The five best cities to be a chicken
<html>File photo by Erika Schultz/The Seattle Times Remember when we told you to avoid keeping backyard chickens? Sounds like some of you disagreed. Seattle landed on Redfin s , a list the online real estate brokerage drew up by analyzing home listings over the past three months that included chicken enclosures as a feature.
we mean,Analysts question Microsoft app plans, silent on re, Portland was number one, followed by three California cities (Ventura,[1], San Diego, and Sacramento) and then Seattle.
Contrary to assumptions, urban chicken owners don t necessarily own large plots, according to Redfin. (O)n average, listings with chicken coops have smaller homes and smaller lots, but larger price tags. It appears some buyers are willing to pay a little more for a home with a henhouse. Along with the Redfin survey comes stupid foodies and hipsters who can t cope for large numbers of abandoned urban chickens. Take away the gibes and it s mostly a reminder of . The usual don t-take-this-as-scientific-proof-survey-caveats: Redfin s analysis only looked at markets it covers nationwide, so it s not all-inclusive. The numbers weren t calculated per capita,Nike Browns 3 Weeden white Game Jerseys, which makes it all the more impressive that Ventura, , did so well against Seattle, which is nearly six times the size. Keeping all that in mind, we asked the Redfin folks what the worst place would be to be a chicken. The surprising answer by their metrics was San Jose,[2], which is to be chicken friendly. Other low scorers were Las Vegas, Boston, and Miami. From the chicken s perspective,2012 Nike Bengals 14 DALTON Black Jerseys, I wonder if the best place to be a chicken might be Austin, TX that s .</html>
Hernandez, Iwakuma both make American League All
<html>Felix Hernandez in front of Michael Pineda at 2011 All-Star game in Phoenix. Photo by Getty Images CLARIFICATION: I was wrong when I said Iwakuma couldn t pitch in the All-Star Game if he pitched the Sunday before. According to the Sunday Pitcher Rule put into last collective bargaining agreement, it is the pitcher s choice,New Kids on the Block charm faithful fans, but he can t work more than one inning. Here is the rule: ii) Sunday Pitcher Rule. Any starting pitcher elected or selected to the All-Star team who makes a start on the Sunday immediately preceding the All-Star Game (“Sunday Pitcher”) shall have the option to participate or not participate in the All-Star Game. If such starting pitcher elects to participate in the All-Star Game, he will not be permitted to pitch for more than one inning, and he may also inform his manager that he should be removed from the game if he reaches a certain pitch count (irrespective of whether he has completed one inning), provided such pitch count is reasonable. If a Sunday Pitcher who was originally named to the team elects not to participate in the All-Star Game, he will be replaced on the roster but treated in the same manner as other All-Stars who are excused from participation, and he will be encouraged to attend and be announced at the All-Star Game. The Mariners this season have had the rare benefit of dual aces, and now they’ve both been rewarded with All-Star berths. Felix Hernandez was named to the American League squad for the fourth time in six years (one of the omissions, interestingly, coming in his Cy Young 2010 season), while Hisashi Iwakuma is a first-time selection. Both were among the eight pitchers chosen for the squad in a vote of American League players. The Mariners haven’t had multiple pitchers on the All-Star team since 2011, when Hernandez, rookie Michael Pineda and reliever Brandon League all made it. Iwakuma is the third Mariners’ pitcher from Japan to make the team, following relievers Kaz Sasaki (2001,Got visitors- Want a getaway- Get a Washington tourism guide,Giants 30 Orlando Cepeda grey Jerseys, 2002) and Shigetoshi Hasegawa (2003).

If that happens, MLB rules dictate he may opt to be replaced on the American League roster, or be limited to one inning.? Iwakuma would still attend the game at New York’s Citi Field and go through all the festivities and be introduced with the team. Iwakuma has the lowest ERA in the American League (2.60),New York Knicks 17 LIN green Jerseys, followed by Hernandez at No. 2 (2.69). Iwakuma also has the lowest WHIP in the AL (0.88) to go with a 7-4 record. Hernandez is 8-4 and ranks fourth in the AL with 130 strikeouts. Iwakuma s chances seemed to have dimmed with a stretch of four starts in which he went 0-3 with a 5.54 ERA to raise his ERA from 1.79, but his body of work over 18 starts prevailed.</html>
Kasey Keller to fill in as goalkeeper coach for the USMNT in
<html>Sounders FC broadcaster Kasey Keller was serving as an assistant goalkeeper coach to Tommy Dutra in Tuesday s practice. Keller, a goalkeeping legend in American soccer, had a reason behind it he s going to serve as goalkeeper coach for the U.S. men s national team starting in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals. USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann called in the favor after goalkeeping coach Chris Woods left the national team for Manchester United. Keller talked about the news after practice,State office can investigate suspiciously high tow fees Hawaii News, Honolulu, H, and here is a transcript:
- ???? *???? *
(What led to you doing some work here as a goalkeeper coach?) For me it was a little favor, just because Klinsmann asked me if I could come in and (coach the goalkeepers) for the quarterfinals through the finals of the Gold Cup. I needed to kick a few balls before I did that so my leg didn t fall off when I got in there. But it s cool. They let me come out and help Tommy out for a few days, hopefully get in a little bit of shape for when I go out to serve with the national team. (What does the opportunity mean for you?) It s nice. It s nice to be asked. The club was very accommodating. I have to miss a couple of games obviously and they thought it was cool. So it s a little tricky timing-wise, and I hate having to miss games with the Sounders, but the national team is the national team, and that s kind of the way the club felt. I said, It s up to you guys. I m happy whatever. If you don t want me to do it, I m happy not to do it, because obviously I have a commitment that I ve made. But it worked out for everybody, so it s nice. Like I said, I spent a lot of time with the national team and it s nice to kind of give back a little bit.
(Do you have much of an existing relationship with Klinsmann?) Yeah, we ve known each other for years. Not a super close relationship,Chicago Bears Sideline Legend Authentic Logo T-Shirt Black, but we ve certainly known each other. Obviously I see him a lot when I m broadcasting with ESPN, and it was just something that s it s a little tricky situation with Chris Woods as the goalkeeping coach and now at Man. U. Sometimes in these circumstances Jurgen needs a little bit of help, and like I said, it s an honor to be asked. (Do you hope this turns into a more permanent gig?) No, not really. It s what it is. Like I said, I was happy to help out Tab with the under-20s,Dragons split two against Bowling Green_0, and for example, with the under-20s, you don��t miss a game. For the full national team it s a little bit different ball game. It s a little interesting on that side of it. It s nice being involved with the national team programs when it works, and this is just one of those situations that we re making it work, put it that way. (So the coaching itch isn t growing?) I mean, like I said, I enjoy coaching. I enjoy helping it out,Game thread- Mariners 10, Red Sox 4; bottom of 8th, but right now I m very happy with my broadcasting and I ve got a couple years left on that contract. I m happy to keep pursuing that. (When was the last time you kicked a ball?) It was with the under-20s, and so that was I don t know how long ago now 10 weeks ago. Before that it was probably six months before that. I m not worried about the ability. I m just worried about fatigue and after three, four days my leg falling off. So I want to just get a little bit of work it and make sure that I m able to perform for the guys on the national team. (Was Hahnemann heckling you?) Marcus, he can t even stay fit. Did I ever get injured when I was here? And I m older than he is. (Did you get hit in the head a few times?) Once or twice, but I m all right. (And you ll be staying how long again?) Quarterfinals through the final or whenever they get knocked out, so hopefully (through) the final. (What it like coaching your former teammates and replacement?) It s nice. It was fun to come back out and be back a part of the team a little bit. But like I said, just a couple days. It s always nice to be out. I ve been close to everybody still through the broadcasting ties and seeing everybody. Little bit different, but still fun as long as they don t make me put any gloves on. (So you didn t get the itch to come out of retirement?) Absolutely not. To kick a ball? Yeah, I hope so. If I forgot how to kick a ball,Washington Capitals Youth Customized Red Jersey, I m in a lot of trouble. But no moment to say I need to go out there and be diving around at all. (So if the injuries start to pile up ) No, hopefully they have a lot better options. (Shut down the Brett Favre talk?) Yeah, shut it down. Stop printing the jerseys.</html>
Analysts question Microsoft app plans, silent on re
<html>SAN FRANCISCO _ Nobody mentioned the elephants in the room at Microsoft s subdued meeting with financial analysts today. Perhaps the 30 or so analysts didn t want to rock the boat now that Microsoft stock has finally perked back up, rising 26 percent so far this year. But during the analyst meeting held during its Build developer conference, nobody brought up who may be hoping to shake-up Microsoft s board of directors and perhaps spin off the Bing or Xbox groups. Nor did anyone mention of the company s leadership, which could lead to changes in how the company reports earnings for different business units. Instead, analysts peppered Steven Guggs Guggenheimer, vice president of the company s developer and evangelism group, with questions mostly?about how the company can attract more developers and better compete against Apple and Google on mobile devices. After a somewhat cool initial reception, Windows 8 is warming up with developers, Guggenheimer told the analysts. He said they ve?gone from lean back to lean in conversation about developing apps for Microsoft s platform.
Right now it��s a lean-in conversation, he said. The conversation��s gone from if to when and in some cases how.��
Microsoft s?annual financial analyst meeting referred to as FAM used to be a gala event on?the Redmond?campus that ended with cocktails and analysts crowding around Ballmer, Bill Gates and other top executives. In recent years it morphed into low-key receptions held concurrent with big Microsoft conference. This year, FAM?was an unpublicized,?hour-long session in a windowless room in the basement of Moscone Center, with Guggenheimer sitting akimbo on stage with his lieutenant, Microsoft Technical Fellow John Shewchuk. Here s a heavily edited selection from the exchange:
Q: Apple��s iOS and Google��s Android have huge momentum. What strengths does Microsoft have and how is it advancing? Guggs: Microsoft addresses this question with app developers in several ways. ��People care about the number of devices, or have confidence you��re going to be shipping more devices �� hundreds of millions of PCs will ship this year and sometimes we lose track of that,�� he said. Microsoft also pitches its ��common core.�� Windows Phones and PCs have a common core that makes it easier to develop apps for both platforms ��it��s not exactly the same �� but you have a good starting point,�� he said. The platform is richer, with common user experiences on phones, tablets and PCs; a variety of interfaces and Windows 8 features such as the ��charm�� controls for search and sharing. Apple��s iOS ��doesn��t bridge experience across phone, tablet and their PC �C Android doesn��t really have a PC,�� he said. Microsoft also offers more flexibility in its commerce platform, with a sliding scale for sharing app store revenue, for instance, and improvements in app store merchandising that were highlighted during the morning keynote. Q: What is Microsoft doing to encourage enterprises to build business apps? Is it taking advantage of its strength in enterprise computing? Guggs: Big companies don��t necessarily want to turn their internal programs into apps. ��Very few companies who have a decent amount of code or apps �C they don��t want to throw it out and replace it,�� he said. Microsoft is offering them ways to develop programs that run online in the cloud, or span internal and cloud infrastructure or move back and forth, he noted. The company is now ��tuning�� its enterprise sales to press harder on services and apps,Canucks 33 H.Sedin blue kids Jerseys, in addition to traditional business products. ��We��ll tune that up big time.�� Q: What incentive is there for developers to write for new Windows 8 interface,Independent voters group challeges Democrats' closed primary, when they have apps that work in old interface? Guggs: ��That new UI is a great user experience, especially with touch �� To be fair, it goes app by and app and it depends on what they��re trying to do.�� Still, Windows 8 is far off for many big companies that are still moving to Windows 7. ��The number one conversation we have today truthfully is, if you have a lot of XP apps,Chargers 17 Rivers blue team women Jerseys, let��s get them to 7 apps,�� he said. ��We sort of have that ��let��s get to the right point�� conversation.�� Q: ?Windows 8 enables developers to write apps in JavaScript or HTML. How many apps are built solely with those technologies? Guggs: ?��A lot of apps are mixes.�� Q: ?What are companies deploying on Microsoft��s cloud infrastructure? Guggs:? A lot of deployments in the crowd generally are apps being moved to virtual machines online,Ke Kānāwai Māmalahoe_0, which is different than developing cloud apps. Amazon has done this hosting of virtual machines longer and has the lead, he noted. ��Our offering��s off to a great start.�� Q: Why is Microsoft��s platform more consistent for developers than Android? Guggs: We have a set of requirements for PC developers, and stricter requirements for Windows Phone developers. ��Windows has enough ��guard rails�� that you get a decent amount of predictability.�� Q: How easy will it be to migrate apps across Windows phones, PCs and the Xbox? Shewchuk:? In some apps Microsoft sees 80 percent of the code being re-used across the platforms. ��It��s a journey; we make forward progress on this.�� Q: Apple and Android have tremendous momentum and networking effects in their favor. How does Microsoft compete? Guggs: Microsoft gets momentum from the hardware platform �C ��there��s 300 million PCs that are going to ship one way or the other.�� Microsoft is also ��bootstrapping�� development on the platform. It��s also working with phone carriers and partners like Nokia. Q: ?Has Microsoft considered giving a bigger share of app revenue to developers? Guggs: That��s possible but a better approach may be to continue working to get more apps in the store,Poll- What do you think of the Huskies’ new gold chrome helmets-_0, merchandise them better and then promote them. ?��I actually think that��s more useful than giving back 5 percent or something else.�� Q: What��s the future of Windows RT �C it doesn��t seem to have a lot of momentum. Guggs: ��There is momentum,�� and Microsoft will continue to invest in the RT version of Windows for mobile ARM processors as well as Intel hardware.? PC makers ��really want both chipsets.�� ��I would say give it some time �C we��re invested in it, you��ll see some new designs�� Q: Where is money being made with Windows 8 apps? Guggs: Monetization is similar to other platforms, with games making the most money. Q: It��s hard to believe Windows Phone will get to critical mass. Can you be successful if you don��t have 15 or 20 percent share? What if you can��t? Guggs: ��We don��t tend to be a ��can��t�� company, we tend to be a ��keep going at it�� (company).</html>

Emergency ordinance placed on ballot
<html><head><title>html模版</title></head><body>Emergency ordinance placed on ballot
6/30/2013 10:08:00 AMEmergency ordinance placed on ballotSpecial CorrespondentXENIA An emergency ordinance to place electric aggregation on the November ballot was approved at the Xenia City Council meeting on June 27.Assistant City Manager Brent Merriman recommended to the city council to approve the ordinance to be placed on the November ballot.If the community votes to approve the ordinance in November, this would allow the city, on behalf of the entire community, to negotiate with an electric generation provider to provide a community-wide rate for all residents. Generally, this type of arrangement secures a much better rate than for individual households, Merriman said.Everybody in the community would be included in the arrangement. Individuals,Benjamin Moore Paint turns competition local, though, could also opt out of it and select a provider of their choice.Merriman thinks the broader business deal will allow the one electric provider to offer a better rate. It should be a good thing. It should save the city money, it should save the taxpayers the residents money. This one-for-all energy provider concept has become popular in recent years,MLB Caps-002, including with many of the communities in the area, Merriman explained.Councilman Joshua Long stated,[3], It s a decision the people need to make. Ultimately,Orioles 10 jones Gray Jerseys, it s up to the voters. This issue was also previously discussed in 2005,Phoenix Coyotes reach arena deal in Glendale_0, but with significantly less discussion, and without any public advertising. Several council members stressed the importance of educating the public on the matter this time around.Merriman plans to provide education material to residents at council meetings and special work sessions.

Russell Wilson hosts passing academy in Seattle
<html>Russell Wilson began the final leg of the Russell Wilson Passing Academy football camp for young players on Saturday at the University of Washington. About 300 campers formed a line early Saturday morning, many wearing Russell Wilson jerseys. I ve covered a lot of these camps put on by college or professional athletes before,Men's Pro Line Baltimore Ravens 5# Joe Flacco Super Bowl XLVII Champions Jersey, and I have to say that Wilson s was one of the smoothest run that I ve been to. As one parent said at the end of the day, Would you expect any different from him? Wilson was heavily involved throughout the day, bouncing between each of the different stations and conducting the quarterback session with Warren Moon. How about that for a combo to learn from,[4], even if only for 20 or 30 minutes? I ll get into this more down the road,What really killed the Egyptian-_0, but it s amazing to me the way people react to Wilson. The simple act of getting their picture taken with him or getting his signature legitimately seemed to make some peoples days. I could be making too much of that, but that s the way it seemed to me, and I watched him sign and take a lot of pictures over the course of five hours or so. Wilson was joined by, among others, Sidney Rice, Sean McGrath,Phillies 20 Mike Schmidt white Jerseys, Winston Guy and Robert Turbin. Here s what Wilson had to say about the camp, and he said these things surrounded by a bunch of campers, who came up to him right before his interview for an autograph and who ended up getting in the nightly news:
This is my joy, man, Wilson said. Being able to coach football is something that I love to do. Just being around it all the time. People always tell me to take a break, but when you love something it s hard to take a break from it It puts a huge smile on my face. To be able to host my own passing academy for kids, my buddy Scott Pickett, he s my chief business officer for the camp,Allegiant Air to offer L.A., me and him have been thinking about this since 10th grade, 11th grade. It s just really important to be here with these kids.
Wilson also held the camp in Virginia (where he grew up), Wisconsin (where he played for the Badgers), North Carolina (where he played for N.C. State) and in Spokane earlier in the week. The camp will wrap up its first year with a final session in Seattle on Sunday.</html>
Licensing office closes early so workers have time to tally
<html>Question: Why aren't all the satellite city halls operated the same way? My 79-year-old mother went to the Wahiawa satellite to renew her state ID on Wednesday,Pittsburgh Pirates Caps-002,Sounders FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps, preview and prediction, March 20. After standing in line for about five hours, she and four other seniors had the door shut in their faces at 4 p.m. and told to return the next day. You can imagine the frustration and anger. There was only one line to renew both IDs and driver's licenses, unlike other city halls that have separate lines. Also, numbers should have been provided so those returning the next day could be serviced first and avoid having to stand in a long line again.
Answer: First,[5], your mother must have been at the Wahiawa driver's licensing station,State law requires review of property over 50 years old Hawaii News, Honolulu, H,Ravens 84 Houshmandzadeh black Jerseys, because the nearby Wahiawa satellite city hall does not handle any licensing or state ID transactions.Login for more...</html>
