If it's hip in Portland, New York City is sure to copy. First it was artisanal unemployment; then Andy Ricker's Thai food.
Now the Big Apple is aping our paid sick-leave policy.
New York City leaders struck a deal last night mandating that companies offer paid time off for ill employees, over the objections of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The decision comes more than two weeks after Portland City Council passed a more expansive paid sick-leave policy championed by Commissioner Amanda Fritz.
The Oregonian noted this morning that Philadelphia is also close to mimicking Portland's sick-leave rules.
(Yes, Seattle had the policy first. No, let's not talk about that.)
Portland's sick-leave advocates are flattered by the imitation.
"Portland is a leader, and we are now at the forefront of a national movement to advance paid sick leave laws across the state and nation," says Andrea Paluso, executive director of Family Forward Oregon, which pushed for Portland sick leave.
Paluso is hopeful that a sick-leave bill in the Oregon legislature is next to pass.
"As is the way with all major labor standards that have preceded this one," she tells WW in an email, "cities and states will pave the way to a national law that ensures all workers have the right to recover from illness without losing needed income or their job."
Now we just need Brooklyn to buy a Loo.

HOLLAND — The Hope College men's basketball team tipped off the 2011-12 schedule not quite registering on the national radar. The Flying Dutchmen were unranked in the preseason top 25 poll despite a 23-7 finish and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Division III tournament last year.
So much for dismissing them.
Hope is poised to make another substantial leap in the D-III rankings following an overwhelming 84-53 victory against Olivet College on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 2,930 at DeVos Fieldhouse.
Hope, jumping four spots to No. 7 last week, made its debut in the top 10 of the D3Hoops.com poll prior to its matchup against rival Calvin College on Wednesday night. Four of the top six teams in the poll suffered losses during the past week, setting the stage for another leap by the Flying Dutchmen.
"I don't think it means a thing," said Hope coach Matt Neil, shrugging off the significance of perhaps rising into the top 5 this week. "It's really neat that someone thinks that highly of us, but it doesn't help us win games."
Hope (16-1, 6-0 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association) stretched its win streak to 12 games with a predictable rout against Olivet (3-14, 1-5). Its only blemish remains an 80-58 loss to NCAA Division I opponent Western Michigan on Nov. 30 in Kalamazoo.
Senior point guard David Krombeen, a former Grandville High School standout, joined the 1,000-point club in the team's latest win.
He is the second Hope player to score his 1,000th point in the past three games. Senior shooting guard Peter Bunn reached the same milestone against Kalamazoo College on Jan. 14.
Hope was led by junior forward Nate Snuggerud (Zeeland East) with 17 points.
Krombeen had 16 points and six assists and Bunn and Logan Neil (West Ottawa) contributed eight points apiece.
Krombeen and Snuggerud agreed there is no emphasis on rankings. The much bigger goals are an MIAA regular-season championship, an MIAA tournament title and making a deep run at the national title this year.
"You become what you think about. If you think the right way, you have a chance to do that," Neil said of pursuing a national title.
The win represents the 200th combined win between the Hope men's and women's programs at DeVos Fieldhouse. The men are 96-9 since moving from the old home court at the Holland Civic Center.

Tickets: Free, though donations welcome. Go to citymusiccleveland.org or call 216-321-8273.
Conductors weren't important figures in front of orchestras until sometime in the 19th century, when the music became too big for ensemble members to shape works by themselves. So there's nothing particularly strange – in the right pieces – about a modest-sized group of musicians performing as if they were immersed in chamber music.
CityMusic Cleveland is a chamber orchestra that usually has a conductor on hand for guidance, but this week's program allows the players to make all of the decisions. At Wednesday's concert at Fairmount Presbyterian Church in Cleveland Heights, works by Mozart, Weber and Haydn fared extremely well as filtered through the corporate sensibilities of two dozen or so CityMusic musicians.
There was one case in which a conductor would be irrelevant. Carl Maria von Weber's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, Op. 34, was performed in a version with string orchestra that doubles the quartet parts and adds a bass for harmonic foundation.
What made the performance special was the dashing and poetic playing of the soloist, Daniel Gilbert, the orchestra's principal clarinet and former second clarinet of the Cleveland Orchestra. Nothing in Weber's score appeared to faze this intrepid artist, who managed every acrobatic flight with panache and shaded the slow movement like a pensive opera singer.
Superb clarinetist that he is, Gilbert triumphed at the extremities. He sent streams of vibrant sound into space when he wasn't playing at an almost inaudible hush. From the lowest passages to those in the skies, he maintained focus and achieved a spectrum of expressive subtleties.
The small contingent of string players, led by guest concertmaster Aaron Berofsky, interacted with Gilbert on the most intimate scale. They had a chance to sit back and listen when the clarinetist offered a captivating encore, one of Morton Gould's eight "Benny's Gig" duos, with bass player Tracy Rowell.
The orchestra showed prowess on its own in two symphonies. Although Mozart wrote his Symphony No. 26 in his teens, it's a work of remarkable finesse and charm, the three movements played without pause. Haydn's Symphony No. 86 is the creation of a seasoned master full of characteristic wit, suspense and lyricism.
The performances were articulate and flexible, with a real sense of give-and-take amid handsome ensemble and solo playing. The winds made especially fine contributions in the rustic pages of the Haydn, and the communal energy in the finale was infectious.
A conductor might have tinkered a bit with balances, asking the brasses to be mindful of the tiny number of strings. But CityMusic proved that a chamber orchestra can function splendidly when the repertoire is apt and the players are willing to mix liberation with compromise.

FLINT, Michigan — Looks like Sam Riddle will be home for the holidays — on a judge's orders.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the indicted political consultant was ordered by a federal judge to move in with his mother in Flint for the weekend following a charge of felonious assault.
Riddle is accused of pointing a loaded shotgun at his live-in girlfriend, former Rep. Mary Waters, after she found him with another woman.
The Free Press reports:
He also is to abide by a 9 p.m.-7 a.m. curfew, undergo daily alcohol testing, be evaluated by a mental health professional, wear a GPS tether and avoid contact with (Waters)...
As he left the Wayne County Jail, Riddle said in an impromptu news conference outside that "at no point in time was Mary Waters' life in any danger." He called Waters a "very fine lady" whose feelings were hurt by a man trying to "act half his age."
Riddle, who is from Flint, is a former political consultant to former Flint Mayor Don Williamson. He also once ran for mayor of Flint.

BORDEAUX, France, June 29 (UPI) — Impairment of the brain's ability to react to changes — synaptic plasticity — may be linked to addiction, researchers in France said.
Study leaders Pier Vincenzo Piazza and Olivier Manzoni and colleagues at the Neurocentre Magendie in Bordeaux, a unit of the Institut national de la sante et de la recherche medicale, said impairment of synaptic plasticity caused new learning to cease. Behavior became more rigid and drug consumption became more compulsive.
The study, published in Science, used rats — mammals that share with humans the proclivity to self-administer cocaine. However, only a small number of rodents — or humans — actually become addicted.
The researchers said drug taking changed to genuine addiction when the brain no longer reacted to drug caused changing conditions. In some, this loss of plasticity happened after only short term cocaine use. However, all who used the drug long-term did lose plasticity.
"Understanding the biological mechanisms which enable adaptation to the drug and which help the user to maintain a controlled consumption could provide us with the tools to combat the anaplastic state that leads to addiction," the study authors said in a statement.

No siree. Christ-welcoming metalcore giants August Burns Red are getting in the act as well with a Sunday Chameleon Club show.
Tickets are $20. Doors open at 5 p.m.
Opening are the usual Lancaster metalcore suspects: Circus Circus, Texas in July, We Were Skeltons and Lucy.
Also playing are Harrisburg's An Early Ending and Baltimore's Rest Among Ruins.
If you haven't already bought tickets then get to stepping. August Burns Red is by far the area's most popular musical export.
Maybe you don't know what ABR sounds like. Maybe you think metalcore is too growly and too scary.
Would it surprise you to know that you've probably heard an ABR song on your television over the past few weeks?
That's right, August Burns Red's take on the Yuletide favorite "Carol of the Bells" has accompanied television trailers for Frank Miller's promising police-superhero film "The Spirit."
The same film that stars Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes in their first collaboration since the celluloid classic "My Brother the Pig."
"But that can't be a current musical group," you might have thought. "I could have sworn it was the Mannheim Steamroller or the Trans-Siberian Orchestra."
Those thoughts would have been wrong. Maybe further listens would have brought out the menace. It has for me. Judge for yourself below:

AUBURN HILLS – The Detroit Pistons will go from playing an Israeli powerhouse to the two-time defending NBA champions in their first two preseason games.
But the opponent doesn't matter to new coach Maurice Cheeks.
He's more concerned with his own club.
And that's what he'll be focusing on when the Pistons open the preseason Tuesday night at The Palace against Maccabi Haifa from Israel before hosting the Miami Heat Thursday.
Maccabi Haifa posted a 44-27 record last season en route to the Israeli Basketball Super League championship.
"I don't know anything about them but I think we're mainly going to focus on ourselves," Cheeks said Monday. "That's what most teams do anyway. That's what I'm going to do in these preseason games.
"I'm going to focus on the things we can do and try and control and do the things we're going to try and do in the upcoming season as opposed to worrying about whether they run 20 screen and rolls and 30 down screens.
"We're going to try and do the things we're capable of doing."
Greg Monroe is questionable for the game after missing the end of practice Monday with a sore hamstring and other than Andre Drummond and Josh Smith, Cheeks said he didn't know who would be in the starting lineup.
The Heat will obviously provide more of a challenge for the Pistons. But what exactly are they looking to get out of the game against an unknown like Maccabi Haifa?
"Just continue to build the camaraderie, just continue to build on what we've been working on in practice, see effort, everybody sticking together, playing together, learning each other," said veteran guard Chauncey Billups. "Typical things you go through in the preseason.
"You get to play against somebody else. Instead of us competing against one and other, beating each other up every day, you get to play against somebody else."

HOLLAND TWP. — For the first time, Holland Township is likely to be taxing its property owners to support the municipal government.
For many years the township was getting so much state revenue linked to hosting the Gilbert Generating Station, that, as Mayor Anthony Roselle said, the township was helping to fund the schools. That revenue is $2.7 million this year.
For about 10 years the township has been helping to fund its budget with money from its surplus fund, which was as deep as $9.5 million at the end of 2005. But at the end of last year it was down to $1.8 million.
The 2014 township budget that was introduced on Wednesday evening calls for a property-tax rate of 9.5 cents per $100 of assessed value or $95 per $100,000 of assessed value. Of course, township residents have already been paying property taxes, but they have been in support of the schools and the county.
Salaries and employee benefits account for 61 percent of the 2014 budget. It calls for spending of $5,365,467, which is up 3.8 percent from last year. That sum includes a $443,405 reserve for uncollected taxes and $525,000 for capital improvements and equipment. But it does not include anything for debt service because the township is debt-free.
On the revenue side, besides the state aid, are $596,579 from the new property tax, $1,346,453 from surplus and other local revenues of $711,500.
Although paying any municipal tax at all may come as a jolt to township residents, Township Committee Committeeman Ray Krov pointed out for comparison's sake that the 2013 municipal tax rates in neighboring municipalities were 20.9 cents in Alexandria, 20.4 cents in Union and 66.5 cents in Milford — and none of those municipalities are paying for a police force.
Maryann Sajor, one of the residents who came to the meeting at the Riegel Ridge Community Center looking for explanations, said, "Even though we're not happy, we left understanding why (the tax) is going to be necessary." She said she appreciated learning how the current situation evolved.
She was also impressed with some of the economy measures taken over the past few years that were enumerated at the meeting. A few of them are: using some part-time police officers and DPW workers, eliminating a police sergeant position and a full-time management position at Riegel Ridge Community Center, cutting hours of some municipal offices, eliminating some street lights and finding ways to buy materials for less.
A public hearing and possible adoption of this year's budget has been scheduled for the Township Committee meeting that will start at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 28. It will be held in the Municipal Building on Church Road.

text: I seem to be having a problem with the powder die not belling the cases consistently. It seems to be about 1 out of every 5 or 6 are not belled sufficiently and I end of with the OAL being too long. It seems to be dispensing powder correctly even when not belling the case. The die is sufficiently tight on the toolhead and the screws that hold the powder dispenser to the die are tight as well. Any idea what would cause this?

Guys does anyone have an accurate updated SHORT count of shares and accurate % of float that the Shorts have on SKUL. I am looking at how this $28 Million Share Buyback in 2013 by Skull Mangement could really help the stock price take off. I think people are not realizing the value of the company buying back between 5 and 6 million shares at these prices...This could trigger a serious SHORT Squeeze in my opinion..
Short interest is 3.55 million shares. Float is 16 million shares. Short interest is ~22% of float. There are ~ 28 million shares outstanding. Short interest is ~ 12.5% of total shares outstanding.
All the info is readily available on the Nasdaq website.
I would think they are going to be careful about a buyback until earnings turn positive again (Q3) and utilize any free cash for R&D and other related "reset" items first.
ZAGG just F'd it up and bought back shares and the stock tanked based on profitability. That stock has a significantly higher short interest then SKUL.
Thanks Michael it looks like the Short Interest is starting to dry up in SKUL a bit and it looks there is bottom resistance here at around $5.00. When Management does decide to do this buyback that is around 5 Million shares out of a 16 million share float. This could definitely trigger a SHORT Squeeze if the Share Buybacks are timed properly..
SKUL will bounce back over $7.00 this year with this buyback IMO.

Speed Racer
More people remember the 1960s Japanese import cartoon "Speed Racer" for its catchy theme song than its stories or characters. The movie adaptation, helmed by "Matrix" superstars the Wachowski brothers, follows the same track with little character development and not much story story.
Instead, the Wachowskis set out to create a eye candy with over-the-top races and a hybrid of "Matrix" martial arts and "Three Stooges" slapstick. This amounts to an exhilarating 30 minutes, James Sanford says, but the movie wears out its welcome as it stretches longer than two hours.
As the long race unfolds, the all-star cast doesn't get to do much. Emile Hirsch ("Into the Wild"), Christina Ricci ("Black Snake Moan") and Matthew Fox ("Lost") are merely stick figures that look good driving cars or piloting helicopters.

What Happens in Vegas
Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz play down-on-their-luck New Yorkers who get hitch during an alcohol-fueled evening in Las Vegas. Before they can get the marriage annulled, they win a $3 million jackpot. They take the problem to a judge, who sentences them to six months of living together.
What ensues is a clash of personalities as each tries to sabotage the other's chances at the money. Along the way, Kutcher and Diaz never seem to be having much fun, and their characters fail to develop any on-screen chemistry. With a predictable story, a few stereotypes and some junior-high humor, "What Happens in Vegas" is nowhere near as entertaining as what really happens in Vegas.
Still, some Hollywood types are saying "What Happens in Vegas" could beat "Speed Racer" at the box office. If we were in Vegas, we'd put money on "Iron Man," a better bet for an action fix or a date movie.
Read reviews: James Sanford | John Serba
If "Never Back Down" was a mixed martial arts movie for pea brains, Grand Rapids Press critic John Serba Says, "Redbelt" is a mixed martial arts movie for smart people. "Redbelt" ditches the Hollywood glitz for gritty realism and the masterful dialog of luminary writer/director David Mamet.
It's the story of a Jiu-Jitsu instructor (Chiwetel Ejiofor - "Serenity," "Children of Men") who believes in honor and principle. His philosophy is tested in a tangle of characters an events that involve a distressed woman shooting out the window of his dojo and him saving a movie star (a strong performance from Tim Allen) in a bar fight. Ultimately, he must decide whether to abandon his principles and compete in a martial arts tournament.
"Redbelt" is the best new movie this week and a sure bet for film buffs eager to escape the crowded theaters of the summer blockbusters.
New on DVD
"P.S. I Love You" - Wondering why this Hilary Swank stinker made James Sanford's worst of 2007 list? Save yourself the agony of renting the DVD and just listen to the podcast. There's plenty more bad comedies on the shelf this week with "Over Her Dead Body" and "The Hottie and the Nottie."
"I'm Not There" - This experimental look at the life of Bob Dylan isn't out to educate you like a typical biography. Instead, you get an abstract portrait with Dylan plaid by a slew of top actors including Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Richard Gere and Cate Blanchett (who was nominated for an Oscar for the role) in different times and places.
Not many people in Michigan got a chance to see this biopic about the British band Joy Division, but James Sanford named it one of the best movies of 2007. Southeast Michigan residents will get a chance tonight as "Control" shows at Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater.
Listen up!
This week in the podcast, our discussion of the juvenile humor in "What Happens in Vegas" points out some of the hilarious city names in Michigan. We'd like to thank the people of Bangor and Flushing for being such good sports. And out sincerest apologies go to Climax, Mich., which we forgot to mention.

The Americans avenged their pool play loss to the Iroquois, who defeated the U.S. 15-13 on Tuesday. It was the first time an Iroquois team had ever beaten the Americans in a field lacrosse competition.
The Iroquois, who have played from behind in earlier games against the U.S. and Canada, jumped out to a 3-0 lead against the Americans in the semifinals.The U.S. found its legs and its offense and played to a 3-3 tie at the end of the first quarter and a 5-5 tie at halftime.
The U.S. advances to the championship game Saturday against Canada, which defeated England 15-4 in the other semifinal on Thursday. The Iroquois will play England on Saturday in a game for third place.
Pontrello, who is from St. Augustine Prep (N.J.), erupted for three consecutive goals in the first period to give the U.S. a cushion it would never lose.
The Americans changed goalies in the second half. Kyle Turri (Duke, West Islip) made five saves in the fourth quarter to preserve the U.S. victory.
Onondaga Community College star Randy Staats had three goals and an assist for the Iroquois. Lyle Thompson from the Onondaga Nation and LaFayette High School had a goal and an assist. Goalie Warren Hill, who will play at OCC next season, had 16 saves for the Iroquois.

It's easy to look at the Philadelphia Eagles' games this year and say the team is just a play or two away from being 0-4. That may be the case, but in the National Football League, a win is a win, and the Eagles are 3-1 and sitting at sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
Andy Reid spent much of the offseason upgrading some of the key problematic units that plagued the team for so much of 2011, and it's paying off. The linebackers are much improved, the defensive line is a better all-around unit, and the offense is once again firing on all cylinders.
There have also been some problems that can't continue—turnovers have been a constant and the injuries to the offensive line keep piling up. With that in mind, here's a look at which positional units on the Eagles are doing well and which aren't.

quad 71 or quad 66
First of all, Congratulations for creating Quad. I have Quad 76, and I have sailed once with 5.2, once with 4.7 and once with 4.3 sails, enjoying my wave windsurfing like never before.
The last day with 4.3 sail , during morning session, the wind was the proper for this sail and the board feels perfect in those conditions. But afternoon wind began to increase reaching at the end, gusts of 40 and 45 knots.
I have a 3.5 and a 3.9 sails, but it seemed to me that it was to much for quad 76. I took my Da Curve 73 (Tabou) but wind was too strong and gusty to enjoy myself.
My intention is to buy another smaller quad, but I don't know if 71 or 66.
What I'm searching is the best for 4.3 and 3.9, and able to be sailed confortablely with 3.5, but only in very few occasions.
I sail in winter in Mallorca. We don't have the better conditions. When the wind is strong , it is always gusty too, and that's why I doubt about the convenience of Quad 66 for these conditions. In fact, if you think 71 can be ridden confortablely with a 3.5, then I prefer it than 66.
I'm used to reduce fin (in single fin boards) when wind increases ( in Da curve I used 24, 22, 20 and 19 cms. fins since 5.2 to 3.5 sails) and maybe quad 71 with the set of 13-11 cms works really well with 3.5 sail.
I'm 70 kg. when dry.
Thanks and Congratulations again

The Morning Read: Jason Statham set to bust heads as 'Parker'
Welcome to The Morning Read.
Jason Statham as Donald Westlake's Parker, huh? If you're not familiar with the author or the character, you still might have seen at least one of the previous films based on the material. Mel Gibson adapted it with "Payback," John Boorman's "Point Blank" featured Lee Marvin in the role, and the craziest version of the book is Ringo Lam's "Full Contact." There are a total of 24 books in the Parker series, but for some reason, we keep getting loose adaptations of The Hunter, the first book in the series. And now, according to Variety, we're getting another one, with Taylor Hackford set to direct, and with Jason Statham set to play the role. That's pretty good casting, but they're going to have to work hard to wring something new out of this particular piece of material. In addition to all of the previous film versions, there's also an outstanding comic adaptation by Darwyn Cooke that was published not long ago, so it's definitely a book that has been interpreted and reinterpreted already. Even so, this looks like the first adaptation that's actually using the character's name, and it makes me wonder… if this first one works, will they move forward with Statham in more films based on other books in the series?
And in the meantime, how about a long-lost Donald Westlake book to tide you over?
Any morning that starts off with a list of the five best fights of Donnie Yen since the year 2000 is going to be a good morning.
Some interesting and surprisingly frank observations on the way social media plays into the life of a showrunner in today's media landscape from Bill Lawrence, the co-creator of "Cougar Town."
I have not seen "Atlas Shrugged." I'm almost hesitant to mention it at all, since simply typing out the title seems to attract crazed Randians, determined to shout down anyone who does not agree that both book and film are the greatest things ever created. It happened to Cole Abaius when he reviewed the film, and now he's gone back for another dip in the cesspool with a piece about the one thing he feels could have saved the movie.
I love that the person who posted this was not from OKCupid, but is in fact the guy who wrote them to complain that they had Spanish on their website. Amazing. If this guy took out an ad in the NY Times saying, "I am an idiot," he could not have advertised his own idiocy any better.

No, this isn't sending insane messages about body shape at all.
This is why I don't mind when I like something that a number of other critics hate. It's because I know time is on my side, and because I'm just arrogant enough after a lifetime of watching movies I love gradually find audiences to believe that I'm on the right side of these things more often than not. Can't wait for everyone to finally come around on "Your Highness"…
Of course Matt Zoller Seitz wrote a great piece about Ernie Kovacs. First, it's Matt Zoller Seitz. Second, it's Ernie Kovacs. There's really no way you go wrong with any part of that equation.
And while we're on the subject of Mr. Seitz, I'm impressed by the way he takes down the idea that fantasy cannot be serious, or worthy of real consideration.
Easily the thing I regret the most about not being at ActionFest this year was missing the chance to interview Buddy Joe Hooker, and watching this highlight reel that was cut for the fest by Mark Hartley just makes that worse:
Sequels with more than a decade between them can be fascinating, because filmmaking changes so much from decade to decade. Here's a list of 15 films with huge gaps between episodes, the longest of which is 64 years.
And I think one of my main issues with "Scream 4" is articulated well by the central thesis of Devin's piece here. After this long away from the series, is it enough to just do a sequel that's the same type of film, or did they need to go further to ground "Scream 4" in the moment?

Storm destroys 80-year-old barn
GREEN SPRINGS – A storm that blew through the area this week took down a barn that had stood in Pleasant Township for about 80 years and once had housed a milking stable.
Marna Barto, who owned the barn at 3650 E. TR 164 with her husband, Larry, said the barn just folded over.
"(The barn) was huge," she said.
The barn had housed a semi truck, dump truck, machinery, pickup truck and mower. Equipment that had been inside when the storm hit was being used for the clean-up efforts Thursday afternoon.
Marna and Larry live in the house next door to the property where their barn had stood. Marna said she couldn't sleep because the family planned to leave for Canada at 4 a.m. The storm hit about 11:30 p.m., and she said she felt shuddering.
The storm broke off a pole, which was fixed Thursday morning. Also, branches had to be hauled away.
"(Trees) grow back," Marna said.
Marna said the family was thankful for people around the area who came to help. The family also received a discount on purchases at a local store Thursday.
Becky Berry, Marna's sister-in-law, lived in the house near the barn while growing up and moved back into it three weeks ago. She said the storm could have hit the house.
"Nobody was hurt," she said.
Several miles away in Adams Township, Melissa and Adam Cook of 7927 TR 32 woke up, looked at each other and decided they needed to be in the basement. Adam said there was a gust, then a calm and then rain.
He had gone outside, looking for the family's dog, and saw the damage. A tree had fallen on the couple's propane tank, breaking off the valve. The tank was leaking, and Green Springs Volunteer Fire Department responded.
A flashlight helped Melissa and Adam assess the damage.
"There were branches everywhere," Melissa said.
The storm crushed the family's wood burner, forced solar lights into the field and knocked down a spruce tree measuring about 50 feet tall. Also, the back window of a car was smashed.
Family and friends spent Thursday cleaning up the yard and making a pile for a fire.
"Our house wasn't very damaged," Melissa said.

|Re: [TowerTalk] The Vertical and the Balun
|Steve Hunt <firstname.lastname@example.com>
|Fri, 16 May 2008 09:31:14 +0100
Many years ago I used a 50ft vertical on 160m quite successfully. Top loading was key to its success. I top-loaded it using 6 equally spaced wires which came away at 45 degrees from the vertical and formed part of the guying arrangement. Adding "perimeter wires", which joined up the ends of these radial hat wires, increased the capacitance considerably. I found an old 1930s IERE paper which showed that there is an optimum size for this type of "hat". Too small and there's not enough capacity; too big and the vertical component of current in the 45 degree radial wires (which opposes the current in the vertical) begins to lower Rrad again. I had some fun slotting the radials in the lawn one-by-one and measuring the feedpoint R drop at each stage. I gave up with exhaustion once the graph levelled out :) The whole excersise was published in RSGB's RadCom magazine. Another Ham I worked with took a different approach: he top-loaded his mast with a 160m mobile-whip loading coil and top section. The clever bit was his mechanical arrangement for auto-tuning the top section. This was way before the days of "screwdriver" antennas. 73.

Islanders take second in tournament
The MIFC Islanders girls under-13 soccer team brought home second place from the Starfire Spring Classic tournament during the last weekend of April.
The team won two games, lost one and tied twice during the tournament, coach Toby Suhm said. He added that while the girls were disappointed with the overall outcome, they were proud of the way they made it through a tough field of competitors to get to the finals. Suhm said in the four tournaments which the team has entered in the past year, they have made four tournament finals appearances and have brought back one title and three second-place finishes.

text: I just bought a nice Soundcraft EPM6 mixer and see that it has a T1AL-250v fuse. From searching on the net this seems to be a very common fuse on electronic stuff coming out of the UK. I'm in North America and I can't find anyone on the net that lists these fuses (tried Mouser, Allied, Radio Shack, Digi-key etc). Nor can I find any conversion chart to something equivalent. I can't even find a specification for the fuse, even in the UK. The mixer is new so I don't need a fuse right away but would like to have one on hand. Can someone provide me me an American equivalent to the T1AL fuse ? Thanks. Paul P

South Whidbey wrestling ready to start season today
South Whidbey High School did not travel to compete in the Forks Tournament last weekend. The snow during the week of Thanksgiving cancelled school and after-school activities and did not give the wrestlers the mandatory minimum of 10 practices before a match.
Coach Jim Thompson chose to forgo make-up two-a-day practices to keep his team healthy and well-rested before today's Port Townsend Tournament.

So when does fiscal conservatism cross the line into ideological inflexibility?
That's the question facing Gov. Tom Corbett as a growing list of Republican governors sign onto the Medicaid expansion authorized by the federal Affordable Care Act.
In an appearance before the PennLive/Patriot-News editorial board on Wednesday, the Republican underlined his opposition to adding about a half-million eligible Pennsylvanians to the state's rolls.
"I can't recommend it at this time," Corbett said, even as news broke that Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who will never have to worry about being seen as a tax-and-spend liberal, had signed the Sunshine State up for the expansion.
The joint state-federal program provides health care for the poor and disabled. It's considered one of the three pillars of the social safety net. Medicare for seniors and Social Security are the other two. In Pennsylvania, the program is known as Medical Assistance and it's administered by the state Department of Public Welfare.
Under federal rules, states can expand their Medicaid rolls to take in a family of three with an income of about $26,000 or $15,000 for an individual. The law calls for Washington to cover 100 percent of the cost for the first three years and 90 percent after that.
Other GOP governors with fire-breathing reputations, including Arizona's Jan Brewer and John Kasich of Ohio have also opted for the expansion, leaving some political observers wondering why Corbett is the outlier on the issue, putting him in the company of Louisiana's Bobby Jindal.
"It's ideology and petulance," Jim Hoefler, a political science professor at Dickinson College in Carlisle, said, offering one explanation. "I just think he's being stubborn about it."
Corbett's opposition is hardly unexpected. He was among the state attorneys general who filed a constitutional challenge to the law in 2010 on the grounds that it wrongly forced people to buy insurance coverage. The U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the law is still a sticking point for its opponents.
This week, Corbett said he's not convinced that Washington will honor its funding commitments and that the cost to state taxpayers, about $221 million, is too high.
"I am very hesitant to believe the federal government will do the whole thing and then go to 90 percent," Corbett said. "They have a track record of not keeping their promises. It's not free money, unless in Washington they're printing the dollars. It's not free money. I'm wary of making commitments that will cost the taxpayers more money."
But the cost of inaction could be equally high.
Legislative Democrats have argued that Corbett's intractability on the issue will cost the state jobs and hospitals money because they'll be providing more service for people without insurance. In the trade, it's a phenomenon known as "uncompensated care."
Those complaints were buttressed this week by a new report from Families USA, a group that advocated for the original reform law. The report concluded that the expansion would create about 41,200 new jobs across the economy and generate about $5.1 billion in new economic activity in the state by 2016. The expansion could also cut uncompensated care costs by about $878 million between now and 2022, the report concluded.
More important than even the economic impact, however, is that the expansion would open the doors to coverage to people who, because of wages and station, who would not be fully subsidized by the federally run insurance exchange set to open in Pennsylvania in 2014.
This population includes minimum wage workers – hairdressers, waitresses, hospitality workers – whose employers might not offer health coverage, said Antoinette Kraus of the Pennsylvania Health Access Network. Many of these same people lost their coverage when the administration shut down the long-running adultBasic program in 2011.
While Corbett cites the state's still precarious budget situation for his justification for taking a pass on the expansion, there is an undeniable political component to it as well.
With poll numbers showing he is still vulnerable among Republicans, Corbett could be also seeking to shore up support among the GOP's conservative base. Those voters make up the bulk of the 2014 primary electorate and they remain vociferously opposed to a program they deride as "Obamacare."
"He wants a signature moment that he can break out," to skeptical conservatives, said Christopher Borick, a pollster and political science professor at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. "That's a push that he's going to need."
Corbett faces a potential challenger in Montgomery County Commissioner Bruce Castor. And the governor has long had trouble among grassroots Republicans. Taking a pass on expanding an expensive entitlement program is sure to play well to those voters and take away a potential club from Castor.
It could be harder for Corbett to explain his opposition to a general election electorate that also includes moderates from the Philadelphia suburbs. Those voters tend to be fiscally conservative, but more forgiving on social issues.
"You'd better have a really strong case for what you're doing now," Borick said. "He'll be fighting that in the court of public opinion for quite a while."
So that's the road Corbett walks now, a narrow one between fiscal responsibility and ideological rigidity. While there's short-term payoff, it's a journey that could haunt him in the long run.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Pop songs have been written about love, and loss, and the girl across the room, and the boy who broke her heart, and, of course, cars...all kinds of cars. But hospitals?
Not yet, but soon.
MetroHealth is asking local musicians to create an original song about MetroHealth and submit a video entry for consideration. The writer of the best song gets $2,500.
Finalists, chosen by a panel of judges, must agree to perform at a family-friendly, outdoor music festival at MetroHealth's main campus on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 13. Each finalist will be given 30 minutes to perform a short set including the MetroHealth song. In exchange for the prize money, MetroHealth will have rights to the song and work with the winner on possible future performances.
"As part of our campus transformation, we want to be more involved with our neighbors and the local business community," says Communications Manager Diane Suchetka. "This will show them what we offer, bring them together in a safe, fun environment and let them know that MetroHealth is about a lot more than keeping people physically healthy. Having fun is good for you, too."
Interested bands must attend or send a representative to an information session at the hospital's main campus on Tuesday, July 15, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. to hear the rules, learn what makes the hospital a vital part of Cleveland and receive written material that will help inform their lyrics.

New Jersey's on-again, off-again decision to furlough state employees produced an odd day today for workers compensation judges.
Even though their courthouses were open, no cases were heard because a planned furlough day was called off at the last minute and there wasn't enough time to reschedule hearings.
Full Star-Ledger coverage of the N.J. budget
About 2,000 cases were taken off today's docket after the state's Labor and Workforce Development Department was notified it would be on furlough.
But the unpaid vacation day was canceled after Gov. Jon Corzine's administration reached an agreement with the state's largest public employee union, the Communications Workers of America, said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for the department.
"With negotiations pending, all furlough days were put on hold. That was statewide, it wasn't just the Labor Department," Smith said.
Once the furlough day was dropped, "it was too late to schedule the hearings" again, Smith said. Workers' compensation cases are set 17 days before their court date. That left the courtrooms empty.
Gerry Rotella, a Livingston lawyer, said that with such "short notice," it was "impractical" to plan for a day in court. He said there was some work he could do for his clients, "but we can't move any of our workers' compensation cases in court."
The workers' compensation system is designed to guarantee prompt medical treatment and partial wage replacement to workers who get hurt on the job. The cases are heard by workers compensation judges.
Since the spring, the issue of furloughs has pitted Corzine against state workers. The state has fought for the right to dole out unpaid vacation days, in court and in lengthy negotiations.
In Corzine's most recent agreement brokered with the CWA, workers will take 10 unpaid furlough days in the budget year that begins July 1 in exchange for his pledge to avoid layoffs until after December 2010. Workers will also be able to pick up to seven paid leave days, for use after June 30, 2010, and will not lose pension benefits because of furloughs and wage deferral.
Until the deal is official, the planned June furlough days for state departments are on hold.

PARSIPPANY — A 26-year-old Plainfield woman is accused of selling sex, as police continue to crack down on prostitution in the township.
Idenisse Mendez was arrested at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Howard Johnson motel on Route 46, Parsippany Police Officer Earl Kinsey said. Mendez has been charged with promoting prostitution, he said.
An undercover investigation led to the arrest, he said.
It was the second recent prostitution-related arrest at the motel. On May 21, police arrested four in connection with prostitution following an undercover sting.
Also that day, a woman was arrested and charged with prostitution at the Days Inn, which is also on Route 46.

Unit 65 (065)
1. Earliest Flowering Bulbs
This unit cover some of the genera with the earliest flowering spring bulbs. These can
spread and be naturalized in a lawn or garden bed.
All of these bulbs can be planted in annual beds, and then the annuals can be planted
among them. The bulb leaves should be left to die down naturally to build up the
bulbs for next season.
Remember, flowering times vary from season to season. You need to keep your
own flowering time records to know the best flower season in your area.
1.) Eranthis hyemalis or Winter Aconite is a very early bulb that flowers from mid March
to early April, but may flower in late February some years. The flower petals are
small tubular nectaries and the sepals are petal like. The flowers bright yellow and
waxy looking, which is typical of the Ranunculaceae or Buttercup family. The buttercup
family flowers also have very numerous stamens. The plants are only 2 to 6 inches tall
with one whorl of leaves below the flowers.
2.) Galanthus nivalis or Snowdrops is another early bulb that flowers a few weeks after
Eranthis, usually in mid March to early April. Each flower stalk bears only one white
flower. The inner petals of the flowers have green markings near the tips. The plants
are only 3 to 6 inches tall.
3.) Helleborus niger or Christmas Rose and Helleborus orientalis or Lenten Rose,
flower early and sometimes under the snow. Flowers are rose like and white, green,
pink, or purple. They flower from March to April. The plants are 1 to 2 ft. tall.
