ThirtyTwo Ultralight Boots ($299)
Key feature: Lightweight.
Pros: Dave says, "The boots are really light and comfortable. The lacing system is really solid, too. If you like a soft-to-medium-flex boot—these are them."
Cons: "The liner, which makes the boots so light, is hard to get into—the material on the inside is really grippy." Dave adds, "The sole has good tread for traction on snow, but it's a little slippery on other surfaces. If you like medium-to-stiff-flex boots, they these are probably too soft."
Verdict: Dave says, "I personally like a little softer boot like this. They were comfy and it felt nice to have such a light boot on for hiking."

Federalist Society Honors Henderson for Scholarship, Teaching
The Federalist Society is honoring M. Todd Henderson, Assistant Professor of Law, with its prestigious 2010 Paul M. Bator Award, the group announced in October.
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies established the Bator Award in memory of Paul M. Bator, who had been a professor at the University of Chicago Law School and Harvard Law School. Each year, the award is given to a young academic (under 40) who embodies Bator's excellence in legal scholarship, commitment to teaching and concern for students, and who has made a significant public impact.
"He fits all the criteria well. He already is a first-rate scholar," said Eugene Meyer, President of the Federalist Society. "We have senior and highly talented academics on the selection committee and they were impressed with his scholarship, and he has been very helpful to students in a variety of ways." It also was well-noted that Henderson served in the military, Meyer added.
The Federalist Society was founded in 1982 by a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to effecting change to the existing legal order. The 40,000 member-strong group of lawyers, law students, and scholars is committed to "the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be."
Henderson, '98, who was a member of the Federalist Society as a law student, said he always has been attracted to the Society's commitment to the debate of competing ideas, even more so than its belief in limited government, personal freedom, and the questioning of state power and regulation.
"The core principles of the Federalist Society's Chicago Student Chapter, of which I was a member, were always the robust debate of ideas, and not only in a purely ideological manner, and a willingness to challenge deeply held convictions," said Henderson.
"This is consistent with what is great about the University of Chicago Law School: putting debate and arguments above any type of political shibboleth."
Many great law scholars across the political spectrum are past recipients of the award, including two previous University of Chicago Law School scholars: Geoffrey Miller in 1992 and Adrian Vermeule in 2003.
"When I look down the list of award winners, it is pretty amazing," said Henderson. "To be on a list with those people is deeply humbling."
Henderson will receive the award at the Society's annual National Student Symposium in February 2010.

Homeowners trying to take their second step on the property ladder are still bearing the brunt of tough housing market conditions, a study has found.
The typical cost for a "second stepper" to trade up to their next home last year was around 4.6 times annual average earnings, significantly higher than the ratio of 2.9 times a decade ago, Lloyds TSB's home mover review said.
Trading up was slightly more affordable than in 2011, when this would cost around 5.4 times annual average earnings, the highest reading in a quarter of a century.
South East is the least affordable UK region for second steppers, with an affordability ratio of 6.3, followed by London. Both the West and East Midlands are the most affordable, with ratios of 4.0.
The affordability ratio for second steppers to trade up is calculated as the average price of a typical second stepper home minus the second stepper's current equity position, as a ratio of average earnings.
Many would-be second steppers bought their first home at the top of the market, meaning they face a tough struggle moving up the property ladder and may find themselves in negative equity.
This also has a negative impact on struggling first-time buyers, who typically need a 20% deposit, as it gives them fewer potential homes to choose from.
The typical second stepper of last year would have bought their first home in around 2008 because first-time buyers tend to stay in their home for around four years. They will have around £11,500-worth of equity in their home, the equivalent of 7% of the average £162,170 price of a semi-detached house.
The study puts the average cost of moving house at £9,000, leaving second steppers with little leftover cash for their next home.
By comparison, in 2002 second steppers had average equity of £45,000, equating to 38% of the then average price for a semi-detached house.
Lloyds TSB said that as more time passes since the peak of the property market and the subsequent fall in house prices in 2007-8, a higher proportion of potential second steppers will have bought their first home when house prices started falling which should make moving on more affordable for them.
Nitesh Patel, housing economist at Lloyds TSB, said: "Even though many of today's second steppers won't have bought at the height of the market, many are still going to struggle to make that move up the housing ladder.
"House prices have been falling, or flat, for the past four years and, as a result, many are still in a very low equity position.
"The difficulties faced by aspiring second steppers are having a considerable knock-on impact for potential first-time buyers due to the resulting shortage of properties available on the market with housing chains proving hard to establish."
Lloyds TSB estimates that overall, around 319,000 people moved home last year, including second steppers. This is 1% more than in 2011 but is still just over a third of the 865,100 home movers of 2002.
The research used a combination of housing market surveys and official earnings figures.
Here are the second stepper affordability ratios by region in 2002, followed by 2012's ratio.
- North, 2.7, 4.2
- Yorkshire and Humberside, 2.5, 4.1
- South East, 3.2, 6.3

Teaming up for a memorable evening, Ciara will join Chris "Ludacris" Bridges to tackle the 2016 Billboard Music Awards hosting duties.
Slated to go live on May 22nd, the annual event's guests this year will include Britney Spears, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, Jennifer Lopez, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift.
They're the hosts of the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and Chrissy Teigen and Ludacris are looking forward to the massive event this Sunday (May 17).
In the meantime, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl and the "Act a Fool" rapper are having a blast on the cover of the new issue of Billboard magazine, including a crazy photo spread.
It's going to be another great round of action at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, as Pete Wentz and Ludacris announced the nominees this morning (April 7).
And in addition to the fierce competition, Chrissy Teigen will handle the hosting duties when the ceremony goes live at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 17th.
He's a talented rapper and actor and now Ludacris is gearing up to welcome a bundle of joy with his wife Eudoxie.
On Sunday, the pregnant beauty posed for a photo while out by the ocean as her handsome beau kissed her burgeoning baby bump.
It's one of the most-anticipated movies of the year and "Furious 7" has just released a high-intensity trailer for all to enjoy.
Starring the late Paul Walker along with Vin Diesel, Ludacris, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Jason Statham, the forthcoming flick is slated to hit theaters on April 3rd, 2015.
She cleaned up her act in rehab, and now Kesha is ready to take on a new adventure as ABC announced she's joining the cast of "Rising Star."
Earlier today (May 16), the network revealed the all-star lineup of judges for its newest music competition.
Gearing up for the weekend's festivities, the Billboard Music Awards announced at Ludacris is taking over the mic to host the star-studded event on Sunday (May 18).
His resume speaks for itself, as the Atlanta-born rapper owns 18 Hot 100 top 10 singles, which is the third-most of any hip-hop musician. He's also produced five number one albums on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and 29 top 10 singles on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
When the weather gets hot concert lineups get even hotter, and Summerfest has a 2014 schedule that will blow your mind.
With headliners that range from Bruno Mars to Motley Crue, all musical genres will be covered between June 25th-29th and July 1st-6th when the mammoth festival rolls into Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
His sudden death in a car accident Saturday afternoon stunned fans and colleagues and now fellow famous faces are taking to Twitter to mourn and remember Paul Walker.
At around 3:30pm, a vehicle driven by a friend crashed and was engulfed in flames when police arrived. The driver and the "Fast and Furious" star were pronounced dead at the scene.
It's no secret that he's one of the hottest names in the music game, and Sean "Diddy" Combs just landed in the #1 spot on Forbes' new Highest-Paid Hip Hop Artists list.
The "I'll Be Missing You" rapper is said to be worth an estimated $580 million, with $50 million of that coming in over the past year.

I had my first treatment yesterday. Bought a "package" of 2 Titan treatments and 3 Laser Genesis. Had the Titan and one of the Genesis treatments yesterday am. 90 mins in total for both.
So far I'm really pleased, there is a definite lift already. My face feels really smooth and soft and the treatments were totally painless, in fact, they were relaxing. When they finished one half of my face, they let me compare, in a mirror, there was definitely a difference.
A little pricey, but so far I'm happy with it. Look forward to seeing what other changes happen.

THE Waratahs play the Highlanders tonight at the SFS in a must-win contest for their finals hopes. Both teams are smarting over inaccurate refereeing decisions that damaged their chances of winning their last matches. Both of these decisions would have been overturned had the video referee been given the chance to review them.
In the case of the Waratahs, they had scored 11 points on the trot towards the end of their match against the Bulls. They were within three points of their opponents and closing in for win. A ruck was contested after a kick-off. The excellent referee Craig Joubert, who was near the ruck, let the play continue. Then he noticed the assistant referee, Pro Legoete, on the far side of the field with his flag up. Legoete told Joubert that the Waratahs second-rower Pat O'Connor had headbutted a Bulls forward as he went into the ruck. There was some hesitant conversation between the two officials. Then Joubert awarded a penalty to the Bulls and red-carded O'Connor.
Morne Steyn kicked the easy penalty to give the Bulls a six-point lead. Then with three minutes to play the Waratahs were penalised at a ruck near the Bulls' try line. The loss of a tight forward to drive into the ruck and secure possession hurt the Waratahs at this time. It is not being one-eyed to say that the red card killed off any chance of the Waratahs winning a crucial match.
The galling aspect of this incident for the Waratahs is that a subsequent SANZAR judiciary hearing found no evidence of a deliberate headbutt. No further action was taken. Joubert, though, was cautioned by the SANZAR referees boss Lyndon Bray for not fleshing out the details of the incident with the assistant referee. This was a strange approach. Headbutts in the laws of rugby come into the category of "but me no buts". A referee has no option but to use the red card when his assistant referee tells him that a player has deliberately used his head to butt an opponent's head.
Bray told rugby journalists that SANZAR was looking at expanding the use of television technology to help match officials get their decisions right. A better reaction from Bray should have been to foreshadow a change in the SANZAR regulations (at least) making it mandatory for referees to use the video referee to verify incidents involving a red-card punishment. It is obvious why this regulation is needed. A red card that takes a player out of the match is too harsh a punishment to rely solely on the judgment of officials who sometimes get things wrong.
Rugby owes its expansion as a mass sport played around the world to its early embrace of a technological breakthrough. Pigs bladders cased with leather were the first balls used in the sport. The bladders deteriorated quickly. They were difficult and nauseating to blow up, a task the boys at Rugby School handed over to the local bootmakers, the Gilberts. The invention of the rubber bladder in the 1870s was the single most important factor in the spread of rugby throughout Britain and the world. The rugby ball was standardised. It could be used for several seasons and exported easily to the distant colonies. The new ball allowed rugby to be a mass sport.
A few years ago when Rod Macqueen pushed, without much success, for some innovative ideas with the ELVs project to be adopted he made the point that if the rubber bladder were under consideration now, it would not be accepted. The 21st century equivalent of the rubber bladder is television technology. In Monday's Herald, Greg Growden made the strong case that the video referee's role in deciding whether a try has been scored should be expanded to events leading up to the try. This would have given the Highlanders a try they were denied because of a refereeing mistake. He suggested, too, that teams should perhaps have a right of review but restricted to one query a half. This would have allowed a review of the fateful O'Connor headbutt decision if an automatic video review of red-card decisions is not brought in.
Diehards who object should remember that an excellent rugby precedent drives this reform: "Use it, or lose it."

Great value
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I have always been a fan of vintage turntables. I started having trouble with one of mine and at about the same time this one went on sale so I pounced on it. I haven't regretted it for one second. I'm really pleased at how simple it is, the stability, the auto return, and it sounds great. Looks much better in person than I thought it would, too
Pros: Simple, great sound, stable, does not need ground wire connection, automatic
Cons: None so far. I did change the cartridge but that's because I had a high-quality one available. I never gave the stock cartridge much of a try so I don't have an opinion on it

David Karp's keynotes are not so much lectures as they are inspirational and informative stories of success, communicating to the viewer the mindset he had when he launched the short form blogging website, Tumblr; that is to say relentlessely inventive and keenly perceptive.
Karp is a native of New York City, where he currently lives. His educational background is unorthodox. As a child he attended the The Calhoun School before attending Bronx Science as a teenager. By 15 though, he dropped out and began homeschooling instead. Still, by this time he was already interning for the animation producer Fred Seibert and soon began working as a software consultant for the online urban parenting forum UrbanBaby.
Tumblr was launched in 2007 and as is made explicit in David Karp's keynotes, the project was motivated by an earnest desire to create a short-form blogging platform rather than milk a cash cow. Still, Karp's labor of love has most certainly not been fruitless, as it is one of the most successful social media platforms out there.

Tea Incarnations:
Sordid and Holy Exploits
Like most major discoveries, the invention of tea was an accident.
The history of tea reads like a myth from The Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell:
• Tea went on a journey and traveled the world.
• Tea has companions.
• Tea altered history—politics, commerce, spiritual traditions as well as the growth of nations in addition to people's well-being, fame and fortune.
• Tea has transformed, yet remains the same.
• Tea is personal and universal.
• Tea has started wars and ended them.
• Tea is both sacred and ordinary.
• Tea has been used as money, for negotiations, to buy a wife and as a sacred tool in monasteries.
• Tea is for welcoming and saying goodbye.
• Tea has provided meaningfulness and stability, social connection and comforting solace.
• Tea is refreshing and healing, stimulating and calming.
• Tea overcame many challenges to reach you.
It should not be a surprise then that a substance of this magnitude has many birth legends. But, China, Japan, Korea and India have finally come to agree on one thing: tea was discovered in China about 5000 years ago by Shen Nong.
Shen Nong is the acclaimed father of agriculture and medicine in China. Shen Nong named tea 'cha' which is the same pronunciation for "checking for poisons". One myth says, "He tasted herbs and plants all day noting their effects." When he tasted tea, he believed it checked for poisons as it made its way through his intestines. In effect, it purified him of toxins.
Another story says Shen Nong was traveling, when he stopped to boiled water to sanitize it. Leaves from a nearby bush blew in the steaming water. This new brew created an appealing aroma. Upon tasting the tea, he found it delicious and stimulating.
Out of facts and legends, another less exciting story can be seen emerging. In southwest China 5000 years ago, there was a tribe of people called Shen Nong. The Shen Nong macerated herbs, plants and leaves to soften them. It was a common practice to extract the nutrients. Edentulism (loss of teeth) was also common. Obviously, after the loss of molars, chewing many of the leaves and plants becomes difficult, if not impossible.
The next best thing to the dissolving qualities of saliva and maceration is water and a mortar and pedestal. Simple observations would have shown that warm water extracts faster and better than cold. Tea must have been extraordinarily easier to consume as a warm liquid than chewing and sucking on it during the day.
Regardless of tea's creation story, all is conjecture. Tea is not mentioned in writing until 3rd century AD in a Chinese medicinal text written by Hua T'o; far after tea's discovery. By this time, the legends of the birth of tea had already begun to develop.
Written records or not, tea myths still abound even today. Many tea writers, blind to anthropological realities, have tea arriving into some countries considerably later than it actually occurred. These stories are often dependent upon biased historical claims rather than on science and evidence.
Throughout tea's travels, tea has remained ecumenical. Tea is still innocent of the drama, abuse, bloodshed, and espionage associated with its history. It is highly unusual that some cultures did not demonize tea for all the hell it caused among people. But tea also continues to be steeped in adoration and honor from the individual and collective lives it has changed for the better.
She wiped her hands on the chef coat and then gripped the handles of the marble rolling pin. They felt like ice against her hands, while Quint's breathe felt like a summer breeze on the back of her neck. He said, "Okay, now start at the center and roll toward the edge, keeping the pressure even."
She started, then inexplicably froze. His hands came down on hers as he leaned over her, their bodies spooned. Her heart began to race. His cheek touched hers, his mouth near her ear, his voice husky.
"Keep the pressure even. Like this. That's right."
He leaned into her and away from her with each extended roll, his body heat like a comforter she wanted to snuggle. She didn't mean to nuzzle his head, but she did, and the next thing she knew...
"Oh, God, Callee," Quint groaned, spinning her into his arms, his mouth finding hers, his body meeting hers. A fiery rain of irresistible sensations washed through her, burning away her resistance.
She kissed him with all the need she'd suppressed for months and months and tore at his chef's coat as he tore at hers, their lips locked in an ever-deepening reunion. His hands were in her hair, hers were in his. He tasted of red wine and Thai food and smelled even better. Her sweater vanished, followed by her bra, and his shirt, his belt, his jeans. He pulled her naked torso to his, eliciting a gasp of pure pleasure at the ached-for feel of his body. Her nipples were rock hard against his chest, his arousal against her thighs.
She didn't remember kicking off her boots, or her jeans, or her panties. Every breath, every touch, raised her higher and higher toward the heavens, and she didn't want it to ever stop.
Quint swept the parchment paper, pie crust, flour, and rolling pin from the island. The ensuing crash brought Callee to her senses with a bang. Dear God, what was she doing? She shoved against Quint's shoulders, tore her lips from his and pushed him away, panting. "No. No. I don't want this."
"Could've fooled me." His words came out in a breathless rasp.
Callee gathered her clothes, tugging them on, humiliation and embarrassment scorching her insides. She glanced at the mess on the floor. It was just like their marriage. It had started out as something wonderful and ended up thrown away. She left him standing there, naked, aroused, and making no attempt to cover himself. He looked perplexed and angry and sexier than any of her memories.

Doctor Says...
I tried really hard to not start crying. It couldn't be helped. He's a nice guy and handed me a box of tissues. Clearly I'm not the only one who's cried over such a thing. That made me feel a little better.
Apparently an X-Ray won't show a stress fracture. (Gee, thanks for taking them and billing them when they were worthless.) So I have to go back on Tuesday for an MRI, and then on Friday to see him again and get the results and a treatment plan.
He said it could still be some other things like bursitis or something similar. I'm going to keep hoping for that. If I have a stress fracture, I'll have to be on crutches for a while.
With that said, he told me not to be running (of course) and said he'd discourage me from even walking the half since walking can make a hip stress fracture worse.
I'm really disappointed. I had so hoped he'd be able to easily say it was something else, anything else... something that I could maybe still run the half on.
And crutches? Boy, that's going to suck. Especially over the holidays.
I'll deal with it. The most important thing is to get healed so I can get back to running and start again. It's just not easy to remember that today. I feel so many different things. Disappointment I can't run the race I've been training for. Frustration that I put in so much time and work and now have to stand on the sidelines. A little bit annoyed that other people run so much more than I do and never get hurt, and I did everything right and still ended up getting hurt. Depressed that there's a good chance I won't be running for a couple of months, so I'll lose all this fitness I built up these past 4 months and have to start all over, and probably very slowly.
Like I said, I'll deal. I'm tough and don't usually let things keep me down. And there's still a chance it's not a stress fracture, but he seemed to think it's a small chance.
So today... right now... I'm sad. I'm disappointed. I'm frustrated. But I'm going to do my best to get the tears out, put on a smile and go to Memphis with my parents and friends and have a good weekend. Be back Monday.

I'm sorry. I hope whatever it is that you heal quickly. At least you know that you can regain all of your fitness and that you're entering into this time very fit, so you won't lose too, too much. I hope you still enjoy your weekend and I think it's more than okay to cry about something that means a lot to you.

ahhhhhhh melanie!!! i'm so sorry! I can only imagine how disappointed you are!! I had a stress fracture my sophomore year of high school when i attempted to run cross country in both my ankles and i was on crutches for 2 months AND I almost missed my swimming nationals (note to self...why did i think it was a good idea to start running in the middle of my swimming season??).n *HUGS* I'll be praying for you and a healthy recovery!!!!

Hey Melanie, I'm so glad you went to the doc. Just think, if you had run with a stress fracture, it could have turned into a real fracture and that would have been 1000 times worse, requiring surgery and all that. Here's a bit of hope for you. A few years ago I had a pain in my hip a lot like you are describing. So painful to run! Doc was sure it was stress fracture too even though it didn't show up on the initial xray. Well it didn't show up on the MRI either. Ended up being diagnosed as bursitus. I didn't believe it since I was in so much pain, but the exercises the the Physical Therapist gave me ended up working so that must have been what it was!
Sending hugs your way. I would be frustrated too. Hang in there!

I'm so sad for you! I loved reading about your training and YOU are my inspiration just so you know <3 I know it's tough, and disappointing but it's only a couple months, you'll get back into it <3 <3
and cry all you want, especially after all the hard work you put into it. (but at least you went to the doctors and you're not making it worse!!)

Oh girlie! I am so sorry. I hope that you have a speedy recovery no matter if it is a stress fracture or something else. Please remember we are all here for you and want you to get back to running!! Its ok to be disappointed! Let it all out! You love running and it is only fair!!

I'm so sorry, Melanie! I know you are very disappointed and it's definitely ok to cry and let out your frustrations. Do what you have to do now, so that when the Dr. gives you your treatment/recovery plan, you can tackle it full force.
It's hard to think about right now, but the most important thing is your health. Running will still be waiting for you when you are back well.
Hugs to you!!!

I know how you feel. I have a stress fracture in my back, and it's made me so sad. I haven't even posted about running or working out in a long time, because I don't want to. Thinking about it makes me really want to cry! So, I don't run as much as you do, but I do feel your pain.

Paul O'Rourke continued. 'As the event is growing there is now significant co-operation between the area's sailing clubs. This year we have Port Stephens Sailing and Aquatic Club coming on board and they will be helping us run the Junior regatta. We already have the Port Stephens Yacht Club involved and they help us on the Sports Boat courses with their volunteers. What we are showing is that Port Stephens has the capacity to run larger and larger events.'
Principal Race Officer Denis Thompson said 'The IRC fleet is looking very impressive with possibly four TP52's at the front of the fleet. Marcus Blackmore's TP52 Hooligan is back to defend her NSW IRC Championship title. Bob Steel, the 2010 IRC winner, is coming back with his TP52 Quest.
'The Commodores Cup fleet is again looking very strong. We are more than double the number of entries we had at the same time last year. Overall Sail Port Stephens 2012 is going to be a very exciting regatta.'

The January 2016 City of Tacoma (City) Right-of-Way Design Manual (Design Manual) has been updated with a July 2016 Errata version and can be found via the link below. Changes were made throughout the manual to correct reference errors and other non-substantive items. The specific changes made can be found in the second document below titled 'City of Tacoma Right-of-Way Design Manual Redlined Errata Sections - July 2016'.
Download the 'City of Tacoma Right-of-Way Manual - Errata Version, July 2016'
Download the 'City of Tacoma Right-of-Way Manual - Redlined Errata Sections'
The Design Manual outlines the requirements and regulations for public infrastructure improvements within the City's ROW and is applicable to both City projects and private development within the ROW. These requirements may also apply to certain private development improvements on private property, for example a private road.
The Design Manual was updated by City staff with input from the public. Public meetings were held to inform the public of the proposed changes and public comments were taken on the draft document.
A hard copy of the Design Manual is available for public review by Dan Seabrands, P.E. at (253) 591-5150.
Training on the updated Design Manual geared toward the development and engineering community and those involved with design of projects both on private property and within the City right-of-way were held December 17, 2015 and January 7, 2016. This training was available to all members of the public.
View the training presentation.
Previous Design Manual available for reference:
Download the 2004 Design Manual
The Design Manual applies to the construction of all street and ROW improvements including stormwater and wastewater construction, street lighting, traffic signalization, landscaping, ADA requirements, and channelization. The Design Manual provides the minimum technical standards required to construct improvements within the ROW. The Manual is designed to be used in conjunction with other local, state, and federal rules, regulations, and design guidance as applicable to a given project.
Focuses on the City permitting process which private developers must follow for constructing improvements in the city of Tacoma ROW.
Provides the engineer with guidance and minimum standards for the development of the construction plans. The engineer should also reference the City's Site Development Permit and ROW Construction/Work Order Tip Sheets.
Chapter 4 Street Design: Outlines design criteria and guidelines on the geometric design elements that must be considered in the location and design of the various types of roadways, which includes all elements in the ROW.
Discusses the applicable Tacoma Municipal Code regulations for street lighting.
Addresses traffic control devices such as traffic signals and warning beacons. Their reliability and consistency in appearance and application is a vital part of maintaining a safe public ROW for all users.
Contains general requirements and design guidance for channelization and signing of roadways and paved trails within the public ROW. This chapter supplements the guidance found in the latest edition of the MUTCD as adopted and amended by WAC 468-95.
Provides accessibility criteria for the design of pedestrian facilities that meet applicable local, state, and federal standards. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA requires pedestrian facilities to be designed and constructed to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.
Establishes required procedures and standards for landscaping within the ROW.
Provides guidance on how to achieve the appropriate separation, amenities, and design tools to ensure that the Shared-Use Path is designed consistent with the context of its location and intended users. Shared-use paths are designed for both transportation and recreation purposes and are used by pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, and other users.
Provides design criteria for the construction of all publicly owned wastewater and stormwater conveyance systems. The design criteria in this chapter apply to all proposed improvements to the City wastewater and stormwater systems, as applicable.
Addresses the initiation process for design and approval of water plans. It should be noted that submittal and approval of the water plans is a separate and distinct process from the ROW Construction/Work Order Permit process.
Focuses on subjects that may have applicability to any proposed development within the City ROW including easements, dedications, State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and erosion and sediment control.
Additional reference materials can be found at the end of the Design Manual.
The City of Tacoma General Special Provisions (GSPs) and Standard Plans outline more technical details of construction within the ROW and City infrastructure. Please note that the GSPs and Standard Plans are subject to change and additions may be made at any time. Refer to this website for the most current versions.

No One should forget that Juande Ramos led Tottenham to their first trophy in nine years last season.
Ramos won the Carling Cup which was more than Glenn Hoddle, Martin Jol and Jacques Santini managed between them.
But now eight months later, Tottenham are in a mess. That is largely down to losing Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane this year.
Any club would miss three top class strikers who are all proven goalscorers in the Premier League. So, when the blame game is being played out at White Hart Lane, there is one man who should take responsibility for the club's current problems. Damien Comolli.
For far too long directors of football and sporting directors have ducked the bullets and been absolved from any blame when clubs are in trouble. The manager always cops it.
But this time, calamity Comolli does find his job on the line - and quite rightly so.
Every club has a Plan A. The best clubs have a Plan B when Plan Afails. Certainly, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool do. There's generally another option if they can't get their first choice.
But what happened at Tottenham? They ended up in a blind, mad panic on transfer deadline day. Tottenham always leave it late, but this is ridiculous. Tottenham lost Defoe in January.
They always knew that Berbatov wanted to go and yet Keane's move to Liverpool was something of a bolt out of the blue.
But if Tottenham are determined to go down the director of football or sporting director road then it is up to him to bring in replacements.
Tottenham spent big in the summer on Luka Modric, David Bentley and Giovanni Dos Santos.
All talented players but they're not goalscorers. Roman Pavlyuchenko was brought in for big money but was signed late on so it will take him time to settle. That leaves poor old Darren Bent as the club's lone striker.
They brought in Fraizer Campbell as part of the Berbatov deal but wasn't it up to Comolli to line up players in the summer so they could strengthen the squad?
They certainly went for quite a few.
Comolli, we're told, went for Luis Garcia and Diego Milito but the deals fell down. So, at the last minute, Tottenham made last-gasp attempts for Emile Heskey and Kevin Doyle.
Sorry, but if your permanent job is sporting director then what else isthere to do but try to sign players?
What on earth is Comolli doing for 11-and-a-half months a year if everything is left to the last minute - and he still can't get that right!
We're always told that directors of football can work in English football. Well, they can only work if they are held accountable.
Comolli doesthe deals and Ramos picks the team. Well, if he's not got a balanced squad to choose from then he's got no chance. It all comes back to Comolli.
I've a sneaky feeling that Tottenham will draw at Stoke on Sunday and that should be enough to keep Ramosinajob. This is the manager, after all, who they poached from Sevilla and led them to the Carling Cup.
They brought in some quality players like Modric, Dos Santos and Bentley who are good players who will do well in a steady team.
The keeper, Gomes, is not bad either. He's made some mistakes but who wouldn't in a team at the foot of the table which is losing every week?
Tottenham bought well in Vedran Corluka who can play in the middle alongside Jonathan Woodgate as the absence of Ledley King for big chunks of the season is another major factor in the club's problems.
Ramos has at times picked teams which have upset the fans. Like, for example, at Portsmouth when he went with one up front. And yet if the team is losing each week you have to be cautious.
Tottenham are at least one and maybe two quality strikerslight. They can't sell Defoe, Berbatov and Keane and then just not replace them. Pavlyuchenko and Campbell are not enough.
They will have to spend big and wisely again in January to keep their season going. Furthermore, they also need to get Modric working. And the same goes for Bentley.
Tottenham have the raw ingredients but at the moment Ramos is being asked to work wonders with an unbalanced squad. That must come down to Comolli. The buck stops with him.

Dear Citizen Readers:
Has your home well gone dry yet? Did you know that if it does that your home owners insurance won't cover your well replacement?
Digging a deeper well is an expensive proposition. Depending on how deep you need to go, it can cost several hundred dollars to get to water. Then you have to replace your pump. When the pump tries to pump air, it burns up and you will need a new one to the tune of $1,000 to $1,500—maybe more. It all depends on when you hit water.

"The initiation of this clinical trial represents an important milestone for Insmed as we advance our ARIKACE program," said Timothy Whitten, President and CEO of Insmed. "Even with currently available treatments, chronic Pa lung infections remain a significant medical issue for CF patients, and we believe ARIKACE has the potential to be an important treatment option for these patients. In our randomized, placebo controlled phase 2 clinical study, ARIKACE demonstrated statistically significant improvement in lung function over the course of one complete 28-day on-treatment and 28-day off-treatment cycle in CF patients with Pa lung infections. Our goal is to confirm the benefits of ARIKACE in this phase 3 trial." CLEAR-108 is a randomized, phase 3 trial comparing ARIKACE 560 mg, delivered once daily via an optimized, investigational eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI Pharma GmbH), to TOBI®(1) (inhaled tobramycin solution), which is a commercially available inhaled antibiotic that is delivered twice daily. The Company anticipates that the study will be conducted in approximately 300 patients. The primary endpoint will be change in pulmonary function (FEV-1) measured after three 28 day on-treatment and three 28 day off-treatment cycles (about six months). A key secondary endpoint will be time to pulmonary exacerbation. The study design was previously agreed upon by Insmed and the European Medicines Agency. Eligible patients will have the option to participate in a longer term open-label safety study, called CLEAR-110. The study's Principal Investigator is Diana Bilton, M.D., Director of Adult CF Centre at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, England. Top-line data from CLEAR-108 are currently expected to be available in the second half of 2013.

Your Real Estate Business Done Right…FINALLY
I'm here to tell you what no one else will tell you about how to turn your real estate business into a raging success.
Welcome to AGENT GRAD school®
Once upon a time, I was a new real estate agent with a dream. I thought a career in real estate meant free time and a lot of money to do whatever I wanted in life. A few months into the business, reality set in and I had neither. I asked all the agents in my office what to do and it either seemed like a big secret or they were doing the same things as everyone else and it wasn't working that well.
I refused to accept the status quo.
I decided to look outside the real estate industry at what other small business owners were doing to grow their businesses. I started to see certain patterns that were exactly the same among these successful business owners. So, I applied them to my real estate business and created a formula that took me from struggling and frustrated to being one of the top-selling real estate agents in the country, year after year.
In fact, my formula worked so perfectly, I was able to personally (with no team of agents) easily sell $30,000,000 in real estate per year and had even more sales coming my way that I could not ever handle on my own. So I created my very own real estate brokerage, using the exact methods I will teach you.
I'll show you exactly how to do it, too.
I will show you the exact strategies, tips, and advice I personally use and that I teach the agents in my office to use, now, every day, to create a business that is so easy, it feels like it's happening automatically – running like a machine – naturally bringing you clients that you love working with, no matter how the market is doing.
AGENT GRAD school®
will take your business to the next level.
Are you ready?

Hollande and Merkel in show of unity on Greece
By Honor Mahony
The German and French leaders put on a careful display of unity on Greece on Thursday evening (23 August) in Berlin appearing only briefly before press to urge Athens to continue reforms.
In a choreographed event, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her French counterpart Francois Hollande made short statements and took no questions before heading to dinner to discuss how to answer Greece's request for an easing of its bailout terms.

"It is important for me that we all stick to our commitments... but I will encourage Greece to continue along its path of reforms," Merkel said.
She reiterated the message that no decision on whether Greece should be allowed extra two years to meet its budget target or whether it will be paid the next tranche of its bailout money will be taken until a formal reform progress report - due next month - has been published.
"We want, I want Greece to stay in the eurozone," said Hollande. "It's up to the Greeks to make the necessary efforts so that we can achieve this goal."
Their message came just ahead of separate meetings with Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras who is expected to make the case for allowing Greeks more breathing space, a message he has been leaving in a series of German and French newspapers.
While Samaras' plea is thought to have more resonance in Paris where Hollande has previously expressed sympathy for the amount of austerity measures Greek citizens have put up with, Merkel is in a more politically difficult position.
Patience among her own centre-right party members as well as within the liberal party - the junior coalition partners - towards Greece, which has delayed on implementing reforms, is running low.
Finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble spelled out the hard stance in an interview with SWR public radio.
"More time is not a solution to the problems. More time would, in case of doubt, mean more money," he said.
However, Paris and Berlin will probably have to come to some sort of agreement on being flexible with Greece, with the country's immediate eurozone membership dependent on it.
Both Merkel and Hollande stressed the need to implement recent promises made by eurozone leaders, particularly during the June EU summit.
But here also there are are potential differences. Hollande emphasized the importance of getting central banking supervision - under the auspices of the European Central Bank - up and running as quickly as possible in the eurozone - a source of controversy for Berlin.

Stuart MacGill is set to deny paceman Brad Williams a Test debut at home on Thursday, the leg spinner looking likely to retain his place in the Australian attack.
MacGill, the leading Test bowler this year with 42 wickets from his seven matches, should relish bowling on the barest WACA Ground pitch seen in more than a decade.
He has only played one Test there, against the West Indies in 2000-01, but took 17 wickets in two Tests against Bangladesh this winter and is in good form after a season of county cricket.
WACA curator Richard Winter, who described the strip as "immature" and lacking the grass cover that ensures its extreme pace and bounce, said seam bowlers were unlikely to gain significant assistance from the surface.
"You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear, and with this being the earliest we have ever had a Test at the WACA following a cool, wet September, the normal pace and bounce is not likely to be there," Winter said.
"It will still be hard and flat but it has not had the grass growth and the baking sun that brings out the pace and bounce."
That spells disappointment for Williams, who joined the Test squad when champion quick Glenn McGrath was ruled out with an ankle injury. Perennial reserve Andy Bichel will replace McGrath in the team.
Williams has been called into the Australian squad five times in the past two years without playing a Test but is surely getting closer after McGrath was ruled out of the series and the one-day tour of India next month.
McGrath will not play for at least 10 weeks after it was revealed he would need surgery to repair cartilage damage and two bony spurs in his left ankle.
The two front spurs have been a problem ever since he had a spur removed from the back of the joint in August.
Surgeon Martin Sullivan said McGrath would be reviewed in mid-December, meaning the fast bowler was unlikely to be available before the Boxing Day Test against India.
Sullivan was confident Australia's premier strike bowler would return.
"[Physiotherapist] Errol Alcott and I will review him in mid-December, however I expect him to make a full recovery," he said.
MacGill has played his career in the shadow of the suspended Shane Warne but, with 131 wickets at 26.22 in his 25 Tests, needs only a good match or two to go past Bill O'Reilly (144 wickets) and trail Warne (491), Richie Benaud (248) and Clarrie Grimmett (216) as Australia's most successful leg spinners.
He took four wickets in a Perth Test three years ago, a match more notable for McGrath's hat-trick, while Warne has managed just 23 at 42.61 in nine Tests in Perth.
Jason Gillespie, who is giving McGrath advice on how to fight back from injury rather than the other way round, said Australia would lack little despite the absence of the 430-wicket paceman.
"To miss Glenn is a bit of a blow but I believe we have the bowlers to do the job," Gillespie said. "We've got four fast bowlers in the 12 and we should be fine."
Gillespie also predicted Brett Lee may still get to bowl down wind in the first Test, despite his own status as the team's most senior bowler.
"I haven't seen the wicket," he said. "All bowlers like to bowl down hill but a guy like Brett is more suited to come down breeze. If I get to draw rank, I'll probably come down breeze."
