Best performance in Basel so far
Roger beat Simone Bolelli of Italy 6-2, 6-3 this evening to reach the semifinals of the Swiss Indoors in Basel.
"I'm very satisfied by how it went," Roger said. "I tried to step up the pressure and so far that's worked well."
After rather stuttering performances in his first two matches this week, our world number two was in full control against Bolelli, breaking the Italian twice in the opening set. Following a further break in the second, Bolelli did well to save three match points on his serve at 5-2 but could do nothing more as Roger took the final game to love, ending the match with two aces and a service winner.
Roger will next play Feliciano Lopez of Spain, who beat fourth-seeded James Blake of the United States 6-4, 7-6 (4). Roger passed up three match points at 5-2 on Bolelli's serve, but served out a love game including two of his eight aces in the match.
Like Trinimum said, thanks a million for the link!!
Get through to the final quickly. God bless and speed you!

David Bintley's Aladdin: A Story of Romance, Trickery and Adventure
From February 20-March 2, 2014, Houston Ballet presents the North American Premiere of David Bintley's Aladdin, the first work by the celebrated English choreographer to enter Houston Ballet's repertoire. A run-in with palace guards leads young Aladdin into a whirlwind of adventure and romance, involving unbelievable riches, love at first sight, treachery, and of course a magic lamp containing a powerful genie. The three-act production boasts a stellar creative team with renowned film composer Carl Davis, famed costume designer Sue Blane and accomplished set designer Dick Bird.
The story of Aladdin and his magical lamp originated as a tale that appeared in the epic One Thousand and One Nights or Arabian Nights. This collection of stories was a compilation of tales brought together from countries in the east such as China, India, Egypt, Iraq and Iran. Although the legend of a boy receiving three magical wishes has been around since the third century, the story of Aladdin was not widely known until French scholar Antoine Galland translated the tale and introduced the collection of stories to European readers in the early 18th century. Since then, the tale of the poor boy who finds a magical lamp has enthralled and inspired audiences. In 1885 British explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton published the celebrated English language translation of the book. It stood as the only complete translation of the Macnaghten or Calcutta II edition (Egyptian recension) of the Arabian Nights until the Malcolm C. and Ursula Lyons translation in 2008.
Literary critics Saree Makdisi and Felicity Nussbaum write in The Arabian Nights in Historical Context Between East and West, "A Thousand and One Nights or The Arabian Nights changed the world on a scale unrivalled by any other literary text. Editions, compilations, translations and variations circled the globe to reveal the absorption of The Arabian Nights . . . where it now enjoys a degree of prominence never attained before."
The popularity of Aladdin led to it being performed as a pantomime for the first time at Covent Garden in London in 1788, but not in a pantomime format that audiences would recognize today. The characters were not named and the performance ran for over two hours. The pantomime was not widely acclaimed and, despite repeated attempts at revivals, the story languished until the famed pantomime author Henry J. Byron wrote Aladdin or The Wonderful Scamp, which was performed at the Strand Theater, London in 1861 to great success. It is from Mr. Byron's version that all modern Aladdin adaptations are descended.
Today, Aladdin is one of the most opulent and spectacular pantomimes to be seen. In Britain, the pantomime is a popular Christmas tradition, with productions including rich and colorful costumes and sets. Almost every production includes what is called a "specialty act" in which a magical flying carpet appears to a stunned audience. Also essential to the pantomime production is the magical lamp in which a genie appears to grant Aladdin's wishes.
Mr. Bintley choreographed Aladdin for New National Ballet of Japan. It had its world premiere in 2008 where Asahi Shimbun (Japanese national press) praised the ballet as "Elaborate and splendid." On creating the ballet, Mr. Bintley said, "One of the most pleasurable experiences of my choreographic life was the creation of Aladdin for the dancers of the New National Theater Tokyo. I won't go so far as to say it was one of the easiest experiences, but certainly a period of my life that I will always treasure."
A native of Huddersfield, England, Mr. Bintley began his training at the age of four. In 1973 he joined the Royal Ballet Upper School, where he was influenced by Dame Ninette de Valois and Frederick Ashton. He cites Valois and Ashton as his heroes, and his love for the communicative style of English ballet that they forged springs from the training they gave him. He joined Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet in 1976, where he made his mark playing character roles such as Alain and Widow Simone in Ashton's La Fille mal gardée and the Ugly Sister in Cinderella. At the same time, his choreographic ambition was encouraged, beginning with The Outsider in 1978 and continuing through his first major narrative ballet The Swan of Tuonela in 1982. In 1983, he became resident choreographer of Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet, but left three years later to take up the same position at The Royal Ballet. Mr. Bintley resigned from the Royal Ballet in 1993 and left to work abroad. In 1995, he returned home as artistic director of his old company, now based in Birmingham and renamed Birmingham Royal Ballet.
Since his appointment, he has shaped a company where the dancers share his philosophy of continuing to preserve the classical repertory while introducing new work made in the same idiom. At the same time, he has continued to be a prolific choreographer, with a natural impulse towards story telling that has made popular hits of works such as Carmina Burana (1995), Far From the Madding Crowd (1996) and Beauty and the Beast (2003). In 2010 Mr. Bintley accepted the role of artistic director of the National Ballet of Japan, creating Aladdin(2008) and The Prince of Pagodas (2011), while simultaneously holding the position of artistic director of Birmingham Royal Ballet.
The music of Aladdin was composed by Carl Davis, who is highly acclaimed in the fields of films and musicals. Mr. Davis has written numerous ballets, TV and film scores including The French Lieutenant's Woman in 1981, for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.
Costume designer Sue Blane created the striking costumes seen in Aladdin. She is best known for her costume designs for the iconic The Rocky Horror Show and The Rocky Horror Picture Show by Richard O'Brien. Ms. Blane was nominated for a 1997 Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance for her design of English National Ballet's Alice in Wonderland and a BAFTA nomination for Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract. Set designs for Aladdin were created by Dick Bird. He has designed numerous theatre, opera, ballet, TV and film productions including for the Barbican, Opera North, English National Opera, Royal Court Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre, Young Vic and Crucible Theatre.
Aladdin is a co-production with Birmingham Royal Ballet.

During times of violent conflict, rape is frequently used as a military tactic to harm, humiliate and shame. Violence and war can also weaken systems of protection, security and justice. For these reasons, conflicts often exacerbate and escalate sexual violence. Similarly, disasters can also cause a deterioration of protection systems, which has the potential to increase vulnerability to abuse, gender-based violence, sexual harassment and trafficking.
Increased levels of sexual and gender-based violence can often persist well after the end of a crisis. Women and girls are usually disproportionally affected, and crimes such as these have devastating, long-term effects on the lives of survivors, their families, and the communities in which they live.
But sexual and gender-based violence is neither inevitable nor acceptable. It is an outcome of gender inequality and a violation of human rights, for which states are accountable.
UNDP supports national efforts to respond to sexual and gender-based violence by:
- Increasing women's political participation and leadership in sectors such as justice and security, conflict prevention and peacebuilding, and economic recovery;
- Supporting the development of policy and legal frameworks that are inclusive and protective of women and women's rights;
- Improving access to justice and security service delivery;
- Providing services for survivors, including medical, psycho-social, family, legal and economic assistance;
- Tackling impunity for sexual and gender-based violence;
- Establishing victims' rights to reparations to help them rebuild their lives;
- Engaging at community level in awareness-raising and prevention activities;
- Mobilizing men to advocate against and tackle the prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence.

A Leavenworth man has been convicted of a weapons violation for a concealed knife he was carrying during a traffic stop, according to a prosecution official.
Johnny Ray Davis, 51, was convicted Thursday following a one-day jury trial in Leavenworth County District Court. He was convicted of an aggravated weapons violation by a convicted felon and driving with a suspended license.
The charges stemmed from a March 26 traffic stop in Leavenworth, according to County Attorney Todd Thompson.
Davis reportedly was stopped for failing to use a turn signal. Police officers identified Davis and knew he had a suspended license. As he was being booked into the jail, it was discovered he had a knife in his waistband, according to Thompson.
Sentencing for Davis is scheduled for Dec. 11. Thompson said, given Davis' criminal history, the defendant could face prison time for the weapons charge. He also could face time in the Leavenworth County Jail for the suspended license charge, which is a misdemeanor.

Hello All, My wife has finally given me the green light to get her a bike as she is ready to give it a try. However, in doing research I am having trouble figuring out what size is best for her. She is very petite, 5'2". Any input would be greatly appreciated. It seems that many women this size have trouble finding a road bike that has the right geometry for them. Thanks!
84 pounds lost and counting.
Having just gone bike shopping for the first time last weekend, my friend is 5' 1-1/2" tall and the fram that fit her best was a 15" frame.
I'm 5' 4-1/2" tall and I was between a 17 and 19" frame - ended up going with the 19" frame. The bike shop sales folks were stunned.
Based on my friend, probably a 15" fram would be good for your wife.
Best to talk to a bike shop and best to have her along as well. She should be measured and fitted to make sure whatever bike you (she) get will be right for her. At that size you may be looking at 650 wheels (larger road bikes have 700 wheels) which is ok and tires are easy to come by. Some manufacturers use English measurements (the 17"/19" post above), others metric (probably around a 50cm), and others are XS, S, M, M/L, L, XL or some combination thereof. Sloping top tubes create "equivalent" lengths/sizes. There are also "Women Specific" designs based on the general dimensions of women vs men. But since we are all different, it is best to get to a good bike shop with a respected fitter. Some will discount the professional fitting (as opposed to ballpark, walk in the store general fit) price if you purchase there. Good luck and congrats to her for jumping into cycling.
Go to a bike shop so she can get a fitting where they spend a good deal of time taking her measurements, writing them down, and testing different models and adjusting to fit. She needs to testride many different geometries and models. She may need a longer top tube and shorter seat tube, or the reverse; she may need a very relaxed seat tube angle... how about handlebar size (reach, drop, width?) Short-reach brakes? Saddle (seat) type? Saddle width? Wheel size, Width? Crank-arm size? Etc. Etc. Etc.
Find a shop that will do a fitting and then recommend a particular bike that possibly may work, rather than one that just wants to sell you their floor stock. If you are looking for a less expensive but very well made bike, I suggest a Jamis, they come in many sizes. Specialized makes great bikes too. Kona's are nice, same with Surley. May even try a Terry.
There are many brands, of course. Geometries are different from brand to brand, and even within brands between different models.
But, to reiterate: go to a bike shop!
It may be tempting to buy online, but every bike feels different, and then someone has to assemble it and fit her to the bike, so you would probably end up going to a bike shop and having them do both things at additional cost. If you buy from a shop, those things are normally included in the cost of the bike. So you save money buy going to the LBS (local bike shop).
Research whatever bikes you find in the LBS on the web. Don't impulse buy. Shop around, test many, go to different stores.
Not a bad idea to go to Team Estrogen Forums and post there to get some ideas. Also, google 'bike fit' to get an understanding of the complex process. Injury happens on ill-fitting bikes. Or she just won't ride because it's uncomfortable or painful.
It wouldn't hurt if she did the asking though. Makes more sense, yes? (A lot of guys do post there asking exactly the same thing).
Good luck.
My wife is also 5' 2", and I shopped for a new frame/bicycle about a year ago. I discovered that while there are different size frames available, the critical dimension - the top tube- is stays the same even when you go to smaller frame sizes. This has to do with the geometry of 700cm wheels and the need to avoid toe slap. After researching this topic quite a bit, I came to the realization that a frame with 650cm wheels would be the correct size. My wife is now the happy owner of a Cervelo XS frame 650 wheel combination. An important side benefit is this combination is also less weight. While I agree with going to a bike shop and getting fitted, keep in mind that they have limited inventories and almost never have bikes with 650 wheels. Stick to your guns, and have them special order if necessary. Good luck.
Simply not true. There is a great deal of variance between TT length and size. Both within brands and especially between brands. And I know many women who are 5'2'' who use standard-size wheels, which is best because they are much easier to find.
I've attached a thorough explanation, this program wouldn't let me copy/paste it. I originally typed in word because the internet was 'acting up.'
One thing: when I said:
The sloping 'shoes' theoretical... I meant 'shows,' I did this twice in a row. Sorry about that!
Whle I agree with your basic premise: get to a bike shop for a professional fitting because we are all differently sized; I disagree with some of your analysis. Not too long ago, all bikes (except department store mixtes) had a top tube parallel to the ground. Manufacturers had sizes like 48, 50, 52, etc to 60 plus. Sometimes every other number, sometimes every one. This is the seat tube length from the center of the bottom bracket (crank) to the center of the intersection of the top tube and seat tube. With a standard seat tube angle (usually around 72/73 degrees) a longer seat tube equates to a longer top tube. I contend that manufacturers went to the S/M/L (some with XS and XL) format with sloping top tubes so that they didn't have to make as many bikes in a range of sizes that wouldn't sell and have excess inventory at the end of the season. With S/M/L one only has to make three frame sizes and fit people using a variety of seat posts and handlebar stem lengths. The effective tope tube is NOT measured from the handlebars to the top of the saddle; it is still from the center of head tube to the imaginary intersection of the seat tube and a parallel-to-ground top tube. This helps someone who knows what TT length fit under the "old" system based on their personal torso length. There is a strong correlation between size and top tube length. While time trial/triathlon bike specific bikes have steeper head tube and seat tube angles (around 78 degrees), a standard road bike with 73 degree angles will yield specific top tube lengths depending on the seat tube length.
Now, smaller frame sizes can play with the geometry a bit and crank length to avoid 650 wheels and that's fine as long as it fits. But the over-riding concern with small frames and 700 wheels is toe overlap while turning. It is also difficult to create adequate head tube length to clear 700 wheels (the down tube and top tube might have to intersect prior to head tube) on small frames.
That's fine. I actually agree with you ROB. And center of handlebars is wrong, but frankly it makes more sense to me, thus my own confusion. (Actually, I should have studied that Colnago chart more. I've made that mistake before. But it took a long time to write that.
I didn't address that the top tubes are longer in proportion to seat-tube height. It's easy enough to see that on the charts.
But I'm not a fitting expert, and it does get confusing. Which is the point, really.
I happen to have an 'old school' geometry Miyata 312. It has toe-overlap and 27 1/8 wheels. The toe-lap is irritating to me, and it is definitely best avoided.
I wouldn't want my main road-bike to have odd-size wheels if I could possibly avoid it though. Choices are too limited. And 5'2'' is fairly common with female cyclists.
But that Miyata will never fit anyway, I need a very compact TT, and a longer seat-tube. Ah, well.
One thing, it's true all the top tubes used to be about the same. But that 'not too long ago' is the late 80's, (I think, according to Sheldon Brown) and that's over 20 years ago now.
Time flies....
These are great responses you guys! I think we're getting close. Our local bike shop is great, and they just invested in one of those Retul systems. Just a cool $200 for a state-of-the-art fitting. I hope she sticks with this!

Cancer Diagnosis Linked to Suicide, Heart Attack
April 5, 2012 -- Newly diagnosed cancer patients have an increased risk of suicide and death from heart attack and stroke, according to a new study.
Research published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine finds that the risk is present even before treatment begins, and the risk was greatest among people with the most deadly cancers.
The findings confirm that a cancer diagnosis may have an immediate effect on physical and emotional health that can lead to death, say researcher Unnur Valdimarsdottir, PhD, of the University of Iceland in Reykjavik.
"Just as war and natural disasters have been linked to deadly cardiovascular events and suicide, a diagnosis of cancer is a major life stressor," Valdimarsdottir tells WebMD.
Cancer Diagnosis and Noncancer Death
The study included data from 1991 to 2006 about 6 million adult residents of Sweden age 30 or older who were enrolled in a nationwide health registry.
During this time, about 534,000 people in the registry received a first diagnosis of cancer. Slightly more than 26,300 people were diagnosed with cancers considered to be highly fatal, including those of the esophagus, pancreas, and liver.
Compared to people without a diagnosis of cancer:
- People with cancer were 12 times more likely to commit suicide within a week of diagnosis and three times more likely to commit suicide within a year.
- Cancer patients had a fivefold increase in deaths due to heart attack, stroke, or blood clots in the week following their diagnosis. In the first month following their diagnosis they had a threefold increase in risk, compared to people without cancer.
- People with the most deadly cancers had a 16-fold greater suicide risk within a week of diagnosis and a 15-fold greater risk of having a fatal heart attack or stroke.
Within a year of diagnosis, the suicide, heart attack, stroke, and blood clot-related death risk had returned to normal levels for people with all types of cancer.
Message: Address Noncancer Needs
Psychiatrist Bryan Bruno, MD, of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, says the findings highlight the need to address emotional and noncancer-related health issues in the weeks following a diagnosis of cancer.

Yoga and the Earth
As you grow and deepen your conversation with yoga, it becomes quite clear that the yoga practice must stretch far beyond the boundaries of that little sticky mat. Naturally, your practice begins to bleed into every part of your life, saturating your world with concepts like ahimsa (non-violence). Part of that concept is living in a way that is non-harming to the Earth.
Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to explore this mind-set, as we look for ways to give back to our life-sustaining planet. Every moment we are nourished and blessed by the abundant gifts of the Earth, and on this particular day we have the chance to give gratitude back to the source! This is a special chance to develop lasting rituals in your yoga practice and in your life that nurture an eco-centric approach to everyday living and that have the potential to last all year round.

Mother Butter's offers casual, Southern fare
Published: Monday, June 10, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 10, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
"We do a little bit well, not a whole lot of lousy," says the owner of a new downtown Hendersonville restaurant.
Mother Butter's, at 123 Fifth Ave. E., opened recently and provides a wide range of salads, sandwiches and more during the lunch hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The restaurant's hours may expand in the future.
"We concentrate on quality," owner Suni McMath said of the eatery that sits next to City Hall.
McMath was once in the interior design business and then opened a restaurant in upstate South Carolina. Recently she made the decision to start Mother Butter's.
"What can I say," McMath said. "Hendersonville is one of the greatest little towns anywhere."
Her philosophy to ensure her new business is successful is to understand the community and be flexible.
"We want to learn what people like by listening to the customers," McMath said. "We have to come at things with sincerity."
She categorizes the menu as refined comfort cuisine with an emphasis on healthy food from local distributors.
On Sundays, McMath puts out a family-style menu on the restaurant's Facebook page. One recent menu included chicken cordon bleu, fried catfish and more. The Sunday menu will change weekly, and McMath will post the meal the previous day.
McMath said she is fortunate to serve her customers.
"There is a sense of honor and privilege in serving people," she said.

August 21, 2006
After raising taxes to fill this year's budget holes, commissioners are now looking at cutting services to solve next year's expected $6 million budget shortfall.
A plan before city leaders would cut services in nearly every department, but one area would be hit the hardest.
Cutting millions out of a budget can be difficult. Of course, you can't do away with mandated things like courts and law enforcement...but one area not mandated by law is recreation. That's why it's a department that could get cut all the way to the bone.
After working at Dyess Park for 8 years, Fannie Collier is now learning that the downtown Rec. Center may be closing.
"I think it will be a tragedy," she says.
It means her job may be swept away too, as city leaders tighten the belt on next year's budget.
"I need my job and I got bills to pay."
She's not alone. The proposal from city administrator Fred Russell includes closing other recreation facilities like Dyess and Doughty Park community centers and Hephzibah/Carroll Park.
"The cuts are going to hurt people and they're going to make people unhappy," Russell said.
Plans also include closing the pool at May Park and ending all special events on the Riverwalk.
"Recreation is something that improves the quality of life. It's something we like to have...but it's not a necessity," Russell said.
And while such critical cuts would leave some hanging, Commissioner Keith Brown says it's important to keep one thing in mind: "Nothing is set in stone yet. We still have an opportunity to make any changes we'd like to make."
And perhaps it's that certainty that things are uncertain keeping Fannie Collier working instead of worrying.
"Just keep the faith, it will work out," she says.
Also on the list of recreation cuts are brochures, all overtime, and security systems for the facilities.
In all, the plan would cut 30 jobs from the Recreation and Parks Department, and 80 city jobs total.
Nothing is final, but city leaders will have to make some decisions soon as the budget come up for final approval.
Commissioners raised the millage rate to balance the 2006 budget. In past years they've dipped into the city's reserve fund.
Those are both strategies they are not looking at for next year's budget.
Fred Russell's plan includes cutting $6.5 million from the budget, including almost $1.5 million from the sheriff's department and more than $1 million from public transit.
If you have ideas on where the city should cut the budget, we'd love to hear from you on our news blog. Click here to chime in.

Police Chief Staci Curl reported to the Galva City Council on Dec. 3 about a string of thefts at the trailer park in the 400 block of James Street in Galva.
Curl said she had made one arrest in the case — a juvenile, 17, who allegedly stole some vehicle tires.
Charges are pending against an adult suspect for allegedly stealing a number of other items.
The stolen items have been recovered and returned to their owners. Curl said the string of thefts has died down in that area since the arrest.
Curl reminded everyone to keep doors and vehicles locked when unattended.

Condor Multi-Wrap (Olive Drab) - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Great ValueThe beauty of this piece is that you can use it in many ways. Of course that's the only reason its a great product.
This is made to be comfortable, "breathable", easy to store, light weight, and above all adaptable.
Comfort- The fabric is incredibly smooth and feels so even with 5 o'clock shadow. The wrap is also as soft as a newly purchased and washed pillow cover, only its elastic.
Ventilation- Even with the wrap completely covering your mouth and nose, when you exhale none of that "annoy warm beneath" lingers. All other spots that skin is covered can vent easily as well, resulting in a cool head.
Storage- You don't even need to fold it and it'll easily fit into a pocket, utility pouch or admin pouch.
Weight- The wrap only weighs 3 or 4 ounces
Adaptability- There are many ways to arrange this wrap to fit your needs but, the three I find most useful to be 1. the full (face) wrap, 2. the sweat band, and 3. the lower head wrap.
1. Exactly what it sounds like, cover the neck and all of the head with the exception of the eyes and the surrounding area around the eyes. Provides maximum protection.
2. This method is a simple wrap around the top of the head starting by the eye brows and going half way up the hair line. Provides little protection but, helps to keep sweat out of your goggles and eyes.
3. Again, exactly what you would think it is but, it could be worn one of three ones for this method. Either the wrap could be worn from the nose to the chin or it could worn from the nose to the base of the neck or even just around the neck. Provides fairly good protection, based on the style chosen by the player.
I have found only one draw back to this wrap and that is how thin it is. Its thickness (or even somewhat lack there of) allows for great ventilation, flexibility, and makes the wrap lightweight. However, when compared to some other face wraps or covers, like shemaghs, protection from BB strikes is a little lacking, specifically for teeth. I've seen teeth get hit on the field and I have my doubts about this wrap saving teeth but, protection in general is certainly better than just bare skin. That being said, in conclusion this is an excellent piece of kit that should find its way to your loadout.
- The Condor Multi-Wrap is Amazing!First off the main reason I bought this was only for camouflage but when I started using it I realized that it also keeps me incredibly cool. For me I wear a rubber face mask which gets really sweaty. But when I put this product on to cover my face mask is pulled the moisture away from my head. Which means it kept me really cool even though I was shooting for three hours in eighty degree weather. I use this product every time I play airsoft now. So besides the Multi-Wrap pulling the sweat away from you it also cheap but is very durable. The only way that this could tear is if you cut it with a knife! I would recommend this to everyone.

Standards & Specifications
Last Updated on Tuesday, 13 January 2015 13:42
Pullman's Design Standards
Design Standards - 2012 Edition
Section E – Erosion Control
Section F – Storm & Surface Water Drainage
Pullman's Standard Construction Specifications
Standard Construction Specifications - 2014 Edition
In addition to the above documents, Pullman has adopted the Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction produced by WA State Dept. of Transportation. The most current version can be viewed at WSDOT's website below.
Additional Pullman Stormwater Design Considerations/Requirements:
(Last Revised 02/08/08)
·When determining the need for stormwater detention/retention, there are two thresholds to consider:
1) Is impervious surface being increased by a net of >10,000 sq. ft.?
2) Are >10 parking stalls being added?
If either answer is "yes" then stormwater detention/retention is required.
·The current minimum standard for managing stormwater is designing to a 10 yr 24 hour storm event. Except for Hatley Basin, which has its own set of criteria (contact Public Works – Engineering staff for specifics).
·Regardless of where the stormwater basins are located, the outlet structure should be designed to be staged to provide attenuation during lesser storms (i.e. 2 yr & 5 yr).
·Contractors/engineers needing topographic maps with contours can access them on the City's website (Departments / Public Works / City Maps / Aerial Maps).
·All new construction over an acre in size (or parcels that are smaller but are a part of a larger development) falls under the WA Dept. of Ecology's Construction Stormwater General Permit and must have a SWPPP developed and regular CESCL inspections. A guide to meeting the requirements of the General Permit can be found at www.ecy.wa.gov/pubs/9937.pdf

A year and a half ago Matt Strickland spoke to KRDO after he learned his girlfriend, Melissa Alexander, killed his one-year-old daughter Jocilyn while Strickland was out of state for military training.
"She meant so much to so many people. Now that she's gone, everybody's happiness turned into everybody's sorrow," Strickland said.
It's unclear if his daughters' death led to the shootout the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office said Strickland had with his mother and step father Thursday.
Authorities say all three were armed, got into an altercation and began shooting at each other. Dozens of bullet holes cover the front of the mobile home where the gunfight happened in Luther, Oklahoma.
Strickland's mother, Jill Sides, was found dead inside. The 60-year-old stepfather, Ottie Sides, was shot multiple times and was taken to a local hospital. He's expected to survive.
Police say Strickland was hit by bullets, but was not seriously injured because he was wearing a bullet proof vest.
Strickland is in the Oklahoma County jail on first-degree murder and shooting with the intent to kill charges.

NEW ORLEANS -- This time, Chris Culliver saw no need to apologize.
Despite surrendering a 56-yard touchdown pass as part of what one teammate called "a rough one," the controversial 49ers cornerback defended his play after the Baltimore Ravens' 34-31 victory Sunday in Super Bowl XLVII.
"I don't care if they was targeting me or not," he said. "They weren't getting open except for the deep players."
And also: "How many pass breakups did I have?"
And also: "They made their plays, we made ours. You can't stop everything."
His brief session in the locker room marked the second time this week that Culliver found himself answering uncomfortable questions. On Thursday, the second-year player from South Carolina spent his news conference apologizing for the anti-gay remarks he made during an interview with comedian Artie Lange two days earlier.
Many of the 49ers teammates who expressed their support him that day did so again after his performance Sunday.
"I know Cully. He's a competitor," linebacker Patrick Willis said. "He had a tough one today, but I'm still behind him."
Cornerback Carlos Rogers said, "I just told him, 'Keep your head up. Keep fighting.' If you play that position, you're going to give up a play."
The play that put Culliver back in the spotlight this time came on a third-and-10 with 1:58 to play in the first half. Jacoby Jones, the Ravens' speedy wideout, lined up on the right side and ran a double move against Culliver and began gliding open over the middle of the field.
Jones was 5 yards behind Culliver by the time quarterback Joe Flacco stepped up in the pocket and launched a deep pass that badly was underthrown. Jones turned and caught the ball falling backward at the 9.
Compounding the breakdown for the 49ers secondary was that Culliver ran past Jones, who bounced up before being touched down. Jones made a few more shifty moves, eluding free safety Dashon Goldson and Culliver one more time on his way to the end zone.
"That was just like a backyard game, catch-me-if-you can," Jones said. "That's like playing freeze tag."
That play gave the Ravens a 21-3 lead. It also marked just the second time this season that a 49ers opponent registered a passing play of more than 40 yards, a miscue so rare that it raised the question of whether the distractions of the week caught up with Culliver.
"No, (the week) didn't affect him," Rogers said. "He said what he said. He apologized. He moved on, and the team moved on."
The play that most upset Culliver was the play right before Jones' long TD. He wanted offensive pass interference called on the Ravens' Torrey Smith, whose hand touched Culliver's helmet about the time the ball arrived.
"Hey, they're the refs. They see what they want to see," Culliver said. "They can't really make or break a game, but you see it all the time."
Culliver did have two pass breakups and four tackles. He saw no reason to hang his head.
"It would be a positive outcome for us," he said, "but not every game is going to go our way."

Some messages on these forums claim to have success with getting PMS to work with apps on the iPad and iPhone, but I have not been able to reproduce any of those results.
So, in r752 I have added experimental support for the iPad and iPhone in order to debunk this myth or prove it right.
I have tried the apps "Air Video Free" and "8 Player Lite", but they don't work at all.
The free app "yxplayer2 lite" gives some encouraging results.
It consistenly discovers PMS and the app even recognizes some of the types. Movie playback is terrible at the moment, but that is because the current "ipad-iphone.conf" needs some serious optimizing.
Please help us improve support for these devices by sharing your experiences. All suggestions are welcome!

Founded in 1981To improve lives and seek cures for those affected by ichthyosis and related skin types.
Thank you for your interest in helping to raise awareness about ichthyosis and in raising funds to support FIRST's valuable programs and services. This page is designed to give you information about planning a successful grassroots fundraising event and media awareness campaign. This information is provided as a useful tool to help plan your event, but can be modified to suit your needs. There is also a wealth of information available from other resources, such as internet searches and community organizations.
During the review of this information, or anytime during the planning of your event, please contact the national office staff if you have any questions, ideas, or need guidance. FIRST's staff is readily available and very willing to help.
Finally, once you have made a decision about which event you will be hosting in your community, please be sure to review and complete the Authorization Forms and send a copy to the national office. Once we receive your information, we'll do everything we can to help make your event a success. We can work to publicize your event. We can help determine whether a state permit or license is necessary for your fundraiser, and help file any necessary paperwork.
Why Raise Funds?
While it is not unusual for those of us in the ichthyosis community to feel overwhelmed, FIRST is here to tell you that there is hope. Medical and scientific research holds the promise of better treatments and, one day, the possibility of a cure. One of the most important things that family and friends in the ichthyosis community can do is raise money to support research and the programs and services of FIRST.
So many aspects of this disease are beyond our control, but our ability to raise money is not one of them. There have been great advances in understanding the mechanisms of the ichthyoses, but more needs to be done if we are to find a cure. We all have a vested interest in making this happen. The sooner you begin to raise funds to support the Foundation's work, the greater likelihood your loved one(s) will benefit.
Whether you raise $5 or $5,000, the important thing is that you do something. It's not as difficult as you may think. People will want to help. The hardest part is getting started, and that's why this fundraising booklet has been assembled. We'll show you how to turn $18 in out-of-pocket expenses into $500 of donations (with only a few hours of your time).
Fun, fun and more fun! That is the bottom line for all grassroots fundraising events. Most people can quickly find reasons not to do something they don't want to do. If you want to succeed, you must choose an event in which you and your friends will enjoy being involved in. This will create the most energy, enthusiasm and fundraising dollars for the Foundation. Plus, it will be a more rewarding experience for you!
The three primary reasons for hosting a fundraiser/media event are:
Whenever possible try to choose an event that has the widest possible appeal. Planning an event that will appeal to family, friends, and members of your business community will generate greater awareness and make it easier to meet your fundraising goals. Your message will reach a wider audience and you are likely to have more fun in the process.
Enthusiasm is your best resource; without enthusiasm everything will become a chore. The more enthusiasm you provide, the easier and more enjoyable all tasks will become. Enthusiasm can be highly infectious.
When choosing a fundraising activity, remember that friends (volunteers) will perform better if they are enjoying what they are doing. If they feel what they are doing is successful and making a difference, it will help stimulate their motivation. Their motivation can be the key to your success. Most people will enjoy what they are doing if there is an element of fun and visible success.

Obama to Propose College Ratings System on Bus Tour
President Barack Obama on Thursday will announce proposals aimed at combating rising college costs by creating a new ratings system and eventually tying federal student aid to institutions' performance.
The president will call for rating colleges before the 2015 school year on measures such as affordability and outcomes, including graduation and transfer rates.
Once that system is in place, Mr. Obama will ask Congress to allocate financial aid based on those ratings by 2018. Students at top-performing colleges could receive larger federal grants and more affordable student loans. The plan is expected to spur pushback from some colleges.
Mr. Obama also will urge innovation in higher education, encouraging colleges to pursue ideas including three-year accelerated degrees and massive open online courses. The president will return to some familiar ideas as well, calling for an expansion of his pay-as-you-earn program that caps student loan payments at 10% of monthly income and re-upping his funding requests for the Race to the Top program, which is focused on state higher education reforms.
The president will lay out his plan on a two-day bus tour that will wind through New York and into Pennsylvania. His first stop Thursday will take him to the University at Buffalo, with a speech planned later in the day in Syracuse.
The president's college affordability plan is the latest in a wide-ranging series of proposals that the administration has dubbed "a better bargain for the middle class."
Mr. Obama has said that making college affordable is a "personal mission," as he's pledged to shake up the current system. Tuition increases have far outpaced inflation in recent years. Incomes of middle-class families have not kept pace with the rising cost of college, resulting in a jump in student borrowing.
On Tuesday, the Education Department released a report showing that in 2011-12, 57% of undergraduates used federal student aid to help pay for college, up from 47% in 2007-08.

A couple of years ago we bought our first SUV, mainly because it was half price and had enough car seats for all the grandchildren -- plus a built-in TV. No longer did I have to sing the Wiggles song, "Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy," or point out all the Big Trucks we passed to keep the kids amused. Looney Tunes would take care of them.
Then the economy deflated like a bad tire, the price of gas blew up faster than an air bag, and we were left holding the keys to a car that barely got 15 miles to the gallon. We could only afford to drive it to the gas station and back before having to refill the bottomless tank with what appeared to have become liquid gold.
It was time to do something about this money pit before we went bankrupt. While I hated to give up on our "luxury car" (heated seats!), I searched the Internet for a site that would tell me the value of my car so I could sell it on eBay, take the cash, and buy a small, money-saving vehicle that got at least 16 miles to the gallon.
After checking Blue Book and sending my car stats to AutoTrader.com, I got the results -- and they were better than I expected. They must have missed the part where it only got 15 miles to the gallon, but I didn't have the heart to tell them. Now we wouldn't have to pay to have the car towed away. They would pay us -- almost enough to buy a new Smart Car. It was a start.
My husband and I had very different ideas about what kind of car we'd buy next. I had my heart set on an adorable yellow Mini Cooper Countryman at the local car lot, but after a test drive around the block, my husband deemed the car too small for our purposes -- hauling around grandkids, carrying suitcases, packing groceries and fitting in garage sale finds. He had his eye on the Volt, the all-electric car that he said would be "the car of the future."
"You never have to go to the gas station!" he said. "Just plug it in and take off down the road ..." At least for a few miles until you have find an outlet and recharge the battery again. And what about the electric bill? Our bill is already too high. No doubt we'd double it by plugging in a whole car every night.
So we compromised and decided to check out a car that was somewhere in between -- the Prius. We have friends who own a Prius, and they love it: "Drives like a dream. Rarely have to go to the pump. Plenty of room." Yadda, yadda, yadda.
OK, so we'd take a look at this miracle car -- but just a look. It wasn't like we had to buy something immediately. That old SUV would surely last until the final drop of gas in the world had been consumed, right? Besides, we're not impulse buyers. We like to shop around, sleep on it and not make any snap decisions.
Yeah, well, they don't call them car salesmen for nothing ....
