Dick's Sporting Goods, Marshalls to open in Issaquah Highlands
October 11, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 4 p.m. Oct. 11, 2012
Retail offerings in the Issaquah Highlands include a mix of local and national companies, developers behind the neighborhood's $70 million Grand Ridge Plaza retail complex announced Wednesday.
The latest announcement adds Dick's Sporting Goods, Marshalls and HomeGoods to the retail center alongside a Regal Cinemas multiplex, and a Safeway and associated gas station. City officials announced plans for RAM Restaurant & Brewery, Big Fish Grill and ULTA Beauty on Oct. 2.
The highlands lineup includes homegrown businesses Zumiez, a specialty sports equipment and clothing company based in Lynnwood, and another location for Seattle-based Chinoise Sushi Bar & Asian Grill.
The project developer, Regency Centers, and highlands developer Port Blakely Communities executives unveiled the expanded list at a community meeting.
The tenant announcement came as construction speeds along on the Regal Cinemas and associated parking structure near Northeast High Street and Highlands Drive Northeast. Construction started in June after more than a decade of delays and scrapped plans.
Grand Ridge Plaza encompasses 10 blocks and 15 buildings spread across 280,113 square feet. The project is the largest commercial venture in the neighborhood since Swedish/Issaquah opened last year.
The initial offerings — Real Cinemas, Big Fish Grill and RAM Restaurant & Brewery — should open at about the same time, possibly as early as next spring.
In addition to the Grand Ridge Plaza development, Microsoft recently announced plans to sell a long-vacant 60 acres across Ninth Avenue Northeast from the Grand Ridge Plaza site.
The land — south of Highlands Drive Northeast and north of Swedish/Issaquah — can accommodate 1.2 million square feet of commercial space. Microsoft's initial proposal for the community included a 150-acre campus, but scuttled the plan in 2004.

This development will greatly add to the quality of life in the Issaquah area, the new Bellevue! Home values will increase accordingly to the benefit of those of us who have invested early! Hang in there, neighbors. The future is bright and bountiful The luxury of new roads and modern facilities so outweighs the old Bellevue with its dominance by you know who – Freeman. With the high quality homes and businesses, what can go wrong? I love living in this area and look forward to a bright future and increasing values. Get that new house while you can affort it!

It's all really exciting and so needed. Living above the school now and coming down the hill…it's like watching paint dry. But traffic is going to be a bear…and I don't mean the animal.

Glad to have the Safeway store coming, we have a real problem getting down the hill with Park being the only exit.
Got something to say?

Bishop-Grimes writers entertain at Seymour School in two languages:
Twelve Bishop-Grimes sophomore Spanish students visited the Seymour Dual Learning Academy on Friday, Feb. 29 to share a collection of bilingual children's books the students had written and illustrated as a class project.
The field trip provided the high schoolers with an opportunity to practice their Spanish, while the Seymour kindergarten and first-grade classes enjoyed original tales and illustrations in both Spanish and English.
Sharon Bearer, the Bishop-Grimes Spanish teacher, said this is the fifth year students from her class have visited the Seymour school, where every subject is taught in both Spanish and English. In the past, students have performed plays and managed arts and crafts projects, but the Seymour students seem to enjoy the books the more, Bearer said.
Students in Bearer's Spanish III class paired up to write and illustrate a bilingual children's book, with the story printed in Spanish and English. The best six books were chosen to read to the Seymour classes. Bearer said many of the students donate their books to the Seymour library after reading them aloud to the classes.
Most Seymour students learn English as a second language, said Seymour principal Marie Lostombo. She encouraged the Bishop-Grimes students to feel comfortable speaking Spanish to the children, and reassured them that no one would laugh at them.
Still, several students were nervous to read their Spanish stories to native speakers.
"It's kind of weird having a first grader know more than you do," Katherine Wilcox said.
Elizabeth Reck said she chose to take Spanish over other languages offered because she thought it would be the most useful, and that a knowledge of Spanish would appeal to potential employers.
Reck remembered an instance in which she helped her mother communicate with clients who spoke only Spanish, her first experience putting her Spanish to work in the "real world."
"So many things in school are geared towards state exams," Bearer said.
She believes it is important for students to have the opportunity to use their Spanish outside of the classroom.
"We come down here and see people using it -- it's a real good thing for us," she said.

Scarre, Chris, Antiquity
Our new cover design announces that Antiquity has moved to a new home with a new editorial team. It is both a great pleasure and an enormous challenge to follow in the footsteps of the distinguished series of editors who have guided and nurtured the journal since it first appeared back in 1927. Its mission remains unchanged: to bring the most significant recent research, be it fieldwork, analysis or debate, to the broadest possible archaeological audience.
Covering every aspect of archaeology and every part of the world, Antiquity is unique in its breadth and scope. Our mission remains as important today as when O.G.S Crawford, the founder of Antiquity, wrote in his first editorial in 1927 about important archaeological discoveries that "seldom reach the general public, and remain buried in obscure publications". With the growth of archaeology as a profession over the past 50 years, the readership of Antiquity has changed, but we still aim to attract the interest of the general non-professional, alongside the archaeological and heritage students and professionals who today form our main constituency.
It is also more widely read than ever before: one advantage of the digital age is greater accessibility with all the benefits which that brings. Being able to access an article from a home or office computer saves time and makes it easier to find what we are looking for. It also makes it possible to share research and information internationally on a scale never seen before. All those developments are good things. The larger the community of knowledge, and the more diverse in terms of region and tradition, the richer the archaeology that should result.
One of the key challenges facing journals in the twenty-first century, however, is the economic model that supports them, and the growing demands for Open Access. Under the current arrangement, most journal articles are hidden behind pay walls to which only subscribers, those linked to subscribing institutions, or those who are prepared to pay for an individual article have access. That is increasingly being challenged. The alternative model, where the author pays for the cost of publication, is being championed by governments in the UK and elsewhere. The benefits are many. Articles funded this way will be free to access by everyone, whether in Newcastle or Novosibirsk. Subscription charges that developing countries find difficult to afford will no longer be a barrier to knowledge. A new age of wider sharing of knowledge seems hence to beckon. But there are downsides too that have yet to be resolved. Who will provide the funding for authors to pay for publication of their articles? And how will that affect archaeologists from developing countries who cannot possibly be expected to find the money required? Antiquity has been increasingly successful in attracting articles from non-western scholars in recent years, and it would be a tragedy if that were to be compromised or reversed through the pressure for Open Access. This is a complicated issue to which we shall return in future editorials.
My first encounter with Antiquity was as a university student in the 1970s, when Glyn Daniel was editor. He had taken over following the sudden death of O.G.S. Crawford in 1957, not without some misgivings, as he later confessed. But with the able support of his wife Ruth, Glyn did a sterling job for 30 years, firmly establishing Antiquity as the leading journal of world archaeology. And so it has remained to the present day, its scope and content gradually expanding as there was more and more archaeology to report, not only from Europe, south-west Asia and North America but also from areas that hitherto had featured less regularly in these pages such as sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and East Asia. The pattern had been set by Crawford: the very first issue of Antiquity in 1927 contained an article on Maori hillforts and a note on Mongolian flint scatters (the latter accompanied by acerbic comments on the chronology! …

Corn ends lower, soybeans higher
DES MOINES, Iowa (Agriculture.com)--The higher start was unsustainable for the CME Group corn market. But, soybeans and wheat finished higher Tuesday.
The May futures corn contract closed 3/4 of a cent lower at $6.41. The May soybean futures contract finished 3 cents higher at $13.94. May wheat futures closed 9 cents higher at $6.73 per bushel. The May soymeal futures closed $1.50 per short ton lower at $417.80. The May soyoil futures closed $0.01 higher at $50.44.
In the outside markets, the NYMEX crude oil is $0.08 per barrel lower, the dollar is higher and the Dow Jones Industrials are 77 points higher.
Tim Hannagan, Alpari (U.S.) LLC senior grain analyst, says the market is having a tough time with rallies.
"We started the day with 'turn around Tuesday' or profit taking from Monday's big break. Traders still want to sell rallies, ahead of next Wednesday's USDA monthly crop report. That Report is expected to show last Thursday's quarterly stocks increase to the ending stocks."

Barack Obama, the US president, says it is only fair. But Republicans say that increasing taxes on the country's wealthy can only harm the economy. Inside Story Americas asks: What does less money for the super rich mean for the rest of the US?Flanked by a group who call themselves the "patriotic millionaires," Obama once again urged a new tax on wealthy Americans.
His proposal is called the Buffett Rule after the billionaire investor Warren Buffett who publicly complained that he pays less tax than his secretary.Obama said it was time the richest Americans paid their "fair share" in taxes.
"I think that if you enact something like the Buffett Rule, you're really increasing the taxation of investment …. [And] we need to realise that the Buffett Rule brings in very little revenue."
- Alan Vaird, a former economic adviser to the Bush White House
Of the Buffett Rule, Obama said: "[It] is something that will get us moving in the right direction - towards fairness, towards economic growth. It will help us close our deficit and it's a lot more specific than anything that the other side has proposed so far. And if Republicans in Congress were truly concerned with deficits and debt then I'm assuming they wouldn't have just proposed to spend an additional $4.6tn on lower tax rates, including an average tax cut of at least $150,000 for every millionaire in America."
The proposal would set a minimum 30 per cent rate for those earning more than a million dollars a year. The president also pointed out that one of his predecessors, the Republican icon Ronald Reagan, once called tax loopholes for the rich "crazy".That, however, is something that would sit uncomfortably with today's Republicans, who vehemently oppose the plan and have even called it class warfare.
Indeed their rival plan would cut the tax rate on the super rich from 35 to 25 per cent - something enthusiastically endorsed by the probable Republican nominee and private equity tycoon Mitt Romney And then there are also those who argue that the Buffett Rule does not go far enough in restoring historical tax codes and bridging the country's ever-increasing wealth gap.Inside Story Americas spoke to Professor Eric Schoenberg, one of the millionaires backing the Buffet Rule, and asked him to explain why he wanted to be taxed more. Here is some of what he had to say:
"There are two basic problems I would point to that the United States is facing now. The first is the government, ever since the Reagan administration with a narrow window during the Clinton administration, has spent substantially more than it has taken in in taxes. Many people in Congress are deeply concerned about these deficits and I share these concerns. We have to do something to get revenues more in line with government expenditures.
"This is an important first step towards comprehensive tax reform."
- Andrew Fieldhouse from the Economic Policy Institute
"The second problem that I think is a substantial one facing the United States is the growth of inequality. Now, Americans do not really have a huge problem with inequalities in wealth as long as there are equalities of opportunities. The problem is, I think, the degree of inequality of wealth has reached a stage where the opportunity is not there for as many Americans as possible ....
"I pay substantially lower taxes than a hardworking middle class American and I don't think that's fair ....
"When the wealthy become too powerful they do what it takes to protect their own interests and they make it much harder for people to gather new wealth themselves."
So, are taxes fair in the US? Joining Inside Story Americas with Shihab Rattansi to discuss this are: Alan Viard, a former economic adviser to the Bush White House; Andrew Fieldhouse from the Economic Policy Institute; and political journalist David Sirota.

Locke (4-1) won his fourth straight decisions and gave up one run or fewer for the fifth time in his past eight outings. He struck out four and walked three.
The notoriously streaky Alvarez pushed his average above .200 for just the second time since the second game of the season. His eighth home run came on the first pitch and was an opposite field line drive down the left field line in the fifth.
Alvarez's longball was his second of the series and third in eight games.
It was the lone mistake by Astros starter Lucas Harrell, who lost his third consecutive decision despite allowing four hits and one walk in seven innings.

U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, speaks to students at Fond du Lac's Waters Elementary School in this 2009 file photo. Kohl, 77, is retiring after 24 years in Washington, D.C.
- Filed Under
When Herb Kohl delivered his farewell remarks recently on the floor of the United States Senate, few of his colleagues were on hand to hear him speak. No disrespect. That's just sort of the way it goes in a legislative body in which events and members' schedules often are in conflict.
But it would not have mattered to Kohl if the chamber had been packed. In the 24 years he has served, the 77-year-old Milwaukee Democrat has shown little affinity for the limelight. His career has been marked by a quiet, steadfast devotion to his home state of Wisconsin.
On Jan. 2, Kohl's retirement becomes official, ...

Rubbing his hands on his thighs and exhaling a deep breath, defendant Keith Kellum pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Friday, a decision that could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
Kellum, 24, was set to face a Sonoma County jury on Monday with his co-defendant, Bradley Blackwell, 19, in the killing of 20-year-old Uriel Carreno in his Petaluma garage apartment in February 2007.
Blackwell was present in court Friday afternoon as Kellum admitted his involvement, and then blamed Blackwell for the killing. Blackwell will now head to trial alone. He faces a possible sentence of life without parole if convicted. Although he was under 18 when the killing occurred, Blackwell is being prosecuted as an adult.
Damning evidence presented at a preliminary hearing in 2007 and at pretrial hearings this month apparently pushed Kellum toward a deal that allows at least a small hope of eventual release.
In a hastily called hearing Friday afternoon, Kellum appeared nervous as he filled out forms waiving his right to appeal his guilty plea. He confessed his involvement.
?Me and Mr. Blackwell went to Petaluma to a drug dealer?s house...? to do a drug rip-off, he said, as he described the events of the rainy Feb. 7 two years ago, on a Joan Drive home in east Petaluma, a block from a block from Lucchesi Park.
?I kicked the door in and Mr. Blackwell shot and killed a man,? he said.
Under questioning from his attorney, Martin Woods, Kellum said he had ?absolutely nothing? to do with a gun and did ?absolutely not? fire a gun.
Blackwell, with his attorney, Roy Miller next to him, watched from about 12 feet away.
In statements to police, the defendants, both from Rohnert Park, each blamed each other for the murder.

Marty practices exclusively in the area of California state and local tax controversy. He handles high-stakes matters at the administrative and judicial levels with respect to corporate and personal income tax, sales and use tax, property tax, payroll tax, business license tax, and other taxes and fees administered by state and local governments. Marty is passionate about protecting taxpayers against government overreach. This quality, combined with Marty's deep and abiding sense of commitment to his clients, drives him to relentlessly defend their interests with loyalty, integrity and distinction. And the results he has achieved for his clients speak for themselves (detailed below). Marty's efforts were recognized by Law 360, which named him Tax MVP for 2013 and again in 2014, and have attracted the attention of the California Legislature, with legislative staff referring to him as "noted tax attorney." Marty gives his clients the edge against the government by using his agency knowledge, technical know-how and hands-on experience with California's complex and unique tax system to solve his clients' tax problems efficiently, and to hold taxing authorities accountable in the process. This experience enables Marty to resolve his clients' issues in a cost-effective manner at the lowest possible level. The amounts at issue in Marty's pending cases are collectively in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Marty has more than 15 years of state tax experience, beginning his career as law clerk to former California State Board of Equalization (SBE) member Dean F. Andal, and then as legal counsel to past SBE member Claude W. Parrish. Marty later worked in the State Tax Controversy Group in a Big 4 accounting firm, where he represented several Fortune 500 companies at the audit, protest and appeals levels relating to California franchise and income tax, sales tax, and property tax.

December 3rd East meets western couture
Take the theatrical backdrop of the Shanghai city skyline, add a catwalk show aboard an 85-metre long barge on the Huangpu River, and you've got the sort of fantasy setting one can only attribute to Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel.
The designer's (and our) latest obsession du jour is his 2009-2010 Métiers d'Art collection, simply named Paris Shanghai; though there's nothing simple about this collection of 30-plus creations. Dubbed the "Terracotta Army", the works are inspired by Chinese cinema, the glittering opulence of the 1930s and Chinese Imperial court dress.
Tunics take their cue from traditional Mandarin Qipao gowns - creating structure around the shoulders and slim waists - while pointed hats frame the face, and heavy winter coats are lavishly embroidered in shades of black, red, khaki and midnight-blue, shining brightly into the Shanghai night. Alongside the Asian glitterati, other front-row guests at today's show included Vanessa Paradis, who flew in from Los Angeles especially for the event.

November 25, 2015
The U.S. Senate approved legislation that would provide up to $750 million in loans to allow hard hit Gulf Coast local governments to pay their essential employees with federal storm aid already provided by Congress.
The measure now moves to the House, which plans to adjourn for a 10-day recess.
Gulf Coast lawmakers warned that failure by the House to approve the measure before leaving town would force many local governments to begin laying off essential workers next week.
The Senate approved the measure by a voice vote after Democrats dropped their objections. Michigan Senator Carl Levin, a Democrat, had blocked an earlier vote, and Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu kept the Senate in session through the night insisting on the removal of language in the bill that would bar the federal government from forgiving the loans.
Democrats argued that the language would subject Gulf Coast communities to restrictions never before imposed on local governments who obtained federal loans to keep essential services following a disaster.
Before the final Senate vote, Levin offered an amendment that would have allowed forgiveness of the loans, if approved by Congress. But Majority Leader Bill Frist objected, killing the amendment. Frist then moved to pass the bill with the restrictive loan language and neither Landrieu nor Levin objected.
Earlier, Republicans blocked two efforts by Landrieu to send the aid package to the House. One would have stripped the loan repayment language, which Senator David Vitter said had been insisted on by House GOP leaders. The other would have allowed the loans to be forgiven only by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

I visited this facility
I have visited this facility several times over over many years. I have interacted with staff and residents. The facility is less than warm and inviting in color and design. The staff have not been properly trained to provide the necessary care for patients in mental health and medical emergencies. It is very costly to reside in programs like this and this facility does not come close to presenting as a "home away from home" environment that I would want for my relatives and friends.

Marine Gen. John Allen, left, meets with Army Gen. David Petraeus in July 2011, prior to Allen assuming command of ISAF-Afghanistan from Petraeus. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says emails sent by Allen to a woman involved in the Petraeus sex scandal have triggered their own probe. (Navy)
- Filed Under
For many troops, it came as no shock to learn that Marine Gen. John Allen was taking time away from his job as commander of the Afghanistan War to trade allegedly racy emails with a 37-year-old socialite from Florida.
The real surprise was that a four-star officer came under serious scrutiny for such actions.
"It's about time those guys get caught doing something," said one Army captain, who requested anonymity before speaking about senior commanders. "Not that I'm wishing ill on anyone, but for quite some time, a flag officer or a general officer in our force has been almost untouchable."
Allen has denied any wrongdoing, yet the revelation Nov. 11 that he is facing a Defense Department Inspector General probe into potential misconduct is the latest in a series of senior officer missteps that have roiled the military up and down the chain of command.
The string of public embarrassments, alleged crimes and administrative violations has eroded morale and cast a spotlight on the military's senior leadership and its accountability.
These days, the Pentagon IG substantiates complaints against senior military officials about once a week, on average. The IG has seen a spike in complaints of misconduct by senior officials defined as O-6s and above in recent years and is adding dozens of new staffers to handle the increased workload.
The issue has sparked concern at the highest levels. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Nov. 15 that he has launched a formal review of "instances when senior officers have not lived up to the standards expected of them."
Panetta ordered a Pentagon review of "how to better foster a culture of stewardship among our most senior military officers" and expects to send results to the White House in December.
But some experts say focusing on this latest spate of comparatively minor misbehavior misses the point and fails to address a broader crisis of leadership in today's military.
"If I were a soldier, I would be demoralized that people are paying more attention to the private lives of generals than the real lives of soldiers," said Tom Ricks, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and author of "The Generals: American Military Command from World War II to Today."
Military leaders may sometimes face probes of their personal conduct, but rarely for their professional failures or strategic mistakes, Ricks said.
The best example, he said, may be the flawed leadership in the early years of the Iraq War: "We had a series of mediocre generals in Iraq … yet nobody thought that was a scandal."
Fall of an icon
Washington was stunned by reports Nov. 9 that retired Army Gen. David Petraeus had resigned from his post as director of the CIA because of an extramarital affair with his biographer, Army Reserve officer and West Point graduate Paula Broadwell.
The affair reportedly began after Petraeus left active duty last year and lasted for several months.
Questions remain about whether Broadwell may have obtained classified information from Petraeus or his computer, prompting a response from President Obama at his first post-election news conference Nov. 14.
"I have no evidence at this point from what I've seen that classified information was disclosed" by the Petraeus scandal, Obama said.
But the episode may jeopardize Petraeus' security clearance and limit his ability to work on sensitive national security matters from the private sector.
The FBI discovered the affair during an investigation that found Broadwell was sending threatening emails to another woman, Jill Kelley, a Tampa, Fla., socialite.
Broadwell reportedly viewed Kelley as a rival for Petraeus' attention and told her to stay away from him. Petraeus has denied any affair with Kelley.
Kelley and her husband, Scott, a surgeon, were known to throw lavish parties at their Tampa mansion hosting top military brass from nearby MacDill Air Force Base, headquarters of both U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command.
But the scandal took an even stranger turn when the Pentagon revealed the FBI investigation also had found a link to Allen.
In addition to the anonymous emails Broadwell reportedly sent to Kelley, she also sent one to Allen in May cautioning him to stay away from Kelley. Broadwell sent that email just days before Allen planned to meet with Kelley in Washington while he was there to testify before Congress on the Afghanistan War.
The FBI later found "20,000 to 30,000" pages of emails exchanged between Allen and Kelley, starting in 2010, when Allen was serving in Tampa as CENTCOM deputy commander.
A defense official described the emails as "flirtatious" and said the Pentagon's IG has opened an investigation that will determine whether they amount to a violation of military law governing "conduct unbecoming an officer."
Allen remains the commanding general of the Afghanistan War, and Obama has expressed confidence and support for him. Yet his nomination for the prestigious post of Supreme Allied Commander, Europe is on hold, and his confirmation hearing before Congress, which had been scheduled for Nov. 15, was postponed.
Bad week for the brass
Amid all that, the Pentagon also announced Nov. 13 that the former head of U.S. Africa Command, Gen. William "Kip" Ward, was stripped of a star and ordered to repay taxpayers some $82,000 for abusing his travel privileges and expense accounts.
In January 2011, he and his 12-person entourage made an 11-day trip to Washington and Atlanta, where he conducted less than three days of official business. The trip cost taxpayers nearly $130,000, according to the IG.
On another trip, he told his staff to refuel in Bermuda, where he and his wife stayed in a $750-a-night hotel suite.
Days before the announcement about Ward, the Pentagon released an IG report Nov. 8 that found another four-star officer had abused military travel privileges.
Adm. James Stavridis, the top-ranking U.S. and NATO military officer in Europe, was rebuked for telling his staff to fire up a military Gulfstream jet so he, his wife and several staffers could fly from their duty station in Belgium to a vineyard in France for dinner.
They joined a crowd of wealthy French power brokers at a winery in Burgundy. The French defense minister attended, but for Stavridis to claim that trip as official business was a stretch, according to the IG, which concluded he "improperly used MilAir for unofficial travel without approval."
Ultimately, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus didn't discipline Stavridis. But the investigation's mere existence took him off the short list for several top Pentagon jobs. He had previously been mentioned as a possible chief of naval operations or chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
And at Fort Bragg, N.C., a one-star officer faced a rare Article 32 hearing this month.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair could go to prison if court-martialed on allegations that include forcible sodomy. The hearing featured testimony from a female Army officer, who recalled resisting while Sinclair gripped her neck and forced her to perform oral sex.
Another witness quoted Sinclair saying: "I'm a general. I'll do what the [expletive] I want."
Sexual misconduct allegations also derailed another candidate for the military's top job last year. Marine Gen. James Cartwright was known as "Obama's favorite general" and a top contender to replace Adm. Mike Mullen as chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
But many believe he was crossed off the list because of an IG investigation into an incident involving a female subordinate who passed out drunk in his hotel room on an overseas trip in 2009.
The IG report in February 2011 cleared him of sexual misconduct but criticized him for "fostering an unduly familiar relationship."
Cartwright retired soon after.
Reaction in the ranks
For each top commander accused of misconduct, there are thousands, or even tens of thousands, of troops who have served under them, met them and felt a personal connection to them. For example, one Army staff sergeant said he was stunned to learn about the demotion of Ward.
"I was shocked that guy was one of the nicest people I've ever met," the staff sergeant told Military Times, recalling a time working under Ward in Europe when the general greeted him warmly and asked after his wife by name. "I was personally kind of hurt that he did it … it seemed really out of character."
While reactions from troops to such news can run the gamut, such incidents can erode morale, said Donald Chisholm, a professor at the Naval War College who has studied officers.
"Some will say that it's silly, these guys are good at their jobs, leave them alone. Others will express disappointment. I can't think it's good for morale either way," Chisholm said.
Some try to simply ignore such news and focus on their own jobs.
"For the most part, we don't care about these guys," said one Navy captain. "They don't affect our daily lives. They don't get us more repair parts or underway time."
The past few weeks have reminded many troops of how rare it has become to see any discipline of top officers. Unit-level commanding officers are routinely fired for personal and professional failures the Navy in particular fires about one in every 100 COs before they complete their command tours but officers who pin on a star seem to enter a zone of protection.
"It's ludicrous that our O-5 and O-6 COs have 1 percent failures, but somehow our flags don't. Based on pure math, we should see three to five flag officers relieved for something each year," the Navy captain said. "We see, what, one?"
When it does occur, discipline faced by the highest-ranking officers often comes after saying the wrong thing to the wrong person.
Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal was fired as commander of the Afghanistan War in 2010 after disparaging key political figures to a Rolling Stone reporter.
And Adm. William Fallon was pressured to resign as CENTCOM chief after telling a writer for Esquire magazine that he disagreed with President George W. Bush's aggressive stance on Iran.
But it's rare for any top general or flag officer to face public reproach for making mistakes or showing poor judgment.
Ricks noted that Army Gen. Tommy Franks was widely criticized for his handling of Iraq in the critical months following the fall of Baghdad, yet he later received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And Army Gen. George Casey led the Iraq War from 2004 to 2007, a time when many critics now say the mission went adrift yet he became Army chief of staff.
"Being a general these days is like being a university professor with tenure: You keep your job as long as you keep your pants on and don't embarrass the institution," Ricks said.
One key exception may be retired Army Gen. David McKiernan, whose stint as commander of the Afghanistan War was cut short by Obama in June 2009.
Some military officials said he was fired for being an old-school officer who failed to adapt to and aggressively pursue newer, counterinsurgency-style strategies.
Public perceptions
The scandals among the brass come at a time when the public's tremendous faith in the military as an institution may be slipping.
Annual Gallup polls consistently show that people express a high level of confidence in the military as an institution when compared with others such as "the church," "big business" or Congress.
That peaked in 2009 when about 82 percent of Americans expressed "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the military.
Yet the figure fell to 75 percent this year, a level similar to that seen in 2006, when the public grew critical of the military's handling of the Iraq War.
For the public, the latest ethical lapses may suggest the military is not unique and its leaders are subject to the same challenges faced by civilians in powerful positions.
"It's an old narrative: Those at the top often become poisoned by their power," said Peter Singer, director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution. "We've unfortunately seen the same thing in business, politics, sports, on a regular basis. The difference is, I guess, we've come to expect the worst in these other once-respected institutions, even the church."
Whether the recent spike in senior officer investigations by the Pentagon IG office reflects a rise in actual misconduct or an increase in reports or complaints is unclear.
In some respects, standards of conduct evolve with society. Many of today's top officers entered service in the 1970s, when there were few women in the ranks, private lives were considered more private, and there was less scrutiny of bureaucratic procedures such as travel regulations.
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, for example, is widely believed to have had an intimate relationship with his female driver and secretary, Army Capt. Kay Summersby, when he was the supreme allied commander in World War II.
"In today's digital world, it's a lot harder to get away with these things. I'm not sure Ike could carry on with Kay Summersby in today's environment," Ricks said.
Some of today's senior misconduct also may be a symptom of the same relentless operational tempo that has worn out so many enlisted troops and junior officers since 9/11.
"They are human. Fatigue can set in. It can skew judgment," said retired Maj. Gen. Douglas Carver, chief of Army chaplains from 2007 to 2011 "I've counseled general officers who have suffered depression or post-traumatic stress … and what they are in need of is soul repair."

Logitech's new Wireless DJ for PCs
updated 11:45 am EDT, Tue August 8, 2006
Logitech Wireless DJ PC
The notion of streaming music wirelessly to audio systems throughout the house isn't new, but it typically comes with strings attached: you're often tied to one particular jukebox program and the formats associated with it, or else you need to buy complete additional models if there's more than one audio system involved. Logitech's $250 Wireless DJ for PCs promises better: while the custom software needed is Windows-only, it isn't jukebox in itself; instead, it aggregates the music libraries of several different apps (including iTunes, Musicmatch, and Windows Media Player) and streams all of them regardless of format. If you need to expand, you only need an add-on receiver for $80. We'll see the Wireless DJ in stores late in September.

|The Korean Naval Academy Museum was opened on January 17, 1976, on the 30th anniversary of the Korean Naval Academy. When it first opened, the museum consisted of only a small exhibition room, but later saw the addition of a life-sized, ironclad Geobukseon (turtle ship) on January 31, 1980. On February 23, 1981, an independent museum building was opened at the site and on April 28, 1990, the museum was expanded to its current size.
The museum (2,622 square meters in total area) is housed in two separate buildings (a two-storey building and a three-storey building) and boasts three exhibition halls (Yi Chungmugong Hall, Navy Hall, and Naval Academy Hall). The Yi Chungmugong Hall has on display 212 materials relating to the life of the famous Korean navel leader General Yi. At the Navy Hall, the history of Korea's Navy is on display. The history of the naval academy itself is celebrated at the Navy Academy Hall through the presentation of 315 artifacts. In the outdoor exhibition area, visitors are met by a life-sized turtle ship, cannons, and old anchors from the Joseon Era, as well as an S2 anti-submarine plane and an amphibious armored car used during the Korean War.

Monday Morning Cup O'Chiefs
Matt Cassel hasn't even played a game for the Chiefs, yet there has already been lengthy discussion about the contract status of the man expected to be the team's starting quarterback.
And there's no question that Cassel and his contract status will continue to be a major story for the 2009 Chiefs season.
There's always the chance a deal will get worked out to have Cassel tied up for a longer term than just one season. That could happen any day. But generally contracts get done when it's important for one side or the other to have a deal.
Right now, there is absolutely no reason for either side to hurry to the negotiating table, or more appropriately to hurry away from the negotiating table.
When the Chiefs made the trade with New England for Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel, they inherited the contracts those players had with the Patriots. With Cassel, that was the Franchise Player tender of $14.65 million for the 2009 season.
Cassel should send flowers to Bill Belichick every pay day for the rest of his career thanks to that offer. Here's a guy that started 15 games in the last eight years of college and pro football, and he'll be one of the highest paid players in the NFL for the 2009 season at that number. Oh, by the way, that money is guaranteed. Last year, Cassel made $520,000, the league minimum for a player with his years of experience.Â
It was easy for Belichick to slap the Franchise Player tag on Cassel because he knew that he would never have to pay the ticket. New England was going to (1.) trade Cassel, (2.) negotiate a longer term deal or (3.) remove the designation. When Cassel signed the Franchise Player tender, the Patriots options were down to 1 and 2, because his signature guaranteed the $14.65 million.
They choose (1.) and made the deal.
The best time for the Chiefs to work out a longer term deal with Cassel would have been in conjunction with the trade. Maybe a four-year deal for $25-30 million, with that guaranteed $14.65 million serving as a signing bonus. Given his status as a 15-game NFL starter, that would have worked out to about $6 to $7 million per year on the deal. When the Houston Texans acquired Matt Schaub in 2007, the deal was announced as a six-year contract for $48 million. In reality, it was a three-year deal for just under $20 million. Schaub had started just two games in Atlanta when the deal was made, thus the Texans protected themselves with the way the contract was structured.
That opportunity with Cassel passed and now we are two months from the first training camp practice and Cassel is still on the '09 books for $14.65 million. There was the rumor on the day of the NFL Draft that a long-term deal had been worked out, but it proved only a rumor.
From the Chiefs perspective, there is no hurry to get a new deal done. They have plenty of available space under the salary cap for the season. In fact, they need Cassel and his big deal to have any chance to reach the minimum payroll they must have under collective bargaining agreement rules.
And while Scott Pioli obviously believes Cassel can be an effective starting quarterback in the NFL, he's still an unproven commodity. It's one thing to start 15 games and direct your team to a 10-5 record when you have a veteran team around you, receivers like Randy Moss and Wes Welker, a good defense and a proven head coach in Belichick. It's another to be the trigger man for a team that has none of those advantages.
So there's a bit of a gamble for the Chiefs. If Cassel plays well, his value goes up. If Cassel struggles with a new team and situation, his value doesn't increase and may decrease.
From the perspective of Cassel and his agent David Dunn, there should be no hurry right now to get a longer term contract. The only bogey currently on Cassel's radar screen for a new contract and future money is the possibility of injury. Another can appear once the season starts, if he should not play well. If Cassel plays well, then his position improves.
There's an interesting twist to Cassel's situation. For the 2009 season he was an unrestricted free agent. With the league entering an uncapped season in 2010, free agency for players gets pushed to six seasons. So in 2010, Cassel will only be a restricted free agent.
The Chiefs could again make him the franchise player, but that would be at 120 percent of his '08 pay or $17.58 million. If they tendered him as a restricted free agent, it would cost $16.115 million, or 110 percent of his '09 salary.
If you are Cassel and Dunn, the starting point for a longer-term deal is at least $30 million guaranteed, because they figure to see that much in 2009-10. For a player with his experience in the league, that number is outrageous, but it's not a number that Cassel picked. It was picked for him.
There's an element of risk for both sides in playing out this contract situation.
No matter what happens, Matt Cassel will be a very rich young man.
One of the sad things about the staff cuts at the local fish wrap is that there are far fewer people around that building who have any idea how the NFL works.
In Saturday's Kansas City Star was a story about Chiefs safety Jarrad Page signing his tender offer from the club. The headline and the story seem to indicate that Page "decided to stay in Kansas City."
Page had no choice. As a restricted free agent, his ability to leave the Chiefs was, well … restricted. When the Chiefs gave him the tender offer – $1.545 million -Â it protected their rights and meant they were due compensation (second-round draft choice) from any team that decided to offer Page a contract.
None did, as the deadline for making offers to restricted free agents was April 17.
Again, Page didn't decide to stay in Kansas City when he signed the tender; he had no choice as to where he was going to play. He would not have been able to report to training camp without signing the tender. It was a mere formality.
Here's one more point: under the free agency rules of the past 15 years, as a four-year veteran Page would become a free agent after the 2009 season. But because the NFL owners have opted out of the current agreement, next year there is no salary cap.
So next year, Page will again be a restricted free agent.
With the NFL currently heading towards an uncapped year in 2010, there will be no releasing of players after June 1 to help with the salary cap.
What happened in the past was June 1 was an accounting benchmark. If a player was released before that day, then anything left on his contract was accelerated into that season's salary cap. If a player was released after June 1, then those accelerated monies would get pushed into the next season.
Since there's no cap next season, any future money that must be accounted for under the cap comes this season.
Born on Jun 1, 1963 in Cincinnati was RB Chris Smith. He spent two seasons in the NFL with the Chiefs (1986-87), appearing in four games with three starts. He carried the ball 26 times for 114 yards and caught two passes for 21 yards.

This entire Cassel contract business has mystery and possible trouble written all over it. On the one hand, the Chiefs almost HAVE to give the guy the starting QB job in 2009 regardless.
$14Mil QBs don't sit on the bench, afterall, so what level of genuine competition will there be? Umm, $14 Million to #7 and everyone else is now playing for the backup positions.
OK, so the guy stumbles out of the gate and stinks up the place. At what point do you bench a one year guy making $14Mil? And if you are forced to bench him, how much industrial strength cleaner will be needed to remove that big egg off Pioli's face?
What does this Cassel deal do for the morale of the rest of the team if he's only mediocre or worse? I think it's crazy not to take a leap of additional faith and get Cassel signed for a longterm deal NOW instead of playing out many 'what-if' scenarios down the road.
June 1, 2009 - Hemi7382 says:
The next few years for this new regime is not screwing itself by hurrying into a deal for Cassel. If Cassel did indead have a one year wonder season, then the Chiefs still have another quality option at quarterback: Tyler Thigpen.
Consider this one of many worse case scenareos: Cassel's first few games are less than steller. He throws an interception to touchdown ratio of 4 to 1 per game over the first few games of the season. Haley thinks he's seen enough, and in comes Tyler Thigpen. We all know how he performed with what he had last year, and it wasn't nearly the same kind of arsenal that Cassel had. Don't forget that Thigpen is still on the roster, and many folks out there believe he can be a legitamate starter in this league.
Regardless, I think that Cassel will sign a long term deal by the time the Chiefs play the Ravens opening day. I don't believe it will have anything to do with improving Cassel's morale, but it may have something to do with the Chiefs seeing enough of what he can do in Training Camp and in the Pre-Season to warrant him getting a new deal.
I'm not worried. We haven't even seen a pre-season game yet, and the calender is just now reading June. There's a lot of off-season left, and not a snap has been played. Besides, here's a question for some of you who think that Cassel has the starting job by default since he makes so much money anyway: Who was making more money when the Cardinals benched Leinart in favor of Warner last year before the season started?

This is what I've suspected the Chiefs were doing. I personaly think it's a smart play.
Rip, how much egg could possible be on Pioli's face? He only gave a second round pick for him and Vrable. If any thing, by holding off on a long term deal Pioli is putting anti-egg on his face. I don't see where the big gambel is, for the Chiefs anyway. It's not like a team can steal him away, if they franchise him it would cost a team 2 first round picks, or if the Chiefs go the RFA route and a team makes him an offer the Chiefs have a right to match it, if not then the Chiefs still get a first and a third round pick.
Pioli is playing this smart, in my estimation.
June 1, 2009 - boomer says:
Where are the Chiefs going to find good enough players to come up with the 15 million they need to pay to reach the Salary Cap FLOOR? Just going by Peter King's assessment of a couple of weeks ago. I'd always thought the June 1 date would be pretty important, but now…not so! It will be interesting to see how this plays out!
June 1, 2009 - dusty says:
Next year's situation without a player contract concerns me. Sure hope the league and players union adhere to the advice about not screwing up a good thing. Greed is always part of the equation when you are talking money. Being too greedy, however, may severely trim the wings of the golden goose, much as it has with MLB. IF the parties involved follow the MLB format, then we had all better enjoy this next season, because the good times will be over. May wise heads prevail!
June 1, 2009 - anonymous says:
I hear ya dusty! Looking more and more like no football in 2011.
I said the other day, the owners are going to try and screw the hell outta the Players and their union.

solid info about Page.
thanks, Mr. Gretz.
June 1, 2009 - Ratso says:
Pioli has been around Cassel his entire career so I think he knows what he's getting. Also, if anything the Chiefs have proven to be very shrewd regarding player salaries so I'll keep the faith until something goes wrong … not just speculation.
June 1, 2009 - arrowhead1978 says:
Cassel really didn't throw for all that yardage last year, whereas Thigpen threw for more of his yards. The patriots had the leading WR's in YAC last year. That helped balloon Cassels yardage numbers. He did have alot more sacks though with a better O-line.
We will see this year how good Cassel is, I for one think that Thigpen should have gotten his chance to start though, and they need to hold off till near the end of the season to get a long term deal done, if he ends up being pretty good, if not you deal him away to denver..
June 1, 2009 - SG says:
"…if not you deal him away to denver."
The old buy low, sell lower strategy?
June 1, 2009 - alex k says:
you do realize a higher yac often is due to the QB putting the ball in a place to catch and run, which thigpen rarely did…
June 1, 2009 - True Red & Gold says:
The risk that Pioli is taking here is the money. That is a lot of money spent if Cassel does not become a franchise QB.
It is true Cassel will go into training camp as the starter, there really is no doubt about that. Haley needs to win and win soon. If Cassel is not playing good enough to get the W than Haley will make a change, "if" he feels that gives him a better chance to win.
I don't believe it is a stretch to predict that Cassel will probably struggle along with the rest of the team this year. We will get to see just how much fight the guy has. If he can perform as good as Thigpen did last year he will keep the starting job for this year.
June 1, 2009 - ED says:
The Cassell not signing a long term deal is a nothing to do about nothing topic. Fact is Cassell had one good year the Chiefs shouldn't be in a rush to crown him the franchise make the kid earn his money. As for Cassell if he blows and has a bad yr he still going to make more money this season then he has made his whole NFL career. Either way I see Cassell having a solid season and a contract getting done around Week 5 to Week 8 and us end this talk about his contract situation.
Besides I do think he can be a good quarterback in this league. He doesn't have the Hollywood mentality like most recent USC quarterbacks Matt Leninart and Mark Sanchez seem to have which is the reason Leninart has struggled and the reason Sanchez will struggle in NY. The kid is humble and has a workman's mentality and it will continue to payoff for the kid in the league.

After having problems finding tis product in my area it was a pleasure to find it a6 Wll.ca and my furry friends love it too
Lamb & Rice was recommended to me by a vet years ago. Iam's may cost a little more but it is worth it. My 6 year old & new kitten both love it.
I have four indoor cats and they seem to like this quite a bit. It is not their absolute favourite, but they are OK with the texture and flavour. It is quite a thick food, which I don't think they like as much as more liquid ones, but at least it doesn't make a mess on the floor and the don't get hungry again as fast as they do with more liquid food. This brand has a good reputation.

Why They Get Pakistan Wrong
The Scorpion's Tail: The Relentless Rise of Islamic Militants in Pakistan—and How It Threatens America
Pakistan: A Hard Country
The past decade has been devastating for Pakistan. The country's annual death toll from terrorist attacks rose from 164 in 2003 to 3,318 in 2009, a level exceeding the number of Americans killed on September 11. Some 35,000 Pakistanis, including 3,500 members of security forces, have died in terror and counterterror violence. Millions more have been displaced by fighting. It is difficult to convey how profoundly the country has been wounded. In 1989, my Lahore American School classmates and I (including children from Pakistan, America, Canada, Sweden, Germany, and Korea) were able to go to the beautiful valley of Swat by bus for a weeklong field trip with no security arrangements whatsoever. In 2009, the battle to retake Swat from Taliban militants involved two full divisions of the Pakistani army and hundreds of casualties among Pakistani soldiers.
