Museums >California Academy of Sciences
55 Music Concourse Dr, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411837.769737 -122.466139
Mon-Sat 9:30am-5pm, Sun 11am-5pm
Neighborhoods: Golden Gate Park, Northwest
Plan your day carefully, there is a lot to see here. Also there is free admission on "free neighborhood days" and some Sundays listed on their website.
Plan to be here all day. I'm not kidding. This place has layers upon layers of science and technology to learn about and play with. Bring a lunch or eat at the cafe. It's decent food. A must see when in SFO.
Love this museum! – I love this museum!
I first ventured into the California Academy of Sciences on a date -- it was one of the best dates ever!
The museum has so many different exhibits; a rainforest complete with free-flying butterflies and birds plus some caged animals as well, an awesome aquarium with tons of different fish and coral exhibits, and a living roof.
This museum is great for kids and adults alike. They also have "adult night" on Thursdays, but I've never been.
Their individual (and changing) exhibits should be included in the General Admission price. I'd love to check one out.
Albino Alligator Rules! – CA Academy of Sciences opens at 9:30a.m. and we arrived a little after 10 without any lines. We went straight to the planetarium to get out passes for the 12p.m. show and began our journey. It's important to get your passes ASAP because the shows fill up quick!
We started off in the aquarium and saw some of the prettiest, craziest, ugliest, biggest, smallest and coolest fish! There are a lot of under water tunnels so you can see the fish from every angle ... which kind of freaked me out sometimes! From the aquarium we ran over to the cafe for a quick lunch before the planetarium show. There was all types of different foods, all of which was pretty good! Sandwiches, tacos, chicken, rice, salad, spring rolls, soup, and tons more I didn't see.
The planetarium was definitely our favorite part! The show was called 'Fragile Planet' and was about our Earth and the universe we live in. It really showed us (in the coolest way possible) just how small we really are! It also made me feel very lucky to be apart of this crazy phenomenon we call life!
After the show we visited the Rooftop Garden or the "Living Roof." It's pretty fascinating to see how many different flowers, birds, and insects thrive off of this rooftop! We also saw solar panels along the roof which provides the building with 5-10% of its electricity. It was a beautiful day so we got great views of GG park, the Musical Concourse, and the de Young Museum.
Another great exhibit the museum houses is the four story life-like Rain Forest. Get ready to sweat when you get in here because not only does it look and smell like a rain forest, it's hot and muggy like a rain forest too! Filled with plants, animals, and insects the rain forest was really fun to walk through. The prettiest part were the butterfly's that flew freely throughout the entire exhibit.
Towards the end of our journey we went through the African Hall where we saw mostly replicas of animals that live in Africa. One of the few live animals in this exhibit were the African Penguins! Yes! Penguins live in Africa too! Crazy hu!
It was a long day of walking through the CA Academy of Sciences. We all had a great time and I can't wait to go back!
Very serene and eerie. Cool! – All I remember from my childhood of this place was a lot of green algae growing in tanks, everywhere!
I went recently and really enjoyed the Living Philippine Coral Reef exhibit.
"The Academy chose to feature a Philippine coral reef because the reef systems in the Philippines are among the most diverse in the world."
Very serene and eerie. Cool!
Great Family Experience – A great place to take the family. My kids loved all the exhibits from the Rain Forest to the Ocean. It was a little crowded when we went but that's expected for a Saturday. If you want a good out of town experience with the family then the California Academy of Sciences is a great place to go.
This fully sustainable, state-of-the-art alter to SF's inner science geek houses six times the number of live sea creatures and tons more cool Earth-friendly stuff than the previous incarnation. – For those who think science museums are reserved for third grade field trips and retired seniors, this remarkable space dedicated to biology, astronomy, zoology and ecology will blow your mind. Forget the dust and mothballs and boring text placards that no one ever reads--the academy's new design features an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum (complete with stuffed gorillas and zebras), self-contained rainforest, living roof and two top-notch dining establishments (a full-service restaurant highlighting sustainable ingredients and an international food court-style cafe) from local chefs Charles Phan and Loretta Keller. Besides the innovative exhibits on the inside, the architecture alone stands out for its creative design that blends naturally into the back drop of Golden Gate Park, a testament to the eco-friendly focus of this new educational destination.

- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyLow Back Pain
(Trypsin, Chymotrypsin)
4 to 8 tablets a day of proteolytic enzymes containing trypsin and chymotrypsin, and/or bromelain [3 stars]Supplementing with a combination of the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin may improve low back pain.Low Back Pain
(Trypsin, Chymotrypsin)
4 to 8 tablets a day of proteolytic enzymes containing trypsin and chymotrypsin, and/or bromelain [3 stars]Supplementing with a combination of the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin may improve low back pain.Pancreatic Insufficiency Consult a qualified medical practitioner [3 stars]Digestive enzymes are the mainstay of pancreatic insufficiency treatment and have been shown to reduce pain and steatorrhea associated with pancreatitis.Sprains and Strains 4 to 8 tablets a day of proteolytic enzymes containing trypsin, chymotrypsin, and/or bromelain as Proteolytic Enzymes[3 stars]Proteolytic enzymes, including bromelain, may be helpful in healing sprains and strains because they are anti-inflammatory and appear to promote tissue healing.Celiac Disease Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner [2 stars]Some evidence suggests that enzyme supplements may be useful at the beginning of dietary treatment for this disease.Indigestion, Heartburn, and Low Stomach Acidity Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner [2 stars]Lipase, a pancreatic enzyme, aids in the digestion of fats and may improve digestion in some people.Osteoarthritis 90 mg of bromelain and 48 mg of trypsin, with 100 mg of rutosid, taken in enteric-coated pills three times per day [2 stars]In one study, people with painful osteoarthritis of the knee who received an oral enzyme-flavonoid preparation saw more improvement in pain and joint function than those who took a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID).Tendinitis Several tablets per day of proteolytic enzymes [2 stars]Supplementing with digestive enzymes may reduce the severity of symptoms and speed healing.Acne Rosacea Refer to label instructions [1 star]Digestive enzymes have been reported anecdotally to improve rosacea symptoms.Allergies and Sensitivities and Food Allergies Refer to label instructions [1 star]Proteolytic enzymes may theoretically reduce allergy symptoms by breaking down undigested protein to sizes that are too small to cause allergic reactions.Chronic Candidiasis Refer to label instructions [1 star]Digestive enzymes inhibit the overgrowth of candida and prevent it from becoming established in the small intestine.Crohn's Disease Refer to label instructions [1 star]Supplementing with enzymes might improve the nutrient malabsorption that is often associated with Crohn's disease.Low Back Pain Refer to label instructions [1 star]Several trials have reported reduced pain and swelling, and/or faster healing in people with a variety of conditions who use papain.
Digestive enzymes are complex proteins involved in digestion that stimulate chemical changes in other substances. They work optimally at specific temperature and pH. Digestive enzymes include pancreatic enzymes, plant-derived enzymes, and fungal-derived enzymes. There are three classes of digestive enzymes: proteolytic enzymes needed to digest protein, lipases needed to digest fat, and amylases needed to digest carbohydrates.

December 13, 2012
A woman in Charlottesville has started an online petition asking Governor Bob McDonnell and the Virginia General Assembly to "vote against the confirmation of Helen Dragas" as Rector of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors.
The petition was launched on the web site change.org on Wednesday. As of 9 p.m. Thursday, it had 1,122 supporters.
The petition's author, Suzie McCarthy, says Dragas does not deserve to be confirmed because of her role in trying to force out UVa President Teresa Sullivan. McCarthy writes: "The continued presence of Helen Dragas within the UVA Board of Visitors represents a stumbling block to all attempts to reestablish trust."
The General Assembly will vote on whether to confirm Dragas during its session starting in January.

ADA News
Open Clinical and Science Forums offer chance for dialogue
Las Vegas—"If we don't get the answers here today, at least we will get the questions," said Dr. Michael Glick, kicking off the Oct. 11 Open Clinical and Science Forum on the safety and effectiveness of dental restorations.
|From the audience: Dr. Dick Hastreiter, Eagan, Minn., participates in the Open Forum discussion. Photos by EZ Event Photography
About 700 dentists and others gathered in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for the first of two open forums on hot topics in dentistry at Annual Session.
The second forum, a discussion of facts and opinions surrounding temporomandibular disorders, was held Oct. 12. Sponsoring the forums for the second straight year are the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs, The Journal of the American Dental Association and the Council on ADA Sessions.
"Our hope is to engage you in a dialogue" on critical issues in dentistry, said Dr. Daniel Meyer, senior vice president, ADA Division of Science and Professional Affairs.
Drs. Meyer and Glick hosted the forums, which featured half a dozen panelists who offered brief presentations on their areas of expertise and then invited questions from the audience. Dr. Glick is the editor of JADA and dean of the dental school, University at Buffalo, the State University of New York.
The first presenter for the dental restorations forum was Dr. John Burgess, assistant dean for Clinical Research and director of the Biomaterials Graduate Program, University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Burgess presented research showing that failure rates for dental amalgam and composite restorations were roughly equivalent and that the need to replace direct restorative materials usually resulted from secondary caries.
He later declared amalgam "a good, safe material," which appeared to be the panel's consensus.
|Dr. Glenn: The dentist's role is to "apply science."
At CDP, he said, "we like to think that we're the council that is closest to the practicing dentist." Restorative materials are constantly evolving, he added, and it is the practicing dentist's role "to take scientific knowledge and turn it into applied knowledge."
Dr. Eugenio Beltran of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the ideal restorative material should be durable, easy to use, easy to transport and store, acceptable to the patient, inexpensive and with no or minimum side effects.
Dr. Art Conn brought greetings from Canada where he is the dental advisor to the Medical Devices Bureau at Health Canada, the nation's government-backed health care system.
In Canada, he noted, dental restorative materials are Class III medical devices, and manufacturers must provide evidence of their safety and efficacy.
"The government of Canada," he said, "believes dental amalgam is a safe and effective restorative material."
But certain environmental interests, he said, are "pushing hard for a ban on amalgam" and raising public health concerns about restricting access to the material for "vulnerable populations."
Dr. Jed Jacobson, another panelist, is chief science officer and senior vice president of Professional Services for Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. He showed slides noting a decline in the use of amalgam and a dramatic rise in composite restorations between 1992 and 2009.
The final panelist was Dr. John Hellstein, chair of the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs, who talked about the council's role in helping ADA leaders draft policies on restorative materials and other science topics. He also pointed to resources available online (the EBD website, for example) and in ADA publications and urged everyone in the room to be lifelong learners.
Questions from the audience ran the gamut: the value of dental sealants, the reasoning behind certain insurance company reimbursements, the relative health threats of diseases as disparate as HIV, malaria and dental caries.
Never a dull moment.
Q&A: Audience members listen Oct. 11 to the Open Clinical and Science Forum panel discussion held in Las Vegas.

Media Innovator.
Channel & Station Creator.
Ideacity Producer.
ZoomerMedia Limited Founder.
CARP President.
Moses Znaimer is an internationally renowned Canadian broadcaster and media pioneer, founder of some 20 popular Canadian television channels and stations, including Citytv and MuchMusic. In 2008, Marketing Magazine named Moses one of the Top 10 Canadian Media Moguls Of The Past 100 Years. Currently, he is the Founder and CEO of ZoomerMedia Limited, a unique multi-media company devoted to serving the interests and needs of Canada's 45plus. He is also the President of CARP, Canada's largest Advocacy Association for Canadians As We Age.
In the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, long before Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or MySpace became worldwide phenomena, Moses anticipated the popularity of viewer-generated content and introduced innovations later widely imitated by American and international networks. His groundbreaking concepts such as Speaker's Corner (a video equivalent of print's time honoured; Letters To the Editor), Videography (first-person, hand-held TV reporting), Televised Diversity (ethnic and racial diversity among on-air personalities), and the Streetfront/Studioless Television Operating System were at the core of the over 20 popular and independent Stations and Channels he co-founded and executive produced, including Citytv, CityPulse24, Bravo! – Canada's NewsStyleArtsChannel, SPACE: The Imagination Station, FashionTelevision, Star! – The Entertainment Information Station, Book Television, SexTelevision, ACCESS: The Education Station, and Canadian Learning Television: Television That Teaches; not to mention MuchMusic and MusiquePlus, which served to define a generation of Canadian youth in both official languages. Moses' impact extended throughout the broadcast world with TV co-ventures and licenses in Argentina, Colombia, Finland, and Spain. To permanently commemorate his visionary contribution to Toronto's urban landscape, the City of Toronto designated the famous downtown stretch in front of the former Citytv building at 299 Queen Street West – MOSES ZNAIMER WAY.
In February 2008, Moses emerged as a champion of the Baby Boomer generation, and announced A New Vision Of Aging for the 14.5 million Canadians 45plus (the age of the youngest Boomer at that time). He called them "Zoomers" ("Boomers With Zip!") and has since created a multi-platform organization, comprised of a national non-profit Advocacy Association, national and local television channels and stations, regional radio stations, a national magazine, websites, conferences and trade shows uniquely devoted to serving their interests and needs.
"My insight was that even that massive, market moving and ultra youthful generation known as the Boomers had inevitably to age; and that if they were considered dominant while they were young (because of their size) then surely they must still be dominant even if they were getting older.
And what is old anyway, these days? When does it begin? How should society understand and respond to the deep changes at hand given that we are all, generally speaking, living longer and better? In Canada, that discussion is led, with increasing vigor, by the Advocacy Association known as CARP." – Moses
Moses is the President of CARP, Canada's largest non-profit, non-partisan advocacy association for Canadians as we age, with a network of 54 chapters and ±350,000 members, nationwide. Moses is also the Founder, President and CEO of ZoomerMedia Limited, a public company that trades on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSXV) under the symbol ZUM. ZoomerMedia publishes ZOOMER Magazine, the largest paid circulation magazine in Canada for the 45plus with content aimed at Boomers in the areas of health, finance, travel, sex, longevity, fashion, beauty, style, and life in general. ZoomerMedia also operates a suite of e-newsletters and websites including www.50plus.com – Canada's leading provider of Zoomer-related content; www.CARP.ca – the online voice of CARP; www.zoomers.ca – the social networking site for adults; and www.zoomersingles.com – Mating, Dating & Relating for the 45plus. ZoomerMedia also produces the ZoomerShow in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada's first large scale consumer trade show and lifestyle expo for Zoomers and those who love and/or are responsible for them.
ZoomerMedia also operates The New Classical 96.3 FM & 103.1 FM, English Canada's only commercial all-classical radio stations; and The New AM740 – Zoomer Radio, the last music service playing "The Best of the Best" of adult standards and the original Rock 'n Roll left on the AM dial in the Greater Toronto Area; MZTV P&D, a boutique independent television production and distribution company; and since 2000 Toronto's prestigious three-day ideaCity Conference featuring 50 presenters, each of whom has 17 minutes to speak on a wide range of subjects. In 2008, he introduced the CARPConference, now renamed the ZoomerLife Conference (in conjunction with the annual CARP AGM and Convention), a mini-ideaCity featuring talks on aging, longevity and life extension.
Through connections made at ideaCity 2008, Moses, along with NASA and Google, became the first Associate Founder of Singularity University in Silicon Valley, a facility that mixes top thinkers, scientists, innovators and philanthro-capitalists to find technological solutions to the world's great challenges.
June 2010 marked Moses' official return to television as ZoomerMedia Limited closed on the acquisition of the broadcasting assets of the Vision TV Group, comprising VisionTV, Canada's only English language cable and satellite television analog specialty channel that airs multi-faith, multicultural and family oriented entertainment programming in 10 million homes; the diginet ONE: Body Mind Spirit Love offering programs on yoga and meditation, weight loss and fitness, sex and relationships, natural health and nutrition, and alternative medicine, now available in over 1 million homes; plus two Canadian over-the-air (OTA) television stations JoyTV10 (Vancouver) and JoyTV11 (Winnipeg).
In 1992, Moses started the MZTV Museum of Television & Archive housing the world's largest private collection of rare vintage television sets (from the dawn of image transmission until the arrival of the transistor) and associated popular culture in the world, some 10,000 objects in all. His sets have appeared at Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa/Hull, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff, and at the Cinémathèque québécoise in Montreal, Quebec to which he donated the bulk of his collection in 2008. Selections of his sets are on permanent display in both Montreal and Toronto.
Moses was born during World War II in Kulab, Tajikistan to East European parents of Jewish descent fleeing Nazi persecution. In 1948, he arrived in Montreal, a post-WWII "DP" (Displaced Person). Following an Honours BA in Philosophy and Politics at McGill, he completed an MA in Government at Harvard University. Moses' broadcasting career began at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in the 1960s, where he co-created Canada (and the world's) first live national, open-line radio show, Cross Country Check-Up (still on the air today); and then went on to network television with 20 Million Questions, Take 30 and The Way It is.
Moses holds honourary doctorates from York University, University of Windsor, and Athabasca University. He is also the recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Medal (2002), Order of Ontario (2005) and the Republic of France's Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (2005).
Moses' multiple broadcasting honours include the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' CAB Gold Ribbon (1998) – Canadian private broadcasting's highest award to an individual; Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductee (2004); the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for lifetime achievement (2005); Canadian Film and Television Hall of Fame Inductee (2007); and the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award at the 2008 Juno Awards for his "invaluable contribution to the advancement of the Canadian Music Industry".
For his pioneering promotion of tolerance and multi-culturalism in media, Moses has received The Urban Alliance on Race Relations Diversity Award, the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews Human Relations Award; and the Jane Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award for his "extraordinary contribution to the public realm over many years and in more than one field, thereby gaining reputation and acclaim for his vision, passion, and impact".

Dying With Dignity Announces
Christopher Plummer and Moses Znaimer
Will Become Lead Patrons
Dying With Dignity, the national member-based organization advocating for end-of-life options, has announced that legendary actor Christopher Plummer and Citytv/Bravo!/Space/MuchMusic etc. creator Moses Znaimer, now Founder/CEO of ZoomerMedia Limited and President of CARP – the national association for the 45plus, will be the Lead Patrons in their new Patron Program.
Dying With Dignity supports medically assisted dying only for those who meet strict eligibility guidelines. For example, to be eligible, individuals would have to be mentally competent adults who are not clinically depressed, who are grievously ill with an incurable condition (such as ALS or cancer) and their suffering would have to be unbearable to them.
This past June, Moses invited Wanda Morris, Dying With Dignity Executive Director, to speak at his 2012 ideacity conference in Toronto. Coincidentally, the day after her ideacity Talk, the BC Supreme Court's Justice Lynn Smith handed down her decision in the case of Carter v. Canada, 2012 BCSC 886, ruling that the Criminal Code provisions which prohibit assisted suicide in Canada were unconstitutional: "The risks inherent in permitting physician-assisted death can be identified and very substantially minimized through a carefully-designed system imposing stringent limits that are scrupulously monitored and enforced."
"I was delighted that Dying With Dignity asked me to become a Patron. I absolutely support this cause and the organization. For a long time, I have believed that people should have choice at the end of life. Why would we force people to keep living against their wills. The time has come to change our laws," said Plummer.
In his Zoomer Philosophy in the November 2012 issue of Zoomer magazine, Moses reveals his perspective on the right-to-die movement and CARP members' startling 79 percent response in favour of the idea of physician-assisted suicide for those who are terminally ill or at the end of their lives.
"I believe that precisely because we come into this world without consent, we must have that last measure of control as to when to end it, reliably and painlessly, should we need to do so," writes Moses in his Zoomer Philosophy. The November 2012 issue of Zoomer magazine hits newsstands October 22nd.
"We thank Christopher and Moses for their courage and leadership in raising awareness for this sensitive issue. There is some suffering that only death can end. Terminally ill or grievously ill individuals who want assistance to die cannot legally have it. According to Statistics Canada, the three primary ways that desperate individuals end their lives of unending suffering are hanging, self-poisoning, firearms (men), and jumping off something high or in front of something fast (women). The reality is, it's very hard for them to have a gentle death," said Morris.
Dying With Dignity is a national, member-based, charitable organization and member of the world-federation of Right To Die Societies, 46 organizations from 26 countries to secure and promote the individual's right to self-determination at the end of life. Its mission is to educate the public about improving their quality of dying, to expand end of life options, and ensure that adequate safeguards are in place. Through its Client Support Program, Dying With Dignity provides support for individuals, including bedside support for those who wish to determine the nature and timing of dying. http://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/

Tod Machover Crowdsources a Symphony
The MIT Media Lab founder talks about his symphonic scheme for Toronto.
Machover, as it turns out, isn't just a multimedia whiz; he's also, as of now, a professional Toronto appreciator.
The 2012 Pulitzer Prize nominee was approached by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra to create a new symphony about Toronto for the TSO's 2013 New Creations festival. The resulting work, "A Toronto Symphony: Concerto for Composer and City," will be a collaborative piece built from a bare skeleton of music arranged by Machover and expounded upon by orchestra members, professional and amateur composers, and basically anyone else who has the wherewithal to upload a sound to the web.
Machover envisions an ongoing back-and-forth between himself and participants. "What I would not like," he said in an interview following his IdeaCity presentation, mad scientist hairdo bobbing as he gesticulated, "is if it felt like I've put out a Jell-O mould." In other words, he doesn't want outside contributions to the piece to be edited entirely at his discretion. For the symphony to work as envisioned, the collaboration between Machover and members of the public will have to be real.
Since this process will be happening remotely, Machover has devised a basic structure on which to build the piece: it will be divided into eight segments derived from a mix of Toronto-sourced material (submitted online), Machover's own music, and, sometimes, a combination of the two. Back-and-forth between the Boston-based symphonic architect and local contributors will take place through web-based communication platforms like Skype and Twitter.
It's an undertaking Machover finds appropriate to Toronto. Three decades ago, he lived here while he was first cellist for the Canadian Opera Company's orchestra. He's been coming back to visit ever since, for both personal and professional reasons.
"There was always a tradition of really experimental media connected to artwork and technology [in Toronto]," he says. "New York's always been more segregated between different artistic communities. So, like technology is always outside the museums or outside the orchestras. In Toronto, there's always been a nice blend."
Machover cites interactive artist David Rokeby and human-computer interaction pioneer Bill Buxton (the latter of whom worked at the University of Toronto for many years before becoming a principal researcher at Microsoft Research) as examples of the kinds of people he feels are representative of a uniquely Torontonian type of creative energy.
"You fly into the city, and you can just see the fact that there are no boundaries to the city," he says. "When I stand in the centre of Toronto, I just stand around saying, 'I am so exhilarated.' It makes me soar. The buildings just feel taller than anywhere else, even though they're not the tallest buildings in the world. It's the combination of this openness, and this boom. It's definitely something I feel, and definitely going to be in this piece."
People interested in contributing to Machover's sympony can do so online, right here.

TED talks, fast food for the mind
By Richard Handler, CBC News
Richard Handler is a producer with the CBC Radio program Ideas.
Call it the 18-minute dash. That's the time allotted for a speaker at a TED-style talk, on stage, in front of an audience. Often, it's just the right amount.
I know from my pre-TED days at CBC'sMorningside with Peter Gzowski that we used to schedule 18-minute interviews for many guests.
Eighteen minutes was just satisfying enough to make you feel you've learned or experienced something, without it necessarily going in one ear and out the other (as, for some reason, 20 minutes might).
Eighteen minutes is also now pretty much the norm, which I experienced last week at this year's ideacity 2012 conference in Toronto — three days of a succession of 18-minute talks, pitches, rants, summaries, arguments and personal stories (which we plan to fashion into a series of Ideasbroadcasts in September.)
Ideacity is the brainchild of Moses Znaimer, of City TV and Zoomer Magazine/ZoomerMedia fame, and is based on the TED format (TED standing for Technology, Entertainment, Design), which was started by the architect, author and designer Richard Saul Wurman in 1984.
Today there are TEDs everywhere, in California, the home base, and in authorized satellite centres. And we in the media are "partnering" up almost everywhere you look as well. Why not? There is something for everyone.
The 18-minute TED talk is a hybrid of forms and styles, from stand-up comedy to the personal confessional, the soap-box speech and the advertising pitch. It is intellectual vaudeville and it is clearly finding an audience.
Insufficiently complicated?
Zoomer Media guy Moses Znaimer, the host of ideacity.(Todd Korol / Reuters)Occasionally these talks have come under attack for being insufficiently complicated, deep or sober, and a sign of this culture's short attention span.
The most recent attack was just a few weeks ago, in a short article that once again bemoaned our culture's profound lack of seriousness and blamed the TED phenomenon for being the Twitter generation's version of grad school.
Of course the writer was given only the briefest of op-ed space to make his case. It could be read in less than 18 minutes. And I took his point in a much shorter time than that.
(Even criticism of short formats, it seems, has to be accommodated in the shortest time available; or we'd all get too bored.)
Still, ordinary citizens are not necessarily information gobblers like those of us in the media, even if folks today are busy texting and emailing constantly, as they were at the ideacity conference.
During those talks I would sometimes turn and ask whoever was seated by me whether they had discovered anything new or enlightening in the presentations. The answer was invariably yes.
It was easiest when there was something tangibly new in front of us, like a new product or technology, such as the 3-D copier that can duplicate and spit out real stuff like metal or meat in a specified shape.
But in the realm of ideas — when discussing our degraded environment, the decline of religion in the West or our dysfunctional politics — it's tougher to really excite an audience because they've heard so much of this doom and dread talk before.
Nonetheless, my fellow conference-goers seemed to enjoy this bath of bad news.
Doom can still be made compelling, it seems, when it is spiced with an energetic presentation or a poignant animal, vegetable or human story as in the death of our marine life, northern forests or the most vulnerable among us.
The end of nigh?
If you're cynical, you might call these TED-style talks intellectual consumerism. If you're more generous, they can be seen as simply an open-mindedness that takes in bad news as readily as emails.
As well, the pleasant surroundings, attractive people and excellent nibblies help dispel the gloom about humankind's trials and tribulations.
The theme of this year's ideacity was "The end of nigh!" and asked the question: Should you be optimistic or pessimistic about the future?
The proceedings began with a mournful song by a Grade 5 student, Ta'kaiya Blaney, a First Nations' singer-songwriter from North Vancouver.
It was about pollution and all the bad stuff we have been doing to the environment. (We listened sitting in a gorgeous spare-no-expense setting, Koerner Hall, with carved wood sweeping over the ceiling.)
We also heard economist Jeff Rubin talk about the end of "peak oil," about which he has now written two books and numerous articles.
Roger Martin of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto told us how our financial sector has been turned into a casino. And Gretta Vosper, a United Church minister, recounted how the mainstream churches were in trouble and should examine their empty pews and stagnant thinking.
All of the really bad news was stuck at the beginning. This is smart programming.
For much of the rest of the time we heard about people fighting the good fight, such as Andrew Sharpless, who heads one of the world's largest conservation authorities and is dedicated to saving the world's water; and Pico Iyer, the British-born author who told us to "unplug" and find some solitude; and the science writer Mara Hvistendahl, campaigning against aborting female fetuses the world over; and Preston Manning, arguing that our parliamentarians need specialized training, just like plumbers or doctors.
Interspersed, there was terrific music, a charming magician, a boisterous Quebec comic named Derek Seguin and a talk about sex-crazed insects.
Bad news isn't so bad when it's wrapped in a cloth of entertainment or humour, and people doing good works and coming up with new stuff.
How bad can the world be, you are invited to ask yourself, when bugs are constantly procreating ingeniously and 3D copiers can (theoretically at least) reproduce a meatloaf for dinner, as well as a pair of jeans to wear in the morning.
At the beginning of ideacity 80 per cent of us said we were optimistic, 20 per cent were pessimistic. At the end of the conference, the 80/20 split still held.
TED-style talks, it appears, don't change minds. But they enliven.
The genius of our information culture is that it can turn even distressing thoughts — and certainly hope — into a product, a service, an entertainment, a commodity.
If, in the process, it lets a little light in, well, that's not a bad way to spend 18 minutes at a stretch, even multiplied over three days.

The Princess of Pot in the Big Smoke
Jodie Emery, wife of marijuana activist Marc Emery, spoke at ideacity about why marijuana should be legalized.
In a city that plays host to many thousands of marijuana-rights activists annually at the Toronto Global Marijuana March, the 420 smoke-in, and, most recently, the Treating Yourself Expo, it might seem hard to fathom that people are doing hard time for marijuana-related crimes.
"The war on drugs has always been worse in the United States, but it's getting a lot worse every year in Canada, especially under the ultra-conservative Tories in power with majority government," said Jodie Emery, wife of imprisoned marijuana-rights activist Marc Emery. She was in town this month to speak at Moses Znaimer's ideacity conference.
"Harper's anti-drug crime bills have, for the first time in Canada's history, introduced mandatory-minimum prison sentences for pot," she added. "A policy widely condemned in the United States as an expensive failure in many ways."
According to Emery, mandatory minimums may mean thousands of non-violent Canadians are guaranteed to be imprisoned for increased periods of time, at a cost of billions of tax dollars. In the United States, more than 20 million Americans have been in jail on charges related to marijuana since 1965. To put this is perspective, that would be like combining the population of Ontario and British Columbia, then throwing in a scattering of people from other provinces, and imprisoning them all.
"The prohibition laws cause more harm than does the substance itself," said Emery. "So why does this continue?"
During her impassioned speech at ideacity, Emery spoke of families being separated, of people losing their jobs and their homes, and of people who once used marijuana to manage their illnesses growing sicker behind bars. She emphasized the human cost of the war on drugs, and also the growing support for legalization. According to Emery, polls have long shown that Canadians want marijuana legalized, and that the idea is more and more popular every year, everywhere. An unscientific, digital poll at ideacity showed that the overwhelming majority of those in attendance, 84 per cent, were pro-marijuana (though the poll question didn't ask about legalization or decriminalization specifically).
As Znaimer asked the crowd: does there come a moment when resisting common sense no longer makes sense? Does the dig-your-heels-in attitude of the government simply amount to fanaticism?
"The war on drugs is maintained and advocated for by fanatics. I think that's fair to say," Emery agreed. "They refuse to see the numerous rational, logical reasons why prohibition has failed in so many ways."
According to Emery, some of those failures include no reduction in the problems marijuana laws are supposed to resolve, huge expense to taxpayers and communities, and richer, more powerful gangs with more potent drugs.
"It's not just marijuana activists calling for an end to prohibition," she said. "Politicians, health experts, law enforcement, the judiciary, and so many others are on board. We just need to get citizens and political representatives to make that final push."
That's what Emery aimed to achieve during her talk in Toronto. Her goal was to have the audience take action to help end what she calls a massive, costly, and unjust human-rights crisis.
"Many prohibitionists enjoy the idea of making 'bad people' suffer, and wish to punish all illegal drug users, even though there are many legal drug addicts who don't face criminal persecution and moral condemnation," Emery said, during an interview after her talk. "There is absolutely no good argument to maintain prohibition. None. I've debated it extensively, and all the evidence is easily available to see. Generally, we've won the battle for people's minds, but there's a lot more that we're up against. Gangs and police are the biggest supporters for continuing prohibition, and they have the guns and money. But hopefully people power will win in the end."
ideacity 2012
July 2012
The great city of Toronto saw the usual hustle and bustle of urban life outside the Royal Conservatory of Music between June 13 to June 15. But inside, at the Koerner Hall, it was a different story. It was Ideacity, where some of the finest minds of our planet had come together to share their views of our world and its future.
The brainchild of media legend, Moses Znaimer, Ideacity is now in its 13th year. A constellation of the top talent of the world, Ideacity 13 produced a discussion of brand new thoughts, ideas that have already taken shape and works in progress.
Firebrands produce fireworks. All the speakers, stalwarts in their field, not only motivated the audience but also thoroughly entertained them. They demanded debates on current and pressing issues and set pulses soaring with riveting performances and inspirational speeches.
Be it author or astronomer, technologist or musician, scientist or illusionist – they all had one thing in common. They were idealists.
This year's theme was Teotwawki (The end of the world as we know it). Ideacity's audience began at an overwhelming 81% optimists and remained so even at the end of the conference. It was only a befitting conclusion to the idea that all new beginnings occur from the end of other new beginnings.
Ten year old singer and songwriter, Ta'Kaiya Blaney from
North Vancouver opened the three day extravaganza with a rendition of Oh Canada and then with, Amazing Grace in the Sliammon language and spoke about the significance of culture.
Journalist and TV Host, Richard Syrett spoke about doomsday prophecies and concluded that the idea of the end of the world this year could simply be a reset.
Jeff Rubin, the former Chief Economist at CIBC World Markets established that the single source of energy is oil; whether we travelled by air, water or on land and that all recessions were bound to have oil fingerprints on them. He determined that we could still have the world we want if we allow the world we have known, to go away.
Ecologist, Rex Weyler recounted an experience from the time when he was eleven and living in Oklahoma. He had been able to catch an abundant volume of catfish from an untouched pond and spent an entire summer fishing there. Gradually there was nothing left for him to take. It was then that the realization struck him that along with his brother, he had fished out the pond. He reminded us that we were destroying our real wealth, our rivers, forests and diversity for the sake of false wealth, which is money.
Jodi Emery, the wife of jailed marijuana activist, Marc Emery argued that marijuana had not caused people as much harm as the war against it.
Comedian Derek Seguin made the audience think and laugh.
Eric Weiner, the philosophical traveller, spoke of the importance of 'place' just when we had begun to think that it did not matter where we are today, since we are all so connected. Drawing from the famous adda (intellectual exchange) sessions of the Coffee House in Kolkata in India to the Finnish test of scientific eavesdropping on cell phone users that discovered 82 % of people still asked – where are you, during conversations, he pointed out how where we were, affected who we were. And that indeed, happiness had an address.
Composer Tod Machover created, in collaboration with stellar Canadian musicians, live on stage, the genesis of A Toronto Symphony, a work he is composing with the entire city of Toronto.
Audi Gozlan's meditative stretch break rejuvenated the audience.
One week job worker, Sean Aiken reminded us that finding our true life passion was possible at any age.
Neuroscientist and possibilian, David Eagleman urged us to approach science with humility, given that our knowledge is so limited.
The Lemon Bucket Orkestra took the party outside with its high energy 14 piece band while ace Ilusionist, Simon Coronel had the audience eating out of his hands as he worked wonders with cards.
The ever charismatic author and journalist, Pico Iyer pointed out that to make sense of all the information reaching us today at great speed, we still need isolation and stillness.
Sexologists Ogi Ogas & Sai Gaddam had the rapt attention of the audience with their findings from extensive research and gathered a few chuckles along the way.
David Jay narrated his story of asexuality and argued that the asexual nursed the same urge for connection as anyone else.
Belly-dancer Shivaun Corry traced the origin of many dance movements to Rajasthan in India. Within minutes, she had the audience on their feet and sent them into shimmies of joy.
When BollyFit's Reshmi Chetram came on stage, even the laziest in the audience began to sway to her moves.
Andrew Sharpless, CEO of Oceana, a global network dedicated to catering for the world's water, discussed his work on ocean conservation while Dr. Mark Liponis, a global health leader provided practical tips to personalize ones healthcare.
Dignified Death Advocate Wanda Morris spoke about respecting an individual's right to determine the nature and timing of their death.
Dedicated to the cultivation of the perfect oyster, Brent Petkau used his expertise to promote ecological harmony.
Jiri Hulcr's work focuses on symbioses between different organisms and he spoke about the efficacy of devising smart, simple projects and the involvement of citizen scientists.
Dr. Marcus Laux, a naturopathic physician spoke about how menu, movement and motivation could maximize our DNA destiny.
Michael Kaeshammer, singer, songwriter and pianist worked magic on the piano. A master showman, he added copious doses of humour in his interaction with the audience.
Singer Jann Arden, Physicist Daniel Friedmann, Business Guru Roger Martin, Politician Preston Manning were among many other notable speakers.
The after parties at some of Toronto's trendy venues like Spice Route, C-Lounge and Rosewater Supper Club were grand finales to the non-stop action packed days at Ideacity 13. And if history repeats itself like it usually does, Ideacity 14 promises to be just as enthralling.

Moses Znaimer Tribute To David Onley at the 8th Annual Canadian Hellen Keller Centre Awards Luncheon at Toronto's Royal York Hotel
By now you've all heard the story of how I met and subsequently, hired David for an important, on-camera job, without ever mentioning his disability. And while it's true that what I did then was the right thing to do, I want to take my few minutes here today to explain why it was also the smart thing to do.
At the time, there were no studies, no data to guide me in my decision; no decree of the courts; no force of public opinion; just my own intuitive and intimate knowledge of the truth of the observation that "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"; and that it is only in the grind of opposing forces, under massive pressure, that the diamond is made.
I was the product of 2 frightened Jewish kids who met on the run, she from Poland, he from Latvia, each the sole survivor of their respective families as the German war machine and the Nazi Holocaust worked its murderous way East. In the full flood of the Second World War and with no home, no job, no local contacts and no prospects, he got her pregnant – what were they thinking!?!
And so they sat out the war in a mud hut village called Kulyab, in Tajikistan, where I was born and where her higher education in Math and his resourcefulness saved our lives. When the war ended, the trek re commenced, this time Westward, through many devastated landscapes until, finally, we washed up in a Displaced Persons Camp, (DP) in the Western Zone of Occupied Germany. While there, one distant relative was found who lived in a far away and funny sounding place called Montreal, Quebec Canada.
In an essay, about my early years that appeared in a volume called Passages, published by The Dominion Institute, I made the following observation; for a child, being "stateless" and on the run is not all bad. You see the world, you pick up languages, you hear different kinds of music and eat a variety of foods. You begin to understand the richness of the world and the joys to be had from being open to all kinds of people and cultures. Even before starting grade school, I'd already survived a hazardous trip that crossed many borders. These experiences left me a cocky little kid with a strong sense of self.
Yes, I was aware that we were alone in the world and that there were malevolent forces out there that wished us dead. And over the years, yes, I learned about the tragic history of my people; and yet, all around me, I could also see the astounding record of over achievement of That People: in the arts, in science, and in business. So, when I decided to hire David that day I flashed on all that and knew that I was in fact making a pretty safe bet , a smart bet, on the likelihood that David Onley would rise to the occasion and perfectly fill this important and highly symbolic opportunity I was placing before him.
I knew that what I was betting on was not just someone who would be "as good as" anyone else, not just someone "good enough", but someone with that something extra, a deep focus and a powerful drive that cannot be created in any other way.
Just to cope with their situation, even the most ordinary person with a disability must become extraordinary. Thus is challenge turned into a spring board. The logic that drives such people is: if you start from behind you have to run that much harder just to catch up. But, once in motion, that very momentum can carry you to the front of the pack.
Almost everyone remembered for their greatness has had to overcome obstacles in their path; their perseverance akin to obstinacy. If they suffered weakness in one faculty or area, that called forth compensation in another.
What ties all these people together is a knack for seeing opportunity in the apparently crappy hand they've been dealt, a veritable genius for exchanging the pessimism that would normally be expected into surprising astonishing optimism. Helen Keller, perhaps the most famous "handicapped" person in history, wrote "No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an unchartered land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. I thank God for my handicaps, for through them I have found myself, my work and my God".
The man we are honouring here today has achieved precisely what Teddie Roosevelt had in mind when he said "Do what you can with what you have". My version of the same thought is: "The purpose of life is to get better. No matter where you start or what you're given, your job, your glory, is to better yourself and make things around you better.
And to the world out there I say, as exceptional as David Onley is, and as inspiring his story, he'll be the first to tell you there are many more just like him. Any community is only as strong as it is diverse. The perspective and tenacity that people with disabilities need to succeed often lead to original insights and society would be well served to foster this resource.
Thank you.

Moses Znaimer to Present
Lt. Governor, the Hon. David C. Onley with
Canadian Helen Keller Centre Award at 8th
Annual Luncheon
Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 12noon
Concert Hall, Fairmont Royal York
Moses Znaimer has always been a champion of diversity and courageous in his casting of the human rainbow. In 1984, he hired polio survivor David Onley as a weather and science specialist establishing himself as the first broadcaster to hire a reporter with a physical disability. Moses made a special point of shooting his entire body, versus just a talking head.
According to the now Hon. Onley, "Moses hired me as weather and science specialist at Citytv and it was only after he had hired me that he asked me about my disability. That's when I knew I was going to enjoy working for the guy. Obviously what he did was important for my career but more importantly, it sent a message to TV viewers everywhere that my physical shortcomings were irrelevant. What counted was my ability to do the job."
This luncheon brings the them together for a very special tribute.

The CHKC is the only residential training centre in Canada for deaf-blind persons. The CHKC services help people develop alternate ways to care for oneself, one's family and one's home. The CHKC also facilitates connections to peers and the community through the development of alternative forms of communication, computing and through self-advocacy and peer support.

Classical's Coming To Collingwood
MZ Media Inc. Announces CRTC Approval To Launch New Classical Music FM Radio Station in Collingwood Region
Toronto, ON: MZ Media Inc. has announced that the CRTC approved their application for a broadcasting licence to operate a new specialty Classical Music FM radio station based in Collingwood and serving the area north of Toronto popularly known as Cottage Country. The new service will broadcast the world's greatest classical music plus arts billboards, community messages, public service announcements, regional information, and local traffic and weather updates.
MZ Media Inc. owns and operates Toronto-based The New Classical 96.3 FM (CFMZ-FM) & The New Classical 103.1 FM (CFMX-FM) in Cobourg, English Canada's only commercial all-classical music radio stations.
"We've got the licence and expect to find an appropriate FM frequency within 90 days which will bring this unique Classical Music and Fine Arts service to communities such as The Towns of the Blue Mountains, Wasaga Beach, Meaford, Creemore, Midland, Penetanguishene, and Port Severn, in addition to Collingwood. The area is a magnet for talented, arts oriented, well-educated Zoomers who need an over-the-air outlet for their musical tastes, plus regional news, in particular pertaining to the visual and performing arts, and crafts," said media pioneer Moses Znaimer, Founder and CEO of ZoomerMedia Limited.
ZoomerMedia owns and operates MZ Media Inc. and is Canada's only diversified multi-media company devoted to content serving Canada's 14.8 million 45plus demographic aka Zoomers (Boomers With Zip!).
From Mozart and movie music to Offenbach and opera, Collingwood area residents will be treated to the Greatest Music Of All Time with veteran classical jocks like the morning show's Mike Duncan & Jean Stilwell, Afternoon Oasis' Alexa Petrenko, A Little Night Music's John Van Driel, and Nocturne's Marilyn Lightstone. Listeners will also hear Live From The Concert Lobby performances from great classical and crossover artists like superstar soprano Measha Brueggergosman, Grammy Award-winning pianist Lang Lang; and vocal sensations Il Divo, The Priests, plus Libby Znaimer's ever-popular Zoomer Reports.
Zoomers are a robust and flourishing segment of the area's population, in 2010 comprising a majority 52.7 per cent. The CRTC recognized that a new Classical Music radio service would reflect their currently underserved musical interests and provide local arts organizations such as the Collingwood Arts Centre, the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts, Authors by the Bay, the
Collingwood Music Festival, and the Meaford Museum, with the opportunity to reach this audience that does not relate to mainstream commercial radio.
"It's a fact that classical radio reaches the most affluent, well-educated, traveled, and cultured listeners, that is to say, the Zoomers. Our Collingwood-based station will provide advertisers in the region with a rare new opportunity to connect with this coveted generation and grow their businesses and events," said George Grant, President & CEO, MZ Media Inc.

Call For Submissions: Timeless * Zoomers and Immortality
Thursday, July 14, 2011
Timeless * Zoomers and Immortality, An Exhibition Curated by Moses Znaimer. In collaboration with Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts. Deadline September 23, 2011
Since time immemorial, humans have used the visual arts to both define and understand that which is timeless. Through procreation, through knowledge and belief systems and the creation of works of art and architecture, we have tried to create that which can withstand the confines of time. One might say we have striven to achieve a measure of immortality.
But, does time actually exist, or is it merely an invention we use to measure change? As Zoomers and Artists, what are we creating that might survive the ebb and flow of time? Click here to read more (PDF).

These are songs that Moses has listened to all his life … mellow, moving and meaningful, without the cynicism of much of today's pop music. "Like the music we play on The New AM 740 – Zoomer Radio, these are tunes from an age when the music's tempo was slower, when you could still make out the words, and people still believed in love," says Moses.

8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Neighborhoods: South Beach, Central East
Great Corporate Shuttle Model – Before I relocated from SF area to the mid-west I worked for Yahoo and used Bauer's to get to and from work. Boy, I miss it so much! My friends and family envied me when I didn't have to drive in traffic and could take a luxury bus to work where I could get my work done and just relax. I wrote an email to the owner thanking him for this service they provide for Yahoo and asking them to expand into other states. More companies should have that kind of service for their employees!
Great Company – the other reviews pretty much say it all (the good ones), the bad reviews should not be paid attention to, especially when they are nasty and bitter. Come on, if everyone gives this company 5 star review will you believe the negative person who is miserable and has nothing else to do but sit there and trash different companies on this website? I have personally had many great experiences using Bauer's services. Very dedicated management, impressive operation!.
Miss them at Google – Really enjoyed Bauer's when they were our transportation company at Google, don't think we have found a company that is nearly as good overall. Enjoyed their nice busses, the image they created, the promptness of pick ups, etc, etc.
Excellent Company – This is a great company. I've used it many times as well as many other limousine companies in many other cities in this country (so, I have something to compare them with), these guys are definitely at the top of my list. Very professional, reliable service. Great vehicles. They are also a green company and I've read they got many awards for being the industry leader. Great staff to deal with. They have been around for over 20 years
Industry Leader – am impressed with what Bauer's does for all these different companies like Yahoo, Facebook, etc. They created an awsome business model in the transportation industry that no one even thought of before! Employee shuttles is brilliant. I work for Facebook and ride Bauer's shuttle every day! It prolongs my life! No stress with dealing with traffic, get my work done on the bus. Very luxurious interior, comfortabe seats with TV's and internet. Unbelievable! My friends in other states wish they had similar services..
BAUER SHOULD HIRE BETTER, MORE PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS! – OMG! I saw a review on City search stating that BAUER'S BUS CAUGHT ON FIRE.... Is that true??? I don't want to be a BBQing... Good thing that I haven't used their services--Bauer hires too many careless/speeding bus drivers; I strongly agree with Kristine J that Bauer should consider hiring BETTER, more PROFESSIONAL bus drivers.
Please feel free to contact the GM at Bauer's Transportation for any issue present or past. I bring 6+ years of quality service from Carey Worldwide Transportation along with other key members our excutive team, we are determined to only provide the highest quality of service and safety to our valued customers. One of the largest high tech companies in the world trust us and I confident you will as well. Thanks and have an outstanding day.
Bauer's Bus caught on fire! – Can you believe the fire on the Bauer's bus? I saw this clip at NBC11 dot com web site file number /news/11441545/detail.html# and was thankful none of my friends rented from this company.
BAUER GM REALLY DO NOT CARE FOR CUSTOMERS SAFETY.... – I don't know if it was a miscommunication, but I was told that Bauer's Transportation don't care about customer service and safety. They hire too many careless drivers who drives at 80-90mph on freeway or tailgate another vehicle on a highway with one lane in each direction. People saw policemen stopped Bauer's buses on freeway... It was very frightening to sit in a shuttle/bus from those careless drivers. Therefore, i strongly recommend that the head of Safety and Training officer should look into this issue.
I didn't know that Bauer do all the transportation for Google.... GOOGLE EMPLOYEES... BECAREFUL!!!!!
Bauer's Limousine stole $3600.37 from me. Beware of doing business with them. I ordered a limo from them -- a top-of-the-line model and instead, they sent a clunker (the lowest model). it was like ordering a rolls royce and getting a 1984 chevy nova held together by duct tape. and afterwards, Rick would not return my calls. they refused to send any sort of refund. I would highly encourage you not to do business with Bauer's Limousine.

Part 4: SBA's contracting practices under close scrutiny
In part 4 of Federal News Radio's investigative series "Discouraged and Disrespected at SBA," allegations of cronyism and conflict of interest in the acquisition process arise. Over the past year, lawmakers and auditors have raised concerns about the agency's acquisition practices. SBA officials deny the accusations and say they are strengthening their acquisition processes.

Increased security and efficiency through biometrics
In some situations, the use of keycards may not be suitable or sufficient. They can be lost, forgotten, given to someone else or manipulated. Some security environments require an exact verification of the user's identity, which adds significantly to costs when done manually.
The most accurate and cost-efficient way to identify people is through biometric fingerprint systems. This is where Kaba is a leading specialist. A fingerprint cannot be stolen, which reduces security risk. It cannot be given to a colleague (by an employee), hence no more buddy punching. And a biometric fingerprint system costs a lot less than security guards.
Kaba workforce management terminals and locking systems can be programmed to use fingerprint identification as the sole identity medium or in addition to a keycard for verification purposes. This provides a fast, convenient and easy way to ensure unique user identification.
Additional biometric technologies (e. g. iris scanning) can be easily integrated at any time thanks to existing interfaces.
- Choice of identification (biometric fingerprint systems used instead of keycards) or verification of identity (biometric fingerprint systems used in addition to keycards).
- Significant savings as there are no false bookings or corrections. There are no keycard production costs when biometric fingerprint systems are used as the sole identity medium.
- Offers legal certainty – you know for sure who was identified and when.
- Biometric terminals are simple to use. No employee training required.
- Data protection as the fingerprints cannot be copied or reconstructed.
- Biometric fingerprint identities can be distributed to terminals at several sites instantly, so your employees are logged on immediately wherever they are.
Biometric fingerprint systems are recommended in the following situations:
- Where additional verification is required for security reasons before access is permitted, e.g. to protect alarm centres, archives and data centres.
- Where a biometric fingerprint solution is required for convenience, for example in areas used by board members.
- Where hygiene regulations do not permit the carrying of additional objects such as keycards or keys, for example in laboratories and clean rooms.
- Where contactless verification is required for hygiene reasons, for example in operating rooms and research centres.

Z-Man® Scented ShrimpZ™
- Extremely durable 10X Tough ElaZtech® construction
- Lifelike shrimp body with hook slot for weedless rigging
- Impregnated with 100% natural scents
- Effective on saltwater gamefish
Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by alpinebill one bait lasts all day My wife and I fished for speckled trout in Redfish Bay near Corpus Christi, TX. Each of us caught at least 30 trout without changing baits. Even piggy perch are no match for these baits. They last far longer than the "famous" brand and have become our bait of choice. May 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stripermaniac The secret is out After years of using Berkley Gulp I discovered Z-Man products while searching the internet for a more durable yet eco-friendly alternative to traditional soft plastics. Needless to say this is a secret that can no longer be kept. All of the Z-Man products are non-toxic and extremely durable. When fishing the turtle grass flats of Florida pinfish and little grunts are notorious Gulp and shrimp destroyers. With the Z-Man shrimp I can catch a dozen seatrout and several redfish before finally retiring a single bait. Gulp shrimp does offer a scent trail that is second to none but they are expensive and not very durable compared to the Z-Man products. Oh well, the word is out. Have some fun :) RIP Jose Wejebe April 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stxgoalie24 Great Bait!! This bait was my replacement for Gulp shrimp. Besides puffer fish, they are indestructible. Even when the puffer bit the shrimp in half, I was still able to land a 16" spec trout with just the upper half!! New penny is probably the best color in my opinion. March 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ultragator Z-Man baits # 1 in salt water! With out a doubt Z-man Soft Plastic baits are A secret that once used you will NOT want a Gulp unless thhey are OUT of Z-man! Not only do Z-man soft plastics "Stretch" to high Heaven" which gives you the ability to catch more fish using less bait, I ve caught 10-12 trout on 1 bait and the reason I changed the bait then was the hook wallowed out the bait so it was no longer tight on the hook! 12 fish 1 bait go figure! The fish just do NOT bite the tails off the bait! "Brilliant"! March 19, 2013
