Hopes to see Hispanic presence in Enumclaw parade | Letter

In response to the (July 24) letter to the editor pertaining to the Fourth of July parade: I am with you all the way about having Hispanics in the parade.

The person who said ?they should not be there, it?s our independence?: where is this person?s heritage? The Hispanic people have just as much right to be in our Independence Day parade. This town was settled and built by Swedish, Scandinavians and more from other countries. Go help someone in need, do something nice for someone, no matter where they are from; every day do a random act of kindness.

So, yes to the Hispanics with their beautiful horses and their homeland apparel which is radiant. Bring back the Hispanics and their culture.

5 spectators hurt during power plant implosion

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) ? Five spectators were injured Saturday after shrapnel was sent flying at the demolition of a decommissioned steam power plant in California's Central Valley, authorities said.

More than 1,000 people had gathered at 6 a.m. in a nearby parking lot to watch the planned implosion at the plant owned by Pacific Gas and Electric in Bakersfield. After structures on the property came crashing down, a police officer at the scene heard a man screaming for help and saw his leg had been severed, police said.

"It was a piece of shrapnel that came flying out of the explosion and came across and went through a couple of chain link fences, struck him and impacted into a vehicle," said Lt. Scott Tunnicliffe.

The 44-year-old victim might lose his other leg as well due to his injuries, Tunnicliffe said.

Four other spectators were treated for minor injuries, said Kern County Fire engineer Leland Davis. All of the injured spectators were standing beyond a perimeter set up to ensure public safety, Davis said.

Residents of the city about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles were eager to see the old plant torn down to make way for new development. The plant was decommissioned in 1986 and has been idle ever since.

Pacific Gas and Electric reached an agreement with the city to clean up the property and prepare it for sale. The company hired subcontractors to handle the demolition of the plant's boiler structures and worked with local authorities to set up a safe perimeter 1,000 feet from the site, said Denny Boyles, a company spokesman.

"We are deeply saddened that this happened," Boyles said. "We're looking for answers like everyone else."

Boyles said the boiler structure consisted of two towers measuring 140 feet high that supported four 200,000 gallon tanks.

The incident was first reported by the Bakersfield Californian.

Leaked photos: Samsung's Galaxy S4 Mini is headed to Verizon

Leaked photos show Samsung's Galaxy S4 Mini heading to Verizon

Here is it: the Galaxy S4 Mini... for Verizon? As of now, Samsung's smaller Galaxy S4 sibling is an international-only device; in other words, no US carriers have officially signed on to offer it. That said, a Samsung SCH-i435 recently made its way into the Bluetooth SIG's website, and those who follow VZW's classifications of Samsung products are all-too-familiar with the "SCH" prefix. Of course, a handful of leaked photos can't confirm a release date nor a price, but if it's already popping up with that label on the rear, surely the wait won't be much longer. Hop on past the break for a side-by-side shot with an iPhone 5.

[Thanks, Anonymous]

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Post Human (NSFW)

Nothing like a bit of the old ultraviolence to jump start a lethargic weekend. Equal parts Aeon Flux and Ghost in the Shell, this awesome animated short stars Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica fame as she and a crack crew of infiltrators attempt a daring hostage rescue against an evil military-industrial complex. Be warned when I say "ultraviolence," we're talking dudes getting turned inside out and then exploding like meaty water balloons. Enjoy!

Military To No Longer Sell Playboy, Penthouse; War OK, Naked Women Not

By Alan with comments August 1, 2013 15:48

They can handle bullets, but not breasts.

Playboy, Penthouse and other adult magazines will no longer be on the shelves at Army and Air Force exchanges ? a move based on falling sales rather than the result of pressure from anti-pornography activists.

Yeah, right.

The 48 ?adult sophisticate? magazines being dropped are among a total of 891 periodicals that will no longer be offered by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. Other titles getting the ax include English Garden, SpongeBob Comics, the New York Review of Books and the Saturday Evening Post.

Just last month, Frederick Vollrath, assistant secretary of defense for readiness and force management, reportedly responded to a complaint from Morality in Media in a July 22 letter by saying that a review board had scrutinized those magazines and determined that ?based on the totality of each magazine?s content, they were not sexually explicit under [federal law].?

The group ?Morality in Media,? which complained last month about these magazines being sold to the military has declared this ?a great victory.?

(AP) ? President Barack Obama is meeting with lawmakers to discuss surveillance programs run by the National Security Agency.

The private Oval Office meeting is to discuss concerns about privacy.

Obama's national security team is trying to keep its surveillance powers intact while acknowledging some limitations appear inevitable. The White House says Obama wants to hear from Congress directly, including from critics.

The bipartisan meeting comes after Russian authorities granted temporary asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

The chairmen and ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees were also attending. They issued a joint statement saying they've reviewed the programs in question and believe they are legal and contribute substantially to counterterrorism. They say their committees are developing ideas to reassure Americans and improve transparency and privacy protections.
