Guiseley 1 Worcester City 0
GUISELEY stayed top of the Vanarama Conference North table with a narrow win over Worcester at a blustery Nethermoor.
This was despite finishing with ten men after Gavin Rothery picked up a late second yellow card.
The Lions are above Boston United on goal difference only but they are the only two sides with their 100 per cent starts intact after three games.
There are three clubs below them on seven points, with that group topped by neighbours Bradford Park Avenue.
Guiseley have been strong defensively under former Bradford City centre back Mark Bower and have yet to concede this season.
They came close to losing that statistic early on Saturday when the unmarked Daniel Nti had a free header but he placed it wide.
Guiseley had created a few half-chances before breaking the deadlock in the 28th minute. Wayne Brooksby put the ball back into the danger area after a corner had been half cleared and Danny Forrest nodded in.
There was a good chance to make it 2-0 but Adam Boyes headed Alex McQuade's cross wide.
Forrest could have bagged himself a brace after the interval but, having taken Danny Boshell's cross, the striker was foiled by visiting keeper Nathan Vaughan.
Worcester had a spell of possession as they came looking for an equaliser but the Lions defended well.
They almost put the gloss on their win with a second goal but Brooksby's free-kick was palmed onto the post by Vaughan.
Bower said: "It was a difficult game and I think the conditions stopped us playing the way we like to.
"We had a good first half with the wind at our backs but they (Worcester) had one good chance.
"We scored a really good goal while we were on top and Danny had a great chance early in the second half. But after getting himself in a good position, the keeper made a save.
"With it being so difficult in that second half, we looked for the players to dig it out by showing character and organisation to see it through and they did that effortlessly.
"I can't remember Worcester having a single chance in the second half."

INDIANAPOLIS -- Why is the Pistons' streak over?
Because in the three games it has lost to Indiana this season, including Tuesday night's 81-69 setback at Conseco Fieldhouse, the Pacers have played with greater force, and Detroit has appeared to be unwilling or unable to match their strength. The Pacers ended the Pistons' franchise-record-tying 13-game winning streak.
Ron Artest has whipped the Pistons' small forwards, and Jermaine O'Neal had his way with their forwards and centers, other than Ben Wallace.
To the delight of former Detroit coach Rick Carlisle, the Pacers are 3-0 in the four-game season series against the Pistons, and they own all tie-breakers for playoff berths.
"I've got a lot of admiration for our team and the way they've held together," Carlisle said.
The Pacers (33-11) have won five in a row and 11 out of their past 12 to keep Detroit (29-14) in second place in the Central Division.
"They just set the tempo," Detroit coach Larry Brown said. "We got back into the game and got it down four, and then, the second half, we just didn't match their effort. . . . They converted turnovers, and we couldn't get them to turn the ball over. That's usually aggressiveness and defensive pressure, which they did a great job of."
O'Neal controlled everything, with 28 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots. Aging Reggie Miller shook off the cobwebs and scored 22 points, including three triples.
It was O'Neal's 28th double-double of the season.
"When we needed a hoop, he was able to get a clean look or get a foul," Carlisle said.
Meanwhile, nothing came easy for the Pistons.
"In all three games, Rip and Tayshaun and Chauncey haven't shot the ball well or taken many shots," Brown said.
Between them, Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups shot 6-for-26 from the field Tuesday night. They are 21-for-80 in the three games against the Pacers.
The Pistons hit just one three-pointer and shot just 39.1 percent from the field. Billups, who scored just 11 points, suffered a cut under his chin and received five stitches.
Taking an 11-point lead after one quarter, the Pacers led all the way. They took a 66-57 lead into the fourth quarter and expanded it to 77-63 before Detroit put together a mild run.
Detroit was forced to put tough guys Darvin Ham and Corliss Williamson on the floor in the fourth quarter, as Tayshaun Prince and Mehmet Okur were spectators.
"Eventually we have to find a way to beat these guys," said Wallace, who had 10 rebounds and nine points. "We just have to start another streak."

UPDATED 8/9: In addition to Todd's stage demo at E3, we've various press folks go hands on with the game for the first time. Below are some of the initial previews making their way online. As we find more, we'll keep you posted.
- Kotaku — "It's amazing"
- 1Up — "Bethesda has crafted such a large and all-encompassing realization of the Elder Scrolls universe in this newest installment, that dipping your toe into the pool only results in your entire leg being dragged into the water by the game's vicious undercurrent."
- Game Informer (more here) — "Overall, Skyrim played great. The framerate was fluid, the combat satisfying, and the world beckons more exploration."
- Eurogamer — "RPGs send you into menus more than almost any other game genre, so it's weird that more thought doesn't go into inventory design, but as I play around with powers, weapons and items to lighten my load it becomes clear that Skyrim is a welcome exception."
- Destructoid — "After spending an hour aimlessly exploring a very tiny area of Skyrim's world, I'm convinced Bethesda will deliver on Oblivion's promise while outdoing any previous ambitions."
- Gamespot — "Our hands-on time with Skyrim left us with the impression that Bethesda isn't trying to reinvent The Elder Scrolls formula; instead, it's taking what was great about the previous games and adding some interesting new content on top of it."
- Neowin — "Even though we only saw The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim for just a few minutes it's clear that Bethesda Game Studios is going all out to make this latest game in this long running RPG series the best yet."
- IGN — "The view from a snow-choked cave mouth to distant mountains wreathed in a drifting cloak of cloud is clear and detailed."
- G4TV — "Skyrim did not disappoint, and I'm eagerly awaiting getting back into that world to wreak some havoc."
- GameSpy — "Frankly, it's a little exhilarating."
- AusGamers — "…this is probably the most tantalising hour I've spent with a game in a long time…"
And in case you missed it, read how one woman went into labor during Todd's Skyrim presentation.

|The first fixed bugaboo is definitely not inspiring, but a good bolt can be clipped only a few moves higher. I found a red Alien (#4 or #5 Metolius) stuffed up into the flake at the rest with a long runner worked well at this point between bolts. I also suggest doing it as one pitch, because even though you may find yourself pumped at the first set of anchors, climb on! The bolt in the roof is inspiring and once you hit the freehanging sidepull corner you can easily gain a great stance for gear and a rest before the last 20 ft. of well protected 5.9 corner climbing. Go for it, you might surprise yourself, I know I did!

|You may be thinking of the metamorphic rock type called gneiss. I wouldn't think the name has any correlation to that as Eldo is sedimentary rock.

rating: 5.11b 6c 23 VIII- 23 E3 5c
The 1980 Jim Erickson Rocky Heights guide says, "Named after a common metamorphic rock" (which is spelled correctly as gneiss and pronounced "nice"). Merriam-Webster says: a foliated metamorphic rock corresponding in composition to a feldspathic plutonic rock (as granite). Perhaps the FA was making a pun, or just guessed at the spelling.
History from High Over Boulder, 1970:FA by Layton Kor and Ron Foreman 1962. It sounds like the current first pin and first bolt, and the bolt in the roof, are approximately where Kor placed them. The aid line did not move far right on the first pitch as the free line now does.
Patrick Vernon says above that both of the first two short pitches (to the roof and through the roof) are 10. Rossiter says both are 11a. In Erickson's 1980 Rocky Heights he calls the combined pitches 11. Erickson (or all climbers of that era?) is notorious for underrating as compared with current standards. The gear was worse in 1980. What's the current consensus? Hard 10 or easy 11?

rating: 5.11b 6c 23 VIII- 23 E3 5c
I thought that each of the short pitches felt about 11a... but there really is no good reason to break it into 2 pitches. However, there really isn't a very good rest at the intermediate belay and the second 11a section is usually climbed with a pretty thorough pump.If you combine the two pitches, then this would probably go at 11c/d at your typical sport crag
11b if the pitches are combined. Each of the 2 pitches by themselves felt about 11a, but there isn't a good rest at the belay.

|5.11 c/d? This is one of my favorite cases of grade inflation. Prior to Erickson's 1980 guide this was listed as 5.10+ in Ament's Eldo guide, though a few at the time felt it didn't deserve the "+." This was in the EBs, hexes and stoppers era. The chicken bolt below the roof didn't exist then (and probably shouldn't now) and I personally know three climbers who fell from the crack below the roof, ripped the stopper from the flexing flake, bombed onto the old fixed pin at the headjam rest flake below and stopped five feet off the ground (maybe this is where it got the "+"). Since that time the flake in the middle of the roof has broken and become less positive (hence maybe the 11a rating if you climb "both" pitches together and assuming you don't use sticky rubber or clip the chicken bolt or the chains beneath the roof [there used to be fixed angles up and left from the current chains, but desperate to clip unless you climbed past them]). Otherwise the pitch is essentially the same as in the late '70s and definitely an Eldo classic.

John Sherman belittles the current rating of this route and the "chicken bolt" (the second bolt). I don't know where he gets the alleged current 11c/d rating...
My copy of Ament's Eldorado guide (1980) rates this at 5.11 (no letter grades back then), so the alleged grade inflation happened a long time ago.
Erickson's "Rocky Heights" (also 1980) says this, "Due to the eroding fixed protection, this is becoming a more serious lead with each passing year." So, perhaps there was a fixed pin where the "chicken bolt" now is. Or maybe Erickson is referring to the first pin and the pin (no longer there) at the undercling that Sherman mentions.
Found this in Ament's 1980 "Eldorado" guide:"Work up the wall past a bolt, then up and left on difficult rock and out over an obvious roof."The "up and left" from the first bolt sounds like Downpressor Man.Is it possible that Wunsch, Erickson and Scott Stewart freed Guenese via Downpressor Man, without the Downpressor Man bolts?

"Is it possible that Wunsch, Erickson and Scott Stewart freed Guenese via Downpressor Man, without the Downpressor Man bolts? "
No - see picture on p. 204 (of original edition -- it's p. 88 of new edition) of CLIMB!, and you'll see the guys in the 70s climbed it the same way we do today (compare with your second pitcure of Josh).

rating: 5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c
In the late 70s there was good pin in the flake right of the second bolt. At some point it ripped, leaving a good RP placement. In the mid to late 80s, the flake broke and the RP placement was no more.
The route had traditionally been done in one pitch from the ground over the roof. However in the late 70s/early 80s, the bolt in the roof was an old 1/4 incher that was about halfway out of the roof. (It eventually pulled, making the roof lead even more exciting.) That dubious bolt resulted in climbers leaving nuts beneath the roof to back up the pin at the end of the crux traverse and lowering off. Unfortunately in the late 80s, some climbers added a belay underneath the roof, thus diminishing a fabulous climb.
You haven't climbed Guenese unless you finish the pitch over the roof. Personally, I think the anchors beneath the roof should be removed and the route returned to the state of the first free ascent. With the current bomber roof bolt, it's sad that a fabulous 90' pitch has been split into to two 45' pitches.

|Even though I've clipped them, I would also vote for removing the anchors below the roof. They seem really out of place on this climb. It isn't at all like the other roof routes where actually turning the roof is in a completely different league of difficulty from the face climbing below. Plus, with the bolt in the roof, and the other a few feet below those anchors, it feels too much like the Sport Park--clipping a bolt above your head while another is at your waist!--which to me is a blight on an otherwise amazing pitch.

rating: 5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c
The climb earns the 5.11 grade. I believe the initial face to be on-par with the first pitches of each Wasabe and Psycho, both of which I have done recently. The roof is not as difficult, but with the pump, yeah...The 5.11 upgrading might be due to the present slippery nature of the beast. It is abnormally slick for Eldo and covered in chalk and the like. OK, so I don't use chalk and that might have helped, but it is certainly polished. And the slicker it gets, the more people fuss with the holds and slip off and the slicker it gets? See where I am going with this?Anyway, a few other comments. As Ivan mentioned in a picture caption, the "3rd pitch" step left is hard for 5.9. It;s probably 10a. You can make it physically easy with some fancy footwork, but I don't see a lot of 5.9 climbers doing the sort of solution that would be required.
From the 3rd bolted anchor you can continue up and left to the Psycho slab and finish on that, making a 65+ meter pitch from the anchor above the roof. A 70M rope required if you don't want to belay on a pair of total crap bolts.
Lastly, has anyone done the 10d "straight up" dihedral to the upper ramp? Sure looks unprotected from below, and hard too.

|The 2nd pitch var. going straight up the corner and out the triangular roof is indeed only 5.10d. Thin gear to roof then be on the look-out for a solution hole in the roof which takes a good #2 Camalot.

|Rossiter's guide says take RPs and QDs, but I was definitely pleased to place a red Alien in the flake (as someone else mentioned above). A 1.5 Friend also works, but not as well as the Alien. The 5.9 corner above the roof takes wires. There is also a fixed pin, but the eye must be threaded and can't be clipped directly. Excellent route, and a good pump.

Highly recommend a #0.75 in the flake. Kept me off the deck when I blew the crux clip...and I would have blown out my legs had I only clipped the fixed gear.
I don't know how people all think this is 11-. This thing is hard! But then again, you have to put the whole thing together in 1 pitch for the full value! Excellent route!

Belaying accident: I had a strange accident when belaying Lisa Apprill on Guenese a couple of weeks ago.
Lisa had asked me to move my belay from down and right to just below the start. I was sitting on a comfy flat rock a couple of feet left of the first pin. Lisa had a lot of trouble clipping the second bolt. Because of that she was extra tired moving left to the third bolt. She fell, and I was immediately airborne, despite outweighing Lisa by 40-50 pounds.
I figure I was lifted up maybe just an inch, but that was enough to float to the right as the ground dropped steeply away. I swung violently to the right. I saw a little left-facing corner coming at my face, and I jerked my head to avoid it (I think I was wearing my helmet). But then my knee and shin hit the same corner. I came to a stop about 10' off the ground with Lisa hanging below the second bolt near the downward hanging flake.
I was in lots of pain. After about a minute, I got control and lowered myself to the ground. I'm thankful I was using a Cinch, because although I did not let go with my brake hand, I easily could have. On the ground I was in shock--woozy and feeling like throwing up. I apparently did not communicate this to Lisa, because she immediately started climbing back up. After maybe four minutes of deep breathing, the shock symptoms went away, and all was well except for the abrasions and huge lump on my knee.
Now, two weeks later, it's still black and blue below the knee, and the knee swells up now and then. Although I can walk, run and climb, it hurts to bend the knee, due, I think, to the swelling.
The lesson? If the rope is not running very straight up, be prepared to take a swing, especially if the ground slopes away.

Wow, Ivan - glad you both are OK.
A very similar scenario happened to a friend of mine (climber) and a locally well know climber (belayer) - but the belayer ended up with a broken ankle and then a very long "walk" out from Mickey Mouse Wall. He was wearing mountaineering boots, too!

The bolt anchor after the first "pitch" is unnecessary and should be removed. Maybe leave one bolt there, but I'm not sure that would even be completely necessary.
A #0.75 Camalot fits nicely in the undercling flake after the second bolt. There is a good #0.4 placement above the roof until you can clip the pin.
By Mark Rolofson

I first climbed Guenese in Spring 1980. It is still one of favorite climbs in the canyon. I have always considered the 1st pitch to end above the roof at the 2nd two bolt anchor. The first anchor like Chris Archer mentions replaced a fixed nut and piton that people would bail out on. I have always considered this lead to be 5.11b and a pumpy one at that. In 1980, the route was more serious. Where the 2nd bolt is now, you placed a nut behind an expanding flake. You could lower on the nut, but people who fell on it pulled the nut out, resulting in a 40 foot fall on a upward driven peg under the tiny roof (or overlap). If you were smart, as soon as you got to horizontal break under the large roof you would place a bomber #1 Friend on the right before traversing left on the crux moves. In 1985, the flake cracked and John Baldwin carefully removed it before someone got killed. A funky pin was then placed in the remaining part of the expanding flake. This was replaced by Rob Candelaria in 1988 with a bolt along with the first 2 bolt anchor that had been a wad of slings from a pin and a nut. Where several folks with a traditude have scorned Rob's actions, I believe he did the right thing and improved the quality of this great classic so it can enjoyed with a greater much margin of safety. There are still many scary leads in Eldo, if you want to air out your knickers.
Lastly, I don't agree that the first anchor or one of its bolts should be removed. They are have been here for a while and should stay. People have bailed here for decades. Plus, it makes lowering off to clean your gear off much easier to break this into two lowers rather than cleaning the whole pitch from the anchor above the roof.

The climbs on this wall were all pretty horror show for gear back in the day. Yeah, I know, we all manned up and did it anyway. I am glad that this old crap is getting fixed. Every time I read in MP about someone replacing some old fixed gear I think "great, that thing was garbage thirty years ago". As for the anchor under the roof, I agree with Mark R. I used to come up here and just do the first bit as a warm up for brevities' sake as I moved along the wall and did as many of these routes as time would allow. I have done this more times than I can remember. To answer Ivan; yes, at the rest just before the second bolt if you position your feet just right you can duck your head under the flake for a no hands rest. For the record, John Sherman was a little more hardcore than the average climber in every aspect.
After reading Mark comment again, I wanted to add a bit more.... Back in the "good old days" this entire wall was a wad of multicolored shit slings, it is way better now in every respect. I was one who had a "traditude" about Rob Candelaria's efforts, but I think that was wrong. He just was a little bit before his time fixing a bunch of longstanding issues with fixed gear in this area. Thanks to him and all the others. I skip clips frequently due to link ups, rope drag, to much unnecessary pro, whatever...feel free to do the same.

I was the belayer in a situation that mirrors Ivan's comment above. The climber (a long time Eldo native) had me belaying him atop the large block left of the 1st pin. He placed a .5 in the overlap and fell making the stand-up move to clip the 2nd bolt, the cam held. He proceeded to climb again and took the same fall, the cam did NOT hold on the 2nd fall. I jumped down off the block and the climber swung under me (from the 1st bolt, ie after the pin) and struck the ramp. He was a little beat up but OK.
Lessons learned:
1. Belay below the large block under the 1st bolt.
2. Back up gear under the overlap in the finger crack (green C3 or purple metolius)
3. 48" runner on the 1st anchor and 1st piece in the 5.9 corner to reduce rope drag.
Safe by Eldo standards and a 4 star route if you climb to the 2nd set of anchors. Whatever the argument about grades was/is... Combining the pitches makes it harder than Evangeline so...

On Oct. 17, 2015, as part of a rebolting event coordinated by the Boulder Climbing Community (BCC) and the Action Committee for Eldorado (ACE), Curt Stevens and I updated the anchor under the root (~45-foot height) and the true pitch 1 (~75-foot height) anchor with 0.5x4.75-inch, stainless steel, five-piece bolts. The lead bolts were also replaced with half-inch, stainless steel bolts. We moved the anchor under the roof ~6 inches downward to avoid the the region where the old bolts were placed, since it seeps water. The first piton (knifeblade) could still use replacement. Please consider supporting bolt replacement efforts by donating to organizations like BCC, ACE, and ASCA.
This is also a really fun climb! The moves getting up to the roof and grabbing the jugs are tough!

who knows, maybe i give it a try if it catches my interest.
Yes! Deathmatch and everything!
Co-op only
Skirmish style gameplay (DM, team, CtF)
It would have to be a very unique kind of multiplayer
No. Just, no.
well, at least good to know that it was made separately. still think that the MP doesnt fit in a TR game but well. as long i can enjoy my SP, im happy.

Please, say to me that it will not affect the SP story!
yep, meagan just announced it in here. the good news is, that the MP was made by a different company. so the SP shouldnt be affected by it.
I'm really excited to find out more about TR's MP!!!!
Soooo happy
Mah gerd.
That picture of Lara is flawless btw.
Dying btw.
And different modes!!!
You sorted the livestock, I grew up on corn crop but you fit me better than my Llama wool sweater - Llama Del Rey.
Just as an FYI, I can't say much about multiplayer for the time being, as we'll have tons of news coming out of OXM/CES. Feel free to pose questions to me, though, as I'd like to do a big multiplayer segment in the next podcast!
It says the following:
While Crystal Dynamics has been hard at work crafting and polishing the single-player experience, our sister studio Eidos Montreal has been working tirelessly to introduce multiplayer to the world of Tomb Raider.
oeh so that suggests that there is going to be CO-OPInspired by the overwhelmingly positive response to co-op play in Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, we'll have many more details about Tomb Raider's multiplayer offering come CES in early January. Issue #145 of OXM also dives deep into single player content and combat.
OXM website states:
that first sentence hitting subscribers tomorrow, anyone here a subscriber??In the issue hitting subscribers starting tomorrow (on newsstands Jan 8), read all about our hands-on impressions of Crystal Dynamics' newest addition to Lara's upcoming adventure: multiplayer! We spill the details on the new modes and info on who you'll be playing as.
You'll also have a chance to win a custom Xbox 360 console, signed and designed by the Tomb Raider team (including Lara Croft voice actress, Camilla Luddington) in our giveaway sweepstakes (details here and in the issue).

That render is the best thing about this announcement. Shame it's got all that writing over it though .
So it is finally confirmed, took them long enough.
It all makes sense now haha
So anyone here is a subscriber to OXM?!
Even OXM will reveal it, so don't feel terrible, the SP had all the focus it needs ((probably)).
Not sure why CD would jump on the multiplayer bandwagon.. There's already so many multiplayers already in the market and there's nothing new about it. It's not even gonna evenly compete with the big titles out there. CD is just wasting time sacrificing the single player experience
just curious how many Multiplayer modes we will get
Oh Jesus. Why?

More Ag News
North Platte resident Ed Reiker presented the city council with a petition Tuesday signed by 2,939 people who say they do not want Planned Parenthood and what they do notably, arrange for abortions -- in North Platte.
Reiker told the council that Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger in 1914 in New York City. Reiker said she was a proponent of eliminating human weeds, namely Blacks, Hispanics and the Irish. Interestingly enough, Hitler studied her writings too.
Reiker then offered more current data to the council. He said Planned Parenthood is currently facing a billion-dollar lawsuit for $28 million in Medicaid mis-billing in Iowa.
He said nearly 60 percent of Planned Parenthood income comes from abortions and 90 percent of the women that go to a Planned Parenthood facility end up aborting babies.
Reiker said 18 percent of the abortions at Planned Parenthood facilities are administered to teenagers. He said at this time Planned Parenthood has a billion dollars in revenues a year and receives at least one-third of that in U.S. tax money funding.
Reiker said that Planned Parenthood jeopardizes womens health and safety by providing misleading and inaccurate information regarding the risks inherent in abortion.
Reiker said Planned Parenthood also endangers young people with sexually transmitted diseases by promoting birth control to teenagers, which causes them to be more likely to have sex when they are too young, outside of marriage.
Rieker gave the petitions to Mayor Marc Kaschke. The council made no comments.
Newburn Fund
In other action, Councilman Dan McGuire moved to invest the Newburn Fund with First National Bank of North Platte.
Judy Pedersen seconded the motion and it was approved 5-3. Larry Campbell, Jim Carman and Tim Barrett voted no.
McGuire said First National offers the lowest management fee (0.67%) of four banks that applied, and they are local.
Carman said he wasnt comfortable with plans that invest only 20 percent in safe and secure Certificates of Deposit and 80 percent in higher risk ventures. He said he would be friendlier toward the bank if the percentage of money in higher risk investments werent so large.
I oppose it, simply because we shouldnt risk any of it, Carman said.
Campbell said he didnt like the eggs all in one basket idea of the entire fund at one bank.
Barrett agreed with Carmans outlook.
The Newburn Fund is a nearly $2.5 million bequest that is entirely dedicated to city parks.
The money is currently in certificates of deposit, which are yielding very low dividends. Two weeks ago, executive director Eric Seacrest of the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation told the council that the fund be diversified, with $500,000 remaining in local bank CDs and accounts, $500,000 in stocks and real estate investment funds, and $1.5 million in cash equivalents, plus bonds.
In other action, the council:
Adopted 8-0 on first reading Ordinance #3862 annexing a lot at the corner of Valley Vista and Echo Drive. Property owner Thomas Timmerman requested the annexation.
Approved 8-0 the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the city of North Platte and the International Association of Firefighters Local #831-AFL-CIO. The agreement pays off-duty firefighters a minimum of two hours, at time and a half, if they are called to work, and the agreement allows firefighters to accumulate up to 120 hours of comp time instead of overtime pay.
The wage scale for firefighters was not changed.
Firefighters start at $12.29 an hour but are paid for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The base pay amounts to $34,944 a year. On the other end of the scale, the chief makes $26.03 an hour, or $75,800 a year.
Approved 7-1 a two-year collective bargaining agreement with city workers, represented by Nebraska Public Employees Local 251.
Barrett cast the only no vote. Barrett said he still has a problem with the recent wage study of city employees around the state, and how wages are divided. He feels the scale is unfair to those in the middle of the scale.
Also, the treasurers report was pulled from the agenda by Mayor Marc Kaschke. He said it is awaiting further audit figures.
Arts Center renovation
Also, the council approved the following items 8-0:
A contract with Wayne Dowhower Construction for Creativity Unlimited Arts Council to install a new stairway and elevator at the Prairie Arts Center building the historic 1913 Post Office at Fifth and Jeffers.
The cost of the improvements is $470,901.
Of the total, the city and the Creativity Unlimited Arts Council will use $300,000 in Community Development Block Grants. The city is simply the CDBG pass-through agent. The other $170,901 will be paid entirely through CUACs funding sources, according to council documents.
The agreement, which fulfills state and federal requirements, is 38 pages long.

In the wake of a 56%-44% defeat of California's Proposition 37, which would have required labeling of genetically engineered foods, the San Francisco Examiner newspaper's online editorial asked the relevant question:
"Polls routinely show that 90% of all Americans support genetically modified food labeling. So how is it that California's Proposition 37 was defeated so soundly yesterday?"
Here's their answer:
"A last-minute $45-$48 million advertising campaign by multi-national food corporations asking the state's voters to vote No on Prop 37. [It] would seem that pure, old-fashioned, repetitive advertising carried the day."
Maybe money was the deciding factor, but allow me to amplify that insight somewhat: Prop 37 failed because it was a lousy law that was fatally positioned by the organic and natural foods interests that drummed up the measure in the first place.
Here's why.
No matter how bland and benign the Yes on Prop 37 campaign tried to appear—"This is just a common-sense labeling issue because people have a right to know what's in their food," was a typical line—the measure's supporters always ended up playing the dangerous and deadly card.
GMOs are dangerous to the environment. GMO foods are dangerous to human health. Biotechnology is an unproven, scary new science. Genetic engineering is creating horrible Frankenfoods that people are forced to eat. GM crops are allowing mega-corporations to control the world's food supply.
All of that fear-mongering was eagerly encouraged, if not overtly promoted, by the groups working to mandate GE labeling.
Yet once the food industry and the biotech supplier companies began pointing out that more than two-thirds of all foods—including meat, dairy and foodservice products—were exempt under the rules of Prop 37, the obvious question arose: If GM foods are so horrible, why would the new law exclude the majority of foods people eat?
A moral victory?
Yesterday, the Yes on Proposition 37 campaign held a conference call with California media members to celebrate what they called the campaign's "moral victory" and to outline the next steps in the group's continuing effort to push for GE labeling laws.
"We won a moral victory," said Dave Murphy, co-chairman of the Yes on 37 California Right to Know campaign and executive director of Food Democracy Now!, told reporters. "We exposed this issue nationally in a way that's never been done before."
Murphy blamed the proposition's failure on $50 million in campaign spending by opponents. The No on 37 campaign received funding from the Monsanto Company, DuPont and the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Campaign contributors also included such major food processors as Kraft, Kellogg, General Mills, Coca-Cola and the Campbell Soup Company.
"We were outspent six-to-one by an opponent that used every dirty trick in the book to mislead voters about what the proposition was about," added Ronnie Cummins, founder and director of the Organic Consumers Association, one of the key groups that ginned up the measure in the first place.
Cummins argued that voters were convinced by a "barrage of commercials" paid for by the No on 37 campaign telling them the initiative would hurt farmers, create unneeded bureaucracy and keep trial lawyers busy with frivolous lawsuits against mom-'n-pop producers.
He failed to note that a "barrage" of any kind of advertising only works when it's grounded in reality, and everything the opponents of the measure identified as problems rang true with the majority of Californians.
The vote Tuesday was obviously a huge victory for agriculture and the food industry, defeating a measure that would have added costs, created confusion and failed to add even a scintilla of safety to California's food supply.
Rather than waste any time popping the champagne, however, the forces that defeated this measure need to set in motion a program of voluntary labeling to be put in place proactively. The defeat of Prop 37 in no way should be seen as a repudiation of the Frankenfoods argument. Californians voted down a bad law that was poorly written and opaque on potential costs to the consumer. The underlying message that we should be afraid—very afraid—of biotechnology retains its traction with the majority of the public.
The only way, and I repeat—the only way—to negate those concerns is for the food industry to make the ultimate statement of safety by labeling its products, "Enhanced with genetically engineered ingredients."
Then follow up with a "barrage" of messaging that communicates the benefits of biotech.
None of which will sink in unless industry is willing to put its labeling where its messaging is. If it's so safe, then just say so.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Dan Murphy, a veteran food-industry journalist and commentator.

I started with dried beans and a bit of skepticism as I added onions, garlic, and chicken stock to the crockpot with cumin and a few bay leaves, but after cooking all day on low, the beans were softened and smelling great. This was my first soup of fall, and although I always hate to see summer end, I really enjoyed the soup.
Garbanzo Bean (Chickpea) Soup with Garlic Sumac, Olive Oil, and Lemon
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted from Chickpea Soup at The Pink Peppercorn.)
2 cups dried chickpeas
4 cups chicken stock (can also use vegetable stock for vegan version)
2 cups + 1 cup water
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 T minced garlic (or less if you're not a big garlic fan)
1-2 large bay leaves
1 tsp. ground cumin (I might use even more cumin next time)
1/4 tsp. salt (I used fine grind sea salt)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
olive oil, for drizzling on finished soup
powdered Sumac (optional, for sprinkling on finished soup, or use paprika)
1-2 lemons (optional, for squeezing on finished soup)
Crockpot Recipe:
When beans are very soft, remove bay leaves, then puree the soup either using an immersion blender, or in batches using a food process or blender. (If you use a food processor or blender, be careful not to overfill so the hot liquid doesn't spill out.) You can puree completely like I did, or leave the soup a bit chunky.
Serve hot. I drizzled each bowl of soup with olive oil, sprinkled on Sumac, and squeezed on fresh lemon juice.
Stovetop Recipe:
Put beans, chicken stock, 2 cups water, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, cumin, salt, and pepper in large soup pot. (For stovetop cooking, I would definitely soak the beans.) Bring to a low simmer and cook until beans are well-softened, checking the beans every 30 minutes or so and adding more water as needed. (Cooking time for dried beans depends on how fresh the beans are, so if you have beans which have been stored for a while it could take 2-3 hours for them to get soft, even with pre-soaked beans.)
When beans are well-softened, check the amount of liquid and see if you want to add a bit more hot water before pureeing soup. (Stovetop cooking will probably take at least twice as much water as crockpot cooking.) Puree soup and serve with olive oil, Sumac, and lemon juice as described above.

Cliffs Natural Resources said Wednesday that it may temporarily idle its Pinnacle Mine, a major steel-making coal operation that employs nearly 400 people in Wyoming County.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Cleveland-based Cliffs cited "current poor market conditions for metallurgical coal" as the reason for its action. Cliffs said it had issued the required 60-day notice to workers, local officials and the United Mine Workers, which represents hourly employees at the underground mine.
"If market conditions do not improve, it is expected that the idling of the Pinnacle mine could last more than six months beginning on or about August 25, 2014," the company said.
Ryan Thorn, a spokesman for Cliffs, said that the company had taken steps to improve "operational and cost performance" at the mine in response to "deteriorating conditions in the metallurgical coal market."
"The persistent depressed pricing and oversupply in the met coal market for the past year has put cost pressures on the business which has led to this potential action," Thorn said. "Cliffs senior leadership team will continue to monitor industry and business conditions over the next two months."
Thorn added that the company "considers the Pinnacle Mine a world-class operation with a strong and productive workforce of mining professionals."
Employment at the operation was already down with underground jobs down to 397 in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the 2013 average of 478 underground jobs. The mine produced about 2.8 million tons of coal last year, according to data filed with the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration.
UMW spokesman Phil Smith said that company officials met with union representatives Wednesday morning to discuss the potential layoffs, and said that low met-coal prices were the biggest reason for the move. Pinnacle also has a large stockpile of coal on the ground at the mine and has been having trouble getting adequate railroad service to transport that coal, Smith said.
"This could turn around," Smith said. "We hope that it does."
The announcement by Cliffs comes amid other major challenges facing the coal industry in Southern West Virginia, where cheap natural gas and depleted coal reserves, along with tougher environmental rules, have prompted significant downsizing among the region's coal producers. After increasing to more than 24,000 during the first two years of the Obama administration, the number of working miners in West Virginia has dropped by more than 5,000. Figures for the first quarter of 2014 show 19,710 miners working in West Virginia, compared to 24,575 during the same period in 2012, according to the most recent data filed by companies with the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration.
At the same time, Cliffs has been moving to cut expenses in response to activist hedge fund investor Casablanca Capital, which wants the company to split its U.S. and international operations.
Cliffs is an international mining and natural resources company that produces iron ore and steel-making coal.
In addition to Pinnacle, Cliffs operates non-union underground and surface mines in Logan County that employ more than 500 workers. The company also operates the Oak Grove Mine, a unionized underground operation that employs more than 500 workers in Jefferson County, Ala.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Commuting around town could soon cost drivers if they're not careful thanks to new red light cameras being put up Monday.
Though the first red light cameras in Jacksonville were being put up Monday morning, they won't be operational just yet.
Baymeadows Road and Southside Boulevard is the first of 25 intersections to be monitored by red light cameras. The sheriff says the most traffic crashes happen there, saying it was the No. 1 high frequency crash location in 2011.
"Right now we're in the education mode and that grace period is part of the education mode," Sheriff John Rutherford said. "We're going to send you a letter saying right here, 'You ran this red light. Don't do it again because pretty soon it's going to be live and it's going to cost you $158.'"
That's what drivers will owe after the 30-day grace period. If they run a red light, no matter who is driving their car, when they get the citation, they can go online and watch video footage captured by the camera. A uniformed officer will review each citation.
"Particularly when violators can go online and see themselves running the light six seconds before and six seconds after, that's pretty powerful stuff," Rutherford said.
"I think it's great because I've almost been hit once by someone who was running a red light," driver Linda Dan said. "Yeah, i think it's good. I'm happy about it."
The next cameras will go up on Atlantic Boulevard and Monument Road east and westbound, Beach and University boulevards east and westbound and University and Atlantic boulevards southbound.
"Anybody's going to feel concerned when they feel like they're on camera," said David Cawton, of AAA of North Florida. "So as long as people aren't being targeted, that sort of thing, or they feel like their privacy's being breached. I think that's going to be the main concern for folks here in Florida."
The city expects to make $1.5 million from red light camera fines this year. The $158 is split between the camera vendor Redflex, the city, the state and trauma centers in Florida.
A new online tool will help drivers figure out where and when the cameras are going up. It's at www.jaxsheriff.org.

Wooly's Story
I hate having my picture taken!
I was born in an overgrown garden in Los Altos, CA. I don't know whether I had any brothers and sisters; at least none of them made my mistake of going after some dinner that was inside this wire box thing which closed behind me! Actually I really don't think of it as a mistake because I now live in a foster home along with some other rescued cats to talk to and play with. I have to admit it is a pretty comfy life.
I have several cute foibles: I like to eat on top of my cat tree and I like to perch on the edge of my litter box to use it. It's cleaner for me that way! I still like to hop up on my foster dad's back when he scoops our box, just to make sure he gets it really clean!
As you can see, I have the fastest eyes in the west when it comes to having my picture taken. However, if you ask really nicely, I'll show you some of my baby pictures which show that I can open my eyes!

The music sync was done really well on some songs. I think it was a bit long, but still good. I'm used to 15 minute max 'movies' though.
I like how you put bad clips in there too, but maybe next time don't use too many? I think a movie is about the good times more than the bad. I understand why you put them and I think it was cool, but 8 minutes + or something on misses got old after 2.
STILL a great watch. I'll watch again. I'm moving to sweden.

Ravioli with Goat's cheese
Prepare the pastry by mixing in all the above ingredients; allow this mixture to settle for about an hour. Season the cheese with chopped up shallots, crushed garlic, vinegar, thyme, and pepper. Make the raviolis by rolling out the pastry mix with a 2 mm thickness. Once this is done use a round mould of about 5 to 6 diameters to cut the pastry into several circle.
Then by using a cafe spoon place the cheese spread in the middle. Once finish fold the circle into two and close the extremities so that one finds the even thickness throughout. Cook the ravioles in salted water. Just before serving, place on each plate the olives (take out the kernel), the crushed tomatoes with a sprinkling of thyme. Then complete the dish with the raviolis.
This recipe comes from the Provence region of France : an interesting approach to tasting goat's cheeses. Your Italian friends will be surprised.
Ingredients :
Raviolis pastry :
300g of buckwheat
1 egg yolk
1 egg
1 soup spoon of olive oil
Garnish :
4 Rouleaux de Provence
2 shallots
150 g green olives
200g of crushed tomatoes
1dl of vinegar
1 clove of garlic
A cool Rose de Provence

Butterfly paper garland
This butterfly garland, made from pegs and patty cases, is a super-simple craft idea to pretty up a little girl's room, or just to make that string-and-peg art display a little funkier.
Number of players:
What you need:
- cupcake patty cases
- wooden pegs
- ribbon or string
- stapler
- permanent marker
Step 1. Grab what you need to make the homemade paper garland.
Step 2. Start with one cupcake patty case. Fold it in half.
Step 3. Fold it again so it resembles a triangle.
Step 4. Repeat so you have two! Now, place the pointy ends of your folded patty cases together, slightly overlapping.
Step 5 Staple together.
Step 6. You've just created butterfly wings for your paper garland!
Step 7. Draw a little face onto the side of a wooden peg.
Step 8. Peg onto the ribbon or string. Repeat until you have a full garland of butterflies.
- Due to the weight of the pegs, you'll need the string or ribbon to be attached to the wall. This garland won't work as well across a room as the butterflies will not sit upright.
This craft was created by Belinda Graham, who blogs at The Happy Home Blog.

The Iowa State University Agricultural Business Club won two major awards at the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) conference in Seattle earlier this month.
Ag Business Club members, who are all majoring in agricultural business, include Tory Mogler, a junior; Nate Jones, a senior; Josh Sonnabend, a junior; Jared Epley, a senior, Andy Chamra, a senior; Marcie Stevenson, a senior and William Edwards, Iowa State University economics professor and club adviser.
The club was named National Outstanding Chapter for the seventh consecutive year and ISU students also won the Academic Quiz Bowl for the first time in the club's history.
The Agricultural Business Club is an Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences undergraduate student organization advised by Iowa State economics professors Ron Deiter and William Edwards.
"I couldn't be more proud of our students and their accomplishments," Deiter said.
The club has received the National Outstanding Chapter Award 11 times since 1992 and has been awarded the National Creative Club Award six times since the award was created in 2000.
Andy Chamra, a senior in agricultural business and club president, was a member of the winning Academic Quiz Bowl team along with juniors Tory Mogler and Josh Sonnabend. The second Quiz Bowl team tied for fourth and included seniors Nate Jones and Marcie Stevenson, and Jared Epley, a junior.
In addition to the club's awards Mogler was elected vice president of the AAEA student undergraduate section.

Overworlds & Underworlds - one year on
Can you remember what you were doing this time last year? In this week in May 2012, we were getting ready for OverWorlds & UnderWorlds, one of the biggest most unusual events of our lives, created for the Cultural Olympiad.
It took us out of our usual environment, into the Dark Arches, into the Victorian arcades of Leeds, onto the streets of the city centre, to the expansive green of Seacroft, down to the River Aire and up to the canalside at Thwaite Mills. Hundreds of lights were wired into public spaces like the Dark Arches to create performance spaces for dancers and miles of cable laid to carry projections and sounds. Shop windows were filled with automota, models and monitors. Then on 18th May 2012, the water rose up into the city; marching bands, water carriers, a choir of children serenading us from ornate balconies, and more...
Daniel de Andrade
Northern Ballet Ballet Master and Choreogrpaher Daniel de Andrade created a breathtaking new ballet for the event which was performed by dancers from the Company. Click above or visit The Worlds to hear Daniel talk about the experience and chellenges of working in the Dark Arches.
The Worlds
Did you explore? Did you get lost, find your way, return home again with a different experience of the city?
Come back and play again this week in The Worlds - the performers, musicians and artists from all over the region are there already, waiting for you to arrive. It's an online treasure hunt, a map for you to search, a creative archive where you can relive one unreal weekend, or create a new journey for yourself.
Or will this be your first time?
We're waiting for the missing player. You.
Lose yourself, play the music, watch the films....

Culture Vulture
In New Zealand's Bay of Islands, Askari helps charter guests eat up every ounce of local adventure.
By Kim Kavin— August 2004
In the heart of the Waitangi treaty grounds, where British explorers and native Maori made peace in 1840, it sounded like warriors were preparing for battle. Through the trees, in the direction of the bay where the 108-foot Askari was anchored, I could hear deep male voices blotting out the gentle lapping of the surf.
The dozen women in our charter party followed Fraser Yachts Worldwide broker Allan Jouning—our lone male companion and acting chief—over the grassy knoll. We snaked behind him in a line as he inched respectfully toward the 30 or so bare-chested Maori. The men and boys were in four lines, shortest to tallest, each holding what appeared to be a kayak paddle with sharpened ends.
Amid the fierce faces, one of the smaller boys focused curiously on those of us with blond hair. I glanced from him toward Askari, rolling on the hook an easy swim away, and thought about diving toward her, clothes and all. I heard a snort, a shout, some hissing. The biggest Maori could have been sumo wrestlers, and when they leaped forward and stretched their eyes open, I believed they might actually eat me alive. They jabbed out their tongues and hollered in challenging bursts. I assumed the phrases would loosely translate into: "Kiss your boat goodbye, little lady—you're toast."
Such was my welcome to the Bay of Islands, on the tip of New Zealand's North Island. Jouning and Askari's captain, Lon Munsey, had arranged the traditional greeting with the Maori well in advance, and it served as a thrilling introduction to the Land of the Long White Cloud—a place seeping with culture, adventure, and even luxury, but that most of us know only as the backdrop for Oscar darlings Whale Rider and The Lord of the Rings.
While the Bay of Islands is a well-established tourist destination, it and the rest of New Zealand are only beginning to develop in terms of yacht charter. The nation is working to become the regional powerhouse for yacht refit and services while allowing nearby islands to assume the role of charter destinations. Lane Finley, executive director of New Zealand Marine Export Group, says his country wants to be the "Fort Lauderdale" that supports a "Caribbean" composed of Fiji, Tonga, and more. "It's a wonderful potential economy about to flower in the islands," Finley says, lamenting that so few luxury charter yachts call New Zealand home. "We don't have locally owned vessels that attract that clientele."
After the week I spent aboard Askari in the Bay of Islands, I thought the lack of charter activity a real shame. The Auckland area of America's Cup fame and the South Island's wine country of Marlborough may be better known, but I found the Bay of Islands (even though it was flooded with rain during my visit) great fun for hiking, cold-water diving, golfing, dining ashore, and a cultural education. New Zealand's landscape is as stunning as it appears in the movies; there are first-class resorts for charter guests wanting to extend their journey, and Askari has a style and crew that fit perfectly into the scene.

Orphan Barrels & The Universal Whisky Experience
After the presentation, a couple of people came up to me and thanked me for asking what they had been thinking – that the over-matured bourbon, just by the very nature of its age, complexity, and tannic structure, was by far the most interesting of the lot. It was okay for me to bring it up I guess. I'm a wine person!Read More

In the West, Tropical Storm Juliette has dissipated near the west coast of Mexico, but tropical moisture continues to generate locally heavy showers in the Southwest. In fact, the threat of flash flooding persists in parts of Arizona and southern portions of Nevada and California. Meanwhile, Northwestern small grain harvesting is advancing under a hot, dry weather regime. Among three dozen wildfires in California and the Northwest is the 200,000-acre Rim fire, only 32% contained and burning in and near Yosemite National Park.
On the Plains, hot, dry weather persists. Later today, readings above 100°F will be common across the central and southern Plains. The ongoing heat wave—along with mostly dry weather—is promoting fieldwork and crop development, but stressing immature, rain-fed crops in areas with limited soil moisture reserves.
In the Corn Belt, hot, dry weather is maintaining stress on filling summer crops. Today's high temperatures will exceed 95°F in parts of the southwestern Corn Belt. Unfavorable dryness developed in parts of the western Corn Belt during the second half of June and in recent weeks has expanded to cover much of the Midwest.
In the South, very warm, mostly dry weather is generally favorable for fieldwork and crop development.
Outlook: The Midwestern heat wave will conclude during the Labor Day weekend as two cold fronts cross the region and a ridge of high pressure currently over the nation's mid-section shifts toward the Intermountain West. Cooler air will arrive in the upper Midwest by Sunday, followed by cooling throughout the Corn Belt. During the first half of next week, heat will be concentrated across the northern High Plains and neighboring regions, although hot weather will begin to build back into the upper Midwest. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches in the Southwest and across the eastern one-third of the U.S., including the eastern Corn Belt. However, only light showers can be expected elsewhere, including the Plains and western Corn Belt. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for September 4-8 calls for above-normal temperatures across the Deep South and from the Pacific Coast to the Plains, while cooler-than-normal conditions will be limited to an area centered on the Ohio Valley, lower Great Lakes States, and central Appalachians. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal rainfall across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather from the Desert Southwest northward into Montana.

Suspect wanted in shooting, armed robberies shot dead by police
VANCOUVER, Wash. - An officer shot and killed a suspect near a club in Vancouver late Friday night, police said.
Officers were looking for two suspects in connection with a shooting and robberies in Hazel Dell, Wash. earlier Friday.
Police spokeswomen Kim Kapp identified the suspect who was shot as 16-year-old Douglas E. Combs. Kapp said Combs was armed at the time of the shooting and is the suspect in three crimes on Jan. 25: A shooting at an apartment complex at 1 a.m., an armed robbery at a 7-Eleven store at 5:30 a.m. and an armed robbery at a Shell gas station at 6:30 p.m.
Officers confronted Combs and the other 16-year-old suspect near Pop Culture, located at East 19th and C Street, at around 11:30 p.m., when Combs ran to a nearby abandoned warehouse and attempted to draw a gun.
An officer Combs. He died at the scene.
Terry Greenen lives near the shooting scene. He told KATU News he heard four shots fired.
"At least two officers, I noticed were giving orders to someone, then four other shots were fired," he said. "The other [suspect] was on the left hand side of the building. He threw down his gun and [they] took him away."
Joey Le Bard, a manager at Pop Culture, said he stamped Combs' hand as he entered the club for a concert. Le Bard was stopped by police as he left the club.
"They said there is someone dangerous at your place and they asked me what time were we going to close and I said around eleven or so, and they were just going to wait him out," said Le Bard.
The Camas Police Department is investigating the shooting.
Vancouver police said the second 16-year-old suspect was also armed.
The Vancouver police officer who shot Combs will be placed on paid administrative leave, which is department policy. The officer's name has not been released.
Law enforcement sources told KATU News that the search for the two suspects started with a shooting at a Hazel Dell apartment complex early Friday morning.
A woman who was in an apartment and did not want to be identified said her boyfriend was cooking when the shooting began. She said she was asleep at the time.
"All I know is, someone came in through my back door, started chasing my boyfriend through the house, shooting at him," she said. "I saw the gunman run after my boyfriend into the bathroom and I ran out of the house and called 9-1-1," she said. "Five minutes later, my boyfriend came to the neighbors and collapsed on the ground and the paramedics came and took him."
A short time later, an armed robbery was reported at a 7-Eleven less than a mile from the scene of the shooting. The description of the suspect was similar to that of the shooting suspect.
No one was hurt in that incident, deputies said.
Vancouver police believe the suspect was also responsible for an armed robbery at a Shell gas station at 7001 NE Fourth Plain Boulevard Friday evening.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.
