Agenda for action in 2013
Again this year, The News Tribune's editorial board has identified what we believe should be fundamental priorities for Washington state, this region and our communities.
The agenda below reflects the values and concerns that will guide our commentary through 2013.
At the top is education. With Washington's economy recovering from five years of distress, this state should finally be able to invest more in its public schools and colleges. The state Supreme Court's McCleary decision is more than enough reason to expand the opportunities we owe our children and grandchildren.
Our 2013 civic agenda:
Public education needs a radical rethinking this year.
For decades, the Legislature has been evading its responsibility to fully fund the state's schools, expanding other programs while forcing school districts to rely on local levies to pay for such basics as textbooks, school nurses and bus drivers.
That's got to stop, said the Washington Supreme Court last January in its landmark McCleary decision. The court demanded that the Legislature comply with the Washington Constitution, which states that "ample provision" for basic education is the "paramount duty of the state."
Nor does basic education consist of harried teachers in overcrowded classrooms. As common sense and the court defines it, "ample" means far more the bare bones. Every child, even in poor school districts, must be offered the high-end academic skills needed to succeed in a complex, technology-intense world.
This means the Legislature must appropriate hundreds of millions of dollars more per year to the K-12 system. That's going to require some very tough choices in Olympia, probably including more taxation.
The Supreme Court has no authority to raise taxes or micromanage legislative budgets. Budget-writers are accountable to the voters, which means that the public holds the ultimate power to demand or deny adequate funding for schools.
The public understands that simply dumping more money in an underperforming school system will produce only a more expensive underperforming school system. But Washingtonians can be persuaded to invest more in the system if they see greater accountability in their schools, high academic standards, and science-based teaching and administrative practices.
Voters will pay for results. They won't pay for the status quo.
College opportunity doesn't fall under the constitutional definition of basic education, but few students will find success in tomorrow's economy without vocational or academic training beyond high school.
If the state's founders could have foreseen the 21st century, we'd probably be talking about a K-14 – not a K-12 – system.
In the economic distress of the last five years, the Legislature has cut deeply into the budgets of public colleges. The idea was to increase financial aid at the same time, so that families of limited means would not be frozen out of the system. But tens of thousands of eligible students are being denied need grants, the state's chief financial aid program.
As lawmakers move to adequately fund the public schools, they must also ensure that high school graduation is a step toward college, not a dead end.
Untreated psychiatric disorders are often hell on both the sufferers and their families. Unfortunately, it often takes a tragedy before the public takes note.
The South Sound last year saw an appalling string of assaults and killings that might not have happened had their perpetrators received professional therapy and appropriate medication. An example was the Aug. 11 shooting in a Wauna store; three men were hit, and one died.
The suspect, it turned out, was a deeply disturbed woman whose family had been struggling unsuccessfully to get her into treatment.
The state must provide more community-based care. Laws that create ridiculous obstacles to involuntary treatment should be adjusted to reflect reality.
Existing funding is perversely mistargeted. Some of the mentally ill finally get treated in jail after they commit crimes. It would be far less expensive and more humane to treat them outside jail before they commit crimes.
Pierce County could start addressing this by establishing a mental health court, which would divert petty offenders into therapy instead of jail. King, Snohomish, Thurston and Kitsap counties have such courts; it's time Pierce County had one, too.
The South Sound is undergoing a surge of it own right now as thousands of Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers return from Afghanistan.
Roughly 10,000 JBLM troops were routinely deployed during the Afghan and Iraq wars; that number may fall below 1,000 by the end of the year.
The base has already expanded dramatically since 2003; it now hosts 46,000 military personnel, plus dependents, and 12,000 civilian employees.
The influx of troops and military families creates both opportunities and challenges for Pierce and Thurston counties.
In economic terms, the active-duty soldiers and newly discharged veterans will boost retail sales and tax revenues. Their sheer numbers will also stretch social services, schools and colleges, public safety, and the transportation system.
Younger veterans who enlisted after 9/11 have experienced high unemployment. They need jobs and training. Virtually all combat veterans are exposed to extreme stress; many need continuing treatment and the community's support.
The growth of the base has also dumped thousands of additional cars onto Interstate 5 from Lakewood to Lacey. Traffic relief in this corridor – including public transit – should be priorities for of both the federal government and state Department of Transportation.
The combination of stalled revenue and relentless health care inflation turns government budgeting into a zero-sum game. The more cities, counties, fire districts and other agencies spend on administration and compensation, the less they have to spend on the public services they exist to provide.
The City of Tacoma is the poster child of foolish spending. Its leaders handed out generous raises and fat benefits for years, creating a crisis that is now forcing layoffs of police officers, firefighters, librarians and the unsung stalwarts who patch the city's potholes.
To avoid such debacles, policymakers must be willing to buck demanding constituencies, including public unions. Vital services must override the interests of pressure groups and campaign supporters.
Ensuring that government business is done in plain sight is crucial to the public welfare. The voters' ability to make informed decisions is a foundation of democratic self-government.
Public officials evade scrutiny in many ways – such as holding meetings with minimal public notice, deliberating behind closed doors and manufacturing new exemptions to open records laws. Regimes of secrecy are prone to corruption, arrogance and self-serving decisions.
The state Legislature has been remiss in not operating under the same public disclosure rules that apply to local governments.
Washington's incoming governor, Jay Inslee, has the opportunity to run a more open administration than his predecessor, Chris Gregoire. Her expansive notion of executive privilege, especially, has kept important internal documents hidden from view.
When disclosure decisions come down to judgment calls, public agencies should always err on the side of openness.

UConn needs Faris to step up and score
STORRS -- Scoring has not been a priority for UConn sophomore Kelly Faris. She has done exactly what has been needed to help her teams win. Usually, tending to the blue-collar aspects of the game is what has earned her playing time and recognition.
Faris, a 5-foot-11 guard, did not score a point in 52 minutes in two games at the Final Four last April in San Antonio. Yet, she was one of the most influential players on the court.
Her roles last season were to play defense, rebound and make the right pass. This season, though, coach Geno Auriemma has made it clear that the Huskies need Faris to be a scorer.
"It's doing what coach asks you to do,'' Faris said. "He's still getting on me a lot because I've still got to get out of my old mindset of just constantly passing the ball. But when coach Auriemma, a guy like that, asks you to do something, then you've got to change it. He wants me to be more competitive on the offensive end and that's what I've got to do.''
Faris is not a complete stranger to being an offensive threat. She completed her career at Heritage Christian High School in Indiana ranked second in team history with 1,426 points.
Last season, she averaged 4.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.9 minutes over 39 games off the bench for the Huskies, who host Indiana (Pa.) tonight (7, XL Center) in their final exhibition game. However, she shot just 38.2 percent from the field, which is one reason why she spent a great deal of time during the off-season working on her shooting.
"It's going to be a little bit of a struggle for her because she's got the ball in her hands a lot more now,'' Auriemma said. "And that's going to take some getting used to. And I want to encourage her to think of herself as a scoring threat, not just, `I'm a role player. I play defense. I rebound.'"
Auriemma has praised Faris, who reached double figures in scoring just three times a year ago, throughout the preseason for being more offensive-minded and more confident. It showed during UConn's 112-41 exhibition victory over Franklin Pierce on Nov. 4.
Faris finished with 11 points (5-of-7 FG). She scored on put-backs, off cuts to the basket and off the drive.
"That was definitely something I was working on, but he's going to want more than that every game," Faris said. "It is progress. But, at the same time, I have to keep it consistent and move forward and not take any steps back."
UConn senior All-American Maya Moore averaged a team-high 18.9 points last season. Junior Tiffany Hayes averaged 10.2. They are the lone returning players who averaged in double figures.
The Huskies are in need of a third scorer. At this point, Faris is a prime candidate to step into that role.
"I can't sit here and say, `Yeah, I have to score 15, 16 points or whatever it is every game,'" Faris said. "But I don't think that I'm going to get by scoring two points or four points every game. I think he wants me up there. The way his mindset is, and the way our team is right now, we have to have more than just two scorers.''

Jacob Hough said he's eager to show off his style at the German Village restaurant.
When Jacob Hough was working at McDonald's in high school, he knew he wanted a career in the culinary arts.
After a representative from the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute visited his high school for a career day, Hough's decision was made.
"I was always drawn to it," he said. "The culinary world is awesome."
As of two weeks ago, Hough became executive chef of Barcelona, one of German Village's most celebrated restaurants.
While chefs come and go in many restaurants, Barcelona had managed extraordinary continuity.
Paul Yow, who had served as executive chef of the restaurant during nearly all of its 16 years in business, recently opened Natalie's downtown with his wife, Hae Ran.
"The team works together better when there is not constant changes especially with a management position," said Scott Heimlich, who owns the restaurant.
"The stability is also important for what the guests see and perceive.
"Food quality should always stay consistent and there are no sudden changes to the menu and preparation of dishes," Heimlich said.
Hough, who has been at Barcelona for three years, said he's up to the challenge.
"I am comfortable," he said. "I have been groomed for this position."
Heimlich said he's confident in Hough's abilities.
"Jacob is an incredibly talented chef," Heimlich said.
"Besides his cooking techniques and his ability to create incredible dishes, he is also a great leader in the kitchen with our staff. Jacob has a thirst for knowledge and is always trying to learn more about Spanish cuisine and what we can do at Barcelona to incorporate more ingredients and dishes."
Hough said he likes Barcelona's forward-thinking approach to cuisine.
"We're always looking for the next best thing to do," he said.
After graduating from the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, he worked for Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.
Returning to Ohio, he worked for Hyde Park Restaurants and then at Bexley's Monk.
Hough said he will have plenty of opportunity to tweak the menu.
In keeping with tradition, three to four entrees will change weekly, plus a few starters.
Hough said he wants to expand the tapas menu, as well.
But he doesn't want loyal customers to get nervous.
"I just want them to know things are going to change a little," he said.
"I'm not trying to change the brand. I'm not trying to fix what's not broken."
"I just want them to know things are going to change a little. I'm not trying to change the brand. I'm not trying to fix what's not broken."

PHILADELPHIA - Brandon Boykin doesn't want to think about it but he knows Saint quarterback Drew Brees has been studying his game film this week.
Only Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman has more interceptions than Boykin, who has a career-high six interceptions.
Boykin picked off Robert Griffin III to start the regular season and Kyle Orton to finish it, and the Cowboys, in the NFC East title game.
Nickel corner or whatnot, that's one of the important details a Pro Bowl quarterback spends a little more time on.
'I'm sure he is but as a player we don't think about that like, 'I wonder if Drew Brees is looking at my stats?' ' Boykin said. 'I'm viewing him and I'm looking at what I've got to do. But hopefully that's the case because that means he's aware of how well our defense is doing. But I could care less, to be honest.'
Brees reads the field fast and gets rid of the football faster. That's the way a 6-foot quarterback survives in the NFL.
Boykin knows where most of the slot receivers he covers can go, not where they want to go. And at 5-10, 185-pounds, that's what enables him to compete against opponents who typically are almost half a foot taller.
The Eagles won't have Boykin single-covering Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (6-7, 265) when the teams meet in their wild card opener Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
But with the group job the Eagles have planned, no one would be surprised to find Boykin strategically helping out on Graham, who led all players with 16 touchdowns this season.
Whether it's bumping, re-routing or mixing zone with man-to-man coverage, the Eagles are going to show Brees and his fleet of receivers including Marques Colston a ton of looks, figuring every split second will add to the stress that comes with throwing a football in frigid 25-degree temperatures. Boykin knows that from studying Brees.
'He doesn't really panic in the pocket,' Boykin said. 'If it breaks down he's still stepping up in there trying to find somebody. And he is kind of mobile. He can run it if he has to. Just all of that combined and his experience makes him good.'
Like his teammates, Boykin doesn't want to overthink football. Including the attention he knows he's getting from Brees.
'When you start thinking about all that stuff and reading it that's when you stop making plays,' Boykin said. 'Just do whatever you've been doing. Be consistent. That's what's gotten me here. It's nothing that magically happened. It's just preparation over time since April. Nothing has changed for me or any of us.'
• Three Eagles were voted first-team Associated Press All-Pro in balloting by the media.
The cast includes running back LeSean McCoy and a couple of the guys who helped him lead the NFL in rushing, offensive tackle Jason Peters and guard Evan Mathis.
It's the fifth All-Pro team for Peterson, who made his sixth Pro Bowl and the first All-Pro honors for McCoy and Mathis. McCoy recently made his second Pro Bowl team.
Mathis' top honor before All-Pro was Pro Football Focus All-Pro.
• The Eagles list safety Earl Wolff questionable for the Saints.
Wolff was credited with participating fully in practice but basically the final session before a game is a glorified stretch.
Wolff has played just one quarter since hyper-extending a knee two months ago. It would seem to be expecting a lot of the rookie to step in and contribute immediately against Brees.
Backup guard-center Julian Vandervelde is out with a bulging disk in his back.
The Eagles list safety Colt Anderson (knee), the fierce special teams player as probable.
• For the Saints, running back Pierre Thomas (chest) is out.
That could mean an expanded role for Darren Sproles.
Safety Rafael Bush (ankle) is probable. The Saints are without their most talented safety, Kenny Vaccaro, whom Sean Payton put on IR.
Linebacker Keyunta Dawson (calf) is questionable.
• With both the Eagles and the Packers hosting opponents with better records, there's talk of reseeding playoff teams based solely on wins, losses and the occasional ties.
Sure, it detracts from competition for teams to win their division and get a home game in the playoffs. But if winning is everything, it's only fair. And while you're at it, the Cardinals (10-6) are almost as good as the Eagles and clearly more deserving of the playoffs than the Packers (8-7-1).
The Saints were 11-5 in 2010 and as a wild card had to play at Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. The Seahawks were 7-9. And they eliminated the Saints, 41-36.
'At the beginning of the season the No. 1 goal for every team is win your division,' Payton said. 'I think this system currently works very well. I think it's very fair. I think in the future you're going to see an additional one or two wild cards per conference. And you may all of the sudden not see the bye for teams.'
• The NFL fined Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray $21,000 for striking Eagles defender Damion Square with the crown of his helmet last Sunday.
Murray could have been penalized but wasn't. Under NFL rules the ball carrier cannot deliver a blow with the crown of his helmet.

hi everyone,
i have a Vostro 1015 with no Bleutooth, and i don't use webcam or microphone, i just need to install NetBeans and eclipse.
ubuntu is good for me, but i want also to try CentOS 6.2 (32b).
Can anyone show me where i can find a test like this for CentOS!
and if is possible, can convert my NTFS Partition to Ex4 or Ex3 without losing data ?
i wish the best for u too.
I have a Vostro 1014. It works fine with Ubuntu, Mint and Fedora. I don't use headphones, but sometimes the microphone doesn't work with Skype. Skype works just fine with Linux Mint 9 though. By the way, I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions with my Vostro 925 processor. No problems with either one. 64 bit Linux Mint supports 8gb of RAM, in spite of Dell saying it only supports 2gb. My only complaint is the Celeron 925 processor does not support Virtualization Technology. I can use VirtualBox to run a 32 bit virtual client, but it won't work with a 64 bit virtual client. Wish I got the Core 2 Duo instead of the Celeron now.

I had problem with dell vostro 1015 and Fn+F11 key that has function to enable / disable wireless.. The led didn't show light and I could not enable it till I instaled bcmwl-kernel-source
Than everything worked fine after installation…
I'm thinking of buying this laptop for use with Ubuntu, but I have a doubt… does tested mean "works"?
my solution of "this stupid headphons work in the same time with the speakeres" was upgrading kernel to 2.6.28-18-generic, then manual installation alsa 22.214.171.124 sound driver.So now speaker mutes then headphones are plugged
I have this stupid Problem , this stupid headphons work in the same time with the speakeres .

NOAA satellite images decoded. Daily images.
BurntFishTrousers posted a topic in Weather Discussion - Autumn,Recently posted in the Hurricane Lorenzo thread some NOAA satellite images I was able to receive with a decent 137Mhz antenna and some decoding software. People were doing this sort of thing way back 15-20 years ago, but you don't see many images posted nowadays. It's still quite cool!

Codebreakers and Groundbreakers
A pioneering and interdisciplinary exhibition, Codebreakers and Groundbreakers will bring together, for the first time, the remarkable intellectual achievements and parallel narratives of two groups of 'codebreakers' working at the same time, but independently: those involved in breaking the Second World War codes and those who deciphered the ancient script of Linear B – Europe's earliest comprehensible writing system...

Degas, Caricature and Modernity: Daumier, Gavarni, Keene
Edgas Degas (1834-1917) possessed what his friend Walter Sickert (1860-1942) described as 'a rollicking and somewhat bear-like sense of fun'. This exhibition looks at three caricaturists and satirists whose work Degas admired and collected in large numbers: Honoré Daumier (1808-79), Paul Gavarni (1804-66) and Charles Keene (1823-91)...

Terra Firma
Artist Pallavi Paul's installation considers the mechanics and practices of truth production. The central motif of the 'secret' invites visitors to engage with ideas of espionage, secrecy and the world of information by viewing, reading and walking on this artwork. This textual landscape, composed visually to look like code, responds to the Codebreakers and Groundbreakers exhibition.

My good gracious! Another Kardashian post so close to Christmas? I must be on the naughty list this year. I'll be honest, I'd rather receive a lump of coal than to have to pontificate on this fake family during the holidays. I do it for you, dear readers. You mean more to me than my disdain for this crowd. Isn't that what Christmas is all about? You're welcome. 😉
In today's news, Kris Jenner is trying to maintain her now faux marriage to husband Bruce despite a ridiculous amount of divorce rumors circulating in the media. Also, sources are claiming that Nick Cannon was also a victim of Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape. I can't wait to hear the chain of information that led him to this conclusion!
Finally, Bruce is opening up to the media about his ties to Newtown, Connecticut and the Sandy Hook murders. While typing that makes me want to vomit (let this community grieve without reality television intervention!), it's what he's talking about now. I used to like you, Bruce, but I've lost all respect if you're trying to maintain relevancy in light of this horrific event. Sidebar, and this has nothing to do with this blog, but from here on out (sorry for the soapbox) will we please refer to the Sandy Hook shootings as a mass murder and the man that took those innocent lives (I won't give his name more credence here) as a murderer? I read a compelling article the other day that noted in school shootings the public regresses to words like "shooter" and "victims" instead of using "murderer" and "slain" or "dead" in these types of tragedies. If someone killed a gas station attendant, we'd call it a murder, why don't we say that now? Off my soapbox and onto the Kardashian kraziness. I taught first grade for several years, so I am a tad raw at the moment…as no doubt you are.
Moving along (so, so sorry for the rant!), Kris is determined to make sure that her failing marriage doesn't drown the empire she's created around her children (notice I don't say the empire created FOR her children). What won't this woman do?
