We have found ourselves a receiver. That was a hell of a catch and it is good to see that he brings it every game. If Darks and Johnson are going to be nonexistant, we have to have someone step up. Jake has been that guy so far this year.
I don't bring my own opinions, just attack others.
Hes got Lanes hands..but not the speed he had
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
agree with you on something. the kid is gritty. i can see him gaining confidence every week, as well as aa gaining confidence in him
With darks and Johnson dropping passes I can see why Arnaud is going to Hamilton and Willams. On the last drive alone they both made excellent catches.
He's a walk on isn't he? He's had several great catches in the last few games.
He has shown to be worthy of being a go to guy. I stated in another post that he is rising to the top. My guess is he is getting the system ahead of Darks and Sed
No, he's from iowa and so is arnaud. neither one have the capability of being big 12 players.. not
Nice. He is going to become a fan favorite if he keeps this up. Even if he is from Iowa.

Didn't you hear that Mac's recruits and Iowa players are not as good as the out-of-state guys that Chizik brought in?
Gene Smith, 1993-2000. 7 years, 6 NCAA's, 1 bowl game. Revenue sports postseason participation 50%. Good.
Bruce Vandevelde, 2000-20005. 5 years, 4 bowl games, 2 NCAA's, 2 NIT's. Postseason participation 80%. Better.
Jamie Pollard, 2005-. 4 years. 1 bowl game, 0 NCAA's, 0 NIT's. Postseason participation: 13%. The next big step.
My ignore list: splitidentity, tarheelhawk,superdorf, clones_jer. That is all.
maybe Flynnesque? we need another Whitver

Featherstone (Darks/Johnson) is unable to catch a pass thrown to him]
Coach R: Keep your eyes on the ball, son.
Coach Herman: I'd rather he kept his hands on the ball.
i love Darks and Johnson, but today reminded me of Necessary Roughness and the quote above with Featherstone. by the way, I think Jake Williams is awesome! I am glad we have him.
Are you a member?
maybe he gets to be another wes welker. Dont want to put undo pressure on him but a third down receiver would be great/
if we can get the other guys to step up on the sidelines and down the field, i could see jake as a welker type posession wr. problem is he is our best down the field, sideline, over the middle wr, except for hamilton.
that was the only pass all day that wasnt thrown in the dirt or behind a receiver.
"Has Paul Rhoads run out of gas? Is this the year we lay an egg?" 5/18/2012 5:52 A.M.
I'm very shocked, with the tangible abilities that Darks and S. Johnson have, that they are not performing better. Of course, Hamilton and Williams are doing very well, and are somewhat picking up the slack.
Now if we can get Arnaud to play well..........

You need to check the caliper slider bolts. If they are stuck, the brakes would seize. The other thing to check would be the caliper pistons. If any dust cover is broken, the caliper piston can get stuck due to dirt accumulation on the piston.
Try loosening the bleeder bolt and retightening to see if the brake releases.

Bernard Labadie has established himself worldwide as one of the leading conductors of the Baroque and Classical repertoire, a reputation that is closely tied into his work with Les Violons du Roy and La Chapelle de Québec, both of which he founded and continues to lead as music director. With these two ensembles he regularly tours Canada, the US and Europe, in major venues and festivals such as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kennedy Center, The Barbican, The Concertgebouw, and the Salzburg Festival, among others.
|Posted: Apr-8-2015
After a long journey back to the podium, Bernard Labadie is taking nothing for granted.
|Posted: Nov-25-2015
Marc-Andre Hamelin has proven himself - in three highly lauded volumes of Haydn's piano sonatas - to be a formidable Haydn pianist, combining style, exuberance and dazzling technique with a palpable sense of joy in the music. This release is the fruit of a partnership with the award-winning Canadian chamber orchestra Les Violons du Roy and their director Bernard Labadie, whose previous recordings for Virgin Classics and other labels have received the highest critical acclaim. With his scintillating performances of Haydn's three most popular Piano Concertos, Hamelin further demonstrates his special affinity for this repertoire.

"Few of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's periodic forays into the era predating the standard symphonic repertory are as intelligently programmed and engagingly performed as the one Bernard Labadie is directing this weekend at Symphony Center."

Photos: A look at 10 Cowboys who need to step up and make a difference
Photo: G.J. McCarthy/Staff Photographer
Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones: At 25, Felix Jones should have some wear left on the tires. At least that's what many expected when the season began. Through three games, however, that hasn't been the case. Jones had a critical fumble at the start of the game against Seattle and had one rushing attempt for -1 yard against the Buccaneers. DeMarco Murray is the workhorse in the backfield, but if Jones can't make a positive contribution on the offensive end and continues to struggle on special teams, you have to wonder how much longer he's going to be in the silver and blue.

We spent one night at Lake Jennings Camp site and what can I say but WOW! W stayed in site 19 right next to the playground even though we didn't have any kids with us. Our site was very private and the park was clean and quiet. Because the park was not packed we were able to take our chairs and go sit at a different site that overlooked the lake. Staff very nice and helpful, allowed us to park our trailer out front while we attended a funeral, picking up after the normal check out time. I would highly recommend this beautiful hideaway. - jerry&kristi

Apr 2013 - $35.00
Stayed for four nights in this park. Had a site in the loop on the hill which has nice views. Restrooms and showers were clean and well functioning. Wi-Fi was working ok, however, the signal is not equally good throughout the park. On the hilltop it was rather weak and you had to walk down to the bench where the bird watching area is. Would stay here again and can recommend this park. - Chbronson

There are a lot of permanent rigs. They have a large mostly fenced grassy area to run your dogs. The basic layout of the park allows for cool breezes to reach each level of the park Our site was sort of a "parallel parking" site - a challenge for a 5th wheel.
We found the office staff a bit prickly.
Since that is the face of the park we were disappointed. - zen_letitbe
Mar 2015 - $24.00
We stayed here on a monthly basis for 2 months, hence the lower daily rate. The current rate is $48 but discounts are available. There are several permanent residents, but everything is kept up quite nicely. The park has many trees and most sites have some shade. They have a rec room, kitchen, game room, heated pool and Jacuzzi. - MTcouple
Aug 2014 - $43.00
Attractive wooded, terraced, treed RV park tucked along small stream in historic ranch setting. Easy utility connections with excellent water pressure. Wifi was a local provider. While service was good, it was limited to two one-day passes and one hour per day without paying. We used excellent Verizon 4G LTE signal. Bridge to frisbee golf and dog run area that was huge. Peaceful and quiet. - jbrucemagon

No Food, No Heat, No Electric, No Home: What to Do in a Bad Situation
Wake up today only to find a utility turned off? Don't have money for food? Can't make ends meet? Things can go from bad to bad, bad to good, or bad to worse. Here are some things to do while waiting for things to get better. It's better than doing nothing.
They were behind on their gas bill by only a few months, but when they woke up one frosty Monday morning their worst fears had come true. Their gas had been shut off and there was little they could do about it. They owed more than they could pay, from the cold winter months that ravaged the Midwest..and like many others, they found that the gas company could shut them off when the temperature reached a certain level. No matter that next week it was going to get below freezing..the only way to get the gas turned back on was to pay the amount in full.
Could anyone help? No, they actually made too much money to get assistance. They had no savings, she was unemployed, and they really needed the money he made to put food on the table. Sometimes you have to make choices-food, or utilities. Food or medication. Medication or illness and death. And the list goes on.
So what can you do in situations like this? Situations where you feel defeated, as if you have no power over your circumstances? I suppose you could borrow the money, if you have it in your power to do so. Then you can owe somebody else (or they can own you). Some people don't have that opportunity open to them though, do they?
Here are some things you can do though-and realize that things can and will get better if we just sit back and give it a chance. But you can't just sit still and let it all happen without fighting back with your wits and survival skills, now can you?
If you gas is shut off, hopefully you have an electric water heater and stove. You can always buy some electric heaters to keep your home warm enough to tolerate the winter months. The trick and the key is not to let both utilities get shut off at the same time, as that would make things very difficult indeed. If you must go without paying one, make sure the other is paid in full every month. I prefer, personally to have electricity to operate those things that are important to me. After all, I can't use a computer or watch TV, or even read a book with natural gas. If you can at all afford to replace your gas appliances for electric way before it ever becomes an issue-you won't be faced with the inconvenience of heating water in the microwave to take a bath. It can be done though. If it happens and you have a gas water heater and stove, you will quickly learn that the microwave oven and your grill are your friends. You can always get electric room heaters and electric blankets to warm you, and you can always wear more clothing, in layers. You can survive, so take a deep breath and start planning.

there are things you can do if your wages are cut but if you have none you are in a real pickle. You can do without everything but a shelter if you can possibly hang onto it.Everything else takes second place. Let's hope everything will be better and jobs will be back.

- The Unit of Credit
- The unit of credit is the semester credit.
- Course Numbers
- Lower-division courses are numbered 100-299. Upper-division courses are numbered 300-499.
- Class Standing
- The class in which a regular or conditional student is ranked at the beginning of the college year is based upon the following:
Class Standing Standing Completed Credits First-Year 0-27 credits Sophomore 28-59 credits Junior 60-89 credits Senior 90+ credits
Grades and Transcripts
Grade Reports
Midterm and final grades are made available to students through their WebAdvisor accounts. No paper grade reports are distributed or mailed unless specifically requested by students. Copies of grades are sent to parents only if authorized by the student. Students having questions or needing assistance should contact the Registrar's Office.
Transcripts of Record
Official transcripts of record are ordered through the Registrar's Office. Transcripts are released only when financial obligations to the College have been met. As stated on each transcript, federal law requires that release of such records be authorized personally by the student. No third party may legally have access to that record without the student's written consent. Official Transcript Request forms are located online on the Registrar's page or can be accessed through WebAdvisor.
Repeating Courses
Upon notifying the Registrar and with the permission of the instructor, a student who has earned grades of C-, D, or F in a course may repeat the course for the purpose of mastery of the subject. All grades are entered on the student's permanent record, but only the last grade is used in calculating the grade-point average. Only one enrollment is used in computing the total number of credits. Such repeated courses count in the calculation of the student's load for Veterans' benefits only if the original grade was F, or if a grade higher than C- is required for graduation. If the repeated course is to be taken other than in residence at The College of Idaho, permission must be granted by the Vice President for Academic Affairs (or designee) in accordance with limitations on credit listed under Graduation Requirements.
Individuals or groups of students always have the privilege of petition. Academic petitions should be addressed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee. Other petitions should be directed to the appropriate administration officer. Academic petition forms can be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Only completed, timely petitions will be reviewed. A student's negligence regarding policies and deadlines stated in the Catalog or other official documents typically do not merit petition approval.
The following charts indicate the meaning of the grades assigned and the number of quality points given per credit for each grade. Students who fail to register or enroll officially are not assigned grades or given credit for a course.
|Passing (P)
|Incomplete (I)
|In-Progress (L)
|Withdrawal (W)
|Administrative Withdrawal (WA)
|Audit (AU)
|Passing with credit given. May be elected by students in some instances under the Pass-Fail option.
|Incomplete - refer to Incomplete policy.
|Work in progress not expected to be completed in one term.
|Clear withdraw from course(s).
|Withdrawal initiated by Faculty or Administration.
|Audit of coursework.
Grade-Point Average
The grade-point average (GPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of credits attempted, except credits marked P, S, U, W, WA, and I, and other credits awarded which do not carry quality points. Credits with the grade of F are used in the calculation.
Dean's List
To receive Dean's List recognition, a student must complete at least nine or more graded credits (excluding grades of P and S) in a given semester and achieve a GPA of 3.75 or higher for that semester. Dean's List recognition is given only for the Fall and Spring semesters.
Academic Honors
The College of Idaho awards honors upon graduation to recognize outstanding academic achievements:
- Cum Laude
institutional grade-point average of 3.50 - 3.74
- Magna Cum Laude
institutional grade-point average of 3.75 - 3.84
- Summa Cum Laude
institutional grade-point average of 3.85 - 4.00
Academic Reprieve
Students who have completed two consecutive full-time semesters at The College of Idaho with a grade-point average of at least 2.00 in each period may once, and only once, after consultation with and approval from their advisor, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the Registrar, eliminate one entire previous semester's, session's, or quarter's work from the computation of credits and grade points in their academic record. The eliminated work may have been attempted at any college or university. Nothing will be erased from the record, but the work in question will be bracketed to indicate that it is not being counted. None of the work undertaken in the session that the student chooses to eliminate may be counted toward any requirement for graduation. Students may repeat the eliminated courses only if they have not subsequently taken and passed courses to which the eliminated courses are prerequisites.
Grade Mediation Policy
If a student believes a course grade was improperly or unfairly assigned, the College has a grade mediation procedure to help resolve the matter. The evaluation of a student's academic performance is the sole responsibility of the person appointed to teach or supervise the course. A student who questions the validity of a faculty member's final evaluation of his or her academic work should confer with that faculty member within the first six weeks of the next full academic semester (i.e., discussion of Fall or Winter grades must begin within the first six weeks of Spring semester, and Spring grades within the first six weeks of Fall semester). If the matter cannot be resolved between the faculty member and the student, the student should seek the appropriate department or division chair or academic advisor to act as a mediator between the student and faculty member. However, the faculty member assigned to teach the course retains the final responsibility for assigning the course grade. After the final outcome, if the student and/or mediator feels that the faculty member in question has been unprofessional in resolving the matter, they should send a letter to the Vice President for Academic Affairs to be put in the file of the faculty member and considered by the Faculty Evaluation Committee as part of the regular evaluation process.
If the student writes a letter to the Vice President for Academic Affairs to be put in the file of the faculty member, a copy of the letter will be given by the VPAA to the faculty member and to the mediator, so that they may be informed of the comments. Either or both the faculty member and the person who served as mediator may write letters for the file as well.
The mediator will prepare a brief summary of the interaction with the student and its outcome and will give a copy of the summary to the student, the faculty member, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. He or she will also retain a file copy. The file copy and the Vice President's summary will be retained through the subsequent evaluation period of the faculty member, in case it would need to be referred to for any reason.
If the faculty member whose grade is questioned is no longer employed by the College or is otherwise unavailable because of sabbatical leave or some other reason:
- The student meets with the department chair of the faculty member's department (or, if the faculty member involved is the department chair, then the student meets with the division chair).
- The department chair and the student's academic advisor help the student prepare a petition for review by a special committee appointed by the Vice President for Academic Affairs in consultation with Curriculum Council; the committee shall consist of one member from the faculty member's department or a closely aligned discipline, one faculty member from the division, and one faculty member from outside the division.
- This special committee will review all available material and speak with people who may have insight into the situation and will come to some resolution that may include—but is not limited to—changing the grade(s) in question to Pass.
- The timelines for beginning the grade mediation procedure are the same whether or not the faculty member continues at the College.
- The decision of the special committee is final.
Academic Misconduct
The College of Idaho maintains that academic honesty and integrity are essential values in the educational process. Operating under an Honor Code philosophy, the College expects conduct rooted in honesty, integrity, and understanding, allowing members of a diverse student body to live together and interact and learn from one another in ways that protect both personal freedom and community standards. Violations of academic honesty are addressed primarily by the instructor and may be referred to the Student Judicial Council.
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on exams or assignments, plagiarism, ghost writing, buying or using a term paper, exam, or project that was not composed by the student turning it in, use of unauthorized notes or information during an exam, taking an exam for another student, collaboration on take-home exams when it has been forbidden, or furnishing false or misleading information on any official College form or the College website.
Plagiarism is the presentation of another's product, words, ideas, or data as one's own work. When a student submits work for credit that includes the product, words, ideas, or data of others, the source must be acknowledged by the use of complete, accurate, and specific references, such as footnotes. By placing one's name on work submitted for credit, the student certifies the originality of all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgments.
A student will be charged with plagiarism if there is not an acknowledgment of indebtedness. Acknowledgment must be made whenever
- One quotes another person's actual words or replicates part of another's product;
- One uses another person's ideas, opinions, work, data, or theories, even if they are completely paraphrased in one's own words;
- One borrows facts, statistics, or other illustrative materials, unless the information is common knowledge (already published in at least three other sources without citation).
The burden of proof of student academic dishonesty or misconduct lies with the professor; the imposition of penalties is also the responsibility of the professor. Professors have the discretion to require that the student repeat the assignment or exam, or may give a failing grade for the assignment, exam, or course, or may otherwise deal with the academic dishonesty in a manner he or she determines to be appropriate. Before determining an appropriate disposition of the situation the faculty member is encouraged to consult with the Vice President for Academic Affairs to see if there are other instances of academic dishonesty by the student on file in the Vice President's records.
A brief report of the incident and penalty imposed will be filed with the professor's department chair and the student's advisor. A copy will also be placed in a file in the Vice President for Student Affair's office, separate from the student's academic file.
In any instance the student has the right to appeal the professor's accusation and penalty, first to the department chair, then to the division chair, and then to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
In the case of repeated or more serious violations of academic honesty, the professor or department chair may recommend to the Dean of Students and the Vice President for Academic Affairs that the student either be placed on academic probation, or be suspended or expelled from the College. The Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Dean of Students will hear and determine the charges and the course of action.
Academic Standing - Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Students' progress according to SAP is measured at the end of every semester in order to determine academic and financial aid eligibility for future semesters. For a more detailed description of the College policy please see the Financial Assistance webpage. In order to maintain SAP students must maintain the following:
- Have a grade-point average of 2.00 or higher.
- Earn a minimum number of credits for each academic year (based on Federal Financial Aid completion rates)
- Complete all degree requirements within a specified time-frame
Student Standings
Students' progress according to the SAP Standards is measured at the end of every semester in order to determine eligibility for future semesters. Students can be in one of following SAP status categories:
Dean's List
To receive "Dean's List" recognition, a student must complete at least nine or more graded credits (excluding grades of P and S) in a given semester and achieve a GPA of 3.75 or higher for that semester. "Dean's List" recognition is given only for the Fall and Spring semesters.
Good Status
Students who are meeting all of the Standards of SAP and are not in a period of "Warning," "Suspension," or "Probation" are in "Good" standing and no additional enrollment, advising, or "Academic Plan" requirements are specified.
Warning Status
Students falling below the standards for the first time will be placed on "Warning" and will receive a letter and/or an e-mail (to The College of Idaho e-mail account). A student may continue to receive financial assistance during the "Warning" period. Students on "Warning" are encouraged to work with their advisor and to use the counseling, tutoring, testing, and other services available on campus to assist them with improving their academic standing. At the end of the next semester, progress will be reviewed and the student may:
- Be removed from "Warning" and placed in "Good" status if both the cumulative GPA and cumulative completion rate standards are met;
- Be placed on "Suspension" and suspended from receiving financial assistance from federal, state, and institutional sources.
Suspension Status
Students who do not meet both standards (Qualitative and Quantitative) are no longer eligible for financial aid. Students will receive a letter informing them of their "Suspension." Students who are placed on "Suspension" may petition if there are extenuating circumstances that led to academic difficulties (see petition process below).
Probation/Academic Plan
A student on "Probation" may receive federal, state, and institutional aid for one semester pending evaluation.
- Students who have been placed on "Probation" and are attending their program under an approved academic plan remain eligible for aid as long as they continue to meet the conditions of that plan.
Petition Process
Students who are placed on "Suspension" may petition if there are extenuating circumstances that led to academic difficulties. A student may petition (with supporting documentation) in these situations:
- Extenuating circumstances: situations over which the student has no control and may include death in the student's immediate family, hospitalization, accidents, and illness. Supporting documentation is required.
- "Suspension" resulting from a grade of "Incomplete (I)" or missing grades.
The following must be included with the petition:
- Why the student failed to meet satisfactory progress,
- What has changed in the student's situation that will allow the student to demonstrate satisfactory progress at the next evaluation, and
- A written academic plan with advisor signature.
The Financial Aid and Academic Standing Committee will:
- Review the petition and current academic performance,
- Convey in writing to the student the approval or disapproval of the petition.
- If the petition is approved, the student will be placed on "Probation" for the next semester.
- If the petition is approved and the student does not meet the requirements of the approval as outlined in the approval document, the student will be automatically placed on "Suspension."
Students who have been "Suspended" and choose not to petition, or who miss the petition's deadline, or whose petition is denied may be considered for re-admission upon presenting evidence of ability to do satisfactory college work. Normally, the expectation is that the student will complete at least 12 credits at another regionally accredited college or university with no grade below a C. Students who have been dismissed and do not appeal may not enroll in any classes at The College of Idaho unless they have permission from the Financial Aid and Academic Standings Committee.
A student may submit a maximum of 2 petitions during their time of study at The College of Idaho.
The policy does not preclude a student from enrolling in subsequent semesters. Students can raise their GPA and/or satisfy credit deficiencies by taking additional course work at The College of Idaho without receiving financial aid or by transferring in credits from another institution. Students who have lost eligibility for financial aid will not regain eligibility simply by paying for his or her classes for a semester or by sitting out a semester. Students may have their financial aid reinstated once all SAP standards (both qualitative and quantitative) are met. Students can also submit a copy of their College of Idaho transcript and a petition form to verify grade changes, including removal of Incompletes, if this will result in the student meeting the requirements of SAP for financial assistance.
Incomplete Grades
The grade of I, or Incomplete, may be assigned only when the student has completed the majority of coursework with a grade of D or better and when the instructor believes the student's inability to complete the course is due to legitimate causes beyond the student's reasonable control. The instructor and student must complete an Incomplete Grade Contract. All work for the course must be completed and a final grade submitted to the Registrar by the end of the next semester (Fall or Spring), or the grade of F will be recorded. Instructors may establish earlier deadlines. By petition and with the permission of the instructor concerned, the Vice President for Academic Affairs may extend the time for completion in cases of hardship.
Pass-Fail Option
At any time before the posted last day to elect pass/fail or withdraw from a class, a student may elect to take a course on a Pass-Fail basis by filing a form with the Registrar. The choice is, as of the limiting dates noted, irrevocable. Students should refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates each semester.
- No more than one course per semester may be taken Pass-Fail.
- No more than 18 credits of P may be counted toward graduation. (This does not apply to courses where P is the only mark given and the student has no option.)
- Courses to be counted toward a major, minor, concentration, or a graduation requirement may not be taken Pass-Fail.
Note: Since the grade of P indicates any assigned grade of D- or above, students should be aware that some post-graduate institutions may discount records with this grade.
In some programs, including some study -away programs only Pass-Fail grades may be recorded for earned credit. These courses, in which students have no option for letter grades, may be exempt from the limitations listed above. Students must request a waiver of limitation with the Registrar's Office at the time they file the application for overseas study. The student must also file an academic petition for the waiver.
Directory Information
At its discretion, the College may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) to include a student's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, major field of study, dates of attendance, class standing, full or part-time status, degrees and awards received, photos, most recent previous educational agency or institution attended, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of members of varsity athletics teams. Students may withhold directory information by notifying the Registrar's Office and filling out the appropriate form. This request for non-disclosure will be honored until it is revoked. A request to withhold directory information will prevent the student's name and degree from being published on the Dean's Honor Roll and in the Commencement program. If non-directory information is required during an emergency, The College of Idaho may release that information if it deems that the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals.
Students may allow the release of academic and/or financial information to designated individuals by completing the Information Release form that can be obtained in the Registrar's Office.

I think I would have gone with LOST rather than STOLEN!
But that's just me.
Let's hear from a Yelper:
"This park has turned into a dump. I walk my dog here everyday and have watched it deteriorate rapidly over the last year. I've found used needles in the grass, heard a junkie tell a tourist not to use the public toilet because they'll get Hep-C, and watched the playgrounds turn into homeless encampments. I really don't understand why the city has turned such a blind eye to the problems here."
long-suffering playground [IRL, it's an extremely popular playground. Its current Yelp rating is 4.5 stars, which is the very definition of almost perfect, right? And hey look, what about the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Yelp rating – it's much lower, it's actually just 2.5 stars, right? Is RPD "failing?" Should we simply fire everybody and start over? Hey, why don't we start using objective measurements, like asking the playground's existing customers what they think? Is that too radical a notion?]
finally [This "framing" assumes 100% of what the millionaire-run Parks Alliance nonprofit says is accurate]
Victim to time [Well sure, you could replace this or that at this location, but what's so wrong with it? What makes it a useless tear-down?]
frequent wear and tear [Because it's popular? We're going to change it because it's popular and it gets used?]
grown-up play [Turns out it was sixth-graders who busted the slide, per the word on the street]
the playground pales in comparison to other high-tech kids' play areas in the city. [What on Earth could make a playground "high tech?" Like, "sure this playground is great, but I feel it doesn't employ the most recent application of science?" Like, who says that? IRL, it's perfectly fine.]
"failing playgrounds" [But the Panhandle Playground isn't "failing," right? Ask all the people who use it and try to find one person who would give it a letter grade of "F"]
"low household income" [Is this area a low household income area? WTF to that. In fact, the 94117 is an extremely high household income place, right? It's off the charts, actually, nationally speaking. And even locally, it's anything but a low household income area.]
low Parks Alliance Report Card grades and rankings. [Oh, here we go, here's the problem. What's the PARC and why does it matter?]
"an early holiday gift to District 5." [London Breed is thinking "CHRISTMAS" but she says holidays – good for her. But who's paying for this gift? Oh, we are? So it's not really a gift, is it, London Claus?]
high-tech play matting [I have no fucking idea what this means. Currently, the joint is basically a giant sand box. Is this a bad thing? One supposes that some think so, but one doesn't know.]
What would you like to see improved upon in our small neighborhood playground? [Keeping it the same, except for maintenance, which, if it's lacking, then whose fault is that? Cough RPD, cough]
Wouldn't it be ironic, dontcha think, if the Yelp ratings of the Panhandle Playground go down after we spend all those millions of dollars on this simple, functional playground?
We'll see.
Per this bit on SocketSite, SFGov thinks it has 50 "failing" playgrounds. Does that means that all of them get an "F" grade, that they're all basically worthless?
For instance, let's take a look at the Panhandle Playground. It has 4.5 Yelp stars. Isn't that a pretty high rating for a "failing" anything?
If you polled people who actually use the place, the grade you'd come up with is "A," or possibly "A-," something in that area.
I think what SFGov / RPD / all those people with clipboards from that big non-profit what's run by the wealthy, white and wizened actually mean is that the Panhandle Playground isn't brand-new. What they mean is that it hasn't kept up with the latest trends in playgroundom the past decade or so due to the fact that it hasn't been replaced the past decade.
In other words, what they're saying is that the Panhandle Playground isn't "world-class."
Oh, what's that, Parks Alliance, there were more than 2.5 pieces of litter per square meter or whatever on the day that you dropped by with your clipboards? OK, so don't you mean that the RPD is failing then?
Oh, what's that, Parks Alliance, you're concerned about the health effects of "x." You know, I don't think you want to go there, Parks Alliance. Cause then you'd have to look at the other stuff RPD is doing lately, like, say, the Beach Chalet soccer fields. Now I'll tell you, I'm 90%+ sure that all the things people are worried about with the new artificial turf aren't going to turn out to be a problem, but that's not an absolutely assurance. You could say the same for whatever it is that makes you say that four dozen playgrounds in SF are "failing."
You know, I could take my clipboard and go up to somebody's 2004 Honda Accord with low miles and I could say, "Oh, no sat nav – minus five points. And oh, dirty windshield – minus three points. And oh…" And then I could put the car on my list of "failing" commuter vehicles, even though the person who drives it every day M-F thinks it's a great ride and even though it passes its smog test every year or two and even though it starts up every time without fail. Who, oh who will appoint me chairman of the "Failing Hondas Task Force?"
(Oh hey, you know what RPD is disappointed about? It's bummed out that the Maude Flanderses and the Reverend Lovejoy's Wifes of the 94117 haven't formed something like the Friends of the Panhandle Playground to raise $800k or so to give to RPD, you know, the way things worked with Presidio Heights and Mountain Lake. Oh well. Sorry RPD.)
In any event, a big bag of money fell from the sky and SFGov is going to spend it the way it wants. IMO, SFGov spends too much time focusing on the aesthetic concerns of millionaires who appoint themselves to the boards of the non-profits they create.
So, go for it, send a reporter over to the Panhandle to check things out, to see why SFGov wants to spend months and months tearing out a perfectly good playground, to see why SFGov wants to scrap a Honda Accord with low miles, and a dirty windshield…
Free Kool-Aid, after the jump, drink up, it's free, well, not really, but you're going to end up paying for it anyway, so might as well.
It took me a while to figure this one out. OK, here's the Children's Quarter, aka the Koret something-or-other, in Golden Gate Park:
See? It's a Jeep SUV, complete with a steering wheel, horn button, headlights, trademark grill and a three-on-the-tree gear shift. You could actually use this thing to begin to teach somebody how to drive.
Oh, how I weep! You see, instead, this should be a bicycle simulator, complete with handlebars and Shimano Alivio shifters, right man?
I hope nobody from Park Slope ever sees this, man…
Well the slides at the Panhandle Playground have been replaced after three months of absence.
1. Perhaps the RPD spokesmodel meant that the entire slide complex was being repaired, as opposed to the $2000 plastic slide itself. I don't think it would have made sense to repair the slide itself, due to liability issues for starters. This is a brand-new slide, one that's similar enough to the original.
2. So some wealthy, non-profit people came by with clipboards to say that this particular playground currently earns a "D" grade? Well, OK fine, but if you talk to the people who actually use the place, they, more or less, give it an "A" grade, you know, except for the slide that wasn't there all summer long. Mmmmm… What's up with that?
3. Supervisor London Breed's office was unresponsive to the email contact sent by a group of concerned parents, apparently. So she gets an "F," or an Incomplete perhaps. (I've worked at two similar offices, with about ten or one hundred times as many constituents, and if the elected in charge found out about something like this then there'd be a 20-minute yell-fest and/or a passive aggressive note sent to a (lower-case "s") supervisor to "fix this.") So, obvs, a "communication issue" occurred, I just don't know how common this is with her office.
4. RPD has a policy to not repair anything in a playground if it's due to be revamped in the next two years? That's my understanding. Does that mean that this playground won't get revamped anytime soon? That's my understanding. Why's that? Read on, Gentle Reader.
5. What RPD really wants is area parents to get together to raise something on the order of [bites right pinkie finger] one million dollars, you know, the way they do things in rich areas of SF, like Sea Cliff (ala the new Mountain Lake) and Presidio Heights. Only then will RPD put your playground at the top of the fix-it list? OK fine. The funny thing is that most of the money that gets used to refurbish existing playgrounds is paid for by the non-rich, from some bond. But all this doesn't matter for the playground at hand, because:
6. The slide vandalized in May 2014 has been replaced in September 2014 and the users are now satisfied. No $5,000,000 modernization from the RPD is needed, frankly. [Oh what's that, RPD – this old-school playground costs you a lot of coin to maintain? Well, then why don't you fix it up, RPD, you know, using the money we give you?]
And that's the end of this story.
Here's is all I know about the giant sundial:
"This sundial is located in Hilltop Park in the Bayview District of San Francisco. The steel gnomon is 78 feet long."
Click to expand
Big, isn't it?
Amy Stephenson of Hoodline (fka uppercasing) has the deets on the The Case Of The Missing Panhandle Slides
Now here's how the purple slides looked back in happier times, before The Attack of May 2014:
But then, sometime at the end of May, I'm guessing May 30th or May 31st, you know, the weekend, some vandal(s) (I'm guessing "young punks" or "hippies") put a giant hole in the leftmost slide. Ouch!
So, first it was all like this…
…and then it was all like this – an even bigger hole:
But then on the following Monday (June 2nd), somebody from SFGov (DPW? RPD? SFPD?) came along and added some red DANGER tape:
And then soon after that, up went the plywood and then somebody came along and did a more permanent fix and so that's how things look today, near the end of June.
Now I'm just assuming that the hole was the result of vandalism, but I don't figure how else it could have happened.
(Can I blame SFGov for the hole? Nope. Not at all.)
(Can I find fault with how SFGov was/is handling the issue? Nope. Not at all.)
IMO, fixing these slides proper would be a big job, so simply getting another big old piece of plastic might be the best course of action. And that might take a while. I'm figuring a resolution by the end of July is reasonable – sorry kids.
In mitigation, the playground still has one working slide.
In the meantime, WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

Picture: David Beckham practicing with his team LA Galaxies after press conference at RFK Stadium Washington,DC - 08.08.07
Soccer star David Beckham received a birthday surprise from his wife Victoria Beckham yesterday (02MAY07) - a GBP20,000 ($40,000) shopping spree.
The Los Angeles bound soccer player turned 32 yesterday, and former Spice Girl Victoria made sure his birthday went off with a bang by whisking him from Spain on a private jet and taking him on a surprise tour of London's trendy Savile Row.
She treated him to a GBP14,000 ($28,000) watch, a GBP4,500 ($9,000) suit, GBP1,900 ($3,800) for hand made shoes and nearly GBP400 ($800) in shirts.
A pal of David, who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid, says, "She got permission from Real Madrid but David had no idea what for. He was touched and loved every minute of it."

BUENA — About 2,500 Buena Regional students started school Monday, a little later in the year than usual to accommodate a familiar newcomer to the district.
The few extra days gave the staff, who reported back to school last week, some extra time to adjust to a class restructuring resulting from Cleary Middle School coming back online to serve the districts fourth- and fifth-graders.
The historic school, which was closed in December 2009, was given a makeover totaling just about $7 million. Also contributing to the reshuffle was the district decision to no longer use William Donini Elementary and Edgarton schools.
Cleary now stands as a hybrid of original and new construction.
School Principal Shelly Ward Richards noted one teacher aptly described the schools state.
What was once old is new again, Richards said.
Just before the doors opened at 9 a.m., Richards reviewed school entrance procedures and assigned staffers to monitor doors to ensure the safety of the 295 students.
The community seems curious about Clearys renovations, Richards said, noting attendance at a recent open house was not limited to students and their parents.
There were grandparents and aunts and uncles, she said.
Amelie Soto, who couldnt wait to start fourth grade, displayed her school spirit down to her toes painted a Buena blue.
Arriving before the school doors opened, she funneled her nervous energy fidgeting with her lunchbox while she waited with her mom, Jodie Soto. She was eager to get going with the best part of the first day of school.
Meeting new people, Amelie said with a wide smile.
Having attended an open house, Amelie knew there were some changes awaiting her inside.
The school, she said, is just two grades and the cafeteria is smaller than the one at Milanesi where she ate lunch last year.
Those who havent seen the newly remodeled school are invited to come to a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Sept. 22, Richards said. They can see the new library and cafeteria, she said, adding there are new art, music and computer rooms.
And theres air conditioning, Richards said.
Lexi Frank, a fourth-grader, walked along Central Avenue joined by her parents, Gina and Walter Frank and her little sister, Alli, a first-grader headed for Milanesi.
Just about each step was documented by the fluttering shutter on Gina Franks camera.
Even the Buena Borough Police officer waving them across a freshly painted crosswalk earned a spot in the family album.
Shes my baby girl, said Lexis mom, shooting another picture of her eldest daughter standing alongside the Cleary sign.
Lexi said she was excited about the new school year and was feeling tingly inside. In the school lobby, Lexi pushed the glass doors to head off on her own.
But there still was time for one more thing. It wasnt another photo but a swift hug and good luck kiss from mom.
Lexi wasnt the only one moving on.
Julio Rodriguez Jr. was leaving kindergarten behind searching for his new classroom along a corridor at Milanesi Elementary School. At first, he walked right past his room but his attentive mom, Robin Rodriguez, called him back.
Carrying his coordinated camouflage lunch box and backpack, Julio hesitated a second before his mom gave him a gentle nudge.
Earlier in the morning, she said, Julio was ready to the go.
But hes disappointed the bus never showed, she said.
Rodriguez soon distracted her son, helping him unpack his crayons and focusing him on school work before stealthily slipping out. She headed to the office to try to resolve the transportation issue, so Julio might happily ride the bus for his second day of school.
Buena Regional High School welcomed 820 students. There also are nine new teachers and two teachers filling in for maternity leaves, said assistant principal Danielle Sneathen.
Students found a new bell schedule that shaves 10 minutes from the 40-minute lunch and adds two minutes to each class during the day, said Principal Moses White. That might not sound like much but, he said, it adds up over the school year.
Students also were taking some new courses, including forensics, nutrition and even a digital music class, Sneathen said.
In the band room, under James Commanders direction, the school year started off with a drum roll from senior Mitch Cossaboon.
The Buena Chiefs quarterback Eric Rainear noted the later school start didnt hamper the football team. No classes permitted the team to focus on their season opener against Vineland High School Friday night at Gittone Stadium.
Rainear, who had 139 total offense yards, accepted his classmates congratulations for the 20-6 win.
In the cafeteria, students were more interested in claiming their tables with friends than buying food. Sneathen said its that way every first day of school.
Samiere Myers, 17, said it didnt feel like her senior year, yet. But he predicted when feeling would hit him.
Graduation, Myers said.

Check out Geodesic! at Lightning in a Bottle!
Geodesic! at Lightning in a Bottle 2013 from James Hurwitz on Vimeo.
The Vision
My goal is to create transformational experiences. Through immersive interactive environments, I aim to empower the participant by shifting their consciousness, presenting an opportunity for personal reflection, revelation, and transformation.
Geodesic! invites you to interact, reflect, and transform while being bathed by light, sound and even smell. It's sheer skin comes to life with fractal geometry while LEDs glow with a spectrum of color. Ultrasonic sensors on the inside of the dome will allow you to interact with and shape the experience.
Art is multidimensional, it is about every experience and interaction that happens because of it, and the connections and communities that are made around it. By challenging our boundaries, combining ideas, and encouraging interactions, a new world is created around us.
With your help, Geodesic! will be co-creating at Burning Man in August.
Together, we Co-Create our Reality.
What is it?
Geodesic! is a 16ft 3V self-built metal conduit geodesic dome covered with a translucent sheer fabric so it can be experienced form both inside and out.
4ft Giza proportion pyramids house 3 2200 lumen projectors that envelop Geodesic! with fractal geometry and immersive animations.
Addressable RGB LEDs at each vertex of the dome are controlled by an Arduino which interfaces with a MacBook Pro. LEDs, Projections, and mist, can be controlled via midi by Ableton Live, Resolume Avenue, and Ultrasonic Sensors.
Two speakers provide ambient soundscapes and effects which further propel the participant into metaphysical bliss.
Read more about Geodesic! at BlueRoar.com
Lucidity: The Totems' Return
At its festival debut, Geodesic! provided a participatory container to interact, reflect, and transform into a state of lucidity.
Geodesic! at Lucidity The Totems' Return 2013 from James Hurwitz on Vimeo.
Situated in the I AM HEALING Sanctuary, Geodesic! created a sacred space which transformed itself as well as it's occupants.
By the end of the night, as people returned from the dance floor, the dome was packed. Lucinda Loves lead a group sound healing incorporating her crystal bowls and tuning forks with the projections and soundscapes. We activated and rejuvenated with light, sound, cacao, incense, essential oils, and much needed massage after a days worth of ecstatic dancing, transforming Geodesic! into a multisensory healing experience!
Geodesic! needs you!
So far Geodesic! has been entirely self-funded. This includes the 16ft 3V dome, 3 projectors, sheer cover, LEDs, speaker system, foam tiles, electronics, and materials.
Geodesic! needs your help to get through the final stages.
The Giza pyramid enclosures are still being built and need to be fitted with access panels and adequate ventilation.
Transporting and providing electricity for Geodesic! is the largest forth coming expense.
Purchasing a generator is much more economical than renting one for multiple weeks sporadically throughout the years. With it's own generator, Geodesic! and it's future projects will be entirely energy sufficient.
By donating towards a generator, it will be much more affordable for Geodesic! to come to a music and arts festival near you!
Your donations will help to create an experience that will be cherished by many.
The Goal
In order to travel to Burning man, Geodesic! needs at least $2400
$800 to purchase a used Honda EU2000i generator
$125 for generator gasoline
$500 for trailer rental
$500 for workshop rental (Pyramids)
$250 for remaining materials (Plywood, 2x2s, misc. construction)
The Extra Mile
Geodesic! could use some maintenance. The hand made sheer cover has become worn and stained.
$600 would allow me to have a new more durable and form fitting cover professionally made to last for many more seasons and installations!
$100 would allow me to order new LEDs.
The current LEDs were custom ordered but were spray painted black after the fact, consequently the black paint has been rubbing off in the heat and staining the white cover.
$500 Geodesic! will be able to go to Symbiosis!
If the goal is not met, funds will be used to fulfill perks and rent equipment rather than purchase it. When the goal is exceeded, Geodesic! will be able to travel to even more festivals and gatherings!
One of a kind Perks!
I am very excited to offer you lovingly handmade, one of a kind items in exchange for your donations!
$5 Love and gratitude
Undying love and gratitude for being a part of Geodesic!
$10 Geodesic! Sticker
A beautiful color-shifting iridescent sticker that will remind you that you are shining light that made Geodesic! possible. Your water bottle will thank you too.
If the goal is met you will also receive a Geodesic! decal.
$15 Heart Diffraction Glasses
A pair of Custom Heart Diffraction Glasses to call your own! There will be ones to share inside Geodesic!, transforming light into hearts to remind you that you are LOVE.
$20 Iridescent Bracelet
A hand made one of a kind Iridescent Bracelet, to shine your light wherever you go.
$25 Geodesic! essential oil room and body spray 4oz.
A large, hand blended, 4oz. bottle of the essential oil spray used in the mist inside Geodesic!, so that you may enliven senses wherever you go. (Lavendar, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Palo Santo)
$40 Geodesic! 3D printed pendant
A 3D printed metal Geodesic! pendant, so that you may remember your intricate and beautiful nature.
(design subject to change)

Iridescent Bracelet, Geodesic! spray, and a sticker!
$75 Double the Love
Two pendants, for you and a friend!
$100 Miniature Geodesic!
A 3D printed model of Geodesic! Keep it on your desk, in your car, or on your head.
$125 Sound reactive ORB
Transform spaces with a self-contained 3 mode, sound reactive ORB lamp.
This ORB is made of glass and will react to music with a powerful LED array controlled by an Arduino and a microphone.
Mode 1 Continuous Rainbow Fade
Mode 2 Color of Sound Reactive
Mode 3 Rainbow Fade Reactive
(shipping not included, video is of the prototype)
$185 Sound reactive Geodesic!
Have a miniature sound reactive Geodesic! Same as the ORB, but with a 3D printed Geodesic! instead of glass.
$280 Geodesic! Ultimate
A little of everything. Undying Gratitude, Stickers, Heart Diffraction Glasses, Iridescent Bracelet, Geodesic! Spray, Geodesic! Pendant, Sound Reactive Geodesic!
$600 Geodesic! will come to your event
Maybe it's your birthday, or your music and arts festival, or both! Geodesic! will be there!
(Transportation out of California not included.)
$800 Name the Generator!Your donation goes directly towards purchase of a generator, and you get to pick the name! Name it after yourself, or whatever you'd like! You will also receive a Sound reactive Geodesic!
$2000 your own 3v Geodesic dome
I will build you the frame of a dome the same size as Geodesic!
(shipping not included)
Other Ways You Can Help

A review of Kliph Nesteroff's book "The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the History of American Comedy."
The idea here was to do for teaching what "MASH" did for the war. Unfortunately, they've done for schools what "General Hospital" did for medicine. "Teachers" has an interesting central idea, about shell-shocked teachers trying to remember their early idealism, but the movie junks it up with so many sitcom compromises that we can never quite believe the serious scenes.
The movie begins with a big-city high school where kids get stabbed, students double as drug dealers and police informers, teachers sleep through their classes, and the system is being sued for graduating students who cannot read or write. The bewildered principal is so totally out of touch with all of these developments that his only response is a pleasant nod. We meet the frontline troops. The movie stars Nick Nolte as a one-time visionary who lately has been having trouble finding his way out of hangovers. Judd Hirsch is the overwhelmed assistant principal. Royal Dano is a teacher named Ditto, who specializes in mimeographed examinations every day, so he won't have to talk to his students (he slumbers in the back of the class). There also are the usual student rebels, including Ralph Macchio ("The Karate Kid," 1984) as a bright, alienated con man who knows everybody's weak spot.
The movie revolves around a couple of questions: Will the school lose the lawsuit? Will Nolte tell the truth in a pretrial deposition, or lie to protect the school system? Will he help a sobbing young girl get an abortion, after she has been seduced by the gym teacher? Will the hard-nosed school superintendent (Lee Grant) have Nolte fired? And, inevitably, will Nolte fall in love with the pretty young lawyer (Jobeth Williams) who used to be one of his best students?
One at a time, these questions might be worthy of answers. But "Teachers" throws them at us so relentlessly that the movie begins to feel like one of those soap operas where yesterday's old questions are answered by today's new questions. The movie has a couple of good scenes between Nolte and Macchio, and a few lines that have the zing of painful truth. But there are also scenes played entirely for cheap laughs. And a promising running gag about Ditto never pays off. I don't want to give away the punch line, but see if you're not puzzled by the way a potentially classic gag doesn't quite work. Here's the sad bottom line: "Teachers" was just interesting enough to convince me a great movie can be made about big-city high schools. This isn't it.

Police say 23-year-old Alex Spanos of Rutland drove a white Camry into Ron Ferro's car that then struck Carly.
