Tonight's final debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney has competition.
Besides MNF, there is Game 7 of the MLB playoffs pitting the St. Louis Cardinals vs. the San Francisco Giants.
Debate starts at 9 p.m. This is it. The final one before the Nov. 6 election.
Be sure to let us know what you think after the debate. Or during. Are you still undecided, ready to go to the polls, or ready for it all to be over?

Nobody likes change. It is not always a lot of fun.
But we're here as a community newspaper and website to engage readers and to embrace differences in opinion.
Bluffton Today launched more than seven years as ago as a community website and newspaper. It still is that place today.
We want interaction and dialogue.
I specifically am interested in public education, economic development, workforce development, health care and transportation.
These are topics that I would love to see debated and dissected online.
What does Bluffton need to do to improve?

I have not blogged in more than six months. For that, I apologize.
What I envisioned for our website was a place for people to come together and to engage with us and each other to make our community a better place. I am still hopeful for that outcome because I try to be hopeful and optimistic, but I am a realist. People are human.
What are our issues? Besides immigration that seems to become the theme of every thread here, do we care about education, jobs, a better quality of life or what?

There's a lot of talk about the casino-resort proposed for Hardeeville.
People are either speaking out against it or strongly supporting it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of in between.
We know the project requires the governor's approval. But I wonder if people would go to the polls if it were to appear on the ballot.
My questions:
- Do you think the issue of casinos in the state of South Carolina should be something voters decide?
- Would you go to the polls to cast your vote on the proposal?

Big debate tonight.
Huge TV audience and lots at stake.
Weigh in and tell us what you think.
A little more than a month and it will all be over - at least the campaigning.
Social media been buzzing since lunchtime. Debate parties have become the new Super Bowl parties. That says a lot!

What are the retailers or businesses you'd like to see come to Bluffton?
And not to take away from the existing locally-owned and operated stores and businesses, but what's on our wish list?
I hear a Kohl's would be welcome. A Dunkin Donuts closer to Bluffton, a Trader Joes's, Whole Foods and few more places that offer craft beer.
The one biggie that has been mentioned is an aquatic center in Bluffton.
What's on your list? Do you drive to Savannah or Beaufort for something we should have in our own backyard?

It's a Tuesday.
We're busy prepping pages for Wednesday's paper.
A sneak peek:
- National Signing Day is Wednesday. Find out where some of our local athletes will sign letters of intent to play college football.
- Promenade getting more businesses? A Wednesday evening meeting at Town Hall will be the scene for the Historic Preservation Commission to hear requests for two new commercial buildings.
- Sue Ade gives you a few Super Bowl recipes to whet your appetite for the food and maybe the Big Game.

It's Tuesday and tonight is the next debate in the race for president.
Who is ready?
Like the last time, please weigh in and tell us what you think.
There are just three weeks left until Election Day. Early voting has started in many states.
Let's get a good debate about the debate going right here. Keep it civil, relatively friendly and share your thoughts.

It's a rainy day in Bluffton.
I am just back in town after an extra long weekend in Wisconsin to see my youngest nephew and Godson graduate from high school. I am happy to report the weather in Wisconsin was similar to that of a typical June day in Bluffton. Sunny, hot and humid.
The talk of the town in Madison of course was about Gov. Scott Walker winning the recall on June 5 after a year of intense pressure and mounting efforts to oust him.
Since I was in Madison, the newspaper there had full accounts of the expense of this recall effort.

Hey y'all ...
We're wondering what you think the top stories of 2011 were. They don't have to be about bad things. Good news is just fine with us.
If you were compiling a list of the Top 10 stories of 2011 what would you put on it.
It's been a busy year and there are plenty of good stories to reflect on. Tell me what you think are some of them.
Post your ideas here, shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or post them on our BT Facebook page.

With college basketball's early-signing period just over two months away, it is time to assess the University of Michigan's competition for some of the most coveted recruits across the country.
The Wolverines already have power forward Ricky Doyle and small forward Austin Hatch in the fold for their class of 2014, but they are hoping to close out their newcomers with a pair of highly ranked prospects. After whiffing on 4-star standout Trevon Bluiett and losing some ground on a couple of top targets, there has been a bit of angst among the Maize and Blue faithful.
Six targets remain on the Michigan recruiting board. By the time the calendar turns to November, though, things should be all wrapped up.

Occupy Portland N17
Friday, November 18, 2011 12:08 AM
PORTLAND, OREGON -- November 17, 2011 -- A police officer deployed pepper spray at SW Yamhill, between the JP Morgan Chase bank and Pioneer Courthouse Square. The photo was taken from the southeast corner of the square, looking toward the intersection of 6th and Yamhill after a day of marching through downtown Portland, Ore., by Occupy Portland participants. People gathered on the east side of the Steel bridge earlier in the morning to demonstrate in support of the Occupy movement, on the day known as N17. Several people were arrested and the march continued over the lower span of the bridge into downtown, where a rally was planned. Later in the day people were arrested in a Wells Fargo branch downtown. Photo by Randy L. Rasmussen/The Oregonian

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions do not need to worry about the Tennessee Titans, right?
Detroit will travel and play against Tennessee on Sunday, and one area of concern is avoiding a "trap" game this weekend. The Titans are currently 0-2, but still have plenty of weapons that cannot be overlooked.
Welcome back to MLive.com's weekly Lions feature. In advance of each game, we identify the Lions' "Issue of the Week" and give our insight as to how it might play out.
And we welcome feedback from you, the reader, with some of the best comments slated to be used in an item later this week.
Anwar Richardson
The Tennessee Titans are in total disarray.
Titans running back Chris Johnson recently threw his teammates under the bus, which is never a good sign. That was interesting to hear considering Johnson has been nothing but a bust since holding out and receiving a new contract last year.
Receiver Kenny Britt is still recovering from last year's ACL and MCL injury, while receiver Nate Washington is improving from his leg contusion. Then there is quarterback Jake Locker, a young passer learning how to succeed in the NFL.
Last week, the Arizona Cardinals knocked off New England, and Detroit must avoid that same letdown. Detroit cannot allow Johnson to become the league's top running back again, and this is not the time for Britt to dominant the Lions' secondary.
Justin Rogers
Since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, only five teams have started the season 0-3 and recovered to qualify for the postseason. The last team to do so was the Buffalo Bills in 1998. For that reason, the Titans will essentially be playing for their playoff lives on Sunday, one year after finishing 9-7.
The Titans are off to a putrid start, getting outscored by a combined 50 points in losses to New England and San Diego. Star running back Chris Johnson has especially struggled. Through two games he has just 21 yards on 19 carries.
The Lions simply can't let the Titans get back to their feet this week. Instead, they need to kick them while they're down by not allowing Johnson to get going and getting consistent pressure on second-year quarterback Jake Locker.
Reader response
Now, it's your turn to speak up in the comments section below. Can Detroit avoid a letdown against Tennessee? Does Chris Johnson have anything left in the tank? Can Detroit rebound from its disappointing loss against the San Francisco 49ers? Will quarterback Matthew Stafford play like he did in 2011?

Last October's 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth unleashed a flurry of performances of the Verdi Requiem that hasn't subsided. This most operatic of Requiems concludes the 2014 Oregon Bach Festival Sunday in Eugene.
What makes this performance especially tantalizing is its young but proven solo quartet: soprano Tamara Wilson, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, tenor Russell Thomas, all Americans, and Chinese bass-baritone Shenyang. Each has won a major competition: Wilson and Thomas were winners of Barcelona's Francisco Viñas Competition and sing Verdi roles internationally. Barton and Shenyang won the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. Barton, also a 2007 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions winner, triumphed as Adalgisa opposite Angela Meade's "Norma" at the Met last October.
Festival artistic director Matthew Halls will conduct the OBF Orchestra and a large chorus assembled from the Berwick Chorus of the OBF, the UO Chamber Choir and the Stangeland Family Youth Choral Academy.
Verdi composed the Requiem in response to the 1873 death of Alessandro Manzoni, patriot and author of the great Italian novel "I Promessi Sposi" ("The Betrothed"). For its final section, Verdi revised the "Libera me" that was his contribution to a 13-composer Requiem Mass intended to honor Rossini after his 1868 death. That project fell through, and the "Messa per Rossini" was not performed until 1988, premiered by none other than former Oregon Bach Festival artistic director Helmuth Rilling. In 2001, the 100th anniversary of Verdi's death, Rilling opened the festival with the "Messa per Rossini" and closed it with the Verdi Requiem.
From its first performance in 1874, many found the Requiem too passionate for a properly ecclesiastical work. "Verdi's best opera" was one wisecrack. Verdi was no believer, and his Requiem is less consolatory than the other great 19th-century Requiems, those of Berlioz, Brahms (no believer either) and Fauré.
In the Requiem, Verdi pays tribute to the Italian polyphonic tradition of Palestrina and others with an a cappella passage early in the opening "Requiem" section and two large-scale fugues, in the "Sanctus" and in the second half of the closing "Libera me." The motif that begins the theme of the second fugue is an exact inversion of that of the first.
Verdi's terrifying, apocalyptic vision of Judgment Day in the "Dies irae" includes arresting bass-drum thwacks and thrilling trumpet fanfares. The section ends with a "Lacrymosa" to music Verdi recycled from "Don Carlos."
The best-known passage of the Requiem probably is the tenor solo "Ingemisco" in the "Dies irae." The best-loved section may be the "Offertorio" for the four soloists, often encored at early performances.

First: Think Indie Digital launches tomorrow. This launch has been a long time coming and we are stoked that the big day is finally upon us. If you gotta buy an MP3 then we want you to do it from us. What's best is that you can buy said files from the record store of your choice, enabling you to still shop digitally and locally. It's all the convenience and twice the snark... Just how we like it.
Second: We're still booking NARM meetings, but slots are filling up. Please hit me up if you wanna get together. Think we've got the big guys locked down, but we're still looking to talk to any indies that are gonna be in attendance. Know anybody from Pandora? We'd like to be in touch.
Thirdly: Melanie Nipper (AKA JunketGrrl) thought it'd be important for me to mention this:
"We need to remind the labels and distributors on the chart today that they need to be talking with John Weston at Streetpulse. Any indie exclusives should be registered with him so that we can keep track of the indie sales (much more accurate than Soundscan as a ton of the indies do not even report to Soundscan). The RSD sales numbers were much lower than they should've been because John generally gets all of the info for titles from my solicitations. Since a bunch of RSD titles were direct exclusives from label to store, John didn't have info to track those particular sales (Gaslight Anthem, Jesus Lizard, etc..)."
Last, but not least: We at CIMS cannot begin to express how heavy our collective heart is over the loss of Ryko Distribution. While we're pleased that Ryko's many specialized labels will find a home at ADA, to loose that company isn't like loosing a family member as much as it is an ENTIRE FAMILY -- and since they would consider anyone who took the time to visit their annual convention in New Orleans as part of that family, I can personally say that a tiny piece of several of you is now missing. Please keep those folks in your thoughts. They are some of the best. RIP.

Thanks sbhikes!
These two podcasts explain everything. Explains Paleobird's experiences. Explains mine. Even explains Leida's. If you are a woman, these two have the answers. They aren't pretty, but they are honest.
27: Jenny Ruhl | Overcoming The Problems With A Low-Carb Diet | Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts
23: Long-Term Stalls & Weight Gain Even On A Well-Formulated Low-Carb Diet | Dr. Stephen Phinney | Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
Thanks sbhikes!
Start Weight: 63.6kg/140lbs
Goal Weight: 54kg/118lbs
can you summarise the podcasts as i cant download something that big or is there somewhere on the net there is a transcript? from absolute personal experience, it is how much i eat that effects my weight. i am female and 47 too. last time i injured my ankle and couldnt walk properly, i lay in bed for something wild like 10 days ( other than getting up to send the kids to school and back ) and ate stuff all and the weight fell off. if i eat heaps and snack lots, even if i exercise heaps, i still put on weight. re: ketosis, i am just over 2 weeks of trying. no sugar, no grains and no carbs other than non starchy veges. i still feel very lack lustre. i am playing with ditching caffeine as well which could well be throwing a spanner in the works as last time i did that, i had to go to bed at about 7pm for 2 weeks solid! what does worry me tho is the fact i feel cold. i still freak about the thyroid thing. i have been trying to eat way more seafood as that piece of the low carb thyroid theory makes total sense to me.
sole water and stir a teaspoon into a glass of water when I feel any symptoms at all. I can't stress how important including regular salt is and how much it helps.
My Journal
I wish there were transcripts as I hate listening to podcasts with a passion. But basically the takeaway message is:
- If you are female, especially if you are female and old, low carb works for weight loss because the appetite control helps you eat less.
- If you want to lose weight, you have to eat less.
- Count calories, get a food scale and weigh and measure everything. You will be very surprised how small a serving actually is.
- If you are old, you can't eat nearly as much food as a young person can.
- If you want to lose that last 20lbs you may have to live the rest of your life on a strict diet and endure a lot of hunger.
- There are many people for whom weight loss beyond a certain point is not possible. Those people should revise their goals to something more realistic.
- There actually are other metabolic things going on for a lot of people. Sometimes you need to see a doctor and yes, it's hard to find one who can truly help you.
- Also there is a lot that researchers simply do not know yet about metabolism. It may be that nobody can help you yet.
- If you lost a bunch of weight and kept it off, that's a huge victory. You are already in the top 2% or something of people who've lost weight if you've been able to keep it off for 6 months or a year. Enjoy that success. It's actually a huge success.
- Or maybe your success is you've gotten off all your meds, fixed your diabetes, can do things you couldn't do before. That's also huge.
- Most people have unrealistic ideas of success and that is usually encouraged by all diet books (including Mark's) otherwise they would not be able to sell the books (or probably get them published.)
- The dirty little secret nobody ever tells you is that your metabolism actually slows down with exercise (from 5% to 15% slow down).
- You never burn off as many calories as you think with exercise.
Long story short: Calories matter.

Nice summary, thanks sbhikes
Started Feb 18 2011
Tried basic primal and almost everything else in pursuit of IBS control, mood stability, and weight loss.
Journalling here
the times in life when i have been real lean as a pose to "healthy" weight, i have not felt hungry. i just didnt eat between meals. or notice i wasnt eating between meals. i definitely was not white knuckling anything and i get fat easily. i find i eat more when i obsess about my weight and nutrition, whereas when i have something else to do, i am fine. i also have read that exercise keeps your metabolic rate from dropping as fast over the years. if you think about it, till very recently, most people would have been doing what we class as exercise all day. the more i read, the more i get confused lol and also, why were fat old people rare when i was a kid. fat kids too were the curiosity. not the norm like they are now.If you want to lose that last 20lbs you may have to live the rest of your life on a strict diet and endure a lot of hunger.
I think what Mark says about exercise is very important. He stresses the fact that too much cardio and too much time per day/week of exercise can cause you to stall or even gain weight. Less can be more. People have been brainwashed into thinking that if 20 minutes of exercise makes you more insulin sensitive and you burn some calories, two hours must be even better. NOT! I have mentioned the following elsewhere , so pardon me if I sound like an ad, but in June I started an exercise program called T-Tapp, originated by Teresa Tapp. It is based on spinal alignment and moving more than one muscle group at a time in ways that exercise the muscle at both the origin and the insertion. It is supposed to give you long, lean muscles with good density rather than bulk. It can debulk muscles if you have areas you want to slim down. The exercises appear easy but if you are using correct form you will be sore and sweating. I do 15-20 minutes a day five or six days a week and it is helping me rehab bad joints as well as lose inches. I am totally sold on this program as the smartest and most effective way to exercise.
I just discovered a yummy and satisfying breakfast. As some of you may know I'm in the hospital with DS (we've been here 2 weeks) but that's another story. Anyway I don't have access to a full kitchen but I do have a fridge in our room and access to a microwave, so I'm learning what I can make with a microwave (I don't have one at home). I had left-over spinach and red onion from a salad last night so I cut up the onion and added butter, about 1 TB., nuked that for about 1 minute and added spinach, nuked it for about 20 seconds. To that I added 1/2 TB cream cheese and 3 slices of bacon. Boy was that good and it really held me! I'm keeping organic cream and butter in our room and that improves just about anything.
It was Phinney who said that exercise slows the metabolism. In their book it says that there are 4 well done studies that demonstrate that the metabolism is slowed 5-15% on average in people doing endurance activities. There are NO poorly done studies that show the opposite and a few poorly done studies that agree.
When I hiked the Pacific Crest people would tell me all the time my metabolism must be raging fast by now. I always knew deep in my bones that it was the exact opposite. That it was now slower. I would tell them this and they'd look confused. Why wouldn't it slow? If it sped up you would never be able to get enough to eat and you would die.
I actually do not believe that having a slow metabolism is an impediment to weight loss at all. A slower metabolism may even indicate better health. It shouldn't matter one bit what my metabolism is doing because if it's slower then I ought to get hungry slower, too.
But pointing out that metabolism slows was one thing brought up in the podcast so I mentioned it.
The other things were explanations for why so many people don't just see the pounds melt off effortlessly without doing anything more than eating low carb. If you are one of the lucky ones who does see the pounds melt off all the way to perfect weight without hardly having to try hard, then you are lucky. If you aren't, then you don't have to beat yourself up wondering what on earth you are doing wrong, why you aren't having the success others are, why are you being so perfect and it's still not working and all that stuff. That's just the way it is for a lot of people. Those people tend to slink off the discussion forums and quit their diets and don't tend to write about their experiences, hence a lot of people will wonder what's wrong with them when actually nothing is wrong. Or worse, like that Griff guy, they get attacked on forums and driven away because the success they had wasn't "good enough" for everybody else.
Weight loss is very very slow for the majority of people. If it's slow for you, you are NORMAL, not damaged, defective or doing it wrong. Just keep going, keep yourself focused on what has been successful, get outside help if you suspect a real metabolic problem and basically stay the course. That was the main point.

May 12, 2009
10:00 a.m.
Harris Hall Main Floor
Commissioner Pete Sorenson presided with Commissioners Bill Dwyer, Bill Fleenor, Rob Handy and Faye Stewart present. County Administrator Jeff Spartz, County Counsel Liane Richardson and Recording Secretary Melissa Zimmer were also present.
a. Announcements
Spartz reported that Chuck Forster, Lane Workforce Partnership, received $2.767 million form the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds: $1.35 million for low income youth and $500,000 for low income adults and $900,000 for dislocated workers.
b. COMMENDATION/for David Crowell.
Spartz commended David Crowell for his past work on the Budget Committee. Sorenson read a letter commending David Crowell.
a. Announcements
a. Announcements
Stewart Bolinger, Performance Auditor, had no report.
Fleenor indicated that over a period of time the Board of Commissioners generate a lot of board orders. He asked if there was any mechanism by which they are tracking the board orders being executed and to what level. He wanted a report back to the Board as to whether these board orders are followed.
Spartz reported they do not have a high mechanized system. He indicated that staff communiates with the appropriate department and they expect the departments to do their follow up work.
Fleenor wanted to establish something more formal. He wanted to make it part of the Good Governance Board Order to make sure they are being implemented.
Dwyer didn't have concerns about the board orders being implemented. He thought they could do a cursory review on a quarterly basis.
Sorenson thought if there was a way to search the board orders it would be helpful. He wanted the County Administrator to check into this to see what other jurisdictions are doing.
Bolinger said he follows up on implementation of the audit reports. He said if they have compliance and there is no issue, he wouldn't say anything but if there was a dispute over implementation, then he would get back to the Board.
Handy requested Spartz and Sorenson to see if they can do follow up. He said since the time he has been on the Board there have been multiple times of confusion within the organization. He wanted to follow up with the auditor if there is a money board order where the money is going. He wanted to make sure the organization understands that there are consequences if direction is not followed.
Fleenor was concerned that when there were board orders from October of last year when they made certain decisions prior to the financial failure of the economy, that some of the financial constraints are not allowing people to implement the board orders. He wanted to be notified in a timely manner if someone is not going to comply.
6. EXECUTIVE SESSION as per ORS 192.660
a. WORK SESSION/Lane County/Emerald People's Utility District Short Mountain Landfill Gas Contract.
Patti Hanson, Waste Management, gave a presentation on the current agreement between Lane County and EPUD. (Copy in file).
Sorenson asked how the agreement was working from EPUD's standpoint.
Frank Lamb, EPUD, reported that over the years it has been a positive project for EPUD but in the most recent years (because they were a pioneer in this area) it doesn't qualify to be renewal. He stated they are in a new contract with Bonneville and they are not eligible to receive a lower rate for the next 20 years. He stated it has backfired and they are facing substantial power costs. He said they have four generators and they are struggling to keep three of them running due to recycling. He said they did not get the gas they had hoped. He said it is still a viable plant and he thought the contract was working.
Fleenor thought the experiment was a success between the public agencies and he encouraged EPUD that as they move into the 21st century to exercise options that will provide a win win for all the constitutents. He wants to see forward progress. He wants to create the best utility possible.
Stewart wanted to look at ways the County could improve positions and turn this into a positive. He indicated that as they move forward there will be a point to do something else. He commented that change is difficult and hopefully some day they will make changes.
Dwyer said this is a work in progress. He stated they have a contract. He asked how willing they were to amend the contract to work together to mazimize the facility with the goal of extending the life of the facility.
Fleenor asked if they could both profit and find out where the common interests are, then to see about perfecting a contract. He asked EPUD if they were willing to work with staff to come up with a proposal.
Lamb stated they were willing to work together.
Handy wanted to collaborate and make it more equitable and forward looking. He stated that he sees it as an opportunity to collaborate on ideas they are missing.
Fleenor recommended putting together a joint operating committee and then make recommendations to both entities.
Lamb indicated that they already have an operating committee.
Fleenor asked Lamb and Hanson to come back with a document for a joint committee to be put together.
Handy thought they should take a six month window and then come back.
Mia Nelson, Lowell, commented on the population forecast. She stated she was frustrated on how often the population forecast has been delayed over the past year and a half. She said staff will be presenting ideas for the Board to consider about expediting the process. She indicated that she has been working with staff. She explained that a key to making an expedited process work for this forecast is that it needs to go into the Rural Comprehensive Plan. She said Landwatch, Goal 1 and she have argued for over a year that the forecast must be part of a special purpose plan, while the small cities have insisted that go into the Rural Comp Plan. She indicated that the reason they fought about this was because of the different requirements for initiating and processing those two plan amendments. She added that only the Board can initiate special purpose plans and anyone who asks the Board to do so must offer to pay the cost. She said staff has devised a way to accomplish these things for all future cases, even if the forecast is in the rural part of the Comp Plan. She said because of this they are willing to step aside on the issue so an expedited process can move forward.
Deb Frisch, Eugene, had follow-up comments to District Attorney Alex Gardner and Sheriff Burger about the Budget.
a. DISCUSSION/Status of May 19th Joint Board of Commissioners/Lane County Planning Commission Meeting Regarding the Lane County Coordinated Population Forecast.
Matt Laird, Land Management, discussed the Lane County Coordinated Population Forecast and the status of othe May 19 Joint Board with the Board and the Lane County Planning Commissioners. He said the meeting will focus on a policy question on exactly where the population data will be located within the Lane County Comprehensive Plan. He said the meeting has been noticed and will allow the opportunity for the public to comment before the joint Board and Planning Commission. He said questions have been raised as to why this will not be considered at the first evidentiary Public Hearing. He said because the notice to DLCD had not been sent 45 days prior to the meeting date, that would have required the notice to be sent on April 3. He recalled that the process was approximately four weeks behind schedule to provide additional opportunities for citizens to participate in a process. He instructed his staff to wait until after the joint May 19 Board and Planning Commission meeting in order to receive direction from the bodies on how to proceed with the text amendment that they would mail to DLCD for review. He indicated that the 45 day notice for the small city PAPA application has already been mailed and the local notice for the upcoming First Reading and Public Hearing on June 3 He thought there could be possible adoption by June 17. He said if the Board is interested, they could fold the record of the Lane County Coordinated Population process including the Portland State University Draft Report into the record of the small city PAPA application. He explained that this would allow the Board to compare the two sets of population figures and would not be inconsistent because the Portland State University figures have already been discussed in the small city record.
Laird stated that if this path is chosen, the Board could also choose to have additional discussion with the Planning Commission at the May 19 joint meeting. He added in order to clarify the Planning Commission recommendation, (considering the new PSU report that has been issued and the discussed forecast processed and method of adoption) if the Board chooses this option, he would recommend sending a notice to all parties that have been involved with both the Lane County coordinated process and the small city PAPA, inviting them all to participate in the upcoming May 19 and June 3 Public Hearings.
Laird said in response to the comments, they have heard from the city of Springfield and their need for individual population numbers. He thought the Board could direct staff to divide the metro urban area population produced by PSU east and west of I-5, using historic 72 percent, 28 percent ratio between the populations of Eugene and Springfield. He said this would allow staff to include these numbers in any future tables produced by Lane Management. He stated this short time line will be difficult for staff, putting together board orders and legal notices. He added that it can be done but other projects will be placed on hold and all long range resources will be directed at finishing the population projects.
Dwyer wanted to expedite the process to get this resolved. He was willing to make the commitment to the resources.
Fleenor asked if there were any legal problems with this.
Vorhes said if anyone shows up and raises issues they will have to deal with as it comes. He thought it could be done.
MOTION: to 1) Place the PSU report and record into the small city PAPA record where it will be considered by the Board alongside the original proposal and any other testimony that enters the record. 2) Schedule the small PAPA for the First Reading and Hearing on June 3, Second Reading and potential decision on June 17; authorize staff to prepare a table of the PSU numbers including the separation of urban areas east and west of I-5, using the 72 percent, 28 percent rule for the Board to consider as part of the small city PAPA process; hold a May 19 joint Lane County Board and Planning Commission meeting to discuss the forecast process method of adoption; any affect of the PSU forecast, the meeting has been noticed and public comment will be taken. The board can ask if the Planning Commisison wants to be involved further with the consideration of the PSU numbers. 5) Send letters to all cities and other participants in both the PSU and small city PAPA proceedings explaining the current process and inviting them to participate. 6) Hold off initiating a separate adoption process for the PSU forecast, they can reactive in the future if necessary. For a timeline, (May 13 through 15) they should write a proposed ordinance using small city numbers, putting the forecast on page 4 of the RCP, send letters to cities and other participants advising them of the process, a new proposal to DLCD; prepare a board packet that will include the PSU chart that is to be done between May 13 and 15; May 18 the Board packet must be submitted; May 19, joint meeting with the LCPC on forecast, take public ccomment, discussion process for the small city PAPA and the impact to the PSU forecast, June 3, First Reading and Hearing, need to make all substantial changes now to avoid needing to do additional readings beyond June 17, consider written record open seven days, advise continued hearing to ensure staff has time to deal with the materials prior to June 17 meeting and on June 17, Second Reading, deliberation and possible action.
Fleenor MOVED, Dwyer SECONDED.
Fleenor wanted to make a friendly amendment to allow Land Management to reshuffle their work schedule to allow resources and time to allow the small city PAPA.
Dwyer SECONDED the amendment.
Fleenor reported on May 6 at the Willamalane Adult Activity Center there was an event by the Lane Coalition of Senior Programs honoring older Ameicans.
Handy attended an event at Clearlake Elementary School regarding communities and schools together.
Stewart reported that yesterday he was in Salem and he was asked to speak before Sen. Morrisette, Human Services and Rural Policy Committee, regarding how mental health services are distributed through integrated plans. He said the concern Lane County has is they already have an integrated system and they haven't included Lane County or other counties in the process to come up with a better delivery system. He said they requested to include more people recognizing that the Board of Commissioners is the Board of Mental Health. He also attended AOC's Legislative Meeting.
Dwyer also went to Salem and gave written testimony on a bill they weighed in on.
Fleenor talked about a letter that was published in The Register Guard about comments he made about the Joint Elected Officials Ambulance Summit.
13. EXECUTIVE SESSION as per ORS 192.660
There being no further business, Commissioner Sorenson recessed the meeting at 12:00 p.m.

This song was played non-stop in college circa '98-'99.
It was most certainly a one-hit wonder by the New Radicals.
Kudos to my friend and Good Dog regular, Milo, for enlightening me to the Onion's "A.V. Club" project.
They have artists cover other artists. They do 25 a year and as the year wraps up the performers have less and less to choose from -so it can be a bit of a challenge.

Joseph Said:is it right for Berkley High School to get rid of Science Labs because some minorities don't do well in them?
We Answered:It's called liberalism.
Ian Said:NEED SCIENCE FAIR HELP!!! Does anyone have any experimental ideas for a science fair on high school level?
We Answered:With a video camera and editing software, you can measure the speed of sound. Have a friend set off a firecracker at one end of a large field or stadium while you film it. The difference in time between the flash and the bang, as measure by the number of frames, will give you the speed of sound.
Otherwise, here's an interesting site with thousands of DIY projects that might give you ideas:
Barry Said:I am a high school science research student studying synesthesia. What should I do?
We Answered:The typical experiment they use is the one where all the 2's and 5's are mixed in together, and they check to see how fast the synesthete can find all the 2's. Since synnies see graphemes in certain colors, this is easily done. However, some synnies have 'strong associations' of colors for graphemes, and don't actually 'see' the colors projected on paper; only in their minds' eye.
Try googling Dr. Richard Cytowic; he has done the most recent research on the subject.
Darlene Said:Do you have any interesting science articles which you'd like to share?
We Answered:you should be able to find a bunch of different articles on here:
it's a magazine's website that is focused completely on science, and new scientific research, etc.
hope it helps!
Pauline Said:HPLC with Capsaicin? Too Hard for High School Science Fair?
We Answered:Having done HPLC experiments in college I'm not certain why you want to use it for measuring hotness of peppers? It's a chemical separation technique for analysis.
Also, HPLC requires specific equipment and compounds that I doubt you have access to. The process itself is not difficult, but you probably don't have access to the glass columns, methanol or other appropriate solvent, or the packing materials for the column.
What you want to decide, is what were you going to try to SHOW with HPLC? If you have a decent Question/Answer set for using HPLC, you can go to your school's chemistry teacher and ask if the school has the equipment in the lab, or if the teacher knows anyone at a local college that would be willing to do this with you. It's not impossible to get extra resources through the kindness of other deparments/institutions, but you'll have to really know what you want to ask and why the technique would answer it for them to want to donate valuable resources for you.

31 Rubs, Brines, and Marinades to Add More Flavor to Your Life
Tired of cooking and eating the same old thing? Add new life and monster flavor to your favorite recipes with these 31 rubs, brines, and marinades.
Onion Powder
Onion powder is finely ground, dehydrated onion. You'll find it in the spice section of the supermarket. The pungent powder has a flavor that's different from fresh onion yet recalls it—almost roasted, and less fresh and sweet than fresh onion. Because onion powder is pulverized, it's a convenient way to add oniony flavor to spice... View Article

Duke Ellington
Absolutely freeEvery time we post a new video,we'll send you a notice by e-mail.
Copenhagen, 1967
Here Duke Ellington really shows his range – slowing down the set to showcase his ability to play more seemingly introverted, modest arrangements for his set. It wasn't just about big band for this innovator in "jazz" – or what he simply liked to call "American music."
Having proved savvy enough to keep a band together for decades, Ellington has the largest recorded set of original jazz compositions.
That's how we grow.

Carly Sewell threw a complete-game six-hitter with eight strikeouts, but the last strikeout was the biggest in Hoover's 3-2 win over Thompson.
Thompson loaded the bases with two out in the seventh inning, then a sacrifice fly by Indiah Cohill scored one run for the Warriors. Sewell came back to strike out the last batter and leave the winning runs stranded on base.
Sewell also had two hits and two RBIs for the Bucs (11-7), and Abby Tisser had two doubles and an RBI.
Cohill finished with two hits and two RBIs for Thompson.
Haley Crumpton allowed five hits and three earned runs in seven innings pitched for the Warriors, while striking out seven.

St. Tammany resident Janice Vick was all smiles as a large number of guests from throughout the South showed up on her doorstep. Once again, the World Changers, an initiative of the Southern Baptist Convention which strives to provide an avenue for students to make a difference in the world, were back in Covington.
According to Kaite Beasley, Media Relations for World Changers, 251 students from 12 church groups in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, and South Carolina made First Baptist Church in Covington (FBCC) their home base June 22-29. This is the second summer in which students, ranging in age from 12 to 18, have been guests at the facility on Highway 1085. In a partnership between the North Shore Baptist Association and the St. Tammany Parish Community Development Block Grant Agency, students and their sponsors volunteered their time and talents to improve living conditions in particular areas of the parish.
Vick, who worked with her guests every step of the way, was overjoyed as visitors painted the exterior of her house, repaired her front porch, and replaced shingles.
"It's a great feeling," she said, noting that two crews, each consisting of at least 11 or 12 volunteers at a time, had emerged onto her residence daily at 5 a.m., ready to paint, repair exterior features of the house, and to remove unwanted brush from her yard.
Vick added that her home of 27 years has never looked better.
Florida resident Miriam McIntosh, a nine-year veteran with World Changers, noted that Vick showed her enthusiasm and gratitude by working alongside her guests, bringing them refreshments and offering encouragement. When asked why, after such a long time of volunteering with the organization, she continues to give up a week during the summer to serve complete strangers, McIntosh did not hesitate to answer. "We can show our love to Him by helping others. I am always blessed so much more (through World Changers experiences) than I can bless these people," she explained.
McIntosh added that the members at FBCC were, once again, perfect hosts for such an event. "They have been so gracious. They have done so much for use since we have been here. They have provided housing and food all week. If we looked lost, they would just show us the way."
When visiting the 12th Street construction site last week, I could not help but note how extremely hot it was in Covington around noon. However, the volunteers from World Changers appeared not to notice the sweltering heat. If they did, they did not complain.
Once I got back in my car, I was glad that I had visited the volunteers; it was impossible to totally grasp their commitment and love for others without encountering a few of the elements they endured, simply for the love of others and a representation of their faith.
Beasley, serving in her present capacity for the first time, and Abe Haley, Associate Minister to Students at FBCC and a project coordinator for World Changes, said that they now have a new perspective on serving others. "I have been working with World Changers since 2001 through youth groups, but this is different. These people are up and out here at 5:30 a.m. and ready to go," Haley said.
Even though First Baptist and World Changers worked diligently to house and place the 22 crews at 18 work sites, mostly in Covington, others also were instrumental in making the week of worship and ministry a success. Kent Design + Design, St.. Tammany Parish Community Development Black Grant Agency, and the Northshore Baptist Association all partnered with World Changers to, once again, revitalize substandard housing in St. Tammany.
Howard Thurman once wrote, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
We are fortunate that World Changers volunteers, and so many Covington residents, have chosen our community in which to make a difference,

A bicyclist injured when he was struck by a car on West Stadium Boulevard Saturday has been released from the hospital, Ann Arbor police said Monday.
The man was hit by a car as he was riding his bike south on West Stadium Boulevard just before 1:35 p.m. Saturday, Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said Monday. The crash occurred just north of Federal Boulevard near the U.S. Post Office.
The vehicle that hit him was travelling north and making a left turn, Bush said. Police reported on Sunday the man was northbound and the vehicle was southbound.
The man was originally taken to the University of Michigan Hospital in unstable condition, but was no longer there Monday afternoon.
"He has been released from the hospital and is at home recovering," Bush said.
The crash is still under investigation, police said. Investigators said Sunday the driver simply didn't see the bicyclist.
Anyone with information on this crash is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).

By JO ANN BELLIA-CAPUTO
As a graduate of St. Peter's Girls High School Class of 1968, it saddens me greatly to see such a great high school with such a wonderful history close.
The teachers were always dedicated to the students. Was it the building or the location? There are high-schoolers who travel into Manhattan every day for specialized schools.
The building? Well how fancy or beautiful a building is does not neccessarily turn out great students. St. Peter's graduates have gone on to be judges, nurses, doctors, teachers, lawyers professional basketball players, and on and on.
Dedicated teachers and parents and students make up a great school. Perhaps the Archdiocse of New York could have relocated the girls to St. Paul's grammar school and invested a little money into it to bring it up to high-school level.
It seems as if all the Catholic school closings have been in poorer neighborhoods where they are probably needed the most. I'll bet the Archdiosese tears down the building and sells the property.
Very sad indeed.

What is a Record Suspension?
- keeps your criminal record separate and apart from other criminal records;
- is evidence that your conviction(s) should no longer reflect upon your character; and
- reduces the risk of discrimination resulting from having a criminal record.
A Record Suspension reduces discrimination in many areas of your life, but may not eliminate all discrimination. Please check out all the specific topics below. If you want immediate assistance, CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW.
Answers to Your Questions – From Canada's Pardon & Record Suspension Expert
Who grants the Record Suspension?
The Record Suspension and Clemency Division of the Parole Board of Canada ("PBC") has the authority to grant, refuse or revoke a Record Suspension pursuant to the Criminal Records Act (CRA). This authority was granted in 1970. Since 1970 the National Parole Board has granted over 400,000 Pardons.
NOTICE: As a result of Bill-C10, the Record Suspension replaced the Canada Pardon on March, 13 2012. Eligibility rules and procedures have changed.
What will a criminal record search reveal once a Record Suspension has been granted?
- Once suspended, your criminal record becomes sealed. It is not erased, purged or expunged—though in some cases old records for which a person has been suspended may be purged.
- The search will not disclose the fact that you have had a criminal record or have been granted a Record Suspension unless you apply for a position that requires the disclosure of a suspended record (see #3 Limitations). Otherwise, it will appear as though you have never been convicted as the search will reveal "no record".
- Most employers do not ask individuals to disclose a pardoned or suspended record unless you are applying for a position involving the vulnerable sector.
Can my pardoned file be disclosed without my consent?
According to the Parole Board of Canada:
All information pertaining to convictions will be taken out of the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and may not be disclosed without permission from the Minister of Public Safety Canada. The CRA applies only to records kept within federal departments and agencies. However, many of the provincial and municipal law enforcement agencies cooperate by restricting access to their records once notified that a Record Suspension has been granted or issued.
The Canadian Human Rights Act forbids discrimination based on a record suspended conviction. This includes services a person needs or the opportunity to work for a federal agency. The CRA states that no employment application form within the federal public service may ask any question that would require an applicant to disclose a conviction. This also applies to a Crown corporation, the Canadian Forces, or any business within the federal authority.
You may personally request the release of pardoned or suspended information, for example, if you are applying for a U.S. Waiver and are required by law to disclose the same.
Why should I apply for a Record Suspension?
A Record Suspension is proof that a criminal record should no longer reflect upon your character—it reduces the risk of discrimination involving:
- Adoption
- Bonding
- Certification
- Commissioner for Oaths Appointment
- Driving (reduce the risk of greater scrutiny from random road-side police checks)
- Employment – Current (ie. job promotion, new owners, new company policy regarding screening, downsizing)
- Employment – Travel (ie. work visa abroad)
- Employment – New
- Educational Program (enrollment and completion of required practicum)
- Fostering
- Immigration to Canada – Landed Immigrant or Permanent Residency
- Immigration to Canada – Canadian Citizenship
- Immigration to a Foreign Country
- Licencing
- Notary Public Appointment
- Obtaining a Liquor Licence
- Owning a Care Facility (Child Care, Elderly Care, or Dependent Adult Care)
- Peace of Mind
- Purchasing a Franchise
- Rental Agreements
- Sitting on a Board of Directors
- Temporary Work or Study Visa (Canada)
- Temporary Work or Study Visa (Foreign)
- Travel
- Visiting Canada (for non-Canadians with Canadian criminal records)
- Volunteering
- Wandering eyes—non-pardoned court records are accessible by the public
Record Suspensions can take 6 to 18 months to be processed (varies depending on severity & length of record as well as processing times of police and courts involved in your application). Don't wait until you need a Record Suspension to apply. Apply at least 4 to 6 months in advance of eligibility.
What are the limitations of a Record Suspension?
A Record Suspension does not eliminate discrimination in all cases. Here is a list of some limitations:
- A Record Suspension (or Pardon) may not be recognized by a foreign country and may not guarantee that you will be granted entry privileges. See #16. Travelling Outside Canada.
- A Record Suspension does not erase the fact that you were convicted of an offence.
- A Record Suspension does not return to you driving privileges or the ability to possess a firearm (if prohibited from having a Driver's Licence or firearm).
- Courts and Police Services (excluding RCMP) are governed by provincial and municipal legislation. Though they are not obligated to keep pardoned and suspended files separate from other convictions, most will.
- If other persons, agencies or foreign countries have details of your criminal record, they will not be asked or required to remove it. A separate request may be required to have local police purge criminal related information, including arrest records purged.
- The police have the authority to retrieve suspended sex offences during employment and volunteer pre-screening involving work in the vulnerable sector. If a civil search or search of a pardoned or suspended record results in the finding of a sex offence a police clearance certificate will not be issued and employment or volunteering will not be allowed with the vulnerable sector.
- A Record Suspension will most likely be revoked if you re-offend. Further, if you are facing charges before court, a suspended record can be opened and presented before the courts as prior offences can affect the outcome of sentencing.
- If your court case was published on the internet, it may not be removed without a court order.
Must I disclose my suspended criminal record?
- A Canadian Record Suspension seals your criminal record. It does not erase the fact that you had a criminal record. If asked, "Have you ever been arrested, charged, convicted, pardoned or received a Record Suspension", then the correct and truthful response is "Yes, I was convicted. However, I have since been granted a Canadian Pardon (or been granted a Record Suspension)."
- Most employment applications ask "Do you have a criminal record for which you have not been pardoned (or received a Record Suspension)". In these cases, once pardoned or suspended, you can truthfully answer "no". However, in some employment situations, an employer will demand that you disclose a pardoned or suspended record (primarily jobs involving vulnerable people and high security).
- A Pardon or Record Suspension is not perfect. It helps in many, but not all, situations. Most employers do not ask individuals to disclose a pardoned or suspended record unless related to a position involving the vulnerable sector.
When can I apply for a Record Suspension?
You can apply for a Record Suspension once you have met all waiting periods for all convictions (it is advisable you start your application at least 4 to 6 months before eligibility), you are not under investigation, no charges are pending or outstanding and there is no warrant out for your arrest.
Even if you are not eligible for a few years, and especially in cases where you have had several convictions, it is advisable to start a "partial Record Suspension" early wherein we help you order your RCMP record and all court documents pertaining to convictions where fines, restitution, and victim fine surcharges were ordered. Often we find unpaid fines clients forgot about or thought they paid, or perhaps they only partially paid it. Clients must then pay their outstanding fine, then wait the 5 or 10 year waiting period from the date full payment has been made before getting a Record Suspension. The PBC does not ordinarily accept an explanation that "I though it was paid" or "the courts did not advise me correctly that it was owing". It is their general practice to make you pay it and then wait the required waiting period.
We've also had courts insist a fine was not paid, and only after a few months of thorough investigation and persistence it was proven the fine was paid…therefore, it pays to start your application early just in case.
If you are under investigation and/or charges are pending or outstanding and/or there is a warrant out for your arrest, but it is due to 'wrong place at wrong time' or 'complete misunderstanding' or 'civil matter such as a parking ticket' it is possible you may still be able to start your Record Suspension application right away. In this case, we recommend you contact our office to discuss your situation so that we can assess the possibility of how these unresolved issues will affect your application.
Waiting Periods
- 5 years for a summary offence (or a service offence under the National Defence Act).
- 10 years for an indictable offence (or a service offence under the National Defence Act for which you were fined more than $5,000, detained or imprisoned for more than 6 months).
- See below for offences for which you CANNOT apply for Record Suspension.
The date that you satisfied your sentence is the date that you paid your fine, victim fine surcharge, restitution, probation, incarceration, compensation order or community service. If you were given a 2-year probationary period, the date that you satisfied your sentence is the last day of your 2-year probationary period—not the date that you were discharged from probation. The same applies to incarceration—it is the last day of the full sentence regardless of your release date. If you are given 'time to pay' a large fine or restitution order, pay it immediately or at the earliest opportunity!
Suspensions of driver's licence and ban on possessing a firearm for a given period of time are not used in the calculation of waiting periods. This means you may be eligible to apply for a Record Suspension even if you are still prohibited from obtaining a Driver's Licence or possessing a firearm. However, a Record Suspension does not guarantee a return of your driver's licence nor does it result in the cancellation of any ban you may have received in possession or owning a gun.
Are any offenses ineligible?
Yes. You cannot apply for Record Suspension if you have been convicted of:
- a Schedule 1 Offence (sexual offence involving a child) under the Criminal Records Act;
- common assault or assault with intent to commit an indictable offence against a child committed before January 4, 1983; and
- more than three (3) offences prosecuted by indictment each with a prison sentence of two (2) years or more.
Will my record be suspended?
Your Record Suspension may not be granted if:
- you fail to meet the good conduct criteria;
- you fail to demonstrate a Record Suspension will provide you with a measurable benefit;
- you fail to demonstrate a Record Suspension will sustain your rehabilitation into society as a law-abiding citizen; or
- the Administration of Justice would be brought into disrepute if a Record Suspension were granted.
Suspension Record Refusals & Good Conduct
Your Record Suspension will be denied if charges are pending, you are under investigation, or you are not eligible to apply. You may fail to meet the good conduct criteria if any one of the following occurred within your 5 or 10 year waiting period:
- you have been under criminal investigation (even if found not guilty or charges were withdrawn, dismissed or stayed);
- you entered into a peace bond;
- conditional and absolute discharges;
- you were drunk and disorderly in a public place;
- you have overdue fines related to non-criminal matters;
- you were convicted of a provincial or municipal offence;
- you have a suspended Driver's Licence (usually due to unpaid fine);
- harassing telephone calls;
- you are known by the police to be associating with gangs, criminals or terrorist groups; or
- you were involved in any situation where police intervention was required.
However, if the PBC proposes to deny your Record Suspension application for any reason, you will be advised of the proposal, following which you will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the PBC. The Board will consider your written representations before making a final decision on your file. If your Record Suspension Application is refused, you will be able to re-apply one year after the date of the decision. NOTE: even if one of the above incidences did happen, your Record Suspension may still be granted.
What is a measurable benefit?
According to the PBC, examples of how a Record Suspension provides the applicant with a measurable benefit include:
- obtaining employment;
- obtaining residence/ improving their living conditions;
- obtaining an education;
- removing stigma/changing others perceptions;
- social and/or personal improvement; and
- financial stability.
Six Ways to Show How a Record Suspension will Sustain Your Rehabilitation into Society
I find the wording of this criteria objectionable. To me, it presumes you would not be able to sustain yourself in society as a law-abiding citizen unless given a Record Suspension. Then it goes on to indicate that you must demonstrate how you have rehabilitated. I accept the examples they give, I just reject the idea that is implied that all of my clients require a Record Suspension in order to remain law-abiding. Their examples include:
- making a positive contribution to society;
- having a lifestyle that is no longer associated with criminal behaviour;
- taking responsibility for offences and sentences;
- taking steps to ensure there is no risk of recidivism;
- identifying a support system; and
- identifying pro social relationships and social networks.
Revocation of Pardons or Record Suspensions
A Pardon or Record Suspension may be revoked if an individual re-offends or the PBC issued a Pardon or Record Suspension in error (such that it should have been denied due to one of the above reasons that may have been missed in error or due to misrepresentation by the applicant).
Not all Pardons/Record Suspensions are revoked if a person re-offends. For example, if you were pardoned for a theft conviction 30 years ago, then re-offend with something like an impaired conviction, the PBC may choose not to revoke your Pardon or Record Suspension because the two offences are unrelated and the new conviction is a summary offence. Or, if your very old minor pardoned or suspended conviction was purged prior to the new offence, then it would be impossible for a Pardon or Record Suspension to be revoked. Typically, your Pardon or Record Suspension would automatically be revoked if you are convicted of a new indictable offence and may be revoked if you are convicted of a new summary offence.
Summary, Hybrid or Indictable Offences
In order to determine when you are eligible for a Record Suspension, you need to know if your conviction(s) were tried summarily or by indictment. You also need confirmation that all fines, VFS and restitution were paid. Further, if you prove all offences are summary, your file will be processed faster.
Convictions are tried either summarily or by indictment. Some convictions are always summary (e.g. causing a disturbance, indecent act, possession of marijuana up to 30 gms) and are considered minor offences. Some convictions are always indictable (e.g. break and enter into a dwelling house, sexual assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, theft over, theft from an employer, drug trafficking or cultivation) and are more serious offences.
A hybrid offence (e.g. theft under, impaired driving, sexual assault) is deemed an indictable offence, unless the Crown elects to treat it as a summary offence. The only way to know if a hybrid offence was tried summarily is to look at the court document. Sometimes you can tell an offence was tried by indictment by the sentence given. Unfortunately, if the courts are unable to retrieve your court document (e.g. misfiled, destroyed by flood as has happened in a few court houses in the prairie provinces or purged due to court house purge policy), then by default it is deemed an indictable offence if it can't be proven to be summary.
A review of your criminal record will not disclose whether your hybrid offence was tried summarily or by indictment. To determine whether your conviction is summary or indictable, you will need to refer to your Court Document or you may contact our office at: 1-800-320-2477 (toll free in Canada) or 403-229-2774 (local to Calgary or outside Canada) for your free consultation. You may also check out the following chart:
CAUTIONThere are some offences that are currently hybrid, but years ago were always indictable, such as old theft and break and enter convictions (related to non-dwelling house). Theft under convictions as well as break and enter (into a non-dwelling house) are currently hybrid offences. This Chart may not reflect your particular conviction at the time that it occurred.
Record Suspension Processing Times
Prior to submitting your Record Suspension application to the PBC it can take an average of 1 to 5 months to prepare your application and obtain all of your supporting documents. It all depends on how quickly the RCMP process your fingerprints, backlogs of the local police where you have resided in the past 5 years, backlogs at the court house(s) you were convicted in, age of convictions, and whether your criminal record matches your court documents. RCMP take an average of 3 to 6 weeks, and police and court reports can take as few as 2 weeks for some locations and as many as 4 months for others. Police and Court Reports can't be obtained (most of the time) until your RCMP record has been received.
How long will it take for the Parole Board to process your Record Suspension application once they receive it? When the new Record Suspension Rules came out, the PBC advised "they were legislated" to complete Applications with only summary offences "within 6 months" and Applications with indictable offences "within 12 months". However, within 18 months of the new rules taking effect on February 22, 2012, they are already advising that "it could take longer", which suggests to me that the legislation is being interpreted more flexibly.
Emergency & Early Record Suspensions
Emergency Pardons or Record Suspension
Be very cautious when dealing with companies giving false promises that your file can be expedited, rushed or fast-tracked. The only part that may be sped up is the 2 week to 4 month period wherein court documents and local police checks are ordered. However, there are also many courts and police departments that will NOT expedite their requests as well (many locations are faced with back logs and budget constraints which make it impossible for them to consider emergency requests or a request to put your file ahead of someone else's).
In an emergency situation, we automatically rush the ordering of court documents(s) and police check(s) (provided they permit it–you only pay for extra courier costs that may arise).
Early Pardons or Record Suspensions (Royal Prerogative of Mercy ' RPM')
The loss of opportunity is a natural consequence of having a criminal record. The ability to apply for and receive an early Record Suspension before you are eligible is rare and does not apply to people who are suffering 'natural consequences'. This section does not qualify for individuals who are prohibited from having their record suspended. For more information on RPM, please contact our office.
Loss of job opportunity is a natural consequences of having a criminal record.
Conditional & Absolute Discharges
Can I Get a Record Suspension for a Conditional or Absolute Discharge? Answer: No.
Discharges Issued After July 24, 1992
A Discharge will automatically be purged 1 year after you received an Absolute Discharge or 3 years after you received a Conditional Discharge (provided you comply with the conditions imposed).
Discharges Issued Prior to July 24, 1992
If you have a discharge prior to July 24, 1992, you can request in writing to have your discharge purged for free by contacting:
Attn. PURGE UNIT
Director, Identification Services Royal Canadian Mounted Police
PO Box 8885 Ottawa, Ontario K1G 3M8
w. (613) 998-6158 f. (613) 957-9063
If you hire us to assist you with a Record Suspension for Criminal Convictions, we will ensure Discharges are purged at no extra cost to you. Some paralegal companies charge substantial fees to 'purge' discharges when all you should pay for is an RCMP search to ensure the discharge was properly purged.
CAUTION: You should request a copy of your criminal record to ensure the Discharge has been purged properly. If you have no convictions in addition to any discharge you may have, you must ensure that the FPS File Number associated with it is also purged. Please call us at 1-800-320-2477 to discuss.
Automatic Purging of Convictions
Generally speaking, criminal convictions do not automatically disappear after a period of time. Nor is the sealing of a criminal conviction automatic. A formal application must be made requesting a Record Suspension. However, there are a few instances when criminal convictions are automatically purged concerning:
- Individual Reaches the Age of 80
- Individual Reaches the Age of 100 (if individual does not qualify at age 80)
- Youth Convictions (youth convictions do not all automatically disappear once you reach 18 and if you are convicted of an adult conviction prior to the purging of a youth conviction, then the youth conviction may not be purged and instead may be sealed with the granting of a Pardon)
For more information on automatic purging related to these incidences, you may call our office.
Traveling Outside Canada with a Record
United States Waiver of Inadmissibility
According to the Parole Board of Canada, a Canadian Pardon (now called Record Suspension) is not recognized outside Canada. Specifically, they state: "Many foreign countries, including the United States (U.S.), do not recognize a Canadian Pardon. If you have a criminal record and are interested in going to the U.S., you may want to apply for a United States Waiver (American INS Waiver)." For more information, visit: United States Waiver.
Frequent travellers may need a US Waiver and Pardon (or Record Suspension) to qualify for a Nexus Card so that they may avoid long line ups when entering the United States.
According to the Parole Board of Canada:
Because a Pardon is awarded under Canadian Law it does not have legal force outside of Canada. The authorities of foreign countries can not be compelled to delete or withdraw criminal record information from their own records. Although a Pardon can be considered a positive factor, it does not guarantee entry on foreign soil.
Travelling to other foreign countries with a criminal record
Most countries will not inquire as to whether you have a criminal record when travelling to their country unless you plan to (a) visit their country for more than 6 months; (b) immigrate to their country; or (c) obtain a work visa for their country. You will need to check the Consulate of the Country to which you are travelling to determine if your record will prevent you from entering. If your record is an obstacle, in most cases this obstacle will be removed once you obtain a Canadian Pardon or Record Suspension.
NOTE: If you are inadmissible to the United States, you cannot travel to a foreign country via stop-over in the United States unless you have a Waiver of Inadmissibility.
Can my pardoned or suspended file be disclosed to the United States or other country?
According to the Parole Board of Canada, the Solicitor General may choose to disclose a pardoned file (or Record Suspension) to the United States or any other country without your consent or knowledge. They specifically state:
Under the CRA, only the Solicitor General of Canada has the authority to disclose information from a pardoned Record…if satisfied that the disclosure is desirable in the interests of the administration of justice or for any purpose related to the safety or security of Canada or any state allied or associated with Canada.
According to Sec. 212(a)(6)(i) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act[8 U.S.C. 1182], misrepresentation is defined as:
In general – Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this Act is inadmissible.
According to McWhirter, R.J. (The Criminal Lawyer's Guide to Immigration Law: Questions and Answers, Alberta Bar Association: 2006, 2nde Ed., p. 261.),
…denying a criminal conviction violates 18 U.S.C. § 1546.
Must I disclose a suspended file?
Some companies will advise not to disclose a pardoned or suspended file to a foreign country. They are counselling misrepresentation and can get themselves and you into trouble. You have a criminal record (pardoned or otherwise). It is (or should be) your goal to put it behind you for good—misrepresentation does not accomplish this. If you are inadmissible to the United States, the proper and legal thing to do is to apply for a Waiver for legal entry. Not ALL convictions render you inadmissible to the United States.
Can I obtain a passport?
According to Passport Canada:
The fact that a person has a criminal record will not necessarily prevent that person from obtaining a passport. We examine all passport applications and establish eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
It is my experience you would only be denied a passport if you are serving a sentence that prohibits travel, are facing charges that have resulted in you being restricted from travel or if a restriction was placed on your passport due to unpaid child support.
Possessing a passport does not guarantee you entry privileges into another country and does not help you overcome grounds for inadmissibility. When your Passport is scanned at a port of entry of a foreign country, it is being scanned to see if it is valid or if it has been reported stolen. It is not ordinarily linked to a criminal record. U.S. authorities would typically have to go to a different database to see if you have a criminal record, unless your passport was previously linked by them to a criminal record (see highlight below).
The United States Border Pre-Screening Officer may decide to check for a criminal record upon entry, at some point during your trip or long after your trip. Point #1: the initial screening of the passport does not identify the existence of a record, because it is not linked to a criminal record. Point #2: the US Border Pre-Screening Officer only checks randomly if you have a criminal record, but on the day of travel they may decide not to take the time to see if you have a criminal record. Point #3: when you enter the United States, they may keep biographic information about you which was obtained from your passport to search for a criminal record at a later date. Point #4: if they then find out you have a criminal record they can note this on their system so that when your passport is scanned again, it is now linked to your record.

Through an evening of top-shelf food, wine and performance, Birmingham Children's Theatre board member Glenda Nagrodzki and husband Paul introduced nearly 70 guests to the magic of Birmingham Children's Theatre. The evening at their Crestline home also raised $15,000 for Birmingham Children's Theatre.
The couple worked with award-winning Chef Chris Hastings of Hot and Hot Fish Club to create the menu, pairing a series of small bites with wine from Paul's extensive cellar.
Guests enjoyed a surprise performance by two BCT actors. Playing the roles of Dorothy and the Scarecrow, Leah Luker and Michael Tallon delighted the audience with songs and stayed through the evening to engage with guests.
"The actors really provided the event something extra and introduced our guests to the quality of talent at BCT," Glenda said. "There was a real sense of interaction and excitement and the menu of miniature courses kept everyone up and mingling."
One of the nation's oldest and largest professional companies for young audiences, BCT is dedicated to producing high-quality, professional theatrical entertainment and arts education experiences that are relevant to school curriculum.
"From productions that teach nutrition to important history lessons to bringing classic children's novels to life, BCT provides an important way to teach children," Jack R. Lemmon, executive director, said. "By combining its productions with extensive curriculum guides and community education programs, BCT instills a love of theatre while imparting important life lessons and addressing issues facing our children."
Through in-house productions and touring programs, Birmingham Children's Theatre will play to nearly 175,000 students, teachers and families during the 2013-2014 season.

Mr William Frederick Cheverton, 27, was born in Newport, Isle of Wight, Hampshire in the last months of 1884, being baptised on 21 October that year. He was the son of William Cheverton (b. 1846) and Emma McDowell (b. 1853).
His father was native to Newport and worked as a labourer in a brewery, serving at different times as an ale bottler and brewery warehouse foreman. He was married to Emma McDowell in 1876, a native of Stepney, Middlesex. Emma was the daughter of an Irish father, Joseph Redfern McDowell, a master mariner, and Emma Delves, a native of London. Joseph Redfern McDowell was on board the paddle-steamer S.S. Cawarra, when that ship was caught in rough seas and foundered in Newcastle Harbour, New South Wales, Australia on 12 July 1866. He was among the lost. His widow died in the latter half of 1912.
Courtesy of Chris Dohany, USA
William Frederick Cheverton was one of ten children, his siblings being: Emma Mary (b. 1877), Alice Maud (b. 1880), Clara Edith (b. 1881), Ellen Elizabeth (b. 1882), Edwin (b. 1885), Lilian Maud (b. 1887), Florence Mabel (b. 1888), Thomas Arthur (b. 1891) and Dorothy May (b. 1894).
On both the 1891 and 1901 census reports William and his family were living at Anchor Brewery in Mill Street, Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight. By the time of the later, William, aged 16, had already left school and was described as a printer (painter?). He went to sea sometime between this and the next census in 1911 where he was listed as a visitor at 2 Oxford Street, Southampton and his occupation was given as a ship's steward. This was apparently a boarding address and his future Titanic colleague George Herbert Hinckley was also listed here. His parents were still living at Mill Street on the 1911 census.
When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 4 April 1912, William gave his address as 6 Mill Street, Newport, Isle of Wight. As a first class steward he received monthly wages of £3 15s. His last ship had been the Olympic.
Cheverton, who was unmarried, died in the sinking, his body was found by the steamer Ilford in June 1912
His family received assistance from the Titanic relief fund. The press at the time described how William had regularly sent money home to his mother to help support the care of an invalid sister, Ellen "Nellie" Elizabeth.
His father died in 1920 and his mother in 1924.
This made [unofficially] body #334 (since the Oceanic found collapsible A in May, with three bodies inside, those would be, unofficially, 331, 332,and 333).

After a quick breakfast at Cracker Barrel and a short drivers meeting, the British Reliability Run is off to a start. About a dozen British cars, old and new, took off from the Colonnade parking lot at about 8:30 a.m. with Birmingham Police Department's Sgt. G. Clark and officer S. Zimmerman leading the way.
Before hitting the road, though, Artemise Rue of Birmingham got to see what it's like in the driver's seat of a 1963 MGB Roadster. As small as the car is Artemise found she had plenty of leg room and didn't want to get out.
But the club was already late, and the car's owner, John Steger of Trussville was ready to go. He's our driver for the first leg of the event, and so far, things are going smoothly. The 33-year-old car, known as Onslo, has let us know with clouds of gray smoke, that it doesn't like idling at all. Oh and the driver's side door likes to come open on its own. And the passenger side doesn't open at all. But seriously, it's a great car and so far is a very fun ride.
More posts coming throughout the day.

Apparently not, based on a quick reading of the review. They measured the input looking into the filter from the transmitter, but presumably they were terminated into 50 ohms. This is a real problem when you're trying to do harmonic suppression. More than one designer has been bitten by a filter that attenuates well close to the passband, but doesn't have very good attenuation farther out. I'm not saying that the filters in the review don't work, nor that you can't design a filter that works into any load impedance, but, as someone pointed out, without any meaningful specs, it's all just advertising.
