Perhaps the most dramatic involved three men and one woman who were handcuffed during a violent altercation with officers along Southwest Yamhill Street between Third and Fourth avenues.
The incident happened as protesters refused to get off Yamhill so traffic, including a MAX train, could get through.
Some bicycle police were knocked off their bikes during the incident but it wasn't clear if any of them were injured. Some of the demonstrators could be heard yelling and screaming.
Another arrest happened about 9 p.m. when a man was taken into custody between along Third Avenue between Chapman Square and the Justice Center and three more followed in the same area about 9:30 p.m.
The incidents came during and after a march that saw about 2,000 people parading through the streets of downtown Portland afternoon and evening, chanting for jobs and justice and against the jailing of immigrants.
Along the way, they danced in the streets, played drums and yelled at bankers.
The group was part of Portland's annual May Day Parade, an event with a long and colorful history that has, in some years, included violent demonstrations.
For most of the event, there were few problems; mostly a lot of speeches and declarations.
The first arrest took place mid-march and when a man was taken away near Southwest Second Avenue and Yamhill Street in handcuffs, apparently accused of tagging.
The next four arrests happened about an hour later after much of the crowd had gone to Pioneer Courthouse Square.
The parade began after about 1 1/2 hours of music and speeches near Shemanski Fountain in Portland's South Park Blocks.
Union members, students, older people and children are taking part in the march, which has a permit to wind through the downtown core.
Groups include Jobs With Justice, the National Association of Letter Carriers, Veterans For Peace and the Western Farm Workers Association.
The march marked at least the fourth demonstration of the day in Portland. Earlier events included a protest by high school students at the Portland Public School administration building, a protest over the foreclosure of a home in Northeast Portland and a wild march through the streets of downtown Portland by Occupy Portland demonstrators.
Those gathering at Shemanski, which is at the north end of the South Park blocks, held a variety of signs and banners, including ones that said "Capitalism is Cancer" and "Save America's Postal Service."
In reverse chronological order, here's a look at the events of the afternoon and evening:
10:20 p.m.: Still shrinking. The number of protesters is down to maybe 40 and there doesn't appear to be any police presence. About 18 protesters have gone back across Third Avenue and are standing in front of the Justice Center, but they seem to just be talking and milling around. Others remain on the sidewalks at Chapman Square.
10:02 p.m.: The crowd of protesters continues to dwindle. It appears to have dropped to about 50 to 70. The number of officers visible in front of the Justice Center is now down to about 10.
9:48 p.m.: The crowd has shrunk considerably. Right now, it looks like no more than 150 protesters and about 50 officers.
9:30 p.m.: Another big scuffle breaks out between police and demonstrators, this time between Chapman Square and the Justice Center. The incident happened after police had left the front of the courthouse for a short time. Protesters then crossed Third Avenue and moved toward the courthouse entrance, only to have police return and begin to push them back toward Chapman Square. Some of the demonstrators then pushed back and two women and one man were arrested. Most of the protesters remain on the sidewalks of Chapman Square.
9 p.m.: Protesters are howling at police, who have formed a perimeter around the Justice Center.
8:54 p.m.: Demonstrators have returned to Chapman Square, which was taken over by Occupy Portland early last October. They are not, however, on the grass; they are remaining on the sidewalks. Some demonstrators had gathered near the entrance to the Justice Center, directly across 3rd Street from the square, but officers have forced them away from the building.
8:37 p.m.: Protesters are yelling at police. One woman angrily tells a cop that she is a criminal justice major and is ashamed at their behavior. Several protesters are standing on either side of the street near the Tiffany Co. building. Police are in the street, keeping protesters on the sidewalks. The MAX train that was coming down the tracks before the altercation has stopped near Pioneer Place.
8:35 p.m.: Another person is arrested. Lots of people are yelling at the police. The crowd is chanting "who do you protect?"
8:31 p.m.: A scuffle has developed between police and demonstrators. Some officers have been knocked off their bikes. More police are coming down to the scene. The officer on the loudspeaker is continuing to tell people they must get off Yamhill between 4th and 3rd. Demonstrators are screaming as police arrest at least three people. Then a fourth is arrested. The arrests appear to include three men and one woman.
8:29 p.m.: Demonstrators are walking on SW Yamhill as a light-rail train approaches. Police are warning them to get out of the street, saying it is "open to vehicular traffic." An officer on a loudspeaker is telling them they "must immediately vacate the roadway and proceed to the sidewalk." Police
8:15 p.m.: Dancing has begun in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Back at the Gus Solomon Courthouse, things have cleared and traffic is moving again.
8:08 p.m.: Demonstrators are now heading north along SW 6th, apparently toward Pioneer Courthouse Square. Some of them are writing in the sidewalks with chalk as they go, but they are staying out of the street.
8:02 p.m.: The fire in the dumpster has been put out. Meanwhile, police are telling marchers that the intersection of SW 6th and Main will be reopened to traffic. Demonstrators, however, are claiming victory.
7:48 p.m.: Four demonstrators have been arrested by police outside the Gus Solomon Courthouse.
7:42 p.m.: Police and firefighters are responding to a fire inside a dumpster in the parking garage across the the Gus Solomon courthouse.
7:20 p.m.: Police ask that some signs hanging from a parking garage across SW Main Street from the Gus Solomon Courthouse be taken down. The crowd boos.
7:13 p.m.: Students continue to demonstrate outside the old Gus Solomon Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland. Police are nearby, but everything seems to be staying peaceful. Police have expressed some concern about anarchists, however.
7:08 p.m.: It appears that some of the protesters may be asking police to arrest them.
7:04 p.m.: Most of those who had originally returned to the South Park Blocks now appear to be heading over to the courthouse to support the student group that is protesting there. One protester yells that the students may get arrested.
6:57 p.m.: A group of young people who split away from the main phalanx of marchers is now outside the courthouse, chanting "undocumented, unafraid."
6:51 p.m.: The marchers have split into two groups at SW Broadway and Main. One group is heading toward the South Park Blocks; the other is heading east toward Multnomah County Courthouse.
6:46 p.m.: Marchers are calling for "fair trade, not free trade" as a protester waves a black Nike swoosh on a stick.
6:32 p.m.: The marchers are now heading south on Broadway. They're apparently heading for the South Park Blocks, where the event began.
6:05 p.m.: Some members of the crowd have been chanting "let him go," but most are back on the move.
6:01 p.m.: An officer handcuffed a man and led him away near SW 2nd and Stark and a standoff appears to be starting between protesters and police.
5:57 p.m.: Marchers are expressing a lot of traditional May Day themes. They're addressing jobs, justice, immigrant rights mixed in with Occupy's anti-Wall Street criticisms.
5:40 p.m.: Portland Police Chief Mike Reese stands outside the Justice Center as marchers stride past. Another officer jokes about everyone in the parade taking his photo and Reese waves. But some of the marchers yell at the chief: "Mike Reese, shame on you."
5:32 p.m.: Marchers are now outside the Justice Center, calling for justice for immigrants detained inside. They are also protesting the connection between Portland police and ICE, the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
5:25 p.m.: People are dancing and drumming near SW 4th and Madison, yelling "no war."
5:20 p.m.: The march has stopped at City Hall to hear Marco Mejia, who is with Jobs With Justice, speak.
5:17 p.m.: Now some of the marchers are chanting "We are unstoppable. Another world is possible." Others are calling on Wells Fargo to dump its shares in a prison company.
5:13 p.m.: Protesters stop outside wells Fargo building at SWth 4th and Columbia and chant: "Wells Fargo sucks."
5:02 p.m.: Marchers chant and wave signs for immigrant rights, education, fair pay and peace.
4:53 p.m.: After a speaker reminds the crowd that the march is supposed to be peaceful, the May Day Parade finally begins.
4:47 p.m.: A history of mayday is being given by a speaker while many others start lining up for the march.
4:42 p.m. One of the speakers is pumping up the crowd with some pretty beatboxing and drummers are gearing up for the march, as well.
4:22 p.m.: Motorcycle police have arrived.
4:19 p.m.: Speeches in English, with Spanish translation, are continuing. Topics have ranged from anti-banks to birth control
4:13 p.m.: One of the demonstrators says the 6 p.m. dance party in the South Park Blocks -- scheduled after the march -- is gonig to "be rowdy."
4:11 p.m.: The aroma of burning cannabis is wafting through the air near Shemanski Fountain.
3:55 p.m.: One of the demonstrators asks a reporter for a donation to the May Day fund.
3:54 p.m.: A performer shouts "the people united will never be divided" in Spanish before the music starts up again.
3:44 p.m.: Rain starts to dampen the demonstrators.

A jury can be told that a former Roxbury resident charged with killing three motorists on Route 80 while driving drunk also ingested ecstasy before the September 2006 crash, and that the prosecution's toxicology expert believes the drug intensified the alcohol's effect, a judge ruled today.
Attorneys for Damian D'Aleo, 26, argued that the Morris County Prosecutor's Office should not be allowed to present evidence that D'Aleo took ecstasy, but Superior Court Judge Salem Ahto agreed with the state that it is admissible.
D'Aleo is charged with three counts of aggravated manslaughter -- each carrying a punishment of up to 30 years in jail -- as well as charges of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. Besides the three fatalities, two motorists were severely injured.
D'Aleo, who now lives in Belmar, admitted he drank beer and took Ecstasy and cocaine in statements he made to police following the Sept. 26, 2006 crash. Police say D'Aleo set off the crash by rear-ending a Jeep Cherokee while both cars were going 70 mph. The Jeep hurtled across the median into the eastbound lanes, striking a Chrysler PT Cruiser and then a Chevrolet Cavalier.
While D'Aleo claims he took the ecstasy the night before the crash, the state's expert, John Brick, believes it is more likely D'Aleo took it the day of the crash, according to the prosecutor's office. Ahto ruled that Brick can opine that the ecstasy exacerbated the effects of alcohol, adding to D'Aleo's impairment.
In September, Ahto ruled a jury cannot be told that D'Aleo had cocaine metabolites in his system.

All good things come to an end. This is indeed true for the once high-flying Macworld Expo. Apple pulled a "Granny Smith" on the San Francisco-based conference, announcing today that this year will be its last. And, in a true kick-em when they're down blow, the company announced that Steve Jobs will not deliver the goodbye keynote. Instead, Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will do the honors at this year's Macworld Conference & Expo.
I guess that marks the beginning of the end for the once illustrious show. Perhaps its a sign of the times. Or, perhaps it will only be a sign of the impending rumors that will run rampant because of this decision. Trust me, pulling out of the show will not affect Apple's sales whatsoever. Rumors and speculation however, may fuel a downward trend for the company's stock.
Over the last few years, Apple has dominated the first half of January by announcing products that consistently stole the spotlight from the massive Consumer Electronics Showcase held in Las Vegas during the same time frame. Apple's innovation and presentation has been nothing short of breathtaking.
How can you continue the pace of industry-redefining evolution?
Rumors are swirling that this year, Apple will introduce a low-price Netbook line that will be supported by iTunes and the ever-popular AppStore.
Goodbye Apple. We'll miss you from Las Vegas.

1. W1A (BBC Two, Wednesday, 10pm) is the follow up to 2012, with the Olympics swapped for the BBC, and like it's predecessor it's being massively overhyped. Jessica Hynes is still pretty funny as the thick PR Siobhan and there are some nice swipes at the Beeb, but ultimately this is an amusing, if rarely hilarious, half hour of telly that's massively pleased with itself. You can almost hear the off camera backslapping as the Claire Balding gags drop. Also, the endless jokes about corporate jargon ("Way ahead task forces", "interactive spaces" etc.), which weren't even that funny when they were done by that Tory spin doctor in The Thick of It, really must be stopped.
2. Instead of W1A, you could check out The School That Rocks (BBC Three, Wednesday, 10pm), or Spinal Tap College as it might also be called. I'm a big fan of aspiring singer Ella who doesn't want much, except to be the "the next Beyonce or Whitney", "the next Ella", and "almost like Amy Winehouse without the drugs."
3. Poor old Robert Webb. One minute he's being brilliant in Peep Show and the next he's doing the voice over for You Saw Them Here First (ITV1, Wednesday, 8pm), a clips compilation in which he tells lame jokes over archive footage of actors, celebs and sports stars making their TV debuts. Danny Dyer in a hospital bed and Downton's Mrs Hughes in a 1970s cop show were just two of the highlights of last week's instalment. I can hardly contain my excitement to see who Webby's got for us this week, but in the meantime let's remember his glory days...
4. The big soap news this week is not that Janine is going on trial for murder in EastEnders, but that Doug Willis - played by Jason Donovan's old man Terence - is heading back to Neighbours (Channel 5). The truck driving, vest wearing Aussie idol will be hitting our screens in April. As we can see from this startling picture, age has not withered him...
6. I'm not sorry I'm plugging Line of Duty (BBC Two, Wednesday, 9pm) for the second week on the spin. True Detective aside, it's currently the best thing on the box and last week's final 20 minutes in which the dastardly (or maybe not so dastardly) Mike Dryden was put through the wringer was absolutely epic television. I don't have a clue how things will go down in this week's finale, although Keeley Hawes's DI Denton still seems pretty dodgy to me, but I'm assuming the pay off's going to be spectacular.
9. Also showing is the ludicrous comedy-horror, Lake Placid (E4, Saturday, 9pm), starring cut-price Harrison Ford, Bill Pullman, and a large crocodile. An entertaining load of crap.
10. Series Four of Game of Thrones is just a few weeks away. The first episode is on Sky Atlantic on April 7 – here's the latest trailer to make you even more impatient for winter to come...

Art for Advocacys Sake
From the earliest cave paintings to Van Goghs The Potato Eaters, Picassos Guernica, and Faireys Hope, art has been used to advocate a point of view. Since art has the ability to inspire change, it has proven a worthy avenue with which to communicate the humanity of issues. And what could be more human about people than their problems?
Unfortunately, according to local artist Louis Davis, todays generation doesnt seem to be inspired by much. In his words, they lack empathy and in turn fail to come forward as the great leaders of social change. Davis hopes to correct that on a local level by showcasing a group of local visual and performance artists who use their art for advocacy. The show will include works like Mac Attack, which portrays fat, faceless Americans next to the raising of the Golden Arches over Iwo Jima, as well as Hide My Light, an update of the inscription on the Statue of Liberty to protest Arizonas immigration law.
Art as Activist opens at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Sailboat Bend Artists Lofts (1310 SW Second Court, Fort Lauderdale). Workshops, artist talks, and performances will be held every Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. until closing on July 10. Admission is free. Call 954-249-7352, or visit louisdavisart.com.

Homer resident Edna Farsdahl celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends Sunday afternoon at her home on Race Road, off East Hill Road.
Well wishers, some traveling from afar, gathered at her home to help her celebrate and remember her exciting journey for the past 100 years.
Born on a farm in Wakoti, North Dakota, Edna has had an adventurous and healthy life so far, and anticipates even more fun in the future.
As a teenager, Edna traveled by steamship to Haines in 1930, where she worked at the Haines Orphanage, cooking and caring for the children.
She then studied education at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, where she met and married Jim Farsdahl, who was then head of the Alaska Railroad. The couple had one daughter, Renee.
Jim homesteaded 160 acres up East Hill with Lloyd Race, and 10 of those acres eventually became home to Edna and her offspring.
Edna taught third grade at North Pole Elementary for 25 years. Then, after Jim died in 1975, she began traveling extensively abroad. She remembers exciting and educational trips to Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Nepal, China, Spain, Germany and Peru.
And she's not done. Recently, Edna and her daughter and her husband, Renee and Achim Jahnke, drove down the Al-can Highway in a motor home. The three traveled across many western states, starting with her home state of North Dakota, and venturing across the country to California.
Edna attributes her long life to a healthy lifestyle, being raised on a farm and keeping life exciting and well-worth living. Her family lives in a cabin close to her and helps her out as needed. Numerous friends joined her and her family to celebrate her birthday Sunday.

Now, that may sound mean, but we've lived three houses apart for lots of years, and I can't tell you how many times I've apologized for the dirt, the sweat, and, most of all, my outfits. I've been known to start weeding or watering in my pajamas (one has big red lips printed on them). I stood there with a new hole in my jeans, dirt turned to mud by my sweat and little twigs stuck in my slicked-back hair. At least I had a bra on. Jim had on a white pullover with a little dust on it. His hair looked combed. The only dirt I saw was on the knees of his pants.
The whole thing reminded me of Martha Stewart. If you believe the photos, she only wears white and always looks pristine. I try to picture her spreading steer manure. Somehow I can't pull up that imagine. It was with the same feeling of disbelief that I read about Kate the Great (that would be the new Duchess) planting a tree in heels and hose. Really?
More stories in the gardening world:
NAILING THE NUMBERS: There are lots of reasons for gardener's to be proficient in math, including understanding those mysterious three numbers on the front of fertilizer bags. Recently, I used my advanced arithmetic to figure out that I have more than three times the length (168 feet) of sidewalk as any of my non-corner-lot neighbors (50 feet). Why did I do that? I don't know. To feel validated for the electric leaf blower (no hate mail, please) I finally broke down and bought? To feel better about all the complaining I do about sweeping 168 feet of concrete? To make a point? A little of all, I guess.
OH, POOH: Did you know that Piglet gardens in "Winnie the Pooh"? Well, he does. "I am planting a haycorn, Pooh, so that it can grow up into an oak-tree, and have lots of haycorns just outside the front door instead of having to walk miles and miles, do you see, Pooh?" I don't know about Pooh, but I see.
FRUIT ID: Patenting a plant is not a new concept – though it is a new practice. Back in the early 1800s, Charles M. Hovey, a nurseryman and member of the American Pomological Society (named after the Roman goddess of fruits), published his illustrations in "The Fruits of America, Volume 1" so that "fruits could be reliably identified by growers as well as sellers, and especially by the innovators who first brought them out."
NO SURPRISE: British writer Robin Lane Fox makes a valid point: All gardeners complain about the weather. She writes, "Their grumbles begin in the historical record with the Roman poet Virgil's old man of Tarentum down in southern Italy, who protested at the lateness of spring and the unkindness of the winds."

Advertising is an odd game. It's evolved through the years to have less and less to do with the products themselves, and more to do with what sticks in a person's mind, and what an image subliminally tells them. There was an ad for orange juice at one time that featured a well-figured bikini (barely) clad woman with a glass of orange juice. The explanation given by a psychological study as to what this woman possibly had to do with orange juice was simple. Women would associate drinking orange juice with becoming more attractive. Men would think that drinking orange juice would allow them to date women of this caliber. Neither is true, but that is how advertising plays on the human mind. Then there are reggaeton songs that make you remember the phone number to dial….but you can't remember what the number is for….
Advertising has always played an angle, that is for certain, but in years past, you at least knew what the ad you were looking at was for. You also had some idea of what the product was and could do. Then we had the wave of everything under the sun being "New and Improved". It didn't matter what it was, everything in the 70s was touted as "New and Improved". In the 80s, everything was "Extra Strength", which led to the 90s "Maximum Strength", which were both "New and Improved". Funny thing being, with literally everything being "extra" or "maximum" strength, there was no longer a baseline "regular strength" to compare it to. Thankfully, in the technology world, products do actually improve with measurable results.
One product with a notable improvement is the Patriot Pyro SE 120GB SATA III SSD. Coming from an already notable lineage, the Patriot Pyro SE 120GB SSD adds synchronous NAND to its award winning design to raise the bar on performance, increasing write speeds across the board on compressed and non-compressed files. The Patriot Pyro SE 120GB features the SF-2281 second generation SandForce controller and MLC NAND Flash for stellar performance, with read/write speeds clocking in at a blistering 550/520 MB/s respectively. Patriot's DuraClass and DuraWrite Technologies extend the performance life of the Pyro SE. Full TRIM support and Intelligent Recycling handle "garbage collection" to keep speeds at maximum, even after prolonged use. The Pyro SE has best-in class ECC Protection for long, reliable drive life and maximum data retention. The Pyro SE 120GB SSD is backed by Patriot's 3-year warranty.

Video: David Cameron calls for an end to stigma related to HIV and AIDS
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
This is hardly 1985, Dave. Where is all of this stigma supposed to be coming from? You no longer see anti-AIDS headlines screaming from the pages of rags like The Sun or The Mail. And having HIV is not an automatic barrier to being employed in 2010. No, HIV stigma today is primarily gay on gay stigma. So yes, our community does have a lot to learn about what it means to be living with HIV in 2010. It is not the gruesome reality it was 25 years ago but neither is it a picnic in the park. Sadly, awareness of what living with HIV today really means is largely shrouded in ignorance, because the unpleasant realities have been air-brushed from HIV campaigns for years now. Ignorance breeds fear and fear breeds stigma, so it is supremely ironic that the worst culprit for not confronting the realities of HIV head-on in their prevention campaigning is none other than the very organization that Dave lauds in his latest speech, The Terence Higgins Trust. Which only goes to show how misinformed, out of touch and, dare I say, ignorant he himself is on the subject of HIV prevention!
It's good to see a Tory PM make such a strong supportive speech.
Just because we no longer have 'anti-AIDS headlines' doesn't mean there is no stigma out there. There is too many uneducated people out there both gay and straight that are prepared to make someone's life a misery because of beng HIV. I think I have been one of the few lucky ones (touch wood) who has always been open about my status over the last 12 years and not been put through this form of discrimination but sadly know plenty that do. Many living outside London.
The Tory government need to go one step further and actually get these facts and myths taught in schools to not only educate about HIV/AIDS but also the stigma and what that does to people. This is another area in which the last Labour lot failed on but had plenty of opportunity to sort.
Only Ed Milibland would just HIV infection rates as a political ploy rather than admit they failed to provide better prevention themselves.
The fact that Mr Cameron is collaborating with THT (which were Very helpful to me when I needed the help) shows he is trying hard to put himself out there and do his best. It is certainly more than anyone else has been prepared to do let alone listen.
Well Done Mr. Cameron.
everyone knows cameron is fake this speech is for publicity on the world stage the nhs is notoriously homophobic and that is a possible reason why many people aviod the test. who wants to have to deal with that crap and these trolls are tedious
No stigma? Are you serious? My HIV+ friends would disagree with you strongly there.
Another pathetic PR appearance and useless "message of support". Health services are being forced to slash specialist HIV support services. Only self-deprecating individuals can admire a damage that is being done to them. Masochists for master Cameron, a virtual reality.
Gay tories —-> Duhhhh!
Thats rich coming from a conservative.I`m old enough to remember all the prujudice stirred up by Thatcher and Fowler at the start of HIV and aids. Indeed-many of the were arguing that aids had nothing to do with HIV infection and that it was just gay sex that infected gay men. Hypocrites them all.
Great I'm glad that not all the commentators are trolls. Gay tories have stockholm syndrome
Funny how none of these people screaming about callmedave are commenting on ed 'the squeezed middle' millipede's world AIDS day message.
The problem is Dave you support religious homophobes like Lord Carey who got himself into hot water when he said; "You should also read nothing into the fact that I'm launching this campaign on World Gay Plague Day – sorry, World AIDS Day."
This is Lord Carey's local Village Website: http://tinyurl.com/39xnsg4
This won't change anything. You can introduce all the anti-racist laws you like, but if I don't like black people, it won't change my way of thinking. Equally apply that to gender, age, religion, disability or any other minority.

Soccer: Coupeville drops league finale, district next
In a match of missed opportunities, the Coupeville soccer team lost 2-0 to Lakewood in the Cascade Conference finale at Mickey Clark Field Friday, April 29.
The Wolves (5-10-1, 4-10) now head to Meridian (5-9-1) for the district tournament Thursday, May 5, at 5 p.m. in a loser-out, winner to tri-district game.
Lakewood (6-10, 5-9) broke up a 0-0 tie in the 53rd minute then added a late goal to finish off the Wolves.
Coupeville coach Paul Mendes said the first Cougar goal "came on a well-executed counterattack after we were pressing them hard in their goal area."
Mendes added, "It was a tough loss. We played well enough to create a number of scoring chances throughout the game. We got through their defense at least a half dozen times to be left one-on-one with their goalkeeper, but could not put the ball in the net. Their two goalkeepers stepped up to make huge saves in both halves."
The Wolves tried a variety of combinations in their attack, Mendes said, and "fought hard to the end."
"We need to keep working on being more ruthless with our opportunities to tilt these close games our way," Mendes said.

Q&A with MIPD
Here are some questions from Mercer Island residents to the Mercer Island Police Department.
I sometimes see police officers talking on cell phones while they are driving. Is it illegal for them to talk on their cell phones while driving too?
No. Authorized emergency vehicles (Police Department, Fire Department, Ambulance Vehicles, etc.) are exempt from this law.
Note: See RCW 46.61.667 (cell phone) and RCW 46.61.668 (texting) for more information on these laws. See RCW 46.04.040 on the definition for authorized emergency vehicles.
Does Mercer Island have a "jaywalking" law?
Not specifically. However, the state of Washington has a "Pedestrian on Roadway" law where it is unlawful for pedestrians to walk or otherwise move along and upon an adjacent roadway if sidewalks are provided. See RCW 46.61.250 for details on other information about walking on roadways where sidewalks are not provided.
Can I get a speeding ticket while riding my bicycle?
Yes. If you are riding your bicycle on a public roadway, you are expected to follow all of the same laws that drivers of motor vehicles are expected to follow. See RCW 46.61.755 for more information.
Are my vehicle's tabs (registration) due at the end of the month or on a specific date?
A specific date. If you look on your vehicle's current Washington state vehicle registration, find the top line/row of boxes on the registration, then look for the fourth box (left to right) over on the top line of the registration, and you should see your vehicle's specific registration due date (some registrations may vary).

By By Chloe Rodgers, Columbia Recruiting BattalionJune 30, 2011
Staff Sgt. Jeremy Frank loads packs of bottled water onto a trailer and pauses to wipe his brow. He has stopped in Fort Jackson on his way back to Morganton, N.C., before he leaves for Alabama, where he is taking loads of supplies and donations for the Alabama tornado victims.
"I'm basically raising donations for the people that need it. A lot of people are getting help but there are a lot that aren't getting anything," Frank said. "This is just something I feel like I need to do as a Soldier."
Frank is taking over two weeks of un-paid personal leave from the Morganton Recruiting Station to personally collect donations and drive and deliver the supplies to Alabama in early July.
"I always say, 'Do good to others and good comes to you,'" Frank said.
And good he is doing. Frank has tirelessly gone door-to-door in Morganton to ask neighbors and local companies for donations for the Alabama victims.
"I'm taking roughly 4,000 pounds of bottled water, 50 boxes of clothes, about 100 packs of baby wipes and baby food; some washers and dryers, some furniture ... . I've just been going out and asking my neighbors what they can give. It's for a good cause, and I think these people down in Alabama need all the help they can get."
Frank's do-good attitude comes from a background of military service and volunteer work. Coming from a military family, Frank joined the Army in 2004. He now lives in Charlotte and works in Morganton. Frank has also worked with Camp Good Days & Special Times, a children's camp for kids who are dealing with cancer. He works with the camp at least once a year, and has been doing so for the past eight years. Frank's love of helping people has surpassed duty and become a personal mission - like his current mission for the Alabama victims.
"I think the Alabama victims need more help than they're getting right now, and someone's got to do it " and I'm glad to be that person."
Frank is currently in Morganton until he leaves for Alabama July 6. He is still asking for donations. Individuals in the Morgantown area who would like to donate items to Alabama tornado victims, can call Frank at (877) 267-8956. All donations are appreciated.

Most fundraisers dedicated to oil spill recovery efforts tell you where the money will go. The upcoming Coast Aid Benefit lets you decide.
The event is sponsored by Mississippi-based Navigator Credit Union, and culminates in a concert that will take place Sept. 2 at Soul Kitchen Music Hall, 219 Dauphin St. in Mobile.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. that night for a benefit show featuring regional favorites Grayson Capps & the Stumpknockers opening for headliner Colt Ford. Admission will be $9.49; advance tickets are available through www.coastaid.us.
It should be a fun night: Capps is known for raucous roots-rock, while Ford describes himself as "a walking, talking 300-pound celebration of country music and country living."
But you don't have to wait until showtime to take part. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't.
Navigator has launched an online poll to determine which oil spill relief organization will receive the proceeds from the event. The Credit Union has guaranteed a minimum donation of $5,000.
Potential recipients include the Audubon Society, Ducks Unlimited, the Institute for Marine Mammals and the United Way.
Voting is open now and continues until 7 p.m. Sept. 2. For information, visit www.coastaid.us or www.facebook.com/navigatorcreditunion.
The folks at TNA Wrestling also want to apply some of their abundant muscle to problems stemming from the Gulf oil spill. As part of the franchise's visit to Mobile tonight, Aug. 12, they're offering an incentive to fans who help with that.
"Mobile and the entire Gulf Coast have always been great towns for professional wrestling," TNA Wrestling Founder Jeff Jarrett said in a statement announcing details of the plan. "Now that the oil spill in the Gulf has been capped, we want to help 'Cap Hunger' for those families in need."
TNA is collecting canned goods today on behalf of the Bay Area Food Bank. From noon to 8 p.m. today, anybody who brings canned goods to the Mobile Civic Center box office will get a free autographed photo of TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam. TNA also is encouraging fans to make donations to the oil spill virtual relief drive at www.bayareafoodbank.org.
Doors open at 6:30 for tonight's TNA show, with the action getting under way at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $15.

Last week's Photoshopping marathon left me with a pile of pictures to use on my gone but not forgotten dog Red's new copper memorial urn: Red at Salmon Creek Beach; Red harvesting tomatoes in Santa Rosa; Red playing Yahtzee in Tempe. My current mission is to use as many of them as possible in a teeny-tiny space.
The can was 10" tall. To leave a decent amount of copper showing at the top and bottom of the band, the collage could be no larger than 5" tall. To wrap the can horizontally, it must be 12.75" long. My cutting mat came in handy, as it ingeniously has a measurement grid printed on its surface. I laid out the images in a 4" x 12.75" section. After some switching and swapping they fell into place.
I planned to adhere the images to vellum ($1/12"x12" sheet) with glue and attach the whole thing to one of the fancy printed papers I purchased ($.75/12"x12" sheet). I brushed a thin layer of Golden Self Leveling Clear Acrylic Gel ($12.00) to the back of some test images and applied them to the vellum, quickly realizing this was not going to work (the vellum immediately started to curl and pucker). Instead, I decided to glue the pictures directly to the paper. I cut a sheet 5" x 12.75," which allowed room for a 1/2" top and bottom border. I drew a pencil line delineating the borders within which to contain the photos.
To make the collage dimensional, I picked a few of my favorite photos to back with glitter mat stock ($9). I cut pieces of mat stock about an 1/8" larger than each image attached them with Acrylic Gel.
Ready...set...GLUE! I applied Acrylic Gel to the backside of each image (including the three glitter-edged shots) with a paintbrush, and pieced the collage into permanence. I let it dry for half an hour, then brushed a thin layer of gel across the top of the entire surface to provide a layer of protection and a shimmery sheen. (This also sealed any edges I missed in the glueing down stage). I left the collage to dry overnight.

The 2013 NFL Draft grades and analysis are all in, with many of the experts giving general manager Jerry Reese and the Giants a "B" mark for this year's draft.
Here's a roundup of what the national media is saying about the Giants' 2013 draft, which consisted of OT Justin Pugh, DT Johnathan Hankins, DE Damontre Moore, QB Ryan Nassib, S Cooper Taylor, G Eric Herman and RB Michael Cox.
NJ.com readers
B (in our poll). "I cannot support the 1st round decision on Thursday. Seriously? Justin Pugh over Sharrif Floyd, Desmond Trufant, Xavier Rhodes, or Tyler Eifert?" -Mickster
Chris Burke, Sports Illustrated
B. "Lots of upside here. We'll have to see how much immediate impact the Giants get."
Jen Floyd Engel, Fox Sports
A. "This class will swing on whether third-round D-tackle Damontre Moore is a hit, but he looks like yet another big-time front-seven Giants player."
Peter Schrager, Fox Sports
B. "I'm shocked they didn't draft a cornerback on Days 1 or 2, though. That's an area of need."
Alex Marvez, Fox Sports
C. "They have a good history of drafting offensive and defensive lineman, but Syracuse tackle/guard Justin Pugh at No. 19 feels like a reach."
Mel Kiper, ESPN
C+." They get a C for needs and a B for value, with Mel downgrading them for failing to address cornerback or linebacker."
Rob Rang, CBS Sports
B. "Nassib's fall could prove to be the Giants' gain. While Eli Manning's job is certainly safe, Nassib possesses the ideal toughness and professionalism to serve as a backup quarterback."
Nate Davis, USA Today Sports
B-. "Round 1 OL Justin Pugh seems close to "can't miss"; Round 2 DT Johnathan Hankins, not so much."
Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
C+. "It's a perfectly acceptable draft by a team that understands where it is. The Giants addressed some important needs, but didn't exactly get anyone spectacular with this draft."
Mike Wilkening, Pro Football Talk
No grade given. "The Giants have the core needed to contend now, and several members of this draft could be complementary contributors toward those efforts in 2013."
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News
B. "With GM Jerry Reese, the Giants tend to draft for beyond the current year, but they ended up with three strong, athletic linemen who can make an immediate impact."
Bucky Brooks, NFL.com
B. "If Moore falls in line with the Giants' blue-collar approach, he could be the sack artist this team needs to complement Jason Pierre-Paul."

Man gets 10 years in fatal crash
WARREN – A 43-year-old Diamond man was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday after killing a Newton Falls couple while driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Paul Wodianka apologized briefly to the family of Jamie, 37, and Emily Danes, 29, killed Sept. 21 – the night they celebrated their wedding anniversary – on South Canal Street, south of Hott-West Road.
Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge W. Wyatt McKay handed down the sentence that was agreed upon by an assistant prosecutor and Wodianka's attorney. He also suspended Wodianka's driver's license for life.
Wodianka, who has remained in jail since the crash, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, DUI and four counts of drug possession for what state troopers said were sedatives in his system with a blood alcohol content of just under the legal limit.
More than 15 members of the Danes family along with friends were in court to watch the sentencing, including four family members who read victim impact statements.
A prosecutor's representative read the most touching statement, written by 8-year-old Brendan Danes, who lost his parents in the crash:
"Dear Paul, Can you stop drunk driving, so people don't get hurt? I want you to know that my parents meant everything to me. I remember they went to a movie and never returned. I've been sadder than I've ever been. I wish they didn't die that soon," the boy wrote.
The mothers of each victim read their own statements along with John Danes, Jamie's brother, and Mark Kivimaki, the brother of Emily.
"As for what I would like to see happen to Paul Wodianka, nothing is going to bring Emily and Jamie back. The defendant didn't just take my sister and brother-in-law, he took away a child, parents, sibling, a godmother, a granddaughter, a niece, a cousin and a friend to many," Kivimaki told the judge.
"If you kill someone with a gun or a knife, you can spend the rest of your life in prison. Because Mr. Wodianka chose to use a car, his sentence is significantly lower," Kivimaki said.
Assistant county prosecutor Michael Burnett explained that Wodianka did not have prescription for any of the three types of drugs that were in his system and he had a prior conviction in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for drug possession in March 2011.
Burnett said Wodianka was driving his 1997 Cadillac Seville over the speed limit when he drifted left of center, crashing into the car carrying the couple.
Wodianka was driving north on South Canal at a high rate of speed, while the Daneses were traveling south on South Canal. Wodianka then drove left of center, striking the couple's 2005 Chevrolet Impala head-on.
He had been charged with DUI at least three times in the past, most recently in 2010.

Only one person on this season's Tulane women's basketball team knows what it's like to play in the NCAA Tournament -- and she wasn't wearing a green jersey when she did it.
Texas Christian transfer Danielle Nunn was surprised by an at-large tournament berth her freshman year.
"As a freshman, it was a little overwhelming, " Nunn said. "We played on UConn's home court. You have to play like it is your very last game, because you never know what is going to happen."
Nunn said it's difficult to impart the experience to her current teammates. The Green Wave has had all weekend to process the idea of making the field -- Tulane knew it was in when it won the Conference USA tournament last week -- and the 12th-seeded Green Wave seems fairly grounded headed into Saturday's first-round matchup in Tempe, Ariz., with No. 5-seed Georgia.
The Green Wave isn't too concerned with being the underdog. In fact, it's welcomed, according to Nunn.
"I like the position we are in with the 12 seed, " Nunn said. "The 12 seed with the five (seed) is usually the upset. Anyone can come out on any given day and beat their opponent. That is why you have to go into the game respecting everybody and just play really, really hard."
There are a couple of myths to knock out right off the bat.
First, Georgia, despite its seed, isn't going to overlook Tulane. Lady Bulldogs Coach Andy Landers has kept a copy of the local paper that illustrated his team's first-round 2009 NCAA loss as an 11th seed to No. 6 seed Arizona State, and used it to humble the 2010 bunch.
"We really just want to be more focused for the game and come ready to play, " Georgia sophomore Meredith Mitchell said. "We don't want to have that feeling again, especially for the first round."
The second myth to dissolve is the sentiment that Tulane will arrive in Tempe with its eyes open wide and jaws dropping to the hardwood.
This team doesn't get star-struck, according to Coach Lisa Stockton. It didn't when it played LSU into overtime in November, and it didn't waver through an injury-riddled season.
"We won 10 out of our last 11; we got something going here, " Stockton said. "One thing we talked about at practice (on Monday) is that the difference between the NCAA Tournament and the regular season is the intensity level. It rises, because everyone is fighting to survive. One thing I feel great about with this team is this team plays hard every game, and I think it is something that won't overwhelm them -- and I've had teams that have been overwhelmed by that intensity.
"We're going to go after it, and we're going to see what we need to do to compete and defeat Georgia. And we're going to do that the same way we've done (all season)."
Tulane could have backed into the tournament with an at-large bid -- something that looked fairly solid as the Green Wave headed into the league title game last week. But the Green Wave pushed on, winning the crown and bid outright.
It did so with the same combination that has solved every problem this season.
"The biggest challenges have been the injuries that we faced the entire season, " junior guard Tiffany Aidoo said. "People had to come out and play different positions, and people have stepped up. This team is a balanced team, and that really helped us a lot. We don't really have one go-to player and that really hurts our opponents as well because it is hard for them to stop."
And the trip to Arizona isn't a distraction, either. Aidoo said she couldn't care less whether she's in California or Oklahoma.
"It's nothing really, we played there last year in the preseason WNIT against Arizona and I guess we're prepared, " Aidoo said. "We'd play anywhere. We're there to play basketball, so I guess we'll just play. There's nothing more I can say."

Flying like a bat
Frankenbird at the university
Within this context of renewed scientific interest in flapping wings, a researcher from Greg Dimitriadis' team, Norizham Abdul Razak, has developed an exceptional tool: a robot bird, which the researchers in Liège are hesitating to call "Frankenbird" for fear of giving it a bad reputation. The aim of the machine isn't to terrorise the population, but to simulate a bird in flight. Frankenbird – the result of two years' work – resembles a large winged suppository, with a one-metre wingspan and 60 centimetres in length. Inside the robot, and electric motor and high precision mechanics provide the wings with two different movements: an up and down movement and a pitching movement. "In nature, the combination of these two movements increases flight efficiency", explains Greg Dimitriadis. With this exceptional machine, the researchers in Liège will be able to study flight from almost every angle. "For instance, we can modify the rhythm of the beating, the combination of movements and of course the shape and size of the wings." Frankenbird is designed to fly with wings measuring from several dozen centimetres, up to approximately one metre. "We had to make a choice", explains Greg Dimitriadis. "In nature, the largest birds have a wingspan of three or four metres and the smallest ones a few centimetres. We chose the intermediate size."

I'm having this problem as well. I have 2 HR24's and each time I reset one the other can watch all the shows but the one of them cannot. Which one can't watch them changes based on which one you restart. So it's like a cycle I could take turn restarting each box all night,
Sounds like an IP address conflict. Check system info on each box to see what addresses are assigned.

Murray visits Whidbey beach
"U.S. Senator Patty Murray came to Whidbey Island Aug. 4 to meet on the beach with members of the Island County Marine Resources Committee.Murray, along with U.S. Congressman Jack Metcalf, R-Langley, provided the leadership to bring about local Marine Resource Committees in each county that belongs to the Northwest Straits Commission. That commission was created to focus on the protection and enhancement of the marine resources of northern Puget Sound.Don Meehan, Island County WSU Extension Agent, organized the Marine Resources Committee, which is chaired by Clinton resident Mike Gallion.Meehan said the purpose of Sen. Murray's visit was to update her on activities of the committee. She's real interested in what we're doing, he said last week. We've only been in action for a year, and we've done an awful lot of stuff.As Murray walked along the beach in Coupeville, the tide was low and the rocks were covered with green eelgrass which, not coincidentally, has been a major focus of the Marine Resources Committee.Using grant money, the committee has embarked on a $25,000 study of eelgrass in Island County. It provides critical habitat to many marine species, such as herring and crabs, and is essential to salmon survival.About $4,000 of that grant money was used to send out an eelgrass survey to shoreline property owners. Volunteers from the Beach Watchers group walked miles of beach to inventory eelgrass. Most of the remainder of the grant money will be spent on underwater videography which, when used with the GPS mapping system, will, as Meehan said, tell us exactly where the eelgrass is growing. That survey is scheduled to be conducted this fall.Meehan said Murray seemed quite happy with the committee's progress. We're charging, he said.The committee's goal is to protect important areas of Puget Sound through voluntary action, Meehan stressed. He expects it to stay in action for at least five years.Members include Gallion, Tom Campbell, Jan Holmes, Matt Klope, Meehan, Tom Roehl, Linda Schoenharl, Tom Shaughnessy, Dick Toft and Gary Wood. There is one vacancy that needs to be filled.The next meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. at the Monroe Landing Fire Hall on North Whidbey. The meetings are usually educational and are open to the public.BeachWatchers record eelgrassInventorying the eelgrass in Island County has taken many miles of walking by volunteers, many with the BeachWatchers organization.During the extreme summer low tides, for example, Robert Barnes and Karine Johnson-Werner walked the 6.9 miles between East Point (Fox Spit) and Sandy Point.In his written report, Barnes said he was most pleased to report that eelgrass was present over the entire distance except the following:1. About the first 50 feet south of the beacon at East Point.2. About 150 feet opposite the Park Avenue street ending in Langley.3. Immediately next to and under the piers at Nichols Brothers and Langley Marina.4. The Small Boat Harbor in Langley.5. About 700 feet of shoreline extending eastward from a point lying 1,440 feet west of the pier at Sandy Point.6. Immediately next to and under the pier at Sandy Point.7. About 325 feet of shoreline west of the beacon at Sandy Point.This and other similar reports from around Whidbey and Camano islands will help tell the Marine Resources Committee which areas are most in need of protection.

Gambling up and attendance down in NYRA's second quarter
The second quarter of 2013 for the New York Racing Association saw total handle increase by four percent and attendance drop 12 percent.
Total handle during the quarter, which included 15 days of the Aqueduct meet and 47 days of the Belmont meet, exceed expectations by $15.7 million, according to information compiled in advance of Wednesday's meeting of the NYRA Board of Directors. Gambling increased four percent on NYRA races during this period, which was responsible for a 1 percent increase overall on American races.
The meeting book for Wednesday's board of directors meeting is available below.
For the first six months of the year, NYRA's net income was $8.2 million, which was two percent higher than the net income at this point last year and is 28 percent higher than projected in the budget. The favorable number, according to information in the meeting book, is due to increase VLT revenue and decreased non-operating expenses.
The board is expected to approve the charters for some of its committee, including the compensation committee. It's responsibilities are below:
1. Review CEO compensation for the year and any increase and bonus.
2. Develop goals for the following year by which to determine the CEO's performance.
3. Review salaries of the CEO's direct reports based on recommendations made by
4. Review annually the compensation plans in place for other employees, including

Pain & Gain screened after WW deadlines, but Michael Nordine did his critic's duty. Expecting a great deal of pain and awfully little gain, he was pleasantly surprised.
Critic's Grade: B-
Tooth Fairy
Tooth Fairy
Pain & Gain
Johnson plays Paul Doyle, an accomplice of Lugo's. Doyle is a mostly gentle giant who gets in over his head, but he remains the closest thing the film has to a moral compass. Lugo (whose narrated manifesto includes lines like âThe way to prove yourself is to better yourselfâthatâs the American dreamâ) decides to be a âdoerâ after attending a self-improvement seminar. That in mind, he launches a plot to part a wealthy client (Shalhoub) from his considerable fortune. The ensuing hijinks feature all the slow-mo, violence, bottle-blondes and casual homophobia weâve come, resentfully, to expect from Bay. Whatâs unexpected, however, is that Pain & Gain still occasionally manages to transcend the mindless, bringing to mind the much more nuanced Bernie in its examination of outwardly likable villains and what the private investigator played by Harris would call âvery difficult victims.â People donât much care when bad things happen to bad people.
Bayâs evocation of all thatâs wrong with his antiheroes' American Dream could hardly be spelled out more clearly, but how many of his films can be said to rest upon an ideological foundation of any kind? Pain & Gain tells a story so perfectly suited to its director's music-video aesthetic that it almost seems immaterial whether said filmmaker knows (or cares) that heâs part of the surface-level pursuits his film both glamorizes and laments.

Times Cinema to reopen Dec. 28
The Times Cinema will reopen Friday with floodlight hitting the skies, a red carpet purportedly filled with paparazzi and "Django Unchained" on the screen.
The Times, at 5906 W. Vliet St., has been closed since March, when the lender for the building and other properties, including the Rosebud Cinema in Wauwatosa, began foreclosure proceedings. Investor Lee Barczak, who owns the Avalon Theatre property in the Bay View neighborhood, bought the Times and Rosebud at a foreclosure auction in May, and reopened the Rosebud in August »Read Full Article(1)
Bright lights outshine Trans-Siberian Orchestra in ho-hum show
Taking on Christmas staples with a blend of symphonic bombast and progressive rock drama, Trans-Siberian Orchestra brought a much needed edge to the pleasant, ho-hum holiday music landscape beginning in 1996 , and in the process TSO has become one of the highest-grossing touring acts in North America.
But right before the start of the first of two TSO shows at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, there was a curious sound, or really a lack of a sound. Following some meek applause when the lights went dark, the crowd strangely grew quiet, to the point that the only noise was the awkward, quiet hiss of fog machines. »Read Full Article(14)

- 1 c. {two sticks} of REAL unsalted BUTTER, softened
- 1 1/2 c. confectioner's sugar
- 1 egg
- 2-3 tsp flavoring {pick what you like, I prefer almond}
- 2 1/2-2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
Cream together softened butter and confectioner's sugar. Crack the egg into a separate bowl, and add the flavoring. I use emulsions, but extract also works well. Add that to the butter sugar mixture and mix until the egg is thoroughly incorporated. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add little by little to the mixture.

FLINT TOWNSHIP, Michigan — A discount retailer growing in urban and underserved communities will open a store later this week in the former Burlington Coat Factory locale in the Genesee Crossing shopping center.
Forman Mills Clothing Factory Warehouse, which features namebrands "at really shocking ridiculous prices," opens at 9 a.m. July 28 and begins its grand opening weekend at 7 a.m. July 30. The 55,000-square-foot store is located at 3593 Miller Road.
"Michigan has been good for us," Rick Forman, founder and CEO said, adding the company has three stores in the Detroit area and it watched competitors move to Flint. "We scouted it out and there's a lot of people there and it looked like a good opportunity."
Forman Mills officials expect to create more than 200 jobs through the store opening.
"They expect they've created now more than $1 million worth of (annual) payroll," said Jennifer L. Cherry of marketing and public relations firm Marx Layne & Co.
Juwan Thomas, 30, of Flint was happy to land a job at Forman Mills after his U.S. Census Bureau work ended in early June.
"I love it," said Thomas, who is working part-time and is the head of the shoe department.
"It's a good environment to be around.... All they ask for is good energy, good attitude and to be productive."
The New Jersey-based company, which now has 30 stores across the East coast and Midwest, sells infants/toddler, men's, women's and children's clothing ranging from denim and dresses to sportswear, shoes, school uniforms and home fashions.
The Flint Township store — packed full of products — features items such as school uniform pieces for kids priced at $5.99 and above, a women's skirt and blazer set for $8.99, eight men's T-shirts for $10 and a men's Rocawear shirt for $24.99. It also carries plus sizes for women and big and tall sizes for men.
Burlington Coat Factory in 2007 moved to the Genesee Valley shopping center, leaving a large vacancy in the shopping center.
"Any time we can fill a building that's sat vacant for awhile, that's a good thing," said Tracey Tucker, economic enhancement director for Flint Township.
The Forman Mills store may not be the only redevelopment in the works in Flint Township. Tucker said there has been some interest in the old Circuit City location, 4071 Miller Road, and a restaurant is being planned to reopen in the former Rib City Grill, 4150 Miller Road.
"Things have been looking positive this year," she said.

Cuckold Culture
An increasing number of men are becoming comfortable with the notion of their wives or girlfriends engaging in sex with someone other than themselves. These cuckolders are challenging conventional norms of marriage, monogamy and masculinity. While certainly not a new phenomenon, cuckolding has proliferated with the pervasiveness of the Internet. The rise of cuckold culture is evident through a browse on the World Wide Web which produces countless sites devoted to cuckoldry: pornography, networking, blogs, and forums and groups that offer advice and support.
Many people are unfamiliar with cuckoldry as an alternative lifestyle. A cuckold is customarily referred to a man who has an adulterous wife. But as a current sexual trend, more often than not, it is the husband that is begging to watch his wife have sex with another man. Of course, this is not confined to marriage. A number of people in committed relationships are exploring the sexual options that cuckoldry can bring to their relationship. While the woman may take on one or several lovers, her male partner stays monogamous and sometimes even celibate.
There are three roles in this kind of relationship. The wife or girlfriend that enjoys cuckoldry is often referred to as a "hot wife." The man who derives sexual pleasure from watching his wife or girlfriend have sex with other men is a "cuck ." The additional male lover in this relationship is a "bull" or a "stud." The terms "cuck" and "stud" delineate personality and behavior in the context of cuckoldry . The cuck takes on the role of beta male implying a deficiency of virility that may manifest itself in smaller penis size, infertility, impotence, or weakness whereas the stud plays the role of alpha male symbolizing virility, potency, larger penis, masculinity and strength.
Many people have a hard time wrapping their heads around the concept of consensual infidelity; what sane man would want to watch his woman have sex with another man? Dan Savage, sexpert and columnist, recently explained his theory on cuckoldry. He writes that it is likely that the cuckolding fetish a subconscious, sexual fear. "While most of us learn to live with and occasionally conquer our fears without eroticizing them, a number of us respond to sexual fears or traumas by incorporating them into our erotic imaginations… And what do many straight men fear? Being cheated on, of course, and dealing with that particular brand of sexual humiliation," wrote Savage. Subconsciously or consciously, some men may eroticize their fears of being cheated on by turning it into a sexual fantasy.
But it is not necessarily the man in the relationship that initiates the cuckoldry. Despite the fact that they are in a committed relationship and love their partner, some women find that their sexual appetite is insatiable and cannot be completely fulfilled by their partner. Oftentimes, the male partner in the relationship agrees to be cuckolded simply because the amount of joy it brings his wife or girlfriend. In an interview with Nerve.com, Kurt, who practices cuckolding with his wife, Christina, comments on one of their studs: "He fills her up. I love watching her react to his bigger dick because I can't provide her that. I get off on the truth, on what's real."
Cuckolding is not a new phenomenon. The earliest written usage of the word is found in a Middle English derivation "cokewold" in 1250. Geoffrey Chaucer made references to cuckolding in the 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales. His stories illustrated the norms of medieval society. "The Miller's Tale" depicts cuckolds as objects of ridicule and mockery. In medieval culture, the husband with the adulterous wife was made fun of and publicly sanctioned.
In the 1800s, author of erotic novel Venus in Furs, Leopold Von Socher-Masoch (of whom the term "masochism" derives from) apparently had fantasies of an adulterous wife. One character in his story tells his lover: "Suffering has a peculiar attraction for me. Nothing can intensify my passion more than tyranny, cruelty and especially the faithlessness of a beautiful woman." His former wife, Aurora Rümelin, recounts in her memoirs numerous times that her husband begged her to cuckold him so that he could experience the pain and humiliation of his wife taking on another lover. He went so far as to unsuccessfully orchestrate meetings between his wife and potential lovers. She refused, which led to the end of their marriage.
Cuckolding is a very controversial fetish. First, it challenges the conventional bounds of masculinity and patriarchy. The husband or boyfriend subordinates his masculinity and security by allowing another man to sexually pleasure his partner. Cucks are often accused of being "wimps" and "pussies" and not man enough to keep their partner sexually satisfied. How does a man maintain his dignity in the face of such an extreme sexual circumstance?
To answer the argument, a woman who is identified as "*B*" on a Tribe.net group called Ethical Cuckolding finds that "cuckolds are strong, secure, dominant men. They are not afraid of the part of sexuality that frightens most men…seeing their lover or wife receiving pleasure with someone else." And while the cucks may take on a submissive role in the bedroom, they often take a dominant role in orchestrating the set up and planning of their sexual encounters.
Cuckolding also flies directly in the face of what is considered an acceptable relationship: monogamous. Religious marriage vows strictly enforce that both partners remain exclusive to each other in matrimony. Adultery is forbidden in the Ten Commandments. 1 Corinthians 7:4 in the Bible states that the wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. Not only is having more than one sexual partner frowned upon from a religious and moral standpoint, many people simply cannot fathom the idea of their partner having another lover without extreme jealousy.
Others find lifestyles like cuckolding, swinging and polyamory as copouts for the difficulties of maintaining a monogamous relationship. In her blog "Smut and Steff," blogger Steff writes that these alternative lifestyles "are ways people have conceived of to take the sting out of the difficulty that comes with monogamy. I believe they probably truly do love the primary person in their relationship, but that the hard times overwhelm them, so incorporating others into the relationship is their way of minimizing the emotional intensity. I think some people have issues with monogamy."
The couples that practice cuckoldry would disagree; for them, the sexual excitement that cuckolding delivers brings them closer. Jealousy is not really a factor for these couples, either; the additional lover to the mix can be more like a tool that enhances the primary couples' sexual dynamic. Morality is not really a question since all members are consensual and everyone is getting what they desire.
What it ultimately comes down to is sexual pleasure for all parties involved. The cuckolding couples hope that with the growing visibility of cuckolding, there will be increased acceptance and tolerance of their lifestyle. While cuckoldry may be unthinkable to many, for others it provides a sexual outlet for desires that may have previously gone unmet.

Mercer Island High School grad hopes to honor mother's memory
It will be 11 years this August since David Mjelde's mother died after a long struggle with colon cancer. He was just 7 years old.
It was his mother, Susie Mjelde Lindquist, who inspired the colon cancer awareness campaign called 'Get Your Rear in Gear.' Since its formation by her family a dozen years ago, the charity has spread its influence and financial support of colon cancer prevention and research campaigns across the United States through events that include the Mercer Island Rotary Run.
Her son, David Mjelde, a 2013 graduate of Mercer Island High School, aims to continue to make colon cancer awareness a major goal as he moves on to the next phase of his life. Mjelde will attend the University of Arizona in Tucson this fall.
He said he is considering a range if majors. Perhaps physiology or even sports marketing.
Although barely in elementary school when his mother died, he said he thought she was pretty special.
She was passionate about helping others understand what was at stake with colon cancer, he said, of her struggle to live. It was she who came up with the phrase 'Get Your Rear in Gear.' She was funny.
"She did not want anyone else's 7-year-old kid to lose their mother," he said.
When Mjelde was still very young and his mother was undergoing treatment, the family formed the "Susie Lindquist-Mjelde Colon Cancer Coalition."
Mjelde said he has participated in many Rotary Run events. He has raised money for cancer causes on his own.
He said his commitment to the fight against colon cancer has grown stronger. He hopes that he can establish an event, perhaps in Tucson, to further fundraising and awareness of the disease.
In the years that have followed his mother's death, Mjelde misses his mother in a different sort of way.
"Now, as I get older, I can't remember her very well anymore," he said. "Luckily, my family can step in and tell me the stories all over again."
David Mjelde was born 12 years after his brother, Gavin, and is 16 years younger than his sister, Heather.
When his mother died in 2002, Mjelde was with his aunt Kristin Tabor at a Target store on an errand on their way to see her. The 7-year-old was suddenly sick and threw up. It turned out that it was the same moment his mother had died.
A few months after her death, his father married the spouse of another colon cancer victim. The two formed a lively new clan from the tragedies.
Yet, Mjelde said that the loss of his mother taught him that he had to be independent. He felt he did not have that one parent who was tapping on his shoulder to monitor his life.
"I learned that I had to be in charge. I had to be the one to study, keep myself healthy, study and handle the social life," he said.
As independent as he is, he values the connections with others.
"Connectedness is very important to me. It is something I value," he said.
As Mjelde heads to college, he will be near his grandparents. The spirit of his mother and legacy will be there with him, too.
