Environmentalists, anglers say Battle Creek fish runs hurt by logging
Clear-cutting halt sought at Battle Creek
Clear-cut logging in a watershed southeast of Redding could be undermining a $128 million effort to restore Battle Creek for salmon and steelhead runs, say environmentalists and fishermen who are calling on the governor to stop the saws.
A coalition of environmental groups, joined by a commercial fishing group, sent a letter in late June asking Gov. Jerry Brown to temporarily halt clear-cutting in the Battle Creek watershed and order a study of how erosion could be sullying water upstream of the state and federal restoration project. The coalition wants the state to implement stricter rules on logging, leading to more monitoring of water quality near clear-cutting.
The coalition is waiting for a response from the governor's office, which forwarded the letter to Secretary John Laird, head of the state Natural Resources Agency. The agency sets policy for state departments that handle natural resources.
"We are studying the issue," said Richard Stapler, spokesman for Laird said. "... We'll have more to say in the next couple of weeks."
While they wait to hear from the governor, the critics of logging in the Battle Creek watershed have collected thousands of signatures on a petition and leading an email campaign.
Used to criticism and legal challenges about its clear-cut practices, Sierra Pacific Industries, the Anderson-based timber giant behind most of the logging in the 236,000-acre watershed, contends that its logging is meeting state regulations and isn't deteriorating water quality in Battle Creek.
"There is no actual sediment getting into the creek," said Ed Murphy, a registered forester at Sierra Pacific, the largest private landowner in the state.
What's in the water
The two sides come armed with science to support their claims.
Marily Woodhouse, co-founder of the Battle Creek Alliance, said she's been taking water samples from 12 spots along the creek and its tributaries over the past year and a half.
She said the water is showing up cloudy near the Sierra Pacific logging operations.
"Where it has been cut recently the readings are the highest," she said.
She argues that the cloudy water could be harmful to fish downstream, where the federal and state agencies are teaming up to restore the creek. Started last July, the Bureau of Reclamation-led project involves the removal of five small hydroelectric dams operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
Murphy said Sierra Pacific data show a far different situation than what Woodhouse says she's seeing.
"There is no actual sediment getting into the creek," he said.
He said the company has had monitoring devices in the creek since 1999 that check its water 24 hours a day.
"We have found nothing to indicate there are any of these problems," Murphy said.
The state steps in
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the same department best known for fighting fires on wildland close to communities, is the lead agency in the state's monitoring of water at timber harvests. Along with firefighters, the department has foresters who review logging plans and inspecting the cuts to ensure those plans are followed.
Over the past decade there have been 111 inspections of 16 Sierra Pacific logging operations in the Battle Creek Watershed, said Mike Bacca, forest practice manager with Cal Fire in Redding. Under those plans Sierra Pacific has clear-cut 7,313 acres and is set to cut close to an additional 4,000 acres.
"The company is complying with the rules," Bacca said. "There are very few violations noted out there."
The eight violations over the past decade were by logging companies on contract with Sierra Pacific and were mostly for improperly maintained roads causing runoff into the creek, he said.
Bacca said officials with the state Department of Fish and Game, as well as the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, also participated in all but two or three of the inspections.
Murphy said Sierra Pacific prides itself on passing the state's inspections. Woodhouse said the state needs to increase the number and scope of the inspections, and she said an agency other than Cal Fire should be the lead because the department is too friendly to timber companies.
"Basically Cal Fire is operating with no police over them," Woodhouse said.
She didn't have a specific suggestion as to what agency should replace Cal Fire.
About the budget
Like many ongoing debates in the state, the argument over Battle Creek boils down to the state budget.
The state Department of Fish and Game also inspects logging operations, checking water quality, said Curt Babcock, a DFG environmental program manager in Redding, but state budget cuts have shrunk the number of scientists and how often they inspect.
In his last budget, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cut $1.5 million from the DFG's logging monitoring program, Babcock said. The cut, which dropped the program's budget from $2.4 million to $900,000, reduced the number of DFG scientists inspecting timber harvests from 15 to seven.
"It has cut down our ability to go out and recommend improvements," Babcock said.
Gov. Brown signed a budget Thursday that maintained the funding levels set in Schwarzenegger's budget, said H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the state Department of Finance.
Waiting on the governor
While Woodhouse said she'd like to see money returned for more state Department of Fish and Game inspections, she said there also needs to be a change in how the inspections are performed. She said there needs to be a broader look at whole watersheds, like Battle Creek's.
Murphy said the current system is working and the monitoring takes into account logging throughout the watershed. He said Battle Creek is an example of the state's monitoring program working.
"There is no problem," Murphy said. "... It is wonderful salmon habitat, which is why the federal and state governments are spending millions of dollars there."
The debate continues while Woodhouse and Murphy wait to see whether Gov. Brown's office will weigh in on Battle Creek.

A fleet of 79 classic racing dinghies from as far afield as Ireland and Lancashire descended on Bosham Sailing Club over the weekend of 22nd-23rd Sept. to contest the second annual Bosham Classic Boat Revival.
Wall to wall classic racing dinghies at the 2012 Bosham Classic Boat Revival - Bosham Classic Boat Revival
With 10 classic Merlin Rockets – wide and skinny varieties - heading the entry list of International 14's, Fireflies, Classic National 18's, Chichester Harbour 18's, Jollyboats, Yachting World Dayboat's, Tideway's, Fairy Falcons, Sharpies and Wayfarers competing against the likes of an International Moth, Kestrels, Solo, Wayfarers, Torbay Minnow, even a 'banned' National 18 which was exceptionally fast, plus dozens of other similar classic craft, the Bosham Classic Boat Revival is gathering considerable momentum.
Event organiser Andrew Young commented 'We certainly seem to have touched a nerve with this exciting event, with a huge increase on last year's entry list and, I am delighted to say, way ahead of our expectations. We were hoping that we might hit 60 boats this year, but were bowled over when 79 turned up! We started the event last year because we believed that there were thousands of classic racing dinghies – built during the 50's, 60's and 70's - languishing in dinghy parks around the country and these should be out racing. I think we might have been proved right!'
Tight racing at the 2012 Bosham Classic Boat Revival
'It is clear that this is fast becoming a national event, not just one that attracts local sailors. The standard of racing is very high with at least two competitors featuring in the silverware at National Championships this year. We are now all wondering how we can top this in 2013! '
The programme called for a five race series across the weekend with three sailed back-to-back on Saturday.
The wind strength was a perfect 8-12 knots whilst the easterly direction and low tide state provided a number of challenges for Principal Race Officer Nick Fox and his experienced team.
Whilst not quite allowing the picturesque Chichester harbour to be enjoyed to the full, the excellent courses certainly provided some very tight racing for the 79 competitors.
Running adjacent, separate, starting and finishing lines in order the accommodate nine races across three divisions was a tall order, but Nick Fox and his team ran a faultless series of races for the competitors who arrived from 30 clubs from as far afield as Brixham, Blackpool, Lymington, Hamble, Christchurch, Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Merseyside, together with several famous clubs on the Thames and even from Ireland.
Close racing at the 2012 Bosham Classic Boat Revival
Sunday dawned with truly foul but predicted conditions, strong winds and driving rain. This time less than 20 competitors braved the elements, driven largely by the need for some of the keener competitors to put points on the scoreboard. With no discards coming in to play, it was essential to get out and race if one wanted to take home one of the prizes.
The local contingent was represented by competitors from Itchenor SC, Thorney Island SC, Dell Quay SC and Langstone SC with host club members doing particularly well winning two classes and featuring heavily in the prizes.
Shoreside one of the focal points of this unique event is always the hotly contested Concours de'Elegance competiton, where beautifully restored wooden classic racing dinghies are proudly displayed on Quay Meadow for all to admire. Judges Peter Lacey and Tim Gilmore, both local boat builders, had a tough time splitting the top contenders, but unanimously agreed the top prize be awarded to Simon Meacock from Weston Sailing Club with his immaculate International 14, Ripping Yarns built in 1964.

Day Trips:, Lisbon
96 Reviews
96 Reviews
Get there by train from Ross station, quite frequent and about 30 minutes. In Sintra you have 2 circuit bus lines taking you to all the major sights, bus 434 (€ 5) to Pena park with Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) and, Moorish Castle and Convento dos Capuchos, bus 435 (€ 2,50) to Quinta da Regaleira (Regaleira Palace and Gardens) and Monserrate.
Quinta da Regaleira is a amacing place with a wonderful garden...
Someone asked me advice for a nine days visit to Lisbon in winter, and I think that it will be useful to post it here.
Nine days in Lisbon, in winter, may be two much (three or four will do), but you may travel around (a car will be the best way):
Reserve at least one day to Sintra, Ericeira (Seafood lunch), Mafra, Cascais and Estoril.
Do a full day trip to Batalha, Alcobaça, Nazaré (sardines for lunch), and Obidos (if you missed it you may stop in Mafra in your return).
Another full day to Évora and Monsaraz (beautiful and with a "presepio (Nativity scene in full size paper figures)" in the streets).
The mentioned suggestions are "must see" - they are wonderful all year around, and most of them not too compromised by eventual bad weather.
With time, you may also travel one day to Ribatejo - Tomar is great, and Santarém also interesting, and/or another day to Sesimbra and Arrábida (this in a clear dry day)
Thousands of Portuguese head south to Algarve in New year's eve. If you want action that's the place, two hours driving from Lisbon.
The Palace of Pena stands atop a rocky peak, which is the second highest point in the Sintra hills (the only place higher than the palace itself is the Cruz Alta, 528 metres above sea level). The palace is situated in the eastern part of the Park of Pena, which one has to pass through to reach the steep ramp built by the Baron of Eschwege that provides access to the castle-like building. The palace itself is composed of two wings: the former Manueline monastery of the Order of St. Jerome and the wing built in the 19th century by King Ferdinand II. These wings are ringed by a third architectural structure that is a fantasised version of an imaginary castle, whose walls one can walk around and which comprises battlements, watchtowers, an entrance tunnel and even a drawbridge.
In 1838, King Ferdinand II acquired the former Hieronymite monastery of Our Lady of Pena, which had been built by King Manuel I in 1511 on the top of the hill above Sintra and had been left unoccupied since 1834 when the religious orders were suppressed in Portugal. The monastery consisted of the cloister and its outbuildings, the chapel, the sacristy and the bell tower, which today form the northern section of the Palace of Pena, or the Old Palace as it is known.
King Ferdinand began by making repairs to the former monastery, which, according to the historical sources of that time, was in very bad condition. He refurbished the whole of the upper floor, replacing the fourteen cells used by the monks with larger-sized rooms and covering them with the vaulted ceilings that can still be seen today. In roughly 1843, the king decided to enlarge the palace by building a new wing (the New Palace) with even larger rooms (the Great Hall is a good example of this), ending in a circular tower next to the new kitchens. The building work was directed by the Baron of Eschwege.
The 1994 repair works restored the original colours of the Palace's exterior: pink for the former monastery and ochre for the New Palace.
In transforming a former monastery into a castle-like residence, King Ferdinand showed that he was heavily influenced by German romanticism, and that he probably found his inspiration in the Stolzenfels and Rheinstein castles on the banks of the Rhine, as well as Babelsberg Palace in Potsdam. These building works at the Palace of Pena ended in the mid-1860s, although further work was also undertaken at later dates for the decoration of the interiors.
King Ferdinand also ordered the Park of Pena to be planted in the Palace's surrounding areas in the style of the romantic gardens of that time, with winding paths, pavilions and stone benches placed at different points along its routes, as well as trees and other plants originating from the four corners of the earth. In this way, the king took advantage of the mild and damp climate of the Sintra hills to create an entirely new and exotic park with over five hundred different species of trees.
The most fascinating construction in the Park of Pena is the Chalet of the Countess of Edla, also known as the House of Indulgence (Casa do Regalo), which is located at the park's western end. Its building was commissioned by King Ferdinand II and his future second wife, Elise Hensler (the Countess of Edla), as a private summer residence. It is a two-storey building with a very scenic appearance, denoting a distinctive alpine inspiration and maintaining an expressive visual relationship with the Palace.
The Palace of Pena was designated a National Monument in 1910 and forms part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, which has been classified by UNESCO as World Heritage since 1995.
In 2013, the Palace was integrated into the Network of European Royal Residences.
Admission with the combined Moorish Castle was 13.50 Euro's and once past the main gate 2 euro for a tram that will take you to the top of the hill where the Palace is located. You can buy the tram tickets at the gift shop on the right hand side as you enter thru the gates.
The Castle of the Moors is a hilltop medieval castle located in the central Portuguese civil parish of Santa Maria e São Miguel, in the municipality of Sintra. Taken by Christian forces from the Moors after the fall of Lisbon, it was an important strategic point during the Reconquista, and classified as a National Monument, part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
a combined ticket for the Castle of the Moors and the Pena Palace is 13.50 Euro you save 3 euro's if you buy the combined ticket.
Once at the castle of the Moors be ready to hike … to get the best views you must climb tons of steps but the views are breathtaking …..
Spent about 1 1/2 here and it was well worth it.
Sintra is a town within the municipality of Sinatra in the Grande Lisboa subregion (Lisbon Region) of Portugal about 45 minutes in train. Owing to its 19th-century Romantic architecture and landscapes, it has become a major tourist centre, visited by many day-trippers who travel from the urbanized suburbs and capital of Lisbon.
In addition to the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town of Sintra are dotted by royal retreats, estates, castles and buildings from the 8th-9th century, in addition to many buildings completed between the 15th and 19th century, including the Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena National Palace and the Sintra National Palace, resulting in its classification by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1995.
The train from Lisbon Rossio train station takes about 45 minutes and cost 4 Euro each way. Machines with English buttons make it easy to but tickets.
Ride sunset, wonderful fantastic day that ended with the birth of one of the largest moons in recent years, which made the ride even better. Boat in excellent condition with all that is necessary. Staff very helpful and professional, without neglecting any detail of security, but doing all that at the end we wish to go back soon.
Strongly advise.
The Marina at Cascais (30 km from Lisbon) can hold about 650 vessels, and has been an important location for the world of sailing. It has hosted several international sailing competitions. And because of this, it has a very cosmopolitan feel.
My sister and I were able to visit this beautiful marina through our bus tour, but we wish we could have spent more time there. All we were able to accomplish was take pictures at the Marina by this huge ANCHOR that was a focal photo-op point for many tourists. I wish we could have spent more time there and walk by the water and sample the restaurants around.
This place was a favorite of King D. Carlos I, the last "King of Portugal" and the last in a long royal lineage who chose Cascais as his summer residence. He was a devoted oceanographer and widely respected for his maritime studies, being the founder of one of the most important oceanographic laboratories in the world. In 1896, he installed in the citadel the first oceanographic laboratory in Portugal and he had a total of 12 scientific expeditions before he was tragically assassinated in 1908.
But his legacy lives on, and by visiting the Cascais Marina we continue his vision of having a cosmopolitan coastal city devoted to the art and science of sailing and oceanography.
In September 2009, we decided to take advantage of the many bus tours available for trips to Fatima for only 59 Euros (with guide).
Fatima is about 76 miles (123km) from Lisbon and can also be reached by bus from the central bus station in Sete-Rios (Praça Marechal Humberto Delgado, Rua das Laranjeiras). The bus rade takes about one hour and a half, and they leave every hour from 8AM onwards until the night (8PM probably).
Founded in 1568, Fatima is best known for the three children (Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta) who witnessed in 1917 the apparition of a lady-in-white who was later on referred to as "Our Lady of the Rosary". The children said she was sent by God "with a message of prayer, repentance and consecrations" and she visited them on the 13th from May 13 - October 13, 1917.
In our tour, we were brought to the village where the three children lived and we also saw the abode where their "famous" picture was taken. This location is less than a mile from Fátima - "Aljustrel", a small hamlet where the three shepherd children were born.
The Fatima Sanctuary is a must not only for the religious because it is at Fatima where you see the strong relationship between the country of Portugal and Faith/Religion. People from all over the world visit Fatima and the sanctuary is a great place to visit. It is a huge expanse of space where spiritual masses are held, and we were lucky to even attend a 20-minute mass (recited in Portuguese). There are also fountains from which "holy water" can be obtained, so my sister filled up her water bottle. Just beware to mark the bottle because I almost drank the bottle souvenir by mistake! Haha...
Our tour did not bring us to the exact location where the apparition appeared to the 3 children, but this location is to the west of Fatima, near Aljustre in a place called Loca do Cabeço.
Fatima Sanctuary's busy months are fropm May to October (months when our Lady appeared), and you can also see small pilgrimages on the 12-13th of every month.
Our bus tour in 2009 to Sintra (60 Euros) also included the Cabo da Roca and I am so glad we took it because I love lighthouses! The "red lighthouse" is very photogenic, not to mention the terribly high-drop cliffs just beside it.
Cabo da Roca is also considered the most westernmost point of continental Europe! It is within the municipality of Sintra, and is a favorite among tourists. And if you are into certificates, you can go to the tourist office and get a huge certificate confirming you're having reached this "most westernmost landmark of Europe".
There's several nice spots to take pictures (specially jumping ones, haha), but just behind the gift shop building in Cabo da Roca (go to the toilet which is at the dinner area and exit there), you will find amazing views of the cliff. Of course, you have to walk a bit on the wild plants but it wasn't too bad – just watch out for dog poo. I did not see any snakes -and that's a good thing, haha.
On reading about Cabo da Roca on Wikipedia, I learned that it has been well known even during the Roman times as "Promontorium Magnum" and during the Age of Sail as the Rock of Lisbon. It was also described by the 16th century Portuguese poet Luís de Camões as the place "where the land ends and the sea begins" - and looking at the rocky cliffs, you will understand why. Stunning views and truly worth the visit :)
Sintra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995 and it has been described by Lord Byron as "this glorious Eden". And so my sister and I who were travelling in 2009 in Portugal did not let this place escape us! We got a bus tour with guide in Lisbon (for only 60 Euros).
This is truly an amazing palace borne during the time of Romanticism in the 19th century - and my favorite in Sintra is the Pena National Palace. Our bus reached this castle after going up a mountain which was dotted with amazing houses which I think were houses made by those who were close to the royals. You can see that those houses are well-maintained as workers can be seen tending to the expensive gardens.
And when you reach the palace itself, you will want to take so many pictures but, alas, you are not permitted to take any pictures within the palace. But there are patios where you will be allowed to takes amazing outside pictures of the palace and the surrounding hills/mountains.
The interior of the palace is surprisingly very cozy and very family-oriented. Apparently, the royal couple had a lot of kids (eleven?) and so you can just imagine them going around the rooms. Though it is not as grandiose a palace as Versailles, but this palace has a certain family character to it.
I also remember seeing an amazing tea room with teak décor from India which was a favorite room of the Queen, The kitchen which they used for special occasions also was filled with copper pots - but there is smaller kitchen used when there is no palace occasion.
Also, as you are driving around the area, try to see if you can spot in the distance the Moorish castle with its chess-like torres – a fortification from the 8th century.

Sintra is a beautiful place to visit. I totally recomend the patisserie in Búzio Café (Praia das Maçãs) - even in the winter with a tasty capuccino! In the Summer this place have an interesting outdoor siting - near to the beach :)
This Summer we visited Sintra once more, can't get enough and visited the amazing beaches by the Coast - Praia Grande (big beach) and Praia das Maçãs (apples' beach), near Colares (meaning necklaces, love these names). The sand is immaculate, the water is cold but is fun to brave the cold water especially when the sun is really hot and it's never too busy.
We went to Búzio Café (not to confuse with Búzio restaurant the fish restaurant) by the car parking area.
They have an amazing selection of regional cakes and pastries such as Pastéis de nata and Queijadas (the famous mini cheese tarts) and traditional savoury snacks and sandwiches also available. Queques Bibió are the speciality, small muffins that go well with everything - we tried a few different ones and one of my favourite is Pastéis de Londres. Make sure you go inside and check the cakes displayed, there is a lot to choose from.
Apparently the ownership changed and things are looking just great. Everyone knows this local cafe so just ask and you will find it. It has a nice outdoor seating area in the sun and you can enjoy a drink there too.
A great thing about this place is that it is right by the last stop of the old tram line that runs from Sintra all the way to the beach and it's a great way to visit this beautiful area.
Renting a bike while in Lisbon made my whole stay in the city! I have been everywhere that I wanted to go and even found some hidden gems throughout beautiful Lisboa. On a bike you see and experience so much more, having the freedom to stop where and when you want to allowed me to take great shots of the city. I rented the bike from www.bikeiberia.com who provided great advice so I could start discovering the city on my own. Great bike and equipment at very reasonable price! Definitely recommend renting a bike even if it will be for just a couple of hours!
I loved this short day trip to sintra!!it's a magical place with so many interesting sites that I believe an overnight stay wouldn t be a bad idea!!!
quinta de regalais although not that old is a wonderful place not only for the beauty of the park and the villa itself but also for all simbolic meaning behind all this.
we have been there for only 1 day and we regret the fact we couldn't go to the monasteiro as it was a bit far away. All the other sites are easy manageable in one day without the need of any tour.
This ruined castle is located on the hill overlooking the town, dates back to the 9th century. It was either constructed by the Arabs or they built a new one on the top of an Older one. It served as on excellent observation post as whole coastline is visible from the castle (some 450m above sea level)
There are trains leaving every 15 min from Rossio station. The journey takes about 30-40 min. From the station at Sintra, simply take bus 433 to Sintra Vila or it will be about a 10 min walk into town centre.
circular 434 bus tickets are 4,6 eur for hole day. (for Pena and Moorish)

Reviews for Traditional Popcorn Balls
Sort By :
"I do not own a candy thermometer? How can i judge when ready?"
"When I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's the lunch ladies would make these treats for us on holidays or special fairs and they would flavor them with Kool-aid (the unsweetened envelopes)--usually orange or raspberry!"
"The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the popcorn to cool! I think my teenagers ate half of the hot popcorn mix before we could even form them into the classic popcorn ball. As a volunteer food editor for Taste of Home, I love re-discovering old classic recipes!"
"I haven't had a home-made popcorn ball in 50 years. My mother use to make them and they seemed so difficult. I just made this recipe and it was so easy and tasted wonderful."
"I absolutely love this app. Thank you."

ICRC Position Paper No. 3
ICRC Briefing and Position Paper
July 1996
From Negotiation to Action
Since international negotiations for new restrictions on the use of landmines began in March 1994, some 56,000 persons, mainly civilians, are estimated to have been killed or maimed by these indiscriminate weapons. By the time the existing international treaty concerning the use of landmines is again reviewed in the year 2001, mines may have shattered another 120,000 lives unless far more dramatic steps than those required by the law are taken by States and the international community. Before the recently adopted legal rules take full effect around 2007, the toll could exceed 200,000. Such levels of preventable death and injury are morally unconscionable and can be stopped.
Fortunately, we may already be witnessing the beginning of the end of the use of anti-personnel landmines worldwide. In face of growing public abhorrence antipersonnel mines are well on the way to being stigmatized in the public conscience, as was poison gas after World War I.
A recent opinion poll conducted in 21 countries reflected large majorities aware of the landmine crisis and in favour of a ban on these weapons. Twenty-five States have renounced or suspended the use of antipersonnel mines by their own armed forces; more than 20 have prohibited production; 11 are destroying their stockpiles and more than 50 have halted exports. These unilateral measures reflect a growing awareness of the urgent need for dramatic steps to end the landmine crisis and the growing momentum of efforts to achieve a global ban. Over time these steps will save lives.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), along with the entire Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, is fully committed to continuing its

May 5, 2015
Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, and I'm surely not alone in feeling this way, but going away to a foreign city or a secluded beach resort would be a lot more enjoyable if it weren't for those pesky airports.
Unfortunately, we haven't invented a more efficient mode of transportation, like those rocket ships sci-fi master Robert Heinlein envisioned. And even if we had, they would certainly fall under the governance of everyone's favorite bureaucracy — the Transportation Security Administration.

This may come as a big surprise to readers who know me as a sports-loving lunatic, but I didn't participate this year in a time-honored tradition — filling out a bracket for the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Why, you might ask, would I decide to do such a wacky thing?

Guest Column — Transportation: We must act now
March 25, 2015
This region is truly world class — from our breathtaking environment to our vibrant communities. But the "world class" label bestowed upon us in a newspaper column last fall — "Hey, we're world class! For truly terrible traffic" — must serve as a wake-up call for action.
That headline came after the Washington State Department of Transportation released its 2014 "Congestion Report," showing us that the gridlock and brake-tapping we've been stewing in for years is now significantly worse.

I spend a lot of time thinking about local people and things, and I'd like to point out some of them here.
Kudos to the parents of young Maddie Sprague, Jeannie and Colin Sprague who met Maddie when she was only a couple of weeks old. Although they knew about her health problems — she had open-heart surgery the day she was born — they adopted her anyway.

Rita Ora is the new face of Madonna's clothing line, Material Girl, available at Macy's. / Material Girl, Iconix
Madonna and daughter Lola have unveiled their Material Girl line's fall 2013 marketing campaign, starring Rita Ora.
For the back-to-school season, the British singer, 22, takes to the streets of London, starring in her debut ads for the brand. She hits all of jolly old England's hot spots including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London Eye and a double-decker bus.
"To be handpicked by Madonna and her incredibly cool daughter Lola is the largest of all compliments," says Ora in a release about the new campaign.
"Material Girl means fashion, it means confidence. It means belief, inspiration and the freedom to really express yourself."
Ora joins past brand spokeswomen Georgia May Jagger and Kelly Osbourne as the face of the junior brand, available exclusively at Macy's and macys.com.

Local multi-intrumentalist/looper/percussionist/electronic music purveyor Martin Dosh doesn't fall easily into a single genre or "image," which is part of what makes his eclectic yet affecting music so appealing to internet hipsters and dusty vinyl jazz fans alike. His music is quirky, complicated, and full of musical touchstones from the simplest 808 programmed beat to the wild saxophone stylings of frequent collaborator Mike Lewis. However, unlike some Pitchfork-approved multi-stylists, there's a heartfelt, paternal sincerity to his arrangements, as if every moment of his music is painstakingly nurtured for its own good. This is more pronounced than ever with his current release, Tommy, named for Dosh's close friend and local sound engineer/musician Tom Cesario, who died unexpectedly in late 2008. Expect Dosh to roll out guest collaborators throughout the night while paying tribute to his friend with the songs he inspired. White Hinterlands opens the show.

Page description:
So now they're cleaning up the mess… can they bounce back?
I tried something a bit different with the colour here, using flat solid colour brushes on a lot of it instead of the usual varied transparencey and subtle blending. I think it worked better here, it was also way quicker and bolder.
The backgrounds were fun… I couldn't work out why my linework was so spartan, till I started on the colour and I realised why: you can fake a lot of detail and depth with colour, I always forget that.
This was the first page of the current script I drew out from the text description alone, no thumbnails, because I didn't think I'd done any… But after I finished the damn page I saw that I DID! ARSE!!!

The undercover officer wasn't even wearing a bulletproof vest for his own protection.How sorry do you want me to feel for a guy that has 3 kids and won't throw on a vest before a shootout.It takes 2 seconds…its velcro.
Are any of our deaths worth any less? Do we hold the bad officers to a higher standard when they do wrong? One gets killed doing his job and it's nonstop coverage.One goes to the wrong house, kills a dog and an old man and dosent even get a reprimand or any media coverage.
I'd just like the knee jerking to settle down

One of the standard tropes of American politics is about global leadership. The automatic assumption on nearly all pressing issues is that we lead, and one of the charges typical of presidential campaigns is that the other candidate doesn't, can't or won't lead. But now, on the most momentous concern of our time, a sizable number of the political class -- including White House aspirants -- are insisting we forego global leadership because the United States doesn't matter to the fate of the issue. That concern is climate change. The opportunity for leadership is tethered to a 20-year United Nations treaty process culminating in Paris in the next two weeks. And those saying it doesn't matter are the big names in the Republican Party.
It's time for us to stop being polite and keeping the peace in our families, to stop hiding behind sympathetic posts on social media and instead have hard discussions about where we, as families, are at. To tell those close to us how afraid we are that, some day, we might see their mugshot on television after a horrific event.
For months now, the pundits and the GOP establishment have dismissed the dangers posed by the likes of Trump and Carson and Cruz. But as their rhetoric becomes harsher, with naked appeals to intolerance and even violence, it is time to wake up. Because they speak to an entire group's existential crisis
The shooter had help. He had help from an entire movement that has carelessly labeled abortion as "murder" and "baby-killing." Killing abortion providers flows logically from the moment you call abortion "murder" and this labeling has to stop. Now.
The scientific community agrees on a crucial fact: we must leave most remaining fossil fuels in the ground, or our children and future generations are screwed. Yet Obama is not proposing the action required for the essential change in energy policy direction.
In the aftermath of the recent mass shooting at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, it's time we examine the role of words in our politics and in our society. Those who defensively insist that their vicious verbal attacks on Planned Parenthood have nothing to do with a single gunman's massacre of innocent citizens are fooling themselves.
It's possible to have a flexible economy and also provide workers some minimal level of security. A decent society requires no less.
The Thanksgiving feast may be over, but your houseguests will still be hungry. Don't stress yourself out by being a short order cook. Most of these brunch recipes can be made in advance, and all of them have some serious "wow-factor."
The Showtime documentary, "The Spymasters: CIA in the Crosshairs," which will air Saturday night, pulls the curtain back on America's most secret agency and sheds light on its successes and failures.
If we are serious about changing the climate, we need to get serious about changing agriculture.
Donald Trump's toxic comments about immigrants and women are completely counter to the spirit of my late husband Gene Kelly. Not only would Gene be appalled by Trump's deplorable words and actions, he would be stricken that such depravity could be tolerated in a race for President of the United States.
As President Obama flies to Paris for the latest international negotiation on climate change, diplomats on both sides of the Atlantic appear confused about what his position will be. Will he champion legally binding commitments by all nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions? Or will he agree only to deal with no legal force?
This week's episode of KCRWs "Scheer Intelligence" features Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer in conversation with Dennis Kucinich, Ohio's eight-term congressman and two-time Democratic presidential candidate, who reveals tales about the underbelly of politics going back to his days as the "Boy Mayor" of Cleveland on the late 1970s.
I am tired of letting the loudest among us be those who call for un-American behavior in the name of patriotism. I am tired of letting the dialogue be monopolized by those who pass off prejudice as faith. Compassion matters. Dignity matters. Standing for something worthwhile is rarely easy.
Scandal took the biggest leap in recent history by featuring a one-minute abortion procedure, which marked the first time since Roe vs. Wade that a main female TV character underwent the procedure. And it was not all that dramatic, which is the exact point we are trying to make about abortion.
Dear Mrs. Merkel, Germans are noticing the shift that has just begun. They notice that after this eventful decade, Germany is about to change profoundly. And they need somebody to explain this transition to them.
In striving to combat the most violent evil terror facing the world today, neither avoidance nor surrender is an option. This is true both for efforts to bring political stability to Syria as well as obliterating ISIS. It is also true, however, for holding steadfast to our bedrock principles of American exceptionalism and inclusion.
The struggle with jihadism is in fact a world war with multiple front lines scattered across the world's major cities. That conclusion is inescapable. It is not the Third World War, because it has little in common with the first two. It is therefore possible to say that this is the first "World War" fought by asymmetric forces simultaneously across the globe.
It wasn't easy surviving on the streets, while at the same time, going to school everyday. At age 14, for me and for many LGBTQ youth, getting ready for school the night before looked very different than it does for the average youth.
COP21 represents one of those rare opportunities to change the course of human history. I believe that a net-zero target is achievable by 2050. It shouldn't worry us. To be honest, I couldn't think of a more exciting opportunity. .
Although the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly pledged to comply with various Human Rights conventions, it nonetheless repeatedly has trampled the basic human rights of Waleed and others who are now languishing in Saudi prisons with crippling sentences of 15, 20 and 30 years.
When we think of climate change, we tend to picture rising sea levels, higher temperatures, expanding deserts, more violent storms, melting ice caps. But we should also think of wasted fields and hungry people, because climate change poses a tremendous threat to our food supply for all countries.
Long before I ever set foot in an actual, working newsroom, I was a sucker for movies and TV shows about journalism and reporter. If you haven't already heard, to the list of superb movies about the trade, you can now add Spotlight.
The power of the film is that it won't let us forget that it's within our power to avoid the worst consequences of climate change -- we need only choose to do so. That's important for all of us to remember, not just those who are tasked with reaching an agreement in Paris.
I've frequently been surprised by people reporting okay days after seriously sleepless nights. In large part, this is a testament to the human capacity for resilience. But it's also a direct result of using sensible strategies to manage the day after. Here are 10:
A number of schools are considering firing their longtime successful coaches, in the hopes of getting a more successful one. Should they do so?
I call upon all believers of equality to unite and to work to put an end to such acts of violence, injustice and discrimination against Iranian women. They should stand up and declare systematic opposition to the theocratic regime, whose medieval, inhumane treatment of women has no place in the civilized world.
My family's journey epitomizes the mythic American Dream. The United States is a land of immigrants -- beginning with the Pilgrims that inspired Thanksgiving -- who come for freedom and opportunity. And that's why the debate over Syrian refugees hits home for me.
If we can reduce human suffering, we can reduce addiction. We must decide that the cost of addiction in lives and money is not acceptable to our society in the 21st century. We highly commend Jason for his extraordinary article, and thank him for the lives he has saved.
If you're wondering what the optimal times are to engage in certain activities, listen to your body's circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are physiological, mental and behavioral changes governed by the body within a 24-hour clock, according to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. They are affected by environmental cues, such as sunlight, darkness and temperature.
We have some waiting to do before we see the results of the ongoing RF EMF study on children. But that doesn't mean you have to wait idly. There are a number of steps you can take today to help ensure your child's use of mobile phones isn't disrupting sleep:

GoPro: Sage Kotsenburg & Joss Christensen - Road To The ESPYS
In the days leading up to their walk down the ESPYS Red Carpet, olympic gold medalists Sage Kotsenburg and Joss Christensen jetted around the country with the Woodward Team.

At the end of the night, Sage took home the honors adding an ESPY to his trophy collection. Go to WoodwardTV.com for more!

The World on a Page
Varadarajan, Tunku, Newsweek
Byline: Tunku Varadarajan
Tortillas, toffees, ancient lard--and a coup in an island paradise.
The Man from Merkel
Nicolas Sarkozy became the first French leader since Marshal Petain to be propped up, unembarrassed, by his German counterpart. Sarko, trailing badly in pre-election polls, had Angela Merkel campaign for him, exhorting French voters to stand by her man. One can only imagine the froideur at the first Franco-German summit after the election if Francois Hollande, Sarkozy's opponent, wins.
Gooooaaaal --
Fabio Capello resigned as manager of England's soccer team in protest over the English Football Association's decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy for a "racially aggravated public order offence." Terry is alleged to have called another footballer a "f--king black c--t." The gravamen of the charge isn't the sexual ruderies, but the word in between, "black." (There are several b---k players on the team.)
Putin Pay
The group Anonymous has hacked into the emails of Nashi, the pro-Putin youth organization, revealing amounts paid to numerous pro-Putin journalists for pro-Putin pieces. By far the highest rate was charged by the photographer/blogger Ilya Varlamov, until now thought to be a friend of the opposition. He has one of the largest blog followings in Russia and allegedly received 400,000 rubles ($13,300) from Nashi for just two short posts. Nice work if you can get it.
Tortilla Flat
Josefina Vazquez Mota, the first woman to run for the Mexican presidency, is a long way behind in the polls. But she's getting a boost from an unlikely quarter: the frontrunner himself. In a newspaper interview, Enrique Pena Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party was unable to recall how much tortillas (which Mexicans eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) cost. Pena Nieto compounded his elitist sin by saying, by way of excuse, "I'm not the lady of the house." Will the presidency turn on the tortilla? …

SEKI, Gifu Prefecture (Japan) -- Rugby players and fans have been scrummaging to a temple here to pray before a 500-year-old Buddhist statue that captures the signature pose of national team hero Ayumu Goromaru.
UDA, Nara Prefecture (Japan) -- A gold and silver-inked Buddhist text preserved at the Soyuji temple here has been found to be one of the famed Chusonji-kyo Sutras, a series of Buddhist manuscripts dating back almost 900 years.
Move comes amid wider crackdown on religious freedom
Beijing, China -- A Chinese court has sentenced a leader of a Buddhist sect to life in prison on charges of leading a cult, rape and fraud in the latest case to target the leader of a fringe religious group amid a wider crackdown on religious freedom.
Japan's Buddhist temples are going out of business
Tokyo, Japan -- FAR from preaching abstinence from earthly pleasures, the Buddhist priests behind the counter of Vowz, a Tokyo bar, encourage the opposite.
"We mustn't act as if it's all right to cast the LGBT community aside because they're a minority group," says priest at Japan's Shunkoin temple.
Tokyo, Japan -- Same-sex marriages are not legal in Japan. However, there is a Japanese Buddhist temple where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and members of other sexual minority groups can wed: the Shunkoin temple in Hanazono, Kyoto. Same-sex couples from around the world visit the temple.
Kyoto, Japan -- A Buddhist monk on Wednesday finished a grueling nine-day ritual of not eating, drinking, or sleeping as he chanted sutras 100,000 times.
Jiangsu, China -- The theme of this year's World Buddhist Forum is 'Exchange with Common Aspiration'. For two days, participants will discuss Buddhism's positive roles in resolving problems for human and social development.
Jiangsu, China -- Buddhist followers should embrace the Internet and spread the religion's philosophy online.
Tokyo, Japan -- More than 12,000 temples in Japan currently have no resident monk, an absence that could lead to the further demise of these traditional centers of local communities, an Asahi Shimbun survey showed.
Tokyo, Japan -- At first glance, Yugasan Rendaiji doesn't seem very different to the thousands of other Buddhist temples scattered across the country. It's a place where members of the local community go at prescribed times of the year to pray, receive blessings and attend festivals. For tourists — the smattering who make it to the Okayama countryside, that is — it's a picturesque place to drop by and snap a few photos.

A bone infection may occur when bacteria or fungi invade the bone, causing many symptoms, including fever, redness, stiffness, and swelling.
An animal bite can break the skin, resulting in a puncture wound or an open wound. Bites that don't break the skin can cause bruising due to ruptured blood vessels under the skin.
Psoriasis is a chronic, noncontagious skin disease characterized by red patches of skin often accompanied by silvery-white scales of dead skin cells. It may occur anywhere on the body.
