Clibborn steps down as Chamber of Commerce executive director - Former director Moreman tapped as replacement
By Ruth Longoria
Judy Clibborn said she'd find someone to take her place as director of the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce if she won a seat in the state Legislature two years ago.
A former Mercer Island mayor and City Council member, Clibborn won retired Rep. Ida Ballasiotes' seat in November 2002. Clibborn, a Democrat, was re-elected to the state House in 2004.
A few months into her second-term, Clibborn has reluctantly resigned as the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, chamber president Emmett Maloof.
Clibborn will be replaced by former chamber executive director Terry Moreman, who has worked with Clibborn the past few years to keep the chamber running smoothly despite Clibborn's many responsibilities as a legislator.
``We didn't want to accept Judy's resignation, but this will be almost a seamless transition,'' Maloof said. ``Judy and Terry worked so well together and they both have run the chamber well in the past.''
However, Clibborn's abilities will be missed, he said.
``Judy is a good leader and a coalition builder,'' Maloof said. ``She rolls up her sleeves and goes to work and it doesn't matter your political party, she gets you moving.''
Clibborn's ability to motivate people and get projects rolling is why she resigned from the Chamber, he said.
``The problem is, Judy ran for office and was successful,'' Maloof said. ``She did a superb job for the Chamber, but -- fortunately for her and unfortunately for us -- she's a good representative too; and now, with all the committees they ask her to be on, she's becoming overwhelmed with leadership.''
Clibborn earned a bachelor of science and nursing degree from the University of Washington before beginning her career as a registered nurse at Harborview Medical Center. She has lived on the Island since 1969. She and her husband, Bruce have three adult children, all Mercer Island High School graduates. The couple also raised five foster children.
In addition to her three years with the chamber, she is well known to many from her 12 years on the City Council and four years as mayor.
Clibborn's committee assignments include Economic Development, Agriculture and Trade, Health Care and the Rules committees. She is vice chair of the Local Government Committee.
``Previously I was able to come back home at the end of the session, but as I've been here longer, I've gotten more responsibility,'' Clibborn said of her work in Olympia.
Working with the chamber has been a wonderful part of her life, she said.
``I love the chamber, it's an exciting place and this is an exciting time for the chamber, with all of the development in town,'' she said. ``But, I'm sure Terry will do a wonderful job in my place -- she was there for 12 years before -- so she knows what's going on.''
Clibborn said she will happily continue to volunteer for chamber activities whenever she is on the Island.
Moreman has volunteered with the chamber in many capacities since she retired as executive director in June 2000. In the past few years, Moreman and chamber member Susan Blake, who is also a former City Council member, have alternated in covering for Clibborn while the Legislature was in session, Maloof said.
The three women's spirit of volunteerism is what keeps the chamber going, Maloof said.
``I can't say enough about these volunteers; we've got some really talented people,'' he said. ``They are really putting something back into the community.''

Adah Sharma goes crazy
"Whenever I watch the performers in circus I feel like aping them. Once when I saw a man climbing a coconut tree I felt that even I should learn the same. Since my childhood I had a desire to write with both my right and left hand and I am practicing it since 6-7 months. I hope within next 2-3 weeks my desire is fulfilled," speaks Adah Sharma.
Well, we have heard that creative people are a little bit abnormal and listening to Adah surely proves it to be right.

People are invited to south-central Iowa on Saturday to watch prairie chickens dance about in a courtship ritual.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the Annual Prairie Chicken Festival will start before dawn Saturday at the Grand River Grassland Bird Conservation Area. A wildlife viewing platform is available at the site, just southwest of Kellerton.
The DNR will provide spotting scopes and binoculars as well as coffee for early risers who can watch the birds as they dance and make booming noises. The action will end around 9:30 a.m.
Prairie chickens had been absent from the area since the 1950s but in recent years were reintroduced to the region.

After a remarkable 12-2 season that finished with an SEC Championship and a spot in the final BCS National Championship Game, the Auburn Tigers will have a target on their backs this season.
Fortunately for the Tigers and their fans, they have the strength to handle the pressure of SEC and national-title hype.
Auburn returns eight starters from one of the nation's most potent offenses and has depth across the defensive line and linebacker units.
However, Gus Malzahn and his staff will need to see improvement from an underwhelming secondary while implementing an entirely new set of specialists.
Here is a bottom-to-top look at the Tigers' positional units, ranked by experience, performance in previous seasons and an outlook toward the near future. Returning starters are listed as top players, while projected new starters and role players are listed as question marks heading into the 2014 season.

Market orientation for many organisations seen as conceptual premise to instigate their
changing points, this applies with particular force to organisations in transition
economies. Especially those that have to cope with the challenges imposed by the
cultural rite of passage from political-based market governance to competitive market
systems. The marketing mantra, market orientation, is routinely offered as the basis for
business success. While the sincerity of this principle is of little doubt in most developed
western economies, implementations in many transition-economy contexts are revealing
a range of paradoxes. This paper using China as a contextual premise, offers starting
observations in measuring how local companies are adopting a market orientation.
Although some of the early results are consistent with those obtained in the West, but
there is an underlying lacuna that needs to be addressed so that useful culture-specific
interpretations are offered vis-à-vis locale-specific knowledge. To plug this gap, the
paper argues for an approach that accommodates the institutional perquisites, focusing

Dear Mark: Saturated Fat | Mark's Daily Apple
This article made me think about this issue. I certainly can't find grass-fed meat in my country, and organic is pretty easy to come by. But it's not that. The thing that bothered me is that it was mentioned in the article that the fat storages in an animal carry the highest load of antibiotics, pesticides and so on.
That means that if I can't find organic and or grass-fed meat, I'm better off eating the leaner portions of the meat, is that so?
I'd like to hear your thoughts about this issue.
I would generally suggest eating leaner meat if it's conventionally fed and moderately to somewhat heavier fat meat if it's grass fed. It's not just the toxin load in the fat (honestly, I'm not sure how much that really bothers me), for me it's more the yucky fatty acid profile in grain fed meat.

The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission confirmed Thursday dove hunters will have 20 more days in the field this season. NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune first reported the possibility of the change last month.
The commission approved the department-recommended dates at its regular monthly meeting.
South Zone:
Sept. 6-14
Oct. 11-Dec. 3
Dec. 20-Jan. 15
North Zone:
Sept. 6-28
Oct. 11-Nov. 9
Dec. 10-Jan. 15
Hunters will be allowed 15 doves each per day. Historically, the bag limit alternated from 15 to 12 every year.
Both changes were allowed because the dove population is soaring nationally. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service puts the number at 94.4 million mourning doves.
Another important change this year is that the dove season will open 30 minutes before sunrise opening day on private lands, rather than the traditional noon start time. The season on wildlife management areas will still open at noon.
Hunters will still be allowed an unlimited number of Eurasian collared doves and ringed turtle doves, which are considered invasive species. Daily limits apply only to mourning and white-winged doves.

NEW YORK (Zillow.com) — Home warranties have been around for decades but have just started to be widely purchased in the past ten years. They are often used in sales transactions as a kind of "insurance policy" that the seller can provide for the buyer. The theory is that if something goes wrong with a covered item — appliance, electrical, plumbing, etc. — the buyer will call upon the insurance policy instead of blaming the seller. While this sounds great in theory, the general policies have some significant limitations and issues.
For example, home warranty companies could have customer service issues that should cause a buyer some concern. However, to be fair, much of this comes from a common misunderstanding about what is actually covered. This happens because few people who receive the policies actually read them to find out what is not covered – like pre-existing conditions, or certain appliances in the basic policy. Of course, some complaints result from companies refusing to cover certain items and hope that people will give up trying, but it should be noted that some of these claims are just plain dubious.Which leads to the big question: Are home warranties worth the $350 – $500 per year?
The answer is, it depends.
There are plenty of people who make claims, get paid out, and are happy with their service. But, there seems to be a lot of people who are not very satisfied.
Because the most common way for someone to be introduced to a home warranty policy is typically at the purchase of a property, let's address that first.
Seller's Side – If you're selling your home, you might believe that offering a warranty is a good marketing tool to get the property sold. This is the typical pitch from an insurance company. And if something breaks after the sale, the new owner can make a claim on the policy. It's estimated that about 80% or more of residential sales come with a home warranty policy. And if the seller feels more comfortable with this "insurance," then it's a small price to pay for that piece of mind.

The response to Eric Gaertner's story on Muskegon Heights' plans to improve Mona Lake Park range from an attitude of "why bother" to "full steam ahead."
Here's a sampling from readers' comments:
"Why should this park get any grant money when no one uses the park?" wrote monashores65. "We have driven by there in the summer and there is never anyone having a picnic but they are all out at the beach in Muskegon. They need to give money the beach in Muskegon."
But josh1937 responded with "I have to disagree with you monashores65, that park gets quite a bit of use. I've used that crappy boat launch for years and on nice days, there are always people down in the park. Playing basketball, fishing, picnics, or just hanging out in the parking lot. I also disagree about the money, no one should get the money, we are spending too much. We shouldn't be spending money on building more things without being able to actually afford these things. Fed money to pay to rebuild the Heights' Downtown, now they are looking for Fed money given to the State to fund this. Instead of spending , we should be focusing more on getting jobs back in Muskegon. That way if more of the Heights were employed and paying more taxes, they could afford to pay for this project with their own money."
"The Hts is always sinking good money in a situation that is beyond help or hope!," wrote thesideline. "They have the cemetery-if it wasn't for the genealogy society or caring family members-nothing would be done to keep it up...they have the park, same story-claim it- but do nothing with it. The water filtration plant-the same thing. If'n they want to claim it as an asset, don't keep begging for money to keep it. Turn it over to Norton Shores or City of Muskegon!"
Just my opinion was more optimistic, writing "Build it and they will come. I think this is a great improvement. All parks that help to encourage and enjoy our lakes are worth keeping in prestine condition. Do we want visitors or not? And that little bit of work did keep some local people employed!"
NativeandProud wanted to know why "No Phase III? Fix the roads to the park?"
Texmike suggested the fixes aren't worth the trouble, because "It won't take long for 'The city of friendly people' to trash it. Mark my words."
Where do you stand when it comes to improving Mona Lake Park -- or any city park? If a community can get a grant, where should such money be spent?

I've just written a blog post for work about Aberystwyth, so here is an extract from it about the fantastic red kite centre in case you are considering going yourself. I would personally wait for the weather to cheer up a bit, although it is open all year round and even on a dry winter's day, it would be a glorious place for a walk.
Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest
The stunning and distinctive bird of prey the red kite is still a relatively rare sight in the UK. However, their numbers are increasing thanks to places like Bwlch Nant yr Arian.
In 1999, the area became a red kite feeding station with the aim of helping the birds to thrive in the area. Over 150 kites gather every day of the year at 2pm in winter and 3pm in summer for their daily feed. The public can have a great view of the birds feeding from the opposite side of the picturesque lake or from a bird hive that overlooks the feeding area. Whilst many visitors attend purely to look at these majestic birds, there are lots of other activities on offer at Bwlch Nant yr Arian. There is a café where you can relax and enjoy the view and a play area and educational activities for children. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, other activities on offer include horse riding, mountain biking and orienteering. There are also walks to suit all abilities and fitness levels.

Taipei, London and Mexico City are the three finalists in the category of "Air Quality." The awards are granted by the German engineering firm Siemens AG and the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, a network of cities around the world that take action to reduce their carbon emissions.
Taipei won the nomination with its air quality improvement plan called "Clean Air - It's Your Move," according to the Taipei City Department of Environmental Protection.
Under the plan, Taipei has set up public dynamometers to measure and control air pollution emissions from diesel vehicles, and introduced YouBike - a public bike rental system - in 2009 to provide commuters with an alternative to motor vehicles.
As of June this year, there were 3,213 diesel buses and 2,217 diesel trucks with low-pollution identification symbols in Taipei, according to Wu Sheng-chung, commissioner of the department.
These vehicles reduce PM2.5 pollutants -- particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter -- by an estimated 127 tons per year, he said.
Meanwhile, there were 5,265 YouBikes and 160 rental stations in the city as of May this year, with each bike averaging 11.1 rides per day, Wu said.
According to the awards' official website, motor vehicles are the main air pollution source in Taipei, accounting for 57 percent of air pollutants and 33 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
The awards, now in their second year, recognize projects in 10 categories, including "Urban Transportation," "Green Energy," and "Intelligent City Infrastructure."
This year, 31 projects submitted by 26 cities were selected as finalists for the awards.
The winners will be announced at an award ceremony in New York on Sept. 22.

"I don't think I said it the right way once," said Matthew Hoover, who attends St. Ann Catholic Church in Clayton, a growing town on the edge of the Raleigh suburbs. "I kept forgetting, and saying the old words."
The Mass itself — the central ritual of the Catholic faith — hasn't changed, but the English translation has, in the largest shakeup to the everyday faith of believers since the upheavals that followed the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. A years-long process of revision and negotiation led to an updated version of the Roman Missal, the text of prayers and instructions for celebrating Mass, which originally was written in Latin. The new translation was rolled out across the English-speaking Catholic world on Sunday after months of preparation.
Mickey Mattox, a professor at Milwaukee's Marquette University, said he was happy with the idea that the bishops wanted the translations as accurate as possible.
Adapting to the changes "was a lot less difficult than I thought it might be," said Mattox, 55, adding, "even though probably all of us are going to end up holding our worship folders for a few weeks until we memorize all the new language."
The Rev. George Witt, pastor of the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on Park Avenue, started the 11 a.m. Mass by noting Sunday was not only the first day of Advent, but also the first day to use the new Missal. He directed parishioners to a pamphlet inserted into the back of the now-outdated hymnal that spelled out the new wording. A notable number of worshippers stumbled after the priest said, "Peace be with you." The new response is "And with your spirit" instead of "And also with you." But many others confidently gave the right response.
Kathleen McCormack, a church volunteer and former school teacher, said she didn't like the new translation and didn't understand why the church needed a translation closer to Latin.
"Consubstantial? What is that word?" McCormack said, referring to a term in the retranslated Nicene Creed that replaces language calling Jesus "one in being with the Father."
But she saw a cautionary tale in the many Catholics she saw distance themselves from the church over changes made after the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
"It's not shaking my church experience," said McCormack, as she handed out church bulletins. "You have the spirit between you and God and the words are insignificant."
Most of the changes are actually to prayers recited by the priest, but some of the changes for prayers spoken or sung by the congregation revise familiar words that for some people are spoken almost automatically after years of churchgoing.
Along with the new response and unfamiliar words, the affirmation "We believe" has been replaced with "I believe" in the Nicene Creed. Some of the language seems more formal or poetic: the word "cup" has become "chalice."The roots of the new translation go back to that epochal council held at the Vatican in the 1960s, which allowed Mass in languages other than Latin. An English-language missal was produced by 1973, but that was intended to be temporary while improvements were made.
In 2001, the Vatican office that oversees worship issued a directive requiring translation of the English missal that would be closer to the Latin rather than to more familiar vernacular speech. Numerous revisions and bishops' meetings eventually produced agreement on the translation being used Sunday.

To the editor:
I'm being charged $485 dollars per year to treat a weed that has not been proven to be eradicated from lakes. In my opinion, this is the government's problem.
According to the DNR Mission Statement, "The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural and cultural resources for current and future generations."
This government agency is regulating, all the permits we have to purchase to use the water.
The salaries they pay for employees to sit out in the lake and monitor whether you have a fishing permit and fire extinguisher on your boat.
Studying, like the half million dollar grant that Tech recently got. They are NOT protecting the water as they have committed. This weed is in about 525 lakes in Lower Michigan as of 2007.

At the township meeting or in the newspaper, Houghton Lake was referenced as a model for the solution to the milfoil problem.
Houghton Lake is a inland lake, a densely populated recreational and commercial area, in 2002, a population of 30,000. Our situation here is very different from Houghton Lake because we're connected to the Great Lakes.
Milfoil was found in Houghton Lake in 1999 and they chemically treated it in 2002.
Article Links
They stocked the lake with 63,000 weevils to help manage the Milfoil. In 2002 the Fish and Wildlife group advised them not to do this chemical process.
On May 15, 2002, they treated the lake with fluidone to a level concentration of seven, on Aug. 22, 2002 the level of concentration was 3.8, so it stays in the water for over 100 days, the chart only covered that time frame.
In 2010, there were some complaints about swimmers itch. After 12 years of chemical treating the lake they still have the Milfoil, in 2013 the numbers are increasing.
If you've got weeds around your dock, get a permit and buy the pellets, they're available for purchase.
There's also a product on the market that's a marine weed whip, about five years ago the cost was about $250, and there are other product options on the market.
My property abstract states my property is to the waters edge. I feel I should not have to pay for this project the township is planning.

We live in the country (in Tennessee, on top of in the country), like so far in the country a flock of wild turkeys flew in front of my car the other day and one died when he smashed into my windshield... Kinda gross, but all I could think later was "Why didn't I grab up that free-range turkey?!" Ha! We get local meat and cheese (and eggs, butter, etc.) and I slice it myself! No chemicals or additives! I get everything from a neighboring farm and grow a lot of our own veggies, fruit, and herbs, so I can do sliced meat and cheese rolled up with Mark's homemade mayo EASY! I'll just save the 'gourmet' for me with some of my basil or rosemary because it would be wasted on my son! Ha! Thank you for the suggestion!

Sandwiches with lettuce, peppers, grilled aubergine or sliced roast meat as the 'bread'.
Chicken or pork terrine.
How lucky you are to have the neighboring farm! One day I hope to be as lucky. Good luck with the lunches.
Once or twice per week, we allow our kids to choose the school lunch, which is not primal but is excellent in our district (I don't want to go too strict with them due to my own childhood experience with dietary rigidity). When I send lunch, they love the following:
Greek yogurt with a touch of honey (my older one just likes it plain - as tart as possible!); apple/cheddar cheese slices; roll-ups (as mentioned above); chicken tenders and carrots with ketchup "dip", warm soup in a thermos, hard boiled eggs; crustless quiche heated and then wrapped in foil to stay warm; any kind of sandwich made with a wrap or tortilla that I find to be not-too-terrible.
Any every once in a while, a PBJ.

*My obligatory intro
There are no cheat days. There are days when you eat primal and days you don't. As soon as you label a day a cheat day, you're on a diet. Don't be on a diet. ~~ Fernaldo

- NOOB QUESTION: Royalty Character Build
I am royalty class, Vit 12,Intelligence 14, Endur 11, Str 22, Dex 30, Luck 7, everything else base is this good build I am doing?
I am using Purple Flame Shield +3 (Don't understand why everyone uses this) & Winged Spear +5 good weapon to use?
What stats should I up next? I like to play both magic and melee not much arrows. O and I still have my old equipments...should I upgrade to something else? where should I go to find the armor or should I buy them?
Deatheven13 7 years ago#2
If your magic is fairly high you should upgrade your spear to a moon weapon.
PFS is used because there's not a lot else that can absorb fire damage ... things like firestorm and fireball will still get through but it works nicely for flaming weapons / toss / and firespray.
I wish pokemons were real sos I could set you on fire >: [
For someone who has no idea what he's doing, you're doing a pretty good job, I'd say. If you want to be more adventurous, I suggest getting some curved Asian swords (personally, I don't like spear-users, too easy to kill).
The reason why Purple Flame Shield is good is because it usually bounces back the other person's blade, has 100% physical damage reduction, and it's good for stages like 2-2 as there are fire traps that can really hurt someone if they aren't wary.
Oh, and you should make sure you can roll. Look to equipping a Ring of Great Strength if that Purple Flame Shield is hindering your movements. If you can't roll fast, then I suggest you look to really investing in your Endurance stats.
my Magic stat is at basic royal 13-14...is it too late to do Mage build or should I change into something else? wat stat to up next? and wher to get asian curved sword? with winged spear iwas hopping to upgrade to scraping spear
HOLD ON, man! Don't upgrade to Scraping Spear, especially if you don't have a different weapon that is good, or if you're not willing to part with your spear... That Scraping Spear has one of the lowest attack power of all the weapons, the only good thing about it is that it can destroy (absolutely devastating) someone's armor. However, it's not worth it versus monsters, no attack power equals no progress. Also, I think there is only one more Winged Spear in your playthrough (if you only have one), so if you think like the style of Spear fighting, and are not really enthusiastic with trying out different weapons (Short Spear isn't as great as Winged Spear, improved or not) then you might want to reconsider for the time being.
Also, just make sure you can roll. If you can't roll, up Endurance. If you can, then up Dex for damage, Magic for well... Magic. Spread out stats aren't bad in this game, and if you don't have stats to distribute to use a piece of weaponry or armor, than put it in anything you want (besides luck, I don't think it's worth investing there less you are seeking a BlueBlood Sword).
Deatheven13 7 years ago#6
Yeah you can turn a cheapie short spear into a scraping spear and it'll end up with the same stats.
Even with only 17ish magic you should get some use out of a moon spear ...
With your dex so high ... I could see a good time had with Hyper mode and an uchiganata
I wish pokemons were real sos I could set you on fire >: [
well I like the extra reach of spear, but I hate dealing with mobs as it isn't as good. I will look into finding new weapons and not upgrade my winged spear. as of now, is it too late to invest myself into mage build? or is me putting 30 into DEX and 22 on STR set me into a melee build?
Deatheven13 7 years ago#8
You can do supplemental magic ..but unless you like world 4-2 or 4-3 you're going to want to spec something now or reroll ...
Some magic is powerful enough it won't matter though ..have you used dragon god soul yet?
Flamestorm is apparently obligatory though I do enjoy fireball as well since it seems to go through sheilds because of the AoE effect.
I wish pokemons were real sos I could set you on fire >: [
What Soul Level are you? Sorry, I don't really want to do the math. If you're above 70, then I suggest sticking with a melee build. Really, though, the highest level is 712, and that leaves you with plenty of room to forge any kind of character you want. So even though you might be building a melee build now, you can build a mage anytime you want. It's just a matter of when. The reason I say above 70 is because the souls required becomes more and more steeper, and you might not get the results you want (at least not in the amount of time that you probably want).
Deatheven13 posted...
why do I need to like world 4-2 or 4-3? what do u mean I would want to spec something now or reroll? and I haven't used my dragon god soul.

DULUTH, Minn. (NNCNOW.com) --- U.S. Congressman Rick Nolan's Republican challenger is demanding a new attack ad be taken down.
In a letter to local television stations, Stewart Mills claims a new attack ad by House Majority PAC and AFSCME contains misleading information and "blatant lies" about his stances on minimum wage and tax reform.
The attack ad says Mills is out of touch and strings three separate sentences together to try to prove it.
"I guess one could say it could be seen as putting words in his (Mills) mouth," said University of Wisconsin Superior Political Science Professor Alison Von Hagel.
Von Hagel says the majority of the ad does not contain factual errors, but provides information that could be misleading to voters.
"The splicing is cause for concern and certainly is used for particular motivation on the part of the producers," Von Hagel said.
Mills says the ad manipulates the timing of his words in a twenty minute long speech.
"Now Stewart Mills is against raising the minimum wage, but wants a tax break for the wealthy," the ad says.
If you ask the Mills campaign, these claims are not true.
Mills said he never once called for a tax break on the wealthy and says raising the minimum wage will not fix the economy, but job growth will.
U.S. Congressman Greg Walden says the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) will provide financial support to even out attack ads published by Democratic leaning outside groups.
"They realize that Mr. Nolan is not in touch with his constituents, he's cast some really bad votes and kind of represents the extreme side of the spectrum," Walden said.
Von Hagel says the 8th Congressional District race will be targeted by more ad's like House Majority PAC's, and voters should be critical of all attack ads on both sides this election cycle.
"There are truly so few competitive districts left in this country," Von Hagel said. "When there are competitive races, when there is an open seat, when there is an incumbent that looks like he or she could be challenged, what we see is all the money in the political universe seems to converge on these places."
A spokesman said House Majority PAC and AFSCME are pumping in $150,000 combined to air the ad against Mills.

County could cut health costs
Over the past few weeks, Kitsap County officials have managed to all but secure a deal on employee health-care coverage and benefits that could save the county an estimated $750,000 next year.
Although there will still be an increase in medical costs next year under the revamped plans, that increase is expected to drop from 19 percent to about 10 percent.
The deal has yet to be sealed, however.
County Administrator Malcolm Flem-ing said the hope is to execute the health insurance contracts with Group Health and Kitsap Physicians Services by the end of the year plans that are to affect about 430 non-union employees.
We want this wrapped up by the end of the year so that it is assured going into 2003, Fleming said.
The re-negotiation effort with insurance providers has been so successful that county officials say they want to secure similar changes for their union employees, or roughly 770 staff members.
The county has scheduled talks with the unions with that goal in mind, and negotiations are supposed to move forward. There are county budget implications after all.
One of the problems driving the countys current budget woes is the ever-increasing insurance rates, not to mention the 28 state unfunded mandates and recent voter approval of tax-limiting initiatives.
Since 1998, Kitsap County has totally absorbed the increased costs in health benefit packages, but those times have seemingly screeched to a halt.
With health benefit premiums increasing at a quicker pace than available revenue streams, the county cant continue in that vein. For instance, four years ago the county paid $296.96 a month in health benefits for every county employee, except for sheriffs deputies who received a slightly better package.
County budget analysts say that, this year, the same health benefit package would cost the county $719.15 a month for every employee thats a total increase of 142 percent.
Under the new medical plans, the rate was trimmed to two options one to $585 a month per employee, and the other to $564 a month per employee.
In general, the soon-to-be adopted medical plans mainly require employees to plunk down higher co-pays and, in some cases, higher co-insurance rates.
The changes reflected in the medical plans were largely brought about because of suggestions made by county employees themselves, officials said.
Some employees offered to waive coverage through the county. Officials worked with the insurance carriers, and now its possible to voluntarily drop county coverage, so long as employees provide the county with proof of alternate medical coverage.

Wahoo! I mean that in the celebratory sense, really.
The April 4 Indians home opener against the Minnesota Twins at Progressive Field is a sellout, according to published reports. In fact, it's the 22nd consecutive home opener that the Tribe has sold out.
I understand that for those feeling flush, tickets to that first game of the season can still be had for fans willing to buy season tickets, paying the price for an entire season of baseball. Or, you could take your chances with scalpers.
I think this is exciting on several fronts. For one, the Cleveland fans are amazing. Our hope for a winning team truly springs eternal. No matter what happened at the conclusion of the previous season, the fans spring back, like hardy spring flowers eager to cheer up and cheer the team on.
Secondly, in our climate, the beginning of baseball season means that spring is surely coming. However, weather-wise, it does not mean that spring is actually here, even if the calendar says we are already two weeks into the season at that point.
I'm rooting for a warm day for all those hearty and hardy souls who attend April games. Hopefully, I'll catch the game on TV, radio or video feed. If not, I'll have more than 150 games to catch when the weather catches up to the calendar. The nice thing about baseball is it's a long season. Some would argue that it's too long, but those arguments aren't made until late summer.
I gave up attending early spring games a number of years ago when the April showers changed up with the pitching staff to snow showers and the tarps were on the field more than off before the game was called.
The snowflakes were pretty against the bright lights in the night sky. The sopping wet fans weren't pretty vibrating in their seats, not with enthusiasm, but in a feeble attempt to fight off hypothermia. To make matters worse, it wasn't the opener, it was later in the month when it really should have been warmer, or so I thought.
It occurred to me then that baseball was intended to be a summer game. It's played at a leisurely pace. It has a seventh inning stretch, as if to wake us from a lazy summer afternoon nap. Aren't the players called "The Boys of Summer?"
I decided then that the frost in my beer mug should be manmade, not dropped down from an unforgiving sky. I tried to tough it out, but the vendors didn't make any hot coffee or cocoa to sell, only ice cold beer and ice cold soft drinks.
We had two freezing kids with us, so we packed it in and promised to return to another game, but not before July.
When I moved to the area many moons ago, one of the first things I did for entertainment was go to games at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. With so many seats available, you could spread out, take a picnic, get a suntan and read a book if the game slowed to a crawl. Admission was cheap, so even if the Tribe had a lackluster day, you could still have a nice outing.
Adults who grew up here have fond memories that mix baseball with favorite uncles, cousins and grandparents, some who may be gone now from this earth plane. The team they associate these memories with is the Cleveland Indians, the Tribe and, yes its mascot Chief Wahoo.
Baseball, more than any other sport, is steeped in tradition and even superstitions and hexes. So, if you depose a longstanding mascot, will you bring luck or a pox on the team?
I didn't grow up here. So, a few weeks ago in this space I asked readers who did, to give me their views. I reasoned that if Chief Wahoo had to go, so did the name Cleveland Indians, because that, too, could be considered derogatory.
I asked readers what the name and or
mascot should be. I proffered up "Block C," since that is already being used on
some uniforms and fan apparel.
I also wondered if the team should bring back an earlier team's name, the Cleveland Spiders, Even if that team had the worst record ever, it still has a history and tradition behind it.
Here's what some of you said via emails to me.
Jay - "The Best name is The Rockers. Embrace a positive local brand. The women's basketball team used that name and people loved it. Also the baseball field is on Rock and Roll Blvd."
Rosemarie – "I am educated, a constant reader and a pretty liberal person. I have really tried to understand the view that Wahoo is racist. I just don't get it. Leave Wahoo alone. "
Chip - "Get rid of Chief Wahoo and the Indians' name. They are forever linked to losing. Think of the marketing dollars the team could raise by changing its name. No one is going to stop being a fan if they became the Spiders. I'd get rid of it because of the legacy of losing more than anything."
Mary Ann – "Chief Wahoo is part of a long time tradition of baseball. When I see the Chief, I immediately think of our Cleveland Indians, not some racial figure. I grew up with Chief Wahoo and have a fondness towards him. I never saw him as an American Indian. He is a caricature for heaven's sake. It is not meant to ridicule. It is part of our Cleveland tradition and our beloved baseball team. It needs to be left alone."
For the rough-and-tumble online dialogue following my initial query, here's the link, http://www.cleveland.com/cleveland-heights/index.ssf/2014/03/say_it_aint_so_chief_wahoo_pre.html.

|Matthew Petti, Tom Benedict
Author Matthew Petti presented a new context for humanity's history, touching on the Apocalypse, the Great Pyramid, Atlantis, and various metaphysical ideas and mysteries. Regarding the biblical notion of a pending apocalypse (see our related poll), he doesn't foresee the end of the world, but rather drastic change, "and an unveiling of truth through the harsh experiences that enlighten us." He related the construction of the Great Pyramid in Egypt to a civilization that existed over 4 million years ago-- the Atlanteans, whom he described as supreme beings, who were much more evolved than the humans of today.
Explaining his timeline, he said that scientific evidence for a deluge that engulfed the Earth (such as described in the story of Noah's Ark) has not occurred in over two million years. Using the terms Alpha as our beginning point, and Omega as the end point, he suggested that the cycle of the human journey begins and ends with absolute perfection, supreme beings living in a high state of existence in the world. Underneath the miles of ice in Antarctica, there could be evidence of their previous civilization-- this location was previously temperate before climate shifts occurred, he noted.
Healing with Stones
First hour guest, healer and intuitive Tom Benedict talked about the healing properties of stones and crystals. Different types of stones have particular frequencies which can match up with various systems in the human body, and help them to function better, he explained. For instance, Black Tourmaline is a great stone to help people stay grounded, focused, and articulate, while Selenite and Apophylite can be used to bring in white light and energy, he said. People can work with the stones by carrying them in their pocket, as jewelry, being held during meditation, or even placed on the body, he detailed.

Welcome to the Thomann Research Group website in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University! Our research interests are centered around novel applications of nanophotonics, in which engineered metallic (plasmonic) and dielectric nanostructures are used to achieve unprecedented control over the flow of light and its spatial localization into tiny volumes. In a second exciting area of research, the temporal confinement of light down to attosecond durations has just become possible.
We aim to leverage advances in both these areas to create novel materials and nanostructures, to study their fundamental properties (optical, electrical and photoelectrochemical), and use them to solve practical problems, e.g. in the areas of energy and photocatalysis. Our research is highly interdisciplinary, and benefits from interactions between researchers across all disciplines of engineering and science, including ECE, chemical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry and biology!
Please feel free to contact us for more information!

Xbox One storage is expandable with external hard drives
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Storage, Video Games
The Xbox One will ship with a 500GB internal hard drive, and we've found out that the drive is "locked" inside the console. In other words, unlike the Xbox 360, users are not able to swap out the Xbox One hard drive for a larger unit. What happens if you run out of space, then? After all, the Xbox One will install every game to the hard drive, and the games are definitely going to be bigger now that they'll be on Blu-ray.
Luckily, the solution is easy. Microsoft included USB 3.0 on the Xbox One, and says that you can connect an external hard drive to the console, and it can be used for everything that the internal hard drive can be used for. So go ahead and grab an external terabyte or two and load up--adding extra storage is as simple as plugging it in.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Video Games
Now that Microsoft has shown off the new Xbox One, many are wondering when they'll be able to get their hands on it, and at what cost. All the company was willing to tell us was that it will be available for purchase later this year. Don't worry, though, the company also has a pre-order notification list going right now through the Microsoft Store. Simple sign up with your email address, and you will be notified when pre-orders are going to be open. Even better? You'll also get a $10 online store credit just for signing up, as well.

Microsoft announces the Xbox One
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Video Games
At today's #XboxReveal event, Microsoft announced the Xbox One. Don Mattrick took the stage and said that Xbox One is a truly "all-in-one" box that is "simple, instant, and complete." From the looks of the device, it sports a dual-toned black color scheme with a slot-loading (goodbye, tray!) Blu-ray drive. We also get the standard Xbox power button with the ring of light surrounding it.
When looking at the Xbox One hardware, it looks akin to an older set-top box. It's pretty wide and pretty tall, likely because of all the high-end guts on the inside. Speaking of specs, the Xbox One has 8GB RAM (up from 512MB in the Xbox 360,) an octo-core processor, and ships with a 500GB hard drive. A Blu-ray drive is included as mentioned, along with USB 3.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi (no 802.11ac for a console that will likely be around for 5-8 years?)

Nokia Lumia 928 outed in Vanity Fair
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Microsoft
We've been keeping tabs on the Nokia Lumia 928 for a while, but it has never been confirmed in any official capacity until today. The Lumia 928 quietly made an appearance in a two-page advertisment spread in Vanity Fair, as well as on a simple page on the Nokia Web site. It appears that the 928 is focusing on the camera:
Nokia exclusive PureView technology, with Optical Image Stabilization and high-end Carl Zeiss optics let you capture and share amazing blur-free photos and videos, even in low light conditions.
As expected, Verizon Wireless will be the carrier for the Lumia 928. Expect a nice, official unveiling to take place a week from today, on May 14th. We aren't expecting the internals to be too different from the Nokia Lumia 920.

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — Workers were cleaning a large section of the South Brunswick library today after a water pipe in a restroom burst, spreading about three inches of water across a large portion of the main floor.
The break was discovered about 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and library staff and firefighters spent much of the night mopping up the water, police Sgt. James Ryan said.
No books were damaged but the building was closed today and may be closed again Friday, Ryan said.
