Sergeant John M. Russell, a 44-year-old radio communications specialist, is charged with premeditated murder and aggravated assault. However, his court-martial is temporarily on hold until he is determined mentally capable of assisting in his own defense. Until that time, Russell is confined at the Butner Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina.
Earlier, Russell was assessed by a panel of doctors, found to be incapable of assisting in his own defense. As a result of this determination, his court-martial was placed on hold and he was confined in the Butner Federal Medical Center. Under Rule for Court-Martial 909, Russell may not be brought to trial by court-martial if he is presently suffering from a mental disease or defect that renders him mentally incompetent to the extent that he cannot understand the nature of the proceeding or cooperate intelligently in his defense. The rule requires Russell to be hospitalized for a period not exceeding four months, unless there is a substantial probability that he will attain the capacity to permit the trial to proceed in the foreseeable future. In such a situation, an additional reasonable period of time is permitted.
Once Russell is mentally cleared for trial, the Army will immediately proceed with its court-martial. However, if Russell is not mentally cleared for trial after a reasonable period of time, he will be subject to indefinite hospitalization under federal law.

UL Lafayette running back Effrem Reed (31) attempts to shake the tackle of Tulane cornerback Jordan Batiste (14) on a run in the first half Saturday. Paul Kieu/Gannett Louisiana
- Filed Under
LAFAYETTE -- Tulane threw UL for a bit of a loop early on, coming out in a defensive scheme that was nothing like the man-to-man for which the Ragin' Cajuns spent all week prepping.
But the Cajuns did some throwing of their own Saturday. They did a whole lot of running too.
And they ultimately had no trouble rolling over the Green Wave, winning the non-conference homecoming game 41-13 in front of 29,758 at Cajun Field and improving to 4-1 overall with eight straight home wins under second-year head coach Mark Hudspeth. ...

About Us
History of First State Bank
The State of Texas issued the original charter to Mesquite State Bank on July 6, 1962. The Bank opened in the old lumberyard building beside the railroad tracks, just off the square. The doors opened for business in November of 1962 and the bank moved to the present location in the summer of 1963.
Many of the original stockholders were from Mesquite. The first president was Harold Ensey.
On May 29, 1963, controlling interest in the Bank was sold to Seagoville Investments. Mr. "Pappy" Reeves owned Seagoville Investments. Mr. Reeves owned or controlled other area banks also. Joe Baker was elected president of the bank upon the sale.
The Shotgun Land and Cattle Company, Inc purchased control of the Bank on April 27, 1965. It appears that Scott Hudson was elected Chairman of the Board and president of the Bank at that time.
By 1968, the Bank was experiencing difficulties. The stock was devalued and controlling interest was passed to Reuben Knight of Wichita Falls.
On January 8, 1969, Mr. Knight's trustee transferred his interest to another group. It appears that Ralph Milburn was elected Chairman of the Board and D.A. Weckworth as elected president.
On April 1, 1970 Briggs Todd purchased control of the Bank. He was
immediately elected Chairman of the Board and President. He brought
his son John Todd and son-in-law Ron Price on board at that time.
Mr. Todd and his family, eventually, purchased the entire Bank. The family continues to own the Bank and remain active. Unfortunately, Mr. Todd passed in January 2010, his son John Todd and granddaughter Rona Lee Price are directors. His grandson, Todd Price is director and President of the Bank. Grandchildren John Todd Jr. and Charles Todd also work at the Bank.
The Bank's name has changed from Mesquite State Bank, to First State Bank, to First State and Savings Bank and back to First State Bank since 1970, but management has remained the same.

Barrington Irving inspires Warrington Elementary and Warrington Middle students Monday while sharing his story of breaking a solo flying world record.
- Filed Under
The sounds of nearly 200 "Oohs" and "Ahhs" filled the cafeteria of Warrington Elementary School this afternoon as the day's guest flashed through a series of photos. They marveled at images of intricate aircrafts and faraway lands.
"Now, if you'll go to the next slide ... this is the airplane I used to fly around the world," special guest Barrington Irving told the elementary students. "It's the fastest single-engine airplane. It costs $650,000."

Why We Need Schools To Uplift Their Communities Now More Than Ever

of adventure, connection, and change making.
At this point, it\'s not enough to just say \"no\" to reforms. We also need to have alternative solutions for our children.
Operating half-empty schools needless costs money that could be better used to educate students in schools with enough students to offer a range of academic offerings. When private schools have too few students in their buildings, they close.
The idea that so many students in these closing schools are poor, and of color, begs a number of questions. Are they being served? What are the outcomes for them? Would keeping the same schools open somehow put them on the path to happy, successful lives?
I predict the answer is no. Nostalgia about the names of schools is no replacement for schools that actually fulfill their mission: to educate children and prepare them for successful lives in the American economic mainstream.
Further, the argument about replicating the University of Chicago School is troublesome. How exactly should public schools replicate a selective admissions school? The idea that remediation or supposedly joyless "drill and kill" schooling is something the wealthy would never endure for their own kids is silly. If their kids become three grade levels behind and it threatens their future in the first class, you better believe it would be "drill baby drill" or anything that would put their kids back on track.
Emotive arguments built upon maintain a way of life (jobs in half-empty schools) should not stop adults from doing what needs to be done for kids.
I've heard Kiva is considering expanding their model to fund large scale community projects, like building schools. Do you think that would help?

Singapore Night Safari
You really do see them in a different light
What we say:
Ever been to the zoo when the lions weren't napping? "See them in a different light" is the motto of this zoo spin-off and it's true.
Many animals normally dozing through the daytime heat are awake and active come the evening. The simulated moonlight lets you get a good look and a few blurry photos of big cats, hyenas and deer and you can get a little too close for comfort with bats and flying squirrels in walk-through enclosures.
One disappointment — some animals can only be viewed from the tram ride, which is an extra S$10/$5 on top of the already sizeable admission fee.

Canada Condemns the Deadly Attacks on Baghdad
(No. 315 - October 25, 2009 - 6:30 p.m. EDT) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement regarding the double bomb attacks that occurred in Baghdad this morning, killing more than 130 people and wounding more than 500:
"Canada is appalled and gravely concerned by today's two deadly bomb attacks in Baghdad, near the Justice and Foreign Affairs Government buildings, which took many innocent lives.
"Canada condemns these cruel and unjustified acts of violence. We are confident that such affronts on the Iraqi people will not weaken the country's strong desire to establish a secure, stable and unified democracy.
"On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my sincere condolences to the families and friends of those killed and injured in the bombings. Our thoughts are with the Iraqi people.

|Combined human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) treatment in gonadotropin-deficient males with pituitary dwarfism.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1621528 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The effects of hCG-hMG treatment in 13 boys with pituitary dwarfism associated with gonadotropin deficiency, were assessed. No patients except one showed signs of puberty at a bone age of 13 years or above. The one patient with some signs of puberty did not become fully mature. The hCG-hMG was started at a mean age of 20.4 years. The hCG at a dose of 5,000 IU was injected intramuscularly twice a week and the hMG at a dose of 75 IU was given once a week at first. During treatment, the frequency of hMG injections was increased to twice a week in six patients who still had not produced normal sperm counts. After a mean duration of 19.23 months, spermatozoa appeared in eight patients, of whom four showed more than 20 x 10(6) sperm/ml. Among six patients who did not have normal sperm counts and had increased hMG injections, one produced a pregnancy and four achieved sperm counts of more than 35 x 10(6)/ml. One patient had refractory azoospermia. In 13 boys with growth hormone and gonadotropin deficiency, hCG-hMG treatment produced normal spermatogenesis in nine patients, one of whom fathered a girl. Thus, hCG-hMG treatment, especially twice-a-week injections of both hCG and hMG, appears to be effective for gonadotropin deficiency in males.

Lincoln running back Travis Hearns races for a long run in Friday's game at Cox Stadium against Rickards.
The high-flying, quick-strike offense of North Florida Christian proved too much for Jefferson County as the Eagles defeated the visiting Tigers 45-12 Friday night to remain undefeated.
"We played fast. That's kind of who we are," NFC coach Robert Craft said. "(When) you start fast, good things will really happen."
The Eagles offense started fast when quarterback Justin Moore completed a 58-yard pass to Jakari Allen on NFC's first offensive play. Two plays later, the duo connected again, this time for a 1-yard touchdown completion. ...

Moore: Cowboys likely steer clear of Dunta Robinson, Julius Peppers
SportsDay's Dallas Cowboys beat writer David Moore answered questions in a chat on Tuesday.
Should the Cowboys pursue Dunta Robinson or Julius Peppers?
I don't think you'll see that happen. The Cowboys did an outstanding job in free agency last year picking off players who didn't have big names or require big contracts. You will see a similiar approach this off-season.

Sheriff's deputies say the three had items on them used to make meth. They were reportedly carrying lithium batteries, coffee filters, pliers, 97 pseudoephedrine pills and jars. Deputies say they also found two hypodermic needles on the two men. They say all three were intoxicated.
Authorities arrested all three. Deputies charged 25-year-old William Bailey of Bronston with public intoxication and manufacturing meth. The other man arrested, 30-year-old Edward Sneed of Somerset, was charged with public intoxication, manufacturing meth and possession of drug paraphernalia.

'Trek Nation' trailer
Roddenberry has finally finished the film and today Roddenberry Productions has launched a new promotional website along with a new trailer.
[Running time :2:30]
For the past few years Roddenberry and director Scott Colthorp have been hard at work distilling all the footage into a film, and that work is now done.
Roddenberry Productions is currently looking for distribution.
Trailer looks good. It's one-type of documentary. It touches on a lot of things. Looks like they are saving the special '500 Hours of previously unseen video footage' for the film itself and not in the trailer...
DS9Sega wrote:
I gotta wonder about the legality of this. Behind the scenes footage is one thing, but there is still tromping into copyright territory if you're showing too much of some intellectual property you don't own.
I think they are talking more about how the show started and it's impact on the world. Similar to the 2 hour documentary:
How William Shatner Changed the World
This will sell well on Blu-ray and DVD world-wide.
Cinema release? I don't think it would do too well commercially.

It has been over four years signed ACA (originally PPAHCA; colloquially Obamacare) was signed into Law. Why is there at least as much controversy and outright anger today as there was prior to March 23, 2010? There are at least seven reasons why the ACA pot keeps boiling over.

With only 5 percent of the world's population, the United States has 25 percent of the world's incarcerated persons. As members of a society that has the highest rate of incarceration, it is our moral and ethical duty to question the treatment of individuals behind prison walls.
Have you ever read the United States Constitution? It's 4,543 words long including the signatures. But after reading it, there's one thing that should be absolutely clear: We, as Americans, are the luckiest people in the world.
Logic and facts have gone out the window, replaced by a rhetoric that's no less persuasive in the public square for making absolutely no sense.
If Republican leaders begin to act more like public servants and less like non-thinking fundamentalist soldiers, we might begin to repair our political system. If not, their absolutism will plunge us into unspeakable economic darkness.

"The Smurfs" Inspired "Seinfeld"?
Watched a classic episode of "The Smurfs" a couple weekends ago with my daughter. The episode centers on Jokey Smurf betting that every other Smurf that they could NOT perform the action they're best known for for a day. If they could do that, he wouldn't play a joke on them for a full year. Vanity had to not look at himself in the mirror. Grouchy couldn't frown. etc. etc.
And, one by one, they all fall. (To be fair, one gets caught by Gargamel, who is ultimately defeated by his own inability NOT to open an early birthday present from his mother that was actually a Trojan Horse sent by Papa Smurf, proving that a little willpower isn't such a bad thing.)
I couldn't help think that this show laid the groundwork for the classic Seinfeld episode, "The Contest." The Smurfs were a good decade or decade and a half ahead of their time. If only Vanity Smurf had walked into Jokey's mushroom house, smacked his money down on the table and said, "I'M OUT!" as he looked into his mirror…

Preview: Jason Limon Offers Blood and Nectar in New ShowJuxtapoz // Sunday, 10 Oct 2010
Texas native Jason Limon takes viewers on a visual journey to a land inhabited by odd, albeit friendly, characters that take on a narrative quality when viewed as a collection. His new acrylic series, Blood/Nectar, explores his fascination with nature and organic life forms.
Blood/Nectar will open at NYC's Bold Hype Gallery this Thursday, October 14th. Here are a few of our favorites in the show, but you may view a full preview at Bold Hype online.
About the artist:
Jason Limon was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1973. He first showed his artistic expression at a fairly young age doodling characters and sceneries inspired by his bustling neighborhood and surroundings.
He entered the field of commercial graphic design in 1995 acquiring comprehensive knowledge of type, color and composition. Following twelve years of commitment to producing award winning logos and designs he then turned his focus and concentration to where his heart truly began: developing artwork by hand and brush, no longer by the clicks of a mouse.
He is currently creating gallery work and commercial illustrations, some of which can be seen in Communication Arts, Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, American Illustration, Print Regional Design and Graphics.
The opening reception for Blood/Nectar is Thursday October 14th from 6 – 9pm
Open to the public; Jason Limon will be present

MADRID/WASHINGTON, DC – As revolutionary change sweeps across the Arab world, it is easy to think that now is not the time to push for peace between Israel and Palestine. Until the dust settles on the new Middle East, the old roadmaps seem dated, and conventional wisdom holds that progress toward a peace agreement in the face of regional upheaval is wishful thinking.
But the opposite is true. Even with so many failed efforts in the past, there is a clear window of opportunity for the United States and Israel to urgently push for a lasting settlement.
Everyone needs to start thinking differently about the Middle East. The international community's old approach was to prioritize stability over democracy and pursue Israeli-Arab peace on a completely separate diplomatic track. This policy proved to be a failure – placing stability ahead of democracy brought neither, and isolated peace efforts went nowhere.
If the US and other world powers want to make headway on their three key objectives – stability, political reform, and peace – they need to understand how they are linked and pursue all three simultaneously and holistically. Picking and choosing which challenges to care about only increases the risk that they will become intractable problems instead.
The US has been behind the curve from the moment the turmoil sparked, trying to play catch up as two authoritarian governments were toppled by popular protest and more regimes try to cling to power as long as they can. The US needs to get out in front. And, as the US and the broader international community attempt to address the unfolding events, it would be a mistake to leave the peace process off the agenda.
Whereas the demands of Arab demonstrators concern governance at home, the current turmoil can be used to help end a conflict that has confounded the world for decades. Delaying the Israeli-Palestinian peace process would be a costly blunder. As we know from bitter experience, waiting only makes a peace settlement harder to achieve.
For the US, sympathy for Arab publics yearning for freedom cannot exclude compassion for Palestinians dreaming of lives of dignity, which for them includes ending the occupation. The US should not be selective in its support for freedom and democracy. This has never been more true than today, and if America is not seen as an avid supporter of a two-state solution, it will stay well behind the curve and damage its own interests in the Middle East.
Israel also needs to revisit its policies. As political reform achieves results, Israel will no longer be able to claim that it is the only democracy in the Middle East; with conditions changing on the ground, it will be increasingly difficult to ignore Palestinians' demand for independence. Israel's concern that the region will grow more hostile will become a self-fulfilling prophecy if new democracies see the Israeli government impeding steps toward a viable and just solution. At the same time, a peace process backed by elected and more legitimate Arab governments will actually help solidify long-term peace and stability.
With time for a two-state solution quickly running out, a speedy settlement is in everyone's best interest. Waiting and hoping for more favorable conditions could easily backfire. If there is no movement toward peace as new Arab democracies take shape, negative views of Israel and the US will be hardened.
And, as we have all witnessed in recent months, Arab public opinion clearly matters. Bad perceptions only complicate future peace efforts, making a breakthrough even less likely. And the US could have less of a role in a new Middle East with new governments less forgiving than their predecessors about the continuation of the occupation.
To argue that peacemaking can't be successful when governments and regimes are in flux ignores the fact that it is precisely in such circumstances that outsiders can help shape the process. Instead of operating in an environment with little influence or room for maneuver, pushing the peace process now could help endear the Arab public to the West and give the US more sway in the new Middle East. We don't need never-ending bilateral negotiations between Israel and Palestine; there needs to be a regional solution.
Tomorrow's Middle East will not be the same as it was a mere two months ago, but the shape the region will ultimately take is unknown. The US has a chance to get on the right side of history and help shape its direction by supporting real reform and advancing a deadlocked peace process. In the end, an uprising against poor governance presents an opening to achieve not only democracy, but also stability and peace. This crisis, like so many others, would be a terrible thing to waste.

Apple previews new .Mac email UI
updated 10:55 pm EDT, Tue September 26, 2006
New .Mac email UI coming
Apple has posted a preview of its upcoming .Mac interface overhaul, which will make the paid web service look like its propietary email application built for Mac OS X: Mail.app is bundled free with every Mac and offers users the ability to download, sort, and organize both POP and IMAP-based email on the desktop. The overhaul will apparently bring the Mail.app UI to the Web, offering an indentical look along with similar functionality, such as drag & drop functions for single and multiple email, a three-pane interface to preview messages without leaving the window, section-based refreshes to reduce complete page loads, quick-reply functions to easily respond without leaving the window, a built-in, fully integrated Address Book, message flagging, and keyboard shortcuts.
Many of the same email functions are offered by other free email services, such as Google's Gmail and Yahoo Mail; however, Apple charges a $99 per year premium for its services, but includes more than just email and is well integrated with the Mac OS X operating system. These services include iWeb integration, iPhoto photocasting, iDisk for storing/uploading files, sync functions for multiple computers, data backup functions, photo galleries, simple group collaboration/messaging, and more. The service is offered at a $30 discount for the first year when purchased with a new Mac.

Cherry angioma
A cherry angioma is a noncancerous (benign) skin growth made up of blood vessels.
Alternative Names
Angioma - cherry; Senile angioma
Cherry angiomas are fairly common skin growths that vary in size. They can occur almost anywhere on the body, but usually develop on the trunk.
They are most common after age 30. The cause is unknown, but they tend to be inherited (genetic).
A cherry angioma is:
- Bright cherry-red
- Small -- pinhead size to about 1/4 inch in diameter
- Smooth, or can stick out from the skin
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will look at the growth on your your skin to diagnose a cherry angioma. No further tests are usually necessary. Sometimes a skin biopsy may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Cherry angiomas usually do not need to be treated. If they are affect your appearance or bleed often, angiomas may be removed by:
- Burning (electrosurgery/cautery)
- Freezing (cryotherapy)
- Laser
- Shave excision
Outlook (Prognosis)
Cherry angiomas are noncancerous. They usually do not harm your health. Removal usually does not cause scarring.
Possible Complications
- Bleeding if the growth is injured
- Changes in appearance
- Emotional distress

About NEFCO Fire Investigations
NEFCO is the most progressive fire investigation company serving over half of the United States. NEFCO now services the entire Northeast region, Mid-Atlantic region, Southeast region and most of the Midwest. The company was established and founded in 1993 by James R. Eddy.
Continuing with our tradition, NEFCO has now grown to having more than 70 investigators, all of which are W2 employees, who average over 20 years of experience in either fire or police service, or both. NEFCO has investigators that are court-qualified experts in their field; they are well versed in NFPA 921 and have extensive court experience. We offer comprehensive investigations ranging from small buildings, vehicles, and heavy equipment to large commercial properties. Our experience in fire investigations, processing fire scenes, testing of evidence, and court experience has resulted in our clients recovering millions of dollars.
In addition to our expert fire investigators, we offer electrical engineers who perform vital scene examinations as well as destructive and non-destructive testing, which completes the origin and cause investigation. Our engineering department offers on-site examination that may later continue with destructive testing in our state-of-the-art laboratory with interested parties and attorneys.
Conveniently located off the Spaulding Turnpike in Rochester, New Hampshire, our 1600-foot lab facility has all of the equipment you would expect to have in order to conduct evidence examinations. We have conducted evidence examinations with as few as two and as many as 20 experts, including their associated legal counsel and insurance company representatives. Being one of the few companies in New England, New York, or New Jersey with digital X-ray capabilities allows us to complete destructive and non-destructive examinations with little wasted time waiting for other laboratories to accommodate those requests.
We have hosted live fire experiments on HVAC and other systems using our on-site cylindered natural gas and quick-disconnect propane, as well as having conducted live burn experiments underneath the ventilation hood.

One of the vast misconceptions of modern medicine — and there are many — is that if you are sick, you need a doctor or a drug. The most a drug can do is mask symptoms. But people falsely believe that if symptoms are gone, the sickness or malady is gone. This makes modern medicine a world-class hoax.
There are many factors that govern metabolism: race, age, sex, previous food conditions, individual idiosyncrasies, variability of basal metabolism in individuals, rate of metabolism, imperfect balance of ones' food, fatigue, cold, damp, panic fear, mental depression and imperfect hygiene. Most important of all, infection may influence the onset or modify the course and character of a malady due primarily to dietetic defects.
It should be emphasized that these factors all involve metabolic variations in individual subjects, impose additional burdens on the metabolic resources of the body or depress the functional capacity of the endocrine regulators of metabolism. It is especially important to realize that people receiving too little vitamins or nutrition are living in a state of potential morbidity that may be converted into disease by a variety of factors that further exhaust metabolism.
Variations in metabolism explain why some people are sick and others are not. But the degree of malnutrition that may make one person sick may not affect another.

The silver lining of being a traitor to the Pacific Northwest and living in New York now is that I was at this game, in section 226, which not coincidentally was named the Foxwoods Lucky Section. Despite Foxwoods being a casino, the latin word for "ornate money fountain," we didn't win anything. They put us up on the big screen, we cheered, and nothing else happened. Maybe this is how gifts are given here in this ruthless city: "Hey, this casino has decided to honor you as the the lucky section and your gift is that you have not yet died and are also at a Knicks game which you paid too much money to attend." Rudy Giuliani is probably behind this.
The Knicks' perfectly thorough dysfunction at every level of the franchise makes them the most entertaining show to experience through the common methods of television and Twitter and blogs––they are a television show and they are perfect at being a television show. But the barrier of the television screen creates the sense that the Knicks don't really exist, like we're watching a stereotyped and streamlined version of something we've collectively imagined. But guys, let me tell you, the television show has got nothing on the Knicks as live theater. And truly, the darkness in the arena and respectful silence early in the game creates a very formal and theatrical atmosphere. When Samuel Dalembert simultaneously performs a behind-the-back crossover at midcourt yet also gets called for an 8-second violation, it truly feels like a performance, a dramatic expression of Knicks, filled with historical weight and emotion.
The theater also extends to the crowd experience. There really was a woman in an Amare Stoudemire jersey in front of me who turned around and asked, in that sort of New York accent, "Really?" when she discovered she was sitting in front of Blazer fans. Someone directly behind me was asleep through most of the first quarter. There was a guy a few rows behind us who shouted instructions at various Knicks players during every possession (ex: "Yo, Melo! Hit em with that jab step! Jab step, Melo! Now post him up!"). There were also the bizarre "celebrity row" segments during timeouts, which were depressingly weird. Spike Lee was not in attendance so the in-game reporter had to hype up Monica Seles and some low cast member from SNL. What I'm trying to say is, the Knicks are more Knicks than even I could imagine.
If we evaluate this performance of theater as a basketball game, it was not a particularly good one. The Blazers shooters never really got going. LaMarcus did his LaMarcus thing but never entered the higher plane of LaMarcus in which his robotic perfection becomes like watching a Buddhist monk silently paint flawless circles. On the other side, we got some Carmelo isos, some JR Smith buckets (a dude in front of me said he saw JR at the club last night and I couldn't tell if he was joking. BLESS YOU, KNICKS!), some questionable Jason Smith-heavy possessions, but nothing too ground breaking. But we shouldn't be evaluating the merit Death of a Salesman by the sales techniques on display or evaluating Jersey Boys by whatever they do in Jersey Boys (sing? do drugs? idk).
Lastly, shouts to the dude in Foxwoods Lucky Section 226 who loudly and derisively called Steve Blake "white boy!" when Blake hit an important shot late in the second half.

Raising money and singing Sam's praises: A look back at RACC's "pARTy in the name of Art"
On December 7th, RACC produced its first-ever large-scale special event – a celebration of arts and culture in Portland and a tribute to outgoing Mayor Sam Adams, who showed extraordinary vision and arts leadership during his time in office, culminating in the passage of ballot measure 26-146 and a new Arts Education and Access Fund for the city of Portland. More than 750 people attended "pARTy in the name of Art" and helped us raise money for The Right Brain Initiative and Work for Art.
The early part of the evening included a festive display of seven searchlights over the skies of Portland, tasty appetizers, locally crafted cocktails and a signature Sam Adams Hopworks Urban Brew. KGW was on hand to interview the mayor and Eloise while Grupo Condor played festive music on the first floor of the YU Contemporary Art Center in SE Portland.
At 8:00, our patrons were seated on the second floor for "Sammania: A Mayoral Performance Review" starring (and surprising) the mayor himself. The Sammania City Band (James Beaton, Matt Brown and Scott Weddle), Storm Large, Bodyvox, The Circus Project, Scott Poole, Fred Armisen, Cheryl Strayed and Julianne Johnson were among the local artists who helped Phil Incorvia and company pay homage to the mayor. The tribute show ended with a rousing sing-along chorus of "Float On" by Modest Mouse, featuring PHAME Academy and the Portland Flash Choir, and even some members of Modest Mouse themselves in attendance. Check out the pARTy summary video below and the full length video of the main stage performance below that.
Following the tribute show, guests enjoyed treats from Cupcake Jones and Salt & Straw while DJ Prashant got the dance party underway on the first floor. As hundreds more guests streamed into the venue, The 503 Portland Sliders, Sabor Latino and the Jai Ho Dance Troupe taught the crowd several dances, while upstairs DJ Evan Alexander played lounge music with pop-up performances that included the Boombots, Isaac Trimble, Axe Dide Samba and The Sexbots. Work for Art staffed an Art Apothecary, where guests received artistic prescriptions from retro futuristic pharmacists Nicolas Kessler and Sean McGrath, and The Right Brain Initiative engaged the crowd in a stop-motion animation exercise with teaching artist Ben Popp. Kinetic sculpture artist Clay Hoffman and caricature portraitmaker S. P. Burke were also on hand to entertain.
In the end, pARTygoers raised more than $18,000 for The Right Brain Initiative (to help fund arts integration in elementary schools throughout the region) and Work for Art (which will distribute these funds and workplace giving proceeds to more than 100+ arts organizations in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties).
We are grateful to everyone who came and otherwise supported RACC's big celebration. From our leading sponsors – The Harold & Arlene Schntizer CARE Foundation, the Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, and Falcon Art Community – to our co-sponsors and corporate packages; our hard-working committee and dozens of other volunteers; several inkind donors and hundreds who purchased tickets… THANK YOU for making pARTY in the name of Art a fantastic success. We couldn't have done it without you!

Live updates
Regular wages growth falls to record low of 0.7%
Fears of a "cost of living crisis" have been reignited after regular wages growth fell to a record low of 0.7%.
Overall pay - including bonuses - climbed by just 0.3% compared with the three months to May in 2013, which is the lowest increase since the financial crisis in 2009. The figure is skewed by higher bonus payments in April 2013 that took advantage of tax rate changes.
However, the increase of regular pay - excluding bonuses - was at 0.9% in the three months to April before sinking to an all-time low of 0.7% growth since records began in 2001.
Len McCluskey, general secretary of the Unite union, said: "With wage growth at its lowest rate since 2001, while inflation continues to vastly outstrip wage rates, ordinary people are working harder and getting poorer."
Figures released today by the Office for National Statistics showed that unemployment had dropped by 121,000 to 2.12 million.

Cable: Focus now on driving skills and innovation
The new Cabinet has been given some positive news on the jobs front with latest figures showing record employment and a big fall in the number of people out of work.
Vince Cable said it is a "very positive story" and the figures were "remarkable" with more than one million new jobs in the last year.
Unemployment fell by 121,000 to 2.12 million between March and May, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Employment figures show record number in work
The Government received good news on the jobs front today with the latest unemployment figures showing a record number of people in work.
Over 30 million people are now in work, which is an increase of almost a million in the past year - the best figures since records began in 1971.
There is an employment rate of 73.1%, with just over 78% of men and 68% of women in work.
More than 4.5 million people are self-employed, which is the highest since records began in 1992 after an increase of 404,000 over the past year, Office for National Statistics showed.
McVey: Employment rise reward for country's resilience
The country's "resilience" during the economic downturn "is being rewarded" after figures released today showed a fall in unemployment, Employment Minister Esther McVey said.
She said: "An important milestone has been reached in our country's recovery. With one of the highest employment rates ever, it's clear that the Government's long-term economic plan to help businesses create jobs and get people working again is the right one.
"With an employment rate which has never been higher, record women in work and more young people in jobs, the resilience of the country during the downturn is being rewarded.
"We know there is more to do, and the best way to do so is to go on delivering a plan that's creating growth and jobs."
Cameron: Full employment key aim of economic plan
David Cameron has welcomed today's figures which shows there has been a fall in unemployment.
The Prime Minister tweeted that the figures "show more people have the security of a job than ever before".
Today's figures show more people have the security of a job than ever before. Full employment is a key aim of our #LongTermEconomicPlan.
Unemployment falls by 121,000 to 2.12 million
Unemployment fell by 121,000 to 2.12 million between March and May, official figures showed.
The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance last month fell by 36,300 to 1.04 million, said the Office for National Statistics.
Average earnings increased by 0.3% in the year to May, 0.5% down on the previous month.
Five week wait for benefits is 'cruel and vindictive'
The TUC have said that a poll of more than 1,600 adults showed that most were opposed to the five-week wait for benefits
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said:
Making people who have contributed all their lives wait five weeks before receiving any help is both cruel and vindictive.
Just as with the bedroom tax, it shows that ministers are desperately out of touch with the lives of ordinary people.
People who lose their jobs need to be concentrating on looking for a new one, not worrying about whether they have enough money to pay the mortgage, keep up with their rent or feed their children.
The five-week wait is yet another ill-thought out idea and should be enough to send the whole policy back to the drawing board.
Unemployed could wait 'five weeks' for benefits
Recently unemployed adults may have to wait five weeks before they get any benefit payments, according to a new report.
The report, published ahead of the latest unemployment figures, said the new five-week wait will apply to anyone making a fresh claim for social security benefits.
The union organisation said it was a "new and deliberate delay" which could distract new claimants from looking for work and drive them into the hands of payday loan firms.
Private school pupils 'earn £200,000 more'
Children educated at private school are likely to earn almost £200,000 more over the course of their career than their counterparts in the state system, new research suggests.
A study by the Social Market Foundation found that between the ages of 26 and 42 a privately educated person will earn approximately £193,700 more on average than someone who went to state school.
The difference means an average private school pupil will earn 43% more than their state school peers by the age of 34, although this falls slightly to 34% by the aged of 42.

Sean Hannity falsely claimed charges were dropped against a member of the New Black Panther Party who was "carrying a nightstick" outside a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008. In fact, the Obama administration won an injunction against that person.
Loading the player reg...
Hannity falsely claims DOJ "dropped the charges" against man carrying nightstick
From the January 25 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
HANNITY: The Obama administration is turning its back on transparency yet again. Now remember this video from Election Day 2008? It shows members of the New Black Panther Party standing outside a Philadelphia polling place and one of them was even carrying a nightstick. Now, thanks in part to Fox's coverage of the incident, the men in this video were formally accused of voter intimidation. Well, but this summer, the Justice Department dropped the charges against them with little explanation.
Well, now that same Justice Department has denied a request from The Washington Times to open the records related to the case. Now, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee would like Attorney General Eric Holder to testify in the matter, but Democrats are blocking that request. Now it certainly sounds like the Obama Justice Department has something to hide now, doesn't it?
DOJ won injunction against New Black Panther member carrying nightstick
DOJ civil rights chief: "[M]aximum penalty sought and obtained" against nightstick wielder. From December 3 testimony by Tom Perez, Department of Justice assistant attorney general for the civil rights division, before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties (via the Nexis search database):
PEREZ: The case was not dismissed. The case was reviewed by two attorneys, including Loretta, who have a combined total of 60 years of experience, and they made the determination that, based on the law of the Third Circuit, that the case against the person who wielded the stick, that we should indeed seek the maximum penalty, and that maximum penalty was sought and obtained, and the case against the other defendant should be dismissed, and the case against the national party should also be dismissed. So that was the determination that was made and so I needed to correct the record because the case was not indeed dismissed and those two career attorneys, with 60 years of experience, made that decision.
Wash. Times news report: DOJ "obtained an injunction against the defendant who held a nightstick." In his report, Hannity cited The Washington Times, but the Times itself has reported that the Justice Department "obtained an injunction against the defendant who held a nightstick in front of a polling place during voting hours."
Wash. Times editorial previously falsely suggested all charges dropped. In the first sentence of its January 19 editorial, The Washington Times asserted: "The Justice Department insists that only 'career employees' made a controversial decision last May to drop voter-intimidation charges against members of the New Black Panther Party."

Worldchanging contributor Geoff Manaugh of BLDG|BLOG has a great article up about the contemporary and future design possibilities of "sacred groves" at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) Study Centre website.
Ships botanically assembling themselves in the forest, from "Growing a Hidden Architecture" by Christian Kerrigan (via BLDG|BLOG)
The article, titled "The Design Future of the Sacred Grove," was inspired by a 2009 paper by Patrick Bowe called "The Sacred Groves of Ancient Greece," which was published in the journal Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes. In his own article, Manaugh brings design proposals by Christian Kerrigan, Sascha Pohflepp, and BOARD to bear on Bowe's discussion of the "ritual zones" of the forest; he takes Bowe's exploration of Ancient Greece and speculates about:
what sorts of uniquely specific groves or small forests of our own time might someday, perhaps millennia from now, be seen, rightly or wrongly, as "sacred" in some way or another. The "sacred grove," seen in this light, would really be a kind of specialized forestry service, and thus something interpretatively present in a variety of surprising sites. After all, it is distinctly possible that a landscape now retroactively seen as sacred might not have been anything of the sort; perhaps it was simply being grown for timber; perhaps it was the subject of a property dispute; perhaps it was over-run with insects for a decade or two and thus left untouched. It should always be assumed, in other words, that ancient sites we jump to call "sacred" might actually have been utterly mundane.
To that end, Manaugh put together
a short, very subjective, and by no means anywhere near exhaustive list of a few speculative landscape design proposals and real-life forestry sites that strike me as particularly worthy of consideration in the context of the ancient Greek sacred grove. If, in some future catalog of lost landscapes, one of the following sites was to be listed alongside the sacred groves of a forgotten civilization, how might that transform our understanding of their intended spatial role?
Consider this list nothing more than a brief conversation-starter.
