Hicklin Road", the road stops paralleling the railroad and continues northeast into Mason County. In Stimson, the railroad starts to parallel the highway, but after that, the railroad curves back, and stops paralleling SR 108. North of Forbes, the highway crosses the railroad and then enters Kamilche, where the road ends at an interchange with US 101.
# History.
When the Primary and Secondary Highways were formed in 1937, the current SR 108 became Secondary State Highway 9D (SSH 9D). SSH 9D became SR 108 in 1964 during the 1964 highway renumbering, in which the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) replaced the previous system of Primary and Secondary Highways with a new system | 25,600 |
1600391 | Washington State Route 108 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%20108 | Washington State Route 108
called State Routes, which is still in use today.
Originally, a 1.25 mile northern bypass of McCleary, extending northeast from the existing SR 108 Elma McCleary Rd Intersection to the SR 108 Summit Road Intersection was proposed during construction of Secondary State Highway 9D. This route would have been a limited access, full control 2-lane highway. However, beyond establishing a roadway centerline, no further action by WSDOT has been taken to complete this bypass.
In early 2017, the intersection of SR 8 and SR 108 was temporarily closed for two years while a major $14 Million fish passage barrier replacement project on SR 8 is completed, which will install 4 new bridges over the Middle | 25,601 |

route would have been a limited access, full control 2-lane highway. However, beyond establishing a roadway centerline, no further action by WSDOT has been taken to complete this bypass.
In early 2017, the intersection of SR 8 and SR 108 was temporarily closed for two years while a major $14 Million fish passage barrier replacement project on SR 8 is completed, which will install 4 new bridges over the Middle and East Fork's of Wildcat Creek. During the closure, drivers are being detoured down 3rd Street to the SR 8 / Mox Chehalis Rd Interchange just south of McCleary. The SR 8 / SR 108 intersection is expected to be open again in mid 2019.

South Creek (New South Wales)
The South Creek or Wianamatta, a creek that is part of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment, is located on the Cumberland Plain, also referred to as Greater Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
# Course and features.
The creek rises in Sydney's south western suburbs below the former Oran Park Raceway about north-east of Narellan and west of Minto. In its upper catchment, the creek forms the boundary between the suburbs of Oran Park and Catherine Field. The creek flows generally north, joined by seventeen tributaries including Badgerys Creek, Kemps Creek, Ropes Creek and Eastern Creek, until reaching its confluence with the Hawkesbury River, near Windsor. The | 25,617 |
1600378 | South Creek (New South Wales) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Creek%20(New%20South%20Wales) | South Creek (New South Wales)
creek descends over its course.
From source to mouth, the creek flows through or forms the boundary of the suburbs of Bringelly, Rossmore, Badgerys Creek, Kemps Creek, Claremont Meadows, Orchard Hills, Werrington, St Marys, Werrington County, Dunheved, Llandilo, Shanes Park, Berkshire Park, Windsor Downs, Riverstone, Vineyard, Mulgrave, Windsor, McGraths Hill and Pitt Town Bottoms.
## Tributaries.
The South Creek or "Wianamatta" is joined by Lowes Creek and Rileys Creek at Bringelly; by Thompsons Creek at Rossmore; by Badgerys Creek and by Kemps Creek at the suburb of Badgerys Creek; by Cosgrove Creek at Luddenham; by Blaxland Creek at Orchard Hills; by Byrnes Creek at St Marys; by Claremont | 25,618 |

# Etymology.
"Wianamatta" is an Aboriginal word of the Dharug language, meaning 'mother place'. Evidence of early Aboriginal people has been found in several locations within the Blacktown Local government area. Shell middens from the Darug people have been found near the sewage treatment plant on Breakfast Creek and South Creek.
South Creek was dual-named as "Wianamatta" on 28 March 2003 by the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales | 25,619 |
1600378 | South Creek (New South Wales) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South%20Creek%20(New%20South%20Wales) | South Creek (New South Wales)
(GNB).
It was dual-named after a submission that the name be changed. However, a lengthy investigation followed, and after consultation with local Aboriginal Land Councils it was decided after extensive workshops carried by the GNB, that instead, a dual-naming proposal should be pursued instead. Following that decision, the GNB carried out an extensive consultation throughout the entire state of NSW, contacting all Aboriginal land councils on record as well as placing entries in every prominent and regional newspaper explaining the proposal and inviting comments.

# Township.
A township of South Creek used to exist near St Marys. The name only existed for a few years in the early settlement of New South Wales and now it is part of St Marys/Dunheved. One of its pioneer settlers was Thomas Jamison (1753–1811) who arrived with the First Fleet and became Surgeon-General of New South Wales in 1801. Jamisontown in the Penrith area is also named after him (http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/jamison-thomas-2269).

1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
Lothario
Lothario is a male given name which came to suggest an unscrupulous seducer of women in "The Impertinent Curious Man", a story within a story in Miguel de Cervantes' 1605 novel "Don Quixote".
# "The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious".
"Don Quixote, Part One" contains stories that do not directly involve the two main characters, but which are narrated by some of the picaresque figures encountered by Quixote and Sancho during their travels. The longest and best known story is "El Curioso Impertinente" ("The Impertinently Curious Man"), in Part One, Book Four, chapters 33–35, which is read to a group of travellers at an inn, about a Florentine nobleman, Anselmo, who becomes obsessed with | 25,622 |
1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
testing his wife's fidelity, and talks his close friend Lothario into attempting to seduce her. In "Part Two", the author acknowledges the criticism of his digressions in "Part One" and promises to concentrate the narrative on the central characters (although at one point he laments that his narrative muse has been constrained in this manner).
## "El Curioso Impertinente" summary.
For no particular reason, Anselmo decides to test the fidelity of his wife, Camilla, and asks his friend, Lothario, to seduce her. Thinking that to be madness, Lothario reluctantly agrees, and soon reports to Anselmo that Camilla is a faithful wife. Anselmo learns that Lothario has lied and attempted no seduction. | 25,623 |
1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
He makes Lothario promise to try in earnest and leaves town to make this easier. Lothario tries and Camilla writes letters to her husband telling him and asking him to return; Anselmo makes no reply and does not return. Lothario actually falls in love and Camilla eventually reciprocates and their affair continues once Anselmo returns.
One day, Lothario sees a man leaving Camilla's house and jealously presumes she has found another lover. He tells Anselmo he has at last been successful and arranges a time and place for Anselmo to see the seduction. Before this rendezvous, Lothario learns that the man was actually the lover of Camilla's maid. He and Camilla contrive to deceive Anselmo further: | 25,624 |
1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
when Anselmo watches them, she refuses Lothario, protests her love for her husband, and stabs herself lightly in the breast. With Anselmo reassured of her fidelity, the affair restarts with him none the wiser.
The maid's lover is discovered by Anselmo. Fearing that Anselmo will kill her, the maid says she will tell him a secret the next day. Anselmo tells Camilla that this is to happen, and Camilla expects that her affair is to be revealed. Lothario and Camilla flee that night, and the maid flees the next day. Anselmo searches for them in vain before learning from a stranger of his wife's affair. He starts to write the story but dies of grief before he can finish.
# Adaptations.
Lothario | 25,625 |
1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
is a character in Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1795-96) and also in the play "The Fair Penitent" (1703), by Nicholas Rowe, based on the earlier 17th-century play, "The Fatal Dowry" (which itself drew on Cervantes). In Rowe's play, Lothario is a libertine who seduces and betrays Calista; and its success is arguably the source for the proverbial nature of his name in subsequent English culture—as when Anthony Trollope wrote a century later of "the elegant fluency of a practised Lothario".
An allusion is made to Lothario in William Faulkner's "Absalom, Absalom!" when referring to Charles Bon, the proclaimed ladies-man and woman-seducer who is about to marry a woman while already | 25,626 |
1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
being married.
In the opera "Mignon" by Ambroise Thomas, Lothario is the elderly father of the heroine and in no way a seducer.
The Bart Howard song, famously performed by Frank Sinatra, "Man in the Looking Glass" contains these lines: "Where's our young Romeo, the lad who used to sigh? / Who's the middle-aged Lothario with a twinkle in his eye?"; and Lorenz Hart achieves a typically smart yet wistful and poignant triple-rhyme on the name in "Where's That Rainbow?" The middle eight bars run: "In each scenario/ You can depend on the end where the lovers agree/ Where's that Lothario?/ Where does he roam with his dome Vaselined as can be?" In the song "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan," by | 25,627 |
1600423 | Lothario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lothario | Lothario
Where's that Lothario?/ Where does he roam with his dome Vaselined as can be?" In the song "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan," by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz, the singer laments, "My boiling point is far too low/For me to try to be a fly Lothario." The song “Who’s That Woman” in Stephen Sondheim’s ‘’Follies’’, contains the lines: “Who’s been riding for a fall?/Whose Lothario let her down?”
Corley is referred to as a "Lothario" in the short story "Two Gallants" by James Joyce.
Lothario is mentioned in passing in the second chapter of Colson Whitehead's memoir "The Noble Hustle".

The route connects Elma and Olympia as part of a corridor between Aberdeen and the Puget Sound region.
The highway was part of the Elma – Grand Mound branch of Primary State Highway 9 (PSH 9 EG) from 1937 until 1964, which ran from Elma southeast to Interstate 5 (I-5), formerly US 99 in Grand Mound, which was later added as part of US 12 in 1967. The road also forms the northern | 25,629 |

# Route description.
SR 8 runs east from US 12 in Elma to an interchange with US 101 northwest of Olympia. The route links the city of Elma with Olympia, and intersects only one other highway, SR 108, in McCleary. WSDOT has found that more than 17,000 motorists utilize the road daily at the interchange with US 101 based on average annual daily traffic (AADT) data.
SR 8 starts at an interchange with US 12 near downtown Elma. From the interchange, the expressway goes northeast and starts to parallel the Chehalis River. After crossing the river twice, the highway intersects SR 108, which goes northeast towards Kamilche, west of McCleary. After | 25,630 |
1600398 | Washington State Route 8 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%208 | Washington State Route 8
passing Downtown McCleary, SR 8 has a partial cloverleaf interchange with Mox Chehalis Road. From the interchange, the expressway goes east to form the northern boundary of the Capitol State Forest, and passes Summit Lake. From Summit Lake, the highway turns northeast and merges with US 101 southbound.
The entire length of SR 8 is expressway. When combined with US 12 to the west and US 101 to the east, it serves as the primary connection between the Puget Sound region and Washington's Pacific coast.
# History.
Before the Primary and Secondary system, SR 8 in 1923 was part of a branch of State Road 9, from Elma to Grand Mound. Later, in 1937, the route from Elma to Grand Mound became part | 25,631 |
1600398 | Washington State Route 8 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%208 | Washington State Route 8
of Elma – Grand Mound branch of Primary State Highway 9 (PSH 9 EG). PSH 9 EG became SR 8 in 1964 during the 1964 highway renumbering, in which the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) replaced the previous system of Primary and Secondary Highways with a new system called State Routes, which is still in use today.
Later in 1967, US 12 was extended from Lewiston, Idaho westward to Aberdeen. It was approved on June 20, 1967, and it replaced the route of US 410, therefore making the highway obsolete. Since US 12 used the all-weather White Pass and SR 8 from Elma to Grand Mound, and US 410 used Chinook Pass, which was closed during the winter, US 12 bypassed US 410 and what is now | 25,632 |
1600398 | Washington State Route 8 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%208 | Washington State Route 8
SR 8. Signs were changed in late December 1967, and the bypassed segments of US 410 became a new SR 8.
On June 9, 2007, a tanker fire occurred on SR 8 when a tanker truck with 10,000 gallons of fuel collided with another vehicle and started a fire. The fire caused SR 8 to close for a couple of hours except for the westbound left lane, which crews used to get oil out of the soil underneath the highway. During the Winter 2007 storm, a slope that held up SR 8 was eroded by floodwaters. The slope, located on SR 8 west of the US 101 interchange, and is scheduled to begin this season and last 2 months. In 2010, WSDOT aims to rebuild the columns that support the SR 8/US 101 interchange and reduce | 25,633 |

h the highway. During the Winter 2007 storm, a slope that held up SR 8 was eroded by floodwaters. The slope, located on SR 8 west of the US 101 interchange, and is scheduled to begin this season and last 2 months. In 2010, WSDOT aims to rebuild the columns that support the SR 8/US 101 interchange and reduce the risk of failure in an earthquake, such as the 2001 Nisqually earthquake.

The News Tribune
The News Tribune is a daily newspaper in Tacoma, Washington, in the United States.
# History.
The newspaper can trace its origins back to the founding of the weekly "Tacoma Ledger" by R.F. Radebaugh in 1880. The next year, H.C. Patrick founded "The News", another weekly. Both papers became dailies in 1883. In 1898, Radebaugh and Patrick sold their papers to S.A. Perkins. Radebaugh re-entered the market in 1907 with the debut of the "Tacoma Tribune". He exited five years later with the sale of the "Tribune" to Frank S. and Elbert H. Baker. The Bakers then purchased "The News" and the "Tacoma Ledger" in 1918, and all three papers were combined into the "Tacoma News Tribune and | 25,635 |
1600440 | The News Tribune | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20News%20Tribune | The News Tribune
Ledger".
In 1948, the paper began operating the radio stations KTNT-AM and KTNT-FM, and began operating a television station with the same call letters in 1953. In 1972, KTNT-FM's call letters were changed to KNBQ, which became KBSG in 1988, and KIRO-FM in 2008. Two years later, the television station was sold and its call letters changed to KSTW.
In 1979, the newspaper adopted the name "Tacoma News Tribune". Its parent bought the "Pierce County Herald" in 1983. In 1986, the Tribune Publishing Company's newspaper assets were bought by McClatchy Newspapers.
"The News Tribune" published as "The Morning News Tribune" from April 6, 1987, to October 4, 1993, when "Morning" was dropped from its | 25,636 |

Bob McGrath
Robert Emmet McGrath (born June 13, 1932) is an American singer, musician, actor, voice artist, and children's author best known for playing original human character Bob Johnson on the long-running educational television series "Sesame Street".
Along with series matriarch Susan Robinson, played by Loretta Long, Bob had been one of the two longest-lasting human characters on the series since the show's debut. A Noggin segment proclaimed the four decades of Bob when promoting "Sesame Street" on that network. In July 2016, Sesame Workshop announced that McGrath would not return to the show for its 47th season because it would be re-tooling the series, but the company did say that McGrath | 25,638 |
1600435 | Bob McGrath | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob%20McGrath | Bob McGrath
would continue to represent the Workshop at public events. Sesame Workshop later announced that there would be talks to bring him back. Sesame Workshop said that he would still represent Sesame Street.
McGrath has said that his two favorite moments on "Sesame Street" were "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" (a 1978 Christmas special that included a pastiche of "The Gift of the Magi"), and the 1983 sequence that candidly addressed the death of longtime character Mr. Hooper, played by his good friend Will Lee who had died the previous year.
# Early life and career.
McGrath was born in Ottawa, Illinois on June 13, 1932, named for Irish patriot Robert Emmet. In 1950 he graduated from Marquette High | 25,639 |
1600435 | Bob McGrath | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob%20McGrath | Bob McGrath
School. McGrath is a 1954 graduate of the University of Michigan's School of Music. While attending Michigan, he was a member of the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club and of the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, where during fraternity events, he washed dishes while fraternity brother David Connell waited tables, a connection which Connell would use when casting began for "Sesame Street". He worked with Mitch Miller and was the featured tenor on Miller's NBC-TV television singalong series "Sing Along with Mitch And The Gang" for five seasons from 1959 to 1964. He was a singer on the Walt Kelly album "Songs of the Pogo".
In the mid-1960s, McGrath became a well-known recording artist in Japan, | 25,640 |
1600435 | Bob McGrath | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob%20McGrath | Bob McGrath
releasing a series of successful albums of Irish and other folk songs and ballads sung in Japanese. This aspect of his career was the basis of his "secret" when he appeared on the game shows "To Tell the Truth" in 1966 and "I've Got a Secret" (February 20, 1967).
# Other accomplishments.
For 38 years, McGrath was a regular fixture on Telemiracle, a telethon broadcast annually on CTV outlets in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. 2015 was his final regular appearance at Telemiracle, where performers at the show paid tribute to him.

1600438 | Spanish Bombs | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spanish%20Bombs | Spanish Bombs
Spanish Bombs
"Spanish Bombs" is a song by English punk rock band the Clash, with principal vocals by Joe Strummer and additional vocals by Mick Jones. It was written by Strummer and recorded for the band's 1979 album "London Calling".
The song also appears on the Clash compilation albums "The Story of the Clash, Volume 1" (1988) and "Clash on Broadway" (1991). Allmusic's Donald A. Guarisco said that the song's "combination of thoughtful lyrics and an energetic performance" made it a "highlight of "London Calling"".
# Background.
Strummer wrote the song during the recording sessions for "London Calling". He developed the idea for the song while travelling home from Wessex studios in London | 25,644 |
1600438 | Spanish Bombs | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spanish%20Bombs | Spanish Bombs
and listening to a radio news report of ETA terror bombings of tourist hotels on the Costa Brava. It reminded him of the ongoing Provisional Irish Republican Army campaign in the United Kingdom.
# Music and lyrics.
According to "Continente Multicultural" magazine, "Spanish Bombs" is a pop rock song. AllMusic's Donald A. Guarisco described it as a "rousing rocker" with a combination of power chords, quickly-strummed acoustic riffs, and "simple but catchy verses and chorus".
"Spanish Bombs" compares the modern day tourist experience of Spain with the circumstances of the Spanish Civil War, and contrasts the "trenches full of poets" to the planeloads of British tourists visiting the country's | 25,645 |
1600438 | Spanish Bombs | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spanish%20Bombs | Spanish Bombs
beaches in the post-Franco era. Praising the heroism of the civil war republicans, the song alludes to the death of anti-fascist poet Federico García Lorca. Adrien Begrand of PopMatters remarked that Strummer's references to bomb attacks by Basque separatists in the late 1970s "echoes" Lorca and the Spanish Civil War, citing the line "Spanish bombs rock the province / I'm hearing music from another time".
The song utilizes what Adam Mazmanian of "The Washington Times" calls "pidgin Spanish". According to the liner notes accompanying the original 1979 UK vinyl release of "London Calling", the song included the lyric "Yo t'quierro y finito, yo te querda, oh ma côrazon" ("sic"). According to "The | 25,646 |
1600438 | Spanish Bombs | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spanish%20Bombs | Spanish Bombs
A.V. Club", the lyric is in fact, "Yo te quiera [sic] infinito, yo te quiera [sic], oh mi corazón" which they translate as "I want you forever, I want you, oh my heart". However, according to a comment by Strummer himself in the liner notes for the 25th Anniversary Edition of "London Calling", the lyric is "Clash Spannish [sic]", and "means 'I love you and goodbye! I want you but _ oh my aching heart!' induced by those grapes of wrath.[sic]" The song also makes reference to Andalusia, the Spanish region where Strummer's ex-girlfriend Palmolive was born.
"London Calling", remarked author Michael Chabon, is "what we'd now call 'classic rock'. Songs like 'Spanish Bombs' had me wondering what the | 25,647 |
1600438 | Spanish Bombs | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spanish%20Bombs | Spanish Bombs
he lyric is "Clash Spannish [sic]", and "means 'I love you and goodbye! I want you but _ oh my aching heart!' induced by those grapes of wrath.[sic]" The song also makes reference to Andalusia, the Spanish region where Strummer's ex-girlfriend Palmolive was born.
"London Calling", remarked author Michael Chabon, is "what we'd now call 'classic rock'. Songs like 'Spanish Bombs' had me wondering what the song was about, how it related to the Spanish Civil War and why was Joe singing about it?"

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington (or the Archdiocese of Washington) is a particular church of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. It comprises the District of Columbia and Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George's and Saint Mary's counties in the state of Maryland. It was originally part of the Archdiocese of Baltimore
The Archdiocese of Washington is home to The Catholic University of America, the only national university operated by the bishops conference of the United States and Georgetown University, the oldest Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher education in the country.

Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, a minor basilica dedicated to the nation's patroness, the Immaculate Conception, is located within and administered by it, and, although it is not the Archdiocesan cathedral (nor even a parish of the Archdiocese), it is the site of its Easter and Christmas Masses. The cathedral of the archdiocese is the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in downtown Washington.

The first Archbishop of Washington was Michael Joseph Curley in 1939. Eight years later, on November 15, 1947, the archdiocese received its first residential archbishop, with the appointment of Patrick Aloysius O'Boyle. Donald William Cardinal Wuerl served as the most recent ordinary of the Archdiocese. Wuerl resigned as Archbishop of Washington on October 12, 2018 in the wake of revelations about his poor handling of incidents of sex abuse when he served as Bishop of Pittsburgh. However, Wuerl still led the Archdiocese as apostolic administrator until a successor was installed.

position of Archbishop of Washington. On April 4, 2019, his appointment by Pope Francis was confirmed by the Vatican. The same day, the Archdiocese of Washington announced that Archbishop Gregory would indeed be installed as the seventh Archbishop of Washington. Gregory, who was originally scheduled to be installed on May 17, 2019, was installed on May 21, 2019, becoming the first African American to lead the Archdiocese of Washington.
# History.
On March 25, 1634, the first Catholic Mass in the English-speaking colonies was celebrated by Fr. Andrew White, S.J., on St. Clement's Island, Maryland, in what is now part of the Archdiocese of Washington. The Catholic founders of the Maryland settlement | 25,652 |
1600426 | Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roman%20Catholic%20Archdiocese%20of%20Washington | Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington
then established the colony as a place of religious freedom. During the colonial era, however, when others took power, Catholics would become a persecuted people suffering the wrath of oppression allowed by local penal laws.
Upon the founding of the United States, a Jesuit priest, Father John Carroll, was elected head of the missionary territory (later Prefecture Apostolic) of the United States. In 1789 the Diocese of Baltimore (later the Archdiocese of Baltimore) was established with Carroll as its first bishop, and given ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the entire nation.
On July 22, 1939, Pope Pius XII separated the cities of Washington and Baltimore, creating two archdioceses (Baltimore | 25,653 |
1600426 | Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roman%20Catholic%20Archdiocese%20of%20Washington | Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington
and Washington), under the oversight of one archbishop "in persona episcopi". This process of separation was officially concluded on November 15, 1947, with the appointment of Washington's first residential archbishop. The Archdiocese of Washington became a metropolitan see on October 12, 1965, when the Diocese of Saint Thomas became its first (and, so far, only) suffragan see.

a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, WSDOT calculated that the busiest section of the highway was Purdy Drive between the Purdy Bridge and SR 16, serving 26,000 vehicles, while the least busiest section of the highway was in the Allyn-Grapeview area, serving 1,500 vehicles.
# History.
The Purdy Bridge, serving the community of Purdy on the Burley Lagoon, was constructed as a wooden swing bridge in 1892 by Pierce County. The wooden bridge was replaced in 1905 after the timber pilings collapsed and rebuilt in | 25,663 |

1920 to include a steel swing span. The current two-lane hollow box girder span was opened on September 29, 1937 at a cost of $62,000 and became part of SSH 14A during the creation of the primary and secondary state highways. SSH 14A was extended west from Allyn to Belfair in 1955, extending along a route to connect Belfair and Allyn to Purdy. SSH 14A was replaced by SR 3 from Belfair to Allyn and SR 302 from Allyn to SR 16 in Purdy during the 1964 highway renumbering as part of the creation of a new state highway system. SR 16 was moved to a freeway bypass of Purdy in the late 1970s and the old alignment on Purdy Drive was split between SR 302, heading south, and a new spur route, heading north. | 25,664 |
1600424 | Washington State Route 302 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%20302 | Washington State Route 302
The highway was realigned in 1991 onto the Victor Cut-Off Road, which was transferred from the county to the state.
During the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, a 6.2 earthquake that occurred on February 28, 2001, a section of SR 302 between Allyn and the Key Peninsula was damaged and closed. The highway was repaired with federal emergency relief funds and state funding at a cost of $1 million, opening to traffic in 2003 after being replaced by a temporary gravel road. WSDOT is, , planning to widen SR 302 between the Key Peninsula and Purdy and SR 302 Spur within Purdy as part of safety and congestion improvements scheduled to begin construction in spring 2014. A corridor study was conducted by WSDOT | 25,665 |
1600424 | Washington State Route 302 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%20302 | Washington State Route 302
between 2008 and 2012 and proposed that a new highway north of Henderson Bay to bypass Purdy and have a more direct connection with SR 16 be constructed.
# Spur route.
SR 302 Spur, known locally as Purdy Drive, begins its short, route through Purdy at the east end of the Purdy Bridge, which carries SR 302 from Wauna. The highway travels north along Burley Lagoon from Peninsula High School before ending at a semi-directional T interchange with SR 16. WSDOT conducted a series of surveys to measure traffic volume in terms of AADT and calculated that between 1,900 and 11,000 vehicles per day used the spur route in 2011.
The spur route was originally part of a Primary State Highway 14 (PSH 14) | 25,666 |
1600424 | Washington State Route 302 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Washington%20State%20Route%20302 | Washington State Route 302
ong Burley Lagoon from Peninsula High School before ending at a semi-directional T interchange with SR 16. WSDOT conducted a series of surveys to measure traffic volume in terms of AADT and calculated that between 1,900 and 11,000 vehicles per day used the spur route in 2011.
The spur route was originally part of a Primary State Highway 14 (PSH 14) branch connecting Port Orchard to Tacoma that later became SR 16 during the 1964 highway renumbering. SR 16 was moved to a freeway bypass of Purdy in the late 1970s and the former route was split between SR 302 and the newly created SR 302 Spur.

Security.
# Rules of the Committee.
The committee meets on the first Wednesday of each month while the House is in session. It is not permitted to conduct business unless a quorum is present, which the rules define as one third of its members. A majority of members are required for certain actions including: issuing a subpoena, entering executive session, and immunizing a witness. Committee members have access to classified information but must adhere to stringent access control procedures.
# History of the Committee.
In the 107th Congress, the House Select Committee on Homeland Security was established on June 19, 2002, pursuant to H. Res. 449 (adopted by voice vote). The Committee was | 25,673 |
1600441 | United States House Committee on Homeland Security | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United%20States%20House%20Committee%20on%20Homeland%20Security | United States House Committee on Homeland Security
composed of nine Members of the House: Mr. Armey, Chairman; Mr. DeLay; Mr. Watts of Oklahoma; Ms. Pryce of Ohio; Mr. Portman; Ms. Pelosi; Mr. Frost; Mr. Menendez; and Ms. DeLauro.
The mandate of the Select Committee in the 107th Congress was to “develop recommendations and report to the House on such matters that relate to the establishment of a department of homeland security.” The Select Committee accomplished its mandate on November 22, 2002, when the House concurred in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5005 by unanimous consent, and cleared H.R. 5005 for the President. The bill was presented to the President on November 22, 2002, and was signed on November 25, 2002, becoming Public Law number | 25,674 |

107-296, the "Homeland Security Act of 2002".
The termination date of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security was “after final disposition of a bill including final disposition of any veto message on such bill,” which occurred on November 25, 2002.
The second select committee was formed in 2003 at the beginning of the 108th Congress as a select committee with Rep. Christopher Cox of California as its Chairman and Jim Turner of Texas as its Ranking Member. The creation of the committee was necessitated by the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. As an executive branch department, the newly formed Department of Homeland Security required congressional counterparts to facilitate | 25,675 |

legislative action and oversight.
The committee was made permanent when it was elevated to standing status by vote of the House of Representatives on January 4, 2005 on the opening day of the 109th Congress, again with Rep. Chris Cox as its first permanent Chairman. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi was the Committee' first permanent Ranking Member. Chris Cox, however, resigned from Congress in July 2005 to become the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rep. Peter T. King of New York was named as his replacement as Chairman for the remainder of the 109th Congress.
As Congress switched parties at the beginning of the 110th, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson was the Chairman of the | 25,676 |

Committee and Rep. Peter King was the Ranking Member. Congress switches parties again at the beginning of the 112th, and King became the Chairman, and Thompson the Ranking Member. As Congress switched parties at the beginning of the 116th Thompson again resumed the chair. The Committee continues to operate in a bipartisan manner, passing almost all of its legislation out of the Committee unanimously.
# Hearings.
## Airport computed tomography (CT) scanners.
In November 2017, the full Homeland Security Committee held a hearing to understand how fast the U.S. government could install CT scanners into every airport in the country in order to fight threats to airlines. The hearing focused on | 25,677 |

the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) role in keeping the country secure. The hearing was scheduled because a classified security briefing that was held earlier revealed vulnerabilities to the aviation system that concerned committee members. The latest threats, according to committee Chairman Michael McCaul, "were terrorists using electronic devices and laptops as bombs, and exploding the device on an airplane while the plane is in flight."
## DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office.
On December 7, 2017, the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications held a hearing about the creation of a new office within the Department of Homeland | 25,678 |

Security (DHS) called the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office. “The purpose of the CWMD is to work every day to prevent another catastrophic attack, one using weapons or materials that have the potential to kill our citizens in numbers that dwarf previous attacks,” said James McDonnell, assistant secretary for countering weapons of mass destruction and director of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office for within DHS. In his remarks, the subcommittee chairman Rep. Dan Donovan (R-NY) said that the threat of weapons of mass destruction "has changed and become more diverse." One witness discussed drone delivery of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons as one of the newest threats | 25,679 |

# Fiscal year 2018 budget oversight.
In June 2017, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly testified before the committee regarding DHS's piece of President Trump's Fiscal Year 2018 Budget. During the hearing, members of the committee from both parties "expressed opposition to the Trump administration's proposed budget that would cut funding for training and deployment for local security programs by as much as 30 percent next year [2018]." The overall funding for the department, however, under Trump's budget would increase by almost seven percent. Congressman Peter King (R-NY) said the cuts would affect security programs for New York's first responders, and Congressman | 25,680 |

Donald Payne (D-NJ) questioned how the cuts would help keep safe the ports of Elizabeth and Newark.
The president's budget for 2018 would:
- Increase the DHS budget for fiscal 2018 by $2.8 billion, to $44.1 billion
- Include funding for 500 new border patrol agents
- Include funding for 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents
- Begin construction of the border wall that Trump promised during his presidential campaign
- Cut grants to local and state agencies by $667 million for pre-disaster mitigation and counterterrorism funding

John Sherman (climber)
John Sherman (born 1959), nicknamed Verm (short for "Vermin") is an American climber and a pioneering boulderer. He is also a writer and photographer. He is the originator of the V-scale for grading boulder problems.
Sherman was a very visible "outsider" character in the climbing world during much of the 1980s and 1990s. An early boulderer, Sherman followed the sport from the era of searching for elusive Gill arrows to the forefront of the modern climbing world. He was one of the foremost developers of Hueco Tanks bouldering with over 400 first ascents there in the 1980s and early 1990s. | 25,684 |
1600453 | Koda Kumi | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Koda%20Kumi | Koda Kumi
Koda Kumi
, known professionally as , is a Japanese singer from Kyoto, known for her urban and R&B songs.
After debuting with the single "Take Back" in December 2000, Koda gained fame in March 2003 when the songs from her seventh single, "Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba", were used as themes for the video game "Final Fantasy X-2". Her popularity grew with the release of her fourth studio album "Secret" (2005), her sixteenth single "Butterfly" (2005), and her first greatest hits album "" (2005), reaching the number-three, number-two, and number-one spots respectively.
Though her early releases presented a conservative, quiet image, since as early as 2003 Koda has adopted a sexier and more provocative | 25,685 |
1600453 | Koda Kumi | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Koda%20Kumi | Koda Kumi
style. Because of this image, she has become a fashion leader among young women, setting trends such as the ero-kakkoii style. In 2006 and 2007, Oricon named Koda as the top selling artist of the year.
# Life and career.
## Early life.
Koda was born into a family of musicians. Her grandfather was a Shakuhachi master and her mother was a Koto teacher; she is the older sister of Misono, current solo artist and former lead singer of Day After Tomorrow. Inspired by her mother, who performed in karaoke bars, Koda, from a young age, had aspirations of becoming a singer. Her school years were unhappy; she described her junior and high school years as "obscure times", as she was ridiculed due to | 25,686 |
1600453 | Koda Kumi | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Koda%20Kumi | Koda Kumi
her "fatness", "shortness", "ugliness", and other factors related to her appearance. During her second year of high school Koda auditioned in Avex’s "Dream Audition", where she came in second out of 120,000 participants. She was then signed onto the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone. Koda's first semi-biographical book, "Koda-shiki" ("Koda-style") was officially described as "a story about a girl who was filled with inferiority complex pursuing her way".
### Early career and image change.
Koda debuted on December 6, 2000, with the single "Take Back"; it was followed by "Trust Your Love", "Color of Soul" (both 2001), and "So into You" (2002). "Trust Your Love" and "Color of Soul" were both Top 30 | 25,687 |

### Early career and image change.
Koda debuted on December 6, 2000, with the single "Take Back"; it was followed by "Trust Your Love", "Color of Soul" (both 2001), and "So into You" (2002). "Trust Your Love" and "Color of Soul" were both Top 30 singles; the former reached number 18 on the chart and became Koda's first Top Twenty single. Using the stage name Koda, Koda recorded "Take Back" and "Trust Your Love" in English and released the singles in the United States under Orpheus Records. "Take Back" peaked at number 18 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart;ref | 25,688 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
Andrew Orlowski
Andrew Orlowski (born 1966) is a British columnist, an investigative journalist and was the executive editor of the IT news and opinion website "The Register".
# Journalism career.
In his youth, Orlowski had been involved in a school magazine called "Within These Walls", and a fanzine named "Paradise Demise". Moving from Northallerton, Yorkshire, to Manchester in 1984, he studied at University of Manchester and worked as a receptionist in the IT department at GM Buses, before taking a course in computer programming. He worked as a programmer in Altrincham in the early 1990s, and later said that he "found that a lot less creative than I'd expected, and this being my first proper | 25,689 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
job I soon got disillusioned."
Orlowski wrote reviews for Manchester's "City Life" magazine from 1988, and in 1992 started an alternative newspaper called "Badpress" in Manchester. In 1994 he became computer correspondent at "Private Eye" magazine. In the late 1990s, he wrote for "PC Pro" and was news editor at "IT Week". Today, Orlowski is a columnist and the executive editor of IT news and opinion website "The Register"; he was based in San Francisco for five years in the early 2000s, reporting for "The Register", but returned to England in 2006.
Orlowski also gave one of the earliest mentions of the term "iPhone", which he wrote in a "The Register" article in August 2002 amid speculation | 25,690 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
of a mobile phone partnership between Apple and Sony Ericsson.
## "Googlewashing".
In 2003, Orlowski coined the term "googlewashing" to describe the potential for accidental or intentional censorship of concepts through the way search engines like Google Search operate. An article in "The New York Times" commenting on worldwide anti-war demonstrations had stated that "there may still be two superpowers on the planet: the United States and world public opinion", and the term "the Second Superpower" suddenly acquired widespread currency. However, within a few weeks, most of the top search engine results for the term had come to be about something else, because a prominent blogger had used the | 25,691 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
same term in what Orlowski described as a "plea for net users to organize themselves as a 'superpower'." The blogger's piece was so well linked and so widely commented upon online that the first few pages of Google hits in a search for "the second superpower" all were about his new meaning, with the original anti-war meaning relegated to "other links not shown because they are deemed to be irrelevant." Even the term "googlewashing" itself almost came to be "googlewashed" in a similar manner, with Orlowski's original definition temporarily disappearing from the top Google search results for the term.
## Writings on techno-utopianism.
Orlowski is a frequent writer on techno-utopianism. Concerning | 25,692 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
the political influence of Google, Orlowski has said, "The web is a secular religion at the moment and politicians go to pray at events like the Google Zeitgeist conference. Any politician who wants to brand himself as a forward-looking person will get himself photographed with the Google boys. [...] It's the big regulatory issue of the next 10 years: how politicians deal with Google. If the web is as important as the politicians say, it seems odd that one company sets the price and defines the terms of business."
Commenting on the vision of the technological singularity, a future time when people and machines would combine to form a new superintelligence, and at least a part of humanity might | 25,693 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
overcome biological limitations like death and disease, he has stated that "The Singularity is not the great vision for society that Lenin had or Milton Friedman might have. It is rich people building a lifeboat and getting off the ship."
In December 2004, Orlowski was invited to a discussion panel on techno-utopianism at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. He was Assistant Producer of Adam Curtis' 2011 BBC TV series on techno-utopianism, "All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace".
## English Wikipedia criticism.
In the 2000s, Orlowski often took a critical view of English Wikipedia, noting in 2005, "Readability, which wasn't great to begin with, has plummeted. | 25,694 |
1600451 | Andrew Orlowski | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Orlowski | Andrew Orlowski
Orlowski often took a critical view of English Wikipedia, noting in 2005, "Readability, which wasn't great to begin with, has plummeted. Formerly coherent and reasonably accurate articles in the technical section have gotten worse as they've gotten longer." In a 2005 BBC article, Bill Thompson said Orlowski was "scathing in his dismissal of the site as a cult-like organisation where faith triumphs rationality, and even suggests we look at English Wikipedia as 'a massively scalable, online role-playing game' where 'players can assume fictional online identities and many "editors" do just that'."
