People's Waterfront Coalition
Kitsap County: a win for the environment
Chalk one up for the pro-environment side! Last February a coalition including Hood Canal Environmental Council, West Sound Conservation Council and Kitsap Audubon appealed Kitsap County's critical areas ordinance (CAO) to the Growth Management Hearings Board. The coalition objected to the ordinance's requirement of only 35 foot buffer zones for a majority of shorelines, regardless of the resources along those shorelines. Also allowed were exemptions permitting destruction of small wetlands.
Sources with the coalition sent word today that the Board has ruled against the county, finding the Kitsap CAO to be not consistent with the state Growth Management Act. Among the findings:
The County failed to consider best available science in adopting the 35 foot buffers for saltwater shorelines.
The exemption of small wetlands failed to consider best available science.
The County has until February 22, 2007 to adopt a revised ordinance that adequately protects its shoreline and wetlands resources.

Next Week in Congress
A special 15-day session of Congress is coming up, here with some predictions is our own Tim Snide, returning with his regular feature The Slam Book® Goes to Washington. Tim?
Thanks. Here's what I'm getting from my crystal ball.
Abortion. In a last ditch appeal to his base, Sen. Rick Santorum will introduce a bill to award posthumous Purple Hearts to all Blastocyst-Americans who have given their lives in the War Against Medical Progress.
Unemployment. The Labor Department will report that unemployment surged in the 2nd quarter. It will report that the increase is due to the number of people who resigned from Rep. Katherine Harris's senate campaign.
Government Reform. The unnamed Senator who has placed a Secret Hold on the Obama-Coburn open government bill will be revealed: Senator Holy Spirit (R-Heaven), who is not so much secret as moves in mysterious ways. It will turn out Rep. Katherine Harris discovered that the separation of church and state is such a lie that, she will claim, the Founders allotted Heaven its own Congressional delegation. Harris will explain that this is the first time Heaven has elected anyone to send to Washington because Heaven, like Congress, is a place where nothing ever happens.
Religion. In a setback for fundamentalist Christian House members, the words "Bowie is God"--doodled in the margins of a
Futurescope photo: Bush at worship, with altar-roadie
dairy price support bill by a junior aide to Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va)--will be enacted into law. In a signing statement, President Bush will note that subsidized milk is a key ingredient in a good latte. Compelled to be logically consistent, Rep. Harris will then introduce a bill to revise the Pledge of Allegiance to read "one nation under Ziggy Stardust." Deified Bowie will quickly be embraced by youth-oriented evangelicals, who will invite Bush to give the lead guitar solo at Sunday services.
Unemployment. The Labor Department will report the unemployment rolls, after rising in the 2nd quarter, shrank by 27% in August. It will be attributed to the number of ex-staff of Katherine Harris For Senate denied unemployment benefits, a provision in a bill introduced by Rep. Harris.
Iraq. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, seeking to distance his 2008 Presidential aspirations from the Administration's Iraq policy, will begin hearings on what to do with the $1.5 billion a day being spent on the occupation after the U.S. eventually withdraws. Frist will propose a tax cut for the richest 1% of Americans--although Frist will call it a Peace Dividend.
Elections. Denying reports she is 'crazy,' Rep. Harris will appoint a new campaign manager, "who is just as sane as I am"--John Mark Karr.
That's all for The Slam Book.® Until next time, this is Tim Snide saying: Be afraid; be very afraid.

Raise the Red Threat Assessment
Scoop. Dir: Woody Allen. Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Woody Allen, Ian McShane, Romola Garai, Charles Dance, Fenella Woolgar. BBC Films.
Welcome back to the show.
There's a big crop of new movies out, and we've been remiss in telling you about them. To catch up on at least one of the big summer blockbusters, please welcome back our Vigilance Correspondent, Deputy Assistant Principal Undersecretary of State William "Henny" Penney, of the Department of Homeland Security. Henny, welcome back.
What? Oh, yeah. Hey.
You seem a little distracted.
I'm just kind of... Oh, who cares.
'Who cares?' You mean about the movies?
No no, homeland security.
But that's the Number One priority for Americans! Everyone cares about homeland security!
Not those who matter the most.
And that would be who?
Department of Homeland Security employees.
Really!? Why is that?
Isn't it obvious? It's because of the Democrats.
Democrats are having success. When that happens it has a negative effect on the war on terror. When the Democrat Party does well, homeland security suffers: TSA screeners don't check carry-ons as thoroughly; Border Patrol agents start letting anyone walk across the border; CIA analysts don't connect the dots; fighter pilots fly their F-16s just a little bit slower. When Republicans lose, we're more likely to get hit again.
Fascinating. I've been wondering how that worked.
Sure, I mean, look at Joe Lieberman.
But he's a Democrat.
You are so naïve! See why we can't trust you guys to keep America safe? Ned Lamont beats Joe in the primary, and look what happened.
OK. Um, what happened?
The airline bombing threat!
Oh that.
Yes! LIQUIDS! GELS! It's all dangerous! But because support for the Administration is sagging, our guard isn't up as high as it could be. Lowered guard! Even I, William Penney, am not immune.
From the ennui.
Yes. Since the al-Qaeda types helped Lamont win, I can barely bring myself to review the daily veterinarian-activity reports that arrive in my in-basket.
Veterinarian activity? Why does DHS monitor that?
If you don't know, you wouldn't understand. But I've already said too much. See? Lowered guard!!! I've just disclosed a secret program, and I could care less.
So what you need, Henny, what all Warriors On Terror need, is some inspiration.
Yes, making women take off their gel-filled bras before they can get on airplanes, that only goes so far. We need to know that Americans are terrified, so we can draw off that energy.
Well, something does cross my mind.
It's not exactly terror-related, but it hits some of the same notes.
Right now I'll listen to anything.
Well, about a week ago, Mayor Nickels--
Do you want to hear the story? Nickels held a press conference on the Seattle Channel. It was about the waterfront. Apparently there is something called a 'gribble' that poses a threat.
Is that an Islamo-fascist cell? 'Al-Gribble'?
No, it's a wood-eating marine worm.
Sounds... scarrrry.
Nickels says the gribbles, as well as a burrowing mollusk called the 'teredo,' weaken the Seattle sea-wall--
But-- that would mean-- the water!
Yes, Nickels said Seattle could slide into the Sound.
Hey, that's sort of like--
New Orleans? He did say we need to "keep our city safe," and "it's like New Orleans."
That's not just scary, it's terrifying! What's being done?
Well, he wants to spend billions on a waterfront freeway tunnel, and rebuild the seawall at the same time.
Hmmm. Fear... build support for political agenda... big contracts for patriotic contractors... plus security from the water. Sounds like a win-win!
Ya think?
Come to think of it, Seattle is surrounded by liquid!
It even falls from the sky.
Oh god, it does? IT DOES!!! Does the Mayor know? Has there been a threat assessment? is there a color-coded Gribble Threat Notification System?
Well, the Mayor unveiled a color-coded sea-wall map--
Good enough for me! I'm re-inspired! I gotta get back to work pronto.
Good man. But what about your movie review?
Oh. Right. Uh, okay. Woody Allen's "Scoop"--a cautionary tale about foreign travel. A British aristocrat is a possible murderer, which shows you that no one is above suspicion, so EVERYONE's phone calls, bank records, shoe sizes and veterinarians must be monitored. The movie also emphasizes the importance of checking the local traffic regulations when traveling abroad--you don't want to get killed driving on the wrong side of the road when you're racing to save Scarlett Johansson.
Thank you, Mr. Penney.

Mel Gibson at Alcoholics Anonymous? How's that supposed to work? Of course, if the meeting is at Charlie Sheen's house and the other members include Lindsay, Robert Downey Jr. and Chad Lowe, then maybe the anonymous part won't matter so much.
Non Sequitur (8/21)
Not Since Boeing to Chicago. It's August, so the Mariners must be trading down—and sure enough, into the sunset goes Jamie Moyer, who only has the most wins among Seattle pitchers. Ever. What a bum, right? Best of all, from the Phillies the Mariners get two minor leaguers named Andrew, who should be ready for the Bigs by 2008 or never. One, Andrew Barb, went to Juanita High School. If he catches on and gets a big contract, he'll be able to afford to move back here.
The Mariners also received a handful of magic beans.
So what happened? Moyer is old, but he's not old and washed-up; the Mariners have no room for only half a player.
Taking their cue from the Mariners, other Seattle leaders and institutions are seeking help in the form of trades.
Howard Schultz has traded the Sonics and Storm for the enmity of hometown fans.
The Seattle Art Museum is trading up to a new steel & glass box. It will change its name to "SeaMu"; members will receive a free annual credit check as well as free online bill-paying and direct deposit. Member FDIC.
The Grange and BIAW are using I-933 in an attempt to trade for all the money in the public treasury.
South Lake Union property owners have traded Westlake Avenue, the last free-flowing thoroughfare in the central city, for a streetcar-construction bottleneck.
Mayor Nickels is attempting to trade the worn-out Viaduct for a hole in the ground.
Speaking of the Allentown streetcar, transportation observers are holding their breath waiting to see what happens when the project begins building crossing Mercer Street.

Media mobs Mel in Malibu!
Riots greet Gibson plea
Actor-director Mel Gibson no doubt intended the best on Thursday when he pleaded No Contest in Malibu Superior Court on misdemeanor DUI charges. Instead it had the opposite effect.
In entering the plea, the "Chili Con Carne Club" star agreed to three years of probation, and was ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for one year. Gibson was fined $1300, ordered to enroll in an alcohol abuse program, and must insert a Friends Don't Let Anti-Semitic Friends Drive Drunk message into his upcoming film "Apocalypto," in theaters everywhere December 8.
Within minutes, word of the plea spread outside the Malibu courthouse. Representatives of print and television media voiced outrage at Gibson's decision to forgo a trial, and police called for reinforcements when the scene quickly turned ugly.
"It's unbelievable," said Jim Moret of Inside Edition. "We were expecting a lengthy trial with lots of continuances," Moret said, "but to have it end this way--it's a massive disappointment to our advertisers."
"I just signed a month's lease on an office around the corner," said a teary-eyed Annabeth Frandle, who had hoped to churn out a book about the trial. "This is just so disillusioning," she said, adding "I don't know what I'm supposed to tell the two college kids I hired for the summer. Thanks to Mel Gibson they no longer have jobs."
The situation quickly deteriorated when Gibson left the courthouse. "You're taking the food out of our families' mouths," FOX commentator Greta Van Sustern screamed at Gibson, as handlers hustled him to a waiting car.
Fistfights broke out as a swarm of papparazzi first overturned and set fire to trash cans, and then tried to block Gibson's car from leaving. Some threw themselves under the wheels and on the hood. "We wanted Innocent, Mel!" screamed one. "You hit me! I'll sue," shouted another. One photographer, caught on the car's antenna, continued to take pictures as she was dragged down the street.
Incidents of vandalism were reported, with TV crews overturning their own Action Newsvans. The only reported injury occurred when the microwave mast on one Newsvan was pulled down by the rioters, striking Extra host Dayna Devon in the head and ejecting her brain, which rolled into a storm drain and was lost. Devon said she felt fine and later returned to work.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger toured the scene of the devastation, and denounced the loss of a Gibson trial as a severe blow to California's infogossip industry.
"This could not have happened at a worse time," said Schwarzenegger. "The industry was just starting to recover and was looking forward to a Lindsay Lohan stint in rehab, and things of that nature. The soft news sector is going to be set back for years."
Schwarzenegger said he would send a request to President Bush asking that he declare southern California a cultural disaster area.
Informed of the Malibu disturbance while riding his mountain bike, the President paused long enough to say that his thoughts were with Californians. "I don't think anyone could have anticipated the stupidity of the entertainment news media," Bush said.

Flash: George Allen's mother is French Tunisian, "macaca" is French slur on Africans
Resmuglican Sen. George Allen of Virginia has apologized for calling a staffer for Democratic opponent Jim Webb a "macaca." Allen's excuses go a long way to revealing why the Rs' governing style has become so back-asswards this millennium.
1. Allen says "I don't know what it means." Resmuglicans say things they haven't thought about (see blind following, yesterday).
2. Then Allen
said the word sounds similar to "mohawk," a term that his campaign staff had nicknamed Sidarth because of his haircut. Sidarth said his hairstyle is a mullet — tight on top, long in the back.
Resmuglicans are out of touch with their base. Mistaking a mullet for a mohawk—in a Southern state no less—is on par with the 1990 incident where George The First didn't know what a supermarket price scanner was.
However, it hands Allen a whole new issue—hearing health. Macaca and mohawk of course sound nothing alike, which signals any number of audiological conditions from inner ear cilia degeneration to impacted ear wax. Watch for Allen to make a telegenic pilgrimage to a speech & hearing clinic later this week. His new slogan? "Hello Virginia: I'm listening."
Which would be much better than his current slogan, "What?"
Airport x-ray machines can detect if shoes have been tampered with. That should make the sleeper cells of al-Qaida cobblers think twice.
Of course, to George Allen cobbler sounds like terror. See? Always a rational explanation.
Clarification: yesterday's mention of Cafe Al Dente should have reminded readers that "al dente" is an Italian expression meaning "to the tooth." Al dente is not a new jihadi terror group. Please make a note of it.
How do you solve a problem like The Connelly?
What is it about the P-I's The Connelly? He seems to be missing the ferry more and more often of late, his column about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the theft of the Ohio 2004 vote was the poster child for poor reading comprehension.
Connelly's column for this Monday morning is another head-scratcher.
Partisan Democrats have directed brickbats at this space in the past week, over a column that condemned personal attacks demonizing Republican Senate candidate Mike McGavick.
Speaking on national TV from Baghdad in 2002, Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott charged that President Bush was willing to "mislead the American people" to go to war in Iraq.
In words from the Almanac of American Politics, many Democrats "sensed, probably accurately, that his comments helped destroy their party's chances in the November 2002 elections." Source
What the hell??? Joel, MCDERMOTT WAS RIGHT!!!
...only Democratic blunders can keep the party from major gains in November.
What sort of blunders? Getting shrill and personal, appearing weak on national defense, and stereotyping all who don't toe the party line. Source
This is straight out of the Resmuglican playbook--equating opposition with personal attack, branding responsible policy proposals 'weak,' and namecalling (e.g. "aid and comfort to the enemy," "LIBeral") on those who don't toe the neocon line.
Connelly's problem is that he is equating partisanship with blind following.
Let's get this straight: partisanship is Good. When I am voting for Hong Tran in the Primary, that's to send Cantwell a message on Iraq. But when voting for Cantwell in the General, it's because I'm supporting Democratic Party policies and an immediate power-shift in Congress. That's not blind following.
In evoking Bill Ruckelshaus, Connelly is unintentionally hilarious. And revisionist: Ruckelshaus was all about accountability and responsibility, but here's Connelly asking us not to hold McGavick accountable for the Misadministration positions he supports: by freely choosing membership in the Resmuglican Party, and standing next to its corrupt leaders like Frist, who (it was announced today) is coming to campaign for him. Or Dick Cheney, who already has; that time, the McGavick campaign said "This is a campaign that hasn't run from the administration".
Good to know. And remember.

Grow up you freakin' babies (9/14/2004)
A trip to Vancouver, WA last weekend proved a pleasant diversion. I hadn't traveled on I-5 south of Olympia for a long time. Vancouver is a cute little town, at least the part we went to (Mill Plain Blvd. and Downtown). Cafe Al Dente has a wonderful gorgonzola something-or-other, and bicycle-friendly Vancouver Marketplace has an abstract wood sculpture that reminds me of Donatello's Mary Magdalene.
Getting to Vancouver means crossing Red America though. There's a Big Gold Jesus statue along the way, in addition to the famous Birch Society billboard at Chehalis. Passing through Hazel Dell reminded me that this is where Linda Smith hails from.
But we had a good laugh at the yardsigns of Brian Baird's opponent in the 3rd District congressional race: the Resmuglican candidate is Michael Messmore.
Where the streets have your name
(The Edgar Martinez Way)
The Seattle "Bridging the Gap" transportation package is on the ballot, and there's enough in it to merit support. Even though we already pay taxes, and here we are going to vote on a special (possibly permanent) levy to pay for basics, Vote Yes by all means.
Sidewalkless neighborhoods are still screwed under this plan though, with new pedestrian paths funded at only a half mil or so. Good enough for 2 or 3 blocks, if the cost of curbs and drainage are included.
Otherwise, I'm not seeing anything else about new sidewalks, just repair of existing ones. Hold on—people who already have sidewalks get them fixed at public expense, but those who need sidewalks built in the first place still have to pay the bulk of it themselves, and apply for insufficient grant funds to pay for the rest? Not equitable.
Sidewalkless neighborhoods were also screwed under a recent City plan to add more oxygen-generating trees to residential planting strips. Planting strips are, of course, the space bounded by a curb on one side and a sidewalk on the other.
As far as paying for the tax package, the combination huge property tax levy-plus-employee and parking taxes smells like creative revenue forecasting, like they really had to scrape and fiddle with interest rates to make the numbers work.
We have to find a better way to finance public works than the property tax too. To afford the higher taxes I may have to build a DADU and take in renters. I'm not really a B&B person.
Are we ready for a state income tax yet? And under my vision we would keep the property tax, but exempt the first $300,000 on primary residences (rich people: your primary residence would be the one with the lowest assessed value).
And how's this for a revenue source: take a page from the Market and Safeco Field and sell naming rights. But instead of brick pavers, you get to name the section of the street in front of your house. Edgar Martinez Way, Royal Brougham Way, and now: Your Way! A lot of people would gladly pay for that. Imagine: Howard Schultz could live on Big Baby Way.

I am the leader of the fading superpower who has corresponded you before. I'm afraid I need your advice again.
A couple years ago some of the fellas thought it would be good to try and start an Empire. So to try it out we took over a country. Uh, I'll call it "Qari."
Well, one thing led to another, and now everyone's talking about "civil war." Civil war this and civil war that. And I said to the fellas, at least they're polite. And then they explained what it meant, and I said that was crazy, it's the opposite of civil!
And anyway, it's SO not true! My fellas show me the same intelligence as they show Congress, and everything in Qari looks like it's going just fine! "Mission accomplished" and everything.
So how do I quash these civil war rumors?
Signed, Curious George
Dear Curious:
Why the heck don't you want a civil war? Civil war is GREAT, look what it did for Korea! Recall the glory of your own civil war, and just imagine the wonderful history Qari could get out of its own war between the states--north vs. south, brother vs. brother, Shiite vs. Sunni, Secular vs. Sharia, Kurds vs. Whey. The people of Qari deserve a chance at this kind of glorious heritage! So send them a few fife & drum corps, and prepare to be interviewed by Ken Burns!

LA County Sheriff deputies thought they were making a routine DUI arrest last Thursday night. But it turned out they had hit the homeland security jackpot, nabbing another in the long parade of al-Qaeda seconds-in-command.
Deputies initially stopped the bearded, wild-eyed suspect for speeding. They then found the driver, identified as M. al-Gibson, an unemployed actor, appeared to be intoxicated. Deputies reported that al-Gibson made anti-Semitic slurs about "the Jews," and also was verbally abusive to deputies.
Sources with knowledge of the case reported al-Gibson said he was "going to f***" the arresting officer, and demanded of another, "why aren't your sugar t*ts adequately covered in accordance with holy scripture?"
The charges against al-Gibson were impaired driving and being in possession of explosive negative publicity. Authorities are now searching for the rest of al-Gibson's terror cell in star-studded Malibu, which al-Gibson claimed to "own."

Download this image for free in HD resolution the choice "Save full resolution" below. If you do not find the exact resolution you are looking for, then go for a native or higher resolution.
Among probably the most typical electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a swap. While making use of switches in your house is very quick, wiring a person may not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will find various kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly prevalent change (as well as the simplest).
You will find three hues of wires in the regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them to the terminal screws - one on major plus the other on the base screw from the switch. The white wire serves to be a supply of uninterrupted power and is particularly commonly connected to some gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the inexperienced wire into the ground screw of your change.
These actions would frequently be ample for making a typical swap work with no difficulty. Nonetheless, when you are not assured that you choose to can accomplish the activity adequately and safely you far better let the professionals do it rather. Immediately after all, you will find a rationale why this undertaking is one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring questions asked by many people.
For many explanation, the best way to wire a ceiling fan can also be among quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this activity, you may use a single switch for any single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it really is only a subject of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan for the black wire from the swap. When there is a light, the blue wire needs to be connected towards the black wire with the swap too.
There are reasons why these are essentially the most commonly requested electrical wiring issues. 1, lots of think it's straightforward to do, and two, these are generally the popular electrical jobs in your own home. But then you really shouldn't place your protection in danger within your aim to economize. The stakes could even be a lot higher when you endeavor to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring position without the need of enough awareness or practical experience.

Back on the 3rd-4th October, Berlin saw its first Maker Faire! As the organizer of the Raspberry Jam here in Berlin I got really excited to hear that finally Maker Faire was coming to town so, I jumped at the chance to represent Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Jam Berlin.
The goal was to let people know what the Raspberry Pi is and what it can do. And maybe also to sneak in that there is a Raspberry Jam in Berlin for those looking for support and community.
Phew – that was a lot of work to set up!
It was extremely important to keep things simple but still show off the potential of the Raspberry Pi. The spinning flower, for example, might not look like much to veteran Pi users, but to someone new it's showing the start of robotics. It's showing that with a couple of wires and a motor you can make things move. Each display showed a key feature found in most Raspberry Pi projects: interface, data collection, connectivity and feedback.
To avoid just having a mess of Pi's on the table I made some display plates (painted 4mm MDF with a lot of holes, held up by sticks). Thanks also goes to Pimoroni for making acrylic versions for me! This kept things neat and also at eye level for kids who would be coming to the booth.
Both days got really busy!
There was a constant stream of people interested in the Pi. Special thanks go to my great team who helped out at the booth: Richard Ruston, Dr. Nana Schön and Florian Merz. Without their help and sunny disposition I don't think our booth at the Faire would have run nearly as smoothly as it did.
We also won a Maker of Merit ribbon. How awesome is that?
What I can take away from the Maker Faire and the people I met is that education is very important to parents in Germany. They are looking for the resources and platforms to equip their kids for today's technological world, and there are lots of choices out there. But it is all a little fragmented and maybe not always easy to learn. I found appreciation for the Raspberry Pi and what the Foundation is out to achieve. I found kids with wide eyes willing to learn, teachers desperate to teach and makers willing to share. This honestly validates the work that is going into the Raspberry Jam Berlin and makes it clear that I am on the right track.
If you want to help, just get out there, go to your Jams, help out at your Maker Faires, volunteer at your local schools. Keep things simple but awesome. Engage with people and spread the word!

Houston Astros Make The Wrong Kind Of History—Again
Travis Pulver
Posted on August 22, 2019, by Travis Pulver
The Houston Astros are one of the best teams in baseball this year. They have one of the best, if not the best, starting rotation. Their bullpen is solid, and their offense is one of the most potent in the game. As a result, they have been favored or one of the favorites to win the World Series all year long.
But that didn't stop them from making the wrong kind of history for the second time this season Wednesday night in Detroit.
Via @MTasikumase
With Justin Verlander scheduled to take the mound and having a Cy Young-worthy season, the Astros were a favorite of historic proportions– some sportsbooks had them listed at -550. Caesars had them at -500 and the Tigers at +435.

Should have been an easy win, right? The next morning, when fans heard Verlander threw a complete game, struck out 11, and only allowed two hits, they would have assumed the game ended with a win for Houston.
But because those two hits were home runs, and Houston's offense could only manage a single run.
"Just an incredible performance," manager A.J. Hinch said after the game, via ESPN. "Just not one that we could help him with. We wasted a really good start by our starting pitcher."
It was the largest upset in baseball in the last fifteen years according to the database at BetLabsSports.com.
"We took a couple of straight bets on the Astros and a slew of parlays over $500 that had either the Astros money line or run line on them," Jeff Davis, Caesars Director of Trading, told ESPN.
Coincidentally, it is also the second time in less than two weeks one of the worst teams in baseball recorded such an upset against the Astros with Verlander on the mound.
Back on August 11, a day after destroying the hapless Baltimore Orioles 23-2, the Astros were a historic favorite over the Orioles. With Verlander taking the mound in that game, they closed at Caesars at -460; the Orioles closed at +420. While he only lasted five innings in that game, Verlander still recorded 11 strikeouts. But he also gave up nine hits and four runs.
When he left the game, Houston was down 4-3. However, with three runs in the ninth, they were able to take the lead. But then the Orioles recorded three of their own in the ninth to record the upset win, 8-7.
As shocking as both upset wins may be, they are a prime example of how any team can win on any given day in baseball (as cliché as that sounds). Because even the best teams will have days where everyone struggles at the plate. It is to be expected in a game where the best hitters fail to record a hit 70 percent of the time.
But on days like that, it just takes a couple of good hits to get the job done—which is all the Tigers got.
With the odds being what they were, many sportsbooks reported taking quite a bit of action on the Tigers. While the Astros do not play the Orioles (38 wins) or Tigers (41 wins) again, they do face a pretty bad Mariners (54 wins) team in early September and a bad Toronto (52 wins) team to close out August.
Verlander will likely pitch against both. It will be interesting to see what kind of action those games see.
Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros

AHIMA CEO Wylecia Wiggs Harris Named to Modern Healthcare Top Women Leaders List
CHICAGO – February 21, 2022 – The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA®) is proud to announce AHIMA CEO Wylecia Wiggs Harris, PhD, CAE, has been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of 2022's Top Women Leaders. This annual program recognizes top women executives who are influencing policy and care delivery models across the country. In choosing recipients, Modern Healthcare sought leaders who are passionate about nurturing diversity in healthcare.
This recognition comes on the heels of Modern Healthcare naming Harris a Top Diversity Leader last year. Harris is joined on the Top Women Leaders list by executives from Walgreens Boots Alliance, Kaiser Permanente, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and more.
"I'm honored to receive this recognition and grateful to Modern Healthcare for their coverage of our industry," Harris said. "Women have come a long way since I began my career, but with fewer than 10 percent of Fortune 500 companies led by women CEOs, we need more women represented in board rooms and C-suites."
AHIMA President/Chair Tim Keough, MPA, RHIA, FAHIMA, said this recognition for Harris was well-deserved.
"I'm not surprised Modern Healthcare named Wylecia to its Top Women Leaders list," Keough said. "She is one of the finest leaders I've worked with in my career and is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Wylecia is passionate about using public policy to reduce and eliminate health disparities and she played a key role in the development and publication of the AHIMA Policy Statement on Health Equity."
Harris will speak at AHIMA®22, the annual conference dedicated to health information, taking place October 9-12 in Columbus, Ohio.

Melorra claims to be delivering to over 2,700 towns in India so far, and has clocked 200 per cent year-on-year growth.
The five-year old startup is a jewellery brand, designing and retailing affordable and hallmarked jewellery for every-day wear.
D2C jewellery brand Melorra has raised $24 million funding from 9Unicorns, along with participation by Symphony International Holdings Limited, Value Quest, Venture Catalysts, Param Capital and family offices.
Founded in 2016, the startup delivers hallmarked gold jewellery to 718 Indian districts. The brand claims to have delivered to over 2,700 towns in India so far. The brand wants to become a "fast fashion" jewellery outlet and launch a new collection every week.
Saroja Yeramilli, (CEO), Melorra said "Disruption has been one of Melorra's foremost attributes ever since inception. As a digital-first jewellery player, we have adopted a multi-channel strategy to ensure Melorra is where its customers are. In this light, this funding comes as an affirmation that we continue to lead in the right path. We will be focusing on enhancing our operations and marketing and expansion of our experience centre footprint across the country,"
Apoorva Ranjan Sharma, Co-Founder, 9Unicorns, said, "Gold jewellery brands are aplenty in India. While traditionally, gold jewellery conjures up images of something heavy and occasion worthy only, Melorra has broken that barrier. By ensuring that gold becomes fashionable for every woman at every stage in her life, the brand has charted a growth path unlike any other in the segment."
Melorra aims to touch $1 billion in revenue five years from now and plan launch its international website in the near future.

"Data is the New Asphalt": Why Colorado Decided to Become an Early Smart Pavement Tester
The Colorado Department of Transportation will work with Integrated Roadways to test a half-mile of smart pavement later this year.
by John Aguilar, The Denver Post / May 30, 2018
Shutterstock/Alexandryashin
(TNS) — When a Highlands Ranch, Colo., woman suddenly veered off U.S. 285, down an embankment and into an aspen grove on the side of Red Hill Pass, she was found five days later suspended upside-down in her car with her feet crushed and her ribs broken — barely clinging to life.
Could a highway capable of detecting when a vehicle abruptly leaves the roadway have been able to summon help for Kristin Hopkins within minutes of her violent and undetected 140-foot roll off the pass in Park County four years ago?
Tim Sylvester, the CEO and president of Kansas City, Mo.-based Integrated Roadways, thinks his startup company's "smart pavement" — bristling with sensors and the latest fiber-optic and wireless technology — could be a lifesaver in mishaps such as the one Hopkins survived.

The company is teaming up with the Colorado Department of Transportation to test a half-mile of smart pavement later this year — at the very site where Hopkins' car plunged over the side of the road in April 2014. It would be the first test of its kind in the United States.
"We're doing it at this location for safety and better response times," Sylvester said. "If we can reduce the response time of emergency services, that could spell the difference between life and death."
The technology is part of the burgeoning Internet of Things, or IoT, sector, a wave that involves autonomous vehicles, so-called smart cities infrastructure and intelligent roads that not only can identify and warn drivers of hazardous conditions and sharp curves ahead but also provide an interconnectedness that is increasingly widespread.
"Smart pavement can make that determination and send that information directly into a vehicle," said Peter Kozinski, director of CDOT's futuristic RoadX division. "Data is the new asphalt of transportation."
The firm Research and Markets projects that smart-highway technology, which is already in use in various forms around the world, will grow from a $17 billion industry today to one topping $40 billion by 2023.
CDOT is readying a $2.75 million contract with Integrated Roadways to test the company's technology, which consists of precast and interlocking concrete slabs embedded with an array of sensors, processors and antennae that the company says can easily be upgraded as technology advances. In the case of a vehicle leaving the roadway, weight sensors in the pavement as well as sensors that track location and speed can alert Integrated Roadways' software that emergency personnel need to be dispatched to the scene.
Before full-scale testing begins on Red Hill Pass, probably this winter, Kozinski said a demonstration of just four of the company's slabs will be conducted this summer on Brighton Blvd. in Denver's RiNo neighborhood to make sure the fundamentals of the technology are sound.
"I want to make sure the pavement operates as intended before I cut a hole in U.S. 285," he said.
The smart pavement would encompass one lane of the highway on the east side of the top of Red Hill Pass, where a switchback set against a stunning view of the high country has made for a dangerous and accident-prone spot for drivers, especially in inclement weather, Kozinski said.
"It's an area of known problems," he said.
Integrated Roadways' long-term goal with its smart pavement is not simply accident detection but a network that provides a collection of real-time services — such as road conditions and traffic alerts — to drivers in conventional cars or passengers riding in autonomous vehicles. Sylvester said the company hopes that its road technology will eventually generate business from trucking companies trying to minimize inefficiencies in fleet mobility, property developers seeking high-resolution traffic data and insurance companies trying to pinpoint accident risk with greater precision.
"The eventual goal is to relieve the burden from the public of paying for road improvements and shift it to commercial enterprises," Sylvester said.
Charles Schwartz, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Maryland, said the cost of rolling out smart pavement on miles and miles of roads in Colorado is the main hurdle to its quick adoption — even if precast concrete panels are cheaper to install than rolling fresh asphalt.
"It's hard to imagine that these things are inexpensive, with all the electronics in them," Schwartz said. "But CDOT is a fairly sophisticated agency, and this is an interesting pilot project. We can learn a lot, even if the test is only partially successful."

For institutions in low-resource areas with limited access to pediatric radiology specialists, a new teleradiology service has proved to be a viable and well-received option.
On Thursday morning, Hansel J. Otero, MD, delivered the results of a retrospective study of a telemedicine network for consultations and second opinions on pediatric imaging studies established by the World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI).
"The WFPI was founded to help address challenges in the global delivery of pediatric imaging services, including a shortage of pediatric radiologists," said Dr. Otero, director of International Pediatric Radiology Education and Outreach at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "In 2014, the WFPI established a secure web-based platform with the help of Collegium Medicus, which makes the commercial system available at no cost for humanitarian purposes."
Dr. Otero led an analysis of all cases referred to the WFPI teleradiology service between October 2014 and October 2018. A total of 668 cases (352 boys, 316 girls) were submitted to the platform over the four-year period.
The majority of cases (548 or 82%) submitted to the platform originated at Lao Friends Hospital for Children in Laos. The remaining 120 cases came from nine additional centers in Asia, Africa and the Americas including Mozambique and South Africa, which submitted 69 (10.3%) and 35 (5.2%) respectively. The median age of patients was 16 months (ranging from one day to 18 years).
Chest X-Ray Reviews Most Frequently Requested
To date, 45 volunteers from around the globe have signed on with WFPI to provide second opinions on a pro bono basis through the teleradiology service. Forty percent of the participating pediatric radiologists are from the U.S., with a handful of physicians from 13 other countries. All volunteer readers are members of the professional pediatric imaging society in their region.
The modality most often used in the referred studies was radiography (559, or 83.7%). The balance of the cases consisted of 78 CTs (11.7%) and 58 US (8.7%). Five MRI cases were also submitted.
The chest was the most common anatomy being studied, accounting for 394 cases (59%). Studies of extremities represented 16.6% of the cases (111 cases), followed by abdomen (76), brain (43), soft tissues (17) and spine (7).
"Many of the chest studies were done to rule out tuberculosis," he said. "TB on a pediatric chest X-ray looks much different from adult X-ray."
Physicians referring cases are automatically sent an email to assess their satisfaction with the teleradiology services. Feedback provided on 94 or 14% of cases was overwhelmingly positive: 90% or more of referrers agreed that the second opinion was:
received sufficiently quickly,
well-adapted for the local environment, and
useful and offered educational benefits.
"This was really positive and encouraging feedback," Dr. Otero said. "The number of volunteers participating is impressive."
Several changes have been made to expedite the reading process, including an automated queue to assign new cases to volunteers and the ability to access the platform through Android phones and tablets.
"We are looking forward to growing the program," he said. "Whenever I talk with radiologists about WFPI, they want to help, especially when they can do so without leaving home."

Remember the long-running ad campaign that said, "Milk. It does a body good,"? One of the reasons milk is so good for you is because it is high in calcium, one of the most essential minerals for the health of your bones and teeth. Calcium also helps support basic metabolic functions and is probably best known for helping prevent osteoporosis.
Calcium deficiency could affect your oral health: Your jawbone anchors your teeth in place and if the strength of the bone is compromised, you might be at a higher risk of tooth loss. In addition, a low-calcium diet can result in gum disease.
Since the body doesn't make calcium, a diet rich in this mineral is the key to maintaining a healthy mouth. Here are 4 foods with high levels of calcium that you can try to integrate into your daily nutrition plan to ensure you're getting enough calcium in your diet.
Plain, low-fat yogurt – While nearly all types of yogurt have calcium, a plain low-fat yogurt will deliver the biggest bang. With 415 mg of calcium per 8 ounce serving, yogurt is one of the best foods to eat for your bone and teeth health.
Mozzarella cheese – Of all the cheeses in all the land, mozzarella cheese has the highest calcium content. Yes, string cheese counts!
Sardines –They may not sound very appetizing, but many sardine eaters say they look worse than they taste. If you chop them up and add to any meal, you will get a dose of calcium and a salty flavor.
Milk – As a child, milk is encouraged and should continue to be a staple in your diet as an adult. A splash with your cereal or a glass with dinner is just enough to reap the calcium benefits.

It was a great day, enjoyed by teachers and our Year 4 students.


The Ontario Catholic school boards are to be commended for at least attempting to address the serious problems of homophobia and bullying. However, their recently announced measures, which will allow Gay-Straight Alliances to exist, but only on condition that these groups remain subservient to Catholic doctrine and do not use the word "Gay" in their title, nor mention or "advocate" homosexuality itself, is likely to be counter-productive.
Homophobia can only be worsened by an attitude that deems homosexuality literally unmentionable, and the word "gay" literally unspeakable.
This issue highlights a more fundamental problem with the Ontario public school system. While the Catholic Church has every right to try and propagate its views, it is unfair and discriminatory to provide it with a publicly funded school system to help it in this endeavour, while denying the same privilege to any other religious group.
However, to provide a similar system for every religious denomination is obviously impractical. The only feasible solution is to eliminate the Catholic school system, and establish a single secular school system.
