Help:Page protection
this wiki
Page protection is the ability to limit who can edit a page. Administrators have the ability to both protect and unprotect pages should the need arise.
The majority of pages on a wikia should remain unprotected to encourage all users to participate.
Places where you may want to use protection may include:
- Protecting frequently vandalised pages, such as the main page on busy communities.
- Maintaining the integrity of the site's wordmark and favicon.
- Protecting community policies that have been set in stone.
- Templates containing complex code or are necessary for a particular wiki.
Temporary protection might be used for:
- Enforcing a "cool down" period to stop an edit war, upon request.
- Protecting a page or image that has been a recent target of persistent vandalism.
Protection levelsEdit
There are four protection levels admins can use when protecting a page.
- Semi-protection: protection of a page against editing by an unregistered or non-autoconfirmed user.
- Full protection: protection of a page against editing by a non-admin.
- Cascading protection: protection of a page from editing by a non-admin, as well as any other pages on the wikia linked to on the page.
- Move protection: protection of a page against moving by a non-admin.
Step by stepEdit
Protecting pagesEdit
- To protect a page, photo, template, click on the arrow on the "Edit" button next to the title to produce a dropdown menu. Then click "Protect".
- On the protection page that then appears, you can set the desired protection level.
- You may want the page move protection to be set at a different level than the editing protection. By default, they match. To set a different level, select the check box in the "Move" section, then choose which protection level you would like.
- To set cascading protection, click the check box next to "Protect pages included in this page (cascading protection)"
- Select a default reason for protection in the dropdown menu, or add in your own reason in the box below.
- Click "Confirm" to save your changes.
- To unprotect or change the protection for a specific page, use the Edit button dropdown to visit the protection page for it.
- Remove or alter the protection options.
- Click "Confirm" to save your changes.
Cascading ProtectionEdit
Cascading protection is a form of page protection which allows you to protect a page so that all templates and images on the page will also be protected without needing to protect them individually. When a template is vandalized, especially on a page which uses many templates, it may not be immediately obvious which page/template needs to be fixed, prolonging the amount of time that the page remains vandalized.
To use cascading protection, just click the "protect" link as usual; cascade protect is there among normal protection options. The protection level must be "sysop" in order to activate cascading protection; it will not work at the "autoconfirmed" level, which only affects new and unregistered users.
This feature should not be abused to lock every article on a wikia and prevent them being edited, simply through the inclusion of a template on the pages affected.
- Do not make the common mistake of protecting pages unnecessarily.
- Do not protect a page you are involved in an edit dispute over. Admin powers are not editor privileges - admins should only act as servants to the user community at large.
- Temporarily protected pages should not be left protected for very long.
- Talk pages and user talk pages should not be protected except in extreme circumstances.
- On a wiki where it is required to have an account in order to edit, be aware that semi-protected pages may not be useful. A majority of the editors on that wiki are likely to already have reached autoconfirmed status.
- Do not make the mistake of enabling cascading protection on important templates, such as infoboxes or maintenance tags. If this setting is applied to such templates, the pages in which they are used will inherit the protection settings you have applied, which could result in many articles suddenly becoming uneditable by the majority of your community.

The International Olympic Committee has retained three bid cities in the race for the 2022 Winter Olympics - Beijing, Oslo and Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The three were the only remaining contenders after a series of withdrawals by other candidates.
The IOC executive board decided Monday to approve all three as finalists rather than cut the field any further.
The cities must submit their detailed bid files to the IOC by next January. The host city will be selected in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 31, 2015.
The bid race began with six cities, but has been cut in half by the withdrawals of Stockholm; Krakow, Poland; and Lviv, Ukraine.
The future of Oslo's bid remains uncertain. The Norwegian government will decide in the autumn whether to back the project.

Marc Givler
Cincinnati (Ohio) Moeller offensive tackle Alex Gall has been no stranger to Ohio State over the last several months. Gall camped with the Buckeyes in June, bringing him the OL MVP award, and on Saturday night he made his second unofficial visit to Columbus during the season. Though Gall was in the minority, the 6-foot-4, 295-pound prospect never wavered on his stance that Ohio State would get the win. "That was a wild game," said Gall. "The atmosphere at that game was crazy. Leading up to the game, everyone that I talked to said that Wisconsin was going to beat Ohio State bad and I just thought, 'you know what, I think Ohio State has a chance to win this game and I think they can pull this out'. At the end of the day, they're that kind of team that when everybody thinks they're going to lose, they pull it out." Gall said the atmosphere at Ohio Stadium was on a completely different level than what he had witnessed earlier in the season on his first trip to 'The Shoe'. "The atmosphere of that game was insane," he said. "I went to a game earlier in the year (against Akron) and there were no students. I didn't realize that the students made that much of a difference. The students at that game made the game that much more insane. The fans brought so much more to that game than the first game that I went to. That was wild; you could hardly hear yourself think." Gall is hearing from many of the top programs in the Midwest right now, but is still waiting on his first verbal offer. "There's nothing new really (with recruiting)," he said. "I've just been keeping up with the schools that have talked to me. I don't have any offers yet but I think I'm getting close. At this point, I think the coaches are just trying to figure out who I am and build a relationship and find out what I'm all about." Playing on one of Ohio's top high school teams, Gall isn't sure how many more unofficial visits he will make this season with the playoffs starting this weekend. "We have playoff games on Saturday," he explained. "We'll play on Saturday's from here on out so depending on how far we go, that will determine where I'll visit. I know a couple of schools are trying to get me to come up to visit so it's just kind of hard with my game schedule and trying to get my parents to go with me up to these places." Moeller enters the playoffs as one of the favorites to bring home the Division I title. The Crusaders play in the always brutal Region 4 and Gall just wants to see his team iron out a few details before they hit the field on Saturday. "We have a few hiccups in our team and we need to fix those," he said. "A couple of injuries have hurt us so we need to get those players back on the field and figure out who we are as a team and just take that and run with it." Gall is the No. 26 ranked player in the BuckeyeGrove.com class of 2013 Ohio rankings.

A former Marine stationed here in Eastern Carolina has been convicted for killing a friend's toddler daughter near a Southern California desert military base.
A San Bernardino County jury in Joshua Tree on Thursday found 23-year-old Joshua Kruzik guilty of second-degree murder and assault on a child resulting in death.
Kruzik was a corporal at New River Air Station in Jacksonville when he fatally stuck 18-month-old Audrey Allen to make her stop crying. That happened in California where he was training. He had agreed to babysit the toddler for her parents, who were fellow Marines.
Kruzik faces a possible life prison term when he's sentenced on Nov. 30.
Kruzik was dishonorably discharged.

|Production Number:
|Story by:
|Ira Steven Behr & Robert Hewitt Wolfe
|Directed by:
|Allan Kroeker
Sisko attempts to prevent more Dominion ships from entering the Alpha Quadrant by mining the wormhole; Gul Dukat responds by launching a massive assault fleet against the station. This episode featured the Battle of Deep Space 9 (Season Finale)
On Deep Space Nine, Rom and Leeta study a padd with images of various wedding dresses from Tellarite modern to Risian traditional, but have disliked all of them. Ziyal persuades them to let GarakCaptain Benjamin Sisko walking along the Promenade and approach him. O'Brien is telling Sisko that his wife and children have left for Earth, due to the dangers of being on the front line. Rom and Leeta ask Sisko to officiate at their wedding that is to be held in three weeks time, to which Sisko agrees. After they leave, Sisko and Miles O'Brienwormhole opens and several Dominion starships enter the Alpha Quadrant, on their way to Cardassian space. This is the fifth Dominion convoy to enter the Alpha Quadrant in as many weeks. Sisko predicts that an attack will happen soon.
Act One
Jake SiskoFederation News Service.
Meanwhile Jadzia Dax, Kira Nerys and Odo are in the cargo bay checking several crates. The crates hold several thousand wrappages of yamok sauce. Kira realises that Quark has smuggled them in, believing the Cardassians will soon retake the station. Odo asks what they want to do with it to which Kira makes no reply. Jadzia tells him to dump it. Jadzia asks her what is going on between her and Odo, to which Kira reveals that Odo has feelings for her and that she only found out about a month previously.
As Nog brings Sisko his morning beverage, he asks if the Romulan situation is true. Sisko has no idea what he is talking about and inquires further. Nog tells him that he was talking to several Orion free traders in Quark's the previous night and they said they heard from a Vulcan diplomat that the Romulan Star Empire had signed a nonaggression pact with the Dominion. Sisko tells Nog not to believe the rumours and to remember the one hundred and ninetieth Rule of Acquisition - Hear all; trust nothing. After Nog leaves Sisko contacts Dax and tells her to put him through to Starfleet Intelligence.
Later, in the wardroom Sisko reveals that the Romulans have indeed signed a nonaggression pact with the Dominion, joining the Tholians and the Miradorn who have already done so. Sisko also reveals that Starfleet Command has decided no more Dominion ships can be allowed into the Alpha Quadrant. A minefield
Act Two
In Dax's quarters, Jadzia, O'Brien and Rom are trying to come up with the best type of mine to deploy in the minefield. O'Brien suggests using pulse mines but the Dominion ships could simply wait at the mouth of the wormhole and destroy them. He then suggests cloaking them, but it would weaken the mines. Rom then realises that if the mines are to be small they will need a lot of power and a way to replace them. Each mine is to be equipped with a replicator unit and will swarm detonate, with at least twenty mines to home in on one ship. The main draw back is that the entire minefield will have to be deployed before it can be activated, or premature detonation could occur.
Sisko talks with Starfleet Command and relays their judgement to Kira and Worf that Starfleet's forces are needed elsewhere and will be unable to assist in the deployment of the minefield. Their orders are to deploy the minefield and prepare for a Dominion attack. DS9 will also have to defend the USS Defiant as the starship will be alone while deploying the minefield.
Kira meets with Odo and agrees to his plan of stopping all outgoing communications. They also decide to put their personal feeling for each other aside until the crisis has abated.
The Defiant begins to deploy the mines but the Dominion become aware of it almost immediately. A Dominion ship arrives with Weyoun aboard. He leaves behind all of the pleasantness that he has always used before in his meeting with Sisko. Now he issues Sisko with an ultimatum- to remove the mines or the Dominion will take control of DS9 and remove them themselves.
Act Three
Sisko angrily tells Weyoun that the mines will stay and he will not allow any more ships through the wormhole. Weyoun then returns to his old ways- a mask of reasonableness and sincerity. Weyoun tells Sisko that it is the Cardassians who are pushing for the convoys, saying that they want the security that the Dominion brings. Weyoun then tells Sisko that he will limit the convoys to cargo ships, construction units and civilian aid.
Later Sisko tells his senior officers and General MartokBajoran Council of Ministers. Sisko tells her that the only way Bajor will survive the war will be to do what the Romulans did- and sign a nonaggression pact with the Dominion. He is convinced that by not doing so, the past five years of their work will be undone.
The Bajoran's sign the pact and First Minister Shakaar orders all Bajorans to leave DS9 for their own safety. Kira arranges for Ziyal to stay with several of her friends. Later, Sisko marries Rom and Leeta in a traditional Bajoran ceremony. Rom then tells her to go to Bajor- and not look back.
Benjamin Sisko's Program Sisko 197 is ready to be implemented. General Martok contacts the station with a report of a large Dominion fleet heading their way. However, his transmission is jammed by the Dominion and Dukat, Weyoun and Damar
Act Four
The Rotarran approaches DS9 and Sisko tells Martok to protect the Defiant. Worf then activates the weapons array. Kira arrives in Ops and protests Starfleet's refusal to turn the station over to her government. Sisko notes her protest and Kira reports for duty.
The Dominion fleet approaches the station. On the flagship, Dukat tells Damar he has been waiting for this moment for five years. Damar tells him that the will reclaim Terok Nor and Bajor. Weyoun chastises them, reminding them of the nonaggression pact. The fleet enters weapons range and Dukat gives the order to fire.
The battle begins and DS9 manages to destroy several Dominion ships and several that were closing on the Defiant. Damar and Weyoun are surprised that the station's shields are holding to which Dukat tells them he has found he wise never to underestimate the Federation's technical skill and Captain Sisko's resourcefulness.
Act Five
As the evacuation begins, Dax agrees to marry Worf when the war is over. Worf has been assigned to the Rotarran. Sisko addresses the station population who are remaining behind. He tells them that although the station has been lost, the attack on the station allowed the Federation and the Klingons to attack a Dominion shipyard on Torros III. He also tells them that no victory can make this moment any easier for him. He promises he will not rest until he stands with them again. Sisko is then transported to the Defiant. Garak is already aboard, as he would not be 'welcome' on the station. The Defiant and the Rotarran leave the station and cloak before they can be destroyed.
Kira and Odo arrive in Ops and transmit a message to the Dominion fleet, welcoming them to Deep Space Nine. Kira then activates Program Sisko 197, which disables the station. Quark, removing all aspects of the Federation's presence, tells his staff to break out the kanar and find some yamok sauce. Rom reports for duty in his old job as Assistant Manager for Policy and Clientele. He is now a spy for Starfleet. As Rom starts work he finds Jake, sitting nearby. He has stayed behind to report on the Dominion occupation. He theorises that the Dominion will not harm him, the son of the Emissary, lest they alienate their new Bajoran allies.
The Dominion boards DS9 and Odo, Kira and Quark arrive to meet them. Weyoun tells Odo he is honoured that he remained behind. Dukat and Weyoun visit Ops and the station commander's office where Sisko has removed all of his personal items, except one. As Dukat holds up Sisko's baseball, Weyoun asks what it is. It's a message. From Sisko…..He's letting me know…he'll be back.[[
On the Defiant, Sisko sits in contemplation of the impending war that will sweep across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The Defiant and the Rotarran decloak and move to join the large Federation and Klingon fleet. The Dominion War has begun…

Memorable quotes
"...one thing's for certain. We're losing the peace. Which means a war could be our only hope."- Benjamin Sisko
"As I see it, you have two choices. Either remove the mines... or we will take this station from you... and remove them ourselves."- Weyoun
"Let me tell you a story. I once knew a Cardassian, a dashing, handsome young man with a promising career. And then one day, through no fault of his own, he found himself exiled and alone, with nowhere to turn. But did he give up? No. Instead he struck upon a brilliant plan. Rather than fleeing for the rest of his life, he sought shelter in the one place no one expected him to go. In a stronghold of his people's most hated enemies. There, surrounded by hostile strangers, he built a life. And there, against all odds, against the merciless logic of the Universe itself, he thrived."
"By becoming the greatest tailor in the galaxy." .
- Ziyal, Garak
"Captain Sisko. I don't suppose you'd like to surrender and avoid unnecessary bloodshed?" "
"Absolutely not."
"I was hoping you'd say that."
-Dukat, Sisko
"Just remember, Bashir is spelled with an 'I'."- Julian Bashir
"Captain, as a major in the Bajoran Militia, I must officially protest Starfleet's refusal to turn over this station to my government."
"Your protest is duly noted."
"Good. Now that that's out of the way... Kira Nerys reporting for duty."
-Kira Nerys, Benjamin Sisko
"I've been waiting for this moment for five years."- Dukat
"I've found it wise never to underestimate the Federation's technical skill or Captain Sisko's resourcefulness."- Dukat
"When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else. Anywhere but here. But now, five years later, this station has become my home. And you've become my family. Leaving this place, leaving you, is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do... I promise, I will not rest until I stand with you again. Here. In this place. Where I belong."- Benjamin Sisko
(Dukat is holding Sisko's baseball)
"What is that?""
"A message. From Sisko."
"I don't understand."
"He's letting me know... he'll be back..."
-Weyoun and Dukat

With Big Monday looming...does anyone else worry about a letdown tomorrow? I really hope not but as well as this team plays, it wouldn't shock me if we lay a tirdburger. I really hope we throttle them and it's not my fault if we don't. Anyone else have this worry?
At Hilton? Absolutely not worried.
Maybe if we hadn't already lost to them this year.

Was just about to say this. If we had already beaten them this year, then ya, it might be a trap game but we lost and it's at home. They'll take care of business.
Originally Posted by RustShack

Yeah, that
There is a small percentage chance they are a bad matchup for us and that is why we lost in Lubbock. I give that about a 1% chance....but I'm saying there is a chance.
If we don't beat these guys by at least 30 I'll be disappointed. There will be blood.
If we win by 1, I will be worrying about Kansas, if we win by 25, I will still be worrying about Kansas. I don't think we will lose at home to the 9th team in the BigXII.
Not a chance.. I'm in no way banking on beating KU Monday, but not worried about this one..
It could be a trap game but having been beaten by Tech already, it shouldn't happen. I'm just more concerned with Tech's style of play than of ISU looking forward to KU.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
Revenge game at Hilton. We name the score and bring their tear ducts to life. They're welcome.
I'm not worried about Monday, either. I've been planning on that as a win all year.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Sold out Hilton..not worried one bit. If we start slow, the crowd will get them back in it.
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
Taking my 5yr old to his first game tomorrow. not worried.
Are you a member?
In a word, not a chance in hell.
I think we are playing much better now. I could see us easily going 5-0 down the stretch but most likley will go 4-1.

A lot of effort and resources have gone into fighting malaria which is the leading killer disease in the country.
To name just a few, the country has distributed insecticide-treated bed nets to every family throughout the country, counseling them through a media campaign to use them to fend off mosquito bites which could lead to malaria.
In Dar es Salaam, they are spraying swampy areas that are known to host mosquito larvae to cut back the mosquito population.
There are also house spraying campaigns in some parts of the country.
Medical experts have also been working on a vaccine against malaria for under-fives, who are the most vulnerable victims of the scourge in Africa.
The funding for these praiseworthy efforts has come from people and institutions of goodwill around the world, who sincerely want to help Africa rid itself of this debilitating disease.
Yet sadly there are people around the world in greedy pursuit of profit, have been making and dumping on world market, fake drugs for malaria treatment.
The Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority on Friday issued a warning to the public against the use of a fake malaria drug, selling under the name Eloquine (Quinine Sulphate 300mg USP) in some pharmacies and drugstores in the country.
The authority said it had seized 155 tins of the fake drugs in Dar es Salaam which were yet to be distributed, while another lot was impounded in Moshi and that a suspect had appeared in court.
The Director General Hiiti Sillo said the tablets are packed 1000 per tin. A tin was selling at between 50,000/- and 60,000/-.
He said the label on the tin indicated that the drug is made by Elys Chemical Industries Ltd of Kenya, on checking, with the firm, they established that it does not manufacture the drug with the trade name 'Eloquine'.
The company has registered in the country a drug by the name of Quinine Sulphate 300mg B.P with no trade name," said the Sillo.
There is more. According to TFDA laboratory investigations have established that the drugs lacked active ingredients of Quinine Sulphate for malaria treatment and therefore its use posed a risk to the human health.
Unfortunately, the World Health Organisation has previously observed that almost a third of anti-malaria drugs sold in Tanzania were substandard.
This means that at least three out of ten people prescribed to use anti-malarials in the country will be taking inferior medicines.
This has serious implications for the fight against malaria in the country. It defeats the multi-pronged fight unleashed against malaria.
Besides the fact that it contributes to making malaria resistant to the existing treatments, deaths are bound to rise for lack of appropriate treatment.
It is our expectation that TFDA will leave no stone unturned to nab the culprits and ensure that their network is destroyed before it does more harm to the good work being done against malaria.
The public must cooperate fully, knowing that success in exposing such rings is for the common good.
Under no circumstances should we allow malaria which is on the retreat to recover a dominant position.

Loni Coombs, former prosecutor and author of "You're Perfect ..." and Other Lies Parents Tell — published by Jay McGraw's publishing company, Bird Street Books — shares her six tips for effective listening for parents. "If you commit to practicing [these tips] — and it will take commitment — you will get to know your child better, and your child will open up more in the welcoming environment you have provided."
Six Tips for Effective Listening
- Face Your Children and Maintain Eye Contact while They Are Speaking
We're sitting here watching TV, and the kid comes in and wants to talk, and we never even look at him or her. We never give the courtesy of turning our body, saying, "I am listening with my whole body. I've turned my whole body to you." Think how much more they feel respected and acknowledged when you put everything aside, and turn and actually face them with your eyes and with your entire body.
- When They Want to Talk, Make Sure You're Available
This is very critical, because when there is a crisis, if you haven't been listening to all the little things, then when something big comes along, your child is not going to feel comfortable coming and talking to you at that time, either, because you haven't developed this habit of listening, being available, when the child wants to talk. You can also boost your child's self-confidence if you stop what you're doing when they want to talk.
- Be Aware of Your Tone and Facial Expressions
Kids are very aware of their parents facial expressions and tone, and they know right away if their parents are distracted, angry or irritated. All they have to do is see one little sign, and the kids will say, "I don't want to talk." So, really be aware if your tone is short, or you're frowning or rolling your eyes, because your kids are extremely sensitive to those things. Always remember: eye contact.
- Focus on What Your Child is Saying
Don't get distracted by your child's appearance or what your response is going to be. Listen to your child's spoken and unspoken messages, notice his or her body language and don't worry about the way he or she is speaking — understand what your child is saying. You're listening to try and see the world from his or her vantage point. Also, remain quiet and let your child speak for as long as it takes.
- Try Very Hard Not to Get Defensive
Some of the hardest, yet most important, things for your child to talk about to you may be said as a complaint or an attack. Try and keep quiet and let your child fully express his or her feelings.
- Reflect Your Child's Feelings
When your child tries to tell you something, really focus on what he or she is trying to express to you in terms of what he or she felt, and then put yourself in that position and reflect back to your child. You can say, 'What I think you're saying is you felt this way,' and describe it. Go back and forth until you are able to describe to your child's satisfaction his or her feelings and emotions.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) - A pickup truck rear-ended school bus 5097 Wednesday afternoon, carrying 32 students from Barack Obama Elementary School, according to a Prince George's County Fire Dept. spokesman.
The crash, on Rte. 301 at Swanson Road near the truck station, injured the pickup truck driver who was taken to a trauma center with serious non-life threatening injures.
The male bus driver was also transported to an area hospital for minor injures. Paramedics evaluated the students and only one needed to go to the hospital for a knee injury, according to the spokesman.
Students were reportedly picked up at the scene except for four students who were going back to the school to be picked up by their parents.

Baker City has gained quite a lot besides a new name in the past 20 years.
A McDonald's, for instance.
Although the city's new name is in fact its old name, resurrected after 79 years of oblivion.Here's a brief historical summary:
Baker City was founded in 1864 and incorporated, with that exact name, in 1874.
Baker City was derived in turn from Baker County, which is older still, having been created by the Oregon Legislature in 1862, just three years after statehood.
In both cases the namesake was Col. Edward Dickinson Baker, a U.S. Senator from Oregon and friend of President Abraham Lincoln.
Baker was killed in action during the Civil War.
Baker City maintained its two-word moniker, apparently to the general satisfaction of its citizens, until 1911, when voters decided to delete the "city."
That word remained in official exile, in the manner of a deposed dictator, for most of the rest of the century.
But then on Nov. 7, 1989, Baker voters, by a count of 1,752 to 1,149, released "city" for its triumphant return to letterheads, maps and other miscellaneous media.
Baker officially became Baker City on Jan. 1, 1990.
This was not, by the way, anything like a hasty reversal (not that any change which took 79 years to come about could reasonably be described as hasty. Unless you're a geologist).
Baker voters could have revived "city" back in November of 1984 but they weren't yet ready, and brevity, by a vote of 1,948 to 1,706, reigned for another five years.
We needn't apologize, in any event, for what might seem to outside observers our puzzling reluctance to take a consistent stand on something as vital as a name.
Because even though Baker City, taken at a casual glance, appears to have changed substantially since residents restored "city" to its original position, this place is, by a simpler but less visible measure, basically the same now as it was at the start of World War II.
That measure is population.
Among Oregon towns which today boast between 5,000 and 25,000 residents, Baker City is a statistical oddity.
And as a symbol of stability, we shame pretty much any city you'd care to name — even if ours has changed twice.
Since the 1940 U.S. Census, Baker City's population has staked out the narrow range between 9,140 and 9,986.
To put it another way, for almost three-fourths of a century Baker City has defied the demographic trend that has so dramatically transformed Oregon and, come to that, most of the nation.
Although, as I alluded, not even Baker City could thwart the fast-food industry.
To illustrate Baker City's unique refusal to grow in the manner Americans have come to expect, let's delve a bit deeper into history, to 1920.
In that year Baker City (although it was then early in its Baker-only phase), with a population of 7,729, was the largest town in Oregon east of the Cascades.
Today we rank 10th.
We have during the ensuing nine decades been surpassed both by cities that were almost as bustling as we were in 1920 — La Grande had 6,913 residents that year, Pendleton 6,837 — and by places that were mere villages back then — Hermiston at 647, Ontario at 2,039.
The only other Oregon city of similar size that has bucked the otherwise inexorable growth trend is Astoria.
Yet compared with Baker City's constancy, even Astoria's history seems the epitome of upheaval.
Astoria not only has shrunk — its current population of about 9,900 is far below its 1920 Census tally of 14,027 — but along the way it has fluctuated wildly while Baker City plodded along.
In 1940, for instance, Astoria was just slightly larger than Baker City — 10,389 to 9,342, about 10 percent.
But over the following decade Astoria widened its lead to 23 percent — 12,331 to 9,471.
This was due in part, I suspect, to the U.S. military's comparative interest in the two places during the war.
Astoria, being considerably closer to the Japanese fleet, attained a greater strategic importance than did landlocked Baker City. I doubt, anyway, that the U.S. Navy was particularly worried about the possibility that a Japanese destroyer or submarine would slip through the locks at Bonneville Dam, slink up the Snake and start lobbing shells from Hells Canyon.
The singular nature of Baker City's population trends, in comparison with other Oregon cities, has intrigued me for years.
But the matter of how this place has changed during the past 20 or so years, even as its numerical status has not, piqued my curiosity only last weekend, when my wife Lisa and I visited her two brothers and their families in a pair of Portland suburbs, Beaverton and Tigard.
Lisa and I walked several miles in each city. During our travels we passed hundreds of homes, almost all of which, I'm confident in claiming, were built after Jimmy Carter relinquished the White House to Ronald Reagan.
It occurred to me that had we made the identical journey in, say, 1980, we would have had to dodge Douglas-firs rather than Dodge Durangos, and been more likely to see a loose coyote than a leashed collie.
(Also, since Lisa would have been only a year old, I would have had to carry her.)
Baker City has not been immune, of course, to the spore-like spread of the four-bedroom, double-garage layout. Except around here the predominant shrub that had to be bulldozed was sagebrush instead of Scotch broom.
But even though Baker City's newer subdivisions — on the hill near the golf course, and between Cedar Street and the freeway — could be neatly excised and then sutured onto Beaverton without anyone noticing, the level of change that our developments represent is of such a vastly smaller scale that any comparison to the Portland metro area seems to me illogical, and a little silly.
The additions here since voters put "city" back on our name 20 years ago have been in the main incremental rather than wholesale.
The construction of Baker Towne Square, for instance, altered the landscape on East Campbell Street. But the change was subtle compared with what has happened during the same period in places such as Beaverton.
Building a grocery store across the street from another grocery store is quite a different thing than transforming a forested hill into a neighborhood of 500 homes, two mini-malls, an Olive Garden and an Applebee's.
It pleases me that much of what might be termed "development" in Baker City since 1989 has been designed to enrich the lives of people who already live here rather than to entice, or to accommodate, the hordes who might be coming.
The Leo Adler Memorial Parkway has made it much easier to enjoy the tranquil trilling of the Powder River.
The Baker Sports Complex is a pleasant place to listen to the ping of an aluminum bat striking a baseball or softball.
Even the sorts of work more intimately associated with suburban sprawl — the extension of D and Birch streets, for example — seem to me intended to make Baker City better, but not necessarily bigger.
There is, to be fair, an abundance of well-groomed ball fields and walking paths in Beaverton and Tigard, too — more per capita, probably, than in Baker City.
But it seems to me that Baker City residents are extraordinarily lucky in that they can revel in most of the urban amenities without having to endure many of the penalties.
It is a fine thing, at any rate, to live in a place where the phrase "gridlock on 217" rings in the ear with all the relevance of the news that rain is falling in Des Moines.

Butterfree (anime)
this wiki
Ash's Butterfree is a Bug/flying-type Pokémon owned by Ash. It was the first Pokémon Ash ever caught. He was released during the mating season when he fell in love with a pink Butterfree.
Butterfree was caught as a Caterpie and evolved to a [[Metapod. Metapod then evolved when defending Ash from a flock of Beedrill. He caught it only by throwing out a Poké Ball. He once traded his Butterfree for a Raticate, but he missed his Butterfree so much, so he traded back. It seems to be a male Butterfree and was released to start a family with its mate, a pink Butterfree. Before winning the heart of its mate, Butterfree saved a bunch of wild Butterfree from Team Rocket (this caused the pink Butterfree to start having feelings for him).
Butterfree's current location is unknown.

- Butterfree is the first Pokémon Ash captured, the first that evolves, the first to reach his final form, the first to be traded away (Ash still got him back), the first to have a confirmed gender, and first to be released.
- As a Caterpie, Rikako Aikawa voiced it in both the Japanese and English versions of the anime. When it evolved into a Metapod, though, Aikawa continued voicing it in the Japanese series while Eric Stuart who played Brock in the original 4-Kids series voiced Metapod. Upon evolving into Butterfree, Aikawa began playing the role in both versions once again.

LOS ANGELES-As they say, you can throw out all the statistics, which is a good thing for Notre Dame. The Irish can't compare to the Trojans and their majestic defense, which ranks No. 1 in scoring defense, allowing just 8.3 points per game. But this game is just as much about where Notre Dame's emotions are as its head coach fights to keep his job at his alma mater. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

As Alex Ben Block writes in The Hollywood Reporter, Roger Corman, at 86, is still cranking them out.
As he notes, "Roger Corman [. . .] is making new versions of eight low-budget horror films based on stories by 19th century American writer Edgar Allan Poe that he adapted and directed in the 1960s. House of Usher will be followed by The Pit and the Pendulum, Premature Burial, Tales of Terror, The Raven, The Haunted Palace [actually based on H.P. Lovecraft's novella The Case of Charles Dexter Ward], The Masque of the Red Death and The Tomb of Ligeia.
This time, Corman will produce but not direct the films, with the first to shoot in 2013, followed by two a year after that on budgets of $2 million to $2.5 million (the originals were shot for $250,000 to $350,000, not adjusting for inflation, on 15-day schedules). Like [the original versions, made for American International Pictures], his New Horizons Productions will not pay for rights because the source material is in the public domain.
The new productions will be self-financed by Corman's New Horizons Productions, which will give the films at least a short domestic theatrical release and offer international rights at the American Film Market. "Now being able to do them in 3D and with a lot of computer graphics, we can do things we never dreamed of doing before," he says. But that won't include more violence. "Poe always worked with the unconscious mind, and there's a lot of fantasy," he explains. It may include more erotic material, in keeping with Poe's approach, but Corman says there will probably still be no nudity.
Corman, honored at the first Governors Awards in 2009, says his biggest concern is replacing his legendary leading man Vincent Price, who died in 1993. Corman hopes to find a fiftysomething actor known from TV who, he says, can bring the same level of 'sensitivity and neuroticism that Vincent was able to bring.' Corman has Mike McClain, who wrote his last movie – The Haunted, a Chinese co-production shot in in that country — working on the Usher script. Already a living legend [. . .] why does Corman continue to work at his age? He replies with one of his typically to-the-point comments: 'I simply love making motion pictures.'"
Actually, Corman has already produced a low-budget remake of The Masque of the Red Death in 1989, directed by Larry Brand, toplined by Patrick Macnee and Adrian Paul. While nowhere nearly as effective as Corman's 1964 version, starring Vincent Price and Hazel Court, and immaculately photographed by the great Nicolas Roeg, it was still an interesting piece of work. But as Corman says, he simply can't stop making movies. At the very least, the films will prove an excellent training ground for perhaps the very last group of Corman's protégés, who will then go on to bigger and better projects. It's a return to the past, but I wish he was doing something new.
Then again, as a pre-sold franchise, the new Poe films should do well in the marketplace.

I'm a big believer in decentralizing. Power distribution (both electrical and political), farming/gardening (vermacrop), as well as cannabis. In the US we have had some decentralization in regards to beer making and as a result, we now have more varieties then we did 30 years ago when monolitic companies like Anheiser Busch ruled.
People are going to buy cannabis for their needs and desires. As it stands now in California, the medical scene seems to me to be very cool as the production of the cannabis sold in dispensaries is very decentralized as far as I can tell. I think this is good. The wealth is spread about much more evenly and consumers get a great variety.
The big problem will lie in regulation. If the Feds, allow or are forced by a Judge to, reclassify cannabis, then of course major corporations are going to move in and homogenize the market with the wealth of sales going to a few.
So the legal status right now is good for variety and decentralization, but people are still getting busted and that is not on at all.
Eventually I feel cannabis, raw cannabis, will be rescheduled by the feds someday and the market will be flooded by coroprate crap. But I think the small growers will still have a place. But who knows. My crystal ball has been nipping at my bud and is a bit cloudy atm.
As I've mentioned in other posts, I will be starting a topic on the medical cannabis scene here in California. I have to wait for a few things to get sorted, so expect it in about October/Novemember.
For now and this topic, I would like to open the floor to the medical cannabis scene both here in the states and abroad. How it is working, how it is not. Criticisms, commentary, critiques and general musings are encouraged.

CLEVELAND -- Two new studies reveal that the United States Preventative Services Task Force's (USPSTF) recommendation to no longer screen women ages 40-49 for breast cancer using mammograms has begun to negatively affect the number of yearly mammograms performed in this age group and thus decrease the benefits of early detection.
Researchers at the University Hospitals at Case Medical Center conducted a retrospective review to determine the potential impact of forgoing screening mammograms in this patient population. Dr. Donna Plecha was very concerned for her patients.
"We know that when patients are screened earlier, they have a better prognosis for detection and treatment." says Dr. Donna Plecha.
In the study at the University Hospitals at Case Medical Center, out of the 524 biopsies performed, 108 cases of cancer were diagnosed. Cancers found in the 40-49-year-old patients who underwent screening mammography presented at a much earlier stage of breast cancer than those patients who did not have screening mammograms.
After the USPSTF delivered their recommendations in November 2009, researchers at the University of Colorado saw a significant drop in mammograms in women in the 40-49 age range.
"In the nine months after the guidelines, we saw 205 fewer women in the 40-49 age group than we did the previous year," says Dr. Lara Hardesty, lead researcher for this study.
Dr. Plecha believes that if primary physicians and patients begin following the USPSTF's guidelines, survival rates in this population will decline.

Jana DeLeon grew up among the bayous and small towns of southwest Louisiana. She's never actually found a dead body or seen a ghost, but she's still hoping.
Jana started writing in 2001 and published five single title mystery/romances before turning her attention to category romance. She focuses on murderous plots set deep in the Louisiana bayous and the secrets that lie just beneath the surface of small towns. By day, she writes very boring technical manuals for a software company in Dallas.
Her first book for Harlequin received a 4 1/2 star review and was named a Top Pick from RT Book Reviews.
