Andreas Karafyllis, a former software developer who returned to Greece from Germany in 2006 to start a milk farm, pets a calf in Larissa, central Greece June 27, 2014. Grassroots movements to cut out middlemen have been on the increase since Greece's debt crisis exposed the country's bureaucratic system which stifles innovation and encourages corruption. One of the most successful is dairy cooperative Thesgala or "Want Milk?" based in Larissa, where the town's new milk vending machines, have, on a small scale, solved a problem Greece's leaders and their international backers have tried and failed to tackle by supporting farmers while undercutting prices that have defied economic logic to remain some of the highest in the European Union. ThesGala pays farmers 45 cents a litre, giving small dairy farmers like Karfyllis a more stable and lucrative income from his 120 cows and 80 small calves. Unlike other ad-hoc farm movements, the cooperative publishes yearly financial statements and is taxed beforehand on milk delivered, meaning it does not contribute to Greece's vibrant black market economy.

In light of recent events on campus, the UNM Dean of Students Office will be hosting their spring Campus Safety Walk a little earlier this semester on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. Those interested in participating should report to the SUB Ballroom C at 6:30 p.m. for instructions.
Participants will walk around campus in teams identifying any issues with campus lighting, emergency phones, landscape hazards and any other safety concerns they think need to be addressed. Evaluating the campus helps the appropriate offices address safety concerns that will help make the campus safer for the UNM community.
Interim Dean of Students, Dr. Kim Kloeppel says that these safety walks are a good way to address concerns and also serve as a reminder to students, staff and visitors to be aware of their surroundings on campus.
The campus walks are usually held twice a year in the spring and fall semesters. For more information on the safety walk please contact Rob Burford in the Dean of Students Office at 277-3361 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on UNM campus safety, please visit http://campussafety.unm.edu/.

Timbers extend FC Dallas winless run with 2-1 win
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)—Coach Caleb Porter pumped his fist at Portland's fans following the Timbers' victory over FC Dallas: The push for the playoffs is on.
Darlington Nagbe scored the go-ahead goal in the 33rd minute and the Timbers held on to defeat FC Dallas 2-1 Saturday night. Ryan Johnson also scored for Portland, which moved into third place in Major League Soccer's Western Conference, a point ahead of the Los Angeles Galaxy and two in front of Vancouver.
"We want to start sprinting now," Porter said. "And I think we showed how hungry we are for the playoffs tonight."
Dallas is winless in a season-high 11 straight matches. The team's longest drought came last season when they went 13 straight games without a victory.
The loss dropped FC Dallas (8-7-9) into seventh place in the Western Conference. Coach Schellas Hyndman said he feels his team is close to breaking out of its funk.
"With the artificial surface and the fans, this is a tough place to play," he said of Portland's Jeld-Wen Field.
The victory snapped a three-match winless streak for Portland (9-3-11), which had last weekend off after playing to a 1-1 draw with Cascadia Cup rival Vancouver on Aug. 3.
"When you get to this point in the season, it's all about getting points on the board," Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts said. "It doesn't matter how you do it."
Both teams were struggling with injuries.
FC Dallas right back Zach Loyd was out with a knee strain and central midfielder A.J. Jacobson sat with a sore hamstring. They were injured in last weekend's 3-3 draw against the Galaxy.
The Timbers were without Will Johnson, who has six goals and three assists this season, because of a right shoulder injury. Forward Frederic Piquionne also sat out because of an ankle injury he sustained in the Vancouver match. Midfielder Jack Jewsbury, also nursing a sore ankle, was listed as a reserve.
The Timbers had a good chance in the 21st minute on Diego Valeri's fast-break to the top of the box, but he stumbled on the kick, which went wide. But Ryan Johnson scored on a header off Valeri's well-placed corner kick in the 26th minute to give Portland the lead.
Johnson leads the Timbers with eight goals.
Only two minutes later, Mauro Diaz scored his first goal for FC Dallas to even it. Ricketts slid to the turf out in front of the goal, allowing Diaz to take advantage.
Diaz, who is from Argentina, was acquired by FC Dallas last month and had appeared in just one match for the team as a reserve before his start Saturday night.
Nagbe's goal, off an assist by Valeri, gave the Timbers the lead back—for good, as it turned out.
Valeri has had an assist on each of Portland's last six goals, and is the first Timbers player with 10 assists since the team joined MLS in 2011.
"We are a very good attacking team and I try to help," Valeri said. "I try to do my role."
The match featured a flurry of yellow cards in the second half, with Portland's Valeri and Ben Zemanski and Dallas' Jackson and Blas Perez each called for a yellow in the span of less than five minutes.
"I don't know if it was getting more physical, I just think the yellow cards started coming out," Hyndman said.

Spatial Growth Regressions: Model Specification, Estimation and Interpretation
AbstractAbstract We attempt to clarify a number of points regarding use of spatial regression models for regional growth analysis. We show that as in the case of non-spatial growth regressions, the effect of initial regional income levels wears off over time. Unlike the non-spatial case, long-run regional income levels depend on: own region as well as neighbouring region characteristics, the spatial connectivity structure of the regions, and the strength of spatial dependence. Given this, the search for regional characteristics that exert important influences on income levels or growth rates should take place using spatial econometric methods that account for spatial dependence as well as own and neighbouring region characteristics, the type of spatial regression model specification, and weight matrix. The framework adopted here illustrates a unified approach for dealing with these issues.

But if I knew how to manage my portfolio safer and smarter than most hedge fund managers, I could realistically grow my wealth.
Employment data and bond volatility
One of the most important recurring events for the bond market occurs at 8:30 EST on the first Friday of every month. This is when the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (or BLS) reports the key employment data for the previous month in its Employment Situation Summary report.
The ADP National Employment report is another jobs report, which sets the stage for the BLS report by reporting its figures on Wednesday in the same week that the BLS report is scheduled to come out on Friday. We cover the importance of employment indicators, job reports, and the latest ADP report and analysis in the Market Realist series Why should investors follow the ADP jobs report?
Included in the BLS Employment Situation Summary report is information related to all aspects of the job market, including the unemployment rate, the absolute number of jobs added or lost, total hours worked, average hourly wages, and how the jobs picture for various sectors has fared (such as governments, restaurants, or manufacturing). Of all the economic reports released each month, the jobs report has the largest impact on the bond market.
The impact of a positive jobs report
Since jobs are so important to the economic outlook, investors take a positive report as a sign that growth is on track. This tends to depress bond prices for two reasons.
The chart above shows the price reaction of major bond market exchange-traded funds (or ETFs). The iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Fund (SHY) and the iShares Barclays 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) are popular ETFs in the Treasury universe, while the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (LQD), with the bonds of companies like Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Goldman Sachs (GS) in its portfolio, is popular in the corporate bond ETF segment.
The impact of a negative jobs report
A weaker jobs report tends to be positive for the bond market for the opposite reasons of what we just discussed. It makes the Fed more likely to cut rates than to increase rates, and it reduces the odds of inflation. Both are positive for the performance of U.S. Treasuries and other rate-sensitive investments.
The next part of the series discusses the two main components of the BLS Employment Situation Summary Report.

South Dakota Department Billed For Blaze
The costs have been calculated for an April fire that burned up to 1,500 acres near Tacoma Park and took six Brown County fire departments about a day and a half to extinguish.
"Really, this can't continue. We can't send out $100,000 fire trucks and spend 24 hours (fighting a fire) and get 300 bucks."
He recommends that all parties who stand to lose from fires - the insurance companies, policy owners and firefighters - sit down and try to work out a solution that will benefit all.
If necessary, legislative action could be taken, but Dennert said this would be a last resort.

Gold foil stamping printing embossing one off

Posted October 9, 2012 at 2:27PM
OK. This is a very long-shot.
Some friends of mine run a small business, a pub, actually, and I want to give them a unique Christmas Present.
I need to find someone, or a firm, that can supply a one-off, gold printed, embossed on leather A5 filofax binder. I am happy to provide the binder and cost is not a consideration.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be most grateful for a link, an email address or anything which would assist.

These people will do it for you but you'll need to supply the Filofax binder and you'll have to wait a week before contacting them. They're in Edgware, Middlesex.

I think you'll find that a set up charge of around £30-40 would be normal for gold blocking but try Gold Blocking to see if there's someone near to you.
Alternatively about 7mins 30 secs into this video might give you some ideas.

See Mike G Get Carjacked by Left Brain in the Internet's 'Lincoln' Video
Mike G isn't the showiest member of Odd Future, but it's the quiet ones you've got to keep an eye on. With a low-key but workmanlike flow, his verses creep on the listener — favorites that reveal themselves upon the fourth listen, often packed with clever quotables. One of his more memorable cameos was on "Lincoln," an addition to Purple Naked Ladies, the debut LP from OFWGKTA spin-off, the Internet (Syd the Kid and Matt Martians). The man brings his typical swagger to the playful soul groove, bragging about his stable of "pretty bitches with gold grills just to roll my joints."MellowHype member Left Brain lends a production assist and appears in the brand new video for the track.
Hear the Cloak Ox Cut to the Chase on Pinwheeling 'Pigeon Lung'
The Cloak Ox is a Minneapolitan supergroup of sorts — four fellas who've played together and apart in Andrew Bird's band, Alan Moore's Crook&Flail project, WHY?, and Hymies Basement to name a few. Also, they were all in Fog (signed to Ninja Tune in the early aughts), and drummer Martin Dosh is, well, Dosh, the loop-happy one-man band. Pedigrees aside, main man Andrew Broder and his wrecking crew are forging a new path with their most rockist project yet, drawing from inspirations as diverse-yet-sensible as Tom Petty and Funkadelic.Their debut album, Shoot the Dog, is out on Totally Gross National Product September 17 and features appearances by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Nona Marie Invie from Dark Dark Dark, and others.
Hear Dr. Dog Swing and Sway in Powerful New Soul Song 'The Truth'
Dr. Dog will return on October 1 with B-Room, the Philadelphia band's eighth album and the first to wholly embrace their more soulful leanings. In aiming to follow up last year's Be the Void, also released on Anti-, the sextet started with a brand new studio. Leaving their beloved Meth Beach behind, the gang set to building a fresh space in an old silversmith mill themselves, and when they were done, they began to work.They'd more or less spent what would have been their demo period on construction, and instead of slowly developing ideas brought in by bassist-singer Toby Leaman and guitarist-singer Scott McMicken, Dr.
No Really, Don't Talk to Kanye (He Might Hurt You)
Kanye West had a physical confrontation with a paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport this afternoon, according to TMZ. Photos show the Yeezus auteur with his hands on the photographer — it looks as if he's attempting to grab the man's camera, although an unidentified eyewitness claims that West threw punches. Apparently whatever took place was enough to justify the arrival of paramedics, who can be seen tending to the shooter in another photo.According to TMZ's source, Ye was leaving an LAX terminal (apparently returning from the same trip that resulted in the epic "Don't Talk to Kanye" rant) when he was descended upon by around five photographers. Apparently the one who got the worst of West kept needling him with aggressive questions (now revealed to be inspired by said "Don't Talk to Kanye" rant), which inspired the musician to go H.A.M.
Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa Meet Mick Jenkins at the 'Cross Roads'
Chicago's rap scene has been particularly generous to us lately. Sure there's Chief Keef, an endless font of headline fodder if nothing else, but the real excitement has been coming from the Save Money crew and their friends. Chance the Rapper made SPIN's Hottest MCs list and delivered one of the most exciting mixtapes of the year thus far, Acid Rap. Former Kids These Days song-rhymer Vic Mensa blessed us with "Orange Soda" and "Hollywood LA." Now we have the deep-voiced Mick Jenkins with his slightly Southern flow, who wrangles both of the aforementioned spitters to accompany him on "Cross Roads." OnGaud provides the loping, soulful production — a solid foundation for the loosely listing bars of Chance (who's busy dropping "multi-entendres") and the stylish stutter verse provided by Vic. Get into it:
Music Sales at Mid-Year: Vinyl, Streams, and the Digital Album Are Doing Just Fine
The numbers-crunching Nielsen folks have released their mid-year report on the status of the music industry and, as is to be expected, the results are mixed. First the bad news: overall album and song sales for the first six months of 2013 are down 4.6 percent compared with the opening half of 2012. Much of this is likely due to the waning days of the CD, whose sales dip a considerable 14.2 percent by comparison. Oddly, digital track sales have slid a little: 2.3 percent.Onto the good. Digital album sales are up 6.3 percent, which is more or less as expected. They also now comprise 43 percent of overall full-length sales (up from 38 percent at this time last year), which points to the possibility of growth once the CD bottoms out.
Freddie Gibbs Goes (Slightly) Less Gangster for Madlib Team-Up 'City'
When last we heard from Freddie Gibbs, the Gary, Indiana-bred MC was back in his hometown proudly trapping with a gang of local goons (via "Lay It Down"). And before that, he'd announced his forthcoming ESGN album with a bleak-banging slab of rap nastiness dubbed "One Eight Seven." But Gangster Gibbs has got a (slightly) softer side too, and it comes out on "City," his new collaboration with Stones Throw beat guru Madlib (their second, after the "Shame" single and video) and Los Angeles utilities man Karriem Riggins.The latter nabs the first verse, a Mr. Lif-recalling cypher that dances around atop Lib's Afrobeat-sourced groove. Gibbs is up next, fast-rhyming his way to tongue-twisting gems celebrating a life lived "like Tony Soprano." Riggins improvs a couple of lines about being "live, on tour in India," which may be apocryphal but it does sound glamorous in a weird way.
Nicolas Jaar's New 'Other People' Label Includes the Same People From His Old Label
House music upsetter Nicolas Jaar is launching a brand new label — sort of. According to RA, Other People will kick things off with a showcase compilation dubbed Trust on September 2, but the lineup of artists amassed for the set look suspiciously similar to those who've been releasing music through the American-Chilean producer's Clown & Sunset imprint. Presumably, the latter label is being folded, though it's unclear as to why Jaar felt the need to rebrand. Nikita Quasim is still in the mix, alongside his Darkside compatriot Dave Harrington, Acid Pauli (who we'd like to imagine is Pauly P on LSD), Valentin Stip, Will Epstein, and, of course, Jaar. The man caught a little extra crossover shine this year thanks to a Record Store Day rarity compiling his remixes of songs by Grizzly Bear and Brian Eno.
Ebony Bones Is an Art-Punk Soul Warrior on 'Neu World Blues'
As a child, Ebony Thomas was a classmate of Amy Winehouse's at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London. Each wound up prodigious and dramatic, but the young woman who came to take "Bones" as her surname might have turned out a wee bit freakier. It's no wonder that the singer-songwriter-producer spent a season or two opening for Cee Lo Green abroad — her hybridized approach to soul, punk, pop, and strange is exactly the kind of thing the Goodie Mobster aims for without instinctively understanding how to hit the mark. Ebony Bones is arty without qualification, odd without apology.On her new album Behold, a Pale Horse, she never panders to her audience and they're better for it.
Neko Case Plays Disastrous 'Dressing Room Session' for Funny or Die
These days it seems like everyone's got their own session series. NPR films shows at their Tiny Desk, the A.V. Club goes Undercover, Yours Truly makes Songs From Scratch, and La Blogothèque is busy beautifully filling Empty Space. It only seems right that Funny or Die should get in on the highly clickable fun. Enter the Dressing Room Sessions, a (totally not actually) regular series that kicked off with a clutch cameo from Neko Case. The erstwhile New Pornographer graces FoD with the single "Man" from her forthcoming album titled (totally, actually) The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight. The Harder I Fight, the More I Love You. The thing is, the show is meant to go down inside of a literal dressing room, which doesn't leave much room for maneuvering. We won't spoil the performance by describing too much in advance.

Drummer Dick Weller has made a bit of a splash lately with his latest record, "Tunes Remembered," featuring an organ-led trio performing pop classics in a jazz format.
"The idea behind the recording was to perform familiar pop tunes from the '60s and '70s, but put a jazz spin on them," Weller said. "So we have tunes like 'Rainy Days and Mondays,' 'Wichita Lineman' and 'Up, Up and Away' on the CD."
At the next Jazz at The Merc series concert, Weller will perform select tunes from the CD with tenor sax player John Tendy and organist Ty Bailie.
"It's organ trio jazz, but with a modern spin," Weller said. "We don't play just straight ahead (jazz), but throw in some New Orleans-based styles on the Monkees tune, 'I'm A Believer,' or the groove from 'Poinciana' as performed by Ahmad Jamal on 'Wichita Lineman.'"
Weller's excitement for the unique approach to the music is evident.
"The whole point is to have fun with the performance, and hope that translates into the audience having a good time listening or dancing along to the performance, as well as recognizing the songs we're playing," he said.
Weller said the group feeds off the audience.
"We like to interact with the audience, and make the performance enjoyable," he said. "We're really just going for a feel-good thing, make everyone smile and have a good time. If we can do that, our music is making the right impression."
And who knows, maybe the performance will wind up on a future Weller CD release.
"(Tendy) is also a recording engineer, so he is planning on throwing up a few mics so we will be recording the performance as well," Weller said.
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 17
WHERE: The Merc, Old Town Temecula Community Theater, 42051 Main St., Temecula

Beats By Dr. Dre Studio 2.0 Over Ear Headphones with Control Talk - Matte Black.
Lighter, Stronger and more Comfortable. When we re-imagined our legendary headphone, we designed it like a beautiful sports car and made disciplined choices. We streamlined the New Beats Studio with fast curves, smooth surfaces, and no visible screws. We shaved 13% off the original weight and gave it a lighter, stronger, and more comfortable headband. We created softer ear cups and an ergonomic bellow to create a flexible, custom fit for every head shape, so you can keep your music all to yourself.
What Batteries? Dead batteries can kill your vibe in a flash. The New Beats Studio fixes this with a 20 hour rechargeable battery. To prevent wasting energy, the Auto On/Off feature turns off when you unplug, and there is a visible Battery Fuel Gauge. The New Studio can be charged via micro USB almost anywhere.
Dual-mode Adaptive Noise Cancelling. When you're listening to music, ANC automatically strikes a balance between your music and the world outside. If you only want to use the headphone to cancel external noise, ANC only mode automatically increases the level of noise cancellation, for a quieter world, Feel Your Music.
The Beats Acoustic Engine. Makes your listening experience intimate, personal, and real. Our signature DSP software is designed to generate the emotional experience that the music industry's greatest producers want you to feel. This is how music would sound if the artist could play it back for you in person.

KidzPLAY Blue Stereo Gaming Headset for PS3.

We have the Masonite that was part of the class action and only really need to replace about 5 or 6 planks. We got scammed by a bogus construction company last October (took our 1/2 deposit and tore down the chimney and disappeared), so the budget has been cut drastically. (We were supposed to have the entire house resided with Hardiplank.)
I really only need 5 or 6 pieces to replace the ones that actually show rot. The rest of the house is really fine. I guess they were sealed properly and covered by the soffits.
My problem is finding the stuff. I've checked several lumber yards here (north of Houston, TX) but they all tell me it's all gone.
2 of them had one type of Masonite, but it didn't match mine. I have the 3 beveled (looking) 10" wide x 15 or 16' planks to do the repairs for now.
Does ANYONE know of any location that still has any of this in stock? I've done searches on google, yahoo, msn, etc., but get nothing.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
Also, anybody have any experience in small claims with con artists? We found where the guy lives who owned this bogus company, but he claims he doesn't have any money...and we have an 'open ended contract' so he feels I don't have a leg to stand on in court. I've learned my lesson.....don't trust anyone!

SkyVerge creates a number of extensions that were crucial to setting up a recent WooCommerce shopping cart. When we ran into an issue with out cart, Justin was able to create some custom code for us and was always extremely responsive and helpful. It's not very often that I'm inspired to offer up a testimonial, but I was very impressed with his level of service and knowledge.

Ha! This process has renewed my faith in solid developers willing to patiently work through the bugs with their customers (especially since I'm sure some of this was a pain in the butt)…I am thrilled to pieces with the service received. :)

It's rare to have capable developers who take pride in their work. I needed some custom coding to get my Gravity Forms fields exported to XML from WooCommerce and Max delivered. We are going live and I would have been lost in the PHP sea for nights to come if I hadn't chosen SkyVerge.

It's been four days since a now-former PayPal executive started his Jazz Fest-induced boozy Twitter rant, and he's not done yet.
Rakesh Agrawal, who was only recently hired as the director of strategy for PayPal, went on a tirade over the weekend, tweeting dozens of misspelled insults at fellow tech colleagues, starting late Friday — but promised Monday to explain his odd behavior.
There is a logical explanation to the last two nights. It will shock and enlighten you. @emilychangtv sit down?—
Rakesh Agrawal (@rakeshlobster) May 05, 2014
It will all make sense. I promise.—
Rakesh Agrawal (@rakeshlobster) May 05, 2014
In a Jerry McGuire-type exit, Agrawal appears to be starting his own company under the name Redesign Mobile, a "#differentkindofcompany."
Current redesignmobile.com employee count: 3—
Rakesh Agrawal (@rakeshlobster) May 04, 2014
That includes himself, his assistant and her young daughter.
Agrawal clearly isn't afraid to call people out, posting expletive-ridden tweets to many Silicone Valley bigwigs including Christina Smedley — the vice president of communications at PayPal, whom he called a "useless middle manager" and a "piece of s—t."
But he later deleted many of the tweets and tried to explain.
Oh man I got to get some sleep. I should have stopped here.—
Rakesh Agrawal (@rakeshlobster) May 05, 2014
PayPal confirmed via Twitter on Saturday that Agrawal is no longer with the company.
Rakesh Agrawal is no longer with the company. Treat everyone with respect. No excuses. PayPal has zero tolerance.—
(@PayPal) May 03, 2014
But Agrawal fired back early Saturday, saying his former employer's tweet was "factually correct but utterly misleading," as he claims to have resigned before his rant began. He posted a picture of his resignation letter just to prove it.
His sometimes-cryptic tweets have mentioned his lack of sleep, likely from his time spent at New Orleans Jazz Fest this past weekend.

Kansas state Rep. Greg Smith thinks schoolteachers should accept pay cuts to "help the students," as he put it in a recent e-mail. Smith was responding to an e-mail from a teacher and coach at Shawnee Mission East High School, who complained about state budget cuts.
Smith, who also teaches in the Shawnee Mission School District, is knowledgeable about public education. But his 16-point answer to his colleague omitted one crucial piece of information: Teachers in Kansas are already among the lowest-paid in the United States.
Smith's "take one for the team" message coincides with the arrival of an update on teacher pay by the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank that focuses on the economic condition of low- and middle-income Americans. The study indicates that Kansas teachers on average make $804 a week, bettering educators only in Oklahoma and Mississippi.
In February, Smith, a Republican, voted to reduce funds for schools by $75 per student. Districts are figuring out ways to manage the reduction in state aid. Earlier this month, Shawnee Mission school superintendent Gene Johnson recommended $8.3 million in budget cuts and fee increases. Johnson's announcement led Chip Ufford, a wrestling and football coach at East, to reach out to Smith. In an e-mail, Ufford asked Smith if he had participated in extracurricular activity when he was in school.
Smith said yes, he did, and went on to defend his decision making. He noted that 53 cents of every tax dollar the state brings in goes to K-12 education. He criticized the school-funding formula, which takes tax dollars raised in Johnson County and spends them elsewhere, calling it a "travesty." He said he offered an amendment to raise the ceiling on the amount of money that school districts can raise to supplement state aid.
All good points, but Smith does lean a little hard on the jerk button. He mentions twice that he's not receiving wages or benefits from the school district this semester. Of course, he's not teaching, either. He's in Topeka, receiving the salary and benefits that come with being a state lawmaker.
Smith closes his e-mail by asking Ufford:
Are you willing to put some skin in the game like I have? Are you willing to take a pay cut to help the students? Or are you an NEA neophyte that believes as the NEA president does when he said, "I'll care about students when they are old enough to vote?"Smith was apparently attempting to quote Albert Shanker, who is neither alive nor the president of the National Education Association. Shanker ran the American Federation of Teachers, a different union. Here's the quote that's attributed to him, which is not as cold as the one Smith presented:
When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.At his death in 1997, Shanker was remembered for being obstinate as well as a "champion of rigorous educational standards," as The New York Times wrote in his obituary. Shanker, the Times said, "called for a national competency test for teachers, pay increments tied to teacher quality and more rigorous requirements for high school graduation."
Sheesh, sounds almost like a Republican.

Mid-Market car restrictions
There's been an on-going traffic experiment which started Sept. 29 as a six-week test with forced right turns for eastbound cars at Sixth and Eighth streets. But in November, SFMTA extended the test indefinitely and expanded the private car ban west to 10th Street. Merchants complain that it has hurt business by making it more difficult to get to mid-Market - while bicyclists really like it.
Personally, I like the idea even though as a driver, I'm even more annoyed going down Market St. Market St. is impossible to navigate in the first place, and maybe this can create a space for the pedestrian community to grow.
Let's Keep Mid-Market for Pedestrians, MUNI and Bicyclists
I used to work at Market btwn 5th and 6th. As a driver, I would avoid Market at all costs - it was always congested and the traffic flowed poorly. As a biker, I fell on Market due to traffic and the MUNI tracks. As a pedestrian, walking Market from 6th to 8th is actually a nice walk which would be made better if we didn't have so many boarded up buildings. SF took a bold step to give something a try. What has happened is San Franciscans have started taking over Market btwn 6th and 8th. The street is much more plesant, less chaotic and will only be made better as more economic development occurs in the Mid-Market area. We should continue to keep Market closed to cars and open to pedestrians, bikers and MUNI. We may even want to keep going further down and see how it goes.

MT. VERNON — No recommendations were made by the Courthouse Renovations Committee on Thursday on how to proceed with several cost estimate proposals for courthouse rehabilitation.
After much discussion on the issue, County Chairman Robert White encouraged the committee to not make a recommendation.
"We'll type up the points made tonight and and use those to come up with ideas before our full board meeting," White said. "At the end of the day, we'll still have issues so I would suggest sitting down and reaching out to M360, perhaps scheduling a workshop to ask them questions on ways to attack this. That way when we do make a decision, it will be based on facts."
Committee members, which include Chairman Randy Edwards, Tommy Hayes and James Malone all agreed this is the best plan moving forward.
"Since 1983, we have been consumed with (two) jails. In the meantime, we've had to address preventative maintenance to keep the courthouse relevant," White continued. "The easy answer is to kick it to the next board. We need a course of action. If the one-quarter cent sales tax for the next 10 years is what we put on the referendum you better be prepared to answer to the voters on why this should be done. If we're going to present something to the voters, it better be good."
"We did what we thought was right and presented it to the public," said Hayes.
"I think we all agree the courthouse needs work," offered Edwards. "People at the town hall meetings were reluctant to put on a real estate tax, and a lot of them recognized the need, but weren't interested in funding (rehabilitations) at all. Nobody wants to pay anymore taxes, but I believe the courthouse courthouse needs to be maintained by law."
