Name the New Bridge, or Part of It, for Bob Oke
While riding across the old Tacoma Narrows Bridge and glancing at the towers of the new Narrows Bridge I imagined I could see the figure of a man standing on top one of the new towers. I remembered that the late Sen. Bob Oke had climbed up the cable catwalk to the top of a new tower in spite of his serious health problems. The media had covered the event.
My logic told me that I could not see a man standing up there at that distance. I then asked myself, was some power asking me to think more about this?
I remember one person more than anyone else was responsible for this bridge being built. And that person was Sen. Bob Oke of Port Orchard who, in spite of all the adversity and opposition, steadfastly continued to support and promote the bridge. His support was based on it being for the good of the peninsula and the state of Washington. His aggressive support continued even after he was facing a major health crisis.
It is with pride and humility that I suggest that Sen. Oke be honored and remembered in some way for posterity to remember his contribution to the community and the bridge. For it to be named the "Bob Oke Memorial Bridge" of course would be the ultimate honor but may not be possible. The naming of the toll plaza or some other structure would honor this man who has contributed so much to the state and to his community.
I urge the public and the appropriate authorities to consider honoring this veteran who has given so much to his country.

In Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, how does Dillard see the place of humans in nature?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Enotes has an excellent discussion of this beautiful collection of essays by Dillard. All of her meditations on nature arise from her observation of it: she doesn't interfere with it (generally) but finds it interesting and respects it as an entity that deserves to live its course. One excerpt from enotes says: "The narrator is determined to present the natural world as it truly is, not sentimentally or selectively. Therefore, she is as likely to reflect on a frog being sucked dry by an insect as on the slant of light that strikes a certain springtime tree. Whether the images are cruel or lovely, the language is beautiful and poetic, and insistently celebratory." And the language signifies the place of humans in relation to nature.

HFCS or corn sugar: it's still bad
Thank goodness. Now, if we could only find a judge that would demand this stuff of the shelf. Yesterday, The Food and Drug Administration, FDA, officially ended the 20 month review of High Fructose Corn Syrup, HFCS, with a decision that the product will keep its name, instead of the proposed "corn sugar." Despite the […] [Read More]
NYC Mayor Bloomberg to ban soda
While Mayor Bloomberg's heart may be in the right place, I don't see this going too far. I think the heavy backlash, "Are we in Communist China?" said one highly-placed beverage industry executive (give me a break, really?), has more to do with the fact that people just want the choice. They don't want to […] [Read More]
Picture-perfect portions: use this
Have you eaten out at a restaurant lately. Gheez. I don't think I could have eaten a quarter of the salad they put in front of me. Even though it was a salad, you still can have too much of a good thing. Portion sizes have grown tremendously and so have our guts. [Read More]
Fit Tip Tuesday! The truth about food allergies
Once my son started kindergarten I became highly aware of the prevalence of food allergies in kids. I remember at back-to-school night reading a large yellow sign on the classroom door that said, "Beware this class has the following food allergies…" Peanuts, dairy, tree nuts, spices such a corriander and turmeric and gluten. It was […] [Read More]
Burger King makes cage-free promise

D.C. Honors Ethnic Media, Community Storytellers
WASHINGTON -- More than 100 people gathered for the first Washington, D.C., Ethnic Media Awards, organized by New America Media and American University School of Communication to honor excellence in reporting.
"I'm really happy. I think this award is not for me but for the people we work for, for the communities," said Luisa Fernanda Montero, winner in the Best Broadcast Category for her story on how native people honor their ancestors "Pow Wow – Somos un Pueblo Unido." Montero, a reporter for the Hispanic Communications Network, emphasized the significance of honoring the work of journalists who show a community's virtues and needs.
Other ethnic media awards winners agreed with Montero that the awards were not just for the reporters but for the communities they are covering. Mark Lloyd, presenter and Vice President for Strategic Initiatives of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, noted in his speech the humility of the reporters who didn't take credit for the award and gave it all to the communities they work for.
"I think it's great that we are being awarded as journalists for writing about our communities and also for doing it with passion and emotion," said Muslim Link reporter Asma Hanif, who earned an honorable mention under the Best Commentary/Editorial Writing Category for her editorial "Domestic Violence."
Dean of the American University School of Communication Larry Kirkman noted the first ethnic media awards in the Washington, D.C. metro area is taking place in the same year as the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. He underscored the meaning of these awards and ethnic media. Article 19 recognizes not only the right to freedom of opinion and expression, Kirkman said, but also "the right to receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
Alfredo Duarte-Pereira, photographer for El Tiempo Latino, won the photojournalism award for his portrait of a 15-year-old autistic boy and his mother's struggle to learn how to teach him through music. "This is a very important award for me, both as a photographer and as an immigrant. I came to this country not too long ago and now I'm being awarded for doing what I really like," he said.
For Nisa Muhammad, Final Call reporter and Best Local News Coverage winner for her story "Black Neighborhoods on Lockdown" about police checkpoints in some areas of Washington, D.C., the event was not just about the awards.
"I'm totally surprised and also very happy for the award. But this kind of event has allowed us to connect with other communities we wouldn't have reached any other way, we would have remained unconnected," Muhammad said.
"It was so great to be able to reach out to all these journalists I wouldn't have found any other way. They are the ones who can really tell you about their communities," said Tara Libert, deputy director of Free Minds Book Club and Writing Workshop.
Event attendees included Pepco, regional electric service provider that sponsored the cash awards for winners, and representatives of government agencies such as the 2010 U.S. Census, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Navy. "The presence of members of government agencies tells us how important this night has been," said New America Media Executive Director Sandy Close.
New America Media received more than 80 submissions from newspapers, TV stations, radio news programs, and web magazines from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The outlets serve Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Muslim, Jewish, African-American, Korean, and Spanish-language communities in the region.
"The reality is that the ethnic media plays a vital role in our society by bringing news and information to demographics that want more than what is delivered by the major media outlets," said Alex Moe, NAM's Washington, D.C. director. "NAM and American University School of Communication are honoring the tremendous contribution, often made on bare-bones budgets, the ethnic media offers."
The Winners:

Nisa Muhammad, Final Call, "Black Neighborhoods on Lockdown"
Honorable Mention: Barbara Pash, Baltimore Jewish Times, "Star Crossed"
Best Immigration Coverage

Embed Graphic (Only embeds the graphic part of the page with a source link to the host page)
In the recent months we have seen some of the most expensive vehicles ever sold on eBay motors. This includes our top car, the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT California which just sold on October 3rd, 2010 for a price tag of $3.26 million dollars. This graphic does include some vehicles with a final sales price that leave us scratching our heads, but we'll attempt to address.
The odd valued vehicles include the "2005 Harley Davidson Road King" and the "1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman" which are both the result of celebrity connection.
- The Harley was featured on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and signed by many of Jay's guests. After several weeks on the set it was auctioned off and all the proceeds went to support the tsunami relief efforts.
- The Mercedes-Benz was once owned by Elvis Presley and the seller clams that the 'King' himself placed a $5,500 down payment and made payments for 36 months. This was one of the few vehicles the King owned in his name and kept for many years.

Official 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray UK Pricing Revealed
Chevrolet has finally announced official UK prices for the brand new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray over 6 months since it was first launched at the Detroit Motor Show 2013.
Separating the UK-delivered 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray from the standard North American car is that it comes standard with the otherwise optional Z51 Performance Pack. When fitted with this, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupe will set you back £61,495. In addition to this detail being released, the options list for UK-bound Corvette C7's has also been released with full pricing details.
At the moment there are only four listed extras. The first is metallic paint which costs £600, the second is Tintcoat paint costing £1000, Sat-nav setting you back £1,450 and black aluminium wheels costing £550.
While the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray may lack on the optional extra front, it certainly makes up for that with its brand new design and new V8 engine. The new V8 now delivers a total of 460hp and 465lb-ft of torque in base specification meaning the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray can hit 60mph in under 4 seconds.
By comparison, a Nissan GT-R in the U.K costs £76,610, while the similarly-powered but admittedly very different Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG coupe costs £58,165.

By Air Force Capt. Justin BrockhoffSpecial to American Forces Press Service
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill., Sept. 3, 2009 Air Force medical evacuation airmen had the benefit of flying with a leading U.S. trauma surgeon during a recent mission to Iraq as part of a program to link military and civilian medical professionals.
Thomas Scalea, physician in chief at the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, flew aboard a C-17 Globemaster III transport jet on an Aug. 19 and 20 aeromedical evacuation mission to help to shape future training for military medical teams worldwide, Air Mobility Command officials said.
Scalea served as a lead contributor to the Air Force's Center for Sustainment of Trauma and Readiness Skills, or C-STARS, a medical service training program that links military medical personnel with select civilian trauma care centers across the country to prepare them for the types of cases they'll see while caring for warfighters.
"The goal of this trip was for Doctor Scalea to observe the often difficult conditions Air Force teams are faced with while aeromedically evacuating our troops from the theater," said Air Force Col. (Dr.) Lawrence Riddles, U.S. Transportation Command surgeon, who served as Scalea's escort.
"He's already an advocate for our programs and is deeply involved in our military health-care training, Riddles said. "Our operations tempo is the highest I've seen in my career, and with that, our training has to be the best. Giving our C-STARS partners the chance to see these missions will make our training programs more effective."
Results of the training speak for themselves. Since April 1, 2003, Air Force aeromedical evacuation personnel have flown more than 136,000 patient movements worldwide, including more than 8,700 this year. During operations in Vietnam, it took an average of 45 days to return an injured troop to U.S. soil. Today, it takes an average of three days.
Additionally, wounded troops have a 95 percent chance of survival when they make it to into the hands of the military's aeromedical evacuation experts, who are deployed all over the world. Command officials attribute those successes to the joint en route care system and to C-STARS, and similar training programs.
"This trip was very eye-opening, and I was honored to be included," Scalea said upon his return to the United States at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.
"In trauma centers, we are often working in good conditions with the lighting we need and enough space to move around," he said. "In the back of an airplane, the [aeromedical evacuation] crews work with flashlights strapped to their bodies and have to maneuver in and out of cramped spaces to care for multiple trauma patients at a time. But that does not impact the results. Each patient was cared for with the highest standards, and the care was top-notch."
And that care isn't only reserved for U.S. troops. In late July, Air Force aeromedical teams evacuated a British soldier out of Afghanistan to life-saving care after being shot in the upper abdomen and chest. The move took two airplanes to get the right medical equipment and personnel in place, and a third plane to fly the patient to further care.
"Because of C-STARS, our medical experts get hands-on experience with gunshot wounds, stab wounds, internal injuries and much more, and they experience those situations with world-renowned experts such as Doctor Scalea as an instructor," Riddles said. "That prepares our teams for a lot of what they'll see in the theater of operations, and it enables them to make those often fast-paced, life-saving decisions."
Many aeromedical evacuation personnel have more than a couple stories to back up the importance of programs like C-STARS.
"After attending C-STARS, I was deployed to launch and recover aeromedical evacuation missions as part of the aeromedical evacuation operations team in Southwest Asia," said Air Force Maj. Suzie Dietz, chief of aeromedical evacuation operations at the 618th Tanker Airlift Control Center here, and a flight nurse with more than 15 years of experience.
"I can definitely say that C-STARS helped prepare us for the types of situations we faced in the area of responsibility, and you can't put a price tag on the life-saving results you see every day," Dietz said.
It takes an average of 6.6 hours for the most severely injured patients to be flown out of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to command records. The 618th is responsible for planning the missions and staying in close contact with aircrews to accomplish the worldwide aeromedical evacuation mission.
All planning is closely coordinated with U.S. Transportation Command through the Global Patient Movement Requirements Center, which provides worldwide oversight and synchronization of patient movement, integrating medical regulating, evacuation service, and centralized command and control.
"Doctor Scalea is in internationally recognized expert in the field of trauma care and his expertise is an amazing resource for the training of our [aeromedical evacuation] personnel," said Steve Dugger, deputy chief of the 618th's aeromedical evacuation branch.
"Our role is to plan and execute all of AMC's aeromedical evacuation missions worldwide, and we have a number of people on our staff who've attended C-STARS," he said. "By having this first-hand training experience, and knowing what our teams will face in the field, we're better prepared in our role to coordinate aeromedical evacuation movements around the world."
C-STARS was created to help prepare Air Force medics to care for critically injured military members and safely evacuate them for follow-on care. The program is well worth the time and effort, participants say.
"Seeing what these people do to care for others is amazing, and the fact that they're doing it in the back of an airplane at 35,000 feet paints the picture of what the U.S. is willing to do to save lives," Scalea said. "I'd be honored to work with these teams any day of the week, and look forward to applying what I've experienced to support the C-STARS program."

OKLAHOMA CITY – A family's tribute to a late Oklahoma City fireman vanished without a trace Friday.
Josh Kidd died in a tragic car accident three months ago.
On Memorial Day, his mother and father set up a cross on the side of the highway where he died.
Three days later, it was gone.
"This belongs to my son," said Cindy Shaw. "I wanted him to have something nice. Who would be so morbid and hateful to do a thing like this?"
Kidd wrecked off I-240 near Penn Ave. on an icy February morning.
He had just finished a shift at the fire house and was on his way to see his son.
His aunt, Nicole Davenport, says the cross was a place to remember.
"To come and be able to honor him and maintenance it and just sit," said Nicole Davenport. "Sit to try and find that connection that you don't ever want to lose. It means the world."
Hours after meeting with the family, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation revealed it removed the memorial.
By law, you can't put anything on ODOT's property.
Crews will work with families who want to memorialize a loved one.
However, workers say this memorial, with lights surrounding the cross, was distracting to drivers.
Shaw is working to get her son's cross back even if it can't go where he died.

Launch Chapel Hill: Open house held for business accelerator
Leaders from the town, county and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill gathered Wednesday to mark the opening of a West Rosemary Street building as a new home for start-up businesses.
The business accelerator, Launch Chapel Hill, that will offer office space and mentorship to entrepreneurs opened at 321 W. Rosemary St. as a result of a partnership that included the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the town and county governments, and the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership.
More than 100 people gathered for the open house Wednesday, including outgoing UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp and Barry Jacobs, chairman of the Orange County Board of Commissioners, and others.
Jacobs noted to the crowd that a portion of the county's quarter-cent sales tax hike earmarked for economic development that he said is helping to pay a part of the county's share of rent for the building for several years. He said a stereotype that the county is not business friendly can be "put to rest."
In addition to the county's assistance, the town of Chapel Hill is also kicking in funding for rent. Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt also touted the town's role in offering economic development incentives in the project.
"The council actually put a little bit of its money at risk and put it on the table to say we can make business here in Chapel Hill," Kleinschmidt said Wednesday.
In addition to helping to fund the rent, the town also offered 3 Birds Marketing free parking at a town-owned lot on Graham Street to agree to move to a new location at 505 W. Franklin St.
The property vacated by 3 Birds is now the home of the accelerator. In exchange for the parking, the firm must meet certain hiring targets, or reimburse the town.
The marketing firm was also slated to kick in funds as well as services to support the project.
"Government, business and higher education can come together to create a (growing) economy," Kleinschmidt said.
At Wednesday's open house, one of the start-ups showcasing products or services was Sanitation Creations. The company is working to build a business around a portable, odorless, waterless toilet called the "Dungaroo."
The toilet, which is in the prototype stage of development, has a flushing mechanism that seals off individual plastic waste bags when the toilet is flushed, creating a chain of sealed plastic bags.
The device is envisioned for use for portable toilet manufacturers, and to help in developing countries without sewer systems.
Liz Morris, the founder of the start-up, said the business now has a toilet prototype built, and they hope to begin testing of the product this summer. On Wednesday, she pushed a pedal of the prototype with her heel to demonstrate how it works. She said they plan to do some testing out of the Chapel Hill accelerator.
Eric McAfee, co-founder and president of a start-up called Gift Boogle, said the company has two office locations – in Chapel Hill, and also at the First Flight Venture Center, which also houses entrepreneurs and start-ups in the Research Triangle Park.
The company, which has not started earning revenue yet, is looking to build a business around a gift-giving matching website.
McAfee said it's like Match.com for gifts. The website has technology that would allow information from social media websites such as Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn, to help provide information about what a person might like to receive as a gift.
"That data is then used to match the (person) with the products and services," McAfee said. "We're basically Match.com for gift givers."
The company was slated to start enrolling the first 100,000 people for the service as part of a testing phase of their launch. He said they're looking to limit the number of initial users in the alpha release of the website as a mechanism for managing growth and to make sure the infrastructure supports the demand.
Scott Kleist, co-founder of Gift Boogle and the executive vice president of sales, touted during Wednesday's event opportunities to learn about financing, marketing accounting or sales through the accelerator.
Entrepreneur Dina Mills was recruited to lead the Launch Chapel Hill project, according to information from the Town of Chapel Hill, and Jim Kitchen is slated to serve as its first entrepreneur-in-residence.
"Our goal with launch is to create impact," Kitchen said Wednesday.

We all know the star power that Oprah Winfrey holds. An endorsement from Oprah can hold significant weight amongst her loyal followers. You only have to look at her book club and the success that novels have had once they received Oprah's recommendation.
Yesterday, Oprah took to her Twitter account to profess her love for Microsoft's new tablet, the Surface tablet. In her tweet, she stated that she "loved" these devices and that she ended up buying 12 of them, which she will use as Christmas gifts this year. If you're Microsoft and you see this kind of tweet, you have to love it. The only problem however is that Oprah used her iPad to post the tweet. With many of these celebrity twitter accounts, we know that it is not always the celebrity themselves that post the messages and sometimes, they can have someone from their management team post on their behalf. Was that the case in this situation is anyones guess. What we do know is that this message was sent to Oprah's 14.8 million followers and unfortunately, this is not the type of press that Microsoft would like. You might remember that this is not the first time that Oprah has shown her love for Surface as she recently placed the tablet on her "Favorite Things 2012″ list.

This is an excellent bread for giving at the Holidays. I have made this bread for 2 years now and everyone loves it!
I have not made any changes, it is great as is!
I just made this for a cocktail party - doubled the recipe, used mini chips and baked them in miniature loaf pans and sliced so the servings were more size-appropriate for a cocktail party. Decreased bake time to about 35 mins for mini loaves. DELICIOUS!
29 Ratings
I made two small changes: I used Hershey cinnamon chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans instead of walnuts. I chose to make muffins out of this recipe instead of one big loaf. I did get 12 medium sized muffins out of one recipe. Mine were done at just about 20 minutes. We thought this quick bread recipe was very nice but the glaze made it a little too sweet. I thought it could use a little more pumpkin or something to make it a little moister. Next time, I might up the pumpkin to a full cup and forgo the glaze all together OR skip the chips and go with the glaze.
Very good bread! I didn't have semi sweet chips, so used milk chocolate instead. Also, used 1/2 cup brown sugar & 1/2 white sugar. I omitted the icing because I wanted to keep the taste a little more simple & wanted to just have it warm with butter. Will for sure make again...
Made this for a family christmas party. Everyone loved it! Said it went great with coffee. The icing was very yummy! Followed the recipe exactly!!
This loaf comes out beautiful. I did a triple batch and was able to generate 10 mini-loafs, I baked them for about 45 minutes in total. I can't speak to the flavor because I gave them away, but no complaints!
This was really good. I used only Robin Hood Multi Grain flour for bread and didn't make the icing and it turned out great and was very delicious!
Its one of the best pumpkin recipes I have tried! My family loved it.
