Ha! There it is. After years of using the Bremerton-Seattle run as a glad rag and trying to rub it out of the system, the chickens have come home to roost.
Obama Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has seen the Bremerton ferry.
In case you haven't heard, of the $60 million bucks reserved for ferries in the stimulus plan, Washington State Ferries got $750,000. So, basically nothing. Not enough to pay for a year's supply of moist towelettes for the Bainbridge riders. Governor Gregoire is shocked: "I am extremely disappointed, and I am asking questions. We have the largest ferry fleet in America, and we didn't get anything. I don't get it."
Well, you should. Obama's Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, (you know, the guy passing out the checks), made a visit to Bremerton last week for the opening of the new tunnel in Bremerton (the kids are calling it Norm Dicks' Bremerton Underground Transportation Tunnel, aka Norm Dicks' BUTT.) And The Seattle Times is reporting that LaHood rode the Bremerton ferry while he was in town. KA BOOM!
What happened? You use the toilet paper? Your boat not show up? Did "Wind Damage" poke a hole in the side of the boat?
I can just hear David Moseley and Paula Hammond trying to talk you out of the trip:LaHood: I hear the Bremerton ferry run is as beautiful as these waterfront parks.
Moseley: Ah, yeah, well, but, you know, there isn't another boat for three or four hours and the drive to Bainbridge is pretty nice. Plus, it's kind of a tradition to drive from Bremerton to Bainbridge to catch the ferry. It's almost more convenient.
LaHood: Three hours? Hot damn, I'm gonna love me some all-you-can-eat buffet at New Delhi.
Hammond: Um, Mr. Hood, one secretary to another, I think you'll like Bainbridge. It's kind of a gated community.
LaHood: Gated community? I'm in the Obama administration, not just another affluent, self-important, out-of-touch liberal!
Moseley: Mr. Hood.
LaHood: Please, call me secretary.
Moseley: I think the Bainbridge ferrry is much more representative of the future of WSF.
LaHood: Oh, please. What? They don't have soft pretzels on the Bremerton boat? Now come on, I'm jonesing for a plate of Tandoori Chicken.

Truth and Propaganda in Politically Correct America
Recorded: Tuesday, August 14, 2001
Although comedian George Carlin's infamous routine, "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV," has become outdated, today many ideas are considered too 'politically incorrect' to discuss in polite society. According to popular Los Angeles talk-radio host Larry Elder, many sacred cows- about racism and sexism, health care, welfare, education, the family, drug laws, the media, crime, gun control, and more- are soft-headed distortions that have worsened America's social problems. If "the truth shall make you free," then, says Elder, these myths need a serious reality check- before we forget what truth and freedom look like. Larry Elder discussed what's really wrong with America and how a free people, rather than an intrusive government, can fix it.

Tiananmen Square: 10 Years Later
Recorded: Wednesday, June 16, 1999
In 1989, during a large peaceful student demonstration in Beijings Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government deployed its military to massacre hundreds of unarmed students and other civilians in order to stop a growing movement for democratization and individual freedom. Since then, tens of thousands who have spoken out have been imprisoned, tortured and killed, and the government has refused to even admit that such atrocities have occurred. This special Independent Policy Forum will feature three outstanding experts, including two of the leaders of the original Chinese student movement. They will discuss the events then and since, the current movement in china for freedom, and the implications of current Chinese government policies for Americans.

Former officials with New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's Colorado campaign split into different camps Thursday, with some endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton and another backing Barack Obama.
Lawrence Martinez, a retired official with the Graphics International Union, and former state senator Polly Baca — both state co-chairs for Richardson, who abandoned his presidential bid last week — threw their support behind Clinton.
Meanwhile, Tom Strickland, another former Richardson co-chairman in Colorado, endorsed Obama.
Former Denver Councilwoman Ramona Martinez emphasized Clinton's experience. "She will know what to do," said Martinez, who served in Bill Clinton's administration. "She has the experience behind her."
In October, Ramona Martinez told the Associated Press she was endorsing Richardson because he was the only candidate who could beat a Republican.
Strickland served as Colorado's U.S. Attorney from 1999 to 2000 and ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate in 1996 and 2002. "Barack Obama's record of change is something that Americans can believe in," he said in a statement.
Also Thursday, Denver City Councilman Rick Garcia and Tom Downey, the 2000 Colorado director for the Al Gore-Joe Lieberman campaign, endorsed Obama.
Of the 70 delegates Colorado will send to this summer's Democratic convention in Denver, 14 are "superdelegates," who do not have to go through the traditional selection process and can support any candidate they choose.
Thus far, eight are uncommitted, four have endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton, and two have endorsed Barack Obama.

Britney Spears' new album, Femme Fatale , is a chugging dance-pop album full of sexual innuendo and thumping beats, made even sexier by Spears' flirty singing style. It's Spears' latest release since 2008's Circus, which sped straight up the charts as soon as Britney's dedicated fans could get their hands on it.
While Spears remained somewhat under the radar for her last release, this time around, the pop star has been on a media blitz, and as of press time, Spears had the #1 album on iTunes. Hits Daily Double Senior Editor Roy Trakin explained to MTV News that judging from sales so far, Spears will likely have the #1 album by next week.
"We're going out with the projection 275,000 to 300,000 [albums sold]; probably below label projections but those are always inflated. I think everything's kicking in. There seems to be a lot of press attention," he said of the album. "I think this is still a healthy total for her given the market and given where her career has been. This is a good showing."
Not only have sales been strong, music critics have also been loving the album. "The critical reception seems to be fairly positive, as well. That doesn't have much to do with sales, but the general feeling is positive. She's gonna be #1," Trakin said. "300,000 is the over-under."
This week, some of Spears' biggest competition comes from Adele, whose 21 has been selling consistently well for weeks, Jennifer Hudson's newest release, I Remember Me, which sits at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, Chris Brown, whose album F.A.M.E. is currently the #1 album in the country, and this week's other big new release, Wiz Khalifa's debut album, Rolling Papers.
"Given the state of the market right now, this will probably be, I would think, this will end up being the second biggest debut of the year. Only Adele would be larger this year," Trakin said. "That's pretty good, actually. The real big story this week is Wiz Khalifa with Rolling Papers, with between 190,000 and 215,000."
Is there any chance of an upset that forces Spears out of the #1 spot? Trakin explains that that is unlikely, saying, "The Wiz Khalifa showing is strong, but it's about 100,000 below what Britney's gonna do."
To see what Spears has to say about the album and to watch her as she puts the finishing touches on it, don't miss the "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special, airing Sunday, April 3, at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.

Reports today suggest that Manchester United's long-term target Ander Herrera has passed a medical at the club and that the deal to join United will be finalised in the coming days.
It's all happened really quickly for once. Manchester United seemingly went cold on the player after trying to sign him last summer, in a proposed deal which became what can only be described as a debacle.
At around £29 million and without a senior international experience you'd have to ask whether he's worth the money. Manchester United certainly need a creative midfielder to add some spice and invention to their midfield.
But some might ask if Herrera has been signed because Manchester United failed to snare Cesc Fabregas, who recently went to Chelsea.
Nevertheless, he looks like a step in the right direction for a club which has a paucity of creativity in the midfield since the departure of Paul Scholes. If he can impose himself physically in The Premier League then we could be looking at the next Fabregas.
Manchester United fans reacted to the news with varying degrees of satisfaction. Let's have a look at some of those comments from Twitter:

Business Backpack
After years of carrying a "briefcase" I switched over to a backpack four years ago, mostly so I could "pair" it with my B&R carry-on bag when in transit. I chose a well-known but much cheaper brand and did find it better than a briefcase. But, this year I bought this Briggs & Riley Excursion Backpack, mostly made as an "image" upgrade. I needed to look a bit more professional, and the backpack I was carrying was just too "youthful" and casual. I benefited in several ways other than just cosmetic, by upgrading to Briggs & Riley.
First of all, the backpack has more structure. It's more rigidly made so it doesn't need to be packed full in order to stand upright when unattended. It doesn't flop over when unpacked which minimizes the risk of smaller items falling out when packing and unpacking. That's a huge plus when traveling. I can't afford to lose anything while traveling.
The bag is well designed with plenty of compartments, large, medium and small, to accommodate a wide variety of items. I love the side pockets. The gusseted one holds my chargers, battery packs, cables and adapters. The other holds my Cliff bars and snacks. The medium-sized front pocket is great for headphone, notepads, pens and styluses, with dividers to keep everything organized.
The larger inside pocket can hold everything from an extra pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and/or a large travel pillow (rolled) but it also had a padded compartment for my iPad and/or MacBook Air (or similar laptop).
It's easy to load and unload with the large zippered opening. I love the large flap as it allows easy access but also makes it difficult for someone to unzip without my knowing it, when walking through a crowd.
The straps and webbing is complicated but once adjusted, it has worn very comfortably. I am very pleased, although I have been tempted to remove a few of the smaller support straps to keep them from dangling and tangling up in the airport security conveyor.
All of the materials and hardware are of exceptional qualify and typical of Briggs & Riley products. I started carrying B&R over 20 years ago and wouldn't even consider a competitor's products. Previously, I only carried Tumi, but after having to deal with their non-existent warranty and repair process, I chose B&R and am a convert for life!!
The Excursion Backpack is made for road-warriors who travel a lot and carry essentials that they need to access quickly and easily, while on the go. It's a very professional and classy looking backpack. I frequently receive compliments and inquiries about the backpack from senior executives who appreciate the quality and reliability offered by Briggs & Riley.
There are larger and more expensive B&R backpacks but this model serves me very well. FYI: my domestic travel carry-on bad is a Briggs & Riley Baseline Commuter Expandable Upright, and it's the PERFECT carry-on bag for one to three day domestic travel. These bags look great together. I highly recommend them both.

excursion Backpack
This pack was all I needed to hop a plane, a train, a car and back on a cross-country trip. When hiking in the Olympics this summer it turned the heads of several Seattle-ites: "Ooooh, where did you get that pack????" they exclaimed. It's smart looking and smartly designed. Lightweight, yet strong, it is now my favorite pack for the weekend or a minimalist week-long journey.

Very Solid
As mentioned already about the sound quality. You definitely got to adjust the volume as it can get really loud or really soft. The picture quality is amazing though. The home setting might be a little dark. I prefer the movie setting or sports setting to get a little more light. It's a very good deal for the price they offer. Many HDTV's seem to struggle with sound quality but at least this one has some bass to it. And like I said. It's an easy fix by changing the volume for each program or a loud part of a program. Definitely recommended.

- "I can't right now, I have a little problem I have to bury..."
- ―Ursula over the phone.
Ursula is a hitchhiker that can be found by any character in north of the Alamo Sea.
Once the player has found her, she asks the player to take her back to her house, El Gordo Lighthouse. During the drive, it becomes quite apparent that Ursula is unstable and possibly mentally ill. If found as Trevor, the player can bring her to the Altruist Cult if it hasn't had four people yet, but if taken home, she gives the player a number and tells you to call her sometime. From that point, Ursula acts as a Booty Call to which ever character found her, and she can be called at anytime.
Ursula is a mentally unstable woman who may have had a unhappy childhood. She comments about her life during the drive to her house, she is also quick tempered, tends to repeat and reverse words. Ursula mentions on how the last person to pick her up choked to death on his own hand, implying that she killed the person.
Trevor's relationship with Ursula is surprisingly good. She acts the same as Trevor, and most likely is a cold-blooded killer as well, she mentions poisoning birds and a gardener who got ill and "fell" of the cliff near her home. Franklin's relationship with her isn't as good as Trevor's, Franklin acts mostly shocked from the events she tells him about her life and does his best to not try and offend.

The Flavour of Anatolia
Evans, James Allan, Contemporary Review
Turkey is full of surprises. The past of the Turkish countryside stretches back through the histories of forgotten ethnic groups whom we know only from what archaeological digging has turned up in the last century or so. Hittites, Luwians, Phrygians, Lycians, Trojans. Troy and the Trojans at least are well known. The Iliad of Homer is the first achievement of European literature, and it describes the exploits of the Greek hero Achilles and his rival whom he kills in single combat, the Trojan Hector. The discovery of Troy by Heinrich Schliemann in 1871 marks the start of Greek prehistoric archaeology, and that much cannot be denied him though his techniques are antipathetic to modern practitioners of archaeological science and even his integrity has been questioned. The site of Troy is not beautiful or even striking, but it attracts tour busloads and at its entrance there stands a replica of the Wooden Horse. The Turks know what will strike a chord. The Turkish recreation of the Wooden Horse is imaginative but instantly familiar. It is a part of the European literary heritage.
The excavations of Schliemann and his more competent successors at Troy have not quite rescued the Trojan War from myth and delivered it firmly into the purview of history, but at least the Greeks did migrate to Asian Turkey, and they built cities along the Ionian coast which prospered in the classical period. There was still a large Greek population there until 1922, when the Turks expelled the Greeks and Greece did likewise with Turks in Greece, except for a handful left in Thrace. The Lydians dominated the area before the Persian Empire conquered it; the last Lydian King, Croesus, was so famous for his wealth that the saying, 'As rich as Croesus' is still in current usage. He was warned by the oracle at Delphi that if he picked a quarrel with Persia, a great empire would fall. So, full of confidence, he crossed the Halys River, attacked Persia and saw his own empire capitulate. Persia took over and its dominion rapidly stretched to the Aegean Sea. I crossed the Halys River myself this spring with a group of students from the American School of Classical Studies, on the road to Sivas. Close by it is the campus of one of Turkey's new universities. It is a much more impressive stream than the Rubicon in Italy, which Julius Caesar crossed, announcing that the die was cast, but it still falls short of its reputation.
Persia tried and failed to expand into Greece itself, and a century and a half later, Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia, struck back, overthrew the Persian monarchy and conquered a vast swath of Asian territory stretching into India. The Greeks wasted no love on the Macedonians, but it was Alexander and his Macedonian successors who spread Greek culture over the area Persia once dominated, submerging the ancient native cultures. With the conquest by the Roman Empire, the rulers changed but not much else. But Rome left a deep imprint in its eastern provinces. The people developed an attachment to Rome. Christianity reinforced the loyalty, for the new Christian capital of the empire was Constantinople, and the concept of separation of church and state was entirely foreign. The Roman Empire in western Europe collapsed, but in the east, a Greek empire which claimed a lineage going back to imperial Rome controlled Anatolia until 1071. In that year, an army of Seljuk Turks utterly defeated a Byzantine army at Manzikert and captured an emperor.
But it is the small surprises in Anatolia which the traveller remembers. Afyon some 250 km south-west of Ankara was notorious for its opium production a couple of centuries ago. 'This town,' asserts the Blue Guide, 'has another more sinister name redolent of past sins - Afyonkarahisar, the Black Fortress of Opium'. Its poppy fields once supplied the Chinese market until the poppies of British India pushed their product out. The poppy fields now grow sunflowers. But in the little museum at Afyon, tucked away in a case displaying its numismatic collection, is a coin dating back a couple of thousand years. …

Acquisition Of Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. By Joh. A. Benckiser Group May Not Be In Caribou's Shareholders' Best Interests
SAN DIEGO and MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins Umeda LLP are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law by members of the board of directors of Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBOU) in connection with their efforts to sell the company to an affiliate of Joh. A. Benckiser Group. Caribou Coffee is the second-largest company-owned coffeehouse operator in the United States. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111014/ROBBINSUMEDALOGO)On December 17, 2012, Caribou Coffee and the Benckiser Group announced they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the Benckiser Group will acquire Caribou Coffee through an all cash tender offer that valued the company at $324.8 million. Caribou Coffee shareholders will receive $16 per share. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2013. The Board of Directors' Actions May Prevent Caribou Coffee Shareholders from Receiving the Maximum Value for Their Stock Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at Caribou Coffee is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders. The $16 per share offer is substantially below the $18.84 per share price the Company's stock traded as recently as April 2, 2012, and is well below recent target prices set by multiple analysts. Specifically, an analyst at Craig-Hallum has maintained a target price of $19 per share since August 7, 2012, while an analyst at Longbow Research set a $17 per share price on December 12, 2012. Further, on November 8, 2012, Caribou Coffee announced its third quarter 2012 financial results, reporting earnings per share estimates that exceeded analysts' for the eighth consecutive quarter. The company also reported coffeehouse sales of $61.0 million, a 4% increase compared to the third quarter of 2011 and that franchise sales for the third quarter 2012 increased to $4.3 million, or 45%, compared to the third quarter of 2011. Given these facts, the firm is examining whether the board of directors' decision to sell Caribou Coffee for $16 per share is fair to shareholders and it maximizes the value for their shares. Caribou Coffee shareholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit against the company to secure the best possible price for shareholders and to ensure disclosure of material information so shareholders can make an informed decision on whether to tender their shares in the tender offer. Caribou Coffee shareholders interested in information about their rights and potential remedies can contact Darnell R. Donahue at (800) 350-6003, email@example.com, or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website. Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

Illegals Fastest Growing Segment of Foreign-Born Population
According to recent study presented at the U.S. Census Bureau Conference a while back, "A body of research done over the past five years has consistently shown that the fastest growing segment of the foreign-born population consists of undocumented immigrants (Massey and Bartley, 2005; Passel and Suro, 2005; Passel, 2005)." Looking at the years under examination, James Fulford comments: "The period of time in which illegals became the fastest growing segment of the population was what we generally refer to as 'The Bush Administration.'" Don't tell anyone who thinks Bush was to the right of Reagan on illegal immigration!

These are common symptoms of Kawasaki disease:
The symptoms of Kawasaki disease can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The healthcare provider will ask about your child's symptoms and health history. He or she will give your child a physical exam. A child must have several of the symptoms to be diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. Your child may need tests, such as:
Your child may also need many lab tests, including:
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Your child's healthcare provider may prescribe aspirin or intravenous (IV) gamma globulin (IVIG). Corticosteroids and other medicines may also be prescribed if aspirin and IVIG don't work well. If your child develops heart problems, the provider may send you to a pediatric cardiologist. This is a doctor with special training to treat children's heart problems. Your child may need medicine, procedures, or surgery.
Do not give your child aspirin without first talking with your child's provider.
Most children with Kawasaki disease get better within a few weeks. But serious complications may occur. Those involving the heart include:
Kawasaki disease may also affect other body systems. This includes the nervous, digestive, and urinary systems.
If your child has a coronary artery aneurysm, he or she will need echocardiograms, sometimes for several years after the illness. Your child may need more treatment, including blood thinners to prevent clots. It is important to keep follow-up visits with your child's healthcare provider, even if your child is feeling well.
There is a risk for early coronary artery disease after having Kawasaki disease, including early heart attacks. Your child will need to follow a heart-healthy lifestyle for life. This includes eating healthy foods, getting regular exercise, and not smoking. Your child should have regular follow-up with a cardiologist throughout his or her life.
Talk with your child's healthcare provider about what to expect for your child.
Call your child's healthcare provider if your child has the symptoms of Kawasaki disease. If your child is diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, keep all follow-up appointments. Also watch for signs or symptoms of complications, including:

Hi. My son was diagnosed with ADHD in 2nd grade by school and a psychologist well on Wednesday we took him to PED for ADHD check well the PED put him on another MED with his strattera well he suggested for whatever reason to take him back to see a psychologist, again. What for is my question it's not like his ADHD has dissappeared right? He has only been on 1 medication so far and this new one called vyvance along with his strattera which he will be starting in the morning. Anyway my question is "What is taking him to a psychologist again going to accomplish? Also and "What's the point in taking him before I know if this new med is going to work?" I feel like ADHD is confusing. I want what is best for him and I know I DO NOT want him to be on tons of different meds. Please help...
New here w/13 yo son with adhd question.

I don't see any reason for that either. Once diagnosed, he shouldn't have a need for a psychologist again. Doctors use to think that some children outgrew ADHD during puberty, but I think many have changed their opinion on this, now. I think they have concluded now that the behaviors you see might change. I'd see if the new meds work first before making any appointments.

Germantown - Before going out to bid on capital projects planned for 2013, the Village Board on Monday reviewed the list to see if any could wait until next year.
The finance department was directed to go out for bid on all capital projects approved in the 2013 budget except for one.
The board decided, 5-4, to push back adding traffic control cameras at the intersection of County Q and Appleton Avenue until next year. This project was estimated to cost $30,000. The village budgeted $1.2 million to borrow in 2013; however, this amount is dependent on project bids.
"As we are preparing to do the new capital projects bonding or note to get equipment costs covered for the year, we wanted affirmation from the board of which are staying and which are going," said village Finance Director Kim Rath.
The Village Board will vote on each capital project in February and March once costs are finalized. Rath wanted to ensure staff is not going out to spend time bidding projects the board will turn down anyway. By cutting the project Monday, staff will save time that could have been wasted.
Capital projects include work on road maintenance and infrastructure projects.
Implementing traffic control cameras was to make traffic flow more efficiently as the current system at the County Q and Appleton Avenue can fail from time to time.
"At times we've had failure of detections, so you haven't had traffic flowing at efficient rates and cameras are new technology that all intersections will have," Streets Department Superintendent Jay Olszewski said.
Currently, the Street Department staff knows through complaints or monitoring of the intersection if the traffic detectors in place are working effectively. Olszewski said they can push the project off for another year, but should it need to be fixed in 2013 they will come back to the Village Board.
Trustees Shane Daniels, Jeffrey Hughes and David Baum, as well as Village President Dean Wolter voted against removing this item from the capital projects list as it had been included in the 2013 budget.

Most folks agree the holidays are about spending time with your family. However, insults and spiritual-moment stabbings aren't usually part of the equation.
*See Also: The Daily Weekly's Top 20 Stupid Criminal Stories of 2012
But that's exactly what the King County Prosecutor's Office says took hold of one family this Christmas Eve, and 24-year-old Bradley P. Courville of Auburn has been charged with second-degree murder because of it. Authorities say Courville stabbed his 26-year-old cousin, Oliver Quinn, to death early on the morning of Dec. 24, angered by the fact Quinn apparently called him a "bitch." During his arrest, according to the Seattle PI, Courville told responding officers the murder happened amidst what he called a "spiritual" moment.
As noted by the Levi Pulkinnen of the PI, in addition to fatally stabbing his cousin in the neck with a butcher knife, Courville stands accused of accosting and attempting to disarm a police officer during the interrogation process.
All of it adds up to one bizarre and tragic Christmas story.
It all started after police responded to a report of a stabbing in the 4000 block of Auburn Way South at approximately 1 a.m. Christmas Eve morning. When police arrived, Quinn was dead, and Courville was nowhere to be found ... at least for the moment.
Citing charging documents, the PI notes:
Police subsequently spoke with a witness to the killing who said Courville had stabbed his cousin, an Auburn police detective told the court. Courville emerged from some shrubbery nearby and turned himself in to police.
According to charging documents, Courville admitted that he killed his cousin while experiencing a "spiritual" moment. Courville allegedly told police he stabbed Quinn after the other man called him [a bitch].
Midway through the interview with detectives, Courville threw a cup of coffee at an officer inside the interview room in an effort to escape, the Auburn detective continued.
Courville turned off the light inside the room and struggled with the officer, eventually managing to wrest his duty sidearm from its holster, the detective told the court. The officer managed to regain control of the gun with the help of several detectives.
According to the PI, as of Thursday evening Courville remained in jail on $1 million bail. In addition the second-degree murder charges, prosecutors have also charged Courville with disarming a police officer and third-degree assault stemming from his subsequent altercation with police during the interview process.

Army civilian honored with 'Black Engineer of the Year Award'
February 23, 2009
WARREN, Mich. Ac"a,! For Christopher Scott success has never been an option. It has always been a choice and that drive for excellence has been recognized.
Scott, a Detroit native, has been selected for a 2009 Black Engineer of the Year Award in the Modern-Day Technology Leaders category and attended the BEYA Conference Feb. 18-22, 2009 in Baltimore, Md.
He is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command's (RDECOM's) Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in Warren, Mich. He was one of only two members from RDECOM to receive the honor.
"I was very anxious to find out if I won. I put a lot of work into my application and I really wanted to see it pay off," Scott remarked. "I knew it was very competitive, but I knew I had a great chance. When I found out that I was selected I was very much honored."
Black Engineer of the Year Awards recognize individuals who have achieved exceptional career gains in government and industry, in lifetime achievement and in pioneering feats.
The category of Modern-Day Technology Leaders honors men and women of color who are demonstrating outstanding performance and will shape the future course of engineering, science and technology.
Scott attended Cass Technical High School in Detroit and earned his B.S in electrical engineering from the University of Detroit Mercy. He is currently working on his master's degree at Lawrence Technological University.
"Coming up through the Detroit Public Schools systems and making it to this point, I just want to show kids that applying yourself to education can lead to great things," Scott pointed out. "I want to be an example for these kids to look up to and winning an award like this really adds power to the words I tell them."
Just to be nominated was a terrific thrill for the 26-year-old, but actually winning an award is something that Scott says will stay with him for the rest of his life.
"This is something that is really going to stick with me. I am very excited to go to the conference and be among all the great people in the engineering field. It is a great honor to be recognized beside these people," remarked Scott. "This is truly something that I will remember for the rest of my life."
In addition to his work with TARDEC, Scott also donates much of his free time serving his community. He participates in anti-crime and educational projects within Detroit.

Description The Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services is dedicated to providing health and social services to residents of all ages through a myriad of programs. For the first time in decades, all Health & Human Services divisions are housed at one location, creating greater ease for residents in need of support. The Health Campus is now located at 199 Summit Avenue.
In September 2013, Mayor Fulop signed onto the Mayor's Wellness Campaign, pledging to help Jersey City residents lead healthier lives and reduce illnesses associated with obesity. HHS reinforced that pledge through action, expanding services and community outreach in several areas including: Fitness & Movement - Jersey City is a recent Gold Medal Winner of First Lady Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move' Campaign for Cities.Community Engagement - In 2014, HHS launched the Partnership for a Healthier JC movement. The goal of the partnership is to expand and strengthen HHS collaborations with community groups and institutions to develop a blueprint for greater overall health in Jersey City and grants are being sought towards that end. This new movement has fostered stronger and more goal oriented collaborations around healthy food access, in particular. Here are just a few examples: Farmers Markets – Answering the call for greater ease in the permit process for Farmers Markets in Jersey City, new legislation was formulated and passed. The legislation not only streamlines the permit process, but sets guidelines to insure that Farmers Markets meet USDA standards.Download Farmers Markets & Nutritional Information . Urban Agriculture – In year one, the Partnership for a Healthier JC formation resulted in the establishment of four urban farms which included agricultural training for senior citizen and public housing resident 'farmers' as well as HHS staffing. (Volunteer Opportunity!)Adopt A Lots – HHS has strengthened our commitment to Adopt A Lots in Jersey City by securing a $20,000 grant from the Horizon Foundation for the provision of supplies like mulch and gardening tools to Adopt A Lot organizations who beautify and green spaces in need of improvement. Read more about our Adopt A Lot program! (Volunteer Opportunity! - Gardening)Cooking Matters Tours at the Store (CMATS) - HHS continues to expand healthy food access by conducting Cooking Matters Tours at the Store (CMATS) – this is made possible through a grant from Share Our Strength, a national non-profit, through the No Kid Hungry Campaign." (Volunteer Opportunity! – Get Free Training & Guide Supermarket Tours)Volunteer Opportunities – There are three volunteer opportunities through HHS, centered around Healthy Food Access and Urban Agriculture. If you'd like to volunteer, please call (201)547-6800. During enrollment periods, HHS provides enrollment assistance and eduction for residents who wish to enroll through the Affordable Care Act. The enrollment period is currently closed and will reopen in fall. Some of the Department's traditional services include the Division of Health, Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) Program, Prevention Oriented System for Child Health (PorSHe) ; Lead Poisoning Prevention.; Immunization Clinic; and Preventive Medicine Clinic (Treatment of STDs and Pre and Post HIV Testing Counseling)Other programs include: Health Education; Mandated Environment and Public Health Care Activities; the Division of Senior Affairs and Office of Senior Affairs; Summer Food; Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP); Animal Control, and the Division of Health and Jersey City Alliance to Combat Drug and Alcohol Abuse. The Department of Health & Human Services is also an active and contributing member of the Mayor's Quality of Life Task Force, insuring quality of life issues and community hazards are addressed. Through its programs the Department of Health & Human Services aims to protect the health and well being of every Jersey City resident through the provision of traditional senior and child care, including nutrition, immunizations and more. Most recently, HHS is moving towards the development of a blueprint for greater physical and mental health in our City, aimed at prevention and meaningful collaborations.

So, that Girl Trouble deal is pretty funny, eh? It wouldn't be a Sub Pop event without a little salt thrown in the wound for good meaure! Personally, I'm pleased as shit with the lineup they put together (Beachwood F'n Sparks!) It's actually better than I expected, probably cuz I wasn't placing all my bets on a Soundgarden or TAD reunion, or anything like that.
BUT...that doesn't mean there aren't bands I wouldn't mind seeing. So, if any of the following bands feel like joining Girl Trouble in playing uninvited somewheres in Marymoor Park, I'd enjoy it very much...
Big Chief
Saint Etienne
Scud Mountain Boys
Zen Guerilla
Six Finger Satellite
Plexi (just because...)
Any takers?
