Time Out of Mind: The Lives of Bob Dylan
The second volume in Ian Bell's magisterial two-part biography of the ever-evolving and enigmatic Bob Dylan By the middle of the 1970s, Bob Dylan's position as the pre-eminent artist of his generation was assured. The 1975 album Blood on the Tracks seemed to prove, finally, that an uncertain age had found its poet. Then Dylan faltered. His instincts, formerly unerring, deserted him. in the 1980s,Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited
Highway 61 Revisited resonates because of its enduring emotional appeal. Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In "Like a Rolling Stone," his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite "type"?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem. In "BalladNo Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan
Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer first arrived in New York. He became Dylan's friend champion and critic. This book first published in 1986 was hailed as the definitive unauthorized biography of this moody passionate genius and hisDesolation Row: Bob Dylan's epic poem revisited
Desolation Row (released in August 1965 on the album Highway 61 Revisited) is not your average pop song. More like an epic poem set to music. Its epic-ness comes not from its relatively short length as epic poems go, but from the depth and breadth of its themes. It is very rare to find a song with such density of meaning. Most songs on the radio do not stray much past the theme of romantic love.The Bob Dylan Banjo Chord Songbook
Complete with full lyrics and easy-to-read chord boxes, this songbook allows Banjo players to pick and sing along to 30 of Dylan's greatest hits, including All Along The Watchtower, Blowin' In The Wind, Like A Rolling Stone, The Times They Are A-Changin' and more.

On April 23, 1999, then-St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Fernando Tatis smacked a record two, count 'em, two grand slams off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park in the same inning.
Now, fourteen years later, Tatis has taken to Twitter to smack talk the Korean hurler.
Now, I don't want to be this guy...but I will. Sure, on that day, Tatis might've got the better of Park. It's true. But, overall, I've gotta go with the Korean sensation.
As far as "where are they now?"...Park recently called it quits after a pretty storied career. During his 17 years in the Majors, the righty compiled a 124-98 record (the most wins among Asian born pitchers) and a 4.36 ERA. From 1997 to 2001, Park rattled off five consecutive years with more than 13 victories for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
On the flip side of the coin, Tatis has 2289 Twitter followers. Oh, and those two grand slams.

I remember a couple summers ago, I was obsessed with the name Annabel Miriam _____ or Annabel ____ Miriam. I can't remember which, and I can't remember the other name it was paired with. Annabel Miriam Giselle? Annabel Miriam Hope? Annabel Miriam Serena? Annabel Serena Miriam? I seriously can't remember, haha, but I do like Annabel and Miriam paired together. Miriam Annabel? Or even something like Miriam Anneliese, Miriam Anais? Miriam Shea I even like, despite my distaste for unisex names on girls. I think someone on here used Miriam Elodie fairly recently--I think that really "pops" Miriam.

- Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour with transport from Rome to Vatican City
- Skip the lines at the Vatican Museums with a fast-track entrance ticket
- See top Vatican attractions: Giuseppe Momo's spiral staircase, Gallery of the Tapestries and Gallery of Maps
- Visit the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica and admire Michelangelo masterpieces like La Pieta
- Upgrade to a full-day tour with an optional lunch, and see the sites of Christian Rome in the afternoon
- Visit Basilica of San Giovanni, the Roman catacombs and Baths of Caracalla (full-day tour only)
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
It's a Vatican tour that can fit a variety of budgets and schedules. Whatever option you choose, you'll avoid long lines at the Vatican Museums and see some top sights in Rome, too!
What You Can Expect
Choose from a morning or afternoon tour, and then board your air-conditioned coach near Rome Termini Station or at your centrally located hotel. Travel the short journey to Vatican City in comfort, passing alongside sites like Piazza del Popolo and the ancient Aurelian Walls.
Hop off your coach and skip past the long entrance lines with your priority-access ticket to enter the Vatican Museums. The complex is home to one of the world's largest collections of art, featuring an extensive array of treasures amassed by the Vatican popes. Follow your guide down Giuseppe Momo's bronze spiral staircase – an iconic Vatican attraction – and then visit two of the museum's star attractions: Gallery of the Tapestries and Gallery of Maps.
Admire the Flemish tapestries that adorn the walls of the first room, and learn how they were based on paintings by students of the Renaissance supremo Raphael. Gaze in wonder at the detailed topographical maps inside the Galley of Maps, and then leave the museum area to walk into the Sistine Chapel. Talking is not permitted inside the sacred site, so walk around at leisure and marvel at its two Michelangelo frescoes – The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgement.
Finish your tour with a walk around St Peter's Basilica, the home of the Catholic Church. Admire more artistic treasures like Michelangelo's La Pieta sculpture and Bernini's Baldachino, and hear little-known stories about the church's history. Head back to your coach and make use of a drop-off at your hotel or one of several central locations in town.
Full-Day Tour or Full-Day Tour with Lunch:
Upgrade to the Full-Day Tour to combine the Morning Tour with a Christian Rome walking tour in the afternoon. If you opt to include lunch, your guide will drop you off at a traditional restaurant in the center for a delicious 2-course meal with a drink.
Meet your guide at the pre-arranged time, and set off to see the Christian landmarks of Rome. Walk around Esquiline Hill, the largest of the ancient Seven Hills of Rome, and head inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore – a lovely 5th-century church on the summit. After exploring inside, stroll to the Holy Stairs (Scala Santa) and stop for photos by Lateran Palace, an old papal residence.
Visit the Basilica of San Giovanni with your guide, and then continue walking along the Ancient Appian Way, a historical road that dates back to around 300 BC. The lane is home to several pretty churches and catacombs (underground cemeteries), and your guide will point out several of the best. See the Chapel of Domine Quo Vadis, and then visit one of the three famous catacombs: San Callisto, Domitilla or San Sebastiano. After exploring underground, visit the old spa ruins at the Baths of Caracalla, and then finish your tour with a hotel drop-off or a drop-off in town.
Customer Reviews
December 2014
This tour was excellent much better than what I expected. The only down side was that after the tour we were not taken back to our hotels . They dropped us off at sights meant to be near our hotels , but some of us had really long walks in the dark and we were all very tired anyway.
December 2014
Exceptional! We were very lucky that it wasn't hugely busy which increased the pleasure of this visit in Nov, and the fact that we took the 2:30 tour meant that when we came out it was dark and we saw the Vatican lit up. Our guide was very informative and helpful. Words cannot describe how awesome the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museum and St Peter's Basilica are.
From the booking perspective, it was not clear which hotels they pick you up from and in actual fact there were no hotel pick ups on our tour. Also, make sure you know where their office is locate to catch the bus to start the tour. They do drop people off at a few designated spots on the way back which was very helpful.
Awesome tour, thoroughly recommend it. :)

Making Sense of the Senseless
It's difficult to even imagine the pain and the depth of suffering that the families of the slain children of Sandy Hook Elementary School must now endure. No one should ever have to bury a child; no one should have to live a life whose happiness and serenity have been forever shattered by senseless acts of murder. No one should ever have to send their child off to school and worry that they might never see them again. And yet, in Newtown, as in Virginia Tech or in Columbine before them, the greatest fear of every parent became a tragic reality.

Telebit ships two new analog and ISDN remote access products: MicaBlazer remote access server and the MICA Granite for NetBlazer; High-density, high-performance, low-cost digital modem remote access solutions for enterprises and ISPs.
CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 1996. Telebit Corp. (NASDAQ: TBIT), an innovator of remote access digital communications, today announced the general availability of two new remote access products based on Telebit's award-winning Modem ISDN Channel Aggregation (MICA) technology -- the MicaBlazer remote access server and the MICA Granite for NetBlazer digital modem card.MicaBlazer is a fully-integrated remote access server that is preconfigured with 24 to 60 v.34 digital modems. MICA Granite for NetBlazer is a high-density digital modem card, available in configurations of 24 and 30 digital modems, that plugs into Telebit's NetBlazer remote access server, providing the NetBlazer with up to 60 v.34 internal digital modems. Both products incorporate Telebit's second-generation MICA digital modem technology. MICA uses advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to aggregate all network traffic, both analog and ISDN, onto high-capacity T1/E1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI) lines, providing a cost-effective, streamlined remote access application.
Designed for the central site and for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), MicaBlazer and MICA Granite Card for NetBlazer provide low-cost, high-density, flexible remote access solutions that can accommodate both ISDN and dial-in analog modem users. "We're thrilled with our MICA implementation and can't wait to upgrade our remote POPs (Point of Presence)," said James Fabin, System Administrator for eNET Inc., the largest ISP in Ohio. "MicaBlazer provides solid, reliable performance even during heavy usage, while other solutions often break under strenuous conditions."
"Our new MICA-based products represent a breakthrough in remote access," said James D. Norrod, president and CEO of Telebit Corp. "By incorporating our new MICA all-digital modem technology into the MicaBlazer and NetBlazer, we've defined new benchmarks in remote access solutions."
Unique All-Digital Implementation Results in Superior Performance
Unlike first generation digital modem applications, MICA uses an all-digital implementation. The architecture eliminates the digital-to-analog-to-digital conversion normally associated with first generation technology, allowing the digital signal coming through the ISDN line to stay digital. The result is a cleaner signal path, with less noise introduced into the process and higher speed connection rates.
Highest Port Density
MICA supports multiple modem sessions per DSP and multiple DSPs per ISA card, yielding twice the density of other solutions. Only Telebit has compressed as many as 30 digital modems on a single ISA card, making it the highest port density in the industry.
Low Price per Port
Digital modem technology usually represents the major cost in a remote access solution. Because Telebit has developed its own modem technology, it is able to set new standards in price per port at 30-50 percent less than other solutions.
The MicaBlazer multiprotocol remote access server is pre-configured with the MICA digital modem card set. It comes standard with two T1/E1/PRI ports, 24 or 30 internal digital modems, a STAC compression card, a single tri-media ethernet port, a 100 MHz 486 CPU and 8MB of RAM. MicaBlazer is available in two models - the MicaBlazer T24, which includes a dual T1 PRI card and 24 digital modems, and the MicaBlazer E30, which includes a dual E1 PRI card and 30 digital modems. The base configuration may be upgraded with up to 60 digital modems, to be made available at a future time.
MICA Granite for NetBlazer
The MICA Granite digital modem card transforms the NetBlazer 40i remote access server into a high-density, fully-integrated analog and ISDN solution with up to 60 internal digital modems. MICA Granite for NetBlazer is available in two versions - the DM24, with 24 digital modems for T1 standards, and the DM30, with 30 digital modems for E1 standards. Configurations of 6, 12 and 18 modems will be available at a future time.
Price and Availability
MicaBlazer and MICA Granite for NetBlazer are now available for purchase through Telebit's standard distribution channels. The MicaBlazer T24 model is priced at $17,999 (USD) and the MicaBlazer E30 model is priced at $19,799 (USD). MICA Granite Card DM24 is priced at $8,999 (USD) and MICA Granite Card DM30 is priced at $10,999 (USD).

A first hand look from the .NET engineering teams
This post was written by Stephen Toub, a frequent contributor to the Parallel Programming in .NET blog. He shows us how Visual Studio 2012 and an attention to detail can help you discover unnecessary allocations in your app that can prevent it from achieving higher performance.
Visual Studio 2012 has a wealth of valuable functionality, so much so that I periodically hear developers that already use Visual Studio asking for a feature the IDE already has and that they've just never discovered. Other times, I hear developers asking about a specific feature, thinking it's meant for one purpose, not realizing it's really intended for another.
Both of these cases apply to Visual Studio's .NET memory allocation profiler. Many developers that could benefit from it don't know it exists, and other developers have an incorrect expectation for its purpose. This is unfortunate, as the feature can provide a lot of value for particular scenarios; many developers will benefit from understanding first that it exists, and second the intended scenarios for its use.
When it comes to .NET and memory analysis, there are two primary reasons one would want to use a diagnostics tool:
The .NET memory profiler included in Visual Studio 2012 (Professional and higher versions) was designed primarily to address the latter case of helping to discover unnecessary allocations, and it's quite useful towards that goal, as the rest of this post will explore. The tool is not tuned for the former case of finding and fixing memory leaks, though this is an area the Visual Studio diagnostics team is looking to address in depth for the future (you can see such an experience for JavaScript that was added to Visual Studio as part of VS2012.1). While the tool today does have an advanced option to track when objects are collected, it doesn't help you to understand why objects weren't collected or why they were held onto longer than was expected.
There are also other useful tools in this space. The downloadable PerfView tool doesn't provide as user-friendly an interface as does the .NET memory profiler in Visual Studio 2012, but it is a very powerful tool that supports both tasks of finding memory leaks and discovering unnecessary allocations. It also supports profiling Windows Store apps, which the .NET memory allocation profiler in Visual Studio 2012 does not currently support as of the writing of this post.
To better understand the memory profiler's role and how it can help, let's walk through an example. We'll start with the core method that we'll be looking to optimize (in a real-world case, you'd likely be analyzing your whole application and narrowing in on the particular offending areas, but for the purpose of this example, we'll keep this constrained):
public static async Task<T> WithCancellation1<T>(this Task<T> task, CancellationToken cancellationToken) { var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<bool>(); using (cancellationToken.Register(() => tcs.TrySetResult(true))) if (task != await Task.WhenAny(task, tcs.Task)) throw new OperationCanceledException(cancellationToken); return await task; }
The purpose of this small method is to enable code to await a task in a cancelable manner, meaning that regardless of whether the task has completed, the developer wants to be able to stop waiting for it. Instead of writing code like:
T result = await someTask;
the developer would write:
T result = await someTask.WithCancellation1(token);
and if cancellation is requested on the relevant CancellationToken before the task completes, an OperationCanceledException will be thrown. This is achieved in WithCancellation1 by wrapping the original task in an async method. The method creates a second task that will complete when cancellation is requested (by Registering a call to TrySetResult with the CancellationToken), and then uses Task.WhenAny to wait for either the original task or the cancellation task to complete. As soon as either does, the async method completes, either by throwing a cancellation exception if the cancellation task completed first, or by propagating the outcome of the original task by awaiting it. (For more details, see the blog post "How do I cancel non-cancelable async operations?")
To understand the allocations involved in this method, we'll use a small harness method:
using System; using System.Threading; using System.Threading.Tasks; class Harness { static void Main() { Console.ReadLine(); // wait until profiler attaches TestAsync().Wait(); } static async Task TestAsync() { var token = CancellationToken.None; for(int i=0; i<100000; i++) await Task.FromResult(42).WithCancellation1(token); } } static class Extensions { public static async Task<T> WithCancellation1<T>( this Task<T> task, CancellationToken cancellationToken) { var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<bool>(); using (cancellationToken.Register(() => tcs.TrySetResult(true))) if (task != await Task.WhenAny(task, tcs.Task)) throw new OperationCanceledException(cancellationToken); return await task; } }
The TestAsync method will iterate 100,000 times. Each time, it creates a new task, invokes the WithCancellation1 on it, and awaits the result of that WithCancellation1 call. This await will complete synchronously, as the task created by Task.FromResult is returned in an already completed state, and the WithCancellation1 method itself doesn't introduce any additional asynchrony such that the task it returns will complete synchronously as well.
To start the memory allocation profiler, in Visual Studio go to the Analyze menu and select "Launch Performance Wizard…". This will open a dialog like the following:
Choose ".NET memory allocation (sampling)", click Next twice, followed by Finish (if this is the first time you've used the profiler since you logged into Windows, you'll need to accept the elevation prompt so the profiler can start). At that point, the application will be launched and the profiler will start monitoring it for allocations (the harness code above also requires that you press 'Enter', in order to ensure the profiler has attached by the time the program starts the real test). When the app completes, or when you manually choose to stop profiling, the profiler will load symbols and will start analyzing the trace. That's a good time to go and get yourself a cup of coffee, or lunch, as depending on how many allocations occurred, the tool can take a while to do this analysis.
When the analysis completes, we're presented with a summary of the allocations that occurred, including highlighting the functions that allocated the most memory, the types that resulted in the most memory allocated, and the types with the most instances allocated:
From there, we can drill in further, by looking at the allocations summary (choose "Allocation" from the "Current View" dropdown):
Here, we get to see a row for each type that was allocated, with the columns showing information about how many allocations were tracked, how much space was associated with those allocations, and what percentage of allocations mapped back to that type. We can also expand an entry to see the stack of method calls that resulted in these allocations:
By selecting the "Functions" view, we can get a different pivot on this data, highlighting which functions allocated the most objects and bytes:
With this capability, we can analyze our example's results. First, we can see that there's a substantial number of allocations here, which might be surprising. After all, in our example we were using WithCancellation1 with a task that was already completed, which means there should have been very little work to do (with the task already done, there is nothing to cancel), and yet from the above trace we can see that each iteration of our example is resulting in:
That's nine allocations for a case where we might expect only one (the task allocation we explicitly asked for in the harness by calling Task.FromResult), with our WithCancellation1 method incurring eight allocations.
For helper operations on tasks, it's actually fairly common to deal with already completed tasks, as often times operations implemented to be asynchronous will actually complete synchronously (e.g. one read operation on a network stream may buffer into memory enough additional data to fulfill a subsequent read operation). As such, optimizing for the already completed case can be really beneficial for performance. Let's try. Here's a second attempt at WithCancellation, one that optimizes for several "already completed" cases:
public static Task<T> WithCancellation2<T>(this Task<T> task, CancellationToken cancellationToken) { if (task.IsCompleted || !cancellationToken.CanBeCanceled) return task; else if (cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested) return new Task<T>(() => default(T), cancellationToken); else return task.WithCancellation1(cancellationToken); }
This implementation checks:
Re-profiling our micro-benchmark while using WithCancellation2 instead of WithCancellation1 provides a much improved outlook (you'll likely notice that the analysis completes much more quickly than it did before, already a sign that we've significantly decreased memory allocation). Now we have just have the primary allocation we expected, the one from Task.FromResult called from our TestAsync method in the harness:
So, we've now successfully optimized the case where the task is already completed, where cancellation can't be requested, or where cancellation has already been requested. What about the case where we do actually need to invoke the more complicated logic? Are there any improvements that can be made there?
Let's change our benchmark to use a task that's not already completed by the time we invoke WithCancellation2, and also to use a token that can have cancellation requested. This will ensure we make it to the "slow" path:
static async Task TestAsync() { var token = new CancellationTokenSource().Token; for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>(); var t = tcs.Task.WithCancellation2(token); tcs.SetResult(42); await t; } }
Profiling again provides more insight:
On this slow path, there are now 14 total allocations per iteration, including the 2 from our TestAsync harness (the TaskCompletionSource<int> we explicitly create, and the Task<int> it creates). At this point, we can use all of the information provided by the profiling results to understand where the remaining 12 allocations are coming from and to then address them as is relevant and possible. For example, let's look at two allocations specifically: the <>c__DisplayClass2`1 instance and one of the two Action instances. These two allocations will likely be logical to anyone familiar with how the C# compiler handles closures. Why do we have a closure? Because of this line:
using(cancellationToken.Register(() => tcs.TrySetResult(true)))
The call to Register is closing over the 'tcs' variable. But this isn't strictly necessary: the Register method has another overload which instead of taking an Action takes an Action<object> and the object state to be passed to it. If we instead rewrite this line to use that state-based overload, along with a manually cached delegate, we can avoid the closure and those two allocations:
private static readonly Action<object> s_cancellationRegistration = s => ((TaskCompletionSource<bool>)s).TrySetResult(true); … using(cancellationToken.Register(s_cancellationRegistration, tcs))
Rerunning the profiler confirms those two allocations are no longer occurring:
This cycle of profiling, finding and eliminating hotspots, and then going around again is a common approach towards improving the performance of your code, whether using a CPU profiler or a memory profiler. So, if you find yourself in a scenario where you determine that minimizing allocations is important for the performance of your code, give the .NET memory allocation profiler in Visual Studio 2012 a try. Feel free to download the sample project used in this blog post.
For more on profiling, see the blog of the Visual Studio Diagnostics team, and ask them questions in the Visual Studio Diagnostics forum.

Follow us on Twitter (@dotnet) and Facebook (dotnet). You can follow other .NET teams, too: @aspnet/asp.net, @efmagicunicorns/efmagicunicorns, @visualstudio/visualstudio.
@David: the allocation profiler does not support attach/detach. I tried it out and it is falling back to CPU profiling when you click attach/detach. This is confusing, it should instead show you an error dialog or the option should be grayed out.
If you right click on the session and click "start profiling" you do get the memory allocation report, but unfortunately there is no way to attach to a running process because of a limitation in the method used to collect the allocation data.
Same tool is exist in Visual Studio 2010 and we had tried couple of time however could not reach conclusion so finally used redgate profiler.
I find it rather ironic that the memory profiler, just about every time I try to use it, crashes with an out of memory exception (on any machine that I try to use it on). It seems it's only of any use when you have a small application with a small memory over-head.

March 3, 2015 at 4:32 pm | In Gatewood, Safety, West Seattle news | 2 CommentsThat's Victor Gonzalez-Arredondo, child-safety expert at Swedish Automotive (WSB sponsor). This Thursday and Friday, 11 am-2 pm, he'll be front and center offering free safety checks of baby/child car seats – all you have to do is drop by Swedish, 35th/Kenyon. (All makes of vehicles welcome for the safety checks, by the way!)
Update: Pickup truck flips in Gatewood, hit-run driver flees
February 22, 2015 at 3:18 am | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 16 Comments(Added: WSB photos by Tracy Record)
3:16 AM UPDATE: Busy night for emergency responders. Now there's word of a flipped pickup truck in Gatewood, near 39th/Myrtle. It went out as a major "heavy rescue" response but most units have been canceled. We're checking it out.
3:37 AM UPDATE: Police told us at the scene that the pickup's driver was gone when they arrived, so this is a hit-and-run. The driver appears to have hit a parked vehicle and a couple of mailboxes along 39th SW south of Myrtle before the truck flipped. So this is the second hit-and-run-away of the night in West Seattle.
About the police response at 35th/Austin in Gatewood
December 25, 2014 at 5:50 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle police | 35 CommentsWe've received several calls about a police response at 35th/Austin (map) – the original call was "assault with weapons"; one witness said there was a report of someone seen in the neighborhood with a gun. At the scene, officers told us it's being investigated as a case of suicide. SW Austin is blocked off on the west side of 35th SW.
(As always when mentioning suicide, we want to point out a local resource for those considering self-harm or otherwise in crisis: The Crisis Clinic has a 24-hour hotline, 206-461-3222.)

'Thank you a hundred times over': Friends of Gatewood postscript
October 9, 2014 at 3:13 am | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 27 Comments(WSB photo: Gatewood Elementary, SW Myrtle side)
Three and a half hours after publishing our Wednesday update on the Friends of Gatewood "keep a teacher" fundraising drive, we updated it with the official district announcement that the drive had met its goal. But the final word comes from the parents who organized and took action so quickly, and their public message of gratitude:
Today we received the wonderful news that we raised enough funds to keep our teacher that ensures that there will be no relocation on October 10th as the district letter originally mandated. Friends of Gatewood raised $66,758.52, the Go Fund Me account that was created last night raised around $1000. The online donation site will be closed since we met our goal.
This accomplishment is shared with many, many people with our school, West Seattle and supporters beyond. The vigor, concern and passion expressed by so many people made this goal a reality; the process exemplifies that improvements need to be made in many areas, that the problems are real and complex, and that our students and teachers will not take the brunt of the inadequacies of an imperfect public school system.
All schools are unique by virtue of the individuals who occupy them. Gatewood Elementary's infrastructure is more unique than the typical public elementary school. We stand by our students' needs and our teachers to set them up for success. Thank you a hundred times over for answering the call for help.
With gratitude,
Friends of Gatewood

Update: Why police are at Gatewood Elementary
October 8, 2014 at 2:30 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 41 Comments2:30 PM: Police are at Gatewood Elementary right now investigating a report that a child threatened a teacher with a knife. No one has been hurt; we're there and we have talked to staff. They don't expect this to interfere with normal dismissal this afternoon. (And if you're noticing a TV helicopter, this is the report they're checking out.)
2:46 PM: The district has issued a short update via Twitter: "No injuries at Gatewood after teacher reportedly threatened w/knife. Special-needs student being taken to hospital for evaluation." Per police-radio communication, the student is 9. As noted in our ongoing coverage of the Gatewood teacher-funding situation, the school has an inclusion program for EBD (emotional/behavioral disorder) students.
'We're being held for ransom': Anger voiced by Gatewood Elementary parents told to raise $90,000 to keep a teacher
October 8, 2014 at 10:19 am | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 49 Comments(1:44 PM UPDATE: SPS says in a statement that "Gatewood teaching staff will remain intact" because of the fundraising campaign – full statement is at the end of this story)

They're raising the money, but they're angry about it.
While one group of Gatewood Elementary parents filled the chairs at School Board director Marty McLaren's regular community-conversation meeting last night, another led a fundraiser at a private home, toward their goal of raising $90,000 – described by some as "ransom" – to keep Seattle Public Schools from removing a teacher from their school.
Though they learned about the planned cut less than a week ago (here's our original report), their fundraising campaign – including a hastily organized Saturday bake sale – has brought in $52,000.
That impressed McLaren, who opened last night's meeting by saying, "I just want to acknowledge the extraordinary show of force that the Gatewood community has made … my sense is that many people from West Seattle proper have really invested in this. It's really something."
But also really something the parents can't believe they have had to do.
"I am outraged," declared one attendee. "I am just outraged that a major-city school district would try and pull a stunt like this … I cannot believe we are being asked to pay for a teacher salary. This is a major city, I cannot imagine this happening anywhere else in the country." She drew applause.
"We're being held for ransom for someone else's mistake … and it feels precedent setting," said another. "I don't want a single dime of that money to go to the district that has a record of poor judgment and misuse … I feel it's going to happen to another school."
Followup: 'Biggest bake sale imaginable' Saturday as Gatewood Elementary families raise money to keep a teacher

West Seattle Blog editor
One day after news began to spread of a district-ordered teacher-reallocation move affecting two local elementary schools, one is launching a short-time, big-sum fundraising drive: $90,000 needed by Wednesday, to keep from losing a teacher.
We first reported Thursday afternoon on the situation that could result in one teacher being moved from Gatewood Elementary to newly reopened Fairmount Park Elementary. Fairmount has more students than planned for, the district says, while Gatewood has fewer first-graders than planned for.
While the district has not publicly identified the teacher that would be moved from Gatewood to Fairmount Park, Gatewood parents say the current version of the plan would move first-grade teacher Ms. Morgan. Parent Tracy Clarkson sent the photo at right, her twin daughter and son with Ms. Morgan, who is their teacher. Says Clarkson, "We are longtime West Seattlers, but new to Gatewood. We cannot lose this teacher!"
Another parent e-mailed more details about what will happen tomorrow, and beyond:
Gatewood is mobilizing. We need to raise $90,000 by Wednesday morning. We have about 10% thus far. Disbelievingly, our beloved teachers have each committed $500.
The parents of Gatewood and their children are planning to hold the biggest bake sale imaginable tomorrow starting at 10 a.m. at California and Myrtle and going on throughout the day.
We ask for any community support from everyone. Even if not a monetary donation, we appreciate moral support, too. The families and teachers could sure use it right now.
A donation account was set up late today at Chase Bank; you can donate at Chase and tell them it's for "Friends of Gatewood." Parents say online fundraising is not an option because they have to have the cash in hand by Wednesday morning, and online donations wouldn't be disbursable that way.
They are hoping at least to get a time extension, and say that the district's executive director of schools in this area, Israel Vela, indicated support for that in phone calls today to parents who had left him messages about this.
Meanwhile, the district responded to a followup question we had sent yesterday. At the ribbon-cutting for Fairmount Park on September 2nd, the day before the new school year began, it was announced they anticipated opening with 380 students. The current enrollment cited by the district is just below that. So why is an adjustment being made just now? District spokesperson Lesley Rogers replied with this backstory:
In August we decided to fund an additional teacher (the student projection [for Fairmount Park] went from 290 to 329, or 39 additional students). This was part of an overall district assessment that resulted in 26 schools having adds or pulls, with a net 2.0 addition. We also added in 2 schools based on high urgency (Arbor Heights and Alki Elementary).
We decided to wait to address FTE [full-time-student equivalent] adjustments due to the traditional student movement, wait list, data cleanup, and no-shows that happens in the first 2-3 weeks of school. The student enrollment reached 368 at 9/22 (Fairmount Park).
The other component was the budget situation. Our mitigation fund was depleted after the last 2 adds. We decided to wait to find out what schools have significantly lost student enrollment, as Gatewood, to transfer FTEs.
Overall, we are waiting for the official 10/1 counts that will be reported on 10/12 to recommend more staffing adjustments. At the same time we are using the current student count to identify the hot spots adjustments and deploy/execute earlier.
We'll continue to follow up.

Election 2014: Gatewood forum Sunday on I-591, I-594
September 26, 2014 at 6:01 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle politics | 2 CommentsWith ballots going out in mid-October, the "November 4″ election is closer than it seems. Just announced by Rev. Erik Kindem from Peace Lutheran Church in Gatewood, a forum this Sunday on two of the statewide initiatives you'll be voting on:
Peace Lutheran Church is hosting a forum on two firearms-related initiatives that will be on the ballot in November: I-594 (text here) and I-591 (text here).
. I-594 would expand current criminal background-check requirements to include all gun sales and transfers in Washington State with specific exceptions.
. I-591 would limit the circumstances in which firearms can be confiscated and would limit the ability of government agencies to require background checks.
Stacy Anderson from FAN (Faith Action Network) will be leading the forum, which will begin at 12 noon. Peace Lutheran is located at the corner of SW Thistle and 39th Avenue SW in West Seattle. Members of the public are invited to attend.
Followup: What happened when the Gatewood Elementary Class of '56 reconnected
September 6, 2014 at 3:30 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | Comments OffBack in April, we shared the announcement of a reunion for the Gatewood Elementary School Class of 1956. Now, the followup – Carol Stoner shares the photo above and this report on how it went!
We finally managed to locate more than 70 of the original list of 90. Most of us had not seen the school since the remodel in 1991, and we spent much of the tour reconciling our memories with the new reality.
The Class of 1956 attended Gatewood before the 'gator was its mascot, when wooden desks with iron grillwork legs were bolted to the floor, and empty inkwells clanged if you flicked them during study time. Cloakrooms in the back were filled with wet coats, dripping boots, and lunchboxes with baloney sandwiches on white bread. No actual library; books were shelved in Mr. Acedo's sixth-grade classroom, and choosing 35 books for your class was brief, stressful, and done very quietly during his class if you were book monitor that month. And, even in 1956, the wooden stairs leading up into the school had deep indentations, hollow treads, where former students, perhaps parents and grandparents, had trudged in previous decades.
On August 22nd, twenty-eight 'Woodies reunited for a tour of the remodeled school and a catchup picnic in Lincoln Park. They found the wooden steps had been replaced, but delighted in the fact that the century-old banisters had been retained. Gone also were the wooden desks and cloakrooms, giving the rooms a modern feel and more space. The class picture on the front steps and the tour itself was much like herding cats, but a good time was had by all.
The picnic following at Lincoln Park, catered by Husky's, was great fun. We heard apologies for remembered slights: "I'm sorry I pushed you off the table in Kindergarten, but I wanted to nap there" or "Sorry I teased you so much, but you were so cute when you blushed." Episodes were told about teachers who had impacted our lives for good and bad, but we heard no bad stories about missing classmates, only "Remember how fast he ran?" or "She was so funny! Do you remember when she…?" We also told stories on ourselves, and it turns out that little candy store across the street from school must have made a fortune!
Although most of us shared the grade-school experience with one class for seven years, we split into two groups in '56, some going to Madison and some to Denny. Some classmates we hadn't seen in 58 years. Since then our classmates have built homes, airplanes, businesses, and families. They have climbed mountains, written books, worked in law enforcement, education, and health care. They have been firefighters, commercial fishermen, and researchers. They've worked with numbers, words, machinery, and people. It was a joy to reconnect with old friends, to remember cloakrooms, wooden desks, and inkwells, and when we were all twelve.
Gatewood is an official city landmark, by the way. P.S. Follow the link to the April announcement to see class photos from back in the day.

West Seattle Crime Watch followup: Gatewood burglary suspect charged
July 17, 2014 at 10:53 pm | In Crime, Gatewood, West Seattle news | 12 CommentsFollowing up on the Gatewood burglary spree first reported here Wednesday – the suspect is now charged with three counts of residential burglary. And we've learned that a warrant was already out for his arrest before police found him after the burglaries Saturday afternoon, because he'd missed a sentencing hearing a day earlier. Plus, he has an extensive record dating back more than half his life, to age 14.
The suspect is Jason Edward Wyman, who turned 33 the day before his arrest. The police report lists a Westwood address for him. He is charged with burglarizing three homes in Gatewood; in two cases, the police report says, he was interrupted by people who were home at the time and had left doors unlocked or open; in a third, he stole from a guest house. At least one victim has surveillance video showing him with items stolen from her home.
"The defendant's brazen behavior is alarming," prosecutors wrote in the charging documents, noting that while burglary is not a violent crime, entering occupied residences can quickly escalate to violence. They go on to describe him as a "flight risk" with "17 warrants since 2000, based on 15 bookings at King County Jail."
Last Friday, Wyman was supposed to appear for sentencing in a theft case dating back to last August – and failed to show up, leading to issuance of a $10,000 warrant for his arrest. His criminal history spans three states and includes at least one conviction for escape. He had struck a plea bargain in the case, which involved a day last August in which he was caught on video stealing a TV and two computers from the Renton Wal-Mart; according to court documents, and was going to be recommended for a residential DOSA sentence – that's the program involving mandatory drug treatment.
Now, if Wyman is convicted of three counts of residential burglary, he faces up to 7 years in prison. According to the King County Jail Register, his current bail is set at $50,000. We'll keep the case on our watch list.

Southwest Precinct Sgt.

If you see anything at all that might be of interest to police related to this investigation, please e-mail Sgt. Bauer at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Update: Police search in West Seattle after child reports seeing possible abduction
October 24, 2013 at 12:55 pm | In Gatewood, West Seattle news, West Seattle police | 79 Comments(SCROLL DOWN for newest information)
12:55 PM: We need to say for starters that this is ***NOT yet verified*** BUT we don't want to wait any longer before putting something out in case it is.
This is all according to scanner information. SPD has just tweeted something we will add in a moment.
Police got a call that a man was seen "duct taping" and putting a child in a pickup truck near Gatewood Elementary School. The truck was described as silver, no canopy. The man was described as wearing a black robe and blue jeans.
Every officer in the area is on the lookout, while the school is doing a head count to make sure no one was missing.
We have a crew on the way to the school to see if this has been verified. If we hear anything more about the description of the POSSIBLE truck, we will let you know.
12:58 PM UPDATE: All SPD has tweeted is "Officers investigating possible student abduction in West Seattle. Still working to confirm. More details to come."
Our crew is now in the Gatewood Elementary area, but there's no additional information available there so far.
A bit of added description information: The possible suspect is a white male, in his 30s/40s. The possible victim was described as wearing a pink top, 6 to 12 years old, long black hair.
The description being broadcast citywide says the report comes from a 6-year-old who reported seeing this happen at a "nearby house." That house is reported to be on the Frontenac side (north side) of the school. That street is currently closed off.
Police are continuing to put out information via Twitter, all details we have published already. Still no word of anyone being CONFIRMED missing.
1:17 PM: Police have reiterated via Twitter that there is no verification of anyone missing yet but say they "do not believe a child was taken from a school." Commenter Steph, who is a Gatewood parent, says she has spoken with the school office and they said ALL students there are accounted for.
1:38 PM: We're monitoring all info channels, but there is nothing new.
1:59 PM: If you saw police with a silver truck on 48th SW a short time ago – it was checked out but determined NOT to be related. Meantime, Seattle Public Schools public affairs says that while Gatewood's doors are locked as a precaution, they are not technically in lockdown or shelter-in-place status, and are still working out dismissal details, though expecting it to be at the regular time.
2:21 PM: Police are still keeping an eye out for any potential vehicles but otherwise standing down a bit. No word of an actual missing child anywhere, but nor has the sighting been explained. If anything new emerges, we'll add it here.
2:26 PM: There's been conflicting info about Gatewood's status between what parents were told and what the district told us. We just got a call from the school directly, and here's the CURRENT information: The school is not currently sheltering-in-place. Dismissal and after-school activities will be normal.
5:52 PM – A REQUEST FROM POLICE: Southwest Precinct Sgt. Joe Bauer asked us to publish this request: If your home or business is within a square mile or so of Gatewood Elementary (which fronts on both Myrtle and Frontenac just west of California) and you have a video-camera system – or happened to be rolling video in the area for any other reason – please check it, particularly for the time period between about 12:30 pm and 1 pm today. If you see anything at all that might be of interest to police related to this investigation, please e-mail him at email@example.com. (We are also mentioning this in comments and will post it separately.)
7:46 PM: SPD Blotter has just summarized what police have learned so far, but the bottom line remains: "At this point, officers have not found any evidence that a crime occurred."

There may have already been a lot of trade action, but not all the big names are off the board quite yet. Here are the top five players left in play and where they could be headed at the trade deadline.
Lightning GM Steve Yzerman made a pair of late-night trades Sunday, acquiring veteran blueliner Braydon Coburn from the Flyers for defenseman Radko Gudas, then shipping out young winger Brett Connolly to the Bruins for a pair of second-round draft picks.
The New York Rangers were by far the busiest NHL team the day before the trade deadline – and late Sunday night, they finished up by signing winger Mats Zuccarello to a four-year, $18-million contract extension.
With the Red Wings unsure of a return for key left winger Johan Franzen, GM Ken Holland traded for the experience and pedigree of veteran Erik Cole Sunday. Detroit surrendered two prospects and a draft pick in the deal, but it's a smart bet whether or not Franzen is healthy.
