Following an extensive four-year public process in the U District, we released draft zoning recommendations that would allow greater height and density in the blocks surrounding light rail at NE 43rd St. and Brooklyn Ave NE. The proposal would apply design standards to help new buildings fit into the U District neighborhood context, implement new affordable housing and open space requirements, and implement incentives for childcare, historic preservation, and street improvements.
The University Community Urban Center Plan was adopted in 1998. It established Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for the U District, as one of Seattle's six urban centers. Most of those goals and policies are still relevant, but some updates were needed to better align with recent community conversations. We recommended some amendments to the plan and included new, consolidated goals and policies as well as changes to the Future Land Use Map. City Council considered these recommendations in a public process and adopted them in October.
The U District Urban Design Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) evaluates impacts of several possible Comp Plan and Land Use Code amendments, including changes that would allow increased height and density in the core of the U District.
Objectives of the proposal include:
The public comment period for the Draft EIS began on April 24 and closed on June 23, 2014. The Final EIS was published on January 8, 2015. The Hearing Examiner upheld the adequacy of the EIS document on June 19, 2015.
Final EIS Documents
Draft EIS Documents
EIS Scoping process (2013)
In September-October 2013, we held a public scoping process to get initial feedback and direction on our Draft EIS alternatives:
Hard copies of the Final EIS are available for public review at the Central Branch and the University Branch of the Seattle Public Library, University of Washington's Suzzallo Library and Built Environments Library, and the University Neighborhood Service Center. You may get copies of our Draft EIS free of charge (while supplies last) at OPCD which is on the 20th floor of the Seattle Municipal Tower, 700 Fifth Avenue. For more information, contact Dave LaClergue at (206) 733-9668 or email@example.com.
In Fall 2014, we cosponsored a series of community events with Seattle Parks and the U District Partnership (UDP). The series provided a forum to continue the discussion about public open space in the U District:
The U District Partnership Board adopted the final report in Fall 2015. The final report, presentations, and meeting materials, prepared by consultants and the U District Open Space Forum steering committee, are available below:
Meeting #1
Meeting #2
Meeting #3
In the 1998 University District Neighborhood Plan, the community designated three "green streets": Brooklyn Ave NE, NE 43rd St., and NE 42nd St. This means that these streets should emphasize open space, landscaping, and a high-quality pedestrian experience. Green streets are improved piece by piece over time with concept plans establishing a vision to improve quality and consistency.
The U District Green Streets plan includes recommendations for sidewalks, street trees, bike lanes, and landscaping on three important streets in the U District. It's based on a year of community input through the U District Partnership and broader public meetings.
The U District Partnership is a separate but related planning effort, led by a wide range of groups and individuals within the U District. City planners are coordinating closely with this group to make sure our work aligns with the work going on in the broader community.

Ride-sharing companies connect drivers with passengers throughout Phoenix and Tucson using mobile apps. They operate largely without license or regulation in Arizona, and regulators can do little to stop them.
State officials acknowledge their inability to force companies such as Uber and Lyft to comply with laws requiring professional drivers to obtain a commercial license and carry insurance with $300,000 minimum liability.
A lawsuit filed over the death of a 6-year-old girl struck by an Uber driver in San Francisco has raised questions about ride-sharing business models, including whether they could be made liable for the conduct of their drivers.
Legal and transportation experts say the lawsuit could fundamentally change the way ride-sharing companies skirt regulations by marketing themselves as technology firms rather than taxi or limousine services.
"Too many times it takes these situations to bring things like this to a head," said Shawn Marquez, director of compliance programs for the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures. "We have grave concerns."
The ride-sharing business is rapidly expanding as popularity grows among consumers who use mobile phones to virtually hail privately owned rides that are cheaper, and in some cases more fuel efficient, than a regular taxi service.
San Francisco-based Uber, which collects a portion of each fare booked through the app, maintains that drivers are independent contractors and not company employees. Uber officials said in a statement the driver who hit the girl in San Francisco was "not providing services on the Uber system during the time of the accident."
That means he wasn't transporting a passenger when it occurred, although the lawsuit alleges he was using Uber's system at the time to book his next fare. The lawsuit contends the company is refusing to cover others injured in the accident with its oft-touted $1 million insurance policy.
The policy is supposed to protect Uber riders. Company officials declined comment on the case. But a company spokesman said Uber drivers are privately screened, must show proof of insurance and get their vehicles inspected at Uber facilities.
Arizona officials say Uber's practice violates both the spirit and letter of the law. Marquez pointed out that Arizona does not have a lot of requirements, but the state requires drivers to be licensed, show proof of insurance and have commercial plates.
"Anybody transporting people for hire needs a Weights and Measures license," Marquez said. "Our whole deal is public safety. We don't have a problem with ride-sharing apps as long as they are licensed."
Marquez acknowledged the state so far has been unable to force companies such as Uber into compliance. That's because Arizona licenses cars, not the companies using them.
Regulators instead have taken to citing individual drivers, a difficult task because drivers use private vehicles without discernible markings.
"We have not issued any cease-and-desists," he said. "The reason is the companies don't own the cars. Therein lies the rub.... These guys portray themselves as just an app service."
Marquez said state officials are negotiating with ride-sharing companies. "It is in a legal process right now," he said.
Tech-savvy Millennials, who are increasingly turning away from car ownership and seeking out alternative modes of transportation, have catapulted Uber from a startup in 2009 to a worldwide operation in 70 cities and 26 countries.
According to Tech Crunch, an online media site specializing in technology companies, Uber has raised $59 million from private investors since 2009 and is worth about $3.5 billion.
Other cities and states have tried to impose regulations on Uber and similar ride-sharing companies. In 2012, Washington, D.C., officials impounded an Uber driver's car as part of a sting operation, saying the company was operating an illegal cab service. Officials in New York City, Toronto and Vancouver all have had disputes with the company over regulation.
The California Public Utilities Commission last year mandated that ride-sharing companies buy commercial insurance policies with $1 million minimum liability coverage.
Traditional taxi companies say ride-sharing companies have been allowed to operate with impunity from laws and standards imposed on commercial drivers. They say the companies have created an uneven playing field when it comes to competition. A coalition of taxi companies in Chicago and Boston has filed separate lawsuits against Uber, calling it an illegal operation.
Uber spokesman Andrew Noyes said the company does not operate in Houston; Las Vegas; Miami; Portland, Ore.; or St. Louis because regulations "designed to favor the taxi industry" limit profitability.
"Laws ... shield the taxi industry from healthy competition," he said.
Noyes would not confirm how many drivers operate in Arizona nor how many passengers request rides every day.
"We don't employ drivers or (own) the cars," Noyes said. "We are a technology company."
His comments come despite Uber's advertisements on social-media websites offering career opportunities, such as one posted on Facebook last week:
"Earn at least $20/hour and up to $70K/year driving in Phoenix and make your own schedule. Partner with UberX! Click below and apply now!" the advertisement stated.
UberX is the company's popular ride-sharing program that contracts with drivers who own low-cost, fuel-efficient vehicles such as Toyota's Prius and Camry Hybrid.
The company has two other tiers of service. Uber Black, which represented the core of the company's business when it launched four years ago, uses Lincoln Town Cars and similar vehicles to transport customers. Uber SUV uses sport-utility vehicles such as Lincoln Navigators. Both tiers rely on drivers employed by commercial transportation companies.
Noyes said the company conducts background checks on all of its UberX drivers to ensure they have safe driving records.
The company also requires drivers to carry minimum insurance of $15,000 for injuries, $30,000 for total liability and $10,000 in property damage, which is the minimum any driver must carry to drive a car legally in Arizona.
The coverage is far below Arizona's minimum of $300,000/$300,000 for injuries and liability for commercial drivers.
The 6-year-old in San Francisco was struck by an UberX driver.
Sofia Liu was killed as she crossed a street with her family on New Year's Eve. Her mother and 5-year-old brother were injured.
In a lawsuit filed last week, Liu's family contended that Uber should be held liable for the accident. They say the driver, Syed Muzaffar, 57, was between fares and was distracted by the mobile app he was using to locate his next fare.
Records show Muzaffar was convicted in Florida of reckless driving in 2004 after being arrested for driving more than 100 mph.
Uber severed ties with Muzaffar after the accident, saying in its statement "the driver was a partner of Uber and his account was immediately deactivated."
Phoenix lawyer Robert Sewell said the lawsuit could change the way ride-sharing companies operate. Sewell, a partner in the firm of Davis Miles McGuire Gardner, is not involved in the case.
He said the suit raises questions about whether Uber should be held liable for the driver's actions and whether the company was negligent for its product. Did the app, as alleged in the suit, cause the driver to become distracted and contribute to the accident?
Sewell said Uber operates like a cab company while saying they are just a technology company. He said it appears as if it is a little of both. He said many people likely believe they are hailing a cab when they ask Uber for a ride.
"In fact, you are hailing an independent contractor," he said. "Their whole business model is designed to avoid direct liability."
He said the suit could lead to strict regulations in states where ride-sharing companies do business. Uber, which is facing other lawsuits, could be forced to adopt new standards for its drivers.
"It could put them out of business," Sewell said.

How many games did we win because of Filppula?
Filppula hasn't been racking up points, but he's working and making solid offensive plays. You can't say both of those things about either Franzen or Cleary.

What is in this article?:
- South Carolina peanut growers questioning variety selection
- White mold impact
- Bailey guidelines
• Planting Bailey versus some of the more disease prone Virginia-type varieties can save growers big money on fungicide costs.
• Bailey is not a cure-all remedy for peanut production, but in terms of natural disease protection, combined with yield potential, it is a good option for many growers.
BAILEY PEANUTS in variety testing at the Edisto Research Station in Blackville, S.C.
White mold impact
A quick look at the levels of white mold, leafspot and tomato spotted wilt virus damage to the nine varieties in the test provides ample reason for the higher yields from Bailey.
The percentage of plants with white mold for Bailey was 9.2 percent — the average was 21.9 percent. Though there are several fungicides used to combat white mold, in most cases there is little that can be done to prevent yield loss once the disease develops in a peanut field.
On a scale of 1-10, from light to heavy leafspot damage, Bailey had the second lowest percentage of damage. Florida Fancy at 5.9 topped Bailey, which came in at 6.1. The average among the nine varieties in the test was 6.6.
The top disease performance for Bailey came in damage, or lack thereof, from tomato spotted wilt virus. Bailey blew away the other eight varieties in the test, with a percent stunting from the disease at only 1.7 percent. The next best variety was rated with 5.4 percent stunting. The average for all nine varieties was 8.9 percent.
Monfort points out that Bailey doesn't always come out on top in disease resistance, but it consistently is on top or near the top in all the major diseases that pose a risk to peanut yields in South Carolina.
(For another look at new peanut varieties that are available and some in the pipeline, see Peanut growers have more, better variety options).
The South Carolina researchers carried out the test to measure value per acre, and it is no surprise that Bailey was near the top in economics as well.
GA 11J produced the top money value of $1,105 per acre, compared to Bailey at $1,083. GA 08V, FL Fancy, Sugg, Perry and Champs all produced more than $1,000 per acre.
Among both Virginia and runner type peanuts, Bailey out-distanced all varieties in terms of yield.
In tests at both the Edisto Research Station in Blackville, S.C., and the PeeDee Research Station in Florence, Bailey was the only variety to average 5,000 pounds per acre at both locations.
Among runner types in the test at both locations FL 07, with 5,536 pounds per acre in Blackville and 3,776 pounds per acre in Florence was the high yielder. GA 098, GA 06G, GA 07W and Florunner 07 all topped 5,000 pounds per acre in Blackville and between 3,124 and 3,873 at Florence.
Jay Chapin, now retired South Carolina peanut specialist has worked with Bailey since it was first developed and years before it was released as a new variety by North Carolina State University in 2009.

MUSKEGON COUNTY — Auto dealer Don Rypma, a longtime supporter of the service provided by the Secretary of State office in Whitehall, is critical of the decision to consolidate the two Muskegon County branch offices into one.
The owner of Don Rypma Chevrolet Buick Pontiac GMC in Whitehall is concerned about the additional travel and wait time the consolidation will likely mean for his employees. It has yet to be announced where the larger "Muskegon County Plus" office will be located, but it will almost certainly be outside the White Lake area.
As a longtime community member who fought for 10 years to get a Whitehall branch office, he's worried about the impact on all county residents.
"There's three locations in Ottawa County (Grand Haven, Holland and Hudsonville) and they want to leave Muskegon County with just one," Rypma said. "It's not fair to the people in Muskegon County."
Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land announced this week the proposed consolidation of the two offices to produce a "Muskegon County Plus" office as part of a "modernization" program, which takes into account the state government's difficult economic times and an increase in public use of the department's online services. A timeline for the merger has not been finalized as state officials will consider competitive bids for the location of the Muskegon County office. The project will lead to the closure of at least one, if not both, of the two current offices — 1485 E. Apple in Muskegon Township and 3297 Colby in Whitehall Township.
Local residents and state officials who represent the area are concerned with the expected longer wait times and longer trips to reach one location.
Marrianne Houseman, 67, of Egelston Township, visited the Apple Avenue office Thursday with her 20-year-old grandson, who had misplaced his driver's license and needed a replacement. The two waited only about 10 minutes, but Houseman said she has waited "two to three hours" some days. She fears the wait time will grow.
"I can understand the state having to cut down on things, but my goodness, they make it harder and harder," she said. "I just think they're making it harder for people to take care of business."
Houseman says accessing services online is not an option. She doesn't own a computer and has no idea how to use one.
Muskegon Heights resident Ronald Brown agreed. Though the wait will be longer, he said, he doesn't intend to take care of his business online.
"You don't want too much of your personal information out there," he said, citing worries with information on the Web falling into the wrong hands. "It's too corrupt."
State Rep. Doug Bennett, D-Muskegon Township, said he understands the rationale for consolidating Secretary of State offices based on the state's fiscal difficulties.
Bennett said he trusts that the decision by Land, a Republican, is based on using technology to make her department run more economically and providing services as user friendly as possible.
"I realize it's going to inconvenience some folks," Bennett said, pointing out his concern that it may greatly impact the most poor residents. "I would hope and think — it's not just this department going through transition — when this is done that all our citizens, regardless of economic status, are well served."
State Sen. Gerald Van Woerkom, R-Norton Shores, said he understands Land's reasoning, but he's worried about the hardship on Muskegon County residents.
"I'm disappointed, because I think our two offices create good services for our people," Van Woerkom said. "With one office, I think it will be an inconvenience to people. We went through this years ago with the Muskegon Heights office and it was a pain for people."

With an album, a concert tour, movies and merchandise carrying her name, Hilary Duff is one of the busiest 19-year-olds around. Her latest adventure has her creating original designs for a virtual doll community. PEOPLE caught up with Duff to dish on her latest project and find out what it's like to be one of Hollywood's hottest teens.
Are you taking time off to relax this summer?
No, I'm going to be working all summer. I have a tour in Canada and then I start touring in the States and then I'll be going to Europe, so it's going to be a really crazy summer but it's fun.
What is something that you won't leave home without?
I bring my two dogs with me. It's hard because you're in a different hotel room almost every day and it's just so impersonal. I'm definitely a homebody so having them there makes it more comfortable. And my laptop – I bring that pretty much everywhere – and lots of shoes!
So you can have options?
Yes. You know what's funny? When you're on tour – except for at night because you get dressed up for the show – normally you look so gross. You just throw on sweats and don't do anything with yourself until the show. After about a month of that you're like, "I feel like a man. I need to be cute." So I have to have cute options and put a little effort into it.
What kind of music will you listen to on the road?
I've been getting into a lot of older hip-hop music recently like Dr. Dre. Something about the summer brings it out in me – like I love Salt-N-Peppa. I love Amy Winehouse right now and Bloc Party's new CD and I'm still a huge Cure fan.
You recently signed up to be a part of the Stardoll.com community. How did that happen?
When I was younger I loved paper dolls and so it's kind of like an updated version of that. When my manager told me about it I was really excited because it sounded so cute.
What's it like seeing yourself as a cyber doll?
It's strange at first but I've done a couple things like that before. I'm a character in a video game so it just becomes normal after you start seeing yourself in magazines and on TV and everywhere else.
Do you ever read about yourself online?
I try to stay away from the gossip stuff. I used to be obsessed and I just feel like it's so negative. I don't like reading stuff about myself on there so I'm trying to stop reading about other people.
Does it ever get easier?
Yeah, it does when you just stop caring. It just becomes uninteresting. They say the same stuff about all the same girls or all the same people and supposedly everyone has all the same problems – it's pretty amusing now.
What's something that you let yourself splurge on?
Girls get cravings to get a new pair of shoes once in awhile so I definitely treat myself. I buy things for my house. I definitely feel like it's a big treat to have what I want in my house and get to enjoy it.
Do you give yourself an allowance or do you just buy what you want?
I definitely don't just buy what I want. When you get to that point, then you're never excited about anything… If I splurge on a bag I still get so excited about it and like, talk about it all the time. I like feeling like that.
Is it cool or hard to be a young mogul?
It's a little bit of both. It's so funny that people think that I'm a mogul – I don't do all this by myself. I get to be a part of the creative end of it and I definitely do know a lot about it but it's not all my ideas and I have so many people that help me on a daily basis.
Is there one endeavor that is especially fun for you?
I'd say that the movies and the music are the most fun. With the music I get to be myself and I get to be on stage and there's nothing more rewarding than that… The movies are cool because I get to challenge myself.
Did you always expect to be this successful?
I didn't even know a lifestyle like this existed. It is really exciting and really scary at the same time. There's a lot of pressure to deal with and a lot of stress and I do feel a little bit like a business woman but I have this other job where everyone knows who I am and everyone watches everything I do and it's kind of scary because I really am just a person at the same time.
What's the biggest perk in your line of work?
It's nice to know that you affect people in positive ways. And I am really young and I'm able to support myself and help out my family if they need it or help out a friend. And since I do have a life where I can just go wherever I want whenever I want, I get to have everything I want in my house and be private and enjoy it here.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Margaret Thatcher Dies of Stroke
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died Monday after suffering a stroke. She was 87 years old.
Her death was confirmed by son Mark and daughter Carol, The Telegraph newspaper reported.
"It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning. A further statement will be made later," Thatcher's spokesman Lord Bell announced.
Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady, governed Britain from 1979 to 1990. She was Britain's first female prime minister.
Dengue Fever Much More Common Than Believed: Study
There may be about 390 million cases of dengue fever worldwide each year, which is nearly four times higher than previously believed, a new study says.
Prior estimates by the World Health Organization put the number of cases of the mosquito-borne tropical disease at 50 million to 100 million a year, the Associated Press reported.
The study authors noted that most cases of dengue fever are mild and don't require medical treatment. Their findings were published online Sunday in the journal Nature.
The new numbers came from analyzing more evidence than was used in previous estimates and by looking at other factors that influence dengue, explained Jeremy Farrar, one of the study authors and director of the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam, the AP reported.
Two Infants Infected with Herpes After Ritual Circumcision
In the last three months, two infants in New York City's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community have been infected with herpes after undergoing ritual circumcision, the city's health department says.
The two boys were not identified. Officials said one of the babies developed a fever and lesion on its scrotum seven days after the circumcision and tested positive for herpes, ABC News reported.
It is too early to tell if the infants will suffer long-term health consequences from the herpes infection, said Jay Varma, deputy commissioner for disease control in the city's health department.
The ritual circumcision includes a highly controversial component in which the practitioner places his mouth around the baby's penis to suck the blood and "cleanse" the wound, ABC News reported.
Thirteen cases of herpes have been linked to the ritual since 2000, including two deaths and two other babies who suffered brain damage.
WHO May Send Bird Flu Team to China
The Chinese government and World Health Organization are talking about sending international experts to China to investigate the new H7N9 bird flu strain, which has sickened at least 24 people, including seven who died.
The latest victim died Sunday night a week after first experiencing chills. The 64-year-old man in Shanghai first sought medical treatment on Wednesday and was admitted to hospital Sunday. He died hours later, the Associated Press reported.
The WHO has confidence in China's efforts to track and control the outbreak, but growing international concern about the virus has led the health organization to consider sending a team to the country, said Michael O'Leary, head of WHO's office in China, the AP reported.
The outbreak is of "great interest not only in the scientific community but in the world at large," he said at a joint press conference with China's national health agency. "WHO's responsibility in part is to make sure that we serve as liaison and linkage between China and the rest of the world."
The H7N9 virus had previously not been known to infect humans.

CES show wrapper: 4K TVs, 6in smartphones and eight-core chips
Companies going big in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS: THE 2013 Consumer Electronics Show was about all things big. Big crowds, big stars and big screens. As the show winds down, The INQUIRER takes a look back at the some of the biggest stories from the biggest consumer technology show of the year.
The show kicked off Monday night with a keynote from Qualcomm chairman and CEO Paul Jacobs. The opening presentation was the first at CES not to be delivered by a Microsoft executive. Those who were pining for a visit from the Redmond software giant were rewarded early in the presentation when Steve Ballmer made a surprise cameo appearance to preach the virtues of Windows Phone.
The Qualcomm chief was later joined on stage by a parade of celebrities, including actress Alice Eve, director Guillermo Del Toro and Nascar driver Brad Keselowski.
The star of the Qualcomm keynote, however, was actually something very small. The company's new mobile processor, the Snapdragon 800 processor, made its debut during the presentation. The chip promises to break new ground in the mobile device market by delivering console quality graphics performance.
While Qualcomm's new chip generated no shortage of buzz, it was TV sets that captivated many on the show floor. Much of the talk centred around the new class of 4K television sets. Offering display resolutions up to four times greater than that of a standard 1080p screen, the sets offer support for high-definition television standards not yet in use.
Sharp looked to distance itself from competitors by introducing a new semiconductor material. The company believes that its use of IGZO semiconductors will enable the design of high-resolution monitors that consume far less power than traditional screens.
Though much was made of big TV screens, handheld devices also captivated convention goers. Lenovo won headlines when it unveiled the K900, an Android handset that sports an Intel Atom processor and high-end camera hardware.
Huawei joined the handset parade when it revealed a new smartphone, its first to run the Windows Phone operating system. The Ascend W1 is set to launch later this year in the UK on the O2 network. The firm also unveiled the Ascend D2 and Ascend Mate smartphone, which earns the title of the world's largest smartphone thanks to its 6.1in touchscreen display.
Intel also made noise in the mobile arena when it announced that it will produce an Atom chip designed for low-cost handsets. The company hopes that the Atom chip designed for mobile devices will be successful in emerging markets where low-cost smartphones are popular.

Lausanne, Switzerland, 23 September 2012 – Just a few hours after the 12 World Series of Boxing Franchises discovered in which Group they will compete in the Regular Season, all General Managers and Coaches present at the 2012/2013 Franchise Conference had the opportunity to strengthen their squads with the International Boxers Draft.
One year after the 2011/2012 Draft was held in Baku (Azerbaijan), on the rest-day of the 2011 AIBA World Boxing Championships, where 21 international boxers were chosen, an additional 27 were again drafted from a list of 118 available athletes, representing 40 countries from all five continents.
Amongst these 27 drafted boxers, nine have participated in the London 2012 Olympic Games with one winning a bronze medal (Irishman Michael Conlan) and four reaching the quarter-finals.
The Franchises which have drafted the biggest number of boxers are the Kazakhstan Astana Arlans and Mexico Guerreros with five each. Eight Heavyweights and Light Heavyweights have been drafted which makes these weight categories the most "attractive" ones. In comparison, only one Lightweight has been drafted.
Ireland is the country that has seen the biggest number of its boxers drafted (six). After this Draft, WSB is delighted to welcome its very first fighters from Estonia (Ainar Karlson), Iran (Ehsan Rouzbahani) and South Africa (Siphiwe Lusizi).
WSB Group Draw kicks off Season III
Lausanne, Switzerland, 23 September 2012 – On the fringe of the 2012/2013 World Series of Boxing Franchise Conference held over this week-end in Lausanne, Switzerland, was made today the Group Draw of this Season III. All 12 WSB Franchises were divided into two worldwide groups, bringing a lot of anticipation in all ranks.
"As the Team Champions, we were ready to take on anyone. But let's be honest, this Group is a really tough one", declared Claudio Ballor, General Manager of the Milano Thunder. "We are happy because we will have some very interesting travels, but also some kind of revenge".
Group A
Dynamo Moscow
India Fighters
Azerbaijan Baku Fires
Argentina Condors
Mexico Guerreros
Hussars Poland
Group B
Milano Thunder
Germany Eagles
Kazakhstan Astana Arlans
Great Britain (*)

"We are really happy about this draw, we will have some very interesting opponents", stated Hernán Salvo, General Manager of the Argentina Condors. "It is our first season in WSB and we hope that this Group A will be good with us".
"It is extremely exciting to learn who Ukraine will be facing in its first WSB season", declared Volodymyr Prodyvus, President of the Ukrainian Boxing Federation. "Our Group is very strong and it's great, we like challenges. Competing with teams such as Milano, the Champions or Kazakhstan, which always has a strong line-up… I mean everyone in Ukraine will be excited about all these matches. Now we have even more motivation to gather the best possible line-up of Ukrainian boxers. We are eagerly waiting November 16th and are already starting to spread the word around the country about our match against Kazakhstan Astana Arlans."
Same as last season, tiebreakers have also been drawn for each of the seven playoff matches. They are as follows.
Quarter-Final 1: Middleweight
Quarter-Final 2: Bantamweight
Quarter-Final 3: Light Heavyweight
Quarter-Final 4: Middleweight
Semi-Final 1: Middleweight
Semi-Final 2: Lightweight
Team Final: Bantamweight
(*) World Series of Boxing is currently having final discussions with the British Boxing Association and therefore the Franchise was provisionally included in this Group Draw.

Glad you reminded me about thermal paste. I build my own computers and have some arctic silver so she should be good to go.
I just hit Google for a bind and fly V400D02 and couldn't get a hit that conformed it would have a RX2614V-D receiver. For a Devo you want that D on the end.
My incentive was to offer up my Devo 7 up for sale. After I get my Devo 10 going I am thinking of moving the 7 out to a lucky shopper.
I have a confession to make. I am getting a serious case of dyslexia from the Devo manual!
I managed to find a copy online that has lots of the Chinese mistranslation smoothed out. And its much better now.
The file name should be DEVO_EM.pdf
What prompted me to plea for help is after reading Properly setting up a V400D02, and doing as instructed I when I put the stick to the 50% mark it says 80%. I cannot get a 50% readout.
Can someone bail me out here?.
Next, yes I have played with the frot panel trim slide switches and have no idea how to center or reset them. From my experimental fiasco I think there are 50 total clicks with audible tones at each end and center. Correct? Do they stay there after a power cycle? I read if one knows how to use the Devo those remain untouched.
Yet another one is I cannot find information on how the toggles should be by default as far as new and out of the box for 1st time or normal flight.
Last, I have read enough that I know I'm not 3D material and would like to set it up for Noober or perhaps Scale type flight. Or even a way to confirm its back to how it was at purchase.
Thanks, How about the "Model Reset" function. If I choose the 400D2 and then do a reset on it, will it put it to "As Shipped"? Or to as if I purchased the Devo without a specific aircraft?
I'm getting there! Just having a better manual to read has calmed me down a bunch!

Very smart idea to place the foam ball on the end of the tail motor holder. I've broken lots of these cheap parts and have been looking for a fix.
I see from the pictures that you left the tail struts on along with the carbon tail boom. Do you think the struts are still necessary?
PhoenixRC 4 Working Well With Devo 7 In Windows 7 64 Bit
Hi guys, I want to report I received Phoenix RC Pro Version 4.0, p/n RTM4000 (DVD & Dongle) today and installed it on my Win7 Pro 64bit machine today and it sees the Devo 7 fine.
Its Really Nice!
I had to use a Radio Shack 3.5mm stereo female to mono male adapter at the end of the supplied USB dongle cord going into the Devo 7.
The install went well as I already had ActiveX (v11) but let it install it anyway. It asked to install Adobe Reader 9 with v11 being the newest but I let it run its course and it aborted when seeing the newer reader.
I fired up the PhoenixRC and it wanted a Radio, I plugged the supplied dongle in and the driver loaded but no sign of a Radio. I cycled the Devo 7 power a couple times, did a couple USB insertion cycles as well as couple 3.5 mm re-insertions and eventually I got a prompt for a restart.
Sorry, but I did not log my sequence. It was hap-hazard.
The restart was the magic. It may have been still working in the background all the while I was doing all the connection & power fumbling. If I could do it again I would:
The Radio wizard does not have a Devo in the model list so I chose the "I do not See My Model" option and it let me create one in a profile I named Devo 7.
The wizard had me stroke the controls showing me the sliders on screen and I had to reverse a couple of them but little did I know it was thinking Plane and I was thinking Heli.
It fired up with a yellow Bi-plane idling on the runway and I took off. Crashed that baby a few and seen the Aileron or up/down flaps were reversed and reversed them.
Then I went into the menu and swapped to Heli and found the Blade 120SR soon to arrive via USPS.
I found the Aileron reversed. All these reversals were good practice for learning my way around the software.
WoW! The look and feel are amazing. I am running the maximum quality setting.
I have a home build PC running the Intel i7-3770k, 16GB RAM and SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express GPU.
I have a dual boot BIOS with a 4.5 clock on the ready but its not needed.
I have no regrets. I searched all over for a Win7 Devo Phoenix confirmation and found none. Here it is.

I've not tested it yet. Im just asking about those knobs. Some of them are described on Properly setting up a V400D02 by navigator2011 (many thanx for it, bro, I'll follow it).
I'm awaiting for new servos and then I'll put them onto heli and I'll test it.
I'm using brushless motors - both of them - main and tail, not using stock ESC. Have main blages 325mm, and batterypack 2800.
I'm gonna to upgrade tail stabilizer to metal (from T-Rex), cause Ive destroyed many stock stabs (frail piece of crap).
I will see, how much I'll have to set up the knobs on rx. That is reason why I wanted to know what is each knob taking care of.
Maybe this will help--I have posted a picture and a brief discussion of my Rx2614V settings used for my Hybrid 450 pro here:

On Being Our BestClaire Diaz-Ortiz
At the holidays, we try to be our best. We dust off our fancy red dresses and glittery Santa hats, we clean off our makeup brushes and poof our hair to its heights. And for good reason. During the holidays, we see everyone we know. Or, at least, most years. (When we travel to far-off lands to avoid the holiday hustle and bustle, as my family has been known to do, it's another story).
But for those of us who usually go home to friends and family during the holidays — or live in places where friends and family come to us — the holiday season is a time where we are seen. By the aforementioned friends and family, and also my an ever-expanding list of long-lost relatives, other people's long-relatives, coworkers, other people's coworkers, church-goers, party-goers, and Santa's elves. And, when we're being seen, we like to be on our best behavior, after all.
And this doesn't just apply to us. I'm likely not the only one who has recommended a particular outfit for a sometimes-clueless husband or an always-clueless minor to wear to a particular event. (No matter if it's a Christmas Eve church service or an ugly sweater party.) We want us all to be our best, and we work hard to that aim.
Obviously our holiday attire is just the tip of the iceberg. During the holidays we don't just dress better, but we try to bake better, smile better, make better cocktail party banter, and just be better, in general.
But it's a funny thing that we do all this, and work so hard, and spend so much time being our best, for only a few weeks a year. After all, wouldn't it be great to be this way all year long?
Yes! Of course we would. But is it realistic. Can we be on top of our game 52 weeks a year? Although one reality is that our holiday best might just not be sustainable, another reality is that we can all work better to be a bit more like our holiday best all year long. Indeed, there are steps we can take to make it a bit more of a reality, even when New Year's Resolutions lose their January luster.
This year, when you're full up with the excitement of December, sit and think about the three best things you present during this time. The three best things you exude to the world – be it your hospitality, your charm, your wit, your winning smile, your knack for logistical wrangling, or your baked goods – and dedicate yourself to trying to bring these into your life throughout the year.
After all, if we're at our best in the cold depths of December, it's not a far stretch to say that we can one day be at our best in the bright sun of June.

Protect Private Data From ID Thieves Who Call You
Staten Island business bank urges potential scam victims to hang up on questionable callers
Identity thieves use a variety of ways to trick potential victims into revealing personal information. Victory State Bank, Staten Island's only community-based commercial bank, is echoing the advice of the Federal Trade Commission (FCC) when it says: DO NOT give out personal information in response to an incoming call.
Identity thieves are clever – they often pose as representatives of banks, credit card companies, creditors, or government agencies to get people to reveal their account numbers, Social Security numbers, mother's maiden names, passwords and other identifying information, explains the FCC.
If you get an inquiry from a company or government agency seeking personal information, don't provide it.
The FCC and Victory State Bank advise that you hang up and call the phone number on your account statement, in the phone book or on the company's or government agency's website to find out if the entity that supposedly called you actually needs the requested information from you.
About Victory State Bank
VSB Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: VSBN) is the one-bank holding company for Victory State Bank. As Staten Island, N.Y.'s only community-based commercial bank, Victory State Bank operates five full-service locations on the Island: The main office in the community of Great Kills, and branches in the communities of West Brighton, St. George, Dongan Hills and Rosebank.

"We are proud to have three of our programs recognized in this manner," University of Alabama Director of Athletics Bill Battle said. "All three teams are great examples of the championship balance we strive for across the board in both academics and excellence."
Each year the NCAA honors select Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multi-year NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR). This award is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams that demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. Specifically, these teams posted multi-year APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport.
In addition to men's golf and women's tennis, the Tide's 2013 SEC Champion women's golf team was honored for the fourth year in a row. The women's tennis team was recognized for the third year in a row. The Tide was third among SEC athletics departments for the total number of teams earning the Public Recognition Award.
"We are also pleased to once again have multiple teams earn this award," Battle said. "We are also proud of the fact that we have had at least one team honored in this fashion every year since the award's inception in 2005."
Crimson Tide teams have earned the NCAA honor 17 times over the past eight years. The overall APR report covering all sports will be released next week.

As part of a statewide initiative, students put stickers reading "Keep it Legal!" on cases of beer to remind adults that buying alcohol for those under 21 is illegal.
Salem County Underage Drinking Coalition Coordinator Beth Mayers said that while some find it acceptable to provide beer and liquor to the youth, it should not be done.
"Some people think that drinking is a right of passage, but it's truly not," Mayers said. "The students that are standing up against illegal drinking are really making a statement."
Mayers said that it is especially important during proms, graduations and summer holidays to maintain drinking laws.
Kyle Kowal, a senior at Pennsville Memorial High School participating in the sticker project, said that he encourages other students not to drink.
Emily Shewski, PMHS sophomore, agreed. "Underage drinking is a growing problem," she said. "Adults need to be more aware of the laws and the danger of providing alcohol to minors."
J Tee's Liquor Manager A.J. Patel said that he believes in backing state laws. "The laws are there for a reason, and it's good for society to follow them," Patel said.
"It's important for minors to know that it is illegal to drink before they turn 21 and that when they can drink, they have to be responsible," Patel added.
In addition to supporting drinking laws by participating in Project Sticker Shock, Patel said J Tee's works hard to check identification.
The store recently implemented a device that reads driver's license bar codes to ensure that those purchasing alcohol are of legal age.
"Before, we would look at IDs and have to do math, but now we can know with certainty that customers are over 21," Patel said.
Bill Smith, who leads students at PMHS to choose a drug-free life, said that he hopes this will discourage adults from buying alcohol for minors.
"These students are working in the community to show others that it's possible to lead a happy life without drugs or alcohol," Smith said.
"Teenagers are very peer conscious, and their influence is something we can't duplicate," Smith added. "If they make a good example, other students will follow."

Washington State Patrol chasing car license violators
The Washington State Patrol has revived a unit of officers to pursue a distinct class of lawbreakers: people living in the state who've retained license plates from Oregon or elsewhere.
If you've moved from Portland to Vancouver, for example, you've got thirty days to get your vehicle's papers in order. If you don't, troopers will be looking for you.
Patrol Sergeant Randy Hullinger says the revenue generated by vehicle registration is important to the state – enough so that last session the legislature revived funding for the license investigation unit.
Sgt. Randy Hullinger: "If you take just a few minutes to drive through any Vancouver neighborhood, or just sit on the side of the freeway during rush hour and count the number of out-of-state plates, it's an incredible number of plates."
Hullinger says last week troopers picked off some offenders by making rush-hour ramp checks, or combing through apartment complex parking lots. Some people emailed or called in tips on their neighbors.
The fine is at least one thousand dollars, and the penalty can be more severe if the car's owner evaded Washington taxes.

Banking your baby's umbilical cord blood stem cells
If you or someone you know is expecting a child, now is the time to learn more about the benefits of umbilical cord blood banking. A safe and painless procedure performed by your physician or midwife after the delivery of your child can turn what would otherwise be discarded into a potentially life-saving medical tool that you can choose how to use. Unlike other cord blood banks, Utah Cord Bank clients own their privately stored stem cells. It costs only $48 to order your kit today and get started -- there are no other costs or commitments until after your stem cells are safely stored in liquid nitrogen. And, when you compare bottom line prices, Utah Cord Bank charges a third as much as many other banks and has the lowest yearly storage fee in the nation.
Reducing transit time and wait time before processing increases stem cell yield and viability. Utah Cord Bank is the only local company able to provide this service. Whether you deliver your baby at 1:00 in the morning or 1:00 in the afternoon a trained Utah Cord Bank courier will arrive within 2 hours to retrieve your umbilical cord blood. The stem cell extraction and cryogenic preservation processes begin immediately after we receive your cord blood -- not the next day. Finally your cells are safely stored at our local storage facility until you decide to use them. Explore this site or give us a call at 1-877-822-7836 to learn more about the benefits of umbilical cord blood banking today.

In this monograph the authors have called upon their collective experience in surgery, medicine, and research, and have made ample reference to the recent literature. With the focus on arteriosclerotic disease of arteries, differentiation is made between vascular diseases which can be treated surgically and those which should be treated medically.
The book begins with introductory topics covering the pathophysiology of peripheral blood flow and follows with a chapter on evaluation. Much of this discussion is dedicated to angiography. Most of the text is given to the problems of restoration of circulatory integrity, and includes detailed techniques of operative procedures for atherosclerosis. This is supported by numerous drawings and preoperative and postoperative arteriograms. To cover those conditions where vascular surgery is not indicated, there are discussions on supportive surgical measures and medical management.
The book is well organized; each chapter begins with an outline of its contents. It is

It no longer is enough to say a product performs well but this one certainly does. This sheer mineral lipstick is a low key , beautiful crimson with plenty of color pigment. Nothing dramatic, just nice and soft and easy to wear just about any where. And if you care about what you put on your lips then your in the right place wearing Vapour Oganic!5
I used my birchbox points to help purchase this and I am in love with this lipstick! I love it so much I came back to buy more but birchbox only sells the one color in Intuition :( I went directly to Vapour Organics website and bought five more shades of this lipstick I'm now obsessed with!5

You will need to collect Sales Tax if you are selling a product or offering a service that is taxable. The process of getting a Sales Tax ID is called obtaining a sales tax exemption certificate.
Your state tax id number authorizes you to collect sales tax on your taxable sales. Once you receive your state tax id number, you are considered to be in business even if you never make a sale or never open the doors of your establishment. It is therefore important that you file your sales tax returns on time, even if you did not have any taxable sales during the reporting period, to avoid being subject to penalties for not filing

Texas Panhandle residents were among those who evacuated South Fork, Colo., along with roughly 400 others, as a massive wildfire threatened the tourist town in Colorado's southwestern mountains on Friday.
Full-time RV traveler and Amarillo native Bill Jacobs had planned to spend the summer in South Fork's Fun Valley Family Resort when he began seeing large plumes of smoke in the distance this week. He received a pre-evacuation notice Friday, and 15 minutes later was told to evacuate.
"I could see the smoke, and it looked like fire, but it was the sun reflecting off of it," Jacobs said. "It was spooky."
Jacobs said he knew of people from Canyon and Canadian who were also forced to leave South Fork because of the blaze.
Wildland firefighters teamed up with local firefighters to try to protect South Fork, which is surrounded by Rio Grande National Forest. State authorities said the 47-square-mile blaze fueled by hot, windy weather is about 7 miles southwest of town and has been advancing at a rate of about a mile an hour. Thick smoke was limiting visibility.
Fire spokeswoman Penny Bertram wouldn't speculate on the likelihood of the town burning. There's a high probability of the fire reaching the town if the fire continues to behave as it has, though crews were staging resources to protect its buildings, she said.
"They're hedging their bets," Bertram said.
More than 30 fire engines have been stationed near the town to protect it. An air tanker also was able to drop slurry ahead of the fire to try to slow its growth and to give firefighters a chance to dig a fire break, Bertram said.
Bertram and state authorities said the fire was several miles away from town by mid-afternoon but headed in its direction.
The town is a popular spot for hiking and camping. The fictional Griswold family camped in South Fork in 1983's "National Lampoon's Vacation." The famous scene where a dog urinates on a picnic basket was filmed at South Fork's Riverbend Resort, called Kamp Komfort in the movie.
Residents were being sent to a high school in a neighboring town.
South Fork's mayor, Kenneth Brooke, sent his children and grandchildren to a safe location and stayed behind, helping several dozen area fire responders prepare for hosing down structures.
Brooke said authorities are allowing him to stay in South Fork until the blaze crests a nearby mountain, expected Friday afternoon. Until then, the mayor was taking phone calls from nervous neighbors and telling them the town's grim forecast.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
"I just tell them it doesn't look good," Brooke said Friday. "I tell them the truth, that the fire is coming. I just tell them to keep themselves safe, evacuate as need be and don't come back.
"We're just watching the fire and doing what we can for people's properties, but mostly it's just waiting. Right now I'm saying, 'Stay out.'"
Bertram said the hot, dry and windy weather along with large stands of beetle-killed trees are causing extreme fire behavior. While most fires actively burn four hours a day, this one is burning for 12 hours a day, helping it to mushroom in recent days.
Firefighters have largely let the lightning-sparked fire burn because it's too hot and erratic to fight on the ground. Water and slurry drops from air tankers also haven't been effective, with pilots reporting that their drops largely evaporated before hitting the ground.
"There's no stopping it," Bertram said.
The town was incorporated in 1992, making it Colorado's youngest municipality. The town lost 11 structures in the 2002 Million Fire, which charred more than 14 square miles.
South Fork residents are accustomed to damaging wildfires, but this year's is shaping up to be the worst, Brooke said.
"Our tourists are what support the town. The fires are going to run everybody away. So that's going to hurt," he said.
It was among several fires burning in Colorado.
In south-central Colorado, nine homes and four outbuildings have been lost in a wildfire in Huerfano County that has evacuated about two dozen residents and more than 170 Boy Scouts since it started Wednesday, fire officials said.
On Thursday, firefighters fully contained what is now the state's most destructive wildfire. The Black Forest Fire destroyed more than 500 homes and killed two people near Colorado Springs.

Chances are, while you're reading this page of the newspaper, I'll be standing in front of my English classes at Amarillo College for the start of the fall semester.
Today is the first day of school for the 2002-03 year. All summer I've been looking forward to today, and as usual, I have a slight case of butterflies.
I'm what's known officially as "adjunct faculty," a phrase that sounds more high class than "part-time instructor." I'm trying to decide why I love this job so.
It sure isn't the pay. Adjunct faculty teach two or three classes instead of the four or five taught by full-timers, but hour for hour, our pay rate is about one-half what full-time faculty make, even if our education and ability are equal.
It isn't the benefits, either. Part-timers can't participate in the health insurance plan. The institution has barely enough office space for full-time faculty, so most part-timers carry our office in a briefcase. We don't get a computer, a telephone number or voice mail.
No matter how good we are, we probably won't win any teaching awards. Our names often are omitted from lists of college faculty. We don't get invited to all the parties.
In fact, in educational journals discussing adjunct faculty, the word "exploitation" often comes up, usually in a resentful tone. Even setting aside the question of whether a person who willingly participates in an exploitative system can claim exploitation (here women and pornography come to mind), any objective assessment of adjunct faculty probably would admit some degree of exploitation is occurring.
And yet we part-timers keep coming back for more. What are we, crazy?
In my case, yes.
I am flat-out crazy about the feeling I get standing here on this first day of class, gazing out at 25 upturned, hopeful faces. They've been invited to participate materially in the American Dream, and they're showing up in droves.
Many of them don't yet suspect what heavy cost success will demand. They're young and full of vinegar and quite a few ridiculous ideas. So was I at that age.
Some will discover the cost of success to be too dear and will drop out.
That's OK - college isn't for everyone. They always can try again next semester or next year.
Most, however, will reach down inside themselves and find discipline they didn't know they had. They'll stick to the task, sacrifice what must be sacrificed, and come away in two or three years with some things they can be proud of: a deeper knowledge of and confidence in themselves, an expanded and more flexible mind, a more mature understanding of the world and what's in it. And an associate's degree.
So yes, I'm crazy. Since I have a spouse who is the main support of our family, I cheerfully do this job for appallingly low pay. Even knowing all I know about exploitation, I count it a privilege to be standing here.
How can you spend time around 19- and 20-year-old young people and not recall the springtime of your own life, when every morning was a spanking fresh beginning? Being around youthful, hopeful energy makes me feel youthful and hopeful and energetic. For a guy in the late summer of his life, that's no small thing.
If a balanced view of adjunct faculty must include the positives as well as the exploitative dimensions of the work, I'd have to say there are more of the former, starting with the fact that being in the classroom is what I love best, and that's really all I'm asked to do.
Nobody ever asks me to head a committee or even BE on a committee. I'm never invited to work overtime or nights, unless you count reading student essays, which I happen to enjoy (I told you I was crazy). There is a bare minimum of meetings - maybe two per year - that require my presence, and these are generally lively and pass quickly.
I teach with a fun group of colleagues, and I have free access to the fitness center. Since I don't have any turf, I don't get drawn into turf wars. I don't know where one professor's turf ends and the adjacent turf begins. I don't want to know.
Here I am on a fine, late August morning. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves outside the classroom window. Just a hint of fall is in the air. In front of me sit 25 expectant, anxious kids, and I'm feeling a little anxious myself but also excited. We're about to go exploring together, they and I, exploring both their inner worlds and the outer world of ideas.
I'm just happy to be here.
