The Lake District
The Lake District's dramatic glacial landscape is a haven for walkers, cyclists, sailors and climbing enthusiasts. Only one body of water, Bassenthwaite, is actually a lake. The bigger bodies of water in the Lake District are generally named as amere or water, whilst smaller ones are denoted by tarn. Some refer to Lake Windermere though it's not strictly correct. Well known waters in the area besides Windermere include Derwentwater, Ullswater, Coniston, Thirlmere, Haweswater, Wastwater, Brotherswater and Buttermere, each of which has its own unique character and charm. Oir favourite is Buttermer, not least because the best walk in our opinion is over Red Pike and Haystacks.
Linthwaite House Hotel is an ideal base from which to explore the Lake District and outlying areas. Occupying a convenient location alongside key transport links and close to all the major heritage attractions, there is no shortage of places to visit.
The English Lake District's Literature Trail
What is it about the Lake District, which inspired some of England's greatest writers and artists? During your stay, why not find out about the lives and works of some of the area's most famous people: William Wordsorth, Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin, Arthur Ransome and John Cunliffe (famous for Postman Pat), to name a few.
Dove Cottage in Grasmere was the home of poet and writer William Wordsworth, from 1799 to 1808. Dove Cottage is now the home of the Wordsworth Trust and is the place where Wordsworth spent his most productive years. It is linked to Rydal Mount (Wordsworth's most beloved home) by what is called the Coffin Path, a spectacular 50 minute (gentle) walk, with spectacular views.
Rydal Mount was Wordsworth's home from 1813 until his death in 1850.
If you are keen to follow the trail of William Wordsworth you can also see the graves of William Wordsworth and his family in the village churchyard at Grasmere.
Wordsworth's birthplace is in Cockermouth, north-west of Keswick and you can visit his birthplace and childhood home Wordsworth House, now a national trust property.
Artist and philosopher John Ruskin's history lives on in and around Coniston Water. Coniston Launch (or the National Trust's Gondola) can take you to Brantwood, Ruskin's home on the shores of the Lake. You can drive directly to it if preferred. Open all year.
Of course there are numerous other famous writers, including Beatrix Potter and Arthur Ransome, with strong connections in the Lake District.
Beatrix Potter's home Hilltop, where she wrote many of her famous children's stories, has been kept exactly as she left it, complete with her furniture and china. There is a traditional cottage garden attached to the 17th-century house. Pictured above is the World of Beatrix Potter an attraction where the Lakeland tales of Beatrix Potter are brought to life. Visitors can also learn more about the life of Beatrix Potter.
Arthur Ransome based a lot of the places in his books on real places many of which were places in the Lake District. Lake Windermere and Consiton Water was the setting for Swallows and Amazons and it is thought that 'wild cat island' is in fact Peel island on Consiton Water. Captain flint's houseboat was inspired by the Steam Yacht Gondola which still sails around Coniston, although this was eventually modelled on Esperance (now at Windermere Steamboat Musem). Coniston Launch offers special interest cruises that explore the locations used by Arthur Ransome in his books.
John Cunliffe, creator of Postman Pat, lived and taught in the area. His Postman Pat books are set in Kendal and the remote valley of Longsleddale.
Historic Houses & Gardens
The Lake District offers an array of places to visit and is home to many magnificent Historic Houses and Gardens. If you are you an avid gardener or enjoy looking at what other people achieve in theirs we're sure you will enjoy looking around some of the best gardens in the Lake District.

Counter-Strike: Source Summary
Latest news
Open Beta coming this month for Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies
Yep, more zombies. An open beta is on the way for free-to-play shooter Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies later this month on Steam.
If you haven't heard about this one, it's the Western version of Korean developer Nexon's Counter-Strike Online. Basically, imagine classic Counter-Strike with a load of zombies and nuts game modes thrown in.
Virtuix Omni demo shows Counterstrike played with full-body VR
Pssh, VR headsets are already so last year. Here's a video showing the Virtuix Omni in action, a combination treadmill, Oculus Rift and motion controller that's the closest we've come so far to a full-body VR experience.
Alright, so the chap playing Counterstrike looks a little silly, but it does seem like he can at least keep up with the guys using traditional setups.
Valve to reveal next week the studio's plans for Linux-based hardware
Gabe Newell during his presentation at LinuxCon in New Orleans has said Valve will be unveiling their plans for Linux-based hardware soon, as the studio boss cried Linux was the "future of gaming".
Next week they'll discuss their open source platform based on the OS, promising that "none of the proprietary closed platforms" will come close to their dreams.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive SDK dropping 3 months after game release
According to Valve, the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive software development kit is being developed by Mike Durand, and will be dropping three months after the game is released. The SDK, of course, will allow players to mod the game as well as create new maps.
Valve games sold on Origin
Some might fight it very odd that various Valve games are appearing on Electronic Arts' Origin service. Since Electronic Arts has pulled games like Dragon Age II from Steam because of conflicting policies on downloadable content, why in the world would Valve games appear on Origin?

SHAKESPEAREAN FESTIVAL NETS $450 All Classes Contribute About $450 was cleared for the Endow- ment Fund by the Shakespearean Festi- val held on the campus last Saturday though $800 was taken In. A. Werner '16 managed the fete to which all the classes contributed, the Seniors serving refreshments in the cloister and the Juniors supper. The Sophomores sold candy and flowers and the Freshmen gave folk dances. "As You Like It", given in the cloisters by the alumnae of the Agnes Irwln School in Philadelphia, was noteworthy for the clear speaking of the actors�they were trained by Mr. King�and the pictur- esqueness of the costumes. The cloisters made a charming setting. After the performance the Fuller Sis- ters gave a song recital of old English ballads which they have collected from the country people of Somersetshire and Surrey. In the interval between the songs the Freshmen gave a series of Eng- lish country dances. Supper was served by the Juniors on Denbigh Green and in front of Pembroke East and West, under the efficient man- agement of O. Malone '17. The supper cleared over $50. Smocks, hats, candy and flowers were sold on the campus and in the evening there was dancing in the Gymnasium to the Freshman orchestra. BRYN MAWR GRADUATE RECEIVES FELLOWSHIP Virginia Baker, '16. has been appointed to a graduate scholarship in the Sage School of Philosophy In Cornell Univer- sity. Marion Crane, '11. who is holding the scholarship this year on reappolntment. the first ever nude either to men or women, Is about to take her Ph.D. In phil- osophy at Cornell. "VICTORIA'S NIGHTINGALE WHISTLES" Or Dr. Shaw Speaks on Suffrage "Queen Victoria's Nightingale to Speak on Missing Link"! flamed the billboards in the Western town where Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, now honorary president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, spoke in 1886. Dr. Shaw, Introduced last Friday night as speaking on "Suffrage in 1850 and 1916", said she would pay as much attention to this sub- ject as she had to the Missing Link. "I knew as much about the Missing Link", explained Dr. Shaw, "as I did about the rumor that I had whistled before Queen Victoria. However, as it was In- sisted that I at least mention the subject I told the audience that woman was the missing link in suffrage and delivered a lecture on Votes for Women. I shall bring in to-night's subject In somewhat the same way". Antis Are Strong Point for Suffrage In Uie speech that followed, Dr. Shaw held her large audience by the happy art of both amusing and stirring them. Her collection of the contradictory arguments against Woman Suffrage provoked a mix- ture of laughter and scorn. Woman should not have the vote, ac- cording to the Antis, said Dr. Shaw, be- cause if she did she wouldn't use it,�and also because she would do nothing but vote. Wives would vote differently from their husbands. This would cause dis- cord In families. Wives would vote the same as their husbands. This would sim- ply double the vote. And so on until, as Dr. Shaw said, the arguments against suf- frage are the best points In favor of it. Watchful Waiting a Poor Policy Against what she termed "pseudo- patriotic hysteria" Dr. Shaw felt strongly. (Continued on Pate 2) 1916 OUTPLAYS 1919, 15 TO 11 EVEN CLASS AGAIN ROLLS HOOPS E. Hill '16 Stan at Free Goal Throwing j Fourth Orals Fatal for Last Rsd Class DR. KINGSBURY URGES ATTENTION TO UNDERGRADUATE PROBLEMS B. M. Represented at Settlement Conference Bryn Mawr was well represented at the annual College Settlement Conference held at the Summer Camp of the New York College Settlement, ML Ivy. Among those present were Pauline Goldmark '96, Mrs. Macan (Helen Amy '04), Dorothy Weston '14, E. Dulles '17, undergraduate elector, L. Wood '19. Dr. Kingsbury urged more cooperation on the part of the College Settlement with the undergraduates in the working out of their problems. Students are keenly in- terested In social work, she said, but it is community problems not necessarily set- tlement work, that they wish to learn about She said the question that is asked by the student over and over again is "What can I do when I get home"? and the College Settlement must answer this. The Settlement Interest at Bryn Mawr this year has been an indication of this fact, she claimed; the students wished to study problems such as they would meet in their home communities. "It is not settlement work but community educa- tion towards which people are tending to- day". Economic Courses Adequate In describing the first year's work of the Carols Woerishoffer Department, Dr. Kingsbury said that the instruction in hy- giene is Insufficient, but the economic (Conhnumt on Pagt 4) The Seniors won in the second game of their series with the Freshmen on ' Thursday, 15 to 11. 1919*8 constant foul- ing accounted largely for their opponent's score.

RUSSIAN CHOIR TO SING NEXT FRIDAY Concert the Gift of Mr. Crane The Russian Choir, which will sing next Friday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in the cloisters, was brought to the St. Nich- olas Cathedral, New York, three years ago by Mr. Charles K. Crane. The leader is M. Ivan T. Gorokhoff. of Moscow. The concert is the gift of Mr. Crane to the College. The distinctive feature of the choir Is the deep bass, contra basso, of one of the men�a voice found only in Russia�and which Is scarcely human, merely deep vi- brations. The choir consists of thirty men and boys. Usually they sing in the rich blue, scarlet and gold vestments of the Greek church. Modern music as well as the ancient chants of the church, make up the program. Boys Are Children of Emigrants Last year, owing to the war, the choir could give no concerts as many of the singers had to return to Russia. The Archbishop, Most Reverend Evodklm, of Aleutia and North America, has since se- cured substitutes from Lemburg, Naples, Athens and other places. The boy mem- bers of the choir are children of emi- grants. The "Outlook" for last December said that this is "music such as only Russia could produce. It is the expression of a people who have developed a keen sense of beauty out of their suffering. In con- trast to it the Anglican music which we in America have inherited is superficial". FRENCH WAR SLANG TRANSLATED Preserving unbroken the record of the even classes, 1916 rolled their hoops after the fourth French and German orals last Saturday. The last odd class which could not roll hoops was a red class, 1913. In the German oral, which came sec- ond, two persons were called back to read again and the suspense of the Seniors, sit- ting with their hoops on Senior Steps, was beginning to infect the crowd when the Sophomore runner brought the glad word, relayed down through Taylor, of "Passed". , Later, after the rolling of the hoops, it was learned that E. Washburn, '16, taking the Orals Saturday for the first time, had passed them both. As Miss Washburn la technically 1917, 1916 could have rolled their hoops even If she had failed. 1919 WIN CLOSE GAME WITH 1917 The Freshmen defeated the Juniors Tuesday 16 to 12 in the first game of the finals. The playing was fast but slipshod. The chief interest of the game lay in the steady foul goal throwing of M. Peacock. Line-up: 1917 1819 C. Stereos ........B. P. mrnn. B. Lanler N.

M. Mackenzie came second. These reports, together with those of V. Morgan '19, J. Hemenway '18, and R. Rhoads '18, have been put in the C. A. Library. RETURNS OF SELF-GOV ELECTIONS M. Stair and M. L. Thurman New Officers Two French books, "Gaspard", by Rene Goncourt for the year 1915 and "L'Argot des Tranchees by Sainean, have been put in the New Book Room. "Gaspard", a story of the French Army at the front, is full of the slang which has come back from the trenches since the beginning of the war. M. Salnean's book is a diction- ary of this vocabulary and the author uses "Gaspard" as one of the documents which supply his glossary. He attempts to trace the origin of such words as "Boche", "Poilu". etc. It is impossible to say how many of these words will remain permanently in the French language: It is however, equally Impossible to read the French of to-day without some such special diction- ary. With the new treasurer, M. L. Thurman '19, the Self-Government elections of offi- cers and Executive Board for the year 1916-17 closed last Tuesday. The polls, held In each hall, were open Wednesday for the election of head proctors. These with the secretary, M. Stair '18, form the Advisory Board of Self-Government. The newly elected chairman of the Graduate Committee, H. E. Wieand, A.M.. and the two members from 1918, C. Dodge and M. O'Connor, together with the Presir denL Vice-President, and Treasurer, form the new Executive Board. The new officers of the Association are: President, C. Stevens '17; Vloe- President, C. Hall '17; Secretary, M. Stair "18; Treasurer. M. L. Thurman '19. The retiring officers are: M. Russell '16, C. Dowd '16. E. Emerson '17. C. Dodge '18. Mrs. Pankhurst, the English suffragist, complimented at a tea in New York the pretty feet and ankles of the American girl. "And It's necessary to have pretty feet and ankles with the present fashions'*, she said. "Such faalhona! If brevity la the soul of wit. then the skirts of today ought to cause a lot of laughter".

Are Digital Audio Workstations Taking Over Production Business
It is true that digital audio workstations are slowly beginning to supplant the more traditional means of recording and producing music in the industry. There are many reasons for this. Above all else is cost and ease of use of the equipment.
Digital audio workstations are sometimes referred to by the acronym, DAW, for short. The idea behind a digital audio workstation is to give musicians the ability to record, edit and play back music without the hassle of messing with physical tape Read the rest of this entry »

Is Pro Tools Worth Buying Compared To Other Software Programs
Work With What You Are Familiar With
In considering what type of digital recording software program you should use, you should definitely use the program you are most familiar to. In short, if you have years of experience working with Cubase, then you should stick with this recording format. The reason for this is most engineers take years to learn one program very well. It is very difficult and time consuming to switch software programs late in the game. However, Read the rest of this entry »
Review On Audacity Music Recording Software
Audacity is a free, open source, cross-platform, music editing and recording program. For musicians who cannot afford to spend 600 on a ProTools console, or even spend 100 on a basic four-track device, Audacity offers an unbiased and classless entry for anyone interested in sound recording and editing.
Since Audacity was developed and launched by Dominic Mazzoni and Roger Dannenberg in May of 2000, the program has remained a strong bastion of quality freeware, despite ample opportunity to sell out and begin charging customers for usage.
Although lacking some of the high-end features of expensive recording software, Audacity comes loaded Read the rest of this entry »
How Technology Has Changed The Way We Listen To Music
Technology has forever changed how we listen, relate and get our hands on music. Part of the reason is because of online streaming services that consumers use. These streaming services would not be available if it weren't for the internet companies like the one in CLEAR wireless internet in Cypress. Take a look at how our advancement in technology has altered how we experience music.
Record players and radios. Before the convenience and freedom we got from Apple products, people only had radios and record players to rely on for music distribution. Record players evolved from the Thomas Edison prototype to a modern 20th century version, mostly improved turntable, needle and stylus.
Eight-track player. Eight-tracks grew increasingly popular from the 1960s on through the 1980s in the United States, thanks to Ford including an eight-track player in its Mustangs . Eight-track tapes could hold around 45 minutes of music, and was the premier technology for cassette tapes.
Portable CD player. Believe it or not, the first portable CD player was developed as early as 1984. Early versions were susceptible to CDs skipping, which was mostly rectified by the time CD players were commercially huge in the 90s. Portable CD players were all the rage, as were huge books to hold all of your CDs, since only one could play at a time.
iPod. Skip ahead to the iPod, which was released back in 2001 and is still going strong thanks to the minds and innovation at Apple. iPods have gotten smaller while the amount of music the hold has grown immensely. iPods wouldn't be what they are without iTunes, which in itself has changed the music industry forever. Instead of pirating music, you can quickly download individual songs and albums straight to iTunes to upload to your iPod.
iPhone. The first iPhone was released in 2007, and has now become part smartphone part iPod. Now iPhone users can just use their phones to listen to music instead of having to tote around an iPhone and an iPod.
As people continue to get smarter, so will the technology we use to listen to music, whether it's more online radio streaming services like Pandora or hybrid online platforms like Spotify.

Rapfix Live Expecting Live Performance From Machine Gun Kelly
MTV was expecting a live pre-album release performance from Machine Gun Kelly. In the interview Machine Gun Kelly actually sat down to talk about his lyrics and where he came from.
Many people may want to compare this artist to Eminem because they both have the same "wrong side of the tracks" image, but Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) seems to be a little harder. His MTV appearance is the first that some people have seen of him, but he is known well in the Cleveland community where he is Read the rest of this entry »
Is American Idol Becoming A Thing Of The Past
When "American Idol" first began airing in June 2002, it was more of an experiment than a budding phenomenon. Though the show's format had been successful in other countries, it was not known if it would connect with Americans audiences. Talent shows such as "Star Search" had peaked in the 1980s, but the 1990s saw a decline in interest in these types of shows. Ultimately, "Idol" took hold in a big way, quickly becoming the top show on television.
"American Idol" has maintained its dominance on the U.S. television market. It has been the top show in the country for Read the rest of this entry »

Ultra-fantastic, all natural skin care
Our moisturizing, all-purpose balm is made with plant waxes and nothing else. No petroleum jelly, no mineral oils - just natural goodness. Ultrabalm is versatile because we keep it simple, with only three naturally effective ingredients. We also believe in using the best quality organic, fair trade and vegan (whenever possible) ingredients in our products. Our mix of candelilla wax and organic jojoba oil is a vegan alternative to beeswax; it creates a protective barrier on the skin and locks in moisture, while rose wax soothes irritations. Apply to scrapes to relieve discomfort, to tame flyaway hair, or even as a lip balm.
- Simple, effective skin care: Simplicity at its best, for those who love no nonsense skin care.
- Ultrawhere and everywhere: Ultrabalm is our multi-purpose wonder and can be used anywhere – dry heels, chapped lips, and even on fly away hair.
- Vegans and non-vegans rejoice: Candelilla wax (a vegan alternative to beeswax) helps the skin retain moisture.

Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition involving changes in part of the X chromosome. It is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability in boys.
Martin-Bell syndrome; Marker X syndrome
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a change in a gene called FMR1. A small part of the gene code is repeated on a fragile area of the X chromosome. The more repeats, the more likely the condition will occur.
The FMR1 gene makes a protein needed for your brain to function properly. A defect in the gene makes your body produce too little of the protein, or none at all.
Boys and girls can both be affected, but because boys have only one X chromosome, a single fragile X is likely to affect them more severely. You can have fragile X syndrome even if your parents do not have it.
A family history of fragile X syndrome, developmental problems, or intellectual disability may not be present.
Behavior problems associated with fragile X syndrome include:
Physical signs may include:
Some of these problems are present at birth, while others may not develop until after puberty.
Family members who have fewer repeats in the FMR1 gene may not have intellectual disability. Women may have premature menopause or difficulty becoming pregnant. Both men and women may have problems with tremors and poor coordination.
There are very few outward signs of Fragile X syndrome in babies. Some signs may include:
In females, excess shyness may be the only sign of the disorder.
Genetic testing can diagnose this disease.
There is no specific treatment for Fragile X syndrome. Instead, training and education have been developed to help affected children function at the highest possible level.
National Fragile X Foundation -- www.fragilex.org
How well the patient does depends on the amount of intellectual disability.
Complications vary depending on the type and severity of symptoms.
Fragile X syndrome can be a cause of autism or related disorders, although not all children with fragile X syndrome have these conditions.
Genetic counseling may be helpful if you have a family history of this syndrome and are planning to become pregnant.

Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids.
Acidosis - metabolic
Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid, or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
There are several types of metabolic acidosis:
Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA): Develops when acidic substances known as ketone bodies, build up in the body. This occurs with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes
Hyperchloremic acidosis: Results from excessive loss of sodium bicarbonate from the body. This can occur with severe diarrhea
Lactic acidosis: Results from a buildup of lactic acid. It can be caused by:
Other causes of metabolic acidosis include:
Most symptoms are caused by the underlying disease or condition that is causing the metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis itself usually causes rapid breathing. Confusion or lethargy may also occur. Severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death. In some situations, metabolic acidosis can be a mild, chronic (ongoing) condition.
Arterial blood gas analysis and a serum electrolytes test (such as a basic metabolic panel) will confirm acidosis is present and determine whether it is respiratory acidosis or metabolic acidosis.
Other test may be needed to determine the cause of the acidosis.
Treatment is aimed at the underlying condition. In some cases, sodium bicarbonate (the chemical in baking soda) may be given to reduce the acidity of the blood.
The outlook will depend on the underlying disease causing the condition.
Very severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death.
Seek medical help if you have symptoms of any disease that can cause metabolic acidosis.
Diabetic ketoacidosis can be prevented by keeping type 1 diabetes under control.

McDonnell Douglas MD-88 (N941DL)I was the one that reported this to CNN and sent in the pictures on May 28th. Delta MD88 blew a tire on landing and caused a fire on the right rear side of the plane. Pilot had to evacuate the aircraft. Happened to be spotting from my balcony at the Renaissance when this happened. Comments

Trying lots of really good rums tonight. Here's one of my faves. Samaraoli distilled in 1995 bottled in Scotland-go figure.
I was just obsessing over that stuff while perusing the selections at www.drinkupny.com where I order most of my liquor. Please tell me how it is! That fella who produces those rums sure does take it seriously! He sources different rums from around the world and then brings them back to Scotland for aging! Yours is the exact one I was thinking of buying!Looking forward to your review!John K
I'm no rumophile but I really did enjoy this. It was super clean yet complex. Vanilla and honey with a little bit of funk and a hint of iodine. Sounds crazy but it really worked. The price for a whiskey that quality and that rare seems like a deal to me.
I will definitely keep it on my list. Funny that you called it a "whiskey" above! Many of the Rums I have been drinking recently remind me much more of my favorite whiskies than anything else!For now, it's me and Johnny Drum. $22 and I could drink it every day for the rest of my life. Kinda like a liquid salted caramel.
Waiting until tomorrow (when my brother arrives) to crack this baby! It's $110 in the states (if you can find it) but it was $60 down in Turks + Caicos 2 weeks ago. I've already tried it before and I think it tastes like the best wheated (no rye) bourbon I've ever had.
So you like the Bacardi Reserva? I have not tried it, but if you think it's worth it, I'm getting some for sure. I was down in San Juan a couple weeks ago, and it was something like $89 at the distillery (don't waste your time if you go to Puerto Rico - the tour/tasting is a total joke). They had it stacked floor to ceiling. I looked it up at our local chain, and it is $93, so I didn't get one and have to haul it around with me. I guess a couple years ago, it was only available at the distillery. From talking to them, I got the feeling that it won't be long until you see it everywhere.
1945 Bas Armagnac. With a Monticristo Edmundo Cubano.
A caipirinha. Made with Cachaça 51, sugar, lime and hand-cut ice. A perfect way to wrap up a sunny Saturday in SoCal.

California's landmark environmental bill AB 32 mandated a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The policies it set in place have worked, and the state is on track to meet its goal. But what happens after 2020? With this target date less than six years away, it's time to set a new objective for continued success in reducing emissions.
It's election season and time for SPUR's in-depth analysis of local San Francisco ballot measures. Don't want to wade through our 30-page voter guide? Check out this quick summary of all our recommendations. For those who do want to nerd out, don't worry — we've included links to our complete analysis.
A recent article in the Atlantic argues that San Francisco's new urban agriculture property tax incentive will only exacerbate the problem of limited housing supply in an already overheated housing market. We share the author's concern about housing affordability, but his critique of this policy, which SPUR worked to pass, misses the mark.
Is the transportation always greener on the other side of the fence? Helsinki, Finland, recently announced a plan for a transit system that would make car ownership a thing of the past within the next 10 years. SPUR examines how the Bay Area could take inspiration from this integrated, single-payment, mobility-on-demand system.
How can we get past stagnant partisan arguments about climate change and begin looking at its impact on economic planning and investment? Kate Gordon of Next Generation presented this question at a SPUR lunchtime forum on the Risky Business Project, a nonpartisan effort to quantify and publicize the economic risks from climate change impacts.
No one in San Francisco is arguing about whether real estate is expensive. There is, however, some debate about how to characterize the astronomical prices. Now that median home values have returned to pre-recession highs, some are compelled to ask: Are we in another housing bubble? Real estate experts Jed Kolko and Tim Cornwell spoke to this question at a recent SPUR forum....
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has passed California's first urban agriculture incentive zone. The new law allows a tax break for SF property owners who dedicate their land to agricultural use for at least five years. The final legislation included a few important amendments.
In June, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case concerning whether California's Low-Carbon Fuel Standard program discriminated against fuels produced out of state, allowing the program to continue functioning unhindered. The decision received little media attention, but it is crucially important for California's climate action goals. SPUR explores the impact of this poorly understood policy on the state's climate goals and the fuel industry.
Despite more than $1 billion in capital investments on Highway 101 over the past 20 years, the connection between San Francisco and Silicon Valley still has some of the worst traffic delays in the Bay Area. Alleviating traffic on 101 will require viable alternatives to driving through both transportation and land use changes. SPUR proposes a three-pronged approach to managing growth in the corridor.
Our state and region are booming. After dropping from the world's fifth largest economy to its 10th, the state has risen back up to eighth place. But challenges remain. Housing costs are soaring, unemployment remains high and few middle-wage jobs exist. The Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy shares new economic data about the region and state.
San Francisco is once again poised to be a pioneer in urban agriculture policy. In June, Supervisor David Chiu introduced an ordinance that create California's first urban agriculture incentive zone and allow property owners who contract their land into urban agricultural use for at least five years to receive a property tax reduction
Why is it taking so long to retrofit our car-oriented cities to make them more walkable and bikeable? In part, it's because of an antiquated engineering concept called "auto level of service" or LOS. Here's how LOS came to control our built environment — and what the State of California is doing to release the hold this little-known metric has had on our cities.
SPUR is leading a transportation study at Ocean Beach to further develop the access and circulation recommendations of the Ocean Beach Master Plan. The transportation design team has proposed a new solution for Skyline Boulevard: a series of well designed modern roundabouts.
The Central Subway extension of the T-Third light rail to Chinatown doesn't include a plan for future service to North Beach or the neighborhoods beyond. A community-led movement is ensuring the proper evaluation of the light rail extension. Residential, commercial, transit and tourist hubs are heavily concentrated on the eastern side of the city, yet not enough fast and reliable transit connections exist between them.
California's high-speed rail project, which will connect Los Angeles to San Francisco in under three hours, is making progress on numerous fronts. There are updates surrounding the project's construction, routes, funding, lawsuits and new business plan.
Between 2013 and 2020, California will earn between $12 billion and $45 billion in cap-and-trade revenue. The state has already received hundreds of millions of dollars from auction revenues over the last 18 months, with that number poised to be in the billions annually within a few years. Now the state needs to decide: How will the money be spent?
After many months of planning, San Francisco's new urban agriculture program launched in January. The program, designed to coordinate and increase the city's support for city farmers and gardeners, recently released details about its first year priorities.
SPUR recently hosted a charrette to look at how we can make the region's array of transit operators function more like one clear, understandable system. Transit operators, regional planners, transporation experts and private transportation providers gathered to share what they've learned and where the opportunities lie.
As California grapples with one of its worst droughts in recorded history, many in the Bay Area are wondering what should be done to ensure that we have sufficient water. Luckily, water agencies in our region are already leading the way on innovative approaches to reduce demand by fostering water conservation and efficiency. Here's what's working.
Across California, communities have started food policy councils so that local advocates for food producers and consumers can work together to improve the food system. Earlier this year, a coalition of these groups published an analysis of legislators' voting records on 10 different food and agriculture bills.
After a 20-year public process, a project to convert a landslide-prone portion of Highway 1 into a multi-use coastal trail is finally complete. The new Devil's Slide Trail welcomes hikers, cyclists, horse riders and dog walkers. With its similarities to erosion-damaged sections of the Great Highway, Devil's Slide offers a model for implementing some of the recommendations in SPUR's Ocean Beach Master Plan.
SPUR's 34th annual Good Government Awards recognized the City of San Francisco's Legal Educational Advocacy Program Team for improving educational outcomes for youth in the juvenile justice system and curbing the cycle of young people who go back into the system.
SPUR's 34th annual Good Government Awards recognized Zoon Nguyen for rolling out the San Francisco assessor-recorder's electronic system, increasing regular assessments and helping the city issue 500 marriage licenses in one weekend after the federal court announced the resumption of same-sex marriages.
SPUR's 34th annual Good Government Awards recognized San Francisco's Fire Rim Emergency Response Team for its quick, collaborative and strategic response to the 2013 Rim Fire, the third largest wildfire in California history.
Earlier this month, San Francisco's leading economists met to predict the future. Each year, SPUR's Municipal Fiscal Advisory Committee brings together city staff and independent economic experts from sectors including real estate, hospitality and retail. This year's Annual Economic Briefing illuminated several key economic trends impacting the city this year.

Dr. Vladamir Lange (the author) and his wife, Mandy, are both physicians, yet when they first learned that Mandy had breast cancer, they were overwhelmed with the information being presented to them. When a woman first hears the words "you have breast cancer", shock, anger and disbelief can consume their emotions. Unfortunately, it is at this very time that numerous treatment options and decisions are coming your way, most of which you've never even heard of, let alone understand. Educating yourself is the key to making decisions that you can live with – How can I do this, you ask? Read Dr. Lange's book.
Be a Survivor is like taking Breast Cancer 101 at the local college. The author has modeled the chapters after the path most women follow: diagnosis and staging, surgery and reconstruction, treatment and recovery. The chapters are easy to read and understand and include diagrams and photographs to help further clarify complicated topics. The photos of mastectomy and reconstruction outcomes can be very helpful in visualizing what the surgeon tells you. The book includes a DVD that contains patient interviews, animated graphics and film clips from procedures discussed in the book.
Chapter 1 is my particular favorite. It covers things like telling family & friends (including the kids), your rights at work, and gathering support and assistance. As an oncology nurse, I cannot tell you how often I see families try to put on "a good face" for the kids. Dr. Lange shares with the reader an essay his 11 year old daughter had written when her mother was battling breast cancer. It is a touching reminder how important it is to include children in discussions; they are surprisingly insightful and may be thinking things are worse than they really are.
As the husband and partner of a woman with breast cancer, Dr. Lange has thoughtfully included a chapter just for the partners, who are often given a back seat to the patient. Dr. Lange has called on many experts in the field to create this up to date, comprehensive guide to breast cancer. The fourth edition includes some additional information about immunotherapy and radiation techniques, but if a friend gives you the 3 rd edition, you are still getting comprehensive, helpful information. His personal experience with the disease has made this resource like getting the information from a friend, one who wants to help you make well-informed decisions.
Mar 17, 2010 - In patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy, magnetic resonance-guided ablation using laser interstitial thermal therapy and cryoablation may be a feasible treatment, according to research presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Interventional Radiology, held from March 13 to 18 in Tampa, Fla. In addition, cryotherapy may be a feasible treatment for breast cancer patients who refuse surgery, according to other research presented at the conference.

Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna Steak
I had been seeing some really amazing photos of some barely seared tuna steaks around the blog sphere and I just had to try it. I like a nice barely seared beef steak and I was wondering what a tuna steak would be like. A few of the tuna steaks that I saw were crusted in sesame seeds which sounded pretty interesting. The tuna was really easy to make. You just crust the steak with sesame seeds and sear it for a few minutes on either side. You want to be careful not to over cook it as fully cooked tuna can be a bit dry. The seared tuna steak was really good. It was nice and moist and tender. The sesame seeds added a nice contrast in texture. I served the sesame crusted tuna on rice with some orange teriyaki sauce and some asparagus on the side.
1 5 ounce ahi tuna steak
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds (toasted)
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds (toasted)
1 tablespoon oil
1. Press the tuna steak into the sesame seeds to coat.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Fry the tuna steak for 2 minutes per side.

As I'm sure all of my most devoted readers have noticed, I've taken a hiatus from the blogging world, but as I return, I realize there is so much to catch you all up on. So, I'll begin in the most relevant spot: food.
I would be a dirty liar if I didn't admit that food consumes a good third of my mental energies. What should I eat? How hungry am I? Should I pour a bowl of cereal even though I just wolfed down dinner? The answer to that last one is often an emphatic "YES."
One of the perks of going home (Mom and Dad, I hope you're reading) is the home-cooked meals. Not to bash Butler's buffets or burgers, but there's something satisfying, even sentimental about returning to the food that kept me fed and satisfied the first eighteen years of my life. It's the atmosphere of being home, joking with my family, catching up, and simply enjoying the fam.
People often equate the "Freshmen Fifteen" to departing for college, but I take the threat of those fifteen additional pounds most seriously when I return home.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Nancy Eckerson: Learn to embrace the pain
Sunday, September 30, 2012
Sometimes our biggest battles aren't visible to anyone else; they are the ones we fight alone. As a long distance runner, each run and each race presents opportunities to find out what we are made of, to go a little faster or a little farther, to push outside of our limits, whether they are real or ones that we have set for ourselves.In most races, there comes a point when I begin to question my sanity for voluntarily signing up for it, and I think that there just has to be a better way to spend time, such as stopping immediately and perhaps never running again. Usually, this is when I try to disassociate from the discomfort, turn up the volume on the iPod, orcount from one to ten over and over. But lately, when I reach that point, instead of avoiding it, I am working on acknowledging the pain, knowing it was going to come, and trying to push a little harder. When the race is over, memory of the pain disappears almost immediately, and we are left with the results and whether or not when it became difficult, we did or didn't give it everything we had. |
