text: Eugene Changing Attitudes About Climate Change By Desmond O'Boyle • May 5, 2014 Recorded on : May 2, 2014 Air Date: May 5, 2014 City Club's May 2nd speaker will not discuss whether climate change is occurring or conjecture about whether human behavior contributes to that change. Affirmative answers to both of those questions are taken as given. Gay Rights Supporters Gather Ahead Of Landmark Court Hearing By Jes Burns • Apr 23, 2014 Karen Richards Late Tuesday afternoon, gay rights supporters in seven cities around Oregon gathered for a vigil ahead of a landmark court case.

Judge Denies Motion To Delay Same-Sex Marriage Hearing By Jes Burns • Apr 22, 2014 Karen Richards Wednesday's federal hearing on Oregon's same-sex marriage ban will go ahead as scheduled, after a Eugene judge today denied a motion to postpone by opponents.

The state said the ban would not stand up to a federal equal rights challenge. Officials Break Ground On New Veterans Health Facility In Eugene By Jes Burns • Apr 21, 2014 Jes Burns It's been years in coming. Officials broke ground on a new Veterans health facility in Eugene Monday afternoon. The site of the future Veterans Health Care Center in North Eugene sits within eye shot of I-5.

Oregon Representative Peter DeFazio spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony. 911 Caller Reports Two Cougars Near Eugene's Maury Jacobs Park By Karen Richards • Apr 18, 2014 Early this morning, a 9-1-1 caller reported seeing a mountain lion and a cub near Maury Jacobs Park in Eugene.

Underfunded Criminal Justice System Cited In Release Of Accused Murderer By Jes Burns & Rachael McDonald • Mar 21, 2014 Rachael McDonald Lane County's District Attorney says lack of law enforcement capacity contributed the release of a man accused of killing two people over the last few weeks. Eugene Police arrested Ricardo Cheney on drug and firearms charges on March 6th.

Fair Trade Retailer Greater Goods Closing After 23 Years In Eugene By Angela Kellner • Mar 20, 2014 Angela Kellner One of downtown Eugene's unique retailers is going out of business after 23 years of selling mostly fair trade products.

Wilmette Public Schools District 39Mikaelian Education Center615 Locust RoadWilmette, IL 60091847-256-2450www.wilmette39.org
I want to inform you about steps we are taking to improve the efficiency of our student transportation. Those of you who had bus riders last year may be aware that buses were late at times. North Shore Transit recommends 12-15 as the maximum number of stops to ensure efficiency; we had several routes exceeding that, with some over 20.
For 2014-15, we will be reducing the number of stops on most of our routes to minimize the number of late buses. This means that your child may need to walk a little farther than was the case last year. In developing these new routes, our goal is to have each child no more than three blocks from their stop. When possible, the age of the riders will be considered in locating the stop.
If you have not already done so, you should register your child for bus transportation as soon as possible. This can be done online. While the deadline is August 1, 2014, your completed registration by July 15, 2014 will help as we work with North Shore Transit on establishing new routes.
You will receive additional information in August. If you have any questions before then, please let me know.
Your partner in education,
Dr. Ray LechnerSuperintendentWilmette Public Schools District 39
I am excited to share with you that the D39 Board of Education approved the expansion of 1:1 learning in District 39. While this news is for everyone, it's of special interest to parents of current 5th and 6th graders since your students will be participating next year.
As you may know, many of our communications over the last year – Board Meeting Highlights, Superintendent's Scoop, 39 exPRESS – described how we began with a pilot involving one "house" of Highcrest 6th graders. Our local newspapers have provided regular coverage as well. Each student had an iPad to use at school and home. We established specific goals and reported on progress along the way, including important feedback from students, parents, and teachers. Our aim was to determine whether a 1:1 iPad program would enable significant enhancements to our curriculum.
Based on the success of the pilot, the Board has decided that for the 2014-15 school year, 1:1 learning will expand to all 6th and 7th graders. As these students progress to 8th grade in 2015-16, all 6th-8th graders will be included. You can find information about 1:1 learning in D39 on our website; this page will be continually updated, including the addition of an FAQ.
The administration carefully analyzed the options for financing this expansion with the goal of respecting both the taxpayers who fund our schools and the parents who already pay a number of school-related fees. In addition, we focused on building in maximum flexibility for families, and we are passing "savings" in other areas on to parents whose children are participating (including fee reductions and lower supply costs) to make this program "cost neutral" by graduation. The final fee options are a bit complicated and you can read the details online, but there are three important things for parents to understand.
When it is time for your child to register for the 1:1 learning program, you will be asked to make a choice: rent-to-own, rent only, or provide your own. And, in the rent-to-own option, we build in the ability to change your mind at the end and sell back an iPad you planned to keep.
We have developed unique plans for next year's seventh graders, who will only have two years with their iPads, and for the current 6th graders that were in the pilot program.
Below are highlights of the fee options for families participating in 1:1 learning.
Fee Option 1: "Rent to Own"
Fee Option 2: "Rent Only"
Fee Option 3: "Bring Your Own iPad"
I am very excited for the upcoming expansion of 1:1 learning in D39. I know you may have questions, especially those of you whose children will be entering the program next year. Please check our 1:1 learning page for information and updates. If you are a 5th or 6th grade parent, you can expect regular communication from Dr. Palzet coming your way following Spring Break, including meetings that will provide details of the program including expenses.
MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release Sept 17,2013 Contact: Holly Goldin
(Wilmette, IL...) The negotiating teams from the District 39 Board of Education and the Wilmette Education Association (WEA) have reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year teachers' contract.
The details of the agreement will be made available after it has been ratified by the WEA membership and approved by the Board of Education. It is anticipated that the WEA will submit the tentative agreement to its members by September 18, 2013, and that the agreement will be considered for final approval by the Board of Education at its regular meeting on September 23, 2013.
District 39 is an elementary school district that serves students in Wilmette and in parts of Glenview and Winnetka.
MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release June 11, 2012 Contact: Holly Goldin
(Wilmette, IL...) District 39 has received notice that Taxpayers United of America (TUA) has filed a petition for leave to appeal with the Illinois Supreme Court challenging the order dismissing TUA's appeal to the First District Appellate Court for wont of prosecution. A copy of the petition for leave to appeal can be found here. The Illinois Supreme Court allowed the petition as noted here.
District 39 has 14 days to respond to this filing. The Supreme Court will then decide whether to accept the appeal.
Commenting on this latest development, Karen Donnan, President of the District 39 Board of Education said, "We are certainly disappointed that TUA was again unwilling to abide by the decision of the Appellate Court. This petition to the Illinois Supreme Court will cause the District to spend additional dollars in legal fees that should be used for the education of children in our community. This case has been a drain on District resources for more than a year. To date, District 39 has spent almost $48,000 in defense of this lawsuit. The Circuit and Appellate Courts have decided in favor of District 39 at every step. I sincerely hope this concludes quickly so District 39 can focus its resources and attention where it belongs, on our students."
The original lawsuit, filed by TUA and Wilmette resident Herbert Sorock in May of 2011, challenged the ballot language used by District 39 in its successful April 5, 2011 referendum. It was dismissed with prejudice on June 23, 2011 with Circuit Court Judge Rita Novak rejecting all of the plaintiff's allegations. Judge Novak had earlier dismissed the individual members of District 39's Board of Education from the case on May 23, 2011. On July 6, 2011, TUA and Herbert Sorock filed an appeal of Judge Novak's decisions and later filed two motions. One motion sought to place the appeal on an accelerated docket and was denied by the Appellate Court. The other motion, which the Court granted, was unopposed by District 39. It sought to consolidate the appeal of the case against District 39 with a similar appeal in the case against Oak Park School District 97. The appeal also challenged the dismissal of the individual board members.
Herbert Sorock is not participating in the current petition before the Illinois Supreme Court. A complete history of the legal filings and court decisions can be found here.

MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate ReleaseApril 16, 2012Contact: Holly Goldin
(Wilmette, IL...) The appeal of the lawsuit brought against District 39 by Herbert Sorock and Taxpayer's United of America (TUA) has been dismissed by the First District Appellate Court for want of prosecution. The Court's order can be found here. This ends the litigation initiated by Sorock and TUA in May of 2011 challenging the ballot language used by the District in its successful April 5, 2011 referendum.
The original lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice on June 23, 2011, with Circuit Court Judge Rita Novak rejecting all of the plaintiffs' allegations. Judge Novak had dismissed the individual members of District 39's Board of Education from the case earlier on May 23, 2011. On July 6, 2011, Sorock and TUA filed an appeal of Judge Novak's decisions and later filed two motions. One motion sought to place the appeal on an accelerated docket and was denied by the Appellate Court. The other motion, which the Court granted, was unopposed by District 39. It sought to consolidate the appeal of the case against District 39 with a similar appeal in the case against Oak Park School District 97. The appeal also challenged the dismissal of the individual board members.
Despite the initial filing of the appeal with a request that it be decided by the Court on an expedited basis, Sorock and TUA sought extensions of time to file their initial brief and ultimately did not diligently pursue the appeal. The Appellate Court finally dismissed the appeal against District 39 for Sorock's and TUA's failure to file their brief and move the appeal forward. The Court's order also dismissed the case against District 97.
Karen Donnan, President of the District 39 Board of Education, commented, "We are pleased that this lawsuit is finally behind us. District 39 prevailed on all of the issues at the Circuit Court and we were confident that the judgments of the lower court would stand. The decision by Herbert Sorock and TUA to appeal meant the District had to spend additional dollars on legal fees. We did not object to the motion consolidating our case with the appeal in the similar case in Oak Park District 97, believing that combining our two cases would serve to move the appeals forward in an efficient and expedited manner. At the end of the day, however, the District has spent more than $45,000 in defense of this lawsuit. Fortunately, we can now put all our financial resources where they belong, toward the education of the children in our community."

MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release January 5, 2012 Contact: Holly Goldin
Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, any child entering sixth grade must provide proof of receiving one dose of Tdap, defined as Tetanus, Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis vaccine. In addition, next school year students entering grades 7-12 who have not already received the Tdap must also have one Tdap dose and provide proof to the schools of having this vaccine. The Tdap is not to be confused with the DTaP, DT, or Td vaccines. This change is part of the 77 Illinois Administrative Code 665.240(a). These new rules have been adopted and became effective September 27, 2011. Illinois Department of Public Health provided flexibility in implementing the new regulation since the law became effective after the start of the 2011-‐2012 school year; school districts were allowed to postpone the enforcement of this change until the 2012-‐13 school year.

I reinstalled Vista, everything was working fine, apart from the fact that there was a virus on my computer which i had to get rid of.
Now, the problem is that whenever i try to open up a file, a blue screen comes up and my computer crashes. I looked for a solution from windows and it appeared that because my NVIDIA hasn't been 'installed correctly' or has 'expired' is causing my computer to crash. I remember i had this problem a couple of months ago and windows update fixed it.
For the last couple of days i've been trying to update my windows, however, it keeps failing with a particular error code. This code recommends me to go onto Services and check my Background Intelligence Transfer service and Windows Event log. Windows Event log is fine, however my BITS service won't start saying: (Something along the lines of) Background intelligence service has started but stopped at local computer. Some services stop automatically when not in use by programs or other services.
Help please

Quite a silly question, I know. Of course normally LANG=C indicates an ASCII terminal which cannot display Unicode characters. But I nevertheless want to print out the UTF-8 bytes. I use Python 2 (2.6.5 actually)
print '\xc3\xa4', u'\xe4'
This prints 'ä ä' on a Unicode terminal, but the second string causes an error when executed with LANG=C. I don't want Python to be smart but simply convert u'\xe4' to UTF-8 so it's just '\xc3\xa4' in memory.
I tried all combinations of decode(), encode() and unicode() that I can imagine but it seems I missed the right combination.
What I actually want is reading Unicode charaters through vi's
system() function, like
:echo system('python foo.py')

Q&A with Blake Griffin: Clippers standout discusses NBA lockout, Lon Kruger
Blake Griffin is back on home hardwood this week. The Oklahoma City native is conducting a youth basketball camp in the city, but he took time for a media session Wednesday afternoon to talk about everything from his alma mater, Oklahoma, to his current team, the Clippers.
Rookie of the Year. Slam Dunk Champion. What has this past year been like for you?
It's been a whirlwind. It's been crazy. But it's been a lot of fun. Having to sit out that whole year (because of a knee injury) made me hungrier. All last summer I was working for that. To finally be out there and able to play all year was a blast.
Was there a personal highlight?
There's a ton. Playing all 82 games, I think, is my biggest accomplishment. It was a goal that I had kind of set personally, and just to be able to be able to be out there and enjoy the whole time was just a blast.
What are your feelings about the lockout?
We want to play. Obviously, we don't want to miss any games. Hopefully, they get a deal done. I know Monday's meeting with the NBA and the NBPA didn't go very well, so hopefully things start moving a little faster like the NFL did.
Have you considered going overseas to play?
I'm not opposed to it, but at the same time, right now, my focus is working out and trying to get better. If it comes to that point, I might take a look at it. But that doesn't mean anything's going to happen.
The Sooners have a new coach. What do you think of Lon Kruger?
I think he's going to be great for the program. He's already done a good job of getting out there. I know he has an alumni weekend coming up at the end of August, and I'll be back for that. I'm completely behind him a hundred percent and trying to help out in whatever way possible.
Are you excited about the future of the Clippers?
Definitely. I like the direction that we're headed, and I like our guys. I think we have a great core of guys, old and young, experienced and a little bit inexperienced. We were very, very, very young last year and had some bad injuries. Hopefully, we can keep the ball rolling and get that playoff spot.

Was great fun - four of us - myself, Sesamecrunch (Alan), EvilV, (Tony) and Mulleady (Francis) braved ominous looking clouds for a pootle round the park, photostop by the Royal Albert Hall, on to (almost) Buckingham Palace [foiled by Olympic crowds] then back to Knightsbridge for a bite to eat and irreverent chat on the merits of bikes, transatlantic bike delivery and the Zen of Bikeforum usernames. Snafu, NigelMe and other regulars were sadly missed (Where are you!? Well I hope!) and everyone was incredibly complimentary about my wee red brommie. Was really great to meet everyone - great to put faces and voices to the disembodied text we know so well from these pages.
I think there will be some pictures forthcoming from Mulleady and more comments when Sesame beats his jetlague
Top day - hope they continue.

What Your Facebook Likes May Say About YouMolly Thornberg
Facebook, yes it's a great suckage of time, way to connect with friends new and old and share with the world the important and unimportant. But there is something else it can do… it can tell someone a lot about you. Sure there are the obvious things such as if you like Mitt Romney, chances are you are a Republican – but according to a study by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences liking random things such as "curly fries", "thunderstorms" or even "Lady Antebellum" also are indicators of who you are.
So what do your likes say about you on Facebook? Let's see what the study has to say (remember, the study – don't shoot the messenger)….
Facebook Likes Study 1 of 7A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says Facebook likes "can be used to automatically and accurately predict a range of highly sensitive personal attributes including: sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious and political views, personality traits, intelligence, happiness, use of addictive substances, parental separation, age, and gender."
You are of high intelligence if you like… 2 of 7Thunderstorms, The Colbert Report, Science, Curly Fries
You are of low intelligence if you like… 3 of 7Sephora, I Love Being A Mom, Harley Davidson, Lady Antebellum
Good predictors of male homosexuality include likes of… 4 of 7No H8 Campaign, Mac Cosmetics, and Wicked The Musical
Good predictors of male heterosexuality include likes of… 5 of 7Wu-Tang Clan, Shaq, Being Confused After Waking Up From Naps
Liking the Hello Kitty brand…. 6 of 7Tended to be high on Openness and low on Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability. They were also more likely to have Democratic political views and to be of Af-rican-American origin, predominantly Christian, and slightly below average age.
image source: <a href="http://hello-hellokitty.tumblr.com/" target="_blank":tumblr.com
Liking Barack Obama 7 of 7Being a Democrat, it is also relatively popular among Christians, African Americans, and Homosexual individuals

The Mövenpick Hotel Deira, the latest five-star addition to the original 'old town' of Dubai, has launched its summer Friday promotional brunch, focusing on both in-house guests as well as local residents, with a proposition that is sure to get the kids jumping.
Two of the hotel's restaurants 'Wok In' a bazaar of Asian temptations and 'Jigsaw' the international buffet, have teamed-up to deliver a flexible Friday feast, fit for any fun-loving family with little ones to entertain.
Joydeep Ghosh, the hotel's director of sales and marketing commented; "Wok In offers a whole range of Asian dishes as well as freshly prepared Sushi and Jigsaw caters for all tastes with an extensive international buffet."
"Little ones need to be entertained and mums especially need a break, so we've created a 'Kids Korner' full of activities that will keep everybody happy," added Ghosh.
Children's activities include educational games, ball games to run off excess energy, a drawing area for aspiring artists and much more, all under the supervision of the hotel's fully trained staff.
Now comes the best bit!
Pricing for the Friday brunch starts at just AED119 per adult, with kids up to 12 years of age at AED50 and those under seven years old eat and drink for free.
"Our prices represent exceptional value-for-money. Even if some parents wish to unwind with a more, 'relaxing drink' shall we say, the package price is still only AED149 and that's unlimited pouring house beverages," said Ghosh.
Naturally the 'value' theme is already apparent in the hotel's room rates for this summer. Creating an urban resort that is attracting weekenders from Abu Dhabi as well as visitors from across the GCC, the Movenpick Deira has a very simple but effective pricing formula.
"We've taken what was our lowest room rate and applied a 25% discount across the board, so now room rates start at AED295 subject to tax and service charges, valid until 31 August," stated Ghosh.
However for those intent on a gentle stroll after lunch, accompanied by family members intent on deals in heels, Deira City Centre and even Dubai Mall are both within easy reach via taxi and the hotel operates complimentary bus shuttles to Al Ghurair Centre, Mirdiff City Centre and Dubai Outlet Mall.

One section of an east-west corridor through the county is being altered so that it won't run past Clark Elementary School.
The proposed road will create a connection between Worthsville and Clark School roads, which is already a popular route between Interstate 65 and Interstate 74 near Shelbyville. Currently drivers have to make multiple turns and go through an S-curve to get from one to the other.
Traffic is expected to increase when an I-65 exit is opened at Worthsville Road in late 2015, and the new $3.6 million connector road was supposed to be built next year, too. But the county is changing where the road connects on the east end, which will make a straighter route and create a new intersection that could be the starting point for a final leg leading to Shelby County.
County officials have raised concerns that more traffic will travel past the school on the two-lane county road, which could be dangerous for buses or parents going in and out of the school. The change won't solve traffic issues in front of the school, but the new intersection at Franklin Road would be a starting point for a future new road that would go north of the school, away from its main entrance, county highway director Luke Mastin said.
That kind of project would cost millions of dollars, so the county won't be able to afford it without receiving another large federal grant and would be several years off at the minimum, Mastin said.
In the short term, the new path connecting at Franklin Road would have less of a curve and prevent the county from having to pay to move additional utilities that are located near the previous connection point, Mastin said.
Previously the county had plotted a route connecting the corners where Worthsville Road curves into Griffith Road, southeast to where County Road 700N bends west of Franklin Road. But the county asked the state to hold grant funding that had been awarded for an additional year, to change the path to a straighter line and build a new intersection with Franklin Road. Instead of connecting at or near a curve in Clark School Road, the connection at Franklin Road would be a traditional right-angle intersection.
The new road is planned to be part of the county's east-west corridor, where traffic can quickly cross the county or get between I-74, I-65 and State Road 37, which will eventually become part of the southern section of Interstate 69. The new route will allow the county to eventually shift that traffic away from the school and homes in the future.
The new route of the connector road shows the county is listening to the district's concerns about traffic in the area.
While the change will mean a delay in construction, keeping traffic away from the elementary school is a good decision and will be worth the wait.

Lake City man shot, killed by police after pointing gun at officers
Published: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 9:40 a.m.
An officer with the Lake City Police Department fatally shot a man after he pointed a gun at police during a disturbance early Tuesday morning, police reported.
Jeramey Sweeny, 30, was killed after officers responded to a 911 call at 2720 SW Windsong Circle, Building 5, apartment 203, at 2:27 a.m., police reported in a news release.
As Officers Brian Bruenger, Garrett Register and Sgt. Larry Shallar approached the door, the release said, Sweeny came outside with a handgun and pointed it at the officers.
Bruenger alerted the other officers to the handgun, drew his weapon and fired. He struck Sweeny, who later was pronounced dead at the scene.
Both the State Attorney's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement responded to the scene, the release said, and are investigating the incident. The officers involved in the shooting incident were placed on administrative leave.
Register has been with the Lake City Police Department one and a half years; Bruenger is a five-year veteran with the department; and Shallar is a veteran of 11 and a half years.
Anyone with information about this incident may call the LCPD anonymously at 386-719-2068.

text: So as a reward to myself for existing, I purchased and installed on the bike a new Brooks B17n saddle. This after reading the multitude of glowing repts in many different forums and threads. I must rept that contrary to my expectations it does not fit like a glove. To this point the only dimples that I see are the ones I see in the mirror and I am not referring to dimples on my chin! Admittedly, I have less than 100 miles on the saddle and I'm still doing some tweaking. I have also ordered a Thomson elite seatpost both to help with the tweaking process and as another reward for existing. So I shall persevere with the hope that time and warmer weather, think spring, will cure all. Happy Thanksgiving to all-eat pie or die!

Great for Stone JewelryJune 12, 2012
These triangle jumprings are the best jumprings for fossil or stone pendants or earrings. They can be easily trimmed to the thickness of the stone and then sqeezed together for a proper fit. I have never been a big fan of fancy bails for fossil or stones, especially stones with pictures or designs in them, because they detract from the beauty of the stone. These are a strong enough guage to hold the weight, are not distracting, and because of the straight bottom they easily slip into a drilled hole.
