While driving at freeway speed car overheated, I stopped and added coolant, as it was low. Temp light went off. Later same day overheated again, as I pulled into a turn lane to get off of the freeway the cobalt died and wouldn't start again, some smoke coming from eng. Compartment. Now when I try to start it all I hear is (I think) the sound of the starter spinning. Car has 197,000 overall, but I replaced the engine with one that had approx. 40,000 on it about 10-12,000 miles ago. Replacement engiune was out of a Ion from Canada.

Atrioventricular (AV) block is defined as a delay or interruption in the transmission of an impulse, either transient or permanent, from the atria to the ventricles due to an anatomic or functional impairment in the conduction system. The conduction can be delayed, intermittent, or absent. The commonly used terminology includes first degree AV block (slowed conduction without missed beats), second degree AV block (missed beats, often in a regular pattern, eg, 2:1, 3:2, or higher degrees of block), and third degree or complete AV block.
In second degree AV block, some atrial impulses fail to reach the ventricles. Wenckebach described progressive delay between atrial and ventricular contraction and the eventual failure of an atrial beat to reach the ventricle [1]. Mobitz subsequently divided second degree AV block into two subtypes, as determined by the findings on the electrocardiogram (ECG) [2]:
●Mobitz type I AV block, in which progressive PR interval prolongation precedes a nonconducted P wave.
●Mobitz type II AV block, in which the PR interval remains unchanged prior to a P wave that suddenly fails to conduct to the ventricles.
●Advanced second degree AV block, in which two or more consecutive P waves are nonconducted. In contrast to third degree or complete heart block, however, some P waves continue to be conducted to the ventricle.

Respond to Review of Falafel House
by judgecal
Review: This small Falafel cafe served the best Vegan food we found during our stay in Istanbul, really tasty stuff. The staff are friendly and speak a good amount of English. You can watch as they make the food and make changes to each order so you can avoid the mysterious white sauce that gets dangerously close to each pitta.

(Updated at 3:50 p.m.) The number of homeless individuals in Arlington County increased 6 percent between 2012 and 2013, but the homeless population is still lower than it was in 2010, according to a newly-released study.
The annual Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments homelessness report revealed that the homeless count in Arlington increased from 451 in 2012 to 479 in 2013. During that same period, the Washington region saw a 2.4 percent decrease in its homeless population, led by a 22 percent drop in Alexandria, a 12 percent drop in Fairfax County, and a 1 percent drop in the District of Columbia.
Arlington's homeless population had decreased the past two years, from a peak of 531 homeless individuals in 2010. This year, Arlington has the second highest homelessness ratio — 2.2 homeless persons per 1,000 residents — of any local jurisdiction except D.C., where there are 10.9 homeless persons per 1,000 residents.
Arlington's latest homeless count was performed on January 30, 2013.
The rise in the local homeless population is happening despite Arlington's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness, which was first published in 2006. That plan includes supportive services and rental assistance for homeless individuals, and the opening of the new homeless shelter and services center in Courthouse.
Other vital statistics about Arlington's homeless population from the MWCOG study include:
- Arlington has 70 homeless families, comprised of 88 adults and 123 kids
- There are 14 homeless veterans in Arlington, down from 24 in 2012
- There were 198 homeless individuals placed in permanent housing in fiscal year 2012
- There were 49 disabled homeless individuals placed in permanent supportive housing in fiscal year 2012
- The number of "chronically homeless" individuals is down from 175 in 2012 to 156 in 2013
- The numbers of homeless individuals classified with chronic substance abuse problems and severe mental illness are 99 and 45, respectively
"The great news is in the County's success with chronically homeless individuals, where we went from 175 to 156," said Arlington Dept. of Human Services spokesman Kurt Larrick, in an email sent Thursday afternoon. "These are the people living on the street who are at risk of dying if they don't get help. This is the target population for our 100 Homes initiative, and we are really pleased with the results to date of getting these Arlingtonians off the street and into stable housing."
"The Point-in-Time is one lens for looking at the state of homelessness and it gives us some good information," Larrick continued. "We have other lenses that provide more depth and breadth. What they are showing us is that moving people quickly into housing and providing necessary supports is what results in the best outcomes. Programs like Permanent Supportive Housing and Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing use this strategy. And that will be a key strategy at the new Homeless Services Center when it opens in late 2014. With its year-round beds and on-site services, the new center will greatly enhance our ability to get people on the path to stable housing."
Arlington Homeless Population Increases — Despite a decline of 2.4 percent across most of the region, Arlington's homeless population rose by six percent between 2012 and 2013. The figures were gathered during the annual homeless census on January 30. The county's new homeless count stands at 479 people, up from 451 the previous year. [Sun Gazette]
Streetcar Cost/Benefit Test — An article criticizing Libby Garvey's op-ed in the Washington Post contends streetcars do indeed pass the cost/benefit test, contrary to Garvey's thoughts. The author favors a streetcar to buses based on points such as the streetcar having a greater passenger capacity, faster rate of travel and bringing more development to the area.

Raise the Roof Service Project — The Arlington Teen Network Board has teamed up with Rebuilding Together Arlington/Fairfax/Falls Church for a service project called "Raise the Roof." Tomorrow (April 27), volunteers will begin repairing the Borromeo Housing, Inc. group house, which is a transitional home for teen moms and their children. Volunteers are collecting money to continue with the next phase of the service project, which involves a facelift of the interior and exterior of the home. Those interested in contributing can do so through the project website.
Police Seek Tips in Two Theft Incidents — The Arlington County Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in finding suspects involved in two separate theft incidents. The first incident involved shoplifting at South Moon Under (2700 Clarendon Blvd) on March 1. Suspect descriptions are available online, along with contact information for reporting tips. The second case involves tracking down persons of interest in the theft of a victim's wallet. The victim's credit cards have since been used around the area. Suspect information and contact information for reporting tips for that crime can also be found on the police department website.
Senior Citizens Tour Sewage Plant — A group of three dozen senior citizens toured Arlington's recently-renovated Water Pollution Control Plant on Friday. The sold-out tour educated the seniors about the sewage treatment process and about the people who work at the plant, whose "informal motto" is "We're No. 1 with your No. 2." [Sun Gazette]
Technology and the Homeless — Contrary to a common image of the homeless, most homeless individuals in Arlington have a cell phone and some even have laptops. Such technology is described as a "lifeline" to family, job opportunities and education. [Patch]

Volunteers and staff from Arlington Street People's Assistance Network (A-SPAN) are canvassing the county today for the annual census of homeless people.
The local Point-in-Time Count is part of a nationwide count that occurs during the last 10 days in January each year. The census helps to highlight trends, justify requests for federal funding and measure community progress towards preventing and ending homelessness.
Last year, the Point-in-Time count of both sheltered and unsheltered homeless people dropped to 451. That's down two percent from 461 in 2011.
"In this 'great recession,' the number of homeless people in Arlington has actually been trending downward for the last three years," said A-SPAN Executive Director Kathleen Sibert. "Arlington non-profits and the county have done a great job of connecting people with housing; and we hope this year's count will be even lower now that the 100 Homes Campaign has already housed 47 homeless adults."
From 6:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. todady, census teams will visit areas frequented by homeless individuals such as Metro stations, parks, malls and meal serving sites. Additionally, there are six indoor meeting places used for the count, and meals are served to encourage participation. Staff members will also distribute hygiene kits and socks donated by Marymount Women's Basketball team.
"Survey questions go beyond headcounts and ask about instances of domestic abuse, veteran status, and disabilities in order to learn more about the specific homeless population in Arlington and what resources are needed," said Sibert.
The annual report for Arlington's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness was presented to the County Board yesterday (Tuesday). It showed that 708 individuals used Arlington homeless shelters at some time in 2012, which is a six percent increase over 2011. However, the average length of time a person stayed in shelter decreased by 28 percent. The average stay for homeless families showed the most significant improvement, dropping from an average stay of 5.4 months to three months.
"The goal of the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness is that no individual or family lack access to decent, affordable housing," said County Board Chairman Walter Tejada. "That is a tall order in these troubled economic times, but this report, the progress we are making in housing Arlington's most-at-risk homeless persons who were identified last year, and the County's many programs aimed at getting those in need into housing shows that we intend to meet that goal."
A nonprofit will be allowed to house six adults with mental illnesses in the Alcova Heights neighborhood, despite objections from neighbors.
Since April, a single-family house at 3704 2nd Street S. has been operating as a low-barrier group home for four (4) adults with mental illnesses transitioning from homelessness. New Hope Housing, the Alexandria-based nonprofit that operates the dormitory, has been seeking a use permit to increase the maximum number of adults housed at the dormitory to six (6).
The use permit request drew criticism from neighbors at Saturday's Arlington County Board meeting.
Residents told the Board that there was a lack of supervision and communication from the nonprofit for the first 4-5 months that the group home — called Susan's Place — was in operation. Several neighbors described residents of the shelter cursing and spitting at them as they walked by, a resident who sat in a broken chair in the front yard talking to himself until midnight, and other disturbances. Residents and neighborhood representatives said neighbors were not notified that the group home would be opening, and didn't know who to contact with concerns.
New Hope Housing Executive Director Pamela Michell told the Board that the problems went uncorrected for several months because a key staff member was on an extended personal leave, working on a master's degree in social work. She said the organization typically doesn't give neighbors a heads up when they open a new group home because of fair housing laws, but called that a mistake in retrospect.
"There was a lack of communication," she admitted. "We did not come and talk to the neighborhood. That was obviously a mistake."
Still, Michell said the organization was not aware of any problems during the first few months the group home was open. She said a staff person was on-site during that time, and disputed the assertion of neighbors that they made a reasonable effort to voice concerns about resident behavior.
"Frankly, no one knocked on our door and said there was a concern," Michell said. "Since the staff person didn't observe it and since nobody complained, we didn't know there was something that needed to be addressed."
In a letter to county staff, the Alcova Heights Citizens Association said they only obtained information about New Hope Housing when an attorney for the organization contacted them seeking support for expansion of the group home. The first meeting between neighbors and New Hope staff took place on Aug. 14.
"This appears to be a lapse in management," County Board member Jay Fisette said to Michell. "You guys did something wrong."
Fisette and other Board members were swayed, however, by accounts that problems with the group home have largely been corrected since that meeting. They were also supportive of conditions for the use permit agreed to by New Hope Housing, including 24-hour on-site supervision, a neighborhood liaison who can be reached by phone by residents, an administrative review after 5 months and a County Board review in 9 months.
"Because it has improved… I think this is going to work," Fisette said. "Six people, five people or four doesn't really matter. It's the management issues around it."
Fisette also noted that many of the residents who expressed concerns about the group home also expressed support for New Hope's overall mission to help the homeless.
The Board approved the use permit by a 5-0 vote.
Board member Chris Zimmerman echoed Board Chair Mary Hynes in commending the "vital function in our community" that nonprofits like New Hope play in helping to combat homelessness.

Arlington Small Business Saturday — This holiday weekend, in addition to today's traditional Black Friday shopping bonanza, Arlington residents will be able to participate in "Arlington Small Business Saturday." The day encourages Arlingtonians to shop and dine at small, local businesses this weekend. "Your favorite retail, dining and online small businesses are participating and providing discounts or incentives on a variety of products and services," according to organizers.
Retirement Ceremony for Therapy Dog — Bailey, a therapy dog at the Capital Hospice Halquist Center near Virginia Hospital Center, is retiring after 10 years of service to those who have life-limiting illnesses. A private retirement ceremony will be held for Bailey, a golden retriever, at the hospice center on Monday night. "Cider, special Goldrush brownies and dog treats will be served," according to an online invitation.
Library Recovers from Database Crash — The electronic catalog and accounts system for Arlington Public Library and Arlington Public Schools is back up and running after crashing last Friday. "We are very pleased to report that our system is back online, along with research databases, and that most if not all data feared lost has been recovered and restored," the library said on its web site. "Your privacy was never compromised. We are taking steps to prevent such an outage from happening again." [Arlington Public Library]
Homeless Navy Vet Gets Apartment — Ernest Maas, a 61-year-old Navy veteran, is giving thanks this Thanksgiving weekend for the roof over his head. Maas got the keys to a new apartment in Arlington on Wednesday after spending the past three years homeless and living in the woods around Four Mile Run. The new apartment was coordinated by the Arlington Street People's Assistance Network. [WJLA]
Arlington Hotels: Tax Us, Please — The Hotel General Managers' Committee of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and the Arlington Tourism Coalition are hoping to lobby the Virginia General Assembly to reinstate the county's hotel tax surcharge. The 0.25 percent tax on hotel rooms in Arlington generated nearly $1 million per year that went to tourism promotion efforts. State lawmakers declined to renew the tax last year in retaliation for Arlington's fight against HOT lanes on I-395. [Sun Gazette]
Arlington County has completed the closing on its purchase of a seven story property at 2020 14th Street N., which will house county offices, storage and a homeless shelter.
The Arlington County Board unanimously approved the $27 million purchase of the building in Courthouse at its meeting on Saturday (November 17). As of today's closing, the county officially owns the property.
County staff will hold a series of public meetings regarding the acquisition to solicit input on certain physical and operational aspects about the property, including issues regarding the homeless shelter. The first will be held at Key Elementary School (2300 Key Blvd) on December 5, from 7:00-9:30 p.m. The other meetings, also from 7:00-9:30 p.m. at Key Elementary School, are scheduled to take place on December 17 and January 14. The county's final plans will be presented at the January meeting.
The county will also be accepting input on parts of the project via its virtual town hall meeting website.
(Updated at 11:25 a.m.) At its meeting on Saturday, Nov. 17, the County Board unanimously approved the controversial acquisition of an office building (2020 14th Street N.) in Courthouse that will house county offices and a homeless shelter.
The shelter, which will occupy two of the building's seven floors, will be open year-round and will replace the current emergency winter shelter, located about two blocks away. Like the winter shelter, it will be operated by the Arlington Street People's Assistance Network (A-SPAN).
"Arlington is making good on its declaration that in this county, every person is important" said County Manager Barbara Donnellan. "It's not enough to merely provide beds in an inadequate emergency winter shelter during the coldest months of the year. It is not enough just to keep the homeless alive. We want to give them an opportunity to rebuild their lives."
County staff recommended the Board approve the deal, because they found that particular building to be most suitable for county offices and storage. Staff members also said they found a portion of the building adequate for renovating into a homeless shelter, to replace the emergency winter shelter located at 2049 15th Street N.
County staff had been working to reach a purchase agreement with the property owner since November 2010, and last year the County Manager was authorized to acquire the property for $25.5 million by purchase or eminent domain. The price finalized at the Board meeting on Saturday was more than $27 million. Staff said although the cost is greater than the county's appraisal, it's less than the seller's appraisal.
More than a dozen people took turns speaking to the Board about the controversial issue, both in favor of and against the building purchase.
Kip Laramie, who owned Santa Fe Cafe (1500 Wilson Blvd) in Rosslyn, said he hasn't had trouble with homeless people at any of his businesses in Arlington throughout the years. He likes the idea of helping homeless people and giving them a place to go.
"The homeless population was much lower when the emergency winter shelter is open than when it's closed," Laramie said. "It would be nice to have that year round lower level of people on the streets."
Safety was a concern of many residents who live near the shelter.
"I don't care if my property values go down, what I care about are people outside of my building threatening the safety of my wife and my daughter," said Nathan Kleekam. Supporters of the homeless shelter argued that the shelter's location — directly across from Arlington police headquarters — will actually improve safety. Also, they say, A-SPAN has done a good job of addressing safety concerns with the existing shelter.
Another topic of concern was the financial impact of the county purchasing the property.
"I'm not necessarily against the homeless shelter. I do think $25 million in order to build the homeless shelter is quite a lot of money, considering that Arlington County is having a very difficult time building enough schools to educate its children," Kleekam said.
One common theme that emerged was that neighbors did not feel the county had taken adequate steps to work with them throughout the entire process. Some residents said the county did not do a good job of notifying them about meetings regarding the building purchase.
Next week, the Arlington County Board will be asked to approve the County's acquisition of a building in Courthouse that will house offices and a homeless shelter.
At its meeting next Saturday (November 17), the Board will examine the purchase contract for the building (2020 14th St. N.), which has an expected purchase price of $27.1 million. County staff estimates the total project cost at approximately $42 million over five years, factoring in additional costs for design, renovation, and tenant relocation.
The building purchase has been controversial since it was proposed nearly a year ago, both due to the cost and resident complaints about safety.
As far as funding for the project, the county said the following in a press release:
Includes $20 million of revenue bonds issued through the Arlington County Industrial Development Authority (IDA), $12 million of previously approved Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) funding, and $6 million from Fiscal Year 2012 close-out funds. In approving the property acquisition, the County Board will also be asked to approve a temporary loan of $20 million from the Utilities Fund PAYG account to the General Fund PAYG account. This will be a temporary "bridge" loan, which will be reimbursed by the issuance of IDA revenue bonds. Funding for the $4 million in out-year costs is not proposed for County Board action at this time. Staff will request these funds once floors 4-7 of the building are available and renovations can take place.
If the measure is approved, the county expects to acquire title to the property at a closing on November 20. More information about the project is available on its website.
More from the county's press release:
Acquiring 2020 14th St. N. will help the County government meet immediate space needs and provide the flexibility needed to support growing community needs. For ease of public access and efficiency, it is important that the County government's office space and staff be located in the Courthouse area, which is the center of County government operations.
If the County Board approves the County's acquisition of the property at 2020 14th Street N., County staff will host a series of public discussions and workshops to solicit input on certain physical and operational aspects of the property, including elements relating to the homeless services center.
Community dialogue: The first meeting is scheduled for Dec. 5, 2012, 7-9:30 p.m. at Key Elementary School. At this session, County staff will be listening to community questions and concerns. The result of this initial session will be community-generated input, ideas and preferences that County staff and building designers can use during the design and operational planning phases of the project.
Workshop: At the second meeting, an interactive workshop scheduled for Dec. 17, 2012 (7-9:30 p.m.) at Key Elementary, participants will be able to review draft building and operational plans, which will incorporate input from the first meeting. Participants will have the opportunity to provide further suggestions at that meeting.
Design review: The third meeting, scheduled for Jan. 14, 2013 (7-9:30 p.m.) at Key Elementary, will include a presentation of the County's final plans.
Concurrent with these meetings, the County will solicit input on aspects of the project through its PLACE/OpenArlington online virtual town hall meeting website.
The project timeline is expected to include a Planning Commission hearing and a Use Permit hearing before the County Board in spring 2013.

Homeless children from a shelter in Arlington will be donating more than $500 to the Special Olympics this afternoon.
The children live in Sullivan House, a shelter for homeless families in Clarendon run by the Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless. Together with parents, volunteers, and AACH staff, thirteen children between the ages of five and 13 ran a lemonade stand outside the shelter throughout the summer. They raised just over $1,000, according to AACH Lauren Marigot Barth.
"They learned about customer service, managing money, and marketing," Barth said. "They also did a really good job!"
The children voted to donate half of the money raised to the Special Olympics. A representative from the organization — which organizes athletic competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabilities — will be on hand at Sullivan House this afternoon to officially receive the donation.

Earlier this month, the 2012 National Conference on Ending Homelessness recognized Arlington County as one of 15 communities nationwide that are "on track" to end homelessness among the medically vulnerable within four years.
The claim is based on a benchmark set by the National Alliance to End Homelessness — cities or counties that moved 2.5 percent of their chronically ill homeless population into permanent housing each month made the list.
Arlington's "100 Homes" campaign, a partnership with the nonprofit A-SPAN, put about 30 homeless people with life-threatening medical issues into permanent, federally-funded supported housing since starting up last October.
"It does actually cost the community a lot more to leave them homeless," said A-SPAN Director of Development Jan-Michael Sacharko. "If you can keep people out of the emergency room, out of shelters, out of jails, you save a lot more money."
The initiative, an outgrowth of the national "100,000 Homes" campaign, was cost-free, Department of Human Services spokesman Kurt Larrick said.
And it rallied significant volunteer support. About 180 volunteers went out at 4 a.m. for three days last fall to survey the homeless and check for those with hypothermia, chronic kidney disease, AIDS, HIV or other diseases.
"We've always had data on people who were homeless in Arlington," Larrick said. "This was the most specific."
Larrick said the survey found 113 "extremely vulnerable" homeless people. The 30 who moved into permanent housing did so with existing county and federal housing programs. Many are clients of A-SPAN, which provides individual case managers to track progress.
As of Arlington's last count, which came in January, there are 451 homeless people on the streets and in homeless shelters, Larrick said.

Civic Federation Budget Proposal — The Arlington County Civic Federation has unanimously approved its own vision for the county's budget. The Civic Federation's budget proposal would hold the current real estate tax rate steady, while providing more money for schools and public safety, funding an inspector general position and eliminating 16 long-vacant county government positions. The Civic Federation also voted 30-12 for a motion calling on the county to close Rosslyn's Artisphere by the end of the year unless significant progress is made in turning around the struggling cultural center's finances.

Streetcar Stalemate with Alexandria — Arlington County's plan to build a streetcar line from Crystal City to Potomac Yard is facing resistance from Alexandria. While Arlington has financing for the streetcar lined up, Alexandria says they don't have the money for a streetcar line — and would like the planned Crystal City/Potomac Yard transit corridor to remain a bus rapid transit system for the foreseeable future. [WAMU]
Thousands Sign Up for Housing Aid — Arlington County opened up its waiting list for federal Section 8 housing assistance for one day, after keeping the list closed for the past seven years. In that one day the county received 5,300 pre-applications from those seeking rent assistance. [Patch]
Fund Set Up to House the Homeless — The Arlington Community Foundation has announced a $500,000 private gift that will allow it to create a new fund for the 100 Homes campaign against homelessness. With a $500,000 match from Arlington County, the $1 million public/private partnership will be "dedicated to housing Arlington's most vulnerable citizens." [Arlington Community Foundation]
The Arlington Street People's Assistance Network has been awarded a $93,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The grant — one of the $2.1 million in grants awarded by HUD in Virginia — will help A-SPAN and its "Open Doors" program provide housing and case management for six chronically homeless adults in Arlington over the next year. A-SPAN currently provides housing and case management for 24 chronically homeless adults who suffer from mental illness and/or substance abuse.
"The clients we will house are those that have been homeless for many years and have been diagnosed with a mental illness and other severe health problems," A-SPAN Executive Director Kathleen Sibert said in a press release. "Despite those difficulties, we've shown that these clients can be successful, but they are our most vulnerable neighbors. Helping them get into housing is our main goal and what we're working toward with the 100 Homes for 100 Homeless Arlingtonians Campaign."
The Arlington County Board authorized the county manager to purchase a Courthouse office building last night, the first step to the creation of a new, year-round homeless shelter.
Arlington first publicly proposed the purchase of 2020 14th Street N. last month, saying that the building would help the county consolidate overflow office space, would facilitate the redevelopment of the Courthouse area, and would serve as the site of a long-desired comprehensive homeless service center. The homeless shelter would take up two floors of the seven-story building, which the county has valued at $25.5 million, and would replace the current emergency winter homeless shelter, located two blocks away.
Most of the several dozen people who spoke at last night's marathon county board meeting stated their support for a year-round shelter. But the speakers were split between those who voiced support for 2020 14th Street being the site of that homeless shelter and a very vocal group — largely residents of the Woodbury Heights condominium, located next to the proposed shelter — who spoke out against it.
Concerns about safety and property values were the crux of the opposition to the proposed shelter.
"I just want to say that we're not assholes… because that's what it's going to sound like," said Woodbury Heights resident Meredith Fox. "I absolutely support, one million percent, helping homeless people getting full care. My issue… is safety. For any woman to enter our home, we are now going to have to walk by many [homeless] people who are standing outside."
"Would you buy a [condo] right next to the homeless shelter?" asked resident Kerry Britton. "Maybe the one six blocks away looks better all of a sudden. If my property goes down 10 percent, that's $42,000 for me and my husband."
Britton noted that she and her self-described "NIMBY" neighbors all support the idea of a comprehensive homeless shelter — just not next to their condo.
"There are many other less expensive parts of the county where the homeless shelter and government offices can locate," said resident Joanna Kim.
Other speakers against the shelter included a Woodbury Heights resident who broke down in tears as she described being sexually assaulted by a homeless man in a train station years earlier, and two young girls who said that, as Woodbury Heights residents, they worried about homeless individuals cursing, smoking and drinking on the street where they catch the bus to school.
"That may influence us to make poor choices later in life," one of the girls said.
The intense opposition was counterbalanced by passionate supporters of the year-round homeless shelter, who made a strong showing at the board meeting.
Among the pro-shelter speakers were church pastors, representatives from community groups, a real estate developer, a business improvement district director, and volunteers from the Arlington Street People's Assistance Network. A-SPAN runs the emergency winter shelter and would run the proposed year-round shelter.
"We are poised at a moment in Arlington's history where we have the resources and we have the opportunity to do what is right and to do what is just," said Rev. Tim Hickey, of the Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in south Arlington. "The measure of the values of any community can be seen in how they treat and deal with one another, but most importantly in how they treat and deal with those that are most vulnerable among them."

text: 7 Celebrity Pranksters Let's just say they probably enjoyed last Tuesday By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Apr 5, 2014 9:00 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (2) (Newser) – Which stars do you think had the most fun during April Fools' Day last week? Probably the 13 celebrity pranksters rounded up by PopSugar. A sampling: George Clooney: One of his most epic pranks: Throwing a fake wedding for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Brad Pitt: He's gotten his buddy Clooney back, though. While filming Ocean's Eleven, Pitt told the crew members they should refer to Clooney only by his character's name, and never look him in the eye. Jimmy Kimmel: The late-night host has pulled too many pranks to list, including making the world think there was a wolf roaming the Sochi Olympic village. Matt Damon: Many of Kimmel's pranks have been on Matt Damon, but let's just say Damon most definitely got Kimmel back. Channing Tatum: While on a plane with his 21 Jump Street co-star Jonah Hill, Tatum covered Hill in napkins ... and then mooned him. Justin Bieber: While hosting the 2012 revival of Punk'd, he made Taylor Swift cry by making her think their fireworks set a couple's wedding boat on fire. Jesse Tyler Ferguson: The Modern Family star once pranked his co-star Sofia Vergara, putting stuff on her while she was sleeping and putting the pictures on Instagram. Click for the complete list.

SEATTLE (AP) — The National Weather Service says Saturday should be the last day of the heat wave in Eastern Washington.
An excessive heat warning is in effect until 11 p.m. for Western Washington from Everett through the southwest corner of the state where forecasters expect highs in the 90s.
Highs in the 90s also are forecast for most of Eastern Washington and there's a red flag warning for a high wildfire danger on the east side of the Cascades, including the Wenatchee, Ellensburg and Yakima areas.
The Weather Service says it will be cooler on the coast today and an onshore flow should bring cooler temperatures to Western Washington over the weekend.
Forecasters say temperatures should cool into early next week in Eastern Washington.

HDC Ethics v. Enforceability:
Unfortunately there will be people who suffer at the hands of unscrupulous individuals. Part of the law puts the onus of reasonable standard upon every party to a transaction.
It would be less fair for a holder in due course to be denied the opportunity to collect payment. The burden falls on the party that was in the best position to prevent the loss. In all cases that is the most fair.
Currently a court determines liability under the UCC and alternate statutes for varying issues. Unless the onus of responsibility is shifted entirely upon one party, there will always be discrepancies regarding intent. We use the best system available to us as citizens of the United States.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I am curious why there is continued development of MP3 encoding (such as LAME) when AAC is now long-known to yield superior quality for a given bit-rate (all other things being equal)?
I can sort of understand an explanation as being for the heck of it, but given that a superior method exists, why not work on improving even that instead? I'm not technolgically sophisticated enough to comment with any authority at all, so I pose the question.

While your AAC encoder is CBR (or "short windowed ABR") it can't compete with Apple and FhG AAC VBR encoders. As simple as it is. Period.
P.S. Also I have a hard time to hear the difference between old Coding Technologies AAC encoder and your new Dolby Pulse encoder. For my ears it's just the very same encoder with some very tiny retouches. Rebranding the same product is a normal procedure today.

The first song already shows the new direction of the band. Just like their colleagues from "Subway to Sally", they deliver a much straighter and darker album than the last ones and go away from their charming folk roots that made them so special.
Don't get me wrong, songs like the opener "Des Königs Henker" or "Salz der Erde" have great choruses and are brilliant live anthems, but the riffs are too simple and the band loses its uniqueness by adapting such an Industrial Metal style. Many songs on this album sound quite similar and there aren't many surprises.
The strongest part of this album is the middle part. The very unusual, ethereal and hypnotizing melancholically ballad "Tote Augen" delivers something completely new and unique, "Tritt ein" is a positive folk anthem and works really well during the band's concerts and reminds me of the older and later works of the band. "Mondlicht" is a little bit harder and straighter but has some surprising folk parts and really romantic and intense lyrics as well as a great chorus. "Ecce gratum" and also the bonus track "Equinox" are average acoustic folk songs that give you some chills after many aggressive songs. The album's sound is really too loud and not well produced and concentrated on the ordinary riff shredding of the guitars and that's why the acoustic songs, even if they are not really convincing, give a well deserved break to the fans.
The main problem is that the album focuses too much on the guitar play, but Saltatio Mortis don't have excellent guitar players and are more convincing when they focus on the folk parts. They concentrate on their weak points rather than on their unique sounds. There are still four or five really good songs on the album but half of this album's songs are too hard, too similar, and too ordinary.
This album is one of the weaker records from Saltatio Mortis and I wouldn't recommend beginning with this album to get into this band, I would recommend picking the great follow-up "Aus der Asche".

La-La Land to release 15-disc original series score set
View Single Post
December 14 2012, 08:47 PM
Re: La-La Land to release 15-disc original series score set
Halfway through season 2, disc 3 now. It's surprising how much of the "Who Mourns for Adonais" score is based on the "Charlie X" score, with some interpolations from "Mudd's Women" and a bit of "Corbomite Maneuver." In fact, all three of Steiner's S2 scores are built largely around themes he used in S1. I wonder why I (and others, I think) find that so much less annoying when Steiner does it than when James Horner constantly reuses his own stuff. Perhaps it's because Steiner only recycled within the same series, rather than using the same motifs and set pieces in unrelated movies. So it feels more like a valid continuation and development process rather than just self-imitation. Also Steiner's choices of themes to reuse were pretty appropriate. There are a lot of parallels between Charlie and Apollo, right down to their final moments, so using the same themes makes sense. Using Eve McHuron's theme for Carolyn is a bit of a stretch, but it didn't begin until Apollo transformed her costume, so maybe the common thread is seductive illusions/artifice. The Romulans and the Terran Empire are both spacegoing bad guys, a bit of a tenuous parallel but a clear one. And the reuse of Andrea's theme for Kelinda makes sense since they're both artificial women. The Kelvans' theme, though, is a reworking of the motif for Mudd's women and the Venus drug, so that's harder to see unless we're back to illusion again.

Please join me on this crisp, early morning, as we watch the breathtaking lavender sky spread gently across the horizon. Notice how the trees shimmer and sparkle with left over star dust. Some of this dust falls quietly to the earth covering the ground in a mantle of twinkling diamonds. Everywhere you look, these diamonds radiate with a brilliant luster, but all too soon the sun coyly begins its ascent. The warm embrace engulfs the sky causing the amethyst colors to fade away, making room for the brighter yellows and reds.
This is the picture that was captured by amateur photographer Frank LeFevre. It seems Frank shares my early morning fascination, as he likes to drive around the countryside in search of unique sunrises and interesting scenery. Apparently, he found that treasured picture. Frank explained, "photography is my hobby. The other morning I was going south on Bunker Hill Road, I passed the location you see in this picture. Then I did a double take, backed up my car and took this picture. I can't believe I almost passed this up. The lighting and everything I was looking for was right here!"
Of course, this picture caught my eye, because the tree is the center of attention. Thank you Frank for capturing this moment and highlighting the beauty of our creator as the greatest of all artists! I recently was privileged to be in attendance during a captivating talk about creation. The many wonders of this earth continue to astound and amaze me. The speaker caught my attention immediately when he described how there are over 20,000 varieties of trees. He held up a maple leaf and an oak leaf and said, "here are only two." The point was made; so many trees that I'm sure Tree Tales will never run out of tree-if-ic tales.
Let us now turn our attention to some thoughts from the younger generation on their feelings of trees.
Why I Like Trees:
Skylar from Orangeville, "Trees are the largest known organism in the world. And one third of the United States is covered by trees. Trees give us oxygen and shade and medicines and most importantly, they prevent erosion. Trees increase property value. So that means that you can have more money because money comes from trees. With more trees in your lawn, it can make you wealthier and one large tree can supply enough oxygen for four people. So now you can see why I love trees."
Kylie Wirth, Orangeville, "I can climb them."
Aspen Roberts, Lena-Winslow, "Because they stand up nicely."
Nevaeh Gross, Lena-Winslow, "Because they're pretty and I like jumping in leaf piles."
Blake Duncan, Lena-Winslow, "Because they are my favorite thing on earth."
Thank you for all those reasons and I will have to agree with Blake...trees are just about my favorite thing on earth, too. Have a happy day, imagine wonderful things and laugh often!

The Living History Company of Fort Walla Walla Museum, 755 Myra Road, will present a weekend in the company of women.
Walla Walla's "New Orleans Lady" will return to the town she graced in the 19th century at 2 p.m. Saturday in the pioneer settlement. Portrayed by Deanna Underwood, Annie Mix was a woman of sophistication and elegance, as well as possessing a strong character. Mix was born Anna Dwight in New Orleans in 1831 and arrived in Walla Walla with her husband and three children in 1863, when the city of Walla Walla was just a year old.
Her husband, James D. Mix, was born into a Virginia family. James Mix served twice in the Territorial Legislature, as city attorney and as a member of the city council. After retirement from public duties, he was involved with farming and stock-raising endeavors.
Following her husband's death in 1881, Annie Mix took over the operation of the family business interests, including farming, ranching and commercial properties such as the Palace Hotel. The hotel once stood in downtown Walla Walla.
She was widely known for her gracious hospitality and judicious business ability.
On Sunday at 2 p.m. Lucinda Fulton Isaacs will be portrayed. In 1860 she married Henry Isaacs, and two years later the couple moved to Walla Walla, where he established a flour mill.
Lucinda Isaacs entertained suffragist Susan B. Anthony in whose cause she worked. Anthony, along with fellow suffragist Abigail Scott Duniway, crusaded through Washington and Oregon territories to form the Washington Woman Suffrage Association. Through their efforts, full voting rights were granted to women in 1883 by the Territorial Legislature. However, the Territorial Supreme Court overturned that law in 1887. Another bill passed in 1888, but it too was overturned.
Isaacs was also a principal in the first Women's Club in Walla Walla, the Ladies Park Club, the Walla Walla Art Club, the Reading Club, the Education Club, the Humane Society and the first meeting of the symphony. She was also a poet and a writer of essays and historical sketches under pen names, as well as correspondent for the Washington Equal Suffrage Association and the National Council of Women Voters. She is portrayed by Liz George.
Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily, April through October and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays except holidays Novemberthrough March. Admission is free to members and children under 6, $3 for children ages 6-12, $6 for seniors 62 and older and students, and $7 general admission. For more information, call 509-525-7703 or e-mail email@example.com. Online see fortwallawallamuseum.org.

Welcome to New England Photos Plus!
This site features the artistic photography of John Grabill who has been taking photos of the flora, fauna, water and sky all around New England and beyond for over twenty years.
His idea is to capture images that can be seen every day with the naked eye: no filters, no digital manipulations or enhancing. The shots range from reflections in puddles and rivers to the frozen ocean; from towering trees and lighthouses to aerial shots of the coastline. The photos here are just a sampling and will soon be joined by others, including more offerings by Natalie Grabill. All are available as framed prints in two sizes, as postcards, notecards or as calendars. John is also willing to take custom aerial or other specialty shots for you: just let him know your ideas!
Enjoy the views!

Pimco Sees Euro-Contagion Risk for Poland on Complacency
Poland's risk of contagion from the euro-area debt crisis is rising because the country isn't doing enough to cut its budget gap, said Michael Gomez, an emerging-markets fund manager at Pacific Investment Management Co.
Failure to solve the Greek crisis may widen the spread between Polish government bond yields and those of countries such as Belgium, and a "big disruption of the markets" may force Poland to tap its $30 billion flexible credit line from the International Monetary Fund, Gomez said yesterday by phone.
"The chance of a disruption to the euro zone's peripheral economies is getting larger," said Gomez, the Munich-based co-head of emerging markets at Pimco, the world's biggest manager of bond funds. "Poland is still in a relatively good position to navigate difficulties, but there are signs of policy complacency and the Polish economy wouldn't be immune to an acute global disruption."
Euro-area leaders meeting today in Brussels may accept a temporary Greek default and ease the terms of bailouts to Greece, Portugal and Ireland to resolve the debt crisis, two officials familiar with the negotiations said. In Poland, the European Union's largest eastern member, Prime Minister Donald Tusk will seek a mandate from voters in October to cut the budget deficit to less than the bloc's limit of 3 percent of economic output next year from 7.9 percent in 2010.
Pimco invests in Polish government securities including fixed-coupon bonds maturing in 2014 and 2015, as well as the zloty, according to Bloomberg data.
Zloty, Bond Spreads
The zloty has weakened 1.1 percent against the euro in the past three months, the sixth-worst performance among more than 20 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
The Polish currency strengthened today on investor optimism about the talks in Brussels, advancing to 3.9861 per euro at 5:18 p.m. in Warsaw from 3.9977 late yesterday. The yield on the five-year government bond fell to 5.264 percent from 5.296.
The spread between Poland's five-year benchmark bond and Belgian bonds maturing the same year narrowed to 172 basis points today from 278 on Nov. 4, when a government stalemate in Belgium increased political risk. Poland has the EU's sixth-biggest economy, just ahead of Belgium.
Poland sold 3 billion zloty ($1.1 billion) of 10-year Treasury bonds at today's auction, matching the maximum amount offered, at an average yield of 5.803 percent, the Warsaw-based Finance Ministry said in an e-mailed statement.
It "wouldn't be damaging in and of itself" for Poland to tap the IMF credit line, Gomez said. "I would view it a source of liquidity and insurance that the Polish economy has at its disposal. Of course, if Poland were to tap the FCL that would imply that we have seen a big disruption of the markets, which would obviously be negative."
Credit-Default Swaps
Poland's five-year credit-default swaps, used to protect investors from non-payment or speculate on a borrower's credit worthiness, are trading at around 170 basis points, compared with 58 for Germany, the EU's largest economy, according to figures from data provider CMA. Poland is rated A- by Standard & Poor's, one step below the neighboring Czech Republic.
While Poland, which accounts for more than a third of the output in the EU's eastern states, was the only country in the 27-nation bloc to avoid recession in 2009, public finances have deteriorated.
The budget deficit has more than quadrupled since 2007, pushing public debt to 52.8 percent of gross domestic product last year, according to Polish accounting standards. Breaching 55 percent would trigger mandatory austerity measures.
Deficit-Cutting Plan
The government has said it aims to cut the deficit to 2.9 percent of GDP next year, counting on 4 percent economic growth. The central bank last week lowered its forecast for 2011 economic expansion to 3.2 percent from 3.6 percent. The European Commission said in June the government's deficit-cutting plans were based on "slightly too favorable" growth forecasts.
Tusk is seeking to become the first premier since the communist regime was overthrown in 1989 to win a second term in office. Poland can reach its deficit goal "without any changes" to the government's plans, Tusk said this month.
Support for Tusk's ruling Civic Platform was unchanged at 34.5 percent, while backing for the opposition Law & Justice party increased 1.8 percentage points to 29.1 percent, according to a poll conducted July 15 by researcher Homo Homini, Polskie Radio reported. Homo Homini surveyed 1,100 adults by phone. No margin of error was given.
"The policy stance has been more accommodating over the recent cycle than we would expect it to be and we look for tighter policies going forward," Gomez said. "There hasn't been any severe disruption in Poland because of its strong initial conditions, but policy needs to tighten up. The country's susceptibility to contagion rises the longer it waits."
