A change has come and it's deep
Demographic change requires attitude changes.
Seattle Times staff columnist
Demographics defined Tuesday's presidential election, and demographics have something to do with the impasse that will continue between the president and the Congress as they confront deep budgetary challenges.
Some divisions are clear on the surface. Mitt Romney was almost entirely dependent on white votes while President Obama won with a majority of minority votes and the support of white voters, particularly women and young people in urban areas. But something even deeper is at play and understanding that may offer a path to less divisiveness.
Jack Turner, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Washington, believes that some of our ideals got tainted early in our country's history and rescuing them would make us a better country.
During fights over the budget and throughout the campaign, the idea of individualism kept coming up. The claim that "I did it myself" versus the idea that we all help each other.
We heard that some people are hardworking and deserving while others — the 47 percent — aren't. What should be a legitimate argument over government spending becomes a fight over the worthiness of different Americans.
Turner recalled that in the aftermath of Obama's first election four years ago a chorus of media and political voices chanted "no more excuses." They said it was time for blacks and Latinos to stop complaining and take care of business for themselves.
That attitude ignores the challenges that many Americans still face, and it ignores the ways in which people who see themselves as independent benefit from government and from social advantages. That way of thinking is deeply rooted in the country's history.
Turner argues in his new book, "Awakening to Race: Individualism and Social Consciousness in America," (The University of Chicago Press) that individualism in a democracy doesn't mean every man for himself. It means taking responsibility for yourself, but it also should mean every person taking inventory of himself and his role in hindering or helping to fulfill democracy's promise.
Turner writes that the ideals of individualism and self-sufficiency are used as excuses for inaction, especially in the face of inequality. When our democracy was young, white men defined themselves as self-sufficient individualists. Dependency was for slaves. Those definitions became part of people's sense of identity, a group identity, not really individual at all.
If white represented one thing, then black had to represent the opposite. That explained and justified undemocratic treatment of people who were not white, and some of that lingers still.
Turner told me he spent his early years in Fort Worth, Texas, and wondered about the lives of the black people who worked for his family and who, at the end of their day, would go home to black neighborhoods. Why were their lives so different?
Turner said his father and grandfather were out-and-out racists, but that his mother "urged me to see black people as having the same hopes and aspirations as I had," and as deserving of a life as good as his.
"As a white man, I can apply to any job and not worry I might not be given fair consideration because of race," he said, but there are numerous strong social-science studies that show that African American's and Hispanics do have to worry about that. Turner writes, "By simply ignoring America's racial organization, upstanding white citizens can be on the winning end of job discrimination, school and housing segregation, and anti-black cultural symbolism while feeling perfectly innocent."
Moving forward requires citizens across the political spectrum to make a decision not to be complicit in continuing inequality, he said.
"It's not a matter of fault," Turner said. "It's a matter of responsibility."
Rapidly changing demographics mean nursing a sense of white superiority is not sustainable as a political strategy. Welfare-queen speeches, Willie Horton ads, food-stamp-president comments have increasingly limited appeal.
"We have an America undergoing vast changes," Turner said, "and we have to learn to deal with it in mature ways."

Crack down on Holy Smokes!
There has been much concern surrounding Holy Smokes, more commonly known as Murder Mark, Crack Stop or Smoke Shack, located at 36th and Baltimore beside the Alps. This convenience store is a thorn in the side of the KCPD, selling beers by the can and being a common drop spot for drug sellers and users. The KCPD needs to crack down, the City needs to be aware and check permits, and the owners of this building also need to be aware as to our displeasure surrounding this institution. This petition will be submitted to the City, KCPD and the Owners of the store so that they may all be aware of our concerns and address the issue accordingly.

Acoustic rhythmical intervention on soccer
Should football players hear music while passing on the ball, and should they hear the same music within a team even in total synchrony? Will the passing benefit from common music hearing in terms of enhancing the rate of passes in general and the rate of succesful passes in particular?
The research project 'SoundSoccer' explores potential effects of musical synchonisation on running and passing behavior within a team.
Does the cooperation within a team benefit from musical synronisation in terms of 'joint action' in the auditory domain? Wireless transmitted and precise synchronised music could work as a common time base, enhancing the timing precision also between subjects and provoking distinct running cadences and may also lead to spontaneous rhythmical couplings. Tempi of music pieces are selected with reference to typical running cadences in soccer at about 110-160 bpm and will be changed to provoke tempo changes, variations of rhythms, dribblings etc.

RE: Lets See Some Garden Photos! (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: celestialrose on 10.02.2007 at 11:40 pm in Rose Gallery Forum Hi there.....
I have a problem with getting much of my garden into a photo because it is so huge and full of roses that I tend to take shots that will fit into a photo. Thats why I tend to concentrate on single bushes rather than the entire garden. (I wish I had a camera that took panoramic views.) I can offer only partial shots but maybe they will give you something in the way of inspiration. Good luck on your garden and never, ever give up! Celeste I make my own garden markers to identify each rose...(not for me, for visitors....I know ALL my roses!) I made my own stepping stones out of cement, polished stones and colored glass pieces..... I have numerous arches which feature roses as well as clematis.... a few statues, here and there are nice..... NOTES: <none>

This is my first Recipe post, so bear with me. In a year of AG, this is the favorite recipe i have come up with. Simple, crisp, and delicious. I'm sure others would be able to tweak it, but if you want a starting point for a decent Black India Pale Ale, here it is. I wanted a black colour with little-no burnt flavour, so used carafa II (dehusked), added only to the last 15 min of the mash. You can see that it is almost completely black. If you hold it up to a strong light, a rosey deep mahogany colour shines through. Usually a 1.014 FG would be sweeter than my preference... but there are lots of hops and a very understated roasted flavour (I guess from the Carafa) that balance it nicely and give a dry, crisp impression. It's not ultra-hopped like some west coast IPA's, but it's definitely not for the timid. There is a notable but not overpowering aroma. Stable tan head. Crisp hoppy up front taste with snappy bitter finish. I might bump the toasted malt and base malt a bit to up the strength .... really just an attempt to stay in the style, as it already tastes full and strong enough. Hope you enjoy! 11lb Pale 2-row (Canadian) 1lb Light toasted (Pale 2-row toasted in my oven 40 min @275F) 10oz Extra Dark Crystal 14oz Carafa Special II (Dehusked. Added last 15 min of mash) Mash with 5gal water at 150F. Double Batch sparge. 90min Boil. Centennial 11.5% 2oz (70min) Centennial 11.5% 1oz (40 min) Amarillo 9.4% 1oz (20 min) Amarillo 9.4% 1oz (5 min) Amarillo 9.4% 1oz (Dry hop in secondary for 10 days) Ferment at 18-19 C Now... to try to post a photo...
Just finished this keg with a buddy... MUST brew it again soon!
looks good
What was this for 6.5 pre boils 5 finish. What's the sparge amounts and mash amount for 5g. This sounds awesome and I plan to brew if I get info.
Go Big or Go Home! It's not speed that kills, its the sudden stop that tends to hurt! Big Gulp eh, Well See ya Later!
That is a beautiful looking beer. I know what I will be brewing next! Thanks for posting your recipe.
I just sampled my first bottle of this one (with a few minor modifications due to hops availability). Delicious. It's a very nice looking beer, with a beautiful creamy head that lasts all the way to the bottom. I don't even remember drinking it, just the sadness when I realized I was at the bottom of my glass. I will have to keep this one in rotation.
Just finished brew day of this bad boy. Must say I am pretty excited. Our original gravity was 1.050 and we substituted Cascade for Amarillo because of availability. Will let you know how it turns out when it finishes. As for now, it smells great and we are really excited. Thanks for the recipe and cheers!
I've searched around a lot of different forums looking for a good CDA recipe, and this one seems to be right up my alley. One question though. By my calculations, it's over 122IBU, which would definitely put it in the ultra hopped category. Is this something that really doesn't manifest from brewing it, or is it a really hoppy brew? I'm substituting chinook for the amarillo, since I can't get any of the latter, and that will add about 10IBU to the brew, but with a dark IPA, I don't want to drown out the maltiness of it, so if it is really that bitter, I may cut back on the bittering hops.

The City of Plattsburgh administration has gone too far this time in its dispute with the Fire Department.
State Supreme Court Justice Robert Muller recently ruled that the city purposely set requirements for the fire-chief exam so no members of the Plattsburgh City Fire Department would qualify.
He called that "unreasonable," "arbitrary and capricious" and "an abuse of discretion." We call it blatantly unethical.
The city has been without a permanent fire chief since Paul Williams retired two years ago. Mayor Donald Kasprzak appointed Police Chief Desmond Racicot to serve double duty overseeing police and fire departments for a year. Since then, Assistant Fire Chief Randy Stone has been in charge.
The city apparently doesn't want anyone from the Fire Department to move up to the top spot. Speculation is that they may have a specific person from Vermont in mind for the position.
After the ruling, Councilor James Calnon, who is mayor pro tem, said they just wanted to get the best person for the job and, in explaining the city's intent, told the Press-Republican: "Maybe it is better to get someone from outside to be the new chief to get away from the 'this is the way we've always done things' mentality."
But manipulating training qualifications to exclude city firefighters from even trying for the position is unfair and unprofessional.
If the city's chosen candidate is good enough, he or she certainly ought to finish in the top three of the Civil Service exam. After receiving a list of the top candidates, city officials can then do interviews and use their discretion in choosing whom they deem to be the best person for the job.
Kasprzak was uncharacteristically silent after Muller's ruling. We hope that is a sign that he is showing some verbal restraint and re-evaluating his decades-long fixation on the City Fire Department — even if it is supposedly for the good of taxpayers. The lack of cooperation and civility between the mayor and this crucial city department is not in the best interest of Plattsburgh residents.
That said, the Press-Republican also suggests that firefighters think hard about what prompted the city to go to this extreme to bar them from advancement in their own department. While fire personnel have certainly demonstrated skill and professionalism in fighting fires and dealing with residents' health emergencies, often, they have also come across over the years as whiny, litigious and selfishly protective of rules and benefits that are at odds with the taxpayers' interests.
The judge has ordered the city to set new, more inclusive test guidelines, which city officials had already done before the ruling, apparently knowing they overstepped legal lines — and those between right and wrong.
They must also re-administer the test, but that won't happen until January, which means at least another nine months with one of the city's major departments having only an interim leader.
The animosity between the administration and Fire Department is incendiary and detrimental. It is time for the gridlock to end.

All-in-one computers are perfect for the person with an office or desk that is cramped. Many people buy this sort of computer to put into a kitchen or living room for the family to use because the AIO style machines are compact and take up less space than a traditional desktop.
The big benefit of an AIO compared to a notebook when in the same price range is that you get a much larger screen with the average AIO than you will find on a notebook. The typical AIO is also often more powerful than a notebook available in the same price range.
Today I am looking at a budget offering from HP called the HP AIO 200-5020. This machine has a nice size screen and decent hardware considering its price. If you are shopping in the under $800 range for a new all-in-one, the HP AIO 200-5020 may be just what you need.
Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The HP AIO 200-5020 I am looking at today is available directly from HP and can be purchased from Newegg and other sources as well. On Newegg the machine sells for $779.99. Check out the full specifications of the HP AIO 200-5020 by clicking on the image below.

We have a pear tree that doesn't seem to be doing so well. I have had a look around and have not been able to match to a bug or disease as yet.
Top of leaves show 'pitting' but no discolouration, the underside of leaves show the result of pitting with brown patches on most of the pits. I assume something has laid its eggs in the leaves? Do any of you know what might be happening? I am so new to gardening I am just not sure where to start out really. Any help is really appreciated!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Molly (foster care)!
Facts about Molly (foster care)
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Senior
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Molly (foster care)'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hello, I am Molly (A21092346). I'm a gentle senior citizen shepherd mix who was brought to the shelter when my elderly owner couldn't care for me.
I'm small for a shepherd mix – just 31 pounds - so I'll fit cozily into your apartment. My owner loved me and let me roam loose in the house, and she says I got along with dogs, kids and cats. I know sit and stay and I am almost certainly housetrained. I've got some skin issues but they will be much easier to fix once I'm out of this shelter and in a nice home with loving owners. I'm an easy dog who would love nothing more than going home with you. Com meet me today!
Act quickly to adopt Molly (foster care). Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Animal Care & Control Team
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Molly (foster care), a Philadelphia Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Philadelphia, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Philadelphia.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Philadelphia already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Philadelphia breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Philadelphia paves the way for another one to be saved.

GIV Mobile Joins Oprah Winfrey and Stephen Colbert in Providing Tools and Supplies to Public School Classrooms in Need
CHICAGO, — GIV Mobile joins supporters such as Oprah Winfrey and Stephen Colbert by announcing their partnership with DonorsChoose.org, a unique online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help teachers and students receive specific tools and supplies they need in the classroom.
Public school teachers can post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org's website where individuals can donate money to the project that inspires them the most. Once the project receives its funding goals, the materials are shipped to the classroom and those who donated will receive photos of the project and thank you notes from students.
GIV Mobile is the first consumer-conscious wireless service that is dedicated to donating 8% of a customer's monthly bill to up to three charities of his or her choice. Now, when GIV Mobile subscribers select DonorsChoose.org, 8% of their bill will help teachers and students receive the materials they need. To date, 171,000 public and charter school teachers have used DonorsChoose.org to secure $217 million in books, art supplies, technology, and other resources that their students need to learn.
"We are excited about this new partnership with GIV Mobile," says Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org. "Without individuals and companies like GIV Mobile, these teachers would not receive all the materials they need for their students to imaginatively learn in the classroom."
"GIV Mobile is proud to partner with a charitable organization like DonorsChoose.org that allows children to creatively express themselves in the classroom," says Co-founder of GIV Mobile Omar Aqel. "Whether the need is for new picture books or musical instruments, GIV Mobile's mission is to help those who need it most. We are happy to be a part of it."
Today, GIV Mobile is helping raise awareness for Mrs. Emerson's project at Webster High School in Tulsa, OK. Her students attend an urban, high-poverty high school and are requesting a variety of books dealing with preparation for college and life. Mrs. Emerson explains, "Every generation wants better for its children. This generation has focused on college education as that "better." For children coming from homes where college was never even on the table as a possibility, to navigate their way successfully through the murky waters of college testing, selection, admissions, and funding requires timely, accurate, and accessible information. These materials will provide my students with that information and help them take the first step towards their future." To learn more about Mrs. Emerson's classroom project and her students, please visit givmobile.com/charities/featured/donorschoose.
GIV Mobile operates on the nationwide, 4G network of T-Mobile USA, Inc. allowing users to have fast and reliable connections from nearly anywhere in the U.S. Subscribers can sign up now to "Answer the Call" and support DonorsChoose.org at www.givmobile.com.

Utilizing the 4G network of T-Mobile USA, Inc. GIV Mobile's two affordable "Unlimited Everything" no-contract plans allow users to have fast and reliable connections from nearly anywhere in the U.S. Along with providing a great mobile service, GIV Mobile collaborates with extraordinary charities to create a community that is dedicated to giving back.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons Review
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons Review
The other half of an epic Zelda adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons gives players – if they choose to play a linked game – a lengthier adventure. As I have reviewed The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages first, this review will focus on not only my experience with the core Oracle of Seasons game, but also on the additional content one can experience when linking both games together.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons takes place in another world outside of Hyrule. This time, Link visits the world of Holodrum where he meets the goddess known as Din. Within moments of meeting one another, the sky turns black and Onox – the General of Darkness and main baddie of Oracle of Seasons – kidnaps Din and throws the land of Holodrum into disarray. With the seasons acting erratically, Link must partner with the Maku Tree to find the Eight Essences of Nature to return Holodrum to normal, and to confront Onox.
As you can see, both of the Oracle games have similar stories, albeit with different settings, characters, and a different primary gameplay mechanic. In Oracle of Ages, you had to travel between the past and present to save Labrynna, but in Oracle of Seasons, you must become a master of season manipulation to save Holodrum. Of course, like every Zelda game, Oracle of Seasons also has a large overworld to explore. The overworld connects everything in the world together, including the towns and dungeons; however, with the Rod of Seasons, you can change the season – when standing on special tree stumps – which happens to affect the landscape of the overworld. For example, when changing the season from fall to winter, snow may pile up in particular area, opening up a new path to explore. Using the Rod of Seasons to manipulate the seasons is essential for exploring and overcoming many of Holodrum's obstacles.
Oracle of Seasons also has an underworld to explore called Subrosia. Subrosia is home to a mysterious race of fire-resistant citizens known as Subrosians. Subrosia can be accessed by finding hidden portals and happens to play a huge role in Oracle of Seasons. Located within Subrosia is the Temple of Seasons, a temple that was once located above ground in Holodrum. The Temple of Seasons is home to the four Season Spirits and must be visited multiple times to unlock the full potential of the Rod of Seasons.
Aside from the Rod of Seasons, the rest of Oracle of Seasons has gameplay similar to every other Zelda game, which isn't a bad thing. There are eight challenging dungeons and bosses to tackle, series staples such as bombs and swords to master, as well as some new, creative items. One of standout items are the magnetic gloves, which gives Link magnetic powers that can help him cross chasms and move metal objects, both of which can be useful when solving puzzles. Lastly, while puzzles still play a role in Oracle of Seasons, the game focuses more on straight forward encounters when compared to Oracle of Ages.
As promised, I'm also reviewing the ability to link both games together. This idea is brilliantly executed, starting with an added heart container – giving you a total of 4 HP at the beginning – in your linked adventure. This isn't the only change either, as characters from Labrynna appear in Holodrum, rings from Oracle of Ages can be transferred to Oracle of Seasons, and of course, the extended ending. After defeating Onox, players are treated to the true ending of the Oracle games, which includes two additional boss fights. Lastly, players can also experience new quests that require bringing codes – or secrets as the game calls them – to characters in the opposite game to unlock new item upgrades and more.
Visually, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is identical to Oracle of Ages. While both games feature detailed sprites and an awesome art design, these Game Boy Color games don't seem to push the handheld to its limit.
One area where Oracle of Seasons doesn't quite measure up to Oracle of Ages is in its soundtrack. Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack is great, but it lacks the variety of compelling tracks that made the dungeons of Oracle of Ages fun to explore.
4.5/5 D-Pads: If you enjoyed The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is recommended to complete the epic adventure. Oracle of Seasons tends to be easier than Oracle of Ages, and happens to be shorter by a few hours, but is a complete Zelda experience from beginning to end. Both games can be purchased on the Nintendo eShop, which happens to make linking and switching between games a breeze.

2007 National Diabetes Fact Sheet Data
Diabetes: Minorities Face Greater Burden
African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, and some Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders are at particularly high risk for type 2 diabetes [previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)] or adult onset diabetes and its complications.
National estimates of diagnosed diabetes for certain minority groups (excepting Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders) are available from national survey data and from the Indian Health Service (IHS) user population database, which includes data for approximately 1.4 million American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States who receive health care from the IHS. Because most minority populations are younger and tend to develop diabetes at earlier ages than the non-Hispanic white population, it is important to control for population age differences when making race and ethnic comparisons.
After adjusting for population age differences, 16.5% of the total adult population served by IHS in 2005 had diagnosed diabetes, with rates varying by region from 6.0% among Alaska Native adults to 29.3% among American Indian adults in southern Arizona.
After adjusting for population age differences, 2004-2006 national survey data for people aged 20 years or older indicate that 6.6% of non-Hispanic whites, 7.5% of Asian Americans, 10.4% of Hispanics, and 11.8% of non-Hispanic blacks had diagnosed diabetes. Among Hispanics, rates were 8.2% for Cubans, 11.9% for Mexican Americans, and 12.6% for Puerto Ricans.

Luxury Hotels in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Monaco, Shanghai & Montreal Get In Gear for F1
TORONTO, March 8, 2012 – Formula 1 is one of the world's most prestigious sporting spectaculars – with fast cars, fancy parties and famous drivers from all over the world converging on chic hotspots from Montreal to Shanghai.

The hotel's Formula 1 Grand Prix Offer is valid April 10-18, 2012 for the UBS Chinese Grand Prix, which runs on the architecturally stunning Shanghai International Circuit.

Montreal's Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth is the official caterer to the VIP and corporate reception lounges overlooking the race track at the Grand Prix du Canada, one of the series' favorite stop for the drivers.

Terry Faust's situation isn't quite the same as singer John Denver's battle against drunken-driving charges. But it raises similar questions about the independence of the state's Motor Vehicle Division.
Denver's attorney, Walter Gerash, has convinced at least one judge that having one's license revoked by the Motor Vehicle Division after a DUI stop and then having to go to court on a DUI charge constitutes double jeopardy. Drunken drivers and attorneys around the country are eagerly awaiting the final results of Denver's court challenge. Faust's attorney, Richard Gross, is one of them, even though his client's situation doesn't exactly parallel Denver's.
"One government agency has said she's not guilty, and another says she is guilty--all on the same evidence," Gross says. State senator Richard Mutzebaugh, a Republican from Highlands Ranch who chairs the Senate transportation committee, sympathizes with Faust but says that won't get her license back.
"It doesn't seem fair," Mutzebaugh says when told of Faust's situation, "but the law is the law. Until we change this statute, she still gets treated separately in two kinds of cases, one dealing with her driver's license and one dealing with the violation of the traffic code. To tell you the truth, I don't know why we have it separate and why we have it written the way we do."
The chain of events started when Faust, returning from a company picnic in Evergreen with her husband-to-be, got into a minor accident in the parking lot of an Evergreen bar. She says she hadn't been drinking at the time. After assessing the damages, Faust says, she suggested to the driver that they handle their own costs for repairs. In her opinion, she says, they were both at fault.
"I was backing up, and I sideswiped him," she says. "I'm talking minor damage. I said, `Look, sir, you pulled in the wrong way. You fix yours, I'll fix mine, and have a good day.' I wasn't leaving because I didn't have insurance, and I wasn't leaving because I had been drinking. I just felt that it was as much his fault as it was my fault, and I wasn't going to hassle my insurance."
Apparently the driver didn't like her suggestion: Faust says she found out later that he had hailed police. Three hours after the accident, police stopped her as she was walking out of a bar in Morrison, where she says she did have some drinks with her fiance.
Police asked her to submit to a breath test. When she tested over the legal limit of .10, she was hauled off to detox and her license was yanked. According to police records, Faust's blood alcohol content was .19.
But when Faust went to Jefferson County traffic court in December, District Attorney Michael Bellipani dropped the DUI charge for lack of evidence. Faust had been ticketed about three hours after the accident; there was no proof that she had been driving drunk at that time. She pled guilty to careless driving and failure to yield.
In the meantime, however, Faust made a crucial error. State law allows those who score above .10 seven days to request a Motor Vehicle Division hearing on whether they should have their licenses suspended. Most drivers who score above that mark don't request a hearing, because they know they can't win.
"Most people who get DUIs are guilty," says Gross, "and there's very few who aren't guilty who fail to request a hearing who were found to be subsequently innocent. It's rare, very rare."
But Faust waited until after her wedding and honeymoon to request a hearing--and that was after the seven-day time limit. The only excuses the department would accept for waiving the time limit were incarceration or hospitalization.
In hindsight, Faust realizes her DUI should have gotten top priority over her wedding plans. After all, it was her second stop for allegedly drunken driving in five years, which meant, she says, that this time she would forfeit her license for a year. But she says she wanted to put everything, including her stay in the detox unit that cost her $300, behind her. She decided she would handle everything after her wedding.
"I was so upset," Faust recalls. "I didn't request a hearing because I said to myself--and Scott told me--`Just put everything away, and we'll deal with this all when we come back.'"
When she finally requested a hearing, the seven-day limit had passed, and the MVD turned her down. At this point, says her attorney, a lawsuit against the MVD is her only recourse, and he's not optimistic.
"The chances of success are minimal," says Gross. "The way the law is written, I can see a judge very easily letting the Department of Motor Vehicles win. The judge would have to go out on a limb to let us win."
Gross says he may have to wait for a ruling in John Denver's case to see what his own client's chances might be. "That would be a real break from what's happened in the past, if John Denver were to win that case," he says.

text: The demolition of the old Juvenile Center on Croy Street in Kelso is now under way. Contractors started the teardown of the long-vacant building yesterday morning, calling in Kelso Police to help make sure that the building was empty before the demolition started. Officers used a public address system to call into the building, warning anyone who was possibly inside to get out. It doesn't appear that anyone was inside. The 16,000 square-foot building has been empty since 2004; Cowlitz County Juvenile Services moved out in 1999, then the City of Kelso leased the building for five years. In 2006, the building was sold to a developer, who announced plans to build a retail center in that area. Those plans never materialized, then the empty building became a target for vandals. Many thousands of dollars in damage was done, making the building unusable. The building went into foreclosure, and in June of this year, the current noteholder announced plans to demolish the facility. The current owners say that they'd eventually like to sell the land for development.

Today's Question of the Day is remarkably simple, but it took a reader suggestion to make it appear.
Tag: New Car
After nearly 15 years of faithful service from her 2000 Honda Civic, my grandmother is looking for a new car. There's nothing wrong with her car, other than the fact that the Civic's relatively low seating position makes the car difficult to get in and out of for someone who will turn 81 and has broken their hip twice.
I've dished out plenty of Buick love lately. The Verano beats Acura and Lexus at the entry-luxury game and the tiny Encore is an oddly attractive (albeit underpowered) crossover that is outselling the Mini Countryman and Range Rover Evoque by a wide margin. What can we attribute this sales success to? I posit that the original Buick Enclave is the impetus. Landing in 2007 as a 2008 model, it was the poster child of the "new Buick." On the surface, the Enclave was the replacement for the Buick Rainier, the only GMT360 SUV I haven't owned. (Just kidding, I've only owned 2 of the 11 varieties.) But that's a simplistic view. In reality the Enclave was intended to elevate the brand enough to compete with three row luxury crossovers from Germany and Japan. This brings us to today's question: six years and a mild face-lift later, does the Buick still have the goods?
Many assumed that with the new FR-S hitting the dealers, it would only be a matter of time before the front-wheel-drive tC was sent out to pasture. However with an average buyer age of 28, the tC is isn't just the youngest Toyota, it's the youngest car in America. With demographics like that, product planners would be fools to kill off the tC and so the "two coupé strategy" was born. The last time we looked at the tC, the FR-S had yet to be born, this time the tC has been refreshed in the FR-S' image. Which two door is right for you? Click past the jump, the answer might surprise you.
Remember when Volkswagen's goal of 800,000 units in America seemed utterly implausible? TTAC does. But Volkswagen, which was in the dumps not too long ago, is now more than half-way to their goal, selling 438,000 units in the United States, a 35 percent jump over last year. But that kind of growth isn't likely to carry over for 2013.
The "family sedan" may not be very exciting, but without midsized sales auto makers would be in a pickle. Ponder this: the five best-selling midsized sedans in America accounted for 1.3 million of the 12.8 million vehicles sold in 2011. With numbers like that, it's important to get your mass-market people mover right. This means competitive fuel economy, a low base price and swipe as much tech from your luxury brand as possible. Either that or just wear a Nissan badge on the front. Say what? The last generation Altima was the second best-selling car despite being long in the tooth and filled with Chrysler quality plastics. That made me ask an important question: Is the fifth-generation Altima any good, or is it selling well (now in third place thanks to the new Accord and Nissan's model change over) just because it has a Nissan logo on the front?
Up till now there hasn't been a "real" Prius alternative on the market. Sure Honda has the Civic and Insight, but their real-world MPGs can't hold a candle to the green-car poster child and Honda's IMA hybrid system is far from smooth and refined. The Volt is more of a novelty with its lofty price tag and the last time we tested one we revealed a lowly 32MPG average when running gasoline only. This brings us to the blue oval. Despite Ford using essentially the same technology as Toyota for their hybrid systems, Ford resisted creating a dedicated hybrid model. Until now. Meet the 47MPG 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid. Of course we've all heard the news that the C-MAX doesn't hit 47MPG, so click-through the jump to find out what we averaged and whether or not that should matter to you.
When car companies need to stretch out a model's useful lifespan, there are a number of tricks they use. After the first year, new colors are added. The next few year options and trim parts are tweaked. Around year four, a limited edition surfaces followed by a drivetrain revamp in year 5. And so it is with Infiniti's sporty FX crossover, now entering its fifth model year as the "new" 2013 Infiniti FX37. You guessed it, the only thing new about the FX37 is the engine. Today's burning question is: does a new engine give a luxury vehicle a lease on life? Or is this thinly disguised crossover life support? Click through the jump to find out.
Land Rover and Jeep are the original go-anywhere brands and the brands most resistant to losing sight of their hard-core mission. Unfortunately this focus can't shelter them from the need to meet evermore stringent emissions and fuel economy standards. What's an iconic sub-brand like Range Rover to do? Dress up a small cross over in high-fashion bling for the urban set. This presents today's question: does the Evoque dilute the off-road brand or is it an extension into uncharted waters?
What do you get when you add two doors to a 6-Series coupé? Last year the answer was: a 7-Series. Of course that was last year, now BMW has an all-new answer: the Gran Coupe. Of course, calling your latest sexy sedan a "coupé" is nothing new (Mercedes has done it since 2004), what is new is the process by which this "coupé" arrived. Normally manufacturers introduce a new sedan, then within a year they delete two doors, lop off some trunk, give it a sporty grille and launch it as a coupé and convertible. The 6-Series Gran Coupe (GC) on the other hand is what happens when you take a an expensive coupé and add doors. In BMW speak, this process created a four-door coupé. Confused yet? Allow me to explain: apparently all you have to do to create a coupé is remove the sashes from the windows. (This means that Subaru buyers have driven coupés all these years and didn't know it.) Can the sexy 6-Series beat Mercedes at their own CLS game? Let's find out.

Hey, at least we kept it close right?
A loss is a loss is a loss, but the Chiefs played a very good game today. Despite what the final score read or how many drops Dwayne Bowe had, the Kansas City Chiefs took the defending AFC champion Indianapolis Colts to the wire today.
The Chiefs were in this game, holding the most prolific passing offense in the NFL to three field goals, all the way until the 4th quarter until they got outscored 10-0 in the final frame. Peyton Manning threw for nearly 250 yards, but the Chiefs' "bend don't break" defense held strong, especially in the red zone.
Newest Chiefs Posts
Peyton Manning didn't beat the Chiefs. He threw an interception to Jon McGraw and nearly gave the Chiefs a breath of life in the 2nd quarter when a sure pick six went right through Derrick Johnson's hands.
The Chiefs didn't beat themselves. One turnover on a Jamaal Charles fumble, that quite honestly would have been a fumble for any NFL running back. It's hard to hold onto the football when someone puts a hat on the ball when the runner is on their way to the ground.
Here's the encouraging part.
The Chiefs went the distance with Peyton Manning and the Colts.
It reminded me of the movie Rocky (you've probably heard of it). No one gave him a chance going into the fight, but he went the distance with the champ, Apollo Creed. He knew he wouldn't win the fight, but he knew he could go the distance and if he stayed in the fight long enough, he might just knock Apollo out.
Well, we all know how the movie ends. Apollo wins on a split decision and retains the title. Rocky, bloodied and bruised calls out for his girlfriend. Roll credits.
But guess what? He beat Apollo Creed just months later in front of his hometown and went on to international stardom and five sequels.
Are the Chiefs the football version of Rocky? A team that no one gave a puncher's chance to do anything this year besides win six games?
We'll see how they rebound against the Houston Texans next week. After the way Houston played today, I'm feeling pretty good about this team's chances going into Week Six.
Hopefully the sequel to this movie doesn't suck as bad as Rocky V.

11-year-old runaway Daniela Rivas reported to be found safeWednesday, March 13th, 2013 Issue 11, Volume 17.
Authorities ask public to watch for 11-year-old runaway ESCONDIDO - Authorities asked the public to keep an eye out for an 11-year-old Escondido girl who ran away from home this morning. Daniela Rivas' family last saw her about 5 a.m. at their Adams Avenue home, and later found a four-page note in which she Advertisement The child, who does not have a cellphone, apparently packed a bag with extra clothing and makeup before leaving, Escondido police Capt. Michael Loarie said. Officers searched the area for her without success. Daniela is a 5-foot-3-inch, roughly 120-pound Latino with brown eyes and long brown hair. Officials asked anyone who spots a child matching her description to call Escondido police at (760) 839-4722. 8 comments
What did her bag or backpack look like? What color was her jacket/sweatshirt? I was in Escondido today then in Vista. There are so many bus stops, she could be anywhere. We will keep an eye out in Fallbrook. God bless. We pray she is safely returned to you.
Wow. She was in all my elementary classes and goes to my school now I know why that police officer stop me I kind of look like her.
To J..... - and where are your parents as you are posting your full name on the internet? Safety people. STAFF: We've removed her full name.
should an 11 year old even have makeup? smh on her parents.
To # 4 I thought the same thing about, why you pack make up to run away. I fear a boy is involved.
There is no way an 11 year old could leave on their own. She has someone helping her, whether that be from a friend or from someone on the internet...she had help. An 11 year old is not going to leave at 5am in the dark, alone. Just isn't going to happen. I hope she didn't wipe the hard drive on her computer.
My heart goes out to this famiy and I hope they find her safe and unharmed. I hope shes just a stubborn 11 yr. old hiding in a neighbors back yard or a friends place. The internet is very scarey when it comes to our childern. My 11 yr. old is in love with One Direction...I caught her in a chat room online talking to a complete stranger who she thought/believed was one of the singers, because she's 11. It was a 'fan' site and who knows who she was talking to, thank goodness she gave no personal information like where she lives, goes to school, last name etc...this still happened even though my husband and I check the computer regularly and monitor what are kids are allowed to be on. We even have our teenagers password for facebook in case we believe she is doing things she shouldn't. You can be a very active parent in your childs life and these things can still happen, I dont think we should to criticize the parents until the whole facts are out. Her 'make-up' could have been play make-up, my 11 yr. old has play make-up she is only allowed to wear in our house not in public, so hold on judgement and keep your eyes open for this little girl so she can be brought home. Kids have been abducted out of their own homes before, it's nothing new, take Elizabeth Smart and Danielle Van Dam for example. Instead of judging use your energy to pray for this little girl and her family.
I pray she is found safe & unharmed. I also hope authorities investigate & find out why she has been planning to run away for the past year. What has been going on in her home? What is she trying to escape?

Mile High Makeout: Fresh start
Categories: Commentary
Yes, I know a lot of people like to use a new year as an opportunity to get a fresh start. It might just mean that you clean the stains out of your toilet bowl finally, or you put clean sheets on your bed, or you floss. Some people even make New Year's resolutions. Usually, these are pledges related to self-improvement - weight loss, fitness, smoking cessation, nose picking, public flatulation and angry driving are all common targets.
Though I rarely make these resolutions, I'm actually a big fan of them, and - though I have no data to support this - I suspect a lot of good has happened because of them. I have a good friend who has resolved to quit smoking (cliche, perhaps, but that doesn't make it any less worthy), and I think she'll actually do it, largely because of the New Year. I mean, as long as they're worthy and realistic, and unless you resolve to flick more people in the forehead or increase your heroin intake, what harm could they possibly do?
A week ago, a new friend of mine who doesn't consider herself part of "the scene" in Denver informed me that she has resolved to see more live music in 2009. This, to me, seems like a worthy and realistic goal for the year. In fact, it's probably one we could all get behind. And it inspired a little pledge of my own.
I'm not going to call this a resolution, but let's just say it's something I'm going to try. I'm not sure I could see MORE live music without some sort of time travel device, but I definitely know I could see a wider variety. I'd like to see more jazz, hip-hop and classical this year. I'd like to make it to venues I haven't frequented, such as the Toad Tavern, the D-Note, Herman's and Hodi's. I hope to see more mash-ups of the arts, events where theater and visual arts and dance and music and everything else come together and get sloppy drunk on one another.
I'll need your help with this. Keep me posted when there are interesting places and performances I should check out. I'm easy to find on MySpace. Don't be shy. If I fail, I'll have you to blame. --Eryc Eyl
