Hold onto your butts, a new study on San Francisco's rental market (yes another one) reveals the city's newest most expensive neighborhoods.
Priceonomics went pretty darn viral last year upon release of its first study of San Francisco's rental explosion, and round two is certain to blast through SF social media as well. And deservedly so, as the new high rental numbers are staggering.Read more »
As the San Francisco Planning Commission prepares for an Aug. 7 hearing on Sup. David Chiu's widely watched legislation to legalize and regulate short-term apartment rentals through Airbnb and similar companies, the San Francisco Tenants Union tomorrow [Tues/29] launches a "citizen enforcement" campaign against these currently illegal rentals.Read more »
Fractional mortgage loans used to convert apartments into owner-occupied tenancies-in-common have fed the eviction and displacement crisis in San Francisco, where the median home price just surpassed $1 million for the first time. Now, some of the same San Francisco banks that pioneered fractional loans here have started offered them in the East Bay and on the Peninsula.Read more »
Opponents of the anti-speculator tax that will appear on the November ballot blasted the proposal in a City Hall hearing yesterday [Thu/10] — pledging to defeat the measure in court even if voters approve it — but they were overwhelmed by a strong turnout from supporters who said real estate speculation drives up the cost of housing without adding any value.Read more »
Plans to ease San Francisco's often overlooked home foreclosure crisis will have to wait a bit longer. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors this week delayed a resolution that would show the city's "intent" to save underwater mortgages in favor of a resolution that might actually have begin to intervene in underwater mortgages.Read more »
More information has been coming out about how Airbnb is used to convert San Francisco apartments into tourist rentals — including an interesting study reported by the San Francisco Chronicle last weekend — in advance of next month's hearings on legislation to legalize and regulate short-term rentals.
But questions remain about why the city agencies in charge of regulating such "tourist conversions," which have long been illegal under city law, have done so little to crack down on the growing practice. For more than two years, we at the Guardian have been publicly highlighting such violations, which have finally caught fire with the public in the last six months. Read more »
While the Board of Supervisors today considers placing a measure on the fall ballot that would slow market rate housing projects when affordable housing development drops below 30 percent of total production, it is also slated to quietly approve another item showing San Franciscans actually need more than double that amount of housing.Read more »
I'm always wary of the BeyondChron stories by Tenderloin power broker Randy Shaw, who uses the website as a propaganda tool for his interests and those of the politicians who he helped get into office, including Mayor Ed Lee and Sup. Jane Kim, as I wrote in last week's paper.Read more »
It's often rumored that housing conditions in certain single-room occupancy hotels, or SROs, throughout San Francisco are atrocious. And when it comes to SROs under ownership of one family in particular, a lawsuit filed today by City Attorney Dennis Herrera now alleges not only that conditions are unhealthy and inhospitable – they're also illegal.Read more »
Today's dueling rallies at City Hall on whether to fully ban or fully allow the short-term rentals facilitated by Airbnb and other companies -- representing extreme positions on either side of the compromise legislation proposed by Sup. David Chiu -- seem to have as much to do with politics as policy.Read more »

Oregon's rivers may run dry again this summer, but you can still saturate yourself with information about your favorite Beaver State stream. That's because WaterWatch of Oregon has restructured its Web site to serve as a clearinghouse on state rivers.
WaterWatch of Oregon, a nonprofit
conservation group founded in 1985, is dedicated to restoring and
protecting the state's rivers. Links on their revamped site
point to watershed histories of the Klamath, Deschutes and Rogue
rivers, highlighting threats to the systems and offering solutions.
In the case of the Deschutes, WaterWatch outlines the unique
geology of the basin, the problems associated with too little water
and too many users and the benefit of returning flows to the river.
The site also lets visitors know what they can do to affect change
within each river basin. For more information, visit

PARO, Bhutan — When I told my three boys, ages 14, 12, and 9, that we were going to the tiny Asian nation of Bhutan last summer, my eldest looked at me earnestly, and said, "Mom, no offense, but I'm just not a developing world kind of kid." I understood his alarm. Summer is hard-won downtime, a period when lounging, video games, and milkshakes take priority. His idea of kicking back did not include traveling halfway around the world to a country with yaks, weird food, and little in the way of Internet connectivity.
But two months later we were craning for our first glimpse of the Himalayas as our Drukair flight began its descent. Landing in Paro, the site of Bhutan's only international airport and until last year its only airport, is breathtaking and heart stopping. Pilots follow a tight line, swooping between towering, pine-covered ranges before dropping onto the tiny airstrip. It looked impossible, yet minutes later we were on the tarmac. Standing under cornflower blue skies and feeling the sear of the sun, I looked over at my eldest and caught him grinning.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (BP) -- Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN.com is not very tolerant of longtime Nebraska assistant football coach Ron Brown's behavior. Wojciechowski finds Brown's publicly vocalized views on homosexuality in breach of his role as a representative of a state and federally funded university.
Brown, you see, has been vocal in opposing a proposed Omaha gay rights law.
Wojciechowski recently began an ESPN.com commentary with these words: "Let's say there is a gay running back on the Nebraska roster. And Ron Brown is his position coach. Now what? Think about that for a moment. And then think about Brown's very public stance against homosexuality."
Wojciechowski has given it some thought and arrived at the conclusion that Ron Brown should be fired. That's right, fired -- for expressing beliefs on a subject that are consistent with the prevailing view of Americans for the vast majority of our nation's history.
Of course, the majority of Americans no longer hold a negative view of homosexuality. According to Gallup research, the perceived acceptability of gay/lesbian relations crossed the 50 percent threshold in 2010. But does that mean that homosexuality is healthy and acceptable behavior?
Statistically, homosexuals experience greater levels of addiction, depression and diseases. Some, though, place the blame for these problems at the feet of the condemning portion of the populace. In other words, if we eliminate social rejection of homosexuality in our society, these negative statistics associated with it will recede to normal levels.
However, extensive research conducted in the Netherlands -- one of the more liberal countries on the planet -- has revealed that the likelihood of psychiatric disease being attributed to social rejection or "homophobia" is very low.
Wojciechowski even took offense at Brown's office voice message, which says: "I praise the Lord Jesus Christ for today. I hope you're having a blessed day. Not able to answer my phone right now. Give me a try back and Lord willing, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Have a great day." That, Wojciechowski said, conflicts with the "separation of church and state."
The thought of tax dollars going to pay the salary of a man who actually takes the Bible seriously seems unconscionable to the senior national columnist for ESPN.com.
What grieved me most in reading Wojciechowski's column is the fact that he engaged in assassinating Ron Brown's character without referencing the opinions of anyone who worked closely with the man. Wojciechowski would have done well to call upon Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah, a practicing Muslim.
If anyone would be able to attest to the supposed bigoted, narrow-minded, discriminatory behavior of Ron Brown, it surely would be Abdullah. After all, Ron Brown believes that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, something Ameer should take great offense at, considering his Muslim beliefs.
But an Omaha World-Herald story from last September dispelled any notions that Ron Brown was discriminatory in his relationship with Abdullah. In fact, the opposite is clearly the case, with writer Dirk Chatelain painting the picture of a non-discriminating, compassionate coach who treated the Muslim running back with dignity and respect
Yet we get Wojciechowski asking questions like, "Would you want to play for a coach who thinks God loves gays less than women or African-Americans? Would you want to play for a coach who preaches compassion and love, but is willing to turn his back on a fellow human being because of that person's sexual orientation?"
If the reader is not familiar with the logical fallacy of the straw man, here is a classic example. By asking these ridiculous questions, Wojciechowski has erected a straw man, torched it, and proclaimed victory, while the real Ron Brown, godly, compassionate and committed to God's truth, stands untouched by these false accusations.
Brown is more concerned with faithfulness to Scripture than cultural trends. The Scriptures are clear that homosexual behavior is sinful (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Romans 1:26-27). "The same thing that was a sin 2,000 years ago is a sin today," Brown has said. "The thing that was right 2,000 years ago is right today."
I've taken Wojciechowski's advice to heart. I've thought about what it would be like for a gay running back to play for Ron Brown. And I've arrived at a different conclusion than the esteemed ESPN.com columnist. I believe Ron Brown would treat that player with dignity and respect and love, even if disagreeing with his personal, private behavioral choices.
The University of Nebraska would do well to support their loyal employee's right to free speech and not cave in to the pressure from those who are naively and intolerantly calling for his job.

Tolono - Investigators have released new details after a fire Monday morning, that sent a woman to the hospital for burns.
Investigators say the cause of the fire is undetermined. Firefighters were called to County Road 1200 East, where they say a duplex caught fire. The homeowner was inside when the fire started.
Police told us the woman suffered burns to nearly 20% of her body. Investigators say the fire started in a living area. The home is a total loss.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Watching out for the Emerald Ash Borer & other Invasives
Large purple plastic triangular boxes illustrate monitoring activity
by Brad Withrow-Robinson, OSU Forestry & Natural Resources Extension, Benton, Linn and Polk Counties and Wyatt Williams, ODF Invasive Species Specialist
A large purple box hanging in the trees along Airlie Road last year caught my attention at 55 mph. Pulling over I recognized it as a monitoring trap for one of the current invasive species threatening Oregon's woodlands. Luckily ODF and others are watching out.
The emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive insect from Asia, has killed an estimated 100 million trees and caused more than $3.5 billion dollars' worth of damage and property value losses in the eastern U.S. since its arrival in the 1990′s. All 16 North American ash species are threatened with extinction, including our native Oregon ash. The furthest west population yet detected is in Boulder, Colorado – a day's drive or so from Oregon in a motor home. Originally introduced to the U.S. via wood packaging material, it is now spread across the continent in infested firewood.
With summer travel and camping season upon us, you can do your part by educating people about the dangers of moving firewood. There is a whole national campaign about this: Don't Move Firewood. If like me, you enjoy bossing people around, insist your visitors not transport wood!
ODF is working with Oregon State University and OSU Extension, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the US Forest Service, APHIS, and Washington Department of Natural Resources in order to 'save our ash.'
Of course this is not the only invasive we worry about, as human travel and commerce create ever increasing opportunities for insects and diseases to jump around. Chestnut blight and Port-Orford-cedar root rot are some older examples and sudden oak death a more recent arrival. Here in the Willamette Valley, people are becoming aware of a problem in black walnuts. Here is a good article about the thousand canker disease which is killing black walnuts in the area that was just posted last week.
Wow. That is a lot of grim information. We'll try to find something happier next time…..
by Chal Landgren, OSU Extension Christmas Tree Specialist
Anyway it is spelled- Yellowjacket, Yellow Jacket or Yellow-Jacket, these insects are feared and hated not only by picnickers, but by many working in the woods, and in Christmas trees. For Christmas tree growers they can inflict physical and economic pain, since they are unwanted hitchhikers in many shipping destinations.
First some biology- These are not honeybees. Rather, two predatory insects in the genus Vespula, whose common names are the Western Yellowjacket and German Yellowjacket. The WesternComparison of queens. Photo courtesy ODA
Yellowjacket (V. pensylvanica) is a common native. Yes, they are predators, but also scavengers, which makes them a pest at summer BBQs and picnics. The German yellowjacket (V. germanica) is an uncommon non-native species (not wanted in Mexico). Both these insects feed on other insects as well as nectar, honeydew and fruit.
Queens will overwinter in protected locations above or below ground and emerge in May. After the queen emerges she will begin her colony which eventually can include hundreds to thousands of workers. Fertilized queens will emerge again in October or November. Males (stingless) begin to emerge in large numbers in late July.
Control strategies are very time sensitive. Some growers have observed fewer nests being formed if they can get out their lure traps before the females start forming colonies (May). If you can trap a queen you can begin to control the populations. Once the females begin colonies they do not fly and the lure traps catch only workers or males. Workers can fly ¼ mile or so from the nest in search of food. That "food" can be honeydew from aphid feeding on Christmas Trees, if present.
Where they conflict with work or recreation, nests can be targeted with insecticides. The PNW Insect Management Handbook reminds us wasp nests should be treated in evening when wasps are less active with a pesticide formulated specifically for wasp nests (rather than gasoline), and also that some professionals in the PNW collect wasps to be used in the manufacture of allergy injections. Find more here.
There are registered baiting options that can be useful around homes, campgrounds and zoos. The insecticide Onslaught is a microencapsulated version of esfenvalerate (a pyrethroid) is approved for use in bait stations. A company out of Bend, Alpine Pest Management, makes the bait stations.
What's causing all that die-back in Incense-cedar?
A ratty-looking incense-cedar near Corvallis
You've probably noticed that incense-cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) is looking pretty ratty in the mid-Willamette Valley this year.
Some typical, yet inconclusive symptoms….
by Brad Withrow-Robinson, OSU Forestry & Natural Resources Extension, Benton, Linn and Polk Counties
You've probably noticed that incense-cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) is looking pretty ratty in the mid-Willamette Valley this year.
Driving around, I am seeing many trees showing a mosaic of healthy and dead foliage. The dead foliage is reddish to muddy brown and may be individual fronds or small branches. It often seems to be in the lower parts of the tree. Symptoms seem to vary dramatically between trees, even adjacent ones.
So what is going on? Quite likely any of several things.
Incense-cedar rust is a common and familiar foliar disease. It is most recognizable in the spring, when it produces orange gobs of jelly-like goo on the infected fronds. It commonly kills small sprays of leaves and causes a loss of tree vigor in severe cases.
Then there is the less-well-known incense-cedar branch canker which has been showing up in our area recently. It too can cause branch die-back by killing small branches, generally in lower sections of the tree. It seems to hit mature landscape plants. Look for canker lesions and swellings on branches. The canker is sunken, generally a distinct line between live and dead tissue can be seen if you cut back the bark.
Finally, we had a couple periods of record cold weather last winter, with recurring sub-zero temperatures in some areas. I am not seeing injury patterns typical of freeze damage (zones of dead needles, often on the south side of the tree), but suspect that winter temperatures could be a contributing factor.
As I nose around, I've found cankers on some trees, and no clear causal symptoms on others. So I cannot blame this die back on any one thing.
Whatever is going on for these individual trees, it is worth noting that incense-cedar is kind of an exotic tree. Sure, it is a native Oregon tree, but it was not a common tree in the Valley historically. We lie at the extreme northern edge of incense-cedar's native range, a situation where it will likely experience stressful conditions. So it should not be surprising to see it looking ratty from time to time.
The boom-and-bust life of defoliating insects
By Amy Grotta, OSU Forestry & Natural Resources Extension – Columbia, Washington & Yamhill Counties
It is shaping up to be another exciting year in forest health here in northwest Oregon. Fortunately, neither of the two defoliating insects currently on the scene are serious threats to forest or human health, but they are certainly causing a stir.
Right now, Columbia County is in the midst of the largest documented western tent caterpillar outbreak that Oregon has seen in two decades, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry. I first noticed a few tent caterpillar clusters on one site in the area two years ago. Last summer, our Extension office received many calls as the caterpillar population built up. Aerial surveys done a few weeks ago show that at least 13,000 acres are affected in the county this year.Map and aerial view showing extent of western tent caterpillar defoliation, early June. Affected areas are brown in the photo. Source: Oregon Department of Forestry
The caterpillars are everywhere in the most heavily affected areas. It's impossible to move without stepping on them, and looking up through a stand of alder, it looks like early spring as there are no leaves left on the trees.Western tent caterpillars infected by a virus hang in an upside-down V. Photo: Amy Grotta
When the population gets to this level, natural parasites and diseases set in. Upon closer inspection, one can see that some of the caterpillars are hanging limply from their midsections: a symptom that these diseases are beginning to take hold, signaling the end of the boom years and the beginning of the bust.
Other defoliating insects follow similar boom-and-bust cycles, in concert with their respective natural enemies. The western oak looper, which made its appearance in 2012 and 2013 in the mid-Willamette Valley, and the pine butterfly, which affected over 250,000 acres in eastern Oregon in 2011-12, are two examples. Reports are beginning to trickle in that the oak looper is still on the scene in places this year, but the pine butterfly outbreak is over. In 2013, researchers in eastern Oregon observed abundant "boom" populations of two insects that are predators of the pine butterfly larvae.
In Columbia County, 2014 will go down in the books as another "year of the caterpillar". Longtime residents can recall the years marked by previous outbreaks of these insects, just as with big floods and wind storms. One Rainier old-timer recalls another big tent caterpillar year in the 1950's.
The interactions between these forest insects and their natural enemies are an example of how biodiversity at the smallest scale within a forest system leads to patterns that we can observe. Sadly, in our coastal ecosystem, a pathogen is killing off sea stars in unprecedented numbers. It remains to be seen whether the sea stars will be able to rebound, or if they will be busted for good.
Oregon wildflower app for smartphones
By Amy Grotta, OSU Forestry & Natural Resources Extension – Columbia, Washington & Yamhill Counties
In the past, I've written about various smartphone "apps" of interest to woodland owners (if you missed them, you can read these past articles here). Here is another, released last week just in time for the peak of our spring wildflowers.
The Oregon Wildflowers app helps the user to identify and learn about nearly 1,000 wildflower species found in our state. There are two main ways to use the app. If you think you know the plant's common name, you can find it in an alphabetical listing and then view photos and a description. Or, to identify an unknown plant, you can narrow it down by choosing the geographic region, habitat type, flower color, leaf traits, and other characteristics to arrive at a few options.
The Oregon Wildflower app is a product of the Oregon Flora Project, which in turn is housed in OSU's Department of Botany and Plant Pathology. A portion of the proceeds from the app's $7.99 purchase price goes to support the Oregon Flora Project.
I tore myself away from my computer screen to test out the app. Tucked behind our Extension office is what most of the year seems like a swampy, degraded site – only to transform every spring into a sea of camas. It's pretty spectacular, for being wedged between a parking lot and a highway.The field behind our Extension office That's the sea blush in the pink.
I typed in the plant's main characteristics and the app led me to the right species, but only after I tried calling the flowers blue, not purple (note to user: color is a subjective trait). The app also helped me identify another flower that was new to me: rosy plectritis or sea blush.
Now I'm hooked on botanizing (which I learned is really a verb, even though spell-check tells me otherwise), at least for the moment. Yesterday when visiting with some local landowners to plan a summer tour, we found stream violets and calypso orchids (a.k.a. fairy slippers) in their shady second-growth forest. We didn't use the app to identify them, but we could have; it works without a cell phone signal.
A couple more days of sunshine are in store for this week. What better time to head out to your favorite forest for some botanizing of your own? And I do not mean to exclude non-smartphone users. There are plenty of old-school tools, a.k.a. BOOKS, out there to help you learn some new faces. Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast, by Pojar and MacKinnon, is one of my favorites.
What wildflowers are in bloom where you live right now? Leave a reply to this blog post and let other readers know, if you are so inclined.
Will 2014 be the year of the Ips?
Winter storm damage
Storm damage may lead to beetle problems in ponderosa pine
By Brad Withrow-Robinson, OSU Forestry & Natural Resources Extension – Benton, Linn & Polk Counties
Not to be a fear-monger, but there is talk about last winter's storm damage leading to some future beetle problems for ponderosa pine in the Valley.
Now, bark beetles are generally weak predators of trees. Damage is often limited to marginal sites, with beetles usually attacking trees weakened by other stresses, such as drought or flooding. Generally this does not pose a great threat to the other, healthier trees in the area.
But I recently spoke to a couple landowners concerned about bark beetle attacks in their ponderosa pine. Their thinking goes as follows: storm events that cause blowdown can create lots of weak or dying trees- prime beetle rearing habitat!-which sometimes allow beetle populations to grow to a point that they are numerous enough to attack adjacent healthy trees. This is particularly true of the California fivespined Ips (Ips paraconfusus) in ponderosa pine. The tiny Ips beetle needs weak or dying trees to rear brood and is very fond of fresh storm damage just 3 inches in diameter and up. And because Ips have two generations a year in the Willamette Valley, they can have explosive population increases when conditions are right.
Their logic is good, and the landowners I was talking to were worried that conditions this year are lining up for an Ips beetle increase that might harm their young ponderosa pine plantings. I have not seen much storm damage directly to the ponderosa pine plantings, but I have seen some of scots pine plantings which sustained significant damage. Much of it is above 3 inches, freshly down and so potentially ideal breeding material.
Why "potentially?" Well, it is certainly the right size wood to cause problems, and Ips have been collected from many non-native ornamental pine species (including scots pine) here in the Valley. But Rob Flowers, ODF State Entomologist tells me it is not clear how well scots or other exotic pine species support Ips brood production. Nonetheless, he expects we may see an up-tick in Ips damage here and there in the Valley where there was storm damage.
Here is why. The first IPs flight of the year is probably about to start as the overwintering generation of Ips emerges to look for breeding sites. Their flight generally peaks around early-May here in the Valley. If there is lots of down breeding material laying around for too long, we might see a large emergence of the first summer generation in early-mid July, and the second flight period of the year. It is this generation that could pose a significant threat to even healthy ponderosa pine stands in the neighborhood. The July beetles cannot find any fresh slash, so they are more likely to attack standing green trees, just when trees are typically starting to be under some drought stress. This flight will in turn lead to the second generation of the summer, emerging around mid-October to be the overwintering generation.
Generally, the key to preventing large brood build ups of the California fivespined Ips is to clean up damaged stands early. Trunks should be cut from the roots, made into firewood, and stacked to encourage rapid drying. Larger slash needs to be chipped, burned or spread out to dry, rather than left in slow-drying piles. Timeliness is important to prevent larvae from completing their development in June. Rob figures one could theoretically stretch the clean-up period until then, but cautions that every year is different, and our understanding and prediction of development rates and emergence dates is not an exact science.There may still be time to disrupt Ips brood development in storm damage material
I'll close by referring you to this WSU Pest Watch publication for more information about the bug and slash treatment recommendations, which are generally the same as for the Willamette Valley.

---- — It's coming, not tomorrow, but soon. You and I will be asked by our federal and state represen-tatives how the nation and Indiana should pay for the roads we drive.
In the 1800s, local property taxes covered the road fund. People with more time than money might meet their local obligations working on the roads when not working on their farms.
In the 1900s, it became clear that well-maintained road systems were vital to national, state and local interests. As the property tax diminished in importance, state and federal funding increased their roles in financing our roads.
Now, the existing system is under pressure and alternatives are being considered. In Indiana, we pay 18 cents per gallon of gas we buy at the pump.
Yet as our cars and trucks become more efficient, get more miles per gallon, revenues do not keep pace with miles driven.
One way out is to raise the gas tax. This would encourage more hybrid and electric car sales, a policy consistent with reducing air pollution. But it discriminates against older cars, trucks and their owners.
Another way does not discriminate between vehicles according to their power source: increase parking taxes. Tax land that is used for parking, even if there is no existing fee for parking (as at most malls). However, drivers (voters) hate parking fees, often feeling that parking is (or should be) provided by property owners or the city for free.
Perhaps less disliked is the idea of charging a mileage fee which would support the roads and bridges we use daily. It's a simple idea with immense complexities.
In its purest form, the owner of a vehicle reports the mileage when the annual license on that vehicle is renewed. The next year the renewal form shows that mileage and the owner records the current mileage. Then the owner multiplies the number of miles driven in the interval (a year in most cases) by the tax rate.
Yes, this has its problems. It assumes that drivers can read the odometers on their cars and are capable of subtracting the old mileage figure from the new one. Then drivers must be capable of multiplying two numbers.
These elementary school tasks are already performed by those who file the state income tax form.
"But won't people cheat?" you may rightfully ask. Of course they will, just as they cheat on their state and federal income tax. But odometer readings could be checked and recorded when drivers are stopped for some other offense.
Annual self-reporting is preferable to a system whereby a device is placed in your car to record and report where you are driving at what hour. These monitors are a threat to privacy already in use as the "EZ-Pass" or "I-Pass" on toll roads.
We are going to have to find a new way to fund our roads; it shouldn't mean a radical change in our lives.

Many of your friends and neighbors are getting fit this morning as part of the 2013 Get Healthy Virginia Program.
Nearly a dozen teams are taking part in the program so far. It's kicks off today. Virginia Amateur Sports started it four years ago. It consists of teams of two to 10 adults who work together and support their teammates in developing a healthy lifestyle and get more active and physically fit.
The teams compete against each other to set goals and stay motivated throughout the 100 day competition that runs through July 2nd. "I mean you don't want to let your team down you want to help each other," said Diane Williams about why the team focus works. "There are captains you motivate each other and its been very successful for Virginia Amateur Sports."
Here's proof having a partner or two can really help, last year's participants shed 862 pounds and logged more than 46,000 miles of exercise in just 100 days.
You can register through Tuesday.

Well, that was fast. While it's not unusual for sequel talk to surround franchises before they're released, it is pretty unheard of them to get dated, but Sony believes they have a winner on their hands as they've gone ahead and slated "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" for a May 2, 2014 release. That's less than two years after "The Amazing Spider-Man" hits next summer.
While the news comes as a bit of a shocker this afternoon, perhaps we should have seen the webbing on the wall (ha!). You may have forgotten but back in the spring, James Vanderbilt ("Zodiac") was hired back to write the sequel and we presume studio honchos are pretty thrilled with the direction he's taking with the material. While Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are certain to be back (looks like their 2013 is booked), it's not yet known if Marc Webb will return to helm the second installment. Sam Raimi saw nearly a decade of his life eaten up with Peter Parker, and this will only be Webb's second film. He's got time to make up his mind, but if there's other movies and stories he wants to tell (he's got a few non-comic films developing including "Age of Rage" announced earlier this year), we could see the reins being handed off. But if the film is a big hit -- which it should be -- you can bet the studio and fans will want Webb back. And you know what else this means? Sequel speculation on characters and storylines for at least the next two years. Ugh.
So consider this the first tentpole stake of 2014 with more to come. "The Amazing Spider-Man" hits theaters on July 3, 2012.
Marcus | August 6, 2011 6:58 AM
Yes but Marvel like first weekend of May to debut their own movies. Maybe they planned book this date for Captain America 2. ;)
Sony was first, so now they have to look for another date.
Of course it's only my assumptions. :)

The decade-long conflict in Darfur has resulted in thousands of people being displaced from their homes and villages across the region. Most seek shelter in camps for the internally displaced; these camps lack basic amenities such as food, water, shelter and access to proper sanitation as well as healthcare. Humanitarian aid, thus, becomes a crucial need for the displaced populations.
On 28 August 2014, following a recent rift between the Reizegat and Ma'alia tribes, tribal leaders of South, East and Central Darfur met with UNAMID Sector East Head of Office (HoO), Mr. Landing Badjie, and representatives of the Civil Affairs and Public Information sections in El Daein, East Darfur. The visiting delegation was led by the Shartai (leader) of the Fur tribe and the Federal Minister for Education, Dr. Farah.
On 11 August 2014, UNAMID's Rule of Law Section Chief, Ms. Francoise Simard, met with the judicial authorities in Nyala, South Darfur, to explore ways of cooperation in advancing issues related to rule of law.

WASHINGTON — You feel yourself float up and out of your physical body. You glide toward the entrance of a tunnel, and a searing bright light envelops your field of vision.
Rather than an ascent into the afterlife, a new study says these features of a near-death experience may just be a bunch of neurons in your brain going nuts.
"A lot of people believed that what they saw was heaven," said lead researcher and neurologist Jimo Borjigin. "Science hadn't given them a convincing alternative."
Scientists from the University of Michigan recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in nine anesthetized rats after inducing cardiac arrest. Within the first 30 seconds after the heart had stopped, all the mammals displayed a surge of brain activity that had features associated with consciousness and visual activation. The burst of electrical activity even exceeded levels during a normal, awake state.
In other words, they may have been having the rodent version of a near-death experience.
"On a fundamental level, this study makes us think about the neurobiology of the dying brain," said senior author and anesthesiologist George Mashour. It was published Monday online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Near-death experiences have been reported by many who have faced death, worldwide and across cultures. About 20 percent of cardiac arrest survivors report visions during clinical death, with features such as a bright light, life playback or an out-of-body feeling.
"There's hundreds of thousands of people reporting these [near-death] experiences," said Borjigin. "If that experience comes from the brain, there has to be a fingerprint of that."
An unanswered question from a previous experiment bothered her. In 2007, Borjigin had been monitoring neurotransmitter secretion in rats when, in the middle of the night, two of the animals unexpectedly died. Upon reviewing the overnight data, she saw several unknown peaks near the time of death.

I still don't understand why the LASD doesn't move the charter school back to the BP campus, especially as I understand the charter school could help defray some of the costs. Wouldn't this cost the district far less than the current plan. Did they think that if they re-opened BP then all the BCS parents would leave BCS and go to BP, thus damaging BCS in some way. It seems like the LASD is following the worst of all solutions.
on Jan 7, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I too don't understand this. BCS offered several million dollars towards the renovation of Bullis-Purissima at one of the last LASD meetings if they were put at the BP site. Seems as though the board would prefer that we all drive way out of our way rather than do what obviously makes senses.
on Jan 10, 2008 at 9:41 am
The board's only mistake, according to this editorial, was picking a fight with rich people.

Comments about Womens Brooks PureFlow 3 Running Shoe:
This is my third pair. I wasn't crazy about any of the colors that the 3 came out in, but tried a pair on and they felt so amazing I quit caring. I like to use this shoe for tempo and long runs, and racing half marathons if my legs are feeling a little too beat up for a racing flat. They have a neat fit, cushiony but still feel fast and small. The only downside is that they wear out around 300 miles, but they are also less pricey than the energy boost, my other fave so it all works out.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Brooks PureFlow 3 Running Shoe:
This shoe is perfect! Very lightweight, good cushioning and good arch support with a bit of stability. This shoe disappears on my feet when I run (25-30 miles per week). I slightly overpronate and have high arches that get sore in other shoes without inserts, but no issues in these babies right out of the box. And (bonus!)they are relatively inexpensive.

Comments about Womens Brooks PureFlow 3 Running Shoe:
I jog about 15 miles per week, 3 or 4x per week. I am female and 50 years old and about 150 pounds. I am a slow runner but I like getting out there! I like the low profile of these shoes (low heel to toe offset) combined with the cushioning.

Comments about Womens Brooks PureFlow 3 Running Shoe:
These shoes are comfortable and support my arch (I don't feel the usual "fallen arch" that I'll experience when breaking in new shoes). I ran 3.5miles in them right out of the box at my fastest pace and I felt great afterwards. My calves were a little sore afterwards since these shoes really keep you in fore/mid foot running which I'm still relatively new to. Nonetheless, I love the snug fit and light weight feeling of the shoe. It's a little too narrow on my right foot but I've only been running in them for a week now so they are starting to break in and stretch a little more. I'd definitely recommend these shoes...they are really helping me push myself to run further and faster while still maintaing good running form.

These shoes are so light yet full of support and cushion. My only wish for is other colors.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Brooks PureFlow 3 Running Shoe:
I loved the PureFlow 1, hated the 2's (returned them - they felt narrow on my narrow feet, and hot), and am now back to loving the 3's. They have a little more room in the toe box than the 2's without being as roomy as the 1's. They feel a lot more agile and springy than the 1's or 2's while being really responsive.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Brooks PureFlow 3 Running Shoe:
I have been running in the PureFlow line since it's inception. The new Pure Flow 3 is almost a cross between PF 1 and PF 2. It is not as cushioned as the PF1 but hugs the foot better. It also hugs the foot better than the PF 2 and seems more stable. So far, I like the shoe enough to think about cuing up a second pair.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin held his final press conference before Super Bowl XLV. He was asked about his feelings on Friday: "I'm a robot. I'm just going to ride the wave."
Tomlin on how the weather has affected the Steelers this week: "We're kind of used to inclement weather. At least from my perspective, it hasn't changed how we've worked at all. We've been inside for several weeks now back in Pittsburgh, so it's no big deal there. I'll tell you one thing, the people at TCU have been more than accommodating. We really appreciate your hospitality."
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy held his final press conference before Super Bowl XLV on Friday. He was asked about the health status of WR Donald Driver: "I would be shocked if Donald Driver does not play Sunday. He would practice today if I would let him. He tweaked it in Wednesday's practice, and frankly I just do not want to take any chances at this point. So I will hold Donald from practice again today. Donald's played a lot of football, he knows the offense, he's had a whole week of preparation with the plan last week, so this is clearly just being safe with him."
McCarthy on handling the big stage of the Super Bowl: "And frankly, we took a moment and showed the movie from 'Hoosiers.' Everybody loves the movie 'Hoosiers,' where the basketball team walks into the arena and they measure the foul line and it's 15 feet, and they measure the hoop and it's 10 feet, and everybody goes OK, it's big in here. That's our approach. We're going to play football. When we cross that white line, it's going to be about playing Packer football, and that's what we're focused on."
Commissioner Roger Goodell held his press conference on Friday and discussed the owners' push for an 18-game regular season: "The fans have clearly stated that they don't like the preseason. We have a 20-game format, 16 regular-season games and four preseason games, and the fans have repeatedly said the preseason games don't meet NFL standards. And that is the basis on which we started this 18-game concept, taking two low-quality preseason games and turning them into two high-quality regular-season games."
Goodell on getting a new Collective Bargaining Agreement agreed to by March 4: "Our focus is on trying to get a contract done. We want to get this deal done in the next few weeks."
Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011
The Packers have a tradition of rotating captains for each game, and every week, one of those captains steps up and speaks to the team before they take the field. QB Aaron Rodgers said on Thursday that the tradition is a credit to head coach Mike McCarthy. "Allowing a different guy every week to talk and call the team up has really showed us different sides of these guys that we didn't know had great leadership qualities before this," Rodgers said. "Guys like A.J. [Hawk], guys like Scott [Wells], guys like Ryan Pickett, have gotten in front of the team and said things that [were] kind of long overdue. Mike allowing those guys to talk before the games has really meant a lot to them and also to their teammates, because it's allowed us to see a different side of them."
Ben Roethlisberger and some teammates went out to dinner and a piano bar earlier this week, which concerned some reporters. Head coach Mike Tomlin, however, was not concerned. "People do have to eat dinner, you know," Tomlin said. "Believe it or not, guys lead lives."
The NFLPA held a press conference in Dallas, and executive director DeMaurice Smith said that while the players and owners fight in their negotiation for a new CBA, a third side will be affected the most: "The people that have the most to lose are the fans," Smith said.

Steelers C Maurkice Pouncy is questionable for Sunday with a high ankle sprain. He told NFL.com a decision could be made on Friday: "If I'm not on the field Friday, most likely I'm not playing. I'm not going to put the team in a bad position."
Packers WR Donald Driver has been a vital part of Green Bay's passing attack all season. He spoke to ESPNMilwaukee.com about soaking in the chance to play in the Super Bowl: "This means everything. As a kid, you watch Super Bowls on TV and you dream about it. So when it finally comes, you can't let it slip away. It's right here in front of me. This is where it all starts, and this is where it all finishes. You have to enjoy every moment."
Packers RB James Starks has really been turning it on as of late. He shared some of his tips with CBSSports.com: "You just run hard and do your best. I have confidence in myself. The main thing I've done in the playoffs is just be me."
A lot has been made of the similarities between the defense of the Steelers and Packers. Pittsburgh defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau talked to the Green Bay Press-Gazette about how much they have in common: "This is probably the only Super Bowl ever that players from either team could jump in the defensive huddle and understand the terminology and probably run the defense."
Steelers OT Flozell Adams spent 12 years with the Cowboys before joining the Steelers. He talked to Steelers.com about deciding to play in Pittsburgh: "Coming here was a good move. There is such tradition. I went up to where the trophies are right after training camp and I saw them and was like this is a great thing to have six Super Bowl trophies. That is a tough thing to accomplish. You can tell the tradition this team has, winning two Super Bowls in the last five years. I knew the opportunity for me to at least press for it was great."

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was the center of attention at Super Bowl media day, talking about the off-field issues he faced last summer. The two-time champion told The Toronto Sun about one of the bigger steps he's had to go through since his sexual assault conviction last April: "I've had a lot of apologizing to do. I had to apologize to the Rooneys (Steelers owners); I had to apologize to the fans. I had to apologize to the press. I wasn't always the nicest guy. I can admit that."
The man responsible for molding the defense that has to stop Roethlisberger on Super Sunday, Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, told reporters at media day about his team's approach heading into the big game: "I think our philosophy is based in, number one, trying to stop the run and trying to make the game a one-dimensional game. We feel we have many different things that can attack and pressure the quarterback, and we know this is a quarterback-driven league now. If you let the quarterback sit there and he can do everything on time, then it's normally going to be a long game in this league. You have to be able to do something to try to disrupt the quarterback's rhythm, and, if you can do that, it leads to being able to take the ball away."
One of the league's tougher defenders, Steelers OLB James Harrison, said to The Washington Post that his intention isn't to hurt anybody in the Super Bowl, even (a bit sarcastically) appealing to the commissioner to make things safer for opposing players: "I don't want to hurt nobody. I don't want to step on nobody's foot or hurt their toe," Harrison said. "I don't want to have no dirt or none of this rubber on this field fly into their eye and make their eye hurt. I just want to tackle them softly on the ground, and if you all can, we'll lay a pillow down where I'm going to tackle them, so they don't hit the ground too hard ... Mr. Goodell."
The first question asked of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers at media day was by NFL Network host Deion Sanders, who wanted to know if former Packer Brett Favre had contacted the QB this week about preparing for the Super Bowl: "No," Rodgers said without hesitation.

Alps families tell of heartbreak
4:37pm Wednesday 12th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
The families of three Britons killed in a shooting spree in the French Alps said they were "heartbroken" by their deaths but "touched by the expressions of sympathy from people all over the world".
Engineer Saad al-Hilli, his wife and mother-in-law were brutally murdered in a remote spot close to Lake Annecy a week ago.
Ahmed Al-Saffar, the brother of Mrs al-Hilli's dead mother, said: "The victim's family and I are heartbroken by this shocking crime and we have been touched by the expressions of sympathy from people all over the world.
"The victim's family are of Iraqi-Arabic origin. We are very grateful for the support provided by the British, French and Iraqi authorities during this difficult time.
"We hope that those responsible for the deaths of our loved ones are brought swiftly to justice.
"In the meantime, we would ask that the media understand that as a family we need time to grieve and we would therefore request that they respect our privacy at this intensely difficult time."
The statement, on behalf of the al-Hilli and Al-Saffar families, came as Annecy's chief prosecutor Eric Maillaud spoke about the investigation's progress.
Mr Maillaud is due to travel to the UK as part of an investigation into the murder, with examining magistrate Michel Mollin, another senior member of the inquiry team.
They will join a small number of French investigators already in Britain to help unravel the mystery surrounding the deaths of the three Britons and French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, who apparently stumbled across the attack.
Mr Maillaud told reporters that he hoped the inquiry would progress as quickly as possible. He said the scene of the crime had been protected by the gendarmerie again as witness statements were being checked for timings of sightings, which often changed when people thought for longer about what they had seen.

WNEM TV5 is learning that Flint police are investigating its first homicide of the year.
According to The Flint Journal, a teenager was shot inside a home on the city's north side and later died.
Police were called to a home in the 1700 block of North Chevrolet Avenue around 3 a.m. Tuesday. The Michigan State Police crime lab was also called to the home to assist investigators in the case.
"I don't feel good at all," said Terry Brown.
Brown said he recently moved to the home on North Chevrolet Avenue about three months ago. Brown told TV5 that he lives there with his son and several other family members.
According to Brown, he heard a loud gunshot at about 3:00 am Tuesday morning and then immediately rushed to the basement to check on his son and his son's friend.
"So when I came down I seen his friend... lying down... and my son laying against the wall crying," Brown explained.
"He's shot, he's shot," Brown said as he continued to explain his son's reaction to what had happened.
Brown, having difficulty composing himself, said the teen later died.
"He was breathing when they took him out," Brown cried.
Police have not identified the victim or revealed his age.
The 66 homicides reported through Monday morning in Flint are tied with that city's 2011 tally. Flint also recorded 66 homicides in 2010. The previous record was 62, set in 1986.

I don't know where the previous poster was at embarkation but I was in the second row of chairs and it was very orderly, they began a couple of minutes after noon, they called by row, we were on board before 1230 and in our rooms by 230. Well done.
The food was not as good (until I found a very accommodating head waiter and then we had two terrific meals in Compass Rose!)
The service was not as good (until I found a wonderful waiter in CR and sat in his section every night. Room service was great. Really, only La Veranda outside at breakfast was not too great.
There were wonderful bartenders and coffee guys. Elvis was wonderful!! I truly had the best chocolate martini (well, three) ever in the casino bar!
Vibration, yes, it was still there but we did have some rough weather.
Yes, it did seem as if some of the staff was not too happy, there were some that were great. A surly female in destinations but Cynthia was great. Everyone in reception was nice but Connie, Executive Concierge really stood out!!!
Our butler was the same we had two years ago and he was as wonderful but it was also clear that his hands were tied on a couple of issues, which he did tell us about what had changed in the last two years.
Regent is not as wonderful as it was two years ago, or when it was Radisson, but, all inclusive including excursions, it is a very good luxury experience. It is even better if you are not comparing it to how it used to be.
It is still a luxury line and I would still recommend it to others, In fact, I booked a cruise for next Feb and I am bringing a group with me. By the way, no problem with meeting with the cruise consultant and he was very personable.

me and matt (from your team) figured out what was the problem on IRC, ?flush=1 solved the issue. Database and installation was totally new.
the theme engine you added needs to be updated for overall API during install
line was not automatically updated thus page.ss and rest of files could not be found in themes directory where they suppose to be according to new SS structure
but i could be wrong i'm only few days with SS,,, thanks to packtpub.com's survey

Installed and seems to work for me. The save & publish is a nice improvement.
The access tab seems to be what I need, but unfortunately in 'security groups' you can't set group member permissions for sections of the frontend - as suggested in http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=permissions:codes.
It would be nice if we could set this on certain id's and include subpages as well.
So I guess this access-tab is for people who can login into the backend only?
I think this would be much more useful if this would allow us to control 'frontend' users as well.
