Judges should become more sensitive to women's problems: SC
Amid the growing clamour for gender justice, the Supreme Court on Thursday said it was time that judges changed their mindset and became sensitive to women's problems, Bhadra Sinha reports.delhi Updated: Jan 04, 2013 02:04 IST
Amid the growing clamour for gender justice, the Supreme Court on Thursday said it was time that judges changed their mindset and became sensitive to women's problems.
Coming down heavily on a Karnataka trial court in Karnataka for justifying a husband's physical assault on his wife despite the latter committing suicide, a bench comprising justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai observed: "There is a phenomenal rise in crimes against women. Protection granted to women by the Constitution of India and other laws can be meaningful only if those who are entrusted with the job of doing justice are sensitised towards women's problems."Justice Desai, who authored the verdict convicting the husband for driving his wife to suicide by raising dowry demands, criticised the trial court judge for being insensitive. The Karnataka High Court had later reversed the verdict and convicted the husband.
"The tenor of the judgment suggests that wife-beating is a normal facet of married life. Does that mean giving one or two slaps to a wife by a husband does not matter? We do not think that can be a right approach," the court said.
It further added: "It is one thing to say that every wear and tear of married life need not lead to suicide but it is another thing to put it so crudely and suggest that one or two assaults on a woman is an accepted social norm. Judges have to be sensitive to women's problems."
The fast track court at Karwar, Karnataka, had on March 3, 2007 acquitted Vairesh Venkatray Anvekar and his
family members of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide. The state high court, however, convicted Vairesh's while reiterating the acquittal of others.
The apex court rejected Vairesh's appeal and agreed with the high court's decision. It said that assault on a woman offended her dignity and to make light of slaps given to the wife, resulting in loss of her eyesight, showed extreme insensitivity on the trial court's part.

Issue with a Richdel 476pri lawn sprinler controller.
A few days ago my sprinklers weren't going off. I notice the display on the controller was flickering "1 FUS". According to the manual this indicates a bad solenoid or a wire short.
For some reason I decided to replace the 9v battery that keeps time & settings in case of power outage. When I took off the old (dead) battery the controller went blank & the well pump fired up (it controls the pump as well).
So I replaced the battery and everything worked fine for 2 days then the display started flickering again. Dead battery again. If I replace the battery everything works well until the battery dies.
Now what I am doing is connecting the battery so that the cycle processes then after it's done I unplug the battery so it doesn't kill it.
All zones are working so the solenoids are good. The transformer is also putting out power.
So can anyone tell me what is killing the battery and why is the battery (which is only supposed to keep time) is the central link here?
Any help would be appreciated.

- "When someone you love is mean to you, the knee-jerk reaction to the threat is to strike back in self-defense. Unfortunately, doing so perpetuates the vicious cycle of mistrust, anger, and loneliness. When the empathetic response is unplugged at a neural level on both sides disconnection occurs. This is tragic because human connection matters more than anything in our lives. Luckily, through loving-kindness meditation and compassion training you can break this cycle. Empathy can be learned and fortified with mindfulness training." http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the ... map=%5B%5D

Director of Communications
As the director of communications and someone who has a direct hand in the creation of content for Messiah College, I have the distinct pleasure of seeing the amazing things the College's students, faculty and alumni are doing on a daily basis.
Since graduating from Messiah College in 2006, the way we communicate and tell stories has certainly changed. What was once a discussion about newspaper and radio has now transformed into a discussion about robust content used across a variety of mediums—and those mediums are constantly changing. It is exciting to see each day bring something new and exciting—a perk of being in the communications field in a digital age!
Danielle graduated from Messiah College with a B.S. in marketing. Prior to starting her position at Messiah, she worked at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center as a marketing communications specialist. Danielle married a Messiah alum, Seth '05, and they have two children, Carter and Addison. In her free time, she enjoys photography, baking, traveling and spending time with her family.

Ethical dilemma
However, the circumstances in this case were unusual. The man shot humself on someone else's property, and outdoors; he also used a small caliber handgun, and he wasn't dead when emergency personnel arrived. He was taken by helicopter air ambulance to a hospital in Texarkana.
Needless to say, in a small community, the law enforcement response and the helicopter ambulance attracted a lot of attention, so everyone knew something had happened. I had two people ask me what happened before I made it to the phone and called the Sheriff's Department first thing Tuesday morning.
Circumstances being what they were, I felt there was no way I couldm't write the story up; rumors would have been a lot worse than the truth. I put it on the bottom of the front page, and the one concession I made to sensibilities was that I never used the word "suicide" - although everyone knows what a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" means.
Later in the morning, I was getting phone calls from people who couldn't wait for the paper to come out. One lady called and asked me for some information, which I told her. Before she hung up she said she called us because she knew we are an "honest paper".
That kinda made me feel good.

Tops in Community Service
Because of deadline issues, I wasn't able to attend the luncheon (it was over 300 miles away). I found out when they posted the winners on-line this afternoon.
In the 20 years I have been a newspaper editor in Texas, this is the first time I've ever taken a first place. The closest I ever came before was a second place in General Excellence in 1989.
The Pentagon wanted to close the Red River Army Depot last year as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process last year. That would have ripped the guts out of this county, and we fought it tooth and toenail.
Here's what the judges said about our effort:
"This newspaper committed resources from every department to keep the community's spirits up. Its multifaceted approach not only kept the community informed in each issue, but led the battle to get its readers to do something about the problem. And then the newspaper gave the credit to someone else for the success of the battle."
This is the nicest news I've had in a long time. I only became a published s-f author three years ago (my first story, "Silvern", was published in Revolution SF in June 2003), but I've been writing for newspapers for 30 years.

"The Three Year Rule"
Philip Hamm, a writer from the U.K., sent in another tale June 6, and I've also published it: "The Three Year Rule". I liked the fact it's almost all dialogue (I'm kinda partial to that - of course, "Rocket" was a monolgue) and the premise behind the story is interesting. It's almost an Orwellian dark fantasy.
Please read it when you have the opportunity:
There is a place at the bottom of the page to log your opinion.
Interestingly enough, both stories came in at 1,700 words.

Book Haul
Amomg the books I was happiest to see (which I didn't already have) was the first edition of "Dangerous Visions", the "Wandering Stars" anthology, and the Galaxy 30th anniversary anthology. There were also some Omni magazines from the 1980s and copies of F&SF and Aboriginal S-F from the '90s.
This fellow even had a paperback copy of James P. Hogan's
"Inherit the Star". I have a copy I bought in 1984 - it's actually the "oldest" book I have in my personal library (in the sense that I actually bought it for myself - when I was a teenager I always read books from the city and school library).
If you had told me in 1984 that 22 years later James P. Hogan and I would both be guests at the same convention. I would have been stunned - yet that's exactly the case with Conestoga in Tulsa next month.
I was already planning to bring my old copy of "Stars" for Hogan to autograph - but now I'll bring the other fellow's copy. And N.B. He was more on the ball than I was. The edition he bought came out in 1981, so he was three years ahead of me.
I found out later that, sadly, the man who assembled the collection commited suicide. This was before I moved here, and I don't know the details - and really, I don't think anyone else does, either. It's a shame - without sounding maudlin, suicide is such a sad and final thing. I'm glad I have the opportunity to keep the collection mostly intact - although its impossible for me to put all the books up in one place. In addition to those in my office at home, I now have boxes in a storage building behind the house. I also have boxes of non s-f books in a cabin we own near Cedar Creek Lake.
If Patricia and I retire to that cabin in 20 years or so, it may just become one big library.

Third Anniversary
I've never had anything published by WoW, but it looks like a nice ezine. "Runner" has been bouncing around for a while; I'm glad to find it a home.
It occurred to me (also this weekend) that this is the third anniversary since I was first published. "Silvern" was published by Revolution SF in June 2003. It seems so long ago. When it's online, "Runner" will be my 25th published story.
The second story I submitted to RevSF, "Silence is Golden" was published in August, and it was the first story that got me an HM in the YBSF. I've had a total of five stories published in RevSF, and gotten three HMs. There is an accepted story sitting over there now.
Since I have been published in so many places, I have been consciously submitting to new venues, which how I came to send a story to WoW. If I counted correctly. I've been published in 11 different places; WoW would be the 12th.
Still haven't cracked a major mag like Asimov's again, though. Just last week I got two rejections from two solid magazines which both said they enjoyed the story, it just didn't rise to the level where it made the cut.
Those rejections are probably the most frustrating of all.

Latest Story
The collaboration between Ed Morris and yours truly is moving along. The story may be ready to go out soon. In this case, it's quite a piece of s-f with almost a retro pulps feel by the end.
Got word from Lawrence Person that the next Turkey City will be Sept. 30. The guest author will be Jeff Vandermeer. The date apparently was picked because it will fall essentially between Armadillocon and the World Fantasy Con.

"It's possible that you haven't run into the stories of Lou Antonelli. Since 2003, he's been publishing delightful short tales of alternate history all over the nooks and crannies of the SF world. Thanks to Fantastic Books, we now have 28 of these little gems in one place. "Many of Antonelli's stories have an unexpected twist ending. And many of them are what he calls "secret history" stories, which aren't exactly alternate history—they're set in our familiar history, but there's always some element that contemporary observers missed. " -
- Don Sakers, The Reference Library, Analog July-Aug. 2014
A better path develops for a distraught man in "Double Exposure" by Lou Antonelli (debut 6/11 and reviewed by Frank D). Jake is about to end it all. He has been trying to keep his high maintenance wife happy for decades and has needed to embezzle to satisfy her spending habits. Now, on the verge of indictment and abandoned by his spouse, he buys a gun. Before he pulls the trigger, he spies a Kodak one-day photo hut. Curious, he pulls up to the window. They are holding pictures of him and his last girlfriend from 30 years before. The package is a lot thicker than it should be. Double Exposure" is listed as an Alternative History story but I would classify it as a Magical Realism tale. It is set as a second chance tale, a look into a life that should have been. The author is inspired by his memories of the old photo huts (I remember them) and of their disappearance. A cool idea (photos of another life), one that I could imagine would make for a great anthology.
- Frank Dutkiewicz, Diabolical Plots
"Great White Ship": A traveler stuck waiting for a flight strikes up a conversation with an old airline employee. The Old Timer tells him a story of a Great White Airship that arrives from a most unusual destination. The story of a craft from an alternate reality and how it got there is only the precursor to the final act. This is one of my favorite stories from this site. I have a great passion for lighter-than-air craft and their potential as a future means of transport, which opens the story. The author uses this speculation to launch into an engaging tale. As fascinating as the main story line is, the alternate history premise that accompanies it is just as worthwhile. This story was well written and very well thought out. It is well worth the read. Recommended.

A window into health in California.

Reporter: Julie Small
Governor Jerry Brown's administration is keen to end federal oversight of the state's prisons, but that entails convincing federal judges it's time to let go.
In the case involving more than 32,000 inmates with mental health issues, however, that's looking less likely to happen soon. At the court hearing in Sacramento on Wednesday, the judge issued a stern rebuke to California's legal team over possible ethical violations.

Ed Miliband's speech on immigration today accentuates the positive. He emphasises that he is proud of "multi-ethnic, diverse Britain" and says "we are stronger for it. It gives us access to new ideas, new perspectives, new energies.
"And of course he is right. London in particular has benefited from the influx of people from abroad who come here to work and to contribute to society. Indeed, we need to attract more of some groups: investors and entrepreneurs, particularly from China, highly skilled high-income workers and the brightest students.
But Mr Miliband also acknowledges the "realities of segregation". He wants to make some public jobs open only to those with good English, an obviously sensible idea.
He is not, however, being entirely open about Labour's record in office. Integration is easier when there are manageable numbers arriving. But in the decade to 2010, 3.8 million people born outside the UK came here, of whom the biggest groups were from India, Poland and Pakistan. It is hard fully to integrate nearly four million people — half the total number from abroad — in a decade.
Labour's abolition of effective border controls for entrants to the UK from outside the EU was a policy that was not properly thought through in terms of its impact on public services, from housing to transport. During the same period, Poland and other East European countries joined the EU; the Labour government was right to allow them to come here after joining — other EU states did not. But it could have tightened numbers from elsewhere.
Mr Miliband says he will consider supporting the Government's cap on non-EU immigration but that controlling numbers will not itself meet concerns about immigration. True, but it addresses the cause of concern: the scale of immigration and want of planning for it.
This paper is in favour of encouraging the brightest and best people to come here; as a global capital we need to recruit the very best and most entrepreneurial talent. We have successfully campaigned for the visa regime for Chinese arrivals to be easier. London has, in fact, made a remarkable success of integrating the huge numbers who have come here, and the buoyant London economy owes much to the creativity and work ethic of immigrants. But a sensible immigration policy and a competent border agency is in the interests of immigrants, as well as everyone else.
Mr Clegg on drugs
Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, is perfectly within his rights to call for a Royal Commission on drugs to examine whether Britain should relax drugs laws as others have done. Portugal has depenalised all drugs and some US states have legalised cannabis. He wants to break "the conspiracy of silence" on an issue politicians consider "too controversial".
The Prime Minister has already rejected the idea. And Mr Clegg should bear public opinion in mind here. There is a reason why most people, particularly parents, are wary of decriminalisation even of cannabis. The drug has been shown to have damaging effects on people with some mental illness, notably schizophrenia; the idea that it is essentially harmless is no longer sustainable given the nature of modern drugs. Further, decriminalisation would lead to increased consumption. We have our work cut out as a society dealing with the so-called legal highs; let's not dismiss real concerns about drugs as mere prejudice.

As China Slows, Australia Feels the Pain
The last time Australia was mired in recession, Boris Yeltsin had yet to stand on a tank in Moscow, and the Clinton era hadn't begun. In 1991, Australian trade with China was a modest A$3.6 billion (about the same in U.S. dollars). In the preceding decade unemployment had averaged 7.8 percent, as Australia struggled to develop tourism and other services to diversify growth.
The urbanization of hundreds of millions of people in China changed that: Demand in the world's most populous nation for Australian iron ore and coal spurred a more than 33-fold increase in trade between the two countries to a recent A$121 billion. The Australian jobless rate is down to 5.1 percent.
This prosperity is now threatened. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in March reduced his government's growth target to 7.5 percent for this year, the lowest since 2004, as policymakers seek to reduce the role of large-scale investments in favor of stimulating greater consumer demand. On Sept. 9, President Hu Jintao told an Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Vladivostok, Russia, that China's "economic growth is facing notable downward pressure" due to a slowdown in exports. The price of iron ore, Australia's most lucrative export, has tumbled 25 percent since June 30.
Saul Eslake, chief economist at Bank of America's Merrill Lynch division in Melbourne, says that while he expects China to keep growing, a severe downturn—growth of under 6 percent for a year or more—would hurt. "If China were to have a hard landing, then Australia would arguably be more exposed than any other country in the Western world," says Eslake. China buys about 28 percent of Australian exports directly and "indirectly sets the price that countries that take another 30 percent or so of our exports pay."
BHP Billiton's decision last month to delay an estimated $33 billion expansion of the Olympic Dam mine in South Australia has sparked suggestions that the resources boom is over. On Sept. 4, Fortescue Metals Group, Australia's biggest iron ore producer after Rio Tinto and BHP, cut its full-year capital spending forecast by 26 percent, to $4.6 billion. The shelved mining projects are a blow to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who has called mining "our economy's strong right arm." Already, falling prices for iron ore and coking coal have eroded the nation's terms of trade, a measure of the windfall gains from exports that reached a 140-year high last year.
"If you looked three months ago at commodity forecasts, nobody picked this," says Mike Young, managing director of BC Iron, which is developing an iron ore project with Fortescue. "I call it a perfect storm. You've got the leadership change going on over in China—decisions are on hold. You've got elections in America. Europe? Still Europe. You've got mills de-stocking because of the slowdown in China."
Amplifying these woes is the strength of the Australian dollar. Historically, the currency has lost value quickly in a downturn, which restored competitiveness in fairly short order. Yet the Aussie dollar is up for the year even as Australia's No. 1 customer, China, sees a deepening slowdown. "The Australian dollar is behaving more like a fixed exchange rate," says George Tharenou, an economist for UBS in Sydney. The currency looks better than most alternatives. Its 10-year government bonds yield more than 3 percent, compared with well under 2 percent for 10-year bonds in the U.S., Germany, and Britain. Investors fleeing the euro have piled into Australian bonds. Even Switzerland's central bank is buying Australian dollars. As further quantitative easing looks likely in the U.S. and the euro zone, the result will be even lower interest rates in those areas. That would accelerate the flight to the Australian dollar, further hobbling competitiveness.
Brian Redican, a senior economist in Sydney at Macquarie Group, an investment bank, still predicts the currency will respond in traditional fashion should the fall in iron-ore prices prove long lasting. For now, he says, investors expect iron-ore prices to recover along with China. If that prediction is wrong, there will be what he calls a "Wile E. Coyote moment" for the Australian dollar: The coyote gets tricked by the Road Runner into running straight off a cliff. "Initially at least, he doesn't fall," Redican says. "But then he looks down and realizes that there is nothing supporting him."
Intensifying the pressure is the government's pledge to post its first budget surplus in five years. That will require spending cuts that in the short term will be a drag on growth, leaving the central bank as the last option to stimulate the economy. Yet Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens has held the benchmark interest rate at 3.5 percent, the highest level among major developed nations. He wants to keep inflation contained and make sure no spike occurs in already high home prices. Seven of the world's 25 most expensive cities are in Australia, according to ECA International's Cost of Living Survey.
The deceleration of the mining industry heightens concern in a nation where consumers are heavily in debt. Consumer borrowing stood at 150 percent of disposable income in the first quarter, says the central bank. That's higher than the 133 percent Americans accumulated at the peak of the subprime mortgage boom, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
The median forecast for Australian growth is 3.6 percent this year. No one is predicting recession, but no one predicted the plunge in iron-ore prices, either. The windfall Australia gets from exports will slump 15 percent in the final three months of 2012 from a year ago, according to Adam Boyton, chief economist in Sydney at Deutsche Bank. A trade drop of that size has preceded a recession three of the five times it happened in the past half century.


text: i personally have no clue. but, i want to know when you find out. i can just see it know. you should call and ask. i'm pretty sure it'll go like this."um yeah i'd like to purchase 48 p99's please. and 50,ooo rounds for them. hello?.....hellloooo? i think he hung up" good luck and tell us how it goes. you are going to have 48 people purchase them individually right? not just one. second i'm not sure there is a lot of markup on firearms. some sporting good stores choose not to sell the actual firearms because they say theres no money in them, but they will sell ammunition. so don't be too dissappointed if you don't get a really big discount.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:38pm
Former Team USA member and hall of famer, Mark Millon, goes over two more of his instructional tips, Dodge Off a Pass and Off Ball Play, from his DVD, "The Ultimate Guide for Youth Lacrosse."
The two-disk set is the first ever lacrosse instructional DVD for all positions. Along with Millon's instructionals for midfield and attack play, MLL star Nicky Polanco provides all you need to be a top defenseman, and former Cortland goalie George Breres offers tons of information on goalie play.
Dodge Off a Pass: This dodge comes when you are close to the goal and receive a pass in tight with a defenseman near. There are two types of dodges you can pull of:
1- Fake Shot & Pull Under
When defenseman attacks your upfield shoulder, show your stick then tuck under and head to the cage.
2- Fake Shot and Sweep
When defenseman attacks your inside shoulder throw your shoulders like you are going to drive under then head upfield for a quick shot.
It's important that when you throw a fake in tight, fake with your shoulders and not your stick. This way your stick is always in a shooting position and you don't have to recoil and give the goalie or defenseman time to recover.
Off Ball Play: One of many key tips to off ball play is watching your defenseman and waiting for him to turn his head to find the ball. All defenseman are taught to look at their man and look at the ball, a smart offensive player waits for when his defenseman turns his head then he cuts backdoor to the goal.
A helpful tip in pulling this off is to make sure you and your teammate who has the ball are on the same page. Lock eyes with your teammate so he can deliver the pass in time before the slide comes.

Prominent Republican Leaders Cross Party Lines to Back Dean for President
MANCHESTER-The Dean for America
campaign today announced the formation of the Republicans for Dean Committee,
and unveiled the Steering Committee of more than 40 New Hampshire
Republicans who have decided to back Governor
Howard Dean in his bid for the presidency.
"I am gratified to have the support of so many Republicans," said Governor Dean. "It's clear that President Bush has been taking our country in the wrong direction and destroying our sense of American community. Together, we will stand up and win next November. President Bush's policies have been bad for all Americans-Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike."
"I am a life-long Republican, and I am happy to endorse the candidacy of Governor Howard Dean for President of the United States," said Hilary Cleveland. "I have been disappointed in the Bush Administration's policies in Iraq, and Governor Dean has best articulated why we should not have gone to war in Iraq. I like his emphasis on the importance of internationalism and his fiscal program."
She added, "I will switch my registration to Independent in order to vote for Governor Howard Dean on January 27th." Mrs. Cleveland served as the New London, New Hampshire co-chair for George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, was the New Hampshire finance chair for President George H.W. Bush's 1980 campaign, attended three Republican National Conventions, and was married to former New Hampshire U.S. Congressman Republican James C. Cleveland.
"I have been a Republican all of my life, but recently became an Independent because of George Bush," Juliana Maglathlin of Manchester said. "Governor Dean is running a highly inclusive campaign. He is bringing hope to many people who were not involved before, and that is great for the democratic process."
Committee members have either
recently changed their voter registration to Independent or Democrat or
pledged to do so before the October 31 deadline so they can cast a ballot
for Governor Dean in the January 27 primary.
Other Republicans for Dean Committee members include:
Carol A. Wight
Diane L. Bingham (Atkinson)
Dr. David C. Charlesworth (Bedford)
Michael A. Sills (Bedford)
Patsy A. Petit (Bedford)
Roger Cawley (Bennington)

Candlelight vigil held for Terry Smith Jr. in Menifee
MENIFEE, Cali. - An absolute outpouring from the community of Menifee on Wednesday as the town is turned out for Terry Smith Jr. Over 1000 people volunteered to help look for the boy and even more showed up to pay their respects as Menifee begins to grieve.
A wave of shock and sadness swept through Menifee wednesday as hopes of finding eleven year old terry smith alive disappeared, when it was announced that remains resembling the boy had been found.
Menifee resident Jeremy Hayden told us, "Everyone was thinking we're going to find him and that totally just changed it, disappointed everybody, terrible."
For some, grief turned to anger as news spread about the discovery.
Victor Guerrero and his family spent much of the last several days looking for Terry. He tells us "i'm more angry then I am upset and I'm sure that I'll probably be more sad as the days go by. Just right now I'm too angry over what's happened."
Many who showed up to pay their respects never even knew terry. People of all ages brought flowers and candles, and prayers were recited as balloons were releases by a community that came together for Terry, also known as "Ju Ju."
One volunteer spoke as the vigil began, saying he had never seen the community of Menifee turn out like it did, and now with the hope and love shown for Terry, the community can continue on.
Menifee now looks to heal from several extremely difficult days but will always remember how Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. brought them all together.

For a third time, SeaTac lawmakers extended July 24 a six-month moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens.
City Attorney Mary Mirante Bartolo said the city's dilemma is that the state recognizes medical marijuana and regulates it but federal law doesn't allow it.
Further complicating the issue is a statewide measure to legalize marijuana on the November ballot, City Manager Todd Cutts noted.
This time around, SeaTac council members approved a work plan with the moratorium. Staffers will analyze marijuana dispensary zoning in other cities and research state law and legal cases. The staff will present their findings to the council.
"Eventually, we will have to make a decision," senior planner Al Torrico observed.
Lawmakers also added to the final docket of the city's comprehensive plan amendments two zoning changes. The Planning Commission recommended moving forward on the amendments while planning staff opposed their addition.
The City Council is expected to make a final decision on the two amendments on Nov. 27 following a public hearing and open house on Oct. 16.

Press release:
Contaminated groundwater and soil under and near a SeaTac property will undergo cleanup with a combination of below-ground air injection, vapor removal, and natural bacterial action, under a proposed legal agreement submitted for public comment by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the site's current and former owners.
The proposed agreement, called a consent decree, incorporates a cleanup action plan that underwent public review and comment in 2011.
The parcel – owned by Sea-Tac Investments LLC, ANSCO Properties, LLC, and Scarsella Bros. Inc., -- is located at 16025-16223 International Blvd. The site has no connection with the nearby Sea-Tac Airport.
The property has had various occupants and businesses, including a construction yard and tenants who installed underground fuel tanks.
Sampling studies show that contaminants related to gasoline affect ground water under the property's north end and a surrounding area. A cleanup of contaminated soil occurred in 2001, and pavement on the site prevents people from coming into contact with soil and vapors from the contaminated underground water and soil.
Press release:

Now that we've been back from the holidays for a month, I'd like to round out the 2013 predictions season with a look at the year ahead in server virtualization. If you're like me (or this New York Times columnist), you'll agree that a little procrastination can sometimes be a good thing to help collect and organize your plans for the year ahead. (Did you buy that rationalization?)
We're now more than a decade into the era of widespread x86 server virtualization. Hypervisors are certainly a mature (if not peaceful) technology category, and the consolidation benefits of virtualization are now uncontestable. 77% of you will be using virtualization by the end of this year, and you're running as many as 6 out of 10 workloads in virtual machines. With such strong penetration, what's left? In our view: plenty. It's time to ask your virtual infrastructure, "What have you done for me lately?"
With that question in mind, I asked my colleagues on the I&O team to help me predict what the year ahead will hold. Here are the trends in 2013 you should track closely:

One of the many hilarious scenes in Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the "Bridge of Death" sequence. This week's news that Dell plans to acquire Quest Software makes one think of a slight twist to this scene:
Bridgekeeper: "What ... is your name?"
Traveler: "John Swainson of Dell."
Bridgekeeper: "What ... is your quest?"
Traveler: "Hey! That's not a bad idea!"
We suspect Dell's process was more methodical than that!
This acquisition was not a surprise, of course. All along, it has been obvious that Dell needed stronger assets in software as it continues on its quest to avoid the Gorge of Eternal Peril that is spanned by the Bridge of Death. When the company announced that John Swainson was joining to lead the newly formed software group, astute industry watchers knew the next steps would include an ambitious acquisition. We predicted such an acquisition would be one of Swainson's first moves, and after only four months on the job, indeed it was.

No More Homebrew
Sony's 2.0 PSP firmware update is coming to the U.S. August 12, but will gamers want to update? The update includes many sought-after features including a full-featured web browser, but it closes up the security holes that allowed homebrew PSP applications to run off of memory sticks.
Sony announced recently that the PSP 2.0 firmware update would be made available to US PSP owners beginning on August 12. The update, previously released in Japan on July 27, adds significant functionality to the unit (including a full-featured web browser) while closing up security holes that allowed the PSP to run unsupported programs, much to the ire of those in the emulation and homebrew enthusiast scenes.
Sony recently warned that the Japanese BIOS update was not intended for American PSPs, and that those with US units who did update their hardware prematurely were in fact voiding their warranty by doing so. On the other side of the Atlantic, SCEE announced that every PSP will come packaged with the 2.0 firmware when the system launches September 1.
Sony has maintained from the system's initial unveiling that the PSP would serve as a true multimedia device, serving as a viable piece of hardware for consuming music, movies, and pictures, in addition to playing games. The US launch including Sony Picture's Spiderman 2 on UMD reinforced this stance. Unfortunately, converting video to a PSP-recognizable format, then getting that video onto a memory stick, proved less than intuitive. The PSP's limited picture and music file type recognition further hampered the system's adoption as a portable multimedia hub.
The 2.0 update goes a long way to rectify the initially unwieldy functionality, and brings the PSP a large step closer to being a viable cross-medium device. PSP owners can now use any image they like as their system wallpaper, instead of cycling through monthly colors. Images stored on memory sticks can also now be transferred wirelessly from one PSP to another. WPA wireless security support is included in the update as well, for those who require more robust wireless protection.
Several more audio/video formats are also supported by the update. TIFF, GIF, PNG, and BMP images are now recognized. AAC music file functionality has been included as well, for those PSP owners who have converted their music collection with iTunes. Lastly, MP4 (AVC) video files can now be played back on PSPs.
The browser represents a significant increase in the consumer value of the PSP, and brings the system one step closer to being a one-stop media consumption device.
Sony Taketh Away
The 2.0 update also closes virtually all of the security holes that PSP hackers had discovered since the system's launch. Some of the more dangerous exploits discovered allowed pirates to run ripped copies of retail PSP games, including Lumines, Mercury, and Coded Arms.
PSP Emulation also sprang up, with PSP-compatible NES, SNES, and GameBoy emulators hitting the scene with almost shocking rapidity. The sudden "back library" of 1000s of ROMs was not the type of increased functionality Sony had intended for their portable system. There are also more harmless PSP homebrew projects, most of which attempt to get anything and everything running on the system, including Linux, just to prove it can be done.
The question for PSP homebrew enthusiasts on August 12 will be whether Sony's official additions of a web browser and increased file type support outweigh the applications being developed for the system without Sony's consent. Future PSP games will require the 2.0 update to run however, thereby forcing the hackers' hand.

I am 14 and would like to read more fantasy novels. I have read all the Narnia and Harry Potter books and enjoyed them, so where should I go next?
Wonderful fantasy writers abound building on a great tradition stretching back to Lewis Carroll's Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. You could start with Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, Patrick Ness's Chaos Walking trilogy or Philip Reeve's A Darkling Plain, all of which have been garlanded with prizes including the Guardian Children's book award. Or, going back to well-loved modern classics you could try The Changeover, The Tricksters or Alchemy all by Margaret Mahy who has a rare ability to slip her characters seamlessly between the real world and somewhere other. Or Peter Dickinson's The Ropemaker and its sequel Angel Isle which take readers to an unknown place and time rich in its own mythology and culture.

The organisation is calling for applicants for backstage talent as well as the actors of the future.
Matt Lucas, the actor and creator of Little Britain, encouraged applicants to come forward.
"The National Youth Theatre greatly contributed to my own love of acting. It gave me heaps of confidence and a belief in myself and my abilities," he said.
"It's just brilliant that this innovative organisation exists and so many young people involved will get to enjoy the long-term benefits."
Anyone between the ages of 13 and 21 is invited to apply as an actor. Courses in costume, lighting and sound, scenery, prop-making and stage management are open to those aged 16 to 21.
Everyone who applies will be seen in the first round regardless of whether they have had previous experience. Acting applicants take part in informal workshop-based auditions and technical candidates have an informal interview where they can show any previous work if they want to.
Auditions and interviews will be held all over the UK and those who succeed get to take part in summer holiday workshops which usually culminate in a show. They can also audition for further performances.
Stars who have taken part in the past include Lucas's comedy partner David Walliams, Catherine Tate, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jamie Theakston, Orlando Bloom, Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley and Rosamund Pike. Not everyone in its 53-year history goes on to act. Journalists Krishnan Guru Murthy and Kate Adie and pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor were also members.
Last year's season saw the NYT visit China to sing the national anthem in the Olympic closing ceremony in Beijing. This year, members took part in ceremonies at football's Fifa Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.

First line: "The Thames is a filthy beast: it winds through London like a snake, or a sea serpent."
There are many wonderful Neil Gaiman stories to choose from, and I'm sure he's someone I'll feature with some regularity here. This, I think, is one of his newest, a darkly evocative little tale of woe from The Guardian's water stories feature. Perfect reading for a rainy day.
You can find "Down to a Sunless Sea" here.

At the end of the Boulevard you will find a few theaters and one of them was showing the Super Blond movie.

About The Right Choice for Kids
Right Choice for Kids was originally created by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to inform families about the importance of high-quality early childhood education programs for young children. However, they've let their domain expire in October 2012, so we took over the domain and are currently in the process of setting up something new, with the needs of young children in mind.
Since 1985, NAEYC has offered a national, voluntary accreditation system that helps early childhood programs meet high professional standards and helps families identify high-quality programs. Today, NAEYC Accreditation represents the mark of quality in early childhood education. Over 7,000 child care programs, preschools, early learning centers, and other center- or school-based early childhood education programs are currently NAEYC-Accredited.
NAEYC-Accredited programs must meet NAEYC's 10 standards for high-quality early childhood education:
- Standard 1: Relationships
- Standard 2: Curriculum
- Standard 3: Teaching
- Standard 4: Assessment of Child Progress
- Standard 5: Health
- Standard 6: Teachers
- Standard 7: Families
- Standard 8: Community Relationships
- Standard 9: Physical Environment
- Standard 10: Leadership and Management
View the brochure, a Guide for Families to learn what to look for when choosing an early childhood education program.
For more detailed information about the NAEYC standards and NAEYC Accreditation, visit the Standards and Criteria page on the NAEYC website.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children is dedicated to improving the well-being of all young children, with particular focus on the quality of education and developmental services for all children from birth through age 8.
Founded in 1926, NAEYC is the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children. NAEYC has nearly 90,000 members, a national network of over 300 local, state, and regional Affiliates, and a growing global alliance of like-minded organizations.

- Sock Assist with loop handle Sock Assist with loop handle+-
Unique features make this the most extraordinary sock aid on the market. The easy-to-use Sock-Assist lays flat on the floor, accommodates feet and calves of all sizes, has a nonstick surface and pulls the sock up the calf instead of releasing it at the ankle. Its innovative design allows easy donning of socks or knee-high nylons using one or two hands. Also works with elastic compression knee high socks or stockings. It's the unusual-looking features that make this sock aid so effective:
• Two side wings keep the sock on the Sock-Assist until it is released on the calf.
• Centre tongue helps ease the sock onto the device.
• Flexible polypropylene "gives" to accommodate socks.
• Flat bottom surface prevents the Sock-Assist from rolling.
• Wide foot bed accommodates average to wide feet.
• Contoured side walls help hold the sock on the device.
• Rear flares prevent the cord from rubbing against the skin.
• Textured surface prevent skin from sticking to the sock aid.
• Cord handle can be cut or looped to adjust length.

In Five to Follow, a week-long web series, our columnists and other notable Twitter users pick five of their favourite tweeters. Below, author William Gibson. Follow him on Twitter here.
William Gibson is arguably one of the most influential writers in science-fiction in the last 25 years. His 1984 novel
is widely considered one of the foundational works of the cyberpunk genre and Gibson himself is credited with coining the term cyberspace. In the novels that followed Neuromancer, Gibson would explore our relationship with information systems and technologies that grew more pervasive. It's no surprise then that Gibson has taken quite strongly to Twitter — he joined in April, 2009. He praised the social network as a more customizable, personal experience. "Twitter actually feels like the street. You can bump into anybody on Twitter,"
he told New York Magazine in 2010

So come on, who's excited about the new sewing patterns for workouts ( for me read running ) from our very own Melissa of Fehr Trade who also writes a most inspiring & informative running blog, River Runner? And if I use the word 'proud' it's because I can't think of a better one to use, but it's not quite right to describe how AWESOME it feels that one of my blogging gurus has taken her eye for style and her sewing skills in general but particularly being the goddess of working with knits, pattern drafting and design to follow a new path, becoming an inde sewing pattern designer.!!! And for sportswear no less!! (Sorry that was rather a long gush, take a breath !) Three cheers !!
As this make was such new territory for me, I make no apologies for the number of photos so that you can get an idea of the technical gymnastics that must have been involved in designing this. More awe.
Anyway, when I was asked to be a pattern tester of course I said yes. But my attempts were not without challenge, but part of the testing process. Anyway. What you need to know is that after a few test tops, I have an 'x' back XYT top to show you ready for Jungle January, because people, I've fallen for leopard print Lycra!! Meeeoooow!
Oh I love it!! The back is divine. The shape of the top all round is flattering and comfortable. And I am in love with the powermesh lining which means that I never ever have to buy another sports bra.
I'm thrilled. Yep, it's been road tested a few times now and even in the longer runs I'm jiggle free. ( not much to jiggle mind you!) And in this current winter weather, whilst I haven't been able to show it to the world it's the perfect base layer under a long sleeved top. And then just a few more degrees & it can be released, my inner cheetah, gliding atop of my running shoes. (Yeah, right! More like a cheetah with all four legs in plaster 😉 )
So onto The XYT top pattern. It is called XYT because there are three variations in the back: 'x' style, 'Y' back and a slinky 'T' back. Exciting, no?
The top can be made with the powermesh (or powernet) lining or not. I got mine from the Sewing Chest & talk about a quick turnaround, I was really impressed. The instructions give plenty of guidance for sorting out the lining, identifying its stretch if necessary to adjust the sizing, however, I suspect that the stretch of most powermesh is standard to Melissa's standard pattern size.
I learnt a lot of techniques through sewing this top and Melissa provides all the instructions you need, with great diagrams. And something that I love, she also gives the lengths of elastic for each piece, which I like as, left to my own judgement, I never know if I am giving it enough stretch as I insert it around armholes, necklines etc.
Melissa also gives different instructions for using a coverstitch machine with a binder, but I'm still getting to grips with my coverstitch machine, so have not thought it worth investing time and money in that attachment (it's a whopping £70 odd quid, & I'm still too rubbish with my coverstitch to embark on something else even more complicated !).
If not using a coverstitch, the armholes and neck edges are kept neat and trim with elastic. Just normal elastic. I made a few of my test tops with elastic following this approach, however I took a leap of faith and used fold over elastic for my jungle January number in cerise, oh yeah. And I think I will use FOE every time now. My local haberdashery ( in the Guildhall market, 2 mins from my office!!) has started to stock all of the FOE colours they can get their hands on. Nice one. And I seem to get better results using a three step zig zag to attach it, & that's what I used this time.
I've got a bit more work to do on the fit – there is a bit of extra at the side seams that needs to come out, but it's totally wearable & I understand what's needed next time, which is good. So, that's the XYTing story, the first chapter in what will be many of these tops to come ( I have to make all the different backs up!! Lots of times ?!) It's a winner people and you can download it here– in a whole range of sizes. Serious hats off to Melissa, she's also designed the PB Jam leggings which also feature clever piecing – certainly not taking the easy design route. So, my PB Jam leggings are to come….Can't wait to see what else Melissa comes up with. GOOD LUCK Melissa.

The mother of all SIGS!
I know we can't have sigs like this...because it slows the forum down, but i tried doing something special!
What do you think?!
3 Attachment(s)
Really nice Limba, I could use some of those individually lol. Good job !
Bad ass bro! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
This is an epic sig Limba! :thumbsup:
Wow, the future of all sigs! Looks almost like a movie on there.
I would take the sigs out personally and just use the action pics that it flows through fast. Have The Reem then blast through some, then Alistair Overeem and blast through the rest. I find that part very kinda pumps you up and makes him look bad ass but the sigs seem to slow the tempo of the animation to much IMO.
Thanks for the appreciations guys!
I will work some modifications to the sig, in the days to come, to try an make the sig more fluent.
And yes...I know what you mean Toxic. The sigs take something away from the action of the overall SIG.
i have something in mind. I'll try and go with your suggestions and other variations...and see what the end result will be!
And i'll make sure to post my works here! :)
Having been the sig of the Yr award winner in the past and having nothing to do with the actual making of the Sig, but rather paying for it....I would pay a lot for that one.....tight work and pos rep.....if it let's me!!! Also Toxic is right they do slow it all down as Limba, you stated inn your OP, but if we could have them.....WoW!!! Really great idea dude!:thumbsup:
Purely epic. Genius.
Ok guys!
Like i've promissed.
Did some work on the sig!
Couldn't stay away from the story of the sig though...but i think i dis a better job of incorportaing that aspect in the sig.
Take 2! :)
I'll try and refine it even more... see what i end up with.
