One day after the conclusion of one of the worst seasons in franchise history, Colts owner Jim Irsay dismissed vice chairman Bill Polian and GM Chris Polian.
Irsay has yet to announce a decision on the fate of head coach Jim Caldwell and his staff. It is likely he will hire a new GM and allow the GM to review the coaching staff before making that decision, although Irsay said Monday that is not set in stone. He added that Caldwell "very well could be back next year."
Bill Polian, who joined the Colts in 1998 and drafted future Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning first overall that year, oversaw 10 postseason appearances and two trips to the Super Bowl, including a win in Super Bowl XLI. But a 2-14 season, in which the Polians badly underestimated the talent on the roster behind Manning, proved to be too much for one of the great personnel evaluators the game has ever known.
Chris Polian, who had taken on more responsibility behind the scenes in recent years, was said to be the driving force behind the removal of many long-tenured members of the coaching and scouting department since he became GM.
After nine consecutive playoff appearances, the Colts experienced a shocking free fall this season without Manning, who missed the entire season after undergoing his third neck surgery in 19 months in July. Irsay, who said he did not make a decision on the Polians until this morning, said this sharp of a decline was impossible to imagine less than two years removed from a Super Bowl appearance.
The dismissal of the Polians, who drew great ire from the Colts' fan base this season, could be just the first chip to fall for the Colts, who could be on the verge of a complete rebuilding process.
That is dependent on what happens with Manning, owed a $28 million bonus that triggers the final four years of his five-year, $90 million deal before the league year begins. Manning continues to rehab his neck surgery but there has been no timetable outlined for his return.
The Colts hold the top pick in the '12 draft, and are widely expected to select Stanford QB Andrew Luck.
Indianapolis has several other key veterans on the roster whose contracts have expired, including former Pro Bowlers WR Reggie Wayne, DE Robert Mathis and C Jeff Saturday.
The PFW Spin
Although Irsay is a strong believer in keeping continuity, he spoke Monday of how he felt intuitively that it was time for a change. One of the main themes during his press conference to announce the changes was "unity and an organization all heading in the same direction." There were numerous instances of Bill Polian not being on the same page with the front office, coaching staff and players this season.
A sure-fire future Hall of Famer, Polian did a marvelous job building one of the great dynasties the NFL has seen, led by Manning, but all good things must come to an end. Polian also fell out of favor in both Buffalo and Carolina — despite very successful tenures — but winning cures most things. With the losses mounting this season, Polian, who's notorious for his arrogance and stubbornness, became too difficult to tolerate, we hear. Irsay painted broad strokes on this issue, saying multiple times what a difficult decision this was to remove someone he has known for 30 years. But he also used the word "deficiencies" on several occasions, and spoke about timing and energy playing a large role in his decision.
Polian's personnel gaffes, of course, were likely the leading contributor to his removal. The Colts' defense was underequipped from Day One and the backup QB situation was a nightmare. Indianapolis was woefully thin in the secondary and the Colts waited until just two weeks before the season to bring in an experienced backup QB, Kerry Collins. What's worse, they stuck with third-stringer Curtis Painter far too long once Collins went down, which looked even worse after Dan Orlovsky finally was given a chance and provided a major spark late in the season.
After hitting home runs in the draft in the form of Manning, Dwight Freeney, Dallas Clark, Wayne and Bob Sanders among others, Polian's recent drafting record has declined. Irsay discussed Polian's "magical, very rare talent in evaluating players," but the magic seemed to run out in recent years. Fans still lament misses on OL Tony Ugoh and Mike Pollak, and last season's top overall pick, Jerry Hughes, has been a complete nonfactor.
If Caldwell is eventually relieved, his resistance to change this season will have hurt his cause. Although the Colts were not built to be a passing team without Manning, it took the head coach two-thirds of the season before he finally accepted that reality and leaned more on the running game. When a team loses its first 13 games, major changes better have happened along the way to find solutions. Simply put: they did not and Caldwell also could be held responsible.
Still, the key difference between Caldwell and the Polians is that Caldwell never lost the locker room; clearly, there were guys who did not trust Polian. His public spats with Manning were a prime example.
So, where do the Colts go from here?
Irsay will begin interviewing GM candidates immediately. However, he specifically said this is a much more complex situation than in '97, when Bill Tobin was dismissed and Bill Polian was hired within two days. Irsay expects this process to "be more extensive, perhaps taking multiple weeks," he said.
If the new hire decides Caldwell is not the right guy for the job — and Irsay said the head coach "could very well be back next year," having the rights to Luck in their back pocket makes the Colts a very attractive destination — with or without Manning.
But remember: Irsay just last week said Manning would be back with the Colts if he proved he was healthy and Irsay was confident Manning could regain his prior form in time for next season.
Don't expect that to change.
The decision on Manning ultimately will be made by Irsay, who is very close with Manning and made that very clear during his press conference.
"On major issues with the franchise — and it has been this way since Bill [Polian] was hired — I have final say," Irsay reiterated.
Although we don't yet know the fate of Caldwell, one can bet that "rock star" candidates like Jeff Fisher and Bill Cowher —and maybe even ESPN's Jon Gruden — would be in play if the job comes open. Irsay is quite fond of Fisher and the door swung open for Cowher now that Polian's ego is removed from the equation.
It is critical to have a vision and direction back to greatness," Irsay said. "A game plan on how to get there."
The planning begins now in what is sure to be a very important offseason for the Colts' organization.

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- With all the media publicity over Karen King's release of information about the fragment of "Jesus' wife," pastors likely will receive questions from members this weekend or in the near future.
For us, there will be two main questions. First, was Jesus married and does it matter? Second, what does "she will be able to be my disciple" mean in the discussion over proper women's roles? I was interviewed by a local media representative, and since I had to do a little research I thought I would share it with others.
The Facts About the Fragment:
-- The fragment is smaller than a business card, with eight lines on one side legible under a magnifying glass, with about four words per line.
-- The fragment comes from the middle of a text, which means you lose context on all sides.
-- They think the fragment comes from the fourth century. It is written in an Egyptian language -- Coptic, and is thought to be a translation of a second-century document. This has not yet been verified.
The Facts About Karen King:
-- The Hollis Professor of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School, she holds the oldest endowed chair in the United States (1721).
-- Her books include "The Secret Revelation of John;" "The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle;" "What Is Gnosticism?;" "Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity;" "Revelation of the Unknowable God;" "Images of the Feminine in Gnosticism" (editor); and "Women and Goddess Traditions in Antiquity and Today" (editor).
-- King currently is teaching a class titled "Women, Sex, and Gender in Ancient Christianity."
-- For reference purposes, King has named the "gospel" of which this is a part the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife."
No matter how good a fish tale you weave, this fragment is small. You can see the translation at Boston.com (http://www.bo.st/PUeBsU). Also, the document dates too late to have impact. The Gospels have authenticity because of the date of their writing, the connection to an eyewitness, and consistency with the rule of faith. Any fragment too far removed from Jesus' time loses credibility because of the distance from Jesus' life, and we can't know who wrote it or what agenda that person may have had. At best, this document tells us what some people were thinking in the second or fourth century. Yes, it is interesting, but no, it does not change anything. Bottom line is that we have older and more reliable documents in our Bibles.
Check the sponsors. King has an agenda. The naming of the fragment and the naming of the gospel play into her research field of women's roles and unknown gospel accounts. This is like a hunting show demonstrating how you can't kill a deer without a Rage broadhead on your arrow. Then at the end of the show you find out the only sponsor is Rage. While King may be considered a fine academic scholar, she has an agenda.
Was Jesus married? The New Testament never says so. We would expect to find this information in the Gospels if Jesus had a wife. Furthermore, Paul, when discussing this issue of marriage, notes in 1 Corinthians 9:5 that Peter was married. He likely would have stated Jesus also married to make his point, but he doesn't. Most theories of Jesus' wife have him married to Mary Magdalene. Even King says it is unlikely that Mary was Jesus' wife because she is known by the area of her birth, and if she was married, she would be known by her husband.
What about women disciples? Jesus treated women better than did anyone of that time. He had believers and followers who were women, and He appeared to a woman first after the resurrection. So if "disciple" means "follower," which it likely does in the second or fourth century, then there is not an issue here. But don't miss the possible agenda. The New Testament clearly lists that men made up the twelve. The deacons chosen in Acts were men. Scripture gives the man the authority in the home and in the church.
At the end of the day, this unverified fourth century Coptic fragment from an unknown source written by an unknown author doesn't compare to the New Testament record in our Bibles. So we should take advantage of this opportunity to reassure our congregations of the reliability of Scripture and warn them of the feminist agenda that pervades our society.

I want to increase the size of my bicepts naturally, and in the quickest time. Right now they are 13.5 inches flexed. I curl usually with 30 pounds, and I do 3 reps of 10 or 12. However I haven't seen any results. I would like them to be around 15 inches. Does anyone have a good workout they would like to share so that I may reach my goal. Thanks.

Bro, there is a sticky at the top of the board about your biceps, how the **** did you miss it?
Do biceps with back, train them to failure with about three sets in the 8-10 rep range. Use strict form, and train your tri's also. If you want big arms you've got to train your tri's too, there is no point in having big bicepts if you dont have any tri's. Your probably not eating enough either.

Government Shutdown: How will it affect immigration filings?
Although the USCIS continues to function much as it always does, the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, is shut down. This means that no labor condition applications for H-1Bs may be filed, nor any applications for permanent employment certification under the PERM system. As the law requires that all H-1B petitions be supported by a certified labor condition application, H-1B petitions may not be filed with the USCIS. The American Iimmigration Lawyers Association is seeking guidance from the USCIS with respect to handling this situation, but it it is doubtful that the USCIS would agree to accept any filing without, at least, having evidence of a filed labor condition application. As soon as we have additional information, we will post it.
The Senate has released an outline of the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013". It is scheduled to be introduced this week. Plenty to like as well as dislike. As with all things relating to immigration, the devil will be in the details. Outline
USCIS H-1B Receipt Issuance
USCIS has started the data entry process for H-1B petitions selected in the lottery. Premium processing cases are being handled first and data entry for those cases should be completed by April 15. Data entry for non-premium processing cases will begin after the premium processing cases are entered. Data entry for non-premium cases will likely not be completed until sometime in mid-to-late May, and rejection notices for petitions not selected in the lottery will be sent out after that. Non-premium processing cases can only be converted to premium processing after a receipt notice is issued. "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 13041600 (posted Apr. 16, 2013)"
As of April 15, 2013, approximately 124,000 H-1B cap subject petitions were received by the USCIS. A lottery is being implemented to select first, petitions filed under the Masters cap provision. Once 20,000 petitions have been selected, the Master's cap petitions will be added back into the pool. A lottery will be conducted to select aprpoximately 65,000 "regular cap" H-1B petitions. Receipts are expected in approximately two weeks.

USCIS has started the data entry process for H-1B petitions selected in the lottery. Premium processing cases are being handled first and data entry for those cases should be completed by April 15th. Data entry for non-premium petitions will begin only after the premium petitions are entered. It is expected that it may take until mid-to-late May before all petitions are entered and receipt notices issued. Rejection notices for petitions not selected in the lottery will be sent out after that. Please note that non-premium cases can only be converted to premium processing after a receipt notice is issued. (AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 13041600, posted April 16, 2013)

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago authorities say a person arrested in New Jersey is the third to be charged in the death of a man who was dismembered and buried on Chicago's southwest side earlier this year.
Daisy Gutierrez and her father, Salvador Gutierrez, were charged in October in the death of Jose Reyes.
Chicago police said Sunday that 22-year-old Milton Miranda was arrested in Morristown, N.J. He was extradited by the Chicago authorities.
He faces first-degree murder. It was immediately unclear if he has an attorney. A telephone number couldn't be located Sunday.
He's previously been identified as Daisy Gutierrez's boyfriend.
Prosecutors allege she invited Reyes to her home on May 21. Prosecutors have claimed Gutierrez's boyfriend kicked in the door and killed Reyes with a pipe and a knife before decapitating him.

Daly's Buck Tavern, a progressive hangout, is closing
When leftist firebrand Chris Daly left the Board of Supervisors two years ago, amid political treachery that effectively ended a decade of progressive control over the body, the bar that he took over and operated – the Buck Tavern – became a gathering place for progressive activists. It was almost like a government in exile following a coup d'etat.
That changed a bit over the last year as Daly became the full-time political director of SEIU Local 1021 and dropped his regular bartending gigs, although the Buck still showcased community events. But as their lease was set to expire on Oct. 31, Daly and co-owner Ted Strawser were unable to negotiate a new one on terms they could afford, to find a new space, or to find a buyer that would keep the Buck running.
So the Buck Tavern, under the helm of a politico that the SF Weekly once-dubbed Captain Outrageous – in an article recognizing his role in getting a better deal for the city hosting the America's Cup (and, of course, denying ours) – is set to sink at the witching hour on Halloween. That's right, the Buck is going under.
"We've been able to do some really cool things with the space in terms of housing a community of people," Daly told us. "We had a good run."
That community is invited for a last hurrah at the Buck on Oct. 31, with nautical-themed costumes requested. So, ye scurvy dogs, come grab some grog and toast the motley crew that proudly sailed these stormy seas before they descend to Davy Jones locker. Arghhh!
First Julian Davis and now this.
To add insult to injury, a tech startup named Square just signed a lease to house 1,000 jobs in mid market, near Twitter. What could be worse than another 1,000 well paying jobs being located in what was a blighted part of the city?
Like I said, bad days for Progressives.
Yep. Still works great!
Tech "startup" Square is relocating from 5th and Market where they are claimed by at least one sfgate business blogger to house 400 employees. Relocating to four floors of the huge 1455 Market Bank of America facility will bring their *total* to 1000... by the end of 2013... supposedly... might be have sumptin' to do with an IPO... who knows.
In any case, we've already *seen* this movie. Willie Brown was mayor. Remember?
No, lilli, don't get worked up about this. Of course, jobs are *BAD* things. Every one of them. Doesn't matter if it is 600 or 800 or 1,000 or whatever. Every job that moves or stays in San Francisco is a *BAD* thing, especially if it pays a good salary. Any time that a growing company commits to San Francisco is a day that causes sadness for all of us, not just you.
Now go lie still for awhile and then go take your afternoon meds.
no surprise! -- and at least admit that you had been "honestly mistaken," you instead trotted-out this tired strawman of yours that progressives hate jobs.
Your opinions and your rhetoric are without merit. Anyone with the slightest sense has learned to question the job figures being claimed by these press releases.
That is completely aside from the question as to whether the technology is likely to present a long-term benefit in terms of employment or the city's economy.
At lease Square has an acutally usable product. Will they still be making it -- or shall I speculate "importing them from China?" -- in three years?
The last dot-com boom hastened the departure of some of the few remaining long-term manufacturing jobs that had traditionally made up a large part of the city's workforce. Your facile cheerleading and your pious objection to being questioned on it is quite frankly tiresome.
lilli, you're getting all worked up about nothing. Just calm down. Nobody is saying that they want any jobs created, or even retained, in the city. Nobody is saying that jobs related to mobile technology and commerce have any sort of realistic potential.
Everybody agrees with you that mid Market is a perfect place to put a factory, and that the current denizens of mid market do not put any kind of burden on our police, sanitation or health resources, nor do they diminish the effectiveness of Muni in any way.
So just calm down again.
Did somebody forget to take their meds?
However since we've been moving in a post-industrial direction for over 40 years now his comments show exactly where his mindset is stuck. Even Obama says most of those jobs are never coming back. You can look back in the past silly lilly - but try not and stare.
This is a painful process for most urban areas but sitting and demanding we invent a time machine to make the process of change easier is not the answer. Detroit has been doing that for decades - look how far that got them.
Do not be so sure. As the US descends from its temporary perch as unipolar superpower and other developing nations are not so consumed with economic sharia guiding their development, the US comparative advantage will diminish and the relative wages will descend down to a more competitive level. That will make US manufacturing exports more attractive and manufacturing capital will follow.
That decrease in wages is not optional, the decrease in wages caused by rigid adherence to libertarian capitalist economic sharia at home is purely discretionary even though neither party offers any option to act on that discretion.
What could be worse? How about the fact that Square won't be paying any business taxes for those 600 new employees, despite their use of city services, gentrifying impacts on rents in the area, added traffic congestion, and other impacts. There's a reason businesses pay taxes, because you can't get something for nothing.
You can get something for nothing if business is relieved of the burdens of paying its freight and that burden is shifted onto the backs of residents.
Such is the case with the affordable housing charter amendment where developers are relieved of 1/4 of their inclusionary burden which is to be made up from the general fund and which will probably reduce the production of affordable while preserving the jobs of the nonprofiteers.
The Guardian supports that proposition, no?
Anyway, Steven, did you ever look into the ways that progressives get plum city jobs without greasing the skids politically? Or is it misogynist to even pose that question?
Amazing that the Progressives still feel this sense of divine entitlement, that companies should locate in the city and pay much more than they could in an industrial park in San Bruno.
Here are some more examples of Progressive foolishness:
1) The city will end in 6 years, which is when the tax break ends. Long term planning? That's not our thing.
2) Lets just forget about the real estate taxes that Square will be justifying and indirectly paying. It's only money. Progressives only care about spending and taxing money, not in bringing more in.
3) Progressive logic: The employees will be driving up rents in the area AND contributing to traffic congestion. Yes, you can have it both ways.
San Francisco is a desirable place to live and to work.
For folks who want to live here, you're on your own.
For those who want to do business here, there is no length that we will go to fleece those who live here in order to make it easy for you to do business here, no strings attached!
It's just not the middle class they're aimed towards. Come here poor and homeless and you've got a plethora of agencies who will bend over backward to make your stay as pleasant as possible. And if you decide you want to leave we'll pay for your bus ticket to wherever you came from!
What percentage of the indigent actually collect services?
...to have a well-funded city that can run its buses on time, maintain its parks, and provide other basic services for its citizens—not just the indigent ones, Troll II?
want better MUNI, better parks and other basic services and apply it to services for a narrow band of "unfortunate" people who it then tends as cows to supply more milk for its needs. That's the raison d'etre of poverty pimps - keep 'em coming in and make sure there's a tax base to provide for 'em.
And this has been the death knell for "progressivism" in San Francisco--cut deals with corporate power and speculative capital to provide crumbs for a few of the poor while giving nothing to most San Franciscans except for tax bills and crappy public services.
That political calculus is as unsustainable as the time sponge web economy and is meeting a similar end as we saw with the last speculative tech bubble.
Look at you agreeing with Troll II
This is why the professional progressives hate me, I observe their conduct and see that for all of their leftist verbiage, they have made peace with corporate power and are scrambling over we useful idiots to maintain their good thing.
...are on board with "Non Profit Inc."
is destroyed all new taxes will inevitably go to increasing city employee salaries and pensions - because that's the largest share of the budget. It's absurd to think they'll go anywhere else. Unions don't exist to protect the rights of the public, they exist to protect the prerogatives of their workers. Why progressives have convinced themselves differently is beyond me.
Until the 1% mafia controlling city government is destroyed, than 99% of new taxes will invariably go out as corporate welfare to the 1% and their cohorts with 1% left over to cover for labor and the nonprofits.
The Chamber of Commerce, Golden Gate Restaurant Association and Committee on JOBS don't exist to protect the prerogatives of their workers. Why conservatives would even try to convince us differently is beyond me.
are put out there as "forlorn hopes," which in failing nonetheless diminish the ability of those expressing the interests of the 99% to make simple cogent statements of analysis.
It would be so much better to have those 600 jobs down on the peninsula, so the employees don't take Muni or use other City Services ( seriously, besides Muni and maybe the fire department for a medical call, what other City services are these people draining away?)
I hate the idea of these people, living here, paying market rate rent to support those in rent controlled apartments, buying dinners and shopping at stores so the City earns sales tax and business actually turn a profit. Yes, mid Market is much better off with the strip joints and drug dealers. Of course the SFBG used to make a fair chunk of change from the sex industry, pimps and human traffickers so I can understand the desire to keep mid-Market seedy.
It's a benefit to the city. We need more 100K pa jobs. We don't need more activists, bad artists and homeless people.
And the infrastructure to support them.
We need more ongoing sustainable jobs that are based on providing people with goods and services that they'll need on an ongoing basis.
These tech jobs remain experimental based on speculation and have yet to turn an ongoing profit.
This is the difference between building a fire by setting gasoline aflame on the sidewalk and gathering wood for a fireplace or cooking with gas.
So mobile technology, utilizing the small computers (e.g., iPhones) that people carry around in their pockets is too speculative for us? Even that is too risky and we should wait to see if it is just a passing fad?
Troll, were land-lines a passing fad? Was the telegraph? The reality behind this debate is obviously far more nuanced than you are competent to assess.
No, the time sponge economy is a fad and when this current time sponge web app bubble pops, it will probably take the other poised for high growth speculative firms with it as well as much of the existing neighborhood serving businesses in areas proximate to these tech firms, just as the Wall Street bubble took many otherwise unrelated firms and families down when it popped.
Not every company that moves to mid market will succeed. But Twitter has a world wide base and is becoming the default measurement of real time global sentiment. Square is involved in helping small businesses take advantage of mobile commerce opportunities almost anywhere in the world. Yammer helps businesses communicate internally. We're not talking chia pets here.
Do you know those struggling artists that are so critical to the San Francisco lifestyle and economic scene? Well they can use Square to collect on a sale made from a street fair or show.
It's a common business adage to say that, if you never fail, you're not taking enough risk. Most people are willing to take a ride on the mobile technology wave. I know that it may upset Progressives to do so but you can't expect everyone to be held back because 19% of the city doesn't get it.
Yeah, Square is great and it does allow individuals to engage in credit card commerce, which is convenient. I use it myself to sell my books. And I'm glad the company wants to be in San Francisco. But I also think that they should pay their taxes, just like every other company in town, rather than being subsidized by a city that has been forced to slash critical social and public health services in recent years.
Credit cards are *so* convenient. Pretty soon there'll be no need to handle filthy germ-riddded currency and all transactions will be done through encrypted networks that only you, your banker, and big brother will have access to.
Without a doubt, Troll and co. will falsely accuse me of being a paranoid/Luddite for mentioning it; at least we will not be compelled to breathe from air tanks equipped with remotely controled solenoid valves just yet.
I think it is wholly disingenuous to say that the city is subsidizing businesses like Square. Aren't we collecting RE taxes on the space they occupy? What about the RE taxes involved with any employees who want to live in SF? What about their Muni fares and parking meter stuffings? Are they never going to shop or dine near their office? Sure they'll flush their toilets, throw out garbage and have a fire now and then but I would guess that their per capita drain on city resources is MUCH lower than that of current denizens of mid-market.
Even the payroll tax break argument is specious. First off, it is for a limited time frame. I got HBO for free for 6 months and I don't hear them complain that I am being subsidized. And, AFAIK, there is no guarentee that they will get a corresponding break if we go to the gross receipts tax.
At least Tim admits to the real issue -- we're talking about rich people and, as far as the SFBG is concerned, we don't need their kind around here.
He's interested in maintaining the urban core of cities, something which he points to as coming from his childhood growing up in a poor, urban neighborhood in St. Louis subject to intense white flight. In sharp contrast to other moguls like Sean Parker he doesn't live an overly self-indulgent, piggish life. Sure he will never pass muster with progressives but where it matters he's actually interested in giving something back to San Francisco. Square is a major asset to this city as is Twitter.
And I've long held it to be true that domestic production for domestic consumption is necessary. Not only due to sovereignty issues the come from not having it so, but also due to the depleted energy resources of the modern age and the catastrophic ramifications from their continued abuse; being squandered in ferrying widgits around the planet.
That high tech jobs have a place in our economy there is no doubt -- and Square's product seems quite a bit more worthwhile than others -- but such industries have shown a capacity to rise and fall in a matter of years: they don't have the same inherent utility and permanance of more basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, energy and arts.
The economic principle that government should engage in counter cyclical economic policies holds valid.
This smooths out the lows as well as the highs, so that when the business cycle tanks, the damage is minimized at the cost of minimizing profits on the upside.
Otherwise the high cost of high private profits ends up socialized, just as libertarian capitalists like Ayn Rand would have it.
Let's be frank: Ayn Rand was an anti-social twit.
A distinction without a difference.
(Perhaps the greatest potential for spurts of growth, but also the most stark potential for collapse and the human suffering which accompanies such.)
2) Fluctuations in the economy are inherently wasteful.
These are two premises I hold to be self-evident.
Libertarian ideologues *never* consider themselves at risk of finding themselves in the cross hairs of the next capricious tectonic shift; they always cooly and cruelly imagine the hazards will be borne elsewhere.
Remember all the derisive talk about "planned economy" that used to emanate from the libertarian-right talkers such as Newt Gingrich, et. al.? That was before the dot-com boom tanked; before the housing bubble popped.
That kind of talking-point-based philosophy only survives on brazeness. An unplanned economy is one that enslaves and torments people; one in which people are a commodity to be either rewarded or discarded according to the random gusts of wind.
For the economy to serve people, there must be a plan. The facile responses here represent the thinking of those who still claim that planning is bad.
Good jobs come to a crappy neighborhood, crackheads get intimidated and move somewhere else (maybe pac heights?), less crackheads in the hood to shuttle to sf general, neighborhood saves money!
people thusly.
What about your patriotic duty to support the CIA?
Chris Daly got firsthand experience on how difficult it is to run a business in SF. He should try owning rental property to complete his education.
"For as labor cannot produce without the use of land, the denial of the equal right to the use of land is necessarily the denial of the labor to its own produce." ~Henry George
in Fairfield. One of the houses he bought was a repo.
I have to give credit to Erika McDonald for coming up with this term, but it's great because it describes something that happens all too commonly in San Francisco these days -this trend where real small business owners are being squeezed by the greed of parasites who don't create anything with their labor, but live off rents from people who actually work for a living.
I've seen this happen to two of my favorite restaurants in the Mission, Ti Couz and Ramblas. They "went out of business" like Buck, but the term is a misnomer, because they didn't really fail. Both were extremely popular restaurants, but when their leases came up, the owners of the buildings decided they were going to jack up the rent and squeeze them for more money. Neither could afford the additional rent, so they folded. The owners figured they could find someone else -as long as they get their money it doesn't matter who, the needs/desires of the community be damned.
It's sad that Buck is just the latest small business to be victimized by this kind of greed. And in the case of Buck, I wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate.
This is how a lot of our small businesses are turning into vacant storefronts, and it's a real shame that large, predatory landlords have largely succeeded in driving a wedge between small businesspeople and progressive communities with whom they have much more in common than with the likes of big realtors and megacorporations.
Mission Housing Development Corporation is raising the rent on Forest Books so that they can bring in a tenant that can pay higher rents.
The Buck didn't get a rent increase, but Daly said the rent they inherited was too high for what they were doing, and they tried unsuccessful to negotiate it down.
That nicely encapsulates his political views too - immune from reality, reason or common sense. Too bad those foreclosures he snapped up in Fairfield weren't immune from market forces. My heart just breaks for those people who lost their homes so Chris Daly could become a landlord.
at a dead end location. He probably figured progressives would cross the city to hang out at his bar, I would guess any number of progressives who think the world runs on good intentions egged him on with stories of community.
It has a number of things not going for it.
The bar itself isn't very inviting, the inside looks like any other newer bar, hardly relaxing. There's not a lot of housing around there to get a steady group of regulars, those people are already have bars anyways. Daly himself has poisoned the well, a majority of citizens see him as an asshole man child. The "community" that he was probably counting on doesn't exist.
Someone with a serious vision could have made a go of it maybe. Try and get the bike commuters on Market on their way home, make the place a bit more comfortable and tear out that generic bar funiture, have events directed at the non uptight...
Zuni Café and Martuni's - just to name two off the top of my head - don't seem to find the location particularly "dead end."

The crisp, cold weather in Levi, Finland kept the pipe in good shape with some sunny spells that kept the mood motivated and buzzing. Twenty-five girls dropped into the halfpipe and the battle for the top spot on the podium was fierce.
It was Swiss Elena Könz who came out victorious with the highest score and she rode home with part of the 10 000 Euro prize purse and 500 Swatch TTR Ranking points, moving her into the TTR World No. 24. Elena Könz's winning run included a huge lean air, backside air, fronside 360 melon, a switch nosegrab, frontside 540 and a backside 360. She was stoked after her win, and said, "I'm so happy, it was a really fun session and the pipe was good. I was surprised to see how many girls were here, and everyone was so motivated and friendly. For me, what also makes the event special, is the location in the north of Finland, where the scenery is amazing, and it was fun to ride so late into the night under the spotlights!"
Yeah Elena,

Last year I received an email so hateful that I felt sick for weeks. It was an email criticising that fact that I wrote about my son and about his illness on my blog, how I wrote about parenting instead of actually parenting and how I was doing that for money and pageviews and links and because I did that, I was a greedy, selfish, moneygrabbing bitch.
After I read it, I had a knot in my stomach all the time for weeks and weeks, even when I couldn't remember (momentarily) why I felt that way. I thought about deleting my blog. I questioned everything I had ever written about my son. I questioned everything I had ever written about motherhood.
Today Catherine at herbadmother, a blog I've been reading since it started, posted this and I urge you to go and read the rest of the post and the email she received that prompted her to post:
Our voices aren't free so long as we're subjected to hate when we raise them. But I don't know what to do, other than to keep writing, and to keep taking the blows, and to hope that I – that all of us – can outlast and outspeak the hate.
Because, it's true, our voices - the voices of mothers that write about motherhood – are not free when someone else feels it's okay to dump all over them.

Earlier in the season, the Diamondbacks suspended Daron Sutton for wearing suits. Or something. So they were already an announcer down in the booth, and news broke on Friday that Mark Grace was going to take an indefinite leave of absence to "seek personal assistance." From the Arizona Republic, the mystery has been cleared up:
According to Scottsdale Police, Grace was pulled over at about 9 p.m. for having expired registration on his license plates. Grace was also arrested for DUI in Scottsdale on May 30, 2011.
This is Grace's second DUI arrest since joining the Diamondbacks' broadcast team -- he was also arrested in May, 2011.
Grace's former Diamondbacks teammate, All-Star Luis Gonzalez, will take over commentary duties on Friday and Saturday, and 86-year-old, Ford Frick award-winning, announcer Joe Garagiola will be on the broadcast for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres.
Grace has been in the Diamondbacks' booth since 2004.

Chapter 16: Reducing Valves
When one branch of a fluid power circuit must operate at a lower pressure, use a reducing valve to provide it. Reducing valves control their outlet or downstream pressure only.
Air line regulators, Figure 16-1, reduce pressure for a pneumatic circuit. Because air in the supply line to a machine is at maximum pressure, energy can be saved by reducing pressure whenever possible. With a compressor setting between 115 and125 psi and a machine requirement of 70 psi, approximately 40% of the input energy would be lost without a properly adjusted regulator. The air-driven machine will work at the higher pressure, but it consumes more compressor horsepower than necessary.
Figure 16-1. Self-relieving type air line regulator.
Another use for air line regulators is on retraction strokes of air cylinders. Reducing pressure on a cylinder's retraction stroke saves air and thus consumes less compressor horsepower.
In multiple actuator circuits, it is often impossible to size all actuators to operate at maximum system pressure. For example: when a cylinder needs 5000 lb of force and one standard bore produces only 4712 lb at maximum pressure, the designer must go to the next larger standard bore. However, the next larger bore produces 7363 lb of force, which can cause machine or part damage. Instead, install a pressure-reducing valve in the branch circuit with the over-sized cylinder, as in Figure 16-2, to lower that branch's pressure to generate the required cylinder force.
Figure 16-2. Pressure-reducing valve with bypass check valve.
A standard reducing valve is normally open. When downstream pressure goes higher than its setting, the valve closes, blocking flow. If pressure downstream tries to increase — say due to resistance from an opposing cylinder — a reducing valve also blocks reverse flow. Escalating pressure in the downstream line continues until something bursts or gets mechanically damaged.
Figure 16-3 shows the symbol for a reducing-relieving valve. A reducing-relieving valve sets maximum outlet pressure, then relieves fluid to tank when outlet pressure tries to go higher. The overpressure could be due to outside forces or possibly high temperature in some environments. A reducing-relieving valve has an integral relief valve with a full-flow line to tank. When pressure in the downstream circuit rises 3 to 5% above reduced pressure, trapped fluid relieves to tank. Adjusting the reduced pressure automatically sets the maximum relief pressure.
Figure 16-3. Pressure-reducing-relieving valve with bypass check valve.
Hydraulic reducing valves always have a drain line open to tank for control oil flow. Drain oil flows when reducing valve outlet is lower than its inlet. This generates a small amount of heat in the system. Blocking the drain line forces the valve wide open and lets outlet pressure rise to system pressure.
Multiple pressures in one circuit
Figure 16-4 has a schematic diagram for two cylinders that need different pressures. One option a novice designer might use is to add a second relief valve. However, second relief valve B reduces pressure in the whole circuit. System pressure cannot go above 400 psi — making high-pressure relief valve A useless.
Figure 16-4. Using relief valves for two pressures.
In Figure 16-5, reducing valve C replaces relief valve B. Now each cylinder operates at a different pressure. Note that there is no bypass check valve on reducing valve C. When the system does require reverse flow through the reducing valve, the bypass check valve can be omitted. However, for a circuit with reverse flow always use a bypass check.
Figure 16-5. Using a reducing valve for two pressures.
With the reducing valve installed in the line that feeds the directional control valve, pressure at both ends of the cylinder is reduced. Also, when the pump is at pressure, reducing valve drain line flow is constant. Drain flow amounts to 20 to 70 in.3 minimum, and produces heat. With several reducing valves in a system, drain line flow might require a larger pump and a heat exchanger.
Figures 16-6 and 16-7 show the preferred location for a reducing valve. In Figure 16-6, the circuit is at rest. There is no drain flow with the reducing valve in the line between the directional valve and the actuator. This arrangement eliminates oil heating and provides extra flow to other actuators. When both ends of the cylinder need pressure reduction and/or different pressures, use the arrangement in Figure 16-7. The components cost more up front but the energy it saves often pays for the extra reducing valve.
Figure 16-6. Using a reducing valve for two pressures (circuit at rest with pump running).
Figure 16-7. Using two reducing valves for two pressures (circuit at rest with pump running).
A reducing valve is normally open from inlet to outlet, but closes when reaching the outlet pressure setting. When an actuator at reduced pressure reverses suddenly, the reducing valve does not have time to open. Oil forced out of the cylinder that tries to go back through the reducing valve keeps pressure on the outlet, holding it shut. A small pilot-drain flow in this blocked reverse flow condition allows very slow reverse cylinder movement. A reducing valve with a bypass check may try to stay closed but will not block flow, so the cylinder reverses easily.
Two-pressure circuit with a pressure-reducing valve
Always connect the drain line of a pressure-reducing valve to a free-flow tank line. Backpressure in the drain line adds to the spring setting, thus raising the set pressure. A constant backpressure can be offset by a lower spring setting, avoiding a problem. With intermittent and/or fluctuating backpressure, the reduced outlet pressure changes when the backpressure changes.
Some circuits require a reduced pressure to position a part, then full pressure to do the work. A reducing valve easily gives two pressures by opening or blocking the drain line. Figures 16-8 through 16-11 show a simple way to get two pressures using a reducing valve and a normally open 2-way directional valve.
Figure 16-8 shows a normally open 2-way directional control valve piped in the drain line. There is no leakage from the drain port in the at-rest condition.
Figure 16-8. Using a reducing valve for dual pressure (circuit at rest with pump running.). (contacting work at low pressure).
Figure 16-9 shows the directional valve on CYL2 shifted to advance the cylinder to the work at low pressure. During this part of the cycle the reducing valve stays open.
Figure 16-9. Using a reducing valve for dual pressure (cylinder 2 extending at low pressure).(pressing work at high pressure).
Figure 16-10 shows the cylinder contacting the work with pressure at the reducing valve setting. The low pressure continues as long as required. During this time the operator can check part alignment or other details. If a problem is detected, the operator simply reverses the cylinder to realign any out of place or problem components.
Figure 16-10. Using a reducing valve for dual pressure (cylinder 2 contacting work at low pressure).
After determining all is well, the operator energizes the solenoid on the 2-way directional valve as shown in Figure 16-11. This blocks drain flow from the reducing valve. Blocking drain flow at the reducing valve causes it to open fully. Backpressure in the blocked drain line, plus the internal valve spring, pushes and holds the spool open. When the reducing valve opens, full system pressure goes to the cylinder to generate high force. This action poses no problem to the reducing valve. This circuit is a reliable way to get two pressures for an actuator.
Figure 16-11. Using a reducing valve for dual pressure (cylinder 2 pressing work at high pressure).
Remotely operating a pressure-reducing valve
Pilot-operated reducing valves have a remote pressure-control port. Connecting this port to other pressure valves allows pressure to be changed from a remote location. For example, Figure 16-12 shows a reducing valve with a directional valve and two remote relief valves connected to the remote-control port. With the directional control valve in its center position, set the pressure with the knob on the reducing valve. This setting is always the highest reduced pressure for the circuit.
Figure 16-12. Using remote pilot port for three different system pressures (no solenoids energized).
Energizing solenoid A1 of the directional valve, as in Figure 16-13, connects the remote pilot port to the remote relief valve SET 350 psi. Pressure in the system now drops to and holds at 350 psi. Energizing solenoid B1 of the directional valve, as in Figure 16-14, connects the remote pilot port to the remote relief valve SET 700 psi. Pressure in the system now rises to 700 psi and holds at that level.
Figure 16-13. Using remote pilot port for three different system pressures (solenoid A1 energized).
Figure 16-14. Using remote pilot port for three different system pressures (solenoid B1energized).
Figure 16-15 shows the reducing valve's remote port connected to an infinitely variable electrically modulated relief valve. An electronically controlled relief valve changes the reduced pressure infinitely with a remote electrical controller.
| Figure 16-15. Using remote pilot port with a servo press controller for infinitely variable pressure.
Pressure-reducing-relieving valves
When it is possible for an external force to increase pressure in a reduced-pressure circuit, use a reducing-relieving valve. Most modular valves now have the reducing-relieving function. When in doubt, specify reducing-relieving valves where they are required.
Figure 16-16 shows a large-bore cylinder opposing a smaller-bore cylinder. With a standard reducing valve, oil in the cap end of the 2-in. bore cylinder (CYL1) is blocked after reaching reduced pressure. With a 6-in. bore CYL2 opposing CYL1, pressure could increase to 9000 psi in its cap end. Pressures this high could cause machine damage and be unsafe.
Figure 16-16. Using a reducing valve in circuit with unmatched opposing cylinders (both extending and locked up).
Figure 16-17 shows a reducing-relieving module installed. Now, pressure in the end of cylinder CYL1 only increases to 430 psi. At 430 psi, the relief function takes over and the cylinder retracts.
Figure 16-17. Using a reducing valve in circuit with unmatched opposing cylinders (larger cylinder driving smaller back).
A cylinder in a high-temperature location may have a similar problem. (Normally, hydraulic systems are not installed in areas with excessive heat, but it is a possibility.) With the cylinder extended at reduced pressure, as in Figure 16-18, heat could cause pressure at a conventional reducing valve outlet to increase and cause failure. Figure 16-19 shows how a reducing-relieving valve allows any heat-expanded oil to relieve to tank.
Figure 16-18. Using a reducing valve with cylinder in high-temperature area (cylinder stalled).
Figure 16-19. Using a reducing-relieving valve with cylinder in high-temperature area (cylinder stalled).
With slow heat build-up in a location with conventional ambient temperatures, oil expansion that raises pressure is slow enough to pass through the normal drain function.
All pilot-operated reducing valves have a drain line that bypasses control oil. There is always a small amount of oil passing through it. When drain flow is sufficient to handle backpressure from outside forces or heat, a reducing-relieving valve may be unnecessary. If in doubt, specify a reducing-relieving valve for safety's sake.
Modular pressure-reducing-relieving valves
When buying modular reducing valves or reducing-relieving valves, different options help reduce heat in a circuit while still maintaining good control.
Figures 16-20 and 16-21 show a reducing-relieving valve in the pump port line. The valve has an internal pilot that maintains reduced pressure at the outlet port. This means there is heat-generating flow from the drain line whenever the pump is running.
Figure 16-20. Reducing valve circuit using a reducing-relieving valve on port P — with both cylinders contacting a load.
Figure 16-21. Reducing valve circuit using a reducing-relieving valve on port P — with both cylinders retracted.
Remotely piloting the reducing-relieving valve from port A, as in Figure 16-22, reduces pressure only on the extension stroke of the cylinder. While the cylinder retracts and holds, as in Figure 16-23, the reducing valve drain is not bypassing oil. (Some manufacturers put the reducing valves directly in the A or B ports and use bypass checks for reverse free flow.)
Figure 16-22. Reducing valve circuit with reducing-relieving valve on port A — with both cylinders contacting a load.
Figure 16-23. Reducing valve circuit with reducing-relieving valve on port A — with both cylinders retracted.
In either case, drain flow only takes place during a small portion of the cycle. This may sound unnecessary, but some circuits have multiple reducing valves. Excess drain flow can cause heating and fluid waste. (Pilot flow cannot be used to operate other actuators.)
Extra time spent on circuit design pays off in energy-efficient systems that perform better in the work place.

Cold temperatures continue to take a toll.
We've had our fair share of cold snaps this winter, and students at Bismarck State College are tired of it.
They try to stay warm making there way across campus."I got this sweet hat so it keeps me warm. But it's super cold outside."
"Well its been cold for awhile, but sometimes its not that cold and there's puddles of water on the ground. And then it's suddenly cold again."
"I'm getting kind of sick of it, I guess you could say. It would be nice to not have to bundle up before going outside."
The students hope to see a break in the cold weather soon.

Pakistan, ranked 141 of 182 in the United Nation's Human Poverty Index, faces complex development challenges and is characterised by major inequalities in income and access to basic services. A high proportion of people in Pakistan live in slums and the country is facing rapid, sustained slum growth rates. Urgent action is required to slow down or reverse these trends. A significant proportion of Pakistan's population lack access to basic infrastructure (90% of the population has access to improved water, and only 45% to improved sanitation), suffer from ill health and illiteracy, with 60% living on less than two US dollars a day.
We have been working with the Orangi Pilot Project in Pakistan since 1998. Our projects include education and housing, as well as supporting emergency relief to those affected by the earthquake in 2005, and incidents of flooding in 2005 and 2010. OPP operates programmes in low cost sanitation, housing, health, education, research, training and credit for micro enterprise.

Buddy Rich was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. He is widely considered to be one of the best drummers of all time, known for his technique, speed, and power. For most of the period from 1966 until his death, he led a successful big band in an era when the popularity of big bands had waned from their 1930s and 40s peak. See also Buddy Rich Big Band. His most popular performance was a big band arrangement of the Leonard Bernstein classic West Side Story. In the early 1970s he commented upon how odious he found the emerging Mormon boy band, The Osmonds, especially Donny Osmond.
