Treasurer Malzahn Unretires
Originally posted at 9:49 a.m. Saturday, March 23
(Treasurer Tom) Malzahn (pictured) chose to remain, he said, out of concern that the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee would not choose an adequate replacement for him. "It's not about me. It's about the citizens of Kootenai County," said Malzahn, treasurer for 12 years. "It's the fact that the person qualified to fill the position would not be that person (selected). That's my concern." State statute requires the county commissioners appoint Malzahn's replacement, from a list of three candidates recommended by the county Republican central committee. Malzahn is convinced the central committee isn't up to the task/Alecia Warren, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Question: I trust neither the activists running the Kootenai County GOP Central Committee to provide a list of 3 qualified individuals for the position of county treasurer — nor the County Commission to choose a qualified person if one accidentally was on that list. Therefore, I tip my cap to Treasurer Tom Malzahn for serving his county one last time by delaying his retirement. Thoughts?
What did DOT Secretary, Ray LaHood do for you?
If you got a ticket for distracted driving, was inexplicably reimbursed for an airline fee or found work on a state highway recently, Ray LaHood probably had something to do with it. LaHood announced this week he will not return to serve as Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation during President Obama's second term. As LaHood sees it, "I have had a good run. I'm one of these people who believe that you should go out while they're applauding." (1)
So why should we be clapping?
Purtee Resigns For Health Reasons
There is going to be an open seat on the Coeur d'Alene School District's Board of Trustees, again. Jim Purtee, who was appointed to the Zone 1 board position in April, submitted his written resignation Wednesday to board chair Tom Hamilton, giving an effective date of Nov. 15. "I have spent the last week undergoing lengthy medical examinations in Houston, Tex., at The Houston Medical Center," Purtee wrote in the Oct. 31 letter. "The diagnoses confirm a personal and familial challenge in the coming years." Purtee stated that the unnamed health issue will preclude his school trustee duties. "It is my priority at this stage in my life to place personal health and family above all else," Purtee wrote/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
DFO: Here's the individuals who applied for the position before the county commissioners appointed Purtee: Casey Morrisroe, Duncan Koler, Luke Sommer, Christa Hazel and Wanda Quinn. (Hint: Luke Sommer is on the Reagan Republican Board of Directors, as is CSB Trustee Jim Hightower)
Question: Do you think anyone who doesn't subscribe to Hard Right political views has a chance to be appointed to the Coeur d'Alene School Board?
Purtee Resigns From School Board
School Board Trustee Jim Purtee submitted his resignation from the school board today citing a need to reduce his commitments and focus on current health issues, according to a news release circulated by Laura Rumpler for the Coeur d'Alene School District. Trustee Purtee notified Chairman Tom Hamilton that his resignation is effective Nov. 15. "I thanked Trustee Purtee for his service and want to honor his decision to step down due to health reasons," stated Chair Hamilton. "Being a school board member takes a large commitment of time and is stressful and Jim needs to dedicate his energy elsewhere. I am aware of the health issues that Trustee Purtee is facing and can say that in the same circumstance, I would make the same decision." More here.
Update: Fredrickson Quits Board
Update: Sid Fredrickson, the chair of the Coeur d'Alene school board, resigned earlier this evening during the board's annual organizational meeting. His resignation is effective immediately. Fredrickson, who has been a Coeur d'Alene trustee since 2002, is the second to leave the board in less than three months. Diane Zipperer, another long-time board member, resigned in April. The remaining members of what should be a five-member board are Tom Hamilton, Terri Seymour, Anne Seddon and Jim Purtee. Hamilton and Seymour are serving their first terms after being elected to the board in May 2011, and Purtee was appointed in April to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Edie (Brooks) McLachlan. Seddon was appointed in May to replace Zipperer. Laura Rumpler, the school district's spokeswoman, told The Press the remaining trustees elected Hamilton to serve as the board's chair, and Purtee to serve as vice-chair/Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Why do you think Sid Frederickson resigned?
Popkey: McGee's Fall Rooted In Hubris
Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill disguised any anger he may feel for his disgraced former caucus chairman, John McGee. But Wednesday's decision by the Republican majority to acknowledge McGee is accused of sexual harassment by a woman staffer reveals the sting of betrayal. Most institutions would have trotted out the "personal reasons" boilerplate, leaving Idahoans to speculate on what might have finally brought the man-who-would-be-governor down. Not the Idaho Senate under Brent Hill. Hill is both a gentleman and a gentle man. And he may simply be heartsick — the word Majority Leader Bart Davis chose to describe his own mood. But Hill made it clear he's had his fill with McGee's recklessness/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here. (AP photo: Sen. Bart Davis walks to a news conference for the announcement of the resignation of Sen. John McGee)
Question: Is John McGee's political career over?
Parting Shot — 2.22.12
Idaho State senate leadership, Chuck Winder, left, Brent Hill, center, and Bart Davis announce the resignation of Sen. John McGee during a press conference earlier today at the Idaho Statehouse in Boise, Idaho. Faced with sexual harassment allegations, Republican Sen. John McGee was given two choices: Quit or go before a state Senate ethics panel. The 38-year-old four-term lawmaker opted to resign on Wednesday, capping a political free-fall that began last year with a Father's Day drunken driving and car theft arrest.

McGee Quits Over Harassment Claims
The three remaining Senate GOP leaders — Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill, Majority Leader Bart Davis, and Assistant Majority Leader Chuck Winder — have announced to a packed press conference that Sen. John McGee (pictured) has resigned from the Senate in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment of a Senate attache. Hill said the harassment charges are being investigated by the Idaho Attorney General, and the attache, a woman who is not a minor, is on paid leave. McGee, R-Caldwell, is a fourth term state senator and also is the chairman of the Canyon County Republican Central Committee. A former aide to then-Sen. and Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, McGee, 39, is the marketing director for West Valley Medical Center in Caldwell, and is married with two young children. He was widely viewed as a rising star in the Idaho GOP before the bizarre incident last June in which he was arrested and convicted of drunken driving/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Gabrielle Giffords recites the "Pledge of Allegiance" alongside her husband Mark Kelly, right, Ron Barber, far right, and Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, left, at the start of a vigil at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz., on Sunday.

Now, Giffords has announced that she will stepped down from her elected position to concentrate on her rehabilitation. Story here. (AP Photo/The Republic, David Wallace)
Question: Did Gabrielle Giffords make the right decision?
Valley councilwoman Dempsey resigns
Spokane Valley City councilwoman Rose Dempsey announced Wednesday morning that she is resigning her seat on the council effective Friday.
Her decision comes after a contentious council meeting Tuesday night where she was in the minority opposing a proposed emergency comprehensive plan amendment to remove the City Center zone from the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan. Four new council members who all ran on a platform opposing the plan were elected to the council in November 2009.
Dempsey said she will not take her seat next Tuesday when the amendment is up for the final vote. "I won't be there when they vote that piece of crap in," she said. "They have no intention of compromising on anything. They're going to do what they're doing to do."

Ward: O'Barto Tendered His Resignation
Answering a caller's question on KBOI radio about the departure of his campaign manager, Ryan O'Barto, congressional candidate Vaughn Ward said, "The campaign manager, he was not fired, he tendered his resignation. It was very hard for me to accept his resignation. He felt it was more of a distraction on the campaign." Asked by the caller if he's blaming missteps on campaign staff, Ward said, "Anything that goes wrong on my campaign is my responsibility, just like in the Marine Corps"/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.

Thick smoke emanating from the Chennai Corporation's Perungudi garbage dumping yard had engulfed many parts of Perungudi and Thoraipakkam on Monday morning.
"It looks like Bhogi day. The Thoraipakkam – Pallavaram Radial Road was covered in smoke early in the morning and it made driving difficult for us," said V. Emil, a share autorickshaw driver.
Garbage in the yard has been burning for a couple of days now, and every time the westerly winds blow, smoke is blown towards residential areas in Thoraipakkam and Perungudi.
On Monday morning, around 25 residents of Perungudi, who live close to the dumping yard, had gathered near the gate to stage a protest against the burning. In just a few minutes, the residents felt their eyes burning and a few complained of headaches. The protest did not take place, as local police officials arrived asked the residents to meet Mayor Saidai S. Duraisamy to take action.
"The garbage here has been burning for over four months now, and flames keep rising up from the bottom. No amount of water is helping to put out the fire, as top layers become dry fast. We want water lorries to be deployed on a regular basis so that the garbage does not catch fire. There is a school right next to the dumping yard, just imagine the plight of the children," said a resident.

McCall Assistant ExaminerDarrel1 Marquette Attorney, Agent, or FirmLars0n, Taylor and Hinds ABSTRACT A joint for joining two sheets of fabric incorporates a stiff rib formed with two parallel passageways and a slot providing lateral access to each passageway. Each sheet of fabric has one boundary edge enlarged in the form of a bead integral with the sheet. Each sheet is attached to the rib by engagement of the bead on the edge of the respective passageway. the sheet extending into the rib through the respective slot.
1 Claim, 4 Drawing Figures FABRIC JOINTS This invention relates to a fabric joint.
It is frequently desirable to be able to join sheets of fabric to one another by a connection which is easy to engage, has high strength and is substantially weatherproof. Examples of applications of the joint are the joining of covers of all kinds and the joining of sections of an airhouse i.e., a structure made to sheets of fabric and kept erected by air under slight pressure. At present the method of joining the fabric sections making such a house is by sliding clasp fastener or by some form of lacing such as Dutch lacing or by use of eyelets connected to one another in various fashions. All these methods suffer from their own disadvantages. Lacing and eyelets require a certain degree of skill to manufacture and are time-consuming besides being difficult to manipulate under adverse weather conditions in the open while sliding clasp fasteners are liable to damage. It requires only damage to one of the elements ofa sliding clasp fastener to render the entire fastener useless.
Fabric joints are known in which the edge portions of sheets of fabrics are jammed in slots in connecting elements by suitably shaped jamming members.
Such joints are troublesome to assemble because they require the simultaneous filament of the sheet and the jamming member in the slot, they cannot be used for joining vaulted sheets because of the necessary rigidity of the jammed member, and they are comparatively easily pulled apart because their grip depends only on friction.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a joint which has great strength, is cheap, is easy to fit together by unskilled labour, is weatherproof, and is usable to join vaulted sheets such as those which form the roof panels of an air house.
A fabric joint according to the invention incorporates a rib of non-resilient material formed with two parallel passageways and two continuous lateral slots each providing lateral access to a respective passageway and two sheets of fabric each having one boundary edge enlarged by formation of an integral bead thereon, the beads on each sheet being located within a respective passageway and the portion of the sheet extending back from the bead passing through the slot.
For joining sheets in the one plane the slots face away from one another in opposite directions. For forming a corner joint the slots may face in directions at an acute angle to one another.
Each rib may be cut away to present at each end a cut-away portion having a cut face parallel with the plane containing the axes of the passageways.
The rib may be formed ofa metal such as aluminium or may be formed of a non-metal such as nylon.
The rib may have a figure of eight cross section, the passageways being located in the two loops of the eight. In this construction forjoining sheets in the same plane the portions of the loops at the top and bottom of the eight are formed with the slots.
Practical embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which FIG. I illustrates in cross section a joint of two sheets in one plane,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the joint showing the meeting point of two adjacent short ribs forming sections of a longer rib,
FIG. 3 is a side view of two adjacent rib sections showing how the ends may be cut away and engage one another and FIG. 4 is a cross section of a joint at a corner.
In the drawings and referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 denotes a rib of figure eight cross section formed with two parallel passageways 2 located in the loops of the eight, and two lateral continuous slots facing away from one another. Two sheets of fabric 4 are formed along edge portions to be joined with integral enlarged beads 5. The bead 5 of each sheet is located within the respective passageway 2 and the portion of the sheet extending back from the bead passes through the respective slot 3.
Each rib l is cut away at each end to present a cut away portion 6 having a cut face 7 parallel with the plane containing the axes of the passageways 2, the cut faces 7 facing in opposite directions with respect to the plane containing the axes of the passageways 2.
In the construction of FIG. 4 the lateral slots 3 face in directions at right angles to one another. Otherwise the construction of the joint is similar to that illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the same reference numerals denote the same parts.
In practice, ajoint is made by sliding each sheet 4 on to the rib 1 so that the bead 5 enters an associated passageway 2 while the portion of the sheet 4 extending back from the bead 5 passes through the lateral slot 3. At the junction of two short ribs forming sections of a longer rib the cut away end 6 of one rib section I overlaps the adjacent rib section 1 whereby to enhance the waterproof properties of the joint.
The joint is easy to assemble or dismantle, it is cheap, has a strength equal to the strength of the fabric sheets being joined and because of the tortuous nature of the passage from one side of each sheet to the other is virtually weatherproof. Where the rib is made of metal it has the additional advantage of serving as a lightning conductor where the joint is used to join the fabric sections of an airhouse. The ribs may be curved to the contour of a vaulted roof without causing any difficulty in assembly.
What is claimed is:
1. In a fabric joint incorporating adjoining aligned ribs of non-resilient material each formed with two parallel aligned passageways and two lateral continuous slots each providing lateral access to a respective passageway and two sheets of fabric each having one boundary edge enlarged by formation of an integral bead thereon, the beads on each sheet being located within a respective passageway and the portion of the sheet extending back from the bead passing through the slot, said adjoining ribs being cut-away at adjacent ends so that each rib presents a cut-away portion having a cut face parallel with the plane containing the axes of passageways, the cut faces facing in opposite directions with respect to the plane containing the axes of the passageways.

This is such a simple, powerful practice that opens pools of energy located just under the surface of the skin, inviting a more elegant flow of Qi (energy) through the channels of our body.
Here is a point that can bring balance to the Spleen: SP 4 "Grandparent/Grandchild"
Located on the arch of the foot in the dip below the first metatarsal bone, about one thumb's width from the ball of the foot.
This is a key point in alleviating worry as well as indigestion (another 'symptom' of worry) and foot cramps. Using the acronym "BPI" (breath, pressure, intention) press gently and then with increasing pressure as you breathe deeply with full awareness on the point. Hold for between 1 and 3 minutes. (This point can also be accessed by rubbing the ball of the opposite foot or your heel on the area - massaging back and forth. Nice to know if you wake up in the night in a state of worry.)
We are vibratory Beings. The healing capabilities of sound are simple, non-invasive and powerful. As Jonathon Goldman, wonderful author, musician and sound healer states, "Frequency plus Intention equals Healing".
The sound of 'HU' (sounds like 'who') is the Taoist Healing Sound for the Spleen. To practice this I suggest holding the hands gently under the ribs on the left side of the body (where the spleen is housed), breathing in and exhaling to the sound of 'HU' several times. Your intention can be around balance and the knowledge that we find our true feelings of fulfillment and peace of mind inside ourselves. Perhaps affirm, "Everything I need comes from within. I am safe."
I cannot emphasize enough the benefits of slowing down and taking the time to go within. I believe many people who would LIKE to meditate don't because they think they need to spend at least 30 minutes or more a day in lotus position, eyes closed and quarantined from the outside world.
While I do agree that being alone in a quiet place and having the ability to close your eyes is highly recommended, even a five minute 'retreat' to this inner world can do wonders for us, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
The other 'excuse' I hear most often, is "I don't know how to meditate" OR "I can't turn off my mind." Well, the National Science Foundation reports that our brains produce up to 50,000 thoughts a day or more (the majority of these thoughts being the SAME ONES), so naturally it is a learned process to still the mind. Stilling the mind, however, doesn't mean there will not be thoughts. It's what we do with them. When a stray idea enters the realm of your meditation, rather than become frustrated, acknowledge it and come back to center.
One of the easiest meditations I have found is HAMSA (Sanskrit mantra that relates to the sound of the breath: 'Ham" on the inhale - sounds like 'hum' - and "Sa" on the exhale.) Allowing your belly to expand on the in breath to the sound of Ham… and contract on the out breath to the sound of Sa… feel the flow of the breath entering and leaving your body, smooth, deep and complete. Even just a couple of minutes of this can tell your adrenals that 'all is well' and make your spleen happy, too. (And by the way, leave your phone in the off position - at least for this short duration. It gets easier.)
So next time you are feeling 'emotional hunger pangs' whether for actual food or some other type of gratification, bring awareness to the amazing organ of the Spleen that works tirelessly to instill balance and nurturing in our lives. You are worth the effort.
Wishing you health, contentment and an overall sense of Well-Being.
- Maureen

'M.S.K Prasad made it to the Indian team with his grit and dedication'
Former India International and Padmashri V.V.S. Laxman on Tuesday asked young cricketers of the Central Zone academy to emulate former India stumper and Andhra Cricket Association director M.S.K. Prasad, who, with his hard work made it to the Team India as wicket-keeper.
Speaking at the inaugural function of the academy at ACA stadium at Mangalagiri, he said MSK toiled hard at Hyderabad to get quality training. "He used to walk three to four kilometres with his kit bag on his shoulders. He came to Hyderabad as there were no proper facilities at his home town those days. He made it to the Indian team with his grit and dedication. Now as an administrator, he has brought the entire facilities under at one place to help train you better," Mr. Laxman added.
Mr. Laxman appreciated the efforts of ACA in sprucing up three academies in three zones and exhorted the players to make use of facilities.

What We Know About Pope Benedict's Resignation
In stunning news, Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday morning from the Vatican that he will resign his position as head of the Catholic Church, effective on February 28. This has already set off a flurry of speculation, largely because no pope has voluntarily done so since the year 1415.
The news is still coming in, but here's what we know so far:

The Labor Department announced that the U.S. economy added 157,000 jobs in January. The unemployment rate inched upward by a tenth of a point, to 7.9 percent.

HRDAG Retreat 2015
I look at the beach and then at the table surrounded by nerds, deep in thought and conversation about Dirichlet priors, matching algorithms, and armed conflicts. This peculiar (in the best way) environment catalyzes a moment of reflection: how did I get here?
Four years ago, as a second-year statistics PhD student, I watched "Guatemala: The Secret Files" on PBS Frontline World. I listened to stories of family members (more…)
BJS Report on Arrest-Related Deaths: True Number Likely Much Greater
(This post is co-authored by Patrick Ball and Kristian Lum.)
Today the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released a report on their effort to document "all deaths that occur during the process of arrest in the United States." The analysis estimates that the Arrest-Related Deaths (ARD) program covers only 34-49% of these deaths. A parallel program by the FBI (the Supplementary Homicide Reports, SHR) is estimated to cover approximately the same proportion of deaths. Even taking into consideration both programs, 28% of all police homicides remain unreported.
In order to estimate the total number of homicides that appear on neither the ARD or SHR databases, the report relies upon a statistical technique that we at HRDAG regularly employ to estimate the number of undocumented conflict-related deaths: multiple systems estimation. The BJS analysts had only two databases available to them (the ARD and the SHR); HRDAG generally uses three or more databases. (more…)
The Great Lessons in Research at the Archive
Doing an investigation on the contents of the Archive brought with it three major lessons. The first big lesson was the constant movement (nothing was static), The second great lesson was that everything evolved (the changes were a constant). The third major lesson was to discover how two institutions can work together while geographically far apart.
The constant movement
As there were other processes being carried out at the Archive, everything was in constant movement. In other words, one day the documents were in X location and tomorrow they may be in location Y or dispersed in multiple locations. This made it impossible to know with certainty the time it would take to extract a representative sample for the quantitative analysis. Ultimately, 11 different samples were designed, which made it possible to interrupt or suspend the process at any time without altering the analysis process. (more…)
Evaluation of the Kosovo Memory Book
At the end of 2014 we completed the evaluation of the Kosovo Memory Book database and are pleased to conclude that the database has succeeded in documenting all or nearly all the human losses during conflicts in Kosovo during the period from 1998 to 2000.
With a motto of "Let people remember people," the goal of the Kosovo Memory Book (KMB) is to document all people who were killed or disappeared in connection with the war in Kosovo. The project aimed to document (more…)

OMG, It's UBER for Kids! – Introducing SHUDDLE – And the First 100 Drivers are 100% Women?Monday, October 27th, 2014
Well this SHUDDLE operation is news to me.
Artist's conception of a young Joe Montana as Shuddle user off to his art class or whatever:
(And I'll bet she doesn't have a hammer hidden under the front seat. I'm thinking in a fight over a disputed routing choice, he'd have the muscle mass but she'd have the reach – that'd be a toss-up, I'd give even odds. But what are the chances of something like that happening in the first place? The screening process at Shuddle would appear to be more stringent than Uber, by about one or two orders of magnitude.)
We'll see how this one goes – it might sound like a dream come true to a lot of parents in town..

A Case Study of SFMTA's Controversial "MUNI-COMMUTER" Shuttle Program: The New Stops at Hayes and ClaytonMonday, August 4th, 2014
Here's what things looked like on August 1, 2014 at a MUNI bus stop that just debuted as a new "commuter shuttle" stop:
I think MUNI meant to say MUNI/COMMUTER SHUTTLES instead of MUNI-COMMUTER SHUTTLES, but who knows.
Note that the small print advises those with Concerns or Complaints to
go to Hell call 311.
Here's the place, on Hayes at Clayton:
Things were pretty sedate around here before the shuttle program began. (Yes, Hayes is a thoroughfare, as it has the 21 Hayes bus line but that bus doesn't run as much as the nearby #5 Fulton just to the north or the lines on Haight just to the south.)
Anyway, some of the area NIMBYs are upset, so they started a direct mail campaign and they posted fliers about.
Like here on this rather dirty building, which lost some paint when the fliers came down cause the tape they used was extra strong oh well:
So that's it – life here is pretty much the same as far as I can tell. I've jogged past these two stops, the inbound and the outbound right across the street from each other, four times now, during times when I know that there are hundreds of people milling about the 415 / 628 waiting for dozens of shuttles, and I haven't seen nothing.
Perhaps the NIMBYs were wrong? Perhaps all good and bad points about life in the 94117 will remain unaffected?
We'll see.

A Plea from "NoPa Neighbors" to "Protect" a Solitary 21 Hayes Bus Stop from Being Used by Too Many PeopleThursday, July 10th, 2014
[UPDATE: Oh, here you go, NIMBYs:
"Carli Paine, an SFMTA transportation manager, said about 80 percent of shuttles using Muni stops take passengers to destinations within San Francisco, while the other 20 percent take passengers to destinations outside the city."
So I don't know what that means for this particular stop – it could be that only one entity wants to use it. So it could be 100% intra-city, who knows. Oh, what's that, NIMBY. You're still upset? You're all offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline? OK fine. Have it your way. But keep in mind that most of your "neighbors" aren't up in arms over this issue, most of your "neighbors" disagree with you. And in any event, August 1st, 2014 will not be the End Of The World As We Know It. You'll feel fine.]
Here's a direct mail campaign to "save" the SFMTA MUNI DPT bus stop at Hayes and Clayton.
It comes from somebody who has a lot of energy to post and mail flyers, but this effort is coming waaaaay too late in the process.
Now I'm probably a little too close to this issue myself, but I'll point out that UCSF employees could be the biggest beneficiaries of having the corner of Hayes and Clayton included as inbound and outbound stops during the trial. And I'll note that UCSF simply gives money to the SFMTA by, among other things, using the bus stops of the 21 Hayes for public relations advertising. And actually, there are so many UCSF shuttles on Fell and Oak that the unneighborly "neighbors" of NoPA probably don't even notice them any more.
In any event, it's a free country so you're free to mail anybody anything.
And I'll say that it would be nice if our slow and expensive MUNI system would itself use these bus stops more often. (And the 21 Hayes, in particular, still has too many stops.)
Reader Note: If you can't read the above, I took another shot and posted it below. One photo used a smaller lens and the other one, well, it has focus issues owing to the bent paper, oh well. And I amazed by how different the yellow-y colors look using auto white balance from two different cams, oh well.
