Clean sweep: Snow and ice removal costly, but effective
Cleansing December's snow and ice from the city's roads was an expensive measure, but one residents are grateful for.
A 24-person crew worked continuous 12-hour shifts to keep the city's roads drivable during the storms. With six sanding, de-icing and plow trucks, the team was able to clear 570 lane miles of arterial, collector and residential streets during a nine-day time span, Public Works director Marwan Salloum said.
The men and women were given a standing ovation by the audience and certificates of appreciation from the city council at the group's Jan. 6 meeting. There, Salloum recognized them for their hard work and efforts traveling to and from Federal Way and their homes in areas such as Enumclaw and Gig Harbor during the winter weather.
"The efforts that they've put forth during this event were amazing," Mayor Jack Dovey said.
The team plowed high-traffic streets such as South 320th Street, 1st Avenue South, South 348th Street and Pacific Highway South before moving to residential streets. At times, the crew spent hours refining these arterials and were ready to begin their work on secondary routes, only to discover more snowfall had made freshly cleared roads unmanageable once again. Residential streets were not forgotten though.
Bob Dockstader lives in Twin Lakes. He's resided in Federal Way for 34 years, but has never seen the city's response to snow and ice as well-managed as it was during the latest snow storm, he said. He is impressed the city had the foresight to purchase additional equipment, create a plan to address the weather and implement the plan without a hitch, he said. He is also happy to see his tax dollars spent wisely, he said.
"In past times when we would get snow, the street would effectively be impassable until the temperature warmed up to melt it," Dockstader said. "This year, low and behold, twice they came by and plowed our street. We could get around very easily."
Clearing the streets required 2,600 hours of labor — 1,600 of that being overtime — and a continuous flow of materials. Approximately $68,000 was spent on labor costs, including the overtime pay, Salloum said. Another approximately $100,000 was spent on sand, de-icer and salt. Sand was transported from Auburn. Salt was delivered from Seattle and de-icer came across the mountain passes from Eastern Washington.
A total of 1,000 tons of sand and salt and another 35,000 gallons of de-icing liquid were used to keep the streets maneuverable for motorists and pedestrians, Salloum said. The total costs of the operation have yet to be tallied, but are expected to exceed $200,000, he said.
Funding to cover the snow and ice removal operations will be taken from the Public Works department's budget and is money that was not utilized elsewhere in 2008, Salloum said. A total of $20,000 was appropriated for such emergencies in the department's 2008 budget. The department will not be asking for additional funding from the city to cover the costs, he said.
The effort could not have been as successful as it was without the trucks and equipment the city council approved for purchase in July 2007, following the previous winter's storms and the city's inability to properly respond to them, Salloum said. The council also approved the purchase of a 1,000-kilowatt generator that will soon be installed at the community center.
The action was taken in preparation for future storms, but council member Mike Park said he did not imagine the equipment would be needed so soon and thought the purchase would not likely be fully recognized within 10 years.
"This year Federal Way just got on top of things and did the job the way it was supposed to be done," Dockstader said.
By the numbers:
• 9: number of days crews dedicated to clearing the roads
• 570: total lane miles of roads cleared
• 148: lane miles of arterial streets cleared
• 57: lane miles of collector streets cleared

I wrote a column today about the friendship between Jim Boeheim and Bill Rapp. I tried to get a lot of information into the piece, and I hope it got the point across about the depth of their connection. But if it didn't, this is the bottom line:
Boeheim made it clear during a long interview on Wednesday that Rapp played a completely unique role in his life. While almost everyone around Central New York may recognize Boeheim, he essentially said that only a tiny handful of people have a real clue as to who he is ... and Rapp knew him better than anyone.
The bond was powerful enough that Juli Boeheim, in a conversation Thursday, said she does not believe any joy or triumph in her husband's life will ever be quite the same, that he will always carry around a sense of absence. She used the word "broken" to describe Jim's sadness over the past few days.
In the interview, Jim Boeheim kept going back to the whole idea of losing. His father was a ferocious competitor who hated to lose, and he passed that quality on to his boy. Anyone who's been close to Syracuse basketball knows that Boeheim will sometimes literally tremble with frustration after a close defeat.
Bill Rapp, Boeheim said, was "the only one" he could really turn to after that kind of loss. Even Juli said that she would urge her husband to go to Rapp's house after some loss that was especially hard to stomach.
To find people who'll be there for you after a win is easy, Jim Boeheim said. To replace the people who are there for you in hard times is almost impossible.
Over the last 30 years, no one was there for him like Rapp.

Pullan, Martin R, Armstrong, Kate E, Paterson, Trevor, Cannon, Alan, Kennedy, Jessie, Watson, Mark F, McDonald, Sarah M and Raguenaud, Cedric (2005) The Prometheus Description Model: An examination of the taxonomic description building process and its representation. Taxon, 54 (3). pp. 751-765. ISSN 0040-0262Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
A model for representing taxonomic descriptive data is presented. The model has been developed in response to the growing requirement for the global exchange of descriptive data. Meaningful exchange of data requires that data be represented in a form that can be consistently parsed and interpreted, requiring a common data model and the constrained and explicitly defined use of descriptive terms. The model presented here is divided into two parts that address both of these issues. A new data model for the representation and storage of taxonomic descriptive data is proposed that builds on and extends the best features of current descriptive data models and formats. An ontology-based model for defining and constraining the use of descriptive terms is also presented. The model is based on an analysis of current taxonomic working practices and the processes involved in generating a description. The model takes a specimen-oriented approach allowing descriptive data to be represented through a range of levels of abstraction from actual measurements of structures on a specimen to abstract descriptions of the features expected to be found on a specimen that is a member of a particular taxon. A comparison and discussion of the important aspects of the new model relative to existing models is presented.

Were there particular teachers, or books you read as a young man, that stimulated or inspired you?
When people ask me what's a favorite book that I've ever read, I used to say Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee, who went in to a little remote area in Alabama during the Depression years, got a grant from I think the WPA (Works Projects Administration) or something, and wrote about the lives of people who lived in desperate poverty, and how they dealt with the exigencies of life, the challenges, the disappointments of life, and still had a coherent family environment. And the photographs in the book by Walker Evans are just works of art. That book is one of my favorites as well.
Is that because it gave you a sense of empathy with people who are struggling?
Jimmy Carter: It showed me that the experiences of our neighbors were not unique, that there were people all over the country who suffered. It happened then, during the Depression years, that all the families he analyzed in great depth were white families. We still have people like that living in our country. What impressed me with that book was a tremendous chasm between people who have everything, who have a house and a job and education and adequate diets, and a sense of success or security, who want to do good things, and the vast array of people still in our country who don't have any of these things, and whom we seldom, if ever, know.
I experienced the ravages of racial discrimination as a child, and even as an adult, and I've seen discrimination against women, and wars all over the world because of ethnic discrimination. The greatest discrimination in the world now, here in Atlanta or in New York is a discrimination against poor people. We don't even know them. We care in general about homelessness, or drug addiction, or school dropouts, but we don't know a homeless person, and we don't know a drug addict, and we don't know a school dropout or a teenage pregnant woman. This is not a deliberate discrimination, it's a discrimination by default. We tend to build a plastic bubble around ourselves so that we only have to associate with people just like us. And so, this suffering that still goes on in our country and around the world is very severe.
[ Key to Success ] Integrity
That book, among other things, just woke me up to the fact that we still have people like this next door, and we are not doing much about it.
The road to success is usually a winding one. What kinds of setbacks have you had through your life? And what did you learn from them?
Jimmy Carter: Well, sometimes dramatic changes in life take place because of a deliberate decision. Sometimes they are inadvertent or unanticipated, and certainly not desired. When I left the Navy, which had been my lifelong commitment, and came home to the little tiny town of Plains, my wife almost left me, because she could see that we were restricting our lives and not expanding them. But out of that tiny village of Plains, I learned to broaden my perspectives.
I ran for the governorship in 1966 and lost. It was the first real defeat in my life. At everything else I had been successful. Whenever I wanted something in the Navy, I got it because I was an outstanding officer. I worked hard. So that was a very serious blow to me. I was very distressed. And my sister, whose name is Ruth Stapleton, was a famous evangelist. She wrote four or five books, and she would give lectures to 50,000 people at a time. She and I had a long walk in the woods on my farm, and she said, "Jimmy, quite often, when you have a blow to your pride and a horrible defeat, you can either give up, or you can look on it as a way that God opens to you to do different and even better things." And I said, "Ruth, I've been defeated for governor in Georgia. My political career is over. I don't have any future." But it proved to be wrong. And then of course, I was defeated in 1980 again for re-election after reaching the highest levels of political achievement in the world. And I thought we were in desperate straits then. I found out I was in debt. I had put all my financial resources in a private trust. And I didn't let them communicate with me. After I was defeated for re-election, I found out that instead of being a fairly wealthy person, I was a million dollars in debt. And I thought I was going to have to sell all my farms and everything in order to pay off my debts. But I've managed to pay them off now, and we have as exciting and challenging and vigorous and adventurous and gratifying a life here at the Carter Center as I ever had before in my life.

Halloween is one of the most creative Holidays in a year. People love to scare people and they love to express the atmosphere of Halloween by wearing different scary costumes. Traditionally, every nation has its own scary creatures and we can't say that they are not scary but I say no one will ever laugh but scream at night if you've seen these costumes. But originally, we can't think and make another scary creature from another imagination or cartoon. Normally, the ones that who made costumes refer to those cases of creature and monsters that is indeed scary and once feared. We say, from others and from our own experiences we saw different creatures in movies and in reality that scared us and that we know in our mind that those creatures whether it is real or not, it scared us.
People love to know the expressions of people around when they saw a creature that they scared of. They wear the best costume ever and scare people around and then laugh around after. But what really is the most unoriginal Halloween costume?
Ghost. We know that ghost are often scare people, whatever its face and figure. But mostly, a white lady is the most common of all ghosts of the century. You always seen it in TV, movies or maybe you have seen it in reality. Ghosts are souls of dead people they say, so they are around us together living with us. People love to make costumes from it because it is the basic and very unoriginal Halloween costume of all. We know that ghost comes from everywhere and every nation.
Witch. This is the second of the list and most wore costume for girls aside from a ghost of a white lady. Witches are originally come from Western countries but every nation has its own versions of witches but nevertheless they are all witches in the same name and character. People love this costume in Halloween parties and other costume events and parties. Proudly black, this costume signifies darkness and evil.
Pumpkin. This costume is not that scary but I listed down on number three because it has a lot of influence to people. People love to wear pumpkin costume just for fun because it is not scary one. But I think it depends on the person who wears a pumpkin costume if he/she can greatly handle it and can surely scare people around. Just add some action and voice and you have the scariest pumpkin character ever. But make sure that you can handle the big head around your face and get ready to sweat a lot if you want to wear it.
Clown. Clowns are traditionally funny stuffs and person but people make a twist from it. There made some stories of evil clowns who don't make fun of himself or other things or people but do bad things to them. You can consider this costume as a basic one because of its structure. You just add some scary long clothes and have some very scary make up on you face.
Vampire/Dracula. Like witches and ghost, this may be the most worn costume in every costume party. Most of this costumes is for boys and it really make it real for them if they have those capes and black suites and most of all, the fangs. White skin and the makeup may add to the scary thing but to most people they are not that scary of all. Sometimes you can refer them as hot or should have not here in a Halloween costume but in a modelling section.

Angels 7, D-backs (ss) 7 …
Josh Hamilton's first two plate appearances with the Angels took all of three pitches. His third went five, but it cost him his last bat. On his second straight foul ball, Hamilton had to scurry back to the on-deck circle and take Mark Trumbo's bat, which he used to hit a second straight flyout to center field and cap an 0-for-3 day.
"I ran out of bats, man," said Hamilton, who packed three bats for his first game with the Angels, then broke one in BP and broke two more in the game.
Here's the non-Hamilton breakdown of Tuesday's game …
The good
The Angels didn't lose! They're now 0-4-1 thanks to Bill Hall's eighth-inning two-run double.
Speaking of Hall, who's fighting for a roster spot — he went 2-for-4 with four RBIs, adding a two-run double in the fourth on a ball that bounced off the left-field wall.
Brendan Harris, among those competing against him, went 2-for-3 and made a nice leaping grab at shortstop.
The bad
A.J. Schugel got hit around in the first inning, giving up three runs on five hits (one of which was a two-run homer by Gerardo Parra). He then settled down in the second, retiring the side while giving up a walk, prompting manager Mike Scioscia to believe it was mostly nerves that initially hindered him. "He was just amped up," Scioscia said. "He was trying to throw the ball hard. He has a good arm, but he was overthrowing a bit. Second inning, he changed speeds more and he pitched. Great makeup, really good arm, and I think the second inning is more indicative of how A.J.'s career will go."
Angels pitchers as a whole have given up 38 runs in 44 innings, which amounts to a 7.77 ERA. But hardly any of those who have taken the mound will be on the Opening Day roster.
Best play (that I saw)
With the D-backs spraying the ball everywhere in the first inning against Schugel, Trumbo bailed his starting pitcher out, diving to his right to snag a hard-hit line drive off the bat of Eric Hinske and almost tagging out A.J. Pollock for the double play.
Best quote
Hamilton, on his debut: "It was weird today, being in the dugout and having the uniform actually on. I walked by [Jered Weaver] and said, 'This is kind of weird.' He said, 'Yeah, it is — but I like it.'"
— Alden

Dare we blame it on Viagra? Is it another case of "there's no fool like an old fool?" Or was it a publicity stunt to sell magazines?
Hugh Hefner, the 85-year-old master satyr and founder of Playboy magazine was left standing at the altar last week by a woman young enough to be his granddaughter.
It's enough to send a grown man scurrying to the pages of the Playboy Advisor for a manly pep talk.
Crystal Harris, 25, the latest in Hef's never-ending string of bombshells, got cold feet three days before the nuptials were to take place.
The perpetually pajama-clad Hef may project a carefree image, but Harris - who is about to appear on the cover of Playboy - said her former fiancé runs too tight a schedule at Playboy Mansion for her tastes.
Apparently the old anything goes Playboy Philosophy departed when Hef suffered a stroke a while back. These days no one misses movie night, and there's a 9 o'clock curfew.
Hef said he was in love, but he had a very un-Playboy-like way of professing it. Crystal "deserves to be my widow," he said.
Since it's clear Hef is thinking about his eventual demise, perhaps he would do better to figure out how to avoid making a randy fool out of himself when he reaches the nursing home.
Hugh Hefner has had a long run, and it was a good one, too, but the swinging sixties are over. Now his act is pure self-parody. He should ask himself. Does he want to be remembered as the "kid who reinvented himself" to become a publisher who pushed the envelope and cultural icon or as a dirty old man.
Right now, dirty old man is winning.
Editorial: Jilted Hugh Hefner faces his mortality

Penn Twp. Supervisors voted 2 to 1 to appoint Jim Kocher to the Penn Twp. Municipal Authority (PTMA) at an Aug. 28 meeting. CeCe Novinger voted against the appointment.
Chairman Henry Holman, who said he'd taken Kocher off the board during a previous term, nominated Kocher. He said Kocher's location in Sunshine Hills would make him "an asset" during upcoming water system projects there.
According to Novinger, PTMA received a $140,000 Community Development Block Grant for installing 10 fire hydrants in Sunshine Hills. She said the authority also will apply for $500,000 in competitive funding for other work, such as new pipes and an aboveground water tank that must be done to the water system in Sunshine Hills over the next several years.
"That system is a dinosaur," she said. "You look at the whole thing and everything is needed. Where do you start?"
PTMA chose to replace fire hydrants first because of safety. Novinger said the current hydrants would not have enough flow for the fire company if a fire did occur in Sunshine Hills.
In other business, Charles Stoner and Randy Mlandoff asked the supervisors for help with getting approval to build a single-family dwelling on Rupp Road.
Mlandoff said he bought an 18-acre parcel in 2010 under the impression that he could build on it. According to solicitor P. Richard Wagner, there already are three lots off the 33-foot right of way that Mlandoff wanted to connect to, and the right of way would need to be 50 feet to allow another home.
Holman said the solution was to come to an agreement with the neighboring property to expand the right of way. "You got to get that 50-foot right of way," he said.
Supervisors also signed an agreement of responsibility for the electric bill on the traffic signal at Route 274 and Business Campus Way. Secretary Helen Klinepeter said she didn't know an estimated cost for the bill. The engineer recommended calling Marysville Borough to ask what their traffic light costs.
The traffic signal in Penn Twp. is scheduled to be operational at the end of October.

Rossi: Keep people safe, repair budget
Dino Rossi thought everybody drank powdered milk.
As the youngest of seven children, he was raised on a teacher's salary. When it came time to go to college, he found out he was wrong.
"The nay sayers said, 'Kid, you ain't going to college. You grew up in Mountlake Terrace drinking powdered milk," he recalled during a recent visit to the Overlake Rotary Club in Bellevue attended by more than 100 people.
Making his way through the school of business at Seattle University, he worked construction and even waxed floors at the Space Needle. Now, the former Washington state senator is on the dean's advisory board for the school of business because he didn't listen to those nay sayers.
In his race for governor against Gov. Chris Gregoire this year, he's still not listening, he says.
As part of the Rotary club's candidate forum series, Rossi looked ahead to the state's challenges he would tackle, including education, public safety, transportation and fiscal responsibility.
Last month's forum featured Gregoire, who reflected on the challenges the state has faced over the past four years she has spent as governor.
This time around, the playing field is different, Rossi said of this year's election.
With the debacle of the 2004 election, in which Rossi led Gregoire after two machine counts, before losing to a final manual count by 129 votes, the system has changed. The state now has a voter database that has wiped out more than 465,000 registrations off the voting rolls that shouldn't have been there, he said.
The last election also fueled a new "citizen's movement," where 67 percent of his contributors are new to the campaign. Ever since he made the announcement he would run again "this thing has been like drinking out of a fire house," Rossi said of his campaign.
Those supporters include several police guilds that have endorsed his campaign, including King County, Renton and Seattle.
Focusing on public safety, Rossi wants people to feel safe in their community. His incumbent's administration released more than 3,000 violent felons from prison early, three of whom killed police officers, he noted.
In addition, about 1,300 sex offenders are registered as homeless. As governor, Rossi said he will stop the early release of violent felons and track sex offender. Offenders would be required to register their DNA with the state and the most dangerous sex offenders would be outfitted with real-time GPS technology.
Concerning education, students are not being better prepared for math to compete with countries such as India and China, he said.
"It's because we're always concerned about what the adults are squabbling about, which often times really isn't in the best interest of the children," Rossi said.
He wants education reform that will put students first. Highlights of his plan include working with the state board of education to replace the WASL with America's best standardized test; requiring all students to pass the new standardized test and allowing only limited and rigorous alternatives and empowering local school principals by giving them the authority to remove underperforming teachers and the ability to establish new curriculum when a school has declining test scores for three consecutive years.
Rossi says his vision of what transportation should look like in the state is different than Gregoire's vision.
His is rooted in freedom to choose the preferred mode of transportation, whether it be car, bus or bike.
"You shouldn't be forced into a governor-approved sanctioned mode of transportation," he said. "My opponent has said that we need to force people out of their cars."
Also, calling it an "urban-centric point of view," Rossi said his opposition wants to toll the 520 bridge next year as much as $14 during peak hours.
"I don't believe that only rich people should be allowed to drive," he added.
He has come up with a $15 billion transportation plan that includes such projects as adding several more lanes to Interstate 405, finishing Highway 167 all the way to the Port of Tacoma "so you can actually get those containers off of I-5," and finishing Highway 509.
As for 520, he proposes to build the pontoons out to eight lanes to provide for greater access and capacity.
According to the state Department of Transportation, congestion is costing the state more than $600 million a year, he said. Something has to be done or the economy will fail, Rossi added.
And the state can do it without raising taxes, he said. It can use the revenue stream from the 40 percent sales tax generated from car sales.
Rossi also hopes to repair the state budget and vows to be more fiscally responsible. The incumbent, he says, has increased the size of the state budget by over 33 percent, which is the equivalent of $5.7 million a day in new spending.
"She's blown through the biggest surplus the state has ever know at $2.1 billion," he said of Gregoire, adding, "If everything goes right in Olympia, she will have managed to turn it into a $2.7 billion deficit for the next governor to face."
Rossi said has balanced a deficit like this before in 2003 while a chairman on the Senate Ways and Means Committee during the largest dollar deficit in state history - a huge advantage he has in this race, he added.
"Rarely in life do we get a second chance," he said. "Well folks, with this race for governor, Washington state gets a second chance."

Ken Ham, left, and Bill Nye will debate creationism tomorrow night.Is creationism a valid theory to explain the Earth's origins or not? That will be the topic of debate Tuesday at the Creation Museum in Kentucky between creation apologist Ken Ham and science educator Bill Nye. The event is being touted by Answers in Genesis, Ham's organization, as the debate of the decade. Since the debate is in Kentucky and tickets have long been sold out, Answers in Genesis will broadcast the debate at 6 p.m. tomorrow night at debatelive.org so you can make that assessment yourself.
The debate will also be broadcast for the hearing impaired at www.debateliveASL.org. You can register here to receive updates and reminders about the broadcast.
Go here to see Ken Ham's blog post about the debate. Bill Nye's website is seriously outdated but he still tweets occasionally. Go here to see his Twitter account.
In December Creation Museum announced children can tour the site for free in 2014. The move is an effort to counteract evolutionist theories according to Ham and others with AIG. Go here to learn more.
Once again the link to watch tomorrow night: http://debatelive.org/
Some groups or individuals may have previously purchased a live stream viewing option, AIG is in the process of refunding those purchases.

Pencil Shavings Turned into Illustrations by Marta Altes
Community member
If you watch a children's cartoon or remember a childhood fairytale, you're bound to feel a rush of positive emotions. That's exactly what you feel after seeing the cute pictures by Marta Altes, who combines simple pen drawings with bits of pencil shavings. This children´s book illustrator with a Cambridge degree found a way to make something beautiful out of what most of us would consider trash. [Read more...]

1. Get real
"They overestimated their abilities and underestimated how long things really take," says Davis. "That's a common mistake." You should also know what specialized gear your route requires, such as rope and an ice axe.
2. Do your homework
"They made a critical error by failing to study maps," says Speik. "A call to the ranger might have revealed Pole Creek Trail as the best approach and pinpointed the climber's route that leads to the summit."
3. Use trails
"Bushwhacking is always a bad call when there's an approach trail going to your objective," says Davis. "There is no such thing as a shortcut in the backcountry." If you do need to go off-trail, be smart.
4. Practice at home
"Their GPS unit didn't malfunction," says Speik. "The users did." Learning to use a GPS is best done near home, where there's no penalty for mistakes. Also, pack extra batteries and a backup compass.
5. Leave word
"Cone and Zimmerman even botched the 'travel-itinerary-given-to-friends' part," says Hill. Tell someone you trust your license plate number, where you'll park, your route, when you'll call to say you're safe, and who to call if you don't.

Re: "Obama: Long slog still in Afghanistan: But he reports some progress in war," Page A7, Dec. 17.
When President Barack Obama visited the troops in Afghanistan on Dec. 3, he told them they were making progress. On Dec. 16, he repeated his assessment of progress. And Defense Secretary Robert Gates agreed, stating "the sense of progress among those closest to the fight is palpable."
This is self-serving, delusional nonsense. With 155 American troops killed in 2008, 317 in 2009 and 480 by mid-December of 2010, this escalation is called progress? I call it progressively worse.
More than 6,000 American troops have died in Afghanistan in Iraq in the past 10 years. Double this number to include the seriously wounded. And what has been accomplished?
Contrary to verbiage by the administration and others, it is not a war that can be won. Whether we eventually leave in 2011, 2014 or 2024, the enemy will emerge like rats in an abandoned warehouse -- if not there, then perhaps Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia or elsewhere.
The notion that we remain there until Afghan security forces are trained to take over is ridiculous. Equally absurd is the repeated position that we are fighting terrorists there so we won't have to fight them here.
Wasn't Vietnam a sufficient lesson?

I was driving a dead road on the northern part of Ohio, and I turned the radio on; the radio host said something interesting.
"We haven't had a championship in this town since, like, the 1800s, I don't know what's up. Maybe there's an Indian buried in Cleveland and we need to dig him up. Something to release this championship dry spell for Cleveland."
So that got me to thinking: Is there really a curse or bad omen in Cleveland?
Now, I am not one to get into the hysteria of curses (leave that to the Boston-Chicago fans), but I noticed that Cleveland has had some very interesting things happen to them recently.
To stay recent, I will go from 2004 to the present, sticking with the main three: football, basketball, and baseball.
Cleveland Indians
2004: The Indians rebuilding program is beginning to work. The players in the minors that would eventually become all-stars are developing nicely and get shots at roster spots; this would have a huge impact on the next year. Final Record: 80-82, no playoff berth.
2005: Miss the playoffs by a few games, get taken out in the final week but had one of the better teams in the MLB. With players like Travis Hafner, Jhonny Peralta, Bob Wickman, Bob Howry, Cliff Lee, Coco Crisp, and CC Sabathia having break-out seasons. This was also the year Kevin Millwood lead the majors in ERA. Final Record: 93-69.
2006: A young kid by the name of Grady Sizemore showed the baseball world what he had in his second season with the Indians; he had a breakout year. Martinez and Hafner stayed consistent. However, they wouldn't have the same success they had the year before and would not contend for a playoff berth. Final Record: 78-84.
2007: After having their hearts broken in 2006, the Indians came in 2007 looking for a playoff berth and a title, the Indians did great in the regular season, CC won the Cy Young, and all was looking great in Cleveland. The Indians dominated the New York Yankees in the first round of the playoffs. The Indians were up 3-1 to the Boston Red Sox.
Unfortunately for Cleveland, it's the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox pull a 2004 miracle and come back after being down 3-1 (came back 3-0 against New York in 04') eventually won the series 4-3, and would go on to win the World Series, a soul crusher in Cleveland. To this day, Cleveland fans believe we should have won the series. Final Record: 96-66.
2008: Cleveland could not duplicate the success they had in 2007 and had a very rough start to 2008; however, the Indians would get very hot at the end the year. This marked the second year in a row an Indian lefty won the Cy Young Award in Cliff Lee. The Indians, however, would not sniff the playoffs and came in third place in the AL Central in the 2008 season. Final Record: 81-81.
World Series Titles: 1920 vs. the Brooklyn (LA now) Dodgers and 1948 against the Boston Braves (Red Sox now)
Cleveland Browns:
2004: A lot of hype this year as the Browns draft K2 (Kellen Winslow Jr); the Browns also had Jeff Garcia at QB and Browns fans were looking forward to a playoff berth. The Browns started strong beating the Ravens 20-3 in the first game; however, that would not help the Browns, as they would begin a losing streak that never seemed to end. Final Record: 4-12.
2005: A new coach out of New England was the head coach for the Browns that year. Romeo Crennell was coming from the Patriots, looking to make a statement in football.
Too bad for him he chose the Cleveland Browns.
Crennel's first season saw it's ups and downs. Charlie Frye, the next franchise QB, suffered an injury; Trent Dilfer would have to start. Kellen Winslow would also suffer an injury and the team would struggle. They improved despite all these woes and Romeo Crennell's first season with the Browns may in fact have been considered a success. Final Record 6-10.
2006: This was the year we saw both Frye and Anderson starting. There were some good moments this season, the Browns were able to shut down Falcons QB Michael Vick. Frye lead the team down by three scores with his three TDs to win the Browns a game.
The defense started to look better. However, the Browns success this season was very minimal, as the Browns would once again have a losing season. Final Record: 4-12.
2007: With Frye gone and the newly drafted Brady Quinn taking the second string quarterback spot, the Browns were looking forward to the 2007 season.
This was also the year offensive lineman Joe Thomas was drafted and proved to be a very smart pick. Anderson would prove he is worth another shot and have a great season this year; Brady Quinn would just have to wait.
The Browns ended the season very successfully, but it wasn't enough for a playoff berth. The Browns would lose to the Titans as the Wild Card selection. Final Record: 10-6.
2008: With Cleveland fans still shouting foul from last year, the Browns were looking to make a comeback. Anderson, Winslow, and Edwards were all coming off career years and the offense was looking better than ever.
The Browns would not contend again this year.
Anderson slowed down, and Edwards led the league in dropped passes. With fans now calling for the heads of Anderson and Crennell, the front office responded with Crennell's firing and Eric Mangini replacing him. Fans are still demanding we see what Brady Quinn has and if he can be our franchise QB, but the question remains: Will Quinn start in '09? Final Record: 4-12.
Championships: 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1964
Cleveland Cavaliers
2004-2005: LeBron's second year with the Cavaliers started off a success. However, after the all-star break, the Cavaliers would begin to fall apart. With no improvements before the trade deadline, the Cavaliers eventually fell after leading the Central Division for so long. The Cavaliers would not make the playoffs this year. Final Record 42-40.
2005-2006: Insert Mike Brown, as this is his first chance to coach the rising Cleveland Cavaliers. GM Danny Ferry, as he would go on to sign players Larry Hughes, and Donyell Marshall in hope of providing some support for LeBron James.
It worked, as the Cavaliers improved from last year.
The Cavaliers made it to the playoffs, and boy, LeBron showed that he didn't need much help, leading them to the Conference Finals. After taking a series lead 3-2, it seemed like this year was the year the Cavaliers would overtake the Pistons.
What the Cavaliers didn't expect is the Pistons to come out firing and would eventually lose the next two games as the Cavaliers lost to the Pistons 4-3 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Final Record: 50-32.
2006-2007: The Cavaliers would once again be an impact on the Eastern Conference, as they played well in the regular season once again on the back of LeBron James. The Cavaliers made it to the NBA playoffs again.
This time, the Wizards would prove to be a much easier task, as they easily won the series. The Nets were next giving the Cavaliers some problems. However, LeBron would prove too much for them in the end. The Cavaliers would then go on to face the Spurs.
The Spurs would sweep the Cavs 4-0 to win the NBA championship, and so ends the hope of a title returning to Cleveland. Final Record: 50-32.
2007-2008: Coming into the 2007-2008 season, the Cavs were finally ready to take home that title and bring Cleveland their first championship in a long time.
The season went good but not as good as the past two years. Overall, Cleveland played nicely in the playoffs as well. However, they lost in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals to the Boston Celtics, who would go on to win it all.
The series lasted seven games and was very well played. Cleveland would have to wait yet again to return to the Finals. Final Record: 45-37.
NBA Champions: 0
Yes, the radio host was wrong. Our last championship didn't come in the 1800s, it came in 1964. However, he still makes a solid point—it has been a while since the city of Cleveland has seen a championship.
It almost makes you wonder what's in store for the future of Cleveland Sports. Even though we have put some good teams on the field, we still have yet to win a championship.
When will Cleveland win a championship next? Who knows, but when they do, I am sure it will be huge.

Lessons in Obedience
by Lucy Golden
She carefully closed the door so that our voices could not be heard by the other guests.
"Please, Mr Mortensen, not that. I don't want all the others to see me with nothing on, specially not bending over like that. If you really have to cane me, couldn't we wait until they've gone? Please?"
What would you do if a young woman arrived unannounced on your doorstep one day to atone for someone else's sins? And what if you detected, simmering beneath a sweetly naive outward diffidence, a talent, an aptitude and a willingness that it would have been sheer waste not to nurture?
Faced with that challenge, Alex Mortensen starts carefully to guide his pupil out from the darkness towards richness and fulfilment, resolved to share with her the vast wealth of sensual pleasures that have always featured in his own life. But this is a pupil with a particular aptitude and enthusiasm for her lessons, one who relishes every new twist to which she is subjected. So what should the tutor do when she learns so fast, catches him up and threatens to overtake? When he can trust her, but can no longer trust himself?
Ultimately, whose tale is it? Which is the teacher and which the pupil?
In the twelve years since first publication, Lessons in Obedinece has become a modern classic of erotic literature with a following across the globe.

As the latest winter storm rolls in, city of Jamestown workers will be working to be sure the roads remain safe for travel.
The city works in three eight-hour shifts, to keep the streets as clear as possible. According to Jeff Lehman, director of public works, half of the department's workers are in between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. From 2 p.m. until 10 p.m., a skeleton crew - consisting of a foreman who answers phones and two salt trucks - works. Then, the other half of the department's workers clear the roads from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m.
"What happens is, if we get a snowstorm at night, we bring guys in four hours early, or (workers stay) four hours late on the other end," Lehman said. "We can bring a full crew in at any time, but if we bring them in, that is overtime. Basically, the weather dictates. When it gets to the point where it looks like we need to start plowing, that's when we start bringing on the additional crew."

With a winter storm warning in effect until 10 a.m. today, Lehman anticipated bringing the plows out earlier than 10 p.m. Wednesday evening. And, bringing crews out early means overtime for those employees. Although the department budgets for snowstorms each year, bringing in extra crews can become costly.
According to Lehman, the street plowing process is a two-day affair with the city's alternate parking, because plows can only reach one side of the road at a time.
"We do get to the other side of the street where we can, but you can't get the whole side that they're parking on," Lehman said. "So, when the changeover occurs, all of a sudden that side of the street is a mess again, so we have to send the guys out for one more round, typically, to clean up the other side of the alternate parking."
The biggest thing people can do to ensure their street is cleared properly, Lehman said, is to be sure to move vehicles to the opposite side of the street in a timely manner.
Additionally, people are able to call the city any time at 483-7558 to report problem streets. However, Lehman asks that people practice patience when waiting for a road to be cleared.
"We've got 150 miles of streets to be plowed, and they're out there," Lehman said. "We have 12 plow routes. It takes a full eight-hour shift or more to get through a route once. The biggest thing is, is people moving their cars. That helps us the most."
Even with city and county crews working around the clock to be sure streets are safe for travel, winter weather occasionally comes with travel advisories.
Cattaraugus County Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb issued an advisory against unnecessary travel within the county until 6 a.m. today. Whitcomb advised that snow and ice on the roads had created dangerous conditions, with multiple accidents within Cattaraugus County.

Did everyone jump off the Akamai (Nasdaq: AKAM ) bandwagon when I was on vacation last month? Apparently. Here's how Standard & Poor's analyst Scott Kessler put it in yesterday's edition of The Wall Street Journal: "In the past, there was some justification for Akamai's high stock because it operated in a near-monopoly, but it's different today. It's too expensive even now." (Emphasis mine.)
With all due respect to Kessler and S&P -- surely among the very best in the analyst biz -- you've got to be freaking kidding me, right? Didn't he read the earnings report? Doesn't he know this business gushes cash?
Oh, look, I landed on Boardwalk!
To be fair, Kessler was referring to both Akamai and Limelight Networks (Nasdaq: LLNW ) , which soared 48% on the day of its June IPO. That stock has since struggled, thanks mostly to a string of less-than-perfect earnings reports. Yet revenue growth continues to top 40%.
Part of the problem, Kessler and others reason, is increasing competition. For example, Level 3 Networks (Nasdaq: LVLT ) , which owns miles of its own fiber, has promised to slash costs on content delivery services. Akamai, Limelight, and Level 3 are all competing for lucrative streaming-video deals.
There's also InterNAP (Nasdaq: INAP ) , which was an Akamai partner before buying VitalStream. Like Limelight, it had been on a tear, regularly reporting revenue gains greater than 30%. But in Q3, it narrowly missed Street revenue estimates, and the shares took a hit.
See the pattern here? Even if the Street isn't satisfied, Akamai and its peers are sprouting like weeds on Miracle-Gro. More on that in a minute.
How to do what Akamai does
First, let's deconstruct the three most prevalent myths in which Akamai bears place so much faith:
- Everyone does what Akamai does. This myth is mostly perpetuated by analysts like Kessler, who assume that Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , which now hosts some content at Google News, could kill Akamai if it chose to host more. Anyone with a network, these folks reason, could be an Akamai competitor. They're only partly right -- there's a lot more to Akamai than the 28,000 servers it has deployed around the globe. More on that below.
- Akamai's network is out of date. This myth is perpetuated by Limelight and up-and-comers such as BitTorrent and BitGravity. But it depends on a fundamental misunderstanding of what Akamai does and doesn't do. Akamai is neither a data-center operator nor a broadband reseller. It is a software company, built upon a custom algorithm that monitors the Web and determines the best path for data. Forget the network; remember the software.
- There aren't enough customers to go around. This myth arises from news reports like the one that revealed that Limelight is broadening a content delivery deal with Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) . But Limelight's gain isn't Akamai's loss. Firms often split duty among content networks, for the same reason investors spread capital among several different stocks: the security that diversification provides.
How do you do, AkaGoo?
So, to review, here's what we know:
- Akamai and its peers are growing very fast, which suggests the content delivery market as a whole is still in its infancy.
- No one does exactly what Akamai does, and because its business is based on software, it can be tuned and improved very quickly. (And often is.)
Now, if this is all true, the best way to think of Akamai is to think of Google. Look at the parallels:
- Both operate in a business that's easy to enter but hard to perfect.
- Both dominate the markets they serve.
- Both are easily misunderstood.
- Both are built on a software algorithm that can be rapidly tuned, and which enables the creation of new services.
I know what you're thinking: I've just proved Kessler's point, because DoubleGoo, like Akamai, is expensive. But is it? I'm not so sure:
2008 Projected P/E
Not avail.
Level 3 Networks
What do you know? Akamai, when comparing its projected earnings to its long-term expected growth rate, which can be an excellent strategy, isn't quite the bargain InterNAP is, but it's also pretty darn cheap.
Color me unsurprised. Rocket stocks like Akamai are very often the cheapest you'll find. Not that you'll ever hear that from the Street. They're too busy making sure their own expectations are met.
Be glad when Akamai fails to comply. It's times like those when the most money gets made. Times like, you know, now.
