Madison, Tensas and Concordia parishes that stormy day. I mention that because these — based on number of bucks entered into "Buckmasters Whitetail Trophy Records" from 2005-2007 — were nos. 2, 3 and 4 among the Top 10 counties in the world for firearms-harvested bucks.
I'm obliged to point out that were it not for Cecil's determination to lay a tape on every big whitetail to go to ground there, Louisiana might well remain the deer hunting world's best kept secret. And were it not for Jeff Simmons, who owns a sprawling sporting goods store in Bastrop, even Cecil's nose for exceptional bucks wouldn't be enough to thrust his state into the spotlight.
Simmons' Sporting Goods' 27-year-old big buck contest might not rival the Los Cazadores contest in Pearsall, Texas, in national name recognition. But it's very close in numbers of deer entered, and Jeff's is a couple of years older. Both contests draw between 2,000 and 3,000 entries, and Simmons' has attracted twice that in a good year.
Every spring, when entrants from numerous states gather at Simmons' for the grand prize drawing (most recently a $10,000 shopping spree), Cecil and a team of BTR measurers are on hand to score the cream of the crop. Seventy-eight new record book entries were measured Feb. 12.
I haven't run the numbers for 2010 yet, but I strongly suspect — based on this year's tally in Bastrop -- that Louisiana was the No. 1 producer of bodacious bucks last season. Stay tuned.
Dates to Remember
March 1: Deadline for BTR entries to be included in the 6th edition of the record book (those received after that date will make it into print in 2014).
March 14: Deadline for pre-registering for the March 19 antler-scoring class in Dubuque, Iowa.
This week's Braggin Board represents a very small sampling of the Louisiana deer taken in 2010 and measured at Simmons' Sporting Goods on Feb. 12

I'm currently reading The Fountainhead. It's not as difficult to get into as people say. I should have read this book a long time ago and ignored what everyone else had to say about it. The people I asked about it were either not readers or not at my reading level.
I'm really digging this book. Ayn Rand is pretty amazing. 6 years ago

NYC Bike SharePeople take a look at the prototype bike and dock for Citi Bike at the Citi Bank sponsorship announcement, City Hall Plaza, NYC.
New Yorkers will try out their new bike sharing system this summer.
Citi Bike, named after its title sponsor, Citibank, is set to become the largest bike share in North America. With over 10,000 bikes and 600 docking stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, the system will expand transportation choices and provide commuters with a cheap, an easy and an efficient option for short trips.
"From its yellow taxis, to its landmark bridges, to the Staten Island Ferry, New York City is a city of transportation icons, and these signature blue Citi Bikes will be New Yorkers' newest transportation choice," said Department of Transportation commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.
Citi Bike, which is scheduled to launch in August 2012, couldn't have come at a better time: bicycling in New York has never been bigger. Since 2006, New York City has added over 270 miles (435 kilometers) of bike lanes, including routes through parks and greenways, bringing the total to over 700 miles (1,127 kilometers). In addition, bike counts on key routes have more than doubled since 2007, while cycling injuries have decreased or remained the same.
Citi Bikes will be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week and 365 days per year. The bikes feature durable frames, bells, daytime running lights, secure docking stations and GPS theft-prevention systems.
The bike share is built around a five-year agreement between operator NYC Bike Share and sponsors Citibank and MasterCard. Citibank is providing $41 million, while MasterCard is contributing $6.5 million and funding the bike rental payment system. NYC Bike Share is not receiving any taxpayer or federal aid dollars, and once the bike share is up and running, revenues from users will help fund the system.
Citi Bikes are available to everyone 16 years and older. Users have the option of purchasing a membership for the day ($9.95), week ($25) or year ($95). With a daily membership less than a 10 minute cab ride and an annual membership less than a single monthly unlimited Metro Card, bike share is an affordable transportation alternative. The system also came with a nifty app, SpotCycle, which provides current information on bike and dock availability.
Each membership category allows the user to take an unlimited number of trips, with the first 30 minutes (24-hour and seven-day members) or 45 minutes (annual members) of the trip included in the membership fee and a graduated fee charged for longer use. This system of bike sharing, similar to BIXI in Montreal and Vélib' in Paris, encourages members to use the bikes for shorter trips and maximizes bike sharing potential.
Since the bikes can be returned to any station, NYC Bike Share will create an efficient network consisting of hundreds of possible arrival and departure points. And because 54 percent of all trips made by New Yorkers are less than two miles (3.2 kilometers), the bike share is expected to be a viable transportation option for many, particularly those eager to avoid inner-city gridlock.
According to Mayor Bloomberg, "The idea behind bike share is simple: give people one more way to get around town faster."

Bike Share Announced in Los Angeles
Bike Nation, a Southern California bike share company, will fund 4,000 bicycles at 400 stations around downtown LA, Hollywood, Playa del Rey, Westwood and Venice Beach, CA. Installation will begin in late 2012.

Theater Reviews: The Thoroughly Enjoyable Dreams of Flying, Dreams of Falling
Dreams of Flying, Dreams of Falling is the first production of an Adam Rapp play I've enjoyed more or less without reservations. Maybe that's because someone other than Rapp (Neil Pepe) directed this one; maybe it's because it largely dispenses with the traditional half-adolescent Rapp tropes (the broken young man of impossible promise, the baby-voiced Zoloft prophetess). All of the usual Rapptrap has been minimized in favor of some truly fearsome grown-ups: There's the great Reed Birney, working his well-worked ineffectual vein very effectively indeed as Bertram Cabot (yes: Bertram Cabot), a round-bellied, pinheaded Connecticut Wasp (whose name, in case I didn't mention it, is Bertram Cabot — presumably because Waspy Waspthorpe was already registered at the Dramatists Guild by A.R. Gurney). There's Christine Lahti as his monstrous wife Sandra, whose teeth show even when she's not smiling (and she's never smiling). And finally, as the dinner guest, there's Cotter Smith, sporting a name, Dirk Von Stofenberg, and a pair of slacks (pink) that only a burlesque artist or a man with a yacht-club insignia stitched in his dinner jacket could pull off. Von Stofenberg is the latter, having emerged suspiciously unscathed from a Madoff-sounding financial scandal he probably helped to engineer. The ruined offspring of these sinewy old raptors (Katherine Waterston and Shane Macrae) prowl the borders of their parents' feeding ground, but the play, mercifully, belongs to the old pack, not the youngsters.
I'm being a little obvious with the carnivore metaphors, huh? Not to worry: so is Rapp. This is a dinner-party-from-hell play, with little hat tips to earlier practitioners of the subgenre (Albee, Durang, etc). Andrew Boyce and Takeshi Kata's terrifying set looks like the inside of a leviathan, done up in faultless Litchfield style. There's a rough beast in the finished basement, geese keep slamming into the whited sides of the Cabot mansion, a man is marked for death within the first 30 minutes, and the delightfully unamused Quincy Tyler Bernstine, playing Wilma the maid, brings a little whiff of Cassandra into the room every time she enters to clean up after the alabaster patricians, e.g., removing their dead waterfowl or resetting their decimated table not after but while the kids, left alone for a few minutes, furtively copulate atop it. (This bangy little bit of choreography, deftly executed by Waterston, Macrae, and Berstine, is absolutely superb and contains the best use of a chandelier since — no, including — Phantom.) There's nothing subtle on offer here: Rapp's egregious poeticizing once again impinges on his very excellent sense of shock humor, and I couldn't really tell if he's sending up whack-a-Wasp dining-room absurdism or just aping it. I'm not sure it matters. Dreams of Flying doesn't have much new to say on the subject of the savagery underlying American wealth and privilege, but it has a great time covering the classics — adultery, exigency, barely suppressed madness and hysteria. You won't feel much by the end, but you'll have had a great evening getting numb.
On the other side of the Off Broadway color wheel sits Motherhood Out Loud, a Whitman's Sampler of short plays by playwrights well-known (Theresa Rebeck, Beth Henley) and barely known (Lameece Issaq). They range from the genuinely touching to the merely twee, and to tell you which is which would be churlish — you've already bought the ticket, what are you going to do? Duck out for a smoke until the headliners are on? There's no real need: The quality's consistent enough to keep you warmly engaged, if never genuinely challenged. A typical episode of Modern Family would probably furnish you with much of the same material. Suffice it to say, if you're a parent looking for a gentle heart massage, you could do far worse. The sleepless nights of those first eight weeks; the heart-wrenching first day of school; the sex talk; the long drive to college — the entire life cycle is here, intact, with some newish cosmetic flourishes (adoption, a boy who wants to wear a dress in the school play, the complications of having a "gayby"), but no real curves thrown. The production is sleek as a late-model minivan, with nice yuppie-naive animations and projections by Emily Hubley and Jan Hartley, and the four performers (Mary Bacon, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Randy Graff, and James Lecesne) display impressive range as they bounce from very-alike character to very-alike character. See it here before it transfers to Pier 1, which feels, from the get-go, like its natural bassinet.

Windows 8 was released last week, and here at YUI, I've spent time hacking around with building a native Windows app using YUI. The app is pretty simple. It gets recent and popular photos from Dribbble and presents them in a simple master/detail interface. The idea behind this app is to:
We recently added support for Windows 8 and IE10 in YUI 3, so everything works great out of the box. However, JavaScript developers who want to get started with native Win8 development may face a few obstacles. In this post, I talk about the obstacles that I faced, and offer solutions around them.
One of the restrictions placed on native Win8 apps written in HTML/CSS/JS is that they can't have references to external scripts or stylesheets. This means your scripts, stylesheets, and libraries – such as YUI 3 – have to be packaged locally. There are a few options available when it comes to locally including YUI 3:
build/ directory), which is about 30mb. This allowed me to include the YUI seed file (more on that below) and pull down modules using
YUI().use(' ... '), as I would normally. Note, that if you need to use gallery modules, you'll need to pull those down as well. In that case, it's not worth it to pull down the entire yui3-gallery repo; just pull in the individual modules.
WinJS apps have a single-page navigation model. By default, every app has a
default.html, which loads
default.css and
default.js. The
default.html acts as a "wrapper" for all views within the app, and does not possess any UI. Similarly,
default.js possesses general start-up code, not app-specific logic.
default.html acts as a "wrapper" for all views, I included the YUI seed file in there instead of having to include it in every view. Additionally, I had a
YUI_config variable defined with a path to all custom modules that were being loaded. Here's what it looks like. Adding the
YUI_config makes my other
YUI().use(...)statements much cleaner, and provides a single place for me to refer to for all custom modules.
As mentioned above,
default.html acts as a wrapper around all views. By default (if you create a new app from a template), this file also has a reference to a JS file with some model-data that is persistent across views. Each view within the app consists of an HTML file with optional CSS and JS files. I consider the CSS/HTML files to be view-related code and the JS file to be a controller for that given view. You can take a look at my code to see what these files look like, and how relationships are defined. So breaking it down, WinJS has:
One of the benefits of leveraging YUI is that code can be reused across environments. This is true here as well. When I started my app, I noticed that the sample model JS leveraged a lot of WinJS specific APIs. To me, a model should represent data irrespective of its environment, so I wrote my own models. I sub-classed Y.Model and Y.ModelList from the YUI App Framework. Check out the code for my models, ShotList.js and Shot.js. These models have no Windows 8 specific code and are responsible for retrieving images from YQL. I instantiate these models and set them to a WinJS GridView in ydata.js, but am hoping to clean that code up more. More on that below.
When it comes to views, there are a few options. You can either use WinJS APIs for native views, such as ListView, GridView, etc., or use HTML/CSS to make your own views. There is no performance hit of making your own views as opposed to leveraging the native APIs, that I know of, since the native APIs are still manipulating the DOM under-the-hood. When you consider this, it may be worth it to take some time to construct your own views just because you'll be able to re-use that code in other environments, if needed. A good example of this is in the Detail view for my Dribbble app:
Although it looks like a Metro interface, I'm not using any WinJS views. It's just standard elements with my own CSS. YUI makes this easy with
Y.View, interacting with a
Y.Model or
Y.ModelList. It's definitely an option to consider, especially since the APIs for regular WinJS views are a little tricky to understand (at least they seemed that way for me).
An added benefit: One of the advantages in this environment is that Microsoft includes a
ui.cssfile in every page, so simply writing regular HTML automatically conforms it to reflect the Windows 8 UI style. Unlike in iOS, where you have to "mock" the native UI through a lot of detailed CSS, in WinJS, it just works. This makes it easy to write your own views.
We've done a bunch of work in YUI3.7.3, and one of them was to get YQL working in this environment. In WinJS, the
yql-winjs module is conditionally loaded and uses XHR with CORS to communicate with YQL. All this happens under the hood and just works. I use YQL to query for data in
Although not YUI-specific, debugging can be frustrating in a new environment such as this. Luckily, Visual Studio has a few tools we can leverage:
Leave any other debugging tips in the comments!
This is a new environment, and I'm figuring things out as I build a real app. The good news is that all of the principles we apply in front-end engineering can be used here as well. Using YUI was a no-brainer for me since it allows me to write modular code that is not Windows-specific – at least not all of it. If Windows 8 development interests you, you should come to YUIConf where I'll be talking more in depth about building native Win8 Apps with YUI.
Hey! I noticed you didn't add native support for transitions in IE10 to the "transition" module. Was there an issue preventing it?
[...] YUI team member Tilo Mitra is speaking at YUIConf 2012 about Windows 8. You can get a preview of this talk by checking out our recently published YouTube video of the YUI Hangout we did as well as his excellent blog post. [...]
[...] Windows 8 Learnings [...]
First of all, thank you for the article, I find it very useful.
Second of all, I have a question about the integration of widgets from the yui gallery in a native W8 html5 app.
I have build a html5 application in visual studio 2012 for web and I am trying to transform it as a native windows 8, making it run on visual studio 2012 for windows 8.
While the widgets from the standard modules are working perfectly, when I use the widgets from the gallery modules (paginator, accordion…) I have a JS exception "The object doesn't support this action".
The debugger shows that in the following example Y.Accordion is undefined:
YUI({ gallery: 'gallery-2013.01.16-21-05′ }).use('gallery-accordion', function (Y) {
var accordion;
var accordion = new Y.Accordion({
srcNode: "#acc1″,
useAnimation: true,
collapseOthersOnExpand: true
Have you tried to use the widgets from the gallery in a native Windows 8 app? Is there something that I should include in the app(besides the gallery modules)?
@Sab: Thanks! I have not tested widgets from the YUI Gallery. I know you can set breakpoints in VS2012 to see where your JS is failing, so it would be useful if you could figure out what line the failure is happening at.
Use the non-minified version of the gallery module to find out. It looks like something inside the instantiation call is causing the error, but I can't tell what without looking at the Y.Accordian code in more detail.

Is the lung damage reversible when the exposure stops or are the workers

Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. said it may incur additional expenses in defending lawsuits resulting from its botched initial public offering for Facebook Inc.
The second-largest U.S. equity exchange operator said it may spend more on implementing technical changes and "remedial measures," according to a regulatory filing today. Nasdaq OMX said it is cooperating with a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into the handling of the IPO and that the lawsuits are without merit.
Nasdaq has taken steps to repair problems that disadvantaged some members during the May 18 IPO, according to the statement. On July 23, the exchange proposed creating a $62 million fund to reimburse members who suffered losses. UBS AG said earlier this week that its losses exceeded $350 million.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland, OR - KBOO Community Radio 90.7 FM (  http://www.kboo.fm) has been awarded a five thousand dollar grant from the Fund For Investigative Journalism (FIJ) to conduct an investigation of Oregon legislation which has been influenced or created by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

With this grant, KBOO volunteer investigative reporters will review Oregon state legislative activities to uncover ALEC influences on bills introduced in the Oregon state legislature between 2011 and 2014. KBOO investigative reporters have already, through their research, discovered direct links between three pieces of Oregon legislation, including the so-called 'Oregon GMO Protection Bill' passed as part of the special session in December 2013.

ALEC is an organization consisting of state legislators and corporate representatives, whose aim is to introduce legislation at the state level to advance the principles of free-market enterprise, limited government, and federalism.

Positive coverage of LGBT issues and events was non-existent in Portland's mass media until 1970 when the alternative paper, Willamette Bridge, began printing some articles. The next year, Oregon's first specifically gay newspaper, The Fountain, was launched. Some Portland LGBT publications that followed included NW Gay Review, the Oregon Gay Rights Report, The Northwest Fountain, Cascade Voice, Rag Times, Just Out, Lavender Network and PQ Monthly. These publications and others helped organize Portland-area LGBT people in their attempts to build community, gain equality, counter anti-gay political measures, and respond to AIDS.

All our panelists were involved in one or more of the above publications.

Rupert Kinnard's extensive career in publication design began with Just Out as one of the original staff members where he helped the publication win the National Gay Press Association award for best overall design in 1983. In 1996, while working as art director for the Skanner, Rupert won an award for best graphic and typographical excellence by the West Coast Black Journalist Association.

Renee LaChance covered lesbian events as the women's editor for The Northwest Fountain and served as the editor of The Cascade Voice and was co-founder and publisher of Just Out. Pride Northwest has presented her with two awards: the 2000 Spirit of Pride Award and the Pioneer Award both for her work with Just Out. 2014-02-03T22:05-07:00 Joe Anybody http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2014/02/426452.shtml en Video: Discussion Regarding Portland Water Public Utility District Public Access program, " A Growing Concern," featuring an interview with Travis Williams, Executive Director of Willamette Riverkeeper regarding an Initiative attempt to take the Portland Water Bureau and Bureau of Environmental Services away from the City Council and put it in the hands of a Public Utility District.

 Discussion Regarding Portland Water Public Utility District

 Program features an interview with Travis Williams, Executive Director of Willamette Riverkeeper regarding an Initiative attempt to take the Portland Water Bureau and Bureau of Environmental Services away from the City Council and put it in the hands of a Public Utility District.
Signatures are currently being gathered for a May 2014 election.

 Willamette Riverkeeper, as well as many local environmental organizations, vehemently oppose this effort.

Why the revolution? Because we believe commercial radio has gotten WAY off track, and it's time for change. It's time for a new model of radio - a model that reflects and serves the community through its music and public affairs programming. Connecting with the Portland community is our mission.

Portland Radio Project is a group of radio professionals who have witnessed significant and unfortunate changes to radio over the years. Through ownership consolidation, a handful of corporations have gained control over most of American radio. Their primary interest is money, not music, and certainly not community. They play only the songs that serve the bottom line, over and over and OVER again, ignoring incredible talent that deserves to be heard. They give air time only to those organizations that can pay for it, disregarding the great work done by so many Portland nonprofits and volunteers whose stories deserve to be told. homepage:  http://www.prp.fm 2013-10-01T10:05-07:00 Carrie Kikel http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2013/10/425223.shtml en Independent Media (Mexico City) take the floor in their own defense On September 11, these independent media collectives [from Mexico City] spoke at a press conference to tell what they experienced that day, denounce the alarming scenario of repression that exists in the city under Miguel Mancera, defend their comrades facing charges, and defend their journalism that has been denigrated both in the mainstream media and the 23rd misdemeanor courtroom of judge Fausto Favela Ayala; it's no exaggeration to say that the independent media themselves are on trial.

When they took to the streets to support the struggle of dissident schoolteachers last September 1, more than twenty people were grabbed by the Mexico City riot police and jailed unjustly, including Estela Morales of Regeneración Radio, Pável Alejandro Primo of Multimedios Cronopios and Gustavo Ruiz Lizárraga of the SubVersiones Autonomous Communications Agency, who were arrested as they documented police abuses.

In moderating the press conference, SubVersiones reporter Rafael Camacho pointed out that even though arbitrary detentions and irregularities have been documented in the cases, the judge continues to compound the excesses. "We presented videos showing the innocence of Gustavo Ruiz, but the judge disregarded them while accepting the statements of cops who failed to present evidence, photos, videos, or anything at all indicating Gustavo's guilt. . . And furthermore, they're still inventing charges." 2013-09-17T17:45-07:00 ((( i ))) SOLIDARITY http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2013/09/425113.shtml en Crucial KBOO Election Ballots are Out KBOO Ballots are Out Now--Vote Now.

Construction projects may impact Sun Bowl traffic
Updated On: Jan 16 2014 08:19:32 PM CST
Construction on and around UTEP during one of campus's busiest times of the year ... Sun Bowl.
There are two Texas Department of Transportation run sites. One on Mesa Street and Sun Bowl Drive. The other on Sun Bowl Drive through campus between Schuster Avenue and the Don Haskins Center.
"I think it's terrible. It causes a lot of traffic back up and we don't know what it's for," Rudy Marin said about traffic on Mesa Street. He is going to the game but not looking forward to traffic.
Marin is not the only one who feels that way. We asked viewers what they think of construction on our Facebook page.
Lorenzo said he's heading to the game at 7 a.m.
Dave advises people park a few blocks away and walk to the stadium but beware of no-parking signs in neighborhoods.
Charles said, "Take the shuttle. This construction should have started in January instead of late September. It was hard enough to go to UTEP games with small crowds much less 45-50 thousand fans."
Sun Metro has been helping people get to the bowl game for years. This year they'll offer rides from 8 locations for $3 round trip, including from areas such as the airport, Mission Valley and the east side.
"We do believe this will help traffic if we can get as many passengers as possible we would love to fill our busses," Savannah Leeper from Sun Metro said.
For those braving the crowds to drive themselves, there are parking changes on campus. Take a look at this map on the Sun Bowl website. All the spaces in pink are offering free parking with shuttles to the stadium.
"I think that's a good idea because we're not going to find any parking around here," Marin said.
Fans may have to take their patience to the Sun Bowl this year, but regardless the game will go on.
A TxDOT spokeswoman said construction down Sun Bowl Drive has been suspended until after the new year.

Throwing some dimes, starring Danny Ainge's reaction to today's workout
Every once in a while, I link to a few articles from other writers around the internet. You know, I throw some dimes.
- Danny Ainge spoke about today's workout with Cuttino Mobley, Adam Morrison, Trenton Hassell and Rashad McCants. Even though Ainge praised them, I'd eat a toilet full of feces if any of those four make the Celtics this season. "Those guys are all good NBA players," Ainge said, apparently lying through his teeth. "McCants looked really good," Ainge continued. "He shot the ball well, he competed at a high level. I'm really surprised that he's not in the NBA right now. Same with Adam Morrision, making shots, making passes. The guys looked hungry, they looked fit."
- Kelly Dwyer simply gets Antoine Walker. I second everything he writes about Employee Number Eight. "Think about it. He entered this league with the ability to turn into the pro game's most versatile player. Handle for days, in spite of his size. A passable touch from long range, in spite of his size. A knack for the carom, in spite his perimeter-heavy ways. A good sense of when, and how, to dish; in spite of his look-at-me tendencies. The guy could have been great, so great, in every way a man can contribute at this level. Instead, he coasted."
- With the C's starting center position open, Paul Flannery wonders whether Jermaine O'Neal's the man for the job: "On offense, O'Neal is a scoring threat from inside and out and as an added bonus, he also doesn't turn the ball over very much. On defense, he is a solid rebounder who offers a shot-blocking presence. He's not at Perkins level as an individual defender, but he's a clear upgrade offensively. O'Neal also brings an understated element to a locker room that will be bursting with huge personalities. It's impossible to tell how those dynamics will develop over the course of the season, but O'Neal is a well-respected pro who should fit seamlessly into the mix." If I were Doc, I'd start Jermaine. Let Shaq get buckets with the second unit while Jermaine keeps the first unit defensive.
- Kurt Helin previews the Celtics season. He acknowledges that the Celtics are contenders, but writes that the regular season could be another long one. "There will come a time this season when the Celtics play .500 ball or below for 20 games or so. And we will all put our short memories on display. We will say they don't look like contenders and this is different than last season, different than 2008. And Rivers will ignore everyone and work on getting guys rested and healthy for the playoffs. He knows if they are, they will be right there, knocking on the door of another banner for the crowded rafters."
- NBA Fanhouse re-writes the Minnesota Timberwolves' full-page advertisement. Pure comic gold.
- The best headline of the day: "Suddenly 'Hack-a-Shaq' takes on a new meaning."
One Response to "Throwing some dimes, starring Danny Ainge's reaction to today's workout"
If Adam Morrison is "a really good NBA player," Ainge probably thinks Von Wafer will be an MVP candidate.

Hopefully this will give optimism to someone else- Amnio Decision
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-15-2012 - 2:11pm
I lurk, mostly but wanted to share, in case any of this story helps someone else stay optimistic in the face of worry. I'm 39, w/unplanned pregnancy with 3rd child (husband procrastinated far too long on the vasectomy...yes, I should've taken birth control more seriously/ into my own hands!) Found out I was pregnant with 3rd in late July and truth be told... I was SOOO not thrilled. We have 6 1/2 yr old and 4yr old sons (both planned), we are happy/settled in our lives and truly, "comfortable" on the financial front but really don't have the extra funds around for #3, we both work FT outside of the home in an expensive metro area. We were finally seeing the most expensive years of daycare come to an end. We had a lot of freedom with ages and abilities of our children now. When we left the hospital after having #2, I knew then, and was happy with it, he would be my last.
Anyway, I made only little attempts to gracefully accept the news over the first trimester, knowing the child really deserves us to be happy and how, to so many parents who desparately want just ONE baby, we are so blessed. I needed an ATTITUDE change quickly. I was physically taking care of myself and little one, but just mentally/emotionally there was something missing. I did the Nuchal Trans @ 12w 5days. All was great on screen said the Radiologist, very healthy looking little one, and blood results would be back in about a week- but all in all, very promising.
Going on the visual results (nasal bone present, low nuchal fold measurement) I slowly started to reveal our news and let ourselves, an ounce at a time, get happy. A week later my OB called to say that one of the blood markers was little elevated (HCG, specifically) and this could signal a Downs Syndrome child. My risk of Downs/Trisomy 21 went from 1:94 (age based) to 1:57 with the combined test results of blood+good nuchal fold. Dr. was not stressed, but urged me, if I wanted to find out more/be better prepared if something WERE really wrong, to do amnio.
That decision was a no-brainer for me. I weighed the <1/2 % chance of m/c to the 1.8% chance of downs (1:57 mathematically) and made the appt. If I had ANY hope of bonding with the child for the next 26weeks (by this point) of pregnancy, I had to know. And yes, admittedly, we CONTEMPLATED (not saying we'd have done it, but we did seriously talk about it...) termination if the prognosis was just too bad. I waited 3 wks for my amnio appt at the top Genetics practice in town and just did amnio last Thurs. It was SOOO not bad. Procedure was much easier than I thought, though I didn't watch (I kept my arm over my eyes and looked upwards at the wall clock behind me.) I took it easy for 48 hours, followed Dr. orders of no lifting, etc.
Today I got the FISH (expedited) test results and I'm luckily one of the 56 of my odds-based group who have a good prognosis. No Downs- all necessary chromo present and accounted for- no more, no less. Confirmed another boy (we'd have been happy either way) and full results come back late week/early next week of the more rare/"unique" stuff. But FISH results are reliable, and the Trisomy21/Downs was why we were there to begin with. I can't even talk about how relieved I am without crying. I am not particularly religious, but modestly so (very personal relationship for me) and I knew God's plan for me would be the ultimate outcome, but of COURSE I was praying his and my "plan" were in sync!
So I hope this (longer than planned) narrative is found in searches by other moms with 1%+ chance of Downs based upon NT and age. I don't regret any decision- neither to do the NT/1st trimester screen, nor the amnio. Yes, the worry sucks. But 3-ish weeks of worry, & fortunately with a so-far-so-good outcome, is worth every ounce of relief felt when the amnio produces good, certain information. And my genetic counselor told me that she is MUCH more in the position of giving good news to parents than bad news, so odds are already in your favor. God Bless, and good luck!

Phelps finishes 8-for-8
|United States' Michael Phelps celebrates after winning his 8th gold medal after the men's 4x100-meter medley relay final Sunday at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing. (AP)
BEIJING (AP) — Cheering from the pool deck, Michael Phelps won his record eighth gold medal of the Beijing Games on Sunday to become the grandest of Olympic champions.
Jason Lezak held on to the lead Phelps gave him, anchoring the United States to a world record in the 400-meter medley relay against an Australian team that did its best to spoil history.
But Phelps, with a big hand from three teammates, would not be denied. He eclipsed Mark Spitz's seven-gold performance at the 1972 Munich Games, an iconic performance that was surpassed by a swimmer fitting of this generation: a 23-year-old from Baltimore who loves hip-hop music and texting with his buddies.
"I don't even know what to feel right now," Phelps said. "There's so much emotions going through my head and so much excitement. I kind of just want to see my mom."
Debbie Phelps was sitting in the stands at the Water Cube, tears streaming down her cheeks, her two daughters sitting with her.
Even though the Americans have never lost the medley relay at the Olympics, the latest gold was hardly a breeze. When Phelps dived into the water for the butterfly — the third of four legs — the Americans were third behind Japan and Australia.
But Phelps, swimming the same distance and stroke that he used to win his seventh gold a day earlier, powered back to the front on his return lap, passing off to Lezak with the Americans in front.
Australia's Eamon Sullivan tried to chase Lezak down and appeared to be gaining as they came to the wall. But Lezak touched in 3 minutes, 29.34 seconds — Phelps' seventh world record in his personal Great Haul of China.
The Aussies took silver in 3:30.04, also under the old world record, while Japan held on for the bronze.
"Nothing is impossible," Phelps said. "With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that's something I learned and something that helped me."
Phelps patted breaststroker Brendan Hansen on the head and threw his arms in the air after Lezak finished, though the Americans still had to wait a couple of tantalizing minutes for the official results to be posted. Aaron Peirsol swam the leadoff leg for the Americans.
Finally, it flashed on the board.
World record.
Gold medal No. 8.

The intersections surrounding St. Stanislaus Kostka School are about to get safer.
In an initiative to focus safety improvements at city schools with high accident rates, the Department of Transportation started the Safe Routes to Schools Program, a branch off of the statewide program that began around the same time.
At a town hall meeting that ended early due to low attendance, hosted by the DOT, the Department of Design and Construction and Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village), who will be funding the project, it was announced that the program would be brought to St. Stanislaus Kostka at 61-17 Grand Ave. in Maspeth, a private school on busy Grand Avenue.
"The Safe Routes program is looking to make some of the intersections around schools more pedestrian friendly," Crowley said. "Some places are really bad but the DOT has determined St. Stanislaus to be one of the worst, so we're starting there."
In 2001, the Department of Transportation examined the accident histories around the city's 1,471 elementary and middle schools.
In 2003, an initial list of 135 priority schools considered especially unsafe was made. There were 33 schools in Queens on the first-round priority list.
"Pretty much, the way we make these areas safer is by installing neck-downs," Ryan Kalleberg of RBI, the group working with DOT on the project said. "We build out the curbs which shortens the crossing distance and will force vehicles to slow down when they're making turns, particularly right-hand turns."
The neck-downs will extend 6-feet past the curb and will be implemented on Maspeth Avenue and 61st Street, as well as Grand Avenue and 61st Street.
A section of 57th Drive that branches off from Grand Avenue will be blocked to cars entirely.
"The project is currently in the bidding process," Kalleberg said. "It'll be open for bid on June 5 so it'll probably be another 6 months before the project is completed."
According to DDC, the project will work around school opening and dismissal times so that students walking to and from school will not be in danger. Safe paths will also be set up to ensure students are able to cross the street and walk on the sidewalks easily.
After St. Stanislaus Kostka is complete, Crowley said she is looking to bring the Safe Routes to Schools Program to a few more schools in her district.
"This will be the first of many safe projects to come," she said. "There are some places in our area that are really bad. Stanislaus was probably the worst in the district but I would like to see work done at PS 128 and St. Margaret's as well."
Kalleberg and Crowley noted that priority will be given to schools with higher accident rates and that not every school in the city require neck-downs or other improvements to nearby roadways.
"Some schools are located in an area that isn't as accident prone as others," Kalleberg said. "The program is designed for the schools that need it most. The cars going down Grand Avenue drive incredibly fast and it's just not safe."
