Just say No to Measure B3

I certainly agree Pleasonton Weekly's May 4th opinion piece pointing out the dangers of Proposition B3. A permanent one cent sales tax in perpetuity?! From what planet did the drafters of this open check book Proposition come? Do they really believe that the voters of Alameda County would entrust their elected and appointed officials with billions of new tax dollars without recourse for 20 years, and then another 20 years, and another, and another? Measure B3 does not make officials accountable to the voters and therefore should be decisevly voted down.
on May 20, 2012 at 10:47 pm
As with most of these fees, taxes, measures, the supposed purpose is a covere of smokescreen that is easier to sell. They have lots of money, but often it goes to things voters would not vote for, so money is used for those, telling use money is 'needed' for what we would want. We just have to say no, work out the budget and do some shifting.
on May 21, 2012 at 12:33 pm
Still waiting for Cheryl Cook-Kallio to identify which transportation projects were completed 10 years ahead of time.
How about the north bound carpool lane on I680? That is 10 years behind schedule! The MTC and Alameda County Transportation in all their wisdom instead gave us the I680 Express Lane which is a misuse of taxpayer money as well as a failure at mitigating traffic congestion. This 200 million dollar mistake is enough proof not to approve this measure.
At least 2 out of 5 Pleasanton council members can engage in critical thinking.
on May 21, 2012 at 12:45 pm
Any plans to improve 580W to 680? That is one big mess in need of improvement that is way overdue.
on May 21, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Travis - there is a flyover planned for 580WB to 680SB as Cheryl Cook-Kallio wrote in her opinion piece. What she failed to mention was that this flyover is only for HOV vehicles.
The whole 580 680 intersection was poorly designed to begin with. It has ranked in the top tier troublespots for Bay Area freeways since it was built in the 1960s.
The new flyover just added insult to injury as all the commuters knew that a i580wb to i680 sb flyover was needed. But Alameda County transportation commission and Caltrans decided that there would be much more traffic headed northbound than southbound. Boy they really screwed that up. Another reason not to vote for this measure. People on these transportation boards and commissions have no clue as to what needs to be done to mitigate traffic congestion.
on May 21, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Why don't you call Cook-Kallio and ask her instead of cherry picking projects. That's what I do when I have a question of a council member.

The politicians just want more of our money. They are addicted to OPM (Other People's Money). They collect our taxes, some of the highest sales tax in the state with one of the highest state taxes in the country, and then tell us if we want any of our infrastructure projects completed, we need to pay more. No worthwhile projects were finished 10 years ahead of time. Just another lie from a local politician. If the projects were completed that far ahead of time, they would have saved a ton of money, enough to finish the rest of the projects on the list they want more money for.

Just say No to Measure B3
If you like higher taxes, stay here. You're in the right city, the right county and the right state for paying more, and probably forevermore.
Pleasanton City Council members Cindy McGovern and Jerry Thorne, voted against the proposed ballot measure last Tuesday. Theirs were gutsy votes that astonished Mayor Jennifer Hosterman, who helped draft the proposal, and Council members Cheryl Cook-Kallio and Matt Sullivan who endorse it.
No surprise here.
on May 21, 2012 at 10:48 pm
A parcel tax would be a better choice for a new tax. I already voluntarily pay far more than required. But that isn't enough. You need to pay more too.

I forgot the quotation marks.

Apparently none of you actually drive on any of the roads in this state or use any transit. . .
BTW 1/2 % tax is a continuation of a tax you already pay. 1/2% is a new tax to fix existing road and to replace infrastructure. Maintenance is cheaper than letting it all fail and then having to replace it.
on May 22, 2012 at 9:01 am
I will not support this measure until Pleasanton passes a substantial parcel tax. First things first.
on May 22, 2012 at 9:24 am
Two different pots of money. . .one city and one county. . .
on May 22, 2012 at 11:31 am
Travis, it is truly amazing that the 580 - 680 interchange is allowed to exist as it is.
W580 to 680 has accidents every SUNday 3p - 7p. True, they are unfamiliar SUNday drivers, the very worst period (clueless everywhere + unfamiliar with 580-680). Mix BOATS, bigrigs, talking kids, and cheaters who think they'll speed on freeway to last inch and just cut-in when there is no merge left...no matter how congested.
If you listen, you'll here it live almost every Sun 3-7...often deadly.
on May 22, 2012 at 12:42 pm
hmmm- why would I want to talk to a person who advocates a perpetual tax? Hopefully Cheryl isn't feeding this hogwash to her Civics students. It would be nice if she supported her statements with facts. Without facts her opinion is her opinion and is not worth a hill of beans.
As far as cherry picking projects - I do not care much about footpaths under freeways or bicycle trails along former railroads, and whether these projects are finished on time or not. What I do care about is not having to worry about my car being damaged driving on an interstate freeway. CalTrans has identified 56 slabs (not little potholes but entire freeway sections) that are in dire need of replacement between Bernal and Sunol exits on SB i680. Large trucks drive on the shoulder rather than risk damage to their undercarriage on lane 3.
How come the politicians can find 200 million dollars to install a worthless Express Toll Lane that is absolutely not needed but cannot find the money for upkeep on a freeway that is essential for commerce? Where is the accountability?
on May 22, 2012 at 3:16 pm
It may go to different pots of money, but it all comes from my one pot of money -- my tax dollars. Not one penny from me to this measure or any other until we adequately fund Pleasanton schools.
on May 22, 2012 at 7:46 pm
@ Bill. . .much more important to spout your opinion and accusations here rather than engage in a dialogue. . .must NOT want the answer to your questions!
I am worried about the perpetual pot holes in Alameda County!

One liberal arts university bans cell phones and other electronic devices like TVs. Wyoming Catholic College makes all its students relinquish their devices when they start school. Their devices are locked a box in each dorm room, and students may only check them out in emergencies.
According to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average 8-18 year old spends about seven hours and 38 minutes using entertainment media per day. How do the 112 students at this university cope?
According to Erin Mulligan, a junior from New Hampshire, it is quite a release.
Mulligan tells Yahoo News that "when you are no longer captivated by technology, you find your true and real self."
The only use of Internet and computers use allowed is to do research online, call home via Skype and access the college email service. The college has only had two infractions
"We don't see this as thumbing our nose at tech and modern culture," Jonathan Tonkowich, Dean of Students, told Yahoo News. "We're allowing a freedom and a vacation from all that so that students can work on something different: true friendship, true virtue, true study."
In fact, WCC is not the only school to ban electronics, Deep Springs College, in Nevada also has decided to ban electronics.
"We are so tech savvy these days," Milligan tells Yahoo News. "But something that is really prevalent is our inability to genuinely communicate at a human-to-human, face-to-face level."

How the Twitter tax break grew into an expensive giveaway that involves police patrols, a new Muni line — and a lot of real estate
But it wasn't until October 2010 that records show the deal really taking shape. According to memos from Matz, Twitter CFO Ali Rowghani met with Newsom and told him that the company's top choice for a new headquarters location was SF Mart (which also happened to be where Newsom's campaign for lieutenant governor was headquartered at a discounted rent) but Twitter's concerns were "public safety, transportation, neighborhood conditions, [and] cost."
The memos show Newsom returned to Twitter on Oct. 29 with his chief of staff, Steve Kawa, Police Chief Jeff Godown (then assistant chief), and Matz — promising not just the payroll tax break and enterprise zone tax credits but 18 hours a day of police foot patrols in the area and the creation of a new Muni express line, 47A, between the Caltrain Station and the Twitter headquarters.
None of those costs are being figured into the deal. Matz said the new Muni line was a service restoration that has already been approved but not yet funded, and that the foot patrols would simply be absorbed into the police budget. These are just a few of the many guesstimates and unaccounted for costs in this highly complex deal.
Throughout the month of January, new properties kept getting added to the district by various people, from OEWD staffers to Sup. Jane Kim — who greatly expanded the district and refuses to answer Guardian questions about why — and Randy Shaw, who runs the Tenderloin Housing Clinic and the Beyond Chron blog and has been a vocal tax-break supporter.
"Payroll tax thing is going to happen and Randy Shaw wants us to add the Uptown Tenderloin Historic District!" OEWD's Amy Cohen wrote on Feb. 2 to a real estate consultant with the Northern California Community Loan Fund.
None of the requests for expanding the tax exclusion zone included an explanation of why that property should be in — and in each case they were added to the area without question. The only possible exception was when the Warfield Building was added Jan. 7 after OEWD learned Burning Man was seeking to rent headquarters space there. Yet Burning Man founder Larry Harvey told us it planned to move to mid-Market with or without the tax break, and that it is now negotiating for a different building, although the Warfield remains in the tax exclusion district.
"Can you add 875 Stevenson to the boundaries and send the revised map? Thx," one OEWD staffer wrote to another on Jan. 13.
"I want to add one more area: I want to go halfway down the block between Fifth and Sixth grabbing everything heading east up to the Cityplace properties," Matz wrote to another OEWD staffer on Jan. 14.
New properties were being added right up to the point that the legislation was introduced on Feb. 9. The day before, Shaw wrote to Matz and OEWD's Amy Cohen telling them that the owner of the Hastings Law School garage "should get the exemption if he thinks it might help," and that property was added. Cohen then gave Shaw credit in an e-mail to UC Hastings CFO David Seward: "We're going to put your properties in. Randy is good with it!"
Even some OEWD staffers seemed surprised that the tax exemption area had grown so far beyond its original borders. "Wow, when did the entire TL get thrown in?" OEWD Project Manager Lisa Pagan wrote to Cohen in a Feb. 8 e-mail.
But Matz defended the expansion and said it wasn't as willy-nilly as it appears. "There was a lot more conversation than was reflected in those e-mails," she told us. "The boundaries evolved due to more thorough thinking."
Yet she acknowledged it's tough for skeptics of the deal to determine why properties were included, whether political favoritism played a role, or who stands to benefit from the decisions.
Motherfucker can't even choose the correct spelling of bear. Fruit is borne, douche, not... ursine. Prometheus in the dark he ain't.
Of course, if one still gives a shit, there are more substansive problems: The article neatly sidesteps issues of business retention and the mess of Market. Or where they are addressed, it is only addressed in hostile fashion. We can't unionize the homeless, and if we did, against whom would they strike?
SF needs more than nonprofit drains upon city coffers; some one must actually make, buy or sell things. I know, I know, highly distasteful. But the "progressive" alternative to a mid-Market tax break answer is currently Buck's Tavern. Boo. Alt.newsweeklies are supposed to be the bastions of hard-hitting, thoughtful journalism, not reflexive and frankly plain old lame-assed laziness. Boo! I submit a FOIA request on this asshole's ability to comb through thousands of pages of Harry Potter, much less actual civic documents.
In sum: Lazy! Poorly Written! Counterproductive!
Wow, the supporters of this legislation seem to have one thing in common: they use personal attacks as a mechanism of distraction.
The problem they have is that the policy arguments are not on their side. Their Over and over again today, I have seen a variety of personal attacks all day long against any one who opposes the legislation in multiple forums. It shows weakness on many levels, and desperation that I am surprised to see.
Your policy argument "I'm entitled."
You work for SEIU right? And your complaining about ad homonyms?
Put the bong down.
Judging from how they acted so far I'd say Twitter will be a bad corporate citizen and San Francisco should cut it lose before it causes more trouble.
If I were a supervisor I'd ask Twitter/JP Morgan how they could help during a time of desperate need, not talking dirty to them over the phone like one of Willie Brown's street walker mistresses.
A 'bad' corporation can cause a lot of damage that far outweighs any benefits. They have gone to the dark side.
Gosh I'm really beginning to understand why Randy Shaw was so into Jane Kim.
I bet Debora Walker didn't put up with his crap for one second, did she Randy?
"It's giving taxes away to properties that are going to fill up anyway,"
I went into that building once a month at least all through the 90's, it was always 2/3rds full at best.
Now after a recession its going to fill right up?
As the establishment progressives make up things endlessly, there is even less reasons to care about their class ravings.
If you don't like what moves in, don't go there. I avoid 24th street and some of the TL. If mid Market isn't bum filled enough for you, go to the 200 block of Turk St.
Trolls apparently aren't diligent readers: that quote is from the city's economist, who is no progressive, and it doesn't refer to SF Mart as you seem to think. As for the first commenter: One "bare" typo in a 2500-word article based on reviewing thousands of documents, including hundreds withheld until a few hours before my deadline -- is that really the best ammo you've got? Apparently my article is even more solid than I thought.
plural means more than one, the article is about Twitter.
You're quoting him to further your position.
Beautifully written,
What an edition y'all have today. Have to admit that I'm amused by 'Gabriel' (I'm assuming that's Haaland) waxing poetic against, "personal attacks". He's the biggest back stabber in SF and that ain't easy. Or, weren't your attacks on Adachi personal, Gabe? Pot ... kettle. Pot ... kettle.
Bulldog sees the big picture.
Our economy is anchored on two fragile legs sunk in quicksand. Tourism (one car bomb will destroy that) and, office rentals (they're always looking for a better deal and not reliable).
We should encourage growth of our schools and add more. Students don't run away because they have finals next week and mom and dad have paid their tuition and rent for the entire year. I managed property all over the East of Van Ness area covered in this deal and always had at least 10-15% students.
So, how's the City and the Bay Guardian react to a San Francisco institution like the Academy of Art University growing by leaps and bounds?
The City and Brad Paul and the Guardian and Calvin Welch try to extort 30 million out of AAu. While it offers to add an entire bus line (at our expense) for Twitter, the Guardian and Brad Paul complain about the free buses that AAU provides for their students.
We have over 100,000 students in SF (bet you didn't know that).
We should have 200,000 and more.
"How does a duck know which direction South is?"
"And, how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?"
Good questions, all.
Go Giants!
"and now the next leg of our tour we go into an abandoned building, instead of productive employment this building is kept vacant so that ideological purity can be upheld.
Here are some hobo likenesses scrawled on pizza boxes of our cities secular welfare state saints;
Gabriel Haaland, this saint complains when SEIU doesn't get tax money to hire more SEIU employees
Chris Daly, this saint complains about Nimby's while beimng one
TIm Redmond, this saint supports classism while complaining about it
...now onto our next tour spot, a shooting gallery in the garage"
If you read this right any employees will be taxed in SF on their stock options but not in many other bay area cities like Brisbaine.
So to encourage start ups to stay in SF there is now an area (which were previously undisirable), where Start Ups can locate without this tax.
Surely it is a progressive policy to use the tax code to encourage behaviour, like locating to Mid Market?
Ofcourse if you don't like the idea of successful and not so successful start ups even existing in SF then you would oppose this tax break.
This has highlighted that the pay roll tax should be re-examined in SF, and how it does discourage employers loacating here.
And look I am in support this tax break, but have made no personal attacks.
Stated like a true Koch Brother, a "founders circle" member of the Club for Growth, mixed in with millennial Christians who "believe" in the second coming of greater tax revenues when you cut taxes.
Jane Kim ha ha ha!!
I like the lipstick on that slut's teeth.
This tax break and other favors shifts the tax burden to the rest of the tax base.
This socializes the business risk while privatizing the profits.
Subsidizing Twitter comes out of your wallet.
The payroll tax applying to stock options is new info to me but can we get further explanation how that would work? When does the tax on stock options apply? When granted/given? Or when they're actually exercised? And not clear if this exemption applies to everyone or only new hires? So if only new hires doesn't that mean most of the stock options will go to existing employees and therefore be taxed?
Thanks for the coverage of this issue.
Egan told me that the stock options get taxed as part of the payroll when the company goes public because that's when they get their value. Twitter hasn't shared any financial data with the city, so Egan's estimates are based simply on news reports, but his estimate is that the IPO will be for about $12 billion, about half of which goes to the venture capitalists who now bankroll the company and a quarter each goes to employees and those who buy stock after the IPO. Subtracting out an estimated 10 percent of their value that Twitter employees paid for those options, that leaves $2.7 billion in compensation that is subject to the 1.5 percent payroll tax, leading to a one-time payroll tax obligation of about $40 million.
Now, the deal as it's now structured would exempt Twitter stock options from the payroll tax for eight years, for both new and existing employees. He also said it would be possible to just exempt Twitter stock options, which he said it preferable to the larger giveaway that has been crafted, but he couldn't say whether that would be enough to keep Twitter in town. In the letter Twitter wrote, the CFO claims it would cost the company $30 million over five years in "incremental rent, taxes, and other expenses compared to moving the company out to the peninsula," but he didn't provide any support for that figure.
I hope that helps clarify things.
ISOs are liable for capital gains tax once exercised no matter if the company is public or not providing the employee's total liability is in AMT territory - the IRS calls it "phantom gain" i.e. capital gain on something that can't be sold on an open market but has a gain between the grant price and the FMV as judged by an accredited accountancy firm. That's why employees receiving ISOs would be well advised to exercise iteratively to avoid a large tax liability.
e.g. 10,000 ISOs puchased at $0.10 cost the employee $1000 dollars. If the current FMV is $5.00 then the employee is liable for capital gains tax on the difference i.e. $4.90x10,000 = $49,000. Of course this just an example.
Twitter employees may be able to sell their exercised options today on a private market as many Facebook employees are doing, providing their grants don't specifically forbid it, though I'm not certain an option grant can legally prevent that.
The reason people don't provide data is they have something to hide?
Below is an similar explanation, apparently from a corporate attorney at Google.
Apparently the IPO can be expected to raise an estimated $100 million in cash, so $40 million is a lot to pay for a city payroll tax.
Serious flaw in the business model?
"...Say a company like Twitter, valued at $3.4 billion in its last funding round, goes public at a $10 billion valuation and raises $100 million. There's a good chance that most founder and employee equity would be tied up in ISOs, meaning as much as $3 billion – $6 billion of the $10 billion valuation could be tied up in stock that was originally an ISO. If it were half – $5 billion – then Twitter would get a tax bill from San Francisco for $75 million. 75% of the $100 million they just raised would be paid to San Francisco."
Something else kind of interesting -- apparently if Titter moved to avoid the payroll tax then San Francisco could sue and argue the value was created while Twitter was located in SF and charge the tax anyway.
To me this seems like a bargaining chip.
"...Is it possible that a company could move to San Mateo the year before an IPO? Yes. But could the city sue and allege that the value of those options was created in San Francisco? Yes, again. Because few other cities have local payroll taxes to begin with and the Federal government doesn't subject these options to payroll taxes, there are almost no precedents here."

Huskers set for exhibition match
Lincoln - The Nebraska soccer team will begin its 2013 season when it hosts an exhibition match against Colorado College at the Nebraska Soccer Field this Friday, Aug. 16, at 4 p.m. Admission is free for the exhibition contest.
The Huskers and Tigers last met for a preseason tilt in 2009 where NU took a 2-0 decision. NU holds a 2-1 advantage all-time during the regular season against Colorado College, with the last contest occurring in 2005.
Head Coach John Walker returns an experienced squad in 2013 with six seniors, including second-team All-Big Ten selection Ari Romero and fellow defender Maritza Hayes who has started every game of the past three seasons, while starting goalkeeper Emma Stevens has started all but one match in net for NU over the past two seasons.
The Huskers also welcome back 2011 all-conference second-teamer Jordan Jackson, who was set to play her senior season in 2012, but an injury resulted in her receiving an extra year of eligibility.
Junior Mayme Conroy had a breakout season for the Huskers in 2012 on her way to earning second-team All-Big Ten honors. Conroy led the Huskers with 14 goals, which ranked sixth in the Big Ten and tied for 23rd in the country.
Nebraska welcomes eight new players to their squad in 2013, including one in-state product, along with three players from Missouri, as well as one each from Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas and an international newcomer from Brazil. The incoming class will join a Nebraska program that made its first appearance at the Big Ten Tournament in 2012 during the team's second season in the conference.
The Huskers are set to play 19 games in their third season as members of the Big Ten Conference in 2013. NU faces eight NCAA Tournament qualifiers from last year, including two Sweet 16 teams in Denver and Michigan, an Elite Eight finisher in BYU, and Penn State, who fell in the national title game.
NU will open the regular season next weekend as it hosts the Husker Classic beginning on Friday, Aug. 23, when it faces Southeast Missouri State at 6 p.m. The weekend will commence on Sunday, Aug. 25, with a match against the Cincinnati Bearcats at Noon. The two contests are the first of nine regular-season home games.

Politicians are asking the question: Is it time to pull the plug on California's high-speed rail?
The fallout from Thursday's House Transportation Committee hearing may have the rail program against the ropes. A desperate Transportation Secretary Ray La Hood tried to convince panelists to drop a ban barring federal dollars going to California's bullet train.
But as he pleas for more money, California Congressman Kevin McCarthy says it may be time to cut our losses.
Investigative producer Heidi Cuda looked into the story.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones left Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints after once again straining his balky hamstring. Jones had two receptions for nine yards in the first half before having the injury flair up. Jones had missed several games with the injury before returning last week against the Indianapolis Colts with a monster performance. Jones tried to get back in the second half, but the team sat him down the rest of the game.
Head coach Mike Smith will chat with the media on Monday and I would imagine he'll get some questions about Jones' injury. The Falcons return to practice on Wednesday, so we may not get any sort of update on Jones' status until that first practice participation report. Hopefully though, we'll get some more information on Monday.
Once again, Harry Douglas emerged in the absence of Julio Jones. Douglas finished the game as the Falcons leader with eight receptions and 133 yards. Roddy White is the big threat on the Falcons, but when Jones is down, defenders lock in on him a bit more, to the benefit of receivers like Harry Douglas.

What Are Save the Date Magnets?
Wedding planning takes months of work, from choosing dates to the last minute details that are completed moments before walking down the aisle. Inviting the guests is one of the last things generally on the list, with invitations not hitting the mail until six weeks before the big day. In recent years, sending out Save the Date magnets as a part of the early wedding prep list has become something of a staple, giving guests advance notice that a wedding invitation will be on the way.
Save the date magnets are simply a way of announcing to your potential wedding guests what day you have chosen for your upcoming nuptials. They generally contain information such as the couple's names and the selected wedding date. Many choose to personalize their magnets by using their wedding colors, a specific logo or their engagement pictures.
Some couples choose to use their save the date magnets as an engagement announcement, foregoing the more traditional route of publishing in the paper. Because magnets are so lightweight and easy to mail, sending them out to friends and family far and wide is a cost-effective way of spreading the word. One great bonus to using magnets is that those receiving them are less likely to misplace them, as often happens with a paper save the date card.
Save the date magnets are a fabulous way for newly engaged couples to share their plans with their loved ones. Not only is it a fun way to drop the hint to friends and relatives that their presence will be requested on that special day, but it gives them a chance to let everyone share in the excitement of their wedding day, even from early in the planning stages. Every engaged couple wants all those they care about to be present at their wedding and a save the date magnet can help to make that happen.

It may be more difficult for an adult to get into a school this year. Several schools in Hillsborough County have beefed up security with extra fencing, new security cameras, and door buzzers.
After the Sandy Hook tragedy, elementary schools in Hillsborough County got armed officers. In January the school board voted not to continue paying to keep the guards for the 2013-2014 school year. Instead, board members decided to spend just over $1 million on other permanent precautions.
At Orange Grove Middle Magnet School in Tampa, visitors have to be buzzed in through the office, and that's after you get through all the fencing.There's also a security officer waiting in the courtyard.
"We know from talking to principals and talking to parents nobody wants schools to look like a fortress," Steve Hegarty, spokesperson for Hillsborough County Schools, said. "We try to make them welcoming warm places, but parents understand the world we live in, and having to be buzzed in in the middle of the day isn't that much of a hardship."
Hillsborough High School has a similar system to Orange Grove. Andrea Fernandez has two kids. She appreciates extra security.
"I think that's great because there are so many people," Fernandez said. "You don't know who's coming in who's going out and it's needed."
Grandfather of a Hillsborough High student, Ted Pamplona, doesn't think it's necessary.
"I think it's alright it's not going to stop somebody that's hiding something to come in."
Whether you like it or not, it looks like it's here to stay.
"There's no one size fits all," Hegarty said. "We have experts go out to school and see lay of the land and what works."
School Resource Officers remain at all middle and high schools in Hillsborough County.

Federal and state authorities raided several pain clinics in the metro Atlanta area on Wednesday.One raid took place at the Amarc Clinic on Lakewood Avenue behind the Lakewood Amphitheatre. "We were just sitting there in the waiting room, waiting on her to see a doctor and three or four of them come in there, guns drawn talking about, 'Freeze. Do not move,'" said Charles Langston.Down the street on Jonesboro Road, agents raided another pharmacy. The scene was repeated at several other clinics across the area owned by the same person, including one in Tyrone. DEA agents carried out several boxes of patients' records and interviewed patients and staff.Even some patients said they believe the pain clinic was much more."They're getting like 240 pills or whatever, which is an ungodly amount," said Connie Langston. "This parking lot to the right of me would have from 80 to 90 cars. I knew something was wrong," said Veronica Nunley. Dr. William Richardson denied being a part of a "pill mill." "They evidently thought some things were going on. Some people maybe were coming who weren't legitimate pain patients, but that's something that we try to screen," Richardson said.But neighbors said they see a steady stream of cars from out of the area and even out of state here."Oh absolutely, no one was from around here. I've never seen so many white people in a black neighborhood in southeast Atlanta," said one man.No arrests have been made yet.Officials said that it will take a long time to pour through all the patient records they seized to figure out what crimes may have been committed.

I think he's already crossed off, but he shouldn't be.Despite his age, the guy is a very good player and an improvement over Bowers currently. I know people say it's for a one year lease, but he could last a couple more, and the benifits of allowing Bowers or him being moved along the line would pay off greatly. Not only that, but you have yet another name to fill the stands, and another vet to fill the void in a position on the team DL/DE group that has little leadership (besides McCoy).I like Bowers and wanted him in Tampa. Heck, I was happy as a clam that they we're able to draft him. However, he's shown inconsitancy in staying healthy and has a looming punishment because of the stupid gun at airport issue. I would MUcH rather have Abraham showing bowers the ropes for this season, allow Bowers those resting downs for now, and maybe even allow him to play in place of Clayborn in the same situation.It would create more depth, and bring in a good vet player. I think it's a good deal (depending on cost).

Golf Monthly's test team reviews the Odyssey Tank Cruiser #7 Putter.
Product Overview
- The Odyssey #7 head has always offered great stability, and is fantastic for alignment. The counterbalanced weighting, and the ability to tweak to your personal needs, makes this a brilliant option if you don't hole as many putts as you feel you should. There are a number of superb counterbalanced designs on the market at the moment, and this is up there with them.
- Don't expect counterbalancing to change your putting overnight. It will offer instant improvements if you're twitchy from short range, but the change will take a little bit of adjusting to, particularly on long-range distance control. The long-term improvement can be huge, though.
Product:Odyssey Tank Cruiser #7 Putter
Price as reviewed:£199
Key Technology
Not only does the Cruiser #7 incorporate counterbalancing, it's also adjustable. Changeable weights in the head and the grip allow you to find the perfect balance. A new longer version of the SuperStroke thick grip is designed to eliminate wrist break during the stroke, and can be gripped down to aid stability. A White Hot face insert offers a consistent sound and feel.
The Tank Cruiser #7 rolled the ball beautifully, and the feeling of balance through the stroke was fantastic. Having the ability to adjust the putter's balance by changing the head and grip weights is ideal for finding that special feel. Another great feature is the extended SuperStroke grip. This enabled me to use the putter at many different lengths to find the perfect set-up.

With the amount of Ravens on defense getting injured lately, the pressure has shifted even further on the offense to lead 5-1 Baltimore to a top seed in the AFC. If Joe Flacco continues to play like he has in the first half against the Houston Texans, they might start needing to worry about making the playoffs at all.
Flacco is 7-of-20 for 50 yards, 0 TD and 2 INT. As Baltimore was driving late in the first half, trying to at least get a field goal to close a 26-3 gap just a little bit, Flacco's pass was batted by Whitney Mercilus and Glover Quin kept the ball alive long enough to come down with the interception.
Over his last three-and-a-half games, Flacco now has 2 TD and 4 INT, dropping his fantasy status to IR. (Ineffective Reserve.) Meanwhile, the Houston Texans seem to be taking a large lead in the AFC as the most dominant team.

President Barack Obama is starting to crumble away. He seems to enjoy multiple layers of protection and insulation when it comes to bearing any blame or responsibility for the many scandals which are currently engulfing his administration.
His methodology is very simple — deny, deflect, dodge, distract, demonize, destroy. And he does it so well. Practice does make perfect. To hear his constant denials on anything potentially damaging to his presidency, I seriously wonder how this detached president can possibly lead and govern this country?
It certainly doesn't hurt him that the bedazzled mainstream media bolster him unconditionally by fawning and refusing to hold him accountable.
But the fortunes may be slowly turning. The shields and barriers Obama has enjoyed may be weakening.
Democrats, especially ones running in 2014, will be facing enormous fallout when the truth and reality of Obamacare set in. Loyalty to Obama will certainly be trumped by political self-survival.
Thanks to the dogged resolve of Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Trey Gowdy and others, the details of Benghazi (which the Obama administration has so desperately tried to hide) may finally be brought to light. That could be damaging. And, finally, as the IRS scandal deepens and the reality of criminal prosecution begins to stare the minions and underlings in the face, the administration's house of cards may tumble.
Shoes will drop, canaries will sing and rats will flee the ship in droves.

The assisted living facility profile includes compliance history for the four (4)
assisted living provider types regulated by the Division of Quality
Assurance (DQA). The provider types are:
Community Based Residential Facilities
3-4 Bed Adult Family Homes
Residential Care Apartment Complexes
Certified Adult Day
Care Providers
DQA conducts surveys of assisted living facilities every two years to review compliance with applicable administrative codes,
standards and state statutes. In addition, the Division responds to complaints received against providers.
The facility profile is divided into four categories:
Facility Name and Status
Survey History
Enforcement History
Complaint History
Detailed information regarding facility size, client group(s) served,
owner/ licensee information, etc., can be found on the facility directories.
Dates at the top of each profile indicate the time period for which survey
activities are identified. Survey information related to dates outside this time period may be obtained by
contacting the appropriate DQA regional office for the county in which the
facility is located.
Profile information is available only for facilities that are currently licensed
(open facility). Licenses for assisted living facilities are not transferable. Therefore, records for facilities that experience a change of
ownership are closed and then opened under the new owner/licensee.
The assisted living facility profile is designed to provide an overview of the
results of DQA inspections.
When comparing facilities in terms of quality of care and safety, consumers
should keep in mind that the profile does not reflect such factors as
facility size or the complexity of healthcare needs of its
In light of this, the profile is a "snapshot" of the facility – not the complete
picture. Inspection information measures whether the facility meets the minimum standard for a particular set of

Looking for a job in today's economy is enough to stress anyone! If you've been laid off, and the bills keep coming, you are feeling like you want to pull your hair and disappear there are some things that you can do to stay mentally and physically healthy while you are looking.
Keep Breathing-
Looking for a job is stressful! When we are feeling stressed we tend to hold our breath subconsciously. A good first step to relieving stress is to take a deep breath and hold it for 3 seconds, and then release it slowly for 3 seconds. Do this three times. Soon you'll feel more calm and ready for a productive job search.
Get Up-
It's very easy to fall into the habit of sleeping in, staying home watching TV or playing games. Instead, get up at the same time you did when you were working. Shower, get ready, get a healthy breakfast and GO!!!. Do this every day because finding work is an every day job.
Something as simple as walking around the block can "clear your head," and give you fresh start every day. It will also make you feel physically better, and it's important that you keep your health up when you are searching for employment.
Set daily achievable goals-
Your ultimate goal is to get a job. But if you set small goals for yourself each day, you'll have a better chance of reaching that final goal. For example, try sending at least 3 applications per day or sending out 5 resumes each day.
Stay involved-
Look for volunteer opportunities that are related to the jobs you are interested in. This helps in three ways. First, it gets you out of the house and interacting with other people. If you are used to working in an office atmosphere, being home alone all day can be incredibly stressful. Second, it is a great way to network and make contacts with people in the industry. And third, it gives you more experience — further strengthening your resume. This is important in today's competitive economy.
Remember DO NOT STAY HOME, looking for work is can be a very difficult job so you need to keep yourself motivated. The unemployment benefits help alleviate the financial stress but do not last forever. The more applications you put out there, the better chance you have to find a job…and remember to visit our Career Centers we will help to make your life less stressful.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - About 20 workers have Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon all to themselves due to the partial government shutdown.
The National Park Service and concession employees would normally be busy with work related to hikers and mule-riding tourists visiting the bottom of the canyon.
Worker Michael McNulty told the Arizona Daily Sun by phone that it feels like being on a relaxing vacation.
McNulty say the solitude is nice but that things likely will get boring without tourists around.
He says the concessionaire, Xanterra, has kept the workers well-supplied.
McNulty he says it's been a challenge to try to eat all the soon-to-expire food left in the refrigerators because of the absence of guests.

Youthful Expression Ch.1Youthful ExpressionWritten by Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 1: Morning BellCelestia's sun had risen over Equestria and shined bright rays of light down onto Ponyville. Inside the town's library, a purple unicorn was preparing herself for the day she had planned ahead. Placing a few books, parchment, quills, and snacks into her saddleback, she used her magic to place it upon her back. She gave a small smile to her finished work until she turned to noticed that her assistant dragon, Spike, had yet to get up. Trotting to his bed, she used her magic to remove his blanket."Time to get up, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said with a motherly tone."Huh?" Spike was beginning to wake up, "Why do I have to get up? You said you don't need me to help you out today with your studying."The unicorn used her magic to levitate Spike out of his bed, "That's right, I don't need your help, but today you are going to be doing something else."Twilight tried to place Spike on the floor, standing o
Youthful Expression Ch.4Youthful ExpressionWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 4: Hey JealousyThe next morning, Spike woke up earlier than he normally would. He crawled out of his bed and walked down the stairs of the library and saw Twilight Sparkle packing her bag again. The purple unicorn looked up and saw that her assistant was awake."Oh, good morning Spike. I wasn't going to wake you up for quite some time," she greeted her dragon.With a yawn, Spike replied, "Yeah, well, I thought I might as well get ready for the day as soon as I woke up, ya know?" He walked over to his bag and began to load it up with items for school such as parchment and quills."Boy, you seem so grown up about going to school today," Twilight gave an impressed look to the baby dragon."What can I say, I gave it a shot like I promised, and it wasn't that bad in the least," Spike loaded the textbook into his bag, careful not to crush the parchment and render it useless.Twilight gave a sly smile, "Is it because yo
Youthful Expression Ch.3Youthful ExpressionWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 3: LingerSpike and Applebloom stared at each other as their lips were connected. When the two realized what exactly was happening, both of them broke the kiss quickly and moved away from each other. Both the pony and dragon were spitting and trying to rid the evidence of the kiss from them."Eww! Dragon germs!" Applebloom was the first to speak."Dragon germs?" Spike spat to the side the taste of apple, which he hoped was from his lunch, "How do you know you're not the one with germs?" he retorted back to the pony."Because, ladies don't have germs," she said with her nose turned up to move to the other side of the tree to sit down, "only colts an' other boys have germs!"Spike moved to the opposite side of the tree and leaned his back against the tree, "Well, you're starting to sound like those prissy ponies from earlier.""Ya mean, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon?""Yeah, them.""Well, ah don't really want to be

.' he thought to himself while the girls were still processing his statement."Sp-Spike
.?" Applebloom's voice was slightly distorted as she was having trouble speaking. Tears gathered into her eyes and slowly rolled down her eyes. She tried to speak something else, but she was unable to. At that, she turned and ran off from the group. She couldn't bear to be around them right then.As she watched the yellow filly run off, Sweetie Belle kept her calm. "Well, I see how it really is now, Spike
." her voice sounded the same save a small hint of distress, "I'll see myself away now." Standing up off the ground, Sweetie Belle walked off in the same direction as Applebloom before pausing and trotting back the opposite direction
Youthful Expression Ch.5Youthful ExpressionWritten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 5: Ain't Talkin' 'Bout LoveThe Saturday sun rose into the sky to wake Ponyville and its inhabitants for a brand new day. In the library, Spike was helping Twilight organize the library as they did every weekend. While his hands were busy putting books back up on shelves, Spike's mind was elsewhere. He was thinking of a certain yellow filly that had fully fallen head over hooves for. Lost in his daydreaming, he didn't hear the knock at the door.Annoyed, Twilight walked to the door to answer it, "Oh, it's okay Spike, I'll get the door. It wasn't like I wasn't busy moving tables and desks with my magic. Nope, not at all," the purple mare said with an extreme sarcastic tone. She opened the door to a white unicorn with a deep purple mane, styled into perfect curls. "Oh, hello Rarity. What brings you here today?"Rarity smiled to her fellow unicorn, "Oh Twilight, I was wondering if I could possibly borrow Spike from y
Youthful Expression Ch.9Youthful ExpressionWritten by Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)Chapter 9: I've Been TryingCelestia's sun was getting closer to indicating high noon in Ponyville. The purple dragon was about to leave the library for the schoolyard. He was worried of what might happen with Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, due to the incident just the day before. He decided that he should bake cookies for them for at least listening to his plead, and with his small box of cookies ready, he headed out the door to meet with the Cutie Mark Crusaders.Spike was nervous with every step he took. The fight played repeatedly in his mind. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom shouting at each other, Applebloom's tears, and Sweetie Belle's tone. All of the details plagued him as he started to walk faster to the school.At the school, the crusaders were there, but anypony could tell they were not as unified as they normally were. On opposite ends of the yard, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were turned away from each other with

Spike nervously shook as he heard Sweetie Belle ask him."Well, do you love her?"Spike was quick to rebuttal, "She's my friend, of course I love her!" He felt safe by saving that.Sweetie Belle shook her head, inching closer to Spike, which caused the purple dragon to back up slowly, "Not like that, Spike. I mean do you love Applebloom like a mare and a colt do?"Spike had noticed that there was a bit loathing in her eyes, "Well
." Words failed the dragon."'Cause I saw you and Applebloom yesterday on the farm," Sweetie Belle jolted her head forward at Spike, whose back was now against the wall."You what?""I said that I saw you two on the farm! I saw you k-, k-, kiss her!" the unicorn filly really struggled to just say the verb. A her eyes became a little moist as she looked to the speechless Spike, "I saw the two of you kiss!""I

Twilight Sparkle's motherly tone echoed throughout the library, "You're date will be here any minute!""I'm hurrin'!" the purple dragon shouted back with a hint of anxiety in his voice, "You try putting clothing on with small wings, then we'll talk!" Spike was trying to put a black jacket on, but his newly grown wings made Spike look like he had a hunchback with the coat on."Never mind about the coat, Spike, it won't get cold tonight," the purple mare informed him as she walked up the stairs to see her assistant struggle with the article of clothing. She used her magic to pull the jacket away from Spike, "Besides, you haven't been able to wear that coat for a while and since you are in the middle of your growth-spurt, you are going to grow more.""Ugh, more than just pesky wings?" Spike looked at himself in a nearby mirror, moving the wings on his back slowly."Oh, very much so!," Twilig

The purple unicorn had a worried look upon her face, it was her mother-like instincts taking over."How are you feeling today, Spike?" she asked concerned, "Rarity told you weren't feeling good yesterday and you came home to get some bed rest."The purple dragon rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times to wake up, "Yeah
.I'm doing better now. Guess it was just something that just past through me or something," he wasn't going to mention anything about Sweetie Belle.Twilight gave a warm smile, "Well, thank Celestia you are feeling better. And I'm sure the crusaders will be happy to see you doing well, too."Spike's heart skipped a beat when he heard the mare mention the group of fillies, "T-The crusaders?"Twilight nodded as she went to get a one of the books on her bed to place back on the upstairs shelves, "Yeah, A

Throughout the town of Ponyville, All of the citizens were enjoying the beautiful weather. Whether it was from working in the fields to relaxing at the park, they all basked in the warmth of Princess Celestia's sun. At Sweet Apple Acres, it was just another day of bucking apples from the many trees that covered the farm. Near the giant red barn, an apple tree shook and its apples fell from it into a yellow bucket. An orange mare with golden yellow hair, a brown Stetson hat, and emerald green eyes stood with a tired, but proud look smiled at the full bucket. The orange mare, Applejack, took the bucket and made her way out of the orchards. She made her way into the barn, where many more buckets of apples laid there scattered. She placed the bucket amongst one of the few empty spaced, and made her way out. She

But listen, we can still be good friends! How about we go hang out soon?" Spike said in a serious voice."Oh, Spike I would love too! I am happy for you, I wish you and Rarity the best. Don't forget, we have to do something together as friends." replied Applebloom."Yes, yes we will, I promise. Now, let's get back to the party!" Spike said happily.When Spike and Applebloom stepped out of the kitchen, they noticed that Rarity was about to fall! With quick actions, Spike ran over and caught her just in time. When Rarity looked up, all she could see was Spike."Oh Spike, you saved me." She said."Oh, it was nothing, really. I mean, I would do anything for you." Spike replied."But listen Rarity, it took me a long time to say this, but, I love you.""You, you love me?""Yes, I now realize that this is more than just a crush. You are more than beautiful,

"Twi?" she called as she poked her head into the kitchen. Seeing that it was empty, Pinkie Pie decided to check upstairs next. "Twilight?" she called as she bolted up the stairs. The pink furred pony then stuck her head into Twilight's bedroom. "Twilight are you
" Her voice trailed off when she cast her gaze upon the lavender mare. She was sitting on her bed with a small book open on her lap. Occasionally a teardrop would land on the page she was reading. The pink coated pony slowly began to trot over to her lavender friend, until she was standing right in front of her. Twilight seemed to pay no mind to the extra presence in the room; she only seemed to focus on her book."Twilight?" Pinkie asked softly, "What happened?"The lavender unicorn sl
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter OneThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter One: Forgetting Love Spike was sitting in the corner of his and Twilight's bedroom, angrily writing in his journal. Small fire plumes emanated from each nostril as his quill threatened to rip the page to pieces with each strike."How can she do this to me?! After all I've done for her she goes and does this! It's like she just wants to see me get hurt. That fat, insensitive, cow!" Suddenly, in a burst of anger, the little dragon took his book and launched it across the room. Spike had never been this mad in his life; even that time everypony kept babying him paled in comparison to this. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to torch the whole library, but he just sat there; holding an explosion of anger inside."Spike? Are you okay?" asked a familiar and somewhat soothing voice. The little dragon's head instantly shot up to see his lavender frie

The Element of Betrayal -Ch.4-As Applejack was walking back to the house after a hard day's work, she spotted that familiar rainbow-colored streak across the sky heading towards her. She set her basket of apples on the ground and started to walk to where she assumed she would land. They both met next to each other."Hey, Dash." Applejack said. "How'd the, uh, situation go?""Not so good." Rainbow Dash said matter-of-factly. "Twilight doesn't approve of the relationship, and I think she's still mad at me.""Relationship? You mean...""Yes, Applejack. I... I think... Spike and I..."Applejack smirked confirmingly. "Well, that's good, I guess. Now just you let me talk to Twilight for you. Maybe I can convince her to let you back into her life.""I never meant to hurt her.""I know sugarcube. I know." Applejack said in her comforting voice.

The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter TwoThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Two: Giving In Spike was walking along the streets of Ponyville with one arm around Twilight. They both kept looking over at each other with about the same grin on their faces."You know what I can't believe?" asked Spike."What?" replied Twilight."That it took me so long to realize it.""Realize what?""That you were the one." Twilight could feel tears of joy beginning to form in her eyes, but before she could let one escape, she closed her eyes and kissed Spike. She couldn't help but cry; after all that was the nicest thing anypony, or dragon, had ever said to her. After a moment Twilight pulled away and said "Spike, you have no idea how much I love you."Spike lifted up a hand and slowly began to wipe away Twilight's tears. "Trust me. I'm pretty sure I love you more." Twilight chuckled slightly and sniffled. Suddenly she threw her hoo
The Twilights of Spike's Heart Chapter ThreeThe Twilights of Our Hearts Chapter Three: Spike's Revelation Spike was lying on his bed, thinking about all that had happened that day. He wasn't sure if he should write about it, due to the risk of Twilight accidentally, or purposely, finding it in his journal. 'Maybe I do like her' he thought, 'No! I can't like her. She's my best friend and that's it.' Suddenly, Spike heard the sound of hoofsteps from outside of the room. The little dragon quickly regained his composer just as Twilight trotted through the doorway. "Hey Spike," she said in her usual happy tone.Instantly the little dragon sat up and looked over to her. "Oh hey Twi. What is it?"The lavender mare's expression turned somewhat unamused. "Why does there have to be something? Can't I just say hi to my best friend?""Yeah, of course you can, but there is something isn't there?""Uhhhh, that's not the point."Spike let out a slight chuckle. "What is it?""Well I wa

All the ponies (and Spike) went outside and began to chat amongst themselves before leaving. Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were talking and laughing as among themselves as two prissy fillies showed themselves."Well, well, it looks like the blank flanks got themselves a pet," one of them said.The four turned to see two ponies, one pink and the other gray. It was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."Oh dear, not them," Sweetie Belle thought aloud."Don't you two have somepony else to annoy?"

Silver Spoon said with a hint of sass in her voice."So, is this dragon belong to you girls or did you have to steal him?" Diamond Tiara trotted up to Spike, looking at him with interest.

ARCADIA, Calif. (March 29, 2010)—Lookin At Lucky, champion 2-year-old colt of 2009 and the West's number-one Kentucky Derby hopeful, will run in Saturday's Gr. I, $750,000 Santa Anita Derby, according to his Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert.
The 3-year-old Kentucky-bred colt by Smart Strike, who breezed six furlongs at Santa Anita on Sunday in 1:12 flat, will attempt to become the first 2-year-old champion since the great Affirmed in 1978 to win the Santa Anita Derby.
"We were considering the (Gr. I) Arkansas Derby on April 10 because that would have given us a week more from his last race (a win in the Gr. II, 1 1/16 miles Rebel at Oaklawn Park on March 13), but he worked really good here on Sunday and he's ready to run," said Baffert, who has won a record five Santa Anita Derbies, along with three triumphs in the Kentucky Derby.
"Our ultimate goal is to win the Kentucky Derby and by running here on Saturday, this gives us a little extra time going into the Derby on May 1. He's done everything we've asked of him and he overcame a lot of trouble in his last race and then shipped back here real good."
Undefeated in four starts going into the Nov. 7 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, Lookin At Lucky was victimized by a troubled trip from his number 13 post position and ran second, beaten a head in the 1 1/16 miles event for the world's top 2-year-olds.
His next start would come in the Gr. I Cash Call Futurity on Dec. 19 at Hollywood Park, a race he won by three-quarters of a length as the heavy 3-10 favorite.
In winning his 3-year-old debut in Oaklawn's Rebel, Lookin At Lucky ran his record to 6-1-0 from seven starts, with earnings of $1,423,000. A $475,000 Keeneland April, 2009 2-year-old purchase, he is owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman.
Santa Anita morning line maker Jon White said on Sunday that Lookin At Lucky, should he enter to run, would be the 4-5 morning line favorite among a project field of 10 to 12 horses for the 73rd Santa Anita Derby.
"I think Lookin At Lucky most likely will be lower than even-money," White said. "Just take a look at how much respect he got in the betting in the Rebel at Oaklawn. He was even-money on the board for that race despite coming off a layoff…"
Lookin At Lucky and the Eastern-based Eskendereya are considered the nation's top two Kentucky Derby candidates at this time and both will run on Saturday as the Todd Pletcher-conditioned Eskendereya is scheduled to run in the Gr. I Wood Memorial at Aqueduct in New York.
Both races will be part of a one-hour live telecast on NBC, which will be the middle leg in NBC's three-part series entitled "Road to the Kentucky Derby," sponsored by Churchhill Downs and which will air live from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. PDT.
First post time for an 11-race card at Santa Anita on Saturday is 12 noon.
