Handy Lindsey, Jr., President of the Ruth Mott Foundation in Flint, Michigan will deliver a keynote address you won't want to miss. When the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, came to light, the Ruth Mott Foundation was one of many local organizations that responded to the man-made disaster. In his keynote address, Ruth Mott Foundation President Handy Lindsey Jr. will discuss how the foundation advocated for Flint's most vulnerable residents, and will outline the challenges and opportunities in acting to alleviate an environmental crisis in a community already experiencing a disinvestment crisis.
Handy Lindsey, Jr.,
President of the Ruth Mott Foundation in
Flint, Michigan
Growing up poor as the oldest child of two Mississippi sharecroppers, Handy Lindsey Jr. knew focusing on his education would be his pathway out of poverty. After moving to an impoverished neighborhood in north St. Louis, Handy earned a scholarship and graduated from St. Louis University High School in 1971 – a triumph that altered the course of his life. Since then, he has dedicated his life to working in philanthropy, a profession that gives him the opportunity to help improve the quality of life for other families in need. Currently, Handy is President of the Ruth Mott Foundation in Flint, Michigan, which is still recovering from a water crisis that exposed thousands of vulnerable residents to unsafe levels of lead in their drinking water. In addition to the Ruth Mott Foundation's work around the water crisis, Handy led the implementation of the Foundation's new strategy that focuses grantmaking in the areas of youth, public safety, economic opportunity, and neighborhoods.
Handy has 30+ years of leadership experience in professional philanthropy. He joined the staff of The Ruth Mott Foundation of Flint Michigan in September 2014 as its President. In the interim between that post and his retirement as President of the Cameron Foundation of Petersburg, Virginia in 2012, he managed an independent consulting practice that focused on executive effectiveness and advising foundations in organizational development, program planning and strategy and capacity building for nonprofit excellence. He led the Field Foundation of Illinois in Chicago from 1988 until 2003. Between 1980 and 1988 he served the Chicago Community Trust in several positions including Assistant Director, Staff Associate, Senior Staff Associate and Executive Director of the Chicago Area Foundation for Legal Services, a supporting organization. He has also worked as a consultant to the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and in Corporate Contributions with the local telephone company. Handy was instrumental in the development of the East St. Louis Community Foundation, where he served as interim Executive Director in 1985-86. Handy has extensive nonprofit governance experience having served on the board of directors of more than two dozen civic organizations, policy institutes, and professional associations of philanthropy, most in leadership roles such as member of the executive or management committee or chairman. Immediate past experience includes four years as a member of the executive committee of the Southeastern Council of Foundations and two years as chairman of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations. Handy studied at the University of Chicago where he earned an M.B.A. from the Booth School of Business, an M.A. from the School of Social Services Administration (SSA), and an undergraduate degree in Sociology. Between 1997 and 2000 he completed all required course work, but withdrew prior to completing the dissertation toward a PhD at SSA.

IT As A Service: Not Just For A Cloud
I was going to write about how building a cloud is similar to moving, but the more I think about it, the more I think people are confusing an automated virtual environment with a cloud: IT as a Service is not just about cloud. Having automation does not imply your virtual environment is a cloud or visa versa. Granted, using IT as a Service is important for a cloud if you look at the NIST definition of a cloud, but it is not necessary for a cloud. Perhaps IT as a Service is just a stepping stone towards a cloud, perhaps it should start as a data center play? As company's and vendors cloud wash all aspects of IT, as IT decision makers we need to step back and look at our data center and decide how we want to get to the cloud (if we want to get there at all).The more I think and talk about Cloud or IT as a Service, the more I think there is something missing. It seems that many have gone to calling their virtual environments clouds and some have added an IT as a Service portal and then called the environment a cloud. I think there is a step in the middle we are missing, one that would allow us to bridge the gap from a traditional datacenter to a cloud based environment. That bridge could be IT as a Service, but it is not the only factor.

Today Is the Past You Will Be Asking For
I had this weird experience a few weeks ago. I was driving, then all of a sudden a vision of me being in a minor car accident flashed in my mind. Right there at the sight of that accident, immediately, I started doing what most of us always do when things go wrong. I started wishing I could go back in time, to change the circumstances leading up to this accident.
I must say, that experience was a bit peculiar, because the past I was wishing for, in my vision, appeared exactly like the current moment of my physical reality. It felt like the accident had already happened and now I was in the past creating a different outcome. And so, I treated it as such, I cut my speed and drove cautiously.
Surprisingly, this was more than just about a car or accident; it seemed to be a lesson about life in general.
A lot of us live our lives carelessly, and when the trouble comes, when the consequences are at our throats, we wish for a past, to do otherwise.
Today is the past many of you will be wishing for someday to come. Today is… you going back in time to prevent your potential mistakes.
There are so many people out there today, with horrendous diseases, wishing that they were in the position that many of you are in currently. This is the privilege that many of you have and are wasting it, only to prepare a regrettable future.
Your now is your second chance, treat it as such. Don't wait for the problems to come, and then you say, "I wish I had eaten better."Take care of your body today, eat right and live right.

The Pop Scene: Idols—Official and Unofficial
Kelly Clarkson
Radio City Music Hall 1260 Sixth Ave., (212) 247-4777 Saturday
Say what you will about "American Idol" and its waning cultural and Billboard chart influence, but with the exception of Carrie Underwood (Season 4), its first champion remains its most intriguing and dependable pop star. Which is not to say that she's predictable. Starting firmly in the pop world, with her soaring hit "Since U Been Gone," Ms. Clarkson showed she could rock as well. In 2010, she dipped a toe into country music,...

Asteroids 3D
Available as GM6.
I've made this game within a mini competition with Mr. Hyun. The goal was to make an Asteroids game in 3 hours time. During this time I made this somewhat buggy 3D fully functional Asteroids game while he did not. He did manage to produce some awesome artwork for the main ship of his game but never really got to making a game around it.
Remember that this game is made in 3 hours time and one should not expect a full blown game from this.

Talula the Shih Tzu
When I was a little boy, I had a book with a picture of a black and white puppy on the cover. My heart's desire has been to have one of my own. Now I do! Her name is Talula – an Irish name with a shout-out to my heritage.
The Greatest Showman
This musical is my favorite movie of the year. The opening scene, where the man turns into the little boy looking in the store window, was a beautiful transition. Then the boy begins to sing to the little girl – and a sob swelled up in my throat. Beautiful! Hopeful!
Mat Kearney
Mat is my favorite singer/songwriter of all time. The song, "Better Than I Used to Be," released this year, has the lyrics, "Things don't go just the way you planned it, so much to take for granted." A beautiful reflection on having gratitude for your current life; and the music is just sooooo good! Best EP of the year.
Mickey Mouse
I love Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. I went to an auction this year and walked away with several vintage Mickey Mouse memorablia pieces. One in particular, specifically of Mickey Mouse, was made by a rubber company during the 1930's. It is a sweet treasure reminding me of how the creativity of one man still has relevance nearly a century later.
Carole King has always been a favorite and I am very familiar with her album Tapestry. This year, I found a copy of the album at the bottom of a giant stack of records. It plays perfectly and makes me believe the 70's are alive in my living room.
Dear Evan Hanson
I watched a poorly filmed, bootleg version on YouTube of this Broadway show. In spite of the quality, I discovered a wonderful story of lies becoming truth and the truth bringing about freedom for the main character, played by Ben Platt. His voice is heavenly and the songwriters, Benji Pasek and Justin Paul, have created some amazing songs. The book is by Steven Levenson; his story-telling takes you from the depths of despair to restoration. Favorite words are, "Just two friends on a perfect day."
The Great Comet
The show didn't survive bad press, but watching a rough version online made me want to run off and join the theatre when hearing Josh Groban sing, "Dust and Ashes."
Awakening the Evangelical Mind
It is nice reading someone recounting the power of evangelism in America. Sometimes the history helps you see where you're standing today.
There is a Cloud
Elevation Worship helps me walk into my Father's presence. Songs sung in earth and touching heaven.
The Author's Voice
I wrote a play filled with famous American Author's visiting a struggling, young author, named Brenda, living in New York in 1978. The experience was incredible for me as playwright, director, costumer, and set designer.
Tristan and His Rubix Cube (my son)
He mastered the cube and can solve it in less than 1:50 every time. He understands algorithms. Cute and smart!
Aidan Growing Taller than Me (my son)
My fourteen year old out grew me in stature. His heart is even bigger. Always gentle! A great man!
Brennyn and Her Eye (my daughter)
She has an eye for seeing life. In paintings, drawings and song. Visionary.
My eternal friend. I never have to journey alone. And together we had three!!!

The Premier League returns after the international break with a host of captivating fixtures on display, including third placed Manchester City travelling to sixth placed Arsenal.
Arsenal will be hoping to bounce-back from a horrible run of form, having lost four out of their last five games. Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the Gunners will be without first choice goalkeeper Petr Cech and striker Lucas Perez through injury. However, the Arsenal boss confirmed that Mesut Ozil may be in contention to return to the starting line-up having played 20 minutes for Germany in their last international friendly.
48% – Sanchez has been involved in 27 goals (18 goals, 9 assists) in 27 PL games this season, that's to say 48% of Arsenal's goals. Leaving? pic.twitter.com/Mt4tjV9UnF
— OptaJean (@OptaJean) March 30, 2017
Meanwhile, Manchester City are in fairly good form ahead of the game at The Emirates, as Pep Guardiola's side have not tasted defeat in the league since January, however they have drawn their last two matches. Kevin De Bruyne is a doubt for the trip to Arsenal with a groin strain and the Citizens will also be without Gabriel Jesus who sustained a broken metatarsal injury in February.
Most assists from wide areas in the Premier League this season:
K. De Bruyne (6)
C. Eriksen (5)
G. Sigurdsson (5)
Perfect delivery. 🎯 pic.twitter.com/NGpqX5bxvJ
— Squawka Football (@Squawka) March 24, 2017
In the reverse fixture, Manchester City took all three points at the Etihad Stadium with a 2-1 victory as City fell behind to an early Theo Walcott goal, but recovered to win the game with two second half goals. But it was the Gunners who were victorious in last season'ss fixture at the Emirates with a 2-1 win as Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud fired the North London side in to a two goal lead, before Yaya Toure earned City a consolation goal late on.
23 – Man City have lost more Premier League games against Arsenal than they have against any other side. Bogey. (opta)

We must be accountable
Message from the VP, Academic
Many people are worried about the growing level of criticism of universities that seems to have accelerated since the onset of the recession. Governments reference the importance of an educated population largely in terms of economic growth and looming gaps in the supply of labour.
Commentators in various media, as well students and recent graduates, point to the failure of the post-secondary system to educate students for jobs. Some business leaders echo this sentiment, reporting that students don't have the skills required for 21st century work. Within the academy, studies have questioned the value of traditional educational methods and called for reforms that reflect the reality of contemporary students' lives.
Internet access to massive amounts of information and "free" educational programs has sparked suggestions that autonomous institutions could be replaced by corporately driven webbased credentialing services that would create alternatives to traditional multi-year integrated programs of study, immersion and engagement.
We have seen parallel criticism of the role of research in universities, with return on investment, industry spin-offs, and bibliometric indicators such as the h-index touted as the only valid measures of success.
A common thread of many of these critiques is that universities are old-fashioned, inaccessible, expensive institutions that don't meet the needs of their students and undertake research that is not useful to those that fund it.
I believe research universities must define their mission clearly and articulate the long-term value of a well-educated population for the broad well being of communities. Instructors who are also researchers can demonstrate to students through their own experience the difficulty of understanding complex phenomena in all fields. Exposure to evidence-based research is a necessary counter to a world where leaders across the political spectrum rely increasingly on political and religious ideology to set policy and make decisions.
"Accountability" is an ugly word to many who work in an educational setting. But if we don't define what we wish to achieve, and if we don't assess how well we are doing and act on that information, then our mission and the assessment of our performance will be imposed on us. SFU's recently released mission and vision set a clear direction for us. Now we have to show that we're on the right track.
In this publication we are highlighting some of the steps we are taking to be more accountable and some of the initiatives that demonstrate that we are capable of analyzing our performance and acting on that information.
Jon Driver VP, Academic , and Provost

11. ročník konference Asian Studies
21. říjen 2017, 09:00 – 17:00
It is undoubtable that Marxism and the Russian Revolution of 1917 changed the nature and course of the entire Russian empire. However, the revolutionary wave also spread to different places as the news of it reverberated around the globe, including East and Southeast Asia. However, Asian governments, social groups, organizations, artists, activists, intellectuals, and last but not least workers interpreted both the Marxian revolutionary ideas as well as the Russian Revolution in divergent ways.

Words & Photography by Helena McMurdo
Map & Illustration by Ženija Esmits
Although it seems that lately, our neighbourhood is just one big brown lawn, there was a time when the flowers were just starting to pop. One of the things that has attracted the contributors of South Granville Inhabiter to this neighbourhood, and indeed other inhabiters as well, is that we seem to have the right mixture of urban concrete and lush gardens to keep us happy. Our love of all things flora is not unknown. Followers of our instagram feed will have picked up on our penchant for posies to perennials.
So imagine our delight when we met a new friend through instagram - after all isn't that how you meet people these days?
Laura Macdonald, works as in the field of landscape architecture as a Landscape Designer, BCSLA Intern and she is indeed a modern day goddess of plants and flowers and also the brains behind @vancouverflora, an instagram account dedicated to the recording of plant life in Vancouver. For those of us who love the beauty of flowers but can never remember a name, Laura's account is a fountain of information impressing us with rare specimens and increasing our knowledge of Latin. (I say we bring it back).
A few weeks ago, in the simpler times before drought conditions and Stage 3 water restrictions took hold, we decided to enjoy an evening walk through our abundantly blooming neighbourhood to learn more about the plants that surround us. Aside from enjoying a beautiful evening together, Laura proved invaluable at helping us identify many of the plants in the area and answering our questions on South Granville's Flora.
SGI: What are the main things you notice about the flora of the SG area?
LM: SG flora is abundant with an eclectic palette of ornamental trees, colourful perennials, staple evergreen shrubs and a few frilly annuals for fun! Most of the gardens we enjoyed were in front (or behind) the lovely apartment buildings in the area. They appeared to be tended by either a building superintendent or a passionate resident - but in any case the care and interest in plants was evident. It is always impressive to see what can be done within a small amount of space.
I especially liked passing those gardeners that had obviously maintained their garden for years. They trimmed each leaf and branch with such attention and gratitude, it was really inspiring.
My favourite time of year to bike through SG is the Spring. There is an impressive display of ornamental cherry trees and stunning Magnolias.
SGI: Are there any particularly rare/special plants to look out for?
LM: Not really 'rare' per-say... There are a few fun palm trees and Monkey Puzzle trees (Araucaria araucana) but those are starting to seem rather common for Vancouver. I think the garden at the corner of Hemlock and 10th ave has the most unique variety of plants that we saw. There was a medley of just about everything! Kudos to those apartment dwellers for taking advantage of their outdoor space!
SGI: What are some of the native or historical plants we saw?
LM: We saw a lot of what you may call 'legacy trees'. There are several large older Cedrus (cedar) trees in the SG neighbourhood. They have some of my favourite cones! Also, SG boasts some very impressive older Rhododendrons.
SGI: What do you recommend people plant?
LM: Anything that makes you happy, of course! Gardening and planting is a process - one year you plant a favourite plant and the next year you find a new one and so on! Currently I am really excited about Cotton Lavender (Santolia chamaecyparissus) Also Trumpet Vine (Campsus radicans) is looking really nice!
So there you have it. If you want to do a floral tour of your own, there are new things popping up all them time. Check out Ženija's illustrated map below which shows our route. The accompanying gallery identifies the points of interest.
Now it's your turn Inhabiters. What are your favourite flowers? Are there any areas of the neighbourhood that you particularly enjoy for their floral beauty? Leave us a note in the comments below.

Vanity sizing is actually incredibly degrading.
I probably should have used medical tape instead of Scotch tape, but still...
By the time I left college at 22 years old, I was still using the same ratty old carry-on she had bought me when I was 16, for my first summer college visits.

African Amercican History
Why there are More Black Females in College than Black Males
It is common knowledge that there is a drastic difference in the number of African American females in college versus the number of their male counterparts in college. However, a question that is seldom asked or thought about by the majority of the population is why? Why has there been little to none progression nor influence with this alarming disparity? To find the answer to this question, one might want to read and critically depict The Willie Lynch Letter of 1712. The ideology and implications discussed in The Willie Lynch Letter are the reason why there are more African American females in college than African American males. The next question that should be asked is, how can ideas implicated THREE centuries ago still be in effect today? The reason being is because these ideas targeted the psychology of the African American male and female so deep into its core that is has carried over into today's society but how?
Willie Lynch, a British slave owner in the West Indies, and came to United States to advise American slave owners how to keep their slaves from revolting against them. Lynching or Lynch Law is actually attributed to him. Lynching initially referred to the hanging of the black man. The William Lynch Speech or letter emanates from an unknown inception which attracted widespread attention when it was scattered in the internet by 1990s. It was verbally expressed to be addressed to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712 regarding the control of slaves in the colony. William Lynch was the speaker was evoked to Virginia in 1712, due to a few slave revolts in the area prior to his visit, and his dubious reputation of being an authoritative and strict slave owner. Believers in the substantiality of the William Lynch Speech called it mental slavery. Before speaking upon the African American female, one must target her...

Debate Team Kicks of Season at Western Kentucky
The Truman State University Debate team has begun their season at Western Kentucky University where they competed in their first tournament of the 2012-2013 school year.
The debaters returned with 3rd place in overall sweepstakes points. Sophomore Maddie Ebert (Omaha, NE) and freshman David Cook (Poplar Bluff, MO) were octofinalists in Lincoln Douglas debate, and junior Nick Gorman (Kansas City, MO) was a quarterfinalist. "I was very impressed with the team," Gorman commented on the recent achievement, "We had three people break into elimination rounds. For the first tournament of the year, I was very proud of my team's success."
"The team did very well overall," adds Coach Russell Luce, "Winning a team sweepstakes award was amazing considering that for half of the team, it was their first collegiate tournament. With a young team, it is always more difficult to win team awards, although they rose to the occasion." After winning the national debate competition last year, Truman State University's debate team is determined to defend its championship this year. Coach Luce additionally adds that the toughest level of competition Truman's debate team will face this year is likely to be Western Kentucky and Hillsdale College.

Hi Bill,
This morning I woke up thinking about when I was living on North Craig Street in Pittsburgh while I was a student at Pitt. I had lived in Tower A (dormitory) for two years and decided that I had had enough of that. So Richard, Jim, Joe and I moved into a two bedroom apartment in that area several blocks from campus. After a year living with them I moved into a one-room apartment of my own. You may remember that I wrote about living in that area in my last letter. I don't want to repeat myself, although with my feeble memory I could easily cover the same ground without knowing it.
|Clark back in the late 1960s and early 70s
Anyway, today I thought about that neighborhood and remembered two establishments where I spent a lot of time and money. You may have already guessed that those two establishments were bars. Yes, I admit it! I drank a lot when I was in college (and for many years after that). I never really considered that I had a drinking problem, because everybody in college drank a lot. Didn't they? Well, most of my friends drank a lot. Of course, my affinity for alcoholic beverages actually began while I was in high school, but I think I probably already covered that in some previous letters.
There were two bars on North Craig Street where I (and my friends) hung out.
The Luna was a typical college bash bar that played loud music and attracted college students mostly from Pitt, but also from Carnegie Mellon University. I began partying in The Luna during my junior year even before I turned 21. I was usually able to sneak past the bouncer when the crowd was overwhelming him. After I turned 21, The Luna remained my bar of choice and my friends and I became regulars since we lived practically right across the street from it. The Luna was a large bar that was more like a nightclub for college students. It had a u-shaped bar that extended out from one of the walls, with seating around it and plenty of space to stand and dance and generally let your freak flag fly. Although, during weekend evenings it was extremely crowded and actually difficult to move around in. However, the music was loud and the beer was great, so we spent many hours drinking and talking (actually yelling at each other because of the loud music and other yelling people) in The Luna. It makes me realize what an idiot I was back then when I think about it! The thing was though - I liked the crowded Luna and after a few beers I didn't even notice that the crowd was full of drunken college students who couldn't control their emotions and actions, or even keep their liquor down. Anyway, The Luna was a typical college bar where we could party, dance, yell, drink and totally lose control of ourselves. I spent many enjoyable hours doing that (which I often could not even remember the next day) and I also spent lots of money (which I couldn't really spare) in The Luna.
During the summer after my junior year in college, I met Pat and instantly fell in love with her, although it took me awhile to convince her to hang out with me. Eventually she even accompanied me to The Luna. Although she was under 21, she was usually able to slip by the person checking IDs at the door. However, she gradually convinced me to not spend as much time in The Luna, and I didn't seem to mind that at all.
Okay so I am supposed to be writing about two bars, not my love life.
The second bar was practically across the street from The Luna in distance, but it was a long ways away in ambience. Chief's was a small neighborhood barroom that had a bar with a row of stools along it and some seating booths along the wall across from the bar. Most of the customers were older people who had been imbibing there for many years. However, some college-aged people also frequented it. I and some of my friends went to Chief's when we just wanted to sit and have a beer and talk for a while. In addition, we sometimes had a hardboiled egg and toast or some other quick food. It was a comfortable place where pretty much anyone was accepted as long as they remained cordial and under control. A few of my friends and I went there fairly often to sit, relax and talk. It certainly was not luxurious but it had a comfortable feel. Chief gradually got to know his good patrons and treated us well. Unfortunately, Chief's was also an inviting establishment for robbers with guns. It was robbed several times during the two years that I lived on that block. However, Chief also had a gun (hand gun) to protect himself and his customers, although I am very happy that I never witnessed him using that gun. My good friend from Jamaica RG practically ate all his meals at Chief's and he was also lucky enough to not witness any crimes while there. However, there were gunshots in that bar at least once during the two years that I lived in that neighborhood. My friends and I advised Pat to not sample the atmosphere and food of Chief's and she followed our advice. Thinking back now I believe she would have enjoyed Chief's ambience very much, but is was wise for her to stay safe.
Bill – Of course, we occasionally visited some other bars closer to the Pitt campus. However, The Luna and Chief's were surprisingly important establishments for Pat and I when we lived in that North Craig Street neighborhood many years ago. I think it would be interesting to check out Chief's and The Luna some time when we are in the Pittsburgh area. However, I suppose both those establishments are long gone. It's probably best if we just think of that neighborhood as remaining the way it was back in the day, when we were young and eager to experience life in the future. I hope your life in the present is as fulfilling as mine.
Take care,

The proposal to lower the speed limit on the Golden Gate Bridge for all bicycles to 10 mph has sparked some controvery with cyclists. The plan is intended to reduce bike-related collisions since speed was cited as a main factor in many bicycle crashes.
Bridge officials say the growing popularity of biking or walking across the bridge, along with a yearlong safety study and a planned four-month closure of the bicycles-only west sidewalk have convinced them of the need to slow down the cyclists.
But which cyclists are to blame and if we slow down all cyclists to 10mph, won't that discourage bicycle commuting?
Bicycle coalitions are understandably concerned because their opinions were not included in the study. The proposed speed limit upset many Marin residents who commute to their San Francisco jobs by bike. By Thursday, two days after the district proposed the speed limits, 78 people had e-mailed bridge directors, with a scant three backing the idea.
Issuing $100 tickets to violators would be bad for the bicycle community. Baker, a typical commuter stated, "We're normal commuters. We work hard; we enjoy it. We certainly go faster than 10 mph but we don't race. We're safe; we don't race; we slow down for pedestrians." Several bike commuters said inattentive tourists on rental bikes pose a bigger safety problem. So, the key as I see it, is to balance the safety concerns with the needs of bicyclists as well. These two competing concerns are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
As an avid bicyclist and zealous San Francisco Bicycle Attorney I promote safe and cost effective bicycling. Bicycle commuting is good for the biker and good for the community. I'm a proud sponsor of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, and member of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition as well. I do believe that safety comes first.
I am very glad that the coalitions have weighed in and hope that the decision making process will one day reflect the opinions of the bicycling community as well as others. The primary goal of bicycle coalitions as I see them is to promote safe bicycling both as a viable form of daily travel and recreation. These groups also are rightfully concerned with policies which discourage bicycling, and they express these legitimate concerns.
As a pedestrian attorney I am of course in favor of increased pedestrian safety; however, lets be careful not to demonize San Francisco bicyclists. I too want to learn what the bicycle community has to say and hope for a solution that makes everyone happy and safer.
I can also understand the Alta Planning & Design concerns about the head-on collisions due to the speed of some of the bikers, especially around the bridge towers. But I do not promote making decisions without listening to the people whom will be impacted–the bicycle riders.
A bicycle accident can be deadly for both pedestrians and bicyclists. Injuries such as head injuries, bone fractures, spinal cord injuries, or other serious injuries can occur. I hope all concerned will remember that if bicycling is safer, we will be encouraging bicycling and enhancing the image of cyclists in our community.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about California bicycle laws or bicycle safety, especially on the Golden Gate Bridge. I'd be glad to speak with you free of charge.

Kawanee Hamilton has been a super friend to me, and I am so happy to have her on my blog today for an interview! Isn't she gorgeous?>>>
You write Paranormal Romance. Do you read it as well?
Yes I do! To paraphrase a common refrain: I'll read anything that doesn't read me first. I love to read. Everything Fiction and even some nonfiction. Paranormal Romance, Horrors, Sci-fi/Fantasy, Drama, Historical, True Crime… you name it, I've probably read something in that genre.
My favorite authors in this genre: Sherrilyn Kenyon, Maggie Shayne, and Gena Showalter.
I've only read one of those three! I'm excited to find new reads! Bwahahahahaha!
What drives a Paranormal Romance for you and makes it something you want to read/write?
I love discovering new worlds and mythologies. Strong male characters but equally strong females butting heads and eventually coming together after overcoming obstacles.
I love Romance; I love Sci-fi/Fantasy. Paranormal Romance is a marriage of the two. What's not to like?
Nothing. There is nothing not to like. We ever get to fall in love with our bad guys and turn them into romantic heroes if we want.
Is there an author that makes you strive to be a better writer? Who is it and why?
Yes; only every author I read. I'm jealous of their work, wish I could be as good as they are. I read a book by David Cornwall recently and the opening line was just amazing. I felt completely inadequate and immediately went back to editing the book I'm working on.
That is WONDERFUL! I love reading something that makes me need to rewrite my own. It's a great learning experience and it makes us grow and become better!
What do you think you bring to your books that makes you unique?
Good question. I think every writer brings something unique to their books. We all have unique ways of looking at things and if we can get someone else to read and even entertain our thoughts for a couple of hours or days? Well that's truly something!
I'm entertaining your thoughts this week. Teehee. No spoilers, but tomorrow's review is coming!
What started you on the path to becoming an author?
Well a number of things. I was plagued by nightmares as a child, my dad got tired of taking a boney knee to his- uhmmm- delicate areas in the middle of the night. He taught me that dreams were stories our minds made up and I was the one writing the stories (the author). So I could change them to something not scary. We sat up rewriting my nightmares into dreams, and then introduced me to Andre Norton when I was old enough to read them.
Mom read us books at bedtime and then when I was old enough she let me read Barbara Cartland and her Regency Romances.
I loved Sci-Fi… I loved Romance. Still do, so a marriage between the two was just what I needed.
Your poor father! It's so wonderful that he brought you to this place. I have a personal stake in your success (as a friend and author), so I am grateful to him.
What is that one moment you have had as a writer that made you realize you were actually a real author?
Lol, I'll let you know when it happens! No, really, seeing my words on a page. Knowing that pile of paper is a completed book. Regardless of whether a publishing house ever pays me for it or not, I wrote that. E-books are great, but nothing beats seeing it printed to make it real.
I hear this all the time! My first thought at seeing my book in print was "what a waste of paper". Seriously! I want to have that feeling you are describing. I want to experience that! I am so jealous of you right now.
How did you work your advertising and build your following?
Oh geez… I'm still working on that! I've assaulted every form of social media there is and I'm still trying to build a following.
Well, you found me, so I guess you can write that off as a success 😉 HAHA!
As an author, what is that one memory that will always stick with you?
So far it's seeing my book up on Amazon and watching the counter tick off the number of books sold. I was giddy with excitement.
I recently have been experiencing that feeling too. I'm so happy for you!
How have your aspirations as a writer changed over time?
I'm not sure, I've just always written. I guess I started writing for myself and until a few years ago I'd never thought of getting published.
We will see how time changes you. Next time you are on here, I expect a different result. I can think of one way your aspirations have changed recently. You have decided to not take on a full-time job recently to focus on your writing. That is completely different today than it was at the beginning of the year.
Have you quit your day job yet or are you planning to any time in the future?
I didn't quit my day job, they freed me up to pursue other opportunities in Jan. And now I'm using the "opportunity" to focus on my writing so maybe I don't have to go back to a day job.
See my previous comment 😉
What are you working on now?
I'm working on the sequel to: Alleys and Broken Dreams: Going Home. Alleys is not a Paranormal Romance, it's a drama about the homeless.
Tell us a little about your previous works and how we can get our hands on them.
Well there's two out there right now.
Alleys and Broken Dreams: Going Home. The streets are littered with the shards of broken dreams and in Alleys you'll hear two of their stories. The first installment is about a man who helps a homeless veteran and a 16 yr old runaway.
Nwa Pante Rising: A Were-Pantheress goes into her first heat and meets one of her own kind. Their romance will alter the course of two worlds and spark off an interspecies war.
Where can we stalk–erm, follow your work online these days?

Before the advent of television and modern day transportation, recreation, for the most part, was homegrown. With few entertainment options available in small mill villages across the state, textile league baseball emerged. Popular until the 1950s, each town had its own team, and fans flocked by the hundreds to cheer on the players that represented their mills.
According to a feasibility study released earlier this year, properties located close to Fluor Field have experienced increases in value at a time when much of the nation was reeling from the effects of a sagging real estate market. The study cites the Greenville Drive as a textbook example that illustrates the economic growth associated with a minor league baseball stadium, stating that "properties within [a half-mile] radius saw an average 31 percent annual increase in assessed value from 2006-2011, and the facility, by all accounts, has completely transformed the city."
"When the streets are safe and there are retail establishments, restaurants and businesses - activity on the streets - people enjoy themselves more and feel good about the neighborhood they are in," Lipscomb added.
The air filled with the unmistakable smell of stadium hot dogs and freshly cut grass, the Drive host 70 home games each season. Of importance to note, the games are fan-friendly, family-friendly and affordable. Ticket prices - which range from $5 to $9 - have not been raised in seven years.
A distinctive part of the fabric of the Greenville community, the Drive have repeatedly set single season attendance records. And ticket sales - which have been between 325,000 and 345,000 each season - demonstrate the Drive's regional attraction as well, with fans coming from across the Upstate and beyond.
Always offering a great night out, the Drive organization strives to stay ahead of what fans want.
But, as many fans - myself included - can attest, the biggest attraction is the environment that you are drawn into when you bring your family to a game. Simple. Inviting. Nostalgic.

Also relevant, the classic Douglas Adams parable of the lizards:
"On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."Over on FaceBook, rickthefightguy commented:
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in."
I am no longer in favor of a blanket minimum wage. I now favor a maximum differential between total income of highest-paid capitalist and lowest-paid worker involved in any company. Something like 50:1. So if you want to increase your annual increase in real income by a half a million, that's cool. Just increase all of your lowest-paid employees' annual take by $10K each. If on the other hand, you really _are_ just scraping by and making a tiny profit yourself, you can try to get people to work for you at a pretty low wage.The 'maximum differential' idea is a nice one, and I am in favor of companies adopting it. But as a regulatory solution it leaves much to be desired. One flaw is obliquely noted in Rick's comment by his use of the phrase "real income". Good luck defining that one in a non-exploitable way. Also, the definition of "company" would become (more) fraught. Already, the company I work for doesn't "employ" janitors or security guards; we hire the services of another company to handle that for us. Though my company is large and global, it wouldn't take much paper-shuffling to transform it technically into 25 or more different companies with a wide variety of pay scales, who happen to contract/outsource work between themselves.
When I said "I support minimum wage laws", I mean that I support them in the same sense I support Obamacare. It's a clunky, awkward solution that completely ignores the possibility of simpler, more efficient (and more just) solutions -- but it is a solution that is achievable in the current political climate.
I think that, for both health and 'minimum wage', the *best* solution is actually a socialist one. The government guarantees the health and (basic) welfare of all citizens. Lose all the bureacracy about judging who is "eligible" for these benefits, and the savings are so large that you can afford to just give them to whoever asks. The vast majority of people would still work, either for personal satisfaction, or to improve their lot above subsistence level. And in that situation, you don't need a minimum wage law, because *all* wages are gravy, and the employees aren't being driven by desperation. Not that I expect to live long enough to see American politics move that far from "Communist == Evil" :-(

Health and Nutrition
An estimated 14,000 children in Lao PDR die before reaching the age of five.
- Over 6000 of these deaths are prompted by malnutrition
- More than 5500 of under –five deaths are due to neonatal conditions
- Estimated 4,200 die from pneumonia or diarrhoea
Additionally, 363,000 of children under-five are stunted in Lao PDR. Stunting is low height for age and over 40% of children in Lao are stunted. One in four children is underweight, one in five children suffer from iodine deficiency, which affects the brain and may cause learning impairments. Every year Lao PDR loses USD 200 million/year of its Gross Domestic Product due to malnutrition.
Most Child deaths in Lao PDR are due to common preventable treatable conditions (39% neonatal conditions, 18% pneumonia and 10% diarrhoea).
What We Do
Save the Children is playing a prominent role in helping Lao PDR close the gap on infant and child survival through an innovative and proven Primary Health Care Program that places a priority on women and children. In partnership with Government Provincial Health Departments, infant, child and maternal mortality in selected districts are the lowest in the country.
As a child rights-based organisation, we have a commitment to ensure that all Lao children achieve their rights to survival. We work with local midwives, nurses, doctors, and community members to make this a reality. A strong focus is placed on health systems strengthening such as skill development through training, and data collection and analysis.
Save the Children Primary Health Care (PHC) Approach has been active in Sayaboury Province since 1992. This approach has assisted the Government of Lao to reach two MDG goals for infant and maternal mortality for that province. As a result, in 2010 the Government of Lao has invited Save the Children to expand the model in Luang Prabang Province.
Here are some key points to our PHC model:
- Strengthens district health management by developing skills and having robust systems in place.
- Improves access to health facilities: building more clinics so more communities live within a 5 km or 60 minute walk from a health facility.
- Provides training to health workers and managers (e.g. midwives, nurses, doctors, health volunteers and administrators) to improve and expand quality delivery of health services.
- Promotes inter-sectoral collaboration and has strong community participation.
- Works with communities to solve chronic malnutrition.
Our Impact
During a six month period from Jan. to June 2013, there were 2,502 people trained from: specialist doctors, ethnic students on nursing scholarships, to nurses becoming qualified as midwives, health staff managing local souksalas (clinics), to village volunteers responding to the dengue epidemic.
In 2012, 119,897 women and 57,955 children under the age of five accessed and received maternal, new-born, and child health interventions. 4,709 births were assisted by a skilled birth attendant.
In 2013, an independent review concluded that "the program has demonstrably improved close-to-client services and successfully engaged communities to make use of these services. MDG indicators show steady improvement. Importantly this has been accomplished at low-cost relative to international norms", following on from an earlier review which found "the Sayaboury Primary Health Care Project is probably the most effective health program in Lao PDR." The joint program has also received commendation awards from the Government of Lao PDR and United Nations.

Five ISAF members killed in Afghanistan
Kabul: At least five International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) members were killed Saturday in a helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan, the ISAF said.
"Five ISAF service members died as a result of a helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan today," the statement said.
However, it did not identify the nationalities of the victims and the exact place of the incident, saying it was ISAF policy to defer casualty identification procedures to the relevant national authorities.
The statement did not mention the cause of the air crash, adding that ISAF was still in the process of reviewing the circumstances to determine more facts.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends affected by this tragic event," the statement added.

I am reading mixed reviews about getting the Mirena. I am 25 yrs old. I have been on birth control bills, Levora, for about ten years now & would like to try the Mirena. I have never had children. I am pretty sure the birth control causes me to feel bloated more often than not & reduces my sex drive. However, I am nervous about the Mirena side effects of mainly weight gain, back aches, head aches. I guess I am wondering if the people who got the Mirena had side effects on birth control pills or if I can't even relate the two. I guess if the Mirena fails, I can always switch back to pills.
Nervous about birth control switch!?

Official CallOFDuty.com BO2 Viral thread - UPDATE 7
Snuggles replied to Strwrsbob's topic in General DiscussionThe photo from the release and the screen shot you took don't match up. The triangle flag is not underneath the medals in your screenshot like it is in the photo, and also the flag from your screenshot to the left is not in the photo. They are similar, and it may indeed be in the pentagon, however there is no evidence that it's the window you claim it is. in fact, the images are different. It probably is not related to zombies.

Snuggles replied to Strwrsbob's topic in General DiscussionSo, leapfrogging off of Duckcall00's work we could try to figure some things out. Sadly I don't have time to really go through this very thoroughly, but I'll try to move the ball forward a little bit. What's unique about this transmission is the letters that don't match up when they first appear. The whole message when corrected is: "THE ENEMY COULD BE ANYWHERE AND IT COULD BE ANYONE" The message with the initial errors put back into it reads: "THw ENEMY COUzD Bq ANYWHoRE AND IT COULh BE ANYONE" obviously that's nonsensical, but it could have some meaning either using the letters: w, z, q, o, h or the spot they are in within the sequence: 3w, 14z, 18q, 25o, 40h alternatively, the numbers if we did not count the spaces would be: 3w, 12z, 15q, 21o, 33h or one more possibility is to take the letters and assign them a number in the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, etc.) and we get: 23, 27, 17, 15, 8 --(some methods start with A = 0, so to convert juts subtract 1 from each number) These are a few directions this may go in, however I only have time to suggest them and don't have time to investigate and see if any of these are coordinates or anything like that.

Classic Maps put into Map-Pack for Black Ops.
Snuggles replied to Turbodude917's topic in Classic MapsIt is officially the biggest crock of sh** ever that we won't be able to buy the old maps. the limited edition were just that, limited. the supply did not match the demand. as mentioned before, some people couldn't buy the expensive edition right off the bat, and that's a valid reason on its own. As for me, I had NEVER played zombies before. i never played W@W once. I had no idea if I would like it or not. After buying and playing BO, it was by far my favorite feature. I decided I wanted to play the old maps and see what they were like too. Well, in order to do that, I had to either buy one of the $200+ copies on ebay which probably had the codes sold in them already, or nothing. I considered buying a cheapo copy of W@W, but found out I would have to buy the freaking DLC, so the cost would be huge just to play an old game with old versions of the maps I wanted. so effectively, there was NO WAY for me to get the maps, and that is still the case for no good reason. I've heard countless people say "oh, it was exclusive, get over it!!! it'll never happen!!" well it probably won't happen. but it was exclusive for a long time. people who were lucky enough to get an early copy get to have their fun with it while others don't, and they can brag and feel superior I guess. However, it should be SOLD as DLC now. they had their exclusive time with the maps for months now. there's no reason not to. I got F'd over because I simply didn't know zombies ruled. others because it was sold out. others still because they couldn't afford it. why should all these groups be left out in the cold? it's stupid. it's officially the worst decision 3arc could make. they piss off a lot of people who want the maps and can't get them just to make a few A-holes feel elite for buying the fancy version with a shiny cover. /rant over
Sorry to interject but... It's NOT a glitch. It was institued by Treyarch to PREVENT glitching. You see, many invincibility glitches could be created on the old maps by having one player jump into another player, the 2nd player then proceeding to stand up. This would obviously become much easier and frequented with the new dive function. To prevent a severe increase of glitching, the game prevents you from the glitch by killing both players. It's an anti-glitch tactic and a suitable punishment (IT DOES NOT CHANGE GAME PLAY WHAT SO EVER. NO EXTRA POWER UPS THAT IS A FALSE MYTH) Holy crap, thank you. I'm so tired of people in random lobbies going "OMG COME TO CORNER WE DO GLITCHZ AND GET LOTZ OF POWERUPS! ITZ SO AWSUM!!" it's obviously meant to prevent glitching. I don't know why so many people believe it helps. Every time someone does that in my group, I let them die completely and laugh. maybe that's wrong, but it makes me happy. I'd [brains] you but it didn't let me, have to "spread" it out more.

Screaming in speed cola room... eek! NOW WITH VIDEO
Snuggles replied to Powerhouse631's topic in Kino Der TotenI think that was a reference to the trap in Five, where you have to get the two components to complete the two traps. However, that doesn't mean you're wrong. there may still be something there in Kino. I personally think it has something to do with all the power boxes throughout the map, as you suggested earlier. It's a semi-interactive part of the map and there are several hidden throughout. I bet there's something there when you PaP shoot them all (maybe with the 115 weapons, again as you pointed out).

Alberta Ballet
These transit posters and bus inserts were created to attract the 'not so usual' ballet goer. Hot bodies and a beautiful look make the ballet a lot more digestible to those that usually would never watch a single act. Not sure if it was the bodies or the headlines but Pattison media said they had to constantly refill the media spaces because people were stealing the posters.

I have heard that minocycline will alter eye/skin color and make it darker with hyper pigmentation? I am 17, and for some acne I was prescribed 100mg minocycline tablets to take for 2 months to get rid of the bacteria in my skin. Is this true because if it is I do not want to take this. I love my eye color and would be devastated if it got ruined by some drug.
Minocycline alters eye color? I heard it does and I have light blue eyes. I dont want them to change

Anita Perry could give strong insight into the unpreparedness of Rick Perry's Presidential campaign. Recently she spoke in South Carolina in an emotional monologue about the relationship with her husband, their life in small town Texas and answering God's call to run for President.
She expressed her dismay of the attacks by the media and his GOP rivals on her husband. Her honesty revealed the degree to which it was unexpected. This could be endemic to the Perry campaign. It follows the narrative that Rick Perry was not fully primed for the national stage.
It's been a rough month. We have been brutalized and beaten up and chewed up in the press to where I need this today. We are being brutalized by our opponents, and our own party. So much of that is, I think, they look at him because of his faith. He is the only true conservative – well, there are some true conservatives. And they're there for good reasons. And they may feel like God called them too. But I truly feel like we are here for that purpose.
More than 70% of Americans identify as Christian and that includes his rivals for President but there is serious risk as the nominee if he is viewed as basing his tough decisions on messages from God. She insisted that he would have never written "FED Up" if he planned on running for President but that, "he truly felt like he was called to do this".
Typically spouses are left to their privacy until they start speaking out in public. In most cases its better that they don't given the emotional and personal nature of politics. Just ask Carl Lewis.

The Japanese are really into plants and nature. These are hanging succulents and moss arrangements for sale in a department store, and a really ancient cactus that has been pruned, leaving the star shapes you can see here.

I assume that readers do not believe that the CIA, the Mafia, the military-industrial complex or some other manifestation of the System ordered the murder of JFK. Conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination, once everywhere, are now confined to the diminishing audience for Oliver Stone's movies. I am not sure, however, that you can say, hand on heart, that you have not thought for a fleeting moment that maybe there just might be something in the following propositions:
- That Nato governments and their tame journalists invented the "atrocities" committed by Slobodan Milosevic's Serbia and her allies in order to justify a war to expand the empire of neo-liberalism into the southern Balkans;
- That Prince Philip, along with the British and French intelligence services, arranged the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, because she was about to marry a Muslim;
- That the 9/11 atrocities in New York and Washington were an "inside job" organised by a rogue faction within the US intelligence agencies or maybe the Bush administration itself to justify war in the Muslim world;
- That Israel warned Jews to stay away from the World Trade Centre on 9/11 but allowed the slaughter of gentiles to stoke up hatred of Muslims;
- That the Jews, once again, formed a "lobby" in the US that pushed America into a needless war against Saddam Hussein;
- And that the Bush and Blair administrations knew in advance that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction worthy of the name but lied and went to war under a false prospectus.
In the past 15 years, vast numbers of people have believed one or more of the above. For a decade after Diana's death, polls reported that between one-fifth and one-third of the British public thought she had been murdered — even though to sustain that conviction they had to accept that the conspirators must have known in advance that she would decide not to stay in Mohamed Fayed's Paris Ritz, what car she and Dodi Fayed would leave in once they had resolved to move on, who would be driving the car, where and by which route it would travel and — finally and bafflingly — that the poor woman would forget to put on her seatbelt.
