Loved the "digression"! Those robes are so fun! I tried to make BYU jammies for the kids. Wasn't as successful as I'd hoped…they were all a size too small, so we passed them down the line and the oldest still doesn't have his pair yet!! Maybe next year?
MaryJanuary 4, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Love the robes!When my girls were little they received mom-made Disney princess dresses for Christmas. So much fun!!!
JenniferJanuary 4, 2012 at 6:10 pm

Love the robes! Thanks so much for commenting on my post about the plus quilt I made for my son. You made my day! 🙂

Hee hee, I particularly love the pancakes!

My husband's been a die hard star wars fan since he saw the movie when he was 11! Our son's not a fan though…. I should totally make one of those robes for Jeff (my hubby) for halloween next year LOL!! Love the idea to make it out of fleece!!

Love the robes! My oldest son has been asking for one, so thank you very much for sharing the link!
JessJanuary 4, 2012 at 6:38 pm
I just showed your jedi robes to my 7 year old Star Wars obsessed son – they are now very high on my to sew list. In his words totally awesome!
Dana - Old Red Barn Co.January 4, 2012 at 7:00 pm
They are cute but I still think a quilted little number like we talked about at sewing summit is the ticket!
Betty LouJanuary 4, 2012 at 7:34 pm
I think you made two little Jedis very happy with their new robes.
LaurelJanuary 4, 2012 at 8:05 pm
I love getting side-tracked by Star Wars! Continue! :)

Love the robes — and we have those pancake molds but I can never get the pancakes to release from them! Need more practice, I must. 😉

Love that stripe… I have a bunch of it in a few colors and it truly goes with EVERYTHING! Also, it's good to have outside sewing projects, it makes us fabric nerds seem more well rounded 😉
LanaJanuary 4, 2012 at 11:19 pm
lol! I love all the posts! But I have to say that fabric looks yummy!

Your robes are just too cute Amy!! What fun having a Star Wars Christmas! It seems like yesterday we were doing the very same thing (minus the awesome Jedi robes). :o) Happy New Year. :o)
goletagirlwendyJanuary 5, 2012 at 7:00 am
Love the Jedi robes. I have 2 boys also and it was a Star Wars Christmas too. It is fun to see them dress up and act out seens and make up their adventures.
MellieWoJanuary 5, 2012 at 7:25 am
Very cute! I don't need the force to tell me I'll probably be attempting this for my son in about 3 years. And well, I was Princess Leia for Halloween once (white robe and buns) 🙂
Lucy @ Charm About YouJanuary 5, 2012 at 8:22 am
and also with you!! The robes turned out brilliantly!! I actually can't wait until my son is old enough for Star Wars, he's seen a bit but Yoda freaked him out!!!
M-RJanuary 5, 2012 at 8:34 am
Oh man, those are awesome! My kids would LOVE them. I will definitely be checking out that tutorial as I see a few of those Jedi robes in our future. Thanks very much for sharing them.
EllenJanuary 5, 2012 at 3:12 pm
The robes are very cool! My nephew asked me to knit him one & its taking FOREVER. But he's worth it!
LeslieJanuary 5, 2012 at 5:00 pm
we did Star Wars for New Years….my kids had never seen it before. love the jedi robes!
KatieQJanuary 5, 2012 at 7:06 pm
I love it. My husband's aunt bought my daughter (23) the Star War's cookie cutter set last Christmas. She bought my son (26) a Darth Vadar pancake turner.
I wish I'd thought of making Jedi robes when my kids were little, but there wasn't polar fleece in those days.
DonaJanuary 5, 2012 at 7:51 pm
So cute! And my husband's cousin is really Princess Leah! And his aunt is Debbie Reynolds!
PamJanuary 5, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Love them! Looks like your boys do too.
RobinJanuary 6, 2012 at 5:58 am
Great robes! The homemade snuggies that I made for my kids for Christmas were a big hit and so quick to put together. I'll have to tell my son to put his on backwards and turn it into a Jedi robe!
The Cozy PumpkinJanuary 6, 2012 at 1:19 pm
"I'm still pretty good at free-handing Alderaan, Deathstar, and Moon of Endor pancakes on my own."

LOL!!! I almost woke my kids up from their naps and had to stifle my laughing! I'm hoping my kids love Star Wars as much as I do and I have a few jedi robes in my future. :)

ElizabethJanuary 7, 2012 at 10:31 am
You are the coolest mom, ever! Wow! Such a fun collection of Christmas gifts.

Also, I'm amazed that you free-hand pancakes of any kind. Go you!

MARIETTA - The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has granted companies a one-month extension to submit information about hazardous chemicals used and stored at oil and gas drilling locations to local emergency personnel.
On Sept. 11, the OEPA issued a letter saying oil and gas well owners and operators had to file documentation outlining what hazardous materials were on site above certain thresholds with the agency's State Emergency Response Commission, county local emergency planning commissions and fire departments who cover the area.
Ohio law had previously allowed this information to be filed along with state information for oil and gas companies, but the U.S. EPA recently ruled the requirements of the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act had to be met separately.
The reports are standard requirements for other industries handling hazardous materials, so first responders can know what they might be dealing with should an emergency arise at a site. The filing deadline for an annual report was March 1, 2013, but because oil and gas wells were notified after that date, they were given until Nov. 15.
Chris Abbruzzese, deputy director for communications with the Ohio EPA, said the agency has been working with the Ohio Oil and Gas Association to present seminars on meeting the requirements. However, it has become apparent that some entities need additional time.
"The SERC recognizes that facilities are diligently working to compile the information needed to comply with EPCRA and is providing an extension, asking companies to submit their reports no later than Dec. 15, 2013," he said.
Fact Box
At A Glance
* Under the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), well owners and operators must provide written notice to Ohio's State Emergency Response Commission, local emergency planning commissions and local fire departments within 90 days of receiving hazardous chemicals that are maintained on-site in a volume of more than 10,000 pounds.
* For materials deemed extremely hazardous substances, the reporting threshold can range from one to 500 pounds, depending on the substance, and it must be reported within 60 days.
* The Ohio EPA notified operators in September that they had to file in this manner instead of under another state system as was previously done.
* They have until Dec. 15 to file reports that otherwise would have been required by March 1.
* Failure to comply could result in civil penalties of as much as $32,500 a day from the U.S. EPA.
* Some chemicals can still be exempted as trade secrets, resulting in state and local authorities receiving forms in which specific chemical information is replaced with its generic class or category. More specific information would be available to health care providers for prevention and treatment activities.

Colorado-based PDC Energy Inc., which has drilled two wells in Washington County and has three more permitted, fully intends to comply with the rules, said Michael Edwards, senior director of investor relations for the company.
"In our normal course of business, our operations in Colorado and West Virginia, I think there are very similar regulations," he said.
In Monroe County, 35 wells have been drilled or are being drilled into the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, another eight are producing and 30 more have been permitted, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. County emergency management agency director and LEPC coordinator Phillip Keevert said some companies have already submitted their information and others have advised him they're working on it.
"They're reporting like they're supposed to," Keevert said. "The companies were just socked with the deadline."
Even before the requirement was made official, officials said the companies have been working with first responders to plan for potential emergencies.
"They've talked to us. We've had training and so forth," said Sardis Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ralph Hall. "We need to work with them ... so we know what to expect and what to do."
Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department Chief Aaron Reed said there are multiple well sites in his department's coverage area, including one in Washington County's Aurelius Township. That one is being drilled by Marietta-based Triad Hunter, which has submitted the appropriate paperwork to the department.
"Traditionally, most of those companies, especially the bigger ones, are really good about it," Reed said. "That's their bread and butter. They have to conform to the EPA laws, or they pull the plug on them."
Last year, Triad brought in Wild Well Control, a company that deals with blowouts and other emergencies at oil rigs, to work with first responders. Wild Well would actually be responsible for controlling such an emergency situation, but would work closely with first responders, said Rocky Roberts, vice president of Appalachian Operations for Triad Hunter.
"It's important to have communication with the first responders," he said. "It's a way to protect themselves and the community around them."
Triad invited Caldwell firefighters to tour the rig. The company also uses a scale model to familiarize first responders with the layout
"They already know the composition of the drilling rig, what people would be where and what chemicals would be stored there," Roberts said.
Caldwell firefighters have also toured well pads operated by CONSOL Energy.
In Noble County, ODNR records show that as of Oct. 26, there were nine producing wells, 40 drilled or being drilled and 20 permitted.
The activity in Noble and Monroe counties is much greater than what Washington County has seen so far. ODNR lists just two drilled wells, one in Adams Township and one in Waterford Township. Triad Hunter's well has also been drilled, Roberts said, although it and six others were still listed as permitted as of Oct. 26.
Jeff Lauer, director of the Washington County Emergency Management Agency, said Triad has been "going above requirements" when working with local officials. For example, the company let Lauer know when there might be some flaring, or burning off of excess gas, a standard safety precaution on such operations.
"So if somebody calls 911 ... we already know what's going on," he said.
Citizens can request copies of the reports through their local emergency planning commission. There are protections granted for chemicals considered trade secrets; in those cases, identifying information for the chemical is replaced with general class or category information.
However, Abbruzzese noted that even information that can be legally withheld must be disclosed to health care professionals "who need the information for prevention and treatment activities."
One of the primary hazardous materials on the large drilling sites is diesel fuel, Keevert said. Reed said there usually aren't a lot of others "unless it's right at fracking time."
Triad Hunter's document on file with Washington County lists diesel and barite, a substance that, according to the U.S. EPA website, is used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids, and can cause gastrointestinal disturbances and muscular weakness with acute exposure to amounts of more than 2 milligrams per liter.
Roberts said barite is not on-site all the time. It's stored in bulk in closed containers, and when it's added to drilling fluid, the materials contained within multiple casings to prevent them from coming into contact with surface water, he said.

Yarn Profile: Ellen's 1/2-Pint Farm Hand-Dyed Mohair
First Impressions
You may know Ellen from her profile in Candace Eisner Strick's Sweaters from New England Sheep Farms. From her rural Vermont farm, she hand-paints all her yarns in exquisite color combinations. She makes them available in small "sampler" skeins and massive project-sized bundles that could easily double as a cat.
Knitting Up
If you knit with slightly exaggerated movements, you'll produce cleaner stitches and significantly lower your chances of any snagging.
Having sidestepped those snags, I had no difficulties with this yarn. It knit up quickly and easily, producing a fuzzy, lightweight fabric.
Blocking / Washing
I first washed the swatches in lukewarm water, with no bleeding whatsoever. I then subjected them to hotter water and more vigorous agitation. The color stayed true, and the swatches emerged fine.
When I blotted the swatches in towels, they left no color there either. They blocked back to shape and the gauge stayed true. Success!
Only after undue thrashing did the swatches begin to flatten and look tired.
This yarn wears relatively well against the skin, with only a small amount of brushed-mohair brassiness.
The fuzz conceals individual stitches, letting your eye focus instead on the changing colors. In direct sunlight, the colors are punctuated by the natural sheen of mohair fibers.
With Ellen's yarns, you know that each color was selected and applied with a careful eye for the finished result. Even her single-color skeins (available at festivals but not on her Web site) have slight color variations to add subtlety and depth to the finished garment.
If you want to tone down the colors, you can simply pair her mohair with one strand of a foundation color, either knitting two strands together or alternating every few rows. But if you want something cheerful and highly original, pick one colorway and start knitting.
Spinners beware: Ellen also sells hand-painted fibers!

As a rapidly recovering job market attracts armies of young tech workers, Santa Clara County is now the fastest-growing county in California, new figures from the state Department of Finance show.
Most of the rest of the Bay Area also recorded strong population growth last year as the Golden State's population grew by almost 300,000 to nearly 38 million people. Four of the state's five most rapidly growing counties and several of its fastest-growing cities were in the region, according to the report released Wednesday.
"Who wouldn't want to live in the Bay Area now? Not only is there a great quality of life, but the job growth has been pretty outstanding," said Jim Wunderman, the Bay Area Council's president and CEO.
Wunderman, whose organization is made up of the region's 275 biggest employers, said the Bay Area is more than ever "seen as the place you have to be in order to be part of the innovation economy."
In Santa Clara County, the heart of Silicon Valley, the population grew 1.6 percent in 2012, up from 0.7 percent in 2011 and 1.1 percent in 2010, while San Francisco, Alameda and San Mateo counties all had growth rates exceeding 1 percent.
Contra Costa County grew by 0.8 percent -- the same as the state overall.
Santa Clarita in Los Angeles County was California's fastest-growing city, largely because it annexed surrounding areas. Dublin in Alameda County ranked second with 6.8 percent growth.
Highly affluent Los Altos Hills in Santa Clara County ranked ninth with 3.1 percent growth; Gilroy in the southern part of county ranked 10th with 2.9 percent growth.
Doug Kuczynski, a state Department of Finance research specialist, said the Bay Area's population gain was driven partly by a continuing shift to apartments and condos and away from single-family homes. "In San Jose, 89 percent of new housing that went in was multifamily,'' he said.
Hing Wong, senior regional planner for the Association of Bay Area Governments, said that as the Silicon Valley job market picked up steam over the past couple of years, many of those young tech workers chose to live in an urban environment rather than commute from the suburbs. "We've seen that trend happening over the past decades,'' Wong said. "They want more opportunities to socialize."
But Wunderman warned that the trend could prove problematic in the long run. As the economy and housing market keep improving, he said, all those young tech workers will get older and start looking to settle down in bigger homes.
"Suddenly we're going to have a lot more people looking to buy than we'll have single-family homes on the market, and historically that's created a housing bubble -- and here we go again," he said, adding that it's now time to start building more single-family homes.
"We need to get to work here," Wunderman said.
Wednesday's population report also showed San Jose still hasn't reached another milestone: 1 million residents.
The city had swelled with pride in 2009 when the state estimated it was the first West Coast city north of Los Angeles to break the million mark. "Size does matter," Mayor Chuck Reed crowed at the time. But the 2010 U.S. Census eventually deflated San Jose's ego when it announced that the city's population was actually 945,942.
Now the city's population is estimated at 984,299 as of Jan. 1. That's still short of bragging rights. But, Kuczynski noted, San Jose, at 1.5 percent, did have the largest growth percentage of California's top 10 cities.
The state in January estimated that the Bay Area overall will add 1.8 million new residents by 2060, led by Contra Costa County with a projected gain of about 533,000 and Santa Clara County with a projected increase of 412,000.
California's Hispanic population is expected to pull even with its white population by the middle of this year, at 39 percent each. By early next year, Hispanics will surpass whites in population. And by 2060, the state is projected to be 48 percent Hispanic, 30 percent white, 13 percent Asian and 4 percent black.

Guess What Naomi Campbell Eats for 10 Days Before a Runway Show ...
The ageless supermodel has revealed her get-catwalk-ready regimen (and it ain't filling)
It's amazing, really, when you think about how long they've been at it and how great they (both) still look. Especially when you consider what they've put their bodies through -- both Campbell and Moss have admitted to drug use in the past and staying lingerie-ready for all these years has to have taken its toll.
READ: Are Body Cleansing Diets Worth Starving For?
All you have to do is take into consideration how Campbell says she prepped for an Atelier Versace show -- her first foray onto the runway in 14 years -- over the summer to realize what these runway models put themselves through.
Although she's continued to work in print and on TV, in a recent interview with Net-a-Porter, the 48 year-old, opened up about what it was like to get back in the "live" game.
She may keep her figure flawless with Pilates ("I don't want to build muscle, just to tone") and indulge in the occasional treat ("I'm not extreme about what I eat -- I let chocolate and crisps come in at times. You have to allow the little things that make you happy," but when it came to prepping for the Versace show, things got extreme.
"For 10 days prior, I just drank juice -- carrot, ginger, pineapple -- to cleanse."
Wow. Speaking as someone who's done her fair share of 3 and 5-day juice cleanses, I'm amazed that she could even stand up, let alone walk, after ten (10!) days of not eating. Then again, I'm not a supermodel. But, still.
Judging by the crowd's reaction to the show, her, what?, sacrifice?, was "worth" it. The crowd and the media went nuts -- she'd knocked it out of the park yet again.
"It was emotional for me to do the show after 14 years," she says. "I knew about it for months and couldn't tell anyone. When I did my fitting in those amazing clothes, it was just overwhelming."
Ok, sure, but would it really have been that different if you'd eaten, say, a salad or 20 in the days leading up to it?
Do you think it's crazy for models to put themselves through things like this or do they have a "responsibility" to earn their money by looking their very best no matter what?

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
Canada, 2012, 75 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Documentary, Medical/Health
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English, Icelandic English Subtitles
DIRECTOR: Jonah Bekhor, Zach Math
Producer: Jonah Bekhor, Zach MathEditor: Andrew Dickler, Tyler HubbyCinematographer: Viggo Knudsen, Sean Stiegemeier
In 1974, Icelandic scholar Siggi Hjartarson received a bull penis as a gag; it inspired him to erect the Icelandic Phallological Museum. For almost four decades Siggi's collection has grown impressively, housing hamster hard-ons to sperm-whale wieners. Just one mammalian acquisition eluded him: a human specimen.
Icelandic folklore tells of a woman who had grounds for divorce from her three-inch-long husband, setting the national standard to at least five inches, and Siggi maintained that his exhibit would uphold that requirement. He was also obliged by law to have full legal documents from any potential donors. While he waited for his prize, failing health provided a sense of urgency for him to complete his lifelong dream. Two cocksure contestants rose up to the challenge. Nonagenarian Pall Arason was a celebrated adventurer famous for first bringing tourism to Iceland's highlands—and for having a little black book with over 300 names. Despite his multiple conquests, questions arose as to the senior fitting the five-inch profile. Across the Atlantic, uber-patriotic Tom Mitchell is determined to beat Arason, feeling his lengthy Yank legacy has more to offer. Mitchell preps his piece with a stars-and-stripes tattoo, convinced it will enhance the display and represent his nation fittingly. Soon after, his thirst for fame drives him to offer his up jewels before he dies so he can see them acknowledged by the world as the finest in history.
With beautiful Icelandic locales and plenty of full-frontal footage, Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math's documentary is sure to arouse discussion.

About the Book
Oscar nominee and Emmy Award–winning actress Shohreh Aghdashloo shares her remarkable personal journey—from a childhood in the Shah's Iran to the red carpets of Hollywood—in The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines, a dazzling memoir of family, faith, and hope.
When Shohreh Aghdashloo was growing up in Teheran, stardom was a distant dream, especially since her parents had more practical plans for their daughter…
When revolution swept Iran in 1978, the Ayatollah Khomeini's religious regime brought stifling restrictions on women and art. Shohreh Aghdashloo seized the moment and boldly left her husband for Europe and eventually, America, a vastly different culture.
Shohreh Aghdashloo writes poignantly about her struggles as an outsider in a new culture—as a woman, a Muslim, and a Persian—adapting to a new land and a new language, and shares behind-the-scenes stories about what it's really like to be an actress in Hollywood.
The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines includes original color photographs from the author.
Oscar nominee and Emmy Award–winning actress Shohreh Aghdashloo shares her remarkable personal journey—from a childhood in the Shah's Iran to the red carpets of Hollywood—in this dazzling memoir of family, faith, revolution, and hope.
Enchanted by the movies she watched while growing up in affluent Tehran in the 1950s and '60s, Shohreh Aghdashloo dreamed of becoming an actress despite her parents' more practical plans. When she fell in love and married her husband, Aydin, a painter twelve years her senior, she made him promise he'd allow her to follow her passion.
The first years of her marriage were magical. As Shohreh began to build a promising career, Aydin worked at the royal offices as an art director while exhibiting his paintings in Tehran. But in 1979 revolution swept Iran, toppling the Shah and installing an Islamic republic under the Ayatollah Khomeini. Alarmed by the stifling new restrictions on women and art, Shohreh made the bold and dangerous decision to escape the new regime and her home country. Leaving her family and the man she loved behind, she fled in a covert journey to Europe and eventually to Los Angeles.
In this moving, deeply personal memoir, Shohreh shares her story: it is a tale of privilege and affluence, pain and prejudice, tenacity and success. She writes poignantly about her struggles as an outsider in a for-eign culture—as a woman, a Muslim, and an Iranian—adapting to a new land and a new language. She shares behind-the-scenes stories about what it's really like to be a Hollywood actress—including being snubbed by two of Tinseltown's biggest names on Oscar night.
Lyrical and atmospheric, The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines is a powerful story of ambition, art, politics, terror, and courage—of an extraordinary woman determined to live her dreams.

Thomas Cromwell's Rules for Living (WSJ Book Club)
Today at 1 p.m., the Wall Street Journal's Book Club will have a live video discussion with our book club host Elizabeth Gilbert about Hilary Mantel's Tudor drama "Wolf Hall." Join us to find out why Ms. Gilbert calls "Wolf Hall" the "best book of the century" and why she thinks the novel's protagonist, Thomas Cromwell, resembles Walter White of "Breaking Bad."
Join us for a live video chat with Elizabeth Gilbert on 'Wolf Hall' on Feb. 20 at 1 p.m.
While she was re-reading "Wolf Hall" for the fourth or fifth time, Ms. Gilbert compiled a list of quotes from the book that reveal Cromwell's pragmatic and often cynical approach to life and politics. Read them below, and apply to your life as needed.
Thomas Cromwell's Rules for Living
By Elizabeth Gilbert
"Arrange your face."
"Choose your prince."
"Only give advice to those who are likely to take it."
"Back off and you will be chased. Advance, and the other man may falter."
"Insight cannot be taken back. You cannot return to the moment you were in before you knew."
"Some debts should never be tallied."
"If they're going to hang me, I want a better reason."
"Beneath every history, another history."
"You can never advance your own pedigree."
"Try always to find out what people wear under their clothes."
"We don't have to invite pain in; It's waiting for us, sooner rather than later."
"The bill will come, by and by."
"You don't go to bed without the books balanced."
"Gambling is not a vice if you can afford it."
"Tomorrow is another battle; tomorrow is another world."
"Unfortunately, a man cannot have two fronts" (On why you always need someone to watch your back.)
And most importantly: "Never let anyone know how much you understand."

His thesis included a proof of Godel's completeness theorem for the predicate calculus which has since become the standard proof in almost every presentation of mathematical logic. In addition Professor Henkin developed the theory of cylindrification algebras which is an algebraic formulation of the theory of quantifiers. His principal work has been in the area of foundation and mathematical logic in which he has published many papers and is a recognized authority. He was awarded the Chauvenet Prize in 1964 for his paper "Are Logic and Mathematics Identical?" published in Science, 1962 (vol. 138).
Professor Henkin was Fine Instructor and Jewett Fellow at Princeton from 1947 to 1959, having spent four previous years as a mathematician in industry.

A front loader works to remove sand and debris as night falls on the Rockaway neighborhood in Queens, N.Y., Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012, in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. / AP Photo/Craig Ruttle
HICKSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) -- While most utilities have restored electricity to nearly all their customers, the Long Island Power Authority still has thousands of customers in the dark.
The company says the storm was worse than anyone could have imagined. But some say the government-run utility should have seen it coming. It was recently criticized in a withering state report.
LIPA has restored power to more than 1.1 million homes and offices. About 19,000 customers were still waiting for the lights to come back early Tuesday.
The utility says there also are some along Long Island's south shore and Rockaway Peninsula that had water damage to electrical panels and wiring, so their service can't be restored without an inspection and possibly repairs.

As icy conditions invade the Tri-state tonight, school administrators will set their alarm clocks for an early-morning wake-up call.
Kenton County school administrators tell WLWT that staff will hit the roads at 3:30 a.m. and start gauging road conditions.
Kenton County Assistant Superintendent Gerald Turner says ice always presents the toughest decision for administrators.
Turner said that even if the roads are clear, a school delay can sometimes be triggered because crews have trouble getting ice cleared off of all the buses.
As a precaution, Kenton County schools are already putting down salt in parking lots and sidewalks.

SAN JOSE -- Facing a growing homeless population that is among the highest in the United States, San Jose is ready to try a new strategy to get people off the streets: pay to put some of them up in local hotels and motels, potentially for years.
City Council members on Monday will discuss the proposal -- a first for San Jose -- that has been gaining steam at City Hall for the past year as housing prices continue to climb and landlords become pickier about renters. The problem has gotten so bad that about 100 homeless people roaming San Jose streets have publicly funded vouchers for subsidized housing but cannot find a place that will accept them.
Unlike the revolving-door atmosphere of shelters, the latest plan would give homeless people a room for up to five years while a nonprofit would provide services such as job hunting and permanent home searches.
"It's just a tough place to live because of how expensive it is," said Leslye Corsiglia, the city's housing director, who called it an opportunity for homeless people "to get themselves settled and together so they can move into other housing."
While the exact number of people who would receive rooms is dependent on available funding and willing motel and hotel owners, only a fraction of the city's 4,770 homeless would be helped. Officials haven't decided whether the chronically or the newly homeless would get priority.
The city figures it would cost $1 million a year to house 60 people, including initial costs to spruce up the rooms. San Jose has $3 million to spend on homeless services this year, while Santa Clara County, which would help fund the program, has more than $8 million available.
Meanwhile, many of the city's rooms are located at luxury hotels or economy chains that aren't interested in the deal.
For some down-on-their-luck motel owners, however, the proposal would result in welcome business. They would lease as much as 49 percent of their rooms to a yet-to-be-determined nonprofit that would rent the rooms to homeless people who would pay using federal Section 8 housing vouchers or city "coupons."
"I love this idea, I have no objection to that at all," said Sanjay Patel, who owns the 40-room City Center Motel on the southern edge of downtown and has been struggling to find customers. "I'd rather have full than empty."
Patel said he couldn't get anyone to stay there at $80 to $90 a night. So he's been booking rooms to long-term guests -- mostly San Jose State students and cooks at nearby restaurants -- who pay a discounted rate of $25 per day. The homeless also likely would pay a lower rate, estimated to be about $40 a day, but the money at least would provide long-term stability for motel owners.
San Jose's homeless population has grown 16 percent in the past year, and about three-fourths of those residents spend most nights sleeping outside, a biannual homeless count last year concluded. Three people died of exposure in the city during a December cold snap.
A recent federal report found Santa Clara County's homeless population, which totals 7,631, was fifth in the nation behind only New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego.
At the same time, the fair market rent for a San Jose studio apartment is $1,079 a month, among the highest in the nation, while a full-time minimum wage job pays $1,600 a month before taxes. Two-thirds of San Jose's homeless said in a recent survey that their biggest barrier to housing was the high rents.
A motel room at a discounted nightly rate wouldn't be inexpensive -- perhaps more than $1,000 a month -- but with a nonprofit acting as the landlord, it would ensure that homeless who receive rent subsidies aren't turned away. Voucher recipients must pay as much as 35 percent of their income on rent, while the subsidy covers the rest -- typically up to about $850 for single-occupancy units.
"It's not going to completely solve the housing crisis, but it's important to do all of these things because they all add up," said Jenny Niklaus, CEO of EHC LifeBuilders, one of the county's largest homeless shelters and services providers. She is particularly encouraged because the long-term housing security "stabilizes people so they can address the other things in their lives."
San Jose wouldn't be the first city to move the homeless into long-term housing. In San Francisco, the city oversees a similar program in which homeless people can live in single-room occupancy hotels.
The full City Council could pass the legislation this summer, and the program could start soon after. First, council members on the Community and Economic Development Committee appear primed to give the plan a thumbs-up Monday.
"We're a caring community," said Councilwoman Rose Herrera, who heads the committee and supports the plan. "This gives us some immediate ability to put people into housing. We can help them get back to where they should be."

PIEDMONT -- The Piedmont community is mourning the loss of beloved civic volunteer William "Bill" Drum, who passed away on Jan. 11 at age 73.
A celebration of his life is scheduled at 2 p.m. Thursday at Piedmont Community Church, 400 Highland Ave., Piedmont. Donations are suggested to Piedmont Education Foundation or a favorite charity.
Drum's involvement in Piedmont was far reaching, from his being a founding member of the Citizens' Oversight Committee and representative on the Bond Steering Committee for the schools, to helping with the difficult transition for the Piedmont Swim Club, to working every year on the annual Harvest Festival.
"Bill exemplifies the best of Piedmont's spirit of volunteerism," Vice Mayor Margaret Fujioka said. "From the Piedmont pool to the Harvest Festival, to many other school and civic contributions, Bill distinguished himself as a statesman with a heart of gold. He will be greatly missed."
Former Piedmont Swim Club President Tim Rood said of Drum, "He was a tireless and prolific volunteer. I worked with Bill for years on the pool board and more recently through Piedmont Connect and the current school parcel tax campaign."
Drum often spoke at City Council meetings, where his comments were always positive and informative, whether it was encouraging residents to grow vegetables for the Harvest Festival, to promoting conservation.
He graduated in 1962 from Stanford University with a bachelor's in biological sciences. He obtained a master's degree in public health in 1969 from UC Berkeley.
He was tutoring students at Piedmont Avenue Elementary School in Oakland since 2009 when he passed away. He was a mentor to backyard gardeners in West Oakland through City Slicker Farms since 2007 and co-founder/chairman of the Harvest Festival for 13 years. He was also working as a consultant for Ridge Hospital Resources at the time of his death, as well as tutoring through Experience Corps of the San Francisco Bay Area.
He was a project manager for UCSF Medical Center from 2003 to 2005.
Councilman Garrett Keating recalled two fond memories of interaction with Drum.
Keating was at the AAA office in December renewing family passports, when he ran into Drum and his wife who were booking a trip to the Rose Bowl.
"Stanford had just clinched the day before. He got to see (his alma mater) win," Keating said.
Keating would also see Drum vigorously walking around town.
"One day he said he had walked from Lake Merritt to Montclair, about eight miles. He walked in a day the miles I run in a week. I was hoping to tap Bill for his thoughts about the bike-pedestrian plan we will develop in the next year," Keating said.
"He was a man of few words but a very neat guy."
School district officials were moved and saddened as well. Drum was a key volunteer in school affairs.
"Bill was more than a man who rendered uncompromising service to his community," Superintendent Connie Hubbard said. "He will forever remain a man of integrity, of irrepressible humor. He is among the finest human beings I have ever had the privilege (to know). To know Bill Drum is to understand the adage of how age never touches a loving heart; and Bill's was as loving and as great as many of us will ever know."
He is survived by his wife, Joan; sister, Lynn Drum of Sacramento; two daughters, Fredericka Seale Drum and Francesca Seale Drum; and four grandchildren.

ALBANY -- A team of Albany Middle School students will compete this weekend in the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science's National Science Bowl. The winner of the regional competition will win a trip to Washington, D.C., for the national competition in late April.
Albany Middle School is one of 20 teams competing Saturday at Las Positas College in Livermore. The event is also hosted by Sandia National Laboratories.
"A lot of scientists that work at Sandia labs moderate the games," team member Andrew Liu said. "It'll be pretty cool."
Liu, an eighth-grader at Albany Middle School, was a member of the school's team last year. Eighth-grader Jenny Li is also returning from last year's team.
This year, they'll be joined by fellow eighth-graders Benson Yi, Lin Zhu and Andrew Zhang.
"We tied for ninth, so we hope to improve on that this year," Liu said.
It has been a long process preparing for the competition, according to Liu.
"In October, we had a weeklong tryout for the team," he said. "Everybody who made the first cut practiced every day during winter break from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock. Last week, we had the final cut. This whole week, we had practice from 9-6. The last couple of weeks, we had practice after school."
Liu said he has gotten more interested in science as he has gotten older, especially in chemistry. He said he doesn't know whether he wants to pursue a career in science.
The competition works like a game show, except with smarter questions. Students buzz in with their answers. Teams face off against each other in a round robin. The top two teams from each division advance to a double-elimination round.
The subjects will be math, earth science, space science, biology, chemistry, physics and energy.
According to the Department of Energy, more than 225,000 students have competed in the Science Bowl since its inception 22 years ago. About 14,000 students are expected to compete this year.
The national competition is scheduled April 25-29.

About the Book
I Am Not Myself These Days follows a glittering journey through Manhattan's dark underbelly -- a shocking and surreal world where alter egos reign and subsist (barely) on dark wit and chemicals...a tragic romantic comedy where one begins by rooting for the survival of the relationship and ends by hoping someone simply survives. Kilmer-Purcell is a terrifically gifted new literary voice who straddles the divide between absurdity and normalcy, and stitches them together with surprising humor and lonely poignancy. As Booklist raved "as tart and funny as a Noel Coward play, for Kilmer-Purcell is especially good at dialogue, and, as in Coward's best plays, under the comedy lies the sad truth that even at our best, we are all weak, fallible fools. Again and again in this rich, adventure-filled book, Kilmer-Purcell illustrates the truth of Blake's proverb, 'The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.'"

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Union leaders and management officials for Northern California-based Raley's were back at the bargaining table Saturday in a last-ditch effort to avoid what would be the first strike in the chain's 77-year history.
Officials on both sides declined to release any details of Saturday's talks, except to say bargaining resumed -- with the help of a federal mediator -- at 9:30 a.m.
If labor leaders and the chain's managers don't reach an agreement by midnight, union workers at the grocer's 128 stores in Northern California and Nevada could walk off the job.
Both sides are at odds over a proposed wage freeze, elimination of premium pay for Sunday shifts and health care benefits.
Raley's management had threatened to impose a contract with its terms on Thursday, but when a federal mediator became involved in the talks, the company said it would hold off until midnight Saturday.
Raley's says it needs to cut costs in the face of a weak economy and competition from nonunionized companies that also sell groceries, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
But union officials say the chain has not agreed to a full audit of its finances, failing to make the case for the concessions
West Sacramento-based Raley's is a privately-owned company that employs 13,000 people at 115 stores in California and 13 in Nevada operating under the Raley's name, as well as Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods, Food Source and Aisle 1 Fuel Stations, according to its website.
The United Food Commercial Workers says it represents 7,400 of the chain's employees.

A judge's restraining order preventing Cincinnati from completing an agreement to lease its parking garages, lots and meters has been extended.
Judge Ralph Winkler extended the order another 14 days on Wednesday, the day it was due to expire.
Opponents of the plan said the city called the lease deal an emergency ordinance in an attempt to circumvent a planned referendum by opponents. Attorneys said the city did not follow a state law allowing an ordinance to be exempt from referendum.
But attorneys for the city said a change to the city charter in 1994 allows for a simple majority to create an emergency ordinance that would be referendum-proof.
Winkler had said last week that he would rule on the restraining order sometime this week.

It was one of the deadliest wrecks in years in Augusta.
In January, four people died in a wreck on Bobby Jones Expressway blamed on racing.
The Lewis family was on the way from their hometown of Midville to Augusta when a truck flipped on top of their car, killing two people inside.
Two others died in the pickup.
News 12's Diane Cho sat down with one of the women who miraculously survived that accident to see how the family is doing.
Looking at the wreckage, it's hard to tell anyone could make it out of that car alive.
But Nancy Lewis did.
She was hurt so badly it took her almost two weeks to realize that her 12-year-old daughter and her sister Gloria were both dead.
"Sometimes when I ride down the road I get kind of, you know, scared," she says.
All because of what happened on January 29th, when officers say Lawrence James Skinner was racing Christopher Bush down Bobby Jones Expressway.
Officers say that made Skinner lose control of his truck and flip on top of the Lewis' Kia.
"The last thing I remember was us leaving here towards Augusta then I don't remember anything else," Nancy says.
The accident left her with a broken leg and a shattered pelvis, and, on top of it all, pain and frustration as she struggles to do one of the most unconscious acts the human body performs.
"I try to put the walker aside and walk on my own," Nancy says.
Her sister Joyce remains at MCG.
Initially it was believed that Joyce would be paralyzed for the rest of her life, but she has now taken a turn for the better.
"At one point it wasn't looking good, it's going to be a slow process, but she'll come around," Nancy says.
Despite it all, Nancy says she has no feelings of animosity towards the only man who was able to walk away from the accident, who also may be partly to blame for it.
"At first I did but then I thought about it, and no. No," Nancy says.
And she credits her religion with her ability to forgive him.
"You just got to forgive people because I want God to forgive me."
Nancy has set her own goal to be off the walker in 3 months.
Doctors will only say that she's making good progress.
Four people died as a result of this accident: 37 year old Gloria Lewis from Midville, 12 year old Tyroneesha Lewis from Midville, 43 year old Lawrence Skinner from Augusta, and 45 year old Janice Stout from Augusta.
Christopher Bush is the only person charged in the accident.
He faces 4 counts of vehicular homicide and 1 count of reckless driving.
He is out on bond.
Bush told News 12 he was trying to stay away from the pickup driver and moved over to let him pass. He also says he feels for the lewis family, and said skinner should not have been on the road.
