West Seattle Crime Watch: Robbery arrests; hit-run; car prowlJuly 23, 2010 at 11:47 am | In Crime, West Seattle news | 12 Comments
Three items in West Seattle Crime Watch this noontime. First, new details on the California/Andover mini-mart armed robbery reported here early this morning. According to Det. Mark Jamieson in the SPD media unit, the description given by the victim helped officers catch the alleged culprits at Delridge/Orchard – they pulled over a white pickup truck with four males inside (the victim had said two got out of the truck and robbed the store, just before midnight). Det. Jamieson says two suspects were arrested and booked into jail, while the other two were "interviewed and released"; he also confirms that a handgun was found in the truck. Meanwhile, two WSB'er reports have come in this morning – one, a woman looking for the hit-run driver who struck her as she crossed the street this morning; second, a car prowl – read on:
First, the hit-run. Karisse has reported it to police but wants to find the driver:
I was at the intersection of 35th and Avalon by 7-11 this morning at approx. 7:55am. I started to cross the street when the "walk" sign was on, and was hit by a gray Honda Civic-like car, trying to turn right. I screamed, and was able to break my fall on his hood, but half landed on his hood. When I stood up, the driver asked is I was OK, and I said, "I think so. But I'm really freaked out." He said, "Me too", and then drove off. I didn't have time to ask for his information or anything. There was a witness from the other end of the crosswalk, but she wasn't able to get his license plate #. I was very shaken up on the bus ride into downtown, and have a few scrapes on my arms. And now, about a half hour later, my neck and shoulder on the side he hit me are really starting to hurt.
I thought maybe you could do a post to warn people to pay more attention to pedestrians, but also, in case the man who hit me has any remorse, and reads your blog, I would like his information.
Please don't e-mail us, as we can't mediate, but if you were that driver, we'd suggest you contact police; you could also leave a comment with your contact info. Meantime, from Brian:
My car was rifled through last night at 35th and Thistle. Nothing was stolen, just my car paperwork all over the front seat. Probably amazed at my massive organizational skills. I keep nothing of value in my vehicles so I'm not too distraught at the moment, just a tad violated. One thing the fellow left for me were cigarette ashes on my driver seat and a rank, smokey smell.
12 Comments
Our cars and at least 2 neighbors had the same thing happen as Brian. We are on 38th and Myrtle.

Drivers are consistently in a rush, aren't paying attention, and don't care if they hurt someone or not. I was walking up Avalon at around 7:45 this morning and saw a young woman heading down the hill come within a few inches of running down a guy walking his dog trying to cross the street. He yelled and waved his arms and she did the look straight ahead tunnel vision "if I pretend I don't see you then you're not really there" thing that so many drivers are so fond of.

Austin – I'm a driver. I'm not always in a rush. I do my best to pay attention. And I would care if I hurt you. Just wanted you to know that.

This might be a long shot, but I wonder if 7-11 might have had a security cam trained in that direction.
It likely would not have been able to pick up a plate number, but maybe a decent enough shot of the car (and ideally the driver as well), to aid in identifying?

If you are ever, ever hit by a car call 911 immediately for exactly this reason. You may not at first think you are hurt, but after the adrenaline wears off it becomes apparent that getting hit by a vehicle does damage even at a lower rate of speed. You should make a police report immediately, after the fact and give them as much description as possible. Since people are creatures of habit, staking out that intersection at around the same time of day might be a good idea.

Was it really a 'hit and run'? It sounds like after you told him you thought you were ok he simply drove off; were there vehicles waiting to turn, lined up behind his car? He might not feel that he has anything to be remorseful about if he doesn't know that you have injuries.
I teach my young son to look all ways even though we have 'the walk' and to make eye contact with drivers, if possible.

Seattle Municipal Code 11.56.450 requires a motorist who collides with a pedestrian to stop and provide his or her name, address, insurance information and vehicle license information to the pedestrian. The rule applies regardless of whether the person is injured. Violation is a misdemeanor, I believe.
Comment by waterworld — 5:39 pm July 23, 2010 #
If you hit someone it's your obligation to report the accident and if you leave the scene it's hit and run, even if the person who was hit said, "I'm ok." Bottom line, he hit someone with enough force to knock the person off her feet and onto the hood of the car. I find it also amazing that there must have been witnesses at this intersection who saw it and NO ONE called 911! NO ONE?! She needs to file a police report ASAP. Otherwise there is no record of the accident. Even if she never finds out who it was, it's good to report things like this so the city can track where people are getting hit!
The operator of any vehicle involved in an accident with a pedestrian, or w/a device propelled by human power operated by any person, or on which a person is seated, shall do the following:
A. Immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of such accident, or as close thereto as possible, and forthwith return to and remain at the scene of such accident until he has done the following;
B. Give his or her name, address, insurance company, insurance policy number, and vehicle license number, and exhibit his or her operator's license to the pedestrian or person operating the device propelled by human
power, or, if they are unconscious or incompetent, to another person whom he or she reasonably believes is acting on their behalf; and
C. Render to any person involved in such accident reasonable assistance including the carrying or the making of arrangements for the carrying of such person to a physician or hospital for medical treatment if it is
apparent that such treatment is necessary or if such carrying is requested by the person involved in the accident or on his or her behalf. Under no circumstances shall the rendering of assistance or other compliance with the provisions of this section be evidence of the liability of any operator for such accident.

Sorry all, I should have jumped in sooner. I did ask the victim if she reported it to the police – we always ask that before posting. She said she did, though after busing to work.
(My last post on this)
I hope Karisse is feeling better.
She was able to break her fall on his hood and half landed on his hood. Was she bowled over or did she catch her balance by placing a hand on his
hood? It's subjective.
It was rush hour so I'm sure someone will have witnessed this hit and run.
I walk as much as I drive. I've seen pedestrians do some rash things; even when having 'the walk'. (I've witnessed two cyclists get hit, that was awful!) Where I see the most trouble is when walkers have on iPods and are oblivious to traffic or have the attitude of 'They HAVE to stop for me, I'm walking. I've also seen a false claim of injury that really affected an innocent driver.
Anyway, I hope it all ends well.

Glad they caught the culprits in the California/Andover minimart robbery… this is the second time those nice folks have been robbed! Good work!
Comment by Elisabeth — 10:19 pm July 23, 2010 #
RG, vehicles DO have to stop when a person is crossing a street with a walk signal. Jaywalking is another matter, but the pedestrian is very clear in this case, she had the walk signal, the car had to stop and didn't. My gosh, he HIT her, and "half landed on his hood," how exactly are you excusing the driver again?

WFO BTV Top 10 Weather Events of 2000 to 2009
6.) July 9th-11th 2007 Duxbury VT Hail and Widespread Flooding in Barre VT
On the morning of Monday 9 July 2007 residents began hearing the first reports of severe weather across Essex and Franklin counties. This was the beginning of one of the more active three day stretches of severe weather across Vermont and northern New York in many years. This event included large and destructive hail from severe thunderstorms on July 9-10, to devastating flash flooding on July 11. Millions of dollars in damage occurred as a direct result.

The unusual set-up focused along a nearly stationary surface frontal boundary draped across the northern New York into Vermont, separating hot and humid air to the immediate southwest from cooler air across Northern New England. The flow aloft showed several embedded disturbances in the jet stream winds, helping in the development of severe thunderstorms with very heavy downpours.
Some highlights of the 3 day outbreak include: Hail the size of tomatoes occurred at Duxbury, Vermont (See figure 6-1 for hail pictures near Duxbury, VT), while quarter size hail was reported in Duane Center, New York on the evening of 9 July 2007.

On 10 July 2007 a mini supercell tracked from East Charleston to Morgan, Vermont during the late afternoon hours. This was clearly the strongest storm of the day, with a pronounced deep high-reflectivity core (greater than 60 dBZ) above 25,000 feet. Thunderstorm wind gusts to 60 mph produced tree damage and scattered power outages across northern Vermont.
By 11 July 2007 the threat switched from mainly severe weather to the potential for flash flooding. A strong surface cold front interacting with plenty of low level moisture from previous day's storms produced localized very heavy rainfall across central and eastern Vermont. As thunderstorms began to train along the eastern slopes of the Green Mountains, Flash Flood Warnings were issued for Windsor, Caledonia and Washington Counties on 11 July 2007. The one hour precipitation estimates from the KCXX (Burlington, VT) radar at the height of the event around 2 pm produced rainfall amounts in excess of 3 inches.

As the afternoon progressed, training thunderstorms continued to develop northward, affecting much of western Orange, and eastern Washington, Lamoille and Orleans counties. The heavy rains resulted in severe flooding across the area as streams and small rivers quickly became swollen. For example, the Ayers Brook in Randolph, recorded a peak water level of 9.55 ft, good for 3rd place on their crest history, ranking behind only the 1927 flood and an event in June 1998.
Numerous roads were reported to be flooded and damaged. Particularly hard hit was the city of Barre where a local state of emergency was declared when the main part of town became submerged under several feet of water. See image 6-3 below for damage near Barre. In nearby Williamstown, over 100 people were evacuated from their homes. Certainly the three day period of July 9-11, 2007 will be remembered as one of the more noteworthy severe weather episodes in the past 10 years.

Procurement projects are posted whenever an institution is looking to acquire goods or services for a certain project. Procurement projects are usually quite big and buyers spend a lot of money for them. Such projects could be anything from printing services to providing office supplies for institutions' needs. To get the best deal with a supplier, buyers usually hold a tendering process involving a lot of filtering stages to select and scrutinize the tender suppliers.
Indonesia-based Pengadaan.net was launched last week to help connect buyers and suppliers more easily. Pengadaan boasts information about 100,000 procurement projects across Indonesia, which should be very useful for suppliers out there. We talked with Aris Prasetyo, from the startup's business development division about the startup's origin and how they could gather so much information.
Aris first noted that there are other websites out there using the same name but at different web domains. The company was founded in mid-2012 to become a one-stop destination for all procurement stakeholders in Indonesia. The startup was created to address the challenge faced by suppliers in collecting the latest procurement information from different institutions and provinces in Indonesia.
The website lists project information sorted by province, e-procurements, project categories, estimated project value, and projects from private institutions. Pengadaan.net lists further details regarding each project, such as the maximum budget, or other requirements. The project budgets listed on the site are worth between IDR 500 million ($52,000) to IDR 1 billion ($104,000)
Pengadaan is developed by the StarDev Indonesia team in Malang. They look up and collect publicly available information, and also receive submissions via its site. Pengadaan implements a freemium model to earn revenue. To make sure that everyone can access the information, the service also provides widgets which can be used on other websites.
The service is free to be used by anyone, but premium members will get to receive a daily email notification about the latest procurement projects posted, according to customized criteria. The team believes that it is crucial to receive the latest project information as fast as possible, which should make this model work. They are looking to explore other revenue models in the future, but it depends on the progress of Pengadaan.net itself. Premium membership costs IDR 100,000 ($10.40) per month or IDR 550,000 ($57.23) for a six-month subscription.
Pengadaan.net doesn't have any investors. The site has a mobile site instead of apps. He said that the team might consider building native apps for various platforms in the future. But for now, the team will focus on the current stage of web development and database-buildinging activities.

Going with the Flow
|Formost Fuji is testing a chevron-type seal for four-side-seal packaging.
Medical device manufacturers (MDMs) continue to seek cost reductions. Viable solutions involve reducing material and labor costs. To drive down costs per package, some companies are turning to flexible packaging automation that can change the process flow for high-volume products.
Many MDMs have typically used what Keith Knox, U.S. technical sales representative, pharmaceutical/medical, for Formost Fuji Corp., calls "pods" to package products such as syringes, tubing, medical kits, and IV bags. In these pods, MDMs often set up multiple tables with operators assembling medical devices and hand loading packages, such as bagging and sealing. "Operators are touching products multiple times, utilizing header bags or pouches. Fewer touches amount to reduced costs, so MDMs are considering automating many processes. However, manufacturers may have fragile or uniquely shaped devices for which automation may be difficult," he says.
For automation, a package redesign is often involved. Options include using form-fill-seal (FFS) packaging, flow wrapping, and four-side-seal packaging (4SS).
Formost Fuji has been testing medical device packaging options on its flow wrappers and four-side-seal machines using films with Tyvek vents (patch) from Amcor Flexibles. (Tyvek is provided by DuPont Medical Packaging.) The firm also has experience running and performing additional testing of film with a Tyvek strip.
Leveraging film coextrusion, resin-based peel systems, and breathable vents, Amcor offers a range of Tyvek vented peelable films that are designed to run on a wide range of FFS and 4SS equipment with consistent seal strengths over a wide temperature range and a contaminant-free peel, reports Michael Barr of Amcor.
Amcor can incorporate the Tyvek vents in a variety of materials, depending on the application requirements and sterilization methods. The higher film/film seal strengths achieved with a vented film/film pack are ideal for large pack configurations, such as FFS top webs for large kits or procedure packs.
Barr reports that Amcor is the first to introduce a range of vented films for high-speed flow wrap applications undergoing EtO or autoclave sterilization. Previously, MDMs could only consider flow wrap packaging for gamma sterilization applications or non-sterilized applications, the company reports. Customers are currently requesting vented flow wrap for CSR wrapped gowns and drapes and other medical devices not requiring aseptic presentation.
To help MDMs understand potential processes, Formost Fuji runs samples at its Seattle facility, videotapes the process, and sends samples back to the customer for testing. The firm recently ran clinical masks that are typically packaged in bulk but were a candidate for flow wrapping given end-user interest in individually packaged single-use masks. Although bulk business continues to be strong, there is continued interest in the market for a single-use individually wrapped mask.
|Formost Fuji's solution for flow wrapping syringes and other medical devices features a Tyvek strip.
There are substantial costs to making a package and validation change, says Knox. "It could be $250,000 and up. But it can make sense financially, given proper evaluation of the manufacturing and packaging process combined with an analysis of material and labor cost."
Formost Fuji offers qualification and validation assistance and works with film suppliers, such as Amcor. "When going to automation, the customer needs to keep in mind the heat resistance of the outside layer of the material," reports Barr. "Higher heat resistance allows the machines to run faster because they can run at a higher sealing temperature and shorter dwell time. This allows customers to increase production speeds and achieve an overall packaging system cost savings. This is particularly important for flow wrap equipment with line speeds of 100-200 cycles/minute. Amcor offers extrusion-coated sealant technologies for high-speed flow wrap applications."
Barr adds that "when transitioning from preformed pouches or bags to automated
|Sidebar: Barrier Materials for Flow Wrapping
packaging, the MDM should also look for materials that deliver consistent seal strengths over a wide temperature range to accommodate variations in equipment type and equipment age, in addition to operator training."
Opening features of flow-wrapped packages have typically differed from those of header bags, pouches, and even FFS packages. "Flow wrappers create fin seals and end seals and typically involve one material web with or without a Tyvek vent or strip, whereas pouches, FFS packages, 4SS packages, and bags often have top and bottom webs or components, and often employ a porous material," says Knox.
For sterilized devices, the decision between flow wrapping and FFS equipment has typically been dependent on whether aseptic presentation is required as part of the opening feature, Barr says. "In the past, flow wrap has not been able to offer this feature. Recently, flow wrap machine companies [Formost Fuji] have introduced flow wrap equipment that incorporates a peel seal, thus allowing aseptic presentation."
Explains Knox: "We can add easy opening features to the end seals of our flow wrappers, such as notch, tear strip, or another method to make it easy for the end-user to open."
Knox says he has seen some consider flow wrapping and 4SS packaging as an alternative to thermoform-fill-seal. Four-side-seal packaging works for flat or low profile devices, whereas flow wrapping is appropriate for medical devices with low to medium profiles. "FFS works with heavier-gauge films," he says, as well as for packages that require full widths of Tyvek. A flow wrapper can be a good solution to reduce the heavier-gauge film and Tyvek material cost plus less waste of materials."
Flow wrap offers the advantage of lower capital investment and reduced tooling costs compared to FFS equipment, reports Barr. The incorporation of a peel seal in flow wrapping equipment will contribute to its increased popularly in the future.
For its 4SS machine, Formost Fuji is testing films with Tyvek vents (patch) (mentioned earlier) as well as film-to-film packages with a chevron seal to obtain the opening benefits of pouches.
Four-side-seal equipment tends to be not as wide as FFS machines and are primarily used for flat products, adds Barr. The primary growth area for 4SS packs has been in pharmaceutical applications requiring a moisture barrier, such as oral-dissolve strips or transdermal patches, he says. ■

I just want to know that where to put the business logic either in
beans or in database stored procedures. As i discussed with some of my friends from different companies; they suggested me to put in stored database procedures due to precompiled procedures irrespective of single queries, less databse hits etc... Please guide me regarding the same

Get a new set of friends.
I inherited an application where most of the business logic was in stored procedures. It's horrible. Here's why:
First and foremost, stored procedures are notoriously vendor-specific. Even Oracle and PostgreSQL stored procedures require some conversion to run on their opposite numbers and those are 2 databases that have more in common than almost any other. You may be
that you'll never run on anything but SQL server, but one day your boss may come and say "we got a good deal on hosting this app on Linux. How hard will it be to make it run under MySQL?".
Stored procedures execute on the database server. Often a single database server may back a dozen or more application servers. Database server boxes are generally pretty powerful, but do you really want work that could be spread out over a dozen machines all be forced to execute on the database box? Will your DBA come and kill you if you do? Will the CIO?
When you code an app with application logic in more than one place, it frequently degenerates into a treasure hunt. There's no "one stop shopping" for code. You have to determine which of 2 codesets in which of 2 languages you're dealing with and you may have complex interactions between the two.
Stored procedure code is a maintenance issue. It's likely that your IDE doesn't allow stored procedures to be edited as easily as native code processes can be.
Source archiving and redistribution can be a MAJOR issue. DBMS's don't generally provide good support for keeping the stored procedure source code in a traditional version control system. And I've run into serious problems when people send me a zip file of "source code" and half the source code isn't there (because it's in someone's database locked up in their datacenter).
Stored procedures have some very important uses. But power lack that needs to be used judiciously.
An IDE is no substitute for an Intelligent Developer.

Thanks TIM for your explanation of your point of view
I agree with your point of view, even the source code of stored procedure is also open to the client if we give our DB script but this will not be the case for java .war/.ear/etc files. The client can modify the DB script of their own if he gots the source code in DB script.
but what you think about the following case:
suppose there is a button in your
.... and when you click on that button, i want to perform the following tasks in database:
Task 1: I want to fetch some data from the table1 on basis of some conditions.
Task 2: now i want to insert some of the extracted data in table2 (based on some condition)
Task 3: and some of the data in table3(based on some conditions)
Task 4: now if table2 and table3 are successfully inserted, then i want to update some status in a particular row in table4
So if i do the same in java then i have to do at least 4 Database Hits; one for each task (Since different DB tables play role in this, so i can't do the same in single query and also need some conditional logic)
I can do the same with only one database hit by calling the stored procedure (and the stored procedure will perform all my tasks that i defined earlier)
please consider the above scenario in WEB application where AS is on different server and the DB is on different server.
I agree. Here's the link:

IVF Treatment and the Uterine Lining
IVF treatments is a type of assisted reproductive technology technique which is often used in women who are unable to become pregnant on their own. In this treatment the woman's eggs, or donor eggs, are fertilized with her partner's sperm outside of the body and then transferred into her uterus for pregnancy . This process has been successful in many women, however some women suffer from repeated failed IVF treatments. There have been many identified causes of these failures, a notable one being a thin uterine lining.
Each month during a woman's menstrual cycle, the lining of her uterus becomes thicker in order to be able to support a pregnancy. If the woman does not become pregnant this lining is then shed, which causes menstrual bleeding. However, if a women does become pregnant, this thickened lining becomes essential to her pregnancy success. In some women this thickening process never occurs. Thus, during an IVF cycle when a fertilized egg is transferred the uterine lining is unfavorable for pregnancy and the cycle fails.
Typically, when a woman is diagnosed with a thin lining there are several options for treatment including vitamin E, amino acids, hormonal support, vascular medications and even Viagra. However, the success rates of these treatments is widely variable and often the woman approaches her date for implanting the fertilized egg and yet still does not have enough lining to support a pregnancy. Therefore the IVF cycle is canceled. The frequency of this occurrence is why doctors and researchers have continued to look for better ways to treat women with this condition.
New Research Successful in Thickening the Uterine Lining
Researchers at the infertility center, Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), examined several women who experienced thin uterine linings and were unresponsive to typical treatment options. Each of these women were given a uterine lining perfusion of a drug called granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). After receiving the treatment all of the women experienced adequate thickening within two days and were eligible for embryo transfer. Even more surprisingly, all of these women were able to get pregnant.
"Conventional treatments for inadequate [uterine lining] have had spotty success at best. Without G-CSF perfusion, these patients, likely, would not have reached embryo transfer," explains the Director of Clinical ART at the infertility center CHR, Dr. David Barad. "That all of them also conceived was a big surprise, and is, of course, quite remarkable."
G-CSF is a drug which acts on the body to create and mature stem cells. It is typically used in patients who have received chemotherapy to help them recover faster. The researchers believe that this medication's ability to speed up and encourage new cell production is what caused the uterine lining to thicken.
"The efficacy of G-CSF in improving [uterine lining], and possibly pregnancy rates in general, still needs to be confirmed in randomized controlled trials," adds Norbert Gleicher, MD, lead author of the report and Medical Director of the infertility center CHR. "Indeed, we already started two such trials to test both hypotheses; but until first results become available later in 2011, we caution against over-interpreting results of this small pilot study."
Although the results are preliminary, the message to women who suffer from repeated failed IVF cycle is that there is, indeed, still hope.

The home of Alasundria Avery, 19, at 3150 Metal Street in Shreveport was where Shreveport Police responded to a call at about 4:30 p.m. Friday, regarding a child injury. Denise Avery, 1, was taken to LSU hospital unconscious and unresponsive and later was pronounced dead. Alasundria Avery, the child's mother, was arrested. / Douglas Collier
Alasundria Avery ran to a neighbor's house and called 911 to get help for her year-old daughter.
Next door, the toddler lay in the middle of the living room floor fighting for her life.
"She was on her back with her eyes rolled back, grasping for air," Pamela Thomas said.
Thomas, 30, lives in the 3100 block of Metal Street, in a house next to where Avery and the young child resided with others. "When she ran to my house, I ran to hers and that's when I saw that baby. She wasn't moving, and she had bruises in her face, all around her mouth."
The child, Denise Avery, was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at LSU Hospital in Shreveport Friday evening.
Police later arrested Alasundria Avery, 19 and eight months pregnant with another child, and charged her with second-degree murder in connection with her daughter's death.
The mother initially told police her child suffered from an accidental fall. Police then determined the injuries were consistent with child abuse.
"After interviewing with detectives the mother did admit to striking the child," said Sgt. Jim Taliaferro, spokesman for the Shreveport Police Department. "The injuries were such that (they) caused the death of the child."
Police returned to the house on Monday seeking answers from others at the residence.
At least one unidentified man who was seen at the house around the time Denise Avery was injured was taken to the police station for questioning.
Residents of the house refused to comment.
"When I was going to the house to check on that baby, that guy left before police got there," Thomas said. "Why would he leave there, knowing that baby was hurt like that? I don't even know the child but it hurt me seeing her like that."
Thomas rarely saw the child outside playing, but often heard her crying from inside the home.
"I would always hear people yelling 'be quiet'," Thomas said.
The child was unconscious and breathing when emergency responders arrived, but died about 45 minutes later, authorities said. Police would not elaborate on her injuries, and they declined to say if more arrests are expected.
Denise Avery was the second child to die of suspected child abuse in Shreveport in two days. On Thursday, police found the body of 2-year-old Ja'marsay Summerfield in a storage closet attached to his mother's Cedar Grove residence.
Summerfield was last seen Oct. 7 headed to Texas with relatives of his mother's boyfriend.
The boyfriend, 26-year-old Tristan Anderson, was arrested on pending charges of first-degree murder.
"The death of any child is tough on a community but when you have two deaths in a two-day periodthat has a huge impact," says Trey Williams, spokesman for Louisiana Department of Child and Family Services.
The victims are among a growing number of children who die each year of abuse. It is reported that more than 2,000 children in the United States die of child abuse and neglect each year, according to the National Center for Child Death Review Policy and Practice.
Statistics show that children under 6 years of age account for 86 percent of all child abuse or negligent deaths and infants account for 43 percent of these deaths.
Fathers and mothers' boyfriends are most often the perpetrators in the abuse deaths; mothers are more often at fault in negligence deaths, the center reports.
"I'm a mother myself," Thomas said. "It gets hard sometimes, but never bad enough to hurt my child."

Anchorage may connote darkness and sub-zero temperatures, but warm Pacific currents bless it with a milder climate than more frigid towns like Fairbanks. Summer is the most popular time of year to visit the city, but overcrowding is rarely an issue in a town with fewer than 300,000 residents and so much roaming room.
June sees the longest days of the year with a full 24 hours of daylight on the solstice; locals turn out for the Summer Solstice Festival, one of the season's biggest events, with live music, performances, and an art fair. Temperatures linger in the mid-60s throughout the summer, making Anchorage and its surrounding area a wonderland for light seekers.
The fall is brief in Alaska, and the colors go just as quickly as they come in September. Often, mid-October marks the first snow—and it doesn't stop until after March. Downtown Anchorage receives approximately 70 inches of snow annually, but Girdwood, a satellite community within the municipality, can receive up to 700 inches.
Though the days in December are mind-frayingly dark, there are at least 12 hours of daylight by February. During that month, one of Anchorage's most storied festivals, the Fur Rendezvous, takes place; it hosts everything from hockey tournaments to snowshoe softball games. In March, two other events mark the end of winter: the ceremonial start of the Iditarod and The Tour of Anchorage, a cross-country ski race, both great tastes of Alaskans' wild and gritty spirit.

Bubbles is one of the Powerpuff Girls and is one of the main characters from Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi. She is the sister of Blossom and Buttercup and owner of Courage. She originated from the Cartoon Network series The Powerpuff Girls.
Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi
Bubbles moved along with her sisters to Megaville and attended the Megaville Elementary. After they had a fight with Dexter they were called by Jack who said that since it was their first day he would slip it through his fingers. Bubbles met there a dog called Courage and immediately became friends with him. She took him outside when suddenly she got attacked by the Dread Dragon. Courage called for help and the girls defeated the monster eventually with some help from Jack. Later Bubbles also seemed to became "friends" with Mandy. Bubbles wasn't seen for a while in the story until after the defeat of Mandark. Bubbles was in school always hanging around with her friends Mandy and Gaz and also went to the beach with them. She also joined the dance group in school to become as good in dancing as Olga. During the performance at the science fair she was about to dance when suddenly GIR intruded. Jenny tried to stop him but GIR put a weird machine on her head and Jenny became the portal between the Cluster Zone and Megaville. The invasion began and the girls were battling the Cluster crowd. Bubbles tried to save Olga from one of the Darkstar Councils but got hit by Bell and was knocked out. Bubbles went further with evacuating the people on the science fair. Bubbles and Courage were having a hard time trying to get the door to the safe room to open, since the scientists said they needed someone with a serious amount of muscle and Bubbles is the only one left that has super strength that can do it. When Courage kicked the door and injured his foot Bubbles quickly kicked the door herself and knocked it down because of the door causing Courage's injury. Bubbles looked inside the safe room and saw all of The Central Megaville Skyway Hangar's equipment that the Professor kept in storage, even Dynamo. Bubbles was telling the people to get inside the safe room and Olga wanted to ask Bubbles a favor, but Bubbles was thinking too much about Dexter to respond to Olga's hand in need. Bubbles started to pay attention and started screaming out to Olga. Olga wanted her to go and get Dexter, but Dexter came to her first and told her that they have a serious problem that needs to be taken care of. Bubbles was told by Dexter that he can't keep fighting off the monster and that they need to get the safe room door closed now. Bubbles was having trouble closing the door after she kicked it open, but then the Professor helped her by activating Dynamo. The Cluster monster tried to get in by infecting Dynamo with a virus, which led the Professor to shut her down for a cold boot-up. Bubbles is now the only one responsible for keeping the door closed from the Cluster monster. She was seem using her laser eyes to keep Cluster monster away with Courage. Later, although they were relieved that the Cluster monster fled in fear of the explosion, she became very sad when not only she and the others are going to be demolished by the explosion, but also because her sisters had failed to diffuse the bomb and might have died.
After she knows that she and the others are still alive. She immediately hear Jenny scream. And fly in the stage as fast as she can just to save her. She approach immediately to Jenny and started to help her. While she helping Jenny, she sense Boomer present walking to her direction and started to ask him that what does he want for her. Courage, try to protect Bubbles from Boomer but he adjust him and kiss Bubbles in the cheek. Bubbles was curious when Boomer kiss her in the cheek.
As being the joy and the laughter, Bubbles opens up to the Professor by giggling in the Powerpuff Movie. Bubbles has a tendency to be overemotional, despite the fact of her having a habit to be ditzy, naive and sensitive leading to her sometimes being regarded as the group's weakest link, by friends and foes alike. However, she can become very independent and aggressive, let alone extremely mad when pushed. Out of all the Powerpuff Girls she is the most feared by Mojo Jojo after having single-handedly taken him down in a fit of rage in the episode Bubblevicious.
In Bleedman's comics, Bubbles seems to love dancing very much, she still has her Octi doll and Octi is still her best friend, her signature is still light blue, and she still wears light blue. Bubbles seems to be the girliest out of all of her sisters (except maybe Bunny because we don't know a lot about her). Bubbles has also had friends that are very different from her like Mandy who is violent sometimes and Gaz who is obsessed with video games. Bubbles seems to love puppies like Courage and hamsters like Mr. Snuggles. Bubbles also is the most "innocent" out of all her sisters and seems to be positive most of the time. Bubbles isn't very violent unless pushed. Bubbles doesn't swear. Bubbles also seems have the most friends and least enemies out of her sisters Blossom and Buttercup probably because she is friendly and positive.
Powers and Abilities
Being a Powerpuff Girl, Bubbles is able to use many different powers and abilities. This includes, but not limited to:
- Flight: Like every Powerpuff Girls Bubbles can fly and leaves a blue trail behind in the sky.
- Laser Vision: Also a standard Powerpuff power. Like her flight trail her lasers are blue.
- Energy projection: Able to release a certain amount of energy at the enemy.
- X-ray Vision: Able to see through any material.
- Invulnerability: Able to withstand almost anything in battle.
- Super Speed: Able to run ridiculously fast.
- Enchanted Durability: Like all the Powerpuff Girls she can last in combat for a long period of time.
- Super Hearing: Able to hear from long distances.
- Sonic Scream: Bubbles has mastered this skill and thus has the most destructive version.
- Super Strength: Able to lift objects much bigger and heavier than herself.
Each sister has their own special ability unique to themselves, which in Bubbles's case is her ability to talk to animals, like Courage, and speak multiple languages like Spanish and Japanese. Bubbles' is an excellent Hand-to-Hand combatant, but perfers to keep her distance in most situations. Like the other Powerpuff Girls, Bubbles can survive unaided in space.
In the show Powerpuff Girls, Bubbles has light blue eyes with two blonde pigtails and her hair nicely seperated. She wears a baby blue dress with a black belt, long white socks and Mary Jane shoes. In the Bleedman comics, she wears a blue Megaville uniform that involves a blue skirt and top with red bow attached, which makes up her school uniform which makes up her school uniform. Her regular outfit is the same as her cartoon counterpart, albeit drawn with more detail and accuracy because of her now completely human-like physiology.
Bubbles is a Powerpuff girl , orignally from the cartoon network show, The Powerpuff Girls. In the show she, along with her sisters, were accidently created by Professor Utonium when he added Chemical X to his concotion of Sugar, Spice, and everything nice. They used their special abilities to fight crime and became Townsvilles greatest superheroines. She is portrayed as having short blonde hair in two pigtails and a neat, curved fashion, light blue eyes, and dresses in light blue. The ending theme refers to her as "the joy and laughter", meaning that she is defined by a sweet, cheery, and gentle demeanor. Bubbles is also known as the "cute one" and the baby of the group. Her ingredient is sugar and her signature color is light blue. Her best friend is a stuffed octopus doll she calls "Octi". She lives in Townsville in the original show.
- Bubbles is the only one of her sisters not to have had a pantyshot.
- In the first fight against Dexter Bubbles uses an attack which is the signature of both Guile and Charlie from the Street Fighter series, Sonic Boom.
- Bubbles also cosplayed as Sailor Moon in the early stages of the comic.
- Bubbles doesn't seem to have a crush unlike her sisters. One is in a relationship with Dexter (Blossom) and other one has a crush on Jack (Buttercup).
- Bubbles seem to be closer to Courage than her sisters Blossom and Buttercup.
- Bubbles seems to enjoy dancing and seems to want to be a dancer, making her resemble Dee Dee.
- Bubbles has the most PPGD friends and least enemies out of her sisters.
- Bubbles has changed the least from the show since Blossom has a crush and hangs out with Dexter and Buttercup has a crush on Sensei Jack and hangs out with her fanclub friends.

DECATUR, GA -- When Elizabeth Layburn gazes up from the lawn of her stepson's hundred year old home in Decatur -- she sees the graceful tree canopy that tree lovers across metro Atlanta want to preserve.
But she also sees individual trees that are less idyllic. "There's two huge oaks in the front. And this one here," Layburn said, gesturing upward, "is threatening to fall on the house."
Decatur has few restrictions now on homeowners who want to remove trees. The new ordinance, if approved, would require them to:
But some residents say it's an overreaction, fueled by what Frank Wynne calls "tree party politics."
"Additional layers of bureaucracy won't help me manage my property," said Wynne, a Decatur resident and real estate agent. "And I think we have an awfully impressive tree canopy as we speak."
Officials at Decatur City Hall conducted an online, unscientific poll about the tree ordinance. And those voting overwhelmingly voted against it.

A fan favorite for the 12th Day of Wellness, we're going to look at the "inspiration" for the name of this wellness program. The PNC Christmas Price Index® shows the current cost for one set of each of the gifts given in the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas. It began 30 years ago when the chief economist at PNC Bank decided to figure out how much it would cost to buy each of the gifts. Little did he know, he was starting an economic tradition that continues to this day.
The PNC Christmas Price Index® is a fun way to measure consumer spending and trends in the economy. So even if "pipers piping" or "geese a-laying" didn't make your gift list, you can still learn a lot by checking out how their prices have gone up and down over the years.

It is official. I will be speaking at the Columbus, Ohio PowerShell Saturday community event. This is an all day event, and I will be presenting a Beginner track all day. There will also be an Advanced track with such Windows PowerShell luminaries and Microsoft PFE's like Ashley McGlone and Brian Jackett. The event is sponsored by the Central Ohio PowerShell Users Group, and we have worked closely with the group president, Wes Stahler.
The event will be held at the Microsoft office in Columbus, Ohio, and the seating is limited to the first 100 people who sign up. Details are being added continuously, so check the PowerShell Saturday event and sign-up page regularly.
will there be a web cast?
maybe if we can get it worked out to do so.
Yeah, Like Vern_Anderson it says, maybe a webcast will be great, so can I see you're speaking ..
Hi Ed,
sounds great!
But I have to agree to the web cast idea which Vern and Gokhan proposed!
Otherwise we could only press the virtual "like it" button here :-)
Klaus (Schulte)
A web cast would be ideal, as I'm not in the Ohio area.

Please Read ~ Giveaway Problem
We are having some technical difficulties!
I tried using a tool called Rafflecopter to host last week's Gift Guide giveaways, but there seem to be some problems.
Currently the Rafflecopter form for the Pet Convincer is on the H.L. Whitingham post & the Pet Convincer post has no Rafflecopter form.
I had sincerely hoped that this would make giveaways easier, and maybe it does, it could be that I used it incorrectly.
Whatever the case, if you had any trouble entering any of the thre contests last week leave me a comment here on this post.
The three contests were, ZooBorns Cats Book, Pet Convincer, or H. L. Whitingham Collar & Lead.
I'm so sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

I know how to fix it! We had the SAME PROBLEM with K9 Kamp! Go to all of your posts with Rafflecopters and add a jump break in the post before the Rafflecopter (in Blogger there is a little jump break button in the editting tools at the top it looks like a white paper with a jagged line across it). This should fix your rafflecopter issues!

SILVER CITY, N.M. (AP) - Emergency rehabilitation work is now complete in an area of the Gila National Forest that was charred by wildfire earlier this year.
The burn response team has installed water bars on forest roads in an effort to prevent erosion and to help direct any runoff away from the roads.
The team also installed signs throughout the area to warn visitors of possible post-fire hazards.
Aerial seeding was also done on more than 2 square miles where the burn severity was considered high. With monsoons in full swing, officials hope the seeding will lead to more vegetative cover on the steep slopes.
The Signal Fire burned more than 8 square miles north of Silver City in May and forced the temporary closure of some forest roads and recreation sites.

I really have no idea what to describe about myself actually. ^^ ;
I think I'm someone like a coin. Just like a coin has two sides. I have two faces. I have outgoing nature but at the same time I prefer to be alone too. People like being with me and enjoy the time with me and I feel comfortable with others but even while enjoying with poeple sometimes I feel lonely and want to go back and relax. lol.
My current mission in my life is mastering French.
I really love French and tryig my best to improve my French skill by any mean.

Ralph Ferrusi took a stroll around a marsh on Delaware's eastern shore before tackling the highest peak in the state. For a photo gallery, visit www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/players / Ralph Ferrusi/for the Poughkeepsie Journal
My Valley section Sunday
For more hiking coverage, with columns by local hikers and listing of upcoming outings, check out the Journals new expanded Environment section, My Valley, on Sunday, and visit www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/myvalley throughout the week.
Hike name: Boardwalk through a Delaware marsh/Delawares highest point
Location: Delawares eastern shore/north of Wilmington
Length: 940 feet/a couple of hundred yards
Rating: Different, but very interesting.
Accessible: Both walks were fully accessible.
Dogs: Fidod love both walks.
Maps: Delawares high point and the Woodland Beach Wildlife Area are both noted in the Rand McNally North American Road Atlas.
Features: A wide, well-built, boardwalk with sturdy full-length railings through a vast, big-sky, sea-level, tidal salt marsh. Bragging rights to Delawares highest peak, 447.85 feet above sea level, just a couple of hours away.
Watch out for: Finding the high point takes a bit of navigating and some patience on heavily trafficked shopping mall/traffic-light-infested roads.
Background: Kath and I are natural-born explorers. Accordingly, were on the road a lot, be it the Hummingbird Highway in Belize, or (ugh ) the Jersey Turnpike. Much of the time, in todays Gotta-Get-There-Quick world (ever try to merge onto the northbound Taconic between 4 and 7 p.m. on a weekday?) were caught up like the rest of em, humming along an Interstate at umpteen miles an hour, stopping only for (cheap Jersey) gas, rest rooms or food (Bertuccis, Exit 36B on I-295 south in Jersey is my personal favorite).
But, every so often, well take the roads less traveled; the good old back roads, and if we spot something that seems interesting, well pull over and explore; we just about always have some hiking boots or good walking shoes packed somewhere.
Coming home from the holidays we did just this, and had a bit of a break and some fun away from the high-speed glutted 10-lane Turnpike/Interstates.
The boardwalk was part of the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlifes (DNREC) Aquatic Resource Education Center, on Highway 9 in the 6,320-acre Woodland Beach Wildlife Area.
High Points: Ive stood on the top of 10 states: Maine, Hew Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware and Tennessee. The Appalachian Trail traverses six of these high points. Some of them Katahdin, Mount Washington, Mount Marcy are pretty dramatic. Delawares Ebright Road was different.
Boardwalk Hike description: Scenic Byway Route 9 was a delight; a good old-fashioned, smooth, two-lane road, lots of open countryside and farms, a couple of time-passed-by small towns, barely any other vehicles on the road. A true breath of fresh air, far from the maddening Turnpike-like expressways.
We spotted the boardwalk, passed it, then turned around, parked the car, and got out and stretched our legs. We walked past the boardwalk along a wide gravel path for quite a ways, then turned back and turned left onto the boardwalk. The huge marsh and the big, big sky were a feast for the eyes.
High Point Hike description: The mall traffic was maddening, but when we spotted the blue/gold EBRIGHT AZIMUTH sign in the vicinity of the highest natural point in the state we knew we had found Delawares Everest. We took turns standing on the bench, so each of our heads were, at that time, the highest point in the state. We found the benchmark, then headed back to I-95, and the Turnpike.
How to get there: We approached both walks heading north toward home. Wetland: right fork off fancy Highway 1 onto Scenic Byway 9 just south of Dover Air Force Base (very interesting Air Transport Command Museum at the south end of the base). High Point: from I-95 south of Wilmington: Exit 8 (Route 202 north), right on 92 (Naamans Road), left on Ebright Road, big fenced-in firetower on left. If you cross into Jersey youve gone too far.

There are multiple reports out saying Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett did not declare for the 2010 NFL draft due to "heavy rumors" that he was addicted to drugs.
Mallet actually never denied using but made an excuse saying reporters were out to get him, "Obviously somebody did it for a reason, right before the combine, right before the draft," that's the last I'm going to talk about it, though. I've talked to the teams. It's all good."
That sure doesn't sound reassuring, I mean if I was Mallet I'd just say they were fake stories, take a drug test and move on from it (Jokes on them drugs don't stay in your system for a year anyway, I DOUBT he's still doing them….right?) and then get drafted this year by a desperate team, make a ton of loot and actually become Ryan Leaf. I mean tons of people are already comparing the two. Yikes.
At 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, Mallett may has the strongest arm of any quarterback in the draft and said he can throw the football "80-plus" yards. Although there are some concerns that Mallett was actually stoned when he claimed that.
Enjoy Miami, I hear they got some good drugs down there.

For me, the Berman-era series have aged poorly. I'm not everyone nor do I profess to be. But we already have six-hundred hours of "other Trek" and less than a hundred of Kirk and Spock. I'm one that thinks the core of Trek needs to be explored again. YMMV.
TOS was my first love in
Star Trek
, so I can understand where you're coming from in terms of wanting to get back to the ideas and values of that era. I would like to see more of how the rest of the Federation functioned during the twenty third century, as TOS offered only brief glimpses of other ships and crews- both during the TV series and the films.
I wouldn't mind seeing a series set during the five-year mission but would be interested in seeing another crew chronicled in parallel to the adventures the
was having. Further exploration of the careers of people like Willard Decker, Clark Terrell, Thelin th'Valrass, Morgan Bateson (pre-TNG), and others would interest me. I don't advocate having them all on the same ship (it's not practical), but a series that features a few of them could work.
Totally agree with this statement. Trek fans seem to think that the franchise has to push further into the future as if that makes a new series intrinsically better.
When it comes to creativity, what's the crime in making a lateral move?

The Library has many books on Polo and Ogle County in the Local History section and the local paper on microfilm going back to 1865.
In 1836, Oliver W. Kellogg with George D. H. Wilcoxen, built the first sawmill in what is now Ogle County. This mill was located on Buffalo Creek near the center of the woods. Slight traces of the old dam and race can still be seen near the Bluffs west of Polo.
In 1837, Zenas Aplington, a young man of 22, came to Buffalo Grove. At first he worked at the sawmill. During the next 13 years he worked as a blacksmith, carpenter, sawyer, and farmer.

Put in the goals to donate or throw away an item each and every day. The spark points will motivate you and every day you track your other goals you will be remembered to get an item out of your house, apartment or room.
One of the ways I stay active on spark people is to use the spark streaks. Logging on to spark is one of my streaks and because I do not want to break it I have logged on just about every day. Even if I do not feel up to sparking I will log on and that gets me going.
Making short term streaks like "exercising for 100 days, or no binging for 21 days", helps motivate me to stay on track.
I tell everyone I come in contact with that I go to Sparkpeople.com for my diet and exercise.

Screamers 2 Shooting in JanuaryMeh
Sheldon Wilson who directed Shallow Ground and KAW is going to be directing Screamers 2 in January according to the fine folks at MovieHole. I LOVED the original screamers and think a sequel is well deserving since the first one left the door wide open for a good sequel. The premise of the new film according to MovieHole will go like this;
Screamers 2" fixes on a group of humans from earth, including Lt. Victoria Bronte, who arrive on Sirius 6-B to investigate an SOS signal sent out from the planet, which has been supposedly deserted since the destruction of the man-made weapons known as "screamers."
Once the squad arrives, they find a group of human survivors eking out an existence in an old military outpost, but more important, they discover that the threat of the screamers has become even more insidious, now that they're able to morph into human form.
If you have not seen screamers I can not reccomend it enough. It is one of my all time favorite horror / scifi films!

Focus on Community/Arts
Golden Dragon Acrobats Will Amaze at TPAC
Posted on Thursday, April 06, 2006
WYE MILLS Audiences of all ages are thrilled by the daring Golden Dragon Acrobats. The troupe will perform for a local audience on Friday, April 28 at 7 p.m. in the Rufus and Loraine Todd Performing Arts Center at Chesapeake College.
For more than twenty-seven centuries Chinese acrobats have been thrilling audiences, making it the "longest running" folk art form in history. In China, acrobats are revered much the same way prima ballerinas and opera singers are in the West. The performers of the Golden Dragon Acrobats represent the best of this honored tradition, mixing award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes and ancient and contemporary theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and spellbinding beauty.
The Golden Dragon Acrobats have become the world´s leading Chinese acrobatic troupe, performing more than any other company. Director of the troupe, world-renowned impresario Danny Chang and choreographer Angela Chang combine their expertise, love of their art, and life-long discipline in producing tours for the GDA.
Their dedication has brought their company from Cangzhou, Hebei province in China, around the world to all 50 states and over 65 countries on five continents, including performances at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Germany´s Elspe Festival, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Caesar´s Palace in Atlantic City, and the Seattle Children´s Festival. With performers trained in the rigorous art of Chinese acrobats since early youth, the GDA have garnered international acclaim. The group counts among its awards seven National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) Entertainer of the Year Awards and the Campus Activities Today´s Performers of the Year Award.
Now marking their 28th year of continuous touring in the U.S., the members of the GDA are actors, athletes, and artists, with an unmistakable love for their art. Their spellbinding feats of physical daring and grace, enhanced by elaborate traditional costumes in brilliant colors and a combination of ancient and contemporary theatrical techniques, continue to enthrall audiences of all ages.
Funding for this performance was provided, in part, by the Queen Anne´s County Arts Council and the Maryland Arts Council. Tickets for the show are $20 for adults and $15 for children. For more information, please call 410-827-5867.

Thief ordered to stay out of Leicester city centre car parks
Posted: March 11, 2013|
A thief with a 15-year criminal record has been ordered to stay out of car parks in Leicester city centre for three years.
Kevin Sidney Brown, who has racked up almost 50 convictions, faces jail if he enters any public or private car park in the Castle and Spinney Hills council wards between now and 2016.
Police obtained the criminal anti-social behaviour order (Crasbo) against the 36-year-old in an effort to limit his opportunities to steal from cars.
The three-year order has been triggered after he was released from his latest prison sentence for stealing from cars.
Posters highlighting the terms of the order and including his photograph are now being placed in car parks in the two areas.
Police said Brown has 48 previous convictions, mostly for thefts. His criminal record dates back to 1998.
Brown has also been banned from both areas between 9pm and midnight for the next six months.
Officers said they could return to court to vary or widen the terms of the order if they uncover evidence of Smith targeting other areas.
Pc Horatio Wright, a city centre officer who put the application to the court, said: "Kevin Brown is a prolific offender who has targeted the city centre for some time, with a history of theft from unattended motor vehicles.
"As a team we worked hard to deter him from his usual offending habits, but unfortunately time after time he continued to cause our community harm.
"I now hope that Brown will understand the impact of what he has done and change his ways."
Motorist Chris Jackson, 48, from Aylestone said: "This sounds like a good idea to me.
"This man is obviously well known to the police, so they will be watching him wherever he goes.
"Having his photograph on posters will also help members of the public report him if he tries it on."
Brown has lived in Leicester and Lincolnshire.
His most recent address at a court hearing was given as the headquarters of homeless charity Nomad Trust, in Monks Road, Lincoln.
Councillor Sarah Russell, assistant city mayor with responsibility for community safety, said: "I would encourage people to work with the police to make sure that this order works and this man is stopped from causing misery for motorists.
"They should call the police if they see him breaching his order and the police will deal with him."
Sgt Nicola Preston, deputy commander of city centre police, said: "We need the public's support to help us enforce the conditions of Brown's Crasbo by letting us know if they believe he has broken his terms.
"Crasbos are designed to stop offenders returning to their old ways on release from prison.
"We are determined to try and stop his criminal behaviour."

David Clyde: Onetime Texas Pitching Phenom and Lost Boy of Baseball Schools Young Players
Categories: Sports
|Miracles Academy
That's because, in between March thunderstorms, the former Texas Ranger is speaking with me on the phone while schooling a young pitcher at a North Houston baseball academy.
Clyde knows a thing or dozen about the pressures of being a young hurler. After going 18-0 at Houston's Westchester High School, the lefty was taken with the No. 1 pick by the Texas Rangers in 1973's amateur draft, receiving an unheard of $125,000 signing bonus at the time. The team owner was desperate for a local hook to boost sagging home game attendance.
I tell Clyde about having seen him as a rookie on the cover of Sports Illustrated or The Sporting News, his lanky frame photographed in the middle of a high-kicking wind-up. But he politely informs he did not make the cover of those mags, only significant feature spreads inside. Wherever we saw the story, it certainly made an impression on us sandlotters and Little Leaguers. Baseball turned a kid into a pro--our dreams really could come true.
The Clyde interview for lost boys was condensed for print, with some quotes and the orders he's barking out to his young charge removed for space and clarity reasons. Reading the conversation in full below offers a flavor of what it's like listening in on the phone.
Clyde was out of Major League Baseball by 1979, having suffered an arm injury with the Cleveland Indians and, despite trades back to Texas and the Houston Astros, he never made it back to the mound in a big league game. He was just 37 days shy of the four years of pro service required to get a full pension.
My first question concerns rumors he was removed from the MLB Players Alumni Associations pensions committee for asking too many tough questions on behalf of fellow lost boys frozen out of lifetime pensions and access to healthcare
"The answer that I was given was I wasn't renewed," Clyde says in his Texas drawl. "I
was not told directly it had to do with that, so anything I have to say about that is pure conjecture. But a little bit on the funny side of that is we get these things approved, we are part of the inner committeee that got it approved, and then myself and Gary Neibauer are no longer needed."
Clyde says he remains "fearful" about those retirees no longer having a voice on the pensions committee.
"I don't mean sound ugly or whatever, but for 25 years nothing happened," says Clyde before shouting, "WIND UP!"
Asked about players from his era who are vested in the pension taking an interest in the plight of the lost boys, Clyde answers, "For the most part there have been very few. My fear is who is there to represent us now? Yes, sometimes you have to step on toes to get things done, but I don't think anybody I asked questions of acted as if I was out of line."
I tell him about Tustin's Dick Baney, a lost boy who pitched for the Seattle Pilots and Cincinnati Reds, saying 90 percent of the non-vested are unhappy about what they are receiving.
"I'll be honest with you, I'm not totally happy with what I got, and I'm at the highest end
of it."
He receives about $9,300 annually after taxes through 2016.
"I want you to know I'm very grateful for what I got, because it's more than I had
before, what we had before. I don't mean to be rude, but if any player is not happy with
it, if he wants to give it back, go right ahead. If they are that unhappy with it, give it back.
Because there was nothing before.
"Still, my fear is there is nobody out there to represent the non-vested player.

Happening now: Shoe auction & music at week 2 of West Seattle Outdoor MoviesJuly 27, 2013 at 7:59 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle Outdoor Movies | 5 Comments
7:59 PM: The bidding's on, in the benefit auction of donated shoes that's preceding tonight's West Seattle Outdoor Movies presentation of "The Devil Wore Prada." Even if you're not staying for the movie (which starts at dusk – still more than an hour away), you can stop by and check out the shoes. If you do want to stay for the (free) movie – as of right now, just before 8 pm, our crew at the courtyard (next to Hotwire Online Coffeehouse [WSB sponsor] at California/Genesee) says there's lots of room. Live music, too!
8:20 PM UPDATE: Now the courtyard is "filling up fast," our on-scene crew reports. So if you've been waiting to leave – get going! BYO chair/blanket.
8:55 PM UPDATE: That's a cameraphone pic of the crowd, as of a few minutes ago. We've just heard from Furry Faces Foundation, beneficiary and organizer of tonight's shoe auction – bidding has just closed – and from Highline Physical Therapy, tonight's featured sponsor. (WSB is media sponsor for the series.) Movie time looks to be around 9:10, 9:15 – gets a bit earlier each week. Next week, by the way, is the 2011 movie "The Muppets," with a Wallace and Gromit short, and a free community barbecue presented by West Seattle Christian Church.

The WF story is the bigest story in ws for some time but award winers talk about shoes… But real news sources are all over it… Catch up

Excuse me?
(added) If you mean the Whole Foods story – don't know how you wound up in this story, but WSB has been covering it for a year, starting with first word of the project. You can find the latest coverage and the archive here:
Wow, there seems to be a lot of comments directly attacking WSB, and making inaccurate comments as to WSB's journalistic integrity.
Methinks someone needs a more productive hobby than visiting, (and I have a hunch repeatedly doing so) websites that they have such disdain for.
Comment by miws — 8:02 am July 28, 2013 #
'Award Winers'? WF is the biggest story? Wow! There are lots of important stories and WSB does an outstanding job covering them.
WSB also give local non-profits a lot of free, in depth coverage because they believe in supporting our community. Thank you WSB!
Comment by Teri Ensley — 12:23 pm July 28, 2013 #
back to the topic of the FREE outdoor movie; what a perfect night; I have gone downtown for Torchlight parade every year since moving to Seattle; this would have been my 16th; I was torn about missing this movie, which I love love love; at last minute, I was too hot, and not up to the downtown crowds/traffic; turned out to be the best outdoor movie night, not crowded, ideal weather, one of my favorite movies, laughed for 2 hours, occasionally looking up at the beautiful sky full of stars, meeting a new friend who was sitting next to me and at the outdoor movie for first time; perfect lovely evening that renewed my feelings of how wonderful it is to live in West Seattle; small town feel yet always an opportunity to meet new folks in our neighborhood while sharing in a great community event; and afterward, got a chance to chat with Pastor Dan and Joanie Jacobs, who were so generous with their time sharing with me their inspiring story of how they came to their decision to leave West Seattle to start a new church in SLU; fabulous night; thank you to all who started up the outdoor movies and keep it going; such a wonderful gift to all of us
btw, I'm guessing westseattleblog did not even get to enjoy the movie themselves; when I got home after movie, opened the blog and learned that just as the movie was starting, there was another tragic car crash down on Delridge, another death; which of course they ran to immediately cover, just as they keep us informed of everything, big and small, that happens in West Seattle; we are so lucky to have them; and I cannot fathom how they deal with all the crappy bizarre harassment that gets piled on them for no good reason

Organization of American States: The Drug Problem in the Americas
Secretary General José Miguel Insulza presented this report to the Organization of American States (OAS) on May 17, 2013. The report details...
Interviewee: Markus Schultze-Kraft
Interviewer: Stephanie Hanson
April 28, 2008
Billions have been spent to fight cocaine production and trafficking in Latin America. Yet both set new records in 2007. Markus Schultze-Kraft, Latin America program director at the International Crisis Group, discusses policies that the United States, Europe, and Latin American countries should adopt to combat drug trafficking in the region. "Increasingly sophisticated" transnational drug trafficking organizations are expanding across Latin America and into West Africa, he says. Such organizations have infiltrated many state institutions in Latin America, including the police and the judiciary. Schultze-Kraft says it is important to strengthen the police at the federal level, and then look at improving cooperation between federal, state, and municipal police forces.
Regarding current U.S. and EU counternarcotics policies, Schultze-Kraft says "None of them are producing the results that are desired." As a result, U.S. and EU policymakers should seek advice from one another in the areas that each has expertise. The United States can learn from Europe's harm reduction programs, he suggests, and the Europeans can learn from the U.S. experience with alternative development in Colombia. Schultze-Kraft stresses that demand reduction is "the most important issue at hand right now."
