Life's good in the Vale, residents agree
6:10pm Friday 21st December 2012 in News
A survey by Vale of White Horse District Council shows 95 per cent of residents in the district are satisfied with life there.
The survey also found that one in three people had carried out volunteer work in the past 12 months.
Residents said the most important council services were reducing crime, making the area litter-free, and the waste and recycling collection service.
More than three quarters of respondents said they were satisfied with the way the council runs services.
The professional survey organisation spoke to 1,100 residents at their homes.

After a recent string of resignations, the Carson City Police Department is just one officer shy of not existing at all. During the past month, three of the department's part-time officers have left for positions with other agencies, including Interim Police Chief Jason Pattok, who resigned on Aug. 4.
Sara Shriver was elated nearly two years ago when she was selected as the superintendent of Belding Area Schools, and it appears members of the district school board continue to share in that sentiment.
It has been more than two years in coming, but on Wednesday, all the hard work, planning and expense paid off for Lakeview Community Schools when Superintendent Kyle Hamlin cut the ribbon officially opening the doors to Lakeview Elementary School. Assisting in the task were Board of Education President Ed Jonaitis and Principal Kelly Nielsen.
The event was well-attended by community members, teachers, administrators and parents with children who will soon be entering the school for fall classes.
Three candidates vying for House and Senate seats in November met Monday evening at Twin Ponds Sports Shop to discuss conservation-related issues with area voters. Attending were 70th District Rep.

Again the four councilmen were asked, and again they deigned to answer why they voted not extend this village manager's contract.
The question was asked at tonight's Edmore Village Council meeting, which more than 30 people attended.

The parents of a five year old girl with cancer are facing a race against time. They want to raise £500,000 to take her to America for treatment she cannot receive here.
Fraja Simpson was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in January. Her parents say she has a better chance of surviving the disease, which affects the nervous system, if they can get her to the States.

The National Weather Service is calling for cold temperatures this week.
Here are some tips, courtesy of the National Weather Service, to keep in mind during this Arctic cold.
- Minimize outdoor activities, especially for the elderly and very young.
- Dress in several layers of loose-fitting clothing rather than a single layer of heavy clothing.
- Wear a hat, mittens and waterproof boots. Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs.
- When using heating sources such as fireplaces, wood stoves and space heaters, be sure to ventilate them correctly.
- Test smoke alarms and keep carbon monoxide detectors handy.
- Bring pets out of the cold. Don't assume they can handle the cold. If you are not warm, they are not either.

Frequently Asked Questions about Financial Aid:
How is financial need determined?
CAWS and FACTS estimate financial need by reviewing a family's income, expenses, assets and liabilities, number of family members, and the number of children attending tuition-charging institutions. After an allowance for core expenses and taxes, the remaining funds are considered discretionary income. A portion of this discretionary income is available for education. CAWS utilizes the FACTS calculations as a starting point, and may also factor in extenuating circumstances before determining what it feels a family can afford to contribute.
Who is eligible for an assistance grant?
Tuition assistance is available for students in five-day kindergarten through grade eight. For grade students, tuition assistance grants are available at all levels in order to make attending the school possible. For five day kindergarten students, tuition assistance grants are available up to 25% of basic tuition. Income and net worth are the main determinants in making awards.
If parents are separated or divorced, who must complete financial aid paperwork?
In instances of divorce or separation, the Financial Aid Committee looks to the income and assets of the custodial and non-custodial parent(s) and any stepparents to contribute to the cost of their child's education.
If I own a business, will I be asked to file additional information?
A business owner may be asked to furnish additional income and tax information for a business.

Cleveland Police released the 911 call made Sunday afternoon after a witness heard Aliza Sherman screaming for help.
Caller: "Don't die lady, just stay with me okay?" Dispatcher: "Just try and keep her still." Caller: "Don't move lady. Please do not move."
Try as they might, the man who heard 53-year-old Aliza Sherman's screams for help and a dispatcher couldn't save the Beachwood mother. She died at MetroHealth Medical Center of multiple stab wounds.
Sherman, who is divorcing her husband Sanford of 30 years was attacked outside her attorney's office building.
At her house, neighbor Marilyn Lenson tells us, "We haven't seen Mr. Sherman since it happened."
Lenson is saddened by the murder, "I feel bad for her kids and I feel bad for her."
Sherman's purse was still with her, although it is not known if anything was taken.

Taxpayers in Charlottesville and Albemarle County are forking out thousands to pay for a housing complex that was supposed to be funded with federal vouchers. This is because the city and the county did not comply with the regulations required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
HUD says the county and the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority did not play by the rules. And because of that, city and county taxpayers have had to fork out more than $100,000 this past year for The Crossings at Fourth and Preston. The money paid for 30 homeless people to live in the complex.
Just last month, city taxpayers contributed $11,669 and county taxpayers paid $3,975.
This is where things went wrong: In order for the rent to be paid by federal vouchers, the city and the county have to follow HUD regulations. For example, HUD requires a hearing for public comment be held - which never happened. A spokesperson for HUD also says the paperwork and plans were not submitted on time.
Lisa Wolfe, a spokeswoman with HUD said both a five-year plan and an annual plan must be filed with HUD. Wolfe said the county and Charlottesville's housing authority failed to file either plan.
"They just didn't follow the steps that they needed to take," said Wolfe.
Wolfe said it is also required to include how many vouchers are needed for the plans. She said Albemarle County needed nine and the city needed 21 but neither were included in a plan.
"The procedures basically had always been in place, they just hadn't been formalized in a written regulation so HUD said, you know, you're not in compliance with what we require therefore we're not going to let you project base the vouchers," said Kathy McHugh, Charlottesville housing development specialist.
Wolfe said housing authorities were sent a reminder notice about HUD regulations in fall of 2011.
The county can still apply for a waiver. A spokesperson for HUD says that process can take a while though - six months or more.
Regardless of whether a waiver is in place - it's not stopping the bills from being paid by city and county taxpayers. McHugh says the city could continue to pay more than $11,000 per month for nine more years if the waiver is not approved.

What Should Technical Communicators Do When Products "Just Work"?
Ellis Pratt
One of the challenges technical communicators face is the sometimes-held belief that "no one reads the manual," and that the technical documentation budget would be better spent on improving the usability of product itself. What is the future for technical communicators when many organizations believe products are getting easier and they don't need to spend so much on user documentation?
This webinar will look at how to deal with this belief and what it means to our future. Is the traditional model for technical communication broken? We'll look at research into how "cool" apps such as Facebook do (or don't) provide Help, and we'll suggest how to deal with developers who believe the need for a user guide is a sign of poor software usability.
Presenter Biography
Ellis Pratt is director and help strategist at Cherryleaf, a technical writing services and training company based near London, in the United Kingdom. He has over fifteen years' experience working in the field of documentation, has a BA in business studies, and is an Associate of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Ranked the most influential blogger on technical communication in Europe, Ellis is also an author and editor of two books: How to Write Instructions and Trends in Technical Communication.

The federal budget battle known as sequestration has introduced cuts for everything from school programs to the military to air travel.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced plans Friday to close 149 air traffic control towers across the country beginning on April 7, but one Middle Tennessee airport's tower will remain open.
The tower at the Smyrna-Rutherford County Airport was not included on the FAA list of towers subject to closure.
Smyrna Airport Manager John Black said the airport's tower was among 24 contract towers selected to remain open, because closure would have a negative effect on the overall airspace system, he said.
The FAA closures only affect towers that use contract workers, so the Nashville International Airport is not included.
Earlier this month, airport officials told Channel 4 News that being without tower operations would affect safety and create trickle-down issues for the area economy.
The facility is the busiest general aviation airport in the state, with some 67,000 flight and training operations each year.
One of the busiest cargo haulers at the Smyrna Airport is Nissan, as it flies in parts to keep the production line at its local plant up and running.

This might become the first real pitchers' duel of what might have been a series full of them; after two innings, the game is scoreless and both starting pitchers, Mathew Latos and Matthew Cain, have looked sharp. Early on, though, Cain hasn't been getting a great deal of help from his defense. In the bottom of the first, Zack Cozart reached on an infield single that might have been turned into an out.
And in the bottom of the second, Scott Rolen led off and reached safely on this play:
You'll get 'em next time, Panda.
No problem for Cain, though. The next batter, Ryan Hanigan, rolled into an easy 6-4-3 double play. And Cain finished off the Reds by striking out Drew Stubbs looking.
Heading into the third inning, this one's still scoreless.

"During my second year of residency, I had the opportunity to practice international medicine in rural Jamaica through sponsorship by the Issa Trust Foundation. Though Jamaica is known for its white sandy beaches and elaborate resorts, one does not have to travel far to see the poverty and the poor access to healthcare that is the reality for the majority of its citizens. Though resources were scarce, I felt like I was able to make a difference in the lives of those that streamed through my clinic day in and day out. I came to depend on my physical exam when additional diagnostic testing was either too expensive or not available entirely. Overall, I feel that this experience has helped me hone my skills as a physician and expand my view on international medicine." – Drew Behunin, DO

TOULOUSE, France (AP) -- A shooter has opened fire in front of a Jewish school in a southwest French city killing several people, the Toulouse prosecutor said Monday.
Michel Valet told The Associated Press that there were "several dead" in the morning incident at the school in Toulouse. He said it was unclear whether the victims were children.
The shooter drove away on a scooter, a national police official in Paris said. The private Jewish school is located in the northeast of Toulouse.
The official did not wish to be named in line with departmental rules.
The shooting occurred about 8:10 a.m. just ahead of the start of classes in most schools.
The shooting happened in the same area where a gunman on a motorbike opened fire on three uniformed paratroopers at a bank machine Thursday, killing two and critically wounding the other. The attack in the town of Montauban occurred not far from the soldiers' barracks. Four days earlier, a gunman on a motorbike shot and killed another paratrooper in Toulouse, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) away.
Authorities said at the time that forensic analysis showed that the same weapon was used in the shootings in Montauban and Toulouse.
It was not immediately clear if all three shootings are related.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, HorrorHave you ever heard of the 1970 British thriller And Soon the Darkness? I'm not ashamed to admit I have not, though I must say I love the title. It has an air of pretension surrounding it not often found in films such as The Gingerdead Man. Since I've never heard of it and thus lack any sort of emotional attachment with it, I'm relatively ambivalent toward the idea of the remake, which stars Karl Urban, Odette Yustman and Amber Heard. I don't mind Heard, though I wasn't fond of All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, but after The Unborn I just wish Yustman would go away. Alas, I will still probably see it, especially since Screen Daily has reported that Anchor Bay has snagged the North American distribution rights to the film.
Directed by Marcos Efron, the film stars Yustman and Heard as two friend on a cycling trip through Argentina when one of them disappears, prompting a hunt for her by the other before the darkness falls. A quick search revealed that Bloody Disgusting was told by industry insiders that the film is "absolutely terrible," so if past events are any indications, I will probably love it.
Efron also co-wrote the script with Jennifer Derwingson, who wrote and directed the Rashida Jones vehicle Roadside Assistance in 2001. Look for And Soon the Darkness in theaters sometime this fall.
Special thanks to Shock for the heads up.

Was getting new bangs or divorcing Kris Humphries reality television star Kim Kardashian's worst decision of 2011? The hot brunette from the hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians used to be known for her charity benefit work and making red carpet appearances. Then, to up her show ratings, she was accused of faking a loving relationship and staging a huge wedding. It was quite the celebrity scandal! Her last symbolic act of 2011 was to go with a new celebrity hairstyle, showing up with bangs to her New Years Eve party in Las Vegas. Was getting her hair cut a bigger mistake than filing for divorce — or will a new look and publicity stunt give her the press she needs to start 2012 with a blank slate in the gossip columns?
Kim Kardashian is rocking a new do for the New Year. The star celeb socialite went to Twitter to ask what she ought to do about her hair. "Should I do bangs?" she tweeted. Apparently, she thought it sounded funny to host her own gang bang poll before going through with wearing a clip. When enough people said yes after seeing comparison pictures of Kim K with and without bangs to compare, she went with it said People Stylewatch. So, looking trendy (rather than like a classic beauty) was how she appeared at her New Years Eve party at Tao in Las Vegas. There, she rung in the New Year making big bucks partying with friends and family during her special guest appearance.
Love 'em or loathe 'em, see Kim Kardashian's new bangs celebrity hairstyle for 2012 here. [She pretty much looks like a futuristic Cleopatra in the photo.] But changing her hairstyle was not exactly Kim's New Year's Resolution — to get her hair cut or new bangs. Making a pledge to erase the general public's memories of the last year and a half by out-rumoring the rumor mills reports by revealing more and more new information about herself seemed to be her resolution.
She has said that she intends to leave the 2011, and all the criticism over her 72 day marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries, behind. The tweet "Who else is soooo ready to let go of 2011 and have the best 2012 ever!!!" sparked some to suggest that Kim in fact was taking a pot shot at Humphries. Maybe Kim has a dating new man in mind — not continuing to fool around with all the guys she broke up with or was dumped by in the past?
People reported the latest celebrity quote made by the most famous of the Kardashian sisters. Allegedly, Kim K says:
"I'm looking forward to moving forward," she said, "and never looking back."
Will getting new bangs or having filed for a divorce 72 days into marriage instead of just pretending for a few years that everything between she and Kris Humphries was okay turn out to be her worst decision of 2011? Even if he did look like the Harry Potter troll, she still could have faked that her oath taken before God to spend the rest of her life with him meant more than 72 days of stating with him.
Our guess is, if she really cut her hair it will take longer to grow back that it will for her to repair all the publicity damage the fake wedding did for her in the press.
Website iVillage noted that Kim K openly claims she wants 2012 to be a simpler year. To that end, always pro-active publicity stunt girl Kim Kardashian decided to change her Twitter account to a blank background instead of the flashier versions that most star celebs use. We're not exactly certain that's the way to tone down on Kardashian excess, but it may be a start.
Anything can happen in a Keeping Up With The Kardashians world, as loyal reality television show fans will tell anyone who asks about watching them.
Whatever bad publicity she's getting nowadays, Kim K certainly helped bring in the New Year with a bang as well as her bangs. Yahoo! reported Kim was paid $600,000 for her appearance at Tao Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, making it the biggest single financial day of the year for the Kardashian enterprise, according to Perez Hilton.
Well, that is, except for her wedding day…
We wonder if Kim won't donate some of that cash to an Alicia Keys charity, Keep a Child Alive, for which the star celeb has appeared in a coffin, playing dead, encouraging viewers to Buy Life. The site says it takes just $5 to Keep a Child Alive, which translates to 120,000 children in African nations who could receive lifesaving AIDS treatment. It seems to us a green celebrity like Kim Kardashian should take some of that dough she got for appearing on New Year's Eve, and send it the way of the charity she claims to support.
What say you, Kim? We're not saying that changing your Twitter background to something more respectable [and less sensational] isn't a start, but maybe you can kick off the New Year doing something really positive (and simple). We know you're up to the task to giving a little back. How about donating some of that Big Bang Theory cash back to help save lives? Or is your 2012 PR plan still to get yourself as much free press as you can by getting your name involved with celebrity scandal?
What do you think, Kardashian sisters fans… was the Kris Humphries divorce or getting bangs Kim Kardashian's worst decision of 2011? Take a look at her new look and share your opinion about it.

Activists, union challenge Google bus pilot program
San Francisco activists and labor filed an appeal of the controversial commuter shuttle (aka, the Google buses) pilot program to the Board of Supervisors today, alleging it was pushed through without a proper environmental review.
The appeal was filed by a coalition of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, SEIU 1021, The League of Pissed Off Voters, and Sara Shortt of the Housing Rights Committee.
The shuttles, mostly to Silicon Valley tech firms, pick up passengers in Muni bus stops. The use of public bus stops would incur a $271 fine for private autos, and often do, but the shuttles have largely received a free pass from the city. Last month, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency approved of a pilot plan hatched behind closed doors that allows use of 200 bus stops by the private shuttles, charging only $1 per stop, per day.
The appeal alleges that the program needed review under the California Environmental Quality Act, which asks for projects to be analyzed for, among other things, land use, housing, and public health impacts.
"CEQA actually identifies displacement as an environmental impact," attorney Richard Drury, who filed the appeal on behalf of the coalition, told us. "Almost no one knows that. Honestly I didn't know that, until I started researching all of this."
If the Board of Supervisors doesn't back the appeal, there may be a court battle on the environmental impact of the shuttle stops, which increase rents and home prices nearby.
Paul Rose, spokeserpson for the SFMTA, responded to the complaint in an email to the Guardian.
"We developed this pilot proposal to help ensure the most efficient transportation network possible by reducing Muni delays and further reducing congestion on our roadways," Rose wrote. "We are confident that the CEQA clearance is appropriate and will be upheld."
In the meantime, Drury told us, the coalition is performing environmental research of its own. It has experts from the US Environmental Protection Agency and other organizations analyzing diesel outputs from the shuttles, as well as the impact of shuttles on displacement.
"CEQA review needs to have a review before they start the pilot, not after," Drury said. "They're basically doing it backwards: let's have 200 stops and 35,000 people in the service, and figure out what happens."
Some studies conducted already show that affluence rises wherever the shuttle stops are placed. One by Chris Walker, a 29 year old in Mumbai, India, shows rising property values in and around the Google bus stops from 2011 to 2013.
This heatmap shows a rise in property values appreciated near shuttle stops.
"We see the Google Bus as a part of a larger effort to privatize public spaces and services, displacing both current residents and the public transportation system we rely on," said Alysabeth Alexander, Vice President of SEIU Local 1021, in a statement. "San Francisco has a long history and tradition as a union town. With the tech takeover, San Francisco is becoming inhospitable to working class families. Our wages are stagnant, as the cost of everything is skyrocketing. This is a shame."
is there a more worthless description than "activist poet" ?
That is, way too many unproductive slackers and trust fund layabouts.
These union hacks never stop.
"SF has always been a strong union town." Is that why the cops are so lazy and our pedestrians get killed daily, SFFD gets drunk and runs people over (covering it up), Muni is complete crap, there are potholes everywhere, a parking ticket is $72, no one bothers to search stairwells, you can get run over laying down with your dog in a park - and all this with an $8 billion budget. I'm so happy SF is a strong union town.
their agenda is so nakedly selfish and one-dimensional?
Are they going after UCSF, The Art Institute and all the other private shuttles in town?
so it is OK to not hate them
Is a CEQA exemption appropriate for such large, disparate, private transportation services? Is there a good likelihood that a substantial impact is being created by these fleets operating daily in SF's neighborhoods?
There certainly are stakes if this appeal is successful. If there is an impact, it needs to be identified, mitigated or over-ridden by the approval body. The city would have to conduct and approve an EIR with over-riding considerations justifying ignoring the environmental impact, slap down the subsequent appeals to the BOS and Bd of Appeals, and then face a lengthy court fight. So if the judge agrees that an exemption was too easily granted, this could put the shuttles on ice for several years.
Hell, even if the BOS denies this appeal, these folks can appeal to the Bd of Appeals and, having "exhausted all local remedies", can then file a lawsuit in court. I suppose at some point they can also file for an injunction (which they may not get but still...) but I don't know the hows or whys or whens. Still, this play sets the stage and gives these folks a host of options. (In some ways, the BOS's smartest move would be approve the appeal and try to steer the project into a mitigated neg dec where the appeal rules are cloudier and there's greater flexibility for managing the impacts. Although an MND is also more vulnerable to a legal challenge so maybe it's a bad idea...).
That said, I really doubt the lawyer Drury can make a direct link between the Google buses and displacement, as he purports. I believe a direct link would be requisite for it to be considered a substantial impact.
But his logic, that a couple of dozen buses stopping at 200 sites to collect and transport 35,000 people daily will create sufficient likelihood of substantial environmental impact to merit a broader environmental review, appears quite sound. I mean, at the very least, shouldn't there be a scoping hearing and study to determine whether a more complete review is necessary? I don't know this process very well so perhaps that already happened?
On the other hand, the 38 transports more people than that every day and the shuttle stops are located in busy, urban areas that already feature busy bus lines and car traffic. This is an expansion of use, not a change of use.
So what exactly would be the "substantial impacts"? Increased pollution impacting established air quality standards? Questionable and debatable. Culture, history, aesthetics? Nothing really there. Displacement as the lawyer says? Quite the stretch to legally connect a mode of transport with real estate speculation by outside players. I suppose increased traffic congestion is possible but wouldn't that be site specific instead of program wide? I mean, in the grand traffic picture, these buses are just a drop in the bucket of vehicles moving to and through town. Locally, a well placed shuttle stop on busy Divis is going to have very little impact overall whereas there might be a shuttle stop or a shuttle route that is much more quiet and is indeed impacted by the shuttles. But then wouldn't the city simply reroute instead of conducting a full EIR?
In any case, this isn't a policy question, its a CEQA question. Regardless of what the BOS does, these folks can now carry this issue upstream and onto legal ground where their chances of success are less clouded by politics. I suppose that brings us back to the middle and where the BOS votes sit and how voters will react to another poorly planned Ed Lee scheme laid to bare for all to inspect. This hasn't worked well for him in the past but he's pretty upbeat and teflon. I mean, it's not like the buses are a divisive issue that our consensus mayor can't handle or anything. Oh wait...
I do not see this cheap shot going far at all.
It's about process, information and standards. If there is a decent liklihood of a significant impact in one of the CEQA categories, the City can be compelled to do an EIR, either now or later.
But the environmental merits are almost irrelevant at this stage. Even if the shuttle opponents can't prove there's a liklihood of significant impact, they can continue to file low-barrier appeals at City Hall and in court for the next year or two. That's just the process under city and state law. If they shuttle opponents want to keep this issue alive, they now have the means to do so.
If they can't demonstrate irreparable harm is being caused by allowing the buses to operate while this issue is being adjudicated, this may just be an exercise in public relations. But if they can show that real harm is being cause within a CEQA category, they could try to get the buses shut down until the matter is settled.
this is only a 18 month trial project anyway.
The purpose of a trial is to see how it works. I suspect any arbiter will simply say - let's do the tests and look at the results.
An EIR review about charging a buck when they haven't been paying anything at all is just plain silly.
These folks will claim victory. Stop staring at the pieces and see the whole board.
The purpose of a CEQA appeal is not to see how a program is working. The purpose of a CEQA appeal is to determine whether the standard of review has been met.
Silly or not, these folks took the initiative the other day and now the City, shuttle firms and sponsoring companies will be on defense for the foreseeable future. Ring the lobbying firm mentioned in Tim Redmond's column today and ask them what the future holds. Betcha dollars to doughnuts they are already booking tickets for repeat visits to Appeal City.
Thing I still can't figure out is why the sponsoring tech companies haven't waded in publicly. I get the desire to avoid local pissing matches but at some point one would think they would recognize that this was getting out of hand, employees are getting threatened, and try to engage in some way - directly funding of a popular arts collective in jeopardy or rebuild Jose Coronado playground or give away 1,000 SF State scholarships or something to show some degree of community stewardship in the City. Their silence feels dismissive. Maybe that's how they regard the situation, maybe not. But who would know?
I also wonder what happens if the pilot project isn't extended. How do all these employees get to work? Will they really drive? How many have cars? Will the sponsoring firms really switch to shuttle boats? Those trial boats had a really limited capacity and would be costly to run so that seems unlikely but maybe possible? Would anyone really move out of town or not move in as the anti shuttle folks believe? Would the sponsoring companies shift any operations to SF? Will this have any impact on recruiting efforts for these firms? Seems unlikely but it would be one less perk enticing folks to join the big teams.
Maybe the firms don't have the answers and so are cautious about joining the public discussion. But as a result, there are a lot of unknowns and a great deal of uncertainty. I'm no titan of industry but have heard it said many times that uncertainty is very bad for business.
They are free to travel along city streets in the same way that all vehicles are. That's the whole point of streets!
So the only issue is where they pick up and set down. And again like any vehicle, they can pick up and set down anywhere they want that is legal.
For instance, I've noticed that the drivers know where and when the street cleaning hours are. They can easily stop there without even using a Muni stop.
So the ONLY issue here is whether a buck is enough to pay for that. And we have 18 months to work that out.
This "appeal" is without merit. SFMTA should simply be allowed ro do their job.
the environmental merits are almost irrelevant at this stage?
that is an odd thing to say when supporting the California Environmental Quality Act.
This lawsuit seems practically frivolous, and it is nonsense like this that makes people want to further reform CEQA because it becomes abusive, a tool to delay projects as opposed to what it is intended to do: make them more enviromentally friendly. That's a shame.
And it seems odd to me that they are filing suit against the bus program. Lets say that program is found to be CEQA deficient. That doesn't mean that the buses are going to stop, just the program. Say what you will about the program, it is better than not having any rules in place for these buses. Seems like the opponents could end up just making things go back to the way they were.
I'd love to see CEQA reformed and agree it's almost exclusively used in SF to delay projects so opponents can win by attrition. We've all seen it many times and it can be effective if the exemption or EIR wasn't airtight. I haven't seen this exemption and would assume Planning knew this could end up in court. But the city's process rewards the appeal with delay, regardless of the merits or vote count.
Good point. I suppose the program would stop but the buses could collect passengers outside of bus stops. I think Redmond threw that on the table this morning too. I imagine that's a pragmatic direction some people will advocate as the solution as it largely eliminates the bus zone exception complaint. Heck, pick the right location and you could present it as a win for the local business/nonprofit, etc...
That said, I'm not sure I agree with you that we should settle for weak rules. I mean, I'm mixed on the value of the shuttle buses but charging a buck a stop seemed like a slap in the face to the residents concerned about the impacts. And the weak rules didn't address any of the concerns. It really seemed too clever by half and people didn't buy it.
We're talking about a stop of maybe 2 minutes, ten times a week.
What these activists are really trying to do is tie the shuttles to housing costs. There is quite simply no way any such link could be proven, even if it exists, which I doubt.
They're just bad losers.
Ideally, Google, Apple, and friends will lease more office space in SF.
SF. If the city really wants them, and they should, then we need to make the Twitter tax break universal and permanent
If they create a larger presence in SF, they can work toward improving the regulatory environment.
Twitter were not given a permanent tax deal but they were given a five year deal. That is long enough to be worthwhile and serves as a test to see how it works.
To get Google, Apple etc to come to SF they'd need a minimum of a five-year "incentive" tax break. Then, during that time, they could work to bring about more permanent change along the lines you suggest.
But business does not pre-pay for promises. Rather, they respond to action.
100,000 workers commute OUT of San Francisco every working day, but 500,000 workers commute IN to San Francisco every day.
In other words, the suburbs provide five times as many homes for the workers that SF needs than SF provides homes for their workers.
So overall, inter-county commuters keep SF home prices and rents much LOWER than they otherwise would be. If everyone lived in the town they worked in, we would see much higher rents, more evictions and more speculation..
Facts are useless. Come back again when you are motivated by emotion. Preferably hatred for wealth of any kind.
I was a bike messenger for years and always rode my bike in San Francisco and I have seen first hand as the street level hundreds of times where autos get tickets for parking in the bus stops. Quit your deflecting you corporate tools, the fact is the Silly Con Valley companies abuse San Francisco by using these stops without investing in making them or keeping them up. They also force the crowded MUNI buses to sit and wait while their geeks get on board. This also causes traffic on the street. Yes, it is good these techno nerds commute by mass transit to their jobs, but it would be better if these subsidized companies paid their fair share for this luxury at San Francisco residents tax costs.
Better yet, these geeks need to relocate closer to their jobs and quit causing troubles.

HOOSICK FALLS, N.Y. – A home in Hoosick Falls is a total loss after it caught fire early Friday morning.
Multiple companies were called to a fire at 28 Center St. just before 3 a.m. Friday.
The fire was already fully involved as the first fire crew arrived on scene.
Hoosick Falls Fire Chief Robert Bornt said they believe the fire started in the rear of the building.
The fire was put out by 5 a.m., but fire crews had difficulties putting out the blaze due to the cold temperatures.
"With the cold condition, we had problems getting water out of the hydrant system," Bornt said. "The hydrant system was fine but froze up trying to get to the hydrants. Man power was another issue with the cold trying to get the guys to the fire stations."
In addition, crews had difficulty getting the trucks near the home because of tight corners and power lines were in the way of the aerial ladder.
All residents of the home got out safely, and nearby residents were also evacuated from their homes. The nearby Pan Am rail station was closed because the main water line was on the other side of the train tracks.

CATEGORIES HorrorI remember the first time I saw the trailer for The Ruins in a theater. There were people who screamed at the top of their lungs when Laura Ramsey's character had a vine crawling through her forehead; and I don't think I need to explain how actual screaming is a rare response to a trailer. I was convinced that when the film ultimately came out it was going to be a word-of-mouth hit. Imagine, then, my surprise at The Ruins' rather standard box office performance.
Here we are a year and a half later with a trailer for the body-horror film Growth, a project that evokes the same superficial skin-crawling terrors as The Ruins. Except this time there's no anticipation of box office performance, no predisposed notion of studio budgets and corporate oversight. I gotta say, the result has got me very intrigued. Growth may have glaring flares indicating low-budget filmmaking, but it still looks like a ton of science-gone-wrong, skin-crawling fun. Plus it stars Mircea Monroe, a gal I consider an unsung scream queen that always has me interested in a project.
Check out the trailer for Growth, aka The Ruins by way of Slither and The Crazies, below.
Thanks to Dread Central for the first look.

I don't post in this forum much, cause I really don't have much aside from my Cubs.. but, seems the Cub House has inherited for the time being some added visitors.
Gord had to move his collection of tractors and implements from the Barn he used to own.. and Jan 14th became the day to Move em on Out!
It was a day my brother-in-law had available, and Gord prefers to work with Ray on this stuff.. so away we went. A lot of the pics are on the CubFest Photo Host under Moving Day, but here are a few to whet your whistle..
This is my preferred way of loading Tractors on a Trailer. Everything else requires more work. Not that I dislike hard work, but I will take the easy way when I can get it
3500+ lbs of Super H
Almost done for the first trip. Just adding small stuff and odds and sods to the rest of the load.
Oh, btw.. the truck and trailer take up 75 feet and Ray backed it in to the Barn.. oh about 250 feet from the road through an 8 foot farm fence gate off of a road 22 feet wide roughly from ditch to ditch. He had to take two shots at it.. the second one he had to pull ahead about 18 inches to get the trailer to bypass the fence post. Awesome driving. You should have seen him coming out. There is next to no room on either side of the gate, the ditch is right there...
Gord and I enjoyed ourselves, it was a nice day even with the snow coming down pretty hard. It took almost 2 hours to load and a little over an hour to unload. Unloading though was in the dark and in a heavy snow storm. You can see the amount of snow we got.. in this pic.. the pad had been cleared of snow by a backhoe with a front bucket.. hours before we came home with the tractors.

Creation of a Product Development and Innovation Course
Western New England College, 2008 - $24,000.00
This grant will help create a three-credit elective course on product development and innovation for seniors in the Schools of Business and Engineering at Western New England. Each spring, up to forty students will gain hands-on experience with the early stages of product development, yielding a realistic marketing plan and prototype of their design. Juniors in marketing and engineering already participate in a four-week experience, where they create a design of a new product and a viable marketing plan. The implementation of this new elective course will allow for a much deeper exposure to the product development process.
Besides other assessment and feedback given throughout the term, the Western New England College Law and Business Center for Advancing Entrepreneurship will formally assess the E-Teams. Students will have access to information from the center's resource library regarding contracts, choice of entity, and other start-up legal issues.

Overview and History
In the Stone Age, "Peking Man" lived near Beijing -- as many as 500,000 years ago. The earliest relics in China are stone tools dating to this time period. Between four and five thousand years ago there were agricultural settlements southwest of Beijing. They were the beginning of a city that would go through several name changes over the millenia.
The legendary Yellow Emperor Huang Di battled Chiyou "in the wilderness of the Zhou prefecture." Zhoulu is a town to the west of modern Beijing. The Yellow Emperor's successor, Emperor Yao, established a capital city called Youdo. Youdo became a place called Ji, and Ji was taken over by the Marquis of Yan during the period of the Warring States (475 B.C.)
Ji remained an important city for ten centuries. From China's first feudal empire through to the end of the Tang Dynasty, Ji was a strategic military center in the campaign to unite all of China.
By the end of the Tang Dynasty in 907 A.D., the Qidan army came from the north and occupied Ji. They called it Nanjing, which meant "southern capital." During this time the Liao Dynasty ruled and carried out many reconstruction projects in the city, fortifying it for greater military use.
The Nuzhen army conquered the Liao and established the Jin dynasty as of 1115 A.D., moving the city of Ji and renaming it "Zhongdu" which means "Central Capital." This meant more expansion and construction of palaces until the city spanned five kilometers across and contained an estimated one million people.
Mongolian raiders invaded Zhongdu in 1215 A.D. and renamed it Dadu. Under Kublai Khan the Yuan Dynasty took Dadu as its capital and unified China!
Since Zhongdu had been destroyed by fire in the change from Jin to Yuan dynasties, Kublai Khan took on a reconstruction project that was to expand the city into rectangular shape. It became the political center of the country with three main areas -- imperial palaces, the city walls, and the canal.
By the coming of the thirteenth century, Dadu was a world famous city which astounded Marco Polo when he arrived. In his record he writes, "You must know that it is the greatest palace that ever was..."
In 1368 Ming soldiers captured Dadu and renamed it Beiping or "Northern Peace." It went through another period of reconstruction which saw walls twelve meters high built around its perimeter, walls ten meters thick which took fifteen years to build. When they were done, Beiping became the official capital of the Ming Dynasty. With the completion of the palaces and gardens in 1420, Emperor Yongle renamed the city Beijing, "Northern Capital."
Beijing grew once more and took on a rectangular shape with two distinct sections, the Inner City (Tartar) and the Outer City (Chinese). Its city planners gave it an organized arrangement that still felt relaxed.
The Qing Dynasty came along circa 1644 A.D. and the Manchus built extended suburban gardens. These took more than a whole century to make, but when they were finished the open-air pavilions and palaces stood as a masterpiece of Chinese architecture. This was proper to show the power and refinement of traditional China, a fitting design for the capital of the empire.
The Qing Dynasty lasted until 1911 but collapsed into chaos at the hands of the Northern Warlords. Beijing suffered a lack of leadership until 1949, when the People's Liberation Army entered the city. From Tian'anmen Square in the center of the city, Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the foundation of the People's Republic of China, with Beijing as its capital.
Since then it has continued to expand, surpassing the nine gates of the inner city wall, beyond the seven outer gates, and into the suburbs. Beijing now takes up 750 square kilometers! The city retains its old symmetry with a central axis that runs north-south, and the Imperial Palace Museum at the center. This palace was once called the "Forbidden City" but it is now a museum open to the public.
Getting There
The Beijing Capital International Airport is located 25km northeast of the city. It is the center of China's civil aviation network and it connects to 69 cities worldwide. The airport is linked to the city by bus, taxi and Beijing Subway Airport Line.
The city government operates one bus line and private buses go and come from several hotels. The taxi stand is outside the terminal, as always, so don't ride with the drivers who harass you inside the terminal. A ride to the city center should cost about 70 RMB plus 15 RMB highway toll. You should also know that there's an airport tax of 90 RMB for international travelers. Keep your receipt!
Within the city you can choose from 67,000 GPS-equipped taxis, the bus or the metro. Half of their buses are running on natural gas now, which is a good move considering the city is adding fifty new bus routes per year. Whoa!
The metro has two routes, the Loop Line and Line One. The Loop has sixteen stations and it runs parallel to where the city wall stood in the Ming era. Line One has twenty-one stops going from the suburbs on one side all the way across to the other side. It is safe to assume that there will be more metro lines to follow as Beijing grows.
People and Culture
One of the unique sights in Beijing is a park filled with retired people doing their exercises early in the morning. Tai ch'i, QiGong, sword dancing and shadow boxing are forms of exercise and relaxation which have existed for more than two thousand years and are still popular today.
Drinking tea in a teahouse and enjoying a folk opera in an old-style theater are both popular activities in Beijing culture. Beijing has more bars and pubs than any other Chinese city (more than 400), and it's also full of antique shops, silk markets and museums.
Things to do, Recommendations
Beijing is massive and filled with interesting things to explore. For just a few examples, take a look at these:
The National Stadium (bird's nest), the Water Cube, and ruins of the Yuan Dynasty city wall.
If you like art, you have to check out the 798 Art District. It's named for Factory #798 and the district contains hundreds of galleries, bookstores and restaurants. Have fun!

Olive Oil 101
Extra virgin olive oil is never better than when it is first pressed. Unlike wine, it does not need time to mature. That gives an impressive advantage to California producers—we get our olive oil to you immediately after harvest, and much more quickly than producers overseas.
The flavor of extra virgin olive oil can be buttery and soft, or spicy and sharp. It can be reminiscent of pepper, lemon, or grass. What it should never be is overly bitter, (a little is ok), sour, or flat (entirely flavorless).
Remember, high quality extra virgin olive oil provides the best health benefits and flavor when it's fresh. Open that bottle within 18 months of its bottling date, and use it up within one month of opening. Be sure to store it in a cool, dark place, and follow these easy cooking guidelines for best results.
When it comes to freshness, there is no better choice than California Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Sample one of these fresh oils at a store or olive oil tasting bar near you, visit a producer, or purchase online to see for yourself just how good California extra virgin olive oil can be.

Originally published: Nov 19, 2012 - 4:10 pm
PHOENIX -- Avondale police are investigating a Monday-morning shooting near 109th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.
That's where a shot was fired around and police later found a woman dead on the floor of a garage and a child in the car. The garage door was open and the woman had been shot in the head.
The woman has been identified as Donella Clauschee, 28. According to police, she may have been helping the child, a 4-year-old girl, into a car seat, at the time of the attack.
The child was unharmed. Her relation to the victim, if any, is unknown, said Sgt. Brandon Busse.
Police said they are searching for 41-year-old Michael Hall as a person of interest in the case.
