Saves money that could go to the SR 520 rebuild, disrupts traffic during the construction process far less than the alternatives, probably would mean less in RTID taxes would be required, and most likely would mean we have to leave less stinking piles of bonds for our children and grandchildren to pay off.
Josh's next episode of Sheket Bavakasha! should be directed toward anyone who proposes an option for the Viaduct or 520 without explaining how they would pay for both projects.
why... doesn't... anyone... ask... the... federal... government... for... money
Oh, Charles, that's the funniest thing you've ever said. The feds aren't going to give more money to us for anything.
how do you know? ted stevens got money for a bridge to nowhere. patty murray supposedly is going to be the one who could make it happen. when i lived in green bay wisconsin we got the federal government to pay for a new bridge across the fox river. every. single. penny.
if it's out of the question for... why? Who has bothered to ask? It's a legitimate question that nothing i've read in the media has answered.
Murray is poised to become chairwoman of the Appropriations subcommittee for transportion and other areas.
That puts the third-term senator in a position to pursue several major priorities for the state: $750 million for Sound Transit's "University Link" extension; $690 million for cleanup at the Hanford nuclear reservation; money for a joint port-security operations center for Seattle and Tacoma.
Why not add SR 520 to that list? That would solve the "we don't have money for both 99 and 520" snafu that seems to crop up in all these discussions. Or vice versa, get the feds to help pay for 99. It's a question that is worth asking.
Ted Stevens is a right-wing Republican. Patty Murray is a Democrat. I know people are still giddy about taking the House and Senate, but neither the House nor the Senate are going to be able to get a PENNY past the White House. Bush doesn't even need to veto things he doesn't like anymore.
And I absofuckinglutely guarantee that Bush doesn't like Washington State.
Or we could take the high road and not ask for tons of earmarks and pork. I'm sure you all got upset with Ted Steven's bridge, but now it is okay to use the same dubious tactics for our own projects?
We should gut most of the federal government so crap like this doesn't happen.
Andrew: Western Washingtonians already pay more in Federal taxes than we receive back in Federal spending, whereas the opposite is true for the entire state of Alaska.
So, while I appreciate your point about pork, I'm not sure the Fed's ponying up for 520 (in particular) as a critical route for a major economic center in the US really would count as pork. More like spending a region's tax dollars on a crucial piece of infrastructure.
my point was that if a superfluous bridge to nowhere could get money, then it stands to reason that a legitimate project like 99 should be able to get *something*.
The fact that nobody is talking about the federal government as a possible ally in this viaduct thing kind of blows my mind. This is the kind of thing the federal government is perfect for: assisting state and local governments provide essential services that are beyond the capabilities of the local governments on their own.
as for the whole bush-hates-washington thing, i don't doubt it. but the democrats control the budget. if bush wants to get into a budget fight, it's not like the dems can't make life hard for him, too. pundits are already speculating that the dem's control of the purse might be used to get bush to capitulate on a lot of things. it's a powerful club to have.
as i see it, not even thinking about trying to use the federal government as a source of funding is pretty dumb. there are a million and one reasons why it might not work, but that isn't any reason to not try. or at least talk about it.
it would be nice to see some coordination between our state democrats and the ones in washington on this. do they not have phones?
i mean, we're their constituents, right? i didn't check maria cantwell on my ballot so she could *not* try to get money for our state, did i?
btw, here's a nice picture of green bay's bridge.
Cool. The pic looks like the 1st Ave S. bridge viewed from the south.
Sending more troops? Building more infrastructure? Hmmm.
And speaking (@1) of stinking piles (of debt)...for our children and grandchildren to pay off, that fed defecit's pretty big, hunh? I bet if Bush knows how to play Hearts, he'll especially enjoy heh-hehing that defecit hot-potato over to the new Dems like the Queen of Spades.
I am too lazy to look up the original citation right now, but I vividly recall a brilliant analysis pointing out the Bush-era deficits are entirely due to lost revenue thanks to the Bush tax cuts. Even the wars basically gobble up the would-be surplus.
Remember, all this debt gives the Saudis all they need to bring us to our knees. Who needs ICBMs when you have something far more powerful: US Government Treasury bonds.
Charles and FNARF - I know there is no fed, state, or county money - because I actually asked the people who would get it, and they say it isn't there.
So, basically, the Gov can only choose a rebuilt modern elevated viaduct rebuild or an underwater tunnel.
Politically, she can't choose the no build option, nor can she choose the good alternative of Surface Plus Transit (it has to do with taxes).
Aren't you glad we didn't build a monorail? Because of that failure, we have little support for a tunnel option, actually. It's like falling dominoes or why Iraq is such a Quagmire.
i guess i just don't know enough about how the federal budget works to know how they disperse that money for state projects. It seems a little funny to me that we've been literally ranting back and forth about this viaduct/520 thing and then I pick up the paper and see that, :piff:, three quarters of a billion dollars is falling out of the sky from the federal government for light rail. I didn't even know that that was on the immediate agenda.
for me it comes down to the reasons behind this apparent lack of federal fundage being totally unclear. it would be nice if there was more reporting on it.
anyway, thanks for the insight, will.
Federal transportation funds are given out in 6 year cycles. Next cycle is 5 or 6 years away. No road projects get federal money until then.
Charles, that money took a long time to queue up for the ST LINK part, and the reality is the Feds are still run by the GOP (just ask President Cheney).
Now, unless you've found a magic way to change our state constitution (and come up with the transit portion of the Surface Plus Transit), and can actually find some spare $2,200,000,000 lying around, the reality is the Gov is going to choose between an elevated viaduct rebuild and an underwater tunnel (and we come up with the $2.2B in local taxes for the latter).
The political cards are already on the table - doesn't take a genius to figure out what they are.
Greg Nickels is going to cost a few thousand people their lives, because he is going to use permit due process to blockade the state from proceeding when he finds out they won't build his Tunnel... until the viaduct finally comes crumbling down in the next earthquake, likely during business hours.
I suppose a dual purpose tunnel combining transportation with nuclear waste storage is out of the picture, though funding from the feds would be generous.
Gomez, actually, the state can issue its own permits to itself, and the city can't do a darned thing about it.
When playing chicken, don't race with the guy who sold you the fuel for your in the first place.
The Governor's Legislative Liason has explictly put the Retrofit on the table as an option.
The WSDOT consultant has now said that the Retrofit is feasible.
Can you draw a straight line?
I've been an adamant supporter here of the tunnel (if there's the money) and the PWC option (if there's not). But I'll tell you what, the retrofit is starting to sound pretty sensible.
For one thing, the retrofit would mark a victory by the people of Washington against WSDOT and its insatiable road-building appetite. It seems like WSDOT is to the state government what the Pentagon is to the federal government: the one agency that leaves all other agencies in the dust when it comes to burning through taxpayer dollars, and yet the one agency that alleged fiscal conservatives usually manage to turn a blind eye toward. Perhaps it was literally the state legislature and not WSDOT that mandated we had to preserve 100% of vehicle capacity, but don't think WSDOT didn't have a hand in that mandate. And it was WSDOT that left us with this Hobson's choice between two multi-billion-dollar highway projects. The traction being gained by the retrofit and the no-build mark the people and elected officials standing up to WSDOT and demanding other, real choices.
First WSDOT dismissed the retrofit. Now Ron Paananen with WSDOT says the retrofit would cost 80% as much as the rebuild. I'm a bit skeptical of this number. This is coming from the same agency that has repeatedly said the viaduct carries 110,000 vehicles a day when, as Erica Barnett reported, it actually carries 70-some thousand a day. But y'know what, even if the retrofit cost 100% as much as the rebuild, I would consider it a bargain:
Yes, the claim that the retrofit would only last 25 years (take this claim with a grain of salt since it comes from WSDOT) is actually an advantage. That 25 years buys the city and the region more than enough time to transition toward the day when the viaduct can be taken down entirely, and we can truly realize the PWC's vision.
And hey, if the retrofit does save money, the state can transition that statewide gas-tax money to a highway that's of vastly greater statewide significance: 520.
By the way, there's another nice thing about the retrofit that I hinted at when I wrote: "That 25 years buys the city and the region more than enough time to transition toward the day when the viaduct can be taken down entirely, and we can truly realize the PWC's vision." If we don't take the opportunity to build a bigger, badder viaduct now, then we're sure as heck not going to a generation from now when the retrofit needs to be replaced.
All the trends that are taking shape today are just going to be that much more entrenched 25 or so years from now. There's going to be much greater density in Seattle. Oil is going to be even more scarce. This nation is going to, more or less fitfully and painfully, loosen its dependence on foreign oil. The limitations of biofuels and plug-in technology compared to hundreds of millions of years worth of oil deposits are going to be exposed. And environmentalism is going to be that much more mainstream and tangible and that much less boutique and toothless. The travesty of building a massive elevated highway along a scenic downtown waterfront is going to go from being an accepted truth among elites to being common knowledge among the common populace.
Will, that completely contradicts multiple reports I've heard. And you're the only one I've heard that believes this.
I guess we'll find out who's right when the State tells Nickels no-go on the tunnel.
@16 - i actually want there to be a rebuild or a tunnel. i think the surface street idea carries the most amount or risk and counts on a lot of things to work out in order for it to be a success. i was merely wondering how much of the total bill, no matter what the solution is, could come from the federal govt.
thanks for the clarification from everyone--that's what i was really after in the first place :)
@23 - I stand by my statements.

Most flights into Tahiti arrive at night, which means that unless you can get a connecting flight to another island, you will have to stay in Papeete (capital of Tahiti) for a night. One night is enough. We paid around USD150 for a dirty plain room for one night. And this was with a discount off the standard rate. You can pay way more than this. The only advantage of the hotel was that it was near the harbour and we could walk to the ferries that went to Moorea. Moorea is much better than Tahiti but still stupidly expensive. On our way back we left Moorea early, rented a car back on Tahiti and drove around some of the island, which can be quite nice when you leave Papeete.
Whilst outside of Papeete, there are some nice things to see on Tahiti, I would strongly recommend you go and see Moorea and spend most of your time there as this is much more the Polynesian beauty spot that you may be expecting. Tahiti has just got too built up in many places.
- Pros:Beautiful Scenery, friendly people.
- Cons:Ludicrously expensive, doesn't match the hype
- In a nutshell:Greek Islands are cheaper and more beautiful

The ruins are fascinating--I'm glad to hear some of the history has been preserved. Now, for those Polynesian dances... sounds like it would make for trim waistlines!!!
Great page, beautuful place I would love to visit. Will have to come back to read some more. Swimming with turtles must be great! Greetings
I'll be spending most of my time in Bora Bora. Helga is interested in finding out what I'm going to do over there. Hence, browsing pages for ideas. U didn't mention about BB, but I did get some good ideas about Moorea. Thanks!
Great page...very helpful as well....=D
very intersting page with the history of Tatoo.

Kingston senior RB Demarcus ran for a career-high 229 yards and 3 TDs Thursday night in leading the Yellow Jackets to a 41-17 victory over Loudon.
"It feels good to come together as a team and win a game like this," Foster said after the game. "We've had a couple of games this year where we've let games slip away in the second half, but we didn't let that happen tonight. I had a big night, but I couldn't have done it without our quarterback, offensive line and our wide receivers blocking down field."
The Oliver Springs Middle School Lady Bobcats didn't win the 2011 Hollis Eble title, but Paige Wright's squad played well, winning three of four games to finish third overall.
The Lady 'Cats opened tournament play with a 31-9 victory over Petros-Joyner, but lost their second round game against eventual champion York Institute, 36-23. Oliver Springs then picked up a 37-35 victory over Rockwood and a 39-35 victory over Coalfield for the third place finish.

At the International Isshin-ryu Karate Association's annual banquet and tournament (IIKA Nationals), the Roane School of Isshin-ryu Karate posted impressive tournament results. In true Olympic fashion, first place winners received Gold Medals, second place received Silver with Bronze going to all third place finishers.
The Rockwood Middle School Tigers are hoping history repeats itself this season.
Last year at this time, Bryan Powers' squad won their second straight Hollis Eble Championship en route to what turned out to be an undefeated season and an East Tennessee Championship.
Tuesday night, Rockwood made it three straight Hollis Eble championships with a 38-24 victory over York Institute.
Tuesday's win was the third in the tournament for the Tigers as Rockwood opened the tourney with 42-20 victory over Sunbright before beating Coalfield in the semifinals, 49-17.
The final week of the regular season is here and it should be a wild one as all five county teams could still make the playoffs.
Rockwood, Oliver Springs and Kingston have secured their postseason berth, but Harriman and Midway still have work to do.
The high school football game between Midway and Rockwood will be played Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at Rockwood's Civitan Field.
Harriman Middle School softball players Marilyn Franklin and Abby Higgins were recently named to the TMSAA All-District Tournament Team.
The Kingston Lady Jackets had hoped to end Christian Academy of Knoxville's (CAK) streak of winning the District 4 A/AA Championship at five straight years, but the Lady Warriors had a different idea as CAK rolled to a 7-4 victory in West Knoxville for their sixth title since 2006.

Midway hosted Hancock County in their final home game of the 2011 season looking to end a three-game losing streak before next week's big county match up with Rockwood.
The Harriman Blue Devils were no match for the Grace Christian Academy Rams Friday night, falling by a score of 49-0.

A woman was arrested after she allegedly assaulted her husband with a gun Friday in Leavenworth, a Leavenworth Police Department spokesman said.
The woman's husband also was arrested for allegedly battering his wife during the incident.
Police received a report of a disturbance around 7:45 a.m. Friday in the 600 block of Osage Street.
Officers met with the husband and wife, both 27. The two had been arguing, said Maj. Dan Nicodemus, Police Department deputy chief.
The wife alleged the husband grabbed her around the neck. She allegedly struck him with what was described as a Guadalupe candle to get him to let go.
Nicodemus described a Guadalupe candle as a candle in a glass holder.
"(The husband) alleged she struck him with a fist several times," Nicodemus said.
The husband also alleged his wife grabbed a handgun, pointed it at him and then struck him above the right eye, causing a laceration.
He was checked at the scene by Leavenworth County EMS personnel, but was not transported to the hospital, Nicodemus said.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and battery. The man was arrested on suspicion of battery. Both were taken to Leavenworth County Jail.

Dog kidneys were perfused with hypothermic human albumin by a nonpulsatile method for 72 hours and then transplanted. Successful 72-hour preservation was possible, but depended on the applied perfusion pressure. In viable kidneys, no rising perfusion pressure and only slight increases in kidney weight during perfusion were found.
That these results may be transferred to human cadaver kidney preservation was shown by four successful nonpulsatile perfusions up to 24 hours in duration.

Research Institution:
AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In-vitro drug testing on precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) provides the most realistic biochemical metabolic profile of in-situ conditions for predicting drug toxicity and metabolism during early stage drug development. An ample supply of cryopreserved human liver slices obtained from viable donor livers and hepatic resects of split liver transplant surgeries could be used for in-vitro drug testing and replace the need of experimental animals. However, imperfect preservation techniques that degrade viability and reduce drug testing incubation periods have limited the potential of PCLS. Prior research efforts to cryopreserve PCLS have encountered fundamental problems of ice formation at extra- and intracellular sites and toxic levels of cryoprotectants which have resulted in impaired xenobiotic metabolism and biotransformation capacities. The working hypothesis that this feasibility study seeks to address is that ice-free cryopreservation of precision-cut rat liver slices employing molecular ice control compounds will enhance xenobiotic metabolism and hepatic viability for extended incubation periods compared with existing vitrification and conventional cryopreservation technologies. It is hypothesized that vitreous cryopreservation of PCLS using synthetic molecular iceblockers will retain xenobiotic metabolic functions for longer incubation periods. The xenobiotic metabolism functions and cellular integrity of cryopreserved PCLS will be assessed using various viability and histological assays. Following successful completion of the aims of this Phase I SBIR feasibility proposal, scale up issues will be addressed in Phase II SBIR submission to fully develop an effective storage protocol for banking of human and large animal liver slices. It is anticipated that the PCLS banking will invariably reduce and in many case replace the need of experimental animals required for drug testing. This technology development will provide multiple benefits to the US health care system by expediting drug screening process and reducing drug development costs. The specific aims of Phase I of this proposal are the in- vitro evaluation of natural and synthetic molecular ice control compounds with selected cryoprotectants proven to produce ice-free cryopreservation and maintain tissue function and viability. First, the selected formulations will be tested in vitro for cytotoxicity. Second, formulations with the greatest biocompatibility will be evaluated for ice formation in PCLS during preservation. Rewarmed PCLS will be evaluated for metabolic function over extended incubation periods. The molecular ice control formulations which provide the highest tissue viability and least interstitial ice formation will be tested in larger animal and human PCLS tissues in a sub-sequent Phase II SBIR proposal.

The speaker is mostly hidden from us – there is no "me" or "I" mentioned. But he tends to pop out from behind his veil of objectivity with this habit of telling us his emotions. He's like, "Here I am! And I feel sad!" He says that the scale of dissolution is "awful" and its music is "melancholy." What he really means is that change frightens him, and he doesn't like to see the things he loves pass away.
But otherwise he does a good job at hiding himself from us. He uses big words and grand diction that are more formal than intimate. You could even call him haughty. At least some of the second-generation Romantic poets like Percy Shelley and Lord Byron might have agreed with you there. You'd almost think the speaker was auditioning for some stuffy period drama on the BBC. (OK, we admit: we love those dramas, and heck, we love Wordsworth too.) And, as with so many English poets, you can tell the speaker has read a lot of Shakespeare.
The speaker likes to take the long view of his life and of history. While others are worried about the day-to-day, he has come to realize that things change so quickly that no situation, good or bad, will last. You might as well embrace mutability, he thinks. Further, he wants us to believe that his ability to hear the music of change means he is a respectable person. He says that people who get caught up in crime and greed can't hear the music, and he clearly can, so he must not have "meddled" in these things. So there you have it: he wins the "Upstanding Citizen Award."

The homeowners' wish list included a view of the beach and a deck to enjoy it from. Even though this house had both, the deck was rotting and the lawn had a hazardous dead tree near the road. Once they removed the tree, Susan was able to get the full wraparound deck she had dreamed of.

The Hidden Victims
Rafaela Persson photographed female drug addicts and their children in Afghanistan. [more inside]
the other drug war, in that other place
While most of the attention in the war on drugs has been focused on Mexico of late, the opium trade in Afghanistan is still alive. Though perhaps not as well this year, as Tajikistan reports far less opium crossing the border, attributed to more use within Afghanistan as well as an unexplained poppy blight. With yields dropping and prices rising, US-backed efforts to encourage farmers to grow alternate crops (previously) may be derailed, despite a trade agreement with Pakistan which promises to open the country's borders to more trade in legitimate consumer goods with India. Meanwhile, people are looking into ways to turn the poppy fields into biofuels.
Reaping what's sown.
With inadequate access to basic health care (WHO .doc summary), impoverished Afghans turn to cheap and available opium as 'medicine' for pain relief, cough suppression and other ailments. The level of addiction among children is at a critical level. Jawed Taiman's film Addicted in Afghanistan provides some further perspective. [more inside]
The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard amid the guns below.
The poppy is bitterly ironic this Remembrance Day. Borrowed from John McRae's classic In Flanders' Fields, the poppy has shifted from a symbolic meaning to the central subject of an ongoing conflict. As international intervention in Afghanistan continues, opium production has reached record-breaking heights, with this single country now producing 90% of the world's total supply (utterly dwarfing global licit supply). Meanwhile, the world suffers a global opiate shortage(pdf), Canada's heroin maintenance project is threatened by politics, and the National Review of Medicine suggests that prescription opiates are far more dangerous than the "usual suspects".
geopolitics of opium 2007
The amount of Afghan land used for growing opium is now larger than the combined total under coca cultivation in Latin America - Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. No other country has produced narcotics on such a deadly scale since China in the 19 th century. Opium in Afghanistan: Eradicate or subsidize? [more inside]
The geopolitics of opium
So how's the War on Drugs proceeding in Afghanistan? Barry McCaffrey, former drug czar, trumpets, "Opium production has been dramatically slashed by 48% just in the past year[2005].". Oops, actually that's the acreage of opium cultivation; production went down by only 10%, due to increased yields. In any case, that's so last year. Instead of the socially detrimental policy of poppy eradication, wouldn't it be preferable to allow licensing of poppies for legitimate medical needs? The Afghan farmers agree, but some think the idea is flawed.
Lawless Iraq is 'key drug route'
Lawless Iraq is 'key drug route' Drug smugglers exploiting internal chaos in Iraq have turned the country into a transit route for Afghan heroin, an influential drug agency says.

Crosby's: Grandma's Country Pie
13 comments
mildly humorous. but are they advertising to women who cook? or teenaged boys?
I guess these are aimed at being double-entendres... I'm not sure they're good enough to really cut the mustard -- maybe I'm wrong, though I'd try and test it -- get some people to take a look without them knowing they're 'critiquing' and watch them to see if it raises a smile or something.
I do think the idea 'Bake it like Grandma' can work pretty well with other concepts, though.
Agency's not game to put their name to this?

A paradox for supertask decision makers

I consider two puzzles in which an agent undergoes a sequence of decision problems. In both cases it is possible to respond rationally to any given problem yet it is impossible to respond rationally to every problem in the sequence, even though the choices are independent. In particular, although it might be a requirement of rationality that one must respond in a certain way at each point in the sequence, it seems it cannot be a requirement to respond as such at every point for that would be to require the impossible.

Santa Barbara Shooter Left Behind a Collection of Disturbing Videos
22-year-old Elliot Rodger described some of his motives on his YouTube channel.
On Friday night, University of California, Santa Barbara student Elliot Rodger went on a drive-by shooting rampage in a neighborhood near his school, killing six people and wounding seven others. He was soon found dead in his crashed BMW, either from a self-inflicted gunshot wound or one he sustained during an earlier shootout with the police. On Saturday afternoon, a lawyer for Rodger's father, The Hunger Games assistant director Peter Rodger, released a statement confirming that that the 22-year-old was responsible for the shooting and extending condolences to the victims' families. Attorney Alan Shifman also revealed that the Rodger family had called the police a few weeks ago to express concern about videos on Elliot's YouTube channel "regarding suicide and the killing of people."
Shifman added that the police interviewed Rodger. While they noted that the young man "didn't have a lot of friends" or a girlfriend, they supposedly found him to be a "perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human." The aforementioned videos — a number of which Rodger posted to a YouTube channel in the last week or so — tell a more complicated story.
The most recent and upsetting clip has already been taken down (though you can see it here.) In that video, Rodger promises a "day of retribution" for his "existence of loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires, all because girls have never been attracted to me." "I'll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you," he says later. "If I can't have you girls, I will destroy you." Rodger's other videos follow the same themes — loneliness, isolation, anger, and misogyny. Though Rodger was clearly suffering from mental illness, his rage at women for rejecting him is still profoundly disturbing, especially because his language (including the use of the term "alpha male") and YouTube subscriptions seem to show that his warped perspective was influenced by the pick-up artist and men's rights communities.
Here, Rodger visits a golf course and says, "This world is such a beautiful place. It's such a tragedy that I had to live such a pathetic life in it, all because of the cruelty of humanity and women."
In this video, Rodger sits on the balcony at his father's house and listens to kids playing. "When you're a kid you don't have to worry about things like being attractive or how many girls like you. No one has unfair advantages," he says. "Then, when you hit puberty, your life either becomes heaven on earth or a living hell. It all depends on how many girls like you, or if girls like you at all. My life turned into a living hell. No girls like me, and I hate them all for it."
"I don't know why you girls are so repulsed by me. I do everything I can to appear attractive to you. I dress nice, I am sophisticated, I am magnificent. I have a nice car, a BMW ... I am polite. I am the ultimate gentleman. And yet, you girls never give me a chance. I don't know why," Rodger says while standing outside. "I feel so invisible as I walk through my college. Your revealing shorts, your cascading blonde hair, your pretty faces. I want one for a girlfriend ... I deserve girls much more than all those slobs."
The rest of Rodger's videos are here.

I want to be able to parse my date based on the dd-MM-yyyy in flash however I can't quite get it.
Here is my code:
var arrivalDate = String(arrivalDateDay.text)+String(arrivalDateMonth.text)+String(arrivalDateYear.text);
arrivalDate = Date.parse(Number(arrivalDate));
The first trace will show the date like "ddMMyyyy", but after the parse I simply get NaN. I also tried trace(Number(arrivalDate));]
The reason why I want to be able to parse the date is so I can calculate the number of days apart from two dates.
Thanks, Peter

Most urologists must deal with the problems encountered in the management of bladder neoplasms, and too often frustration and disappointment are parts of that experience. As with many other diseases fraught with treatment dilemma, there is a voluminous amount of literature on the subject of bladder tumors, some wheat, and some chaff. Therefore, it would seem that a project designed to bring together and sift available information would be most worthwhile.
The six contributors to the present volume have in reality written a symposium that attempts to summarize present knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of the bladder. In general, the book succeeds in its purpose.
Appropriately, after a brief preface, the first of six sections deals with the pathological aspects of bladder tumors. A general classification is offered, followed by the now clinically oriented classifications. Since 90% to 95% of all bladder tumors are epithelial the greater

Happy 50th birthday to the city of Southampton!
Monday 24 February marks the 50th anniversary of Southampton being awarded city status by royal charter. Southampton City Council have organised events to mark the anniversary, but we're marking the celebration with some maps.
Walk of the week: Go! Rhinos Southampton city trail
Length of route:
Approx 2.5-3 miles.
Starting point:
SU418016, Town Quay car park is closest, this is a pay car park.
Suitable for:
OS OpenSpace interactive map of the Go! Rhinos trail
Download our OS MapFinder app and record the route
Use OS getamap to plot the route yourself
For a great walk for all the family this summer, with the added bonus of spotting 32 rhinos, why not try this stroll around Southampton city centre? It's no more than 3 miles depending on the route you follow and there are numerous places to stop and explore along the way, so it could last anywhere from 40 minutes to several hours.
The Go! Rhino trail is in Southampton between 13 July and 22 September 2013 and we've sponsored one of the rhinos. If you spot our Rhinoseros while you're on the trail, tweet us a photo and we'll enter you into a draw for a pair of Marwell Wildlife tickets.
If you follow the rhinos in their order on the map, you'll be starting from Town Quay, a lovely spot to watch the ferries and cruise liners coming in and out of Southampton Water. The route then takes you into the old town of Southampton where you can walk along the historic walls and visit the Wool House and Tudor House museums too.
When you make it to rhino number 8, you'll be outside the lovely ruins of Holy Rood Church. One of the original five churches serving the old walled town of Southampton the church was destroyed by bombing during the blitz in November 1940. As you head along the High Street to numbers 9 and 10, you'll come to the Bargate, still standing amongst the modern town centre buildings.
Take the rhino trail in Southampton this summer – and win Marwell Wildlife tickets
In celebration of its 40th anniversary this year, Hampshire's Marwell Wildlife has brought a world-class mass public art event to Southampton.
A herd of sponsored rhino sculptures have been placed at various locations across the city centre to form a rhino trail. The Go! Rhinos trail launched on Saturday in the city and is available over a 10-week period this summer.
The rhinos were decorated by local professional artists, providing a unique design on each piece – we're extremely proud of our RhinOSeros by Artsim, now standing at the corner of Havelock and City Centre Roads. As a sponsor, we also have a small rhino, also decorated by Artsim, which has pride of place at our head office.
As well as providing the opportunity to showcase local artistic talent, the event encourages outdoors exploration, whilst raising significant funds for local charities; Marwell Wildlife, The Rose Road Association and Wessex Heartbeat's High 5 Appeal.We've been involved in a variety of ways. As well as sponsoring one of the rhinos we produced the official Southampton trail map and we've plotted the locations of the rhinos online using OS OpenSpace data.
Take a look at the rhinos on our map and if you're in the city, why not visit the rhinos? If you tweet us a picture of you with our rhino by Friday 2 August to @OrdnanceSurvey, we'll enter you into a prize draw for a pair of Marwell Wildlife tickets, which must be used before 15 October 2013.

Aerial imagery helps define local change
There can't be many people who failed to notice the coverage in the media about the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. What was a horrific event, especially for people local to us here in Southampton, has sparked world-wide interest and a fascination about how the 'unsinkable' ship could be sunk so easily with the loss of so many lives.
A new museum about the Titanic and the impact it had on Southampton opened this week. The Sea City Museum run by Southampton City Council was opened by Olympic rower James Cracknell and documents the impact of the sinking of the ship with a host of interactive displays as well as a rather macabre historic map showing where people who died on board the Titanic had lived in Southampton before boarding the ship.

A guest post by Ordnance Survey's Richard Cully
I tend to go with the widely held thought that everywhere 'else' is interesting to visit.
Across the globe, residents of majestic mountain sides and daily viewers of palm fringed beaches all spend hours planning and then travelling somewhere 'different' for leisure and pleasure.
The landscape within walking distance of my home in Southampton is not normally renowned for its majesty and elegance, but on a chilly day with a slightly too-bright sun in my late morning eyes I set off from Woolston and walked the Solent Way to Hamble. Using the OS Explorer Map – OL22 which is more normally used for its New Forest coverage, I set off.
Once the home of the Vosper Thornycroft shipyard, a large waterside swathe of Woolston is now named Centenary Quay and is being refurbished with smart housing, retail and community improvements which when finished is promised to lift the area and show a shiny new face to the long established Ocean Village across the River Itchen.
Five minutes walk from home and the waterfront is heralded by the familiar mast clanging chimes of the sailing club and my equally familiar question to myself – how do the people in the nearby houses put up with the racket? The path here is wide and welcoming and follows the original plan of the road to Netley which had been re-routed many decades before to allow the building of a now vanished naval supply depot. Cyclists, dog walkers and kite flyers love the breezy open space and helpful sign boards inform about the wild birds viewable on Southampton Water. The beach of shingle widens significantly into bird-attracting mud at low tide and further along the walk at the end of Weston Shore I watched fascinated as gulls stood silently eyeing an entire murder of crows in a slightly unsettling tableaux at the shingled fringes of ancient Westwood.
Weston Shore, always popular for viewing ships is backed with a long promenade, some lovingly refurbished (and lovingly re-vandalised) Art Deco shelters and several residential towers which rise through trees to gain what must be fantastic and distant views of the New Forest. Having re-joined the main road, it seems the shore is an always popular place to park and watch the water. Even on the coldest day there is an appetite for ice cream at the seaside and the man in the van had a queue at what seemed like minus 2….
Mapping experts set to arrive in Southampton
Senior representatives and leaders from mapping organisations from across the world are about to descend on Southampton next week.
They're here for the The Cambridge Conference – so named because of its historic ties to the city – which this year is taking place at our new head office in Southampton. It is a unique occasion, giving top international experts the chance to discuss developments in mapping, changes in technology and issues of global importance.
Opening the new nursery at Adanac Park
We have had a nursery at Ordnance Survey for many years, providing care for the children of our staff. It's a fantastic resource which makes coming back to work much easier for many parents and it's always been on site which means the children aren't too far away.
When we started making plans for our new building, the nursery provision was also included and last night our Director of HR, Jan Hutchinson, formally opened the new facility.
Catering for 45 children aged from 3 months to school age, the new nursery is outstanding, with an open plan feel and outside play area with its own treehouse. The nursery staff have made it an inviting, friendly and happy environment in which the children are flourishing.
Mapping the Southampton Blitz 70 years on
This year is the 70th anniversary of the Blitz, and whilst for some people the word might be almost synonymous with the bombing of London, many other towns and cities across the country also suffered terribly from Luftwaffe attacks.
One of those was Southampton. As an important dockyard on the south coast of England, home of the Supermarine factory and birthplace of the Spitfire, it was a prime target.
During the nights of 30 November and 1 December 1940, the Southampton Blitz reached its climax as the city came under sustained attack. Hundreds of tonnes of bombs were dropped during the two nights, whilst on 30 November alone some 634 individual properties were left ablaze – including our then head office on London Road.
A report by the Ministry of Food describes how the resulting destruction "equalled anything so far in aerial attack on this country" but even so, it is very hard to now comprehend the scale of the damage, let alone the impact it had on the people who lived through it.
So with the help of The National Archives and Southampton City Council, we've built a map using OS OpenSpace that pinpoints where 712 of the bombs fell based on records from the time. We hope that by seeing the bomb sites overlaid on modern mapping, it will help people better relate to the scale of the damage and the courage and suffering of those who lived through it.
You can clearly see the heavy concentration of direct hits around the docks and industrial areas in Woolston and Itchen, as well as the city centre itself.
We've also included images of some of the original documents from 1940 that recount the raids and damage that was done. Within them you can read about how our offices were destroyed; the fear for patients in South Hants Hospital; the affect the raids had on food supplies; and a report by a man working for Southern Railway who travelled from Salisbury to Southampton during the raid.
To read them, simply click on the green markers shown on the map, whilst the red markers indicate each bomb impact site. We hope you find it interesting – I certainly found the research fascinating.
In terms of the damage to the Ordnance Survey offices, thankfully no one was killed, but many valuable documents were destroyed including height survey records; drawings for the New Popular One Inch map series and almost all Object Name Books, which recorded the place and feature names published on the maps of England and Wales.
Perhaps the most precious object lost was the 3 foot Theodolite of 1787 made by Jesse Ramsden and used in the scientific triangulation survey from the Greenwich Observatory to the Kent Coast in 1787-88 by Major General William Roy – the precursor to the founding of Ordnance Survey in 1791.
Tonight, Ordnance Survey staff will be at the commemorative service at St Mary's Church, Southampton, a place which was gutted by fire during the Blitz, to remember the events of 1940 and those who gave their lives for our freedom.
UPDATE: Quite a few people have asked me to make a version of the map available for download, so here it is. It should be high enough resolution to be enlarged to around A2 size.
Celebrating a little corner of the great outdoors
Yesterday I had the pleasure of stretching my legs away from the office for a short time to celebrate a local community success story.
Every member of staff at Ordnance Survey has the option to take a day a year to volunteer for a worthy cause and back in 2005 a group chose to help clear a disused footpath near our Southampton offices.
This was part of the Lordsdale Greenway project, part of a wider scheme to create attractive green spaces for local people near where they live.

A blog I've recently taken over (part of a website in development) has just suddenly completely lost its (albeit default) "look" leaving nothing but barebones ugly text all across the page.
None of the files have been tampered with, other than my changing the name of the directory from /wp to /blog (which didn't make the style disappear - it stayed there for a couple of days after doing that.
What could have caused this and how do I fix it?
Thanks for any help

So Harry Potter gets killed? Like any of us actually care.
Jesus titty fucking Christ, I didn't realize they were all still alive. How many fucking books do they need?
"You're a news reporter, why don't you report on something important like Iraq? You suck." Ha! That was my favorite comment on that Captain America post and I forgot all about it. It pretty much applies to this as well.
Hagrid doesn't die.
His half-brother does.
And it turns out that Voldemort is Harry's dad's former roommate and it all started with a feud over who could eat the most at a food competition.
I was shocked, let me tell you ...
by the way, your "Post" button says " Post " on it in Firefox, lusers.
Its a harsh lesson learned... there is no escaping a cross media marketing blitz in America. Its like fishing in a barrel for the ad execs; especial a media blitz propelled by the devout fan base. The outrage is a 'cha-ching' of the cash register.
Awww...poor Jonah. People point out that he's an asshole for possibly spoiling people and he responds all indignant like. Who gives a fuck if you think we're nerds? Certainly not us. And no shit you haven't read a single Harry Potter book, or you wouldn't be being such a prick about it.
Who said they weren't ever coming to The Slog again? All I read were people saying they weren't coming back until Sunday when the book comes out.
Man, lots of times comic book publishers will spoil deaths of characters to boost sales. It's sort of how the single issue stuff works.
No one has to do that to boost Harry Potter sales, and most people who read them don't want them spoiled. And after all the shit with the last one, I'm a little surprised to see stuff here.
Though, you guys do really suck with geeky type stuff, so maybe I shouldn't be shocked at this.
I don't begrudge people reading and sharing spoilers. Whatever--their call.
However, like any work of fiction with a suspense/mystery element, it's more fun if you don't know what'll happen. Most of the time, that happens by default--nobody knew, ten minutes into The Sixth Sense, that Bruce Willis's character was already dead, because it wasn't plastered all over the damned internet. You can't argue that the movie wouldn't have been as fun if you already knew.
Harry Potter, however? I've stopped reading most of my regular sites because one has to actively dodge spoilers, and I don't want the story spoiled for me. I'm not an "insane Harry Potter nerd," I just prefer an actual story over a summary of plot points. I've been waiting two years and I don't mind waiting 48 more hours. Really.
It's not the existence of spoilers that are dickish, it's people posting them places where they don't belong or can't be knowingly avoided. I was hoping that the Sloggers would either deign themselves above the Let's Spoil Harry Potter thang, or actually be above it. Ah well. I guess I'm off Slog until after this weekend too--and I usually like you people.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure Hagrid does die. But man, I might have to start avoiding the web...
Another spoiler: At the end of Slog, everybody dies, too.
Mayor Quinby: "Er, um at the end of the Crying Game, that chick was really a man!"
Crowd: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Wooo! Looks like I riled JessB!
What happens after Friday night when we all find out Harry lives? (I don't know either. I am honestly speculating ... just like millions of fans have done so for YEARS, and just as I think Jonah did this morning.)
Does Jonah get an "apology" supply of deep-fried, bacon-wrapped Chocolate Frogs?
Captain America isn't dead you heartless bastard.
*snickers* I was going to say we riled you considering you made a follow-up post to bitch about us.
No, I did the follow-up post to point out humorless Potter fans appear to be.
Sorry, I'll be at a going away party for a friend going to Zambia to set up TB clinics, so I'll have to wait to read the new Potter until Sunday.
I'll spoil it. Fuck it. Hagrid does not die. He remains at Hog.
Suck that, biatch [sic]! Ooh-wOW!
I'm almost positive Hagrid dies...but I'm afraid one of the kids will die, or the Weasley parents, which will SUCK. I still haven't gotten over Dumbledore!
Congrats on the Slate link Jonah, now thousands of people (instead of the 14 people who stumle across the Stanger's wesite while searching for alternate means of masturbation) will know what a heartless bastard you are.
Thanks Ozy,
I had no idea I'd been linked.
Here's some rad Harry Potter news.
hagrid doesn't die, harry doesn't die.
six characters die, it's fairly obvious that Voldemort will be one of them.
rest in peace, ron weasley.

Here's a Chapter From My Favorite Business Book
The image you are trying to upload is either too big or is an unacceptable format. Please upload a .jpg or .png image that is under 25MB.
Business Adventures, by John Brooks, is the best business book I've ever read. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find. The book went out of print in the early 1970s. The original publisher is out of business, and Brooks died in 1993. But his family kindly agreed to provide one chapter as a free e-book, which you can download below.
"Xerox Xerox Xerox Xerox," which originally appeared in the April 1, 1967 issue of The New Yorker, demonstrates all the strengths that made Brooks such a special writer: his intellect, his ability to see the big picture, and his sense of humor. I hope you'll check it out:
In addition to this free chapter, the full version of Business Adventures was recently released by a new publisher as an e-book. You can buy it at many retailers' websites.
As I wrote in my full review, Warren Buffett first recommended this book to me in 1991, shortly after we first met. He loaned me his copy and we had a lot of fun talking about what we had learned from it. So it's great to be able to share this neglected classic with the wider audience that it deserves.
Read previous versions of the Annual Letter
A compelling case for how energy made us who we are.
The novel that rekindled my love for sci-fi.
The Power to Compete has smart ideas about revitalizing the country's economy.
Melinda and I spent weeks talking about this history of the human race.
Looking back at 2013, I wanted to share a different kind of list.
This is my personal blog, where I share about the people I meet, the books I'm reading, and what I'm learning. I hope that you'll join the conversation.

Career Services:
I have only just started working with the career services department but so far all has been well. They have been keeping me updated with my externship issues and helping me with my resume.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Everything was fantastic! I had a great financial aid adviser who helped me every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Campus Resources:
I only visit the campus to test out of my clinicals. They are not as well equipped as I would have wanted it to be. But the teachers and other students were great!
Academic Flexibility:
My experience with my school has been amazing. I am a stay at home mother and my husband is in the Army and currently deployed to Afghanistan. Even with all of these things my school has been very accommodating to all of my needs. They always answer the phone with a great attitude. Anyone that you work with gets back to you very quickly with whatever issue that you have.
Campus Resources:
The computers are great and we can also use it for our personal study times or job searches. As long as it's used for anything professional. The printers are also free printing. Any help needed, it is fine to ask the staff and they will be willing to help.
Academic Experience:
There's not very many of us which makes it interesting. Workload is reasonable. The staff are very helpful finding job availabilities.
Academic Experience:
Registration went by smoothly. The professors keep it interesting with real life experiences and scenarios. We do 10 minute breaks every after 50 minutes and it is very helpful in staying attentive.
Campus Resources:
We have a gym also used for the body training classes and a pretty big computer lab.
Student Body:
It is very diverse. We just had a door decorating Christmas Contest and everyone participated and were healthy competitive.
Overall Experience:
I love the presence of the students, staff, and instructors. Everyone is friendly. Even when my body gets tired the classes are just interesting to me and the way the instructor teaches I would do anything to stay awake.

Overall Experience:
The flexibility of the program allowed me to work during the day, go to school at night, and still learn from great instructors. I'm now a few months away from graduation!
Academic Experience:
A lot of changes makes for a stressful enviorment.
Academic Experience:
While things are improving I do not feel that they are improving fast enough.
Academic Flexibility:
Since the school is relatively small, each course is only assigned with two instructors. The two I've had are great, and the rest of the administrative faculty has been terrific to work with. Since I've been there though almost the entire faculty, except three or four, has been replaced. There was also major construction going on, and at the beginning of the main courses - such as dental assisting - the students who don't know anything about teeth jump straight into what other students already have knowledge in. So it's kind of like playing catch up for the new students rather than learning the A&P of main course. Other than that it gets easier once you get settled in and get familiar, as long as you make sure you ask questions if you don't understand anything.
Career Services:
Job Prospects – Your counselor helps you with your resume. They help you find a your first job in your field.
Academic Experience:
Professors Not Professional. They actually have a number of programs to offer, and it is all very enticing, but once you get to your ONE class, with the same teacher and sit in there for 4-6 hours each day, it gets boring. I wonder if these professors even have a teaching degree because in my experience, all my teacher did was read from the book. She was not a good public speaker, and was very unprofessional. Lots of people have complained about her; nothing has been done. Overall very disappointing. I am withdrawing from the school.
