In 2011 our Governor's School program in English Studies completed its third year and its first summer as a full-length venture. Students were introduced to the broad range of disciplines within English Studies, completed a variety of exercises and brief writings within each area, produced a film adaptation of a short story, and embarked on intensive independent projects. They also built their own online magazines from the ground-up—conceiving, designing, editing, and writing for these publications in a process very close to what real scholars experience.

POLL: Lawmakers split: Should Gulf oil spill end Florida offshore drilling debate?
NAPLES - Deepwater Horizon Response Wildlife Hotline: (866) 557-1401, e-mail email@example.com
National Audubon Society's list of volunteers: http://www.audubonaction.org
Training and volunteer information for Florida volunteers: Gail Straight (941) 778-6324
Emergency information hot line at 1-800-342-3557
When discussion of offshore oil drilling in state waters was tabled in April by the Florida Legislature, state Rep. Dean Cannon promised to renew the discussion next year.
It may be a different conversation altogether when it comes up again — if it comes up at all.
Cannon's proposal to open state waters to drilling 3 miles off the Florida coast was shelved four days before an oil rig explosion jarred the Louisiana coastline, killing 11 people and spewing thousands of barrels of crude oil into Gulf waters each day.
Cannon's office released a statement this week in which he agreed with Florida U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson's call for a full investigation of the spill.
"Until we have all of the facts and all the answers about what happened and why, we cannot and should not move forward," Cannon, R-Winter Park, said in the written statement.
Local legislators say the debate around drilling in Florida's state waters will never be the same.
"I'm sure this completely changed the way people are going to look at this," said state Rep. Trudi Williams, a Republican whose district covers Lee County and part of Collier County. "I'm an engineer, so I can't imagine there weren't (underwater) shut-off valves. ... I think everybody is really going to take a good look at this. Offshore drilling done right is a good thing."
She wouldn't go so far as to say she strictly opposes offshore drilling now, but said oil rig operators and owners will have to demonstrate better use of safety measures before she would even consider allowing drilling in state waters.
Southwest Florida's state senators, Democrat Dave Aronberg and Republican Garrett Richter, belong to different parties but shared the same sentiment: public memory of the oil spill, and its potential effects on Florida beaches, will not easily fade.
"I think because of the current circumstances, that offshore drilling is not going to be a topic anyone will want to pick up," Richter, of Naples, said of future legislative sessions. "I think that certainly public opinion was not overly supportive to begin with, and now with the circumstances that we're under right now, I don't think there will be any political appetite for it."
A January poll by Quinnipiac University in Connecticut showed that 53 percent of Floridians were opposed to drilling within 5 miles of the Florida coast; on the other hand, it showed 55 percent of Floridians supported drilling in federal waters farther off the coast.
President Barack Obama announced a plan to lift the federal offshore drilling ban just last month, but has since said the proposal is on hold pending an investigation of the rig collapse and subsequent oil leak.
"It exposes the myth that we were being told that offshore oil drilling is risk-free," said Aronberg, whose cross-state district includes south Lee County. "I think that all along, I've been calling for a slowdown to this rush of 'Drill, baby, drill,' and I think nothing proves this point better than this disaster."
Dave Mica, executive director of the Florida Petroleum Council, said it is too soon to speculate on long-term policy implications. The Florida Petroleum Council supports drilling in federal and state waters.
"The Legislature adjourned just last Friday," Mica said. "Right now the industry's focus is on the response to this. ... We as an industry know the reality is that we have to supply Florida with 25 million gallons of gasoline and 9.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas every day for the foreseeable future. Large amounts of that resource come off of Florida's coast, in the Gulf of Mexico, and we're going to need to explore, develop and produce oil and gas for Florida."
State Rep. Tom Grady, a Naples Republican, said the discussion of drilling in state waters needs to continue.
"I think anyone that has gotten in their car and driven anywhere since the tragedy needs to be willing to entertain the discussion," Grady said, referring to rising gas prices. "We continue to close our eyes to the reality that people need oil and gas."
But fellow Rep. Matt Hudson said the reality seems to be that a state drilling plan will not materialize for years to come — he said it likely will take that long to complete an investigation into the explosion. He lamented the loss of human life from the explosion, and said he feared that is being overshadowed in the discussion of environmental effects.
"I think this issue certainly brings a heightened awareness to the fact that things can happen," said Hudson, a Naples Republican. "And we need to make sure the technology is there to make sure it doesn't happen again. ... The practical side of it is we won't have all of the answers for a very, very long time."
All of this adds up to one thing that members of Southwest Florida's legislative delegation can agree on: discussion of drilling for oil in Florida's waters likely will be put on hold until the cause of the Deepwater Horizon explosion can be investigated, and better safeguards put into place.
"Depending on what happens, we may be dealing with the remnants of this for a decade from now, two decades from now," Richter said.
Even if worst-case scenarios don't come to pass, Aronberg said, memories may be short in politics: "But I think that this one is going to last a while longer in the consciousness of the people of Florida.
"We still have budget problems, but I think the people of Florida will remember this for a long time."

Big Island mayor signs tobacco buying age billUPDATED 7:23 PM HST Dec 19, 2013
Big Island Mayor Billy Kenoi signs bill that raises tobacco buying age from 18 to 21.Video Transcript
LATE breaking this afternoon... Big Island Mayor Billy Kenoi just signed a law that raises the tobacco buying age from 18 to 21. The ceremonial bill signing took place at the Mayor's office. The law INCLUDES the sale of e-cigarettes. The Hawaii County Council unanimously passed the bill last month -- saying it's in the best interest of public health and safety. 1:12 -1:25 "WHAT THIS NEW LAW IS IS IT'S A PREVENTION TOOL. IT'S A TOOL TO HELP YOUTH WHO, MOST OF THEM START SMOKING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, NOT BECOME DAILY USERS WHEN THEY TURN 18." The law prohibits the sale of tobacco products to customers under 21 years old -- but would allow people 18 and over to smoke. Stores that sell to customers under 21 would be fined up to two-thousand dollars. The law goes into effect July FIRST. BUT if you're 18 BEFORE it takes effect -- you'll still be able to

Glaring Problems Flaw Great Piece
Although you have a very proffessional and talents graphical style which is very refreshing on Newgrounds, your movies never seem to impress me. You have half of the work done as far as graphics, but I simply CANNOT follow this story, its totally out there. I think a better use of your talent could be made if you tried to stay on a more lifelike subject, and not some totally wierd science fictiony thing like this.
And as far as the important things go you seem to have everything down, but you totally drop the ball on certain things, such as sounds and details. For instance, I never knew tasers shot scribble, and that a person could make the same exact fuzzy mumble 5 times in a row. Im sorry but this was just ... bad. I couldn't bring myself to think of any redeeming qualities other than the Graphics, which often plague this as everyone seems to be moving in robot like paces, totally unfluid and strange.
In my opinion, you deserve to make better work. Goodluck.

great excellent awsome divine
this was a great piece of flash i really enjoyed it especially the part with that clip of audio from texas chainsaw massacre keep it up u rock!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Very good
This was extremly good. Your graphics are great, your sound is great (and matches the mouths, that's always a plus :p) and the storyline is quite good. My only complaints, if you can call them that, are the electric shock that was administered to keep him quite looked a bit too much like scribbles, but that did not take away from the movie, and the diabolical laughter I thought should have been louder, or mroe diabolical. It seemed either not diabolical enough or not loud enough, it threw me a bit.
Anyway, job well done!

Although the contraceptive pill has been hugely successful, remembering to take it every day can be a problem. Alternative delivery methods such as implants and injections, meanwhile, have proved unpopular. The contraceptive patch could fill the middle ground, potentially cutting unwanted pregnancies - but will it? Datamonitor women's health analyst Jane Richardson cuts through the hype...
Intercell has acquired Iomai for $189 million, in a deal motivated by the Austrian company's desire to gain ownership of Iomai's traveler's diarrhea vaccine and transdermal delivery technology. With the potential to deliver both vaccine and adjuvant, independently, through Iomai's transdermal patch, Intercell's development of its proprietary adjuvant IC31 may also benefit from the technology.
Following a fall in MMR coverage after the 1998 Wakefield report linking the triple jab to autism, new research suggests it could be difficult to restore pre-scare vaccine coverage levels, leaving the country open to a potentially serious outbreak of preventable diseases. Parents need access to full clinical data on vaccines so they can make a properly informed decision.
Generics giant Teva [TEVA] has agreed to acquire Italian generics company Dorom from Pfizer for $80 million, becoming the largest generics company in Italy. Over the longer term, continued geographical expansion will counteract Teva's recent share price drop and reduce the company's dependence on key branded products like Copaxone.
Targeted therapies have improved treatment outcomes in cancer notably, becoming the leading therapy class in the oncology market. As a result, they are expected to achieve sales of over $42 billion by 2017. Eight more marketed brands are set to achieve blockbuster status over the 10-year forecast period, driven by the persistent unmet need that still exists across a number of tumor types.
The House of Lords committee was set up to review the ethical implications of allowing human embryonic cloning for research into degenerative diseases.

Particularly after the recent restrictions imposed in the US, a 'reverse brain drain' of investment from the US to Europe could be on the cards.
Nasacort, a nasal steroid used in allergic rhinitis, has been approved for the treatment of children aged two to five years old. Although the breadth of its label is now similar to that of some of its competitors, Datamonitor does not expect that the expanded approval will have a significant impact on sales.
News that the FDA has not yet given full approval for a new formula of Sanofi-Aventis's Ambien throws a spanner in the works of the company's bid to prevent generic erosion of the blockbuster's revenues. It is a familiar story in big pharma these days: the sector needs to find a long-term solution to the generic threat by focusing on the R&D opportunities offered in the biotech sector.
Roche's acquisition of Disetronic looks set to boost its presence in the diabetes market. But its enthusiasm will be tempered by news that the spin-off of its vitamin business will reap lower rewards than expected, while further funds must be set aside to settle price rigging claims. Even so, Roche and Disetronic will enjoy some valuable synergies.
JTT-705, which Roche is to license from Japan Tobacco, is a novel anti-dyslipidemic that will further enhance the company's cardiovascular risk factor offering. This latest move could ultimately place Roche in a potentially advantageous position in the growing metabolic syndrome market, though it marks only the start of a long process to increase its currently meager offering in this field.

Ejercito visits Enrile at PNP hospital-A A +A
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
SENATOR Joseph Victor "JV" Ejercito visited Wednesday detained Senate Minority Floor Leader Juan Ponce Enrile in his hospital suite at the Philippine National Police (PNP) General Hospital in Camp Crame.
Ejercito said the frail condition of his 90-year-old colleague was "very noticeable" but he did not hear any complain from Enrile regarding his current state.
"Never ko siya (Enrile) narinig na umangal. Actually kami 'yung nahihirapan para sa kanya sa liit ng kanyang kwarto pero with JPE (Enrile) himself, wala siyang angal or whatsoever. Lahat ng dumalaw doon whether doctor, official na mag-rarandom check, lahat pinapasalamatan niya (Enrile)," he said.
"He's very happy with the way the PNP is giving him, the respect and courtesy. Wala siyang angal," Ejercito added.
He said politics was not discussed during his 45-minute visit.
He said he sought for the veteran politician's guidance on current issue particularly the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) fund controversy.
"'Manong, noong isang taon anim tayo, ngayon dahil kayo at si Senator Jinggoy (Estrada) nakadetain na, apat na lang kaming naiwan sa minority tapos 'yung dalawa may kaso pa'," Ejercito said he told Enrile.
"Sabi niya mag-concentrate lang daw sa performance, sa economic numbers, para malaman ang tunay na estado ng ating bansa, so 'yun lang 'yung kanyang concern, ekonomiya," he said.
Ejercito said Enrile was also concerned on the security of the country citing the ongoing dispute in the West Philippine Sea.
Asked why he did not visit his half-brother, Senator Jinggoy Estrada who is detained at the PNP Custodial Center, which is located few meters away from the PNP General Hospital, he said he wanted the "situation to cool down" first before paying him a visit.
Estrada and Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla is Enrile's co-accused in the plunder and graft charges related to the alleged misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
Ejercito earlier signed a Senate committee report recommending the filing of criminal charges against the three senators for allegedly amassing millions of pesos in kickbacks through their PDAF allocations.
"Pag naramdaman kong mejo tamang panahon na at mejo malamig na siguro. Di naman tinago na bago sumurrender si Jinggoy, kami ay hindi nagka intindihin at meron na kaming di pinagkasunduan lalong lalo na ang aking pag-pirma so siguro pag malamig lamig na 'yung sitwasyon ay ako'y dadalaw na rin," he said.
He also cited the tightened visiting rules at the PNP Custodial Center where senators Estrada and Revilla are detained.
"Mejo naghigpit sakanila simula nung may nangyari nung nagkaron ng mejo tumagal ang mga bisita so ayoko naman na maging dahilan pa ng paghihigpit sa kanila," the lawmaker said.
Ejercito said he would seek first the approval of PNP chief Director General Alan Purisima before visiting his brother and colleague in their detention cells. (Sunnex)

A dominating performance by Hofstra let them take control of the game in the second half, beating Princeton 9-5. What started as a tightly contested game gave way to Hofstra dictating the pace of play, firing almost twice as many shots, and winning more than twice as many groundballs as Princeton. With the Tigers leading 3-2 at 4:47 into the second quarter, the Pride would break the game open, scoring seven of the next eight goals, taking over the game and leading to the Hofstra victory.
Princeton jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, but it was quickly tied when Hofstra's junior attackman Athan Iannucci netted his first of two on the day. The Tigers then jumped back on top when junior attackman Pete Trombino grabbed a lose ball in front of the cage and buried it. The scoring exchange would continue when tick-for-tat passing by Hofstra ended with a goal by redshirt freshman middie Ed Wansor.
The Tigers would enjoy their last lead of the day when the ball was pushed up field, and Trombino found freshman middie Josh Lesko who put away the fast break goal.
From then on Hofstra fell into an offensive groove. Out of the confusion in front of the Princeton cage senior attackman Chris Unterstein found his brother, sophomore middie Mike Unterstein, who tucked the ball around Princeton's sophomore goalie Alex Hewit. The Pride would add another to take the lead at the half when senior middie John Keysor blew by his man and cranked back a rocket over Hewit's shoulder.
Hofstra opened the second half controlling the ball for the first six minutes of the third quarter. Chris Unterstein got himself a goal as he charged from the wing towards the near post. As the slide came, Unterstein tucked in the goal. Princeton would interrupt the scoring briefly, as junior attackman Scott Sowanick put his defender on his ass with a dodge and bounced a shot between Hofstra's senior keeper Matt Southard's legs.
The Pride took over again, rattling off four straight goals. Keysor netted another almost exactly like his first, a hard drive down and a ripper on the run. Rob Bonaguro gunned in one from the top of the box with a sidearm fire through a screen that beat Hewit off his hip on the Tim Treubig assist. Hofstra would ad a man-up goal when Keysor worked the ball at X and dumped it over the cage where Iannucci more-or-less slapped it in. As if things weren't already rolling for Hofstra, Hewit let in an own goal as the ball just fell out of his stick and bounced back into the cage. The goal was credited to Hofstra senior defenseman John Orsen.
Princeton would try to start a late rally as freshman middie Mark Kolver hit senior middie Jim O'Brien at the top of the box. O'Brien cranked and tallied what would be the last score of the day for Princeton, as they would lose 9-5.
Hewit snagged 13 saves, but good ball movement and sharp outside shooting got the best of him. Southard made only six saves, resting on the tough play of his defense who batted down passes, blocked shots, thwarted drives, and ate up groundballs.
As the Pride start rolling, head coach John Danowski credits his seniors for the team's success, but he doesn't let the team revel in their recent upstaging of some top programs. He sees tough love as the best way to keep his team playing at their bests.
"You've gotta keep your foot on their necks," Danowski said. "You've got to be hard on them."
Princeton will look to right themselves after two tough losses to Virginia and Hofstra when Butler comes to New Jersey on Friday. Hofstra will face Notre Dame on Saturday.
Danowski is just trying to take the season one game at a time still and not get too confident about the strong play he has seen out of his team. He will wait until later in the season to judge where his team fits amongst rest of Division I.
"It's so early. Jeez, it's not even spring yet," Danowski said. "There's so much lacrosse left to be played."

ABSTRACT: This study examined intercorrelations among health-promoting beliefs and
behaviors, perceived stress, and college adjustment among postsecondary students. Six
hundred thirty-two college freshmen enrolled in introductory psychology courses at a
public southeastern university completed an online survey. The Salutogenic Wellness
Promotion Scale (SWPS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and College Adjustment Test
(CAT) served as measures for primary variables of interest. Results indicated, for males
and females (a) a strong negative correlation between perceived stress and college
adjustment, (b) a significant positive association among health-promoting beliefs and
behaviors and college adjustment, and (c) a significant negative association among
health-promoting beliefs and behaviors and perceived stress. Intrapersonal variables
such as self-appraisal of coping and optimism were the most beneficial health-promoting
factors. Implications for future research, prevention,

You can't call Erik Sten the boy wonder any longer.
Yeah, he's still in his 30s. Sure, his gap-toothed smile and the awkward way his suit drapes over his shoulders remind you of your little brother.
But after nine tumultuous years in City Hall, Sten is Portland's most veteran elected official. He's a long way from his first election to the City Council in 1996, when the fresh-faced progressive wunderkind cruised around town in a broken-down revamped 1960s milk truck called the Stenmobile.
"That kind of floored me when I thought about it,'' says former City Commissioner Gretchen Kafoury, who brought Sten into City Hall as a twentysomething staffer. "The baby-faced kid is the senior member?''
Now a little less baby-faced, a lot more battle-scarred and with a 16-month-old son, Sten is all grown up and has become Portland's premier political juggler with an unerring knack for center stage.
Mayor Tom Potter may have more grandfatherly gravitas, Randy Leonard more shoot-from-the-hip bluster, Dan Saltzman more mind-numbing wonkiness and Sam Adams more 24-7 energy. But when it comes to the combination of sheer smarts, savvy and ambition, Sten has no peer among his council colleagues.
Consider the Sten agenda.
To the delight of admirers and dismay of critics, Sten has steered the city toward a multibillion-dollar acquisition of Portland General Electric. He helped engineer last year's election of Potter as mayor by grabbing the former police chief's ear early and setting booby traps aplenty for mayoral candidate (and fellow commissioner) Jim Francesconi. He has ramrodded a plan for publicly funded city election campaigns to a vote scheduled for today. He has pushed the council to do something about homelessness, and he was a player in Portland's pullout from the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
To a portion of Portland's downtown business crowd, Sten comes off as a lefty who has no idea how to meet a payroll and makes them see red-or at least pink.
To others, he's the boy blunder who screwed up the Water Bureau.
But love him or hate him, you cannot deny the sheer reach of Sten's juggling act-or the size of his political balls.
We thought it was time to sit Sten down and run him through the gauntlet. What's up with PGE? Is it true he wants to run the Portland Development Commission? What's so corrupt about city politics, anyway? And most important, where is the Stenmobile?
WW: Should we trust a city takeover of PGE and trust Erik Sten to take the lead on this, when you were the commissioner who had the Water Bureau when the billing system screwed up?
Erik Sten: It's the best argument so far, and I respect that. I've actually had a lot of fun with this, because I've said that my experience being spokesperson and top executive of the water-bill fiasco makes it clear I don't want to run this. I've seen what happens when you get into those kind of positions.
But this will have a bigger impact on the economy than all of the economic-development programs the state is running combined. There has been a paid campaign by Texas Pacific and PGE executives against this effort, and the best they're able to do is, "You don't want Erik to run this." If you read the Oregonian editorials, it's a constant change of direction as to why they're against it. Every time they're against it, they get overwhelmed and come up with something else. I think if I wasn't being so aggressive on these issues, I would have put the water bills a little further behind me than I have. But I actually get some strength from the fact that that is not a substantive argument.
But hasn't the city spent a lot of money going after PGE?
We spent about a million dollars the first time around. You can't get anything worthwhile done without investing in it. And so we put a million dollars against a potential billion dollars in savings. I think the biggest argument against what we're doing is that we're taking the risk for the whole region. This time around we're spending more, but it's with the sense that this deal is very real at this point.
There's no risk-free path. Most politics involves coming up with the least risky way to claim your goals. That's what most politicians do. The risk ultimately rests with the customers. They are the ones who are going to eat the bills. But I think, under our model, the ratepayer has an enormous financial head start on any problems that may develop. So the challenge becomes if we can get equally good management in place as anyone else could-and I don't see why we couldn't-then when those problems develop, the ratepayers are going to be better off.
How unusual are publicly owned utilities?
Public utility is the norm on the West Coast.... By any third-party analysis, it's cheaper. Seattle, L.A., Tacoma, Sacramento-they're all run with different models of operation, but they're all owned by the public.
So what's the timing for a deal?
[Enron interim CEO Steve] Cooper has made it very, very clear to everyone publicly and privately that he doesn't need to sell, that this stock redistribution is doing just great. We'll see if that's true or not. Most people believe that creditors in bankruptcies prefer cash to stock. He's also told us that he wants to fish or cut bait within a couple of months.... That's music to our ears, because we want to either get to a deal or not. I think that by the middle of the summer, we'll know. There are a couple of decision points the community has. One is, can we reach a friendly deal with him?
How about an unfriendly option like condemnation?
We have a [City Council] majority that's willing to consider condemnation at the right moment. We're not saying we would condemn if he doesn't get to our point...but if the public benefit is there, we could do that through a hearing process.... I think the mayor, Randy [Leonard] and myself are willing to start that process if we're not getting a good-faith negotiation. That's all we're really looking for.
On a personal level, if the city closes the deal, does that erase the taint of the water billing?
That's not for me to decide. Nothing lasts in politics.
What should the council do about the Portland Development Commission's decision to award the Burnside Bridgehead to Opus?
Nobody likes hindsight. But this one I actually kind of saw coming. And I told the mayor back in February that we should require the commission to justify the decision to us through a public hearing-which has never happened before-before they make it. Because I kind of thought on this one that the council was going to have to weigh in. And nothing happened. I'm not sure that would have solved the problem. I think we should have got in before the decision was made. I think [Mayor Potter] should have exerted himself before the decision was made. And I'd suspect he'd agree with that. I've got to do some studying on this before I can say where we should go.
Doesn't Matt Hennessee's relationship with Than Clevenger look incredibly insiderish?
It looks too insiderish for my taste. Whatever series of decisions led to Than working for Opus...they were mistakes. And I don't know if they were illegal, but he clearly should have disclosed that a lot sooner. You can either be Hennessee's political chairman or the Opus PR guy, but I don't think you can effectively pull off both.
The rumor mills are filled with talk that you're both considering and being considered to replace Don Mazziotti as PDC executive director.
It's the kind of job I would love to try sometime. But the timing isn't great. I've got to finish this PGE thing. If the idea was that someone offered me that job and I had to start July 1, I couldn't do that.
How about Charlie Hales for the job?
I would love to work with Charlie. I miss him a lot.
Have you talked to him about this?
I haven't. I've been so busy. His name keeps floating. I think he would be great.
What do you think of Leonard's proposal for PDC to, basically, blow it up and bring it in house?
I think he's just creating some momentum out there. I think Leonard likes to...
You think he's just throwing a bomb?
Yeah, I was going to say "test balloon," but it's a little stronger than that. It's a bomb, but I'm not sure it's meant to hit the engine of the ship.
You always talked about voting against JTTF, but it took Potter to get out on front on this issue before you. Were you too chickenshit?
Yeah, I was having a hard time. It's a hard issue. This is the only thing I can remember that comes up all the time on the council, every year, that I really get swung back and forth by the different sides. I think both sides actually have a compelling argument. Maybe I'm just sounding like a politician, but there were two things that really changed my mind this time around. One is that Potter is in full control of the situation. [Former Mayor] Vera [Katz] was dead-set that we should be in it. People need to understand the dynamic, because she was the Police Commissioner. We voted for it three times. The first time was right after 9/11, and I was shell-shocked like everyone else, just trying to figure out what to do. I gave the benefit of the doubt to the FBI. On the second vote, Randy and I were prepared to vote "no." At the last minute, the FBI offered the mayor clearance, and it was because we were going to vote "no." We didn't recognize at the time-I don't think anyone did-that the clearance was less than what the cops get. I'm not trying to rationalize the votes, but it's been a pretty interesting evolution of how this has gotten to where it is. The heart of my speech when I voted to get out was, "I think it's crap to say that Portland is just pulling out, like The Oregonian and others are saying." I have, at least, worked very, very hard to stay in the relationship for all the obvious reasons, and I'm concluding, after three years, that that's not possible.
Because they won't give the mayor oversight. Me concluding that isn't going to happen has taken a few years. I don't think anyone except the very, very hard left disputes that we ought to work with the FBI, but the issue is just how you do it. I think this city has tried, thoughtfully, to stay in it for three years, as opposed to the thought that we're on some sort of hellbent political mission to get out. I take much more crap among the voters that are my base for staying in.
Campaign finance is coming up. Out of all the gin joints you could walk into, why go into this one, since Potter won with less money and since it's tapping the city budget?
I think the city's budget issue is off center. I mean, the idea if that if we put a million dollars into public financing it will jeopardize other services presumes that the huge dollars going into our campaign chests don't cost you anything. That's a laughable proposition.
The No. 1 problem with public policy in this country is Big Money's influence on political structures. I think you need to start changing that every moment and every place you can. However pernicious the influence of Big Money on Portland City Council is or isn't, this is a place where you can change it. And a million dollars is a cheap investment to take that money out of the mix. I'm not corrupt, I don't think my colleagues are corrupt, but...right now, anybody can contribute any amount. It's fundamentally anti-democratic. It's getting worse and worse.
But Potter won after limiting donations to $100 against a guy who raised more than $1 million.
I view his election as an affirmation that people think Big Money stinks. I don't view it as an argument that we should keep a big-money system.
OK, so who are the big-money special interests you think have too much influence on public policy?
Real-estate interests get too much attention from the City Council.
You're the city commissioner who has paid more attention to the homeless issue than anyone. Yet hasn't the problem gotten worse?
I think so. At the same time, I think we've done a lot of good work. Homelessness is a problem that the whole country has got, and it's tied in with a lot of economic and policy decisions and things that are going on out there. If you were to rate Portland against the rest of the country, we would probably get a B+. If you rate against where we should be, it's probably a C-and most cities are failing. If you look at the last 15 years since Bud Clark did his 12-Point Plan [on homelessness], there's been consistent progress towards a better system and lots of good changes. I think Portland has shown itself admirably in this really tough struggle with no help from the federal government the past 10 years.
Would you agree that Portland is unfriendly to businesses?
Is it just a PR problem?
I think it's a substantive problem because it's widespread. We have higher taxes, it's harder to do business in the city. I suspect that's true for every urban area. You pay through the nose to be in New York, and every major financial player is always going to be there. In that sense, I don't believe if we got rid of the things that allow that argument to have legs that we would have solved our problems. I do think we've made a lot of progress with Sandra McDonough at the helm [of the Portland Business Alliance]. The change from Kim [Kimbrough] to her is one of the most important changes to Portland in the past few years.
How do you think Potter's doing, and what's been his biggest mistake?
He's exceeded my expectations. I thought he would have more of a ramp-up. He walked in and he was immediately in charge. Maybe it's come from him being police chief. He's very decisive, and he's collaborating. The council members feel like they're working with him but he's ultimately steering it. He hasn't made any huge mistakes yet; I think not getting control of the Bridgehead sooner could end up being a mistake.
What's it mean for women and minority issues that Portland's got an all-white, all-male council?
I think it's a big hole for the city. It's a hole in our ability to see things. It's a problem for role models. Someone once asked me, "Why won't Portlanders elect minorities?" Well, there haven't been a ton of minorities running the last 10 years. I don't know if campaign finance will fix that, but it will open some possibilities up.
What do you fear the most?
The Legislature.
What happened to the Stenmobile?
Some guy in Southeast has it. It sells about every 12 months.
Do you want to buy it back? Has the price depreciated?
It's in bad shape.
Is it a metaphor for your future political hopes?
It's not up to me to decide. That's your call, right?
Are you running for re-election next year?
Yeah, I think so.
How does becoming a father change your political life? There's not much stuff on your public schedule after 5 o'clock.
My first son is 16 months old, and I'm going to be home when he goes to bed at 7:30. I'm being very honest with community groups that I work really hard at this job. You'll get emails from me at all hours of the night. But I'm going to be home at 7:30 when he goes to sleep. Sam [Adams] is great. He started this whole First Thursday party at City Hall. I'm not doing it because it's not my priority. I don't think anyone's going to fault me for that.
Is that going to put you behind in the heir-apparent sweepstakes to be Portland's next mayor?
I don't think I'm out of touch with anyone.
Do you still want to be mayor at some point?
I'm not dead-set on it. You know, the longer I'm on the council, the more I see the benefits of this job. You get to focus on a smaller number of things in a more intense way. In some ways, that suits me. I actually ended up filling in for Vera a lot last year when she was going through her chemotherapy, and there's a lot of ceremonial work. I'm definitely interested. I'm not going to say I'm not going to run. I'm just saying I don't wake up in the morning thinking I need to be mayor.
Sten has led the city's past and current efforts to acquire PGE from bankrupt Enron. In March, the state Public Utility Commission killed the purchase of PGE by Texas Pacific Group.
The PDC awarded redevelopment of five blocks at the Burnside Bridge's east end to Minneapolis-based Opus Northwest, despite strong community support for locally based Beam Development.
Opus' PR consultant Nathaniel "Than" Clevenger had two contracts with PDC totaling $95,000 and is a speechwriter for PDC chairman Matt Hennessee, who is expected to run for elected office.
Sten served on the City Council with Charlie Hales before Hales left for a private-sector job in 2002.Sten finished third in his first council run, a spring 1996 primary to replace retiring City Commissioner Mike Lindberg.
When Earl Blumenauer vacated his council seat later in 1996 for Congress, Sten beat Chuck Duffy for the commissioner's job.
The City Council voted 4-1 last month to pull Portland out of the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force, making Portland the first city in the country to take that step.
Sten endorsed Tom Potter as ballots went out in the May 2004 mayoral primary. Potter limited donations to $100 apiece in the November general election after restricting them to $25 each in the primary.
Sandra McDonough is head of the Portland Business Alliance, replacing Kim Kimbrough, a frequent Sten nemesis who left the powerful business group in 2003.
Sten attended Grant High School, where he ran cross-country, wrote a weekly column for the student newspaper and received the faculty-choice award for most outstanding student.
After graduating from Grant in 1985, Sten went to Stanford University and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
Full disclosure moment: Sten was a WW intern before regaining his senses.

Magic of Disney's success unveiled
Seminar helps local businesses
It's no secret that the Walt Disney Co. is a success story.
But what is the secret to its success?
Nearly 100 Ventura County professionals from various industries paid $395 each to snag some tips from the entertainment company at a full-day event Friday at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Oxnard.
"We're here to learn how Disney does it, and try to adapt their business practices for our organization," said Erin Antrim of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme.
"Disney Keys to Excellence," sponsored by the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce, featured program facilitators Fernando Beltran and Leslie Bays-Baker from the Disney Institute. They discussed effective leadership, management, brand loyalty and how to build relationships with customers.
The purpose was to share the "business behind the magic," through stories about Disney's history and culture, for participants to apply to their own businesses.
Most of the lessons were simple and based on common sense. For example, the importance of making eye contact and smiling at customers and treating employees well.
"Our front line is our bottom line," Bays-Baker said. "They make or break the experience."
She asked attendees to think about how their vision conveys their values and how they can inspire passion in others.
Several people in the audience said they were inspired and that the seminar got them thinking.
Dennis Madden, chief executive of Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association in Oxnard, called the ideas "thought-starters" that would require more reflection. He said it made him realize the importance of teaching employees about the company's origin and what role each employee plays.
"Sometimes we get so involved in a task — we have to sit back and really examine what's important," Madden said.
John Mussmacher and Jeff McCorkle both said they were there to learn how to be better managers and stronger leaders at Taconic, a biotech company in Oxnard.
"A lot of times, seminars are a vehicle to remind us of what we should be doing," said Mussmacher, a site director.
Nancy Lindholm, president and chief executive of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce, had hoped attendance would be higher. There was space for 250 participants. She attributed the lower than expected turnout to the economic downturn. Those who did attend seemed to enjoy themselves, she said.
"I know I've picked up tips," she said. "Development of culture is key, and the four building blocks (leadership, management, service and loyalty) really relate back to developing that culture."
For Antrim with the Boys & Girls Club, a story that illustrated Walt Disney's passion stuck with her the most.
In 1930, he gave a group of animators 50 cents each and told them to go have dinner and return to a stage afterward. They came back with full stomachs to a dark stage — to save money, there was just one light on — and then Disney launched into a lively tale of Snow White, selling them on the idea to create the first feature-length animated film.
"If you have the drive and passion, nobody's going to hold you back," Antrim said.

"Requires surgery!"
So I bought these and was super stoked! I loved em and then I went snowboarding. halfway through the day I could no longer feel my feet and found 2 perfect creases on the liner on both sides. I cut a 1x2.5 inch hole where the front ankle area is and now they are stellar.... I'd look around at other boots. But they are good now after surgery.

"love the boot"
The boot is very sturdy. This inner boot caused a chaffing on my ankle, but other than that I'm very pleased.

"Look great and feel great!"

Harvest Pils
Wet-Hopped Pilsner
With whole flower hops that went from the vine to the kettle in a mere hours, this pils has a snap of freshness that has to be tasted to be believed. In "wet hopped" beers such as this, the hops are full of fresh oils that normally dissipate when the hops are dried. These essential oils give Harvest Pils the clean, spicy hop aromas you'd expect from a pristine pilsner, followed by the long, satisfying mouthfeel full of flavorful hop depth.
Malt: Imported German malts
Hops: Fresh Sterling whole flower hops
Herbal and earthy, with slight lemon-like notes and mild bitterness in the finish.
Food Pairings
Pizza and pretzels

Roasting a perfect Thanksgiving Day turkey is a cinch—especially if you follow the steps outlined here. The first and most important of these is to buy a premium, FRESH turkey. Below are some of the options available in Portland, Oregon.
The biggest myth I hear from folks about roasting turkey is that it "takes all day." I just roasted a 16-pound bird to perfection in 2¼ hours. It's resting on the stovetop now for another 30 minutes. Then we will eat it with the best stuffing I've ever made: Spicy Ciabatta & Cornbread Stuffing with Italian Sausage, Wild Mushrooms & Fresh Herbs (posting next). So minus the brining (48 hours), drying (24 hours), and warming to room temperature before roasting (1 hour), the bird is ready to eat in under 3 hours.
And the most common mistake made when preparing the big bird is over baking it. It's done when the thickest part of the thigh tests 170°F with an instant-read thermometer. Some thrill seekers even pull the bird from the oven at 165°F.
As to whether to stuff the bird or cook the stuffing separately, I prefer the ease and safety of the latter. I like to make a big batch of stuffing and bake if off in smaller increments as needed. It keeps for days, unbaked in the fridge.
The Perfect Roast Turkey
If you follow these steps to the tee, your bird will be absolute perfection–meaning roasted to the right degree, beautifully colored, full flavored, tender, moist, and memorable.
NOTE Be sure to purchase the turkey and begin the prep steps 3 days in advance.
- Buy the turkey: For the best tasting turkey possible, purchase a fresh, local, free-range, organic bird. (See the list below for turkey purveyors in Portland, Oregon.)
- Prep the turkey: Unwrap your fresh turkey. Remove giblets from the front and back cavities and reserve for stock. Under cold running water, rinse turkey well inside and outside.
- Prepare the turkey brine: Prepare a simple brine, enough to completely submerge the turkey. For every 2 cups of water, dissolve 1 tablespoon fine sea salt.
- Brine the turkey: Place the turkey in large stockpot or deep bowl and add the prepared brine. Refrigerator for two days, turning the bird once of twice in the process. It takes about this amount of time for the salt to work it's way into the flesh of a 16- pound bird.
- Dry the turkey skin: Okay, this step is not absolutely essential, and you can skip it if you are short on time. Remove turkey from brine solution and discard the brine. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Set a cooling rack on an edged baking sheet and place turkey, breast-side-up. Refrigerate, loosely topped with a sheet of foil, for 24 hours. Remove the turkey from the fridge one hour before roasting. Let sit, uncovered, at room temperature for one hour. (You don't want to put a very cold bird into the oven.)
- Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan or bowl in the microwave, warm your basting glaze. For the simplest glaze, simply soften or melt ½ cup unsalted butter.
- Truss the turkey: This essential process is easier to show than to describe. Here's a good video that shows how to truss a big bird. Don't worry if you can't get it exactly right. the main thing is to make sure that the wings and legs are held closely against the body of the bird. Hint: Start with twice the length of twine you thing you will need.
- Baste the turkey: Position the turkey, breast-side-up, on a rack set in a deep roasting pan. Using a silicon basting brush, brush the glaze all over the skin of the turkey.
- Heat the oven: Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven (with plenty of headroom above), and heat oven to 400°F.
- Roast the turkey: Roast turkey for 1 hour at 400°F, reduce oven to 325°F, and continue roasting until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh tests 170°F with an instant-read thermometer. If desired, but not required, baste the turkey with additional melted butter each hour. A 16-pound unstuffed turkey is beautifully browned in 1 hour and done in about 2¼ hours. (Add ½ hour baking time for stuffed birds 16-pounds or less.) If your bird begins to brown too much before it is done, cover loosely with a sheet of foil, reflective-side-up.
- Rest the turkey: Remove the turkey from the oven, position on a serving platter, loosely cover with heavy foil, and let rest for 30 minutes before carving. The temperature of the turkey will continue to rise (2-4 degrees) during the resting period. This critical step ensures that the juices of the bird redistribute themselves evenly into the flesh. If you skip this step, your turkey may be undercooked and the juices will flow out onto the plate when you carve the bird.
- Prepare the turkey gravy: While the turkey is resting, pour off fat from the roasting pan and discard. Deglaze pan with 1 cup of Brown Poultry Stock, scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan, strain, and then proceed as described in Thanksgiving 24-Hour Turkey Gravy.
- Carve and serve the turkey: It's not difficult but does take a little practice. Check out this Alton Brown video on how to carve your turkey.

RICHVILLE The village on Saturday will celebrate the reopening of the School Street playground, whose construction was jump-started by a win of $5,000 in an online Readers Digest contest.
It was the springboard for all the other donations when it looked like it was an achievable goal, said Lila M. Youngs, one of the organizers and manager of Richville Free Library, which sponsored several computer nights during the contest for residents to vote.
Richville, with a population of 323, took 17th place in the magazines We Hear You America contest.
Family and friends from across the country helped by voting on their computers.
Its just unbelievable how many votes you had to have to hit that 17th place and stay there, Mrs. Youngs said.
When the contest began, organizers already had raised several thousand dollars and had a commitment of $5,000 from the village to replace condemned playground equipment.
We had started, but we were treading water, Mrs. Youngs said. We didnt have a lot of money and it just looked like it was going to take so much, people were discouraged. Then it really began to be interesting.
After the contest win, the group received a $3,600 grant from Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northern New York, $800 each from Price Chopper and Corning, and a number of smaller monetary gifts from local businesses. Organizers raised $2,600 at a spring fling event and had a number of raffles and other fundraisers. Sales of playground equipment dropped the price organizers had expected to pay by $7,000.
That made it a goal we could reach. It all came together, Mrs. Youngs said. Its been a community effort; everybody of every age has done something.
The group so far has raised just under $25,000 to pay for swings, monkey bars, a bouncy horse, a four-seat bouncer and tube and slide, but still is working on finding money for equipment appealing to older children.
We would like to add to it some more, said Donna M. Deets, organizer of Saturdays fall festival. This way, the kids have something for a change. Were hoping this will be something for the village of Richville and bring us together a little more.
The grand opening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. will include face and pumpkin painting, a bouncy house, a silent auction, music and crafts.

Continuing education is the responsibility of every professional nurse: as the field of nursing knowledge is continually expanding it is our responsibility to remain informed so that we keep our practice current.
The State of Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nurse Education mandates that every RN licensed in RI must complete a minimum of 10 hours of continuing education every 2 years. These hours must be completed before the license is renewed and documentation of successful completion should be maintained by each individual RN.
Continuing education opportunities abound; courses and conferences are available on any and every nursing topic. Check the education listings in your professional journal and the nursing education site at your place of employment for course announcements. Free on-line CEU's, accredited by the ANCC, are also available from several providers.

He's not afraid to show off his man parts, and Shia LaBeouf strips down to his birthday suit for his new flick "Charlie Countryman."
The "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" hunk is featured in a new sneak peek photo from the movie that he posted to his Twitter account on Sunday (October 20).
