In the New York Post last week, John wrote an excellent piece on the latest union-taxpayer showdown in New York City–the school bus driver strike that began earlier this month. This battle, like many across the country for oversized compensation for unionized workers that outpaces a municipality's ability to pay, could shape the financial future of New York City for years to come. In the Post John explained,
You should watch this one closely, whether you have kids who've been kicked off a bus or not, because it's a sneak preview of what is likely to be coming over the next decade in municipalities across the country.
These workers aren't city employees. They work for private companies. The city's contracts with those companies are up in June. The city plans to bid out the work.
It has to. You want it to. Trust me: Under the terms of the current contracts, providing this bus service costs — I hope you're sitting down before you read this next clause — $7,000 a year per passenger.
That's seven grand per kid.
Predictably, the unions have spent a considerable amount of time, effort and money trying to convince parents that their children would be safest in the hands of unionized drivers. The New York Post reported on the statistics regarding bus accidents with supposedly safer unionized drivers yesterday:
Buses with public-school contracts were involved in more than 1,700 accidents in which the driver was at fault in each of the past five years for which numbers are available, according to statistics compiled by the city's Department of Education.
The incidents range from minor fender-benders to collisions that resulted in 912 injuries in 2011, the latest year for which stats are available.
A year earlier, there were 1,792 accidents resulting in two deaths and 1,796 injuries.
Despite this bloody record, the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181 claims its crippling bus strike is being waged in the best interests of its student passengers — because only its members can do the job safely.
While thousands of New York City parents have been inconvenienced, the strike has hit the city's disabled students the hardest. The New York Daily News reported on the heartbreaking reality for students who rely on school transportation to provide them with physical therapy and social interaction. The strike has left these vulnerable students homebound indefinitely, setting back progress they may have been making not only educationally, but also physically and emotionally.
The former head of the MTA (the city's transportation authority), Joe Lhota, recently announced his bid for mayor as a Republican, immediately shaking up the field of contenders. On Fox 5 New York this week Lhota commented on the strike,
These are private sector bus drivers who want to be treated as civil servants. That's a very, very slippery slope that we'd go down. This is a contract arrangement between a private company… and these bus drivers. These bus drivers aren't like transit authority workers, they are private sector workers, but they want the same benefits… The mayor is absolutely correct. The courts have held that what the union is asking for is illegal. You should not negotiate when something is illegal.
The perceived mayoral front-runner, Christine Quinn, refuses to get involved in the debate, despite Mayor Michael Bloomberg's hard line with the strikers. If the dispute outlasts Bloomberg's administration (ending in November), which it may, its future under a new mayor is still very much up in the air. Candidates' stances on the strike could play an outsized role in the race for parents and grandparents inconvenienced for the remaining months of the school year.
While the strike is a local issue for residents of New York, it is yet another example of how unions across the country, despite claims regarding their competency and dedication, are interested in their own bottom lines and little else. For New Yorkers famous for their extremely liberal voting records, this could be a very rude awakening about the reality of union conflicts across the country.

Well, hello there April! Is it just me, or is this year flying by? I have a BIG project that I must get through this month and a couple of slightly smaller goals.
- Move my blog to new host. I'm moving from GoDaddy to BlueHost. We started with GoDaddy years and years ago, but we cannot endorse their practices and feel the we must move to a new host. Now that our hosting with GoDaddy is almost up, it's time to move my blog over. This is going to be a BIG behind the scenes project. We've been on BlueHost for a few months now for my Finding Joy in Depression site and have been very happy with them and highly recommend them if you're looking for a new host.
- Pay off Josh's student loan. We're so close to meeting this goals far earlier than we ever could have imagined at the beginning of the year. We're currently on track to meet this goal 8 months early! We now stand at less than $1,000 to go. Josh is expecting a quarterly incentive/commission check this month that should cover a large chunk. We're praying that I can come up with the rest by way of leftovers in various budget categories and VA/TA services. You can read about our initial goal and our February update.
- Read/Study Pursuit of Proverbs 31 by Amy Bayliss. My study of Ephesians with Good Morning Girls is about to end. I was hoping to join a study Pursuit of Proverbs 31 along with Homemaker's Challenge, but March was too busy to add this in. So, I'm going to go through it during the Good Morning Girls "break." I'm going to post thoughts on Sundays from this book. I'm not going to post a schedule, but I'll be trying to do 2+ chapters each week in order to finish before the next Good Morning Girls study starts in May. I'll include a link up in case anyone else wants to share their thoughts and read with me. Take a look at my review of Amy's book.
What are your goals for April? Accountability makes a huge difference in your success! Join with 3 in 30 and/or Count Me Accountable at Must Love God.

ATHENS -- Fifty-seven University of Georgia student-athletes have been named to the Fall Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll-- second most of any SEC school.
The Bulldog football team placed 38 student-athletes on the SEC Honor Roll which ranks first among all SEC schools according to the announcement Friday by the league office.
The overall second place ranking includes the fall sports of football, soccer, and volleyball.
The SEC's top five in the sport of football was Georgia (38), Vanderbilt (36), Alabama (29), South Carolina (28), and Missouri (26). The top five in all combined fall sports was South Carolina (74), Georgia (57), Vanderbilt (55), Florida (46), and Kentucky (46). South Carolina has one additional sport, men's soccer, in the totals.
The 2012 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2012 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
Results are based on the following criteria: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.

Only 7200 square feet in the new school? I question this... It doesn't make sense. To show how absurd that number is, please follow along.
I would assume that the gymnasium is about the size of a basketball court. A basketball court has an area of 4700 square feet. So, over half of the stated size is gymnasium.
That leaves 2500 square feet for classrooms and office space, and don't forget about the cafeteria which probably holds about half of the student population at once.
2500 square feet divided between 15 or more classrooms, office space and a cafeteria... Those are mighty small classrooms.
There's peaceful protests, then there's crossing the line..
When you cross the line, you get arrested.
If you don't want to get arrested, don't cross the line.
If the "meth epidemic" is as bad as 'they' say, then where are all the other busts? I would venture to guess that most meth users are no more harmful than most alcohol users.
With any mind altering substance use, you will have a small percentage of the population that can't handle it, and just shouldn't use it.
We shouldn't base laws for the lowest. We should base laws for the average.
To my knowledge, they've poisoned the lake ONCE in 2006, to take care of the chub population. It's not an ongoing thing.
Also, if you knew anything about Diamond Lake, you'd understand that it has NO native fish in it. If it weren't for stocking it with trout, it wouldn't have fish at all.
There are lots of ways this can be handled. Some good, a lot of them bad.
However, incarcerating anyone for using drugs should NEVER be the answer. Obviously, unless you are ready to seek treatment, nothing will help you kick the addiction. But, at the same time, treatment is the ONLY answer. So, when someone IS ready, treatment should ALWAYS be available. Instead of spending the money on sending someone to jail, spend it on treatment. When the person is a clean, and productive member of society, they are then 'giving back' what they received.
I'll be we find that it costs society less that way than what we are spending now.
About 83% of 17 owners... Is 14.11 landowners. When the number is under 20, we can't just get a numerical figure?
Ah, government.... Always finding a way to obfuscate facts.
Devotion to transit does not make money magically appear in the Tri-Met coffers.
Transit is not sustainable. It's designed to move less than 10% of the traveling public. If more tried to ride, it would slow to a crawl or collapse under the strain.
Just because the EPA was a good idea in 1972, does not mean it is a good idea in 2012.
EVERY department/agency in the federal government should come under scrutiny and have to justify it's existence. If not every year, at least once every 10 years.
The DHS is a prime example of a government agency that needs to be reviewed right out of the door. Security theater is killing our country.
How do you figure? Alexander is south of TV Hwy, as are the railroad tracks, but the railroad tracks are between TV Hwy and Alexander. So he traveled north, crashed at Alexander, then traveled north some more, and crashed again at the railroad tracks.
Did it occur to you that we aren't selling what we need? We need oil. We don't need more coal, but we have coal to sell. Canada has oil, but we can't have that because we can't determine where it would be safe to run a pipeline.
Yes, we need energy independence. We won't get that by keeping things like coal. We'll only get that by being smart about our energy sources, realizing that EVERYTHING has risk, and that we can't make everything as safe as a playpen.
It boils down to two things. 1: Coal will ship through Oregon. 2: Coal will ship through Canada.
Do we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot, and let Canada benefit, or do we take the bull by the horns and get some living wage jobs for the state?
Either way, China will get it's coal, so that's a moot point.
"Hello Neighbor: Middle school students *larn* about community with interview and photography skills"

"The big barrier to all the initiatives is likely to be cost."
Yup. Stick it to the tax payers and rate payers. Kitz doesn't care when he's spending other peoples money. When there is no one left in the state of Oregon to pay the bills, will they finally realize that we have to choose our battles? We can't afford everything!!!
We need better than the 95 year old bridge we have. It's nearly the last drawbridge on an interstate freeway. The crew designing the 95 foot clearance knew that it wasn't sufficient. They shot themselves in the foot. Anyone watching what has happened in the last 3 years in Portland knows the problems Tri-Met had with their rail bridge on the Willamette, and that bridge won't have international freight traffic under it.
There should be a way to retroactively charge the designers for their blunder. We need a group that is serious about getting consensus from ALL stakeholders, not just those the group deems important. The planners need to understand that river traffic takes precedence to road AND rail traffic.
The CRC should be at least as tall as the next bridge upstream. The Glenn Jackson bridge has a vertical clearance of 144 feet. The current Interstate bridge has a maximum clearance of 178 feet. The Lewis and Clark bridge at Longview has a vertical clearance of 210 feet. We should be aiming for somewhere between the Glenn Jackson and the Lewis and Clark bridges, not hamstringing shipping.
Build a real CRC. One that will support traffic today AND in 75 years, like our predecessors did with the current bridge.
Arguably, it could be said that the CRC planners are trying to screw development in Washington, since the Port of Portland will be largely unaffected by a low I-5 bridge.
In my opinion, the I-5 bridge should be AT LEAST as tall as the I-205 bridge, which has 144 feet of clearance. If we can't duplicate the clearance of the current bridge (178 feet), at least match the clearance of the next bridge upriver, so as to not further restrict river traffic.
Where would you propose that a tunnel have entrances? A tunnel would have to have it's top below the possible depth of the river channel, as in, the exact opposite of a bridge to low. The channel is currently at 43 feet, and if Portland expects to continue to draw sea going ships, it's entirely possible that the depth of the channel will have to increase. The channel is already 55 feet at the mouth of the Columbia. Just as raising the bridge pushes out the ramps and footings of a bridge, lowering a tunnel pushes out it's entrances. Because we already have traffic up to the banks of the river, we're going to have to continue to have some form of roads to those areas, on both sides of the Columbia, to serve those areas that used to be served by the highway. Then you have to have a place, the width of I-5 as it will be after construction (i.e. 8 or more lanes wide) in addition to the road that feeds the areas the highway used to go. Unlike a bridge, it's not as easy, or cheap, to have exits from a tunnel. So areas like Marine Drive, SR14 and SR500 would no longer be directly accessible via I-5.
A tunnel is a non-starter unless we assume it will be nothing but through traffic.
What's the problem? I believe they just got the plate when they were 45 years old.
Name some subsidies that oil companies get that are oil industry specific? What subsidies do they get that are not available to EVERY OTHER BUSINESS in the US???
Absolutely not. If it were being planned by conservatives, then it would already be under construction, with a 150 foot clearance.
I'm only half joking. I would be surprised if there's 1 conservative on the CRC planning commission.

3-Day Park Hopper® Bonus Ticket (valid from January 2, 2005 thru April 28, 2005)
For a limited time, adults pay the kid's price for a 3-Day Park Hopper® Bonus ticket. Park Hopper® Bonus tickets include one early entry into Disneyland® park and a $10 ESPN Zone Arena Game Card. It's an offer for family fun too good to pass up!
Kind of have to read between the lines.... it is the ticket, not the offer, that is valid through April 28th... But I agree with you, they should really bold it better... Ticket must be USED by April 28th... I can see how someone could easily be confused.
Note the web page lists the regular price tickets as valid Jan 4 2005 - Jan 2, 2006....
Wonder what happens if you show up with one of these tickets on May 5... Hopefully they'll just make you pay the extra $30, and not $159....
Yeah i would imagine they would just make you pay the difference. Thanks for all your help!Originally Posted by dshimel

Don't water the manatees, federal wildlife biologists are stressing. The slow-moving mammals ought be well on their way back to Florida by now, but recent reports indicate they might be overstaying their Lowcounty summer haunts.
S.C. manatee sightings
72 — Number of 2013 sighting reports statewide through Monday.
48 — Charleston County reports.
5 — Berkeley County reports.
Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
That could kill them. People "watering" them, or supplying a fresh water feed, might be keeping them around.
"Providing manatees with food and water is not only a violation of federal law, but it also creates significant problems for the manatees, as they will easily acclimate to hand-outs of food and fresh water," said Jennifer Koches, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The water temperature in Charleston Harbor on Monday was 68 degrees — a drop-dead point for manatees. They can't survive in water that cold for very long. The animals usually move when temperatures drop below 70.
At least six sightings have been made in the state in the past week or so, three in Charleston. The most recent report was Friday — in Horry County to the north. A few of those sightings were made near running water, Koches said.
The animals tend to turn up near docks, particularly where a freshwater spigot runs. It's enough of an attraction to keep them around even as waters chill, especially if they're getting fed too, said Katie Tripp, Save the Manatees science and conservation director.
"Those manatees need to be getting the signal that's it's time to go home," she said. For people to leave water running or feed them, "is like holding open the buffet table too long."
Manatees are bulbous, seal-like creatures whose lolling, seemingly serene behavior has delighted onlookers for generations. They are said to have inspired the myth of mermaids.
They are an endangered species, and they are in jeopardy at both ends of their seasonal migration. They roam tidal waters like dolphins to search for food, the same waters crowded by boats during the summer.
Sightings in the Lowcountry have increased dramatically in recent years, but wildlife experts can't be sure if the manatees themselves are adding population, or people are becoming more aware of them and reporting.
Some experts think the numbers here are increasing as threats in Florida multiply, but nobody really knows.
In late November 2012, a dead manatee was discovered in Lake Marion. It apparently had gotten trapped in the lake and died of the cold.

The Creative Need
There is no doubt about it; we live in a scientific age. Science can explain, or at least theorise about many things so why do some Christians feel the need to cling on to creation as an explanation about the universe. Why is it so important that some Christian parents would rather home school instead of allow their children to learn about evolution?
There are a number of reasons why many Christians choose to believe in creation rather than evolution, and not all of them are immediately obvious. As we look at this I don�t want to argue creation versus evolution from a competitive point of view, merely to follow the ultimate consequences the belief and morality of a society that holds either belief. Indeed that is what they both are, we have no witnesses, and while the Christian would say that God is the witness and the Bible is his book, the scientist can still say that it was only written by men. Both approaches to the creation need us to take a leap of faith.
Christians need creation because it shows that God exists. When you have a being like God who is totally �other� it is hard to understand what he could possibly be like. He is not a provable force, Science cannot determine whether there is a God, because He does not run through mazes like so many laboratory rats have done! God chooses to reveal Himself in the extraordinary to certain individuals, but reveals Himself in the ordinary to all. The beauty, complexity and absolute precision that the natural order has, shows Christians that a higher power, or creator must exist. It certainly has some grounding because the apostle Paul used it.
From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be. God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn't far from any of us, and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. "We are his children," just as some of your poets have said.
(Act 17:26-28)
The argument that there is intelligent design, therefore there must be a designer is called the Teleological Argument in philosophical circles. If we reject literal creation in six days as recorded in Genesis what are the alternatives? There is a theory that is worth considering. A theistic evolutionist would feel that the days represented in Genesis are simply pictures. God began creation and set in motion evolution as the method by which it was accomplished. This allows for a balance to be brought about, a tightrope between the fundamental Christian and the evolutionist. Of course this actually pleases neither party. The fundamentalist would argue that it wouldn�t exactly be a paradise in the world with billions of years of living and dying to get to the stage where humanity comes about. At the same time the evolutionist would argue that there is no need for God to be in the explanation at all.
The last group we have is the evolutionist scientists who are looking for away to explain what they see around them. This does not necessarily mean that all of them reject that there is a God, but they are looking for an explanation that doesn�t rely on the mystical or a specific creator. Within this field there are a number of theories about how the world came about. Let no one tell you that there is just one view and that is a fact. As will all science each idea is a hypothesis that must either be proved or disproved.
There are plenty of other theories including a �seeding� race of aliens that come through the galaxy and while this was on an episode of �Star Trek: The Next Generation� called �The Chase� it is also a view that is devoutly held by some. Of course the question is if that explains how the human race came about, then who created the aliens?
So what are the effects of scientific evolution when taken to the logical conclusion?
The first effect is what we currently call postmodernism; by this I mean that there is no ultimate truth. From creation accounts God is the ultimate truth, from later passages of the Bible it is clear that He will also be the ultimate judge. Despite the fact that the statement �there is no ultimate truth� would have to be seen as an ultimate truth there are many other big problems.
There would be no grounds for the law. For the Creationist and even the theistic evolutionist, God has set the initial law that most nations follow. Under evolution there is no higher power to answer to, and that allows me to do whatever �feels� right to me. I have the perfect ability to live my life in whatever way I see fit with no recriminations whatsoever. The only law would be a basic human morality, and we all know what that is like! As human beings we look out for our own interests and objectives, and without that higher power we live to fulfill our own dreams and we forget about everyone else. Not everybody would be like this of course, but those who act in this way would have the freedom to monopolize and terrorize those that choose not to.
There would be no value to human life. The one theory that stands highest on the list, and in many ways began the interest in evolution is the survival of the fittest. This theory is all well and good in the animal kingdom and actually makes a lot of sense. However human beings are a special creation, under the Biblical view they are set apart as being in the image of God. Under the evolution system there is no moral reason to help the elderly, the sick or the permanently disabled. Unwanted babies would be aborted simply because of the inconvenience to the mother, because that unborn life is in evolution standards only an animal. As far as the evolutionist theory is concerned, these people should be killed, or left to fend for themselves thus dying out in the process and not placing a burden on society any longer. Remember that I am talking about the ultimate logical conclusion of following the theory; I am not saying that today doctors or scientists would wish to do that.
There would be genocide. Why should the evolutionist accept that all races are as good as one another? In the western world we are considerably more advanced technologically than those in the third-world. We have weapons of mass destruction, computers and supersonic jet fighters. The ultimate evolution based conclusion is that the western world is more advanced, therefore for our species to evolve to what it should be then we should remove the races that are slowing us down. Trouble is each race that remains will think that they are better, until we are left with the super-evolved human, possibly something like Nietzsche�s view of the Uberman. So you are left with the race of ultimate human beings. Don�t believe that it could happen in the world of rational human beings, it nearly did with Hitler!
This portrait of the world without God sounds so much like the one that is painted in the bleak science fiction worlds of Terminator, Blade Runner and the like. From there it gets worse, because there is only one possible conclusion, extinction of humanity. Why do I say that? If we are evolving up then we have to reach the pinnacle, it�s logical conclusion is that the ultimate human being will be the last alive; the survival of the absolute fittest.
It sounds absurd, too far fetched, but remember it is only a theory, just like evolution itself. This is why we need creation to be true. It is why Christians cling to the notion of an ultimate being that designed us for the simple purpose of praise. He gave the law as a pattern for human life and the knowledge that He would be the judge of actions and morality. He gives us a reason to respect, if not actually love one another.
Human life has tremendous value for the Christian, it was a gift from God, and we are made in the image of God, the ultimate holy being! He saw fit to create people in his own pattern. That means that every unborn life has the essence of God about it, every disabled person has value beyond what their medication costs, they have God�s pattern, to disrespect that is to disrespect God.
God made us all in His image. Unfortunately Christians in the west have made the big mistake in assuming we have everything right in our society, and we have bullied our ways into other societies, and we haven�t always respected other races as we should. Christians should be the least racist of all people, because although the races and cultures are different we were created by the same hand, and come from a shared ancestry in the original couple, Adam and Eve.
The Bible says that �God considers the wisdom of this world to be foolishness.� (1 Cor 3v19) If there is no creation then there is no hope. There is nothing beyond what we experience through this life. Where there is God there is hope, the hope of Heaven. God took 6 days to create the world in its beauty and splendor; Jesus has been preparing our mansions in Heaven for 2000 years. Our minds cannot begin to imagine what is in store there. For now we just have to show a little bit of Heaven, a little of ourselves and a lot of Jesus as we live our daily lives.
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be!

Willamette Scores Early and Often to Rout La Verne, 52-7
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University scored a field goal and three touchdowns in the first quarter on its way to a 52-0 halftime lead, and the Bearcats went on to rout the visiting University of La Verne, 52-7, at McCulloch Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26. The Bearcats, ranked #21 in the D3Football.com Top 25, improved to 3-1 on the season. La Verne dropped to 0-2.
Chad Pollard (So., WR, Bakersfiled, CA/Liberty HS/Bakersfield College) rushed for two touchdowns and caught a pass for another score. Back-up quarterback Kevin Ramay (Fr., Simi Valley, CA/Grace Brethren HS), who threw the touchdown pass to Pollard, also contributed two touchdowns on the ground.
Willamette's first seven possessions of the first half all started in La Verne territory. The trend started on the first play from scrimmage, when La Verne quarterback Anthony Andre was intercepted by Bubba Lemon (Sr., CB, McMinnville, OR/Tualatin HS/Linfield College) at the Leopards' 42-yard line.
WU drove 38 yards on eight plays before Mitchell Rowan (So., PK/P, Cotati, CA/Rancho Cotate HS) kicked a 21-yard field goal to give the Bearcats a 3-0 lead. Deon Horne (Sr., TB, Issaquah, WA/Liberty HS) carried the ball three times for 14 yards during the drive, and also caught a 9-yard pass from starting quarterback Brian Widing (Fr., QB, Oregon City, OR/Canby Union HS).
Four plays later, La Verne punted and Arlin Taylor (Jr., SS, Spring Valley, CA/Steele Canyon HS) returned the kick 17 yards to the ULV 38-yard line. On WU's second play Terrell Malley (Fr., FL, Portland, OR/Roosevelt HS) rushed 32 yards to the 4-yard line. Pollard scored two plays later on a 2-yard run. Rowan, who finished the day 7 for 7 on extra points, kicked the PAT with 7:30 left in the first quarter.
A short 9-yard punt by the Leopards after just three offensive plays allowed Willamette to regain the ball at the La Verne 37-yard line. Widing connected with Scott Schoettgen (Jr., WR, Columbia, OR/Sonora HS) on a 14-yard pass to start the possession. A face mask penalty against La Verne moved the ball to the 12-yard line. Ramay scored on the next play to give WU a 17-0 lead at the 5:32 mark.
Pollard recorded his second touchdown of the quarter with 0:30 on the clock, as he hauled in a 20-yard scoring strike from Ramay. Pollard also scored on a 14-yard run with 11:46 left in the half, as Willamette increased its advantage to 31-0.
The scoring barrage continued for the Bearcats.
Tony Krikorian (Sr., FL, Costa Mesa, CA/Costa Mesa HS) reached the end zone on a 26-yard run around the left side with 8:58 remaining in the second quarter. Ramay added a 9-yard quarterback scamper for a touchdown about four minutes later, and Jamiere Abney (So., TB, Bremerton, WA/Bremerton HS) crossed the goal line on a 25-yard run on the final play of the half.
The 52 points in one half is believed to be a Willamette record. WU scored 48 points in the first half of a 76-10 win over Lewis & Clark in 2008. The school record for scoring in a game occurred on Nov. 3, 2007, when the Bearcats downed Lewis & Clark 77-17 after leading 42-10 at halftime.
Against La Verne on Saturday, Willamette's reserve players were unable to score during the final two quarters. The Leopards recorded the only points of the second half on a 1-yard run by quarterback Anthony Andre with 12:10 remaining in the game.
Even without scoring in the second half, the Bearcats still ended the game with impressive offensive statistics. A total of 18 Willamette players combined to carry the ball 57 times for 395 yards and six touchdowns.

Full detailed profile on Paul Ryan Played by Roger Howarth on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Roger Howarth
Birthday: 1968-09-13
At Fairwinds, Paul worries that Meg could get custody. He did after all, and he's a felon and former mental patient too. Emily tries to reassure him and insists that they are Eliza's family now. Paul goes upstairs to dress. Meg shows up and announces that she wants to settle this out of court. Emily refuses to let her see Paul and tells her that Eliza is their child now. She says that Meg isn't capable of being a mother anymore. Emma rushes in. Emily tells them to use the door and flounces off. Meg tells her mom that she can't fight them. Emma insists that she just has to be strong and fight, even if she has to fight dirty and to the death.
At the court house, Paul tells everyone that this doesn't need to be ugly. Emma begins taunting Paul until he and Emily walk away. Holden's starting to wonder if this is a good idea. Meg slips away to call a journalist and tell them that Deerbrooke just released a dangerous woman named Meg in exchange for money from her family. A moment later, Emily gets a call and runs off before the hearing can begin. When the judge arrives, Paul asks if they can have a brief delay until Emily returns. Emma blows up at him. The hearing starts anyway. Emma talks about what a loving home Meg has. Paul says this isn't about Meg, it's about what's best for Eliza and Meg can't provide a better home than she has. After the hearing ends, Meg trails behind her family so she can thank Paul for being fair to her.
Emily returns to the court house. The hearing is over. Paul informs her that everything is remaining the same for thirty days and then there will be a re-evaluation. Emily guesses that Meg tipped off the paper to get her out of there. Meg tells her that she's the one who is crazy.
Emma runs into Paul and Emily on the street. They talk about Eliza and Emma snarks at them before walking away. The couple wanders around arguing about how Meg behaved the other day.
Paul runs into his mother on the street. She tells him she wants to reconnect to him and the family. "Does that mean you're going to take some time off from boinking my baby brother?" he asks. She's offended and insists that this is barely incest. Paul's smug. They bicker and she tells him Henry is marrying someone else. He doesn't want her around his daughter while he's trying to make her life stable. Barbara storms away as Emily returns.
Emily and Paul go to Al's. She tells him about the doctor's call and what she told him. He's not happy that she ratted Meg out to her doctor. They argue about what is best for Meg. She's sure that Meg is dangerous and needs serious treatment.
Emma takes Meg to Fairwinds to see Eliza and her nanny. Emma says that they are taking the little girl for a day out. Meg's not sure this is a good idea but Emma is. After they leaves, Emily and Paul return to the house. The nanny informs them that Eliza is with Meg. They run out the door.
Emma, Meg and Eliza go to the farmhouse and Emma begins planning a family get together. Paul and Emily burst in and demand to know what's going on. Emma says that she checked her daughter out and she and Eliza are now back where they belong. She accuses Paul and Emily of treating Eliza like furniture and not raising her with proper values. She rants at Paul, accusing him of driving Meg insane. Paul reminds them that he is Eliza's legal guardian and takes her away. Emma warns him that this is just the beginning. Once he's gone, Meg asks her mother what she's doing. "What I should have done long ago," Emma says.
At Fairwinds, Paul wakes up in bed with Meg and Eliza. He looks across the room and sees Emily staring at them. Meg wakes up next. She takes the child and leaves, quickly returning and explaining that she just got in bed with Eliza to get her to sleep. When Meg leaves, Emily pushes Paul away. He climbs into bed but she refuses to cuddle.
At Fairwinds the next morning, Paul and Emily are bickering about last night when Meg comes in. She talks about how well she slept and smells the muffins. She doesn't want to go back to the mental hospital. Emma arrives to take her back to Deerbrooke. When she goes up to pack, Emma asks how things went. Paul claims it was all good. Emma probes Emily for details so she explains that she found Meg in bed with Paul.

Spelman College has received the 2013 Tree Campus USA recognition. Tree Campus USA, a national program launched in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota, honors colleges and universities and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation.
Spelman met the five core standards for sustainable campus forestry required by Tree Campus USA, including establishment of a tree advisory committee, evidence of a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance, and the sponsorship of student service-learning projects.
The Atlanta University Center is also one of three metro Atlanta communities selected by Sustainable Atlanta to participate in the first year of the Greater Atlanta EcoDistrict initiative. EcoDistricts play an important role in preserving community pride while transforming the metro Atlanta region into an innovative and sustainable leader that can compete for localized jobs of the future. Sustainable Atlanta will also partner participating neighborhoods to provide in-depth expertise ranging from local food production to energy efficiency retrofitting to youth-led park designs.
The mission of the College's sustainability initiative is to extend our reach and engage the Spelman community in authentic conversations that will increase awareness, knowledge and action on campus.
"Spelman has a choice to change the world. But before we can change the world, we have to change ourselves… Understanding our own environmental impact and seeking to reduce it is a choice that all of us can make every day."
"The sustainability theme continues to be important as we continue our work as signatories to the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. Our Sustainability Task Force, led by Art Frazier and Dr. Fatemeh Shafiei, is doing great work, and we will continue that effort this year as we look to reduce our carbon footprint and increase our stewardship of our natural resources such as clean water and clean air with the development of our Climate Action Plan."
-- Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, President, Spelman College
Spelman's Strengthening the Core Strategic Plan for 2015 starts with a greener community by achieving the following GOALS:
Global Perspective, by working to achieve a "greener" Spelman, we are currently involved in a number of initiatives to create a more environmentally sustainable campus. Spelman College is committed to establish Spelman as a model academic institution in this regard, and our leadership will affect lives positive social change;
Operational Excellence, which will create an optimal experience for all campus visitors; Accountability, evident in greater cross-institutional cooperation, improved efficiency, and consistently excellent service;
Leadership Opportunities, including professional development and training, for continued growth and development;
Service and Community Engagement beyond our gates.

Currently hailing from Brighton, England. kins originally formed in late 2010, around a collection of home-demos by frontman Thomas Savage.
kins spent their first six months playing small shows up and down the coasts of Australia with the city of Melbourne acting as home-base. In May 2011 they released their 7-track debut E.P; 'Dancing Back And Forth Covered In Whipped Cream' which established early on, the distinct sound which earned the band a staunch set of followers.
After relocating to England, Thomas and Jacky were faced with the task of finding a new rhythm section, which eventually arrived in the form of Rob and Alex. Refusing to waste a single day, the band restlessly went about writing, recording and rehearsing fresh batches of material.
After linking up with a UK Management company, who signed them immediately after seeing them live, the band decided to self produce an album of songs. Recorded over the winter months of 2012-2013 in a damp basement flat by the sea, 'kins' yields 10 tracks which aptly reflect the isolated environment they were created in.
Once spread publicly in July 2013, these new songs, with their themes of confusion, guilt and nihilism, provoked an immediate reaction.
Reviews across the board were very positive and saw the likes of Indie Shuffle declare 'This album is one of those records you want to share with as many people as possible because it's seriously that good.' London blog ThisIsFakeDiy mused 'Rarely have we heard so much anger and cause in a band sporting sophisticated, guitar-led pop.' This 'anger' is emphasised in their live show, a live review from ARTROCKER reads 'Songs are so brutal, that at times they feel like the equivalent of shimmering, psychedelic shotgun blasts to the head.'
kins' momentum is fast building, with strong radio support in the UK and US. Gaining UK plays from BBC Radio 1 (Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart & Alice Levine and Jen & Ally), BBC 6music, and joining the XFM Evening Playlist and Amazing Radio A list. They've also picked up early support in the US with KCRW, The Current & WXPN quick to play tracks from the bands debut.

More UNI than WOmen
I'm a dood. Picked this up because I have the ZR-3 and love it but, it is HUGE and I don't always want that kind of flash. Watch fits epic matte/black/black colorway is beyond rad.
Don't be scared by the title labeling it as a womens watch. This thing is so UNI it could turn a real horse into a mythical creature.

William Pitt, the Younger, (born May 28, 1759, Hayes, Kent, England—died January 23, 1806, London), British prime minister (1783–1801, 1804–06) during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. He had considerable influence in strengthening the office of the prime minister.
Early life
William Pitt was the second son of William Pitt, 1st earl of Chatham, a famous statesman of the mid-18th century, whose energy contributed much to Britain's successful prosecution of the Seven Years' War (1756–63) with France. His mother was Lady Hester Grenville, sister of George Grenville (who headed the government from 1763 to 1765). Both because he was extremely delicate and because his father disliked public schools, he was educated at home. He was a precocious boy and went to Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, at the age of 14. Because of persistent ill health, he made use in 1776 of the antiquated privilege that allowed noblemen's sons to graduate without examination. Left, after his father's death in 1778, with an income of less than £300 a year, he was called to the bar in 1780 and joined the western assize circuit. In September 1780, because of his youth, he failed to secure election to Parliament for Cambridge University but four months later was provided with a seat for Appleby in Westmorland, on condition that he should resign it should his views and those of his patron diverge. Pitt made a successful maiden speech and, in March 1782, when it was clear that a new ministry would soon be formed, announced with astonishing self-confidence that he had no intention of accepting a subordinate position.
Under Lord Shelburne, who succeeded as prime minister in July 1782, Pitt became chancellor of the Exchequer. With Shelburne's consent, Pitt, in February 1783, sought a compact with Charles James Fox, who had gone into opposition, but Fox absolutely refused to serve under Shelburne. According to his contemporary biographer, his form tutor and friend George Tomline, Pitt then replied that he had not come there to betray Lord Shelburne. This interview marked the beginning of the long political duel between Pitt and Fox and also rapidly brought to an end Shelburne's ministry, since Fox now surprisingly allied himself with Lord North, a politician who had always been willing to work in accordance with the King's wishes, and defeated Shelburne. King George III, unwilling to accept the coalition that would give office to Fox, whom he hated, invited Pitt to form a government; but Pitt declined, knowing he would not have a majority in the House of Commons, and the King had to commission Fox and North. To embarrass the new government, which, under the nominal premiership of the Duke of Portland, consisted of an admixture of reformers and anti-reformers, Pitt brought forward the question of parliamentary reform, with which he had already once, a year earlier, concerned himself. He suggested no extension of the franchise but recommended measures to prevent bribery and to make the representation more realistic. Although his resolutions were defeated, reformers now looked to him, rather than to Fox, as their parliamentary leader.

Apple buys indoor location startup WifiSLAM for $20 million
$20 million has bought Apple WifiSLAM, a startup specializing in indoor location mapping. Apple confirmed the sale, but wouldn't discuss specifics or future plans. Jessica E. Lessin of the Wall Street Journal reports:
The two-year-old startup has developed ways for mobile apps to detect a phone user's location in a building using Wi-Fi signals. It has been offering the technology to application developers for indoor mapping and new types of retail and social networking apps. The company has a handful of employees, and its co-founders include former Google software engineering intern Joseph Huang.
Their website, wifislam.com, is already down. Their YouTube account, which contains several demo videos, remains up, as does their Twitter account, though neither has been updated recently.
Apple has acquired numerous mapping-related companies over the years, including Placebase, Poly9, and C3 technologies, and used them to create features like Flyover in iOS 6 Maps. Presumably Apple will keep updating their new Maps app, both as part of iOS 7 and iOS 8, and hopefully one day de-coupled from the main firmware distribution as well. What, if any, role WifiSLAM technology will play in that future remains unknown.
I'd settle for it being able to help me get out of CES alive. You?

Apple buys indoor location startup WifiSLAM for $20 million
So many possibilities. This is great!
Nice! It will be interesting to see how and when they add this into their maps app and maybe other apps.
I would have never even thought about the use of an app that can tell what building I am in and where I should go. Definitely a winner and most useful app ever, other than gps, especially for those who are starting a job, college, airport or anywhere to get around inside a building. This would so be useful for me as I don't like to ask people where to go since I have a short term memory anyway and I love people....
The YouTube page is now down so I didn't get the see the video, but it sounds quite interesting and I see Apple integrating it into maps and using it to get to the front door of shops in malls and things like that.
Interesting. However, they had to walk the hall to config the WiFi location. Now I can see apple incorporating building floor plans in maps but I don't see them walking every building to config and repeating it every time the router is changed. Maybe airports and tourist locations but other than that it would be too hard to maintain so it will be buggy and yet another thing Apple haters will have to complain about. I look forward to Apple proving me wrong.
Finally! A mall directory in my pocket! What's next??? Disney? Universal?
Social mapping of the interior of buildings. First street view... now building view?
More useful for geofencing reminders than for maps initially, I would guess. The precision of geofencing would allow, for example, reminders as you leave your office on your way down the hall to a boardroom for a presentation. Greater precision for finding devices and people too, particularly if location info can be shared via tweets, emails, messages, etc. Maps could be phase two.
Excited to see what comes of this!
if apple implements this it's going to be great. imagine you're at a big conference and you want to know where a panel is
Would love this feature on apple maps. Still using google maps here at moment due to inaccuracies in my area
I wish so bad that Apple would have their own affordable unlimited data package. So you can have data only, and maybe they could buy Skype or Netflix and have it built into the data plan. No need to go to those greedy phone companies. If Google beats Apple at this I will switch so fast, even though I love iOS.
Could Apple use this technology in the iWatch?!?! A faster and easier way to find a friend in a building like Find My Friends? I hope so! It'd be pretty cool!
Great..! Apple is slowly upgrading their map.
Well not sure to think about this. From one view I can say its and interesting technology with a lot of possible uses, like when you need to repair sometuing you can view where the instalations are. But on the second hand, I'm not sure how will it look when people start using their phone to navigate in buildings. I mean people will start bumping in each other, and even I see a possibility that some will use it so often that they will be lost if their battery dies. lol
Interesting move. Obviously they're willing to try to take Google to the floor. It remains to be seen if Apple is capable of being able to move as quickly as Google in this space. The idea of having indoor maps for both permanent attractions and traveling/temporary shows is compelling. Definitely a win for the consumer if the data is high quality. But I just drove down a three year old road yesterday that Apple maps is missing but Google isn't.

I had these items on hand:
glow paint (Glow Inc., V10 water base)
spray paint, flat white & flat black
1/4" plywood
Step 1: Patterning
things. The bowling ball. Is awesome. Thank you muse. (pic1)
Step 2: Transfer the pattern
the house since 1977, I used the wax transfer method to get my pattern from paper onto wood.
Rub the back of the pattern with crayon, (pic3) put the pattern on the wood and trace over your
lines with a pencil. You have to press pretty hard. (pic4) The crayon transfers to the wood. Then I
went over that with pen. (pic5)
Step 3: Jigsaw
and all proper safety procedures and cautions, as recommended by the manufacturer. You do the
same. Be safe. Wear safety glasses. (pic6)
Step 4: Wire Tunnels
thru. I made these out of the same 1/4" plywood as the numbers. (pic7) The tunnels get glued onto
the backs of the numbers. (pic8) After they dried, I made sure the wire would slide thru easily.
Step 5: Base Paint
love the way flat paints dry so quickly. The white paint is the recommended base coat for the glow
paint, but it will work on any base, and glow just fine.
Excellent job.
