Can't create lectures or assignments
I've installed and activated Courseware, but I'm having problems with it.
I click to add a new lecture, add the content, and click Publish, and it says 'New Lecture was added', all fine. But when I go back to the home tab, it still says '0 Lectures'. The same thing happens when I try to create an assignment – it says it's been created, but then it still says '0 Assignments' on the home screen. And when I try to create an assignment, it suggests creating a lecture first, so it clearly isn't registering that I've created a lecture.
The strangest thing is, the new lectures and assignments are displaying in the activity stream! Just not in the Courseware area. Any thoughts?
I'm running all the latest: WordPress 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.4, Courseware 0.9.5.

|A.L. East
Sunday was all about the sweeps, as the Rays finished sweeping the Jays, the Angels finished sweeping the White Sox, and the Tigers got swept in a doubleheader by the Twins in excruciating fashion ... and in front of huge home crowds, no less.
Red Sox 2, Orioles 1: You thought the Orioles were going to fade down the stretch? Hardly. The entered Sunday's game at Fenway Park with a six-game losing streak and a wild-card lead, thanks to a 27-8 record in one-run games and a 16-game winning streak in extra-innings games. And they almost added to those gaudy records against the Red Sox. But despite loading the bases in the top of the ninth with one out, they couldn't score as closer Andrew Bailey somehow managed to nail down the save. Red Sox starter Felix Doubront struck out 11 Orioles in seven innings, but the pitching highlight was the debut of Baltimore's 19-year-old phenom Dylan Bundy, who faced two batters in the eighth inning and retired both on fly balls.
Athletics 5, Yankees 4: After losing the first two games of the series in New York, the A's squeaked past the Yankees in the finale to preserve their slim lead for the American League's second wild card. It wasn't easy, though. In the second inning, the A's took a 3-0 lead on Cliff Pennington's two-run homer, which came moments after a missed call at first base gave his club an extra out and an extra baserunner. In the fourth, though, Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer, Ichiro Suzuki a run-scoring double, and Eduardo Nunez an RBI ground-out to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead. Yoenis Cespedes tied it with an RBI single in the fifth. And in the sixth, the A's took advantage of second baseman Nuñez's throwing error to score an unearned run, Pennington driving home Josh Donaldson with a single. The Yankees mounted error-aided threats of their own in both the sixth and eighth innings, but were thwarted both times. And in the ninth, Grant Balfour retired all three Yankees he faced to preserve the 5-4 lead and earn the save.
|A.L. Central
|White Sox
Twins 10, Tigers 4; Twins 2, Tigers 1 (10 innings): Sunday, the Tigers could have actually taken first place in the Central for themselves, by sweeping the lowly Twins in a split doubleheader. But instead the Tigers got swept, including a tough extra-innings loss in the nightcap.
In the opener, the Tigers actually led 2-0 after five innings, with Max Scherzer -- who left his last start after two innings, with shoulder fatigue -- spinning a nifty shutout. Until the sixth. Ben Revere led off with a triple, Joe Mauer reached on an infield single, and Josh Willingham doubled to knock Scherzer out of the game. The bullpen didn't fare any better, though, as the Twins wound up scoring five runs in the inning for a 5-2 lead. And after scoring another in the seventh, the Twins picked up four more in the eighth, with Mauer's two-run double capping the outburst and giving the Twins a 10-2 lead. The Tigers did pick up a couple of runs in the ninth, but fell well short of scaring anyone. Rookie Scott Diamond pitched seven innings to earn the win.
In the nightcap, it took the Tigers three batters to get on the board ... before a few hours of abject frustration. Austin Jackson led off the bottom of the first with a single, and scored moments later on Miguel Cabrera's double. And that was it. In the fifth, the Twins made it 1-1 on one of the more bizarre plays you'll ever see. After Trevor Plouffe's leadoff walk and Matt Carson's single, Pedro Florimon laid down a sacrifice bunt, but all hands were safe when pitcher Drew Smyly's throw went awry. With the infield drawn in, Ben Revere shot a grounder toward first base; Prince Fielder threw home to force out Carson, but bases were still loaded with one out. Jim Leyland summoned Al Alburquerque from the bullpen. With the infield still in, Jamey Carroll hit a grounder right to the third baseman, who threw home for another force-out. Which would have left the Tigers in a pretty good position to escape the inning, except catcher Alex Avila got greedy and, hoping for an inning-ending double play, threw wildly over first base an into right field. He actually got his double play, as Revere was ultimately tagged out trying to reach third. But not before Florimon had scored the tying run. (Here's the video of that weirdness, if you want to see for yourself.)
The score was still 1-1 after nine innings. With Tigers closer Jose Valverde on the mound, Denard Span led off the 10th with a pinch-hit single, then moved to second base on a ground-out. Jamey Carroll followed with a line-drive hit into center field, with Span scoring the tie-breaking run. Carroll was out trying to reach second and Valverde retired the next batter, but that one run was enough. In the bottom of the 10th, Glen Perkins retired the Tigers in order to complete the day's sweep. And so the Tigers remained one game behind the first-place White Sox.
Angels 4, White Sox 1: It was a good day for the Angels and Jered Weaver, as the former completed a three-game sweep to keep their wild-card hopes alive, and the latter improved his Cy Young chances, pitching 6⅓ innings and running his record to 19-4. The Angels did all their scoring in the sixth inning and they did it quickly; first Albert Pujols drove home Mike Trout and Vernon Wells with a double, and then Kendrys Morales hit a two-run homer, with all the runs coming against White Sox starter Gavin Floyd. The Sox picked up their lone run in the seventh, on Dayan Viciedo's sacrifice fly. That knocked Weaver out of the game, but the Angels' bullpen wasn't seriously rattled from there, and Ernesto Frieri came on in the ninth to record the contest's final out.
|A.L. West
Rangers 3, Mariners 2: After losing two games in Seattle, the Rangers took a close one Sunday afternoon, and came just a step closer to clinching their third straight American League West title. All the scoring in this one came in two innings. In the top of the fourth, Mike Napoli hit a solo homer and, two batters later, Geovany Soto hit a two-run shot to give the the Rangers a 3-0 edge. In the bottom of the seventh, with Texas starter Ryan Dempster still on the mound, Eric Thames led off with a home run. After Dempster retired the next two M's, Brendan Ryan muscled up for a 418-foot homer to make it 3-2. The M's loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth, but couldn't score. And in the bottom of the ninth, Michael Saunders got to second base but was stranded when Joe Nathan struck out Franklin Gutierrez for his 35th save.
|A.L. Wild Card
Rays 3, Blue Jays 0: After a rough stretch last week that dropped them well behind the wild-card contenders, the Rays shut out the Jays to complete a three-game sweep in which the Rays outscored the Jays 26-6. Sunday, Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson left in the sixth inning, but a quintet of relievers completed the team shutout, with Fernando Rodney earning his 45th save. The Rays got on the board early, when B.J. Upton hit his 26th home run in the bottom of the first inning. It was still 1-0 until the eighth, when Evan Longoria's two-run double made it 3-0. Which was more than enough for Rodney, whose scoreless ninth lowered his ERA to 0.64.
Up next: The Rays and Angels have Monday off, but the A's visit the Rangers for the start of a four-game series that will go a long way toward determining the winner of the West, and could do some real damage to Oakland's wild-card prospects. The Tigers begin a four-game series at home against the Royals, while the White Sox will host the woeful Indians in a four-game set. Speaking of woeful, the Yankees open a three-game road series against the Twins.

LEE COUNTY: A woman who pleaded no contest to charges related to doctor shopping won't do any jail time if she stays clean. Vickie Flood's attorney said she needed the prescriptions for medical problems, but went about getting them in the wrong way.
In court Monday, 61-year-old Vickie Flood was sentenced to 30 months of probation for doctor shopping. She pleaded no contest to ten counts of concealing information to obtain a prescription.
If Flood can follow the rules of probation, she won't see the inside of a jail cell.
He made it clear if she messes up, she's looking at the possibility of 50 years behind bars.
Prosecutors cut a deal with Flood, but told the judge they could call three doctors who said they prescribed pain medication to her, but didn't know she was seeing other doctors who were doing the same thing.
Investigators say it happened 37 times.
Her attorney says she needed the Oxycodone, hydrocodone, Xanax and Percocet, but went about getting the pills the wrong way.

With Linux having gained traction in business, certifications of Linux expertise are becoming more popular, similar to how Novell or Microsoft systems certifications became important for those platforms. But some in the Linux community say the emergence of certifications is by no means a golden ticket for admins, and perhaps just a waste of time and money.
Major Linux distributors, including Novell and Red Hat, have their own certification programs, notes Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. Employers come to the foundation seeking Linux talent and want to know if a candidate is qualified, he says: "They want to see a Good Housekeeping seal of approval, for lack of a better term, that's neutral and third-party." So the foundation offers the Linux Foundation Certified Developer certification and accompanying courses.
[ Has desktop Linux lost its chance in business? InfoWorld's Neil McAllister explains why desktop Linux's chances are increasingly slim. ]
Certification of Linux skills has become "pretty mainstream," Zemlin says, and more people are seeking certifications of Linux proficiency, including those previously certified to work with Solaris, Microsoft, and Novell systems. "Particularly with the down economy and consolidation in the Unix market, people are looking to improve their skills and make [themselves] more marketable [in] the job market," he adds.
Linux certification is by no means a must-have to get a job
Yet on a list of most desirable certifications, Linux is nowhere to be seen -- even though Linux skills are highly desired by companies. The April 2009 Foote Partners Hot Lists cite Linux IT skills as No. 2, right behind Java, on its roster of most desired, noncertified IT skills. The employment research firm's other list, featuring "hot" IT certifications, doesn't include any Linux certifications. "Certifications are not particularly necessary with a lot of people that are hiring," says David Foote, CEO of Foote Partners. "Clearly, the world is not saying, 'You need a certification in Linux to be hot.' You simply need Linux experience," he adds.
Even an unlikely source -- Linux vendor Novell -- backs up the notion that not everyone values the certifications. Corporations are looking for Linux skills but not putting value in the certification, says MaryJo Swenson, vice president of training services at Novell, which offers the Suse Linux distribution.
But Foote says he has heard from managers who find certifications attractive in hiring for deeply technical jobs in security, for example. But when hiring project managers or architectures, experience is the main criteria, he notes.
The case for and against Linux certifications
"The premise of any certification is that it should ultimately help a hiring manager sort the pile [of résumés]," says Randy Russell, Red Hat's director of certification.
Dennis Little, a member of the Central Pennsylvania Linux User Group, sees government agencies particularly looking for people with Linux certifications, especially Red Hat's. (Little says he would prefer a Linux Professional Institute certification, because he believes it to be superior to Red Hat's certification.)
But the use of certifications can raise eyebrows about a candidate's actual skills at many companies, says Eric Andreychek, lead organizer of the Central Pennsylvania Linux User Group. "Some folks feel that [certifications] are used by underqualified people to try and hide their lack of real-world knowledge or skill," he says. "One person said they'd scrutinize a résumé even more if a person had a certificate than if they had none. Other people felt that [the certification] wasn't testing knowledge and skills that are usable in the real world."

Copulating Fruitbats Cause a Furore in the Workplace
In October 2009 Chinese scientists published a scientific paper regarding the peculiar habits of the short-nosed fruit bat Cynopterus sphinx. They found that because these particular fruit bats engage in oral sex when mating and copulation time is prolonged.
In November of that year as part of a continuing discussion regarding the viability of scientific claims that support human uniqueness and related evolutionary biology, Dr. Dylan Evans, a psychologist at the University College Cork, Ireland, shared the paper with several colleagues, including a female colleague (Dr. X).
Some time later the colleague filed a sexual harassment complaint against Evans with UCC's HR department. There were two noted charges; one regarding general sexual harassment by Evans, and one specifically alleging Dr. X's "harassment, hurt, and disgust" toward him for showing her the scientific paper, in part because she was alone when he did. Evans defended himself indicating that Dr. X was not alone when he shared the paper with her and that he'd shared the paper with many other equally respected colleagues.
In February 11, 2010, a UCC investigating committee found Evans not guilty of tghe charges. However, UCC President Michael Murphy stated that Evans' actions could be "reasonably regarded as …. offensive, humiliating or intimating" to Dr. X. Consequently, on May 18, 2010, UCC President Michael Murphy imposed sanctions on Evans for a period of two years, during which time his behavior would be intensely monitored and he would be expected to undergo counseling.
Although cleared of the accusations, Evans feared he would ultimately be denied tenure due to the incident and subsequent sanctions. With the support of the Irish Federation of University Teachers and many in the global scientific community, Evans launched a petition to have the sanctions dismissed.
Supporters of Dr. X applaud the UCC's actions in defence of women in the workplace. Evans' supporters regard the matter as an issue of free speech that could ultimately stifle scientific research.

Study: Upstate Prisons Provide Little Economic Bounce
by Martha Foley
Feb 13, 2003 — A new study released by the Sentencing Project, a Washington-based think tank, says prisons offer little long-term economic benefit to rural communities.

Mason Raymond took a nasty turn into the boards early in the first period of Stanley Cup Finals Game 6 between his Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins, and it looks as though he could miss a considerable amount of time thanks to the resulting injuries.
Nick Kypreos of Rogers' Sportsnet and Dan Murphy of that same outlet are reporting that Raymond could be out several months with back injuries suffered on the play, where he was taken into the boards by Boston's Johnny Boychuk. Murphy reports via Twitter that "a source close to the Raymond family" has said that he fractured a vertebra on the hit, and that he may not be able to travel back to Vancouver with his teammates.
Here's video of the hit, which has predictably been questioned by a number of people in Vancouver for it's legality.
To me, that's just an awkward hit. We make fun of the phrase "hockey play" but that's exactly what happens here. Boychuk is stopping his man from getting to the loose puck, ties him up with the stick, turns him inside out and rides him into the boards.
It's the funny bent-over position that keeps Raymond from absorbing the hit in a safe way, and instead, his lower back takes the brunt of the impact. Just an unfortunate play. No penalty was called, nor does it seem likely that any suspension will be handed out as a result.
The Canucks have yet to disclose the injury to the public, only confirming that Raymond did in fact go to the hospital during Game 6.

Moving Week
June 23, 2012 in Shopping, The Home by Joe
The big move starts Sunday! The plan is tobe out of our current place and into the new place by Friday. Naturally what will probably be our busiest moving day, Thursday, and it's forecasted right now to be 103. I shall tape ice cubes to my forehead.
The house is nowhere near as ready as we'd hoped it would be before we moved in but what ya going to do? One more month and a couple grand and we'd be in a better state. Unfortunately we don't have another month or a couple spare thousand so move in we shall. I'm still looking forward to it even though it won't be very comfortable for a while. One thing that will be better is not actually having to drive over to a second house to work on it. As much as it sucks to work on a home while living in it, especially the amount and scale of work we'll be doing. It'll just be easier it seems to tackle projects when they are staring you in the face and screaming to be made pretty again.

The Mississippi County Sheriff's Department could be facing a budget crisis soon. But it's not a new problem.
The commission gave the department what the sheriff called an unrealistic budget.
It's something both sides say is an ongoing problem.
Sheriff Keith Moore says he was set up to fail.
"We knew it was coming and it was going to happen," said Moore. "I'm not just throwing their money away. I'm scrimping everyday to make this budget work to work as long as it did."
Here's a look what at the numbers.
In 2010, the commission approved close to $2.2 million for the department. It spent more than $2.3 million.
In 2011, the commission cut the budget by more than $100,000, the department spent more.
And this year, the county commission increased the budget slightly. But the department is expected to run out of money this month.
County commissioner Carlin Bennett says floods, droughts, a Missouri Supreme Court ruling, and businesses leaving have caused economic problems to the county.
"With the sheriff's department, it's an over-spent situation every year," said Bennett. "We've probably been hit harder than most. In terms of available money, there's not a lot in the pot right now. That's just the way it is."
"I know the commission says it's all about the math," said Moore. "To me, it all about people's livelihoods and about keeping them safe and keeping people out in this county safe."
Bennett says safety is the number one concern. If you look at the budget, the sheriff's department gets the biggest piece of the pie
"You have to understand," said Bennett. "Every other aspect of county government and if you total all of their budgets it's $1.5 million and the sheriff's as I told you is 2.070. So if you got to cut, where you going to start?"
Moore says it shouldn't be his department. He says more cuts mean more trouble.
"You can't put one jailer on that floor out there and expect him to break up some kind of fight or something," Moore said. "Someone is going to get really hurt and then we got lawsuits coming down on us. A lawsuit can make up all this money that we are talking about to finish out this year."
There have been rumors spreading that the Detention Center and Sheriff's Department are closing. Both men told said those rumors are not true.
Bennett says the commission is likely to tap into their reserve fund, putting the county at risk for emergency situations.
The commissioners met in their normally scheduled meeting Thursday morning.
Presiding Commissioner Carlin Bennett said they did not reach any sort
of a resolution at the meeting Thursday morning. He said the
commissioners told the sheriff that they're waiting on a plan from him.
He said they want participation from the sheriff in this decision and
process. He said they cannot fund this current spending for the rest of
year because it would just be fiscally irresponsible.
Sheriff Keith Moore says he plans to meet with the county commissioners sometime next week to work something out. He said he wants to work toward something that will allow them to finish out the year financially. He said he wants to salvage what they've got and keep people working there. He says they need about $356,000 to finish out the year.
Bennett stresses it has to be a negotiation between the commissioners and the sheriff's department.

My Goals

The Essentials
Good makeup
Hairstylist you trust
Comfortable thong
I've wanted to model since I was young. When I was 16 I briefly went to a modeling school, and when I had my high school yearbook pictures taken I brought a lot of outfits thinking I could use the photos for my portfolio someday. But all that got me was a few local fashion show bookings and a couple of short-lived jobs as a department store perfume spritzer.
I attended college on a track and field scholarship and gave up my modeling dreams when I got married at 23 and had my son at 24. I trained to be a licensed practical nurse and also worked in real estate. Still, modeling was always in the back of my mind. People would often come up to me and say, "You missed your calling. You should be a model." I'd always tell them I was too old.
One day in 2008 I was doing a real-estate settlement at a law office when a client who was an image consultant came in. In passing she asked if I'd ever considered modeling. I took her card and later learned about a casting call in New York City for women over 35. I had to get up the nerve to go. They took a few head shots, measured me, and asked questions about what I would or wouldn't do as a model. I said I wouldn't model nude or do cigarette or alcohol ads.
I had to go to Manhattan a few times for photo shoots for my portfolio. In January 2009 I finally got a booking, for a Lands' End catalog. I was ecstatic! Even so, I hesitated. The timing was bad because I was about to start classes for my RN degree. I was also letting my hair grow out and the client wanted it short. But in about two seconds I realized that I couldn't pass this up. So I headed to the salon and then booked my flight to the shoot in Chicago.
I loved it. I loved having somebody do my hair and my makeup. I loved that they flew me out there and paid for my hotel. I felt like a movie star, getting all that special treatment.What I Learned
I have an amazing husband. Whether I model or not, he's behind me in everything and thinks it's great that I'm pursuing so many of my dreams. I've also learned that I like juggling a lot of things at once. Right now finishing school is my first and foremost goal. Once I get my degree, I'd love to pursue modeling some more. In five years I see myself as a healthcare professional who models fashion on the side. But if somebody offered me a full-time gig or a contract right now, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Another point for Jovani! It's a short dress but not a body hugger. A style like this has such a wide audience because the belt shows off the waist and then the skirt blooms, flattering both narrow and curvy figures. The lace overlay on top and the empire waist are nods to the vintage movement that's popped up but the beaded belt and unique embroidery add a classy, sexy edge. Overall, if feels like a versatile piece, appropriate at a nice dinner or at a bar, dancing on the floor.

Our Niners insiders believe the current state of the team's secondary is cause for more than a little concern. For starters (literally), both of the Niners' first-team corners — RCB Shawntae Spencer and LCB Nate Clements — have been nowhere to be seen so far this offseason.
Word is Spencer is staying away because he is unhappy with his contract situation. In the case of Clements, who had arguably been considered the most conscientious Niner in previous offseasons, we hear he continues to harbor resentment over being benched last season before suffering a season-ending broken right shoulder blade and is opting to work out on his own in Arizona for the time being. Even though teammate Michael Lewis, who has been keeping in touch with Clements, has told our sources that Clements is in outstanding shape, the potential for problems in the pass defense has been hard to ignore.
"The secondary could be a real Achilles' heel," said one insider. "It continued to give up a lot of passing yards last season, which has been a trend for the last decade, and it's just not a good thing to have both your starting corners off somewhere else."
It's also worth noting that Taylor Mays, the Niners' second-round draft pick whom many expected to seriously challenge Lewis for the starting strong safety job, appears to have been a relative nonfactor up to now. "It is surprising that he hasn't gotten many snaps at all," the insider said. "I'm not sure what is going on with him."

Angus Spires was completing his mission for comfort food at Reid's Grocery Store in Warrenville, South Carolina. "Snacks is what I got, snacking," Angus said.
Shoppers know in troubling times you can find solace at the grocery store.
"When I think of comfort food...macaroni and cheese," says Sunshine White, of Aiken County.
Of course macaroni and cheese. I'm going to get the family size, which serves two and a half. Better get get another on...
"Ice cream," says Ethel Ramsey.
there's lots of choices when it comes to ice cream, but with a name like Snickerdoodle, it's got to be good.
There's some peace and harmony over in hot foods. What's on the menu, making this day a little better?
"Meat loaf, rice, collards," said one man in the deli section.
That's comfort food, and I'm wondering if he would be willing to share. After all, we are all going through these troubling times together.
"Of course not," he said.
"My favorite is the chicken tenders," said Jerry Goodwin, saying he was in search of comfort food as well.
There is a tremendous selection of comfort food at the store. You could even get rice cakes. No sorry, taking little comfort in that selection.
"Oreo cookies," says Nancy Garlick, "but the mint ones, has to be has to be mint," she said.
So, the last few days haven't been so sweet, but you can ease a little bit of the sadness.
There's never too big a hole a little comfort food can't fill. By the way, check out those doughnuts.

I've lived in this city off and on for about 15 years, and many of those years have been spent in various homes in Civic Center. We have a number of programs that have developed over the years to address the problem, but it seems to me that we are a long long way from solving it. Is this an issue that will mark San Francisco forever? Would there be a better chance of solving the problem if we could reach homeless people within their first year on the streets? What would a targeted program look like?
Re: Homelessness
Homelessness is a growing problem - and it's an issue that too many politicians avoid and sweep under the rug like it doesn't exist.
What do you think about Sit-Lie? Could it really help or would it just create new problems?
I've talked to a few shop owners and they say that they spray the sidewalk with a hose every morning because then the drifters and homeless won't perch outside their door. Sounds like a pretty simple, short-term fix.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I think that the only way of truly addressing homelessness is to do it before people become homeless. There are structural issues that need to be addressed. Once people become homeless there is a lot less that can be done, it is much more difficult to rehabilitate someone at that point. The Sit-Lie idea doesn't really address anything beyond neighborhood aesthetics. No one likes homeless people sitting in front of stores, but I'm not sure making it illegal is doing anything to address the problem of homelessness. Also, I think trying to reach people in their first year of homelessness is good, but I'm not sure its early enough.
I don't think we can think of homelessness as one monolithic problem. Having lived near 6th and Natoma now for a number of years it's clear that there are several populations that need different approaches. First, there are the obvious problems with individuals who are clearly mentally ill, addicted, sleeping, defecating etc on the street and have no investment in their neighborhood. I think this is a minority of the homeless population but obviously gets a lot of attention is just the most visible tip of homelessness.. The larger group is individuals who are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, would like a safe environment for their kids and if lucky have jobs that probably pay less then living wages.
For the first group-they are clearly not able to care for them selves and the city needs to provide a safe clean living environment that they are required to live in-sorry if that goes against personal freedom etc, but as a citizen I think I also have a right to a clean safe neighborhood where I don't have to scrape poop and vomit of the sidewalk every morning. And it would certainly be less expensive than repeatedly scraping folks off the side walk for emergency room visits . As a City we need to say that it's not OK to live on the street-our homeless animals get better treatment then homeless citizens. This is the group that the Sit-Lie idea would probably be the most effective for.
For the second group, subsidized housing, rent, child care and educational/vocational opportunities provided by the city would hopefully give people a chance to get on their fee and into the work force. I would target resources primarily to this group as they are the ones most likely to be successful in getting out of the homeless spiral
Used to have Empathy
I really used to have empathy for the homeless. I would volunteer, help at shelters, let the guy have shelter in the doorway every now and again. But after being spit on by a homeless guy in the financial district, cleaning up excrement by my house in the mission, and being cursed out by a woman sleeping on my car... I have just had enough.
I want a solution now, not some giant social change. Put them in camps in the city, ship them out to death valley, or use them as barriers on the golden gate... I just don't care anymore. Some people simply cannot be helped, why should we have to deal with them.
Get them out of the city or contained.
Take care of SF homeless --ONLY
San Francisco has one of the highest homeless populations in the country. One reason is because we provide so many services - which is not a bad thing - but this encourages people from other parts of the country to come here when they become down and out. Some come from the East or Midwest and some come from other parts of California.
Each year SF publishes how many people have been gotten off the streets and into housing. Yet, magically, the number of people who are homeless never decreases. Somehow, no matter how much housing is found and how many homeless are housed, the number of homeless seems to remain at 6,000 - 8,000 (depending on who's counting). One would think that if we provide housing for 1,000 a year that in 8 years we'd have no more homeless. But we can barely stay even.
We are and should be responsible for taking care of homeless people who became homeless while they were living in SF. But people who became homeless when they lost their job in NY, Texas, AZ, etc., should be utilizing the homeless services back where they lived when they became homeless. It isn't fair to SF residents to be expected to take care of our homeless and the homeless from the rest of the country.
All of the agencies receiving any contracts or grants from the City (i.e., MY tax dollars) should have a process in place that validates that the homeless person being provided with food or services is really a San Franciscan. Do they have any ID that shows they had a valid residence in SF before they became homeless? Driver's license, old pay stub, rent receipt, utility bill? Sure, lots of people become homeless while living in SF and we should do our darndest to help them. But, if they arrived in SF already homeless, the City will already give them a one way ticket home.
We need to help San Francisco's homeless, but we give money to too many different groups and we do not have any residency tests that enable us to help only SF homeless - instead we help homeless from all over the bay area, the state and the country. Just because they manage to get to SF while homeless doesn't make us responsible for them. Sorry, but if you were living in LA and became homeless there, it doesn't mean you are entitled to help in SF - other than a one-way ticket back to LA.
Cruel, heartless, yes. Fair to SF taxpayers, also yes. Lose your job, your apartment, your income while you are housed in SF and sure, we'll help you out, but I would cut the strings to any group that doesn't have a way to only help people who were residents of SF when they became homeless.
And for those who want to help other homeless, then kindly donate your money to one of the churches or other groups that doesn't take any city funding. City funding for city residents. Only.
How do you know these bums are really homeless or are just out panhandling for the day / night? The SOR's (single occupancy rooms) are full of bums in the Tenderloin, therefore y definition not homeless; just lazy bums. So, before you dignify a bum's existence by calling him / her "homeless," stop and ask if they really are ! Have a nice day.
I was homeless
I was homeless. I had been homeless for 20 years. Kicked out of a dysfunctional house at the age of 17. Life to me was homeless camps, soup lines, drugs and jails. I was convinced I would die or be killed in this lifestyle. I was convinced I was insane. I was convinced that my lot was my fault and that there was no way out.
At the age of 37 I was approached by the HOT team. Homeless out reach team. These folks gave me a hotel room Set me up with medical and psychiatric providers. Who in turn diagnosed me with severe PTSD. It was here I learned that at the age of 7 there was nothing I could have done to deserve to be beaten with a leather belt to the point that blood welts were left on my body. This is how my parents treated me. My grandfather did worse. This is not the appropriate format so I will not go into details.
Currently I am in therapy with a short term goal of going to City Collage next semester. I live in a real apartment I have hope that in 18 months I can be gainfully employed. None of this would be possible with out the programs currently at work in the city. The Homeless Outreach Team makes a difference with the city's chronically homeless.
Their is another program called The Forensic team They are from UCSF. They work the mental health side, I am forever in their debt.
Bottom line there are programs that work well in this city. I hope they are never given up on.
Teach a man to fish
Teach a man to fish and he'll never need a handout.
help needed
All of us are in some state of brokenness, but the brokenness differs much for each of us as with each homeless person. Our city programs need to look closely and with much care for each homeless person and deal with the different issues that need to be addressed. This will take good case management. Life is precious and we need to focus on what interventions can help save lives and make the homeless productive.
Send the Homeless Home!
In today's Chronicle there is a story about the cost of McDonalds being too high for the homeless. It actually states:
"Still, people like Newhart, who moved from Tennessee to the streets of San Francisco five years ago, say they are often hungrier than usual."
Hello? Anyone out there realize what is being said here? These are NOT San Francisco's Homeless! These are the homeless from all over America who come here for our homeless programs. Let this Tennessee guy get his meals at a McDonalds in Tennessee!
I KNOW the City has - or used to have - a program to provide homeless with a one-way ticket home. It was voluntary and the person needed to have family back home. I think we should strengthen that program and send the homeless back to their real homes. period. Let the state or city that made them homeless take care of them.
I am more than willing to contribute to those citizens of SF who became homeless while they were living here. Education, job training, child care, housing, food - whatever it takes to care for OUR city's homeless. But I draw the line there. You lose your job and home in Tennessee, it's really sad. But you should get your low cost Dollar Menu meals in Tennessee. And your city sponsored programs and your subsidies and counseling and training and everything else in Tennessee.
San Francisco is a generous, caring and compassionate city. But compassion can only go so far, and taking care of our own needs to come first - charity begins at home.
One way ticket home - change we can count on!
gnerosity and humanity
g cotter, you are possibly the most vocal and uninformed person on this site-- you want to send the homeless home? Most homeless become homeless because to some degree or another they are escaping bad situations like physical and//or emotional abuse, cultural intolerance, and poverty in communities where there are no jobs.
This is a complex social problem in a city with one of the wealthiest populations in the world. This is a great town for fundraising for sexy causes, or causes that affect the privileged, and yet with all of the money in SF, very few fundraising efforts are directed toward supporting real services for the homeless.
Newsom cut vouchers after he campaigned with the tag line "services not vouchers". Where are the services? A doctor who works with SF General's Mental Health Wing, opens his home to throw fundraising parties that support mental health services for low income people and the homeless, but I know of no one else who does this in a city that loves to throw parties and celebrate it's wealth.
San Francisco could set an example for the rest of the United States, but unfortunately some San Franciscan's would prefer to stay insulated within their privilege, and criminalize the homeless rather than behave with generosity and humanity.
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing your story joe 1967.
To Sunny
I don't disagree with your goals or desires - I just disagree about who pays for them. My references to donations out of the area was because you opined that people came here from other places because other places couldn't provide for them - my comment was meant to show that money can be donated to other areas so they can take care of their own. As for San Francisco, I gave blood last week following the San Bruno fire because that took blood away from the city. The same day I also dropped off cookies at the fire house to say "Thanks." I delivered meals for Project Open Hand for 10 years, spent 3 years on the Board of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and I've done other volunteer activities and made many personal donations to local organizations. Usually once a week I'm out painting over the graffiti in my neighborhood. I can and have given to San Francisco as, I'm sure, you and everyone who posts on this site have done.
But the city has a budget problem. There isn't enough money to pay for all the items you and I and others would like to see done. We are a rich city but we also have one of the highest per capita budgets of any city in the US. We used to have the highest but I think New York caught up. Our per capita budget is over $8,000. We have a city budget of $6,500,000,000 for a city of 810,000 people. We must examine where our money goes and allocate it rationally.
You and I may never agree on some aspects of allocation. That's OK. Each different cause each needs a cadre of passionate supporters or some important needs wouldn't be addressed at all.

Shawnee is a great place to live. In fact, the city was named as the no. 17 best place to live in the United States on CNN Money's 2010 list. Shawnee boasts an unrivaled sense of community with friendly local residents who are open and welcoming to newcomers. Nestled in the southwestern suburbs of Kansas City, Shawnee has always stood on its own with a plethora of local opportunities. The city lives under the slogan "Shawnee, Kansas… Good Starts Here," which shows how much people here believe in the community. Look for Shawnee apartments for rent, and join more than 63,000 residents who enjoy a high quality of life in the Midwest.
Shawnee's history dates back to the prehistoric era when the Shawnee Indians used the location as the political and religious center of the tribe. With a location on the Ft. Leavenworth/Ft. Scott military road, Shawnee was tied to the government-organized transportation routes that connected settlements in the Civil War era. In the mid-1800s, branches of the Oregon, California and Santa Fe Trails forged through the area, leading to increased trade and accessibility with other parts of the country. After the war, Shawnee became a very important agricultural service town, known as one of the leading fruit and vegetable producers in the Midwest. Local farmers supported the town through the Great Depression and allowed Shawnee residents to have a more favorable fare than many other parts of the country.
In the second half of the 20th century, Shawnee emerged as a rapidly growing city with an ethnic population and stimulating community involvement. Although Shawnee is a suburb of Kansas City, many people identify Monrovia and Zarah as suburbs of Shawnee. Residents fuel the local landscape with a larger range of activities and opportunities than most suburbs, allowing Shawnee to become a self-contained community and keeping Shawnee apartments in high demand.
The Central Baptist Theological Seminary may be the only school in town, but there are a number of traditional college opportunities located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. MidAmerica Nazarene University, Johnson County Community College and the Art Institutes International Kansas City join Avila University, the University of Missouri at Kansas City and Rockhurst University downtown in offering students a well-rounded college experience.
For those seeking work, Shawnee is home to a number of lucrative business industries. Professional and business services, retail, manufacturing and healthcare and social services are the dominant sectors in the area, joined by education, F.I.R.E, construction and natural resources, information and transportation and warehousing to make up most of the Shawnee workforce. The Shawnee Mission Medical Center is one of the largest employers in town with approximately 2,800 people working in medical, administrative and other support positions. Quest Diagnostics, Ivy Investment Management Company and the JCPenney Distribution Center are other top employers here, each providing jobs for more than 1,200 local residents.
With all of the perks of the Midwestern lifestyle, residents in Shawnee pay very reasonable rent prices. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, the standard apartment in Shawnee costs $770 a month. That's $100 less than the national average. Everyday living expenses are also very affordable in Shawnee. The city received a cost of living index of 88.1, which is well below the United States average of 100.
Shawnee has many must-see attractions. The 1950s All-Electric House at the Johnson County Museum of History offers an eye-opening look at the technology of the era, with "futuristic" features like electric curtain openers, trendy appliances, moon glow lighting and hidden televisions. Visitors can take a guided tour and understand why a home in the suburbs was part of the American dream in the 1950s. Residents can also get a taste of the past on the Historical Walking Tour, which showcases 18 points of interest around Shawnee for historians and trail enthusiasts.
Shawnee is home to the annual Scarecrow Festival, where kids can paint pumpkins and build scarecrows, and local businesses can participate in the Scarecrow Contest. The festival also features a farmers market and a baking contest with pumpkin pie, fruit pie and pumpkin bread categories. The Shawnee Great Grillers Blues and Barbeque State Championship also takes place annually in town, featuring the best of Midwestern barbeque. More than 100 teams compete for cash prizes and bragging rights in many different barbeque categories including a "People's Choice" that is voted on by public judges. Other local favorite events include Oktoberfest, the John Glaser Memorial 5K and Holiday Treasures Craft Festival.

A Vascularized Bioreactor for Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering
Funding Type:
Tools and Technologies II
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 794 060
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
For the millions of Americans who are born with or develop heart disease, stem cell research offers the first real hope of reversing or repairing heart muscle damage. In addition to their regenerative potential, human stem cells offer an unprecedented opportunity to study mechanisms of human disease and develop and test novel therapies. However, these new applications are limited by the lack of culture conditions that replicate complex tissue structures. Theses limitations are particularly apparent for many cardiovascular diseases. Thus, there is a great need for laboratory biotechnologies that replicate the 3-D microenvironment and conditions seen in patients. We propose to create synthetic human heart muscle in culture with perfused bioreactors. Bioreactors are contained reaction vessels for the controlled culture of cells to create tissues in a dish. The models and knowledge gained from these studies will facilitate the creation of cardiovascular disease-in-a-dish models and systems to reliably screen new therapies.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are the #1 killer in California. Despite medical advances, heart disease remains a leading cause of disability and death. Recent estimates of its cost to the U.S. healthcare system amounts to almost $300 billion dollars. Although current therapies slow the progression of heart disease, there are few, if any options, to reverse or repair damage. Thus, regenerative therapies that restore normal heart function would have an enormous societal and financial impact not only on Californians, but the U.S. more generally. The research that is proposed in this application could lead to new therapies that would restore heart function after and heart attack and prevent the development of heart failure and death. We will develop the techniques and models that will allow the development and testing of cardiovascular therapies. Combining tissue engineering with disease-specific human pluripotent stem cells will facilitate the creation of cardiovascular disease-in-a-dish models and systems to reliably screen new therapies.
Review Summary:
The goal of this proposal is to develop a bioreactor for three-dimensional (3-D) cardiovascular tissue engineering, thereby overcoming the limitations of 2-D culture systems and more accurately modeling native cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. The bioreactor consists of a scaffold prepared from decellularized animal tissue, which is vascularized using human endothelial (blood vessel) cells to enable metabolite exchange within the tissue construct. This vascularized construct is then seeded with human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiac cells. In the first aim, the applicants will create and characterize the physiologic properties of this engineered human cardiac tissue system. In aim 2, the applicants will optimize the vascularized bioreactor to best recapitulate the properties of human heart tissue. The goal of aim 3 is to create and characterize a 3-D model of human cardiac disease in vitro, using this system. The reviewers believed this application focuses on an important goal and has the potential to advance the utility of hPSCs in the study of cardiac development, drug screening, and cardiac regenerative therapies. Reviewers differed in their opinion regarding the novelty of the proposed bioengineering technology, and found the approaches for cardiac cell generation to be neither novel nor especially up-to-date. However, they did appreciate that the preliminary data demonstrate the investigators' ability to generate and characterize cardiac cells. The reviewers raised several criticisms about the application's feasibility and experimental design. Concerns were expressed regarding the composition of the cell population that will be incorporated into the tissue construct. Though the preliminary data show the applicant's ability to generate a highly purified cardiac progenitor population, a substantial fraction of these cells become a cell type other than cardiomyocytes (CM). These non-CMs may have positive or negative effects on cardiac tissue development, and reviewers felt the omission of a systematic examination of the contribution of supporting cell types, like endothelial cells or cardiac fibroblasts, was a critical flaw in experimental design. Reviewers noted a lack of experimental detail regarding cell seeding parameters in general, and for aim 2 specifically, and were unclear if uniform cell coverage within the tissue construct can be achieved. A systematic approach toward overcoming potential limitations was lacking in the application and raised concern. Reviewers considered the size of the engineered cardiac tissue and the many potential sources of variability a considerable challenge, and cautioned that decellularized tissue-based bioreactors create poorly defined environments that would be difficult to extend into high throughput and high-content approaches necessary for disease modeling. Reviewers commended the premise and design of aim 3, and considered access to tissue samples from patients with cardiac disease a strength. The Principal Investigator (PI) is an accomplished clinical cardiologist with a large number of high impact publications that address the analysis of normal and PSC-derived cardiomyocytes. A Partner-PI funded through a collaborative funding partner provides critical expertise in bioengineering, and reviewers appreciated that this working relationship is already in existence. Additional collaborations support the team's cell and tissue electrophysiology and stem cell expertise. Overall, the budget seems appropriate and well justified for the scope of the proposed work. In summary, the PI proposes to develop an in vitro 3-D cardiac tissue model with hPSC-derived CM using a vascularized bioreactor. Though the reviewers appreciated the PI's and team's expertise and the potential impact of the proposed studies, a lack of innovation and limitations in the experimental approach diminished their enthusiasm. Thus, the application was not recommended for funding.

It hasn't been a great day for Colts injury news, and perhaps the most significant piece of injury news was that wide receiver LaVon Brazill - who missed practice yesterday with a foot injury - was in a walking boot today.
WR LaVon Brazill not practicing on Thursday. Right foot in a boot.— Tom James (@TribStarTJames) December 12, 2013
The injury to Brazill leaves his status for Sunday in doubt - not yet ruled out, but not looking good either. And it comes at not only a bad time for the Colts but also for Brazill himself, who had a great game last weekend against the Bengals, playing 42 snaps and catching 3 passes for 53 yards and 2 touchdowns. Chuck Pagano has been talking this week about how Brazill, along with Da'Rick Rogers, have definitely earned more playing time.
Now, however, Brazill's status is in doubt after he was seen Thursday in a walking boot. We don't want to rule him out prematurely, but it's not a good sign. If he can't go this Sunday against the Houston Texans, it would leave the Colts with just 3 wide receivers - T.Y. Hilton, Da'Rick Rogers, and Darrius Heyward-Bey. They wouldn't go with just 3 receivers, which makes the fact that the Colts worked out Deion Branch even more interesting. This from Mike Chappell this morning:
Can confirm #colts worked out Deion Branch. Doing due diligence, just in case. Nothing imminent.— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) December 12, 2013
Branch is an intriguing name to Colts fans, as he was Tom Brady's longtime receiver and has had a successful career in the NFL. But I don't expect the Colts to really sign Branch. I think, as Chappell suggested, that it was just the Colts doing their due dilegence now that they very well might be left with only 3 healthy receivers on Sunday. The fact that the Colts haven't yet signed Branch after his Tuesday tryout suggests that they probably won't, especially given that Branch would have benefitted from extra time to learn the offense. And even if the Colts did sign Branch now, he likely wouldn't play Sunday because he would still be learning and getting up to speed.
That's why I would expect Griff Whalen to be called up if LaVon Brazill can't play Sunday. Whalen is currently on the Colts practice squad but has spent time on the active roster this year, catching 9 passes for 102 yards and getting 5 first downs in 6 games played. He would be a much better number 4 wide receiver option for this Sunday than Deion Branch would be to the Colts, because Whalen knows the system.
Hopefully, Brazill's boot is just a precaution and that he will play Sunday, but we just don't know and it admittedly doesn't appear good right now. That would mean - yes - more DHB than many would like this weekend. Let's hope Brazill plays. This from Kevin Bowen today:
Both Pep Hamilton and LaVon Brazill sounded confident that Brazill would be ready to go on Sunday despite not practicing the last 2 days.— Kevin Bowen (@KBowenColts) December 12, 2013
Brazill said he believes his right foot got stepped on during the game Sunday: "Nothing major. I should be out there Sunday."— Kevin Bowen (@KBowenColts) December 12, 2013
Let's hope that is indeed the case and that Brazill is playing on Sunday. Some other injury news to report today from practice:
#colts G Hugh Thornton practicing again. No sign yet of Samson Satele or Stanley Havili. Or Greg Toler— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) December 12, 2013
The fact that Greg Toler wasn't spotted at practice shouldn't surprise anybody, as he hasn't been spotted at practice much at all since the Broncos game, save a few practice appearances here and there. Actually, he was limited in practice yesterday - but not seen today. That probably isn't a good sign for his chances of playing this Sunday either.
Also not at practice was Samson Satele, who is dealing with an elbow injury and wasn't at practice yesterday either. Since Thursday and Friday practices are usually telling as to who is ready to play, it is also very possible that the Colts will be without Satele on Sunday - yet another offensive line injury the Colts are dealing with. If that is the case and Satele indeed cannot play, it is likely that Mike McGlynn would move to center (where he was better at earlier in the season than Satele and was better at center than at guard) and that Joe Reitz (who started at left guard last week and played well) and Hugh Thornton (who missed last week but was practicing today and did yesterday as well) would be the starting guards. It would make sense to start Reitz at left guard (where he is better at) and move Thornton to right guard, where we can only hope that he is better than he has been than at left guard.
Lastly, fullback Stanley Havili wasn't seen at practice today either, and he did not practice yesterday with a foot injury. Of all the injured guys, Havili might be the biggest loss just because of the role he plays in the Colts offense and the fact that he actually has played well this season. Say what you want about the offensive style and if you don't like the Colts using a fullback, that's one thing - I'd rather they didn't, either, and use a more pass-friendly offensive style. But regardless of your thoughts on the system, you can't ignore that Havili has played well this year and is especially useful as a pass-catching back - something many fullbacks can't really do. [Going further, with all of the criticism of Ryan Grigson's offseason moves - which is 100% accurate and deserving - the trade to get Havili was actually a very good one.]
Also, Ricky Jean Francois (foot) did not practice yesterday after missing this past Sunday's game and will miss the next few weeks. Personally, my target return date for him is the playoffs. Jeff Linkenbach (quad) also did not practice yesterday after missing the Bengals game, and neither did Robert Mathis, although his was just due to rest.
