Kelley: CBP Authorization Should Address Staffing Needs
NTEU called on a key House subcommittee to include in pending CBP reauthorization legislation provisions authorizing the hiring of additional CBP Officers and Agriculture Specialists to help meet critical staffing needs at this vital agency.
President Kelley said Congress needs to enact legislation to provide a modest increase in customs and immigration user fees to help meet the administration goal of bringing the total number of CBP Officers to 25,775. NTEU is urging an increase in the immigration and customs user fees by $2 each. More
Adequately Funding CBP Leads to Economic Gains
In other congressional testimony, NTEU argued strongly for enactment of the White House fiscal 2015 budget proposal for CBP.
"The administration's fiscal 2015 budget recognizes that there is no greater roadblock to legitimate trade and travel efficiency than the lack of sufficient staff at the ports," said President Kelley.
'Delays at the ports result in real losses to the U.S. economy," she told the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee in submitted testimony, noting that more than 50 million Americans work for companies engaged in international trade. More
Uniform Settlement at CBP Reimburses Funds
NTEU reached a settlement agreement with CBP that reimburses employees for part of their unspent uniform allowances for fiscal 2013. The deal will return to employees part of the money they were unable to use for required uniforms and equipment because the agency did not have a vendor in place.
Employees who had unspent uniform allowance of $25 or more last year will be compensated roughly 40 percent of the amount not spent.

Stretch your imagination muscles with our favorite picture books all about pretending! These librarian-picked books are fun and funny and perfect for a family read aloud…
#10 Mitchell's License by Hallie Durand
Mitchell never wants to go to bed until, at the age of three years, nine months, and five days he gets his license so that he can drive there–at least until he and "the car" have a disagreement about what fuel goes in the tank.
#9 Can You Make a Scary Face? by Jan Thomas
A ladybug invites the reader to play a game of "let's pretend."
#8 Space Boy by Leo Landry
Having decided not to go to bed because his home is too noisy, Nicholas flies his spaceship to the Moon, where he enjoys a snack, takes a moonwalk, and enjoys the quiet–until he realizes what he is missing at home.
#7 Sally and the Purple Socks by Lisze Bechtold
When her tiny purple socks start to expand, Sally turns them into a scarf and then curtains, but things soon get out of hand.
#6 Peg Leg Peke by Brie Spangler
When Peke, a pekingese puppy breaks his leg, he fantasizes that he is a pirate in search of buried treasure.
#5 Alexander's Pretending Day by Bunny Crumpacker
When Alexander asks his mother questions, they use their imaginations to play together
#4 My Garden by Kevin Henkes
After helping her mother weed, water, and chase the rabbits from their garden, a young girl imagines her dream garden complete with jellybean bushes, chocolate rabbits, and tomatoes the size of beach balls.
#3 Lets Do Nothing by Tony Fucile
Frankie and Sal have run out of things to do: "We've played every sport ever invented" and "baked enough cookies to feed a small country–" Then Sal hits upon a solution: "Let's do nothing!" How hard could that be?
#2 Chalk by Bill Thomson
A wordless picture book about three children who go to a park on a rainy day, find some chalk, and draw pictures that come to life.
#1 Not a Box by Antoinette Portis
To an imaginative bunny, a box is not always just a box.
Imaginative play is not only fun, it is crucial to your child's development and it supports early literacy. Pretending encourages extended vocabulary use, narrative skills and gives children a way to problem-solve and explore new interests in a safe environment. For more reasons why an imagination is your child's greatest tool, read this article from the Scholastic web site.

Oct. 4 marks the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, an Italian saint who had a special place in his heart for animals.
The 12th century holy man wrote of his love for the birds and even tells a story of giving up his hovel so that a donkey could escape the cold.
In honor of the saint, the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe is hosting the area's first pet blessing.
Pets of all shapes and sizes are invited to congregate in the Corpus Christi Catholic Church parking lot at 905 W. Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, Calif. 96145. The event will start at 4 p.m.
For the blessing, a prayer will be offered, after which the pet is gently sprinkled with holy water. According to Dale Lawrence, membership coordinator for the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe, most pets receive this sacramental spritz with dignity.
There is no need to make a reservation. However, the society asks that dogs be on a leash, cats be in a crate and birds be in a cage.
Treats for dogs and cats will be provided by Scraps Bakery of Tahoe City and Tails by the Lake.
The Blessing of Pets:
"Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen."

However, unlike Little League where it's hard to find a father who didn't play baseball at some point in his life, a generation gap exists in soccer. Many parents never played soccer when they were younger and are unable to pass down the necessary skills needed by these young kids to fully understand the game.
That's one of the reasons Spanish Springs boys soccer coach Rob Moreland created the Advantage Program, which is part of the Spanish Springs Soccer Club.
"The reason I started it is because we kept getting AYSO kids up in high school, and they were lacking some skills," Moreland said. "We figured if we put the best coaches together with the younger kids, it would give them a nice foundation of technical ability, passing, receiving and shooting. Stuff like that. I think it has gone well. A lot of kids are enjoying themselves. Parents are enjoying themselves."
The Advantage Program is now in its second year of existence. It runs for 10 weeks from the middle of March to the middle of May and two days a week, girls and boys from ages 4-10 get together at Lazy 5 Regional Park to learn skills and technique as well as play games for about an hour and a half.
The Advantage Program focuses on building the necessary skills needed to succeed at the next level. It is believed that putting the youngest players together with high level coaching will provide players with a solid base of technical skills. Moreland is a USSF "A" license coach and has played and coached professionally. SSHS girls varsity coach Mike Faker is also a coach in the program.
Around 60 kids are in the program this year.
Moreland admits since most of these kids live in the Spanish Springs area, he does have a slight ulterior motive. He wants to help these kids become strong soccer players, so if they grow up and play for the Cougars, the SSHS coaching staff will have players with greater skills. Moreland also says this program is about building up the entire area and preparing young athletes for playing in club, high school or even if they decide to go to the AYSO.
But another reason Moreland created this program was to help the parents. Moreland chose the name Advantage because there is a rule in soccer by the same name. If a foul is committed on an offensive player, but the offense maintains possession and is still heading toward the goal, the referee allows play to continue. Many parents don't realize that's a rule. Go to a high school game and you will probably hear parents screaming at the refs about many calls or no-calls.
"It's crucial for the parents because they start to understand what the game is really about instead of just kicking the ball toward that goal," Moreland said. "I want them to understand the advantage law, so they aren't yelling at the refs when their kid gets fouled. It's so the refs have a better time, too. Because we're losing them at the same rate as we're losing kids at the older age groups. Parents are making it real bad. I'm trying to make it so parents are more educated, so they'll know. The uneducated ones are the ones who are complaining to the refs, and the refs think 'I don't need this.' That's the other reason wanted to get this done. To help the parents understand."
The first half of each practice is spent working on skills and doing drills. The second half sees the kids break off into teams and play in a game atmosphere. What Moreland envisions for the future of the program is the other soccer clubs in the area, like from Reno or Tahoe, will create similar programs and they can all get together on Saturdays for jamborees where everyone plays each other.
While some might wonder what kind of skills a 4-year-old can really grasp at that age, Moreland has seen the light bulb turn on for a lot of these children quickly.
"It's amazing. They catch on real quick," he said.
Faker, who is coaching the 7- and 8-year-old boys and girls, has noticed the same thing and enjoys the younger age groups.
"It's a little different because I'm used to high school kids. It's definitely a different ball game altogether," Faker said. "We're spending a lot of time working on ball skills like how to touch the ball with the right surface on the foot and dribbling the ball. Last year, I had the 7- and 8-year-olds, and we did a lot of stuff with (1-versus-1) and teaching kids some moves like fit-and-fake and step-overs. A lot of the kids picked it up.
"It's kind of funny because when kids at the high school level show up, they don't have the ability to throw a fit-and-fake or some sort of move to beat someone 1-v-1. I've got kids who are 7 years old trying it, which is pretty cool."

The problem with sarcasm is anyone can use it, and somtimes they do. Sarcasm is an art, beautiful with wit if done right, and cliche if not. The rule spreads to all humor, you never know how bad your own is. I am often sarcastic, but I use it an artful way. When I'm sarcastic I often leave people thinking I wasn't, and that's how I like it. If you think I'm being sarcastic, and I'm not, that's your problem. Don't worry about it.

Fame is fleeting. A few days ago, I had to explain to an angry reader the difference between current Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, multiple world boxing champion Julio César Chávez and the late great Latino labor leader who died in 1993.
So why should we celebrate the life of this little guy with the big voice? Look around you at all the anger and despair fanned into mindless action by demagogues seeking political advantage. Corporate shills offer people easy scapegoats to blame for their shrinking piece of the American pie. Good old Southern racism has risen from ugly undercurrent to media mainstream.
Which perhaps explains why the Texas school board in recent years has tried with some success to surgically remove from history books the likes of César Chávez, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and even President Thomas Jefferson. After California, Texas is the second largest purchaser of textbooks and often rewrites history or science to fit the whims of Bushite neanderthals.
César and his fellow Texas degradados teach us important lessons from long ago. All of them used their considerable communication skills to organize citizens. Chávez and King continue to show us how to fight for a fair shake for the little guy, which makes them dangerous men to this very day. They moved mountains non-violently, a lesson we apparently must relearn every few weeks.
Viva la causa
It would not be Chávez Day without some community organizing and Wednesday's event will be jam-packed. The Reno-Sparks NAACP and Sierra Nevada Community Access Television (SNCAT) will be soliciting new members. The NAACP will also announce the date of its annual Freedom Fund Banquet. The U.S. Census will be around pestering people to send in that damned questionnaire. (I have some roasty remarks prepared for them. If you can't come up with a few jokes about the census, you need new writers.) The Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN) will be on hand to make the case to raise the tax on the state's mining industry.
And those are just the sideshows during cocktail hour.
The fun stuff begins after dinner with the inaugural César Chávez Silver State Public Service Awards, all of which are being engraved by the descendants of John Langhans at Greenbrae Trophy Center in Sparks.
The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority will share union project of the year honors with Sparks-based Q&D Construction for the $63 million expansion of the facility's baggage check-in area. The employer of the year honor goes to Save Mart, a very efficiently managed and totally unionized retailer. The company is sending representatives as is United Food and Commercial Workers Local 711/AFL-CIO.
The jury is still out on who will win union organizer of the year and I am keeping under wraps the identity of the first Nevada César Chávez Hall of Fame inductee. Ten members of César Chávez's immediate family will attend, including his brother Librado. I suspect that a few politicians might also show up.
Doors to the Circus Circus Mandalay Convention Center open at 5:30 p.m. this Wednesday, César Chávez's 83rd birthday. Dinner starts at 7 p.m. We'll have music and a few surprises. For tickets and additional information, go to CesarChavezNevada.com.
Show within a show
SNCAT is the nonprofit beneficiary of this year's celebration. The station airs programming in various languages on any subject, including many of interest to the burgeoning Latino community. SNCAT board member and producer Elvira Diaz will be doing some shooting for a TV series on racial and ethnic mutual support.

Best time to visit Philippines
With a year-round warm climate, expect hot weather when visiting the Philippines at any time of the year. Sea breezes prevail in the coastal regions between November and February, so travel during this time if you wish to take the edge off the heat. January to May are considered the optimum times to visit though, as it is best to avoid the typhoon season which runs from July to October and involves heavy rain, flooding and high winds.

Top 5 Fun Festivals of the Philippines
1. Ati-Atihan
With a history that dates all the way back to 1210, this flamboyant festival is considered one of the Philippines' best. Think massive ostentatious costumes, loud drumming, floats of parading dancers, riotous crowds and a healthy dose of partying and you've got Ati-Atihan - the Philippines' best shot at Rio Carnaval.
2. Grand Cordillera Festival
Baguio reserves the fourth last week of November to celebrate life and local culture with ethnic songs, dance, costume and food. This festival spreads peace and tolerance and provides an interesting snapshot of the lives of the ethnic people of the northern Luzon area.
3. Dinagyang
Iloilo City gets its chance to party with its own version of Ati-Atihan. City streets are decked out with colourful banners, street stalls sizzle with barbecued pork, and chicken and costumed dancers compete for glory.
4. Feast of Our Lady of Candles
This annual display of epic religious pageantry features a procession of the patroness, fiesta queen and court through the streets and town centre of Jaro. Locals carry candles and a statue of the Virgin Mary to the town cathedral, where crowds of people wait. This spirited and vibrant festival is a great introduction to Filipino culture and religious celebration.
5. Obando Fertility Festival
Want to see couples dance through the streets in aid of hopefully producing a child? Each year, the town of Bulacan holds this festival for childless couples who wish to produce children. Couples dance down the street to the local church, dance up the aisle and attend mass in honour of the three local patron saints.

Philippines Travel Tips
Intrepid is committed to travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, their culture, local economies and the environment.

Top responsible travel tips for Philippines
1. Be considerate of the Philippines' customs, traditions, religion and culture.
2. Dress modestly and respectfully. Shoulders to knees should be covered, especially when entering places of worship.
3. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water.
4. Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
5. When bargaining at markets, stay calm, be reasonable and keep a smile on your face. It's meant to be fun!
6. Learn some of the local language and don't be afraid to use it - simple greetings will help break the ice.
7. Shop for locally made products. Supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive.
8. Refrain from supporting businesses that exploit or abuse endangered animals.
9. Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.
10. When on community visits or homestays, refrain from giving gifts or money to locals.

• See the full UNO master plan document (PDF)
The new master plan for the University of Nebraska at Omaha aims for a more vibrant campus through improved parking and transit, greater density and more on-campus housing.
The plan was presented Thursday to the NU Board of Regents during a campus visit.
Michael Johnson, principal of Smith Group JJR, said the plan looks to meet UNO's needs for the next 30 to 40 years and is designed to accommodate, but not mandate, 20,000 students. UNO has set a goal to grow to 20,000 students by 2020. Enrollment increased 3 percent this fall, to 15,227.
"This is a plan that provides a metropolitan vision for UNO as we think about enrollment growth in the future," Johnson said.
The plan looks at the campus as three distinct areas — the Dodge, Pacific and Center Street Campuses, with the Dodge Street Campus considered the heart of UNO activities.
Previously, many have referred to a main and south campus, now called Dodge Street and Pacific Street, respectively.
The third is the Center Street Campus, envisioned as UNO's recreational and athletic home under the plan. The anchor will be a new $87.9 million arena at 67th and Center Streets, which will be home to UNO hockey, men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams. The new arena is scheduled to open in 2015.
The campus south of Center Street also could include baseball and softball stadiums, outdoor and indoor tennis courts and outdoor fields for multiple sports.
The master plan, on which the regents took no action Thursday, offers a conceptual look at potential future projects. Its focus is on a stronger sense of student life and developing an identifiable campus character.
It does not envision pushing the boundaries of the campus beyond the current footprint. New academic buildings and dorms would be planned within those boundaries, Johnson said, and the Dodge Street Campus could be centered on a grassy area known as the Pep Bowl, north of the new soccer pitch at Caniglia Field. Beautification projects along Dodge would also improve the character for entering students, Johnson said.
Residential dorms in the Dodge Street and Pacific Street Campuses are also intended to give each an identifiable feel and character, Johnson said.
Johnson said better connecting the three campuses, separated by Elmwood Park but connected with main roads, through the existing on-campus bus system would alleviate parking stress. The plan also emphasizes making the campus more friendly to bikers and walkers.
If parking were more focused around the perimeter of the UNO campus and connections between the sections were stronger, Johnson said, students would have to park only once to move around campus.
Regent Hal Daub of Omaha said it's important to keep parking available, because so many UNO students have part-time jobs and may have a tight turnaround between class and work.
"Our students need to get to work and to and from class more conveniently than maybe on other locations," Daub said.
The goals in the master plan — greater density and more housing — are key not only to recruitment but to keeping more students, said B.J. Reed, UNO's senior vice chancellor of academic affairs. Creating Greek housing or space for families and international students all provide growth opportunities and are ideas that UNO hasn't tried yet, he said.
UNO Chancellor John Christensen said more on-campus housing is the greatest priority. There's a waiting list for campus housing, and a lack of space has become a deciding factor for students thinking about UNO, Christensen said.
Most metropolitan universities of UNO's size have 7 to 10 percent more available housing, he said.

I just spent the weekend at Powershift. Powershift is a climate summit, organized by Energy Action, organizing students and youth around global warming and climate justice issues. It featured hundreds of workshops, panels and networking meetings where youth from Alaska to Appalachia got together and educated and organized themselves to do something about the climate crisis. I mostly floated around the coal and skills-based workshops. There was a lot of energy, so much energy. Every workshop and state breakouts I attended was packed with what seemed like hundreds of youth fired up to stop global warming in it's tracks.
Then, today was the action day. These youth are using a diversity of tactics to stop fossil fuel, banks, craven politicians and other proponents of profit over people and the planet. This morning, Powershifters lobbied their congresspeople about the issue, they had a rally at the capital and, then, RAN, Coal River Mountain Watch, SEAC and lots of friends and allies organized a non-violent direct action at a Citi bank branch in downtown DC.
There are those magic words–direct action.
Before the rally began, community members from directly impacted communities in Appalachia entered the branch to dialogue with the bank's managment and employees about their employer's policies. Then a group of students went in to talk with investment bankers about what the money from their student loans are being used for.
At the rally close to 300 people rallied at a park and then marched on a Citi branch. At the bank we performed a mass cough-in/die-in, dumped wheelbarrels full of coal on the doorstep and literally put that Citi branch out of business for the day using the die-in and mounds of coal as our blockades.
Along with communicating to Citi, the media and passers-by that we're not happy that Citi funds coal from the cradle to the grave. Along with introducing a new generation of social and environmental activists to creative direct action tactics. Along with sending delegations of directly impacted community members and students to dialogue with the bank employees and managment, we literally stopped that Citi branch's business for the day. They locked the doors (even on the ATM's) and sent their employees home.
It was a great and empowering moment. As someone who spends a lot of time with a lot of activists across communities and movements, I saw something different today. These people, my people, are not taking "No" for an answer. And I felt suddenly very much part of a movement.
See all the pictures here, and check out the press release here.

Former British Cabinet minister Chris Huhne—once one of the country's leading politicians— has pleaded guilty to the charge of obstruction of justice over a career-wrecking attempt to pin a speeding penalty on his wife.
Prosecutors say Huhne in 2003 persuaded economist Vicky Pryce to say she had been driving the car, so he could avoid a driving ban. Huhne repeatedly denied wrongdoing, but he was forced to step down as a minister after being charged.
His career in shambles, Huhne changed his plea from innocent to guilty at London's Southwark Crown Court on Monday. He later emerged from court to tell reporters he was resigning from his parliamentary seat as well.
Before the scandal broke, Huhne was seen as one of the nation's top politicians, only narrowly losing to Nick Clegg for the leadership of Britain's third place Liberal Democrats Party in 2007.
The Liberal Democrats went on to form a coalition with Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party, handing Clegg the position of deputy prime minister. At that point, many still thought of the 58-year-old Huhne as Clegg's likely successor.
Huhne now faces the prospect of a prison term. Obstruction of justice carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, although the penalty generally averages around a year.
Pryce's willingness to take the heat for her husband did not save their marriage. The pair split in 2010 after it was revealed he had an affair with his public relations adviser. She faces a separate trial, due to begin Tuesday.
In a statement, Clegg said he was "shocked and saddened" by Huhne's guilty plea but said he had "taken the right decision" by resigning. Cameron's spokesman declined to comment on Huhne's guilty plea or resignation.

Padgett, a Democrat, represents District 1, which encompasses much of the north end of the county including Log Hill, Colona and Pleasant Valley. She has held the seat since 2008. Come November, she will be facing off against third-generation rancher and Log Hill resident Jack Flowers, who announced his candidacy as a Republican candidate for the BOCC last month.
Padgett has lived in Ouray County since 1999.
Padgett kicked off her 2012 campaign at a sudsy gathering at the Colorado Boy brewery in Ridgway on Saturday, Feb. 25, where she first thanked her husband Jeff for "letting me run again."
"You hear everyone say you really depend on your spouse for a lot of things, but Jeff has gone above and beyond what a spouse typically would do," she said.
Touching on her accomplishments and priorities over the past four years, Padgett started with water issues, and in particular, the Good Samaritan legislation that she is traveling to the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. this week to support. (Padgett is on the Colorado Counties Public Lands Committee, which will cover her hotel, travel, and registration fees for the trip.)
The Ouray County Commissioners have joined with the other counties around the region to endorse Good Samaritan mining legislation, which would modify discharge permits for abandoned mine cleanup, improve water quality, and increase job opportunities in mining areas.
"That would be huge for our watershed, to allow bonafide groups that have no connection to the historic mining to clean up or improve water quality," Padgett said, referring to the Animas River Stakeholders in Silverton as a prime example of such a group.
Padgett has long described the Clean Water Act as a regulatory hurdle that inhibits the rebirth of small-scale responsible mining in the San Juans. "If we can actually have a new mine come in under the Clean Water Act and do small scale or medium scale mining, that could be a good thing," she stressed.
Padgett also discussed her involvement with the REAL Colorado Initiative, a statewide initiative spawned in reaction to Gov. Hickenlooper's proposal to take much of the administration for social services out of the hands of counties and shift it to state agencies. REAL is an effort by many Colorado county commissioners and social/human services directors to make sure government is "Responsive, Efficient, Accountable, and Locally driven" because "the most effective governance results from local, state and federal officials working in true partnership toward the development and implementation of programs and services."
Padgett and Albritton will be among the representatives from Colorado counties traveling to Washington, DC to take the same message to Colorado's seven Congressional District Representatives and two Colorado Senators on March 7.
"We need to have a partnership with the federal and state government," Padgett said. "We need to continue to show up in both D.C. and Denver and make sure that the unfunded mandates don't come. When Ouray County goes to Denver and testifies on a bill, we may not always get our way, but people are paying more and more attention to Ouray County and the San Juans."
Padgett touted her track record at the county over the past three-plus years as a budget hawk, enumerating the ways she has helped save the county money. On her watch, Padgett said, the county has saved $22,000 a year in fuel and heating costs for the assessor's office and the courthouse; trimmed $14,000 from its phone and Internet bill; dropped $40,500 from its annual cost for housing inmates in the Montrose County Detention Center, while adding inmate health insurance to protect Ouray County taxpayers from liability; scaled back its bill for the Homemaker Program from $60,000 to $8,000 annually while looking for better local solutions to meet the needs of the elderly and disabled population and help them be able to continue living in Ouray County; and kick-started an initiative for the Board of County Commissioners to "go paperless," thereby saving the county "reams and reams of paper" and staff time in collating BOCC packets for each meeting.
"I promise to make informed and intelligent decisions. I also promise to increase the transparency and accountability of our county government," Padgett said.
Padgett's candidacy for a second term as county commissioner further defines the field for the upcoming BOCC election in Ouray County. Local pols predict the race could be fierce. Commissioner Heidi Albritton is term-limited and will not seek another term for her District 3 seat. Former commissioner Don Batchelder of Ridgway, who himself was term-limited out of office several years ago but is now eligible to run again, made his run for the vacant District 3 position official just prior to the Republican caucus on Feb. 7. No other candidates have officially come forward yet to contest Batchelder, although Ridgway mayor Pat Willits has unofficially indicated he may consider a BOCC run as an independent. Willits is not seeking reelection as Ridgway mayor in municipal elections coming up this spring.
District lines in Ouray County were redrawn in 2011 in response to the 2010 census, eliminating the old dividing line between Districts 2 and 3 down the center of Ouray along Highway 550. New district boundaries take a "Neapolitan ice cream" approach, more or less slicing the county into three north-south layers. The northern district (District 1) includes Log Hill, Colona and Pleasant Valley. District 2, the southern layer, encompasses all of the city of Ouray. District 3 includes Ridgway, Cow Creek and Miller Mesa, ensuring that in the future, each geographic area of the county will be represented on the board.

Set the bar REALLY high! – My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years. It's where I first learned how to use chopsticks! They gave me "training" ones my first visit! LOL!
It has always been the same staff, they know our name, we know theirs and they make it so you feel you are among friends. I have never had low quality sushi here. Origamis 'worst' sushi day is the 'best' sushi day for most other places. So having said that, they set the bar really high so I always compare when I eat sushi elsewhere (don't know why I bother!). And actually, the price is pretty competitive. The fatty salmon is pure magic. Tastes so buttery and delicious! Worth every penny! I take everyone I know there!
Best place ever! – I have been going to Origami for over 2 years now, almost weekly. I am always more than satisfied with the service, the food and the atmosphere.
When you eat at a traditional Japanese rest. you need to have patience. This is not fast food- if you want that- there is a McD's in the parking lot. If they are busy- be prepared to wait for your food like an adult- as it is all made fresh, by hand and in the order the tickets are submitted. Only an idiot would run into a real restaurant starving and expect to be served their food in 10 minutes. Some items take longer to prepare, and they bring items as they are ready, as is proper.
The food is always delicious, and very fresh. I have eaten there over 100 times at this point, so obviously I think it is great. The prices are lower than most sushi and Japanese places in the Austin area, and I am so happy to say that when I order a vegetarian roll- it does not taste like fish. (Unfortunately I have been to many other sushi places that do not understand that cross-contamination is a bad thing. ) I have always enjoyed every bite at Origami!
They keep the place very clean, and the staff does their very best to keep up with all of the tables. They are usually pretty busy, and always get everyone what they need as soon as possible.
By far this is one of the top 5 restaurants I have eaten at in my life.
Best Sushi in Austin Area – I've been eating here for the last 6 years and the quality of the food has always been excellent. Whether it's from the kitchen or the sushi bar, it is regularly better than other sushi bars like Musashino and Uchi.
I see other reviewers complaining about the serving size/price or an automatic tip. I've eaten at many sushi bars all over the Austin area as well as other states. The prices at Origami have always been quite reasonable, and the serving portions the same as just about every other place I've been to, larger than most in fact.
With regard to the automatic tip poilcy. There may be one for large parties, but I'd say 99% of the places I've eaten say "Automatic gratuity on parties of 6 or larger." If that's the case here I wouldn't be shocked as some other people seem to be.
In short, go there, tell em Jonny sent you and say hi if I'm there, It's a good bet I will be, it's just that good.
Best Sushi in Round Rock – Dont let the strip mall location turn you off, this is one of the best sushi restaurants in the Austin area. I have eaten here many times over the last few years and rarely have I not been happy with the experience. The sushi is fresh and the decor is very warm. Seating at the bar, regular tables or on the floor if you want the traditional feel. Good selection of rolls if thats your thing. For those that want cheap, try going for lunch.
this is the real thing, go here! – recently told to check out this place in (of all places) round rock. this is THE BEST SUSHI outside of sticking your face in the ocean. i travel to japan frequently for business and can say this place must have smuggled back some talent. they have people who actually speak japanese and know the food! i found the prices were comparable to others in austin. the service was good and very friendly. went to another place last week called beluga just to see if this round rock thing was a fluke...goto origami.
Go to Beluga instead – Overpriced and the service is terrible! I've been twice and each time my husband got his food about 15 minutes before I got mine. The waitresses completely ignored us. They didn't even bring us water for about 5 minutes (we had to remind her 3 times). The sushi is just OK but not worth how long you have to wait for it.
Hypocrisy at its finest – It seems ironic to me that they they charge an automatic 15%-20% tip to every table.
I am a server myself, and a while back I waited on the head chef and the owner. They sat at my table for over 2.5 hours working on their new happy hour menu. They ordered drinks, and sent them back for ridiculous reasons. The chef sent his margarita back because it was made with sweet and sour. Well, thats what most margaritas are made of. In any event, he did't like it - no big deal. I excused his behavior. I knew that since they were in the service industry and there was nothing wrong with the service, they would leave a decent tip.
I was wrong. The chef and the owner tipped me LESS than 15%. Even 15% would have been unacceptable considering they sat there for almost three hours!
Based on this alone, I refuse to give them any of my money. I encourage anyone to do the same. To FORCE every guest in your restaurant to tip whether or not they received good service is ridiculous, but then to go out and not adhere to the same standards is an outrage.
Going Down Hill Fast... – I used to love this place and the owners, but they seem to have forgotten that it is loyal customers who pay for them to be in business.
We have always prided ourselves on tipping well 20% to 30% when we could afford it, but right now money is tight for everybody, and their automated tip policy seems no different than if they mugged us. Their food and portions are not that good... and their customer service has really suffered - this place does not in any way qualify for a 15% - 20% surcharge to their already expensive pricing.
With gas at almost $4.00 per gallon we have a lot less money available to spend on dining out... and when we choose to spend any extra money we have at a favorite restaurant, AND we bring friends to spend their money, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth to receive our bill with a 15% - 20% AUTOMATIC surcharge (automatic tip) because I brought friends and referred people to this place.
In my business, I reward customers for referring business, Origami penalizes you... They have lost our business - I had always enjoyed the owners, but not any longer. We feel disrespected and I think as you notice the increasing number of 1 to 2 star ratings for this place, they seriously need to make some adjustments before it is too late.
good food but poor service – this place has Japanese owner and I am Japanese, I used to love the place until recently I went there and they wrote tip themself and another time, last time I go there, we were enjoying our conversation with friends who usually don't go out much, we had lot to talk about...and then they could say something but large group came in and they wanted to kick us out...so they brought check and service stopped and I could hear what they are saying and understanding since I am Japanese..owner looked at me like why are you here still...and that was really rude...and I had to say to my dear friends that they are trying to kick us out by looking at me and no more service...so I had it with that restaurant...I rather go to Tokyo Stake House as that matter...they have much well mannered people work there...!!!!!!!!
Excellent Sushi in Round Rock – Great atmosphere, authentic Japanese hospitality, delicious food, reasonable prices.
I was in absolute heaven over the salmon, fatty tuna, amberjack, and tempura shrimp rolls.
Mmm. Mmm. Good.
P.S. They have real wasabi too. Who knew? All this time I thought mustard and horseradish with green food coloring was what it was all about.

Roger Knapp Tennis Center
Roger Knapp Tennis Center
2525 Clark St., Des Moines, IA, 50311
The Roger Knapp Tennis Center, completed in Oct. of 1992, features six indoor and six outdoor tennis courts. Athletic team lockers, meeting rooms and tennis coaches offices are located here as well.
Drake has hosted the Missouri Valley Conference Championships as well as the NCAA Regional and Rolex Tournament.
Already one of the finest on-campus indoor tennis facilities in the Midwest, the Roger Knapp Tennis Center added another amenity to its arsenal with the June 2012 completion of a resurfacing project for its six indoor and six outdoor courts.
The indoor courts maintained the same surface coating but afford players a little more spring in their games during competition.
A 100 percent acrylic finish, with a brand new color scheme, one comparable to that found at the Australian Open (dark blue on light blue), highlights the courts. The surface is similar to that used at both the U.S. Open and Australian Open and is a medium-fast surface. The new indoor surface boasts improved grip and playability as well as compliments the lighting of the facility.

Don't Get Organized, Get Enthralled
"…let us also lay aside every weight…and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1).
Do you want to be productive? Don't get organized. Get enthralled. Get smitten. Get on fire. Really want to do something. Want to do it bad enough that you are willing to say no to good things that will inhibit your doing what you really want to do.
Then work on organizing. Productivity systems will only help you when you know what you want to be productive about. Otherwise you'll always have more books to read, projects to complete, emails to answer, people to meet than you can possibly organize. You'll just shuffle stuff.
If you're passionate, you will prioritize your time. If you're dispassionate, you will dissipate your time.
I think the need of the hour is for more holy ambition, not more training in workflow systems. Listen to John Piper explain to children about how a holy ambition focuses us:
'Holy ambition' means something you really want to do that God wants you to do. Something you want to do so much that doing it keeps you from doing other things that you also really like to do. Paul really wanted to go to Rome for years1. But he didn't go because he wanted something else more. He wanted to preach the gospel in Asia and Greece where people didn't know about Jesus. He really, really, really wanted to do this. We call that kind of desire an 'ambition.' And we call it 'holy ambition' when it is something God wants you to do.2
Jesus' holy ambition is to call all his elect redeemed sheep (John 10:16). Paul's holy ambition was to preach the gospel where it has not ever been preached (Romans 15:20). What's your holy ambition? How are you seeking the kingdom first (Luke 12:31)? Is God calling you to do something that is compelling you to say no to good things that will only weigh you down (Hebrews 12:1)? Or are you finding your time dissipating?
Before the summer is over and time demands increase again, read A Holy Ambition. Read it to refocus on what God's global priority is and to stoke your own holy ambition.
And give it away to your friends, Sunday School class, small group, church. We're making cases of 68 copies of A Holy Ambition available for $79 ($1.16 ea.). Just click-through to our outreach case specials at the bottom of this page.
Jesus didn't say much about organizing. He did say a lot about passion for what's most important. Passion is a far better prioritizer than any productivity system. May this book help fan your holy ambition into a hotter flame so you will lay aside every unnecessary weight.
1See Romans 15:18-24.
2Piper, John. A Holy Ambition (Minneapolis: Desiring God), p. 15.
We're serious about moving books.
