- For the year, RadNet reports diluted per share Net Income of $1.64 compared to prior year diluted per share Net Income of $0.19 in 2011; Excluding a one-time benefit to Income Tax Expense of $60.7 million in the fourth quarter, 2012 diluted per share Net Income would have been $0.10 per share during 2012
- For the fourth quarter, RadNet reports Revenue of $165.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA (1)of $24.5 million, an increase of 2.7% and decrease of 24.2%, respectively, over the prior year's fourth quarter
- In the fourth quarter of 2012, Adjusted EBITDA (1) was negatively impacted by an estimated $3.5 million from loss of business associated with Hurricane Sandy, $1.5 million from two additional work days affected by Christmas and New Year's holidays; approximately $1.5 million of negotiated future payments from private payors for underpayments on 2012 services that will be recognized throughout 2013; and $1 million of salary expense paid in lieu of future salary increases; normalized for these non-recurring events, Adjusted EBITDA (1) would have been $32.0 million
- RadNet announces 2013 guidance, including expected increases in Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (1)
LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RadNet, Inc. (Nasdaq:RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 246 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers (inclusive of 23 facilities held in Joint Ventures), today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.
Financial Results
Annual Report:For full year 2012, the Company reported Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA (1) and Net Income of $673.1 million, $113.6 million and $64.5 million, respectively. Revenue increased $65.6 million (or 10.8%), Adjusted EBITDA (1) decreased $1.9 million (or 1.7%) and Net Income increased $57.3 million, respectively, from full year 2011 results. Net Income for 2012 was $1.64 per diluted share, compared to Net Income of $0.19 per diluted share in 2011 (based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 39.2 million and 38.8 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively). During the year, we recorded an income tax benefit of $59.5 million primarily related to the reversal of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets recorded in the fourth quarter. We consider all evidence available when determining whether deferred tax assets (primarily created by our historical Net Operating Losses, or NOLs), are more likely-than-not to be realized. This evidence included forecasted future taxable income, the future reversal of temporary differences and tax planning strategies that would be employed to prevent our NOLs from expiring unutilized. As of December 31, 2012, after analyzing all relevant evidence, including our recent historical trend of producing pretax income, we determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will utilize most of our NOLs in the future. As a result, the reversal of the valuation allowance resulted in our recognizing $60.7 million of income tax benefit and a corresponding net deferred tax asset of $60.4 million on our balance sheet during the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding this benefit, our Net Income would have been $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share.

nice pan
Pan works well. I know you technically don't need a special pan for scones but I find having the pan much easier than trying to make the dough into a circle and cut it correctly. The pan bakes very evenly and the scones come out easily. It cleans up easily and quickly as well.I recommend this product.
Nordicware Scone Pan
Like this pan for baking my scones. Not heavy like cast iron but still gives them that nice crispy exterior and soft interior -like the ones from my favorite bakery. The scones are smaller in size but I like that. They came out of the pan easy although I always give a light spray with Pam. Easy to clean. Think it will do well with other things too like cornbread. Almost didn't get it because I thought it was overpriced but I'll get my money out of it.I recommend this product.
Scottish Scone Pan
I have made blueberry and raspberry scones since I received the pan.. It is a wonderful pan and I'm baking perfect scones every time. They come out of the pan with ease and look like I ordered them at a restaurant.I never used to like scones. I always thought they were too dry but these come out moist and yummy. I would recommend this scone pan without reservation. MarciaI recommend this product.

Great scone pan!
I must admit, I never made a scone before! A co-worker brought in scones and they were amazing. The recipe followed and I vowed to make them my own creation! I quickly realized a scone pan would aid in my plans and after looking around, I decided on this one. It was about $10 higher than a lower quality product and since I have been happy with other nodicware pans, I chose this one. It is great. I use a bit of non-stick spray and everything pops right out. I think it is non-stick enough that it might come out on it's own, but after doing all the work to make the dough, I haven't been willing to try that way out. Great, quality pan!I recommend this product.

I baked a batch of King Arthur packaged scones and they turned out just perfect ! My new Scone pan by Nordic Ware released the finished scones without sticking. I will bake delicious scones and corn bread for my family and guests more often with this special pan.

Kellogg's Crunchy Nut is Too Good to Resist in New Leo Spot
If you have nightmares about snakes (as I often do), be prepared to close your eyes when the "Red Riddler" leaps out of the cupboard in this Kellogg's Crunchy Nut spot from Leo Burnett London.
The 30-second TV ad brings the brand back to one of its traditional taglines: "The trouble is they taste too good." That's why the snake somehow jumps up the snake catcher's shorts; his assistant couldn't resist the Crunchy Nuts (whose crunchy sound provoked the serpent) on the kitchen counter. The assistant's excuse, as the snake catcher writhes on the floor? "Sorry mate, they're nutty."
In a charming British interpretation, the statement introducing this ad says it appeals to the spontaneous, "ooh, go on then" side in everyone. So next time you're debating between cooking fish sticks or pouring yourself a bowl of cereal, say "ooh, go on then" in a British accent in your head, and see which meal appeals to you more. If you don't say Crunchy Nuts, you have no sense of true indulgence.
Credits after the jump.

Help welcome historic West Seattle totem pole to its new home: Log House Museum sets the dateMay 5, 2014 at 3:40 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
(First 2 images courtesy Log House Museum/Southwest Seattle Historical Society)
The date is finally set for a gala ceremony welcoming the former top-of-Admiral Way totem pole to its new home on the east side of the Log House Museum: Friday, June 6th.
Southwest Seattle Historical Society executive director Clay Eals announced the plan today, centering on a "public unveiling ceremony featuring public officials, the Duwamish Tribe, and the student bodies of both Alki and Schmitz Park elementary schools." Part of 61st SW by the museum (61st/Stevens) will be closed for the event, so that overhead photos/video can be recorded. You're welcome to be there and be part of it. The pole's history:
Carved by Boeing engineers Michael Morgan and Bob Fleischman from a log harvested from Schmitz Park, the totem pole stood at Belvedere View Point Park from 1966 to 2006. It is a nearly exact replica of a totem pole carved by the Bella Bella tribe of British Columbia and brought to Belvedere View Point Park 75 years ago, in 1939, by West Seattleite and Ye Olde Curiosity Shop owner J.E. "Daddy" Standley.
Recognizing the deteriorated condition of the 1966 totem pole, Seattle Parks and Recreation removed it in 2006 and replaced it with a differently designed and unpainted story pole carved by a descendant of Chief Seattle.
SWSHS's restoration and display plan has been in the works since then; the pole was taken to restoration experts Artech two years ago, as reported here. Its return will coincide with a new mini-exhibit called "Reaching the Sky: Totem Tales of West Seattle." You'll find lots more information about the June 6th event and the pole's history in the full announcement on the LHM/SWSHS website – see it here. Also, Eals will speak about it at this Thursday's monthly lunch meeting of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Holy Rosary School celebrates its first century, and looks aheadMay 4, 2014 at 9:13 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news, West Seattle religion, West Seattle schools | 1 Comment
(WSB photos by Patrick Sand)
For the second time in five years, a centennial celebration for Holy Rosary. In 2009, the church marked its 100th anniversary; today, the school. Students were part of today's Centennial Mass, with a special guest, Seattle's Archbishop J. Peter Sartain:
Honoring the past and looking to the future, the Mass was followed by a reception and events involving time capsules old and new:
That one was from a quarter-century ago, 1989; here's some of what was inside:
Archbishop Sartain and Holy Rosary's pastor Father John Madigan also presided as a new time capsule was placed:
This one is meant to be opened a half-century from now:
What's in it? That's supposed to be a surprise for the people who open it in 2064. Earlier centennial events included a group photo last November, featuring more than 400 students (see it in WSB coverage).

Log House Museum close to welcoming ex-Admiral totem pole homeApril 18, 2014 at 5:33 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
(WSB photo from April 2012)
Two years after it was bundled onto a flatbed and taken away for some expert TLC with the restoration experts at Artech, the Log House Museum's totem pole – which stood for 40 years at the Admiral Way Viewpoint – is finally close to its homecoming. The West Seattle Chamber of Commerce has announced an event on May 8th featuring Southwest Seattle Historical Society executive director Clay Eals detailing the plan to install it soon in its new home on the east side of the Alki-area museum; the plan's already gone through city review, including the Landmarks Board, since the museum is an official landmark. See photos of the pole's history, and a sketch of its future site, on the SWSHS/Log House museum website, here.

(Photos provided by The WROC-ers; above, Ms. Ostle's class)
Reunions aren't just for high-school classes! This morning, we have a special announcement – with photos – for a reunion of Gatewood Elementary alums who went there more than half a century ago:
*If you attended Gatewood Elementary with the Class of '56, reunite with your classmates on Friday, August 22nd. We will tour the remodeled Gatewood, then adjourn to Lincoln Park for a catered picnic. *
*In our day, Gatewood sixth graders went to either West Seattle or Sealth. Our 50th high-school reunions inspired us to reconnect with childhood friends from the neighborhood. The WROC-ers ('Woodies Reunion Organizing Committee) found addresses for 70 of the former '56ers. The first mailings are out, and the first RSVPs are in. *
(Mr. Acedo's class)
*If you can help locate missing classmates (see the list below) or if you, a '56er, haven't received a flyer, please contact Bruce Thomason, firstname.lastname@example.com*
(Ms. Covey's class)
*Mark August 22nd on your calendar in ink! We'd love to see you.*
*The WROC-ers: Margaret Cullor Brown, Beth Eldred Davis, Lyn Kraatz, Carol Shipley Stoner, Bruce Thomason*
They also sent a list of people they're looking for: "We have not found these friends from Gatewood." – if you're reading this from the WSB home page, click ahead to see the list:

West Seattle scene: Beach art rocks!March 28, 2014 at 3:57 pm | In Seen around town, West Seattle history | 6 Comments
Thanks to Judy Bentley for sharing photos of the rock art near the north end of Constellation Park, south of Alki Point. Earlier in the week, Patricia O'Connor's photo of the sun/star formation was shared on the WSB Facebook page; today, Judy's photo showed patterns beyond the sun/star:
As Judy put it – "artist unknown."
(P.S. Judy didn't mention this when writing to us but we happen to know she too is an artist – with words – and one week from today, on Friday 4/4, she's the next featured author in the Words, Writers, West Seattle series – details here.)
Followup: Farewell to former Fraker's Grocery at 4808 SW AlaskaMarch 26, 2014 at 3:16 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 7 Comments
That backhoe, recorded on video by neighbor Sara, brought the final chapter today to what once was Fraker's Grocery at 4808 SW Alaska, vacant and slumping for years, but the source of many warm memories, as discussed in comments on past stories:
We first reported last December that it was slated for demolition so a single-family home could be built.
The lot was split off from the house next door a few years back. Former proprietor Dean Fraker died in 2009 at the age of 87.

Duwamish Tribe tries again to get its cultural artifacts backFebruary 27, 2014 at 10:24 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news, WS culture/arts | 37 Comments
(Empty artifact case post-removal; 2013 photo courtesy Duwamish Longhouse)
The Duwamish Tribe says it's still trying to get its artifacts back. Last August, news emerged that the Port of Seattle was deciding the fate of artifacts found on historic tribal land that it now controls. Today, according to this news release sent by the tribe tonight, they received official confirmation their artifacts will be given to a tribe that unlike the Duwamish has federal recognition (something the Duwamish have long fought for). The news release is followed by the text of the letter to which it refers.
The Duwamish Tribe would like its cultural artifacts back. Last July, the Burke Museum was paid by the Port of Seattle to confiscate $800 worth of Duwamish cultural artifacts on display at the Duwamish Longhouse & Center. The artifacts were from the Duwamish #1 Archeological Site, an old Duwamish camp and village site across the street from the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center.
The tribe received a call from the Burke Museum today that the artifacts will be given to the Muckleshoot Tribe in Auburn.
Unknown to the Duwamish Tribe, 2 years ago the Port of Seattle declared that it wanted to surplus its archeological artifacts including those from the Duwamish Archeological Site #1 bordered by the Duwamish River and W Marginal Way SW.
How did the Port come to own the archeological artifacts? In the early 60's, the Port declared eminent domain, and bought out the interests of area residents to make way for the building of Terminal 107. Because of environmental issues, the terminal was never built. The area was also the site of the last original shoreline of the Duwamish River. As the land was being cleared, the Duwamish #1 Archeological Site was discovered and dug in the 1970's. The archeological site is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been set aside as a public park. The Port retains ownership of the site.
The Duwamish Tribe has sent a letter to the Port proposing to buy back its culture artifacts for display at the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center.
"It would seem that best public good & cultural value would be to continue to display the artifacts from this site at the Seattle location where they were found."
Ahead, the text of the letter mentioned above, included in tonight's e-mail to us from the tribe, carrying today's date:

Last chance to visit Log House Museum for a while! Temporary closure after this weekend, for new exhibitFebruary 21, 2014 at 2:50 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | Comments Off
(Photo courtesy Log House Museum)
Making weekend plans? It's your last chance to visit the home of West Seattle history, the Log House Museum, during its regular hours 12-4 pm Saturday and Sunday – after Sunday, it's closing for a few weeks to get a new exhibit in place. Southwest Seattle Historical Society executive director Clay Eals shares the announcement:
Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 15, 2014, for the opening of a new exhibit at the Log House Museum of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society.
The new exhibit is the second phase of a three-phase exhibit whose overall title is "Telling Our Westside Stories." The theme of the second phase is "Work."
The first-phase exhibit, with the theme of "Land," has been up since fall 2012 and will close on Sunday, Feb. 23. (Regular open hours are noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. The museum is located at 3003 61st Ave. S.W., one block from Alki Beach.)
To take down the first-phase exhibit and install the second-phase exhibit, staff will close the museum from Thursday, Feb. 27, through Friday, March 14.
The new exhibit will open to the public at noon Saturday, March 15. It will examine various types of work done over the years by residents of the Duwamish peninsula and their attitudes toward it.
Besides artifacts, photos and printed interview excerpts, the exhibit will focus on brief videos that tell stories visually in the museum's main gallery.
The bulk of the material generated for the "Telling Our Westside Stories" exhibits comes from interviews of community elders conducted by students at Madison Middle School and supervised by volunteers of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society.
Volunteers have transcribed the interviews, culled related images and combined interview excerpts and images into brief videos.
"Eliciting and preserving the stories of our residents is an important part of what we do," says Clay Eals, executive director. "It is straight down the middle of our mission to promote local heritage through education, preservation and advocacy."
The exhibit, curated by Sarah Baylinson, museum manager, is funded in part by 4Culture and the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
The Log House Museum is at 61st/Stevens, a block inland from the heart of Alki.
History lesson: Gatewood students visit the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion MemorialFebruary 19, 2014 at 9:05 am | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 9 Comments
Seventy-two years ago today, on February 19th, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the internment of more than 110,000 people in Western states, including ours, because they were from Japan or of Japanese ancestry. Before mid-winter break, students from Gatewood Elementary traveled to the historic site on Bainbridge Island formally known as the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial to learn about this. Teacher Darren Radu shared their report and photos:
We are students of Team Mt. Si at Gatewood Elementary. Over the past three months, we have been studying Japanese Internment during World War II. Did you know that as a result of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, many people were suspicious of perfectly innocent Japanese and Japanese Americans, who were then forced to move to internment camps? The camps were terrible places (many cabins were horse and cow stables!) for people to live and the Japanese did not have a choice about moving. Internment affected many residents and families from the Seattle area.
We took a field trip with our teachers Ms. Moran, Ms. Ott, and Mr. Radu to Bainbridge Island to visit the Japanese Internment Memorial. We visited the actual beach where many local Japanese and Japanese Americans boarded ferries that took them to camps. The Memorial helped us to experience what it was like to be in their shoes.
We also met our friend and amazing local artist, Steve Gardner, who showed us some of the ceramic sculptures he created for the memorial.
His work illustrates the lives of Bainbridge Japanese people before, during, and after internment.
We also worked with our teacher Colleen Moran to take a stand on the events of World War II by writing persuasive essays. It was important for us to learn about Japanese Internment because it helped us to learn from the past and to avoid making the same mistakes. We hope that other people will take the time to visit the Internment Memorial and continue to fight for justice, too!

It's been five years since the Duwamish Tribe celebrated the opening of its longhouse at 4705 W. Marginal Way SW – and you still have three hours to join the anniversary celebration. An open house continues until 5 pm; we stopped by for the noontime reception:
Those on hand included Cecile Hansen, who has served as the tribe's elected chair since 1975:
The story of the longhouse – the first one for the Duwamish people since their last one was burned down before the end of the 19th century – is told in this HistoryLink.org report. The story of the tribe can be explored both via its website and at the Longhouse/Cultural Center, which has regular hours as well as being open for special events like the one today.
'You don't know what you've got till it's gone': California Avenue SW historic-survey planJanuary 22, 2014 at 1:15 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 26 Comments

West Seattle Blog editor
Two brick buildings along California SW have been in the news here again recently - Charlestown Court (3811), up again for demolition:
And the former Admiralty House Antiques (2141), recently sold but NOT currently up for demolition, undergoing interior work:
As other development proposals turn up – and as large developments proceed, with 4206, 4730, and 5020 California underway in The Junction and 3210 California in the works for south Admiral – the question is often asked: Is anyone working to save anything before it's (almost) all gone?
The answer is complicated.

After 7-year reprieve, Charlestown Court again facing demolition for site redevelopmentJanuary 9, 2014 at 7:13 pm | In Development, West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 49 Comments
Going through the city's development files, we discovered another building with history is back in queue for demolition and replacement: The Charlestown Court Apartments at 3811 California SW (map).
We first wrote about the brick Tudor fourplex in 2007, when a mixed-use building was proposed to replace it. A landmark nomination ensued, and while it was deemed not worthy of landmark status, a new development proposal that emerged in 2008 would have raised and preserved the 1920s-built complex's facade.
2008, of course, was the year of the building bust, and the new plan went nowhere; the apartments have stood as-is ever since. Now, we find an early-stage proposal to tear them down and replace them with eight townhouses. The proposal – attributed to a Snohomish County firm – appears to have been in the city system just a few weeks, so no formal comment period has opened yet.
SIDE NOTE: Charlestown Court is right across California from the former Charlestown Café, where a 30-unit development of townhouses and live-work units is planned and makes its Design Review debut two weeks from tonight.

Goodbye, 2013! Top 11 most-commented WSB stories of the yearDecember 31, 2013 at 11:19 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 9 Comments
We originally drafted this story on Saturday, planning to finish and publish it on Monday. Then came The Big Power Outage, which now holds the title for "most-commented WSB story ever," passing the previous titleholder, coverage of the November 22, 2010, snow/ice-pocalypse. As was the case with both those reports, comments on WSB stories are more often about community information-sharing than about opinions or observations, whether it's a road report in a morning-traffic thread, or the simple "No power here/power's back on here" updates from Monday. That said, our one-and-only look back at 2013 proceeds, with less than an hour left until 2014. It's a Top 11 since we already had dug up the Top 10 before something new topped them all:
11: 'Private' fireworks display off Beach Drive, July 20, 2013 – 137 comments
10: Townhouses planned for ex-Charlestown Café site, June 4, 2013 – 143 comments
*Follow-up note: As reported here earlier this month, this project finally debuts at Design Review on January 23rd.
9: Impending opening of Bada Bistro, March 12, 2013 – 144 comments
*The announcement declared "We don't serve merlot." The discussion caught fire from there. The restaurant closed after less than five months.

West Seattle history: Long-shuttered ex-market to make way for new houseDecember 29, 2013 at 4:13 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle housing, West Seattle news | 23 Comments
Almost exactly six years ago – on New Year's Day, 2008 – we took a quick "past/present" look at 4808 SW Alaska, thanks to neighbor Bill pointing out its past identity as Fraker's Grocery. Today, the building is pretty much what it was at the time of that WSB story – vacant and rundown:
But its days are finally numbered. We're mentioning it today because our latest routine check of city Department of Planning and Development files turned up new applications for demolition and construction permits. A new single-family house is proposed for the site, which was separated from an adjacent lot in a land-use action three years ago. But it's noteworthy given its history, still hinted at by this shadow of a Coca-Cola sign on the south-facing window:
County records show the market's former proprietor, Dean Fraker, owned the site until 2001; he died in 2009. It was sold again two weeks ago to a real-estate-investment LLC.
West Seattle history: Husky Deli's new, 'old' signDecember 16, 2013 at 10:44 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
Something old is something new in The Junction today – that sign that's just gone up outside Husky Deli is a replica of the one that marked its location for more than thirty years. Husky proprietor Jack Miller gave us the heads-up it would be going up today; he told us in a quick video interview this morning that it's something he's wanted to do for a long time:
The sign is still being tweaked, and, as noted in the video, will be turned on tonight; we'll add "after" photos later. Read about Husky's history, from West Seattle 101, here.
P.S. Other local businesses have rediscovered their history – two and a half years ago, you might recall, we chronicled what turned up during Elliott Bay Brewing's facade remodel (commenters added lots of great information); also on that side of the street, early work at the 4730 California site turned up a sign from a long-gone business.

You might find a unique gift or two there, too – perhaps a "scenic" shopping bag.
West Seattle history: Alki Homestead listed for sale, againDecember 6, 2013 at 10:26 am | In Alki Homestead, West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 11 Comments
(WSB photo, taken this morning)
Thanks to Richard Hesik for spotting the listing and sending the link: Almost five years after the electrical fire that damaged and closed the historic-landmark Alki Homestead, it's listed for sale, again. It had been on the market before the fire; a year and a half afterward, owner Tom Lin said he would put it back on the market, but no listing ever appeared. He then engaged a team of local architects to pursue a restoration plan that went before the city Landmarks Board Architectural Review Committee four times (reports are in our archive of Homestead coverage) before the project went dormant. Now, the 110-year-old former Fir Lodge, a city landmark on a 14k-square-foot lot, is listed for $1,850,000, with Paragon Real Estate Advisors' flyer declaring that the Homestead is "now waiting for a new owner to bring it back to life and carry on the legacy," while also noting, "The list price does not include the cost of rehabilitation of the structure."

The Southwest Seattle Historical Society's Log House Museum is decked for the holidays – just in time for a wave of special events to roll into the Alki Beach landmark. Volunteers including Bonnie Gromlich, Debbie Neifert, and Kerry Korsgaard (above) spent the past few days decorating, with an eye toward Saturday, when the museum will offer cookies and hot apple cider on its spacious porch 4-6:30 pm in honor of the Christmas Ship's Alki visit (scheduled for 5:10-5:30).
Earlier on Saturday, you are also welcome at the museum for its monthly volunteer orientation, 11 am-1 pm – details here.
P.S. SWSHS has two other events ahead, though they're not at the museum itself – tomorrow (Thursday) night at ArtsWest (WSB sponsor), the Historical Society co-presents a free "On Stage" discussion about "Stories of the Civil War"; as part of the program, past president Judy Bentley will talk about "Free Boy," which she co-authored, telling the story of a 13-year-old slave who escapes. The discussion precedes tomorrow night's performance of "Little Women: The Musical," for which SWSHS members are eligible for discounted tickets good that night only. Full details on the SWSHS website. And 4-6 pm at Westwood Village Barnes & Noble, it's the SWSHS-co-presented "Words, Writers, West Seattle" author appearance featuring Nicole Hardy – as previewed here earlier this week.

West Seattle's Holy Rosary School is celebrating its centennial, and as part of that, its 460-plus students gathered today for a group photo in the church. That's our view of the big picture, above. Here's Carl Baber, the parent who served today as official photographer:
He had quite the task to wrangle 460-plus photographic subjects at once. But they got a treat after their historic pose – they were all allowed to make goofy faces:
We asked HR if they had a comparable all-school shot from sometime in the past hundred years. Answer: No; but for comparison's sake, here's a 6th-grade group shot from 1959:
And for a bonus view of history, an aerial (looking west-northwest, with 42nd SW in the middle, between church and school):

'Tapestry' of history and community celebrated at Southwest Seattle Historical Society galaNovember 9, 2013 at 6:48 pm | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news | 3 Comments

West Seattle Blog editor
A big year for the Southwest Seattle Historical Society culminated in a full house at Salty's on Alki (WSB sponsor) today – celebrating and hearing about the past, and raising more than $37,000 to help continue the organization's work into the future.
With executive director Clay Eals emceeing the event near the end of his first year leading SWSHS, the Champagne Gala Luncheon pulsed with attention-drawing events-within-an-event, from silent auction, to special guest speaker Dave Beck, to the inspirational speakers from the deep-rooted Hallberg family.
The nearly 200 people on hand included a long list of West Seattle luminaries, from entrepreneurs to civic activists to politicians present and past, including City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen and former Mayor Greg Nickels – but you didn't have to have a famous name to be part of the "tapestry."
The fundraising total came from not only tickets to the event and the silent auction, but also from a raffle, dessert dash, and special Fund-a-Dream cash-donation round.
It was more than a party – it was also a chance to gain knowledge, including a surprise declaration regarding the fate of the Alki Homestead:

RENTERS WANT A GREEN LIFESeptember 17, 2012 on 12:19 pm | In Green Building, Green Cities, Green Houses, LEED, Trends, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
by Jodi Summers
Fresh out of college and ready for adventure, Millennials have been flocking to the downtown Los Angeles urban core. They're looking for a lifestyle adventure before the responsibilities of marriage and family lead them to settle in. Experts point to several building trends that are very sexy to this demographic:
- 1. Green by Desire
Jill Heron chose her loft lease by Pershing Square because it's centrally located, with "access to just about everything. Lifestyle is important."
Proximity to restaurants, entertainment and mass transit is important to this group that is now out on their own and spreading their wings for the first time.
2. Green by Mass Transit
Today's new renters are a highly eco-conscious generation. Buses, trains and bike lanes are as important as cars to this green group.
Have you noticed the new transit villages that are being designed along the metro lines? They're quite European style in that you can shop, get your dry cleaning and do everything you need in close proximity to your metro stop and your home.
3. The Green Home
We live in a green age. City codes, tenants, builders and developers are all moving toward green design. The benchmark is LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficiency and Design) an international certification system which offers bronze, silver, gold, and platinum certification levels. Statewide we have the CalGreen Code, which is more like everytown's way of going green. And, individual cities – lead by the examples of West Hollywood and Santa Monica – have passed their own green building codes.
Less is more. There is a trend in small rental units, including micro-units and efficiency studios. These downsized units offer renters a more affordable, energy-saving housing alternative in dense neighborhoods, with shared multi-use spaces providing additional amenities.
Roof decks, atriums, the urban version of a vast front porch > common areas appeal to today's renters. In dense neighborhoods, where living space is at a premium, renters revel in shared multi-use spaces which provide additional amenities.
"The rooms provide an efficient living space for tenants who are 'on the go' and don't want the space (or expense) of a more traditional apartment," observes Sarah Hatfield of architecture firm S + H Works.
5. Specialized Green Amenities.
Solar power, bike storage, garden space, pet areas, fitness rooms and even Zipcar parking are just a few examples of lifestyle design features that designers and developers are implementing to meet renter demands. Pet areas go a long way with renters, and will lead to a consistent stream of tenants and their pets.

John Malone, the 70-year-old chairman of Liberty Media, is famously reticent when it comes to discussing his business life. There is, however, one subject that makes the Denver businessman open up: his personal land holdings.
Recently, he's had a lot more to talk about. In 2011, Malone became the largest private landowner in the U.S., wresting the top spot on The Land Report 100 from his friend and longtime business partner, Ted Turner. His decades-long rise to the top dates back to the 1990s, when Malone began acquiring land in Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. His land grab kicked into overdrive in the summer of 2010 when he purchased New Mexico's historic 290,100-acre Bell Ranch. In early 2011, he snapped up an additional 1 million acres of timberland in Maine and New Hampshire to become America's leading land baron. Malone says his lust for land harkens back to his Irish genes: "A certain land hunger comes from being denied property ownership for so many generations."
Why buy now? Malone says he was enticed by two trends: a drop in land prices and a decrease in the cost of borrowing. And though he says he operates his landholdings to break even, he also recognizes that real estate "is a pretty decent hedge on the devaluation of currency."
Comment by The Land Report — September 22, 2012 #
To LEED or not to LEED, that is the question. The government wants your green opinion > through April 6th. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking public comments on a long-awaited recommendation regarding green building rating systems. Go to http://www.gsa.gov/gbcertificationreview and share your opinion.

Dear Liz: I just turned 70. Must I draw now from my IRA? I still work full time. I heard from one investment company representative that since I work, there is an exemption that I may not have to start withdrawals. Is this true?
Answer: Withdrawals from retirement plans typically must begin after age 70-1/2. You can postpone withdrawals from your company's 401(k) plan past the typical required minimum distribution age if you're still working, but not from traditional IRAs.
"An IRA owner must commence distributions from an IRA by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the IRA owner turns 70-1/2," said Mark Luscombe, principal analyst for tax research firm CCH Tax & Accounting North America, "regardless of whether they are still working or not."
With 401(k) plans, required withdrawals can be delayed to April 1 of the year following the year you retire, unless you're a 5% or more owner of the business, Luscombe said.
It's important to get this right, since failing to make required minimum distributions triggers a tax penalty of 50% on the amount not withdrawn that should have been. The required minimum distribution rules apply to all employer-sponsored retirement plans, including profit-sharing plans, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and 457(b) plans, the IRS says, as well as to traditional IRAs and IRA-based plans such as SEPs, SARSEPs and SIMPLE IRAs. Required minimum distribution rules also apply to Roth 401(k) accounts, but not to Roth IRAs while the owner is alive.

I was 70.5 years old in 2013, and if I postpone the "minimum draw" from my deferred IRA until April 1st 2014, will the required minimum be based on 2012 December 31st values or 2013 December 31st values?
Hi, James. I'm not a tax pro and recommend any tax questions be discussed with one, or you can call the IRS. The IRS seems to indicate you use the Dec. 31 balance of the year prior to your distribution, which would be 2013. Either way, you would have two RMDs in 2014, which could have a dramatic effect on your taxes…all the more reason to discuss your strategy with a tax pro before you pull the trigger.

|I have a question about packing in jars. I canned beets a few days ago. I followed all the rules, etc. The last thing I did before putting the jars in the canner was: I put the beets and water in the jars, used a plastic tool (that removes air and measures headspace), got the air out of the liquid, wiped the rim etc.
How much do you "pack" the food in the jar? I was just looking at the jars and I see some empty space in some of the jars. I hope that makes sense? Do I need to post a pic of a jar? Headspace was correctly done, air removed, the lids sealed properly.
Is this any problem? How much or how firmly do you "pack"? Does it make any difference? Do you have to really jam it in hard? Would that break up or squish the produce, in this case beets? Or am I worrying too much?
Lids are sealed properly, all else looks good.
Thanks for your help.
Follow-Up Postings:
|It is always safer to under-pack than to over-pack. The contents need to be able to move freely in the jar.
With beets - whole or sliced? I put whole up to just below the jar shoulder and then fill with liquid. Sliced - less slices than whole - say well below the jar shoulder, and more liquid as you need all the slices to be surrounded by the liquid.
You just comfortably fill the jar, you don't "pack" the jar as in stuff it if you see what I mean. And with fine textured things like say kraut or even green beans you don't stuff, smush, press or any of the other type things. Many canning recipes will say "loosely fill".

|Hi Dave, thanks! I feel better now about it now.
I had beets from 2 different sources. One batch was small beets, the other batch was larger ones. I had to use both batches together to have enough to can. The small ones I just cut in half. The larger ones I cut some into slices and some into cubes. It just depended on how big they were and what shape. Some were regular red beets and some were gold and some were the red/white striped. I didn't think it would make any difference.
All were put in pint widemouth jars. Some jars had all small halves, some had larger slices, some had cubes, some had a mixture of all the above. I processed as per the directions and even added 5 more minutes just to make me feel a little more confident.
I ended up with 7 pint jars. I had some left which would have only filled about half of a pint jar, I started to put them in a half pint jar but instead just ate them with a fork, they were really tasty. If I had put them in a half pint jar and put them in the canner with the pints would that have still been ok?
Thanks for wading through my long questions, I really appreciate it. Gene

|Well, those should be interesting beets!
It's fine to process a smaller jar with larger ones as long as you follow the processing time for the larger size.
Try to be similar in the sizes of the pieces for the most consistent texture in the finished product. Like Goldilocks, not too small and not too large.
Either way, you're doing fine and congratulations on the beets!

HoopsHype Jason Maxiell rumors
Josh Robbins: The Magic, who will sign Jason Maxiell pending him passing a physical, see him as someone who can play PF and backup at C. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins
Vincent Goodwill: It's official. Jason Maxiell to Orlando. #Pistons Twitter @vgoodwill
Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent forward Jason Maxiell has reached agreement on a two-year deal with the Orlando Magic, league sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Maxiell, 30, will be a free agent this summer and likely has played his last game with the franchise that picked him in first round of the 2005 draft. Detroit Free Press
Pistons power forward Jason Maxiell is recuperating from eye surgery to repair a detached retina. He has missed the last five games and is out for the season. "He's hanging in there," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "He's in a little bit of discomfort, the natural pain of having surgery. Doing a little bit better every day and just trying to rest and just get right." Detroit Free Press
Jason Maxiell has probably played his last game with the Pistons. The team announced Monday before facing the Raptors that the 6-feet-7 power forward will miss the final eight games of the regular season because of a detached retina. He had successful surgery Sunday, but he will have to be away from basketball-related activities. Detroit Free Press
Jason Maxiell has started every game, for better or worse, and has one-third of a season left on his $5 million contract. He acknowledged recently that he wonders more and more whether he will enter free agency this summer as a Piston. It's his career, his life, his family's life. It could mean two moves in a matter of months if the Pistons trade him and he doesn't re-sign with that team. And the likelihood of the Pistons re-signing him when Drummond has to start offers yet another hurdle to him remaining with the team, plus it was at last year's deadline that Dumars thought he had a deal to send Maxiell to New Orleans for Chris Kaman. Booth Newspapers
With so many ending contracts, there has also been speculation that Detroit would seriously entertain trading some of their own ending contracts like Jason Maxiel or Will Bynum if it could return one of the would-be free agents on their wish-list. HoopsWorld
Utah's extra feisty and physical defense was a popular topic in the Pistons locker room, according to the Detroit News. Beat writer Vincent Goodwill described the Jazz as using "physical play (that) bordered on early-90's assault as they mucked up the game, preventing the Pistons from doing virtually anything on the offensive end." Forward Jason Maxiell: "They took advantage and hit us and we didn't fight back, got us into a hole." Guard Brandon Knight: "They punched us in the face and there was nothing we could do about it. "Instead of fighting back, we just kind of laid down a little bit." Deseret News
It's not just the 48 minutes of game time that can be overwhelming to young players – and Drummond isn't just a rookie, he's a rookie who just turned 19 less than a month ago – it's the entirety of the NBA experience, complete with an 82-game schedule and an arduous travel itinerary. "He has no idea," Maxiell said. "Not at all. He's going to start to find out in training camp. I tried to take it to him in Summer League practices. He asked questions and wanted to figure out things. It's going to be fast. There are things he has to get used to. He'll start to get there in training camp." NBA.com
With Maggette, Will Bynum, Jason Maxiell and Austin Daye on expiring contracts, the Pistons could be more active at the trade deadline as opposed to this summer, although by Dumars' comments, he hopes to be busy before training camp starts Oct. 1. Detroit News

Maxiell gave some thought to testing the free agent market, especially with the Pistons looking to add another young player to play next to Monroe, which could take away the forward's playing time in the 2012-13 season. Forgoing the $5 million in the effort to pursue a long-term deal wasn't worth the risk, though and he'll return for his eighth season in Detroit. Detroit News

As the Pistons continue to evaluate first-round talent for the June 28 draft, forward Jason Maxiell still hasn't decided whether to pick up his option for next season. Maxiell, 29, is due to make $5 million next season and is coming off one of his best seasons in years — as he stayed in shape and received consistent minutes next to Greg Monroe. He averaged 7.6 points and 5.5 rebounds after the All-Star break, at which point he became a permanent fixture in the starting lineup. Detroit News
His agent, Andy Miller, said he's still evaluating what kind of market there will be for Maxiell if he were to hit free-agency. The deadline for Maxiell to decide is June 30, the eve of free agency. Right now, Maxiell is in his hometown of Dallas with his wife and infant son. "I think we've made progress and we'll continue to do research," said Miller, who became Maxiell's agent during the season. "And we'll make sure to keep Jason up to speed about where we are. There are other markers." Detroit News
Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars would like to have power forward Jason Maxiell return next season. But as he put it at his season-ending media availability last month, the decision is up to Maxiell, who has until June 30 to let the team know whether he will pick up his option of $5 million.

"It's a player option so that's totally in his hands," Dumars said. "Obviously we'd love to have Max back. "I think clearly this was his best year. He was in the best shape of his life. He looked great." Detroit Free Press
