Freely Redistributable Software is Alive and Well
Finally, here I am on a late night flight on my way back to Seattle so I guess I am done with what I need to tell you about the conference. We intend to keep up on plans for the next Freely Redistributable Software Conference and will let you know about it in plenty of time so you can attend. If you want to rub elbows with some of the important people in the free software movement, get genuinely inspired by the high interest level in Linux, learn something new and maybe drink a real or virtual beer or two, it is the right conference to attend.
The following papers were presented at the Sunday conference. Note that a printed copy of the proceedings is available for $25 (postpaid in the U.S., add $10 for foreign airmail) from Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Every Tuesday and Thursday Harrison's Municipal Building changes character. From a quiet administrative center, the building morphs into a busy center for the town's criminal court.
The court hearings play out in the same room that town hall meetings take place, but you would be hard pressed to see any other similarities. Street-side, from 8 a.m. on, it's nearly impossible to get a parking space. Police cars, visitors' vehicles and prisoner transfer vans line the street. Inside the lobby, a walk-through metal detector screens visitors as they enter and bags are searched. There are additional security personnel brought in and prisoners and their families all pass through the lobby on their way to their hearings.
Harrison's Police Chief Anthony Marraccini said between one and 12 prisoners are transported to the building each court day. They schedule most speeding and other traffic infringement hearings on Thursdays. The more serious charges—which include everything from misdemeanors and violations to homicide—are heard on Tuesdays.
Marraccini cited one prisoner charged with assault in Harrison who had been charged 150 times in New York State, some of those charges being violent felonies. Marraccini ssaid St Vincent's Hospital also brings in people from different areas with serious mental health issues or substance abuse, that in turn bring additional criminal elements into the community.
The transportation of prisoners generally requires two officers for each prisoner. Additional security personnel are required in the building lobby and in the courtroom. Due to cost-cutting measures, the HPD has enlisted unarmed civilian personnel to assist with these security measures. Prisoners have leg shackles and hand restraints to ensure they are no harm to themselves, other prisoners or to the general public.
Marraccini said any unruliness in the courtroom is dealt with quickly and the police have never had to use tasers; the threat of using them being enough to subdue any major problems.
But there is little doubt the use of the civilian building poses problems. There is no secure holding cell at town hall and shackled prisoners mix with residents who arrive with regular business at town hall, in addition to administrative staff. Apart from the prisoners themselves, the court hearings can also draw large crowds of family or supporters from out of the area, both of which can be problematic.
Harrison Mayor/Supervisor Ron Belmont has a story about the uneasy mix of the municipal building's functions. He said one day he was coming into work in his previous position in the recreation department and saw several very large, very intimidating men in orange prisoner jumpsuits and leg shackles shuffling through the lobby on their way into court. Staff members—including Belmont—raised eyebrows at their size, and were glad to see the restraints on their hands and ankles.
Problem was, Belmont said, 15 minutes later at their court hearing the men were given bail, at which time they changed clothes in the municipal building's bathrooms and then sat in the lobby for the rest of the day, much to the discomfort of the staff who had seen them earlier. The story always gets a laugh, but highlights the difficulties with mixing courtroom and municipal functions in one building.
Marraccini maintains that the ideal solution to these issues is to have the current police station extended to include a courthouse. The transporting of prisoners would be more efficient between county jails and the local precinct, holding cells and staff would already be in place and everything could be done under one roof. But with the town's tight finances no one sees this, or any other solution, materializing in the near future.
In the meantime, we continue to live with this odd mix of functions at our town's administrative center and trust that the security measures in place are enough to ensure the security of everyone involved.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board is taking a close look at the functions performed by commercial mortgage-backed securities servicers regarding FAS 140. The issue first came into focus last year when Ernst & Young held up the audits of several b-piece buyers. FASB has now opened a formal project to address QSPE and excess servicer discretion issues. Industry representatives acting under the umbrella of the Capital Consortium are set to meet with FASB officials on Feb. 9 to try to forge a solution, said Rick Jones, a partner at Dechert, who leads the effort.
The issue is a serious one. FAS 140 provides that qualified special purpose entities (QSPEs) to which sellers transfer loans in securitizations may only engage in activities which are significantly limited and entirely specified in the legal documents that establish the QSPE. The issue is whether the traditional servicing functions of securitization vehicles meet this standard. If the servicer exceeds the QSPE guidelines set out in FAS 140, loan sellers may be prohibited from booking the transactions as sales for GAAP purposes, Jones said. "If sellers don't achieve true sales treatment, CMBS securitization programs will not contribute to earnings and the loans purported to have been sold will remain on the sellers' books. The transactions would be treated as if the sellers borrowed money and did not sell loans," he said. Moreover, if the securitization vehicles are not QSPEs, the B piece buyer for each pool may be required to consolidate all of the assets and liabilities of the purchased pool on its books, ballooning balance sheets with assets not actually owned and liabilities for which the B buyer has no legal responsibility.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's staff for accounting policy and corporate finance also has become aware of the debate and last year requested a meeting to better understand the issue. "We told them how the industry conducted itself with regard to FAS 140 and that we firmly believed our structures meet the requirements for sale treatment. However, the SEC apparently thought the auditors had raised issues which needed further consideration," Jones said. A few weeks after the meeting, the SEC formally requested that FASB reconsider these issues.
The specific servicing functions which have attracted attention are:
* Due on sale provision, which governs what happens to a mortgage when a property is sold. Mortgages are often assumed by new buyers
* Substitution of collateral. In some limited circumstances, when permitted by the loan documents, borrowers can replace one piece of collateral with a similar piece of collateral.
* The process by which a servicer, after a property has become REO, sells the property. Under the REMIC statutes that govern CMBS, the property has to be sold within three years.
The worst possible outcome, which Jones said is unlikely, is that many CMBS sellers might have to revise audited financials for years beginning in 2000, reversing gains on sales and adding billions in assets and liabilities to balance sheets, while B piece buyers would be obliged to consolidate the same billions of dollars of loans and attendant debt onto their balance sheets. "This would be bad," he said. Jones is hopeful that new guidance will address the concerns and permit the CMBS business to continue to operate efficiently. So far, audits have been going through and business is going on as usual in the CMBS market. "Such an analysis is a horror show in the real world," Jones said.
Lisa Filomia-Aktas, a partner and practice leader of Ernst & Young's On-Call Advisory Services Group, noted that the FASB project on servicer discretion could have an impact on other sectors. "Although these issues are much more prevalent and arose from CMBS, they may also be troublesome in other asset classes, such as RMBS," she said. But CMBS servicers have more discretion than servicers in other asset classes, she added

Yasmin R. Figueroa, 20, of the 700 block of North 7th Street, Camden, is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office on a warrant.
Figueroa failed to appear in state Superior Court in Woodbury on Jan. 23, 2013 for a pre-arraignment interview on a charge of criminal attempt to obtain a controlled dangerous substance by fraud, according to the prosecutor's office.
Figueroa is 5-foot-6, weighs 185 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair. She has a skull tattoo on her back.
On July 17, 2012, a Woodbury police officer responded to CVS pharmacy on Red Bank Avenue for a report of a woman attempting to use a fraudulent prescription. The officer was advised the female was to return to pick up the prescription for oxycodone.
The store pharmacist had confirmed with the doctor whose name was on the prescription that it was fraudulent. Woodbury officers returned to the store about an hour later and arrested Figueroa as she attempted to pick up the prescription, which was written for a male. Figueroa had receipts for two other oxycodone prescriptions filled by other pharmacies, both confirmed to be fraudulent.
A Gloucester County grand jury indicted Figueroa on Jan. 9, 2013, on a third-degree charge of criminal attempt to obtain a controlled dangerous substance by fraud.
Anyone who knows Figueroa's whereabouts should not attempt to apprehend her. Instead, contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at 856-384-5643 or Sgt. Barry Johnson of the prosecutor's office at 856-498-5485.
Photos and information about other fugitives wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office can be viewed on the agency's website.

Concord School District's brand new McAuliffe Elementary School has had a rough few weeks with leaking skylights, damaged walls, and a sewer drainage pipe problem that required replacement which has some privately questioning whether or not all the accolades about the school's quality of construction and safety promoted by officials are valid.
The most recent problem came on Oct. 30, about 20 minutes after the end of the Concord School Board forum where nearly all the candidates commended the quality and precision of the construction of the new schools, which cost taxpayers about $91 million. A short rainsquall which hit Concord with about a quarter of inch of rain poured water underneath the doors of the school and down the halls, a regular occurrence at the school every time it rains more than a mist, according to sources.
Matt Cashman, the director of facilities and planning for the district, confirmed that there were problems at the school – as well as smaller issues at Abbot-Downing Elementary School and Mill Brook Primary School – but the district had guarantees on the construction of the buildings and was taking steps to repair the problems.
In the case of the skylights, every time it rained at the McAuliffe, the skylights were leaking. Administrators put as many as 20 buckets around the school to catch the water dripping. Water stains on ceiling tiles were visible during two inspections this week of the building.
Cashman said Harvey Construction was on site the previous week with the subcontractor, Academy Roofing, that installed the roof and skylights making repairs and sealing the seams where the water was leaking.
"They looked and with a roof map were able to pinpoint where the locations were," he said. "They applied additional adhesives and membrane down in the areas that they thought were suspect."
On Nov. 1, buckets still remained in different parts of the school.
Since opening in late August, according to Cashman, other roof leaks were reported at the Abbot-Downing and Mill Brook schools, "but minimal, not much whatsoever."
In two different cases, walls were damaged in both the gym and the wooden display case in the front entrance of the school.
In the case of the gym, a chunk of drywall reportedly fell from the area around a window causing the gym to be closed to students while repairs were made.
Cashman called the drywall chunk "small" – about two or three inches by three or four inches – and said he didn't know why it came down but didn't believe it was a water leak. He said there was a basketball seen lodged near the wall but couldn't confirm exactly how the wall was damaged.
The wooden display case has a large water stain along the side from a leak that buckled the wood from the wall. The leak was from a part of a sprinkler system that needed tightening, Cashman said. The local craftsman who installed the wood display case was creating another piece of wood to repair the stained piece, he said.
Every time it rains heavily, water runs under all the doors of McAuliffe due to the accessibility of the sidewalks to the doors. The worst flooding occurs in the front of the school where water runs down from Rumford Street at a 16-foot grade to the front door of the school. There were also water pressure issues due to an underground spring – hence the name Spring Street – in the area of the yard on the southeast side of the property.
Cashman said the subcontractor for the doors would be in next week to see if the seams could be lowered to stop the water. If that doesn't work to stop the water, Novis Engineering, the company that designed the front area of the school, will be asked to redesign it to change the flow of the water, he said.
Cashman said there were other minor problems at the other schools, including leaking roofs, window leaks, and other water problems mostly due to Hurricane Sandy and some technology glitches. All the district's schools had leaky roofs during the storm, he said.
"We had two roof leaks at Abbot-Downing and several window leaks at Mill Brook," he said.
The case of the leaking sewage pipe was a little more complicated to fix and required a cutting of the floor in the nurse's office and removal of a pipe. A blockage was found in the pipe using a line camera provided by the city of Concord. The camera line was able to find the blockage and loosen it. The cast iron pipe was then replaced with a PVC pipe to allow the raw sewage to flow more swiftly.
Cashman said since the toilets are all low flow, the sewage did not flow as properly as it should in the cast iron pipe. The replacement pipe should fix the problem, he said.
However, while some may be concerned about the problems at the brand new schools, Cashman said the district was protected by guarantees, ranging from one to 30 years, depending on the contractor and the work performed.
"I've been privy to any and all actions," he said. "Any time one of the schools has an issue, it funnels right up to me and then I contact Harvey."
The district also had a paper trail system of repairs in order to ensure that the work will be done properly and in a timely manner, Cashman said.

For the Times West Virginian
What now?
That's the question everyone is asking around this town this week, even if No. 3 LSU is coming to town for what is the biggest football game in these parts since Pitt derailed the West Virginia University Mountaineers' bid for a national championship in 2007.
It will be a whacked out, wild and, yes, drunken party time with an 8 p.m. start time for a national ABC audience and day-long celebration with college girl heartthrob Kirk Herbstreit, the man who invented the Heisman pose in Desmond Howard, and the eternal cutup Lee Corso.
But even with this, there will be a voice screaming in the background that WVU had better enjoy this now, for the future is filled with dark clouds of uncertainty.
With turncoat Pitt 80 miles up I-79 taking the low road into the Atlantic Coast Conference and bringing Syracuse along with it, two thieves in the night sneaking out the back door and taking with them the hopes and dreams of their longtime brothers and sisters of the Big East, WVU finds itself in a decaying conference from which there are only two roads to survival.
See, the college landscape is still far from settled, even with the ACC now at 14 teams and with Texas A&M heading into the SEC and with Colorado in the Pacific Coast Conference and TCU in the Big East, a move they surely regret at the present moment.
The word is that the nine-team Big East football conference, now down to seven with the defections of Pitt and Syracuse, could become a five-team conference in the future with Rutgers and Connecticut moving into the ACC, too.
That would give it a lock on the entire Eastern seaboard, from Boston to Miami, the most populace section of the country and a television market unlike anywhere else.
So what are those two roads to survival in the big time left to WVU?
The first — jumping to the SEC — is the most obvious, the most popular, but probably the least advantageous and least likely.
In today's world the Mountaineers bring nothing to the SEC that it really needs, which translates into television market and money. West Virginia is a small, lightly populated state with an image problem. Even with a 60,000-seat stadium that it fills regularly, it is dwarfed by the likes of Tennessee and Alabama and Auburn, who put from 80,000 to more than 100,000 in their stadiums.
West Virginia offers not even a city of consequence, the situation being so bad that someone in a bar conversation offered the suggestion, jokingly, I am sure, that the only way to create such a city would be to have all the people of West Virginia move to Charleston.
But would things be better in the SEC, especially if college football goes to four 16-school super conferences and creates a 16-team playoff with the top four from each conference invited?
Perhaps not, for the competition to reach that via the SEC would be overbearing, having to finish in the top four in a league deep enough to offer Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Tennessee as yearly opponents.
It would seem to someone not on the inside and not privy to the realignment conversations that the most sensible road would be for the Big 12, which seems to be on the brink of collapse should Oklahoma jump to the Pac-12, and the Big East to form some sort of alliance to make their own 16-team conference.
From the Big East you would have WVU, South Florida, Cincinnati, Louisville and TCU, joined by Texas Tech, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Baylor. That would be a 12-team conference without Texas, which has its choice of going to the SEC or the Pac-12 and will probably head west.
While it doesn't have the glamor of the SEC, or the money, the road to a football playoff would have far fewer landmines that exist in the SEC.
True, this has become about money, but WVU seems to be a far better fit with the likes of Missouri, Kansas, Cincinnati and Louisville than it is in the SEC.
It also could keep WVU as a significant football entity in an atmosphere where no one seems to want much of anything to do with the school.

Ethernet bridge wirelessly extends industrial Ethernet
Digi International introduced the Multipoint XPress Ethernet Bridge (XEB) for wirelessly connecting multiple Ethernet devices in one network when Wi-Fi range is insufficient, when an Ethernet cable is impractical or too costly to install, or when industrial grade, highly resilient wireless connectivity is needed.
Digi International introduced the Multipoint XPress Ethernet Bridge (XEB) for wirelessly connecting multiple Ethernet devices in one network when Wi-Fi range is insufficient, when an Ethernet cable is impractical or too costly to install, or when industrial grade, highly resilient wireless connectivity is needed.
The Multipoint XEB makes it easy to connect equipment like industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs), electronic LED signs, security cameras, Internet kiosks and other Ethernet-enabled devices wirelessly, securely and cost effectively.
"In many ways the Multipoint XEB functions like a Wi-Fi network, but uses the 900 MHz frequency to communicate over a greater distance and often more reliably than Wi-Fi, especially in industrial settings," says Larry Kraft, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Digi International. "It also provides another wireless connectivity option in our industry leading line of Drop-in Networking solutions."
By using the 900 MHz band, the Multipoint XEB does not interfere with Wi-Fi networks and can communicate reliably in industrial situations where Wi-Fi and other wireless connectivity solutions fail. The Multipoint XEB has an external DIP switch, allowing it to be switched effortlessly from access point to subscriber unit mode. Up to 16 subscriber Multipoint XEBs can be associated with a single XEB access point.
The Multipoint XEB is ideal for use when Wi-Fi range is insufficient or won't work due to interference, when an Ethernet cable is cost prohibitive or impractical to install, when broadband speed throughput is required or when an industrial long-range Ethernet bridge is needed.
Approved for use in the U.S. and Canada, the Multipoint XEB is available with prices starting at $479 per unit.

Overview of Program
The law and society major offers an interdisciplinary focus and includes fields such as political science, philosophy and sociology. It is a unique and distinc- tive program among American colleges. The major facilitates an understanding of the role and importance that laws and institutions play in our society. The major focuses on three broad areas of inquiry:
The liberal arts education, practical knowledge and the hands-on experience acquired at Hood enables our graduates to succeed in law school, graduate school and employment in a range of law related careers. While the major can be used as preparation for law school, it is not intended solely as a pre-law program. The law and society major offers excellent preparation for careers in such areas as corrections, advocacy, law enforcement, public policy, civil rights organizations and all levels of government service. At the same time, students pursuing this program are well prepared for the academic rigor of law and graduate school. Students study from case based text books used in law schools, do extensive legal research and writing, and in one class participate in a moot trial court.
Real-World Experience
Students at Hood who major in law and society get practical, real world experience that enriches their academic study. They may attend a criminal appeals proceeding at a Frederick County Circuit Court, listen to a con- stitutional oral argument at the United States Supreme Court or attend congressional hearings on Capitol Hill to get a critical eye on emerging legislation and public policy. Law and society majors have done original research at the community level—one student did an in-depth analysis of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families law by measuring its impact on county recipients and another examined how the No Child Left Behind law applied to the Frederick County school system. Still another law and society major created the first-ever statistical analysis of crime for the Frederick County Police Department. In addition to these experiences and initiatives, students may also get Hood credit for attend- ing the Washington Semester Program at American University, where they can enroll in seminars and internships such as International Law and Organizations, Justice and Public Law.
Hood students are encouraged to complete internships to help prepare them for career and graduate or law school opportunities. Hood's loca- tion—less than an hour from the nation's capital, the Maryland state capital, and in the county seat of Frederick County—provides many outstanding options for real-world experience.
Law and society students have interned at such locations as:
Graduates of Hood's law and society program have attended graduate and law schools at the following institutions:
Law and Society graduates hold a variety of prominent positions including:
Learn more about the major.
Hood College prepares students to excel in meeting the personal, professional and global challenges of the future. Hood is committed to the integration of the liberal arts, the professions and technology, to the exploration of values, a sense of community and to the preparation of students for lives of responsibility, leadership and service.

Changing China
Giant on the move
from Breakingviews:
China retail speculation adds risks to gold price
As gold prices surge to a new record, China's retail investors are trading more of the yellow metal, often using borrowed money. This is further evidence that recent high prices may not be sustained.
Like investors around the world, Chinese individuals are buying gold because they are worried about inflation. After all, Beijing has already pumped an unprecedented amount of money into the system, sending asset prices higher. But Chinese retail investors are also known for their herd behaviour. Despite the recent sharp rise in gold prices, many have decided to jump in.
This is lucrative business for Chinese banks. During the first six months, mid-sized Xingye Bank, which offers gold trading business with Shanghai Gold Exchange, traded 20.9 billion yuan ($3 billion) worth of gold for its clients, almost three times as much as they did last year.
Other than earning a commission for buying and selling for their clients, the bank is also making a gamble itself. It traded 15.3 billion yuan ($2 billion) worth of gold on its own account, up 15 percent from last year.
Risks can be big for Chinese investors. Like most retail investors, they are often at a disadvantage to international institutions because they lack up-to-date information. Moreover, big price changes in global markets often happen when China is asleep.
A greater source of concern, however, is that investors are placing leveraged bets. Leverage is not allowed in China's stock market, that's why people eager to maximize their returns have flocked to gold trading. At Xinye Bank, customers are allowed to borrow as much as 90 percent of the value of the gold contracts they are buying. Investors are also allowed to sell gold short, though most of them are choosing to place long bets. It is not uncommon for investors to use three to five times of leverage.
Those moving medal moments…
Remember the Black Power salutes from the podium in Mexico 1968?
The 2008 Beijing Olympics medal ceremonies might not produce anything to match that, but there has been no shortage of drama so far.
In the full emotional spectrum, we have had:
Anger – Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian stormed off the podium to dump his bronze on the mat in a protest against referees.
Who's top of the medals table?
Americans looking at the medals table to the right of this blog, or on the official Games website, might be surprised to see the host country topping the chart with 39 gold medals and 68 in total.
The New York Times website, meanwhile, has the United States on top with a chart-leading 73 medals in total, 23 of them gold.
Isinbayeva's golden moment
After the shock of Liu Xiang's departure from the Games through injury, fans in the Bird's Nest were given a golden moment to compensate at least slightly, as the peerless Yelena Isinbayeva broke her own world record in the pole vault.
The Russian made sure of the gold medal with just two jumps before returning to have a crack at raising her own best mark. After missing twice, she cleared 5.05 metres at the third attempt — with plenty to spare, it must be said.
Basketball gold would cap Spain's superb sporting year
Spanish sport is living a golden age, a magical year or a unique two months, depending on how long a view you're taking. But will it continue on into Beijing?
Rafael Nadal's victory over Nicolas Lapentti in Cincinnati means the 22-year-old is now certain to depose Roger Federer as world number one in tennis by August 18 at the latest.

I started to do all sorts of grown up things this week. My son was off work on Monday and Tuesday last week. He's normally off Monday and Friday or Monday and Wednesday. I kept most of my groaning and whining to myself, but sometimes it would escape. I feel ridiculous, but the emotions are real.
I try to set a good example for him, suggesting we wait until movies hit the theater that only charges a dollar or sometimes even wait until DVDs come out. After all, what's the hurry? Not getting to see "Eclipse" on the first day was bad enough, but waiting a whole 5 days has been hard. I actually thought about slipping off to see it while he was at work. Of course, there's no way I could have kept quiet about it afterwards.
We stayed up really late last night. I couldn't sleep. I woke up a couple of hours later, waiting for my son to get up. He usually is up for work by 12:30 and it's already 1:48 and he's still sleeping. How can he want to sleep a whole 6 or 7 hours when "Eclipse" is showing every 30 minutes? I'm having a hard time not doing something noisy to wake him.
Water my new seeds, check my plants, gather trash for the pick up tomorrow, report my mystery shop, how much busy work can a person do before the important things like going to see this movie?
I'm not sure why this movie series grabs me like it does. I think it's the werewolves looking like real wolves. Maybe it the action in the movie. Maybe it's thinking that Bella is making the wrong choice and just hoping it will turn out okay. Of course, I am a Dakota Fanning fan, so that might be a smidgeon of it. I can't remember when I've been so anxious to see a film. Maybe it's all the hype that is all around, TV, Internet, newspapers. Whatever. Today is the day. If only my son will finally wake up. Of course, he's going to want to eat first. Think I'll go make something so he can eat in the car on the way FINALLY to the movie theater.
Can we say ONE TRACK mind? I'm a Twilight addict.
Thank the stars. He's awake. He walked into the room and asked if I was ready to go to the movie. I didn't tell him just for the last 4 hours. Whoo hoo, we're off!

Best French Food in L.A. or the S.F. Valley
It's our friend's special birthday and she wants to go to a really good french restaurant. It can be either in the city or the valley. Less than $100.00 per person. She like really good French food, and sort of old fashioned, but not TAIX. \
Consider Mistral's in the valley, but really don't know anything about it.. Please help. Her birthday is Tuesday.
Mistral is barely French, can be gotten out for $100 a person if you try, yet the wine list encourages byo which I would encourage if that might be of interest. If nouvelle French, ala Bistro LQ, might be of interest, it is on Beverly just east of Crescent Hts.
while Melisse is French, it is fussy French, and $100 a person in fairly formal surroundings would be the drill, on Wilshire around 11th in SMonica.
If you just want a brasserie, Comme Ca on Melrose just east of La Cienega would definitely fit the budget and feel.
re: carter
re: paprkutr
Yes, it replaced Pastis in July:
For traditional French, Anisette, Saint Amour, or Comme Ca all do a good to very good job with classic bistro/brasserie fare. Chez Mimi in Santa Monica is also very nice and may be more charming than the others.
Bistro LQ is excellent but serves much more modern, rather than old-fashioned, cooking and several of the dishes involve offal if that is a concern (the offal is wonderful).
The new La Cachette Brasserie on Ocean in Santa Monica offers nouvelle cuisine takes on brasserie standards, some of which work better than others.
For high end French, the best are Melisse and Ortolan (I prefer Ortolan), though getting out for less than $100 might be hard at either, particularly once you include alcohol, tax and tip.

Church & State, if you like a bustling bistro. My favorite restaurant in town, currently.
re: Jack Flash
re: foodiemahoodie
Church & State is also my current fave. And I also like Chez Mimi...charming and good, but not great, food. I also really like Melisse. It's high priced, but I certainly wouldn't call it fussy, In fact, I've always though they did very nice French food without the attitude of some high end French places.
re: Jack Flash
I second Church & State. The menu offers a good selection for all appetites and the pricing is very reasonable. There is also a good wine selection and bar.
Check out my Church & State review here: http://www.twohungrypandas.com/2009/0...
If you are looking for "old style" French food in the Valley look no further than Le Sanglier in Tarzana. It's been there forever (40 years maybe?). Flying low and off the radar for the most part.
re: Servorg
re: Chow Bella
Food costs tend to run right around $50 pp without tax or tip for an appetizer and and a main course. They even have a prix fixe deal for some of the entrees in which you add another $6 to the entree's basic cost and you get 3 courses (IIRC). Wine or cocktail costs are, or course, an unknown quantity here. But that can be said about any restaurant one goes to these days because it depends on each individual diners preferences. Whether one thinks the food is good or not is subjective, but our meals there have been quite good in a very traditional, old school type of way. YMMV
re: Servorg
re: TomSwift
re: Servorg
re: TomSwift
re: kevin
Le Sanglier? Pretty average. Nowhere near the league of Church & State. And Melisse is light years beyond. Melisse is world class cuisine, Sanglier is okay-at-best local "French" restaurant.
I wouldn't take a trip out there. But I'd willingly driving downtown to Church & State. Or Melisse.
re: foodiemahoodie
re: Harry Nile
More details? Hm...it's been about three or four years since I last had a meal there. So I have no details I can remember, just that it was, at best -kinda so-so. I remember telling myself "Nope, not again." I'm used to a much better class of food. I can cook better than this, so if there's a restaurant where I can cook better? I don't go.
re: Servorg
I agree Servorg. Le Sanglier was a place my family has gone to for years. Good food and service. I am sorry to see that their wild boar pate' is no longer on the menu. It harkins back when there were a number of French restaurants on Ventura Blvd. Who remembers Chef Gregorie's or Jean's Blue Room or the much miss by me Mon Grenier?
re: SeaCook
re: SeaCook
re: SeaCook
I do remember Gregoire's. It was probably my initial introduction to fairly serious food. I remember they'd give you a small, but great slice of quiche to start. And you get that at Josie's - one bite and you're shot back in time to his restaurant In Sherman Oaks. Also, she sometimes does that duck in pepper sauce. (that must be the roast duck Servorg mentions).
Old fashioned French ?
I have never been so maybe someone else can chime in but the first two that came to mind.
Didn't see too many SF recommendations yet. Here are a few:
Rive Gauche
Cafe Bizou
Pinot Bistro
re: LMelba
None of those three warrant the time or expenditures involved.
Ate recently at Pinot Bistro, and it was truly underwhelming in every respect, and most importantly when it came time to pay the bill - $175 for two, to eat that food - never again.
Where is the old La Serre when you want it.
May Jerry rest in peace!
Like the room at Rive Gauche, wish the food was better.
re: carter
I agree with everything you say. It's such a shame that Pinot Bistro has gone so far downhill. 10-15 years ago, it was phenomenal rustic French and would have been my top recommendation on this thread.
Rive Gauche and Cafe Bizou are not French at all. I don't mind Bizou that much for what it is, but it is a decent California cuisine restaurant, great for brunches and family celebrations with mom.

Objective To study changes in brain volume measured monthly in patients treated for relapsing multiple sclerosis due to loss of tissue and the appearance of inflammation.
Design and Patients The results from T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery axial images from 13 consecutive monthly 3-T brain magnetic resonance imaging tests conducted on 74 patients diagnosed with relapsing multiple sclerosis in the BECOME study were used to calculate whole brain volumes using automated software analysis tools. The patients had been randomized to receive treatment with interferon beta-1b or glatiramer acetate. Ongoing inflammation was studied by counting the number of combined active lesions and measuring the volume of gadolinium enhancement. A mixed-effects model was used to analyze brain volumes over time.
Results There was a significant decrease in brain volume over time but there was no difference in its rate of change by age, sex, frequency of ongoing inflammation, multiple sclerosis type, or randomized treatment assignment. The mean rate of brain volume change per month from multivariable models was −1.1 cm3 (95% CI, −1.5 to −0.6) and during times of magnetic resonance imaging activity, it increased transiently by an average of 1.2 cm3/lesion (95% CI, 0.7 to 1.7) and 7.1 cm3/1 cm3 of gadolinium volume. In a model with both measures, combined active lesions were independent predictors of brain volume but gadolinium volume was not.
Conclusion Two major changes in brain volume occur in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, a steady decrease likely due to tissue loss with overlapping transient increases due to the appearance of inflammation.
Figure. Actual and fitted brain volumes at baseline and months 1 to 12 in 4 randomly selected patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis or clinically isolated demyelinating syndrome at risk of multiple sclerosis assigned to treatment with interferon beta-1b or glatiramer acetate. The cohort was stratified by quartiles of estimated change in brain volume, and a single participant was selected at random from each quartile. A-D, Participants from first through fourth quartiles, from fastest to slowest decline. The number of combined active lesions (CALs) and gadolinium volume are shown on the horizontal axis. A multivariable model was fit to the data, which included a random intercept and slope and fixed effects for CALs, visit month, age at baseline, and sex. The model showed CALs were positively associated with brain volume, with each lesion corresponding to a 1.2-cm3 (95% CI, 0.7 to 1.7) higher brain volume. Actual brain volume was calculated from the axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences. The expected brain volume trajectory was based on the multivariable model setting CALs to zero. The expected brain volume was based on the model with actual observed number of CALs.

RIVERSIDE - After more than 300 hours of work and approximately $6700 dollars, Boy Scout Chris Morgan has completed his Eagle project honoring armed forces members.
The project consists of seven flag poles arranged around Riverside's war memorial, located by the borough office building. Each pole will fly a different flag, one for the American flag, one for a POW/MIA flag and flags for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
Chris officially turned the flags over to the borough at a short ceremony held May 13 at 6 p.m. About 25 people were in attendance, including members of Chris' troop, Boy Scout Troop 33, his family, council members and firefighters from Southside Fire Company.
The flags were raised by the first time by Chris, Riverside's mayor Dale Erb, members of Southside Fire Company and Chris' fellow scouts from Troop 33.
"It's a great relief," said Chris, of the project's completion. "It gave me more self-confidence in what I could do. Never in a million years did I think it would turn out like this."
The area by the war memorial has traditionally served as a site for Memorial Day services for the community and scout troop. Previously, scout troop members would have to bring and set up a flag pole in a cement-filled tire to have a flag close enough for ceremonies, said Erb. Chris' project will thankfully eliminate that extra work.
"I think it's just outstanding," said Erb. "Everyone on council is just thrilled."
"We're very proud of Chris and his accomplishments," said council member John LaMotte, who, along with his 8-year old son, Jacob, helped dig holes for the flag poles.
Chris and his volunteers, including friends, family, troop members and local residents, spent about six weekends digging out bases for the flag poles and installing them. The project was finally completed on May 6.

A Thursday afternoon fire that took several hours for firefighters to control destroyed a North Street home. Though there was heavy damage to the property, no one was home when the flames began and the family's two cats escaped harm.
Deputy Chief Rick McClellan said it is unclear at this time what caused the fire, which started just after 11 a.m. One firefighter was transported from the scene early on, but Fire Chief Ed Bradbury received confirmation about one hour later that he suffered only an ankle sprain.
A neighbor called in the fire, and firefighters were quickly on scene. But by the time they arrived, flames had completely engulfed the structure. McClellan said crews had a hard time getting into the house initially, and were unsure if anyone was inside.
"Our main concern from the very beginning was that we had a very difficult time gaining access because of the volume of the fire," said McClellan. "The homeowner returned home while we were fighting the fire, which allowed us to put our efforts towards putting the fire out instead of search and rescue."
Once firefighters knocked down the flames, there was still a large volume of smoke pouring from every angle of the property. Firefighters simultaneously were spraying the left side of the home along with the rear and right side.
The roof of a carport fell onto the roof of a van on the right side of the home, and the vehicle appeared to be destroyed as well.
By about 2 p.m., firefighters had the situation largely under control, though some smoke continued to rise out of the roof. Firefighters packed up most of their hoses, while one set of firefighters continued to douse hot spots inside the house.
McClellan said when the homeowner arrived at his house about 20 minutes after the fire started, he saw his two cats out on the front lawn, so he knew his pets escaped safely.
The house, however, was destroyed.
"He was pretty devastated," said McClellan. "The house is pretty much totaled. They will not be able to inhabit the building."
Check back later Thursday for video from the scene.

An Excellent Location
A very good choice for three adults who stayed Nov 25 -26 2004. The room was very clean and apparently been recently renovated - new wall paper-. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking and eating utensils. The lobby looked as if it had been renovated also. The people at the front desk were very helpful.
The two restaurants were closed on the 25th because of the Thanksgiving holiday ( as were many others in the immediate area ).
We strongly disagree with some of the negative reviews.

Miyagi is annoying and the AR thing only impresses for a few hours, though Reality Fighters' surprisingly in-depth combat system and impressive array of fight styles and characters may win you over.
We like
- Funny character roster
- Excellent animation
- Fighting against some bizarre backdrops
We dislike
- Mr Miyagi's presence is supposed to be funny, but it's just annoying
- The novelty of moving the Vita display around to follow fighters soon wears off
- Button mashing can still win the day despite a fairly decent combat scheme
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
Augmented reality is definitely a cool technology but so far it's been under-utilised in the world of console and handheld gaming. When we first set down our AR card in front of the PlayStation 3 and witnessed the EyePet bouncing around on screen like it was in our living room we were highly entertained, but after a few hours we were yearning to play a game that brought us back to normality.
The fact that we're males over the age of 20 - and don't really care too much for games that involve caring for virtual pets - probably has something to do with that, but if truth be told, Augmented Reality also freaks us out a bit.
But with the arrival of PlayStation Vita on the horizon, we better get used to it. As more developers get used to the handheld's variety of AR technologies we can expect a wide variety of games that blur the lines between what's real and what's computer-generated. AR gaming is on the rise and Reality Fighters is one of the first games on PS Vita to really utilise the technology with a core gaming experience.
Reality Fighters is, predictably, a fairly average one vs. one fighting game with the major twist being that players can do battle against an array of real backdrops, from a Russian forest to the English countryside. As fighters physically move around their virtual space, players can tilt the PS Vita display to follow them around. This combination of animated characters and photo backgrounds is quite a feast for the senses.
What's even wackier is that you can create these backgrounds yourself using PS Vita's camera. If you're on holiday, for example, you might photograph an idyllic beach scene, save it, and then use that background at a later date as a fighting arena. Then, of course, there's the option to choose Augmented Reality battles wherever you are.
The AR card that comes with the game can be placed on any surface. You then point the rear camera at the card and as if by magic the two fighters appear and battle across the chosen area like they're actually part of that physical space. The only limit is your own imagination because the fight can, quite literally, take place wherever you want it to.
While using the AR card players get a full 3D 360 degree view of the action and can move the screen around and walk around with PS Vita to get a multitude of different camera angles. It's a very cool effect that will have your non-Vita owning pals shaking their heads with disbelief, though in no way does it actually enhance the gameplay.
Things get even weirder with the opportunity to put a clone of yourself into the game. Take a photo with the front-facing snapper and your mug now appears as the head of an in-game character. OS Vita's camera doesn't take a great picture, so don't expect to be wowed by the facial capture technology, but we could definitely tell it was us, even if others couldn't. Players can then customise their new fighter with a wide range of options, from the size of their body to the haircut, clothing and fighting style.
Alongside your own fighter, there are a range of wacky playable characters each with unique special moves, colourful costumes and fight styles. From Ton Ton the zombie, who uses a 'gravedigger' move to pick his opponent up and toss him into a shallow grave,' to Nicole the ballerina and her graceful nutcracker speciality (which is a painful as it sounds, and culminates in a bow, a round of applause and the closing of a pair of theatre curtains) there's a great variety of characters and some unique special moves and fight styles..
Though Reality Fighters does hide somewhat behind its humour and silly characters, the combat is actually more in-depth than we thought it would be. A range of combos, grabs, counters, kicks and punches, with some traditional quarter circle-style moves with the analogue stick, ensures that the options are there for some strategic and visually stimulating bouts.
Even so, we fairly easily ploughed through half of the ... (continued on next page) ----

Knights succumb to Forsyth Country Day rally
Sat. December 29, 2012 at 12:32 a.m. | By Mike Duprez

WINSTON-SALEM | North Davidson had it going Friday night for three quarters against Forsyth Country Day and the tournament championship of the Frank Spencer Classic's Pepsi Cola bracket was within reach.
But then came the fourth quarter.
Led by point guard and tournament Most Valuable Player Colton Bishop, the Furies erupted for 31 points in the final period and came from behind for a 68-57 victory at Joel Coliseum.
North (6-5) had led by as much as 11 points in the third quarter.
"The Bishop kid, we couldn't keep him in front," said North coach Sammy Staten. "They started making their shots. They missed a lot of shots in the first half. I don't know what the percentage was. In the second half, they shot 3s. They made 'em."
Bishop, a 6-1 junior, scored 23 points. He got 15 of those in the fourth quarter, including a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.
"He came out to play tonight, which was great," said Forsyth coach Jack McHale.
North was still leading 53-52 with a little over three minutes left when Spencer Arrowood secured a rebound off a missed Forsyth shot. But Cory Hanes ripped the ball out of Arrowood's hands and laid it in to put the Furies on top.
It went on from there.
William Herzberg converted a layup off a North turnover. Moments later, Hanes took a pass from Bishop on the baseline and roared in for a two-hand slam dunk to make it 58-53.
The Knights fell even further behind, meaning they had to foul. And that meant Bishop, who didn't miss.
"We didn't have anybody who could keep him from getting the ball," Staten said. "But then it got to the point where we had to foul. We just let it slip away."
Andy Bell had 15 points for the Furies (4-8) while Herzberg had 12 and Hanes 11.
Brandon Easter, who made the all-tournament team, led the Knights with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Chase Mitchell had 11 points and Shy Tuttle 10.
After a close first half that saw North lead 26-24 at intermission, the Knights came out blazing in the third quarter. They buried five 3-pointers, three by Mitchell and surged into the lead. Three consecutive 3s, two by Mitchell and one by Easter, gave the Knights a 39-28 lead with 4:31 left in the quarter.
But the Furies fought their way back and closed to within 44-37 at the end of the period when Hertzberg came up with a steal and drove coast-to-coast for a layup.
And then in the opening seconds of the third quarter, Bishop pounced on an errant pass, took it the other way and was fouled. He made both free throws. Then he swished a 3-pointer and it was suddenly a 44-42 game.
"We're a 3-point shooting team but we haven't been shooting them as well," McHale said. "We had to go back to what we do best, which is shooting 3s, because we have no height."
The Furies took their first lead since early in the first quarter on a 3-pointer by Timmy Cooper, making it 50-49 with 5:09 left.
North went back ahead on an Arrowood layup only to see Herzberg answer that with a layup created by a turnover.
The Knights took their final lead at 53-52 with 3:36 left when the 6-3, 290-pound Tuttle drove through the middle of the lane for a layup.
North will visit Page on Wednesday.

Zagreb coming and going
In addition to the priceless narrative by the incomparable Archie (can you tell I'm a fan?), and the sometimes wild plot twists (which I won't mention, so as to not spoil your fun if you read the book), what struck me about this book is that the author painted such a clear picture of Europe in trouble, and put in his two cents' worth about useful idiots running around doing stupid things and thinking they were making history. It lies underneath the plot, but it's there all the same, functioning, I think, as both a call for sanity in insane times and a warning or reminder that ruthless people bent on their own goals exist and must be dealt with.
Over My Dead Body
Rex Stout, for that matter, was a crusader against Nazis both in fiction and in real life, and he got in a few salvos in this book, again without burying the story in messages.
But here's the funny part. This book features a couple of characters who have come to America from Zagreb, Yugoslavia. Part of the story hinges on Nero Wolfe having been there in his younger days.
So, last night, after work was done and just before going to bed I finally finished watching Fiddler on the Roof on DVD (I've been watching it in stages). And when the credits rolled, what did I see but that it was filmed to a significant degree at Zagreb, Yugoslavia...
I don't know about you, but this is not a city that comes to my mind very often, if ever. And there it was, starting my day and ending it, too. These days, I might mention, it has become Zagreb, Croatia.
Fiddler on the Roof, I might add, is one of those movies that makes clear how much I've changed over the years. I'm sure when I watched it when I was young that I picked up on different things, cheered where I don't cheer now, liked different characters and for different reasons. And, doggone it, how did the daughters get younger with the passage of time? I look at them now and think how incredibly young they look. I'm sure that when I was more or less their age, they looked all grown up. (Sigh.)

Aren't the Nero Wolfe book just great? The "wear" really well, too. And I LOVE, LOVE Archie.
LOL about the de-aging Fiddler girls. I notice that all of the time now, when I watch the oldies-but-goodies (even -baddies; well, even -not-so-goodies).

That sort of "coincidence" is one of things that convinced me that there really is an overall unity, which we're too puny to see, much less understand.

Bookworm, This isn't the best Nero Wolfe book out there, but it is a good read. One thing about the series, the more you read the more you pick up on the fantastic interplay between the different recurring characters (this is not to mention that once you feel like an insider on any book series, it's always more fun ;-). And, as reader iam points out, these are books that wear very well. They are set in their time, but aren't wedged there, I guess you could say.
reader iam, I'll second you on Archie ;-). And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one seeing de-aging processes going on in classic movies. I know my elders used to tell me it would happen, but it still came as something of a shock when it began actually happening...
