1980 Schedule/Results (3-6):
Kevin Grayson, TE (1983 NIFA 1st Team)
In 1980 Kevin Grayson and Jack Lawless came up with the idea for creating a semi-pro football team for entry into the Northwest International Football Association (NIFA) following a mid-winter West Seattle High School alumni game in 1979. For the first time since the 40's, West Seattle had a semi-pro team.
The new kids would take on a daunting task in the 40-year old Seattle Cavaliers. West Seattle, who played the 1980 season without a nickname as a publicity stunt, took the Cavs to the wire finally losing 7-6 after a 2-pt try failed following a Bob Besaw's first TD in franchise history on a 1-yd sneak with 32 seconds remaining in the game. The following day, Lawless took the team for a Sunday game against the North Shore League's Vancouver team where they lost 20-13.
A 14-13 loss to Skagit saw the Warhawks again try for the game winner with less than a minute to go, on a Dan Hottowe field goal attempt from 41-yards that missed wide.
The teams first win came against the British Columbia Panthers who came to West Seattle Stadium with only 13 players.
An easy win against the Puget Sound Knights where Kevin Grayson caught 4 passes for 158 yards and 2 TDs, was followed by a close loss to the Knights the following week and a two-point loss to the Cavaliers after a high snap on a FG try forced Besaw to throw into the endzone on the final drive where it was picked off preserving the Cavalier win.
In 1981 the Warhawks nickname was added after a contest was held to name the team. They picked up Don Curley, George Williams, and James Brown from the defunct Burien Flyers and had Dario Casarino punting after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles and from the USFL as a New Orleans/Portland Breaker.
After defeating West Seattle 22-12 earlier, the Raiders turned the ball over on their final 5 possessions of the game to allow the Warhawks to take a 32-20 win. Skagit Valley would avenge that loss with a 19-3 victory in the NIFA playoffs holding the Warhawks to only 7 first downs, and a horrible punting day by Dario Casarino who had punts of 18 and 29 after averaging nearly 45 yards per punt throughout the season.
When the Vikings moved to Ilwaco to start the 1983 season, the Warhawks gained John Peterman and Al Bessette. '83 also marked the debut of Harry Washington who would go on to star with the Auburn Panthers.
By 1984 the Warhawks had a reputation of being the "Los Angeles Raiders of the Northwest". Brawls were common place and scathing editorials by Lee Miller of the West Seattle Herald were printed calling the team "bush". An Aug 11 game turned ugly when Seattle Police were left helpless as a helmet-swinging melee broke out following taunts between players as children milled around with players. This was the second fight of the game and it's believed was started because of frustrations over playing time and looming cuts coming from the Warhawks as they entered league play in the new Northwest Football Alliance.
Phil Pompeo, formerly of the King County Vikings, surfaced as offensive coordinator in 1983 under Lawless after being fired unceremoniously by Viking GM Lee Johnston towards the end of the '82 season. Al Burleson, a member of the 1983 Los Angeles Express (USFL) was brought in as defensive coordinator.
Pompeo and Burleson set out to clean up the image of the Warhawks and bring discipline to what many called an out-of-control team.
In 1985 Lawless makes his exit and Burleson takes over the head coaching position. By 1986 he has the Warhawks off to their best start at 3-1 with their only loss to 2-season unbeaten Auburn. Nick Straub breaks his foot and is unavailable to kick extra points against the Eastside Express and the Warhawks lose 7-6. The following week the team was blanked by the Salem Stars and internal strife had begun tearing the team apart at the seams. Burleson and Jacoway were at each others' throats and on Monday Burleson had resigned as head coach saying he was not getting support from management and felt "backstabbed" by GM Randy Jacoway. Jacoway had overstepped his bounds on the sidelines according to Burleson by yelling at players and giving "coaching" advice. When Jacoway spoke with reporters he dismissed any concern about Burleson and the rest of the staff and players expected to leave as well, indicating he was going to demote Al to defensive coordinator anyway and take over coaching himself which he did the following week. The Warhawks would go 3-3 under Jacoway including a playoff shut out to the Raiders whom Burleson's team had beaten 40-6 earlier in the season.
The 1987 season was one of complete change for the Warhawks who dropped the "West Seattle" designate in favor of "South End" indicating their new playing locations of Renton and Highline Stadiums. B.L. Jones became the GM and former Seahawks Eddie McMillan and Richard Harris were hired as head coach and assistant coach respectively. The team would eventually be the Southside Warhawks and it's history continues here: Southside Warhawks.

[G u e s t P o s t] There is no doubt that cloud is an important resource for the enterprise CIO to use when building or extending their data centers. The cloud can be on-premises, within your colocation, or hosted by one of the growing public cloud vendors. Over the past few years I have been deeply involved in discussions about the great changes experienced by the enterprise IT.
[G u e s t P o s t] As discussed in my previous post, there are many issues that tag along with the concept of a traditional office space. However, the constant interruptions, distractions and whole slew of other obstacles that keep us from having a productive work day have finally met their match with the implementation of DevOps and remotely distributed 'office' cultures. With a few simple tools, your office can do a complete 180 in terms of its level of employee satisfaction and consequently, productivity.

(Round-trip)Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)
more lesscoffee was horrible
more lessThe service in Lester b Pearson airport was unprofessional and sub standard by your employee Manija Anwarzada and her shift workers. They did not help me when I missed my flight to Pittsburgh because of our late arrival from Frankfurt. She and the others were not there to assist and help stranded passengers. In fact a couple of the staff were on cell phones and not helping passengers. She finally told us we had to go downstairs to the hall since her counter was closing. After traveling from Algiers to Frankfurt then on to Canada it was a terrible way to end the day. These emoyess made a very long day even longer. I will never fly Air Canada again. I will say once I got through customs there were more professional people who did at least get me a hotel room. Your employee has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Air Canada!
more lessNot much
We paid cash for business class seats on this flight and they were terrible seats. They were NOT business class, they did not recline and there was no leg room. Nothing offered to drink upon boarding. All they did was take economy class seats, three wide, and put a thing on the middle seat to hold drinks. It was terrible and we will avoid Lufthansa in the future, and we travel a lot.
more lessAll.
more lessI liked everything about the flight except how the layover was handled. The original aircraft for the leg of the flight from Doha to L.A. had to be changed, and it seemed like confusion descended, and 2 hours later, we were finally boarded on the new aircraft.
The added time to my layover was hard because it was unexpected, and was handled poorly, in my opinion.
more lessLeft on time with no delays.
Delayed in airplane upon landing in Rome. Barely enough time for connecting flight.
more lessUncomfortable seats, mine had a giant metal box under the seat in front of me, so unable to properly place feet for a 9 hr flight. Flight attendants were blind when anyone needed attention.
more lessI flew with multiple international airlines this summer and KLM was by far the best. The crew of KLM were exceptionally attentive, polite, and helpful. The meals were by far the most enjoyable of my airplane travel meals; and I learned that KLM does not charge for it's drinks on international flights, unlike most other international airlines that I traveled with this summer. In a sentence, flying with KLM was a very pleasant experience and I will recommend this airlines to others.
If I were going to list any negatives, I would say that the little travel pillow that was given to the passengers was so thin that it was practically useless, but I brought my own with me, so I was none the less comfortable.
more lessNothing really
The Amsterdam airport is super disorganized, with rude employees great at making excuses for their incompetence. The boarding crew really struggled to organized the boarding and wouldn't really care about people's status. We had to take a bus to the airplane, and even though both plane's entrances were open, they sent everybody to the front entrance. The comfort of the plane was horrendous, with seats over 20 years old and their business class was the same as the coach, but with no one sitting in the middle (can you get any lower than this?) The flight attendant woke me up to shove a food tray that I didn't want. We had to wait over 45 minutes after the plane landing to start seeing some luggage show up on the conveyor bell. The overall flight experience make southwest look like a luxury airline. This was my first and last time flying on KLM.
more lessService of the staff was great
Turbulence, with all our technology we still cannot avoid this?
more lessThe crew on this flight was great and there were lots of current movies to watch
Why do the airlines makes you walk through first class and then premium economy to get to standard economy? That is a set up for failure.
more lessMy Kosher meal never made it on-board. The cabin (and the airport) were way too cold
more lessDuring my first flight from East Midlands England to Amsterdam I lost my baggage by another airlines and the KLM crew was very dedicated and supportive until they found it and check in for me... Many thanks and I wouldn't forget it.
more lessGood all-around service from boarding to landing!
No alcoholic beverages on the flight! RJ does not upgrade silver or gold frequent flyer card holders for free even if there are open business class seats. The only time a free upgrade is provided is if the economy class is over sold.
more lessOn time
more lessNever got on this flight. We were never given an email to self check in, and we're unable to board 45 mins before at the gate coming frim anotthe flight. They overbooked this flight & sold our tickets, and then told us we couldn't get on flight. Now we are out $2500 buying new tix!
All the above. A simple check in email would have averted this problem. All the other airlines do this. We were under the presumption that we had to check in at airport when we didn't get check-in notice. Furthermore, they sold our tickets, so we're down $2500 and they doubled their profit. It would be hard for me to say I will use Air Canada or kayak in the future.
more lessThe crew is very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent.
Delayed three hours in Amsterdam then caused me to miss my connecting flight to Seattle. Then they only gave me the option of being late a day. On top of all that they lost my luggage. Time to retire that 767.
more lessThe gate agent helped half a dozen people (not including those described below) understand they were boarding with the wrong group.
Fully one-quarter of the passengers boarded as disability or premium. This included a party of eight that boarded with one person in a wheelchair because "We're all together."
more lessboarding and gate agent were superb
temperature in the cabin was hot enough to roast a turkey
more lessEverything
more lessQatar airways took our hand baggage a along with other bags which made our journey comfortable.
We did not get our baggage a on arriving at Houston. We had to claim for unrecoverable bags.which will be delivered within 36 to 48 hours.
more lessFood quality need little bit improvements. Did not have enough juice I asked for and some food were really cold and some food had too much minty flavor I had asian vegetarian dish.

He looks rather happy. I wonder what about? I hope he isn't smiling about being lost, because he does that a lot. |
Day 28: Completed. Ok, one face left, but I'll finish it tomorrow, since I want it to be painted! Ok, have a wonderful day everyone!
He looks rather happy. I wonder what about? I hope he isn't smiling about being lost, because he does that a lot. |
She looks a bit more like a cat doesn't she? Sorta figures, she is the lead researcher in the story she's involved in. So Saffy's naturally curious, not so much about robots, but everything else. |
His name is Hayaki, and he always seems to have this annoyed look on his face when anyone talks to him. |
Since they all act more like a family, it seemed fitting to draw them in casual clothes. Probably helps when the two on the right are actually related. |
Hmm.. Another blondie. Anyone want to take a guess as to the next persons hair colour? |
How old does she look in this picture? I tried to make her look older, but she always seems to have a young face. I'm sure it from spending so much time soaking in springs... |
This guy's name in Minoru. The zipper can be detached and used as a shuriken (explaining it's shape) |
Poor poor Davi (not really). Zakhar looks rather smug about it doesn't he? |
Doesn't he look fascinating? Want to know what the stripes are about? Well I'm not telling~! It's a secret, for now anyway. When I sort out the story, I might post it bit by bit on here (maybe) |
... He's from Brazil, I'm not sure where in Brazil but he's from there. How does he look? |
Doesn't he look smart? Does he look like an adult? When I told Mum that he was an artist, she said "No wonder he is good looking" |
I wonder... How old does she look to you?? I try very hard to draw adult-aged characters, but I'm never sure how they really look... |
"It may look like it's withering in pain, and was brutally tortured with fire before it was thrown up in the air and dropped a few times for good measure, but I assure you, it is still toast and has all it's original nutrition value. It's just a little bit burnt and it didn't hit the floor anymore than two times. So eat it, or else she will pass it off to one of us. And you will never hear the end of it."
Does she look a bit like a boy? Maybe her hair should be a bit longer... Or is there something else I can do?? |
I'll tell you what he does. He doesn't give her the gift, instead he tells his best friend's sister to give it to her (and not say it's from him) |
Don't worry about the look he is giving you. He gives that look to everybody that comes too close when he is eating. |
Another sketch, I hope the picture is good enough for you all to see him and the weapon. |
He trains birds and is the first to know about many things outside his home/town.
Seems like he is the one Kiyo is peeved at. Yes, that's a scar over his right eye. |
That's them! Each face was just one part of the whole image! Was it a neat idea? |
Kiyo gets into a lot of fights with enemies, he has a scar on his stomach from when he was tortured and trains all animals in tracking and fighting. He has a wolf as a partner.
Naoko specialises in tracking down people and can see chakra from a great distance.
Sasumu trains birds and is the first to know about many things outside his village because his family are the people that look after the messenger birds and aviary.
He looks a little bit peeved doesn't he? Wonder who at... |
Kiyo gets into a lot of fights, as a scar on his stomach and trains all types of animals (except birds).Ok, talk to you in the next post!
It's a simple drawing, but it suits her (at least I think so) |
I'll put in a better picture tomorrow, but this will do for now. Are they cute? |
You know what? It looks better in real life. I'll see if I can get a better picture later (when I don't have two parents yelling at me to do work (even though I want a break from working all day)!). |
She is a 13 year-old pirate. She also lives up to her name. If she is beaten or knocked down in a fight, she'll spring right back up with more energy. |
She's actually drawn on brown cardboard, so I'm curious as to how it seemed more white when I took the picture... She's also meant to have a really small smile, can you see it? |
I have this creeping feeling that I messed up his skin colour, but it might be because the background isn't the yellow I originally wanted it to be... |
Light. I wonder who or what she is smiling at... |

Ramey Hyde Vineyard Carneros-Napa Chardonnay 2006
Winemaker's Notes:
INSIDER SCOOP: This wine is breathtaking! While the Wine Spectator (below) rated 94 we just sampled and can assure you this wine is a �Classic 95+� points! Wow. WINE SPECTATOR �OUTSTANDING 94� RATING: �A lovely integration of seductive smoky vanilla oak with vibrant peach- and pear-laced fruit enlivened by zingy acidity. A full-blown yet elegant and delicious Chardonnay. Drink now through 2011.�J.L.�
External Reviews for Ramey Hyde Vineyard Carneros-Napa Chardonnay
Greenish yellow. Vibrant aromas of lime, lemongrass, powdered stone and anise. At once supple and energetic in the mouth, with impressive precision to the peach, citrus and smoky mineral flavors. Tightly wound and taut but not austere, showing a distinct spiciness on the back half. Lively citrus and mineral flavors carry through a rising, spicy finish. These grapes are sourced from four different blocks, all of them planted to the Wente clone, according to Ramey.
Flavors of lemon cream, star fruit, white peaches, and graham crackers all come together and remain focused and balanced by a lively acidity that seduces and inspires. This wine is just now coming into its own and will continue to last for the next few years. The finish is smooth and complex, and continues long after you swallow. The wine is massive and yet still remains refined and in perfect harmony. This wine is perfect for any and all occasions.
Medium yellow. Knockout nose combines lime blossom, soft citrus notes, pear and white flowers. Sweet, juicy and penetrating, with highly complex flavors of soft citrus fruits, lime, peach, nectarine, flowers and mint. At once solid and vibrant. Finishes with palate-staining persistence and terrific grip. A great California chardonnay.
The brilliant 2007 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard reveals lots of nectarine, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and citrus oil notes intertwined with good acidity, considerable minerality, and a full-bodied, fresh finish with no evidence of wood.
Yellow-gold. Stunningly nuanced aromas of smoky lemon, lime, poached pear, licorice and iodine complicated by dusty talc and white flowers. Impressively chewy and deeply concentrated, offering strong citrus and orchard fruit flavors underscored by smoky minerals and succulent herbs. This extremely complex wine has the concentration and balance to reward patience.
Bright gold. Energetic aromas of green apple, jasmine, minerals and lemon zest. Dry and nervy, with brisk acidity and a saline nuance giving energy and lift to its citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Vibrant and impressively pure chardonnay, finishing spicy, long and dry, with an intriguing floral quality.
Normally I see more stylistic differences between the Hudson and Hyde Chardonnays, but in 2008, they are more similar than usual. The 2008 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard reveals a fragrant bouquet of caramelized citrus, tropical fruits and subtle smoke as well as medium to full-bodied flavors, good acidity and a crisp mouthfeel. Drink it over the next 4ndash;6 years.

It's October in New York City again and for thousands upon thousands of pop culture junkies, comic book fans, gamers, toy freaks, cosplayers and movie addicts that means one thing – New York City Comic Con. The annual event, put on by the folks at Reed Pop, is by far the biggest event of its kind on the East Coast and the second biggest convention of its kind in the country. Once again held at (and completely filling) the massive Jacob Javitz Convention Center in Manhattan, the even began Thursday, October 9th, and it continues through tomorrow, October 12th.
Below is the first of four photo galleries highlighting some of the events, dealers, guests and 'everything else' that makes this convention worth going to time and time again. Yes, it's hectic. Yes, there are long lines and ridiculous crowds and YES, someone will inevitably step on your foot every five minutes, but New Yorkers are used to that. More important than that is that the convention, just like last year, remains a positive, friendly and inspiring experience for scores of attendees. Reed Pop does a very good job with crowd control and with keeping things organized and running smoothly and for a convention as big as this one is, NYCC runs pretty damn smoothly.
But enough about that, let's get down to it. Upon entering the main convention hall, if you look to your left you can't help but notice the MASSIVE Batman logo hanging over top of the suit display that DC Comics was sponsoring. More on that in a bit but here's the hanging logo…
…and then when you turn to the other side, it's hard not to be impressed with the size and scope of this event. That Walking Dead banner has got to be fifty feet wide!
Depending on what you're after your choice in entrances may vary. Personally, I always enjoy wandering 'The Block' which is typically where the oddball toy, art and fashion vendors hang out and peddle their wares. Here you can find anything from angry looking Totoro art prints…
…to Swatch watches!
The vendors here have got all sorts of great stuff, like prints featuring Emo Hitler framed in pink alongside Conan, Mr. T., Spock and Boba Fett.
They also host signings and events in this space. The Art Spoke booth, for example, had an event with Nimit Malavia planned for Saturday afternoon.
This part of the con is just fun to walk. You might run into a Mighty Ducks werewolf…
…or you might be tempted by art prints featuring Doctor Who, Wolverine, Daryl from The Walking Dead or… Bill Murray.
If you're into fairies for whatever reason, this is the place to stock up on wands, fairy dust, elf ears and horns!
Moving towards the main convention hall it was neat to see the good people at Kino set up and selling Blu-ray copies of classics like Metropolis and Nosferatu but also offering up some of the cool recent releases from Scorpion Releasing like Stone's Seizure and Killer Fish.
Troma always seems to have a presence at the con, and this year was no exception. They had a few plush Toxie's left over from the San Diego Con available alongside plenty of DVDs and Blu-ray's and Lloyd Kaufman did a signing in the afternoon but probably more impressive was the Toxie busts that were on display.
If you needed more proof that this is more than just a comic book event, well, Medieval Times had a booth setup.
And check out the Space Wolf booth. What's going on there? I do not know. I got in a little early and no one was there yet but it definitely involves space and wolves.
SMS was on hand too, showing off their licensed Star Wars headphones with a little help from a certain droid.
The people are freakyelegant.com had a booth set up featuring…. this.
No idea what was happening there but Stone Cold looks like he's in trouble. The biggest display in The Block area belonged to none other than WETA. Peter Jackson's New Zealand based effects company had some seriously cool stuff going on, particularly for Lord Of The Rings fans. Not only did the huge dragon head move its eyes very subtly, but they had some neat promo stuff on display for both the LOTR/Hobbit related properties AND the upcoming 2015 release of a new Thunderbirds movie that they're involved in.
Out in the main hall was an interesting display for MegaBots. What's MegaBots? I didn't know either until I stopped and talked to the friendly guys at the booth. It's basically paintball with gigantic, authentic, functioning mechs! You get to sit inside one of these massive steel robots and blast your opponent using the gigantic paintball cannons that your robot is equipped with. It's in the planning stages and there is going to be a crowd sourcing campaign going on for it – this looks pretty great…
Moving through the hall there were cosplay costume vendors…
...and an IFC booth selling DVDs and Blu-rays and promoting their theatrical and OnDemand release of The Babadook!
Maybe you need a phrenology bust or a statue of a fairy holding something that may or may not be used as a candle holder? NYCC has got you covered.
Of course, there are scores of comic and movie/TV celebrities on hand for signings but if you don't walk the entire show, you'll miss out on booths manned by Real American Heroes like Sgt. Slaughter!
There are custom art vendors aplenty, the Eslinger Gallery in particular having some very cool stuff on display.
At the Previews booth there were some great toys on display (more on that later) as well as some awesome latex masks for characters like the Creeper, the Killer Klowns, the aliens from They Live, Evil Dead characters and more.
Some of these banners though… they're very big!
GM was on hand to, in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics, promote the Chevy Volt. Electric cars are rad, and so is the Aliens/Predator/Prometheus thing that DH has going on this year.
Moving back into the main hall, be on the lookout for Daleks!!!
And that Batman suit display mentioned earlier? Some neat stuff on display there, including this giant statue of a sad Batman. Tried to get a clear, unobstructed picture of it but no dice, there was always some dude standing beside and posing.
This year Reed Pop was savvy enough to section off an outdoor section where there were some food trucks set up amongst other things. More impressive than the food trucks where the giant inflatable Teen Titans displays!
One of the more interesting vendors in the convention were these guys! They were all dressed as Spider-Man and were selling flasks that looked like old school Nintendo cartridges.
But yeah, it's New York, it's a big con. So be prepared to stand in line…
More tomorrow and into next week, check back then.

We've Lost Our Way--But We Can Find It Again
by Tyler Braun;

If you're buying for a church, school or business, why not Buy Now Pay Later?
Find Out MoreWhy Holiness Matters Pb
Full Product Description
Our generation has little or no regard for holiness. And this makes sense given our misunderstanding of:
-Sin (we view it as either inevitable or we just go with it)
-Holiness (we view it as unrealistic or we ignore it because there's no immediate payoff)
-Innocence (we view it as subordinate to 'experiencing the world')
-God (we often think he'll probably let us down-just like people do).
Instead of playing the 'guilt/shame' card, Tyler Braun examines Jesus' example to recognize how His way of life contrasts the world's promises.
If we want to partner with God in this restoration effort there are several areas that merit a closer look: our history (what we can learn from past values), community (church for a new generation), worship (what God does in us), and art (what making new things looks like).
If you've ever wondered Why Holiness Matters... read on!
Why Holiness Matters Pb by Tyler Braun was published by Moody in August 2012 and is our 46627th best seller. The ISBN for Why Holiness Matters Pb is 9780802405074.

Album Notes
Australian troubadour Darren Hanlon had a long, rich musical history by the time fifth album Where Did You Come From? arrived in 2015. Starting out as a supportive player in mid-'90s indie pop acts like the Lucksmiths and the Dearhunters, Hanlon stepped out solo around the start of the 2000s with a charmingly simple indie folk sound, rooted in the twee pop sentiments of his full-band days but presented with a candle-lit intimacy and sparsity. As the years went on, he would develop a sound more informed by the busking tradition than the Sarah Records catalog, turning to more traditional folk structures for his sweetly sung compositions. Where Did You Come From? melds traditionally minded playing with Hanlon's intelligent songwriting, wavering in between different production worlds. On the more minimal folk side are tunes like "My Love Is an Ocean Away," with what sounds like a single room mike picking up fingerpicked strings and a murmuring love lament. Moments later, "Manhole Cover Tap" approaches its title literally, with field recording captures of street percussion sounding very much made by tapping on a manhole cover while Hanlon chants lyrics over the top. Glitzier moments of production come with the honky tonk bounce of hard-luck traveling tune "The Chattanooga Shoot Shoot" and more '70s soft rock singer/songwriter arrangements on songs like the Jackson Browne-reminiscent "Trust Your Feelings" and "Fear of the Civil War," which comes complete with a Clarence Clemons-style sax solo in the middle. Each of the 13 tracks on Where Did You Come From? tells a slightly different story, giving an overall feeling of a messy journal from a long international journey, collecting ticket stubs, handbills, and heart-touching experiences in the strains of Hanlon's gentle and scrappy tunes. ~ Fred Thomas

We establish essentially optimal bounds on the complexity of initial-value problems in the ran-domized and quantum settings. We define for this purpose a sequence of new algorithms, whose error/cost properties improve from step to step. This leads to new upper complexity bounds, which differ from known lower bounds only by an arbitrarily small positive… (More)
Quantum algorithms and complexity have recently been studied not only for discrete, but also for some numerical problems. Most attention has been paid so far to the integration problem, for which a speed-up is shown by quantum computers with respect to deterministic and randomized algorithms on a classical computer. In this paper we deal with the randomized… (More)
We study the problem, initiated in [8], of finding randomized and quantum complexity of initial-value problems. We showed in [8] that a speed-up in both settings over the worst-case deterministic complexity is possible.

As a young victim says "Please stop protecting my attacker," Sen. Birdwell said he is "profoundly concerned with the rights of the accused," though he does support the legislation on the table
Survivors of sexual assault appeared before the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee Thursday, urging lawmakers to pass proposed measures that would work to improve reporting of such crimes on university campuses.
Among them were women from Texas A&M University, Trinity University, The University of Texas at Austin and Baylor University. The women shared personal accounts of assault and explained why this legislation is so important to them.
"A little over a year ago I was assaulted by a guy who I'd just met," said Paige Hardy, a sophomore at Baylor University to a panel of lawmakers. "My friends, my family society, have all told me that this was my fault. That because alcohol was involved, I deserved it. That 'maybe' means 'yes' and 'no' means 'convince me.' That if I didn't call the police within minutes of my attacks, I must be lying."

As the House and Senate stake out their positions on the budget, our resident number cruncher Dr. Stuart Greenfield takes a look at the improving revenue situation. Tomorrow, he'll look at the expenditure side of the equation
State revenue receipts, unlike Gaul, can be divided into two parts, General Revenue-Related (GRR) and non-GRR. The former is the revenue stream that our legislators can appropriate with their complete discretion, while the latter, e.g., federal funds, is dedicated to a specific government activity, e.g., Medicaid, public education.
When Comptroller Glenn Hegar released the Biennial Revenue Estimate (BRE) for FY18-19 on January 9, 2017, all hands immediately turned to Table A-1 which shows the funds that the Comptroller certifies is available to the Legislator to appropriate. Table A-1 shows $104.9 billion available for the 85th Legislature for discretionary spending.
This $104.9 billion is $5.4 billion less than the Comptroller stated in the Certification Estimate, released in October 2015, would be available for FY16-17 and $2.9 billion less than the amount for FY16-17 in the current estimate. This reduction in available revenue was anticipated, and the Governor and Legislative Budget Board took actions, hiring freeze, to reduce state expenditures for FY17.

Mechler said he's done it all by the rules and "It comes as no surprise that the Texas Tribune, an organization with a history of bashing Republicans and Republican values while lifting up Democrats, is at it again."
In response to a Texas Tribune story this week that suggested he may have improperly lobbied state officials about the oil and gas business, Republican Party of Texas Chairman Tom Mechler on Wednesday told members of the State Republican Executive Committee he wanted to "set the record straight."
"It is not surprising that Democrats and the liberal media are continuing to lob false accusations at Republican leaders across the state," Mechler wrote in an email obtained by Quorum Report on Thursday.
"Over the past year, they have repeatedly used false allegations and fake news to try to discredit Republican leadership," Mechler said.

Straus says the Senate is "cooking the books" as the Finance Committee pushes $2.5 billion in spending into the next biennium
Senate Finance is using a sales tax deferral to expand the capacity of this session's budget, a last-minute maneuver that Speaker of the House Joe Straus equates to cooking the books.
Chair Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, unveiled the choice in a back-and-forth with Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, in this morning's Senate Finance hearing. Nelson said the committee substitute to Senate Bill 1, which passed the committee unanimously, only represented the appropriations side of the budget. Changes were occurring simultaneously on the revenue side, she added.
"For example, the comptroller has informed us that $2.5 billion of the $5 billion Prop 7 transfer can occur in September 2019 and therefore will not count against the fiscal year 18-19 biennium," Nelson told her colleagues. "The substitute…."
Then Bettencourt interrupted the chair's comments to provide the explanation of the transfer.

U of H's Khator said "These measures, there's nothing wrong, we can tweak some of them to make them better for sure, and the flexibility is good…the trouble will come when we try to set specific targets."
The debate over college tuition regulation returned to the Texas Senate Wednesday when the Higher Education Committee met to discuss a handful of bills dealing with limiting tuition increases.
The five proposals go about limiting increases in several ways. Senate Bill 250 by Charles Schwertner, R- Georgetown, would freeze tuition rates for a year. After that increases would be capped to inflation rates. Senate Bill 442 by Jose Rodriguez, D-El Paso, freezes an institution's tuition at the 2017-2018 academic year level and requires, leaving it up to the legislature to permit increases.
Senate Bill by Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, would prohibit institutions from increasing tuition "except to make up any difference between core operational costs and state formula funding appropriations."

All the promises of miracles happening in private schools quickly start to sound like a multi-level marketing convention
Texans have probably never done more, spent more or hired more lobbyists to promote the idea that the state needs to move forward with school choice legislation.
At last count, Texans for Educational Opportunity had a dozen lobbyists on its payroll, including Mike Toomey, Bill Messer and John Colyandro. Thousands of endorsements – albeit bogus form letters – have gone out from Austin to lawmakers in both chambers. And supporters of school choice have spared no expense to put together a polished pro-choice message in front of lawmakers, a strategy that appeared to resonate with Sen. Eddie Lucio, D-Brownsville.
The only bill on the agenda in Senate Education was Senate Bill 3. The committee is stacked this session with Republicans most favorable to a vote on school choice. Democrat Lucio, for one, also has warmed to the argument that disinterested parents will finally be involved with their children's lives if they are given the right to choose.

Sen. Seliger says his office discovered that a deceased person had been impersonated writing a letter in favor of vouchers; says lawmakers are being "defrauded"
Quorum Report has now learned that some Republican senators who represent large swaths of rural Texas are also receiving the same kind of "fraudulent" school voucher letters that were reported earlier by rural Texas House members.
Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, is said to have received the letters and Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, confirmed to QR's Eleanor Dearman this afternoon that his office has received hundreds of them.
Sen. Seliger said one of the letters his office received recently came from a person his staff later discovered is deceased.

"We've gone to complete new lows in public campaigns" said former Rep. Hardcastle; Rep. Clardy: "I'm going to defend the people of my district and protect their identity"
Rural Republican Texas House members are sounding the alarm after a significant number of them say they received letters promoting school vouchers from what at first appeared to be constituents but turned out to apparently be sent by someone in Austin. But the actual sender of the letters is a mystery.
The letters, described by members who received them as "fraudulent," included the names and addresses of constituents but were not signed. And even though constituents' addresses were used from places like Gatesville and Vernon, the envelopes had an Austin postmark.
One of the letters sent to Rep. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, included the name and address of former Rep. Rick Hardcastle, who told Quorum Report that the tactic represents "a new low." Hardcastle said Rep. Springer contacted him after receiving the letter with Hardcastle's name on it. Hardcastle was taken aback that someone would impersonate him and completely misrepresent his opinion.
"I'm not a voucher guy and everybody knows I'm not a voucher guy," Hardcastle said.

Bathrooms and school vouchers aside, the Texas Senate on Tuesday passed a bill centered on the defining issue in Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's rise to power: Property tax "reform."
When the dust had cleared after the debate on Senate Bill 2 – the measure by Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, limiting local governments' ability to control local property taxes – Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, was the lone Republican to join with the Democrats in voting "no."

"Some are not as comfortable as we would like, but the reality is I can't think of any other way to fix it," Turner told the committee this morning. "There is no perfect pension bill."
That victory lap Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner was perhaps planning to take at Senate State Affairs Committee this morning felt a whole lot more like a slog, given the opposition mounting to is efforts to reform Houston's pension system.
The failure of Houston's municipal, fire and police pension plan is oft-told: erroneous actuarial calculations in 2001, underfunded payments, weak investment returns and, most perplexing, the city borrowing against its own pension fund for non-pension items. Turner came into office thinking he faced a $5.6 billion gap; all told, it's closer to $8.1 billion.
Failure to negotiate a compromise would cost Turner's budget an extra $134 million. So, Turner and his staff met faithfully with all three unions for months to craft a fix. By October, all three unions had agreed terms that were later blessed by the City Council.

"What we are asking for is something for the little dogs," Rep. Thompson; Rep. Shine says a hike in the minimum wage would increase wage inflation
The minimum wage took center stage at a Monday House Business and Industry Committee meeting, where legislators heard nine bills aimed at bumping up the floor on how much a person can be compensated per hour in Texas.
Texas' minimum wage is set at the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Most of the proposals heard on Monday recommend that it be increased to either $10.10 or $15 an hour. Two would leave it up to local governments to decide.
"What we are asking for is something for the little dogs," Rep. Senfronia Thompson, D-Houston, said while laying out her proposal to set the minimum wage at $10.10 an hour. "This is a little dogs' bill."
But several GOP members of the committee were not convinced, expressing concerns about potential negative economic impacts including for small business owners.
Rep. Hugh Shine, R-Belton, was among them.
March 20, 2017      3:56 PM
"Allowing the legislation to be heard in committee did not put it on any type of fast track, nor did it change the likelihood that this legislation would become law."
Saying "there have been third-party groups engaging in spreading false and misleading information" about the minimum wage bills being heard today in the Legislature, Texas House GOP Caucus Chairman Tan Parker on Monday said he'd like to "set the record straight."
"Last week, the House voted on a procedural motion to suspend the House Rules and allow a bill to be heard in committee without the usual five-day posting period," said Parker, R-Flower Mound. "This is a courtesy that legislators from both parties routinely extend to one another."
In this instance, he said, a Republican presented the motion on behalf of his committee chairman as a courtesy so that bills addressing the minimum wage could be heard today in House Business and Industry. "Allowing the legislation to be heard in committee did not put it on any type of fast track, nor did it change the likelihood that this legislation would become law," Parker said. "In short, the legislation is no more likely to pass than it was before the vote was taken."
Parker's full statement is here.

After bathroom bill vote, Sen. Kolkhorst sponsored what conservatives would certainly call "pork" for Lucio's district; the senator from Brenham's office calls it "common practice"
After Sen. Eddie Lucio, D-Brownsville, became the lone Senate Democrat to support the "bathroom bill," many in his own party accused the South Texas lawmaker of being a "complete sellout." He was taking so much heat from fellow Democrats, in fact, that his son Rep. Eddie Lucio III came to his defense in a passionate plea for civil disagreement.
"My father preached love and service in my house growing up, and although I sincerely believe that his position is not rooted in hate, it is still wrong and will create adversity for many," Rep. Lucio said, adding that he completely disagrees with his father on Senate Bill 6. Their family quarrel has drawn national attention.
Now Quorum Report has learned that the day after the bathroom bill was finally passed by the Senate, SB6's author Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, sponsored a rider quietly slipped into the upper chamber's version of the state's spending plan to shell out $5 million during a tight budget year for a project her fellow conservatives would most assuredly call "pork" in Lucio's district.
The rider would appropriate $5 million for a Center for Urban Ecology at Quinta Mazatlan in the Rio Grande Valley. Quinta Mazatlan, by the way, is a historic adobe mansion and nature and birding center in McAllen.

Both chambers are pretty far apart while retired teachers say the House is "laser focused on developing ways to help lessen the pain on retirees"
The House and Senate have found hundreds of millions of dollars to plug a hole in health care for teacher retirees, but a long-term fix likely will require major structural changes.
What Tim Lee of the Texas Retired Teachers Association can say is that lawmakers have found real money for TRS-Care in a tight budget session. The Senate has ponied up $317 million. The House has pulled $500 million from the Rainy Day Fund to cover increasing costs.
TRTA has probably gotten the best deal it can this session while awaiting some kind of permanent solution for spiraling costs, Lee said. On the Senate side, Sen. Joan Huffman's Senate Bill 788 has phased in premium increases, slowed somewhat by a bump in the state contribution from 1 percent to 1.25 percent. That percentage is applied to the aggregate of teacher pay in the state, Lee said.

Three big bills emerge as the major players on the issue by Schwertner, Nichols, and Paddie
Members of the Legislature this week heard several proposals related to regulating ride-hailing companies. The topic was considered in House and Senate committees as bills with many of the same goals but some nuanced differences were laid out.
In a Thursday House Transportation Committee meeting, while taking up House Bill 100 by Rep. Chris Paddie, lawmakers grappled with many of the same arguments for why or why not the bill should pass as were heard in Senate committee on Tuesday.

"As a Senator who represents so many Texans involved in the horse racing industry, this is a huge economic development issue," Kolkhorst said
Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, has filed a trio of bills intended to bolster the flagging revenues of the Texas Racing Commission, which will depend on an advance of fees from the racing industry to close out its final expenses this year.
The racing industry had a tough interim, with a squabble with conservatives like Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson over historical racing putting the agency's funding in danger. Add to that, a number of dormant tracks refusing to pay license fees to the commission, compromising the agency's budget. The latter led to messy year-end meeting with multiple parties claiming ownership of the Longhorn Downs license.

Our Senior Curmudgeon says Trump wants to take us back to the days of "atomic attack drills, 'duck and cover,' decontamination stations, fallout shelters, ICBMs, missile silos…and constant anxiety."
About once a week these days I wake up and check my Mickey Mouse watch for the latest President Twump time. Too often I find that it has automatically turned back five or ten years. It was, therefore, no surprise when I found that it had turned back 60 years and a U.S. president was talking about our nation's need to be at the "top" of the nuclear weapon food chain.
A recent New York Times report said we're behind the Ruskies in nuclear weapons stockpiled. They have 7,300 atomic bombs while we only have 7,000. The remaining 1,000 dooms day devices available globally are sprinkled over our allies and foes. Most notably among the worrisome buggers are China with 260, Pakistan with 120 and the ever-popular North Korea with 10. Apparently having enough atomic weapons stockpiled to kill all living things on the planet is once again not sufficient to anyone's national security.

Chair Zerwas says "It's fundamentally unacceptable, and it doesn't reflect the values of this state" to take half of teachers pensions to pay for TRS-Care
The House will use its supplemental budget to power many of its major funding decisions this session, including TRS-Care, Medicaid therapy and even cybersecurity.
The supplemental budget can sometimes be something of an afterthought in the budget process. This session, however, the House is betting on a combination of spending in both the supplemental and upcoming budget that will keep Texas under its budget cap, while pulling down maximum federal matching funds and using $2.4 billion out of the state's Rainy Day Fund.
Chair Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, told House Appropriations that the state had tapped the Rainy Day Fund seven times since it was created in 1988. The only time lawmakers used more was in 2011, when a third of the fund, $3.2 billion, was used to close a budget gap.

Rodriguez says he is "shocked at the lack of oversight over districts"; Chair Nichols looks to improve contracting, reporting and documentation
This session's Sunset bill for the Texas Department of Transportation is intended to put pressure on the agency to follow through on critical improvements, Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, told the Senate Transportation Committee this week.
No agency has been revisited by the Sunset Commission more over the last decade than TxDOT: in 2009, 2011 and now 2017. That doesn't even include the large-scale omnibus transportation bill, House Bill 3588, that rolled out public-private partnerships in 2003 and has been tweaked in just about every subsequent session to reflect changing attitudes toward the investment and operation of toll roads by private entities.
Every successive bill on TxDOT over the last decade has drilled down to a more granular level of agency operations. And Nichols' Senate Bill 312, which mirrors recent Sunset Commission recommendations, follows that course, dictating areas such as contracting, reporting and documentation. The bill also prescribes future management actions.
