Good Tuesday Morning, Fellow Seekers.
So this is it: The commercials have been aired. The charges have been hurled. The money has been spent. And the voters have been pestered.
And all that's left now are for Pennsylvanians to troop dutifully to the polls to cast their ballots in races ranging from state House, Congress, Democratic and Republican State Committee, lieutenant governor, and, of course, governor.
If you're a member of a political party, we hope you'll get out and exercise your no-ID Required franchise today. It takes no time at all, and you'll help keep the wheels of the democracy rolling along.
If you're not a member of a political party, we also hope you'll get involved by calling your local state lawmaker to tell him or her that the antiquated state law that locks unaffiliated voters out of the process is ridiculous and needs to be changed. Luckily, just such a bill is in the offing.
If you're confused about whom to vote for or need some more information, please allow us to refer you to PennLive's handy-dandy voters' guide, which contains all you need to know about the plethora of candidates on the ballot around the Midstate today.
In the meantime, we continue an Election Day tradition begun in the far-off days of 2005 when we first started writing the Capitol Ideas blog for The Morning Call of Allentown.
Here's the best power-pop combo to come out of Memphis since Big Star. It's The Shazam and "Super Tuesday."

Oprah Winfrey turns 60 on Wednesday, but everyone's talking about Christie Brinkley's swimsuit figure this week -- and the supermodel turns the same age on Super Bowl Sunday. Brinkley appears on the cover of the new issue of People magazine wearing a turquoise one-piece bathing suit, looking just as stunning as she did when she first graced the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition in the '70s. "I'm actually excited about turning 60," she told People. "I feel on top of my game." Brinkley credits her youthful looks to her children (Alexa Ray Joel, 28; Jack Brinkley-Cook, 18; Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 15) who encourage her to keep fit and healthy. Brinkley and other beauties will be featured in a "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit: 50 Years of Beautiful" TV special on NBC this Monday.

Who would be dumb enough to kidnap Liam Neeson's family again? Forest Whitaker, perhaps. Neeson, 61, is set to return as Bryan Mills in "Taken 3" with Olivier Megaton ("Taken 2") returning as director and the same writers as the first two films. Whitaker is in talks to join Maggie Grace, who plays Neeson's daughter, but it's unclear whether he'll be a good guy or a bad guy. Another sequel shouldn't surprise anyone, though, since both "Taken" movies grossed $600 million worldwide on less than a $50 million budget each. Neeson's expected to get $20 million for his "particular set of skills" this time.

Late notice could cost SKSD $70,000
The South Kitsap School District will still make the Aug. 18 primary ballot, despite one of its candidates being ineligible.
And the gaffe will cost an estimated $70,000.
Gail Porter filed to run against incumbent Naomi Polen and former school board member Chris Lemke for the District 3 post, but she moved out of the area. When she notified the Kitsap County Auditor's Office about her new address, the June 11 deadline to withdraw had passed.
Kitsap County elections manager Dolores Gilmore said candidates aren't allowed to withdraw beyond that date because they need time to print and distribute ballots. She said military ballots were required to be mailed 30 days prior to the election.
"We're in a race to get everything proofed and to a printer so we can meet that deadline," said Gilmore, adding that Porter didn't inform her office of the address change until July 18.
With just two candidates, a primary election wouldn't have been necessary. Instead, Gilmore said, South Kitsap must share the cost of the primary with other Kitsap jurisdictions, which she estimates will cost about $290,000 total.
South Kitsap has 39,199 registered voters out of 119,000 overall in this election, and Gilmore said the district bears a proportionate amount of that expense. And unlike other cities in the area, there are no city council races, which means Port Orchard isn't obligated to share in the expense.
It's another obstacle for a district that already had to find ways to close a projected $6.8 million deficit.
"I think most laws are put into place to better our society," school board president Patty Henderson said. "Sometimes there are some unintended and unfair consequences."
Henderson, now in the third year of her second term, actually moved after she was elected the first time from McCormick Woods to District 1, which serves downtown Port Orchard, Gorst and Sunnyslope. She was able to retain her position under state law for the remainder of that term because she had already been elected.
Henderson then ran in her new district and was reelected.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Auburn blasted four home runs in an eight-run fifth inning, two from Hunter Morris, before hanging on for an 8-7 win over No. 7 Arkansas Saturday.
Slade Smith picked up his first career SEC win in relief for the Tigers (29-15, 11-9 SEC), which evened the series with SEC West-leading Arkansas (35-9, 14-6).
Auburn had to overcome an early three-run deficit before holding off the second-best offense in the SEC, which stranded the game-tying and game-winning runs in the bottom of the ninth.
Smith threw 5Ò innings, allowing three runs on six hits.
Arkansas made quick work of Auburn starter Stephen Kohlscheen as Brett Eibner hit his second three-run homer of the series in the first.
The Tigers took control of the game in the fifth. Morris led off with a solo home, Ryan Jenkins and Dan Gamache hit back-to-back solo shots, chasing Razorbacks starter Randall Fant.
The inning got even worse for Arkansas reliever Jeremy Heatley, who allowed four runs on three hits while recording just one out. After Heatley retired Justin Hargett, Justin Fradejas singled and Trent Mummey was hit by a pitch to put two on for Brian Fletcher, who doubled to the wall. Morris then crushed his 15th homer of the season.
Auburn will try to win a second consecutive series in Fayetteville when it sends lefty Grant Dayton (4-2, 5.14) to the mound at 1 p.m. today against Arkansas' Brett Eibner (3-3).
ALABAMA 6, SOUTH CAROLINA 4: In Columbia, S.C., Alabama left-hander Adam Morgan pitched the Crimson Tide past No. 3 South Carolina to even the three-game SEC series.
The sophomore pitched into the eighth inning and allowed four runs and eight hits with eight strikeouts. He left the game with one out in the eighth following Christian Walker's two-run home run that closed UA's lead to 5-4.
South Carolina (33-9, 15-5 SEC) took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on Parker Bangs' two-run double to left.
But Alabama scored five runs on six hits in the second inning to take a 5-2 lead. The Crimson Tide had five straight one-out hits in the inning off USC starter Sam Dyson; Cody Trotter, Cal Tinsley and Taylor Dugas hit consecutive RBI singles, and Josh Rutledge followed with a clutch two-out, two-run hit.
Alabama and South Carolina wrap up the series today at 12:30 p.m. (CT).
LSU-SHREVEPORT 15, MOBILE 3: The host Pilots ripped the Rams for 12 hits to end Mobile's regular season at 20-32 and 13-21 in the GCAC. The conference tournament begins Wednesday in Ridgeland, Miss.

Theologian of the Hermits of the Order of Saint Augustine, born according to the chroniclers of his order, at Udine, about 1368; died at Venice, 15 June, 1428. He made his religious profession in the Convent of Saint Stephen, Venice, whence the name, Venetus. In 1390 he is said to have been sent to Oxford for his studies in theology, but returned to Italy, and finished his course at Padua. He lectured in the University at Padua during the first quarter of the fifteenth century. His writings, aside from any question of their present worth, show a wide knowledge and interest in the scientific problems of his time. Besides the usual lectures on the four books of "Sentences", sermons, and instructions, he wrote "De Conceptione B. Mariae Virginis", "De quadratura circuli", "De circulis componentibus mundum", "Logica parva et logica magna". This last, also known as "Logica Duplex", was largely used as a textbook during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and was several times reprinted. Paulus was one of the theologians called to Rome in 1427, by Martin V, to take cognizance of the charges brought against St. Bernardine of Siena , occasioned by the preaching of the "new devotion" to the Holy Name.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Tolls to Manhattan going up
Costly details continued to trickle out for motorists who use the Hudson River and Staten Island crossings. They are likely to see see cash tolls rise to $8 from $6, with E-ZPass discounts available only during off-peak hours, transportation officials familiar with the increases said Tuesday.
Base fares on the PATH rail system also will jump, to $2 per trip from $1.50, but riders will still be able to pay the current fare by purchasing a 20- or 40-ride ticket. PATH riders who buy those discount tickets now pay $1.20 per ride.
The monthly meeting is set for 2 p.m. Thursday at the agency's Manhattan headquarters.

I had a blast . It was a great show and the venue was nice. Sound man did a great job for all the bands.
KUKQPhoenix.Com presents "6 Rounds of Punk" featuring the Misfits, the Vandals, Strung Out, Not For You, Guttermouth and the Attack. KUKQ's local battle of the bands winner starts the show.
With their iconic Fiend Club symbol and their trademark sound incorporating '50s rock, sci-fi and horror, the Misfits have made an indelible mark on punk rock, fashion and pop culture. Misfits co-founder/longtime torchbearer Jerry Only celebrates 35 years since the band's inception featuring Only on bass and vocals, former Black Flag guitarist Dez Cadena, and longtime drummer Eric "Chupacabra" Arce (formerly of Murphy's Law). The Misfit's first release in nearly a decade, Devil's Rain (2011), embraced the horror and sci-fi themes that have become their trademark.
The Vandals appeared in Orange County in 1980, and quickly became notorious for their frequent out of control shows. While they were often banned from concert venues, they were signed to the young label Epitaph Records, who released their first EP, Peace Thru Vandalism, in 1982. Their goofy songs and adolescent humor clearly paved the way for more popular punk bands like the Offspring and All. With original member Joe Escalante at the reins, the band's popularity that has granted them main-stage appearances on the Warped Tour, attracting newer, younger fans each year.
Hailing from Simi Valley, the five piece power punks known as Strung Out have been rocking out since the early 90's with their punk/metal fusion. With years of expertise in crafting musically and thematically consistent albums, it's easy to see why some music aficionados feel Strung Out are miles ahead of the average punk musicians. Earlier this month, drummer Jordon Burns revealed to Punknews.org that Strung Out plans to release a new album in 2013.

HUNTSVILLE, AL. - A 29-year-old Huntsville man was arrested Tuesday on charges of torture and willful abuse of a child, police said.
Police were called to a home in the 2200 block of Atkins Drive about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to police reports. A 13-year-old boy had been sent home from school and the mother left the child with his cousin, police said.
The cousin told the boy her was going to,"...teach him how to behave," police said. An altercation started and police were called to the home, police said. The cousin was arrested and booked into the metro jail, police said.

The board voted 8-1 to table the measure before a packed meeting room. The issue will be addressed again at the board's next meeting, officials said.
The board was set to vote on whether or not the ceremony should be moved from its longtime location at the high school's athletic field to the indoor location at SCC's DuPont Field House in Carneys Point Township.
Many members of the public spoke for both sides of the argument, some saying that students deserved to be a part of the decades-old Pennsville Memorial High School field tradition, and others urging that the move would allow family members and heat-sensitive grandparents to attend the event.
The field house at the college is air conditioned.
For decades, the school celebrated commencement on the green fields of the Lou D'Angelo Stadium on William Penn Avenue, a tradition that many past students remembered with love.
Many such graduates attended the school board meeting and attempted to sway officials to keep the ceremony at PMHS.
"The board and the administration has already killed a lot of our traditions," one resident said. "The only thing we have left is the graduation. Let us keep it."
A PMHS senior student also came to urge the board to keep the ceremony on the Lou D'Angelo Stadium.
"The senior class should be able to walk on our field one last time together," the student said.
Still, other residents argued that the ceremony should be moved to SCC, where the climate would be more comfortable and more family members could be present to witness their loved one's graduation.
In previous years, a ticket limit prevented many family members from attending the ceremony, but the large setting of the college field house would allow a nearly unlimited number of guests to attend the event.
"It would change a tradition, yes, but the students would still be together. If it were to be at SCC, all of the family could be there too," one resident said.
Other residents agreed, noting that their elderly relatives would be forced to turn down their invitation to graduation if they were forced to sit outside in the unbearable heat.
Some residents and school board members agreed that the graduating class should be consulted through an official, anonymous paper vote.
As school officials moved forward with the decision, they took into account the wishes of the Class of 2011 and the urging of residents and chose to suspend the vote.
It was not official whether or not a vote would be made by the Class of 2011.
As both residents and school board officials noted, the value of tradition and the appeal of a comfortable setting were not easy to choose between.
Jones previously said that he himself loved the tradition. "I can't picture graduation without sitting on that 50-yard line at Lou D'Angelo Stadium looking at the great sunset," he had said.
Last year, the administration at Pennsville Memorial High School was forced to make a last-minute decision to move the 2010 graduation from the high school to the field house of SCC after bad weather threatened the ceremony.
"Last year, graduation was moved due to weather concerns," PMHS Principal Matt McFarland previously said.
"We were in the middle of a heat wave- it was projected to be in the high 90s- and as it is in South Jersey, the evenings come with those pop-up thunderstorms," McFarland formerly said.
In three or four previous circumstances, weather prevented an outdoor ceremony and guests were moved inside to the school's gym.
However, officials were concerned about health issues inside the gym, as the room gets overheated easily.
McFarland previously said that it is not unheard of for a school district to go to an inside location in attempts to control climate.
The board will be presented with the decision of where to hold graduation at the next school board meeting on April 25.

I had been tossing and turning beneath the snuggly comfort of my toasty warm covers for two endless hours in the middle of a winter night trying to figure out why I was so uncharacteristically restless. It wasn't because my beloved had been sawing logs beside me like a woolly mammoth with a head cold. It wasn't because I was stressed over how I was probably setting my kids up for a lifetime of failure because I let them watch back-to-back-to-back episodes of Dora the Explorer and eat their dinner in front of the television twice that week (gasp!). Then, in one of those cheesy made-for-tv moments, I surprised even myself when I suddenly sat bolt upright in bed (who does that?!). A calmness I'll never forget wrapped itself around my shoulders and I breathed a sigh of relief, then said out loud to Brian, "I have to do something tomorrow." He didn't hear me. It didn't matter. I knew.
I submitted my SOAR! application video two weeks later.
Thirty-six blog posts, seven video blogs, one hundred twenty-six images, ninety-seven slices of cheese pizza, forty-five glasses of wine (not all in a row) and nearly 365 days later, I am utterly and blissfully exhausted (yep, a whole lot of pizza and a glass of wine gets many a blog post written, my friends).
I imagine it's the mental version of exhausted that a marathoner feels as she approaches the finish line. We've established my three criteria for running, right? (If you need a refresher, click here). Even if Robert Downey, Jr. was waiting at the finish line for me with a plate of cupcakes and a foot rub, I still wouldn't run 26.2 miles to get a long-lasting congratulatory smooch from the guy. Sorry, love.
All the hours spent training, the blisters, chafing and tendinitis aside though, I get it. I get why marathoners do it. They do it for the same reason I applied for SOAR: I knew I could do it. Thankfully I don't have the black toenails to show for it, but I've been steadily logging mile after mile, week after week, heading in the direction of a start line disguised as a finish line.
I've seen so many of you along the side of the road, enthusiastically waving your signs and shouting words of much-needed encouragement in your blog comments to me. We've shared dinners and drinks, Skyped, Facebooked, messaged and even shot together along the way. I've even gotten the pleasure of meeting some of you in person (truly a highlight for me) in a few of Me Ra's CONFIDENCE workshops this past year. You all can't possibly know how much I treasure these unexpected gifts from my year as a SOAR Recipient.
No one has cheered more loudly, pushed me harder, or believed in me more than the voice you heard in the outtakes of all those video blogs. I can write volumes about this guy, but really, this just about says it all: Brian, my love, I will always pick up the cat puke spray on the way back home to you.

I didn't buy a camera to take pictures of my kids. I bought a camera because I lacked a piano. Since entering Smotherhood, I desperately needed to reconnect with the creative person inside of me and it was easier to store a camera in my closet than a piano. Everyone has to start somewhere, but when I think about where I started, I get a little embarrassed of things like sun spots on people's heads, shooting with the wrong white balance, and funky skin tones:
In reality though, failures like those gave birth to images like these over the past year:
I know (and even hope) I will continue to make mistakes, although less frequently. It's probably the most effective way I know of to improve.
As I approach the start line disguised as a finish line, I don't know exactly where I'm headed. Does anyone really? With my list of What Ifs in hand, I know that I will put beautiful images into the world. I know that I will continue to tell the stories that surround them. Most of all, I know that when you wake up in the middle of the night and you hear the voice that says, "take this risk," you should always, always listen.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks for SOARing alongside me this year.

August 5, 2008
9:00 a.m.
Commissioners' Conference Room
Commissioner Faye Stewart presided with Commissioners Bill Dwyer, Bill Fleenor, Bobby Green, Sr., and Peter Sorenson present. County Administrator Jeff Spartz, Assistant County Counsel Stephen Vorhes and Recording Secretary Melissa Zimmer were also present.
Stewart indicated that 6 b needs to be taken first because it will have an impact on 6a.
Lauri Segel, indicated that she was working on a deadline. She indicated she went to Land Management but staff wasn't there and she wasn't able to access materials. She asked if there could be a discussion about allowing additional time for deadlines.
Stewart asked if they could extend the deadline because of the power situation.
Stephen Vorhes, Assistant County Counsel, said whether staff is to accept an appeal depends on circumstances. He commented that being able to get information is different than submitting comments or filing an appeal. He said depending on the proceeding that is on the application, they could be flexible around comments.
Stewart asked to report back tomorrow on whether they could extend it and if it is legal.
Vorhes indicated that he could look into specific cases and what can be done. He thinks there is some flexibility.
Fleenor wanted to extend public comment for constituent service.
Segel didn't think the request from Springfield was legal. She said the statutory direction for safe harbor is when a county doesn't have a population forecast adopted within the last ten years or isn't intending on preparing one. She said if the County isn't doing anything about population forecast coordinating countywide and if they don't already have a population forecast adopted within the last ten years, then the city has an alternate route called the safe harbor. She thought Portland State University could do two PAPA's, one for the metro area and one for the small cities. She didn't know why the cities are using a medium growth scenario. She asked the Board to embark on a coordinated population forecast because they need an open process where the assumptions are on the table.
Sorenson announced the U.S. Surface Transportation Board will be holding a hearing on Thursday August 21 in Room 2200 of Wayne Morse Courthouse in Eugene. He said the purpose of the hearing is to go over the possibility of abandonment and discontinuing of service over the railroad line known as the Coos Bay Subdivision. He said the owner of the subdivision is proposing to abandon the railroad line. He said they need a hearing and approval to look into the railroad line and the discontinuance of service over the portion of the railroad of the subdivision line they lease. He thought staff should be involved in the hearing. He said it affects their economy.
Fleenor thought two commissioners should attend or send a letter.
Stewart wanted to discuss this at the end of the agenda. He wanted to represent the Board at the meeting.
4. EXECUTIVE SESSION as per ORS 192.660
a. Announcements
David Suchart, Management Services, explained why the power went out. He said it was determined the problem was a ground fault circuit interrupter but he won't know for sure. He stated the equipment is no longer made and it will have to be rebuilt. He indicated that it will have to come from Los Angeles and they hope to receive it by tomorrow.
a. WORK SESSION/In the Matter of Directing Land Management Division to Begin an Updated Coordinated Population Forecast Project.
Matt Laird, Land Management, recalled at the June 25 Board meeting he presented the Board with five options for conducting population forecasting in Lane County. At that meeting the Board requested additional information on the top down method or Option 3. He said that might include contracting with Portland State University Population Resource Center. He said this work session today is to present the cost estimate produced by PSU. He said the estimate would include a coordinated population forecasting for Lane County and each of its urban areas. He wanted direction from the Board to begin the population forecast. He said the project involves hiring experts to perform population forecast. He added that it could be funded by three sources. He recalled at the last meeting $200,000 was placed into a contingency account set up by the Board. He added they also have a DLCD technical assistance grant pending and they have Land Management Long Range Planning Fund available. With regard to private sources, he contacted some of the cities and they were interested in population forecasting. He also spoke with EWEB and Northwest Natural. He stated at this time all have either commented or respectfully declined to participate with this project at this time.
Laird reported the cost estimate produced by Portland State University includes a fee of $41,400 for the final report and $1,485 for an additional two hour meeting in Eugene. He said the original estimate was $50,000. He said staff time involved with Option 3 would be .5 FTE, around $50,000. He said the process will take approximately 12 months to complete. He said the total cost estimate for Option 3 is $92,885. He said if the Board directs Land Management to do Option 3, Portland State anticipates they would present their final report in March 2009. He added that staff would then process the population forecast as a Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendment. He said if it goes through 90 days, the project would go to adoption in June 2009.
Dwyer thought it was the logical way to go.
Fleenor asked if PSU would object to come down to provide a work session in advance of any work so the Board of Commissioners, the Planning Commissioners and the public understand the process and they are comfortable with the methodology they are proposing. He indicated that the population forecast is not a land use issue
Vorhes explained the way the law is now structured for the County to get to an adoption of a coordinated population forecast, it will involve a land use decision and a land use process. He said they aren't compelled by law to have a full public process. He said they could make that choice. He said for this Board to embark on a coordinated population forecast project, it will entail a land use process that involves citizens and part of the debate is how much citizen involvement is necessary.
Fleenor thought public comment would have a role or assumptions for PSU researchers to calculate. He wanted to err on the Goal 1 side.
Green asked how it was determined that PSU would be the one to receive the work. He asked if there was an RFP or if they are a sole source provider of the work.
Laird said they contacted PSU and they didn't put out an RFP. He said they were limited as to who was available and who hadn't already participated in this record and PSU was one of them. He indicated that they would be looking at an IGA with them.
Green asked if they were required to do an RFP.
Vorhes said they were looking at PSU, as that was direction of the Board. He added because it is a government agency the Board can enter into an IGA without using competitive selection.
Fleenor wanted this done in a transparent and public manner. He said if they choose Option 3, that at every juncture they make this as transparent as possible, inviting the small cities and the other stakeholders to be involved. He asked if they could consolidate the time frame.
Laird responded that he heard he had to get information out to PSU and that is what he did. He asked PSU if they could expedite this if they paid an extra fee and the answer he received was no because they have a limited amount of staff. He said their March 2009 date for a final was true to when they would finish. He thought he set up an ambitious schedule with only putting in 90 days for the land use process involved with a complex PAPA. He also scheduled the Planning Commission meeting before the final report came out. He said he will try to do it as quickly as possible.
Green stated that they need to give staff direction to do the work. He thought it would be fair to acknowledge what the cities are asking. He said if not, it goes back to the whole premise as to why HB3337 now exists.
MOTION: to move Option 3 without the Springfield language and with the addition of a work session that would be available as was described and to give direction to staff to do it in an expedited manner as possible. He wanted a check in once per month on the status. He said if they encounter a barrier that might affect the timeline, to check with the Board chair to explain the barrier.
Dwyer MOVED, Fleenor SECONDED.
Fleenor commented that the expedited factor is critical because small cities have infrastructure projects that they are waiting on.
Stewart was in support of PSU coming down to give a presentation. He thought they wanted to go with PSU because they felt LOCG just asked people what they wanted. He thought it was important to explain to the citizens why they have to go through the process, not to ask for input. He didn't know the advantages of taking this over item 2 recommended by staff previously. He commented that no one would determine whether PSU projections will be any more than the others and they might not be more defensible than the process that has already taken place. He was hopeful that if they go this route they can get the grant and it won't be too costly. He hoped this didn't jeopardize some of the small cities projects.
Fleenor commented that experts are good but they are they leaders who make the decisions. With regard to Option 2, he thought it was faster and cheaper if they didn't factor in that there would be an appeal from the opposition that might keep the process from moving forward from months or years. His intent is to try to put together a process that is as defensible as possible so they can move this forward with minimum likelihood of an appeal.
Laird said they can add another work session. He commented that it will well exceed what is required for citizen involvement. He said for them to undertake this project, the Board would need to place a high priority in the next exercise of prioritizing long range work programs. He said it would have to come out as one of the top three for them to do it.
Vorhes indicated that he will try to craft an order that reflects this tomorrow. He said they will need to talk to PSU about what they are going to do and be part of the contract negotiations.
b. DISCUSSION/ACTION Board Direction Concerning the Land Management Division - Land Long-Range Planning Section Work Program and Revenues During the Fiscal Year 2008-2009.
Kent Howe, Land Management, recalled that on April 30 they provided the Board with 20 long range planning projects. He said the Board was to prioritize the matrix and schedule a future work session. He said on May 14 they assigned a couple more projects: the appeals process and fees and the permitting for solar and other alternative energy sources. He sent out another matrix and received responses from three commissioners. He added on July 9 they added the scope of work detailing the tasks required to terminate the Metro Plan Urban Transition Agreement and make associated policy amendments to the Metro Plan. He noted there are a large number of complex planning projects that have become highly politicized. He indicated that if they would do all of the projects, it would take approximately 6 FTE to carry out all of the work involved and they only have 2.4 FTE. He provided different scenarios. (Copy in file).
Stewart asked if they could commit that the coordinated population forecast as the number one project.
Fleenor wanted to reserve the right to add an additional component with FTE to the coordinated population projects. He thought .5 FTE would be the minimum. He thought they should add a .25 FTE or .50 FTE to expedite the process.
Green thought this got to a resource issue. He noted they only have two people to do the work.
MOTION: to give direction to staff to pursue Q , W and X for 1. FTE
Fleenor MOVED, Dwyer SECONDED.
Fleenor said out of these programs, he thought the three they have just isolated are important to the citizens they serve. He stated that this will have a direct and immediate impact on the citizens. He commented that the other items are vague as to how they will impact the citizens.
VOTE: 4-1 (Stewart dissenting).
Green announced that last night ODOT held its first open house public information regarding the Beltline/River Road corridor.
Fleenor reported that he will be in Missouri for a family reunion. He stated that Mike Clark and Dianne Burch will have a community dialogue at Dani's Coffee Shop.
Testimony at Rail Abandonment Hearing. on August 21
Stewart indicated that it was recommended they speak as one voice to come up with comments.
Fleenor commented that West Lane County is going to have the greatest impact as far as rail transportation across that portion of the County. He said there are many structures that are in dire need of maintenance or reconstruction. He said for someone to want to purchase the broken down railroad is ludicrous. He thought they should discuss whether that is an appropriate subsidy considering the economic issues at play. He said they need to make it clear to their representatives that if they are going to subsidize anything, they should be helping the citizens of Lane County, not the railroad. He wanted to send a clear message that if a subsidy is involved then they have to discuss where the money is going and the most effective and efficient way to use the money.
Spartz said there is no reason why they should be pushing to get a subsidy for a rail company that has adequate resources to do what they need to do. He thought they should look at forming an IGA with the other affected jurisdictions. He thought if subsidizes came in that the public should own the line for the purpose of serving the community.
Dwyer wants someone to frame the letter that makes the public policy arguments based on the common good. He thought Spartz should draft a resolution along the lines to present to the commission on what their position is as a Board.
Stewart didn't think they should abandonment. He said they want to abandon portions of it. He thinks it has to remain whole from Eugene to Coos Bay at this time. He wanted to make it clear that abandoning it is not an option. He said whatever they have to do it has to remain that way and if there are large subsidizes that it doesn't go to a private company but the public's interests.
Green agreed with what had been said. He thought Alex Cuyler, Intergovernmental Relations Manager, should be involved and that he and Stewart should attend the meeting.
Stewart reiterated that Spartz would work on this and Stewart would present the resolution.
There being no further business, Commissioner Stewart adjourned the meeting at 11:20 a.m.
Melissa ZimmerRecording Secretary

Marketing Attribution (sometimes referred to as Multi-Channel Attribution) is the process of studying the click paths that lead consumers to your site. I should probably now define a click path, which is the series of touch points that lead to conversion. For example, if you have a site that sells Lego's, a click path may look like:
Star Wars legos (Paid Search) > tie fighter lego (Organic) > RetailMeNot (Afiliate) > ToyStore.com (Organic)
So in this click path, the consumer is first looking for Star Wars Lego's and clicks on a paid search ad. The consumer does not convert, but then visits the site again, this time with the search phrase of 'tie fighter lego' and found the toy companies natural (organic) search listing. The consumer still does not convert, this time leaving the site to look for a coupon. They find one on RetailMeNot, but the consumer still does not convert and comes back one more time, this time with a branded search and purchases. Yup – searchers do search like this. It's quite complex, but you can imagine the advantage a website has when they can understand and act upon this data.
I typically have several goals when doing an attribution analysis. One, is get an understanding how my marketing channels play together. Two, I want to get a good sense of which head terms eventually lead to conversions. Third, is looking at each channel in a silo. Fourth, is looking for opportunities to reduce as spend.

If the cold has stiffened you up, you can warm up with laughs this weekend at Jersey City's 4th annual Laugh Tour.
The stand-up comedy show will take place 8 p.m., tomorrow, at Art House Productions, 1 McWilliams Place in Hamilton Park. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
Headlining the laugh fest is Kurt Metgzer, who has appeared on the "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and Comedy Central.
The Toms River native who's no stranger to Jersey City will put on a 45-minute act in hopes of wooing the audience.
"If it's good, I'll stay longer. If it sucks, I'll leave early," he joked. "I'm just gonna do my thing, be myself, and hopefully they like it."
Local stand-up comedian Rich Kiamco, who has appeared on "Good Day NY," "The Howard Stern Show" and Bravo, will host the show and present comedians Charles McBee, who has appeared on "Gotham Comedy Live," and Katherine Williams, who has appeared at NY Underground.
That's a pretty darn good roundup, and it promises to bring you more entertainment than your 9 to 5 occupation.
"No one goes to comedy shows because they want to sit in a cubical and check their Facebook status," Kiamco joked.
There will be special performances in between acts, DJ mEgan will spin tunes, and refreshments will be available for those who want to nibble throughout the performances.
"People are always surprised that something like this is in Jersey City," Kiamco said. "Everyone usually goes to New York."
Tickets, which are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information, visit www.TheLaughTour.com, or www.facebook.com/TheLaughTour.

Writing about music at the New Orleans Times-Picayune is a good gig. Apparently, doing the same job for the Minneapolis Star Tribune also has its perks.
"His guys called late Saturday night while I was reviewing the Bruno Mars concert at Xcel Energy Center," wrote Star Tribune reporter Jon Bream in a story that went online Monday morning (June 23.)
"Prince wants to play you his new album tonight."
Bream promptly made his way to Paisley Park, Prince's studio compound in the suburbs of Minneapolis, and after about an hour's wait ("When you arrive at Paisley Park, you switch to Prince time," he wrote) was met by members of 3rdEyeGirl, Prince's current backing band. At around 1 a.m. Sunday (June 22) engineer and producer Joshua Welton, who's married to 3rdEyeGirl drummer Hannah Ford Welton, began to play him the new songs. His first impressions:
"The long, opening tune, 'The Gold Standard,' was percolating electro-funk, an update of classic Prince with a lyric that referenced the notions of 'wild and rude' from his previous days," Bream wrote.
"The second selection was a complex electronic discourse that was hard to grasp first time around." Bream also heard a new rap song Prince and Welton had recorded with the British pop singer Rita Ora, "aggressive and menacing," and "This Could Be Us," a "joyful ballad with some ecstatic Prince vocalizing" that, Prince said, was inspired by the #ThisCouldBeUsButYouPlayin Twitter meme. (Briefly, the meme features pictures of couples; a popular one showed Prince and Apollonia riding together on his motorcycle in the film 'Purple Rain.')
Prince called in to the studio to chat with the reporter on speakerphone. He didn't share a title for the new project or a release date, though he did intimate that his return to Warner Brothers (he reconciled with his old label in April, two decades after a bitter split) had not been the smoothest. He also complained about radio programming, and the speed, or lack thereof, by which new music can reach listeners. (An odd complaint, in the age of the Internet, though Prince also famously prefers to keep his sounds off of free, online channels like YouTube.) Bream related the conversation:
"...he did discuss the difficulties of getting in contact with top executives at Warner — his old label, with which he signed a new deal this spring — and complained about how slowly wheels turn in the record business."
"Every No. 1 song, every Top 10 song, every song in the Top 40 is at least six months old," he said. "We should be able to make music and put it out now."
"He also carped about radio, wondering if program directors really direct their programs. 'I don't need to be on the radio,' he said. 'I've been on the radio all my life.' But he wants to hear new, young artists on the radio."
That Prince has this whole other album of new material ready to go — in addition to "Plectrum Electrum," an as-yet-unreleased project recorded with 3rdEyedGirl, announced earlier this year — isn't a big surprise. Prince's vault is a thing of legend; fans have eagerly traded rumors for years as to how much music the sly artist is sitting on. Whichever comes first, "Plectrum Electrum" or the newly revealed collection, will be his first studio release since 2009.
Take our quiz and test your Prince knowledge
Over the Super Bowl weekend, in February, Prince teamed up with Essence to throw a listening party in New York City for "PretzelBodyLogic," the first single released from "Plectrum Electrum." At the event, the Purple One also revealed "FunkNRoll," another album cut that Billboard described as "a loose, New Orleans gut-funk number." At Paisley Park on Saturday, Bream wrote, Prince played him a remix of the track that was "funkier and nastier than the original."
A look at the reported setlists for Prince's spring and summer 2014 dates in Europe show that both "PretzelBodyLogic" and "Funk N Roll" are in regular rotation, along with a sweeping chronology of familiar songs ("'Let's Go Crazy,' "Purple Rain" and "Kiss" are among the most-played songs) and tunes originally recorded by members of the Prince creative family, including Morris Day and the Time's "Cool" and Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl."
Prince's catalog is massive, and with the reveal of these latest new songs, the possibilities for his July 4 headlining set at Essence have expanded even further. Along with Nile Rodgers and Janelle Monae, plus as-yet-unannounced guests, Prince has the festival's Friday night mainstage all to himself. Are the hit-heavy European gigs a good indicator of how the Purple One will use his time? Or does the flood of new material predict a set of fresher cuts? Only Prince knows.

Bungie admit Halo MMO challenge
Speaking to UK business site GI.biz at last week's Tokyo Game Show, Bungie PR exec Brian Jarrad has implied that the developer were only loosely aware that Microsoft had Halo MMO aspirations.
Ensemble were crafting the ambitious online project, before it was axed amid a reshuffle that will also eventually see the studio itself close (once work on Halo Wars is completed).
"They are like our lunchtime discussions at the studio," Jarrad offered. "A Halo MMO wasn't something that at the studio we had a lot of preview on. We'd heard rumblings and on paper, if someone says 'Let's take Halo, plus Warcraft, equals dollar signs…'
"So it was interesting when that whole thing came to light, there was more there than we ever really thought there was. I don't know, we've had a lot of heated discussions - there's a big, vast, rich universe, but then again it's hard for me to imagine."
He continues: "Everybody wants to be Master Chief, they all want to be the Spartan. You'd have to create a whole new layer of fiction and new characters that don't currently exist - not that it couldn't be done."
Jarrad concludes that the MMO project would have been "pretty challenging", and suggests he in unsurprised the project was eventually culled.

New Bob Dylan songs surface for Renee Zellweger's 'My Own Love Song'
Sixteen new Bob Dylan songs are making their way into "My Own Love Song," starring Renee Zellweger as an out-of-luck singer-songwriter.
The musical movie -- which is what some are describing as "Crazy Hear" with a woman lead -- is helmed by "Vie en la Rose" director Olivier Dahan, with Forest Whitaker co-starring. The soundtrack is headed up by Dylan, who cobbled some of the writing/recording sessions for the movie together for an entirely separate album, 2009's "Together Through Life." Tracks from that set, as well as these unreleased tracks, are what will be heard in the film.
Zellweger can be heard singing one song, Dylan's "Life Is Hard," at the end of the first trailer below; his performance of his own song "Precious Angel" is at the beginning.
The "Chicago" actress is also singing on American classic "This Land Is Your Land" in international trailer, also below, though don't forget to enjoy some Chopin in the clip as well.
Consequence of Sound unearthed a complete list of songs to be included in the film, though no telling what would ultimately be on a released soundtrack. See the tracklist below the video embeds.
"My Own Love Song" debuts at Tribeca Film Festival and is screening, as well, in France on April 7. No distributor has signed on to the project yet.

China Continues to Battle Desertification
Jonathan Watts, Guardian
China has gained a sliver of ground in its ancient battle against the desert sands, the government announced today, though it warned another 300 years may be needed to solve "the most serious ecological problem facing the country".
A survey showed more than a quarter of China's land remained either degraded or lost to sand and gravel due to a combination of a naturally dry climate, centuries of over-cultivation and decades of excessive demand on water and soil from the world's biggest population and fastest growing economy.
TAGGED: Resource Management, China, Desertification

Can you give me some meal suggestions that are tasty, convenient, and nutritious for my children?
Choose cereals with less than 10 grams of sugar and at least 2 grams of fiber per serving. If your child prefers a sweet taste, jazz up unsweetened cereal with sliced peaches or bananas, strawberries, or blueberries.
Children who help make their own lunches are more likely to eat them. You can also make lunches fun by cutting sandwiches with cookie cutters or decorating your child's lunch bag.

The Thiel Foundation has made a six-figure grant to a series of biotechnology startups, including a company that wants to 3-D-print meat.
Modern Meadow is a Missouri-based startup that believes 3-D printing could help to take some of the environmental cost out of producing a hamburger. He said: "If you look at the resource intensity of everything that goes into a hamburger, it is an environmental train wreck."
The company claims that by carefully layering mixtures of cells of different types in a specific structure, in-vitro meat production becomes feasible. It's set a short-term goal of printing a sliver of meat around two centimeters by one centimeter, and less than half a millimeter thick, which is edible.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Yankees knew they caught a break last season, when they needed just three starting pitchers to navigate the postseason. It's why they traded for right-hander Javier Vazquez, who was coming off a season in which he finished fourth in National League Cy Young voting.
But as they begin the postseason with tonight's Game 1 of the American League Division Series, the Yankees find themselves in the exact same scenario they faced last season.
A.J. Burnett, last year's clear No. 2 starter, pitched poorly enough to lose his rotation spot. And Vazquez endured a nightmarish return to the Bronx.
So, for the first round, the Yankees have committed to a three-man rotation. It will be fronted by ace CC Sabathia and filled out by left-hander Andy Pettitte and righty Phil Hughes.
Sabathia would pitch Game 4 on three-days' rest if needed.
"A.J. was outstanding for us last year in the playoffs," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's not easy. And they are tough decisions that you have to make."
Meanwhile, in Burnett and Vazquez, the Yankees paid $28 million this season for a pair of pitchers who won't be part of the postseason rotation.
Vazquez, who finished his tumultuous season 10-10 with a 5.32 ERA, failed to make the postseason roster altogether. Burnett, brought in to give the Yankees a one-two punch at the top of the rotation, made the roster. But he will work out of the bullpen after his inconsistent season cost him a rotation spot.
"I'm not going to cause drama or be the bad apple or be the cancer," said Burnett, who finished the year 10-15 with a 5.26 ERA. "I'm here for the same reason that everybody else is here. Like I said, whether it's to get one out or two outs, run, bunt, whatever, I'm in."
Burnett, who won the critical second game of the World Series last season, has made only four career relief appearances. His last pitched in relief with the Blue Jays in 2008.
"You look at how our season went," said Burnett, who is still locked up with the Yankees for three more years, and nearly $50 million. "Those were our top three starters of the season. That's who should be starting."
Vazquez, whose lack of fastball velocity doomed his season, said he wasn't surprised to be left off the roster.
"It's disappointing obviously," Vazquez said. "I can't say I'm surprised because I'm not surprised. I knew I was kind of on the bubble but it's still disappointing because you want to be out there."
Vazquez traveled with the team and is on standby if the Yankees must add him to the roster.
"It's nobody's fault, Vazquez said. "It's my fault."
The rotation allows the Yankees to potentially pitch four lefties in five games against the lefty-dominant Twins.
"We felt with all the left-hand hitters, we would try to throw four lefties at them in five games," Girardi said about the decision to start three pitchers.
Like Vazquez, Chad Gaudin made the trip in case he's needed to take a roster spot. Meanwhile, the Yankees have sent several players to their facility in Tampa, to stay prepared in case they are activated. Those on standby include left-handed reliever Royce Ring, right-handers Jonathan Albaladejo and Ivan Nova and infielder Eduardo Nunez.
The final roster spots for position players went to utility man Ramiro Pena and reserve outfielder Greg Golson. Girardi said Pena's experience and versatility made him the choice while Golson's speed and defensive ability in the outfield landed him on the roster.
Meanwhile, Girardi included two long relievers, Sergio Mitre and Dustin Moseley, in case the Yankees have to change plans and go to a four-man rotation. Counting Burnett, the Yankees are carrying three long relievers.
Hughes intends to continue his side work as he prepares to start Game 3. It will be his first start since Sept. 26, a span of 12 days, broken up only by a one-inning relief appearance on Saturday in Boston.
"I'm just happy to be given the opportunity," said Hughes, who has had to deal with long layoffs this season because the team limited his innings. "I just hope to make the most of it."
Hughes has made 11 postseason appearances out of the bullpen, including nine during the Yankees' championship run last season. But his first career playoff start will come on Saturday, in the team's first home playoff game.
"I felt like that inning at Fenway helped," Hughes said. "Hopefully, I'll be ready when the time comes. It will certainly feel different but I think just having that experience last year helps."
The Yankees won't finalize their Game 1 lineup until after the coaching staff sits down for dinner on Tuesday night. Girardi said they are still making decisions about which outfielders will play against Twins Game 1 starter Francisco Liriano, a left-hander.

10 female Marvel superheroes that deserve the Hollywood treatment
Here are ten Marvel ladies ready to leap from the page to the screen
Next gallery »Fantastic Four #1
« Previous gallerySuperior Foes of Spider-Man #8
Miss America - Supporting character in the proposed "Agent Carter" TV series and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Madeline Joyce Frank was one of the first female costumed heroes in comics, and was certainly Marvel's leading lady in the Golden Age. The proposed "Agent Carter" television series will certainly detail the post-Captain America days of World War II and the inclusion of Miss America as an attempt to create a costumed adventurer to replace Cap would be a great story point for the new series. Who better to understand the trials of being a symbol of American heroism than Peggy? The story of a female Golden Age hero navigating her way through the sexism of the '40s would be an interesting take on the usual superhero story and could be a central focus of "Agent Carter" as Peggy goes it alone while trying to build the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization and keep Cap's legacy alive. It would be pretty cool to see the central architects of Marvel's cinematic universe be two classic female characters. Current Miss America, America Chavez could even appear in the modern day "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." as the contemporary bearer of the Miss America legacy. Miss America binding two eras of S.H.I.E.L.D. together would be a fitting tribute to Marvel's first lady.

As much as a sign of the times as a smart business decision, Nintendo has decided to merge its handheld and console hardware teams. Taking place on February 16 (whoa, that's soon), the 130 members of the console team will join the 150 members of the handheld team and begin working the company's future. Why? According to the report, "In an effort to create more innovative and attractive products."
With technology evolving at an alarming pace and the minimum requirements expected of a console changing year to year, Nintendo realizes they need to work heard, to do more:
"Game system development projects are becoming larger and taking longer to complete as the machines become more advanced. Nintendo apparently has its sights set on speeding up these projects by sharing development processes for consoles and handheld devices where possible and by reassigning personnel depending on the situation. It sees interactions between engineers as a potential hotbed of new ideas."
If anything, I believe this is Nintendo's simple recognition that a sharing of ideas and concepts can go a long way towards building a better hardware device. It could be that simple. Naturally, there's some complexities too. Connectivity between handhelds and consoles, cross-platform accounts and data sharing along with universal services like social media. This is work that can be done more effectively as one team.
Sounds like Nintendo has some exciting plans for the future, and if this means a growth in scope when it comes to hardware design then I think all gamers are cheering them on. Can't wait to see what Nintendo is working on next.

KENTWOOD, MI -- In the eyes of Kentwood police Chief Tom Hillen, a man carrying an orange bucket filled with a flammable liquid is almost too obvious not to be seen by someone.
That's what police are betting on as they continue to investigate the Saturday, Jan. 5, homicides of Kentwood husband and wife, David and Vivian Bouwman.
"I think we are fairly confident there's at least one other person out there who more than likely talked to this person," said Hillen.
Kentwood police say one or more persons used an orange Home Depot bucket to transport a flammable liquid before dumping it on a 2001 Cadillac Deville owned by the Bouwmans and setting the car ablaze.

The bucket was discovered next to the burning car in a parking lot at Arbor Park Apartments in the 3800 block of Madison Avenue SE.
Police today revealed the discovery.
The Bouwmans, who were both in their early 80s, were found shot to death in their home on Stowevalley Drive SE about 11:15 a.m. Saturday.
They were found about 75 minutes after Wyoming firefighters extinguished the car fire. Authorities asked Kentwood police to check their residence and the homicide scene was discovered as officers also were investigating reports of possible break-in attempts in the Stowevalley Drive SE neighborhood.
The Cadillac Deville had been parked in the Bouwmans' garage.
Hillen said he believes one or more witnesses may have seen someone driving the Deville or perhaps someone carrying the pail.
"Multiple people may have some knowledge," he said.
"Maybe (the suspect) drives around a little bit. Maybe they get the pail out of a shed someplace, I don't know," he said.
"But most times when you see a five-gallon bucket, you see a white one. The fact this one is orange is different," he said.
Silent Observer has established a fund to help pay a reward for information leading to the arrests of those responsible for the homicides. Anyone with information about the slayings can call police at 616-698-6580 or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345.
