From Halloweekend to Día de los Muertos, Chicagoland is brimming with eerie events, spellbinding shows, and wickedly fun Halloween-themed parties that give a whole new meaning to the phrase "ghost town."
But first, a few protips:
1. Explore the suburbs.
If you have the means to embark on a mini-adventure before the 31st, take a daytrip outside of Chicago to visit a beautifically autumnal pumpkin patch or an orchard for apple picking.
2. Embrace the power of the costume, but don't abuse it.
Halloween is the only time of year that you can walk around dressed like Wolverine or Obi-Wan Kenobi and receive little to no judgment from passersby, so why not seize the opportunity and geek out to your heart's content? Of course, an ignorant lapse in cultural sensitivity (or downright racism) does not count.
3. Enjoy the holiday while it lasts.
Do the Monster Mash, bake ghost-shaped Pillsbury sugar cookies, and treat yourself to repeated viewings of "Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire," "Hocus Pocus," and "Don't Look Under the Bed."
Also, make sure that you venture out into the city every once in a while, walk around in the brisk autumn air, and experience all of the Halloweentime joys that Chicago has to offer!

How cool is that?! I have been searching and searching for a local community service project that my young kids could participate in and have had no luck. Until......
We heard that there were local kids that had never had much of a birthday celebration and we knew we could definitely help out! I really admire people that are foster parents, they have such a tough job and share so much of their time, love, and talents. It's almost impossible to make every single child's birthday special. So, we have been working with our local agency and will be making a couple cakes a month--we'll feature some here for you.
This is a great family project, it's something we can all participate in! The kids can all help decorate and they have been so excited to help make someone else's birthday happy! Little H was a great helper!
First off is a birthday cake for Mr. C, an adorable little guy!
Of course he's never had a birthday cake, he's turning 1! He has 6 foster brothers/sisters living at his house, so we made two separate cakes. The first one is just for Mr. C, a huge fan of trucks:We bought an Eco Truck, filled the back with chunks of chocolate cake (Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge, yum!), and drizzled chocolate ganache on top. I wish I was there to see him get into it!
The family mentioned that they once had an "orange creamsicle" cake that they loved, so we made an orange jell-o cake for everyone (Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake mix and orange jell-o), complete with an edible picture of Mr. C driving a truck.
Happy Birthday, Mr. C!

US priests write letter of criticism to Pope Francis
Objections raised to cardinal's 'blunt' rebuke of US sisters
Picture: AFP Photo/Alberto Pizzoli
- Catholic News Service/National Catholic Reporter
- United States
- June 18, 2014
The Association of U.S. Catholic Priests in a letter to Pope Francis criticized the head of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for his recent comments chastising the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
The Seattle-based association, which claims 1,000 U.S. priests as members, focused its letter to the pope on comments made by the congregation's prefect, German Cardinal Gerhard Müller, in an April 30 welcoming address to LCWR leadership.
LCWR is a Maryland-based umbrella group that claims about 1,500 leaders of U.S. women's communities as members, representing about 80 percent of the country's 57,000 women religious. The group is currently undergoing a major reform ordered by the Vatican in 2012.
Müller's remarks were "self-confessedly blunt," said the letter, signed by Fr. David Cooper of the Milwaukee archdiocese, the association's president, and members of the group's board.
Dated June 2, the letter was released to the media June 12.
The prelate's comments included, among other things, the view that an LCWR award to one sister whose book was subject to doctrinal scrutiny "will be seen as a rather open provocation against the Holy See and the doctrinal assessment"; that LCWR is promoting futuristic ideas he described as "opposed to Christian revelation"; and there is "increasing concern" over the "directional statements" of some LCWR member congregations.
LCWR plans to give a major award at the group's annual assembly in August to St. Joseph Sr. Elizabeth Johnson. In 2011, the U.S. bishops' Committee on Doctrine criticized one of Johnson's books as containing "misrepresentations, ambiguities and errors" related to the Catholic faith.
The cardinal's remarks were released by the congregation "without any aspects of the subsequent discussion being included," the U.S. priests told the pope.
"Does that kind of premature, one-sided public comment build trust? Does it help the process or the public perception of the church?" the letter asked. "Rather it projects what many perceive as clerical/hierarchical bullying of religious women, publically shaming them. That is deeply regretful. A joint concluding statement after the discussions would have been more appropriate."

TÜV Rheinland Forms North American Brand Risk Group
TÜV Rheinland has appointed Robert Driggers as Business Development Manager for the newly formed North American Brand Risk Group. Driggers will manage TÜV Rheinland's proprietary Product Authentication and Control System (PACS) for North American customers.
TÜV Rheinland's PACS is a patented control and authentication program that can track, trace, and authenticate a product anywhere throughout its distribution channel. The online mass-serialization platform is accessible via handheld scanners or desktop or laptop computers and many of today's smart phones. It may be used by the brand owners as well as original equipment, private labeling and contract manufacturers, logistic providers, customs officials, and consumers to verify product authenticity, the company reported in a press release.
"The size and scope of the worldwide counterfeit problem is so large that one has difficulty even guessing at how large it is," said Driggers in the press release. "We know that US Customs made nearly 20,000 seizures of counterfeit products last year, worth an estimated $1.4 billion at legitimate MSRPs. What we don't know is the worth of the fake products that got through. Our new program is designed to give control of brand back to its rightful owner, its agents, government officials and ultimately, the consumer."
TÜV Rheinland's PACS integrates 12- to 16-digit randomly generated alphanumeric codes into existing labeling technology and production methods. Data include verification date, time, mode, location, and other customer-specified data. The system allows for hierarchal coding, allowing products to be verified down to its production time, country of origin, transit information, and others.
"While this system has been designed to battle counterfeiting, it also allows for direct communication between the manufacturer and the consumer, which can provide great benefits with regard to warranty claims or product recalls," said Driggers in the press release.
Driggers has previously served as CEO of Authenitrace LLC (Acworth, GA) and as CEO of Compton Tape and Label (Madison, NC). Before that he was southwest sales manager for Acucote Inc. (Graham, NC), where he helped develop the company's anti-counterfeit/product authentication product lines. He began his career in 1981 with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Burlington, North Carolina. Driggers is a frequent lecturer on the subject of traceability. He earned his bachelors of science in International Business from High Point University in High Point, North Carolina.

Galeries Lafayette is pleased to present for the third year its Paris & Création display windows. From 11 July to 5 August, eight cultural institutions will be taking over the display windows at the Galeries Lafayette store, on the Boulevard Haussmann.
The arrangements in eight shop windows will show the presence of Les Arts Décoratifs, The Centre Pompidou, the Cité de l'architecture & du patrimoine, la maison rouge, the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Palais de Tokyo, as in 2010, as well as two new participants this year, La Gaîté lyrique and Le BAL.
With Paris & Création, Galeries Lafayette dedicates its display windows to the service of art, giving passers-by a panoramic view of the range of what is culturally available in the city.
Each of these excerpts of exhibitions on display elsewhere offers a taste of the capital's artistic ferment in the fields of the visual arts, design, the digital arts and architecture. And each of the venues will represent an art, a neighborhood and an approach that reflects the geographic and cultural diversity of Paris. Whether a seasoned art lover or a newcomer to its pleasures, native Parisian or tourist from France or abroad, one and all will be happily surprised by the creative energy that has gone into these installations and soon, we hope, will be able to set off to experience these sites themselves.
The Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris is pleased to offer a glimpse of its extensive permanent collections.
Ariane Michel has been invited to select from those holdings a few works to be displayed along with her own films, thus dreaming up unexpected poetic connections.
This project returns to the playful rule first introduce for Apartés, a presentation based on the collections that renews the usual exercise of displaying art through the eyes of young artists. The particular dialogs that spring up between works generate rereadings of the original pieces as well as new narratives.

Following are capsulized looks at this weekend's high school football games involving York-Adams League teams.
FRIDAY GAMES Division III
YORK CATHOLIC (1-0) AT BERMUDIAN SPRINGS (1-0), 7 P.M. York Catholic's defense will have to find a way to control Bermudian's running game if the Fighting Irish expect to leave York Springs with a victory. The Eagles' trio of Colton Dull, Ryan Markle and Briton Shelton rushed for a combined 290 yards in last week's 34-27 victory over New Oxford. York Catholic, meanwhile, rallied for a 25-20 victory over Northeastern. Fighting Irish quarterback Hakeem Kinard passed for 207 yards and a touchdown. Qua'Shawn Grooms is a big-play receiver for York Catholic (four receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown on opening night).
BIGLERVILLE (1-0) AT FAIRFIELD (1-0), 7 P.M. Biglerville counts on the one-two running punch of Scott Cooper and Joe Hurda. Fairfield will counter with Nick Mort, who ran wild against Carson Long, racking up five touchdowns in the Green Knights' 72-14 romp.
EASTERN YORK (0-1) AT YORK SUBURBAN (0-1), 7 P.M. Eastern will bid to gets its offense untracked after managing a total of just 127 yards against Columbia. The Golden Knights have almost all of their skill position players back from last year, including quarterback Thomas Taylor. Suburban is also seeking more offense, particularly on the ground. The Trojans rushed for just 28 yards in a 26-7 loss to Susquehannock.
LITTLESTOWN (1-0) AT HANOVER (0-1), 7 P.M. Dustin DeGroft leads the Littlestown ground game, which also features L.J. Miles and Lucas Reynolds. Hanover will be seeking not only its first victory, but also its first score of the new season. The Nighthawks fell, 49-0, to Dover last Friday night.
YORK TECH (0-1) AT DELONE CATHOLIC (1-0), 7 P.M. Delone Catholic's Matt Guiffreda and York Tech's Calvin Savary each had tremendous opening weekends carrying the ball. Guiffreda rushed for 252 yards, and Savary racked up 159 yards. The Spartans may be able to move the ball on the ground at times, but they'll have a hard time stopping the defending District 3 Class A champions.
Other Games
CENTRAL YORK (1-0) AT CUMBERLAND VALLEY (1-0), 7 P.M. Central will have plenty of momentum coming off its 41-6 romp over West York, but the Panthers are taking on a perennial powerhouse this week. Cumberland Valley, which owns 12 District 3 championships, thumped Red Lion, 44-14, on opening night. The Eagles' Tyler Updegraff rushed for 214 yards. Central features the running of quarterback Dylan Hose and running back Breaun Randle (159 and 73 yards rushing, respectively, against West York) and a veteran, opportunistic defense that intercepted three West York passes and recovered four Bulldog fumbles.
JAMES BUCHANAN (0-1) AT NEW OXFORD (0-1), 7 P.M. James Buchanan counts on the backfield pair of Hunter Brown and Brady Hornbaker, who totaled 231 yards against Biglerville. New Oxford is looking to rebound from a hard-fought 34-27 loss to Bermudian Springs. The Colonials feature the running of Aaron Zinneman and Wes Beans (196 combined yards) and the passing of Anthony Lippy (7 of 14 for 88 yards and one touchdown).
NORTHEASTERN (0-1) AT COLUMBIA (1-0), 7 P.M. Northeastern quarterback Marcus Josey has both running and passing skills, and Jordan Kearse and Chris Whack key the Bobcats' rushing attack. Northeastern will be going against a Columbia defense that checked Eastern on 127 total yards. The Crimson Tide received 106 rushing yards from Michael Roberts in a 25-21 victory over their rival from the other side of the Susquehanna River.
RED LION (0-1) AT MANHEIM TOWNSHIP (0-1), 7 P.M. Red Lion is aiming to find a running game to complement the passing of Blake Cahill, who threw for 300 yards against Cumberland Valley. Manheim Township quarterback Davis Carr completed 10 of 15 passes for 111 yards in last week's 21-10 loss to Central Dauphin.
CEDAR CLIFF (1-0) AT SOUTH WESTERN (1-0), 7 P.M. Cedar Cliff, which hammered Conestoga Valley, 53-7, in Week 1, features a Division I college recruit at quarterback. Andrew Ford, who committed to Virginia Tech, passed for 209 yards and four touchdowns in the season opener. Ford racked up nearly 3,000 yards through the air and 35 TD passes in his junior year. South Western quarterback Tyler Sterner also delivered an outstanding performance in the season opener at Gettysburg. Sterner threw for 214 yards and three touchdowns. When Sterner doesn't throw the ball, he can hand it to Dillon Thomas (160 rushing yards last week).
SPRING GROVE (0-1) AT SUSQUEHANNOCK (1-0), 7 P.M. Spring Grove will attempt to get on the winning track following a 31-9 loss to Susquehanna Township. Andrew Luckenbaugh accounted for all of the Rockets' points with three field goals. Susquehannock displayed nice balance in its first game (186 rushing yards, 106 passing yards) in defeating York Suburban, 26-7. Warriors' quarterback Bryan Kerr, along with delivering the passing yards, earned 119 of the rushing yards.
YORK HIGH (0-1) AT LANCASTER McCASKEY (0-1), 7 P.M. York High and Lancaster McCaskey will clash for the 97th time in one of the state's oldest rivalries. McCaskey leads the series, 49-42-5. The Bearcats began the season by falling to a powerful Coatesville team, 42-7. The Red Tornado lost, 20-15, to Reading. Lancaster McCaskey led, 8-0, at halftime, but managed just 19 net rushing yards for the game. The Red Tornado returns just six players from last year's team. York wasn't hit as hard by graduation. The Bearcats return seven starters on defense and six on offense, including talented quarterback James Way.
DOVER (1-0) AT SO LANCO (0-1), 7:30 P.M. Dover's running backs shared the carries in the shutout of Hanover, with Dorran Ledbetter, Logan Ambrose, Jake McLean and Isaiah Green teaming for 225 yards. Solanco didn't get into the end zone in its first test, falling 42-0, to Penn Manor.
Saturday's Game
MILTON HERSHEY (0-1) AT KENNARD-DALE, 1 P.M. Milton Hershey, which lost the Cocoa Bean Battle last week to Hershey, 20-15, counts on running back Sharrdan Long and wide receiver Tre Brown. Brown grabbed four passes for 100 yards in the Hershey game. K-D moved the ball on the ground against Oxford (135 yards), but the Rams were victimized by seven turnovers.

Summary: The depth of the recent sell-off, coupled with the horrific and cowardly Boston Marathon bombing, seems to have shaken the confidence of the bulls a bit. The next few days will be important in regards to near term direction. We do not want to see yesterday's lows violated as it will suggest, at least temporarily, buying power is exhausted. In our opinion, especially with the historically weaker month of May rapidly approaching, the market needs to rebound and recapture lost ground very soon otherwise, the long awaited correction may be at hand.
Anecdotal sentiment, which had the pendulum stuck on skeptical for most of this rally, seems to have taken a bit of a swing back to the complacency of late. We even note the title of our last market note, "Teflon Market" as first hand evidence on the subtle comfort the upward market action has given us all. Market breadth, which has improved, has started to deteriorate again, and now looks more like a bump form short covering than a continuation of the durable and strong breadth seen earlier in the advance.

The Korean electronics giant has been making a big push in the Bay Area. CNET lays out some of the key businesses and players.
The big-screen Note line gets updated with two new designs, including one smartphone with a curved display. Samsung also shows off its virtual-reality headset, called the Gear VR.
Apple is expected to launch its own big-screen smartphones a week after Samsung's Unpacked event, putting more pressure on the Korean electronics giant.
Now you can "humblebrag" for knowing that "binge-watch," "side boob," "douchebaggery," "fandom," and other well-known slang terms are officially in Oxford Dictionaries.
For Samsung designers in San Francisco, the Gear Fit represents fashion-forward thinking and an effort to make the Korean electronics maker a trendsetter. CNET gets an inside look from design chief Dennis Miloseski on how the wearable came to life.
Apple's CEO takes a veiled dig at Samsung as he tells investors to be patient for new products.
Dale Sohn, the former CEO of Samsung's mobile business in the US, also testifies that a shift in the Korean company's sales and marketing efforts boosted its position in the smartphone market.
[commentary] If it wants a thriving line, Samsung shouldn't keep its Gear smartwatch family tied to just its own Galaxy phones. CNET explains why.
The rumored new fitness device could launch as an accessory to the Galaxy S5, SamMobile reports.
If there's one lesson to be gleaned from the myriad of wearables at the Consumer Electronics Show, it's the advantage of a streamlined, focused product.

Going to an evening show? Looking for a place to go for small plates and delicious drinks before? The new place on Avalon, called Duo's, is wonderful. Interior is redone, and warm and inviting. The food is delicious. A friend and I went this evening before a play, and it was yummy. Lumpia (the small crispy deep fried type, not the egg roll type), cold asparagus soup, really excellent apple salad with greens, apples, candied walnuts, and dressed to perfection. Then come the crab cakes and sliders..OMG! And dessert? vanilla gelato with salted caramel sauce, and a cookie (pizzelle-like), actually 2 cookies held together with more caramel. Needless to say, will definitely be going back. Oh, and the wait staff is great, patient, attentive.
This weekend is their grand opening...go... :)

The sight of Tom Petty at one bench and Kent Riggs at the other has become commonplace for fans of Mid-State League-Buckeye Division boys basketball.
Twice per season, every season, for almost 30 years. It's a shame that has to end, but it's been a meaningful run.
Bloom-Carroll and Canal Winchester is a rivalry that's gone back decades, and it's by far the best one in the area (something that's also previously been a topic of this column). It's no secret boys basketball has been one of the sports to carry a bulk of intensity between the two perennially successful programs. ...

Mr. Ty Robben protested in front of the DA's Office. I believe District Attorney Vern Pierson said at that time that Mr. Robben had a First Amendment right to protest.
Since then, Mr. Robben was arrested on false charges in Nevada and those charges were dropped.
I'm asking Mr. Pierson to expound on his interpretation of the Constitutional Rights of a citizen to protest so that all citizens will feel safe should we feel the need to protest as Ty Robben did.

West Seattle Crime Watch: Arbor Heights burglaryJune 27, 2013 at 1:39 pm | In Arbor Heights, Crime, West Seattle news | 39 Comments
Jen sends word of a midday break-in at her home in the 10400 block of 35th SW – she says she was gone between 11:15 am and 12:15 pm, and somebody kicked in the door, stealing a computer and jewelry boxes. If you saw anything suspicious, she says, please call police (who a reader says are currently in that general area).
39 Comments
This just leads me to believe people are watching homes. one hour is a real short time — do they knock and no one answers? this is just creepy!
Comment by AH Resident — 1:44 pm June 27, 2013 #
Yes, they are waiting and watching. Happened to us a couple weeks ago except I caught the guy and sent his license to the sherrif, luckily my dog probably scared him off. Be extra aware of people sitting in their cars or creeping up the road when you are leaving, and if it seems suspicious turn around and take a picture!
Comment by Seana — 1:56 pm June 27, 2013 #
I drove past there around 12:15 but unfortunately didn't notice anything unusual. There were 2 cars parked in the small side driveway of AH school (nearest the K classrooms), but didn't look suspicious. One was a light colored 4-door (maybe white, cream, silver). Sorry that happened, we've had our house broken into before, and it's just awful. Hoping a neighbor or someone else may have seen something.
Comment by Sorry that happened! — 1:58 pm June 27, 2013 #
They put everything in my black rollerbag suitcase and left with it, so if you saw anyone with that, please let police know.

Do we know if Alan Polivia is out of jail again? Seems like a possibility, anyway, that he or his friends are responsible.
Comment by Erin — 2:26 pm June 27, 2013 #
No, he's not. As reported last night (see the link in the sidebar BIG STORIES list), he has been charged with burglary, and bail remains at $75K. I checked the jail register, too.
Someone posted on the neighbor site of an older SUV cruising that area. Any chance it played a part in it?

Does putting alarm stickers and signs on your house help (even if your house isn't hooked up to one)?
Comment by AH Resident — 2:48 pm June 27, 2013 #
As far as alarm company signs, I was told once that the bad guys see those and just cut your phone wires first, since the alrams are hooked up to your phone. Don't know if that is urban myth or not.
Comment by Mike — 2:56 pm June 27, 2013 #
@AH Resident: Stickers don't help that much.
Checkout http://www.seattle.gov/police/prevention/neighborhood/cpted.htm
In addition, all defensive security, home or otherwise, is about layers. Neighbors that know each other, CPTED (see link above) are first layers. Then depending on how much you can afford (relative to what you want to protect): actual *properly installed* alarm systems, better locks, good home/bank safes for unused jewelry/electronics, good quality secure mailboxes (like MailBoss) are all useful deterrents to the casual smash/grab thief.
Comment by wsn00b — 3:04 pm June 27, 2013 #
A H Resident – I don't know any statistics but I figure if even there is the slightest chance they will move on if they see the sticker, why not?

@Mike "As far as alarm company signs, I was told once that the bad guys see those and just cut your phone wires first, since the alrams are hooked up to your phone. Don't know if that is urban myth or not."
If possible, this is why the newer cellular models are so nice (it's what we have, from ADT–they were out of stock on the wired so we got that instead free). The way they've explained it to me several times:
Alarm goes off. In 60 seconds they call us (not 911 yet) if we don't disable the system. If the phone line is cut, or power, doesn't matter–it has up to a week of backup battery. And it's cellular anyway, so they can cut whatever line they want to cut. Unless the burglar has a cell blocker, a giant faraday cage or an EMP bomb, they can't stop it's transmission.
If we tell them it's not us or ask them to call 911, they call 911. There are also Home and Away modes for the alarm. If the alarm triggers in Home mode and isn't disabled, it's a 911 call. In away mode it's repeated calls to us first.
If the alarm triggers in any mode and THEN signal is lost–i.e., the guy rips the box off the wall and somehow smashes/disables it–it becomes an instant 911 call.
I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
Comment by Joe Szilagyi — 3:28 pm June 27, 2013 #
I called police at 7:50 a.m. today because of 2 suspicious cars (old tan cadillac /old red hatchback ) in the AH Elementary play yard…an older man got out of one, changed into some white rain gear, pulled a large black trash bag out of his trunk. Weird that they were pulled all the way into the play yard. Supposively police were going to check it out?!!
Comment by AH Resident — 3:55 pm June 27, 2013 #
Do always be aware of the usual cars in the area & then know when there are unusual cars or strangers. Always look around and see if someone is sitting in a car. Go around the block if any question. Pretend someone is in the house by waving at the house or throwing a kiss. Our friend kept having break ins and got an alarm that is a motion deal and a nasty sounding dog barks if anyone gets a certain distance from it….it worked…no more problems. Of course, you know the crooks prob read our comments. However, they are thrown off by not being sure if someone is there, if there is a dog there that could cause harm, etc. Whatever you can do to cast that suspicion will help. With hot weather coming, be very careful with open windows! You know the crooks will be watching. Some people get heavy pieces of cut wood and block the windows so they will not open any further….have to be thick enough not to break when tried. You could have a big dog bowl on the porch & a little trash can with some dog poop bags….
Comment by Faith4 — 4:44 pm June 27, 2013 #
@AH Resident. That's disconcerting to hear about what you witnessed at 7:50 a.m. at AH Elem. I'm curious, where the cars pulled up on the actual playground by the play equipment or in the area by the dumpster?
Comment by AH Parent — 6:55 pm June 27, 2013 #
The best way to protect your home (from the smash and grab sort) is to make it hard to get in.. We have an alarm, a cellular one, but the fact is it takes the police a lot longer to get there than it takes them to run away with your stuff.
Comment by Tobias — 7:12 pm June 27, 2013 #
AH Parent- cars were on the actual playground…that's what caught my eye! They had to have gotten the gate pulled open somehow.

Jen, I'm sorry to hear about this. I live on your block, and had just gotten home about that time. Didn't see anything, but I have some suspicions. Do you have the name of an officer I can contact?

West Seattle Block Watch Captains Network on Face book, don't need to be a block watch captain to join this Facebook page. They post meetings in West seattle to learn more about crime prevention. I went to a meeting in May where West Seattle Officer Kiehn talked about how we can landscape our yards to deter home break ins . Useful tips I never really thought of before. Those little fake security stickers and beware of dog signs will deter a fair percentage of would be thieves.

WSBWCN also has a lot of information at http://wsblockwatchnet.wordpress.com – and we've covered many of their meetings, too. TONS of great info.
Around 5:30pm tonight a police car took a quick U-turn at 97th & 32nd Ave SW and stopped to talk to another police car. The 2nd car then took the same U-turn and they both sped up 97th west bound. I don't know if it was related or something else happened. Does anybody know?
Comment by AR — 9:05 pm June 27, 2013 #
@anonyme. contact me if you have any info we can follow up on. Anything is useful.
@AR, my officers were trying to follow up on leads they came up with and were in the area to look around.
I'm the sergeant in charge of the day shift in West Seattle. email me at email@example.com or call me at 206 233-7854 between 11:30 and 8:30 pm or leave me a voice mail
Comment by Sgt. Joe — 10:08 pm June 27, 2013 #
Dear WSB readers. Can we please leave poor Alan Polivia alone? I know that he is a criminal but he wasn't always that way. We were friends when he was younger and he just got caught up in the wrong things. That doesn't mean his life isn't worth anything and that everytime a break in happens we should ask where Alan is. He is a real person and his life is worth something. Next time we see him let's help him get his life back on track.
I do feel deep sympathy for burglary victims and losing your stuff sucks, don't get me wrong.
Comment by DC — 11:29 pm June 27, 2013 #
This is the second break in on 35th in Arbor Heights in a few weeks. I sent in a letter to WSB a bit ago that I had received from a neighbor. Description below the pic of the bike: http://westseattleblog.com/2013/06/west-seattle-crime-watch-alki-hit-and-run-3-reader-reports
I would encourage these neighbors to get in touch if they have not already. So sorry to hear about the break in. It can be hard to keep an eye out on 35th as it is such a busy street.
Comment by RickM — 6:50 am June 28, 2013 #
DC, actually Alan's actions have demonstrated that we should ask where he is when a break-in occurs. I would wager that every criminal "wasn't always that way," but it doesn't mean they need to be shown sympathy when they repeatedly terrorize a community.
Comment by AHNeighbor — 7:48 am June 28, 2013 #
DC ……. poor Alan Polivia? Get real!
Comment by phil dirt — 8:06 am June 28, 2013 #
I'd say his track record gives everyone cause to ask if he was involved when there is a break in. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 17 times…
Comment by CR — 8:09 am June 28, 2013 #
I also saw the Police speaking to some people (homeowners) on 106th just past 35th last night at around 6:45 ish. I wonder if it was related?
Comment by Wes C. Addle — 11:02 am June 28, 2013 #
A house on our block of 98th/33rd got robbed last week a few hours after we reported a suspicious vehicle (white Chevy panel van w/ 2 guys inside) around 8:30 am. We drove past them and they drove off so we decided to drive around the block. When we did, we noticed they just parked the car on the other side of the street. I got back an hour later and noticed that they had all this yard equipment outside of the van and felt bad for thinking that they were suspicious. But funny thing, they were wearing street clothes, not yard working clothes with one wearing very baggy jeans that he was holding up with his hand. I actually thought to myself that it must be hard to mow a lawn with those pants.
Then I noticed later on that day that someone got robbed around that time, and am now thinking that the yard stuff were things they were stealing from the house. Anyways, we reported this activity to police and called back when we found out a neighbor got robbed, but nobody even asked us for a description of the 2 people in the van. Thank goodness we took a picture of the vehicle with license plate.
Comment by BG — 11:29 am June 28, 2013 #
I am very sorry to hear of continued and brazen break ins in my neighborhood. We were burglarized end of March in Arbor Heights a few days after we moved in. They were watching us. There was an old red hatchback outside the day before with a guy pretending to work on it, as someone mentioned above. Unfortunately, we were new to the hood so we didn't stop to talk to him.
Comment by Evena West — 11:51 am June 28, 2013 #
Point taken. But I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. What I'm trying to say is that we're all broken and in need of help. Some of us at deeper levels than others. Let's look at how we can help a person like Alan. He was dealt a bad hand and is getting by the only way he knows how and unfortunately that is "terrorizing" people. As a community let's try and show a little grace. Alan can change his ways and we should try and help him instead of badmouthing him in the comments of a blog
Comment by DC — 1:16 pm June 28, 2013 #
DC, I'm open to suggestions on how you think we can help Alan.
Comment by AHNeighbor — 4:01 pm June 28, 2013 #
AHNeighbor: Think of Alan as Jean Valjean from the literary classic Les Miserables. When Valjean was released from prison nobody would give him work or take him in because of his criminal background. Out of kindness one man decided to take him in. Valjean repayed that man by stealing from him and when he was caught and questioned by police he lied about it and said the man gave him the goods. When the police made Valjean confront his victim to see if he was telling the truth the man scolded Valjean for not taking the silver candlesticks too. Valjean had never been shown grace like that before and it literally transformed his life.

robbers who break in may get shot too. You know you you are.
Comment by nop — 10:34 pm June 30, 2013 #
@ DC, obviously you are joking, perhaps your humor regarding this scum would be better received elsewhere – Alan Polevia has stolen from, and damaged, too many people's homes, automobiles, property – including mine. I wish nothing more (most likely to be let down knowing our judicial process) that he be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and receive brutal, relentlessly painful treatment while incarcerated. However I wholeheartedly invite you to welcome this human waste into your home, fund his drug habit, and pay his legal expenses. Oh wait, what's that, you can't do that? You can't afford it? Well – neither can the working, responsible residents of AH. May he pay for what he's done.

The .Amazon Domain Might Go To The River, Not The Retailer
A whole host of .names are joining the familiar .coms and .EUs of the world. But Amazon may not get to call itself after the river. You're next, Patagonia.
The body in charge of the Internet's name conventions, ICANN, has approved the first of a coming wave of generic top-level domains that will dramatically expand the list from the familiar .com and .co.uk and so on. The four new domains are:
شبكة —Arabic for "Web"
游戏 —Chinese for "Game"
онлайн —Russian for "Online"
сайт —Russian for "Web site"
But in debates about other controversial top-level domains, ICANN indicates that Amazon may lose its application for .amazon. Why? Because the same name applies to, you know, the world's second longest river, which flows through Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. U.S. firm Patagonia applied for .patagonia, but is now thought to have withdrawn the claim on the understanding that ICANN would turn it down in favor of the actual South American region.
The ongoing rulings will be closely watched by companies and governments around the world because they will have significant implications for companies like Google, and also because they'll influence PR efforts and lawsuits for years to come.

And this is going to be just the beginning of these domain battles...
What does the Amazon river need with its domain name? Are piranhas making those hipster food blogs?

Big op, big pain... for menComment on this story
London - Men experience more pain after major surgery than women, scientists claim.
In contrast, women tend to be in greater pain after relatively minor surgery such as diagnostic procedures and biopsies, according to research.
Experts suggested the results could be explained by the fact women are more likely to live with conditions that cause chronic pain, so a small amount of additional pain had a disproportionate effect.
Researchers at the Medical University of Graz, Austria, interviewed 10 200 patients, 24 hours after their operations.
Their findings suggested gender did not matter when all types of surgery were combined and analysed as a whole.
However, after arranging data according to different kinds of surgeries, the sexes showed significantly different results.
Men were found to be 27 percent more likely to experience a greater number of moderate pain episodes after major vascular and orthopaedic surgery.
But women were 34 percent more likely to report higher pain ratings after minor procedures.
Presenting their findings at the Euroanaesthesia meeting in Stockholm, the researchers said: "Gender differences on pain perception are still heavily disputed.
"Our data does not definitely clarify this issue; however, based on our findings it can be presumed that the type (and severity) of surgery may play a pivotal role." - Daily Mail

Motorola Defy confirmed for T-Mobile US
updated 01:25 pm EDT, Mon September 13, 2010
Moto Defy to reach T-Mobile USA by end of year
Motorola today quickly confirmed a North American version of the Defy for T-Mobile. The ruggedized Android phone will ship by the holidays and will get an unusual debut today on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It's so far characterized as a US exclusive for the Americna carrier.
The Defy is one of the first touch-only phones to be designed with resistance to dust, scratching and water, and is also the fastest with an 800MHz TI OMAP chip. It runs Android 2.1 with the full Motoblur social networking layer on top and currently only supports Flash Lite for a plugin. As a smartphone it has a typical 3.7-inch display, a five-megapixel camera, GPS and Wi-Fi, but its outdoor-focused design gives it a dual microphone that reduces wind noise and other background sounds during a call.
T-Mobile hasn't priced the phone, but its feature set should put it below $200 on contract.

Dell Streak 7 may already have Android 3.2 update
updated 06:20 pm EDT, Sat October 1, 2011
Dell Streak 7 may have Honeycomb update early
Dell's promise of an Android 3.2 update to the Streak 7 may have come true early after multiple anecdotes of the update. A handful of owners, so far of the UK version with unlocked 3G, have reported getting the new OS. While one has said the upgrade looks "great," another pointed out that it was "glitchy" and might have been rushed.
Wi-Fi users and Americans haven't reported getting the update yet. Dell may be using a frequent strategy for updates of upgrading a small batch of users to gauge how well it works in real-world conditions before upgrading wider groups.
Dell hasn't commented on whether the upgrades have started.
The Streak 7 may be one of the lower-end tablets to get Android 3.2 and could even skirt the limits of Google's official upgrade. Although fast enough through its dual-core Tegra 2 chip, it has an 800x480 screen where Google officially wants 1024x600. Dell's status as a company along with the seven-inch screen size may have helped it get by where others would have to stop with Android 2.3 or earlier.

With Stark County poised Tuesday to vote on Issue 29, a 0.5 percent sales tax to fund criminal justice services, CantonRep.com analyzed data from across Ohio to compare the sheriffs and gauge the county's sheriff staffing and salaries. Our findings: Stark has less staff, funding.
Stark County voters will see Issue 29 on their ballots Tuesday. It asks whether commissioners can levy an eight-year, 0.5 percent tax on most purchases to fund criminal justice services.
Passage means Sheriff Timothy Swanson can recall the remaining 29 of the 41 employees he laid off in December, reopen the 200 inmate beds in the county jail and eventually return more cruisers to road patrol.
Failure means Swanson will issue roughly 70 more layoff notices before Christmas, leading to more empty cells — and more criminals on the street — as police would be forced to give arrestees a summons to appear in court rather than take them to jail for booking.
Swanson said layoffs are his only option because he's already made cuts. Most employees haven't seen a raise in three years and now pay more for health care than a few years ago. Nonunion employees forfeited longevity pay this year to help save a clerk from layoff.
Tax-weary residents question whether sheriff employees have sacrificed enough to justify the additional $22 million in annual revenue from the tax. They contend salaries and benefits are excessive and unsustainable and should be shaved before voters approve a tax.
CantonRep.com sought to add context to the debate by comparing the Stark County Sheriff's Office to sheriff departments in similar counties and to staffing levels since 2007, the first full year after the county opened an additional jail wing.
Here are the statistics:
• Comparing Sheriffs in 5 like Ohio counties.
• Sheriff Health Insurance Contribution.
• Sheriff Employee Retirement Benefits.
The comparisons show that Stark County:
• Has the fewest sheriff employees of any county surveyed.
• Employs more supervisors (chief deputies, captains, lieutenants, sergeants) compared to noncommand employees than peer counties despite the retirement of two captains earlier this year.
• Spends less on sheriff personnel now than 10 years ago.
• Pays most employees a lower average salary than other counties, especially for clerks. Those salaries are balanced with a more generous benefits package. Stark employees contribute less to health insurance than peer counties, partly because the Stark County Deputy's Association provides its own plan that offers a better rate than the county's plan.
