Ravens, DC Don Martindale Part Ways
Jones: Cowboys Made Dez "Really Nice" Offers
November 12th, 2014 at 8:44am CST by Luke Adams
As negotiations on a long-term contract continue between the Cowboys and Dez Bryant's camp, the team's two primary decision-makers spoke to reporters, including Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, about the situation. Both owner Jerry Jones and chief operating officer Stephen Jones expressed optimism that the Cowboys will eventually work out a long-term extension with their star wide receiver, downplaying recent reports about potential concerns about his maturity.
"What we want to do is have an agreement for the rest of Dez's career," Jerry Jones said. "To me, that says a lot about the concern about off-the-field [issues] if we want him on the Dallas Cowboys for the rest of his career. … I'm real impressed with how he's evolved over the last several years, or we wouldn't be in serious contract negotiations with him. So I think all of that is where it really is, and I do look for us to get something done with Dez."
Meanwhile, Stephen Jones indicated that the team has offered Bryant "some really nice contracts." Of course, it's fair to assume that the team's definition of a "really nice" offer may not match up with the wideout's definition. Based on reports to date, it appears the Cowboys are attempting to lock up Bryant to a contract structured similarly to the extension signed by left tackle Tyron Smith earlier this year.
Smith's deal is lucrative — if he plays it out, he'll end up earning more than $100MM. However, it's also extremely team-friendly, locking Smith up through the 2023 season with plenty of outs for the Cowboys, but none for the player himself. All of Smith's guaranteed money will be paid by the time the 2015 season ends, meaning Dallas would essentially have club options on him for the next eight years. As Jason Cole of Bleacher Report tweets, Bryant would be better off being franchised for the next two years than accepting an offer like that.
Of course, Bryant has already suggested he'd be "highly disappointed" if the Cowboys used their franchise tag on him. Still, it's something Dallas will have to strongly consider, especially if the team intends to sign running back DeMarco Murray to a multiyear extension of his own. As Machota outlines in a second Morning News article, Jerry Jones said he feels the team can "absolutely" bring both offensive weapons back, and if that's the case, it seems unlikely that both players would get long-term deals. However, Stephen Jones pointed out that the club certainly isn't preparing to use its franchise tag quite yet.
"The furthest thing from our mind is the franchise tag," Stephen Jones said. "If you ask me about that, I know we have the use of it. It's business. But our intentions are to sign Dez to a long-term contract."

THE DC MOTH STORYSLAM (AT THE MIRACLE THEATRE)
This concert is held at The Miracle Theatre 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC 20003
Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented thousands of stories told live and without notes.
Moth shows are renowned for the great range of human experience they showcase. Each show starts with a theme, and the storytellers explore it, often in unexpected ways. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, the shows dance between documentary and theater, creating a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience.
The Moth was founded by the novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings in his native Georgia, when moths were attracted to the light on the porch where he and his friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales. The first New York Moth event was held in George's living room and the story events quickly spread to larger venues throughout the city.
Through ongoing programs in more than 25 cities, The Moth has presented over 18,000 stories to standing-room-only crowds worldwide and it currently produces more than 500 live shows each year. Additionally, The Moth runs storytelling workshops for high school students and adults in underserved communities through their Education and Community Programs.
The Moth has an enthusiastic following for all of its content. The Moth podcast is downloaded over 44 million times a year, and each week, the Peabody Award-winning Moth Radio Hour is heard on over 450 radio stations worldwide. The Moth's first book, The Moth: 50 True Stories was a NYT Bestseller and its newest book, All These Wonders: True Stories About Facing the Unknown was released March, 2017.

The main kick-off to sunny weather and time on the water takes place this weekend. Memorial Day is a reminder to brush up on boating safety and protection, including your watercraft insurance policy. USA Today estimated the number of boating accidents nearly triples on this busy holiday. With water crowded to the max, boat owners will quickly realize how important protection will be in the unfortunate case of an accident.
In addition to excessive vacationers and more boats in the water, you can expect alcohol to be consumed, adding another risk. So take just a few minutes to review your current watercraft policy or decide if you need to insure your watercraft for the busy summer season.
Watercraft policies generally cover bodily injury, property damage, guest passenger liability, medical payments and theft. Additional coverage is available for trailers and other watercraft accessories.
Making sure a boating inspection is complete before hitting the water is always important. Check the weather before heading out – you don't want to be caught in a thunderstorm on the seas. Make sure your GPS is working properly. Encourage passengers to wear life jackets when on a watercraft. Lastly, be sure to designate a sober boat operator for your adventure. Coastline Insurance wishes you and your family a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend!

Bird found dead of West Nile in Riverside
by August 16, 2005 February 8, 2021
Riverside Fire Chief Anthony Bednarz announced Monday that a bird found dead in Riverside last week has tested positive for the West Nile virus. He added, however, that "just because there's a dead bird doesn't mean the virus is in the community" and that West Nile tests done previously for infected mosquitoes this summer in Riverside has come back negative.
"At this point, it's more of a wait and see thing," Bednarz said. "This is not a time to panic. The best thing people can do is to take the usual precautions against mosquitoes."
Bednarz said that on Friday, Aug. 12, a dead blue jay later found to have contracted West Nile was found within the Riverside village limits. However, Bednarz would not pinpoint exactly where the bird was found.
"We're not releasing that information," he said. "We don't want to have anxiety in the area."
Paul Geery, assistant manager biologist at the Des Plaines Valley Mosquito Abatement District, said Tuesday morning that the district has seen an increase in the number of mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus in the area surrounding Riverside.
The district regularly sprays pesticides in catch water basins and other stagnant water pools, but Geery said full-scale pesticide spraying?"directed at killing adult mosquitoes, rather than just larvae?"may be necessary in the near future.
"We're starting to see some activity, and I suspect that the area could be [sprayed] as early as today," Geery said Tuesday morning.
As of yesterday morning, the district was still running tests at mosquito traps in the area. He said if spraying hasn't already taken place by early this week, it's likely that it will be necessary within the next two weeks.
Mosquitoes of the Culex genus, which are different from the average "nuisance mosquito," are prone to becoming infected with the virus. Culex mosquitoes thrive in hot, dry weather.
Geery said unless weather cools down, it's likely that West Nile will continue to be a threat.

You have just received your miraDry procedure. As you leave the physician's office today, there are a few things that you should know.
First of all, you should notice a reduction in your underarm sweat almost immediately after the procedure. Most patients report a reduction of 60%, but not complete elimination, of their underarm sweat. In a recent clinical study, the average sweat reduction was 90% after their second treatment.
Swelling in the treated area is normally seen for up to two weeks after the procedure, though this swelling can be reduced by regularly applying ice as directed by your physician's office.
Your physician will also recommend a non-prescription anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to reduce the normal inflammation and discomfort that usually occurs for a few days after the procedure.
Although usually not needed, if you wish to apply antiperspirant/deodorant, you can typically resume doing so within a few days following the procedure. Your underarms could be tender for up to two weeks as they heal from the procedure. Shaving can also resume when the tenderness has subsided enough for your comfort level.
Other minor effects can last several weeks: swelling in the arm or torso; altered sensation (numbness or tingling) in the skin of the treated area or the arm; redness or bruising in the underarm or adjacent area. Other minor effects that may last longer are bumps you can feel under the skin, darkening of the skin, and altered sensation in the skin in and around the treated area. These should gradually disappear over time. Partial hair loss may be long-term.
Though less common, it is possible that some small blisters may develop in the treatment area. Keeping these areas clean and applying an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment can speed the healing process and prevent infection.

Gather the family: It's time to chat about cybersecurity.
Today's cyber risks are all too common and unfortunately, constantly morphing. From attacks and extortion to bullying and more, your family and property are likely at risk if you are on the internet. Last year, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received a total of 301,580 complaints with reported losses exceeding $1.4 Billion. The biggest group of victims was people over 60 (49,523 of them lost $342 million), but more than 9,000 cybercrimes were reported with victims under the age of 20. So whether it's your parents or your teenager, it takes the whole family to keep cybercriminals away.
Those with substantial wealth and any degree of public prominence are generally the most attractive targets for the latest crop of techno-crooks. As such, personal cyber security policies are now as essential as home or automobile insurance. That's why we urge clients to speak with us about resources for prevention, education and protection.
But in case the gang is coming over for Sunday dinner, and you want to have this discussion sooner rather than later, these are the key areas to cover over the cornbread.
One of the fastest growing cybercrimes is called "social engineering" where crooks convince you to send them money by pretending to be someone you know. Often, they break into your email system to gather tidbits of personal information to make their appeals seem believable.
Create a universally understood protocol before anyone in the family approves a money transfer, and make sure it involves face-to-face or voice verification. Don't rely on email. Criminals can program automated responses from a hacked email account that seem realistic.
Use unique passwords for each of your banks, investment companies and/or any account that could lead to a substantial loss. Similarly, consider using a separate email account just for communicating with your bank.
Avoid conducting financial transactions on public Wi-Fi networks—while it's getting harder to hack into data moving over Wi-Fi, it's not impossible. Banking on your phone connected to cellular data is somewhat more secure.
If anyone in your family is into Bitcoin or other crypto-currencies, they need to take extra security precautions. These systems turn money into unique code numbers and if they are stolen or lost, you can't get them back. These losses are shockingly common.
Lots of money is stolen by crooks who fool people into revealing their passwords. Remind family members to watch out for phishing emails from a "bank" or other site requesting information. Even better, make sure to enable the service that require you to log in both with your password and a code sent to your cell phone.
Make your passwords really long. Never mind the old advice to make funny looking pA$$w0rdz with symbols and numbers. Many crooks use computers to guess all the possible passwords until one works. Foil this scheme by using a phrase of five or six words that you can remember. Normal spelling is fine.
Use software that assigns a different password to each site you use, such as 1Password and Dashlane. That way if someone steals one password, they can't get into any of your other accounts.
Watch for secret "ghost" apps that hide photos or videos in a calculator or enable private messaging.
Listen carefully to your kids who are likely ahead of the trends! They may hear about other kinds of scams and technology problems that the whole family should be aware of.
Today's best policies assist with data restoration, credit monitoring and damages related to cyber bullying. Because cyber scams are evolving as fast as our devices (or faster!), it's worth staying in regular touch with your Crystal account executive. Fortunately, the insurance industry is evolving right along with the criminals so those discussions will help to ensure your coverage is up to date.


Jennifer Privette will talk about her personal experience with MS then lead the April Walk-n-Talk.
MS is a mysterious and unpredictable autoimmune disease in which the immune system sends abnormal responses against the central nervous system, attacking it. Basically, the insulation, myelin, around our nerve pathways deteriorates in certain spots, causing signaling to go a little haywire. This can affect vision, mobility, cognition, cause severe pain, fatigue, and the list goes on. Imagine everything your central nervous system does and you can imagine the multitude of symptoms.
"Even though this can make life very frustrating at times, it also makes the information, freedom, and people you can hold onto that much more precious. Walking is one of those things. MS is not predictable, and frankly it's weird," Jennifer says. The cause is unknown, making the cure also unknown. There are few medications, all of which are extremely expensive and every person with MS has a different set of symptoms.
Numerous studies have shown that MS patients who exercise manage their symptoms better, are stronger, have less fatigue, depression and generally just do better. That is why the National MS Society's annual MS Walk slogan is "Walk to create a world free of MS". Movement is key. Jennifer and her team will be joining the annual Walk MS in Seattle on April 13th. You can read Jennifer's Walk MS profile HERE and support her team's efforts HERE.
To raise awareness and to reach out to the local Burien community, please join Jennifer for WABI's special edition "Walk-n-Talk MS" here in Burien on April 6th.
WHEN: Sunday April 6, 2014; meet at 2:00 p.m.; Jennifer will begin her chat at 2:15. We'll start walking at about 2:30 p.m.
WHAT/WHO: Before the Walk-n-Talk, Jennifer will talk about MS from an up-close-and-personal point-of-view. This is a FREE Walk-n-Talk open to people of all abilities, including families and dogs.
WHERE: If it's a dry day, we'll meet on the grassy knoll in the middle of Burien Town Square Park, at 5th Place SW and SW 152nd Street (between the Library and the Condos). If it's raining, we'll meet under the north side porch awning of the Burien Library, so we can listen to Jennifer without getting drenched.
Jennifer Privette grew up in the Normandy Park/Burien area. She and her husband recently bought their first house in Burien. They love living here and getting to know the community. She is the editor at a Seattle-based international education publisher, Study in the USA. She's also the primary writer at Study in the USA, putting her journalism degree from Seattle University to good use.

Explore the interior of the Old Faithful Inn and truly take a step back in time. The Old Faithful District in Yellowstone holds much of the park's history.
Since 1897, the Lower Hamilton Store is the oldest structure in the Old Faithful area still in use.
Old Faithful Inn represents the asymmetry of nature's chaos as designed by Robert C. Reamer, built in 1903.
Old Faithful Lodge offers cabin-style accommodations today and began as a series of tent camps in the early 1900s.
Built in the winter of 1903-04, Old Faithful Inn represents the asymmetry of nature's chaos as designed by Robert C. Reamer. The hotel lobby features a 65-foot ceiling, a massive rhyolite fireplace, and contorted lodgepole pine railings. Wings were added to the hotel in 1915 and 1927. There are 327 rooms for guests in this National Historic Landmark, currently operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts.
Unlike the Inn, the current Old Faithful Lodge dates back to the early days of tent camps provided by companies like Shaw and Powell Camping Company and Wylie Permanent Camping Company. In 1918, a laundry was built on the site and construction continued on the facility until 1928 when the Lodge reached its present configuration. Cabin-style accommodations are available at Old Faithful Lodge, currently operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts. Often confused with the other two hotels in the area, Old Faithful Lodge houses a cafeteria, gift shop, coffee shop, and the front desk where guests check in.
Built in 1897, Lower Hamilton Store is the oldest structure in the Old Faithful area still in use. The knotty pine porch is a popular resting place for visitors and provides a great view of Geyser Hill.
Built in 2010, the Visitor Education Center features a number of exhibits on the park's geothermal activities. There is also a fantastic movie room and gift shop. Join a Ranger Led Program and learn about the area's history.

At her words, Yu Yuehan took Nian Xiaomu's hand, stood up, and walked out of the dining room.
As soon as they sat down on the sofa, Nian Xiaomu suddenly sprang up from it.
Although she had a fearless spirit, the thought of receiving a marriage proposal made her lose her cool.
"What are you nervous about?" Yu Yuehan chortled at the sight of her acting jittery and apprehensive.
As Nian Xiaomu cupped the jewelry box in her hand, she felt feverish with excitement!
She swallowed hard, and just as she felt that her heart was about to leap out of her throat, she mustered the courage to open the box.
Her eyes narrowed once she saw what was inside!
Did she seem like someone who needed a brooch?
He had acted so secretly just to show this to her?!
A thought suddenly struck Nian Xiaomu, and she took a closer look at the brooch.
The design and color of the brooch seemed more suited for elders.
The brooch that Nian Xiaomu was keen on had been bought by Wen Yadai at the auction.
However, he had taken to heart how she had expressed her desire to dote on Grandma.
He must have done it on purpose!
Recalling how she had acted coy and nervous, Nian Xiaomu felt a deep sense of embarrassment!
Just you wait, Yu Yuehan!
If there was a next time, even if he were to get down on one knee to propose to her with a ring, she would be extremely calm!
Nian Xiaomu did not have to go to work today.
After she had eaten her fill, Nian Xiaomu headed back to her bed to catch up on more sleep, but Yu Yuehan scooped her up and carried her to the study.
He had to work from home, so she would simply sit on his lap and watch him.
Nian Xiaomu was obviously not pleased with this arrangement. Just when she tried to get up from his lap, Yu Yuehan let out a low grunt.
After Yu Yuehan's threat, Nian Xiaomu obediently rested in his embrace, afraid to even stir.
It is commonly known that a man looks most charming when he is seriously working.
Since Nian Xiaomu had just woken up, she was not sleepy.
Feeling bored to tears from just sitting in Yu Yuehan's arms, Nian Xiaomu tilted her head to read through the documents on the computer.
Occasionally, when Yu Yuehan looked down at her and saw that she was deep in thought, he would drop a few questions and ask for her opinion.
Nian Xiaomu did not try to hide her thoughts and answered him truthfully.
The pair were compatible in their thought processes and seemed to read each other's minds. Every time a comment was made, the other person would agree and acknowledge it.
Yu Yuehan's gaze grew deeper as he looked at Nian Xiaomu who seemed to be a different person when she discussed work matters.
"I'm not doing this anymore!
When Nian Xiaomu snapped back to her senses, she realized that she did not stand to gain anything by helping Yu Yuehan go through the documents. Instead, she leaned lazily against him and gazed at his handsome face.
The sunbeams shone in from outside and lit up the huge study, warming up the mood in the air.
Yu Yuehan's perfect features stood out clearly in the light.

Hi! My name is Curt Knitt and I'm an avid shooter. I looked far and wide for a gun vise that would serve my demanding needs. The vises on the market today just didn't have the long term reliability or additional features I was looking for. What's a guy supposed to do in a situation like that?
Well, I built my own gun vise and set it up in the shop. Soon afterwards the fellas started fighting over who got to use it first! It was pretty apparent that I wasn't the only one who wanted an 'ultimate' gun vise. After two redesigns the P3 Ultimate Gun Vise was complete and now it is available for everyone!

Dead Space Just as Revolting on Apple's iPad, iPhone
By Matt Peckham
PCWorld	 Jan 26, 2011 1:29 pm PST
Hey Dead Space, you're an iOS game now! Hard to believe, but true. EA's just released a version of its survival-horror series with flesh-cleaving tendencies for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Make that one of the most visually impressive survival-horror sprees for a phone or tablet device to date, and probably one of the scariest, too.
We'd probably blame EA mobile developer IronMonkey Studios for turning a spectacular System Shock tribute action game into a finger-fumbling mess, but I'm hearing it's rather the other thing. In fact, last I checked, the App Store ratings average was five for five (of 300 registering).
Let's see: Third-person shooter, full voice acting, two new weapons, visual design comparable to the original, and though the name suggests it's just a port of the 2008 original, it's actually a standalone sequel set three years after the events in the original (sort of a preamble to Dead Space 2).
Want flavors? It comes in two: The high-definition iPad version which goes for $9.99, or the standard-definition (but otherwise identical) iPhone version for $6.99.
Yes EA marketing, it's kind of obvious that it's "the first Dead Space storyline ever devised for iOS," and I'm not sure we need you to tell us the sound's "vivid," the graphics "visceral," and the sensory experience "charged."
But I'm happy to know you've made it work, somehow, with swipe and tap controls, and that you've added a new weapon called the Plasma Saw and another called the Core Extractor. Just a guess, but I assume the latter refers to a mobile version of the first game's planet-cracker, and that I'll be "extracting" stuff from evil animate multi-limbed corpses, not planets.
Regarding your "in-game store upgrades," I'm less persuaded, even if they help me "survive the Necromorph onslaught." Can't I just do that on my own? Isn't that integral to the gameplay? Do I need to pay more for power nodes, weapon enhancements, or, your know, just to unlock doors? Can't I do that stuff if I'm good enough without paying?
Sure, it'd be cool if paying hard cash for extra leverage worked in real life. You know, like dropping a couple bucks on your iPhone in bad traffic to grow stilts, or maybe a jet engine, then clambering/rocketing away.
But in games, I'm not as sure. I want the game's rules of play to challenge me, not my checking account.
Oh who am I kidding. You had me at the 'i' in 'OS'. And now I have to buy a copy, just to see how things in your better-than-average tale of maniac cannibal aliens turns out.

Friday 13th: Definitely My Lucky Day at the 2011 DEECD Innovation Showcase!
The DEECD Innovation Showcase is an annual event showcasing the wonderful work of students and educators in Victorian Government Schools. I was so excited to have the opportunity to attend this year's Showcase with our Director of ICT, Nathan Burgess.
The link to the SlideShare presentation below shows the many highlights of the day for me and I was fortunate enough to share these highlights afterwards with members of our ICT Professional Learning Teams Program. At our school, we are very fortunate to have wonderful support to attend and participate in various PD Programs. I believe it is important that we then share our highlights, what we learnt, etc… not only with our colleagues, but with the wider education community.
The day was full of inspirational people! Some of the inspiration came from unlikely sources like comedian, Anh Doh. We laughed and we cried as Anh told the most amazing stories of his life, many of which struck a chord with me as an educator.
Congratulations to all involved in this year's exciting Showcase. Thank you for giving educators from Government, Catholic and Independent Schools the opportunity to see your inspiring work.
I have a new role at my school this year as Head of eLearning & Library Resources. Part of our vision for the Library is for it to become the "digital hub" of the school. It is a place where staff can participate in ICT Professional Learning and experiment with technology.
I was fortunate enough to attend the 2010 VITTA Conference. One of the many highlights for me was the Microsoft Kinect Lounge where I had the opportunity to try the Kinect system for myself. I was taken by the amazing graphics, engaging games and the ease of which I could control the activities through simple gestures. I was keen to trial the use of the Kinect system at school to see where it could take us.
The 2010 Horizon Report for Australia and New Zealand predicts that we will see a widespread adoption of Augmented Reality within the next two to three years and, within the next four to five years, the widespread use of gesture-based computing. Yes, some people are sceptical about the relevance of this type of technology in education but with sites such as KinectEDucation emerging and Stephen Howell's work with Kinect and Scratch, there is no denying that there are exciting possibilities!
On Friday, we hosted two groups of staff in our Library where they had the opportunity to use Kinect Adventures. The first session was only 20 minutes long due to a school event and was made up of teachers currently participating in our ICT Professional Learning Teams Program. The second session was an afternoon tea for members of our ICT Department.
Our second session was a "Kinect Afternoon Tea" and designed to offer our ICT Department staff some "time out". We are very fortunate to have fabulous technical and "behind the scenes" staff. What struck me about this session was the team spirit and healthy competition that quickly emerged. They were encouraging each other and keen to see who was going to get the top score. This was a use for the Kinect system that I had overlooked – staff team building. Up to that point, I had focussed only uses only for students. We decided that we would have to buy a trophy and acknowledge the "Kinect Champion"!


Thanks everyone the problem has been resolved it was the neutral wired to the switch instead of the hot.
We're assuming it has a polarized plug. It could have a non-polarized two prong plug, which should be replaced if this is the case.
leaving the entire winding tied to 120V.
widow-maker. In any event, you need to alert the seller (forcefully!).
variac could be a lethal device - Off must ALWAYS mean OFF!
> I have a 2000VA chinese variac off ebay looks similar to a staco(.
> ground.  Is this normal for a variac?
> in and I got a 120V bite even when the dial is all the way to 0.

Q: check for existence of a view before creating it I have a table 'X' and I want to drop the table and create a view 'X' only if the view 'X' doesn't exist.
Please let me know how to check this in firebird, oracle, postgres

A: In Firebird you can:
CREATE OR ALTER VIEW ...

or check for existence:
SELECT * FROM rdb$relations
WHERE rdb$relation_type = 1
  AND rdb$relation_name = <view_name>

A: A view is just a SQL, you can't drop a table and create a view on it. However, in Oracle, if you want to find whether view X exists in database, just query the view user_objects:
select count(*) from user_objects where object_name='X' and object_type='VIEW'

If the result >= 0, a view named X has existed. Similar query can be used to query whether a table has existed.
The easiest way in Oracle is just use create or replace view X as ...., you do not need to care whether a view named X has exist or not.

A: PostgreSQL-specific answer: You can use an anonymous code block.
First, obviously, if your new view is supposed to give the data from table X, then you can't drop the table.  But assuming the new view X will get its data from somewhere else then:
DO LANGUAGE plpgsql $BODY$
BEGIN
    PERFORM FROM information_schema.views WHERE table_name = 'x';
    IF NOT FOUND THEN
        DROP TABLE X CASCADE;
        CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW X AS SELECT * FROM Y;
    END IF;
END $BODY$;

Note that although table names are case-insensitive in PostgreSQL, the information schema  table_name is CASE-SENSITIVE and values are stored in LOWERCASE (not sure if this is standard or what.)
Also, though not relevant in this case, note that views show up in both the tables and views tables in the information schema (again, not sure if this is a PostgreSQL peculiarity.)
If the new view IS supposed to have the data from table X, then you can still do it by renaming the table first (this works even if the table X was referenced elsewhere in a foreign key, at least in the trivial case I had -- apparently the view takes over and any underlying object ids are handled auto-magically):
DO LANGUAGE plpgsql $BODY$
BEGIN
    PERFORM FROM information_schema.views WHERE table_name = 'x';
    IF NOT FOUND THEN
        ALTER TABLE X RENAME TO _X_table;
        CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW X AS SELECT * FROM _X_table;
    END IF;
END $BODY$;
