Seattle Form of Government
Seattle is a Charter City with a Mayor-Council form of government. The Mayor is directly elected by the voters and most executive departments report to the Mayor. There are nine City Councilmembers, two of whom are elected at-large, with the other seven elected by district. The only other elected position is the City Attorney, who is also elected at-large. The regular term of all offices is four years.
Candidates for these offices must be U.S. Citizens, registered voters in the City of Seattle at the time they file their declaration of candidacy, and able to read and write the English language.
All City office elections are non-partisan, which means the top two vote-getters in the primary election are placed on the general election ballot. This is true regardless of whether or not one candidate received a majority of the primary vote. If two people or less file declarations of candidacy for any of these offices, that office does not appear on the primary election ballot, but does appear on the general election ballot. Parties do not nominate candidates to appear on the ballot and the ballots do not identify the candidates by party. Parties can and do endorse and support certain candidates, but play no other role in nominating candidates or determining who is placed on the primary or general election ballot.
Ballot issues may appear on your ballot in the primary, general or special election. Those issues are decided in the election where they appear.
Districts, Wards and Precincts
The offices of Mayor and City Attorney are elected at-large in Seattle, there are no districts or wards for those two offices.
Seattle City Council Positions 1 through 7 are elected by district. Positions 8 and 9 are elected at-large.
More information on the 7 City Council Districts can be found at the Seattle City Clerk.

Proposition 1
Simple majority (RCW 35.61.040)
City of Seattle
Proposition Number 1
Seattle Park District
The City of Seattle Proposition 1 concerns formation of the Seattle Park District, a metropolitan park district.
This proposition would create a metropolitan park district under Chapter 35.61 RCW, called the Seattle Park District, to fund, maintain, operate and improve parks, community centers, pools, and other recreation facilities and programs. Its boundaries would be the City of Seattle's boundaries and its board would comprise the Seattle City Councilmembers. The District could levy property taxes, currently limited to 75¢ per $1,000 of valuation; and could contract with the City to perform certain functions.
For the formation of a metropolitan park district to be governed by the members of the Seattle City Council serving in an ex officio capacity as the Board of Commissioners of the Seattle Park District.
Against the formation of a metropolitan park district.
Proposition 1
City Attorney's Explanatory Statement for "Seattle Park District" measure placed on the August 5, 2014, ballot.
Seattle Proposition 1, if approved, creates the Seattle Park District, a metropolitan park district with the same boundaries as the City of Seattle. The Seattle Park District would be a distinct municipal corporation with all the powers granted by state law in RCW chapter 35.61, available at: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=35.61.
The governing body of the District would be the councilmembers on the Seattle City Council. Among the District's powers is the ability to levy an annual property tax, up to $0.75 per thousand dollars of assessed value (or $330 per year on a $440,000 home), to raise revenues to provide ongoing funding to maintain, operate and improve parks, community centers, pools, and other recreation facilities and programs. As a separate taxing authority from the City of Seattle, the District could levy additional property tax above the current "lid" restrictions that state law imposes on Seattle. The District may only be dissolved or its actions reversed by its governing body or a change in state law, but not by local initiative.
When the City placed this measure on the ballot, the Mayor and the Council also approved an ordinance that authorized the Mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with the District should its creation be approved by the voters. Under the proposed interlocal agreement, the City would maintain its current general fund support of the Seattle Park system and the District would supplement City funding by imposing a property tax of approximately $47.9 million per year for the first six years of the District's operation. That would be $0.33 per thousand dollars of assessed value or $145 per year for an average home with a value of $440,000. Under the proposed interlocal agreement, the City would retain ownership of all parks property and the District would not hire its own staff. The interlocal agreement, if adopted, could be amended or terminated in the future by the City and/or the District.
The companion ordinance, proposed interlocal agreement and spending plan is available at: http://go.usa.gov/8YQA
Proposition 1
Video Voters' Guide Statement
Because We Love Our Parks, Vote Yes on Proposition 1!
Seattle has one of the great parks systems in America, but for years we've neglected this extraordinary legacy. Daily maintenance has been reduced at virtually every park and community center. We now face a $267 million maintenance backlog – and it's growing.
It's time to invest in our parks again, so they are open and accessible to all. As the current parks levy expires, it's time to establish a Seattle Park District that provides stable, dedicated funding for our parks, ballfields and community centers and guarantees accessability for all.
Creating the Parks System that Seattleites Deserve
Proposition 1 will address a wide variety of parks system needs including: major maintenance like replacing leaky roofs, boiler replacements, and critical electrical upgrades; ongoing maintenance like cleaning restrooms, trash pickup, and mowing; restoring staffing, hours, and programs at community centers for kids and seniors; acquiring new parks and open space to meet increased demand; funding for major maintenance at Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium; and funding to protect habitat and open space.
All this critical work will only cost the owner of a $400,000 home about $4 a month more than the expiring parks levy.
Dedicated Park Funding Will Serve Us All
Right now our parks must compete with other city services like police, fire, and human services, so when budgets are tight parks lose out. We can do better.
Seattle Proposition 1 will provide the resources we need to ensure that our parks serve every neighborhood and community across Seattle. Our parks system is one of our greatest democratic institutions, bringing together people from all walks of life and all races and ethnicities to share equally in the beauty of nature and the benefits of recreation. Let's ensure this treasured legacy is enhanced for future generations to enjoy.
Enthusiastic Support from Organizations You Trust
Based on a carefully considered proposal developed by a citizens committee, Proposition 1 received unanimous support from Mayor Murray and the City Council and is endorsed by dozens of respected organizations that care about parks, like Sierra Club, Friends of Athletic Fields, Seattle Human Services Coalition, King County Conservation Voters, Seattle Youth Soccer Association, Transportation Choices Coalition, Seattle Parks Foundation, 34th, 37th and 43rd District Democrats, Forterra and many others.
Please support stable, dedicated funding for our parks. Please vote YES on Seattle Parks District Proposition 1!

Proposition 1 is NOT love for our parks. It is a clever deception.
In fact, it would create City Council controlled Metropolitan Parks District which changes forever how Seattle parks are managed – for the worse!
While current park maintenance may be an issue it doesn't justify abandoning the legacy levy system that empowers voters to prioritize revenue for park programs and maintenance.
A YES vote on Proposition 1 permanently shifts control of our precious park resources to the Council with absolutely no accountability to voters.
Any current or future Council could privatize our parks, build stadiums or cage more Zoo elephants….even raise taxes for private development – all without a public vote.
We regret King County Conservation Voters and Forterra did not bother to talk with these park advocates about our concerns. They may be right most times – but they're wrong here.
Really love our parks! Vote No on Proposition 1.

Proposition 1
Video Voters' Guide Statement
Proposition 1 is not a Parks Levy.
Proposition 1 gives our parks to a new, permanent taxing district.
Seattle has some of the most beautiful and widely used parks in the nation. Our citizens have raised money for parks, volunteered for parks' programs and fought to maintain them. We want to ensure our tax dollars care for our parks and maintain affordable programs for future generations. Vote NO on Proposition 1.
Proposition 1 would create an entirely new, independent agency that will take over our parks. This agency would exist forever – we would not be able to change it. The agency, under state law RCW 35.61, would be a Metropolitan Park District [MPD]. It would not have new elected leadership. The City Council has chosen to put themselves in control of the district. The MPD would not be accountable to the people of Seattle.
The MPD could raise your property taxes up to 75 cents per $1,000 of valuation without a public vote. State law allows MPD's to sell, commercialize and privatize park assets. The MPD could fund new sports arenas, mega projects, buy, sell or condemn land and engage in any business activity "it shall judge desirable or beneficial to the public." All without your vote.
Seattle residents have a history of collaboration with leadership that identifies priorities and places levies on the ballot. We trust that system. We have supported those levies. Levies hold our Council accountable to us and fund our parks and programs. We support keeping our Parks in the City's General Fund. But we lose accountability and control of our parks unless we vote NO on Proposition 1.
We will be voting on more tax proposals this fall. We are losing the battle to keep Seattle affordable. We are piling devastating financial burdens on young families and our seniors. We urge you to vote NO on Proposition 1.
Our Parks Forever advocates submitting detailed periodic levies to the voters for their approval. Our parks budget should not be mingled with entities that are privately administered like the Zoo and the Aquarium. Mega-projects like a waterfront park should be funded separately. Let's take care of park maintenance and cherished programs via levies people support.
Vote No on Proposition 1.

Opponents use highly misleading scare tactics. Proposition 1 was written to provide critically important parks funding, was studied extensively and approved overwhelmingly by a citizens committee of parks advocates, and was passed unanimously by the City Council and mayor.
It requires strict transparency and accountability, including a citizen oversight committee and annual performance audits. It increases oversight, not reduces it:
Prop 1 is accountable to citizens. Please vote YES on Proposition 1.

A Systems Approach for Successful Titanium Machining
Coolant delivery, spindle connection and dynamic response all are part of a tooling formula for milling this metal productively.
Advancing Manufacturing, Tomorrow and Today
A drilling solution improves the production of a component that is critical for correcting spinal disorders. Meanwhile, an apprenticeship program ensures that improvements like this one can continue into the future.
A Model Machine for Titanium
Researchers develop a machine tool that controls vibration to mill titanium more productively. The machine relies on guideway systems delivering stiffness that is literally infinite.
How Effective is MQL for Drilling Titanium/Aluminum Stacks?
Titanium expert Mark Larson describes how coolant properties affect the cut. MQL might work, but water-based coolant is typically best in titanium.
Tool-Related Considerations for More Efficient Machining of Titanium
The expert in our Titanium Machining Zone offers advice related to coolants and coatings.
Tips for Tapping Titanium Alloys
Creating threaded holes in titanium alloys calls for proper techniques based on an understanding of both the properties of these materials and the peculiarities of the tapping process.
Special High-Temp Alloys Spark Interest in EDM
Today's wire EDM technology preserves the surface integrity of proprietary titanium alloys and other high-temperature materials, so aerospace and medical applications using this process are booming.
The 400° Difference
Cryogenic machining achieves dramatic tool life gains not by flooding the cut, but by refrigerating the tool.
One Way to Machine Long Titanium Parts
This horizontal machining center design not only addresses the need for larger machining capacity for long aerospace components, but it also offers impressive material removal rates for tough titanium alloys.
Tool Line Complements Titanium, Stainless Techniques
A notable trend over the past five years or so has been the evolution of techniques for machining hard, difficult-to-cut materials, particularly titanium and stainless steel.

Gibson's Concession is now open for the season! Please call 309-724-8295 for more information.
With fully developed facilities for picnicking, camping, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, horseback riding and hunting, the 1,687-acre Moraine View State Recreation Area, with its 158-acre lake, is a beautiful, convenient and accessible locale for relaxation and recreation.
When the glaciers of the last Ice Age moved through central Illinois 15,000 years ago, they pushed massive amounts of rock and earth before them, leaving in their wake long and expansive ridges that ripple across the landscape. These irregular crests are called moraines, and on their gentle swells and their broad valleys are scattered groves of white oak, red oak, black walnut, maple, hickory, ash and elm.
One of the four largest of these moraines in Illinois, the Bloomington Moraine stretches across the state from Elgin to the Illinois River at Peoria east to Saybrook. In the middle of this sprawling feature, Moraine View State Recreation Area just minutes east of Bloomington/Normal off I-74 provides an ideal opportunity to enjoy both the tranquil natural beauty of Midwestern woodland and refreshing outdoor activity.
When early Europeans first arrived in what is now McLean County area, they found the Kickapoo and Potawatomi Indian tribes peacefully sharing the countryside. Following the War of 1812, the tribes signed a treaty with the Europeans enabling them to continue to live on the land and take game until European settlers moved in. In 1830 there were 630 Kickapoo living in a village in "Old Town Timber" south of Ellsworth.
The scattered groves of timber along the streams provided these early settlers with shelter from the bitter winds of winter, building materials, fuel and shade. The wet, sometimes marshy, prairie lands, though tough and difficult to turn with their primitive implements, were gradually drained or cleared, and small farms sprang up everywhere, taking advantage of the rich fertile soils left by the glacial retreat.
By the middle of the 20th century, it became apparent that the heavily farmed countryside in an area whose topography and terrain precluded many good lake sites would require artificial manipulation to provide and maintain a water-based recreation area for it's steadily increasing population.
In 1957, preliminary surveys were made, and in 1959 the State of Illinois purchased 760 acres in Dawson Township. Clearing contracts were awarded in 1960, and by July of 1962 construction had begun on a dam on the North Fork tributary of Salt Creek between U.S.150 and Illinois Route 9. The resulting lake, called Dawson Lake after the families of early settlers, was opened for fishing in 1963.
Originally known as the McLean County Conservation Area, additional acquisitions have expanded the area to its present 1,687 acres, and in 1975 it was designated as Moraine View State Recreation Area. Development of full recreational facilities has since made this one of the state's sterling examples of how economic and social necessity also can provide opportunities for conservation and recreation.
For the day visitor, there is ample parking throughout the area and eight picnic areas in shaded spots, with tables and fireplaces. In addition there are five picnic shelters, three available for reservations and two for first-come, first-serve use. Children will enjoy the four playground areas. Reservations are accepted through ReserveAmerica at www.reserveamerica.com.
Camping | Campground Map
For longer stays, there are 137 Class A trailer campsites with electricity and a sanitary station. Water is available in several locations in the campground. The Gander Bay campground contains 102 sites which can be reserved. A boat launch and dock is also situated in this area. Alcohol is prohibited in all campgrounds. Reservations are accepted through ReserveAmerica at www.reserveamerica.com. The shower buildings are closed by November 1 (may be earlier if bad weather) and reopen May 1 (may be earlier - weather depending).
Catfish Bay camp area and Tall Timber backpack trail provide 32 primitive class D sites. Timber Ridge group camp has three sites. Timberline Ridge horse camp has 30 Class A campsites complete with water, electricity and hitching racks. Ol' Orchard group camp is currently closed.
A concession stand, located near the boat dock and launch, offers dock and boat rental, fishing tackle, bait, refreshments and various supplies. A restaurant, seating 60, serves breakfast and lunch daily. For information, call (309) 724-8295.
The lake is regularly stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, bullhead, crappie, channel catfish, walleye, yellow perch and northern pike. Whether from the 5 miles of shoreline or off the handicapped-accessible fishing pier, the angling is always good.
Fishing Tournaments - Special rules and regulations apply to these events. Fishing tournaments must be permitted prior to the event by the Division of Fisheries – IDNR Fishing Tournament Permit and by the Division of Land Management through the Activity Permit and Liability Release (if applicable). Mail forms to Moraine View SRA, 27374 Moraine View Park Rd, LeRoy IL 61752.
Drifting and bobbing on the glittering expanse of Dawson Lake is one of the site's most popular activities, whether aboard a sailboat or in a motorcraft of 10 HP or less. Presently, an idle-speed/no-wake speed limit exists for boat motors more than 10 HP. There is a two-lane launching ramp and docking facility and boat rentals are available at the concession stand.
The Black Locust picnic area includes a public, sandy beach where swimming is permitted from Memorial Day to Labor Day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day. No alcohol or pets are allowed on the beach, and swimmers are to remain in the buoyed area. There are no lifeguards.
For invigorating exploration, Moraine View contains a variety of opportunities. The 0.5 mile Tanglewood Self-Guiding Nature Trail winds around the lake finger in a wooded area and will take you within sight of a thriving beaver dam and lodge. Tall Timber Trail, a 1.5-mile backpack and hiking trail over moderate terrain, also provides sites for primitive camping along its course. The Timber Point Handicapped Trail is a 0.5 mile long opportunity for disabled visitors to enjoy the pleasures of the woods as well.
More than 10 miles of bridle paths on Timberline Ridge Trail winds through most of the area. An equestrian campground is available.
Winter Sports
When the season brings sufficient snow, 7 miles of trails are open for cross-country skiing, and the field trial trails accommodate the higher horsepower of snowmobiles. Ice fishing and ice skating are available when the ice is thick enough.
Thirteen hundred acres of this park are open to public hunting in season. Moraine View is one of eight sites in Illinois which has 9 weeks of controlled pheasant hunting. Consult the park office for specific information concerning hunting and opening dates for various species. Upland Hunter Fact Sheet | Deer & Turkey Hunter Fact Sheet

Dr. Sarah Bryant, professor of finance, will travel to South America in May to participate in the Faculty/Professional Development in International Business (F/PDIB) Overseas program. Bryant's trip to Brazil, Argentina and Chile will be sponsored by Florida International University.
According to Bryant, while overseas, she will learn culture, business practices, economic development issues and political issues. "I teach global financial management, and am on the International Education Committee. My research has been in global economic and financial markets, so this trip will help me to emphasize more on South America," she said.
"I am absolutely thrilled to have been given this grant and opportunity. I have traveled to many areas of the world, mostly on business, but never to South America."
Last year, Bryant spent 10 days in Jordan as a consultant through the US Agency for International Development (USAID). She was asked to create various economic scenarios Jordanian leaders could use for contingency planning, to look at how the country might react to various economic challenges. She has also traveled to Egypt during previous work as a consultant to eight countries on the African continent.
Bryant, former dean of the college of business at Clarion University, has taught at universities both in the United States and abroad. She has taught at City University of London, Johns Hopkins University, George Washington University and the University of Maryland, College Park. She also served as director of the MBA program at City University of London and as a senior financial economist at the U.S. Department of Treasury.

That might depend on how many points applicant B had?
Some friends and I were having a debate a work today. What would it be worth to someone to be applicant B on an AZ elk application if applicant A had 17 bonus points?
Thanks and good luck this fall.

That might depend on how many points applicant B had?
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Lets say they had between 2 and 5. Combining with applicant A would virtually guarantee them most archery bull hunts in the state.
It TOTALLY DEPENDS on applicant A who has 17 points and what their goals are and it should be their choice what to do with their points. With 17 points they are on the verge of some great tags, including some of the lesser quality early firearm tags.
I personally have 15 points for Arizona elk. I am within a few years of a Unit 9 archery tag. My son has 10 points and has never had a quality elk tag. I am seriously considering applying with him for a unit like Unit 1. In Arizona, they round the point up, so we would go in the draw with 13 points.
Unit 1 has some very nice bulls. Now after the fire the sky is the limit. Congrats on that Grand Slam.
I have 11 AZ points.... unit 9 in September or bust. You have 17 points, what have you been holding out for ? With 17 it would be hard for me to backup several years and settle for a unit I could have drawn a few years ago. I don't know what it would be worth but if your friends are nonres. it puts them up the ladder quit a ways . It ought to be worth an expense paid by them..... hunting trip in AZ.
My son has 17 NR points. He hasn't elk hunted one day in his life. Been busy with college, sports, etc... I have 7, not sure what to do, he can bow hunt 9 solo or we can bow hunt unit 1 together. Tough decision for us. Did I mention I have a lot of money invested in his points!!
I wouldn't hunt two tags in 1 if it was me. Especially with a greenhorn. You'll be worrying about getting him a bull and he'll be worrying about you not getting one. Take the kid hunting in 9 and he'll be settled in by the time you get to 11/12 points for your own tag and he can pay back the favor.
I hope I never get 17 points anywhere! I have enough trouble letting go of 4 or 5 of them. The exception may be Nevada and sheep/goats/moose in my home state but other then that I look for units I can hunt with 5 points or less. I think if I saved that many points in a state that far away I would put to much pressure on myself once I did draw the tag. Nevada is close enough I can get down there to scout so its the only state I apply for long shots in.

OLYMPIA — The GOP-led Senate wants to throw an additional $1 billion into basic education and close a hefty budget shortfall primarily through spending cuts, fund transfers and government efficiencies.
Their budget proposal released Wednesday would not increase taxes, extend ones about to expire or close tax breaks. Cuts include a reduction in health-insurance costs and in money spent for some state services that help the working poor and disabled.
Republicans describe it as a reprioritizing of state spending. "We chose the priorities of higher education, K-12 and early learning over the rest of government," Senate Republican Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, said Wednesday.
Gov. Jay Inslee took a much different route last week. He proposed raising $1.2 billion in additional tax revenue — to meet state Supreme Court demands for K-12 funding — by closing tax breaks and extending existing taxes.

"I choose, and I believe we should all choose, education over tax breaks, and to make good on our constitutional and moral duty to quality schools for our children," Inslee said when releasing his budget.
The third partner in this budget dance will be House Democrats, who are expected to release a budget next week that's much closer to Inslee's than the Republicans'.
The Senate plans to vote on its bill this week. Once the House moves its proposal, all three sides can try to hash out a compromise.
It's anybody's guess how long that will take.
Republicans last week criticized Inslee for proposing additional tax revenue. Democrats wasted no time returning the favor Wednesday.
"This proposal is deeply flawed. It's the same old game that relies on short-term fixes and budget tricks, and it results in policy choices that would take our state backward," Inslee said.
House Appropriations Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, chimed in, saying "some of their decisions seem downright cruel."
University of Washington President Michael Young also criticized the budget, saying higher-education funding fails to keep pace. "Today's Senate Majority Coalition Caucus budget proposal comes up woefully short for the UW and higher education," he said in a statement.
But there was support for the Republicans, too.
Recover Washington, a business coalition representing the Washington Bankers Association and Washington Restaurant Association among others, said: "Our state Senate created a responsible budget that will help Washington's fragile economic recovery by prioritizing education and not increasing taxes on small businesses."
The Senate proposal would spend roughly $33.3 billion over the next two years. That's $1.1 billion less than a $34.4 billion spending plan released by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee last week.
A key difference: Inslee proposed $1.2 billion in additional tax revenue. The Senate budget, by comparison, highlights $1.2 billion in "spending constraints and savings."
The Senate proposal, for example, would take $180 million out of the Working Connections Child Care program for the working poor. Senate Ways and Means Chairman Andy Hill, R-Redmond said fewer people are using the program than expected, so the budget takes money that's not needed.
It also assumes $131 million in savings from various government efficiencies, including $66 million through the use of "lean management" techniques, which refers to a program of continuously examining an organization's workflow and processes to find and cut waste.
Inslee talked up the use of lean management during the campaign, but he did not book any savings from its use in his budget.
In addition, the Senate budget proposal would save $127 million by moving roughly 20,000 part-time state, higher education and non-certificated K-12 employees off state-funded health care and into a new health-care exchange that will be created as part of the new national health law.
Under the plan, the state would stop providing health care for state employees who work 80 to 129 hours a month. Those workers then would have the option of getting insurance through the exchange on their own. The Senate proposes giving them a wage boost to help pay the premiums.
An item in the GOP budget that's bound to prove controversial is a proposal to save $40 million by reducing and, in some cases, eliminating cash assistance for elderly and disabled legal immigrants and certain disabled U.S. citizens, a proposal that would have a hard road in the Democratically controlled House.
Republicans portrayed the budget as a bipartisan plan.
Democratic Sens. Jim Hargrove, of Hoquiam, and Sharon Nelson, of Maury Island, did work closely with Hill, but they made a distinction between the process and the end product.
"The process had been bipartisan up to now. Whether it's a bipartisan budget, you'll have to wait until we see the floor votes," Hargrove said, who noted he had concerns himself about some of the proposed cuts.
He joked "we've been talking about how we're probably building a two-vote budget (just Hill and Hargrove) here because in reality, the closer we get together the further away we get from our caucuses."
Senate Democratic Leader Ed Murray, D-Seattle, noted there were some wins for his caucus.
For example, the proposal fully funds state-employee contracts, and there is money for Planned Parenthood and programs for immigrants, but "this is not a bipartisan budget," he said. "If it was, we would have put additional revenue into our education system and not have cut the poor as deeply as they cut them."

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. -- A Milledgeville man is in stable condition after having his left leg amputated, below the knee, on Thursday afternoon.
The man, Paul Bales, found out he would need part of his leg amputated on Wednesday due to it being infected with flesh eating bacteria.
That's according to the man's son, Mike Bales of Dacula. He said his dad Paul Bales lives on Lake Sinclair near Milledgeville and injured his leg when he slipped and fell on his dock May 2.
MORE | Special coverage of flesh eating bacteria cases
Paul Bales bandaged the cut and went golfing the next day but started feeling pain in his leg.
He was admitted to the Oconee Regional Medical Center on May 5, then sent to the Medical Center of Central Georgia a week later.
Mike Bales says doctors have told the family that his father suffers from necrotizing fasciitis, the same flesh eating bacteria that struck University of West Georgia grad student Aimee Copeland and at least two others in the Southeast.
"He's gotten to be stable, but they can't get the infection from his leg," Mike Bales said.
Medical Center spokeswoman said Paul Bales is in stable condition but would not comment further.

|Volunteer Assistant Coach
Elise Edwards returns for her 10th season as a Butler assistant, where she serves as the program's goalkeeping coach. The former All-America candidate goalkeeper from Stanford University has a wide range of experience, both as a player and coach. Edwards served as an assistant coach at the University of Michigan for two seasons (1994-95) following her playing career.
Edwards, originally from Madison, Wis., arrived at Stanford and had an immediate impact on the women's soccer program. Alongside All-Americans Julie Foudy (who went on to compete in four World Cups and three Olympic Games) and Sarah Rafanelli, Edwards and the Cardinal posted a record of 43-22-10 in her four-year career. Edwards led Stanford to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1990.
The standout still tops the Stanford career charts in minutes played in goal (6,365 in 71 career matches) and saves (409). Her goals against average of 0.78 is the fifth-best mark in the program's history, while her 35 shutouts are third in the Stanford record book. Edwards was a two-time captain and three-time Most Valuable Player for the Cardinal, earning All-Far West honors from 1988-90.
Edwards was a member of the 1989-91 U.S. Women's National Soccer Team Pool under legendary coach Anson Dorrance. She was a two-time starting goalie for the West squad at the U.S. Olympic Sports Festival (1989-90).
Following her graduation, Edwards played in the Japan Women's Professional Soccer League from 1992-94, including as the starting goalkeeper on the 1993 national champion Nikko Securities squad. She also served as an assistant coach and goalkeeper trainer in the Japan league.
In April 2010, Edwards was honored by Butler as a Woman of Distinction. The award goes annually to a person in the Butler community who is described as an outstanding leader who has shown commitment and dedication to improving the Butler community and who reaches out to others while valuing herself; has created a vision and moves others toward that vision; has defined a clear role for herself in today's changing environment; faces challenges head on and is decisive and persistent; carries herself with dignity and pride, but never with vanity; and is a serious woman who rules her life with energy, integrity and love.
Edwards graduated from Stanford in 1991 with a degree in international relations. She went on to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in anthropology. Currently, she is an assistant professor in Butler's department of history and anthropology.

Cardinals Week 2.0
Tomorrow the Cardinals invade Kansas City and Kauffman Stadium. It's going to be another big weekend out at the K and Saturday is nearly a sellout already and both Friday and Sunday's tickets are going fast.
But before we start getting worked up on this beautiful off day in Kansas City, let's get a few things straight.
Here's what we know. The Royals and the Twins are the hottest teams in baseball, both having won 10 of their last 11 (note: Minnesota currently trails San Diego in a Thursday matinee, 1-0, in the third inning). The Royals have the best interleague record (12-3 mark) which is half a game better than the Twins entering today. Yep, you can gloat a little.
Trey Hillman rightly brought us back down to earth when he said following last night's win that it was a "step" and said we need to focus on continuing to take baby steps. He's right, but today's an off-day. Time to soak in the success of the past two weeks and look forward to what promises to be a wild weekend here at Kauffman. Let's fill the K will blue and drown out the red.
Let's get in a quick pick-me-up before we focus in on St. Louis, and go around the horn…
The Royals have gone 11-2 since June 12, an .846 win percentage. They've shaved five and a half games off their division deficit and sit in fourth place, seven games back. We've won four series in a row for the first time since June of 2003 and already have clinched a winning mark in June.
On top of those four series wins, the Royals have won all five interleague series this season, squaring off against some tough foes including the Florida Marlins, who were in first place at the time back in May and sit just two games back in second now, the Arizona Diamondbacks who currently lead their division, the Wild Card-leading Cardinals, the third-place San Francisco Giants and the defending National League Champion Rockies.
With a low scoring game last night and the longest outing of Luke Hochevar's career, we want to talk some more pitching. Royals starters have been impressive in interleague play and during this hot stretch. They've gone deep into games, averaging 6.2 innings a game during interleague play and 6.1 innings over the last 10. No surprise, they are 11-1 with two no decisions in interleague this season and 8-0 with two no decisions over the last 10 games. Going deep also keeps the bullpen fresh and effective. Just ask opponents how fresh and effective Joakim Soria has been (he has six saves in the last 10 games).
Hochevar earned his fifth big league win last night, going eight innings and throwing just 95 pitches. The sinkerballer recorded lot and lots of groundball outs last night, and is now fourth among American League pitchers with at least 13 starts with a 1.97 groundball/fly ratio. To explain that a bit more literally, Hochevar recorded 24 outs last night. He recorded 17 ground outs and three fly outs (along with three strikeouts and a caught stealing). That equals a groundball percentage of 85 (17 out of 20 outs put into play came on the ground).
If that was over your head, just remember, the key to Hochevar's success is to keep the ball down. He's a sinkerballer and wants groundballs.
The Cardinals Albert Pujols came off the disabled list to play for St. Louis today, allowing the former Fort Osage High standout to make a homecoming this weekend…Royals pitchers on the D.L., Leo Nunez and John Bale, might be coming off shortly after the All-Star break, although they still haven't thrown off the mound yet…Joakim Soria has 21 saves and KC's pre-All-Star break record is 25 (Jeff Montgomery in 1993)…he has nine saves in the month of June alone…Mr. Clutch, David DeJesus leads the Majors with a .451 batting average with runners in scoring position, 29 points higher than Cleveland's Casey Blake.
The Silverstein Eye Center "Eye"-70 Series is moving west this weekend. To steal a Dodgers' slogan: "Think Blue." With three games on the line, we want Kauffman to be coated in blue. Don't wear you're white or gray or pink or mauve or whatever Royals jerseys and T-shirts. Opt for the blue alternates. Break out the powder blues, the Gil Meche T-shirt Tuesday shirts from last year. Whatever blue you've got, wear it.
We swept the Cards for the first time in St. Louis last week and we're looking to keep it going. The Royals won 2 of 3 last season at Kauffman with a memorable moon-shot by Alex Gordon into the right field fountains. The Royals need just one win to secure a win in the season series after splitting last year. A second sweep this season would put the interleague series at 25-26, making next year very interesting.
Like we mentioned yesterday, plenty of promotions going on this weekend and tickets are going fast. Friday is also a silent auction to benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation. In honor of Art Stewart being inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday night, keep an eye out for our second Touch 'em All interview on this blog, with an exclusive look into John Martin's world. John is the man who has painted every Royals Hall of Fame portrait to date as well as numerous Royals media guide covers and much more. So look for that right here on Around the Horn.
Enjoy the off-day and continue to think blue.

May 25, 2016
CRESTVIEW, Fla. (AP) -- The parents of a teen who was disciplined by holding a sign at a Panhandle intersection say critics should "walk a mile in someone's shoes" before judging them.
Passing motorists snapped pictures and took video of 13-year-old girl on Saturday. One motorist called police who left after confirming that the girl was aware of her punishment and wasn't in any harm. Her father, Gentry Nickell, was standing nearby.
The Northwest Florida Daily News reports her parents say they were shocked to learn the video went viral.
The sign described the girl as a "self-entitled teenager" with "no respect for authority" who makes Ds in school.
The newspaper reports the girl told her mother she wasn't scarred by the punishment. They say her behavior has improved since the punishment.

I caught up with Chris Johnson for an off-the-wall conversation about fantasy football, Tiger, Tebow and more.
Q: What's one thing you would want to improve in your game?
A: To be honest, I'm not sure. I really don't know. I feel like if I come back and do the same thing, I feel like it'd be a success.
Q: Do you think Tim Tebow would work in the Titans system?
A: No, not at all. My prediction is Jacksonville is going to draft him. I think our QB system we already have is strong with Vince Young so we don't need somebody like him.

Hi all,
one of our users claims, that he can upload mails to salesforce, but attachments are not uploaded at all. There is no error message - attachments are just not in salesforce (while the rest of the mail is).
Is the zimlet supposed to upload attachments? If yes, how could I debug the problem?
Zimbra Server version is 7.1.1. (NE). The user works on MAC (Lion) and tried with firefox and safari.
Thanx and regards

Nice job, Mike.
I also took a deer second season in CO last week so I know about the warm temps, full moon and rice krispies underfoot.
My hat's off to anyone who can still-hunt in those conditions and bring down a heavy, mature buck. You've got some real patience, my friend. That's a well-earned trophy.

Hate Starbucks price hike? Some other options
Don't Waste Your Money
Attention Starbucks addicts (you know who you are.)
The coffee giant has just raised prices, as much as 20 cents on some drinks.
So we talked with local Starbucks fans about how this might affect them, and found some other alternatives if the price is getting too high for your taste.
Independent shops resist hikes for now
One option, if Starbucks is becoming too "frothy" for your wallet, is to visit an independent shop.
At the Rohs Street Cafe, manager Keaton Neely was frothing up cappuccinos for an appreciative noontime crowd.
Like many locally-owned coffee shops, Rohs Street has been trying hard not to raise prices, despite soaring costs of coffee beans.
"We haven't raised our prices, not since I've been working here," he said. "Not in five years."
But down the street at Starbucks it was another story, where a Starbucks Grande will now take more of a grande bite out of your wallet.
Customer Alexis Metz noticed it right away. "Sadly I have," she said. "It's gone up 15 cents or something and I think it's kind of ridiculous. I'm a college student."
How much more you will pay
The price increase mostly impacts drip coffees, though customers report price hikes on Frappuccinos at some locations. Here are the increases at most stores:
- Tall: The price of a small coffee, called a Tall, is unchanged at $1.75 or $1.85 at most locations.
- Grande: The price of a Grande has jumped 15 cents, from $1.95 to $2.10 at most Starbucks.
- Venti: The price of a Venti (extra large) is up in many locations from $2.25 to $2.35.
What you can do
The "bean" counters at Starbucks are not expecting much business loss: You either love Starbucks, or you don't.
The good news: Starbucks non-coffee drinks are not going up in price. So you won't see a change there.
And consider downsizing to a Tall: it's not going up in price, and you can buy a Tall every day for less than $2.
The other good news: No one is forcing you to order that double-pump-half-calf Starbucks latte: independent shops like Rohs Street Cafe would love to welcome you in.
One other option
Brewing Starbucks at home is a cheaper option for the next few weeks.
But Starbucks will raise the price of bagged supermarket coffee, a dollar a bag, starting next month.
Till then, don't waste your money.

I'm planning a somewhat-overdue upgrade from 6.0.14 to 7.1.4, and I'm concerned about this note in the release notes:
I think we've probably done three upgrades with our license already, but I'd like to know if there's an easy way to check the number of activations? I'd rather not find out in the middle of the upgrade that we need our license updated.Important: Note that an upgrade installation will not proceed without automatic activation or a manually activated license file. Also, license activations are limited to three activations per license file. If you have previously used all three activations prior to upgrading your production system, you must contact sales to enable additional license activations.

If you're reading this, you've figured out that cutting the cord and leaving the resort behind is a surefire way to get the best turns you've ever imagined. In which case, you probably know about the Burton Family Freebird Splitboard. It takes the experience gleaned from nearly two decades of splitboard experimentation to deliver a lightweight, insanely responsive pow-pillaging ripstick. It's built on Burton's S Rocker profile, which turns it into a directional freeride monster, plus it's ideal for the trip back up. When the resort boundaries look more like an invitation to awesomeness, the Freebird will take you there and back, no questions asked.
The Freebird runs on a refined version of Burton's S-Rocker profile, which blends a rockered nose with powerful camber from the front binding to the tail. The modest 7mm taper works in conjunction with this shape to yield tons of float on deep days, without sacrificing powerful turns. When it times to skin back up, the cambered tail provides tons of grip, while the rockered nose makes breaking trail a piece of cake.
The Freebird is built for speed, so it only makes sense that it uses a Sintered WFO base. Not only is it durable, but it holds a ton of wax to keep you speeding around the hill. The Pro Tip tip and tail reduce weight for faster spins and efficient skinning. The Superfuly II core provides a controlled flex and keeps weight to a minimum. Infinite ride ensures that your board feels broken-in right out of the box, and stays that way for the life of the board.
- S Rocker (camber from front binding through tail, rockered nose)
- Directional shape
- Directional tapered sidecut
- Super Fly II Core with Dualzone EGD
- Sintered WFO base
- Standard splitboard hardware interface
- Skins, bindings, and clips sold separately

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Good so far!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had no...major issues with this board. It rides great with the S-Rocker shape. No submarine issues thus far, and I've hit the deep!
I have the 158. I'm 5'7'', 170 lbs. Rides great through the fresh. I can't comment how it does on groomer type snow, but that's a good thing, right?
I have had one issue with the board. The measurements between the binding holes. The standard distance width is 3 3/8". Mine measures 3 1/4". This has caused some major frustration mounting Voile and Karakoram interfaces. My Freebird is a couple of years old now and perhaps they have worked this out, but I would measure before buying one again (or any board for that matter). This is why the four stars instead of five.
I bought my board late season, 40% off. It seems theres always plenty left over at the end of the season. I suggest you wait and get a good deal!
8 lbs 6 oz without bindings,
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
got another one, thought id weigh it.
7 lbs 5 oz no hadware
(two different freebirds 2012)
this is heavier than most boards on the backcountry mag review 2014(6 lbs 10 oz seemed to be av for this size) , but I don't buy their weights/not convinced they weighed em., feels lighter than most.
2nd one had hairline cracks on topsheet day 10. thus the 4 star.
still rips for all conditions.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
review is for a 158 cm
I got 3 seasons bout 50 days/ year. review is for a earlier version that is same.
3770 grams w volie pucks and sparks lt mount (aka no bindings)
and probably 50 gram loss of ptex (season 3)
this board is light, quick turn, edges are tough (mine have been tested-still perfect I am light though), nose and tail are thinned (I did hit a rock and did delam nose and tweak core, it was a 15mph to a stop-not sure what would have hapend to a no thinned nose-worth it for the weight savings anyway, epoxy and clamps, still riding)
board is sensitive to where you mount the bindings, sweet spot is small.
I weigh 145-board is perfect for all but the lightest and deepest days.
the top sheet is slick and sheds snow-
It skins great. I got no complaints and would gladly get another-super solid
you cant go wrong!
two request-
burton are you listening?
1. make ptex black plz-easier repairs (backcountry is different than resorts damage per mile wise)
2. white top sheets plz (less snow melting/refreezing/weight)
Burton Family Tree Freebird Splitboard
Can any one know this boards weight in a...
Can any one know this boards weight in a 158?
I believe its roughly 3600g.
How is riding switch with this board in...
How is riding switch with this board in powder?... Possible at all?
Guess it depends on how skilled you are. It would certainly be difficult, seeing how it is directional, tapered, and has a set back stance. You'd want something with a "twin" shape if you plan to ride switch frequently.

Cyclones Set For Big 12 Outdoor Championships
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's and women's track and field teams travel to Lubbock, Texas, this weekend to compete in the 2014 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The Cyclones enter the championships with three conference leaders, with numerous student-athletes ranked in the conference's top-8.
Indoor conference and eventual NCAA champion Christina Hillman will look to defend her title in the shot put. Hillman enters the competition with a season-best throw of 56 feet, 11.50 inches, a mark that ranks sixth nationally and stands over three feet ahead of her next competitor. The Dover, Delaware, native holds a personal best of 59'11.75" in the event and will look to capture her second conference title on Saturday.
Edward Kemboi comes into the championships ranked No. 3 in the NCAA in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:46.14, posting the time earlier this season at the Mt. SAC Relays. Kemboi posted a mark of 1:45.98 this past indoor season and is coming off a runner-up finish at the NCAA indoor championships. The Eldoret, Kenya, native will be chasing his fourth career conference title and third in the 800m.
National No. 4 in the 400-meter hurdles Ese Okoro has put together an impressive season in 2014, notching three victories in four competitions. Okoro is the only athlete in the nation to run sub-57 seconds in the event twice and is also the only to run sub-58 in every race this season, among those competing in more than one race. Okoro posted a career-best at the Tiger Classic, breaking the tape in 56.78 seconds.
Coming off winning the Big 12 indoor title, high jumper Cameron Ostrowski will again challenge for the top spot on the podium. The Burlington, Illinois, native has cleared 7'1" this season and has jumped as high as 7'3.75" in his career. Ostrowski's top competition will come from Texas Tech's Jacorian Duffield and Bradley Adkins.
Ejiro Okoro is looking to defend her indoor title in the 800-meter run. Okoro clocked a career-best time of 2:04.47 at the Payton Jordan Invitational earlier this season to rank fourth on Iowa State's all-time list. She will be pitted against Oklahoma State's top-seeded Savannah Camacho.
Indoor 5,000-meter champion Samantha Bluske, along with several other Cyclone women will be in the mix in the 5,000m and 10,000m this weekend. Bluske, Crystal Nelson, Katy Moen and Bethanie Brown all rank on Iowa State's all-time lists in the events. The Iowa State distance crew will look to score big team points in their events this weekend.
Look for Mohamed Hrezi to score team points in the long-distance events, as the Naugatuck, Conn., native scored in both the 3,000m and 5,000m at the indoor championships. Jan Jeuschede and Henry Kelley also look to get on the podium in the shot put and hammer throw, respectively, while triple-jumper Kevin Poster enters the competition with the No. 2 overall seed in the competition. Ryan Sander is coming off a career-best performance in the 110-meter hurdles and currently ranks eighth in the conference. At 51.65 seconds, freshman Derek Jones will also be in the hunt in the 400-meter hurdles.
On the women's side, Kayla Sanborn (hammer throw), Colleen Riley (3,000m steeplechase), Maggie Gannon (1,500m), Hannah Willms (high jump) and Kelly McCoy (high jump) will look to add to the team race, scoring points in their respective events. Krista Shoeman and Bree Woelber will also be chasing the podium in the 400-meter hurdles and the heptathlon, respectively.
The 2014 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships will be held at Texas Tech's Fuller Track, May 16-18. For the championship schedule, Iowa State team notes and Big 12 performance lists, see the links to the right.

"Dealing With Disappointment" Chapel Message from Jeff Iorg
"There are some days in ministry leadership that are very disappointing," Jeff Iorg, president of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary told a group of students, faculty, and staff who gathered for the opening chapel message of the spring 2012 semester.
Iorg gave several examples of facing disappointment in his work as president. "We once pursued a faculty member for the seminary. We held multiple meetings over multiple months. And after all the time and negotiation, he backed out at the last minute." Iorg told of a prospective donor who was preparing to make a very large gift. "At the final meeting, the donor listed several qualifications about their gift which the seminary couldn't accommodate. As a result, no gift was received." The president described his efforts of discipling a potential leader weekly for a year, only to observe no real growth or development. He also mentioned his initial disappointment, when as a church planter he set a goal of 200 in a service and only 92 came. "All of these circumstances were disappointing."
Iorg then asked, "Where does disappointment come from?" He observed, "It comes from unmet expectations rather than actual performance. You hope for a certain level of achievement, but something far less happens and you feel let down – often because of circumstances outside your control."
"There is foundational truth to remember when dealing with disappointment," Iorg noted. "God is at work in all your circumstances." He referred to Romans 8:28-29, Jeremiah 29:11, and Genesis 50:20 to reinforce the fact God can use all circumstances for "good" in our lives.
Iorg then explained how God allows disappointments and uses them for our benefit. For example, disappointment reveals misplaced affections. Referring to Colossians 3:1-2, Iorg noted "We must set our hearts – affections, longings, hopes – on spiritual realities. It's easy to fixate on a person or opportunity as your source of happiness. God allows disappointment to reorder our affections."
The president then shared some personal stories illustrating how God allows disappointment so we can learn to comfort others, as described in 2 Corinthians 1:3-6. God also allows disappointments to guide and direct us to better options. Iorg referred to Acts 16:6-8 as "more than a travel-log." "It's an encouraging passage when you realize that God allowed the disciples to wander around," he said. "They were probably wondering where they were supposed to be, in the same way we often wander around until we discover where God wants us. Just because you're not finding a clear pathway doesn't mean God is not leading. God gets us to where we ultimately are supposed to be, and we learn as part of the process."
President Iorg concluded by reminding his listeners God allows disappointment to remind us of heaven. "So much of what we have on earth is insignificant in relation to heaven. So keep disappointment in focus – God is in control and better days are coming."

Royals agree to terms with seven players on 2011 contracts
The Royals have announced that the club has agreed to terms on 2011 Major League contracts with right-handed pitchers Henry Barrera, Kevin Pucetas and Kanekoa Texeira, left-handed pitcher Everett Teaford, catcher Lucas May, and infielders Mike Aviles and Alcides Escobar. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
The 29-year-old Aviles hit .304 for the Royals in 2010 with 16 doubles, three triples, eight home runs, 32 RBI and 63 runs scored. The career .298 hitter in 248 Major League contests was the Royals' seventh-round selection in the 2003 Draft.
Escobar, 24, was acquired along with pitchers Jeremy Jeffress and Jake Odorizzi, and outfielder Lorenzo Cain in the six-player deal that sent pitcher Zack Greinke and infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to Milwaukee on December 19, 2010. The shortstop batted .235 with 10 triples and 10 stolen bases in his first full season in the Major Leagues last year.
The 26-year-old May was acquired by the Royals from the Los Angeles Dodgers along with pitcher Elisaul Pimentel in exchange for outfielder Scott Podsednik on July 28, 2010. The catcher picked up his first action in the Majors in September for Kansas City, hitting .189 in 12 games.
Texeira, 25, was 1-0 with a 4.64 ERA in 27 relief appearances for the Royals in 2010 after being claimed on Outright Waivers from the Seattle Mariners on June 3. The 6-foot-2 native of Hawaii missed the final month of the season with a right elbow strain.
The 25-year-old Barrera returned in 2010 from Tommy John surgery pitching at both Wilmington (High A) and Northwest Arkansas (AA). The Royals' fifth-round pick in 2004 was 3-1 for the Naturals with a 1.80 ERA in 16 relief appearances, covering 25.0 innings.
Pucetas, 26, was acquired by the Royals from the San Francisco Giants on October 14, 2010 as the player to be named in the trade that sent outfielder Jose Guillen to the Giants on August 13, 2010. The 6-foot-4 right-hander spent the entire 2010 campaign with Fresno (AAA) posting a 5-7 record with a 5.69 ERA in 26 starts.
The 26-year-old Teaford was the 2010 Northwest Arkansas Pitcher of the Year after compiling a 14-3 record with a 3.36 ERA in 27 appearances (12 starts). The southpaw, who was added to the Royals' 40-man roster this offseason, led the Texas League in victories. Teaford wrapped up his strong 2010 by going 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in two starts for Team USA at the Pan American Games Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico.

I just drew a tag for Nov. 12-16 in Unit 16 (DER-1-180). This was my third choice draw tag, and honestly, I do not know much about the area. I have seen some nice deer through the Gila, but have never been around long enough to say I even know where to start.
I am guessing temperatures will be normal Central New Mexico for the altitude of about 7,000-9,000 feet. When it gets cold I would expect that hunting the lower elevations and draws would be more productive or if it's warmer hit the elevated ridges and glass down.
Anybody have any info? If you have hunted the area or if you know the area any help would be useful. Thanks in advance and good luck to everybody that drew a tag.
--I posted this in the general hunting forum by mistake earlier. Sorry.--

I have been searching and searching for absolute days and can't seem to find what I need.
I have ZCS 7.1 installed. I've got Z-Push 1.5.x installed with Zimbra Backend 53. (I tried installing the Z-Push 2.0 but I couldn't get it to work.
I've got the calendar syncing and emails on my iPhone. I have not tried contacts yet, but will once I get everything else working well.
Couple of issues:
1. Calendar syncs both ways perfectly. However, is there a way to have my iphone alert me with a calendar event? The alert pops up in Zimbra client but not my iphone.
2. MOST IMPORTANT: I get full syncing with my iphone/emails. I can read and delete any emails. However, if I try to send an email it just keeps trying and trying. It collects in the outbox but never sends. My iphone doesn't show a detailed message either.
Is someone can help me get this working, I would greatly appreciate it!
