Permit Process Overview
Public Works permit refers to the permitting of privately funded public improvements from one or more of the three infrastructure bureaus (the Bureau of Environmental Services, the Bureau of Transportation, and the Portland Water Bureau.)
The projects provide water services, storm and sanitary drainage facilities and transportation improvements for the benefit of the public.
These projects are generally constructed by a private developer and upon completion and acceptance by the city, these facilities become public assets.
A Public Works permit can be generated by one of the four processes listed on the diagram below.
- Public Works Early Assistance
- Land Use Requirement
- Building Plan Review Requirement
- Or an Inquiry Requirement
Once a requirement is made to initiate a public works process, one or more of the public works bureaus may require improvements to the public right-of-way.
Please use the forms available on this site to request meetings or submit plans at inquiry, concept development, design development or plan review.

Northampton have signed Wigan goalkeeper Lee Nicholls on loan.
Nicholls, 19, who had a temporary stint at Town's npower League Two rivals Accrington last season, will remain at Sixfields until the end of October.
"We needed a keeper who has talent and Football League experience," said boss Aidy Boothroyd.
"He is a good keeper, he did well at this level last season and he knows a bit about League Two.
"He has come here to get games under his belt. We are in a fortunate position as we already have an experienced, quality goalkeeper on our books and he is well on the way to recovery after a nasty injury.
"In addition, in Dean Snedker we have a young goalkeeper of massive potential also on our books and that is fantastic for us. I am sure Lee will come in and do a good job for us."

Darksiders II follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in a weaving tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels Death through various light and dark realms as he tries to redeem his brother War, the horseman who was blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders.
Featuring a dramatically larger world, full weapon and armor upgrade systems as well as bigger and more challenging dungeons and vast array of new enemies and bosses, Darksiders II strives to improve on every aspect of the original hit.
It's time for Death to have his turn. After playing as War in the original Darksiders, THQ announced today that gamers will become another member of the four horsemen of the apocalypse when Darksiders II launches in 2012 -- Death himself. Read More »

Arpaio, the biggest un-indicted criminal in Arizona, is responsible for so much malfeasance, illegal activity and human misery, that his Teflon Don persona continues to amaze, even as the nearly 80 year-old autocrat is looking at running for re-election in 2012, yet again.
But there are signs that some of his shenanigans are finally being halted.
Such could be the case with the now four year-old civil rights lawsuit Melendres v. Arpaio, in which clients represented by the ACLU (the American Civil Liberties Union) and MALDEF (the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) have charged Arpaio, his underlings and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office with a pattern of racial profiling during its Hispanic-hunting sweeps of Latino neighborhoods.
Yesterday, federal Judge G. Murray Snow ordered a hearing with two hours of oral arguments for December 22 in a motion for summary judgment and other pending motions. You can read the order, here.
He's also asked for a supplemental briefing on various issues and pointed out things he wishes addressed in court.
Based on these, were I one of Arpaio's lawyers, I would not be looking forward to the hearing.
As you can see, many of Judge Snow's questions have to do with what inferences he should make regarding the MCSO's illegal destruction of thousands of documents requested by plaintiffs in the case.
Snow also instructs attorneys from both sides to address issues raised by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision earlier this year in United States vs. Arizona, where the appeals court upheld a lower court's enjoinment of Arizona's breathing-while-brown-statute Senate Bill 1070.
Snow offers the following inquiries to the parties in the case, which I think are worth reproducing at length:
In United States v. Arizona...there is no "federal criminal statute making unlawful presence in the United States, alone, a federal crime"...Such violations, as well as other immigration "status" offenses according to the case, constitute civil violations of federal immigration law.
The Arizona case also makes clear two additional points: (1) "states do not have the inherent authority to enforce the civil provisions of federal immigration law," and, (2) that "an alien's admission of illegal presence . . . does not, without more, provide probable cause of the criminal violation of illegal entry."
In light of these and the other holding of United States v. Arizona, and in light of the revocation of MCSO's 287(g) status for conducting field enforcement operations as of October 16, 2009:
1. What good faith legal basis is there, if any, for MCSO to assert that it has the authority going forward to enforce civil violations of the federal immigration law?
2. What good faith basis is there, if any, for MCSO to assert that it presently has the authority pursuant to any enforceable state or federal law to detain any person based upon a reasonable belief, without more, that the person is not legally present in the United States?
3. What good faith legal basis is there, if any, for the proposition that Whren v. U.S., 517 U.S. 806 (1996), justifies pretextual stops for the ancillary purpose of investigating civil immigration violations when the officer conducting the stop does not have the authority to enforce civil immigration violations?
4. What good faith legal basis is there, if any, for asserting that prior to the revocation of MCSO's field enforcement authority, an officer who was not 287(g) certified had authority to detain someone for any period on the reasonable belief that the person was not in compliance with the civil immigration laws of the United States?
5. On what basis, if any, did Officer DiPietro form a belief that Ortega-Melendrez was committing a criminal violation when he was sitting in the vehicle which Officer DiPietro stopped?
6. Does the MCSO continue to assert that it presently has the authority pursuant to any enforceable law to detain any person based upon a reasonable suspicion, without more, that the person is not legally present in the United States? Please identify the basis for that authority in light of United States v. Arizona.
7. What other good faith arguments are there that the Court either lacks the authority or otherwise should not enjoin the MCSO from seeking to enforce federal civil immigration law, or otherwise conduct stops of persons based only upon a reasonable suspicion, without more, that the person is not legally present within the United States?
Keep in mind that racial profiling is not just an objectionable practice, it is both unconstitutional and illegal.
Which is no doubt why MCSO flunkies destroyed docs that would serve as evidence of their culpability.
Joe's boys in beige have already been busted for racial profiling: Specifically, in the case of father and son Julian and Julio Mora --- a legal resident and U.S. citizen respectively -- during a 2009 MCSO immigration raid on the Phoenix firm Handyman Maintenance, Inc.
The Moras' illegal arrests, detention and humiliation at the hands of sheriff's deputies -- all because the Moras were brown and the elder Mora spoke Spanish and wore a Mexican-style cowboy hat -- ended up costing the county $200,000 in a settlement.
This, after the judge in the case ruled that the Moras' Fourth Amendment rights had been violated and the county was liable for damages.
Though such discrimination has been popular with some of Sand Land's redneck voters, it's becoming less so.

Bigotry will not score you a job in a down market, pay your mortgage, or buy your kids groceries or Christmas gifts, folks are learning the hard way.
Moreover, to pay for his racial-profiling sweeps and raids, Arpaio illegally swiped $100 million from protected county funds. Some of that also went to bankroll Arpaio's vendettas against county officials and judges.
Such corruption should be the focus of Arpaio's foes in the coming election, as should the ultimate cost in legal fees for defending Arpaio in Melendres. Particularly when he's forced to abide by the pending judgment of the court.
Which at this point, does not seem inclined to rule his way.

Oprah Winfrey's stepmother says Winfrey is booting her out of her house.
The good news is there may be a free car under the sofa.
Barbara Winfrey, 66, told Britain's Daily Mail her famous stepdaughter is kicking her out of the house she's shared for 14 years with Oprah's dad, Vernon Winfrey, in the wake of their divorce.
"I have lost everything," Barbara Winfrey said.
I'm telling you — look under the sofa.
"It's not just a house, this is my home. All my memories are here. I'm trying to keep it together, but there are some days I just don't understand how I could have made her so angry that she would kick me out on the street and think nothing about it. But that's Oprah — she's judge and jury."
Barbara Winfrey says 60-year-old Oprah is taking back the Nashville home she bought for her father and stepmom in 2000 just because she can.
"It was a new home so we got to choose every part of it," she recalled of the house, which was reportedly a wedding gift.
"We signed so many documents, became part of the Housing Association. I was thankful of course. I never knew it was Oprah's name on the deeds and that I was just on probation."
It's Oprah's world — we just live in it. Everybody knows that.
"My husband once told me that just because someone gives you something does not mean they love you. He was talking about Oprah."
I wish Oprah would show me how much she doesn't love me by buying me a house.
Barbara Winfrey says when her marriage fell apart, her ex-husband convinced Oprah to quietly get her "out of the picture" by taking back the house.
"I know people have read about this and thought, 'Who does (Barbara) think she is? Why should she get a million dollar home?'" she said.
Barbara Winfrey said Oprah never invited her over to Oprah's California home or attempted to get to know her despite being married to her father for 14 years.
"But can you see it's not about that? It's about everything that went before. Look at how she has treated me. I laid my head next to her father for 14 years and she never thought me worthy of talking to."

Cowboys file complaint against DL Ratliff, seek compensation
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Dallas Cowboys have filed a complaint against Jay Ratliff and are seeking compensation from the defensive lineman.
Ratliff was sidelined last season while recovering from a sports hernia that required surgery. He was placed on the physically unable to perform list, but when he told the Cowboys he was not physically able to play, they released him in October.
A week later, Ratliff's surgeon medically cleared him to play and he signed with the Bears, playing five games for them.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones calls it "undermining" when a player "can say he is hurt one day and signs to play with a team another."
The collective bargaining agreement does not cover such disputes. The Cowboys have brought their complaint to the NFL's management council and the players' union.

a small parasitic catfish native to the amazon, that typically feeds off the blood of other fish. However is attracted to urine and has been known to swim up the vagina/penis/anus of nude bathers in the amazon river. Once inside a human host it extends spines on its back lodging it firmly in place where removal is possible through extremly painful surgery, amputation of the organ or the use of herbal medicines that can dissolve the parasite.
I'm never pissing in the Amazon cuz I don't want a candiru to swim up my urethra.

I'm squeezing one more race into the year: Christmas at the End of the Road 5k and 1k. This first annual race is part of the weekend long Christmas at the End of the Road celebration in which the town turns on the christmas lights for the first time of the year and includes the very popular fireworks, holiday shopping, food, music, santa, wagon rides, caroling, and much more! The first 30 runners to sign up will get a free race t-shirt(since this is a first year race if you're not one of the first 30 to sign up you might not get a shirt). All runners will have a chance to win randomly drawn prizes donated by Winthrop Mountain Sports
Date: Saturday November 27 2010
Location: Downtown Winthrop, WA (one block northwest of the 4 way stop sign--in front of Carlos 1800 Mexican Grill and Cantina)
Cost: Free for runners 18 or younger or $20 or $10 with donation of canned or other non-perishable foods for The Cove Food Bank.
Course: The entire course is within town limits running almost entirely on residential streets with very little vehicle traffic. The course will have lots of turns and a couple short hills and will not be USATF certified(maybe next year). The course may (but hopefully not) have snow or ice on it and runners should be prepared for any weather conditions.

I note that nobody answered Louis' question about a one volume Greek OT and NT. I don't think such an edition exists. There are Modern Greek versions that combine the OT and NT. One would think that in Greece at some point someone would have produced a combined Koine edition, but maybe the ecclesiastical tradition there is to have two books. Zondervan produced a combined Hebrew OT and Greek NT in response to consumer interest, and I know that there is a demand for a Reader's LXX, so I would not be surprised if in the near future Zondervan produced a one volume Greek OT and NT.This post is intended to be a thread on the various print editions of the Greek NT and OT, and combined volumes.
There has just been published a new deluxe leather edition of the UBS Reader's Greek NT. It is αξιολογος for its price ($107) and the high quality of its cover and binding.
http://www.amazon.com/UBS-Greek-New-Tes ... 450&sr=1-3
This would appear to be the most fancy print edition of the Greek NT currently available, but the Amazon reviews suggest that there is a problem with the paper used.

I have so many things that I want to write about on HoseMaster of Wine. I was even thinking about writing about wine, but who gives a crap what a wine blogger thinks about wine? No one reads wine blogs to find wines to buy. Hell, no. We read wine blogs to find out what sucks about wines--corkiness, light-spoiled, heat ruined, overpriced, understuffed--and what sucks about the wine business--interstate shipping laws, 1oo point scales, Marvin Shanken. Wine blogs aren't about the love of wine, they're about the love of self. And it takes a lot of wine for that to happen.
I have lists and lists of subjects for HoseMaster of Wine. But here are a few of the ideas that I've rejected. Feel free to steal them, Blogger Nation.
The Lost Nude Photos of Michael Broadbent
Turns out they weren't lost, just mistaken for a Yeti.
Mr Broadbent on the set of his secret porn film, "Melt my Dipstick."
Music Damaged Wine
A scathing article from Dan Berger about the dirty secret that winemakers and wine shops are keeping from you--loud Mexican music can damage your expensive bottle of wine!! Oh sure, it takes an extremely talented and near-perfect palate to tell, but Los Tigres del Norte completely destroyed the 2006 vintage of Opus One.
The Truth About Shipping Laws
It ain't the laws. California wineries don't want to ship to fucking Kentucky. Unless it's Jess shipping a broken-down thoroughbred there. The Family Wineries of California donate thousands of dollars to keep their wine out of the hands of hillbillies.
The Secret Paris Tasting of 1978
France vs. Italy. Neither country was able to conclusively win. True to form, they both surrendered.
Jancis Robinson is a Man!
OK, not exactly a surprise.
Steve Heimoff is a Man!
Now we're talkin...
George Riedel Arrested in Huge Ponzi Scheme
Bernie Madoff says, "I never screwed people out of that much money compared to George! I tip my prison cap to him."
Alsace Wines All Produced In Mendocino
Wineries in Alsace are just fronts for laundering schnitzel. Navarro secretly produces 40% of the Alsace wines on the market and dumbs them down for wine critics to understand them.
Wine Bloggers Conference Actually Satan Worship
Wine Blogger Awards followed by human sacrifice and impregnating Alice Feiring with the spawn of Robert Parker, the bloggers' incarnation of Beelzebub.
X-Rays Reveal Laube's Taste Buds in His Colon
Left behind by a gerbil, California winemakers vow to massage them anyway, as usual.
M.S. Awarded to Mannequin
Shocking, but not the first dummy to win coveted title.
List of Rejected Ideas for Posts
Only a moron would think that was a funny premise.

I think my father will get a big hoot out of your article...what scared me in opening was that you might really have had nude pictures of him... after all, he once famously wrote in Decanter about his ambition to make love in every great vineyard in the world. He described one such vineyards in the South of France as being a horrible experience because it was too rocky and wet from the rain. There was a happy ending to the story when the PR woman from that winery heard of his discomfort, so she sent him an umbrella, a cushion and some olive oil! True story by the way.

Hi Bartholomew,
Great story! Just wondering if the olive oil was Extra Virgin. Probably not necessary. And I guess if you're going to use the umbrella you REALLY need the olive oil.
Thanks for visiting my humble blog, Bartholomew. Let me know if your father sees it. He is certainly one of my rare wine writing heroes.

Your comments made me think of my very own blog and a comment that was made in response to my Gamay post. Really interesting guy, regular poster, he said the most amazing thing to me this afternoon...what was it now? Let me think, it was so thoughtful and sensitive...oh, that's right...he said, "Get In Line"...funny fits here too.

The origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled scientists ever since the illness came to light in the early 1980s. Following the discovery of the epidemic, activists hit the ground running, educating the world about preventing the spread of the disease and pursuing more effective treatments. In the decades since, they have also worked to dispel the myths associated with the AIDS epidemic.
The documentary United in Anger: A History of ACT UP combines archival footage that puts the audience on the ground alongside activists as they plan and execute actions including Seize Control of the FDA, Stop the Church and Day of Desperation, and other activities that have brought worldwide attention to the AIDS crisis. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 25, in Rochester Institute of Technology's Liberal Arts Hall, room A205. A discussion with the film's director, Jim Hubbard, immediately follows. The screening—free and open to the RIT and Rochester communities—will be captioned. Sign-language interpreters will be provided.
Tamar Carroll, assistant professor of history in RIT's College of Liberal Arts, is an expert in the history of social movements and helped coordinate the event.
"United in Anger embodies the spirit of ACT UP meetings, with many voices contributing to the strength of the whole," Carroll says. "The film excels in its depiction of ACT UP's diverse membership and the ways in which women and people of color in particular brought a broader lens to understandings of the social and political contexts of the epidemic. This film promises to generate thought-provoking discussions on recent U.S. history, the history of sexuality, queer studies, the history of medicine, social movements and documentary filmmaking."
For more information, contact Carroll at firstname.lastname@example.com or go to www.unitedinanger.com.

Programmers Off to North American Finals to Prep for Russia
By Dennis Walikainen | Published
They earned an invitation to Russia for the International Collegiate Programming Contest in June, and they get an important practice step between now and then.
The Michigan Technological University team of just-graduated math major Ryan McNamara and computer science majors Eric Rinkus and Thomas Holmes will take their programming skills first to Chicago on March 26, as one of only two Michigan teams qualifying. The other is from the University of Michigan.
The North American Invitational Programming Contest, hosted by the University of Chicago, is flying the team down, putting them up in a hotel and offering some nice prizes, all to prep the teams for the international competition in Russia.
"It will be fun, a good practice, and if they are lucky, they'll win a few bucks, too," says Dave Poplawski, computer science professor and former longtime programming coach.
First prize is $4,500 and, although the competition is stiff--MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Virginia Tech--don't count out the Huskies.
The team will practice by solving typical contest problems. "Old, archived problems from previous regional and world final competitions are easy to find online," explains Jason Hiebel, a PhD student in computer science and the team's coach. "As with any skill, practice makes perfect. The more problems they can solve in practice, the better prepared they will be for Chicago and Russia."
Efficiency is just as important as correctness, he adds. The competitors must make efficient use of their tools, data structures and algorithms to solve each problem. Their code is given a time limit to produce the correct answer, and slow code is just as wrong as code that produces a wrong answer. This usually means starting over.
Eight to ten problems can run from 20 to 200 or more lines of code, "so they must work quickly and communicate effectively to make the best use of the single computer they have to share," Hiebel points out. Total time for the contest is five hours.
Even the judges' responses to their solutions are stress-laden. If incorrect, they are not told why; the response is simply "wrong answer," or if it takes too long, "time limit exceeded."
"Every incorrect solution is penalized as well, which can cause you to quickly drop in the standings," Hiebel says. "You can try as many times as you want, but it will cost you."
Several teams will answer most, if not all, of the problems correctly, Poplawski adds. It's a matter of turning them in the fastest with the fewest penalties for wrong attempts. Teams have 20 minutes added to their total time for each wrong attempt. "At the end, teams are just firing them in with a hope and a prayer, because you score better if you get a problem solved, even with the penalty minutes," he says.
This year Hiebel will be accompanying the team.
"Jason competed in this contest several times in previous years and narrowly missed making the finals a couple of times," Poplawski says. "He also co-taught a competitive programming class with me, assisted me with much of the administrative work of programming contests and has done most of the work with this year's team, so he should get to go to Chicago and Russia. He's earned it."

The Task Force appointed by Mayor Don Wesely to examine the need for an additional indoor ice skating facility in Lincoln has recommended a public-private initiative to build a new $4 million facility. The Task Force recommended Seacrest Park at 70th and "A" streets as the leading location at which to build the facility.
"Without a second facility, Lincoln area skaters will have to continue to practice at odd hours or travel to Omaha," Mayor Wesely said. "A new facility would lead to better quality skating programs and give families the opportunity to participate in this fun recreational activity. I want to commend the Task Force for bringing together all interested parties and working to incorporate the needs of recreational skaters, figure skaters and hockey players."
The only indoor ice rink in Lincoln is the Ice Box at State Fair Park. It is home to the Lincoln Stars hockey team and only available six months of the year. Omaha currently operates six indoor ice sheets. The Task Force recommended that the new facility include one ice arena now, but that it be built in such a way that a second sheet of ice could be added easily and economically.
The Task Force was chaired by Al Hamersky, Chair of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He said the group met nine times and reached consensus on all the major issues including location, design, programming and operational plans, financing and the point at which a second ice sheet would be added.
In addition to Seacrest Park, six other sites were evaluated. The other sites considered were Star City Shores, Jensen Park, Eighth and Hill streets, the Abbott Sports Complex, the Lancaster County Events Center and State Fair Park. City Recreation Manager Sandy Myers said Seacrest Park rated highest because it is already owned by the city, it has existing infrastructure and parking and it is located along a major traffic corridor. The Task Force indicated all the sites were acceptable.
The Task Force recommended that the facility be owned by the city and operated by a non-profit board. The Task Force also concluded that an ice skating facility could break even on its operational costs, estimated at $400,000 annually, but that it would not be able to cover the cost of construction debt. The group recommended that the facility be built with a combination of public funds and private donations. The Task Force will now form a steering committee to continue work on the feasibility of the project and the public and private funding options.
Members of the Task Force are Mike Ayars, Joe Ballard, Connie Bundy, Charlie Claus, Judy Cobb, Karen Hand, Linda Handke, Arnold Henkel, John Hibberd, John W. Hyland II, Jeff Jenkins, Jolanda Junge, Glen A. Newell, James F. Nissen, Mike Rezak, Jerry Shoecraft, Loy Todd and Kim Wilnes.

While it may be tempting to reach for beer or tea when you're cooking up some Thai treats, resist the urge: wine can actually be a great pairing partner for many Thai dishes. With its signature balance of spicy/salty/sour/sweet, Thai food is best when paired with wines that have similar equilibrium. Avoid any wines that are too alcoholic or too tannic, as they don't play well with spicy flavors. Bubbles, aromatic whites, a touch of sweetness, and robust roses are all your friends when it comes to Thai food. Below are some favorite bottles and suggested pairings from our expert wine blogger at SpinTheBottleNY. Enjoy.
Gruet Non Vintage, New Mexico ($15) Sparkling wine is great with anything fatty, spicy, salty or fishy—the acidity and bubbles really cut through the richness—so pair it fish cakes, curry puffs or anything fried, like Thai Gold bags. The gentle price is proof that sparkling wine doesn't have to be pricey.
Dr. Loosen Urzinger Wurzgarten Riesling Spätlese 2006, Mosel, Germany ($20) German Rieslings like this one achieve a magical balance between sweet and sour that's as refreshing as lemonade. Very, very good lemonade. It works particularly well with very spicy foods, like green curry with chicken, as the sweetness nicely tempers the heat.
Château Pradeaux Rosé 2009 Bandol, France ($29.99) Matching Thai meat dishes can be tricky. Whites are too light, while reds can be problematic: the tannin in red wines are often incompatible with very spicy or aromatic food. Split the difference with a hearty rosé like this one from Provence. Made from Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvèdre, it has a enough backbone to stand up to BBQ ribs or Thai grilled beef, but still provides plenty of refreshment.

Akron, Akron, Akron...
I'm in Akron today. I'll be here for about ten days. Ten days in Akron! Bliss, I tell ya!
It's weird how I was so eager to get out of this place 15 years ago that I packed up my entire life and flew halfway around the world. Now when I get back here I'm practically kissing the soil. I had no idea how bee-you-tee-ful Akron, Ohio really was. I dreamed of Tokyo and of California instead. Hilarious.
Yet I don't regret at all what I did and where I went. It's just funny, that's all.
I've spent the morning re-learning the Zero Defex set and cursing my 18 year old self for coming up with bass lines my 44 year old self has trouble playing. I think I got 'em all now.
The new Zero Defex CD is on sale now. Only I haven't figured out how you can order it on-line yet. Supposedly CD Baby has it, but I'll be dog-goned if I can locate it there.You can get the download version of it here though. And you can hear samples of it on our MySpace page. The actual CD has very cool artwork and packaging by Vince Rancid, so I'd recommend that over the download. I'll post the ordering info as soon as I get it.
I read a few of the replies to the previous post. I really feel bad about describing Patricia as a transvestite rather than a trans-sexual. These distinctions come hard (heh-heh, I said come hard) for a guy raised in rural Ohio in the Seventies. Plus I know it hurts to be mis-identified genderwise. Shit even yesterday at the airport in Knoxville I was referred to as "ma'am" by the TSA guy. This happens all the time. Is the face stubble not enough of a give-away? I'm sad Patricia left. She seemed nice and I wanted to see if I could help her with the hard time she was so obviously having.
But I say (and not just to her, by the way), "Know Before You Go." I must accept most of the blame here because I didn't post the schedule. I didn't even make the schedule until a couple hours before the thing started. Still, I tend to assume that folks who sign up for a Zen retreat have some idea what's involved. The ones I run are pretty standard, and, in fact, tend to skew towards the "easy-peasy" end of the spectrum. There must be a zillion places on-line that post their schedules. Patricia's case is certainly not at all unique. I would not be writing this in a public forum if it were. Lots of folks show up to these things with no idea what to expect and I'm sorry but I just can't understand why that happens anymore.
Please. Before you attend a Zen retreat, read up about them. OK? Thanks.
And what's up with all the trolls posting "Brad thinks World War II never happened" bullshit? Hey -- Japan did really, really bad stuff in World War II. I know that. Everybody knows that. We nice White guys with nothing to atone for also dropped some big ol' bombs on them, too. Some Japanese guys in Buddhist robes went "yay" for the Emperor. I just don't see any compelling evidence that Kodo Sawaki fanned the flames. Here's a quote I recently discovered by Mr. Sawaki at the Tassajara library, "During the war in China I kept my hands in gassho (folded) wherever I went. When you do gassho whoever you meet does gassho to automatically. If I had raised my fist or brandished a revolver it wouldn't have happened the same way. Walking in gassho means not shooting anyone anymore." Brian Victoria's Sawaki quotes are so incredibly at odds with so many other quotes and personal memories of those who knew the man I just cannot accept them as accurate. Funnily enough Sawaki doesn't even get mentioned in Victoria's second book about Zen war mongers. You'd think he would since he's presented in the first one as such a champion of the cause. Victoria's book was important in going a long way towards humanizing Zen teachers for Westerners who saw them as Gods or mystical beings. Kudos to him for that. But when it comes to Sawaki, I'm afraid I still have to maintain my doubts about his assessment of his war-mongering-ness.
Gotta go.

Unable to take the field in 2010, Taylor Twellman shifted his attention to working with Children's Hospital Boston and other charitable efforts
The following story was published in the Revolution's "Match Day" program for the Oct. 16 home finale against the Kansas City Wizards
Taylor Twellman hasn't been able to join his teammates on the field in almost two years—he was sidelined after suffering a concussion and post-concussion syndrome. But while he can't do much for his team during matches, he more than makes up for it off the pitch.
Because of all the time he spends with Children's Hospital Boston, Twellman is the Revolution's 2010 MLS W.O.R.K.S. Humanitarian of the Year.
Shortly after Twellman's 2008 season-ending head and neck injury, Children's Hospital Boston asked if he was available to visit with the kids. Countless unpublicized visits later, most without the Revolution's involvement, and Twellman is one of the hospital's ambassadors and recently signed on to become a founding member of the hospital's Sports and Entertainment Council, which is a group of Boston-based and national celebrities that aims to bring further care to pediatric patients.
His own medical ordeals have opened his eyes to what some of these children have to go through, and he can relate them and their daily hospital routines, also having undergone extensive testing and treatments, as well as numerous doctor's appointments.
In addition to the many hospital visits, Twellman also organized Taylor's Team, which is a field trip of sorts for Children's Hospital patients. The kids and their parents get to go to Gillette Stadium on a game day, where they receive VIP treatment. Twellman has treated more than 60 families to tickets to the game in a luxury suite, sideline passes to watch warm-ups, a "ballpark food" dinner and goodie bags filled with Twellman and Revolution swag, in addition to a personal meet and greet with each game's "team." He started the program as a way to get kids out of the hospital so they could take their minds off of their day-to-day issues and enjoy a soccer game with their families.
As one of Children's Hospital's most active ambassadors, Twellman also starred in a text- and email-based fundraising campaign for the hospital. He spent seven hours at Gillette with a 10-year-old cancer patient to film the commercial and public service announcement for Generation Cures.
With all the time Twellman spends helping others, it's hard to forget what motivates him: the need to bring awareness to the dangers associated with concussions and post-concussion syndrome. This May, he was the keynote speaker at Children's Hospital at Harvard University's Seventh Annual Sports Related Conference on Concussion and Spine Injury.
Though dealing with the symptoms of a concussion is a struggle, it has given Twellman the opportunity to do so much for Children's Hospital Boston—much more than if he were on the field. After a charity even last month with the hospital, he said, "Love those smiles I see. It has gotten me through the last three years more than you know." It sounds like the children help Twellman as much, if not more, than he helps them.

In addition to host Michigan, the other teams traveling to Ann Arbor for the tournament are Michigan State and Wright State. The Bisons, 2-0-1, will play No. 20-ranked Michigan State, 1-0-1, at 4 p.m. Friday to open the tournament. They will face host Michigan (2-1-0) Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
"This weekend will be a great barometer for us as to where we are," said Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow. "Both of their teams have been in the NCAA Tournament the past two years. Both started out the season in the top 25 in the country.
"It is a great opportunity for our players to not only showcase their abilities and see what they can do against teams with this kind of recognition, but it is also a chance for us to get better. Anytime you can play teams that have had the success these two programs have had you are going to get better."
Morrow pointed out that the main concern is whether or not the Bisons can raise their level of play.
"The question is can we play with them and possibly get a good result this weekend," said Morrow. "I know the guys are excited. I know we are excited as coaches."
Morrow was still working on the scouting reports on both teams Wednesday afternoon and Thursday.
"Michigan is a team that is very talented individually," said Morrow. "We have a very healthy respect for them. At the beginning of the season if you talked to coaches around the country before the season started they would tell you to watch out for Michigan because they are going to be good.
"Michigan State has not played as many games as Michigan. I know that both teams are going to very athletic and physical."
Michigan State, coming off a 0-0 tie with No. 10-ranked Illinois-Chicago, is led by goalkeeper Avery Steinlage. He set the NCAA record for consecutive shutout minutes in the Illinois-Chicago game. He has not allowed a goal in 998:43 minutes.
The two northern teams will offer a different style of play for the Bisons.
"Their style is generally more direct," said Morrow. "They will both be more physical battles than we normally see. We saw it when we played Maryland-Baltimore County last year.
"We have players who have played teams all across the country growing up. I feel like we will be able to adapt. Hopefully, we will be able to impose our style on them and get a good result."
The Bisons opened the season with a 1-1 tie against Berry College. They beat Oral Roberts 1-0 and Marshall 1-0 with goalkeepers Brent McGee and Patrick Walsh each recording a shutout.
This will be the first time the Bisons have faced either Michigan State or Michigan.

Seven American Presidents Nobody Remembers?
Warren Harding - Connolly wrote, "Warren G. Harding is generally regarded as the worst president ever. He was disappointing from the get-go, as the very basis of his campaign was boring. Harding ran on the promise of a 'return to normalcy,' which he (somehow) felt people craved following Woodrow Wilson's bold and visionary term."
The fact that just about everyone except political detractors of the current President Bush consider Harding the worst president ever keeps him off the forgotten list. The worst will always be remembered. (Although James Buchanan is often ranked as worse than Harding should not be forgotten either.)
Chester Arthur - Connolly wrote, "Most people don't know ol' Chesty for anything other than his mammoth moustache. But he should be remembered as a guy who rose to the occasion."
And the occasion he arose to was a massive reform of the civil service system which greatly helped some of the presidents who followed Arthur in office. Presidential historians often reference him and he is actually ranked higher on the list of presidents by historians than the "forgotten" tag would indicate.
John Tyler - Connolly wrote, "John Tyler was up against it from the start. For one thing, he only got to be president because he was the VP under William Henry Harrison, who died of pneumonia following his inauguration speech. Let's put it this way: When your nicknames include 'His Accidency,' you're not destined to make a splash."
As Tyler clearly established that a vice-president assuming a vacant presidential post was actually the president, his actions were huge. The "his accidency" reference comes from those who believed that a vice-president in this situation was actually an "acting" president. Presidents such as Truman and Ford have much to thank Tyler for. Further, Tyler is the only American President to have actually openly committed an act of treason against the USA when he served in the Confederate rebel government. Forgotten? Hardly.
I can not disagree with Connoly putting Fillmore, Hayes, or Van Buren on the list. Hoover is debatable. Why did he not include Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison, or James Garfield on the list though? These men are much more forgotten by historians as presidents.

CNN actually got this article from the magazine Mental Floss which was where I originally read it. I have to agree with you on most of your points, especially regarding Warren G. Harding and Chester Arthur making the list and the exclusion of both Franklin Pierce and William Henry Harrison from the list. One of the ones I always have trouble remembering is Rutherford B. Hayes which is odd considering that Mental Floss devoted a page to him.

Warren G. Harding may have been useless, but did he do any great damage? I could name several Presidents who have done far more damage than he did. Jimmy Carter, for instance.

The University of Houston College of Education in conjunction with HoustonPBS just launched this site as a way for those who fought in, or lived through World War II to share their stories. It is also envisioned as a powerful tool for teachers providing them with multimedia clips and interviews as well as personal stories and lesson plans relating to the war.

In the demonstration, an empty aluminum can... (View More) floats on water in a tray, such as a Petri dish. Students spin a magnet just inside the can without touching the can. The can begins to spin. Understanding what happens can be explained in steps: first, the twirling magnet creates an alternating magnetic field. Students can use a nearby compass to observe that the magnetic field is really changing. Second, the changing magnetic field permeates most things around it, including the aluminum can itself. A changing magnetic field will cause an electric current to flow when there is a closed loop of an electrically conducting material. Even though the aluminum can is not magnetic, it is metal and will conduct electricity. So the twirling magnet causes an electrical current to flow in the aluminum can. This is called an "induced current." Third, all electric currents create magnetic fields. So, in essence, the induced electrical current running through the can creates its very own magnetic field, making the aluminum can magnetic. This is activity four of "Exploring Magnetism."
