Obama to Bail Out Teachers
If the House votes this next Tuesday to affirm the bill put forward by the Obama administration and recently passed by the Senate, 26 billion dollars will flow to the states to save teachers and administrators. This is one of the best things Obama could have pushed and our City leaders need to work for the passage of this bill. It will not add to the deficit as it will close a business tax loophole and spending cuts. This will help San Francisco's schools as furlough days would be eliminated and teacher's positions would be restored.
Can you please elaborate on this, or perhaps link to the article that you read?: "It will not add to the deficit as it will close a business tax loophole and spending cuts"
Follow up
Hey Matt, here is the link to the article in the New York Times. Essentially, it says it will be paid for by spending cuts to other programs, and closing a business tax loophole, neither were identified:
Thanks for the response. I'd like to find some more info on the $10b "loophole" / tax increase that they refer to. Please let me know if you hear more about it!
Thanks to House for $26 Billion for schools and jobs
House passes $26 billion to help save teachers and jobs across the US. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/11/us/politics/11cong.html Carlos Garcia was quoted last week that hundreds of SF school teachers would be spared layoffs if the bill passed. While this is a great short term solution, we need better longer term funding to ensure proper funding for education. We need to have difficult conversations around revenue - Prop 13, vehicle license fee, gas tax, carbon tax and income tax.
Selling Taxes
Youre absolutely correct Phil. We have a revenue imbalance, but we also have crazy ideas like asking people to pay, what was reported today in the Examiner today, almost $1 extra per drink. We certainly have a problem with chronic inebriates, but the tax seems disproportionate. In times like these, people want to have a drink and enjoy themselves, but our leaders want to tax them an extra dollar - not popular at all. But if our classrooms are losing teachers, that's another story. How do you sell taxes to citizens in this economy? What is the message?

Out of the mouths of babes...
February 8, 2011 - Jennifer Brookens
Last year, we would've given anything to have our son try to talk instead of just screaming at us. Now he's become a little myna bird, repeating every phrase he hears incessantly. Not always a good thing.
He seems to take great delight in talking "down" to his sister, considering she feels the need to chime in when he's being punished. When she kept sneaking up from the dinner table to keep tabs on some TV show the other night, I ordered, "Sit down!" "Sit. DOWN! Sit. DOWN!" came my orderly little echo. Repeated about five times, until we say, "That's enough," and then he gets one more in for good measure before getting back to dinner.
After having a little friend over for the weekend, his favorite phrase was "C'mon! C'mon!" And catching the tail end of Mom or Dad talking, he might recite the last phrase he catches, like "Unn-REAL!"
Then, there is one of those words you don't WANT your kids to hear, and they latch on. It happened when my husband was playing Nintendo, and let out a small (thank goodness it was a small) curse. Sure enough, the Boy caught it, and repeated. We were silent. If we keep quiet and don't respond, will he forget it? A few night later, Dad was playing the same game, got blown up, and the Boy said the word, unprompted. Uh-oh. Now what? What if he lets that one go at Daycare or preschool, what kind of trouble will he see? Will we be called into question? It doesn't help that older sister giggles like crazy when it happens.
In any sense, it's obviously time for all of us to clean up our language. Perhaps I need to leave some soap dispensers by the Nintendo counsel, just in case.

The great Italian poet turns his hand to political thought and defends the reign of a single monarch ruling over a universal empire. He believed that peace was only achievable when a single monarch replaced divisive and squabbling princes and kings. However, he also believed in a separation of powers in that the Emperor has jurisdiction over temporal matters, whilst the Pope administered over things spiritual.

PITTSBURGH—The Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) will partner with other Pennsylvania community colleges and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PSSHE) to develop statewide agreements that will make it easier for students to transfer from associate's degree to bachelor's degree programs.
"These agreements, coupled with more than 80 specific articulation agreements that CCAC already has with neighboring four-year institutions, will provide great pathways for students who start their education at CCAC and are able to transfer as juniors," said Alex Johnson, CCAC president.
The initiative is a collaboration between the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges. Faculty members from PSSHE universities and some private four-year colleges will work with faculty members from community colleges to create articulation agreements.
Through these agreements, community college students enrolled in any associate's degree program will be able to graduate and seamlessly transfer into a parallel bachelor's degree program at a PSSHE university as juniors, receiving full credit for their associate's degree coursework.
Following the successful completion last year of agreements in math, early childhood education and psychology, a second series of 10 programs has been identified for the statewide articulation process.
CCAC faculty members will represent the state's 14 community colleges on Program Articulation Committees for education, chemistry, criminal justice and physical science. Each committee will include four community college faculty members and a transfer counselor. CCAC representatives include:
When the initiative is complete, approximately 70 programs will be included in the statewide articulation agreements.
About 44 percent of CCAC students enroll in programs intending to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree. CCAC students have successfully transferred to nearly 500 colleges and universities.
"While articulation agreements are not necessary for a successful transfer, they simplify the process and ensure that students receive maximum benefit from their classes taken at CCAC," said Mary Frances Archey, EdD, CCAC vice president for learning and student development. "Through articulation agreements, students save both time and the costs of paying for credits that are outside of their degree requirements as they progress from their associate's degrees to bachelor's degrees."
About CCAC
The Community College of Allegheny County is the largest institution of postsecondary higher education in Pennsylvania. The college serves 30,000 credit students through 170 degree and certificate programs and offers thousands of lifelong learning non-credit and workforce development courses to 35,000 students annually. Incorporating a learning-centered environment committed to the future of the region, CCAC continues to expand its reach through innovative programming and accessible instruction offered via convenient day, evening, weekend and online courses.

There's been a massive shakeup in Final Fantasy 14's core team. By massive shakeup, I mean the entire team has been let go and replaced with a team of all-star Square managers. This is crazy! Square has done a lot to apologize for the game's flaws and I also think they've done a lot to fix the problems and shortcomings with the game. Given that it's only been 2+ months since the game's release, I didn't realistically expect a perfect game out of the box. I was more than willing to give Square a good 4-6 months to fix things because I know how long it can take to fix or redo systems. Perhaps I'm alone in that regard and perhaps the numbers are pretty bad right now that drastic measures are needed. More »
Looks like Final Fantasy 14 has gotten some cool updates! From what I see, new weapons, monsters and NPCs have been added. Check out the gallery of updates below: More »
When I first started playing FFXIV, I thought there wasn't much strategy in adding points to your STR, DEX, VIT, etc. They seemed pretty straightforward to anyone that has played an RPG game. But according to an Ask the Dev article on Lodestone these stats affect your fighting classes, crafting classes, and land classes. Someone told me that they did but couldn't tell me exactly which stat affected what in which class. But the second question in the article clears everything up. So take a look. It might even be worth a bookmark. More »
Decapitation, while not always eye-pleasing, is quite an important method of killing monsters in Final Fantasy 14. Except that Square calls it incapacitation perhaps for a more politically correct effect. They could also be calling it incapacitation because not every monster loses its head. Sometimes a horn comes off, sometimes another appendage. Killing monsters in this method drops elite loot that would not otherwise drop. Though doing so is much harder in practice than in theory as I will show you in my part 2 segment of my tour with FFXIV GMs. Let us travel to my favorite dungeon in the game, Tam-Tara Deepcroft, so that I can show you in more gory detail. More »
Today, the good folks at Square Enix were kind enough to send me half a dozen GMs as my personal tour guide into the higher level parts of the game. Places where very few have gone and even fewer have made it back alive. That's a bit dramatic isn't it? Well, it doesn't matter because I had a blast! Even though a lot of people haven't reach a point where they can access the hard areas, Square wanted to show people that it does exist and it's quite fun. They'll be lowering the class requirements in their big Nov 24th update to help people get there faster. More »
I'm just thrilled to hear that they're balancing synthesis. The game is currently ruled by people who spend all day crafting. The fastest way to earn levels is crafting. The fastest way to make money is crafting. The people with the best weapons and armors are high level crafters. The problem I have with this is that crafting gets repetitive fast. I don't mind doing it once in awhile because I understand it's part of the game, but I don't like that it takes a ton of time away from fighting which is what I like the most. So let's get to the changes regarding crafting or synthesis - whatever you prefer. More »
If you only had time to read one Lodestone update, this would be the one to read. It's a complete list of all the major and minor changes that Final Fantasy 14 will make in coming months. It took me nearly two hours to process everything. In addition to a grid of all the changes, there's also some big announcements which they go into with quite some depth, the biggest of which is Companies - potentially a genius idea. Overall it sounds fantastic. Allow me to humbly break things down. More »
There's been a lot of updates in the past couple of weeks which is a good sign that the folks over at Square Enix are working hard to address/fix the issues with Final Fantasy 14. I would be remissed if I didn't break them down for you. Let's start with the most recent one and work our way back. More »
Christmas has arrived early — the official Final Fantasy 14 site has announced an extension of the free trial period to an additional 30 days! While the site outlines a few eligibility requirements, it seems like in a nutshell, anyone who's registered an account and purchased a character before Nov. 19 can enjoy the extra 30 days. More »
It's been over a month since I last logged into FFXIV and I haven't had much urge to play it. There's two main reasons for this. The game has quite a few things that needs to addressed - chaotic marketplace, inventory disorganization, hard to use user interface, over emphasis on crafting, mind-numbing need to run everywhere, and a handful of other things. Yes I lumped all those into one big "the game is broken and hard to play right now" reason even though they're technically lots of different reasons. The second main reason is that a lot of my linkshell mates have quit the game, especially the ones I get along with well. The ones that remain mostly get into arguments with one side complaining about the game and another side of blind fanatics vigorously defending the game. More »
I didn't get a chance to breakdown the Developers Q&A session last week until today but overall lots of good stuff. Personally, these changes can't come soon enough. Let's get to them: More »
You have to be level 23+ in a class to start level 30 levequests. I'm still far away but a handful of people have made it including a few in my linkshell. Here is a video of The Potter Prince leve that begins in Nanawa Mines, a dungeon in the far north area of the Ul'Dah region. All the monsters in here are level 30+ and hit a bit too hard for me to survive solo. Fortunately we had a big group curious to see what a level 30 levequest looks like. Besides the harder monsters, it's not that different from other levequests. Enjoy the video! More »
This past weekend, a few members of my linkshell spent their entire time crafting a dozen or so of these level 27 body armor, Bronze Haubergeon (Red). These "Haubys" as they're affectionally called comes in all colors, I just chose the red one was mentioned most to me. My linkshellies (love making up words) are selling them for about 75-85k. Considering the high price of shards and the degree of difficult and time in making these items I was curious to see if they're really worth it to make for money. Let's break down the cost shall we? More »
The more I play this game, the more I think of features that would be really nice in that would make my Final Fantasy XIV experiences more enjoyable. So I'm going to start a regular column called "Features Wish List" which will go into a bit of detail about the what and why of my ideas. The first item on my list (not necessarily in order of priority) is a mailbox system. I know few MMOs have them, especially in the early stages of development, but FFXIV could really use it with all the emphasis on crafting and with the extreme amount of walking that we do. It would be a major convenience if players had a post office to send materials, finished items, and gil back and forth without running or teleporting from city to city. More »
The other night, a group of linkshell members and I decided to explore the high level dungeon just south of Gridania and camp Bentbranch, Tam-Tara Deepcroft. It's an interesting zone full of high level monsters - I would guess 40-50s. That basically means everything can one-hit kill you. The zone looks like an underground dungeon going two levels deep and we were hoping to find some sort of cool treasure. Instead we found some scary monsters include Zombies and Devilets. It's not a place I would visit again for awhile, but it was cool to see. Enjoy the video! More »

Some who look at the world might think that most individuals only worry about themselves and to some extent this is true. There are, however, many who help others through community service. I am one of those.
I do pet therapy by taking my dog to a nursing home. I have been volunteering for two years, and I love it. Previously, I helped at an animal shelter, which I enjoyed but I had to stop when the animals became sick and only those over the age of 18 were allowed to help. I wanted to do something else involving animals, so I decided on pet therapy.
When I arrive at the nursing home everything changes. I no longer feel like I am going just to do something nice. I go because I want to, and it makes me feel good to be able to give back.
When I see how appreciative the residents are, it reminds me that I am doing what I am meant to do. It is amazing how great I feel doing something so small. I never want to stop because I have formed a strong bond with the residents. Volunteering makes me feel great; I hope it makes the residents feel great, too.

Review: Genius Illustrated: the Life and Art of Alex TothA comic review article by: Jason Sacks
It may only be February, but we already have a very strong candidate for the best archival comics work of the year.
Following on from its 2011 companion Genius Isolated, Genius Illustrated tells the story of the second half of the life and career of perhaps comics' greatest iconoclast and its strongest advocate for the "less is more" school of comics art. This book spans the later years of Alex Toth's life, from 1957 to his death in 2006, and thus presents the greatest artwork from the greatest period of the life of one of the most incomparable cartoonists of our time.
In this volume as in the first volume, co-writers and editors Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell tell the story of Alex Toth's life in fascinating detail while also presenting what seems like a nearly infinite number of classic Toth masterworks in this book. Anyone who enjoyed 2011's Genius Isolated, from the same writers and publishing house, knows the quality of material to expect from its sequel. Those readers will squeal with joy to see that this new book is the equal of its predecessor. Genius Illustrated is immaculate. The generosity of artistic material in this book knows no bounds, and the quality of the biographical material is absolutely unparalleled in comics scholarship.
Alex Toth was, simply put, a true genius of comics. His linework was always beguilingly simple on the surface but breathtakingly complex the more you studied it. It was full of verve and energy and an incredible amount of personality -- for better or worse, you could always see Toth's approach to his life and his work in most every line that he drew.
Toth's work always seemed effortless, almost magical in its simplicity and grace. While it's true that virtually no cartoonists could match Toth for his astonishing less-is-more approach to his work, it's also true that Toth was also a master storyteller, the type of comics artist whose composition made most every panel shine, most every page a clinic on storytelling, most every story a seemingly effortless soufflé of joy and energy and enthusiasm. Even his model sheets for animation studios like Hanna-Barbera are still studied today for their masterful grace and simplicity. Toth made everything he drew look so tantalizingly easy to draw, but of course the great creators in any field always do make their work look easy.
In this book, Canwell and Mullaney present excerpts from relatively well-known work like his "Eclipso" (reprinted in a Showcase Presesnts volume) and from his work for well-archived Warren magazines like Creepy, Eerie and Blazing Combat. But Mullaney and Canwell also revive material that is often so rare and obscure that even the most devoted Toth collector has likely never seen it before -- stories from old Twilight Zone comics and Dragtoons magazine and from old advertising storyboards. We even get sample sheets from Toth's animation period and a full, glorious, "Bravo for Adventure" story reprinted from the immaculate original art.
Best of all, every page of material in this book is presented in the best possible format, with incredibly crisp reproduction and the same eye for detail that these folks devote to all of their books. But if you've read Genius Isolated, you already know that this is an immaculate book.
Bruce Canwell's outstanding biography of Toth takes up roughly half of the book, interspersed with the artwork. Canwell's bio is obviously meticulously researched, with smart and pertinent quotes and anecdotes from Toth's friends and family that illuminate the life of this often most complex and difficult man. Canwell clearly earned the trust of most everyone he spoke to, because he presents Toth's life, warts and all, in a way that betrays a casual, insider's intimacy with the life of the man he's profiling.
Bruce's writing in Genius Isolated is crisp, fascinating, insightful and extremely detailed. Canwell's text does an outstanding job of presenting Toth's artwork in real context, reflecting on the artist's complex life in a way that allows us to better understand his sometimes puzzling eccentricities and complexities. We see Toth veer and change throughout this book; often unpredictably, sometimes without a moment's notice. He would frequently cut off friends for arbitrary reasons, treat family badly, and never appreciate his children as well as they wanted. Alex Toth wasn't a bad man at all. He was just a complex man, in a way that belied the magnificent simplicity of his artwork. I'm sure I'm not the first commentator to contrast the master cartoonist's elegantly clean art style with his surprisingly complex personal life.
This is true throughout the book, but it's most obviously true in the latter sections of Genius Illustrated, when Canwell discusses Toth's very difficult final years. I had always heard that after his wife Guyla died, Alex lost a lot of his lust for life. He had long suffered from depression, and without his true love, the great cartoonist isolated himself from his friends and family. Toth closed himself up in a filth-ridden house at the top of a long staircase in Southern California, choosing only to speak to the people who he wanted to speak to and only doing the things he wanted to do.
Toth would send letters to fans and friends like epistles from a mountaintop -- sometimes lecturing, sometimes reminiscing, always charming in their own way. One absolutely precious letter reproduced in this book, from Toth to his devoted admirer the cartoonist Ken Steacy, is filled with so much practical advice that it could be used to teach a master class on cartooning.
A less empathetic biographer might paint Toth as just an eccentric old man, living in the hills around LA in a quiet, dark house and isolating himself from everyone who he believed had slighted him. But in this book Canwell does just the opposite of that: he uses this era of Toth's life to humanize the master artist, to show how desperately Toth missed his beloved wife Guyla after she passed away in 1985.
Guyla was the only one of Toth's four wives who seemed to have the ability to make Alex completely happy and ground him in the world; without Guyla, Canwell argues persuasively, Alex felt thoroughly lost, without a welcoming place in the world. His lingering depression flared up horribly during this time period, when he felt isolated and alone in the world. These passages unfortunately reminded me quite a bit of my mom's final months after my dad passed away, when she was content to live in her very quiet apartment without ever talking to anybody. She isolated herself from me and my sister and seemed happy to live alone with her dog and her memories of better days. This section of the book really helped me to empathize quite a bit with both my mother and with the obvious turmoil that Alex Toth was feeling during that time. And I could most certainly relate to the feelings of powerlessness that Toth's children felt in that era.
Without his beloved ray of sunshine, darkness descended into Alex's life and he literally felt he had to cut himself off from the world in her absence. Canwell does a masterful job of placing the reader inside Toth's head as the artist battles his own personal demons without those thoughts feeling like an intrusion or like unwarranted gossip.
As well Canwell also places us inside that too quiet, too dark house that Toth inhabited. With Canwell's highly descriptive biographical sketches, it's easy to feel like a fly on the wall inside that darkened living room with Alex Toth, seeing the pain and frustration and lack of rootedness in every line on the cartoonist's face.
But I make this book sound like a downer, and it most certainly isn't a depressing book at all. No, this book is a celebration of the life and career of one of our greatest cartoonists. All you need to do is stare at one page of the man's artwork to be filled with wonder and joy.
Under the hands of Bruce Canwell and Dean Mullaney, Genius Illustrated sets the absolute gold standard for deluxe artist biographies. There have been some wonderful comics history books released in the last few years, but this book surpasses them all in terms of its production values, its comprehensiveness and the quality of the biographical information presented. Alex Toth was one of the greatest artists ever to work in the comic art medium. This book merits the highest possible compliment: it's a worthy tribute to Toth.

A local industry needs statewide support Tuesday for a land swap that will help affirm its competitiveness for years to come. We urge voters to say "yes" to Proposition 5.
NYCO is a long-time employer based in Willsboro and one of the world's leading suppliers of the mineral wollastonite. But company officials estimate that its mine in the Town of Lewis has only about two years' worth of wollastonite remaining.
Proposition 5 would allow NYCO to take over 200 acres of nearby state land to expand its mining operation. People who care about the environment needn't fear for the impact because, in exchange, NYCO will give the state 1,500 acres to be added to the Forest Preserve. Beyond that, when NYCO is done mining the expanded site, it will restore the land and turn it back to the state.
No one loses with this land swap. NYCO estimates the new site will extend the life of its Adirondack operation — and the much-needed 100-plus jobs it provides — by eight to 10 years.
The proposition has support from business and government leaders and most environmental groups. The Adirondack Council, which supports the exchange, notes the 200 acres being given up "show no significant biological, environmental, wildlife or recreational resources" while the 1,500 acres gained "contain important wildlife habitat, more than three miles of stream, sensitive fisheries and recreational resources."
A few critics have suggested the expansion is unnecessary because NYCO has the option of moving its operations to the Oak Hill mine, also in Lewis. But company officials say that site "poses serious competitive challenges."
Why? NYCO explains it this way: "The mineral on that (Oak Hill) property is buried under much greater amounts of overburden (sand and gravel) and other types of rock and would require far greater expense to retrieve. Because of these increased costs, moving to Oak Hill in the near future would make it very difficult to compete for business with NYCO's primary competitors in China and India, would put NYCO at great risk of losing customers and would put employees' jobs at risk as a result."

Are you worried that a projector will eat up your energy budget? No? Neither are we. But just in case, Runco has come up with a new "lampless" LED projector that uses about 70 percent less power than a traditional DLP projector.
But energy savings isn't the only reason to be excited about the new Runco QuantumColor Q-650i. In fact it's not even near the top of the list. This unit incorporates several of Runco's proprietary picture features, including SmartColor, ColorContrast, Q-lumens, and InstantOn.
One thing to note, this is not a projector designed for a very large screen theater. Runco recommends it for screen
sizes 50- to 65-inches ( Update: Runco has corrected that to 72-92) with a maximum of 82 108. So if your mind if set on a 100-inch or larger screen, then you should check out the Q-1500d instead. Update: Runco now reports that the maximum screen size is 108-inches.

Fire Roasted Chilies with Cream Cheese
Eddie Deen's Fire Roasted Chilies with Cream Cheese is a menu favorite and easy to prepare. The Applewood bacon gives this appetizer a unique texture and flavor.
6 jalapenos, halved and de-seeded
12 strips Applewood Smoked Bacon
1 1/2 cream cheese
12 toothpicks
You can roast chilies under medium heat on the broiler, on a very hot grill, or simply deep fry them. The idea behind roasting is to lightly burn the peel, but not the meat of the pepper to bring out the wonderful flavors.
Fill the halved jalapenos with the cream cheese and wrap with the bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
Fry in a deep fryer for 2-3 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
