Ensemble Montichiari plays music Bach admired, music of Bach, music of one of his greatest admirers
Three Generations: Music by Buxtehude, Bach and GraunParish Hall of St. Mark's Episcopal Church (2300 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA) Map it $13
Barefoot Chamber Concerts continues its mission to help you start the weekend right. The series ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events. Our concerts start at 6 on Fridays and last no more than 75 minutes. Kids are very welcome if quiet, and admission under 18 is free. Light refreshments are available before, during, and after the concert. There will be ample time to move on to other evening entertainments.
Barefoot is delighted to present Ensemble Montichiari (David Wilson, violin; Farley Pearce, viol; and Yuko Tanaka, harpsichord) performing a program of music by Buxtehude, Bach, and Graun.
Bach's music is, of course, the centerpiece, but Dietrich Buxtehude was one of the composers who influenced Bach the most. Bach left his job for several months (almost getting fired when he returned) and walked 280 miles on foot to hear Buxtehude play. Johann Gottlieb Graun, one of the last of the "old school" composers at the court in Dresden, has one foot in the rococo, while owing so much to the incomparable Bach.
In the amazing wooden acoustic of St. Mark's parish hall, this music will refresh and delight.
The program will be approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.
For more details, and to order tickets online, visit www.barefootchamberconcerts.com
$13 to $15.

SAYREVILLE, N.J. - Two weeks after Sandy, parts of New York and New Jersey are still trying to rebuild.
WMDT's Jemie Lee had the opportunity to ride along with a relief crew from Ocean City, Maryland to witness the devastation. She spoke with one family whose road to recovery Trapped on the top floor of their home, Christy Souders and her two kids couldn't get out for days."Everything was washed out. everything was under feet of water. It's devastating. We work so hard for what we have and it's all gone. My 4-year-old's traumatized. She's afraid of water now. She won't go near water," she said. It's the story many up north are facing. But for Christy and her family, their situation is a matter of life and death. "I moved here for cancer treatment at Robert Wood Johnson," she said. After being diagnosed with brain cancer, she moved to Sayreville, New Jersey six years ago. Stuck without a car and a means for transportation, it makes her dilemma that much more difficult. "Can't get to doctor's appointments. It's so hard to get anywhere. I've been missing my daily radiation. Right now it's hard for me because one, I'm turning anemic, and I'm not getting the treatment I need to slow the progression," she said. She stands by dozens of others in similar situations- and leans on them for support. "You know, everybody looks out for each other. You need a shoulder to cry on, they're there. We've become just a giant family now," she said.
The Ocean City crew is still accepting donations to be delivered to disaster areas. The items most needed include flashlights, batteries, and cleaning supplies.
Drop off locations: Hooters, West Ocean City 11am-3pm every day Blue Fish, 94th street From 12-4 Tuesday Through Sunday Art League of Ocean City MD 94th Street 11-4 Tuesday Through Sunday Burley Oak Brewing Company, Berlin 11-3 Monday through Saturday 12-3 Sunday

Delaware River extension of PA Turnpike and Delaware River Bridge is completed.
I-95 is completed through Bucks County. Original plan includes a full interchange between the PA Turnpike and I-95, but federal funds were not permitted to be used to connect an Interstate highway to a toll road, under federal laws and regulations of that period. (The federal laws have since been modified to permit such a project.)
PA Department of Transportation (PennDOT) studies a connection between PA Turnpike and I-95 through Silver Lake and Delhaas Woods in Bristol (see map, Scheme A). No further studies are conducted due to potential major environmental impacts.
The Federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act specifies that I-95 be completed through a PA Turnpike/I-95 interchange which would connect to the NJ Turnpike using the Delaware River Bridge.
PA Act 61 authorizes the PA Turnpike Commission to construct many projects throughout the state including an interchange between the PA Turnpike and I-95 in lower Bucks County and Turnpike widening from Valley Forge to the Delaware River.
PA Turnpike Commission studies a slow-speed, conventional interchange between the PA Turnpike and I-95 (see map, Scheme B). Engineers conclude this interchange is inadequate once updated traffic volumes are generated for the project.
PA Turnpike Commission studied a high-speed, direct interchange between the PA Turnpike and I-95. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) is completed, evaluating the various design alternatives and their potential impacts and documenting the preferred alternative. The Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), approving the preferred alternative identified in the FEIS.
The PA Turnpike Commission receives authorization of federal funds for the project's design. Design for the interchange project is initiated.
2004 - 2008
Preliminary Design completed.
2009 - Current
Final Design underway. Stage 1 construction begins 2010.

Hot, juicy and a little spicy. Great for your next BBQ!
Servings: 6 servings
Prep Time: 2 hours 30 min
Cook Time: 4 hours
Difficulty: Easy
Dry rub:
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown suga
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2-tablespoon cayenne
4 pound shoulder pork roast
2-cup apple juice
1-cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
1/2-tablespoon liquid smoke
1/2-tablespoon garlic powder
6 soft hamburger buns with seeds
Paula Deen BBQ Sauce
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Mix the dry rub ingredients in small bowl. Sprinkle dry rub all over the pork roast, pressing into the pork.
Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Combine liquid ingredients and the garlic powder in a medium bowl and pour into a large Dutch oven. Place pork in the oven and tightly cover with aluminum foil then lid. Roast for 4 hours or until fork tender and shreds easily.
Brush the roast with cooking liquid every hour.
Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Shred the pork with a fork or tongs into bite size pieces.
Serve on hamburger buns topped with BBQ sauce and cole slaw.
Tried this for the first time and it is fantastic! Make sandwiches, a pork platter, whatever. With or without the bbq sauce. First time I've had real pulled pork in years (left NC a long time ago). Highly recommend! Thanks Paula!
By JH on February 17, 2014
Made this according to the recipe and it came out so great that I decided to make it again for a party. This time I used my cast iron dutch oven and my big All-Clad stockpot for two 8 pound pork shoulders. Little did I know that the foil being in direct contact with the pork and the lid would cause a problem. The foil started to break down, almost a cross between looking melted and burned. Called my local grocer's meat department, and they said that the vinegar will definitely cause the foil to break down. The meat went in the trash, out of concern that this was a carcinogen and not safe for my guests to eat. I could see flecks of foil on the meat surface, and even read that it could cause a metal taste. If I make it again, I'll skip the foil and just use the lid.
By Anonymous on April 26, 2013
this has become a family favorite and we some times add BBQ sause but most of the time we just eat it with a little extra juice from the dutch oven. On the plate with cole slaw on the side. It is a very easy never fail recipe and we love it.

Malloy Misses Chance To Lead, Set Tone
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's state of the state address Wednesday began with notes of promise. It started with a meditation on the slaughter of innocents in Newtown last month. It would have been appropriate for the governor to devote his speech only to the tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

You can call the Briar Cliff women's basketball team road warriors.
And it couldn't be more true, especially considering their schedule this season.
The Chargers are playing just 11 games at the Newman Flanagan Center. The rest, are away games. 19 to be exact.
Through the first half of the season, BC is 12-3 with eight of those wins coming away from home.
The Chargers handed Benedictine College, which is ranked 22nd in the NAIA Division I poll, one of its only two losses on the season.
The women also cruised to a 13-point victory over then 8th ranked Grand View University back in November.
At home, the Chargers are 4-1, with their only loss coming to top ranked Concordia.
"That's a tough schedule for anyone in America. I truly don't believe there is another team in the top 10 that has the kind of schedule we have, as far as traveling goes, which makes it difficult," Head Coach Mike Power said. "Everyone knows, all coaches know, it's hard to win on the road and we're going to have to do that 19 times this year. We've passed the test in the first half, let's see how it happens in the second half."
The second half of the season begins with the Holiday Classic at Morningside where Briar Cliff will face Avila and Friends University.
After that, it's a grueling GPAC schedule which includes seven road games with match ups against the No. 3 Morningside, Nol 8 Northwestern and No.1 Concordia.
"You know it's always disappointing when you don't get to play at home all the time and have to play that many road games, but we could have stayed home and not played such competitive opponent," Senior Kela Cihak said. "In the long run, it's just going to make us better because we're playing the hard opponents all the time."
Holiday Classic Schedule at Morningside College
Friday, Dec. 28
1 p.m. Briar Cliff (W) vs. Avila
3 p.m. Briar Cliff (M) vs. Dakota State
5:30 p.m. Morningside (W) vs. Friends
7:30 p.m. Morningside (M) vs. Friends
Saturday, Dec. 29
1 p.m. Briar Cliff (W) vs. Friends
3 p.m. Briar Cliff (M) vs. Friends
5:30 p.m. Morningside (W) vs. Avila
7:30 p.m. Morningside (M) vs. Dakota State

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

This fanpost was edited and promoted to the front page by Tim Burke
Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-US PRESSWIRE
Malki Kawa is perhaps the most wellknown MMA manager around. Occasionally he has been scrutinized, but he also gets big deals for fighters. Two days ago, he tweeted this about his client, Alan Belcher:
Love talking to joe silva about possible fights for my clients. @alanbelcherufc is gonna get a big fight soon!— malki kawa (@malkikawa) July 13, 2012
This was tweeted just a day after UFC on Fuel TV 4, where Chris Weidman dominated #3 ranked middleweight, Mark Munoz, finishing him by second round knockout. A bout between Belcher and Weidman was speculated by some, and the timing of this tweet gives me the impression that it is very likely. I don't believe this is the right fight for either (if it actually is the fight Kawa is talking about), but it certainly is an interesting matchup of two young middleweights.
Belcher and his trainer, Duke Roufus, had recently taken to twitter to campaign for big fights earlier this month, namely Michael Bisping, but seeing as Bisping is set to fight Brian Stann at UFC 152, that leaves few other "big name" options. If a fight with Weidman is to materialize, it would be important to get it out to a wide audience, as the bout would clearly have title implications. Also, this fight would probably happen sooner than later, as neither fighter sustained much damage in their last fights.

During my two years in the House of Representatives, I have learned that too often outside influences govern legislation, rather than the wishes of the people of Idaho. I take pride in the fact that I listen to the people of Bannock County on issues that are important to them and have used my influence to promote what is good for my constituents. We won't be successful on every issue -- such is the nature of democracy -- but that doesn't mean I won't do everything I can for my constituents. Some of the important legislative priorities that I have championed are as follows:
As I continue my term in the Idaho Senate, I pledge to continue to listen to the people of Bannock County, and to continue to be an advocate for the middle class, children and the State of Idaho.

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the family of the late Hazel Monteith I wish to express gratitude to the editor and staff of the Jamaica Observer for your kind expressions of comfort on the passing of my mother Hazel Monteith.

We also acknowledge the attendance of your staff at the thanksgiving service for her life and also for the pictorial and feature in Life Tributes.
God bless your organisation.

Most sites only offer a partial RSS feed as it is, and this is not an indicator that things are going to change around here in any other way. That's it; move along, there's nothing to see here.
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

I catch the new articles in a RSS reader, but then always come here to read. Am I right in thinking that the all the articles will still be shown, but just have a very short summary of the article, first sentance or whatever.
Congrat's on the award!
That's correct — titles and first few sentences. I probably should have explained that better!
Hamish on 01.31.11 @ 6:06PM
Please give a good amount of detail – enough for the reader to determine if they wish to click through. I've seen a few blogs go to excerpts only, and their excerpts are uninformative and cryptic so I stopped reading at all.
Love your content!
Thanks for the suggestion, Hamish. Unfortunately this is controlled by WordPress and is very difficult to change — it's one of my (few) pet peeves with WP, actually. Hope it's enough for you!
From my experience, I think you actually have complete control over the excerpts (unless you're using a version of WordPress that's several versions old). If you don't define an excerpt, then WordPress relies on the "automatic excerpt" function, which selects the first 55 words in the post.
Check out this, from the WordPress Codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt):
"To add an excerpt to a post, simply write one in the Excerpt field under the post edit box. An excerpt can be as short or as long as you wish. Usually, given its purpose, a couple of sentences is fine."
"When a post has no manual excerpt and the post template uses the the_excerpt() template tag, WordPress generates an excerpt automatically by selecting the first 55 words of the post."
Aha! Forgot about that. I will do my best to do manual excerpts (everything up until the "More"), which is what I wanted to do in the first place. Still, it'd be nice if you could do this automatically instead of manually. Splitting hairs, I suppose.
Jeff Pedersen on 01.31.11 @ 6:11PM
Please explain to us the reason for this. I follow 10 different Video sites on top of all of my news sites. As a fellow techie and artist, I will have to pair down if sites require me to go to their site to navigate. It's all about convenience. I was under the impression that you can embed ads in the RSS feed and that upon viewing each article it counts as a page view as it has to query your surver for the article. I don't mean to whine, but if gimping your RSS feed is so you can make money and stay in business thats fine, just disclose that. Thanks.
Yes, you can insert ads in the RSS feed, but it's complicated and doesn't always work. Plus, people very rarely ever click on ads when they're in an RSS reader, in my experience. So, yes, that's the reason for the change — because folks pay to run ads here, I can't very well give away the whole post ad-free when someone else is effectively sponsoring the site. If I could simply insert the ads into the feed, I would, but as I said, it's a bit more complicated than that.
The feed should still be very convenient — the titles and excerpts should let you know if the full post is something you're going to read. I hope! This excerpt-only approach is already true of most large sites; I will certainly look into keeping the feed full, but integrating the ads into the feed is not something I'm qualified to address personally.
Kevin I. Slaughter on 01.31.11 @ 8:09PM
just a note of dissent. I understand the reason, maybe it'll work out for you better this way, but not for me. Especially if I click through and am greeted by a giant pop-up ad every time I want to read a post.
That pop-up should only show up once a month at most. And it's not like the feed is going away completely… I see your points, and I'll look into other options, but let's just see how it works out for the time being.
This sucks! It might be a small audience but it is also a dedicated audience.
David Fulde on 01.31.11 @ 11:45PM
Okay, that's fine. I use more of an RSS updater (Using the rockmelt browser, just in the tab) so it won;t change anything for me :)
Kirill on 02.1.11 @ 5:13AM
Don`t be evil.
If there is small number of peaple who read via RSS it will not change anything.
Bryan on 02.1.11 @ 11:30AM
It's kinda cute when people complain about free things, isn't it? :)
Lisa Clarkson on 02.4.11 @ 4:05AM
Yeah, can you believe when all those folks got mad that Gmail went down? What a bunch of jerks. It's kinda cute when someone tweaks his business model and it has consequences in his user base, isn't it? :)
OMG! When did people become so frickin' greedy!! Koo, you do an amazing job and I can honestly say reading your blog has greatly helped my career (as I'm sure it has for many of your readers)! And the fact that you've been so generous should not be wasted on any of us. I can attest that you have saved me hundreds (if not thousands of dollars in man hours and knowledge) so those people complaining should see about enrolling in film school, and then really have some money prob's to complain about! Keep up the excellent work Man. And THANK YOU! P3p0
maghoxfr on 02.1.11 @ 8:52PM
Man, I can't believe people is so offended by this. This site gives away lots of info and an AWESOME, nicely designed DSLR guide like noone else online, and all people can think about is: "no way I'm opening a tab on my browser to read the article because it wastes 10 seconds of my time"??? I use a feed reader but always click on the articles of the feeds I like just because I find that way more practical.I think that if this is the best for nofilmschool, it's fine by me.
Or a better idea, you can tell the people against this the budget all the ads pays you and ask them to pay it instead. That way everybody wins, they still get to read your blog on their precious feed reader, and you still get the same amount. Perfect! ;)
Ajit on 02.3.11 @ 12:28PM
The content is free. Duh! It doesn't mean there is not a right way to do things. I have supported this site in both linking and donating to it. It is not like I don't appreciate what is being published here. But the point of having a feed is not to have to go to the site. You can have ads in your rss feeder if you want to make a penny off that audience. I usually find that people who use RSS are usually bloggers. They will repay the pageviews you might lose out by directly linking to you.
And if it is such a small audience that goes through an rss feed, then what is the motivation for making this switch.
If people are paying to run ads against your content, in my opinion you shouldn't give it away sans ads — what are the sponsors paying for, then?
Also, I find that the images and videos are often unformatted in the RSS feed and it makes for an ugly post — not what I intended. My hope is that the excerpt will be enough for someone to know if they want to read the full post, and clicking through to the site from an RSS reader is not very different from home page visitors clicking "More" in the first place.
Mark D on 02.3.11 @ 3:58PM
I read the blog through google reader mainly from my phone. I'll definitely miss having the whole article to read inside it. Will probably not read articles that I otherwise would have now. I totally understand the reason for making the switch, but yeah, sad day for me.
Russell Steen on 02.4.11 @ 1:42PM
With Netflix, ESPN live streaming and my DVD player, I go for weeks without turning on the TV, and when I do, the number, content, and awkward placement of the commercials really grates, and I just turn it off. I can see that advertisers will soon all switch to the internet where it is easier to target an audience and measure the response, but when I am forced to wait for an ad to play I can't help but think it's because of idiots who can't figure out why TV audiences are shrinking. Instead of taking advantage of the ability to make ads that viewers will want to, and thus voluntarily watch, there are still those using the "hold em hostage and blast em all over and over" method. We come to these sites to be informed (and entertained) with the ability to control and respond to what we see, not to be put on hold and delivered to sponsors. You must be careful not to lose the viewers your advertisers want to pay you for.
I'm not putting anyone "on hold" here at NFS! There are no interstitial advertisements or anything that forces someone to wait to access the content — there are simply ads that run alongside the content, and those are absolutely necessary — without them, the site would not exist (long term, at least). Tis a small price to pay (nothing, in fact), in my opinion…

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Well, its not as crazy as Black Friday, but the final Saturday before Christmas, coined as "Super Saturday," certainly brought the masses out.
"Oh my God it has been really hectic we are trying to find some of the last minute things and we've found some sales this morning, said shopper Gwen Haynes."
Northpark Mall and Academy Sports and Outdoors, swarmed with last minute shoppers.
"It's almost like people realize that hey there's only seven days left, six days left, five days left and this is my last weekend, said Academy Sports and Outdoor, Store Director Steve Finch."
Many folks had great luck finding items on their Christmas List, while others weren't so lucky.
" I think they're out of the Moxe make-over doll and I was looking for that yesterday at Wal-mart and couldn't find it, said shopper Rita Fritz."
At Target toys and electronics are the big selling items this Christmas. But, if you're looking for popular electronic items like the Wii Fit and XBox 360 Kinnects you might be out of luck buying them in the store. Most of the hot selling electronics are sold out.
X-Box Kinnects are so popular. Corporate officials from target are shipping a load of them out on a 747 to distribution centers across the country Sunday.
"If you're not here right when we open you might not get them, said Alan Wise of Target.
If you are a last minute shopper, there is some good news in store. Some of the shoppers we spoke to say deals this weekend are the best they've seen this holiday season.
"Compared to last week, a lot of 30, 40, 50 percent off sales, red tag sales and stuff like that, so it is a bargain, said shopper Sylvia Spires."
"Don't wait until the last minute every yea, added Haynes."

Congress' chief watchdog said that the U.S. prisoner swap involving Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl violated two laws in a report issued Thursday.
Smile already, America. Your commander in chief is in the driver's seat.
"If the economy was growing, the border was controlled, the Middle East was stabilizing and there were no outbreaks of violence in the streets of major American cities, no one would comment on the number of golf games President Obama played."
As has been the case with so many crises that have faced America during Obama's time in the White House, it appears the president has learned about the Missouri Governor calling the National Guard to Ferguson on the news.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to quell a politically charged controversy, the Obama administration announced new measures Friday to allow religious nonprofits and some companies to opt out of paying for birth control for female employees while still ensuring those employees have access to contraception.
There are some things only brilliant intellectuals can believe.
The Chicago Cubs grounds crew lost a little bit of dignity and the players came very close to losing a game Tuesday night, partly thanks to Obamacare.
A sinkhole outside a Pittsburgh-area tanning salon has opened up to Red Alert Politics in an exclusive interview, saying its reason for coming into being was "an act of protest" that had been "bubbling up" since the implementation of a punitive Obamacare tax in 2010.
The most anti-email administration in American history is at it again, with a federal healthcare agency writing Wednesday that emails sought in a congressional investigation into Healthcare.gov may be irretrievable.

He was a Pope for 33 yrs.
There is too much info about what he DID NOT do for so many clergy abuse victims.
Countless priests and other clergy were protected under his reign. The list or the paper trail is a fact that cannot be ignored yet according to the Vatican it's like it never happened.
Yes in many ways he was a good person but he also led a double life and now he gets a free pass towards sainthood.
Another fact people do not know about this man, this Pope use to FLAGELLATE himself. In other words: whip himself.
A priest told me it was true that Pope John Paul did this because he was a mystic and he said he was glad he was not himself a mystic.
That priest gave me a silly answer.
If you heard or knew someone who cut him or herself or use a whip would you not think this person needed some medical help?
Pope John II was a Pope but making him a saint is just a big public relation move on the Vatican's part.
What is sad is that so many Roman Catholics will buy into the sainthood of this pontiff and the Vatican stands to make a lot of money on it.

The Vikings released Koren Robinson today, ridding themselves of a player whose off field conduct had made him a liablity to the team. By doing so, the Vikings finally freed themselves of players with off the field issues.
Actually no, they didn't. Of course they didn't. What was I thinking?
The same day they released Robinson, Dwight Smith managed to get in trouble for indecent conduct.
Seriously people, what is wrong with this organization? They can't go one week without some kind of humiliating off the field issue. As soon as one is resolved, another pops up, and so one ad infinitum.
And no, this isn't righteous anger--I'm just tired of all the crap. That, however, doesn't mean I won't be making indecent conduct jokes. You can mark my words--they are coming. Oh man, are they coming.
[I'll have a recap and analysis of the Vikings thrashing of the Ravens up at my site, The Ragnarok on Sunday night/Monday morning, so make sure to stop by--I promise it'll be as much fun as celebrating a win with Dwight Smith. Wisconsin women for EVERYBODY!]

Brief mention in the Boston GlobeFriday, July 31st, 2009
From "MBTA announces latest arrival: Google mapping tool for riders":
But not everyone at yesterday's news conference was trumpeting the partnership. Jonathan Kamens, 39, of Brighton said Google Maps's public transit routes are faulty because they rely on schedules provided by the MBTA, which are sometimes wrong.
Kamens, a software engineer, said his complaints to T officials have gone unaddressed for years, which drove him to pass out fliers questioning the deal.
Lisa Rivera, a spokeswoman for the MBTA, said that the authority was unaware of his complaints but that officials would look into them.
"We have an extensive planning and scheduling department and employees who are constantly updating our system,'' she said.
It's unfortunate that the reporter said I am concerned about inaccurate "schedules," when in fact that I am concerned about inaccurate routes, which is a rather more serious problem. If the schedule's wrong, then you might have to wait longer than expected for a bus, but if the route is wrong, then the bus you're waiting for might never show up.
MBTA Transit Police threaten to arrest me for distributing flyers to reporters at Google Transit press conferenceThursday, July 30th, 2009
As planned, I went to South Station about a half hour before the press conference scheduled to announce that Boston (finally!) had been added to Google Transit. Upon arrival, I started talking to reporters and handing out flyers.
I was quickly confronted by Daniel Dombak, a Marketing Director for Equity Office (which manages South Station), and informed that I was on private property and couldn't distribute flyers without a permit.
"Are you going to arrest me and drag me out of the station for handing out flyers to reporters?" I asked him.
"No, of course we're not going to drag you out of the building," he responded, but in fact that's exactly what he intended to do.
A few minutes later, a Transit Police officer approached me and informed me that I was not allowed to distribute written materials on MBTA property without a permit. We went back and forth for several rounds with me trying to get her to explain in plain English what would happen if I continued to distribute flyers. She finally claimed that yes, if I continued to distribute the flyers after being asked to stop, I would be arrested. The police officer, against whom I have no complaint because she was just doing her job, informed me that of course I could talk to reporters as much as I wanted; I just couldn't hand them pieces of paper.
MBTA routes are now in Google Maps, but they're still wrong!Thursday, July 30th, 2009
MBTA route information has just become available in Google Maps (both Web-based and Google Maps Mobile). Google and the MBTA are planning on formally debuting it at a press conference at South Station in an hour or so.
I checked, and the data that the MBTA gave to Google has the same errors I've been complaining to the T about for over six years.
Since South Station is a short walk from where I work, I'll be paying a visit and handing out this flyer to any reporters I find there:
If I'm lucky maybe I'll even get to shout out a question to Dan Graubaskas and ask what he's planning on doing about the fact that the routes given out by Google Maps are wrong because of incorrect data provided by the T.
MBTA customer service continues to excel (not!)Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Last year, when I complained in writing to the T about receiving no response to the email messages I'd sent through their "Write to the Top" program, I received a response from Kevin McGuire telling me that if I continued to have this problem, I should contact James Monahan at a specific email address or telephone number.
On July 10, I emailed Monahan at the address McGuire gave me to complain about the fact that John Houghton, the superintendent of the Cabot Bus Garage, had not responded to complaints I'd sent on July 6, 7, and 9.
My email message to Monahan bounced with "User unknown". I can't say I was surprised.
A well-deserved rebuke at an appropriate time of yearTuesday, July 28th, 2009
I've recently started bicycling to and from work again after a very, very long hiatus.
My route home from work takes me past the Boston Public Garden:
Because Boylston and Arlington are both one-way the wrong way, I have to make a loop around the Public Garden by taking Charles to Beacon to Arlington.
Or, at least, I would have to do that if I weren't doing this instead:
That is, I was cutting through the Public Garden. That would be fine if it weren't for the "no bicycles" sign posted at the Garden's entrance.
I rationalized what I was doing: "I ride slowly and carefully… I always yield right-of-way to pedestrians… I'm not hurting anybody." Given how much I hate it when other people pull shtik like that, I was being a grade-A hypocrite.
Well, today my hypocrisy came home to roost. As I was slowly and carefully riding through the Garden, a crotchety old guy stepped in front of my bicycle, forced me to stop, and then proceeded to chew me out, with a lecture that began with, "Can't you read!?"
I argued with him, because accepting criticism from strangers is not one of my (nor, I would imagine, most people's) strengths.
But he was right, of course.
Although I can't thank the crotchety old guy, I can say there that I'm grateful to him for reminding me to live up to my own standards. Thanks to him, starting tomorrow, I'll be "taking the long way home."
The three weeks leading up to the Jewish fast day on the Ninth of Av, and especially in the eight days preceding the fast, are supposed to be used, among other things, as a period of introspection, self-examination, and conscious effort to improve one's middot, i.e., one's behavior toward one's fellow man and toward society. Whether I ride through or around the Garden may seem trivial, but in fact, no aspect of one's conduct in this world is truly trivial, and I'm grateful for the reminder.
City of Boston converts our block to resident only parking without our knowledge, desire or consentFriday, May 15th, 2009
May 15, 2009
Dear Mayor Menino,
I have lived at __ ___ Street in Brighton for almost twelve years.
I came out of my house this morning and found a BTD employee posting "resident parking only" signs on our block.
I do not understand why the residents of our block were not consulted about whether there was a need or desire for resident-only parking before converting our street.
I do not understand why we were not notified that this change was going to take place.
I do not understand why this change was made. There was no need. It is rarely impossible to find a parking space on our block, or at worst on the adjoining block, even on street-cleaning days when we can only park on one side of the street.
We have frequent visitors; we want them to be able to park near our house.
The Belgian Honorary Consul to the city of Boston lives two houses down from us and has regular visitors for consulate business. I doubt they will appreciate being unable to park near his house.
I called your constituent services hotline about this, and they transferred me to the public works department, which then tried to transfer me to the transportation department, whose line was busy. I should not have been transferred in the first place; I want your office to solve this problem, not brush me off onto someone else. And as for the transportation department's telephone line being busy, have you folks ever heard of voicemail? Do you think I have time to keep calling the transportation department's number all day until I just happen to get through?
Please take down these signs and give the residents of the street the opportunity to weigh in on whether they are needed before putting them back up.
Thank you,
Jonathan Kamens

The 'Pothole Killer' arrived in Cleveland early Tuesday morning and wasted no time getting straight to work.
19 Action News was on scene with the truck on Lorain and Clark shortly after 7 a.m.
The 'Pothole Killer' is a massive truck, and attached to the front of the truck is an arm with a nozzle that shoots out everything needed to patch the potholes. First, the nozzle blows out high pressured air that cleans the hole, then it shoots out liquid asphalt followed by the aggregate to fill the hole. It's then topped off with a layer of recycled tires that adheres and acts as a barrier patch.
19 Action News first reported about the pothole killer over a year ago, there was resistance on Cleveland City Council to buying the machines. So now, they've rented them for a test project.
100 hours of 'Pothole Killer' time has been rented at a cost of $225 an hour. Renting the machine is a more cost effective way of getting the work done. To buy it would be about $350,000.
Brunswick has also enlisted the help of the 'Pothole Killer' to repair city streets for the last two years.

Tulane cornerback Jordan Sullen was carted off with an injury in the third quarter of the New Orleans Bowl. While attempting to make a tackle, he slipped and was accidentally kicked in the head by UL Lafayette player Elijah McGuire.
Sullen, a senior, has 44 tackles and 12 passes defensed this season.
Sullen slumped and remained motionless for several minutes as trainers surrounded him. He was eventually loaded onto a cart, where he was visibly alert and gesturing to his teammates.
He was checked for a neck injury, but was found to be completely fine, according to ESPN's Jeannine Edwards. He is reportedly being taken with his family to nearby Tulane Medical Center, for precautionary reasons.
Observing the scene was Devon Walker, a former Green Wave player who was paralyzed last season and has remained with the team. Walker was interviewed by ESPN just moments before the play.

" All Re-Mixed Up is the continuation of the Puscifer tradition to release alternate versions, reworks, and remixes of what we consider initial thoughts," says Keenan in a statement.

The internet gives today's teenagers the kind of freedom that driving a car gave teens in previous generations. But unlike learning to drive a car, kids today can teach themselves to navigate the internet. Growing up in Key West in the 70′s and 80′s, I didn't have a car or the internet. However, I quickly understood the power of networking.
The ability to seek and find people, places, and things can have as much if not more impact than mobility from automobiles. And, just as with cars, good and bad comes with the "license." Think of the good the internet can do for the police assisting 911 callers, a parent keeping up with a teenager, or a principal searching for a truant student. Or consider the bad aspects of a crazed ex-girlfriend stalking an unknowing ex-boyfriend, or a child molester waiting for parents to leave their children unattended.
Parallel parking seems simple, but takes years to perfect, however, the gaming industry exponentially produces high concept high skill activities for your entire body that completely engage, absorb, and hypnotize players. Traveling at 80 mph in a car or online is exhilarating, scary and fast!
Recently, I met a 14-year-old entrepreneur who customizes Xbox controllers for hardcore players. He was taking a film and production graduate course alongside me to learn how to improve his editing skills in his own gaming efforts and to speed his score acceleration. He sought out this skill set; he didn't wait for school to teach him. Read the rest of this entry »

An additional five task orders have been issued by the U.S. Forest Service to the new Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI).
A total of 8,541 acres have been added to the contractor Good Earth Power AZ, LLC., which was issued the contract for 300,000 acres back in May 2012.
On Sept. 16, the Mercer Task Order was added for 952 acres in the Tonto National Forest. Four task orders were also issued for Coconino National Forest. Those orders include Elk Park for 2,901 acres, Clark for 1,684 acres, Bobs for 2,017 acres and Weatherford for 1,017 acres.
According to the Forest Service, a total of 15,219 acres of task orders have been issued across Tonto, Coconino, Apache-Sitgreaves, and Kaibab National Forests under 4FRI.
The Forest Services reports that so far 600 acres have been completed in the Apache-Sitgreaves.
The restoration of the forests in northern Arizona is supposed to help improve ecological resilience and function of the 2.4 million acres of the Ponderosa Pine forests.

It's equipped with computers, lounges, meeting rooms, even a cafe.
The South County Library is becoming a gem for Roanoke County. While books still fill the shelves, the new facility is about much more.
"Libraries are no longer just a box of books," said Richard Caywood, Roanoke County's Assistant Administrator. "Now people expect programming, a lot of computer services."
Caywood, who is heavily involved in the new Vinton Library project, said both South County and the recently opened Glenvar libraries have seen a jump in visitors compared to their former locations.
"I do think that the public is certainly enjoying the new facilities," he said. "We do look at libraries as a core service of county government."
But it's a service that isn't cheap.
It cost more than $16 million to build South County and more than $6 million to build Glenvar.
Plus, there's the new Vinton Library where construction will begin in the spring.
That comes with a price tag of more than $9 million.
In all, more than $31 million in taxpayer money has or will be spent on building new libraries.
"You've got to build your infrastructure. You've got to build for the future and I think it's going to pay dividends for many, many years to come," said Roanoke County Supervisor Butch Church, a strong advocate of the projects.
Church said he understands some of the criticism given the high cost, but added the libraries serve as community centers and economic drivers.
"I really believe when we have outside organizations coming in here, companies, (and) they're looking for places like this in the community," he said.
Places that come with a hefty price, but are expected to serve the community for years to come.
Roanoke County is spending tens of millions of dollars to build several new libraries.
Over the last two years, South County and Glenvar libraries opened their doors.
Construction on a third project, the Vinton library, is already underway.
When all is said and done the county will have spent more than $31 million in taxpayer money.
Assistant County Administrator Richard Caywood said the libraries have been well received.
"I do think that the public is certainly enjoying the new facilities," Caywood said. "We do look at libraries as a core service of county government."
Coming up tonight on WSLS 10 at 6 p.m.,we'll take a closer look at the projects and why the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors said it's money well spent.

Folks, I don't want to make a big deal about this, but Roger Maris is the single-season homerun champion in my mind. That record means the same thing to Chris Davis, who's on pace to possibly break that record of 61 set by Maris in 1961.
The Orioles have 66 games remaining this season and David only needs 25 more homeruns to break the record. I think he can do it.
Davis knocked his 37th homerun of the season on Sunday, tying him with Reggie Jackson's AL mark of 37 homers before the break, set in 1969. It was also the fourth straight game he's homered in.
"Superhuman," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "He's having some kind of year. I saw him a little bit when he was in Texas coming up. He could always hit home runs. He got his opportunity here to play every day and he's taken advantage of it. It's pretty impressive."
Impressive, to me, would be an understatement. Davis, apart from Miguel Cabrera, is having one of the greatest season's from a power hitter that we've seen for quite some time.
He's already set a career high with his 37 dingers, lapsing his mark of 33 he set last season, to go along with the 93 runs he's driven in this year.
"I think it's something definitely to be proud of," Davis said. "It means I've been doing my job, but it also speaks volumes about the guys in front of me getting on base and really swinging the bats well."
It's not that Davis never had power, so anyone who is suspicious he's doping can quiet down, he was just never good at hitting.
He's become more patient at the plate, with his walk rate is up 3.2 percent from last year. Probably one of the biggest parts of his game is the ability to drive the ball to the opposite field -- 11 of his 37 home runs are classified as opposite field, most in the majors.
When he puts the ball in play to the opposite field, his .537 average ranks behind only Jason Kipnis (.566) in batting average on balls put in play the other way.
His evolution as a hitter has come a long way and his brute strength is what is putting balls over the fence at such an astonishing rate, leading many to believe that Maris' record won't be safe much longer.
Though many could argue Davis is setting himself up for the same type of regression that Jackson saw after his 37 homerun performance in the first half of the 1969 season.
Jackson's power production fell off dramatically in the second half, hitting only 10 homeruns for the rest of the season, leaving at him 47, which was his career high. He said that he cracked under the mounting pressure of breaking Maris' record.
But Davis isn't a young player like Jackson was and his experience might help play along with some of the advantages he has over Reggie.
David plays in Camden Yards, a ballpark that is known to very hitter friendly, especially when the ball is hit into the power alleys. Jackson played in Oakland, a notoriously big ballpark and one much tougher to hit homeruns in.
Although there is one thing that could cause Davis to not reach the 62 plateau. Orioles manager Buck Showalter has Davis batting fifth in the O's lineup. That will cost Davis plate appearances over the season -- an estimated 30 over the entire year, if he was hitting third instead of fifth -- and those 30 missing PAs could be the difference between 59 and 62.
Now the record books may say that Barry Bonds holds the record with 73* homeruns in 2001, but in the minds of many baseball's fans including myself, Roger Maris hit 61 in 1961 and no one else has since hit more.
If Davis is within striking distance when late September rolls around, then I'll be cheering him on more than ever to reach the number that really matters, in 61 homeruns.

Keeping it safe: Police plan to add officers to Halloween night patrol in Bird Rock in La Jolla
From BRCC Reports
The San Diego Police Department will have a strong presence throughout Bird Rock again this Halloween with both uniformed and undercover officers and a command post to encourage good and lawful behavior. The Bird Rock Community Council, along with the BRCC Neighborhood Watch Program, will also have additional off-duty officers working as security guards during Halloween.
The Community Council recommends trick-or-treating only from 5 to 8 p.m. Homeowners are requested to shut off their porch lights at 8 p.m. to signal the end of the trick-or-treating period. Pumpkins should also be brought in for safekeeping. If you leave your front porch light on all night, remember to turn it back on prior to retiring for the evening.
When trick-or-treating:
• Know where your children are at all times;
• Use a flashlight and light colored/reflective clothing;
• Walk in a group and report suspicious or illegal activity to the police;
• Inspect all candy before consuming it.
Remember police will be enforcing the following laws:
• The Social Host Ordinance will hold responsible any adult who is hosting a gathering (3 or more people) where even one minor consumes alcohol.
• The consumption of alcohol is not permitted on public streets.
• Vandalism includes defacing property and damaging decorations and pumpkins.

We break down Week 1 spreads (well, sort of)
The Raiders made a serious mistake dumping Tom Cable. We like a guy who wants to do it his way, but Al Davis would rather get credit for losing than see someone else get credit for winning. It's sad. The Broncos, on the other hand, did what they should have done instead of hiring Josh McDaniels. They hired a guy who was once canned by Davis to replace a guy who was once canned by Davis. You can't buy that kind of motivation.

first 1.01 going down at the French Open?
Poor performance from Wawrinka against an ordinary Frenchman. Didn't appear injured in the limited coverage I saw. Not much done at 1.01 but plenty close to that. Five sets on clay takes a long time. The match isn't over yet, if Stan comes back, Devilder has been matched at 1.07 and below for £130k.

AMANA (KWWL) - Whirlpool officials say a $20 million financial support package will allow them to step up efficiency, productivity, and put people back to work at their Amana facility.
After experiencing layoffs due to a poor economy, vice president of Whirlpool's Amana division, Dan Smith, has seen a rebound in business.
"I think we have absolutely seen some improvement in the appliance industry," said Smith in an interview Thursday.
That's led Iowa's Department of Economic Development and Iowa County to pledge a total of $8 million to Whirlpool's Amana factory. Iowa County has promised $1.5 million in tax incremental financing, and Whirlpool will cover $12 million. The remaining $6.5 million from the state is a forgivable loan.
"The loan from the state is predicated upon Whirlpool following through in terms of making the improvements on the plant that they're going to make," said John Bickel, IDED board member.
Those improvements include new technology for the plant, and energy-efficient lighting.
"We've actually done some test areas in the plant where we've replaced lighting, and seen some significant reduction in electrical usage, which is expense, but also a significant improvement at the same time in the quality of light and amount of light we have," explained Smith.
Another part of the agreement is for Whirlpool to maintain its current 1,600 jobs at the Amana facility, plus another 300 to 400 employees of its Iowa-based suppliers. Smith says 90 seasonal jobs should open at the factory in the next few weeks. Another 60 positions resulting from the financial support will become available mid-year.
The facility will also take over production of an ice maker, previously made at Whirlpool's plant in Evansville, Indiana. Production on the appliance should begin later this year.

On Monday, not only was it Opening Day for the A's and most of major league baseball, but it was also the NCAA championship, and NBA and NHL continue to trudge along. What's a sports fan to do? I gave it some thought, and put together my own priority list, and of course the A's are all over the place. Do you have a Top 5 or a Top 10? I might be nuts, with 15, but it'd be great to see your take on how you choose on sports scenario over another... (Originally posted here)
1. The World Series (With A's participating)
Clearly the holy grail. My lifelong favorite team playing on the big stage.
1a and 1b would be other playoff games involving the Oakland A's.
2. NCAA basketball tournament (With Cal participating)
Again, the national stage, rooting for the blue and gold.
2a would be a bowl game with the Cal Bears football team.
3. Opening Day of baseball
This is exciting stuff. Kicking off the season knowing you can follow the teams day in and day out the rest of the way. Also, at this point, all teams have a chance to win it all.
4. The Super Bowl
I don't have a preferred football team, honestly. I rooted for the San Francisco 49ers as a kid, but that time is long gone. Still, the spectacle of the Super Bowl is unmatched.
5. The Big Game (Cal vs. Stanford)
It's a storied rivalry 100+ years in the making. Cal has the axe and intends to keep it.
6. NBA Playoffs (With the Sacramento Kings participating)
I can skip this process this year. The Kings are horrible. That will reduce conflict with baseball now, I guess.
7. The World Series (Any two teams)
Only if the Yankees are playing does it really diminish the game, but baseball's the best sport, and each game marks history.
8. Any Oakland A's game
I will watch any A's game, regardless of their record, over the playoffs of most leagues. Baseball and the A's are simply superior.
9. Any Cal football game
We've had season tickets for the last three years. The tradition. The band. Oski. Go Bears!
10. Select Olympic events
Track and Field events in the Olympics can be dramatic. Heck, even gymnastics can keep you riveted for every one-tenth of a point, or in rooting for the random Romanian to take a header off the beam. On the flip side, there are a ton of events that could go away and nobody would notice.
11. The NCAA tournament final
There's something exciting about the buildup of 65 teams fighting for a single championship, winner takes all.
12. Any Sacramento Kings NBA game
There's something wrong with me. For some reason, I still root for this team.
13. Any baseball game between any two clubs
I'd rather listen to the radio play by play of the Marlins vs. Phillies than watch the NHL ever, the NFL or NBA on most nights.
14. NFL Playoffs
The march down to the Super Bowl
15. Other
Insert here: The NBA Playoffs, random NFL Sunday contests, the occasional Cal basketball match, San Jose Sharks games in person.
So that's the priority list. If established, and acted upon correctly, if there are multiple games on at once, you know where you can find me. If it's A's baseball, I'll be there, with very few exceptions. But my loyalty to the Cal Golden Bears and Sacramento Kings isn't far behind.
That's why you can find me on almost any night on Athletics Nation, Sactown Royalty, or making my picks on BallHype. Spring and summer were made for sports, and the action is heating up.
