Kallet: Arrogant, Unlikable Yasiel Puig Plays The Game The Wrong Way
He's cocky. He's arrogant. He's extremely unlikable. And he doesn't play the great game of baseball the right way, the way it's supposed to be played. Who am I talking about? You know who. I'm talking about Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig.

Kallet: MLB's New Wild Card Format Is Completely Unjust, And I Have A Solution
If Commissioner Selig is so insistent on having an extra Wild Card team in each league, then I have a solution. Is it a perfect solution? By no stretch of the imagination. It has its holes, and many would cry foul if it was ever implemented, but I can guarantee than it's far more fair than what's currently in place.

Ayelet Zurer has been a household name in Israel ever since playing the role of Shira Shteinberg on "Florentine," a drama about twentysomethings in Tel Aviv, which attained near-cult status when it premiered on Israeli TV in 1997. She relocated to Los Angeles eight years ago, and has been steadily making her mark with American viewers, nailing major roles in "Munich," "Angels and Demons" and, most recently as Lara Lor-Van, aka Superman's mom, in "Man of Steel."
Born and raised in Israel's capital of cool, Zurer says that at first, L.A.'s massive highways and urban sprawl made her homesick for tiny Tel Aviv. "I realized that if I was going to stay here, I would have to find a place that was like Tel Aviv," she says. She settled on the beach area of Venice, which isn't quite the same, but, she says, "I can walk and ride my bike. You see people on the street, and you actually say hello."
Since moving to Venice, Zurer says she has embraced the local surf culture -- even though the Mediterranean-bred actress notes the Pacific is too cold for her tastes. Her husband runs a year-round surf and snowboard camp meant to get families together on their boards.
Zurer makes it a point to return to Israel -- and Israeli smallscreens -- as much as possible. "I look at other actresses who are internationally successful, and none of them stop acting in their own language, at least once a while," she says. These days, Israeli viewers are hooked on her performance as a surgeon ordered to kill the prime minister in the Israeli version of "Hostages."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A federal judge's observation that more must be done to address an achievement gap between predominantly white and predominantly black schools in Pulaski County wasn't alarming to the new superintendent of the Little Rock School District.
Dexter Suggs says he knew about the problem when he arrived last year.
After a federal judge last week ordered an end to extra funding for the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special school districts to aid in integrating schools - Suggs called the gap a national problem.
But Suggs said that - in many regards - the additional funding received since 1989 has worked because the academic achievement gap in elementary schools is narrower and that he sees greater diversity in the Little Rock district.

Dentsu Releases Android Decorational Twitter Client Decotter
Dentsu, Japanese advertising colossus, released a new Android client with D2 Communications and Bijutsu Shuppan Networks Co., Ltd.
The new client Decotter lets you tweet not only 140 characters text but also Deco Sozai(=decoration materials), colourful images and character letters.
FYI, those "deco moji" are not emoji, which is now part of Unicode.
With maximum 10 decorations, you may tweet up to 100 regular letters in a single tweet.
It's only available for Docomo and KDDI au. Not for Softbank Mobile.
Same as their successful "deco" business on their mobile web (i-mode/ezWeb), it co-works with a paid decoration selling service, Deco Market, where people can purchase more decorations to make their tweets stand out.

Should prisoners participate in medical research trials?
COUNTERPOINT: The vulnerable status of prisoners should not be compounded by systematically excluding them from the benefits of science, says Lawrence O. Gostin, professor of law and public health at Georgetown University Law Center and chairman of the Institute of Medicine committee that issued "Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners."
Unquestionably, there's something wrong with how research is conducted in prisons. But if we can correct the problems, then such research will yield a world of good. Sound research can profoundly improve the welfare of inmates. For example, if prisoners are enrolled in studies of such diseases as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C and tuberculosis—which afflict prisoners in disproportionately high numbers—they could benefit from any finding or treatment discovered. Of course, research should never be conducted on captive populations simply to advance the greater good. Researchers should be required to demonstrate how prisoners themselves would benefit from a proposed experiment.
It's true that current regulations have brought about an untenable state of affairs: No one has a complete picture of what's being studied, by whom (whether private or federal agencies) and upon whom. Thus federal oversight needs to be strengthened in significant ways. Gaping regulatory loopholes must be closed and more safeguards established (such as ensuring the privacy of patient information). Prisoners must be uniformly protected, regardless of the source of research funding.
The recent report by the Institute of Medicine would create a national system of oversight and a public database to track studies. The institute's report also recommended that prisoners not be allowed to participate in Phase I and II studies when safety has not been established. Furthermore, at least half of the research subjects in any clinical trial should be non-prisoners so that inmates are not singled out for research that the general public won't volunteer for.
It's true that a significant percentage of trial subjects aren't protected by regulatory restrictions, but that can be remedied in two ways: Congress could mandate uniform guidelines that would govern all research that enrolls prisoners, an the definition of prisoner could be expanded to include people on probation and parole. In addition, institutional review boards should be assisted by independent prison research advocates, who would work on-site to quickly detect and report problems—and ensure that subjects have not been coerced. The issue of voluntary consent and the question of whether prisoners can truly exercise independent choice are fundamentally important. Research proposals that cannot ensure this protection should not be approved.
Finally, the argument that trial protocols cannot be followed in a prison environment subject to lockdowns and other disruptions is disingenuous. Research is never perfect, regardless of the setting. Protocols get disrupted in ordinary trials. It is both harder and easier to conduct science in prison: harder because there are lockdowns, but easier because subjects generally aren't lost to follow-up.
For all these reasons, I'm confident that research conducted in prisons can be both scientifically and ethically sound. I don't deny the threat of exploitation, but with rigorous legal oversight and consistently applied standards of protection, we can banish it.

Yale's rushing game propelled them to win 39-22 against Colgate.
Tyler Varga rushed for more than 200 yards and the final touchdown to cap Yale's 39-22 victory over Colgate Saturday.
Varga had 39 carries for 236 yards in the season opener for the Bulldogs (1-0). His total yardage broke a previous career record of 220 yards.
QB Henry Furman also had a strong running game with three uncontested TDs before the half. Furman finished with 4 carries for 60 yards and 129 yards passing before limping off the field in the first minute of the third quarter. He did not return to the game.
And so that's it. Meanwhile, Colgate is off to their worst start in 17 years as they are 0-4.
Gavin McCarney was a dual threat for the Raiders (0-4), putting up triple-digits in both passing and rushing. McCarney finished the game with 140 yards passing and 136 yards rushing, accounting for two of Colgate's three TDs.
So, there was a lot of running around out there.
WSJ with the story.

God is green and angels are pink and white
While putting my daughter (7) to bed tonight we were talking about the topic "what do you believe in?". The conversation moved to words / thoughts having energy and energy is color.
I asked her these question and these are her answers. Enjoy
what color is God - Green
what color is Jesus - Blue
what color is the Holy Spirit - Red (which also came to my mind)
what color are angels - Pink and White
The happy dancer
awww that is lovely, Paula Children are so brilliant and beautiful I feel so blessed having young children right now, too. Even though I am so tired! haha
Chris just drew a picture of a vision he had...I'll have to ask him if I can share it. He made me promise a couple of months ago not to share it for some reason. It really is profound though. And I did post his picture of "God" from a couple years ago. It was funny because at the time he was going through his surgeries and couldn't use his right arm, so drew it with his left and I had already received many complaints from teachers that all he did was sit and stare out the window or at the ceiling and wouldn't write (maybe because he had unsupportive teachers and no use of his writing hand, hmm?). Anyway, he informed me that while he was staring out the window or the ceiling, he would "go places"...I've expressed this in chat so not going to go in detail here. With that in mind, one day when I picked him up from school and checked in with his teachers about his day, they very negatively said, "he scribbled a little picture today but didn't do anything he was suppose to". When Chris ran up to me in his normal twinkly moon eye smile, he handed me this scribbled picture with a lot of excitement. So, I looked at it and it looked like a spider web with a spider in the middle. Just the fact that he was able to draw a spider web with his left arm was impressive to me and so I told him that. Then he said, "Do you know what I drew, Mommy?" A spider web, I said. He said, "No, and handed it back to me...look at it again" Again, he was very excited. Then he said, "that is what God looks, Mommy....I drew a picture of God for you." Then as I am standing there in awe, one of the teacher approaches me and says, "that is what he did all day long." with this disappointed attitude ha! My aries self totally detached from my center wanted to blurt out, you ignorant person...if you had half the wisdom this little guy has, you'd be learning from him and not missed the gift he was trying to share with you." BTW I shared this picture somewhere on this board
Our children have sooooo much to teach us...every day I am grateful...also for our older generation.
Much love,
Better be happy now....
"The Boy's Gone" Jason Mraz
Good for you AS! You are right--we have so much to learn from children. They can certainly teach us a lot. Unfortunately, teachers aren't wired to see beyond the norm and what is accepted (most anyway). Keep encouraging your little one so he won't close it off.

Download our Reasurance Training ApplicationDownload our Reasurance Training Schedule
CONTACT volunteers make daily calls to the homebound, including the elderly, ill and disabled. In-home assessments provide entry into the program and assure that the client's needs are being met. These "care-calls" help alleviate the depression associated with isolation while providing other services, such as medication reminders. If necessary, CONTACT will provide emergency follow-up with local police to ensure the safety of a Reassurance client.
A Reassurance home visit and ensuing care-call allows an elderly or disabled individual the ability to remain in a familiar, comfortable environment knowing someone will confirm their well-being and assess their needs. They also have the comfort of knowing, in the event of an emergency, the appropriate intervention will be made.
The service provides the client and their care giving family security and confirmation of well being while alleviating isolation and loneliness. The Reassurance volunteer insures that the client is in reasonably good health and that basic necessities are being met. It also provides non-judgmental emotional support. In some cases, the Reassurance volunteer is the only voice the client will hear that day and may be the only human contact they will have in their home. This personal interaction is crucial for the client's mental and physical well being. A Reassurance care-call allows the client to know that living alone does not mean being alone. A Reassurance care-call can give meaning to someone's life, a reason to get up in the morning and a familiar connection to find assistance if assistance is needed.

A very hot topic around Cowboy Nation has been the debate of whether or not the Dallas Cowboys should have two kickers on their active 53 man roster. Well, it seems that question has been unfortunately answered by a season ending injury. Specialty kicker David Buehler has re-aggravated his groin injury and been placed on Injured Reserve.
The third year kicker was only on the team for his ability to produce touchbacks during kickoffs. Rookie Dan Bailey won the field goal responsibilities from Buehler during the preseason, relegating him to kickoffs only. And many fans questioned the need for having both kickers on the roster.
The one advantage Buehler has over Bailey, outside of leg power, is that he is more of an overall athlete. It would not be uncommon to see the 6'2, 230 Ilbs kicker from USC speed down the field and get in on the special team's tackles. Buehler also lead the league in touchbacks in 2009 with 29. Unfortunately, his numbers have dropped since that rookie season.
Despite Buehler having three touchbacks in last Sunday's victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Bailey's overall performance makes the loss of Buehler a lot easier to swallow. The rookie kicker has made 19 field goals straight and that stat currently ranks as the team's third longest streak in it's storied history.
Buehler was replaced on the roster by guard Daniel Loper. The veteran guard was signed two weeks ago to add depth to the Cowboy's depleted offensive line. But Loper has not been active for either of the last two games and was waived last week when punter Chris Jones was activated off the practice squad.

A New Look at Copper Markets: A Regime-Switching Jump Model
AbstractGARCH-jump models of metal price returns, while allowing for sudden movements (jumps), apply the same specification of the jump component in both 'bear'and 'bull' markets. As a result, the more frequent but relatively small jumps that occur in both bear and bull markets dominate the characterization of the jump process. Given that large jumps, although less frequent, are still quite common in copper (and other metal) markets, this is a potential shortcoming of current models. More flexibility can be added to the modeling process by allowing for regime-switching. In this paper we specify a model that allows for switching across two separate regimes, with the possibility of different jump sizes and frequencies under each regime, along with a regime-specific GARCH process for the conditional variance. This model is applied to daily copper futures prices over the period of January 2 1980 through the end of July 2007. The model is estimated both with and without factors such as interest and exchange rate movements entering into the specification of the state-dependent mean of the conditional jump size. In some respects, a Regime Switching GARCH-Jump Model performs well when applied to the copper returns data. The results are mixed in terms of whether or not variations of the model that allow jump sizes to be a function of interest or exchange rates offer much of an advantage over a pure time series approach to the modeling of copper returns over the past three decades.

Are you a TV Fanatic?

I've just rewatched 4x08, and I've been wondering what Juliet's agenda is, and what Ben wants her to do.
So. we know the following:
- Ben was a teacher.
- Serena was the crazy party pre-series Serena from boarding school.
- Lily pays Juliet to keep her mouth shut about whatever Serena got up to in boarding school.
Okay, now here are the key points:
- Remember Damien from season 3? He was the sketchy but pretty badass drug dealer that Jenny didn't have sex with that one time, and that caused unnecessary drama. I liked him. Also, he was hot. Anyway, remember that story that he told Serena or Jenny or someone, nobody cares who, about Serena doing stuff with a teacher at a Bed & Breakfast or staying overnight or something? You do? Good. Me too. I think, and hope, that it's going to come into play here.
- Okay, the set photos from the 20th of October. Serena was wearing an outfit that looked very very much like a uniform (at least the blazer with the emblem thing did) - this could have been a flashback? Damien was also there, and he knows about the Serena plus a teacher plus a bed+breakfast thing, so either someone (Jenny, maybe?) called him there to go against Serena, or Blair got him there to find out what really happened, which sounds like it makes more sense, especially as we've seen the two talking in pictures. Apparently, Ben was seen on set too - but I haven't seen any proof of this. I just read it somewhere - I can't even remember where.
If you haven't gathered my general point by now, let me just sum it up (that was just the evidence. :P). I think that Serena had sex with Ben that one time in the Bed & Breakfast, and that's why he's in jail - statutory rape (i don't know anything about US law, someone correct me if that makes zero sense)?
Please remember that these are just conclusions that I've drawn from rewatching season four and reading spoilers / looking at the set photos, and all that this is, is simply me speculating. I hope it makes some sort of sense. It did make more sense the first time I wrote it, and was a lot longer, but my internet messed up so it didn't post. That wasn't inconvenient at all. :/
I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts on my theory, and to hear about what you all think Juliet and Ben are up to, and what on earth did Serena do?
I agree! Thats what I was thinking too! When I heard it 4x08 when Juliet mentioned that she remebered how different Ben was when he was a teacher, instantly I knew that that would be connected to Serena...I guessed that Serena had something going on with him in boarding school...but then how does Lily come into this? That part confuses me the most.
Anyways I do agree that it would be more likely for Blair to ask him what happened then for Jenny to try to get him help destroy her...since I'm pretty sure Jenny dislikes him and I'm not sure if she's going to find out the reason why Juliet is trying to destroy Serena before everyone else.
Although you're theory has tonnes of proof and evidence in the back of my mind I keeep thinking "it cant be that simple" For them to be dragging this storyline on for so long it has to be something less pretictable...and for Ben despising her that much..didn't Juliet or Ben mention that she had ruined their entire family and not just Ben's life? Though I guess that WOULD make sense since It appeared as though everyone in their family, inclding Colin, thought Ben was guilty except for Juliet who beleives he is innocent...so I guess this whole thing made Juliets Family kind of hate Ben?
This is why I love season 4! You have to think real hard about the sl's and even the spoilers are hard to understand...its very mysterious...anyways I think my 2 paragraphs were pretty much useless since they dont really help..but they are my opinion...anyways you are very smart Ari :) thanks for posting this topic
I think that is what they want us to believe...but i read a spoiler that said Lily pays Juliet money to keep quiet...and Serena will get upset with Lily, because she says she didn't do anything.
Colin said Ben pled Guilty. for whatever he did.
if it was statatory Rape...this is something that would not have been kept from Lily at the time..because Serena was a minor. so it has to be something close but not that.
Serena will get upset with Lily, because she says she didn't do anything.
this is serena we're talking about here. she's probably like, "i had sex with some teacher? huh. i don't remember that." :P
but i do believe that this is a too easy explanation. just my thoughts which could lead to the real story.
Its what I thought it must be about too but if it is I will be a bit dissapppointed considering how long the whole thing has been dragged out. I also thought it was something not just against Serena but against her family too so maybe there is more to it which explains Lily being involved?

Mr. Bernhard Schneider, originally from Munich, Germany, purchased Henderson Village, then a 3,500 acre farm, in 1979. In 1994, Mrs. Newberry offered to sell Mr. Schneider her home, if he promised to maintain it. That was the first of many home purchases. After acquiring the homes, Mr. Schneider decided that a bed and breakfast would be the perfect accompaniment to the properties.
Henderson Village quietly opened in the summer of 1998 with several separate buildings, including six old tenant cottages and four homes. ABS Farms is the owner of Henderson Village and the vision of this special place was to create a unique country resort with historic soul and integrity of a home away from home from a bygone era.
During the resorts development, Mr. Bernhard Schneider had the vision of creating a village. Reflecting on his childhood, he remembers at 9 years old watching the American soldiers as they marched through his occupied German village at the end of World War II and took up residence in the hotel that his aunt owned.
The soldiers spent Sunday afternoons watching American films, and Mr. Schneider recalls seeing one particular love story set in the South. The film left beautiful images of the South in his young mind: large, white houses with columns, large verandas, and friendly people. It was then that he set his sights on working diligently to one day own a plantation of his own in the South.
All of the accommodations at Henderson Village are superbly preserved, while providing the modern comforts of a luxury resort. The rooms at Henderson Village include guest rooms and suites that are donned with beautiful antique furnishings, some with claw-footed or jetted tubs, fireplaces and all have cozy featherbeds.

What is out of kilter in Financial Services for employees & society at large?What seeds of positive change are in the wind or on the ground?
There is a lot of admirable focus these days on culture, sustainability and ethics in the financial sector, but ideals can be stunted by everyday realities or sown even by small victories -so what are they? This is a listening question to help inform a volunteer group of insiders and concerned citizens seeking to care for and encourage the soil and seeds that positive change will sprout from. We think it will emerge more from conversations like this than someone's forced agenda.
Thank you so much. Our group, City Forum, is in partnership with St. Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconciliation (a multi-faith and secular focused London charity founded out of the ruins of a 1993 terrorist bombing whose mission is "to help people build relationships across divisions of conflict, culture and religion").

Nov 30 2013: One thing we found in our two dialogues was that there were three levels to the question:
-individuals trking and management levels with pressures, hopes and ideas
-financial institutions with competitive pressures and perhaps trying to reinvent themselves
-the public under pressure and wanting change.
It would be good to hear about a wider spectrum of impact and action

PORT ST. LUCIE - The Martin Health Foundation has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the PNC Foundation to help build Tradition Medical Center in west Port St. Lucie.
Tradition Medical Center, a 90-bed hospital scheduled to open in January 2014, will feature 14 childbirth suites and a level II neonatal intensive care unit. The hospital will include a full-service emergency department, general and vascular surgery, oncology services and more.
In recognition of the gift, Martin Health has named a section of the Tradition Medical Center maternal-child department the PNC Well-Baby Nursery.
"We are extremely grateful to PNC for its generosity and for helping provide much-needed access to care," said Mark E. Robitaille, president and CEO of Martin Health System.
"Martin Health has a long history of collaborating with the community to ensure exceptional care is available, and this is an example of how those partnerships can benefit local residents."
The PNC Foundation receives its principal funding from the PNC Financial Services Group. Its grant to help fund the maternal-child department complements its support of young children through PNC Grow Up Great, a $350 million, multi-year initiative that began in 2004 to help prepare children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life.
Martin Health System is a nonprofit, community-based health care organization that has served the region for more than 70 years.

I had one of those romances in college - someone I thought was firmly in the friend zone, until we started playing up the 'relationship' that everyone seemed to think we were deeply involved in. We were great together, until I screwed it up. Every now and then in the intervening years I've thought about how life would be like if I'd kept my brain together and married him.
Sometimes your friends know you better than you do yourself.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has one of those in her past. ;)
nope, you're not alone. By now I start to think most of us have these "potential significant others" from the past.
Some time ago I met this girl that I really liked 10 years ago but I never dared to tell her because I really did have no trace of self esteem at that time and I was sure she would not be interested because she was very popular and most guys had a crush on her. So when we met again I told her that I had feelings for her in school and she said "Dammit, why didn't you tell me back then? I really liked you!"
I learned a darn lot that day: Being rejected can be extremely painful, but it's still better than not even trying. And never think that you don't have a chance.

'Happy Ending' For Quaid Family After Twins Tragedy
Following a serious hospital mistake, which almost cost his newborn twins their young lives, Dennis Quaid says the entire experience has changed his outlook on life.
"I do have a greater appreciation of life in general," Quaid told People. "If they hadn't made it, it really would have changed my life. But they did survive. So it changed my attitude."
Quaid, 53, and wife Kimberly, 36, welcomed twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace into the world on November 8, via a surrogate mother.
Just nine days after being born, the twins were taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a staph infection. It was then that the newborns were reportedly given a near-fatal overdose – 2,000 times more than needed – of the blood-thinning drug Heparin.
Now that the twins are happy and healthy, Quaid said he and his wife are able to enjoy all that parenthood has to offer.
"It's the greatest thing to hold those kids and see their faces because we had a happy ending. It's great being a normal dad with the normal problems of not having enough hands for both of them," the actor added. "Their progress and their development appears to be completely normal – aside from being a Quaid."

More Local Restaurants Take the Leap into PDX's Food Court
When we last left Portland International Airport we were busy admiring their beautiful airport carpet designs, but now we're back and we're investigating something a little more delicious. A bunch of famous local eats from the city's foodie scene are making their way past security and into the terminals and concourses. Best of all we won't have to wait years and years for a first taste, as the first will likely debut early next year.
It sounds like plenty of vendors, restaurants, and other shops are running out of time on their leases. That means that a whole bunch of establishments will be changing hands, and that allows spots like Bunk Sandwiches, Bunk Sandwiches, and Mo's Chowder to open a few new airport locations to offer up some on the go eats.

Believe It or Not, Airport Carpets are Inspiring Tattoos and More
Last week, we discovered a little something crazy: the popularity of airport carpets on photo sharing app Instagram.
Delving a bit further into this fascination, and that of other similarly quirky funny Instagram travel hashtags, we've found that not only is the carpet of Portland International Airport in Oregon particularly beloved, but that devotees have gone so far as to have the design tattooed!

Airport Carpets are a Shockingly Popular Subject on Instagram
While Instagram photo series like #throwbackthursday and #windowseat are popular on a mainstream level, there are other, cooler hashtags advancing niche interests. An example of this is #kicksonaplane or, as we recently discovered from instagramming the Phoenix Airport photo above, #airportcarpet.
#AirportCarpet currently boasts 882 photos from Instagram users around the world. Take, for instance, the below snaps from Portland, OR (definitely the most popular airport carpet, by far), and Wellington, New Zealand.
In comparison, #casinocarpet only has 186 images, and #hotelcarpet has 478. Of course one could blame the popularity of airport carpets on the waiting room-like atmosphere of gate areas and the hours of boredom before a flight departure, but where's the fun in that?

Where to Celebrate St. Patricks If You're Stuck at an Airport
In case you haven't had your eyes on the calendar this month, we'd like to remind you that St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. The time to celebrate all things green is drawing near, but don't worry if you're holiday plans include transiting through an airport. Thankfully airports are down with the season—especially when it comes to pre-flight beverages.
All across the country there's plenty of pubs and bars from which to choose, and airports aren't lacking when it comes to those with an Irish theme. Down in Florida you can swing by Rooney's Public House on the main level of Terminal 2 at Palm Beach International Airport, so that you can enjoy a pint in the comfort of some air conditioning.

PDX, MCI, and SNA Get New Restaurants for Your Pre-Flight Noms
For those traveling through the nation's airports there's a few new bits and bites to sample, as a few new airport restaurants have now found their way into the terminals and concourses. They might not have celebrity chefs in the kitchen, but as long as they are not another outpost of a typical food court stand then we back them 100 percent.
Over in Portland—the one in Oregon—the city's airport just scored a few new retail locations, and one of them can be even considered a restaurant if you're okay with a few to-go items. There's now a place called The Oregonian News, another known as Rich's News, and a new Kiehl's location. Over at The Market there's even the opportunity to scoop up local snacks and sandwiches from the city's Elephant's Delicatessen—tasty.

Why Yes, This Donut is Shaped Like an Airplane
"Put a bird on it!" That may be the most famous quote from the popular IFC series "Portlandia," but it's also Virgin America's goalto put one of their birds on a Portland route. Today, that bird flies SFO-PDX for the first time and we're on board.
Let's start out by saying that Virgin America knows how to throw a launch party. They do it often enough that it's now a finely crafted work of party art. For this week's first landing in Portland, the theme was "local": local libations, local entertainment and local celebrities.
Just steps after disembarking the A320 named "Mt. Hoodie," the planeload of first flyers was greeted with a glass of champagne (not cheap stuff, either) and a red carpet, where "Portlandia" mayor Kyle MacLachlan gave a speech in character. It was hilarious and he made sure to let us know that even though his preferred method of travel is bicycle, he was still excited about Virgin America's entry into the city.

Virgin America's CEO Dishes During Their Inaugural Flight to PDX
"Put a bird on it!" That may be the most famous quote from the popular IFC series "Portlandia," but it's also Virgin America's goalto put one of their birds on a Portland route. Today, that bird flies SFO-PDX for the first time and we're on board.
To say that Virgin America took advantage of every second of the short, hour-and-a-half inaugural flight from SFO to PDX would be a gross understatement. The second the doors closed, all the way until we disembarked in Portland, the activities for passengers kept on coming. Meanwhile, we dutifully filled you in from the air.
To kick off, the flight began by screening an episode of "Portlandia" that heavily featured the flight's two big guests: "Portlandia" mayor, actor Kyle MacLachlan and real Portland mayor/"Portlandia" mayor's assistant, Sam Adams. The episode got everyone on the flight pumped up and ready to party (as if they weren't already), as well as primed for a quick game of "Portlandia" trivia, which we knew all the answers to (duh).
Shortly after takeoff, Virgin's hand-picked crew began beverage service and, before we knew it, we were sitting with Virgin America CEO David Cush. Time for some serious questions.

Hello from 32,000 Feet, Onboard Virgin America's First Flight to Portland, Oregon

LIVE from 32,000' above Northern California:
We are officially airborne and on our way to Portland! The pre-departure festivities at San Francisco's snazzy Terminal 2 were complete with cookies and celebratory remarks by Virgin America CEO David Cush and "Portlandia" mayor's assistant/real Portland mayor, Sam Adams. Kyle MacLachlan, who plays the mayor in "Portlandia," is here as well, so really we just need to have shell art kits in the seatback pockets and all will be ideal.

'Put a Bird on It' and Take 20% Off a Virgin America Flight
Oh hey do you live in California or Oregon? Well, as if you needed any more reason to be excited for the start of Virgin America flying to Portland, the airline has launched a contest called "Arts and Aircrafts" with IFC's hit show "Portlandia." Of course there's a prize in it: a free flight to PDX and the opportunity to party in an airplane hangar.
To enter, go HERE, pick one of your Facebook photos, then, well, YOU PUT A FRIGGIN' BIRD ON IT (as we've done with this photo). Don't worry if you don't understand the reference, you will soon enough. The top-voted photo winners will get a free trip to PDX on Virgin America's inaugural flight in a few weeks, in addition to joining in on the Portland hangar party.

Yes, TSA is Testing Some Common Sense New Rules about Senior Citizens, But...
In the name of giving credit where credit is due, we're hereby noting that TSA is considering maybe letting travelers over the age of 75 keep on their shoes and light jackets as they pass through security. The pilot programwhich will be launched Monday in ORD, DEN, MCO, and PDXjoins other experiments designed to speed the screening of trusted fliers, pilots, and children. They're all part of TSA's effort to move away from a one-size-fits-all model, which is quite laudable and so three cheers for slightly less stupid airport security.
But come on. Have we really gotten to a place where we need staggered pilot programs to evaluate whether it's OK to let grandma wear her beach flip flops as she shuffles, ever so slowly shuffles, through a scanner? It's definitely worth trying out, but it just seems so small.

Virgin America's Newest Routes Will Totally Help 'Keep Portland Weird'
Everything happens in threes, and Virgin America's latest route launches follow the pattern. This year so far it's been new flights to Palm Springs, Philadelphia (launching beginning of April) and nowthe third "P"Portland, Oregon.
Just announced today, Virgin America will begin hopping over to PDX from both SFO and LAX beginning June 5. LAX will get two daily nonstops, while SFO claims only one. Whateverthat's plenty to help "keep Portland weird." Rates start at $99 each way, inclusive of taxes and fees. LA and SF people mixing with Portlanders is usually pretty hilarious, and they're pretty much most of the guests at The Ace Hotel PDX, so Virgin's new flights will just help them make the trip to "where the young go to retire" even easier. But that's not all!

Please Do Not Pee on Fellow Passengers
You'd think we wouldn't have to say this, but after an incident yesterday onboard a cross-country flight, we have to: please don't pee on fellow airplane passengers. Not only is it gross and rude and borderline criminal, but it also ruins a flight for the rest of the passengers onboard and makes the situation very difficult for flight attendants. This is officially an amendment to our just-published list of The Top Ten Gross Things Flight Attendants Have Seen Passengers Do on Airplanes, assuming the FAs saw it happen.
As the story goes, the JetBlue red-eye from Portland, OR to New York-JFK yesterday has a family with an 11-year-old girl who wouldn't shut up, or was a disturbance in some way. A drunk 18-year-old boy got up, confronted the girl at her row, exposed himself and peed on her. The NY Post continues:
