Streamlined housing crisis center slated for Berkeley
A new one-stop homelessness services shop is in the works in Berkeley.
Announced Tuesday night, the city is changing the way it funds programs offered in town, to prioritize the people with the highest needs, in line with a federal mandate to streamline services into a coordinated system.
The city is looking to create a central office where anyone seeking services will begin the process. Currently, there are too many entry points, as well as duplicative services and a mis-match between those who receive the highest level of assistance and those who needs it most, staff said Tuesday at a work session with the Berkeley City Council.
The city spends about $3 million a year on a range of programs. That is not set to change. But how the money is divvied up, and exactly which types of services receive money, will be different. Unlike the current system, programs will have to fit into set categories to qualify for city support. … Continue reading »

Berkeley to look at residential permit parking citywide
The Berkeley City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to study whether permit parking might be needed in more residential neighborhoods throughout the city, and whether the cost to buy those permits should increase.
To be included, residents would have to opt in to the program by garnering the support of at least 51% of homes per block face. In addition, a parking survey would need to show that at least 75% of available street parking is occupied at mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Council will set the boundaries but it is residents themselves who will determine which blocks will participate.
Parking in West Berkeley, particularly around Fourth Street and the city Corporation Yard on Allston Way, has been an area of concern for officials, as are blocks near Sacramento Street where many city staff reportedly park.
The city hopes to learn — via a new environmental study — where it might make the most sense to expand the permit parking program. Berkeley currently has 14 permit (RPP) zones in central Berkeley, most of which are near commercial areas. Via the staff report, "The existing RPP zones are bounded roughly on the north by Rose, Hopkins and Eunice Streets; on the east by UC Berkeley; on the south by Woolsey and part of 62nd Street; and on the west by Sacramento and Chestnut Streets."

$750K grant may bring big changes to South Berkeley
The city of Berkeley is hoping to dramatically rethink many elements of South Berkeley, thanks to a $750,000 planning grant it received from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in May.
South Shattuck Avenue and nearly 1 mile of Adeline Street in South Berkeley might see more affordable housing, pedestrian- and bike-friendly neighborhoods, more park areas, a new theater, mass transit improvements, and more.
Those are just some of the ideas that have been proposed so far. Before any plan is adopted, officials will hold community meetings and do other outreach to gather ideas from residents, businesses and local groups and institutions. The grant will also permit Berkeley to do an environmental study, the city said earlier this year. (That study would "allow streamlined CEQA review for future projects on Adeline and south Shattuck Avenue," according to project materials.) … Continue reading »

Domino's wins approval to open in South Berkeley
A new Domino's Pizza shop promising artisan options and a place for customers to watch pizzas being crafted won approval Tuesday night from the Berkeley City Council to open in South Berkeley after a lengthy battle with some of its neighbors.
Owners of the family-run pizza franchise have been trying to open at 3264 Adeline St. since late 2013, but have faced multiple appeals by opponents. City staff initially approved the application in January, but it was appealed by Houshmand Ghaderi, who owns The Vault Cafe, nearby at 3250 Adeline.
Ghaderi took issue with a parking waiver granted by the city to Domino's and said he didn't think the corporate chain would be a good fit with the neighborhood, which has been on the upswing in recent years.
The city Zoning Adjustments Board approved the Domino's application unanimously in April, but Ghaderi again appealed. His appeal was rejected by the Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night. … Continue reading »
Free pot for the poor: Berkeley council codifies what many cannabis dispensaries already doing
Berkeley's medical marijuana dispensaries must provide 2% of their cannabis free of charge to very low-income residents under a law passed unanimously by the City Council earlier this month.
Individual patients who make under $32,000, or families that earn less than $46,000, qualify for the complimentary cannabis. The law further requires that the free marijuana "be the same quality on average as Medical Cannabis that is dispensed to other members."
"We were happy with that," said Charley Pappas, a member of the city's Medical Cannabis Commission. "It gets the council and the mayor focusing on patients. There should be access to the best medicine and the poorest people shouldn't be excluded." … Continue reading »
Surveillance camera registry a possibility for police
The city of Berkeley will explore whether a database of private security cameras might help police solve crime more efficiently after a Berkeley City Council majority vote Tuesday night.
Under the proposal, citizens could report camera locations to the Berkeley Police Department. Police would create a registry, which would allow officers to call camera owners quickly should a crime take place. Citizens would not be required to talk to police, and officers would not have instant access to the footage.
Council members Gordon Wozniak and Susan Wengraf, who asked in their proposal for the city manager to study the issue, said it is clear to anyone reading the weekly crime round-up on this website exactly how much crime takes place in Berkeley and where it happens. … Continue reading »
Officials agree to study Tasers for Berkeley police
A Berkeley City Council majority voted Tuesday night to look closely at whether local police should one day be trained and equipped to use Tasers.
About a dozen people asked city officials not to allow police to have the weapon, while approximately the same number — most of whom were Berkeley Police officers — said they were in favor of the city studying the issue.
Many officers pleaded with the city to move forward on the proposal from three council members to study the possibility of Tasers in Berkeley. Officers have said data show that departments with Tasers have seen fewer "use of force" complaints, fewer injuries to officers and suspects, and reduced costs associated with on-the-job injuries.
Community members against Tasers said police have enough weapons, that Berkeley doesn't have enough crime to justify adding another one, and that there are too many risks associated with Taser shocks. They cited the possibility of pre-existing medical conditions that could increase health risks, as well as concerns about the disproportionate use of Tasers on minorities, the poor and people in mental health crisis. … Continue reading »
Drone technology in Berkeley may see further study
Tuesday evening, the Berkeley City Council delved into the sticky issue of drone regulation, and plans to take an even deeper look at the related ramifications at some point in the future.
The council held a special work session — with no action planned, and none taken — to hear from three city panels that considered drone technology after local officials asked them to offer feedback on it in late 2012.
Two of those bodies came out in support of making Berkeley a "no drone zone," while the third said drones should be available for the city to use in case of emergency with appropriate oversight. … Continue reading »

Judge plans to rule today on Berkeley redistricting lines
Update, 4:30 p.m. The judge has ruled in favor of using the council-majority-approved district lines. See his ruling here. (A more in-depth Berkeleyside story on the decision is online here.)
Original post: An Alameda County Superior Court judge is expected to rule Wednesday, April 30, about which district lines the city of Berkeley should use in the November 2014 general election.
Judge Evelio Grillo heard arguments Tuesday from advocates of some kind of compromise map that is different from the map approved by a Berkeley City Council majority in December. The city of Berkeley sued the county registrar of voters and city clerk earlier this year to find out which lines to use after the council-approved map was suspended by a referendum drive.
More than 20 people — most of them in support of a compromise map, of which there are several — attended Tuesday's hearing. They were represented primarily by Councilman Jesse Arreguín and Alejandro Soto-Vigil, along with attorneys for Councilman Kriss Worthington, Stefan Elgstrand and Phoebe Sorgen, all of whom have been named as "real parties of interest" in the lawsuit.
Attorney Margaret Prinzing, of Remcho, Johansen & Purcell, appeared for the city of Berkeley. … Continue reading »

Berkeley kicks off Adeline corridor improvements push
Coming up later this year, the city of Berkeley has pledged to focus some of its resources on the Adeline Street corridor in South Berkeley to address chronic problems and try to capitalize on the momentum of improvements already underway.
Last weekend, city staff and officials held a public meeting at the South Berkeley Senior Center to begin to brainstorm with local residents and merchants what some of the local priorities are.
Mayor Tom Bates, Councilman Max Anderson and city manager Christine Daniel were in attendance, along with nearly 10 other city staffers, and more than 30 members of the public, said Charles Burress from the mayor's office. … Continue reading »
Berkeley council rejects settlement over nuisance house
The Berkeley City Council roundly rebuffed a proposed settlement Tuesday night aimed to address problems at a "loud, unruly" party house south of the Cal campus that's been described in testimony by neighbors as a "mini-dorm."
Neighbors described issues with noise, drunken partiers, nudity and trash. Problems with the property, at 2133 Parker St., have been ongoing for years. In January 2012, the Berkeley City Council deemed the house a public nuisance, saying it was breaking zoning rules as a "group living accommodation" in an area that does not allow that type of housing. According to Tuesday night's staff report, the property has 17 bedrooms across three units.
In 2012, council members told the property owner, Ali Eslami, he had to remove 10 bedrooms from the home to fix the problem. In response, Eslami sued the city the following May. Last fall, Eslami and the city attorney's office reached a proposed settlement they hoped would put an end to the legal battle, allow Eslami to keep the existing bedrooms on site, and result in an improved environment for neighbors due to a range of guidelines Eslami agreed to follow. … Continue reading »
Berkeley redistricting map splits council, community
What some described as a historic move by the Berkeley City Council to approve a new student-majority district centered around Telegraph Avenue was decried by others Tuesday night as political "gerrymandering" aimed at splitting the city's progressive voice and excluding some of the most active students from the mix.
The council voted 6-3, on second reading, to adopt a new redistricting map, with council members Kriss Worthington, Jesse Arreguín and Max Anderson voting against the proposal.
The fate of Worthington's district, District 7, has been the focus of most of the outcry about the city's new redistricting map. Much of the discussion since July has revolved around whether the city would adopt a map that's been part of the public dialogue since April, or one submitted in July after the submission process had officially ended. The newer map was created by Stefan Elgstrand, an intern in Worthington's office.
The earlier map, via the Berkeley Student District Campaign (BSDC), has District 7 concentrated mostly on the south side of campus, while Elgstrand's map, the United Student District Amendment (USDA), includes parts of northside, with fewer blocks included south of campus.
"We have no choice but to go forward with a referendum," Elgstrand told the council during public comment Tuesday night. He said the BSDC map excludes too many students, many of whom live in Cal co-op houses, several dorms and International House. … Continue reading »

Berkeley bans tobacco smoking in apartments, condos
Smoking cigarettes will no longer be allowed inside the units of multi-family housing developments in Berkeley, effective May 2014, after a unanimous vote by the Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night.
The council decision, once it's adopted on second reading, would prohibit tobacco smoke inside all residential buildings that have more than one unit, and in all common areas of those buildings as well.
After considering the issue twice earlier this year, the council voted, on first reading, to approve the new ordinance, which puts forward enforcement guidelines that officials hope will protect the rights of both non-smoking neighbors as well as residents who receive complaints. … Continue reading »

What if you could soothe a sore throat or a head-ache with the snip of a scissors? Plant some herbs indoors and you could have a winter's worth of folksy remedies.
Many medicinal plants, especially herbs, grow well indoors, said Amy Jeanroy, who runs a greenhouse business near her Ravenna, Neb., home, and writes and teaches about medicinal herbs. She recommends starting with these five: thyme, chamomile, mint, lemon balm and sage.
Each works well as a tea: Grow, cut and dry them for use throughout the year, or use fresh herbs. To brew a tea, add 1 teaspoon of dried -- or 3 teaspoons of fresh -- herbs to 1 cup of boiled water; steep several minutes, then remove the herbs.
All five herbs aid digestion, said herbalist Christina Blume, who has taught medicinal and other herb-related classes at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
"A lot of herbs that people already cook with are herbs that have medicinal qualities," adds Jeanroy. "It doesn't necessarily mean it's kicking the flu for you. It helps you."
Physician Andrew Weil maintains a list of healthful herbs and their uses at his website, DrWeil.com.
Consult a doctor before trying to treat a health problem with herbs, Jeanroy said.
She treats her five children with herbs such as chamomile. "It helps with the crankiness the kids get when they're feverish," she said.
Thyme, Jeanroy said, can soothe a throat sore from coughing, and Blume touts its anti-viral properties.
"I always drink thyme tea when I fly," said Blume, "because you're re-breathing all that air that everyone's breathing, and (the tea) tastes good."
Mint -- especially peppermint -- is a home remedy for an upset stomach. And it can mask the strong or bitter taste of some other herbs, such as sage, which can soothe mouth sores and bleeding gums after dental work, said Jeanroy.
Lemon balm can be drunk as a tea to counter headaches, added to other medicinal teas to mask an unpleasant taste, or steeped stronger to make a topical, antiseptic cleanser for a skinned knee or itchy bug bite, she said.
"If there's one herb that does tons of great stuff, lemon balm is it," said Jeanroy.
Medicinal gardens are centuries old; modern ones date back to the apothecary gardens of the Italian Renaissance during the 16th century, said Teresa Mazikowski, a staff gardener who spearheaded the Buffalo and Erie County (N.Y.) Botanical Gardens' indoor medicinal garden last October.
Botanical gardens grew out of these early medicinal gardens.
The indoor medicinal garden that Mazikowski tends goes beyond common herbs. It was planted with public education in mind, she said, and includes rare and tropical plants, as well. "The idea is to teach people how to keep themselves healthy so they don't have to take drugs" when they're sick, Mazikowski said.
The D'Youville College School of Pharmacy, and Mercy Hospital, both in Buffalo, collaborated with the city's Botanical Gardens to launch the medicinal garden with plants that show promise in pharmaceutical research, Mazikowski said, including turmeric, Pacific yew, cayenne pepper and ginseng.
Her own indoor garden includes oregano, mint, parsley, sage, lemon balm, lemon verbena, catmint and chives.
Start with a small indoor garden, Mazikowski suggests, and know that the plants aren't likely to last longer than 18 months.
Use a large, clean pot filled with sterile potting soil. Sow seeds or use small starter plants, which often are inexpensive this time of year.
Unless you have a spot that gets six hours or more of sunlight, you'll need to invest in grow lights, said Jeanroy. Buy inexpensive, full-spectrum light bulbs, sold at home improvement stores, which you can pop into a table or floor lamp. Your plants will need 14 to 16 hours of this artificial light daily.
Plants grow best if the daytime indoor temperature is between 70 and 75 degrees, Jeanroy said, and the nighttime temperature about 10 degrees cooler.
Make sure there's a drainage hole in the pot, and don't over-water. Soggy soil can lead to mildew, mold and pest problems.
Take care of your indoor herb garden, and it'll return the favor. "I don't know if it stems from surrounding myself with plants or spending so much time with them, but the whole process -- you're pinching back herbs that smell good and heating the water (for tea) -- I think that's part of the healing," said Jeanroy.

Dragonfire Racing wonders if the fourth time is a charm? DragonFire is diving into season #5 of the popular Destination Polaris TV show, with their episode set to air in a couple of weeks. Since the show is now airing on Fox Sports Net, the company says that virtually every area of the country will be able to "Feel The Heat" when the Project X4 rig is unveiled on June 22nd.
Ontario, California – Team ITP West Coast racers competed amongst 34 total side-by-side racers in the 2014 Best In The Desert Silver State 300, earning the overall win and two of the top-three finishing positions in the 1900P class. Cognito Motorsports / ITP racer Justin Lambert put his new No. 1918 Polaris in the winner's circle to earn his first BITD win of the year. Lonestar Racing / ITP pilot Branden Sims also tallied a third-place podium finish at the Nevada event.
Polaris RZR today announced the expansion of the widely-popular Camp RZR by hosting an event at Brimstone, in Huntsville, Tenn., on September 19-21.
Known as a celebration of all things RZR, the first Camp RZR was held during the 2013 New Years weekend, in the Glamis Sand Dunes, in Calif. The event was such a success, it was repeated later that year over Halloween weekend. Last month, the first-ever Camp RZR was held in the United Arab Emirates.
Minneapolis – In times of disaster, communication is critical for emergency response but often the means to keep technology charged disappears in the wake of the storm. To aid Salvation Army disaster relief work in the south after tornadoes devastated dozens of communities, Minnesota-based Polaris Industries (NYSE: PII) donated several pallets of Polaris POWER™ Digital Inverter Generators perfect for recharging communication devices. The generators will be shipped to Salvation Army disaster relief central in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma today.
Chandler, AZ — One size does not fit all… especially when it comes to the popular Polaris XP 1000! That is where DragonFire's HighBack seats come in. Last year we "broadened" our seat range to include the XL seats for riders with 40+ inch waist sizes. Now we are proud to announce another DragonFire first: Fully adjustable aftermarket seats for the RZR XP1K!
Both our original GT and new XL series of HighBack seats upgrade the factory XP 1000 seats without compromising the OEM slider/adjustment capabilities. In fact, DragonFire's HighBack GT & XL seats actually improve the function of the factory adjustment mechanism. These seats keep the adjustment lever tucked up out of the way compared to the highly vulnerable stock location.
Destination Polaris is coming back on the air beginning April 6 on the Fox Sports Networks. The show will feature 26 consecutive weeks of the popular off-road TV show.
Featured locations this year include Glamis, The Rubicon Trail, Tennessee, Colorado and even a special international ride in Dubai! Plus, there's the ever popular Project X episodes featuring over-the-top custom builds.
Destination Polaris is in its fifth season and can be seen across North America on these channels: Fox Sports Arizona, Fox Sports Detroit, Fox Sports Florida, Fox Sports Midwest, Fox Sports North, Fox Sports Ohio, Fox Sports Oklahoma, Fox Sports South, Fox Sports Southwest, Fox Sports West, Fox Sports Wisconsin, MSG Plus, MASN 2, Sun Sports, ROOT Sports Pittsburgh, ROOT Sports Rocky Mountain, ROOT Sports Northwest and WILD TV Canada.

Sexy photos of Peta Murgatroyd and James Maslow rehearsing for DWTS 2014| March 17, 2014 at 9:09 PM EST
They're your new favorite DWTS 2014 couple… Peta Murgatroyd and James Maslow. And below, there are some sexy photos of the pair rehearsing before a show.
If you haven't already heard, the pair have gone on at least one date before. They'd actually met, briefly, before they ever became dance partners. And, in that brief time, they flirted (implied) and decided to go out on a date. But no further dates followed.
Now? Who knows. What do you think? Are they going to pair up in more ways than one?

|On the record with Pearl Cleage
|Bestselling author shares inspiration behind latest project
|Published Thursday, May 8, 2014
|Cover of Pearl Cleage's newest book "Things I Should Have Told My Daughter: Lives, Lessons and Love Affiars" is a collection of her private journal entries from the 1970s and '80s.
Best-selling author Pearl Cleage is an Atlanta-based writer whose critically acclaimed body of work spans several genres.
Her first novel, "What Crazy Looks Like On An Ordinary Day," was an Oprah Book Club pick that spent nine weeks on the New York Times' bestsellers list. Subsequent titles, including "I Wish I Had a Red Dress," "Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do," and "Babylon Sisters" were also bestsellers and consistent book club favorites. Cleage, who is currently in residence at the Tony Award-winning Alliance Theater in Atlanta, got her start as a playwright. Her first play, "Flying West," about a group of black female homesteaders debuted in 1992 and was met with mass acclaim. Within two years, it became the most produced new play in the country and has been produced every year since it first debuted.
Cleage grew up in Detroit, where both of her parents were heavily involved in the civil rights movement. Her father Albert B. Cleage was a minister and founder of The Shrine of the Black Madonna, a Christian church rooted in Black Liberation Theology.
In the following Q&A, Cleage discusses the inspiration behind her latest book, a memoir titled "Things I Should have Told my Daughter: Lives, Lessons and Love Affairs." She also shares her overall message to her fans and why writing about Atlanta can be a challenge. Some questions and answers have been edited for brevity and clarity.
QUESTION: How did you get into writing? Was it something you always wanted to do?
ANSWER: "I've written all of my life… I always knew that is what I wanted to do. I've been writing my whole life and writing professionally since I got out of college."
Q: What was the inspiration behind your latest book, "Things I Should Have told My Daughter: Lies, Lessons & Love Affairs?"
A: "It's based on my personal journals from the 1970s and '80s. It began with a conversation I had with my daughter. I told her that when my granddaughter Chloe turns 16, I wanted to give her all these journals I had been keeping since I was 11. I thought it would be valuable information for her to see this journey of her grandmother as a woman moving through this very turbulent period in our nation's history… My daughter thought it was a terrible idea. I was struck by that…
"I thought that there were valuable pieces of information and value in the narrative of my own life and its reflection of a whole generation of women… I decided to chose a number of journal entries to kind of put this narrative piece together."
Q: What do you hope readers will take away from it?
A: "One of the things about memoires and writing about your personal life is that if you do it well, it really resonates beyond that one life. It reflects the lives of other people. My attempt was to show that my life kind of represents the journey that a lot of us have taken… I hope that people take from the book the value of the truth and the richness of our personal lives."
Q: What inspired you to write your first play, "Flying West?"
A: "'Flying West' was an experience unlike any other I've ever had. I was driving down the freeway in Atlanta, and I actually heard a woman's voice in the car in the backseat behind me. I knew there wasn't anybody in the car but me… So I was rather surprised to hear this voice. It was a woman's voice talking about her children. She was talking about having had 10 children in slavery, and then, they were sold away… I pulled off the freeway. Being a writer, I started to write down what I had heard.
"I did some research on all-black settlements that emerged in the West after the Civil War with so many of the people who had been held in slavery and went west. I found extensive information – photographs, letters, journals and things like that. It really was a wonderful experience to be able to find out more about this time period. It was from that that 'Flying West' emerged."
Q: Many of your books are set in Atlanta where you live. I've read that you said it can be a challenge to write about your own neighborhood. How so?
A: "The thing is that the people in my neighborhood are very protective of the neighborhood. So if I'm going to write about it, they want me to get it right. They will tell me if I don't get it right… These are not factual stories, but they are interested in me getting the facts right and telling the story straight."
Q: You wear many hats as a motivational speaker, teacher, playwright, poet and author – regardless of which hat you are wearing, is there an overall message you seek to get to your audience?
A: "Tell the truth. Speak the truth. That's really the beginning and the end of it."
Pearl Cleage's scheduled appearance at the Hickory Grove Library for a book reading on April 30 was canceled due to inclement weather and will be rescheduled on a date to be determined. Visit www.cmlibrary.org for updates.
|I think in the editing for brevity, your editors took too much out. ... I would have liked to have read her whole statements.

@TrendingBuffalo what's up with Vanek? Really? Ooh, he went pointless last game, it's the end of the world.
With a disappointing start to the lockout-shortened season, fans of the Buffalo Sabres are looking for answers.
We know what's right– Thomas Vanek. His 11 goals and 23 points have a Sabre at the top of the NHL in those categories for the first time since Pat LaFontaine flirted with the scoring title in 1992-93.
And we know what's wrong– Tyler Myers. Just a few years removed from earning the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie, Myers has lost his way. His struggles have rightfully earned him a seat in the press box during each of the last 2 games.
But who deserves the credit and who deserves the blame? We turn to the omniscient court of public opinion.

Satanists Battle Christians In the Streets of Boston | Religion
(Before It's News)
Infowars Reporter Dan Bidondi traveled to Harvard University to the site of the ill fated Satanic Black Mass set to take place on campus. Christians went on the offensive and protested this event which was eventually cancelled. Satanists and Christians then had no choice but to engage in a theological showdown in the streets of Boston. Our cameras captured the action.

It is largely forgotten that the war for American independence was initiated in large part by the British Crown's practice of using troops to police civilians in Boston and other cities.244 Professional soldiers used in the same ways as modern police were among the primary grievances enunciated by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. ("[George III] has kept among us standing armies"; "He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power"; "protecting them, by a mock trial….").245 The duties of such troops were in no way military but involved the keeping of order and the suppression of crime (especially customs and tax violations).
The Secrets Buried at Lexington Green
I grew up mostly in Lexington, Mass., where the famed "shot heard round the world" was fired. On my way home from high school each day, I would pass Lexington Green, where colonial militia had assembled on the morning of April 19, 1775, and encountered a force of British redcoats who were on their way to neighboring Concord to confiscate armaments. Shots rang out; eight militia men died; nine were wounded; the Revolutionary War had begun. The redcoats suffered only one minor wound and continued to Concord, where they found fewer munitions than expected. They spent the rest of the day being routed by superior numbers of militia, on a long and bloody retreat back to their garrison in the city of Boston.
The planned destruction of America….. "…It's political theater at its finest, designed to keep the normal American busy in a hall of mirrors so we will not be able to see the bigger picture, the big lie that keeps the shackles around our necks and ankles. Both sides have their cheerleaders luring people to "their" side, creating the near-perfect Hegelian dialectic, or the "framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution." It is important to…"

The planned destruction of America
The future of our Constitutional Republic is at stake and many Americans are angry. At least those who have been awakened to the world where they are pawns in a rigged game, and those who are not lining their pockets at the federal trough, are angry.
They are also trying to make sense of where we are today and how we got here. Even some of the "hope and change" supporters are angry at the continuity of agenda despite the change in American leadership. Then there are those who slumber in a world of denial, self-delusion and deception. Two distinctly different people in two remarkably different worlds, yet denizens of the same planet.
Starving the Monkeys™, Hologram of Liberty
……The "Founding Lawyers" of 1787 left the federal fleas in control of their own flea powder, and that's why we have an unchallengeable government today. Cleverly designed to be weak, the Constitution is more form than substance, or else Freedom would ring in America.Kenneth Royce proves that the States and the American people were politically "checkmated" 210 years ago, and discusses his three peaceful solutions prior to the imminent insurrection now brewing.
Hologram of Liberty is truly the groundbreaking, vital analysis of the Constitution.It is astonishing that this book, given its age, isn't the cornerstone of every libertarian or liberty event in the country. It is disturbing that so few people involved in those movements have read it, or in some cases, even heard about it. Neither had I, of course, but I was blown away when I read it.
Now, many things make more sense, including the gut-level triteness of most neo-patriots, who cheer something they haven't taken the time to fully understand. Yet, this book explains why the protections of the Constitution necessarily shrink over time, while the powers expand without bound. Boston clearly explains why our current political environment is a direct consequence of the Constitution, and not in spite of it.Oh, and for all you veterans of which I am one, as readers of Starving the Monkeys know all too well, remember that oath you took to the Constitution? Your oath was obtained by fraud, and as such, you are ethically released from any obligation to it.

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz is the type of guy who gets takeout from Gargiulos on Mermaid Avenue, so you know he respects a Coney institution. Hes trying to save the boardwalk itself, but how does he feel about the businesses on the boardwalk? We asked him just that, and heres the statement hes issued.
Ive consistently said that the future Coney Island should be a mix of old school and hip, showcasing the best of Brooklyn and NYC while remaining freaky and fun. I could not be more thrilled with Luna Park and Zamperlas commitment to a year-round entertainment and venues that celebrate the ocean views and maximize the beachfront location. But change is often difficult. As a Brooklynite, I have great respect for all boardwalk businesses that have kept the faith during hard times, therefore Im calling on the City to see if we can help them stay in the area if not on the boardwalk. What a draw it would be to have these longtime businesses along with outposts of hot local purveyors like Super Wings, Blue Marble Ice Cream, the Brooklyn Fleas artisanal food vendors, the famed Red Hook vendors as well as classics like Villabate-Alba bakery and Juniors represented in a truly unique Coney Island.
Keep in mind, the vendors Marty mentions are just his personal vision. Eric Demby of the Flea tells us no one at Zamperla has contacted him, but it sounds like hed be open to it: I think thats really great for Marty to think of us and I think the smart position is to balance the classic and the new.

This phone is a total lemon. After two months it stopped charging. It has now been returned to Huawei and to their service agent Roadhound (who are so rude to deal with) 4 times. The phone now crashes after a few minutes even when fully charged. Stay away from Huawei. I have wasted days and days arguing with them. They eventually agreed to give me a replacement but it has never turned up. They are unbelievable. What a waste of time and money. And it is such a shame that pcworld and cnet and others given this phone a good review. You have very low standards and obviously do not use phones for long enough to truly review them.

1-on-1 Defensive Drills
As a coach we often try several types of defense but our basic defense remains man-to-man. Our athletes must have good individual defensive skills; therefore, it is important that we work extensively on man-to-man coverage. These drills will help your players improve their man-to-man defense skills!
Defense is a challenge. Offensive players know their moves. It takes smarter players to play defense because they must be able to react and anticipate the offensive opponent's moves. A good defense means more ball possessions, which should translate into more points.
Any good player can play defense if they concentrate. A good solid player will accept the challenge of playing defense. Defense takes more determination and how well your team defends will be a direct reflection of the maturity of those individuals and the team as a whole.
Coaches must practice defensive drills at game tempo so their players are able to react and perform well during the game when they are called upon to improvise. There are three basic principles necessary to have a good defensive team.
They are: 1) the ability to control the tempo, 2) solid basket protection and 3) shot selection with good execution and patience. Focusing on basics defensive fundamentals such as: the defensive stance, on the ball defense skills, timing as well as space and distance will improve your players' ability to defend under game conditions.
Defensive Stance
Reminding your players to use the proper defensive stance is easy. Actually getting them in the stance will take practice. Players must practice the stance - feet should be spread about a shoulder width apart with their knees pointed slightly outward and their weight distributed on the inside of the foot.
The trunk of the body is almost straight and the player's arms are to the side of the body with palms or thumbs up. A good defensive player will keep his feet moving and will make sure he always keeps his eyes on his opponent and ball.
On the Ball Defense
When guarding the player with the ball, the defensive player must be low in a good defensive stance and about an arms length away from their opponent. Under these circumstances the defensive player should focus on their opponent's trunk, so as not to be faked out of position.
The defensive player must anticipate the dribble and maintain a defensive cushion of at least a step. If the dribbler gets ahead of the defense the defender should turn and run, using a cross-over step to get back in position and influence the dribbler to take the sideline or baseline. The defender should continue to pressure the ball and work the dribbler back to the middle of the floor where help awaits.
When the defender forces the dribbler to pick up the ball, he should close up or "belly up", on the player and try to prevent a good pass. Now the defensive player should be in a parallel stance with both arms extended as high as possible to force the lob pass.
Defending One Pass Away from the Ball
The defender that is one pass away from the ball must constantly work to prevent his player from receiving the ball or cutting toward the basket for the shot. When the defender is one pass away from the ball he should place himself between his opponent and the basket.
He should be at least one arm's length away and make sure one hand and foot are in the passing lane at all times. The defensive player must continually adjust his stance as his opponent moves or the ball moves so that he maintains the defensive triangle.
Defending Two or More Passes Away from the Ball
A simple rule is - the further the offensive player is from the ball the farther the defender can be from the offensive player he is guarding. The defender should take one step toward the ball with each pass going away from his man.
However, the defender should never be so far away that he cannot beat the pass back to his man. The defender can open up to the ball a little more so he can see both his opponent and the ball as it moves away from him. The defensive players must continually readjust as the ball is passed and dribbled. The defender must not lose sight of the ball; therefore, it is important to make contact with the opponent so that he knows were the opponent is at all times.
Step 1
The defender is in the middle of lane on defense. Offense starts in the wing away from ball on the weakside. Offense moves up to the free throw line extended to make defense move.
Note: Point to the man and the ball.
Weakside Ball Cut
Step 2
Aggressively deny the passing lane. When the offensive player cuts to the ball the defender should beat him to the spot and dictate directions on cuts. Do not give the cutter any options.
Protecting the Block
Step 3
Offense cuts back door then posts up on the block. The defense plays back door cut then must front the post on the ball side.
Deny Corner
Step 4
The offense player pops out to the corner and the defender maintains a pass denial position with his arm and hand in the passing lane.
Post Front to Helpside
Step 5
The offensive player cuts back door, then clears out to the weakside. The defender assumes a pass denial position in the middle of the key. See man and the ball.
Note: Do not follow the cutter to the weakside.
Defending the Flash Cut - Low to High
Step 6
Offensive player starts in the corner away from ball on the weakside, and then attempts to flash to the ball. The defender is in the middle of the lane in the stance position on the line and up the line. See man and the ball. The defender must move and adjust to prevent the cutter from receiving the ball from the Coach.
Protecting the Elbow
Step 7
Defense assumes a pass denial against offense at the elbow. Offense steps out to top of the circle and then cuts to the weakside. Defense stays on the line and up the line assuming a pass denial position in the middle of the key.
Defending the Flash Cut - High to Low
Step 8
Offense player starts at wing away from ball on the weakside, and then attempts to cut to the ballside low post. The defender is in the middle of the lane in the stance position on the line and up the line. See man and the ball. The defender must move and adjust to prevent the cutter from receiving the ball from the Coach.
Defending the Flash Cut - Low to High to the Weakside
Step 9
Offense starts at the ballside block crossing to the opposite wing to receive the skip pass from the Coach. Defense assumes a denial position then closes out with a high hand close enough to influence and contain any drive to the baseline and stop any shot.
Pass and Cut to the Weakside Wing
Step 1
Offense passes to the Coach then cuts away to the weakside wing. The defender moves in the direction of the pass, and assumes a helpside position. See man and the ball.
Note: Do not follow the cutter to the weakside.
Closeout Drill
Step 2
Defender is in a helpside position, seeing both the ball and player. The Coach makes a skip pass to the offense player who looks to shoot or drive. Defender closes out on the offense player with a high hand close enough to prevent a shot. Defender is forcing the ball to the corner.
Purpose: To improve defender's help-side defense by recovering quickly. To close out the shooter and react to dribble penetration.
Ball on the Wing
Step 3
The Coach passes the ball to the offense player at the wing. Defender should protect the elbow. When the ball is on the wing, the defender should make every attempt to push the ball towards the baseline. When the dibbler tries to drive into the middle of the court, the defender should protect the elbow and force the dribbler over the top of the circle.
Pass Denial Block-to-Block
Step 4
Offensive player makes a skip pass to the Coach and cuts to the ballside block. Defender should have his arm and hand in the passing lane to deny any return passes from the Coach to the offense player.
Deny the Wing Pass
Step 5
Offense player steps out to the wing to receive the ball from the Coach. Defender stays in the pass denial position with his arm and hand in the passing lane.
Defend the Back Door Cut
Step 6
Offensive player goes back door cut to the basket trying to receive the pass from the Coach for the layup. Defender stays in a pass denial position and swivels his head for vision and slides down the key with the cutter, denying the pass from the Coach.
Dribbling the Ball to a Wing and Clear Out
The Coach dribbles to the wing, as the offensive player cuts across the lane to the weakside. The defender denies the back cut, and then assumes a helpside position in the middle of the lane. See man and the ball. Note: Do not follow the cutter out to the weakside wing.
Give and Go Cut to the Basket
Offensive player dribbles to the top of the key and passes to the Coach then cuts to the basket. Defender moves in the direction of the pass, and then follows the cutter maintaining a denial position. Beat the cutter through on ballside.
Give and Go Cut to the Basket (Either Direction)
This drill is the same as the previous. This time offense can cut to the basket in either direction.
Closeout and Pass Denial
The Coach makes a skip pass to O1 at the weakside wing. O1 looks to shoot or drive. X1 is in a help position, seeing both the ball and player. X1 closes out on O1 with a high hand close enough to prevent a shot. X1 forces the ball to the corner. At the baseline O1 passes to the Coach then cuts across the lane. X1 assumes a pass denial position against O1.
Off Ball Skill (Wing Denial)
Step 1
By using hand and arm in the passing lane the defender does not allow the ball to be caught by the offense.
Off Ball Skill (Protect the Elbow)
Step 2
By using hand and arm in the passing lane the defender does not allow the ball to be caught by the offense.
Off Ball Skill (Post Denial)
Step 3
By using hand and arm in the passing lane the defender does not allow the ball to be caught by the offense.
Off Ball Skill (Pass Denial in the Lane)
Step 4
By using hand and arm in the passing lane the defender does not allow the ball to be caught by the offense.
Off Ball Skill (Point Denial)
Step 5
By using hand and arm in the passing lane the defender does not allow the ball to be caught by the offense.
Ball Denial and Closeout
02 attempts to get open to receive the ball from the Coach while X2 denies the pass.

Making your security fit
Wednesday, 23 November 2005, 11:58 AM EST
There is no doubt that network security keeps IT directors awake at night. And it doesn't look like restful slumber is getting any closer. When the British Computer Society surveyed IT directors in May, it found security was the main concern for 61% of respondents.

Cake is such a special dessert, it has come to signify celebrations. We have cake to celebrate birthdays, graduations, weddings and other special events. DaVita renal dietitian Martha from Missouri shares her fabulous kidney friendly recipe for St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake for those special times when you'll want to celebrate. And on another day, you can try her recipe for Martha's Coffee Frappe', a delicious kidney friendly version of the popular iced coffee drinks sold at every coffee house.
Martha was led to the field of dietetics by a family member. "My big sister Barb was doing a dietetic internship at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis when I was in high school," Martha stated. "A tour of the hospital facilities and hearing stories about her experiences inspired my career choice," she explained.
The Missouri native left her home state to become a dietitian at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. After college, she came to specialize in the renal field. "The hospital where I was employed built their acute dialysis rooms on the medical floor that I was assigned. I was informed that I was to be the 'renal dietitian'," Martha explained.
Martha is happy to be back in Missouri, and enjoys working "close to home." A member of the DaVita team for nine years (initially with Gambro, then DaVita), Martha splits her time between three dialysis centers. Coincidentally, she job-shares her position at one of the centers with "one of the dietitians I went through orientation with nine years ago at Gambro."
While Martha's two DaVita dialysis centers have "great patients and hard-working staff" and "similar doctor referrals" in common, each has "something different." She notes, "One clinic has a nocturnal shift, and the other has a home hemodialysis program." Appreciative of the patient education support from DaVita, Martha remarked, "I like the twice-a-year dietitian meetings that always have presentations with lots of good, pertinent information."
Using a friendly and helpful approach with patients, Martha most enjoys "individualizing each person's care to fit their situation." Giving nutritional advice "to improve how patients feel," Martha finds the most rewarding aspect of her job is "seeing patients' quality of life improve after following my advice."
Martha points out that three of the most important things that her patients can do to proactively take charge of their health is to "avoid missing treatments, avoid skipping meals, and take medicines as prescribed." But Martha likes to dispense her advice in fun, less traditional ways as well, which is why she has a "multi-month game per year to promote phosphorus control."
With her wonderful recipes for St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake and Martha's Coffee Frappe', you will celebrate Martha every day, just like her patients do. As always when it comes to dessert, portion control is the key to keeping these recipes kidney friendly.

As she saddles up a mare named Baby Flo to compete in barrel racing competitions across the country, Fallon Taylor's main goal is consistency.Last year, Baby Flo helped the Whitesboro cowgirl earn a spot in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. This weekend, the mare helped her advance to Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo finals, scheduled for tonight at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum."We're working on being consistent in 2014," Taylor said. "We are working on getting a check every time we run this year and we're trying to keep our rodeo count down."Taylor and Baby Flo have been very consistent at the renowned Fort Worth rodeo. In the first round, they finished eighth with a time of 16.66 seconds. During their second round run on Friday afternoon, the duo turned in a 16.67.Taylor is ranked third in the title race with two-run time of 33.33, thanks in part to the highly determined, world class competitor that is Baby Flo."She has a lot of heart and a lot of guts," Taylor said. "She never quits. She's not a horse that you can say, 'She never fired on that run.' "Taylor is hoping Baby Flo will blast around the barrels tonight when the bigger prize money is at stake. The finals will feature the top 12 in each event after today's 2 p.m. matinee performance.A look at the title races:• Barrel racing: Former National Finals qualifier Danyelle Bassett is ranked No. 1 overall with a two-run time of 33.21. Lisa Lockhart, another former NFR qualifier who turned in a second round time of 16.62 on Friday night, is ranked No. 2 with a 33.30. • Saddle bronc riding: Two-time world champion Cody Wright is ranked first with a two-ride score of 162, two points ahead of No. 2 Chet Johnson, a four-time NFR qualifier. Wright is 36 and he will compete against his 18-year-old son, Rusty, who is ranked fifth with a 157.• Tie-down roping: Three-time NFR qualifier Adam Gray is attempting to qualify for the 2014 National Finals after missing the cut last year. He is ranked No. 1 with a two-run time of 17.4. Former college champion Chant DeForest is ranked No. 2 with an 18.2.• Team roping: Drew Horner of Plano qualified for his first National Finals last year and he can make a big leap in his attempt to return to the Las Vegas championships by winning the Fort Worth rodeo. He and his partner, Buddy Hawkins II, are ranked No. 1 with a two-run time of 10.5, seven-tenths of a second ahead of No. 2 ranked Jake Orman and Randall Richards.• Bareback riding: Steven Peebles, who finished second in the world title race last year, is ranked first with a three-ride score of 241. Kaycee Feild, Bobby Mote and Orin Larsen are tied for second with 237s.• Steer wrestling: Seth Brockman, who qualified for the 2011 NFR, is pacing the field with a two-run time of 8.5. He's four-tenths of a second ahead of No. 2 ranked Jacob Shofner.• Bull riding: Joe Frost leads the race with a two-ride tally of 153 and Garrett Vig is second with a 151. Both are attempting to earn a first NFR berth.

[Miley Cyrus Instagram]
In a bit of a work slump right now? Welcome to #PlayTime, Grazia Daily's new music feature bringing you a different hot track every day of the week. From just-dropped music premieres to cool covers and throwback classics, its the new soundtrack to your afternoon.
Now this is sure to upset a few Smiths fans… Miley Cyrus has covered The Smiths famous track 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' while on-stage in Belfast. The singer showed off her country vocals while performing the indie anthem wearing an eye printed jacket.
Of course, while singing the track (really well actually) Miley filmed herself and the crowd to make an Instagram video. She also gets her fans to sing along to the bit Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel sing in cult romance movie '500 Days Of Summer'.
Miley's no stranger to unexpected covers, the controversial popstress performed Arctic Monkeys' 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?' as an encore after her MTV Unplugged session - yep the one Madonna turned up for - but the track was never aired. It's definitely worth checking out - even if you're not a Miley fan.
The singer's even tackled Fleetwood Mac, belting out an emotional version of the hit 'Landslide' in tribute to her late dog Floyd.
'It's going to be hard for me to do this next song. I'm not sounding like myself, and I'm not feeling like myself,' she said while introducing the cover. 'I'm sure you guys already know the reason I'm upset. My dog … I shouldn't say he was my favourite, but he was my favourite. He passed away.'
Are you a fan of Miley's version? Let us know @Grazia_Live
