Healdsburg Mayor Gary Plass and fellow Councilman Tom Chambers are on the defensive, sending out a public letter detailing the cost savings the city has achieved over the past several years.
The unusual move was in response to a commentary in the local paper signed by two former mayors and two other prominent citizens who said the City Council doesn't appear to feel the same sense of urgency in addressing "a financial crisis at hand."
"Someone needs to rattle the cage and spur some motivational activity," former Mayor Eric Ziedrich said Friday to explain why he co-authored the opinion piece. The commentary also raised questions about whether a council with three retired public employees can deal effectively with reducing employee costs.
"We hope that the three former Healdsburg public safety employees now serving on the City Council (retired police officers Plass, Susan Jones, and fire captain Steve Babb) will put to rest public concerns about possible divided loyalties by proactively seeking long-term solutions to salary, benefits and retirement for City Employees," Ziedrich stated.
It also was signed by former Mayor Leah Gold, businessman Mel Amato and former parks and recreation commissioner Bruce Abramson. (Read the commentary by Bob Abramson, Mel Amato, Leah Gold and Eric Ziedrich)
In their response, Plass and Chambers said the City Council has been "working diligently over the past three years to decrease operating expenses and promote sound financial practices," including reducing the city work force by 18 percent and gaining concessions from employee groups.
As a former police sergeant, Plass said he and his retired public safety colleagues on the council "are on a different track now, representing the community."
"For people to say you have split loyalties is not valid," he said.
The back and forth comes as Healdsburg wrestles with an estimated $24 million shortfall in its pension obligations and projections that it will run out of budget reserves in the next two to three years.
It also comes as city administrators are renegotiating contracts with police and fire employees. And the dialogue is a preview of the run-up to November's election in which Plass, Chambers and Babb are face re-election, and Ziedrich is considering running again for City Council.
Cities, state and county governments are facing similar difficult budget scenarios as a result of the economic downturn and more generous benefits that were granted to public employees over the past decade.
Healdsburg City Council members have made efforts to highlight the problem by holding several recent public meetings to draw attention to burgeoning pensions costs.
The council invited former North Bay Assemblyman Joe Nation, now a Stanford public policy professor and pension critic, to scrutinize and present a report on the outlook for Healdsburg's retirement programs.
Ziedrich on Friday credited council members with their willingness to discuss the pension deficit and the inroads they've made on budget problems.
"While we can commend them for some of the efforts they've made, it's obviously way too little to address the huge shortfall on the horizon," he said.
Plass said he and Chambers crafted their lengthy letter because "we're trying to show them the steps we've taken, and we're continuing to move forward."
The councilmen state that in a recent two-year period, the city reduced employee salaries by $2.1 million, in essence by not granting salary increases and getting employees to contribute more toward their pension and medical plans.
Their letter details other costs savings and mentions some measures the council is considering to increase revenues, such asking voters to approve a half-percent sales tax hike and charging for parking downtown.
Ziedrich and his co-signers wrote that the city needs to do more to address pension retirement formulas, not only for future employees, but current employees as well.
There should be contract renegotiations, they said, so that city employees have to wait until they are older to retire and also receive a smaller percentage of their salary for each year of service.
"The gist of the message is there's a lot more that needs to be done. Let's not rest on our laurels," Ziedrich said.
"We're working real hard to get the structural deficit in tow," said Plass. "We also know we're dealing with people's lives. It's not just a bunch of numbers on a piece of paper. We'll get there."

Read the letter from Healdsburg Mayor Gary Plass and Councilmember Tom Chambers:
April 16, 2012
An Open Letter to the Citizens of Healdsburg:
As members of the City Council we take our fiduciary responsibilities very seriously. We have been working diligently over the past three years to decrease operating expenses and promote sound financial practices. Recent inquiries and events have led us to the realization that we have not been effective in communicating our efforts to the public. The purpose of this letter is to provide clarification and a brief summary of our actions to date.
It is important to begin by stating that a combination of factors has led to our fiscal challenges. National and state economic conditions have impacted local spending resulting in decreased sales tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenues. Property values have decreased leading to a corresponding decrease in property tax receipts. Perhaps the most notable blow to our revenues is the state "raids" that have redirected revenues away from city coffers, most recently the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. All of these dynamics, coupled with inflation, have affected the budget.
Not all operating funds have shortfalls. The Enterprise funds, including Community Services, Water, Sewer and Electric are balanced. While not meeting recommended capital replacement and reserve requirements, it is anticipated the pending utility rate increases will ensure the health of these funds over the next four years. The current strength of these funds is a direct result of the Council's implementation of rigorous financial planning.
The general fund is most problematic, primarily due to its revenue sources and the issues cited above. A deficit is projected for the current and upcoming fiscal years. However, we are moving forward with a comprehensive strategy that we believe will strengthen the City's financial position. This strategy includes a combination of revenue enhancements and budget reductions designed to ensure funding for the City's core services. Examples of the application of our strategy follow.
Past actions of the City Council
1. Staff reductions. Through a combination of attrition, layoffs and the elimination of vacant positions the City's workforce has been reduced by 18%. The City has gone from 137 full time and 20 part time positions to 113 full time positions and 16 part time positions today. Additional layoffs are anticipated for the FY 12/13 budget.
2. Employee concessions. There have been no cost of living raises for civilian employees since 2007 MEA and Mid-management members and 2008 for IBEW members. In FY 09/10 the City Council successfully negotiated new contracts with three bargaining units and management staff to reduce benefits. All non-safety employees are paying the 8% employee share of the PERS contribution. In addition, these same employees are contributing 10% toward their medical premiums and have six unpaid furlough days per year. Savings from the contract effective dates through the end of this fiscal year are estimated at $651,459.
Police members have not had a cost of living adjustment since 2008. In 2010 police association employees began paying 8% of the 9% employee share of the PERS contribution, providing an estimated savings to date in excess of $110,000. Fire employees are contributing 2% of the 9% employee share of the PERS contribution.
Audited numbers FY 08/09 compared to FY 10/11 depict a total savings in employee salaries and benefits of $2,158,575.
3. Operational modifications. Staff has been creative in cutting operational expenses and maximizing miscellaneous receipts. Budgets for services and supplies have been reduced through a variety of mechanisms: centralized purchasing, reuse and recycling of materials, reduction of inventory and renegotiated contracts with suppliers and consultants. Surplus vehicles and equipment have been auctioned, generating sales proceeds and reducing overall fleet maintenance costs.
4. Revenue. The City Council authorized an audit of TOT receipts. Audit results indicate substantial compliance, but did reveal some calculation errors. While one case remains outstanding, the resolved cases have recovered over $143,000.
Current actions of the City Council
1. EPMC benefit elimination. With the bulk of City's employees paying the employee PERS contribution, the City is able to eliminate a retirement benefit called Employer Paid Member Contribution. Staff is expected to complete the meet and confer process within the next month which will allow the City Council to adopt resolutions revising the benefit in June. The expected savings moving into FY 12/13 is $241,034.
2. Employee negotiations. The City is currently engaged in negotiations with Police and Fire units. The content of these discussions will not be disclosed to maintain the integrity of the bargaining process. That said, the City Council cannot disregard the importance of parity among all units and good financial management.
3. Shared/Contract services. For the past year staff has been evaluating opportunities to contract for services with other government agencies. These contractual relationships could result in Healdsburg utilizing another agency for services or, conversely Healdsburg providing services on a fee basis to others. In addition, staff is comparing the cost of providing services internally versus contracting with the private sector. Prior to making a decision it is critical to look at the quality and timeliness of service. Present considerations include: fleet maintenance, building maintenance, laboratory testing and IT.
4. Pension Side Fund. On April 2nd the City Council authorized the finance director to proceed with a refinancing of the pension side fund. This will save the City approximately $918,930 over 11 years.
5. Fire department. On April 9th the City Council directed staff to spend the next year looking at alternate models to provide fire suppression and prevention services. Among the options identified for contemplation: contract services, a fire district, and a joint powers authority.
6. Revenue. The City Council hired a consultant to conduct a ballot feasibility study to measure the community's support for a potential half-cent sales tax increase. The potential ballot measure is under Council consideration. Other ideas for revenue generation being explored are: paid parking, assessment districts, fee increases and aggressive economic development programs.
7. Second tier. The City has obtained PERS valuations for a second tier to reduce retirement benefits for new employees. As proposed, the second tier would provide a 2% at 60 formula for miscellaneous employees and a 2% at 55 formula for safety employees. It also eliminates the "single highest year" provision in favor of calculating retirement benefits on a three-year average. The second tier cannot be implemented without going through the collective bargaining process.
Future actions of the City Council
A primary focus of the City Council moving into the future is pension reform. The pension elements that can be controlled locally (retirement formula, single highest year, etc.) are being addressed. Because PERS rules, regulations and retirement options are legislated by the state government, efforts must focus on all-encompassing reform at the state level. This is a goal that will not be accomplished without considerable determination. It will require a process focused on legislative action and transformation. This Council is committed to pushing the reform agenda forward.
In conclusion, be assured the City Council will continue to move the City toward financial sustainability. The decisions made to date have been unanimous. They represent the convictions of all five council members, regardless of political orientation, employment status and reelection bids. We are dedicated to Healdsburg and will continue to work cooperatively and responsibly for the benefit of all.
Mayor Gary Plass
Councilmember Tom Chambers
Heather, you have made an excellent constructive suggestion.
Side perks for the group of "executive"
dept. heads should be dealt with.
Did you know that along with the pay raises, the administrative leave award hours were increased by 25 % this year to 100 hrs.
Did you know that the Auto Allowances were made "PERSable" (that means that the City pays extra on top of that so that the auto allowance becomes yet an added pension benefit).–under the Brown reform plan, this is considered a pension "spiking method". Do the executives for a small town of 10,000 really have such stressful jobs that these extras are required. Extras that add to the City debt obligation down the road when no one notices ?

Plenty of blame to go around. But it will take all of us to fix it and some discussion deeper than "you're a 3 year old.

I know the LA Times did a story statewide concerning cities and what councils are paid and it showed that the combined pay and Health benefits package for each council member totalled $25k. About $12.5K for pay and $12.5K for health benefits. This is for part time work that people campaign and spend money to get elected to do.
My suggestion would be that our council lead by example and not take any pay except for true expenses and at least give up their helath benefits. I know the city doesn't give their part time employees benefits so why should the council get them, that doesn't seem fair at all. So that will save $125,000 a year right there and set a good example (remember a little league coach, scout master or other community volunteers do not get paid so why should they).
As for the Department Heads I would strongly suggest the Council look at doing away with "Administrative leave". In the private sector you get Vacation and Sick Leave. The department heads use the Administrative leave as another source of income. Also I would make sure to limit the ability to cash out to only Vacation time. You could also get rid of car allowances for department heads, most of the work is done within town, so why get an auto allowance. If you travel out of Healdsburg get milage like everyone else does or use one of the city's vehicles.
By doing away with Administrative leave and Auto Allowances the city could probably save another chunck of change.
Again if the Council, former Council, and department heads want to talk about structural problems with the City's budget I would say look at the top first, lead by example and remember why you ran or took the job, to serve the community.

What part of the word ' unsustainable' do they not understand ?
What part of 'fiscal crisis' do they not understand ?
Is there any sanity in local politics ?
I am befuddled.

Let's get real here. Negotiate with ranks and file ? Did you know that council quitely gave their so called executives from each department, brand new automatic step increases to their pay range adding an extra 15 to 20 percent over their current 140,000 dollar (ave. salary)
Did you know that in leiu of taking away the EPMC pension benefit, that they just added it back on backdoor by tacking on an extra pay step to these new salary ranges ? These executives supervise far less employees than an average manager at a real company, yet they are given some interesting side perks.

"Republicans can be defined as people who think they're smart, but sadly are not."
Exactly the kind of reasonable, civil, sober comment liberals always call for when they are losing an argument.
Perhaps we could define Democrats as children who have passed the age of majority.
19 9
The Healdsburg City Council appears to have approved "Refinance Pension Side Fund", this is a new phrase for a "Pension Obligation Bond." The difference between a pension fund's assets and liabilities; what is in the bank and what is needed to cover past service for actives and retirees; is known as an unfunded liability.
Healdsburg's present unfunded liability to Calpers is $6.6 Million that has to be paid back over the next thirty years at the "target rate" of 7.75%. A Pension Obligation Bond is a very risky gamble whereas Healdsburg will pay-off the "soft debt" to Calpers with a "hard debt", money borrowed from Wall Street at 6% interest with the hope that this money given Calpers will outperform the market.
The Center for State & Local Government Excellence has a well balanced report on the risks of POB's at:
The State of California has tried to do POB's for their Calpers obligation but it was found unconstitutional because they would have to have the debt approved by voters. Local Governments have found a loophole allowing them to bury themselves with bond debt to pay for pension obligations. Sonoma County presently has the highest per capita bond debt of all 58 counties in the state with $600 Million in POB's.
Healdsburg should ask Supervisors McGuire and Rabbit what they think about POB's and I think they would say don't do it.
I would support state legislation denying local government the ability to issue POB's. Many local governments are on the same conveyor belt to insolvency and it will be a lot easier to shed soft debt over the hard bond debts if bankruptcy occurs.

So, uh, Bear.
Tell us again how you attained your expertise that supposedly puts all others to shame?
Was it your retired public employee status?
Oh, wait. You claimed you "had more degrees" than others on this board.
Did you see the news item two days ago where the vast majority of public employees had degrees in PSYCHOLOGY ???
AHHHhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
And for those of you not understanding the joke, the govt gives more $$$$ to its public employees who have "degrees"….
Ahhhhh ha h aha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
20 13
The fox guarding the henhouse.What a joke.

"retired police officers Plass, Susan Jones, and fire captain Steve Babb"
Any we wonder why our budget problems still exists. When we remove public employees from the oversight and replace with people who have no interest in the government run system these people retired from, we'll get back on track and fix the problems. Until this time occurs, we'll continue to feed the massive wasteful spending on government programs and projects.
What people fail to acknowledge it is that government isn't the solution, they're the reason we're in this economic mess in the first place.
21 7
All of this is symptomatic of a broken pension system and retired public employees elected to local government where they are making decisions on millions of pension dollars in Healdsburg and in too many other cities in Sonoma County and California.
They have studies, reviews, discussions, handwringing, but little else. They strike deals with public employee unions that do next to nothing to stop the bleeding and reduce the deficits. They brag that they have turned the corner and this latest fix will help.
The problem is all of this is too late and too little. The answer is Healdsburg will have to abandon the PERS system.
Will this happen? No not when three of the five council members are retired public safety. This goes to the heart of the problem. Former public employees elected to city councils making decisions on millions of dollars in pensions that directly impact them and their own retirements.
The whole system needs a fundamental, radical change if any fiscal control is to be regained.
20 9
How much are their council members making and department heads? I'm willing to bet their council members are making $300,000 per year and the department heads are making that much as well or near to it. No one at the top should be making over $100,000 a year in the gov't. No one.
That would SOLVE the budget crisis instead of taking it OUT of the salaries and pensions of the much lower paid workforce.
12 11
Small time tea partiers waging war on the current Council and public employees.
Republican economic and regulatory policies brought on this disaster, and now the dimwits responsible are trying to use their own disaster for political gain. Even in a small but nice place like Healdsburg.
How contemptible!
But let's look at the upside. Since none of these critics have a memory that extends beyond 3 years, they are clearly ineligible to hold public office, as 3-year-olds can't run for Council.
Even better, this applies to all republican candidates for president or any congressional office.
Republicans can be defined as people who think they're smart, but sadly are not.

SALT LAKE CITY -- A 57-year-old man is behind bars in Salt Lake City after allegedly trying to kill himself and his disabled son with prescription drugs.
Jail records show Michael Lund Martin remains behind bars Friday on $100,000 bail.
A report from the jail says staff members at Intermountain Medical Center called police Wednesday while treating two overdose victims.
Police say the man told them he had gotten into a fight with his wife and was feeling overwhelmed when he made a cocktail of prescription and sleeping pills.
Martin reportedly told investigators he gave the same medications to his 31-year-old son, who has cerebral palsy, because he didn't want to burden anyone else with the job of taking care of the young man.
Officials say the son was released to his mother's care.

What is the most touching display at the Fashion Institute of Technology's "A Queer History of Fashion: From the Closet to the Catwalk"? Is it the wall of fading T-shirts, unwitting souvenirs of heroic demonstrations long past, with slogans like "Safe Sex Is Hot Sex"? Is it Larry Kramer's 1970s Yves Saint Laurent navy safari suit, a physical homage to two gay icons? Or maybe the tailcoat Miguel Adrover fashioned from Quentin Crisp's filthy mattress cover? Or perhaps Marlene Dietrich's trim trouser suit—the perfect tailleur for a sexually free chanteuse who was once described as "the best-dressed man in Hollywood"?
The exhibition, opening Friday and on view until January 4, 2014, undertakes to tell the story of the intersection between the LGBT community and fashion—a tale that begins with eighteenth-century "Mollies" (effeminate, cross-dressing "sodomites"), "Macaronis" (foppish fellows whose presence questioned received ideas of masculinity), and "Man-milliners" (guys who worked in the rag trade), all of whom hung out in places like Mother Clap's London molly house, site of a notorious 1726 police raid.
Centuries of subterfuge and oppression followed, and years of secret sartorial codes—Oscar Wilde's green carnation is a famous example—with the threat of prison or the madhouse haunting every encounter. In the decades before the Stonewall rebellion, designers, by necessity, kept their sexual orientations under, in some cases, literal wraps—Noël Coward, whose silk dressing gown is on display here, once warned Cecil Beaton: "It is important not to let the public have a loophole to lampoon you . . . I take ruthless stock of myself before the mirror before going out. A polo jumper or an unfortunate tie exposes one to danger."
The exhibition is full of such historical revelations, along with the ensembles created by these geniuses: Who knew back in the day that Christian Dior's final lover, Jacques Benita, was a nightclub singer who performed with a lesbian chanteuse named Suzy Solidor? And how spectacular is it that Rudi Gernreich, scandalous author of, among other innovations, the topless swimsuit, was also a founding member of the Mattachine Society circa 1950 gay rights organization that formed when such associations were illegal?
By the early 1970s, everyone, straight or gay, was sporting shaggy hair and wearing funny clothes, an exuberance that culminates in audacious frocks like the "Lyla Cortez" extravaganza once flaunted by Tahara (aka J.W. Windsor), a charter member of the avant-garde transgender performance troupe the Cockettes. The dress incorporates neckties that originally belonged to Tahara's great-grandfather, and the wearer recalled that gramps would have "rolled over in his grave" if he had seen them transformed into "a dress worn by a man."
As the narrative of sexual and cultural revolution unfolds, once unthinkable styles—velvet cone bras, leather chaps—filter into the mainstream. (Gianni Versace remembered, with wonder, that at a certain fete in the 1990s, "There were 200 socialites in bondage!") In a gallery devoted to designs by openly gay creators—Tom Ford, Thierry Mugler, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, et al.—Jean Paul Gaultier's hilarious pink sailor outfit, suitable for a sexy ice cream man who has wandered onto the set of Rainer Werner's Querelle, stands sentinel, a triumphant harbinger of the final installation, where wedding ensembles are on joyous display. If only those Mollies and Macaronis could have witnessed these joyous nuptial ensembles: what a night of mad celebration that would have made at Mother Clap's.

Detective: Informant in Santa Rosa armored car heist wanted reward
Published: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 7:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 7:38 a.m.
As three Santa Rosa men plotted a multimillion-dollar armored car heist, police were watching their every move with the help of an inside informant who wore a body wire and hoped to collect a $100,000 reward, a detective testified Wednesday.
Kevin Jensen, a family friend of suspect Monico Dominguez, 39, came forward in time to prevent the planned Aug. 6 robbery of Garda Cash Logistics, Santa Rosa Police Detective Brian Boettger testified.
Jensen got wind of the caper when Dominguez sought his help in stealing an armored car filled with cash and driving it to a safe house, the detective said.
"Dominguez said he had a job for him if he wanted it," Boettger testified.
The Sacramento man turned him down at first. He tipped the FBI after learning Garda was offering the generous reward in exchange for information about a previous heist at its Santa Rosa office, Boettger said.
But authorities persuaded Jensen to go back to Dominguez and pretend to be a partner-in-crime, recording conversations and collecting evidence over two weeks, Boettger said.
With his assistance, police were able to listen to and even watch on hidden video cameras as Jensen and Dominguez cased the Northpoint Parkway warehouse and talked about details of the robbery, Boettger said.
The night of the heist, police staged a fake emergency outside and the scheme was canceled. Dominguez, his nephew Juan Dominguez Jr., 26, and Shawn Geernaert, 33, all of Santa Rosa, were arrested the next day.
"Obviously, we couldn't let the robbery take place," Boettger testified at a preliminary hearing for the men.
The three face stiff prison sentences if convicted of conspiracy, attempted robbery and other charges. They have pleaded not guilty.
Monico Dominguez also is charged with being one of two men who held up the same Garda warehouse last year, making off with about $910,000.
In that incident, two masked and armed men slipped into the warehouse behind an entering armored car late at night, held employees at gunpoint and left with bags of cash, another detective testified.
The second suspect remains at large.
Prosecutors believe Monico Dominguez was planning to strike again this year before he was caught.
Detectives testified his plan was similar to the first robbery, except that he wanted to steal an entire truck, stash it at Geernaert's southwest Santa Rosa cabinet shop and flee to Costa Rica with the money. They hoped to walk away with several million dollars, prosecutors said.
Boettger testified that the elder Dominguez called Geernaert at home minutes before the planned robbery and got a combination to the lock on his gate.
Dominguez then phoned another person and relayed the combination, the detective said.
Geernaert maintains he had no knowledge of any robbery plans. His lawyer, Joe Stogner, has said Geernaert believed he was giving Dominguez access to his shop so that Dominguez could borrow his truck.
The hearing continues Oct. 19.

President Obama to Address U.S. from CMU's National Robotics Engineering Center
06/23/11 Just over a week since his gaffe stating that technologies such as ATMs were hurting the economy by taking jobs away from tellers and the resulting barrage of criticism from the right wing press, President Barack Obama seems to have done an about face and is now embracing these very same cutting-edge technologies - in particular those created at Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC). NREC's impressive roster of technological innovations range from crowd-sourced vehicles to complex modeling software aimed at driving the development of the next-generation of increasingly sophisticated robots. The President will address the U.S. tomorrow…

The main issue we noticed was that the TV seems to have a de-interlacing problem. This is never especially severe, and won't affect progressive content, like Blu-rays or Sky+HD. We noticed it most with TV shows via the built-in Freeview receiver. Neighbours and The Jeremy Kyle Show, for example, both suffered from jagged lines on fast-moving objects. This problem wasn't severe, and we could live with it, but you might want to see it for yourself before you lay down your cash.
That said, we honestly don't think that most people who buy this TV will be planning on predominantly watching standard-definition TV shows. Also, apart from the de-interlacing issue, we actually liked the Freeview picture. There was plenty of detail and, after some minor tweaking, the colours looked very pleasing.
HD material, especially 2.35:1 movies, looked amazing. We were initially slightly worried that Blu-rays would suffer, because the TV has to zoom the picture to remove black bars. In practice, this didn't prove to be an issue. HD pictures looked superb and we could have spent plenty of time happily watching Star Trek, Casino Royale and The Dark Knight in HD. One interesting point about the most recent Batman movie is that, if you watch it on this TV, you'll lose the top and bottom of the IMAX shots. This might not bother you, but, if IMAX becomes more popular, it could be an issue.
Audio is half the experience
We have nothing bad to say about this TV's sound. Considering the set has a built-in speaker system, its audio is superb. Philips has achieved this by placing tweeters on the front of the set, for high-end sounds and speech, and these are backed up at the rear with a pair of woofers.
This separated system means you get very clear dialogue, and deep, rich bass. It's a sad irony that the people likely to buy this TV will probably also have kick-arse AV equipment and powerful speakers. But it's good not to have to turn your amp on when you just want to watch EastEnders.
Extra features
This TV also has plenty of funky toys that make it more attractive to tech lovers. For a start, it's got DLNA, which means you can stream audio and video over your home network to this TV. We applaud the inclusion of this feature, but we wish the TV supported more in the way of codecs.
The newly designed menus are excellent, and we love the fact that you can customise your home screen to allow for fast access to your favourite inputs. We also adore the Ambilight feature. It's the sort of thing that'll you miss if you ever have to watch a TV without it. Unfortunately, Philips hasn't put a fourth Ambilight strip on the bottom. For a TV that looks great hanging on the wall, this is a missed opportunity to make it look even better.
We really like the Philips Cinema 21:9. It's something of gimmick, but, when you watch a 2.35:1 movie on the screen, in the dark, with Ambilight on, you feel like you're enjoying a movie in the most immersive way possible.
As much as we like this set, though, we can't help but think it would be bested by a good video projector. Take one of JVC's amazing DLA machines, for example, and you'll have a home-cinema experience that can't easily be beaten. Such a set-up may be less convenient for day-to-day viewing, but this TV isn't intended for day-to-day use anyway -- it's aimed at movie fans. Having said that, we wouldn't discourage you from buying this TV. We like almost everything about it and, aside from a few minor niggles, we think it's an excellent piece of kit.

Its been a traumatic few weeks in the scrummy household. We have had poorly sick animals. That's right- plural- both the dog and the cat. Proper poorly animals too- requiring numerous trips to the vets. I have managed 7 visits in the last 3 weeks and a bill of over £700 pounds.
The good news is that my dog is now fine- the very high temperature has passed, and shes back to being an adorable pain in the backside as per usual.
The cat however is still struggling.She has had a paralysis in her rear leg for 3 weeks now. She appears to think this is somehow my fault and has decided the beat strategy is to sulk. As a result she hasn't moved far and is eating next to nothing. I am finding myself wondering around a selection of supermarkets buying yet more cat food trying to find something to tempt her.Throughout the day I am moving her to her favourite places trying to encourage some signs of life or interest. I have even taken her upstairs in the hope that she would have to make her own way back down - but no she sat exactly where I had left her looking really unhappy until I gave in and carried her back to her bed.
Hence my new best friend Brad. Having only gone to the vets once a year for
boosters, we are now on first name terms. He even recognises my voice on
the phone. I suspect hes spending his bank holiday booking a 5 star
break somewhere exotic at my expense. I meanwhile am lamenting my
decision not to train as a vet 20 years ago. I am a little concerned that he may think I am starting to develop stalker tendencies but my face is not yet on a poster baring me from the practice so I figure all is good. Me and the cat are back to see him again on Wednesday- I have made the appointment at an earlier time to keep him on his toes-variety is the spice of life after all!

Syria bombing kills at least 10
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - A car bomb rocked a busy residential and commercial district in central Damascus Monday, killing at least 10 people and causing heavy material damage, a Syrian government official said.
The blast, which state-run Syrian TV described as a terrorist suicide bombing, went off near the Sabaa Bahrat Square, one of the capital's biggest roundabouts. The Syrian Central Bank, a mosque and a school are located nearby.
A massive cloud of black smoke rose from the area as ambulances rushed to the scene.
Monday's blast is the latest in a series of car bombs and suicide bombings to hit the Syrian capital. The last such explosion in central Damascus was on Feb. 22, when a suicide car bombing near the ruling Baath Party headquarters killed 53 people and wounded more than 200, according to state media.
Anti-regime activists at the time put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest bombing in the capital in the two-year Syrian civil war.
TV images on Monday showed thick black smoke billowing in a wide street with several cars on fire. At least six bodies were seen lying in the street. Paramedics were seen carrying on a stretcher a young woman wearing a jeans skirt, her face bloodied, into an ambulance.
Shaken teenage students holding their backpacks were seen walking away. The TV said the blast occurred near the Bukhari School.
The Syrian government official told The Associated Press that 10 people were killed. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give official statements to the media.

Protein targeting: altering receptor kinase function in the brain
Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 23, Issue 6, 1 June 2000, Pages 236-239
Robert Gerlai
AbstractGene targeting has proved to be one of the most powerful techniques with which one can investigate molecular mechanisms that underlie complex phenomena such as learning and memory. Despite its popularity, however, concerns have been raised about this technique and alternative approaches have been sought. One such approach is protein targeting, which is based on the application of immunoadhesins, genetically engineered fusion proteins that exhibit functionally relevant target specificity. These immunoadhesins modulate the activity of not only a single receptor but of all receptors with homologous binding sites, which thereby eliminates the possibility of compensation by sister receptors. Furthermore, immunoadhesins can be used not only to impair but also to improve receptor function in the brain. Initial studies using immunoadhesins suggest that protein targeting might be a useful approach for analyzing the molecular mechanisms of brain function and behavior.

Retroviral Entry Mediated by Receptor Priming and Low pH Triggering of an Envelope Glycoprotein
Cell, Volume 103, Issue 4, 10 November 2000, Pages 679-689
Walther Mothes, Adrienne L. Boerger, Shakti Narayan, James M. Cunningham and John A.T. Young
SummaryAvian leukosis virus (ALV) has been used as a model system to understand the mechanism of pH-independent viral entry involving receptor-induced conformational changes in the viral envelope (Env) glycoprotein that lead to membrane fusion. Here, we report the unexpected finding that ALV entry depends on a critical low pH step that was overlooked when this virus was directly compared to the classical pH-dependent influenza A virus. In contrast to influenza A virus, receptor interaction plays an essential role in priming ALV Env for subsequent low pH triggering. Our results reveal a novel principle in viral entry, namely that receptor interaction can convert a pH-insensitive viral glycoprotein to a form that is responsive to low pH.

Blocking the NGF-TrkA Interaction Rescues the Developmental Loss of LTP in the Rat Visual Cortex
Neuron, Volume 25, Issue 1, 1 January 2000, Pages 165-175
Emanuele Pesavento, Elisa Margotti, Massimo Righi, Antonino Cattaneo and Luciano Domenici
SummaryAlthough nerve growth factor (NGF) is a crucial factor in the activity-dependent development and plasticity of visual cortex, its role in synaptic efficacy changes is largely undefined. We demonstrate that the maintenance phase of long-term potentiation (LTP) is blocked by local application of exogenous NGF in rat visual cortex at an early stage of postnatal development. Long-term depression (LTD) and bidirectional plasticity are unaffected. At later postnatal ages, blockade of either endogenous NGF by immunoadhesin (TrkA-IgG) or TrkA receptors by monoclonal antibody rescues LTP. Muscarinic receptor activation/inhibition suggests that LTP dependence on NGF is mediated by the cholinergic system. These results indicate that NGF regulates synaptic strength in well-characterized cortical circuitries.

Add/View Comments (0)CAR1, a TNFR–Related Protein, Is a Cellular Receptor for Cytopathic Avian Leukosis–Sarcoma Viruses and Mediates Apoptosis
Jürgen Brojatsch1, *, , John Naughton1, Melissa M Rolls1, Kurt Zingler2 and John A.T Young1
1 Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
2 Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco, California 94143, USA
- Viral envelope (Env)–receptor interactions have been implicated in the cell death associated with infection by subgroups B and D avian leukosis–sarcoma viruses (ALVs). A chicken protein, CAR1, was identified that permitted infection of mammalian cells by these viral subgroups. CAR1 bound to a viral Env fusion protein, comprising an ALV-B surface Env protein and the Fc region of an immunoglobulin, indicating that it is a specific viral receptor. CAR1 contains two extracellular cysteine-rich domains characteristic of the TNFR family and a cytoplasmic region strikingly similar to the death domain of TNFR1 and Fas, implicating this receptor in cell killing. Chicken embryo fibroblasts susceptible to ALV-B infection and transfected quail QT6 cells expressing CAR1 underwent apoptosis in response to the Env–Ig fusion protein, demonstrating that this cytopathic ALV receptor can mediate cell death.

The way it should be
Reading the paper every day and watching the news every evening, I see as everyone does the high number of robberies going on in this state.
I think it has come to the time to post signs outside all businesses. No hoodies, no sunglasses, no face shield whatsoever, you will be told to leave immediately.
While in Connecticut a few years back, we girls walked into a mall and were sitting there looking around and security walked over to us and told my granddaughter she had to put the hoodie down and keep it down while in the whole mall. I got POd at the time but said nothing. Then I got to thinking: Yup, thats the way it should be, for the safety of everyone in there. Nothing to hide, why not? We should be doing that at all businesses in this state. All these robberies just inflate the cost for the rest of us.
Maybe someone in Montpelier should take that up this year.
I believe it will slow it down some certainly cant hurt.

Great deal on Husky Liners
I needed a set of liners for my sons new Grand Cherokee. I did a search and found Streetsideauto.com . They have a deal going to 12-31-12 on Husky. 15% off on anything over $100 + free shipping. I looked at their site and called Summit since I buy just about everything for my two cars from them and I know they price match. They couldnt meet the price. I ordered the mats yesterday for $152 for the full set.Thats front, rear, and cargo. The guy told me they ship out of PA so I should see them on Tues or Wed. Im going out to my garage this morning and a Fedex truck pulls up. My shipment came today !!!! They shipped the mats overnight. FREE !!! If anyone needs a set of mats give this place a call.

UPDATE 2-AIG's search for new CEO led by director Dammerman
- Tweet
- Share this
(Adds company declining comment, background, byline)
By Lilla Zuill
NEW YORK May 28 (Reuters) - A search for a successor to Edward Liddy, chairman and chief executive of AIG, is being led by board member Dennis Dammerman, according to a source familiar with developments.
The search, which is expected to take no more than a few months, is being undertaken after Liddy, picked by federal officials to run American International Group Inc (AIG.N) at the time of the insurer's bailout last September, said he wants to step down. He made the announcement last week.
Dammerman, a retired vice chairman and chief financial officer of General Electric Co (GE.N), was named to AIG's board last November, also picked by government officials.
He is one of several new directors appointed in recent months. The board is expected to have more new faces soon, with five other directors due to be elected at AIG's annual meeting next month, nominated by trustees of the government's stake of nearly 80 percent of AIG.
An AIG spokeswoman had no comment on Dammerman being appointed to lead the executive search.
Liddy, who took the job for a salary of $1, has recommended to the board that they find two candidates to succeed him, splitting the CEO and chairman roles.
In an interview with Reuters last week, Liddy said he expected the person picked as chairman to be someone familiar with the workings of government, while the CEO post should go to someone willing to commit up to five years to the job.
When Liddy was named AIG CEO last year he was the third person to hold the job in as many months, replacing Robert Willumstad, who succeeded Martin Sullivan in mid-June.
Liddy's eight-month reign at AIG has been marked by two upbraidings he received from lawmakers during Congressional hearings about the company's use of bailout funds, including bonuses paid to executives of a controversial financial products unit.
AIG is in the midst of a massive restructuring, as it tries to sell or spin off both domestic and international assets to raise enough money to pay back about $85 billion borrowed from taxpayers after large losses from derivatives written by AIG Financial Products.
