The finalists for the Effective Member Engagement Power the Vote Award showed their commitment to building their League while engaging the community. Leagues focused on their energy on the voters in their community by being visible and increasing membership—old and new—at their events.
We received so many excellent applications this year and we want to thank and commend all Leagues for their outstanding and innovative program work. The chosen finalists were among the best of the applicants. Please read about their projects below and use the grid to rank them in order of your favorite project.
Winners will be announced at the 2012 Convention at the Banquet on June 11, 2012.
The League of Women Voters of Saint Paul organized five projects to keep members engaged, increase volunteers and recruitment. Member engagement efforts included relocating monthly meetings to senior housing and civic hosting to increase accessibility and promote participation of inactive members. Other initiatives included Ranked Voting presentations at community events, Smart Chick Happy hour, well-publicized candidate forums and voter registration outreach to students, elderly, general community and minorities.
The League of Women Voters of Saint Paul's election related work impacted membership recruitment by creating a heightened presence in the community and in the local media. Partnerships with community organizations successfully recruited new volunteers as well as familiar faces that have not been active in the last few years. In addition the LWV of Saint Paul increased youth visibility by partnering with colleges to provide scholarships for college students to attend in the LWV-MN leadership seminar. In order to receive the scholarship students were required to volunteer or intern with the League. Offering scholarships in partnership with college has recruited interns and possibly future Leaguers.
Over the past 15 years the League of Women Voters Minnesota has been an active presence at citizenship ceremonies. Since 2006, the League has increased their efforts by helping future citizens fill out voter registration forms and collecting completed voter registration forms when they officially became citizens. In 2011, the League of Minnesota registered over 9,000 new voters at 75 ceremonies in over 100 counties. Voter registration at citizenship ceremonies has empowered both new voters and LWV members. New citizens are enthusiastic about the opportunity to vote and local Leagues have re-energized both new members and active members through their work.
In response to the effectiveness of their presence at naturalization ceremonies, LWVMN notes: "one measure of success is the number of times we are asked if our picture may be taken with a family member or friend as they turn in their voter registration form." For their efforts LWVMN has been recognized by the African Development Council, the Latino Business Council and the Secretary of State. As a result of their participation in citizenship ceremonies and larger participation in teaching citizens and "not yet-citizens" how they can be involved in democracy, the League is seen as organization which is comfortable with the immigrant community and fosters civic engagement.
The League of Voters of Palm Beach County (PBC) went to new heights to promote the importance of voting and increase visibility of League. The League organized an event entitled "Jump for the Vote" as the kickoff to the League's Voter Service Initiative "Jump into Election Year." On January 28, 2012 four members of the Palm Beach County League ages 50 to 70, including the PBC Clerk and Comptroller participated in a tandem skydive. The skydive was aimed to "attract the attention of the media, voters and prospective voters in Palm Beach County and to make them aware that the League of PBC believed unequivocally in the privilege, responsibility and importance of voting!" They reached members of the community by effectively using social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
The event saw immediate impact as the local television and print media featured coverage of "Jump for the Vote" for two days which increased visibility of the League, voter education and outreach initiatives. The "Jump for the Vote" also created enthusiasm among the PBC community. As a result, The Palm Beach County League has seen an increase in membership, member engagement and public attendance at their events.
In order to effectively engage the members of the League of Women Voters of Westport Connecticut, they organized a project entitled "My Town, My Vote." My Town, My Vote was a unified and coordinated effort in the months leading up to the November 2011 local elections. The objective of the project was to raise awareness about the importance of voting in Westport elections and to increase voter turnout in local elections. The project was multifaceted, including a series of press releases, an informational brochure, an eye catching logo, attendance at major town events and public places, and voter outreach to new voters and local high schools.
Member engagement efforts also featured a documentary video produced by two members which highlights the impact of local issues on town citizens and how voting and being involved can influence these local issues. Aside from community outreach the My Town, My Vote was a great opportunity to involve new/less active members in the chance to facilitate the visibility of the LWV in the local community and become acquainted with other local LWV members. Furthermore, the Chairs of the Democratic and Republican Town committee were active participants in planning the campaign and are now more involved in League activities as members.
LWVUS Board and staff will be training some 30 League leaders from 9 states in Houston, TX on Friday, April 13 until Sunday, April 15, 2012. The training will bring together individuals who have volunteered to be state coaches as part of the Membership and Leadership Development (MLD) program, funded by the Fund for Local League Growth.
Mary Wilson is a member of the LWV of Central New Mexico.

Yesterday afternoon (Sunday, 14 March), together with a group of journalists I made my way to the Makura Ranch on the western slopes of Mount Carmel there to visit and make a tasting at Amphorae winery.
Set in the green and luxuriant mouth of a long-dormant volcano on the western slopes of Mount Carmel, the winery was founded in 2000, and with Gil Shatzberg as winemaker quickly emerged as one of the most promising and interesting wineries in the country. Under Shatzberg's leadership the winery released wines in four series, the top of the line Amphorae Reserve, the regular Amphorae releases, the wines in the Rhyton series and those labeled Med.Red or Med.Blend. The first three series are age-worthy, and the Med.Red and Med.Blend wines were meant for youthful consumption. In early 2008, the talented Shatzberg left Amphorae and took on the role of senior winemaker at the Recanati winery. Despite that, the wines released in what one might think of as "the Shatzberg era" will continue to be noted in my book so long as they are still drinking well and quite a few of them continue to drink very well indeed.
All of which is only the beginning of the story of the current status of Amphorae for which, with apologies, the story is fairly convoluted.
For several months after Shatzberg left, Amphorae was run largely by his assistant winemaker and was then purchased by a group led by David Bar-Ilan of the Keshet winery. Bar-Ilan, who was in the process of establishing a winery in Migdal HaEmek and was working with Arkadi Papikian as a consultant, sold nearly all of the equipment in the existing Amphorae winery, installed his own equipment and undertook major renovations (e.g. expanding the barrel cellars and raising the roof over the room holding the stainless steel fermentation tanks). As to the equipment, there is what one can only think of as a phenomenal assortment of stainless steel tanks, all thoroughly modern but so broad in design that at least I wonder just why so many different styles are required.
Nor is that the end of the story, for not too long after that the winery changed hands again and was taken over by major investor Vladimir Dubov. Papikian became the senior winemaker and a partner in the winery. Also taken in as a partner was Guy Rilov who controls the land on the Makura Ranch. Rilov is also involved in the raising of fruits and vegetables on the ranch, those holding to the strictest standards of organic farming. As to the intricacies of just which of the partners has what percentage of what and as to whom may or may not be silent partners in all of this – these details are not known nor are they of interest to me. What is of interest to me are the wines.
Related to all of this is that starting with the 2009 vintage, world-renowned French winemaker-consultant Michel Rolland will be giving input to the winery. For those not fully in the know, Rolland owns (to the best of my count) six wineries in Bordeaux. He also has joint ventures in South Africa, Spain and Argentina. Perhaps even more significant - he consults to more than two hundred wineries in thirteen different countries.
Among Amphorae's now stated goals is the production of wines of extraordinary quality that will compete with the best of the world. The choice of Rolland as a consultant is an interesting one, for he is known not only as a good friend of critic Robert Parker but as a winemaker whose wines are often high in alcohol, loaded with wood and very fruit forward. At times he is also a proponent of the somewhat controversial use of micro-oxidation, a process that can make wines softer, rounder and more easily approachable at an early age despite their intensity.
The three wines now being released are from the 2006 vintages and are in a new series entitled Unica, that label being used to represent the flagship wines of the winery. Although these wines were made by David Bar-Ilan during his days at Keshet (a winery that never released a wine to the market), they carry the Amphorae label. As well as I can understand, the word unica derives from Spanish and can be taken to mean either "unique" or "extraordinary".
Because these wines were made before the current winemaker had full control, I think it important to realize that these releases and even the 2008 barrel samples that I tasted may not accurately predict the future direction of the winery. That future will be determined only starting with the 2009 vintage with the winemaker and his French consultant finally fully in charge. Current and near-future releases are estimated at between 50,000-60,000 bottles annually. The 2006 wines reviewed were tasted both at the event and then this morning blind in my own tasting room. What I cannot do is predict drinking windows for these wines, that because of the lack of track record and what I find a rather heavy handed use of wood and alcohol. I will return to each of these wines a year from now.
My thanks for their courtesies during my visit to Arkadi Papikian, Guy Rilov and the staff of the winery that was at hand.
The 2006 Releases
Amphorae, Cabernet Sauvignon, Unica, 2006: Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the Psagot and Manara vineyards and aged for 28 months in French wood barrels of 300 and 500 liters. Full-bodied, deeply extracted and with firm tannins that seem not to want to settle down. Showing dark garnet, showing blackberries and spicy oak on the nose, and on the palate generous ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, the fruits coming under the influence of a perhaps too heavy hand with the oak and an alcohol content of 15.3% that leaves a too hot note on the finish. Not an elegant wine but one that will appeal to those who like their wines muscular and intense. NIS 325. Score 86. (Tasted twice with consistent notes 14 and 15 Mar 2010)
Amphorae, Syrah- Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon, Unica, 2006: A blend of 45% Syrah, 35% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, developed for 28 months in 300 and 500 liter French oak, the grapes from Kfar Yuval. Dark ruby towards garnet, opens with a medicinal hit on the nose, that passing fairly quickly unlike the almost searing tannins and generous wood that linger and tend to dominate the black fruits and saddle leather that are here. A true blockbuster. NIS 275. Score 85. (Tasted twice with consistent notes 14 and 15 Mar 2010)
Amphorae, Merlot-Barbera, Unica, 2006: Dark garnet, remarkably full-bodied and tannic considering the blend 83% Merlot and 17% Barbera). A wine that seems to have gone wrong somewhere along the way, showing abundance of too-gripping tannins, alcoholic heat, sweet cedar, sawdust and herbal notes all of which tend to hide the fruits that struggle to make themselves felt. NIS 275. Score 85. (Tasted twice with consistent notes 14 and 15 Mar 2010)
The 2008 Barrel Tastings
Amphorae, Cabernet Sauvignon, Unica, 2008 (Barrel Tasting): Dark garnet, full-bodied, with generous sweet and spicy wood and firm, near biting tannins, opening slowly to reveal traditional Cabernet blackberry and blackcurrant fruits, those complemented by notes of cigar tobacco. Muscular and with a note of alcoholic heat on the finish. Drink from release. Tentative Score 85-87 (Tasted 14 Mar 2010)
Amphorae, Syrah-Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon, Unica, 2008 (Barrel Tasting): Abundant spicy wood, firm tannins and alcohol that adds a simultaneously hot and sweet note. Showing appealing red fruits and spices but the elements not yet integrated. Perhaps better with time. Drink from release. Tentative Score 84-86. Tasted 14 Mar 2010)
Amphorae, Merlot-Barbera, Unica, 2008 (Barrel Tasting): Deep, dark and concentrated with generous fruits and spicy wood on the nose. Opens to reveal an appealing flavor array of raspberries, cassis and sweet cedar, those with hints of ginger and cigar tobacco. Drink from release. Tentative Score 85-87. (Tasted 14 Mar 2010)

Attention all past preemie parents...
Since there is always going to be another preemie parent (or grandparent, etc) that comes to the forum seeking tips and advice for dealing with their little ones, let's start a thread of ADVICE.
I think that among us all is a VAST amount of information, ideas, tips, thoughts, that we figured out or WISHED that we'd figured out when our babies were in the NICU or home (but still small and sick).
So, let's try to start something here ... that way as new ones come on, we can direct them here, rather than trying to re-remember everything. (here at my job, they keep touting "knowledge management"...I guess it stuck!)

The Monkees Rehearsing In Northern California
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
The Monkees are hard at work rehearsing on the West Coast in preparation of their 12-date tour, which kicks off on November 8th in Escondido, California. The upcoming concerts mark the first group tour Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork have undertaken since Davy Jones died of a heart attack on February 29th at age 66. Also on board is guitarist Mike Nesmith, who apart from an occasional walk on during the group's reunion tour encores, last performed and recorded with the band in 1997, and according to those involved, left the group flat following their sole four-man UK reunion tour.
Micky Dolenz shed some light on the group's current rehearsals telling MusicRadar.com, "I've been up in northern California with Mike Nesmith for the last month, working with him, because he hasn't done a lot of this material in many years. It's a different dynamic, and as you say, it is bittersweet. We're not calling it the 'Davy Jones Memorial Tour,' but he will definitely be remembered, and there will be an homage to him."
Nesmith fully endorsed -- but once again sat out of -- the Monkees' last reunion trek in 2011, marking the group's 45th anniversary.
Out now is Micky Dolenz' latest album, titled Remember, which named after the 1972 Harry Nilsson classic, "Remember (Christmas)." Other tunes featured on the set are the Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" -- which he performed during his 1965 Monkees audition -- as well as the group's "I'm A Believer," "Randy Scouse Git" and "Sometime In The Morning" -- along with a personal favorite, the Beatles' "Good Morning, Good Morning."
Dolenz explained why he chose the covers for the new collection: "All the songs on the album have a story behind them, but I was at that Beatles session, so it got burned into my neural pathways. Eventually, on an episode of The Monkees, I got them to give me the rights to let me play the song on the show, which was unheard of at the time. Over the years, I sort of came up with this different take on it. But I switched the time signatures around. On the original, the verses are in 4/4 and the middle eight is in triplets. I turned it around so that the verses are in triplets and the middle eight is in 4/4."
Micky Dolenz told us that he's always considered his career from The Monkees' TV shows to their reunion tours as "musical theatre": "If you understand the history of the Monkees, if you understand and appreciate how the original show was put together and everything, it's not like a band having a reunion. It's more like the revival of a Broadway musical, if you will. It's like Yul Brynner doing The King And I again. That's the way I've always looked at it, 'cause that's the way The Monkees was originally produced and constructed. It was a television show first, about this imaginary rock-and-roll group--this fictitious group called the Monkees."
The Monkees tour dates (subject to change):
November 8 - Escondido, CA - California Center for the Arts
November 9 - Santa Barbara, CA - The Arlington Theatre
November 10 - Los Angeles, CA - Greek Theatre
November 11 - Cupertino, CA - Flint Center for the Performing Arts

I mean the fact that the One Man Thrill Ride isn't on Monday Night Raw yet is astounding to say the least. Maybe this is just a promo video like they used to do back in the old WWF days? They'd have a character do some vignettes for a few weeks before they actually appeared on TV? Gotta be right? Because if this guy isn't on Vinne Mac's payroll by the EOB today it is a severe misplay on each side. I know we type in a lot of hyperbole on this blog but I'm not joking even a little when I say that this video was a TEN. Love this bro's attitude too. He'd be a no brainer pick to lead a 2013 version of the Mean Street Posse. Call up Pete Gas and Joey Abs and tell them to dust the sweater vests off because One Man Thrill Ride is about to resurrect the most underrated heel stable of all time*! Honest to God it wouldn't shock me even a little if we found out there was a little Ric Flair blood coursing through this guy's veins. Like you gotta figure over 30+ years of stylin' and profilin' that Ric has, what, maybe 200-300 illegitimate children in the world? Somebody get Maury on the phone!
*That sentence is a pretty good example of why I may as well have been Stephen Glansburg to the girls at my high school.
PS: If you don't think I'm ordering every bacon, egg and cheese sandwich I order for the rest of my life as a 'bacon, egg and chee, hold the chee' then you are outside of your mind.
Double PS: I've never been more certain of anything in my life than I am that the One Man Thrillride took one of those Fitchburg suckbags' girlfriends to the Wine Cellar after he hit a baseball to the moon. Mortal lock city.
Triple PS: Still the greatest wrestling promo of all time:

Amerec's 3T series generators are engineered for performance and reliability. The innovative "soft steam" feature provides the ultimate in steam bathing comfort. Minimal temperature variations and an even flow of steam are the two most important performance characteristics of a steam bath. Amerec engineering delivers both with innovative "soft steam" element switching to maintain a consistent and comfortable bathing environment. The 3T uses full power to quickly heat up the steam room to its preset temperature; then it cuts power to half its elements, resulting in a more consistent flow of soft billowing steam and more stable temperature.
The 3T Series steam generator package includes the innovative T100 Touch control and the ADT automatic drain kit. No need to order individual items for a complete steam shower installation. Simply select the appropriate kW size generator for the shower space and add a ComfortFlo� steam head in the finish of your choice.
ADT auto drain:
The ADT auto drain drains the tank following each steam bath and flushes water through the tank to reduce sediment build up and provide longer element life.
Amerec�s Limited Lifetime residential warranty provides peace-of-mind protection for the homeowner. Amerec products are engineered to deliver years of reliable operation and we back them with the most complete warranty in the industry.

How often have you tried a quick sugary snack to boost your energy? It's time to rethink that choice—a new study found that protein, not sugar, activates the brain cells that keep you alert and burn calories. So…whether you want to get off to a good start in the morning, or need to break out of an afternoon slump, try one of these high protein combos:
- A toasted whole grain waffle + 3 tablespoons cottage cheese + a sprinkle of cinnamon
- A packet of instant oatmeal + 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- Thawed, frozen raspberries + ½ cup Greek yogurt + 2 tablespoons high-fiber cereal
Your waistline will thank you, and you'll avoid that low you hit after a sugary snack.
And, while we're at it, avoid these 'breakfasty" snacks at all cost:
- Sugary cereals
- Muffins—you don't even want to know how many calories those things have!
- The breakfast fry up, sausage, bacon, eggs—yes there's a lot of protein but that much grease will never energize you!
- Pancakes. Sadly, there's no healthy way to enjoy a pancake.

When Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were found, a lesser known woman was also found with them. Mention Gina or Amanda's name in Cleveland, and chances are someone knows who you're talking about, but Michelle Knight remains a mystery.
We do know that she disappeared on August 23rd, 2002 from W. 106th and Lorain, the same area as Gina and Amanda.
Unlike the other 2 girls, Michelle was an adult, 21-years-old when she went missing.
There was no mention of Michelle on any websites we searched, from F.B.I. websites to the Ohio Attorney General's website.
We know that at the time she disappeared, she lived at a house on Walnut Avenue. The police report said she suffered from a mental condition. She was also the mother of a young child, who was taken by Social Services.
Investigative reporter Carl Monday talked with a family member of Michelle who said that Michelle's mother let the family years ago, abandoning Michelle's younger brother in a dumpster.
Her brother, who was a twin, said he and his sister were products of an abusive home.
That brother, Freddie, went to the hospital Monday to see his sister.

Felicia Day Writing, Starring in Dragon Age Web Series [Updated][Update: 13:24] Word came via a press release that the web series will premiere tomorrow, February 16, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Felicia Day will be on the show to present the first look at the new series.
[Original Story] Felicia Day is now officially a part of the marketing blitz for Dragon Age 2. USA Today reports that Day has written and stars in an upcoming six-episode web series entitled, Dragon Age: Redemption.
Day will play Tallis, an elven assassin who "fights dirty" and has a sarcastic wit. She sets out to capture a renegade magician, and forms alliances with other Ferelden residents along the way. The series is set to premiere later this year, but an exact date wasn't set. Our bet is riding on sometime in March, to cross-promote Dragon Age 2.
Day is accustomed to web series, having made her mark with The Guild and Dr. Horrible. BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk said her "passion and appreciation for the content and a really good history of quality" made her right for the job. Peter Winther (Independence Day associate producer) directs the shorts, and John Bartley (Lost) serves as the cinematographer.

The rare mediocre and overpriced Tivoli Product
My wife and I first became enamored of the sound of the Tivoli Model One radio. Soon we had the Tivoli Clock Radio and next the 2nd speaker for stereo. Then my wife gave me the Tivoli "High Fidelity System," costing at the time over a thousand. At first I was dubious, but not after side-by-side tests with the currently most acclaimed speakers and speaker-dock systems. To discerning ears, the Tivoli system's was most 'faithful" (demonstrating the highest fidelity) to the original sound source. I'm shocked to see this superior system (better than Bose) going for half price (admittedly, design and controls are conservative and not always quick and user-friendly--but the sound!!! unequaled!).
My only disappointment thus far has been the Tivoli iPal. Though not stereo, the audio is superior to most cheap stere systems. But it's not truly a personal speaker to be taken wherever one goes. And when played at full gain outside, its deficiencies are all too noticeable. It falls on its face, the sound simply failing to project with undistorted clarity and power for more than a few feet. I'm incredulous that this little device has gone up in price (from 150) while the Hi Fi System has come way way down (from 1000-1500) to close to 500. it's in the Tivoli High Fi System where the best value is to be found.

The Temptations' 'Papa Was A Rollin' Stone' Turns 40!!
Friday, October 12, 2012
It was 40 years ago on Sunday (October 14th, 1972) the Temptations released "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone." The song was written by Motown staff writers Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong -- who were best known for writing the chart toppers "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" for Marvin Gaye and "War" for Edwin Starr. Prior to "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," the pair had also written the Temps' last two Number One hits, "I Can't Get Next To You" and "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)."
"Papa Was A Rollin' Stone" was originally recorded by a fellow Motown act called the Undisputed Truth, who were best known for their 1971 hit "Smiling Faces Sometimes." Back then it was standard practice for Motown groups to all record the same material in hopes of one of them charting. It was the Temptations' version that hit, going all the way to Number One on December 2nd 1972 and becoming their fourth and last Number One.
In a strange twist of fate lead singer Dennis Edwards' father also died on "the third day of September," just like in the song.
The single was an edited version of the album track, which ran for over eleven minutes. The instrumental portion was placed on the flipside. Both sides of the single went on to earn the group Grammys in 1972, with the A-side winning "Best R&B Performance By a Duo Or Group with Vocal" and its B-side winning the award for "Best R&B Instrumental Performance."
Dennis Edwards says that the main reason the Temps kept scoring hits for Motown was legendary producer and songwriter Norman Whitfield, who understood the subtleties of Edwards' voice: "We had a hell of a marriage, me and Whitfield. I guess some producers they fit you better, I was in the same vein. He was a great producer and what he did, I think it kind of really did my voice a justice, you know -- his type of music."
Norman Whitfield died on September 16th, 2008 due to complications from diabetes.
The Temptations will next perform On October 26th in Chandler, Arizona at the Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino.

There were a lot smiles today in a locker room dealing with a losing streak for the first time in three years. The Green Bay Packers face the prospect of a three game slide and they'll start a third different quarterback as they face the New York Giants Sunday prepping Scott Tolzien for his first NFL start. Yet, there they were, ear to ear grins.
None bigger than on the faces of Jerel Worthy and Sean Richardson. Today was the first day of the rest of their NFL lives hopefully, finally given medical clearance to practice after spending the last calendar year coming back from serious injuries. Worthy blew out his knee and Richardson suffered a neck injury that required a cervical fusion. They were placed on the physically unable to perform list when the season began. This week was the last they could come off the list with any hope of playing this year. A two week window is now open for both players. Worthy was giddy about his first practice. Mike McCarthy knew the old Jerel was back, saying with a dead pan smile, "when he jumped offsides a couple of times." Richardson's road was even more worrisome. That type of injury can be career threatening. Sean had said he wouldn't feel he was ready to return until the equipment staff placed a helmet in his locker. Sure enough, the shiny yellow hat was hanging today and Richardson felt like a kid in the candy store. All smiles.
It took a moment to recognize the grin on the player dressing alongside the running backs section of the locker room. I know I've seen it before. Oh yeah, its the 2008 7th round draft choice from LSU, Matt Flynn! The prodigal quarterback has returned, signing a free agent deal this week after injuries felled his original mentor Aaron Rodgers and Seneca Wallace. There was quite a crowd waiting for Matt after practice and here's what he had to say about coming back to the Pack.
Audio: Matt Flynn.
Now back to Tolzien. He admitted his week in the spotlight is something he hasn't had to deal with since the Wisconsin Badgers were getting ready for the Rose Bowl, the last time he started a game. Tolzien is putting in plenty of extra time at the office. McCarthy met with him until about 9:30 PM Tuesday night. He thinks Scott's eating well, he's at the facility all the time. McCarthy isn't concerned, adding Tolizen is getting plenty of rest. That wasn't the case at his first pro stop. Signed by the San Francisco 49ers just before the 2011 season began, Tolzien checked out of his hotel room after a night or two, hauled his duffle bag over to the Niners training complex in Santa Clara, and proceeded to call the player's lounge home for the next couple of weeks. Tolzien said today the couch was comfortable, the TV's were great and since he had team issued clothing, there was no need to do laundry. Allowed him to learn the offense in record time. I think he'll have this week's game plan down.
The team got encouraging medical news on a couple of fronts. Evan Dietrich-Smith practiced on a limited basis after hurting his knee against the Eagles. Don Barclay didn't practice but McCarthy expected him to try Thursday after getting fitted with a knee brace. Clay Matthews was a full participant with his thumb injury and better yet, worked without the club that clearly hampered him last Sunday. McCarthy hopes Matthews can play with just a brace of some sort. Ryan Pickett (knee) and Andy Mulumba (ankle) were both limited. Rodgers along with Nick Perry (toe/foot) Johnny Jolly (groin) and Mike Neal (abdomen), also didn't work. McCarthy said Neal is just "kinda beat up" and he's hopeful he'll be OK by the weekend. And one more note. Jermichael Finley is reportedly scheduled for cervical fusion surgery tomorrow to fuse the C4, C5 vertebrae in his neck. He suffered the injury against the Cleveland Browns on October 20. After getting additional opinions at the Mayo Clinic, Finley has decided the operation is the best course of action. He was placed on injured reserve by the Packers last week. Finley has every intention of resuming his career after he recovers from the procedure.
Michael HIll, the rookie running back, was plucked off the team's practice squad today by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who lost a couple of backs in their first win of the season Monday night. To take his place, the Packers signed Georgia Tech rookie Orwin Smith. He gained over 1800 yards with 20 touchdowns in 51 games with the Yellow Jackets.

I had fun making a very simple French omelet tonight, no filling, nothing but free-range eggs, butter scented with a little ginger and garlic, and salt, black and red pepper for seasoning. I took a bunch of pictures and uploaded them to Facebook, but at the end of a long day I'm running out of steam to resize and post them all here, too. I'll do that later if anyone really would like me to, but meanwhile, here's the Facebook link. You should be able to see them even if we're not connected; or, of course, feel free to send me a "Friend" request and I'll quickly comply.

Hill said Wednesday, Feb. 6 that rumors had been flying around the school and the community for two days about a school shooting being planned.
After an exhaustive two-day investigation, Hill said there was no evidence of a potential shooting. The rumors stemmed from a discussion that one student had with another student who had bullied him, he said.
An additional Patterson deputy was posted outside the school Wednesday to answer any questions that parents had regarding the matter. Hill said no threat existed after his investigation was complete.

Time Spent Is a Significant Burden on Cancer Patients
Calculating the burden of cancer is not simple, especially when it comes to nonmedical costs such as patient time lost to cancer care. A study from the January 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) estimated that in 2005 the value of patient time lost to cancer care was nearly $2.3 billion in the first year following diagnosis alone. This estimate was based on just over 1 million newly diagnosed cancer patients in 2005, millions of hours traveling to and from, waiting for, and receiving treatment, and a median wage rate of $15.23 per hour.
"To our knowledge, this study is the first to estimate net patient time costs over the full course of cancer care, for 11 of the most common cancer sites," said the study's lead author, Dr. Robin Yabroff, an epidemiologist in NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS). She and her colleagues used a phase-of-care approach, which distinguishes three clinically relevant phases of care: the initial year after diagnosis, the last year of life, and the continuing or monitoring phase, which includes the time between the initial year and last year of life.

SEER: Research Power in Numbers
NCI's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program is a powerful cancer research tool that has served as the basis for thousands of studies. Innovative use of SEER data has produced additional statistics such as cancer prevalence, which is important to national estimates of cancer survivorship.
Although many people equate SEER with the Annual Report to the Nation, the main reason for its popularity is rooted in the fact that SEER is the most comprehensive, population-based cancer registry in the world. It currently covers 26 percent of the U.S. population, and captures information on patient demographics, primary tumor site and morphology, stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and survival.

Time Spent Is a Significant Burden on Cancer Patients
Calculating the burden of cancer is not simple, especially when it comes to nonmedical costs such as patient time lost to cancer care. A study from the January 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) estimated that in 2005 the value of patient time lost to cancer care was nearly $2.3 billion in the first year following diagnosis alone. This estimate was based on just over 1 million newly diagnosed cancer patients in 2005, millions of hours traveling to and from, waiting for, and receiving treatment, and a median wage rate of $15.23 per hour.
"To our knowledge, this study is the first to estimate net patient time costs over the full course of cancer care, for 11 of the most common cancer sites," said the study's lead author, Dr. Robin Yabroff, an epidemiologist in NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS). She and her colleagues used a phase-of-care approach, which distinguishes three clinically relevant phases of care: the initial year after diagnosis, the last year of life, and the continuing or monitoring phase, which includes the time between the initial year and last year of life.
They found that the amount of patient time in the first year after diagnosis varied by tumor site. Many of the cancers that can be screened for, detected early, and treated effectively - such as breast, prostate, and skin cancer - involved less time than did lung, ovarian, and gastric cancers, which are often diagnosed at later stages of disease. These differences by site persist (though are somewhat smaller) in the last year of life.
"Researchers and policy makers tend to forget that time costs are a very real and very human component of the total economic burden of cancer," wrote Drs. Larry G. Kessler of the Food and Drug Administration and Scott D. Ramsey of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, in an accompanying editorial.
The study used Medicare claims from more than 760,000 cancer patients aged 65 and older in the SEER cancer registry between 1995 and 2001 to establish the amount and type of care patients received, including hospitalizations, imaging procedures, office visits, emergency room visits, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and ambulatory surgeries. Estimates of the time required for each type of service were also developed, using established measures where possible.
The amount and type of care for each category were also estimated for more than 1 million matched Medicare enrollees without cancer. Subtracting those hours from the hours that cancer patients spent resulted in a picture of the burden attributable to cancer.
However, Dr. Yabroff emphasized, these estimates almost certainly underestimate the actual time patients spend receiving cancer care in the U.S. "We only evaluated care and estimated time in individuals aged 65 and older, which we think underestimates time spent by younger patients," she said.
Drs. Kessler and Ramsey agreed, pointing out that younger patients tend to undergo more intensive therapy, and their relative burden is increased because their healthy counterparts spend less time and money on health care when younger. Also excluded from this analysis were time at home preparing for and recovering from treatments, and time spent by family and caregivers.
"Patient time spent receiving cancer care in the United States is substantial," said Dr. Yabroff. "These estimates represent just one component of the burden of cancer, however. In addition to direct medical costs, other components, such as quality of life and lost productivity due to early cancer death are important to our understanding of cancer burden."

SEER: Research Power in Numbers
NCI's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program is a powerful cancer research tool that has served as the basis for thousands of studies. Innovative use of SEER data has produced additional statistics such as cancer prevalence, which is important to national estimates of cancer survivorship.
Although many people equate SEER with the Annual Report to the Nation, the main reason for its popularity is rooted in the fact that SEER is the most comprehensive, population-based cancer registry in the world. It currently covers 26 percent of the U.S. population, and captures information on patient demographics, primary tumor site and morphology, stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and survival.
Since its establishment in 1973, SEER has constantly evolved to become more sophisticated and robust, while still maintaining - and enhancing - data confidentiality. For the past two decades, SEER has worked with the public and private sector, notably the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, the American Cancer Society, the Commission on Cancer, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to build a more cohesive national cancer registry system. In addition, the establishment of linkages between SEER data and Medicare records have opened up new avenues of cancer research that focus on treatment, particularly quality, patterns, and cost of care.
Quality control is a cornerstone of the SEER Program. In addition to extensive training courses for cancer registry professionals, Web-based tools are used for distance learning and to conduct reliability studies, the results of which are used to target future training and improve data quality. SEER also is applying contemporary information technology enhancements to improve efficiency, including a modular data management system and sophisticated tools for identifying cancer cases based on electronic capture of information in pathology records.
Such enhancements have helped make SEER a powerful research tool. We often call SEER a population-based laboratory, because it offers a massive population framework from which different types of vital studies can be conducted. The lead story in this week's issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin highlights just such a study, with NCI researchers using SEER data to analyze the nonmedical costs of current cancer care.
In addition, since the 1990s, SEER has worked with the intramural and extramural research teams to conduct Rapid Response Surveillance Studies - investigations that can be performed in a relatively short period of time, typically 1 to 2 years. Numerous papers have been published based on these studies that address important questions about the dissemination of treatment advances in the community and other cancer control efforts that, in the absence of SEER, would take far longer to answer.
And, of course, a unique aspect of SEER that has made it a tremendous gateway for public health information is its public use file, available for analysis to users who agree to maintain confidentiality protections. The SEER Program has been at the forefront of providing access to cancer data for both public health professionals and the advocacy community through user-friendly analytical tools.
These are just a taste of the scope of the SEER Program and the vital research it supports. SEER continues to be an important resource for the public health community, using population-based science to have a significant impact on measuring our nation's progress in cancer prevention and treatment and guiding future directions for cancer research.
Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Risk Increased in Retinoblastoma Survivors
Patients with the hereditary form of retinoblastoma, an extremely rare form of pediatric cancer caused by a germline mutation in the RB1 gene, are at significantly increased risk of developing soft-tissue sarcomas. Researchers in NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) estimated the risk for individual histologic subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma for the first time in these patients. Study results were published in the January 3 JNCI.
The study evaluated 963 patients with hereditary retinoblastoma who were diagnosed between 1914 and 1984 and lived at least 1 year after diagnosis. "Because this cohort has been followed longer than most other groups of childhood cancer survivors, we were able to determine risks for several subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma, especially types that occur later in adulthood," said lead author Ruth Kleinerman.
Researchers found that for these survivors, the risk of leiomyosarcoma, a tumor of the smooth muscle cells, was the highest among all subtypes - up to 400 times higher than the general population - and remained high for decades. Forty-five percent of all soft-tissue sarcomas were diagnosed 30 or more years after the retinoblastoma diagnosis.
Radiotherapy was associated with an increased risk of all subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma evaluated in the study.
"This is important to understand because patients with hereditary retinoblastoma have excellent long-term survival rates," stated senior author and DCEG Director, Dr. Joseph F. Fraumeni, Jr. But he cautioned, "The risks seen in this study reflect treatments commonly used decades ago but no longer used in modern practice."
The authors stressed the importance of continuing surveillance throughout adulthood for survivors of hereditary retinoblastoma and the need to evaluate current treatment regimens that have been designed to have less long-term toxicity.
Molecular Signatures for Lung Cancer Outcomes Identified
The search for molecular signatures that allow more reliable prediction of the risks for recurrence and shortened survival times for lung cancer patients has yielded additional gene-expression profiles for the disease, according to results from two recently published studies. The two described gene signatures, which are different, may prove helpful in identifying patients with early-stage lung cancer who are at increased risk of recurrence and shorter survival times and who might benefit from aggressive postsurgical therapy.
A study from Taiwan, published January 4 in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), identified 16 genes from 125 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had undergone surgery to treat stage I-III disease. This 16-gene set was further narrowed to a 5-gene signature that was closely associated with relapse-free and overall survival rates among the patients, according to researchers led by Dr. Hsuan-Yu Chen of the National Taiwan University College of Public Health. Using a scoring method, they identified 59 patients with high-risk and 42 patients with low-risk gene signatures. Median overall survival was only 20 months for the high-risk individuals, compared with 40 months for the low-risk patients. The 5-gene signature's predictive accuracy was confirmed with data from other NSCLC patients and published data.
A second study, published on the Public Library of Science (PLoS) Medicine Web site, involved a meta-analysis of data from seven gene-profile studies of patients with stage I NSCLC. The researchers identified a 64-gene signature that was also accurate in identifying high-risk versus low-risk patients with more than 85 percent accuracy.
In an editorial accompanying the NEJM article, M.D. Anderson researchers Drs. Roy Herbst and Scott Lippman commented that the Taiwan study "reflects the maturation of the first phase of lung-cancer genomics, which has been based on stored tissue and clinical charts. The field is now poised to begin its next phase - conducting prospective trials of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early lung cancer who are selected because they have a high risk of relapse or metastasis according to the molecular signature identified by Chen et al or others."
ASCO/CAP Publish Guidelines on HER2 Testing in Breast Cancer
An expert panel convened by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has released new guideline recommendations on testing for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in women with breast cancer.
HER2 status has important implications for prognosis, response to therapy, and selection of therapy, the panel wrote in the January 1 Journal of Clinical Oncology. This includes the use of the targeted therapy trastuzumab (Herceptin), which has proven in randomized clinical trials to improve response rates, time to progression, and survival in women with early-stage and metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2.
Yet, the available evidence suggests that a significant portion of HER2 testing results may be wrong, the panel explained. They highlighted, for instance, two prospective substudies of randomized clinical trials investigating the adjuvant use of trastuzumab which found that "20 percent of HER2 assays performed in the field … were incorrect when the same specimen was re-evaluated in a high-volume, central laboratory. Such a disorganized practice and high rate of inaccuracy, for such an important test that dictates a critically effective yet potentially life-threatening and expensive treatment, is not acceptable."
The recommendations, based on a systematic and thorough review of the available literature, lay out an optimal algorithm for HER2 testing, as well as requirements for the two primary techniques by which such testing is performed, fluorescent in situ hybridization, or FISH, and immunohistochemistry, or IHC. It also includes recommendations on optimal tissue handling, internal validation and quality assurance procedures, external proficiency assessment, and laboratory accreditation.
Study Shows How Arsenic Treatment Kills Rare Leukemia Cells
A new study from researchers at Dartmouth Medical School has shown how arsenic treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a rare form of myelocytic leukemia, destabilizes lysosomes in APL cells. It also induces the degradation of an oncogenic protein resulting from the fusion of the promyelocytic leukemia (PLM) protein and the retinoic acid receptor α (RAR-α), which can lead to apoptosis of APL cells, according to results published in the January 3 JNCI.
Dr. Sutisak Kitareewan and colleagues treated three APL cell lines with sodium arsenite to induce lysosomal destabilization. The researchers detected and measured activity of lysosomal protease cathepsin L and conducted in vitro degradation assays of PML/RAR-α in cell lysates with and without protease inhibitors.
The study found that arsenite treatment destabilized lysosomes in APL cells. These arsenite-treated APL cells showed an increase in lysosomal cathepsin L activity, and the lysates from the treated cells induced PML/RAR-α degradation, leading to cell death, or apoptosis.
The researchers concluded, "Future studies should be directed toward elucidating the mechanism of arsenite-induced release of lysosomal enzymes and determining whether arsenite treatment of nonhematopoietic tumor cells as well as other hematopoietic tumor cells act through a similar mechanism."
Treating Lung Cancer in Nonsmokers and Former Light Smokers
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigators
Why This Trial Is Important
In this trial, previously untreated NSCLC patients who never smoked or are former light smokers will be treated with either erlotinib alone or erlotinib in combination with the drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel.
"Lung cancer in nonsmokers is really a different disease than lung cancer in smokers," said Dr. Janne. "Nonsmokers are much more likely to have activating mutations in EGFR, and erlotinib seems to be effective in patients with such mutations.
"We hope to show that erlotinib, either given alone or in combination with chemotherapy, is useful as a first-line therapy for these patients," Dr. Janne commented.

More Data Needed on Hormone Use and Breast Cancer Rates
Cancer registries around the country are sending NCI their most recent statistics, and all eyes will be watching to see whether the incidence of breast cancer declined in 2004 for a third straight year, ending a rise that began in the early 1980s.
Epidemiologists noted last year in the Annual Report to the Nation on cancer that incidence rates leveled off in 2002 and 2003, but they wanted another year of data before deciding whether the change was a true reversal of a trend or a random fluctuation.
"We look at trends, and in general we like to see 3 consecutive years," says Dr. Brenda K. Edwards of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), the senior author of the Report. "2004 will give us what we need."
If the decline persists (an answer is expected in April), Dr. Edwards and many others will be asking why the rates went down. The likely answer is multiple reasons, including screening and prevention programs.
But a growing number of researchers are now considering the declining use of hormone replacement therapy as a factor in breast cancer incidence.
Millions of women stopped taking the drugs to treat menopausal symptoms after a large national study, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), reported in July 2002 that certain hormones increased the risk of breast cancer and also heart disease.
Many clinicians have wondered whether the declining use of hormones might eventually influence breast cancer rates.
Last month at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, researchers said the answer was yes. They presented a new analysis of incidence data that showed a dramatic overall decline of 7 percent between 2002 and 2003.
The largest decline - 12 percent - occurred in women who had estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. This type of cancer may depend on hormones for continued growth.
The only plausible explanation for the results was a decrease in the use of hormone therapy that happened at about the same time, the researchers said.
Dr. Peter Ravdin of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center presented the results and a scientific abstract (a study has not yet been published).
"When we saw that breast cancer rates had gone down, we looked at various risk factors and the role of screening, but hormone therapy stood out," says Dr. Kathy Cronin, a mathematical statistician in NCI's DCCPS and co-author of the abstract.
"Screening might still play a role as well, and of course we're waiting for the 2004 data," Dr. Cronin adds.
The researchers caution that epidemiological data cannot show cause and effect.
Their hypothesis is that the effect of taking away the hormones was to slow the growth of some tumors so that many small tumors went undetected when women went in for their mammograms.
"No one thinks stopping hormone therapy is preventing the initiation of breast cancer, but everyone feels that it is slowing the growth of tumors by taking away some of their fuel," says Dr. Donald Berry of M.D. Anderson, who led the research.
"All we've seen so far is this precipitous drop in incidence," Dr. Berry adds. It is possible that small tumors not detected in 2003 might eventually grow and be detected later.
He believes the future incidence data will offer clues about what happens biologically when hormones are stopped - whether the effect is to slow tumor growth, to stop growth, or potentially even to cause tumors to regress.
If incidence rates remain low for several years, that is pretty good evidence of a substantial slowing of tumor growth and maybe even stopping, says Dr. Berry.
If, on the other hand, rates go back up and other risk factors remain constant, then stopping the hormones is probably only slowing growth.
In the coming months, the researchers will use statistical modeling to assess the relative contributions of hormone therapy, screening, and other factors on sharp declines in incidence rates. "That's what we can do right now," says Dr. Cronin.
The modeling can simulate the effects of stopping hormone therapy for the population, and a resurgence of hormone use could be factored in, should one occur.
Modeling could also address the fact that after hormone therapy is stopped, a woman's breast density changes, and small tumors are easier to detect by mammography.
The effects on mortality, if there are any, would not be seen for many years and would be difficult to assess given the complexity of the disease, says Dr. Berry.
"This is an intriguing hypothesis, and I would guess that the declining use of estrogen plus progestin certainly plays a role," says Dr. Leslie Ford, associate director for clinical research in NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP).
"But I don't think we can totally rule out other factors such as screening and the preventative effects of tamoxifen and raloxifene," says Dr. Ford. "It would be too neat a story to say that we announced the results of WHI and breast cancer went away. It's just not that simple."
The picture is certainly complicated. Some women, for instance, may have gone off hormones and then come back on later, but at a different dosage.
Furthermore, any analysis would have to focus solely on estrogen-plus-progestin therapy because estrogen-alone therapy is not associated with an increased breast cancer risk.
Prescription rates for both types of hormone therapy fell rapidly after the WHI results appeared. The new analysis suggests that incidence rates were affected almost immediately.
The short time frame is surprising but may be consistent with what epidemiological studies have shown, according to Dr. Christine Berg of NCI's DCP, who has been treating women and studying the effects of hormones on breast cancer for 25 years.
She points to a study, published in The Lancet in 1997, that says the risks of hormone therapy decline within 1 to 4 years after the therapy is stopped. By the fifth year after stopping, the risk is back to where it was before the hormone use began.
Given the preponderance of evidence on the adverse effects of hormones on breast cancer and also vascular disease, women who are still taking hormones should consider stopping them, says Dr. Berg.
"Physicians need to discuss this increasing body of evidence with their patients," she says.
The message for women is to avoid estrogen-plus-progesterone replacement therapy, adds Dr. Jo Anne Zujewski, who oversees breast cancer trials for NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program.
"We have made this recommendation before because there are serious risks and there are not long-term benefits," says Dr. Zujewski. If hormone therapy is recommended for debilitating menopausal symptoms, the duration of use should be limited, she says.
Several weeks before the San Antonio meeting, researchers in California published their state's incidence statistics for 2004 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology after the data were finalized early.
At least in California, the decline in 2003 rates persisted for another year and could not be explained by variables such as screening.
"Since the national data won't be released until later this spring, we thought it was important to show that in California the drop continued in 2004," says Dr. Christina Clarke of the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry and Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Her team looked at data on mammography rates from Kaiser Permanente to see if this might explain the drop, but screening rates were stable "any way you look at it," she says.
"I don't think there's a study design that will allow us to look at this phenomenon and answer the question of causation," says Dr. Clarke. "We're going to continue to watch the trend and think about it and rule out possible factors as we can."
Dr. Berry predicts that the national data for 2004 will show a plateau, and he is more interested in what might be learned from 2005 and 2006 data. But he has confidence in the current hypothesis.
"People say that now we have to wait and see what happens, but that's not necessary in my view," says Dr. Berry. "We have very compelling information that withdrawing the hormones is causing the lion's share of the effect."
"The future information will tell us about the biology of the effect, but the effect itself is very clear," he adds.
Dramatic shifts in cancer trends are rare, but they do occur and can be triggered by a single event, such as a public figure's diagnosis with cancer.
"We've seen this before when Betty Ford got breast cancer and when Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with colon cancer," says Dr. Edwards. "These events have an impact on people's behavior, and in this case it would be the WHI results."

She received many awards, including the University of Connecticut's first Outstanding Alumni Award for Leadership in Nursing, the U.S. Public Health Service's Distinguished Service Medal, the NIH Director's Award, and the Good Housekeeping Award for Women in Government. She authored or contributed to more than 170 articles in medical journals and textbooks. She also earned a master's degree in public administration from American University.
Guidelines Released for Accessing PCPT Biorepository Samples
Guidelines on how to access the PCPT biospecimens were recently released by the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), the research network in charge of the trial, and are posted on the SWOG Web site and linked from the NCI PCPT Web page.
PCPT was a study designed to see whether the drug finasteride (Proscar) could prevent prostate cancer in men ages 55 and older. The trial began in October 1993 and was stopped in June 2003 because of a clear finding that finasteride reduced the incidence of prostate cancer. Trial participants had annual PSA exams and most had prostate biopsies at the end of the trial.

- The splash will not trigger upon attacking towers, but will upon attacking inhibitors.
- Both Righteous Fury's damage to the primary target and the area of effect component apply spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 15% slow.
- A Cooldown reduction of 37.5% or greater will allow Kayle to have a continuous use of Righteous Fury until her mana is depleted.
- Righteous Fury has no projectile and thus bypasses Yasuo's Wind Wall.
Ability Details
Intervention is a single-target ability that can only be cast on allied champions.
Additional Information:
- Intervention has no cast time and does not interrupt Kayle's previous orders.
- The invincibility applies to all forms of damage, including true damage. The only exception is damage applied by the Nexus Obelisk, which will ignore the ability's effect.

What is the difference between the Web Permits application, E-Track, and the phone system?
Both systems provide the ability to schedule inspections, hear inspection results, and get complete inspection history. E-Track allows you to schedule multiple inspections in one transaction. You must be a registered user with the E-Track portal in order to schedule or cancel inspections. E-Track provides the ability for you to print this out on your own printer. You do not need to be registered to use the phone inspection request line, but you do need the unique pin number associated with that permit.
What else can I do with E-Track besides schedule an inspection?
You can see a list of all currently scheduled inspections, display and print all inspection history, and retrieve general permit information (address, status, description of work, etc.) you are associated to which you are associated. Inspection results are available from this web site as soon as the inspector posts the information into the Permitting system. Please remember that you need to be a registered user.
What if I don't have my permit number or pin number?
You can locate your permit number by registering and logging into land.redmond.gov or searching on land.redmond.gov under the permits section by your address. Remember your address number and street name go in separate fields. You can also call 425-556-2473 and speak with a permit technician.

(RNN) - Anything to fill time. That is apparently the motto of all announcers sitting on the sidelines of NCAA Tournament games.
You think they drop those anecdotes in the middle of possessions to add color?
No, my friend. They just need a way to entertain you while hiding their exasperation over having basketball injected into their veins for the past three weeks.
You might fight mental fatigue with dry wine. They fight mental fatigue with dry stories.
But we got news for you, play-by-play analysts, bloggers and slightly unattractive men who only crawl out of your holes to spew "expert knowledge" of a sporting event that defies predictability:
We. Don't. Care.
There, I said it. Someone had to. If we hear a story once, it may be slightly entertaining, possibly even interesting. But you guys kill the beauty of filling in the blanks by running with something until it drops dead.
The only reason we don't hate you is because there aren't many people in the world talented enough to scream for three consecutive days without breaking a sweat, so we kind of need you.
But we definitely don't need this:
The first lady of Florida Gulf Coast University, head coach Andy Enfield's wife, is a former swimsuit model. Good for her and good for Andy.
You TV guys could at least give her the dignity of mentioning her name (it's Amanda Marcum, by the way) before flashing pictures of her in a bikini.
Anyone who isn't over this already has probably found her old magazine covers and taped them to a pillow. Just saying.
Really, ESPN?
It's bad enough that we have to stealthily peruse our brackets during work hours, lest we get caught doing something unproductive at work.
Now we have to explain why there are two buxom women in barely adequate clothing on either side of our computer screens.
Your "creative marketing" has not only added to the already high stress level of 8-to-5'ers everywhere, it has also significantly increased the workload of HR departments.
We hope you're happy with yourselves.
By naming his race horses after them. This is an old story, but it came back up because (and this is a guess) journalists who cover Louisville got tired of talking about how good the team is.
Because really, who wants to watch a basketball game and hear thoughtful analysis of one of the most balanced teams in the country for 40 minutes? Well, maybe Joe Lunardi and Nate Silver. Wait, that was meant to be a rhetorical question.
On the other hand, it beats naming your kids after fruits or colors, [insert random celebrity couple here].
It's cute in a Tasmanian devil sort of way, but we have eyes. We see the kid is clearly not an "aw shucks, just trying to help the team win" type of ball player.
Why do we need a cutaway shot and replays every single time he celebrates a 3-pointer with his landshark impersonation? As an aside, that also looks like the word for "father" in American Sign Language (it helps to be bilingual these days, you know).
This might have been a better story if Ole Miss had a greater chance of winning this tournament. But as it stands, the coverage of Henderson's antics turned him and the team into a sideshow, which is unfortunate.
This is actually pretty cool, to tell the truth. Who doesn't want to see a 63-year-old man firing up his team with an impersonation of the Greatest of All Time?
We can enjoy this until it shows up about a dozen times during a game, turns into a meme and annoys us until it dies a slow, digital death.
Also worth noting: Christian Laettner listened to Public Enemy and Smashing Pumpkins before games (which explains a lot); Barry Larkin thinks his son, Shane, could have joined him in the 30-30 club; Oregon was underrated (perhaps the selection committee is overrated?).
