SEATTLE -- Washington's new pot law does not protect many workers from company drug laws.
At U.S. HealthWorks Medical Clinic in Seattle, nearly a dozen people filled the lobby waiting to be drug tested as part of their application for employment.
Their urine is collected, poured into a vial and labeled. A quick test shows if the main ingredient in marijuana, THC, may be present.
I think that because its voted in that its OK for them to smoke it. says Yolanda Morgan, clinic manager. They need to check with who ever they're applying to and if the policy states no drug tolerance, its no drug tolerance.
Several Washington companies tell KING 5 News that Washington's new pot law will not change the way they do business.
Boeing, which has federal contracts, says, Use of marijuana by Boeing employees is prohibited regardless of state law.
Costco reports, Drug testing is a requirement to be hired. Nothing will change. Marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Employment attorney Mike Subit, who argued an important medical marijuana case before the Washington Supreme Court, warns pot smoking workers.
They're not protected from federal prosecution and they're not protected from being fired, he said.
It may be different in the public sector. The Seattle Police Department's Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said,
We have to look at our hiring practices and policies for existing employees and work with the feds, so these relations are intact.
So before you light up with excitement, consider the possible employment risks.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University women's basketball team got its first win of the Cleve Wright era with a 55-39 victory over Chicago State on Saturday. The RedHawks improve to 1-2 on the season, while the Cougars fall to 1-2.
Defensively, Miami could not have been much better, holding Chicago State to only 11 made baskets for the entire game. The 39 points allowed was just outside the top ten defensive efforts in Miami women's basketball history.
Sophomore forward Jessica Rupright had a great game, recording her first career double-double with a team-leading 12 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman forward Nicole Anderson tied Rupright for the team lead in rebounds with 10, her second consecutive double-digit rebounding effort. The RedHawks were dominant overall on the boards, winning the rebound battle 54-26 on Saturday.
The Miami defense was strong early, keeping the Cougars to 1-for-8 shooting over the first six minutes. Rupright and Anderson each had a pair of layups, while senior guard Hannah Robertson nailed a three-pointer to stake the 'Hawks to an 11-2 lead. Miami began to struggle from the field a bit during the next six minutes, but kept up the defensive effort, allowing CSU only five more points. Rupright and senior guard Haley Robertson each hit jumpers to give the RedHawks a 16-7 lead with 7:12 remaining in the period.
Back-to-back three-pointers from Tierra Williams cut the Miami lead to 16-13 with 3:56 to go. Miami closed the half on a 5-2 run off layups from freshman guard Jillian Spurlock and senior center Kelsey Simon to go into the break in front, 21-16.
Rupright led Miami with six points, while Anderson had five points and eight rebounds in the first half. The RedHawks shot 36.0 percent (9-for-25), while holding Chicago State to 21.4 percent (6-for-28) shooting.
A three-pointer from Haley Robertson and a jumper from Rupright helped push the advantage to 26-18 with 17:11 to go. Chicago State closed to within six as the RedHawks did not hit another basket for the next four minutes, but Rupright ended the drought with a layup at the 13:17 mark. That started a 16-3 run over the next 5:20 that gave Miami a 42-23 lead with 7:57 remaining in the game. During the run Hannah Robertson hit a pair of jumpers, while Rupright and Anderson each had layups.
Chicago State was able to get as close as 14 at 42-28, but a layup from freshman guard Jillian Spurlock ended any hope of a Cougar comeback. Haley Robertson and Maddie McCallie each hit three-pointers to make it 50-32 with 3:15 to go, while the RedHawks hit their free throws down the stretch to seal the 55-39 win.
In addition to Rupright's 12 points, Haley Robertson and Spurlock each scored eight, while Anderson and Hannah Robertson each contributed seven. Junior guard Courtney Larson led Miami with four assists. The RedHawks finished the game shooting 35.7 percent (20-for-56) from the field, while holding Chicago State to 21.2 percent (11-for-52) shooting.
Miami is off for the next week until it travels to UIC on Saturday, Nov. 23 for a 4 p.m. (EST) game. Tim Bray has the call and it can be heard live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

Sonar requirements
Sonar is a web application and a maven plugin using both a database. This means that most Sonar users interact with Sonar through web browsers from any computer.
Server side
Sonar runs on any operating system that support Java and Maven. Those two pieces of software need to be installed first :
- Java Development Kit v1.5 or later
- Maven 2.0.9+, 2.1.+ or 2.2.+
Sonar requires a relational database for storage of measures data. Sonar supports :
- MySQL 5.x+
- Oracle 10g+
- PostgreSQL 8.3+ (8.2 since Sonar 1.12)
- MS SQLServer 2005 since Sonar 2.0
Sonar ships pre-configured with the Derby embedded database, which is suitable for evaluation purposes. Although using the Derby database gives access to a fully functional version, we do not test any version migration on it. Therefore, before deploying to a production environment, we strongly recommend that you connect Sonar to an enterprise database.
The Sonar web server requires 500Mo of RAM to run efficiently.
In terms of data space and as an indication, on Nemo the public instance of Sonar, 2Go of data space are used to analyze more than 6 million LOC with an history of 2 years. For every 1'000 LOC to analyze the database stores 350 Ko of data space. Nemo is currently running on a Amazon EC2 small instance.
Client side
Sonar works with most modern browsers:
- Firefox 2.x and 3.x
- Internet Explorer 6.x, 7.x and 8.x
- Safari (latest version)
- Opera (latest version)

Comments about Dia-Compe Blaze BRS Aero:
They are smaller and do not fit my hands as well as the shimano levers. Since I ride my bike almost everyday, I would just get the shimano levers next time even though they are more expensive.
Comments about Dia-Compe Blaze BRS Aero:
I bought these to replace the levers on my old Bridgestone road bike, for which I could not find replacement hoods. These new levers are OK but are not as good as the old ones. The new levers feel more flexy, and the hoods are thin and slide around, and do not feel as nice as the excellent soft thick hoods on the old levers. Also, I am using 25.4 track bars and I really had to crank down the attachment bolts to keep the levers from slipping. And I still have no source for replacement hoods. These will do, but I think I would have been happier with Shimano levers, even the low-end ones.

Coach of the Year
Name: Bryan Goehring
School: West Craven
Years as coach: Fifth season
Record: 25-5
Postseason: Lost to Rocky Mount in Regional Final
College: East Carolina
VANCEBORO — West Craven coach Bryan Goehring doesn't look like Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim — he's years younger than the grizzled Orange leader.
Thankfully, he doesn't act like Boeheim either.
One spectrum where the Eagles' coach does resemble the Hall of Famer is in the way he coaches.
Much like Boeheim recruits his kids to fit the 2-3 zone defense he has made famous, Goehring utilized the kids he has to master such defensive schemes as "Double A" or "Spider."
Defense was only a small fraction of what made the Eagles so good though. Their winning formula was binary.
Goehring coached to the players that he had, which can be hard for some coaches to do.
He often left his pride and ego in the locker room, and let his five guys on the court take over.
"When you have guys like Josh (Cuthbertson) and Demetres (Abrams), it makes your job coaching them a lot easier," said Goehring, the 2012-13 Sun Journal Boys' Basketball Coach of the Year.
"This year was nowhere near as big a testament to me as it was to the kids we have and the program we have."
Goehring achieved something at West Craven that no one seems to be able to remember when it last occurred.
He guided the Eagles to a 14-0 Coastal Conference record and was 18-0 against conference opponents including the conference tournament and state playoffs.
Goehring's 2012-13 squad accomplished the unblemished conference record a year after going 29-2 with erstwhile inside presence Aaron Tate.
Though Tate was gone, a surplus of that 29-2 team was back, spearheaded by Cuthbertson and Abrams.
Cuthbertson had a season like something out of a 2K Sports video game.
The senior averaged 29.4 points per game and 13 rebounds per contest.
Abrams was heads-and-shoulders the best long-range shooter in the area, giving Goehring an unstoppable tandem of tyranny to the opposition.
The team finished with an overall record of 25-5 and every loss was to a playoff team (Kinston twice, Southern Wayne, Ashley and Rocky Mount).
"Josh and Demetres to me, and I'm a little biased because I coach them, are the best two guards in the state," Goehring said.
"They set a new standard for West Craven, reached one level early in their careers, then took the program to a whole other level this year."
Many fans, boosters and casual Vanceboro residents didn't expect West Craven to be as good as it was a year ago.
Record-wise it wasn't, but accomplishment-wise it was.
In 2011-12, the Eagles shared the Coastal Conference title with South Central, but this year, they hoarded it all to themselves.
"Going undefeated in conference was never something we really talked about until right before the Havelock game at the end of the year (Feb. 14). Once we saw that it was attainable. We figured it would be a great accomplishment and a statement on our resume," Goehring said.
It wasn't only Cuthbertson and Abrams carrying the Eagles throughout the season.
Juniors Tyrone Brown and Alkeim Harley flourished under Goehring and gave the coach auspicious signs going into next season.
"This season was the most fun I think I've had at West Craven. We had less expectations than last year but we surpassed them all. We stayed calm pretty much all year and let the games take care of themselves. It's hard to keep getting so close, but we will eventually break through. It's not a matter of if but when."

TomTom To Deliver the World's First Embedded Portable Navigation Solution Directly To Car Manufacturer
Sep 11 2007
TomTom To Deliver the World's First Embedded Portable Navigation Solution Directly To Car Manufacturer
~ New Toyota Yaris to feature unique TomTom device ~
Frankfurt, 11 September 2007. TomTom, the largest portable navigation solutions provider, today at the IAA auto show in Frankfurt Germany, announced the availability of the world's first embedded portable navigation device at a car manufacturer. The latest Toyota Yaris will come with the option to include a TomTom portable navigation device as part of the Yaris' built-in radio system.
This new solution offers the best of both worlds. Users can benefit from all the advantages of TomTom's easy-to-use portable navigation user experience, while the embedded system fits seamlessly into the radio which is part of the Toyota Yaris dashboard.
TomTom's embedded offer provides full audio integration with the car speakers for high quality audio when using spoken instructions, or making hands-free phone calls. Toyota customers can now enjoy all the benefits of TomTom, including map and software updates, portability, and access to TomTom's content and services available through TomTom's free software application TomTom HOME.
"Bringing our extensive navigation experience and insight into the automotive industry is an integral part of our long term business strategy. The embedded solution offers an affordable and improved user experience to customers and we are delighted to launch this industry first with leading automotive manufacturer Toyota," says Harold Goddijn, TomTom's CEO.
As the leading portable navigation solutions provider, TomTom can offer a whole range of benefits compared to traditionally embedded navigation systems, such as:
• An improved user experience from an entirely portable device with its built-in battery and speaker
• An affordable offering for end-customers
• The possibility to update and upgrade the device to keep up with the latest maps and technologies
• Access to content and services provided by TomTom's unique portfolio of content and services, managed through TomTom HOME, such as traffic updates. TomTom HOME is TomTom's free software application enabling users to manage, download, store and transfer content from their computer onto their TomTom device
A display of the embedded portable TomTom device and dashboard will be on show at the TomTom stand at the IAA auto show on 11 September (Hall 8; D23).

How is a fully unregulated market economy sound economic policy that is driven by facts obtained through trial and error when there has never existed one outside of academia and libertarian policy journals. Somalia is brought up to disparage libertarians but even it has a market driven by Islamic extremists who ostensibly are in control of it by killing people for selling televisions, alcohol and denying aid to those who do not want to live under some caliphate. Can you give an example of where this invisible hand i.e. a fully unregulated market economy has existed?
These sort of utopias on the right just seem no different from a fully classless and stateless society that communism promises or a heaven after death that the Abrahamic religions promise. I'm a political and economic pluralist and I know that the only way forward is to have an open society with a big table for everyone to have a say at. With enough hands and heads at work we may hopefully muddle towards progress rather than fumble and regress, well, at least most of the time. Isn't that the rational, albeit messy reality of the human institution of democracy? If that is democracy, what the hell is libertarianism?

Ewen McKenzie has made four changes to the Reds forwards for Saturday's clash against the Force.
Openside Liam Gill displaces Beau Robinson despite the threat of David Pocock at the breakdown. Hooker James Hanson comes in for the injured Saia Faingaa while Van Humphries and James Slipper are preferred to Rob Simmons and Greg Holmes.
'One of the main areas we are focusing on this week is being competitive at the breakdown and this has been reflected in our selection of Gill and the combination of Beau and Eddie [Quirk] on the bench,' McKenzie said.
McKenzie has made one change to the backline, with Joel Rapana starting at centre in place of Jono Lance, who broke his leg last week.
Reds – 15 Rod Davies, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Joel Rapana, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Luke Morahan, 10 Dallan Murphy, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Van Humphries, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Ben Daley.
Subs: 16 Albert Anae, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Rob Simmons, 19 Eddie Quirk, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Nathan Eyres-Brown.

The Mental Health Unit is governed by Minnesota Statutes 253B. (http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/253B/).
Types of Commitments
The six types of civil commitment proceedings are:
Petition ProcessThe civil commitment process begins with a request to file a petition for commitment. Generally, either a family member or the treating hospital serves as the petitioner. The petitioner requests that the patient be placed involuntarily under the care and supervision of a hospital or regional treatment center because of one of the six reasons discussed above.
This request for petition and all of the attachments that describe the patient's recent behavior and reasons supporting commitment are forwarded to the County pre-petition screening team. This team reviews the petition, investigates the allegations, interviews the patient and other interested persons and reviews the patient's records.
After collecting and reviewing all relevant information, the team determines whether to continue the commitment process. If the team rejects the petition, it is sent back to the petitioner who may appeal this decision directly to the County Attorney's Office. If the team recommends commitment, it drafts a report summarizing all of its investigations and submits this to the Civil Commitment Unit of the County Attorney's Office.
An Assistant County Attorney reviews the petition, all the attachments, and the pre-petition screening report to insure that all of the requirements necessary for a valid commitment are met and that there is sufficient evidence to prove the underlying behaviors and that commitment is the least restrictive alternative available to the patient. If the County Attorney's Office approves the petition, the matter is set for a pretrial hearing.
Once a petition is filed for the commitment of a patient, an attorney is selected from a pre-appointed panel to represent the patient throughout the commitment process. The patient also has the option of hiring their own private attorney. This attorney is an advocate for the patient's interests and informs the patient about the commitment process and the law.
Court ProcessThe court process consists of three statutorily required hearings, beginning with the preliminary hearing. This hearing provides an opportunity for a voluntary agreement to be entered into by all the parties that may eliminate the need for further hearings. If a settlement is not reached, the court determines whether the patient presents an imminent danger to himself or others. If the court finds that there is an imminent danger, the patient is held in a secure facility.
The court then appoints an examiner and the patient selects a second examiner to conduct a pre-hearing examination. These licensed professionals examine the patient and submit reports to the court with their recommendations concerning commitment. These examinations are independent of those done by the staff at the treating hospital.
After completing the above examinations, the case is heard by a judge in a full judicial hearing. The petitioner, through their counsel the County Attorney, calls witnesses and submits evidence showing that all of the requirements for commitment have been satisfactorily met. The patient is then allowed to submit evidence to show that he or she does not meet the conditions necessary for commitment, or that there is a less restrictive alternative available for them.
The judge then makes a determination, based on all of the evidence, regarding the level of treatment needed by the patient. The judge may dismiss the petition completely or may structure a treatment plan that the patient agrees to comply with. If necessary, the court may commit the patient to a treating hospital under the care and supervision of the court and the hospital. In extreme cases, the court may even order a patient to receive medications that the patient does not wish to receive. This only occurs after a separate hearing is held to determine that this action is appropriate. This hearing is often known as a Jarvis hearing.
Most patients are committed to either a public or private hospital for treatment with the Anoka-Metro Regional Treatment Center serving as a back-up location. Most initial commitment periods cannot exceed six months. After six months, the court is required to review the matter following a full trial hearing, and decide whether to extend the commitment up to a maximum of twelve months. However, in cases involving Mentally Ill and Dangerous Persons, Sexual Psychopathic Personalities, or Sexually Dangerous Persons, commitment is of an indefinite duration. Periodic reviews are conducted by the court to determine whether the initial commitment remains valid.

I am a firearms instructor and own a shooting / training center. Tell me more about what type of targets, shooting, cal etc you need to account for. I will try to help from the target shooting design aspect...but there are many on this board that have much more welding experience and they will surely fill in the blanks when we know more about what you will need.

Target frames
I build target stands for our gun club similar to liliysdad's stands. The big advantages of this design are, the vertical frames that holds the target are 1"x2" strips of wood. If you shoot the frame, the bullet will go through the 1"x2" and not bounce back toward you like it might if the frame was steel. If you hit the frame several times, you only have to replace an inexpensive 1"x2" strip of wood and not a steel target frame. You can attach any type paper target to the frame with a hand held staple gun, at any height you want, which makes it quick to set up and change targets. The 1"x2"s will lift out of the bottom steel frame and both bottom frame and 1"x2"s will stack in the back of you truck or even your auto trunk. From the pictures liliysdad posted, I would guess he shoots USPSA/IPSC.
Have a great, safe shoot this weekend,

PEMBROKE — The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is eliminating 30 positions and restructuring six departments, Chancellor Kyle Carter announced Tuesday in an email to staff.
The Robesonian was unable to get a copy of the email, but The Fayetteville Observer reported this morning that Carter informed employees by email that eight filled positions — five faculty and three staff — and 22 vacant positions are being eliminated to offset the loss of more than $3.1 million in state funding. Funding had to be reduced in the areas of operations and instructional efficiencies, the email said.
Staff members will reportedly work until Nov. 15. The contracts of those faculty members being eliminated were not renewed before the beginning of the new semester.
To save costs, the university also plans to consolidate and reorganize six academic departments. Two programs, the graduate degree in Music Education and the undergraduate degree in Applied Physics, may be eliminated.
Elimination of any programs would have to be approved by the UNC Board of Governors.
"The faculties of both programs will be given an opportunity to respond to this recommendation and to provide additional information before the decision is finalized," Carter reportedly wrote in his email. "Should the programs be discontinued, there will be a teach-out schedule to accommodate any currently enrolled students who are working toward these degrees."
Attempts to get a comment this morning from university officials were unsuccessful.
According to a previous statement from the university, several other programs, including undergraduate programs in Theatre Arts, Art Education, and Music Education and the graduate program in Art Education, were considered for cuts. These programs will continue, but must develop plans to increase enrollment and meet the university's and UNC system's goals, Carter said.
The decision to eliminate the positions and restructure departments was included in a plan established earlier in consultation with deans, academic department chairs and departmental financial managers. The original plan, among other things, called for eliminating as many as 36 positions, consolidating departments and the possibility of eliminating programs.
According to university officials, the budget-reduction planning process involved each department or division submitting recommendations to its respective vice chancellor on how to best meet UNC Pembroke's mandated target. The plan was reviewed by the University Budget Advisory Committee, made up of administrators, faculty and staff, and was presented to the board of trustees for comments.

France fought hard for a 23-17 win over Scotland in Edinburgh.
Scotland were very impressive in the opening quarter and looked capable of recording their first victory over Les Beus in six years. However, errors at crucial moments were duly punished by France, who took advantage of the hosts' defensive lapses and ill-discipline to secure a comeback win.
Scotland dominated from the outset, as they camped inside the French red zone for the first eight minutes of the match. Their efforts were rewarded with a try for debutant fullback Stuart Hogg, who showed great pace to dive in at the corner. Flyhalf Greig Laidlaw secured a 10-point advantage when he added a conversion, then slotted a penalty moments later.
But in typical fashion, Scotland failed to build on to their early ascendancy as France drew level before the break. Inside centre Wesley Fofana grabbed his second try in only his second Test as he beat four defenders on route to the whitewash. Scrumhalf Morgan Parra kicked five points to see the scoreboard read 10-10 at half-time.
France edged ahead for the first time in the match early in the second stanza, when Parra slotted his second penalty. Scotland surprised again though, when they scored against a run of play. Fofana was tackled in centre field, and a turnover sparked a counter attack. Smart interplay saw the ball moved wide and wing Lee Jones dotted down.
It didn't take long for France to regain the lead as a defensive lapse saw fullback Maxime Medard score a telling try two minutes later. Replacement flyhalf Lionel Beauxis then settled the result with a drop goal.

BC Khimik Yuzhne came through in the clutch to take a big step towards the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge with a 79-74 win over eliminated JDA Dijon.
With rivals Tartu Rock losing to Group D leaders Gaz Metan Medias, Khimik took advantage with a nervous win that went down to the wire.
They got off to a fantastic start, leading 19-9 on Suad Sehovic's three-pointer a little over six minutes into the first quarter, but Dijon, despite their own hopes of progression being over, did not go away.
A 6-0 run brought them level at 27-27 on Jeremy Leloup's dunk three minutes into the second quarter and Andre Harris then nosed them in front.
That was part of a 17-5 run that put them up 38-32 on Terrance Campbell's three-pointer.
Khimik came back once more to set up a topsy-turvy third quarter as the teams traded blows, and it went all the way to the final few seconds.
Leloup's lay-up made it a one-point game, 75-74, with 38 seconds left.
Willie Deane stretched Khimik's lead with two free throws and a costly turnover from David Melody then allowed Sehovic to make it a five-point game with two more.
Melody then missed a three for Dijon, and their chance of an upset melted away.
Deane and Devoe Joseph finished with 17 points each for Khimik.
Melody led Dijon with 15 while Campbell had 14 and Leloup 10.
BC Khimik player Stanislav Zavadskyi
"Today we had two tasks - to neutralise Dijon's big guys and prevent three-point throws. We managed the first but failed the second. But the most important thing - our victory."
BC Khimik head coach Zoran Martic
"This game was very difficult for us. Dijon had good discipline in the game and a great three-point shot. Hard to play against this team. In the first half we did not have very good defence but in the second half we played better. The most important thing in today's game was the rebounding - we won it."
JDA Dijon player Larry Owens
"First of all I want to congratulate Khimik. I think that we were not focused on defence. It was not our game."
JDA Dijon head coach Jean-Louis Borge
"I can say that my players have made many attempts to win the game, but it was difficult to do so as we had a long journey. We have one more game in EuroChallenge - against Tartu, and we will try to win it. Good luck to Khimik in the EuroChallenge and in the Ukrainian Championship."

New hangar ready for action

Dan Bates / The Herald
Jim Martinelli of the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field drives a WWII-vintage Sherman tank M4A1 to the museum's newest hangar on Monday.
It was followed by a 1970s Russian MiG supersonic fighter plane.
Yes, World War II and the Cold War are over. The two military artifacts were being moved on Monday into a new hangar at Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection museum.
The brand new building will add 25,000 square feet of viewing space to the current 35,000 square-foot hangar where 15 World War II-era flying machines are on display. The new hangar also contains a 49-seat theater.
Construction on the building, just north of the current museum at 3407 109th St. SW, began last summer and just recently concluded.
Opening day for the new hangar is scheduled for April 12. Vulcan, the museum's owner, is not disclosing the construction cost.
The space makes room to show 14 more items from Allen's collection, said Cory Graff, military aviation curator for the museum.
"Part of Paul's idea is to have all these pieces on display for the public," Graff said.
Allen, the Microsoft cofounder, has been buying World War II-era aircraft and vehicles for about 15 years. The Flying Heritage Collection began as a museum in 2005 in an industrial park at the Arlington Airport. The planes and other pieces, which include a German missile, were moved in 2008 to a former Alaska Airlines repair hangar at Paine Field.
The artifacts include fighter planes, bombers, tanks, cannons and other equipment. Nearly all the planes are in flying condition and are taken out from Paine Field on "fly days" every other Saturday during the spring and summer.
Some of the pieces have been rotated through the main museum hangar. Others have been in refurbishment and have been stored at several different locations, including hangars at Paine Field and at the former museum space in Arlington, Graff said.
The Sherman tank M4A1 was built late in World War II in Chicago and thus never saw combat. It was used as a training tank and later sold to the Belgian army, Graff said.
The tank had been used for target practice and was full of bullet marks. It was bought by an Englishman who restored it and later sold it to Allen. More of this type of tank was made than any other in U.S. history, according to the museum.
The Russian MiG-29UB was built in the 1970s and wound up with the Ukranian army after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Graff said. The plane went through several other hands before Allen was able to buy it.
The fighter is still capable of supersonic speed but it will be flown at relatively low speed on fly days, Graff said. Nearby residents beware, however: "It's very, very loud," he said.
Other items in the new space will include American P-51 and P-47 fighters; a Japanese Zero fighter; a Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat; a Soviet T-34 tank and German Hetzer tank, and a German 88-millimeter anti-aircraft gun.
The theater will feature short films about the planes and other artifacts, including how the equipment was affected by weather conditions, company spokeswoman Laura Ray said.
Allen's company, Vulcan Inc., paid $5.2 million to renovate the Alaska Airlines hangar, built in 1949. The company received $2.2 million back from Snohomish County, which owns and operates the airport. Vulcan is paying the county $370,000 a year for 10 years under its lease agreement, and more for ramp space and parking,
The space for the new hangar is on property that's covered under the original lease, Ray said. The county's fees for parking and storm water increased with the new building.
Bill Sheets: 425-339-3439; email@example.com.
Free day

Club competitions
National team competitions
Emma Meesseman of Belgium is the FIBA Europe Young Women's Player of the Year for 2011.
The 19-year-old center was the winner of the experts' vote with 194 points* to edge Queralt Casas of Spain, who won the fans' vote, in a very close contest.
The 2010 winner, Nika Baric of Slovenia, came in third.
The charismatic Meesseman had a dream summer with the national team. She led Belgium to the top of the podium at the U18 European Championship Women against all odds and walked away with the MVP trophy, averaging a double-double in points and rebounds.
She had already made her mark on the international scene with the senior national team, averaging 7.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest in 10 EuroBasket Women Division A games.
Playing -and excelling- against senior players was nothing new to her at this point, since as an 18-year-old she had an excellent season at club level with the Lotto Young Cats in EuroCup Women 2010-2011, with 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
"Emma Meesseman was the natural leader of this summer's surprise package, the very talented, hugely enthusiastic Belgian team that earned the gold medal at the U18 European Championship Women," commented FIBA Europe President Olafur Rafnsson.
"It is this gift of leadership, the ability to step up and take over when your team needs you the most, that I personally admire and perhaps makes her stand out in a generation of extremely talented players in Belgian basketball," Mr Rafnsson added.
"In sport, few things come by chance. Meesseman's success today is the outcome of years of hard work on her part and some fantastic work in development in Belgium," said FIBA Europe Secretary General Nar Zanolin upon hearing the news.
"I am convinced that if she keeps working in the same way, this award will prove just the beginning of a long and highly successful career," Mr Zanolin concluded.
FIBA Europe will announce the Women's Player of the Year for 2011 on Tuesday 7 February and the winners in the Men's and Young Men's categories next week.
*Six points awarded to the first-choice player in every ballot, three points to the second choice and two points to the third.

Is Bob Skinstad too old, too fat or simply too good?
In his most revealing interview since coming home, Skinstad tells SA Rugby magazine why he wants to make another contribution to the game.
"When I announced I was returning to rugby I read that I was too old, that I had a beer boep, that I was too fat and that the game had passed me by," he says. "The only way to counter those reports was to start at the back and work my way up again."
Skinstad, who picked up 8kg of muscle in two months, believes his experience gives him an edge over the younger generation.
"I knew I would be up against guys who were physically stronger and faster, but I also knew they were mentally younger. The gym can't give you life experience and the quickest 40m time doesn't give you wisdom."
Skinstad also reveals what was said during chats with Dick Muir and Jake White last year, how living in London changed him and why his wife and five-month-old daughter have given his life balance.
Also in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine:
– Why the High Performance Centre has failed
– How John Plumtree has given the Sharks pack an edge
– How the Sharks went from Super 14 chumps to potential champs
– John Mitchell rates the Boks' World Cup chances and gives Luke Watson some advice.
– Graham Henry explains why the All Blacks can still get better
– Can Sevens save Gcobani Bobo's career?
– Jonny Wilkinson's magical return
– Naas Botha on why age shouldn't matter in rugby
– Jonathan Kaplan defends Super 14′s under-fire referees
– Nick Mallett gives his verdict on the early Super 14 rounds
– Rassie on the new ruck laws
– We reveal AJ Venter's other life
– Who knows Monty better: wife Tasmin or team-mate Butch James?

Love can hurt. But divorce can hurt even more, especially if you are a celebrity. Here are some of the stars' most expensive splits.
Kelsey Grammer married Camille Donatacci, a former Playboy model, in 1997. After nearly 13 years of marriage, Donatacci, seen here with Grammer at the 2008 U.S. Open tennis tournament, filed for divorce in the summer of 2010. The divorce, which was the third for the "Cheers" and "Frasier" actor, ended up costing him $30 million when it was finalized in February 2011. Grammer married his fourth wife, British flight attendant Kayte Walsh, two weeks after his divorce from Donatacci was finalized.

Gareth Anscombe scored 20 points for the Chiefs in their annihilation of the Cheetahs.
The Chiefs won 45 – 3 after leading 10 – 3 at half time.
It was a game of two halves for the Cheetahs, as they dominated possession and territory stats in the first half. That did not translate into points on the board though, as Johan Goosen missed three kicks at goal, which would have seen the Cheetahs lead at half time.
Instead, the Chiefs used their minimal attacking opportunity to score a try through Liam Messam in the first half, to lead somewhat against the run of play at the break.
The second half was a completely different story though as the Chiefs blitzed five converted tries to run away with the match, Gareth Anscombe following up his 21 points last weekend against the Highlanders with another 20 point haul, not missing a kick all match and getting in on the try scoring action.
The Cheetahs will rue the chances they had in the first half, and will have to go back to the drawing board to look at their play in the second half, where they simply had no ball in hand.
After looking good in the first half, the Cheetahs loose forwards seemed to have run out of steam, while the backline was terrible to say the least. Sarel Pretorius had the exact opposite effect on the game as he had against the Sharks last week, with his poor passing and decision making costing the Cheetahs plenty of possession.
Amongst the rest of the backs, only Rob Ebersohn got go forward with Raymond Rhule and Johann Sadie running laterally and not gaining any ground.
Positives for the Cheetahs was their lineout play, where they dominated proceedings and got possession from the set piece with ease.
As for the Chiefs, their running backs were unstoppable, Aaron Cruden being the commander, popping up passes for outside backs to run attacking angles. Their biggest concern would be the 10 breakdown infringements they had, and will have to work on that before facing the Stormers in Cape Town next weekend.
The Cheetahs' tour does not get any easier as they next face the Highlanders in Dunedin.

The best of the Boundary Waters is captured on film by this internationally known local photographer.
The work of Ely resident and former "National Geographic" photographer Jim Brandenburg can be found throughout the area, including at the Grand Ely Lodge. Brandenburg spent much of his life traveling the world on assignment for "National Geographic," but this gallery focuses mainly on his local photography. The gallery is clean, spacious and sparsely decorated. The focus is definitely on the walls displaying dozens of shots, mainly from within the Boundary Waters. He's most known for his approach to wolf photography. Other popular subjects include loons, fish, deer, rabbits and other Northern wildlife. In addition to prints, his latest books and films are also for sale.

"Are you married…kids?"
I always had to answer, "No, not married and no kids just yet," with a big smile, hoping they would walk over to the next cubicle and rehash old times with some other lost soul. I was never fond of high school reunions or even the thought of one. My ten-year reunion was soon approaching - but it had nothing to do with me, because I wasn't planning on attending. For the love of God, I ran out of that school like a bat outa' hell! Why would I want to revisit a time I hated? Some people loved high school, but for me, it was one big messy blur of distress.
One night, after dinner, my girlfriend and I walked into a local bar down the road to have a drink. It was Friday night and the bar seemed to be packed just by the looks of the parking lot. We had to park in the neighboring establishment's lot. It seemed like a good night. We heard the music blaring and people shuffling around the patio area with their cocktails.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw people running over towards me.
"Deb! Oh….muy….GAWD! I haven't seen you in like- forever! Come here!!!" One by one, they all started lining up to hug me, even the ones who used to despise me. One guy came up to me with his arms wide open, waiting for a big bear hug. I recognized him as 'the funny heavy kid'. He was black and had an extreme weight problem in the past. We loved him though - he was so friendly and so hysterical! But, we always noticed he was a bit "soft spoken".
"Ivan! How are you? You look great!" He was now tall, thin with a muscular build and absolutely gorgeous.
"Oh hunnay, I am doing just F*I*N*E--- fine! Girlfriend- whatchya' been doing with yourself?" He said in the most flamboyant tone.
"Not much- still the same." I never knew what to say in these circumstances.
"Are you married?"
"No." I said, "I'm with her." Pointing to my girlfriend, as his eyes widened like two huge bowling balls.
"What about you? You on my team?" I said, bumping his arm, as if I already knew.
"Aren't you on my side of the fence?"
"You mean, am I gay?"
"Oh hell no girlfriend- I love my ladies!" He said, snapping his fingers like those guys on Living Color--
Three snaps down in Z-formation!
It's just as bad as if you were to ask a woman with a little belly weight, "So when are you expecting?" I was totally embarrassed, but at the same time, I was so shocked to hear that he wasn't gay. Maybe he wasn't out yet? Or maybe that was just his demeanor- the way he acted? At any rate, I felt horrible for my wrong judgment. I apologized and he said, "Oh honey, I get that all the time, don't you worry about it."
But I did. I worried and fidgeted the rest of the night.
So back to the office scene…. I was known as the 'lesbian' of the group.
"Psssssssss! Did you know Deb's a lesbian?"
"A what?"
"A lesbian."
"A Lebanese?"
It was the talk around the water coolers. And God forbid one of my co-workers were found walking out for lunch with me.
"Hmm…You think she's gay too?"
Thank God one of my co-workers found this quite amusing. We started to go to lunch all the time, and we started making people believe we were a couple. We were the talk of the company. People popped their heads over their cubicles like nosey little prairie dogs and wondered what we were whispering about. One gay man that worked with us, who was also our very close friend, got upset with us because we were way too 'chatty'. Even though he knew we were playing around with other people's heads, even he thought we were an item.
It's so hard to mind your own business sometimes!

Vi Agra Falls LP: A Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery
Vi Agra Falls LP: A Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery (Paperback)
Tucked away in a cozy cul-de-sac on Heraldsgate Hill, Judith McMonigle Flynn hopes for smooth sailing in her longtime role as an innkeeper. But Judith's skill in dealing with guests is matched only by her knack for coming across corpses.
Mystery lovers who enjoy madcap mayhem will have no reservations about returning to Hillside Manor in the twenty-fourth Bed-and-Breakfast book from USA Today bestselling author Mary Daheim.
Judith's worst nightmare comes true when Vivian Flynn—husband Joe's first wife—moves back into the neighborhood, bringing along her newest spouse, Billy "Blunder" Buss, a former minor-league baseball player who is many years younger than his shop-worn bride. Still, the B&B business is going well and the newlyweds don't seem to be causing problems for the Flynns. That seemingly calm summer idyll is broken when Vivian, who has become mysteriously wealthy, announces plans to tear down her own house and the recently vacated bungalow next door so she can build a big, bad condo. Judith, along with the rest of the neighbors in the cul-de-sac, is up in arms, vowing to fight the project to the death.
Vivian's past catches up with her when Frankie Buss comes to town. Billy and Frankie's late father, elderly Oklahoma rancher Potsy Buss, was married to Vivian for nine months before dying and bequeathing her his vast wealth. Frankie Buss intends to stir the pot of gold that Potsy left his widow, and he's trying to cut a deal with Vivian and her most recent mate, Billy. Naturally, where else would Frankie and his wife, Marva Lou, stay but at Hillside Manor?
And naturally, somebody checks out . . . permanently. The "somebody" isn't a Buss family member, and turns out to be a "nobody" because the body can't be identified. To save the B&B as well as her sanity, Judith must figure out not only who did it, but who it was who was found dead in Vivian's backyard.

Restoring Ancient French Castles
Its soft light and lush sensuality melt hard edges and soften harsh realities. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Picasso and Peter Mayle were smitten by its charms. Unfortunately, so are swarms of tourists who drive up local prices and strain local resources.
La Sabranenque is committed to revitalizing historic villages and preserving traditional, environmentally friendly building techniques.
No Experience Required
Volunteers are picked up at Avignon train station, which proved to be a bonus because it gave me chance to experience the exuberance of the city's famous arts festival. I stowed my bags in a locker at the train station and caught a few street performances.
We were dropped off at the project's home base, the village of Saint Victor la Coste, classified by the Reader's Digest Selection Guide as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Our workdays began early, at 8:00 a.m., and broke off before the afternoon heat blanketed the village. We helped carry water and equipment up to an 11th century castle, negotiating a winding path designed to slow down invading armies. Castellas, built by the Sabran family (from whom the village takes its name), made Saint Victor la Coste one of the best-defended points of the region.
During the last few years, work has extended beyond the castle to encompass nearby villages as well. The staff uses building techniques that are organic to the region: locally gathered raw materials, simple hand tools and homemade mortar.
Listening to the Stones
We had the option of working mornings and taking time off in the afternoon or participating in more specialized afternoon workshops. Pascal, a master stonecutter, taught us the difference between shaping stones to fill walls and chiselling them to support arches and windows. He cut with the care and attention of a surgeon, feeling for the pulse of the stone.
Fresh Organic Food
Eggs were gathered from local chickens, figs and apricots from nearby trees. According to the chef, passing food through a blender is enough to oxidize it unnecessarily. "Slow food" and simple manual technology was the order of the day. The same applied to chores. We washed the dishes together and laundry was done in a large sink. Clothes dry quickly in the hot, dry Mediterranean climate. It's a lifestyle that's gentle on the environment .
Sampling the Wares
Opportunities for authentic contact with locals come more easily than if you were traveling alone. The owner of one of Saint Victor's two general stores offered this encouraging perspective. Tourists, he explained, came mostly to take pleasure and formed few attachments. "La Sabranenquers" on the other hand came to give something to the village.
July is a good time to go if you want to take in the Avignon Arts festival street performances, plays and poetry readings. Since you'll be picked up and dropped off in Avignon, it's convenient to spend an extra day there.
If it's visual arts you crave, spend a day in Arles (less than an hour from Avignon by train). You can get a map at the tourist office that guides you to some of the inspiring sources of Van Gogh's paintings, including the famous yellow café.
Medieval Festival
If you want a change of scenery, Laudun, a neighbouring village, was the site of the biggest dig in the Languedoc region. The extensive remains of a roman camp, Camp de César, have been uncovered and preserved. Laudun also boasts some fine Romanesque chapels and the Manoir de Figon vineyards. The town can be reached by foot, if you're up for a few hours of walking.
La Sabranenque Restoration Projects
One week sessions, like Volunteer and Hike or Volunteer and Discover Provence Architecture, available in fall and spring: US $565
Rempart offers similar work camps all over France.
