Rival measures updating SF's formula retail controls stir controversy and debate
San Franciscans have always been wary of chain stores, more so than residents of any other major US city, none of which have taken on the ever-expanding national corporations and their homogenizing impact on local communities as strongly as San Francisco.
In the decade since San Francisco first adopted trail-blazing controls on what it calls "formula retail" businesses, those restrictions have only gotten tighter for various commercial districts around the city as elected supervisors seek to prevent big companies from taking over key storefronts from local shopkeepers.
But now, as the Planning Department and Mayor's Office push a new set of formula retail regulations that they say standardizes and expands the analysis and controls for chain stores throughout the city, neighborhood groups and small business advocates are decrying aspects of the proposal that actually weaken those controls.
Most controversial is the proposal to almost double the number of outlets that a company can have before it is considered a formula retail business, going from up to 11 stores now up to 20 under the proposal, which was approved by the Small Business Commission last week and heads to the Planning Commission next month.
Opposition is particularly strong in North Beach, one of two neighborhood commercial districts that have an outright ban on formula retail business (Hayes Valley is the other) and where residents are organizing to fight the proposal at the Board of Supervisors and at the ballot if necessary.
"The Planning Department proposal to redefine what a chain store is flies in the face of the voters' will and 10 years of successful chain store policy," Aaron Peskin, the former Board of Supervisors president from North Beach who sponsored the ordinance banning chains there, told the Guardian.
The citywide voters he refers to are those who approved Prop. G by a wide margin in 2006, defining formula retail business as having 11 or more outlets with common branding and merchandise and requiring that they obtain a conditional use permit before opening in most neighborhood commercial districts, thus giving local residents a vehicle to stop those projects.
Although Prop. G allows the city to update its standards and definitions regarding formula retail, Peskin and others said throwing out the negotiated number of 11 outlets undercuts "the fundamental underpinning of the formula retail controls."
The Planning Department proposal also does nothing to prevent big national chains from creating spin-offs to circumvent the controls, a growing trend that raised controversy in the last few years, including when Gap subsidiary Athleta opened a store on Fillmore Street and when Liz Claiborne owner Fifth & Pacific Companies tried to open a Jack Spade store in the Mission District.
Those two controversial provisions in the Planning Department proposal aren't in rival legislation by Sup. Eric Mar, who has long been a champion of expanding controls on chain stores. Both the Mar and Planning Department legislation will go before the Planning Commission on July 17, and they could be either merged or move forward as rival proposals.
"We're hoping this legislation moves forward as quickly as we can," Mar told us. "We're losing neighborhood character in many areas."
For all the indignant opposition to the Planning Department proposal expressed at the June 9 Small Business Commission meeting, where mayoral appointees led that body's 4-2 vote approving the measure, the planners who developed it say they're actually trying to expand the controls on chain stores.
11 locations is just dandy?
That Peskin doesn't care about chain stores in his little fiefdom of North Beach.
Peskin banned them there and is working to keep that ban in place, so I'd say he cares about chain stores in North Beach a great deal. Care to explain your point, Guest?
stores like Hot Topic, so he needs to ban them to protect The Children.
Banks are formula retail? This legislation, if it passes, will provide a great opportunity for a future Supervisor to write even more legislation to undo the bad legislation that it will amend. Classic micro-management style of Mar, Campos, Avalos - following Peskin, Ammiano, Leno.
Banks proliferating in NCDs was the original impetus for clustering controls that led to the formula retail legislation.
People seem to like them.
Chain store prices are decent...they open at night, Sundays, and holidays...and their storefronts are kept clean.
It seems those making techie salaries whom the Bay Guardian people despise can afford to buy at the mom and pop stores the Bay Guardian people defend.
A real puzzler there.
People voted to control chain stores, people do not like chain stores.
they are always packed when I visit them.
There are not chain stores all over SF and they are never, ever packed.
Even places with stricter controls like Noe Valley have a few.
While large tracts of the city have many stores.
If you do not think they are packed, let's take a walk to Costco. Target, Safeway, Walgreens, Lowes, and almost anywhere downtown.
Nobody ever shops at chain stores.
They are packed. And didn't you say somewhere that you like your local Walgreens?
Which is funny, because I have seen Marcos shopping at the best buy in SF the day that the IPAD came out.
Love it.
Of course, it isn't much different from a white male tech worker buying a condo in the Mission while whining about gentrification of the Mission.
Always hijacking the conversation back to ad hominem because the voters oppose chain stores.
So ad hominem means calling someone out on their hypocrisy?
And if no one shops at chains, how do they stay in business? Places like Walgreens, McDonalds, and Starbuck's seem to be doing okay.
There are few mom and pop options for prescription medications. Small scale coffee shops dominate Starbucks. And most chain restaurants are up at the Wharf for the tourists.
Sooooo.... in other words, there is a place in SF for chain stores.
Yes, subject to the limitations. But nobody really shops much at chain stores unless there are no other options. If Central Computer is closed, then in a pinch I'll get a piece of equipment at Best Buy.
So all the people who shop at the new Target in the Richmond are... what? Lost?
Nobody shops at the new Target at the Metreon, they're too busy gawking at the INSANELY high prices.
at the checkout.
Still, I'm sure you're right even though you say you never go there.
Chain stores skimp on labor costs and externalize those onto the customers via interminable lines.
now you complain that customers have to wait in line when they shop there!
What are you smoking??
I shop at target and the prices on household items are much lower than wallgreens.
Where else can SF people shop on soap and other items?
I cant afford lavender castille soap sourced from peru with extract of egpytian mummy.
Not at the Metreon Target, it is priced for tourists.
And it's cheaper than most small stores I've shopped at.
marcos getting PWN3D.
started getting closed out. There were quite a few of them back then... Broemmels comes to mind in particular... quaint old wooden-floored places... always with antique pharmacist equipment and the customary bottles of colored water behind glass in oaken cabinetry.
big box store like Walgreens or Best Buy while criticizing chain stores than he is when he complains about white tech workers gentrifying the Mission.
Walgreens has been at 16th and Mission since long before chain stores became category killers. The giant tech firms and the venture capitalists who throw money at them are the enemy, not tech workers.
Be sure and let us know.
New chain store BAD!
And I see progressives shopping in them.
The voters have spoken loud and clear, you are wrong.
Because we don't like them?
And when you go on your multi paragraph stories about how you've succeeded at blah blah blah when nobody has asked you, or cares at all - that is what ?
You are a loser.
Argumentum ad hominem
That's what you always do when you lose the debate, you've been pwned, loser!
You planning on waiting in line at best buy when the new iPhone comes out?
I buy my Apple products from either the Apple store or B&H in NYC.
Got it.
Not Chain stores that are in violation of the law. There are two Apple stores in San Francisco, direct from the manufacturer. There is one B&H in NYC.
open here, and not to the hundreds of existing ones.
Exactly, idiot.

State to spend $9M on marijuana study grants
Last Updated: 17:47 May 21, 2014
The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, and state Reps. Jenise May, D-Aurora, and Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, funds a scientific research grant program administered by the State Board of Health. Funding will be distributed in grants over the next five years.
The research is expected to help determine if additional medical conditions should be added to a list of eight conditions - cancer, glaucoma, HIV or AIDS, weight loss, muscle spasms, seizures and nausea - that can be legally treated with marijuana in Colorado.
"This grant-funded research is intended to increase knowledge about the effectiveness of medical marijuana and hemp and how it works, so that therapies can be more targeted, properly managed and possibly expanded to benefit more patients," Steadman said.
Dr. Larry Wolk, executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, will appoint members of a scientific advisory council to oversee the program. Wolk also will serve as council chairman.
By January 2016, a report must be given to the health board on the progress of studies and what diseases are being researched, the number of patients enrolled and any scientific findings.
Colorado has stepped in to promote health and safety while the federal government has done little marijuana research, said Mike Elliot, executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group.
"The federal government refuses to acknowledge that cannabis has any medical value, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary," Elliot said.

Ever since she was a teenager in Connecticut, Kathy Williamson has had a dream.
Through college and into her working career, she has always been drawn to the issues and human needs in Africa. At home in Chesapeake, she has a box filled with information, pictures and writings she's collected about the continent. Her entire adult life, she's imagined going to Africa to provide some kind of service - to make some small difference in people's lives.
Through a combination of coincidences, Williamson, employee relations manager at Old Dominion, realized her dream this summer as the recipient of the university's Dream Fund. And it was better than she ever imagined.
"It honestly changed my life. It was more rewarding, more exciting, more special than I could have possibly thought," said Williamson. "I have new friends in Africa with whom I will remain in contact and relationship - with the hope of returning in the future."
For three weeks in Cape Town, South Africa, from July 15 to Aug. 9, Williamson worked with the organization Grandmothers Against Poverty and AIDS (GAPA), a non-government, grant-funded organization whose backbone is 300 strong South African women whose families have been impacted by HIV-AIDS. The grandmothers lead support groups for others affected by the disease, on topics ranging from dealing with grief to AIDS prevention.
"These women are so strong. Each one has experienced tragedy and loss, and now, in their senior years, they are raising grandchildren and great-grandchildren who have lost parents to HIV-AIDS. They support each other and sing with joy! It was incredibly inspiring," Williamson said.
Also during her visit, she got a very exclusive audience with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of the truly inspiring figures in her life.
In her role with the ODU's Department of Human Resources, Williamson was responsible for coordinating the selection process when the university started its Dream Fund initiative in 2008.
The Dream Fund was created to provide an opportunity for full-time classified employees and administrative and professional faculty to fulfill a dream - unrelated to professional development or their job, and not to address personal financial hardship.
She coordinated the selection of two ODU staff members in 2008. Overseeing the selection process sparked Williamson's long-held hope to realize her own dream.
"I asked my supervisor that if I oversaw the selection process (in 2008), could I be excused from it and apply the next time the program is offered," Williamson said. The answer was yes.
Unfortunately, a dive in the stock market meant money wasn't available for Dream Fund initiatives in 2009 and 2010. But that only allowed more pieces to fall into place for Williamson.
During a meeting last year with Jennifer Fish, associate professor and chair of women's studies in the College of Arts and Letters - regarding a personnel matter - Fish told Williamson about the service-learning course she had been leading in South Africa, in which students learn about socio-economic development, political transition and human rights by working directly with groups in Africa. Williamson asked Fish if she could take a class to be eligible to go on the following year's study abroad trip. Again, the answer was yes.
"At about the same time that I met Professor Fish, I was told by my supervisor that it was my turn to go to an HR conference that year," Williamson said. "The conference was in New Orleans. I looked at the agenda online and who was the keynote speaker? Immaculée Ilibagiza! I thought, 'This is meant to be.'"
Ilibagiza, one of Williamson's African heroines, is the author of "Left to Tell," a chilling autobiography about surviving the Rwandan genocide in 1994. The book has been in Williamson's Africa box since its publication in 2006.
With everything in place, Williamson found out in the spring that she had been selected as ODU's Dream Fund recipient, which came with $2,000 and five days of paid leave. That's when the pieces really began to fall into place.
Her church, New Creation United Methodist Church in Chesapeake, contributed $750 for her to give to GAPA when she was in South Africa. That became $1,500 by the time she left, through additional donations from ODU colleagues and her fellow travelers in the service-learning course.
Williamson also took with her 300 handwritten cards from her fellow parishioners, heartfelt letters of support "for these grandmothers who they've never met, and never will meet," she said.
When the executive director for GAPA found out Williamson, a human resources professional, was volunteering with the organization for three weeks, she was overjoyed. Williamson partnered with the executive director to create job descriptions, evaluation tools and HR policies. "These are things that the executive director knew that she needed but did not have the time to focus on and complete," Williamson said. "The opportunity to establish a friendship in South Africa that I can sustain is the single most meaningful result of the trip for me."
She also had plenty of face-to-face time with the grandmothers themselves, which included sharing meals of traditional African pap (a boiled cornmeal dish) and gravy at lunch, cooked by the women in giant aluminum kettles.
"These are truly amazing ladies. I was so inspired by them," Williamson said.
Fish said Williamson's contribution was felt far beyond her strengths as a professional capacity-builder for GAPA . "Her guiding personal philosophies of social justice and peace-building captured the underlying principles of our global service-learning partnership," Fish said.
Another highlight of the trip for Williamson was getting to meet Archbishop Tutu. "When we planned our trip, I was determined to attend a worship service in the church where he served before retiring officially from public life last year."
At an evening function, Williamson said Fish was informed quietly that Tutu would be performing a Eucharist service the next morning at St. George's Cathedral. The ODU delegation was invited to be part of a group of about 25 that participated in the service. They even had an opportunity to chat and take pictures with the renowned archbishop afterward. Williamson's eyes shine when she retells the story.
Tutu entered the chapel with a big smile on his face and warm words of welcome for the group, Williamson said. She was elated. "It seemed surreal to be in the presence of this amazing man. My heart smiled being in the same space with this learned, humble man who has inspired and encouraged and led his people for his entire life. It was a blessing to be there."

It's a union protest designed to bring you to tears.
Residents at the Vista apartment building on the 2800 block. of N. 47th St. in Philadelphia's Wynnefield section are losing their minds over a recording played by protesters from IBEW local 98.
Last Wednesday, the union set up an iPod and loudspeakers that plays this recorded message: "Your community is crying for jobs, participation and fair wages." It's what comes next that brings a tear to the eye: an extended crying jag by a seemingly fussy infant.
The recording- which began last Wednesday- runs each weekday from around 8 a.m. to mid-afternoon.
"I know everybody says they've got their rights," says longtime apartment resident Jean Smith, "and that's fine. But don't we have rights too, that we have to hear this constantly- every day?"
The electricians are protesting the use of a non-union contractor to do electrical work on renovations at the apartment building.
Residents say they have nothing against organized labor making a point, but this?
"The crying of the baby- it doesn't give them no sympathy," says apartment dweller David Dickson. "It's not helping them."
Saundra Terrell agrees. "They don't seem to care! Even when we approached them nicely on the first day, they seemed to ignore us."
FOX 29s Bruce Gordon called the IBEW's spokesman to see whether we could quiet the protest.
Union boss John Dougherty later agreed to meet.
He claims non-union workers are leading the city to economic decline.
As for the irritating infant?
"It's well within the law," says Dougherty. "It's within the first amendment. I'm not apologizing.
But, he said, "because Bruce Gordon came here, on behalf of Christmas and me being a Christmas type of guy, I'm going to (play) Christmas carols up there, starting tomorrow."
No more crying baby?
"Not till after the holiday!"
That last line sounds a little ominous, but we're going to hold Dougherty to the Christmas carol pledge.
By the way, the building owner says union electricians were offered the chance to bid on the work at Vista, but that a non-union contractor won the job.

Comment on:
Why did Hitler hate Jews?
As someone who grew up two blocks from the Anne Frank house, I was of course fascinated by the story early on. I think it would be important to know for children what life in occupied Holland was like at that time, whereby anyone who 'collaborated' with an occupying force was rewarded (while food was becoming scarce and repression ever more brutal). It is entirely conceivable that someone who had to care for a family and would get extra food or better treatment would have been the culprit. Members of my own (older) family members were on the opposite sides of this spectrum as well, whereby those who might have helped 'resist', shunned those who 'collaborated' with the German forces well into the 1970's when I became first aware of the difference. What would the children do if given the choice between having their family starve or having them get food? Not an easy question to answer when someone is in the midst of years of oppression. It's easy to say '... I would do such and such...' but much harder when one lives through it.

Comment on:
Who betrayed Anne Frank?
Every year my students focus on this question and are left frustrated by the lack of an answer. As a class we discuss possible motives people would have for turning against the Franks and other Jews. Inevitably, this leads us to question why anyone would ever betray another in any circumstance which then allows my students to recognize the betrayals committed or experienced in their own lives. Although the question of who betrayed the Franks remains unanswered, the students have a much better understanding of how their own beliefs, actions and inactions affect others.

Chiefs Trade Jonathan Baldwin To 49ers For WR A.J. Jenkins from KC Star
Andy Reid's patience with wide receiver Jon Baldwin seemed to be running out over the weekend. Reid was clearly becoming frustrated with repeated dropped passes and otherwise unproductive play from Baldwin, a starter and the Chiefs' first-round draft pick in 2011.
"I don't know about any crisis and all that,'' Reid said then when asked whether Baldwin had lost all of his confidence. "I can tell you that when given the opportunity in this league, you'd better catch the football.''
Reid's comment foreshadowed the move made by the Chiefs on Monday when they gave up on Baldwin. They traded him to San Francisco for A.J. Jenkins, another unproductive wide receiver once drafted in the first round.
Chiefs Acquire WR A.J. Jenkins Via Trade With 49ers For WR Jon Baldwin from The Mothership
Jenkins (6-0, 200) saw action in three NFL games with the 49ers in 2012. He originally entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick (30th overall) with San Francisco in the 2012 NFL Draft.
The former first-team All-Big Ten wide receiver with the Illinois Fighting Illini, Jenkins totaled 167 receptions, 2,432 yards and 19 TDs during his four years on campus.
Eric Berry Talks Football, Family And Fans from The Mothership
It's been an exciting camp for Berry, who was reunited with his childhood friend, Chiefs OL
Rokevious Watkins, signed by the team on August 3rd.
"A lot of people don't know," Berry said. "Him coming to the team, as much of a blessing as it is for him, it's a blessing for me too. He pushes me through certain situations and certain things. We spend a lot of time talking and just going over different scenarios and stuff we've been through in our life the past few years and since we were growing up and just seeing where we came from. It's just cool to have him up here. I have my friends on the team, like
Kendrick Lewisand Justin Houston, who I talk to and I consider those two brothers as well and just to have somebody that I grew up with as well, on the team, I think that helps me a lot too."
Watkins sees the reunion with Berry the very same way.
Jags' Gabbert Will Start Against Chiefs Despite Injury from KC Star
Former Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert has a broken right thumb and will miss the next two preseason games, but Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley has tabbed him to start the regular-season opener against the Chiefs.
Makes you wonder how bad his competition, journeyman Chad Henne, must have been in the preseason.
Keeler: Baldwin Had All The Tools - Except The Ability To Catch The Darned Ball from FS Kansas City
In the spring of 2011, the University of Pittsburgh star wideout measured 6-foot-4 and change. He ran a 40 in 4.51. He boasted a vertical of 42 inches and a 6-8 wingspan. If Calvin Johnson was Megatron, Baldwin had the goods to turn himself into a pretty decent Starscream.
"You have to catch the football," coach Andy Reid had said during a conference call last Saturday.
Baldwin didn't. Period. Full-stop. End of story.
Chiefs Get Jenkins, 49ers Get Baldwin from ESPN
The 49ers picked Jenkins 30th overall last year. He appeared in only three games as a rookie and did not make a catch, even though he was healthy all season.
After another rough preseason showing against the Chiefs this past Friday night, there were questions whether the former Illinois star would even make the 49ers this season. He was targeted twice in the game, but failed to catch either pass. He had only one reception in the 49ers' preseason opener against Denver, but also lost a fumble.
Chiefs Trade Jon Baldwin To 49ers In WR Swap from FS Kansas City
"We keep shooting the ball to him and that's the thing, and you don't know what you will get out of him," offensive coordinator Doug Pederson told reporters Sunday. "If he is in a slump, and I don't think he is, I just think he needs to continue to focus and detail his work. Alex (Smith) has the utmost trust in him and is still going to throw him the football.
"You slowly work yourself out of, if he's down from drops or mental errors or whatever it is, you just work yourself out of it. You continue to press on. We always talk about short-term memory. You have to have it in this business and move on."
Only in this case, the Chiefs are doing exactly that.
Gresh And Zo's Summer School: Kansas City Chiefs from CBS Boston
Andy Reid and Alex Smith have joined the reigning worst team in the NFL, looking to turn things around quickly. Eric Fisher, drafted no. 1 overall, is the new left tackle. The guys notice an overall lack of depth throughout the roster, but do notice quality starters.
Kansas City Chiefs - Player Watch from The GlobalPost
WR Jamar Newsome has been battling for a roster spot but he didn't help his chances when he came down with a sprained ankle and also a shoulder injury against the 49ers.
DB Sanders Commings continues to sit out practice due to his broken clavicle. Head coach Andy Reid said he's still a number of weeks away from being able to practice or play. "That injury is normally six to eight weeks to heal," Reid said. "We've x-rayed it and it's healing nice, but he was injured on the 23rd of July. You have to be real careful of those and you have to lean towards that eight-week mark."
49ers Deal WR A.J. Jenkins To Chiefs For WR Jon Baldwin from USA Today
The odds of both players sticking with their new teams seem decent, considering each has a guaranteed base salary for 2013.
Jenkins' base salaries of $705,797 this season and $1,021,594 in 2014 are fully guaranteed. He has a $677,390 roster bonus due in March 2015 and a non-guaranteed base salary of $660,000 that season.
49ers Send A.J. Jenkins To Kansas city For Jon Baldwin from The Sacramento Bee
A.J. Jenkins and the Chiefs' Jon Baldwin were two of the big storylines from Friday's game in Kansas City because both continued to be disappointments with their respective teams. Now they'll both try to start over with the opposite team.
Is Jon Baldwin Running Out Of Time In Kansas City? from ESPN
I talked to ESPN's Matt Williamson about Baldwin. Williamson said he think Baldwin's career is still salvageable. But he might benefit from a change of scenery. While there are teams that are thin at receiver and there could be a modest market for Baldwin, the truth is, the Chiefs are not overly deep at receiver. They are counting on Baldwin this year.
If I were the Chiefs, I wouldn't give up on him yet. It's just his third year and his first with Reid. If Baldwin doesn't improve this year, then Kansas City should consider all of its options.
49ers And Chiefs Swap Disappointing Receivers In A.J. Jenkins-Jonathan Balwin Trade from Sports Illustrated
The San Francisco 49ers are one of the NFL's model organizations, but even the best front offices boot it from time to time. General manager Trent Baalke and head coach Jim Harbaugh didn't get a single start from anyone in their 2012 draft class last year, and first-round pick A.J. Jenkins was the biggest disappointment of all.
17-Day NFL Warning: 49ers And Chiefs Swap First-Round Busts, Continue To Be Smartest Guys In The Room from Grantland
The best things that can be said about Baldwin with regard to this trade are that it took two full years for Kansas City to give up on him, and his 41 career receptions are exactly 41 more than Jenkins's total. When Jenkins went without a catch for the Niners as a rookie, a frequent take was that the 49ers were so good on the personnel side that they could afford for a first-round pick to go an entire season without contributing. What we've learned since is that it didn't take long for them to learn Jenkins was no good.
Jim Harbaugh Won't Say Why A.J. Jenkins Fell Out Of Favor from The Contra Costa Times
"For those -- the scribes, pundits, so-called experts -- who have gone so far as to say that he's going to be a bust, should just stop," Harbaugh said a year ago. "I recommend that because they're making themselves look more clueless than they already did. I'll go on record: A.J. is going to be an outstanding football player."
On Monday, Harbaugh said Jenkins still could evolve into a top-flight player, referring to the transformation Cris Carter had when he left the Philadelphia Eagles and turned into a Hall of Fame wideout with the Minnesota Vikings.
Race And Sports Culture Series Features Authors, Former Players from Emory.edu
Emory Libraries will kick off a new "Race and Sports in American Culture Series" (RASACS) with a symposium Sept. 6-7, the first segment in a lineup of events inspired by the African Americans in Sports collection in its Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL).
The symposium begins with a Sept. 6 keynote address by New York Times sports journalist William C. Rhoden, followed by a Sept. 7 screening and discussion of "The Ghosts of Old Miss," and panel discussion with NFL Hall of Famer Willie Lanier and sports author/biographer Michael MacCambridge.
A.J. Jenkins Dealt From 49ers To Chiefs For Jon Baldwin from NFL.com
It's amazing how far Jenkins fell in San Francisco since being drafted in 2012. There were open questions about whether Jenkins would even make the 53-man roster. Chad Hall, among others, ran ahead of Jenkins in practice during training camp.
Seeing the Chiefs give up on Baldwin is even more surprising. The third-year pro was a first-round draft pick in 2011 by previous general manager Scott Pioli. Unlike Jenkins, Baldwin at least produced something at the pro level.
Some 49ers Stunned By A.J. Jenkins Trade from The Contra Costa Times
"I talked to him and told him real fast: 'Make the most of your opportunity. You wanted a fresh start and you got it, so go do it,' " wide receiver Kyle Williams said.
Williams referred to Jenkins as his "little brother," someone he tried to mentor both on the field and off it before Monday's news hit Williams "like a brick wall."
"It's a little shock because, to us, that's family going out the door," Williams added. "It's not a sigh of relief over here. I hate seeing him go."
On Paper, Baldwin Everything 49ers Seeking In A Starting WR from The Sacramento Bee
"If he works out, they've got a huge receiving group," NFL Films' Greg Cosell said of Baldwin and the team's only sure-fire starter, Anquan Boldin, who weighs 220 pounds. Cosell suspects that the always-serious and ultra professional Boldin was one of the reasons the 49ers decided to trade for Baldwin: The 24-year-old receiver is full of talent but could use a strong mentor.

Grant Cohn: Getting Baldwin In A Trade For Jenkins Is A Real Win For Baalke from The Press Democrat
The 49ers traded A.J. Jenkins to the Chiefs for Jonathan Baldwin Monday morning.
Hallelujah for the 49ers. Heaven help the Chiefs.
Why on earth would Kansas City trade anything for Jenkins? Why would they want him in the first place? Just this past Friday, they saw firsthand how bad he really is. Jenkins played 38 snaps and caught no passes against the Chiefs.
Vernon Davis: Jenkins Has To Change Approach from ProFootballTalk
"Maybe take his approach toward the game up a notch," Davis said when asked what Jenkins should do differently in Kansas City, via Matt Barrows of theSacramento Bee. "I think that be some he can benefit from. Just take his approach up a little bit more. Go above and beyond being a professional. . . .
"Not on the field. Not his game. I'm just talking away from the game. As far as studying habits - I think he had good study habits when he was here. Studying, being a professional, trying to help himself as well as helping other guys, the younger guys that come in. And just owning his position, embracing it and just going to the next level.
Why The Trade Of A.J. Jenkins Makes Sense from The San Francisco Chronicle
Meanwhile, the A.J. Jenkins experiment had run its course. They tried coddling him, yelling at him, supporting him, calling him out and nothing worked. After all of it, he regressed. No matter how hard they tried, they weren't going to get 20 catches out of him this season.
Jenkins also seemed to be unprepared. He might have gotten to the point where he was hating football and his 49ers' experience. When that happens, he's not going to put in the extra time to become a better player.
However, in Kansas City, he's not expected to be a major contributor.
Chiefs Unveil First Pieces Of Their New Art Program from KC Star

Is mobile becoming (gasp) a priority for some retailers?
It's a question e-retailers have struggled with for more than a decade as they launched web sites, and now mobile merchants are finding they must confront it as well: Build or buy your mobile presence?
That dilemma rose to the top of my mind again this week while writing about two competitors in the travel space who had both announced mobile advancements on the same day—Priceline.com with its Android app, and Orbitz.com with an m-commerce site as well as iPhone and Android apps.
It's our policy to ask each company whether they developed mobile apps or sites in-house or used an outside vendor.
What struck me with both companies' responses was their stress on in-house mobile expertise. For example, while Orbitz was honest that its mobile site and apps were developed using both in-house and outside expertise, it would not name the vendor and stressed it was soon bringing all mobile development in-house.
"Moving forward, we intend to manage the bulk of our mobile development in-house," the Orbitz spokesman said. "We're choosing not to name our outside partners at this time, especially since we intend to manage this internally from here out."
Priceline.com on the other hand not only told me it created its new app in-house but was sure to mention the app was created by Priceline's "dedicated mobile development staff."
That got me thinking. Could it be mobile is becoming too important to farm out? Is mobile becoming (gasp) a priority for some retailers—such a priority that merchants are fearful to outsource, afraid they'll be left in a lurch down the line if they don't cultivate their own in-house expertise?
Then, (I think it was a sign) the same day as I wrote the travel story, I received an e-mail from an executive at a major hotel chain. His title: director, mobile & emerging channels. I'm seeing more of this. 1-800-Flowers.com has Kevin Ranford, vice president of online marketing, mobile and social media. EBay's got Steve Yankovich as vice president of mobile and platform business solutions. Amazon calls Sam Hall its director of Amazon Mobile.
Now, I realize I'm naming only the big guns here. Of course 1-800-Flowers is going to take mobile seriously when for the first quarter of its fiscal 2011 ended Sept. 26, m-commerce sales topped $1 million, a 9,900% increase over Q1 2010 sales. And eBay did $600 million in mobile sales last year and is on track for $1.5 billion this year. I also realize a small retailer with a slim staff may not have the resources, time or money to pay a mobile executive or create a soup-to-nuts, whiz-bang mobile presence. In fact, for small players that want try and compete with the behemoths, speedy time to market may be No. 1 on their mobile must-have list. They just want something out there.
Still, I can't deny the hints. Mobile is getting a bigger emphasis within the big players. It seems as though the C-suite is finally listening—dedicating in-house resources tied directly to mobile. I believe eventually small players will begin to follow suit.

Badia - Paprika - 2 oz.
Badia paprika seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to dishes, but it is usually associated with Hungary, and also Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Morocco, and also Spain, the latter country having introduced capsicum annuum to the Old World from Southern Mexico. Paprika is a spice made from ground, dried fruits of Capsicum annuum, either bell pepper or chili pepper varieties or mixtures thereof. The use of this plant rapidly expanded from Spain throughout Africa and Asia, and ultimately reached Central Europe through the Balkans which were under Ottoman rule, explaining the Slavic origin of the modern English term. In Spanish, Paprika has been known as Pimenton since the 1500s, when it became a typical ingredient of the western region of Extremadura. Despite its presence in Central Europe since the beginning of Ottoman conquests, it did not become popular in Hungary much more than one hundred years ago.
Central European paprika was hot until the 1920s, when a Szeged breeder found one plant that produced sweet fruit. This was grafted onto other plants. Nowadays, paprika can range from mild to hot, and flavors also vary from country to country, but almost all the plants grown produce the sweet variety.The sweet paprika is mostly pericarp with more than half of the seeds removed, whereas hot paprika contains some seeds, placentas, calyxes, and stalks.
In many European languages, but not in English, the word paprika also or only refers to the Capsicum fruit itself. The plant from which the Hungarian version of the spice is made was grown from 1529 by the Turks at Buda(now part of the capital of Hungary, Budapest). The first recorded use of the word "paprika" in English is from 1896.It came from the Hungarian word "paprika", which was a diminutive of the Serbo-Croatian word "papar" (meaning "pepper"),which in turn came from the Latin "piper" or Modern Greek "piperi". According to other sources, the Hungarian word came from the words "peperke", "piperke", "paparka" used in various Slavic languages in the Balkans for bell peppers.
The two Spanish varieties of Paprika, know in Spain as "Pimenton" come from the Comarca de la Vera in Caceres province and a variety from Murcia region, both of which were introduced some time in the 1500s by local monks from the Americas where they originate. The word "Paprika" entered a great number of languages, in many cases probably via German. Many European languages use a similar word whilst examples from other languages include the Hebrew paprika and the Japanese papurika. One folk etymology that is contradicted by linguist evidence is that paprika was named after the religious Hindu figure Rysh Paprike.
Paprika is produced in a number of places including Hungary, Serbia, Spain and California. It is used as an ingredient in a broad variety of dishes throughout the world. Paprika is principally used to season and color rices, stews, and soups, such as goulash, and in the preparation of sausages as an ingredient that is mixed with meats and other spices. In the United States, paprika is frequently sprinkled on foods as a garnish, but the flavor is more effectively produced by heating it gently in oil.
Spanish Paprika (Pimentón) is available in three versions, mild (Pimentón Dulce), moderately spicy (Pimentón Agridulce), and very spicy (Pimentón Picante.) Some Spanish paprika, including Pimentón de la Vera has a distinct smokey flavor and aroma as it is dried by smoking, typically using oak wood.
Hungary is a major source of paprika and is thus more commonly used. It is available in grades ranging as follows:
The Netherlands is a major production and distribution source of paprika as well, especially grown in greenhouses. In Moroccan cuisine, paprika (tahmira) is usually found slightly moistened by the addition of a small amount of olive oil blended into it. Paprika can also be used with henna to bring a reddish tint to hair when coloring it. Paprika powder can be added to henna powder when prepared at home.
About Badia
Jose Badia left Spain in 1960, looking for new opportunities in the New World. He first landed in Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba, where he became known for his hardware store, Badia & Garrigo. In 1963, with difficulties facing Cuba, Jose emigrated to Puerto Rico and entered the world of spices. After leaving Puerto Rico in 1967, the Badia family looked for new markets in Miami, the land of Cuban immigrants, building brand loyalty. There, Badia begins to grow with the help of another company, and begins to appear on grocery store shelves. Slowly, Badia becomes more popular and well-known, and it spreads to more grocery stores. By 1998, Badia has expanded worldwide. More than 350 UPC's, placement in 1100 points of sale in the U.S., international markets in three continents, international distribution and a dynamic, high-tech production line with an increase of 28,000 square feet at its new warehouse prove Badia is a great leader in its category. Badia strives to be the strongest ethnic line of spices in the marketplace, with the most competitive prices and an exceptional selection of products for consumers to choose from.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Police say a tow truck driver was shot in the early hours of New Year's Day as he tried to help three men stranded on a freeway in Fort Worth.
WFAA-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1cnInMT ) the men were having car trouble around 4:40 a.m. Wednesday and called the tow truck. A police spokeswoman says the driver told the men only one could ride in the tow truck's cab and that the other two could not sit in the vehicle as it was being towed.
Police say one of the men pulled a gun and fired at the tow truck as it drove away. The shot hit the driver, who was taken to a hospital. His condition is not clear.
Twenty-six-year-old Shane Crowson has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

This is an interesting route but involves more scrambling than actual climbing. We also got off route somewhat and ended up climbing up to 5.7. I am not sure where this route lies relative to the other 3 routes on the site (Rain Dance, Refugium and Watership Down) as I do not have the latest version of Gillett's guide, and these routes are not in the latest Rossiter guide.

Denmark has gifted Cameroon a 10th minute goal in Saturday's third match, giving Samuel Eto'o and the Indomitable Lions their first goal of their tournament and a 1-0 lead.
Goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen played a ball to Christian Poulsen just outside the top of the penalty area despite Cameroon exerting high pressure with a number of players. Poulsen touched it to Denmark's right flank, where the ball was intercepted.
One pass later, Samuel Eto'o was in possession in the middle of the box, beating Sorensen to the goalkeeper's right for a 1-0 lead.

Mobile Firefox "Fennec" Becomes 1.0
After one and half years in development, the Mozilla project is now releasing its first stable version of its mobile Firefox, code-named Fennec. The target platform is initially Maemo.
The mobile Firefox version easily adapts to the smartphone environment with its one-touch bookmarking and new tabs, Weave synchronization add-on to work together with a desktop, and webpage thumbnails for orientation. Fennec is now released in its first stable version.
Users will unfortunately have to wait for plugins such as Flash, as the "Developer Questions" in the release notes indicate. These functions are disabled in the Maemo Firefox in that having them enabled slows down the surfing experience. The project is, however, planning an add-on in the future whereby users can enable and disable plugins.
Apart from Maemo on the Nokia N900 smartphone and N810 tablet there are currently no other supported platforms for a stable mobile Firefox. An alpha version is planned for Windows Mobile. A version for Android is also planned, but not yet implemented. The project has already declined the Blackberry and iPhone, mainly because the Blackberry OS doesn't provide any native components and the iPhone OS is too closed. Even Symbian phones have no Fennec in sight, according to the project. All phones belonging to the "smartphone" class (minicomputer and phone in one) don't have enough system resources to power Fennec.

text: WR Antonio Brown has become one of QB Ben Roethlisberger's top targets in his second NFL season. In fact, through eight games, Brown, not WR Mike Wallace, had the most passes thrown his way on the club. In addition to playing frequently on offense, Brown is the Steelers' primary punt and kickoff returner, and he has proven to be a big-play threat in that area, too, and particularly on punts, where he has had four returns of 31 yards or more. While Brown's speed is evident, his conditioning is also a major strength, we're told. An insider tells PFW that Brown's improved understanding of the game has helped him become such a key contributor this season. Brown has made strides with regards to making the proper route adjustments, the way we hear it, and he has transitioned well to playing an outside WR spot in Pittsburgh after playing inside at Central Michigan.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — The Plattsburgh State men's lacrosse team dominated everywhere except the scoreboard Saturday.

Ryan Hastings, Brett McClelland, Anthony Pafundi, Nick Travers and Tom Duggan each scored once for the Cardinals.
The first period went back-and-forth as the two teams battled to a 4-all standoff after one.
But Mary Washington gained the upper hand in the second period, with Marson, Bohlinger, Dacey and Kelly all scoring, sandwiched around a goal by the Cardinals' Travers, to take an 8-5 lead into intermission.
Duggan's goal early in the third brought the Cardinals to within 8-6, but the Eagles opened it up on goals by Marson, Dacey and Kelly to make it 11-6 before settling for a 12-7 lead after three.
The Cardinals scored the lone goal in the fourth period.
Gordie Gehring played 51:05 in net for Plattsburgh and made eight saves.
Neither team scored in man-up opportunities, with the Cardinals going 0-for-4 and the Eagles, 0-for-6.

Providence Students at the Legislature
Invitation to Budget Address
Students in this year's Business/Government Relations class were invited by the Manitoba Government's Minister of Finance to be her guests at the budget address this week. Stacy Falk and Myriam Gaudreau were able to go and, along with President Konkel, represented Providence.
According to the Hansard, which is the official record of what's said in the Legislature, the Minister concluded her speech, as follows:
As I draw to a close, Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize a few people in the gallery, and these are the students from Providence College and their instructor who have joined us today. Why do I want to recognize these students? Because these students are the future of our province and these students took the time to come to two budget consultations. I know it must have been intimidating: came to the first meeting to figure out what you were doing; then they came to the second meeting and made a presentation. I would hope that the instructors and students in other parts of the province would look at this and encourage students to take part in this process. So I thank them for taking this opportunity to hear–to have us hear them, and I want to tell them that one of the recommendations that they made has been implemented. I sincerely do encourage people that are here to encourage other people to get involved and help shape the future of Manitoba.
There were five students who took part in the budget consultations: Stacy Falk, Myriam Gaudrea, Ben Ladell, Michael Hanson, and Colten Fehr. Even though they couldn't all be at the budget reading, they developed the recommendations and wrote up the submission together.

Town Square
San Mateo County's Chief Probation Officer Stuart Forrest placed on administrative leave while Feds investigate possession of Child Porn.
Original post made by Michael G. Stogner on Dec 23, 2012
on Dec 25, 2012 at 12:04 pm
Judge Marta Diaz recommended Forrest to head the Probation Department. She is good pals with him and has worked with him on juvenile issues and on committees with him for years.
Marta Diaz, when she was both a prosecutor and juvenile judge, sent many, many juveniles to Dr. William Ayres. She is also a longtime pal of Ayres.
In July, 2005 after a molestation civil suit was settled against Ayres, DA Steve Wagstaffe told San Francisco Chronicle reporter Alan Gathright and Jason Dearen, then-reporter for the County Times who is now with the Associated Press, that Judge Diaz actively tried to interfere with the police investigation into Ayres in 2002 and warned them to be "real careful, because Ayres and I are friends. " Wagstaffe also said that Diaz frequenly had Ayres over to dinner.
Ayres and Stuart Forrest had dealings with each other for years at Hillcrest Juvenile Hall from 1976-1990.
It is just way too coincidental that the Chief Probation officer in San Mateo is being investigated for child porn and the former number one evaluator of juveniles for the courts was arrested for molesting boys.
Let's hope the FBI and the Postal Service who are investigating are also looking at the relationships between Forrest, Ayres and Diaz.
To the editors here: before you go and delete this, put in a call to DA Wagstaffe and ask him about Diaz and Ayres. He's the source for the information to reporters.
on Dec 26, 2012 at 4:56 am
How can DA Wagstaffe not take full responsibility for this, his own probation officer being a (vile) criminal, all the while judging the sometimes much more petty offenses and behavior of others? How can the resulting criminal prosecution not be immersed in conflicts of interest (Wagstaffe not wanting to push it as it makes him look bad too)? I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on the estate thefts, but this is too much. He needs to step down NOW.

CATEGORIES MoviesI need you to listen to me carefully ... Liam Neeson is back in his role as Bryan Mills, the ex-CIA operative/stone-faced agent of justice, in "Taken 2."
Yes, the first trailer for the sequel to the successful 2009 flick has arrived. Here, Mills and his family are on vacation in Istanbul, Turkey, when Mills' wife (Famke Janssen) is taken (!) by the same guys who ran the prostitution ring his daughter was sold into during the first film. (Apparently they're still upset about the unflinching swath of destruction that Mills wreaked on their associates, and are now seeking revenge.)
It should be no surprise that the seemingly invincible Mills is hellbent on getting his wife back, by threatening to do what he does best. (From the looks of the trailer, that means using guns, exploding cars, and lots of running through the streets of Istanbul.)
You can check out the trailer for "Taken 2" (not "Taken Again" Or "Double-Taken"? C'mon!) above. The film hits theaters October 5.

Steven J. Davidson, MD, Chief

Working at my desk when the sun is shining outside is tough. I long for those good old days in elementary and middle school when I got to go outside for recess. Recently, however, I found out that some kids may not get to experience this fond childhood memory of mine. Many New York City schools are slowly replacing recess with concentrated learning activities.
"It's not an uncommon practice, especially in schools where there's a real focus on test scores," states Dr. Lisa Altshuler, Director of the Kids Weight Down Program. "Because of increased teacher accountability and changes in the Department of Education, they want to see improvement in academics – but it comes at a price of children's physical activity." Recess, gym class and other athletic activities are being cut by schools and it's a troubling issue. "I think it's a big problem because it impacts kids' physical health and, in some ways, is very self-defeating," notes Dr. Altshuler.
There is a great deal of evidence (as recent as 2009) which shows breaks for physical activity actually improve focus in the classroom and academic performance. "Children are not only able to work off excess energy that gives the brain time to consolidate information, but cognitive function improves because of increased blood flow which provides glucose and oxygen to the brain," explains Dr. Altshuler.
We forget that kids can learn important skills from unstructured play that they can't learn in the classroom. "Children can figure out how to work together, the importance of taking turns and dealing with winning or losing," states Dr. Altshuler. "There's a whole range of social skills that kids may have difficulty learning." In terms of independent learning and socialization, many experts fear that kids might be lacking because of the decrease of unstructured free play.
Last, but certainly not least – there's the issue of limiting children's physical activity and its affect on obesity. The CDC recently estimated that, by 2030, 42% of Americans will be obese. "If the goal of education is to give kids life long skills, being accustomed to and enjoying physical activity should be one of them," emphasizes Dr. Altshuler. If children are encouraged to participate in sports and physical activities, they are more likely to carry that interest into adulthood.
So what can you do to help your kid stay active? "If your child's recess or period for physical activity is diminishing at school, finding opportunities for exercise after school is important," states Dr. Altshuler. She also recommends parents be actively engaged in the school community. "Speak with teachers and administrators if you feel that recess is important, and make sure that homework requirements are realistic," she states. "Kids should have time after school to unwind and have unstructured time."
While my 'recess' consists of walking to the deli on the corner to get a cup of coffee, I really hope that more people will recognize the importance of recess for elementary and middle school children. What do you think? Should kids get a break – or should their time be filled with studying?
