text: THE REAL CRIMINALS ARE THOSE.... The girl pictured here is a jazz fun. The Negro is a jazz musician. Both made the news recently when she revealed him to be the father of her mulato child. Since then she has been jailed and her child placed in an institution. She has been disowned by her parents and ostracized by her friends. But the real criminals remained unpunished.. They are the northern propagandists, the alien sociologists, the fuzzy-minded school teachers, and the brain-washed clergymen who exposed her to the degenerate philoso- phy of racial integration; who taught her from child- hood on that all the races are equal and that it is morally wrong to "discriminate" because of race or color; who preached to her that racial pride is un- Christian but that racial "tolerance" is a high Chris- tian virtue...They are the ones who should be pun- ished; they are the REAL criminals. Educate them together...let them play together...send them to church together...and the result is inevitable. Prepared and publiched by: Frank L.

The crux of this route is encountered on the first pitch, and consists of a tricky sequence of moves as you move onto and off of the arete at the bottom. This is followed by a series of small edge crimps on lower angled black rock. There is another crux right below the first set of anchors.
Park just before the Charleston Lodge at the end of S.R. 157, in the Cathedral Rock parking area. Be sure not to park along the streets as I received a $120 ticket for doing so even though the nearest sign instructing people not to do so was 100 feet away! From the parking lot walk up the stairs and take the trail leading off right. Be sure to watch the path for the point where an old water pipe angles left up the hillside (next to a couple felled trees. Follow this up the hill until it comes to an obvious talus slope that continues to the right side of the face at the top. Traverse left along the bottom of the wall until you reach what seems to be an impassable section of 4th/5th class scrambling down a 70 ft staircase. Don't go down! At this point look up to the headwall to your right and you will notice a large (about 6 ft) ledge 60ft up the wall with two small tree/bushes and a set of stainless chains hanging slightly behind them. This can take a few moments to locate... You will need to scramble up to the ledge via the slanted slope/straircase at the base of the wall to the starting anchors.
14 draws (or 12 draws and a couple slings for the bolted anchors).

SAR Level
Any one knows the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the new Blackberry 10 series? is there any public information about it?

No public information about it, all we can know at this point is that it will meet the required standards by the time it goes into the carrier labs, although more likely it has done so since far earlier since they would want to also make things as safe as possible for the developers and testers too.

Thank you, I want to point out that BB meets SAR levels in the US and Europe. I wouldn't expect less, but it is not a secret that some of their phones are on the top 20 phones with the highest radiation.
20 highest-radiation cell phones (United States) - CNET Reviews
Most of the Blackberry models are also usually higher than Apple in terms of SAR Level.
Meanwhile the Galaxy SIII is way below RIM and Apple, winning that race.
It has always seemed to me that Blackberry is not concerned about the radiation level of their phones. My thought is that If they have a competitive SAR rating I am sure they would be saying it out loud. I haven't been able to find anything about radiation level on Blackberry 10 and no news from RIM. So my conclusion is that Blackberry 10 won't set a difference in that field.
Some of us are concern about the SAR Level. And I believe RIM is loosing the game there too.

"Black Twitter watchers know the power of the swarm," wrote Buzzfeed's Shani Hilton. "That obsessive and focused online conversation has gone from being a source of entertainment — and outside curiosity — to a cultural force in its own right."
That's one of the profound benefits of hashtag activism: The amplification of minority voices that other forms of media — or even other forms of activism — have historically ignored. That helps explain why feminist groups, for instance, have been so eager to jump on the hashtag train. ("The Hashtag Is Mightier than the Sword," proclaimed an article in Ms.) It also explains why Suey Park, perhaps Twitter's foremost hashtag activist of late, has become such a polarizing figure.
Perhaps you haven't heard of Park, but you've surely seen her "movements." In December, the 20-something activist and freelance writer launched the tag #NotYourAsianSidekick to prompt discussion of Asian-American feminism and media representation. Three months later, after an account affiliated with Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" tweeted a contextless (and apparently racist) joke about Asians, Park lit up Twitter with the hashtag #CancelColbert.
#NotYourAsianSidekick and #CancelColbert were fundamentally different, despite sharing a founder and central theme. #NotYourAsianSidekick was about having a conversation — not terribly different from #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, or even the common Twitter chats of yore. But #CancelColbert appeared to target a specific, actionable policy, like #standwithPP before it. And lots of Colbert fans — pointing out, rightly, that the joke had actually been a critique of racism — did not take that suggestion well.
Park has since clarified that she just wanted to start a conversation about racism and racial humor — something she clearly accomplished, if not in the way she may have hoped. The hashtag has been tweeted 125,000 times. The campaign has frequently been condemned as silly or ill-conceived.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information

Your half-day excursion begins with a drive across the Bosphorus Bridge, the world's fifth-longest suspension bridge. Crossing to the Asian side of the city, you arrive at the Beylerbeyi District, home of an opulent palace of the same name.
Designed and built by Sultan Abdul Aziz in the 19th century, Beylerbeyi Palace contains 26 rooms and several large halls. The white marble structure was used as a summer palace and guest house for foreign dignitaries visiting the Ottoman Empire. The palace highlights the elegance, charm and magnificent style that characterized this period.
The first room you visit is the elaborately decorated Reception Hall. Its centerpiece is a twisting staircase surrounded by gorgeous examples of Islamic art and style. Notice the Egyptian hasir, or reed mats, on the floors and the solid marble pool and fountain. After viewing the interior, continue with your guide to the royal stables and terraced gardens that overlook the Bosphorus.
Afterwards, drive to Sakirin Mosque at Karacaahment and visit the modern version of a mosque with interesting applications. Then, travel to the shores of the Marmara Sea to Salacak for tea and enjoy views of the Old Town.
Re-board your motor coach and drive through Uskudar, crossing the Bosphorus Bridge to Europe and arriving at your ship.

"Do all things without murmuring or disputing." (Philippians 2:14)
Arriving at the Nashville airport a full 2 hours before my scheduled flight to California gave me ample time to check in, pass through security and kick back with a good cup of coffee in the Admiral's Club. But then a breaking news story came over the television. LaGuardia in New York had been shut down because of a bomb scare of some sort. It was 7am, and the inevitable chain reaction of this single closure would impact travel across the country throughout the day.
My flight, which had been scheduled for departure at 8:50am, did not leave Nashville until 10:30am. This meant that I would miss my connecting flight in Dallas, so the airline booked me on the next flight that was available. However, I missed that flight also. So, they booked me on a flight departing from Dallas at 3:30pm.
By the time we arrived in Dallas there were a lot of very unhappy people doing their utmost to let any available gate agent know just how they were feeling. Rather than deal with the crowd pressing about each customer service desk, I decided to check the boards to see what gate my flight would be leaving from. That's when I saw that there was a flight departing for Orange County at 2:10pm. And it was in the boarding process at that very moment.
The problem for me was that it was departing out of another concourse, and getting there would take at least ten minutes. But, having nothing to lose, I decided to give it a try.
By the time got there I heard the gate agent say, "Zones three and four are now free to board." That means the plane is almost full and the final passengers are now getting on board.
There was still a handful of disgruntled folk loitering about the gate area, glaring at the gate agent who seemed as if she were under siege. I paused and thought perhaps it would be best to leave things the way they were, but that's when she looked over at me standing to the side and asked, "May I help you?"
I knew that last thing in the world this lady needed was one more complaint. So I opted to take a totally different approach. "Yes, indeed," I said with deliberate theatrical flare, "I am on a most excellent adventure, flying from Nashville to Orange County. I have been rescheduled on a later flight, but was wondering if there was any possibility of getting on this one."
She took my boarding pass, looked at her computer screen and started typing. I assumed she was seeing what it would take to switch me over. But the next thing that happened stunned me. The agent handed me a boarding pass for the flight now in final boarding – and my seat was in first class!
It was a most excellent adventure indeed!

Semana Santa in Mexico City
Last Friday I got up early to explore a town and its Semana Santa. At 7.20 it looked very abandoned. Just a few people who started dragging big bags out of the church. I started wondering what they were doing with these bags, so I followed them. They started making a coloured tapestry for the procession of Semana Santa. I was amazed by the speedness they made it. But I was astonished when I found out they made this tapestry the whole way of the procession, untill the hill with the temple. It's a perfect example of Mexican culture: a mix of their own traditions and the Catholic influence of Spain… Most pictures I took with my Pentax. I shot some digital to check the light, which was horrible during midday… Every day I fall in love again with the format of the Pentax. It seems like the digital makes everything so flat and out of balance… I am not satisfied with these pictures, but I do want to share this tradition for Easter.

Baseball's 2013 recruiting class recognized nationally
Related Links
The JU baseball program continues to have a great eye for talent as the 2013 recruiting class was ranked No. 55 in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper top 40 poll.
The Dolphins, who appeared in the poll for the seventh season, had their recruiting classes ranked in the 2006, 2007 and 2010 polls, while getting honorable mention accolades in the 2008-09 and 2011 editions.
This is the first honor for new recruiting coordinator and assistant coach Talmadge Nunnari who was put in charge of recruiting by head coach Terry Alexander last spring. Associate Head Coach Tim Montez, who has had 14 classes (six at JU) recognized by Collegiate Baseball, moved out of the recruiting role to be more involved with the day-to-day operations of the program.
"We are happy to get noticed for our hard work," JU head coach Terry Alexander said. "Talmadge did a great job putting together this class. All of our staff has put in a lot effort into getting these guys here. Now, our focus is developing these guys and helping them reach their best potential. Overall, we are excited with the class we have entering the 2013 season."
The 2013 class includes junior college transfers in Brady North (1B/Hillsborough JC), Zach Gordon (RHP/St. Petersburg College), Drew Luther (C/Fullerton College) Braddock Rowe (C/South Georgia College) and Scott Schaub (3B/College of Central Florida).
The Dolphins' freshman class is made up Kris Molter (3B/Bishop Kenny HS), Michael Babb (OF/Bartram Trail HS), Nathan Koslowski (OF/Episcopal HS), Josh Baker (OF/LHP/University School), Nate Ricci (OF/1B /Madison LaFolette), Jacob Terry (RHP/Navarre HS), Christian Diaz (IF/ Steinbrenner HS) and John McNamara (C/St. Thomas Aquinas HS).
The Dolphins open the season Feb. 15 with a three-game series vs. Richmond at John Sessions Stadium

The University in World War I - Carolina Men in ServiceShortcuts: Letters from Camp | Letters from the Front
During the war, 2,240 university alumni and students served their country in the military branches; twenty-six of them were members of the faculty. Fifteen of these men were killed in action, another eighteen died of disease, and twenty-one others were wounded. Many, many more experienced things they wanted never to experience again. The university did an admirable job of tracking the whereabouts of its men in service and of providing encouragement to them. President Graham wrote to and received letters from many of them. The Southern Historical Collection is fortunate to have other letters from some of these men, written primarily to their families. In this part of the exhibit are letters and other items reflecting the experiences of Carolina men in military service, both at military training camps and at the front in France.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Oct. 28, 2010)—With the pilot for HBO's highly anticipated "Luck" already complete, production for season-one will resume at Santa Anita this coming Sunday, Oct. 31. Both the pilot and first season are scheduled to air in the fall of 2011.
"Luck" is the creation of world renowned writer/producer David Milch, who also created such blockbuster hits as "Hill Street Blues," "NYPD Blue," and "Deadwood." Milch, who is also a multiple Breeders' Cup winning Thoroughbred owner, is an ardent supporter of horseracing and has long wanted to due an episodic series of this nature, which will take the audience inside the sport in a very creative and in some cases, stark way.
The pilot, which was shot almost entirely at Santa Anita, was enthusiastically received by HBO executives and the cast, including actors Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Dennis Farina, John Ortiz and retired Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, will remain intact for season-one. It is also expected that current jockey, Chantal Sutherland, will appear in a number of episodes.
"Touch wood, I think it's going to be an incredible series," said Stevens, who made his highly acclaimed debut as an actor in 2003's blockbuster hit movie "Seabiscuit."
"I'm very excited about production resuming," continued Stevens. "This is going to be a very candid and very vivid look at our sport. 'Luck' has every right to be a winner on every level—from the acting to production, directing and writing, I really think this series is going to blow people away."
Pete Siberell, Santa Anita Community and Events Coordinator, has been closely involved with "Luck" from its inception.
"As we've said before, David (Milch) has a heart-felt passion for racing and he's going to present the sport in a way that it never has," said Siberell. "He's going to be developing characters and plot lines that people can identify with and embrace. Although he's going to be exploring some dark areas on occasion, we believe very strongly that he's going to be able to connect with a wide-ranging audience, perhaps in a way similar to 'The Sopranos,' which also aired on HBO."
The first episode of season-one will be shot at Santa Anita and at Rod's Diner, a nearby coffee shop on Huntington Drive. Filming will also take place at the 100 to One Club, a cocktail bar just east of Santa Anita's Gate 5.
Action in the first episode includes interaction at Santa Anita's Clockers' Corner, box seat area, winner's circle, paddock and barn area. Action will also emanate from Santa Anita's press box, and Racing and Operations offices.
Action will shift to Santa Anita's main track as soon as the all-natural dirt surface project that is currently underway is completed and it is deemed safe for horses to compete.
Production for season-one of "Luck" is scheduled to continue throughout Santa Anita's upcoming winter/spring meeting, which runs from Dec. 26 through April 17.

West Oakland hyper gentrification in the WSJ
Two stories on the theme of gentrification and displacement – a topic we at the Guardian have expended plenty of ink on – ran in major news outlets recently, showing how intense the Bay Area housing market pressure has become as it continues to be fueled by a rapid growth in high-salaried jobs in big tech.
Zeroing in on San Francisco, the LA Times turned an eye toward Mission District gentrification, illustrating the growing divide with a succinct comment overheard on a Muni bus: "I don't know why old people ride Muni. If I were old, I'd just take Uber."
And a Wall Street Journal article provides an eye-opening account of how REO Homes LLC is literally seeking to accelerate the gentrification process by "beautifying" West Oakland, an historic Black neighborhood that is home to predominantly low-income and working-class residents. (Note: The article may be behind a paywall.)
Minutes from downtown San Francisco via BART, West Oakland is dotted with Victorians and was hit with a wave of foreclosure during the economic crash, destabilizing the lives of many families who lost their homes.
REO is an investment firm helped along by San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer, a well-connected venture capitalist (he even hosted a Democratic Party fundraiser with President Barack Obama at his Pacific Heights mansion earlier this year).
As the Journal's Robbie Whelan reports, REO has been shelling out top dollar to spruce up not just its holdings, but residences nearby its West Oakland properties. In a rarely seen form of hyper-gentrification, the company has been planting trees, sprucing up homes (for free) of neighbors who aren't in the market to sell or rent, mending fences, and making other improvements – all in an effort to lure higher-income residents to the neighborhood.
Since 2008, the height of the real-estate market crash, REO has acquired more than 200 homes in Oakland, Whelan reports, mostly in West Oakland. "Most houses cost around $200,000," he writes, "and [founder Neill Sullivan] said he invests as much $100,000 to fix each one up."
Real-estate agents have been marketing the neighborhood – which is no stranger to violent crime – to house-hunters as an affordable, nearby alternative to astronomically expensive San Francisco. Now that many people who weren't able to keep up with mortgage payments have been forced out by foreclosure (see: robocalls, bungled loan modifications, foreclosure abuses), things are changing swiftly, as if by magic. Armed with cash, bankers are chasing away the blight and rolling out the welcome mat for up-and-comers who can't swing it for that $3,000 one-bedroom in the city.
All of which will likely result in further displacement of Oakland residents who are barely holding on as it is. As Oakland councilwoman Desley Brooks told the Journal: "I'm not interested in finding housing for San Franciscans who can no longer afford San Francisco. I'm interested in helping people here in Oakland."
Those devils are fixing up neighborhoods?! What evil will they think up next?
Wow! You're hilarious! Yet behind the facile sarcasm I sense that you literally do not understand what gentrification is and why it is so bad for the residents of neighborhoods it tries to take over.
It's good for those who live there. There are always residents of an area - they just change over time, and often for the better i.e. people who produce more and commit less crime.
Uh huh. Thanks for the insight, racist.
a racist because most crime is committed by non-whites.
Bizarre, because most victims of non-white crime are, er, non-white.
Our building was bought about a month ago and despite that we've lived here for over 5 years, never had one late payment, and cannot possibly afford to live anywhere else in Oakland; as I share a studio with my uncle who is 66 and retired on Social Security and we pay $650 - the entire building is receiving 30 day notices for renovations. I'm terrified, have no idea where my uncle will be able to live, let alone myself. Yes better neighborhoods - sure. But why can't that happen for us; the people that are here. We're worth it right? We have never committed crimes... I work and attend school. Yes, we're low income but that doesn't mean we're not valuable. Invest in policing, social services, education, quality whole foods for the the people already living her. Moving criminals to another area doesn't fix crime and eventually it will come back anyway. It's a short term solution that's gilded with lowering crime but when it comes down to it- that doesn't matter to the people behind it. You don't even matter to the people behind it. Your money is the only thing that matters. The profit in flipping these communities is the only thing that matters.

This is a troll Maginot Line.
it is a signpost to indicate to the reader that I have nothing better to do with my life.
I'm doing this in support of the SFBG mods, even though they keep deleting my "troll barrier" posts for some reason. They just don't understand what a valuable service I am providing.
Besides, I'm WINNING - by making the SFBG web page unreadable, I'm striking a blow from progressivism, or something. This is civil disobedience, like the March On Selma.
I'm WINNING. Truly.
Besides, they kicked me off of sfgate. What else I am supposed to do with my time?
you would not have posted the reply in the first place, because it simply makes the problem you claim to be complaining about even worse by adding yet another off topic post to the blog
so there must be another motive for your whinging
the only one that makes sense is that you simply seek to perpetuate irritating trolling on this site
Maybe it is real what you said, but it is quite simple and for sure many will do it!
No. No. No. I understand. Fixing up neighborhoods destroys people.
Gullicksen makes an excellent point in the LA Times' article: the demographic shifts fueled by the latest tech boom are here to stay.
I really don't know what to think of REO's moves to fix up neighboring houses around the properties they own in West Oakland. But if this were some new phenomena that individual new home owners were doing to assist their neighbors (and their own property values), I doubt anyone would be calling it hyper-gentrification.
Sure that might be the end result, and it's clear that REO's intent is to drive up the return on their investment. But if my neighbor wanted to fix up my house to benefit the rest of the neighborhood, I don't think I'd be inclined to complain.
Cannot happen fast enough. Out with the bad, in with the good.
rich = good. Why don't you write your comment with accurate language?
He may well mean "out with the black and in with the white."
That said... I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, I don't like the fact that a community is being displaced. And casually dismissive, insensitive comments like the one above, highlight all that is bad about displacement.
OTOH, I tend to agree with Josh Wolf above. My question is, who exactly does this hurt?
The community of people who currently live there? No, not really. They're getting free repairs to their homes. No one forces them to sell, but if and when they decide to cash out, then they get a good payout -maybe have something to retire on.
New people moving in? Well... not really. They're moving into a nicer neighborhood as a result of the infusion of money (albeit a more expensive one).
Renters? Unlike the condo conversion situation in San Francisco, we're not talking about the permanent destruction of rent controlled housing. From my understanding, most of the people who live there now are homeowners.
Yes, Oakland is getting less affordable as a result, which is unfortunate. But it's also becoming nicer and safer in the process. There's a happy medium between a city being relatively safe and desirable, and an enclave only for the rich. In San Francisco, the balance is way off in the latter direction, but in West Oakland, it's still off balance in the other direction. As long as A) no one is being forced or pressured to sell, and B) rent controlled housing isn't being taken away, it's probably a net positive for Oakland.
For now.
I guess even Greg cannot bring himself to say that improving poor neighborhoods is a bad thing simply because it leads to an altering of the racial mix.
Of course, West Oakland is still the badlands and the white folks buying there because they cannot afford SF aren't exactly the upper echelon professionals that Greg despizes.
The reality is that some people are being displaced out of these area's but then, so what? There's always turnover and relocating to a place that better suits your finances is a healthy thing, not a bad thing.
But don't worry - WO is nowhere close to really be gentrified. After dark, it reverts to ghetto type and few law-abiding white people are out unless it's in their locked vehicles. It will take decades of this to turn it into anything that most SF'er would regard as livable.
It's a negative trend.
If Rebecca Bowe says West Oakland is experiencing "hyper-gentrification" there are only two possible explanations:
1. Ms. Bowe hasn't spent much time in West Oakland.
2. Ms. Bowe is using her job as a platform for a political agenda that is based on ideology rather than real research. (If Josh Wolf just chimed in above and questioned the word "hyper-gentrification" that really says something. While Mr. Wolf is unquestionably a leftist, he's neither delusional nor a propagandist.)
Fortunately, no one in Oakland reads the SF Bay Guardian.
shitless to actually visit one of these black neighborhoods that they eluogize in theory.
For many years now, I've wondered what it will take to restore the beauty of so many West Oakland houses and bring into the area a vibrant community in which the people living there can thrive with shops that sell good food at an affordable price as well as other community-building assets. Maybe this is the start of something good?
It's time for San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area to step in and stop the dramatic changes taking place in our historic neighborhoods. Things are changing, and not for the better.
That's some weird logic you got there.
neighbourhoods, or perhaps writing into purchase agreements that people can only sell their homes to a certain race?
There's little consensus on the best course of action to counter the displacement and high rents caused by the hundreds of thousands high-paying jobs created in Bay Area over the past 30 years. The area is so wealthy and renowned for high paying jobs - and the potential riches via stock options - that the world's brightest, ambitious and most educated people want to live and work in the prosperous Bay Area. Since hundreds of thousands of housing units weren't built to accommodate these new high-paying jobs, of course rents and housing prices have soared.
We keep reading these articles that are essentially the same lament from decades past - high rents, tenant displacement, high housing costs. Woe is us. But that's as far as it seems to go - whining and complaining - since there's little agreement on how the region or a particular city should respond when tens of thousands of more affluent people displace existing residents. Let's remember that the politicians benefit from displacement since they get more property and sales taxes to spend, always a good thing. The displaced residents aren't really a problem since they're not around any longer to complain. And the new residents mostly want to keep things the way they are since that's what attracted them to an area in the first place, and perhaps more importantly, they don't want to see a lot of new housing construction that might reduce the value of their own house. Finally, property investors and speculators don't want to see a lot of new housing construction since new units would reduce a speculator's profit potential.
For most of us who don't have an income within the top 40% range, one reasonable option is to simply go with the flow and find a cheaper place to live. Many of our ancestors were essentially displaced from Europe and Asia because landlords and property speculators controlled the land and housing options, so it's not much different today in the US today in places like NYC, Boston, DC, San Diego, west LA and SF Bay Area. Unless the country and region can find better ways to address housing options for the 60% of residents at the lower income levels, leaving the high cost regions of the US or leaving the US altogether for better economic opportunties may be a good option for many.
If you cannot afford Oakland, move to Stockton.
I cannot afford Aspen so I live elsewhere. NBFD.
I agree with you. We should get out there, throw some trash all over the streets, graffiti some buildings, break into some cars and beat some people up. That should help improve the neighborhood.
I am very aware of REO Homes presence in West Oakland as I have been an Oakland resident for over a decade. REO Homes and Sullivan Management are the main contributors of hyper gentrification but they are also total slum lords and the public would be better served if someone did some investigative reporting about this.
I know because I have rented from Sullivan Management several times. Sullivan Management (check their Yelp reviews) are a rag-tag group of pushy inexperienced amateurs with no or little regard to public safety, affordable housing, or even safe housing at that. I have rented unit after unit of homes which are not up to code, have safe and illegal wiring, shoddy plumbing, infestations, and the like.
Neil Sullivan buys up these homes in West Oakland, slaps on some paint, puts in some new cabinets and flooring and rents them out to unsuspecting tenants. I have lived in units which we so poorly renovated that I had to go to the CIty of Oakland Inspectors and threatened an inspection due to backed up sewer (the sewer was hooked up incorrectly in my illegal unit) and there were times I was left without power for days due to my "non-conforming unit" having homemade wiring that blew a fuse every time I used my microwave.
They are charging tenants premium pricing for units they paid nothing for and are profiting the rents instead of properly renovating their units. I am certain you will find a slew of people who have nothing but horrible things to say about Sullivan Management. They have changed staff multiple times and even their most loyal employees have left at this point- I am assuming due to the chaotic structure and unfair practices.
Sullivan Management and REO are ruining Oakland- not so much because of gentrification but they are buying up all the affordable real estate that otherwise would be loving renovated by home owners who want to stay in Oakland and involve themselves in neighborhoods and bring Oakland back to safer, more prosperous area. Instead, they make falling down homes presentable and rent them out to tenants who have little or no long term interest in the betterment of the neighborhood.
Write a story about that.
And you sound like a slimy landlord that only collects money for rent and does not keep the place up to code. Yes I know how hard it is when a tenet actually is aware of their rights and calls a slumlord for what they are.
It's not a life sentence.
West Oakland is a black ghetto, any African American that wanted to improve their lot in life have left WO. "hyper-gentrification" in this case is a good thing.
equal is a non-sequitur. Obviously even just one billionaire will skew the distribution of wealth, but that does not mean that that billionaire is somehow causing the rest of us to be poorer.
Indeed, if he hires a lot of us, and his business pays taxes locally, we can all be better off even while we are theoretically more "unequal".
There is little doubt that the Bay area is far, far better off because of these high-tech companies, and the fact that some people do not share directly in that doesn't make the assertion invalid. Visit Detroit if you want to see the alternative - they would love to have our inequality problem, because there (almost) everyone is dirt poor.
Oh yes the world is a better place with a few people owning everything and most of the money. Not! Those that have it all need to give back to their fellow citizens or risk the guillotine in the long run. How can one man watch his fellow neighbors suffer and not lend a hand? Fact is the country and the world is a better place without all the uber rich fixing the game for themselves so they can get richer on the blood and sweat of the rest of us. Sorry, dude but the Bay Area was much much better when Majority of the people had a good life not just some slimy rich people that make toys for young people to get hooked on ie. ipods and gameboys. Your trickle down theories of the Job creators are a fantasy brought to us by the uber rich trying to fleece us and make it look like they are looking out for our best interests.
many wealthy people do with their money e.g. charities, foundations, trusts, donations, endowments etc.
Nobody would be better off if all our billionaires moved to Switzerland. In fact, we'd be a lot worse off.
Most billionaires become billionaires by creating value. Most poor people (like you) are poor because you don't create much value.
You mean STEALING value.
If you are successful, it is because you stole.
If you are a loser, it is because someone stole from you.
How convenient for anyone who fails.
You are a loser and no one stole from you.
Blaming others for failure is a coward's tactic.
I haven't seen much perspective here that reflects how I, as a Black resident of West Oakland, feel about the situation. I see a lot of talk about what's good or what's bad for the Blacks of West Oakland, yet I haven't seen anybody in this thread actually step up and identify as one.
I've rented from Sullivan Management before, and I can assure you, @Chromefields, that @JT Ghostcar is not just a disgruntled tenant, and the story is not over. What he says about their shoddy renovations, overpricing, disorganization, and code violations is true. I've lived it, and I don't doubt it's the sentiment of the majority of their tenants.
No one is complaining about "beautification". Some of these comments try to make it sound like Blacks are against nicer looking neighborhoods. The reason it is a cause for alarm, is because of course they're not actually doing it for the people who live here. They're doing it so they can bring in newer, richer, less-Black residents. Furthermore, many of the comments in this thread seem to reflect the belief that if you get rid of Blacks, you get rid of crime. This perpetuates the stereotype that Blacks are inherently criminal/dangerous/bad/ghetto, etc. I would counter and say that if you get rid of POVERTY, then you'll get rid of crime.
People use the word ghetto as if it were a quality inextricable from blackness. But those people forget that a ghetto is actually "a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure." A ghetto is a part of town where the people don't really have a choice to live anywhere else, and the resources are extremely limited there. Crime and ignorance will happen anywhere that a group is institutionally isolated, no matter what their race. That's what a ghettoization does to people. So how is pushing Blacks out of West Oakland to just another ghetto going to fix anything? The key to improving the neighborhood isn't getting rid of the people that live there, it's building resources that serve the existing population. The sad thing is, many people don't think that Black life is worth the investment, and think it's better just to push us out and forget we ever existed.
I as a white person am being pushed out of Aspen, La Jolla, Pacific Heights and Beverly Hills.
I cannot afford to live in some places and if you find it's the same for you, then relocation becomes a good option for a better standard of living.
Guest from West Oakland, nails it. Thank you for this.
Racism has no place here or anywhere else.
Guest from West Oakland described his/her reality in Sullivan-owned housing, and described what a ghetto is. It is not automatically playing "the race card" to describe or analyze social conditions in terms of race. Your jumping in says a lot about you and your political views, but it does nothing to advance the discussion of what is happening in West Oakland.
and so made a housing issue into a race issue. That's playing the race card, which is racism.
Housing issues are, in this case, inevitably tied to race. Have you heard of intersectionality? Pretending like race just isn't in issue is racism.
that is a poverty issue, not a race issue.
Oprah Winfrey can afford to live anywhere; millions of poor whites cannot.
Have to say, that was beautifully stated. I appreciate the candor and clarity with which you described the situation. You understand and care and yet still keep a cool disposition about things. 'Tis a rare quality. Keep on - and glad you did "chime in".

Roger Millar - family statement following convictions
"The Millar family takes no gratification from the verdict that has come today as no verdict would ever be able to bring Roger back. However we do take satisfaction in the fact that the Justice system in our country works and works well as shown by the result today.
"The passing of Roger has left a large whole in the lives of everyone he came in contact with. Roger was the complete gentleman and has been described so, not only by the Millar family but colleagues that he worked with whilst serving his country with the Corps of the Royal Engineers
"We would like to thank Mr Lickley QC and the Crown Prosecution Service along with Detective Inspector Matthew Davey and the Major Crime Investigation Team from Wiltshire Police for all the hard work and dedication that they have shown throughout the whole of this case. "

Echo campaign to keep blood testing in Southend and Basildon gets huge support (From Echo)

Echo blood test campaign gets huge support
9:30am Thursday 20th December 2012 in Local News
THE Echo campaign to keep blood testing services in local hospitals is gaining huge momentum.
We began an online vote to gauge whether readers supported plans to send GP pathology samples on an 88-mile trip from Southend and Basildon to be processed in Harlow and then tested in Bedford.
Readers taking part so far have show they are overwhelmingly against the move, with 1,855 voting in favour of keeping the tests local and just 59 against.
Under the scheme tests which currently come back as quickly as one-hour could take days.
As well as taking part in our online vote, readers have taken to our website to voice their disapproval about the move.
Saisho said: "To dismantle the Pathology service will be like ripping the heart out of Southend and Basildon Hospitals. The Path labs are vital and other hospital services such as A&E and ITU could be seriously undermined.
"The whole idea is ludicrous, especially as the local Pathology labs have recently undergone major upgrades of equipment and have state-of-the-art analysers and an IT system that works!"
Heartbeat said: "This "idea" sure as hell isn't for the benefit of the inhabitants of South Essex!
"Whatever happened to "green" anyway? I thought we were all being urged to cut down use of cars so just on that point alone how is this supposed to stand up, with vans or whatever constantly trundling back and forth to Harlow and Bedford.

The Conservatives desperately want the NHS privatised so their personal business interests can profit from that privatisation. Consequently they are going to force through any changes they can - no matter how unpopular - to speed up that privatisation.
We've recently seen it with Southend's Royal Mail delivery offices being closed - in the face of massive public opposition - ready for privatisation, the same will happen with Southend's blood analysis services.
If you want these outrageous carve-ups of our public services to stop, then stop voting Conservative.

I say everyone needs too complain about this.
The whole thing is so bias, corrupt, and fixed its untrue.
Southend and Basildon out of the 16 or 18 hospitals in the East of England havent got no work at all, so effectively they have spent millions on deciding to close two labs down, ridiculous.
All hubs have all gone to the midlands, yet the biggest populations exist in Essex.
Dr husslebee it seems in the article has clearly invested interest, he is being paid to damage the testing service in this area.
I notice/read It was tried years ago even sending samples to wales, but that failed miserably. There seems to be alot of invested interest and corruptness involved in the strategic operations when you look at the backgrounds of people on the board and those initially who set the board up.
We cant less this happen.
What a mess,

The failures of serco - private partner to bedfordshire who's taking all the Essex work.,
even more interesting; Lord Carter him self, (Lord Carter pathology Reforms) is now the head of a private health company and chairman of CCP (competition panel) :

Lingard ready to be thrown to the Lions
5:00am Friday 28th February 2014 in Sport By Andy Naylor, Chief sports reporter
Albion's new recruit Jesse Lingard has vowed to cope with the high expectations of supporters and the Lions' Den.
Lingard makes his debut for the Seagulls at Millwall tomorrow after signing on loan from Manchester United for the rest of the season, including the play-offs.
The England under-21 striker scored four goals in his first appearance on loan to Championship rivals Birmingham earlier in the season and was on target for United's under-21 side against Sunderland on Monday night.
Lingard said: "I am ready. You have to to cope with the pressure but I think I'll be all right.
"I'm ready for the game on Saturday.
"Hopefully I can start getting involved and do what I do against Millwall straight away, rather than having to wait two or three games to get into it."
Lingard trained with Albion at Withdean yesterday as they attempt to get their play-off challenge back on track at Millwall.
He has already scored against the struggling South Londoners this season, in a 4-0 home win for Birmingham, and has no fears about another barracking from their notorious fans.
"It was a tough game," Lingard said. "I got a lot of stick off the fans. "I won a penalty, missed the penalty and ended up scoring in the second half.
"I've only been to Millwall with Leicester but I was on the bench warming up.
"It's a tough place to go but I'm ready."
Lingard, targeted by Albion during the January transfer window, will be straight back on international duty after his debut.
He is poised to win his fifth cap for England under-21s against Wales at Derby's Ipro Stadium on Wednesday.

The mere fact that Manchester Utd fans are bemoaning this loan bodes well for our attacking options. If views expressed on Twitter are to be believed, Lingard should have been given his chance in Red Devils' first team this season and, given his four-goal debut for Birmingham, this could well be the loan signing we need to catapult us into the playoffs.
Bring on Saturday!

The Knights of Columbus, the largest fraternal organization of Roman Catholics is celebrating the election of Pope Francis and his personal connection to charity and helping the poor.
"We just think this great surprise is going to be one of many surprises from this pope. I believe this is going to energize Hispanics throughout the United States and the Americas. This is something that will change the church," said Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, a Jesuit, chose the name Francis in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, champion of the poor.
The primary tenet of the K of C is serving the underserved.

Horizontal-Cable Cashmere Sweater 103 103
Lightweight warmth, soft & cozy Very pretty color, but I would describe it as hot pink. It is more pink than shown online and in the catalog, where the sweater appears to have more magenta tones. Still lovely and a keeper, but I wouldn't call it fuchsia. March 8, 2014
Great sweater. I had purchased this sweater in a medium - 5'9 and 140 lbs. I found it too tight. I sent it back. Then it went down in price even more and a large was available. I ordered it. It is perfect! February 25, 2014
Great, Gorgeous sweater I bought this in blue earlier in the season and received so many complements and loved the feel of it so much that I picked up pink also. To wear it without a coat in wind, you may want a cami or T. If you don't have a longish neck, it may bother you. It is not fitted in the waist, but who cares- it's probably pretty cold out if you're wearing this! February 25, 2014
Cable cashmere love it! Great value for cashmere, fits well, has a nice "flare" at the bottom for hip room, and has sort of an hourglass shape overall, complementing my figure! February 25, 2014
Nice Sweater I purchased the cable knit sweater during your sale so it was at a great price. The sweater is a heavier weight than I expected but it fits to size and looks great. I purchased the white one. February 25, 2014
Boxy Sweater Really nice heavy weight cashmere. but the cut is way to boxy! I'm 5'8" 130 Lbs lean body type. I ordered a small to wide of a cut for me.I sent back! February 24, 2014
