RACP is the Richmond Academy of Clinical Psychologists, a regional academy within the Virginia Academy of Clinical Psychologists (VACP)
In turn, VACP is an academy that falls under the umbrella of the Virginia Psychological Association (VPA)
Besides RACP the other regional academies of VACP are:
· Northern Virginia Academy of Clinical Psychologists (NVACP)
· Tidewater Academy of Clinical Psychologists (TACP)
VACP Bylaws declare this mission:
"The purpose of VACP is the advancement of Clinical Psychology as a science, as a profession, and as a means of promoting human welfare by developing and encouraging high standards of ethics and training; by providing the opportunity for the exchange of experience and research through discussions, presentation and publications; and by educating the public in the purposes and goals of the art and science of the practice of clinical psychology for the promotion of the public welfare."
VACP was founded in 1975 when patients' rights to receive mental health services directly from clinical psychologists were threatened by insurance requirements that clinical psychologists be personally supervised by physicians. Several practicing clinical psychologists and VACP then collectively and successfully sued Blue Cross Blue Shield of Virginia and the Neuropsychiatric Center of Virginia for restraint of trade and violation of freedom of practice laws. This action insured that clinical psychologists in Virginia and throughout the country could practice independently then and now.
VACP has remained a highly active and effective professional organization. Many of our leaders have also assumed and been elected to national leadership roles in organized psychology. Russ Neumann, Ph.D. declared VACP "the special forces of the APA Practice Directorate." Other VACP accomplishments include the following:
VACP has steadily advocated for licensed clinical psychologists and their patients in the Commonwealth for three decades -- shaping law, regulatory and insurance policies, our own professional skills, and, through our members, the mental health of our citizens. VACP has been ever-present and relentless in its efforts to improve our practice climate. This work has included advocacy and education in relationship to (a) third party payers of mental health services, (b) regulatory licensure boards, (c) state and federal legislative bodies, (d) business enterprises, and (e) the general public. A full time state lobbyist and a large and active Executive Council are continuously engaged in professional issues of the day and keep our members informed about fast changing clinical, economic, and political information in the provision of mental health services at regional and state-wide levels, If you know of topical news pertaining to clinical psychology, you can rest assured that VACP is "on it." As a regional academy of VACP, the Richmond Academy of Clinical Psychologists is proud to offer its members excellent continuing education programs at markedly low rates. Even beyond the activism, warm fellowship prevails here. If you are a licensed clinical psychologist or a student in clinical psychology in Virginia, please come in – this is your professional home.

Silva hits maiden ton against BangladeshComment on this story
New Delhi – Opener Kaushal Silva lived a charmed life on his way to a maiden Test century as Sri Lanka put Bangladesh to the sword with a big first-innings total in the opening Test in Dhaka on Tuesday.
At the close of play on the second day Sri Lanka had reached 375/5, a lead of 143 runs.
Mahela Jayawardene was unbeaten on 42 after nightwatchman Suranga Lakmal fell for a duck in the last over of the day to off-spinner Sohag Gazi.
Bangladesh paceman Al-Amin was twice unlucky in the morning session when wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim and Shamsur Rehman dropped Silva (139) in quick succession.
In between those two letoffs the opener also edged the same bowler to captain Mushfiqur and received another life because Al-Amin's foot had knocked the bail down at the bowler's end during his delivery stride, prompting a no-ball.
Silva, on his seventh Test appearance, put on 118 for the first wicket with Dimuth Karunaratne (53) who fell to Shakib Al Hasan's left-arm spin.
Sri Lanka did not lose a wicket in the afternoon session as Silva and Kumar Sangakkara (75) pummelled the bowling during a 155-run stand.
Right-hander Silva, 27, who twice went close to his first test ton during the recent drawn series against Pakistan, had some nervous moments on 98 before he pulled Shakib to the square leg boundary to reach three figures.
Al-Amin was finally rewarded in the final session when he bagged the prize wicket of Sangakkara.
Silva was dropped again on 129 by Mushfiqur off Shakib before the opener was out leg before in the same over after hitting a four and a six off consecutive deliveries.
Jayawardene and Dinesh Chandimal (40) piled on the agony for Bangladesh with a brisk fourth-wicket partnership of 72 before the latter became Shakib's third victim in the penultimate over.
The match is the first in a two-Test series. – Reuters

New Zealand Embassy Tokyo, Japan
NZ Defence Chief Meets Japanese Counterpart
11 August 2014
The Chief of Defence Force, Lieutenant General (LTGEN) Tim Keating, met today with the Chief of Staff, Joint Staff Japan Self-Defense Forces, General Shigeru Iwasaki.
The two Generals exchanged views on the security situation in the Asia-Pacific region and discussed opportunities for expanding bilateral defence cooperation.
"Japan is an important international partner for New Zealand. Our common values and shared perspectives on regional security are important building blocks underpinning what is a broad and multi-faceted relationship," LTGEN Keating said.
"In August 2013 we signed a 'Memorandum of Intent concerning Defence Cooperation and Exchanges' to provide a framework for the defence relationship and to establish the parameters for enhancing engagement.
"We agreed to promote cooperation in areas such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, international peacekeeping activities, and counter-piracy operations," he said.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The steam has once again been let out of a controversial veteran housing proposal that was planned for the corner of SW 21st and Oakley in Topeka.
Topeka City Councilwoman Denise Everhart told the Topeka Capital-Journal on Friday (4/20) that she won't proceed with plans to seek a City Council vote on the Victory Village housing development.
Everhart says she reversed her earlier decision, to put the proposal to a vote, after she talked to Veterans Affairs officials, who told her they plan to put the project on hold for a year, to hear more input from area residents.
Neighbors packed the City Council chambers last Tuesday, speaking out against the plan that they call a low-income housing project, under the guise of helping veterans.

Palo Alto, Calif. – December 10, 2012 – Cooley LLP announced today that it saw a significant increase in its number of patent litigation representations filed in 2011, according to Corporate Counsel's 2012 Patent Litigation Survey. In 2011, Cooley handled 78 cases, up from 49 in 2010, a 59% increase. "As evidenced by this impressive increase in cases handled this year, Cooley continues to stand out as a go-to firm for businesses faced with complex patent litigation," said Jim Brogan, partner and chair of Cooley's Intellectual Property practice group. "We have a uniquely well-balanced cross-section of litigators, counselors and other IP professionals across our national practice, who come together to provide clients with the right course of action for each unique set of circumstances – including all levels of courtroom expertise."

Cooley saw a 41% increase in the total number of plaintiff cases with 17 cases handled in 2011, up from 12 cases in 2010. Cooley also handled 61 defense side cases in 2011, which marked a 65% increase from 2010 in which it advised on 37 cases.
Cooley has more than 115 IP attorneys and over 60 other IP professionals and represents many of the world's leading technology and life sciences companies. The firm was recently named to the National Law Journal's Intellectual Property Hot List 2012, which highlights the leading IP law firms in the United States. In addition, Cooley was recognized by the Financial Times as one of the top 25 most innovative firms in the US and was heralded as a "standout" firm for its handling of two complex IP litigations and corporate resolutions for clients Facebook (against Yahoo) and Onyx (against Bayer). Uniquely in the FT report, Cooley held two of the top-three rankings in the IP section, "Patent Lore." Cooley's IP Litigation group consistently advises clients on some of their most complex patent litigation matters in the country. Recent case highlights include:

West Seattle Weather Watch: Saturday night snow updatesFebruary 8, 2014 at 6:04 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle weather | 120 Comments
(INFOLINKS: Traffic cams here … SDOT plowed/salted map here … Metro on snow routes … Photo to share? firstname.lastname@example.com)
(First photo of tonight's snow, from Trileigh Tucker, Lincoln Park area)
6:04 PM: Snowing here in Upper Fauntleroy – are you seeing it too? The National Weather Service's alerts don't stretch this far, so far – see the current ones here – its updated "forecast discussion" doesn't think this will get past an inch. We'll be updating.
6:34 PM: From the WSB Traffic page – where you'll find many more cameras – that's the camera pointing at the northbound Alaskan Way Viaduct. But we hope you don't have to go out; slippery out there already.
6:54 PM: Sticking on the road up here – the view is from a moment ago, looking east on Thistle from California. (added) From the westward view on the high bridge – note the snowy Harbor Island ramp below, on the right side:
7:20 PM: Wondering if SDOT will be out, since it's sticking on streets? Here's Joe's view from Arbor Heights
On Twitter a few minutes ago, the department said plows are standing by:
Plow operators ready if needed. Road temps fairly warm prior to sunset but will monitor surface conditions closely.
— seattledot (@seattledot) February 9, 2014
7:35 PM: Apparently some city equipment IS out and about. Cheryl reports, also via Twitter: "SDOT ice/plow trucks going both directions on the Bridge just now."
8:01 PM: Two hours now, still hasn't stopped. An Alki view via Twitter:
59th and Alki Ave. pic.twitter.com/9Q5RUzMeHa
— Scott M Alki Wa. (@KayakScottNW) February 9, 2014
Road conditions are increasingly dominating the discussions on the scanner; dispatchers say SDOT is definitely out and hitting arterials around the city. (Few minutes later …) checked outside, about 1″ of snow so far.
8:16 PM: Seattle Fire dispatched to a crash reported at California/Frontenac, western bottom of Gatewood Hill. Reported on scanner to be car vs. tree. And just off Delridge, two crashes reported at Orchard/Dumar. If you really, REALLY have to go out, here's the SDOT map of where they've plowed recently – added to the resource links at the top of this story.
8:44 PM: Metro now says its buses are all on snow routes; find yours here. More crashes – via scanner, SPD says it's blocking 36th/Thistle after a crash.
9 PM: David sent the clip above from California near Andover. We just did the car-hood check again – about an inch and a half here. Couple miles south of David, here's our latest pan:
Via Twitter, KFT reports a RapidRide C Line bus got stuck downtown.
9:18 PM: The photo above was texted (206-293-6302, any time!) from south Admiral, where they're reporting more than two inches of snow. A few blocks east, Crystal just e-mailed (email@example.com, any time!) this photo from Hiawatha:
As MetPatrick tweeted a while ago, this does seem to have an end – check out the KING5.com radar.
9:31 PM: Heavy-rescue call on the SW Genesee hill between Avalon and Delridge, at 30th SW. (Added – photo by Christopher Boffoli:)
(A few minutes later …) also 14th/Holden, car vs. street sign. And police are still trying to keep people off Orchard/Dumar/Delridge intersection & its attendant hills. Overall advice: Avoid ANY hill, arterial or side street. **UPDATE ON FLIPPED CAR** No injuries, Christopher was told at the scene.
10:24 PM: From David:
Roxbury neat 26th Ave SW looking sticky. #westseattle @westseattleblog pic.twitter.com/zZHf16CpBK
— David S. Hogan (@SeattleActorDSH) February 9, 2014
Also now a blocking crash at 9th/Roxbury. (UPDATE: 3 people hurt, per scanner.) Screengrab from SDOT map shows Roxbury hasn't been plowed between 9th and 35th.
As for the forecast, seems the NWS finally issued a Winter Weather Advisory at 8:44 pm for this area, almost 3 hours after it started snowing, and it's in effect until 4 am.
10:53 PM: Bonair, between North Admiral and Alki, is "blocked at the top … Car in ditch, another car in road. Police tape is up at the top of the road," David reports via e-mail. Back to that 30th/Genesee heavy rescue on the hill east of Avalon, here's another view from WSB's Christopher Boffoli:
Again, the driver wasn't hurt. Heading back from the scene, Christopher noted RapidRide buses having difficulty at 35th/Avalon:
He says neither had chains. Meantime, snow looks to be about 3″ by now.
11:08 PM: And via scanner, we hear SPD asking Metro to just stop sending buses southbound on Avalon, saying four articulated buses are stuck in that area now. Meantime, near Westwood Village, Khang tweeted about a car that got stuck and just kept getting hit – until help was rounded up. Note to those who've sent fun snow photos – we're building a separate gallery and will link it here when available.
12:01 AM: The snow is now very light, and that matches the radar view.
1:34 AM: Still hearing from people re: bus woes – RapidRide in particular. No new info from Metro.
2:07 AM: National Weather Service measured 2.9″ of snow at Sea-Tac – new record for February 8th (more than 2″ over the old record, 0.4″ in 1957).

Snowing like crazy on Vashon. In line for Fauntleroy ferry and it's really windy, too.
Comment by Kate — 6:40 pm February 8, 2014 #
Iggy – that's funny – we had a snow alert linked in our sidebar as of several hours ago, because the National Weather Service said we might see SOME. Also had the discussion on Twitter about three hours ago, including frequent weather commenter MetPatrick saying it looked to him like things were picking way up. But weather forecasting is hard to do around here!
Started in N. Admiral about 5minutes ago. Boys are at the windows with excitement!
Comment by PDH — 6:43 pm February 8, 2014 #
We heard the fog horns and looked out and it is snowing and sticking to road, etc. We are in North Admiral.

Half an inch on my deck railing already in North Admiral. The temperature dropped 5 degrees in the past hour.

Has been snowing in north Admiral for about 40 minutes (near Metro market) and is sticking really well in some spots. Seems to be picking up.

When the TV weather report says no snow… watch out ;-)
Comment by Twobottles — 6:48 pm February 8, 2014 #
Was in Morgan Junction when it started, and about 30 min. later had to drive up near Alaska Junction. Already a bunch of people on the road who don't understand bad weather driving – tailgating us on a hill and obviously upset we weren't driving 40mph on Edmunds. Go slow and give some distance, people! Glad I'm home and don't have to go anywhere else anytime soon.
Beautiful here, but I can't enjoy it until I hear from husband he made it to work safely :(
Stay off the roads unless you need to go out and stay warm!

My six year old already convinced me to make a mini snowman for him. Then the dog was let out and poor guy got eaten! Hooray for snow!
Comment by ghar72 — 7:02 pm February 8, 2014 #
It must have started snowing the moment I drove my car into the garage at 6:00. Did not see a flake while driving. Turned on the computer and read about the snow.

Lots of snow on Beach Dr north of Lowman. Sticking (but not on cement yet) and is beautiful. All plants, driftwood, & plants covered with snow.

In Sodo on our way home – anybody been on the bridge lately? Thoughts on low bridge as an option?

Had to make the call about whether to tell the babysitter we were going out or staying home when she arrived at 7. We opted to cancel plans and stay home, and looks like it was the right call! It's still coming down steadily here on Genessee Hill. Be safe out there everyone!
Comment by NJB — 7:49 pm February 8, 2014 #
I just came across the bridge and it was wet, nothing sticking yet. Side streets are another matter.
Comment by Jenny — 7:50 pm February 8, 2014 #
I checked with Cheryl via Twitter, since she had mentioned just coming back over the bridge, and she said the same thing as Jenny. I'd also second the warning about side streets. Going back out to look at the ones in our area. If you absolutely HAVE TO go out, drive very slowly … the best lesson I ever learned from co-publisher Patrick Sand, who grew up in snow country – TR
It'snow surprise! Snow what I mean!

Sand truck just zipped by on mission – heading south on 9th Ave SW. Edit: Plow/sander just returned heading north ….and car following just slid out right behind the plow! Going way too fast. Silly people.

Crossed bridge a bit after 8:20. Absolutely no issues, at least weather-wise. SUV drivers not checking mirrors before lane changes, however, different story. Stopping on downhills in neighborhood, though, was no fun. Glad we're home and staying here!

California needs to be plowed. People can't make it up the hill!!

Bus stuck on SW Roxbury hill. A #21. Because of a couple of cars, that were stuck, the bus lost momentum while it was going up. Watching the whole thing happen from my living room window! If they are on snow routes, you would think that would include putting on chains!
Comment by Mrsjonesb — 9:06 pm February 8, 2014 #
2″ and more in admiral, near Stevens & 49th, and no sign of slowing down. Perfect sledding snow :)

Almost died in a snowball fight. Sent aggressors downhill. All good.
Comment by Irukandji — 9:12 pm February 8, 2014 #
Guy in early 90s 2wd Toyota pickup with no weight in back spinning tires endlessly on 49th Ave SW. Guy behind him in 80s Chevy S10 Blazer 4×4 slowly trying not to run into him since he can't pass him safely.
Moral of the story. If you can't drive in snow, don't have the proper tires or vehicle setup for basic 2″ of snow…don't.
Comment by Mike — 9:22 pm February 8, 2014 #
The roads are bad! Cars stuck going up Morgan towards 35th! Avoid Morgan at all costs, take fauntelroy up to 35th if possible, the extra time is more convenient than getting stuck. Sdot isn't capable of handling this due to their lack of concern when it started. Haven't checked weather updates but this is thick wet dangerous snow that is slick due to warmer road temperatures. I wouldn't recommend going above 20 on any street and if you are going downhill keep it to a crawl. Good luck out there!
Comment by Shawn — 9:22 pm February 8, 2014 #
Close to 2″ in sea view. Driving home to Westwood oughtta be an adventure.
PLEASE slow down, people. I'm watching cars and trucks doing 40+ on an unplowed road and hearing tons of sirens. Your car may have 4WD but there are people out walking and playing in the snow and you can not stop in time – no matter how good a driver you may be. Slow the heck down!!
Comment by AG — 9:27 pm February 8, 2014 #
Lincoln Park Way here, the connector street from Lowman Beach, Beach Dr./48th St to the back side of the Kenney and connecting to Fauntleroy: many cars turning around at Murray and going back down to where they came from.
This street is steeper than you think. Bad bet for regular cars with 'all weather' tires. Use a different route.
My neighbor just took the C Line bus from downtown to W Seattle. Driver put everyone out at Alaska Junction, said he was following snow route instructions.

From scanner traffic, I would say ANY hill is a bad bet. 35th/Roxbury is "full of stuck buses" etc. per a recent tweet, and that's less steep …
Two plow trucks just went by. 35th and Hudson.

SDOT plows out patrolling. Roads largely bare and wet due to surface temps. Will treat any trouble spots with salt as needed.

Comment by sna — 10:05 pm February 8, 2014 #
Just went across Roxbury between 17th and 26th, a couple buses and multiple cars stuck on the eastbound side.
Came up from Burien, also a bunch of spinouts and accidents on Ambaum in the twisty/hilly part between 116th and 120th.
Comment by RickB — 10:07 pm February 8, 2014 #
I live on 35th and Roxbury – came down Fauntleroy and then up Barton, where the plows have come thru. Glad I looked at the SDOT web link you published on what roads were plowed – THANK YOU WSB!!!

Westwood QFC closed early due to snow. FYI
Comment by WS born&bred — 10:14 pm February 8, 2014 #
2.5 inches on Holden off of California. A few cars couldn't make it up California from Fauntleroy junction…. Slow down- there's a few people out walking!
Comment by Elizabeth — 10:17 pm February 8, 2014 #
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't try that hill on Genessee tonight.
Comment by Tucker — 10:18 pm February 8, 2014 #
Front porch measurement here in NP, 2-1/4" and still coming down hard. Perfect for snowballs and snowfolks! Why couldn't this have come down this afternoon – got no one to play with here :(
Comment by Breezy — 10:18 pm February 8, 2014 #
2.2 inches at California and Charlestown. Still coming down a lot.
Comment by Fregirl — 10:18 pm February 8, 2014 #
Just drove home from Mt St Vincent down 35th to Alaska and down Fauntleroy to Lincoln Park – not fun, especially on hills – main streets plowed/packed slush, but slippery – side streets 2″
Comment by PCM — 10:20 pm February 8, 2014 #
And to think this morning the news said it wouldn't stick. Avalon is wet and sticking. Side roads are another matter.
Comment by Saralynn — 10:22 pm February 8, 2014 #
I've now seen/heard 3 cars sliding on the curve right after california/fauntleroy and hitting the curb. Slow down out there!
Comment by mnw — 10:22 pm February 8, 2014 #
Thanks for the store update, WS. But aren't they usually 24 hours? I haven't been there in quite some time.
A big shoutout to experienced snow drivers Lisa and Zeb over in Highland Park. I made a bad decision just as the snow was beginning to stick, and lost traction, getting stuck on SW Kenyon east of 9th. Zeb drove my car to safety like a pro, saving my car from many likely crashes as drivers continued to slide down that street out of control disregarding the road closure sign.
Comment by naomi — 10:31 pm February 8, 2014 #
My husband just got home after walking the last 2 miles of his commute from the east side. He reported cars having great difficulty at the hill on 35th and Avalon, he was able to make a right on Avalon and proceeded on Fauntleroy, thinking he could continue to take California Ave south to our westwood home, but cars ahead weren't making it up the hill past Gatewood Elementary. He was able to park safely and take an impromptu snowy walk home. Good luck out there everyone!
Comment by Rebecca — 10:37 pm February 8, 2014 #
All this snow its great but with temps changing soon and it's eventual melt it is real important to keep our storms drains cleared especially in the case where it melts then refreezes and causes slick roads melting snow upon our cement roads has to go somewhere
Comment by NW — 10:39 pm February 8, 2014 #
Just took 35th from the bridge home to Barton. No problems. Thanks for the updates!
Comment by S — 10:43 pm February 8, 2014 #
NW has a good point, and while we'll be on watch for hours to come, tomorrow morning will be big for coverage too, and we'll be here. This should end, and then the question will be how it melts … temperatures are expected to warm and at least once we get to midday here's hoping that means at least most major roads become passable again!
We were planning to go to the pancake breakfast at Hiawatha in the morning. I wonder if it will be canceled.
Comment by A — 10:48 pm February 8, 2014 #
Avalon buses haved jammed the intersection at 35th ( coming up hill on Avalon )
A, we're checking on that and will publish an update as soon as it's available.
Admiral from the bridge is fine. Heading down towards Alki is bad though. Cars sliding off on the first corner. 3″+ in North Admiral.

ghar72 — 'My six year old already convinced me to make a mini snowman for him. Then the dog was let out and poor guy got eaten! Hooray for snow!'
just to be clear, did the mini-snowman eat the dog, or vice versa? (sorry, I must be channeling Calvin and Hobbes snowmen …)
Comment by metrognome — 10:56 pm February 8, 2014 #
Looks to be about 2 inches at Lincoln park at least….still coming down…road is slick
Comment by Sharon — 11:11 pm February 8, 2014 #
Just got back from picking up a friend stranded by the snow. Drove from Seaview (west of Alaska Junction) to the Roxbury Safeway. Passed at least 10 buses, every single one of them was stuck in the snow. If you're waiting for a bus , it's going to be a VERY long wait. I would recommend walking if at all possible.
We were seeing SUV's sliding on hills. Our Subaru handled the snow like a trooper but most others weren't, including some SUV's.
We did pass a snowplow heading south on 35th by the water tower that was moving at a good clip. Hopefully it's plowing and sanding at the same time. That was ~10:15 pm.
Comment by wssz — 11:19 pm February 8, 2014 #
I was in Renton, didn't know it was snowing. My friend tried giving me a ride home. Everything was fine till Oregon. I live on Andover and usually Oregon is fine. Didn't get enough speed. Got stuck on hill, but at least parked. Needless to say, we walked the 4 blocks up hill in the snow and she is now spending the night at my house. At least we are warm!! We have at least 2 1/2 inches. Up by the Charlestown water tower.
Comment by Magpie — 11:23 pm February 8, 2014 #
Roxhill and those double buses with the accordion pleat centers are not a good mix.
i drove in from Woodinville in this by way of Burien (to avoid the downtown mess) and saw several cars underestimate the slick roads and spin out of control.
be careful out there…
Comment by JoB — 11:27 pm February 8, 2014 #
30th between Brandon and Findlay road is closed but multiple cars tried and are now blocking the street.
Comment by mollymoe — 11:29 pm February 8, 2014 #
Seaview to Westwood was about a half hour journey at 11:15ish. Got to California and… What's the street where Cafe Lladro is? Been here ten years and still can't remember half the street names. I saw half a dozen cars headed south on California up the hill, slowly sliding backward down the hill toward me. I turned around, back to Fauntleroy/Alaska/35th to Trenton. All were slick but plowed until I got to Trenton. Drove slowly and I was fine, but lots of people were trying to take hills too fast and sliding all over. Slow it down and don't hit the gas pedal so hard, and you'll be ok if you absolutely must be out and about.
I was fine til I got home and yanked a muscle getting out of my car into my slippery driveway. In fact, the only time I lost traction all the way home was turning into my own drive. Heh.
Careful out there if you have to be out in it. It's still coming down pretty hard.

AG- Its Myrtle St.
Comment by Alki resident — 12:20 am February 9, 2014 #
Don't feel bad, AG, I only really got around to memorizing most of them when we started doing this. The street just south of Ladro, where Little Gym is and where you turn to get to Gatewood Elementary, is Myrtle. (As AR answered while I was typing this!) Trying to detour around safely on a night like this can be somewhat harrowing. I had to do it more than a few nights in my years of working TV downtown on the night shift. Got stuck west of The Junction once trying to cleverly avoid hills; walked 2 miles home, wasn't going to ask the spouse to load our then-very-very-little kid in the car and come rescue me. Glad you got home OK – everybody who has to get home overnight, go VERY slowly; that's the expert advice.
Neighbor – If no one has direct experience, at least we can point out that it has been plowed and de-iced tonight, per the SDOT map:
Poor bus driver! I just went out and gave the driver stuck on Roxhill, a pbj sand, coffee, water, popcorn and some hand warmers, cause he's been there going on 3 hrs now. He's been passed by 5 plows, and even a metro/SDOT van. Waiting to get rescued, he said there were 80 buses stuck tonight. So he waits patiently! Bad night to be a bus driver! Good night to be a WSBlog reader!!!!
Comment by Mrsjonesb — 12:29 am February 9, 2014 #
Thanks for helping! This was one of those storms where I don't think any of the agencies – Metro, police, etc. – were prepared because the official forecasts said "oh, maybe just a dusting in Seattle," as opposed to all the times when we hear there'll be snow and it doesn't arrive…
Trying to get back to west seattle via rapid ride. metro is reporting a 90 minute delay. Decided to take bus to be safer than driving and now stranded in cold. Any updates on when the RR will be running again?
Comment by Julie — 12:40 am February 9, 2014 #
Metro tweeted about an hour ago: "Metro Rt 120 & RapidRide C & D significantly delayed due road conditions. Working to chain coaches & resume svc as soon as possible." That's all we've heard …
Traveled from Stevens to California to alaska and onward to 35th. (Subaru outback) Roads were plowed it looked like. I had no trouble at traveling at slow speed. The 128 was able to make the right turn up the hill. No stuck busses from that point. I did not look towards Avalon/downhill. I turned at Juneau so can't really see if there were any stuck busses going up past the Morgan intersection. This was about 30 mins ago. 12:30. Light snow.
Comment by L Bui — 12:45 am February 9, 2014 #
Epic fail for the weathermen, nobody was prepared for this and went about their lives and doing things far away from home not cowing we were going to get blasted. So many accidents tonite and many stranded in the cold. I feel sorry for the bus drivers and riders too. We got 6 inches of this " light dusting".

Someone is smowmibiling around Westwood at 1:30 in the morning. So much for sleeping.might as well be out there with a chain saw. . I'm sure they're having a blast but kind of rude. I'd drive away from the wretched noise if I could get off my block.

Hope you get home safe.
Alki Resident "Epic failure for weathermen…" – Not really, they said it was possible; "nobody was prepared…" – felt like snow all day so we decided to stay in; "so many accidents" – just a handful of accidents – the usual, people going to fast, taking steep hills etc.; "six inches" -that's 2 – 3 times what everyone is reporting and at Alki? That's epic.

Thanks Naomi, it was a VERY good thing we got you out of that spot, your car would have been hit, no question. We watched a Range Rover slide right past, all four wheels not even moving!
We aided at least six people after you and helped avoid multiple fender benders.
I would still advise avoiding SW Kenyon at 9th. The hill is a slide.

I agree with Alki Resident. All reports I heard/saw were for light dusting that would last less than an hour.
I'm thrilled about this beautiful winter wonderland but did drive home from downtown in it after dinner out. Had we known, we would have played it safe and stayed home.

Just got back from a walk – SW Juneau Street (from the top of 35th Ave SW down to SW Fauntleroy) – don't even think of even trying to drive up or down that street – it's steep and becomes a sheet of ice whenever it snows!
Plus neighborhood folks are now out sledding down the hill.
Comment by BookGal — 9:05 am February 9, 2014 #
@Westside- I was hit in Highland Park last nite. We had a lot more snow up there than the lower part of WS. Someone mentioned last nite that it looked like about 5-6 inches. Who cares,look back at weatherman reports. People did not expect this dumping.
Comment by Alki resident — 3:16 pm February 9, 2014 #
I was on the 2nd bus in the pic and the driver was trying to get around the bus in front as the driver of the 1st bus was not even trying to move his bus. yet the riders of these buses were all told metro had some kind of a shuttle bus running from the west seattle jct going to the morgan jct and the ferry. many of us on the buses were asking if that was true why was metro not sending that shuttle to come pick us up where the 3 buses were all stuck with no responce from any of these 3 bus drivers!!!! why were all 3 drivers saying that metro had some kind of a shuttle does anyone know????? being disabled and stuck and then basiclly forced to walk to where the metro drivers were stating there was a bus to get me closer to my stop was way out of the way if i was going to have to walk all the way home i feel it is just really sad as snow was forcast for days before it hit. so once again metro and metro's management failed the riders of metro. how many more times as riders do we have to deal with metro not learning that the 60′ buses don't do good in snow? do we as riders have to be on buses that crash and be come injured or killed in mass numbers before the bean counters do something to correct this on going problem with metro!!!!!!!
Comment by michael ford — 4:20 pm February 9, 2014 #
Alki Resident, Yes someone's tree at the highest point in the city may have had a little more snow. The attitude of "Epic failure, accidents everywhere, OMG, blah blah " = boring. When people with 10 year old front wheel drive cars are driving down California ave at 10am following a "dumping" I'm not so sure you can describe it that way. Seriously, the world would be ending if you were in Portland this weekend. Drama!!!

Google makes first response to YouTube lawsuit
updated 10:35 am EDT, Tue May 1, 2007
Google responds to Viacom
Google has finally made an official response to Viacom's lawsuit over the contents of YouTube, notes the Associated Press. Viacom is the parent company of TV networks such as MTV and Comedy Central; clips from many Viacom shows have appeared illegally on YouTube. Google is now saying in court, however, that it is in fact zealous about guarding copyright, exceeding requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Web hosts are immune from lawsuits so long as they agree to removal requests, but Google says it immediately complies with any complaints about unauthorized material.

Floodwaters in South falling, but misery remains
MEMPHIS- Floodwaters from the Mississippi River are slowly falling, but for people from Tennessee to Louisiana, the misery it left behind is only beginning as they face gutting their ruined houses soaked in polluted water.
The bloated river has crested through the South and farmers with any hope of salvaging some of the growing season will have to scrub their fields of sandy sludge. And shipping is likely to be restricted for weeks because of pressure on levees, and a close watch will be kept well into the summer on strained levees, bridges and other structures.
Some of the worst flooding has been along tributaries, and not all of the smaller rivers in Louisiana have hit their peak.

Photo illustration on teen texting. Thursday, January 12, 2012.
- Filed Under
EDITOR: I often read articles written by adults about why teenagers act the way they do. Being a sophomore in high school, I can admit that teens are not the most pleasant all the time - but does that give adults the right to generalize us and call us all things like "lazy" and "unappreciative"?
Times have changed rather greatly in the past few years. We no longer flinch at the blood and horror of war, not because of video games but because we have seen real-life violence of the Middle East and elsewhere all our lives. We cannot be the ones blamed for being pessimistic when we have grown up in a world where unemployment is expected.
I challenge you, the next time that you see a seemingly lazy, depressed or unhappy teen, to realize that this generation is different than yours, but that's not always a bad thing.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- With the recent sexual assault of a woman near USC's campus, the university is looking for more ways to keep students safe.
Last year we told you about a student senator who was trying to push for a bill that would add more emergency call boxes on campus.
"With the recent sexual assault, armed robberies that have happened this area has clearly shown that it needs to have a safety pathway," said Ryan Bailey, Committee head of the Safety and Transportation Committee of USC's Student Senate.
Bailey is still looking for more green to fund his blue light emergency system project.
"We're still looking for funding, looking for funding sources within the city and also with the state legislature as well," he said.
The sexual assault of a woman on the 1400 block of Blossom St was one of those proposed spots for one of six call boxes looking to be installed with the Safety Pathway Project. But they're not using this incident to make any hasty decisions.
"Whenever we do it we want to make sure it is a clean process and not rushed through and make sure that everything is done," Bailey said.
Other than trying to find money for the project, they're also trying to revamp tried and true programs.
"There are a lot more options in terms of expanding those night time shuttle programs because all these events have happened at night," he said.
And Bailey along with the campus administration are trying to give students the ability to have a call box in their pocket -- an app on their phone.
"You have your finger on the face of the phone and as soon as you take your finger off, you're prompted to disarm the alarm," Bailey said. "An alarm will sound, be sent to your friends and family, be sent to USC PD, be sent to Columbia Police Department along with your GPS location."
Although several safety initiatives are in place, the university is trying to stay one step ahead. In addition to possibly revamping some campus safety initiatives, USC has added six more campus police. This bring the current roster to 64 officers.

The location: Miami Central Hospital
I shot the photos below in 2013.
Here is an aerial photo of the location. Here is a Google StreetView. And here is a map link.
Q. How the heck did you figure out where it was?
A. In the early seasons, I
usually had to hunt down the locations after viewing the episodes, using
clues from the various scenes. By the now, though, I've developed
a small group of fans, spies & tipsters who kept an
eye out for Dexter filming in their neighborhoods, and let me know in advance when something is about to film there.
This tip came from Rick.
I drove past during filming, and noted they had a fake sign up and that
there were sandbags piled on the curb in front of the entrance (since a
storm is coming). (Thanks, Rick!)

FreeLotto - FreeLotto
Since its inception in 1999, FreeLotto has awarded more than $90 million to its users around the world. FreeLotto conducts six prize drawings each day, and, depending on numbers matched, members can win between $1 and $10 million in the games. FreeLotto also offers a prize doubler option. Prize Doubler subscribers receive double their winnings if their numbers come up in a FreeLotto drawing.
FreeLotto functions much like a traditional state lottery drawing. A ball-drop machine manufactured by Garron Lottery Products of Baltimore, Maryland, selects the winning numbers for each drawing. Players who match some or all of the numbers win a cash prize. In order to win the $1 prize, a player must match three of six numbers in the FreeLotto Classic $1,000,000.00 Daily Jackpot game. FreeLotto players who match all numbers win the grand prize for the drawing.
Beginning in 2003, FreeLotto began offering its users the opportunity to donate some or all of their winnings to improve the world. With the Click2Give program, prize winners can choose to donate their winnings to a variety of charities. Charities in the Click2Give program include Amnesty International, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, Wildlife Trust, and Meals on Wheels. So far, the program and contributions from PlasmaNet, Inc. have resulted in more than $1.8 million in donations.
FreeLotto continues to expand and now has 64 million members worldwide. Recent FreeLotto winners have come from the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Singapore, Finland, and South Africa. The site supports itself through advertisements, special e-mail offers, and the optional FreeLotto Automatic Subscription Ticket (F.A.S.T.) program, which allows subscribers to have their numbers played automatically without logging into the site for a small service fee per 30 days.

Filing an insurance claim after a disaster is a stressful process. To avoid having to deal with the hassle, and with hopes of getting more money from the insurance company, many homeowners seek the help of a public adjuster.
A public adjuster is an insurance claims specialist who interprets the homeowner's policy, assesses the damage and how much it will cost to repair, and negotiates with the insurance company on behalf of the homeowner until the claim is settled.
Public adjusters market themselves as professionals who act solely on behalf of the policyholder and help ensure homeowners get the money they are entitled to under the policy. They differ from adjusters hired by the insurance companies to assist with the claim because their compensation comes out of the homeowner's pocket, not the insurance company's.
Homeowners don't always need the help of a public adjuster, says David Barrack, executive director of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters in Potomac Falls, Va. But for many, the assistance is crucial, he says.
"It's a judgment call," he says. "You have to determine whether you need the service or not."
Some people decide to hire an adjuster simply because they don't have the time to deal with the insurance claim process, Barrack says.
The general rule of thumb is if you estimate you have losses of $10,000 or more, it's probably wise to hire a public adjuster.
"But it really depends on your circumstances and how the insurance company is reacting," Barrack says.
If your adjuster doesn't return calls or answer questions properly, or if you think the adjuster left any damages off your claim, you should probably get your own public adjuster, says George Skidis Jr., a public adjuster in Belleville, Ill., who worked as an adjuster for insurance companies for more than a decade before becoming a public adjuster in 1994.
"Insurance companies are reputable businesses, but they are only as good as the field adjuster looking at your claim," Skidis says. "If you're lucky, you're going to have someone with 30 years of experience looking at your claim. In that case, you're probably fine. But if not, you need to hire somebody who knows what they are doing to look at the damages."
One place to start your search for a public adjuster is the NAPIA website. The organization has a vetting process and requires members to be licensed and to have been in business for at least two years to become members. Keep in mind having a license alone is not a guarantee you are hiring the best, says Skidis.
"Go by prior clients and word of mouth," he says. "Check their websites, get a reference list and talk to some of their clients."
It's also helpful to check with your state's department of insurance to see if there are any complaints filed against the adjuster you're about to hire.

I've long admired India Hicks' beachy British Colonial style and have seen snippets of her home here and there. It makes perfect sense – India Hicks is the daughter of David Hicks (iconic UK decorator) and part of the English aristocracy. She was even in Charles and Diana's wedding! Combine her blue-blooded English roots with a balmy beach abode and you've got classic style with an island twist. Heather Clawson at Habitually Chic put this collection of images together and I thought it was perfect for this hot, hot summer we're having. Enjoy!

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
Now suppose we had a hypothetical future version of C# in which interface covariance worked, and we wanted a covariant immutable stack. That is, we want to be able to implicitly convert an IStack<Giraffe> to IStack<Mammal>. As we've already discussed, this doesn't make much sense in an array, even though doing so is legal in C# today. If you cast a Giraffe[] to Mammal[] then you can try to put a Tiger into the Mammal[] and it will fail at run time. It seems like the same should be true of stacks -- if you cast an IStack<Giraffe> to IStack<Mammal> then you can push a Tiger onto the stack of Giraffes, which should fail, right?
Maybe. Maybe not.
The interface we defined the other day is not suitable for covariance because it uses the variant parameter as both an input and and output. Let's get a bit crazy for a minute here -- suppose we got rid of the input on the Push:
public interface IStack<+T> : IEnumerable<T> { IStack<T> Pop(); T Peek(); bool IsEmpty { get; } }
This interface is now suitable for covariance. If you have a stack of Giraffes and you want to treat it as a stack of Mammals, you can do so with perfect type safety, since we know that we will never be pushing a Tiger onto that thing. We'll only be reading off Giraffes, all of which are Mammals. This may seem less than useful, but we'll see what we can do:
public sealed class Stack<T> : IStack<T> { private sealed class EmptyStack : IStack<T> { public bool IsEmpty { get { return true; } } public T Peek() { throw new Exception("Empty stack"); } public IStack<T> Pop() { throw new Exception("Empty stack"); } public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() { yield break; } IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() { return this.GetEnumerator(); } } private static readonly EmptyStack empty = new EmptyStack(); public static IStack<T> Empty { get { return empty; } } private readonly T head; private readonly IStack<T> tail; private Stack(T head, IStack<T> tail) { this.head = head; this.tail = tail; } public bool IsEmpty { get { return false; } } public T Peek() { return head; } public IStack<T> Pop() { return tail; } public static IStack<T> Push(T head, IStack<T> tail) { return new Stack<T>(head, tail); } public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() { for(IStack<T> stack = this; !stack.IsEmpty ; stack = stack.Pop()) yield return stack.Peek(); } IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() {return this.GetEnumerator();} }
Notice that Push has disappeared from the empty stack and is static on the nonempty stack, and hey, check it out:
IStack<Giraffe> s1 = Stack<Giraffe>.Empty;IStack<Giraffe> s2 = Stack<Giraffe>.Push(new Giraffe("Gerry"), s1);IStack<Giraffe> s3 = Stack<Giraffe>.Push(new Giraffe("Geoffrey"), s2);IStack<Mammal> s4 = Stack<Mammal>.Push(new Tiger("Tony"), s3);
Oh my goodness, we just pushed a Tiger onto a stack of Mammals that is actually a stack of Giraffes underneath, but everything is still typesafe! There is nothing we can do here to cause an exception at runtime in the type system. It all just works. All the stacks of Giraffes continue to be stacks of Giraffes; they're immutable, so they could hardly be anything else.
This code is pretty ugly though. So...
public static class Extensions { public static IStack<T> Push<T>(this IStack<T> s, T t) { return Stack<T>.Push(t, s); } }
and now we can say
IStack<Giraffe> sg1 = Stack<Giraffe>.Empty;IStack<Giraffe> sg2 = s1.Push(new Giraffe("Gerry"));IStack<Giraffe> sg3 = s2.Push(new Giraffe("Geoffrey"));IStack<Mammal> sm3 = sg3; // Legal because of covariance.IStack<Mammal> sm4 = sm3.Push(new Tiger("Tony"));
Is that slick or what?
Next time: what about an immutable queue?
Couldn't we do:
public interface IStack<+T> {
... all the stuff you already have...
IStack<U> Push<U>(U u) where T : U;
public sealed class Stack<T> : IStack<T>
public Stack<U> Push<U>(U u) where T : U {
return new Stack<U>(u, this);
(notice the sneaky way I just presumed the existence of return-type covariance in this future hypothetical C# version ;) Of course it works equally well if the method in Stack returns IStack<U> instead)
does that mean that sg3.Push(new Tiger("Tony")) would be legal and that the compiler will automatically deduce that the result is of type IStack<Mammal>, finding Mammal from the given Giraffe and Tiger types?
It would be nice, too.
Stuart: you also sneakily added in another feature not currently in C#, namely constraining the type variable U to be a supertype, not a subtype.
Yes, if we had return type covariance on virtual overloads/interface implementations AND supertype constraints AND interface variance, then this would all work. In Scala, which has all those features, you can do exactly that.
> the compiler will automatically deduce that the result is of type IStack<Mammal>, finding Mammal from the given Giraffe and Tiger types?
No, that is not a feature that we want to add to C#. One of the guiding principles of our type inference design is "the type inferrer deduces the best of a set of given types; it never picks a type as "best" which is not in the input set".
In this case we would have the set { Giraffe, Tiger } and be unable to pick a best type from that. That is why in my examples I made sure that the type was either explicitly mammal, or that we were picking from the set {Mammal, Tiger}, which has an unambiguous best type of Mammal.
Some languages (Java, eg) will attempt to deduce a type not in the input set, but we do not want to go there. It greatly complicates the inference rules, which are already rather complicated.
I'm not sure I follow the example, Eric. When you write:
Oh my goodness, we just pushed a Tiger onto a stack of Mammals that is actually a stack of Giraffes underneath, but everything is still typesafe! There is nothing we can do here to cause an exception at runtime in the type system. It all just works.
Do you mean that it *should* cause an exception, and indeed does, or that due to the immutability (i.e. we're actually always creating "new" stacks) we're okay without any exceptions?
I mean that in a world where IStack<+T> is legal, the code above would just work as you'd expect and be perfectly typesafe. Because it IS perfectly typesafe. The only reason that array covariance is broken is because arrays are mutable. Since immutable stacks are immutable, stack covariance is perfectly safe.
Good, that's what I'd hoped :)
The point being that the stack of giraffes is still a stack of giraffes and can never contain anything else because it can never change *at all* - so appearing to add a tiger doesn't change the view of the world for clients which only have the original stack.
I think I'm with it now :)
It is 1 A.M. and you made me read this post, with sleep gone away. ;)
I'll have to dig up my lost C++ skills to see if I can come up with something similar with templates. After all, they are compile-time UTM!
C++ already has covariant return types for virtual functions, templated conversion operators should take care of supertype conversions and immutables datastructures aren't any big deal. Only thing missing from the picture is constraints.
I can mentally extrapolate the workings of immutable versions of most traditional data structures based on what you've shown with the stack... At least all the "linear" ones. What I'm really curious about is some good ways to create an immutable _tree_.
It seems like building a useful immutable tree would be a _lot_ more challenging. For one thing, the structure can diverge at any point, rather than only at the end. This reveals the limitation of this sort of immutability you have been illustrating: it makes incremental adding and removing very easy, but to insert or remove data at some middle point can be much more complex, and may necessitate breaking the "sharing".
This type of mid-structure change is such a critical operation for trees that, if it can't be done without breaking "sharing", then I wonder whether many of the benefits of immutability still apply in most tree use cases.
Sweet, but we *want* Push to be on IStack, don't we?
WaterBreath: There are tons of immutable tree demos on the web. Google for it and I'm sure you can find a powerpoint or flash animation showing you exactly how it works.
I'll do immutable trees after immutable queues.
IStack<Giraffe> sg1 = Stack<Giraffe>.Empty;
IStack<Giraffe> sg2 = s1.Push(new Giraffe("Gerry"));
IStack<Giraffe> sg3 = s2.Push(new Giraffe("Geoffrey"));
IStack<Mammal> sm3 = sg3; // Legal because of covariance.
IStack<Mammal> sm4 = sm3.Push(new Tiger("Tony"));
This doesn't work !!! Because :
IStack<Mammal> sm4 = sm3.Push(new Tiger("Tony")) is actually
IStack<Mammal> sm4 = sm3.Push<Tiger>(new Tiger("Tony"))
because the type is inferred from from type of the parameter that the method is called with
but inside the constructor you'll have
private Stack(T head, IStack<T> tail)
this.head = head;
this.tail = tail;
private Stack(Tiger head, IStack<Tiger> tail)
abd you call the constructor with this call
Stacknew Tiger(("Tony"), sm3) ... sm3 is sg3 witch is an IStack<Giraffe> so you bassically pass to to a constructor taking a tiger and a IStack<Tiger> and IStack<Giraffe> ... wich violates type safety.
it's 4:30 AM where I live but this ideea just pierced through my brain, because I can't sleep
This is how you can have covariance in .Net
let's say you want a method that pushes an animal in a queue and pops another one from the same queue
public Animal Foo<Animal+>(Queue<Animal> queue) {
Animal an = new Animal();
return queue.Pop();
what can you do to make the method work by passing an Queue<Giraffe>? this is the ideea
the method above should exactly equivalent with :
public Animal Foo<T>(Queue<T> queue) where T: Animal, new() {
T an = new T();
so now the first method can be called with an Queue<Giraffe>
Foo<Animal+>( new Queue<Giraffe) // works because Animal+ is a T generic parameter that is of Animal type.
Also this means if you write Bar<SomeType+> you don't create a closed generic definition but an open one and the instantiation is only when the method is called with a certain type.
Also you need to allow references to open generic types, for example
Queue<Animal+> q = new Queue<Giraffe>();
this is a reference to Queue<T> where T: Animal like so (a reference to an open generic type)
Queue<T> where T: Animal q = new Queue<Giraffe>(); // ****** just like an object reference can point to any type instance and reference to an open generic type should be able to point to any type constructed from it ******
so now
when the method Foo<Animal+>(...) is called
var x = Foo( new Queue<Tigger>()); //x is inferred as Animal
The whole point is:
- with those 2 things :
* allowing references to open generic types to be assigned with constructed types
Another ex:
List<Animal+> l1, l2; List<Animal+> is List<T> where T: Animal
l1 = new List<Giraffe>;
l2 = new List<Monkey>
* Covariant and contravariant parameters should create open generic types not closed ones.
is all that is needed to have covariance in .Net
public Animal+ Foo<Animal+> (Queue<Animal> queue) should be
equivalent with :
public T Foo<T>(Queue<T> queue) where T: Animal
P.S. doing this mental exercise i've found that .Net already has half the necesary things for covariance to work ( open generic methods already are covariant or contravariant...I hate those terms really)
> IStack<Mammal> sm4 = sm3.Push(new Tiger("Tony")) is actually
> IStack<Mammal> sm4 = sm3.Push<Tiger>(new Tiger("Tony"))
> because the type is inferred from from type of the parameter that the method is called with
Nope. Did you actually try it? (Obviously the covariant conversion will not work, but this call will.)
Hint: the type argument for the generic method is inferred from more than just the "new Tiger" parameter.

Library table, 1904
William Lightfoot Price (American, 1861–1916)
Rose Valley, Pennsylvania
White oak, stained; 29 1/2 x 66 x 39 1/2 in. (74.9 x 167.6 x 100.3 cm)
Sansbury–Mills Fund, 1991 (1991.145)
With the financial assistance of notable Philadelphians, architect William Lightfoot Price and his associates founded Rose Valley, a handcraft experiment that began on July 17, 1901. After Rose Valley exhibited at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, they received new commissions and notoriety. Rose Valley furniture recalls the Gothic precedents of British Arts and Crafts. This library table is composed of quartered oak with a dark stain. The hand carving, exaggerated mortise-and-tenon construction, Gothic tracery, and double-dovetail joints are hallmarks of Rose Valley furniture, which is rare as production ceased in 1906.

It started out as a story idea.
It turned into much more than that.
When I heard about drive-in movie theaters celebrating their 80th birthday, I was intrigued.
I had never been to a drive in before. I knew they were incredibly popular in the "good ol days," but I hadn't experienced one.
So I decided to send an email.
And that email led me to quite the experience.
I talked with the owner of the Verne Drive-In theater in Luverne. I talked with the former owner. The stories they had and the love of movies they showed was incredible.
I documented their story in an article earlier this month.
But there is another theater in our area, just south of Jackson.
Gaylord Kemp owns the Superior 71 Drive-In, which is on Highway 71 just across the Iowa border.
"As a kid, we used to go to the drive ins all the time, all the way through the 60s and 70s," Kemp said. "Even when I six or seven years old, going to the drive in with my parents or my grandparents or aunts and uncles, I always thought this would be a cool thing. Why would anybody want to go watch a movie inside if you can sit outside? I grew up and all the drive ins went away. Me and my wife, we used to date a lot and we'd go to the drive-in theaters and the one we went to the most was in Worthington, the Gay Drive In. We used to go to that one all the time."
Eventually, Kemp built a drive in of his own.
"For years, we were raising a family and for years, we talked about it, 'You know what? We should build a drive-in theater,'" he said. "I ain't kidding you, for 30 years, I bet I talked about it. Finally, my wife must have gotten tired of listening to me, she said, 'If you're going to do this thing, you better get going.' I don't know if I had to wait for some permission or what, but I started laying it all out. I managed to get it done. I also worked a full-time job at AGCO, I've worked there for over 25 years, and I still do. While I'm putting this thing together, I'm putting in 10 or 12 hour days and then I'm going down to the drive in and putting in another 10 hours in or more."
Even though there are late nights and long hours, it's worth it for Kemp.
"It's one of the most fun jobs in the world, it really is," he said. "Everybody that comes into the drive in is happy because they get to sit and relax for a few hours. Everybody is in a good mood.
"It is absolutely a part of America. It's been around for 80 years. There had to be close to 5,000 drive ins in the United States, now there's only about 400 worldwide. There isn't too many left."
I recently found out my parents' first date was at a drive in. They saw Trinity, which my mom described as "a funny cowboy movie, kind of stupid, but dad loved it."
My girlfriend, Kelsey, and I drove over to Luverne to see what a drive-in was all about.
It turned out to be a great night. We saw Monster's University and the Lone Ranger.
The movies were good, but the experience was excellent.
We arrived early, not really knowing what to expect.
We found our spot and situated the car on the humps, which angle the car to allow for easier viewing. We made a trip to the concession stand and awaited the movie to start.
As the sun went down, the movies began. The sound came through the car stereo, so we were able to sit and enjoy the movie in the comfort of our own car. The screen was huge, giving us a great view of the movies.
Some at the theater sat in chairs in front of their car. Others sat in the back of trucks. But it seemed like everyone enjoyed it.
I have to say, it was a great first experience.
I know drive ins have been disappearing, but I sure hope these in our area stick around.
Even though it was my first experience at a drive in, I sure hope it won't be my last.

Alliance and the Chess Club. She also is a member of
the committee that evaluates and advises on
improving the climate at Albany High.
In addition, Gialanella currently helps disabled
students at Albany High set up and operate a school
store, giving those students real-world experience
in retail operations. She also initiated an effort
to recognize teachers who make a difference in the
lives of students.
The three students who will be recognized are
Jamie Curcio, an eighth-grader at
William S. Hackett Middle School, Jaden
Tesch, a third-grader at New Scotland
Elementary School and Tamera Thomas,
a sixth-grader at Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle
Each was a winner in the city's 2011 "What
Juneteenth Means to Me" essay and poster contest.
The event is scheduled from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the
City Hall rotunda, and the public is welcome.
The Sheridan Preparatory
Academy chorus will perform at the event. The Albany
Fund for Education, the non-profit group that
supports Albany's public schools, also will be
recognized for their efforts.
The mission of the City School District of
Albany is to educate and nurture all students to be
responsible citizens, critical thinkers and lifelong learners to
successfully compete in the global community by providing an
academically rigorous and safe environment in partnership with parents,
students and the community. The district serves about 8,700
students in 15
elementary, middle and high schools. In addition to neighborhood
schools, the district includes several magnet schools and programs, as
well as other innovative academic opportunities for students,
including four themed academies at Albany High

Hits and Injuries: Iginla, Heatley, Kessel, Smith, Duchene, Downie, Jones and Abdelkader
- CapGeek: "Jarome Iginla has already earned $3.7M of his $4.2M performance bonuses. Because he just hit 30 goals, he can now earn an additional $250K if the #Bruins win three playoff rounds and another $250K if they win the Stanley Cup. That also means the #Bruins will be faced with a significantly reduced upper limit next season due to bonus overages.
- Mike Kelly: Wild's Dany Heatley was scratched yesterday for the first time in his career.
- Chris Johnston: Maple Leafs Phil Kessel had x-rays on his foot after the game last night.
- Sarah McLellan: Coyotes Mike Smith could start staking soon and is out for at least another week. He worked out yesterday and will continue his off-ice work. Coach Dave Tippett is hopeful that he'll be able to return before the end of the season.
- Terry Frei of the Denver Post: Avs forward Matt Duchene will have an MRI done on his knee either today or tomorrow.
- Sarah Baicker of CSN Philly: Flyers Steve Downie is getting close to returning to the lineup, but it won't happen today.
- Jim Matheson: Oilers Ryan Jones will be out for the rest of the season with a ligament tear in his knee.
- Jim Matheson: Oilers Viktor Fasth (neck sprain) and Nail Yakupov (broken ankle) skated yesterday.
- Ansar Khan: Red Wings Justin Abdelkader (leg laceration) said there is a chance he plays today.
