I am a student-- well now I'm a graduate of 2014, I attended FCS for 13 years. It is a wonderful school. The teachers really care for each individual student. Each teacher is called by God to teach with no pay, so if they didn't care; they wouldn't be there. It's a wonderful place to put your kids if you want them to be protected from drug, sex, and violence. It's true, the school doesn't have the accommodations to fairly teach students with special needs. But FCS teaches The Word of God, which needs to be taught more than just one or two days a week in church. And if you think FCS turns you down or looks down on you for your religion-- it's a baptists schools and, they have atheists, Muslims, Catholics, and so many more religions. They teach strait from the KJV Bible, but they do NOT belittle other religions. Everyone is so friendly. It's one big family, and I am proud to say I am apart of it.
Would not Reccomend; they enforce corporal punishment. The School is Very Small; you pretty much have to know the same people to get accepted (be a part if their Click). Non-Denominational are Looked Down upon. You MUST Have References for a 3 year old; (Get Real) ; they will take your $$$ for enrollment fees ; cash your check; $150 non-refundable; knowing that they will not accept your child. They have a System where Debbie will Red Flag your child & then set up another meeting with the Principle whom thinks he knows it all; they will be little your child; tell you that your child is not good enough to be accepted; (Beating around the Bush). Recommend that you enroll your child in a Public School System. They will even stoop as Low as telling a parent their school does not have the Facility for a Child with Special Needs. Thing is my Child is NOT Special Needs; (Discrimination) they make assumptions even though they are not phycicians, They are Very Hypocritical. One day they will come across a Child that is Honestly Autistic & it will be their own child or a close Family member. I bet they would Not Deny them in that school. Matthew 7:1-2
Self-righteousness; Hyptocrites; Very Discriminating; They will "Red Flag" your children if they do not Behave Like the Perfect Angels their kids are; Debbie has No Issues taking your $300 check/ per child for enrollment fees; ($150 Non-Refundable); even though she has No intentions of allowing your children to attend; my Family was Snubbed; Horrible treatment.
Strong Christian emphasis. An ABEKA school. Not your typical expensive parochial school for upper to middle income families. Very affordable BECAUSE OF VOLUNTEERISM OF MOST OF THE STAFF. Over 90% of staff are volunteers. High school lacks AP classes. It is a christian school for average to lower income parents. No frills environment. Not a lot of extracurricular activities offered due to relatively small size of school. There are about 250 kids in K-12. Academic offerings are also limited but adequate for college preparation. Great deal for the money. There are more academically rigorous private schools in the area with more impressive facilities and programs, It was the best deal we found for our budget and the spiritual needs of our kids.
Great atmostphere. Dedicated teachers and involved parents make a great support system for the students. Small classroom size enhance the learning environment. Children learn Bible truths along with scholastic material. We love this school!
Limited number of children per class. Great basketball program. Dress uniforms for 6-12 provides harmony. Devoted teachers. Known worldwide for good education. Foreign students attend here. Bible based learning.
Overall this school is excellent. It is exactly what my children need and want.

Kristin Chenoweth has Twelve Men Who Love Her| November 28, 2009 at 7:26 PM EST
Are you ready to give another Lifetime movie a chance? We're not so sure about that, despite the starring role being the amazing Kristin Chenoweth. We'd listen to her read a foreign phonebook (if foreign countries have phonebooks -?) but investing our time watching a Lifetime movie is a pretty big leap of faith. We're all cynical and stuff, man.
Lifetime movies can be really hit or miss with me. The last time I gave one a chance was because Sarah Chalke was attached to the project (Maneater)and the plot seemed like it had potential to be a cute time-waster. But what I got was a really dumb, exceptionally (& unfairly) long movie with very little charm.
So, proceed with all kinds of caution towards the Kristin Chenoweth Lifetime movie 12 MEN OF CHRISTMAS. If you'd like to watch, it airs Saturday, December 5 at 9:00PM-11:00PM (ET/PT).
It's anything but a Merry Christmas for die-hard New Yorker E.J. Baxter when she loses her high-powered publicity job and her fiancé all on the same night as her office holiday party. To escape everything around her, E.J. takes a job in Kalispell, Montana, and channels her energy to help raise funds for the local search-and-rescue team. Initially, E.J. feels like a fish out of water, but with the help of her new colleague Jan, she cooks up a concept that will leverage Kalispell's greatest asset – their handsome guys. E.J. faces resistance from some of the men, especially town bad boy, Will, but she is determined to fill all the months of the calendar…and has her eye on someone special for Mr. December! Starring Kristin Chenoweth, Josh Hopkins and Jessie Pavelka.

I'm not a fan of Lifetime movies. But I love Kristin Chenoweth, so I am willing to give Lifetime a chance with this one because they were smart enough to cast her.

Deputy chief Larry Rider and Chief Mike Thompson (in white) are joined by other Spokane Valley Fire Department employees and members of the community during a ceremony held last week to dedicate a new fire engine. The photo is courtesy of the Spokane Valley Fire Department.
Spokane Valley Fire had a successful housing ceremony for its new Rescue 8 truck last week at Station 8 on Wilbur Road. A big crowd turned out to help push the truck into the station. The ceremony dates back to the days of horse-drrawn fire equipment that had to be pushed into the station by firefighters and neighbors since the horses couldn't back up the wagons. The department's honor guard and pipe and drum corp provided musical accompaniment for the pushing effort.
The new Rescue 8 truck will start serving Spokane Valley residents this week. Photo courtesy the Spokane Valley Fire Department.
Spokane Valley Fire is taking a ceremony used in other cities and making it it's own. A housing ceremony for the department's new Rescue 8 truck is set for 11 a.m. Thursday at Fire Station 8, where it will be housed. The station is at 2110 N. Wilbur just west of Pines and north of I-90.
The ceremony dates back to the days of horse-drawn fire equipment. The horses couldn't back the carriage into the fire stations, so the firemen had to do it themselves. There won't be any horses at Thursday's ceremony, but Chief Mike Thompson will speak and the Spokane Valley Fire Department Honor Guard will be in attendance.
The public is welcome, particularly those strong enough to help push the truck into the station and kids who just want to admire the shiny new rig. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony.

'The Millionare Matchmaker' explains where Destin Pfaff and Rachel Federoff went| December 10, 2013 at 6:18 PM EST
Patti Stanger has returned with The Millionaire Matchmaker season 7 last week on BRAVO. But who there were two people who didn't come along for the ride, and that's her two previous assistants.
On the season 7 premiere, "Softly Swayze and the Boy in the Bubble," Patti does explain what happened to her assistants. She says that they left, and that she has replaced them with new assistants. She also showed up with a brand new ocean-front office space.
So, what happened to Destin Pfaff and Rachel Federoff? And who are these new assistants?
Stanger posted to her Facebook about Destin and Rachel to say, "Ok guys I'm gonna say it once @destinpfaff @RachelFederoff are off pursuing their own dreams @DNRBrands @SushiGirlMovie I wish them well!"
The new assistants are Justin Bird, Marisa Saks and David Cruz.
The Millionaire Matchmaker airs new episodes on Thursday nights on Bravo.
React: Are you going to miss Destin and Rachel? Which of the new assistants do you like the most so far?

I will miss Rachel & Destin! I loved their cool style, whit,excellent advice. Complete professionals. Patti has hired Patti clones to replace them.BORING!Rachel & Destin brought a younger,cool vibe that you would never imagine working with Patti's uptight persona yet it worked. I wish Rachel & Destin great success.
Gosh I would have thought Patti would have tried to mix it up a bit. She needs to spice the show by adding some cool folks who can give it back to her. That is far more interesting than watching her bark at people like I am doing tonight. Hey Patti I am avail!! Add some mature coco to your mix!!! I miss Rachel and Destin because they were true individualists marching to their own groove. These little barbie dolls in the office now have much to show us loyal viewers.
I thought Rachel & Destin were gross. Couldn't watch when they were on-screen. If I went into a matchmaking office an saw them – I would jump off a bridge…it's a matchmaking office for millionaires looking for hot girls – not a freak show.
I'm not especially thrilled with their replacements, but won't miss their hair, especially hers. Besides, they often came off as condescending toward the clients. However, I will miss seeing them speak their mind on occasion to Patty, which she probably won't have to worry about with this trio. Have their personalities been edited out entirely? Or maybe the frequent threats of being fired are not empowering them to do anything but become suck-ups.
I did not like Destin and Rachel on the show. They looked terrible to me and to criticize the potential dates for the millionaires was ridiculous. I remember one show where Destin was telling one guy how horrible his hair was, and I could not believe what I was hearing from a man that had his hair sticking up like a porcupine. The cast now look professional, act professional, and dress professional.
I miss them and do not like the new season.
Dislike the new team they are annoying
I did not like looking at them either but they had much better personality and the flow was better. This new team is just icky and annoying.
I always thought Destin was Patti's son!
They are professional but SNOOZE.
The new people are so boring that it makes me like the show less.
I agree MIlionaire Matchmaker has become about Patty's plastic surgery, weight loss and three boring new team members. I would love to know the statisics of how many matches are successful and what the $ cost is to the Millionaires looking for love.
I've watched a couple of episodes and do not enjoy it without Destin and Rachel, it's BORING. Patti is annoying and rude yet Destin and Rachel made the show interesting, gave it a little edge, Bravo should give Destin and Rachel their own show.

When the alert system goes awry, chronic pain may set in. It can arise mysteriously, persist for a long time and be very difficult to treat. Sometimes the cause is obvious. But pain's origin may be elusive—an inexplicable headache or a bad back that won't stop hurting. Finding surefire treatments has been difficult because the phenomenon is so complicated. Emotions, memory and expectations all influence chronic pain, and in turn are influenced by it.
Because persistent pain is so complex, a cure for it is not yet on the horizon. But while we wait, a new understanding of why we hurt offers opportunities to use our minds to soften the sting.
Heartburn and Heartbreak: It's All Connected
When you are in agony, the last thing you want to be told is that it's all in your head. But in truth, pain does come from your head, in a group of interconnected brain regions known as the pain matrix. Some regions are involved in delivering descriptive information about the feeling—where it is, how intense it is, whether it's a dull soreness or a sharp prick. Another part, the anterior cingulate cortex, registers the unpleasant "hurt" of pain. It connects the physical sensation of pain to feelings of distress.

Tasty treats in the Tenderloin and around?
- grayelf Mar 1, 2009 07:14 AM
Greetings SF Bay Area Hounds. A Vancouver friend is going on a last-minute trip to your fair city with her niece to find a grad dress and has asked for some reccos. They'll be staying at the Hilton (O'Farrell btwn Taylor and Mason) and sticking pretty close to Union Square most of the time, so I'm going to focus on it and the Tenderloin. They'll be visiting from March 9 to 12 (M-Th), so no weekend involved. Budget-wise, they're trying to keep things reasonable (think Canteen or less $$-wise) and they're not afraid of holes-in-the-wall. Oh and they'll be using transit. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated by these non-Hounds who nonetheless seek tasty treats and are more-or-less omnivorous, though dimsum and sushi are pretty well covered at home. Here's what I have so far, very thin on the ground for Union Square and I realize I am lacking Indian in the Tandoorloin -- starred places we've tried ourselves and enjoyed:
Breakfast options near hotel/Union Square:
Dottie's: gave usual line caveats and closed Tues heads up
*Café Bean (800 Sutter at Jones)
Brenda's (also for lunch perhaps)
*Café de La Presse (also for lunch perhaps)
Cafe Mason
Cafe Andree in the Hotel Rex
The Nob Hill Grille
AVOID: Lori's or Sear's
Sai Jai Thai mieng come, angel wings, the kor moo yang, beef salad
Turtle Tower for pho, especially ga
Old Chelsea Fish and Chips
Saigon Sandwich, Wrap Delight or Baguette Express for banh mi (I know there are others that may be better/more authentic but these three seem safe) – all lunch only??
Pagolac for 7 courses of beef
Borobudur for roti prata, string beans with dried shrimp paste, lamb and chicken satays. 'Ware karaoke in the evenings?!
**Larkin Express deli only open for dinner Sat IIRC
*Thai House Express go for lesser-known dishes: Kao Pad Ka-Na Pla Kem anchovy fried rice, interesting salads, pork leg dish ***catfish larb***
**Bodega Bistro for shaking beef, green papaya salad, roasted squab, beef, chicken or crab soup and noodles
**Canteen with usual caveats re tiny size, three dinner sittings per night, no resos at lunch, Tues prix fixe
*Asuka for some quick non-sushi comfort food
Sutter Café for tamales/aguas frescas to go
Bankgok Noodles (formerly King of Thai Noodle) chicken in red curry with jasmine rice and the spicy ground chicken or pork served with flat rice noodles, broccoli and eggs
*Utopia or The House if they decide to check out Chinatown
**La Ciccia if they get a bit more ambitious Muni-wise and want some kick-ass Sardinian food!
Your friend and her niece are used to marginal urban areas? And I don't mean Canadian urban.
The Tenderloin has a lot of great eats and bars, but I would caution innocent prom dress shoppers there's also a lot of homelessness and strung out addicts. My mother would be uncomfortable and unhappy walking much of Geary or O Farrell.
(Avoid Leavenworth near Market unless you like scary junkies).
re: Adamsimpson
Silly me. I thought that was a magical word for protection in the hood but it is a restaurant.
Brenda's French Soul Food
652 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94102
There's a charming pub called the Edinburgh Castle on Geary between Polk and Larkin. They serve fish and chips from Old Chelsea, which is around the corner. You place your order, it gets cooked up at Old Chelsea and hustled down the back alley to the pub. The pub is a more congenial atmosphere than the tiny and garishly lit Old Chelsea, though I've eaten at Old Chelsea. On the other hand, if the niece is graduating from High School rather than college, she's likely too young to be allowed in a bar.
There's a relatively new restaurant attached to the Hilton where they'll be staying. It's called Urban Tavern. I ate there a couple weeks ago with friends, and we were all satisfied. It might be a little fancier than your friends are looking for, but there's no reason not to look at the menu and prices since it's right there.
re: weem
Thanks for the heads up on the "edginess" of the area, guys (that's realtor talk for the scary nabes in Vancouver, anyway). We have unfortunately been having an outbreak of gang crime here, and my friend has spent a fair bit of time in the worst 'hood in N America (Hastings and Main) here in the city, so I think they'll be okay as long as they're careful and don't get unlucky. We've wandered around the T'loin on our last three trips and I was mored scared below Market, to be honest.
The niece is in fact graduating high school which I should have mentioned re the no pubs fandango. I'm stealing the Edinburgh Castle idea for me and the SO however :-), weem. Will also pass on intel re the in-house resto -- could be perfect after a serious day of shopping!
I think I will include both Sam's and Tadich just because they are different than anything we have in Van, and because everyone should taste petrale sole and sand dabs before they die, 'Hound or no.
Re Lers Ros, I've been following the various threads on it for our March trip, and I get the impression that it is more hard core than the other Thai restos in SF, that is to say, there are mostly dishes one wouldn't find at Thai places stateside. Is that so?
re: grayelf
Lers Ros has 100+ items on the menu, including a lot of familiar fare. You don't hear much about the familiar stuff because the unfamiliar is the big draw. For me at least...
re: BernalKC
Lers Ros has most of the basics covered pretty well. And the squeamish things are pretty easy to avoid since they are not shy about using words like "entrails." For example, the papaya salad with SHRIMP (not the crab or the salty egg), the silver noodle salad, the fish cakes, the fried trout, the fried/roasted meats, the basic curries, stirfried noodles are all safe choices. Also, I just found out their Thai iced tea is tasty.
As for Chinatown, I was once a Chinatown brat, so here are a few places that may not have been covered in CH.
1. Hon's Wun-Tun House, a true hole in the wall with countertop seating. Lunch only with an interesting mix of business people, little Chinese senior citizens, and workmen. Try a large bowl of the won ton noodles (with or without BBQ pork), the chinese broccoli, or if feeling adventurous, the curry beef over rice.
During lunch rush, expect to share your table with several total strangers.
2. New Woey Loy Goey--this is the kind of place Tony Bourdain went to in the Disappearing Manhattan episode. A hole in the ground rather than the wall. Open up the menu, point to the Chinese only set menu for $29 on the inside cover and be surprised. (If you want to spoil the surprise, it is soup of the day, garlic mustard greens, poached chicken with ginger and green onions, steamed meat patty, salt and pepper shrimp, real sweet and sour pork)
3. Red Blossom Tea. The kids have taken over the old apothecary and are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have added some newfangled things like organic teas, rooibos, mint, etc to their top notch collection of Chinese teas. Unless it is crazy crowded, you can probably swing a free traditional tasting of several teas. (Although it would be nice if you bought a little something afterwards, which nearly everyone seems to do after tasting a few!)
As for North Indian, I love Shalimar, but all my Indian friends are like, "Yuck!" Someone recently told me that Sultan near Union Square is actually pretty good, but I haven't been. I like Udupi Palace for South Indian, but that's definitely a schlep--there is also a new Dosa on Fillmore.
Oh and Muracci's is very Japanese if you like curry. The katsu curries usually run out towards closing time.

re: sfbing
Thanks for the clarification on Lers Ros, sfbing and bernalKC. I'm keen to try it myself on our trip later this month, but now feel more comfortable including it in my recco list for the non 'Hound!
Also intrigued by NWLG, and thanks for the other feedback. Can anyone compare Muracci's to Asuka?
re: grayelf
At the risk of starting another Chinese food war, with your busy list and as a Vancouverite, I would save New Woey Loy Goey for a "I'm wandering around Chinatown and I'm hungry" spot near the bottom. But so many tourists eat at traps in Chinatown, it is a good place to know. And I stress, insist on the CHINESE only set menus.
Muracci only serves Japanese curry with various toppings over white rice, brown rice, and noodles. Japanese curry can be an acquired taste (like the beef curry at Hon's) as an Indian postdoc I know called it an "offense against God" after trying my lunch.
re: sfbing
"an Indian postdoc I know called it an "offense against God" after trying my lunch"
Phew, good thing I wasn't drinking liquid when I read that -- LOL.
NWLG is in my back pocket for just the reasons you said -- we stay near Chinatown and it's not an unlikely scenario. Gotta be better than HONK, which we did go to in 2003 before I discovered the sanity that is Chowhound :-).
I think I will pass on Asuka rather than Muracci if only because it offers a wee bit more variety. It is not a "must" but rather in the good-to-have-nearby-when-your-feet-hurt-too-much-to-go-farther-afield category.
re: sfbing
Hon's is based in Vancouver, so no need for the visitors to try it in SF.
re: Melanie Wong
One wonders if the food tastes the same in the two places? Hon's has been doing their thing here for over 30 years. I've been worried what I would do if the senior citizens who run the place died and I couldn't get their curry beef stew any more. I have no clue how they make it taste like that, but if they're making it in Vancouver I can rest easy!
re: sfbing
I've wondered if the Hon's in SF was connected to the chain in Vancouver. If so, I probably wouldn't bother. It doesn't get a heck of a lot of love here :-).
re: grayelf
It is but with a limited menu. If you have been to the one n the Richmond or even in Vancouver do not brother going to the one here. Not as good as what you have up there.
re: yimster
I agree that grayelf shouldn't bother, but they don't seem to have the curry beef in Canada.
re: sfbing
The one in Richmond has maybe a four hundred item menu with Beijing Duck (or it maybe spelled Peking) and a full kitchen. Great place and puts to shame the simple won ton house we have.
re: yimster
I like the simple won ton house--it reminds of the little places in HK that only make one or two things.
And, to me, it is not the same place at all if they don't have that curry dish. Which is bizarrely unreproduceable.
re: sfbing
At last, someone like the same thing I do. If anyone knows how to duplicate the curry beef, PLEASE let me have it.
Their curry beef is very unique, tender and so addictive especially after months of not having it. It is a comfort food.
With their chili hot sauce, the combination is really delish.
re: cupcake7
Thanks cupcake, Pagolac is on the list. I've heard about Bob's too but haven't been yet so will include it.
Last fall, I was on the host committee for professional conference that was held at the Hilton. I put together extensive notes & maps for the attendees, many of whom were less adventurous and/or less ambilatory than I.
Here's some of the recommendations that I received positive feedback on that have not already been mentioned:
Emporio Rulli on Union Square, nice place for an outdoor espresso drink & pastry
Blue Bottle Cafe, a little further away but wonderful place for a breakfast and INCREDIBLE coffee.
Armani Cafe - its basicly a bar/food counter in an old bank. You can have lunch or light snack and a martini (or wine or tea) in the middle of the store surrounded by beautiful clothing. Really fun people watching spot, everyone I've taken has left happy.
Sultan - okay someone else already mentioned it but their lunch buffet is a good deal and I love being able to get little bites of many things.
Sentinel - they are open for breakfast, but I find their lunches more compelling, its same people as Canteen but the food is cheaper - more of a "gourmet office lunches" place.
Tian Sing - is very "new to dim sum" friendly and has good quality dim sum. Its where I go with my vegan/vegetarian friends because of the range of offerings and the staff so helpful.
Rotunda - go for afternoon tea. The food/tea is nice enough, the space is lovely, the rotunda is gorgeous, its a nice girls bonding spot.
Saha - "arabic, fusion" food. After years, its still one of my favorite places and I still manage to impress out-of-towners with it. And its a lot nicer decor than the dives on Polk street without being too expensive
Johnny Foley's - go for lunch, dinner or drinks. Its a very popular spot. The food is solid. They have live music at night. Definitely not "only in SF" but its a nice, friendly, enjoyable spot just across the street from the Hilton.
I'm sure your friend will want to get out of Union Square but I just want you to know that there is plenty of good food in that area so they don't have to eat at awful places like Lefty O'Douls, Lori's & Sears!

re: larochelle
This is a great list, Larochelle, with some stuff I'm going to crib for MY visit too :-). I'll be passing it on for sure.
re: kirinraj
I think we may have a 'Hound in training here. I received the following report via email last night:
"So we just got back from an excellent meal at Canteen (the Tuesday night prix fixe). First - warm lobster bisque in a wee glass, with outstanding brioche. Then smoked mackerel with olive butter, and raw artichoke and frisee salad (yum), followed by duck confit with beans and green onion sausage (also yum). Dessert was roast rhubarb with meringue and strawberry sauce (yum again). "
I am told her dining companion pretty much licked her plates as well after a long and successful day of dress shopping.
What impressed me was that I got the report immediately after the meal. More to come I'm sure...
She also asked that I pass on her thanks to all of you for your generous and entertaining responses about the Tenderloin!
re: grayelf
Avoid Loris yes why SEARS its classic sf touristy yes but thats the good thing
re: mick
I disagree. Since the Loris people bought Sears, its gone even further downhill. The only thing left is the great sign & touristy decor and bad food, particulary the signature pancakes.
If you must, go in and have a cup of bad coffee, soak up the atmosphere and pat yourself on the back for not spending any more $$ or calories when there are plenty of great SF meals ahead of you!
re: larochelle
could not disagree more its breakfast,basic,goodand cheap. a cheap sparkling wine mimosa will liven up those pancakes you dont like
re: gourmandadventurer
Another update from my Crackberrying pal:
Food very nice at Sultan apart from a rather fatty lamb dish. Wait staff fine but not exactly warm and fuzzy...
Also went to Cafe Bean for brekkie - just had fruit and yoghurt and coffee
but enjoyed it - and had lunch at Emporio Rulli on Union Square - also good (counter service, half a panini and tea and ate at their nice sunny outside tables...)
re: gourmandadventurer
There are two locations of Shalimar in the City. One is in the heart of the Tenderloin on Jones and the other, which you seem to be referring to, is on Polk St. The original location on Jones is usually considered superior, but I've not been to Polk for some time now to offer a personal view.
re: Melanie Wong
Shalimar was good 5plus years ago time to move on
re: mick
A final dinner report from my compatriot:
We had a tasty Peruvian meal at fresca on Fillmore (north of california) - we shared 4 appies and a dessert. Highlights: grilled scallops on plantain and the mussels in a chorizo tomato sauce. Including one glass of wine it was 70 so not particularly cheap.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
Skittish, high-energy dance anthems have not met the nuanced dynamic ear of English electronic music producer Matthew Herbert. Truly one of the world's last great romantics, Herbert's ongoing project has been to continue the tradition of the experimental music proferred by Glass, Cage, and even Ellington in the context of today's oversampled music culture, as backed up by his own strict dogma for composing music. He uses all the gimmicks -- samples pulled from street-noise, dropping telephone books -- and they often work. His records are among the most innovative in electronic music, from funky charging house tracks sputtered with charming idiosyncrasies (pretty much everything on last summer's Around the House) to pensive nuanced ballads, all fused from layers of "found sounds" from everyday environments.
The Matthew Herbert Big Band is an inspired gimmick if there ever was one. Herbert hired an orchestra for Goodbye Swingtime,a cut-and-paste protest record reflecting the ill feelings that the Bush-Blair tag team have inspired. Echoes of Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore find their way into the smoldering spare vocals of Herbert's long-time cohort, Dani Siciliano; they're sometimes clumsily obvious (the shrill chants of lyrics in "The Three W's" stir some painful winces) and other times rivetingly compelling and clear ("Simple Mind"). Gimmicks still abound (peep the 100-title suggested reading list on the liner notes). It will be interesting to see what other artists will have to say about the current direction of the world. It's great that Herbert got there so quickly.

Arctic blast to reach Florida on Monday
Updated On: Jan 05 2014 09:46:48 AM EST
Kids heading back to school on Monday will be rudely welcomed back by a day of rain and wind, then dropping temperatures, and by afternoon, Arctic cold -- perhaps the coldest weather in more than a decade.
The morning bus stop will be mild, maybe a little wild, and there will be brief, heavy showers. The showers will be associated with gusty winds to 40 mph, and quickly followed by plunging temperatures.
The combination of plunging temperatures, winds to 40 mph, wind chill temperatures in the 20s followed will be followed by a hard freeze Tuesday morning. These condition are more than enough to declare this Monday and Tuesday, Weather Authority Alert Days.
Channel 4 and News4Jax will have more updates as we get closer to Monday morning, so stay tuned.

(Updates with comment by Mines Ministry official in fifth paragraph.)
June 15 (Bloomberg) -- Tanzania's Mines Ministry said a so- called super-profit tax for mining companies mooted by the country's Planning Commission remains a proposal and won't be implemented unless it is justified by economic conditions.
"We understand that miners need profits to cushion them when prices fall and that policies should direct the sector for say 15 years," David Jairo, permanent secretary in the ministry, said in a phone interview today from Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital. "We will not impose any tax. It will depend on prevailing circumstances and time considerations."
Tanzania vies with Mali to be Africa's third-biggest gold producer and is the world's only known source of the blue gemstone tanzanite. Lawmakers in the East African nation's parliament yesterday approved a 42.9 trillion-shilling ($27.4 billion) economic-development plan that proposed using the levy to help fund the program. The tax may be appropriate "considering the increasing trend in mineral prices," the commission said, without providing a timeframe.
The commission cited data that showed gold exports from the East African country increased to $1.5 billion, or 7 percent of gross domestic product, from $500 million over the past five years, while annual government revenue from sales of the metal remained at $100 million, or 0.5 percent of GDP.
"The super-profit tax is a statement that remains a proposal and will not be implemented unless it is economically justifiable," Jairo said.
IMF Discussions
The International Monetary Fund's Fiscal Affairs Department held talks with the Tanzania's Finance Ministry about the tax prior to its announcement and backs an additional levy on mining projects with "particularly high" returns, an IMF official said.
"The IMF supports the idea of what we call a resource rent tax on mining projects," John Wakeman-Linn, the IMF's representative in Tanzania, said in an e-mailed response to questions on June 13. He didn't say when the mission met the Finance Ministry officials.
"The appropriate level for any tax would depend on many factors, including the broader economic policy framework, spending plans and any other measures being taken to increase tax revenue," Wakeman-Linn said.
Tax Guarantee
African Barrick Gold Ltd., the biggest producer of the metal in Tanzania, operates four mines in the country. The company said on June 8 its mines in Tanzania are subject to Mineral Development Agreements that guarantee tax and "fiscal stabilization" for projects. The accords can't be amended without the company's approval, it said in a statement.
AngloGold Ashanti Ltd., the world's third-biggest gold miner, said its Geita mine in Tanzania won't be affected because an existing arrangement is valid for the life of the mine.
Other companies that have a presence in Tanzania include Bermuda-based Tanzanite One Ltd., and Tanzania Royalty Exploration Corp. of Canada.
The Tanzania Chamber of Minerals may meet on June 16 to discuss the tax, Godvictor Lyimo, chairman of the chamber's finance committee, said in a phone interview today.
"We discussed this issue earlier when Australia introduced the resource rent tax, which is also a windfall tax, because some of the members at the chamber have interests there," Lyimo said. "We thought it was not a good tax. Government has not talked to us about this tax yet."
Australian Levy
Australia is planning a 30 percent levy on iron-ore and coal profits that will earn the country A$7.7 billion ($8.2 billion) in its first two years, the Treasury Department said last month. The tax is scheduled to start in July 2012 after the laws are passed by parliament.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard in July scaled back the original proposal for a 40 percent tax on all resource profits to a levy with a higher threshold that exempts most commodities.
Tanzania's five-year plan targets an annual average economic growth rate of 8 percent from 2011-12 to 2015-16. The expansion is expected to accelerate to 10 percent by 2025, it said.
The country's gold output ranked behind South Africa and Ghana, and alongside Mali's 44.6 metric tons in 2010, according to London-based research company GFMS Ltd.
Last year, Tanzania's Parliament passed a mining law that increases royalties paid on minerals to 4 percent from 3 percent and gave the government a stake in all future projects.

GLEN COVE, N.Y. (WPIX)—With the fear of swine flu cases mounting as children prepare to head back to classrooms, one school on Long Island is taking steps to limit exposure to the potentially deadly virus.
Laurence Aronstein, the superintendent of the Glen Cove school district, said all skin-on-skin contact will be discouraged. That means no more handshakes, high fives, or hugs until otherwise noted.
While most parents and students said they appreciate the steps the school is taking, many are worried that it's not enough to prevent the virus from spreading.
"I don't really buy it and the reason is: how are you going to prevent a 5-year-old from hugging their friends?" parent Annette Trip asked PIX News. "Kids just do that. It's a natural instinct."
Nassau University Medical Center Pediatrics Chairman Dr. Michael Frogel agrees that discouraging hugging is likely to have limited success in halting the swine flu. He's concerned the familiar messages of frequent hand-washing and getting students vaccinated may be lost if schools focus on forbidding skin-to-skin contact.
"I think the real emphasis is to diminish the hysteria. To not seek care that's not necessary," said Dr. Frogel. "Let's worry about our regular ill population. Everyone should get vaccinated, everyone should do hand washing."
It was just today that the New York State Education Department released amended guidelines on Swine Flu Prevention. They do not include discouraging skin-to-skin contact in schools. The Nassau County Health Department also stops short of discouraging handshakes and high fives. But Commissioner Maria Torroella Carney is not ruling out more severe restrictions in the future.
"This is a new virus so we don't know how it's going to behave and that's where the concern comes from," said Dr. Carney. "Is this going to change. We can only what's happened over the past few months and it hasn't mutated so that's good news."
Health officials are expecting a rise in the number of swine flu cases when it re-emerges in the fall.
Nationwide, the H1N1 virus could infect as many as half of all Americans, sending nearly 2-million people to the hospital and killing up to 90,000.
In the spring, 47 New Yorkers died from the virus. So far, Nassau and Suffolk counties reportedly have a total of 286 confirmed swine flu cases. Ten people have died after contracting the H1N1 virus - including a pregnant woman.

Sustainable Container Home Selected in Competition for Sydney's Bondi Beach
Czech architect Ales Javurek has been awarded first prize in the [AC-CA] Architectural Competition for his design of a two-story, 340 square meter vacation home utilizing shipping containers in Sydney, Australia. The proposal situates the home on the edge of a 1500 square meter hillside to maximize the striking panoramic view of Bondi Beach. By preserving current trees and the slope's profile, consisting of "three platforms," the proposal successfully addresses the main brief: to design a contemporary, sustainable vacation house which sensitively fits into its context and considers Sydney's climate conditions.

Rise of the New Radical Pragmatist
Using Australia as her focus, Marissa Looby, in a recent article for the Australian Design Review, argues that the disappearance of architectural styles, combined with the proliferation of various guidelines and building codes, has created a new breed of architect: The New Radical Pragmatist. Her article "The New Radical Pragmatist (On Validation)" is reprinted here.
The Architectural Review (December, 1955) first published Reyner Banham's epochal and pivotal article, 'The New Brutalism', in which the critic pointed to the rise of a new architectural style. He also described an influx of -isms that were becoming increasingly conspicuous to the discipline, stemming from the then contemporary model of an art historian and their influence on the architectural historian-as-observer of the architectural profession. Banham incisively suggested that any proposition of the term 'new' has an unequivocal relationship to the past, so much so that in advocating for a new -ism an architectural theoretician must defend their claim with historic fact.
Ironically, Banham acknowledged that even 'The New Brutalism' title derived from The Architectural Review's analysis of the International Style in the postwar article, 'The New Empiricism'. He stated: "[the] ability to deal with such fine shades of historical meaning is in itself a measure of our handiness with the historical method today, and the use of phrases of the form 'The New X-ism' – where X equals any adjectival root – became commonplace in the early 1950s in fourth year studios and other places where architecture is discussed, rather than practised."

If you could have the outlandish strength and agility of Halo's Master Chief, how much would you spend?
For the uninitiated, Master Chief is the hero of the Halo video game series. A heavily genetically enhanced supersoldier, he can run faster, jump higher, see further, think faster, and endure longer than regular humans. So powerful is Master Chief that his alien adversaries think of him as a "demon" because of his ability to destroy hundreds or sometimes thousands of alien soldiers.
And a genetically engineered human isn't a wild fantasy. Researchers have recently made impressive advances in real-life human enhancement — including in human genetic engineering and cyborg enhancements, like mechanical muscles and cognitive implants — that are inching us closer to the technologies that Halo and countless other sci-fi examples predicted. While still purely speculative, these technologies could one day have huge effects on society.
Today, only Usain Bolt can run as fast as Usain Bolt. No matter how hard you or I train, we could never get close to him. The 27-year-old Jamaican has run the 100-meter dash in just 9.58 seconds, 0.16 seconds faster than anyone else, and far faster than the 12 or 15 or 20 seconds it might take a nonathlete to do it. But if you knew precisely which genes contributed to Bolt's speed — muscle texture, bone density, reaction time, mental determination, etc. — it might be possible to implant these genes in humans the way genetic engineers today can implant genes in plants to, for example, make them resistant to pesticides.
Of course, the traditional way that genetic material is distributed is through reproduction, where gene inheritance is determined by random chance. Usain Bolt's children might inherit his speed advantages, or they might not, depending on which genes they inherit. Similarly, the children of ingenious financiers and entrepreneurs might inherit the genes that allowed for their progenitor's ingenuity as well as their fortune, or they might grow up to be fast-spending, hard-partying money squanderers who end up losing the family fortune.
But seriously, imagine that in the future, the children of the wealthy don't just inherit their financial fortune; they are genetically engineered before birth to remain lean, to not get cancer, to run fast, to jump high, to think fast, to see crystal-clear, to sing in perfect pitch, to socialize easily, to remain calm under pressure, and to easily grasp abstract concepts like the subjective theory of value or vector calculus. They may have mechanical muscle enhancements to enhance their strength or speed, too. And their parents can choose genes that will shape their appearance: They could look like Leonardo DiCaprio, Halle Berry, Barack Obama, Selena Gomez, or anyone, really. They are born with a computer implanted in their brains that hooks them up to the internet, allowing them to Google a term in their minds, to take photographs just by looking at things, to send emails just by thinking, or to design and 3-D-print objects just by imagining them. And life-extension technologies could keep them looking and feeling youthful for hundreds of years, too.
Today, people who aren't born to the wealthy have some pretty serious educational, social, and economic disadvantages. Social mobility is falling. But today's privilege would be dwarfed by this possible future's. The kind of economic inequality that genetic alterations and technological enhancements could foster over multiple generations is huge. It could even split the human race: Various groups of transhumans who have been genetically and mechanically enhanced vs. regular humans like me and you who haven't.
Of course, we're not there yet: Human genetic engineering remains in its infancy, used so far only to help couples struggling to conceive. We still don't know exactly which genes give Usain Bolt his speed and exactly how the interaction between genes and environment make a human popular, interesting, or ingenious. And the very concept of eugenics remains rightfully taboo after it was used in the early 20th century to forcibly sterilize vulnerable minority individuals and inspired the Nazi extermination programs against Jews, Gypsies, the disabled, homosexuals, and other minority groups.
So, thankfully, the kind of supersoldiers envisaged in Halo remains a distant prospect. But it's coming.
