Today's Front Pages Analysis
Palin fires back after questions about her qualifications
VP nominee Sarah Palin came out swinging — against her critics, her political rivals and the media — Wednesday night in a prime-time speech to the Republican convention.
Headline writers used varying verbs to describe her actions:
- • "Palin pulls no punches" — the Billings (Mont.) Gazette
- • "Palin dissects opponents" — Las Vegas (Nev.) Review-Journal
- • "Rallies delegates by skewering media, Washington establishment" — Houston Chronicle
The Anchorage Daily in Palin's home state of Alaska devoted the entire front page to convention events and said, "Governor goes on the offensive while introducing herself to nation." The New York Times said Palin's speech "Electrifies Convention." Said The Sun of Baltimore, "Republican VP choice is roundly cheered as she defends her executive experience, mocks Obama."
Other headlines also used the word "mocks" to describe her comments about Democrat Barack Obama. "GOP running mate mocks Obama as out-of-touch elitist who would 'forfeit' on Iraq," The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tenn., said.
Fresh off covering the Democratic convention, the Denver newspapers showed they still had spirit. The Rocky Mountain News called the speech "A fine how do you do," and the Post borrowed from Palin's remarks for its headline: "'Pit bull' Palin." The Daily News in New York went even further with Palin's remarks — "Pit Bull in Lipstick."
Palin calls herself a hockey mom, and that label gave headline writers inspiration. "'Hockey mom' Palin uncorks bruising shots," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution declared. From Canada, where hockey is king, the Toronto Star said, "Palin aims, fires."
From the convention city of St. Paul, the Pioneer Press looked at why Palin — and not Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty — was John McCain's choice: "She has a greater reputation for reform and conservatism — and plenty of human interest."
Looking ahead to McCain's acceptance speech tonight, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis pictured the senator and said, "Today, it's his town and his party." But in an analysis of Palin's speech, the San Francisco Chronicle said, "Running mate's sudden celebrity threatens to eclipse star of the show."

An Open Letter to the Woman Who Cut Me Off in the Carpool Lane
Dear Lady Who Cut Me Off in the Carpool Lane,
Seriously? What is the matter with you? I was waiting in that line for nearly half an hour and you thought you would just sidle your way in? There's this unwritten rule about lines that says: Wait at the end when you arrive. Also, there's a rule about cutting people off that says: Don't cut off people you will see at tomorrow's PTA meeting.
Did it not dawn on you how easily I could find out who you are? It's not like you did this on the highway ... we were going to the same place. I saw your kids get into your minivan, as you were a mere five feet in front of me!
Also, you have stickers of your entire family on your back windshield (which already makes me dislike you), so it wasn't like I needed to be David Caruso to put the pieces together.
While we're on the subject, what possessed you to put such stickers on your back windshield in the first place? And why do all minivans seem to have them? Do they come with the car? Does the salesman ask you to say an oath that you will uphold the laws of minivan ownership:
"I solemnly swear to become my child's team mom, to tell everyone the benefits of owning a minivan so they join our cult, to pull my pants up at least one inch higher than is the norm, and to put stickers on my back windshield."
If I want to know what sports or hobbies your children enjoy -- or how many pets you have (including fish), I will simply ask.
Plus, I hate to tell you this, but your husband looks a bit light in the loafers. I'm not saying your marriage is a sham and you don't know it, but if that sticker is any indicator, well. I also noticed that you went to the trouble of having these stickers customized online, so that there's a name under each. That was smart, if you were looking to have one of your children kidnapped.
How about you put your Social Security number across the back and we call it a day?
Also, I'm pretty sure there's a rule that if you have antlers and a nose on your minivan, you're not allowed to drive poorly, as you have a fairly easy car to spot. The same way I imagine the people who play characters at Disney World don't hold up convenience stores in costume. "Yes officer, I'm sure the robber was #4 in the lineup, Donald Duck."
Frankly, I'm not sure why anyone would dress up a piece of machinery for a holiday in the first place. You know what my car dresses as for Halloween? Nothing. It's a freakin' car.
Well, I've said my piece. I hope I wasn't too harsh. Hey, I know! Maybe tomorrow you could cut someone else off! There's a guy in a truck who has a whole arsenal of miniature guns hanging from his rearview mirror. Maybe you could cut him off and see how it goes?
What's been your biggest frustration while you were driving your kids around in the last week?

rhps2000December 13, 2012 at 7:25 PMMy complaint is with the folks waiting to pick up their kids at our small school where we line up our cars in tandem til the bell rings. But whenever a parking spot opens up, they just sit there, parked with lots of space in front or behind them but not enough for anyone to park unless they move up. But instead, they choose to sit there while you have to circle around aimlessly. :S

rhps2000December 13, 2012 at 7:27 PMOh, and I think it's irreponsible to put your kid's names on the car too. And the family stickers are lame. I did see one that was a zombie family, though! :)

RhondaVeggieDecember 13, 2012 at 7:41 PMLately it's been people leaving their cars running. It's illegal to idle in a school zone but they leave their cars running while they walk their kids over to the door then stand there chatting for ten minutes. The people in the drop off lane do it too. Some of them get there 15 minutes before drop off and just sit there with their engines going. Either get there on time or sit there with your engine off like the civilized people do.

This video is me singing to Alex in the couple days before he died.
This is the Alex from Walk Like Thunder.
Last night I made another new friend who is not held within the confines of gender, and who also has chosen the name Alex, and who is dying.
So I woke up thinking about the big loud public struggles and the big quiet private struggles.
Thinking about terminal illness and a failing healthcare system and a failing political system. But also thinking about friends and togetherness and friendship and love and change.
We are all dying. Some people are dying faster than others.
When you love someone or befriend someone who has very little time left it forces you to re-evaluate how YOU are living.
It is crucial that we create a way that works for the people and that we learn to be a peaceful society that takes care of it's own.
These are exciting times. And these are scary intense times. Whether you raise your sign and raise your voice or you sing softly into someone's ear you are a part of this revolution. Be love. Be change.
Don't just float along.
Occupy your life.

What are the underlying, universal fears present in humanity?
I believe that a lot or arguably all of our actions are dictated by fear in one sense or another. I want to better understand this and find a way to address and minimize those fears instilled in people. What do you think the underlying fears across all demographics and cultures are? For example, fear, loss, death, pain, the unknown?

Feb 26 2012: Hello Jordan! What a GREAT question! You know, every now & then (and sometimes even rarer than that) you run into a person that seems to give you the answer to questions no one else could. Well I ran into this person for a short time and he gave me an answer to your question that I will never forget. I fought the answer in my mind, but I lost. He said to me (and a bunch of other students) at the root of all fear for mankind is the reality of our unknown death (when/where/how/why). In addition to that, I also believe our fears come from the reality of knowing we are NOT in control of the "bigger picture" which includes death, but also the external occurrences (other people's issues, attitudes, responses that cause wars, deaths, job losses, hate and the likes) and internal occurrences (physical & mental ailments beyond our control) that render us helpless in our own lives as well as in the lives of those we love and care for.
On a cultural level, I did a lot of studying of other civilizations during my undergraduate degree and found the anxieties about death and the reality of how in control we "really" are to be the same but expressed quite differently. I found religion (or a belief system) to be the most effective way, throughout all these civilizations and societies, to buffer these anxieties and fears in a way that helped people cope and continue.
Sometimes I wonder how long humanity would have been here if we did not have the cognitive abilities to allow for belief systems?
Feb 26 2012: Hello Maranda! What a GREAT answer! That really ties together what I've been trying to get my head around. The idea of our unknown death has an integral role in developing all fears. All fearful actions and response are moving towards self preservation, which is something that would be innate.
It could be argued that a huge pull for religion is its ability to help people deal with this fear. Seeing as there are so many people all looking for relief from these fears and belief systems have a way of relieving that fear. You're right as well, without the cognitive ability that allows to belief systems I don't think the humans would have been a very memorable species.
Feb 26 2012: Hi Maranda.
I think you nailed it. The cure ?
John 3:16-17 (NIV)
[16] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him
Simple really
Feb 26 2012: Good afternoon Peter! During my focused study on the many wonderful civilizations and societies that have walked this beautiful Earth throughout time, I learned a lot about what was at the root of the whole of mankind in relation to fears, anxieties, desires, and needs. The motivations that kept that "root" alive were intricately constructed belief systems that were created in a way that "fit" each civilization and society. It is really amazing and wonderful to see how creative mankind is in his ability to "survive" something he knows so little about and has very little control of.
Our belief systems give us a sense of control over the unknown (not necessarily our own control of a situation, but a sense that something is in control), whether it is science or religion, they both assist man overcome anxieties and fears and they are both needed for such.
The measure of what we don't know, will ALWAYS outweigh the measure of what we think we know. If that doesn't humble us, what will?

More than 30 years ago, Mitchell Energy (now part of Devon Energy Corp.) brought the C.W. Slay No. 1 well into production in Wise County, Texas, just north of Fort Worth. The well, considered the first production in the Barnett shale, marked the dawn of an unconventional era. The shale boom that the well heralded was made possible by technology in the form of three-dimensional seismic surveys, directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing--all of which, in turn, depended on high-performance steel.
The steelmaking industry is now reaping the benefits of what it helped sow in the hard, dry soil of north Texas. The shale boom has made natural gas--the cleanest-burning fossil fuel--significantly less expensive, and orders of magnitude more plentiful than at any time since the hydrocarbon era began. With expectations that natural gas will be readily available and at a less-volatile price than in the past, steelmakers are planning new facilities to use natural gas directly at the burner tips, to fire electric power generation, and even as a source of carbon in melt.

The cabin was larger than expected and contained everything we needed, free water and fruit, plenty of wardrobe space, bathroom with large shower, plenty of space under the kingsize bed for suitcases. Lots of nooks and crannies and nice dressing table area with adjacent british socket for hairdryer. Bathrobes (but no slippers) and TV with integral DVD player. No tea and coffee facilities in room but this was not a problem as there was free room service. Good Sound insulation.
Food was very good, excellent choice at breakfast. Look out for barbeque on Verandah if weather is good, as sometimes it is not advertised. The Grill is good for specialty breakfasts and light lunches, salads etc. East to West Restaurant is excellent (I am surprised they did not charge a supplement), this needs to be booked early on in the cruise as there are limited places. Times to book are advertised in the 'Today' newsletter.
Excursions expensive but you are really looked after, with a driver, saga rep and also local guide. There are several grades of excursions from easy to strenuous and we heard of some people doing 6 mile hikes! Shows were excellent and the staff are fantastic, very friendly and cannot do enough for you. We met lots of friendly people and as it is a small ship you bump into the same people quite often and we struck up several friendships. Pick up chauffeur service was also excellent, we never touched the suitcases from leaving the house until they appeared outside our cabin. The driver was very courteous and friendly.
Norwegian fjords are beautiful, we saw so many waterfalls. Be aware though that Norway is expensive and weather is not great.

The Queen of England may not have the power that she once had, but she certainly remains a powerful figure in the hearts of all British folks. On June 2, 2012 the Queen celebrated her 60th year on the throne, which brought about a celebration dubbed the Diamond Jubilee – "Diamond" indicates 60 years, for those wondering.
In the festivities, the Queen was spotted riding around in a rather luxurious automobile that one of our readers keenly pointed out is either a Rolls-Royce or Bentley , and he turned to us for help identifying the car and telling him a little about it. Figuring he is not the only person interested in the topic, we felt that a full-on review was in order.
As it turns out, after a good amount of research, we have found out that the queen traveled around in the Jubilee in a 2002 Bentley State Limousine. This is no typical Bentley limo either, as it is fit for a… Well, Queen, of course!

I have to give you praise for the codecs package. However, I do miss one feature that you had in the other previous versions that is not in 463 final. I have a 32-bit system with Windows Home Basic. I also had to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 for Windows Vista.
I rip or burn a lot of chapters from DVDs into MPEG format using Roxio Easy DVD & CD burning. I like the feature you included in previous versions in the 32 bit tools for MPEG, which was "set MPEG2 to use ffdshow (.ts)"
That feature is no longer available, and I could no longer use Windows Movie Maker to convert the mpg files to WMV. It would only import the audio and not the video portion.
For that reason, I uninstalled the 463 package, and reinstalled an earlier version I had saved to a CD (456 final). Now, I can convert the mpg files to WMV again.
I've had no other problems, and can still watch all my AVI, divX, WMV and mpegs with 456 final. My DVDs also play well on my VLC player and in WMP.
Thanks for making such a great codecs package. I hope that you might consider re-adding the "MPEG2 to use ffdshow" in the 32-bit tools again. :)

Do you mean "does it work for XP"? No, it doesn't. If you want something for XP, go back to the other page and scroll down to the bottom. You'll find a download for an "XP codec pack" there.
Thanks for the latest version. It's totally improved the quality of my avi and flv files. I'll be giving a donation later this week.

|We've stayed several times with you but decided against breakfast, despite the discount voucher offered, as the room is so large that it becomes more canteen like than relaxing. As we weren't on business we decided to go elsewhere.

|Was very impressed with the hotel's contempory lobby and how helpfull staff where, however the room allocated was clean, but tiny, the double bed was against a wall, therefore i i wished to get up then i had wake my partner up in order to get over him,there was a beside table that was in the walk way of the room, this could potentially be a fire risk and the room was beside the elevators, which kept us awake all night. all in all, i can say for the two days that we stayed with the hotel i did not get much sleep.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan lawmakers are looking at legislation that would make themselves part-time politicians.Backers of bills that have been or will be introduced in the new legislative session say the Michigan Legislature is only one of four in the nation to be truly on the job full time. They argue there's no reason they can't do their work in fewer days and with fewer dollars.Critics, including Gov. Rick Snyder and some legislative leaders, say the demands of the work require full-time attention. "I know there is a difference of opinion on this and some of my colleagues will have plenty to say about it," St. Joseph Republican Sen. John Proos told the Detroit Free Press for a story Sunday. Proos introduced a bill in the Senate that would let voters decide if lawmakers should work only 90 days a year."But this is a reform that makes good common sense," he said. "We're having to find savings and solutions to problems on a daily basis."Another backer is Rochester Hills GOP state Rep. Tom McMillin, who plans to introduce similar legislation in his chamber that includes cutting lawmakers' annual salary of $71,685 by 75 percent. He has previously -- and unsuccessfully -- introduced the legislation."I think we can get our work done in 90 days," he told the newspaper. "Our major task is the budget, and we got that done early the past two years."As it is, the Legislature worked 81 days in 2012. From mid-June through the end of November, members logged 10 days of work in Lansing as many House members campaigned for re-election. That was followed by a three-week lame-duck marathon that included passage of 282 bills, including the contentious right-to-work legislation limiting union powers.Lawmakers were in session for 100 days in 2011.Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville said he and his colleagues' work in their districts, including speaking engagements and constituent meetings, should be factored in to the full-time equation. He said the governor talks about the importance of customer service in government, and elected representatives "end up being that window for customer service."Of the top 10 most populous states, three in addition to Michigan -- California, Pennsylvania and New York -- have full-time legislatures. Three others have semi-full-time legislatures that generally don't meet year-round. Most states have lawmaker sessions limited to 90 days or fewer, and some don't meet every year.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Aug. 13 (HealthDay News) -- The length and complexity of
consent forms for people enrolling in clinical trials don't affect
the ability of the participants to understand the key points of the
study, researchers say.
Some previous studies have suggested that volunteers often fail
to comprehend consent forms, which are an ethical cornerstone of
research involving people. To address that concern, recent efforts
have been made to simplify consent forms.
In this new study, U.S. researchers had volunteers read either a
standard or a concise consent form for a low-risk phase 1 study of
a marketed drug. The participants' comprehension levels were
similar with both forms, and the shorter form didn't appear to harm
the quality of informed consent, the study authors found.
The researchers also noted that paid participants had slightly
higher comprehension than unpaid participants. This challenges a
common assumption that people who are paid to enroll in research
may be "blinded by money" and thus ignore important details about
the study when reading the consent form.
Another finding was that overall comprehension was not affected
by socioeconomic status. This appears to counter claims that people
who are socially or financially disadvantaged require special
protections when enrolling in clinical trials, according to study
authors Ezekiel Emanuel, Christine Grady and colleagues.
The study is published in the July/August issue of the journal
IRB: Ethics & Human Research, published by the Hastings Center, a nonprofit bioethics research institute in Garrison, N.Y. Emanuel and Grady are Hastings Center Fellows and bioethics leaders in the federal government.

Moshino Fall 2011, Ready to Wear
The idea that fashion and feminism are inherently opposed hasn't died out in the digital wave. Publications like Bitch and Filament have prided themselves on not being "into fashion". "No Fashion, No Diets, No Celeb Rubbish." reads the former's tagline. Yet the inclination for fashion to oppose feminism seems a bit ironic, considering that in the fashion industry women have long reigned. What's more interesting to me than the question is fashion feminist is the dialogue between fashion and feminism.
Feminism has affected in trends in fashion. The first wave of Victoria Woodhulls and suffragettes fought for the right for women to own property and to vote, as we begin to see these victories take hold (1920 for the latter) fashions change. Flappers with bare knees and shifty dresses become the image, not of feminists, but of women relishing their newfound freedom. The successes of the second wavers with Roe v Wade and divorce laws are celebrated with mini skirts. And pro-sex third wavers get Paris Hilton. At least this makes for good party banter.
I discussed these ideas with fashion illustrator and poignant blogger, Danielle Meder. She was more curious about how certain trends in fashion are feminist. She took her ideas to a post, writing:
"One of the initial, most life-improving changes that women fought to claim was literally freedom of movement – the ability to participate in work, sports, and daily activities without being weighed down by long skirts and restrained by corsetry.
Initially, advocates of dress reform were ridiculed. Their efforts lacked style, their models weren't attractive, and they lacked the ability to sell the public on their ideas. It wasn't until fashion designers like Poiret and Chanel proposed a corsetless silhouette, with their considerable publicity engines and attractive clientele, that corsetry and long skirts were under serious threat. Even then, the fashions weren't necessarily feminist – Poiret held women's mobility under bondage with the hobble skirt. While Chanel's motivations were more clearly feminist in that she designed for emancipated, active women, Poiret's were more about novelty and publicity."
Left: two piece ensemble, 1925, Right: Yves Saint Laurent 1982
What might be worth noting here is the privilege of fashion. While I've found some sources that say Chanel began designing for working women in France during World War I (offering men's pull over sweaters, sailor jackets and plain skirts) most seem to trace Chanel to upscale patrons since the beginning. Regardless, Chanel's simple designs, her menswear for women was not fashionable when Chanel was accepted by the fashion industry and serving upscale clients. But things that are reserved for the privileged always trickle down to the middle classes, to the mall.
With this trickle-down into the clothing of the every-day woman, feminism didn't just passively affect feminism, the right to wear pants (outside of the factory) was hard won, Danielle notes:
"The bifurcated garment has been considered a masculine garment since the middle ages. Co-opting it for women was not at all an insignificant social shift – in fact, vestigial laws are still being revoked, and the subject provokes (confusing) debate in some circles to this day. The leading edge of trouser-clad femininity was celebrity. Amelia Earhart, Katherine Hepburn, and Marlene Dietrich imbued the garment with adventure, charisma and sex.
The early majority was youth – young women who were for the first time, were enjoying the phenomenon of 'teen years' in between childhood and adulthood. Youth had an excess of casual down-time and the disposable income to exert influence over their own clothing, it makes sense that the popularity of pants – and that notable unisex garment, denim, began to trend during the 40s and 50s even as feminist goals were backsliding due to The Feminine Mystique."
It's interesting though, that with the new rights women gained, fashion saw women trying on male-ness. Is it feminist, if women had to bend what they were wearing in order to fit into the "man's world'? Whether it's women bobbing their hair after they get the vote, or Chanel's pantsuit, or the 1980′s power-suit with it's pointed masculine edges, worn as women really took hold of the workplace it's all women taking on male roles. (One of the things the third wave seems to have done is take back traditional feminine fashion, in it's "ironic" retro silhouettes and crinoline.) And yet playing with gender in fashion can be liberating, and helpful to breaking down gender roles and the binary.
But men have not socially been allowed to try on the accouterments of female-ness in quite the same way. While the last twenty years have seen more androgyny on male models, men in skirts have not sauntered into mainstream. But as more and more men begin questioning their gender roles and it's stereotypes, will be see more ripples in male fashion? With designers like Rick Owens and the mall-level phenomenon of metrosexuality, we are already and I think this is just the beginning.
Rock Owens Spring 2012 Menswear
But that nagging question — can fashion can be feminist– does have it's arguing points. Fashion is an industry that promotes unrealistic standards of beauty– via underweight models who are overwhelmingly white. Fashion also promotes a culture of consumerism. The logic here often is fashion = corporatism = bad. But as illustrated in the "Slow Fashion" movement of designers hand-making all of their wares, fashion can embody feminist values.
Feminism today is not the feminism of Chanel's or Friedan's. In it's digital incarnation is far more effort toward inclusivity than we've ever seen before, and as we align our support with women around the globe, what is the affect? Through it all, there will be a dialogue between the two, whether that conversation is: No, I disagree, I reject you or Yes, yes, yes!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found nearly 300 fraudulent products–promoted mainly for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding–that contain hidden or deceptively labeled ingredients.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed calorie labeling for chain restaurants and similar retail food establishments, as well as for vending machines. The move is a response in part to the obesity problem in the U.S. and is seen as a way for consumers to have consistent nutritional information when they make food choices. Read the FDA's "Questions and Answers on the New Menu and Vending Machines Nutrition Labeling Requirements" for more information
Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and other dyes are artificial colorings allowed in foods in the U.S., yet there is a long-standing debate over whether food dyes contribute to hyperactivity in children. The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Food Advisory Committee met the last week of March and determined that there is not enough evidence to support the link between food dyes and hyperactivity in children. For now, there will be no warning labels on food products containing dyes.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about a vitamin solution, Soladek; samples that were tested contained dangerously high levels of vitamins A and D. The FDA has advised consumers currently using this product to stop immediately.
For more information, read the FDA warning.
The FDA posted an alert on an E. coli outbreak that involves hazelnuts by DeFranco & Sons, which has voluntarily recalled bulk and bagged in-shell hazelnuts and mixed-nut products. The recalled products have been linked to seven cases of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and may cause serious illness.

Godi International, Corp., located in South Florida is announcing a recall of Fruta Planta weight loss dietary supplements because the products contain Sibutramine an undeclared drug ingredient. Sibutramine is an FDA approved drug used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss. This poses a potential threat to consumers because Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke.

The September 27, 2010 edition of the Wall Street Journal 's Health Blog reports that food giant Nestle' is looking to expand their stake in "functional foods" - foods that might prevent diseases. According to the article, the company is investing over $500 million into research in order to get a foothold into the functional food market. This move comes on the heels of yesterdays news that the Foot Trade Commission (FTC) is suing the maker of a popular pomegranate fruit drink, POM Wonderful LLC, in a widening effort by the government to clamp down on food ads that tout specific health benefits.
It remains to be seen how this will play out.
According to the press release, Nestlé will create a wholly owned subsidiary, Nestlé Health Science, as well as a research body, the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences, "to pioneer a new industry between food and pharma," the company said in a statement.
There is a growing trend in the U.S. of consumers using a variety of dietary supplements in hopes of getting healthier, warding off disease and easing symptoms of various conditions.
In a September 14, 2010 article, The Wall Street Journal reports that the federal government is stepping up research into the safety and effectiveness of a wide range of products to help consumers make more informed choices about supplements. The article in full-text can be accessed here.
The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio) recently ran a five-day series titled "Little leagues, big costs" In this series, The Dispatch explores where youth sports have taken wrong turns in recent years.

BP to discuss Blaine Road roundabout project
Published on Wed, Feb 24, 2010
Read More
The Washington state Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and BP Cherry Point refinery have plans to build a roundabout on State Route 548 at the intersection of Grandview and Blaine roads and will host an open house next week to answer questions.
Residents and drivers will have an opportunity to view design plans and talk with engineers in an informal setting from 6 to 8 p.m. on March 4, at the Birch Bay Bible Community Church, 7309 Jackson Road, Blaine.
BP will pay for the roundabout, while WSDOT will oversee its design and construction. Construction will begin this summer and should be complete in the fall.
Currently, the intersection is controlled by stop signs and is a bottleneck for drivers, especially during shift changes at the refinery. "The roundabout should take care of the congestion, and make the intersection safer," said BP project manager Dan Abbey. "It will also make it easier for our large trucks to get in and out of the refinery."
Abbey added it will also help prevent future serious collisions for the 4,000 drivers who use the intersection daily. From 2004 to 2009, there were eight collisions that resulted in 10 injuries.
For more information, call 360/757-5970.

This describes the main features of the climate of NE England, the area east of the Pennine watershed from the Scottish border southwards to South Yorkshire. It comprises the counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham, North, West and South Yorkshire and the unitary authorities in the former county of Cleveland.
The topography of the northern half of the area is characterised by generally west to east sloping land, crossed by a number of eastwards-draining rivers including the Tyne, Wear and Tees. Further south, the River Ouse crosses the Vale of York, with tributaries such as the Wharfe, Aire, Nidd and Don. These all have their sources in the Pennines, a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire and Yorkshire. The other significant area of high ground is the North York Moors, rising to over 400 metres.
The major population and industrial centres tend to be associated with the rivers and include Sheffield and Leeds in industrial South and West Yorkshire, Middlesbrough on Tees-side, Sunderland at the mouth of the Wear and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
In contrast, the Vale of York is a farming area with cereals and the Yorkshire Dales are important for sheep farming. The Dales, North York Moors and cities such as York and Durham are also important for tourism.
The area's western and eastern boundaries are the main influence on its climate. The high altitude of the Pennines creates an environment that is frequently cool, dull and wet, but the Pennines also cast a 'rain shadow' across the area through the shelter they afford from the prevailing westerly winds. The North Sea exerts a moderating control on coastal districts where, especially, it can keep summer conditions relatively cool.
Please wait…

CHENEY, Wash. -- A young girl suffering from a rare form of bone cancer faced a major setback.
Sierra Higbee, 8, of Cheney has had multiple surgeries and treaments for her condition. But doctors told her and her familiy that they are out of options for how to treat her.
The family went to Seattle on Wednesday to search for other options. They said they have even considered leaving the United States for treatment.
Higbee had part of her left leg removed last July and now walks with a walker. The insurance company paid for the procedure after they initially said they wouldn't.
Her family said Sierra remains positive.
"She's just challenged every day, but her spirit is high and she's just a trooper," said her father David Higbee. "She's such a trooper and she just brings out the good in everyone because of her strenght."
But Sierra had a siezure in February and doctors learned she had a tumor in the back of her brain.
The Higbee family continued treatment and haven't given up on looking at experimental treatment methods. But the attention that Sierra Higbee needed kept both of her parents from working.
Students at Eastern Washington University raised more than $4,000 for the Higbee family in May to help them with the costs.
"We are so grateful for all the help that we've gotten," David Higbee said.
"Thank you for all of the support that everyone's given me and my family," said Sierra Higbee."
KREM 2 News is keeping in touch with the Higbee family and hope to have an update from them next week.

Build Report: Eduard's 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat
I recently built Eduard's Hellcat, and I quite enjoyed the kit. Though I had the Profipack boxing of the kit, I used very few pieces of the photoetch. I find p/e to be a bit to fiddly for my tastes. Also, while the pre-painted IP panels look fabulous, I enjoy the process of painting and dry-brushing the IP.
There's not much to say about this kit that hasn't already been written. It's a great kit, with no major fit problems. The parts are very nicely cast, and putting it together is a joy. I've not built a lot of Eduard kits, but of the ones I have built, this is certainly the nicest. I had forgotten how "beefy" the Hellcat was until I completed it and placed it on the shelf next to the Spitfires and P-40s and Mustangs.
I do recall that there was quite a bit of discussion about the shape of the cowl, so I did a little test of my own. I compared the shape of the cowl, when viewed head-on, to a meatball from a can of Spaghetti-Os, my cat named Huggy Bear's head, and a bowl full of pinto beans. Of all of them, the Eduard cowling looked most like a Hellcat's cowling. So I'm not sure what the fuss was about.
This kit has a special place for me. The markings are from our dear friend Tom Myers, from the set of Hellcat markings he released under the Possum Werks label, before he went home to be with the Lord. Unfortunately, my decaling skills are not the best, and I had some silvering around some of them. No reflection on Tom's decals, certainly- they are printed by Cartograph and of the finest quality. I thought about taking steps to fix it, but I reflected back on conversations Tom and I had about building models. I realized he would have basically said "Forget it- go build something else." So I did.
This kit has been released as a "Weekend Edition" at a quite reasonable price. At Squadron.com, it's only $19.96 as of this writing. If you want to build a Hellcat, I highly recommend this kit, especially the very affordable Weekend Edition.
Special thanks to my father-in-law, Chuck Hollis, for the kind birthday gift that made this build possible.
3 Responses to "Build Report: Eduard's 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat"
It looks fantastic, nice finish.
Jon, Thanks for clearing me up on the cowling shape. It's good to know it's not meatball-shaped. Really, that's what counts. My wife and I just got back from the beach and while we were down there, we visited the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. I had a blast, and of course had to take a picture (or 10) of the hellcat! As soon as I got home yesterday, I pulled out my Eduard F6F-3 weekend ed. and went to work. Talk about inspiration. Only thing better would be to hear the engine too.
Thanks for your build, looks good. I enjoyed the special decals and the special meaning they hold.

Rock beats Woods in Abu Dhabi Golf tourney
Britain's Robert Rock won his head-to-head duel with a ragged Tiger Woods to lift the Abu Dhabi Championship title on Sunday after the former world number one produced his worst performance of the week.
January 29, 2012 4:01 by Reuters
The two players started the day in a tie for the lead and it was the little-known Rock who held his nerve on the final day to collect his second European Tour victory with a closing 70 for 275, 13 under.
Woods's excellent play over the first three days at the demanding Abu Dhabi Golf Club indicated the 14-times major champion was back to his best but his game unravelled on Sunday as he faded to a 72 for 277.
World number three Rory McIlroy (69) finished second on 276 while Woods had to settle for a share of third spot with former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (68), who had a hole-in-one at the 12th, and Dane Thomas Bjorn (68).
Rock, 34, who started the week 117th in the rankings, was almost overcome with emotion after landing the Falcon Trophy and the first prize of 347,024 euros ($455,700).
"I really can't believe I did that today," said the bearded Englishman. "It is such an amazing feeling.
"I was just happy to be playing alongside Tiger today, that was a special honour in itself. Early on I played really well and I surprised myself.
"I hit some good shots and I began to tell myself, 'Why not (go and win it)?'. I've worked very hard at my game over the last few years but I didn't think this would ever happen," added Rock. ($1 = 0.7615 euros) (Writing by Tony Jimenez in London, editing by John Mehaffey) *image from telegraph.co.uk
