Univ. of Ariz. police investigate student's death
TUCSON, Ariz. � University of Arizona police are trying to learn what a 19-year-old student was doing in the hours before he apparently accidentally fell to his death while climbing a cooling tower atop a dorm.
Freshman Michael Evan Anderson of Mission Viejo, Calif., died Friday morning on the roof of the three-story dorm.
The Arizona Daily Star (http://goo.gl/XnohS6 ) said the investigation includes analyzing security video at a fraternity house to determine where there was a party there and interviewing students and a cab driver.
Court documents indicate that detectives also searched Anderson's room in the dorm and found suspected marijuana and glass smoking pipes.
Police Sgt. Filbert Barrera said toxicology test results which could confirm whether Anderson was impaired by drugs or alcohol won't be available for several weeks.

I posted entire plan for our soon to be built house on 'Building Forum' and got lots of good feedback for the overall project. But I don't know where to go with this master bath. Someone suggested I post to this forum for some advice. This is the space I am left with for a bath, which seems like a decent size but I am not certain I am using the space wisely. Everything is moveable except windows. Door can be anywhere along wall. We would like a separate shower and tub and we are okay with one sink and I would love to include a small makeup area to sit at. I would appreciate help from anyone willing to make suggestions. This layout is similar to the idea house we toured so I am having trouble seeing it any other way...Thanks!
(If you want to see room in relation to rest of house, I am "Need help with layout, please" in Building forum. |

The door and the closet interfere with each other. If someone is in the closet then another inters there is a problem. Put a pocket door in as the enrty. Many have and love them. |

I think for a master I would want a bigger vanity. It looks like you have plenty of room to make it wider. |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Mon, Nov 5, 12 at 10:29
I agree with barbollins that for a master, I'd want a bigger vanity. Additionally, that shower look really small. From the drawing it looks only 2' deep? Personally, I would try to follow enduring's suggestion and make the entry door a pocket door and place it directly across from the window. I would probably elminate the closet altogether and have the shower take up that entire wall and run all the way to the window (so maybe 3'x7'?). I would extend the sink vanity and try to accommodate two sinks if possible or just a single sink with a nice long run of counter. For a seated makeup area, perhaps you could add it to the longer run of vanity (if you did a single sink) or maybe you could make a small counter run across from the vanity. I don't think it would need to be a full 24" deep, maybe just 18-20". |

Thanks pricklypearcactus, those are good ideas. I think eliminating the closet is going to help. I wouldn't have thought to do that. Someone pointed out that the space between the sink/vanity and windows/wall is really wasted space, sufficient for a walkway, but just a little too small to use it for anything. I think if I steal 1' of space from the bedroom I would be able to widen the room and add a makeup area. I would use your suggestion to make it approx 20" deep and still have room to walk. I may add shelving at one end of the tub to gain back some storage I eliminated with the closet. What do you think? |
Here are some guidelines to layout that I had found helpful in planning my bathroom remodel. In the Bath section it is the 10th article down. Lots of good reading with all of these articles. |
Here is a link that might be useful: list of articles
You have decent space but you are limited by the windows and shape. A few comments that will mirror some of what has already been said: You have a very large tub, even oversized tub, at 84". That's fine if that is indeed what you are looking for. But it's way out of balance with a miniscule 24" deep shower that doesn't even meet code. A shower has to be a minimum of 30" square. I left the shower where it is, but increased the size. I didn't dimension it out, but you could possibly fit a 42" deep by 48" wide shower in that space. If not, then a 42" wide by 36" deep shower would fit. I moved the toilet to behind the door. The width of the toilet, from left-to-right when you are sitting on the toilet, needs to be a minimum of 30" wide (15" from toilet centerline to each side wall). 36" is better, and 36" still leaves you with a 48" wide shower. I moved the closet between the vanity and the tub. That could be desired in terms of providing a little bit of closure for the tub, or you might find that constricting. More on that later. I added a makeup vanity between the windows on the south wall. It's not as deep as a typical vanity to prevent it from eating up floor space. But it is wide. I tried to keep a little symmetry between the south windows, the makeup space between those windows, and the double sink vanity on the north wall. Here's a quick and dirty shuffle... If you find the verticalness of a floor-to-ceiling closet right next to the tub constricting, you could eliminate the closet where I have it. Extend the double-sink vanity all the way to the right, over to the tub. That would give you a vanity long enough for two sinks plus a makeup center. Then the makeup center that I drew on the south wall between the windows could be a shallow closet-type of storage area. I did have an alternative plan to center the entry door on the north wall, but I don't have time to do a quick and dirty drawing of that. I'm not certain of the left side of the room for a plan like that, mainly due to shower access, but here is the basic idea: For that, I'd move the shower up to the northwest corner of the room. Might have to be a neo- or corner-entry shower, but I'd have to draw it out to see. Move the toilet to the southwest corner. I'd leave the tub where it is. I'd split the single vanity in two, both still on the north wall, but one on each side of the door. Keep the makeup area where I have it. Anyhow, just a few ideas. Time for me to go weather in a roof before the rain and winds start up tomorrow... |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Tue, Nov 6, 12 at 9:53
Another alternative on mongo's layout would be to extend the vanity (as he mentioned) all the way to the tub and use part of that as your makeup area. If you wanted to retain some linen storage, you could make a very shallow linen closet out of cabinetry between the two windows. I personally sort of like the idea of the toilet behind the door. It keeps it from being visible on first walking into the bathroom. |
Okee-dokee...here's the split vanity with the corner shower... With the long wall being 19' and the door roughly taking up 3' of wall, that leaves you 8' of wall on either side of the door. With a 42" by 42" corner shower on the west wall and a 42" by 84" tub on the east wall, you can have a roughly 54" wide vanity on either side of the door, and that is a fairly spacious vanity for a single bowl. Between those two vanities and the makeup center, you should have enough storage to compensate for the displaced closet. If you wanted more storage, you could add a wall cabinet above the toilet. Depends on how things appeal to you. Probably a larger negative in this one is that the toilet is more exposed. A water closet could be done, but things would have to be shuffled around and it would really pinch the footprint. The code minimum size for a water closet is 30" by 60" with an outward opening door. |

Maybe put in some between-the-studs shelving during construction, for more storage? Just my 2 cents..... |

Now here's the minimalist version in terms of changes. Moving plumbing, especially a toilet, can be expensive. So the toilet is back in its original location. Ignore the wall between the toilet and the tub, that should be just like in your original version, with the wall instead between the toilet and the vanity. No real changes, just tweaks. |

Hi Kathy! Thanks for starting a new may post! I haven't been posting as I have been really bad. No exercise at all, not being very careful what I am eating. I have put back on about 5lbs. I am so disgusted with myself. I am blaming it on having dh being home and temporaily disabled, but no excuse. He is doing very good, by the way, its just no weight bearing yet on his foot, so he is limited on helping hisself do alot. I have to get on the ball this week or I will never get into all those new summer clothes I bought last fall. This is the week, I hope, that I will get back on track. Wish me luck. Hope this will be a great month for everyone! Wanda |
Hi all The weekend's almost over. I didn't do any exercise yesterday but hope to do some today in the evening. And then resume my activity during the week which I always find easier. I also accidentally discovered fitday.com which I found has also been mentioned on this forum. It is a great site to keep a daily log and calculate all those numbers (calories intake, calories burnt etc.) Superbee |
Began the week with the WATP 2 mile walk. Superbee |

Good for you Superbee --- keep it up!! I just keep reciting "you can do it" --- the little (or medium-sized) engine that could! LOL Hey there Wanda....welcome back! I'm hanging cute summer outfits all over the house to remind me of what I need to fit into. LOL I don't know if it's helping but it sure is making a mess!! I've been walking every day, trying every so often to throw in some arms & abs work. Weigh-in is Thursday a.m. |
Thanks Kathy. I'm trying to keep the pace up. But believe me it hasn't been easy! Having to post on fitday.com everyday is a great motivator though. I like the idea of the cute summer outfits :) |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 04 at 22:19
Weigh-in was this morning; lost 2.2 lbs since last Thursday. The week before I stayed the same and the week before that I gained a bit. My 5 week total is a loss of 5.6 lbs. Could be better (but also could be worse!) Keep pushing on! :) |
Wow Kathy. Congratulations and keep it up. I wasn't feeling too well yesterday so I only did the one mile walk. Still something is better than nothing I suppose. Ever since I started exercising, I at least feel better overall, not as tired or lethargic as before. Superbee |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Tue, May 11, 04 at 22:00
Tonight was the first workout I've done since last week. Walked and did stomach crunches. My mom just gave me a couple of pictures of me and my son from a party back in January. OMG! Now I'm REALLY motivated! It's funny how you can deceive yourself that you look okay, until you see an unflattering picture! LOL |
I don't even want to see any pictures of myself if I can help it LOL But I can't wait for my exercise regimen to begin showing results...then perhaps ... I'd consent to standing in the way of a camera :) |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 04 at 22:38
I gained 1.2 lbs at my weigh-in this morning. I guess going until Tuesday without exercising had consequences! I have been doing some treadmill every morning before work and at night along with ab crunches. We'll see what next Thursday brings! |
I have finally been able to lose 4 lbs. It hasn't gone down any further inspite of exercising. But I am going to continue... |
- Posted by KathyG7777 (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 04 at 21:47
Congrats, Superbee, on the 4 lbs! I wish I could say the same. It seems slowly but surely everything I lost is creeping back on. Today was weigh-in; gained another pound. :( This week was TOM and I was not feeling well at all. Was out cutting grass in the heat today so won't do anything more until tomorrow. Where is everyone else and how are you doing? Please check in. Superbee and I need some support from the rest of you! |
Thanks Kathy. Yes we do need support from everyone else. I was reading yesterday that Exercise alone doesn't cut it, there also needs to be balanced nutrition. So what an appropriate name this forum has :) But of course, apart from diet, exercising is always better than not exercising. So off I go ...hope to do a couple of miles of WATP now. |

Robin Williams' body was cremated the day after his death earlier this month, with his ashes to be scattered over the San Francisco Bay.
The ashes were to be scattered off the coast of Marin County, according to a death certificate obtained by Radar Online. Williams, who was found dead in his home Aug. 11 of what authorities said was an apparent suicide, lived in Tiburon.
A private funeral was held last week for his close friends and family, according to People.
Williams' cause of death was listed as "pending investigation," as results of toxicology and other tests done during an autopsy are still pending.
The comic and actor will be remembered at the Emmy Awards on Monday in a special tribute presented by Billy Crystal, Williams' friend and Comic Relief co-host. The segment will happen during the In Memoriam portion of the program.
While no official public memorial has been held, fans spontaneously remembered Williams with flowers, words and more at, among other places worldwide, his house in Tiburon, his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, outside a San Francisco home used in filming "Mrs. Doubtfire" and in Boston at a park bench used in a notable scene in "Good Will Hunting," for which the performer won a supporting-actor Academy Award.
Williams had been struggling with depression and anxiety and was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease before his death, his wife said in a statement.

Lionel Train Layout Track Plan
Presented here is the track plan for my toy train layout. To create the plan, I first sketched it on graph paper. I then traced the plan from the graph paper onto a piece of white tracing paper. The plan on the tracing paper was scanned into my computer and made into a "GIF" image file. Colors were added using the MS Paint software program. The alpha letters on the plan correspond to my layout's Accessory List. Dimensionally, the layout is 15' long on the left side, 13' across the top and 14' down the right side. There is a 4' wide gap in the center for the control panel and repair station areas.

X Files Costa Rica
Season 10: Hosts
- Detalles
- Categoría: Últimas Noticias
- Publicado el Domingo, 26 Enero 2014 10:29
- Escrito por Agente Scully
- Visitas: 1619
So, just to draw the picture here; there is a new comic book series called The X Files, Season 10. Issues 1 thru 5, where the "Believers" arc, which I already wrote about; and, issues 6 and 7, where the "Hosts" arc, which I'm going to write about, right now…
Well, obviously "Hosts" is about Flukeman, who was the monster of the week for the second season episode called "The Host", in which a humanoid flatworm is taking hosts for it's larvae, at the sewers of New Jersey; the larvae would attached themselves to the bile duct and would fed from the liver of the host, eventually killing him. The Flukeman is captured and after some tests, Scully is able to determine that the creature is a quasi-vertebrate human, capable of spontaneous regeneration like any flatworm; Chernobyl was its origin and it came on a Russian freighter that was used in the disposal of salvage material from the meltdown. Unfortunately, Flukeman escaped while being transported and its current whereabouts are unknown.
Now, Flukeman has resurfaced and is terrorizing Martha's Vineyard. With Mulder and Scully back at the FBI on The X Files, they are assigned to the case. It turns out that the Flukeman has found many suitable hosts and has reproduced, so Mulder found dozens of Flukemen on the sewers and they attacked him but Scully is able to remove all the parasites from his system. Also, the sheriff burns down the nest that Mulder found on the sewers.
Finally, the sheriff unveils the true origin of it all: Soviet Union, late 80's, when he had to abandon a comrade on a soup of radioactive waste, following superior instructions. He had lived with the guilt of what he have done, all these years, but he have also lived in fear, waiting for his colleague (Flukeman) to come after him in revenge, which actually happens by the end of the issue. And Flukeman remains on the run, again.
I have to say, I didn't love this arc, but something I thought was really cool, was the fact that they released it on the exact same date of Samantha's abduction, but 40 years ago (November 27th, 1973), which was also at Martha's Vineyard. So I think that was a nice touch, specially to us philes.

As the leader of the Dakota combatants in the U.S. - Dakota War, to choose the path toward war was one of the most difficult decisions any leader has made in Minnesota history. His reluctance to sanction this violent action was a personal decision that he realized would change his life and the lives of his people forever. The war undoubtedly would have happened regardless of his participation but because of it, he was one of the most hated, feared and wanted men in Minnesota history. The Dakota War, the impact on the people involved, on the state, was one of the most tragic stories in Minnesota history.

With the loss, the Midshipmen men fell to 9-18-2 overall and 1-14-1 in the ESCHL. Delaware, meanwhile, is now 17-8-1 overall and 10-4-1 in the league. The Blue Hens jumped out to a 1-0 first period lead on the strength of a Andre Menard goal at 11:30. Navy knotted the contest at 8:21 in the second stanza when junior Sam Carlson knocked a rebound past Delaware goaltender S.J. Broadt, following an initial shot off the stick of senior Calen Mims. Sophomore Mitch Pulver picked up the other assist on Carlson's goal, his team leading 13th of the season. Just when it seemed the Mids were starting to dominate play, the Blue Hens struck for two goals within a 15-second span: Kevin Miller at 11:08 and Andrew Bailey at 11:23. Ahead 3-1, Delaware essentially put the game out of reach with a pair of tallies in the final minute of the middle period: Miller again at 19:13 and Menard again at 19:42. The Blue Hens scored two unanswered third period goals to close out the scoring. Sophomore Navy netminder Jameson Marshall recorded 27 saves, while his counterpart Broadt was credited with 18 stops. The Midshipmen men play host next weekend to Rhode Island for a pair of ESCHL games Friday and Saturday nights, January 29 and 30. Both contests start at 7:30 p.m.

Against a series of simplistic, epic-length blues shuffles, Young introduces a cast of small-town eccentrics -- led by a wizened hippie senior and his ecoterrorist flower-child granddaughter -- who can't hold the lazy narrative together but do allow our host to rant against big business, news media, and the man. About the time an FBI agent shoots the heroine's cat, prior to a ''Hair''-style love-in finale, you'll know you and Young have weathered his career low point together.

For the first time in more than a decade, the fines that the federal government can impose for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act are set to rise.
The U.S. Department of Justice said it will increase the maximum civil penalty to $75,000 for violations of ADA provisions requiring restaurants, movie theaters, schools and other businesses open to the public to be accessible and accommodate people with disabilities. Previously, the maximum was $55,000.
For any subsequent offenses, the fine will jump to $150,000 from a prior cap of $110,000, federal officials said.
The new penalties will apply to violations that occur after April 27.
The increases were announced in a final rule published in late March in the Federal Register and account for changes in inflation since the penalty figures were last set in 1999.

Now you can add more to teeth to jobs and cities.
Applies to violations that "occur" after April 27 – Does that refer to the date the violation is issued, or when the complaint was originally filed, or when the owner/design team knowingly ignored the requirements/
What about upping the fine for people that park in the Disbled parking are without a placard or a license plate? I know there a lot of Senior Citizens and family members who drive for their disabled family members, but they still have these items or proof that they are needed.
Of course, everyone has their own "pet peeve" when it comes to ADA violations but I feel one area that has not received much attention is the lack of any type of kind of lifting equipment that is required in medical facilities and diagnostic clinics. If anyone has had to have an MRI, CAT or PET Scan or a colonoscopy and use any type of wheeled mobility device, then you know what I'm talking about. It is ironic that I'm sitting next to a 5 gazillion dollar machine and humans are still trying to wrangle me out of my powerchair to place me on the "tray" that slides into the machine. I have used a wheelchair for the past 55 years and have not taken so much as 1 step on my feet in all that time. Believe it or not, many clinics that do colonoscopies require folks who use wheelchairs to be admitted to a hospital for the exam. Those dollars might be better used to purchase lifts, etc.
It always bothered me at a large company I used to work for that during fire drill evacuations anyone who could not walk down stairs was told to wait in the stairwell on whatever floor they were on and wait for assistance. There has got to be a better way to navigate stairs, going down, for those with mobility challenges. In a real disaster/fire without use of the elevator, there has to be a better way.
Are churches included in the ADA regulations? I have heard that NEW building/construction must meet regulations as do "new" parsonages. Are the older church buildings required to be updated?
I just read the article about stiffer penalties on businesses who don't have accommodations for people with disabilities. I have been to several public places that are not accessible to wheelchairs. How do I get these people to realize there are fines for this?
The problem with lawyers and handicapped people is that when a company is not ADA compliant, you guys sue for lots of money. This kills small stores, and a lot of them have gone out of business because of the high amount of money being paid out. It should be like the following:
If a company is not ada compliant, then the 1st form of action should be "you have "x" amount of days to fix it before you are levied with fines". If the company does not fix the ada problem, then fines shall be put in place, "x" amount $$/day until it is fixed.

Despite having their share of troubles on the hardwood, both East Side and Ruleville walked away victorious. Ruleville edged by the Kossuth Lady Aggies 64-61 in Ruleville, while East Side beat the Booneville Lady Blue Devils 62-46 at the D.M. Smith Gymnasium at East Side High School.
With the wins, both schools will now advance to the 3A North State Tournament, which will be held at Ripley High School beginning Thursday.
The Trojanettes (25-4) will play Charleston at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, and the Lady Tigers (18-7) will play the winner of the Nettleton-North Panola game at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Nettleton and North Panola will play at 6 p.m. tonight.
The Ruleville Central game with Kossuth was tight from the start with the Lady Tigers leading 25-22 going into halftime, but with 10 seconds left Kossuth's Darbie Coleman hit a three-point shot for a 25-25 tie at the break.
With the Lady Tigers holding on to a one-point lead with under three minutes left to play, Ruleville's Shakira Singleton broke free for a lay-up, but the ball rolled off the rim and Kossuth rebounded. With the ball, Bradley was fouled and went to the line and made both free throws for a 52-51 Kossuth lead.
Cockrell responded immediately with a basket to regain the lead at 53-52, but Coleman came right back and knocked down a three-point bucket for Kossuth to regain the lead at 55-53 with 2:30 left in the game.
Trailing by two, Cockrell came through again and tied the game at 55-55 with 2:10 remaining in the game.
The game continued with a back-and-forth pattern until Cockrell scored with 17 seconds lead to give Ruleville a 63-61 lead. On Kossuth's next possession, Singleton stole the ball away and was fouled. She made one free throw for a 64-61 lead with 4.4 seconds left on the clock and that was enough to put Ruleville over the top.
Cockrell finished with a team-high 29 points.
"Brunetta put us on her back and carried us tonight down the stretch. We needed everything she gave us tonight," Ruleville head coach Chiquita Bracey said..
Singleton aided the Lady Tigers with 13 points, followed by Finn with nine points.
In the other 3A showdown, the Trojanettes came out a bit sluggish in their offensive and defensive play, but turned things on in the second half to secure the victory.
The Trojanettes trailed the Lady Blue Devils 29-28 at halftime.
In the third quarter East Side turned up the defensive intensity and opened the period with a 14-0 run to take a 42-29 lead.
"We didn't do too much in the first half," East Side head coach Jaboria Walker said. "I give the girls the liberty to read and react to what they see out there and that got us in a little trouble. In the second half, we adjusted and played a lot better. We got back to playing solid basketball."
Cotton led East Side with 27 points and 11 rebounds. Carvacier Sanders flirted with a triple-double as she scored 19 points with nine rebounds and nine steals, and Errica Blair added seven points with eight rebounds to aid the Trojanettes.

Men's Grooming—Worth the Hype?
By Briony Davies
Posted: April 30, 2008, from the May 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 2
Optimism reigns
Although men's grooming has not delivered the dramatic growth heralded in 2000, Euromonitor International forecasts the category will increase by $3.5 billion, at a global level, by 2011, and the potential offered by emerging regions is clear. In developed markets, products are becoming both increasingly segmented and sophisticated. In May 2007, U.K. supermarket chain Asda broke new ground by announcing plans to develop sunscreens containing "butch, ultra-masculine" scents—including beer. It will be the first time a mainstream label offers targeted men's sun care. Men's makeup line launches, however, generated the most publicity for the sector, with recent headlines focusing on the developments of a mascara and a concealer for men. Self-tan is proving to be big news in men's grooming, as well.
Such launches are undoubtedly raising the profile of men's grooming products generally, but it is questionable as to whether they are making use more acceptable. Attitudes take a long time to change, and Euromonitor International predicts real growth in men's grooming products is a longer-term prospect.
It will not be until the generations of men that have been brought up with the notion of the three-step facial care regimen, for example, that the men's toiletries subsector will begin to catch up to shaving products in value sales terms. Manufacturers can make immediate gains, however, by offering male-specific versions of already-accepted toiletries.

Chula Vista Districting Commission Training, January 21, 2015 (PDF)
The Chula Vista Districting Commission has been formed to select and recommend four City Council districts to be used in future City elections. The seven-member commission has been sworn in and will begin a process for holding public meetings, proposing districts, conducting public outreach, and finalizing recommendations to submit to the City Council.
Currently, Chula Vista residents vote for each council candidate citywide. In 2012, voters approved an amendment to the City Charter that City Councilmembers will be elected by geographic district beginning with the 2016 election. Those running for Council must reside in the district they wish to represent and residents will vote only for candidates in their respective district. For example, the Councilmember serving District 1 will reside in District 1 and be elected only by voters who reside in District 1. The Mayor will continue to be elected at-large by all voters in the City.
A consultant will be selected to work with the Districting Commission members and will assist in developing district boundary recommendations and conducting a public outreach process. The members will have several months to complete the task of recommending the boundaries for the four electoral districts.
All commission members live in and are registered to vote in the City of Chula Vista. The seven-member commission is:
Rita Buencamino-Andrews Ms. Buencamino-Andrews is a retired analyst from the City Clerk's office, City of San Diego. She served as a Partnership Specialist for 2010 U.S. Census. She has been recognized for exemplary leadership and service to the Filipino American community.
Patty Chavez Ms. Chavez is a Communications Consultant with experience in marketing and public outreach in public, private and non-profit sectors. She served as an appointed Chula Vista City Councilmember, Community Relations Director for South Bay Community Services, and is actively involved in several service organizations.

Dr. John Korey Dr. Korey is a retired professor of Political Science from Cal Poly Pomona. He has published papers on political and voting trends, civic engagement, and California politics. He has been active in local service organizations and was an instructor for citizenship training classes.
Dr. Reynaldo Monzon Dr. Monzon is an administrator at San Diego State University. He has been involved in various committees, councils and community based organizations in Chula Vista including the Chula Vista Elementary School District and Sweetwater Union High School District.
William Richter Mr. Richter is an administrative associate at Sempra U.S. Gas & Power. He has experience in government affairs and communications. He has been involved in community and civic efforts and served on the City of Chula Vista Charter Review Commission.
Jerome Torres Mr. Torres is a former Chairperson of the Redistricting Commission for the Long Beach Community College District and participated in the redistricting of the Council Districts for the City of Long Beach. He is a Senior Management Analyst and Risk Manager for the City of Coronado and has served as an analyst on the city, county, school district and university level.
The first Commission established will recommend a Districting Plan establishing four Council districts for use in the 2016 general municipal election. Future Commissions will recommend a Districting Plan for adjusting the boundaries of the four Council districts within one year of receipt by the City of the final Federal Decennial Census information.
One or more independent consultants will work with the Commission in developing the Districting Plans.
Eligibility to Serve
The Districting Commission will consist of seven members.
**Please note: Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.25.030.C prohibits individuals from serving on more than one City board or commission at a time. Current members of a City board or commission are permitted to apply (except Charter Review Commissioners); however, if selected for the Districting Commission, they must resign from their current position in order to serve.
Selection Process
The members of the first Districting Commission will be appointed as soon as practicable, with the goal of having the first members determined by July 2014, and have the City Council approval of the initial Final Districting Plan by June 30, 2015.
The procedure for member appointment is as follows:
Member Terms
In accordance with Charter section 300.5.J, the Districting Commission will serve until its dissolution the 91st day following approval of a Final Districting Plan.
The Districting Commission will establish its regular meeting day, time, and location by written resolution. Meetings will be held openly and in compliance with the Brown Act.

Brewing Tea in a Kettle of War (BTKW), a film in development, will look from Afghan villagers' perspectives at the impact of outsiders coming into their communities trying to help them. Specifically, international audiences will experience what it is like when foreign soldiers, contractors and the Afghan government arrive with aid. Through these stories the benefits of bottom up versus the costs of top down development approaches and the impact of local versus foreign ownership will be revealed. These parallel stories will allow the international community a unique insight into the sustainability of these different approaches as both external and internal forces struggle for peace in war-weary and self-determined Afghanistan.
Watch the trailer:
Check out this new curriculum based on the Brewing Tea in a Kettle of War trailer!
Primary Source, an organization that connects educators with history and humanities resources from around the world, has developed an educational curriculum using Brewing Tea in a Kettle of War. BTKW's trailer is used as a springboard to analyze post-conflict reconstruction in Afghanistan, drawing comparisons between the top-down approach of the Provincial Reconstruction Team and the bottom-up approach of the National Solidarity Program.

French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault says a failure to react would allow Syrian President Bashar Assad to launch a similar gas attack again. | AP Photo
Updated: September 4, 2013 10:19AM
PARIS — France's prime minister says there's no doubt that the Syrian government carried out a deadly chemical attack against civilians — and that a failure to react would allow President Bashar Assad to launch a similar attack again.
Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault addressed parliament Wednesday during a debate to rally support for a military strike again Syria. The U.S. and France accuse Assad's Syrian government of using chemical weapons in an Aug. 21 attack on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus that killed hundreds.
Ayrault said the attack killed nearly 1,500 people — a higher figure than the French government has used before.
He is in the delicate position of trying to shore up support amid deep skepticism in France while also waiting to see if the U.S. Congress authorizes military action next week.

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 Kealey!
Facts about Kealey
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Kealey's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hello – my name is Kealey. I came to PAWS in the Spring of 2007. As you can see I have BYOOTIFUL markings and am as cute as a button (if I do say so myself).
I am only about 7 months old, I've been spayed and I'm really enjoying the company of the other cats. I was surrendered by a family who adopted me from another rescue organization but they were at work all day and I was lonely. They should have just adopted 2 special kitties 'cause most of us felines enjoy the company of other cats – as I do.
I do have a pal here at the PAWS shelter by the name of Rocky – perhaps you would like to adopt us both? He's kinda like my big Brother – always grooming me and we like to horse around a bit too.
Both of us are in excellent heath and are very friendly and playful. I definitely need a playmate to keep me company; if I'd had this in the first place I would have been a much happier kitty!! And, by the way, I'm fine with dogs as well!!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kealey, a Toronto Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Toronto, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Toronto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Toronto 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 Toronto 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Toronto paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and I want to thank everyone ahead of time for their time and info. I recently purchased three 8-gallon Oregon Breather growing containers. They are similar to the Smart-Pot but are more ruggedly builty, and from what I gather were the original fabric pot. Anywho, I researched tons of diff tomato varieties to grow in an 8-gallon container (14" W x 12" H), but ended up with 1,000 diff answers. I finally decided on the determinate "Sweet Tangerine" hybrid. But before I pull the trigger, I wanted to see if any of you have had success growing indeterminate varieties in an 8-gallon pot. I've heard a couple diff people swear by the 5 gallon bucket method, and if that's true then I would have plenty of room. I would like to grow some indeterminate cherry tomatoes, and my potting mix will be a modified version of Al's 5-1-1 with an added 1-part compost. Not only is it a perfect proportion for an 8-gallon container, but it should aid in water retention, since the OB is already built for plenty of root aeration and drainage. Anyways, I'd love to hear what you guys think, and pics would be awesome. Thanks. |

This December, the Observer will hold a gala celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, an event that is rather amazing for a small, regional, printed-on-newsprint magazine that has flirted with death many times in recent years. (Full disclosure: I'm a contributing writer for the Observer. I've also written for Texas Monthly). Financial struggles are nothing new to the Observer, which has been running on a sometimes ragged shoestring since it was founded by Ronnie Dugger in 1954. Since then, the magazine has gained fame for its relentless muckraking and for its editors, who include Willie Morris, who later edited Harper's magazine, as well as Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, and several others.
The Observer, which has only 7,000 paid subscribers, will never compete with Texas Monthly or the other big news outlets in the state. But the magazine is now stable and financially solvent. And part of the reason for that stability, ironically, is George W. Bush. "Renewals have been good this year because of interest in Texas politics and in Bush," says the magazine's co-editor, Barbara Belejack.
Although Bush has moved to Washington, the Observer continues to run lots of anti-Bush pieces. Last November, the magazine ran a piece by columnist Hightower which said that "This is not America, the Land of the Free, but a new land of Bush autocracy." Two weeks later, it ran a piece by Molly Ivins that skewered the Bush administration's efforts to put a positive spin on the problems in Iraq. "Bush has been touting the cheerful reports brought back by congressional delegations," she wrote. "Right. It's so secure in Iraq, the delegations spent their nights in Kuwait." Belejack told CJR that readers shouldn't expect much change from the Observer in the years to come. "Bush and his administration are about crony capitalism and the abuse of power. They've given the Texas Observer — and all journalists — lots to do."
The editorial pages at several Texas papers are showing their unhappiness with the Iraq War, Bush's fiscal policies, and his swing to the right.
On February 26, the Waco Tribune-Herald, the paper closest to Bush's homestead in Crawford (which sits about fifteen miles west of Waco), excoriated the president for his support of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. "Bush's unnecessarily divisive call for constitutional activism is more likely to be remembered as election-year political grandstanding than as a serious threat to the constitutional rights of a group of Americans," said the paper. The editorial concluded with a direct shot at Bush's campaign slogan that he was a "uniter, not a divider." Supporting the amendment, the Tribune-Herald said, "is the act of a divider, not a uniter. The issue of gay marriages should be left to the states." That piece followed a pair of editorials in January that criticized Bush's fiscal policies, including a January 28 piece titled "Strangulation by Debt."
The recent editorials are a sharp contrast to the tone taken by the Waco paper in October 2000, when it gave Bush an unqualified endorsement in the presidential race. In its endorsement, the paper said Bush "offers Americans the hope that his leadership can break the regrettable gridlock that has characterized government in Washington in recent years. As governor, Bush took the lead in establishing a tone of mutual respect and bipartisanship in Austin. That spirit of working together to solve common problems is sorely needed in the nation's capital." The editorial went on, "The people who know Bush the best, Texans, support him the most. That's a telling point."
The Houston Chronicle endorsed Bush for president in 2000 as well, saying that he offered "Americans sincerely held beliefs and a blameless record in public office." But since 2002 — and particularly in the months leading up to the second Iraq War — the paper in America's fourth-largest city has been sharply critical of Bush. In a March 9, 2003, editorial, the paper said the Bush administration "has managed to get the United States crosswise with some of its principal allies — Turkey, France and Germany. Bush's fixation on Iraq has also aggravated rifts with Russian, China and other regional powers." The piece also scoffed at Bush's claim that he had not made up his mind about military action, writing that "Americans can be forgiven for not trusting their president on this point." Nine days later, on March 18, the paper said that in its rush to go to war the Bush administration had "left the United States paying a price in failed diplomacy, upended alliances and globally bad public relations." The same editorial warned about the dangers that lurked in rebuilding Iraq after the war. "Perhaps the administration will learn from its prewar diplomatic ineptitudes and will manage this area more skillfully. Perhaps."
