Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.

FileNet Corporation, a provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions, has announced support for new portal computing standards known as Java Specification Request 168 (JSR 168) and Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP). The company also plans to support the forthcoming JSR 170 standard. These open portal standards are intended to enable companies to easily integrate applications and content through enterprise portal frameworks, which are increasingly being used as a platform to deploy and develop applications.
FileNet expects to expand its current suite of portlets and offer a development framework to support the new standards. These solutions will enable companies to add ECM functionality to other systems and applications via portlets. The result is a Web application development infrastructure that enables businesses to develop content-rich applications that deliver information when and where it is needed. FileNet users will be able to leverage FileNet's content, process, and connectivity capabilities from any portal framework, including those from portal vendors such as BEA, Oracle, IBM, Plumtree, SAP, and Sun Microsystems. The integration solutions will be standards-compliant, but differentiated and will be optimized for each portal environment.

How does ownership of intellectual property rights
arise in your jurisdiction and what rights do inventors
In Germany, the ownership of inventions made by an employee
is regulated by the Act on Employees' Inventions
(Arbeitnehmererfindergesetz). Accordingly, an invention must be
reported to the employer, comprising a written description.
Having received the employee's report, the employer must
declare within a term of four months if he wishes to claim the
invention, this being identical with an assignment to the
employer. The employer can also declare that he wishes to claim
the invention only partially or even to release the invention
In the case of release or if the invention is not claimed
within the term, it becomes the property of the employee who
can dispose of it, in other words file patent applications,
license the invention and so forth, without any limitations. If
the invention is claimed (which is the usual case) it...

PCWA Limits Outdoor Watering to Two Days Per Week
AUBURN -- Directors of the Placer County Water Agency on Thursday (July 31) adopted new drought emergency regulations as mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board.
PCWA drought project manager Tony Firenzi said the most significant change for the agency's treated water customers is that outdoor watering will be limited to two days per week instead of three for the month of August.
The new regulations apply to approximately 34,000 PCWA retail water accounts including those in PCWA's Zone 4 service area in eastern Placer County's Martis Valley. The water agency is preparing a mass mailing that spells out the new rules and asks for customer support.
The PCWA board resolution recognizes water users who have made water use efficiency improvements, such as the addition of "smart" weather-based irrigation controllers and drip systems. Officials said irrigation schedules followed by these customers would likely save as much or more water than the two-day-per-week limitation.
Other state-mandated regulations adopted by the PCWA Board include prohibitions on:
- landscape watering that causes excess runoff
- using a hose to wash a motor vehicle, unless equipped with a shutoff nozzle.
- washing down hard surfaces such as driveways and sidewalks.
- using water in a decorative water feature, unless the water is recirculated.
PCWA declared a water shortage emergency in February, following Gov. Brown's Jan. 17 proclamation of a statewide drought. Since April, PCWA has called upon customers to reduce water use by at least 10 percent, with a higher goal of 20 percent.
Firenzi said PCWA customers are doing their part in meeting the challenges of the three-year drought. Through June, retail customers have reduced water use by 16 percent compared to last year, he said.
District 1 Director Gray Allen of Roseville said the tighter regulations should be manageable for customers and help save more water for next year. "This is a very well-written resolution," he said.
In other business, PCWA directors:
- welcomed Jason Tiffany, general manager of the Midway Heights County Water District, which purchases PCWA wholesale water to supply treated water and irrigation water to nearly 800 customers in Weimar, Applegate and Meadow Vista. He said that with the help of PCWA staff the district has been able to reduce its water purchases this year by 45 percent.
The next meeting of the PCWA Board of Directors will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 7, at the PCWA Business Center, 144 Ferguson Road, in Auburn. PCWA board meetings are open to the public.
Information on PCWA board meetings may be obtained through the Clerk to the Board at (530) 823-4850 or (800) 464-0030. For drought updates and water conservation information, see www.pcwa.net.

Relief as surgery wait ends
Relevant offers
A Blenheim woman promised a life-saving kidney by Christmas has to wait a little longer because of a booking bungle.
Marie Wilkey will have an operation to remove both her kidneys at Wellington Hospital tomorrow. In January, they will be replaced by a healthy kidney from her sister Erica Carey, also of Blenheim.
Mrs Wilkie said she had been led to expect a transplant operation on December 5, which would have meant her kidneys were removed in late October.
"But someone forgot to book the first operation," she said.
Meanwhile, a hernia caused by abdominal pressure from her enlarged kidneys has become very uncomfortable. Her Marlborough doctor decided to wait to fix it because he believed surgery was imminent.
Mrs Wilkes said on Monday she felt "really excited, nervous, angry, frustrated and relieved. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride".
Her kidneys weigh about 5.5kg each. She expected the operation on Thursday to be like having twins by caesarean. "I don't think we'll put a birth notice in the paper, though."
Once the kidneys have been removed, she will go to Nelson three times a week for four hours of haemodialysis, in which her blood will be run through a filter, cleaned and returned. Last week, she had a line inserted in her neck ready for this treatment.
The failure to book the preliminary operation had added a lot of stress to her wait, Mrs Wilkey said.
She wonders if a breakdown in communication between the Nelson Marlborough and Wellington district health boards and other services might have played a part.
For example, the same day the Wellington surgeon said no-one had booked her preliminary surgery and he could not operate until November, the transplant co-ordinator said "don't worry, it will be done by the end of October".
It was often unclear who was in charge of her treatment, so a lot of time was wasted trying to find the right person to ask any questions, Mrs Wilkey said.
Both sisters will book into Wellington Hospital for the transplant surgery in January.
For Miss Carey, the transplant will involve keyhole surgery and perhaps a couple of days in hospital. For Mrs Wilkey, recovery could take weeks. She now spends nine hours a night on home dialysis and wears maternity trousers to stretch across her swollen abdomen. She is in constant pain.
Her husband Alister and 15-year-old son Aaron are looking forward to seeing the quality of her life improve after two years of struggle.

West Seattle, Washington
One day after Chief Sealth International High School staff, students, and parents filled the Seattle School Board chambers to make impassioned pleas, they have followed up with a letter and petition. This, you might recall, all started with new enrollment projections leading to a last-minute order that Sealth cut three more full-time teaching positions in the final days of the school year. A point made repeatedly in testimony to the board last night was that the school had made it through a difficult budgeting process before this, with cuts already made, only to be told now they had to make more. The letter:
To: Seattle School Board Members: Stephan Blanford, Rick Burke, Jill Geary, Scott Pinkham, Betty Patu, Leslie Harris, and Sue Peters
Associate Superintendent Michael Tolley
Associate Superintendent of Facilities and Enrollment Flip Herndon
Deputy Superintendent Steven Nielsen
Last night, you heard from the staff, students, and stakeholders at Chief Sealth International High School about the impact of losing an additional 3.0 FTE from our budget for the 2016/17 school year after a long and difficult spring budget process that included deep losses and cuts of staff.
These additional displacements deeply affect our school's ability to offer the stable teaching core necessary to run a school which serves so many specialized populations. Our school cannot absorb or buy back staff. We do not have deep-pocketed PTSA dollars or grant dollars or other funding streams that other schools might use to offset such cuts. These shifts in FTE will cut deeply into the arts and CTE and have a significant impact on core academic programs for students. These programs allow us to close the opportunity gap for our students by providing IB for all and by creating programming that is working to affect real change for all of our students, including our disproportionately high specialized populations. These changes in enrollment will jeopardize these successful programs.
We as a staff would like to propose these solutions for the 2016/17 budget cycle. Here are our recommendations:
· Grant our mitigation requests for an IB coordinator and our immersion classes from the first round of difficult budget requests.
· Hold Chief Sealth harmless from these FTE changes for one year until the permanent West Seattle boundary decisions are finalized at the district level this fall.
· Re-evaluate our budget AFTER the District counts, which will include the nonresident and transfer students to Sealth, international students, and waitlisted students whose placements have not yet been finalized.
· Fund advanced learning in the WSS at Sealth, Ingraham, and Rainier Beach beginning in the fall of 2016/17.
Staff from Chief Sealth International High School
They are gathering signatures of support via this online petition including the letter.
Charges are now filed against both suspects arrested in West Seattle Tuesday night for allegedly breaking into a car on Alki and then waving guns and other items in two incidents including the car prowl's aftermath. (Our original report is here; our first followup is here.)
25-year-old Jory L. Preston and 19-year-old Justin M. Hoyt are both charged with second-degree vehicle prowl and second-degree theft. Preston also is charged with second-degree unlawful-firearm possession, as he is a convicted felon and not allowed to have a gun. The incident that led to the conviction, for domestic-violence assault, was covered here five years ago – Preston turned himself in at the Southwest Precinct after police, eventually including SWAT team members, sought him at a Delridge apartment building. He originally was charged with two counts of assault for a situation involving a former girlfriend, and struck a plea bargain, pleading guilty to one count, sentenced in September 2011 to the month and a half he had served by the time of the hearing. )
The charging papers filed today tell the same story detailed in our report last night on their bail hearing, with a few additional details – the amount of property they are accused of stealing is listed as more than $1600; also, police say Hoyt, despite having a Glock .380 semi-automatic handgun in his front pants pocket, did not have a concealed-pistol license. The charging papers say that while Hoyt has no felony record, he has convictions for being a minor intoxicated in public in 2013 and for hit and run in 2014. And while his bail was set at $100,000 in this new case, the jail register says he is being held without bail for a Cowlitz County warrant alleging failure to appear in a case of driving with suspended license. Preston's bail remains at $100,000. Both will face arraignment next – no date on the docket yet, but likely week after next.
The street party is on, rain or shine – note the jackets accompanying the leis – on a block of 48th SW near Ercolini Park tonight. The occasion: Today was the last day of classes for Seattle Public Schools, and these neighbors are Schmitz Park Elementary families, marking a double-milestone occasion: This was their students' last day at Schmitz Park, with the new Genesee Hill Elementary opening in September.
The band Däd – with the umlaut! – was delayed a bit due to the rain, but the show must go on:
Greeters Amy and Brooke explained part of the inspiration for the party was the pig-roast prize won at the school fundraising auction; a few of the neighbors had the winning bid. Summertime also brings "Aloha Friday" get-togethers at the park, and since the last day of school was a Friday this year, the theme just fit:
P.S. Thanks for calling to let us know about the party!
Tomorrow at the Seafair Pirates' Landing on Alki Beach, you'll see West Seattle Hi-Yu royalty, likely including some who were at last night's Hi-Yu White Rose Ceremony at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church in Admiral. In our photo above are, from left, Junior Court past and present, 2016 Princess Sara Henggeler, 2016 Queen Amelia Kline, 2016 Princess Stephanie Moore, 2015 Queen Emily Cain, 2015 Princess Audrey Kline. Also on the 2016 Junior Court but not at last night's event, Princess Cailyn White.
The event also celebrated Teen Ambassadors Callie McFadden, Louis Quantreille, Lily Trinneer, and Alyssa White. 2015 Senior Court Queen Kelly Crum is completing her reign:
Here's this year's Senior Court candidate Haley Beebe:
Hi-Yu Teen Ambassadors earn service hours; the Senior Court is eligible for scholarships.
Along with seeing Hi-Yu representatives at the Seafair Pirates event tomorrow, you'll see them often around West Seattle in July, including the Concert in the Park featuring the West Seattle Big Band at 7 pm Tuesday, July 19th, on the east lawn at Hiawatha, and four days later, in the West Seattle Grand Parade, with their award-winning float – Seattle's last traveling community float. Hi-Yu also can always use more members and volunteers – get in touch to find out how to help.
We've already previewed some of tomorrow's big events – and here's another: The Southwest Seattle Historical Society's annual benefit tour, "If These Walls Could Talk," takes you behind the scenes at The Kenney. Its century-plus-old grounds include the city-landmarked Seaview Building (with the cupola you see in our photo taken earlier this week at sunset from nearby Solstice Park). The SWSHS site has full details on the 3-5 pm tour, including a video invitation from the great-great-great nephew and niece of The Kenney's founders Samuel and Jessie Kenney. Admission by donation, $10 for SWSHS members, $15 non-members. (The Kenney is at 7125 Fauntleroy Way SW.)

3:31 PM: A two-vehicle crash at 35th and Avalon is tying things up right now at that busy intersection. At the scene, our crew was told one person is hurt and going to the hospital via private ambulance. Avoid the area.
3:39 PM: Per scanner, "all eastbound lanes on Avalon are clear" at the crash scene.
3:47 PM: Tow truck is reported to be on scene now – lanes will be blocked temporarily until it's done.
4:04 PM: SDOT cameras show the scene is clear.
3:10 PM: President Obama is due to land at Sea-Tac Airport shortly, and once his motorcade is on the move, that'll mean rolling slowdowns between there and downtown Seattle. West Seattle Bridge access to I-5 is usually temporarily closed too.
3:15 PM: Just heard an estimate that Air Force One is "about 20 minutes out." According to Seattle Times political reporter Jim Brunner via Twitter, the greeting party at Sea-Tac includes County Executive Dow Constantine, Mayor Ed Murray, and Governor Jay Inslee.
3:33 PM: As shown on KING's live stream, Air Force One has landed at Sea-Tac.

3:50 PM: The live stream now shows the motorcade on the move away from the tarmac. I-5 ramps are reported to be closed, so if you're heading eastbound, this will affect the West Seattle Bridge for a bit. Again, the President is headed downtown, for a dinner fundraiser, and then out of downtown for a private-residence fundraiser after 8 pm, and then will be staying overnight downtown, until leaving by 9:45 am Saturday.
4:07 PM: According to the view of the east end of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge via SDOT video feed, I-5 northbound is open again, as is the ramp to it (moving slowly, but that's fairly usual), and the President is arriving downtown.
All ramps and state highways have reopened. We see a lot of crashes in these situations. Please get back going carefully and safely.

We'll update this report if there are any alerts to share later.
7:20 PM: Just a note – the "secret" location for the President's second stop tonight has finally been made public. The Times says it's a residence in Medina (scroll to the 6:15 pm update). So sometime after 8 pm, when the President leaves the downtown Seattle fundraiser, he'll be headed to the Eastside and back downtown, until heading to Sea-Tac and flying back out Saturday morning.
From the WSB inbox:
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) advises travelers that crews will be paving SW 106th Street from 35th Avenue Southwest to 39th Avenue Southwest next week. This work will require lane closures and parking restrictions during the week. This work is weather dependent.

6:48 AM: Good morning! No incidents in/from West Seattle right now. Today's big traffic lookahead:
PRESIDENTIAL VISIT: President Obama is due in this pm from the Bay Area to headline a political fundraising dinner at the Convention Center downtown, and is staying overnight. The Boeing Field advisory kicks in at 3:15 pm today and lasts until 9:45 am Saturday, so his arrival/departure will be somewhere in that window. His motorcade usually uses I-5, and when it's about to pass, the ramps from the West Seattle Bridge are usually closed, so watch for updates here.
7 AM: Just texted and tweeted by Metro, a West Seattle bus cancellation:

— King County Metro (@kcmetrobus) June 24, 2016
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL: We should also note that Seattle Public Schools' last day of classes is today, with one-hour early dismissal.
8:09 AM – PRESIDENTIAL VISIT UPDATE: Found the official schedule on the White House website. 3:20 pm arrival projected; 6:55 speech at the dinner fundraiser; then at 8:25 pm, he's due to speak at a "private residence" fundraiser, and after that it'll be back to downtown Seattle for an overnight stay – the downtown security zone is detailed by SPD here. He's supposed to depart by 9:45 am Saturday, as mentioned earlier.
3:18 PM: We've launched a separate update now that the President is on the way – find it here.
In case you're on the move this early morning, no more bridge detours until Sunday night – the final closure of the week on the west end of the West Seattle Bridge ended early. When we crossed back westward at 12:20 am after a short trip downtown, we noticed the closure was ending, and double-verified via cameras once we got back to HQ.
ORIGINAL REPORT, 10:54 PM THURSDAY: The two men arrested two nights ago for alleged car-prowling and gun-brandishing remain in jail tonight, hours after a judge set bail for each at $100,000.
Court documents from this afternoon's hearing tell us more about the allegations against the two men, ages 25 and 19, both of whom are listed as living at Admiral District addresses.
The narrative says police were first called to Bonair and Alki around 11:40 pm on Monday night. A man told them he was walking along Alki Avenue when he heard the sound of glass breaking and saw what he described as two males hit a side mirror of a black Dodge Ram truck and then break one of its windows, taking items out of it, then getting into a white Ford F-150 pickup truck (described as having a white sticker on the back window) and leaving. The pickup's owner and three friends were in the area and the witness was telling them what he saw when, the report continues:
… the driver of the F-150 drove north on Alki Ave. SW; as they passed the Ram, both occupants of the F-150 waved pistols at the group. Approximately three blocks east on Alki Ave SW, the truck did a U-turn and began traveling back toward the Ram and group of individuals. As the F-150 approached the group of individuals, the driver turned the headlights off and stopped next to the Ram. The passenger held a small black "Glock subcompact" pistol out the door and was banging it on the outside passenger door of the F-150, while the driver held up another black pistol. The group of individuals feared they were going to be shot so they all ran and ducked behind the Ram. The F-150 left west on Alki.
As I did an area check for the F-150, a road-rage call was aired, stating a vehicle was being followed by a white Ford F-150 with a sticker on the back window in the vicinity of 50th Ave. SW/SW Charlestown.
The officer went to that area but didn't find the F-150. The officer talked to the victims, a man and woman, around 12:15 am, and this is what they reported:
They were parked on the north side of Madison Middle School talking in the car when a white Ford F-150 pulled up behind them and turned its headlights off. The passenger of the truck got out with a golf club in his hands and approached the passenger side of the vehicle (the two victims) were in. The driver of the F-150 approached the driver's side with an unknown "metal" object in his hand, which may have been a large wrench. The passenger held the golf club up like a baseball bat and yelled for the two to get off their block. In fear of being assaulted, (the victims) drove off and the F-150 followed.
The woman told police she recognized the passenger but not the driver. Less than 10 minutes later, another officer noticed a white Ford F-150 at the California/Charlestown 7-11, matching the description that had been circulated among police. The report says the driver was standing by the truck, while the passenger was walking out of the store toward it. Police took them into custody; the 19-year-old suspect was reported to have had a Glock 42 in his left front pants pocket, with "4 rounds in the magazine (but none) in the chamber."
The report continues, "There was a Glock 10mm pistol lying on the dashboard of the truck, golf clubs in the back seat, and miscellaneous tools in plain view throughout the vehicle." Victims from both incidents came to the scene and, the probable-cause documents say, identified both men as the pickup driver and passenger involved in the earlier incidents. Both are under investigation for harassment and theft; the older suspect is under investigation for unlawful firearm possession, as he is a convicted felon, while the younger is also being held on a warrant from southwest Washington for driving with a suspended license. Both are due back in court tomorrow, and we'll find out if prosecutors will charge them or whether they'll be released with charges possible later.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: Charges are now filed against the two suspects, 25-year-old Jory Preston and 19-year-old Justin Hoyt. We'll have a separate followup later tonight with full details.
Friday is the last day of classes for Seattle Public Schools – and at Highland Park Elementary, today was Field Day, a tradition at many elementaries in the final days of the school year. PE teacher Chellie LaFayette invited WSB to stop by and see what they were up to (that's her in the hat, below):
In the morning, the younger students were out enjoying the (fleeting) sunshine:
That included a chance to do some splashing:
The older students got their turn in the afternoon. Tomorrow, by the way, school gets out one hour early around the district.
Thanks to proud mom Stephanie Gerding for sharing the report, photo, and video about the first Girl Scouts to lead a flag ceremony at Schmitz Park Elementary:
After watching years of assemblies with boys serving Color Guard for the flags, 3rd grader Madeline Gerding from Girl Scout Troop 44428 here in West Seattle wrote a letter to principal Gerrit Kischner reminding him that Girl Scouts are just as responsible as Boy Scouts and could present the colors at assemblies too. Mr. Kischner wholeheartedly agreed and asked the Schmitz Park students from Madeline's Troop and from Troop 44253 to be Color Guard at the end-of-year assembly today. It was extra exciting since it's the last assembly at that site before moving on to Genesee Hill this fall!
Yay for all the educators that support these kids and encourage their voices!
Check out High Point Branch's new ballot drop box! Thanks @SPLBuzz @kcelections! @westseattleblog pic.twitter.com/4Y1kcyZWlZ
— Nathalie Wargo (@nathaliewargo) June 23, 2016
Thanks to Nathalie Wargo at High Point Library for tweeting the photo – King County Elections' permanent ballot dropbox has arrived! Earlier this year, the county committed to restoring dropboxes in areas including West Seattle, where the last one was removed more than five years ago. For the past few years, ballot vans had been brought here for a few days before each voting deadline, but otherwise, using postal mail was required, which required stamps; county dropboxes don't. So when your ballot arrives for the August primary, you'll be able to drop it off at High Point Library (35th and Raymond) if you don't want to use the U.S. Mail.
4:51 PM: We're at Seattle Public Schools headquarters in SODO, where the last-week-of-school order for Chief Sealth International High School to cut three full-time teaching positions has brought a big turnout to the School Board's budget public hearing. What was supposed to be a 15-minute hearing has already stretched beyond that, with a roomful of people, including teachers and students. Teachers who have spoken so far have talked about the inequity of the cuts and also about the cuts going counter to the district's goals. "The death by a thousand cuts will come," declared teacher Jason Glover. "If these cuts are maintained, we will be forced to cut programs." One of the speakers before him, Sealth teacher Paul Fischburg, said these cuts followed many others:
4:58 PM: Social-studies teacher Noah Zeichner is asking about district policies and boundaries and whether they are "decimating" the school and leading to socioeconomic disparity between the two public high schools in West Seattle. He says that the school was closed to international exchange students this past year, and that they should be allowed to wait and see if enrollment gains over the summer, including those types of students, might make up some of the newly reported shortfall (explained in our story from last night).
5:07 PM: The budget hearing continues, and it of course is about more than the Sealth cuts and other teacher staffing. The board has just heard from longtime district watchdog Chris Jackins, who mentioned a few West Seattle items – including the fact that the original Schmitz Park Elementary building is being closed without "a school closure process," a point that has also been raised by Vicki Schmitz Block, a member of the family that donated the land for the school on the grounds that it remain a school. He also asked the board not to close Roxhill Elementary, which is not explicitly spelled out in the upcoming budget but is implied because of money included for renovating EC Hughes Elementary, ostensibly to become the new home of the program currently at Roxhill.
5:10 PM: A speaker identifying himself as a Schmitz Park Elementary parent has now both mentioned a plan brewing to use part of its space for child care, while also urging a security plan for the many portables on its site, and expressing concern that they, as well as the building and its equipment, will fall into disrepair. He says he's frustrated that there does not appear to be a plan. He is followed by three Chief Sealth students who say the courses that might be cut as a result of budget cuts are important to their educational goals.
Another student shortly afterward says that cuts are harming the IB program at CSIHS: "Many people at Chief Sealth want to learn, just like any other person going to school." The next speaker, special-education teacher Joe Schultz, said he is speaking for students who couldn't be here – migrants, special-ed, students of color, "an incredibly diverse school that has incredibly diverse needs." The cuts "will crush programs … it will devastate my students, who love the wood-shop program … which already has gone down to .6 [of a teacher]. I urge you to look at the money that's available .. and help us save our programs."
5:27 PM: The hearing is still going after an hour. Parent Lynn Ogdon-Perrine is speaking about the needs of the school – its students, its teachers. She has been a very involved volunteer. She says Sealth made it through a very difficult budgeting process – and now, with days left in the year, it's "unconscionable" that they will have to deal with further cuts, especially losing teachers.
5:29 PM: We mentioned Vicki Schmitz Block earlier; now she is at the podium, speaking about the family's origins, as immigrants who cared about education. She says Schmitz Park School is missing in the budget book – "it suddenly doesn't exist, it has just disappeared. … At a minimum, the district needs to amend the budget" to add custodial/maintenance funds. "Disappearing Schmitz Park Elementary really means closing it, and that's not acceptable."
5:34 PM: Back to Sealth, another student is now speaking: "I look around this room and I see all these brilliant and amazing people that have supported me and my fellow students … it just breaks my heart hearing that three of these people have to leave or become part-time students … I can't let that happen. … I can't believe that Seattle Public Schools wants to take three of these people away. … They dedicate their lives to help students like me." She says that one of the teachers whose classes she had on her schedule next year has learned she'll be cut. … Another student says that she had been a student at Pathfinder and recalled having to join in the fight to keep the school from being closed, expressing disbelief that in this district, so many such fights were needed. … She's followed by a teacher and parent who says she also is in disbelief. (Added) As much as anger and emotion, disappointment was voiced by teacher Julie Brown, who said she has learned her position will be cut:
5:51 PM: Principal Aida Fraser-Hammer is now speaking.
"Finding out about cuts at the last minute does not promote consistency. … Our students deserve to know that they can have the consistency. I know that we run by the numbers, but we hire human beings." She asks them to take another look and see what can be done to prevent the cuts. And that ends the public hearing, more than an hour beyond the 15 minutes that it was originally scheduled to last. The board is scheduled to vote on the budget at a meeting in July.
ADDED FRIDAY AFTERNOON: We've learned an online petition has been launched; we'll be working on a separate followup for later tonight.
(Added: WSB photo by Christopher Boffoli)
3:22 PM: The Guardian One law-enforcement helicopter has been over Alki/West Admiral while police have been responding on the ground to what sounds to have started as a suspected package theft – they had been tracking possible suspects along SW Lander. Now Seattle Fire is responding to a possibly related medical call at 56th/Lander. We're still gathering information as we send a crew that way. More to come.
3:47 PM: Our crew has arrived and here's what they have been told by police: No crime committed, after all. The people who were reported as suspected package thieves were carrying a package of firewood. The person who was hurt was the person who reported them, who slipped and fell and hit his head. Guardian One just happened to be up and around and that's how they got involved, police said.
1:35 PM: Above, you see a live feed (evening update: archived version substituted) from the Sound Transit Board of Directors meeting that just started downtown. During this meeting, the board is expected to finalize the ST3 ballot measure that, among other things, includes a plan for light rail to West Seattle by 2030. See the agenda here. The ST3 resolution, calling for the plan to go to voters on November 8th, is here, with the financial-component resolution here, and the draft of plan details (including who gets what, when) is here. (Other docs are linked from the agenda page.)
2:07 PM: The public-comment period is continuing. The board has heard so far from a variety of speakers, expressing both support – from suburban and Seattle speakers – and opposition, including reps of a newly formed coalition under the banner "No ST3."
2:32 PM: After about an hour, public comment is over, and the board will hear from the "expert review panel" that took a look at the "methodologies and key assumptions that (have been used to prepare) the plan." You can read their memo here. From that memo, this might be of interest to those who would like to see a tunnel toward the end of the proposed line to West Seattle, rather than elevated:
For example, several stakeholder groups or jurisdictions have already expressed
interest in supporting construction of a tunnel in alignments where a tunnel is not being
proposed. Staff responded that such a major change in the project scope resulting in increased
costs would likely require additional funding from other public or private sources, beyond what
is available through the ST3 funding package. The Panel suggests that the plan should make it
clear that it is likely "outside" funding would be necessary to support major alignment changes.
This would help set expectations regarding future discussions about alternatives. This suggestion
could be particularly useful in light of the fact that the proposed ST3 plan includes provisional
projects. We assume that additional ST3 funding for a tunnel that is not included in the current
plan would be at the expense of identified provisional projects.
2:58 PM: In case you're just coming in now – the board is handling other business before getting to ST3 (as with many public meetings, there's some separation between the public-comment period at the beginning and the actual agenda item about which most spoke).
3:02 PM: And almost as soon as we made note of that – then the board arrived at the ST3 agenda items.
4:03 PM: The board members are making their final round of speeches before the official vote.
4:08 PM: "We have a plan," declares board chair County Executive Dow Constantine after a unanimous vote in favor of the plan. Next, the vote to send it to the November ballot.
4:20 PM: More from Constantine: "It's expensive, but it'll never be cheaper … so we must move forward to November … the hardest work is yet to come" – the work of convincing voters around the region to approve it. A moment later, the final, unanimous, voice vote sending it to the November 8th ballot.
From today's city-circulated Land Use Information Bulletin, three West Seattle notes:
REVISED PLAN FOR 2626 ALKI SW: For those wondering what's up with this mixed-use development, long slated for the corner of 59th SW and Alki Avenue SW:
(WSB file photo of future development site)
first announced at an Alki Community Council meeting three years ago – here's an update. It went through two Design Review meetings in 2014 with at least one more required, yet, to date, not scheduled. In 2015, its official land-use application was submitted. Now, one year later, the prospective developer has turned in a revised application, according to this notice in today's bulletin. It's now summarized as "a 3-story structure containing restaurant, 12 apartment units and parking for 23 vehicles"; at the time of the last Design Review meeting almost two years ago (WSB coverage here), the description was "14 residential units, 5 live-work units, commercial space, and 23 parking spaces." This opens a new comment period for the project – send comments to email@example.com by July 6th.
3601 FAUNTLEROY APPEAL: The recent approvals (reported here in May) for this proposed 14-house development in East Admiral have been appealed. Here's the notice. A hearing is set August 23rd in the city Hearing Examiner's chambers downtown.
3838 59TH SW ROWHOUSE: The bulletin includes the "environmentally non-significant" decision allowing a 3-story, two-unit rowhouse building on a sloped site ("environmentally critical area") uphill from Beach Drive. The decision is appealable, and the notice explains how, with a deadline of July 7th.

I didn't truly appreciate peaches until I moved to Portland. Honestly, I think Kramer was on the right track ordering peaches every year from Oregon, although there is no such thing as a Mackinaw Peach. I was bumping around my local market and got hit with the fragrant smell of ripe peaches and immediately thought of making a homemade bbq sauce and smothering it on my pork spare ribs
The key to keeping the sugar content low is using ripe peaches. I learned the lesson of my changed taste buds when my mother-in-law was over and I made her ribs and based them with the Peach BBQ sauce. She loved it but kept saying it was tangy. At the time, I was confused because it tasted dang sweet to me and then I realized, um, yeah, diet difference. If you want to kick up the sugar content I recommend using Muscovado Sugar , Brown sugar or maple syrup as the flavors will pair well with the sauce. However for Mr. Bejelly and I this is tasty as is and needs no more sugar. Here's a photo of my Dry Rubbed Oven Baked Ribs smothered in the homemade bbq sauce. It is a chunkier sauce so you can either puree it or cook it longer to break everything down a tad more if you want a smoother sauce.
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 lb of Ripe Peaches, skinned and diced - (3 medium)
- ½ cup of water
- 3 oz Tomato Paste
- ½ medium red onion, peeled and diced.
- 2 Tablespoons of Blackstrap Molasses
- ¼ cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon of sea salt
- In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add your bacon slices and let them cook for 5 minutes.
- You just want the fat of the bacon to soften before you add all the other ingredients.
- Place all the ingredients in the pan and simmer over low heat for 3 hours. Around the 2 hour mark, I would check the sauce and start mashing up the ingredients to help them break down quicker.
- Enjoy
© 2011-2012, A Girl Worth Saving. Feel free to pin my posts but do not repost my full recipe on your blog, Tumblr, or any other website.

Habana honoured by sports minister
- 04 Jul 2013
Fifty-try hero Bryan Habana has been honoured by sports minister Fikile Mbalula, and donated his R50,000 reward to charity.
Habana reached the milestone of 50 Test tries two weekends ago when he scored twice against Samoa in the incoming series decider at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. He became only the sixth player in the history of the game to score 50 Test tries. The Springboks won the match 56-23.
Apart from a special trophy, Habana also received R50,000 from Sports and Recreation South Africa.
'I feel privileged to be honoured in this manner by our minister of sport,' said Habana, who scored his first Test try on debut against England at Twickenham in 2004. 'However, I think it's only appropriate that I share the accolades with my team-mates, without whom I would not have been able to score any tries. To get one try for the Springboks was amazing – to reach 50 is almost unreal.'
Habana donated his prize money of R50,000 to the Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital.
'Madiba did so much for our wonderful country and this donation is just a small gesture to help his legacy live on forever,' said Habana. 'We all know how close children have always been to his heart and I think the building of this new hospital will ensure the world will forever know what Nelson Mandela was all about.'

Bismarck can back up Strauss
The decision to retain Adriaan Strauss as Springbok captain for the rest of the year is perfectly understandable, but it should not compromise the possibility of a national recall for Bismarck du Plessis, writes CRAIG LEWIS.
'Faf saved two certain tries'
What former Bok coach NICK MALLETT had to say on SuperSport about the Springboks' win over Ireland in Port Elizabeth.
Faf stood tall for Springboks
Faf de Klerk's heroics in Port Elizabeth prevented the Springboks from suffering a home series loss to Ireland, writes MARK KEOHANE in Business Day.

Mediated negotiations between the state and the owner of the Alaska Department of Labor building in Juneau have ended without a deal to extend the state's rental agreement.
The state will soon start looking for office space for Labor Department employees.
"We weren't able to come to terms on the Juneau Labor Building. Our plan now is to put out a competitive solicitation for replacement space for that lease," says Vern Jones, Chief Procurement Officer with the Alaska Department of Administration, which negotiates leases on behalf of other state departments.
Jones says the main sticking point was over the length of a new deal. The owners wanted a 10-year extension, while the state wanted no more than 5-years. He says Administration Commissioner Becky Hultberg wants more flexibility as the state explores its office space options in Juneau.
"Our commissioner has said all along that she wants to preserve the option of a new state office building," Jones says.
That's good news to members of Juneau's legislative delegation, who have pushed for a new state-owned office complex in the Capital City.
The Labor building has been plagued by numerous structural and air quality issues in recent years, and many employees say it's causing their lingering health problems.
Juneau Democratic Senator Dennis Egan says something had to be done to improve conditions for those workers.
"You wouldn't believe the emails that we get from employees," Egan says. "And it's not two or three employees that are disgruntled and then other employees think, 'Well, I don't feel well either.' There are a lot of employees that are directly affected and I applaud the administration for getting them out of there."
If the state decides to build new office space, Egan says the delegation would like to see it located downtown, near existing state offices and the Capitol.
"It's more convenient, it's in the core area of government and that's where government ought to be. Directors and financial people; people that directly relate to the legislature," says Egan.
In the meantime, Jones expects the request for proposals for office space to go out in the next two months.
"We've done some preliminary work and we know that there is space available," he says. "Maybe not all in the downtown area, but area-wide we think there is sufficient space available. So, we're hoping for good competition."
The state's lease at the Labor building expires at the end of June. Jones says it's unlikely all of the employees will be moved out by then, but the current lease allows the state to stay in the facility on a month-to-month basis.
As we reported Monday, work began over the weekend to identify and remediate any mold in Room 210 of the building. Jones says the end of negotiations between the state and owner should not affect that work, which had already been agreed to and is being paid for by the owner.
Department of Labor officials involved in the lease negotiations were not available to comment by air time. But Labor spokeswoman Beth Leschper says there are absolutely no plans to move employees outside of Juneau.
