A traditional Chicago parade that was once put on hold after complaints of unruly attendees and drinking is set to kick off Sunday
The South Side Irish Parade returned last year after a 2-year hiatus. Parade officials added more security and checkpoints and there were no reports of problems during the scaled-back event. In years past crowds of 100,000 have attended.
The parade has been around Chicago since 1979.
Sunday's event starts at noon on the city's far South Side. Several high school sports teams will participate and parade goers will also honor first responders, police and fire.

PEORIA, Ill -- A couple of annual holiday events that support Crittenton Centers kicked off Friday.
Expo Gardens in Peoria has been turned into a winter wonderland, hosting the 4th annual Festival of Trees. The event continues through Sunday.
Visitors can bid on 57 uniquely decorated trees, 30 centerpieces and a dozen wreaths through a silent auction. There's also food and entertainment.
All of the proceeds benefit Crittenton Centers.
"This event brings in, we're hoping this year, around 38 or 40 thousand dollars to Crittenton," said Tina Vandermyde, co-chair of the Festival of Trees. "We are self-supporting with help from the state of Illinois so we know that the funds brought in from this are used immediately."
Admission to the Festival of Trees is $5 for adults, $3 for children and seniors and kids two and under are free.
Meanwhile, Crittenton Centers' two Stocking Stuffer Stores open Saturday, located at Northwoods Mall and the Shoppes at Grand Prairie.
However, the store at Northwoods Mall got some early visitors today.
First Federated Church sponsored 38 children who went shopping for gifts. Each child received $25 and used it to fill out their list.
"What that is allowing is for these children to come in and purchase items for their parents from merchandise that's from $1 to $8," said Jennifer Simmons of the Crittenton Centers. "They're getting a lot of great stuff for very little money so we're thrilled that this is happening today."
The Stocking Stuffer Stores are open through December 19. Last year they raised over $30,000 for Crittenton Centers.

A crazy-accurate Darth Vader costume replica from Anovos will take your wallet to the Dark Side, but you'll look like you just stepped out of a "Star Wars" movie.
Due in 2015, Skully's motorcycle helmet, with a built-in virtual-reality display, won't come cheap. But it may save your life.
A British brain surgeon says cycle helmets are too flimsy and can actually create more danger by creating the illusion of greater safety.
What happens when artists get their hands on "Star Wars" Stormtrooper helmets? You get a geektastic terrarium, a fire hydrant, a winged hat, tribal headwear, and much more.
There were plenty of awesome electronic instruments played at Moogfest this year. From a calculator to an old Atari console, check out these creative entries in the festival's annual circuit-bending contest.
For the last part of winter, Crave's Eric Mack went "head-on" with a UClear Bluetooth headset system to turn his ski helmet into a mobile command center on the mountain.
The Darth Vader toaster gets a significant upgrade with a helmet shape that sucks in your bread and returns it a little more evil than when it started.
The Skully motorcycle helmet features a heads-up display and a rear-facing camera that let riders view their surroundings like never before. CNET's Sumi Das talks with CNET senior writer Seth Rosenblatt about what it was like to take a joy ride with the high-tech helmet.
The Skully P1 motorcycle helmet's heads-up display and integrated tech is far from ready, but it holds the promise to revolutionize both biker lids and consumer-grade heads-up displays.
Trying to improve motorcycle safety by keeping riders' eyes on the road, Skully has developed a helmet that offers a Google Glass-like heads-up display. CNET's Sumi Das speaks with Skully founder Marcus Weller about the helmet's design while CNET's Seth Rosenblatt takes the helmet for a spin.

Ever since the vote on Question 1, there has been a steady stream of complaints against the Catholic Church, and especially Bishop Richard Malone, about how Catholics oppose gay marriage.
The Catholic Church does not strive to win popularity contests. It has a mission, mandated by Jesus Christ, to lead people to salvation. Bishop Malone was not merely taking a personal stand on the gay marriage issue; he was doing what was required of him by God.
Many people voted no on Question 1 because of self-interest. Many Catholics and other Christians voted yes for the same reason. The Bible, which was assembled by the Catholic Church and is thus a basis for Catholic belief, states in many verses that people will be judged according to their actions. If Catholics commit the serious sin of voting in favor of a measure which approves of serious sin, then I believe they will be held accountable for that action by Jesus Christ when they die. I, and I'm sure Bishop Malone, also, would not want to be in that indefensible position when it comes to determining the eternal destinations of my soul.
I realize, from reading many blogs, that many pro-gay people do not have much concern about where their souls will spend eternity. That does not lessen the importance of the situation to those of us who are concerned.
Before people demonize Catholics for opposing gay marriage, please first walk a mile in our shoes.
Mike Martin, Farmington

The Utah Jazz, clinging to their playoff lives, host the New York Knicks Monday night, the same Knicks team that handed the Jazz one of their worst losses of the season just nine days ago in Madison Square Garden. The Jazz are also coming off one of their best wins of the season, a 90-84 win over the Memphis Grizzlies Saturday night.
Utah is currently one game behind the Los Angeles Lakers for eighth place in the Western Conference and looking to win consecutive games for the first time in a month. The Jazz's schedule only get tougher the rest of the week. This is there final home game before heading out on the road to play the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks.
One bright spot for the Jazz has been the improved play of Gordon Hayward. Since the All-Star break, Hayward is averaging 16.4 points per game and shooting 42 percent from three. His rebound and assist number are also up and head coach Tyrone Corbin has moved him back in to the starting line up.
Knicks looking to end four game losing streak
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks haven't won a game on their current five game road trip, their most recent loss coming at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday afternoon. The Knicks have played 2 1/2 of those games without Carmelo Anthony, who went back to New York to have his knee drained after the Nuggets game. Anthony has since returned to the team, but his status for the Utah game is still up in the air. The Knicks are currently in first place in the Atlantic Division and third in the Eastern Conference, one game ahead of the Brooklyn Nets.
Matchup of the game
The key to the game will be how the Knicks handle the Jazz's big men. If Anthony doesn't play, that means Tyson Chandler will have to spend time defending Paul Milsap in addition to his normal assignment, Al Jefferson. Jefferson, recovering from an ankle injury, did play in the two team's previous game, scoring just seven points.
Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
Odds: The Jazz opened as 10 point favorites.

From his speech today at the Brookings Institution, "Saving the Soul of the Planet": ... in addition to our international ecological symposia, the Orthodox Church has decided to establish a center for environment and peace. Hitherto, the Ecumenical Patriarchate has endeavored to raise regional and global awareness on the urgency of preserving the natural environment and promoting inter-religious dialogue and understanding. Henceforth, the emphasis will be educational – on the regional and international levels. The Center for Environment and Peace is planned to be housed in a historical orphanage, on Büyükada, one of the Princess Islands near Istanbul. The building was once the largest and most beautiful wooden edifice in Europe, and it will embody a new direction in the initiatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Whereas the orphanage was at one time forcibly closed by Turkish authorities in an act of religious intolerance, it is highly expected to be returned to the … [Read more...]

PARIS (AP) -- French leader Lyon missed the chance to pressure Paris Saint-Germain when it drew 0-0 at home to Evian on Friday.
PSG is in second place and trails Lyon by three points, but can reclaim the lead on goal difference if it wins away to fourth-place Bordeaux on Sunday.
Midfielder Yoann Gourcuff volleyed wide near the end of the first half and forward Alexandre Lacazette shot wide after going clean through in the 61st minute as Lyon failed to make the most of its territorial dominance.
The draw moved Evian two places out of the relegation zone ahead of this weekend's matches.
Marseille, which is four points behind Lyon, hosts defending champion Montpellier on Saturday.

Kingswinford teacher to retire after 33 years
Updated 4:12pm Tuesday 15th July 2014 in News
A TEACHER who has spent decades educating youngsters in Kingswinford will retire this summer.
Mike Davies will bring and end to his 33 year tenure and say a fond farewell to The Kingswinford School, where he is the director of ICT.
He first joined the Water Street school in 1982, teaching physics and science but has held his current position for nearly 20 years.
The father-of-two said: "It has been a superb school to teach in and I have enjoyed every minute.
"I will really miss the school but the time has come to spend more time with my family and doing all the other things I have always wanted to do."
Mr Davies plans to spend his retirement travelling, restoring old cars, sailing and walking his dog.
Headteacher, Bronwyn Hedley, added: "Mr Davies is a talented teacher and outstanding leader of ICT developments here at the school.
"We will miss his expertise greatly and his sense of humour, commitment and loyalty. He is indeed a legend here and a very inspirational teacher."

Edge of Thorns 4 - Pt 25Part 25I don't have time for this...As much as he wanted to figure out who that woman was, an excited, triumphant cry from Scott as he got the door open was much more enticing, and with barely another glance back at Gabriel and Moloch in the street, he hurriedly followed his coworker inside. As soon as they were in the shop, Scott immediately locked the door behind them, the deadbolt too, for good measure."Thank God," the reporter sighed with relief, but Nathan shook his head."Let's not just yet; we should get back up to the apartment, check on everyone else."The writer didn't need to elaborate, Scott's elation at getting indoors quickly fading. Neither of them wanted to think that they weren't safe inside, but worse was thinking about Avery and Lidia still asleep upstairs, completely unaware of the danger if it could somehow get in. They said nothing else as they both rushed for the stairs, dashing to the apartment above.Alton had left his apartment door unlocked,
Edge of Thorns 4 - Pt 24Part 24I need to get Scott away from her and we need to get out of here!Nathan knew there was no time to waste and no way he could help Alton now. He had to get back inside with Scott -- if only he had listened and left when the angel had told them to -- and they had to get away soon. Scrambling away from whatever it was Alton had become, he did the only thing he could think of to distract Gula. Shoving the paper and the keys into his pockets, he quickly scooped up a handful of snow, packed it down tightly and hurled the resulting ball into the Sin's head. "Get off of him!"The snowball hit hard against her ear, enough for her to growl and loosen her hold but not enough to make her release. It did, however, provide Scott with an opening to break free. He jammed his elbow into Gula's stomach, but then (to Nathan's surprise) turned and grabbed her, flipping her over his shoulder and into the snow, sending up a burst of flurries when she made contact. The two men br
Edge of Thorns 4 - Pt 22Part 22I think we should investigate, but I don't think it's safe for either of us to go out there alone...Nathan nodded as he rose from his seat and ran his fingers anxiously through his hair. "I won't be able to sleep no matter what I do, but I especially won't be able to if I don't check this out." He turned to his coworker with a rueful smirk. "But I also think you're right about one thing: we should tell Alton. If it ends up being nothing, great. If it is something...""Better safe than sorry," Scott agreed, stretching and yawning one more time. "You wake him up; I'll get our coats."The two nodded at each other, then crept quietly to their tasks (Avery was still asleep on the couch, after all). Nathan hoped that Alton wouldn't be upset about being woken up at this hour, but just as he reached to tap on his door, the door next to him -- to Lidia's room -- creaked slowly open. With his nerves already on edge, the writer jumped, but breathed a sigh of relief w

Btt x shy!reader : new girl 1I do not own hetalia or you~Enjoy~(Name) POVI stood looking at myself if a full body mirror. I was wearing black shorts, a (f/c) tank top and a grey cardigan. I had just put the finishing touches my small amount of makeup. I looked at myself sadly in the mirror.I was to attend hetalia academy this year and needless to say...I was terrified. I was not much of a person to defend myself or reach out to talk to people. My two best friends had moved away and now I had...nobody. After they had left I became very depressed...and started cutting to ease the pain and my mind. The last thing I wanted was for someone at this new school to see my cuts and hate me. "(Name)! Are you ready to go?" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. The academy was holding a picnic barbecue type thing before school actually started the next day. "Y-yes!" I shouted back before slipping on my (f/c) vans and running to get into the car.The school was not far away from my house and we got there quickly. I glanced a
Attack on Titan x Reader - I'm in the Band (Ch. 3)Chapter Three: Old HabitsI was mercilessly awoken the next morning by the ringing of my cell phone. I groaned when I remembered that I had set my alarm, but became a bit confused when I realized that it was my ringtone that was playing. I slid over to the edge of the lofted bed and reached for the device sitting on my makeshift nightstand. Turning on my lamp, I answered the call, not even bothering to see who it was. "Hello?""Good morning, Sleeping Beauty!" a familiar voice chirped through the speaker.I let out a loud sigh. "How did you get my number?" I slurred."Armin gave it to me," Marco replied. "He helped with band registration, and you filled out this number on your form."I rubbed my eyes, lifting my head and propping it up on my hand. "Lovely. I hope you're not gonna make a habit of this."He chuckled. "Well, you said you weren't a morning person, so I just wanted to help you out.

You weren't sure, but you thought you developed feeling for Hoodie. He was just too cute and adorable.You carefully sat up, not wanting to wake Hoodie, but apparently, not careful enough. Hoodie felt you moving and opened his eyes. "(Y-YN)?"He asked in a still sleepy voice. "sorry, Hoodie. Didn't mean to wake you." Hoodie chuckled."You're an e-early riser, aren't y-you? None of t-the others will even be awake." Hoodie said. You looked to the clock. 6:24 AM. Wow that's early. Hoodie wrapped an arm around you and gently pushed back down and hugged you close. You blushed. Soon his grip loosed and you assumed he went back to sleep as did you.(Le time skip~)"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" You heard yelling as you jolted awake. The sudden jolt awoke Hoodie as well. "GET BACK HERE YOU MASKED FREAK!" Hoodie also heard the yelling. "

"Can't wait to sit down and enjoy the sights and food."

Hermione's friend, 1Criselda stared at the hat for what seemed like a lifetime. It had every colour of the rainbow and more and it had the shape of a tornado, which grew wider with every inch it went up. By all the rules of logic and even those of magic, that hat should not be able to exist or stand straight on top of a head like it was doing at the moment. Yet, somehow it did. Already, a little berd was using it as a nest, but the blonde girl who was wearing it didn´t seem to know, or mind it at all. She kept staring at the forest with those big blue eyes and that lost smile of hers. Criselda smiled a little. No matter how much she tried, she would never be able to make sense of Luna. At least, the blue shirt and grey pants she was wearing on the rest of her body made more sense.Criselda herself was, like always, wearing her long, dark-raven hair long and well-dressed, like a waterfall of thing night strands.

What he doesn't know won't hurt me...Nathan shook his head, not releasing Avery's hand until the teen lowered his head in defeat, making it clear that -- as much as he may have wanted to -- he wasn't going to open the door. With a sigh, he pressed his ear back against the door. Nathan rubbed the back of his head, moving next to Avery to join him. He could at least make that compromise."So what are you calling yourself these days, Lu?" The question came from the other voice, which Nathan just knew he'd heard before. "Something clever, no doubt."The shopkeeper chuckled. "I don't think so. The name is Alton. Alton Sterling, and you have my adoptive father to praise for that.

Jam Thumbprints
Makes 42| Total Time:
- Roll the basic sugar cookie dough into tablespoon-size balls and place on baking sheets (do not substitute slice-and-bake dough).
- Make a well in each ball with your thumb. Fill the wells with a total of 1⁄3 cup apricot jam or raspberry jam.
- Bake at 350° F on parchment-lined baking sheets until just beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Quick Tip
For uniform, perfectly round drop cookies, spoon out the dough with a small ice cream scoop.
Did you try this recipe? How did you like it?
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They're almost always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.

Facebook IPO: The good and the bad
Facebook went public and the people who got in at the initial price of $38 made a little money, but the stock is hardly exploding in the way that suggests social-networking is the next stock market darling. In fact, right after Facebook started selling, Zynga (which gets the vast majority of its revenue from Facebook) collapsed so quickly that trading was halted.
Still, about 1,000 Facebook employees are a lot richer today, and Mark Zuckerberg will join the likes of Bill Gates and Larry Ellison atop the Forbes 400 leaderboard. The state of California gets a nice bump, too -- according to some accounts, the state will eventually pick up close to $1 billion in tax revenue when the Facebook Fuckinzillionaires exercize their options and start selling their stock.
But for all the rest of us? Sure, increased consumer spending will help the local economy (dealers in luxury cars are drooling in their cheap coffee). But if that's not your line of work, you may not be so lucky.
The biggest factor in lifestyle and economic security in San Francisco is the cost of housing -- and that's going the wrong way. The Chron estimates that the total increase in the housing market will approach $1 billion, which doesn't seem all the much spread around the Bay Area, but it will be concentrated in a few popular places, and the east side of San Francisco, particularly Noe Valley, the Mission and surrounding nabes, will be part of ground zero.
Meaning if you are looking to rent or buy a place in this city, you just lost a bunch of money. That is, you will now have to pay more for your housing, which will be a net benefit to landlords and sellers.
And it's not necessarily such good news for small business and other startups:
The winners are of course the 1,000 or so Facebook employees who will cash-in, however the losers will be the rest of Silicon Valley for the following reasons. Housing prices will rise across the whole Bay Area. For local businesses and start-ups, recruiting due to difficulty moving to this area because of those rising prices
Go at it, trolls. Tell me I'm utterly wrong. Because it seems like those non-radical types at the Chron and Trulia seem to agree with me that there's a downside here, too.
But none of that matters if your main rationale is hating those who succeed.
Oh, and rents won't go up because we have, er, rent control.
Car salesmen drink cheap coffee? What is your basis for that throwaway line? Why not try serious journalism rather than nasty snide stereotypes?
My friend, you don't understand SF tenant law. Rent control only applies when a tenant remains in an apartment -- and every building constructed after 1979 is exempt. Rents soar at times like this -- when you are looking for an apartment you're seeking a place that is by definition empty, so it can be rented at "market value." I said that for people SEEKING an apartment or wanting to buy a house, this is not such a great thing.
For lower-income people -- for whom housing cost is the number one issue in San Francisco -- these tech booms tend to be a net negative. They don't see the spillover money and they get hammered on housing costs.
That's a fact, and has nothing to do with my feelings about rich people, which have been amply debated here.
Oh, and I've been to a few car dealers in the past two years. The coffee was awful.
are presumably outsiders coming here, probably for those well-paying IT jobs, and so can afford the higher rents anyway.
The low-income, long-time residents of the city are happily ensconced in their rent-controlled lifetime leases, protected from eviction without just cause, and they can laugh at wholesale rent increases.
While those new FaceBook millionaires will be buying homes that low-income folks wouldn't be competing for anyway. And luckily, it looks like projects like 8-Wash will absorb the demand without those rich people chasing down cheap flats in the Mission.
So if approval of 8-Wash cancels out the excess demand of the FaceBook IPO, isn't it a wash?
This comment overlooks the obvious - life circumstances change...a rent-controlled apartment for one or even two can be easily outgrown. What looked like awesome living in your 20s can become a serious nuisance in your 30s as you're looking to spread your wings and grow a bit. Not to mention that rental living is commonly in flux in SF and property managers are going to put the squeeze on residents who are outstaying their welcome and paying super-low rent...no need to provide them with the same timeliness as those paying 2x-3x more. Property managers can make it very uncomfortable for long-term tenants to try to stay on.
Anyway there are long-term residents who are being ousted. I know some who have thrown in the towel and moved, whether it's to Oakland or beyond.
And they have done this even though they really didn't want to. So the question you have to ask yourself is whether Rc is working at all when it causes people to behave so irrationally.
And not just tenants either. Landlrods jump thru hoops to get rid of tenants and tenants jump thru hoops to cling to an unsuitable home. what kind of policy lunacy is this?
Instead, abolish RC to encourage new build of rentals. And relax zoning ruels so we can build high-rise - the only way any congested city can deal with a housing shortage.

"...the only people looking for new rentals are presumably outsiders coming here
"Presumably" is the key word here and indicates Guest's faulty thinking.
to offer some evidence for that. You did not. Merely gainsaying me is not refutational.
Most people with rent control don't move. Indeed, it is precisely that which is what landlrods hate about rent control. in my experience, landlords can live with the rent limits - they just can't deal with the lifetime sentence.
People get evicted all the time in SF as apartments are turned into TICs. Those people, often longtime residents, are suddenly looking for a new rental. And the price they have to pay goes up massively.
Not everyone who moves to SF is taking a high-paid tech job. There are lots of other jobs in this city -- for example, in tourism, the city's leading economic driver -- that pay barely enough for a tiny apartment.
If you doubt the facebook impact on housing, consider this:
"San Francisco is the only California city that requires employers to pay a 1.5% tax on gross earnings of all employees (yes, it blows). Obviously payroll tax would be quite prohibitive . . "
How do you come up with the idea that tourism is The City's number one economic driver? I think it employs more people than any other industry but produces mostly lower paying jobs, so there are other sectors that produce more economic activity.
I could be wrong here, BLS is not very much use and I don't know what other source to use. Where are you pulling your data from Tim?
"...probably for those well-paying IT jobs, and so can afford the higher rents anyway."
Very sound arguments, Guest.
I'll take that as an indicator that you have no valid counter-argument.
your argument contains no facts and is, in itself ,conjecture; full of assertions andunsubstantiated claims.
Demonstrate to me how your claims are vaild, then I will make a counter-argument.
You can either refute it or ignore it. But gainsaying it is vacuous.
even if they are what you think to be "obvious" is not only vacuous, it is sophistic.
on a great rent-controlled deal so that they can pay far more in rent, I doubt that I or anyone else can dissuade you from that odd notion.
I only wanted you to provide proof, other then what you think is "obvious", to back up your claim that most people in rent controlled apartments don't move.
move unless either the landlord can winkle him out or the tenant wins the lottery, and maybe not even then.
If you don't know that tenants cling to rent-controlled units until they, in some cases, die there, then you don't live in this city.
19 years.
validate your assertions?
People move for a million reasons. Maybe they got a new job somewhere else. Maybe they had a falling out with their roommate. Maybe they hooked up with someone and decided to move in with them. Maybe they wanted to start a family. Maybe they just wanted a bigger place. Maybe they wanted a different neighborhood. Maybe they started making more money and could afford a better place now. Etc Etc Etc
Few people have lives that are so stagnant that they never have to move. That's why I've always said that rent control needs to be extended to vacant units to really have teeth.
But I've met too many people aged 40 plus who sadly and pathetically cling to their grim apartment that you moved into 20 years earlier to believe that you made-up maybe's are anything more than a small minority.
Rent control impedes mobility.
Higher rents are a sign of prosperity. If you want cheap housing, move to Detroit.
I don't know too many people at all who live in the same *apartment* they lived in 20 years ago. The dead troll Arthur Evans did (all the while detesting progressives who made it possible, natch). But he was a rare case. Before I moved out of my 16 unit building, only 1 of the 16 was occupied by someone who lived there 20 years.
I *do* know a lot of people who still live in the same *house* they bought 20 years ago -not because they wouldn't like to move, but because they don't want to pay their fair share of taxes. As a result, you get these wide disparities in taxes in the same neighborhoods, prices skyrocket because there's less inventory, and it's getting harder and harder for first time buyers to break into the California housing market. You want to know what impedes mobility? Prop 13 impedes mobility!
Since it's much more likely that people will unnecessarily hold on to their houses than their apartments, and since owners are usually wealthier than renters, it makes more sense to me to get rid of Prop 13 and strengthen rent control. But like a lot of things, we do it ass backwards.
And the same people who whine about how rent control "impedes mobility" will be the ones who staunchly defend Prop 13.
I know of 6 separate apartments with tenants who have lived there for 20 years or more. That's just on my block in the Mission.
I'm not sure what this has to do with the Facebook IPO, but I thought you'd be interested.
took an opportunistic buyout. Anyone who lives in SF knows that many RC tenants cling to their deal where in any other city, they would move on and up. It's sclerotic.
On what you "presume" or is "probable" to you. You are not stating facts, just assertions and unsubstantiated claims. (Such as "most people with rent control don't move".) Therefore, there is no reason to consider your argument as it is not based on any reasoning or evidence. That's what I mean by faulty thinking. Why should anyone give a counter-argument to assertions and unsubstantiated claims ?
Then you go on to assert that people with money should pay whatever the rental market demands. Am I to gather that you believe that wealthier people should be exploited by landlords?
Are you, or will you always be, be in a postion to pay wants the market (and landlords) demand?
Tim Redmond cited no sources, other than some second-hand quotes from a real estate website and the Chron, which themselves are not based on any empirical evidence. And, he brashly concluded his unsubstantiated piece with the challenge, "Go at it, trolls. Tell me I'm utterly wrong." So, it seems you would have a field day with this editorial, but you seem fixated on making the argument that everyone else should ignore Guest's comments because they are just "assertions and unsubstantiated claims."
Well, by your own logic, Mr. Redmond's entire editorial is nothing more than "assertions and unsubstantiated claims," and just a bunch of "faulty thinking," which doesn't warrant a counter-argument. So, it is a giant waste of time for anyone to comment on it, and even a greater waste of time for you to get into an argument with Guest about the validity of his comments on the editorial.
So, why don't you both take a break from your Mom's basement, and get outside in the fresh air? And, if you have so much free time, then pick one or two of the thousands of non-profits in the Bay Area that would love for you to lend a hand through volunteering. I am sure there must be more important things in life to do than arguing over an unsubstantiated comments on an unsubstantiated editorial.
I'm offering the ratehr obvious opinion that you have little choice but to pay the cost of something you need. That's not explitation - it's reality.
But yes, most people with good rent control deals do not move. Why would you? and if rents are going up, as Tim claims, then that trend would surely be more emphatic.
No one is arguing that. *You* as an individual may have little choice but to put up with it or move, but *We* as a society do have a choice. That's a reality that you ignore.
When it's clear that some people exploit the rest of us, charging much more for something than is necessary to merely recoup their investment or make a profit, simply because they can, that kind of behavior can and should be controlled. That kind of behavior tears apart the social fabric for the narrow interests of a few, and in a democracy we have not only a right, but a duty, to stop it.
price they can get? Did Bruce exploit the buyers of the SFBG building?
And is it "exploitation" when in a bad RE market, a tenant makes a lowball offer?
If there were no laws to prevent it, we'd be back to child labor, 72-hour workweeks, and worse. And when certain things are scarse, there will always be people willing to profiteer. The question is, how much abuse are you willing to allow? I think we can, and should, limit predatory and sociopathic behavior.
As for tenants taking advantage of landlords, if that becomes a huge problem, maybe we should work on that as well. So far, though, I don't see it. Most of the abuse goes the other way. And the law adequately takes care of the few exceptions in most cases. There's too much in the law already to protect the strong from the weak, and not enough of the other way around.
Is seeking the best price "explitation"?
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't.
When I'm shopping for CDs on Amazon, I seek the best price. When someone hoards grain during a famine and sells it for outrageous prices while people die, that person is just seeking the best price too.
With the exception of a few demagogues and scoundrels, most people can see the difference between the two. That's why we're given brains. The first scenario is generally considered a normal part of life. When the second is encountered, the natural reaction of normal people is to hang the perpetrator from the nearest tree.
Most cases of "looking for the best price" fall somewhere in between, and the reactions should be somewhere in between. Only a demagogue would demand rigid, hard and fast rules. But I think a good rule of thumb is that the amount of government intervention to regulate price gouging should be proportional to A) how scarce the commodity is, and B)how necessary it is.
Price gouging shelter in an atmosphere of severe scarcity... I don't think that rises to the level of hanging landlords from the nearest tree, but I do think the case for strong government regulation can be made.
As a LL, I want the best rent
When Bruce sells the SFBg building, he wants the ebst price
When you sell your CD's at amoeba, you want the best price.
It's all the same and, insofar as you see two different cases, that merely reflects your ideology.
You believe that your right to "find the best price" trumps all else, and gives you the right to wreak havoc on other people's lives and cause human misery; I believe that's the law of the jungle. It isn't every case where capitalism results in suffering and misery, but in those cases where it clearly does, I believe the government has a right and a duty to step in and prevent that misery.
Yes, you and I have different "ideologies." Mine is the ideology of a human being. Yours is the ideology of a reptile.
That seems harsh.
But then, I sold some CD's last week for the best price I could get for them, so I must be a reptile too.
There you go again. You bring it back to the most innocuous scenario -selling CDs. And from that, your ideology extrapolates that every example of "seeking out the best price" is morally "the same" as you put it -selling CDs to Amoeba... charging outrageous rents far beyond what you need to survive, just because you can... hoarding food in times of famine and selling it for outrageous amounts to only those who can pay, while others starve. It's all the same to you.
No. It's. Not.
All actions are must be evaluated in context. Depending on the context of what your actions do to other human beings, the same kinds of actions can range from innocuous to severely morally reprehensible. Taking advantage of other people's misery by gouging the price of necessary commodities (not CD's, probably not office buildings either... but food, yes, and ordinary residential housing, yes) -that is morally reprehensible. And under a truly democratic government, it would be actionable.
I'm not sure if you're just engaging in demogoguery here, or you're just incredibly dense, or your moral compass is just so far off kilter having grown up on the morally depraved diet of capitalism that you truly can't see the difference in these things. But for most people, understanding this should come pretty naturally. I'm done here.
You claim that housing is a "necessity" and therefore that the price should be controlled. And yet when Bruce sells a building for the best price he can get, regardless of the great good that could have been done with that space if it had instead been sold at a discount to a non-profit or charity, then you give him a pass for no reason other than that he's a left-winger.
The simple fact is that you have no methodology for determining what products and services are discretionary and which are essential and therefore, by your skewed standard, whose price must be controlled by some bureaucrat in city hall in a cheap suit.
The irony is that wherever socialism of the kind you advocate, with state control of prices and the means of production, has been tried, it has collapsed in abject failure. And yet here you are, promoting the same ol' same ol' centralized command and control.
Give it up, dude.
State control of prices and the means of production of certain sectors has worked fabulously. Compare Canadian medicine vs. United States. Their system is cheaper and better than ours.
Overwhelming Socialized Medicine kicks butt over privatized by all objective means of measurement whenever and wherever tried.
The same goes for fire fighting, mass transit, education and a few other sectors. Your ideology just blinds you to the truth.
poor. And if the Canadian system is so good, why do they send so many of their patients to the US for care?
Ten times as many Americans engage in "Medical Tourism" to get health care overseas as visa versa. If the American health care system is so great, why do so many Americans have to overseas to be treated?
have no objection to people exercizing freedom. Do you?
When the Euro folds, most of these social media stocks (especially stocks in companies that are unprofitable) are going to tank harder than the market in general. It's only a matter of weeks now. You'll get the cheap rents you're looking for then. But you'll probably also get President Romney as another side-effect. He'll make a much better bogeyman than your fellow San Franciscans.
There is often as much opportunity in bear markets as in bull markets.
back up your assertions and claims and then I will make a counter-argument. As it stands, I see no reason or point to make counter-arguments against assertions, unsubstantiated claims, and ad hominems.
General Motors pulled its FB ads this week, saying the ads don't work. Not a good sign.
What's more disconcerting is how Jerry Brown and the Legislature are banking on taxes from Facebook stock sales/stock option exercises to keep us afloat. If a state is reliant on a single company pumping in money to the tax coffers, that's a bad sign. And Jerry Brown was on a talk show today saying FB was invented in CA. He seems disconnected.
Are U saying the state's not gonna get $1 B in taxes from FB? Or are you saying $1 B is insignificant? It would seem that if the state is gonna get $1 B in taxes (or close to that), that would be a big help to the state's deficit. To ignore all that money like it didn't matter much, which is what you seem to think JB should do, doesn't make sense.
It is not a good sign when the state is relying on a one-time extraordinary events to balance its budget- where's it gonna get that $1 billion next year??
In order to do the fb revenue estimate, the state is guessing what the stock the price will be in six months- pretty risky stuff.
Brown didn't "balance' the budget last year and he won't balance it this year either. But of course he is seeking a $65 billion raise.
A big NO on that.

- Put on your listOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/26/2014This was a great find. Their small plates are creative, innovative and tasty. Good happy hour. We liked it so much we went back a second night and were just as pleased. I'd definitely go back when I am in town. Try the shrimp and calamari for sure.Special Features:

- karencope22Dined on 8/22/2014It was okay, but once was enough. There are so many really good restaurants on the island, that this one pales in comparison.Special Features:
- DeeinWmsbgDined on 8/21/2014We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Service was excellent and our food was delivered quite quickly. We took advantage of the 25% off (5:00 pm to 5:45pm) discount by eating early and there was no problem. Portions were generous. Since we were last there (several years ago) they have enlarged the restaurant, but it still maintains the atmosphere of elegant casual.Special Features:
- We come every yeardcwinoDined on 8/20/2014This was our 3rd year coming and the good is always delicious. We are fans of the early dining special from 5-545 and service is always great. You can never go wrong with the short ribs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- WG never disappoints!AAWGDined on 8/19/2014Mu husband and I love WG. We always choose WG whenever we are celebrating something special, such as Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mother's/Father's day. We love WG mostly because of the great food and wine selection because it's always outstsnding. I had a baby 9 months ago and i was bit concerned that the place wasn't baby/kid friendly. It turns out it was the complete opposite. I hope they add a a baby changing station in the ladies' (or men's!) rest room. Again, we love WG!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eventHMLFJDined on 8/17/2014I chose this after extensive perusal of TripAdvisor reviews and descriptions for our 51st anniversary. 3 out of our party of 4 ordered the surf and turf which was very delightful. The chef made the required distinctions of the filet mignon between rare, medium rare, and medium, and the meat was tender and juicy. The lobster tail was larger than expected and the sauce made it the best we had ever tasted. It also was cooked to perfection. The coconut shrimp were also wonderful. The small plate of sashimi Tuna melted in our mouths - fantastic! Finishing the meal with cappuccino and molten flourless chocolate cake made this truly a meal and night to remember. Very pleasant and attentive server (Karely) without being overly intrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/14/2014Service deteriorates significantly when busy,(May have been our server conversing with others) food remained very good. Next time in Hilton Head it will be lower on the list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food!!!!FoodieDined on 8/13/2014We loved everything we got. The ahi lettuce wraps were great as well as shrimp wontons. The French onion soup was great!!! The loaded skillet potatoes were amazing and the bread pudding was huge and the best we've ever had. Didn't have the typical bourbon sauce which I hate so it was to die for! Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wise Guys/Wise ChoiceHomeChefTomDined on 8/13/2014Wise Guys greeted us in a friendly manner and seated us early since we arrived before our reservation time. The food was very well prepared and served in a timely fashion. The scallop risotto and the demonico rib eye were excellent. Caesar salad was rather bland, but they do serve it with white anchovies if requested. They do have an excellent wine list whether ordering by the bottle or by the glass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gluten free choices galore!NYtravelsDined on 8/12/2014Finally, a restaurant that not only had an actual GF menu (not just a piece if paper), but a variety of amazing choices. We are from NY, and Wiseguys felt like a Manhattan restaurant in SC. Incredible food, extensive wine list and professional and knowledgeable wait-staff. Everything Sam, our waiter, recommended was a hit at the table. If you get seated between 5-5:45, you get 25% off of your bill-food AND drinks! A must for any food and wine enthusiast vacationing on HHI.Special Features:

- Fabulous- againOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/1/2014Our second time here- and another great dinner. The filet's are so tender, had the gorgonzola sauce with it and I couldn't get enough! Skillet potatoes good as well. My kids let the waitress know my husband and I were celebrating our 22 wedding anniversary and she brought out a complimentary fondue for the table for dessert- very nice of them. Our waitress was Raven- she was fabulous- so friendly, always a smile on her face, very attentive.Special Features:
- Great last minute findLondonDined on 7/31/2014Four of us were looking for a nice place to eat before our vacation ended. We planned on eating at the Boat House, which has always been one of our favorites. Knowing that the wait could be long, we made a reservation at Wiseguys as a "just in case". We got to the Boat House just before 7 and found our wait to be over two hours! We quickly decided to try Wiseguys. We each started with one of the specialty drinks, which were well worth the price. Two of us had fish dishes and the other two had steaks. In addition we ordered the She-crab soup. Yum! All were marvelous -- maybe even better than that. My husband said his Delmonico was the best he's ever had. Wiseguys quickly became our new favorite go to in Hilton Head.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A really good find!RSauceDined on 7/17/2014A great dining experience! Greeted warmly and seated quickly. Our Waiter, Danny was masterful with recommendations for food and drink. My steak was as good as he suggested. My wife was vacillating between two fish dishes and he pointed out that she could have both in smaller portions. Chilean Sea Bass and Grouper, that she shared with me and they were both excellent. Drinks were expertly prepared and a very nice wine selection is available as well. My wife finished off with a foursome of Creme Brulee, that consisted of Chambord, Vanilla , Grand Marnier and Kahlua. She they were all excellent. My steak was available with four different sauces and as many side dishes as well. Really good place and great value!Special Features:
- Phenomenal, excellent food & moreDecoratingDiva2Dined on 7/15/2014We loved our visit to Wise Guys Restaurant! My red snapper and grouper combination was absolutely delicious! My husband's filet mignon plus crab cakes, sauteed wild mushrooms and spinach was also excellent. The seating was very comfortable and the kid's meals were just as good and a great value. This is our new favorite restaurant in Hilton Head. Thank you for also having a gluten free menu, this really attracted us as well as we have two in our family that have celiac and this is always a concern when dining out.Special Features:
- Great food, great atmosphereeagle0412Dined on 7/14/2014As soon as we walked in the door, we had high hopes for this restaurant. The decor is modern, the menu intriguing and the servers (especially Maegan) attentive. When the food came, we were not disappointed. The crab fondue was light and tasty; the jumbo scallops were seared perfectly; the short-rib sliders were tender; and the mushroom risotto was smooth and creamy. (And believe me, we are usually disappointed with risotto if we order it any place other than our favorite restaurant in Little Italy, NY.) The bill can get a bit pricey, but the early bird discount (25% off if you place your order by 5:45p) makes it more manageable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Alex Anzalone, a top linebacker recruit, committed to Notre Dame Sunday at Nike's premier camp, The Opening. Anzalone stars for Wyomissing (Pa.) High School. He stands 6'3 and checks in at 225 pounds. Anzalone chose the Fighting Irish over offers from Penn State and Florida, as well as Ohio State, Alabama and a host of others.
Anzalone was committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes for a time, but he was then involved in a bizarre series of events including a sex offender reaching out to Anzalone and meeting him during a visit for the Ohio State spring game. He subsequently decommitted.
Anzalone is very athletic, with good speed and agility. He also has the frame to add considerable weight. He is a consensus four-star recruit and a top-10 linebacker nationally.
He is the 17th commitment of Notre Dame's 2013 class, and the third linebacker commitment.

"I am a single dad who moved into the Cortez Hill Family Center with my 12-year-old son. At the time I entered the program, it was difficult for me to continue working due to my deteriorating health. The YWCA helped me get the proper medical treatment and I was able to maintain my employment and continue attending school. The Cortez Hill Family Center is a wonderful program that doesn't just provide a handout, but is a true support system for those in need."
— Former Cortez Hill Resident
The Cortez Hill Family Center is one of only three residential programs for homelessness families in the City of San Diego. The center provides 45 families with individual apartment-style housing at one time. The program is 120 days in length.
For information or to pick up an application, please call 619.239.0355, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the YWCA's administrative offices at 1012 C Street, San Diego, CA 92101 (Monday to Friday, 9am – 5:30pm).
Case Management
Case management is a critical component of the YWCA strategy to assist families who are overcoming homelessness. Our Case Managers assess the needs of each client and their family and arrange, coordinate, monitor and evaluate a package of multiple services designed to achieve the goals of the client.
Intensive group therapy sessions, conducted by Masters level interns, are provided to all of the residents of the Cortez Hill Family Center. These counseling sessions cover self-esteem/assertiveness training, boundary setting, conflict resolution, the cycle of domestic violence (where pertinent) and techniques to manage anger and stress. Individual counseling and parenting classes are also provided.
Legal Assistance
The YWCA's legal team provides comprehensive legal services, including, but not limited to, assistance with temporary restraining orders, legal separation/divorce actions, child custody/support, immigration matters, employment and housing issues for victims of domestic violence, dating violence and sexual assault to families served by the Cortez Hill Family Center as well as under-served women in the community through our highly successful mobile legal clinics.
Career Development
Building economic security for survivors of homeless is a top priority of the Cortez Hill Family Center program. Staffed by an Employment Development Manager and a Career Counselor, the YWCA Career Center provides resume writing assistance and job search activities through internet-based employment sites and works with employers to create internship opportunities so that clients can gain experience and hands-on skills.

The program is directed by YWCA Children's Activity Coordinators, in partnership with YWCA volunteers, and activities include weekly reading groups and tutoring sessions; visits to libraries, museums and parks; and attendance at community events. Because visual and creative arts have proven to be a means of healing, children are provided with opportunities to express themselves through music, art, creative writing, and performance projects led by local artists and musicians.
This is the only homeless program in San Diego County that keeps homeless families together. Family members are not separated by age or gender.
Assistance with transportation is provided.

Lions RB Best to remain out for the season

Thomas a logical fit with Lions
The Lions didn't seem to be in need of a wide receiver, but trading for the Jaguars' Mike Thomas makes sense on multiple levels.
Thomas has abruptly retired.||||||| Thomas left the Chicago Bears on Sunday and later announced his retirement. The former Washington Redskins and New York Giants player offered no immediate explanation, saying on Twitter, "I have decided to retire from the NFL." A 2008 second-round draft pick by the Washington Redskins, he was cut in 2010 and made three catches last season with the Giants. He had 43 career receptions for 482 yards and three touchdowns and averaged 24.1 yards per kick return.
The New York Giants have been awarded receiver Devin Thomas on waivers from the Carolina Panthers.||||||| A former second-round draft pick of the Washington Redskins, Thomas is the second receiver signed by the Giants this week. They signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Michael Clayton on Tuesday, a day after leading receiver Hakeem Nicks had an emergency procedure to relieve pressure in his right leg. Thomas appeared in five games with Washington and Carolina this season and did not have a catch. He returned 15 kickoffs with a 26.6-yard average.
Carolina has made another attempt to boost the NFL's worst offense by claiming Thomas off waivers from Washington. Washington waived him on Saturday.||||||| Thomas did not catch a pass with Washington this season and has no immediate fantasy impact.
The Washington Redskins on Saturday released Thomas, a 2008 second-round draft pick who failed to impress new coach Mike Shanahan.||||||| Thomas was one of three pass-catchers taken in the second round two years ago in what has turned out to be an extremely disappointing draft by then-front office head Vinny Cerrato. Thomas had trouble running routes correctly and was dogged by questions about work ethic, receiver Malcolm Kelly hasn't been able to stay healthy and is on injured reserve, and tight end Fred Davis is stuck behind Chris Cooley.
Thomas, the Redskins' top draft pick, has been carted away from practice after pulling his right hamstring at training camp. Coach Jim Zorn says the team doesn't immediately know the extent of the injury.||||||| Thomas was hurt Thursday while reaching over his head to catch a pass from quarterback Jason Campbell during 11-on-11 drills. Thomas was drafted in the second round, 34th overall, and signed a $4.83 million, four-year contract last week.

Check Your 1099s
IRS 1099 forms are used to report interest, dividends, royalties, and freelance earnings. Experts estimate that over 10% of 1099 forms contain some type of error. If you file your taxes based on an incorrect 1099 you could have to file an amended return − or worse pay a penalty on unreported income. Compare your 1099s to bank and brokerage statements; if you find an error, ask the company to send you and the IRS a revised copy. The IRS will compare your tax return information with the 1099 information it receives, so always make sure the numbers match. (Great advice for any numbers you report on your tax returns.)

Last Updated: 09/24/2012*
John P. Shannon, Space Shuttle Program Manager, recently presented the AWIPS NCF team with a specially designed certificate, marking the end of the space shuttle program, as a token of their appreciation. The certificate featured a patch that was flown in space aboard the STS-134 mission of Space Shuttle Endeavour, whose final launch occurred on May 16, 2011, with a landing on June 1, 2011.
Since 2005, meteorologists and IT engineers at the Raytheon Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) Team's Network Control Facility (NCF) have been supporting NASA's space shuttle program. With the end of the Space Shuttle program this year, the National Weather Service (NWS) Spaceflight Meteorology Group (SMG) recognized the AWIPS NCF team for their "support to SMG and ultimately NASA's human spaceflight program."
AWIPS, a complex network of systems, plays a critical role in the ability of NWS forecasters to make weather predictions that can save lives and safeguard property.
Acting as the 'first-line defense' for all AWIPS operational issues, the NCF team supported several space shuttle missions, including Discovery and Endeavor, by providing enhanced technical support of launch sites' AWIPS systems. Precise weather conditions are required for a safe and successful launch. The NCF examined AWIPS' critical weather monitoring script multiple times per day before, during and after a launch. This provided a real-time health check of the system so that NWS forecasters could continue to make time-sensitive, high impact weather warnings without disruption.
"SMG and the NCF have had a long and successful partnership over the years. The NCF's help in resolving AWIPS issues and monitoring the SMG AWIPS during critical phases of Space Shuttle missions has been invaluable," said Frank Brody, chief of the National Weather Service Spaceflight Meteorology Group. "Your personnel have worked hard to understand SMG's unique AWIPS setup and troubleshoot any AWIPS problems that have come up. We appreciate that they have done all this with a friendly and positive attitude."

A big change we noticed was no sales or push to buy a soda/coffee plan, etc. It was nice to just enjoy the ship and the personnel were all so friendly. We splurged and signed up for the Ultimate Ship Tour. Although it was $150 per person on a lottery basis, WOW! Well worth it! A 3 hour behind the scenes tour of the galley, laundry, engine room, bow, print shop, medical office, photo lab and the bridge were phenomenal. Meeting the Captain, crew, and seeing how much effort goes into making us happy was a thrill. We received pictures, plush thick Princess robes, a Chef jacket, and forever memories. Bravo to Princess for offering this tour.
Overall, this was a fantastic cruise and we would highly recommend it to anyone!
