- A happy birthday memoryOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/23/2014Visited on Wednesday after the theatre rush and had a wonderful time. Full attention of the staff.

We were there for a birthday celebration and all of the staff we interacted with were very polite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- An enjoyable dinnerJohnrockDined on 6/20/2014Ruth's Chris is always our choice when we are in the city and looking for a good meal and outstanding service. I had the pleasure of dining on a 16 ounce bone in filet which was cooked to perfection and the taste was superb. The meal is always pricey so I expect the best and RC does not disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sizzling SteakRoxanne26Dined on 6/15/2014Ruth Chris offers consistently excellent food. The steaks are mouth watering delicious. It is our favorite steakhouse. Your wait staff are friendly and experienced and a pleasure to work with.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/15/2014Had a fantastic meal at Ruth Chris. Our waitress, Liz, is always fantastic. We always request that she serve us.Special Features:
- Enjoyable meal at Ruth's ChrisgemgirlDined on 5/24/2014I hadn't been to Ruth's Chris in many years but dined there at the suggestion of a friend. With the emergence of many other steak restaurants in Philadelphia I always want to try other places. I found the drinks, sides and Chilean Sea Bass to be outstanding but my friend's filet was disappointing. It was very quiet as it was a holiday weekend so we had plenty of attention. Would I return? Not sure if I would rush back, but I wouldn't right it off eitherSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent for business meetingsMichaelVIPDined on 5/14/2014Business dinner meeting for 5 came off without a hitch. Excellent food - attentive service.
- off night in the kitchen?eatoutalotVIPDined on 5/10/20148:30 on a Saturday night and they were already out of double cut lamb chops, which 3 out of 6 people ordered. Offered us an alternative, and for our inconvenience, free dessert as well. Except they were out of a main dessert that 3 out of 6 ordered as well. Steaks were not "sizzling" on the plate as usual. Sides were just ok. Overheard table next to us never even got their appetizers. Ruth's Chris is better than this. This is our first "not so great" experience. Kitchen needs to get their act together though.

- Anniversary Dinnerbsiravo1Dined on 4/26/2014My husband and I just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary, when we arrived there were red rose petals all over the table which was was really sweet. Also one of the managers came over and made a rose out of of a dinner napkin.... They definitely can pull of a romantic evening if your looking to impress your significant other just make them aware when you make the reservation!Special Features:
- Ruth Chris RestaurantMikeWizDined on 4/11/2014Great Food. Outstanding time we had. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was okay....JacquieD55Dined on 4/10/2014We enjoyed our dinner, but 4 of us were seated in the bar area at a table only big enough for 3. We asked but we're not offered a seat in the dining room which was irritating. It was typical RC 's, good, but nothing special.I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinernornor2Dined on 4/10/2014Service was great and were right on time for a before theater performance. Also enjoyed a window table to view happenings on Broad Street.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Great ServiceruthmalloyDined on 4/9/2014Not only was the food delicious and plentiful, they even held our leftovers for us as we were going to a play down the street. Great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a special occassionburbvisitorsDined on 4/9/2014Had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary. Service was wonderful with Steve and Sal having just the right amount of attentiveness. Did not feel rushed but still got out in time for a show. Rib eye and petite filet were great. It was all we could have hoped for. The rose petals on the table were a nice touch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Standing the test of timeIsaac25Dined on 4/6/2014Me and the wife went here for the first time in a few years. It has not lost a beat. Each of us got the filet, which was perfectly cooked. Also got the gumbo, which had a nice spice added to it. Only downside: my wife wanted a t-bone, which they did not have available. However, they provided free appetizers to compensate. Overall, this remains my wife's favorite steakhouse and we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousHereForTheTangoDined on 4/5/2014The sizzling hot plate that the steak comes out on really makes it. You can order your steak just a little rarer than usual because of the hot plate. It's awesome.Special Features:
- ServiceFranDined on 4/4/2014Denise and Christina were the best servers we have encounter in a very long time! We had a great time. Would go again when ever we are in the city. Thanks for the special attention.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday DinnerAngelDined on 3/30/2014My husband and I went here to enjoy a quiet Sunday dinner. We started with onion au gratin and new orleans gumbo soups. He liked the onion soup and I liked the gumbo although I thought it needed a little more seasoning. He got the filet with bernaise sauce and I got the salmon. We got a side of sweet potato casserole and green beans. The sweet potato casserole is very sweet but flavorful and green beans were cooked correctly. We both enjoyed our dinners very much. It was early so there were not many other patrons in the restaurant so it was quiet and food came out quickly. We ended the meal with the creme brulee which we shared and finished all of it. Our waitress was tentative during the whole time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fit for a king!scattieDined on 3/30/2014Took my dad here to enjoy the filet classic price fix. Was a wonderful experience! I believe my dad wanted a bucket of the berry fusion martinis to go!Special Features:
- Great food. Waiter seemedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/28/2014Great food. Waiter seemed somewhat standoffish but knew his stuff. Its very dark with no windows so we asked to be seated by the bar where there are windowa. We were told that it was reserved but it was empty and remained empty through our entire time there.Special Features:
- Post-matinee dinnerBookCookieDined on 3/16/2014We were very pleased with all aspects of the dinner. The waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable and, best of all, did not constantly interupt our conversation to ask how we liked everything. The gumbo was a generous portion and deliciously spiced. Even my well-done petit filet was moist and flavorful. The drinks were generous, the broccoli crisp and green, and the creme caramel was the perfect ending to a good meal. The espresso was rich. Definitely will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fabulous find247foodieVIPDined on 3/15/2014forgot how terrific this restaurant is...from start to finish -- a gem! we'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Birthday DinnercCrystalcharmDined on 3/7/2014My husband and I celebrated his birthday and decided to dine @ Ruth's Chris in Philadelphia. What a treat! From the greeters at the front door to all the servers, we were made to feel special. The atmosphere was fit for a special occasion dinner. Every dish selected was simply "delicious"! The proportions were plentiful and our server, Steve was very attentive to our needs. The meal was pricey and worth every dollar. I cant wait until our next visitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious meal!DexterVIPDined on 2/21/2014We both had the bone in filet special and special it was! Service was on point yet not intrusive. Very friendly staff !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic nightKyloveDined on 2/20/2014Me and the fiancé went and we really enjoyed ourselves. Steak was great!! Stuffed lobster with crabmeat was amazing and then the lobster Mac nd chesse was awesome!!!! Then my fav which is creme brûlée, I was in love. And can't wait to go back. Would recommend friends and family to go. Then our server was really nice and made sure we was satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Entrees were just good. Toomdmd409VIPDined on 2/20/2014Entrees were just good. Too many errors made in taking the order and delivering what was ordered. Not a very attentive wait staff despite there being two people assigned to our table of 4. Did not care for their choice of plate size for the entrees. It was difficult to add sides to ones dish with the plate size so small. While these seem petty complaints, for the prices charged there are many better steak houses in town. By better I mean the quality, and taste, of the meats served. For a pre concert, or show, meal it was just OK. A lot of similarly priced restaurants in the area with a better satisfaction at the end of the meal. It just did not click.Special Features:
- Excellent as usualTamaraVIPDined on 2/19/2014We have dined here previously when attending a show in Philadelphia and were once again pleased. The service is excellent and food quality superb. The servers were attentive and timed our meal to ensure that we finished with enough time to get to the show. Even the valet for our car made sure that it was waiting for us in front of the restaurant when the show ended. Will return again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dream Not!nycgrlpaDined on 2/16/2014I like steak. I have never been to a "steakhouse" I thought Ruth's Chris would be a good spot. Dream not. The evening started with a play. I was not impressed with the show. I thought dinner would make it up to my date. Dream not. I was tossed between the ribeye and the filet. I chose the ribeye and the brussel sprouts. The steak was bland and the sprouts undercooked. My date ordered the broccoli au gratin came out 10-15 minutes after her salmon. I like dining out to eat a meal I can not create at home. I was truly disappointed. There was nothing I could not re-create and do better. The server was apologetic during the service. Dessert was free. Ifnot for that we would have left the restaurant hungry.
- Phiily's Ruth's ChrisAmazingDined on 2/15/2014From the moment we walked in the staff was attentive and friendly. We went in that day with 2 minors at our table, but the waiter never treated them like kids but as young adults. The young men really appreciated that. As always the food AMAZING and consistent. Which is why we always go into a Ruth's Chris in what ever city we are in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great steakBillDined on 2/15/2014We found the room where we ate to be a little on the messy side with multiple dirty tissues and obvious food crumbs on the floor. Also, our initial table rocked about 6 inches up and down on either side. After an attempt to remedy the situation with a napkin, we moved to the table next to ours. These our somewhat minor issues, but the steak is 50 bucks so I would expect nothing but the best dining conditions. The service was solid, especially the waiter's assistant (don't remember his name). The steak was amazing as always. The remainder of the food was good.
- WonderfulKg12389Dined on 2/14/2014This place and its good was amazing. While it is a little pricey, it was worth it. I got the ribeye streak which I highly recommend. It was tender and juicy. Best ribeye I've ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome steak!GeorgeDined on 2/14/2014We enjoyed steak and lobster and were completely satisfied! Side dishes, salads and desserts are delicious too.Special Features:
- Great dinner!GoodstuffDined on 2/8/2014From the bartenders to the server to the server assistant, they made it a great birthday dinner for my wife! Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding As UsualMAGGIEVIPDined on 2/8/2014Ruth's Chris on Broad Street is always one of our favorite Philly restaurants. The steak is always perfectly cooked, service is gracious without being intrusive and Dave and Christine make the best Makers' Mark old-fashions in town. What more could you ask for? Just go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Suhilah Hariri was visibly torn apart and in tears at the scene of a fiery crash in Burbank. She says she raised Malak Hariri, one of the victim's killed in the accident Saturday morning
"She's a very smart girl, very good girl very respectful girl. She never had problems at home with us," said Suhilah Hariri.
A Nissan sedan was speeding down San Fernando Blvd. near Scott Rd just after 4 in the morning when the driver lost control, slammed into a concrete wall and the car burst into flame; killing 5 victims and injuring a 6th teenager - according to Burbank Police.
"You grow up with this people and it's hard to take this all in," said Ruby Alvarado who was friends with several of the victims.
Dozens of friends and family members gathered at the scene through the day, they tell FOX 11 the victims are: Stephen Stoll , Sebastian Forero, Malak Hariri, Sugey Cuevas, and Sameer Navarez. The teens are recent graduates of Burroughs and Burbank high schools.
Friends say some were enrolled in College, they're described as kind happy people who always enjoyed life.
"These people were always fun, fun to be around. If you wanted to be out and party they were the people to be with. You always had a good times with them," said Alvarado.
According to friends the teens were heading home from a party when they crashed. Clara Cruz's daughter was good friends with one of the victims. Clara describes the tragic accident is a parent's worst nightmare, "This is devastating. My daughter is devastated because she's lost more than 1 friend in this accident. So it's devastating and I can't imagine what the parents are going through.
The Burbank Police Department is waiting for autopsy results to confirm the victims' identities and whether alcohol was a factor.
A family friend of the 18-year-old victim who survived says she has a dislocated hip, two broken bones in her leg and had to get metal rods put in, due to her injuries. She is expected to recover.

Coastal erosion is a problem for homeowners up and down the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. But the East Coast isn't the only place where the ocean is encroaching on the shore. A case in point: Haleiwa, Hawaii, where ocean waves over Christmas chewed a big chunk out of five oceanfront properties. The Weather Channel reports on the holiday washout here (see: "Fast-Moving Erosion Threatens Hawaii Coastal Homes," by Audrey Mcavoy/Associated Press).
"The Christmas swell damaged at least five oceanfront properties in the neighborhood, rekindling a decades-old debate about how best the state and homeowners should respond to beach erosion and the increasingly rising waters of the Pacific Ocean," the Weather Channel reported.
In the short term, homeowners got permission for emergency measures. When one of the affected families ran out of sandbags, they built their temporary barricade using polka-dot pillow cases from Walmart.
But a longer-term defense against the erosion, such as an armored seawall or an artificial dune, would require environmental permits—and permanent measures to fight erosion have drawbacks. The University of Hawaii maintains a website documenting the island state's changing coastline ("Hawaii Coastal Erosion Website"), with interactive maps showing where beaches have shrunk and where they've widened. The website notes: "When erosion threatens the built environment a common reaction is to armor the shoreline with a seawall or revetment. Armoring may impound sand thereby impacting the sediment budget of a beach and exacerbating the erosion. Shoreline armoring also increases wave turbulence and reflection. It is common to find that the construction of one seawall on a beach leads to proliferation of additional seawalls. Armoring a chronically eroding coast leads to beach loss (Fletcher, et al., 1997). In an era of accelerating sea-level rise (Church and White, 2006) the threat of chronic erosion and beach loss is growing."

The Detroit Lions' late-season collapse may have cost the head coach his job, but the general manager is reportedly staying put.
Shortly after news broke Monday that coach Jim Schwartz had been fired, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports is reporting that the Lions will retain GM Martin Mayhew for the 2014 season.
Schwartz was let go Monday in the wake of a four-game losing streak that kept the talented but underachieving Lions out of the postseason. Detroit was 6-3 at one point this season and was still in prime position to make the playoffs as late as Week 13 when they held a 7-5 record. They would not win another game after, finishing 7-9 and spoiling a prime opportunity to capture the NFC North in a down year for the conference. The Packers sealed the division crown on Sunday with an 8-7-1 record.
Mayhew just finished his 13th season with the Lions organization and his fifth year as the general manager.

Penn State almost lost to Temple. Indiana has started out the year 1-3, with one of those losses to North Texas and the only win coming against South Carolina State. So it's probably not a huge surprise that the Nittany Lions and the Hoosiers are tied at three apiece at the half.
It's not that the teams haven't moved the ball -- Penn State went 65 yards on 11 plays on its scoring drive, part of 242 total yards on the half. And Indiana has gained 105 total yards, including 47 on its nine-play possession to set up the field goal. But the play on the offensive side has been a bit, um, uneven. The teams have combined for three turnovers and seven penalties already.
Oh, and Penn State is apparently sticking with the McGloin-Bolden experiment, which has so far yielded a passing line of 9-of-23 for 150 yards and an interception. So there's that.

The mighty Hamilton Aggies rolled into Hudson-Kirby stadium expecting an easy win against the Blue Devils — who only have a total of 11 juniors and seniors on this year's roster.
Woody Smother's team had a different plan — upset the Aggies and take early control of region play.
There would be adversity to overcome, however, as Hamilton picked up the 41-13 victory. Besides the small number of experienced juniors and seniors available, Coach Smothers had no less than 12 players on the sideline who could not play due to various injuries.
They also had to overcome the stiff Aggie defense.
In the end, it was this final obstacle that proved too difficult for the Devils to overcome. From the opening drive Hamilton's defense showed that they were ready for anything Cordova could throw at them as the Blue Devils made a quick three and out exit, running for three yards on the first two downs before losing five yards on a screen pass.
The ensuing punt was returned 88 yards for a touchdown by Mitch Stults, but the play was called back to the Blue Devil's 40 yard line due to a penalty for an illegal block.
Stults didn't seem to mind. On the first play from scrimmage he found Jesse Box for a 40 yard touchdown pass. Kevin Chavez added the extra point to give the Aggies a 7-0 lead with 9:19 remaining in the 1st quarter.
On its next possession, Hamilton drove the ball 70 yards on 6 plays capping off the drive with a four yard touchdown run by Quinton May for a 13-0 lead.
Cordova didn't give up, they were just getting started.
Noah Ard took Hamilton's kickoff at the 15 and returned it 85 yards for a touchdown, making the score 13-7.
On Hamilton's next offensive play, Stults threw a pass into double coverage and Jamaal Cooper picked it off for the Devils, setting them up for a first and ten at the Aggies 38-yard line. Seven plays later, Andrew Minor crashed across the goal line from eight yards out to tie the game at 13 with 1:20 left in the first quarter.
On the following drive, Cordova's defense employed a bend but don't break philosophy, allowing Hamilton to drive down to the Blue Devil 10-yard line before a fumble was forced and recovered by Jeffre Wingo.
From there, the depth and experience of the Aggies proved to be too much. Hamilton opened up their offense allowing Stults to find Justin Scott for a 36-yard touchdown pass with 6:59 left in the first half, and again for 21 yards with only 25 seconds left in the first half. Stults also found time to return a Cordova punt 50 yards for a score, giving Hamilton a 35-13 halftime lead.
The second half was a continuation of the dominance the Aggies had shown throughout the second quarter as their defense only allowed Cordova to gain 25 yards as a team. Hamilton took advantage of Cordova depth issues to allow most of their roster to get playing experience and added only one more touchdown in the second half, a one-yard run by Kevin Chavez with 4:30 left in the game. Chavez finished with 15 yards on 9 carries for one touchdown and was 3-5 on extra point attempts.
Mitch Stults led the Aggies with 181 yards passing on 8-15 completions and three touchdown. Stilts also carried the ball 6 times for 42 yards and had a 50 yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter.
The Blue Devils were led on offense by Noah Ard who averaged over 7 yards per carry on the ground and returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown.
Workhorse running backs Andrew Minor and Jamaal Cooper were each kept in check by the Hamilton defense, allowing Minor just 31 yards and one touchdown on 9 carries and 14 yards for Cooper on 12 rushes. Cordova was led on defense by Wingo's 7 tackles and one fumble recovery.

OAP's body pulled from flooded home
2:37pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A body has been pulled from a flooded home after a river reached record levels and burst its banks.
The elderly woman was found dead in the beleaguered Welsh city of St Asaph where hundreds of people have been urged to flee their water-logged homes.
Her body was discovered at midday after the River Elwy surged through flood defences as the wet weather continued to wreak havoc across the country.
Next of kin have been informed, North Wales Police said.
A spokesman said: "North Wales Police can confirm that the body of an elderly woman has been recovered from a flooded property in Tair Felin, St Asaph, Denbighshire. Local officers from the emergency services who were conducting house-to-house checks discovered the body of the woman at noon today."
Officers said there were no suspicious circumstances and have launched an investigation into her death, which is being treated as unexplained.
A further 500 people living in St Asaph were encouraged to pack their bags today and move in with friends or family until the risk subsided.
The Elwy, which was still rising this afternoon, has reached a record high of 14ft 3in (4.35m) at St Asaph, making it more than 3ft (1m) deeper than its previous record of 11ft 4in (3.47m) in November 2009. Typically, the river level at this spot varies between 3ft (0.90m) and 6ft 7in (2.02m).
The Environment Agency has issued two severe flood warnings in Wales - one for St Asaph - indicating a potential danger to life.
A 92-year-old local man was rescued by British Red Cross volunteers early on Tuesday after he became trapped in his house as flood waters rose in the city on Monday night.

Article By: HARVEY FINKEL, MD
Current research appears to confirm, and in part explain, some of red wine's cardiovascular benefits, especially vis-à-vis eating enjoyably. Work done in Jerusalem at Hebrew University's Institute of Drug Research demonstrated that components of red wine, perhaps antioxidant polyphenols, vastly reduce the formation of a toxic cholesterol-altering compound following a meat meal. Let's first review what usually happens after we enjoy the flesh of various four-footed and winged creatures.
Meats contain abundant cholesterol and polyunsaturated fats that are involved in the formation of atheroma, the plaques inside arteries that eventually choke off blood flow, leading to heart attacks and strokes. Perhaps most notorious of these dangerous and damaging blood fats is low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, popularly known as the "bad cholesterol". It plays an important role in the process of atherosclerosis. Not all LDL cholesterol is equally odious. Chemical changes, especially oxidation, render the devil even more evil.
A simple but potent compound called malondialdehyde is elaborated in increasing blood concentration after the consumption of meat, more so after red meat. The malondialdehyde oxidizes the LDL cholesterol to its most lethal form, thereby hugely elevating cardiovascular risk.
The group in Jerusalem fed healthy volunteers dark-meat turkey for four days, avoiding other meat and fish, and measured blood levels of maldialdehyde, which, as expected, rose progressively. They found that a greater proportion of the bad cholesterol had been transformed into its evil twin, the more active oxidized form, by 97 percent. The same individuals were then given the same diet, but this time including the equivalent of a glass of red wine (not specified) with the meat. Now, the atherogenic compounds did not go up – they actually decreased.
Pending formal publication in the journal of functional foods, the research was posted online on October 3O, 2O12, by S. Gorelik, J. Kanner, D. Schurr, and R. Kohen under the title "A Rational Approach to Prevent Postprandial Modification of LDL by Dietary Polyphenols".

Assessment of Student Learning
Assessment Philosophy
Columbia's assessment philosophy is based on the idea that the actual "data" we are seeking are contained in the conversations we have about the data. That is, greater awareness, understanding, and transformation will result from our collecting and reporting efforts, if we create opportunities to discuss the data with our colleagues. As Margaret Wheatley (2002) noted, conversation is the natural way humans think together.
Questions for Conversations on Student Learning
(Adapted from the Higher Learning Commission's Statement on Assessment of Student Learning)
- How are stated student learning outcomes appropriate to Columbia's mission, programs, degrees, and students?
- What evidence do we have that students achieve our stated learning outcomes?
- In what ways do we analyze and use evidence of student learning?
- How do we ensure shared responsibility for student learning and for assessment of student learning?
- How do you evaluate and improve the effectiveness of our efforts to assess and improve student learning?
- In what ways do we inform the public and other stakeholders about what and how well your students are learning?
Reference: Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to Restore Hope to the Future, by Margaret J. Wheatley, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., 2002.
Assessment at Columbia
The Evaluation and Assessment office consults with academic units as they develop and implement strategies to measure student learning at the program level. Strategies include the identification of learning outcomes, the means for measuring student learning on those outcomes, and follow-up activities to review and act on assessment data. The purpose of these efforts is to provide information that can be used to improve student learning.

Former High Court justice Ben-Porat dies at 94
07/26/2012 12:02
Miriam Ben-Porat was the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court and the first to serve as state comptroller.

Ben-Porat, who came to British Mandate Palestine in 1936, paved the way for other women to shine in the legal profession.
Born in Vitebsk, Belarus, she grew up in Lithuania and studied law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Because of her brilliant mind, Ben-Porat was admitted into what was essentially a man's world.
In 1948, she went to work at the Justice Ministry and in 1959 was promoted to deputy state attorney. In 1958, Ben-Porat left the State Attorney's Office to become a judge in the Jerusalem District Court, rising to be the court's vice president, and, in 1975, its president.
Her strong motivation to fight corruption was evident from early on when she declared an election for the Jerusalem Municipal Council invalid because certain envelopes had been improperly stamped and could not be counted, yet – realizing the difficulties new elections might incur – she asked the Knesset to validate the previously uncounted votes, as a result of which all envelopes in elections are now opened.
In 1976, Ben-Porat was appointed acting justice in the Supreme Court. In 1977 she rose to become permanent justice, and in 1983 to vice president of the court.
Many of her rulings, both as a district court judge and as a Supreme Court justice, set legal precedents in matters such as inheritance and defamation.
Ben-Porat also ruled that a husband who forces his wife to have sexual relations is to be regarded as a rapist.
In 1988, when she turned 70, Ben-Porat retired from the Supreme Court, and in the same year was appointed state comptroller.
As state comptroller she cracked down on all forms of corruption and had no compunction attacking the government's discriminatory practices against the Arab community.
Ben-Porat was in high demand as a lecturer in Israel and abroad. In 1991, she was awarded the Israel Prize, and in 2004 was named a Distinguished Citizen of Jerusalem. She also received honorary degrees from various universities.
Ben-Porat was among those who believed the lyrics of the national anthem should be altered so that the nation's minorities not feel excluded.
After her final retirement at age 80 she continued to contribute to legal thinking through her lectures and writings.
In a message of condolence to Ben-Porat's family, President Shimon Peres wrote that she had been the cornerstone of the country's legal system and contributed to forming the character of the state.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed deep sorrow, describing her as "a trailblazer, an esteemed Supreme Court justice, a state comptroller who sanctified the values of integrity and transparency, and an Israel Prize laureate." He praised her "modesty, her upholding of principles and her dedication to the state" that he said "are a model for equal opportunity and the supremacy of the rule of law in Israel."
Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman – who had served as an articled clerk to Ben-Porat – called her courageous, dedicated and intrepid, saying she had worked unstintingly to maintain the rule of law while upholding the dignity of the administration and the individual and ensuring the security of the state.
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin credited Ben-Porat with turning critical investigation into the fourth branch of Israel's democratic system; as well as imbuing the status of women with new norms. He was full of admiration for the thorough manner in which she conducted her probes into the political and defense establishments and the fearlessness with which she presented her findings. She was the first to launch an investigation in real time, thereby setting a tradition for her successors, Rivlin noted.
Labor Party leader Shelly Yechimovich also expressed sorrow at Ben-Porat's passing, calling her one of the most active and idealistic personalities in Israeli society, an example worth following.
She noted that in her capacity as state comptroller Ben-Porat had upgraded the level of public standards of accountability and fought against political corruption.
Yechimovich expressed her fervent hope that Israel would be fortunate enough to nurture other people of the stature of Ben-Porat.
Current State Comptroller Yosef Haim Shapira, whose swearing-in ceremony Ben- Porat attended earlier this month, noted that in the 10 years she served in the post, she had transformed that office into an influential institution in the life of the nation and laid new foundations for the state comptroller and the ombudsman for complaints from the public.
Her focus on issues related to power and money, uprightness in the public sector, political appointments, and slush funds, to a large extent set the agenda for the State Comptroller's Office.
In interviews with Israel Radio, former Supreme Court presidents Meir Shamgar and Aharon Barak both spoke of Ben-Porat's clarity of mind, her remarkable memory and her attention to detail.
Long after her retirement from the Supreme Court – which she left when it was still in Jerusalem's Russian Compound – and the completion of her tenure as state comptroller, she continued to visit the current Supreme Court building in Givat Ram almost daily. It was there she did her writing on a variety of legal issues, and it was there that he encountered her only a few days before her demise.
Among the more famous cases in which both Shamgar and Barak were involved together with Ben-Porat was the 1984 scandal in which senior Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agents had killed two captured and shackled terrorists who tried to hijack a bus on route 300 from Tel Aviv to Ashkelon.
The agents were eventually pardoned by president Chaim Herzog and the ensuing controversy led to a new legal principle that authorized the president of the state to preemptively grant a pardon prior to indictment.
The preemptive pardon principle was upheld by Shamgar and Ben-Porat, whereas Barak dissented.
However, professional disagreements did not impinge on private relations, said Barak. Of all the justices who served at the same time as Ben-Porat he believed he had the closest relationship with her. Not only had they both lived in the same apartment building, but, as a child in the Holocaust, Barak spent three years in the Kovno Ghetto where Ben-Porat's family was murdered, and this created a special bond between them.
Ben-Porat's only child Ronit had been in the US for a month, tending to her own daughter, who had given birth there. Ronit Ben-Porat arrived in Israel on Wednesday night and immediately went to see her mother, who was running a fever. They talked about a lot of things as they always did, with no secrets from each other.
They had always been completely involved in each other's lives. When Ronit was about to leave, her mother asked her not to disturb her in the morning because she wanted to have a sound, deep sleep.
She slept so soundly and so deeply, that she no longer woke up.
She was taken to her final resting place at the capital's Givat Shaul Cemetery on Thursday evening.

Research Advisory Service
Research Advisory Service for Cal Undergraduates
Book a 30-minute appointment with a librarian who will help refine and focus research inquiries, identify useful online and print sources, and develop search strategies for humanities and social sciences topics (examples of research topics).
This service is for Cal undergraduates only. Graduate students and faculty should contact the library liaison to their department or program for specialized reference consultations.
Ask a Librarian 24/7 Chat
You can type your question directly into this chat window to chat with a librarian. Your question may be answered by a reference librarian from Berkeley, from another UC campus, or another academic library elsewhere in the US. We share information about our libraries to make sure you get good answers.
If the librarian can't answer you well enough, your question will be referred to a Berkeley librarian for follow-up.
Have fun chatting!
Scheduling a consultation
Some reference questions can't be easily answered over e-mail and I am happy to talk with you in person or over the phone if your question is more complex or if you'd like a more in-depth consultation. Trying to schedule appointments via email is time-consuming. Here are some alternatives:
1. Call me at 510-768-7059
2. Go to my bCal calendar and in the upper right corner choose the WEEK view. Locate a free slot between 9-5, Mon-Fri that works with your schedule. You can propose an appointment in bCal or contact me by email asking me to reserve that slot for you.
Starting February 19, every Wednesday from 1-3 I will also be available to answer your questions in the History Department's office.

Colossal composters on campus
Queen's is the first Canadian university to install industrial-size composters capable of managing most of the organic waste produced on the campus.
"These composters will allow us to divert 95 per cent of the organic food waste on campus from landfills," says Phil Sparks, Sodexo's Resident District Manager of Food Services. "Leonard Hall alone produces four metric tonnes of organic waste a week, so the composters will have a major impact on reducing our carbon footprint."
A year ago, a 100kg composter was installed in Leonard Hall as a pilot project. It reduced the weight of organic waste by 85 per cent in 18 hours, turning it into a soil supplement that's being used on campus. Since then, two new composters were put in to replace the test pilot – one in Leonard Hall, the other in Ban Righ – each with a 300kg capacity and the ability to finish their cycle in 14 hours. The massive machines costing $100,000 each were donated to Queen's by Sodexo.
The composters are part of a two-pronged strategy aimed at reducing and recycling the university's organic waste. Purposely purchasing composters that can't handle all the organic waste provides an opportunity to educate the campus community about food waste.
"We purchased equipment that can handle a significant portion of our organic waste, but not all," adds Mr. Sparks. "Now that we have that in place, we are launching an education program to get students thinking about how much waste they're producing so they can reduce it. Just because something can be recycled doesn't mean we should use more."
Bruce Giffiths, Director of Housing and Hospitality Services agrees.
"Some campuses are simply removing trays from the dining halls so you have to take less food," he says. "We're not interested in forcing choices on our students. We want them to have the power to make their own decisions and we want them to take that knowledge with them when they leave the campus community."

When three of Betti Lidsky's four children were diagnosed with a rare genetic disease that would eventually leave them blind, she knew she had to find a way to help them.
It was 1992 when doctors confirmed the diagnosis — Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) — a degenerative disorder that leaves individuals with severe vision loss, and in many cases, blindness. More than 6 million people in the United States are affected by RP or macular degeneration, another retinal degenerative disease.
Those who suffer from the condition often experience symptoms of night blindness, blurred vision, tunnel vision, difficulty separating light colors from dark and extreme tiredness.
"As parents, we felt that the best way to help them was through research to find the answers," Lidsky said. "To find those treatments and cures."
For the past 21 years, Lidsky, 62, her attorney husband Carlos, 63, and family and friends, have been fundraising to support scientific research that will help find a cure for RP and other retinal degenerative diseases. In 2005, the Lidskys' son Isaac, one of their three children diagnosed with the condition, founded Hope For Vision, a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding research to end blindness.
Hope for Vision's biggest accomplishment came Friday at the University of Miami's Coral Gables campus, where 24 scientists from around the country convened to share their latest research at the first Hope for Vision Science Meeting.
"This meeting is monumental," Lidsky said. "We're blessed. We're lucky. They all said yes. They want to help us. They are very devoted to the work they do. They were willing to come and present and share it."
From 9:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., the scientists took turns sharing their research and findings, with only a one-hour lunch break in between. Several areas of research were discussed, ranging from gene therapy and stem cells to implants, microchips and drug therapy.
Dr. Alex Cohen, Lidsky's son-in-law and Hope For Vision's vice president, said he hopes a cure for blindness can be found. Cohen is an ophthalmologist.
"Everybody here has been working on different treatments," Cohen said. "This research is amazing and it is amazing that you have so many people dedicated to eye research, even for a disease that doesn't affect many people."
Cohen remembers when his brother-in-law Isaac used to drive a Porsche Boxster before he went blind. Now, it's different. Isaac can't drive and he can't see. "It's tough to watch," Cohen said.
The Lidskys' three children who suffer from RP are: Ilana, 40, Daria, 39, Isaac, 34. Their fourth child, Ronit, does not have the condition.
The three can no longer drive. They can no longer see. But, they still work. Ilana, who has four children, has a PhD in clinical psychology from Yale and fundraises for Hope for Vision. Daria, mother of two, graduated from Harvard, received a master's in social work from Columbia and has a law degree from Fordham. She works as a social worker for the Jewish Guild for the Blind in New York. Isaac, father of triplets, graduated from Harvard and Harvard Law, became the first blind Supreme Court clerk and now runs a construction company in Orlando.
All of them are married with children.
"They are married to wonderful people that knew they were going to go blind," Lidsky said. "They met them with vision, but immediately told them what they had. People get diagnosed with a disease like this and they get depressed and they just give up. This gives hope to people."
Although Lidsky and her husband do not suffer from RP, they both carry the recessive gene for it, which Dr. Stephan Zuchnar, chair of the Human Genetics Department at UM, discovered. "For 20 years the Lidsky family tried to find this gene," Zuchnar said. "The gene we thought was so rare is actually the second most important gene in this disease when you are Ashkenazi Jewish."
Zuchnar said that the gene that causes RP in the Lidsky family is a "fundamental gene that you need in every cell of the body." However, doctors don't know what triggers the onset of the disease.
"We don't know why they are good for 20 years and then all of a sudden they are not, but it is quite typical of these genetic diseases," he said. "Genetic research can have real life changing impact on families with genetic disease. Genetics is becoming more and more a part of general medicine."
Hope For Vision has raised millions of dollars and 93 percent of the money is used to fund sight-saving research. The organization only has one full-time employee. The rest of the help comes from volunteers, including friends of the Lidsky family, who have been supporting them since 1992.
"I feel like today we are at the academy awards of science," Lidsky said. "These people are so brilliant and they help humanity. That's a great thing to do every day."
Sara Chikovsky, co-chair of Hope for Vision, knows what it's like to have a child with vision problems.
Her 30-year-old daughter, Arielle, was diagnosed with Usher's Syndrome in college — a combination of hearing loss and RP. She has been wearing a hearing aid since she was 2 and although she is already suffering from vision loss, she has central vision.
"She can't drive, but she can see her face," Chikovsky said. "In her case, they think the central vision will last a long time. She is a lawyer, married to a lawyer and she has two children. She's been skydiving and all."
Chikovsky believes that Hope For Vision's work will benefit many.
"The eyes have a certain lifespan and that could be shorter than the possible lifespan of human beings so what we are doing here is not just for our children, but for all of humanity," she said. "You know, with our support, they can cure blindness for everyone."
Lidsky said her son Isaac used to be OK without being able to see, but since he and his wife have had triplets, he wants to see his children's faces.
"I want to eradicate blindness," Lidsky said. "No more blindness, ever. That's a further goal after this research. There should not be blindness for humanity anymore. The hope is real. It is not if, it is when. We have never been closer."

Building a Birth Support Team
The birth of your child will be one of the most rewarding and challenging moments in life. It is important to surround yourself with people who recognize the magnitude of the event and share your birth philosophy. Select people who will stand up for you and can hold your vision of birth at each step during the process.
We encourage you to identify a birth partner (spouse, partner family member, close friend) and invite them into the birth preparation process and to go through each step together. Your partner will ideally be your primary support person and advocate during labor and birth. The more prepared your partner is to ask questions and make requests on your behalf, the more you'll be set-up for an empowered and healthy birth.
Some women also choose to hire a doula, a labor support professional.Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily. Visit the Provider Network to find labor support professionals. You can also use the links to the left to learn more about some of the national labor support organizations and schools.
As much as you can, surround yourself with love and support while you prepare for birth as well as during the birth itself. As Ina May Gaskin says, "I think most of us would do well to have somebody with us who is comfortable in the energy of birth and who is kind and sweet and not scared. That's probably 90% of what you need right there."
Further reading on this topic:
Have You Thought About Having a Doula at Your Birth?
The journey through birth is unpredictable and stressful, and even well prepared women or couples, when in the midst of intense labor, often find it difficult to apply their knowledge. It helps to have guidance and reassurance from experts, to help you relate the intense physical sensations and emotions of labor to what you already know intellectually. Your nurse, midwife, or doctor will offer some guidance, but may be limited by their clinical duties and the needs of other laboring women in their care. To be sure you will get the kind of help you need in labor, consider having a birth doula.
The Purpose and Power of Pain in Labor
The pain of labor and birth worries most women. No one enjoys pain, and most of us are willing to go to great lengths to avoid it. The pain involved in childbirth is no exception. What women don't usually know is that pain is central to nature's simple, elegant design for labor and birth. Pain is not simply an unfortunate side effect of labor but is an important part of the normal process of labor and birth. Remove the pain by interrupting its flow and progression any place along the way, and you remove the signals that are your guide as you move through labor.
Childbirth Education: Making Informed Decisions
A good childbirth class gives you the information you need to make truly informed decisions, and teaches you ways to advocate for yourself. Today's childbirth education classes help make sense of the vast amount of information you are likely to encounter during your pregnancy. Childbirth education can bring your birth back to the basics and help you let go of fear (really). The end result is a safer, more empowered birth.
Questions to Ask Your Care Provider
Here are some suggested questions to encourage dialogue and help you get a sense of your care provider's approach. It is a good idea to interview at least 2 to 3 providers. It is never too late to change providers if you are not comfortable with the answers you receive.

After one quarter on Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers lead the San Antonio Spurs by a 32-25 margin. Tim Duncan has scored 12 points in the paint, and Tony Parker has already registered six assists.
Kobe Bryant, who is seeing action for the first time since April 6, has five points so far on two-for-four shooting. Andrew Bynum has 11 points, but in all, the Lakers are shooting only 44 percent to the Spurs' 68.2 percent.
The Spurs entered the game with the best record in the Western Conference, but lead the Oklahoma City Thunder by only half a game. The Lakers sit in third, a game ahead of the cross-town rival Clippers. While the Lakers can do no better than hold onto their No. 3-seed, this game offers one more chance for them to play against an elite team with Bryant in the lineup.

SACHSE — Little Tristan's parents waited 16 months to hear the sweet sound of his giggle.
"If he laughs, we both stop whatever we do and run to see him laugh," said Cameron Jannati, Tristan's father. "No matter how bad of a day we're having, if he laughs, it's the greatest day in the world."
That's because doctors predicted Tristan would never have any interaction with the world around him.
One in eight babies is born prematurely, according to the March of Dimes. Thanks to advances in medicine, many go on to lead normal lives.
But many also suffer devastating and lifelong consequences from being born too early.
A few days after coming into the world two months early, weighing only 3 pounds, 14 ounces, Tristan developed a serious brain infection. He was diagnosed with meningitis and later a condition called periventricular leukomalacia, PLM, a type of brain injury that affects infants.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine says PLM involves the death of small areas of brain tissue. The damage creates "holes" in the brain.
The National Institutes of Health estimates about 6 percent of preemies are affected by varying degrees of PLM.
Tristan's parents say they were told most of his brain cells were dead, and that only his brain stem was functional.
"I remember one meeting that we had. They said, 'If ya'll want to, you can just go home and not come back and let nature take its course.' That, to us, is the most appalling thing I've ever heard," Cameron Jannati said.
"I just fell to the floor and my heart just dropped," added Morgan Hansen, Tristan's mother.
"Both of us immediately said, 'There's no way we're going to just leave him here,'" Jannati said.
Many in the medical world that the young couple encountered questioned whether they could handle such a challenge. Instead, they have become their son's fiercest advocates.
Jannati and Hansen put together a video and posted it on YouTube and Facebook.
They are hoping social media will generate leads, along with financial and emotional support.
"If you're religious, could you please say a prayer, maybe?" Jannati asks in the video.
In November, they raised enough money to travel to Louisiana for two months of experimental hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
"Before he would be screaming and would be all upset and hurting," Jannati said. "But now, he's happy."
"Before that, he wouldn't smile or laugh or interact or anything," Hansen added. "It gave him his laugh, and like we love hearing his laugh. It's something we never thought we'd hear."
The couple is hoping to try stem cell treatment and other cutting-edge therapies for brain damage — none of which are covered by insurance or Medicaid.
But these parents say they will never give up searching for a cure for Tristan.
"As long as he's alive, that's all either of us cares about," Jannati said. "I can't imagine going a day without him."

Reid aide says Reid's remark that he made a counteroffer was off the cuff response & that there was no counteroffer. #fiscalcliff—
Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) December 30, 2012
There has been quite a bit of confusion today about the status of fiscal cliff negotiations on Capitol Hill. Earlier today, the National Journal and other news outlets reported that Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, told the press he had made a counter-offer to Republicans.
We now know, however, that Reid did not make any such offer. It was merely an "off the cuff" comment, not to be taken seriously:
Theater of the absurd: Reid says he sent a "counteroffer" to R's, then spox says Reid was joking and that his rhetoric to press was offer—
Daniel Malloy (@ajconwashington) December 30, 2012
Further explaining Reid's misstatement, the Reid spokesman said that Sen. Reid was being "rhetorical." This elicited a bit of pushback from NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Kelly O'Donnell:
Reid spokesman clarifies that Reid has NOT made #fiscalcliff counter-offer to GOP, "he was being rhetorical" Huh?—
Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) December 30, 2012
It's all pretty amusing, except for the part where our taxes go up in a few days.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - A day later, the Green Bay Packers were trying to figure out how they could have shut down the San Francisco 49ers' read-option and still allowed 494 yards of total offense in their 34-28 loss.
While it wasn't the 579 yards they allowed in their playoff loss to the 49ers, it was still a troublesome number because of the way the 49ers did it: By quarterback Colin Kaepernick hurting them through the air.
After rushing for an NFL quarterback record 181 yards and throwing for 263 in the playoff game, Kaepernick had just 22 yards rushing on seven attempts, but completed 27 of 39 passes for a career-best 412 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

By SIHAME EL GUENDOUZ
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Some people who accent their homes with pumpkins, witches and jack-o'-lanterns can make you look twice — all without breaking their budget.
Carol Hockenberger, 48, a mother of four, has been embellishing her house in Peru for this fall holiday for 30 years.
"I began decorating when my mother made me decorate her house when she couldn't anymore; that's when I took a real interest in it," Hockenberger said.
Hockenberger said her passion for Halloween grew when she realized how much her daughters enjoyed the holiday, from dressing up to decorating.
"I use sheets for ghosts, fake spiders, tombstones, scarecrows and pumpkin lights," Hockenberger said. "Inside the house, I use skeletons, a cardboard witch and a black-cat centerpiece."
According to the National Retail Federation, the average American spends about $100 on Halloween, from costumes to candy and greeting cards to decorations. When it comes to money, Hockenberger is against spending more than $20.
"The only thing I buy new every year is pumpkins, and I usually get them from Rulf's Orchard," Hockenberger said.
Like many orchards in the area, Rulf's in Peru offers a variety of items that can be used to prepare a house for Halloween. Pumpkins there are 50 cents per pound or $8 each if they are larger than 16 pounds. Rulf's also sells corn stalks that can add seasonal flair to a home's exterior.
For Mary Provost of Cadyville, holidays represent tradition and family. Decorating for Halloween is a yearly custom she has been practicing for more than three decades.
"My mother was a housewife and always took pride in decorating for every holiday, especially Halloween," Provost said.
For the holiday season, it isn't necessary to spend much money on decorations. Provost improvises with simple decors from Walmart, Kmart and the Dollar Tree.
"I like to use a lot of the same decorations every year, but in different ways," Provost said.
"My favorite part is decorating with my family. We use a witch for the front door, stickers on the windows and pumpkins with smiley faces on them," Provost said.
Hanging plastic pumpkins from a 20-foot tree is no easy task; however, Ann-Marie LeVigne, 73, and her husband, Jerry LaVigne, 74, of Plattsburgh said they enjoy decorating together as a couple.
"Being an ex-kindergarten teacher, I feel like I have to decorate, but Jerry definitely helps me a lot," Mrs. LeVigne said.
She offers helpful tips from her own experience for Halloween fanatics on a budget.
"Basically, I look for sales; I usually go to Lowes, TJ Maxx and Michael's," Mrs. LaVigne said. "I like to shop after the holiday and use the decorations the next year if I can find them."
▶ Re-use household goods for decorations. Sheets can become ghosts; painted cardboard can become tombstones.
▶ Shop after the holidays and look for sales.
▶ Use coupons and mail-in rebates.
▶ Look for decorations at yard sales, thrift shops and at www.freecycle.org.
▶ Be creative: With a little ingenuity, shredded black plastic crafted onto a bent coat hanger can become a Halloween wreath; empty milk jugs can be hung together to create a skeleton.

win or lose...i have to give this man his props. apparently he didn't know about the catchweight. his promoter asked for it...and ggg's camp agreed to it. rosado said it wasn't necessary and basically took a page from the old school and said he'd fight ggg at his weight out of respect for boxing and the champion!!! plus...he didn't want any excuses about the 2lbs "when he wins." man i love this kids' confidence!!!!
i cannot wait for this fight. he's got me second guessing my initial prediction with this move. reading the article on the front page...i still felt they're making a mistake. it's apparent to me they really don't know who ggg is...and his trainer said they only started viewing tape of him since the fight was signed. i think they're biting off way more than this kid can chew. maybe they see something i don't? in any case...this kid just showed his balls to the world with this move. good for him! more fighters should take note.
on the flip side...u don't hear ggg talking about 'who is gabriel rosado?' or any bullshit like...'this kid isn't worthy...' or 'i wanna fight the best in the division, blah,blah,blah.' i hope ppl are taking note. this is how it's done.

While Im happy for his stance, I think this is a huge opportunity passed up. That said if this SOB pulls this off, he may become a new favorite fighter to watch lol. Well maybe not that serious but I will pay a lot more attn to him.

Six arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a Hormel plant in Fremont Wednesday has the ACLU of Nebraska suspicious.
That's because just a day earlier, Fremont voted to keep an ordinance from 2010 that prohibits landlords from renting to people who are in the country illegally.
The majority of citizens in Fremont are in favor of stronger enforcement on illegal immigration.
"The timing is so terrible, that it does send a message to a community that's already receiving a very divisive, very discriminatory comments coming," says Amy Miller, the Legal Director for ACLU Nebraska.
She says Fremont is setting a bad example for the state, by sending a message to the large Latino community there, that they don't belong.
Authorities say the six employees who were arrested from this Hormel plant were taken into custody on identity theft charges, not immigration violation.
But Miller says, it's often one in the same.
"Immigration violations often include identity theft because workers who do not have proper identification will use a fake name."
The names of the employees have not been released, as they've yet to be indicted by a grand jury.
"People who choose to work without appropriate documentation are breaking the law. And the Hormel plant and the ICE agents do need to work together, trying to make sure that's not happening."
But Miller says there's a way to do it, without alienating a community.
I reached out to ICE, they didn't get back to me. However, Hormel responded with a statement saying
"On Wednesday, six employees were arrested on criminal charges related to
identity theft. When federal officials discover examples of alleged crimes
such as these, the company will cooperate with their investigations."

Volunteers answer call to help Clacton charities

CVST chairman Brenda Ellis said: "The volunteer recruitment day was a great success with each of the organisations represented signing up an average of six new volunteers.

The volunteer roles available range from befriending and support work to administration.

Had a chance to attend a show/plow day near Tarboro, NC yesterday. This is the second year for this event, held on the Eddie Dail farm.
I figured folks would like this spreader.....
Nice yellow and white with a fast hitch plow
Nice Cub with a HV in the background
Peanut thresher. The host had a bunch of peanuts stacked the "old timey" way. They were threshing the stacks at the show. Didn't get a pic but they were also demonstrating a hay press baling the peanut tops. The hay was pretty and green.
Nice Super AV. Heart skipped a beat when I saw the big steering wheel, thinking it might be a Super AV-1, but someone added that later.
Me and "Old Ugly," the Super A I bought from Billy Clay, turning two furrows…..
Probably the "star" of the event. I think it's an '80 model IH 3588 2+2. This tractor is owned by Mr. Bill Jennings, plowman extraordinaire! He was pulling 8 bottoms plowing deep enough you could turn a Cub over if you dropped a wheel in the furrow. Notice the seagulls in the background. They were THICK in the field, eating goodies the plows were turning up.
There were lots of other colors but seemed like the IH's were the only ones getting dirty....

Anyone who has tried to buy property in Palo Alto within the last decade or two knows when a property become available you must move very quickly. The Palo Alto Housing Corporation is no exception and I applaud their quick action in securing the property.
Now we are in the middle of a debate of exactly what the project will look like with some neighbors saying don't build it but that does not mean it should not be built or that it will cause the problems they claim it will.
This article seems to imply the city should not spend any money on this until the plans are approved by the planning commission but if we did business that way noone would ever sell land to the city, it would take far to long.
Suppose the city decides that this is not a good project and will not get built - does anyone believe we will have any problem selling the land - for a profit?
How else does anyone propose the Palo Alto Housing Corporation acquire land besides buying it then proposing a development?

I recommend the City Council come to Maybell Street between 8 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. and observe the traffic going up Maybell for a better understanding of the neighborhood residents' concerns. Do this before school closes.

The City would not be in this mess if they hadn't been so insistent on removing two lanes of traffic on the Charleston/Arastradero corridor. Of course kids going to Gunn on their bicycles and cars heading West have moved over to Maybell.
Open your eyes Transportation Department, this was a dumb move, it simply moved traffic from a road designated arterial to a residential corridor. Unfortunately, this is happening in other neighborhoods around Palo Alto.
Give up on your project on Maybell until you get the traffic off there and back onto Arastradero.

When you think of Minneapolis, is it church bells and cherries, or strip clubs and cosmetic surgery?
A real estate blog called Movoto put together a list of the Most Sinful Cities in America. Minneapolis ranked No. 3, ahead of the original Sin City, Las Vegas.
To create the rankings, the blog looked at Christianity's seven deadly sins and, with a little creative license, adapted them to "modern city living."
LUST: Strip clubs per capita
PRIDE: Cosmetic surgeons per capita
WRATH: Violent crime per year
ENVY: Thefts per year
GREED: Percentage of disposable income given (or not given) to charity
GLUTTONY: Obesity
SLOTH: Percentage of physically inactive residents
Don't worry, another list showed the Twin Cities was just ranked the healthiest metro in the country. So, it seems we have a little bit of naughty with our Minnesota nice.
