On March 5, 1973, Marlon Brando declined the best actor Academy Award for his gut-wrenching performance as Vito Corleone in "The Godfather." He did so for an unexpected reason.
In the 1960s, Brando's career had slid into decline. His previous two movies — the famously over-budget "One-Eyed Jacks" and "Mutiny on the Bounty" —
John Brevard Thorn Slender Gold Ring mIVXN2AMX
. Some critics "Mutiny" marked the end of Hollywood's golden age, and worse still, rumors of Brando's unruly behavior on set turned him into one of the least desirable actors to work with in some ways.
Brando's career needed saving. "The Godfather" was his defibrillator.
In the epic portrayal of a 1940s New York Mafia family directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Brando plays the patriarch, the original don. Though the film follows his son Michael (played by Al Pacino), Vito Corleone is its spine. A ruthless, violent criminal, he loves and protects the family by any means necessary. It's the warmth of his humanity that makes him indestructible — a paradox shaped by Brando's remarkable performance.
"The Godfather"
grossed nearly $135 million nationwide
and is heralded as one of the greatest films of all time. Pinned against
Angara Diamond Halo Opal Dangle Earrings in Yellow Gold 4eMedbII6
— Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, and Peter O'Toole — Brando was favored to win best actor.
On the eve of the 45th Academy Awards, Brando announced that he would boycott the ceremony and send Sacheen Littlefeather , a little-known actress, in his place. She was the president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee.
On the evening of March 5, when Liv Ullman and Roger Moore read the name of the best-actor recipient, neither presenter parted their lips in a smile. Their gaze fell on a woman in Apache dress, whose long, dark hair bobbed against her shoulders as she climbed the stairs.
Moore extended the award to Littlefeather, who waved it away with an open palm. She set down a letter on the podium, introduced herself, and said :
"I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening and he has asked me to tell you ... that he very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry —"
The crowd booed. Littlefeather looked down and said, "Excuse me." Others in the audience began to clap, cheering her on. She continued only briefly, to "beg" that her appearance was not an intrusion and say that they would "meet with love and generosity" in the future.
Watch the scene unfold:
In 1973, Native Americans had "virtually no representation in the film industry and were primarily used as extras," Dina Gilio-Whitaker, a Native American studies scholar,

After oil was first discovered in 1885 in northern Sumatra, the hydrocarbon sector became an important part of Indonesia's economy. Indonesia produced 911,000 barrels per day (b/d) of petroleum and other liquids in 2014, ranking as the 22nd-largest oil producer in the world in 2014 and accounting for about 1% of world production. Although Indonesia's petroleum and other liquids production has declined over the past two decades, the country continues to export crude oil and condensates within the region. Indonesia is also located along a strategic maritime transit route, the Strait of Malacca , which serves much of East Asia with oil imports from the Middle East.
Indonesia is scheduled to rejoin OPEC in December 2015, after suspending its membership in January 2009. Indonesia originally joined OPEC in 1962. The 2009 exit was prompted by growing internal demand for energy, declining production (most notably in mature fields), and limited investment to increase capacity. Indonesia had become a net oil importer by 2004 after domestic demand outstripped production, which has been on a general decline since 1991 (Figure 2). Indonesia claims that rejoining OPEC will strengthen its cooperation with oil-producing countries, provide greater access to crude oil supplies, and allow the country to be a link between energy producers and consumers. Indonesia currently buys crude oil and oil products through third-parties or traders and wants direct access to long-term crude oil supply contracts through negotiations made between national oil companies. These crude oil imports are needed to meet expected refining capacity additions from proposed upgrades and expansions slated to come online within the next decade. Indonesia also hopes to attract more infrastructure investment by OPEC members for its upstream and downstream energy infrastructure projects. OPEC notified Indonesia that it plans to accept the country's request to re-activate its membership with the organization as a full member at the next OPEC meeting in December 2015. Indonesia currently imports crude oil and refined products to meet domestic demand.
International oil companies, particularly Chevron and Total, dominate Indonesia's upstream oil sector. State-owned energy company Pertamina must balance its needs as a corporation against its mandate as a national oil company to meet domestic demand.
International oil companies (IOCs) in the Indonesian oil market include Chevron, Total, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, and BP. Chevron is the largest oil producer in Indonesia, accounting for about 40% of the country's crude oil production in 2014. PT Pertamina (Pertamina), Indonesia's state-owned integrated energy supply company, accounted for approximately 30% of domestic crude oil production in 2014, according to company data, making the national oil company (NOC) the second-largest oil producer, Other IOCs involved in developing Indonesia's oil reserves are Total, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil. NOCs, such as the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), PetroChina, and South Korea 's KNOC, also hold upstream assets.
In addition to its upstream activities, Pertamina operates nearly all of Indonesia's refinery capacity, procures crude oil and product imports, and supplies petroleum products to the domestic market. Pertamina's monopoly in the retail market ended in 2004, but the company continued to be the sole distributor for subsidized fuels until early 2010. Pertamina must balance its own needs as a corporation to increase export profits with its mandate as a national oil company charged with meeting domestic demand.
The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is responsible for entering into production sharing contracts (PSCs) with interested oil companies. Indonesia's 2001 Oil and Gas Law significantly restructured Indonesia's upstream oil and natural gas sector, transferring the upstream regulatory role from Pertamina to BPMigas, a state-owned legal entity that was tasked with managing and implementing PSCs. Although Pertamina continues to be wholly state-owned, the 2001 law also established it as a limited liability corporation in 2003.
SKK Migas, a special task force that is operating until the government amends the 2001 Oil and Gas Law, is tasked with managing and implementing PSCs, determining sellers of government shares of oil and gas, and increasing oil and gas production for domestic demand. The President of Indonesia is ultimately responsible for formulating oil and gas regulatory policy, while parliament provides oversight and consent. Following a corruption case within SKK Migas and arrest of its former chairman in late-2013, the entity lost the right to market the country's unused oil and gas designated for domestic use within Indonesia. The government transferred exclusive domestic marketing rights to state-owned Pertamina. One of the new government's proposed reforms is to convert SKK Migas into a state-owned enterprise.
Oil production in Indonesia continued to decline in 2014 as there were no major new production projects to offset declines at older fields. Aging infrastructure and fields suggest the country will struggle to meet production targets in the short term.

When it came to movies, 2017 was full of surprises. Well, 2017 was full of all kinds of surprises, but these are the pleasant ones. This was one of those years where many of the big blockbusters didn't disappoint, and each month on the calendar delivered something worth seeking out.
It was a good year for movies, all in all. So good that we couldn't find room for everything we wanted in here, including Lucky , Loving Vincent , I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore , and The Florida Project . Hell, even Valerian , Justice League , and The Greatest Showman have their defenders around these parts. While our critics have their own top 10 lists for the year , eventually the whole Den of Geek staff was able to settle on the broader list below. Not all of these were critical darlings, but they're the ones we enjoyed, can rewatch, and that sparked discussion and debate.Loving Vincent I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore The Florida Project Valerian Justice League The Greatest Showman Den of Geek

One of the most successful anime films of all time (its original theatrical run was in 2016, but the 2017 English dub gets it in here on a technicality), Your Name got an American theatrical release in 2017, bringing writer-director Makoto Shinkai's fantastical tale of body-swapping teens to the U.S.Your Name
The lives of Taki, a boy living in Tokyo, and Mitsuha, a girl growing up in rural mountain village, are forever changed when they begin to switch lives through a dream connection. The narrative zigs into the science fiction genre halfway through the film, keeping even the most savvy viewer on her toes with an unexpected, heart-wrenching twist. The film has already landed a live-action adaptation deal in Hollywood, but it will be impossible to top the vivid and vibrant imagery of this weird, wonderful anime story.
And now, on with the rest of our list...
Our review :
T2 looks and feels like a film stolen on the hoof, as though it might have been shot on weekends when the budget allowed. In a handful of scenes, this is to its detriment - an otherwise moving reprisal of the "Choose Life" bit from 1996 is marred by some distractingly obvious ADR - but overall, Boyle wins more than he loses with his fast-and-dirty approach. This may be a sequel to a 20 year-old film, but it still feels vital.

The History
In the 1920s, the idea of personality type was being explored by leading scientists and philosophers. A Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, wrote Psychological Types during that time, in which he gave a detailed description of what has now become one of the most widely used typologies in the world.
In the 1940s, Isabel Myers began developing a self-report questionnairethe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrumentthat could help people find where they fit in Jung's theory. The use of this instrument has led to an almost universal understanding that there are sixteen basic personality types, each of which can be 'named' by a four-letter personality type code.
Jung first noticed that people seemed fundamentally different in terms of whether they were more extraverted, oriented to the external world of people and experiences outside themselves, or introverted, oriented to their internal worlds of thoughts, ideas, feelings, and memories. Then he noticed more differences in terms of what people were doing in each of those worlds. These he called "functions." They are now thought of as cognitive processes.
Using metaphors for names, Jung described two kinds of cognitive processesperception and judgment. Sensation and Intuition were the two kinds of perception.

He said that every mental act consists of using at least one of these four cognitive processes. Then he described eight personality types that were characterized by using one of the processes in either the extraverted or introverted world; extraverted Sensing types, introverted Sensing types, extraverted iNtuiting* types, introverted iNtuiting types, extraverted Thinking types, introverted Thinking types, extraverted Feeling types, and introverted Feeling types. He also suggested that these processes operate not just as the dominant process in a personality but also in other ways.
As Isabel Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, began to craft a self-report instrument, they faced several challenges. They had to take what Jung had seen as an integrated whole personality pattern and try to figure out how to ask questions to get at that whole. They chose to focus on Jung's notion of opposites and force choices between equally valuable psychological opposites. They also added a dichotomy to help reveal the type pattern. The result was sixteen types, each indicated by a four-letter code such as ENFP or ISTJ.
Type as a Whole Pattern,
Not Just Four Letters
The purpose of this website is to help you understand how the type codes represent patterns of how we use the eight cognitive processesextraverted Sensing, introverted Sensing, extraverted iNtuiting, introverted iNtuiting, extraverted Thinking, introverted Thinking, extraverted Feeling, and introverted Feeling.
INFORMATION-ACCESSING PROCESSESPerception
Sensing: Experiencing the

ST. LOUIS (AP) — This year is off to a deadly start in St. Louis.
KMOV-TV (http://bit.ly/T0AERd ) reports that 16 homicides were reported in the first four weeks of 2013. By comparison, the city had just two homicides in January 2011 and 11 last January.
Police Chief Sam Dotson says the violent month is largely the result of two groups killing each other. He says the city seldom has random shootings where innocent people are targeted.
But Dotson says even one homicide is too many. The problem, he says, is that a segment of society resorts to violence instead of trying to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner.

Jay T. Morris is a 52-year-old man with a pit bull named Moose and a history of causing headaches along the Seattle waterfront. Earlier this year, Morris and his champagne-colored four-legged friend unwittingly became the poster children for one of several new approaches launched under the Center City Initiative, a program championed by Mayor Mike McGinn as a way to solve Seattle's problems with street disorder and reduce the number of homeless people on the street.
As police reports and Seattle Police Department's Sgt. Paul Gracy tell it, Morris made a name on the waterfront as a chronic nuisance, sitting or lying on the sidewalk near Argosy Cruises with his unlicensed canine and a tattered collection of belongings, including blankets and signs. Local business owners came to know and loathe him. The police were called—repeatedly. For months, nothing changed.
"Basically, he blew me off," remembers Gracy, who says he often had the unenviable task of responding to complaints about Morris. "Finally, we decided that we would have to start giving him citations. . . . He didn't care."
It's not an unusual story.
In Seattle, many of the low-level criminal behaviors associated with chronic homelessness—public urination, open alcohol containers, and violations of the city's sit/lie ordinance—are civil infractions, punishable by a citation and a fine. The citation for drinking in public, which police say is the most common, carries a $27 penalty. According to Seattle Municipal Court records, in 2012 police issued 551 such citations. Of those, 470 ended up in default—meaning the person on the receiving end never paid or responded.
In other words, the citations don't work. John Schochet, the deputy chief of staff at the City Attorney's Office, admits that "There tends to be a pretty low response rate."
Enter the Center City Initiative (CCI), a city-led effort to find not just common ground between commerce and compassion, but, more important, results when dealing with street disorder, chronic homelessness, and the problems associated with all of the above. Since October, the city has hosted five volunteer roundtable CCI discussions, where roughly 45 "stakeholders"—including social workers from Evergreen Treatment Services and the Downtown Emergency Services Center; business leaders from the Pioneer Square Alliance and the Downtown Seattle Association; advocates from Real Change and the NW Immigrant Rights Project; and law-enforcement officials from the Seattle Police Department, the Department of Corrections, and the City Attorney's Office—all gather in a big room with the daunting directive of solving a problem that many say is getting out of control. In addition to the full-scale roundtables, a number of smaller workgroups have been created under CCI to study specific problems and report back to the group. The roundtables have been moderated by Dr. Stephen Page of the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Affairs.
CCI is a pure reflection of Seattle's love of process.
Of course, this isn't the first time the problem of homelessness in Seattle and King County has been targeted. The 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness, introduced in March 2005, is currently in year eight, and despite the planners' best efforts and the Plan's many real accomplishments, the number of homeless people on the street has remained steady over the past few years (thanks in no small part to the Great Recession and social-services funding cuts at the state and federal level). King County's Committee to End Homelessness estimates that, over the course of a year, more than 24,000 people in King County will experience an episode of homelessness—the bulk of them in Seattle.
Despite the scale of the problem, however, many involved express sincere hope that this effort will succeed where others have failed. And the way Morris and his pit bull have been dealt with is just one of many compromises, and tenuous agreements between business and social services, that have emerged from the CCI table.
The City Attorney's Office, under the leadership of Pete Holmes, has historically chosen not to pursue defaulted citations, arguing that to do so would in essence criminalize an infraction considered civil, and, consequently, criminalize poverty itself. When someone fails to respond, the City Attorney has the option to issue an arrest warrant; it just isn't done. Or wasn't—until earlier this year, when Morris and his dog pushed the envelope.
In a departure from past procedure, and in direct response to the CCI discussions, Holmes' office has agreed to file failure-to-respond charges on what's described as a "case-by-case basis," allowing for an arrest warrant to be issued when it might prove helpful in dealing with habitual offenders. Last April, Morris received the first one.
Not long after receiving the warrant, police say, Morris left the waterfront and hasn't been back.
The City Attorney's Office says it doesn't anticipate filing charges often, but it will become one of law enforcement's tools for dealing with chronic street disorder. "We've committed to use this model," says Schochet, of the new approach, which provides teeth to existing city laws. "If more cases are brought to us, we'll use it."
"[Morris would] still be down there today if we hadn't issued the warrant," says Gracy.
But CCI isn't about just getting tough on street disorder or dispatching the homeless. Far from it, actually. In an exercise defined by its compromises, Morris' case represents more a nod of acknowledgment to frustrated business owners and intimidated tourists than an indication of CCI's philosophical bent. Somewhere, Morris—or someone much like him—is still out there and still needs help. While the concerns of business owners are being listened to and respected, CCI has provided victories for social-services advocates as well. The discussion has gone both ways.
According to Lisa Daugaard—deputy director of the public-defense agency The Defender Association and one of the most respected voices at the CCI table—the big trade-off that has guided CCI so far is straightforward, but new to Seattle: Advocates and social-service providers recognize that people sleeping in doorways, camping in parks, drinking in public, and peeing in alleys makes doing business downtown difficult, while business owners attempt to come to terms with the reality that Seattle can't solve this multifaceted problem simply through tougher laws.
Nine months into this process—which many have called "unprecedented" for Seattle, thanks to the number of interests drawn into cooperation—CCI is just now beginning to bear tangible fruit for those living on the street and the people fighting on their behalf in City Hall. Mayor Mike McGinn plans to request $1.5 million in funding in his next budget to expand the LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) program throughout the downtown core. A new "Multidisciplinary Team" of law-enforcement officials, social workers, and advocates has been created to help revamp the way the city conducts outreach to homeless and drug-addicted people, taking cues from cities like L.A., San Diego. and Philadelphia. And the city's Office of Housing is working to free shelter bed space by getting long-term shelter users into more permanent housing.
According to most, however, CCI's biggest accomplishment so far has been the dialogue and understanding fostered within an entangled community more accustomed to fighting than working together. No longer is the conversation purely business vs. social services. While raw frustrations remain, leaders on both sides say there's something different about the Center City Initiative.
"In my experience, something like this would have fizzled after three meetings," says former director of Seattle's Human Services Department Dannette Smith, who played an integral role in CCI before leaving her post in mid-June to become the human-services director for the city of Virginia Beach, Va. Prior to her appointment by McGinn, Smith served in similar capacities in Georgia, North Carolina, and Chicago. From her 58th-floor corner office—a perch where a Seattleite could practically see every homeless person in the city—Smith described the city as at a "crossroads" in the way it deals with homelessness and street disorder.
"I've never seen anything like this," says Real Change founder and executive director Tim Harris of CCI. "I'm pretty cynical about things, but these meetings have been very inspiring to me."
Whether they are inspiring is beside the point. Will they work?
The "See It, Send It" campaign launched by Visit Seattle may have been the jolt that made CCI possible.
It started with a letter sent sent by an unnamed tourist to Mayor Mike McGinn and then Police Chief John Diaz last September. "Walking through the smell of human waste, and my 10-year-old son stepping in human feces on the sidewalk, erased the actual beauty of the market," it read. "I can honestly say I am more afraid of walking in downtown Seattle than Chicago."
The letter struck a chord with Visit Seattle, a nonprofit tasked with selling the Emerald City to tourists and large-scale conventions. As the letter was getting local press attention, Visit Seattle launched "See It, Send It," urging business owners and residents to take photos of illegal or unsavory activity downtown and deliver them to city council members and the mayor's office.
More than just photos emerged. Some images came in narrative form—for instance, the story of "Tom" (name changed), submitted by Jon Scholes, the Downtown Seattle Association's vice president of advocacy and economic development. His account is based on an e-mail report by the supervisor of the Metropolitan Improvement District's Safety Ambassadors—those yellow-vest-clad envoys, financed through tax assessments on downtown properties, tasked with maintaining the city's downtown core. Among other things, MID ambassadors are on the front lines of Seattle's homelessness and street-disorder problem.
According to Scholes, the story of Tom "details the impacts that one individual is having on the downtown neighborhood, the challenges he's facing, and the public cost involved." Tom's story was later used in an early CCI meeting to illustrate the extent of street-disorder issues downtown.
As far as we can tell, "Tom" has not showered in months, nor has he changed his clothes. He will urinate in his trousers several times a week; literally sitting on the ground and wetting his pants while we are talking to him. He is bright enough to figure out the nuance of what he can get away with in terms of his behavior on the street, yet he walks around wearing several months of his own urine and feces. . . . Business providers are frustrated by his presence and feel that he has a direct negative impact on their business, their staff, and their customers. . . . Opportunities for engagement have been provided to Tom roughly 100 times in the past 30 days by the MID outreach team. Tom is also well known to the service-provider community, who has attempted engagement two times per week since 2008.
"It opened up a dialogue. We did not want it to be a public dialogue, necessarily," says Visit Seattle President and CEO Tom Norwalk of "See It, Send It." "We did not want it to be a public debate pitting the hotel industry or retail industry against homelessness.
"We have issues that are complex in the city," he adds. "How do we address it and get to a point where we do something? . . . Frustration gave birth to 'See It, Send It.' "
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn has witnessed some of that frustration firsthand, receiving harsh criticism from some corners of the business community for his handling of street disorder and homelessness-related blight. "See It, Send It" was a revelation, laying bare the business community's deep discontent.
"When the 'See It, Send It' campaign came our way, I can tell you my reaction was 'Oh geez, we're working so hard on this stuff, and the fact of the matter is we're seeing really great economic outcomes downtown. We're seeing a record number of hotel stays, a record number of cruise-ship boardings.' But then I was, like, 'OK, well, you know, we've got to elevate this even more, invite everyone to the table here and really focus on solutions."
One month after the letter was sent, the first CCI roundtable was held.
Visit Seattle's stake in the game is clear. Tourism in King County is a nearly $6-billion-a-year business, with much of that action in downtown Seattle. The city hosts 40 to 45 large-scale conventions a year—events often booked five or 10 years in advance, each pumping from $5 million to $25 million into the tourism economy in a week. Norwalk says competition for these conventions is fierce, and that several meeting planners have said that for them to return to the Emerald City, they'd need to see marked improvement in Seattle's downtown street disorder. Whether Seattle has ever missed out on a convention because of any of the unsightly activities that fall under the broad term "street disorder" is unclear; Visit Seattle says their agreements with meeting planners bar them from discussing the topic.
So far, however, Norwalk calls CCI "very encouraging." The Downtown Seattle Association agrees, as does Leslie Smith of the Alliance for Pioneer Square. While not everyone is sold on the idea—it certainly has its critics—the list of businesses and neighborhood organizations that endorse CCI goes on.
Marc Berrier, who bears a resemblance to a heavily tattooed Eddie Vedder, is a 37-year-old homeless man currently housed through the Seattle Union Gospel Mission. Originally from Pennsylvania, he describes his father as the owner of a construction company and his mother as a retired government worker. After studying business marketing and earning a bachelor's degree from Ohio State, Berrier says he worked for Red Bull as a district manager and later as an East Coast supervisor for Snapple and Dr. Pepper.
Then drinking caught up with him.
"My job really was to take care of customers. Take people out, show them a good time. My drinking just got real bad," he recalls, sitting at a cafeteria table at the Union Gospel Mission Men's Shelter. "It got to the point where I woke up in the morning and I had to drink." Now eight months sober, Berrier rattles off a list of jobs he's held for short periods in Seattle, all eventually thwarted by his drinking.
He's not alone. According to the 2013 One-Night Count, 1,989 individuals were found living unsheltered outside in Seattle—equaling nearly 73 percent of King County's shelterless population. Of them, 194 were found under roadways, 139 in doorways, 69 in bushes or undergrowth, and 257 simply "walking around." County-wide, 8,830 homeless individuals were identified during the One-Night Count, with 6,236 found in shelters or transitional housing. The rest were on the street.
Berrier, who sees the many misconceptions people have about those living on the street, says he ended up in Seattle after first becoming homeless in Las Vegas. He picked the Emerald City on a whim. "I didn't have anything. A case worker had given me a backpack and a four-pack of Ensure," he remembers. "I don't really know what happened. I got pretty messed up on the bus. I woke up at Harborview. . . . They gave me a place to stay at DESC.
"The next day I went and wandered around the city."
With a college degree and a middle-class upbringing, Berrier doesn't fit the stereotype. But that's just the thing, according to Union Gospel Mission Special Projects Director Mike Johnson: The conversation of homelessness is one in which we too often fail to see people for who they actually are. "There's a deep level of personal brokenness, relational brokenness; people who don't know how to work with themselves or others or the world around them. They're adrift," says Johnson of those living on Seattle's streets. "What I would hope is that we wouldn't just find some new tools, but that we would find a better narrative. And I think CCI is a step in the right direction.
"[Previous efforts to end homelessness] have all been about, 'Let's create all these resources,' the narrative being 'People need resources, and want resources, and they need help, and if you made the resources, people could access them and get better.' . . . Now we're realizing that it's not just a lack of resources."
This assessment seems backed up by Berrier's experience, which eventually landed him in the year-long program offered by the Mission. "If you had to be homeless anywhere, it'd be here. . . . You can eat 10 times before noon, just in this area. If you go hungry in Seattle because you're homeless, you just want to," he says of the Emerald City's compassion.
"People think that the homeless aren't trying. Or they think that everyone's just a drug addict that doesn't want help," he says. "I mean, I am an alcoholic, but I gave that up to work to try to get out. That's a huge misconception. It's just how the cookie crumbled for me."
Sitting on an expensive couch inside Dania, the upscale furniture store on Western Avenue that she's managed for eight years, Lisa Grimbly, who hasn't been part of the official CCI discussions, looks out the window, sees the street, and thinks about the roughly 30 homeless people who once camped outside her store every night. Though she says things have improved on her block over the past several months, she still sounds skeptical—visions of used needles and the smell of human waste fresh in her mind—when discussing the city's efforts to tackle its homeless problem.
"We're not bashing the homeless," she says emphatically, making sure to stress the point. "But some of it is getting out of control. . . . My concern is that there's not going to be any mother walking by with her children if she wants to come visit our shops."
Like many business owners, Grimbly says she wants the homeless to get the help they need. But she'd also like to see the city strengthen its regulation of the generally unenforced laws against sitting and lying during daytime hours, panhandling, open containers, and public urination. In essence, she'd like to see more of the constant troublemakers get the Jay T. Morris treatment, and believes the city still has a long way to go on this front. "I know it sounds kind of backwards, but it's not working being so lenient," she contends. "Actually, it's attracting more of the people that are misplaced and homeless."
Grimbly isn't the only person who has called for strengthening laws aimed at reducing homelessness' unsightly aspects. Most recently, in 2010 Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess proposed an aggressive panhandling bill that was eventually vetoed by McGinn. Historically, such efforts in Seattle have done little more than start arguments.
Kate Joncas, president and CEO of the Downtown Seattle Association, says CCI is helping move the conversation forward. "I think we're just all very frustrated with what the street-disorder conditions can be in the downtown neighborhoods," says Joncas, who is widely credited by those in CCI with helping to hold together the business leaders involved. "For many years, we all would point fingers. . . . Instead of going that way, [with CCI] we all said, 'Look, it's our problem, as a neighborhood. We all share it.'
"It sounds kind of simple, but it enabled us to start having a conversation [that wasn't happening before]," Joncas continues. "We can now admit the truth of the matter."
That's not to say that everyone is thrilled. While folks like Joncas and Norwalk credit the mayor for starting the conversation and credit the city for trying a new approach to what feels like an age-old problem, in other parts of Seattle, frustration nears the boiling point. In Pioneer Square, for instance, which roughly 2,100 residents call home—1,200 of them in a shelter bed or some form of transitional housing, according to numbers provided by the Alliance for Pioneer Square—Shari Druckman-Roberts sees the people hanging out in Occidental Park and speaks with anger in her voice. Not part of the CCI discussions, the owner of From the Heart Pottery since 2006 remains skeptical of approaches to solving the homelessness problem based on offering more services. "These people should not be on the street. They should not be allowed to sleep in the street. They should not be allowed to be out in public with mental disorders, if they have them, or if they're drug addicts, they need to go away," she says. "People like us are going to get angrier and angrier, and without the proper police support, we're going to start to take things into our own hands. Which means people are going to get hosed down.
"Like, if I was Dania, I'd hook up a hose and hose all [the homeless people] down in the morning," she continues. "What kind of humanity is that?"
A native New Yorker, Druckman-Roberts says she'd like to see an approach similar to the get-tough efforts on homelessness that made headlines there in the late '90s, when Mayor Rudy Giuliani famously cracked down on street disorder by ordering all "able-bodied" homeless people to work in exchange for city-provided shelter and services—going as far as to threaten the homeless with the prospect of losing their children to foster care. While critics have debated how much credit these get-tough measures should get, if any, Druckman-Roberts points to the Toys R Us that's now in Times Square and says a similar tactic is needed in Seattle. "I'm against a lot of the entitlements that enable people to remain victims. That's what the problem is. Everyone wants to do good, but they're not doing good. They're not helping anybody," she says. "Seattle's allowing people to sleep and defecate and God only knows what else in the streets. It's a humiliation for both sides.
"We need to hire a new mayor," she concludes.
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn leans back in his chair in a windowless room in the back of his International District campaign office. Locked in a fierce re-election battle, he turns his attention to homelessness and street disorder, a topic familiar to him.
A few nights prior, at a mayoral forum sponsored by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, McGinn had vigorously defended his record in dealing with these problems. It wasn't the first time he'd been put on the spot. In this campaign season, the mayor has earned a reputation for holding a horn-tooting press conference for even the most trivial administration accomplishments. Though he hasn't yet done so for CCI, when pressed on the topic of street disorder, pointing to CCI has become his standard response. Whether that response is resonating, however, is another matter. Two weeks after the forum, citing downtown safety as one reason, the Chamber of Commerce officially endorsed one of McGinn's many challengers, state Sen. Ed Murray.
"Other people can judge. I can tell you what we've done," a reflective McGinn says of his administration's record on homelessness and street disorder. "We have serious issues in this city right now, and we want to address those issues."
"We're bringing everyone together," he says of CCI, an effort he's largely credited with spearheading. "We have to do it in a way that doesn't get us back to the open political warfare on the issue. Because then everyone retreats to their camps, and nobody is listening."
McGinn will be counting on people like Seattle Police West Precinct Captain Jim Dermody. The lifelong Seattleite and second-generation Emerald City cop is known for his love of data. When Dermody, who holds an executive master's degree from UW's Evans School, sees Seattle's troubles with homelessness and street disorder, he looks to science to guide him. He's been on the job in the West Precinct roughly 14 months, after being transferred downtown from the East Precinct in May 2012.
One thing that gives Dermody hope is the forthcoming effort to expand LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) throughout the downtown core—an idea birthed at the CCI table. With the mayor's office preparing a budget request to put $1.5 million on the table in 2014 for the program, the expansion would allow officers throughout downtown to work with a recently formed Multidisciplinary Team of outreach workers, MID ambassadors, DOC officials, and advocates to target chronic offenders, offering intensive social-service outreach and intervention instead of jail stays.
LEAD is already used in Belltown, its cross-hairs on drug and prostitution offenders. Although tweaks may be made to allow for the handling of other street-disorder-related offenses, officials believe the program has been successful enough in getting habitual offenders into services and out of the low-level criminal loop to warrant its expansion. According to Lisa Daugaard—who helped orchestrate LEAD's rollout in Belltown via nearly $1 million in private grants, and who has also been involved in planning the program's downtown expansion—the $1.5 million will go toward staffing and the purchase of wrap-around services like drug and alcohol treatment, mental-health services, and housing for as many chronic offenders as possible. She says the figure was decided upon "based on the approximate cost of providing services so far for the volume of people we've served in Belltown, and then expanding by that ratio for the rest of downtown."
"Anecdotally, we know there are folks [in Belltown] receiving services through LEAD that are not out re-offending," says Dermody, who would welcome the program's expansion.
The newly established Multidisciplinary Team will attempt and monitor targeted outreach to a specific list of chronic offenders—an approach that's seen success in other cities. Daugaard estimates the list will eventually include a little over 100 names, and though she admits some reservations about directing the city's limited resources toward a group that's targeted largely for their business-nuisance factor, she says the savings made possible by these efficiencies will allow, overall, for more of Seattle's homeless to get the help they deserve.
On the other side of the coin, Dermody is up-front about law enforcement's limitations in handling all the issues related to homelessness and street disorder, saying there's no way Seattle can "arrest its way out of these problems." He's shared these challenges at the CCI table. "The main complaints I hear from stakeholders downtown are about the open-air drug selling and drug use and the impact of the homeless issues," he says, noting that the bulk of King County's social services are located in four square miles of downtown Seattle.
"Seattle is a service-rich city. We are known in some places as Free-attle," he says. "We have that reputation."
Dermody sees the magnitude of the problem, but that's not to say he believes it's insurmountable. Championing a science-based approach also launched under the CCI umbrella, targeting downtown's crime "hot spots"—areas with established high levels of low-level criminal activity—the captain is adamant that progress can be made. True to form, he points to data when describing the progress so far. He says that 911 calls in the downtown core are down across the board, and major crimes were down 15 percent in January–May 2013 from the same period in 2012. Property crimes dropped 15 percent in the West Precinct over the same span, with 900 fewer thefts than last year. The major crime total for May in the West Precinct was the lowest for that month in six years. There was also a 9 percent reduction in violent crimes, with a 16 percent drop in robbery and a 5 percent drop in aggravated assaults.
"The message is we're headed in the right direction," the captain says of the trends and the impact CCI has provided.
Lisa Daugaard's office, in the unassuming downtown home of The Defender Association, is a mess. She says she hopes to clean it someday—perhaps filing away the stacks of paperwork that occupy nearly every bit of open desk and table space—but the likelihood of that is slim. In a corner, propped against a wall, is a poster from Daugaard's time working on homeless issues in New York. The picture of a cop in full riot gear is captioned: "RUDY GIULIANI'S IDEA OF A SOCIAL WORKER."
Given her role as an advocate for the poor and homeless, Daugaard's response to the hard-line positions of people like Druckman-Roberts could be seen as surprising. "That pushes all the triggers. In the past, the reaction [from the social-services and advocate community] would have been, 'That's wrong and misguided and needs to be opposed,' " Daugaard says. "The CCI conversation is different," she claims, because the sentiments of business owners who just want to see the homeless stop sleeping in front of their storefronts is "actually a pretty strong consensus view. It isn't optimal for people to be living on the street. Very few people in the conversation really want this to be a conversation about whether people have a right to live on the sidewalk."
That's a new stance for folks like Daugaard—one of many fostered by CCI. "From a civil-liberties standpoint, [the CCI conversations have meant] that those of us who advocate for the rights of poor people are not fighting for the right of people to live on the sidewalk. I will fight for the right for people to live undisturbed on the sidewalk unless we're offering them an alternative; we're saying that's not the main conversation; we're saying let's have a conversation that's the alternative," says Daugaard. "That's a big leap of faith." She estimates that 80 percent of Seattle's homelessness and street-disorder problems stem from a social-services and human-services gap.
But while Daugaard exudes hope, others remain skeptical—the main issue being money, for good reason.
Real Change's Harris describes Downtown Emergency Services Center Executive Director Bill Hobson, also a key member of the CCI discussions, as an "unofficial spokesperson for the human-services tribe." As Harris points out, during his three-decade career Hobson has seen everything when it comes to grappling with the problems associated with homelessness in Seattle. Through repeated heavy sighs and a bit of chewing tobacco in his lower lip to take the edge off, Hobson talks about the reality of what something like CCI can accomplish, given the shortage of resources and the constantly shrinking state social-services budget (Amnon Shoenfeld of the King County Mental Health, Chemical Abuse and Dependency Services Division says state funding for mental-health and substance-abuse programs has decreased by "well over $20 million" in the past four years).
"The problem with outreach, to be successful, you have to have resources to bring people to," Hobson says. "You have to have, at least initially, an emergency shelter to bring people to; you have to have permanent housing to bring people to. We don't have that; all of our shelters are full, because there's not enough available permanent support of housing to bring people to. [CCI isn't] getting into that."
According to King County's Committee to End Homelessness, in 2012 roughly 2,583 shelter beds were available, with 92 percent of those in Seattle. Seattle's Office of Housing has been involved in the construction of more than 50 new housing projects since 2002 that support the 10-Year Plan, providing 2,229 units for formerly homeless people. In 2012, Seattle provided $32.4 million in funding for shelters and drug and alcohol treatment, despite dwindling money from the state and federal government. In the adopted budget for 2013, about $50 million is allocated for shelters, drug and alcohol treatment, and housing.
Still, Hobson says it's far from enough. And without a much bigger investment, he argues, the outreach efforts launched under CCI will go only so far. "The permanent solution is permanent housing for this population. And I don't see a whole lot of hope for that situation," says Hobson. "I see CCI not grappling with that larger issue. It's too big. It's too onerous. And so we come down here and think we can deal with it with services. Which to a limited degree we can, but it's only a limited degree."
Marc Berrier, who credits much of his drinking to "a personal sense of failure," says he's hopeful about his future. He'd like to get back into sales someday. Recently he climbed to the summit of Mt. Hood with a team of his Union Gospel alums; there are plans to take Rainier this summer.
As for the future, Berrier admits, "There's no telling what's going to happen to me once I get out of here . . . It's something that I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life," he says of his alcoholism. "And that sucks."
When told that city and business leaders, advocates, and law-enforcement officials have been gathering for nine months to come up with a plan to help people get off the streets for good, Berrier has one simple response: "How?"
That's the million-dollar question. Only time will tell if CCI is able to provide an answer.

Clair Sarsozo - Navigating grief
Each of us is born with a timer — a limit to the number of times our hearts will beat. But the concept of death seems contrary to the habit of following our naturally progressive hopes and dreams for the future. This habit tends to render us incapable of anticipating the eventual final breath of loved ones.
Each individual's grief is unique to the circumstances of a person's death, commensurate with the relationship held. As survivors, we join the departed on a new journey — ours is known as grief and mourning.
My personal journey through grief has required me to reconcile my hopes for my family and community with the gaping void left when they die. For me, the balance can be accomplished only by facing my despair, resolving my vulnerability and attempting to demonstrate one way of navigating this journey.
Loss of my parents
I was 12 in when my father died, in 1976. Triggered by shock, denial kept me from comprehending the reality of his death. I imagined he was off on an exciting adventure to an unknown place, and that one day I would see him again. My brain simply was unable to fully understand what had happened.
Our relationship had a solid bond, but our broken family prevented our spending regular time together. His death, and the absence of his emotional support and guidance, triggered painful emotions including anger, fear, resentment, emptiness, abandonment — normal feelings in even the most supportive environments.
Before my mother died of cancer five years later, I found myself bargaining with God, offering to trade places. After her death, I called upon God to bring her to my dreams, where I hoped to experience maternal guidance. She visited my dreams for 17 years before "crossing the bridge." At that point, I realized my own autonomy. With therapy and self-enlightenment, I have learned to care for myself in the ways I longed for from my deceased mother.
My son's violent death
When my son was murdered in 2011, knowing what he endured from the unfathomable will of another human being was unbearable. But chemical releases within my brain kept me numb and protected me from the full emotional impact of this horrific reality. It's as though God allows me to feel only as much of his traumatic death as I am able to bear. Imagining he was ushered into heaven by my parents and a host of ancestors has helped me cope.
Also, holding the feet of the judicial system to the fire provided a necessary distraction from facing my raw emotions. Of course, I still feel shock, guilt, pain, bargaining, blame, denial, anger, depression, distrust and emptiness. New events and my memories seem to trigger these intense feelings, which are normal and appropriate. The deep impact of my son's murder initiated a tsunami of ripple effects.
Connections with family and community can be comforting as well as painful. Some people in my life offer every ounce of support they can muster; others don't know what to do or say; others are bullies impatient with my process. My heartfelt appreciation goes to everyone and anyone who has been, who is and who will be present throughout this journey.
No comparisons can be drawn among the circumstances of these deaths in my life. But at least with my father and mother, I was able to be present with them before their passing. Not so with my son.
Each death evokes a spiritual connection that transcends this human experience, which is the source of my strength to endure this journey.
If you are grieving, the feelings you experience are normal and appropriate. I encourage you to learn from others experiencing something similar. I attend a free grief support group hosted by Legacy Hospice from 3 to 4:30 p.m. each Monday at the McMinnville Senior Center, 2250 N.E. McDaniel Lane.
If you know someone who is grieving, I encourage you to educate yourself. You can learn appropriate ways to support and nurture them through their mourning with gentle kindness and compassion. It's your chance to demonstrate how you want to be treated when it's your turn to grieve.
Guest writer Clair Sarsozo moved to McMinnville seeking a safe haven among her family after the murder of her son. She is a self-taught bookbinder and recently self-published her first children's book, inspired by her three grandchildren. She believes a positive attitude and enthusiastic outlook help with life's transitions.

At ITP, I got interested in investigating the relation between visual and sound, that could, as a whole, help people laugh and enjoy the moment. In the real world outside of ITP, though, I haven't really found anything idealistic as this environment to develop my interests into something I enjoy yet. I did a little bit of webdesign/flash works for a living, freelancing mainly. However, I am very excited to experiment with my time as an opportunity to see if I can make a living and do what I want to do at the same time, while getting to know what I like.

Although I personally like a very dark chocolate, the combination of orange oil and fruity chocolate gives a satisfying depth of flavour that I don't usually find in a 65% bar. Orange is a classic flavour for chocolate - but where XXXX Chocolate Orange is a slap round the chops with orange flavouring, sugar and not much cocoa, this bar has the genuine flavour of real oranges in a deeply flavoured chocolate. The packaging makes it a wonderful gift - great as a stocking filler, or to pop in the post with a card to a chocolate loving friend. This bar is just a single square - where the un flavoured Willies Cacao bars contain two (one for now - one for later). Probably just as well, as it's very easy to gobble up - and you need to leave room for the other flavours, right?

Members of the mobile workforce – and the companies that employ them – face a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's desirable for mobile workers to remain as productive as possible when they're on the road. However, not all venues that accommodate these workers are entirely conducive to productivity.
What's more, hackers routinely "sniff out" unsecured laptops, smartphones and other handheld devices in use at coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, and other locations, making special precautions imperative if data security is to be maintained in public places.
Below is a brief look at the best mobile workforce management tips, with some essentials suggestions on how to protect devices when using Wi-Fi hotspots.
Certain national restaurant chains and coffee shops now provide free Wi-Fi to patrons, as do local cafes and restaurants. Book stores like Barnes & Noble, along with office supply stores, have also jumped on the free Wi-Fi bandwagon. Even large public spaces and parks, including Millennium Park in Chicago, Ill. and Washington Square Park in New York City, N.Y., offer free Wi-Fi to individuals who need or want to get work done beyond the confines of their offices.
If possible, mobile workers should scout out establishments before setting up camp there. Some locations are noisy, making phone conversations difficult. Others want to rapidly "turn over" tables and efficiently handle busy meal crowds, spurring them to limit the duration of patrons' access to their Wi-Fi connections.
Hotels, too, represent a viable option for achieving mobile workforce productivity. Many properties tout a full complement of mobile amenities, ranging from ample workspace to high outlet availability and everything in between. Wi-Fi has become widely available in guest rooms, but in some hotels, particularly downtown locations, guests must pay to make a Wi-Fi connection. Hotels are also creating"worker-friendly" lobbies equipped with such perks as touchscreens that display weather forecasts, travel information and similar valuable data.
Need a more professional setting? Shared workplaces are becoming more popular in areas on the West Coast and will likely gain traction in the rest of the country soon.
These offices combine the concept of office-space rental and on-demand availability. Mobile workers can rent locations on an hourly or daily basis, rather than paying for weeks or months at a time.
One caveat to keep in mind: Establishing a temporary mobile office at any of the above-mentioned locations may bring with it the challenge of slow connection speeds, particularly when there are a lot of users on the network. Additionally, most of the above locations do not have onsite IT staff to fix technical issues. So, it's best to have a backup location (or two) planned when on the road.
Just as the mobile workforce is growing bigger every day, hackers are becoming smarter and more effective in their quest to infiltrate the masses. To minimize the potential for hacking as well as its consequences, take the following steps:
By selecting the right remote locations and security measures, mobile workers set themselves up for optimized productivity while connected to public Wi-Fi hotspots.

Valentine's Day will forever be associated with the classic gifts of cards, roses, and chocolates. And you can't go wrong with those mainstays. But this year try shaking up convention with some innovative and non-traditional gift-giving ideas for your special someone, even if that someone is yourself. We've gathered several tips on how to make Valentine's Day special for someone else, and for you.
Don't Overdo it
The perfect gift depends most importantly on the status of your particular romantic situation. Lisa Daily, the author of Stop Getting Dumped, says the key in the early day is balance. You want a gift that says, "I was thinking of you, but not obsessing over you." For a just budding relationship (think one to three dates), Daily recommends a gift you might bring a hostess at a party: wine or treats. Try something other than candy: cookies, a favorite snack food, or dinner at a new, unique restaurant.
The longer you've been together by the time Valentine's Day rolls around, the more intimate and expensive a gift can be. At one to two months, feel free to get:
It Really IS the Thought That Counts
If you're in a longer-term relationship, from 6 months to 6-plus years, you probably know enough about the other person to personalize your gift. And let's be honest, unless your paramour is a bona fide flower fiend or candy hound, flowers and candy ain't all that! So show how much you appreciate and care for your significant other. Save the sappy clichés for the card and make the gift really meaningful, says Robin Gorman Newman, author of "How to Marry a Mensch." Get something your sweetie always talks about, but would never buy for him or herself.
You can also personalize a gift literally by tailor-making it for your sweetie. Several Web sites let you design your own personalized items and they will make it for you. Put her pet name on a t-shirt, or an inside joke on a coffee mug. You can even put a custom message or picture on underwear! You'll both get a kick out of it, and it's something he or she can hold on to for a long time.
In addition to emphasizing your partner's interests, Gorman Newman also thinks the effort and time you put into a gift makes it special. You can:
These gifts have the added benefit of being inexpensive. Catering to your love's special interests or giving something that promotes you being together will mean much more than three dozen red roses or expensive jewelry. Though that's no knock against a diamond necklace, which can indeed be the way to her heart (hint, hint!).
Make It Sensual
Valentine's Day isn't only for thoughtful and romantic gifts. A sensual gift can be just as memorable, says dating expert and author April Masini.
Going Solo
But what if you're single? Don't wallow in loneliness. Turn your jaded view of Black Hearts' Day into a special pampering occasion. Everyone knows that Valentine's Day was invented by card companies to sell more cards. Take the opportunity to add to the economic boost, in your own fashion.
Show how much you love yourself on this special day and be your own Valentine!

Star Trek - Into Darkness
Doing the near impossible by eclipsing the warp speed of 2009's Star Trek, J.J. Abrams' sequel is wall-to-wall action empowered by the strong characters set up in the original. Star Trek Into Darkness, from geek-friendly writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof, hones in on the destructive heroism of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), the Captain's friendship with all-too-logical Spock (Zachary Quinto), and a worthy adversary for the crew: the superhuman terrorist John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). The approach leaves the ensemble, elegantly woven into the adventure of the first movie, on the sidelines. Instead of reminding us why we love the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Into Darkness floods the screen with spectacle and relies on memories of the past to fill in the blanks. What's the Klingon word for ''overload?''
From the first notes of Michael Giacchino's rousing score, we're thrust into the middle of the action. A chase scene on a lush planet jumps to an escape from volcanic eruption jumps to Kirk and Spock back on Earth defending themselves against Federation punishment (a dialogue scene that taps snappy dialogue and big emotion to keep the momentum going). Kirk is under fire for going against the ''Prime Directive,'' stating that the Starfleet won't interfere with the internal development of alien civilizations. Standing down isn't his style - and it costs him Spock as his right hand man, the Enterprise, and a career. He's pulled back in by Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller), who needs Kirk's renegade style to catch Harrison. A format Starfleet officer, Cumberbatch's Harrison is more than meets the eye, but violent attacks against the Federation are enough to light a fire under Kirk's ass. The rage-filled Captain recruits his former crew to boldly go after Harrison.
Into Darkness lacks the camaraderie that made Star Trek pop - and even Cumberbatch's scenery chewing instincts are stymied by surface-level drama - Abrams never blinks an eye when it comes to the direction. He finds tension with the grand CG set pieces (a spaceship chase through the canyons of an alien planet is basically a proof of concept for Star Wars 7) and finds all the right angles for a intensely close-up space jump scene through a field of debris. The movie acknowledges that this is repeat business, essentially the same scene from movie one, but it's expertly crafted and a thrill thanks to Abrams' knowhow.
With all the innovation on display, Star Trek Into Darkness can't escape the shadow of its dramatic cues. It's completely indebted to Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan - a foundation that must be bewildering to the non-fan. The movie also functions as a 9/11 allegory. Or, more specifically, the conspiracies surrounding 9/11. With a large portion of action taking place on Earth, trauma strikes among skyscrapers and screaming pedestrians in an on-the-nose fashion. It wrenches the gut, but it's easy. True drama between Kirk and Spock exists thanks to Pine and Quinto's vivid portrayals, but it's all for naught when the inciting incidents are nostalgic riffs rather than freshly born situations.
Star Trek had its fair share of plot holes, but they were swept up in the fun factor of watching a motley crew of young actors figure out teamwork. Into Darkness is missing the team, and missing the fun. Abrams takes a dark turn with his follow-up and promises an epically-scaled sparring match between Kirk and Cumberbatch. The movie winds up moving so quickly, glossing over so much to get to that final clash, that Star Trek Into Darkness fizzles out by its finish.

I applaud the Butler Redevelopment Authority and city leaders — and, if they've had any involvement, the county commissioners — who are making the Centre City project a reality.
This is exactly what Butler has been missing.
Might I suggest that, once the project is completed, Chelynne Curci, Butler's Main Street manager, lead a walking tour of our fair city.
Special attention should be given to the diversity of stores along Main Street, the new county prison that has been housing state prisoners, and our methadone clinic.
Move on to the city's swimming pool, which has been closed for a number of years because the city can't afford the needed repairs.
There could be a meet-and-greet with the new police K-9 officers that the city couldn't afford before businessman Denny Offstein offered a $10,000 interest-free loan and public donations poured in.
Curci could point out the fancy new bicycle route signs that were erected so the Tour de France does not end up on the part of Alameda Park Road that was shut down because the county couldn't afford to repair it.
The Centre City project is a lot like putting pearls on a pig. After showing our guests the closed anchor stores at Pullman Square and at the Point Plaza in Butler Township, the tour could end with a pep rally at the site where Pullman Standard used to be.

McMinnville man dies of assault injuries
Police attempting to identify responsible parties
UPDATE / Wednesday, 5:26 p.m.:
Andrew Elpidio Agcaoili, 31, of McMinnville died Tuesday at Oregon Health & Science in Portland of injuries sustained during an early Sunday morning assault, according to Sgt. Tim Symons of the McMinnville police.
Five detectives have been assigned to the case, he said. Individuals have been interviewed, but no suspects have positively been identified, according to Symons.
See Friday's print edition for additional details.
— — —
McMinnville police have identified the victim of an assault that occurred downtown early Sunday morning as Andrew Elpidio Agcaoili, 31, of 1795 N.W. Second St., McMinnville.
He was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Willamette Valley Medical Center and later transferred to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He sustained a traumatic brain injury and was listed in critical condition, according to Sgt. Tim Symons of the McMinnville police.
Symons gave this account:
Officers responded to a reported disturbance about 3 a.m. in the area of Northeast Davis and Third streets. The Yamhill Communications Agency dispatch center was told the victim was bleeding from the back of his head and unconsious. Dispatch was also told that some individuals involved in the incident had left the area.
Agcaoili was found lying on the sidewalk in the area of the northwest corner of Davis and Third, near the Ben Franklin statue located in the U.S. Bank plaza. Medical personnel administered aid before transporting him to the McMinnville hospital.
According to witnesses, Agcaoili and Adrian Ulloa, 31, of 2242 S.W. Taylor Drive, McMinnville, were together and involved in a disturbance with a group of four to six individuals. Witnesses were unable to provide a clothing description of those who left the scene, but said they were males in their late 20s to early 30s.
Ulloa sustained minor injuries and was transported from the scene by friends, according to Symons.
"We have identified players in the other group, but we're still sorting through things in an attempt to get the right person (beating suspect)," he said.
He said detectives are investigating the possibility that Agcaoili and Ulloa were involved in a confrontation at a bar prior to when the assault took place. Symons said the group of four to six individuals are all from Yamhill County, but not necessarily McMinnville.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Detective Michelle Formway at 503-434-2340 or call the YCOM non-emergency number at 503-434-6500.

Newton Kansan
When Lena Marie Haun passed away, her niece, Marlys Arnold, was given a big job.
As executor of the estate, Arnold was charged with giving away $648,063.32.
"I'm sure you had a preconceived notion of who gave this gift," Arnold said during her address at the 15th Annual Leave a Legacy Luncheon Friday at the Meridian Center. "Probably someone up in the Wichita social club. … But they drove older cars, and did not go on lavish vacations."
Haun was a saver, and a giver. She also had a passion for children.
"She wasn't the aunt or grandmother who gave strange gifts," Arnold said. "She always put a lot of thought into gifts — and it was always obvious there was a lot of thought."
Haun's final gift was also thought out — which is what Arnold was speaking about at the Leave a Legacy Luncheon.
A gift to the Central Kansas Community Foundation helped start the "KidsFUNd."
Haun, a former school teacher and secretary to a dean at Wichita State University, established a foundation dedicated to helping children.
This past year the foundation gave $42,000 in grants to area non-profits to help children.
"Thousands of children will be helped as the foundation goes on and on," Arnold said. "She left an extra special legacy."

Ordered a chocolate medal for my Dad for Father's Day as a small chocolate treat. Delivery was remarkably quick and it was extremely well packaged with lots of bio-degradable packaging. It actually smells like real chocolate rather than that 'candy chocolate' you see on the high street. Both picture and item description on website very accurate. Well done Chocolate Trading Co.
