2015 Senior Service Project Forms and Information
The Senior Service Project (SSP) at Lincoln School is intended to provide seniors a period of transition between Lincoln School and college matriculation, and is an important opportunity for skill building and self-realization. The unique nature of this service project presents each girl with the opportunity to provide service to an organization or individual for a period of two weeks (a minimum of 45 hours), during the month of May. Each member of the Senior Class will select from a wide range of opportunities to provide service. This time of service, regardless of setting, encourages independence, commitment and introspection as well as a willingness to work hard and contribute to the mission of the organization.
Successful completion of the Senior Service Project requires that each student meet the following criteria:

Spurring Creativity:A Role for Prizes in Climate Change?
For more than 300 years, governments and entrepreneurs around the world have triggered technology advances by offering prizes for creative and beneficial innovations. The results have produced products ranging from food canning to private space flights.
According to a new Discussion Paper, Technology Prizes for Climate Change Mitigation, there is considerable evidence suggesting that prizes offered by public agencies as well as private firms or foundations could help induce the development of technologies aimed at reducing the greenhouse gases that are linked to global climate change.
"There is considerable evidence that technology prizes have a role to play in the portfolio of inducement mechanisms available to spur climate change-related technological advances," write co-authors Richard G. Newell, RFF senior fellow, and Nathan E. Wilson, an economist at the Energy Information Administration at the Department of Energy.
Technology Prizes for Climate Change MitigationDiscussion Paper 05-33
Newell and Wilson suggest that there are "compelling reasons specifically related to climate change" that argue for the implementation of prizes that would provide financial impetus for scientists and engineers. "The scope of technologies that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions is so broad that it is hard to imagine that there is not room for prizes to play a constructive role," the authors note.
To create a successful strategy for designing a prize, the authors recommend considering specific factors such as the technological target, the size and nature of the prize, and the method for selecting the winner. They also highlight the importance of more general considerations such as whether the prize is being administered from the private or public sector.
Because of "their infrequent use but potential promise," the authors stress that, "policy experimentation and subsequent evaluation of prizes for greenhouse-gas-reduction technologies would be clearly desirable."

This morning Debbie Wasserman Schultz, speaking for Democrats, proudly declared, "We own the economy."
We have finally found common ground between the GOP and Democrats. Republicans will fully embrace Ms. Wasserman Schultz's admission. In fact, I rather suspect they'll cite her much more often, and with much more glee, than Democrats. I'll go even further: Ms. Wasserman Schultz's words will make their way into Republican ads, but no Democratic ones. Which tells you quite a lot, doesn't it?
The days of blaming Obama's predecessor are long over. The days of accountability have begun. And the president and his party will pay a fearsome political price for it, and for what they have wrought.

Best mouse for Mac Pro
Here is the deal:
I have a new Mac Pro with 24'' Samsung screen. I am a graphic designer.
I hate the Mighty Mouse and got rid of it. I currently use a cheap Logitech that still cannot navigate smoothly in Leopard and is a burden to move on such a large screen. Mousezoom only helps with the speed. Currently, it has bad tracking and accuracy, although the speed is OK it still feels awkward to move. It just doesn't feel like a Windows mouse. I'm sure this all has to do with acceleration levels on a mac. I don't want to argue with anyone about how Mighty Mouse is great etc. I personally cannot stand the thing or how any (basic) mouse feels on Leopard.
Simply put: all I want is a mouse to feel like a mouse would on a Windows computer: fast, smooth, accurate.
My question is what mouse works best with a Mac Pro desktop? Logitech or Kensington? Those are the only brands I'm considering. Is a trackball better? I've heard that Kensington mouse software will replace the Apple acceleration levels so the mouse feels like a Windows mouse, is that true? I'm debating between Logitech MX Revolution or Kensington Expert Mouse trackball...among others.
Mouse can be wired and price is not a factor. Thank you very much in advance. This would solve a huge headache for me.
I really, intensely dislike Apple's default mouse tracking. It uses way too much acceleration, making the mouse almost unusably slow if you move it slowly and then it jumps and goes way too fast once you hit a specific threshold of movement speed.
This isn't your mouse's fault, though. It's the mouse tracking. You can get USB Overdrive to change both tracking speed and acceleration regardless of which mouse you have.
I did have a Kensington mouse for a while and the software is a lot better than Logitech's and it lets you change acceleration as well, so if you get one you don't have to also pay for USB Overdrive. Logitech makes good mice but their software is crap.
I have a Logitech MX518 (never actually plugged the mighty that came with my imac) and i never experienced any problems so far.
Maybe because i used to be a high sensitive gamer i've never encountered a problem with speed or tracking issues. Plus i always keep the sensitivity on 800dpi through the mouse "on the fly" adjustment buttons.
Im also a graphic designer with a 24" screen btw.
I use the Logitech MX Revolution and I really enjoy it. The quick spin mode is just awesome and the mouse is really accurate over all.
I'm a photographer and don"t use a mouse at all - but a wacom tablet. I'd never go back to the cumbersome mouse, using the tablet and pen I don't get RSI - its a much more natural way of navigating around a big screen. The big down side is they can cost about £250+ - but if it's your job then the investment will really be worth it. The control you get is way beyond what any mouse can give you - but for that kinda price - so it should be :-)
HEY mate i was just wanderin how u use usb i need big help thx
go for a razer krait or pro, best combination i've ever seen with a mac
I've installed a Razer Deathadder Mac on my system. It's nice and precise and it's designed well to prevent stuff building up on the underside of it.
I do miss horizontal scrolling from my previous Microsoft Intelieye Explorer 4.0 sometimes though.
I use the Kensington "Expert Mouse", which is, in spite of the name, actually a trackball. It worked perfectly with my old Windows PC, and it has worked perfectly with my Mac Pro (both Tiger and Leopard).

"The Way conceives them.
Integrity receives them.
Matter allows them.
Nature endows them.
All creatures thus respect the Way
and honor its Integrity.
No one demands that this be so.
Their respect by nature ever flows.
The Way gives birth to them and nurtures them.
It shapes them, develops them,
shelters them, strengthens them,
sustains them, preserves them.
Creating, not claiming as one's own,
working, not waiting for return,
guiding, not seeking to control:
such is the wonder of integrity."
- Translated by Douglas Allchin, Chapter 51
"The Way produces all things.
Power nourishes them.
Matter gives them physical form.
Environment shapes their abilities.
Therefore all things respect the Way and honor power.
The Way is respected, and power is honored
without anyone's order and always naturally.
Therefore the Way produces all things,
and power nourishes them,
caring for them and developing them,
sheltering them and comforting them,
nurturing them and protecting them,
producing them but not possessing them,
helping them but not obligating them,
guiding them but not controlling them.
This is mystical power."
- Translated by Sanderson Beck, Chapter 51
"Ten thousand Dao begets and breeds,
Which its power tends and feeds
As objects all take varied shape,
As things to use reach final form.
For this the natural myriad
Honour the Way, esteem its power.
Such honour and such high esteem
No mandate from above decreed;
It is their norm of self-becoming.
Dao indeed begets and breeds
All its power tends and feeds
And fosters and then raises up
And brings to full maturity
And still preserves and still protects.
For Dao begets but does not keep,
Works its way but does not bind:
Authority that does not rule.
Such is the meaning of "hidden power"."
- Translated by Moss Roberts, Chapter 51

"Tao brings all the creatures of the world to be born
And by following the way they come to fill their nature
Thus do they follow the tao and honor virtue
No one asks them to; they do it without thinking
It creates them but doesn't own them
It supplies them but doesn't make them dependent
It matures them but doesn't command them
This is the ideal of virtue."
- Translated by Ted Wrigley, Chapter 51
"The Tao begets existence.
Intelligence nurtures existence.
Substance forms existence.
Forces complete existence.
For this reason,
Everything in existence, without exception,
Reveres the Tao and honors Intelligence,
Not by any decree, but with utter spontaneity.
Thus, the Tao begets everything in existence,
And Intelligence nurtures it,
Rears it,
Develops it,
Completes it,
Ripens it,
Sustains it,
Protects it.
Giving birth without possessing,
Availing life without claiming,
Promoting growth without controlling,
These are the Profound Virtues of Kosmic Intelligence."

"A guide starts it,
virtuosity cultivates it,
Natural kinds model it
and circumstances complete it.
For this reason, among the ten-thousand natural kinds,
None fail to respect a guide and value virtuosity.
This respecting of guides
and valuing of virtuosity
is not, in general, commanded in words instead it treats self-so as constant.
Hence a guide starts it,
virtuosity cultivates it,
Acts as its elder, educates it,
shades it, poisons it,
nourishes it and returns it.
Gives rise to and not 'exist,'
Deem: act and not rely on anything.
Acts as elder and does not rule.
This would be called 'profound virtuosity.'"

"Tao creates all things,
Virtue nurtures them.
Matter gives them forms, and
Environment allows them to succeed.
Thus all things honour Tao and value Virtue.
Tao being honoured and Virtue being valued,
They always occurred naturally without being dictated by anyone.
Tao creates all thing.
Virtue nurtures them:
They grow and develop;
Bear fruits and mature; and
Are cared for and protected.
To create, but not to possess;
To care for, but not to control;
To lead, but not to subjugate.
This is called the profound virtue."
- Translated by Cheng, Chapter 51
The Way bears all things;
Harmony nurtures them;
Nature shapes them;
Use completes them.
Each follows the Way and honours harmony,
Not by law,
But by being.
The Way bears, nurtures, shapes, completes,
Shelters, comforts, and makes a home for them.
Bearing without possessing,
Nurturing without taming,
Shaping without forcing,
This is harmony.
- Translated by Peter Merel, Chapter 51
"Tao gives life to all creatures; teh feeds them;
materiality shapes them; energy completes them.
Therefore among all things there is none that does not honor Tao and esteem teh.
Honor for Tao and esteem for teh is never compelled, it is always spontaneous.
Therefore Tao gives life to them, but teh nurses them, raises them, nurtures, completes, matures, rears, protects them.
Tao gives life to them but makes no claim of ownership; teh forms them but makes no claim upon them, raises them but does not rule them.
This is profound vitality (teh)."
- Translated by Dwight Goddard, Chapter 51
"All things are produced by the Tao, and nourished by
its outflowing operation.
They receive their forms according to the nature of each, and are completed according to the circumstances of their condition. Therefore all things without exception honour the Tao, and exalt its outflowing operation.
This honouring of the Tao and exalting of its operation is not the result of any ordination, but always a spontaneous tribute.
Thus it is that the Tao produces (all things), nourishes them, brings them to their full growth, nurses them, completes them, matures them, maintains them, and overspreads them.
It produces them and makes no claim to the possession of them; it carries them through their processes and does not vaunt its ability in doing so; it brings them to maturity and exercises no control over them;--this is called its mysterious operation."

"Tao gives life to all things.
Virtue nourishes them.
Material world gives them form.
Circumstances make them complete.
Therefore of the myriad things,
Each one reveres Tao
And each one pays tribute to virtue.
They do so without being ordered.
They do so of themselves.
Tao gives life to them.
Virtue nourishes and matures them.
It teaches them and protects them.
It rests them, supports them and guards them.
Tao gives life to them but it does not possess them.
It toils for them but expects no praise.
It guides them but does not dominate them.
This is the secret virtue."
- Translated by Agnieszka Solska, Chapter 51
"Tao produces them (all things);
Virtue feeds them;
All of them appear in different forms;
Each is perfect by being given power.
Therefore none of the numerous things does not honour Tao and esteem virtue.
The honouring of Tao and the esteem of virtue are done, not by command, but always of their own accord.
Therefore Tao produces them, makes them grow, nourishes them, shelters them, brings them up and protects them.
When all things come into being, Tao does not reject them.
It produces them without holding possession of them.
It acts without depending upon them, and raises them without lording it over them.
When merits are accomplished, it does not lay claim to them.
Because it does not lay claim to them, therefore it does not lose them."

"Tao gives Life to all beings.
Teh nourishes them.
It gives to each being its form.
It gives the inward urge towards perfectness.
That is why there is no living creature that does not reverence Tao and honour Teh.
The veneration of Tao!
The honour of Teh!
No Master has decreed it,
But eternally it affirms the Self.
Therefore Tao gives Life to all beings,
It nourishes and makes them grow,
It rears them and perfects them,
It sustains, feeds, and protects them.
It gives them Life, but does not possess them.
It gives them activity, but does not depend o them.
It urges them to grow, but does not rule them.
This is called profound Teh."
- Translated by Isabella Mears, 1916, Chapter 51
"Existence having
born them
And fitness bred them,
While matter varied their forms
And breath empowered them,
All created things render, to the existence and fitness they depend on,
An obedience
Not commanded but of course.
And since this is the way existence bears issue
And fitness raises, attends,
Shelters, feeds and protects,
D0 you likewise
Be parent, not possessor,
Attendant, not master,
Be concerned not with obedience but with benefit,
And you are at the core of living."

"All living things are from the Tao,
And nourished by the Teh's advance,
Take shape as things in each combine,
And grow by force and circumstance;
Hence all things honor Tao that grow,
And all exalt its vast outflow.
This exaltation of the Tao,
This honor where it operates,
Is not obedience to command
From that which fashions or creates,
But comes from all, whatever they be,
A tribute cast spontaneously.
The Tao produces everything,
The Teh, it nurses, raises, feeds,
Completes, matures, prolongs, and spreads
O'er all protection for their needs;
Hence all things honor Tao that grow,
And all exalt its vast outflow.
Producing life for all, it holds
No ownership; it makes all things,
But needs them not; it carries through
Their birth and growth; to life it brings
Long lasting, yet takes no control,
This mystic virtue of the whole."
- Translated by Isaac Winter Heysinger, 1903, Chapter 51
"The Tao gives birth to all of creation.
The virtue of Tao in nature nurtures them,
and their families give them their form.
Their environment then shapes them into completion.
That is why every creature honors the Tao and its virtue.
No one tells them to honor the Tao and its virtue,
it happens all by itself.
So the Tao gives them birth,
and its virtue cultivates them,
cares for them,
nurtures them,
gives them a place of refuge and peace,
helps them to grow and shelters them.
It gives them life without wanting to posses them,
and cares for them expecting nothing in return.
It is their master, but it does not seek to dominate them.
This is called the dark and mysterious virtue."

"Tao brings forth and Teh nourishes.
All things take up their several forms, and natural forces bring them to perfection.
Therefore all things conspire to exalt Tao and to cherish virtue.
But this regard of Tao and Teh is not in deference to any mandate.
It is unconstrained, and therefore it endures forever.
For Tao produces all things, and Teh nourishes, increases, feeds, matures, protects, and watches over them.
To produce without possessing; to work without expecting; top enlarge without usurping; this is the absolute virtue!"

"Tao gives all things life
Te gives them fulfillment
Nature is what shapes them
Living is what brings them to completion
Every creature honours Tao and worships Te not by force but through its own living and breathing
Though Tao gives life to all things
Te is what cultivates them
Te is that magic power which raises and rears them completes and prepares them comforts and protects them
To create without owning
To give without expecting
To fill without claiming
This is the profound expression of Tao
The highest perfection of Te"

Ambos los nutren y les brindan abrigo;
Ambos les dan la vida, pero no los poseen.
Ambos actúan, pero sin apoyarse en nada;
Ambos les dan larga vida, pero no dirigen sus cosas.
Ambos le llaman la virtud oscura y poco visible."
- Translated by Alejandro Pareja, based on the English translation by William Scott Wilson, 2012, Capitulo 51

Dreaming big isn't bad, but not putting effort into it is horrible. People talk all the time, and no one ever does anything. AGREED.
Sometimes, people have to learn by their experiences. I do agree that giving yourself unrealistic goals is self-defeating .. you have to find a mid point somewhere. Better to have some dreams than none at all .. you just don't try anymore then.
don't be a dream squasher
How do you know she won't? The odds are not necessarily in her favor but still, taking the class, she might become physic, or at the very least spur her on to other dreams....it's really not your 'job' to be the voice of reason to other peoples dreams....bit controlling don't you think?

MMA NEWS | Sonnen: Silva can't handle five rounds of cage fitness (Video)
The MMA world's favorite trash talker is at it again!
Read More: Chael Sonnen (News), Anderson Silva (News), UFC Brazil 2012
43 Responses to "MMA NEWS | Sonnen: Silva can't handle five rounds of cage fitness (Video)"
Classic Chael Sonnen. I'm rooting for him but don't really see him winning…
this mans a JOKE , he stands no chance
He doesnt have to because he is going to knock your ass out sonnen.
He better use his time preparing this match, instead he is losing any credibility by talking trash……what a doucebag !! Never trust the words of a fraud !!
Isn't this the same punk that got tired of laying an Anderson and throwing pitter patter punches, only to get submitted in teh 5th. Wasn't he also huffing and puffing with Michael Bisping…
Now that everyone knows he is a huge WWE fan who cares about Chael Sonnen
alot of miserable people in here. you all need to go hug some puppies or something. anyone who questions chaels fighting ability is an idiot. hes ranked #2 in his division for a reason. can any of you go 5 rounds with anderson silva? can any of you even go 3 with bisping? u couldnt hang with chael for 1 sentence of his trash talking. hed make u cry to your mommy who he also fucked in the ass. you may not be able to stand up for yourselves or do anything physical you sure can press those keyboard keys and bitch and moan pretty consistantly. get a sense of humor. if u dont like chael cause he talks trash then youre an idiot. if u dont liek chael for any reason ur a miserable waste of life and a shame to the human race.
future middleweight champion and president of the world. chael sonnen humanities savior and greatest man to ever exist.
disagree and youd be one of those wastes of life and shame to humans as i stated earlier. if u want to be one of those than go ahead and disagree.
yur the fkn idiot…probably a Republican too..
Thank you for reppin the Chartmonster!
Fucking bastard… President of the world in your ass motherfucker.
Maybe you can say to your mommy to make a blowjob in Chael and u watching bitch.
You talk to much, maybe you need to learn more about MMA, chael is nothing only 1 great wrestler and Anderson is the biggest fighter ever in MMA, he is a trully champ and anyone can win Anderson only himself.
How the hell do you "make a blowjob?"
Stick Chaels dick off from your butt. Eating all that dog food is getting you crazy
As I read this, I pictured you listening to the Indigo Girls, huddling on the bed with candles lit all around your room, and clutching one of Chael's shirts to your chest smelling his cologne, crying your eyes out and hoping that he'd come back and donkey punch you some more.
It's okay to cry, but don't hug his nuts so tight…you'll cut off circulation.
I was with u up to the mom fucking comment then u just spiraled out of control, I agree chael isn't to be taken seriously. He absolutely thinks he is the best & will be champ … (HE THINKS)
I LOVE CHAEL in his interviews, but in the cage he's one of the most boring fighters in the world.
But chael has committed a felony & pissed hot, he is obnoxious & full of shit makes things up & makes MMA look like a joke and immaturish …. so people have plenty of reason to hate him.
Don't be a doucher
your talking crap i had street fight with him in2007 got his ass handed to him on in front of a night club. moaning like a b tch. left him crying on the side walk as left on my wheel chair oh yes i tapped his womens ass and she liked it much meet her for drinks tonight mmmm
too long didn't read
Bisping got robbed.
Sonnen absolutely lost 1st 2 rounds.
He doesnt deserve this shot & he will be finished soon by SPIDER
He won the first with two more take downs and more strikes and power strikes landed idiot watch the fight again
You need to watch the fight Michael Bisping was robbed,you just like chael crying fucking babes,be a fucking man and admit it
i dont think he has much of a right to say that when Anderson finished him in the 5th round of there last fight
Lol! Apparently neither can Sonnen.
Sonnen couldn't beat spider with two broken ribs and he was on steroids, how is he gonna beat him off steroids and no broken ribs?
From what I saw in your last fight, neither can you Chael!
Chael is THE MAN!!! I just met him Saturday night and he is the most down to earth guy and extremely humble and thankful for his fans. CHAEL ALL THE WAY!!!
I like how he said "I don't want this to be a cage fitness commercial" and it cuts off and we r commenting on it … also soares got shit canned by silva
anderson 2 year ago would kill chael 10 out 10..now anderson is older and past him prime,,,i think sadly chael will win and anderson wiill retire…even if anderson wins and it a close fight i think anderson wil retire,,u can really see ansderson is slowing down..i hope anderson wins,,he really is the G.O.A.T.
LOL he is technically past his prime yes, but tell vitor belfort that hes slowing down with that front kick to the chin, hes still got 4 fights left on his contract and then he said he will probably retire
I'm unsure of y people keep saying this … ED SOARES said just a few more fights, Anderson shit canned spares cuz he was misrepresenting Anderson.
Silva said he thinks if he can stay healthy he still wants to fight another 5-7 years, this was a few months ago, wish I remembered where I dun seented it.
silva is the best fighter in the spotrt, period!
Lol sonnens a moron if he can't see that fight went exactly how silva wanted, he won't need more than 2 rds to finish him this time, watch the anderson silva movie if anyone disagrees he tells noguiera that he's gonna submit him, an dana wanted an exciting performance, its not a coincidence that sonnen could take anderson down, anderson let him an dumb ass sonnen played right into his hands
Hahah it's bullshit, but even if it was true Anderson won't need 5 rounds, cause he will KTFO Sonnen in one if he really wants to. But I think he will toy with him and beat him up for 5 rounds and then KO him at the end of the 5th.
Sonnen will retire or drop down in weight after the fight, cause no way he will ever hold that belt as long as Silva has it.
Believe in Sonnen. Im trying to. 100% healthy anderson silva is untouchable. No im not kidding, maybe im jinxing him but nobody can touch this guy if hes 100% sorry sonnen but those punchs u threw were nice buttttt try doing standup and juking around with cracked ribs all im saying….WAR SONNEN but ill porbably wake up seeing "The Spider extends winning streak"
i think this guy has said andersons name more than andersons wife and mistresses have.
lol. I think he prob. dreams of saying it like they do (bent over)
I want Anderson to shut this fucking tool up BUT…..
does any of you get that vibe that its going to be some wierd contravercial decision to chael and it ruins silva?
I think if Sonnen actually pulls it off it may ruin Silva. I dunno about this fight going to decision though. But then again, it is MMA and anything can happen.
well he didnt finish anderson last time, nearly did but didnt pull it off. if it had gone to decision he would have won easily
anderson was lucky chael got cockey and made a mistake
dont get me wrong im sure andersons game was to lure him in as he wanted to do what he said he would do and submit chael but he was lucky to get it right at the end
well see, im so hyped for this fight.
I guess all you silva d riders missed the first four rounds of the first fight. lol chael > anderson i could care less what you have to say.
Chael is on point! He won't be able to handle 3 let alone 5 rounds with the CHAELMONSTER! I see an arm triangle choke in Andy's future! Watch it happen..Andy is scared guarantee it! Make your lil now boys and watch it all crumble sao poalo..
Chael is a good fighter but he is the most disrespectful ass wipe in MMA history,it is ok to make jokes and try to get under someone skin,but chael has gone too far,I hope he makes history by becoming the first fighter to get tko and fucking retire from it.I can care less to see him again,the only reason people are buying is because we wan to see Anderson Silva retire him
Hi sitting there like at any moment a new testicle going to pop out.
I really don't get how people call A. Silva (The greatest fighter ever). Silva obviously sucks at wrestling. Which makes him the second greatest fighter ever. GSP is the only fighter that excels in every discipline.A.Silva excels only in Muay Thai and BJJ. GSP is really the Greatest fighter today..

In this week's episode, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and her mama June look for a pig with "pizzazz." It's unclear what purpose the pig will serve, but it probably won't be flattering.

Doubts emerge about D.C.'s ability to execute transportation projects
- (Photo: flickr/talkingdc)
The D.C. Council worries that the District Department of Transportation may be moving forward with not exactly breathtaking speed. The feared sluggishness stands in stark contrast to the ambitious sustainability vision that Mayor Vince Gray outlined recently, which called for three of every four trips to be car-free in 20 years. The Council has worried over the progress with streetcar contracts before, and now faces pressure of an approaching deadline — the first 2.5-mile line is expected to begin next year. Yesterday talk of delays emerged again, as Councilmember Tommy Wells pointed out an instance in which the department received bids back in October and even now, seven months later, haven't secured a contract.
"We haven't even been able to award the contract!" Wells said to DDOT Director Terry Bellamy yesterday in a hearing on the department's 2013 budget.
"We are very confident if we can get it through this next Council hearing," Bellamy answered ultimately. The proposed contract in question had apparently gone back and forth between DDOT and the office of the attorney general for awhile.
But Wells, as in the past, expressed concern that DDOT doesn't cut corners and begins the streetcar network in the right way.
"We don't want an arbitrary date where we launch the streetcar if it's not ready," Wells said. "I strongly support the mayor's direction [in his overall ambitious initiatives] … but I don't see the government able to execute very well. The government is not executing at a level we would expect."
Others reiterated concerns over the streetcar progress. Meg Maguire of the Committee of 100 told the Council that the way DDOT has handled the H Street/Benning Road Line has been "fueling significant public skepticism" about its abilities.
The recent confusion over the Red Top Parking Meters inspired similar confusion and frustration with how the project was managed. But the biggest doubts concerned the government's pace. These delays manifested in many forms throughout the Council budget hearing. Why hadn't the District begun a new program targeting bike thefts? A delay in transferring money. Other witnesses had testified about vacant positions in the department that needed to be filled — "important positions," Neha Bhatt, chair of the Pedestrian Advisory Council, said to the Council. She wondered whether DDOT should have "hard deadlines" for filling them, with "escalating penalties to the agency if it can't get done." DDOT staff attempted to restore confidence by describing where the agency was in the hiring process. Luckily the city's new parking manager began Monday — it's a critical position that's needed to be filled for months now. Bicycling advocates also had worried over the slow pace of bike lane implementation last year, which ran contrary to stated plans. Is it perhaps a consequence of the department's broad responsibilities? DDOT handles everything from biking to roads to car-sharing to streetcars to pedestrian issues.
"We need an explanation of why it takes all these months to transfer money," Councilmember Mary Cheh remarked from the dais.
"We're living up to the reputation of how people say government works," Wells noted.
"Or doesn't," Cheh replied.
Wells chuckled wryly. "That's right."

Bowsher play is student drivenWritten by Hannah Nusser | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For Bowsher High School senior Chelsie Cree, writing a manuscript during the summer was just something to pass the time. She never thought her just-for-fun play would end up on stage — and that she'd be running the show.
"Falling" is a completely student-driven production debuting at Bowsher High School, 2200 Arlington Ave., on Nov. 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Cree, who's been involved with Bowsher theater since her sophomore year, oversaw the creative process while friend and 2010 graduate Erica Lockard wrote the dialogue for the two-act play.
"I thought it was just something to write and something to do, to actually finish a project that I'd been thinking about," Cree said. "I didn't realize that it would turn into the fall play for Bowsher. I did not expect that at all."
The department was looking for a fall production, Cree said, so she approached them with her play idea and they were eager to read the script.
"I went home [and] called Erica excited saying, 'Oh my goodness, they want it, they want to see it,'" she said.
Cindy Harrison, Bowsher theater teacher and adviser, said she was immediately impressed.
"There were some very clever things and I thought a lot of kids might be able to identify and relate to things going on in the show," she said.
"Falling" follows a closeknit group of friends as they endure changes and hardships their senior year. The characters represent all the typical high school niches, Cree said, like jocks, preps, nerds and cheerleaders.
BHS students and recent grads are running every aspect of the show from promotions and marketing to set design, lighting and, of course, the acting. Jason Jones, a recent Bowsher graduate, is the technical director and Scott McGorty, a 2010 grad, is the media coordinator for the show. Student members of DECA, an international marketing program, are using posters and fliers to spread the word.
The play was funded through donations and the school's theater department fund. Because most of the dialogue takes place amid everyday activities, the show's sets and costumes are minimal.
"It's an opportunity for the audience to create what they see," Cree said.
"Falling" represents a strong sense of morality, she said, and she hopes audience members leave with a new perspective on friendship and forgiveness.
"There are some twists and turns that the show takes," Cree said. "There's so much more than just what's said."
Tragedy rips the group apart when one character becomes terminally ill. But it's not all tears and tragedy.
"There's a swordfight in the hallway for goodness sakes," Cree said. "There are very funny things that also happen within the show. We could be at the most dramatic moment of the show and somebody will crack a joke."
Senior Emerencia Dudas, who plays sassy cheerleader Miranda, said rehearsals run smoothly despite the absence of an adult director.
"Surprisingly everybody listens," Dudas said. "Everybody's very respectful. We know how important it is to make it as good as it needs to be, so we all put our best foot forward."
Tickets are $7 at the door and admission is free for senior citizens.

Weekend Restos
- j
- jason
I'm visiting Montreal this weekend ( staying at the Ritz, any comments ) and have reservations at Ferraria Cafe Trattoria and Le Pied de Cochon for dinner Sat. and Sun. respectively. I was on the fence for others also- Area, Milos, Toque. I tend toward seafood when out and will definetely not be ordering organ meat or game- nothing against I just don't -so I don't want to spend money on a restaurant that shines in that area. Are the choices I made going to disappoint? Should I look at others or maybe visit them for lunch?
Also, I'm fom DC and even the best restos are business casual. Very few have coat and tie requirments anymore. Is it the same in Montreal?
Thanks for the tips
The ritz has lovely common areas, but the rooms are a bit outdated unfortunately. Café Ferriera is an excellent choice for seafood...portugese. Au Pied de Cochon, on the other hand, excells at game dishes. There is some seafood on the menu, but this time of year, it is a limited selection. If you scroll down to the posts re the restaurant, you might get a better feel for it. You might want to consider an alternative though if you know for certain that you would not be tempted to have game. Hope you enjoy your trip!
re: OMalley
I think you might be right on. Any thoughts on other seafood leaning spots? Area? maybe Greek? We have Italian out the Wazoo here but I can eat Italian anytime.
re: jason
I'm from Alexandria and was just in Montreal a few weeks ago. (Do I know you? :D) To my knowledge, there are three main markets in Montreal, plus a handful of smaller neighborhood-y ones. The three main ones are:
7075 Casgrain ave
Location: South of Jean-Talon, between Casgrain and Henri-Julien
Metro: DeCastelneau or Jean-Talon
138 Atwater
Location: between Ville-Marie and Notre-Dame
Metro: Lionel-Groulx
4445 Ontario Est
Location: between Pie IX and Viau
Metro: Pie IX
My husband and I went to Atwater and *loved* it. I would say that it was a very clean, French version of Eastern Market, with produce stalls outside and deli/cheese places inside. (No funky homemade soaps and african art outside, though. :D)
We didn't bother buying any produce - I didn't see anything totally out of the ordinary that we couldn't get at any of our local farmer's markets here in the DC area (but, then, I didn't look too hard). And I also didn't know what kind of restrictions we'd have on bringing produce back with us. But, we did buy *lots* of cheese, particularly at the Fromagerie Atwater.
We didn't make it to the other markets. I am told that Jean-Talon is the best. If that's the case, then it must be wonderful, as we thought that Atwater was pretty good. :)
Across the street from Atwater is a brand new (I believe) SAQ store - the state-owned wine/spirits store. If you're a wine person, I'd recommend stopping by there. Great selection. (Not to be confused with the smaller SAQ actually at the Atwater market, which I think focuses on stuff native to Quebec, but don't quote me on that.)
Also, re seafood, if you're into mussels and you're in Old Montreal, Le Petit Moulinsart does wonderful things with mussels (a tip from the Chowhounds here, which I tried myself!). It's a belgian-style place, with lots of pictures of Tin-Tin everywhere.
And, for what it's worth, my husband and I went to Toque' and ordered the tasting menu. Our first course was fish, plus our amuse-bouches were shellfish (oyster and scallop, to be precise). All raw, though. Dunno if you're into that. It was good, though. And I believe I saw some seafood on the menu there.
Have fun!

re: Patti
The restrictions on importing produce and other foodstuffs into the US from Canada are not very strict (or at least strictly enforced). I've crossed the border with all kinds of meat (including legs of lamb, sausages and foie gras), cheese (including raw-milk cheeses it would be illegal to sell in the States) and much produce, all of which I've declared, and have never encountered a problem. Three food-related no-nos: citrus; plants (or anything else) in soil; and anything excluded under various treaties relating to endangered spieces (certain plants, ivory, etc.). Seeds for planting may also attract unwanted attention, though most are not illegal as far as I know.
re: carswell
This is excellent information. Wish I had it before my trip! :)
We drove to/from Canada, so encountered customs inspections in our car at the border between Quebec and New York state. They didn't ask us about cheese or meat, so we didn't volunteer that we had any. And, here I thought I was getting away with bringing cheese back, especially - as you did - the raw milk cheese. But, then, just to spoil my fun (of thinking I'd just gotten away with something illegal), I went to my local Whole Foods grocery store (a nationwide chain of high-end purveyors of finer foods, including a *vast* selection of international and local artisanal cheese) and found about 90% of the cheeses I brought back with me from Marche' Atwater, INCLUDING the raw milk cheeses!
So, I'm not sure what's going on here in the good ol' U.S. of A., but either they've repealed their ban on raw milk products or they're just not enforcing it (we have bigger fish to fry, I guess). Whole Foods had a very good selection of unpasteurized/raw milk cheeses, one of which I purchased and am enjoying quite a bit (Comte, from France, which tastes a little like Emmanthaler/Swiss, complete with holes, though not very many).
I was *so* nervous driving through customs. The chap who "interviewed" us actually said, though, "most people don't realize that it's usually not a problem to bring stuff into the U.S. - you just need to *tell* us about it."
re: jason
For consumers, the Jean-Talon Market and the Atwater Market are the best. (Chefs, green grocers, etc. tend to shop at the Marché Central very, very early in the morning.) The Atwater Market is attractive above all for its stores: the two cheese shops, the butcher's and the gourmet shop "Les délices du Marché." The Jean-Talon Market is my favourite for several reasons:
- the feel--the amazing bustle, the press of flesh
- the size--on a summer Saturday morning just touring the open-air stalls (not buying anything) will take 30 minutes
- the customers--an ethnic mix unmatched in the city and brought together by a shared love of food and bargains
- the selection and quality of the produce
- the surrounding stores--Fromagerie Hamel, one of the city's best cheese shops (try their signature Maroilles, ripened in their cellars and washed twice a week with Maudite Belgian-style brown ale); numerous butchers; two bread bakeries; cafes; a dozen green grocers including Chez Louis, with products rarely if ever found elsewhere in the city (ratte potatoes, cardoons, exotic fruits, baby vegetables, several varieties of wild mushrooms, strange lettuces, micro-arugula, fresh truffles, fresh bay leaves, etc.); a fascinating store devoted to Quebec food products; a pretty good fish market; etc.
- and it's real trump card over the Atwater Market, the surrounding neighbourhood: Little Italy with countless cafes, pizzerias, espresso bars and restaurants; Milano, the great Italian supermarket; Dante Hardware, specializing in kitchen supplies and hunting rifles (go figure); the city's best Italian pastry shop (on Dante across from the church; their "lobster tails" are to die for); an Italian bookstore; shops devoted to Italian cheeses, charcuteries and pasta; etc. Several shops catering to Asian clients have popped up in recent years too (e.g. on the corner of Jean-Talon and St-Denis).
The problem this time of year is that the market per se is a mere shadow of its summer self, with the rows of outdoor stalls and many dozens of farmers being replaced by a cramped winter enclosure and maybe 20 vendors. And, of course, most of the produce on offer is imported (the flawless cauliflowers so big you have to carry them with both arms will be long gone). Still, the surrounding shops are there, as is Little Italy.
Another foodie hot spot is Laurier Street, especially east and west of Park Ave. Several bakeries, Anjou-Québec (French gourmet butcher that also sells cheeses, sweets, a small selection of produce, prepared dishes, condiments), Laurier Gourmand (cheeses, coffees, gourmet packaged goods like olive oils, honeys, baking chocolate, vinegars, mustards, capers, cookies, etc.), Pâtisserie de Gascogne (maybe the city's best pastry shop), an SAQ Signature, coffee bars, cafes, chocolateries and restos galore. If you schlepp to the east end of the street, between Christophe-Colombe and Papineau, you can visit the fabulous organic bakery Le Fromentier (where Toqué! gets its bread) and the Queue de Cochon, one of the city's more interesting charcuteries. At 1218 Bernard West, a few blocks north of Laurier, is the best French cheese shop on the continent: Les fromages Pierre-Yves Chaput. It was the sainted Mr. Chaput who single-handedly foiled the Health Canada food nazis and brought raw milk cheeses to the country. He continues to offer an exquisite selection of lovingly ripened artisanal and farmhouse cheeses from France and Quebec. His store looks--and smells!--like no other. Customers are waited on one at a time at a table, not a counter, the cheeses being stored in floor-to-ceiling wood-framed, glass-fronted coolers that run along a wall: it's almost a consultation and usually involves a tasting session, with questions encouraged. Definitely worth a visit if cheese is your thing.
re: carswell
What a great post! I'm foaming at the mouth to visit the Chaput cheese shop. I always thought Hamel alone was worth the six hour drive to Montreal, but this place sounds like nirvana.
re: Kitty
Thanks, Kitty.
Chaput's stuff is in a class by itself. (A French-French friend of mine refuses to buy cheese--even Chaput cheese--anywhere else because it never tastes as good.) The thing to bear in mind, though, is that the store's selection is small: I'd guess it has only 30-40 cheeses on offer at any given moment (Hamel has 400), only half of which are ready for eating. They're almost exclusively French, too, and most are farmhouse cheeses, artisanal cheeses being too commercial for Chaput! In recent years, he has expanded his offer with a small selecton of Quebec raw-milk cheeses made to his specifications (mostly goat's milk but there's also a knock-out cow's milk Vacherin).
Agree with everything O'Malley says, though would add the following about Le Pied de Cochon: while it's true there's less seafood on offer now than during the summer, the menu's not devoid of fishy options (salmon, tuna and mackerel were main courses in late September; oysters, squid, shrimp, smoked fish and brandade--salt cod, garlic and potato purée--are among the recurring starters). Also, there's lamb, duck and pork as well as risotto and pasta. And the venison is all farm-raised and killed in government slaughterhouses, meaning it doesn't taste gamey in the slightest. One note of caution: whereever you eat on Sunday, the fish will not be at its absolute freshest; fish delivery dates are usually Tuesday and Thursday.
Milos is a pretty safe bet but it's expensive and the staff can be snooty, especially if they decide you aren't a big spender type. If you go, don't miss the grilled and marinated octopus (meltingly tender, hauntingly smoky) and the plate of real tzatziki (made with yogurt, not sour cream) surrounded by tempura-like fried zucchini, eggplant and hard cheese. A more affordable option is Faros on Fairmount just west of du Parc; the menu is very similar to Milos's, the cooking (octopus excepted) is every bit as good and the décor is homey and intimate compared with Milos's bustling and airy space.
With the possible exception of Toqué!, business casual is fine at the places you mention. For some reason, I've always worn a coat and tie to Toqué!, and it seems to me most other men were dressed similarly. Ferraria is chic but not formal, Le Pied de Cochon more come-as-you-are (jeans OK).
