Online scratch cards are a lot of fun to play. In fact, they are often even more entertaining than playing scratch games in real life. The reason is because the online games are interactive, and usually have animations and sounds. You can take your time and scratch each selected space one by one, or you can choose to reveal the card all at once. There is no mess and no fuss, just scratch and win!
Not every online gambling destination on the web offers digital scratch tickets. Therefore, if you'd like to enjoy these games, you will want to choose a premium site, like Playmillion Online Casino. This reputable internet casino offers a variety of scratch games that can be downloaded for free or played instantly, directly from your web browser.
However, if you crave more than just scratch entertainment, this online casino brand offers plenty of other excitement, such as Pirates Treasure Hunt. This is a thrilling 20-payline slot game with 5 reels. Based on a pirate theme, players spin the reels for their chance to find the hidden treasure. On their journey to the jackpot they may also encounter various bonus features and games.
Likewise, Unicorn Legend is another exciting 5-reel, multi-line video slot that will dazzle and impress. Spin the reels of this dynamic slot and escape to a fantasy world where unicorns live and magic thrives. Enjoy wild symbols, multipliers, free spins, and more.
It doesn't matter if you chose to try your luck at slots or you seek an instant win with scratch games, there is lots of fast and fun gambling action waiting for you online.

Federal Way students raise salmon hatchlings | PHOTOS
Courtesy of Deb Stenberg:
Last week, 13 Federal Way schools received deliveries of recently hatched salmon fry as part of the Storming the Sound with Salmon project.
The collaboration between Federal Way Public Schools and the City of Federal Way is providing students with hands-on learning opportunities in science, technology, ecology, engineering and mathematics. Students will raise the salmon until they are ready to be released into Hylebos Creek later this spring.
The participating schools are: Brigadoon Elementary, Camelot Elementary, Lakota Middle School, Lakeland Elementary, Mirror Lake Elementary, Panther Lake Elementary, Saghalie Middle School, Sequoyah Middle School, Sherwood Forest Elementary, Star Lake Elementary, Twin Lakes Elementary, Wildwood Elementary and Woodmont K-8 School.
The effort is supported by a $73,000 Department of Ecology Municipal Stormwater Grant of Regional or Statewide Significance.
The tiny fish are called avelin at this stage. They are very young fry and still have their egg attached. In the wild, they hide in the gravel at the bottom of a stream until the egg is gone and they are large enough to start scavenging for food. In these pictures, they primarily show up as orange blobs among the gravel:

HALIFAX – Dylan Blenkhorn found himself back on top of the podium again over the weekend, claiming top spot at the Atlantic Cat 250 on the Maritime Pro Stock Tour.
Blenkhorn, the 19-year-old Truro native, took the lead on lap 241 and held on for the remaining nine, battling off Maine's Ben Rowe for the win.
After leading for 131 laps, Blenkhorn also picked up the Linde Most Laps Led award and netted more than $13,000 for the win.
It was the third win of the season for the son of local racing veteran Paul Blenkhorn, after picking up back-to-back victories early in the season.
Blenkhorn now sits third in points standings with 1535, just short of John Flemming in first with 1611 and Shawn Tucker in second with 1581.
Prior to the race, a ceremony was held to retire the number 00 of Scott Fraser, the Maritime racing legend from Shubenacadie who passed away in 2002, and the 24 of Scott Kelly who passed away from cancer in 1999.

Two local wrestling standouts will meet in the cage Saturday at Rumble at the Roseland 45. Jake Morris, a state champion while at Oregon City High School, will take on John Bartlett, a state placer while at West Linn, for the 155-pound Full Contact Fighting Federation title. Also on the card, Dave Krohn of Team Quest will fight Sean Miller (Karrma) for the bantamweight title.
The wrestling flavor extends to the undercard where former state champions Denny and Brandon Linton of Willamina will fight Wes Young and Dominic Sepe, respectively.
But the FCFF is taking advantage of the two Three Rivers League schools, both bitter wrestling rivals and among the best programs in the state. Morris, who also placed second and third in the high school state tournament, met mixed martial arts star Chael Sonnen, a former West Linn wrestler, while still at Oregon City.
Sonnen became "a role model and mentor," according to Morris and the younger fighter followed Sonnen to Team Quest near Gresham, one of the top MMA gyms in the nation.
"I am around a lot of great guys, I trust them with my training and to guide me in the right direction - I don't have to think about it a lot." Morris said.
Morris is enrolled at Clackamas Community College for the fall term and has plans to win a junior college national title and transfer to a four-year school.
Bartlett's focus is entirely on mixed martial arts and a win on Saturday could move him one step closer to becoming a professional fighter
"I really want this," he said. "I want to win, I want to become a professional fighter - I cannot imagine sitting behind a desk everyday."
Bartlett trains at Premier Martial Arts. His regimen includes more than two hours per day, six days a week at Premier plus additional cardio.
"I want to win this championship in the FCFF, because it's the league that matters," Bartlett said. "Winning here is a big deal."
"This fight between Morris and Bartlett is going to be huge. It's hard to put into words," FCFF matchmaker Kevin Keeney said. "They are both young, and extremely talented. Bartlett is the 155-pound Superfight champ and Morris is undefeated and has taken down some big players. We will just have to wait and see. It's been a long time since I have been this anxious to see a fight."
Tickets are available at Ticketswest.com or at Safeway Tickets west locations. For more information, go to www.theFCFF.com.

Yea, Weeden he is the man until the bye week and he is replaced."

This time, the Space Needle state won
Unless theres a last-minute upset in the vote counting, our biennial election day luncheon gathering of current and ex-politicians along with a few fringies like me guessed right on four of the five initiatives.
We said performance audits, the smoking ban and gasoline tax repeal would pass but doctors tort reform and trial lawyers tort reform would fail.
We were wrong on gas tax repeal.
Former longtime Secretary of State Ralph Munro was there and I called him after the election to get his reaction to what happened. Hes one of the savviest pols around, popular with Democrats as well as his own Republicans, and the one who originally declared Washington to be not one state but two in its voting habits.
If you stand on top of the Space Needle, says Ralph, everything you can see from there, which is the Seattle metropolis area, is inhabited by liberal, social-oriented Democrats. Thats the Space Needle state. If you stand on the pinnacles of the Goat Rocks, which is a mountain south of there, you can see everything in the state except Seattle, which is hidden from view by Mount Rainier. Thats the Goat Rocks state, inhabited by conservatives, independents and Republicans.
What caused the big turnaround in the gas tax repeal measure, which had been considered a sure shot right up until the last week? People are finally coming to the conclusion that it is easier to keep the infrastructure up rather than replace it when it falls down, said Munro.
It was the people in the Space Needle state that did it, I said. Everybody on the east side of the Sound is stuck in the traffic at least once a day, he said.
Gas prices coming down must have helped, I said. That and the hurricanes, Munro said. They saw all those people trying to get out of town stuck on the freeway and thought, What the hell happens if that happens here? People have gained a little bit of faith in government. This is the first time people have supported the Department of Transportation for quite a while.
The smoking ban? Everyone knows somebody who is dying of cancer and finally said weve had enough, he said.
Medical tort reform? The lawyers and the doctors just confused everybody, so people walked away and said I dont understand this issue so I am voting no on both of them.
Performance audits? I think that is the largest transfer of authority to a lesser elected official in 100 years of state government, said Munro. (Auditor) Brian Sonntags office will increase by fivefold. It gives him incredible new power over state government. The issue has been around for 50 years. Every governor hates it, but the auditor finally found a friend in Tim Eyman and got in.
I called Eyman. His faith in his initiative had not flagged from Day 1. People want some accountability, he said. If youve got a good idea, you dont need millions of dollars to sell it and a million dollars wont make up for a bad idea. Voters are not for sale.
What did the king of the initiative process think of the outcome on the others?
Most people dont smoke, he said, and they dont buy the libertarian argument that private places have a right to regulate their own space. On tort reform, The lawyers are smiling. Theyre back at status quo. The doctors should have saved a million dollars to try again next year.
As for the gas tax repeal, Whats really huge about that is the people forced Olympia to justify the tax increase, said Eyman. The initiative gave people a public vote on it which had always been our theme. If you want to increase taxes, let the people vote on it. Those who had been saying get the people out of their cars were arguing for roads. It took I-912 to get greenies to say roads were important. They laid down some markers theyll have to live up to.
Whats next for him? Changing the way the motor vehicle excise tax is calculated to ensure that the $30 car tab stays the $30 car tab and the pols quit mucking around trying to up it.

No, I will NOT add you to my friends list.

I actually like Norton. Its much better than McAfee that I use now. I only use it because I get it free from my ISP.
Ugh...my McAffe didn't work right awhile ago. Somehow it got screwed up and disabled without anyone in the house realizing it...we got so many virus' that we had to reset the computer back to like April or something. No it was not any idiot like myself accidentily disabling it...well..at least I think i didnt..
"We've all been down this path before
You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today maybe you'll understand
That this constant struggle isn't always in the palm of our hands."

Tulane women's basketball Coach Lisa Stockton added a pair of highly-touted post players to her 2012-13 coffers as Morgan Rogers and Chinwe Duru signed National Letters of Intent to play for the Green Wave on Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA's Early Signing Period.
Morgan is a 6-3 native of Shreveport, La., where she plays at Loyola Prep – the same school that produced former Green Wave standout Chassity Brown. Duru, meanwhile, is a 6-2 native of Round Rock, Texas, and star at Vista Ridge High School. The duo will join a Green Wave team next fall which will graduate just one player – senior center Brett Benzio – at the conclusion of the 2011-12 campaign.
"We are extremely excited about this class," Stockton said in a statement released by the athletic department. "Replacing a player like Brett Benzio isn't easy. Our goal was to add players with size, ability to rebound and score. Morgan and Chinwe have lots of potential and will complement each other well."
Rogers is a two-year varsity letterwinner with the Flyers and helped Loyola Prep post consecutive district championships. As a junior, she averaged 12.8 points and a school record 12.2 rebounds per game to go with 112 blocks, 31 steals and 22 assists while helping lead the team to a 26-7 overall record and a berth in the LHSAA Ladies Top 28 State Tournament semifinals. For her accomplishments on the court, Rogers was named second-team all-state, District 1-3A MVP, District Defensive MVP and first-team all-city honors.
In her first varsity season, Rogers averaged 7.5 points and 8.9 rebounds a game while chipping in with 80 blocks, 23 steals and six assists as a sophomore. During her junior campaign, Rogers pulled down a school-record 393 rebounds and her 112 blocks sits second in the Loyola Prep single-season record book. Her 55.0 field goal percentage is third on the list and her 410 points ranks tied for 14th.
For her career, she is connecting on a school-record 54.6 field goal percentage, her 184 blocks ranks third, her 679 rebounds ranks eighth and her 748 points sits 17th.
"Morgan is a very highly-recruited player with size and athleticism," Stockton said. "We love to keep such a talented player home in Louisiana. Morgan's competitiveness and aggressive style will fit well in the college game."
Duru, meanwhile, is a three-star recruit, earned an 86 scout grade and is ranked as the No. 35 post player in the nation by ESPN.com's HoopGurlz. She is a two-year letterwinner with the Rangers where she was named first-team all-district and team Offensive MVP both seasons.
As a junior, she averaged 14.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game and claimed all-state honors from the Texas Girls Coaches Association and the Texas Associated of Basketball Coaches. Duru also earned District 25-4A MVP, TABC All-Region and third-team All-Central Texas recognition after helping lead Vista Ridge to a school-best 32-6 record and advance to the regional finals.
As a sophomore, Duru was tabbed District 16-5A Newcomer of the Year and was named to the Hill Country Dazzling Dozen after averaging 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per outing.
"Chinwe is a strong, physical player with good hands and impressive shot blocking ability," Stockton said. "She comes from a strong high school program with excellent coaching."
Tulane will open the 2011-12 season on Friday, Nov. 11, when the Green Wave plays host to Loyola-New Orleans at 6 p.m. in Fogelman Arena. The game against the Wolfpack is the first half of a Tulane hoops doubleheader as the men's team will battle Alabama A&M approximately 40 minutes at the conclusion of the women's game.

Legislation is carefully being considered in the Senate. Bills for classroom supply money and back pay for board certified teachers have been introduced and are advancing. Legislative leaders promise to protect retirement benefits of education employees.
A third of the 2012 legislative session has passed and it certainly has been an improvement over last year.
One of the more hopeful signs that the Legislature is listening to educators and addressing their concerns is a bill introduced by Sen. Greg Reed of Jasper, providing $300 per classroom for supplies. It passed the Senate on March 8, and now goes on to the House.
There was an amendment to the Reed bill proposed by Sen. Tammy Irons of Florence to raise classroom supply funds to $1,000, but was defeated when Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey broke Senate rules and demanded a voice vote on the Irons amendment.
Another hopeful sign is work on reinstating pay promised to National Board Certified Teachers. Bills have passed both the House and Senate, and have the support of legislative leaders.
"We are encouraged by these first steps benefiting educators, it provides some momentum to tackle some of the bigger issues later in the session, such as the budget," said Dr. Henry Mabry. "There is a lot of work yet, and we look forward to working with legislators in finding the best solution to the challenges we face."
Foremost is the 2013 education budget, where a looming cut of more than $150 million will happen if the Legislature does not delay the enactment of the Rolling Reserve Act. AEA encourages legislative leaders to look at modification of the act, and work with the association toward putting education funding on a sound footing.
In the battle over HB159-HB160, providing cash payments to corporations using funds dedicated to schools, the Senate has taken a much more deliberative approach than the House. The bills have faced questions from senators, questions highlighted by AEA and its members. A key committee debated but did not vote on HB160, and AEA continues to encourage senators to vote no on the measures.
"Members still need to communicate to their senators not to take money away from schools," said Mabry. "These are bad bills that will hurt education and they must be stopped."
Another hopeful sign was when AEA gained the promise of Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh and House Speaker Mike Hubbard that retirement benefits would not be altered for current education employees. When the governor recently announced changes to the retirement system, all current employees were protected.
There are still two-thirds of the session left and battles yet to come. Charter school legislation has not been introduced yet. AEA is working hard to make sure legislators and the public at-large understands the pitfalls and implications of charter legislation.
There are other education issues popping up during the session. Bills addressing the school start date, excusing students during the school day for religious instruction, and other education related measures are introduced each week.
"We are working every day to represent the interests of our members and schoolchildren in the Statehouse, and with so many good and bad bills out there our work is cut out for us," said Mabry. "Our most important resource is for our members to be active and let legislators know what they think. It is the only way to make sure schools and the people who work in them are treated fairly"

Kent youth club to host holiday event
Kent youth and their families are invited to attend a holiday party hosted by Kent Youth and Family Services.
The traditional event starts at 6 p.m. Dec 23 at. Birch Creek Youth Center, located at 12910 S.E. 273rd St. in Kent. It features refreshments, games and prizes and local restaurants are donating food.
"In the past, we've had to take money from our budget to be able to afford food for the party, but this year restaurants around here are giving us generous donations," said Cyoon McBride, program manager for family services. "We are really thankful to them and are excited about this great event." Kent Youth and Family Services provides professional counseling, education and support services to children, youth and their families in the community. Their goal is to empower youth and their families to meet their needs while being committed and responsible to the citizens of the Kent and Covington communities.
"We had 300 people come out to our party last year and it was just a ball," McBride said.
One reason the family service staff throw the holiday party is for the community to get to know one another.
"It's all about the community getting together and having a good time," McBride said. "The reason we call it a holiday party instead of a Christmas party or something, is because we have ethnicity from all around the world represented at the Youth and Family Services, so we want people to know that this holiday coming up is for everyone."
Kent Youth and Family Services is located at 232 Second Ave. S., Suite 201.
For more information, call 253-859-0300.

This woman of 'Easy Virtue' aims to proves she's not just another pretty face
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Esquire magazine once labeled her the "sexiest woman alive." The Maxim, FHM and Stuff publications have at various times had her named among the "sexiest women" and "sexiest girls" of the year, or high up on a "Hot 100" list.
Magazine editors, clearly, know what they're talking about, and Jessica Biel is quick to acknowledge that attention of this sort helped to raise her profile when she was working on becoming the actress she is today. But it's also the proverbial double-edged sword.
"There are a lot of things that are just about really hot girl in really small clothes and fires big gun," the 27-year-old actress (and longtime girlfriend of pop star Justin Timberlake) said of many of the scripts she's offered. "It's not fun when you're losing out on roles because you looked really hot in that last movie. You're like, 'Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.' That's why I'm in this business, because you change yourself and you look different."
Asked, during an interview recently at Manhattan's Regency Hotel, if she would ever go "ugly" for a role like Charlize Theron did for 2003's "Monster" (winning an Oscar in the process), Biel said, "Oh yeah, sure. I would love to do something like that. I definitely gravitate toward a character who's shy or weird, glasses, hair, uncomfortable with her body."
Duly noted, but Biel's character in the new film "Easy Virtue," opening this week in Manhattan, isn't exactly uncomfortable with her body. The actress admitted as much.
"This is obviously not one of those, she's very pretty, but this is such a great character. It's amazing when you can do both," she said.
Larita, the woman Biel plays in this screen adaptation of an early Noel Coward play from 1924, is sexy and glamorous, and newly married to a younger man who brings her home to meet his family. Biel's brassy American isn't made to feel especially welcome, however, in the stuffy country estate of her uppercrusty British in-laws, the Whittakers.
"I was intimated by her, which is why I wanted to play her. I get excited about stuff like that, where I have no idea if I can do it," said Biel of her character. "I mean, she's so cool and so smooth in a bad situation, and she has the best comebacks. I don't have a comeback to save my life. I'm that person what says, 'Well, shut up then.' That's a comeback for me, it's horrible."
But the intimidation came in many forms for Biel in "Easy Virtue." She was virtually the only American on the English set, working alongside such well-regarded British thespians as Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas, who portrays Larita's icy mother-in-law.
"Everyone was so nice, it's not like they were rude to me or isolated me in any way at all, but I did feel like, 'Well, I didn't go to drama school. You guys went to drama school. I hope I can do this,'" said Biel. "And they probably felt the same way about me, like, 'Oh God, good luck to you.'"
To prepare for "Easy Virtue," which like the play remains set in the 1920s, Biel studied up on actresses from the golden age of Hollywood, particularly Katharine Hepburn -- "watching her physicality and her delivery, which is just kill 'em with a smile, and then her amazingly dry, witty dialogue."
Said the actress, "The idea was just to have that kind of Katharine-esque facade and then just be a little person. When it gets tough she gets vulnerable. She's getting bullied up. How would you go through that situation? You would probably put on a facade and try to be as tough as possible, but privately you'd probably be breaking down."
Fortunately, the film's director, Stephan Elliott, was kind to his star in the editing room, making it easier for the audience to take Larita's side in her battle with Mrs. Whittaker.
"Stephan just had to cut everything human about Mrs. Whittaker. Poor Kristin, because they just had to snip it away so she was just ruthless until the very end," said Biel.
While "Easy Virtue" is a period film, Biel admitted that contemporary audiences may be likely to compare it to contemporary movies like "Meet the Parents."
"It's a thing that people have gone through for hundreds and thousands of years, and we're going to still go through it," said Biel of the experience of meeting in-laws. "I think we all know that a mother and a son's relationship is very special, right? It's a bond, and you have to be careful when you try to come in there."
Biel has gone the period route before, starring as a turn-of-the-20th-century Austrian duchess in 2006's "The Illusionist." And although there are no more period pictures firmly on her plate at present -- she plays a stripper in the upcoming "Powder Blue" and a waitress who gets a nail accidentally lodged in her head in the comedy "Nailed" -- the actress made it clear she would go back in time again, and not just because of the lavish costumes, although they're a big plus.
"That's like the cherry on the top when everything comes together and you just feel, 'Oh OK, I'm here now and this is who I am,'" said Biel. "I'm fascinated with people from a hundred years ago. What did they do, how did they live? Don't you think it's fascinating?"

A Phillipsburg man accused of shooting a woman to death last year inside her home pleaded not guilty today to murder, although his attorney indicated he may be inclined to consider a plea deal in the coming weeks.
Salim Newton, 28, entered the plea through his defense lawyer, Mark Bailey, during a brief hearing in New Jersey Superior Court in Belvidere.
Newton faces six counts, including murder, burglary, criminal contempt and weapons charges in connection with the Sept. 18 murder of 22-year-old Melissa Williams in her Phillipsburg home.
Prosecutors today announced an offer in which Newton would plead to a reduced charge of aggravated manslaughter as well as two weapons charges. In return, they would recommend a 22-year prison sentence.
"At this time, the defense rejects the plea offer," Newton's lawyer told Judge Ann Bartlett. "However, after discovery, we will convey a counteroffer to the state, assuming it's appropriate."
Discovery is the formal process of exchanging information between the two sides, such as witnesses and evidence they would present at trial.
Newton, who is currently serving a three-year prison sentence on a drug conviction out of Hunterdon County, walked into the courtroom clad in an all-brown jumpsuit with his hands shackled around his waist. He remained silent during the hearing but flashed a smile and a quick thumbs-up to family members sitting in the gallery as he was led out of the courtroom.
Authorities say Newton, previously of Piscataway, New Jersey, gunned down Williams in her Spruce Alley home the night of Sept. 18.
He eluded capture for more than a month before authorities eventually tracked him to Virginia. He was arrested outside a home there by U.S. marshals and police from Richmond, where he was reportedly staying with relatives.
While announcing the plea offer, Assistant Prosecutor Donald Cox noted it had been reviewed with the victim's family and they were not in agreement.
Citing a "voluminous" amount of information to review before he was ready to move ahead, Bailey asked Bartlett for at least two months before the next court appearance.
With no objection from prosecutors, Bartlett set a status conference for Oct. 17.

Griffin MaGraw, 63, welcomed me into his tiny apartment in Peace Lake Towers retirement center with a harried look. A van had arrived to take his wife, Lucy, to therapy, and he had to finish getting her dressed and into her wheelchair. But I didn't need a tour to see that the apartment lacked a couch, a kitchen table and chairs. Or that the couple has no dresser in the bedroom.
On another floor, Angele Durall showed me graciously into her apartment. "Have a seat, have a seat," she said, but the living area contains only a single battered chair, provided by neighbors a week ago when her marriage broke up and she arrived with nothing but the clothes she was wearing and an air mattress.
The low-income elderly and disabled people who live at Peace Lake Towers have a roof over their heads and clean common areas. But some of them could use a place to sit. Some of them are sleeping on mattresses on the floor. They could use bed frames.
John W. Smith, 63, likes to draw, so he rigged up a small draftsman's table with a strong light in his kitchen. But he's sitting on half a rolling desk chair, its back broken off. He has zero living room furniture.
I visited Peace Lake for the first time last year at the invitation of Paul Mosley Sr., a retired welder and fitter who has made it his mission to make life a bit more comfortable for his neighbors. After their stories appeared, readers responded by dropping off furniture, exercise equipment, bedding, pots and pans, even plants and books.
Others called with offers of beds, dinettes, couches and chairs, but no way to get the items to Peace Lake, which is located at 9025 Chef Menteur Highway.
So, along with any furniture you can spare, what Paul is hoping for this time is the use of a truck.
"Just for a few hours for certain days," he said. "We rented a truck before, me and a partner of mine, but we couldn't get all the furniture."
Things are definitely looking up at Peace Lake. There's a daily program operated by the Council on Aging, which brought in four computers, arts and crafts, bingo and movies. I love how the residents look out for one another.
But they could still use a hand. If you can help, call Paul at 504.319.7714.

Development plan downsized
Just a month before the drop-dead deadline for this years batch of changes to the Port Orchard comprehensive plan, the developing team of Roland and Roland dumped two-thirds of the proposed development parcel from its plans in order to avoid a Department of Fisheries appeal.
The Rolands originally proposed turning 50 acres of field at the corner of State Route 16 and Sedgwick Road into a retail commercial center. The land, currently zoned residential, straddles Blackjack Creek a protected salmon stream. Although the city originally decided the Rolands request for a re-designation would not necessarily harm the stream, Fisheries cried foul and filed an appeal of the citys determination.
Its two major points of appeal:
n the runoff from the acres of impervious surface the would eventually dump into the creek; and,
n the bridge the Rolands proposed using to link the two properties.
Such an appeal has never happened before in a Kitsap jurisdiction that I know of, said city planner Rob Wenman.
The problem, Wenman said, resides with the city. Although comprehensive plan changes have no inherent impact, the city still must consider the impact of whatever development the applicant is likely to use the changed designation to achieve.
Because Blackjack Creek is designated a natural shoreline environment, developers are highly restricted in what they can do with property nearby. The designation is one of the most restrictive that can be given to a body of water and means a whole host of construction is automatically off-limits.
It really limits a property owners ability to utilize (property), Wenman said.
One of the outright prohibited uses for such an environment is any type of bridge or road spanning the waterway in question. The Rolands original plan depended on a bridge over Blackjack Creek to gain access to the western portion of the parcel all other routes would have taken heavy commercial traffic though narrow residential roads at the tail end of South Flower Street.
Wenman said the natural shoreline environment designation is rarely found in urban areas and is notoriously difficult to work around. Apparently the Rolands agreed because, rather than engage in a lengthy battle with Fisheries, the Rolands arranged with their developing company Seattle-based Pacland to simply strike the western parcels from the plan. The new proposal now only addresses the eastern 15 or so acres that front Sedgwick.
Following the change, Wenman said, Fisheries withdrew its appeal.
Neither the Rolands nor their Pacland representatives were available last week and could not comment on what effect the changes will have on their overall plans.
Wenman said thus far the city has received to formal plans from the Rolands that would outline exactly what they plan to put there. However, in an interview last month, Alex Roland talked at length about his plans to bring major retailers such as Home Depot to the site.
We dont want to throw up a bunch of ugly buildings, he said. We want something Port Orchard citizens can be proud of.
Wenman said the Rolands are now referring to the new development as the Port Orchard Gateway Center.
The revised comp plan change request will appear before the city council Dec. 8. The planning commission has recommended approval and, from all indications, the Rolands are eager to gain city approval this year so they can start serious work on their project in 2004.

HILLSBORO -- Police officers this afternoon shot and killed a 54-year-old man who they say threatened firefighters with a rifle and then shot at a police officer.
Lt. Michael Rouches, Hillsboro Police Department spokesman, declined to identify the man, who was flown by Life Flight Network to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center in Portland. He died at the hospital police said this evening.
Rouches gave this version of events:
Hillsboro firefighters received a call at 2 p.m. from a man who said he needed medical help at a home in the 6600 block of Southeast Wrenfield Street on the eastern edge of Hillsboro.
As firefighters treated the man, he grabbed a rifle and threatened them. Firefighters left the home and called police for assistance.
The first officer arrived and was fired at by the suspect from inside the home. At least one shot struck the cruiser of the officer, who took cover and waited for support.
Hillsboro police and Washington County sheriff's deputies evacuated two nearby houses and requested people in a four-block area to remain in their homes.
Hillsboro School District leaders locked the doors at two schools -- Imlay Elementary and R.A. Brown Middle -- near the scene. A little farther away, Ladd Acres Elementary School and Century High School also were prepared to have the doors locked if needed.
At about 3 p.m., following a short standoff, the suspect was shot in a barrage of gunfire.
Rouches said it was unclear who started the shootings or what officer shot the man, who was struck more than once in the exchange of gunfire.

UC Berkeley to freshman: Bring your books, toothbrush, and a DNA swab?
Kids who enter college this year are already being bombarded with messages about their privacy, particularly with worries that they surrender certain personal information every time they post a Facebook status update or announce something via Twitter.
Though a UC Berkeley study somewhat debunked all the frantic musings about young people's online privacy by revealing that they are indeed vigilant about their electronic information, and that "88 percent of the 18- to 24-year-olds it surveyed last July said there should be a law that requires Web sites to delete stored information. And 62 percent said they wanted a law that gave people the right to know everything a Web site knows about them," according to the New York Times.
But the same school that determined young people are making efforts to protect their privacy online is now asking some of its incoming students to surrender a much more tangible form of privacy: their own DNA. A new program at the school involves asking new students and transfers to return to DNA swab so that the school can provide each participant with personalized information about their dietary needs, including lactose, folic acid and alcohol. According to the Los Angeles Times:
Only the participants will be able to learn about their own results, the project promises. Then the samples will be destroyed. Dubbed "Bring Your Genes to Cal," the program is part of UC Berkeley's annual "On the Same Page" program, in which incoming students, like those at many colleges, typically are asked to read the same book over the summer and discuss them in fall seminars.
Is it just me, or is it a relatively big leap from students to all reading the same book together – a pretty standard practice throughout academia – to students providing information about their genetic makeup to professors and scientists?
Though the school insists the program is voluntary and that the results will be used only for the stated purposes and destroyed afterward, many people are concerned that some degree of coercion is taking place because students might worry about offending prospective professors or advisers by electing not to swab up. Others have pointed out that the name of the program, "on the Same Page," could risk making students feel alienated from those who do participate.
It's an awfully mixed message to send to young adults that they need to be protective of their private data in the virtual world, then ask them to hand over genetic material when they enter an institute of higher learning. Perhaps untethering the program from entering the university would make it less pressure-filled and more truly voluntary.

Athough the differences were not signicant in a randomized, open-label trial, there were 13 percent fewer subsequent lacunar strokes and 63 percent fewer intracerebral hemorrhages among patients who lowered their blood pressure to 130 mm Hg or lower. Moreover, there was an overall reduction of 19 percent in all secondary strokes in the lower target arm.
Small vessel stroke patients who reduce their systolic blood pressure below 130 mm Hg may significantly protect themselves against a subsequent intracerebral hemorrhage or another lacunar stroke, according to a randomized, open-label study conducted in North America, South America, and Europe. The findings, initially presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference last February, were published in the Aug. 10 issue of The Lancet.
In the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes (SPS3) Trial, researchers divided 3,020 patients into two target groups of blood pressure control — a lower target of systolic blood pressure below 130 mm Hg and a higher target of between 130 mm Hg and 149 mm Hg.
Although there was no statistically significant difference in the likelihood of any secondary strokes among patients in either group, there were 13 percent fewer subsequent lacunar strokes and 63 percent fewer intracerebral hemorrhages among patients who lowered their blood pressure to 130 mm Hg or lower. Moreover, there was an overall reduction of 19 percent in all secondary strokes in the lower target arm.
After one year, patients in the lower blood pressure group had an average systolic blood pressure of 126.8 mm Hg while those in the higher target group averaged 137.8 mm Hg.
The findings may provide physicians with more definitive blood pressure targets for patients with lacunar strokes, according to lead investigator Oscar Benavente, MD, professor and research director of stroke at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
"We well understand that reducing blood pressure can protect individuals against first stroke and recurrent events, but until now we have not known how low it needs to go. Our study has provided some answers," he told Neurology Today in a telephone interview.
The study enrolled patients who had previously suffered a small subcortical or lacunar stroke, and at the start of the study, the two treatment groups had similar systolic blood pressure. However 75 percent of the subjects had a history of high blood pressure, 37 percent had a history of diabetes, and 20 percent were tobacco users. The average follow-up lasted about 3.7 years.
There were 277 first recurrent strokes during follow-up. Among these were 243 ischemic events (86 percent) of which 173, or 71 percent, were recurrent lacunar strokes and 14 percent were intracranial hemorrhages, including intracerebral, subdural or epidural, and subarachnoid events.
The annualized rate of recurrent strokes in the higher target group was 2.7 percent per patient year, compared with 2.2 percent in the lower-target group, a finding that was not statistically significant. Nonetheless, Dr. Benavente told Neurology Today that it was feasible to achieve the trial's blood pressure targets, and that treatment was both safe and well tolerated, although patients in the lower target group had more fainting episodes.
"Achieving a systolic target of 135 mm Hg may not be enough," he said. "Getting the level down to 130 mm Hg may offer greater clinical benefits. I would tell my patients who had this type of stroke to get their BP below 130," he said.
Although the study was not designed to analyze differences in the blood pressure-lowering medicines, patients in the lower target group took more medications, especially beta blockers, and the distribution of medications were not the same between the groups.
Subcortical stroke accounts for an estimated 25 percent of all ischemic strokes and occurs when small arteries deep within the brain are affected.
The National Institutes of Health-National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke provided funding for the trial.
"The SPS 3 trial shows that reduction of systolic blood pressure to a target of less than 130 mm Hg in the weeks after lacunar stroke is well tolerated, safe, and effective in reducing the rate of recurrent stroke, particularly hemorrhagic stroke," wrote Graeme J. Hankey, MD, clinical professor of neurology at the University of Western Australia School of Medicine and Pharmacology in Perth, and head of the stroke unit at Royal Perth Hospital, in an accompanying editorial.
Although the reduction in secondary strokes was less than that reported in previous trials with similar systolic blood pressure lowering, several factors might explain the difference, according to Dr. Hankey.
First, he noted that reducing systolic blood pressure could be less effective in preventing secondary strokes after lacunar ischemic stroke than for all types of ischemic stroke, even though limited data from previous trials indicate that lowering blood pressure has a consistent effect for all subtypes.
The study's estimate of the reduction might also have been confounded by greater use of beta blockers in the lower-target group, he said, noting that beta blockers can increase variability in blood pressure levels at different times, thereby increasing all-stroke risk. He also said that the association between systolic blood pressure and stroke risk might be weaker with systolic blood pressures below 130 mm Hg than with higher levels.
"When the SPS3 results are viewed in the context of all evidence for lowering of blood pressure in individuals with previous stroke, the 19 percent rate reduction for all recurrent strokes seems likely to be real rather than a chance observation."
Scott E. Kasner, MD, professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, is current chair of the American Heart/Stroke Association Council's Scientific Statements Oversight Committee.
"I think the results should change the guidelines," he told Neurology Today. "We have never really had specific blood pressure targets based on trial evidence. While imperfect, SPS3 gives us a basis for recommending a target blood pressure benchmark of less than 130 mm Hg in patients with lacunar stroke."

Employers that have stockrooms and/or warehouses with goods to store, ship, and inventory are typical employers for shipping and receiving managers. These specialized managers oversee the operations related to the arrival, check-in, and storage of goods for sale or later use by a company. Additionally, they help ensure that when a company ships goods, that these shipments are accurate, on time, and performed efficiently. The shipping and receiving manager typically oversees a staff, as well as develops and/or helps enforce a company's policies for accurate intake of new shipments; this typically involves conducting inspections of arriving goods, noting their quantities, and ensuring they are stored properly.Read More...
The shipping and receiving manager also ensures that employees properly "pick" the correct goods for shipment from the storage facility, that the goods are properly packed, and that they are then shipped according to the customer's preference. Other tasks performed by this manager include training new employees in procedures and safety, performing hiring for their department, and performing routine inspections of procedures, equipment, and facilities to ensure employee safety and the integrity of the company's goods. The shipping and receiving manager also ensures that received and shipped goods are recorded accurately and that this information is properly provided to the correct department.
To work as a shipping and receiving manager, a high school diploma or equivalent is typically needed; some companies may require or prefer higher education due to the managerial nature of the job, although many employers give equal weight to practical experience with stock work and receiving. These managers typically work during the day, with some larger companies having shifts for evenings and overnights as well.

Low-Income Women's Access to Family Planning
Missouri provides increased access to family-planning services through a Section 1115 waiver. The waiver allows the state to cover family-planning services for women losing eligibility after a 60-day postpartum period, regardless of income, for one year. Additionally, Missouri offers expanded services for uninsured women ages 18 to 55 who have a net family income of at or below 185 percent of the FPL and who have assets totaling no more than $250,000. These women remain eligible for the program as long as they continue to meet eligibility requirements and require family-planning services. Additionally, enrollees must be (1) U.S. citizens or persons who meet the state's defined immigration requirements and (2) Missouri residents.
Beneficiaries of family-planning coverage available through the waiver are not required to pay premiums or co-payments for covered services. Covered services for eligibility groups include: contraception counseling, devices, medications, and implants; pap smears and pelvic exams; and STI testing and treatment related to a family-planning visit.
The waiver is set to expire Dec. 31, 2014. A renewal has been requested through Dec. 31, 2017.

If the Cincinnati Reds are going to pull off a trade during the 2014 MLB season, pitcher Alfredo Simon is one of the few trade chips that they will be able to dangle on the market.
After making a couple of big trades in the past few years, the Reds don't have much to offer teams now. There is some talent in the lower levels of the minor leagues, but there aren't many players with trade value at Triple-A.
One player who could be an interesting trade chip is Daniel Corcino. He impressed in the lower levels of the minor leagues, but he had a rough 2013 at Triple-A and got rocked during spring training this year. Some team could still view him as a top prospect. If that's the case, he could be part of a midseason trade.
Unfortunately for the Reds, they don't have much payroll flexibility to pull off a big deal. Any trade the organization makes this season will have to be minor.
Let's take a look at some of Cincinnati's best trade chips.

As fate had it, the new chief executive officer was already connected to the county Industrial Development Agency before even accepting the job.
In May, Kevin Sanvidge was appointed by County Executive Vince Horrigan as the head of the IDA, replacing the retiring Bill Daly. On Wednesday, Greg Peterson, board member and co-founder of the Jackson Center, interviewed Sanvidge at the Robert H. Jackson Center, located 305 E. Fourth St., Jamestown, during a Meeting of the Minds reception hosted by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.
When appointed to the new role, Sanvidge was semiretired, serving as a board of directors member for Lake Shore Savings Bank, chairman of the bank's Compensation Committee and also a member of its Corporate Governance Committee. Prior to his retirement, Sanvidge served as executive vice president of administration for Cliffstar Corporation from 1999-2011. Before that, he worked at Al Tech Specialty Steel Corporation for 21 years where he served in various management positions including vice president of administration.

Since 2006, the IDA has been the administer of the Al Tech Revolving Loan Fund, which is used to help county businesses create and retain jobs. The origins of the loan fund came from a federal grant to facilitate the buyout of the former Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation facilities in Dunkirk and Colonie. The original loan/grant for $10 million was made in 1976. As the loan was paid back by the company, the proceeds were fed into a revolving loan fund to be used to create additional job growth and retention in Chautauqua and Albany counties.
So even before becoming the director of the IDA, Sanvidge already had a connection to one of the most powerful economic development tools the IDA uses.
"It feels serendipitous managing the Al Tech Loan now," Sanvidge said.
He added it was one of the main reasons he decided to take the job with the IDA.
"It is something to be proud of," he said about the revolving loan fund.
Sanvidge originally came from Troy, where his father ran a funeral home. He said early in his teenage years he knew he didn't want to follow his father's footsteps by going into the mortuary business. He told a story about how he drove the limousine with the mourning family members a couple of times, but it depressed him so much he told his dad he wouldn't do that job anymore. He said he would rather drive the casket or the flowers.
"There was nothing I liked about it at all," he said.
After graduating college with a political science and economics degrees, Sanvidge said his first job was working for the Social Services Department going undercover to help catch people cheating the system. However, he said his father didn't think it was a good enough profession for his son and asked a friend to get him a job interview with Al Tech. After being hired by the company, Sanvidge eventually moved to Dunkirk with his wife, Marilyn, where they lived for many years raising their family.
Earlier this year, he was approached about the IDA job. He said he didn't know if he wanted to take it at first. However, after meeting with Horrigan, Sanvidge said he had a really good feeling about the job and working with the county executive.
"The next thing I knew, it was May 27, and Vince said 'Lets go,'" Sanvidge said. "I started work following Memorial Day."

Pittsford, N.Y. — Sammy Watkins' rib injury is still something to monitor.
After taking a hit to the midsection and leaving the Buffalo Bills' 19-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, Watkins was held out of practice on Monday. Bills coach Doug Marrone said the team is trying to play it safe with Watkins, who was drafted no. 4 overall and has been one of the bright spots in training camp.
"Unless I know for sure, I'm not going to comment on when they're coming back and when they're not coming back," Marrone said. "It's too difficult."
Watkins' injury was classified as a rib contusion after Saturday's game.
"Ribs are a funny thing. They really are," Marrone said. "You can practice the next day sometimes, you can come back into a game ..."
Considering how well he's performed in training camp, a few missed practices shouldn't be the end of the world for Watkins.
