From wool dryer balls to a company that builds affordable green homes; from a high school greening project to a free collection program for stuff that's tricky to recycle.
Those are a few of the "green innovators" squaring off at the eighth annual Greenfest Philly this Sunday.
"We are really looking forward to getting out there in front of the people in Philadelphia and spreading the word about the fact that you can recycle a lot more than you think you can with TerraCycle," said company spokeswoman Stacey Krauss.
The Trenton-based company will be talking about its new Cigarette Waste Brigade and other efforts to slim down the nation's landfills.
Greenfest organizer Katie Edwards says the winning company will take home $750 and some exposure. The diversity of the companies participating is a plus.
"We really like these ideas because they run the gamut," said Edwards.
A panel of judges, Greenfest attendees as well as online voting will determine the winner. The Green Innovators will take the stage for a panel discussion at 12:30. One will be crowned champion at 4.
"Obviously, this is a friendly competition," said TerraCycle's Krauss. "I'm looking past that into ways that we can kind of lift each other up and work together to make real change."
Edwards — the special events director at the Clean Air Council, which organizes Greenfest — says the point of the annual gathering is to educate attendees on ways to live greener. The hope is to inspire action along the way.
"We want [attendees] to go around and talk to the innovators and see what they're doing," said Edward. "'Why did you start this? What gave you that idea? How did you get this off the ground?' [We want] to get other people thinking."
Organizers are expecting about 10,000 people to pass through Greenfest. It happens from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Philadelphia's Headhouse Square.

You said he was 23nd that is a lie, NBA has him at 33 between forwards and power forwards and as I pointed out by his numbers alone he is on the bottom of power forwards.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

You said he was 23nd that is a lie, NBA has him at 33 between forwards and power forwards and as I pointed out by his numbers alone he is on the bottom of power forwards.
Also your 33 out of 50 is silly anyway. There aren't 50 forwards in the NBA. That's 33 out of 50 on PAGE 1 OF 4. There are 3 more pages of players.
Either way, if you want to go by average, go back through your link and count out how many SF's are on that list ahead of West. I counted at least 13. That's certainly nowhere near 'the bottom'. Especially when there are actually 195 players on that list, not 50.
Here's what I was looking at.
He's 23rd on that list and I see Lebron, Durant, Pierce, Carmelo, Granger, and Rudy Gay on there as SF's.
Not sure how important these stats are. Shane Battier whipped West's butt in the playoffs. I don't see him on the list at all.
So screw the average and let's go for points scored? not wonder why you think he is so greatActually he IS 23rd, in points scored. There's no need to lie, the facts state the opposite of what you're saying well enough. You're using averages, I'm going by the points he actually scored.
It's also looks like West scored more points than Bosh, Howard and Rose on the playoffs last year so West > Howard,Rose and Bosh

If there were NBA2K13 style ratings for a Message Board game, you'd get a 0 for the common sense rating.
I bet Andrew Bynum is the greatest center evar! He has great averages. Who cares he only shows up half the time. "LOL", indeed.

Let's not degrade the site folks.
Bynum is not the best ever but he is pretty damn good, I don't know what are you laughing about? his average is good, yes he has health issues but he is still great and also there is not a reason for you to call me names
So after watching the back and forth, how about a declining contract with player/team options for 3 years? If 25 mil over 4 years with the first 2 years being the biggest hit to the cap, then if Hans, Ian or Plumlee step up to be the starter, we still have the leadership of West coming off the bench and in the locker room?
By the stats last year, David West is better than Zack Randolph. And so is 2/3 of the starting PFs. So by vnzla's logic.
Ryan Anderson>>>>>>>>Zack Randolph
And that wasn't my logic, somebody else has that logic, West scored more points than Zbo so West >>>>>>>> Zbo.
Yeah I don't agree with it. Randolph was injured and recoverying, so there is a reason why he averaged 13 ppg after a career year. Same with West.
He was coming back from an injury and I do not expect him to have the same start as he did last year. He will not be better offesnsivley than Aldridge, Dirk, Blake, Amare, KLove, JR Smith, Pau, Milsap, Bosh, Duncan, or Nene.
But I think he will be what we need for the price we can allot to that possession And I don't think any of those teams would ever trade for him, without us giving something else up.
And we can't overlook the leadership. Cause really a Nene skill set with a David West persona minus the doucheness is Kevin Garnett.*

And a good portion of his scoring is out of true low post moves. He's a better low post scorer than Roy at this point and draws doubles or defensive specialists (like Battier in the playoffs) to try to solve him. His game doesn't rely specifically on quickness, and in no way does it involve hops, so he's not about to be "too old" for his game.
As long as he keeps the shooting touch on the fade and has strength he should be pretty reliable to give guys fits in the post while stepping away if they overplay. I don't see any reason to expect a non-injury drop in the next 3 years.
Maybe a more accurate list of the West type of PFs in order of PPG last year. 6 RPG required, 1.0 or less 3PA per game required, 6'9" to 6'11" and listed as F or F-C only. Cousins is about the only center that ended up on the list. You lose Ryan Anderson and Kevin Love who do a lot of their scoring at the 3pt line. Anderson in particular has no inside scoring offense, nothing back to the basket like West.
This puts him about 14-15 in the NBA, and since many of these guys would require Hibbert or better money I'd say that he's about right for your 3rd highest paid guy.

In all honesty, if the Pacers are down by 1 or 2 points and in there last possession of the game, I would want the ball to go through West in the post. Why? He is a very capable scorer, he is very unselfish and he makes good decisions about when to shoot and when to dish off. I think Hill is similar, although perhaps not as good in the categories mentioned.
But, if you consider Hibbert, Granger and George, I believe all three are more selfish than the other two and not nearly as conscious about where we are in the shot clock when they are holding the ball.
Slam West all you want, but regardless of how many points, he is probably our best "team" player. He knows as well as any player on the floor what he should do and should not do with the ball nearly every time he touches it.
There is a reason it only took a couple of games last season for Hill and West to become my two favorites on the roster. I actually thought Hibbert would hold that title, but he dropped to #3.
Its not like Vogel took the same roster, after the Chicago meltdown where both the team and coach looked a long way from becoming playoff tested, to a team that looked like a legit playoff team capable of a deep run. Adding West and Hill was huge, and subtracting West after this season would be about as stupid as...
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
DWest is a much bigger part of this team than a 4-man who can play the 5. He's a great passer, solid rebounder, the most mature on the team and has a gameface that scares guards driving to the basket. His fire for the game is unmatched, and he's been training this offseason instead of rehabbing his knee. I expect him to have a huge year, and if the Pacers don't resign him the loss of his intangibles would be worse than his physical presence. He's a competitor, and if we don't win it all this year I think he'll want to stay and bring one home before he leaves for a lesser team with more money, just my 2 cents though
Love, Josh Smith,Ryan Anderson,Gasol, Dirk, Millsap, Andrea Bargnani,Amare, Zbo and Nene need to be on that list you posted, just because some of them shoot 3's and don't meet the requirements that you are talking about is not reason to punish them, at the end of the day they still play the position, what are you going to post next? players that go left more per game making West a top 5 left handed scorer?

Figured it was important for everyone to know that we can't extend West
Extend as in add years to his current contract before it expires at the end of the season? No we can't.
Re-signing him on the other hand, is a different matter. We don't have full Bird rights, but we can sign him to a non-Bird contract, I.e. 120% of his old contract. That should be more than enough to keep him if we're so inclined.
Do you ever wonder if the Pacers do actually see Paul George as more of a 3 instead of a 2 if maybe they just move Danny to the 4?
In today's NBA Danny at the 4 would be more than capable vs. most teams.
If so the team may be ok letting West walk if the money is not right & either signing another guard or re-signing D.J. Augistine to play along side Hill.
Danny matches up very well vs. a lot of 4's anyway and as he gets older he may progress to that position.
Lol JK
I agree that DG would be a much better player at the 4 as opposed to the 3--at this point in his career. It'd definitely open the floor more, and we wouldn't lose much on the defensive end. With PG being an above average rebounder, I don't think we would be killed on the boards either.
IMHO, even if we DID re-sign West, I'd rather move Danny to the 4 and West to the bench. As West gets older, he'd be a great scoring option to bring off the bench.
For me, the true question would be, what would we do with our other positions? DO we re-sign Augustine and move GH to the 2? Do we push Gerald Green to the starting lineup and leave GH at the 1? Do we use the money we would have used on West, to sign another wing player?
Keeping David West...
Doubt it!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL

Click here to view a video on projecting DCPs using KDMs; not so easy, is it?
Val Lewton, the 1940s film producer, once observed that making films was "like writing on water," since the film medium was so inherently fragile. But that's nothing compared to the new regime of Digital Cinema Packages.
The latest evidence of this comes from the New York Film Festival, where on September 28, 2012, Brian de Palma was scheduled to present his new film, Passion, to a sold out audience. But there was just one problem; since the movie came as a DCP, or Digital Cinema Package, and not an actual film print, when it came time to screen Passion, no one could unlock the files.
Result: no screening.
As Bob Cashill reported in the web journal Pop Dose, "In what was for me an unprecedented event in my decades of festival going, the screening was cancelled. Why?
Three words: Digital Cinema Package, or DCP.
What is DCP? It's heralded as the future of cinema projection, but really it's the present; chances are your local multiplex has gone DCP, as your local independently owned theater or repertory house struggles to find a way to pay for it as celluloid goes up in smoke. The brave new world of digital projection comes with pitfalls, however. Like, if the system malfunctions, and no one can get a grip on what went wrong, you're [out of luck], as the Film Society of Lincoln Center learned the hard way last night.
If you follow the festival at all you've been reading a lot about how Richard Peña, its programming director, is bowing out after 25 years of distinguished service. 'I bet he wishes he retired last year,' grumbled a fellow patron as we all exited Alice Tully Hall after more than an hour of waiting.
Peña, who had to keep coming onstage to deliver the worsening news, said that the DCP has been tested without incident minutes before showtime, but minus a code [the KDM, or Key Delivery Message, that] had somehow locked down. Minus someone who could fix the code . . . [and] that was it for the evening.
After a half hour or so of waiting Peña announced that audience members who couldn't stay could get refunds at the boxoffice. Only 10-15% seemed to. Which was touching; we wanted to see the movie and were willing to put up with the inconvenience . . . But it was out of Peña's hands, or De Palma's hands, or any human hands. It was a glitch in the machine, a hiccup in the software. And with that the 50th anniversary of the New York Film Festival was tainted."
Once upon a time, when you screened a film at a theater, you took the 35mm print out of the shipping case, threaded it up, checked the aspect ratio, focus, and sound level, and ran the film. If you wanted to do an additional screening for a critic, or add an extra show, you could. If you wanted to switch the movie from one screen to another in your theater, you could. If short, you had the time, and the freedom, to have some measure of control over the projection of the films you screened.
Not anymore.
With digital projection comes a series of encryption codes, called KDMs, which must be used to "unlock" the digital files for projection, often within windows as short as four hours. Switching screens or adding additional shows now has to be cleared with the distributor every time, usually by e-mail. You can't just pull the film and run it anymore. It has to be approved, and unlocked with a KDM, on a case-by-case basis.
As this excerpt from "Digital Cinema Technology: Frequently Asked Questions" notes, "KDM is the acronym for Key Delivery Message. The security key for each movie is delivered in a unique KDM, one KDM per per digital cinema server. The security key is encrypted within the KDM, which means that the delivery of a KDM to the wrong server or wrong location will not work, and thus such errors cannot compromise the security of the movie.
The KDM is a small file, and is typically emailed to the exhibitor. To create the correct KDM, however, requires knowledge of the digital certificate in the projection system's media block.
KDMs have only a few [emphasis added] conditions associated with their use:
A KDM will only work for one movie title on one server.
A KDM will only work within the prescribed engagement time period.
To play a movie on two servers requires two KDMs for the movie. This means that to move a movie to a 2nd server requires a 2nd KDM. The engagement time window of the KDM is set per the business requirements of the studio distributing the movie. If your KDM expires and you don't have a new KDM to continue on the engagement, then you cannot play the movie."
This is about hegemonic studio control; nothing more, or what theorist Tim Wu refers to as the desire to control "The Master Switch."
DCPs and KDMs take real authority away from the exhibitor; it's a hypersurveillance system that comes from the top down, and limits what theater owners can do. Digital projection may have many significant attributes — superior picture and sound, no scratches, clean, crisp images — but now movies don't really exist unless they're unlocked by the KDM, and have no portability. This is what the studios want. But I'm not sure it's good for the public, or critics, or exhibitors — a real measure of discretionary freedom has been lost.
Click here, or on the image at the top of this page, to view a demo video on how the process works.
This is an Orwellian future, nothing less.

Illinois police to set up check points to catch drunk drivers
Illinois State Police officials are warning drivers cops will be out in full force this holiday weekend. About 100 roadside safety checks are scheduled across the state in an effort to crack down on drunk driving. Over the past five Labor Days, 25 people have died from drunk drivers in Illinois.
Bob Park, with the state's Department of Transportation, said the number of fatalities from drunk drivers over the holiday weekend have dropped over recent decades.
"The culture has changed," Park said. "When you take a look at the statistics and you look at the death rate, I mean, having the lowest death rate sinec the 1920s, obviously what we're doing is working."
Police warn that most drunk driving incidents happen at night. Drivers caught under the influence could face jail time or have their license suspended.

Wada taking next step in rehab
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada, after tossing another encouraging bullpen session on Thursday, will now move on to more pitching-related activities as he continues his extensive rehab from Tommy John surgery last May.
Or, as manager Buck Showalter put it, he's ready to "progress to baseball functionability."
"It's exciting watching him throw," Showalter said. "It's a lot of work on his part. Now we move on to the next part of it and that's the baseball part of it -- locating his pitches, spinning the ball.
"Now it's about 'I'm working on something that helps me get people out,' as opposed to 'Am I healthy?'"
Wada, signed to a two-year, $8.15 million deal last offseason, made just one appearance at Triple-A Norfolk in 2012 before elbow issues abruptly ended his debut season. The 30-year-old had previously pitched professionally in Japan, totaling a 57-37 record with a 2.94 ERA in five seasons with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks.
With Wada's latest progressions, the Orioles remain hopeful the southpaw will be able to return by the end of May.
"It's exciting for everybody," Showalter said. "He can help us."

Overthinking It
Dylan Bundy, Elbow Injuries, and the Evidence That PRP Works
When the news broke yesterday that Orioles prospect Dylan Bundy would have to have Tommy John surgery, most of you probably wondered why he hadn't had it sooner.
It's been almost three months since we became aware of an issue with Bundy's elbow. The first reported red flag, "mild tightness," was followed by an MRI that showed no structural damage, a few weeks of rest, a visit to Dr. James Andrews—who prescribed more rest and a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection—and several more weeks out of action. Bundy recently resumed a throwing program, but he suffered a setback that sent him back to Dr. Andrews and, ultimately, the operating room.
All of this sounds familiar, since we've seen this pre-surgery sequence before. And it's extra frustrating for fans when a promising player spends half a season circling the drain; as disappointing as it is to lose someone like Bundy for a year or more, it's even more galling to think that the timetable for return was pushed back by a doomed attempt to escape the inevitable. Orioles blog Camden Chat summed up the feelings of many Baltimore fans on Tuesday, saying:
Instead, Bundy will be sidelined until at least mid-2014, even assuming that everything goes smoothly. (The prognosis for Tommy John patients has improved, but as Ryan Madson has found out the hard way, a complete recovery isn't assured.) Even aside from the risk, the O's had every reason to exhaust the non-surgical options before sending Bundy's UCL to the scrap heap: The rehab process is painful, time-consuming, and stressful, the Orioles need pitching help now, and Bundy isn't accruing service time while he's on the DL, since he was optioned to the minors before he got hurt. But to believe that Baltimore's conservative approach was a smart one, you need to see some sign that PRP can help heal an injured UCL. Otherwise, you might well ask why the Orioles would waste time that Bundy could have used to start working his way back.
Over at Sports Illustrated's "Strike Zone" blog, Cliff Corcoran listed several cases in which PRP failed to prevent surgery and noted how hard it was to find examples where it worked, concluding:
The same thoughts have crossed my mind. Like everyone else, I tend to fear the worst when I hear about elbow issues, as I discussed with Paul Sporer and Corey Dawkins on Effectively Wild in April after Chad Billingsley's attempt to forestall surgery with his own rest, rehab, and PRP program failed. (Sam Miller and I brought up that instinct again on today's episode.)
But sometimes our instincts are off. As a counterpoint to our collective fatalistic attitude about elbow injuries, allow me to present a paper with the attention-grabbing title, "Treatment of Partial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tears in the Elbow with Platelet-Rich Plasma." Authored by five doctors from the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, including the late Lewis Yocum, the paper was presented at a meeting of The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine in February and published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine in May. You'll need a subscription to read the full article, but the abstract is available online.
In short, there is evidence that PRP works on the injury Bundy had, and this paper provides it. The "background" section of the abstract acknowledges that prior to the paper's appearance, there were "no published reports of clinical outcomes of partial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears of the elbow treated with PRP." Now there's at least one, and it offers pretty strong support for the PRP procedure.
The paper charts the progress of 34 athletes with a partial-thickness UCL tear—like Bundy's—confirmed on MRI. All 34—27 of them baseball players, 16 of whom pitched—"had failed at least two months of nonoperative treatment and an attempt to return to play." They were subjected to a battery of tests, questionnaires, and measurements designed to provide a pre-PRP baseline that their progress could be compared to after the procedure. And then they received their injections.
The results were encouraging. After an average follow-up time of 70 weeks, 30 of the 34—88 percent—"had returned to the same level of play without any complaints." On average, it took them 12 weeks to get back into games, and the same tests they'd taken prior to PRP confirmed their improvement. Only one of the 34 had ligament reconstruction surgery in the period spanned by the study. It's important to note that there was no control group, so we don't know how many of the 34 might have made it back with rest and rehab but without PRP. But we do know that with PRP, almost all of them avoided going under the knife. Based on those results, the paper concludes that "PRP is an effective option to successfully treat partial UCL tears of the elbow in athletes."
Team doctors and trainers aren't stupid, and they probably wouldn't continue to waste time (and many millions of dollars) and stake their reputations on an experimental procedure with no history of success. The instances when the rest-and-rehab approach didn't pan out tend to stick in our minds more easily than the successes, and since players' PRP use isn't always public knowledge, we don't necessarily know when it works out. But what data we do have suggests that PRP is often worth the wait.
The next time I hear that someone is experiencing elbow soreness, I'll probably still catch myself assuming a season-ending injury. But there is some reason to hold out hope. And if rest, rehab, and PRP don't pay off, we can't conclude that they weren't worth trying.
Thanks to Corey Dawkins for tipping me off to the study.

Great article! It inspired a couple of questions:
Jun 28, 2013 04:21 AM
Another question this article raises is where Cory Dawkins' regular injury status column went to, and why it disappeared without an explanation.
Jun 28, 2013 05:04 AM
There were a few non-baseball players but there were 27 baseball players included in the study, 16 of which pitched.
Jun 28, 2013 05:46 AM
Eddie Bajek
What type of athletes are these? How many are pitchers? I would imagine, for example, that the strain on an athlete's UCL is different for a pitcher than for a first baseman or even a wide receiver or golfer (I mention golf, because Tiger Woods has a similar injury right now). While a general athlete may have high recovery rates, I could see that being much lower for pitchers.
Jun 28, 2013 06:59 AM
Good stuff, Ben and Corey. So at some level of granularity, no two tears are the same, correct? A partial tear implies less than 50 percent. Do physicians think in terms of, say, 10-20 percent tear vs. 60-70 percent torn? If so, it might also suggest that there is a threshhold above which PRP therapy would be viewed clinically as pointless or even counter-productive (in terms of putting off the inevitable).
Jun 28, 2013 07:17 AM
I think the surgery involves replacing the ligament with a substitute from elsewhere in the body, so the degree of the tear is not important. From previous stuff about this, I think anything more than about a 25% tear is thought to be unlikely to heal without surgery.
Jun 28, 2013 07:41 AM
You are correct, anything over 25% has been thought to be unlikely to heal on it's own but that was prior to PRP. The research is trying to figure out where that line will be with PRP.
Jun 28, 2013 07:44 AM
Is it easy to get a relatively accurate diagnosis as to what percentage of tear there is? Seems to me this might be a problem if Bundy had a clean MRI, but had enough of a tear that it couldn't heal with rest and PRP.
Jun 28, 2013 07:52 AM
Yes and no. On the MRIs you can get a rough idea but you won't be able to get it down to single percentage points, i.e. 56 vs 57%.
Jun 28, 2013 08:00 AM
Correct no two tears are exactly alike.
Jun 28, 2013 07:43 AM
I feel like we haven't fully acknowledged the risk that accompanies being sliced open with a knife. I think if there's evidence that non-surgical treatments can be effective, it's almost irresponsible to not explore that.
Jun 28, 2013 07:34 AM
Slow your roll, friends. This strikes me as an inappropriately strong conclusion for a study without a control group:
Jun 28, 2013 08:06 AM
No you are right, without a control group for a randomized controlled trial, specifics are hard to be drawn. That is why not every physician is doing PRP on cases of UCL injury.
Jun 28, 2013 08:21 AM
Thanks Corey, that makes a lot of sense.
Jun 28, 2013 08:34 AM
Why is it that everybody forgets that athletes actually have a say in whether or not their bodies will be cut on? Everybody is blaming the Orioles for the delay, and lost among the accusations is the fact that Bundy himself may very well have made the decision to explore all non-surgical options first. Surgery is not without risks. Athletes are people too, and most people try to avoid surgery when viable, potentially successful other options exist.
Jun 28, 2013 08:45 AM
Are we? I thought we were trying to figure out whether a delay makes any sense regardless of who makes the decision. I guess I'm less focused on the Bundy case than the larger implications.
Jun 28, 2013 09:25 AM
"...the O's had every reason to exhaust the non-surgical options before sending Bundy's UCL to the scrap heap..."
Jun 28, 2013 11:20 AM
Does the same apply to shoulder/rotator cuff tears, example Danny Espinosa? Or was it focused on elbow/ligament tears?

The general election will look to fill two seats on the Council, while the special election will ask voters to decide on continuing Measure V - a quarter-cent sales tax hike enacted by voters in 2010 on top of the state's sales tax - as well as five advisory measures on how that money will be spent if voters approve the tax.
A resolution approving the general election and tax measure were approved unanimously by the five-member council without comment of any kind.
Mayor Skip Davies and Councilman Bill Marble are incumbents, though Davies said at his swearing-in ceremony in July 2012 that he would be retiring after his term is complete in 2014.
Vice Mayor Tom Stallard, Councilmen Jim Hilliard and Sean Denny were also sworn in after the June 2012 election and their terms expire in 2016.
It is expected that the City Council will act over the next few months to finalize plans for a November 2014 election to establish district elections for council members. If voters approve that plan, then those councilmembers seeking election in 2016 would do so within individual districts.
Stallard was originally appointed to the council in February 2011 after an incomplete term by Jeff Monroe. Stallard campaigned for the 2012 election, and by virtue of receiving the most votes is designated as vice mayor. Traditionally, Stallard would rotate into the position of mayor when Davies' term ends.
Council elections are held every even-numbered year and are consolidated by Yolo County with other elections held on the same date, according to city staff.
In keeping with the required deadlines, the Board of Supervisors will be asked to take action regarding elections at its Feb. 11 meeting. The board requires at least two weeks advance notice to place items on its agenda.
At the City Council's Dec. 17 meeting, councilmen OK'd Measure V's extension for another eight years. It will be up to voters in June whether or not they agree with that effort.
Measure V was a temporary revenue measure approved by voters in 2010 to help offset the city's budget crisis at the time, and expires in June.
The quarter-cent sales tax brings in about $2 million to the General Fund annually, and monies are being used consistently with its advisory measures that provided that 30 percent be allocated to support the Woodland Public Library, 30 percent for park maintenance, landscape maintenance and senior programs, and 40 percent in support of police and fire services.
As part of the June vote on Measure V, people will also be asked how they would like that tax money spent.
As proposed:
n 60 percent would be spent to expand and enhance youth and teen programs and facilities, including funding to support the re-opening of Hiddleson Pool, and reduction of fees charged for youth programs and use of city recreation facilities.
n 20 percent would be used to enhance educational and youth literacy programs and expand the hours of operation at the Woodland Public Library.
n 15 percent would be used to enhance public safety through expanded crime prevention programs such as Neighborhood Watch and services supporting at-risk youth including gang intervention strategies.
n 5 percent would be used to support a city water and sewer utility ratepayers assistance program for low-income residents.
If approved, Measure V taxes would "sunset," or end in 2022, unless there was another effort to continue them.

Grandal to make return to San Diego today
SEATTLE -- Catcher Yasmani Grandal, who was suspended for the first 50 games of the season, will be in uniform tonight when the Padres face the Mariners at Safeco Field.
Grandal officially came off the restricted list Tuesday afternoon and catcher John Baker was optioned to Triple-A Tucson.
In November, it was announced that Grandal would miss the first 50 games after he tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
Grandal had been playing with Tucson since May 18, as he was allowed to play in 10 games at the Minor League level before his suspension was up. He hit .306 in nine games with three doubles and two RBIs in 36 at-bats.
Grandal flew to Seattle on Monday and will be on the 25-man active roster when the Padres play the second of two games against the Mariners.
"He's ready," said Padres manager Bud Black.
Baker was hitting .150 in 40 at-bats. He said he wasn't totally surprised by the news, yet he was disappointed.
"The writing was kind of on the wall," Baker said. "It will be nice to be able to play. I'm disappointed in how I swung the bat when I was here. But it's an opportunity for me to get some at-bats."
Other than a Minor League rehabilitation assignment in Triple-A in 2011 when he was with the Marlins, Baker hasn't played in the Minors since '08.
"I'm happy for the opportunity to try and find myself," Baker said.
It's unclear how the Padres will use Grandal. Catcher Nick Hundley, who was 1-for-3 on Monday, is hitting .252 this season but only .143 (8-for-56) in May.
Last season, Grandal ran away with the starting catching duties after he was promoted for a second time on June 30. In his first start, he hit home runs from each side of the plate against the Rockies. He had a .297/.394/.469 line with eight home runs and 36 RBIs in 192 at-bats with the Padres.
"The Padres have given me great backup. My teammates have been great. I've got nothing to say about that. They've backed me up 100 percent," Grandal said last week, while Tucson was playing in Omaha.
Grandal worked out with the team in Spring Training and played in nine games. He remained behind when the Padres broke camp in late March and played with the club's extended spring training team until he was able to join Tucson for a period not to surpass 10 days.

Robotic picking machines could begin to help reduce the need for fruit harvesters by 80% or more within the decade.
Manoj Karkee, an assistant professor with the Center for Precision and Automated Agricultural Systems at Washington State University, Prosser, said a research team has been awarded a grant of $548,000 over three years from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop tree fruit harvesting technology where robots and humans work together.
The research team hopes to assist in delivering a robotic machine to harvest apples that could be commercialized in the next decade, Karkee said.
Karkee said there has been some work on components of a robotics pickers.
"We don't have a complete working prototype yet, but I think within a year from now we will be putting all those components together and have something working in the laboratory," he said.
Funding for the research was awarded through the National Robotics Initiative, a joint program of the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute for Food and Agriculture, National Institutes of Health and National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
From the prototype in the lab, researchers hope to be able to deploy a field model by 2016 for field evaluation. Commercial prototypes could be available within 10 years, he said.
There have been ongoing efforts around the world to develop robotic harvesters but none have been successfully commercialized.
Hidden fruit
One of the major difficulties those projects to develop robotic machines to harvest apples and citrus have encountered is the inability for the machines to see fruit hidden by the tree's canopy. In the past, those systems could only find about two-thirds of fruit.
That drawback is a major focus of the WSU research effort, and Karkee said the focus is on using human intelligence with robotic pickers to guide their efforts when needed.
In addition, the machine will take images of fruit from both sides of the canopy. Together, the measures could increase the capability to identify nearly all the fruit.
Meanwhile, Karkee said the robotic arm to pick fruit will be enhanced with research that will study how human workers pick apples and use that knowledge to change the way robot arms pick.
"We are hoping and believe that will help to bring the technology much closer to commercialization, which hasn't been happening in the past even with the sustained effort of the last three or four decades," he said.
Karkee believes the robotic system should save up to 90% of the labor currently used picking fruit, which would be a significant incentive for growers to embrace the technology.
"If we don't get labor use reduced 50% or 60% off the current level, growers won't be very interested in it," he said.

The casual spot, with outdoor tables and counter service, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as live music on Sunday and Thursday evenings.
Owner Amy Breidenbach's other waterside restaurant, Catfish Max, did not fare as well. "We had to take it down," Breidenbach said, adding that the construction of a new bulkhead involves a lot of time. "For now," she said, "there's nothing there."

Posted 6 years ago
(28 items)
The item:
What we have here is Steiff's Pavian Coco or Coco Baboon. This is one of the most unusual and sought after post war items in the Steiff catalog. Coco is 35 cm, five ways jointed, and made from very thick silver mohair. He has a long bendable tail and very realistic grey felt hands and feet – with each toe and finger clearly defined. Like his distant cousin Jocko the Chimpanzee, Coco has a peach colored felt face and ears, as well as expressive deep-set eyes in felt pockets. One of the things that make Coco one of the most distinctive animals in the entire Steiff archive is his remarkable hair collar, which is made from mohair strands that are about 5 inches long! He does need a brushing every now and again to keep him untangled. Coco was produced from 1951 through 1958 and then again in 1961.
Although apes and chimps have been part of the Steiff catalog since its debut edition in 1892, baboons are a relative latecomer to the line. The first – and only prewar – Steiff baboon appeared in the catalog from 1931 through 1935 in 22, 28, 35, 43, 50, 60, and 70 cm. He was standing and five ways jointed; below the waist he was made from short brown mohair while above the waist he was made in very long brown tipped mohair. His hands, feet, and face were made from velvet and gorgeously hand painted.
Right after the factory reopened for business in the very late 1940's, work began on creating an entire new range of "modern" items –including dogs, cats, bears, jungle, and farm animals - to again position Steiff as the leader in precious mohair collectibles. Baboons were key in this strategy. In addition to this larger 35 cm Coco, the company introduced "Coco", a standing grey mohair baboon with a distinctive fur "mane" and piercing eyes. He was produced in 10, 14, and 22 cm from 1952 through 1970; a 25 cm version on eccentric red wooden wheels was available from 1951 though 1961.
Where I got him:
Coco is very special to me, not only because he is such an interesting, strange, and hard to find item, but also as he is from the collection of my friend and mentor, Dick Frantz. Dick is the beloved, long time Steiff archivist here in the United States. Dick was a featured speaker as well as exhibitor/dealer at the 2005 Festival of Steiff, held in Plymouth, Massachusetts. I had spotted Coco in Dick's booth during the pre-show set up. I couldn't get the baboon out of my mind and actually snuck back into the sales room after the evening event to make sure Coco was still on display. Seeing that he was, I found Dick in the reception area and immediately made an "after hours" offer for him. I was delighted when he agreed, and I have been "loco for this Coco" ever since!

Q What is the law or policy on memorials people create on the side of the road where a loved one was killed in an accident? Surely it is not legal for anyone to build a personal memorial on public property and leave it.
Once erected it is there forever and often ends up being an unsightly pile of trash. The two I have mind at this time are on Interstate 680 north just before Rudgear Road in Walnut Creek and in Concord at Marsh and Center streets, which has been there for many, many years.
I finally got someone in a county maintenance department who had it cleaned it up and two weeks later it was rebuilt!
Susan Sterling
A Memorials like these are illegal, as safety officials say they can be distracting to motorists. But sympathetic road crews often let them stand until flowers wilt and other items turn trashy. This can be several months. The state does allow blue signs paid for by relatives and friends of drunk-driving victims to be posted at the scene of their deaths.
A few years ago Contra Costa County cracked down on roadside memorials along Highway 4 connecting Antioch and Brentwood because they were deemed a traffic hazard.
Q I've been noticing a lot of eighteen-wheelers in the fast lane on the San Mateo Bridge eastbound at 5:30 a.m. And I've seen an empty AC Transit Transbay bus in the fast lane two different times in one week, westbound at about 4 p.m. It was holding up a lot of traffic because it was going about 50 mph. Are the rules different on the bridge than on the regular highways?
Dina Love
San Mateo
A No. Big rigs must remain in the right lane on a three-lane roadway, but can move one lane to their left to pass. However, buses can use any lane.
Q This has always bothered me regarding using a cellphone while driving. Where I have a problem is the idea that you can't use a GPS on your phone or check your calendar. How is that different from looking at a map or your Day-Timer (do they still exist?) while operating a car? Could you explain what is and what is not OK to do?
Angie Ferone
San Jose
A It is not legal to use a cellphone for GPS or other purposes. And Diana-the-CHP-Lady adds:
"I always try to appeal to logic. People don't necessarily like being told they can't do something. They appreciate understanding why they shouldn't do something.
"Angie is absolutely right in that there is not a specific law to make reading a map illegal. But because there isn't a law, it still doesn't mean the act is safe. The removal of your eyes from the road in which you travel for any amount of time while driving can be dangerous.
"The reason is twofold. First there is the fact that your visual horizon would be impaired. You don't have a clear view of what is ahead. The second factor is that your concentration has now left the operation (driving) of the vehicle and is focused on something else entirely (looking at the directions).
"Although many individuals have probably used their cellphones at different times to text or call (or have done other things that would be defined as distracting), and they haven't been involved in a collision, there may be a certain comfort level with doing it a second, third and more times. When we get comfortable in our cars and we start doing other things besides driving we become the hazard. So that person driving down the road trying to read a map or day planner is most likely to weave outside their lane, slow in speed, or drive directly behind another vehicle. Any of these are unsafe and can cause a collision."

Duluth, Ga. -- NCR Corp. announced that DSW Inc. will expand its use of NCR Advanced Store point-of-sale software to offer DSW shoppers mobile POS functionality and returns throughout the chain.
DSW will also implement NCR's enterprise returns capability; ensuring customers get the correct refund for the correct item easily – with or without a receipt. DSW benefits also include a clear and accurate record of all purchases and subsequent returns available anywhere in the store, reducing losses linked to returns.
DSW worked with NCR's Global Consulting Group to design an engaging mobile POS experience for customers and store associates. NCR consultants helped DSW define an achievable mobile POS program for their stores that provides associates ways to better serve customers throughout the store and to generate more sales.
"DSW's mission is to optimize the consumer experience in our stores making it easy and efficient for consumers to purchase the shoes they love," said DSW EVP of store operations Carrie McDermott. "Deployment of mobile point of sale in our stores is designed to enable our store associates to get closer to the customer, making purchasing information and even the checkout process in the aisle versus at a traditional checkout lane. Along with our new returns systems, customer service will be enhanced to a new and exciting level as the systems are introduced."

THE effects of subsidence on properties close to the Regent Circus development are worse than originally feared, a meeting between residents and contractors revealed on Friday night.
It was already known there were major issues with the Rehoboth Strict Baptist Chapel in Prospect Hill but property owners at the meeting revealed the problem is far more widespread, with cracks appearing in houses and businesses all along Cross Street.
ISG Construction, which is building the leisure complex, has promised to speak with any residents affected and repair any damage caused by the works.
At the meeting, ISG director Rob Martin said: "We will put right any problems caused by this development. It is our responsibility to fix things.
"We will finish our work and then look at the problems in the properties. We will then monitor them until we are confident there will be no more issues."
It also emerged at the meeting that while the recent heavy rain fall had been a factor, ISG has been monitoring the site since August after detecting movement.
But many residents still had worries about the long-term effects of any damage after the meeting, which was held in the Swindon Council chamber in Euclid Street.
Polly Strange, of Cross Street, said: "We had absolutely no problems before the work started and now there are cracks several millimetres wide.
"I am worried that when I come to sell the property this will show up and affect the value, even after the work has been repaired.
"I don't know exactly if it was caused by the subsidence, because with all the machinery the house has been constantly shaking, which might also have caused it.
"The cracks though have definitely appeared since the work started. I just hope they do fix it and don't pass the blame."
The meeting was organised by South Swindon MP Robert Buckland and run by Peter Green, secretary of resident group Swindon Back Garden.
Peter said: "The meeting showed that the problem is far more widespread than we initially thought but I am convinced ISG are committed to helping with the problem.
"The next stage now is to look in more detail at the problem and move forward from there.
"It has also emerged after the meeting that several houses have also been contacted by building firms offering to fix problems. People need to ignore these as ISG have already said they will fix any damage."
