Nicholas Opiyo, one of the attorneys for the ten petitioners who succeeded on convincing Uganda's Constitutional Court to nullify the Anti-Homosexuality Act on procedural grounds last Fiday, has tweeteed that the Attorney General of Uganda has made good on his vow to appeal the ruling to the country's Supreme Court:
Attorney General of Uganda has lodged a notice of appeal against the AHA ruling of the constitutional court. We'll head to the Supreme Court
— Nicholas Opiyo (@nickopiyo) August 8, 2014
@JosephOkito At this point it is only a notice. The grounds of appeal will be filed later. That is the procedure
— Nicholas Opiyo (@nickopiyo) August 8, 2014
Opiyo spoke to TIME magazine about what has and hasn't changed since the Anti-Homosexuality Act was struck down:
Nothing has changed much. The deep sense of homophobia in Uganda remains unchanged. In any case, it's only been made worse by this ruling, because the debate has been reopened in a more bitter and fierce manner than we've seen before. To be positive, certain incidental things that are good will happen because of the ruling. First, individuals and organizations that have been facing arrest, intimidation or investigation will now have all those cases against them dropped, because the very foundation for these cases has now been declared unlawful. Organizations that have been closed under the [Anti-Homosexuality Act] will now have their operations resume without the fear of the law constricting their work. Even if parliament is resolved, as they are now, to reintroduce the law … they will at least pay attention, some attention to the issues that we have raised in our petition, and perhaps have a somewhat watered down or even—I'm hoping—progressive law in that regard.
This law was one of a couple of instances of morality politics coming into play in Uganda. What do you think the draw is to laws like this in Uganda and across Africa?
There has been a growing influence of American evangelical ideologies in the policies of government in Uganda. The examples are plenty in Uganda—in the HIV/AIDS campaign, Uganda was praised for its response to the HIV/AIDS campaign because it had the message for condom use. When the Christian evangelists got a foothold in influencing government, the policies changed from condom use to abstinence and being faithful. Condoms were "by-the-way;" that was the influence of what we call in Uganda people who are saved. If you look at the laws that have passed since then, whether it is a media law or an NGO law, it has a strong element of public morality. That's new, what seems to be in my view, a moralization of the legislation process. They have a strong foothold in government mainly because the Pentecostal movement is a big movement. They have numbers, they have young people, and they have a huge following. Politicians like numbers.
MP Fox Odoi Oywelowo, one of the ten named petitioners to Uganda's Constitutional Court, has criticized AHA supporters for petitioning Speaker Rebecca Kadaga to circumvent Parliament's rules again and call for a snap vote on the law without formally reintroducing it in Parliament and following the normal procedures for passing a bill:
A day earlier, well-respected journalist Andrew Mwenda, who was also one of the petitioners, appeared on an NTV Uganda talk show to talk about the Anti-Homosexuality Act in a global context:
Daily Monitor, Uganda's largest independent newspaper, reports that the Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom and the U.S. are resuming foreign aid to Uganda. And just four days after the court nullified the law, President Barack Obama and the First Lady welcomed Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for a White House dinner during a three-day summit of 50 African heads of state in Washington, D.C. The photo of the three, which was released by the State Department, drew criticisms from human rights advocates:
"Rolling out the literal red carpet for some of Africa's longest serving dictators that clearly do not respect the fundamental human rights of their citizens will always paint an unfortunate picture of the U.S. and our relationship with the continent," Jeffrey Smith of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights told the Washington Blade on Thursday. "It provides easy ammunition to critics who claim the U.S. is only interested in working with those who lend a hand in the fight against terrorism, like Uganda, or those who sit on vast oil reserves, as in Nigeria."
Nikki Mawanda, a transgender advocate from Uganda who is currently seeking asylum in the U.S., also questioned Obama's decision to invite Museveni to the White House. "It's basically beyond proper," Mawanda told the Blade on Thursday. "It shows us the president is very comfortable with what Museveni is doing and basically they can sit and mingle."
Also attending the White House dinner were:

Over the weekend, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Justice Department will urge the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold lower court rulings which have struck down bans against same-sex marriage in more than twenty states:
If the Supreme Court agrees to hear any of those cases, the Justice Department will file a brief with the court that "will be in support of same-sex marriage," Holder said in a rare interview, sitting down with ABC News' Pierre Thomas.
Holder said the brief would be "consistent with the actions that we have taken over the past couple of years." The Justice Department has refused to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, and its legal efforts to extend federal benefits to same-sex couples have been successful.
Holder called the battle for marriage equality "a defining civil rights challenge of our time."
Last week, the Attorney General's office for the state of Utah announced that it would take its appeal of a lower court ruling striking down the state's same-sex marriage ban straight to the U.S. Supreme Court rather than ask for an en banc hearing before the entire Tenth Circuit. A three-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit in June upheld a Federal District Court's ruling which declared Utah's ban against same-sex marriage unconstitutional.
February 24th, 2014
The State Department released this statement from Secretary of State John Kerry:
This is a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights. Ultimately, the only answer is repeal of this law.
The United States is deeply disappointed in the enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda. For the four years since the bill was introduced, we have been crystal clear that it blatantly violates human rights obligations that Uganda's Human Rights Commission itself has recognized are enshrined in Uganda's Constitution
Today's signing threatens a dangerous slide backward in Uganda's commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and a serious threat to the LGBT community in Uganda.
We are also deeply concerned about the law's potential to set back public health efforts in Uganda, including those to address HIV/AIDS, which must be conducted in a non-discriminatory manner in order to be effective.
As President Obama stated, this legislation is not just morally wrong, it complicates a valued relationship. Now that this law has been enacted, we are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the Government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values.
From Nigeria to Russia and Uganda, we are working globally to promote and protect the human rights of all persons. The United States will continue to stand against any efforts to marginalize, criminalize, and penalize vulnerable persons in any society.
The White House Press Secretary adds:
Instead of standing on the side of freedom, justice, and equal rights for its people, today, regrettably, Ugandan President Museveni took Uganda a step backward by signing into law legislation criminalizing homosexuality. As President Obama has said, this law is more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in Uganda, it reflects poorly on the country's commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and will undermine public health, including efforts to fight HIV/AIDS. We will continue to urge the Ugandan government to repeal this abhorrent law and to advocate for the protection of the universal human rights of LGBT persons in Uganda and around the world.
February 18th, 2014
National Security Adviser Susan Rice's Tweeted on Sunday saying, she "Spoke at length with President Museveni last night to urge him not to sign anti-LGBT bill." In a following Tweet, she echoed Obama's statement, adding: "Told him it will be huge step backward for Uganda and the world." Uganda's independent Daily Monitor this morning provided some additional information on that conversation:
Barely 24 hours after his Kyankwanzi pronouncement, the President was already facing the "battle" with the American National Security Adviser, Ms Susan Rice, calling Mr Museveni to express her government's and Mr Obama's reservations on the matter.
According to the Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary, Ambassador James Mugume, the Americans had called to offer "further evidence" that homosexuality is a natural behaviour in contradiction with what the local scientists had presented.
"We are discussing with the US government. We are waiting to see what they have [to present]. I am told that the Americans have some materials and evidence that they feel were left out by our scientists," Mr Mugume said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Asked when the US was scheduled to table the said evidence, Ambassador Mugume could not give a clear time-line, only saying: "It will not take a lot of time. It will be soon."

February 16th, 2014
The WHite House has issued this statement by President Barack Obama on Uganda's pending adoption of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill:
As a country and a people, the United States has consistently stood for the protection of fundamental freedoms and universal human rights. We believe that people everywhere should be treated equally, with dignity and respect, and that they should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, no matter who they are or whom they love.
That is why I am so deeply disappointed that Uganda will shortly enact legislation that would criminalize homosexuality. The Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda, once law, will be more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in Uganda. It will be a step backward for all Ugandans and reflect poorly on Uganda's commitment to protecting the human rights of its people. It also will mark a serious setback for all those around the world who share a commitment to freedom, justice and equal rights.
As we have conveyed to President Museveni, enacting this legislation will complicate our valued relationship with Uganda. At a time when, tragically, we are seeing an increase in reports of violence and harassment targeting members of the LGBT community from Russia to Nigeria, I salute all those in Uganda and around the world who remain committed to respecting the human rights and fundamental human dignity of all persons.

It's official: Marriage equality is coming to Illinois. #LoveIsLove pic.twitter.com/uAL0UhpCbA

Jay Leno: Something that shocked me about Russia and I'm surprised this is not a huge story. Suddenly, homosexuality is against the law. I mean, this seems like Germany. Let's round up the Jews, let's round up the gays, let's round up the blacks… I mean, it starts with that: you round up people who you don't like… I mean, why isn't more of the world outraged at this?
Barack Obama: Well, I've been very clear that when it comes to universal rights, when it comes to people's basic freedoms, whether you are discriminating on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, you are violating the basic morality that I think should transcend every country. And I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays of lesbians or transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them. Now, what's happening in Russia is not unique. When I travelled to Africa, there were some countries that were doing a lot of good things for their people who we're working with and helping on development issues, but in some cases have persecuted gays and lesbians. And it makes for some uncomfortable press conferences sometimes. But one of the things I think is very important for me to speak out on is making sure that people are treated fairly and justly because that's what we stand for and I believe that that's a precept that's not unique to America. That's something that should apply everywhere. [Applause]
Leno: Do you think it will affect the Olympics?
Obama: You know, I think Putin and Russia have a big stake in making sure that the Olympics work, and I think that they understand that for most of the countries that participate in the Olympics, we wouldn't tolerate gays and lesbians being treated differently. They are athletes. They are there to compete. And if Russia wants to uphold the Olympic spirit, then every judgment should be made on the track or in the swimming pool or the balance beam and people's sexual orientation shouldn't have anything to do with it.
That exchange between Leno and Obama took place last night on the Tonight Show. This morning, the White House has announced that Obama is canceling the planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin which had been scheduled to take place next Monday ahead of the September G-20 summit in St. Petersburg. While press secretary Jay Carney cited "lack of progress" on a broad range of issues over the last year, the cancelation is seen as a display of White House anger over Russia's decision to grant Edward Snowden temporary asylum.
Update: A White House official confirmed to John Avarosis that Russia's anti-gay law was one of many factors leading to the cancellation:
An Obama administration official just confirmed to me that today's sudden cancellation of President Obama's anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during next month's G20 meeting in Russia was in part due to the President's concerns about the deteriorating gay rights situation in Russia.
The official told me that among the concerns leading to the cancellation of the bilateral meeting with Putin was the worsening human rights situation in Russia, which specifically included the Russian government's recent crackdown on the gay and trans community.
The Washington Blade confirms the statement.
July 19th, 2013
A Report that the Justice Department filed a brief opposing a request by gay veterans and their spouses for judgment in their favor their challenge to veterans' benefits statutes led to some confusion as to what the Justice Department's objections really were. One interpretation was that the Justice Department was trying to take up the work of the GOP-controlled House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) after BLAG announced that they would drop their efforts to prevent the veterans spousal and family benefits from being extended to married same-sex couples. But according to the actual filing by the Justice Department:
In light of the Supreme Court's decision in Windsor, striking down Section 3 of DOMA, the Department of Defense will now construe the definitional provisions of "spouse" in Titles 10and 32 to include same-sex spouses See Extending Benefits to Same-Sex Domestic Partners of Military Members, Memorandum for Secretaries of the Military Departments, Feb. 11, 2013, available at http://www.defense.gov/news/Same-SexBenefitsMemo.pdf ("In the event that the Defense of Marriage Act is no longer applicable to the Department of Defense, it will be the policy of the Department to construe the words 'spouse' and 'marriage' without regard to sexualorientation, and married couples, irrespective of sexual orientation, and their dependents, will begranted full military benefits."). The Department of Defense intends to expeditiously make available benefits provided under Titles 10 and 32 to the same-sex spouses of servicemembers. To that end, the Department of Defense is currently working to revamp its Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System ("DEERS"), a computerized database of military sponsors, families and others who are entitled to various military benefits. Indeed, the central claim in the Complaint is Plaintiffs' inability to enroll in DEERS, which in turn has prevented Plaintiffs fromfiling claims for military benefits.
Because the Supreme Court has already struck down Section 3 of DOMA in Windsor, there is no need for this Court to grant any declaratory relief with respect to Section 3 of DOMA.There is also no need for this Court to grant declaratory or injunctive relief with respect to the definitional provisions of Titles 10 and 32. As noted above, the government will apply these provisions in light of Windsor to include same-sex spouses. There is no longer any dispute with respect to Defendants' obligations to process and consider Plaintiffs' claims for military benefits because the government agrees that it needs to do so, and is working to do so as it implements the Supreme Court's decision in Windsor. Given the government's agreement, there is no longer any case or controversy with respect to Plaintiffs' Titles 10 and 32 claims.
The Justice Department then went on to argue that, with DOMA3 out of the way and the Defense Department moving to implement the Windsor decision, the court had no jurisdiction on procedural grounds. BLAG was seeking to block veterans spouses from accessing veterans benefits altogether, which is precisely the opposite of what this motion says.
July 19th, 2013
Earlier today we learned that the House Bipartisan Legal Legal Advisory Group (BLAG), under the direction of Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner, had ceased defending any of the laws which seek to distinguish between opposite-sex and same-sex marriage. Most of us assumed that meant that there was no opposition to the judge in McLaughlin v. Panetta awarding spousal benefits.
But in an odd turn of events, the Obama Administration has stepped in to oppose the assignment of benefits. (Chris Geidner at BuzzFeed, who has been all over this story).
The Justice Department, however, goes on to claim two reasons why the court should not rule in the veterans and their same-sex spouses on their claims regarding Title 38. The first is an argument that "no plaintiff has sufficiently alleged that he or she has applied for or would be entitled to veterans' benefits but for the definitional provisions in Title 38."
"We disagree with that and will be addressing that with the court," an attorney for the plaintiffs, Christopher Man with Chadbourne and Park, told BuzzFeed Thursday night.
The second reason, according to Justice Department lawyers, is that the court doesn't have "jurisdiction to hear any claim for veterans' benefits" because the Veterans' Judicial Review Act "provides an exclusive review scheme for veterans to pursue benefits claims, including raising constitutional challenges to statutes and regulations that govern veterans' benefits."
While the second reason may have some technical merit (outweighed, I believe, by the question before the judge about the constitutionality of unequal treatment), the first is mouth-gapingly nonsense. It is difficult to fathom how suing in federal court for benefits is not sufficient evidence that Major McLaughlin would have applied for them had they been available.
June 27th, 2013
One of the unsettled questions in light of yesterday's DOMA ruling is whether a same-sex couple living in Pennsylvania (where there is no marriage equality in state law) but married in New York (where there is) is entitled to federal recognition of their marriage. President Barack Obama, speaking while on tour in Africa, has White House lawyers looking into the issue:
He says as president, he believes federal benefits should be granted to couples married in a state that recognizes gay marriage even if they move to a state that doesn't.
Obama says he asked his lawyers to start evaluating how to update federal statutes to grant gay couples federal benefits even before the high court ruled.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced the Respect for Marriage Act in their respective chambers yesterday, which would repeal the remaining provision of DOMA that allows states to ignore lawful same-sex marriages performed in other states. It would also explicitly clarify the question of whether Federal recognition of a marriage is dependent on the couple's residency. While the measure enjoys bipartisan support, no movement is expected in the GOP-controlled House.
June 26th, 2013
President Barack Obama issued the following statement:
I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal – and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
This ruling is a victory for couples who have long fought for equal treatment under the law; for children whose parents' marriages will now be recognized, rightly, as legitimate; for families that, at long last, will get the respect and protection they deserve; and for friends and supporters who have wanted nothing more than to see their loved ones treated fairly and have worked hard to persuade their nation to change for the better
So we welcome today's decision, and I've directed the Attorney General to work with other members of my Cabinet to review all relevant federal statutes to ensure this decision, including its implications for Federal benefits and obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly.
On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation's commitment to religious freedom is also vital. How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing about this decision – which applies only to civil marriages – changes that.
The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.
Attorney General Eric Holder is responds to the President's request:
Today's historic decision in the case of United States v. Windsor, declaring Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, is an enormous triumph for equal protection under the law for all Americans. The Court's ruling gives real meaning to the Constitution's promise of equal protection to all members of our society, regardless of sexual orientation. This decision impacts a broad array of federal laws. At the President's direction, the Department of Justice will work expeditiously with other Executive Branch agencies to implement the Court's decision. Despite this momentous victory, our nation's journey – towards equality, opportunity, and justice for everyone in this country – is far from over. Important, life-changing work remains before us. And, as we move forward in a manner consistent with the Court's ruling, the Department of Justice is committed to continuing this work, and using every tool and legal authority available to us to combat discrimination and to safeguard the rights of all Americans.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel also issued a statement promising to "immediately begin the process" of ensuring all military spouses enjoy the same benefits "as soon as possible":
The Department of Defense welcomes the Supreme Court's decision today on the Defense of Marriage Act. The department will immediately begin the process of implementing the Supreme Court's decision in consultation with the Department of Justice and other executive branch agencies. The Department of Defense intends to make the same benefits available to all military spouses — regardless of sexual orientation — as soon as possible. That is now the law and it is the right thing to do.
Every person who serves our nation in uniform stepped forward with courage and commitment. All that matters is their patriotism, their willingness to serve their country, and their qualifications to do so. Today's ruling helps ensure that all men and women who serve this country can be treated fairly and equally, with the full dignity and respect they so richly deserve.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for "cross-gender disturbance" in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation's embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that "[Paul] Cameron's 'science' echoes Nazi Germany." What the SPLC didn"t know was Cameron doesn't just "echo" Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution's architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a "plausible idea" in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the "Dutch Study" to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins' Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family "Research" Council.
The FBI's annual Hate Crime Statistics aren't as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Yes on the Charter for Auburn!
The Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution of the United States believed in local control. The closer civil government is to the people, the more responsive and accountable it is likely to be. And that is the intent of the Auburn charter. We the people, the citizens of Auburn will realize more control over our own destiny, save money, add accountability to control local municipal affairs and generally promote Auburn first by becoming a charter city!
Unfortunately, the State of California has become so dysfunctional that our politicians in their infinite wisdom have created a situation where California ranks dead last in the nation in "business friendliness" and the foreseeable future looks to continue with the same dysfunction. The powers that be at the state capital have created for 2011–12, expenditures that will exceed revenues by $22 billion and leave the state with a year–end deficit of over $28 billion according to the Legislative Analyst's Office. And at the same time Sacramento continues to chase businesses out of the state which would otherwise generate taxes to help offset the deficit. A total lack of "common sense" runs rampant at the state capital, which is one of the reasons Auburn must vote for local control. We as citizens must use our "common sense" and do what is best to protect our town from the coming invasion of the money grabbers in Sacramento.
Given that the state is broke; this dysfunctional Legislature will now try to seize control of revenues from cities and counties. They will continue to impose ill-conceived mandates on Auburn that will adversely impact public safety, increase sewer rates, housing costs, and especially threaten volunteer-led community projects. The League of California Cities lists 10 major bills that threaten local control for cities. Local governments including Auburn will be faced with more restrictions and less choice as this impaired Legislature gropes for new ways to fix the problems they have created.
That is why it is imperative that we the people, citizens of Auburn take control of our own destiny by becoming a charter city. The California Constitution allows a general-law city like Auburn to, with a majority vote of its residents, convert to a charter city and thereby shift power to local city officials and "not" be subject to the many stringent and costly mandates required of a general law city.
To date, with more converting each election cycle; 120 cities in California including Folsom, Roseville, Grass Valley, Truckee, Sacramento, Marysville, Napa, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles have become charter cities. Why, simple; protection from reckless spending, mismanagement, dysfunction and the coming "money" grab by the state.
Did you know that mandates from Sacramento politicians increase your sewer bill? The Auburn charter will save ratepayers at least $2 million over the next six years. How, by allowing the city to contract for sewer repairs with local contractors paying local wages versus the state imposed grossly high "prevailing wage" rates. And notice I said "local" contractors; a charter city would exempt Auburn from the "prevailing wage" state imposed mandate and allow local contractors to submit bids and win city contracts which will provide "local" jobs! (Note:?The state supreme court is currently reviewing prevailing wage law).
The charter will require a performance-based budget to ensure more transparency and accountability on how Auburn tax dollars are spent and the level of services that are provided by the city. The salary of the mayor and council members shall continue to be set pursuant to the law applicable to the general law cities and neither shall receive a pension or unemployment insurance. The charter city language specifically states that this charter shall not be interpreted as giving the city greater authority to raise taxes or fees or to create new taxes or fees beyond our current powers, that of a general law city.
Another huge item is that of "Volunteerism"; according to state law, on Jan. 1, 2017, the city will be prohibited from using volunteers unless the volunteers are paid the prevailing wage! How absolutely ludicrous is that. Auburn is a titan when it comes to volunteers; community events, sprucing up the town, police department volunteers, supporting events like the Amgen Bike Tour, protecting residents and firefighters from a catastrophic fire with Project Canyon Safe, again the only way to protect these volunteer projects is for Auburn to become a charter city!
Bottom line; as a resident of Auburn, if you want to maximize local control, gain more accountability, save money, eliminate reckless and costly mandates from the state, secure protection from the coming state "money" grab, spawn new local jobs, safeguard volunteerism, and predominantly promote "Think Auburn First" there's only one solution: Vote Yes on the charter for Auburn!

"I was really upset because I always read the newspaper every morning," says Valerie Crowell from Baldwinsville. "I never go online to check the news, so I didn't know what I was going to do without the newspaper every day."
Others say they believe the changes were probably inevitable.
"It's a small media market, and with Internet media being the way that it is, and so many people being able to publish so much so quickly, it's very difficult for somebody who has one shot each day to stay viable," says Nick Cortese from Binghamton.
No matter what readers think of the new format, though, the ones we spoke with all agree, they don't want to see more layoffs in Syracuse.

Topic: Bias in Usability Testing
Speaker: Carolyn Snyder
When: Tuesday, October 30, 2007
6:30 - 7:00pm Food, Beverages & Networking
7:00 - 7:15pm NH-UX Info Update
7:15 - 8:15pm Presentation
Where: Fidelity, 2 Contra Way, Merrimack NH (Directions to Follow)
RSVP: Please RSVP to Amy Cueva: amy at madpow.net
In usability testing, we strive to eliminate bias so that the results will
be accurate. But what is bias anyway? How does it affect our results? What
can we do about it? And are we, as usability specialists, truly objective?
Usability consultant Carolyn Snyder will lead a stimulating discussion about
bias in usability testing - something we encounter on a daily basis but may
not consciously think about. There are many sources of bias in usability
testing, from users to tasks to reporting. Every testing methodology is
biased, and so are we as facilitators. But bias is not something to be
shunned. Instead, we need to understand its sources and weigh its effects.
Sometimes, bias can even be harnessed to serve our purpose. Come to this
presentation and you'll never look at your testing methods the same way
Carolyn Snyder is an independent usability consultant in the greater Boston
area. In the past 15 years she has conducted hundreds of usability tests on
dozens of products and interfaces. Carolyn is the author of the book Paper
Prototyping (she'll give away a copy at this presentation) and co-author of
two books on web site usability. She has a BS in Computer Science and an
MBA, both of which have biased her perspective :-). More information

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 758 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 46bg The Liberty Beautiful, comfortable, ideal location. April 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BizTraveler14 Weekend visit - rude awakening Such a nice surprise to be met with a glass of champagne upon my arrival! Staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Room very comfortable. Midnight fire alarm was a rude awakening (literally), and while staff apologized, did nothing to make amends for party on 4th floor. Scampo restaurant staff were very rude, had open tables but wouldn't seat us for dinner. Finally placed us a communal table (which was fun) which never filled up. Expected better.Other than that, loved the hotel. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Peppermint Superb! The Liberty is a hotel that deserves international acclaim. The staff was exceptional and the facilities were superb. We could not have been more pleased. April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AZBB Great place to stay Overall, a fabulous hotel, lots of fun, great restautants, wonderful staff. Our only problem was trying to connect to the internet "Premium Service" for the faster speed connection and multiple devices. That never was possible, and made using the internet much slower, for example, trying to download a movie. But, other than that, would be highly recommended. April 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by April14 April14 Great hotel. Love the jail and the comfort. April 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ermichele WONDERFUL OVERNIGHT From the moment my friend and i were met at the front door by the friendly staff, I knew this was going to be a great overnight of relaxing and fun. Everyone was very professional, the room was comfortable and very quiet. Breakfast in the CLINK was very tasty as well as our hot toddies the night before. i loved the atmosphere of the hotel and hope to come back soon. Thank you April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CarmenanSinbad awesome stay - great recovery I rarely write reviews but the service on my stay here was so outstanding that I feel compelled. I made a reservation with my SPG points and am a gold member. When I checked in to the standard double room I reserved, I had a view into an operating room at the MGH across the walkway - needless to say, a rather off putting view for all but surgical voyeurs. After profuse apologies and a comp bottle of wine, the great staff agreed to change and upgrade my room the next day when something became available. I like everything about this hotel - the coffee in the mornings, the newspapers, the well documented historical aspects, the crazy lobby parties - they even sell iphone chargers at the concierge desk for the Apple price- no price gouging to the distraught customer who just discovered that they left their charger at the last business stop. On this trip, a good recovery is worth more than a totally smooth check-in. Kudos to whoever hires and trains this staff as they have the "customer first" mentality ( especially the bellman Mark) and the soothing words to go along. I have stayed here numerous times to visit my daughter in college and will keep coming back. March 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by hmansouri Great design and staff, lacks maintenance I love this hotel. The design and feel of it is amazing, but there are a few issues, here are the bullet points -The room service is quite disappointing (it is pretty bad). -The staff are very friendly but they seem understaffed because a lot of requests were left unattended to. -Shower was very week. -TV is quite amazing -Lounge is amazing -Mood and feel of the hotel is unique -Walls are quite thin -The service is slow - A lot of things aren't working well (scale, phone, safe, power outlets) -The rooms are modern and very clean March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by srb23 Fantastic Stay in Boston Loved this hotel in every way. Trendy, comfortable, fun, restaurants were delish and everyone was wonderful. Beyond pleased and will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Boston. March 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Troyboy1 Troyboy1 We checked into the hotel early 4/21 after arriving from Nashville for a MGH medical conference. It took several days to realize why our room 1109 had no counter space; it was a handicappped room. We did not request a handicapped room and were not asked if this was satisfactory. Reservations were made several weeks in advance and our early arrival insured that a regular king-nonsmoking room was available. By not being informed that we may have had a choice of rooms, I am disappointed that I was not informed of this upon checkin. March 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by longtimelistener Letting some of the little things go coffee maker in my room was broken, shower leaked gallons of water onto the floor - great hotel but not attending to the details March 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Luci1965 The good and the bad This hotel has character, but there are some watch outs. You are greeted with champagne and can purchase packages. The staff is friendly but the front lacks control when you need a cab or your car. Although our package included an extended check out, the maid still kept knocking. Also, the walls are paper thin so you can hear it all!! March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bodie89 Room Size on "King Deluxe" (up-grade room) The hotel was fabulous, the dinner was wonderful and the lounge area was really fun! Upon checking in we were offered a complementary glass of champagne..nice touch! My only question was I reserved the "King Deluxe" Room and was a tad disappointed... the size of the room was small. Would have taken the regular room and saved the "$" Other than that it's a great hotel! March 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PEGGYSUE ULTIMATE HOTEL EXPERIENCE I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS HOTEL, IT'S STAFF AND REPRESENTATION EVEN BEFORE WE ARRIVED!! OVER THE PHONE WE MET MN BRIAN! YOU ARE A DOLL AND PUT US AT SUCH EASE COMING TO A NEW CITY. UPON ARRIVAL I MISSED THE NAMES OF CHECK IN STAFF BUT I THINK BELLHOP SAID JASON?

LOVE TO YOU BRIAN - YOU ARE A TREMENDOUS ASSET THE LIBERTY HOTEL AND I DO HOPE WE CAN KEEP IN TOUCH:) March 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Houston123 noise from next door It is the first time I spend time writing hotel review. Rooms do not have good sound proof. We could hear adult screaming from next door 2am at night. Also, not paying attention to our request at reservation, the front desk gave my 2 children a king bed instead of double. We have to call in from room to complain then move to another floor after we already settled our luggage. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by emso Couldn't ask for more I've been staying at the Liberty for 5 years, and the service is always impeccable. The staff are consistently just the right balance of professional and friendly. I've never had a bad experience there. You will continue to get my business. The rooms are elegant, tasteful and comfortable. March 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JillianBrooke Excellent stay! Everything from the staff to the decor was amazing! Keep up the good work everyone!! March 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MJenn Great time We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Liberty Hotel! I came for my birthday weekend - and I didn't tell the Liberty - but they surprised me with a nice birthday gift. Attention to details was fantastic! March 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by jwericks4444 Underwhelmed I've been staying at the Liberty for a couple years and I have to admit the standard of service keeps getting worse and worse. Two cases in point. First, the internet was extremely spotty during not only my most recent stay but also the last time I had stayed there. I tried to use both the complementary service as well as the paid service and both were very slow on multiple devices that I used. I had called Services and they mentioned that they were switching to a new wi-fi network and to "keep trying". Really? You need to do more than that. Second, i realize it is a perk but one of the nice things about the Luxury Collection is the complementary shoe shine. On my last stay there, I had called Services the night before and asked to please pick up my shoes. They indicated that they would pick it right up. However, in the morning, the shoes were there, still dirty. Not a huge issue, just surprised. Both of these things are minor issues but they seem to be a sign that the Liberty is slipping somewhat. There is a premium to stay there and for me these types of services are worth the premium. If not, there are many other Starwood properties in Boston to choose from. February 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by beth3726 Impressed Very impressed with quality February 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by lyna interesting design interesting jail concept. happy we didn't check in friday or saturday night once the club scene starts!! Beds could have been more comfortable for a 4.5 star hotel and toilet made noise after every flush. view was beautiful on city side but our room was close to elevator so you could hear it running. February 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jack54NH Excellent facilities....minor nits to pick... Excellent facility and rooms. The dining choices are very good. Smooth arrival and departing job by the door staff....Nice touch offering the champagne when you do make it to the check in desk. During peak periods management needs to have more people on the front desk for check in. I waited much too long for check in. While my Platinum status was acknowledged, I was not upgraded as far as the room goes. Also, room did not have an in-room dining menu. Whose Idea was it to remove the chairs from the reception lobby bar outside Clink in the evening causing patrons to stand? Not a fan. February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Beutiful, Centrally Located, Perfect Situated on the Red Line for quick access to Boston, Harvard Square and Cambridge, this AMAZING Hotel is right in the center of it all. The Old Charles Street Jail transformed into a luxury hotel. The exposed brick and cast-iron decor, the jail cells in the bar, and even a jail-cell as a hotel room, you will NOT be dissapointed with your stay at the Liberty. The staff is beyond helpful, catering to any wish you may have. The drinks at Alibi are amazing, and the people watching at one of the top night spots in Boston is perfect...This is a MUST stay in Boston. February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristin501 Liberty is excellent We took my daughter here to walk the freedom trail- we are so happy we stayed in such an incredible hotel. Staff if lovely and friendly. Hotel architecture is incredible- what vision to turn a jail into a hotel that is beautiful. We loved the alibi with mug shots of célèbre ties and drinks named after movies with people who went to jail. Rooms are so clean & excellent views and location- made our weekend even more special. February 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JayB42 Some shortcomings The bathroom was uncomfortable...toilet should be "comfort height " . This one was so low that I pulled a stomach muscle sitting down and getting up . There should be safety bars in bathtubs and showers to prevent falls on slippery surfaces. Ther should be hooks to hang towels, pant etc while showering. Water pressure was too strong in shower and could not be adjusted and the shower head was too high...should be adjustable.the breakfast room was too cold (Clink ) had to change table and still was freezing. Mike's Coffee was too bitter and the only bagel offered was tasteless and bowl of oatmeal was too large for the average appetite. The 2 nd floor lobby was also too cold in the evening because too much cold air sweeps in from the main entrance. The restaurant Scampo was superb and exceeded my expectations.Thanks February 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by eager2eat well located and well appointed tastefully and well appointed and comfortable rooms with multiple assists for the hard of hearing. Well located in the heart of Boston on the campus of MGH and Mass Eye and Ear with views of the Charles River and across the street from an MBTA station. Staff is well trained and welcoming and there is a superb restaurant attached. February 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly31 Great Stay I stayed at Liberty Hotel for one night because of its proximity to TD Garden. The location was perfect as well as only a short walk to the Common and Charles St. Shopping. The room was comfortable, bathroom great, and the staff goes out of their way to meet your needs. I will definitely stay here again when in Boston. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by star2v Trendy hotel is the life of the party We held a bachlorette party this weekend at the Liberty hotel. It was the perfect location - central to downtown Boston and with a fun bar of its own. Staff was very helpful with the registration - plus the glass of cava was a nice touch. The rooms were very nice with a comfortable bed. Bathroom was perfect - large with both a tub and a shower. We ate at the bar upstairs twice and enjoyed our food both times. Added bonus - getting into the bar Alibi without standing in line! All in all a very good experience. February 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ToniB Another lovely stay. I always enjoy my stay, and wouldn't thinlk of staying anywhere else. This time, however, there was a distinctive odor when I walked into the room. The room smelled musty. I think the carpet was the issue. I noticed that the water ran out from the shower and right to the carpet outside the bathroom. It was bothersome enough that I was going to call the desk and ask for another room; however the bed wa so comfortable, I fell right asleep. This is the only reason I didn't give The Liberty all 5 stars! It was disturbing, however. I think it should be addressed. Thank you for the opportunity for feedback. February 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GinaMarie Wonderful in every respect! There is nothing about this hotel that was not perfect. From the acknowledgement of my SPG status to the glass of champagne for me and sparkling lemonade for my daughter. The staff was wonderful, the room was perfect and the food in Clink and Scampo were oustanding!!! February 2, 2014

Gary Stoller - June 09, 2012
Gary Stoller, 65, of Caldwell, Idaho and Palisade, Neb., passed away on Saturday, June 9, 2012, in a plane crash in rural Elmore County, northeast of Mountain Home, Idaho. Gary was piloting the small plane and encountered stormy weather as he traveled from Nebraska to Idaho to meet up with his wife to go on a cruise for their 40th wedding anniversary.
Gary was born Dec. 18, 1946, in Chicago, Ill., to Oscar and Tillie Stoller.
He is survived by his wife Davy Stoller of Caldwell; son Scott Stoller of Chico, Calif.; son and daughter-in-law Brian and Tiffany Stoller and granddaughters Reagan Skow and Mckinley Stoller, all of Palisade, Neb. Gary is also survived by his siblings Leigh Layne, Sandy Stoller and Aaron Stoller and his nieces and nephew, Katy, Hannah and Alex Go; Monica (Brandon) Rappaport; and Rocky Camin.
Gary was a loving husband of nearly 40 years, a proud father, grandfather and uncle. He spent his youth in Chicago, Ill.; Seattle, Wash.; and Los Angeles, Calif., while his father was enlisted in the military. As a young man, Gary worked as an electrician in Southern California. When he married Davy, they purchased and ran the Beverly Ponyland.
In 1975, Gary and Davy moved to Northern California and bought their first ranch. They later purchased the Columbia Stage Line and started a horseback riding business in the Columbia State Park, an Old West gold rush town in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California. They operated these successful entities for 16 years.
In 1986, Gary established Bear Mountain Angus with his wife and two sons. He was passionate about the Angus business, and today, Bear Mountain Angus remains a family-owned business which has been passed on to his son and daughter-in-law Brian and Tiffany.

How very snide.
Although I do of course own a penny-farthing and a very nice unicycle it seems that you are implying Luddite tendencies to myself due to my considering the current crop of E-shifters somewhat less than optimal. A bit funny to me actually as I have over the last 40 years been an "early adopter" and promoter of a few cycling innovations. Here's a list in no particular order that bucked the cycling status quo:
Clipless Pedals
Hardshell Helmets
Dura-Ace Components
Indexed Shifting
American Framesets
High Performance Clincher Wheel Sets
Cassette Gear Sets
Aero TT Bars
Aluminum Race Frames
Cyclo-Cross Racing
Moulded Saddles
Mountain Bike Racing
Cyclo Computers
Aero Brake Levers
Moulded Shoe Cleat Mounts
Synthetic Chamois
All of the above received a hearty "that's not how it's done" in the community but now they seem the obvious norm to those who weren't there and don't know the technical history of the sport. I've never jumped on the band wagon of the latest fad, and there have been lots of them that never went anywhere, just because it was new/cool and massively marketed. Successful innovation involves requirements planning, cost/benefit analysis, extensive field testing and sometimes several generations of design. Good mechanics are both skeptics and open minded, some find current fads amusing, the answer to the question that no one asked or simply overpriced Fred magnets. Some don't.
Must go adjust the spoon brake on the Penny-Farthing, good thing it's not hydraulic actuation.

Nice, but there are seven errors in this pic. One is I have two eyelashes instead of three. Two is the purple spots in my pants are diamonds and the pink spots in my pants are hearts. Three is my shoes are dark gray instead of brown. Four is I have a purple stripe and pink heart below on my left shoe and I have a pink stripe and purple heart below on my right shoe. Five is my shirt has a dark purple stripe in the middle of it. Six is my gloves were look like Sonic's, but they're pink with my fingers sticking out of them. And seven is the inside of my ears weren't the same as the color of my muzzle, the inside of my ears were peach. But other than that, it's awesome.

The Algorithmic Analysis of Hybrid Systems

We present a general framework for the formal specification and algorithmic analysis of hybrid systems. A hybrid system consists of a discrete program with an analog environment. We model hybrid systems as finite automata equipped with variables that evolve continuously with time according to dynamical laws. For verification purposes, we restrict ourselves to linear hybrid systems, where all variables follow piecewise-linear trajectories. We provide decidability and undecidability results for classes of linear hybrid systems, and we show that standard program-analysis techniques can be adapted to linear hybrid systems. In particular, we consider symbolic model-checking and minimization procedures that are based on the reachability analysis of an infinite state space. The procedures iteratively compute state sets that are definable as unions of convex polyhedra in multidimensional real space. We also present approximation techniques for dealing with systems for which the iterative procedures do not converge.

Additional Information on Baron De Ley Crianza Vina Del Cura 2009
Winery: Baron De Ley
Vintage: 2009Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
Varietal: TempranilloThe wines made from the Tempranillo grape varietal have gone down in history as being some of the finest in the world, with the Spanish region of Riot being one of the most famed and respected examples of a quality red wine made with this grape. Elsewhere in the world, the Tempranillo grape has had plenty of success, and grows best in regions with a mixture of hot sunshine and cooling breezes. These grapes hold plenty of intense and interesting flavors, and are often said to hold many of the most sought after flavors to be found in a red wine. Leather, tobacco, plums and herbs are often noted in wines made with Tempranillo grapes, and the blended wines made with this varietal are often seen at the top of world rankings.
Region: La RiojaLa Rioja is by far the most famous wine region of Spain, and remains one of the world's great wine producing regions, consistently offering deep, complex red wines of character and distinction, partly due to the fact that La Rioja benefits from excellent soils, rich in minerals and nutrients, and plenty of sunshine. The climatic conditions allow the fine grape varietals to reach full ripeness and express plenty of the best features of their terroir, making La Rioja wines some of the most interesting to have ever come out of Europe. The Cantabrian mountains to the north provide the perfect shelter from the colder, wetter influences of the Atlantic oceans, and in the beloved vineyards of La Rioja, wineries have been cultivating exceedingly flavorful Tempranillo grapes for generations for the inclusion in their fine single variety and blended wines.
Country: Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

How have past winners of the Northwest 100 fared since topping the charts.
1991: Microsoft
During the 1990s, the little software shop from Redmond became the premier growth company in the country.
1992: Microsoft
Despite its continued dominance of the desktop, Microsoft faces a host of competitors on multiple fronts: Apple, Linux, Yahoo and, especially, Google. In response the company has done a lot of things that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago: it laid off hundreds of workers, borrowed money, started paying a dividend and, just last month, made available a free version of its Office suite.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
1993: Wholesome & Hearty Foods
The Portland maker of Gardenburgers renamed itself after its main product in 1997, and briefly rode a wave of interest in meatless products and healthful living. Ultimately, though, it was too small and had too much debt to compete against deep-pocketed food giants; Kellogg has owned the brand since 2007.
1994: Micron Technology
The first Idaho company to top the Northwest 100, semiconductor maker Micron initially was backed by potato king J.R. Simplot — leading to an inevitable barrage of "potato chips to computer chips" quips.
1995: Micron Technology
As one of the world's major suppliers of memory chips, Micron's fortunes wax and wane with the global economy. The recession has been hard on Micron — it posted net losses each of the past three fiscal years — but the company turned a profit the first half of this year with sales up 55 percent.
1996: Olympic Cascade Financial
Despite one of the all-time great Northwest names, the parent of Seattle brokerage National Securities has had a rough several years. Now known as National Holdings and headquartered in New York, the company's stock was delisted in 2004 and it's lost money for the past two years.
1997: RadiSys
The Hillsboro, Ore., maker of media servers and communications-networking equipment has shifted away from custom-designed products toward "standards-based" ones. But the going has been rough: RadiSys hasn't posted an annual net profit since 2005.
1998: Labor Ready
The Tacoma temporary-help company has undergone considerable change since topping the list. For one thing, it's now called TrueBlue, a name chosen to reflect its blue-collar orientation. Demand for temporary workers rises and falls with the overall economy, and TrueBlue's results reflect that: Revenue was off 26.4 percent and the company closed a net 96 branch offices, though it did post an $8.8 million profit.
1999: Lithia Motors
Outside of banking and real estate, few industries were hit harder by the financial crisis than the auto business. Lithia, headquartered in Medford, Ore., has dramatically shrunk its network of dealerships — sometimes on its own, sometimes involuntarily as a consequence of GM's and Chrysler's bankruptcies. Lithia now has 85 stores in 12 states in the West and Midwest, down from a peak of 109 stores in 15 states.
2000: Advanced Digital Information Corp.
The Redmond data-storage company, known as ADIC, reaped a sweet reward for surviving the tech wreck: In 2006, it was bought by San Jose, Calif.-based Quantum for $770 million.
2001: Metro One Telecommunications
Then there was this Beaverton, Ore., directory-assistance company, which never really recovered from the popping of the telecom bubble and the decision of many mobile-phone providers to automate their 411 services. After years of losses, Metro One sold off most of its assets in 2008 and shut down operations.
2002: Flir Systems
Flir, headquartered south of Portland, has succeeded by mastering one core technology — infrared imaging — and finding more and more applications for it, from night-vision cameras used by the military to home-inspection devices used by suburbanites.
2003: Flir Systems
The third repeat winner.
2004: Barrett Business Services
Several years ago, this temporary-help company in Vancouver, Wash., expanded into "professional employer organization" services — essentially, enabling companies to save money on workers'-compensation costs by piggybacking on Barrett's lower rates. The PEO business started as a sideline; last year it accounted for more than half of Barrett's total revenue.
2005: PW Eagle
The Eugene, Ore., maker of plastic pipe built itself into a nationwide player through a series of acquisitions, but activist hedge funds — impatient that the market didn't seem sufficiently impressed by the company's success — pressed management to put PW Eagle up for sale.
2006: PW Eagle
The fourth repeat winner, PW Eagle was bought out by rival J-M Manufacturing for about $400 million. The new owners shut down the pipe factory outside Eugene in 2007, but a group of key former employees bought the plant, renovated it, rehired many of the laid-off workers and resumed production in August 2008. Meanwhile, the merged company (now called JM Eagle) faces accusations that it knowingly sold defective pipe to municipal water systems.
2007: Hecla Mining
Results at the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, company vary considerably from year to year, and depend largely on market prices for silver, gold, lead and zinc. Higher gold prices, as well as the acquisition of full ownership of the Greens Creek mine in Alaska, led to sharply higher sales and a return to profitability last year.
2008: Flir Systems
The first three-peat in Northwest history.
