Apparently it's the 29th(!) annual Korean parade on Oct 3 along 6th ave, with some kind of festival going down in K-Town at the same time. I've never been to this, but sounds like it might be interesting:
"The festival will provide interactive activities, such as Korean cooking lessons from talented chefs from the community, Korean youth singing competitions, and even a Kim Chi making demonstration. Visitors have enjoyed perusing through the various unique products and services available in the product tent, and, of course, savored their favorite Korean food, such as kalbi (BBQ shortribs), bibimbap (mixed rice and vegetables), and kim chi fried rice."

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have
identified genes linked to the small stature of Western African
Pygmies in Cameroon.
A large number of previous studies have pinpointed nearly 180
genes that influence height differences in European populations,
but this is the first genome-wide study of genes that affect height
in African pygmies.
On average, pygmy men are about 4 feet 11 inches. It hasn't been
clear why pygmies are so short, and scientists have suggested a
number of theories based on natural selection. For example,
pygmies' small size reduced their nutritional needs, helped them
better handle hot climates or enabled them to reach sexual maturity
at an earlier age.
Along with identifying genes that may be responsible for
pygmies' small size, this study, led by researchers at the
University of Pennsylvania, also suggests that hormonal pathways
and immune system regulation may have been the evolutionary drivers
of pygmies' short stature.
The study appears April 26 in the journal
PLoS Genetics.
"There's been a longstanding debate about why pygmies are so short and whether it is an adaptation to living in a tropical environment," senior author Sarah Tishkoff, a professor in the genetics and biology departments at Penn, said in a university news release. "I think our findings are telling us that the genetic basis of complex traits like height may be very different in globally diverse populations."

WAUKESHA, WI (WTAQ) - Voters in part of Waukesha County will elect a new state representative Tuesday.
Five Republicans are running, and there's no Democratic opposition. Jeanne Tarantino, a former chief of staff to Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, is on the ballot – along with Pewaukee Police Chief Ed Baumann, construction manager Todd Greenwald, window cleaning business owner Adam Neylon, and Marquette graduate student Matt Morzy.
Tuesday's winner expects to run unopposed in April, and will then be seated in the Assembly to replace Republican Paul Farrow – who won a special Senate election in December.

Baldwin kicks in a hat trick in playoff race
Blaine all but clinched a league play-off berth with a dramatic come-from-behind 4-3 road victory Tuesday over Meridian in a game that saw Luke Baldwin get a natural hat trick and Jake Schulte score his first varsity soccer goal.
Trailing 1-nil at the half, coach Kai Edwards told the Borderites the obvious: "This is all about getting into the playoffs. Find a way to win." And so they did, with Baldwin scoring two minutes into the second period. Six minutes later he scored again, and again 10 minutes after that, giving him a "natural" hat trick, three goals in a row without anyone else on the same team scoring
it wouldn't be enough without
Blaine junior Jake Schulte popping in the game winner
10 minutes after Baldwin's
third goal.
Blaine is riding a four-game winning streak into the playoffs after starting out 2 – 6.
"Things like this are happening because of hard work. We're coming together as a team," said Edwards, "but we've also got these guys now who may not start but who will go out and work as hard as they can for 10 or 20 minutes."
The last time Blaine met Meridian they lost, but this time "we just flat out-worked them" Edwards said, "my team may not have the talent others do but no one will outwork us."
The win puts Blaine into fifth place, well into the playoff picture, but they still must wait for Thursday games to be completed before finding out Friday if they'll need to play a tie-breaker on Saturday to get in.
Boys golf team first out of seven schools
After a third place finish among the seven NCC schools that field golf teams in the first round, Blaine won the second of four season-ending conference matches last week at Semiahmoo Golf and Country Club. Their combined score of 417 was 11 better than league-leading South Whidbey's 428 and puts them in third place, eight strokes behind the Falcons and 80 strokes ahead of fourth place Meridian.
In the first match, held at Shuksan, Blaine lost 12 strokes to freshman John Dudley's disqualification for playing the wrong ball. Only the top five scores on the six man team are counted in a match, so Dudley's DQ meant that his 82 was dropped for classmate Daniel Hartman's 94, still a good score but one that cost the Borderites 12 of the 19 points by which they trailed leaders South Whidbey and Lakewood, tied at 415 strokes each.
"It was because of John's respect for the game," said head coach Steve Barthlow, "because no one else saw him. He hit a shot into the rough, found the same kind of ball he'd been playing but when he got to the green he realized it wasn't his, so he took the disqualification. He's an honest golfer."
The curly-haired freshman is also fun to watch. Nicknamed "the Walrus" by coaches and team mates, Dudley winds up like a John Daley type of hitter on the tee, showing a compact and muscular wood-shopping kind of swing that explodes a lot of power straight through the ball. His form won't get him on the golf channel until he turns pro, but it sure works, and with it he's been as consistent and unstoppable as a Timex watch.
The next match out at Semiahmoo saw the deadly Dudley hammer hole after hole with shots so accurate his opponents might have suspected him of using a slingshot. He finished with an even 80, tied with classmate and teammate Mark Sundem, and with the win Blaine's nipping on the heels of the first and second place squads, South Whidbey and Lakewood. They'll next play this afternoon at Homestead in Lynden.

mmm I love MMO economics. The truth is it's basic economic theory and the behaviour coming from the everything for 2g sales or the undercut everyone on gems is hardly anything Blizzard needs to deal with.
On the everything for 2g in some cases it may be right to buy and list them at a higher price in some cases it'll be the wrong move. Sure a lvl 70 with extra gold probably won't care 1.5g or 2g (it's still in an area where marginal benefit > marginal cost to them). To a low level though yeah I see why they'd be upset however in wow there's no monopoly on production (aka you can kill the mob that drops an item yourself or get from someone not going through the ah) so it isn't really a problem. The greater truth from the perspective of a low level is that all it's really doing is causing inflation and while relative money drops off mobs aren't increasing so aren't the things they're spending money on (skills, repairs, etc). If anything it's giving them an opportunity to be rolling in cash by listing the item for 1.9g on stuff that should normally sell for say .5g and selling to either Mr. 2g or to the next level 70 who comes along and needs it. From the 2g seller's perspective the behaviour will last on items where it's worth it for the guy to re-sell at 2g (aka equilibrium based on supply and demand is closer to being reached), but when the market really needs it to be sold for less then he's just wasting his money and odds are he's going to figure this out eventually.
For the JC undercutting everyone no one practises predatory pricing period not even Walmart as much as people dislike it (they practise cost cutting in every way shape and form, but not predatory pricing). You don't sell below cost and lose money on the hopes that you'll get rid of all competition and be able to act like a monopoly and capture consumer surplus. It doesn't work in the real world and it sure won't work in a fictional world where there's low barriers to entry into the industry (especially since most of his competition would just stop selling for awhile let him list his stuff higher and undercut him). Just reading the linked thread now all the guy is doing is selling gems for a lower price which is either being stupid or just seeing a new equilibrium develop. There's no way he's losing money on the sales since if he was he'd be out of money eventually and no one would have reason to complain so again it's just a balancing equilibrium between supply and demand. If you can't sell your gems for the price you list it's simply because your price exceeds the equilibrium price. The mechanic is working the way it is right now because everyone has ignored the actual market. In this case seriously someone please go read up on perfect competition and what economic profit is in that situation. Obviously we're not in 'perfect' competition because there are some barriers to entry, but we're pretty close seeing as there are probably a lot of JCs who can do exactly the same work he does in exactly the same manner if they wanted to.
Oh and please don't tell me about, but people do take losses and sell stuff for less than mats (thus predatory pricing). An obvious example in my mind would be engineers selling khorium scopes, but it's not really predatory pricing because there's a utility attributed to skilling the prof up which if it didn't exceed the utility of the monetary loss the item would never get crafted.

In 1943 Hermann Hesse published his last major work, Das Glasperlenspiel (The Glass Bead Game). It was first published in English in 1949 under the title Magister Ludi, which is the novel's Latin designation for the chief controller and premier player of a complex and esoteric intellectual endeavor, the Glass Bead Game, which a dedicated monastic cult will have perfected in a peaceful and rational world about three hundred years from now. The book was important to Hesse's winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946, maybe because it was so long (892 pages in the original German edition). Hesse began writing it in 1931, and it asks to be read in the context of its time, though it has no overt connection to politics—in that respect resembling James Hilton's Lost Horizon, 1933, also a vision of peace, possibility, and virtue somewhere else than here and now.
It's not easy to imagine what reading it must have been like for German speakers in 1943 (Hesse's books were banned by the Nazis by then). I read it, like many people my age, when a new translation (restoring the original title) appeared in 1969—a different sort of year, not three hundred years on, though sometimes it seemed to be: like living in the future, or far away. We'd already read the hallucinatory Steppenwolf and the mild Siddhartha; the theosophy and Jungian esotericism Hesse had grown up with were coming back hotly, the onset of new-old possibilities that somehow yoked renunciatory asceticism with personal liberation and indulgence, mild peaceableness with violent rejection of the status quo and its masters. It may seem strange that so many could have read this often tedious and peculiarly arid book, but they did—or at least enough of it to get the idea, the gist, of an all-encompassing, all-absorbing game that can be played but never finished, mastered but never won.
It evolves, or will evolve, in this way. In the Age of the Feuilleton—a period that seems to encompass both Hesse's time and our own—though people have acquired "an incredible degree of intellectual freedom," culture has degenerated into a mess of pandering to mass taste, superficiality, showing off, and a lack of rigor such that the very notion of "rigor" has vanished; truth is diluted to opinion and maundering, art is deprived of connection to profound practices of the past, writing and education deal with ephemera. This time of confusion and excess leads to, or is at any rate followed by, the Century of Wars, after which, through the dedication and labor of a few remarkable individuals, discipline and order are returned to intellectual pursuits. Formal mathematics and classical music from Michael Praetorius to Mozart are rediscovered. And while creativity and originality in art and other intellectual pursuits never recover from the bad ages, a new power begins to emanate from reviving intellectual centers, as from the monasteries of the ages formerly known as Dark. A strictly regulated brotherhood upholds scholarly standards of such purity that they gradually win admiration for standards in themselves. Teachers trained in the new institutions, called Castalia collectively, go out to instill a new elite with enduring values, and while the common pursuits of mankind—marrying, making money, politics—continue, at least they are pursued rationally and temperately.
(This sort of elaborated summary is actually the mode of the book, which is one long violation of the creative-writing teacher's "show don't tell" rule.)

Van Nights
We're leaving Commercial Drive and its vegan restaurants, its urban farming and its hangovered youth, to stay a few days at a more central location. Our bikes feel light without the bags at the front, and we're cruising down 12th Avenue, reaching top speed everytime we get to a traffic light which turns red automaticaly as we reach it.
We're a little late, but Ajung doesn't seem too angry with us. She lives in a quiet street on the edge of the gay area: Davie Village. She leads us up to her flat which she shares with two other Korean students. There's definetly something asian about this flat, something to do with the bright blue, red and green plastic cups, the tiny bowls on the draining board, the laundry baskets which have mouths and eyes and look like anime characters. I'm glad we're going to spend a few days with some Koreans here, because the different Asian communities are really part of Vancouver. It's something you can't not notice.
Tonight, Ajung is meeting up with her friends from university and going to a club. The bouncer gives me a series of very quickly executed pats as if he was showing me the basics of karate; his job really being to search my body for any weapons. I show my ID a second time, just so they are really sure I'm not 18 and I get inside. The club looks pretty clean and almost up-scale, but still Spag managed to get in with his hiking boots and his old hoody. I look around and realise that the few men I see are almost all badly dressed, some of them are even wearing baseball caps, like they're here for a rap video clip. The chics have noticeably put more effort into their outfits, and whether the result is attractive or not is a different matter, but I can tell they've spent time to compose a look. There seem to be a huge amount of girls in here, and I'm told that it's because it's lady's night, and that for another 15 minutes there'll be boys parading naked on the dance floor. I walk further inside, and see the dance-floor and its half naked powder-eating paraders, surrounded by a swarm of excited females, shrieking at the top of their lungs, and I look away and sit at a table and for a moment I feel like I don't really belong to the scene I'm in. I'm starting to get used to that feeling, being an outsider, being an English Alien, studying the mouvement from up above, something between a spy, a journalist and a tourist. We sit at a table and have a chat with Ajung's friends who are from France, China, Mexico and Kazakstan. I don't think I've ever met anyone from Kazakstan before, and for some stupid reason, I start talking about horse riding. She laughs at my cliché conversation topic, and I can't really blame her, it's like talking about the Eiffel Tower to a Frenchman.
The strippers have left now, and the club is filling up with new comers, young boys with over sized t-shirt and too much gel in their hair, indian girls wobbling on high heels, a few old men in checked shirts, eyes drating up and down young pairs of legs, saliving under over-grown moustaches. We invade the dance floor, and Spag does his usual dance which looks like he doesn't know what to do with his long dangling arms. The DJ is going through all the usual rubbish, throwing in flavourless international hits one after the other. I guess he's being as uninventive as I was when talking about Kazakstan…

Twitter will use encryption by default when users sign into the micro-blogging website.
"HTTPS is one of the best ways to keep your account safe," Twitter wrote in a blog post explaining the move. "It's especially helpful if you use Twitter over an unsecured Internet connection like a public Wi-Fi network."
Although Twitter is making HTTPS the default setting for users, you can turn it off in your account settings.
Users who log on to Twitter over unsecured public Wi-Fi risked having hackers use tools such as Firesheep to gain unauthorised access to their accounts, said Graham Cluley, a security researcher for Sophos.
"If you log into Twitter over unencrypted Wi-Fi – for instance, at an airport lounge or at a conference – and you don't have HTTPS enabled, then a hacker could sniff your session cookie. And anyone who can sniff your session cookie can pretend to be you," he wrote in a blog post.
The option to sign in via the HTTPS protocol, which ensures that log-on data is encrypted, was introduced last year. Twitter had originally stated its intention to use HTTPS by default last August.
Facebook users have the option to sign in via HTTPS but it has not yet made it the default method, while Google+ uses HTTPS as standard.

Baker updates press on fatal hit-and-run probeApril 12,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Rutland City Police Chief James Baker speaks to the press Friday about the investigation into the hit-and-run fatality in the city earlier this week.Rutland Police Chief James Baker told the Vermont media today that while criminal charges have not yet been brought against a man who admitted to being behind the wheel in a fatal hit-and-run crash this week, no special treatment was being afforded to the suspect, former longtime city official Christopher Sullivan.
For anyone to think that we are treating Mr. Sullivan differently than anyone else is ludicrous, Baker said of the ex-city attorney during a 2 p.m. press conference at the city Police Department.
Were doing the best we can to gather evidence based on facts and not on rumors floating around on a Facebook page, he said.
The chiefs reference to the social media site related to what he called a sense of anger hes noted in the community since Sullivan was identified Thursday night as the driver of the vehicle that killed 71-year-old Mary Jane Outslay as she crossed Strongs Avenue in downtown Rutland.
Baker said Sullivan was driving 2004 Lexus sedan, which police recovered with extensive damage to its hood and windshield. Sullivan remained free Friday, and the chief said he didnt anticipate charges being brought until next week by the Vermont attorney general, whose office is handling the case.
Baker said city police were devoting all of their resources to finding the vehicle involved in the crash after Outslay was struck just before 8 p.m. Wednesday.
But the chief said police found almost no forensic evidence at the scene and no video images of the vehicle involved. Then the department was contacted Thursday morning by Shrewsbury attorney Barry Griffith, who told police he was representing Sullivan.
Sullivan and his attorney met with police at the department at 1 p.m. Thursday and the former city attorney allowed law enforcement to seize his Lexus, which was found parked behind a garage at his Rutland home.
Baker said Sullivan admitted to being the driver who was involved in striking something on Strongs Avenue. Asked by a reporter whether Sullivan believed he hit an object other than a human being, the chief said he couldnt elaborate.
The chief said Sullivan was also interviewed briefly by detectives who are now working to find and interview people who were with Sullivan during the hours leading up to the fatal crash.
No information about Sullivans statements or his activities earlier Wednesday night were released at the press conference and Baker made it clear from the start of the press gathering that he wasnt going to discuss evidence in the case including witness statements.
I cant elaborate on the evidence, Baker said. Mr. Sullivan has rights that are afforded to him, the same rights we all have.

Architects roll out first look at
new fire station design
By Meg Olson
done a feasibility study and determined that the facility
will meet the site, said Peter Carletti, president
of Carletti Architects. This is a concept for it.
Carletti and associate Tim Goodman presented city council
with their first look at how Blaines new fire station
on Odell Road might look.
Basically, its a house with a big garage, Goodman said at the April 1 meeting. The new station would have four truck bays along the front of the building, facing Odell Road across from Geographics, and an ambulance bay on the south side. A fire station isnt just about fires anymore, Goodman said. Its about medical emergencies, too.
Behind the vehicle bays, a small shop and bunker gear storage, the fire station will have two sections living quarters for firefighters on duty and administrative offices. Joining the two will be a large meeting and training room and public washrooms. There is also a small utility room sublet by the county public utility district as part of an interlocal agreement to bring fiber optics to the city.
Were not going to get everything we want, Carletti said. I cant think of a project without compromises. Trucks will back into the bays by pulling forward into a hammerhead alongside the driveway. A pull through configuration, Carletti said, would have strained the budget and the site limitations. Its incredibly more expensive, he said.
In the living area, there will be four rooms for firefighters to sleep in, enough for each one to have their own room initially yet big enough that firefighters could double up as the station added more staffing. A kitchen, dayroom, laundry and fitness rooms are also planned so firefighters have everything they need without leaving the station. This is where the truck is, so theyre always here, Goodman said. When they do leave on a call plans call for the system to have an automatic appliance shutoff system. Thats what you hear about happening, said city attorney Frank Chmelik. The fire trucks go out and the station burns down because someone had beans on the stove.
A review of the plans by local firefighters had led to some changes in the concept developed with the fire station committee. These are the people who will actually live here, Goodman said. There are always 50 ways to do something. As long as you keep the same management the infrastructure was built on, youll have a successful structure for years.
The architects tried to give the exterior of the building a rustic feel, with a pitched roof and gables, and plan to focus on economical, low-maintenance materials. You dont try and create a monument, Carletti said. Try and make it as maintenance free as possible.
Estimated size of the building would be just shy of 10,000 square feet, at a cost of $1.25 per square foot for the turnkey facility, including design, permitting and construction. A city voter-approved bond issue generated $1.6 million to build the building on land purchased by fire district 13, as part of the ongoing contract for the district to provide fire services to the city.
Blaine assistant public works director Steve Banham said the city and the fire district are pushing an aggressive schedule to get the new station done. Were on a fast track now to get construction going this summer and have the station ready for the new fire trucks, Banham said. Fire district 13 has ordered new apparatus, some of which they plan to station in Blaine.
As design progresses, Banham said open houses to get public input on the station will be planned. If the community is involved early they dont think its a done deal, he said. There are lots of opportunities for the community to get involved our antique hose reel, exterior paint, landscaping, said Blaine fire captain Jim Rutherford. He suggested a program of selling personalized tiles for the entryway, similar to the Blaine Library tiles.
Presentations of the preliminary design are planned for several local organizations and for the April 22 city council meeting.
Early start to contract review
Earlier in the April 1 meeting the city and fire district 13 began the review of the contract under which fire district 13 provides fire service to the city. The contract expires in 2004, and the two parties will have to decide if annexation or a new contract is the best way to continue to insure community fire needs are met. This is just to give you an overview, city manager Gary Tomsic told city council members, district 13 board member Bill Salter and staff from both groups. We need to work on this cooperatively and the sooner the better. Fire district 13 is a different entity than it was at the beginning of the contract. Theyve been on the cutting edge and doing some very innovative stuff organizing fire protection for rural areas.
Mike Campbell, chief of the new North Whatcom Fire and Rescue Services which united fire districts 13, three and five for operational, administrative and training activities, explained how the new organization improved fire service. The process of consolidation is how we can lower costs and meet our legislative requirements, he said. It costs the same to run 10 calls as it does to run 100 calls it takes the same output of effort, equipment and staff.
Chmelik said annexation and continuing to work under a service agreement both had advantages. Annexation is quite simple, he said. The city gets out of the fire business and taxpayers pay directly to the fire protection district. You lose some control but you dont have to deal with those issues. Annexation would require approval of voters in both the city and district 13. After three years city voters could vote again to de-annex. Under annexation, the fire district would be redistricted and commissioners from Blaine would be elected to the board.
Agreements such as the one now in place are becoming a long-term alternative for many communities, Chmelik said. Consolidation agreements are becoming more and more common as it becomes increasingly difficult for smaller districts to deal with growing requirements. Sometimes a fire district likes a service agreement better. They dont have to start wondering how to plan after three years. A contract can last five, ten, 20 or more years. ..

Ongoing updates about projects that directly affect the communities of District 5
Current Projects
Irving Boulevard between La Paz and Universe Boulevard
City Council recently approved a contract with Vector Engineering that will design and construct a traffic signal at Irving Boulevard and Universe Boulevard and the needed roadway improvements along Irving Boulevard that will open up the unused westbound lanes.
Traffic Signal at Molten Rock and Unser Boulevard
The long awaited traffic signal at Unser and Molten Rock finally meets warrant criteria. The signal is currently being designed and should be installed by Spring of 2014.
Improvements On Top of the Escarpment
These improvements are part of the Special Assessment District 228. They will widen Paseo del Norte from Unser to the Escarpment. They will widen Unser Boulevard from Paseo del Norte to Rainbow. Scenic Road, which will provide additional access to Unser for Montecito Estates, will connect to Rainbow Boulevard and Universe Boulevard.
Petroglyph Little League Concession Stand
For the past few years the State, the City and the Little League Board have been working together to fund, plan, design and construct a new little league concession stand for the Petroglyph Little League in Mariposa Basin Park. Due to FEMA and State Engineer constraints, the planning team is working on a mobile concession unit and expects to have it finalized in time for the Spring 2014 season. Please contact Tony Duran with any questions.
Ventana Ranch Park
Phase one and two are complete! The next phase of the park, including another grass field, tennis courts, racquetball courts, sand volleyball and recreation center, will require further analysis from the state engineer which we expect to take a year or two to complete - even though you won't see any construction vehicles out there for a while we are still actively working on completing this park for our communities. Please contact David Flores with any questions.
Councilor Lewis is working to construct a new library in District 5. We are in the preliminary planning stages. Councilor Lewis has committed $200,000 for land acquisition. Please contact Dean Smith with any questions or suggestions.
Multi-Generational Center
Councilor Lewis has begun the long-term planning process for a Multi-Generational Center in the Northwest Mesa. This center would serve senior citizens during the day and have activities for the youth in the evening. As it is used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week it is a very responsible use of tax-payer dollars and will make a huge improvement in the quality of life for all District 5 residents. Councilor Lewis has committed $250,000 for a feasibility study. Please contact the Director of the Senior Affairs Department, Jorja Armijo-Brasher with any questions or suggestions.
Recently Celebrated Projects
A traffic signal at the entrance to Ventana Ranch Park was installed to help cars going to and from the park safely enter Universe and help kids crossing Universe by foot or bicycle safely access the park.
City Councilor Dan Lewis, Bernalillo County Commissioner Lonnie Talbert, Senator Sander Rue, Representative Tom Anderson and the Board for the Paradise Hills Little League celebrated the Paradise Hills Little League Improvements, which include two new little league fields decked out with fencing, batting cages, backstops and dug outs, and 53 additional parking spaces.
- Unser Boulevard between Bandelier Drive and McMahon Boulevard was recently widened to two lanes in each direction. The improvements will reduce the bottleneck and remove any lingering safety concerns for the area.
- Per the request of multiple neighborhood associations and residents of District 5, Councilor Lewis asked the Department of Municipal Development to conduct a warrant analysis for and construct a deceleration lane on McMahon Boulevard at Stonebridge Drive. Funding for this public safety improvement was provided by Councilor Lewis.
- Councilor Lewis approved funding to widen Unser Boulevard between McMahon Boulevard and Black Arroyo Boulevard and completed the project in the late Fall of 2012. This project widened Unser Boulevard to a consistent four lane configuration, coordinated the roadway between Bernalillo County and Sandoval County, added turn lanes and included concrete barriers at the request of the nearby businesses. As soon as it meets signal warrant requirements, there will be a traffic signal at Summer Ridge Road and Unser Boulevard. Traffic Engineers believe this will happen in the near future.
- Councilor Lewis, Councilor Sanchez and Councilor O'Malley worked together to find funding that improved the 31-year old irrigation system at Ladera Golf Course. The project will save millions of gallons of water by eliminating leaks and boosting Ladera's irrigation efficiency from around 50 percent to between 70 and 75 percent.
- Phase II of the Unser Boulevard Extension, from Paseo del Norte to Paradise Boulevard was completed in the Spring of 2012. These improvements included a traffic signal at Paseo del Norte and Unser Boulevard and improvements to the already constructed portion of Unser (formally known as Lyons) just south of Paradise Boulevard. This final phase completed the entire stretch of Unser Boulevard, from north to south and is vital to improving public safety and reducing congestion points throughout the West side.
- The ribbon cutting for Phase I of the Unser Boulevard Extension, from Boca Negra to Paseo del Norte, occurred on September 9th, 2011. The improvements include: a traffic signal at the intersection of Rainbow Boulevard and Unser Boulevard; a traffic signal where Rainbow Boulevard intersects with Universe Boulevard; a full, two lane extension from Boca Negra to Paseo del Norte (approximately 1.4 miles); realignment of Rainbow Boulevard and Universe Boulevard to eliminate the S-curve; and construction of a bridge for Unser with approximately 900 feet of mainline storm drainage pipe.
- Councilor Lewis was pleased to announce the completion of the improvements to the NW Education Corridor just in time for the start of the 2011 school year. These improvements include median fencing along Rainbow Boulevard between Volcano Vista High School and Tony Hillerman Middle School to prevent jay walking; extended turn bays into the school to eliminate traffic going out into the through lanes; and enhanced street lighting on Rainbow Boulevard. Councilor Lewis worked to lead the collaborative effort between Albuquerque Public Schools, the City's Department of Municipal Development, and the Albuquerque Police Department to improve the safety and traffic flow for children and drivers alike.
- After many years of waiting, Councilor Lewis was eager to provide the funding for a Traffic Signal at Paseo del Norte and Rainbow Boulevard. The signal was installed at the end of the Summer of 2011. This is a permanent signal which provides pedestrian "walk" and "do not walk" signs thereby increasing pedestrian safety. There is also an additional turn lane for east bound vehicles on Paseo del Norte turning south on Rainbow Boulevard.
- Re-creation of the artwork on Montano Bridge was completed in the Summer of 2011. This project was paid for out of the 1% For the Arts fund and is an importance piece of Albuquerque's Public Art Program.
- The APD 6th Area Command building for the Police Department in District 5 is now complete. It was dedicated on May 17th, 2011 in honor of Michael R. King and Richard W. Smith, Jr. who lost their lives in the line of duty on August 18, 2005. This building is on track to be LEED certified and won the American Institute of Architect's award. Conference rooms are available for any neighborhood meeting. Please call the substation, 768-4850, if you would like to reserve a conference room.
- Councilor Lewis, per the request of the Santa Fe Village Neighborhood Association and surrounding residents, provided funding for lights at the Santa Fe Village Dog Park off of Unser Boulevard. These lights were recently installed by PNM at the beginning of March 2011 and have been a great benefit to the community.
- In January of 2011, the Department of Municipal Development completed the widening of McMahon Boulevard west of Unser Boulevard to four lanes. Street lights were also added along the corridor to increase safety and visibility.
- Councilor Lewis and Councilor Sanchez hosted a joint celebration of Unser Boulevard on November 16th, 2010. The ribbon cutting at Unser and Senator Dennis Chavez was followed by a groundbreaking celebration of Unser Boulevard in the Northwest.
- Ventana Ranch Park Phase I and II are complete with grass fields, basketball courts and a playground. The additional grass space will provide more opportunities for children to get involved in sport leagues as the number of neighborhood parks is not sufficient to meet the needs of the District at this time.
- The McMahon-Universe Connection was completed in the end of August 2010 with the official ribbon cutting celebration on September 7th, 2010. This connection has relieved much of the traffic that cut through surrounding neighborhoods and has helped with congestion around CNM.

Ravenous Games to 'wrap up production' of Random Heroes 2 sometime this month
Anthony Usher
Random Heroes 2
Ravenous Games
iPhone, iPad
Ravenous Games has revealed in a post on the
Touch Arcade forums
that it's currently "wrapping up production" on a sequel to Gold Award-winning pixel-art platformer
Random Heroes
As you would no doubt have guessed, said sequel is called
Random Heroes 2
According to the aforementioned forum post, this follow-up will contain three brand-new chapters, all of which will feature 30 bite-size stages and a thrilling boss fight.
Besides enemies, all 90 stages will house collectible stars and special crystal skulls that are used in the character and weapon upgrade process.
Platformers from Ravenous Games usually boast pretty solid controls, but you'll probably still be pleased to read that
Random Heroes 2
's controls will be fully customisable.
Unlike in the original
Random Heroes
, you can use these controls to aim vertically and pull off a useful back-strafing manoeuvre.
Sounds good, right?
Ravenous hasn't confirmed a release date for this sequel yet, but we'd wager that
Random Heroes 2
will crash onto the App Store later this month or early next.

Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
Shafer's single-vineyard Carneros-grown Chardonnay is produced from small-clustered clones of grapes selected for their low yields and distinctive flavors. Fermentation takes place within
individual oak and stainless steel barrels using native yeasts. The wine matures on the lees for
14 months and since it undergoes no malolactic fermentation this Chardonnay retains a lively
natural acidity. The vineyard is named for its Red-shouldered Hawks and other birds of prey,
who play an important role in Shafer's natural farming practices.
Crisp exotic spice, rich melon, honeysuckle, apricot, all held together with bright acidity, good
structure and elegant balance.
"In an irregular year for North Coast Chardonnay, Shafer's 2008 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is a winner. Elegant notes of orange blossoms, nectarines, pears and honeysuckle jump from the glass of this crisp, medium-bodied, richly fruity wine. Fresh, lively and flavorful, this impressive Chardonnay can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years."

It doesn't matter. My dad can still kick your dad's butt.
Sony's not stupid after all.
Chances are if there was no Sony music in iTunes, a lot of people wouldn't notice and wouldn't actively seek out Sony music elsewhere.
Good Sony would end up loosing so much money if they ended pulling out of iTunes. Think about it every one has an iPod or an iPhone and iTunes is basically the main hub from where they get almost all their music so it would be unwise to pull out.
They backed out of it because they are blouses. Straight up.
100 percent agree. I never did much pirating, but people look at me crazy when I tell them I buy my music from iTunes. You can't beat the convenience of one click buy and you are done.
Sony does something smart for once
this is just Sony's way of biting their tongue and keep things they same way. They might not have like what happen with the reader but they are still a big contributor to your sales of music

"Our program is pretty darn both effective and well-operated," said Jamie Kendrick, who has overseen speed cameras as a deputy transportation director for the city. He described the systemwide error rate as being "well south of one-half of 1 percent."
Averella said that while AAA shares the city's goal of enhancing safety near schools, issues such at those detailed by The Sun reinforce suspicions that the main purpose is to raise money.
"I think it's a public perception problem the city is going to have to work hard to address," she said Sunday. "All it does is chip, chip away at the integrity of the program and makes it hard for motorists to believe it's about safety."
In the case of the Cold Spring camera, city transportation officials said this month that they were testing that device and one on the opposite side of the road. "We have discovered that some larger vehicles may have experienced radar effects that led to abnormal speed readings," officials said by email, adding that refunds will be issued if they find there was interference.
A spokesman for the city's speed camera contractor, Xerox State and Local Solutions Inc., said the company and the city "conducted a thorough investigation" after learning of a potential problem with the Cold Spring camera.
"This investigation determined that the speeds recorded for an extremely limited number of high-profile vehicles were excessive due to radar effects, most likely reflection off the large metallic surfaces of these vehicles," spokesman Chris Gilligan said in an email. "Unfortunately, in these instances, the radar effects were not identified due to human error."
Gilligan said the company also "added in an extra quality-control step in the review process for tickets that are 30 mph over the limit to better prevent these anomalies." A new company, Brekford Corp. of Anne Arundel County, will take over the city's speed camera contract in January.
Clarke said Sunday that the city should have pulled the plug on the camera in February, as soon as a Xerox manager told a city transportation engineer he thought the camera had inaccurately recorded a truck's speed. "I would have turned it off and not turned it on again until I was sure there were no problems," she said.
Clarke said The Sun's findings complicate her plan to introduce legislation requiring school bus companies to report citations to the city. Last month, The Sun published findings that hundreds of privately owned buses have received speed camera tickets in the city.
"Until the camera system is accurate in the eyes of the courts and of the public," Clarke said, "this kind of reporting is not as valuable as it should be for us to protect children."

Melinda Taylor, Director of Sales for Aloxxi, joined the team in September and has hit the ground running.
"Melinda has a reputation for her decisive, dynamic nature, efficient management skills and dedication to each task she's given. We are thrilled to welcome her to our Aloxxi Family," says Myriam Clifford, Managing Director of Aloxxi. "Her knowledge of the industry coupled with her track record for success will be an asset to the team."
Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Taylor feels she has found a home at Aloxxi.
"I was looking for a place where superior products and quality client services were interwoven with an atmosphere of professional camaraderie and the opportunity to help build a brand. I believe I have found it all at Aloxxi," says Taylor.
Prior to Aloxxi, Taylor was with Alterna as their Director of Sales and Education. She took some time to speak with MODERN SALON about what she and Aloxxi have planned for 2014.
What do you think hairdressers need to know about Aloxxi?
Our company is truly focused on building the stylist. We're doing that with an amazing concept of the color personalities. We want customers to say "I want to be a Roman Goddess." It really brings back the art of hairdressing.
What is Aloxxi doing to set itself apart?
We're bringing back the salon experience for the consumer and we're coaching stylist on providing outstanding customer service. At the schools, they are focused on teaching technique, which is great, but we all know that even if someone messed up my hair but I had a great experience, I'll speak well of that salon.
We want to be the Nordstrom's of the salon world. They come from behind the counter, they write a thank you note, everyone there is invested in delivering excellent customer service.
What does it mean to have George Schaeffer at the helm?
Unreal. When I flew in to meet with the team, I got to meet George and his passion and how much he truly cares about the customer convinced me that this was the place for me. He's always asking, what does the stylist need, what does our distributor need? And he loves to be entrepreneurial and take risks. At the end of the day, if something doesn't work, he is fine with going back to the board and trying something else.
What do you and Aloxxi have planned for 2014?
It will be expanding our customer base and ensuring customer satisfaction. Also making sure our message is really clear to the stylist on what we're doing with our color personalities.

Food-Prep Station 12 12
What I need - with a few glitches I bought this table as 1) storage; 2) prep station for grilling and 3) a stand for my portable oven when it's too hot to cook inside. It really satisfies those needs. My only reservations are 1) the finish on the top and shelves is ugly, and 2) the threads of the door handles are so short that I had trouble attaching them and fear they won't stay on. The sale price - $104 - seemed reasonable. October 9, 2012
Top surface not durable I've had this in a screened in porch for a few years, it's never been outside in the sun. It's been used mainly for storage, not serving, so the top of it is not in use 90% of the time. The top and flip-up sides are covered with a thin piece of plastic which has chipped and peeled off. An extra adjustable shelf would be helpful too. We've never used the included tray because it takes up a whole shelf and wastes a lot of space. On the upside, it has held up over the years. Doors need a little effort to close, but that's almost expected for an inexpensive plastic piece like this. September 19, 2012
Excellent for outdoor entertaining. I have been looking for this type of station for some time. Very pleased so far. The folding side arms extend the prep surface quite a bit. The wheels make it very portable. Stores all grilling utensils. The storage space could be laid out more efficiently. I wish there was at least one more shelf insert. September 17, 2012
Nice Storage Solution Easy to assemble and lots of storage for outdoor things. Looks very nice. Only complaint is the doors do not align perfectly and one does not open easily because of this. Although the unit itself was packed well, the two metal handles were not, and they were scratched and marred. Their excellent customer service did send out two replacements right away, but they were not packed well either, so they arrived not much better than the originals. I suspect it is a combination of packing as well as manufacturing issues. Other than that, I am quite pleased. August 3, 2012
pretty good for the price The product is presentable and very roomy for including dinnerware For the price i hold up well . I a happy with it Lets see how the weather treats it July 24, 2012
This cart is good for both storage and serving I was initially a bit disappointed that there was not a second shelf because there was so much room above the utility tray. Then I put my tablecloths on the top shelf and turned a serving tray upside down on top of them and put the utility tray on top of that. I may yet purchase a small cabinet organizer shelf to place inside the cabinets to increase the shelf space. It was a recent purchase so I cannot speak to the durability factor, but it does look like it will last. I do plan to keep it just inside my patio door and wheel it out only when in use. I would not abuse it with a Wisconsin winter! July 17, 2012
Not worth the price Very dissappointed in this product. I would have returned it same day but it was half put together and wouldn"t come apart to go back in the shipping box. Doors don't close properly and doesn't feel sturdy at all. Door handles barely attach with very short screws. Always thought this catalog only sold items of decent quality for the price. I'll think twice before ordering from this catalog again. Definitely not worth the price. July 12, 2012
handystorage on the deck I was looking for something that could stay outside in all weather and be functional at the same time. This provides good storage for all the dishes, glasses, silverware, placemats, trays that we use exclusive on the deck in the summer time. The top is great as an extra serving spot. Because it is 'weather proof' I am able to keep everything in it during the winter snow and ice. October 24, 2011

CeBIT 2010: Preview of BIND 10 DNS Server
In the Open Source Project Lounge in Hall 2 of this year's CeBIT, the developers of BIND 10 presented a preview of the upcoming version of the nameserver and are looking for a contact to the community.
BIND 10 should replace the 10-year-old BIND 9, which BIND developers say constitutes 80 percent of all DNS servers. The anticipated BIND 10 new features should include better cluster capabilities. The server will not only run in a cluster, as many users are already running scripts to accomplish, but it should have a management interface for communication within the cluster.
The developers are also planning a generic interface for file storage whereby files, SQL databases, and other alternatives can connect. BIND 10 should thus be able to serve large registries with millions of entries or ISPs with many small zones, as program manager Shane Kerr explained to Linux Magazine Online. In the longer view, BIND 10 should include a complete rework of the DNSSEC security protocol.
BIND 10's development is under the non-profit Internet Systems Consortium's (ISC's) watchful eye; however, whereas BIND 9 was mainly the work of ISC developers, BIND 10 is more directed as a community project and, therefore, on a broader know-how basis. The ISC set up a project page with a wiki, repository access, and bugtracker expressly for the purpose. The first release should have a technology preview around March 19, 2010 that will show the results of BIND 10's first year of work. The first production version should be available in 2012.
Among the sponsors are country registries such as for Japan, Canada, and Germany; however, the project is also requesting support from other areas, to generate a product that will satisfy as many needs as possible. The server is written in C++ in certain performance-critical parts and in Python. Source code is under BSD licensing. Shane Kerr and his colleagues are ever present at CeBIT Open Source in Hall 2 of the Project Lounge.

Grant to aid space and military development, economic development
By Chris Fish
BREVARD -- Launch processing facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station will get a fresh look in the coming months, thanks to $275,000 in Florida defense grants awarded to the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast.
Members of the Economic Development Commission said the award comes from Florida Gov. Rick Scott's distribution of $2.4 million in 2012 defense grants to communities and organizations that support Florida military installations.
Members of the Economic Development Commission said the award consisted of a $200,000 Defense Infrastructure Grant and a $75,000 Defense Reinvestment Grant.
Gov. Scott's office distributed seven Defense Infrastructure Grants and 11 Defense Reinvestment Grants throughout the state of Florida in 2012.
President and CEO of the Economic Development of Florida's Space Coast Lynda Weatherman said, in a press release, that the infrastructure grant will be used to upgrade the launch processing facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Ms. Weatherman said the reinvestment grant will be used in conjunction with the Space Coast's military installations for economic development.
In an email, Ms. Weatherman said the defense grant the organization received will help ensure that the county's space and military assets remain productive parts of Brevard's economic development.
"As our post-shuttle economy continues to evolve, we are working to keep space and its related industries a vital part of that future," she said. "The Space Coast is home to important aerospace infrastructure, such as Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, and we must ensure those valuable assets fit with the needs of commercial companies and other entities that choose to use them. (The grant) will allow us to continue to do that by improving and modernizing the launch vehicle processing facilities at CCAFS."
This is the largest defense grant the organization has received from the governor's office since 2010, according to the commission's records, when it received $585,470.
Members of the Economic Development Commission said previous grants the organization has received contributed to advocacy efforts for economic projects.
At a state level, the grants help protect a $60 billion economic impact and more than 686,000 direct and indirect jobs in the defense industry.
The grants are awarded annually on a project-priority basis by Enterprise Florida.
