Putnam City school district postpones plan for late starts
Seven districtwide late-start Wednesdays will not take place during the upcoming school year as previously planned, Putnam City Superintendent Fred Rhodes said.
The district had planned for classes to begin 90 minutes later on those seven Wednesdays, to allow time for teachers to go through additional training and planning.
"At this time, we will delay the implementation of districtwide late-start Wednesdays and strive to find additional ways to provide professional development time for teachers," Rhodes said during Monday's school board meeting.
Putnam City officials proposed the idea to school board members in April. In May, information was shared with parents.
The program was conceived as a response to significant state-mandated shifts in education. Teachers would have reported at their regular times on those Wednesdays and spend the first 90 minutes of the day in intensive professional training.
Rhodes said the concept has its merits.
"We commend those who have been working to implement this plan. We applaud them for being creative in their attempt to find additional time that is so desperately needed for teacher professional development," Rhodes said.
Rhodes said he wants the district to explore other ways teachers can get time for training that do not interrupt the schedules that students and families are used to.
The program would have provided time for teachers to deepen their understanding of new common core state standards and a required new teacher evaluation system.
Rhodes stressed that postponing implementation of the districtwide late-start Wednesdays will have no bearing on high school late-start Wednesdays already in place. For several years district high schools have started 30 minutes late on Wednesdays to allow extra time for teachers to collaborate about student instruction. High school late-start Wednesdays will continue.


text: I dont have good knowledge about mobile phones, and am aware of the basic functions of the device like text messaging and handling the call registry apart from that I cannot deal with other issues. So stories apart I have a file manager called as Astro. My friend helped me download the Astro file manager application few days back. Now the problem is somewhat unique as in my case, I am not able to create a shortcut of a particular folder. So how can I solve this problem, or can anyone suggest me a better file manager than the Astro. Even if anybody can throw some light on this application would be appreciated.

Our organization has gone to six super bowls, winning five, over almost a forty-year period. I wonder, though, what with all the fuss and panic about windows closing and investigations looming, fireplace yarns about the end of the Jim Harbaugh era, and 49ers fans wanting to change metro seats for something more 49er appropriate, if one title will do it. I used to think so. Often, in my own mental wanderings I postulate to myself that "one ring would rule them all." Maybe it is the fact that I am getting older and that this coming season will mark the twentieth anniversary of our last championship team. It could also be that we have all ridden this ride before.
Since their arrival, Jed York, Harbaugh, Balke have led a renaissance movement. We are winning again. Far more than we are losing that much is sure. When we lose, we do it in the most painful manners possible. In an era, where the media and athletes have spoken of Mount Rushmore's of this or that, we have our own national monument dedicated to pain: Kyle Williams (who should be on here twice for symmetry reasons alone), SB XLVII Loss, Kaep Int, and, of course, 2014 49er Offseason. Yes, I consider the 2014 Offseason to be a loss, not debilitating one, that is yet to be determined, but a loss nonetheless.
By loss, I mean that if you asked a 49er fan, they would tell you that our Mt. Rushmore of pain should not be about pain, but about the ecstasy of victory. It should be four more titles. A feat that would return us to the forefront of the NFL's Mount Rushmore: Steelers, Cowboys, Niners, Packers. The sane would tell you that the loss against the Giants was expected in the sense we had just emerged upon the scene. It was not our time. The loss against the Ravens, striking new territory for the 49ers, while painful should have been expected considering how we played in the first half. The loss to the Seahawks on the road is the reality of a quarterback with little experience playing in a hostile environment--he gave it all, but cost us as well. Half give him a pass because Colin gave everything he had, the rest will scrutinize and nitpick to make themselves feel better his performance.
I am an optimist, or at least, I try to be. Only a fool would look at our offseason and not be bothered by it. When it comes to the Niners, I believe they can win it all. I like the twenty year storyline. It is nice, neat, and tidy. But I wonder, if we win, and if we do what a story it will be, if it will be enough? Athletics, professional or amateur, are supposed to be about team building, enjoyment, and honest (in theory) competition. Being a 49er fan, over the past fifteen months, has been an emotional ride. One that we all signed up for, whether we wanted it or not, because we care.
I am not saying to stop caring; though, I bet we have all had that moment, arrest, stupid decision, horrid loss, that has shaken our faith to the point of ostracizing ourselves from the team. That honestly says a great deal more about ourselves than it does about the organization's woes. The sad truth, we are, in some ways, masochistic. Some of us break down plays, over and over, to seek the truth behind the defeat. As if we must know it. We cannot exist without it. It is so damn important we spend time, long periods to be certain, over it. We will justify criminal action and do out of poorly constructed rationale of personal rights of the accused. Even when it is clear that some wrong has been committed. For we, the court of public opinion, are the judge, jury, and executioner here. Not the NFL, not society, not anybody else. Others convince themselves this is some sort of ruse or insidious game that the world is playing against the 49ers. Whatever the cause, it robbed us of the glory of another championship, and instead caused us pain.
The truth, as far as I can see it, no one championship, no ten championships will make up for the pain of this era. We have gotten so damn close that it is beyond frustrating. We may never in our lifetimes get back to where we are right now. There is, however, the hope of tomorrow and of that elusive sixth championship. "the Quest for Six" is a catchy ad-driven idea. How about, though, we strive for the next. Or better yet, in our era, "the one ring that will rule them all". That is, at least, until we go after the next one.

text: THE settlements north of Massachusetts, which last engaged our attention, were more or less connected with the Antinomian dispersion. The principal of those which had been made further towards the cast belonged as yet to Churchmen. David Thompson, who, under the auspices of John Mason, attempted a plantation at the mouth of the Piscataqua, soon became discouraged, and removed to an island in Boston harbor.1 A new patent having been solicited from the Council for New England2 by Gorges, Mason, and others, the enterprise was resumed, and a party of some fifty men was sent out to be employed in fishing, trade, salt-making, and farming, under the superintendence of Captain Walter Neal.3 He returned to England after about three years, and, the other partners having withdrawn themselves, the settlement fell into the hands of Mason, who reinforced it with a new supply of men and means, and gave it in charge to Francis Williams. Not. withstanding the judicious management of this agent, the undertaking still continued to be unprosperous. Mason made too free an outlay for stores, tools, arms, ammunition, and live stock, of the last of which he imported costly specimens from Denmark. His death put a sudden end to the measures on foot for retrieving his affairs in the plantation.____________________

Mark Wahlberg is piling on the projects like there's no tomorrow. In addition to the just-completed 'Contraband' and in-production films 'Ted,' 'Good Time Gang' and 'Broken City,' his name has been attached to 'The Brazilian Job,' 'Sharkey's machine,' 'Five Brothers,' 'Cocaine Cowboys' and the 'Entourage' movie, and now comes word via Deadline that he's in negotiations to star in '2 Guns' for Universal Pictures.
The film is based on a graphic novel about a DEA agent and an undercover naval intelligence officer who unwittingly investigate each other, with mob money and the CIA involved. Kind of a permutation on 'The Departed,' which also starred Wahlberg.
David O Russell — who has worked so well with Wahlberg on 'Three Kings,' 'I Heart Huckabees' and 'The Fighter' — originally was scheduled to write a draft of the film and direct, with Vince Vaughn as one of he leads, but that fell through due to scheduling conflicts.
'2 Guns,' from comic writer Steven Grant, is billed as a light-hearted crime romp, which is perfect for Wahlberg, who excels as tough guys with a heart of gold (and a streak of comedy).
By the way , here's the publisher's description of the graphic novel:
A pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. Trench has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Steadman in on the job. Trench figures it's a great way to score — considering it's a cover for mob money. They'll be thieves ripping off thieves. But what Steadman doesn't know is that Trench is a DEA agent. And what Trench doesn't know is that Steadman's a Naval Intelligence officer. They're both cops! And neither one knows that they're not robbing the mob, they've been set up to steal $ 50 million from the CIA!

School bond reform gaining support
Ahead of any legislative changes, McAllister urged districts to be clear with voters about such bond maneuvers and spell out the repayment terms. He also recommended districts not enter deals with repayment terms exceeding four times the principal.
McAllister indicated his office would be ramping up its oversight role related to CABs, urging districts to consult with his office before finalizing such bonds. He said CABs requiring repayment more than seven times the principal will be deemed "unacceptable," while repayment between five and seven times will be "cautionary," and four times or less will be "acceptable."
He said clear summaries of all future school district bond issuances will soon be posted on the San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector website to help the public track and monitor tax commitments made by district officials.
McAllister's proposals were also embraced by Los Angeles County Treasurer Mark Saladino. In May 2011, Saladino issued a public notice that his office would not support CABs that exceed a 25-year repayment schedule, saying that they "result in a significantly higher debt burden."
Michigan banned CABs in 1994.
McAllister said he and Saladino will also work with the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors to push for reforms; the group said last August it opposed long-term CABs.

This medication is used to treat certain types of serious (possibly fatal) irregular heartbeat (such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation). It is used to restore normal heart rhythm and maintain a regular, steady heartbeat. Propafenone is known as an anti-arrhythmic drug. It works by blocking the activity of certain electrical signals in the heart that can cause an irregular heartbeat. Treating an irregular heartbeat can decrease the risk for blood clots, and this effect can reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.
How To Use
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually every 8 hours or as directed by your doctor.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.
Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this medication unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with this medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

In another pick up in a busy past seven days of acquisition announcements, Roadside Attractions has made a pact for U.S. rights to "Mystery Team," the first feature length film from DERRICK Comedy, the distributor's co-president Eric d'Arbeloff announced Monday. Josh Braun of Submarine negotiated the deal for DERRICK Comedy with d'Arbeloff. Roadside plans to take the film on an advance-release tour of colleges in the late summer, to be followed by a national release this fall.
Premiering at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, "Mystery" revolves around a band of kid detectives dedicated to solving child-sized mysteries: who put their finger in the pie, or who stole a tricycle. The town loved them for it. Fast forward, the team is about to graduate from high school and move in to the real world, but they're still storming the playground to bust little kids, which eventually doesn't sit well with the town's people. One day a neighborhood girl asks the team to find out who killed her parents, and are taken for the first time into Oakdale's dark underbelly. A violent cartel of drug lords and strippers will threaten their lives, strain their friendships.
"This film is a jaw-dropping mash-up of absurd comedy and a dark crime mystery," said d'Arbeloff in a statement. "It's no wonder DERRICK'S shorts have been viewed over 100 million times online. Their enormous fan base will be a key part of this release. We're thrilled to be working with the team."

I got my 1st full week in riding my bike. 6 days actually, it rained & was blowing one day last week.
I'm down to 291.0# from 321.8# @ the 1st of the year. We took up XC skiing @ the beginning of February, then I got a FSMTB about 12 days ago.
I sure seem to be able to burn up the calories faster on the MTB than the XC skis.
I rode just a bit over 31 miles yesterday. A week ago, 10 miles was about all I could do. Now I can do that W/O a break, take a 15 minute break after 10-12 miles & pedal another 10-12 miles before I take another break.

Charlie Fitzpatrick
Academy Hallways
Charlie could hear the powerful Pokémon's cries and started to follow them, hoping that he would be led to whatever the seven hells was going on at the Academy. However, he was stopped in his tracks by a Lucario, and a very familiar one. They had both met each other before, back at his office.
"Charles-- I-it's Aaron. Please, follow me. Quickly!
" the Lucario said.
Knowing from the Lucario's tone that it was something serious, he ran after the Lucario, hoping that that Aaron kid was okay. Eventually, Charlie could recognise the sharp dresser in distress at a distance, and he looked like he had suffered a very hard attack.
"Hey!" Charlie said whiel rushing over to the kid, "Damn. What happened here?"
Jimmy Vincent & Alice Crenshaw
Academy Hallways
Pokémon cries could still be heard, and it was no trouble for Biff the maroon Houndour to track down where it came from. With its acute hearing it sprinted across the hallways, followed by Kaida, Smokey, and their human partners. Jimmy grabbed Rosalyn's hand when Biff started to run faster, in order for them to keep up, while Alice just ran, trying very hard to keep up.
"Wow...this..." she said between gasps, "...reminds me of my first class!"
Jimmy made no comment, and continued to follow Biff until he came to a stop. Before everyone's eyes were a girl battling a suspicious-looking boy with singed clothing. Their Pokémon were a Haxorus and a Swampert, respèctively. It seemed an epic battle was going on, and Jimmy smirked. Kaida wanted to go near the Haxorus, but smokey blocked her path.
"Stay here. For the best." the Weezing said.

PB&J is still OK at a Portland elementary school.
PORTLAND — The school board voted Monday to continue serving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at one campus of Beverly Cleary school, despite the concerns of a parent of a child allergic to peanuts.
The Oregonian reported the vote was 5-2.
Superintendent Carole Smith said experts say designating a school peanut-free could lull students into a false sense of security, and the better course is to help teach children to handle their allergies.
The school has kindergartners and first-graders who eat in the classroom because of overcrowding. School officials say allergic students sit apart from students eating peanut butter, and students are asked to wash their hands before and after to keep residue out of classrooms.

Knicks Fall to Raptors
Late Monday night, Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks' star forward, got an opportunity he will get often this year: The chance to prove he can do it alone. When his potential game-tying 3-point shot bounced out with 11 seconds left in a 90-85 loss to the Toronto Raptors, it was yet another sign that this Knicks team needs all its manpower every night.
With Amar'e Stoudemire sidelined with a sprained ankle, Anthony scored 35 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to headline the Knicks' unenthusiastic performance—while point guard Toney Douglas had 22 points, no other player had more than 11.
The Knicks combined to make 35% of their shots and the three starters other than Anthony and Douglas scored 19 total points.
The Knicks were able to cut an 18-point Toronto lead to a single possession in the fourth quarter—mostly through the play of Anthony while Stoudemire missed his second straight game with the ankle injury. Stoudemire said before the game that playing in Wednesday's tilt against Charlotte is "definitely a good possibility." Rookie Josh Harrellson got the start for Stoudemire.
Harrellson certainly didn't remind anyone of the star he replaced—he scored two points with five rebounds in 33 minutes, though he did have a key block on an Amir Johnson dunk with over a minute to go to keep the game within one possession.

Limited Brands, owner of iconic intimate-apparel labels Victoria's Secret and La Senza, has committed to eliminate all releases of hazardous chemicals throughout its global supply chain.
It is now the 14th global corporation to make a detox commitment since Greenpeace released a report in November contending that several fashion lines may be contaminated with hazardous chemicals, the environmental group said in a news release.
A Greenpeace investigation had revealed the presence of a hormone-disrupting phthalate in underwear purchased from Victoria's Secret in the United States, the group said.
"Limited Brands has the chance to move from toxic villain to 'Detox angel' with its commitment to completely eliminate all hazardous chemicals from its supply chains and products. The onus is now on the company to follow up on its ambitious statement and quickly turn words into action," said Marietta Harjono, Detox campaigner at Greenpeace International.
Here's a link to Limited Brands' statement on its commitment to higher environmental standards. The document describes what the company will do to eliminate hazardous chemicals and sets a timeline for accomplishing those changes.

Anemia, which is a decreased number of red blood cells that carry oxygen to the body, is a potential side effect of chemotherapy depending on the type of chemotherapy, duration of treatment, and the amount given. Anticipating and managing anemia can help to minimize the symptoms it may cause.
As each person's individual medical profile and diagnosis is different, so is his or her reaction to treatment. Side effects may be severe, mild, or absent. Be sure to discuss with your cancer care team possible side effects of treatment before the treatment begins.
Red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to other cells throughout your body. Chemotherapy can damage your body's ability to make RBCs, so body tissues do not get enough oxygen, a condition called anemia. A person with anemia may feel very weak, tired, dizzy, faint, short of breath, or feel that his or her heart is beating very fast. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
You will be given tests to measure your hemoglobin and hematocrit during your therapy. These numbers are used to watch for anemia. If you have too few red blood cells, you may need a blood transfusion or medications, such as epoetin or darbepoetin, to raise the number of red blood cells in your body. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits in your specific case. These medicines take time to work. If the anemia is severe or you have symptoms, your doctor may decide not to wait until the medications work and proceed with a transfusion.
Consider the following strategies to help manage anemia and fatigue:
Take short naps or breaks. Make sure that you get enough sleep.
Limit your activities to those that are most important.
Try easier or shorter versions of activities you enjoy.
Take short walks or do light exercise, if possible.
Consider activities, such as meditation, prayer, yoga, guided imagery, or visualization.
Eat as well as you can. Drink plenty of fluids.
Join a support group. Your doctor can help you find a support group in your area.
Limit caffeine and alcohol.
Ask for help with daily responsibilities.
Talk to your doctor regarding ways to conserve your energy and reduce fatigue.
Report any changes in energy level, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, fluid retention or leg swelling, or frequent urination at night to your doctor.

Bridgestone-Firestone in Wilson and Goodyear in Fayetteville will cash in big on 10-year grants from the state, as long as they follow the guidelines.
They are each eligible for $30 million over the 10-year period. The money will come from the job maintenance and capital development fund, or JMAC, which was created by the General Assembly in September 2007 to encourage companies to keep high-paying jobs and shell out millions for updates to keep North Carolina competitive in a global market.
The grants for Goodyear and Bridgestone are primarily to support training for workers to use new technology and equipment.
According to the North Carolina Commerce Department, a company must invest at least $200 million over six years, employ at least 2,000 employees, pass a cost-benefit test, meet wage and health insurance requirements for workers and be located in one of the state's least economically prosperous, or Tier 1, counties to be eligible for a JMAC grant.
The commerce department reports Goodyear's grant requires the company to retain 2,398 workers and invest $200 million by 2012 at its Fayetteville facility to receive the full grant amount, and Bridgestone must retain 2,083 workers and invest $200 million by 2010 at its Wilson facility to receive the full grant amount.

I question how one ingredient is written on list and that is the Chipotle pepper. This recipe was put in our associations newsletter and a friend made it. It states "1 canned Chipotle pepper in Adobo sauce, minced. Did you mean 1 pepper from canned Chipotles minced because people think you mean all of peppers and sauce? Whole can makes for some rather hot and painful spice for most people.
A little spicy for some of my friends...but not for me. For those who don't like the spiciness i suggest using half of the chipotle can

Liquidity Bubble
Making Sense Of The Sudden Market PlungeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/22/2015 14:56 -0400
The eventual outcome to all this is captured brilliantly in this quote by Ludwig Von Mises, the Austrian economist: "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved." The credit expansion happened between 1980 and 2008, there was a warning shot which was soundly ignored by ignorant central bankers, and now we have more, not less, debt with which to contend.
Mark Hanson Is In "Full-Blown, Black-Swan Lookout Mode" For Housing Bubble 2.0Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/13/2015 13:40 -0400
Real Estate is a highly "illiquid" asset class 'most of the time'. It always has been and always will be. However, some times, such as now - and from 2003 to 2007 as a prime example - when liquidity is flowing like water, Real Estate's illiquidity is masked. Speculators can do no wrong. Simply having access to short-term or mortgage capital to purchase Real Estate guaranties a double-digit return. This continues until one day, suddenly, it doesn't; and, the snap-back to the true, historical illiquid nature of the Real Estate sector happens suddenly and is amplified at first. This creates a snowball effect from which both house supply and illiquidity surge at the same time. Price then becomes the liquidity fulcrum and will drop, relentlessly ripping speculators faces off, until capital begins to view the asset class as a relative value once again.

Bad News For America's Biggest Housing Bubble: San Francisco Home Prices Suffer Biggest Drop In Three YearsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/31/2015 13:50 -0400
It was not only the annual growth rate of only 7.9%, matching the lowest since the European debt bubble burst in 2010, but also the sequential rate of price drops, at -0.9% - the biggest monthly drop in three years, or since January 2012 - that will once again be a subject for concern of housing watchers. Because should the price decline resume its acceleration without any emerging tailwinds to prop up the local housing market, then there will surely be some severe fallout such as this peak housing bubble example, in which as Curbed reported last week, a run down shack which listed for $799,000 sold for 50% more, or $1.2 million a few weeks later!

America's Most Important Housing Market Signals A Red Alert For Housing Bubble WatchersSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/24/2014 10:46 -0400
While today's Case Shiller data was widely disappointing across the board, indicating a significant slowdown in price gains (and on a sequential seasonally adjusted basis, practically a decline), the one market we paid particular attention to was San Francisco. What we found is a red flag for everyone waiting to time the bursting of the latest housing bubble. Because after an unlucky 13 months of posting consecutive 20% Y/Y price gains, the San Francisco bubble appears to have finally burst, posting "just" an 18.2% price increase, the lowest since January of 2013.
Subprime 2.0: 125% LTV Loans Are Coming BackSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2014 13:29 -0400
Yesterday we mocked China for being desperate enough to push its tumbling housing market (which directly and indirectly accounts for some 80% of Chinese GDP per SocGen estimates) no matter the cost, that at least 20 developers were offering the kinds of mortgages that resulted in the first credit bubble crack up boom and collapse, namely "Zero money down." Little did we know that the US, never one to lag in the financial innovation department had once again one-upped China, by bringing back from the dead the company that according to Housing Wire was "once a poster child for pre-crash subprime lending" - Ditech Mortgage Corp. But best of all, ditech was known as a leader in subprime. The bulk of the mortgages were interest-only, low-documentation subprimes, and ditech was a pioneer in offering 125% loans allowing the borrower to borrow more than the sale price.

Hi All, Soon to be Triathlete. I own a Litespeed Arenburg and I am going to upgrade the wheelset from the stock low end Spinergy's. Would appreciate recommendations in the $450-$500 range. I'll be new to tri's but will still be putting on the miles doing centuries and such rides. I'm not looking to gear up for specific tri specs. Just looking for a good upgrade. Seen the Kryseriums but the reviews have been spotty.
Thanks Mike

The 3rd Congressional District of Southwest Washington will be getting flatter and more red, according to a plan announced Wednesday by the Washington State Redistricting Commission. The district currently served by U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, would lose its connection to liberal-leaning Olympia on its northern boundary and gain generally conservative Klickitat County on its eastern side.
Whether that's good news or bad news depends on your political persuasion. Republicans in Southwest Washington certainly will toast the 3rd's rightward shift as proper and long overdue, while area Democrats will mourn the metamorphosis. But the bigger bottom line is clear: No one should be surprised. Even casual political observers knew this was coming ever since Washington gained a 10th Congressional District as part of the redistricting procedure triggered by the 2010 Census. And as expected, the new plan positioned the 10th in and around liberal Olympia.
Sophisticated political junkies will intensely debate the myriad impacts of this change, but we don't see it as overwhelming. Most folks in Olympia probably don't think of themselves as Southwest Washingtonians but as Puget Sounders. We're not sure if Klickitat County residents think of themselves as Southwest Washingtonians, but remaining in a basically conservative district should be enough to keep them happy.
The plan is not final, but already there are several noteworthy regional and state factors to ponder in the bipartisan proposal:
Herrera Beutler's district would extend east of the Cascades, which means she will have more and different agriculture-related issues to deal with. Her new district would add about 86 miles along the Columbia River and would extend more than 250 miles, from Alderdale to Ilwaco.
In fact, it's difficult to imagine a more diverse constituency for a member of Congress, ranging from coastal communities in Pacific County to large urban areas around Vancouver to the rainy west stretch of the Columbia River Gorge to orchards on the dry side in Klickitat County.
Certainly, the 20,000-plus residents of Klickitat County are more conservative than constituents Herrera Beutler would lose in Olympia, but their political leanings should not be taken for granted. In presidential elections, Klickitat has favored both Democrats and Republicans, ranging from Michael Dukakis in 1988 to George W. Bush in 2004 and Barack Obama (by a mere 21 votes) in 2008.
Regarding statewide impacts, The Associated Press reports that the new plan would leave four "comfortably" Republican districts, including the 3rd, and five Democratic-leaning districts, including the 10th, plus what is expected to be a swing district, the 1st in the state's northwest corner.
No incumbents would have to move, a bit different than what is seen in current unofficial plans for legislative districts, where five legislators (including state Rep. Ed Orcutt of Kalama in the 18th District) likely will see their residences shift to other districts.
Soon after the new 10th District's location was announced, Olympia Democrat Denny Heck — a graduate of Columbia River High School who fell short in a bid for the 3rd Congressional seat — announced his candidacy in the new district. So did Republican Dick Muri, a Pierce County Council member.
All of which means that 2012 will bring an abundance of exciting news for both Republicans and Democrats. Buckle up for a wild ride, and remain ready to closely scrutinize the candidates and the issues as newly redistricted Washington moves into a new era of political drama.

In the past, my perception of the American Civil Liberties Union has been predominantly negative, for it often seemed to go to great lengths to find some obscure fault with well-meaning legislation or a logical rule of law. However, in the case its current focus on PeaceHealth, perhaps some meaningful good might result.
I have twice been treated at PeaceHealth and found their services excellent. However, recently I received a disturbing notification from my Medicare supplemental insurance carrier saying that PeaceHealth was no longer part of their "network."
In disbelief, I did some checking; sure enough, PeaceHealth was dropped from their list of approved "network" hospitals. This means that in the future, should I seek health care at PeaceHealth, I would incur a huge out-of-pocket expense.
Generally, we assume that when a health care provider is excluded from the network of a particular insurance company, that the two sides simply could not agree to a satisfactory financial arrangement. But is there more here than first meets the eye?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get practically all the guidance you need to implement effective computer security in a single book? Not just theory, but reality, too? Not obsolete information, but the latest scoop? No more searching aimlessly through white papers, RFCs, technical documentation, and all that jazz? If that sounds good, check out Network Security Bible. Written by security pros with more than 60 years experience, it covers everything from basic access control principles to the frontiers of secret communication.
You'll start by understanding your goal: a practical, defense-in-depth strategy that promotes confidentiality, data integrity, and availability without generating unacceptable inconvenience and cost. Since management skills and executive support are crucial, there's a full chapter on management right up front: policies, training, planning, legal and liability issues, and much more.
Next, you'll find more than 250 pages of coverage on securing operating systems and applications, including chapters on Windows, UNIX and Linux, web browsers and clients, email servers, and DNS. Needless to say, your Windows workstations are critical to your defense-in-depth security strategy. The authors systematically walk you through hardening Windows: shutting off unneeded services, enabling encryption (on XP Pro), configuring anti-virus and firewalls, locking down permissions, toughening passwords, establishing physical security, and keeping users safe once they're running.
Network Security Bible also contains a full section on network security, including chapters on both network architecture and wireless security. The authors wrap up with detailed coverage of assessing both the threats you face and the countermeasures you've implemented. Bill Camarda, from the March 2005 Read Only

Posted by a Consumer on 09/08/112.0 out of 5.0A few months after our Bankruptcy had been filed, we called to ask a simple question and the phone number was disconnected. We could not find anyone who knew about our bankruptcy. Also when we were in court the Judge had the wrong file and was accusing us of all of these fraudulent charges and our attorney sat there and said nothing. Finally I had to speak up and tell them that the charges they were talking about were not ours. The Judge made no apologies and our attorney said nothing.

Ten Things to Do During Summer Break
There are so many ways to help others, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. You can clean the mosque, read to a younger sibling, pull weeds, house sit, help out at a children's summer camp, teach elderly friends how to use a computer, organize a food drive, collect donations and run a race for charity, wash cars, or recite Qur'an and give the reward to someone else every day.
1.Learn a new skill or several. Sewing, cooking, changing the oil in your car, yard work, webpage design, photography – the possibilities are endless. Do not allow your body or brain to turn to mush just because school is not in session. Summer is a great time to pursue other interests or improve skills you already have.
2. Exercise Outside. Head out in the early morning for a hike, do yard work for your family and neighbors for free as a form of exercise, or go for a bike ride. But don't let the summer slip by without getting out into nature and being physical.
3. Read. Read Qur'an, religious books, novels, children's books, magazines, newspapers, Islamic Insights, textbooks and so on. Try to expand your reading horizons by reading a genre or author you would normally not be interested in. Join your local library's summer reading program and earn some fun rewards for your reading. Set an ambitious but achievable goal for your reading, and create a reading routine to achieve that goal.
4. Sleep. Don't spend the days all in bed, but allow yourself an extra hour of rest at night or a nap in the afternoon. For many students, summer provides some needed down time – just don't go so far with it that you become lazy or unhealthy.
5. Create. Make something this summer – maybe a book, a work of art, a craft, the food for a family get-together, a rebuilt car, a robot, a website, or a cure for cancer. Explore ways to express yourself, and you could be building a valuable skill set in the process. Your creations could turn into a way to make a living someday.
6. Volunteer. There are so many ways to help others, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. You can clean the mosque, read to a younger sibling, pull weeds, house sit, help out at a children's summer camp, teach elderly friends how to use a computer, organize a food drive, collect donations and run a race for charity, wash cars, or recite Qur'an and give the reward to someone else every day. If you're not in school, you should have more time to help out other people, and you can have wonderful experiences doing so!
7. Travel. Maybe your budget or circumstances do not allow for you to go on some grand trip, but you could probably arrange to at least get out into the country or to a nearby city you've never been to before and see some of the sights. Go to a museum, a national park, a nature preserve, a campground – just go somewhere you've never been and experience a taste of life in that new place. Try geocaching as a way to travel and see new places in your hometown while getting some exercise and finding hidden treasure!
8. Improve Your Religious Practice. Pick one or two things to focus on this summer to get better at – maybe you need to concentrate more in your prayer, observe Hijab better, learn to control your temper, develop a habit of getting up on time for Fajr prayer or Salat al-Layl, read Qur'an more, or simply get educated about your religion. Summer is a great time to get rid of a bad habit or make a new good habit.
9. Fast. The month of Ramadan is just around the corner. The days are long now, but you might still have some fasts to make up from last year, or you might want to participate in the recommended fasts of the months of Rajab and Shaban. Fasting even one day a week can help you get ready to get the most out of that holy month.
10. Work. Hopefully you do have some time to relax this summer and don't have to work while you go to school, but summer can be a great time to get some job skills or get your foot in the door by gaining experience in a field of interest. Your summer job can help your family get through tough financial times due to lay-offs, health problems, or other needs, or allow you to give a little extra to a favorite charity. It may also help you pay for a special treat for yourself or a loved one – maybe a plane ticket to visit relatives or the cash to buy your first car.

DAILY NEWS: MoMA Series Stopped by Strike; Also, CUFF Lineup and Queer Fest in Philly
By Eugene Hernandez/indieWIRE
>> First Run Features Retrospective Halted by MoMA Strike
(indieWIRE/ 7.27.00) -- A strike at New York's Museum of Modern Art
that will hit the three month mark tomorrow has delayed a First Run
Features retrospective that was to have opened today. More than 120
MoMA workers represented by the UAW went on strike April 28th, as a
result First Run decided to postpone its MoMA retrospective.
In a conversation with indieWIRE yesterday, First Run President
Seymour Wishman explained that the retrospective would have been
"a lovely tribute" to late First Run founder Fran Spielman. However,
he felt it would have been "inappropriate" to continue with the
two-month series given the subject matter of the company's social
issue documentaries that would have been shown. 50 films were set to
screen during the retrospective.
"We were delighted to have been given this terrific honor, and
thought it was particularly good for the filmmakers," commented Wishman,
"But it just seemed that the best thing was to postpone it and do it
in the Spring -- assuming the strike is resolved by then."
Since the strike began, MoMA has been hit with a number of high-profile
cancellations or postponements. The Museum's popular Summergarden
outdoor music series was canceled after musicians decided not to cross
the MoMA picket line. Additionally, a benefit concert by Sheryl Crow
was postponed.
The UAW represents more than 250 professional and administrative
employees at The Modern, including curators, librarians, educators,
store workers and graphic designers, according to striking Senior
Publicist for Film & Video Harris Dew. He indicated that the Union
members remain at odds over wage increases, health care issues, and
job security when the Museum begins its expansion in 2002.
"The Museum strongly believes that the strike is unjustified and is
determined not to let the strike interfere with its cultural and
educational mission," MoMA representatives commented in a prepared
statement, "However, it has agreed to postpone a handful of artist
appearances, lectures, concerts, and other events out of respect for
the individuals involved." The Museum is offering a preview of the First
Run retrospective over the next few days.
"We are extrememly thankful and very pleased that they (First Run) did
that," Harris Dew explained in a conversation with indieWIRE. A familiar
face among New York's indie film community, he added, "Of course it is an
honor to have a retrospective at the Museum, for them to put this
strike ahead of their own interest is really touching and really
appreciated by everyone." [Eugene Hernandez]
>> Chicago Underground Sets Seventh Slate
(indieWIRE/ 7.27.00) -- 18 feature films and 12 documentaries will screen
alongside 150 shorts at the Chicago Underground Film Festival's 7th annual
event organizers announced yesterday. Notably, the Festival will also
welcome cult director Alejandro Jodorowsky ("El Topo," "Holy Mountain," "Santa Sangre"), recipient of its annual Lifetime Achievement Award.
"In the wake of deadly indiewood fallout, CUFF strives to represent the
underground's vitality, programming films from the avant-garde of
experimentalism to the edge of transgressive media making," a Festival
announcement proclaimed yesterday. Continuing, in a prepared statement,
co-directors Bryan Wendorf and Jay Bliznick commented, "This is the
largest and most diverse line-up we've ever presented, featuring films
ranging from fine art experimentalism to over-the-top cult films and
everything in between. The growth of underground festivals like CUFF has
created a vibrant, artistically and culturally important community that
is keeping the true independent spirit alive even as the 'indiewood'
mainstream becomes more and more indistinguishable from Hollywood
The Festival will open with a movie that it partially financed through
its own film fund, Ben Berkowitz' "Straightman." The Festival will close
another CUFF film fund recipient, John Michael McCarthy's
"Superstarlet A.D." World Premieres include Clifton Holmes'
"In the Dark," Shawn Durr's "Fucked in the Face," and Rustin
Thompson's "30 Frames A Second: The WTO in Seattle." [Eugene Hernandez]
[The complete schedule will be available online on August 1st at:
>> BRIEFLY: Philly Gay/Lesbian Fest Wraps Record-Setting Year
(indieWIRE/ 7.27.00) -- Boasting record attendance, the 6th Annual
Philadephia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival came to a close
on Monday. With 26 sell-out screenings and 25,000 tickets sold, the
Festival concluded with an awards ceremony. The jury prize for Best
Feature went to Jon Shear's "Urbania," while the Best Documentary prize
went to Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman for "Paragraph 175."
The Festival's top Audience Awards went to Del Shore's "Sordid Lives"
(Best Feature) and Brent Scarpo and Martin Bedogne's "Journey into a
Hate Free Millenium" (Best Documentary). Joel Schumacher was on hand
this year to receive the Festival's Artistic Achievement Award.
Celeb attendees during the Festival included Charles Busch
("Psycho Beach Party"), actor Guillermo Diaz ("Just One Time")
and David Drake ("The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me").
