The problem surfaced one spring day two years ago when a maintenance worker noticed buckling concrete on a ramp in the north end of Sun Devil Stadium.
The worker told his boss, saying he feared the bump would pose a danger to wheelchair-bound sports fans at the 73,000-seat stadium.
Structural engineers examined the damage and quickly realized it was no simple crack. There were numerous cracks. And there was a much deeper problem beneath the surface.
The stadium was severely overstressed, engineers told Arizona State University, and would require emergency repairs.
The main culprit: Water.
When ASU's maintenance crew hosed down the stadium after games, water seeped through concrete, reached support beams and rusted them away.
The university rushed to repair the problems that posed the biggest risk before the 2005 football season started. Those repairs cost $10 million.
But the iconic, 49-year-old Sun Devil Stadium demands even more repairs today. Documents obtained through a Tribune public records request show engineers have recommended another $45 million to $67 million in repairs to replace beams and waterproof the stadium to avoid any more of what they characterized as "life-safety" issues.
One fix requires a procedure called "cutting the building into two halves" in the area where the maintenance workers first found the cracks.
The university plans to complete the repairs within three to five years. ASU officials don't know how to pay for the repairs, or where they'll find the money for up to $100 million in new amenities the university has wanted for years.
Time is working against the stadium. The rust is getting worse and will cause even more deterioration if left unchecked.
The costly damage could have been avoided if the stadium had been waterproofed when it was built, as is standard for many stadiums across the country. University officials said they're correcting mistakes that date back to 1958, when designers deemed that a stadium in the desert didn't need to be waterproofed.
The idea now is to avoid having to tear apart whole sections of the stadium to repair rusting beams in the future.
"We won't go back in there again," said Bruce Jensen, the interim director of ASU's capitol programs management group. "We learned our lesson."
ASU literally stumbled onto the problem in May 2005. Jensen recalls being called to the stadium after other ASU employees had requested a structural engineer to help figure out what was causing the cracks.
"We knew we had a problem," Jensen said. "We didn't know what it was or what the fix was."
ASU hired Phoenix-based Gervasio & Assoc., which found problems ranging from tripping hazards to "severely overstressed" parts of the structure.
Water caused most of the problems, but some cracks on the north-end resulted from ground settling and a design flaw. "The north end of the stadium requires one or more stress-relieving expansion joints that allow the structure to settle without buckling. That's part of the repair work engineers call "cutting the building into two halves.""
Some of the work had to be done by the time the 2005 football season started, so the university hired multiple crews to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
ASU devoted $1 million to repairs that began that summer. As crews started, they discovered more damage and the scope of the project grew significantly. Crews resumed work in January 2006 and completed those repairs in August.
The university did not cancel any events during that time because the remaining deficiencies were not an immediate danger, said Virgil Renzulli, ASU's vice president of public affairs.
Some parts of the stadium needed temporary bracing because steel beams had weakened so much. Rust had eaten away as much as half the thickness of some steel surfaces. Jensen said the public wasn't at risk, and the emergency repairs got almost no public attention.
"We would have closed sections," Jensen said. "We would have done something other than what we did."
The university initially sold the media a story that the problem was the result of beer-swilling Arizona Cardinals fans. The stadium didn't serve alcohol until the Cardinals started playing home games at the stadium in 1988, and maintenance workers had to hose the sticky suds away after each game.
But university officials now admit beer wasn't really the problem. Soda and other food meant that the stadium had to be hosed down after events in which beer wasn't served, said Mike Chismar, an associate athletic director at ASU. The additional nine Cardinals games a year simply accelerated the stadium's deterioration.
That's not, however, what the Arizona Board of Regents was told in December 2005 when university officials asked for more money to continue the repairs.
Regent Ernest Calderón said he didn't know the stadium was sprayed with water after every event. He recalled being told the hosing only happened after beer was served.
"Candidly, the beer issue wasn't something you'd forget," he said.
Calderón said it doesn't bother him that he was told a different story back in 2005 — as long as university officials fixed the problem.
"My angle is what can we do to prevent this from happening in the future?" he said.
Little to no drainage in some parts of the stadium contributed to the problem. The stadium, which originally had seats for 30,000 fans, underwent two massive addition projects in the late 1970s that more than doubled its capacity — all done without waterproofing the concrete floors or steal beams.
Waterproofing is more common now, Jensen said, but the stadium's designers figured the desert atmosphere wouldn't require the type of drainage and waterproofing required at stadiums in wetter climates.
The deterioration occurred slowly over the course of several decades, but ASU didn't realize it because the serious damage wasn't obvious.
While any fan can spot rust on beams and stairs throughout across the stadium, Jensen said the discoloration is superficial. The serious damage, he said, was hidden in places where water had seeped through concrete or pooled in out-of-the-way places.
"We would not have recognized the issue existed until it was pointed out to us," he said.
It took a maintenance worker concerned about a tripping hazard to alert the ASU brass that there was a problem.
Hammer-wielding engineers pounded away at cracked concrete to see if it would pop up easily and reveal weak spots and rust.
As long as the concrete stayed in place, ASU believed it was unlikely any severe rust was hidden underneath.
Workers cleaned off the rust in problem areas, welded new metal to the beams and applied an epoxy to the beams to keep water from penetrating the surface.
In some cases, that required lifting up entire concourses fans walk on to expose the support beams.
ASU officials said there was no way they could have known the stadium's poor drainage and lack of waterproofing would prove so damaging. They now admit the stadium should have been waterproofed years ago.
"The one thing we now know in hindsight that could have been done better is waterproofing," ASU's Renzulli said.
The 2006 repairs fixed the worst of the problems. And this spring, ASU spent about $800,000 to replace four severely rusted beams that support the north-end grandstand. Pictures taken by the engineers show scaffolding holding up the grandstand while workers replaced the beams. That phase of work is now wrapping up.
Gervasio & Assoc. recommended another $45 million in repairs. But that's if work starts immediately. Inflation and further deterioration could boost the cost of the repairs to $67 million if the university waits five years to finish the job.
A second engineering firm determined it might not cost as much. ASU hired Scottsdale-based PK Associates to review the Gervasio findings, and PK figured the first firm's estimate was about 15 percent too high.
A big part of the difference was a $9.6 million contingency to cover unknown issues once work begins. PK told ASU in an April memo that the contingency seemed high because much of the exploration and design work has been done.
ASU officials said they're not sure exactly how much work they'll have to do. Crews will determine the extent of deterioration once work starts, Jensen and Renzulli said, and it could turn out the engineers overestimated the amount of repair work needed. Firms often assume damage could be worse than initial investigations imply, Renzulli said.
"You can be sure they're taking the most cautious approach to everything," he said.
A Tribune review of the records shows the firms agreed on most major points. Because the recommendations were so similar, Jensen said he's not sure whether ASU needs a another opinion to see if more should be done — or if repairs are recommended that ASU considers nonessential.
"It would depend on what was being recommended and whether or not we felt we needed a second opinion," Jensen said.
One discrepancy in the documents came from PK Associates. An April 16 memo from the firm to ASU stated that rust is severe enough to be a "life-safety issue."
Jensen sent an e-mail to the engineering firm on May 21 to request clarification of that point. A PK executive replied later that day the matter wasn't as urgent as it sounded.
"What I was trying to indicate in the letter is that it appears that the deterioration of the structure is currently not a life-safety issue but will be if the items indicated are not repaired," the e-mail response stated.
The stadium likely will be safe for another 15 years, Renzulli said, but it will need more repairs if the university wants to use it for decades to come.
University officials want to modernize the stadium in ways that could prove even more costly than the essential structural repairs.
Fans and university officials have said for years they want to get rid of the metal-bleacher seats that often become scorching hot in the summer. They also want more restrooms and would like to modernize existing restrooms that have outdated features such as trough urinals in the men's rooms. The university also wants to expand and rebuild concession stands.
The stadium also needs new plumbing and electrical systems.
ASU has hired architectural firm HOK to propose stadium improvements and identify the costs. The St. Louis-based firm has designed numerous professional and college stadiums, including the new Arizona Cardinals stadium in Glendale. It's expected to turn over the report within weeks.
ASU hasn't figured out how to pay for the extra amenities, let alone the essential repairs.
University president Michael Crow formed a committee last month that will study possible renovations at all of ASU's athletic facilities, including Sun Devil Stadium. ASU has estimated that it will need to come up with $3.4 billion over the next few decades to build and repair its academic and athletic facilities.
Tax dollars generally don't pay for new buildings or major renovations at Arizona universities, so private donations will determine how much ASU can afford to spend.
"A lot of what we can do would depend on what you can raise," Renzulli said.
The City of Tempe is one possible source of funds.
But Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman was hesitant about giving the city's money directly to ASU. But he said he'd help lobby the Legislature for funds or to help ASU raise money.
He suggested ASU pay for stadium repairs with an estimated $45 million from the pending sale of university-owned land along the south shore of Tempe Town Lake. ASU is developing the Marina Heights project with SunCor, a firm that is also developing the adjacent Hayden Ferry Lakeside.
Tempe Vice Mayor Hut Hutson said he didn't know about the stadium's structural problems until earlier this month when contacted by the Tribune.
"I'm surprised nobody's contacted me," said Hutson, who is the chairman of Tempe's finance committee charged with studying a possible partnership with ASU.
Hutson said he'd like to see if Tempe can help, but he also had reservations about using city tax dollars on a state-owned facility.
Hutson has held season tickets to Sun Devil football games since 1970 and considers the stadium a "wonderful facility." But he said it's dated and needs a major renovation. "I'd sure like to see them do it," he said. "That place just comes alive when it's full. You can just feel the momentum that builds up in there."

Tucked away in the northern reaches of Helm's Hold, the Lair of the Mad
Dragon is a dungeon of epic battles and your first serious challenge.
Cloak Tower down? Check! Cragmire Crypts conquered? Of course! Now it's time to get ready to cut your teeth on your first true challenge in the game so far - the Lair of the Mad Dragon. The final boss in this dungeon is nothing short of brutal so pull up your britches and get ready to beat the hell out of the minions of Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells.
Unlike the other dungeons you've gone through so far, the Lair of the Mad Dragon has a very small window of opportunity in terms of using the queue to get a group. If you're between the levels of 30 and 35, you can use the queue system. If you're too high, you can still run the dungeon. You just need to gather a group and enter through the entrance in the northern parts of Helm's Hold (map location 1672, 1742).
There are three bosses in the Lair of the Mad Dragon and none of them are pushovers. You'll need to battle them in order.
First up is Mizreal Everdark. She may be cute in a horrific soul-sucking demon way, but don't let her good looks fool you into thinking she wants anything more than your death. She's a caster of no small amount of power and loves to set everything in sight on fire, including you. She begins the battle with two Blazing Skeletons but quickly starts summoning more and more groups of Imps. There are a number of ways to defeat her, but a solid strategy is to have everyone except the tank avoid her. The tank needs to keep her attention, while a Control Wizard takes care of both Blazing Skeletons from range. The Cleric needs to concentrate on keeping the tank alive with the final two members of the party keep the swarms of Imps off of the Cleric. Once the Blazing Skeletons are taken care of, the battle becomes pretty easy as the wizard then joins in the fight against Mizreal herself.
Next up is Baelrath the Vile. He's a massive Devil that likes to stomp and cause destruction in every direction. Even though he looks vicious, Baelrath is actually a pretty easy foe to defeat. Have the tank keep him occupied while the cleric keeps them alive. Everyone else can generally ignore the few adds that appear and concentrate on plucking away at Baelrath from as much distance as they can manage. Simply stay out of his AoE range and this battle will be over before you know it.
Remember the good old days when Mizreal and Baelrath were the worst you had to face in this old haunt of Asmodeus? Yeah, me too. Those moments are behind you now so get ready for the pain. And a long fight. Hit the head (use the lavatory), pop your potions, and get ready for the first big fight of the game.
Chartilifax is a little dragon, but packs a massive breath weapon, teeth, and claws. He loves to spray huge streams of poisonous gas that linger wherever he breaths. There will be long streams and sporadic circles of the stuff, so be prepared to move a lot. On top of this, there will be a constant stream of Hellfire Mages, Legion Devils, Erinyes, and Imps. Later on, a couple of Shocktroop Devils show up as well, just in case you were getting bored.
The Tank is the only one that should be on Chartilifax. The Cleric should be focusing solely on the tank. A Control Wizard should be guarding the Cleric and the two remaining party members need to do everything they can to keep the adds busy.
The Wizard should have Singularity loaded and ready to go every time they have enough Action Points to cast it. Rather than centering it on Chartilifax, place it in the middle of wherever the add train is. This will suck them all up, allowing some well-placed AoEs to make short work of the Imps and giving the other party members easy access to the stragglers.
If the Cleric goes down at any time, it is imperative all party members minus the tank attempt to get to them for revival. A live Cleric is the only way this battle ends with the death of Chartilifax rather than the rest of the party.
Be prepared for a long battle. It's going to be rough. You may even wipe a couple of times. As long as you have a Cleric and Guardian Fighter to tank, you can do this - it's just going to take some work.
And there you go. If you completed this dungeon and took down Chartilifax, congratulations! It really is something to be proud of. You would be astounded how many players have never seen his green scaly corpse lying at their feet. Well done. The experiences will serve you well as you prepare to enter the next dungeon, the Throne of Idris.

A study has found that the older version of the pertussis vaccine was more effective than the current one. The previous vaccine was phased out due to more side effects such as high fever:
Teenagers who received four shots with the older vaccine -- called whole-cell vaccine -- before they were 2 years old were significantly less likely to become infected with whooping cough during a recent outbreak in California, compared to children who received all of their immunizations with the new vaccines, called the acellular vaccine.
"Teens who were vaccinated with the acellular vaccine appear to have a six times higher risk of [whooping cough] than teens who received four doses of the whole-cell vaccine. And, the teens who received some whole-cell vaccine and some acellular had about a four times higher risk than teens who received all whole-cell vaccines," said the study's lead author, Dr. Nicola Klein, co-director of the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center, in Oakland.

So I've settled into my job here after six months, but now am being asked to create something to measure teacher performance by the classes they teach, and the results that come out of them. I've thought of using marksheets to do it, but it seems that it will be a rather large project, and take a decent amount of time to set up - and then will have to be compiled down in Excel.
So, prior to doing all of that, I thought I'd come ask you fine folks if any of you do this, and how you get around the clunkiness of assessment manager to do so?
Basically, for years 9 and 10 I have measure their TA from the fall against their Estimated GCSE in the summer (and then subtract 5.2/2.6 points from it) to get an idea if the student learned more, less, or just what they should have over the course of the year. 11, 12, 13 is a bit easier, as there are exam results to measure against, which I presume I'll get from Exam Manager (I've only been in this role for 6 months).
Any guidance would be appreciated, as I feel like I'm being thrown into the deep end.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Olie, Inc. (OTCQB:OLIED) announces that Avraham Morgenstern and Itai Freed have resigned as officers and directors for Olie, Inc. and Robert Gardner, Q.C. has been elected as the sole director and appointed the sole officer of Olie.
Mr. Gardner is the principal of the law firm, Gardner & Associates, of Vancouver, British Columbia. He is called to the Bar Society in England and Wales, and admitted to the Law Society of British Columbia, Canada. Mr. Gardner was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1988. Since January 1998 Mr. Gardner has served as a member of the board of directors for at least 15 different companies whose securities were traded in various public markets. As a result of Mr. Gardner's educational background, significant experience and career as a lawyer and extensive experience with publicly traded companies, Olie's former principals concluded that he should serve as a director of Olie. Neither Mr. Morgenstern nor Mr. Freed had any disagreement with Olie at the time of their resignations.
Olie also announces that an agreement has been executed between an investment group led by Robert Gardner (the "Gardner Group") and EnCanSol Capital Corporation of Vancouver, British Columbia which relates to the acquisition of EnCanSol by Olie and potential funding for Olie.EnCanSol develops and manufactures economical and environmentally responsible rechargeable battery products. Olie understands that EnCanSol is the owner of the technology for "Flat Plate RAMCells" for which it owns or controls approximately 25 patents worldwide. EnCanSol is a privately held company which Olie has been advised has 33,632,914 common shares issued and outstanding (including 4,000,000 shares issued following the acquisition last week of certain assets from Pure Energy Solutions, Inc., a private Delaware corporation based in Boulder, Colorado). The agreement provides that a share exchange will occur between the EnCanSol shareholders and Olie whereby they will receive two shares of common stock of Olie for each EnCanSol share held by an EnCanSol shareholder.

Drexel Teach-in for Peacebuilding
Date:17th September, 2013
The Drexel Teach-in for Peacebuilding was a half-day of hands-on workshops on diverse building blocks of peace. The teach-in was put on by a collaborative team of Drexel University units and partners including the Office of International Programs (Drexel), College of Arts and Sciences Center for Interdisciplinary Programs (Drexel), School of Education (Drexel), Office of Equality and Diversity (Drexel), Peace Day Philly, The Peace Center, and the Global Philadelphia Association. The five workshops, led by area experts, included:
- Mediation
- International Organizations and Human Rights
- Gender and Peacebuilding
- Peace Education
- International Conflict Resolution
The event took place in the James E. Marks Intercultural Center on Drexel's campus. The location was intentionally chosen because of the Perspectives on Peace photography exhibition that was on display during the program. Not only did the art provide a beautiful and thought provoking back drop for the workshops but the content provoked discussion on the role of different fields in the art and practice of peacebuilding.

Eleven Charlotte-area high school students are competing in the new theater criticism category of the Blumey Awards, the Blumenthal Performing Arts' annual musical theater awards program (read more about that here .) Each student writes three reviews; the following is one entry:
Being artists, performers have freedoms for self-expression that are out of reach for most people. Personally, I don't know what I would do if these outlets were taken away from me. Consequently, my March 17 assignment harped on just this idea. Based on the original screenplay by Dean Pitchford, "Footloose" is the edgy musical of Chicago new kid Ren who, along with his single mother, tries to find his place in a small religious town. And the worst part: dancing, Ren's passion, is illegal. With an Oscar and Tony Award-nominated score, "Footloose" uses the captivating story of a middle-class teenager struggling without his father figure coupled with a free-spirited preacher's daughter to prove to the world that youth culture has real issues to overcome. It speaks of fairly distributing authority, celebrating individuality, and respecting youth while keeping an audience on their feet with a rocking soundtrack.
I was very excited to attend this particular musical for several reasons. For starters, I have competed with Northwest School of the Arts for several years and I looked forward to viewing "Footloose" from a non-competitive perspective. Also, many of my friends were in this show and I always love to watch them perform. Finally, "Footloose" just happens to be my favorite movie musical and I hadn't seen it live onstage. Thus, with pencil and pad in hand, I set off for the beautiful Halton Theater with gusto.
It was no surprise to see that this school would be a strong Blumey contender given their dance ability. What amazes me about NWSA is their natural confidence in musical theater and dance performances. Their dance program is phenomenal; you ask them to do a pirouette, they ask you how many. The problem with this confidence, however, is that one can fall short of dancing full-out when performing a show. Several times during the performance, there was a serious lack of "showface" that turned this audience member off. The occasional muted facial expressions and lack of physical passion made me wonder if some dancers neglected to think about the purpose behind the dancing.
I close with some constructive criticism. As effective a dramatic pause is for the audience, I often wondered if lines were dropped or the pace simply needed to be picked up. Speaking of pace, much of the acting seemed to stay at a static level. Not that this level was boring, but I would have liked to see more ranges beyond normal speaking and shouting during the fighting scenes.
Thus was my experience from NWSA. One hears many glory stories of the young performers from the school, but I encourage you to actually go and see an NWSA show for yourself. All around our community, evidence of the talents of these innovative students shines bright on stage, and backstage. Kudos to Northwest School of the Arts for another fantastic show!

.- Operation Rescue has purchased the building that housed Central Women's Services, an abortion clinic in Wichita. The building will be renovated and serve as Operation Rescue's headquarters; it will also feature a memorial to the pre-born.
Operation Rescue learned in late April that Central Women's Services had not been able to pay its rent for months and that the property was for sale. It made an offer on the building through a third party, and stipulated in the real estate contract that the current tenant not be retained.
Central Women's Services later came up with the back rent and asked to continue its rental agreement under the new owner. However, the clinic was forced to close because the property was under contract.
"We have no doubt that if we had not moved quickly to buy that building, this abortion mill would still be in operation today," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue.
The clinic had operated at the current location for 23 years. An estimated 50,000 babies were aborted there.
Operation Rescue had previously purchased an empty lot behind Central Women's Services and placed a large billboard sign there, warning women of the dangers of abortion.
Since the clinic is now closed, Operation Rescue has donated the lot to A Better Choice, the crisis pregnancy center next door. Plans have been made to turn the lot into a park.
The grand opening of the new Operation Rescue headquarters is currently being planned.

Hello all you Yakksters, as you all know, Big Brother 11 is just around the corner but seeing as the Chenbot has a fresh bun cooking in the oven the question is, just how long will Big Brother 11 be? How long will it last? Never fear, Yak Nicholson is here and he's done some sleuthing……..remember, all work and no play makes Yak a dull boy! So again, just how long will Big Brother 11 last?Details
Yes, it was this week, towards the end of May, that the Big Brother cast finalists were called. In the first week of June, there was an article in TV Guide talking about the new houseguests we had to look forward to. More commercials started to roll through June. End of June, we began hearing the insider info on the hamsters, the final decisions are already made and those who made it in get the call, and shortly thereafter, "press day" arrives and we get to get to see the hamsters themselves.Details
Thank you to http://www.welovebigbrother.com… here is the very first Big Brother 11 commercial!Details

And so another summer is apporaching, which for all you reality tv fans means one thing…..IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR BIG BROTHER!!!! With the excitement building and Yakkity Yaks ramping up for our inaugural Big Brother season, we thought as staff we'd reveal the changes we'd like to see on Big Brother 11. Not that they're likely to happen BUT as die hard fans/live feed updaters/ Big Brother net nerds, we are truly devoted viewers who have seen what we thought worked and definitely didn't work.

text: Obviously I asked Tom Broeckner, the costume designer for Saturday Night Live, exactly how to get the best Stefon costume on the block. He told me you'll need "long sleeve tattooed arms, a green short sleeve Ed Hardy T-shirt, black skinny jeans, black motor cycle boots, and a clip in long bang for hair." [Ed. Note: Now we know what Stefon was wearing on his bottom half!] You get bonus points if you find someone to dress up as Seth Meyers and kiss you. Pretty Little Liars costume designer Mandi Line explains the key to dressing as Aria, "You need some kind of striped top, skirt, jacket--anything striped will do, a big feathered earring, fishnets, and more accessories than you know what to do with! I wanted to be Aria [for Halloween] once and I thought, 'I'll put as many accessories on as I own.' Exaggerate the person--that's the best way to get your point across! And you'll need huge huge tall tall boots or heels, anything by Jeffrey Campbell! And of course a sticker that says, 'I still love Ezra.'" To channel your inner Mindy Kaling--er Mindy Lahiri--wonder if everyone you know is hanging out without you and get these essentials recommended by costume designer Salvador Perez: a brightly colored long sleeve blouse, a colorful sweater vest, a mini skirt, large colorful earrings, and a cross body Chanel bag. Don't forget to convince your bestie to go as Dr. Danny Castellano too. We can't gurantee that your Ellen impersonation will be as funynas Kate McKinnon's on Saturday Night Live--OK, it probably won't be--but we can tell you what SNL costume designer Tom Broeckner thinks you should wear: "a white button down, dark wash jeans with a small cuff, low top white Converse sneakers, striped socks, a dark skinny tie worn loose, and either a menswear tailored vest or a navy blue crew neck sweater." Be sure to practice those dance moves too. close 0 lights. camera. action. get ready for your close up with our favorite tv-inspired costumes. by : steff yotka facebook tumbler mail pintrest

The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street: May 13
1. Comcast: Turning Enemies Into Friends
The mind reels. Coincidentally, it reels in perfect synchronicity with the revolving door in Washington D.C., where an FCC commissioner has accepted a job with Comcast (CMCSA) -- less than four months after voting to approve its merger with NBC Universal.
Meredith Attwell Baker, a Republican from Texas, will be leaving the Federal Communications Commission next month, when her term ends, taking a spin through that door and sitting down almost immediately in what is surely the plushest of leather seats behind the desk belonging to NBC Universal's "senior vice president for governmental affairs." That's perfect: Although she signed an ethics pledge upon her appointment by President Barack Obama two years ago that complicates or slows her lobbying co-workers at the FCC or other agencies, she's free to go after members of Congress.
The job swapping between politics and lobbying happens with such regularity that it takes something extraordinary to draw the kind of attention Attwell Baker is sure to get, if only because it also focuses attention on Obama, who's probably smacking his forehead or grinding his teeth in remembrance of Obama the candidate swearing to "close the revolving door."Instead he's inadvertently given the world a new standard for sleaze. While Attwell Baker was in office for a couple of years and her legacy included fighting against Net neutrality -- Comcast is the nation's largest provider of residential broadband Internet -- and for the Comcast merger. (It was a 4-1 vote, with only Democrat Michael Copps resisting.) Michael Powell, former chairman of the FCC, was quick to offer praise, though, in a statement released Wednesday with alarming promptness. "Meredith has been a great friend for many years and an outstanding public servant, as she has served with honor and integrity," said Powell, who after his time with the FCC became president and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, an industry lobbyist.

So, Vikram Bhatt appears smitten by his rather good-looking heroine of the horror flick "1920". He has given her yet another film titled "Phhir", a story revolving around karma, with two other actors Rajneesh Duggal and Roshni Chopra. "Adah's character is very complex. After seeing her performance in my movie, I couldn't think of taking anyone else," says Bhatt. This director had similar views on Amisha Patel earlier, right? Good going.

Here is what Dan and Brenda would like to do in Gardiner, but it also applies to all neighborhoods in Maine that would like to build more community connections with many partners:
"We have been reading the Gardiner "Heart and Soul" action plan, and we think a potluck will help us to reconnect with our neighbors and to welcome them to the Timebanking community, and also to provide us the opportunity to discuss their concerns about the future of Gardiner and the network of services and opportunities to volunteer that exist due to the Heart and Soul process, and from Timebanking in Maine as well.
We would like to follow up with more gatherings in the coming months, and help to build a community network that looks out for each other and helps find ways to improve our community in ways that benefit us all."
We are very grateful to Dan and Brenda for offering their home in the coming months for regular gatherings, and we hope that other members will also be willing to host gatherings in other neighborhoods in Maine.
Shared Blog: The Importance of Mini-Golf
The Director of T.I.ME, Stacey Jacobsohn, often blogs for TimeBanks USA, sharing her thoughts and dreams for the Timebanking Movement. This blog explores the act of building Family through Timebanking and how play is Good Work…
by Stacey Jacobsohn, Director of Time Initiative of Maine (T.I.ME)
Until three weeks ago, I'd never played mini-golf with wheelchairs. My childhood was filled with many good times at the sport: my mother cackling when she got a hole in one, my brothers sparring when one hit the other's ball, knocking it out of contention, and endless laughing. As the youngest of four, I learned how to lose without crying. We sometimes threw out the score sheet when things got too ugly. We learned about healthy competition and cooperation, giving advice on how to make it past the deadly windmill or waterfall, always ending with an ice cream sundae or a chili dog. They were good times, and we never worried about how silly we looked because everyone looked silly.
So, going out with Timebankers to play mini-golf seemed like a fun thing to do on a Saturday, but not monumentally important. It was arranged by Sarah (not her real name), who lives alone but has close ties with family in Maine. Sarah has post-polio syndrome, diabetes, and a host of medical conditions that would fill a novel and confuse many a doctor. She is dependent on a power wheelchair to get her around, which is one reason we picked mini-golf, because it is just around the corner from her and it has a nice ice cream place with lots of flavors, including low-sugar options. Her daughter, son in-law, nieces, cousins and other family came with us, some unofficially adopted when they fell on tough times. Her family was always inclusive to whoever needed help, taking in stray children like cats. They certainly felt like family to me, maybe even more so, because my family doesn't understand why I chose to lead a Timebank and work without cash involved. In the Timebank, everyone loves me without conditions.
I brought another Timebanker with me to join the family—we'll call her Anne. Anne is also in a wheelchair, due to cerebral palsy and scoliosis, living at a residential care facility. She is a tiny thing, told by many a doctor that she would never live past her twenties, yet here she is at age 53. Her family life until now has been filled with pain. Most of them no longer even speak to her, considering her persona non-grata, denying her very existence. Their loss—she is a beautiful person filled with love for all creatures on this Earth. Her daughter is the only one who ever calls her but usually ends up asking for money, not comprehending that her mother now lives in a facility and receives only $40 in free cash per month, the rest going for her care.
It was a sun-filled afternoon in July, the sky a singing blue that only occurs when the air breathes from Canada, clean and dry; I pray every day for that air, threatened by unbridled capitalism and unrelenting thirst for tar sands sludge. I wonder if other Mainers know how fragile that blue sky is, and how it brightens crossing the state line at Kittery. My heart always leaps when I see "All Maine Points" centered through my windshield. As a child growing up in the San Fernando Valley in California, I stared in awe at the blue sky when we first visited Maine, looking for a home. It had always been a hazy green for me. And, once in Maine I could run great distances without breaking down in a fit of coughing. The air in Maine is my life breath.
In joy, I commenced to play mini-golf with two in wheelchairs and the family, includinga 1 ½ year-old boy who stole the balls from the tee before we could hit them. Score cards were out. I maneuvered Anne with a manual chair while Sarah pivoted her power chair with assistance to avoid stones around the narrow paths, and they teed off Polo style. If a shot was out of their reach, they assigned a proxy to complete the round. When Sarah got a hole-in-one, we all hugged; I noticed the attention we were getting from the family behind us, smiling. When Sarah couldn't fit her power chair safely on one path, we had to skip the hole, and the mother of the family behind said to me, "They should make this wheelchair accessible—how hard would that be?" I answered, "They don't even think of it, usually. Most people don't, until they are in a wheelchair. I learn more every day." She thought for a moment, laughed and said, "Well, it's great to see you all having so much fun!"
After the game, we enjoyed a dizzying array of sweet delights from the ice cream stand. Sarah found a frozen yogurt with berries and no added sugar, to her contentment. As the light began to slant at the end of the day, we all glowed, hugged, and said our goodbyes. I drove home with Anne, basking in the day, thinking about all the times I had played the sport but never in this way, and of families that have enjoyed mini-golf together, knitting them in a way that no video game can.
Anne was bubbling with joy, saying she'd never had more fun in her life, and that she felt like part of the family in a new way, not just as part of Sarah's family, but the whole Timebank. I spoke a little about other mini-golf parks I'd visited, from the indoor black lit course on Prince Edward Island to large courses in California with elaborate dinosaurs and trick shots.
Her face darkened and her voice lowered. She said, "I need to tell you something. I have never played mini-golf before in my life. My family did. They were ashamed of me, of how I dragged my legs behind me with a walker, making everyone stare. I embarrassed them. So, when they went out to play mini-golf, or go to the movies or out to eat, they locked me in my room. And that's where I stayed until they got back."
I nearly drove off the road, wanting to look in her eyes, hold her, pour out my love. Fighting back tears, I told her that I found it hard to understand a family that would do such a thing, but I knew they existed. She said, "When you first met me, you looked at me like a person. You didn't look at my disability. No one has ever done that, especially my family. What the Timebank does is make a new family that loves everyone for what they can do and who they are, not what they can't do as if they aren't even a person. That is what I love about Timebanking, and why I will always be a Timebanker. I'll do anything to help the Timebank, because it's a part of me now that makes me feel loved and accepted and like I belong, and I've never felt that before."
I am in love with Anne and Sarah, her family, my family for showing me love, and my Timebank for showing me the importance ofGood Work. It is what drives me to keep building networks and keep meeting new people, and finding new ways to connect as family. Family is an institution that is under siege. We hurt our families when we put them in terms of money. If we can think so little of family members because they are not valued in the marketplace, if we can think of our sisters, brothers, and daughters as less than human, what will stop us from thinking the same of our neighbors, community, nation, and the needs of our planet? As a species, without consideration of our family and the assets we ignore, we are doomed. If we continue to live without regard for others, we will all suffer. For me, Timebanking is about ending that suffering, of building the family from within, of creating beauty. I do it in the name of love–unconditional love. When I think of Timebanking, my heart soars; that is why I continue, and why I play mini-golf with wheelchairs.

Ideas for dinner
Does anyone have any ideas for some chicken and pork dishes that have little to no sugar at all.. or even some ideas for ground beef or ground pork? I am really getting sick of my recipes as I think i may be over doing them and need some kind of inspiration to get creative in the kitchen again.
There are tons of recipes already posted in the recipe forum; did you look through it at all? Tons! http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...recipes-menus/
Also; Linda Sue's site is very popular. Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home
I have a spice mix I use on hamburger, sorta taco seasoning I really like, and I'm pretty sure I found it on these boards, if you search. I did a round of hCG, and had to get really creative with spices and seasonings to keep things interesting.
For my seasoning, it is chili pepper (lots), italian seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and maybe some chili flakes or cayenne. May be more, but it's really just to taste. it's great on hamburger and I bet would be good on chicken too.
I'm am a strictly NO SUGAR gal, so I understand making things more interesting and the challenge it can be. I use stevia as my sweetener, and make a teriyaki type marinade for my chicken breasts and grill them, with bragg's liquid aminos, stevia, apple cider vinegar maybe? and garlic. I marinate in lemon juice and spices/pepper as well, basically I google and use my imagination lol. You'll be surprised how creative people get without sugar!
I also add no sodium broths to lots of things, cook fish in tin foil with broth, curry, garlic and onion in the oven... when I couldn't use fat, now I would just add it!
Doing hCG and being so limited taught me to be creative and use more spices and seasonings and experiment. :)
ntombi- while there were definitely some delicious looking recipes there a lot of the ones i saw had more carbs or sugar then i would like to have in my food at this point. I'm sure there were a lot that didn't as well that i just hadn't seen. I guess i will just have to go through all the threads. I will check out linda sues site as well thanks.
Avy- i'm normally pretty good in the kitchen but I really like to mix it up and when i wasn't on this diet it was a little easier to do so. I make almost an identical seasoning mix. :) I may have to try using google or allrecipe. com to look up some recipes. I can't believe i didn't think about that. Thanks!!
My favorite right now is chicken with cream cheese, and spinach. Chicken stuffed with pepper jack and spinach wrapped in prosciutto, chicken w/ low carb curry sauce and greens. If you happen to have a trader joes near you they usually have a pretty good selection of produce that you might not find otherwise.
I don't eat much ground beef but if you had shredded beef you could scramble some eggs and throw some shredded beef in, or the other night we had shredded cabbage, carne asada, avocado, cilantro and cheese.
Nancy- Those all sound delicious. Thanks for the ideas
Check out Linda Sue's website...she has great recipes and notes which are induction friendly.
Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home
Check out my website some time. Lots of chicken and pork recipes there. Don't know what might appeal to you.
Here's two chicken recipes that are really yummy.
I just made this recipe but I didn't use the peppers or cayenne. I also didn't use a spicy sauce, but a low sugar pizza sauce. It was really good!

HoopsHype Mascots rumors
Denver's favorite mountain lion is in the doghouse. Unbeknownst to the Denver Nuggets organization, mascot Rocky was at the Colorado Republican rally Monday and evidently didn't check with his bosses at Kroenke Sports Enterprises about it. Nuggets marketing manager Graham Wincott, who handles Rocky and his appearances, said the team's mascot showing up at the GOP event was "an unsanctioned, unpaid appearance that we had no knowledge of." Denver Post
Quixem Ramirez: The Coyote was named the NBA's Mascot of the Year. And the Spurs keep on Spurs-ing. Twitter @quixem
Zach Lowe: Actual news: Nets have informed their mascot he will not return next season, may place Brooklyn Knight character on hiatus...or worse. To be clear: this is not about the person who plays the mascot. Hearing this is about dissatisfaction with the Knight character. Twitter @ZachLowe_NBA
When the Charlotte Bobcats officially become the Hornets on Tuesday, Bobcats mascot Rufus Lynx will be out of work. Raleigh News & Observer
Along with the return of the Hornets name, Hugo will also return as the team's mascot. But before Rufus joins other retired mascots – the Seattle SuperSonics' Squatch, Montreal Expos' Screech, and Atlanta Thrashers' Trash, among others – the Bobcats released a retirement video.

Are the Nets going to re-design their mascot? It's not clear yet, but on Grantland writer Zach Lowe's "The Lowe Post" podcast, he drops a potentially juicy nugget about the future of the Brooklyknight -- and a big star that might re-design it. At around 52:30 in the podcast (listen here), Lowe says he's heard (but not quite confirmed) that the Nets have considered a re-design for their universally panned mascot, and have reached out to late night television host Jimmy Fallon for his input (along with Marvel Comics) on a new look. The Brooklyn Game
Well, that sounds pretty intriguing, but a Nets insider dismissed the rumor. "Someone is spreading nasty rumors," said the insider. "He is here to stay!!!" NetsDaily
The NBA's favourite mascot returned to the hardwood Sunday, showing no sign of the injury that had kept him out all season. After tearing his Achilles while doing back flips at a pre-season event in Halifax last fall, the Raptor spent 5 ½ months watching from the sidelines and undergoing gruelling rehab. But the much-beloved Dino was back at the Air Canada Centre Sunday afternoon for Toronto's win over the Atlanta Hawks. Toronto Star
Kevin Vanderkolk, the man who plays the Milwaukee Bucks' mascot, Bango, is stepping down at the end of the season, a team source said.

The Raptor is coming back. Raptors head coach Dwane Casey broke the news Friday that the team's injured mascot would return soon. "We have a personnel guy returning. The Raptor is coming back March 23rd," Casey said before the game against the Memphis Grizzlies. "He won't be full strength, but he will be back. I wanted to make that injury announcement."

This photo of Pierre the Pelican after his 'surgery' is terrifying For The Win
Credit the New Orleans Pelicans for devising a clever way to rid themselves of what many perceive to be a terrible mascot problem. Even if just about everybody paying attention saw right through their ruse to completely re-design the terrifying Pierre the Pelican mascot in the days leading up to New Orleans' hosting of the 2014 NBA All-Star weekend. Yahoo! Sports
The New Orleans Pelicans' mascot is getting a makeover. The team announced Monday that Pierre the Pelican will have reconstructive surgery for "a broken beak," which it reportedly suffered after running into a basket stanchion during a game with other mascots. [...] Grantland's Zach Lowe reported on Jan. 22 that New Orleans would re-design the mascot's head to make it "less scary." The Pelicans unveiled Pierre on Oct. 30, 2013, the team's first game as the Pelicans. ESPN.com
The New Orleans Pelicans are giving their much-maligned mascot, Pierre the Pelican, a makeover. The mascot has come under heavy scrutiny and been the butt of jokes since his debut in the season opener Oct. 30 vs. the Indiana Pacers. Pierre's appearance has drawn national attention, for all the wrong reasons. He's been panned as a poor man's knock-off of the famed San Diego Chicken and ridiculed for not looking like, well, a pelican. New Orleans Times-Picayune

My most fun game was Emerald, and that's solely because of its wicked battle frontier. It was such a great, fun challenge trying to tailor teams to beat the brains, that would still do well against the rest of the trainers. (That was also the only time when I had actual local friends who played Pokemon as well...)
Other than Emerald's battle frontier, though, the most fun overall game has to have been White.
