When the TSA' James Loy
(right) announced that "...mandatory collective bargaining is
not compatible with the flexibility required to wage the war
against terrorism" last Thursday, it triggered the expected union
response. Although the government is generally in favor of union
organizing, especially in the private sector, when it comes to
dealing with unions for itself, it sees all kinds of problems.
Fortunately, since the government doesn't have to follow the
laws it enforces on everyone else, the little demigods that run
various bureaucracies often pick and choose which laws they
want to follow. The TSA, one of the best examples of "independent"
bureaucracy, has long maintained that union organization, and union
work rules, would screw up its ability to deal as it sees fit, with
all eventualities. Congress made the TSA pretty much above the law,
when it was set up; all James Loy, the Under Secretary of
Transportation for Security, has to do, is say that anything he
decides is "in the interest of national security," and he's pretty
much off the hook, as far as the law goes.
The tens of thousands of folks who
signed up to work for the TSA knew, going in, that the agency
didn't want any unions, and didn't have to have any. Now that
they've "asked nicely," and have been turned down, they're going
the usual route, publicly complaining that the only 'right and
fair' thing for the TSA to do, is to let them organize.
Loy won't do it. He wants to say who will work, for how long,
and for how much money. He doesn't want some union boss
making those decisions for him. These battles are always different
when the government is involved, as bureaucratic and military types
(of which the TSA's entire cadre of overpaid management is
comprised) aren't accustomed to having to follow the laws everyone
else has to follow. Even when, as the unions claim, the law is
clearly controverting the bureaucracies' actions, bureaucrats pay
no heed.
So comes the predictable
lawsuit: a day after Loy again affirmed he wasn't going to
allow union organizing of his troops, the American Federation of
Government Employees, AFL-CIO, filed suit.
The union claims that some employees are being transferred to
airports two hours from home and are forced to work 60 or 70 hours
per week; that isn't what any of the rank and file signed up for,
and, if true, is a good example of why unions are still relevant in
"TSA officials do not have the authority to deprive
workers of their rights to join a labor union," said AFGE
National President Bobby L. Harnage. "TSA's broad and
highly questionable personnel authority certainly does not include
taking away first amendment rights."
Claiming TSA chief James M. Loy does
not have the authority under the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act to prohibit screeners from organizing, AFGE officially
filed the complaint with the U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia.
"AFGE is going to vigorously fight on behalf of the 56,000
airport screeners throughout the U.S. to overturn this unlawful
decision by Bush Administration officials," added
The union says that TSA passenger, baggage and lead screeners
experience unscheduled shift changes, forced overtime, sexual
harassment and delayed paychecks. Baggage handlers are working
without protective equipment when searching for explosives. Only
under union protection will TSA workers have the assurances they
need in order to do the best job possible for the American
[Union dues from the 56,000 workers would top $21 million/year,
according to estimates printed in The Washington Times

MSLO CEO: Mag Industry Headed Toward ŌĆśPeriod of ConsolidationŌĆÖ
Susan Lyne at McGraw-Hill Summit: A number of magazines will fold.
NEW YORKŌĆöDuring an afternoon session at the McGraw-Hill CompaniesŌĆÖ annual Media Summit on Wednesday, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia president and CEO Susan Lyne spoke on a number of magazine publishing-related topics, including her prediction that the industry is heading toward a ŌĆ£shake-up,ŌĆØ during which a number of magazines will fold.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve seen three or four years of a robust ad market,ŌĆØ Lyne said. ŌĆ£Less than established brands, with poor circulation numbers, have survived because there are a lot of ad dollars out there. This will be a period of consolidation and a number [of magazines] will fold.ŌĆØ
Blueprint, Martha StewartŌĆÖs personal lifestyle spin-off, folded in December.
Lyne spoke also about how MSLO diversified while its namesake spent five months in prison between 2004 and 2005. ŌĆ£We needed to figure out how to go to market with a more robust way and offer multi-platform content in a print challenged world,ŌĆØ Lyne said.
Lyne joined MSLO as CEO in November 2004. Since then, the company has expanded to include Web sites, television and radio broadcasting, and merchandising businesses in addition to its print magazines. MSLO also has landed numerous licensing deals and last month forged an agreement with star chef Emeril Lagasse to acquire his non-restaurant assets for $50 million in cash and stock.
Lyne says a significant hurdle facing magazines online is an overabundance of informationŌĆöboth staff- and user-generated. ŌĆ£The biggest challenge for content producers is that there is just so much information,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£What people, users, really want is a good editor. They should consider themselves not just a producer but an editor of valuable content.ŌĆØ

since kilogram is larger(thats why it has kilo- in front of the word) than the gram, we move the decimal point for 21.4 three places to the left to get .0214 kilograms. 1 kilogram = 1000 grams,-- (21.4 g/cm^3)/1000 grams = (.0214 kilograms/cm^3) --- hope that helps...

About CarriersEdge
CarriersEdge is a Software-as-a-Service system that allows fleets to improve their business performance by improving the quality of their drivers, and do so without the sacrifices traditionally required. The CarriersEdge system combines a library of online training courses, testing and assessment tools, and management reporting options to help fleets identify gaps in driver knowledge, and close them without disrupting operations or driver home time.
CarriersEdge also serves as the foundation for a variety of third-party training and certification programs, including Marsh's Driver Improvement System, the Ontario and Atlantic Provinces LCV Certification programs, and the Commercial Vehicle Wheel Service program in both Ontario and the Atlantic provinces.
After more than a decade of providing performance improvement services to leading companies around the world, in 2003 the CarriersEdge founders turned their focus to trucking. Their technology platform - a proven success at clients such as Suncor Energy, EDS, BMO Financial Group, and others - was enhanced with functionality and services finely tuned to the specific needs of the trucking industry. In late 2005, after more than 2 years of R & D and field testing, the system was launched.
December 2000
Cranial Expansion® (CarriersEdge parent company) is founded by a group of senior consultants from PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Cranial Expansion focuses on providing custom learning and performance improvement solutions to the financial services, hi-tech, travel & tourism, and higher education markets.
November 2003
Project ET, the research project that led to the development of CarriersEdge, commences with market intelligence and requirements gathering.
September 2005
CarriersEdge unveiled at 3rd annual Canadian Recruiting & Retention conference in Toronto.
July 2007
CarriersEdge and Humber College announce the Certificate in Small Business Management for the Trucking Industry - North America's first post-secondary program designed specifically for drivers and offered completely online.
August 2008
CarriersEdge and Truckload Carriers Association launch the Best Fleets to Drive For contest.
May 2009
Marsh Canada Ltd. launches Marsh's Driver Improvement System, powered by CarriersEdge.
July 2009
The Ontario Trucking Association and Private Motor Truck Council launch the Ontario LCV program, powered by CarriersEdge.
January 2010
Ontario Trucking Association and Ontario Tire Dealers Association launch the Commercial Vehicle Wheel Service program, powered by CarriersEdge.
October 2011
The Ontario Trucking Association announces OTA eLearning Solutions Subscription Service and OTA eLearning Solutions Marketplace - both powered by CarriersEdge.
May 2012
The Canadian Nursery & Landscape Association and Marsh Canada launch the HortProtect Risk Management System, powered by CarriersEdge.
March 2013
CarriersEdge adds its 200th fleet customer - Surrey, BC's Super Save Group.
Why are we doing this?
I get asked that a lot.
We're not "trucking people", we don't love getting under the hood and looking at engines, and some of us, in fact, CAN'T drive!
So why do we devote all our time to building systems that help the transportation industry?
Because we think that the trucks or cars or buses that a fleet happens to operate aren't nearly as important as the people that drive them, and the people trying to build a solid business around them.
Because we think that if those people have the tools, information, and motivation they need to do their jobs well, then the fleets will thrive and the industry will be stronger as a result.
When we started building CarriersEdge, we believed that technology could help fix some of the things that need to be fixed in this industry. We believed that online tools could help fleets reach more of their drivers, more effectively. We believed that by moving their programs online, fleets wouldn't have to sacrifice operations or driver home time anymore, making the programs more effective. And we believed that by continuously improving the quality of their drivers, fleets would improve the overall performance of their businesses.
It's been 8 years since we launched CarriersEdge, but we still believe all those things.
Whether we're adding titles to the core library, expanding the various industry certification programs that are run through our system, or capturing industry best practices through the Best Fleets to Drive For program, we're still focused on providing tools and information to help fleets thrive, regardless of where they're located or what segment they serve.
Thank you for your interest in CarriersEdge.
Mark Murrell
In August 2008, CarriersEdge and Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) launched the Best Fleets to Drive For contest - an annual listing of the North American for-hire trucking companies that provide the best workplace environments for their drivers and owner-operators.
Best Fleets to Drive For has four main goals:
- Promote the positive elements of the trucking industry
- Publicly celebrate the fleets that go above and beyond for their operators
- Document best practices that other fleets can take advantage of
- Provide opportunities for public recognition to fleets of all sizes
Now in its fourth year, the program has already amassed a wealth of information about the many great programs out there. Winning fleets have seen tremendous benefit as well - boosting their public profile and helping them gauge driver satisfaction levels.
Herb Schmidt, president of Con-way Truckload, one of the first winners, said, "Being recognized as a Best Fleet to Drive For was especially meaningful for us because there is no better testament to our success than feedback from our drivers. We are always working to improve our drivers' experience in the workplace - the award lets us know we are on the right track."
Chris Burruss, President of TCA added, "Best Fleets to Drive For is identifying the gold standard when it comes to a driver's work environment. Every carrier can benefit from what the program has to teach us."

A high dose of anti-infective agents is recommended when treating infectious meningitis. High creatinine clearance (CrCl) may affect the pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic relationships of anti-infective drugs eliminated by the kidneys. We recorded the incidence of high CrCl in intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted with meningitis and assessed the diagnostic accuracy of two common methods used to identify high CrCl.
Observational study performed in consecutive patients admitted with community-acquired acute infectious meningitis (defined by >7 white blood cells/mm3 in cerebral spinal fluid) between January 2006 and December 2009 to one medical ICU. During the first 7 days following ICU admission, CrCl was measured from 24-hr urine samples (24-hr-UV/P creatinine) and estimated according to Cockcroft-Gault formula and the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. High CrCl was defined as CrCl >140 ml/min/1.73 m2 by 24-hr-UV/P creatinine. Diagnostic accuracy was performed with ROC curves analysis.
Thirty two patients were included. High CrCl was present in 8 patients (25%) on ICU admission and in 15 patients (47%) during the first 7 ICU days for a median duration of 3 (1-4) days. For the Cockcroft-Gault formula, the best threshold to predict high CrCl was 101 ml/min/1.73 m2 (sensitivity: 0.96, specificity: 0.75, AUC = 0.90 ± 0.03) with a negative likelihood ratio of 0.06. For the simplified MDRD equation, the best threshold to predict high CrCl was 108 ml/min/1.73 m2 (sensitivity: 0.91, specificity: 0.80, AUC = 0.88 ± 0.03) with a negative likelihood ratio of 0.11. There was no difference between the estimated methods in the diagnostic accuracy of identifying high CrCl (p = 0.30).
High CrCl is frequently observed in ICU patients admitted with community-acquired acute infectious meningitis. The estimated methods of CrCl could be used as a screening tool to identify high CrCl.

Crossing the English Channel – by boat, in the air, or simply swimming – has long been a challenge taken on by adventurous folks. Twenty-one miles wide at its narrowest point, the Channel is cold and choppy, with strong currents and tides making the way difficult for a swimmer. Tides push the swimmer around, making the actual distance swum from point to point more like 30 or 40 miles, and a crossing can take anywhere from seven hours to more than a full day and night. Sharks don't swim in those waters, but jellyfish do – and one of their stings can easily put a damper on a crossing attempt.
In 1949, France was an Olympic swimmer who was disappointed when the endurance race was cancelled at the Games. So she made her own endurance race, with her first Channel attempt. Though she didn't complete the crossing, she was doggedly determined. She refused orders to leave the water, and continued swimming despite being freezing cold and nauseated. She even bit the hand of a helper trying to pull her from the water against her will.
The world was delighted with her strong drive to succeed, and she was embraced as a celebrity even when she couldn't complete her crossings. Her confidence and will – not to mention her beauty – electrified the world, and her son asserts that she was briefly "probably one of the top five most famous people in the world." Parades were thrown for her, she was offered a Hollywood contract, and she had "oodles of marriage proposals."
Shirley May France Setters died on Sunday, March 18. She didn't swim much after her Channel attempts, preferring to lead the normal life that can't be achieved with constant training. But she captured her moment in history – and she'll always be remembered for her fierce determination.

Cyber-Spying Charges Against Jay Ciccarone — Judge Dismisses Case!
I learned in a telephone call today from Jay Ciccarone that President Judge James MacElree, Court of Common Pleas of Chester County has dismissed his case. If you recall, Ciccarone's former wife, Suzy Pratowski, accused Ciccarone of cyber spying. Ciccarone was arrrested in September 2011 and charged with spying on Prawtoski. At the time of Ciccarone's arrest, Tredyffrin supervisor John DiBuonaventuro was dating Pratowski.
There will certainly be much more to come on this story in the days to come but I asked Jay for a comment upon hearing the news. Jay's response –
My family and I are glad and relieved that Judge MacElree has dismissed the case that has been pending against me for more than 16 months. The arrest, charges and publicity has been a great burden on me personally and professionally and I am looking forward to moving past this ordeal. I only hope that the dismissal of these charges receives as much attention as my arrest did.
Jay had maintained his innocence throughout this ordeal … today there is vindication.

$328 on the night off of about $60 invested, not a bad day overall but that fucking Neto SD fucked up a shitload of my parlays, I had about another $800 worth in parlays that would've paid out if he'd have gotten one more card.
Bedford didn't do too much damage as I'd feared, I suppose I paid Gibson some respect after all. Still, needless to say that double clutch stoppage from Hatley, after Gibson was hurt stung still.
PS, how the fuck does one judge score a 30-27 for Enz?

Standards of Ethical Conduct, premiering on Saturday, June 6, is the sort of local production worth rooting for, despite its many imperfections. Written and directed by Roman Hardgrave, the mid-length flick — at just over forty minutes, it's too long for a short, too brief for a feature — revolves around Heff (Savage Henry lead singer Damon Guerrasio), who soon regrets landing a job at a prototypically soulless corporation. What passes for a plot is actually a series of sketches whose tone will be familiar to anyone who's seen Office Space or The Office or pretty much any movie, TV show, commercial or comic strip from the past twenty years that's featured scenes shot in cubicles. Originality clearly isn't Hardgrave's strong suit, but he manages to wrangle energetic performances from Robert Bottelsen Jr., as the firm's martinet boss; Pamela McCreary, portraying a chirpy assistant; and comic Chuck Roy, who plays a stoner like someone who's taken the time to do research. The result is an amiable trifle showcasing Denver talent capable of doing even more with fresher material.
Catch the film at 8 p.m. at the Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo Street; tickets are $10. To learn more, visit www.standardsofethicalconduct.com or www.bugtheatre.org, or call 303-477-9984.

27 dead in US Elementary school Massacre
27 people, 18 of whom were young school children, were shot and killed at a US Elementary school in Connecticut, in what is one of the worst gun massacres in the country's history.
The gunman is believed to be a 20-year-old man with ties to the school. A witness said that two guns were used in the shooting, one of which was a .223-calibre rifle.
The White House said President Barack Obama had been notified about the tragedy and that he had "enormous sympathy for families that are affected."

Oppositional Boy - Need Help!
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 11-08-2012 - 3:08am
We have just started potty training our 25 month old son....again. We are on the exact same path that we were on the first time around a couple months ago. Day one is great, he goes potty on the "big boy potty" and is excited to try and is happy when he succeeds. Then day two he absolutely defiantly refuses to go on the potty. It is a screaming, fit-throwing time. We do have some success with simply getting him on the potty, but then he won't do anything. When he starts peeing on the floor I will remind him to go to the 'big boy potty' and he will scream "No!!" and pull away from me. He stops peeing at this point. I will let it go, not wanting to force him, but then as soon as I walk away he starts to pee again, I tell him to run to the potty and he screams no.
I do want to say, he is definitely ready to potty train, IMO...as well as many other friends and family. He stays dry for hours at a time, he hates to be wet or poopy, he rips his diaper off as soon as he pees or poops in it. He also has amazing bladder control, he can start and stop better than I can! LOL And I know he knows that he has to pee before he starts because he will stop playing, stand up, look down (to watch the pee come out) all before he even starts to pee! If this isn't ready to start potty training I don't know what is.
He has always been "spirited"...aka, stubborn! ;-) He is very independent and has always wanted to do things on his own. He has always been a little oppositional...if we praise him (even slightly) for doing something it is a 50-50 chance of whether or not he will do it again...or ruin what we just praised him for. For example...we were working on putting his cup on a table when he was not using it. He dropped it on the floor, we asked him to pick it up and put it on the table, when he did both my husband and I praised him..."Thank you for making a good choice" "That was a good choice" "Thank you for helping Mason!" or something along those lines...he looked right at us, swung his arm, and knocked the cup to the floor. He does these kinds of things fairly often, but usually when he can tell it is something that is important to us.
I'm not sure what to do. I know some advice would be to not worry about it, he will do it on his own when he is ready...but knowing him, I really don't think he is going to make the choice to potty train. If it were up to him he would go nakey and just pee and poo all over the floor. He doesn't want diapers, but he certainly doesn't want to potty train because its what we want.
UGHH! What do we do? I feel like we need to make it a positive, happy, fun, engaging experience for him somehow. Thats the only way he will choose to do it. Me and my husband are out of ideas. Sorry that got really long, I just wanted to make sure I described 'the case' thoroughly. Please Help!!
|Mon, 11-12-2012 - 3:28pm
Hello Masonsmomma,welcome to our board.
I am sorry this has take so long,having problems with some changover at main.
Now,have you tried bribing him?A piece of candy,a small toy for using the potty?
Have you tried getting him to wear the thicker training pants?
As you mentioned,he just pees or poops if naked,so that is out.
How is he at night time?what does he wear to bed?
you may have to start finding a way of getting rid of the disposable diapers to start.
Please let us know the answers to my questions and his reactions to what has been tried.

Philips 100W Equivalent Soft White A21 Dimmable LED Light Bulb ( 2700K)
Unless you find it on sale, this likable Philips LED can't quite offer the value of its competitors.
Advanced Lumonics Orbnext
At $129, Orbnext isn't an easy to splurge to justify, but makers, automation geeks and IFTTT aficionados might enjoy the niche appeal.
Belkin WeMo LED Lighting Starter Set
Smart LEDs are an overdue addition to the WeMo family of gadgets -- thankfully, Belkin did a nice job of getting them right.
Philips Hue Lux
These bulbs make the appealing world of Philips Hue lighting more accessible than ever before. At $30 each, they're definitely worth considering.
Philips SlimStyle BR30 LED
The price is right for this unique light, but as there are other options that offer notably better performance for a few dollars more, you may want to shop around.
Philips SlimStyle LED bulb ( 10.5 watt, Soft White)
For such a flat bulb, the SlimStyle is surprisingly well-rounded, making for a decent value at its price point.
BOT Home Automation Doorbot
Doorbot is an excellent idea poorly executed -- hold off for now and hope that this glitchy device improves with time.
Quirky Refuel
This smart fuel gauge is excessive if you're comfortable just lifting the tank, and it suffers a few usability issues. However, it does its job for a low cost and will prove useful if you need to check your tank on the go.
Lutron Smart Bridge
Lutron's Smart Bridge and related app work great, but the price is much too high for basic automated dimmer capabilities. If you plan to add other connected devices, its value will improve considerably.
Koubachi Wi-Fi Plant Sensor, Outdoor
The Koubachi Wi-Fi Plant Sensor makes comprehensive garden care as easy as possible, but for those willing to be more hands-on, it's not worth the cost.

Remembering The Stewardess Diet
 The Mayo Clinic Diet was also called the TWA Stewardess Diet sometimes, and was a popular fad diet during the 1990's. Many people have asked about what was in it, and the other day I came across a copy of it while looking through some old papers. Even though it was called The Mayo Clinic Diet, they never endorsed it. The diet was based around grapefruit, lots of salad and protein, and a few carbohydrates. Weight loss was supposed to be in the region of 50-55 pounds in 10 weeks.
I remember trying to lose some weight using this but it wasn't easy because I hate grapefruit. I didn't follow it like I was supposed to but after a month I did lose about 12 pounds. Personally I did OK for the first two weeks, and then I fell off the wagon and substituted for the grapefruit portions.
Like anything else you have to use some common sense with this type of diet. This principle was that it is a chemical breakdown, so do not substitute any of the meals. You can use salt and pepper, but no other seasonings. No bread on the four diet days. Only stay on the diet for 4 days at a time. The other 3 days of the week you can eat what you want in moderation.
Breakfast all 4 days ½ Grapefruit (No Sugar), Coffee (Black)
Day One
Lunch 4 oz Steak, Lettuce & Tomato Salad, 1 apple
Dinner 2 Hardboiled Eggs, 1 cup Green Beans, ½ Grapefruit
Day Two
Lunch 1 Breast of Chicken, Lettuce Salad, 6 oz. Tomato Juice
Dinner 1 cup each, Green Beans, Cauliflower, Squash, Applesauce
Day Three
Lunch 1 Hamburger Patty, Lettuce Salad, 1 apple
Dinner 1 Brest of Chicken, Lettuce Salad, 6 oz. Prune Juice
Day Four
Lunch 2 Scrambled Eggs, 1 cup Green Beans, 6 oz. Tomato Juice
Dinner 4 oz Steak, Lettuce Salad, 6 oz. Pineapple Juice
Today there are many more options available for going on a diet and weight loss has become a prominent issue in our culture. Keeping healthy is a balance between, proper nutrition, diet and exercise. Diet alone will not get you where you want to go.

The curmudgeonly blog, Jeremiah's Vanishing New York, says the recession is actually renewing New York — purging it of the selfish Young Urban Narcissists that have settled there and reminding us that New York has always been about more than making big money:
Many of us are feeling optimistic about this city for the first time in a decade. New York's identity has always been about much more than just real estate and money. The path of the New Yorker "has not been the path for the faint-hearted, for those that prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things."
That quote is from President Obama's inaugural address. In his rousing speech, there is great hope that the narcissistic, sociopathic tenor of our entire country, the dark cloud we've been living under for the past 8 years, is poised to change. And so it is changing in New York, too, where the "risk-takers, doers, and makers of things" have too long been stifled and squeezed out by a swaggering crowd of safety-seeking do-nothings.
Like Bush on his way out of office last week with his posture deflated, their swagger has diminished already. And our city will be far better for it. We don't need to tumble into violence and degradation. We can be safe, we can prosper, we can enjoy beautiful things–without living in a sociopathic New York.
This is eloquent. Recession as redemption and renewal? I can see it.
http://www.zgoodword.com Z
Interesting. While a good recession every once in awhile might have a cleansing effect. I wonder how full-blown depression has effected the city historically.

I`m Still Me
Posted By Norm McNamara On August 9, 2012 @ 1:19 pm In Blogs | No Comments
Look my way, hear my cry's,
Please see past these laughing eyes,
Lifestyle changing all time,
Never knowing what is mine,
Dreams and nightmares never ending,
Reality and truth always bending,
Into Dementia's distorted world,
Never knowing what's to be unfurled,
Voices, memories from the past,
Curious stares, Stigma cast,
I'm still here, why won't you see
For Goodness sake I`M STILL ME!!!

Top Local Tips for Mexico City
Teotihuacán Pyramids While in Mexico city, take five hours of your day to visit the Teotihuacán Pyramids. It's such a magnificent view you have from the top of the Sun Pyramid. There are beatiful obsidian souvenirs you can buy to embellish your home. It is a supreme feeling to experience a bit of the worldview of the indigenous Mexicans of Teotihuacán; to see their houses, the exact place where they sacrificed people to worship the sun, the murals of jaguars and other animals they considered holy. There is also a small, but informative museum at the site, which complements the trip. The pyramids are bigger than the Mayans in Can Cun, and the history is just as rich. Going there by car only takes 2 hours, and the entrance fee is about two dollars.

The Woodland Park off-leash area is almost a full acre of hilly ground covered in a canopy of pine trees. Amenities include an information kiosk, running water, benches, a picnic table and a good supply of tennis balls! The hills are great for exhausting your dog with a game of fetch, and if they tire of the dog area, put 'em on leash for a stroll around Green Lake, just down the hill.
Over the past few years, it had become clear that there were issues with the current location: erosion occuring on the hills, build-up of woodchips along the fence, and the generally muddy conditions in the winter. In the summer of 2003, Chris Mapes (the COLA steward for Woodland Park) applied for and received a Neighborhood Matching Grant to fund a renovation project to address these issues. Work began in the summer and was completed in January 2004. Our sincere thanks to everyone who volunteered their time or donated money to this cause - we hope you enjoy the improvements to this fabulous park!

Directions: Located in the southeast corner of the park, behind the newly remodeled ballfields and the tennis courts. From 50th Street, turn onto Greenlake Way and make the first left, then go up the hill. The offleash areas is on the left.

Jean Arthur (October 17, 1900 – June 19, 1991) was an American actress and a major film star of the 1930s and 1940s.
Arthur is best remembered for her feature roles in three Frank Capra films: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), You Can't Take It With You (1938), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), films that championed the "everyday heroine." Arthur was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1944 for her performance in The More the Merrier (1943). James Harvey wrote in his recounting of the era, "No one was more closely identified with the screwball comedy than Jean Arthur. So much was she part of it, so much was her star personality defined by it, that the screwball style itself seems almost unimaginable without her."[1] She has been called "the quintessential comedic leading lady."[2]
Her last performance was the memorable, and distinctly non–comedic, rancher's wife in George Stevens' Shane in 1953. To the public, Arthur was known as a reclusive woman. News magazine Life observed in a 1940 article: "Next to Garbo, Jean Arthur is Hollywood's reigning mystery woman."[3] As well as recoiling from interviews, she avoided photographers and refused to become a part of any kind of publicity.[4]
Arthur was born Gladys Georgianna Greene in Plattsburgh, New York to Protestant parents, Johanna Augusta Nelson and Hubert Sidney Greene. Her maternal grandparents were immigrants from Norway[5] who settled in the American West; she also had distant ancestors from England. She had three older brothers: Donald Hubert (1891), Robert B. (1892) and Albert Sidney (1894).[6] She lived off and on in Westbrook, Maine from 1908 to 1915 while her father worked at Lamson Studios in Portland, Maine as a photographer. The product of a nomadic childhood, Arthur also lived at times in Jacksonville, Florida; Schenectady, New York; and, during a portion of her high school years, in the Washington Heights neighborhood - at 573 West 159th Street - of upper Manhattan. The family's relocation to New York City occurred in 1915, where Arthur dropped out of high school in her junior year due to a "change in family circumstances".[7]
Presaging many of her later film roles, she worked as a stenographer on Bond Street in lower Manhattan during World War I. Both her father and siblings went to war, where her brother Albert died as a result of injuries sustained in battle.
"It would have been better business if I cried in front of the producers. It isn't a bad idea to get angry and chew up the scenery. I've had to learn to be a different person since I've been out here. Anybody that sticks it out in Hollywood for four years is bound to change in self-defense... Oh, I'm hard-boiled now. I don't expect anything. But it took me a long time to get over hoping, and believing, people's promises. That's the worst of this business, everyone is such a good promisor."[8]
Discovered by Fox Film Studios while she was doing commercial modeling in New York City in the early 1920s, Arthur landed a one-year contract and debuted in the silent film Cameo Kirby (1923), directed by John Ford. She reputedly took her stage name from two of her greatest heroes, Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) and King Arthur. The studio was at the time looking for new American sweethearts with sufficient sex appeal to interest the Jazz Age audiences. Arthur was remodeled as such a personality, a flapper.[9] Following the small role in Cameo Kirby, she received her first female lead role in The Temple of Venus (1923), a plotless tale about a group of dancing nymphs. Dissatisfied with her lack of acting talent, the film's director Henry Otto replaced Arthur with actress Mary Philbin during the third day of shooting. Arthur agreed with the director: "There wasn't a spark from within. I was acting like a mechanical doll personality. I thought I was disgraced for life."[10] She was planning on leaving the California film industry for good, but reluctantly stayed due to her contract, and appeared in comedy shorts instead. Despite lacking the required talent, Arthur liked acting, which she perceived as an "outlet". To acquire some fame, she registered herself as a photo player in the Los Angeles city directory, as well as appearing in a promotional film for a new Encino nightclub, but to no avail.[11]
Change came when one day she showed up at the lot of Action Pictures, which produced B westerns, and impressed its owner Lester F. Scott Jr. with her presence. He decided to take a chance on a complete unknown, and she was cast in over twenty westerns in a two-year period. Only receiving $25 a picture, Arthur suffered from hard working conditions: "The films were generally shot on location, often in the desert near Los Angeles, under a scorching sun that caused throats to parch and make-up to run. Running water was nowhere to be found, and even outhouses were a luxury not always present. The extras on these films were often real cowboys, tough men who were used to roughing it and who had little use for those who were not."[12] The films were moderately successful in second-rate Midwestern theaters, though Arthur received no official attention. Aside from appearing in films for Action Pictures between 1924 and 1926, she appeared in some independent westerns including The Drug Store Cowboy (1925), and westerns for Poverty Row, as well as having an uncredited bit part in Buster Keaton's Seven Chances (1925).
In 1927, Arthur attracted more attention when she appeared opposite Mae Busch and Charles Delaney as a gold digging chorus girl in Husband Hunters. Subsequently, she was romanced by actor Monty Banks in Horse Shoes (1927), both a commercial and critical success. She was cast on Banks' insistence, and received a salary of $700.[13] Next, director Richard Wallace ignored Fox's wishes to cast a more experienced actress by assigning Arthur to the female lead in The Poor Nut (1927), a college comedy which gave her wide exposure to audiences. A reviewer for Variety did not spare the actress in his review: "With everyone in Hollywood bragging about the tremendous overflow of charming young women all battering upon the directorial doors leading to an appearance in pictures, it seems strange that from all these should have been selected two flat specimens such as Jean Arthur and Jane Winton. Neither of the girls has screen presence. Even under the kindliest treatment from the camera they are far from attractive and in one or two side shots almost impossible."[14] Fed up with the direction that her career was heading, Arthur expressed her desire for a big break in an interview at the time. She was skeptical when signed to a small role in Warming Up (1928), a film produced for a big studio, Famous Players-Lasky, and starring Richard Dix. Promoted as the studio's first sound film, it received wide media attention, and Arthur earned praise for her portrayal of a club owner's daughter. Variety opined, "Dix and Arthur are splendid in spite of the wretched material", while Screenland wrote that Arthur "is one of the most charming young kissees who ever officiated in a Dix film. Jean is winsome; she neither looks nor acts like the regular movie heroine. She's a nice girl – but she has her moments."[15] The success of Warming Up resulted in Arthur being signed to a three-year contract with the studio, soon to be known as Paramount Pictures, and receiving $150 a week.
With the rise of the talkies in the late 1920s, Arthur was among the many silent screen actors of Paramount Pictures initially unwilling to adapt to sound films.[16] Upon realizing that the craze for sound films was not a phase, she met with sound coach Roy Pomeroy. It was her distinctive, throaty voice – in addition to some stage training on Broadway in the early 1930s – that eventually helped make her a star in the talkies. However, it initially prevented directors from casting her in films.[17] In her early talkies, this "throaty" voice is still missing, and it remains unclear whether it has not yet emerged or whether she hid it.[18] Her all-talking film debut was The Canary Murder Case (1929), in which she co-starred opposite William Powell and Louise Brooks. Arthur only impressed a few with the film, and later claimed that at the time she was a "very poor actress ... awfully anxious to improve, but ... inexperienced so far as genuine training was concerned."[19]
In the early years of talking pictures, Paramount was known for contracting Broadway actors with experienced vocals and impressive background references. Arthur was not among these actors, and struggled for recognition in the film industry. Her personal involvement with rising Paramount executive David O. Selznick – despite his relationship with Irene Mayer Selznick – proved substantial; she was put on the map and became selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1929. Following a silent B-western called Stairs of Sand (1929), she received some positive notices when she played the female lead in the lavish production of The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu (1929).[17] Arthur was given more publicity assignments, with which she went along, even though she immediately disliked posing for photographers and giving interviews.[17]
Through Selznick, Arthur received her "best role to date" opposite famous sex symbol Clara Bow in the early sound film The Saturday Night Kid (1929).[20] Of the two female leads, Arthur was thought to have "the better part", and director Edward Sutherland claimed that "Arthur was so good that we had to cut and cut to keep her from stealing the picture" from Bow.[21] While some argued that Bow resented Arthur for having the "better part",[22] Bow encouraged Arthur to make the most of the production.[21] Arthur later praised her working experience with Bow: "[Bow] was so generous, no snootiness or anything. She was wonderful to me."[23] The film was a moderate success, and The New York Times wrote that the film would have been "merely commonplace, were it not for Jean Arthur, who plays the catty sister with a great deal of skill."[22]
Following a role in Halfway to Heaven (1929) opposite popular actor Charles Rogers (of which Variety opined that her career could be heading somewhere if she acquired more sex appeal[22]), Selznick assigned her to play William Powell's wife in Street of Chance (1930). She did not impress the film's director John Cromwell, who advised the actress to move back to New York, because she would not make it in Hollywood.[22] By 1930, her relationship with Selznick was broken off, causing her career at Paramount to slip.[24] Following a string of "lifeless ingenue roles" in mediocre films, she debuted on stage in December 1930 with a supporting role in Pasadena Playhouse's ten-day run production of Spring Song. Back in Hollywood, Arthur saw her career deteriorating, and she dyed her hair blonde in an attempt to boost her image and avoid comparison with more successful actress Mary Brian.[25] Her effort did not pay off: when her three-year contract at Paramount expired in mid-1931, she was given her release with an announcement from Paramount that the decision was due to financial setbacks caused by the Great Depression.[25]
In late 1931, Arthur returned to New York City, where a Broadway agent cast Arthur in an adaptation of Lysistrata, which opened at the Riviera Theater on January 24, 1932. A few months later, she made her Broadway debut in Foreign Affairs opposite Dorothy Gish and Osgood Perkins. Even though the play did not fare well and closed after twenty-three performances, critics were impressed by her work on stage.[26] She next won the female lead in The Man Who Reclaimed His Head, which opened on September 8, 1932 at the Broadhurst Theatre to mostly mixed notices for Arthur, and negative reviews for the play caused the production to be halted quickly.[27] Arthur returned to California for the holidays, and appeared in the RKO film The Past of Mary Holmes (1933), her first film in two years.
Back on Broadway, Arthur continued to appear in small plays that received little attention. Critics, however, continued to praise her in their reviews. It was argued that in this period, Arthur developed confidence in her acting craft for the first time.[28] On the contrast between films in Hollywood and plays in New York, Arthur commented:
I don't think Hollywood is the place to be yourself. The individual ought to find herself before coming to Hollywood. On the stage I found myself to be in a different world. The individual counted. The director encouraged me and I learned how to be myself. [..] I learned to face audiences and to forget them. To see the footlights and not to see them; to gauge the reactions of hundreds of people, and yet to throw myself so completely into a role that I was oblivious to their reaction.[28]
The Curtain Rises, which ran from October to December 1933, was Arthur's first Broadway play in which she was the center of attention.[29] With an improved résumé, she returned to Hollywood in late 1933, and turned down several contract offers until she was asked to meet with an executive from Columbia Pictures.[30] Arthur agreed to star in a film, Whirlpool (1934), and during production she was offered a long-term contract that promised financial stability for both her and her parents.[30] Even though hesitant to give up her stage career, Arthur signed the five-year contract on February 14, 1934.[7]
In 1935, at age 34, Arthur starred opposite Edward G. Robinson in the gangster farce The Whole Town's Talking, also directed by Ford, and her popularity began to rise. It was Arthur's first time portraying a hard-boiled working girl with a heart of gold, the type of role she would be associated with for the rest of her career.[31] She enjoyed the acting experience and working opposite Robinson, who remarked in his biography that it was a "delight to work with and know" Arthur.[32] By the time of the film's release, her hair, naturally brunette throughout the silent film portion of her career, was bleached blonde and would stay that way. She was famous for maneuvering to be photographed and filmed almost exclusively from the left; Arthur felt that her left was her best side, and worked hard to keep it in the fore. Frank Capra recalled producer Harry Cohn's description of Jean Arthur's imbalanced profile: "half of it's angel, and the other half horse."[33] Her next few films, Party Wire (1935), Public Hero No. 1 (1935) and If You Could Only Cook (1935), did not match the success of The Whole Town's Talking, but they all brought the actress positive reviews.[32] In his review for The New York Times, critic Andre Sennwald praised Arthur's performance in Public Hero No. 1, writing that she "is as refreshing a change from the routine it-girl as Joseph Calleia is in his own department."[34] Another critic wrote of her performance in If You Could Only Cook that "[she is] outstanding as she effortlessly slips from charming comedienne to beautiful romantic."[35] With her now apparent rise to fame, Arthur was able to extract several contractual concessions from Harry Cohn, such as script and director approval and the right to make films for other studios.[36]
The turning point in Arthur's career came when she was chosen by director Frank Capra to star in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. Capra had spotted her in a daily rush[33] from the film Whirlpool in 1934[37] and convinced Cohn to have Columbia Studios sign her for his next film as a tough newspaperwoman who falls in love with a country bumpkin millionaire. Even though several colleagues later recalled that Arthur was troubled by extreme stage fright during production, Mr. Deeds was critically acclaimed and propelled her to international stardom.[38] In 1936 alone, she earned $119,000, more than the President of the United States and baseball player Lou Gehrig.[39] With fame also came media attention, something Arthur dreadfully hated. She did not attend any social gatherings such as formal parties in Hollywood, and acted difficult when having to work with an interviewer. She was named the American Greta Garbo - who was also known for her reclusive life - and magazine Movie Classic wrote of her in 1937: "With Garbo talking right out loud in interviews, receiving the press and even welcoming an occasional chance to say her say in the public prints, the palm for elusiveness among screen stars now goes to Jean Arthur."[40]
Arthur next filmed The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (1936) for RKO Pictures on a loan, in which she starred opposite William Powell on his insistence,[41] and hoped to take a long vacation afterwards. Cohn, however, rushed her into two more productions, Adventure in Manhattan (1936) and More Than a Secretary (1936). Neither film attracted much attention.[42] Next, again without pause, she was re-teamed with Cooper, playing Calamity Jane in Cecil B. DeMille's The Plainsman (1936) on a loan for Paramount Pictures. Arthur, who was De Mille's second choice after Mae West, described Calamity Jane as her favorite role thus far.[42] Afterwards, she appeared as a working girl, her typical role, in Mitchell Leisen's 1937 screwball comedy, Easy Living, opposite Ray Milland. She followed this with another screwball comedy, Capra's You Can't Take It With You, which teamed her with "Jimmy" Stewart. The film went on to win the 1938 Best Picture Academy Award and garnered an Oscar for director Capra. So strong was her box office appeal by 1939 that she was one of four finalists that year for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. The film's producer, David O. Selznick, had briefly romanced Arthur in the late 1920s when they both were with Paramount Pictures. 1939 saw Arthur re-teamed with director Frank Capra and Stewart in the classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, with Arthur cast again as a working woman, this time one who teaches the naive Mr. Smith the wily ways of Washington, D.C.
Arthur continued to star in films such as Howard Hawks' Only Angels Have Wings in 1939, with love interest Cary Grant, 1942's The Talk of the Town, directed by George Stevens (also with Grant), and again for Stevens as a government clerk in 1943's The More the Merrier, for which Arthur was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress (losing to Jennifer Jones for The Song of Bernadette). As a result of being in the doghouse with studio boss Harry Cohn, her fee for The Talk of the Town (1942) was only $50,000, while her male co-stars Grant and Ronald Colman received upwards of $100,000 each. Arthur remained Columbia's top star until the mid-1940s, when she left the studio, and Rita Hayworth took over as the studio's reigning queen. Stevens famously called her "one of the greatest comediennes the screen has ever seen", while Capra credited her as "my favorite actress".[43]
Arthur "retired" when her contract with Columbia Pictures expired in 1944. She reportedly ran through the studio's streets, shouting "I'm free, I'm free!" For the next several years, she turned down virtually all film offers, the two exceptions being Billy Wilder's A Foreign Affair (1948), in which she played a congresswoman and rival of Marlene Dietrich, and as a homesteader's wife in the classic Western Shane (1953), which turned out to be the biggest box-office hit of her career. The latter was her final film, and the only color film she appeared in.[44]
Arthur's post-retirement work in theater was intermittent, somewhat curtailed by her unease and discomfort about working in public.[45] Capra claimed she vomited in her dressing room between scenes, yet emerged each time to perform a flawless take. According to John Oller's biography, Jean Arthur: The Actress Nobody Knew (1997), Arthur developed a kind of stage fright punctuated with bouts of psychosomatic illnesses. A prime example was in 1945, when she was cast in the lead of the Garson Kanin play, Born Yesterday. Her nerves and insecurity got the better of her and she left the production before it reached Broadway, opening the door for Judy Holliday to take the part.
She did score a major triumph on Broadway in 1950, starring in an adaptation of Peter Pan playing the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up when she was almost 50. She tackled the role of her namesake, Joan of Arc, in a 1954 stage production of George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan, but she left the play after a nervous breakdown and battles with director Harold Clurman.
After Shane and the Broadway play Joan of Arc, Arthur went into retirement for 12 years. In 1965, she returned to show business in an episode of Gunsmoke. In 1966, the extremely reclusive Arthur took on the role of Patricia Marshall, an attorney, on her own television sitcom, The Jean Arthur Show, which was canceled mid-season by CBS after only 12 episodes. Ron Harper played her son, attorney Paul Marshall.
In 1967, Arthur was coaxed back to Broadway to appear as a midwestern spinster who falls in with a group of hippies in the play The Freaking Out of Stephanie Blake. In his book The Season William Goldman reconstructed the disastrous production, which eventually closed during previews when Arthur refused to go on.
Arthur next decided to teach drama, first at Vassar College and then the North Carolina School of the Arts. While teaching at Vassar, she stopped a rather stridently overacted scene performance and directed the students' attention to a large tree growing outside the window of the performance space, advising the students on the art of naturalistic acting: "I wish people knew how to be people as well as that tree knows how to be a tree."
Her students at Vassar included the young Meryl Streep. Arthur recognized Streep's talent and potential very early on and after watching her performance in a Vassar play, Arthur said it was "like watching a movie star."
While living in North Carolina, Arthur made front-page news by being arrested and jailed for trespassing on a neighbor's property to console a dog she felt was being mistreated. An animal lover her entire life, Arthur said she trusted them more than people.[citation needed]
Arthur turned down the role of the lady missionary in Lost Horizon (1973), the unsuccessful musical remake of the 1937 Frank Capra film of the same name. Then, in 1975, the Broadway play First Monday in October, about the first female Supreme Court justice, was written especially with Arthur in mind, but once again she succumbed to extreme stage fright and quit the production shortly into its out-of-town run after leaving the Cleveland Play House. The play went on with Jane Alexander playing the role intended for Arthur.[46]
After the First Monday in October incident, Arthur then retired for good, retreating to her oceanside home in Carmel, California, steadfastly refusing interviews until her resistance was broken down by the author of a book about Capra. Arthur once famously said that she'd rather have her throat slit than do an interview.[47]
Arthur's first marriage, to photographer Julian Anker in 1928, was annulled after one day.[48] She married producer Frank Ross, Jr., in 1932. They divorced in 1949.[49] She had no children by either union.
Arthur died from heart failure at the age of 90.[49] She was cremated and her remains were scattered off the coast of Point Lobos, California.[50]
Upon her death, film reviewer Charles Champlin wrote the following in the Los Angeles Times:
To at least one teenager in a small town (though I'm sure we were a multitude), Jean Arthur suggested strongly that the ideal woman could be – ought to be – judged by her spirit as well as her beauty … The notion of the woman as a friend and confidante, as well as someone you courted and were nuts about, someone whose true beauty was internal rather than external, became a full-blown possibility as we watched Jean Arthur.[51]
For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Jean Arthur has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6331 Hollywood Blvd. The Jean Arthur Atrium was her gift to the Monterey Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California.
Alternative country artist Robbie Fulks included a song, "Jean Arthur", on his 1999 compilation, The Very Best of Robbie Fulks. The track expounds on the actress's unique personality and style.

Oconee County, GA (WGCL) -- A man was arrested in Oconee County Wednesday after he claimed his dog drove him to the store.
Oconee County Sheriff Sgt. Partain says he responded to a call about a dog locked in a car at a Bell's Food Store near Butler's Crossing. The outside temperature registered at 99 degrees and the internal temperature of the car, which was measured with a handheld thermometer, was 123 degrees.
Partain said a can of gasoline in the vehicle reeked and described the smell as "stifling."
The driver of the car, Wesley Mark Terrell, 60, of Creekshore Drive told Partain that his dog drove him to Bell's to buy some corn. According to the sheriff, Terrell appeared to be highly intoxicated.
Partain arrested Terrell and charged him with Animal Cruelty and DUI.
Animal Control took custody of the dog.

News Release
Does UBS Settlement Include $245 Million "Hidden Bank Fee" for Taxpayers?
The following is a statement of Ryan Pierannunzi, Tax and Budget Associate with U.S. PIRG, on the settlement announced today between UBS and government regulators over the Libor scandal in which UBS and other financial institutions are accused of unlawfully tampering with interest rates. Along with agreeing to this settlement, UBS admitted to charges of fraud. The total settlement amount is $1.5 billion, of which $1.2 billion will be paid to U.S. agencies.
"We call on the IRS to forbid the bank from writing off this settlement as a tax deduction. Doing so would shift millions of dollars of the penalty onto taxpayers. UBS should be held fully accountable for its wrongdoing and taxpayers should be protected from picking up the tab."
"While we applaud the Justice Department for ensuring that UBS will not be able to deduct their $500 million portion of this settlement, no such provision was included for the $700 million portion that will be paid to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Unless the IRS prevents it, then UBS can write off this sum as a tax deduction and reduce its future tax bill by as much as $245 million.
"$245 million is quite a hidden bank fee. Every dollar that UBS avoids paying in taxes as a result of deducting this settlement, would be lost revenue that the public will be forced to make up for through cuts to public services, higher taxes, or an increase in our national debt."
"If UBS takes a $245 million tax benefit, then the result of today's settlement would fall from $1.2 billion down to a net transfer of $955 million paid to the U.S. Treasury."
"This settlement is meant to address the wrongs that UBS has committed. We don't think that the U.S. should allow UBS to treat the settlement costs as a normal business expenses. It sends exactly the wrong message to say that fraud is just part of doing business."
"With the debate over how to address our deficit raging, American taxpayers can ill-afford to be stuck with a bill – potentially hundreds of millions of dollars – to help UBS offset the costs incurred from illegally rigging rates."
"Allowing UBS to write off part of this settlement as a normal business expense would add insult to injury. When a company like UBS negotiates a tax-deductible settlement for its destructive wrongdoing, the public loses four times over. First, the public suffers the direct impact of corporate wrongdoing. Second, taxpayers are forced to shoulder part of the amount of the penalty because the public must cover the cost of the forgone revenue. Third, future deterrence of corporate wrongdoing is weakened. And fourth, the absence of a trial eliminates opportunities for a public airing of evidence about corporate misdeeds and the lax regulations that can lead to them."
A 2012 report by U.S. PIRG on the tax deductibility of costs from corporate wrongdoing can be found here.
