Children Exposed to Methamphetamine before Birth Have Increased Cognitive Problems – Long-term Study Highlights the Need for Early Intervention
Comments : 1
In the only long-term, National Institutes of Health-funded study of prenatal methamphetamine exposure and child outcome, researchers found youngsters exposed to the potent illegal drug before birth had increased cognitive problems at age 7.5 years, highlighting the need for early intervention to improve academic outcomes and reduce the potential for negative behaviors, according to the study published online by The Journal of Pediatrics.
The researchers studied 151 children exposed to methamphetamine before birth and 147 who were not exposed to the drug. They found the children with prenatal methamphetamine exposure were 2.8 times more likely to have cognitive problem scores than children who were not exposed to the drug in a test often used for measuring cognitive skills, the Connors' Parents Rating Scale.
"These problems include learning slower than their classmates, having difficulty organizing their work and completing tasks and struggling to stay focused on their work," said Lynne M. Smith, MD, a lead researcher at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) and corresponding author of the study. "All of these difficulties can lead to educational deficits for these children and potentially negative behavior as they find they cannot keep up with their classmates."
Methamphetamine use among women of reproductive age is a continuing concern, with 5% of pregnant women aged 15-44 reporting current illicit drug use. Methamphetamine usage during pregnancy can cause a restriction of nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus, as well as potential long-term problems because the drug can cross the placenta and enter the fetus's bloodstream.
Previous research in Sweden found evidence of lower IQ scores, decreased school performance and aggressive behavior among children with prenatal methamphetamine exposure. The study tracked the children through age 15, but it didn't compare them to children who had no prenatal methamphetamine exposure.
Researchers at LA BioMed and in Iowa, Oklahoma and Hawaii – all places where methamphetamine usage is prevalent – have been tracking children who were not exposed to the drug and children with prenatal methamphetamine exposure since 2002, as part of the Infant Development, Environment and Lifestyle (IDEAL) Study. This study, which is the only prospective, longitudinal National Institutes of Health study of prenatal methamphetamine exposure and child outcome, was conducted under the auspices of Principal Investigator Barry M. Lester, PhD, at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island.
"By identifying deficits early in the child's life, we can intervene sooner and help them overcome these deficits to help them have greater success in school and in life," said Dr. Smith. "Through the IDEAL Study, we are able to track these children and better understand the long-term effects of prenatal methamphetamine exposure."
This research was supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Grant No. R01A014918, and the National Center on Research Resources, Grant No. U54RR026136.

Thank you for taking the time to share this information. About 4-5 years ago my husband and I noticed our 14 year old daughter (my stepdaughter of 9 years, but she calls me "Mommy" and has never known her real mother) was beginning to struggle in school and at home as well. She was becoming very disorganized with her school work, she seemed irritable all the time and could not remember to do simple day-to-day tasks. It took us 2 full months to get her to remember to hang her robe every night after her bath! She is one of five children we have so we could see in a short period of time that something was slightly different about her. After speaking with my mother-in-law I learned that her real mother had abused Methamphetamine terribly and had never received prenatal care from a doctor. It took a while for me to connect the dots, but I realized that the selfish actions of her mother 14 years ago were affecting her today. While I have still not discussed any of this with her (and I honestly don't know if I should), your information described her precisely and has helped me to understand her situation and especially to have more patience with her! I want to thank you for sharing this piece of information with the public. You have touched on a subject not nearly enough people are educated about!

The Prehistoric DVD reaches back in time to show the fascinating world you live in as it used to be. Rewinding through the years, you can see the changes in landscape, housing, everyday animals and more. The Prehistoric dinosaurs DVD lets you witness the evolution of earth from pterodactyls to an ancient ocean now extinct, and so much more.
p>DISCOVERY EXCLUSIVE!
This graphics intensive Prehistoric DVD mega-series takes you on a backwards timeline to see what stood, lived, fought and died in your backyard hundreds, thousands, even millions of years ago. For example, the high-rises and sprawl of modern Los Angeles revert to farmland and settlements, then desert. In the Prehistoric dinosaurs DVD, spinning back further in time, we reveal a lush green land prowled by woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers. Back even further, we see the land itself form as two continental plates slam together in a violent upheaval. Rewinding to the age of dinosaurs, we witness pterodactyls circling the skies over an ancient ocean filled with sharp-toothed marine dinosaurs in search of their prehistoric prey. During the Prehistoric Series DVD, the focus of this series will be the amazing extinct creatures that once called our cities home. While many people know that ferocious dinosaurs and large mammals once roamed America, very few realize that these creatures stalked the exact sites where we've built our major cities and most famous landmarks. The Prehistoric Videos shows that we are literally walking in the footsteps of these extinct animals every day, without even realizing it. Episodes: New York, Chicago, D.C., Denver, Dallas, and Los Angeles.
Shop for the Prehistoric DVD, and go back in time, hundreds or millions of years back, to see exactly what was walking around in your backyard.

Breezy WeekendNovember 16th, 2012 at 7:33 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
This morning we still had some showers lingering across the region. There wasn't much rain as we only picked up a couple tenths of an inch. It pushed out by between 6-7am.
High pressure will build in from the west through the afternoon. A weak area of low pressure to our southeast will keep pushing away.
Skies will gradually clear today with northerly winds gusting up to 20mph. Highs will be in the mid-upper 50s. There may be a few 60s inland if we're lucky.
Tomorrow we'll see partly sunny skies with highs in the upper 50s. The breeze will stay up and turn out of the northeast. So it will be breezy during the Grand Illumination in Norfolk. Also, clouds will build into the evening.
On Sunday the offshore low pushes back west just a bit. It will still stay offshore, but some of the showers with that will also drift back west. So we will be on the edge of an area of scattered showers on Sunday.
Because of the persistent northeast winds, we could see some nuisance to minor tidal flooding in the region. It doesn't look too bad, but it could pose a problem for parts of highway 12 that have seen the recent beach erosion. Luckily we are coming out of new moon now. So the natural tide should subside a bit. Stay tuned as these details may change. At this time Thanksgiving looks pretty good. Mostly sunny and highs in the low 60s. I can't wait to eat some turkey.
Have a great weekend!

Vital Information: Patents, Copyright, Trademarks, Reg Design
There are four main forms of intellectual property protection:
- Patent – this protects the functionality of a product
- Registered Design – this protects the external appearance of a product
- Trademark – this protects the name or logo of a product, company or business
- Copyright – this predominantly protects oral, audio, art and written material and also applies to some software and computer programs
What you need to know:
A patent protects the functionality of the product: how it works and its application.
In order to be deemed patentable a product must be:
- Novel
- Inventive
- Unobvious
…and fit into one of the following categories:
- new technology
- an improvement upon existing technology
- a new combination of existing technology.
Patents can take between 18months and 4½ years to be granted but...
As soon as you have filed your patent application no one globally can file the same application and it be granted.
Patents last a maximum of 20 years, provided you maintain your annual renewal fees
Patents stop anyone producing your product within the country you hold a patent
There is no such thing as a worldwide patent.
The most far reaching patent you can obtain is the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) which covers you in 142 countries globally, other grouped options include the EPC (European Patent Convention) covering the majority of Europe and some extension states.
Patent law can vary from country to country so it is important to see a patent attorney when applying outside the UK to make sure you are applying correctly.
In some countries, what the UK know to be a patent would be referred to as a Utility Patent.
Registered Design
A registered design protects the external shape and design of a product and this can be extended to include: lines, contours, colours, shape, texture, materials and the ornamentation
Registered designs can also be applied for to protect patterns
In order to be registered a design must be deemed new and original
You cannot register a design that includes a national emblem, flag or official symbol
Registered designs last a maximum of 25 years, provided you maintain 5-yearly renewal fees
The most common design registration application is a Community Registered Design, which covers over 30 European countries.
In some countries, including USA, a registered design is known as a Design Patent or an Industrial Design registration
There is an International Registration of Industrial Designs known as the Hague Agreement, but this only covers countries that adhere to the registered design laws and not design patents, therefore does not include the USA.
Trademarks protect logos, symbols or names of products or businesses.
Trademarks can have appeared in the public domain for any length of time before registering and therefore do not have to be deemed 'new' but must still be seen to be 'original' in relation to the branding of your company
Trademarks cannot be protected if they describe the product or company with which they are affiliated ie. 'Good Wine'
Trademarks can last indefinitely but must be renewed every 10 years to be kept in force
You can also apply for a Community Trademark, similarly to the Community Registered Design and covering the same geographical area.
Also similar to registered designs, there is an international trademark application known as the Madrid Agreement.
Copyright applies to any original work of literature, manuscript, artwork, music, oral, audio or recording.
Computer programs, databases and websites can also be protected by copyright, if original.
Copyright is an automatic right and does not require any formal form of registration to be applied to your work.
Copyright does not protect concepts or ideas affiliated with the work but just the work itself ie. the copyright on Lord of the Rings does not prohibit the re-use of plots or storylines relating to Hobbits/infinite power-bearing rings etc. but just the physical written work ie. the particular words in that particular order.
Copyright stops others from copying, adapting, distributing, renting or performing that particular work without prior permission from the author.
For most articles, Copyright lasts until 70 years after the death of the author.
For films, Copyright lasts until 70 years after the death of the last surviving director, author of film script or composer of the music specially created for the film.
Generally speaking, material created in the UK will also be protected overseas, due to the UK's membership of several international conventions.
To enforce Copyright it is important to put the © symbol on any material you wish to protect.

Villa Else is set in the wilds of Søllerød Nature Reserve on the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark, which means that it's really more garden than untrammeled outerlands. But still. The cottage, owned by Henriette Willerup and Anton Greiffenberg, is the perfect size for escape and is impeccably styled by Katrine Martensen-Larsen.

Weekend Cabin isn't necessarily about the weekend, or cabins. It's about the longing for a sense of place, for shelter set in a landscape…for something that speaks to refuge and distance from the everyday. Nostalgic and wistful, it's about how people create structure in ways to consider the earth and sky and their place in them. It's not concerned with ownership or real estate, but what people build to fulfill their dreams of escape. The very time-shortened notion of "weekend" reminds that it's a temporary respite.

Tips welcome in Snow murder investigation
Charleston police continue to work with Crimestoppers in the Robert Snow murder investigation. Snow's body was found in the Elk River three days after he went missing in late May. Police say his hands and feet were bound together. Other than that, there have been very few details offered about the case, and few leads. Anyone with information should call the Crimestoppers 24-hour tip line, and you can remain anonymous. You can also call Charleston Police. Snow was a district manager for 7-11 stores, and Prima Marketing company officials have put together a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

Thank you to our sponsors!
About our guest artist, John Doe
John Doe was "born" in 1977 when he arrived in Los Angeles. His previous life in Tennessee, Wisconsin & Baltimore was a great & fertile time but new music and social changes led him to events that created a life in art. He graduated from Antioch College in Baltimore in 1975, worked as a roofer, aluminum siding mechanic, and ran a poetry reading series. Ms. Meyers was his landlord in the rural black community of Simpsonville , MD.
John met Exene Cervenka at the Venice poetry workshop Nov 1976 and he started working with Billy Zoom around the same time. When DJ Bonebrake joined X in mid-1977 the line up was complete. They released six studio records, five or six singles and one live record from 1978-1993. Five of X's records have been re-issued along with two compilations. The Unheard Music documents their lives and progress as a band from 1980-83. In 2009 the film was included in the Sundance UCLA Archive of greatest films of all time. They appeared several times on American Bandstand, Solid Gold and David Letterman. As one of the last original punk rock bands standing, they continue to tour. The day that X played a free noontime concert in Fullerton, CA, they caused Orange County's greatest high school truancy rate to date.
In 1988 John started a family and lived in the Tehachapi Mountains, near the "Grapevine" of Highway 5, which separates southern and central California. He has recorded 8 solo records w/ numerous renowned singers and players, more recently including Patty Griffin, Dan Auerbach, Aimee Mann, Don Was, Kathleen Edwards and Greg Liesz. He has appeared in over 50 films and television productions, with some of his most notable roles in Road House, Georgia, Roadside Prophets, Great Balls of Fire, Pure Country and Roswell. He continues to act these days but more sporadically as his touring schedule has become more demanding.
Other musical side projects include work with the Knitters, Jill Sobule and The Sadies. He continues to write poetry and has even taught workshops from time to time. He currently lives north of San Francisco, California.

So comfortable
By Sara

These are my new favorite pants. Can't believe I can wear something so comfortable to the office! They do stretch out a bit during the day, so I might get a smaller size next time. Also, it's really hot here right now, and these would be great to wear out and about.

The Somaliland regional government announced a measles outbreak in the Marodi Jeh region on Sunday (January 13th).
Fifty-two measles cases were documented last week, Director of Public Health in the Ministry of Health Ali Sheikh Omer said.
Some of the infected patients have been admitted to Hargeisa General Hospital for treatment. "Eleven of them were transferred from regions outside Hargeisa, and the infected patients are of varying ages," Omer told Sabahi.
The Ministry of Health is trying to prevent the outbreak from spreading to other parts of the region as the rainy season begins, said Somaliland Deputy Minister of Health Nim'o Hussein Ghawdan.
The ministry sent 12 mobile medical teams to rural areas in Marodi Jeh on Sunday on a mission to vaccinate children aged six months to 15 years, Omer said. They also sent 11 teams to Hargeisa, where the vaccine is being offered at clinics for mothers and children.
In the past few years, there have been several outbreaks of the disease in Somaliland region, with several deaths linked to the disease in Togdheer in July 2012. The ministry will begin a measles vaccination campaign in mid-2013, Omer said.

Not at present, senor; that was formerly, when there used to be many loose fellows about the fortress; but theyve all been weeded out.

The man who murdered the muleteer was hanged in the fortress. Our path continued up the barranco, with a bold, rugged height to our left, called the Silla del Moro, or Chair of the Moor, from the tradition already alluded to, that the unfortunate Boabdil fled thither during a popular insurrection, and remained all day seated on the rocky summit, looking mournfully down on his factious city.

Gonzaga gets its groove back in an unlikely locale
The 2008-09 team was hailed in the preseason as potentially the best Gonzaga assemblage ever. It was ranked in the Top 5 in the nation in some preseason publications and, once the season started, climbed to as high as No. 4 in the polls.
But with the three-game losing streak, former UCLA coach and ESPN commentator Steve Lavin – during the Michigan State-Ohio State game Tuesday night – tagged the Zags as among the season's biggest disappointments.
"It's not the most talented team we've ever had at Gonzaga," Few said on Monday. "We do have depth and good players, but unless we're working together and helping each other out, we don't have the kind of team that can win on talent alone."
Few expressed concern about the quick transition his team must now make to the WCC opener against an improved Portland.
But whatever the outcome had been in Knoxville, it would have been hard for veteran WCC watchers to conceive of the Zags not continuing their dominance of the league.
Gonzaga has won the WCC regular-season championship outright the last six years in a row and has won or shared the title 10 of the last 11. The only aberration in the streak was 2000, when Pepperdine prevailed.
"I think, if you look at talent alone, they still have the best in the league," said Bill Grier, the former Zags assistant who's now head coach at USD. "And they're still the champions. They have that going for them until somebody proves otherwise."
Gonzaga was the preseason choice in a vote of league head coaches to win again. The Zags received five first-place votes, Saint Mary's two and USD one (rules precluded coaches from voting for their own teams.)
The rest of the coaches' preseason order: Santa Clara, San Francisco, Portland, Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine. As the pre-conference season ends, that looks like a pretty good list from which to work.
Saint Mary's is 13-1. The Gaels' preconference strength of schedule was 133rd among the more than 300 Division I schools, suitable for purposes of building team confidence likely higher than Gonzaga's before Wednesday night.
Coach Randy Bennett and the Gaels have complete confidence in sophomore point guard Patrick Mills, internationally renowned for his play on the Australian Olympic team.
USD (8-7) had a preconference strength of schedule rating of 56 and a nonleague season with much more drama than Grier would have preferred.
Suspensions for violations of team rules cost three players a combined total of 18 games, and injuries sidelined De'Jon Jackson for eight games and returning All-WCC guard Brandon Johnson for the season.
While Johnson's loss is a major blow, the return from suspension of sophomore point guard Trumaine Johnson and Jackson's approaching recovery give the Toreros four of their five returning starters from last year's WCC Tournament championship team. That team upset Connecticut in the opening round of the NCAA playoffs.
Wins at Mississippi State and at home over Marshall in the Toreros' last two games suggest a possible smoothing of the rough spots just in time for WCC play.

mobile hotspot issue solved download tether widget
I picked up the optimus s yesterday and I kept getting the network error as well when trying to enable hotspot. Come to find out all you need to do is download a wifi tether widget to turn it on and then it will activate it. The widget I downloaded is called share switcher. Sprint will not charge $30 for the mobile hotspot since that only applies to 4G phones.... awsome phone!

DO video security cameras reduce crime? With over 200 000 cameras installed in Britain, on buildings and in networks around a growing number of shopping centres, the popular feeling is that they must do. Letters published in this issue and last week show that the Home Secretary and the Minister of State for the Scottish Office are passionate believers in the efficacy of city centre surveillance systems.
But analyses of the impact of security cameras on crime released in the past few weeks suggest there is no simple answers. Security camera networks certainly reduce some types of crime, including theft from cars and burglaries. That is what you might expect. Breaking into a car or a shop requires a degree of premeditation and a tool kit. Thieves will not choose spots where security cameras might zoom in on them.
Assaults and public order offences are little affected by the presence ...

The Israel Defense Forces is stronger than ever, President Shimon Peres told bereaved families at Israel's Memorial Day ceremony in the Old City of Jerusalem on Tuesday night.
During his speech, which took place immediately after the Israeli flag was lowered to half-mast, Peres said that, while Israel has paid a heavy price for its existence, it is yet to stabilize peace.
Standing before the Western Wall, the president opened his speech with words of empathy for bereaved families. He went on to acknowledge that no words could heal the pain of losing a loved one. "We can collect words from morning to night," said Peres, "To search the entire lexicon. To consult experts. To try every expression. Every sentence. Every single word. And I know, it has not yet been found and will not be found: a word capable of healing sorrow. The sentence that has the power to console. There is no such sentence. There never was. And there never will be."

Which 'Game of Thrones' Character is Being Recast?
by Chris Pursell | September 2, 2013 at 9:14 PM | Game of Thrones, TV News
Season four of HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones" will see one returning character donning a new face.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that "Nashville" star Michiel Huisman has been signed to take on the tole of Daario Naharis next season.

Kano — The free maternal and children below 0-5 medical services provided by the Kano state government is being threatened by shortage of qualified health workers especially in the rural areas.
A survey conducted by Partnership for the Promotion of Maternal and Child Health (PPCMH), a Nongovernmental organisation out to assist women to have safe delivery has revealed.
Presenting the survey findings at a one-day retreat, the chairperson of the organisation Hajiya Hafsat Kolo said the survey was undertaken in September 2012 across nine health facilities in Gwarzo, Bebeji, Wudil, Ungogo, Danbatta, Gaya, Gezawa, Fagge and Minjibir.
She added that the survey was carried out to access the level of success and challenges of the programme with a view to provide a solution.
According to her the findings revealed that the workers are over laboured as a result of shortage of man power, drugs and other equipments.
"In the survey we found that the facilities can't afford the services as much as they would have loved to because patients are more than the workers or the drugs supply.
So when people go to a facility like the maternity or emergency unit or services to get free drugs it is not available because the people are many," Kolo decried.
"Apart from lack of medical and health personnel for both maternal, antenatal and child care units in all the facilities and the non-availability of doctors in most of the facilities, we also discovered that there is no furnished and up to standard accommodation for doctors and other health personnel especially in the rural areas which is why they can't stay in such areas, and this affect the services they give," she added.

Seasonable cool today, then colder over the weekend
Lots of sunshine and less wind equal a pleasant winter day.
Today: Sun with Added PM Clouds, Seasonable
Highs: Near 50° | Wind: S 5-10
Overnight: Partly Cloudy Cool
Lows: 29°-35° | Wind: NW 4-8
Tomorrow: Mostly Sunny, Brisk (Below Average)
Highs: 41°-45° | Wind: NW 10-15
High pressure remains in control of our weather on this Friday allowing for plenty of sunshine and seasonable daytime highs in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees this afternoon. A dry cold front will push through the region today producing added clouds and a wind shift to the northwest. In the wake of this front daytime highs over the weekend and into Monday will run below average in the low 40s despite ample amounts of sunshine. Overnight lows will be rather chilly as well in the 20s to around 30s degrees. High pressure remains in control through the middle of next week with the next chance of rain arriving by Thursday.

A few weeks ago I wrote about how I hired a professional resume writer to help me update my outmoded resume. I wanted a first-rate document to use as I pursue more coaching partnerships and new associations.
Getting the information to the writer that she needed to create a killer resume was not easy for me. You may recall me whining quite a bit about this in my post.
But now that I have my new top-quality resume in hand, I feel somewhat like a proud mother with my newborn baby. Sure, it took some work on my part to get this kid out, but who cares about that now!
There's no way on earth that I could have crafted a resume as effective as my new one. This is crystal clear to me now. I could no more have written this resume than have built my own house or have landed a plane at the airport. This is because good resume writing is a specialized skill that takes training, experience, a particular knowledge of recruiting and marketing, and plain ol' talent to do well.
I can write, and I've seen about one bazillion resumes in my career, neither of which means I can create a top-notch resume. Especially my own top-notch resume.
So before I get to the glowing report on who I hired for the job, here are my top 3 reasons why you should hand over the resume writing to a professional:
1. Your resume is a crucial marketing document that is your ticket into future opportunities. It is not a list of all your past jobs and job duties. It needs to attract the audience you want and highlight what that audience wants to see. It needs to create excitement and differentiate itself from the others in the big pile within seconds. Do you know exactly what this means for you? Is this really your expertise?
2. Writing your own resume can be like cutting your own hair, giving yourself advice, or, yes I know this is a bit extreme, setting your own leg after you've broken it. In other words, having an outside professional's perspective on the job can make all the difference in how well that job is performed.
Many of us suffer from "accomplishment amnesia". We completely forget all the great things we've done very soon after we do them. The negatives compel our focus much more. Also we tend to discount as "no big deal" accomplishments that are in fact noteworthy. A professional resume writer understands what you should be bragging about better than you do and has no hesitation about horn tooting.
3. Remember the last time you wrote your resume and how excruciating (or at the very least tedious) that was? Imagine the feeling you'd have reading your new resume that just "magically" arrived in your in-box. The resume someone else worded perfectly and made look all pretty. I'm telling you it's like coming home after someone else cleaned your house only better, because for one thing you know your resume is not going to be messy again in 15 minutes. It's soooo worth it!
"Sign me up!" you say. "Where can I get all this resume goodness?"
Head on over to Blue Sky Resumes, where co-founder Louise Fletcher and her associates will take very good care of you.
They're professional, they're thorough, they're fairly priced and they're very, very skilled. Louise writes a great blog that you should check out, too.
So ends my (unpaid, really!) ringing endorsement of a professional resume writing service that I was most pleased with!

Metro Pulse City Council Election Guide: District 2
We see what the candidates have to say about local issues (combined and condensed version)
On Wednesday, Sept. 2 early voting began for this year's City Council district primaries; 14 candidates are competing for the nominations in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th Districts. Our Sept. 10 print edition features (edited) interviews with the three candidates from District 2. In our Sept 17 issue, leading up to election day on Sept. 22, we will be running the District 6 Q&As. (Since District 4 and 1 candidates are going straight to the general election, we'll be posting those only online.)
Read the full candidate interviews at our complete 2009 Knoxville City Council Election Guide.
District 2 Candidates:
Tierney Bates, 32, works in the Development Office for the University of Tennessee's College of Engineering. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Bates has a bachelor's degree in mass media communications and a master's in higher education administration from the University of Akron. He has lived in District 2 since he moved to Knoxville four years ago.
Duane Grieve, 63, is the founder and principal of Grieve Associates Architects. He was a part of the first graduating class in UT school of architecture in 1969 and has worked as the president of the local, state and regional chapters of the American Institute of Architects, as well as the treasurer of the national AIA. A specialist in historic preservation, Grieve was the chief planner in the restoration of the Miller's Building on Gay Street. He is the president of Scenic Knoxville and has worked on a number of municipal and neighborhood boards and task forces. Raised in Norris, he has lived in Knoxville for 36 years, all in District 2. He is married with three children and a grandson. Grieve was encouraged to run by District 2 Councilwoman Barbara Pelot, who pledged her support for him when he made his announcement.
Ken Knight, 49, is the general manager of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. He has been in the hotel business for 25 years. Originally from Sioux City, Iowa, he's been living in the Knoxville area since 1993 and has been living in West Hills for the past two years. He ran and narrowly lost against current District 2 Councilwoman Barbara Pelot in 2005.
On July 14, the city passed an ordinance making it illegal to sit or lay on public sidewalks downtown. One month before that, Judge Stephen Bushong in Oregon ruled that a similar Portland law was unconstitutional. He based his ruling on Oregon state law, but he also told the city's attorneys that enforcement of the law could very well be challenged as a first amendment violation. Similarly, the lawyer arguing against the ordinance and citizens seeking its removal said that it was discriminatory, since it was specifically designed to target the city's homeless population. If you are elected, will you support any action to repeal this ordinance in Knoxville?
Bates: I would definitely support a repeal. One of the reasons why is we're talking about city sidewalks. This is just putting a Band-Aid over a bigger problem. I firmly believe we need to stand up as a community, get more buy-in, more communication to all residents how this affects us, how this affects the community as a whole. I think that's the thing that's lost here. I think going after these people punitively is handling it all wrong. We need to be able to communicate.
Grieve: Before I can say whether I'd vote to repeal, I'd like to find out why we're doing this. To me there is a problem when you go down Broadway and you have people sleeping on sidewalks and blocking sidewalks. Now, there are two things to this. I have a business on Emory Place, and I have people who want to come into my building. They shouldn't be blocked by someone sprawled across the sidewalk. There ought to be some way to take care of that problem. But I think it's much bigger than just, "Well, I'm going to give you a $50 fine for sleeping out front." We all know probably the person doesn't have $50 to pay, or they wouldn't be sleeping outside. We have to look into this problem and determine why and who and what does it affect. How can we solve the real problem of people sleeping on the streets, sleeping on the sidewalks. I don't think it's a light kind of answer until you understand the parties involved in it. I know I'm sort of going around the bush here, but that it is why it's not so simple to say yes or know.
Knight: I'd have a very difficult time supporting anything to repeal it. My first thought when that whole issue came up was, well, what about the rights of those people? But then I thought, what about the rights of the rest of the people who have a right to be able to walk down a sidewalk without having to go out into the street to get around the people who are lying there? What about the rights of the people who own a business who have a right to have their customers enter and exit a business without stepping over people or being afraid?
I don't see it as a discriminatory issue against the homeless. I see it more as just a right for people to have a right to use the sidewalks. The sidewalks are there for people to move on, not sleep on.
Converting South Knoxville's Flenniken Elementary School into a supportive housing facility has been a controversial project since its inception. In the candidates' forum on August 27, many candidates said we ought to, so to speak, "spread the burden" of supportive housing throughout the city rather than concentrating it in a few core areas. Do you have any ideas as to places where we could put more supportive housing? What happens when its neighbors almost inevitably have the same concerns? Does the need for this type of housing and the fact that the Fair Housing Act does not seem to permit the city to deny this type of housing simply based on these types of objections outweigh business and political interest here?
Bates: One of the areas I would think of, being in District 2, is around where we're building the Brookview community out there by Bearden Hill. That area right there would give people access to transportation. It's close to jobs in that community. When you go out east, maybe something toward Asheville Highway. There's an opportunity for jobs out that way, transportation.
I think people in the neighborhoods are going to react the way they did to Flenniken. If this started coming out West into my district, there'll be some pretty strong opposition, too. The key here is communication, overcoming stereotypes about homelessness. Now, a lot of chronically homeless people are mentally disturbed or may have a drug problem. But if you've ever seen people have an opportunity to come up from that, and all they needed was a hand up, not a handout, they become contributing citizens.
Grieve: You want to look at the whole city. You don't just go to South Knoxville and say, "Well here's Flenniken School, an empty building that we can use for housing. So we're going to go after that." I think it should be spread out. You need to have a master plan that says where we're going to put the housing.
Still, sometimes you have an issue, and you try to be as open and transparent as possible, and we try to bring all the parties together. You're not going to. You're still going to have core groups that are going to be opposed to whatever it is, but all you can do is go through the Democratic process.
You've got enough apartment complexes throughout the city. For instance, I just now thought of this, but in the 2nd District you have a lot of apartment complexes. I daresay that if you took, say, 20 units out of a 100-unit subsidized housing complex and make that a piece of transitional housing you probably wouldn't see the difference. You already have the apartment complex where you can just meld that into it.
Now, in this type of process, we do have to be very careful about the implications of the Fair Housing Act. From what I understand from the city's law department, we do have to be very careful so we don't open up the possibility of a lawsuit.
Knight: I don't have any ideas for specific locations. I think it's important that we spread these permanent supportive housing locations everywhere in the city. My concern with the South Knoxville issue is that's a very, very fragile neighborhood. I went to a meeting just this Monday night with homeowners there who were opposed to it. We need to make sure we're not forcing this down people's throats. I can almost guarantee you the people in that neighborhood are not going to be supportive of the people who end up living there. So that makes its likelihood of success far less. But I think you need to keep them in areas that are far more densely populated than that neighborhood so, regardless of the people that we're putting there, they're more easily absorbed into the fabric of the neighborhood.
I think most people's initial reaction is to be against it regardless. We need to do a better job on the front end, educating them, talking them about facts and figures and statistics and exactly the safeguards that are there for the individuals who'll be living there as well as the individuals who are going to be living around them. If we do that, there might not be that immediate fear on the front end to keep them from supporting it on the back end. [In reference to the FHA] I think we have to worry about what's best for Knoxville, and worry less about what's being mandated to us by someone a long way from here who knows absolutely nothing about us or our people or our city.
You'll be coming in to an iffy real estate market if you're elected. Foreclosures continue to be high in the area and around the country, and recently, City Council lowered the property tax rate from $2.81 to $2.46 so as to be in accordance with state tax equalization law. On top of that, a lot of people continue to be unemployed or at least a bit more careful with money, leading to decreases in sales tax revenues. All of this seems to spell potential revenue issues in the future. Given all that, are local incentives, particularly for higher-end projects, a wise idea right now, especially considering the recent foreclosure of a partly TIF-financed project like Cityview at Riverwalk?
Bates: One of the things I'm not sure has been mentioned enough is we have an opportunity to encourage the University of Tennessee to build over there. Build condos, build housing for students, things like that. I think that would offset more of the city's costs, and it would get people engaged in that area. If we look at benchmarks set by schools and cities working at this—I'll give you an example of where I'm from—Ohio State in Columbus. They built a whole new area designed around not only quality of life for students but for faculty and staff. I know that if the University of Tennessee were offering housing in that beautiful South Waterfront area right across the bridge, that's a unique opportunity. There's a lot more we need to fit into our discussion. More university involvement should probably be a part of it.
Grieve: Let's take a condo project as an example. There are those developers who are using these right, and those who are not. If a project is such that an investment from the city is going to increase the investment on a piece of property to where the taxes will go up, and depending on whether we go with a PILOT or a TIF, we have to look at these projects individually.
I think to say, I'm not going to do PILOTs and I'm not going to do TIFs is a bit shortsighted. We have to ask, does it fall within the realm? I think that sometimes these things stretch the rules. Sometimes we have a certain district where these things are allowed. Now, all of a sudden, there's another project that falls outside of it, so we increase the district. I think we have to be careful about that.
Knight: I still think that there's a place for them in specific instances and in specific locations. Using downtown as an example, I think that in the beginning when downtown was very depressed, they were a real catalyst in making some things possible and getting downtown to where it is today. Now downtown can kind of stand on its own two feet and they're less of a necessity, and maybe they're being used or requested by some developers to take the risk out of a project. The risk should be with the developer not with the taxpayers of Knoxville because if it does very well the developer gets all the good stuff, so it's not fair for the taxpayers to shoulder that burden.
Give us a for instance: What would have to be on the chopping block in order for you to support a tax increase in a budget?
Bates: We'd have to look at city services, and how we can be more green, more energy-efficient, before we talk about tax increases. That's one thing I'm talking about a lot—going green in terms of energy use, expanded recycling—and it's something that could potentially reduce our costs. I think we really ought to be a leader when it comes to that, especially having a major university like UT in our backyard.
Grieve: You have to understand what the priorities of a city budget are. You need to have police. You need to have fire protection and all the safety measures that go along with those. We need to have good services for our people. I would talk to my neighborhood groups and find out what their priorities are.
Now, back to priorities. Nobody wants their police cut. Nobody wants their fire budget cut. Police want more. Firemen want more. Now beyond that, I think we may have to face some tough decisions. But remember, our debts are good. We have a rainy day fund that's doing well. The taxes are lower, but remember the taxes are lower because the value of these properties went up. What would I cut? I don't know.
Knight: I would say it would have to be basic services of safety. I don't think we want to cut the size of our police force. I don't think we want to cut the size of our fire department. We have to pick up the trash. Those are probably the three best examples of things that have to happen. We can't let the city fall into disrepair or the streets not to be safe or those types of things.
What about non-essential services and budget items like, say, parks or the city's nonprofit grants? Are those ever worth a tax increase?
Bates: I'm a taxpayer, and I don't want to pay any more taxes. To say we'd have to increase taxes, I'd have to see what I'm getting for it. What is my return on my taxes? Without a specific situation where I could see and I could demonstrate to people what we get in return, I wouldn't want to say.
Grieve: If we can save several hundred thousand dollars by having groups take care of their parks and greenways, that would be a great way to cut that budget.
When it comes to funding some of these nonprofit organizations, I think we have to ask ourselves, is this really the responsibility of government? Or is that the responsibility of the private sector? I pay taxes and you pay taxes. You may not want your portion of these taxes to go to the symphony. You may want it to go to greenway programs. Maybe what we have to do in a tough, tough year is cut those, and say to the private sector, "Folks, you're going to have to step up." We might have to get lean and mean.
Knight: I would not raise taxes to cover grants for nonprofits.
Is the city's plan for a HOPE VI replacement for the Walter P. Taylor homes a good one? Is it a priority for you to maintain the same level of KCDC housing units as we have now?
Bates: It's a good idea. We've seen it with Mechanicsville. At first, a lot of people were worried or discouraged about it, that it was going to displace a lot of people, and that didn't happen. And I don't think it will here. I think that's a great opportunity to jump-start that neighborhood. I think there are going to be more developers, more realtors wanting to go into that part of town if they see new, nice housing.
But yes, I think it's important that when we build these new housing developments, we try to maintain the same amount of housing units.
Grieve: I think one of the questions I would have is how much federal money is going into it, as opposed to local money. I think any time we can upgrade any of our facilities, we should do that. The density of people there and this sort of thing, I don't know enough about it to give you a good answer. That is one thing I have not looked into in terms of what we do and what we don't have.
Knight: The HOPE VI project is a good project. The type of project that they're talking about works much better than the old way of doing things. So, I think if the money is available, that's a good project for the city. I'll be honest I've never thought about keeping the level of housing the same. I think that everything that KCDC has is being utilized, so I we probably need to do everything we can to keep it at at least that level. I wouldn't want to do anything that would people out on the streets.
Is the Magnolia Avenue Corridor plan a positive sign that the city is putting its attentions toward an area that has arguably been politically neglected? What else, if anything, should the city, as a public entity, be doing beyond Magnolia to improve infrastructure, the economy, or simply the standard of living in this part of town?
Bates: Well, come on, we know it's been neglected. The timing is right for the city, if we're going to grow the city, to grow in all directions. East Knoxville is a hidden gem. There's a lot of history. East Knoxville, Holston Hills in particular, used to be one of the really premiere parts of the city. We have to get a lot more buy-ins, make sure when we market this city, we market the whole city, not just West Knoxville. I live in District 2, West Knoxville. When I first moved here, not a soul told me about anything else other than West Knoxville. We cannot just concentrate on one part of the city.
Grieve: We've got a real vibrant, exciting downtown that's growing. And, all of a sudden, things are starting to happen—whether it's South, whether it's Cumberland Avenue, whether it's Broadway or Central. Things are really starting to happen on those corridors.
We have several smaller businesses out there where the proprietors are fixing up older buildings. That begins to happen, then some of what I call these disenfranchised neighborhoods, we can start to place some extra emphasis on these neighborhoods. You go out to the park there, and then you come back this way [downtown], there are some voids there that can be looked at, can be worked on. Should the city help? Absolutely.
So yes, we need to figure a way that we can subsidize the infrastructure in these areas, but, again, the pie is only so big.
Knight: It's important that the city spreads its dollars throughout the community. No community should be left behind. Yes, I like the Magnolia Avenue plan. At this point, there has just recently been started a Magnolia Avenue Business and Professional Association that had their inaugural meeting a few weeks ago that I attended. I don't know if that organization would have been formed were it not for the city's plans to improve things on Magnolia Avenue. I think that adds some life to that business community and brings them together for a common cause to improve things because the city can't do it all. Each of those individual business owners has to do his or her part.
Planned Parenthood recently backed out of a move to move to a facility in Bearden following a large and well-organized movement protesting its move there. Now, before I get to the question, let me present two givens so they will not have to be included in your answer. (1) People have every right to protest Planned Parenthood if they feel that what they do is wrong. (2) What Planned Parenthood does is perfectly legal. So should city government have taken a greater role in perhaps mediating this dispute?
Bates: I think the city should have stepped in more than they did. One thing I've thought about, though, is why not put a service like that downtown? Why not have certain things we're putting in certain parts of the city, we could have them downtown. Planned Parenthood is one of them. I think this did present a unique opportunity for the city to step in and maybe help Planned Parenthood find a location downtown.
Grieve: Now, you had a situation here where Planned Parenthood found a space they wanted to move into. They had a legal right to move there. There were no code problems, no zoning issues. So, what involvement should the city have? Only if they were asked to be involved. I don't want the city involved in my business. I think you have to be really careful with where you get involved and where you don't get involved. That is a situation where the city should be even more careful because you're dealing with a highly emotional issue.
To me I can see both sides. We need to allow people to express their opinions. We also need the services Planned Parenthood provides for those people who want those services. It should be legal. It should be above-board. It should be able to happen. I think the city can only do so much in this type of situation.
Knight: I'm not sure what role the city could have played in that. I'm not sure why the folks in Bearden would be opposed to that facility being there. I think that's an issue where the sides are so far apart, and they've been far apart on it for a long time, and they're going to be far apart on it long after me and you are long gone. So I don't know how you mediate that. I don't know what role the city could have played in that. They don't really have any authority to do anything. I don't know if that's something the city should be involved in.
An attendee at the August 27 forum expressed some concern that, as she sees it, City Council is too often a "rubber stamp" for mayoral policy. It was a comment that really seemed to resonate with the audience. In your opinion, have what some have categorized as an overly friendly media environment when it comes to the mayor, as well as his family's deep and significant connections, and now his gubernatorial campaign, produced a situation where it is politically difficult for City Council to go against mayoral policy? In other words, is it at all possible that the mayor's too popular for our own good? [Note re: Mayor Haslam's gubernatorial campaign. For whatever it's worth, Duane Grieve and Ken Knight are both contributors to the Haslam for Governor campaign. According to Haslam's most recent campaign finance filing with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance, Grieve has contributed $250 and Knight has contributed $1,000.]
Bates: I'll say this. What the mayor has done is something we've needed, which was to bring some visionary leadership and management to the city. There's not much more we can say. He's only got two more years here, maybe less depending on the gubernatorial election.
This Council, which will only have one or two years to work with him, will have to concentrate on how to carry that torch but also be our own independent thinkers. Now, I got into this race without anyone trying to recruit me to run, like one of my opponents. I think independently. I not only think independently, but I think about my district's residents as individuals and, of course, as constituents who vote.
Grieve: No, I don't. I think number one, the mayor's done a good job. Number two, if you really think about it, we're really fortunate to have someone of his stature and his means that has decided to go into politics. I also think it's fortunate to have a businessperson in that position. Would I go against the mayor? Absolutely. I have no problems with that. It doesn't matter if it's you or whether it's Bill Haslam. And if Bill were sitting here, he would know that. I don't think that because he's a Haslam, that that has anything to do with how I feel about an issue. I know the Haslams, and I think they've done a lot for the city. But I think how I feel about a situation will depend on how my constituents feel about that situation and how the residents of the city feel about it.
Knight: I have no idea. I think the current mayor is a good man and has, overall, done a good job. As far as to whether there's pressure to vote his way, I think that can best be answered by the nine people who are currently on Council. From my own perspective, if I'm elected, I have to live with each and every vote. So, I'm going to make the vote that is the right vote for the people I represent.
I didn't really understand the purpose of the question at that forum. To me that's a way of being critical of the administration without actually being critical. It's being critical of the administration by asking 14 people who have nothing to do with it. It's kind of a back-handed slap in the face.
Have you seen the Hillside-Ridgetop Task Force's preliminary recommendations? Would you be in support of policies that, in the interest of the long-term benefits of environmental stewardship, might limit a property developer's ability to "maximize" a hill or ridge property?
Bates: Yeah, I think so because when we think about what's important to us as a city, development has to be closely watched. I'm also a fan of impact fees. If you're going to disturb the environment, develop on hillsides, I think we have to think about impact fees. If you're building in my community, you are impacting my community. And we should do what we can to make sure that it isn't negative. There are things that are more important than the bottom line.
Grieve: We have got to be able to come up with a balance between property rights and what is good for the city. There's no difference between what they're trying to do, and what we already do inside the city. Say you have a vacant lot in the city that's going to be developed. They have to be set back a certain distance on each side. There's only a certain area they can build. It's got to be a certain height. There has to be a certain relationship between building and green space. So, all you're saying is, how do we develop? How do we go beyond what we already have?
Now I don't know a whole lot about [County Commissioner Greg] Lumpy's [Lambert] project, but if he's zoned agricultural, he can't put a high-rise apartment in there anyway. Now, where you get into trouble is in a situation in which current zoning ordinances would allow someone to build a 30-story building. Then what you need to do is appeal to his senses.
Knight: There needs to be another conversation at the same time. If we're going to take property that currently has the ability to produce property taxes off the table, then we have to have the conversation of, "We know you want to save the ridgetops? But at the same time, are you willing to do it if at some point we have to raise the tax rates to make up for the taxes we're not going to generate from that ridgetop."
I think far too often, we make decisions based on the argument, that, yes, this makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense to do that. We are fools to cut off the tops of mountains in our area. That is total neglect. Yes. But I think we need to understand the long-term consequences of doing that, and we need to have that discussion as part of the other discussion. People need to understand that in order to build up tax revenue and keep the tax rates low, we are going to need to have more density in the areas we are going to develop. That's just doing the math.

Wieters, Davis, Jones power Orioles past Rays
Manny Machado struck out before Jones hit an 0-2 pitch into the gap in left-center field to put Baltimore back on top. The left-handed hitting Davis homered on the first pitch after the intentional walk to Wieters.
NOTES: Rays senior adviser Don Zimmer, who's beginning his 65th season in pro baseball, was joined by his family for the ceremonial first pitch. The 82-year-old former Cubs and Red Sox manager is in his 10th season in the Tampa Bay organization. His son, Tom, a scout for the San Francisco Giants, delivered the pitch. ... It's the sixth time, including three of the past four years, that the Orioles and Rays have opened the season against each other. ... Baltimore 3B Manny Machado, 20, joined Brooks Robinson, Ron Hansen and Boog Powell as the only players to make opening day starts for the Orioles at age 20 or younger. Robinson did it twice, starting at age 19 in 1957 and at 20 the following year.

Wolf Hunt Petitions
MADISON, Wis. (AP) A group of humane societies has appealed a Dane County judge's ruling that wolf hunters can use dogs. The humane societies filed a lawsuit last year alleging the state Department of Natural Resources failed to impose any real restrictions on wolf hunters using dogs when the agency set up the framework for the wolf season. The societies argued the lack of regulations would create deadly wolf-dog brawls in the woods.
Judge Peter Anderson issued a double-sided decision this past January that hunters can't train dogs on wolves in Wisconsin but they can use them to track down wolves during the season.
The societies filed their notice of appeal on Friday.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 28, 2014
OxBlue has announced a total redesign of its mobile user interface as part of a larger redesign of its next-generation computer user interface. The new mobile interface gives both smartphone and tablet users faster, easier access to the functions they use most, with larger, more intuitive controls and full-screen, high-definition photos of their jobsites.
"As part of our next generation of construction camera interfaces, this new mobile interface enables us to offer users the same streamlined functionality across the total spectrum of access devices," said OxBlue President Chandler McCormack.
To summarize the new mobile interface, it's everything OxBlue clients like, only bigger and better than ever before.
The basic premise behind the redesign is that busy users don't want to just view their jobsites. They want to experience them. So, like the new computer interface, the new mobile interface offers larger, better jobsite photos and makes accessing them easier than ever, in most cases through one-touch function controls.
Some of the most important changes include:
The result is an altogether more intuitive mobile user experience with a clean, fresh look and feel.
Besides full-screen jobsite photos and greater overall ease of use, other redesigned features include:
"Our clients told us which features mean the most to them," said McCormack. "We studied how they use our construction cameras on the go and redesigned our mobile interface to give them the user experience they were asking for, even when they're out of the office."
The goal of both redesigns is to improve users' overall experience with their construction webcams, regardless of the devices they use to access them.
About OxBlue: OxBlue is a leading construction webcam service provider, with hardware, connectivity and expertise across 6 continents and all 50 states. OxBlue's construction camera services connect stakeholders on and off the jobsite by improving communication through high-resolution imaging and time-lapse videos. OxBlue serves clients in a variety of industries, including numerous Fortune 500 companies and more than 100 of ENR's Top 400 Contractors.
