900 W 38th St Ste 400, Austin, TX | Directions 7870530.305297 -97.741158
Neighborhoods: West University, Central Austin
I was a patient of Dr Haro for 8 YEARS, there were some waits when the Office & Doctor were truly busy (undoubtedly doing the extra talking & testing often needed by the ever phantom 'chronic pain' many of us suffer). But I was always treated by the Dr & his PA with the utmost respect; the front desk was often very unprofessional - having parties & going to lunches - as admins often will do in an office environment; they just forget that they have "people in pain" in their waiting room, or maybe they DON'T and are just basically uncomfortable with us - as we are with our PAIN. (You might have guessed that I'm an Admin, or was, medically retired, myself). If I was still in Austin, or if Dr. Haro would relocate to my little hick town - I'd be first in line to be in his waiting room!
Thanks for the years of caring.
Dr Haro is a great doctor – I have been seeing Dr Haro now for over 15 years. Sure, most of my appointments are with the PA's, but they always take the time to go over any new problems I may be having, making sure the medicine I'm taking is working and they are always familiar with my case. As far as Dr. Haro goes, whenever I do see him, he always knows everything about me before he steps into the exam room. He never guarantees that any procedure will definitely work and always makes sure that he explains everything in detail and answers all questions to my satisfaction. As far as having a long waiting time, if they didn't know what they were doing in his ofice they wouldn't have so many patients. I would recommend this office to anybody that has chronic pain and needs long term care.
worst pain doctor in austin – When I first saw Dr. Dasai I was immediatedly dissatisfied with him. He automatically changed my meds and told me that, in spite of what every other doctor i had seen told me, that this was not the cause of my pain. I gave him a chance to prove to me that he had a clue about what he was talking about. When i showed up for the first set of injections he treated me like a child then he couldnt even remember me!
Then when i spoke to him about the medications he put me on offering little relief from my pain he told me that he would not go back to what i was previously taking. Then to top it all when i called his office because of this debilitating pain and no relief he told the nurse to tell me that they would no longer presribe any opiate pain medicine and that i should be referred to an addiction specialist. Very negitive and for the two months i saw him i was placed on probation at work for missing too many days due to my back pain. Thanks for nothing Dr. Desai I too would not send my worst enemy to this man Shame on you Dr. Desai
oh yeah i forgot to mention that after the injectios he gave me my left hand is now numb and i have no feeling in my thumb
The worst experience I have ever had – I first saw Dr. Desai. He seemed nice enough. Prescribed the same pain medication that I was already on. I really did not want that. I wanted help. I did not receive that. What I got was a ration of stuff. Many times playing phone tag but waiting by the phone and never getting called back. A very nasty Medical assistant named Cathy was insistant that my urine showed Morphine. I offered to come in and take the test again insisting that I had never done morphine. I had however had surgery about 72 hours prior to the urine test. I tried to explain this to her. She was not listening to me. I did do some things wrong. But in my defense, I also tried numerous times to get in touch with Rachel the P.A. Never did. I guess she does not return phone calls. I took a urine test at my G.P. It tested for everything. The only thing that showed up was the medication that I was on. It was a horrible experience. I would not rec. this office to my worst enemy.
I found a pain management doctor that has helped me tremendously. Prescribing medication that actually helped.
Dr. Haro – Is a good Dr....plain and simple the man knows his stuff - I had been to doctors that couldn't diagnose my condition, he did within 8 - 10 months of treatment. His staff is professional and I recommend him.
I think those that wrote negative comments just got cut off their meds or something....
I wouldn't trust my health to another pain management physician in town – I usually don't write reviews but after reading the other 2 negative reviews, I felt compelled to give my opinion as well. I have been seeing Dr. Haro for 8 years now. He has never promised me a cure for my chronic pain. He has been the only doctor to listen me without dismissing me in the first 2 minutes. He has recommended different types of things to help me with my pain. Some have worked, some haven't. What he HAS asked of me is that I actively participate in my care. He didn't just prescribe meds and let me live my life in a daze like some other doctors in town. My family and I owe my quality of life to him.
Avoid. Period. – I have been having PAINFUL muscle spasms for years. Dr. Haro decided to inject some steroids directly into my spinal column. It was a very uncomfortable procedure, but he promised great results. Within a couple of days, my back went into serious spasm and I spent the evening at the ER in tears. The painful injection did absolutely nothing. I won't go back. Not to mention every time I went there, I had to wait a long, long time to see the Dr. Not a pleasant experience.
Poor service and bedside manner – I went to Dr. Haro for neck pain, but was extremely disappointed. I could never get through to the receptionist and always had to leave messages and play phone tag with her to make an appointment. The office staff is rather stupid and won't even call in a prescription for you. I always had to wait at least 20 minutes and more likely an hour and sometimes more to see the doctor or the PA. The worst part it is, they act like seeing Dr. Haro is like seeing the Wizard of Oz and instead make you see the PA who doesn't really know what is going on. She just tried to get me to take every medication she could think of and most didn't work. When I did get to see Dr. Haro he never took the time to talk to me and it was obvious he wasn't familiar with my case. I had several very serious procedures done there including RFC (?) and trigger point injections, both which made my condition worse. I will say for those the team is extremely efficient and nice, but Dr. Haro spends all of 2 seconds with you before sticking needles into your neck. When I asked him questions like "How long will the effects of the procedure last," he always gave vague answers and looked at his watch like he had somewhere to be. All in all I got no pain relief from this office except from the medications which just cover up the problem. I do not recommend this doctor at all!

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.

Lana Del Rey
Lizzy Grant which is now known as Lana Del Rey is a retro 60s - sounding pop or alternative. The first time I heard her music I couldnt stop. Its just so mesmorizing with its relative songs. Also Lana Del Reys music videos are a work of vintage art on their own. Not to mention the creative poetic like lyrics. An enchanting voice that gives you goosebumbs and eargasms. This modern day Marilyn Monroe has a steamy sexy appearence to top it all off.

About the tax
Who pays the tax
Filing & paying the tax
Refund request
I do not owe the tax. Do I still need to file?
Yes. Every adult resident must either file the tax return or the exemption request. If you live in a household above the federal poverty level, but you have less than $1,000 of annual income, indicate "No" when asked if you are an "income earner". If your only income is from Social Security benefits, pension benefits from the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), pension benefits from the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or interest income from US Treasury bill notes and bonds, indicate "No" when asked if you are an "income earner". If your primary source of annual income are those listed previously and any other income you have is less than $1,000, indicate "No" when asked if you are an "income earner". Do not pay the $35 tax.
The Arts Education and Access Income Tax was approved by Portland voters in the November 6, 2012 general election (Ballot Measure 26-146).
2012 was the first tax year. The due date for the 2013 tax year is April 15, 2014.
$35 per person.
Net revenues are dispersed to six (6) Portland school districts and to the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC). The money helps arts and music teachers for K-5 students and arts programs citywide.
Why wasn't this tax added to property tax bills or water bills?
Any bill sent to a specific residential property (like the property tax or the water bill) will not know the number of adults that should pay the tax. For example, the property tax bill for an apartment complex with 50 units will go to the property manager or property owner, not the individuals who rent the units. There could be 50 or more individuals at that one complex that owe the tax, yet only one property tax bill is issued. Similarly, the water bill does not include any information about how many adults live at the residential address or how many have income.
Is the Arts Tax prohibited under the Oregon Constitution as a poll or head tax?
No. In Wittemyer v. City of Portland, the Multnomah County Circuit Court ruled on June 21, 2013, that "the Arts Tax is not a Poll or Head tax as prohibited by the Oregon Constitution. … The Arts Tax is not a head or poll tax because it is not assessed per capita. In assessing the tax, the City considers a person's income in three distinct provisions: the tax applies only to (l) income exceeding $ 1,000, (2) non-exempt income sources, and (3) income of individuals residing in households with income above the federal poverty guidelines. Taxpayers who are under the age of 18 are exempt from the tax. The practical effect of the tax is to tax income of certain City residents within a certain income range and is therefore not a poll or head tax."
Why do you need the last four (4) digits of my social security number (SSN) and my year of birth?
The IRS and Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR) require a full SSN. Additionally, the DOR requires the complete date of birth to individually identify taxfilers; we only need the last four (4) digits of your SSN and your year of birth to accomplish this. For example, according to the White Pages, there are at least 10 men named John Smith living in Portland but none of them have exactly the same year of birth and SSN. Having the last four (4) digits of the SSN and year of birth ensures we do not confuse one for another. We also need the year of birth to ensure we do not assess the tax on someone under 18 years old. Supplying the City with these two (2) key pieces of information will help ensure that your tax payment is properly credited in your name.
How was the 2012 Arts Tax money distributed?
We have posted the Tax Year 2012 Arts Tax Distributions on the Arts Tax Distributions page.
City of Portland residents 18 years or older who have $1,000 or more of annual income and are in a household above the federal poverty level. If your household's annual income is at or below the federal poverty level, you may request an exemption. If you move in or out of Portland during 2013, you still must pay the entire $35 tax.
These Portland residents do not pay the Arts Tax:
How do I know if my address is in Portland?
If you are in Multnomah County, you can easily check your address in Portland Maps to see if you are within the city limits of Portland. Go to www.portlandmaps.com and enter your address. Click on the "Assessor" link towards the top of the page. Check your Tax Districts within the "Property Description" section. Tax District 130 is the City of Portland. If your address has this tax district, you reside within the City of Portland.
If you are in Clackamas County, you can check your address at http://web3.co.clackamas.or.us/taxstatements. If your property tax statement indicates that you have been assessed property taxes by the City of Portland (City Portland), then you are considered a Portland resident.
If you are in Washington County, you can check your address at http://www.co.washington.or.us/AssessmentTaxation/taxstatements.cfm. If your property tax statement indicates that you have been assessed property taxes by the City of Portland (City - Portland), then you are considered a Portland resident.
What is the federal poverty level?
The federal poverty guideline is issued each year in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The guidelines are used for administrative purposes — for instance, determining financial eligibility for certain federal programs. The Arts Tax uses this guideline for determining whether a household is exempt from paying the tax.
2013 Poverty Guideline
|Persons in Household
|Poverty Guideline
For households with more than eight (8) persons, add $4,020 for each additional person.
If I work and my spouse doesn't, do we owe $35 or $70?
In cases where one spouse is "income earning", there would only be one person subject to the $35 tax. If the non-working spouse earned more than $999.99 of annual income, they are "income-earning" and would need to pay the tax, so $70 would be due. For more information about what income is considered, please see the FAQ "When determining if a resident is "income earning", what income is considered?"
Do adult children living at home pay the tax?
Adult children living with their parents who earned less than $1,000 of income in 2013 do not pay the tax. Adult children can be added to their parent's tax filing. Indicate whether they have income and owe the $35 tax or if they have annual income under $1,000 and don't owe the tax.
If you are claiming non-taxable income because your only source of income is non-taxable (benefits paid by: Social Security (SS), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), federal Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 (RR), Oregon Public Employee Retirement System (PERS), federal retirement benefits (FERS and CSRS), United States Treasury interest (USTI), or any combination of these benefits), you must send a copy of your 2013 federal tax return and all that apply:
All claims of non-taxable income must have a 2013 federal tax return attached
If you do not have supporting documents or did not file a federal tax return, you must complete federal form 4506-T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return, record of account) or a statement why you cannot provide documentation in the case where you are submitting the claim on behalf of another person. Form 4506-T is available online at: www.portlandoregon.gov/revenue/4506T.
If the student earned more than $999.99 of income in 2013 and is a Portland resident, 18 or over, and in a household that is above the federal poverty level, they would pay the tax. It does not matter where they attend school. Generally, college students are considered Portland residents if they come home to Portland during school breaks.
What if I live in Portland only part time?
There is no proration of the $35 tax. You would be subject to the full $35 tax even if you were a resident of Portland for any part of the year.
I lived in Portland in 2013 and then moved out of Portland in 2014. Do I need to pay the tax?
Yes. Since you resided in Portland during 2013, you would be subject to the tax (due April 15, 2014). You would also be subject to the 2014 tax (due April 15, 2015) because you lived in Portland for a portion of 2014. If you did not live in Portland in 2015, you would not need to file and pay for 2015 (due April 15, 2016). If you do not currently live in Portland when you are preparing your Arts Tax return, you should give your Portland address (before moving out) on your return.
No. The tax is due from residents who are 18 or older.
When determining if a resident is "income earning", what income is considered?
All income is considered, regardless of amount. Income can be from wages, self-employment, investments, rentals, retirement, disability, unemployment, spousal/child support, or any other source. "Income" does not include any income a city is prohibited from taxing by state or federal laws.
On the Arts Tax Return (or Tax Info form online) select 'No' to the questions "Income Earner?" if:
Income for purposes of the household exemption (being at or below the federal poverty level) is defined differently. Refer to that definition if you think you qualify for an exemption from the tax. You must file the exemption form and supporting tax documents by April 15, 2014.
If you are claiming non-taxable income because your only source of income is non-taxable (benefits paid by: Social Security (SS), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), federal Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 (RR), Oregon Public Employee Retirement System (PERS), federal retirement benefits (FERS and CSRS), United States Treasury interest (USTI), or any combination of these benefits), you must send a copy of your 2013 federal tax return and any of the following that apply:
Again, all claims of non-taxable income must have a 2013 federal tax return attached
If you do not have supporting documents or did not file a federal tax return, you must complete federal form 4506-T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return, record of account) or a statement why you cannot provide documentation in the case where you are submitting the return on behalf of another person. Form 4506-T is available online at: www.portlandoregon.gov/revenue/4506T.
If I just turned 18, do I have to file and/or pay the tax?
If you were 18 years old by December 31, 2013, you must file and pay (if your annual income was $1,000 or more) the tax for 2013. If you live with your parents, they may include you on their tax filing.
If you had less than $999.99 of annual income, you would select "No" on the "Income earner?" line of the Arts Tax Return (or Tax Info form online).
If you are included in a household that is at or below the federal poverty level, you must be included in the exemption filing for the household. Any income you have must be added into your household's income to determine if your household qualifies for the exemption.
When considering whether a household's income is at or below the poverty level, are two roommates (as opposed to domestic partners) considered one or two households?
If the roommates are financially independent and are merely sharing the housing expenses, they would be considered two (2) separate households (even though they are occupying the same residence). For more information about what income is considered, please see the FAQ "When determining if a resident is "income earning", what income is considered?"
Every year on April 15.
No. A filing reminder will be mailed on or around March 15, 2014. Remember that you are required to file even if you are do not owe the tax. Providing your email address when you file, whether online or printed form, will allow the Revenue Bureau to send you an electronic reminder notice next year.
If you need to pay your 2012 tax bill, go to "Pay an Arts Tax Bill" and use the confirmation number on your bill to pay.
Yes. Online filing is available for both filing the tax return (e.g., paying the tax) and for requesting an exemption. Go to www.portlandoregon.gov/artstax and select "File an Arts Tax return" to pay or "Request an exemption" to file an exemption request.
Yes. Go to www.portlandoregon.gov/artstax and select "File an Arts Tax return" to pay the tax.
Is there a convenience fee for credit cards and debit cards charged as credit?
People filing for 2013 Arts Tax will not be charged a convenience fee for credit cards and debit cards charged as credit.
People paying a 2012 bill or filing for the 2012 tax year will be charged a 99-cent (99¢) convenience fee for credit cards and debit cards charged as credit.
Does the Revenue Bureau accept debit cards?
Yes. The Revenue Bureau accepts debit cards charged as credit.
Is my online transaction secure?
Yes. The site is encrypted and includes visual clues (e.g., closed padlock symbol in the browser). You can view the security certificates by clicking on the padlock.
Does the City store my online credit or debit card or electronic check (ACH) information?
Only if you choose the "split payment" option (two $18 charges) and then only until the second transaction has processed. The City does not retain credit or debit card information after a single transaction has cleared or after the second of two transactions has cleared.
How soon will my online payment post to show that I have paid this year's tax?
Your payment will post to your account on the next business day.
Can I cancel a payment I just made online?
Yes, but not online. All requests for online payment cancellation must be received before 5pm on the same day the payment was made. Call 503-865-4278, Monday through Friday, 8:00am until 5:00pm, except holidays.
What are the acceptable forms of payment?
In person:
By Mail:
American Express and Discover cards are not accepted at this time.
I want to pay with cash. How can I do that?
Cash is accepted at our office in downtown Portland. Our address is 111 SW Columbia St., Suite 600. Please do not mail cash.
Do you go by postmark or received date?
Postmark. A payment is considered timely if it is postmarked on or before April 15, 2014.
Yes. However, to reduce administrative costs and the environmental impact of mailing paper forms, and to maximize revenue to local schools and non-profits we ask people with Internet access to file online at www.portlandoregon.gov/artstax. Both forms, ARTS2013 (to pay the tax) and ARTX2013 (to request a poverty exemption) can be downloaded, just click the link on the form name. Forms are also available at our office at 111 SW Columbia St., Suite 600, Portland, Oregon 97201. Finally, we can email the forms to you.
No. Federal and state income tax extensions are for time to file, not time to pay, and the Arts Tax form is actually easier to complete than a federal extension form. Filing for the Arts Tax requires only five (5) pieces of information: name, address, email address, last four (4) digits of your Social Security Number (SSN) and your year of birth.
Yes. Taxpayers can pay the tax in two (2) payments. There is a $1.00 per person split payment fee. The first payment is due on or before April 15. The second payment is due on May 15.
What's the penalty for not paying or filing on time?
If I claim to be exempt from the tax by being under the federal poverty level, what type of documentation would I be required to provide in order to verify my income level?
You must send documents that support your household exemption claim. If you request an exemption online you have the option of uploading your documents at the time you make your online request.
You must provide verification documents in order for your exemption to be approved. Please provide a signed copy of your 2013 federal Form 1040 (page 1 and 2). If you are unable to provide this return (for example, you are not subject to the Form 1040 filing requirements), you can provide a copy of a public assistance award letter for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) AND TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) benefits. If you cannot provide any of these you must provide a completed 2013 federal Form 4506-T (record of account). You can print this form from our website www.portlandoregon.gov/artstax (or www.artstax.net). Please go to our exemptions website if you need more information about exemptions.
Other supporting documents may also be accepted for certain kinds of income. If you have questions, please contact us.
Failure to provide information supporting your exemption will result in denial of your exemption.
Will there be employer withholding?
Can I pay the tax for someone else?
Yes, you may file and pay the tax for any adult, even if they don't live with you. If you file online (at www.artstax.net), first you will be asked for your Portland home address (this could be your home address or the address of the person/people you are filing for), billing email, and for the number of taxfilers (you can file for income earning and non-income earning adults). The billing email address and home address will copy to all taxfilers but you can change this information for any (or all) taxfilers. You may file for another adult, your spouse, a parent, or an adult child. You will then be able to pay for everyone in a single payment transaction. If you live outside of Portland you can also file for someone who does live in Portland.
Is my Arts Tax payment tax deductible?
Taxpayers that itemize deductions on their federal income tax return will generally be able to deduct their Arts Tax payment on their 2014 Schedule A (as State and Local Income Taxes). Consult your tax advisor if you have questions.
What browsers, platforms, and settings are suggested for online payments and exemption requests?
The Arts Tax website was primarily designed for and tested on PCs running Windows XP or Windows 7, using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. The bureau performed successful Arts Tax transactions in limited testing on alternative platforms such as Apple computers, mobile phones, and tablets using the top five U.S. browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera); however, some users of alternative platforms and browsers may experience issues. Security settings, browser add-ons, and features being turned off may all result in issues or the inability to save the receipt as a PDF.
What is CAPTCHA and why is it used in the online pay the tax form?
The term CAPTCHA (or Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University. At the time, they developed the first CAPTCHA to be used by Yahoo.
A CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer. CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from "bots," or automated programs usually written to generate spam. Computer programs generally cannot read distorted text images as well as humans, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by a CAPTCHA. The CAPTCHA presents these images for humans to decipher as a part of their normal validation procedures.
CAPTCHAs must be accessible. CAPTCHAs based solely on reading text — or other visual-perception tasks — prevent visually impaired users from accessing the protected resource. Such CAPTCHAs may make a site incompatible with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 USC 794d) in the United States. Any implementation of a CAPTCHA should allow blind users to get around the barrier, for example, by permitting users to opt for an audio CAPTCHA. The City of Portland has selected reCAPTCHA to meet this accessibility need.
I paid the Arts Tax in error. How do I get a refund?
You will need to complete the Arts Tax Refund Request form (AREF 2013) form within 90 days of payment. You must file the form by that date or you waive your right to receive a refund. Please call us at 503-865-4278 if you have questions.
Why do you need my full Social Security number to issue my refund?
IRS regulations require the City to file a 1099 GOV for any income tax refund of $10 or more. All 1099's require the full Social Security number when transmitted to the IRS
I paid the Arts Tax in error, but I want to support the arts. Can I donate some or all of the money to the program?
Yes. If you do not want a refund of any of the tax you paid, there is nothing you need to do.
A serious security vulnerability known as "Heartbleed" was recently discovered in OpenSSL, a popular software library commonly used by many websites on the internet to encrypt communication between a user's computer and a web server.
PortlandOregon.gov is NOT affected by this vulnerability as it does not use the OpenSSL software library. Please rest assured we are dedicated to protecting your security on this website.

Pizza >Luciano's Pizza & Pasta
1030 Clifton Rd, Bethel Park, PA | Directions 1510240.297694 -80.044919
Past Their Prime – I would have to agree good pizza. I live 1 mile from the Bethel Park location and had ordered frequently. Now I do not even think to order from them. The staff is rude, sometimes you don't even get what you ordered and their prices climb every other month. If you order a pick-up only special, it's always higher than what their menu states. Last time I ordered the price differences were for a flour surcharge. Even my neighbors have had enough. Good pizza but not that good.
Mangia Mangia! Luciano's! – When we moved to Bethel Park, I noticed that there was a pizza shop in the phone book with the same name as a very, very good pizza place in White Oak, that later grew into a big-time Italian restaurant. LUCIANO'S in Bethel Park doesn't have a fancy dining room like its namesake in White Oak, but it does have plenty of seating, a friendly staff, terrific food, cold beer on tap, and a cooler full of other good beers. The sign in the restaurant says, "Luciano's time, 20 minutes." I have ordered a LOT of Luciano's pizzas in the years that I've lived in BP, and nothing else in this area comes close to the quality of their pizza. Particularly wonderful are the "Chicago-style" pizzas with thick crust, and a chunky, garlic-powered tomato sauce that is bursting with old-world flavor. The hot sausage and meatballs used by Luciano's is first-rate. Their CALZONES are a family favorite, but you'll have to remember to ask for ricotta cheese, because their standard calzone is actually what I would call a Stromboli: No ricotta. They also have eat-in dinner specials, including an all-you-can-eat spaghetti night for those of you with hungry teenage eating machines. I have only been disappointed one time with anything I've ordered from Luciano's in Bethel Park, and on that occasion, the guy running the place told me it was "on the house." I just wished they stayed open a little later at night!
great pizza – This place is great. I love coming here. The pizza is great.
2nd best Pizza in burgh – Better value than Mineo's and is almost as good. I have been going there for almost 20 years, traveling 30 miles just to get there, almost every Friday night.
The Best of the Best – I grow up Eating this food Then worked at Mariccini's For 3 years eating there food and then I started to party and I found out they have the best munchie food (Hot Sasage & Cheese Colzones)now I live in Mt. Pleasent and I Miss there food so much but when I'm in the Port I stop in and eat. Also they have the best delivery driver I wish I knew his name he has been with them for a long time I do know that!
Thanks for some very good food!!
SINFUL – The crust, it must be noted that the crust is superb, fresh, hand tossed. After the crust is shaped into the familiar round shape, it is brightened by glorious pizza sauce then highlighted with various chosen toppings. Served piping hot, you must try not to eat the heavenly food too fast. "Savor the pizza".. is the thought for the evening.
Good Stuff – Pizza Hut? With the HUGE variety of pizza in Pittsburgh, I can't believe Chains are rated higher than Luciano's, Beto's etc.
Luciano's is the BEST – Great food, close to home (for me anyway!), pick up/delivery/or eat in; they are more than happy to help you in any way they can. Luciano's is great! Try the pizza...its SO good!
busy, very busy – great pizza, the sauce is perfect, nice size hand tossed pizza. very busy atmosphere, makes you want to eat and run. reccomend take out.
ummmm – they have the best pizza in the north hills area, their appetizers aren't all that great but, hey, they a pizza place not a upscale restaurant.

Cloud-based Security Services Poised for Rapid Growth
The rush of businesses to move their operations to the cloud is creating a slipstream that's pulling security services into the nimbus.
Mon, December 23, 2013
"People have become more comfortable now with the cloud so they're feeling more comfortable leveraging certain cloud services for security," said Brian Contos, CISO for Blue Coat, a web filter appliance company.
[Why security benefits boost mid-market adoption of virtualization]
That comfort will be driving a rapid growth in the market for cloud-based security services in the next few years. The market, according to Gartner, will jump by a billion dollars in the next two years from $2.1 billion in 2013 to $3.1 billion in 2015.
Market research firm Infonetics Research also has a rosy forecast for cloud-based security services. It predicts revenues for them will climb by a compound annual growth rate of 10.8 percent, from 2012 to 2015, when it will reach $9.2 billion.
"There's increasing pressure on organizations to have services in the cloud, and the only way really to manage some of the risk in the cloud is with cloud security services," said Davi Ottenheimer, president of flyingpenguin, a security consulting firm.
As companies move services from their data centers into the cloud, not only do they want their security services there, too, but they want those security services to emulate other cloud offerings. "They're demanding next-generation, higher-class security services," said Mark Nunnikhoven, principal engineer of cloud and emerging technologies, at Trend Micro.
"They want a security service that matches the attributes of the cloud -- something that's smart and flexible," he added.
The general migration of operations to the cloud isn't the only trend driving security services to the nimbus, however. "The rise of mobility and the distribution of users has driven a lot of the requirement for security in the cloud," said Infonetics Principal Analyst Jeff Wilson.
Increased use of multiple devices by employees to do their jobs has broadened security challenges for many organizations. Those devices are used by workers with services outside their employer's network -- services like Gmail, Webex, Dropbox and Evernote -- that can expose that network to risk. "Trying to figure out a way to buy a product to protect you from all that stuff becomes mind-boggling," Wilson said.
"It makes hijacking traffic and routing it through a secure cloud a reasonable thing to think about doing," he added.
[Critics say U.S. tech companies could suffer in warning against China-based cloud services]
When organizations could limit the gateways to their networks and bottle up data within those networks, local solutions made more sense. That's not the case now.

According to a soon-to-be-released report that was conducted by Purdue University, meeting planners, on the whole, are not prepared to respond to disasters of any kind — from a strike, to a roof collapse, to a shooting — much less a flu pandemic.
"Based on [our research], we don't think meeting planners have contingency plans or have thought much about them," says Sheryl Kline, PhD, assistant professor, department of hospitality and tourism management at Purdue University's Center for the Study of Lodging Operations.
In the broader picture, there have been a lot of mixed messages about bird flu, and, understandably, planners are confused about how much of an imminent threat a pandemic could be.
In May, for example, the White House released a 228-page report that outlines how individuals, businesses, local and federal governments, and community groups should respond if a pandemic flu hits America. The report is based on a worst-case scenario that would see the pandemic last months, result in 1.9 million deaths, and keep 40 percent of the work force at home.
Planning for the worst is constructive, says Marc Siegel, MD, author of Bird Flu: Everything You Need to Know About the Next Pandemic, but fearing it is not. "This is a [noncontagious] virus that's infected only a little over 200 people in nine years," Siegel explains. "It looks like it's multiple mutations away from being able to affect us. And even if it makes that step, there's no guarantee or even likelihood that it will become a killer pandemic."
The problem, he says, is that the discourse has jumped directly to a doomsday scenario. "The characterization of the discussion on H5N1 bird flu has routinely missed several steps," Siegel says. But, he adds, the debate could serve as a wake-up call for meeting planners, among others, to think about pandemics and emergency preparedness in general.
Not Enough Interest
"I'm really concerned that most of the planners in the industry are not thinking seriously about contingency planning," says Steven Hacker, president, International Association for Exhibition Management, Dallas. Why? "It's human nature. We don't want to confront the issues that cause us stress or discomfort or anxiety," Hacker says. However, IAEM and other industry associations are seeking to bring attention to the issue.
The Society of Independent Show Organizers is working on a bird flu management plan, which was posted on its Web site (www.siso.org) in June. Also, on May 31, the American Society of Association Executives & the Center for Association Leadership held a Web conference on the subject.
IAEM is perhaps the industry's best resource, with links to avian flu resources and white papers on crisis planning on its Web site (see page 33 for a list of links). Further, at its Professional Development Conference in June, IAEM presented a series of sessions on how planners can prepare for a pandemic. One of the sessions featured a presentation about the virus from a physician at the Chicago Department of Health.
Those sessions, however, did not generate much interest among attendees, Hacker notes. In a pre-conference poll, only 27 percent of attendees said they were inclined to attend a session on avian flu emergency planning, with 72 percent saying no or maybe. On the flip side, 74 percent were interested in a session on attendance promotion.
Despite the fact that pandemic contingency planning is not widespread in the industry, some organizations are starting to take notice.
Action Plans in Place
When it comes to putting together an emergency plan for specifically dealing with a communicable disease, the American Library Association's Deidre Ross is an expert. The Chicago-based ALA held its 2003 convention in Toronto less than a month after a SARS outbreak hit the city. Ross, the director of conference services, came to the conference armed with a plan should an outbreak occur during the convention.
Ross secured space at an area hospital that was not treating any SARS patients so that if an outbreak occurred, delegates would be quarantined there. Also, the ALA team checked with the convention center and all the hotels in the room block to find out what their emergency procedures were and how they would screen guests and employees for disease. They also created an emergency communication plan.
Experts say that it's critical to have a detailed communication plan and a chain of command in the event of an emergency. A good communication plan should include not only key staff, facility, and emergency personnel contacts, but also communication trees with backup and off-site communication contacts should key personnel be unreachable. Cell-phone numbers should be listed (in case land lines are down), and in cases where cellular communications cannot get through, personnel should be encouraged to use text messaging, according to Purdue University's Kline. She stresses that the backup plan should have a backup plan.
In Toronto, Ross was designated as the point person who would find out first if an outbreak had occurred. Using a predetermined code word, she would inform others who were on the emergency committee of the situation, so as not to create panic. The staff, in concert with the convention center and hotels, would then inform the attendees of the situation and enact the evacuation and/or quarantine procedures and guidelines that the facilities or the local officials had in place.
If quarantining or treatment had been necessary, then the hospital was available and medical personnel were on call. For staff, she had a plan for who would stay behind to assist, if necessary, and who would leave. She also brought along a supply of masks and antibacterial hand wash for staff and attendees who needed them.
This year, ALA held its annual meeting in New Orleans in June, and it drafted an emergency-response plan to deal specifically with hurricanes. Next year, Ross will use the SARS plan as the basis for drafting an avian flu plan for meetings in Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Having a crisis plan that is updated or adapted to include specific procedures for a variety of situations is important, experts say. "One plan doesn't fit all," Kline says, because a pandemic might require a "lockdown" situation, while something like a bomb threat would require an evacuation.
And simply having a plan is not always enough. Planners should practice their plan with a drill or simulation, Kline advises. Purdue University has an on-campus facility where large-scale disasters can be simulated to show the impact on an entire city.
Linda Jelinek of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons updates her incident-management plan each year with information that is specific to the meeting destination. The plan includes contact numbers, communication plans, information on hotels and venues, evacuation procedures, and response plans for specific emergencies, such as natural disasters, fire, bomb threat, etc. With next year's meeting scheduled in Hawaii, she will probably update the document to include plans to deal with bird flu, because it is in an area of the world that could be of concern.
The plan also details the steps to be taken should the event need to be canceled in advance of, en route to, or during the meeting.
Insuring Survival: Building a Better House
If an organization does have to cancel a meeting because of a pandemic caused by bird flu, the economic impact would likely be greater than it would be for most any other disaster — because of the lack of cancellation insurance available to cover outbreaks of infectious diseases.
After the SARS epidemic, event insurers put exclusions into the policies for communicable diseases, says John Buttine, president, John Buttine Inc., a New York — based insurance broker who handles a lot of industry business. Basically, there is no insurance coverage for meetings and events that are canceled because of the bird flu or pandemic. "Insurance companies will generally exclude things they don't understand," Buttine says. "The theory is, if they don't understand it, they can't quantify it, and if they can't quantify it, they exclude it."
ALA's Ross is well aware of the exclusion. She was not able to get cancellation insurance that covered SARS for the association's meeting in Toronto. That's why the ALA insists on a strong force majeure clause that allows the group to get out of the hotel contracts in case of a pandemic or other disaster.
"A well-written force majeure or 'excuse of performance' clause may protect planners from an actual or feared avian flu epidemic," says Joshua Grimes, Esq., Grimes Law Offices, Philadelphia. It all depends on the wording and the circumstances.
"Many planners now prefer to include wording allowing cancellation if the event becomes 'impossible, illegal, or impractical' to hold," he says. "Impractical" was added to cover situations in which the event could actually be held — the facility was not destroyed, or planes were not grounded — but as a practical matter it does not make sense to go forward because few, if any, people will likely attend.
Hotels often balk at such contract language, according to Ross, but the ALA demands it because there is no insurance to fall back on.
"We're shivering in our boots over the prospect of this happening and travel restrictions developing or people being afraid to travel," says Nelson Fabian, executive director and chief executive officer of the National Environmental Health Association, Denver, which is in the process of developing a avian-flu crisis plan.
How to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario
Travel restrictions and restrictions on public gatherings are likely to be adopted in the event of a flu outbreak.
There will probably be at least a couple of weeks lead time between an outbreak overseas and one here in the United States, so planners will have a "heads up" that a problem is going to occur.
If the flu has already hit U.S. shores, planners should be prepared for large-scale event cancellations, and they would have to work with their hotel colleagues to develop procedures for cancellation and information dissemination to attendees and employees.
If the first U.S. outbreak is actually at the conference, which is very unlikely, there may be quarantining of attendees until they have been proven unaffected.
Although hotels might not have capacity issues when attendees are forced to stay in quarantine because new travelers would not be allowed into the area, resources among travelers might become problematic. Food and supplies could become scarce. Certainly, an event planner should work with hotels to develop a pandemic plan that outlines how communications to attendees and suppliers will take place.
Expanded business capabilities, such as Internet access in hotel rooms, will be very important to attendees who are not allowed to travel in the event of an outbreak.
Planners and hotels must work together to educate themselves on state and local flu pandemic plans so that they can keep their attendees informed.
Planners and hotels should be able to advise attendees of the local medical care available to them in the event of an outbreak.
Planners and hotel employees should be informed regarding infection control and their own employer's plans in the event of an outbreak. Confusion and lack of information can cause panic.
It should be stressed that a human outbreak of bird flu is very unlikely to occur first in the United States. Planners and hotels are more likely to receive notice that a human outbreak has occurred overseas and prepare to curtail U.S. events according to federal, state, and local guidelines. Preparedness now will assure that these procedures will go smoothly.

Can It Happen?
An Expert's Opinion
Bird flu expert Stephen Playe, MD, will be speaking at the American College of Emergency Physicians' Annual Scientific Assembly in October in New Orleans. Here's what he has to say to Religious Conference Manager's readers:
"You'll hear a lot of things bantered around like, 'It's not if, it's when,'" says Playe, assistant professor of emergency medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, and emergency medical residency program director, Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Mass. "The reality is, no one knows if or when."
For the avian flu to become a human pandemic, a human being would have to be simultaneously infected with the bird flu — which at this point is not contagious among people — and a human influenza that is communicable. "If something happens inside that person's body called genetic realignment, where some of the genetic properties of the virulent influenza mixed with the genetic properties of the contagious influenza, then they could end up having a virulent, contagious influenza that nobody around them in the world has immunity to, so it could spread from person to person," says Playe. That's essentially the type of scenario that caused the 1918 Spanish flu.
But even if a person were co-infected, as explained above, the odds of the two viruses mixing to create one contagious killer human flu are low, he says. It's also possible that the new virus will be weakened and will only result in people getting sick and not dying, he adds. "But what you worry about is that it will maintain its virulence, become contagious, and become a bad pandemic."
If a pandemic occurs, Playe says it can be controlled if people wear surgical masks and wash their hands with antibacterial soap, because it spreads only when respiratory droplets get in the eyes, nose, or mouth. And because droplets travel a maximum of three feet, he says people should maintain a three-foot distance, particularly if they don't have a mask.
"If I were in charge of a meeting," says Playe, "I would distribute regular surgical masks with an instruction sheet on exactly how the influenza spreads." He would also recommend that the planner makes sure he or she has, or the facility has, alcohol-based hand wash. "If you do that, I truly think you would be protecting everybody involved from the possibility of spread."
Pumping resources into awareness and prevention techniques is more valuable than pumping dollars into developing vaccines or stockpiling influenza treatments, such as Tamiflu, which are expensive, have a shelf life, and might not be totally effective, he says.

Heartbroken hubby laments wife's web of lies
The Riverdale Press
July 19, 2007
By Tommy Hallissey
Rare is the spouse who is completely truthful, but Nirmala Parmasar wove a fabric of lies to her husband that was so egregious it could land her in jail for many years. "She claimed she loved me, but those were only words," said a despondent Michael Braverman, speaking with The Press in his modest apartment at 80 Knolls Crescent.
He still remembers the day Ms. Parmasar told him, "I have cancer and I need money to go to California where I can get good treatment," according to a criminal complaint on file with the Bronx district attorney's office.
But, according to police, the healthy woman used the cash — Mr. Braverman estimates it totaled $144,000 — to underwrite her relationship with a second husband in South Ozone Park, Queens.

About the Television Program
Domestic Violence
"Mary" was trapped in an abusive marriage. Her husband beat and choked her in front of her two young children, but like many women in similar situations, she feared her abuser would turn even more violent if she left. Despite limited financial resources, she finally gathered the courage to escape, with the help of two non-profit organizations, the YWCA and Legal Aid. You'll meet Robin Wilson, the Legal Aid attorney who secured a divorce and protective order for Mary, and find out the steps she and her client took together to ensure the family's safety as they move forward with their lives.

Disability Law
Kimberley Chidsey and her sister Leslie were running out of options. An on-the-job injury left Leslie unable to work, and her request for disability payments had been denied. She moved in with Kimberley and her family, a less than ideal situation for the sisters. Leslie was trapped in a downward spiral of depression, unable even to pay for needed medications. You'll hear from Oklahoma City attorney Athlea Adkisson, who took on the case when the sisters appealed to a Social Security administrative law judge to get Leslie the help she needed.
Military Assistance
In autumn 2003, fighter pilot Mike Whetstone was deployed in one of the most dangerous parts of the world when he received some unwelcome news from back home. He was summoned to appear before a judge in McIntosh County, the result of an ongoing divorce dispute that had its roots in Capt. Whetstone's long military deployments during the war. Facing a default judgment against him if he failed to appear in court, he hired an unknown attorney to represent him 5,000 miles away. Little did he know that the attorney, 2011 OBA President Deborah Reheard, would have the case suspended within an hour of their initial phone conversation. That case proved to be the inspiration for the new Oklahoma Lawyers for America's Heroes program that will provide more that $1 million dollars worth of free legal advice to qualified service members this year.

Star Theatre
402 North Coast Highway,
9 people favorited this theater
The Star Theatre opened in August 1956 with a seating capacity for 986. There were 546 seats in the orchestra and 440 in the stepped loge section at the rear. Behind the loge seating area was a cry room, that was equipped with electric fixtures for bottle warmers.
This was once a popular movie house, located in downtown Oceanside. In it's darkest days it fuctioned as an adult theater operated by Pussycat Theatres, but has recently been renovated and is used for live performances.

Here is a photo circa 1974:
Sidecar Racers was released in February of 1975.
ken mc, they changed the name of Hill Street to Coast Highway. I don't know the year.
Some photos I took back in November 2000, when it had recently closed as a movie theater and its fate was uncertain. Sorry the first two aren't the sharpest, early digital cameras were unpredictable things:
Another photo of the Star Theater is here.
The Balch in the firm of Balch, Bryan, Perkins, Hutchason was William Glenn Balch, the considerably younger brother of theater architect Clifford Balch. Following the dissolution of the firm of Balch & Balch, in 1946 Clifford Balch formed a partnership with Louis L. Bryan. Balch & Bryan became Balch, Bryan, Perkins, Hutchason, Architects in 1953, with the addition of partners John Loring Perkins and W.K. Hutchason.
Here is a Boxoffice article about the Star Theatre. It notes that William Glenn Balch had "…designed over 180 southland theatres over the last 25 years…."
Jim Heiser and I connected during the re-opening of the Star Theater when it played TITANIC in late June of 1998. I had just released the book "The Wreck and Sinking of the Titanic" and he asked me to open the theater. So with microphone in hand I stood at the curtain and gave a breif overview of the history then took questions. After the showing I sold books in the lobby. I was saddened to see it close.

If music is your refuge, take cover with this warm blanket; every thread carefully woven together by Berlin-based producer Jin Choi. Going by the philosophy that "(music) is about emotion, expression and personality", Jin Choi makes his own brand of music, a neat mesh of deep house, soul, disco, punctuated by occasional bouts of ambient sound.
A Thousand Whales of Love is Jin Choi's debut full-length album, coming after a series of EPs. The tracks are friendly but certainly not boring, fuelled by energetic beats, vocals and jazzy textures. As the album art perhaps suggests, there is a whimsical quality to the music, but at the same time it is grounded by a hint of melancholy, mapped out against a spiced-up but solid formula.
Opening track 'Don't Look Inside' sets a darker tone, before the energetic surprise that is 'Godspeed Soul'; a padded number that will get your feet tapping.
Tracks such as 'Amber & Gold', and 'Solstice' are personal favourites; a good balance of energy and emotion.
At times, the mood dips into ambient yet soulful vibes, on 'A Thousand Whales of Love', and 'There Must Be Ways'.
The album is a comfortable blend that eases the listener in, before parading a fresh listen in which Jin Choi's free-your-mind approach comes through nicely. Sometimes you can just tell that a healthy amount of love has been put into making the music.
