SPIKE FOR GOLF SHOES Original Filed March 1, 1935 INVENTOR FEEDER/C E. HOWAQD ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 5, 1937 UNITED STATES eArEr OFFICE f 2,095,095 SPIKE FOR GOLF: SHOES Original application March 1, 1935, Serial No.
Divided and this application September 26, 1936, Serial No. 102,695
6 Claims.
This invention relates to extension spikes and more particularly to replaceable spikes of this character, particularly adapted for use on sport shoes especially as used by golfers.
This invention is a division of an application filed in the names of the present inventor and Clarence W. Fuller, on March 1, 1935 and bearing Serial Number 8,828. Upon requirement of the Patent Oifice for division, the subject matter of the present application was withdrawn from said application for division, and since the instant applicant was the inventor of only said subject matter, his name was also withdrawn from said application. 1
The present invention seeks to provide improved and readily replaceable extension spikes of the character indicated.
A further contemplated feature of the invention resides in the provision of an extensible spikecarrying member'which is adapted to be adjustably positioned in relation to a fixed member permanently secured to the shoe.
Hence, the invention broadly deals with extension spikes which may be removably secured to a shoe and also with extension spikes removably secured to a metallic member which is non-removably fixed to a shoe.
A further feature of the invention resides in the provision of caulks or spikes which are removably secured to extension members.
With the above features of the invention in mind, the accompanying drawing, read in connection with the following detailed specification, comprises a preferred disclosure as at present contemplated.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view of a golf shoe provided with extension spikes as contemplated in this invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an extension spike constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan View thereof.
Figs. 4 and 5 are respectively similar views of an alternate form of extension spike.
Figs. 6 and '7 are each sectional views of still other forms of the invention.
Referring to the drawing, and with particular reference to Figures 2 and 3, the sole IU of the shoe is shown as being provided, in spaced relation to its edge II, with a member I2 having a hollow shank 13 which passes through the sole and is permanently secured thereto as by means of the flange l4. The member I2 and its shank l3 are preferably formed with a threaded seat 15.
The above-described member l2 now forms the means by which an extension spike may be secured to the sole. This spike comprises a plate l6 adapted to be superimposed over themember 52 and may have an integral calk or spike formed on its end, or, as shown, may be provided with a removable calk l'l which may be outwardly directed, as illustrated, at right angles to the plane of the sole, or inwardly directed.
In order to insure that the plate I6 is firmly seated on the sole, this plate may be provided with a hollow I8 to accommodate the member l2; and to guard against inadvertent rotational displacement, said plate may be formed with one or more teats such as shown at 19 to engage and bite into the bottom of the sole. Also, as shown, a spur 20 carried by the plate may be arranged to press into the edge of said sole;
For the purpose of securing the plate Hi to ie sole, means such as the calk 2| having a 2'0 threaded portion 22, may be passed through an opening in said plate so said threaded portion 22 may be engaged in the screw seat l5. Should the comparative sizes of the calk 2| and the mentioned opening require it, a washer 23 may be in- '25 terposed between the calk and the plate I6.
From the above it can be seen that the extension spike includes two calks, namely I1 and 2|. Should either of these become unduly Worn, it may be quickly replaced. Should the calk ll be 30 integrally formed, the plate It may be as readily replaced. The secured manner of assembly should be particularly noted since the forces applied to these devices tend to quickly shorten their useful life by either ripping them entirely from the 35 sole or shearing the calks from their carrying means. a
Another preferred manner of realizing the invention is disclosed in Figures 4 and 5. In this form the plate Ilia is commensurate with the 40 plate [6 and is formed with dove-tail slides 24 engageable in guides 25 in a U-shaped plate 26 which is permanently fixed to the sole as by means of rivets 21. 45
The plate Ilia is provided with a screw seat 28 to receive the screw stud 29 of the calk 2m, said calk being formed with a flange 30 adapted to engage the exposed face of the plate 26 to draw the slides 24 of the plate l6a tightly against 50 the guides 25 when the stud 29 is engaged in its seat. In this form of the invention, the plate also carries a removable calk II or an integral one as above described. To further insure against inadvertent displacement of the slide, the stud 55 V and the plate [6b having an integral calk ilb is removably held to the sole by a calk 2| b, the threaded shank 29b of whichengages a screw seat I5b in'the member 12b, 1 In this form the calk" llb is shown as inwardlydirected.
As shown in Figure 7, the slide 16a may be provided with an integral calk llc, which in this instance is shown as disposed at right angles to the sole l0,
From the foregoing, it may be seen that the invention may be practiced in severalpreferred ways' However, this disclosure by no means exhausts the practical structures which may be utilized in carrying out the invention. For this reason, the prior art, rather than this disclosure should serve as thebasis of interpretation of the scope of the invention as claimed.
I claim:
1. An extension spike comprising a member 'fixed to the sole of the shoe, an extension member, means thereon to penetrate and engage the shoe sole, and means comprising a spike to replaceably lock said extension member to the sole.
2. An extension spike comprising a member fixed to the sole of the shoe, an extension member, means thereon to penetrate and engage the placeably lock saidextension member to the sole.
3. A spike attachment for use at the peripheral edge of golf shoe soles, comprising ,a spike,
.ajbase for 'saidspike extending a considerable distance to one side of the spike and adapted to rest against the under surface of the shoe sole,
a lug extending from the base at another'side of the spike for abutting engagement against the edge of the sole, and means including another spiketo clamp the extension base to the shoe rest against the under surface of the shoe sole,
the longitudinal'edges of saidbase being beveled, a lug extending from the baseat another side of the spike, for abutting engagement against the edge of the sole, means secured to the sole to interfittingly and slidably engage the beveled edges of the base, and means including another spike to clamp the extension baseto the shoe sole.
5. A spike attachment for use at the peripheral edge of golf shoe soles, comprising a spike,
a base for said spike extending a considerable.
distance to one side of the spike and adapted to rest against the under surface'of the shoe sole, a lug extending from the baseat another side of the spike for abutting engagement against the edge of the sole, a spur on said lug for penetrating into the edge of the sole, and means including another spike to, clamp the extension base to the shoe sole. 7
6. An extension spike for shoes comprising a metallic member permanently fixed-to the sole of said shoe, a member superimposed over said fixed member and having a portion in engage ment with the edge of the sole, a calk on the edge of said member adjacent said sole edge,'andmeans for removably securing thesuperimposed mem-,

Product description
This ninth edition of Tartan For Me! presents the latest in a series of tools for the person seeking or giving information on the selection of a tartan appropriate to a given surname. The lists of clan, family and district tartans are as current as can be. The master "Tartan-Name" list has been revised and expanded by adding thousands of Scottish, Cornish, Welsh, Manx, Irish and non-Celtic surnames. Tartan is a living textile art form with a tradition that began in the Highlands of Scotland about the same time that Europeans discovered both their own minority cultures and the New World. Over the centuries the "Pride o' Tartan" has grown while the exodus of Scots and Ulster Scots to new homes continues even today. Millions throughout the world look to Scotland, Ireland or other Celtic areas as their point of cultural heritage. Tartan is the living, visible symbol of this identification. Every Scot is "color coded." Recently, tartan has become a more universal symbol than purely Scottish. It has become synonymous with "identification" throughout the world. Tartan is used as corporate logos, by schools and universities, as well as football teams. Personal family tartans abound from Canada to Japan. Although not long associated with the tradition, tartans are now being designed for Irish, Cornish, Manx, Welsh and a variety of non-Celtic surnames and regions. English counties and other Celtic and non-Celtic areas of Europe, America and even China, Russia, and Japan now have "national" or "regional" tartans. Four maps supplement the text: a map of district tartan areas, a map of Irish districts, a map of Irish counties, and a map showing the approximate locations of major clans. Information is included on how to locate uncommon tartans, the meaning of color, the recording of tartans, and when to wear a tartan. Surnames are arranged alphabetically, providing quick reference to the right tartan for you.

There are very few fans of MLS, other than Rapids apologists, who thought that Brian Mullan's tackle on Zakuani was anything but thuggery of the highest order. Mullan's post-game comments were so out of line with common sense that I found it hard to credit him as anything other than a jackass. When you're slow and old, breaking legs with stupid tackles is not a good way to compensate.
So it's good to see Zakuani's recovery progressing nicely.

Introduction to the Cosmos at UCSC
Once on the path to your major, it is rare that there is a chance to take a course outside of your discipline. However, Astronomy 1 – "Introduction to the Cosmos" allows for non-science majors to be educated on the wonders of the night sky, without having to be subjected to the more technical side of a college level astronomy course. The course does focus on the scientific method, and according to the syllabus, the course "[emphasizes] reasoning and understanding over memorization".
One of the greatest aspects of this course is that it is taught by professors working in one of the most competitive astronomy departments in the country. UCSC was ranked first in the nation by NASA for the contributions in research in space science in 2008. In 2010, UCSC planet hunters discovered a potentially inhabitable planet in a neighboring solar system. The staff and researchers of the astronomy and astrophysics department at UCSC are dedicated to discovery and exploration. Instructors are not working at UCSC for a job; they educate and research because this is exactly what they want to be doing with their lives. Passing their fervor onto young minds is a plus. It is educators with passion that make courses like Astronomy 1 possible.
In the recent annual budget, NASA took a brutal 40% cut in funding for Mars exploration. And yet, a month ago the Curiosity rover landed on Mars to start its two year survey of the red planet. The appropriate name, "curiosity", symbolizes that the curiosity of humans will extend beyond our planet and into the cosmos. Astronomy 1 gives students more insight into the heartbeat of our universe, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has looked at a starry night sky and wondered what lies beyond the shy twinkling giants.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (July 27, 2008) – Colin Braun's final Nationwide Series start of 2008 turned out to be his most memorable. In only his second career start at O'Reilly Raceway Park, Braun won the pole with a fast time of 22.837 seconds. Braun kept the No. 16 CitiFinancial Ford Fusion up front all night and finished second to Sprint Cup regular Kyle Busch. The second place finish was the eighth top-10 finish for the No. 16 CitiFinancial team this season.
The CitiFinancial Ford Fusion unloaded fast, posting the second fastest time in first practice and the fastest time in final practice. Needing to qualify his way into the race, Braun stepped up to the challenge in a big way, winning his second pole in only five Nationwide Series starts this year. Crew chief Eddie Pardue and the team headed into the race knowing they had one of the best cars in the field.
On the first lap of the Kroger 200, Braun gave the lead to Busch, settling in to second place to get a feel for the track. The CitiFinancial Ford Fusion wouldn't budge from second for the next 200 laps. Nine laps into the race, Braun told the team he was "free in and a little bit tight in the center." By lap 50, the CitiFinancial Ford Fusion was "lacking overall grip." The team was readying for green flag pit stops when the caution flew on lap 98. In their fuel window, Pardue called Braun down pit road for four tires and an air pressure adjustment. The CitiFinancial Ford Fusion came in second and the No. 16 team knocked off a strong pit stop, sending Braun back on the track in the same position.
Braun liked the air pressure adjustment, saying the car was "not too bad, good on long runs." The team was hoping for a long green flag run at the end so Braun could reel in Busch, but typical short track racing set in and multiple cautions fell in the closing laps and the CitiFinancial Ford Fusion never had the opportunity to take over the lead. Braun finished second, his best career Nationwide Series effort.
"It was a great night for me and the whole No. 16 CitiFinancial Ford Fusion team," said Braun. "My crew chief Eddie Pardue brought me a great car for this weekend. We started off right off the truck pretty quick. We made a few changes but tried to be smart about what the race track was going to do tonight. It think he did a great job on that. We had a really good car. I really enjoyed the opportunity to go and learn with these guys. The team gave me a great pit stop when it counted most and I just couldn't be happier with the whole effort this weekend. I've had a blast racing with these guys this year and hopefully we get to do it again."

Bearcats Fall to Santa Cruz, Rally Past La Verne, at Pacific Coast Classic
Willamette Plays at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Pomona-Pitzer on Saturday
LA VERNE, CALIF. -- Willamette University rallied from two sets down to defeat the University of La Verne, 3-2, and earn a split of two matches played by the Bearcats on Friday, Aug. 30 at the Pacific Coast Classic. WU won the match with La Verne, 22-25, 23-25, 25-17, 25-19, 15-12.
In the first match, the University of California-Santa Cruz downed the Bearcats, 3-1, despite losing the first set by a sizable margin. UCSC prevailed, 14-25, 25-16, 26-24, 25-19.
Willamette is 1-1 in the tournament and 1-1 on the season.
Sisters Emily Compton (Sr., S, Portola, CA/Portola HS/Boise State Univ.) and Lindsey Compton (So., OH/S, Portola, CA/Portola HS/Univ. of Hartford) started both matches for the Bearcats.
Also starting against UCSC and La Verne were Sarah Fincher (So., OH, Reno, NV/Bishop Monague/Southwest Baptist Univ.), Kirsten Brehmer (Sr., MH/OPP, Evergreen, CO/Evergreen HS), Shannon Waltz (Sr., MH, Honolulu, HI/La Pietra School for Girls) and Carly Hargrave (Sr., MH, Happy Valley, OR/Clackamas HS). Lizzy Balding (Sr., LIB/DS, Honolulu, HI/Punahou School) was the starting libero in both matches.
Against UC-Santa Cruz, Willamette surged out to a 25-14 win in the first set, but couldn't sustain the momentum. The Banana Slugs defeated WU in the second set, 25-16, before edging the Bearcats in the third set 26-24. UCSC clinched the victory with a 25-19 advantage in the fourth set.
La Verne earns a pair of close triumphs over Willamette at 25-22 and 25-23 in the first two sets, but the Bearcats battled back to win the match. After taking the third set, 25-17, Willamette outscored the Leopards 25-19 in the fourth set. WU prevailed in the final set, 15-12.
"We played better as the match went longer and never lost confidence, even after losing the first two sets," said Willamette Head Coach Tom Shoji about the match against La Verne. "I really liked our intensity throughout the match."
The Bearcats will conclude the Pacific Coast Classic with matches at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and at Pomona-Pitzer, both on Saturday, August 31 in Claremont, Calif. (CMS and Pomona-Pitzer are located in Claremont). The match with CMS will start at 12:15 p.m. (PDT) and the match against Pomona-Pitzer will begin at 4:30 p.m. (PDT).

I Will Follow You Into the Dark on Facebook.
Edit: This movie did not move forward with Mischa or Drake Bell.
Movie crews are shooting in West Michigan this week, as for the next four weeks, filmmakers will be shooting a horror-thriller set in Augusta's famous Barn Theater.
The film is titled Cawdor, and it's being directed by Battle Creek native Phil Wurtzel.
He was inspired to write the screenplay while shooting a documentary about the Barn Theater a couple of years ago.
You might recognize some of the leading actors–Cary Elwes, from "The Princess Bride," Drake Bell, from the TV show "Drake and Josh," and Mischa Barton from TV's "The OC."
But the rest of the cast and crew will be from West Michigan.
Source: CW7
The Barn Theater is going to see some more action after the summer season: Sriel Films Production Co. is going to be using the space to shoot an independent film called "Cawdor."Phil Wurtzel, owner of Battle Creek Rentals, is the writer, director and producer of this tale of psychological terror. He made a documentary about the Barn Theatre a couple of years ago. There will be Barnies working onscreen and on the crew for "Cawdor."
Wurtzel is joined by Larry Lee of California as producer. The two made another movie in the area called "Chameleon" back in 1998.
Lee said the story takes place in the fictional town of Cawdor, Mich. A disgraced Broadway director has been reduced to directing a summer stock theater for juvenile delinquents. He decides to put on a production of "Macbeth," also known as the cursed play. Things start to go wrong and a girl called Vivian, the lead character, isn't sure if there are supernatural things going on or if she is going insane.
"It's kind of a roundabout homage, not only to Orson Welles, and him doing 'Macbeth' as the first Shakespeare ever presented on film, which was a pretty big deal back in the '40s when he did it," Lee said. "But this is also an homage to Roman Polanski, and a film he did with Catherine Deneuve back in 1964 called 'Repulsion.' And that's really what we try to do in our films is reference back to the classics …and just try to bring back that style and that sense into the current film market and what's going on."
Filming will take place Oct. 13-30. Most of it will be at the Barn, but some scenes will be shot in Battle Creek.

Edit 28/9/13: Looks like Mischa has pulled out of this project.
IMDb has updated Mischa's 'in development' slate to include a new title called Dweller. The production company behind the movie, Pacific Shore Films, also confirms Mischa's involvement. The website gives a production start date of January 2014, but they appear to be in the casting process so I guess that's still a tentative time frame.
Six college friends take a trip deep in the woods to investigate and find evidence on the Gaines family who were thought to be serial killers from twenty years ago.
Other cast members include Patrick Muldoon, Ethan Embry, Anthony Thorne and Aric Damm with more names to be added.
Check out the US poster for the upcoming release of I Will Follow You Into the Dark. The movie is slated to hit cinemas from October 11th. And this is one Mischa movie you have got to see!

text: UPDATED 03:39 3rd September 2013 ALBION broke their then-transfer record to sign Sunderland attacking midfielder Stephane Sessegnon on transfer deadline day September 2013. He penned a three-year contract after the two Barclays Premier League clubs agreed an undisclosed fee. The transfer fee surpassed the amount the Baggies agreed with Reading for Shane Long in August 2011. Sessegnon arrived with a proven Premier League pedigree and started all-but-seven of Sunderland's league matches in the two previous seasons, scoring 14 goals.He made a flying start to his Baggies career, scoring on his debut in a 3-0 victory over the Black Cats.He went on to bag another four goals that term to finish as joint-top league scorer with Saido Berahino for Albion in 2013/14.He started his career in his homeland with Requins de'Atlantique before moving to Europe in 2004. Sessegnon spent two seasons in the Parisian suburbs with Creteil before moving on to Le Mans, with whom he reached the semi-finals of the French League Cup. After being snapped up by Paris Saint-Germain, he helped his new club reach the 2008/09 UEFA Cup quarter-finals in his first season. His form during that term also saw him named in the Ligue One Team of the Year. Sessegnon went on to win the 2010 Coupe de France before earning a £6million move to Sunderland the following January. In his first full season at the Stadium of Light, Sessgnon finished as the club's eight-goal joint-leading scorer and top of the assists table to secure the Mackems' Player-of-the-Season Award. On joining Albion, the 5ft8in ace had 40 appearances and eight goals to his name for Benin and featured in the 2008 and 2010 African Nations Cups. He had also amassed 294 career league appearances, including 30 as a substitute, scoring 42 goals.LAST UPDATED AUGUST 6, 2014

Russian carrier expects airliner to 'revolutionise the economics of our operations'
S7 (Sibir) is confident it will be able to raise the funds it needs to support its planned purchase of 15 Boeing 787-8s. Last week the airline became the first Russian customer for the widebody twinjet.
Russia's second-largest carrier signed a deal worth $2.4 billion at list prices, which includes purchase rights on an additional 10 aircraft. The first seven 787s will be delivered in 2014. S7 is yet to raise capital for its 787 purchase, "but banks are queuing up to support airlines purchasing the Dreamliner", says S7 general director Vladislav Filyev.
Marlin Dailey, Boeing vice-president sales for Europe, Middle East and Russia, says banks are "seeking every opportunity to fund acquisitions of 787s. The Russian air travel market has been growing fast, developing in a favourable way [for financiers]. S7 is one of the recognised stars of this market. The financing will be available."
He adds that a firm order S7 placed a month ago for 10 737-800s "means that Boeing is selected by S7 as preferred supplier, with its products taking a central place in the S7 fleet renewal strategy".
Filyev expects the 787 to "revolutionise the economics of our operations, both on international and domestic flight sectors". S7 has yet to choose an engine supplier. .
Dailey says Boeing is discussing a potential order from Russian flag carrier Aeroflot for 22 787s. "We continue negotiations with Aeroflot but, unfortunately, the terms we offered them one-and-a-half years ago are no longer valid due to the market changes and tremendous demand for 787s from airlines around the globe. The demand runs much higher our ability to build aircraft," he adds.

No matter who you are, chances are you've got some gear in your game that could use an update. While we don't advise retooling everything at once, trading up a few staples at a time is the ticket to solid style. Each week we'll pull a dud from the dark depths of every man's collection and suggest a simple substitute. Check your nostalgia at the door -- it's time for your tune up.
One of the most important, yet underappreciated, elements in any man's wardrobe are his socks. Whether you're traipsing to work or strolling down the fairway, keeping your feet warm and dry is a must. Summer or winter, rain or shine, swap out your old cotton socks for good merino wools; they'll wick sweat, dry fast and last longer. Golf may be a good walk spoiled but, that shouldn't because you're wearing the wrong gear.
Toss the tube socks and check out these tour tested woolens from Kent Wool - Low Profile, $19.95. Mid-Calf, $24.95. Available at kentwool.com.
** Styling note -- You can wear the no-shows with pants but, keep the mid-calves under your trousers at all times.

This isn't the first important puck that has gone missing after a hockey official picked it up. Some have turned up. Others, like Patrick Kane's Stanley Cup winner last year, remain unaccounted for.
Sidney Crosby's gold-medal-winning puck from Canada's overtime victory over the United States in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver disappeared after a linesman fished it out of the net. It eventually ended up at the International Ice Hockey Federation in Switzerland before being handed over to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

I too enjoyed the floating from Cherry Valley to the Kishwaukee Forest Preserve up to about three years ago. The past two I see nothing but people along the shores urinating,swearing and throwing trash in the river.I was there last week and left my beer at home having a nice time again. If you need a few beers to enjoy nature that's sad.

Police searches at access points on Kishwaukee River absurd
The recent action to police unruly behavior on the Kishwaukee River is absurd. Yes, the preserves and river should have police action to curb the unruly behavior, but to inflict searches and seizures on every person hoping to gain access to the waterway is not the method that should be used. In fact, this may be illegal in itself.
Canoers are and have always been "stewards of the waterways," whether streams, rivers or lakes. I have been canoeing since I was 10 years old. I'm now approaching 72 and look forward to every outing on the Kish. My wife and four children spent untold hours on the rivers, lakes and streams of Illinois. We now enjoy the same with our grandchildren. Refreshments were — and should be — part of the all-day experience for families who enjoy this inexpensive family recreation. Children enjoy their refreshments and adults theirs. I enjoy a quiet float with a cold beer or two. I live in Chicago, and am happy to contribute economically to New Milford, Cherry Valley and Rockford, depending upon what supplies, motel rooms and restaurant fare we need for a weekend.
Our society dictates that we not punish the many for the sins of a few. Forest Preserve personnel, Department of Natural Resources and local police should be in the forefront in addressing the problems created by the few. I'm looking forward to visiting the Kish several times before the snow flies and my joints tighten up, but if the present circumstances prevail, I must look for other venues.

I agree with you entirely. The concept of race is a social construct, primarily based upon skin color.
All people need to understand that we're all descended from a common ancestor (Check out The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins).
The reason that most mixed ancestry people like yourself don't have your own groups is that you (do you?) look "white", so you're not typically excluded.
They are not paid for their service; just reimbursed for expenses.
It would be interesting to see what those expenses are though
I believe Indian Affairs are handled by the Federal Government.
Hispanics have been discriminated against in employment, voting, housingm etc..
White Women also were not enslaved in the United States, except by predatory men, & they were similarly discriminated against and\or had some rights denied.
There are also Commissions for:
Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs
Hispanic Affairs
Women Affairs
e.g. historical minorities.
I see no blatant racial bias, just a State Government attempting to ensure " implementation and establishment of economic, social, legal, and political equality" in, for not much longer, a predominantly european-american society.
Remeber our countries basis for independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
Though, that statement is not binding like our constitution, it holds the foundation of our country.
The reasons for those commissions is that there were past misdeeds (voting rights, segregation, etc.) to women of all nationalities, africans, hispanics and asians by the caucasion majority that the government rightly determined was not just.
Not a bad idea, but probably not feasible.
I commute by bicycle year round and I see many close calls with cars right hooking cyclists in bike lanes.
I, too, have been "right hooked" several times. I used to get angry at those boneheaded drivers, but that anger did nothing but stress me out.
So, I now ride my bike like every automobile will right hook me. I also have a helmet mounted rear view mirror, which helps me spot the vehicles behind me so I can plan accordingly. That behavior makes my commute a bit longer, but I'd rather go a bit slower and be unharmed than go fast and get hit.
I really suggest that other cyclists assume they'll be right hooked and mount a rear view mirror somewhere on their person or bike.
Very sad about this young woman.
Betsy Hammond: Does PPS track the reason for kids dropping out of high school. If Lincoln high school has the best rate at 89 %, I still wonder what the other 11% of students decided to do with their lives at the relatively young age of 17 or 18.
Yes. Beware of NE Portland it is very dangerous; it is the primary location for all crime in the Portland Metropolitan area. Do like Mike says and move to West or SE portland where there is little or no crime.
If you saw him walking down the street, you would think he is caucasion.
There is a good information about the process here: http://www.pps.k12.or.us/files/enrollment-transfer/EB-Communication-Phase-I-and-II-11_28_11.pdf.
It sounds like the community has input, but it will really come down to the information collected for the assessment that drives the superintendent's decision.
You can give your opinion outside of public forums here: http://www.pps.k12.or.us/files/enrollment-transfer/FeedbackSheet.pdf
I really think that the answer is to buy American made products where it makes sense. Yes, it's more expensive than products made in other countries, like China, but it will provide income for our peers.
Also, be willing to help out others less fortunate than you; help can take many forms such as volunteering time.
We also need to better our education system so that all Americans have access to an excellent education.
I disagree, I think motor vehicles and bicycles should come to full stops at Stop signs.
It's safer as it gives the driver\cyclist the ability to look left, right and left again.
Mr. Rose,
Thanks for posting the video and your thoughts. I commute by bike daily and see the same behavior at red lights and stop signs.
I think the rationale behind it is people don't want to stop and start up again...but, like you said, I don't think the 15-30 second time savings is worth it. Also, I think the cyclists approaching the intersection scan the perpendicular traffic prior to entering the intersection feel that they can stop quickly enough if they see an approaching vehicle. Unfortunately, I think they'd miss other cyclists and pedestrians\joggers.
Thanks for the good articles.
I've driven on that 'on ramp" many times and never gotten a ticket. As Mr Rose states, there is plenty of time to accelarate to freeway speed (unless you're driving a Yugo or Pontiac T1000) I just observe the 25 mph sign and road paint. Just follow the speed limit and observe the road / signage when you drive and you won't get tickets.
Hi Mike,
I read your review in the paper today and then read the Entertainment Weekly Review.
Your review said about Hugh Jackman's character "a man so loathsome he actually sells the custody rights to his estranged son (Dakota Goyo), right after the boy's mother dies"
In contrast, Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum's review states "...a son Charlie never knew he had..."
It seems that you both had very different interpretations.
There is also Microsoft Zune. I think the cost is the same as Comcast for movies.
This article prompted me to read Wikipedia's entry about plastic bags http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_shopping_bag.
Two sentences that stood out for me:
1. "Due to their durability, plastic bags can take up to 1000 years to decompose.[10] As they slowly decompose, plastic bags break into tiny pieces and leech toxic chemicals into soils, lakes, rivers, and oceans." - This means that their disposal won't impact us or our children, it will impact humans in many generations. I don't think we, even if you don't have children, should think short term. If we know about the negative impacts of our actions, we should change them.
2. "Once in the ocean, these bags can strangle wildlife or, if ingested, can choke or cause wildlife to starve to death." - Again there is no direct impact on us and so it can be easy to ignore. I think that we all should consider how our actions impact other living creatures.
With all that said, I've been using reusable shopping bags for the past 7 years; not that long. I've gotten them all for free Fred Meyers, Trader Joes and Whole Foods.
The ban is focused on "large grocery stores and large retailers that have pharmacies" (see http://www.portlandonline.com/mayor/index.cfm?c=53123). When people go to those types of places, they typically plan on going there. I don't think it's too much of an inconvenience to grab bags before you leave for the store. Most stores also give a 5 cent per bag discount.
Please do your research about the pros and cons of plastic bags before having a knee jerk reaction to the ban.
Betsy Hammond,
I found the following (below in double quotes) at thinkschools.org.
What that tells me is that schools that are based in wealthy neighborhoods can afford better facilities and access to teachers and extracurricular activities. Even though 1/3rd of the money goes to the general fund, those schools that don't have the same wealth won't be able to compete with the weathy ones.
Further, I think that the children raised in those wealthy neighborhoods have more access (e.g. professional mom\dad can offer more than blue collar mom\dad) to opportunities than the poorer neighborhoods.
Do you think that is fair to the general public? What is your perspective on this?
"Since 1994, parents, teachers, principals, and members of the community have raised roughly $24 million for schools; $2.72 million of which was raised in 2009. This is amazing work that is also an incredible Portland story--LSF's give 1/3 of what they raise (after the first $10,000) to the Portland Schools Foundation PPS Equity Fund to provide grants to schools that do not have parent communities that are able to raise the much-needed dollars for their schools"
Good letter Molly.
Riding a bike with your children is not much different than crossing a street with your children.
If Greenlick's concern is for childrens' safety around cars/trucks/vehicles, then he should be more concerned about enforcement of cars, and bikes, at stop signs (almost every car that I see approaching stop signs either don't stop at all, e.g. the California Roll, or stop past the crosswalk lines). I have noticed the same behavior around stop lights when cars/bikes are turning right where right on red is allowed.
I bike to work daily on busy roads in Portland. I won't ride my kids in our trailer on those roads for fear of either a bone-headed move by a vehicle's driver or an unfortunate accident.
I do however, ride my kids in our trailer on bike/pedestrian only paths or light traffic roads in our neighborhood.
I think that there should be no penalty for parents safely (with helmet, approved transport method, etc) transporting their children under 6 in bicycle trailers, bike seats, etc.
It is their choice...just like it is their choice to cross the street holding their childens' hands.
Here is the text of the bill: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2200.dir/hb2228.intro.pdf
It won't go pass the introduction.
manicdrummer - It's not just rich people who invest; it's working people who have pension plans, IRAs, etc. that invest in those companies that are on the DOW, etc.
I think it may be a good thing that the DOW is increasing. One of the reasons for the decline of the DOW, which helped to put many people of work, was the ridiculous speculative investments in housing and stocks.
Hopefully, we (including banks) will all be more responsible.
Jim: If you have a bike, you can go.

The quality of Neocolor II Aquarelle Artists' Crayons is universally acknowledged. Their excellent lightfastness, their high pigment concentration, and their adaptability to several techniques have helped to put them in a class of their own.
Neocolor II crayons are softer than colored pencils, denser than children's wax crayons, and extremely responsive to a wet brush. Wet and dry techniques can be combined in the same drawing. Because of their strong pigmentation, light colors cover dark colors and

According to this, Tom Cruise may be abstaining from sex with Katie Holmes because he doesn't want to harm the baby:
"An insider" tells In Touch Weekly that Tom Cruise "has put the brakes on their lovemaking." It turns out that Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard "wrote that a mother-to-be shouldn't engage in sex because it could negatively impact the baby."
In this case, he could have a point.

It's hard not to relate in some way to all the women on Hollywood Exes — they've all endured trouble with men, they're all businesswomen who are working hard on their careers, and they all have impeccable style that we aspire to have. It's hard to nail down which woman we're most like, but that's why we've devised a handy VH1 mobile quiz to help us figure it out. To have the quiz sent directly to your phone, text "EXES" to 22422. Are you a Sheree, Mayte, Nicole, Andrea or Jessica? I'm a Mayte…must be all those Prince dishes I have in my china cabinet.

NYFF: A Dog Day of a Documentary in 'The Dog'
NYFF moves into its final week Here's Glenn on The Dog.
Whether you watched Dog Day Afternoon for the first time or the tenth when The Film Experience's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" series featured it one year ago, you can surely attest to it being one helluva movie. I recently caught it on the big screen and, boy, does it slay audiences. It's always refreshing to see a film go over so well from a genre that looks comparatively tame compared to modern day equivalents. Shots remain unedited for minutes and yet the action and the tension are palpable.
Now, even if you've never seen Sidney Lumet's 1975 masterpiece then it's still hard to deny that the true life story was seemingly made for movies...

Today, March 20, 2013, the day and night will be of equal length, an event which is the Vernal Equinox in the northern hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the southern hemisphere. For some reason, Christians like to celebrate this as the time Jesus rose from the dead, hungering for the flesh of the living, and longing to paint chicken eggs with vinegar dye. Or something like that. Anyway, enjoy it. It only happens twice every year. The equinox I mean, not the zombie Jesus.
Views: 60
And this is the good equinox at least for those of us "up over" where most of the landmass is.
I thought easter had something to do with when Jesus came up out of his grave and if he saw his shadow, then it meant six more weeks of Lent.
And on a much more dark-humorous note: A different sort of Easter Egg

We're adding new IATA training centers, partner locations and distance learning options to bring our training closer to you.
A unique opportunity for airlines to discuss cost management, industry trends, and best practices.
Tony Tyler's address to the 1000 delegates from industry and media who gathered in Miami 7-9 June for IATA's 71st AGM
IATA Financial Exchange is a series of industry initiatives that aim to simplify and standardize back office processes in the air transport industry by leveraging existing or new solutions.
By streamlining key processes, unifying invoicing standards and enhancing service options for the industry, IATA Financial Exchange contributes to foster a simpler and more efficient environment.
The four initiatives are as follows:
The Mobilization initiative is led by airlines with support from IATA and aims to on board invoice senders to submit transactions electronically via SIS e-invoicing. By expanding electronic usage and the IATA e-invoicing standard format (IS-XML) to all airlines' core suppliers as well as to non IATA airlines including low cost carriers, the initiative addresses the need to reduce the multiplicity of invoice formats and improve the way invoices are posted, reconciled and tracked.
The IATA Treasury Dashboard is a new, dynamic, web based information tool that assists and supports airline treasuries with their Liquidity Planning and Cash flow Forecasting activities, allowing each airline Treasury Team to gain full visibility of their incoming cash flows being processed by each of IATA's main settlement systems: BSP, CASS, ICCS (IATA Currency Clearance Service) and ICH (IATA Clearing House).
IATA Clearing House (ICH) provides fast, secure and cost-effective settlement services to both airlines and suppliers. Historically, ICH is supported by a number of software applications which have evolved throughout the years the same as participants needs. The new ICH system will address these needs and accommodate amongst others for flexible clearance calendars, more frequent settlements, additional currencies, automation of financial processes whilst using a robust and secure technology. New ICH system will be Live beginning of Q2 2015.
Future of Revenue Accounting (FoRA) leverages the Auto-billing feature of SIS and the industry infrastructures of ATPCO and ARC in order to offer airlines a central solution for valuating all their flown coupons and matching them against the forward sales. This central processing benefits from economy of scale and can be highly standardized.

Wendy Williams has gone and done what few before her have been brave enough to do: she dissed Beyoncé. The vaunted talk show host went in this morning, telling her loyal daytime audience that she'll be tuned-in when the Queen B's HBO documentary airs in February, but confessing that she'll have to turn the closed captioning on because "She can't talk." Ouch!
"I am a Beyoncé fan. And I have to tell you, I'm gonna be watching this documentary," she began, cushioning the blow to come. "Fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I'll be able to understand what she says. She — you know Beyoncé can't talk. Beyoncé sounds like she has a fifth grade education. She can't talk."
So basically: Wendy doesn't think as highly of Beyoncé as you do, but she's not about to cut "Love On Top" from her "Getting Ready To Go Out" playlist. Is this blasphemy? Crazy talk? Or is Williams just speaking the truth?

After all, throughout this entire saga, she's been the only one who's been able to produce a happy ending.
It was only AFTER the indictment of Dimora and Russo that Darcy, Schultz and PD editorial board decided to pick up the ball and run with it.
I'm a relative outsider in regards to Cuyahoga County politics, but the rumors of corruption were coming from anyone willing to talk, both rich and poor, powerful and the weak.
How did the PD not investigate these rumors? Were they protecting individuals or the party apparatus?
The PD has shown a troubling dereliction of duty to keep citizens informed. The citizens must ask, how did this happen and why.
I don't have a problem with keeping McCoy, but neither do I have a dog in the hunt in regards to keeping him.
From DA to BQ to Delhomme to McCoy to Wallace, they all sucked.
And if Weeden sucks, Banner will no doubt $h!t can him, McCoy, Wallace and Lewis. Along with Heckert and Shurmur.
What is an absolute necessity, is to get the QB position right.
Mobility is a concern, didn't display a lot nimbleness in the pocket at OSU.
Also, Schwartz had better be as good as advertised.
"It's always easy to get people to condemn threats to free speech when the speech being threatened is speech that they like. It's much more difficult to induce support for free speech rights when the speech being punished is speech they find repellent. But having Mayors and other officials punish businesses for the political and social views of their executives — regardless of what those views are — is as pure a violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech as it gets, and beyond that, is genuinely dangerous.
If you support what Emanuel is doing here, then you should be equally supportive of a Mayor in Texas or a Governor in Idaho who blocks businesses from opening if they are run by those who support same-sex marriage — or who oppose American wars, or who support reproductive rights, or who favor single-payer health care, or which donates to LGBT groups and Planned Parenthood, on the ground that such views are offensive to Christian or conservative residents. You can't cheer when political officials punish the expression of views you dislike and then expect to be taken seriously when you wrap yourself in the banner of free speech in order to protest state punishment of views you like and share. Free speech rights means that government officials are barred from creating lists of approved and disapproved political ideas and then using the power of the state to enforce those preferences."
Glenn Greenwald
"Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino repeated today that he doesn't want Chick-fil-A in Boston, but he backed away from a threat to actively block the fast-food chain from setting up shop in the city.
"I can't do that. That would be interference to his rights to go there," Menino said, referring to company president Dan Cathy, who drew the mayor's wrath by going public with his views against same-sex marriage.
The mayor added: "I make mistakes all the time. That's a Menino-ism."
Boston Herald
There's a strong possibility that if Cathy so chooses he could bring a lawsuit against the cities of Chicago and Boston based on the infringement of his 1st amendment rights if those cities deny him permits to expand the franchise.
He'd probably have a solid case especially if Chick fil A was denied the permits.
It all depends if Cathy is itching for a fight. And donations would undoubtedly inundate Cathy and a legal defense fund.
Tell me, what was the intention behind the founders inclusion of the 2nd amendment?
Hint: It's not contained within a left/right narrative. So, you'll have to display some critical thinking skills.
Here's a look behind the veil:
"Our main agenda is to have all guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort the facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
Sara Brady
Chairman, Handgun Control Inc, to Senator Howard Metzenbaum
[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, - who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia.
George Mason
speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention — 1788
Gordon should be brought along slowly.
Placing easily attained goals in front of him to build his confidence. Especially in regards to the off-the-field issues.
Initially, all football related matters should be a secondary concern. If he's a fish to water, he'll be a field and weight room rat. At least that's what Heckert hopes.
Currently he's the most talented WR on the Browns roster, but.......
His sobriety must take center stage and recreational time shouldn't be filled with too much downtime nor lack of moderate stimulus.
He'll blossom under a carefully administered program. We'll see if HH&S know know to deal with a fragile, yet extremely talented kid.
Start Marson.
I'm ambivalent towards Colt.
If he stays; OK.
If he goes: OK.
One mans hyperbole is anothers naiveté'.
"None of this will change as long as we have a socialist in the WH."
Personally, I feel Obama's and the progressive movement ideology are not based on pure socialism, but globalism.
What happens when a nation, for example Greece, finds itself unable to pay the bond holders?
They lose a certain amount autonomy and predetermination. i.e.. the adults take over and begin a series of impositions.
What happens when the adult goes on a bender? It not as easy as cutting spending and raising taxes, to satisfy the bond vigilantes.
I'm afraid your starting point forecasts and triggers events that you've haven't thought of.
Missing for contention, if all the other O pieces realize their potential:
9 tech DE.
.........And the Obama 800 B stimulus didn't do the same?
If you want to go back to tax rates of the Clinton era thats fine with me.
Are you sure?
Because in doing so, you're raising the rates not only on the 1%, but the other 99%.
But eventually those rising rates will only get rid of the yearly deficits, but do nothing in regards to the 15 T + debt.
Looks like you bought into the myth that the R's will shrink govt'.
Those are Romney, Rush and FOX talking points.

30 years ago: First paid firefighters were proposed for local district
PAID FIREFIGHTERS: For the first time in its history, the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District was about to have paid firefighters. A proposed budget of $408,895 for the 1983-84 fiscal year called for hiring six full-time firefighters. The budget represented a 27.2 percent increase over the 1982-83 budget of $321,445. The most sizeable increase was the jump in salaries from $85,000 to $165,000. At the time, the district had three paid employees, Fire Chief Dan Gourley, fire inspector Larry Stahl and secretary Charlene Henni, as well as 35 volunteer firefighters. Hiring additional personnel was vital because of the vast growth the community was experiencing, Gourley said, adding that two salaries firefighters per shift was a minimal concession.
DEPUTY FIRED: A Lee County sheriff's deputy lost his job following a decision that left a Bonita Springs man dead. On June 12, 1983, David McCormick, 47, died in a remote area near Coconut Road after being left there by Deputy Greg Mincheff. Lee County medical examiner Wallace graves told The Banner McCormick was probably "quite ill and not ambulatory on his own" when Mincheff left him. McCormick died of acute bilateral pneumonia due to cirrhosis of the liver. Mincheff, who had worked in the law enforcement field in Lee County since 1979, was fired a week later after an investigation into his actions. The state attorney's office was reviewing the case to see if any criminal charges should be filed. "We're treating it as a very serious violation," said Col. Dave Wilson of the sheriff's department. " If a man s that out of it — in drunkenness of illness — he doesn't have a will," said Wilson. "I suspect he was too ill to have been drinking," added Graves.
CHAMBER CLEARED: The Florida Elections Commission found that the Bonita Springs Chamber of Commerce did not willfully break the law when it ran advertisements supporting a road referendum before registering as a political committee. A complaint brought by Bonitan Clara Ruth Miller alleged that the chamber violated the elections law by running ads on local radio and television stations and mailing out fliers to registered voters without filing a statement of interest with the board of elections prior to running the ads. "We were trying to do something for the community," said Bob Mantle, president of the chamber's board of directors. "After we found out we were supposed to file, we immediately reacted to the problem and filed the proper papers." Miller, who lived on the road proposed for widening, had vowed to fight the four-laning "to the 12 highest judges in the country" because she did not want to lose 5 feet of her property. If the road referendum had passed, Bonita Beach Road/Carrell Road would have received funding to pay for four-laning from Old 41 to Interstate 75.
FIREWORKS PLANNED: A spectacular fireworks show was planned to be the "icing on the cake" after a day of Fourth of July fun at Cal Johnson Park. Activities were going to be co-sponsored by the Bonita Springs Rotary Club and the Fort Myers Beach Jaycees. Activities included canoe and raft races, a chicken barbecue, music, rides for kids and outdoor games such as horseshoes and volleyball. "It will be the best one yet," predicted local Rotarian John Mathes, the "torch man" for the fireworks show. The Rotary Club was still trying to raise funds for the fireworks, with a goal of bringing in $2,000 to cover half of the display. Along Old 41, the ever-popular Fourth of July parade, a barbecue and an arts and crafts festival were planned. The fun included a bed race, bicycle race, diaper derby, Miss Sparkler and Mr. Firecracker contest and more. That parade brings back some memories for this writer, who road on the float with co-workers as part of The Banner's Marching Kazoo Band.
REAL ESTATE: On Arroyal Road, Pollard & Hedrich Realty was marketing the Polynesian Villa condominiums, with prices ranging from $58,900 to $66,900. Rentals were available for $425 a month. Mathes Realty was offering a furnished four-bedroom, three bath riverfront home for $255,000, a nee CBS home on Jarvis Road for $59,900 and a pair of duplex lots west of Old 41 for $11,000 each. At Glazier Real Estate & Building, a 5-acre parcel on East Beach Road was priced at $37,050 and a two-bedroom gulf-front home was offered for $275,500. Assured Realty Corp. was advertising 70 acres on Coconut Road for $9,500 an acre, a new three-bedroom riverfront home for $115,000 and a two-bedroom Dortch Street home for $47,000.
