Americans are overweight and even obese. Statistics get thrown out – such as more than one-third of American adults have a body-mass index of more than 30. That's nearly three times as many as in 1960.
More than 9 million young people -- or 27 percent -- ages 17 to 24 are too overweight to join the military.
The U.S. military complains that the escalating rates of child obesity pose a serious threat to national security. A report titled "Too Fat to Fight," notes that weight problems have become the leading reason why recruits are rejected for service.
Closer to home, in Iowa alone, the Iowa Department of Public Health says thirty-nine percent of Iowa's 3rd, 4th and 5th graders are overweight or obese.
The heavier we are, the more likely we are to develop long-term health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
To reverse such a large trend seems daunting. But one north central Iowa community has an approach to health and wellness that has garnered international attention.
5th graders at Grundy Center Elementary school come to P-E class armed with a piece of technology that is changing the way they learn.
These monitors go on their wrists and help keep track of their heart rates as they warm up, stretch and move into full activity during their physical education class.
It all is part of the PE 4 Life program.
Rick Schupbach/Co-Director, PE4Life Grundy Center: "If you see them walk to the thick maroon line, it means then are monitoring themselves with an IEP, Individualized Exercise Prescription Plan, their heart rate. We have to take the guessing out of assessing."
Taking the "guessing out of assessing" through the use of monitoring equipment, helps PE instructor Rick Schupback know if his students are working hard enough ...
"left, right, center, drop."
And helps the students aim for life fitness skills. These skills are taught at both the elementary school and in the Grundy Center combined middle and high school.
Schupbach: "Our mission statement here at Grundy Center is to educate for healthy, active lifestyles. And we really want to give students the skills, the knowledge, and the ability and the confidence to move forward, after their time here, so they can take care of themselves."
"Good job, Daniel. Keep up the good work."
Grundy Center schools officially became a PE4Life school 5 years ago. They were one of the first in the nation to serve as a training site for other educators to learn about the grassroots organization aimed at improving the quality of physical education.
Graduate students from the University of Northern Iowa help at all levels in the Grundy Center school system.
And the program has drawn international attention – enough attention that the school, and UNI, recently hosted a conference that drew visitors from 26 countries as part of the Global Forum for Physical Education.
In addition to visiting PE classes, the forum brought in speakers who addressed the issue of childhood obesity.
Peter OReilly/VP, NFL Fan Strategy: "Play60 is about being active in whatever way is best for that child and that community. Clearly we think playing our game, in our non-contact game, for boys and girls at the youth level, is a tremendous way to get 60 minutes of activity a day, but Play60 is about being active in anyway that suits your needs as an individual."
Sarah Baird/VP, National Dairy Council: "What it is, is partnering nutrition education with physical activity in order to get healthy kids. It seems very easy. But what it is, the difference is, those kids in the center, they get to choose what they want to do. They track what they eat, track their physical activities. Our goal now is to go deep. We want those 60,000 schools to really, really make changes. We want them to not only do physical activity, but nutrition changes as well."
Also in attendance was Shellie Pfohl, the Executive Director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. The Iowa native and UNI graduate is now in charge of carrying out President and Michelle Obama's vision for physical fitness.
Shellie Pfohl/Executive Director, President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports: "Grundy Center schools I would hold up against any program in the country and really the world. What they've done right, one of the many things they've done right, is they not only built a quality PE program, but they've engaged the community."
That community plays a large role in going down the path to a healthy lifestyle. The YMCA is located at the high school and is available for everyone.
But there still needs to be motivation to make the program work.
Schupbach: "The role of families is extremely important, parents to be role models. If nothing changes, nothing changes. In the past 30 years, we've tripled the obesity rate for young people. Imagine if we dumbed down America's kids by 3 times as much in the last 30 years, imagine the uproar."
While enthusiasm is fierce for this type of program, there are those who say it is too expensive for their school to provide.
Schupbach: "We can't afford not to. I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You've heard that for years and years. 97% of our healthcare dollars are spent reactively, only 3% are spent proactively. What is most paramount to us, what do we value most, is the health of our children. We then have to take the educational delivery system and match up our belief system to with what we are doing on a daily basis for our youth."
Shellie Phol: Grundy Center started with nothing. They did it based on dedication, on perseverance, on going and getting grant dollars, going and getting donations, getting the community involved, it can be done. It is not about the money. It is about priorities."

Ned Yost media session: March 30
Fresh off a Cactus League championship, Royals manager Ned Yost expressed excitement for the 2011 season while meeting with the Kansas City media Wednesday afternoon, prior to the club's workout at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals finished 20-10-1 overall in spring training, finishing with a string of six consecutive victories.
Yost attributed the spring training success to consistency on both offense and defense, along with an aggressive approach on the base paths. Specifically, KC scored 220 runs and only allowed opponents to cross the plate 151 times. In the field, he said the squad only endured one tough game the entire spring.
A popular topic pertaining to the Royals this spring has been the development of young players. Yost emphasized that the sooner these players get experience, the quicker the club can improve. In particular, three members of the bullpen will soon be making their big league debuts in Nate Adcock, Tim Collins and Aaron Crow. According to the skipper, these live arms earned spots on the Opening Day roster by having good command of the strike zone throughout spring training.
Perhaps the most impressive spring performance came from left fielder Alex Gordon. Yost said that Gordon worked extensively with hitting coach Kevin Seitzer to revamp his swing. After a slow start, Gordon caught fire and his at-bats eventually became something that no spectator in Arizona wanted to miss.
Editor's note: The media relations department welcomes our new interns, Sarah and Tyler. They will be bringing you the majority of our media session posts this season.

WHEELING -With the OVAC Cup Soccer Tournament two weeks away, Morgantown and Linsly's girls' teams put on a defensive show Saturday afternoon that definitely had the fans at the contest wanting more.
While it is too early to figure out if the Mohigans and Cadets will meet on the Wheeling Island turf during the final OVAC Cup event, one thing is for sure, if they do the match could go well beyond the normal 80-minute time limit.
Defense was at a premium Saturday, and while Morgantown (5-0-3) controlled the tempo in the second half, neither team was able to find the back of the other's net as the teams battled to a scoreless deadlock in a well-played contest at Holloway Field.
"Honestly, we knew this was going to be a great game coming in," Cadets coach Erica Hall said. "With our leading scoring out with an injury, we had to make some adjustments. But the girls figured things out and I am very proud of the composure they kept and how well they supported each other on the field."
There was actually only one shot on goal in the first half, a long ball that was corralled by Linsly keeper Vivian Allison. Not only were there no goals during the initial 40 minutes of play, but no corner kicks as well as each team had trouble advancing deep into the other's end.
Morgantown had a pair of opportunities late, with a kick just outside the box with four minutes to play that sailed over the net on a header and a corner kick at the three-minute mark that did not connect. Linsly also had a late chance with a corner kick in the final minute that didn't go.
For Mohigans coach Ashley Neal, a Linsly graduate and former Cadets soccer player, it was a game she wanted to win badly on her old field, and one she wouldn't mind playing again.
"I am always up for a challenge and it might be great to see them again on the island," Neal said. "This was a very good game, I expect an awful lot out of our defense and got it (Saturday). I think you really have to give both teams a lot of credit, Linsly (8-2-1) came out hard and challenged us as well.
"It wasn't what we were hoping for, but ties are both the gift and curse of soccer. Sometimes they just happen."
While Allison was charted with five saves on the afternoon, Morgantown's Katey Sharpe turned away the only attempt she needed to in the double shutout.
"Morgantown is a great team and I honestly have to say that just was just a fun game to both coach and watch," Hall saidd. "The OVAC Cup is still in the distance and we have other games to concentrate on first, but I looked forward to playing in it as a player and still look forward to it as a coach.
"I am sad that this will be the final year for the Cup, but I really believe that is we are able to get there, and play Morgantown again, this game will be a big time motivator for both sides. We still have work to do, starting with Brooke this week, but thinking about the Cup is always exciting for us."

1933 Ford Roadster - Teaching New Parts Old TricksWritten by Chris Shelton on October 1, 2010 Claude Freund's '33 Ford Roadster Is The Same As It Never Was
The hot rod wouldn't exist if nobody bothered to turn rules on their heads. The pioneers who preceded us made a cause taking older, modest cars that were as a rule nothing more than underpowered transportation, and making them go very fast-oftentimes far faster than the purpose-built sports cars those home-brew builders aspired to own. With their emphasis on the individual and the rejection of conventionalism you'd think the industry they spawned would be unencumbered by rules.
But it's not. In fact, we operate almost entirely by rules. Don't believe me? OK, try this.
If I described a car with disc-type wheels, hubcaps, redline tires, a boat-type windshield, quick-change axle, and dual quads on a small-block Chevy bristling with fins, you'd probably build a traditional-looking car in your head. But if I said 18-inch billet wheels, low-profile radial tires, electronic gauges and ignition, coil springs, and multi-stage polyurethane paint, your mind's eye would see an altogether different-looking car-a more modern, high-tech one perhaps. Each style has its own set of rules.
Sociologists call that type of categorization mental labeling, and it's largely the mechanism that taught us to avoid predatory animals and poisonous foods. But in this case our notions of traditional and contemporary prevent many of us from realizing those two descriptions were the same car. This car.
I haven't asked him specifically so I can't say it definitively, but I would hazard to guess that Claude Freund wasn't thinking in those specific terms when he built his roadster. No, he said the same thing we all say: He just wanted a cool-looking car. But the line he took follows a path established by hot rodders of yore, which is to say that he used the parts available to him to achieve a particular objective.
Of course time has radically changed the terms and conditions of availability. For example, real '33 roadsters might have been available for a few hundred bucks at the midpoint of the last century; however, they aren't anymore. Their rarity and collectability make the reproductions like the Wescott Auto Restyling body more feasible. And really the same could be said of the chassis: In the eyes of a builder unconcerned with historical accuracy, the cost of buying and refurbishing a frame that just celebrated its Diamond Jubilee made the already modified Pete & Jakes version more appealing. Though new, its components-the beam axle, hairpins, transverse front spring, ladder bars, and quick-change rear axle-acknowledge history.
Some will surely grumble, but the remainder of the car arguably follows various definitions of tradition: people have swapped small-block Chevrolets since the Eisenhower years; the TH350 transmission bolted to that engine debuted the same year we landed on the moon; and the quick-change rear axle design that it drives has roots to at least the '40s.
But the rest of the car blurs the line between new and old. The wheels, for example, look like the ones Ford adopted in 1940, however, their great diameter and computer-aided construction make them nothing if not blatantly new. Even the tires, with their red stripes and low-profile radial construction, similarly bridge the generation gap. The punchy blue paint that Claude's son, Russ, sprayed evokes hybridized sporty Brit cars of the '60s but its sophisticated resins ensure a type of gloss and durability unheard of even a few years ago. Solid-state construction ensures that the ignition will fire consistently for probably the life of the car and microprocessors promise that the gauges will read accurately.
Merging old and new isn't just a matter of throwing parts together slapdash. Just as a racer selects parts based on their compatibility, Claude chose parts that met at a common ground. The wheels, for example, evoke the disc-type Ford wheels that were popular in the '60s, which was primetime for redline tires and Cobra Blue paint. Those elements that tie the car together meet on yet another plane: each is a modernized interpretation of an old standard. You could say they're the point where old and new make amends.
Some would say that Claude built a car that's relatively timeless. In the sense that '40-style wheels, redline tires, punchy metallic colors, and Greek-style stripes won't ever go out of style. They're right. But this car very much has a time: This is a today car.
To paraphrase automotive artist Steve Stanford, right now we live in probably the greatest time in automotive history. We have a whole century of automotive styling at our disposal, each trend every bit as cool as the other nowadays. What's more, there's really nothing saying that we can't pick and choose among them. We couldn't do that yesterday.
True, there are still rules. But, as any pioneer in any field will tell you, rules were meant to be broken.

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - It might already be too late for the suddenly
hot Washington Wizards.
Bradley Beal had 20 points and six rebounds in the Wizards' 90-84 win over the
Toronto Raptors.
The Wizards, who began the season 0-12, have won seven of their last nine
games and 14-of-23 overall. Washington improved to 18-37 on the campaign.
John Wall added 10 points, seven assists and five rebounds in the win.
DeMar DeRozan netted 25 points to lead Toronto, which had won six of its
previous seven tilts coming in.
Rudy Gay was just 1-of-11 from the floor, turned the ball over five times and
netted seven points in defeat.
The Raptors trailed by as many as 12 in the final frame, but clawed within
83-78 with 1:04 to go after DeRozan split a pair from the foul line. But Wall
drove in for a layup at the other end and Toronto missed four consecutive
shots on its ensuing possession before Wall hit two free throws to seal the
Washington took a 17-16 edge after a quarter of play, a 40-32 advantage into
the break and a 63-54 cushion after three.
Game Notes
Washington, which last won in Toronto on Dec. 1, 2009, snapped a five-game
slide at the Air Canada Centre ... The Wizards were 7-of-12 from beyond the

It the trial of Osama's driver, the Navy prosecutor said in his opening remarks:
"If they hadn't shot down the fourth plane it would've hit the dome," Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks, repeating Bin Laden's deputy's claim.
From this story...

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers
Kansas wears Adidas.
So he implies that Flight 93 was shot down while the story for Flight 93 was that the passengers attempted to overtake the terrorists?
Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, who was governor of Pennsylvania on September 11, said "America is grateful" to the 40 victims who "won the first battle" in the war against terrorism.
Interesting. I wonder what actually happened.
might not even be a story:
Col. Lawrence Morris, later explained that Stone was quoting Hamdan in evidence that will be presented at trial.

Shot down could also mean the people on the plane got control of the weapons and shot the terrorist pilots ???

I think the U of Iowa administration and athletic departments have been trying to cover up this potential shoot-down as well. Them and their darn grassy knoll on Melrose.

I've always thought this was the case and that America just needed a good story so they went with this (the flight 93 story) since there were actually calls made. Why wouldn't our government shoot down a plane that they don't know where it's going, the people on the plane are screwed no matter what, get it while it's over a remote area in Pennsylvania.
Pretty sure if it was shot down you could tell from the reckage(sp?).
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, and I do not think that the government would create this kind of huge coverup. If they had, I think it would have been completely justifiable, and that was my initial assumption when the fourth plane went down.
I wonder if they are talking about the FOURTH plane that crashed into the pentagon, not Flight 93 that crashed in the middle of a field. The part were it say that the plane would have hit the dome makes me think this.

|Rationale detailed for fall student testing
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Using detailed informational graphics to chart student testing, Holyoke school district assessment coordinator Kimberlee Bennett and Supt. Bret Miles highlighted the value of MAP testing in the fall of each school year.
Their report was presented at the Oct. 20 meeting of the Re-1J Board of Education.
Northwest Evaluation Association's (NWEA) Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) testing is conducted for Holyoke students in grades 3-10 twice a year—in the fall and again in the spring.
NWEA placed all of its test items on the RIT scale, according to their difficulty. Each increasing RIT is assigned a numeric value, or RIT score, that indicates a higher level of difficulty.
Bennett explained when a student takes a MAP test, he is presented with items of varying RITs or levels of difficulty. Once the MAP system determines the difficulty level at which the student is able to perform and the system collects enough data to report a student's abilities, the test ends and the student is assigned an overall RIT score.
Fall RIT scores from the MAP testing are valuable in predicting how well the student will score the next spring on Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) testing. Bennett highlighted 2009 RIT bands for each grade level and each subject area to note projected CSAP proficiency in 2010.
As a result, teachers can use the RIT bands to decide at what cut point proficiency is probable on the spring CSAP tests.
From there, those proficiency bands can be used to identify content necessary to reach proficient levels. Teachers can then group students according to content needs.
The fall MAP test results also allow teachers to identify students in need of more intensive intervention.
Lastly, information from MAP testing and RIT bands can be used to validate current curriculum so adjustments can be made, as needed.
New instrument prepared for supt. evaluation
Revisions have been made for a new superintendent evaluation instrument which has been a work in progress this fall. The proposed evaluation tool was presented at last week's board meeting. It will return for first reading Nov. 3 and will be on the Nov. 17 meeting agenda for adoption.
Components of the tool include instructional leadership, leadership/personnel management, budget development/management, facilities management, community outreach and other board/superintendent goals.
Ongoing goals and superintendent expectations will be consistent with each domain. Adjustable in each will be five-year goal, strategy and key deliverables for the year.
The board will take a role in the success of the superintendent and district, as well. For each domain, there will be a five-year goal, strategy and key deliverables. Also included will be a board self reflection of communication guidelines.
Delegate assembly reported
Supt. Miles and board member Linda Jelden reported from the Oct. 16-17 Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) delegate assembly. "Staying Ahead of the Red" was the general theme which centered around economic expectations for fiscal year 2010-11.
Jelden reported on the sessions she attended which focused on budget decisions and legal implications of board decisions.
She also noted only 80 of 178 school districts were represented at Saturday's delegate assembly. There were some good topics and debates, with all new resolutions passing.
Miles reported on the session he attended which dealt with getting more out of your BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services). He pointed out consolidation was a big word. He said at the upcoming Northeast BOCES retreat, one topic will be exploring other shared services.
Miles also reported on two speakers from the legislature, both who are likely to be sponsors of the school finance act.
New financial report formats
Supt. Miles introduced new financial report formats, and noted appreciation to Sharon Thompson, director of budget and finance, for her time in changing those formats.
Reports which were reviewed included a cash balance report, quarterly reports and monthly expenditures.
Board member Jeff Tharp said he likes the format, as it gives a good understanding of cash-flow.
Other business
In other business Oct. 20, the Re-1J board:
—noted board meetings will start at 7 p.m. beginning with the Nov. 3 meeting.
—accepted the resignation of assistant cook Tricia Coyne, effective Oct. 9.
—approved application for Type V substitute teaching authorization for Laura Roll.

Mayor vs. city attorney, Round 2
The simmering feud between Mayor Bob Filner and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith erupted Wednesday when the mayor hijacked Goldsmith's news conference and dressed him down for giving legal advice through the news media.
Filner accused the city attorney of "unethical and unprofessional conduct" after Goldsmith gave his legal analysis of the mayor's four-point proposal to end a dispute with hoteliers over tourism marketing revenue. He then chastised Goldsmith for exceeding his role as legal adviser to the mayor and council by discussing the issue with the media.
"He did not advise me," Filner said. "It would have been nice, Mr. Goldsmith, to have a memo. It would have been nice to have advice. I am your client. That's privileged communication. You not only have been unprofessional but unethical in this press conference. And I resent it greatly that you're giving your advice through the press."
After Filner finished, Goldsmith took the podium again and said, "I hope in the future we'll know about these issues and get consulted in advance but if I read them in the newspaper and they're wrong I have to comment on them."
Filner replied, "I have no obligation to inform you of any policy decisions I make. You have the obligation as my attorney to give me private and privileged communication. I do not have to advise you on my policy considerations, but you have the right, you have the obligation to defend me in any court action and to give me advice in a privileged fashion, not to announce your own policy on your own."
Filner, a Democrat, and Goldsmith, a Republican, are the only city officials elected citywide and a bitter feud has been growing between them since Filner took office in December. Filner hired his own legal adviser and doesn't consult with Goldsmith, who supported City Councilman Carl DeMaio in last year's mayoral race. Goldsmith complained last week that he finds out what Filner is doing through the media and hasn't established a dialogue with him.
Goldsmith scheduled the afternoon news conference to address key legal points related to Filner's desire to renegotiate a nearly 40-year deal with the hotelier-run Tourism Marketing District. The district relies on a 2 percent hotel room surcharge estimated to generate $30 million this year for marketing.
That money has been on hold since Jan. 1 because Filner refuses to sign the deal, which was approved by the City Council and hoteliers last year. Filner said he would like a new, shorter deal that requires hotels to provide better pay for hotel workers, more money for city coffers and indemnification for the city if it is deemed illegal in court.
Goldsmith said the current unsigned deal includes indemnification and that a living-wage requirement and contract length are policy decisions made by the council. He also said it would be illegal for the city to receive more money out of the deal because it is a fee that must be used to benefit the party being assessed: hotels. Goldsmith acknowledged in response to a reporter's question that the city could cut a side deal with hoteliers to get more money, but he likened that to a tax increase.
Filner, who attended the University of San Diego's second annual "Conference on Restoring Civility to Civic Dialogue" earlier Wednesday, showed up a few minutes after Goldsmith started and took a seat near the podium. After Goldsmith finished, Filner said the city attorney's advice was "wrong and trivial."
"Of course these are policy decisions that have to be enacted by the City Council," he said. "I was engaged in a negotiation with the hotel owners to see if we could get a change in policy, which would of course have to be ratified by the City Council. You're stating the obvious, which I don't think needs to be stated."

The annual pre-Wimbledon party was held at The Roof Gardens in West London's Kensington last night and the lady ballers of the WTA came out to play.
Check out the photos and fashion from the night. There are also a couple of videos at the end: an inside look at the evening's action and Maria Sharapova answering fans Facebook questions with some cute Brit (who IS that?)
So my overall thought on the evening's fashion is the usual: the WTA needs to hire me as their resident stylist. Oh and they need to hire a make-up artist. No one, I mean NO ONE, should have to deal with sock/strap lines or, worse, putting their face on while traveling in a car to the event. Get it together. (Sorry to be so brief but I'm on deadline with another piece - feel free to leave your thoughts on the night's stylings in the DtL Peanut Gallery.)
Anyway, enjoy!

Dinara and Aggie looked nice and appropriate (cough-Anne K this is not prom-cough).
Venus looked OK as well, but everyone else was a huge NO, especially Carline and Ana, who apparently shop at the same dress store and have the same hairstylist.

You can ALWAYS tell who puts the effort into these events. Maria looked great, copper tone looks great on her. The Williams' looked fab as usual, Serena always goes for the simple yet sexy look. And my third pick would have to be Radwanska, very, and surprisingly, sexy!!ReplyDelete
OMG on Ana, Wozzie,and Chakvetadze!!! WTF!!
Ana thinks bump-its are "in", Wozzie came from a mall fashion show for tweens, and the other Anna had a feather duster in her hand!!! LOL

Longshore workers and their attorneys Friday vowed to keep fighting the proposed Sodo sports arena after a King County judge tossed their lawsuit challenging the location.
"We will continue to oppose this project and the development of a sports-entertainment complex in Sodo that would … drive maritime jobs and business away from Seattle," said Cameron Williams, president of Local 19 of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
Their attorneys took a slightly more conciliatory tone, saying they would be actively involved in the upcoming environmental review, but hadn't yet decided whether to appeal the ruling.
"We're going to be fully involved as they look at traffic impacts, freight movement and the lives of the families that depend on these jobs," said David Mann, attorney for the union.

King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North ruled that an agreement reached in October between the city of Seattle, King County and investor Chris Hansen did not violate state environmental law.
He rejected the union's argument that the months of negotiations and public debate that led up to the agreement created a "snowball effect" that ensured the Sodo site would be approved, regardless of potential environmental impacts.
Attorneys for the city, county and Hansen said the agreement plainly stated that an environmental review would be completed before a final decision was made to issue public bonds or start construction.
The complex agreement outlines the conditions under which the city and county will contribute up to $200 million in public financing for a $490 million arena and how the bonds will be repaid through arena tax revenues. Completing the environmental review is one of those conditions, said Jeff Weber, assistant Seattle city attorney.
Local politicians praised the ruling and promised to carry out the required environmental review.
"This is a big win in our work to bring the Sonics home to Seattle," said Mayor Mike McGinn, who conducted months of secret negotiations with Hansen before unveiling a year ago the outlines of the plan to return professional basketball to the city and attract a National Hockey League team.
County Executive Dow Constantine said the environmental assessment would address the union's concerns about freight mobility.
"We have traffic issues in Sodo with or without an arena. Let's look at what are the genuine transportation issues and develop sensible solutions. It is well within our ability to figure out how to keep people and goods moving through the area," Constantine said in a statement.
The longshore workers said the agreement designated the Sodo site before a required state environmental assessment — including an examination of alternate sites — had been done.
Union officials said they welcomed the return of the Sonics, but not in Sodo.
In court Friday, the union's attorneys argued that Hansen had already used the agreement to purchase the Sacramento Kings, to ask the NBA to relocate the team to Seattle, and had proposed the team play in KeyArena while the Sodo arena was built.
They said state law prohibited any action that limited the choice of alternate sites before the full environmental consequences were known.
"What council could possibly vote this down? What council would leave the Sonics homeless in KeyArena? The entire point (of the agreement) is to make the Sodo arena inevitable," argued Peter Goldman, one of the longshore workers' attorneys.
Jack McCullough, attorney for Hansen's development company, said the union's arguments were based on an "exuberance of imagination," speculation about possible harm that hadn't occurred.
The judge signaled his skepticism of the union arguments early in the hearing. He said the governments were unlikely to approve an alternate location for the arena because "no one was proposing to build an arena elsewhere."
And though he later conceded that the lengthy negotiations and public debate may have created political momentum for a Sodo arena, he said state environmental law doesn't include any language about snowballing or political momentum.
"The issue is whether a binding decision has been made. … What's been done is a framework in advance of SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act). The final decision will be made after SEPA is done," the judge concluded.
The Seattle court proceedings were blogged live in Sacramento, where there were hopes that an adverse ruling could scuttle Hansen's plan to move the Kings to Seattle.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is trying to put together an investment group and an arena plan as attractive as Hansen's.
Michael McCann, an on-air legal analyst for NBA-TV, said the ruling "clears one hurdle for Seattle to get the Kings. I never expected this lawsuit to be the difference in whether the Kings stay in Sacramento or move to Seattle, but it facilitates (a move) and I think it raises the stakes for Kevin Johnson to put together a decisively better package."
But the Seattle arena plan isn't in the clear yet. In addition to the required environmental review, which the city will conduct later this year, a second lawsuit argues that the deal with Hansen violates Seattle Initiative 91, which requires the city to make a profit on any public financing of a sports facility.
That case is set for trial in May 2014.

UM holds first of three public planning meetings for South Campus
The public was invited to an open house in Missoula Wednesday night, to get information and give their input on the proposed South Campus Plan for the University of Montana.
It was the first of three planning meetings about the South Campus Master Plan.
UM's South Campus acreage now includes the UM Golf Course, track and soccer facilities, student housing and bus stops.
The master plan includes new buildings and other projects, starting with the new building for Missoula College, formerly known as the College of Technology.
Supporters and opponents of the plan both showed up Wednesday night to voice their opinions. And the UM Golf Course remained a hot topic for both sides.
"I think it would be a lot more cohesive educationally to put students together," said South Campus supporter Barbara Morgan. "This land as far as I'm concerned is for educational purposes, and I'm not really concerned about golf. There are other nice golf courses in Missoula."
"They're going to take a very iconic structure, the University Golf Course," said opponent Renee Mitchell. "It's been developed for almost 100 years it's used well by this community; it preserves open space that we're also paying $10 million in bond money for."
Two other public meetings are set for early next year. Dates for those meetings have yet to be scheduled.

Alameda, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor
could miss Sunday's game against the Houston Texans if his sprained right knee
doesn't feel better by Saturday.
The Raiders listed Pryor as questionable on Friday after he was limited in
practice for the second day in a row. Oakland coach Dennis Allen said Pryor
took a step back.
"He wasn't as good today as he was yesterday," said Allen. "But you never
know. So we'll take a look at him (Saturday). We're still preparing him to get
ready to play."
Pryor was 11-of-26 for 122 yards last week and threw an interception that led
to the New York Giants' winning points. He missed a game earlier this season
because of a concussion.
Rookie Matt McGloin would make his first NFL start if Pryor doesn't play.
Running back Darren McFadden missed practice all week and will sit out his
second straight game with a hamstring injury. Safety Tyvon Branch (ankle),
wide receiver Juron Criner (shoulder) and cornerback D.J. Hayden (groin) will
also miss the game.
Linebacker Kaluka Maiava (ribs) and tackle Matt McCants (toe) are questionable
to play. Kicker Sebastian Janikowski (ribs) practiced fully on Friday and is

Since 2009, communication professor Vicki Mayer has been the driving force behind MediaNOLA, an interactive repository for art and cultural resources. Now she's hoping to take some of that information to the street with guided multimedia tours that can be accessed through a new mobile phone app called New Orleans Historical.
Mayer says they are using materials already posted by more than 100 Tulane students across six departments and three schools. She adds they may work with tourism agencies and neighborhood associations to make New Orleans Historical a tourism alternative."We're trying to present a more holistic sense of the history of the film economy in New Orleans," Mayer says, telling histories of lesser-known areas. "That could be more interesting for a particular kind of tourist who doesn't want to just hang out on Bourbon Street."

OK so far
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It works on my Mountain bike, I purchased 2 extra chains because it was a single chain was too short. This chain is a 3/32 not a 1/8.
Heavy and stretchy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Besides being ridiculously cheap, there are not many other good attributes about this chain. I bought 3 or 4 on a killer sale on chainlove. I think these are made of lead because they are extremely heavy and stretch like none other. If you get 200 miles on this chain your lucky. I'm not a big guy (150 lbs) but I do ride hard. I threw a new chain on my bike before a 100 mile race. By the time I finished the race, the chain was starting to pop and skip because it had stretched so much. After the race, I kept with the chain, and just retensioned it. At least one a week, almost before each ride, I would have to retension the chain. After about a total of 200 miles, I had almost maxed out my sliders. Spend a little more money and buy a higher quality 8 speed chain. I will be MUCH lighter and stretch at a much more manageable rate.
It's pretty; You get what you pay for
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wanted some coordinating blingy bits for my SS, and this fit the bill. I had to adjust the chain tension quite often through the break-in period, and even after being well worn in it's not the smoothest thing ever, but it still gets the job done in style, and at $4 how can you complain?
I'm rebuilding a Trek 3900. How do I know...
I'm rebuilding a Trek 3900. How do I know if this chain link will be long enough for the bike that I have? Do I just measure my current chain or can I tell by the number of speed? I've changed everything from the tires, the brakes, grips/saddle, etc...but not sure about this one. Also, do I break the current chain to remove it? Any online blog/site/YouTube video I can check out? Thanks so much for the help!!!
Yes, the easiest way to make sure the new chain will be long enough is to count the links on your old chain and buy one with at least as many. This one has 102. You will need a chain tool to remove excess links and/or remove your old chain if it doesn't have a "master" link. I'm sure googling "how to change a bike chain" will get you the videos you want.
More importantly, note this is a SINGLE-SPEED specific chain, as indicated in the title and description. The bike model and "number of speed" you mention implies that you have gears and derailleurs, with which this chain will not play well. Also, if your old chain is truly worn out you probably need to replace your cassette as well, since they tend to wear together. Unless you're ready for a crash course in drivetrain maintenance with some tool purchases, you might just want to take it to your local bike shop.
Decent chain, I got the wrong size so I can't say much about it.
a chain a chain!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
this is a cheap chain for a fixie or bmx tha tyou dont really care too much about and wouldnt feel bad for thrashing around
Cutter single speed chain
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'd say that it's a 3 star chain but if you pedal it spins the wheels and it's so cheap that for the price it's above average.
Great Chain
I just put this on my single speed Luddite and it held up great for the first few rides. For the price it's a great buy and I'm very happy with it.
So far so good
I'm in process of converting a '93 Giant Iguana to a single speed beater/city cruiser and slapped this chain on the other day. Like another reviewer said, it was easy to install. I've only given it a quick spin around the neighborhood but so far it seems solid.
Why does the Green look more like a turqoise...
Why does the Green look more like a turqoise or is the color just off? Will there be other colors offered such as brown or cutter neon green?
Nice SS chain
Cheap, reliable and easy to install. Nice SS chain.
Not so good!
3 rides and I broke this chain. I do like the colors and the price but for a few dollars more why not buy a better chain.
Never had any problems with my KMC chains.
Great price.....but!
Good price on this chain but it only lasted 3 rides before I broke it. IMHO stick with the KMC Z-610-HX (3/16") or the KMC Z-510-HX (1/8) for single speeding.
Great fit, good quality for the price
Nothing to complain about here. Especially at the sale price, you could buy a dozen of these chains for the price of some of the competition.
Is this 3/32 or 1/8? The tech specs say...
Is this 3/32 or 1/8? The tech specs say 1/8 but in the drop down menu to select color it says 3/32. I can only do 1/8 on my set up, so it matters.
It is 3/32nd. I checked in the warehouse. We'll have the specs fixed shortly.

These teens are runway ready
Many teenage girls dream of becoming a model, but there are a few high school girls here in Charleston who are living that dream. The West Virginia Symphony League selected eight teens to participate in its annual fashion show on Wednesday.
"Teens are an important part of the fashion show's history," said Crystal Good, co-chair of the show. "Louise Palumbo ran a similar show for years. She chose a select group of girls from the Stone & Thomas teen board to model. We are just continuing the tradition.
"This year we had an open model call, which meant anyone could come try out," she added. "We were looking for inner and outer beauty. They needed to be able to walk the walk and model, but also represent their community well."
The Symphony League has been producing the fashion show for more than 50 years as a benefit for the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra. This year's theme is "Let the Good Times Roll," and the show takes place at Smith Company Motor Cars
The eight teens selected for the show are George Washington students Amber Biel, 14, a freshman; Amelia Edmondson, 15, a freshman; Blaire Rigney, 18, a senior and Caroline Walker, 18, a senior, as well as Montana Barker, 18, a senior at Clay County High School; Taylor Deer, 18, a senior at Charleston Catholic High School; Olivia Morrison, 16, a junior at Hurricane High School and Frannie Slotnick, 17, a senior at South Charleston High School.
"I like to model and thought this fashion show was a great opportunity," Edmonson said.
In September, Edmondson won Charleston Town Center's Project Style competition and is the face of the mall this year. She has participated in the Goodwill fashion show, too.
Barker has also already done some modeling. Last year, she was chosen as Gladys magazine's Gladys Girl of the Year and is featured on the cover of its current issue.
All the girls had different reasons for trying out. "I thought it was for a good cause, and I just love to be in the spotlight," Deer said.
Slotnick stated, "I watched the show last year and thought it would be fun."
Several of the girls dream of becoming professional models.
"It has always been my dream to become a model," Morrison said.
"Whenever I get out of high school, I'd love to move to New York or Florida to model," said Edmondson, whose mother is a former model.
On March 1, the girls got an early start with their modeling when they attended a photo shoot at Bluegrass Kitchen. (Barker was absent.) They were dressed in attire from the local stores Mission Savvy and Collage and had their makeup done by aesthetician Erica Burdette. They were photographed by Emily Sotomayor, a senior at Charleston Catholic High School.
Tickets to the show are sold out, but you can contact Melissa Marland at 304-925-5017 to be put on a waiting list.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Tonda Twitty and Marilyn Phillips were in the audience Tuesday night when Mayor Vincent Gray made the announcement that brought a standing ovation: He would propose that the District spend $100 million dollars on affordable housing.
Both women had completed a program at Manna Housing, a non profit, that would allow them to qualify for up to $40,000 dollars each in down payment subsidies under the Mayor's plan.
Gray says the $100 million will go toward 10,000 new or existing units. Senior citizens, police, fire and other city workers would be eligible.
Advocates while applauding the news say much more is needed. Almost 70,000 people now make up the waiting list just for public housing and vouchers for private sector rental units.

Making A Truck Bed - Weekend UpdateWritten by on July 19, 2011 It's Bedtime for Project '57 |
So, that ol' pickup of yours needs a bed, does it? Well, mine did too. The only problem is I didn't have the cash on hand to pick up the phone and order one of those fancy aftermarket assemblies—and I'm guessing there's a good chance you don't either. So at this point the best option is to take stock and check out what we've got to see what's repairable and what's not. In my case, after a bit of close inspection I realized (as will most of you) that though the bed was pretty beat, there were portions that were still usable—thank goodness. On mine, about the only pieces worth saving (or that I had at all) were the two side panels, the largest and most expensive parts of a bed. Sure, they'd seen more than their share of abuse over the years, and if money was no object I'd definitely replace 'em, but like I said, money is an issue and thankfully, all in all, they seemed repairable (especially since from the outside three-quarters of 'em are covered by the rear fenders).
So, it was with this in mind I whipped out my dog-eared LMC Truck catalog and carried it out back to the dwindling pile of parts that'd come with the '57 when I first got a hold of it (as you may recall, mine was the remains of a friend's parts truck so I really started out with everything deemed unusable by its prior owner). I dug through the pile and pulled out what pieces I thought were bed parts and soon found that about the only pieces that I had were the two bedsides. The tailgate was missing and the front panel was so bowed that it was useless. This discovery (and the exploded view of the bed shown in the LMC Truck catalog) made it pretty easy to identify just what I'd need to whip together my cargo bed.
In short order I had compiled my shopping list and then headed to the garage to sit down and do some figuring. I compared the total cost of the LMC Truck parts list to the cost of a complete aftermarket bed assembly and in my case, when shipping costs and all were taken into consideration, it looked like individual replacement parts were the way to go (by a small margin mind you, but hey, these days dollar bills count). So take a look at how I was able to sew together a cargo bed for the '57 in one Saturday afternoon thanks to my trusty LMC Truck catalog and a bit of help from my dear ol' pop. CT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Since I'd gotten to the point you see here I was pretty excited to see what it'd look like with a bed, especially since I'd ordered a new pair of LMC Truck replacement rear fenders way back with my very first sheetmetal order.After digging through the '57's parts pile, the two bedside panels were about the only usable parts I had on hand. They were pretty beat, but repairable—thank goodness.As has been the case since I began purchasing parts from LMC Truck, my order arrived in just a few days and was in perfect shape thanks to the care they take in packaging. I had ordered a new front bed panel, three floor support bars, a rear support bar, and an OEM-style tailgate panel. Along with these components I ordered a set of fender bolts and a set of clutch-head sockets to match the OEM-style bolts.The bed floor supports will actually be used down the road a bit as I'm planning on raising my bed floor to clear the C'd rear framerails I'd previously added to accommodate my air ride suspension.This is the rear bed support. It and the front bed panel are the components that tie the bedsides together, creating the bed perimeter. The rear bed-to-frame mounting points are part of this rear support bar as well.At the risk of sounding like a shill, I just can't help repeating how impressed I am with the quality of these LMC Truck replacement panels (fit, finish, and metal thickness).I've used plenty of patch and replacement panels in the past and these have so far been the best I've ever used—LMC must really be tough customers when it comes to their suppliers.The original side panels were in decent shape with virtually no rot, but plenty of surface rust and small dents. Here you can see an example of one of the mounting flanges with rusted bolts and twisted flanges.
After the hammer work was done, Pop and I each grabbed a panel and stripped them of old paint and surface rust. Thanks again, Pop!I found it easier to lay one side of the bedsides face down on the floor so I could attach the new front panel and rear support bar to it. Assembling it in this manner allowed me to get at the bolts, washers, and nuts (3⁄16x1 inch) in place and snugged.Once the new parts were attached to that one bedside we tipped it over onto its side (and then up on its front panel) and attached the other bedside panel and snugged up the bolts.Once the perimeter of the bed was together and the bolts snugged (not tightened fully) me and Pop then checked to make sure the bed was square by measuring from corner-to-corner, making adjustments as needed until the measurements matched as closely as possible. When we got it as close to on-the-money as we could I then tightened up the nuts 'n' bolts as much as possible so they'd hold the bed square as we moved it around and lifted it into place on the truck's frame.

LMC Truck offers these nice rubber trunnion assemblies that make opening and closing the gate smooth and quiet.Since I already had a pair of brand-new LMC Truck replacement fenders on hand, I had ordered a set of OEM-style clutch-head fender bolts (and a clutch-head socket set, too) in this latest order. Pop and I then proceeded to bolt the fenders on and called it an afternoon. You may notice that we stopped at the fenders. This was due to two factors; first, I'd made a mistake on my LMC Truck order and ended up giving them part numbers for side step assemblies for a longbed rather than the shortbed ones I needed, and second, I'm planning on raising the bed floor as well. So, you'll see those being installed when I get to the bed floor installation. See ya then!
