BE Graduate Studies in Applied Biosciences
The Applied Biosciences Track is intended for students seeking Ph.D. thesis research involving the application of quantitative scientific approaches to the solution of biological and biomedical problems. Following completion of the required core subjects in the Applied Biosciences Track, students may focus or specialize in several areas, including molecular and systems toxicology and pharmacology and molecular and systems bacterial pathogenesis.
Students in the Applied Biosciences Track are eligible for support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Training Grant in Toxicology and are often involved with research projects in several Centers and Divisions affiliated with BE, including the Center for Environmental Health Sciences, the Division of Comparative Medicine, the Biotechnology Process Engineering Center, the Biomedical Engineering Center, and the BioImaging Center.
Research Specializations
Fellowships & Grants
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) require:
A written exam is taken at the end of the first year (following completion of the core curriculum below), and an oral Qualifying Exam is taken during the second year. The oral exam serves as Thesis proposal. Following successful completion of the Exams, the student is expected to present to a Thesis Committee a minimum of two research Progress Reports before defending the Thesis. Completion of the doctoral requirements typically requires 5-6 years from date of entry.
Requirements for the Applied Biosciences Ph.D. Track
Entrance Requirements
Physics (2 semesters); Calculus (2 semesters); Organic Chemistry (2 semesters); Biochemistry (1 semester); Physical Chemistry or Biophysics or Engineering (1 semester); Cellular or Molecular Biology or Genetics (1 semester)
Required Core Subjects
During their first year, students engage in a unified curriculum of three core subjects, in which quantitative basic science is applied to problems in biology and human disease:
Elective Subjects
To enhance depth and breadth, the core subjects are supplemented by electives in science and /or engineering. Four elective subjects are chosen by the student in consultation with the advisor. The goal is to find MIT subjects that best fit a student's thesis research project and career objectives. Elective subject in three categories are acceptable upon approval by advisor and, for the subjects not listed here, the BE Graduate Program Chair:
1. Biological Engineering — one subject
To provide breadth in biological engineering, at least one graduate-level course beyond the Core Classes must be selected from the following group:
2. Engineering/Science — one subject
To provide breadth in engineering or science, at least one graduate-level subject approved by the BE Graduate Committee Chair or Co-Chair must be selected.
3. Biological Science — two subjects
To provide a firm foundation in modern biol¬ogy, the student will be expected to have biochemistry and cell biology as pre requisites and then select two graduate-level subjects in biological science. If cell biology has not been previously taken, it must be selected as one of these two graduate-level subjects. If biochemistry has not been previously taken, it must be taken as a remedial undergraduate subject before selecting the two graduate-level courses.
Specialization in Molecular and Systems Toxicology and Pharmacology
The Biological Engineering offers a graduate program leading to the degree of Ph.D. in Applied Biosciences with specialization in Molecular and Systems Toxicology and Pharmacology. For decades, scientists at MIT have harnessed chemical, genetic, biological, and epidemiological tools to make fundamental advances in public health and the chemotherapy of human diseases. For example, research done by toxicologists at MIT contributed to the identification of aflatoxin as a potent food carcinogen and to the elucidation of its role as a major risk factor for liver cancer globally. Based on this research, public health programs have been developed to combat contamination of food by aflatoxin. These programs have contributed to significant reduction of the impacts of aflatoxin exposure, and it is expected that minimization of exposure will in turn result in far fewer cases of liver cancer in populations of the developing world. Scientists at MIT have always taken a multidisciplinary approach to solving real world problems in toxicology and pharmacology. Today, this group of researchers has joined forces with engineers to expand even further the repertoire of tools available to do effective research that will improve public health and disease treatment.
Teaching and research in toxicology and pharmacology focus on understanding the interactions of organisms with chemical, biological, and physical agents. One goal here is to study how exogenous and endogenous agents induce toxicity and cause disease in humans. A second goal is to establish the molecular mechanisms of drug actions, with the longer term aim of developing improved therapeutics. The program is interdisciplinary in nature and interacts with other programs and departments that have an interest in human pathophysiology, molecular pharmacology, and environmental health. Many of the research activities are coordinated through the Center for Environmental Health Sciences at MIT, the nucleus of which is comprised of Biological Engineering faculty. Areas of research specialization include studies in environmental carcinogenesis and epidemiology; development of molecular methods for direct measurement of mutations in humans; metabolism of foreign compounds; genetic toxicology; the molecular aspects and dosimetry of interactions between mutagens and carcinogens with nucleic acids and proteins; molecular mechanisms of DNA damage and repair; design and mechanisms of action of chemotherapeutic agents; molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis; cell physiology; and molecular and pathologic interactions between infectious microbial agents and carcinogens.
The core curriculum in the Applied Biosciences track provides rigorous training in the basic sciences, with particular emphasis on biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and pathophysiology. Students wishing to specialize in molecular and systems toxicology and pharmacology must then enroll in three elective subjects:
Students specializing in molecular and systems toxicology and pharmacology are eligible for support by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Toxicology Training Grant.
Specialization in Molecular and Systems Bacterial Pathogenesis
Biological Engineering offers a graduate program leading to the degree of Ph.D. or Sc.D. in Applied Biosciences with specialization in molecular and systems bacterial pathogenesis. There is growing interest in understanding the fundamental mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens and their toxins cause disease. In Biological Engineering, a multidisciplinary approach is being used to apply novel instrumentation and computational tools to elucidating these mechanisms quantitatively. Research in this area is critical for the development of rational strategies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. Work being done today by scientists and engineers at MIT will impact the quality of life of individuals in the developed world as well as in the developing world in the near future.
Teaching and research in bacterial pathogenesis focus on cross-talk between pathogens and hosts. Traditional methods of investigating the role of individual virulence determinants have given way to systems pathogenesis, which involves signaling networks, genomics, proteomics, and glycomics. Many of these activities are coordinated through the Center for Environmental Health Sciences and the Division of Comparative Medicine at MIT. Areas of research specialization include emerging infectious diseases and biodefense; innate and adaptive immune responses to pathogens; microbial ecology of infectious diseases; as well as chronic infection, inflammation, and cancer risk.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly rolled out a pre-launch SGLT campaign that breaks ranks with branding for J&J's SGLT2 inhibitor Invokana.
Abbott and BMS peeled back the curtain on some impressive clinical trial results, suggesting that Gilead may have some competition in the sprint for an all-oral anti-HCV treatment.
Boehringer Ingelheim has long been associated with treatments for stroke prevention, COPD and HIV/AIDS, but not cancer. That's about to change, if a cornucopia of 13 abstracts presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is any evidence.

CATEGORIES Trailers and Clips, Movies2014 seems to be an embarrassment of riches when it comes to modest genre movies. And it's not just horror movies, either. Everything from Denis Villeneuve's mind-bending "Enemy" to next month's terrific slice of Southern fried revenge "Cold in July" have delighted, surprised, and made us think, at least momentarily, that we're living in some kind of golden age of genre movie, where top quality product can be released over a variety of platforms, with the same intended, oftentimes shocking punch.
And if there is one master of shock, it is none other than Eli Roth, who gave us the "Hostel" movies and "Cabin Fever." He's been out of the filmmaking game for a while, mostly due to his commitments as an actor (he starred as the Bear Jew in Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-nominated, spellcheck-proof "Inglourious Basterds"), but this year he's back in a big way. Not only did he produce Ti West's spooky cult thriller "The Sacrament" (out next month), but he's actually directed a movie of his own, too! That movie is"The Green Inferno" and we're thrilled to debut the exclusive trailer right here.
There isn't a whole lot of plot revealed in this atmospheric (almost unbearably so) trailer, but we do know that it's about a group of activists from New York who travel deep into the South American jungle to save a tribe from extinction. But they get more than they bargained for, when they realize that the tribe they're dealing with is rather, er, primordial. When the trailer knowingly teases that the movie is "from the twisted mind of Eli Roth," it feels like the marketing team's attempt to say, "Look, we warned you."
The movie was co-written, produced, and directed by Roth, who debuted the movie at last year's Toronto International Film Festival. And it must have made some kind of impression, since the sequel, directed by his "Aftershock" confederate Nicolas Lopez, has already been commissioned.
"The Green Inferno" opens September 5th. Try to see it at one of those theaters, like the Alamo Drafthouse, where you can eat during the movie. That'd probably be best.

History Of The Ampersand Cocktail
The Ampersand cocktail is a classic mixed drink recipe with brandy, gin, sweet vermouth & orange bitters which was first published in the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book by A.S. Crockett (1935). Little else is known about the history of the Ampersand cocktail. However, some speculate the name may be derived from the ampersand in between Martini & Rossi, a popular brand of vermouth which is one of the cocktail's ingredients. There appears to be nothing to support that theory as of yet though.
The Ampersand Cocktail Is A Slurry Of Spirits
Made entirely from distilled spirits & fortified wine with no sweet or sour mixers, its a sneaky sip that doesn't seem that strong, but is. One too many Ampersand cocktails and you may end up slurring your words, much like this drink's name* which garbles "and per se and" all together into the once slang and now commonplace single word, ampersand. Would make a good joke lead in for a sober punchline.
Behind The Bar - How To Mix An Ampersand Cocktail At Home
Ampersand cocktail Drink Recipe:
- 1 oz Old Tom Gin
- 1 oz Cognac
- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 2 dashes orange curacao
Combine the Old Tom Gin (or London dry with a dash or two of simple syrup if substituting), Cognac or other favorite brandy, sweet Italian vermouth and the orange bitters together in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled martini, coupe or other cocktail glass. Top off with a couple dashes orange curacao. Optionally, garnish with an orange twist as shown.
How To Make An Ampersand Cocktail Garnish Shape
If you want to get really creative, form your garnish twist into the shape of an ampersand symbol. Start by cutting an extra long continuous strip of orange peel with your channel knife, four to five inches plus. Then mold the orange peel to look like an ampersand by using a toothpick skewer or cocktail sword as the straight part in a classic font style securing the loops as you wrap around. Finally, trim the ends to complete your 'ampersand' cocktail garnish and decorate your drink with a 27th letter of the alphabet adornment (see below).
Ampersand Fonts For The Drink Menu At Your Bar - Home & Otherwise
If you're looking for some unusual or cool looking fonts for your at home bar menu, special occasion or party, both type set and mimicking handwritten script, 17 different ampersands are shown along with the cocktail above. Baskerville is the font style of the large ampersand and the sixteen fonts of the smaller row of ampersands at the bottom are from left to right:
- Wisdom Script Al
- Vivaldi
- Trebuchet MS
- Tempus Sans ITC
- Pristina
- Papyrus
- Mistral
- Matisse ITC
- Juice ITC
- French Script MT
- Eurostile
- Curlz MT
- Monotype Corsiva
- Caslon Antique
- Bradley Hand ITC
- Blackadder ITC
Having an alternating drinks menu for your at home bar is a great way to mix things up for your core group of friends and family as well as exposing infrequent guests to new recipes too. Its a common tactic for nightclubs and restaurants to keep things from becoming boring and always having the usual. Great method to keep parties fun at home too.
Variations & Similar Recipe Ingredients To The Ampersand Cocktail
More Drinks Mixed With Gin And Brandy:
- Anesthetic Cocktail - Cognac, French (dry) & Italian (sweet) Vermouth, Gin, Orange Bitters & Sugar.
- Boston Cocktail - adds grenadine to a Resolute cocktail.
- Resolute Cocktail / Resolution Martini - apricot brandy, gin & lemon juice.
- (English & French) Rose Cocktails - gin, dry vermouth and apricot / cherry brandy respectively. The English Rose drink recipe adds lemon juice & grenadine. Both are garnished with maraschino cherries.
- Thanksgiving Cocktail - adds dry vermouth to a Resolution martini.
* - Ampersand slurs the words in the expression "and per se and" into a single word. Old school alphabet recital used the Latin phrase "per se" (meaning "by itself") before letters which could also be used as words, like 'a', 'i' and sometimes 'o' as well. Also, the symbol '&' used to be appended on to the end of the other 26 letters as a 27th and since it was used for the word and, it to was recited with a "per se" in front.
So, using this format, the alphabet was recited as: Per se a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, per se i… x, y, z and per se and. People started to slur the ending "and per se and" into a mumbled sounding 'ampersand' and the rest is etymological history. Makes a nice story to tell behind your bar at home as your mixing up some Ampersand cocktails for your guests. Cheers!

TUSH! 12"x12" Coffee Table Version
TUSH! is a book dedicated to my favourite part of the female
anatomy, the bottom, derriere or tush. I am not alone in this
Many names have been applied to this wonderfully rounded
and shapely asset, in every language and tongue around the
planet, and a few of these appear on the front page. One
of my favourite names is "tush", to be said softly like shush,
conveying the soft warm suppleness of beautiful womanly
Several art books have already been dedicated to the delicate
subject. Among my favourites is "Derrière" by Jeanloup Sieff,
which was a great inspiration; produced with tasteful images,
and a hint of wit and humour. My aim is to try and emulate
his standards and produce a book which is as artistic and
tasteful. I will leave the viewer to decide whether I succeeded
or not!

Lab 7: Gate-Level Simulation and Power Analysis
Lab posted: Mar 1, 2012.
Lab due: Mar 13, 2012.In this lab, you will learn how to simulate your design with Cadence NC-SIM. You will perform the simulation for a gate-level design. From the gate-level simulation, you will obtain VCD (value change dump) file and you can make precise power analysis with the VCD.
Gate-Level SimulationRTL simulation mainly verifies the functionality of hardware description language (Verilog or VHDL). On the other hand, gate-level simulation verifies the design timing with actual gate delays, and gate-level simulation provides functional information for a precise power analysis. In this lab, we will not cover the RTL simulation and verification. We will make a Verilog simulation for a pre-implemented 8-bit adder design.
To run Lab 7, download Lab 7 tarball and extract it in your workspace. For the gate-level simulation, you should generate SDF (standard delay format) file first from Synopsys PrimeTime. SDF file will provide cell and interconnect delay information to Verilog simulator. Then, you can run NC-SIM -- the inputs are Verilog netlist (adder_B8.v), Verilog testbench (adder_B8_playback_driver.v), veriog library (tcbn65gplus.v) and the generated SDF file (adder_B8.sdf). The simulation will be run with random input patterns during 10,000 cycles.
ieng6-205$ cp /home/linux/ieng6/ee260b/public/data/lab7.tar .
ieng6-205$ tar xvf lab7.tar
ieng6-205$ cd lab7
ieng6-205$ pt_shell -f pt_sdf.tcl
ieng6-205$ source ./NCSIM.env
ieng6-205$ ncverilog -f nc_init.cmd
After the simulation, you will have VCD (value change dump) file (adder_B8.vcd). With the VCD file, you can check simulation results with Cadence Simvision. Execute Simvision with this command: ieng6-205$ simvision &. And, open the VCD file: [File]-[Open Database]-[Files of type: VCD Files]-[select adder_B8.vcd]-[Open]-[File Translation - OK]. In Design Browser, select [testbench] - [driver] - [uut], then you can see internal signal names in the window (right side). Select input and output signals (A, B, SUM, clk), and press waveform button .
You can check the simulation results as shown in this figure. You can change the displayed value radix to decimal in the middle window (with "Cursor" text) -- [mouse right button]-[Radix]-[Decimal].
Power AnalysisWith the gate-level simulation result (VCD), you can make power analysis from PrimTime-PX.
ieng6-205$ pt_shell -f pt_px.tcl
After running pt_shell, you will have a power report (pwr.rpt). In pt_px.tcl:line 25, you can save SAIF file from the VCD, and you can make a power analysis with SAIF.
Please find manuals for NC-SIM (NC-Verilog) and PrimeTime-PX in this link (NC-SIM, PT-PX).
Lab assignments
Assignment 1: (a) Describe SDF, VCD and SAIF file formats. (b) Compare VCD and SAIF for power analysis (including pros and cons of each).
Assignment 2: (a) In the simulation, clock cycle time is 0.3ns (see adder_B8_playback_driver.v). Please reduce the clock cycle (by 0.01ns step), and find the minimum clock cycle time which does not make errors on output values (the Verilog simulation will report the number of FAILs after comparing outputs with golden values). (b) Find the minimum clock cycle time without timing error in PrimeTime (use report_timing command in pt_shell, and check slack value and clock cycle in SDC file). (c) Explain the difference between simulation (dynamic timing analysis) and STA (static timing analysis) based on the results of (a) and (b). The result of STA will be pessimistic. Why do we use STA for design signoff?
Assignment 3: In the power analysis, the analysis has been done with an "averaged" mode. Please make a "time-based" power analysis (see the PT-PX manual), and report dynamic, leakage and peak power results.

Australia is going crazy. A lead news story about a politician in trouble for describing female genitalia in uncomplimentary terms in a
text to one of his staff (it came to light in a court case). Talk about thought police!
But that is not the end of Australian's derangement, now there's a big story about a Twitter entry from the wife of the Deputy Premier of the state where she berated another politician who had voted against sacking the guy for his private message.
She said "God will not be mocked!". I'm not kidding. I'm an agnostic who has often made fun of religious superstition, but I couldn't be as arrogant and blasphemous as this woman if I tried. A microscopic idiot speck of a human being claims to clearly know the mind of a deity who is infinite and eternal.
What on earth is happening to people's minds these days? Why are so many people fleeing from logic??
Myself, I am arrogant enough to consider myself mistress and quasi-deity to my cells, and I'm cool if cell #13,325,484,351,236,537 (located in the little toe on my hi hat foot) wants to say nasty things about the cluster of cells that make up my nether regions.
Nor do I mind if that cell mocks me (get in line, kid), just as long as it's a good team player and doesn't form a cancerous mutiny ... I want my cells to make love, not war.

By SHARYL ATTKISSON / CBS NEWS
Three more weapons from Fast and Furious have turned up at crime scenes in Mexico, CBS News has learned, as the toll from the controversial federal operation grows.
According to Justice Department tracing documents obtained by CBS News, all three guns are WASR-10 762-caliber Romanian rifles. Two were purchased by Fast and Furious suspect Uriel Patino in May and July of 2010. Sean Steward, who was convicted on gun charges in July 2012, purchased a third. The rifles were traced yesterday to the Lone Wolf gun shop in Glendale, Ariz.
During Fast and Furious and similar operations, federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) encouraged the Lone Wolf and other gun stores to sell massive amounts of weapons to questionable purchasers who allegedly trafficked them Mexican drug cartels.

i2c CEO: "Prepaid Products Target the Wrong Customers"
The financial industry welcomed prepaid cards into the family by the end of the 1990s and early 2000s. Overzealous stakeholders jumped to take part in the prepaid movement, but forgot to look before they leaped.
As a result of the craze, prepaid card business models lacked the proper foundation needed to sustain success and grasp the market's potential.
That's how Amir Wain, CEO at i2c, believes the prepaid industry has reached its current point.
According to Wain, many players in the prepaid industry fall apart, and others merely flutter at the surface of their full potential. Various payment products have reached maturity, but the prepaid industry is fighting to build more effective business strategies and operations. In Wain's view, inadequate management is often to blame for prepaid's failure, but this is not because of a lack of manager skill. Instead it's due to a lack of processing technology and secure infrastructure.
A white paper released by i2c Inc attempts to outline common program management obstacles that challenge the prepaid industry. Market Platform Dynamics CEO Karen Webster spoke with Wain to hone in on how prepaid companies can remedy their business models, maximize potential and find the right tools to do so.
Webster dived right into frequently found program management problems and asked Wain how the process should be corrected.
"There are two primary categories, which is first the actual definition of the business model, and second is the execution," Wain responded.
"There has been a limited ability to execute on this innovation engine within the payments space. When you think about credit and debit, there are very mature applications. Over the years, the industry has built systems that execute them very well in a secure and reliable fashion," he further explained.
"But then you throw innovation, in prepaid—or lets call it 'stored value'—and now when I try to go back and use a system that has been designed to keep doing one thing well, this is when I run into problems."
According to Wain, when a company attempts to manage a prepaid program with the same tools and approach as a credit or debit card program, they can run into trouble. However, differences between prepaid and traditional financial products are not limited to the processing systems.
Instead, Wain pointed to a "philosophical change" that needs to take place in the industry as well.
"I completely disagree with thinking that prepaid is for those that are not being served by an existing product."
Prepaid companies can increase customer value without having to slap on additional fees. Wain explained customers who aren't the target consumer for credit and debit card programs don't want to feel like chopped liver.
Speaking for the consumer he stated, "I do not want to be thought of as a reject or a second, lower class product. As a program manager, thinking about my product, I've got to set my premise around "prepaid by choice." I'm not looking to sign you up just because you can't get the other product."

Chief Executive Officer
Amir Wain is a pioneer in the prepaid card industry. He founded Innovative Private Limited, a software-development firm, in 1987 and led the development of the transaction processing platform FastCash. Propelled by the success of Innovative and expanding market opportunities, Wain founded i2c Inc. in 2001 and with his team, launched My Card Place (MCP), i2c's customizable, feature-rich card processing platform. Under Wain, i2c has introduced a number of prepaid industry firsts, including its Campaign Manager, Giftogram and i-Coupons products. He introduced the term "Prepaid2.0" to describe the change in mindset that embraces previously underserved cardholders as valuable customers and leads to comprehensive and flexible lifestyle products that incorporate value-added services and foster customer loyalty. At i2c, Wain continues to develop his vision with strategies to meet the needs of the evolving prepaid marketplace.

The 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend is upon us (almost, as soon as Thursday's two games end). Los Angeles and its Staples Center -- so magnificent two teams call it home -- will host the NBA's grandest annual spectacle beginning on Friday.
The schedule is as packed as ever, as long as you excuse the lack of a H.O.R.S.E. contest, which has been discontinued by the NBA and broadcast partner TNT after two years of boring infamy. Here's the run-down on the weekend's events. All times Eastern.
BBVA Celebrity Game, 7 PM, ESPN. Bill Simmons and Jimmy Kimmel will serve as the coaches and choose teams among the illustrious stars of Hollywood and beyond on hand for the BBVA Celebrity Game. Justin Bieber makes his Celebrity Game debut, and would be a shoo-in for No. 1 pick overall if fellow contestant Scottie Pippen hadn't been prepping for weeks for his appearance. Magic Johnson, Bill Walton, Jason Alexander and Common are among the other players available. Terrible basketball guaranteed.
T-Mobile Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam, 9 PM, TNT. Blake Griifin will kick off his premier All-Star Weekend by heading into battle with John Wall and all the top picks of the 2010 NBA Draft not named Evan Turner. On the opposite side will be James Harden, Tyreke Evans and all the top 2009 NBA Draft picks not named Hasheem Thabeet, Ricky Rubio or Jonny Flynn. Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony will coach the rookies and sophomores, respectively. 'Melo is definitely sending Serge Ibaka after Derrick Favors' knees.
Haier Shooting Stars, 8 PM, TNT. Team Texas starring Dirk Nowitzki, Roneeka Hodges of the San Antonio Silver Stars and former Houston Rocket Kenny Smith will look to repeat as champions against a field that includes Taj Gibson and Rick Fox. This event is also known by its alternate name "Sandwich Time."
Taco Bell Skills Challenge, 8:30 PM, TNT. The Taco Bell Skills Challenge does not include an engineering task involving the creation of a triple-decker taco or a 17-layer burrito, but should! Derrick Rose and four contestants voted on by fans but not yet announced by the league will
jog through a mundane obstacle course compete for eternal glory and, I assume, tacos. This event is also known by its alternate name "Second Sandwich Time."
Foot Locker 3-Point Contest, after the Skills Challenge, TNT. Paul Pierce looks to defend his shoot-out championship belt against teammate Ray Allen, 30-percent three-point shooter Kevin Durant, former LeBron James posse member Daniel Gibson, current LeBron James posse member James Jones and former Heat benchwarmer Dorell Wright. As such, this is a proxy war in the Heat-Celtics rivalry.
Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, after the 3-Point Contest, TNT. Blake Griffin is the overwhelming favorite on his home court against Serge Ibaka, JaVale McGee and DeMar DeRozan. Even if the dunks are uncreative, the contest is worth watching to see what ridiculous Tucker Carlson tribute Dwyane Wade will wear, to see Kobe Bryant pretend to like other human beings and to hear Charles Barkley's xenophobia live.
NBA All-Star Game, 8 PM, TNT. The big show everyone is waiting for, with Kobe Bryant starring for the West team on his home floor. He'll be joined by teammate Pau Gasol and the previously discussed L.A. darling Blake Griffin. Seven of the 12 East All-Stars belong to the Heat and Celtics. It should be great fun seeing Chris Bosh and Kevin Garnett team up to defend pick-and-rolls.

|Chinese name
|杜可风 (simplified)
|Dù Kěfēng (Mandarin)
|Dou6 Ho2 Fung1 (Cantonese)
2 May 1952
Sydney, Australia
|cinematographer, actor, photographer, and film director
|Years active
|1978-present (photographer); 1983-present (cinematographer)
Christopher Doyle, also known as Dù Kěfēng (traditional Chinese: 杜可風; simplified Chinese: 杜可风), born 2 May 1952, is an Australian cinematographer who often works on Chinese language films. He is an award winner of Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival. He has also won the AFI Award for cinematography, the Golden Horse awards (four times), and Hong Kong Film Award (six times). Doyle is an affiliate of the Hong Kong Society of Cinematographers.
Doyle was born in Sydney, Australia in 1952. In the late 1970s, he went to Taiwan from Hong Kong and then settled in Taipei. While living in Taipei, he studied Mandarin Chinese at the Taipei Language Institute. He worked as an oil driller in India, a cow herder in Israel, and a doctor of Chinese medicine in Thailand. In 1978, he worked as a photographer for the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre and Zuni Icosahedron. In 1983, he was a cinematographer for That Day, On the Beach, the feature debut of director Edward Yang. For that film, Doyle won the Best Cinematography Award in the 1983 Asia-Pacific Film Festival.
He has worked with major Chinese directors such as Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yuan and, most notably, Wong Kar-wai, for whom he contributed, wholly or partially, to the cinematography of all his movies from Days of Being Wild through to 2046.
He himself has directed a feature film, Away with Words (aka Kujaku, aka San tiao ren) set in Hong Kong and Okinawa, starring Tadanobu Asano and Mavis Hee, as well as a segment "Porte de Choisy" in the feature film Paris, je t'aime.[1] Doyle is also a photographer.
While his Australian accent is still discernible when he speaks English, he does so with unusual intonations and stops, the result of speaking Cantonese and Mandarin, in which he is fluent, for most of his adult life. He also speaks fluent French. He lives in Hong Kong and his Chinese name is Du Ke Feng which means 'like the wind.'[2]
His music video credits include Six Days for DJ Shadow (directed by Wong Kar-wai), The Strokes' Juicebox (directed by Michael Palmieri), Getaway by the Scottish group Texas (directed by Tim Royes) and Sigur Rós' Gobbledigook (directed by Stefán Árni Þorgeirsson and Sigurður Kjartansson).

Round 1; Ball handling: I saw both these basketball players play, they are both good players.
Yogi: is natural with the ball like he was born to dribble, it is one of his best attributes. when i went to see him he was dribbling past double teams like it was nothing.
Ronnie: Good handling skills, above average, but i dont know if he can compare to yogi at this. but he is still a great ball handler trust me.
Round 1 goes to yogi
Round 2; Shooting/penetrating:
Yogi:Good shooter, especially from behind the arc.Hes not close to lights out what so ever though.From what i saw an average penetrator.
Ronnie:Great penetrator can attack the rim with ease, if the team he is playing prevents him from attacking the rim, he is going to hit his jump shots. He is great at both aspects.
Round 2 ronnie
Round 3; Defense/court vision
Yogi: To be honest defense is what Yogi needs work on, hes average.court vision..again average.
Ronnie: Great at both his court vision is brilliant , and defense is superior his stalkiness really helps.
Round 3 Ronnie, He is the better pg from what i saw.
This is all base doff what i saw..

text: With Pearce being on the DL and Clement not getting the job done, what are your opinions on giving Walker the everyday first base job until Pearce comes off the DL. Since LaRoche will probably be back from his minor back injury soon and taking back the everyday third base position it would be nice to see Walker getting a lot of at bats while he is here to see what he can do. I would love for the Pirates to give Walker a chance at second base but it appears they wont take Aki out of the line up. Once Alvarez is up with the team LaRoche will be out of a job at third. I would think they would move LaRoche to second, and give Walker and LaRoche both equal opportunities to compete for that starting job. If they were to let Walker start everyday at first for the next week or so i think it would really help management and the coaches decide what to do in the future. This of course would put Jones back in the outfield and hopefully keep Church out of the lineup for a while because he has been struggling big time recently especially with runners in scoring position. Your thoughts?

Happy New Year friends! We are finally getting some snow today. It's been a rather strange Winter for us so far, with less than two inches of snow. We are wrapping up our holiday break today, and getting some things organized.
I came across these Brownies on a Stick from my visit to Betty Crocker last year and knew you would love them. They are fun to create and definitely kid friendly!
Kids love any kind of food on a stick! And especially when it's a sweet treat like Brownies on a Stick!
While visiting Betty Crocker Kitchens in Minneapolis, we baked in 4 different stations, one of those was brownies. We made an amazing Brownie Pizza, Brownie Goody Bars, Rocky Road Brownies and these Brownies on a Stick!
A fun treat for kids or adults. HoosierHomemade.com Original Recipe Betty Crocker
- 1 box of Brownie Mix plus water, oil and egg called for on the box (8 or 9 inch square size)
- 15 craft sticks (found in the craft section of Walmart or Hobby stores)
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 teaspoons shortening
- Assorted sprinkles
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Line 8 inch or 9 inch square pan with foil, extending the sides a couple inches. Spray foil with cooking spray.
- Bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Place brownies in freezer for 30 minutes. Removed brownies from pan, lifting foil, peel away the sides
- Cut brownies into 15 rectangles
- Gently insert craft stick into one end of each brownie, peeling foil away.
- Place on cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a small microwavable bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening about 1 minute, stir until smooth. If the chocolate is not completely melted, microwave for an additional 5 seconds, stir until smooth.
- Dip end of brownie into chocolate and add sprinkles. Lay flat on waxed paper to dry
The ideas are endless for the Brownies on a Stick! They would make a fun birthday treat, or even a treat for a special holiday, just use fun sprinkles to change them up. This recipe calls for melting chocolate chips, but you can also use candy melts or even almond bark for dipping, they work great too.

of cocaine base and one count of distribution of marijuana; 18-year-old
Jenaron Singleton, charged with three counts of distribution of
marijuana and one count each of possession with intent to distribute
marijuana and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number;
19-year-old Brion Williams, charged with three counts of distribution
of cocaine base; 18-year-old Deontrae Singleton, charged with seven
counts of distribution of cocaine base and six magistrate bench
warrants; 21-year-old Jake Williams, charged with one count of simple
possession of marijuana; 32-year-old Sherrie Wright, charged with one
count of simple possession of marijuana; 24-year-old Javon Tyrell
Dowling, charged with one count of distribution of marijuana, and
31-year-old Nathaniel Dean Patton, charged with three counts of
distribution of cocaine.
Gadson's bond is set at $260,000; Jenaron Singleton's bond is set at $110,000; Brion Williams' bond is set at $150,000; Deontrae Singleton's bond is set at $350,000; Jake Williams' bond is set at $620; Wright's bond is set at $620. Dowling and Patton's bonds have not been released yet.
The warrants are a result of investigations into increased criminal activities in the community over the past several months including drug sales and several drive-by shootings, some of which had not previously been reported to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, Brady added.
"It's about time the cleaned up the streets with the drugs and stuff," said Woodside Manor resident Rose Holmes. "I don't have anything else to say about what they do. They did a good job."
"I think it's fabulous. They need to sweep the entire neighborhood," said a woman who asked not to be identified.
There have been 19 calls for service in the neighborhood in 2012, including: nine burglaries, four auto break-ins, three stolen vehicles, two shootings, and one report of shots fired.
Brady said more arrests may be made at a later date.
Search warrants were served at the following residences.
Agencies assisting the Charleston County Sheriff's Office SWAT and Metro Narcotics Units in the operation included the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, Dorchester County Sheriff's Office, Goose Creek Police Department, North Charleston Police Department, Summerville Police Department SWAT, the Ninth Circuit Solicitor's Office, the Coastal Carolina Chaplaincy and Charleston County EMS.
Bond hearings are tentatively scheduled for Saturday.

Coscarelli, Don (Phantasm) Audio
Though he's one of the nicest guys working in the industry today, for some reason we've never had a chance to sit down and shoot the shit with Don Coscarelli, creator of Phantasm (which is getting a brand new DVD thanks to Anchor Bay on April 10th, get it through Evilshop), Survival Quest, Bubba Ho-Tep and more.
Thanks to the kind folks at Anchor Bay we were finally able to make it happen, so I got on the horn with the man to discuss the aforementioned DVD, Survival Quest, where the Phantasm series is going next and a lot more.
Click here or on the graphic below to hear the audio interview and be sure to get out there and snatch up the new AB version of Survival Quest (get it here) Phantasm and Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (get that through Evilshop here) when they hit shelves on Tuesday, April 10th! Enjoy!

Team USA suffered their first loss of this years tournament in a closely contested 3-2 loss to Team Canada, and with the loss the Americans drew the tough task of facing a Russian side with arguably the best goalie in the tournament Andrei Vasilesvski. Also on the Russian side are Sabres first round picks Mikhail Grigorenko and Nikita Zadorov in addition to Anton Slepyshev, Ivan Barbashev and Valentin Zykov. Clearly the Russian team is very deep and has the ability to score goals in bunches.
The Americans boast their usual quick hard forechecking line up and will attempt to knock off the Russians in the elimination round for the second straight year. Matt Grzelyck and Nic Kerdiles lead the Americans with 6 points each and goaltender Jon Gillies will look to rebound after suffering his first loss vs Canada on New Years Eve.

The blockbuster Japanese MMA New Year's Show is a tradition going back nine years to Antoni Inoki's Inoki Bom Ba Ye in 2001. Since the fall of Pride, K-1/FEG have had the field to themselves. Traditionally all the stops are pulled out to present the biggest MMA and kickboxing spectacle humanly possible.
Dave Meltzer talked about the tradition a couple of years back:
That was significant because one of Japan's great television traditions is the NHK network's New Year's Eve concert. Unlike in the U.S., where people go out to celebrate New Year's, in Japan nearly everyone stays home for what is the most important television night of the year, and the concert is their version of the Super Bowl, the show that everyone watches.
After the televised success in 2001, the 2002 Inoki Bom Ba Ye on New Year's Eve was headlined by Sapp against Yoshihiro Takayama. The two finished first and second a few weeks earlier for Pro Wrestler of the Year in Japan, and were put on as the headline event on television. The closest thing to a U.S. equivalent would be if Hulk Hogan and The Rock were put in the ring and fought (for real) on a show that was presented by UFC and featured stars from HBO boxing all on the same night. Sapp-Takayama did a 24.5 rating, with Sapp winning quickly via armbar. From that point on, the biggest fighting show of the year became traditional for New Year's Eve.
By 2003, the success of the Sapp-Takayama show was such that three different networks wanted the show. Pride and K-1 split, and Inoki went his own way. The three shows drew 25,000 to 35,000 fans each. It turned out to be the most important night in Japanese MMA history, and not because Sapp and Akebono, for the three minutes of their fight, beat the concert in the ratings.
This year it appears that the tradition may be sputtering to a halt. Zach Arnold breaks it down:
The deadline is approaching for K-1 this week to get everything in order if there is going to be a Dynamite show taking place at Saitama Super Arena. December is already approaching and there is still no official word regarding a television contract between Tokyo Broadcasting System & K-1 for what has been traditionally Japan's biggest yearly fighting show. If TBS does not offer substantial money to K-1 to produce a NYE event, the question is not whether the Dynamite show will lose money... but just how much will be lost.
There are multiple scenarios on the table. The worst of all worlds would involve K-1 paying TBS for television time. Another bad outcome would be K-1 receiving little or no money (bartering), which would prohibit the promotion from being able to spend the kind of money needed to book big-name talent to pop a big TV rating. If a deal between K-1 and TBS falls apart, K-1 could very well find themselves in a scenario where they run a DREAM-type no-TV event.
(This is the current conventional wisdom amongst some Japanese insiders I've talked to over the weekend.)
The long-term survival prospects for K-1 will be largely determined by how well the 12/11 Ariake Colosseum and 12/31 Saitama Super Arena shows do business-wise. If they are money losers, the promotion will be on its last legs. If the shows can somehow break even or make a little money, then life goes on.
This could be a very sad end to a glorious decade of Japanese MMA.

Macron Bercy: MEDEF "wants to see" Force Workers 'worried'
"(With the new government), it is in the social-liberalism. And Emmanuel Macron is the symbol. " The least one can say is that the appointment of former banker at Rothschild to head the Department of Economics1 is far to please Jean-Claude Mailly2 General Secretary FO.
Even before the new tenant Bercy has taken office, the union is under no illusions about the economic policy that will lead. "Given his background, the economic policy of the last two years, namely a policy of austerity, will be strengthened (with its arrival)," said Jean-Claude Mailly, Wednesday morning on France Inter. "This line is in line with that of the MEDEF. (His appointment) is not a good idea for the French economy. I'm worried. Unless Emmanuel Macron change. "
It could therefore be expected that employers welcome the arrival of the man who was "one of the fathers of the pact of responsibility" as "recalled Jean-Claude Mailly. But the president of MEDEF, Pierre Gattaz3, was more cautious than expected. He "expects to see the facts and actions" before welcome the appointment of former economic adviser to Francois Hollande instant payday loans. "Too often in this country tended to hear wonderful political speeches and behind it was anything at the actions," he added.
"Emmanuel Macron knows the business, knows the market economy and knows globalization"

successor Laurence Parisot has not failed, however, to portray substitute Arnaud Montebourg. "Emmanuel Macron has three advantages: it knows the business, knows the market economy and he knows the globalization," he said on RTL.

Plans for 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in 2016 unveiled
Plans are under way to mark the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in the town linked to the most famous conflict in English history. A small steering committee has been set up to work on a series of events in Battle, near Hastings, East Sussex, on October 14, 2016.
The events aim to mark the significance of the battle which altered the course of history in medieval England and led to the Norman Conquest.
It is hoped that a senior Royal Family member will attend the commemoration as the Queen helped mark the 900th anniversary in 1966.
A lunch with invited guests from Normandy and further afield will kick off events being organised by the steering committee, called Concorde 950, led by Peter Field, the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex.

Two of Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC's) top-ranked welterweights are set to collide in the co-main event of UFC 154: "St. Pierre vs. Condit" this Saturday night (Nov. 17, 2012) in Montreal as Martin Kampmann and Johny Hendricks are set for a meeting that could determine the next number one contender at 170 pounds.
Both men enter the fight on impressive win-streaks as Kampmann has reeled off three-straight against Rick Story, Thiago Alves and Jake Ellenberger, while Hendricks has put together four wins in a row against T.J. Waldburger, Mike Pierce, Jon Fitch and Josh Koscheck.
It is possible the winner will face off against the fighter who comes out of the night's main event between Georges St. Pierre vs. Carlos Condit. The stakes are extremely high for Kampmann vs. Hendricks and despite being former training partners, Kampmann tells MMA Fight Corner he has the mindset of a killer and is going to Montreal to finish Hendricks at all costs.
"I'm still going to go in there for the kill, try to finish it, I'm sure he's going to do the same to me. I know this opponent way better than a lot of other opponents I've had, so I feel confident going into the fight. I know his wrestling's good, I know his power's good, I've trained with him before. It's easy to train for, that's a good thing. It's easier to train for cause you know a lot of the strong points, but at the same time you can change a lot in a couple years. I'd love to knock out Johny, but if he gives me a chance to sneak in a submission, I'll be happy to take that too. The bottom line is I want to finish the fight. I don't want to go to the judges' decision, I want to finish the fight, knocking him out or getting the submission, either way I'll be a happy man."
While the UFC has not made anything official, the winner of Kampmann vs. Hendricks is, unless leapfrogged by Nick Diaz when he returns from suspension, likely to be named the No. 1 contender in the UFC welterweight division.
Unfortunately, there is no telling when that shot may come until the night's main event between St. Pierre vs. Condit comes to a conclusion.
For Kampmann, he already holds a split decision win over "The Natural Born Killer" dating back to April 2009. With that in mind, 'The Hitman' knows his confidence would be high going into a rematch with Condit, but ultimately he would prefer to face St. Pierre and attempt to become the man to knock the sports biggest pay-per-view star off his throne.
"For me it'd be better with Carlos winning, especially because I got a win on him. I know he wants the rematch. But at the same time, I'd like to fight GSP. He's the all-time best welterweight, so that's the guy I'd like to beat."
If GSP wins, he may fight Anderson Silva before defending his welterweight title again, which would be tough luck for Kampmann or Hendricks as the division would be in limbo and they would probably have to defeat another contender before fighting for the title.
However, if the challenger defeats the champion, there's a good chance he faces the winner of Kampmann vs. Hendricks in the near future, as UFC President Dana White was recently quoted saying if Condit upsets at UFC 154, he will meet the division's top contender next.
Nevertheless, Hendricks vs. Kampmann is an intriguing bout for the UFC welterweight division and, title or no title, the winner has nothing but big fights lined up for their immediate future.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WXOW) - The Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act, better known as the Farm Bill, expired Sunday.
The bill, which provides various levels of support for farmers and ranchers, passed the senate, led by Democrats, on a bi-partisan vote.
Some of the House Republicans said they don't want to take action on the bill until after the November elections.
Some House Democrats don't agree.
"Basically, it's a safety net for those (dairy) producers to make sure we don't lose the production. And, the reason we do this is not, as some would argue, to give them subsidies or bail them out. It's to make sure that the milk supply remains constant and that the prices at the supermarket remain there," said Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn.
House Speaker John Boehner said some people believe there's not enough reform in the bill, others believe there's too much.
Thus, when Congress returns after the election, they'll deal with the bill, he said.

The Cotati City Council unanimously voted to appoint John Moore as the new city councilman Wednesday.
The council seat became vacant in January following former city Councilwoman Pat Gilardi's resignation to take a job as district director for Sonoma County Supervisor Susan Gorin.
"(Moore) is a longstanding community member who has integrity and is a hard worker," said Mayor Mark Landman. "We look forward to working with him."
The City Council voted unanimously Jan. 23 to appoint a new council member, instead of holding a special election.
Moore, an insurance executive with the Rohnert Park branch of the State Compensation Insurance Fund, was one of nine applicants for the position.
"It's a grueling process and I thought the field was wide open for all of the applicants," said Moore, who has been a Cotati resident since 1984. "I thought some of the applicants were very strong."
The original list of applicants included George Barich, Isaac Freed, Linell Hardy, Ed Hirsch, Sky Matula, Moore, Ashley Veach, Eris Weaver and Alan Wintermeyer.
Only six of the nine applicants attended the council's Wednesday meeting. After more than four hours of presentations from the applicants, the council narrowed the field down to Moore and conflict resolution facilitator Weaver.
Landman noted both Weaver and Moore's background as experienced negotiators interested him.
"(Moore) is a person who can voice his disagreement without being divisive," Landman said. "That makes a big difference."
Moore, who serves as a district bargaining unit representative for a local branch of Service Employees International Union, believes the experience will be helpful in his new position.
"Within (conflict) you have to allow others to be professional and save face so that you can get down into the nitty gritty of the real issues," Moore said.
Moore's top three priorities include stabilizing the city's revenue, working on viable options for the city's downtown plan and restoring some of the city services lost to the economic downturn, Moore said.
"I'd really like to see the city have a recreation department again," he said.
The new councilman also noted the challenge the downtown plan now presents after voters banned roundabouts from Cotati in 2012.
"We're going to have to keep the plan viable," Moore said. "I want to be able to bolster the city to be more economically viable."
Moore's wife, Lisa, previously served as a city councilwoman and briefly as mayor of Cotati. Both husband and wife had originally pulled applications for the position, but mutually decided he should move forward due to his wife's decision to attend Sonoma State University.
Moore was chosen late into the evening and was immediately sworn in as the new councilman.
I know this isn't directly about the article, but it does relate to ICLEI and AGENDA 21 and the SMART Train.
In a report published in April of 2012 by the Royal Society titled People and the Planet, the elitist UK-based society calls for massive population reduction and de-industrialization of the west.
Drenched in euphemisms, the report cannot conceal its ominous undertones. Listed among its "key recommendations" the report proposes several measures similar to the one put out recently by MIT in which a drastic reduction of the population is called for in the name of "modelling" and predictions.
What the Royal Society terms "systematically decoupling economic activity from environmental impact" is actually a rephrasing of Agenda 21's plan to gradually de-industrialize the west as well as the creation of megacities in which the bulk of the world's population can be locked up to make them more manageable. Or, what the Royal Society calls "the potential for urbanisation to reduce material consumption." hence ReWilding of America,
Cotati is a perfect example for all of us to observe and learn from, as to what happens when a town signs up as an ICLEI Charter.
Local Governments For Sustainability (ICLEI) will give direction, goals and feeling of belonging, being part of something bigger. Offer training, a future place on their big Ark of oppression. Lots of warm 'n fuzzy rhetoric and ideology. Instill the notion that they're doing the right thing, because they will reduce 'greenhouse gasses' to help mitigate our 'global warming' problem. Only thing is anthropogenic global warming is the biggest lie of the 21st Century. It was contrived by Club of Rome/UN globalists as an instrument of our control/oppression and a means to unify toward their totalitarian goals. That is a fact.
The only 'climate change' is from ozone depletion as a result of their ongoing 'geo-engineering' programs ('chem-trails'). It's all BS, and the globalists know it, e-mail correspondence/whistle blower testimony has been exposed to that effect. Aside from tens of thousands of of World's most qualified scientists, not on the dole.
But follower type that were picked last for kick ball in school are now V.I.P.s.
This is John Moore's 'reward' for spearheading a a recall campaign against Barich using the slimiest contrived garbage. The details of which would leave your jaw gaping open.
Ray Charles could tell that George was the most appropriate candidate if he was present Wed. night at Cotati Council as half a dozen candidates were interviewed and the public made their wishes known. But that didn't matter.
It was VERY OBVIOUS that it was A.D.D. (Already Done Deal).
We were fairly sure they would do this, but thought it would be so obvious, such a bust that they would be forced to do the right thing, frankly.
However this little town wins the award; most treasonous, devout little cabal in Sonoma County. It's amazing to watch, they are rogue to their constituents.
They have the stats and carnage left in their wake to prove it.
Reliant Trucking left, Oliver's Market who could serve as a fabulous anchor business stated they wouldn't commit with their ICLEI directed 'Complete Street' model in place.
Recognizing that it bottle necks business. The well located town has an over 50% commercial vacancy rate. It goes on and on.
See that's what ICLEI does, chokes the life out of a town. Strangles our Civil Rights, our Property Rights, Unalienable Rights, Small Business Rights, our economy, everything. Hell, it starts when you get off the Freeway heading toward down town. Ever notice there's two lanes going left at Old Redwood Hwy. headed toward a frontage road. But one lane going to the down town merchants and the vast majority of population/business'.
Yes indeed, this is the cherry topping off Cotati's corrupt little cup cake.
I attended this City Council meeting along with many others to speak on behalf of George Barich for the open seat. The room was packed to the point that they had to bring extra chairs into the chamber. Most of the people there seemed to be Barich supporters.
It was apparent from the beginning that they wanted "Anybody but George". Their bias showed during the questioning part of the interview. First, George was not thanked for applying for the position. It wasn't until the second applicant approached the Council and was being thanked that Councilmember Del 'Osso "remembered" to thank George. (Yeah, he "forgot", that's believable!) Then, there was a scenerio posed to all the other applicants, where they were offered a chance to be "King or Queen for a day" and share their ideas for the town, no matter how realistic or fanciful. George was not offered this opportunity, I wonder why? Then, there was a question regarding a possible water shortage in the future, and George was the ONLY one who knew that Cotati sells water to Marin and suggested that contract be ended to keep more of Cotati's water in Cotati. All the other applicants suggested additional conservation efforts, like using grey water for flushing toilets or watering plants. One applicant suggested more underground water storage. George was well-versed on all the issues facing Cotati. In my opinion, the other applicants were lacking in this area. It seemed that a few even had problems answering the Council's questions. Those there to speak on George's behalf mostly implored the current City Council to put aside their past differences with George and give those who voted for him a voice on the Council. I pointed out that Diversity of Thought is just as important as Diversity of Culture.
Unfortunately, the Council was unwilling to set their own personal feelings aside and do what is in the best interest of the City of Cotati. They didn't want someone on the Council who would be a check and balance to the power they currently enjoy. They obviously wanted someone more like themselves who will go along with whatever they want to do. I think they missed a great opportunity to show the Public that they are above partisan politics and are serious in doing all that is in the best interest for the citizens of Cotati.
I'm interested in seeing how he plans to obtain his goals. It's kinda funny that he won out of every other candidate despite the conflict of interest w/ his wife's past workings w/ the city.
His goals may not be viable at this time, but declaring them now is a great 'foot in' if he can't get it done this term.
I'm just glad he's actually a citizen of our town and not from Santa Rosa, Petaluma or any other of the outlying areas.
Why bother to campaign and run for the office run when you can get your comrades to appoint you?

The Town of Zionsville is on the brink of bringing in what could be its largest single taxpayer, FedEx.
The Redevelopment Commission approved Monday night, a series of agreements that would get the ball rolling on a business park to be built on what is known as the Ripberger property, 90 acres from 106th Street extending south to Hoosier Village.
The planned 300,000-square-foot FedEx distribution center would be the business park's largest tenant.
