News & Notes
The United States'' demand for janitorial equipment and supplies is forecasted to rise 3.4 percent annually through 2009 to $6.4 billion, according a study by Cleveland-based The Freedonia Group, Inc.
Among the major product categories, manual cleaning products will see the fastest gains through 2009, according to the study.
The Freedonia Group stated that a variety of factors will positively contribute to demand, including ergonomic and cross-contamination concerns, and product and performance upgrades.
Immigration poses as OSHA, arrests 48Federal immigration officials arrested 48 people, including cleaning workers, during a sting operation disguised as an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety training meeting.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted fliers telling employees of several subcontractors at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, NC, that they had to attend the meeting, and then arrested workers on charges that they were illegal immigrants.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and North Carolina''s Labor Department said that the sting would make immigrant workers distrust safety officials, just as agencies try to reduce the disproportionately high injury rate among Hispanic workers.
ICE Spokesman Dean Boyd said it was part of a stepped-up effort to crack down on illegal immigrants working at chemical plants, nuclear plants, and other sensitive facilities.
IICRC offers resilient floor classThe Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), Vancouver, WA, is developing two courses: Resilient Floor Maintenance Technician (RFMT) and Wood Floor Maintenance Technician (WFMT).
The IICRC also has plans to complete course development of the remaining hard surface floor cleaning and maintenance categories. Ultimately, the IICRC''s new Maintenance and Cleaning Division will consist of eight courses:
- CBFMT: Clay-Based Floor Maintenance Technician
- CCMT: Commercial Carpet Maintenance Technician
- CFMT: Concrete Floor Maintenance Technician
- HFMT: Hard Floor Maintenance Technician (formerly the FCT)
- RFMT: Resilient Floor Maintenance Technician
- SFMT: Stone Floor Maintenance Technician
- SPFMT: Specialty Floor Maintenance Technician
- WFMT: Wood Floor Maintenance Technician
Jani-King International, Inc. offered Tampa Bay, FL, employees terrorism training, as part of what company representatives say is their civic responsibility.
The company extended the training to other Bay-area cleaning contractors, and city and county employees.
All NYS schools must go greenNew York State schools will have to use non-toxic cleaning supplies under a bill that gained final legislative approval.
The State Assembly passed the measure, which applies to public and private schools, extending Governor Pataki''s recent executive order to reduce toxic fumes from cleaning supplies in state agencies.
Pataki is expected to sign the bill upon receipt, according to the Governor''s Office.
LA hotel workers ratify contractWorkers at seven major hotels in the Los Angeles area overwhelmingly ratified a contract that expires next year along with agreements in at least five other major cities.
Ninety-eight percent of ballots cast were in favor of the contract that will up housekeepers'' pay from an average of $11.10 to $11.75 an hour by next April. n

Final Examination of Geertruida de Moor
For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 1:30 p.m., Caldwell Room 331
James A. Wiseman, O.S.B., S.T.D.
Twee vrouwen van de Devotio Moderna.
In the 17th century Elisabeth Silvoorts (1607-1656) copied the writings of two fellow nuns, Jacomijne Costers (+ 1503) and Mechtild van Rieviren (+ 1497), of the Augustinian monastery Facons in Antwerp, a monastery that was part of the reform movement known as the Devotio Moderna. Since this movement is best known through its male representatives, such as Geert Grote and Thomas a Kempis, this dissertation examines the extent to which the spirituality of the Devotio Moderna is also found in Jacomijne and Mechtild's writings, which are contained in a manuscript now preserved in Vienna.
The dissertation, written in Dutch, is divided into four chapters. The first provides background information about the religious, social, and cultural context in the Low Countries in the late medieval period, along with historical information about the Facons monastery and biographical data about Jacomijne, Mechtild, their copyist, and several lesser figures. The second chapter provides, in parallel columns, a transcription of the relevant parts of the manuscript, which was written in Middle Dutch, and a translation of these into Modern Dutch. These parts are five in number: a description of what Jacomijne experienced in a vision she had while lying sick from the bubonic plague, three treatises she wrote after her recovery (on the Blessed Sacrament, the three religious vows, and her patron saint, John the Evangelist), and Mechtild's reflections on various spiritual topics. The third chapter is a commentary on selected passages in the manuscript, in particular ones that are not readily understood without familiarity with some of the literary sources on which the nuns relied (such as works of medieval Dutch literature and the Legenda Aurea of Jacobus de Voragine), while the final chapter shows that in fact the spirituality of the two nuns quite closely reflected the spirituality of the Devotio Moderna that is found in its better-known male representatives.

Manuel Marulanda
Pedro Antonio Marín | |
Nickname(s) | "Manuel Marulanda Vélez" "Tirofijo" |
Born | Génova, Quindío Colombia |
May 13, 1930
Died | March 26, 2008 Meta Department, Colombia[1] |
(aged 77)
Allegiance | Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) |
Rank | Secretariat member, Chief of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia |
Unit | Southern Bloc |
Battles/wars | Colombian armed conflict |
Pedro Antonio Marín Marín (May 13, 1930 [disputed][2] - March 26, 2008), known by his "nom de guerre" Manuel Marulanda Vélez, was the main leader of the FARC-EP ("Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - Ejército del Pueblo"). Marulanda was born in a coffee-growing region of west-central Colombia in the Quindío Department, to a peasant family politically aligned with the Liberal Party during conflicts in the 1940s and 1950s.
Marulanda was nicknamed "Tirofijo" (Spanish: Surefire or Sureshot) by his comrades, apparently because of a reputed ability to accurately aim firearms.[citation needed]
Marulanda himself changed his political and ideological inclinations to the Communist Party (PCC) during "La Violencia" (roughly 1948 to 1958) that followed the assassination of the Liberal Party's leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.
In March 2006, Alberto Gonzales, the Attorney General of the United States, announced in conjunction with Drug Enforcement Administration and United States Department of Justice officials that the US State Department had placed a $5 million reward on Tirofijo's head, or for information leading to his capture.[3] But 'Marulanda' was never apprehended, and died of a heart attack on March 26, 2008. He was replaced as commander-in-chief by Alfonso Cano.[4]
Early armed activities[edit]
Marulanda and members of his family, like many Liberal peasants, rose up in arms not long after they heard the news about the death of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan. Initially they were defending themselves from members of the rival Conservative Party and of local police forces.
Eventually, Marulanda split with some of his relatives and became part of a column of guerrilla fighters that came under the influence of the Communist Party of Colombia, which developed a more proactive role in the fighting, executing more raids and offensive operations. He took on the name "Manuel Marulanda" in honor of a murdered union leader. Marulanda eventually met and befriended Luis Morantes, also known as Jacobo Arenas, a PCC political cadre sent to the rural areas by the central party structure.
Members of this group later settled in an area known as Marquetalia towards the end of "La Violencia", keeping their weapons. They distrusted the Colombian Army and government even after a 1953 coup led by General Gustavo Rojas against Conservative president Laureano Gómez. Rojas had offered an amnesty that was accepted by most Liberal irregular fighters nationwide, but reputedly the murder of a few demobilized individuals made Marulanda, his rural comrades and his PCC superiors in the cities uneasy.
After the fall of Rojas in 1957 and the signing of the National Front agreement in 1958 between Colombia's two main parties, self-sufficient armed enclaves, such as the so-called "independent republics" and in particular a supposed "Marquetalia Republic", were considered dangerous by the new government. Pressure from Conservative members of Congress and from the United States led to a Colombian Army attack on Marquetalia, which was eventually overrun during what was termed "Operation Marquetalia" in May 1964.
Formation of the FARC[edit]
The Colombian Army's attack was mostly ineffective, though it did scatter the guerrillas, and most of the survivors reunited elsewhere and later became part of the "Bloque Sur" (Southern Bloc) guerrilla group on 27 May 1964, a precursor to the official foundation of the FARC in 1966. Marulanda and Jacobo Arenas soon established themselves as the main leaders of the new guerrilla group.
Marulanda died of a heart attack on March 26, 2008. The news was first brought by Colombian magazine Revista Semana on May 24, 2008 that cited Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos saying Marulanda died. The minister claimed he had learned this from a reliable informant within FARC. He also told the magazine that three bombing raids had targeted the rebel chief around the date in question.[5][6] A press statement released by the Colombian Ministry of Defense on May 24 stated that Marulanda died on March 26, 2008 at 18:30 hours (UTC 13:30).[7] On May 25 in a video released to channel teleSUR, Timoleón Jiménez, aka Timochenko, another member of the Central High Command of the FARC, confirmed the death as heart failure.[4][8]

It all seems so ... wrong. Bizarre, even.
But here it is: The perils of being bullied don't end with the arrival of adulthood. In fact, adults are just as susceptible as kids to being bullied.
Consider Karen Klein, the 68-year-old grandmother and bus monitor from Rochester, N.Y., whose uncomfortable minutes as the target of a pack of middle school-age bullies have become an Internet sensation in recent weeks.
And for every high-profile Klein, there are numerous other adults who are bullied by other adults - be they bosses, spouses or colleagues - years, even decades, after that particular interpersonal peril was supposed to have disappeared.
For most grown-ups, the notion of bullied adults is counterintuitive, because we tend to associate "bullying" with kid-on-kid attacks. Yet, in recent years, adult bullies, and the adults bullied, have become increasingly noticeable blips on our societal radar.
However, licensed marriage and family therapist Donna Wilburn suspects that the extent of adult bullyism isn't "any better or worse than it ever was. It's just being noticed and acknowledged more."
While kids tend to be brutally obvious in their bullying - just watch the YouTube video to witness the unbridled cruelty the kids direct toward Klein - adults can be a bit more subtle.
"I think the term 'adult bullying' is kind of a broad-based term," said Christopher Kearney, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas psychology professor and director of UNLV's Child School Refusal and Anxiety Disorders Clinic.
"When we think of kids and adolescence, we tend to have a more circumscribed idea of what (bullying) involves," he said. "But, at the adult level, there are a whole variety of behaviors that can be put under the label of 'bullying.' It could be something verbal, something physical, something more passive - like sabotage or ignoring someone - or lying to someone."
But even if bullying among adults can encompass "a spectrum of behaviors," Kearney said, "obviously, if it makes someone feel poorly, that's a good definition."
Wilburn said bullying is a topic that arises often during sessions with adult clients, and that "there are two areas that I see a lot of it happening."
The first is "in the family, where family members bully other family members," Wilburn said, and where bullying can take the form of a spouse bullying a spouse, a parent bullying a child or siblings bullying each other.
Then, Wilburn said, "I also see it in the workplace, where someone with authority will bully an employee. I see that a lot."
Bullying in those arenas speaks to a key prerequisite for bullying, as well as a reason why Klein's kid-bullying-adult dynamic is so alarming: Bullies, Wilburn said, "need to have a power position."
"They're either bigger than you or they're your boss or they're holding something that gives them power," she said. "There has to be a power differential, where one person is less powerful than the other."
Also as part of this dynamic, bullies require "a fear factor and an intimidation factor," Wilburn said.
"Intimidation is the tool they use to try to scare their victim, whether it's physically, or (by) blackmail, or with your job - 'You're going to be fired.' I've seen relationships where they're married and the children are involved, and the fear factor is, 'If I leave, I'll never find someone else and (the bully will) take my children.' In domestic violence, that's a big factor. That's a huge factor."
The absence of a power differential and an inability to provoke fear and intimidation in a target make friendships a less likely setting for bullying.
It's emotionally difficult to leave a marriage to escape a bullying spouse. It's financially risky to leave a job to escape a bullying boss. But, in a friendship, "there's so much of a choice factor," Wilburn said, and a relationship with a bullying friend can be ended easily.
And what of Klein's experience? Kearney noted that the dynamic of bullying, whatever the configuration, is "usually the same, which is someone preying upon someone they perceive to be weaker."
"Some traditional barriers between adults and kids have sort of diminished a little over the years," Kearney said, and "I don't think the kids in that situation necessarily saw a big power differential between the lady and themselves.
"That certainly does not in any way excuse their behavior, which was reprehensible. But I think they didn't see her as an authority figure."
Another bullying dynamic also applies: "People being bullied keep it a secret," Kearney said. "There's some kind of isolation attached to it."
But even beyond all this, Kearney said, "I think it was the level of cruelty that shocked people more than anything.
"I think if they were making offhand comments about something innocuous, maybe it wouldn't have had as much of a reaction. But they really went over the line in terms of what they were saying."
Bullies, of any age, seldom admit to being - or may not even realize they are - bullies. That makes it difficult to say how many of us are either bullies or the targets of bullies.
However, a 2010 survey commissioned by the Bellingham, Wash.-based Workplace Bullying Institute said 35 percent of American workers say they've experienced bullying in the workplace, while another 15 percent say they've witnessed it.
(The survey defined "workplace bullying" as "repeated mistreatment; sabotage by others that prevented work from getting done, verbal abuse, threatening conduct, intimidation (and) humiliation.")
Gary Namie, the organization's co-founder, said workplace bullying by bosses can include such behaviors as arbitrarily withholding training opportunities to targeted employees but not to others, imposing unrealistic deadlines on employees, not providing employees with sufficient resources to succeed, and yelling at or disciplining employees in front of others.
Whatever the mechanism, bullying causes stress and physical illness in its targets, Namie said, while companies can experience consequences in the form of high rates of sick time and absenteeism, low morale, decreased productivity and - if a bully goes too far - administrative and legal costs.
Yet, Namie said, when an adult complains about a bully, "the attitude is, 'Kids need protecting. What the hell are you crying about as an adult? Why don't you just toughen up?' That's our national mantra, and it's a problem akin to domestic violence and abuse at the workplace."
Child abuse and domestic abuse long ago became both legally and morally unacceptable in our society, Namie added, leaving workplace bullying as "the last form of abuse we've said 'no' to."
Lest employees become too self-righteous, Gregory Reilly noted that employers also can be the target of bullying employees. Reilly, a shareholder with the employment and labor law firm Littler Mendelson, said there have been several cases in which employees took to cyberbullying to anonymously attack bosses and companies on social media sites.
In the past, such comments may have been shared only at the office water fountain or coffee machine, he said. Now, a false, damaging and intimidating statement about a boss is "stored on a server and stays there forever," he said, and, because the comments often are anonymous, bullying employees "feel they can say virtually anything."
When dealing with any bully, it turns out that Mom and Dad were right. Understand, first, that a bully typically is "a very insecure person who is trying to feel successful or feel in power," Wilburn said, and that "one of the only ways they can do that is to dominate or bully somebody."
So "hold the bully accountable," she said. Complain to human resources or, at home, "when communication turns into bullying, you set up a boundary and say, 'I'm not going to continue this discussion.' "
Confronting bullies about their behavior might not fix them, but it might make them behave better, Wilburn said.
"So many people who are bullies don't acknowledge or recognize it," Wilburn said. "And honestly, when we call them on it, sometimes they'll have motivation to work on it."
The bully long has been a staple of comic strips, movies and TV shows. In the case of adult bullies, what may be new here isn't that adult bullies exist, but that we've decided to give them a new, more on-point name.
Maybe today's "adult bully" is just yesterday's "jerk."
Yet, Kearney said, using the label of "adult bully" does help to "raise awareness about certain over-the-top behaviors that are probably not acceptable, just like what we used to do and what we've done now with 'sexual harassment.' "
It's hard to believe it these days, but not long ago - think "Mad Men" - behaviors and remarks that today would send a boss at least to HR and maybe even onto the street were considered office standard operating procedure.
"So, if this is sort of the next step," Kearney said, "that's not necessarily a bad thing."

Celina defeats Versailles in a five-game thriller
Celina's sweltering Intermediate School gymnasium played host to a sterling nonconference volleyball match Tuesday night between the Celina Bulldogs and the Versailles Tigers.
Both squads entered with impressive records and their play on the night showed why both were ranked in the first state coaches poll of the year.
In the end, it was the homestanding Bulldogs who came away with the win in five heart-pounding games, 25-21, 21-25, 27-25, 16-25 and 15-11.
Celina, which was ranked 12th in Division II, improves its record to 8-2 on the year, while Versailles, which sat atop the Division III poll, falls to 8-1.
The play on the court was almost as hot as the air in the gym, and the result was an entertaining contest from beginning to end. As an illustration of how close the match was, the score was knotted a total of 37 times throughout the night.
The Bulldogs broke open a 17-all first game when a Tiger kill attempt went long and Kelsey Mastin served up three winners to stake her team to a four-point advantage. The visitors later closed to within two but a block by Erin Dorsten gave the Bulldogs game point and another errant kill attempt by the Tigers closed out the game.
Versailles took control of the second game at 9-4 thanks to a six-point serving run by libero Kelsey Schlater, but Celina inched closer and finally pulled even at 19-apiece after an ace by Julie Klosterman. Megan Campbell notched a pair of kills to put the visitors back on top, and a pair of Celina hitting errors finished the second game to knot the match at one game apiece.
The third game was the best of the bunch, as it accounted for 17 of the night's tied scores, and the largest lead either team possessed was a measly two points. The Tigers had the first game point after a Bulldog hitting error, but a kill down the line by Cenzie Yoder tied the score at 25-all. A kill by the Tigers then sailed wide and Dorsten emphatically finished the game when she stuffed an errant pass.
The Tigers took out some frustrations in the fourth game. A 15-11 lead quickly ballooned to 24-14 thanks in large part to the play of Tara Winner. The senior outside-hitter banged seven kills in the game, with the last one ending things at 25-16.
In the finale, the visitors took a quick 4-1 advantage to prompt a Bulldog timeout, and the brief respite did wonders for the hosts. Morgan Weininger drilled a kill and later registered a stuff block to bring the Bulldogs within one, and after a pair of Tiger hitting errors the hosts were up by a score of 7-6. The score was tied four more times before Dorsten put the Bulldogs up for good at 11-10, and three straight errors by the visitors put them in a hole they could not climb out of. Dorsten finally found an open corner to end the wild and wooly match.
Both coaches were glad to have the opportunity to face some outstanding competition as their league schedules start to heat up.
"We couldn't have asked for a better non-league game," said Versailles coach Karla Otte. "This is kind of what we've been itching for, some real stiff competition out of the MAC (Midwest Athletic Conference). It knocks us down a little bit but it will keep us focused and keep our heads on straight."
Celina coach Carolyn Dammeyer agreed.
"We put a lot of MAC schools on our schedule because there is just so much competition," said Dammeyer. "We have the best area for volleyball around here, and I tell the girls that if we come up on the losing end now and then it will just make them a better team because of the competition we're playing."
Both teams get back to the rigors of league play on Thursday, as Celina travels to St. Marys and Versailles takes to the road to face Minster.

How Lowrie Affects the A's Infield
Posted on 6 Feb 2013 by Josh Muller.
With my next post, my intent was to discuss the A's outfield situation but in light of Monday's trade I'm obviously going to focus on the infield. On Monday the Oakland Athletics acquired infielder Jed Lowrie and right-handed reliever Fernando Rodriguez from the Houston Astros in exchange for first baseman Chris Carter and two prospects, right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock, and catcher Max ...

Three More Games in the Hunt for a Green October
Posted on 1 Oct 2012 by Josh Muller.
Folks, we only have three more games left in this weird, wild season. Can you believe it? And with only one series against the Texas Rangers left, the Oakland Athletics are sitting in a pretty solid spot and control their own destiny. Their magic number is down to one, which means that if they win just one game out of the final three then Oakland would be in the playoffs. Or if both the Angels ...

A's Have Traveled An Improbable Road
Posted on 13 Sep 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this on September 13, the Oakland Athletics have just taken three out of four in Anaheim, a little payback for the sweep the Angels handed the A's in Oakland about a week ago. Since then, the A's have won six out of seven games on the road. In fact, the A's tied an Oakland record with 12 strait road victories, they have a one game cushion for the top wild card spot and only sit...

Manny Not Being Manny In Oakland
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
Well, it's official. The Oakland Athletics announced they granted Manny Ramirez his unconditional release. Can't say I'm too surprised by that one. Operation Mannyball: Failed. I really don't think it's that big of a deal. He just never really got going, only hitting 2 doubles and zero home runs in AAA Sacramento, a hitter-friendly environment. Apart from that, he can only DH, so he�...

I know I said in a couple of weeks time, we'd have a better idea of where the A's would be at the end of the year, and of course, during that time virtually nothing has changed. Oakland is still 8 games back of first, Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon McCarthy are out with what will hopefully be minor injuries, and the wins (and losses) are coming in bunches. The A's took three out of four from...

Mattingly acknowledges extra security for Puig
SAN FRANCISCO – Dodgers management has steadfastly refused to comment on the detailed articles regarding Yasiel Puig's escape from Cuba that have been published this week, including any questions about Puig's safety givEn the revelations in those reports.
But Manager Don Mattingly acknowledged Thursday that security around the Dodgers has increased since Puig's promotion from the minor leagues last year. Mattingly said the security presence has been more prominent "since Pittsburgh last year."
That is a reference to the Dodgers' mid-June trip to Pittsburgh, New York and San Diego – not coincidentally, the team's first trip with Puig, perhaps an indication the team was aware of potential threats long before this week's revelations included in detailed articles both in Los Angeles Magazine and ESPN: The Magazine.
Through his agent, Puig issued a statement Wednesday saying he would not discuss the published reports. Asked about the difficulty of playing with the swirl of attention created by those revelations after Thursday's game, Puig seemed unconcerned.
"I feel normal," he said through a translator. Unlike last year, Puig had not been assigned a translator this season – until this series. He did not translate Puig's answer to the question about this week's revelations and quickly shut down the line of questioning after Puig's first answer.
"I'm focused on baseball," Puig said in Spanish. "I'm giving my best for the team so things go well on the field. … So those things that are happening don't torment me."
Both of the magazine articles referred to threats from the criminal element that helped Puig escape Cuba and expect to be paid by the Dodgers outfielder. The reports include an account of Puig being confronted at his hotel during spring training with the Dodgers in 2013 by someone demanding payment for their part in smuggling him out of Cuba.
Mattingly would not acknowledge the increased security was directly linked to Puig's arrival. He was asked if he had concerns about Puig's safety.
"If you care about Yasiel, yeah, you worry about it," Mattingly said. "There's some serious stuff that he has to deal with. I think you have to worry about it if you care about him as a person. You worry about what he's going through."
Hanley Ramirez sat out Thursday's game with a bruised left hand suffered in the seventh inning Wednesday night when he was hit by a pitch. X-rays were normal and Mattingly said the Dodgers are satisfied there is no more damage than a contusion.
Ramirez acknowledged his hand was still sore Thursday and gripping a bat was painful. But he vowed to be back in the starting lineup Friday.
With the rib-fracturing fastball from St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Joe Kelly in last year's NLCS still fresh in memory, Mattingly was asked if this inside pitch might require some form of response from a Dodgers pitcher against the Giants.
"We'll protect our guys," Mattingly said, resorting to the usual generic answer in these situations.
"They've always tried to pitch him (Ramirez) inside. Guys that can hit, you want to get them off the plate. So, yeah, we'll pay attention to that. ... You want to chase them in there. You don't want to leave balls over the plate. ... It's the same with us. If we have to pitch a guy inside and we happen to hit him, that's just part of the game."
Left-hander Clayton Kershaw threw another bullpen session before Thursday's game, continuing his pattern of throwing off a mound every other day this week. This time Kershaw (strained teres major muscle) was cleared to include breaking pitches in the throwing session and increase his velocity. "We just keep progressing," Mattingly said. … With Ramirez out, Puig batted third in the lineup for the first time.

Local Food Initiative
Local Food Initiative 2015 Highlights
What is the Local Food Initiative?
Launched in 2014, the Executive's Local Food Initiative aims to build a stronger farm-to-plate pipeline by setting targets and taking bold steps to:
- Better connect local farms to consumers
- Increase access to healthy, affordable foods in underserved areas
- Support farmers and protect farmland
- Create a sustainable farm-to-plate pipeline more resilient to the effects of climate change
Food economy 2015 accomplishments
Food access 2015 accomplishments
Why it matters
King County has a long history of preserving farmland and supporting farmers and farmers markets. The County's successful Farmland Preservation Program stretches back decades, while its "Puget Sound Fresh" campaign has supported farmers markets and educated consumers about locally grown products for nearly 20 years.
Despite these and other efforts, less than 2 percent of the nearly $6 billion King County residents spend annually on food and drink is actually grown in King County. Increasing that figure to 10 percent could mean an increase of at least 10,000 new jobs, a stronger rural economy, improved health, and more.
To address this opportunity, Executive Constantine has launched the Local Food Initiative with two major goals:
- Expand our local food economy to ensure job growth and economic viability for King County food businesses and farms.
- Improve access to healthy, affordable food in low-income communities.
With these goals in place, the Executive convened a Kitchen Cabinet comprised of more than 30 leaders, innovators and advocates who value the economic, environmental and health benefits of a robust local food system.

Early European settlers granted themselves expansion into other peoples' lands. They pushed the frontier ever westward, displacing Native Americans, Mexicans, Canadians and others along the way. These pioneers traveled under the banner of Manifest Destiny, the idea that European Americans had a mission to expand the nation's boundaries and democratic institutions to the continent's Western shores.

On my last trip to Walt Disney World my family decided they wanted to eat at Le Cellier for lunch. Currently, Le Cellier is 1 table service for lunch but in January even the lunch menu will be bumped up to 2 Dining Credits. So this would be one of the last times we would eat there. I am not a known fan of Le Cellier for two reasons: 1. last time I ate there I was very very sick and honestly miserable and 2. I am not a huge steak fan. So can a person really eat there and not order a steak and still have a nice meal? Well the answer is Yes, you can!! The lunch menu has several options, it looks pretty much like the dinner menu only not as many fish selections I noticed. They also offer the Chefs pick menu and even on the dining plan you can enjoy an appetizer, entree and dessert. I opted to go with that menu.
For the started I had the Spicy Chicken and Chipotle Sausage with roasted corn polenta and sweet onion jam. Wow! It was amazing and big enough it really could have been a meal of its own. The chicken sausage is so good, but beware that it is spicy but not so hot it'll burn your mouth. The roasted corn polenta was so creamy with just enough sweetness from the corn to balance out the flavors from the spicy sausage. I'm telling ya, skip the soup next time and give this a try! Yum!
For my entree I picked the Le Cellier House Burger. I know what you are thinking, what no steak?! But if you are not a steak lover, why choose one just because you are at a steak house. It is not a rule. The burger was topped with roasted mushrooms, smokey bacon, maple barbecue, cheddar cheese, crispy onions, and served with a side of french fries. They will cook your burger to order and I ordered mine well done and it was perfect. The burger is huge, I could barely put down half of it after the appetizer. I offered up samples to other people at my table and everyone enjoyed it. The burger is a winner in my book!
Of course even with the options you still get to enjoy the wonderful bread variety they serve you and still pick a dessert. Even if you don't order a steak , I promise you will walk away from here full. When planning our Disney vacations it isn't all about me and where I want to eat, so I was more than happy to go back to Le Cellier. I just don't feel like I have to order a steak because that is what they are known for and I hope you don't feel that way either. The other menu options are just as flavorful and satisfying! So if you don't love love love steak, next time you visit Le Cellier branch out!
What about you, when you visit Le Cellier what do you order? I would love to hear in the comments below!

JACKSONVILLE – A few Jaguars veterans got their first training camp break, but mostly Sunday was a day about offense.
And specifically, it was about offensive improvement.
On a day when the temperatures cooled considerably, and a day when four veterans had the day off of practice, Jaguars Training Camp 2013 continued Sunday morning with a two-and-a-half-hour practice under gray skies at the Florida Blue Health and Wellness practice fields.
The temperature was 83 degrees, with the attendance at 1,706.
Running back
"That was the plan prior to training camp," Jaguars Head Coach Gus Bradley said. "It's all part of our plan that we have as an organization, to take care of them and take care of our guys."
Also, guard
Nowak said the other car hit his passenger side.
"It was just a freak accident," Nowak said. "Those things happen. It happens everyday and unfortunately, it happened to me. It was lucky that I'm safe and the other guy is safe. That's the main thing."
On the field, the storyline for many observers remained the quarterback position, where second-year veteran
On Sunday, the two each had bright spots, and Bradley said overall it was a day of significant improvement from Saturday.
"Overall, I was impressed with our offense today," Bradley said. "We challenged them in the team meeting. Some things (Saturday) weren't acceptable. We challenged them and they came back and had a good day."
Wide receiver Cecil Shorts caught a touchdown from both Gabbert and Henne.
"I have a long way to go," Shorts said. "We did a good job on offense spreading the ball around. Everybody was making plays. One thing I was talking about today was all week we hadn't scored. Today was 'fringe' and 'red zone.' The thing for the wide receivers was, 'Score.' I think we madea statement today."
Rookie wide receiver
Gabbert completed by one count 14 of 21 passes for two touchdowns – to Shorts and Brown. Henne completed by one count 13 of 21 passes for two touchdowns – to Shorts and Otten. Rookie free agent
The Jaguars are scheduled to go through a walk-through Sunday evening, and will practice Monday at 9:55 a.m. at the Florida Blue Health and Wellness practice fields.
Wide receiver
Palmer sustained an ankle sprain and did not return to practice, Bradley said.
The day featured more highlights than Saturday, and Sunday's standout play came – unsurprisingly – from Henne and Shorts.
Henne looked good through the early part of practice, and Shorts has impressed since camp began, so it was little surprise when Henne looked to Shorts deep on Henne's first series of practice.
Henne, who had started one of three on the drive, hit Shorts in stride and Shorts separated from the defenders at the last second, catching the ball and at the goal line for a 21-yard touchdown.
1.Shorts came up with several impressive catches in team and 7-in-7 work, including a late touchdown on a back-shoulder red-zone pass from Gabbert. Shorts also caught a 40-yard pass off an errant long pass from Henne.
2.Running back
3.Middle linebacker
5.Tight end
*A standout player early camp continues to be Brown. He has looked good in the slot, and on Sunday continued to show good chemistry with the quarterbacks. A first-year veteran, Brown is in a tough situation with a relatively deep receiving group, but he is putting a lot of good practice tape together, and will be tough to keep off the roster.
*Here we go with another entry on Shorts. It's not as if Shorts has been overlooked in camp, certainly, but you can't watch the Jaguars practice without being impressed. He is on a different level than the other Jaguars receivers and is open far more consistently – and open in better situations – than any other receivers. Gabbert was asked on Saturday if the quarterbacks had to focus on getting other receivers the ball and not depend too much on Shorts. He replied that, no, he would go through reads and get Shorts the ball when the situation called for it. The way Shorts is playing, that's a wise strategy.
*One of the standout players early in camp has been Ball, a veteran cornerback who entered training camp as the starter opposite Gratz. There were those who wondered about the security of Ball's starting position, and those who speculated that the Jaguars could sign a veteran sometime during camp to compete for the spot, in part because Ball had started just 19 games in his six NFL seasons. But Ball, who responded to a challenge from Bradley midway through the offseason program b finishing that period strong, has started camp strong, too. On Friday, he intercepted Henne in 7-on-7 drills, and followed that with an interception off Gabbert in two-minute drills on Saturday morning.

Artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen will release his third feature film, 12 Years a Slave (Fox Searchlight), this fall, featuring stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Paul Dano and Alfre Woodard, among others.
Based on Solomon Northup's 1853 autobiography, the film tells the story of a free-born black man who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in pre-Civil War America. Ejiofor plays the title role, with Fassbender in the role of a slave owner, Pitt a Canadian abolitionist, Cumberbatch a Baptist preacher and Paulson the slave owner's wife; Wallis plays Solomon's daughter. Fassbender has starred in both McQueen's previous feature films, Hunger (2008) and Shame (2011).
In addition to being an acclaimed filmmaker, McQueen is still a practicing studio artist. The exhibition "Steve McQueen," co-organized by The Art Institute of Chicago and the Schaulager, Basel, is currently at the Schaulager (through Sept. 1).

That headline is perhaps the best way to describe the amazing Ark Encounter theme park that opens July 7 south of Cincinnati. Let me explain.
On January 25, a federal court ruled that it was unconstitutional for Kentucky to exclude Answers in Genesis from participating in tourism benefits.
Brandon Ambrosino's article about AiG undermines his own position—and illustrates how hostile media often help the very activities they're trying to oppose.
What is the reason for such opposition to a project that will be so beneficial to the state as it brings hundreds of millions of tourist dollars into Kentucky?
We don't need another Ark to save us from a global Flood. But we do need another kind of Ark, and to take people on what we are calling "a voyage of discovery."
Today, AiG has rallied God's people to rebuild the Ark Encounter as a powerful evangelistic outreach to the world.
In what can only be described as a hit piece that resembled the worst of the British tabloid media, this well-read Newsweek article needs to be addressed by AiG.
Why are the Amish taking a lead role in building the full-size Ark at the Ark Encounter?
AiG is launching a branding campaign on the Fox News Channel and its coverage of New Year's Eve and the ball drop at Times Square in New York City.
The Ark will feature several highly detailed dioramas and modern technology has allowed us to produce these scenes much faster than ever before.
My letter to you this month is an account of God's providence and miraculous intervention. It's absolutely amazing as you look back on AiG's history.
The Ark Encounter is estimated to reach 2 million or more people a year from around the world. And they will hear the most important message: the gospel.
How people must have scoffed at Noah. In this world, AiG is increasingly experiencing the scoffing of those who mock us as we stand on God's Word in Genesis.
How can we help people understand that the hundreds of flood legends help illustrate the truth of Scripture, which contains the true account of the Flood?
We are thrilled to share that the donations to the Ark Encounter have just recently passed the $20 million mark towards the $29.5 million goal!
Reenactment actor Deks Nordquist has a passion for history and has portrayed many historical characters in documentaries, movies, and plays.
Over the past few years, we have been involved in a research project to determine how many kinds of animals boarded the Ark.
The general public will have the opportunity to visit the massive Ark Encounter construction site this summer in scenic northern Kentucky.
Now that the construction of the life-size Noah's Ark is well under way, I thought it time to respond to the scoffers and critics of the project.
Scores of spectacular animals must be designed and sculpted over the next year to be displayed in the life-size Noah's Ark in northern Kentucky.
What did America's Research Group discover in its new research that now estimates even greater attendance at the coming Ark Encounter?
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Poultry giant Tyson Foods has 14 days to dismantle a national multimillion dollar ad campaign centered on the claim that its chickens are raised without antibiotics, a federal appeals court in Richmond ruled yesterday.
Tyson, based in Springdale, Ark., will have to remove posters and brochures from 8,500 grocery stores nationwide.
"We're disappointed the motion for a stay has been denied and are evaluating our legal options," said Gary Mickelson, a spokesman for Tyson Foods. "We continue to believe we have acted responsibly in the way we have labeled and marketed our products and intend to stand our ground."
The ruling is a setback for Tyson in its ongoing battle with two of its competitors Sanderson Farms, based in Laurel, Miss., and Perdue Farms, based in Salisbury, Md. The two companies jointly sought an injunction to stop Tyson's ad campaign, arguing the "raised without antibiotics" claim misleads consumers by making it appear Tyson's chicken is safer or more healthful.
Sanderson and Perdue initially based their legal challenge on Tyson's practice of feeding chickens ionophores, an antibiotic used only in animals raised for food. Sanderson and Perdue also use ionophores.
Then during trial in federal court in Baltimore, Tyson officials acknowledged they also inject eggs several days before they hatch with antibiotics that are approved for use in humans. Dave Hogberg, Tyson's senior vice president for consumer products, said it is a common industry practice.
Hogberg said injecting eggs with antibiotics did not undermine the "raised without antibiotic" label because the term "raised" is understood to cover the period that begins with hatching.
More consumers are becoming concerned about the use of antibiotics in poultry, swine and cattle because they and many public health experts think that it contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant viruses in humans.
The dispute between Tyson and its competitors began last year, when Tyson announced it would raise its chickens without antibiotics, as part of a larger effort to relaunch its brand. It sought approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the use of the label "raised without antibiotics." USDA initially approved the language, then last fall reversed itself, saying it had made a mistake.
Tyson came up with a new label that said, "raised without antibiotics that impact antibiotic resistance in humans" that the USDA greenlighted.
The resulting advertising campaign proved a huge success. In a February conference call, Tyson chief executive Richard Bond told analysts the company has had double-digit increases in sales of fresh chicken raised without antibiotics, totaling an additional 70 million pounds of chicken a year.
But Tyson's success came at a high cost for its competitors, said Randall K. Miller, a partner at Arnold and Porter and lead counsel for Sanderson and Perdue. The companies sued in January seeking to force Tyson to stop making claims that its products were antibiotic free.
Sanderson blamed Tyson's ad campaign for the loss of a $4 million account, and Perdue blamed it for a $10 million loss in revenue. Greater damage, however, was done to the companies' reputations, Miller said. In seeking an injunction against Tyson's ad campaign, Sanderson and Perdue argued that Tyson's "raised without antibiotics" claim caused irreparable harm by implying its competitors' products contained antibiotics or dangerous additives and were therefore less safe.
Separately, Sanderson and Perdue also petitioned USDA to rescind its approval of Tyson's "raised without the use of antibiotics that impact antibiotic resistance in humans" label, citing both the use of antibiotics in unhatched eggs and in chicken feed.
In an April 30 letter to Miller regarding the companies' petition, the USDA said the egg injecting practice was "of serious concern."
"Rather than discuss any specifics to this particular case, [the Food Safety and Inspection Service of USDA] has requested additional information to help us determine what the facts are in this situation," FSIS spokeswoman Amanda Eamich said.
Hogberg said Tyson has been forthright with regulators. He said he hopes Tyson and USDA can resolve the matter quickly.
"As we did in working with them on the qualified claim last fall . . . we would hope the process would be similar so we can preserve this benefit for the mainstream consumer," he said.

Digital clutter is just as bad, and while it doesn't take up physical space, it does eat up your hard drive, attention, and time. Let's put an end to it. Break Through the Cycle of Clutter and Admit There's a Problem When someone keeps a ton of old clothes they've never worn or rents a storage unit, we say they're wasting money and energy on clutter. However, when someone buys 1TB hard drives for all of the movies and they've downloaded or ripped, it's no big deal. Digital clutter is still clutter, and even if it doesn't take up physical space, we still have an unhealthy attachment to it, whether the clutter is a few gigs of movies or a hard drive full of mp3s that we've never watched or listened to. In this post, we'll help you minimize the digital clutter in your life, and break free of that attachment. When we're done, you'll know that every audio file, every video or movie you have on your computer, NAS, or HTPC is something you'd actually watch, listen to, and enjoy. Photo by cambodia4kids.Storage Is Cheap, but That's No Excuse We can hear you now: "Storage is cheap! I can buy a 1TB external drive for less than $100 and keep everything there, and even take it with me! Who cares?" That's a fair point, however:Keeping everything creates mental clutter, too. If you're swimming in 1TB of digital music, or digital copies and Blu-rays of movies you've never even watched, trying to figure out what to listen to or which to watch is more difficult than just pressing play when you're in the mood. The bigger the music collection, the worse shuffle works, and the harder it is to make a playlist, or even choose a few songs to go when you need to hit the road. In the end, the more we have, the less we actually listen to and really enjoy. Photo by Paul Wells.Buying a hard drive for media you don't use is still buying stuff to hold more stuff you don't use. It may be cheap and small, but that doesn't make it less unnecessary clutter, and it doesn't make the drive's contents somehow more useful or valuable. Imagine if that 1TB drive were full of things you actually used and enjoyed, instead of your digital cast-offs.The purchase would be more worthwhile, wouldn't it?That extra storage still requires power to operate, and needs you to back it up. The power costs are miniscule, of course, but if you don't want to lose everything on that drive, you'll still want to back it up. If the drive is the backup, that's one thing, but if you don't want the data to die when that drive dies (and it will, someday), you'll need to back it up to a location with even more storage. See the problem?Like any good garage cleaning, we need to set up three buckets: Keep (store in an accessible location), Toss (delete), and Maybe (decide later, or archive instead of keep). This will determine whether we keep it nearby on our main computers or NAS devices, delete it entirely, or archive it some other way.You may also likeTwo CentsDo You Still Need to Cut Up Your Canceled Credit Cards?30 minutes agoGizmodoHow I Let Disney Track My Every MoveYesterday 6:18amio9Sony Is Weirdly Questioning Spider-Man's MCU Future After the Homecoming SequelYesterday 4:00pmRecent from Alan Henry101496.4KLifehacker · The Lifehacker StaffTop 10 Ways to Stay Safe On Public Wi-Fi Networks2/04/17 8:00am2815733KLifehacker · Alan HenryBe Good, Play Nice.

The Conway Cabal
February/March 1995 | Volume 46, Issue 1
Washington's disaffected former aide Thomas Mifflin, learning of the "weak general" bombshell, warned Gates that Washington had an extract of Conway's letter. He added his own opinion that Conway's evaluation expressed "just sentiments." Chagrined, a now defensive Gates wrote Washington expressing mildly persuasive shock over finding his private letters being "stealingly copied; but which of them, when, and by whom is to me as yet an unfathomable secret." Would Washington do him "a very important service, by detecting a wretch who may betray me?" Gates soon made the mistake of believing that wretch to be Alexander Hamilton, Washington's twenty-two-year-old aide, sent on a previous errand to Gates. Washington, meanwhile, was further aroused by Gates's reference to Conway's "letters" to him, in the plural. The Virginian had assumed the two did not know each other. What else had been going on? With no hint of apology to his commander, Gates informed him he was writing Congress, since he had no idea from what source, civilian or military, Washington had received the extract.
Washington was far from mollified. He and Gates were not close, and the latter had the irritating habit of sending all his communiqués to Congress, bypassing his commander in chief. Two weeks after Gates's victory at Saratoga, Washington still had not heard from him in an official capacity, as he had tweaked Gates in his letter of congratulation: "I cannot but regret, that a matter of such magnitude . . . should have reached me by report only ." Now Washington answered Gates in a series of letters that his biographer Henry Cabot Lodge hailed as "models of cold dignity, and calm indifference" but that in fact bristle with suppressed fury and convoluted sarcasm.
The Virginian first expressed "my great surprize" to learn that Gates had dragged Congress into the spat—"for what reason, I find myself unable to acct. . . . I am laid under the disagreeable necessity of returning my answer through the same channel." Gates had asked Washington to help locate the wretch who betrayed him. Washington was happy to comply. It was Gates's own aide, Wilkinson, who "fell in with Lord Stirling." Washington repeated verbatim the "weak general" passage to Gates—twice. Washington wrote that he had kept the letter secret, not telling "a single Officer in this Army . . . excepting the Marquis de la Fayette . . . under injunctions of secrecy." Having thus established his "openess and candour which I hope will ever characterize and mark my conduct," Washington turned disingenuous. Knowing the opposite to be true, he stated that he had originally assumed Gates had told Wilkinson to make the letter known, "with a friendly view to forewarn, and consequently forearm me , against a secret enemy." This enemy was that "dangerous incendiary; in which character, sooner or later, this Country will know Genl. Conway. But, in this, as in other matters of late, I have found myself mistaken . I am, etc."
In his next letter to Gates, Washington was even more caustic. Gates had tried to explain that the brouhaha was surely over "a wicked forgery," since Conway's original was "harmless." If a bit critical here and there, it did not contain the "weak general" phrase. Gates further praised Conway as "a firm and constant friend of America." With something warmer than calm indifference, Washington repeatedly used Gates's own words to facetiously slay each straw man. (The biographer Douglas Southall Freeman sees Hamilton's legal touch in his drafting.) He began by assailing Gates's frankness: "I am so unhappy as to find no small difficulty in reconciling the spirit and import of your different Letters, and sometimes of the different parts of the same Letter with each other." Instead of whining over who leaked the damnable passage, Washington pressed, why not send the original letter and remove all doubt!
Washington finished with a salvo at his bête noire , Conway, that "constant friend to America": It was "greatly to be lamented that "the United States have lost much" from Conway's "unseasonable diffidence , which prevented his embracing the numerous opportunities he had in Council, of displaying those rich treasures of knowledge and experience he has since so freely laid open to you ." It surely could not have been "to any other cause than an excess of Modesty." Washington finished by describing the "qualifications of his heart; of which, at least, I beg leave to assume the privilege of being a tolerable judge." In that department "he is capable of all the malignity of detraction, and all the meanesses of intrigue, to gratify the absurd resentment of disappointed vanity."
Things began cooling down after another exchange of letters. Gates stated that he had no personal connection with Conway, "nor had I any correspondence, previous to his writing the letter which has given offence [a falsehood]. . . . He therefore must be responsible; as I heartily dislike controversy. . . . I solemnly declare that I am of no faction; and if any of my letters taken aggregately or by paragraphs convey any meaning, which in any construction is offensive to your Excellency, that was by no means the intention of the writer." Gates implored Washington not to "spend another moment upon this subject."
