Perhaps the most fitting way to describe Copernicus is as a "performance poet." Even though the gentleman originally named Joseph Smalkowski plays keyboards, Copernicus refuses to be categorised as a musician. Despite often having inhabited the alternative New York rock'n'roll scene, his music also exudes strong elements of jazz, classical and the avant garde. Even though Copernicus' preferred recording strategy is that of improvisation, his epic pieces tend to revolve around themes, riffs and repeated clusters, moving along a clearly linear pathway.
The booming delivery and abstract texts evoke the spirit of classic beat generation poetry, but the Copernicus stance goes back even further to the theatrical confrontations of the Dada movement. He's always preferred the improvisatory approach, even though each poem's grist might be prepared in advance, their rhythms and content might be disassembled in the moment.
Copernicus has always been fiercely independent, since he first started recording in this manner, back at the dawn of the 1980s. He organises the recording sessions, sculpts the assembled band, oversees the album artwork and releases each disc on his own Nevermore, Inc. label. 1985 brought Nothing Exists, which emphatically laid out the themes of his subsequent work. A burst of creativity led to the swift succession of Victim Of The Sky (1987), Deeper (1989) and Null (1990). Often, Copernicus would perform with large-scale ensembles, but in 1991 he initiated the practice of giving completely solo performances, revealing his declamations in a stripped, confrontational space. He views himself as a conduit for abstract ideas and philosophical notions. Copernicus decided that his particular marriage of music and narrative was the best way to communicate his thoughts and concepts to a receptive audience.
He released "No Borderline" in 1993, but there was to be a longer gap before the eventual release of 2001's "Immediate Eternity" -- which moved in a completely different direction, as its creator was spending increasing amounts of time in Ecuador.
Copernicus was evolving after having spent three years penning his book, also called Immediate Eternity. He linked up with Los Nomadas from Guayaquil, the country's biggest city, and his music moved temporarily more towards the zone of jazz-rock fusion. With 2010's Disappearance, Copernicus made a return to the old established methods, refining them into a distillation of an ongoing obsession with the freedom and beauty of nothingness.

Date of death: December 6, 1996
Print Biography
Alvin Ray Rozelle was born in South Gate, California, and grew up in neighboring Lynwood, suburban communities southeast of Los Angeles. He was nicknamed "Pete" by a favorite uncle, who, like his father, encouraged his interest in sports and the outdoors. He played basketball and tennis at Compton High School and served as sports editor of his school's paper, as well as working weekends at the Long Beach Press Telegram newspaper. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he returned to the Los Angeles area, and enrolled at Compton Junior College. The Cleveland Rams football team, newly relocated to Los Angeles, practiced at Compton, and Rozelle worked part-time for the team's publicity department, where he caught the eye of Rams executive Tex Schramm.
When the longtime Commissioner of the National Football League, Bert Bell, died suddenly in 1959, the team owners found themselves deadlocked over the choice of a replacement. After 23 ballots, they settled on a surprise choice, Pete Rozelle. At age 33, Rozelle was less well-known and less experienced than the two other candidates, and there was speculation that he had been chosen because the owners imagined that he could be easily manipulated, but this soon proved not to be the case.
It was assumed that the role of commissioner was to moderate disputes between owners and serve as a bureaucratic spokesman for the sport, but Rozelle embraced a larger mission: building the wealth and prestige of professional football as an industry. When he assumed the post in January 1960, there were barely a dozen teams in the league, playing poorly attended games, mostly un-televised. A few of the owners had individually negotiated broadcast rights for their teams' games, but the franchises in smaller markets languished in unprofitable obscurity. Team owners were wary of expanding the league, fearful they would saturate the market.
Meanwhile, Texas multimillionaire Lamar Hunt had started a rival organization, the American Football League (AFL) and was aggressively competing for talent with the older league by bidding up players' salaries. Rozelle succeeded in adding two franchises to the league in his first year, blocking AFL expansion in those markets, but he believed the future of the game lay in expanding its national television audience. He moved the NFL offices from Philadelphia to New York, home of the three major television networks, and began aggressively pursuing broadcast deals. The most profitable arrangement, he knew, would be to give a single network the broadcast rights to the games of the entire league, rather than allowing the larger franchises to negotiate their own deals with different networks. Rozelle's plan faced significant regulatory hurdles, stemming from the Sherman Antitrust Act, the federal law restricting monopolies.
At the same time, Rozelle had to cope with an antitrust lawsuit brought against the league by Lamar Hunt's AFL. The federal courts dismissed the AFL suit in 1962, but friction between the rival associations continued. Rozelle encountered controversy early in his tenure as Commissioner. Rumors of players' involvement in gambling threatened the game's public image. Early in 1963, Rozelle suspended players Paul Hornung and Alex Karras for betting on games. Rozelle's measures were applauded, but worse difficulties lay ahead.
When President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, Rozelle had to decide whether to proceed with the season, with only two days between the murder of the president and the next scheduled game. After consulting with White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, a friend from San Francisco college days, Rozelle elected to proceed with the games. He felt it would set a good example for a nation persevering in the face of loss, but all broadcasts were preempted for news coverage of the assassination and its aftermath, and Rozelle was subjected to harsh criticism. Nevertheless, his ability to mediate the squabbles of contentious franchise owners won him the respect of the national sports press, and he was selected as 1963 "Sportsman of the Year" by Sports Illustrated magazine.
Rozelle undertook the most difficult challenge of his career, negotiating a merger of the two rival leagues. After reaching an agreement with the assorted team owners, Rozelle still had a significant regulatory obstacle. The television networks in particular dreaded bargaining for broadcasting rights with a single unified professional football league. In his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Rozelle assured lawmakers the merger would preserve the existing franchises and continue to generate revenue for the host cities. Congress granted professional football an exemption from the Sherman Antitrust Act.
A merger of the leagues was agreed to in 1966, with Pete Rozelle serving as Commissioner of the combined organization, although the realignment of professional football into American and National Conferences within a single National Football League was not fully completed until 1970. Rozelle also persuaded the team owners to abide by a single draft process that would allow the lowest-ranked teams the first choice of newly available college players. This raised the overall standard of play throughout the league, drawing increased attendance for all teams, and a rapidly increasing television viewership.
The upset victory of the New York Jets in Super Bowl III brought unprecedented publicity to professional football. As concerned as ever with the image of the game, Rozelle threatened to suspend the winning Jets quarterback Joe Namath if the star player did not sell his interest in a nightclub frequented by professional gamblers. Namath retired rather than face suspension, but within six weeks had returned to his team on Rozelle's terms. With the growing popularity of televised football on Sunday afternoons, Rozelle engineered the introduction in 1970 of Monday Night Football, a weekly television event that has become a wintertime obsession for many Americans, and is the longest-running non-news program on prime-time television.
In 1974, Rozelle had to deal with a preseason work stoppage by the players' union. The dispute was resolved before the season began, but professional football's labor troubles were far from over. For the first time since the AFL-NFL merger, Rozelle had to contend with a rival association, the start-up World Football League. The new league lasted little more than a year, but it reignited the inflation in players' salaries that the merger had squelched. Rozelle had secured his league's exemption for the antitrust law by assuring Congress that the teams would stay put in their respective markets, but team owners began to demand that host cities build larger and larger stadiums with more and more amenities. When cities balked, a number of owners attempted to move their franchises elsewhere. Rozelle was able to prevent a number of these relocations, but he lost a bitter court case with Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, who moved his team from Oakland to Los Angeles, and then back again, antagonizing fans and civic leaders in both cities. The 1980s brought another challenge to the NFL's domination of professional football with the emergence of the United States Football League. The USFL lasted three seasons, 1983-85, notable mainly for the performances of running back Herschel Walker, who enjoyed a subsequent career with the NFL.
For the last seven years of his life, Pete Rozelle continued to advise the NFL from his home in Rancho Santa Fe, California. He succumbed to a brain tumor at the age of 70. He was survived by his wife Carrie, and by a daughter from a previous marriage. In his lifetime, Pete Rozelle's contribution to the growth of the NFL went nearly unnoticed in a milieu crowded with outsized personalities, but with the passing of the years, it has become more and more apparent that he did more than anyone to develop professional football into the powerful force in American popular culture that we know today. In 2000, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century.

Out of the way. Great setting. Golf course and a number of swimming pools restrooms and laundry rooms.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Lot of very scruffy people and campers. But this is a good location to visit Mt. Hood. Tough parking a large motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
We rented a PULL IN waterfront space. Management allowed a back in rv next to us. The back in rv's door was on our side and the people attempted to use our space for their table, chairs, rugs and bbq. At $66.00 per night we don't expect to share the site with another camper, The management looks the other way and claims they have no control. All the waterfront spaces are pull in and the power and water is on the drivers side rear of the site. A back in rv has to run their sewer, power and water from the reverse side under their rv.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
Nice location on the water. To much local traffic coming into the park to view the ocean. They park right in front of the RV and block access as they sight see through the drive. I would hate to be there in the summer when the local crowds flock in to enjoy the beach in front of the RV's.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
One of the nicer state parks. We always try to stop here. They did suffer a lot of storm damage from the Dec 3rd wind storms. Lots of trees and branches down, but clean up well under way.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
Great - If you travel through the Oregon Coast don't miss this Resort. Spotless and well groomed. We were in site 54 with an ocean view and the ocean lapping at the rocks about 30 feet behind our site. What a great experience after the nightmare visit to Turtle Rock RV in Gold Beach Oregon
Date of Stay: December, 2007
Worst RV Park we ever stayed at. Upon entry there are several junked double wide trailers across from the office. There is an RV Storage Lot at the entry which looks like junked RV's. There is an RV Sales Lot across from the office with what looks like a junked old GMC for sale. They advertise WiFi- we had no access. They advertise level sites - We ran out of blocks attempting to level site 94. They advertise Cable TV- 12 channels that were flipping in and out every 15 seconds. Construction material, equipment and vehicles parked all over the park. Turtle Rock RV Park made our Christmas Holiday a nightmare. I took a number of photos to back up my comments. I'll email to anyone interested. I also sent copies to the owners in the hope they would repair their trailer park dump. These people should be ashamed to use what seems to be false advertising based on our experience. By the way this was our second visit. We stayed at site 93 Christmas of 2005 and it looked very much the same but on that visit Management told us it would all cleaned up. We trusted them.
Date of Stay: November, 2007
Great Location - Close to Gig Harbor town and shopping. Converted old KOA Park. No improvements- Dark and dingy. Dirt pads. Since they are the only RV location in Gig Harbor they don't have to do anything except exist. I think from the attitude of the staff they are holdovers from the KOA sale several years ago. They match the look of the place. We won't return.


text: LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD), the leader in hydrogen fueling technology, today officially opened its newest California hydrogen fueling station drawing its feedstock from a very novel and sustainable source. Air Products is pumping hydrogen into fuel cell vehicles that is generated from the municipal wastewater treatment plant at the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) in Fountain Valley. In addition to generating hydrogen, the project also creates electricity and heat from this renewable source. This technology application is uniquely the first in the world and opens significant opportunities for other biogas feedstock streams. Methane gas is created while the wastewater at the OCSD facility sits in holding tanks. This methane begins a clean-up process where the gas stream enters a purification system and then feeds into a fuel cell, built by FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL), where it is reformed to hydrogen. In the fuel cell, clean electricity is produced for use at the OCSD facility and the heat created could also be directed to several site uses. Excess hydrogen not converted to electricity leaves the unit and is further purified to make it vehicle grade for fuel cell automobile fueling via Air Products' technology. The facility will produce enough hydrogen for 25 to 50 fuel cell vehicle fuelings per day and generate 250 kilowatts of electricity daily. "This location will show how well this technology works and can be applied to wastewater and other waste applications to generate hydrogen. It is another first for Air Products in terms of the varied sources of feed from which hydrogen can be produced, stored and dispensed by our proprietary fueling technology," said Ed Heydorn, business development manager – Hydrogen Energy Systems at Air Products. "Another plus is that renewable hydrogen is required to be in the mix in fueling stations in California. We look to this type of technology as a platform to meet the renewable requirement and to supply even cleaner hydrogen to the next generation of fuel cell vehicles." Heydorn also praised the public-private project collaboration that included the United States Department of Energy, which provided partial funding, OCSD, Air Products, FuelCell Energy, National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine, California Air Resources Board and South Coast Air Quality Management District. "This is the epitome of sustainability by taking a human waste and transforming it into electricity which we need, and transportation fuel that we need, as well as thermal product heat that could serve the process of transforming the feed waste into productive products," said Professor Scott Samuelsen, director – National Fuel Cell Research Center, University of California, Irvine. "This project is at the nexus of the challenge for the next millennium associating how we handle in concert transportation, energy and water resources." Ed Torres, director – Operations and Maintenance for OCSD, views the project as part of the solution to air quality issues in the region. "It provides an alternative to us in dealing with air quality in this basin where we are heavily regulated. The project also ensures us going into the future that we have a technology that can provide power and heat and produces a transportation fuel with no emissions and comes from a renewable source. I think this provides a promising future for our industry." Feedstock sources such as agricultural, food, and brewery wastes and landfill gas can benefit from this technology. If all of these available streams were converted to hydrogen it could support fueling up to 200 million fuel cell vehicles in the U.S. with hydrogen and point to sustainable energy independence.

Impact of myocardial deformation on cardiac remodelling
Noninvasive analysis of cardiac function gives prognostic information regarding individual risk of remodelling and thereby future cardiac events. Myocardial deformation is the common effect of myocardial fiber contraction. Conventional methods for determining deformation are limited in accuracy. Our hypothesis is that three directional transmural deformation of the myocardial wall will predict positive or negative ventricular remodelling and response to therapy.
Left ventricular deformation will be determined with "DENSE" MRI. Three conditions with remodelling will be addressed: 1. Wall motion and remodelling in coronary artery disease. In a multicenter trial the accuracy of several modalities and parameters used in noninvasive cardiac imaging in patiens with a high likelihood of significant coronary artery disease. 2: Unexplained cardiac enlargement in dilated cardiomyopathy, with patients recruited locally 3: Short term effects of afterload reduction and long term effects on remodeling from transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared with conventional surgical aortic valve replacement. Measurements in different patient groups will be compared with results obtained from MRI-studies of healthy volunteers, subjected to a variation in pre- and afterload. More appropriate treatment decisions and better allocation of health resources can be the result of the improved understanding of the physiology of deformation in myocardial remodelling.

text:
ISR is a quarterly journal that seeks to interrelate contemporary and historical developments in the sciences and technology to the humanities and arts. It looks for contributions that measure up to the highest excellence in scholarship but that also speak to an audience of intelligent non-specialists. It actively explores the differing trajectories of the disciplines and practices in its purview, to clarify what each is attempting to do in its own terms, so that constructive dialogue across them is strengthened. It focuses whenever possible on conceptual bridge-building and collaborative research that nevertheless respect disciplinary variation.
ISR achieves its coherence as a journal by publishing articles which address in some combination the strategies, realities, pitfalls, ambitions and consequences of interdisciplinary research. No discipline or combination of disciplines, whether pursued collaboratively or individually, is excluded in principle but only articles that explicitly engage with the question of interdisciplinarity are accepted. The literature on interdisciplinarity is vast but so little of it helpful that contributors to ISR have a good chance of making a difference simply by critical discussion of their attempts.
For a representative issue (with content freely available online) see ISR 33.4, "Neuroscience: the humanities and arts" [X]. Note that the publisher's site provides access for subscribers to an online repository of all back issues.
ISR publishes chiefly themed issues put together by a guest editor. One issue per year is open to unsolicited submissions. Ideas for both are most welcome providing they fit within the aims of the journal. Note that the next available full issue is in 2016. Anyone wishing to submit an article should first communicate with the Editor, sending along an abstract or other brief description. Competence in written English at the level of a native speaker is required.
All submissions are peer-reviewed in the usual double-blind manner. Individuals wishing to review articles should contact the Editor.
The audience of ISR includes readers from all disciplines in the sciences, humanities and arts. Since styles of reasoning and argument as well as rhetoric vary widely across the disciplines, an author is expected to be rather more explicit concerning the conventions and assumptions of his or her own than is normally the case for a more specialised journal. Often it is necessary to say both what is and what is not being attempted. Since the objective is to communicate rather than to proclaim, authors need to take into consideration readers' tacit expectations and apprehensions as well as likely familiarity with the particular subject of the article. The Editor is happy to advise.
Ideally a paper for ISR is one that both meets the approval of specialists in the author's field(s) and challenges non-specialist readers in such a way as to stimulate their curiosity and desire to learn. Two examples should suffice: first, the approach taken by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern in Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (1953), explained in their prefatory "Technical Note" [X]; second, Ian Hacking's way of doing philosophy, on which he comments in "The Complacent Disciplinarian" [X].
ISR's bibliographic style follows a particular variant of the Chicago author-date format, with a list of works cited, in alphabetical order by author, at the end. Illustrations require particular care. See the publisher's Notes for contributors for details [X].
Enquiries are welcome, to the Editor, whose contact details are on his website, as above. Note that all enquiries will be promptly acknowledged. If you do not receive an acknowledgement within 24 hours please resend.
For all matters relating to subscription, see the publisher's site, as above.

Raninder Singh re-elected NRAI president
The 46-year-old Singh is a trap shooter and has also participated in ISSF World Cups and National Championships.
New Delhi: Raninder Singh was on Saturday re-elected unopposed as the president of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) for a four-year term. This is Raninder's second term in office. He was first elected president of the NRAI in December 2010 when he defeated Shyam Singh Yadav by a huge margin.
The 46-year-old Singh, who represents Punjab in NRAI's governing body, is a trap shooter and has also participated in ISSF World Cups and National Championships. He got an overwhelming support from across the country getting 517 votes out of 843 for the authorisation to nominate members to the general house.
The vice-presidents elected were Ajay Patel (Gujarat), Deep Bhatia (Haryana), Putuul Kumari (Bihar), M S Rana (Uttarakhand) and Kalikesh Kumar (Odisha). Tamil Nadu's D V S Rao has been appointed to the post of Secretary General while Jagmeet Singh Sethi and Darius Chennai have been elected as joint secretaries.
The shooting federation appointed Sanjay Behl to the post of treasurer. It was learnt that Raninder's father and former Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh was also present during the elections.
The NRAI also elected 16 governing body members. They are AtulBehroor, A K Singh, Ashok K Kumar Chatterjee, Devasia Kurien, Gurjeet Singh Ujala, Eshan Rohal, J S Marwah, Karan Kumar, Kishan Avatar Sethi, Neil Soopinck, Pawan Kumar Singh, R Ravi Krishnan, Rajesh Jagdale, Rosangliana Ralte, Subhash Rana, Surender Dutt Sharma.

Festivals/Annual Events
Visitors to Ballard on May 17, and there were many of them, could be forgiven for thinking they had been transported to another time and place. Men and women walked Market Street in traditional Scandinavian outfits, waltzes played on an accordion drifted from Bergen Place and Norwegian flags waved from every flag-able surface.
Ballard's annual Syttende Mai celebration took over the neighborhood, starting with crafts and lunch at the Nordic Heritage Museum and culminating in the parade, with its thousands of participants and onlookers.
Ingrid Chamales, who recently moved to Gig Harbor from South Dakota, was checking out the Nordic Heritage Museum with her husband for the first time on May 17.
Her parents are from Norway, and she said she decided to make the trip from Gig Harbor for the festivities because she read about it in a Sons of Norway magazine.
Chamales' husband was disappointed by the lack of lutefisk but said he would be back for the annual lutefisk-eating contest at the Ballard Seafood Fest.
Following are the winners from the 2010 Syttende Mai Parade. Winners may pick up their trophies at Union Bank (formerly Frontier Bank), located at 5602 15th Ave. N.W.
"Delibertus Quirkus" – the freedom to be peculiar – is the unofficial motto of Fremont, and at no other time does the sentiment play out more prominently than at the annual Fremont Fair, set to take place the weekend of June 19 and 20.
Produced by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and held annually near the calendar Summer Solstice, the weekend festival draws families, freewheelers, young, old and everyone in between, all coming together to celebrate summer and Fremont and its unconventional culture.
As is tradition, the event will coincide with the much-loved Solstice Parade, organized by the Fremont Arts Council. The parade – famous for its wild and whimsical floats and spectacles – kicks off at noon on June 19 starting at North 36th Street and Leary Way and flowing through the heart of Fremont to end at Gasworks Park.
Highlights for this year's Fremont Fair activities include:
- More than 300 shopping booths featuring colorful world imports and novel handmade creations, plus boutique shopping throughout the streets.
Overcast skies and a slight drizzle May 1 didn't keep Ballardites from flocking to the first-ever Ballard Urban Picnic, or BURP, where lines for some of the premiere street food vendors in the city were occasionally 40 people deep.
The Ballard Chamber of Commerce created BURP, which featured mobile food vendors, a beer garden, live music, inflatable bouncers, community booths and more, as a way to bring more community activity to Ballard Commons Park.
"We all thought we had this great park and it doesn't get as much use as it could," said Beth Miller, Ballard Chamber of Commerce executive director.
Miller said she thought this would be a small event that would be easier to organize than the multiple-day Seafood Fest.
While it was still easier than Seafood Fest, it was not easy, she said. They started out with an idea to have food vendors in the park for a day, then decided they needed entertainment, then something for children and all of a sudden there was a lot of organizing to do, she said.
Miller said the turnout at the event was great, especially because weather on May 1 is always a toss up.
The Ballard Chamber of Commerce is offering the Ballard Urban Picnic, or BURP, for the consideration of the neighborhood's collective stomaches.
BURP, which runs from noon to 9 p.m. on May 1, will cram Ballard Commons Park with a lineup of mobile food vendors, a beer garden with proceeds going to the Ballard Food Bank, live music, bouncy toys, skateboard demonstrations, community booths and an outdoor showing of Pixar's "Ratatouille."
Food vendors include Dante's Inferno Dogs, Anita's Crepes, Veraci Pizza, Skillet, Here & There and Parfait Ice Cream. The beer garden is being furnished by Maritime Pacific Brewery.
The Ballard Chamber of Commerce is looking for volunteers for BURP. Click here to sign up.
The Greenwood-Phinney Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the community's various talents this summer as it honors The Coats, a local a cappella group with a national reputation, as the grand marshals of the 60th annual Greenwood Seafair Parade July 28.
The theme for this year is Greenwood's Got Talent, Celebrating 60 Super Summers.
"I think with The Coats leading off our parade, we can focus on some of the great talent in our community and let them show their stuff in the parade," parade chair Ann Woodward said in a press release. "Getting out there and performing, whether it is singing, dancing, fitness training, playing an instrument, gardening or whatever, is an excellent ways to exercise your mind and body, have fun and stay healthy."
The Coats started their career on the street corners of Seattle, which evolved into a full-time international performance career. They have won national vocal competitions.
The Greenwood Seafair Parade takes place from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on July 28.
On Easter morning at Ballard Corners Park, half the assembled adults hid eggs while the other half restrained the eager egg hunters lined up along the sidewalk awaiting the start of the neighborhood-organized egg hunt.
The children were released in an egg-gathering frenzy, leaving the adults to chase after them with cameras and tease each other about which parents were offering too much help in their children's pursuit of eggs.
Six-year-old Olivia Jett, for one, said she prefers her Easter egg hunts without adult help.
"I'm good at looking," she said. "I'm a really good hunter."
Jalair Box, mother of six-year-old Jaya, said it is nice to have an event where all the neighborhood children who don't know each other can get together.
Ballard Big Picture is a column of scenes from around the neighborhood. If you would like to submit a photo for use on this site and in the Ballard News-Tribune, please send it to Michael Harthorne at firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to include your name and information about your photo.
Neighborhoods groups and the city of Seattle will team up again this year to create fun for residents on local streets and support nearby businesses through the Celebrate Seattle Summer Streets program. Starting in May and running through August, Celebrate Seattle Summer Streets events will be held in Ballard, Alki, Greenwood / Phinney Ridge and the Rainier Valley.
In its third year, Summer Streets events open up roads to pedestrians and bicyclists, offering people a way to have fun, celebrate the spirit and personality of their neighborhood, and support local businesses. Each of the four events is organized in partnership with a local group and is augmented, where appropriate, by other city activities such as Bicycle Sundays on Lake Washington Blvd (occurring almost every Sunday throughout the summer.)
Visitors to the 2010 Northwest Flower and Garden Show, which opened Feb. 3, may be shocked by one of the gardens they see situated amongst the more prim, pretty and perfect gardens at the show.
"Viridis Veni Vidi Vici," created by Ballard High School agriculture students, is a depiction of nature reclaiming an abandoned school – a post-apocalyptic garden.
"People will either love it or hate it," said Emerald McAmis, one of the students behind the project.
The garden features graffitied walls, mangled books and broken desks being taken over by plants grown in the Ballard High School greenhouse and other collected plants, such as weeds and blackberry bushes.
"It's not going to be like anything else at the flower show," said India Carlson, who teaches horticulture and botany at Ballard High School and supervised the project.
The garden is part of the Northwest Flower and Garden Show's Funky Junk program, which allows high school students and nonprofit organizations to create garden displays using recycled and found objects.
Funky Junk was started a few years ago, but this is the first year Ballard High School students have participated.
With the help of Port Townsend artist Thaddeus Jurczynski and the Artist in Residence program, Loyal Heights Elementary School students will soon be in control of an army of hellhounds, serpents, squirrels, ice giants and other figures from Norse mythology.
For this year's program, third, fourth and fifth-grade classes are working with Jurczynski to create giant puppets to be part of the annual Syttende Mai parade May 17 in Ballard. First and second-graders are creating troll masks for the parade.
To create the puppets, many of which are large enough to fit at least one student inside them, reeds and bamboo are formed into a skeleton and covered with paper mache.
After research at the Nordic Heritage Museum, students drew two-dimensional representations of their creatures and used math and science to turn them into three-dimensional models, said Lauren Molloy-Johnson, co-chair of the Artist in Residence program.
Debi Mandell, a fifth-grade teacher at Loyal Heights, said the puppet project is a way for students to put the geometry skills they are learning to use, and because it is a hands-on activity, the students remain more focused than usual.
The Three Tree Point Polar Bear Plunge brought in a new decade of brave but crazy souls who chose to swim in Puget Sound on January 1st.
They were competing for the right to display the drift wood trophy, complete with polar bear commemorating the event.
As always the event featured young and old and a mix of veterans and rookies eager to prove their immunity to cold.
Led by Andy Klietsch and the so called "King of Three Tree Point" Chris Cancro, the group of about 35 people prepared for the frigid experience on the shore and then with some brief pre-plunge instructions and a countdown, raced into the water, many choosing to splash around for some time before emerging, even colder than before.
Shawn McEvoy the Mayor of Normandy Park was a participant and called it "Invigorating!"
This years winner of the event was Carol O'Kennedy who let her dog ride on a small surfboard amid the waves. O'Kennedy stayed out longer than everyone else and yet was very humble upon getting the trophy saying, "I don't know, it's not fair, I go out there, somebody else deserves it."

Stock futures held their early gains Wednesday, boosted by positive action overseas and despite disappointing housing market data for March.
Dow futures stood a solid 84.4 points above fair market value. Nasdaq 100 futures traded up a healthy 28.7 points and S&P 500 futures were up 11 points.
The stock market today will find itself tested to see whether it builds on Tuesday's positive action, or jumps back into its recent habit of early gains fading to weak-volume losses by session's end.
Global markets received a boost from China's official Q1 GDP growth estimate of 7.4%. That was slower than the country's 7.7% gain in Q4 and the economy's weakest performance in 18 months, but just above the consensus expectation of 7.3%. Chinese regulators have targeted growth in the 7.5% vicinity for the year.
China's market posted mild gains. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 leapt 3%, given an extra boost by comments from the country's finance minister. Europe's major indexes were on positive footing at midday.
In U.S. economic news, U.S. housing starts jumped to an annualized rate of 946,000 in March. That was nearly 3% above the Commerce Department's upwardly revised 920,000 starts in February, but below consensus projections of 965,000. Building permits, a cue to future activity, decreased to an annualized pace of 990,000, down from a 1.02 million pace in February, and undercutting views for 1.01 million.
In stocks, a busy session of after-hours earnings reports Tuesday left railroad CSX (CSX) up, chip maker Intel (INTC) down a fraction before Wednesday's open.
Yahoo (YHOO) whooped up an 8% gain after a flat first-quarter earnings performance beat expectations for a one-penny decline. Display ad sales advanced 2%, surprising analysts. Alibaba, the China-based online retailer in which Yahoo holds a 24% stake, turned around two quarters of declining sales with a 66% gain.
Yahoo shares have been correcting since an early January high, and working to retake their 40-week moving average for the past two weeks.
Wednesday's early earnings action sent Abbott Labs (ABT) and PNC Financial Services (PNC) up more than 1% apiece, although the real fireworks start with a busy reporting schedule after today's close.
Dutch chip-manufacturing equipment maker ASML Holding (ASML) slumped 5% after reporting healthy first-quarter sales and earnings growth, but guiding toward only moderate growth over the next two quarters. Management cited orders weakness linked to industry "timing uncertainties in next-generation device designs."
In currencies, the yen tumbled vs. both the euro and the dollar. The euro gained against the buck. Crude oil was the focal point in commodities action, clawing up nearly 1% to just below $105 per barrel.
Industrial production and capacity numbers for March are expected from the Federal Reserve at 9:15 a.m. ET. The Fed's April beige book report is due out at 2 p.m.

Question about weather proofing lumber...
I have some 6x8 logs left over from my log home which was built recently. The log are around 16 feet long. I want to use them to build a walking bridge across a ravine on my property. They are untreated. I plan to rest the ends of the log on either side of the ravine. Since the log will rest on the ground and be exposed to the weather, I need to prepare the log in some way. Perhaps I could just put some exterior water repellent stain on the logs. I am looking for suggestions on how I can weather proof the logs.
While I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, I'd suggest building stone "cribs" to rest the log ends on, thus keeping them out of direct contact with the soil. Sealing the ends with "Anchorseal" or a similar compound would really extent the life of your logs. I'm sure that someone wiser than me will be along with a better idea. Your idea sounds cool though. I used to live in the "gully lands" of West Tennessee, and often wished for a way to level out my walks in the woods.

get them really dried out and paint them with a mixture of diesel and used motor oil and maybe a splash of roofing tar. Do this 3 or 4 times and they should last just fine. Never tried it, but its supposed to work pretty good. I doubt it does the environment any favors. Also getting the logs off the ground with some concrete footings would probably be a good idea too

England have thrown a bone to their critics by targeting "perfection" in the RBS Six Nations Championship.
Days after being accused of being 'arrogant, pretentious and condescending', the Red Rose brigade set out their stall for the spring campaign.
"We know where we are as a group, in terms of our experience and what we have to get better at," said forwards coach Graham Rowntree. "That drives us on. That (quest for) perfection."
Jim Telfer, the hammer of the English this week, would doubtless argue England are getting ahead of themselves given they have won just two of their last seven Tests.
But the last one was against New Zealand, champions of the world, and the manner of it has fuelled the belief of Team Lancaster.
Rowntree said: "We've got to back up our performances and the players have to have self-belief, but there is no way we are arrogant or complacent."
The Lions coach concedes there is an expectation outside the camp that England should be too good for the Scots, who lost their last game at home to Tonga and who last won at Twickenham in 1983.
But he warned: "This game is a potential banana skin and I am on edge. We have a performance we have to back up and we are against a team with nothing to lose.
"They are what we were a year ago. They have interim coaches, no expectancy. We are very aware of that.
"But this is the next phase in our development; dealing with the expectancy and backing up performances."
England make two changes to the side which conquered the world champions. Joe Marler replaces injured prop Alex Corbisiero, Billy Twelvetrees comes into midfield for Manu Tuilagi.
Twelvetrees - whose father actually is a tree surgeon - becomes the 18th player to be capped by head coach Stuart Lancaster in his first year in charge.
It has been quite a 12 months, with England going from zero to hero. But Lancaster wants more.
"The trick is to win consistently, even when you are the target," he said. "That is what champion teams like the All Blacks do. That is what we have to strive towards.
"We have to be one step ahead, not one step behind."

One of the men jailed for abusing Rotorua's Nia Glassie has found himself in trouble again.
Michael Paul Pearson, 26, made a brief appearance in the Rotorua District Court yesterday before Judge Chris McGuire. He pleaded guilty to one charge of disorderly behaviour relating to an incident in Rotorua's Tutanekai St and one charge of possession of a pipe used for smoking drugs. Both offences happened on December 27 last year.
Judge McGuire convicted Pearson and sentenced him to 40 hours' community work.
In 2008, Pearson was sentenced to three years' jail for ill-treating and assaulting 3-year-old Nia Glassie, who died after months of abuse by a number of people. He was released in 2010 and his parole conditions ended in January 2011.
In February last year, Pearson was sentenced to six months' jail after pleading guilty in the Rotorua District Court to a charge each of burglary, careless driving, unlawfully getting onto a motorcycle and driving while disqualified.
He also pleaded guilty to driving a motorcycle in Thomas Cres with a blood alcohol level of 200mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. The legal limit is 80mg.

It didn't matter to 18-year-old Taylor Paris that he'd broken his left foot at the Pan American Games.
When the whistle signalled the end of the rugby final between Canada and Argentina at the Pan Ams in Guadalajara, Mexico, last month, it was time to celebrate. Paris may have planted his foot wrongly, or it may have been stepped on during the second half of the seven-a-side championship game. But the pain was suspended when the clock ticked down to zero and he took to the pitch on crutches.
"I got onto the field with the rest of the gold-medal team. I didn't care if it hurt," the Barrie, Ont., winger said Tuesday. "We set a goal of a gold medal in the first time that rugby was in the Pan American Games."
Canada's Pan Am gold augurs well for the game's inaugural appearance at the Olympic Games at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016, he said. In the interim, he will push Canada's fortunes at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, and the 2015 Pan Ams on home soil. The 2015 Pan Ams will unfold in 17 Southern Ontario communities, including Toronto.
"It will be the first time Toronto's seen something like this, a massive Games," said Paris, who clomped around a news conference Tuesday in a walking cast. It will be January before he can resume training.
Ian Troop, chief executive officer of the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games Organizing Committee (TO2015), unveiled a comprehensive four-year partnership agreement with Chevrolet Canada, making Chevrolet a premier partner of Toronto 2015.
The company had previous North American Games experience at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City and the 2010 Games in Vancouver. About 1,000 vehicles, including vans, passenger vans, SUVs, trucks and extended-range electric vehicles will be used.
The Pan Ams was the second time Paris had been part of a Canadian team in a multisport gathering. The first had been at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. He learned the hard way there. Rugby is a strong sport in Commonwealth countries and Canada missed the medal round, which was dominated by New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and England.
"It's an accident of birth, but I figure I'll be the perfect age for the 2016 Olympics. Maybe the 2015 Pan Ams in Toronto will jump-start me.
"Playing the 2015 Pan Am tournament at home could add some pressure – I'm thinking about it already – but it's also an opportunity. I've been playing for the national team for two years now and my family has never seen me play."
Rugby is one of approximately 38 Pan American Games sports, Troop said. The final location for the cycling velodrome still is up in the air, he said, after the municipal government of Hamilton decided it could only be responsible for $5-million in the project. Troop said he is in discussions with two other municipalities who could make offers to be cycling hosts. "The ground rule is that Toronto 2015 will provide 56 per cent of the investment in the sport facility and the municipality 44 per cent," Troop said.
Hamilton still will have the bulk of the Pan American soccer and volleyball tournaments, he said.Report Typo/Error

Alvarez vs. Lopez: Josesito Earned Rematch with Jesse Vargas Despite KOSeptember 16, 2012
Jose Lopez was outmatched against Saul Alvarez Saturday night in their bout for the WBC light middleweight title, getting TKO'd in the fifth round. But despite not putting up a deep fight, he deserves to avenge his last loss to Jesse Vargas.
Josesito was coming off arguably the best victory of his career, a KO of Victor Ortiz where he broke the man's jaw.
That win alone left him as a dark horse for the fight against Alvarez, but the Mexican superstar and one of boxing's up-and-coming pound-for-pound leaders made sure this one was over early, putting him on the mat three times in the first four rounds before finishing the job in the fifth.
Lopez was fighting out of class, and there has to be a big level of respect for him to jump into the ring against one of the world's best boxers only to be outmatched on a high level.
His career record sits at 30-5 after the loss. One of those five losses was to Jesse Vargas, whom Lopez fought at 140 to a split-decision loss about this time last year.
That fight would put him back on track to compete and be a major player in his weight class, erase one of his career blemishes and maybe even set up a third fight between the two men later on in their respective careers.
The victory against Ortiz will outweigh this ugly loss to Alvarez, and for good reason. Instead of leaving those two fights 0-2, he made Ortiz pay with a broken jaw and set himself up in a win-win situation, no matter the outcome of the Alvarez fight.
Of course, no boxer wants to lose, and Lopez is no different. He will come back with a chip on his shoulder after being knocked out for the first time in his career.
Who better to unleash that chip against than Vargas, who will have to likely move up to 147 for a potential fight with Josesito?
Whoever Lopez draws next will be a solid matchup, strictly due to his now-higher pedigree after taking some high-profile fights. He fought for the title for a reason, and that will be on display in his next few comeback matches.

Good morning or afternoon everyone. I'm a bit slow on the uptake, because I meant to do a mini celebration of the print release of my historical romance Before The Dawn on my blog yesterday and it didn't happen. Anyhoooo…here is a snippet you may not have seen.
* *
A fallen woman must decide to stay down, or rise and fight…
Elijah McKinnon has been found innocent of a heinous murder, but it doesn't erase the hellish years in prison he endured. He boards the train to Pittsburgh a changed man, certain he will never feel free until he's wreaked revenge on the brother who ruined his life.
The passenger who catches his eye is intriguing, but he's seen her kind before. The kind who puts on airs—and looks down on Irishmen. Still, he can't seem to stop himself from stepping between her and a pack of ruthless cads.
Mary Jane Lawson is grateful for the handsome stranger's help, but her journey has a higher purpose: to rise above her shattered reputation and declare her independence, come flood or famine. Propriety says she should refuse Elijah's suggestion they pose as husband and wife—for her own protection, of course. Her practical side says it won't hurt to pretend, just this once.
Come nightfall, though, their little charade must be carried all the way to shared sleeping quarters, where their vulnerabilities become painfully clear. And when danger past and present threatens, trusting each other becomes a matter of life and death.
* *
Once more he leaned in and kissed her. Brush by brush, he painted his lips over hers in tender strokes that heated fires everywhere. He fisted his hand in her hair and drew her to his chest, his mouth now working hers with a persistent tasting. She eased away with a moan, but his lips still hovered over hers.
"That wasn't a proper kiss," he said.
"Of course it was."
"How many times have you been kissed?"
She licked her lips, and his gaze caught hold of the sight and burned like a touch. She swallowed hard. "Many times."
He frowned. "Many times? By how many men?"
"By one."
"How old?"
"To a twenty-year-old woman, it is."
"That's interesting." He kept his voice soft and non-threatening. "So, how old are you now?"
"I'm twenty-six."
"In five years I've lived a lifetime."
She had no doubt he had, in his own way. "The man was Professor Thaddeus Ricker, a lecturer at the university. He teaches Latin. He was very appealing and handsome, a scholarly man that women respected." She shuddered. "But they should not have. I should not have."
"The old man didn't kiss you properly, and because you didn't find him attractive, you didn't enjoy his kiss."
His brows knitted, and she saw sympathy and understanding there that she did not know if she wanted. Attractive? Oh, yes, she knew how she felt when Elijah stood near, when he looked at her with those hooded, searching-out-every-secret eyes. It was world's above what she had experienced with Thaddeus. Her professor, once so dear in her young heart, seemed pale imitations of manhood against Elijah's potent personality.
Before she could answer, his touch slid down to her throat and tested the pulse pounding there. "Sure, and there it is. Heat and madness."
"Your pulse is quick. The way your breath quickens and your heart picks up speed tells me you like our kisses."
"I do not want to like it." She blurted the statement with a petulance that surprised and embarrassed her.
"Whether you want to like it or not isn't the question. Did you like it?"
She knew she hovered on making a step that once taken could not be erased. "Yes. It was…pleasurable."
His eyes turned hungry, their intensity building with her answer. "How much pleasure?"
"New. Different."
He drew in a deep, shivering breath and trembled on the exhalation. "Do you want an honest kiss, Mary Jane?"
She could not voice it, so she did the one thing that would answer. She slipped her hand through thick, black hair at the back of his neck and eased towards him, brought him nearer inch by inch until…
Their lips met.

text: Had some bird droppings on my bonnet for a couple of days and some nasty seagull muck on the roof as of yesterday (visit to the coast)... after quick wash and polish there is a ghost of the marks left on the paint... it's almost a matt finish.. very noticeable. Has this removed some lacquer off my wafer thin paintwork, or is this a stain that can be removed? Tried lots of polish but it wont disappear - even tried a fine scouring pad/bug remover but to no avail. Please tell me the paint isn't knackered by leaving it a day before cleaning. It was pretty heavy duty muck - needed the sponge left on to soak(!)

Mexican films on wheels
Long before scorching-hot sex symbol Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal became the toast of Mexico City by teaming up with celebrated director Alfonso Cuaron for 2001's Y Tu Mamá También, there was Pedro and Ismael. As in the beloved actor/singer/icon Pedro Infante and director Ismael Rodriguez, with some 40 films to his name. And while Cuaron's film is certainly worthy of critical acclaim, it's Infante's versatility and charm as an actor, and Rodriguez's accessible characters and story lines, that made comedies such as 1951's A Toda Maquina such audience favorites. That film and Los Tres Garcia, El Seminarista, and Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes, all from the golden age of Mexican cinema, will be screened as part of the Hispanic Film Heritage Tour in the Homestead area at various supermarket parking lots.

Culinary Commemoration
The late food writer Julia Child ate at Norman's when she visited Miami in 1997. For tonight's American Institute of Wine and Food "Tribute to Julia Child," chef Norman Van Aken has planned a menu that ensures the high-spirited gourmand's return to his eatery, at least in spirit. Priced at $85 for members or $95 for guests, the five-course meal will feature creations like Child's 85th birthday cake, and Lobster a l'Americaine with a One Sided Potato Pancake. The latter dish celebrates the classic moment on her Seventies TV show when Child calmly re-plated a latke she'd accidentally dropped -- and instructed viewers that no one sees what a chef does alone in her kitchen. Enjoy some of Julia's favorites tonight at 7:00, at Norman's, 21 Almeria St., Coral Gables. Call 954-962-6772, or visit www.aiwf.org.--Pamela Robin Brandt
