Bummer and Lazarus were two stray dogs that roamed the streets of San Francisco, California, USA, in the early 1860s. Recognized for their unique bond and their prodigious rat-killing ability, they became a fixture of city newspapers, were exempted from local ordinances and immortalized in cartoons.
Bummer was a black-and-white Newfoundland or Newfoundland cross who established himself outside the saloon of Frederick Martin in 1860 and quickly proved to be an exceptional rat-killer. His ratting talent spared him the fate of the former owner of the territory, Bruno, who had been poisoned with strychnine shortly before Bummer's arrival. He scraped a living begging scraps from passers-by and the patrons of the saloon and other establishments along Montgomery Street.
In 1861 he was joined by another dog, after rescuing him from a fight with a larger dog. This dog was in a bad way, with a deep wound on his leg, and was not expected to live. Bummer coaxed him to eat, brought back scraps from his scavenging missions and huddled next to him to keep him warm during the night. The injured dog quickly recovered and within days was following Bummer as he made his begging rounds in the streets. His remarkable recovery earned him the name Lazarus, and he proved to be an even more prodigious ratter than Bummer. As a team they turned out to be exceptional, once finishing off 85 rats in 20 minutes.
Their ratting talent and unique bond was seized upon by the city's press. Martin's saloon was a favorite haunt of newspapermen and journalists, so, with the dogs a fixture outside the bar, they never had to travel far for a story. The exploits of the dogs were recorded in detail in the Californian, Daily Alta California, Daily Morning Call and Daily Evening Bulletin, the editors vying with each other in their attempts to endow the pair's adventures with thrills and parallels to the human condition. Bummer was portrayed as the gentleman, down on his luck, yet still faithful and conscientious, while Lazarus, the mongrel, was cast in the role of the sly and self-serving fairweather friend. When Bummer was shot in the leg after only a couple of months, and Lazarus left him to run with another dog, it suited the press no end: Bummer was said to be feeling the sting of ingratitude at the desertion of the cur he had saved from death. Lazarus' return when Bummer recovered only added to the excitement.
The two dogs had the run of the streets, and when, on June 14 1862, Lazarus was taken by a new dog catcher, a mob of angry citizens demanded his release, petitioning to have the pair declared city property so they could wander the streets unmolested. The city supervisors released Lazarus and declared he and Bummer were exempt from the city ordinance against strays. A week later the two were reported to have stopped a runaway horse. Despite their reputations, the two could be vicious: Bummer was a sheep killer and regularly fought other dogs in the street occasionally assisted by Lazarus (although normally Lazarus would restrict himself to barking encouragement). They also ransacked shops when they had entered unnoticed and been locked in by the owners.
Lazarus was killed in October 1863. In San Francisco Kaleidoscope, Dickson claimed he was kicked by the horse of one of the city's fire engines, but contemporary accounts say he was poisoned by being given meat laced with "ratbane" after biting a boy. San Franciscans put up a $50 reward for the capture of the poisoner. A wit suggested that he be buried in a place of honor alongside other great men of the city. Jump produced a cartoon of his "Funeral" with Norton as the Pope performing the ceremony and Freddy Coombs, another San Francisco eccentric who claimed to be the reincarnation of George Washington, digging the grave. Notable San Franciscans formed the cortege and Bummer looked on mournfully. This may have led to the rumor that large numbers of San Franciscans turned out for Lazarus' funeral. The dog was not buried though, but stuffed by a taxidermist and displayed behind the bar in Martin's saloon. (According to Dickson, Martin paid the taxidermist $50 to turn the dog over — even though its remains had already been claimed by the city council.) The Daily Evening Bulletin featured a long obituary entitled "Lament for Lazarus" in which they praised the virtues of both dogs and recounted their various adventures together.
Bummer continued alone, although Mark Twain reported a year later in the Daily Morning Call that he had taken a small black puppy under his wing. Nothing more was heard of the puppy and without his companion, Lazarus, Bummer was of less interest to the press. He died a lingering death in November 1865 after being kicked by a drunk, Henry Rippey. Bummer was still popular enough that, to avoid violence, the city immediately arrested Rippey, but he did not escape popular justice: on learning of his crime, his cellmate, David Popley, "popped him in the smeller".
Bummer's passing did not make the headlines in the same way that Lazarus' death had, but Jump created a new cartoon showing him lying in state while Lazarus tucked into a table of food in the ether above him and rats paid their respects. Mark Twain produced a eulogy for him in the Virginia City Enterprise which was reprinted in the Californian on 11 November 1865:
Bummer was also mounted by the taxidermist and placed on display. In 1906, both specimens were donated to the Golden Gate Park museum (now the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum) where they remained in storage until they were destroyed in 1910.
On 28 March 1992, a brass plaque commemorating the two dogs was placed at Transamerica Redwood Park, a small park adjacent to the base of the Transamerica Pyramid, the tallest skyscraper in San Francisco.

Needs to be a leather string....it's not however, but instead is a super cheap non-flexible and stiff plastic....not very comfortable and tacky looking.

text: Why Alexandra Chong built Luluvise, the ladies-only social network Alexandra Chong 08 March 12 by Madhumita Venkataramanan Dan Burn-Forti This article was taken from the April 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online."Facebook is really public, and we all accept that now," says Alexandra Chong (standing, above). "But women want a more intimate place for their private, girly conversations." Last December, Chong, 30, launched Luluvise -- a women-only social network. A month into its launch, the site, integrated with Facebook, claimed users from 160 countries, with an average age of 21 (Chong won't disclose the number of users).On Luluvise, women can create an "inner circle" of friends, share photos, texts and dating experiences, and tag chats with a "Love this!" or an "OMG!". A "WikiDate" feature allows users to rate men in a searchable database. Still, Chong says she is going to involve men in the experience by allowing them to invite their girlfriends and improve their ratings.It's a crowded space, but Chong has solid backers. Last July she raised $1m from Passion Capital, and PROfounders Capital investors Michael Birch and Brent Hoberman. And yes, she admits her gender helped in pitches -- but for the right reasons. "Obviously, Luluvise is a product for girls," explains Chong. "So the fact that I am a woman makes me a better person to say I know what girls want."It's hard to pigeonhole a quarter-Chinese, quarter-Jamaican, half-Canadian woman born in Jamaica, who in the 90s played tennis in the women-only Federation Cup. She went on to study law at the London School of Economics and ran marketing for Upstream, a mobile marketing company, "But I knew at 23 that I had the bones of an entrepreneur," she says. Her plan for 2012 is to grow her user base, rather than chase revenue. "This is a huge idea, so for now I'm focused on executing the hell out of it."Name: Alexandra Chong Occupation: Founder, Luluvise Location: London, UK Need to know: She's created a women-only space for social networking Edited by Dan Smith Comments We've posted what we found looking at the app and its actual functionality. We have an app distributed through Google and Apple that violates its own terms and conditions and sucks up and stores data about guys without their permission for long-term storage. It probably breaks privacy rules, discrimination laws, and accepted social contracts. It then guides their female-only user base through brutally honest evaluations that are public in one sense (other women, like the guy's boss, coworkers, mother, crazy ex's), but inaccessible to the person they are discussing. Their founder is misinformed about its functionality and brags about how it affects the egos of underage users. Tony Phelps Feb 11th 2013 Well don't worry they're coming out with one for guys to review girls now too. not that it makes things much better. look: Suprview.com Lizzy Mentil Mar 8th 2013 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

When an insect is changing inside its cocoon, and has turned to slush, is it alive? And if so, in what way is it alive?
In many metamorphosing insects, the majority of the cells in the body of the pupa do break down and turn to mush, but there are clusters of cells that remain intact. These cells feed on the mush, divide, and go on to develop the legs, eyes, wings, antennae and so on that we see in adult insects.
It is almost as though the mush is the yolk and the cluster of cells is the embryo of a new egg. In some rare cases, such as fungus gnats, this new embryo can split to form multiple "twin" adults from a single larva. This is called polyembryony.
Martin Harris, Australia
An insect undergoing metamorphosis is alive regardless of what state its body may be in. For one ...

Razertip's standard pyrography pens are the smallest, most versatile pens made. Our fixed-tip heavy-duty pyrography pens are a bit bigger, but they will take punishment like no other.

With a larger pen body than our standard pyrography pens, our heavy duty pyrography pens are built for maximum durability. They have heavier connector posts and heavier tips. Heavy duty pens require a higher heat setting than most standard pens and are best used with a heavy-duty cord.
While still capable of very fine detail, they are ideal for applications where the flat side of the tip is used (shading, quill-making, etc.) or in schools or clubs where inexperienced users can be hard on equipment.
BPH (binding-post interchangeable-tip) Pen
Our Binding-post Interchangeable-tip Pen is the most versatile pen available. Great for those who want to make their own tips or for those rarely used but still important tips. Every pyrographer should have one of these in their toolbox!

Dependable: Stainless-steel binding-post screws hold your tip wire securely against a double-slotted stainless-steel nut that is easily tightened with a small slot screwdriver.
Comfortable: The binding-post screws and nuts on this pen act as an effective heatsink, slowing the transfer of heat from the tip into the pen body. The BPH is one of the coolest operating pens made today.
- Laser-welded tips - Less stress in manufacturing means that the industry's longest lasting tips will now last even longer! Every tip is now laser-welded into every Razertip pen.
- Front Ventilation Ports - No hot air trapped inside. Less contact between tip posts and pen body for cooler operation. Ceramic front plug (Heavy duty pens) and polymer plug (standard pens)
- Mid-Body Ventilation Slots - That hot air has to go somewhere. Slots are strategically placed not to interfere with comfortable operation.
- Rear Ventilation Slots (Heavy duty only) - The heavy duty pen has additional ventilation at the very back of the pen for the coolest operation ever!
- Corrugated Front Pen Body - Beneath our comfortable foam grip lies our exclusive corrugated pen barrel, with more surface area for better cooling. Less direct contact between the pen body and the foam grip also means cooler operation.
- Comfortable Foam Grips - Keeps your fingers comfortable while allowing for superb control.

House, Senate Face Challenges in Reconciling Dueling Bills
The House bill, approved 251-178 yesterday, would repeal the Extraterritorial Income regime, which grants breaks to U.S. exporters. The World Trade Organization has ruled the regime an illegal subsidy and has allowed the European Union to retaliate by levying punitive tariffs on U.S. goods, the Wall Street Journal reported.
To compensate U.S. companies for the lost benefit and to nudge the economic recovery, the House bill reduces the top tax rate for manufacturers to 32% from the current 35% rate. Other breaks target multinationals and small businesses, all with the stated goal of creating jobs. The bill also includes a $10 billion buyout to tobacco farmers, the Journal reported.
The Senate's bill, passed last month, repeals the export tax break, but many obstacles stand between reconciliation of the two bills.
The House bill provides nearly $155 billion in benefits over 11 years; offsetting revenue increases reduce the net to $34 billion. The Senate bill provides about $170 billion in relief, all of which is offset by other provisions. The House bill is likely to be substantially modified in conference with the Senate, the Journal reported.
Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley (R-IA) has made it clear that no bill with a budget impact will get through his committee but House leaders are expected to reject any more revenue-raising tax and fee increases.
Not making it into the House bill was a Treasury Department request to force accounting firms to reveal the names of clients who bought tax shelters, the Journal reported, adding the provision was struck at the last minute.

•100 years ago - Nov., 1913•
Many come to boy's defense
Alfred Dodge, 18, the boy who shot and killed his step-father, Samuel Wiggins at Smith's Basin, Oct. 26, 1913, is being held in the County Jail to await the action of the Grand Jury on a charge of second-degree murder. The murder is a subject of much speculation among local citizens and many believe that the boy was justified when he fired the fatal shot.
From the testimony of the case, taken by Coroner W.H. Mellick, the murdered man had, during the early morning hours, roughly kicked his wife and stepson out of their beds. The dead man's brother, George Wiggins, swore that a short time before the murder, the heavily intoxicated man, who had been drinking whiskey, had knocked him to the ground and had made an attempt to hit him in the head with a pick-axe in a melee in the dooryard and the man's wife, also intoxicated, standing close to her husband, had tried to intervene and he beat her. It was then when Alfred Dodge, standing in the doorway of the house several feet away, fearing for his mother's life, fired the shot that blew off the top of Wiggins' head.
Many hours elapsed between the time the shot was fired and the time that the coroner was notified. (Note: Details of this once hotly-debated case may be found in this column in the Oct. 19, 2013 Adirondack Journal.)
Music Hall performer
Not particularly large, but exceedingly well pleased was the audience that enjoyed the delightful concert given by the Florence Lillian Frost Company at the Music Hall, Warrensburgh, on the night of Nov. 3, 1913.
Miss Frost, a fascinating young girl, is a violinist of exceptional ability. Her tone is sweet and powerful, tender and pleading or ringing and triumphant as she wills — and her interpretations clearly show the soul of a great artist. For one encore she played with exquisite tenderness that old time favorite, "Annie Laurie."

Facebook says needs to improve response to hate speech
Published on May 30, 2013 6:09 AM
NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Facebook Inc admitted its systems to remove hate speech haven't worked as well as the company had hoped, amid reports that advertisers were pulling their brands off the social network in the face of a backlash from women's groups.
In a blog post by its safety team late on Tuesday, the company acknowledged there had been problems with removing content that would be considered examples of gender-based hate.
"We have been working over the past several months to improve our systems to respond to reports of violations, but the guidelines used by these systems have failed to capture all the content that violates our standards. We need to do better - and we will," the company said in the post.
The British edition of MediaWeek reported on Wednesday that at least 13 brands pulled ads from Facebook in the wake of the campaign. The New York Times cited Japanese automaker Nissan as saying it had pulled all advertising off the social network until it received assurances that its ads would not appear alongside offensive content.

Guidry gamble fails in Little Caesars Pizza Bowl
DEC 27, 2012 12:00a ET
Wednesday, though, was far from normal.
Trailing 24-21 with 51 seconds left in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Guidry's Western Kentucky Hilltoppers were facing fourth-and-2 from the Central Michigan 19. The interim coach told his team to kick the ball and set up overtime.
They changed his mind.
"That was all about my players," Guidry said. "We had the field-goal unit lined up, but the players told me that they were here to win a bowl game, not play for overtime. I asked the offense what they wanted to do, and I asked the defense what they wanted to do. Everyone said they wanted to go for it."
In the movies, quarterback Kawaun Jakes would have thrown a touchdown pass, winning Western Kentucky's first bowl game, and ending both his and Guidry's careers with a spectacular finish.
Instead, Jakes threw into double coverage and tight end Jack Doyle couldn't repeat the circus catch he had made for an earlier touchdown. Central Michigan (7-6) took over on downs and ran out the clock to finish the 24-21 win at Detroit's Ford Field.
"I'd do the same thing every day, and twice on Sunday — these kids deserved to go for the win," said Guidry, who took over after the regular season when Willie Taggart accepted the South Florida job, and now gives way to Bobby Petrino. "They did a fantastic job hanging together during all this turmoil, and I wasn't going to stop them for taking that shot."
Despite Guidry's protestations, Jakes took the blame for the final play.
"I just missed the throw," he said. "The first read was covered, but Jack was there. If I get the ball in the right spot, he never has to try to make that diving catch."
Central Michigan coach Dan Enos, who got his first bowl victory, wasn't sure he would have made the same decision, but understood that Guidry was in a unique position.
"I don't know if I would have done that, but I'm never going to second-guess a coach who tries to win a game," he said. "Coach Guidry and a lot of his assistant coaches knew they were coaching their last game at Western Kentucky, and they did a great job of keeping their team prepared. They wanted to go for the win, and they almost got it."
The game wasn't one of the shootouts that has been a Detroit bowl tradition back to Chad Pennington's 80-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss in the first minute of the first Motor City Bowl, but the finish made up for it. The Chippewas though they had taken the lead on Zurlon Tipton's 1-yard fourth-down TD run with 9:21 to play, but a replay review overturned the decision, ruling his elbow had hit the ground a few inches from the goal line.
That's when Central Michigan's defense saved the day. They nearly stopped Hilltoppers star Antonio Andrews for a safety, then blocked Hendrix Brakefield's punt out of his own end zone. That gave the Chippewas the ball on the Western Kentucky 26.
"We knew we just needed to give the offense one last chance," said Central Michigan linebacker Shamari Benson. "Every player on our defense knew that our offense would get the job done if we gave them another chance."
Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff proved Benson right, hitting Cody Wilson for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 5:11 to play.
"I couldn't have scripted this any better than it really happened," said Wilson, another senior. "My last catch in my last college game was a touchdown to win a bowl game. How could it be any better than that?"
Wilson finished with 10 catches for 101 yards, filling the hole left when starting receivers Titus Davis and Courtney Williams were suspended for violating team rules. He wasn't alone, though. Freshman Andrew Flory, starting in place of Davis, caught touchdown passes of 69 and 29 yards in the first quarter to help Central Michigan take an early lead.
"I never thought I'd have a chance to score twice in the first quarter of my first bowl game," he said. "I got a chance because of what happened to those guys, and I was able to take advantage."
Flory didn't catch a pass after the first quarter, but the deep threat he presented forced Western Kentucky to change their defensive game plan.
"When he caught those two balls against us, we obviously had to make some adjustments," Guidry said. "That's when Tipton started to hurt us on the ground."
Tipton finished with 101 yards rushing, 18 fewer than Andrews. Western Kentucky's star finished with 184 all-purpose yards, leaving him 90 short of breaking Barry Sanders' single-season record of 3,250.
"I fell a little short this year," Andrews said. "I'm going to go for it again next year."
Guidry will be following his run at the record, no matter where he ends up coaching. He won't be joining Petrino's staff and doesn't expect to end up in South Florida with Taggeret, either.
"I'm going to go home, and spend some time with my family," he said. "My wife and kids didn't get to come to this game, because we had a death in the family, so I want to see them. After that, I'm off to the coaching convention to try to find a job."

Hallie Ford Museum of Art Opens Redesigned Permanent Gallery
A redesigned Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery, which houses the Hallie Ford Museum of Art's permanent collection of European, Asian and American art, will open March 5 after three months of renovations.
To celebrate the reopening, the museum will host a free family activity day, led by education curator Elizabeth Garrison, March 7 from noon to 4 p.m. in the lobby of the museum. Activities will include art projects based on pieces in the museum to help families explore the galleries.
The reconfigured Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery presents the collections in a historical sequence, beginning with ancient art and including sections on Christian art, Asian art and 19th and 20th century European and American art. The gallery features new walls and display cases, improved lighting, color schemes to differentiate regions and time periods, and a range of text panels and annotated labels to enhance the visitor's experience. In addition, a number of new gifts and purchases acquired in the past 10 years will be on display.
The collections in the gallery span 4,500 years and encompass four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. They were assembled over the years to support the liberal arts curriculum of Willamette and to introduce museum visitors to major themes and styles in Western and Eastern art history. Rather than attempting a comprehensive view, the collections consist of small, unassuming art treasures meant to be studied, savored and enjoyed.
Many of the objects on view were given by Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh. Professor Sponenburgh is a sculptor and art historian who, with his late wife Janeth, traveled throughout Europe and Asia and amassed a collection of Western and Eastern art that they gave to Willamette in 1990. Other donors include Richard Brockway, A. Dean McKenzie, James and Aneta McIntyre, Muriel Stieber, Marge Riley, Bill and Beverly Galen, the late Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, Dan Schneider and Michel and Victoria Hersen.
The reinstallation of the gallery was a collaborative project by museum director John Olbrantz, collection curator Jonathan Bucci, education curator Elizabeth Garrison, exhibition designer/chief preparator David Andersen, faculty curators Roger Hull and Ann Nicgorski, and visiting instructor in art history Kevin Greenwood. Financial support was provided in part by grants from the City of Salem's Transient Occupancy Tax funds and the Oregon Arts Commission.
The redesign is part of an ongoing effort to keep the museum's permanent galleries fresh and interesting. The Carl Hall Gallery, which houses a collection of historic and modern regional art, will be reinstalled this summer, and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Gallery, which houses a collection of Native American baskets, will be reinstalled in the summer of 2010. The Print Study Center, which houses a works on paper collection, was remodeled in 2007 as part of the museum's basement renovation.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art is located at 700 State St. (corner of State and Cottage streets) in downtown Salem near the campus of Willamette University. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The galleries are closed Monday. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for seniors and students. Children younger than 12 are admitted free, and Tuesday is an admission-free day. For more information call (503) 370-6855.

Over 120 senior students of the Bassa High School in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County 170 miles south-east of Monrovia have been placed on probation for under performance.
The students are also barred from wearing neck-ties until there is improvement in their academic standings during the year. The school, a public institution, took the decisions early this week after noticing severe failure of senior students in almost all of the 10 required subjects during the first marking period test.
The subjects are chemistry, physics, mathematics, English, economic, geography, history, biology, French, and reserve officer training course (ROTC) or physical education (PE).
The administration's action is backed by an agreement between the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) which mandate it to institute punitive measure against students when necessary.
The probationers are among 200 students expected to write the 2012/ 2013 public exams of the West African Examination Council next May. The action against the Bassa students is not the first.
It can be recalled that during academic 2011/2012, over 93 senior students of the same school were punished in similar fashion to the extent that some discontinued with the school.
The standards of education in post-war Liberia have become a point of national concern to the extent that the qualification of most students completing secondary school and preparing for college education is questionable.
Meanwhile, Sen. Milton Findley, Pro-Temp of the Liberian Senate, has promised to pay the WAEC registration fees of both 9th and 12th graders in Grand Bassa County.
Sen. Findley made the gesture Wednesday in Tieway Community in Buchanan while addressing the student community as part of his county tour. Grand Bassa County has 11 high schools, nine (9) of which are in Buchanan, while the rest are located in 2 other districts.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/25/11
Both the Washington Capitals and the Buffalo Sabres spent Christmas feeling dissatisfied about their seasons so far. Each team will have plenty to say about whether the other can begin to turn things around before the end of 2011. The frustrated clubs square off Monday night at Buffalo in the first of two meetings in a five-day span. The Sabres (16-15-3) haven't exactly played well at the First Niagara Center, going 7-9-3 there, but they must be happy to be back in western New York after getting outscored 15-6 on an 0-3-0 trip before the holiday break. They had 42 shots Thursday at Toronto and killed all six of the Maple Leafs' power-play opportunities, but that somehow still added up to a 3-2 loss - their eighth defeat in 11 games overall. "Obviously the couple days rest here is going to be nice to spend time with our families and maybe not think about hockey - think about other things," leading scorer Jason Pominville said. "But we wanted to end this on a pretty good note. The...

(l-r) Damien Sinnott '93, Dave Mastin '88 and Nick Marquiss '13.
I have been working as a community fellow in the Public Policy Department of the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce since September 2012. Among the many great experiences I've had was a trip to Olympia with Damien Sinnott '93, the Chamber's vice president of public policy and business development, and Chamber CEO David Woolson.
The three of us went to Olympia in late February to meet with state representatives from Washington's 16th district: Sen. Mike Hewitt, Rep. Maureen Walsh and Rep. Terry Nealey. During the trip, I also had the opportunity to attend meetings, connect with officials from other Chambers across the state and shadow Whitman alumni working as lobbyists in the capital.
Our meeting with Rep. Maureen Walsh addressed issues facing Walla Walla's business community, such as the completion of U.S. Highway 12 into Walla Walla. We also discussed her expectations of coming legislation – what she thinks will pass and fail. A big focus of our discussion was the recent Washington State Supreme Court's decision to declare unconstitutional the initiative that calls for a two-thirds majority vote to increase taxes. This ruling makes it a lot easier to balance the budget using revenue increases instead of spending cuts. It also turned the political discussion on its head, and it was exciting to see how politicians and lobbyists alike reacted to this news.
After meeting with Rep. Walsh I attended a lunch meeting that included spokespersons from Chambers of Commerce across the state and Senate Majority Caucus Leaders. This was an informative session that gave me a first-hand look at the "behind-closed-doors" meetings that take place between constituents and politicians. As an economics major, it was also interesting for me to see how businesses react to public policy – which is something that I knew from my classes, but didn't have experience with firsthand until this trip.
After lunch I shadowed Dave Mastin '88, a Whitman alumnus who served in the state legislature and who now works as a lobbyist for Walla Walla, Pfizer and a number of other companies. I followed him for an afternoon while he lobbied to get EpiPens, which are epinephrine injections that counteract intense allergic reactions, in schools across the state. As part of this process, we sat down with a state representative, and I had the chance to see firsthand how laws are made.
(Front row, l-r) Rep. Terry Nealey, David Woolson. (Back row, l-r) Damien Sinnott '93, Rep. Maureen Walsh, Nick Marquiss '13.
Shadowing Mastin was interesting, because his approach contrasted sharply with the style of the next lobbyist whom I followed, Bill Clarke '92. While Mastin effectively worked by meeting representatives inside the legislature, Clarke was a brilliant strategist who accomplished most of his goals by teaming up with other lobbying groups. (At least from what I saw in the few hours that I followed each of them.)
I owe these alumni many thanks for showing me around the capital. I've come to understand that alumni are exceedingly dedicated to Whitman and show it in part by giving back to current students.
One of my final meetings of the trip was with Sen. Mike Hewitt, who previously was the Senate Minority Leader and is now a member of the Majority Coalition. Despite the dreary weather and budget challenges facing him, Sen. Hewitt was surprisingly optimistic about the future of this session, considering the polarity of the state Legislature this year. He accepted that there were challenges ahead, but he was confident that there would be solutions to these problems.
I found his position interesting, since the Senate and House operate on almost exactly opposite ideologies. For instance, the Majority Coalition in the Senate has already passed a number of bills benefitting the business community, including L&I bills that will end restrictions on negotiations between employers and employees, laws to limit the scope of Seattle's sick leave act, and legislation to increase the efficiency of state bureaucracies. Conversely, the House has been very pro-labor: it has voted to increase state oversight in L&I negotiations and expand the mandatory sick leave bill. As of now, it's unclear if things will get resolved, but I'm excited to continue tracking the results as I work at the Chamber over the remainder of the year.
This trip was not only an incredible opportunity for me to see the inside of the state capital firsthand and meet some very amazing people, but also to develop my professional skills and increase my network connections. I'm very thankful to Whitman for funding my trip, to the Chamber of Commerce for organizing it and to the Whitman alumni and Walla Walla's legislative members who hosted me.
About the author:
Nick Marquiss '13 is an economics major from Newman Lake, Wash. After graduation, he plans to move to Seattle to work in the financial services industry. He enjoys playing intramural sports, working in the economics department as a working papers editor and attending campus events, such as Harper Joy Theatre productions.

Our small town had a rate hike like this for the past year, however by not utilizing water isn't a huge savings we have a "fee" added onto our bill for every meter in the city. The our actual water consumption/swer fee's are added on. Our's our in units if you use over a certain amount of water you go into the next fee bracket. Our minimal bill for our town runs around $90 a month. In one year we went from a $30 per month water bill to $90 per month.
I don't feel that an employer should be able to dictate what an employee does after hours of employment. If an act was done that was against the law, I can understand this being punishable ie: illegal drug use, etc. I feel that it reflects more poorly on the school district that they feel they need to dictate what their employee's can do outside of their employment.

Dec. 14 is the date that's been set for Richard Sherman's appeal of his four-game suspension for alleged use is performance-enhancing drugs, ESPN.com reported Monday. It means Sherman will remain eligible to play in Sunday's home game against Arizona. Brandon Browner, the other Seahawks' cornerback who faces a four-game suspension for suspected use of PED, has not had a date set for his appeal hearing. That means he probably will play in Sunday's game as well. Both cornerbacks tested positive for Adderall, sources told ESPN. The Seahawks (7-5) currently occupy the sixth and final playoff spot in the NFC.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
STOCKBRIDGE — Stockbridge defensive lineman Allen Pitts felt so good about Friday night's victory that he wanted to make sure the media got it right.
"Tell the newspapers that Stockbridge is the region champs," he said while running off the field.
The last time North Clayton and Stockbridge met, the Eagles made Kevin Whitley and company sweat out a one-point victory at Tiger Stadium last September.
But, with a Region 4-AAAAA title on the line, the Tigers left nothing to chance.
Stockbridge used two Maetron Thomas rushing touchdowns and a suffocating defense to shut out North Clayton 29-0, giving the Tigers their first region crown in school history.
"Best feeling ever," Stockbridge quarterback Trenton Earl said. "I have to praise God for this moment. You only get one time in your life to do this kind of thing."
Whitley was gracious to his Tigers who, after a 23-0 season opening loss to M.L. King, have rattled off nine straight victories, flexing their defensive muscles along the way. The Tigers have surrendered just seven points in their last 12 quarters of football and forced four North Clayton turnovers en route to their second straight shutout.
"It feels good to do this for the school," Whitley said. "Our defense has played well all year, even in the loss to King. I think anytime you have a good defense, you have a chance to win."
The Tigers shook off a little sluggishness on a cold night and went to work, scoring on their next two possessions after going three-and-out on their first drive. The first came when Thomas scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to cap a physical seven-play, 61-yard drive.
Thomas weaved his way through North Clayton defenders to score on an 8-yard toss sweep. Stockbridge added a two-point conversion to stretch its lead to 15-0 with 7:58 left in the second quarter.
And just before the half, the Tiger defense stopped the Eagles' best drive of the half, when senior safety Corey Hall snagged an errant Jeremy Daniels pass and took it 70 yards to the house to make it 22-0.
Clifford Lowe's 9-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter capped the scoring.
Stockbridge raised its record to 9-1 and clinched its third straight winning season for the first time since a stretch of winning records from 1992-1995. The win also allowed the Tigers to clinch their third consecutive playoff berth.
Last year, the Tigers picked up their first-ever playoff win by defeating Washington County 26-17 before losing 35-10 in the second round to Carrollton. And Whitley made sure to serve notice that the Tigers won't just be happy to be there.
"Nobody goes into the playoffs just to say, 'That's enough,' " he said. "Anytime you go this far you're trying to win it all."
Earl, who has yet to throw an interception this season, said he sees no reason why that can't happen.
"Everything is coming together for us right now," Earl said. "The offense, the defense, it's all clicking together for us. And if we play hard as a team and play together, we can't be beat."
With the loss, North Clayton ends its season at 2-8.

+ If a major upgrade is available, downtime may exceed 24 hours, and may begin earlier than 10 PM. If a downtime needs to be extended, campuses will be notified.
The scheduled monthly downtimes are reserved to take maintenance releases (MRs) or other updates to D2L software. Note that non-major updates are scheduled for 12 hours and major updates are scheduled for 24 hours. The actual duration of these downtimes may vary. We will provide specific details near the date of each downtime.
Weekly Downtimes - Hardware and Server Software Maintenance
All Tuesdays 5 AM - 7 AM
All Sundays 5 AM - 9 AM
These are windows of time reserved to perform routine maintenance and upgrades to the hardware and server software that support IMS/D2L. These will only be used if needed, and users will be notified of the downtime in advance.
Why Downtime is Required
Throughout the year, downtimes are required to allow for maintenance and upgrades of the system hardware and software that support MnSCU?s Instructional Management System (IMS) enterprise, as well as updates and maintenance releases to the IMS software, which is currently Desire2Learn (D2L). Based on broad-based input from people in the academic, administrative and technical areas of the MnSCU system, recommendations were made regarding the optimum times to schedule these downtimes.
We have pro-actively scheduled potential downtimes for maintenance releases and version updates that may be available in the future. Pro-active planning keeps faculty and students informed of times that D2L may not be available. While a potential downtime for D2L software updates is scheduled once a month, we typically do not use more than three or four of these downtimes each year. Scheduling one potential downtime a month gives us more flexibility in taking maintenance releases and updates as they become available, thereby providing more timely fixes to software issues.
Planned Downtimes
There are two basic types of planned downtimes:
- Routine maintenance and upgrades to hardware and server software that support D2L Brightspace
- Updates and maintenance releases for the D2L Brightspace software.
Users will be notified in advance if the downtime will be used. If no work is necessary during a particular period, the downtime will not be used.
Unplanned Downtimes
Unforeseen emergencies or special circumstances (power outages or hardware failures, for example) that require downtime at other dates and times will be announced as necessary.
Since MnSCU's IMS/D2L Enterprise System is among others hosted at an off-site facility, occasionally, we may also experience downtimes related to the services at that site. Having an established downtime schedule for our own maintenance helps us to coordinate downtimes with our hosting data center, thereby enabling us to minimize the frequency and duration of any disruptions in service related to the IMS/D2L system.

Today in Connected Consumer
Verizon and Redbox announced in a press release this morning that they are forming a joint venture to offer video streaming and downloads beginning later this year, in addition to Redbox's DVD rental kiosk business. The press release is sketchy on details of the planned service, such as pricing, title availability and whether it will offer subscriptions. But an SEC filing on the joint venture refers to Verizon making available to the venture "certain rights to video programming content delivered via broadband networks," which sounds like the TV rights currently owned by Verizon FiOS. Redbox will make available "Blu-ray Disc rental nights from Redbox kiosks," an apparent reference to whatever direct distribution deals Redbox currently has with studios. The puzzling part to me is the ownership structure of the venture. Verizon will own 65 percent and control three of the five board seats, while Redbox will own 35 percent and two seats. Given that Redbox currently generates 84 percent of Coinstar's revenue, it seems odd that Coinstar would give up control of its biggest business, unless it were entertaining serious doubts about the business' long-term future.

In charming old town Savannah, Georgia sits a renovated fire station-turned-restaurant named J. Christopher's. A neighborhood eatery serving breakfast and lunch, this comforting and inviting establishment has graced the southern town with its own storied past, while creating many newer memories with crowds of locals and tourists alike stopping by for an enjoyable meal indoors, or on the front patio along an oak tree laden sidewalk.
Situated on popular East Liberty Street, J. Christopher's is the perfect place to watch passersby taking their morning stroll, to catch up with friends on a lazy afternoon, or to just grab a great tasting meal either inside, on the sidewalk patio, or even on the go for those in a rush. Towering protective oaks hover over the sidewalk casting shadows along the walkway, while the aroma of breakfast cooking wafts down the street luring hungry souls in for a treat they won't soon forget.
Eggs Benedict
I ordered the Eggs Benedict as my breakfast selection. Presented on the traditional English muffin with delectable Canadian bacon, then topped with expertly poached eggs covered in a sinful creamy Hollandaise sauce. Of course, I had to throw my caloric consumption over the edge by adding a side of cheese grits!
Western Omelet
My husband ordered J. Christopher's Western Omelet. Comprised of diced ham, colorful crunchy bell peppers, sweet red onion and melted Cheddar cheese all folded beautifully into fluffy light eggs with a side of bacon, this choice from the menu satisfied and filled every expectation my husband had of the description of this dish. It delivered what it promised successfully and effortlessly.
Smoked Salmon With A Side Of Fresh Fruit
The Smoked Salmon plate arrived with a side of fresh sweet fruit. Capers and red onion added to this traditional brunch special, while a side of cream cheese joined in to aid in the completion of flavors. Always a terrific item for breakfast, or anytime, this item was perfectly filling without being too overbearing.
Fruit Plate
The fourth person in our party chose a very light, very simple item…the Fresh Fruit Plate. Crafted with fresh orange wedges, sweet honeydew melon slices, ripe sweet strawberries, seasonal cantaloupe, and a side of low fat yogurt, this was an excellent choice for our friend who just wanted to "be good" while she was on vacation.
All in all, we enjoyed our visit to J. Christopher's. You can peruse a PDF version of the restaurant's menu in full at their website below for more menu items that we're sure you will enjoy on your next visit to historic Savannah, Georgia!
ESTABLISHMENT / DECOR: A former firehouse, the building was renovated into what is now J.Christopher's. We recommend sitting outside beneath a large umbrella for the best dining experience, where people watching is a common pastime and an admiration of centuries-old oaks can be fully appreciated.
- FOOD / DRINK: Fruit offerings were ripe and bursting with appropriate sweetness, while the hot dishes that we ordered arrived steaming hot straight from the grill. Delicious, excellently prepared breakfast items with beautiful and colorful presentations. There are no specific vegan or gluten-free item on the menu, however bread and other items can be left off of traditional items that are served with such items.
- LOCATION: J. Christopher's is easily located at 122 East Liberty in Savannah, GA 31401.
- HOURS: J. Christopher's serves breakfast daily from 7 AM until 2 PM, while lunch is available Monday through Saturday from 11 AM until 2 PM.
- SERVICE / STAFF: Friendly service, reliable recommendations, and a conversational staff made us feel at home and comforted during our visit.
- PRICE / VALUE: Fair pricing for the large portions we received. A pleasant ambiance on the sidewalk patio ding area, and a knowledgeable and friendly staff made it worth the visit.
- CORKAGE FEE: There is NO CORKAGE CHARGE at J. Christopher's! Just be sure to bring your wine glasses, corkscrew, and be prepared to open your own bottle.
- CONTACT INFO: Phone: (912) 236-7494, Website: www.jchristophers.com
- PARKING: Street parking is available for J. Christopher's with both metered and non-metered spaces.
- PRICING: Our final bill came in just over $65 (including tax and tip) for four people. Keeping that in mind, we feel the price point was very reasonable.
* Menu and pricing subject to change without notice.

How Much Does Snooki Weigh?
Snooki has been working hard to lose her baby weight, and apparently she's doing an amazing job!

"I've been working out since Halloween," she told the magazine, but her small size might not last long! Snooki revealed that she plans to have more kids ASAP, so the 44 pounds she lost may come back sooner rather than later.
