The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 430–790 THz. A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at around 555 nm (540 THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum (see: luminosity function). The spectrum does not, however, contain all the colors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish. Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations such as magenta, are absent, for example, because they can be made only by a mix of multiple wavelengths. Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors.
Visible wavelengths pass through the "optical window", the region of the electromagnetic spectrum which allows wavelengths to pass largely unattenuated through the Earth's atmosphere. An example of this phenomenon is that clean air scatters blue light more than red wavelengths, and so the midday sky appears blue.

Cleveland Clinic, legendary for contributions to medical science, innovative therapeutics and medical education, offers an exciting work environment for Respiratory Therapists. Cleveland Clinic's Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapists are team oriented with a practice model that embodies boundaryless collaboration between services. In the Heart Center, Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapists partner with the Anesthesia Institute's critical care physicians, anesthesiologists, surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other service providers to deliver world-class care and service in The Heart and Vascular Institute.
Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapists are given a unique opportunity to work in exclusive world-renowned critical care and step-down settings. Our six Cardiovascular Intensive Care Units comprise a total of 76 beds. Our CVICU area is one of the largest of its kind in the country. The Respiratory Therapists in Cleveland Clinic's Heart Center also serve a 24-bed Coronary Intensive Care Unit, a 10-bed Heart Failure Intensive Care Unit, a 13-bed CARU, and a 15-bed Short Stay Unit. Respiratory Care is also provided in The Heart Center's 12 Step-Down areas which total 288 beds. The CVICU supports more than 20,000 patient-days per year. Additionally, Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapists care for well over 100 lung transplant recipients every year. Our intensivist staff are board-certified Critical Care Physicians and Anesthesiologists. They provide daily clinical management in the CVICUs for patients requiring ventilatory support, cardiopulmonary therapeutics and advanced monitoring.
Cleveland Clinic's Heart Center has been ranked #1 in the United States by U.S. News & World Report since 1995. Our Heart & Vascular Institute is recognized as the world leader in cardiovascular care.
The Department of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia is committed to recognition of its high performers and there is no greater compliment than to be recognized by your peers. The Phil Hanna Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapy Excellence Award was established in 2004 to recognize CTA Respiratory Therapists who distinguish themselves through exceptional professionalism and service.
Therapists submit nominations based upon specific criteria. A committee reviews the nominees and selects the recipient based upon each nominees individual merits. Each recipient honored will have exceeded the department's basic expectations, promoted professionalism in respiratory therapy and enhanced the quality of patient care at Cleveland Clinic. One therapist is recognized quarterly and is awarded a monetary award.
Since 2008, when the Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute opened, the Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapy Department has been involved in several exciting and engaging career opportunities for motivated professionally minded individuals. Moving forward our Respiratory Therapist will participate in innovative therapies and integral policy and procedure updates such as:
CTA Respiratory Therapists work with state-of-the-art equipment, use advanced clinical techniques, participate in research and help develop and utilize patient-driven protocols.
Respiratory therapists in the Department of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia pride themselves on teamwork. They work closely with the nurses and physicians to function as a critical care team and provide the best care for their patients. In this constructive work environment, respiratory therapists collaborate with the cardiovascular intensive care unit anesthesiologists on the plan of care for each patient. The therapists function independently, using patient-driven, evidence-based protocols and care plans in the treatment of these critical patients.
The Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapy Team has established committees to discuss issues that are important within the department. Everyone has a voice and can be actively engaged in decisions that are made within the department. Some committees include:
Technology in respiratory care is continuously changing. The purpose and goal of this committee is to evaluate the technology and equipment which will best suit the patient population and the department. The members of this committee strive to meet Cleveland Clinic's mission of putting "patients first" by trialing new and innovative therapies in respiratory care.
The engagement and recognition committees provide a great base for our teamwork in the department. They organize social events as well as quarterly meals within the group. They encourage and stimulate cohesiveness between therapists. This teamwork and relationship building carries through onto our patient care areas where our therapists help each other and work toward the common goal of world class care.
The career development and educational committees are responsible for seeking out and providing opportunities for education and professional development, both inside and outside the hospital setting. These committees help facilitate talks given by our own respiratory therapists as well as physicians and other support staff. These talks keep the department up to date with current and advanced concepts in the field of respiratory care. It is their mission to bring and keep all of our therapists on the same education and skill level.
The vision of the Lung Transplant Respiratory Therapy Team is to provide current best practice models and individualized evidence-based therapeutic options to the lung transplant recipient. The Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Respiratory Therapy Lung Transplant Team maintains compliance with existing patient care protocols. The Team continually coordinates evolving evidence supported care to the lung transplant recipient in a patient-centric, context driven fashion. This team continuously refines and develops new protocols to enhance both patient care and the patient experience. Our Lung Team is committed to the prevention of all forms of Ventilator Associated Lung Injury, the enhancement and protection of graft function as well as the restoration of optimal lung function for our patients.
The research committee participates in studies within the department as well as collaborates with physicians and other departments to produce quality studies to further the advancements in respiratory care. Our department strives to be the leader in evidenced based practice.
Respiratory therapists in the Cleveland Clinic Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Department are encouraged to be active members in their professional organization. Department benefits include up to two paid meeting days per year plus a meeting allowance. American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) memberships are reimbursed for all full-time and regular part-time employees.

Learning Commons
What We Do
Successful Students Collaborate
The Learning Commons is dedicated to the mission of students helping students to raise academic achievement. Students who study in pairs or small groups tend to learn more and perform better than students who study in isolation. The Learning Commons capitalizes on the strength of peer collaboration by hiring students who have distinguished themselves in math, writing, science or library research to work with other students in these areas. Experienced students are an excellent resource. They remember what it was like to learn the material and they are adept at perceiving points of confusion and explaining difficult concepts. In addition, students who seek help from their peers tend to feel less intimidated about asking questions because of the inherent equality in peer relationships.
The Learning Commons offers peer assistance in math, physics, writing, science, and library research. Centers provide a quiet place to study as well as find help. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly These peer assistance services are available to all students at no cost.
Come Prepared
Whether you're seeking help in writing, math, biology, chemistry or library research, your active participation is critical to the success of the session. Always spend time wrestling with the material on your own before seeking help. Be prepared to explain where specifically you're having trouble, and bring the assignment when appropriate. The peer consultants will not do the work for you; rather, they will guide you through the process of finding your own solutions.

If he's purposely physically hurting you other son then he may need to see someone mama, before it gets worse. Fighting is normal to an extent, but it sounds like this goes beyond that.

Yes please take the little one to see a therapist ASAP. I feel bad if you leave the other child alone what more he is capable of doing to the little one. I'm assuming everytime he's around his little brother must be terrified.Try to take pro caution about leaving your little son alone with him. Escpecially now that there another family member on the way try to get him the help that he needs..

School employees received another win in the ongoing legal battle over SB 1040. Yesterday, the Michigan Court of Appeals denied the state's Motion for Stay of the Temporary Restraining Orders (TRO) in the cases brought by MEA and AFT-Michigan. As part of its decision, the Court agreed to hear the appeals and established an expedited briefing schedule for the case.
The Protect Our Jobs campaign has released another ad today. "Rescue" is a 30-second spot featuring an auto worker discussing how collective bargaining saved the auto industry.
Supporters of the collective bargaining ballot proposal fired back today against Attorney General Bill Schuette's attempt to deny voters the chance to decide the issue in November.
In a news release, legal expert Andrew Nickelhoff said, "The Attorney General's opinion, which is not binding, is a political document on behalf of opponents of working families. This is not a substantive legal argument."
Michigan finally received a waiver from No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandates. In the latest round of announcements, Michigan joins Mississippi, South Carolina and the District of Columbia. So far, 32 states have received waivers with eight states being conditionally approved.
The new Muskegon Heights Public School Academy will be run by Mosaica Education, Inc., a charter school management company established in 1987 and based in New York.

Talk of education reform in Michigan eventually turns to per pupil funding and the salaries and benefits of school employees. Budget talks this year showed legislators intent on reforming how the state funds its schools and how it pays its teacher. But the data shows that Michigan isn't leading the pack when it comes to the funding of schools and pensions or teacher salaries.
Five more states are getting waivers to No Child Left Behind's mandate--Michigan isn't one of them. Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Virginia and Utah join 19 other states that won't have to meet the law's requirement that all students are proficient in math and reading by 2014.

Many Russians who survived World War II, Nazi concentration camps, forced labor and postwar persecution depend on aid from foreign NGOs. Vladimir Putin's new law labelling such groups as "foreign agents" could strip them of needed help.
The light shines through the window of a small office in downtown Volgograd and onto the forearm of Galina Sashina. There, tattooed in blue ink, is the number 62084. "The Germans put it there when I was deported to Auschwitz in September 1943," she says. At the time, she was eight. Now 77, Sashina is head of an association of survivors of German concentration camps in Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad.
Sashina still cannot forget one night in the concentration camp. She lived in a barrack with her grandmother. Galina slept in the top of the bunk bed, her grandmother in the bottom. "Your grandma is already dead," whispered someone sleeping nearby. "Just touch her." Galina nudged her grandmother's leg and was startled when she felt how cold it was. "Grandma, are you still alive," she whispered. "Yes," the old woman quietly replied. But it wasn't long before Galina's grandma really was dead. And with her vanished all hope and support.
Nevertheless, Sashina survived. From her years in captivity, she can still remember a few scraps of German. "Eyes right and march!" the camp thugs would bellow.
Expansion of 'Foreign Agents' Law
Today, Sashina's interactions with Germans are much more positive. Some 700 Volgograd residents who either survived concentration camps or were shipped to Germany during the war to serve as forced laborers, continue to benefit from an aid program set up as part of Volgograd's partnership with the German city of Cologne.
The project aims to foster reconciliation between Russians and Germans, who fought against each other in two world wars. It pays for six social workers, a consulting physician and a full-time assistant. "Suddenly we're all supposedly foreign agents," says Irina, one of the social workers. "And that's just because the Germans donate money for us."
Last summer, the State Duma, the lower house of Russian parliament, passed a law forcing nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that are politically active and receive funding from abroad to register themselves as "foreign agents." The term "agent" was consciously chosen for the way it can mean not only authorized proxy, but also spy. Russian President Vladimir Putin has used the law to criminalize opposition elements outside of parliament and to depict America and the West as enemies of Russia.
Putin and his political apparatus originally pushed through the NGO law to undermine those of his government's opponents who received funding from abroad. But now, the law is seeing extensive use even against non-political organizations, such as against the "Angler and Hunter Club" in Yaroslavl, a major city some 250 kilometers (160 miles) northeast of Moscow. This expansion has also come to threaten the broad network of German-Russian partnerships that have sprung up since the end of the Cold War, such as the Cologne-Volgograd project.
Dependent on German Help
Few in Volgograd are as dependent on this assistance as 87-year-old Alexandra Kainova. During the war, she was deported from Stalingrad to a forced labor camp in Töchin, 40 kilometers south of Berlin. In the evenings, while her crew returned back to the camp from the munitions and textile factories they worked in, she and her best friend, Tonia, would often sneak away in search of food. "The guards had pistols," she says. "But hunger was stronger than fear." They would beg farmers for potatoes. And then they would sneak back into the camp though a hole they had dug under the barbed-wire fence.
But one day, the guards caught Tonia, and Kainova's friend was forced into a detention cell. "It was cold there and full of water. She died a miserable death," Kainova says. "I don't understand how the Germans could be so cruel."
Today, Kainova lives in a small apartment in Volgograd. Her living room holds a dresser with plastic flowers, a cabinet, a bed, a refrigerator dating back to the 1970s and a TV, which she bought with the modest compensation she received from the German government in the 1990s.
Irina, the social worker, brings by some medications for Kainova. Some are for Kainova's eyes, because she is almost blind in one eye. Others are to combat calcification of her arteries, her constant joint pains and to help her weak heart. Part of the money for the medication comes from Germany. Her pension, the equivalent of 300 ($400) a month, isn't enough to pay for the expensive pills. German donations have also paid for her support stockings and an orthopedic mattress.
Kainova quotes a poem by Erich Weinert, a German Communist writer: "365 mornings, the same worries; 365 days, the same troubles; 365 nights from which one doesn't want to awake." Kainova learned the poem during her German class in grade school. "Troubles and worries," she says. "That's pretty much what my entire life has looked like."
Shadows of Suspicion
In May 1945, the Red Army liberated Kainova from her labor camp. But her suffering didn't end once she returned home. Stalin treated forced laborers who had helped the Germans as collaborators. As a result, Kainova was forced to work felling trees in a village outside Stalingrad for the first years after the war. Kainova has never told even her neighbors about her years in Germany. She has heard of cases in which parents have rejected children who had been forced laborers and one where a man quit talking to his wife after she told him about her years in Germany.
At the end of our conversation, Kainova has one request. "Write that Putin should repeal this law," she says, because it once again casts suspicion on her as a traitor to her homeland. She knows the feeling from the Stalin era.

With the (not soon enough for my taste) departure of Piers Morgan, CNN is gonna need to fill that slot. Larry King says he's willing to come back but seriously, zzzzz. The slightly younger Jay Leno's available, but how about going with someone who has Gen X, Y, Z and Baby Boomer recognition? Someone who knows how to interview, who has the name and connections to draw viewers? Someone who co-starred in one of 2013′s most talked about films?

Sharknado, the ultimate shark-meets-Los-Angeles-meets-the-elements movie tore through the competition and social media last Thursday night on the SyFy Channel, delivering meaty ratings and a bloody good time. And tonight we have writer Thunder Levin, director Anthony C. Ferrante, and doesn't-get-eaten-by-a-shark actor Robbie Rist, whose turn as the tormented school bus driver says so much about the state of public education in America today.

Darn Tough is the best sock out there.
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
My husband won't wear anything else.
Ted F
wear 'em year round
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
these are super comfy and wow are they durable! Fit is true - Xl fits my size 13 foot just fine) and I wear them year round. Nothing breathes like wool and even in the summer i am comfy. Awesome wool socks
WAPF family
Nice to let my feet breathe again!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I'm a truck driver who has switched from Under Armour synthetics to wool. Synthetics have been unbelievably durable, but stink after only a few hours. Switch to wool socks and underwear seems to be keeping me odor free at the three- to four-day mark. Long term durability yet to be seen, but otherwise a great product. They seem a bit tight, but this was the biggest size I could get (I'm a 13 1/2 shoe) and they are acceptable.

Latest update: September 29th, 2012
Satellite communications, the Internet, even cheap air travel have brought our society face to face with the Muslim world in a way that we couldn't have imagined as recently as 1960. The issue of how we, Westerners, Christians, Jews, ought to deal with our meeting with this almost wholly foreign portion of humanity literally exploded into our consciousness in September 2001. Today, with the worldwide Muslim fury associated with (or taking as a pretext) the Innocence of Muslims video, we see that nothing has been settled.
Attitudes in the U.S. are all over the map, from those who think that the problem is that our right of freedom of expression makes it possible for 'intolerant' people like Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to provoke violence, to those who think that it is the Muslim propensity for violence when insulted (and it's so easy to insult them) that is important.
The official response from our government has of course been to condemn violence. This is usually joined with a statement that while we find 'denigration of any religion' distasteful or worse, we can't interfere with it (although we should note that Nakoula has been jailed for violating a — ridiculous — condition of parole forbidding him from using the Internet).
By a fortuitous combination of circumstances, the video controversy was quickly followed by yet another. In response to anti-Israel transit ads like this one –
– which, by the way, is much more professional and effective than anything our side does, managing to project an image of love and friendship while opposing Israel's self-defense — blogger Pamela Geller managed to purchase space and install images like this one, below (it required a court order to persuade New York's MTA to allow them):
These ads immediately provoked (are you surprised?) Muslim and 'progressive' outrage, and were immediately defaced. After all,vandalism (and assault) are considered by this crowd to be legitimate responses to expressions of 'racism', by which they seem to mean anything that offends Muslims.
The use of the word 'savage' (it's a quotation from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged) seems to be the focus of those who object to the ad, who say that it claims that all Muslims are savages. Geller defended herself:
[The word 'savage'] is entirely apt. They claim that the ad refers to all Muslims, or all opponents of Israel. It doesn't. It refers to those who rejoice in the murders of innocent civilians. The war on Israel is a war on innocent civilians. The targeting of civilians is savage. The murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens was savage. The relentless 60-year campaign of terror against the Jewish people is savage. The torture of hostage Gilad Shalit was savage. The bloody hacking to death of the Fogel family was savage. The Munich Olympic massacre was savage. The unspeakable torture of Ehud Goldwasser was savage. The tens of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel (into schools, homes, etc.) are savage. The vicious Jew-hatred behind this genocide is savage. The endless demonization of the Jewish people in the Palestinian and Arab media is savage. The refusal to recognize the state of Israel as a Jewish state is savage. The list is endless.
Unfortunately, 'respectable' voices in our society, even — especially — among Jews, are unable to understand what the deliberately outrageous, over-the-top Geller sees clearly. For example, here is what the head of the Union for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Richard 'Rick' Jacobs wrote in a recent NY Times op-ed:
By using the term "jihad" in the context of a war against savages, the ad paints Islam as inherently violent, evil and bent on overthrowing the Western democracies and their key ally in the Middle East, Israel — even though, for the vast majority of Muslims, "jihad" refers to a spiritual quest, not the more politicized idea of holy war.
Yes, these ads are lawful. But they are wrong and repugnant.
What other purpose can they have but to incite hatred against Muslims?
Jacobs is wrong about 'jihad.' Daniel Pipes, unlike Jacobs, is a bona fide expert on Islam, explains that the primary meaning of the word is, as a matter of fact,
the legal, compulsory, communal effort to expand the territories ruled by Muslims at the expense of territories ruled by non-Muslims.
Pipes does recognize variant, more benign meanings. But to say that the "vast majority" of Muslims perceive it as a spiritual quest is silly. Even if the vast majority does not participate in violent jihad, hundreds of millions support it and all understand it.
The Obama administration removed the word 'jihad' and others relating to Islam from the National Security Strategy document in 2010 for the same reason that Jacobs wants these ads gone: Muslims don't like it when it is suggested that more and more Muslims today are becoming radicalized, supporting the attempt to expand the territory under Shari'a.
There is a debate over whether violent radicalism is inherent in Islam. This is stupid: Islam doesn't have to be anything other than what Muslims think it is, and the fact is — as should be evident from the daily news broadcasts — that more and more Muslims think it should be radical and violent, and that radical Islamist regimes are replacing conservative ones all over the globe.
Calling attention to this isn't inciting hate against Muslims — it is asking for us to realize that there is an enemy of what we call Western civilization, an enemy that has already showed us its savage side on 9/11 and in the Middle East, an enemy that does not want to coexist with us but wants to replace our civilization. This enemy is radical Islamism, an ideology associated with a religion, but no less an ideology than communism and fascism.
Rabbi Jacobs would like us to believe that the 'vast majority' of Muslims are just like Reform Jews, except that they say "allahu akbar" instead of the shema, and he would like the others to be invisible.
But it's not rational (or safe) to ignore them, even if it were possible to ignore the open sewers of hate speech pouring from the media in Egypt, Iran, the Palestinian Authority, etc.; the rockets falling on Israeli towns (559 so far in 2012); the vicious threats from Iran to destroy Israel; religious wars, terrorism and more.
As another ad that Rabbi Jacobs finds hateful says, "it's not Islamophobia, it's Islamorealism."

Rabbi Richard 'Rick' Jacobs stated: "Yes, these ads are lawful. But they are wrong and repugnant." Yet, his support of gays and same sex-marriage is not wrong (against the Torah) and not repugnant?
let ricky read the unabridged koran before more sentimental leftist drivel seeps from his liberal anesthetized mouth. who gets to feel better about himself for these hollow words is none other than rabbi rick. the rest of us should join nra now. we are in trouble inside and outside too.
Just like Rabbi Jacobs, Mayor Bloomberg is also clueless. He opined that the "Times Square bomber" who shouted Allahu Akbar was just angry because his monthly rent was increased.

The lighthouse is built into a wall - the entrance must be through one of the green doors on the wall??
Consequently, the lighthouse is a lot shorter and squatter when viewed from the seaward side!!
A fascination with lighthouses - don't ask! - has led me to go hunting them!

The old Llama in .380 was not importable under GCA 68. After a hiatus for redesign, the gun got vent rib, a loaded indicator, "target" stocks, and adjustable sights, thus gaining enough "points" for importation to be resumed in 1972. So I think your pistol dates from that time at the earliest.
Not a bad little gun. No world beater, and a bit soft like almost all Spanish pistols, but perfectly serviceable for anything like reasonable use. Pretty accurate, too. I would say a lot better made that some of the Llamas that have come out recently. Jim

One feature on the .380 Llamas is that they use a locked breech, as in a typical 1911 design. IIRC, in .32 and .22, the same sized guns were blowbacks.

What happened on this video was a problem with the autopilot and one, that he know now, persisted all race. It is quite amazing that with a fundamental piece of material working with problems he would have had the confidence to drive the boat as hard as he had done (he lead the race and was a long time fighting for the lead).
This happened on the first days of the race, offshore Portugal and he explains what happened:
with the running minutes on the movie:
Bernard is running downwind at 25 knots boatspeed under main and small spinnaker. There is a problem with his starboard hydrogenerator and he starts the cockpit video recorder to show him going over the back of the boat to disconnect it.
At this moment, the autopilot unexpectedly switches off and the boat accidentally gybes, putting the spinnaker on the wrong side, pinning the boom against the runner and the boat lays flat in the water and stops. "Lucky I didn't break anything," says Bernard. "That was a miracle."
He goes to release the runner, but remembers that he has used the runner tail temporarily to lash on the hydrogenerator he'd been working on, so he has to climb up to untie it first. Meanwhile, you can hear the autopilot off-course alarm going off.
Bernard manages to ease the backstay. The sail stacked outboard is his genoa, which was fastened on, but not very tightly. The boat begins to move and you see Bernard steering, while also trying to operate the canting keel, which is on the wrong side. You hear the motor for that beginning at 4:05 and gradually the boat begins to come upright and tear off again downwind.
Another brief accidental gybe. This happened "three or four times" that afternoon.
Bernard says he's wondering here what's going on. "It was about an hour before I could stabilise the pilot enough to find a way to get it to steer while I got on the phone to the shore team to tell them we had a real problem we needed to sort out or I would not get past Portugal," he explains.
His autopilot problems persisted all the way round the world. "We solved a lot of problems, but we never got the real one. There must have been a bug," he says.

Quand les ennuis commençaient à bord de...
Great video on Bernard, I was impressed with his sailing ability, the ability to comprehend and all most instantly make corrections to a very serious problem. I know these guys are professional and they are all great sailors and great athletes. Watching the video you can see Bernard observing everything around him as he works, trying to put all that has happened into a book in his mind and sorting it all out in near perfect order.
The quick thinking and how Bernard went about fixing a serious problem shows most likely that he had thought often of things that can go wrong. One does not have to think of that exact situation before it happens to be able to solve the problem but a series of smaller problems fixed or thought deeply about that related to this type of situation.
As serious sailors and cruisers I hope we all are spending the time to go over situations that could be serious to you and your crew. Always be thinking, observing, spend time to " WHAT IF?"

U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun said he's pretty happy with the responses they've received in the two-plus weeks since he and his crew sent letters to 35 mayors to gauge their interest in hosting the 2024 Olympic Games.
"We've gotten a handful of really positive responses and a handful of 'Gee, thanks for asking, but this really isn't the right fit for us,'" Blackmun said during a conference call Friday.
"We don't want to get into any specific responses, but it's really going well… We also want to respect the cities who want to gauge in this process quietly if that's what they elect to do."
Los Angeles, which hosted in 1932 and 1984, has been the most vocal about its desire for the Games to return to the city. San Francisco, Boston, and Dallas have also formed exploratory committees, Tulsa and Orlando seem to have backing from citizens, and Chicago and Detroit have bowed out.
No word yet on Phoenix. Lame. Blackmun estimated that operating costs would exceed $3 billion, not including venue and infrastructure construction. The bidding process alone is likely to cost $10 million.
"Our hope is we can reduce some of the cost that the domestic process has in the past," Blackmun said. "It's going to be streamlined and based on more streamlined discussions."
The USOC still has a couple years before they decide which city they'll back for the bid, if any. There's also the possibility it would forgo the 2024 bid and aim for the Winter Games in 2026, in which Denver, Reno/Tahoe, and Salt Lake City have all expressed interest.
- discoroux - Mar 9, 2013 at 1:31 PM
LA's already hosted twice. There are so many fine American cities that would make great Olympic hosts. One of them should have a chance. I'm thinking mostly San Francisco, Boston, or Philadelphia. Orlando would be good, but I'd be concerned about them being characterized as the Disney Games. New Orleans would be good too, if only the Olympics didn't happen during hurricane season.

Home Boy
Maybe now that Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz is a big star, he'll get his own place -- but don't count on it. Even though he's 26 years old, the group's bassist/lyricist still lives at his parents' Chicago-area house, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to move out. He acknowledges, however, that "it definitely wouldn't be good" if his folks discovered certain "items" he keeps in his room, adding, "I don't think they're searching the drawers or anything, but you never know. My mom treats me like I'm fourteen, so it's quite possible."
Contrast this reality check with the Boys' experiences at August's MTV Video Awards. Wentz and cohorts Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley and Patrick Stump won the viewer-chosen MTV2 Award for the clip promoting their breakout hit "Sugar, I'm Going Down," and the victory catapulted them to an exalted level of celebrity, at least for one night. "We were definitely among the least famous people there," Wentz says, "but we got to meet everybody from Ice-T to Paris Hilton. And we hung out a lot with the hip-hop guys at the Def Jam party -- Jay-Z, Ludacris." According to him, rap's rulers "seem to have an affinity for Fall Out Boy," despite their inability to name any of its members. "They knew us as the band with antlers in the video," he admits.
Luckily for Wentz and company, the '80s-esque mini-movie they made for "Dance, Dance," the latest single to jump off From Under the Cork Tree, their major-label debut, has also been embraced by MTV -- and it's entirely antler-free. (Wentz had to learn some choreography during the opus's filming, and for his instructor, he says, "It was like trying to teach a rock how to move.") Whether the followup's success portends a long-term career is another matter. Tree brims with hooky tunes that are distinguished from the pop-punk pack by Wentz's sense of snottiness; after being warned that he was courting legal action by naming the album's first cut "My Name Is David Ruffin and These are the Temptations," he switched the moniker to "Our Lawyers Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued." Too bad the Boys' audience is dominated by tweens and young teens who may not stick around for the long haul. Yet Wentz isn't complaining. "If we could be somebody's first concert, or the first band that gets them into other bands they think are cooler, that's not a bad legacy to have," he notes.
Besides, he can always retreat to his old room, which is packed with his favorite things -- most of them parent-approved. They include a Where the Wild Things Are poster; fliers from hardcore acts such as Bane; a platinum record by the Cure given to him by his manager; some imported Morrissey vinyl that he mounted on his bathroom walls; and some bitchin' doodads from his formative years. "I have Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain from He-Man," he boasts. "I have the Cats' Lair from Thundercats. I have so many toys it's ridiculous."
With cool stuff like that, why would he ever leave?

May 28, 2014
While new registrations during the first quarter of 2014 exceeded the level achieved during the first quarter of 2013, they actually were down 3% from the last quarter of 2013. New registrations by quarter have remained relatively flat since the middle of the 2011 calendar year.
According to the report, since the start of the recovery in the 2010 calendar year, there has only been a single quarter when new registrations Class 3 through Class 8 vehicles reached the 150,000-unit level.
Additionally, during the first three years of the recovery, the first quarter of the new calendar year showed new registrations higher than the level achieved during the last quarter of the previous calendar year. However, in 2013 and at the start of 2014, new registrations in the first quarter were actually lower than the level achieved during the previous quarter.
The total industry year-over-year growth of 8.3% was the result of a strong showing across each of the gross vehicle weight classes. The lowest year-over-year increases were Class 3, increasing 7.5%, and Class 7, gaining 2%. The largest year-over-year increases were Class 4, increasing 14.5%, and Class 8, adding 9.2%.
For Class 4 vehicles, the year-over-year increase was the result of a 28.8% increase in new registrations by fleets of 500-plus units, according to Polk. The best year-over-year increase was with Isuzu, an increase of 33.2%. New Class 4 registrations were 12.9% better than new Class 4 registration during the last quarter of the 2013.

CenCom Sales tax OKed for April ballot
It looks like the countys 911 Central Communications (CenCom) will have a tax proposal on the April ballot.
The Kitsap County commissioners unanimously approved placing a one-tenth of 1 percent sales tax request on a special, mail-in only ballot this April 22 on behalf of CenCom, the countys 911 emergency dispatch agency.
CenCom director Ron McAffee says the sales tax proposal follows closely on the heels of voters sentiment.
The voters have wanted us to find a more equitable way of funding 911 services in Kitsap County, he said.
Supporters say the sales tax not property taxes is much more fair.
This way, even the crooks will help pay for 911 if they actually purchase something, McAffee said, causing a ripple of laughter throughout the county commissioners chambers on Monday, Feb. 24.
The sales tax proposal is expected to eliminate three years of the 911 property tax approved by voters in the fall of 2001. Voters approved the additional 16 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to build a new 911 center in West Bremerton.
If the sales tax increase is approved, the remaining property tax for 2004, 2005 and 2006 would be removed, and it would pay for the remaining $7.5 million to $8 million still owed on the new 911 building.
Once the new 911 center is paid for, emergency officials say the sales tax would provide a continued funding source for 911 services in the county, thereby freeing up revenues among its user agencies including the cities and the county.
