My lovely friend Bettina has a sweet little daughter. When the girl was about three, one day she was sitting at the dinner table looking out the window at the wide world outside. And she said very thoughtfully: "Mom, wouldn't it be beautiful if everything was pink?"
Taste questions aside, I think that's very precocious. And funny. Gotta love it.
"And imagining the world being different shows ability for abstract thought, instead of just reacting."
Joe said:
All kids talk that way. We forget, so that when it comes to our kids or someone else's, we thinking "How precocious!" when it isn't.
Your example is still funny, though.
eolake said...
I a-fear you're right, Joe.
There are many signs the rigid "logical" mind gets a lot more rigid and in the way of imagination as we grow up.

Hatchet 2 Is HappeningGoon
Hatchet 2 talk has been going on for quite some time and we have heard Adam Green come out and say that it may happen. Well today he wrote a very lengthy year in review blog and at the very end he confirmed that Hatchet 2 is in the cards. Here is the bit that he wrote concerning Hatchet 2:
"Yes, it is happening. I just can't say for sure what my involvement will be yet. As you just read, I have way more than I can possibly handle on my plate. So if the powers that be can be patient, I will return at the helm. But if the ship has to set sail sooner rather than later, I may have to pass the torch. Think good thoughts, dream gory dreams, and just maybe I'll be the one behind the camera when Victor Crowley returns to kick your fucking asses."
He revealed awhile back something similar about maybe not being able to direct the film. It would be interesting to see who they would pick up to direct the sequel. An interesting choice would be Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2). Green and Lynch are both friends and they both think a lot alike. Well only time will tell for now.

Docket No. FDA-2012-N-0967
Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305)
Food and Drug Administration
5630 Fishers Lane
rm. 1061
Rockville, MD 20852
Via electronic submission
These public comments are submitted to the docket number above in response to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notice of public meeting and request for comments dated September 14, 2012. These comments are endorsed by the undersigned and are offered respectfully for your consideration as you implement the FDA's patient-focused drug development initiative.
As stated in the public notice, the recent reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) includes performance goals and procedures that represent FDA's commitments during FY 2013-2017, and Section X of these commitments relates to enhancing benefit-risk assessment in regulatory decision making. The public notice also makes clear that a key part of regulatory decision making is establishing the context in which the particular decision is made — a context that must include a thorough understanding of the severity of the treated condition and the adequacy of the existing treatment options.
We applaud the FDA's undertaking of these commitments and your prompt initiation of a process for obtaining patient perspectives on disease severity and unmet medical needs, including nomination of a preliminary set of disease areas that could benefit from a more systematic and expansive approach to obtaining such patient perspectives. We would also like to commend the FDA for acknowledging publicly that, "Though several programs exist to facilitate patient representation, there are currently few venues in which the patient perspective is discussed outside of a specific product's marketing application review." We wholeheartedly agree that it is terribly important that we work together to ensure that the patient perspective is taken fully into account at every regulatory stage of therapy development.
The FDA's notice invites public comments on the preliminary list of disease areas and requests that those who propose additional disease areas for consideration describe how they applied the criteria identified by the FDA. We would like, first, to offer an overarching suggestion we believe would enhance significantly the FDA's ability to accomplish the stated objectives of the patient-focused drug development initiative. Our suggestion is aimed directly and solely at the key targets the FDA has identified for the initiative.
Those key targets are made clear in the FDA's public notice — a thorough understanding of the severity of the treated condition and the unmet medical needs so as to set the context of regulatory decision making in regards to benefit and risk. If the FDA's key targets in this initiative were, instead, a more thorough understanding of such factors as the genetics or pathology of particular diseases, a list of 20 specific diseases might seem sensible. However, given the clearly stated key targets of the initiative, we feel strongly that a far more effective approach would be to identify "disease areas" that involve clusters of diseases that have profiles that are identical or very close to identical in terms of disease severity and unmet medical needs. This approach would enable FDA personnel, in a single meeting with patients and advocates representing a number of disorders, to develop a thorough understanding of severity and unmet medical needs held in common by all in this "disease area" and to set the context for benefit-risk evaluation and decision making for each of them.
We would like to illustrate the potential strength of this approach by suggesting one such "disease area" in which all the disorders listed have profiles that are identical or very close to identical in terms of disease severity and unmet medical needs and the patients and advocates of those disorders are in agreement that such is the case. We would also like to describe how this "disease area" meets all the criteria identified in the FDA public notice.
Illustrative Disease Area — Degenerative Neuromuscular Disorders Affecting Children
The disorders in this disease area would include: 1) the muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, myotonic muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy; 2) Friedreich ataxia; 3) ataxia telangiectasia; 4) spinal muscular atrophy; 5) Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; 6) congenital myasthenia gravis; 7) congenital myopathies; and 8) severe pediatric onset forms of metabolic diseases of muscle such as mitochondrial myopathies.
This disease area and all the disorders listed within it clearly and fully meet all the criteria identified in the FDA's public notice and they meet those criteria in identical or very close to identical ways:
We believe that, in the disorders listed in this particular illustrative "disease area," the key factors of severity of disease and impact on quality of life as well as unmet medical needs are so close to identical that the stated objectives of the public meetings to be scheduled over the next five years could be accomplished for this whole set of disorders in a single meeting. Further, we believe that other "disease areas" could be readily defined so that, without adding to the number of meetings, the FDA's patient-focused drug development initiative could be extremely effective in setting the benefit-risk decision-making context for far more than 20 specific diseases.
We would welcome the opportunity to work closely with you on this approach. Again, we applaud and thank you for your active and energetic implementation of the commitments you have undertaken under the recently enacted Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act.

The Pop Show
The T-Shirt:
This tunic-length loose-fitting t-shirt from Numph is both fun and functional. The sleeves are nice and short for those sweaty moments on the dance-floor and the vibrant lioness will make you feel like a wild, feral animal.
The Jacket:
Chartreuse is the color of the moment and this gorgeous silk jacket from Chaser is the perfect way to class up your outfit without wearing a heavy cover up on mildly chilly spring nights.
The Jeans:
These sexy jeans from J Brand are skin-tight, but they also have stretch (for those down low dance moves) and are dark (in case you spill your drink on them doing aforementioned dance moves.)
The Must-Have Bag:
Bag it up with this fun disco cross-body bag from Forever 21.
The Killer Shoes:
We know you may want to look like a diva, but keep your heel low enough so that you can actually dance (and aren't stumbling out of the venue). These cute little kitten heels from Heart of Darkness have a slingback (stays on your foot), small heels (so you aren't falling), and adorable fringe to make give your feet extra action.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Riverwest Filling Station in the works on Keefe
That heavy-duty remodeling activity at 701 E. Keefe Ave. -- the old Albanese's restaurant -- is the precursor to the building's next act as Riverwest Filling Station, a restaurant and bar serving dinner and craft beer. »Read Full Blog Post

That address should be 701 East KeefeHide replies
i was just about to comment on that. i was wondering how 7th and keefe would ever be considered "riverwest". now that we pointed out the mistake- how long do you think it will be until they correct it?
Uh, 54 minutes.
Sounds like this could be a distinctive bar and restaurant. I must admit the headline first made me think that Mayor Tommy and his crew were putting in a (taxpayer funded) electric outlet for the many Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf drivers in the Riverwest area!
Thanks, folks, correction made.
Was at Centro on Monday night and am a frequent imbiber at Nessun Dorma and Corazon. Am noticing more and more Carpetbaggers (no offence intended) coming to the neighborhood for the fine food and ambiance. The food quality in the neighborhood has increased leaps and bounds over the last 10 years. Really a great place to raise a family and have all the amenities of an eclectic city. Great work Riverwest!

On Saturday, the Plymouth boys basketball program will retire the No. 35, the first jersey to ever receive that honor in its history.
The retirement is in honor of Gabe Miller, who wore No. 35 his senior season at Plymouth and was a member of Bo Ryan's first undefeated national championship team at UW-Platteville before tragically dying in 1995.
But through the years, the No. 35 has had a special meaning in Plymouth, and its history is written all over the record books.
The journey begins with Chris Hein, 1990 Plymouth graduate and the current activities director at Sheboygan South. Hein wore No. 35 in his senior season - a year in which the Panthers advanced to the Class A state quarterfinals - and set the single-game scoring mark at 39.
The following season, Miller took the number over, and promptly tied the single-game mark with a 39-point outburst.
"We were close friends, so it was really cool that we shared the same number and shared the scoring record," Hein said. "I really think he stopped at 39 though, he could have kept going."
"I think Gabe wore (No. 35) kind of as a tribute to Chris," Dale Miller, Gabe's father said, "and that special season (1989-90). I think that's why Gabe took the number."
Gabe Miller finished his career at Plymouth as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,127 points.
Just two years after Gabe Miller had graduated, Dave Mikolyzk was on the Panthers basketball team, scoring a lot of points and wearing a familiar number.
Mikolyzk was still wearing the No. 35 when Gabe Miller passed away in 1995, and would wear the number for one more season. After graduating in 1996, Mikolyzk left Plymouth as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,180 points.
The jersey was then put away until 2001, when a freshman named Casey Dellger was ready to wear the black and orange. And for the first time in five years, Dellger became just the second player to wear No. 35 since Gabe Miller.
And thanks to where Dellger grew up, it was fitting he'd be the next to wear that special jersey.
"We lived right across the street from the high school, and Gabe would cut through our yard on his way home from school," Casey's father Jack Dellger recalled. "He would always stop, and dribble around with them (Casey and his younger brother Logan) and encourage them. They would look forward to him coming through."
With Casey Dellger wearing No. 35 in honor of Gabe Miller for the Panthers' varsity squad in 2004, another of Miller's records would fall when Dellger scored 41 points in a single game.
"Gabe would go over there and shoot buckets with those (Dellger) boys," Dale Miller said. "They always had a basketball in their hands. They were around the gym a lot.
"I think if Gabe was here, he would be really honored that those kids chose to wear that number, just because it was his number."
Casey Dellger would then pass that No. 35 down to his younger brother Logan who, of course, would break the single-game scoring record in 2007 with 43 points. The youngest Dellger - Myles - then graced No. 35 until he graduated in 2011.
And with the Panthers set to get new uniforms the next season, head coach Jason Duff decided it was time for a tribute to the player that helped establish the significance behind that No. 35.
"That number has a lot of significance for a lot of people in this community," Duff said.
And so on Saturday, Plymouth's No. 35 will forever be remembered, along with the legacy bestowed upon it by some of the greatest players in Panthers history - particularly Gabe Miller.
"We've heard from all kinds of people who are thrilled that this is taking place," Dale Miller said.
"I think about (Gabe) every now and then, and really try to be the best person I can be and take advantage of the opportunities I've had," Hein said. "And I think about how special Gabe would have been."

An Introduction
So, I'm moving into an apartment in the near future. Following that, I will have to learn how to manage my documents and ensure I can find them back in time. I've thought of a few solutions, one of them being what I do now – where I simply have a folder with PDF's of my documents (I digitalize everything). This works fine now.. (I have like … 20 documents).. But it may not work in 2 years when I have a hundred documents spread over many different corporations and years.
I then thought of making the system searchable. This means, that I have to have a method of indexing all documents, preferably long-term. I thought of making a website, where I attach metadata to each uploaded document (that I make searchable by using OCR). Metadata will then be data like the start and end date, a descriptive title and perhaps one or two categories.

In an unsurprising revelation, The Hangover III will feature more of Ken Jeong's character Mr. Chow. He was a popular character in the first instalment of The Hangover series despite spending a significant amount of screen time semi-naked and gagged. He returned in The Hangover II to party alongside the wolfpack. Jeong's schedule is being managed to ensure that he can appear in a more prominent role in The Hangover III alongside his role in Community.
The plot has been kept under wraps for the most part, but the story should involve breaking Alan (Zach Galifianakis) out of a mental institution at some point. Tijuana will be the setting for the third instalment. Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms are also expected to reprise their roles, while Todd Phillips will assume the role of director once more.
The Hangover III is expected to be released on May 24th 2013.

Travel is one of the biggest and fastest growing industries in the world. In 2008, the Office of Travel & Tourism Industries estimated that more than 40 million Americans traveled by air to international regions, including Canada and Mexico. In the same year, close to 50 million visitors from all over the world traveled to the United States by air. It's no wonder because traveling offers a great opportunity for people to get away from their daily routines and experience another culture or adventure. In order to enjoy a carefree holiday, it's extremely important to be prepared as fully as possible. It's always best to know what to do when a passport is lost or a flight is delayed.

"For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - The Cincinnati Zoo has scuttled a ticket promotion after an uproar over an affiliation with a Kentucky museum that tells the Bible's version of natural history.
The offer was on the zoo's Web site on Sunday, but it was no longer available Monday afternoon. The $25.95 promotion granted admission to the zoo's holiday light show and the Creation Museum's live nativity performance.
Zoo officials contacted the Creation Museum on Monday to say they were scrapping the offer after a rash of complaints, the museum said in a statement. Calls to the zoo weren't immediately returned Monday.
Scientists and bloggers complained that the zoo should not be affiliated with a religious-based institution that dismisses evolution theory.
The Creation Museum, founded by the religious ministry Answers in Genesis, has drawn criticism from the scientific community since its opening last year. The museum is about 25 miles from the zoo.

Sustainability Update
Liaison network proliferates, creating a culture of sustainability
Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013
Sustainability Liaisons are members of the campus community who have expressed a desire to learn more about sustainability and to engage their peers in developing sustainable behaviors. Several liaison groups bring these individuals together each month to learn about topic areas and what they can contribute to in their daily lives. Liaisons bring questions and ideas to the Office of Sustainability, are given suggested actions, and asked to identify ways their peer group can contribute to building a more sustainable university. Being a liaison is an academic year commitment, starting in September and ending in June 2014. Learn more, and sign up!
Workplace Sustainability Liaisons
University employees share best practices about implementing sustainable office programs. Ten liaisons participated last year, in the program's first year. All participants reported noticeable change in their personal and professional lives, and many served as sustainability experts for their departments. They reported improved waste diversion in their workspaces as well as energy conservation, especially by turning off computer monitors. Many of their departments use single-use coffee pods, so the group shared ideas for reusable pods and pod recycling programs--several Liaisons successfully started new initiatives in their departments. The Workplace Sustainability Liaisons program relies on SCU employees who want to learn more about the impacts of their work. Liaisons are encouraged to engage their colleagues to look for ways their departments can contribute to the University's strategic priority of justice and sustainability.
Community Facilitator Sustainability Liaisons
The CF Liaison program also started last year, with a CF representative from 6 RLCs and one from Nobili, meeting monthly to share ideas for sustainability-related programming in the Residential Learning Communities. They created a number of bulletin boards to educate their residents about topics like endangered tigers and creating a global sustainable community and served as sustainability experts for their RLC's staff team. The CF Sustainability Liaisons were a key factor to the success of last year's Energy Challenge. Each CF engaged their residents in energy-conserving behaviors and created fun building-wide events for the Zero Power Hour.
Students Collaborating and Organizing Opportunities and Projects for Sustainability (SCOOPS) was the first Sustainability Liaison program, started several years ago. Leaders from student organizations discuss ways to incorporate sustainability into their club's events and operational practices. SCOOPS provides a space for student leaders to collaborate on events and gather feedback to improve programs get ideas for new initiatives. Participants include leaders from Into the Wild, BLEJIT, Retail Studies Student Association, Society of Women Engineers, and Engineers Without Borders.
Living Off-Campus and Living Sustainably (LOCALS) started as a SCOOPS project last year. LOCALS is a network for students who live off campus to learn how to develop sustainable behaviors and to engage their housemates in practices that not only help the environment, but save money and develop community. LOCALS will begin in September, and will include community-building events and peer-led skill exchange workshops and trainings about topics like vermicomposting, DIY holiday gifts, sustainable party planning, and buying "local" on a budget.
The Liaison Network connects individuals across campus to create collective action. As our Sustainability network grows, so too will the collective contributions of our liaisons and their peer groups. Each liaison group is accepting members. Commitments vary, and all involve attending a monthly meeting and participating in a few monthly actions.

Urban Politics #96: The City Budget
No Comments (Leave Comment)
By City Councilmember Nick Licata.
Urban Politics (UP) blends my insights and information on current public policy developments and personal experiences with the intent of helping citizens shape Seattle's future.
- The City Budget
- City Property Tax
- Programs Funded
- Licata Sponsored Legislation
The City Budget
Two weeks ago the City Council passed the new biennium budget (years 2001 and 2002) for the City of Seattle. The City's total proposed budget, which includes state, federal and other outside funds totals approximately $2.41 billion for 2001 and $2.48 billion in 2002. The City's general fund, which excludes utility revenues, all outside grants and many other sources, amounts to $606 million for 2001 and $628 for 2002. By state law the City must have a balanced budget so our expenditures cannot exceed our revenues.
These are the budget figures as they are presented to the City Council by the Mayor in the fall. The City Council then must approve a final budget by November 30th. Since the Mayor's budget accounts for all known revenue if the Council wishes to fund any programs other than what the Mayor has proposed then they must either cut a program funded by the Mayor or find a new source of revenue that was not accounted for in his budget. Consequently, the Council's adjustments to the final budget generally amounts far less than 1% of the general fund. This year the Council found approximately an additional $1 million in revenue for the 2001 budget and $1.3 million for 2002's budget.
The Council for the 2001 budget also moved approximately $2.8 million out of programs or funds from the Mayor's budget into ones that it preferred. For the 2002 budget Council moved $1.3 million out of the Mayor's budget.
City Property Tax
The Mayor's original budget was based on a 6.1% increase in the City's share of the property tax. After the passage of I-722 (which is currently being challenged in the courts) the budget had to reflect a 2% increase which left a $6.2 million revenue shortfall in 2001 and $13 million in 2002. The City Council passed a budget with a 4.1% increase based on the increase in labor and health costs generated by our current labor contracts. The difference between 4.1% and 2% amounted to $3.2 million in 2001 and $3.4 million in 2002. The collection of this revenue is to be placed in a special account and to be only release upon the courts final determination on the applicability of I-722 on the City.
If I-722 is overturned by the courts then the funds will be released for specifically marked purposes: street paving, sidewalk construction, emergency shelter and transitional housing. These funds, however, cannot be appropriated until the final legal determination of I-722 's obligations are made.
The issue of whether to collect a 4.1% or a 2% increase in property tax was a subject of discussion among the Council Members. On the final vote two Council Members (McIver & Pageler) voted for the 2% increase, this would have amounted to a little over $3 million decrease in each budget year as noted above. They did not suggest which programs or funds or staff positions should be cut to total $3 million. I would have supported just a 2% increase as well but since no cuts were suggested I did not think it was responsible to support a budget that did not balance. It would have been easy to favor funding all of our programs and then also propose cutting the revenue that funds those very programs. Such an approach may look good but I do not think it makes for good governance.
Programs Funded
The Council funded 20 new programs or increased funding to current ones in 2001 budget for a total of $822,000. I will not repeat the entire list but I will identify some of them and their primary sponsors. These are not listed with any reference to size or importance but listed to just give readers a sense of the type of programs that are funded.
With the exception of one dissenting vote (McIver) for providing $25,000 for a Youth Music Violence Project, all 20 received unanimous support from the Council. Margaret Pageler did not sponsor any of the 20 so she is not listed below.
$82,000 for funding an additional DCLU housing inspector – Nicastro
$70,000 for a Survey of Historic Resources – Steinbrueck
$45,000 for funding a volunteer coordinator for the Office of Senior Citizens – Conlin
$55,000 for funding King County Drug Court – Drago
$90,000 for adding a case manager for African American Elders Project – McIver
$125,000 for funding sexual assault services – Compton
$125,00 for funding domestic and sexual violence prevention – Wills/Conlin
$150,000 for funding a 1 year car recovery clinic providing legal services – Licata
In addition to the 20, there were 2 others in 2001 whose funding was moved directly from a specific program or fund in the Mayor's budget to a new one. The $250,000 for Renters Assistance was entirely shifted from the proposed Wage Equity Fund and the $320,000 for Safe Harbors came entirely from the sale of the Odessa Brown Clinic. And lastly the $700,000 earmarked for the acquisition of Hitts Hill (which was not included in the 20) located near Columbia Park in Rainier Valley is to be entirely reimbursed to the General Fund in 2002 from other funding sources.
CM Peter Steinbrueck had also proposed spending $12 million for a Homeless Strategic Response in the biennium budget. I and CM Judy Nicastro strongly supported this effort. In the end Emergency Shelter received $1 million and Transitional Housing received about $1,750,000 million. In addition the Council passed a resolution (7-2, Pageler, Compton) in support of providing an additional $ 2 million for affordable housing, including transitional housing, should the courts decide that I-722 would not reduce the city's budget to the extent that this money would be made available.
Licata Sponsored Legislation
Below are the details of two particular budget items (Jefferson Park Trail and theCar Recovery Program) that I sponsored. The final item is a description of legislation concerning the disposition of funds for the arts. Budget legislation not only consists of adding and subtracting programs from the City's budget, but it also contains directives to city departments on how funds should be collected or deposited for future expenditure. The final piece on the Arts Admissions Tax is such an example.
Car Recovery Program —
The City Council approved $150,000 in funding to begin a Car Recovery Clinic that will work with owners of cars impounded under Seattle's "Operation Impound." Some background is helpful in understanding this item.
In 1998 the City began "Operation Impound." This program authorized the impoundment of vehicles driven by drivers with a suspended or revoked driver's license. By May 31 this year nearly 7,600 autos had been impounded under Operation Impound and 2,600 autos had been auctioned because of the owner's inability to pay for the tickets. Last summer a coalition of groups, including the Central Area Motivational Program (CAMP), the Labor Employment Law Office (LELO), and the Office of Public Defense formed the Drive to Survive Committee. Drive to Survive focused upon the law's disproportionate affect on communities of color and the working class poor who rely on their vehicles to get to work. Together, Councilmembers Licata, Steinbrueck, and McIver sponsored legislation that would limit the City's ability to impound vehicles to those drivers who were considered by the Department of Motor Vehicles to be dangerous drivers. This legislation would have exempted those safe drivers! who had a suspended license because they were unable to pay for their ticket. The proposal was defeated by the City Council with a 5-4 vote.
After the defeat of this proposal, the Drive to Survive Committee approached Councilmember Licata to ask for his support of a "Right to Legal Counsel" proposal. Their belief was that if the City was going to confiscate the cars of poor people through a civil process they'd better pay for legal counsel so that these people would have the support needed to challenge these impounds in Court. Indeed, when the Office of Public Defense takes these cases to Court they often find many impounds to be unlawful for reasons as varied as illegal stop by the police (profiling), the failure of the DMV to notify the driver of a suspended license, and the absence of any suspended license at all! It is easier for citizens to access the courts to make these kinds of legal defenses if they have an attorney representing them.
The result of the 2001-2002 budget process was that although the City Council could not agree to establish a statutory right to legal counsel in these cases, they did agree to funding a one year pilot program. The proposal that gained the unanimous support of the City Council was to provide funding for legal support services for low income people seeking recovery of their vehicles impounded for DWLS under Operation Impound as a demonstration project for one year. The City Budget Office will design and issue a request for proposal (RFP) to create a "Car Recovery Clinic." This RFP will encourage the use of law student interns and paralegals. The RFP will specify that the program can fund the use of attorneys in cases that meet certain criteria.
I believe this law clearly has the most negative impact on the working poor and communities of color. Hopefully a car recovery clinic will correct this injustice and help those people hardest hit.
An earlier edition of UP has additional information about the impound ordinance at http://www.seattle.gov/leg/licata/up86.htm .
Jefferson Park Trail —
The 2001-2 budget includes $51,000 for a trail on the northern perimeter of Jefferson Park along Spokane Street. My proposal to fund the project passed unanimously.
The $51,000 provides enough funding to construct a soft-surface path in two sections: from 16th Avenue South to Beacon Avenue South, to the north of the Seattle Public Utilities Beacon reservoir; and from Beacon Avenue South to 24th Avenue South, to the north of the Jefferson Park 18-hole golf course. The fences to both properties are currently in the process of being moved back, providing additional open space.
If park advocates want a more fully developed trail, with plantings, irrigation, benches, or other amenities, other City sources are available. For example, there is a $10 million Opportunity Fund included in the Parks levy, as well as the Neighborhood Matching Fund, Neighborhood Street Fund, and others. The $51,000 was obtained by reallocating money in the Department of Parks & Recreation budget.
The trail will enhance safety; with the fences moved in, especially to the north of the golf course, more people will walk in this area, with no visible pathway. The trail will also complement the significant progress made by the Beacon Hill community and the City in accomplishing key goals of the neighborhood plan in Jefferson Park.
Arts Funding —
As part of the budget process, I proposed an ordinance to formalize the arts funding mechanism put forth by Mayor Schell earlier this year. The Mayor's resolution, passed by the Council in September, called for diverting 20% of the City's unrestricted admissions tax revenues to the Seattle Arts Commission. As a resolution, it was a statement of City policy; however, it did not carry legal force, and could be ignored by elected officials in the future.
My ordinance formalizes the 20% of unrestricted admissions tax revenues into a dedicated funding mechanism, because ordinances carry the force of law. This ensures future budgets will include this funding mechanism, unless the ordinance is repealed. The ordinance creates a special account for the 20% of the City's unrestricted admissions tax revenues, with revenues dedicated to the Seattle Arts Commission.
The ordinance passed by an 8-1 (McIver) vote.

Mac mini photo leak shows DisplayPort, FW800

Mac mini 2009 Photo Leak
A photo has surfaced today at AppleInsider that appears to support earlier claims that Apple will release an updated Mac mini with revamped ports. The image shows a system which replaces the single, full-size DVI connector with both Mini DVI and Mini DisplayPort connectors that would let it run legacy displays as well as Apple's newer Cinema Display. It also replaces the FireWire 400 port with a faster FireWire 800 jack and adds a fifth USB port.
Other design traits, including the aluminum shell, white back and other expansion, appear identical to the existing system, suggesting that most changes would be on the inside. Apple has long hinted that the Mac mini will switch to an NVIDIA platform that uses some variant of the GeForce 9400M, which adds the option of DisplayPort as well as much faster integrated graphics than the Intel GMA 950 used in current Mac minis.
When the system will be released is still unknown, though the most recent rumors have tentatively offered a March introduction.

The Chicago School's Center for International Studies and Center for Multicultural and Diversity Studies, along with the Chicago Campus, recently hosted an International Student Exchange which brought seven international students to the campus for a week-long program entitled "An Introduction to Psychology in the US."
A truly global group, two students came from China, one attended from Cambodia and another came from the United Kingdom. Another three students from Peru all came from the Universidad Peruna de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) in Lima, where The Chicago School has an International Liaison Office and where Dr. Leslie Wolowitz presented last September on international psychology and the effects of multigenerational trauma. The Peruvian students were accompanied by Liliana Galván Oré, the dean of the psychology school at UPC.
The objectives of the week-long program were to provide the exchange students with a thorough overview of various areas of professional psychology from the school's faculty, allow them to observe faculty and students in action through real-world settings, give them the opportunity to network with current students and Chicago School faculty, and allow them to learn by doing through participation in classroom activities and community outreach efforts.
"From the beginning I felt as if I were at home," said Elizabeth Milagros Montoya Santos, a student from Peru. "The interactions with others helped me not only to see internal points of view, but also a macro level, learning from other cultures, and enriching myself from them. Thanks to all the team that was a part of this challenging and interesting program. I leave full of wisdom and knowledge."
The customized curriculum allowed the visiting students to hear from a variety of faculty and students in different departments. As an introduction, students learned about graduate psychology study and matriculation in the U.S., and then had the opportunity to participate in discussions about clinical counseling in the U.S., forensic psychology, applied behavior analysis, industrial/organizational and business psychology, health psychology, school psychology and international psychology. The students also learned about Latino/a mental health issues in the U.S., the positive psychology movement, and The Chicago School Community Partnership program. Several of the programs provided interaction with current students at The Chicago School, fostering interactive dialogue on study in the U.S. and offering both TCSPP and the exchange students the opportunity to increase their multi-cultural awareness and global perspective.
The exchange students also got a chance to venture out, visiting two community partnership sites: Illinois Masonic Medical Center and the Center on Halsted. Of course, no trip to Chicago would be complete without a little sight-seeing. Students visited the Art Institute and took a mini-tour of State Street ending at Millennium Park.
Sebastián Echecopar Natteri, another Peruvian student, echoed other students' sentiments in how warmly they were treated during the visit. He was impressed with the willingness of each country to share knowledge with their neighbors, he said, "with the intention of mutually helping one another in this mission that we have of searching for a better quality of life for everyone that lives in our communities."
Another international student exchange is scheduled to take place at the TCSPP Los Angeles Campus from January 31 to February 5, 2010. The week will culminate with the Latino/a Mental Health Conference sponsored by The Chicago School's Forensic Training Institute in Los Angeles.

Mr. Cerda's letter ["Stop blaming Fox, Limbaugh for failures," Jan. 30] shows his clear problem with facts.
Five solid years of failure? Really? Here are some of the "failures" he must be referring to: health care - 30 million more Americans now with access and three million kids not being dropped, no pre-existing conditions or dropping people for being sick. Saving an economy and an auto industry, a stimulus package, credit card and Wall Street reform, more equitable pay for women, marriage equality, ending tax cuts for the rich, increasing fuel-efficiency and lowering student-loan costs.
More potential "failures" could have been accomplished if not for Republican obstruction - failures like immigration reform, real gun control, minimum wage increase, renewable energy rather than oil subsidies, and fighting voter suppression efforts.
The economy "stinks"? He is obviously referring to the rich getting richer, economic growth now over 3 percent, Wall Street's historic highs, unemployment below 7 percent for the first time since Bush, and the federal deficit being half what it was in 2009.
Finally, I realize imaginary scandals can never be investigated to your satisfaction since trashing our president is your obsession, but why no outrage when the WMD lies of the Bush years cost hundreds of thousands of lives?

I was fit for my 910D2 two years ago and am concerned that it may be time for a shaft change. At the time I was fit for the Kai Li R flex but was right on the border between R and S with a 96mph swing speed. I hit both the R and S flexes and chose the R flex due to my average loading at the transition (at the time). Now, I'm concerned the shaft feels to light and whippy and I can't go after the ball like I want to as a result. I have really been struggling with timing and it seems I loose the feel of the clubhead and shaft when loading (now more aggressively). What are other clues that it may be time to go in for a refit?
I would definitely go in for a new fitting. Shafts do tend to wear out overtime from excessive use, and it sounds like yours may have. The guys can fix you up in no time, and you'll be back out on the course with more confidence.

I know exactly when my nerve block from yesterday's surgery wore off. At 3:17 am, my right shoulder woke up and the rest of me jolted awake with it. I made myself doze on and off until 9, but never got back to sleep. Thus armed with 1.5 hours of restful sleep (we got to bed pretty late last night), I knew that I was going to either A) be a miserable lump sitting on the couch while feeling sorry for herself or B) go and do something that would take my mind off of my shoulder. I chose B and so Boyfriend and I bundled up and drove east for the first hike of the year.
Mindful of the cold Boyfriend has been slowly fighting off, the general flabbiness we've found ourselves embracing, my recent surgery (yesterday!?), and Boyfriend's slight hangover, I thought we should take it a bit easy on ourselves. I proposed that we hike to Rattlesnake Ledge, a nearby hike that I'd never done. According to the guide, the hike is 4 miles round trip, with an elevation gain of 1,160 feet. Getting to the trailhead around one, we had to park out on the street and walk in, so my watch logged 4.74 miles and 1,163 feet.
What a gorgeous day for a hike. Apparently a lot of other people agreed because this was one crowded trail. We must have encountered several hundred people on the trail- everything from avid hikers and trail runners to people walking up listening to the hike leader preaching a sermon. About halfway up the trail, I found my pace and didn't find the trail to be very challenging. Boyfriend, on the other hand, really struggled on this one. We both agree that we will need to do a lot of conditioning this year, and what better time is there to recommit to one's health and fitness than on January 1st? The view from the top was pretty, but didn't really warrant the gushing that I've heard regarding Rattlesnake Ledge.
Because of yesterday's surgery, I elected not to wear a pack (youch!). Boyfriend nobly carried our lunch, my microspikes, and a spare coat for me in his pack, and I put my camera in a holster bag that I can attach to my belt. It is liberating to hike with nothing on your back! I am generally uncomfortable about hiking without all of my emergency gear, but given the option of not hiking until the incisions on my shoulder heal, or hiking with minimal gear, I'll choose the stripped-down version every time. I wouldn't go out alone without my safety gear though- if Boyfriend hadn't come with me, I would not have done this hike today, even with the many people that were there to tramp and trudge up the trail with you.
After our hike, Boyfriend and I went to Irene Family Thai Cuisine for dinner. Irene's is one of our favorite Thai restaurants and they seem to be open when no one else is, such as on New Year's Day. I love their fresh rolls as an appetizer, and either the spicy eggplant or the Pad Si Ew (rice noodles with broccoli in a sweet soy sauce). Boyfriend really likes their Yellow Chicken Curry which is prepared with chicken, onion, potato, and pineapple. We both love their black sticky rice pudding with coconut milk- the dessert arrives hot and is lightly sweetened and creamy.
The restaurant is never crowded, the service is attentive, and the food is well prepared and arrives piping hot. I find that the cook at Irene's takes the time to develop layers of flavor- their yellow curry has a lot of complexity and depth. The food is a bit more expensive than other Thai restaurants in and around Woodinville, but I think the food is worth the small extra charge.
My shoulder pain has not been as intense as what I experienced after my first surgery. This is partly because this operation was less destructive than the first surgery was and partly because I can actually stomach the prescription pain meds this time. I think too that the level of pain after the first surgery was shocking because I had never been hurt so badly before whereas this time, I expected it. I do have almost a full range of motion today, and much more than I've had over the last 9 months and so while painful, I'm better able to stomach the ouch because I can already see progress. Tomorrow is my first physical therapy appointment with Jessica and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of progress she and I can make this time around.

A walk seen through the lens
Lighting conditions started out with some well-placed fog that soon gave way to sunshine and shadows during the annual Gig Harbor Photo walk, part of the sixth annual international Scott Kelby Photo Walk taking place worldwide. About 30 local photographers registered in advance and then met on Saturday at Skansie Brothers Park before setting out on foot for a walk around the harbor to capture images. The kind of photography gear didn't matter as there were point and shoots, SLRs and even a custom made outfit combining two cameras. Participants have until Saturday, Oct. 14 to upload their best shot to the worldwide database, for a chance to win any number of prizes.

The way things are going on this Afghanistan strategy decision I'm going to be doing TV live shots with dentures and a bald head before we get a decision from President Obama. My good looks eventually will fade. (some will say they faded after I turned 3)
The Associated Press is reporting this morning that President Obama isn't thrilled with any of the Afghanistan options presented to him. He wants some new ones. Read below:
President Obama has decided to reject all four war options for increased troop involvement in Afghanistan.
He wants more information on the options, and most important, he wants more information on the viability of the Karzai government.
The president has severe reservations about troop escalations in light of confidential cables sent to the State Department by America's ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry.
According to the Washington Post, Ambassador Eikenberry has expressed deep reservations about Afghan president Hamid Karzai's erratic behavior and corruption and has strongly recommended that the president not increase American troop involvement until the Karzai and the Afghan government demonstrate a willingness and ability to deal with that corruption and govern their own country.

November 30, 2015
LUVERNE, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama hospital will soon shut down its maternity ward and quit delivering babies.
WAKA-TV reports that Crenshaw Community Hospital in Crenshaw County will stop deliveries as of next week. The station reports that women will have to drive at least 40 minutes away to give birth at the next-closest hospital.
Hospital CEO Brad Eiseman says the hospital is closing the department due to financial pressure from sequestration and cuts under the Affordable Care Act.
Eiseman says the number of babies born in the hospital has declined over the years, another factor in the decision. Last year, 108 babies were delivered. Eiseman says at least 300 babies need to be delivered for the hospital to be able to afford providing the services.

>Sonora / Tuolumne News, Sports, & Weather, Angels Camp, Twain Harte, Jamestown | Union Democrat
Fast kicking led to outstanding performances at the Tuolumne County Aquatic Masters 2nd annual Holiday Kick-Off at Sonora Sports and Fitness Center.
Sixteen swimmers challenged themselves on Dec. 13 to kick as fast as they could for 400 yards, which is 16 laps.
The swimmers had the option of using each of the four kicks, including free, back, breast and fly. Keeping their hands on the kick board was required except at the turns.
Casey Slater, 42, led the team for the second year in a row. She broke her previous time by one second to finish in 6:13.06.
For the men, 71-year-old Dick Todd also finished first for the second year in a row in 7:06.08.
The two youngest participants, Jon Tillay, 27, and Angie Pack, 28, both finished in second place overall. Tillay kicked in at 7:37.51 followed by Pack in just under eight minutes at 7:58.90.
Jane Lucich, 51, put on a surge during the last 50 yards to drop five seconds (9:34.70) under her best from last year. She was awarded the outstanding kicker of the event based on her effort and drop in time.
Taking the challenge along with Todd in the 70-79 age division were Karl Kleman, 73, in 9:03.06 and first year swimmer, Bob Wilson, 70, in 10:15.63.
In the 60-69 group, Jon Mahanna, 66, and Ruth Garretson, 68, kicked close together for the entire distance. They finished seven seconds apart with Mahanna placing first for men in 9:19.31 and Garretson (9:26.13) was first for women.
Finishing second in the division were Sheryl Parola, 65, in 9:39.25, just 13 seconds behind Garretson. Gary Johnson, 62, was second in 12:56.77.
The Lucich wife-husband duo dominated the 50-59 division. Jane and Jim Lucich, 54, both placed first. Jim narrowly missed breaking nine minutes with a time of 9:00.81. Jenny Van Blaricom, 54, was second behind Jane in 11:56.53.
Kicking in after Slater in the 40-49 division, were Patti Philpott, 43, in 8:25.44 followed closely by Darci Scanlin, 47, in 8:41.11.
The 400-yard kick event is offered as a postal event by the Menlo Masters. Swimmers can submit their overall times and be ranked amongst other competitors in five-year age divisions. Results will be announced in January.
The TCAM group is in winter training for its annual mile and one hour swims which will be held in January.

Rich sound, good build quality
December 9, 2013
Reviewer: RayZor from Chicago, IL
Alright, so I scored the 2nd Gen M9Ps on Groupon for a $25, so I'm more than satisfied.
These look, feel and sound great. Flat-wire cording is red and black on the reverse side, its definitely tangle-resistant, but I feel its not knot resistant unfortunately. The wire is thin and doesn't weigh down your earbuds. Unlike most other headphones, these earbuds don't generate any noise when rubbed up on clothing, which results in a better listing experience.
The aluminum housing for the earbuds make you feel like these are premium headphones, and feel sturdy.
Sound is good, its Bass enriched, and loud. I don't hear highs that much, but it has plenty of mids and lows.
The volume control on the remote is nice, it works with all phones Android/iPhone. NOTE: The volume control doesn't control your device's volume directly, which is good and bad. Although, I do like that I can pump these earbuds up more notches, because with the volume control, it feels like I have 2 volume knobs!

Adena Pike Medical Center is operating as normal today, after a water line break that occurred early this morning.
Due to the water damage in the lobby area, patients and visitors must enter and exit the hospital through the doors near the Emergency Department until further notice.
At approximately 2 a.m., a water line serving the sprinkler system froze and burst near the main entrance, resulting in some flooding of the lobby area, nearby hallways and a surgery suite. Because the sprinkler system was affected, an alarm went out to the local fire department. There was no fire. Patient rooms were not impacted and patients were never in any danger.
Patients with questions may call (740) 947-2186 for more information.

I agree I don't know how it could be measured. I'm just asking the question from a theoretical perspective.
Suppose one plots a ZS-style Net D/Log H curve with the usual goals of finding an EI speed point net D of 0.1 and Zone VIII net D of say 1.20. If the measured zero-exposure fb+fog density is 0.30, and one measures a Zone VIII gross D of 1.50, the assumption is that Zone VIII net D is 1.50-0.30 = 1.20. But what if at a gross D of 1.50, there is actually 0.35 fb+fog density? In other words, what if there is a >0 slope to the fog density "curve"?

Worst Dealers and Casino Staff Ever
by Bellagio Sucks , 03/10/2013
Fountains shmountains! We stayed in the Bellagio and though the rooms were nice the casino staff were deplorable! My wife was new to Black Jack and the dealer was rude and condescending! I played the dealer hold em and the lady was a complete waste of hide. Rude and misserable. I will never stay there or gamble there again to many other great choices in Vegas to retain a staff like that.
1st class all the way
by email@example.com , 09/13/2011
Bellagio is by far the best hotel in Las Veas. The buffett in the best. You got to see it to believe it. I would highly recommend going when you come to Vegas!

BI-LO and Coca-Cola have partnered with the USO to support its Operation Phone Home (OPH) program, which connects troops deployed overseas with their families back home through among other things, a private phone network. For every rotisserie meal bundle sold at all BI-LO stores, Coca-Cola will donate $1 to OPH, which buys troops about 20 minutes of talk time.
"When a service member is deployed overseas, separated from their friends and family, sometimes for long periods of time, nothing means more to them than to be able to hear the voice of a loved one," said USO VP of Corporate Alliances Cathy Martens. "The USO is grateful to have Coca-Cola and BI-LO partner with us to support a program that gives our troops that connection they want and need. And it's only fitting that Americans can help our service men and women spend some quality time with their family, just by purchasing a meal to enjoy with their own family."
The meal bundle includes: a rotisserie chicken, one 16 oz. Signature Deli Salad and one 1.25 liter bottle of any product of The Coca-Cola Company. The program kicks off April 11 and runs through May 8 (or up to $35,000 donation or while supplies of specialty-marked carriers last) and participation is available at all BI-LO locations.
"What a great way for BI-LO shoppers to give back to those who sacrifice so much for our country," said Category Manager for Deli at BI-LO, Brian Young. "Coca-Cola and BI-LO are happy to present a deal that provides great value for our shoppers while also benefiting the troops."
"We are excited to partner with BI-LO and the USO to provide this simple, but meaningful opportunity for our troops—the ability to talk with their loved ones on the phone, while they are away serving our country," said Lauren Steele, Coca-Cola spokesman.
OPH also provides deployed troops with access to computers with free internet bandwidth to connect with friends and family, as well as free wireless Internet access for troops with their own computer. Prepaid phone cards are also provided to service men and women overseas. The standard USO calling card offers about an hour of talk time.

Don't try and characterize the whole United States.... Although it has a reputation for moral righteousness and narrow-minded religious orthodoxy, most of that nonsense is restricted to a (albeit large) minority. The majority of people are pretty moderate (or liberal) in their views of sex. Just take a look at the sex-crazed media industry.

Yes, but after all of her other problems
like credibility
But only after the other liabilities such as
Mit Romney should offer a follow up speech for free every where she appears...
Mamma give a speech today -- Mamma eat tonight!
"Recently the Las Vegas Review-Journal obtained a copy of Mrs. Clinton's contract for a speech at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to be given in October for which she will be paid $225,000..."
That's a year's tuition at Yale for four promising Ferguson youths!
... and still sharp as a tack!
You go, girl!
ahahahahaha. tea baggers want to talk about credibility. tell us again about those death panels. any day now right? lol
I see you're laughing.
More proof that ignorance is bliss.
Knee jerk hateful reactions of the former secretary of state reek of women hating by republicans
That universities want her to speak, and are willing to pay out of the school's foundation which is is funded by varied donations unrelated to students and tuition, etc-- means she is a draw, she is valued, she is is a good fundraiser for the university, and that benefits everyone. The foundation recoups the money.
Hillary's detractors need to realize that not everyone holds her in contempt. And the articles here lean republican......

Regarding the visa..thanks. My apologies to the board as I was being lazy and found the info with a little more digging.
As for getting from Chiang Mai to Bagan or Mandalay....what I was looking at was a bus from Chiang Mai to the border at Mai Sai. Cross to Tachiliek and then catch an Air Mandalay flight to Tachiliek=>Mandalay (daily flights per their website).
Assuming Air Mandalay is reliable, and if I had a visa in advance, this route seems maybe easier than Chiang Mai=>Bangkok=>Yangon=>Mandalay.
Anyone done this, or the reverse which might be even easier?

As far as I'm aware you'll be restricted to the immediate area around Mai Sai/Tachiliek up to as far as Keng Tung.

Hi! We can't say all of Myanmar airlines are reliable .
If you enter to Myanmar from another place ( expect Yangon ) , you will be get only 7 days or 14 days Visa . And you have to leave your passport at border immigration . So , that way is very risk .
I would like to recommend the second way ( Chaing Mai - Bangkok - Yangon - Mandalay ) .

From all my recent research there is no way you are going to cross the border at Mai Sae without leaving your passport at immigration ( to ensure you return same day). Hopefully, despite the military regime, border crossings for foreigners will be allowed in the near future.

Did you think Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow had taken over every possible aspect of your life? You were wrong -- Republican Presidential candidate and current Texas Governor Rick Perry said during the Republican debates Thursday that he wants to be the "Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses."
|Tebow Saturation
No, really. This happened; Perry was attempting to point out that he's not a great debater (he's, um, not) but that he was getting the hand of things and he was ready to make a comeback.
"There are a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback," Perry said on Fox News Thursday. "There are people that stood up and said well, he doesn't have the right throwing mechanisms, or he doesn't -- you know, he is not playing the game right. You know, he won two national championships, and that looked pretty good."
"We're the national champions in job creation back in Texas. But am i ready for the next level? Let me tell you -- I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses."
It's impressive that Perry's desperate wily enough to bust out a pop-culture reference in order to cull points with voters and try and make himself look cool and stuff. But if this works, watch out, because next thing you know he'll be the "Justin Beiber of New Hampshire" too.
Unfortunately, he obviously hasn't learned the lessons involved with Tebow: it's not about "not being a pretty football player." It's about having a great group of players around him, never saying things that are even remotely controversial and not forgetting basic facts.
Also, it's mechanics. Not "mechanisms."
Whatever, it's entirely likely that Perry will need a ridiculous late-game comeback to nail the Republican nomination, so maybe it's an appropriate analogy after all.

Em D A G Em
You looked good As I walked away
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
G Em D A G Em
You would've never been hungry But you never really be
The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
G Em D
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore
D Em G D
Sometimes time doesn't heal No not at all
This song sounds best when the chords are barred
D Em G D
Just stand still While we fall
D Em G D D Em
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
A-Am hammer-ons
It won't let me in
Always looking out
D A G Em
Lot of people spend their time just floating
G Em
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
G Em
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're
A G Em
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time
D Em G D
Sometimes time doesn't heal No not at all
D Em G D
Just stand still While we fall
