In the Heart of the City, a Place to Call Home
The West Quadrant of Portland's Central City is a place for work, learning and play. While it serves as a major employment hub for the city, it also offers a wide range of recreational activities, fine dining, nightlife, and other amenities that create a lively civic atmosphere. As a result, the West Quadrant has increasingly become an attractive place for residential development with several well-established urban neighborhoods, including the Pearl District and Goose Hollow.
Future housing development should include a range of affordability and types. Charrette participants expressed interest in targeting particular types of housing in certain areas. For example, family-friendly housing should be targeted in areas with amenities such as parks and schools for children. There are some challenges, however, to achieving diverse, vibrant neighborhoods in the West Quadrant, including available tools to create a range of housing options.
During the West Quadrant Charrette in June, participants identified the need for at least some housing in every district to increase livability and appeal — even in employment-focused areas. There is ample development capacity to accommodate significant new development for housing. But with housing sprinkled more evenly throughout the West Quadrant, better residential services and improved connections to services will be needed.
An example of where this could happen is along the downtown waterfront, near Waterfront Park. At the heart of the city and as the major employment center for the entire metropolitan region, downtown could be a more desirable place to live. More housing near the waterfront could dramatically increase evening and weekend activity in the area, as well as improve public safety and help businesses thrive and attract a diverse workforce.
In the West Quadrant, a great model of a district in which people can work, play and live is the West End, located west of downtown between the Park Blocks and the I-405 freeway. With a diverse mix of housing, employment, entertainment and retail offerings, the West End has transformed in recent years into a culturally rich and desirable neighborhood. While not New York City with round-the-clock activity, the West End features lots of amenities for residents and visitors alike.
Other areas of the West Quadrant could also be transformed into unique places, busy with the bustle of employees heading to or from work — who could also enjoy the offerings of their neighborhood after work and on the weekends.
Creating more residential options and enhancing the West Quadrant's neighborhoods is just one of the big ideas that came out of the West Quadrant Charrette. Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we feature other themes that emerged from the process. Next up: Active transportation!

|MLBPA Press Release
Charles Gould, national president and chief executive officer of Volunteers of America, said, The Players Trust has been a true partner to Volunteers of America, and they have become familiar members of our team working to improve the lives of people in need. Thousands of people have benefited from the generosity of Major Leaguers and we look forward to continuing to work together to build better lives and stronger communities well into the future.
"On behalf of all Major Leaguers, the Players Trust is honored to once again support the diverse humanitarian efforts of Volunteers of America by awarding grants that will have a positive impact on so many people in need, said Melissa Persaud, Director of the Players Trust. Major Leaguers are inspired by Volunteers of Americas long-standing commitment and ability to address pressing social needs in communities across the country, and they urge others to follow their example.
This years winning programs received Players Trust grants ranging in size from $16,000 to $45,000, which were presented on June 7 at Volunteers of Americas national conference in Seattle. The six programs serve thousands of people in all regions of the United States:
Volunteers of America of Wyoming and Montana, The Gathering Garden: Players Trust funding will be used to develop, grow and sustain The Gathering Garden, a resident and community garden. The project will directly benefit the Residential Wellness Program, which trains and empowers women, men, children and seniors to promote a healthy lifestyle. The Gathering Garden will benefit more than 1,000 individuals and offer community enhancement, sustainability for the environment and pride of ownership and education for program clients.
Volunteers of America of Kentucky, Upward Mobility Project, Tennessee: The grant will be used to support the Upward Mobility Project, which aims to fully integrate people with intellectual disabilities into their communities and improve their quality of life. Upward Mobility -- a partnership between the Federal Transportation Administration, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Volunteers of America Kentucky and the Major League Baseball Players Trust -- will purchase six wheelchair-accessible vans. The funds will improve service, transportation access, safety and reliability for people with developmental disabilities throughout Tennessee.
Volunteers of America of Western New York, Childrens Center, Rochester, N.Y.: Funding will help open a new state-of-the-art Childrens Center and large, outdoor playground for low-income families living in Rochester. The nationally accredited Childrens Center provides child care and education programs for 260 children each day. The grant will provide a safe place for children to play in the early evenings and on weekends, as well as a place for families to hold birthday parties and other celebrations out of harms way.
Volunteers of America Greater Sacramento & Northern Nevada, foster youth mentoring program, Sacramento, Calif.: Grant funds will be used to establish a mentoring program for former foster youth ages 18 to 24. This program is the first of its kind locally to target the unique needs of foster youth who have aged out of the system. It expands an existing two-year transitional housing program aimed at helping these youths become independent and self-sufficient through increased income and savings, job training, education and housing. Through mentoring, these youth will improve social skills and self-esteem and have greater success achieving education and employment goals.
Volunteers of America Western Washington, NorthWest Seattle Food Bank, Seattle: Funds from the Players Trust will be used to establish the NorthWest Seattle Food Bank and Community Resource Center for the Greater Seattle/King County area. The grant will help feed 27,000 individuals, an almost 12 percent increase from 2009. The award also will be used for the purchase of new walk-in refrigeration equipment that will increase the amount of fresh, nutritious dairy and produce available for food bank clients.
Volunteers of America, Dakotas, Bowden Youth Center, Sioux Falls, S.D.: The grant will expand transportation services for low-income and refugee families in the neighborhoods served by the Bowden Youth Center. The center is a safe education and recreation place that also serves as a drop-in center for runaway, at-risk and homeless youth. The Bowden Express van will connect a minimum of 100 youths and 20 parents to existing resources such as literacy services, recreation, education and prevention programs provided at the center. The Bowden Express and the creation of this shuttle system will provide a safe and secure option for needy parents.
Volunteers of America has partnered with the Major League Baseball Players Trust since 2002. The centerpiece of this relationship is the Action Team program, which encourages young people throughout the United States to volunteer in their communities. Action Teams, consisting of Major League baseball players and Team Captains from area high schools, work together in cities nationwide to encourage young people to get involved in their communities by volunteering. To date, Action Teams across the country have inspired more than 25,000 high school students to help over 100,000 people in need by volunteering in their communities.

New York City
Up until this point, I'd never really dealt with architectural rendering on this level, and was pretty lost as to how to include so much detail in such a relatively short period of time. As I progressed from painting to painting however, I discovered that the secret wasn't in the detail you included...but in the detail you left out. The trick was to edit and indicate. Keep it loose, but accurate. Big brushes. Big brush strokes. Practice, practice, practice.
This went on for about a month and culminated in the painting below.

Awesome painting - as with a lot of your work I like the way it's painted so freely yet so much 'realism' about it. That sounds like a good assignment and one I think I might have a go at myself.
Thanks for the 'pro tip' about editing out unnecessary details as well.

- July 7, 2010 at 1:46 PM
Nice painting. Seems like people always respond to this kind of selective detailing in paintings because it looks so real to us from a distance but up close it's not detailed. This approach to doing a matte shot seems a lot harder to do on the computer, but I guess the same principle can apply. Everything would have to be painted a lot bigger than final resolution though, right?

Nice work Paul! At first I thought this was a photo you took and then it expanded to be a well-indicated painting. Great work... yet again. :) It's great how the colors are limited but seem to make it more vivid somehow.

- hans said...
it is so refreshing to see this 'idea' of realism in a time where nearly every design is overloaded and killed with detail. and what you write about the secret you discovered should hang on the wall in front of us.

@ hans, yes, it's extremely annoying when people ask you to render your designs to death. This painting is beautiful, nice and loose.
- August 19, 2010 at 4:22 PM
The finished product looks incredible. What I wouldn't give to have artistic talent (I'd probably give my two arms, which render me a little artistically deficient!).
I'll be travelling to NYC (and the USA for the first time) from Ireland - Until then, I think I'll stare at this creation and let my imagination flow.

Hi Paul
I've admired your traditional matte painting work for years - though it's been years since I've seen any.
I've got a blog dedicated to old school matte painted effects and cover many artists, genres, studios and titles. I'll be doing a Dick Tracy special sometime soon.

I don't think I've ever received so much e-mail so quickly as with last week's column on the cut-off of analog television , ranging from puzzlement and outrage to predictions of sudden increases in both book sales and pregnancies.
First, an update. Last week I had a chance to see one of the first non-HD digital televisions at a home entertainment show in New York. RCA showed its 27-inch 27V514T set displaying a digital over-the-air broadcast next to a set receiving the same channel in analog form, through the same antenna. The digital image was significantly better ( more on this from Gary Krakow ).
As several readers reminded me, many over-the-air viewers will find that converting to digital sets could significantly improve the images they receive. At the same time, however, fringe-area viewers may find that digital signals simply don't reach them at all. And several readers in England, where digital over-the-air is already common, noted that the signals are more sensitive to weather and can break down in heavy rainstorms.
But the discussion really isn't about digital versus analog—that decision was made years ago; it's about how digital will replace analog in this country. And on that score, the vast majority of readers were very outspoken.
Marguerita, West Jordan, UT: I think if they were going to do this they should have begun halting the production of analog sets when they proposed the transition. If they would have produced reasonably affordable sets right off the bat, more people would have them in their homes now. It is obvious that foresight was not part of the plan.
Sue Gordon, Huntington Beach, CA: No one has even mentioned the staggering cost to local government, businesses and consumers to manage all of these "obsolete" analog TVs as hazardous waste. Many states, including California, as well as the federal government, now regulate CRTs as hazardous waste. The cost to recycle them ranges from $30-55 a unit and the cost to dispose of them is equally onerous. The government better consider the financial impact of disposing/recycling these obsolete televisions.
Rogers replies: In fact there has been some informal discussion about recycling programs that are partially funded by manufacturers. But since analog sets will still be useful for watching DVDs, video tapes and video games, the odds are that there won't be an immediately massive disposal situation.
Wayne Collins, Tampa, FLA: Here in Florida when a hurricane comes through and tears out your cable lines, for now at least you can put on the old trusty rabbit ears until the power goes out. This is legislation that will affect public safety during catastrophes.
Dave Skinner, Colorado: I understand that technology needs to move forward but why is it always on the back of the average person? I don't need a new TV, I need lower medical costs, a secure social security system and how about a reasonable cost for fuel to get me to work. Maybe Congress should pass a law that would require all analog manufacturers and retailers to provide the conversion boxes FOR FREE. China would choke on that one... but maybe it's about time Congress started protecting the people that make up the United States instead of lining China's pockets.
Jamie, New Lenox, IL: As one of the seeming minority of Americans who still uses an antenna and an older set, I'm upset that the government can make these changes. We haven't caved to the pressures of cable or satellite TV, despite the fact we could afford it, simply because we don't want to afford it. The fact that we settle for an older set so that we can save more for our retirement (30+ years in the future) now seems like it's going to cost us more.
Anon: I think the whole idea of subsidized converters is ridiculous. I understand that low-income people NEED food, but no one NEEDS television. The fact is: many children could stand a little less TV in their day. Not having food will kill you, not having TV is just an inconvenience.
Crista Renouard, Houston, TX: I'm one of those 15 percent'ers who only have the broadcast channels. No cable whatsoever. If the cut-off happens in 2006, I won't do anything about it. TV is such garbage that I really don't care.
KMD, Azusa, CA: I live alone and make $30,000 annually. However, I cannot afford cable or to buy a receiver. With the high cost of housing now, every purchase is thought out at length. I work two jobs just to make ends meet. I have 2 small television sets and only receive about 7 channels. The public should have been notified about this 2 years ago.
Don Warrenburg, Bottineau, North Dakota: I live in a rural area 80 miles from the nearest towers, and I use an antenna to get my television stations. I'm not home enough to justify paying for cable and satellite. I would like to watch HDTV but they would need to install repeaters to get a useable signal out here. I don't think the networks are going to want to spend the money in our little area of the world. Those are just some thoughts from a small rural community that probably won't make any difference to most people. This does make a difference to me though.
D.J. Colbert, Gambrills, MD: My mom's in her 70's. She likes to watch the Today Show every morning, but doesn't WANT cable or a new TV. It works well for her and she's used to it; she doesn't want to relearn something she's been doing for all her adult life. Longevity being what it is today, she'll probably live another 25-30 years. Tell Congress they can "convert" all of us AFTER my Mom passes away.
Rhonda, Oklahoma: I think that it is wrong to change the way television is now. Most of my friends and I would not have TV except for free TV. We are just trying to make it and we do not have the extra finances to afford a box for our TV just to make it work. Congress will be sending most of us into the dark ages due to others' greed if they pass this rule.
Karen, Baltimore, MD: I think the warning labels should be on TVs now. I am upper middle class but would never pay for TV--cable is just 100 channels of more crap. But, I do own TVs and purchased one for my daughter the other day--with no idea it could soon need a converter box.
Rogers replies: Consumer electronic industry execs say that they would support putting warning labels on analog televisions once Congress sets a definite date for the cut-off.
Then, of course, I also heard from the early adopters, who are more than ready to kiss analog goodbye:
Logan Simmons, Jonesboro, Arkansas: I think setting an early date would be a good thing. I have owned an HDTV for years now, but have yet to receive an HD signal from anything other than my DVD player. I feel I am probably not the only one on this boat!
Anon: I'm in favor of pulling the plug as early as next Tuesday. There's nothing on TV anyway except CSI Miami. I like the Internet. The faster and more widespread Internet, sooner rather than later, is OK with me.
Mark, Spokane: Gee, if no date is set, this could end up in the same basket as the metric system. Seems like we had a law that mandated a change - but it was then "backed off" and eventually dumped. If we're going to do it, then let's just do it and get on with life!
Rogers replies: And then there's the inevitable questions that no one has really worried about yet…
Carl, Kingston, 1000 Islands, on the Ontario/NY border: One issue that's been virtually ignored in the rush to go digital is the effect on communities divided by the international boundary. Digital TV follows the US standard in Canada, but the cutover dates differ widely. Canada has taken a voluntary approach with only early adopters (such as Toronto's CITY-TV, CFTO and very few others) having made the conversion
Dumping analog signals in bi-national markets such as Buffalo-Niagara and Detroit-Windsor could mean splitting these markets in two, right down the borderline -- bad news for stations in border towns who potentially stand to lose a sizeable portion of their audience.
Rogers replies: A similar situation exists along the Mexican border. In one report the FCC hypothesized that the high percentage of Hispanic households using over-the-air reception was due in part to the fact that they also wanted to pick up signals from Mexican broadcasters not available on US cable or satellite.
If there was any consistent lesson in the voluminous email it is that a whole lot more consumer education needs to be done about the future of digital television. For its part, the FCC has launched a Web site at www.dtv.gov. But given my readers' concern that the government is already too aligned with the consumer electronics companies, the site is a bit overly promotional: Get It! Tomorrow's Television Today! (One reader commented that it sounds too much like a direct order.)
Broadcasters and consumer electronics manufacturers need to get involved also—otherwise this is going to be a guaranteed employment act for technology journalists, who will be spending the rest of the decade explaining, again and again, just what happened to everyone's dependable old television.

America got the wrong idea about rosé wines back in the 1980s, with the rise of White Zinfandel. Roses are not supposed to be pink soda pop. I'm not sure who's more resistant to rosés: newly serious drinkers mistakenly trying to live down their "sweet" wine days or devoted collectors who believe pink wine is just too damn wimpy. My Wine Spectator blog this week says dry rosé is a perfect summer wine and shouldn't be a four-letter word.

The good news is that these problems are caused by hormonal imbalances that are easily correctible with a regimen of proper diet, exercise, supplements and, in some cases, bioidentical hormone replacement. Yes, you can re-gain your mental stability, and get your energy and your life back.
Women's hormonal structure, indeed our very DNA structure, makes us the more complex sex. There's no question: throughout our lives, we labor harder in the physical, emotional and mental sense. Our reward is that we are susceptible to far fewer genetic diseases and we live an average of seven years longer than men.
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by the body's endocrine glands: ovaries, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals and pancreas. Hormones travel through the bloodstream, telling various systems what to do. In addition to reproductive functions, hormones affect virtually every body function from digestion and metabolism to hair growth.
The endocrine glands are closely linked to each other, especially the ovaries, thyroid and adrenals. Symptoms of imbalances in these three glands are remarkably similar, so it may be difficult to tell if one, two, or all three are out of whack.
Here are some common symptoms of sex hormone imbalance, thyroid malfunction and adrenal fatigue:
You'll also need to test thyroid function, including free T3 and free T4. A TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test may not be a reliable measure of your thyroid function, especially if you have symptoms of hypothyroidism. A saliva test of cortisol levels may help determine if your adrenal glands are handling stress efficiently.
By getting the whole picture, you'll know if your hormones are unbalanced, and you can take measures to remedy the situation.
If you have a sex hormone imbalance and you're not yet perimenopausal, magnesium, GLA (gamma-linoleic acid) and chasteberry may help relieve symptoms and re-balance your hormones.
If you are perimenopausal or menopausal, adding black cohosh, dong quai, chasteberry, red cover, and licorice root may help restore balance.
Prescription bioidentical hormones can bring you back into balance and they don't have the dangers of the synthetic hormones, though they still require a prescription and monitoring by a physician. On the other hand, synthetic hormone replacement therapy, especially progestin which is modified progesterone, can be harmful.
At any age, natural progesterone cream can help with a wide range of symptoms caused by progesterone deficiency, especially those of PMS and perimenopause. A combination of indole-3-carbinol or DIM (di-indole-methane)from brassica vegetables, plus calcium-d-glucarate (this is not just calcium) can help protect against breast cancer, by metabolizing the bad or cancer- producing form of estrogen.
Thyroid imbalances are best addressed with tyrosine, iodine, selenium, and if needed, prescription animal-based desiccated thyroid hormone. There are also compounded thyroid formulas.
Finally, adrenal fatigue can be resolved with stress management techniques, a low glycemic, high protein diet and avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and sugars, including alcohol. Small doses of the hormones hydrocortisone and DHEA plus vitamin C, licorice root and vitamin B6 can be very helpful, as are adaptogenic herbs such rhodiola and eleutherococcus (Siberian ginseng). Some of these are found in my Energy Balance Formula.
Please see our book, 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health: A Take Charge Plan for Women for details of these therapies and specific supplement dosages.

Financial reports filed by Orange County's 28 school districts this month show that while fewer schools are facing cash problems than last year, 39 percent of districts are still reporting difficulty meeting their financial obligations.
Eleven districts – including the county's three biggest – filed qualified budget reports in March with the county Department of Education, indicating they had yet to figure out how they would pay their bills for the next two years. In March 2012, 13 districts filed qualified reports.
Part of the problem, the districts say, is uncertainty about how state funding will be distributed to schools in the coming years. Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal for a new school funding formula still needs legislative approval.
Brown's plan would give school districts more of a say in local school spending, and would allot additional funding to schools with high enrollments of English learners and low-income students.
Brea Olinda, the only county district to start out the year with a positive report and then switch to qualified, is facing a budget gap of about $3.6 million, Superintendant Skip Roland said. Brea Olinda's budget projections do not include anticipated revenue from Proposition 30, which would bring the deficit down to $2.4 million.
Proposition 30, passed by voters in November, levied a higher income tax on individuals making more than $250,000 and a temporary sales tax.
Centralia Elementary, which was one of the 13 districts to file a qualified report in 2012, now is reporting a positive financial outlook. That's in part because of Proposition 30, but also because years of declining enrollment in the district have begun to level off, said Nancy Nien, assistant superintendant of business and administrative services.
Capistrano Unified, the county's second-largest district, filed a qualified report, but it has less of a gap to fill than it did in December. The district's anticipated budget deficit dropped from $31 million to $20 million between December and March because of increased funding from Proposition 30 and a reduction in school expenditures.
The district will likely try to reduce the budget gap by working to negotiate labor concessions later this spring, after the state budget is revised in May and districts are able to create a more concrete budget plan.
"We need to be conservative," said Capistrano spokesman Marcus Walton. "None of the heavy lifting is going to happen until we see the May revise and can go into negotiations."

Emails came in fast and furious from politicians, think tanks, etc. following President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
Here are a selection of press releases that arrived at the Observer…
Congressman John B. Larson released the following statement today on President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address:
"The strength of our nation rests on opportunity. I applaud President Obama for his call tonight: that opportunity should never be out of reach because of where you're from or how much money you have.
"The President is right to seek a higher minimum wage. From a forum in Winsted last summer to various events and meetings in the district, activists and residents alike have made it clear the current minimum wage is not adequate. I am pleased to see the President take a step in the right direction today and hope his words echo through Congress, where Members have heard the struggles of individuals and families around the country.
"Empowering the middle class is crucial for our economy. I was pleased to hear the President announce a new workforce training initiative and know that in the First Congressional District, local stakeholders are working to improve vital industries and strengthen our workforce. Just this month, East Hartford's Goodwin College in partnership with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology awarded its first credentials to students participating in a new program designed to improve our manufacturing workforce pipeline. I was proud to bring the Mayor of East Hartford Marcia Leclerc as my guest tonight. A supporter of local workforce training, Mayor Leclerc is a leader in bringing greater opportunity to the community of East Hartford.
"President Obama also spoke to the importance of supporting natural gas infrastructure. I commend his work to both lower our dependency on foreign energy and efforts to bring the financial and environmental benefits of natural gas to the nation.
"Tonight the President reaffirmed that together we can strengthen job creation, improve our education system, support our seniors and veterans and move our economy forward. I will be working with both sides of the aisle in the coming months on these issues and look forward to continuing my efforts for the people of Connecticut."
RATE Coalition Co-Chairs Elaine Kamarck, former White House adviser to President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, and James P. Pinkerton, former White House domestic policy adviser to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, made the following statement on President Obama's call for tax reform in his 2014 State of the Union address.
"President Obama's call for tax reform during tonight's State of the Union address not only reinforces the broad, bipartisan support for reform, it is yet another sign that the time for reform is now.
"Leaders in both parties, including Speaker John Boehner and the Republican and Democratic chairmen of the House and Senate tax-writing committees, support tax reform as a way to grow the economy and create jobs. Now is the time for our elected officials to seize the opportunity and work together in a bipartisan manner to craft and pass legislation that will simplify our tax system, make it fairer and put America's economy on a sustainable path to growth for decades to come. The RATE Coalition welcomes the President's comments tonight and the expanded debate on this important issue.
"Americans expect their elected officials in Washington to work across party lines and get something done that benefits the country and our economy. Revenue-neutral tax reform that lowers the world leading rate of 35 percent to an internationally competitive level is the perfect issue, and now is the time to do it."
The RATE Coalition is encouraged by President Obama's support of tax reform. Find previous State of the Union calls for tax reform here.
"As President Obama noted in his State of the Union address tonight, the growing wealth divide poses a serious threat to our country's future.
"The fact remains that the long-term solution is to educate our young people and prepare them to compete in the global market place.
"We have long understood, access to a college education is the most critical link to economic empowerment and closing the wealth divide.
"As we celebrate our 70th year, UNCF continues to lead the fight to provide post-secondary educational access to African Americans and other communities of color. We remain committed to opening the door for low-income students of color to achieve sustainable economic security and asset building opportunities.
"In order to reach our goal, our students must be prepared to succeed. The Common Core curriculum is an essential ingredient to college success. We all must do more to ensure its effective implementation.
"It is our collective responsibility as a nation to take action and recommit to expanding educational access for all Americans, especially low-income communities of color who have the greatest need and opportunity for success."
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released the following statement after President Obama delivered his annual State of the Union Address to Congress:
The President struck an optimistic tone tonight, and for good reason: unemployment continues to creep downward and most sectors of the economy are finally growing again. But while new jobs are being created and the economy is recovering, millions of working and middle class Americans are being left behind. We have to restore and expand opportunity for more people in this country, and the President laid out how we do that in practical, specific terms: by raising the federal minimum wage, lowering the cost of a college education, reinvesting in America's manufacturers, helping workers feel secure when they retire, and ensuring that health care is accessible and affordable.
Over the past decade, families in Connecticut and around the country have seen the cost of things they need—whether it's groceries, gas, or a college education—increase faster than their wages. Rising prices across the board mean that more Americans are working harder and still struggling to make ends meet. Simply put, family income just isn't keeping pace with the cost of living in this country. We can and we must do better.
The President was clear that while not every American will lift themselves out of poverty if given the opportunity, we have to ensure that those opportunities exist for everybody willing to work hard enough to take them. That's not only a smart economic game plan—it's a fair one that will give more Americans the chance to succeed.
I also applaud the President for his commitment to ending the epidemic of gun violence on our city streets and in our schools. Since tragedy struck Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012, tens of thousands more innocent people have been killed by gun violence – a reality that will continue without meaningful changes to our gun laws. But the Administration can only do so much to reduce this violence. Congress needs to reverse course and take action on common sense measures, such as improving background checks and investing in mental health, so that our schools and streets are safer for future generations.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy today released the following statement in response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address:
"Tonight, President Obama once again challenged Congress to work constructively with him to enact common-sense laws that strengthen our nation and foster economic opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.
"Too often during the past year – and despite the efforts of the President and many in Congress, particularly Connecticut's congressional delegation – Washington has been mired in political gridlock. But as the President highlighted tonight, regardless of inaction in Washington, progress is being made.
"In Connecticut, we enacted common-sense gun laws to make our communities safer; we raised the minimum wage to increase family incomes; we implemented health care reform to provide affordable, high-quality coverage to our citizens so they're healthier and more economically secure; we've invested in our roads, bridges and rail systems to enhance economic growth and our quality of life; and we're doing more to educate our children and train our workforce than at any time in the past two decades. No question there is more work to be done, but these accomplishments are progress by any measure.
"I commend the President's agenda and I urge Congress to work with him, to find common ground, and to act in the best interest of all Americans. And I look forward to working with the President over the course of this year to build upon the progress we've made as a state and a nation and to continue doing the work we were elected by the people to do."
Tonight, Connecticut Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo released the following statement regarding the State of the Union address:
"Tonight, President Obama addressed the country and laid out a vision of opportunity, action and optimism for all Americans.
"The President's plans to modestly raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10, extend unemployment insurance and to create new retirement savings plans will protect middle-class families – the backbone of our American economy.
"Meanwhile, as evidenced by their multiple competing responses, Republicans will continue to push their out of touch obstructionist policies that put politics before people."

British number one Heather Watson was made to dig deep before overcoming Alexandra Cadantu and securing a place in the second round of the Australian Open.
For a set and a half, Watson struggled in a low-quality encounter not helped by the blustery conditions on court 13.
But, after both players were treated by medical staff during a lengthy stoppage, the 20-year-old from Guernsey appeared revitalised, cruising through the remainder of the match to go through 2-6 6-3 6-2.
Watson's opening-point double fault set the tone in the early stages with Cadantu's greater ambition earning her the majority of the points. Although Watson cancelled out an early break, Cadantu claimed her opponent's serve twice more to take the opening set.
And when a further break enabled Cadantu to establish a 3-1 lead in the second it looked as though the Romanian, ranked 41 places below Watson at 91 in the world, was in the box seat.
But having secured a vital hold, during which she called for the trainer, Watson was examined for an unspecified injury. Cadantu also took the opportunity to see the doctor with the delay lasting for over 15 minutes.
The hold-up stalled the Romanian's momentum as it was one-way traffic when play resumed. Cadantu won just four points in the next four games as Watson levelled the match in emphatic fashion.
The largely British crowd sensed Watson was gaining the upper hand and they were proved correct when she ran through the decider, displaying far greater control on her ground strokes to advance to a meeting with either Mona Barthel or Ksenia Pervak.
Watson confirmed later that the injury time-out had come to her rescue after she started the match drained of energy and feeling faint.
"It did help me," she said. "It gave me time to eat, get some fuel in me and just get recharged and motivated. At the beginning I definitely wasn't there, I wasn't playing well. I didn't have much energy today, I don't know what it was. I am going to see the doctor after."

Some lawmakers and pundits greeted a Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce request for civility with politeness, but said they planned to be heard when they needed to be heard.
"I would not be doing my job if I didn't forcefully advocate for my district or the people of Colorado, from my perspective," said Rep. Edward Casso, D-Commerce City.
The chamber unveiled its letter to elected leaders in Congress and the state Legislature today, two days after the shooting of an Arizona congresswoman and others, but said that was a morbid coincidence.
"It's just weird timing," said Kate Horle, chamber spokeswoman. "This has been in the works for weeks."
The letter (the full text can be read at the end of this post) was signed by the chamber and a broad coalition of groups, ranging from business to labor to civic, that pledged to approach the legislature and Congress in a "thoughtful and respect-filled manner," and asked elected officials to do the same.

Women in combat: What will change
The Pentagon's historic move Thursday to admit women into combat roles opens thousands of opportunities for female service members who've spent a decade proving themselves in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it doesn't mean women will join Seal Team Six anytime soon.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey signed an order rescinding the 1994 rule that barred women from being formally assigned to combat units, a change they said would recognize the reality of women's service today and help the careers of female troops.
Story Continued Below
"Our purpose is to ensure that the mission is carried out by the best qualified and the most capable service members, regardless of gender and regardless of creed and beliefs," Panetta said. "If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job — and let me be clear, I'm not talking about reducing the qualifications for the job — if they can meet the qualifications for the job, then they should have the right to serve, regardless of creed or color or gender or sexual orientation."
Nonetheless, Panetta and Dempsey made clear that the goal was for equality of opportunity, not necessarily of outcomes. And although the military services were tasked with "reviewing" the requirements for their toughest jobs with a new bias toward admitting — as opposed to barring — women, Panetta and Dempsey said it's entirely possible that some high-profile units from which women are excluded today will continue to exclude them after the 2016 deadline for the policy change to take effect.
Panetta described how he wanted his six grandchildren to have every possible opportunity to excel at whatever they try, but he acknowledged that was not a guarantee that they would.
"Not everyone is going to be able to be a combat soldier," Panetta said, "but everyone is entitled to a chance."
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla) the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, repeated in a statement Thursday something he'd said the day before: That this change in policy may not ultimately mean that much.
"While the Pentagon has rescinded the 1994 Direct Combat Definition and Assignment Rule, not all of the 237,000 positions previously closed to women will now be automatically open," he said. "Instead, the military services, under Secretary Panetta's direction, will conduct a review of all unit and specialty positions to be completed no later than 2016."
Although Inhofe praised the role women already play in the armed forces, he said Congress would reserve its right "to introduce legislation to stop any changes we believe to be detrimental to our fighting forces and their capabilities," and that "I suspect there will be cases where legislation becomes necessary."

By Justin Tang
LOS ANGELES - UCLA Anderson hosted the third annual Woo Conference on February 26. The focus this year was on China's role in driving the global economic recovery. UCLA Anderson Dean Judy Olian welcomed both American and Chinese businessmen and students to the conference and opened with remarks regarding the increasingly globalized market. Olian described the US-China relationship as "crucial and vital to getting us out of the global recession." She also added, "The US-China relationship is a complex synergy, but it is a productive synergy."
The Woo Conference opened with keynote addresses by Luomei Shu, a commercial counselor for the Consulate General of China in Los Angeles, and Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group. Shu said, "The road ahead for China may be bumpy, but they must focus on promoting economic development and sustainable growth." Rein used his company's research in consumer trends to correct misconceptions of China. "One myth about China is its high rates of savings. But if you look at the fifteen to twenty-five year age group, they save none of their income; this has great implications for investment in China," Rein said.
The conference split off into different panels but gathered together for the closing keynote address by Wei-Tai Kwok, Vice President of Marketing for Suntech America. Kwok pointed to one glaring difference between China and the U.S. The U.S. has invested $94 billion Kwok named this period in China as the "Green Leap Forward," and prioritized the role of clean technology in economic development. Kwok concluded his address by stating, "The people of China are ready to achieve a carbon-free economy. Companies (in China) have become more socially conscious and global thinking."
The all-day conference also hosted discussion panels, which included forums on green technology, internet and social media, China's health care reform, and financial opportunities post-recession.

WASHINGTON — Speaking today on behalf of his "fellow broken people," Sen. Mark Kirk, who suffered a stroke in 2012, urged the Senate to ratify a United Nations treaty on the rights of the disabled.
Kirk, who is retired from the Navy Reserve, said he undergoes rehabilitation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and sees veterans working to become "victors instead of victims."
He said in one room there are patients who are collectively missing "about 20 arms and legs," but cannot be held back. "Go man, go," he said.
He appeared with Steve Baskis, 27, of Normal, Ill., who lost his sight while serving in the Army in Iraq in 2008. A Paralympian and mountain climber, Baskis once said it is "more difficult to navigate through airport security in some foreign countries than it is to climb a mountain," according to Lance Trover, Kirk's spokesman.
Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., who lost both her legs during the Iraq war when her military helicopter was shot down in 2004, also endorsed the treaty before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Duckworth said international travel poses obstacles for the 5.5 million veterans with disabilities in the U.S. She cited blinded veterans who had their guide sticks, mistaken as weapons, taken away and amputees who were told to store their prostheses in overhead bins.
In many countries, she said, the disabled are hidden, considered an embarrassment and not afforded the accommodations they need to live productive lives.
Both lawmakers were introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who sits on the panel. He said a high point was seeing Kirk climb the steps of the Capitol to return last Jan. 3 and noted that Duckworth, elected to Congress a year ago, is about to mark her ninth "alive day," when she survived her helicopter being hit.
The treaty, known as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, has been ratified by 138 countries, said Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who chairs the panel.
A 61-38 vote in the Senate last December fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to ratify a treaty. Opponents raised questions about U.S. sovereignty and other issues.

I am teaching a video game class, where the kids are learning how to program their own games (there will be more about this later, folks, so just be patient).
While still inside the classroom, I asked the kids to describe, using simple commands like "walk, stop, turn left, turn right" to navigate me around the desks to the other side of the room. They did this splendidly. One of the assistants from USC said, "Now do it blindfolded!" What started as a joke quickly turned into a great idea.
I went to my car, took my dog's scarf out, and gave it a good shake. I went to the corner of the quad, where students now had to give me even more detailed commands. Now, they were giving me turn commands in degree measurements! And then they had to program me to go down the stairs. They were really good about saying, "Now raise your right arm! Grab the rail! Step down! Step down!" It was a really fun exercise, which not only taught them about programming the playable character, but had the added benefit of me learning something from them.
Obviously, letting go and having my teenagers guide my every move was difficult psychologically. It was hard to believe that my kids wouldn't make me step in goo, or that they wouldn't make me brush past a tree or a bench "on accident." It was also difficult physically, since I was wearing high heels! Imagine taking an unseen step, even in 3" heels!
Ultimately, the kids got a kick out of it, and I did not fall and crack my head open and die.
Thanks to Mr. Quijada for snapping some pics on his iPhone!

This game was a lot of fun, unless you are a Sixers fan of course. It had a little bit of everything. You got some Sheed, some good JR and some hilarious Nick Young being an idiot. Overall it was another blowout win for the Knickerbockers, their third in as many games this season. Melo Tony led the team in scoring with an efficient 21 points on 7/16 shooting. Earl Smith had another strong game with 17 points on 7/15 shooting and almost got in a fight. Sheed entered the game in the third quarter and proceeded to drain a buzzer beating three to end the quarter. This game was loads of fun and the Knicks are 3-0 for the first time since 1875.
Here are my notes from the game:
- Lets start with Sheed. Despite looking like a homeless man, Mr. Rasheed Abdul Wallace was actually productive in his 14 minutes played tonight. He did a little bit of everything. Wallace hit a couple threes, blocked a couple shots and grabbed some rebounds. He also inexplicably threw a full court inbounds pass to Steve Novak with 11 seconds left in the game that caused me to fall out of my chair laughing. In all seriousness though, he actually looked like he could contribute down the line a little bit. I thought Kurt Thomas looked pretty bad tonight in his 6 minutes played, so potentially Sheed may take some of his minutes moving forward. It'll definitely be something to keep an eye on. However, there is no doubt that the bench combo of Thomas and Wallace is easily the funniest in the league. Between Thomas punching dudes in the nuts, slapping guys in the face and consistently getting away with shoving people under the basket and Rasheed doing Rasheed things and looking like a displaced hobo, they're great theater. I'm loving having them on the squad.
- Look what Nick Young did. It was hilarious:
- Prigioni did some good things tonight. He looked for his shot finally and scored 11 points on 3/5 shooting. I think as Prigioni continues to get comfortable with the NBA game, he'll get even better. He clearly has skills scoring the basketball and we know his prowess as a passer. The foreign import also set up JR Smith's monster dunk, in which Smith then taunted the crowd afterwards.
- Tyson Chandler had some of the ole strep throat yesterday. I'm sure he still had it today, but he played much better and didn't look like he was going to die. He did what Tyson Chandler do and the Knicks were good again on defense. He also took some jump shots. You'd expect them to look all goofy and weird, but his shooting motion is actually somewhat fluid and smooth. He made one and missed one. Tyson is limited offensively, but obviously he has been uber efficient as a Knick. That is mostly because 99.991919% of his shots come at the rim. So if he starts to shoot more jumpers, his ridiculous efficiency numbers will fall. That being said, I kind of like this wrinkle into his game. Chandler won't ever live or die by a jump shot, but often times he's so wide open in that free throw line area that he can shoot these shots without hands in his face. It'll be interesting to see where this jump shooting thing goes from here, but I kind of like it.
- Car Ant, formerly known as the guy who bitch slapped Mardy Collins, had another quality game tonight. A few times he got a bit sticky with the ball and he took a couple "WHAT THE F$%#!?!!?" pull up threes, but overall I thought he played a good game. His defensive effort was strong and he had another one of those blocks where he slaps the ball out of the guys hands before he can even wind up to dunk it or lay it up. His jump shot wasn't really there tonight early and I loved the way he adjusted. Instead of continuing to just throw up mid-range poop like we've seen him do in the past, Anthony started to attack the rim. He was effective in doing so, hitting 4/5 shots in the paint and shooting 6 free throws. I tip my imaginary hat to Mr. Anthony as he has been quite great through these first three games.
- Ronnie Brewer was 3/4 from outside the arc. If the Knicks choose to retain him at the end of the year, they should have him tear the meniscus in his other knee as that seems to have triggered some sort of Novak like shooting streak in Brewer's game. He also had 10 rebounds.
- Felton only played 23 minutes, but he didn't seem to tire out after the first 5 like he had in the two previous games. The Knicks have three days off before they play on Friday. I think we'll hear about Brewer maybe doing some extra conditioning in the middle of this week.
- Steve Novak was 0/2 from downtown, meaning he hasn't yet recovered from the Hangover style roofie trip he took this weekend. This information was brought to you by Chris Broussard's sources. I just got a text message, Jeremy Lin plays for the Rockets apparently. Weird.
- I'VE GOT ALL THE VIDEOZZZZZ TONIGHT! Check out Sheed beating the third quarter buzzer:

This document describes a new scheme for client authentication and authorization in GNU Anubis 4.x.
So far the only authentication method used by Anubis was based on the
AUTH protocol (RFC 1413),
and thus required client party to use a popular daemon
identd, which listens on TCP port 113 for authentication requests. As
its primary advantage, this method allows to quickly identify whom the server
had to deal with, i.e. to obtain user name or his UID. Actually, the
authentication process finishes before the client sends over his first
byte. Besides, this method allows to process the entire SMTP envelope.
It has, however, several drawbacks, first of them being the
requirement to run
identd on the client machine, which is
not always possible (e.g. on mobile devices), and may be considered
harmful for the system security (due to sending user ID over
the wire).
Proposed are two operation modes:
A short description of each mode follows:
Users are authenticated using ESMTP AUTH protocol. Early processing of SMTP envelope is not possible in this mode , instead it becomes possible only after the authentication is finished successfully. This mode also delays connecting to the MTA, since Anubis first has to perform ESMTP AUTH, and only after finishing authentication, does it read and process the user's configuration file and connects to the selected MTA. Of course, the client is not able to begin sending messages until he is authenticated and accepted by Anubis.
There is a great difference between the two modes. To begin with, `Pixie' mode provides a tunnel (or proxy), in the sense that Anubis connects user's MUA to the remote MTA without requiring any special actions from the user.
Let's consider a simple interaction between `Machine-A', which runs Anubis 4, and `Machine-B', where MUA is run.
A: 220 Machine-A (GNU Anubis vX.X [Dixie]) ESMTP time; send your identity! B: EHLO Machine-B A: 250-Machine-A Hello ID 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN 250-XDATABASE 250 HELP B: STARTTLS A: 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS <TLS> B: AUTH <METHOD> [method-specific authentication interchange follows]
Now, the Anubis server has authenticated the client using data from Anubis database! I'd like this database to contain, beside the user name and password, the name and password of this user on Machine-A.
Confusing? Let's suppose that the database contains following record:
The user has authenticated himself as `JohnSmith' with password `encrypted-pass-1', using ESMTP AUTH, and the given credentials matched those from the Anubis database. Now, Anubis, which has been running with super-user privileges, switches to UID of the user `John'.
Such solution will allow for a very flexible database, that would ease the administration tasks, since users will be able to update their corresponding records (of course, if the system administrator grants them such privileges). For instance, ODBC, SQL?
Let's return to our sample session. After successful authentication and switching to the user's privileges, Anubis parses file `~/.anubisrc'. Then, based on user's configuration settings, it connects to the MTA and from then on operates as SMTP tunnel and mail processor :-). It sends the following response to `Machine-B':
A: 220 OK, Welcome. Continue sending your mail!
The above description shows that it is impossible to use both `Pixie' and `Dixie' simultaneously. It is the responsibility of the system administrator to decide which operation mode to use. We could probably provide for a smooth switching between the two modes, without requiring to restart the daemon... However, it is not critical. Restarting the daemon in order to switch to another operation mode is also a feasible solution.
Now, let me describe for what kind of users each mode is intended.
The traditional (`Pixie') mode is intended for those users who use
Anubis on a single machine or within a local network that allows
to use
identd. In short, `Pixie' is useful when the use of
identd is possible and safe.
In contrast, the new mode `Dixie' is intended for more complex
setups, where a single machine running GNU Anubis serves a number
of clients connecting from different machines and networks. It
is supposed that no client machine is running
The only recommendation for this mode is that each user have a system
account on the machine running Anubis. But then, even this is
not required!
That's a feature I haven't described yet :^) As described above, Anubis
database must contain second login name in order for Anubis to be able to
switch to the user's privileges and parse his `~/.anubisrc' file.
Now, I supposed that the database is able to keep user configuration files
as well. So, each database record must contain an additional
flag informing Anubis whether it should read the local file
`~/.anubisrc', or read the configuration file stored in the
database. Sure enough, GNU Anubis still will have to switch
to the user's privileges, for security reasons, but this
can be done using usual
user-notprivileged configuration
(see section user-notprivileged).
Surely you have noticed that in its response to EHLO command
Dixie returned
250-XDATABASE capability. Yes, this is exactly
that command that I'd like to be used for remote management of
the database records (after having successfully passed ESMTP AUTH).
Available operations are:
REMOVE, meaning
addition, modification and removal of a user record, and
UPLOAD, providing a way to upload the user's configuration
file `~/.anubisrc'.
This solution will free the users from the obligation to have `~/.anubisrc' on the server machine, so they, for the first time since early Anubis versions, will be able to have their own configuration files. Current versions((6) require that the user configuration file be stored on the server machine before the user is able to use the service. This approach requires a certain attention from the system administrator. Should the user wish to change something in his configuration file, he would have to install the modified file on `Machine-A' (that's how it works now, and that's how it will continue to work for `Pixie' mode). The new `Dixie' mode solves this and frees the user from necessity to contact the system administrator of `Machine-A'. The Anubis database engine is supposed to check the correctness of the uploaded configuration file and inform the client about the result. It also should compute MD5 hash of the file and compare it to the one sent by the user... What for?
Well, we're almost finished. The user will have a small program,
config-sender, written in whatever language (C, Java, C#),
whose main purpose is to send user's configuration file to the
database. Such a program could even be installed on a mobile device!
Notice also, that this program is optional, the user is not required
to use it. I envision a situation where:
config-sender program. This
program, in turn, computes MD5 sum of the local `~/.anubisrc'
file and sends it to Anubis. There it will be compared to the sum
kept in the Anubis database, and if the two sums differ, the
config-sender will upload the contents of
`~/.anubisrc'... (7)
config-sender program will, of course, connect to the Anubis
database using ESMTP (TLS/AUTH) and
Such a program will be an additional advantage, since
no existing MUA is, of course, able to use
XDATABASE command to
manage Anubis database. Notice however, that
GNU Hydrant will probably
XDATABASE in the future...
Thus, the user will simply use his MUA, no identd, no hassle :)
Actually, the only requirement for the MUA is that it support ESMTP AUTH. Unfortunately, some MUA, even on UNIX-like systems, are still not able to use ESMTP AUTH. But in this case, the user can install Anubis on his machine and use it to perform authentication ;-)))
And the last detail: what to do if the remote MTA also requires ESMTP AUTH? The answer is quite simple: GNU Anubis is already able to handle this (see section esmtp-auth).
These can be stored in a special directory as usual files, then each database record will have an additional field with the name of the configuration file for the given user.
