Simply spear each ear of corn with a stainless-steel skewer, then grill until the kernels are tender and charred to perfection. For authentic Mexican-style corn, try slathering the piping-hot ears with butter and mayo, then sprinkle with cotija cheese and powdered chilies, finishing with a squeeze of lime juice.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Investigators made a second arrest in York County's first homicide of 2012.
22-year-old Travis Koin died after a shooting in Clover early Tuesday morning.
Investigators say someone drove Koin to the ER at the hospital in Kings Mountain. Officials there contacted Kings Mountain Police, who contacted Clover Police just after 3:00 a.m.
Koin died from his injuries and investigators worked to put together the pieces of how he was shot.
The York County Sheriff's Office says there were no reports or calls to 911 about a shooting in the county. Clover Police worked with the Sheriff's Office to determine the location of the shooting.
After several hours of investigation, officers determined the shooting took place in the 1000 block of Wiggins Road, near the City of Clover.
Murder warrants were issued for 21-year-old Kevin Mitchell Eades in connection to the shooting.
Authorities arrested Eades just after midnight Wednesday in Spartanburg County.
Later Wednesday morning, the York County Sheriff's Office said a second suspect was also in custody.
21-year-old Joseph Matthew Polk of Clover is charged with Accessory after the Fact.
Both Eades and Polk are being held in the York County Detention Center.

One iconic structure in Marianna has captivated the attention of the community, city and county. The Russ House Properties have been for sale to the public for over a month and Tuesday Jackson County Commissioners announced the role they will play in the landmarks future.
The Russ House properties consist of the obvious Russ House, the adjacent parking lot and the Brown House. Two weeks ago the Jackson County Commission announced that the Tourist Development Council and Chamber, which currently occupy the building, work with the city of Marianna and the commission to solve the ownership saga. Tuesday the City of Marianna proposed to pay off mortgage and architect fees totaling $156,000. The deed would belong to the city and county.
For a small rent fee the Chamber and TDC will remain in the house.
According to County Administrator, Ted Lakey, the joint ownership is a win-win for the property and community, "It becomes a cost sharing arrangement between the county and the city, TDC. Possibly the Chamber may stay as one of the tenets. So, anytime you can get a group to share the cost it's a good thing." According to the proposal the TDC would make immediate repairs to the Russ House. As for the Brown House, the city and county would renovate the building and the Jackson County Developmental Center would occupy the building.

In taking a non biased look at the other teams in the division, talking about the Steelers was the toughest task. There is a deep hatred for the team I hold as a Bengal fan. I could detail the reasons why but can sum it up with two major issues: the fans and some jealousy.
That aside, looking at the Steelers this season leaves me wondering what kind of team they will be. It seems thay may be on a bit of a decline, but one thing the Steelers organization is good at doing, is reloading. Usually when a player or players leave they have the "next guy up" mentality to fill the void. However, as the other teams in the division continue to get stronger, we may not be looking at the typical Steelers domination that we have grown accustomed to in the past.
This season the Steelers will be relying on two rookies to start, which is not something we are accustomed to seeing. Many reports have Jarvis Jones and Le'Veon Bell starting for the black and gold. Bell looks to be a bell cow type back that has enough speed to break a run or two. Jones dropped fairly far in the draft after being considered a possible lock for the Browns. Both have to play well for the Steelers to compete this season.
Many of the pre-season power rankings (which are worthless) have the Steelers as a middle of the road type team. This has brought a groundswell of comments like "The media hates the Steelers", "We never get any respect", and my favorite, "How many rings does your team have?". I think the ranking fits, with some unproven players on both sides of the ball, and a team that has not played very well in the past season, a middle of the road ranking is all the Steelers deserve.
What does this mean for the Bengals?
The Bengals are playing against the rivalry. Look at the numbers, the Steelers currently own the Bengals. Sure, we love to talk about when we swept the division, or if Carson Palmer would not have gotten hurt, but those days are over and we need to move on. Moving on for the team means outplaying the Steelers and not making the critical mistakes that turn the game in Pittsburgh's favor. I could argue that recently the Bengals have had the more talented team on the field, but that alone does not ensure a win. For some reason, the Bengals players and coaches seem to fold when playing the Steelers.
Ben Roethlisberger recently made a good will trip to London. Keeping all the "I hope the English women are safe" jokes aside, he made a statement about wanting to win more Super Bowls than any QB in Steelers history. With Terry Bradshaw having 4 victories, than means Ben wants to win 3 more Super Bowls. On the one hand, I commend him for the confidence and the drive, on the other I think it's nuts a 31 year old QB thinks it is possible to dominate the league so much in the next 3-8 years. I can't see Ben performing as a top QB long enough to make this goal a possibility.

text: What to Wear to New York Fashion Week 2012 What We're Packing for New York Fashion Week by Hannah Weil 1/31/12 0 Reactions 33 Shares Print 8 5 20 0 0 With New York Fashion Week only a couple of weeks away, we're admittedly preoccupied with what we'll be wearing. Sure, the runways take center stage, but killer street style is half the fun. To that end, we're handpicking our favorite pieces to pack for the action because you never know when you might get snapped. Here's a little fodder for your outfit planning and a peek at the essentials we'll be packing this season: Keep your outerwear functional and stylish by investing in a go-with-anything anorak. A piece like this transitions seamlessly from day to night and pairs well with just about everything, trust us. Look for added luxe in a great pair of earrings. High necklines and layers might cover up a pretty necklace, but a gorgeous pair of drop earrings will lend a glam touch that won't get lost in your look. Ditch your blue jeans in favor of slick leather. A pair of leather pants looks infinitely more polished than your faded denim — think of this as your Fashion Week basic, then add on your cozy knits to contrast. As far as footwear is concerned, keep it practical. A pair of strappy heels might look great, but chances are you'll be pretty chilly. Swap out stilettos for a bootie with a substantial block heel or a walkable platform. Keep a cool loafer or oxford on hand for staying stylish on the run. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Walkable cute booties that look even better contrasted again slick leather and a mohair sweater. Ash Jalouse Suede Booties ($235) 1 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gryphon's statement coats were made for showing off — if ever there was a time and a place, it would be Fashion Week. If all else fails, we've got a gorgeous coat to safeguard our look. Gryphon Tamarindo Coat ($645) 2 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We'll throw on this pretty accent piece to transform a tired look in a snap. Need Supply Ikat Cuff Bracelet ($16) 3 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Layer this denim jacket underneath your outerwear to contrast leather bottoms for the quintessential downtown vibe. J.Crew Bianca Denim Jacket ($98) 4 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The coziest way to bundle up — a snood or scarf is essential and we love one in a basic palette that we can grab on the go. Duffy Wool and Cashmere Blend Snood ($175) 6 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A playful way to dress up our jeans and minis — the dots on this are sweet and just dressy enough to style up a going-out look in a pinch. Sophie Hulme for Asos Matte Sequin T-Shirt ($76, originally $152) 6 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This pretty pastel crossbody bag will lighten your look (literally!) — the color palette is a cool nod to Spring and the shape is ideal for throwing on with anything. Topshop Lemon Snake Twist Lock Bag ($50) 7 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A faux fur vest adds warmth and style — we love layering it up under and over our looks for texture and luxe. BB Dakota Garrett Faux Fur Vest ($79) 8 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This season, we're embracing the statement earring — dressing up on the go was never easier than adding a pair of beautiful earrings. Topshop Wrapped Bomb Drop Earrings ($28) 9 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This dress balances a statement pattern with an easy silhouette, making it perfect for dashing from shows during the day to parties at night. Markus Lupfer Stripe Dress with Sequin Cuff ($500) 11 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Phillip Lim's Pashli satchel is a gorgeous carry-all that can hold notes, an iPad, schedules, and more without skimping on style. Plus, it goes with everything. 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel ($895) 11 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A basic pair of black booties (we like ours with a bit of a platform) are a no-brainer to finish any look — from miniskirts to our favorite denim, a pair like this never lets you down, feels dressed up (but not overdressed), and lends that cool-girl factor we're always after. BCBGeneration Pallin Bootie ($110) 12 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Utilitarian with a hint of luxe, this parka is the perfect function-meets-fashion kind of outerwear. Marc by Marc Jacobs Delancey Parka Coat ($689) 13 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't underestimate the bright glow of Winter sun; you still need a pair of shades to keep you covered. These Karen Walker frames hit that perfect classic and on-trend styling note. Karen Walker Modified Cateye Sunglasses ($180) 14 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 An essential slouchy knit like this could be reworked over and over again with leather pants, a pretty skirt, and bright jewels to up the ante. J.Crew Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater ($248) 15 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When our tootsies tire of heels, these have enough wow factor to dress up our looks at Lincoln Center. Steve Madden Melter Flat ($140) 16 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A pair of leather pants are a cool update, and unlike our blue jeans, they'll provide a sleeker contrast to cozy knits. Blank NYC Vegan Leather Super Skinny ($88) 17 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The easiest, sexiest of boyfriend-style button-ups can serve us well into the week, taking on a preppy, classic, or laid-back feel just depending on how we opt to style it up (read: this is a total wardrobe essential). Diane von Furstenberg Karin Blouse ($198) 18 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We like our Winter wear with a little personality and these leopard-print gloves deliver that, but are a subtle enough accent to still pair well with almost anything we own. Asos Leather Leopard Cut Away Lady Gloves ($32) 19 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A pretty printed skirt like this one is ideal for balancing big, bulky layers.

Voting at one pop-up polling site got off to a rough start on Election Day. One of two generators that was to be used to illuminate the tents set up in Rockaway Park, Queens was out before voters even got to the site.
A Fox 5 News truck helped illuminate the tents at P.S. 180 for displaced residents to vote Tuesday morning using paper ballots.
New York City Board of Elections President Maria Guastella was being interviewed during Good Day New York when word came in of the problem.
Earlier in the interview, Guastella said she had not heard of any issues at the temporary voting sites.
"We are working closely with FEMA. They immediately dispatch a team out to make sure all the sites are up and running," Guastella told Good Day New York.
FEMA is responsible for providing the generators, portable bathrooms and gasoline to fill the generators at the voting tents across New York City.
"Please call the complaints in and we will notify FEMA,"said Guastella.
Long lines, confusion, and other problems were also reported at many other polling sites in the city, including ones that had to take on displaced sites.
Even Mayor Michael Bloomberg had a problem, DNAinfo.com reported. The poll worker couldn't find the mayor's name in the voter roll, so she let him find it -- that is a violation of BOE policy.
The number to report a problem at a polling site in New York City is: 212-VOTE-NYC or visit Vote.NYC.NY.US
On Long Island, a Nassau County elections commissioner says there were "hiccups" getting some polling places open in the aftermath of the superstorm.
William Viamont said Tuesday that included some places that initially didn't have generators.
Some places hadn't had machines delivered.
In one case, the poll workers' bus came at 7 a.m. instead of 5 a.m.
Viamont says that by about 8 a.m., most of the problems had been resolved.
On Staten Island, school officials say several residents showed up at an original voting location, the Staten Island Academy.
There was no official signage at the academy saying the polling place had been moved. So the private school made a hand-written sign and placed it outside the driveway.
For anybody who arrived on foot, a city bus was ready to shuttle voters to the correct location.
A voter also complained to Fox 5 News about problems at a Manhattan polling location. They complained that none of the poll workers spoke English and the scene was in chaos.
To find your voting location in NYC, visit Vote.NYC.NY.US
Voters in New Jersey unable to get to the polls because they were displaced by the storm or are working on recovery efforts can vote by fax, email or via a provisional ballot from any polling place in the state.
Those who want to vote by email or fax must waive their right to a private ballot. They can apply for the ballots until 5 p.m. Tuesday and return them until poll-closing time at 8 p.m.

Police executed a search warrant on a Chinese restaurant in Westerly after several patrons became victims of credit card fraud.
Westerly Police say that while investigating dozens of complaints regarding fraudulent credit and debit card purchases they recognized that each of the victims had used the card at the China Buffet restaurant.
Each of the victims were in possession of their cards when the fraudulent purchases were made.
As a result of the investigation police obtained a search warrant and seized credit card scanner, computers, cash registers, and other electronic equipment. No arrests have been made in the matter yet but detectives say after an investigation they expect to charge several individuals involved.
China Buffet remains open but on Thursday evening it operated on a cash only basis.

FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) -- A state health official says flu season appears to have peaked in West Virginia.
State Bureau for Public Health influenza coordinator Shannon McBee says every region in the state has reported fewer flu cases.
McBee says the state has dropped below the baseline for influenza after being above it for eight consecutive weeks.
The baseline is 2.2 percent of patients seeking treatment for ailments that have or exhibit influenza-like symptoms.
But McBee says the flu is still out there, along with other viral illnesses. Residents are advised to continue preventive measures such as washing hands.

Menlo Park: Changes in Stanford/Arrillaga project on El Camino please some, not others

I urge interested and awake citizens to read the staff report prepared for the 16 April meeting. It is detailed and thoughtful.
Web Link
Note in particular this process comment:
"Staff believes the current process is functioning as intended by the Specific Plan, with
the revisions being pursued by the applicant as evidence that key issues are being
identified from public input and Planning Commission direction, and are being
subsequently addressed. Although details on the environmental review (in particular,
regarding traffic) have not been provided to date, they are being worked on and are
required to be addressed in full prior to any potential project actions. As noted
throughout this report, the proposal is required to meet an extensive set of regulations
and guidelines contained in the Specific Plan, which were established through a
transparent and community-oriented process that looked at opportunities and
challenges on a comprehensive basis for El Camino Real and Downtown. The review
process for this individual development proposal is generally proceeding carefully and
deliberately, and is being informed by applicable analysis."
on Apr 12, 2013 at 12:24 pm
Thomas Rogers, who wrote the staff report, stood up at a Planning Commission meeting and stated, for the record, that removing Stanford from the Specific Plan would be straightforward and simple. I guess he's hoping no one reads the staff report.
We residents (and may I emphasize "resident") need to ask why our city is employing a planner who wants to impose a San Francisco aesthetic on our suburban community and who seems to be in the pocket of developers. This kind of brownnosing the moneyed interests may help his career and increase the likelihood of his making more money in his next job, but it doesn't help Menlo Park one iota.
Time to find a new city planner, preferably one who lives here and understands our city. We're not a wannabe SF. Meanwhile, Stanford properties need to be taken out of the Specific Plan. The plan was intended to encourage development in the downtown/station corridor, not to give our rich university neighbor the chance to plunder our city.

"Stanford properties need to be taken out of the Specific Plan."
Please read the report:
"With regard to the possibility of removing the subject parcels from the Specific Plan,
staff believes this scenario would likely be more complex than other major Plan
modification options. The subject parcels have been a key focus of the entire Vision
Plan and Specific Plan processes, and the concept of their redevelopment is embedded
within all sections of the Specific Plan and the Program EIR. A complete removal of
these parcels from the Plan would require significant technical revisions, and could even
result in new environmental impacts depending on the attributes of the replacement
zoning. For example, the C-4 (ECR) zoning that was preempted by the Specific Plan did
not require any front setback, in contrast to the ECR SE zoning that requires a 10- to
20-foot setback in order to provide a significantly expanded sidewalk. Similarly, without
the Specific Plan, the requirements for the Burgess Park Linkage/Open Space Plaza
and LEED Silver certification would no longer apply, which could result in new and
unanticipated impacts."
And Stanford and Arrillaga would simply walk away and leave their properties vacant if the city even starts down this road. Developers not only want but must have certainty with respect to the rules for development. If you remove that certainty by pulling the rug out from under the years long process that led to the Specific Plan then all developers, including Stanford, will retire to the sidelines and wait a very long time until they are certain of 1 - what the rules are and 2 - that those rules won't be changed the minute that they submit a new project to the city.

"Thomas Rogers, who wrote the staff report, stood up at a Planning Commission meeting and stated, for the record, that removing Stanford from the Specific Plan would be straightforward and simple."
It would be easy to remove ECR-East from the Specific Plan. What is very difficult is then to develop new zoning for that area which is consistent with the adjacent ECR zones. And what is even more difficult is dealing with the consequences for potential developers/investors of removing a zone from a brand new Specific Plan - see above.
on Apr 12, 2013 at 2:35 pm
I would like to see an ordinance that no buildings can be taller than the trees in Menlo Park.
Also, I think Stanford should be forced to pay the property taxes. This enterprise is commercial and is not for furthering education. Apartment buildings, retail and professional space. The link to furthering education is tenuous at best.
We pay a lot of rent/mortgage payments and those of us who live between Middlefield and El Camino put up with a lot of road noise already. I don't understand these ratios of 1.5 jobs to 1 housing unit and such. They seem artificial. We are not all going to jog, walk or bike to work. Sorry, that's just reality. I don't want to live where I work. Your home is supposed to be a restful place from the world.

PLEASE do your homework:
"The applicant has indicated that the 500 El Camino Real proposal is intended at this
time to be a revenue-producing property, not an educational or hospital/non-profit facility
for the benefit of Stanford University. Staff believes that the proposal's location (noncontiguous to the main Stanford campus and on a high-visibility corridor) and design
(with regard to amenities and aesthetics) are consistent with the Stanford-owned 2825-
2895 Sand Hill Road office-hotel complex, which is an investment project for the
University that generates full property tax revenues for the City. "

Once Menlo Park *residents* realize the size, scope and mix of the development that Stanford is currently proposing for the gateway into Menlo Park, they're going to be shocked.
on Apr 12, 2013 at 3:04 pm
This type of anti development opposition occurred 25 years ago when the Kepler's - Cafe Borrone Building was proposed. Similar fears and dire warnings highlighted by traffic. Their fears were not realized. Quite the opposite.
Fortunately we had strong leaders at the time who based their decisions on the facts in the staff and environmental reports - not the misinformation campaigns of a few neighborhood activists.
Where have all the leaders gone?
on Apr 12, 2013 at 4:08 pm
Oh, right, and people objected to the Golden Gate Bridge too. Therefore, every project that draws public objection should be automatically approved. Is that written in the Rabblerouser's Guide to Politics?
I don't remember opposition to the Kepler's/Borrone project, though I expect there was some. But how can you compare? Kepler's had been a much-loved institution for years; many of us were glad to see it move to bigger quarters. And the cafe-with-plaza combo? Exactly what the consultants promised us for the specific plan! Also note that Kepler's/Borrone is appropriately sized for the site. Whereas this proposed monstrosity, with only a narrow strip separating it from El Camino, is going to loom over the street. We keep seeing references to five stories, but it's actually 60 feet high. (That is not what the people wanted, by the way. I went to the meetings.)
We can and should return those parcels to their prior zone. Then, and only then, will the proposal be given the scrutiny it demands.

And, most important, Stanford and Arrillaga would simply walk away and leave these properties vacant if the city even starts down this road. Or Stanford could simply develop these properties for academic uses with NO benefit to the city.
Stanford has listened to feedback from the community and modified its proposal. The new proposal fully complies with the Specific Plan. Cline states ""But I don't think we're done talking." I think he will be surprised to find that Stanford has no interest in any discussions which involve changes from what is clearly permitted by the Specific Plan.
This project will produce hundreds of thousands of dollars in permit fees and millions in property taxes and critically needed housing. Menlo Park's housing plan update is a part of a lawsuit settlement over the city's failure to comply with state housing law for the past 10 years. To catch up, Menlo Park has to find sites where zoning changes could allow construction of about 900 new housing units - the Stanford project provides 170 such units NOW.
Any sensible community would welcome it with open arms - as do the majority of residents of Menlo Park.
on Apr 12, 2013 at 4:23 pm
Oh, what can the disgruntled champions of "small town feel" do? How about calling the process "flawed" or maybe personal attacks on the planner assigned to present it to council and commissions? Better yet, just snipe at it with fake figures like "one project [the largest by far, on seven parcels] will eat up 90% of the allowed development!"? Or "office buildings cause herpes!"? Hey, this is fun!
on Apr 12, 2013 at 5:05 pm
We can't build our single-story residences so close to the street. Why should an enormous building be permitted such a tiny setback? Obvious answer: it shouldn't!
No need to quote the staff report. Rogers says one thing there; his statement is not consistent with other statements he's made. It's his opinion, not gospel, and just the latest example of his inability to serve the people who pay his salary.
Stanford isn't going anywhere! If the zoning reverts to the former zoning, they will develop the properties to the extent allowed. (It would probably be best for all of us if Stanford sold that land. But they won't.) Stanford has also said that they will not be paying property tax. I'm not sure how they're going to make that happen, but Bill McClure is no match for their lawyers.
The project, as currently proposed, will consume most of the allowable development. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to read the plan, study the EIR, take Stanford's numbers, and do some really simple arithmetic.

"The project, as currently proposed, will consume most of the allowable development"
WRONG. The Plan established a residential use net cap of 680 units and a non-residential use cap, including retail, office, and hotel, of 474,000 square feet. This Project would use 25% of the residential use cap and he non-residential development for this Project is estimated to use 45% of the Plan's development cap.

PLEASE do your homework before making this and your other equally erroneous statements.

What happened to the hotel the planners and plan participants were counting on? Did or didn't Stanford indicate they were going to build a hotel in this location?
on Apr 12, 2013 at 6:54 pm

" Did or didn't Stanford indicate they were going to build a hotel in this location?"
No, Stanford did not indicate that they were going to build a hotel in ECR-East.
Here is the staff report to the Planning Commission - which I have posted at least 6 time on this Forum - PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK and read the other postings before you ask a question which has already been answered numerous times:
"The subject applicant, Stanford University, participated throughout the entire planning process, in particular by serving as a City Council-designated representative on the Oversight and Outreach Committee. In public correspondence and through remarks at meetings, the applicant repeatedly supported the community planning process and stated an intent to pursue a comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment proposal in compliance with the adopted Plan. At various points, the applicant provided detail-type critiques of some draft regulations and Draft EIR elements, but did not submit correspondence or make in-meeting remarks that committed to a particular type of future development proposal, nor did the Planning Commission or City Council make findings that their Plan-related actions were based on any particular assumption of what the applicant ultimately might propose on this site."
on Apr 12, 2013 at 8:01 pm
actually, depending on location and lot size you CAN build your single story house as close to the street as allowed in the zoning for this project. Please see the post by Peter above. The setbacks are 10 to 20 feet. 20 feet is the front setback for standard lots in Menlo Park. Some substandard lots allow 10 foot set backs and that's for single family home zoning areas.
So, as Peter has repeatedly said, do your homework before you make erroneous statements. This project has 10 to 20 foot setbacks WHICH IS MORE THAN THE PREVIOUS ZONING REQUIRED! Under the previous zoning they could have built much closer to the street.

There are two sad parts of this situation.
First, none of the opponents except Brielle Johnck seem to able to present any facts ('I oppose this horrible project but I really don't know anything about it, or about the rules, or.....).
Second, that the city council has backed itself into a totally inescapable corner. Next Tuesday the council will have only two alternatives - either sit quietly and allow the proper process to proceed via the planning commission (thereby causing Keith and Kline to lose face because of the dashed hopes that their actions have created for the opponents) or to exercise the nuclear option and begin to revise the Specific Plan (in which case the issue becomes moot because there will no longer be an applicant or a project.)
It will be very interesting to see how the council decides - if Mueller is recused then they may be saved by tie votes that will preclude doing anything.
on Apr 14, 2013 at 7:41 pm
How about all of these nay sayers that want to change the approved zoning the minute a conforming proposal is made come up with a plan of their own that would return income to Stanford equal to any proposals that conform.
Perhaps they should ante up a fund to build a strip park and their much loved tunnel under the tracks and lease the land from Stanford. If they want to keep changing the rules every time a proposal is made the city may end up having to do what Palo Alto had to do with the land the became the Arastradero Preserve - buy it at a pretty high price. (or in the case of the Stanford lands lease it).
Peter Carpenter is quite right - the current attitudes of the obsessive "I don't like anything" crowd have a high likelihood of creating another decade of an abandoned and unsightly strip of buildings that add nothing of benefit to anyone.
on Apr 14, 2013 at 8:10 pm
another voice of reason. Thank you.
on Apr 15, 2013 at 12:00 pm
"How about all of these nay sayers that want to change the approved zoning the minute a conforming proposal " ???
it works both ways, actually. How about this:
""How about all of these developers that want to change the approved zoning the minute they have a project"", such as the Glenwood Inn project not conforming to parking without the city changing the rules.
on Apr 15, 2013 at 4:00 pm
Glen Wood:
agreed. Teh city never should have granted parking rights to the developers of that project. They were flat out wrong to do it. Juat as they will be wrong if teh rezone teh Stanford parcels.

JOPLIN, Mo. — As a child in Germany's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Marion Blumenthal Lazan focused on finding four pebbles of the same shape and size. Success would mean that the four members of her family would survive the Nazi camp, she rationalized with a 9-year-old's innocence.
"This game gave me something to hold onto, some distant hope," Lazan said Monday night. "I made it my business to find those four pebbles."
Lazan, now 78, shared the memory from a camp in northwest Germany for several hundred people in a packed auditorium at Missouri Southern State University. It's a story she's told publicly for more than 30 years, and wrote about in a book, "Four Perfect Pebbles: A Holocaust Story," published in 1996. It's a story that Lazan urged her audience - especially younger ones - to pass along as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles.
"It is your generation that is the last generation that will hear these stories firsthand," she said. "When we are not here anymore, it is you who will have to bear witness."
Lazan was the younger child of a Jewish family living above its shoe store in Germany in the 1930s. The Blumenthals — father Walter, mother Ruth, son Albert and daughter Marion — received papers they needed to immigrate to the United States as the Nazi party began its crusade against the Jews. In 1939, they left for Holland, from where they would depart.
But, in May 1940, one month before they were scheduled to leave for the United States, the Germans invaded Holland. The family was trapped at Westerbork transit camp.
They remained there nearly four years, until January 1944, when they and other Jews were shipped out in cattle cars for a Nazi camp in eastern Europe. Lazan and the other young children were naively "glad for the change of environment," she said. The adults feared what lie ahead.

Infor came out with two significant announcements this morning. Based on a briefing that Infor gave me yesterday, they point to a major strategic shift in direction. Infor's 70,000 customers should take note.
Two announcements
First, Infor announced something called Infor ION, which is a set of software services for application integration, document-based communication, and business process management, across Infor's own applications and non-Infor systems. Infor ION subsumes (my word) Infor's previous work on Open SOA, which was aimed at integrating Infor's existing applications portfolio. Infor is promoting ION as an alternative to "high cost middleware implementations." ION is currently in development, scheduled for release in Q4.
Second, Infor is moving all new product development to Microsoft's technology stack. The elements of the stack include Windows Server, MS Single Sign-On, MS Reporting Services, SQL Server, Silverlight, and Sharepoint. Infor will continue to develop its applications that run on other platforms, such as its IBM Series i and mainframe applications. But all new development will be all Microsoft.
It also means that Infor will deliberately abandon development of its own technology and tools. For example, in the briefing Infor said it was walking away from its own workflow engine development, its own Clear UX user-interface (which it had acquired), and its own efforts to build portal technology using open-source.
A strategic shift for Infor
These two announcements, taken together, represent a major change in product direction for Infor. Here is my evaluation:
- Infor is right to give up trying to be a tools developer. There are very few application software vendors that successfully develop proprietary tools or technologies. (The only successful vendor, to my knowledge, is SAP, with its ABAP language–but that's only because ABAP dates from the early 1990s, when client/server development tools were not adequate for what SAP needed. Oracle is another, but Oracle is a technology/tools vendor first and an apps vendor second. Same with Microsoft.)There are major benefits for Infor in walking away from tools development. First, it frees up product development funds to focus on the thing that Infor customers really need: continued development, enhancement, and integration of Infor's applications portfolio. Second, by using Microsoft standard technology, it should also allow Infor to get there quicker with its ION integration and business process management framework. Third, it allows Infor to more easily recruit and retain product development and implementation personnel, as they will be working with technologies that are broadly supported in the marketplace. Finally, it is more attractive for customers, who won't need to have their IT personnel trained in another set of tools.
- Alignment with Microsoft is the probably the best choice. It's something of a surprise, as Infor has mostly been thought of as more IBM-centric than anything else. But Microsoft is a better choice than IBM for standardizing its technology. Our research at Computer Economics shows that nearly every data center has Microsoft Server in its OS mix. The same cannot be said for any other operating system. This is especially true in the small company and mid-market, where Microsoft Windows averages more than 70% of the data center processing workload. Coming to its installed based with new products based on the Microsoft stack is an easy sell–not so if the stack were IBM's.Does this bring Infor into competition with Microsoft's own Dynamics enterprise software business? No more so than for any of the many other Microsoft-based vendors, such as Epicor. Furthermore, there is a huge upside for Microsoft, as the partnership represents a potentially bigger footprint for Microsoft among Infor's 70,000 customers.
I do have one area of question, and that is concerning leadership. It's an open secret than Infor has lost several key executives recently, most notably Jeff Ralyea, formerly VP of product management and Bruce Gordon, formerly Infor's CTO. These individuals were key architects of Infor's Open SOA strategy, which is now incorporated in Infor ION.
Does Infor have the right team in place now to move forward? Infor assured me that it does. The product strategy is being headed up by Soma Somasundaram, Senior VP of Global Product Development, who has a long history with Infor, going back to when it was Agilisys. He will work closely with Jeff Abbot, who is now in charge of both product marketing and product management. In terms of developers, Infor assures me that the bench is deep, with resources worldwide.
As indicated earlier, ION is still in development with release planned for Q4. That will be a key milestone to evaluate the success of Infor's new strategy. In the meantime, I believe the strategic direction is right. But execution is key.
If you are an Infor customer or Infor partner, please let me know your view on these announcements. Is Infor on the right track? Leave a comment on this post, or email me confidentially.

Check out This Mind-Blowing SFX Tutorial That Shows Some Skin for Less Than $250
You know — there's more than one way to skin a guy's arm. The London-based filmmakers of the short film He Took His Skin Off For Me have come up with a unique and intriguing premise for a film: a "story of a man who takes his skin off for his girlfriend, and why it probably wasn't the best idea." If that's blowing your mind right now, just take a gander at their tutorial that shows you how they created the "skinless" SFX. If you have $250 and a team of dedicated and talented artists and filmmakers, you could be well on your way to making excuses to make a film about people with no skin. Check out the tutorial, videos, photos, and a few words from director Ben Aston after the jump. More »

All good things must end!

All good things must end!
Today I came home and joined the ranks of the unemployed. It is somewhat hard to suddenly find yourself out of a job. For almost twenty seven years I have had a very rewarding career, one that most people would never want to lose. Some days the work was nonstop, meetings with contractors here and employees there. This report or that spreadsheet had to get out before the day ended. If a major system of our building went down I was the one responsible to get a crew working on it and meet with upper management to keep them informed of the status. Then there were those days when it was so slow that I was actually bored. But today that all ended.
I worked hard through my career to get to where I was. I started out as a forklift operator loading trucks and shipping tax forms across the country. After a couple of years, management saw I had mechanical skills so they sent me to the office appliance repair shop (yes the IRS had one of those). I spent nine years unjamming staplers, adjusting mail sorting machines and working on machinery in general.
All that eventually led to a nine year stint as the building maintenance manager. No matter what happened in our building, I was the guy who got the phone call when something went wrong. I was fortunate in having a topnotch crew who responded to any problem and made things right with the world. Then, in 2004, the government said, "Hey, let's outsource these guys". My position was abolished and I faced losing my job, and this is right after we had bought the barnyard and BOB.
Luck held out and I found myself qualified to oversee the maintenance contract that was set up for the contractor who took over all of the building operations. I was saved and given the position of Building Maintenance Specialist/Building Management Consultant. I was still the guy who ran the operations but I didn't have a crew to be responsible for. This is a somewhat busy at times, slow at others position. I feel I did quite well with it these past seven plus years and really enjoyed the work.
And then today, BOOM, it all came to a screeching halt. I will survive! I walked out the door with my head held high, knowing that I gave it my all. It was no big surprise but it still weighed heavy on my mind. I am looking forward to spending more time working with my Cubs and hopefully getting more done with the walls and floor on BOB.
I knew this was coming; in fact I pretty much brought it on myself a couple of weeks ago, because I'm the one who told the boss, "I'm retiring July 27th"!
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

MP battles for diabetics' aid
8:00am Friday 24th January 2014 in News
Oxford West and Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood has asked whether the Department of Health will review its guidance on the provision of insulin pumps on the NHS.
Her question follows recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) on the use of pump therapy to treat Type 1 diabetes.
NICE has recommended use of insulin pumps as possible diabetes treatment for adults and children aged 12 upwards.
Ms Blackwood wanted to discuss the issue of variation between trusts in the prescription of insulin pumps.
She submitted a written question on Tuesday on the subject in the House of Commons which health minister Jane Ellison replied to.
Ms Ellison said: "It is the responsibility of NHS England to ensure commissioners and providers make insulin pumps available for those people with diabetes who meet the criteria recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
"Earlier this month, NHS England published Action for Diabetes, which sets out the steps it is taking to improve outcomes for people with and at risk of diabetes."

Pay It Forward starts off in the heart of Lubbock near the intersection of 34th and Avenue Q. We hit the pavement in search of our weekly playmaker.
Within minutes, we meet Gene Mathis who recognized our sign. Gene calls his wife who knows a family friend who could use some help.
We make the trek across Lubbock where we are introduced to Dean Porr who runs a local day care center. She has a family member who is ill and she has medical bills that need to be met. We surprised Dean at her doorstep where Gene makes someone's life a little better.
Dean expressed gratitude towards Gene and his wife and thanked him for thinking of her. Gene mentioned afterwards that it felt good to help someone who could really use it. Pay It Forward ends happily for everyone involved.
Be looking for our Pay It Forward sign soon. You may be the next person who makes a difference for someone on the South Plains.

Style Map
Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Thirteen-year-old blogging sensations are just the beginning. For Spring, designers kicked their youth obsession up a notch by indulging in some Lolita fantasies. Christopher Kane drew inspiration directly from the Kubrick movie for his sweet gingham baby-doll dresses, and Stella McCartney's off-the-shoulder ruffled blouse and Moschino Cheap & Chic's retro two-piece and floppy sun hat might also have been plucked directly from the film's costume department. At Prada, meanwhile, itty-bitty pinafores were paired with pigtails, red lips, and plastic shades—the only thing missing was a cherry lollipop.
Click here to see a slideshow, and tell us whether or not you'll be flaunting the nymphet look.
I like the lolita, sweetheart look. It is good to bring everyone out of winter with these bright, fun and young looks.
I wouldn't do it totally all the way maybe a little girly shirt or skirt. If I had to wear anything from this lolita selection it would be either Pradas or Stella McCartney's version of it.
The playful, youthful, lolita look is great! So cute and whimsical, with fantasy thrown in, it reminds me of daring Japanese girls. I love the bows and hearts.
I think its cute and fun. Love all the colors.
I laughed so hard when I saw this! A month ago I made a style.com lookbook on looks inspired by Lolita. And now style.com comes with this!
Oh gosh I love this I think they're so cute
EW! I mean, some of the clothes themselves are cute, but the fact that a fashion is being based off of the idea of sexy, underage girls is DISGUSTING!
Not to mention people will be even MORE confused with the OTHER lolita fashion – the one that's been around for YEARS and already has a tough time being explained to people who only know the definition presented in Nabokov's book "Lolita"!
HOLY ******* **** BATMAN! The fact that a fashion is being based off of SEXY UNDERAGE GIRLS is absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!
Not to mention the fact that the OTHER lolita fashion, the one that started YEARS ago in Japan and is very modest, will be even harder to explain to people who only know the definition Nabokov's novel created now!! If THIS fashion weren't being called lolita as well, it wouldn't be so bad, but it still remains disusting that fashion designers would use such a disgusting concept to create clothes!!
i love this look United bamboo does this it the best check is out @ http://www.unitedbamboo.com
O my God what a disaster is this style, okay it's fun and looks young, but I can't believe that young woman would wear these designs on the streets of whatever city. It's fun when you have a party at college and perhaps for some teen girls. No I have my doubt about this style and till sofar I havent seen any girl/young woman wearing it. Despite that I don't like this style I wanted to make some exceptions and that are the designs of Kane, Goldin, Luella and Milly. These are very weareble for a younger person.
I am very excited by these looks! Even the older women of fashion by using their creative brains can cook up somthing cute and fresh! It's really nice to see after the strong dark looks that have been pulled of recently. If your struggling grasping it..stop taking yourself and your style so seriously.
Although I have not read the story, Lolita seems to be a great inspiration for designers. For those of us feeling old it's almost a glimpse of hope. This style allows women to feel like the imaginitve little girls we once were. I will take bits and pieces here and there to create my own Lolita Look. It may not have derived from the best of places but to bring light to an otherwise akward birthing, I believe this is refreshing take on it.
uh…this is not lolita. Lolita is a fashion style started in the 1980′s from Japan based on Victorian clothing.
I absolutely love this look, I've always loved dressing this way so I'm glad it's back in fashion!
These looks are more "pin-up" than Lolita to me. Either way, this is the look women in porn duplicate most often. I don't see it as fashion.
I work with teenagers and while I think some of these looks would be scary to see on them, I think the point is look of the late 1940′s and early 1950′s. My Nana, 80, was a young women during this time and she said that it was a time of style for everyone!
Most of the models looked too old for the clothing (and none were probably over 22). I prefer that my clothing doesn't look like something a toddler would wear. Do designers get together and simply make versions of the same theme every season? It really is becoming ridiculous.
These "Lolita looks" are obviosly not designed by men.
ya i like the original lolita style from japan the clothes are more cute than these.these have high fashion but they dont rele grasp the true lolita style
these designers have it all wrong. it not the lolita fashion. sure its high fashion but the concept is all wrong and its not about looking like sexy underage girls.
Lolita is a Japanese street fashion inspired primarily by the clothing and general aesthetics of the Rococo and Victorian periods. This fashion movement started in Japan in the 1980′s and has evolved greatly since. Nowadays Lolita Fashion has grown to be relatively popular all over the world. Relatively popular for an obscure Japanese street fashion, that is.
for more info for the real lolita style go to this link. http://www.lolitafashion.org
love it. I love fantastic fashion. It's based off of dolls.
There's too much discussion of the term in reference to the book or film…. these are great beach things, when it's too hot for anything else…. much more preferable then overexposure, that is, too much skin… in any case, real perversion is adding content or meaning where none was intended
Very cute, but this would only look good on skinny, and tall girls, hence models.
It astounds me how uneducated many of you are. Lolita as it is known in popular culture today originated from Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel of the same name. The Japanese fashion came afterwards. This trend is based on the film version of Nabokov's book by Stanley Kubrick and therefore actually represents the REAL 'Lolita'. Please don't bother replying unless you bother to read books as well as blogs.
I like these looks because its simply my style. I like the fun colors like pink and blue, and i like preppy and scene and this is what that looks like. I love the first outfit in the slide show too.
I love the way this was put together from such a range of designers' collections.
And I like the look in general. I'd always thought of my own style as clean, simple, Jackie Kennedy meets Audrey Hepburn. The truth is, I've played around with these girly, early 50s references all the time. Simply because I've got long legs in proportion to my height, and could get away with it.
It's interesting how emotional people are getting on the subject. This is about fun, girls! It's not a moral stance, it's just, as people are saying, something fresh, fantasy, a new take on earlier looks, and frankly, hats off to Romney and whoever helped him/her edit these photos.
And while we're at it, to michusucho for predicting this a month ago. I'll have to check out his/her blog now.
As for the Japanese movement – which did come several decades after the book – I'll stick to that rule that 'if you don't have anything nice to say..'
jill @ http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/
This is not lolita its trashy clothes from the 50′s reall lolita as in the japanese lolita is reall lolita as a designer myself it really makes me upset that this is out there and has been causing rude comments to those that wear the reall japanese lolita. When naming a clothing line such as when done here it should be looked into to see if there were other lines that had the same name.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.http://www.dress-shop.com
UMMM WTF?! this is NOT lolita…This is some bastardized crap that is nothing like the original
I love the lolita fashion. In fact I occasionally dress up lolita. I love the frills. I tried to post one of my pics but can't.

Washington did not let its 14-game winning streak end without a fight. The Capitals scored three goals in the third period to send the game into overtime only to see the Canadiens score with eight seconds left in the extra period to win, 6-5, in Montreal.
Tomas Plekanec scored his second goal of the game at 4:52 of overtime to give the Canadiens (29-26-6) the victory.
Washington (41-12-7) lost for the first time in nearly a month, falling three wins short of the NHL-record of 17 straight victories set by Pittsburgh in 1992-93.
The loss also snapped Washington goalie Jose Theodore's 10-game winning streak, leaving him tied for the franchise record. Theodore came on in relief of starter Michal Neuvirth, who left the game after reportedly aggravating a previous knee injury early in the second period.
The Capitals sent the game into overtime when Brooks Laich scored with 18.4 seconds left in the third period and Theodore off for an extra skater.
Trailing 5-2 after Plekanec scored Montreal's fourth goal of the second with 1:04 left in the period, Washington battled back with three goals in the third -- including two by Laich.
Montreal played an agressive game, against a much better skilled Capitals team, getting on the scoreboard early when Scott Gomez took advantage of his team's forecheck , beating Neuvirth for his ninth goal of the season.
The Canadiens kept the pressure on, but Laich struck back just under six minutes later for Washington, slipping past a sleeping Montreal defense and putting a fancy deke on Carey Price.
Montreal kept up their aggressive play, for the rest of the period, keeping the Capitals at bay and shutting down the leagues No. 1 power play for over four minutes.
The period ended on a frightening note, when Josh Gorges attempted to block a Mike Green shot and took the blast off the side of his helmet. The team doctor rushed out immediately and after some tense minutes, Gorges got up under his own power and was escorted off the ice, bleeding from the ear area of his helmet.
The Canadiens should have more information on the extent of Gorges' injury sometime Thursday, but early prognosis is that he will be ok.
Montreal's aggressive tactics continued into the second period, when a strong forecheck led to Tom Pyatt's first NHL goal 41 seconds into the period.
"It took me a while (20 games), but it's nice to get that first one out of the way," Pyatt said. "You automatically feel better when you get any kind of goal."
The Capitals, and Alexander Ovechkin responded hastily in a fashion they are known for just 30 seconds later, as Ovechkin set up Niklas Backstrom to tie the game at two.
In light of the jeers from the Bell Centre crowd, Theodore came up with some big saves against the team that gave him his start in the NHL.The former Hart and Vezina trophy winner with the Canadiens finally caved, on the power play, when David Desharnais' shot deflected off the skate of Glen Metropolit. It was follwed just 12 seconds later by a Maxim Laperre goal, giving the Canadiens a two goal lead.
The Capitals thought they had a goal back, and they should have, when Ovechkin plowed into Hal Gill, knocking the Canadiens defender, Price and the puck into the net. The goal was disallowed, which drove the Capital bench ballistic. Earlier in the period, a Gill poke check on Ovechkin caused a too-many-men minor against Washington.
Montreal closed out the first 40 minutes with a three goal lead, after Kostitisyn set up Plekanec's 16th goal with just more than a minute to play, and left the ice to a standing ovation.
The Canadiens continued some exceptional play in the offensive zone, with Kostitsyn emerging as the player he was thought to be when he was drafted from the London Knights. The Belarusian set up many opportunities and had many chnaces of his own.
As a Montreal power play ended with just under 12 minutes remaining, Laich scored his second of the night on a two-on-one rush.
Washington continued to fight back, and with the net empty and 18 seconds to play, Laich found the net for the hat trick sending the game into overtime.
The Canadiens managed to keep Ovechkin and company to just two shots in the extra time, and Plekanec found the back of the net, with just eight seconds remaining, for the win.
"I liked the way we battled, especially the way we reacted in overtime," Martin said. "We came back after that late goal, and we never gave them a sniff in over time. Tonight we found a way to win it."
Martin also praised the play and character of Carey Price, who made 34 saves, some very difficult, for the win after going two weeks without a start.
"Over the last few weeks I've been working my ass off, and looking for the rewards," Price said. "The guys played hard and they scored some goals for me against a team that likes to run and gun.

Seattle Sounders forward Eddie Johnson was fined an undisclosed amount by the MLS Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday for making an "inappropriate gesture" he made toward Chicago Fire fans. A fan video appears to show him making the gesture as he was walking off the field following Saturday's game.
"I sincerely apologize to the Chicago fans, my teammates, MLS, and the Sounders' supporters for my actions and poor judgment I used on Saturday," Johnson said in a statement released by the team. "It was a very emotional game and I let my emotions get the best of me. That is not acceptable and I take full responsibility for my actions. I am truly sorry this took attention away from the success of our team after a great win in Chicago."
Emotions were particularly high following this game, as a scuffle broke out between the two teams that lasted several minutes. Fire defender Jalil Anibaba was shown a red card for his tackle just after the final whistle and Frank Klopas was dismissed for using abusive language toward the officials.

Former major league pitcher Roger Clemens has been found not guilty on all charges in his federal perjury trial. NBC Sports:
Former major league pitcher Roger Clemens was found not guilty Monday on all charges of lying to Congress in 2008, the latest blow to the government's prosecution of athletes for allegedly using performance-enhancing substances.
Jurors had resumed deliberations Monday morning after a four-day break.
Clemens, who won 354 games in the major leagues and was seemingly headed to a Hall of Fame induction, perhaps as early as next year, instead found himself on trial in federal court on perjury charges for allegedly lying about his use of illegal steroids or human-growth hormones.
This year's trial was actually the second such event; a mistrial was declared last year because of supposed mistakes prosecutors made in presenting their case.
Clemens' former trainer Brian McNamee and former teammate Andy Pettitte testified in the trial, and frankly, it was a mess — so dull that jurors were caught falling asleep during the proceedings.
