Guest Post By Joe Fleming of ViveHealth
Anxious about considering a mobility aid to help you get around? The thought of your disease or condition getting to a point which requires mobility help can be heartbreaking. And, especially if you are younger, the embarrassment or ridicule you anticipate for having to use a mobility aid might be hard to swallow.
Mobility aids can be empowering, assistive devices that not only help you get around easier, but fuel your own self-drive and independence. While you may be hesitant to try an assistive device to stay mobile, the benefits of using one include reduced stress in executing everyday tasks, decreased risk for falls and injuries, and increased energy and endurance.
Mobility aids typically include:
- Crutches
- Canes
- Walkers
- Wheelchairs
- Motorized Scooters
- Chair and/or Bath Lifts
Depending on the difficulties and issues you experience with walking, standing, and balancing, the type of mobility aid that best suits you may vary.
You made need a mobility aid if:
- You have difficulty walking – If traversing flat surfaces is difficult and induces unwanted pressure on your back and legs, a mobility aid like a walker or cane can provide the support you need.
- Your balance and coordination are off – Trouble balancing may be a symptom of your disease or associated with "dizziness" that may be a side effect of medication. Loss of balance and coordination can require mobility aids, from canes to wheelchairs, that support you and prevent falls.
- You've experienced multiple falls – If the number of falls you experience has increased of late, or if they happen in one particular place (like the bath), it might not be clutter or slippery surfaces to blame. Lack of stability and strength in your legs, knees, and feet could require a mobility aid to help you stay upright when mobile, and get in and out of specific areas with ease (i.e. a bath chair could lift you in and out of a tub).
- You're in recovery – Recovering from an injury or illness-related surgery? A mobility aid might be a necessity to assist in the healing process and can help you feel able-bodied and independent as you recover.
- You're regularly fatigued – Outside of 'resting fatigue' you may experience with a disease or illness, lackluster endurance and a constant feeling of being tired after you have walked somewhere is a good indicator you could use a mobility aid.
- You have difficulty standing – If standing is painful, causes built-up pressure on your spine or legs, or is difficult to do for more than 10 minutes at a time, a mobility aid can assist you and prevent unnecessary discomfort.
- You have trouble traveling stairs – Going up and down stairs can be the most difficult task for someone experiencing mobility problems. If you notice extra difficulty and discomfort with traversing stairs, a mobility aid can go beyond what a railing may do in helping support your stability and movement.
- You've stopped bearing weight – If weakness or increased muscle stiffness and spasticity are preventing you from bearing weight on your feet, this is another good indicator a mobility aid might be of use to you.
Conserve energy and boost activity levels with a mobility aid that assists you in everyday errands, working, traveling, and trying new hobbies as you get older.
Even if getting up to walk across the room is a breeze, if a trip to the grocery store completely wears you out, simple assistance from a mobility aid might be just what you need to take control and get more done.

A woman's place
Jess McCabe // 1 December 2009
A Woman's Place is a short documentary about the UK women's liberation movement in the early 1970s. According to Journeyman Pictures:
It's the 28th of February 1970 and women's groups from around the country have assembled at Ruskin College, Oxford, for the first ever National Women's Liberation Conference. A powerful, exuberant insight into the beginning of the Women's Liberation Movement.
Here at the Oxford University Union, women speak openly about their differing lives and aspirations. Some speak of increasing a father's role in childcare and of improving child's rights- ''in women's liberation we are calling for the liberation of our children' says one woman. Whilst others want to be acknowledged as women despite not wanting children- 'must we regard women like myself, who have no desire to have a child, as freaks?' The atmosphere is one of excitement and solidarity: a cacophony of slogan-painting and passionate debates. At the end of it all, the movement has four basic demands: Equal pay, equal education and job opportunities, free contraception and abortion on demand and free 24hr nurseries.
'Keep Young and beautiful! It's your duty to be beautiful' is the ironic cry of the 4000 strong crowd of women singing and dancing their way through Oxford street, London in 1971. It's the First International Women's Day march and the movement's four demands, emblazoned on banners, will soon be handed to the prime minister in a written petition. 'I'm amazed by the amount of people here' says one elderly man 'I think it's great'. Whilst some women of a different generation view the march as an embarrassment – 'do I think women are equal? Yes and no' says one. The march gains widespread newspaper and television coverage, giving profile to the movement and a voice for its demands. It sparked off a series of laws giving equality to women and was seen by many as a landmark event. 'I think it's the beginning of the process of liberating everyone' said one man at the time 'the conflict isn't really between men and women, men are pretty repressed too'. A powerful, exuberant insight into the beginning of the Women's Liberation Movement, featuring notable feminists Audrey Battersby, Midge Mackenzie, Judith Brandt, Liz Danciger, Sally Fraser, Lyn Gambles, Esther Ronay, Kay Osborn, Michelene Victor and Sheila Allen.
Embedding has been turned off, but you can watch the 26 minute documentary on YouTube. There is a descriptive transcript on Journeyman Pictures' website.
Ruskin College Oxford is currently organising a 40th Anniversary commemorative conference for 12-13 March 2010 with keynote speakers including Shelia Rowbotham, Gail Lewis, Bea Campbell, our own Catherine Redfern & Kristin Aune.There will be panel sessions, creative workshops and conference papers on a wide variety of topics. We'll post more info later when it becomes available, but to receive the call for papers please email Dr Louise Livesey (email@example.com).

Comments From You
Victoria // Posted 1 December 2009 at 1:19 pm
Reading this, I thought "how inspiring". Then I got to the bit about the four basic demands and felt utterly miserable that four decades on, we're still not there. The comments on YouTube are really quite frightening, too (not the usual CiF "you have equality now so shut up" rubbish, but basic "arguments" against equality itself). At least it's a reminder that now certainly isn't the time to forget supposedly "past" battles.
Ruth Moss // Posted 1 December 2009 at 3:21 pm
I watched this astonished – talking about the liberation of children? Talking about how feminism should also support mothers who wish to look after their children full time and not do paid work (but also not have to be economically reliant on a man)? Talking about the need for children to have a small number of constant, loving caregivers (basically, discussing attachment parenting) and how to reconcile this with feminism?
What happened, feminists?
earwicga // Posted 1 December 2009 at 4:24 pm
"What happened, feminists? "
In a word – neoliberalism happened. We are all economic units. Parenting has no economic output (in neoliberal terms) therefore is useless.
Victoria // Posted 1 December 2009 at 4:26 pm
Ruth, I agree that all the issues you highlight are important and still need to be talked about today. But I'm concerned your question "What happened, feminists?" seems to fall back on a caricature of modern feminists as women who devalue mothers or don't wish to address their concerns. Perhaps I'm misreading the tone, but it seems to blame feminists for misunderstanding the nature of gender inequalities. As a feminist mother myself, I think this is deeply unfair, and I think we're shooting ourselves in the foot if we focus on feminism itself as an adversary. The problem is negotiating a space between those who "value" mothers as long as they embrace economic dependancy and keep their mouths shut, and those who think women "have" equality and choice and blame any disadvantages on woman's "choice" to opt out. The route towards redistributing "women's work" and achieving economic liberation has indeed been horribly shoehorned to fit in with rampant capitalism, and it's not been ideal for anyone. But I really don't think most feminists are blind to, or indeed complicit in, this.
Ruth Moss // Posted 1 December 2009 at 5:35 pm
Sorry Victoria, maybe I'm just more of a cynic than you. But I don't think it's a "caricature" when there is a huge problem with child-hate and mother blaming within so much of mainstream feminism. So much so that I stopped calling myself a "feminist mum" some time ago.
Jess McCabe // Posted 1 December 2009 at 5:39 pm
@Ruth Moss I'm not sure it's something I've noticed, I've got to say… but it's likely I'm just not sensitised to it or noticing it because I'm not a mum.
Ruth Moss // Posted 1 December 2009 at 5:51 pm
Just three blog posts off the very top of my head concerning three well-known feminist writers and their child-free cluelessness. There are many, many more examples, all over the blogosphere.
earwicga // Posted 1 December 2009 at 5:52 pm
"there is a huge problem with child-hate and mother blaming within so much of mainstream feminism"
I have to say, as a mother, I have noticed it. And that's before putting the prefix single before mother.
How many articles have you seen on feminist websites and blogs regarding the Welfare Reform Bill?
Kez // Posted 1 December 2009 at 6:12 pm
Yes, I've noticed it too. Hard not to, sometimes.
earwicga // Posted 1 December 2009 at 6:14 pm
To be honest, I do tend to think that if I see that if I am being ignored by feminism it is up to me to do something about it. Now, when shall I schedule that into my week…
Sue Gilbert // Posted 1 December 2009 at 6:32 pm
I'm a feminist mum and have never denied the status. I remember one 'woman's right to choose' demo in the late 1970's when there were hundreds of us marching up Oxford Street, with our babies on our backs, our toddlers in buggies and our older children skipping alongside with balloons, quite a carnival atmosphere. Then we reached the large branch of Mothercare, which was barricaded by huge numbers of police. They thought we would attack Mothercare because, obviously, we all hated children.
It was funny at the time because it was obviously so clueless, but I do wonder if that attitude has really changed over the last thirty years.
BTW, I'm now also a feminist grandmother… is that a different debate?
Clare // Posted 1 December 2009 at 7:07 pm
I think this is scary because we're having exactly the same debates today.
It shows the problem then that still exists today with women gaining 'equality' – the same responses to it then.
We're also making the same apologies in the movement, 'we want to get away from the image of bra burners.'
More than anything it pushes the idea how needed feminism is always going to be, and how a future movement has to be bigger and more forceful.
lost causes // Posted 2 December 2009 at 12:49 pm
Funnily enough having seen this documentary via a link on womensgrid and then saw at the 20th Anniversary Meeting of Women Against Fundamentalism a documentary about their (extremely brave) intervention during the Salman Rushdie affair in which women talked about being objectified, fundamentalism, etc., etc., it is extremely depressing to think we are still addressing the same issues.
I think there are a number of factors that have contributed to this which don't necessarily fit into anyone neat political analysis but they include:
* women losing the ability to organise and co-operate in an autonomous movement (or did we stop being brave?)
* co-option through funding of what were initially campaigns into some women's groups becoming service providers and so appendages of the state
* the media agenda which then as now was dominated by men and so just assumed that if women wanted liberation it was to be like men (crudely equality feminism) as opposed to some of the concepts of women's liberation which was about dismantling many of the structure that push both men and women into stereotypical roles
* the rise of unfettered capitalism under Thatcher (willingly continued by Blair) that assumed personal "choice" based on personal income would be liberating which under reagonomics meant everyone in hock up to the hilt and the mad persuit of home ownership (the consequences of which we are now living with) whereas the women's liberation model would have been everyone (male and female) being able to work part time and still earn enough to live a decent life including bringing up children and time to be engaged in social activity (enabled by access to affordable rented housing for instance)
* added to which is the fact that as with every generation many daughters of the WLM activist generation rebelled against their mothers and the momentum of the changes in social consciousness of the 70s were lost (echo by subservient women in the media)
* this division has been further entrenched as networking through e-groups and blogging doesn't actual produce, particularly at a local level, agitation from women about politcal decisions and how they impact on their lives
* but probably the most signifigant is that men didn't really change!!
lost causes // Posted 3 December 2009 at 2:17 pm
Is there a reason why my comment wasn't posted?
I was really looking forward to a debate about feminism having wasted my time on the Guardian's CiF blog, but then when I did submit something it hasn't appeared.
Does the F Word have a policy of only publishing the comments they like or what?
Very disillusioned
Jess McCabe // Posted 3 December 2009 at 2:41 pm
@lost causes please see the message which pops up when you leave a comment, stating there may be a delay before comments are published.
Lost Causes // Posted 4 December 2009 at 1:56 pm
Sorry Jess if I appeared impatient.
I actually couldn't remeber when I posted it and on reflection it probably was sometime after the original article and comments.
Sue Gilbert // Posted 4 December 2009 at 2:27 pm
Claire I agree that a future movement has to be bigger, much bigger, after all half the population are female. Even if not all care to be activists, huge mumbers can do something. I'm not certain about that actual word forceful. Persistance might be more use. We can't blame ourselves for the horror that was Thatcherism just because she's said to be a woman – she was forceful and it seems to me that we feminists went a bit quiet from the late eighties onward, possibly from embarassment. Then in the 90's media obsession with mocking political correctness turned feminism literally into the F word. Now there are more women in higher education than ever before, yet Woman's Place is STILL below the glass ceiling, STILL tied to home-making, STILL struggling with under-paid employment. It isn't progress and we all need the courage to persist!
Cara // Posted 5 December 2009 at 3:45 pm
Don't worry Lost Causes, Jess has a habit of snapping at people in this situation.
Which is why I don't post here any more.
Yours was not an unreasonable question.
Yet Jess, a supposed feminist, expects women to wait nicely like good girls and not ask where their comment is, even days later.
Jess McCabe // Posted 5 December 2009 at 4:28 pm
It's stated very clearly when you submit a comment that it may take a while before it is moderated. I'm not snapping at anyone, however the fact that comments must be approved before posting and we all have lives and commitments outside of the f word means this is inevitable.
Barbara Bloomfield // Posted 6 March 2010 at 1:48 pm
This is a wonderful film which captures the zeitgeist of inner discontent among women at the turn of the 70s; but before feminism helped to create a language to explain how we were feeling. So pleased the filmmaker and film will be at Ruskin next weekend.
Barbara Bloomfield
ex-Ruskin student and writer/counsellor
peace out // Posted 18 March 2010 at 3:38 am
I don't think it's deliberate. I think the increased choices women have before them mean that more of them sort of inhabit these practically childless social circles than did in the 70s.
Kids are more an abstract idea to them than a daily lived reality.
Flip side of THAT is, women who are in the trenches don't have the time or energy or connections or education to write the kinds of polemic that would merit any notice! I imagine women in the 70s believed that feminist leadership would be able to be that voice…
Unfortunately, then they just repeatedly stick their feet in their mouths. So I understand why so many women of my acquaintance don't have a lot of truck with "feminism." Sure, some of it is just misunderstanding, but not all of it is on the part of the women rejecting the label!

I am working with a 4227, and LabVIEW performing Rapid Block Acquisition. I need to acquire a predefined number of captures, let's say 100, and average the resulting 100 segments. However, sometimes the incoming signal may change so that a trigger is not detected leading the digitizer to perform an autotrigger on a few of the 100 captures after the preset Autotrigger(ms) time expires (set in the ps4000SetSimpleTrigger with autoTrigger_ms).
On my resuting data though, I now have 100 traces, some withe valid data, and a few resulting from the auto trigger. How can I find out which ones were the result of autotriggering so I can eliminate them?

Election season in the Philippines has just begun, and nearly one hundred candidates have registered to run in next year's presidential derby. Eliminate the no-hopers and cranks one candidate does rooster impressions and it is shaping up to be a four-cornered race, with a clutch of serious contenders as outside bets.
As things stand, opinion surveys (a far from infallible guide) put senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III in the lead. A low-profile figure during nine years in Congress, the bookish-looking lawmaker was pushed to the limelight just a few months ago after the death of his admired mother Corazon, a former president and symbol of democacy during the anti-Marcos struggle. Some pundits predicted his star would quickly fade, but that hasn't happened. Manuel Villar, a rags-to-riches real estate developer born in Manila's Tondo port area, is placing second. Behind him is ousted former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada. He was convicted on corruption charges in 2007, sentenced to life imprisonment and then pardoned by current President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The 72-year-old actor who is back on the big screen now in a comedy playing a bus driver still counts the masses as his support base. But it is unlikely that they will vote for him in quite the same numbers as in his win in 1988, and the constitutionality of a former president running again will likely be challenged in the courts.
"It's too simplistic to view Aquino as the clear leader right now; the surveys are far from conclusive and a trend will probably only emerge in January or February," says political science professor Edmund Tayao.
Elections here are high-spending, festive occasions that are good for the economy. But cheating and violence are also par for the course. Commission on Elections director James Jimenez says the debut of electronic voting in 2010 should eliminate two major sources of election crime: trying to fix the outcome by threats of violence again election officials during the vote-counting period, and the practice of dagdag bawas, or padding and shaving votes. "Both should be rendered extinct by an automated vote count in which there will be no opportunity to change the outcome," says Jimenez.
A cynical electorate hopes so. The outrage still brewing over the Nov. 23 election-related massacre on Mindanao echoes the public sentiment felt in during 2007 mid-term polls when three poll watchers were burned alive after armed men torched a school building holding ballot boxes during the manual vote-count.
An elite of moneyed families still dominates the candidates running for Congress and higher local government posts, such as mayors and provincial governors. A parade of celebrities including boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, running for a congressional seat are adding the customary glamor. Aquino's sister Kris, a popular television personality, is reported to be energetically rallying her friends in entertainment to publicly support her brother. (Despite his perceived lead, he is not to everyone's taste: one local journalist memorably described him as a "crudely-cut outline of his parents.")
In a highly unusual step, President Arroyo a hard-working but unloved leader is running for a congressional seat in her family's home province of Pampanga, which is being specially vacated by her son. Some suspect a dark plot to keep Arroyo in power under a new political system being pushed by her allies. For her part, Arroyo insists public service is "emblazoned in my DNA." The odds are she will win the seat.
Nevertheless, Arroyo's deep unpopularity is seen hurting the chances of her ruling party's presidential bet Gilberto Teodoro, an urbane 43-year-old US-trained lawyer and, according to analysts, a competent former defense secretary. Teodoro's dismal placing in the polls he trails the top three candidates may change as he gets more into the public eye. "He offers firm leadership and understands the security situation," says political commentator Alex Magno, who expects security matters will be a prominent election issue. In the intertwined world of this country's dynastic politics, Teodoro and Aquino are related as cousins from different branches of one of the country's wealthiest landowning families. And on paper at least, there could be five Arroyos in the next Congress; there are four in the current one. Even Imelda Marcos, the flamboyant 80-year-old widow of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, is running for a seat - a further example of the merry-go-round of Philippine politics.
What will their various platforms be? An easier to question, perhaps, is what they should be. Peter Wallace, an Australian business consultant who has lived here for 30 years, says tackling corruption is the "number one" election issue for foreign investors. Over the past years, the Philippines has generally slipped in the rankings of global corruption surveys. And Aquino's bid for the presidency taps a yearning for the honesty in government demonstrated during his mother's terms. To be sure, the economy peaked under Arroyo's leadership, expanding 7.2 per cent in 2007 before being punctured by the global recession. But allegations of vote-rigging in 2004's polls and corruption controversies over government contracts have overshadowed that achievement.
"Filipinos crave a leader whose integrity they can tust," veteran political columnist Amando Doronila wrote in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. "That is the central issue of this election." Says Tayao: "Voters are looking for accountability in the next administration."

Post-Holiday knitting and notes on my own design process
I had decided on a wimple for my mother for Christmas back in early November, and had cast on in a basic Shetland horseshoe pattern. Yarn was doubled lace-weight natural-colored cashmere on size 4 needles – I wanted something light-weight and very warm that she could wear with anything. My mother exercises in all kinds of weather, and even in East Tennessee it can get cold. So I did three repeats of the horseshoe pattern; then did simple double yarn-overs placed at the point of the horseshoe until I hit 18 inches, when I did five more repeats of the horseshoe pattern and bound off after 3 rounds of garter stitch. Pretty, warm, and won't crush my mother's hairdo. I washed, blocked and wrapped it for the holiday one Sunday afternoon before Thanksgiving.
Enter my current student intern. She saw the wimple I'd done for my mother just before it was finished, and fell in love with it. So I thought I'd make one for her in blue kid mohair to match her pretty blue eyes, and went yarn shopping at my local LYS. I splurged – there's no other word for it – on two skeins of blue and two of bright pink Kid-Silk haze. Came home and decided to cast on for the intern's version in another lace pattern I love – feather and fan – and got a couple of inches completed that very day.
Within the next day or two, the winter Knitty was brought to my attention. I enjoy this on-line 'zine for knitters, and have used several designs from its talented crew as a starting point for my own creations over the past couple of years. But I hadn't knit something entirely from the magazine as yet. As you may have gathered, I'm just not a pattern knitter! Ice Queen changed that temporarily.
I had already completed quite a bit of the intern's version, and went on with my original plan. She loved my own feather and fan version, by the way, and couldn't believe I had made her something for the holiday. I do enjoy knitting for those who appreciate it! But I still wanted to do the Ice Queen in the pattern as shown – the decreases intrigued me, and I thought they'd solve the one problem I'd run into – the face is a bit wide. I thought I'd prefer something more snuggled up to keep the breezes out.
I had already decided that I'd like another wimple for myself. My winter leather coat is warm enough, except for the leather right around the neck that leads into the collar. That gets cold! I usually use a scarf to cover my neck in that area, and wear a hat. But I don't really like stocking caps – they flatten my hair in an odd fashion, and I'm now working in an office where day-long hat hair is a bit too informal! So I used the pink mohair-silk and cast on as directed in the Ice Queen pattern. Knitting went very quickly (especially without beads!), and I had my own Ice Queen finished in time to wear on Christmas Eve. Talk about garnering compliments – everybody loved it!
We were heading for the Midwest to see two of the children just after the New Year, and I needed a car project for the half-time my DH was driving. My daughter has beautiful blue eyes as well, and loves pretty, feminine things. I had one skein of the blue Kid Silk Haze left – and two ounces of beautiful Czech beads in the right size to make pinpoints of starlight when the light catches the knitted fabric! So I cast on (can you believe it of me!) another Ice Queen – this time in a beaded version! I finished it up during our visit, and she does indeed love it.
But before we ever left home, I was tinkering with another possibility. I wanted the same general shape, wider at the shoulders to as to anchor firmly under a coat, but tighter around the face to keep the ears warm. I liked the picot edging in both the beaded and unbeaded versions of Ice Queen – it was simple to work and an effective, pretty edging. But I was finally (and almost-certainly temporarily) tired of feather and fan. I wanted to try another stitch!
I had bought a ball of Mongolian lace-weight that had 400 yards of pure softness in a lovely light gray that would work much better than the fuchsia pink with my red wool coat! I had spent one evening at my daughter's dining room table sketching lace patterns out on graph paper, figuring out ways to get the decreases I wanted, and finally settled on a Shetland leaf-lace pattern. I took the cashmere along on the trip, knowing I'd also need a project for the car on the way home, and cast on as we headed east. So my Leaf Lace Wimple pattern is below:
Leaf Lace Wimple Pattern
Yarn: Lace-weight cashmere, 55 gms = 400 yds
Suggested needle sizes: US 3 for main body, US 1 for face edge, circular, 24-inch
Gauge: 4.5 – 5.0 stitches per inch
Cast on 11 repeats of 14 stitches – 154 stitches; join into round and knit one round.
Follow pattern as written, knitting even rows, and repeating rows 49 through 60 (green shaded rows) until length from cast-on is approximately 20 inches (about 100 rows), ending on row 52 or 60 of pattern as shown. (Click for a larger version of the chart.)
After the final repeat of either row 52 or row 60, K3P2 around for two rows.
On the third row, K3, twist 2 purl stitches around.
Bind off with either a picot bind-off pattern (like the one from Knitty's Ice Queen pattern) or another decorative BO. Go back and crochet an edging on the shoulder end, or pick up stitches and repeat the picot bind-off.
Wash and block and enjoy! And here's a photo of my own version - apologies for the shortcomings of the model are hereby tendered!

Very pretty! Thanks for the pattern.
Please don't quit your blog! I've learned SO MUCH from your entries and as someone who's only been spinning a year and is self-taught, your blog has been an incredible resource for me. I've pointed other new spinners to it s well. Plus, you're entertaining!
- Monika said...
Lovely! I found your blog some time ago, when I started spinning (May 2007). I've learned so much from your experiences, and hope to learn even more over time. Thanks!
I have been searching for a fan and feather wimple !!! It is especially nice because it ( the Ice Queen pattern) only uses a ball of yarn. I am making many for Christmas presents. They are better than a hat, and don't get in the way like a scarf. I can't thank you enough for both your pattern and the site for the "Ice Queen".
- gayle said...
I made a bead-less Ice Queen, as well, and really love it. Now I'm anxious to make your leafy wimple. Though I may have to grow another head to take full advantage of all the pretty...

San Diego Bayfront Phase I - Current Project, Exemplar Approved
San Diego Bayfront Phase I - Current Project, Exemplar Approved
Project Overview
- Construction and sales of approximately 159 residential condominium units in three buildings, with luxury amenities and waterfront views
- Infrastructure improvements of four streets surrounding the building site
- Located just off the San Diego Bay in Chula Vista, California, 15 minutes south of Downtown San Diego
Project Details
The Company aims to provide $50 million of EB-5 capital in the form of a loan for the development of the Project, street improvements, and a branded luxury condominium development comprising approximately 159 residential units, one retail unit, and 385,000 square feet of building area. The total development budget is $183 million, and the estimated net revenue is $204.4 million. The Project is part of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan (CVB), a joint master planning process of the Port of San Diego, the City of Chula Vista, and Pacifica Companies. The CVB is one of the last large developable waterfront spaces on the West Coast. Market analysis of the Project shows evidence of pent-up demand and supply constraints, upward-trending prices, and growth in the population of high-net-worth individuals able to purchase luxury homes. The Project would be the first branded residence in San Diego County.
Construction is scheduled to begin in Q4 2015 and be completed in Q1 2019, a period of just over three years. Condo sales will begin in 2016 and will be finalized following Certificate of Occupancy in 2019.

I understand one of the causes that make ghusl a must are:
1. The emission of semen, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "What requires water (ghusl) is if you see water (i.e., semen) coming out of you." (Reported by Muslim, no. 1/269) .
My question is: like my case sometimes I see semen emitting with my urine and I confirmed that it is a semen as recently I have done a medical check and found trace of semen in my urine. Is it compulsory for me to perform ghusl when I see semen emit with my urine?
I am really appericiate this website because a lot of the questions
and answers make me more convinced to practice Islam in my life.
Thank you very much
Praise be to Allaah.
The emission of semen due to enjoyment or a "wet dream" requires ghusl, but if semen is emitted in the urine or because of sickness, with no pleasure involved, this does not require ghusl. All you have to do is clean yourself properly after passing urine or stools, and perform wudoo' before praying. This is sufficient,

But many of those surveys have missed key aspects of the relationship between parents, schools and students. To make sure parental involvement has an impact on education, we've teamed up with Dr. Hunter Gehlbach of Harvard Graduate School of Education to help K-12 schools ask the right questions. The result is an expert survey template that makes it easier to get reliable results and improve outcomes.
Use the K-12 Parent Survey Template →
Create surveys, send them out, and get powerful tools for analysing survey responses. From parental involvement to fundraising to course evaluations, we make it easy. Get started for free.
Parental involvement in schools helps students earn higher grades, boost test scores, improve social skills and graduate, according to the 2002 paper entitled
"A New Wave of Evidence, The Impact of School, Family, and Community Connections on Student Achievement"
, written by Harvard Graduate School of Education Lecturer, Dr. Karen Mapp.
Findings from Dr. Mapp's work and follow-up studies from the Harvard Family Research Project have been incorporated into a growing number of educational reform initiatives and funding opportunities, including the US Department of Education Race to the Top Fund.
Now, more than ever, headteachers, schools administrators and school boards need to understand their schools' effectiveness in building parental capacity. But how should educators begin this daunting process?
Our partner, Dr. Gehlbach, and his team used a rigorous process to create survey questions to assess key areas of family/school relationships. Drawing from academic literature, parent interviews, focus groups, expert panels, and survey design best practices, the team developed questions that addressed the following key areas:
How much help are students getting at home?
Which habits have students developed that shape their success?
How engaged are parents in their child's schooling and which potential barriers exist?
How confident are parents in supporting their child's schooling?
How do parents view their school regarding academic and social standards?
How well do a school's academic programme, social climate and organisational structure match a student's needs?
How do parents view their roles as well as teachers' roles in different aspects of their child's schooling?
The typical survey design process relies on extensive research and expert analysis to come up with questions. But the survey designer must take care not to neglect respondents' interpretations of questions.
Dr. Gehlbach used interviews, focus groups and pre-testing techniques with potential respondents to focus on how parents of K-12 children understood what they were being asked. This helped the survey designers understand how ambiguity in language might impact respondents' interpretations across key areas. For instance, do parents consider "academic achievement" to mean solely test scores and grades, or do they feel that it covers reading proficiency and critical thinking skills? Is "improved school performance" viewed through the lens of traditional outcomes across subjects, or does it include social and psychological aspects of well-being? Nuances such as these were critical in creating questions that could effectively help schools assess parental involvement.
Learn more about the question creation process by reading Dr. Gehlbach's article here.
Headteachers, local education authority staff, school boards or parent/teacher organisations from any K-12 school – state, private, independent, academy, urban or rural – should use this survey to understand how they're doing with parents.
It can also be helpful to get context from your survey results by comparing them with results from other schools or organisations. Finding a benchmark to compare your parent engagement data can help you make actionable goals and better understand your strengths when it comes to school-parent interaction.
In the survey template embedded below, there are several groups of questions such as Parent Engagement, School Climate, etc. When creating your survey, choose groups of questions that make sense for your school. But we urge you to include every question in the groups that make sense. This will minimise errors in your response data and help you gather the best results.
In addition to the template's questions, add any other questions that might help you gain insights from your parents that are unique to your school. Our Question Bank's Education category has many pre-written questions to choose from. And if you'd like to write your own, refer to Dr. Phil Garland's tips for writing great survey questions.
To use the template, sign up for a SurveyMonkey account, click on "Create Survey", then select "Use an expert survey template" and choose "K-12 Parent Survey".

It was 1912, and C.C. Filson was operating a Seattle, Washington store—Filson's Pioneer Alaska and Blanket Manufacturers—opened in 1897 in order to supply hoards of prospectors headed to the Yukon Gold Rush.As the Gold Rush died down, Filson found that there were many more customers in need of rugged outdoor clothing and gear. So he designed a shirt that would meet the current and unforeseen needs of his customers. He applied for a patent in 1912 based on a shirt design that contained many unique and innovative features—all of them based on simplicity and functionality in the outdoors.Filson was awarded a patent for his Cruiser Shirt design in 1914.

RIOT's Ready to Unleash the Fire on you Metal Warriors!

RIOT's Ready to Unleash the Fire on you Metal Warriors! Legendary metal pioneers RIOT are back and are ready to unleash the follow up to 2011's 'Immortal Soul', They are ready to unleash power metal at its finest, They are ready to unleash music in the great RIOT tradition that you've come to know and love, RIOT is ready to 'UNLEASH THE FIRE!' The long anticipated disc is released via Avalon/ Marquee and Spv/ Steamhammer records once again and is receiving fantastic reviews! The CD entered the Hard Rock 100 Billboard charts at 75 and Rolling Stone Magazine gives it a 4 out of 5 and Burrn! Rock Hard and Aardshock are calling it album of the year! The new album promises to please fans of the 'Thundersteel' era of RIOT as main song writer and long time Mark Reale music collaborator Don Van Stavern does much of the writing as he did on 'Thundersteel' and 'The Privilege of Power'. DVS is joined by long time RIOT band mate, song writer and Reales guitar partner of over 20 years Mike Flyntz to create what they feel is something they are proud to call a RIOT record and Reale would have thought that as well. RIOT has a tumultuous history of member, label and management changes throughout the bands 30 plus year career but one things for sure, a bands longevity is through good music and if this new record is any proof, they will be around for years to come.
Bursting out of New York City with three ground-breaking albums in quick succession 'ROCK CITY'(Capitol), 'NARITA' (Capitol) and 'FIRE DOWN UNDER'(Elektra) featuring vocalist Guy Speranza then another iconic period with the albums 'Restless Breed" (Elektra) and 'Born in America" featuring vocalist Rhett Forrester, RIOT quickly became one of the biggest cult metal bands in the world. Stunning performances in the UK at the first ever Castle Donington Festival with Rainbow and Scorpions, and Port Vale supporting Ozzy Osbourne the following year, and support slots with Sammy Hagar, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Rush, Kiss to name and few cemented their reputation as the hottest ticket to see.
With the Eighties developing into a metal-fest, a new-look new-sound RIOT bounced back transforming from an edgy hard rock band into a power metal assault. Guitarist Mark Reale recruited metal bassist Don Van Stavern (SA) Slayer) and collaborated on songs for the widely-acclaimed release 'THUNDERSTEEL' (Sony). Reale and Van Stavern joined vocalist Tony Moore, drummer Bobby Jarzombek and Marks guitar cohort, Mike Flyntz who completed the twin axe attack. RIOT was reborn, and followed 'THUNDERSTEEL' two years later with the jaw-dropping conceptual album 'THE PRIVILEGE OF POWER' (Sony) featuring an elite list of guest performers.
With the departure of Van Stavern and Moore, Reale shifted gears with a new look RIOT featuring vocalist Mike Dimeo, bassist Pete Perez and drummer Frank Gilchriest. This line up released several albums and did tours but eventually after many industry, media and fan requests for the reformation of the legendary Thundersteel power metal line-up Reale contacted former members and the plan was put into action!
RIOT's classic 'Thundersteel' and 'Privilege of Power line-up reformed for a limited reunion in 2009 and delivered another ground breaking disc 'IMMORTAL SOUL'. Released by major metal heavy weights Spv/ Steamhammer & Avalon/ Marquee, and a successful Tour with performances on the prestigious Royal Caribbean 70,000 Tons of Metal oceanliner concert and appearances at Sweden Rock and Metalway festivals solidified RIOT's long sought after return a success, but success doesnt come without tragedy. RIOT's journey has never been easy, with personal changes and the untimely deaths of frontmen Guy Speranza, Rhett Forrester as well as the passing of long time guitarist Mark Reale who finally lost his life long battle with Crohns disease in 2012.

Fix Filtration Soiling With Help From Chem-Dry of Summerville
(Those noticeable, ugly, black lines that appear around the baseboards and underneath the doorways of your home.)
If your home has light colored carpeting, you may have noticed those noticeable dark lines that appear along the edges of the carpet. This soiling is called filtration soiling because it comes from the air that is passing through the carpet as it is attempting to get through the crack between the carpet and the baseboard or underneath a closed door. This tends to occur over a significant period of time and is usually not noticed until a larger build-up of filtration soiling has occurred.
Filtration soiling is difficult to remove because the soil particles are so fine that they penetrate deep into the carpet pile, and sometimes into the backing of the carpet. The effects of filtration soiling can be removed achieving adequate results with the use of specialty cleaning tools and products, and a reasonable amount of time and effort. Call Chem-Dry of Summerville at (843) 797-1025 for a free estimate and phone consultation for their filtration soiling removal services. To help prevent the effects of filtration soiling, vacuum and wipe down the edges of the carpeting on a regular basis.

College Light Opera Company's production of Candide tracks a huge cast of characters as they reconcile empty optimism with true happiness.
GLITTER AND BE GAY – Such are the thoughts of Cunegonde (Allison M.Clendaniel) in one of the notable songs from Candide, now at College Light Opera Company's Falmouth theater.
CLOC's Candide a thinking person's comedy
College Light Opera Company's production of Candide tracks a huge cast of characters as they reconcile empty optimism with true happiness. With challenging vocal roles and a non-stop storyline, Candide gives the company a chance to shine in Falmouth.
Candide and Cunegonde are in love, but since their dreams, hopes and goals are worlds apart, they spend the entire play looking for each other.
They are also miles apart in social standing – at least at first. Candide is Cunegonde's illegitimate cousin, living at Schloss Thunder-ten-Tronck by the grace of his aunt and uncle, the Baron and Baroness. There, the tutor Dr. Pangloss (Paul Wilt) teaches Leibniz' philosophy of optimism to Candide (James F. Soller), Cunegonde (Allison M. Clendaniel), her brother Maximillian (Cameron Brownell) and the baroness' handmaid Paquette (Grace Caudle). Simply put, "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds."
This philosophy prepares them not at all for what life dishes out.
When Cunegonde catches Pangloss and Paquette in the act, she finds Candide so they too may experiment in the lesson in physics Pangloss was giving Paquette. Their resulting marriage plans (which differ in ways reminiscent of Green Acres in "Oh Happy We") are cut sharply short when Candide is exiled by the Baron and Baroness.
A heaped up tale, built of as many cheap adventure and romance novels as one can hold, ensues. But they're not just any adventures and romances. With all their innocence, the quartet's adventures manage to mock religion, government, philosophy and God. They are rife with blasphemy and sedition, delivered with matter-of-fact wit.
Narrated by Voltaire, the story travels from Westphalia to Lisbon, Paris, Cadiz, Montevideo, Eldorado (where they find everything they could possibly ever want but it's so dull it makes Paquette want to scream), Suriname, Constantinople and finally, Westphalia. They are sold as slaves, ravaged by marauding hordes and killed repeatedly.
Paris is where Candide first finds his lost Cunegonde. She is living there as a prostitute, shared by a rich Jew and the Grand Inquisitor. Clendaniel's aria "Glitter and be Gay" - in which she weighs what she has become with what she's getting out of it - is a vocal and comic showstopper.
This is also where we meet the Old Lady (the one with one buttock – she'll explain later). Gillian Hassert owns the role with physical comedy that matches a wonderful voice. She enjoins herself to Cunegonde, despite great personal risk (including but not restricted to being abducted by cannibals).
What other operetta cavorts through the Spanish Inquisition and natural disaster the way Candide does? Disillusionment is piled high – in the guise of mirth and addictive melodies. When it comes down to it, Candide is just trying to make sense of life.
Will he survive the Spanish Inquisition? Will he find the happiness that eluded him even in Eldorado? At College Light Opera this summer, you have until July 21 to find out.
The College Light Opera Company presents Candide through July 21 at 8 p.m. at Highfield Theatre in Falmouth. Next up: The Student Prince, July 24 to 28 at 8 with a matinee July 26 at 2 p.m. For tickets ($30), call 508-548-0668.

The annual conference of Association of Physicians in India, which was organised after al most 50 years in Punjab concluded on Sunday. At the conference a disease named – scrub typhus came out as a major cause of concern.
Of 400 research papers submitted by doctors from all over the country and across the world, who took part in the conference, 60 were based on scrub typhus. This disease is caused due to a parasite named Orientia tsutsugamushi.
The disease which is very uncommon and least known in India, however, is witnessing emergence of cases in northern India especially Punjab, Haryana and Uttarakhand where mites are found in abundance due to green fields and vegetation growth.
Dr Karamvir Goyal, head medicine, Fortis Hospital said, "This disease is caused after bite of mite which leaves black scars. If the patient does not have fever after few days of mite bite then the patient will start vomitting and will have rashes all over the body also swelling in lymph nodes."
He added that the disease is very uncommon in India and has no vaccination till date. "If it reaches higher stages, it can affect lungs, heart, liver and brain. Till now there is no vaccination for it but research is going in UK to develop one," said Dr Goyal.
Talking about presence of disease in India, he said, "This disease broke out during World War II in Burma and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). In India now we see it appears occasionally with 2-4 patients a month. A lot of awareness needs to be generated among people. Even its diagnosis tests are not available at every place in India," he said.

Panoramic photograph taken by renowned photographer James Blakeway.
It features a beautiful twilight image of downtown Montréal as seen looking across the St. Lawrence River. Montréal is located on an island at the junction of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers and is the economic and cultural heart of the largely French-speaking province of Québec. The tallest building, with its triangular-shaped roof, is 1000 rue de la Gauchetiére. The area along the river on the right is known as Old Montréal. It retains its historic character with the largest concentration of 17th, 18th and 19th Century buildings in North America. In the distance is Mount Royal (originally French Mont Réal), the hill after which the city is named.

Michael Conway is a freelance visual artist from Chicago, born on the south side and currently
living in the city's Albany Park neighborhood with his wife and cat. Humor
is central to his body of work, around which fantasies, scenes from life, popular culture, and
punk culture are presented in tangents, either seamlessly woven or forcibly bent.
Michael's practice is driven by an obsession with drawing. His current project is a series in
which he completes a drawing every day during 2014 and post it to various social media outlets.
These drawings have become the foundation for his recent work. As of this time, the project
has spawned 5 zines, an assortment of silk screened posters, photographs, and self-contained
drawing series'. The recurring themes lend a journal-esque quality to the project, while the
immediate public exposure asserts that each entry is part of a conversation. These drawings
are posted to his Facebook page, as well as on Instagram (@michaelfinnconway), Twitter
(@michaelfconway), and Tumblr (michaelfinnconway.tumblr.com)

In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university's social elite - Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico - who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friends, Margarita. Finally, in the face of his friends' preoccupations - and Federico's growing renown as a poet - Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and he draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship undreamt of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls. And then one night, in the phosphorescent water, it becomes something else.

Venezuela has been a leading country of the resistance in Latin America to US Empire and, through the Bolivarian Revolution, has put in place reforms that have created greater democracy and economic equality. Chavez called it 'Twentyfirst Century Socialism.' However, in the Dec. 6 Venezuelan elections, the right wing won 109 of the 164 seats in the National Assembly giving them the power to possibly undo much of the progress that the Bolivarian Revolution made over the past 15 years. We speak with Keane Bhatt, who was in Venezuela during the elections about the state of the economy, the elections and the extent of US involvement in both of these. Then we speak with Jesus Rodriguez-Espinosa of the Venezuelan Consul in Chicago about the response to the elections and next steps for the revolution. Visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

We speak with Herman Wainggai, a former political prisoner, visiting scholar and a leader in West Papua's self-determination struggle, John Miller of the East Timor and Indonesia Action Network and Arnie Saiki of the Moana Nui Action Alliance about the ongoing threats to self-determination and resistance to it in Asia Pacific. Colonialism is still present and just as destructive as ever. We discuss the fight for independence in West Papua. Few know that West Papua was given independence only to be invaded by Indonesia. They have been under military occupation for more than 50 years. We discuss why and the US' hand in it. We also speak about the Moana Nui Action Alliance which brings the struggles of many Pacific Islanders together. With the TransPacific Partnership racing to the finish line and the military's Asia pivot, collective resistance is critical. For more information, visitwww.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

The capitalist economic model is one of wealth extraction from communities to consolidate riches at the top. As an antidote, many communities are building alternatives to this model – models called economic democracy, the solidarity economy and 'buen vivir' (good living). We begin with Michael Johnson who is actively building the alternative economy in the Northeast to talk about what the alternative looks like and how communities are making it a reality. Johnson is currently on a book tour. Then we speak with Ellen Brown of the Public Banking Institute. Ellen has been following and writing about the fragility of the global financial system. Her most recent article concerns an extreme step being taken by central banks in the European Union of moving to a negative interest rate. This means that depositors could be forced to pay banks to hold their money. Ellen will describe who is the most impacted by this practice and who is most at risk. Visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

While Martin O'Malley was governor of Maryland, he pushed two energy projects that threaten the health of local Marylanders. First we hear from Lili Sheeline who lives near the neighborhood of Cove Point where Dominion Resources is building a new gas refinery, power plant and export terminal. It is the first gas export terminal to be built on the East coast and the first in the world to be placed in a densely-populated community. Learn more about it, why O'Malley was given the "Golden Pillow" award for his role and how the community is fighting back. Then we hear from Amanda Maminski of Curtis Bay where Energy Answers is trying to build a large trash incinerator. O'Malley tried to sneak it through as a 'clean energy solution' but the community didn't fall for that and they are working to build a solar farm there instead.

This fall, with international treaties like the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) and Paris climate treaty looming, mass actions are taking place to demand an end to the fossil fuel and the rapid transition to clean sustainable energy, trade that doesn't drive a race to the bottom in worker rights and environmental protection and a health care system that includes everyone. As a wave of protests is unfolding in the capital of Vermont, we speak with Jane Palmer, a landowner trying to stop a fracked gas pipeline on her land. These actions are part of Rising Tide North America's campaign, Flood the System. We talk about the mass mobilization being planned in Washington, DC November 14 to 18 to protest treaties like the TPP and the TransAtlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

October 16 was World Food Day. Decades of consolidation of agriculture into large industrial farms and the drive for ever greater profits is destroying family farms, the environment and climate, our health and food safety. Vandana Shiva writes, ""For the planet and people, the costs have been tragically high. 75 per cent of the earth's biodiversity, soils, water have been destroyed, the climate has been destabilised, farmers have been uprooted, and instead of nourishing us, industrial food has become the biggest cause of disease and ill health." We speak with Jim Goodman, an organic dairy farmer who started Family Farm Defenders, about the what smaller farms are doing to protect their futures and the integrity of the food system. Then we speak with Diana Reeves, founder and executive director of GMO Free USA, about the growing movement to label foods that contain GMOs and her work to build sustainable and healthy food systems.

October 7 marked the 14th anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan. The week started off in a tragic way with the US bombing of a Doctors Without Borders (Medecins sans Frontieres, MSF) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. It was the only hospital of its kind serving Northeastern Afghanistan and treated hundreds of patients every week. The Senate held a hearing last week to discuss the situation in Afghanistan. We discuss the hospital bombing and why this may be a violation of international law and we will speak with Kathy Kelly, who travels frequently to Afghanistan, about her impressions of the US' military presence there. We also discuss Columbus/Indigenous Peoples' Day and its impacts on US 'War Culture'. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

We talk with attorney and consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who, along with a team of lawyers and museum experts, recently opened The American Museum of Tort Law in his home town of Winsted, CT. The first museum of law in the country, focuses on tort law which governs claims made in courts by victims harmed by wrongful actions of corporations or others. Tort law operates of, by and for the people by giving people the power to right injustices and operates because of citizen participation: citizens bring the lawsuit, not the government; and the outcome of the lawsuit often depends on a verdict reached by a group of ordinary citizens, sitting as jurors, who determine the facts to and apply the law.However, for many reasons, Tort law is under attack. In addition to the new museum, we discuss current issues with Nader, among them whether people will be able to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other corporate rigged trade deals.

Thursday night last week, 29 October 2015, saw the Oscars of the wine industry unfold – The Platter's by Diners Club South African Wine Guide 2016 was releasing its results. Over 200 wine industry personalities waited with baited breath as the prestigious 5-star award winners were announced.
The Platter Wine Guide was started in 1980 by wine legends John and Erica Platter who rated all the wines in the Cape at the time. Back then it was a thin and skinny booklet as the industry was still shackled by the previous regime, with grape and wine production being controlled, and had not yet mushroomed into what it is today. In the 2016 Guide there are over 900 producers and over 8 000 wines that are rated.
And there is solid proof that South African wines are getting better each year. The 2016 Guide features the highest amount of 5-star wines ever – with 83 5-star wines, plus three 5-star brandies and one 5-star husk spirit – also known as grappa in Italy or marc in France.
The stars of the show, the Oscar equivalent of Best Leading Role or Best Picture, went to Mullineux And Leeu Family Wines and Warwick Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. Chris and Andrea Mullineux are the "It" winemaking couple right now and produced not only the 5-star Red Wine of the Year for theirMullineux Iron Syrah 2014, which is a site specific cracker of a Shiraz, but also the Sweet Wine of the Year for their experimental Mullineux Olerasay non-vintage Straw Wine, which is made in the Solera style (similar to how a sherry is made in Spain).
They are a young and dynamic couple, based in the Swartland, who never cease to push the boundaries in the industry and are often seen as mavericks, but always quality producers.
The White Wine of the Year award went to icon Stellenbosch winery Warwick Wine Estate. Family-owned for over 50 years, Warwick had one of South Africa's first female winemakers, Norma Ratcliffe, as its owner and winemaker. Now winemaker Nic van Aarde has taken the reins in the cellar and has a produced a classically styled Chardonnay – the Warwick White Lady 2014 – made by using natural yeasts and ferment. Warwick has always been most famous for its Bordeaux-styled red wines, so it was with great pleasure that this single-vineyard white was recognised.
Other winners were Spier, which took four 5-star awards; and both Newton Johnson Family Vineyards and David and Nadia Sadie, each took three 5-stars. There were also 16 producers who won their first-ever 5-star award, with relative newcomers, Savage and Luddite being super pleased with their achievements.

A former MCA employee who pleaded guilty to firing a rifle at the company's high-rise headquarters last April 20 was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison.
John Brian Jarvis, 58, pleaded guilty Feb. 9 to seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of firing at an occupied building.
Under terms of a plea agreement, Superior Court Judge John Reid sentenced Jarvis to 10 years in prison.
Jarvis originally was charged with seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon and nine counts of shooting at an occupied building. He had faced a maximum 30-year prison term.
Workers at MCA headquarters dived under desks and ran for elevators when Jarvis fired a rifle at the 16-story tower from a park.
Two people were shot and wounded, and six others were injured by flying glass.
