Topic Outline
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory rheumatic condition characterized clinically by aching and morning stiffness about the shoulders, hip girdle, and neck. It can be associated with giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA); the two disorders may represent different manifestations of a shared disease process. Some patients have manifestations of both disorders occurring at different times. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica".)
The treatment of PMR will be reviewed here. Additional issues pertaining to PMR, as well as the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of GCA, are discussed separately. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica" and "Clinical manifestations of giant cell (temporal) arteritis" and "Diagnosis of giant cell (temporal) arteritis" and "Treatment of giant cell (temporal) arteritis".)
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is characterized by a prompt response to glucocorticoids in low to moderate doses. The initial dose of prednisone needed to alleviate musculoskeletal symptoms in PMR is lower than that required to control the vascular inflammation associated with giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA). (See "Treatment of giant cell (temporal) arteritis".)
General guidelines — We recommend treatment with glucocorticoids as initial therapy in patients diagnosed with PMR. The primary goal of therapy is the relief of symptoms. Therapy has not been shown to clearly improve prognosis or prevent progression to GCA.
The value of glucocorticoids in the treatment of PMR has been established by decades of clinical experience and observational studies. Though we are not aware of any controlled trials comparing prednisone or prednisolone with placebo or other single agents, the brisk and dramatic therapeutic response to low-dose glucocorticoids remains a widely appreciated feature of PMR. Some patients with PMR may experience symptomatic improvement after only one or two doses of glucocorticoids, and the vast majority of such patients experience a marked improvement in symptoms within days of starting treatment, despite experiencing longstanding symptoms. Medications other than glucocorticoids, such as methotrexate (MTX) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, have not conclusively been proven effective in PMR . Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have no role in the primary management of PMR.

Comments about Chicago Electric Welding 200 Amp Electrode Holder:
I purchased this stinger to replace the one on the Harbor Freight LV inverter arc welder. A nice improvement over the stock stinger. Works great and for the price you cant beat it. I would highly recommend replacing the stinger that comes arc welder, this one allows you to place the electrode at different angles.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Best Uses
Serious welding. The handle cannot be secured. I applied a bolt in order to keep it on. The bolt is secured to the hot jaw and could be a shocker. The supplied allen screw does nothing to hold the handle on.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Doctoral dissertation: Microbes in the tailoring of barley malt properties
Research Scientist Arja Laitila has investigated the impacts of bacterial and fungal communities on barley germination and on malt properties in her PhD thesis work. She will defend her thesis "Microbes in the tailoring of barley malt properties" at the University of Helsinki on 31 August 2007.
Microbes – bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi - have a decisive role in
the barley-malt-beer chain. Microbes greatly influence the malting and brewing
performance as well as the quality of malt and beer. A major goal of the
dissertation was to study the relationships between microbial communities and
germinating grains during malting.
Laitila's research revealed that by modifying the microbial populations during malting, the brewing efficiency of malt can be notably improved. Well-characterized lactic acid bacteria and yeasts provide a natural way for achieving safe and balanced microbial communities in the malting ecosystem. She showed that the malting ecosystem is a dynamic process, exhibiting continuous change. The microbial communities consisting of various types of bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi form complex biofilms in barley tissues and are well-protected. Inhibition of one microbial population within the complex ecosystem leads to an increase of non-suppressed populations, which must be taken into account because a shift in microbial community dynamics may be undesirable. Laitila found some new microbial species in the malting ecosystem.
Suppression of Gram-negative bacteria during steeping proved to be advantageous for grain germination and malt brewhouse performance. Fungal communities including both filamentous fungi and yeasts significantly contribute to the production of microbial b-glucanases and xylanases, and are also involved in proteolysis. Well-characterized lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum VTT E-78076 and Pediococcus pentosaceus VTT E-90390) proved to be effective way in balancing the microbial communities in malting. Furthermore, they have positive effects on malt characteristics and they improve wort separation.
Previously the significance of yeasts in the malting ecosystem has been largely underestimated. This study showed that yeast community is an important part of the industrial malting ecosystem. Yeasts produced extracellular hydrolytic enzymes with a potentially positive contribution to malt processability. Furthermore, several yeasts showed strong antagonistic activity against field and storage moulds. Addition of a selected yeast culture (Pichia anomala VTT C-04565) into steeping restricted Fusarium growth and hydrophobin production and thus prevented beer gushing. Addition of Pichia anomala into steeping water tended to retard wort filtration, but the filtration was improved when the yeast culture was combined with Lactobacillus plantarum E76. The combination of different microbial cultures offers a possibility to use different properties, thus making the system more robust.
According to Arja Laitila new improved understanding of complex microbial communities and their role in malting enables a more controlled process management and the production of high quality malt with tailored properties.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

NBC's new crime drama Hannibal, premiering Thursday night, marks the return—and first real reboot—of the single most intriguing character The Silence of the Lambs author Thomas Harris ever created:
Will Graham.
It's almost appropriate that Graham never became the cultural icon that the show's namesake, or his nemesis-ally from The Silence of the Lambs, Clarice Starling, did. As originally written in Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon, Graham is a retiring personality—and in fact retired, at a young age, from his work as a special investigator for the FBI. At the beginning of the book, Graham now lives in Sugarloaf Key, Florida, where he's married to a woman with a young son and has taken to repairing outboard motors for a living.
Graham's career at the FBI had been brief, lasting only a few years, but it was marked by renown: He is the man who caught Hannibal Lecter.
This is what we know about Graham's background: After moving from rural Louisiana to work with the New Orleans Police Department, eventually as a homicide detective, he went on to graduate school in forensic science at George Washington University in D.C. and then to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He never made special agent, however. That was ruled out by his psychological evaluation. So they put him at the Academy as a lecturer while he worked in the field as an "investigator."
We don't know exactly how Graham failed his psych test, only that he did—and that the profile it yielded was also a sign of his ultimate value to the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit and its agent in charge, Jack Crawford: Graham has so pronounced a faculty of empathy that he can go past the rational limits of the evidence he's working with and connect the forensic dots emotionally. It's a crime-story cliche now, but it was sui generis as a character concept 30 years ago: Unlike anyone else on record, Will Graham can enter the mind of a serial killer.
Which early on took the kind of toll you'd know to expect.
Graham's first big case for Crawford was a psychological disaster. It was 1975. Behavioral Science was pursuing a serial murderer known as the "Minnesota Shrike" (named after a kind of bird that impales its prey and eats it later). When Graham arrived at the home of suspect Garrett Jacob Hobbs (remember that name if you plan to watch the new show), he found Hobbs's wife on the apartment landing, bleeding profusely but still trying to stop Graham from getting inside. Graham broke down the door just as Hobbs was slashing his daughter's throat. Graham shot Hobbs to death. Hobbs's daughter survived. But Graham ended up so traumatized that he had to spend a month in the psychiatric ward of Bethesda Naval Hospital before returning to the FBI.
Two years later, in 1977, the Bureau was tracking the "Chesapeake Ripper," whom they identified as a single figure responsible for multiple homicides because of the way he was methodically removing his victims' organs.
Harris's description of what happened next is the clearest portrait we have of Graham's singular ability—and maybe one of the most plausible accounts of a forensic superpower in history of detective fiction.
There was nothing outwardly prodigious about Graham's work here. He didn't elliptically surmise anyone's guilt from idiosyncratic stains on pant cuffs caused by rare brands of mustard. He just followed the evidence until it didn't lead anywhere anymore; and then he did the same with less-promising evidence; and then again; and then ... he noticed that one of the Ripper's victims had a healed stab wound among the wounds that had killed him. Checking the victim's medical records, Graham saw that the older laceration had come from a hunting accident five years earlier. So he inquired about it with the doctor who'd treated the victim in the emergency room at the time, a Dr. Hannibal Lecter, now a prominent psychiatrist in Baltimore.
Dr. Lecter is courteous and engaging but claims not to recall much about the patient. Graham comes away with no new leads or suspicions. But something nags at him. So he follows up with a second visit at Lecter's office. Lecter again seems cooperative. Still, nothing ... until very suddenly Graham finds himself overcome with the terrible certainty that Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper. So suddenly, in fact, that it visibly disorients Graham; the awkwardness is a fatal tell for Lecter; and while Graham excuses himself to call in backup, Lecter removes his shoes, walks up behind Graham, and guts him with a linoleum knife.
Lecter doesn't escape; he is apprehended by converging teams of Maryland State Troopers and FBI agents.
Graham doesn't escape, either; he is critically injured, nearly killed, requiring intensive-care treatment and months of painful recovery in the hospital.
He only realizes while laid up in bed how the insight about Lecter had come to him: He'd glimpsed a picture of a medieval surgical diagram known as Wound Man in Lecter's office; and the image had closed an emotional circuit for him. Graham had previously seen just fragments of hard evidence, but he could now see the full picture, like a constellation, by feeling Lecter's purpose in creating them.
Harris wrote all of this as backstory to the main plot in Red Dragon, where Graham comes out of retirement to investigate a new set of murders, turning to a now-incarcerated Lecter for help. It's a familiar conceit for anyone who knows Red Dragon's sequel (which has been uncharitably described as a rewrite of the earlier book, subbing-in the young FBI trainee Starling for Graham). Graham never appears in The Silence of the Lambs (1988), or ever again, apart from a few brief references: Starling mentions him as being "the keenest hound ever to run in Crawford's pack" and "a legend at the [FBI] Academy." Crawford tells her that Graham's face now "looks like damned Picasso drew it." And when Starling first meets Lecter, he asks her about Graham's scars. Frederick Chilton, the head of the high-security psychiatric prison where Lecter is now kept, remarks that Crawford is still angry that Lecter "cut up his protege."
Will Graham has been interpreted and reinterpreted by actors before. He was played onscreen first by William Petersen in Michael Mann's 1984 Red Dragon adaptation, Manhunter, later by Edward Norton in Brett Ratner's market-responsive 2002 remake. But Graham has never been reimagined by writers. Neither, I suppose, has Hannibal Lecter, unless you count Harris's own attempts to rework Lecter into the antihero of Hannibal (1999) or to give him a post hoc Chikatilovian personal history in Hannibal Rising (2006).

Upstream Color and the Art of Curating a Tumblr
Shane Carruth's second film Upstream Color is somewhat significant for a recent trend that moves away from telling manifest stories, where characters engage in cohesive and coherent action and instead relies on the viewers going on an emotional journey that carries them through the film. This concept of storytelling is actually something that has been common practice in high-budget blockbusters with their messy editing and their often illogical screenplays. Take Transformers, Michael Bay's magnum opus, if you want to say so. Instead of using the principle of causality to guide its audience through the 2 ½ hour-long story, it uses the idea of the guide and puts Shia LaBeouf's character right next to you, relying that you are going to take his hand and let him walk you through the story.

First thoughts on "The First Rasta"
MW here:
Being in Vienna on the Weekend I stumbled into a cozy little cinema, which presented on that day "The First Rasta", a documentary made by French journalist Helene Lee.
The film goes all the way back to the roots of the Rasta-Movement and traces its origins to Leonard Howell, who "invented" what we call Rasta today long before Bob Marley could ever make a song about it. Mrs. Lee not only wants to tell his story, she also wants to reveal the background: Who influenced Howell? What was the situation in Jamaica? And how did he get the idea to worship Haile Selasse I.?

"Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul." - Ingmar Bergman
"I regard criticism as an art, and if in this country and in this age it is practiced with honesty, it is no more remunerative than the work of an avant-garde film artist. My dear anonymous letter writers, if you think it is so easy to be a critic, so difficult to be a poet or a painter or film experimenter, may I suggest you try both? You may discover why there are so few critics, so many poets." - Pauline Kael
"You should look straight at a film; that's the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates." - Werner Herzog
"The last thing I want to know is whether you like it or not; the problems of writing are after that. I don't think it has any importance; it's one of those derelict appendages of criticism. Criticism has nothing to do with hierarchies." - Manny Farber
"The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed." - Stanley Kubrick

RNs send against Snyder's 'Right to Work'
Staff report
Standing silent on the steps of the state Capitol with duct tape covering their mouths Dec. 10, registered nurses who are members of the Michigan Nurses Association protested Gov. Rick Snyder's so-called "Right to Work" law.
It's symbolic of how the governor's attack on workers will stop nurses from speaking out at work so they can keep their patients safe from corporations and CEOs that care only about profits, the Association press release reported.
"Nurses are outraged at Gov. Snyder's war on workers, knowing that the wounds he is inflicting on our state will hurt for decades to come," said Katie Oppenheim, a registered nurse from Ann Arbor who spoke for the nurses. "Our union is our voice in the workplace, and nurses use that voice every single day to keep patients safe against corporations that only care about their profits. Gov. Snyder and CEOs are using 'Right to Work' to shut workers up, pure and simple."
Nurses were at the Capitol on Dec. 6 with thousands of others as the Legislature rushed "Right to Work" bills through in one day, despite Gov. Snyder saying for months that he did not want to see that legislation. The governor has now said he will sign RTW into law — an abrupt change that came after the intervention of the Chamber of Commerce and millionaire CEOs like Dick DeVos.
In "right to work" states, all workers — both union and nonunion — make an average of $1,500 less per year and are less likely to have family-supporting health insurance and pensions. The nurses said. "Right to work" laws do not lead to economic growth and do not ensure any "freedoms" for workers, who already cannot be forced to join a union.
The Michigan Nurses Association represents nearly 11,000 members statewide, advocating for them and their patients.

Tibetan exiles around the world have elected a new prime minister.
Indian-born, Harvard-educated Lobsang Sangay—who won more than half of the nearly 50,000 votes cast—will assume the political responsibilities formerly held by the Dalai Lama. More than 80,000 Tibetans were eligible to vote. —ARK
A Harvard University academic has been elected prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile and will take on the political role previously played by the Dalai Lama.
Lobsang Sangay won 55% of the votes cast by Tibetans around the world.
He defeated two candidates for the role, Tenzin Tethong and Tashi Wangdi.
Mr Sangay must now assume the political functions of the Dalai Lama, who said in March he wanted to devolve this responsibility to an elected official.
The Dalai Lama will retain his role as Tibetan spiritual leader.

text: Red Bull: The car has been working very well all weekend 5 October, 2013 Team and drivers report from qualifying day at the Korean Grand Prix, Round 14 of the 2013 Formula 1 world championship. Sebastian Vettel, Position: Pole, (3rd Practice – P1, 1:37.881): "It was close today. I had a very good lap in Q3 on my first attempt and thought I would find it hard to do better. On my second attempt I caught Kimi on the warm up lap and didn't have time to drop back, but fortunately the first lap was good enough. Mercedes were strong and seem to be comfortable in the middle sector. We're good in Sector one this year which a surprise as that's mostly straights. We improved the car from yesterday as I wasn't entirely happy with it after the second practice. In terms of conditions, we should be okay if it's dry or wet tomorrow; it's not clear if we get some rain from the typhoon, but let's see what happens." Mark Webber, Position: 3rd, (3rd Practice – P2, 1:38.018): "We had to take a bit of pace out of the car for qualifying, not much, but it was about how we would compromise between qualifying and the race tomorrow. I'm pretty happy, I could be two positions further up but that would mean, with the penalty, I would be 11th rather than 13th. It was a pretty tight qualifying with the two Mercedes, Seb and myself. Tomorrow's race will be interesting, I will be out of position, but we'll fight and come back through. I think we improved the car in some areas from yesterday." Christian Horner: "An exciting qualifying today and a great first run in Q3 for Sebastian, which proved to be the lap that achieved the pole position. It was a very strong performance from Mark and it's a shame that he now has to take a ten-place penalty, but we've set the car up with that in mind and hopefully he can make good progress tomorrow. Congratulations to Renault on achieving their 208th pole position, which matches the all-time record of Ferrari." (Renault) Thierry Salvi: "The car has been working very well all weekend and in the end all it took was one great lap by Sebastian in the start of the session to secure his third consecutive pole. Mark pushed hard and this position limits the damage his ten-place penalty will inflict tomorrow. We know our rivals will try to reset the pole advantage in the race so we need to stay on top to get the maximum from the car, which is again the quickest package of the paddock. On another note the pole is a great feeling for Renault as it takes our tally of pole positions in F1 to 208, equaling Ferrari's record. We're very proud to have achieved this with Red Bull Racing." Climate (out of) control After wondering whether Typhoon Fitow would hit this race, it now seems it won't, although we might still get a wet race. A lucky escape when you think back to the impact made by some of F1's past big weather events: Australian GP 2013 – Qualifying at the opening round this season was halted by torrential rain. Q1 took place in wet conditions but Q2 and Q3 had to be postponed until Sunday morning Malaysian GP 2009 – Torrential rain caused this race to be stopped after just 31 of the scheduled 56 laps. It was the first race for 18 years in which half points were awarded Japanese GP 2010 – Intense rain on Saturday meant that the whole of qualifying had to be postponed until Sunday morning. The weather wasn't quite as bad as at the… Japanese GP 2004 – Dreadful Saturday conditions, caused by the approaching Typhoon Ma-on, caused both qualifying sessions (yep, there were two back then!) to be cancelled and quali was held on Sunday Australian GP 1991 – The shortest race ever. Just 14 of the scheduled 81 laps of Adelaide's circuit were completed before downpours made the streets undriveable Tweet Related NewsRed Bull questions tardy response to Webber fireWhy always Webber?

VAP to VAE Implications for the Respiratory Therapist
Because there is no reliable definition for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the CDC convened a multidisciplinary group to develop a new surveillance definition. The result is a tiered approach that focuses on ventilator-associated events (VAE). A ventilator-associated condition (VAC) is defined as worsening oxygenation after a period of stability or improvement on the ventilator. An infection-related ventilator-associated complication (IVAC) is associated with measures of body temperature, or white blood cell count, and initiation of a new antimicrobial agent. Assessment of respiratory secretions informs the definition of possible or probable VAP. The VAE definitions will detect a wide variety of complications in patients on mechanical ventilation. VAE surveillance will require close working relationships among respiratory therapists and infection prevention personnel. VAE prevention presents many opportunities for respiratory therapists. These include use of noninvasive ventilation, implementation of lung-protective ventilation strategies, ventilator discontinuation protocols, and VAP prevention strategies.
Professor: Dean Hess, PhD RRT FAARC

Behind the Scenes
When we arrived on set at Montage Laguna Beach, everything looked amazing. The Mosaic Pool was stunning, the ocean view magnificent, the giant Christmas Tree was festive. Giant Christmas Tree!? But this isn't a holiday commercial! What does it take to move a 23-foot Christmas Tree? Can we use movie magic to take it out in the post-production process? Producers scrambled, and our Director and Director of Photography huddled. With some very creative angles, we found a way to shoot around it. You'd never know it was just weeks before Christmas when we shot this scene.
To add a touch of luxury to your Orange County vacation, pop into Montage in Laguna Beach for a meal and a wander on the grounds. This resort does a fine job of feeling both grand and homey, from its California craftsman architecture to the civilized live music in the ocean-view bar every night.
Kids love the dolphin-view restaurant by the pool and the trails that crisscross the top of the hotel's flower-filled bluff-top location, all open to non-guests. If you want a little grownup time, head to Montage's top-notch spa , including an oceanfront lap pool. The kids? Sign them up for the hotel's Paintbox Program for crafts and time at the beach while you slip away for a couple of hours.

Gavin Christopher Newsom (born October 10, 1967) is an American politician. He is the 49th and current lieutenant governor of California, after being elected in 2010.[1] In 2003, he was elected the 42nd Mayor of San Francisco, the city's youngest in a hundred years.[2] Newsom was re-elected in 2007 with 72 percent of the vote.[3][4] In 2010, a Samepoint study named Newsom the Most Social Mayor in America's largest one hundred cities.
In 1996 San Francisco mayor Willie Brown appointed Newsom to serve on the city's Parking and Traffic Commission, and then as a member of the board of supervisors the following year. Newsom drew voter attention with his Care Not Cash program, designed to move homeless people into city-assisted care.
Newsom graduated from Redwood High School and Santa Clara University. He has co-founded 11 businesses, 10 in which family friend Gordon Getty has been an investor.
Early life[edit]
Newsom is a fourth-generation San Franciscan. His father is of Irish descent, while one of his maternal great-grandfathers, Scotsman Thomas Addis, was a pioneer scientist in the field of nephrology and a professor of medicine at Stanford University. His father, William Alfred Newsom III, is a retired state appeals court justice and attorney for Getty Oil. Newsom's parents separated when he was 2 and divorced in 1972. At age 10, Newsom moved with his mother, Tessa Thomas (Menzies) Newsom, and sister, to nearby Marin County.[5][6][7] In May 2002, his mother died after a five-year fight with breast cancer.
While Newsom later reflected that he did not have an easy childhood,[6] he attended kindergarten and first grade at the French American bilingual school in San Francisco. He eventually transferred because of severe dyslexia that still affects him. His dyslexia has made it difficult for him to write, spell, read and work with numbers.[6] He attended third through fifth grades at Notre Dame des Victoires, where he was placed in remedial reading classes.[5] Newsom graduated from Redwood High School in 1985. He played basketball and baseball in high school.[5] Newsom was an outfielder in baseball. His basketball skills placed him on the cover of the Marin Independent Journal.[5] Newsom's childhood friend Derek Smith recalled Newsom as "one of the hardest working players on the team who became a great player because of his effort, instead of his natural abilities."[5] Newsom's father attended his games with San Francisco politicians that included John Burton and Quentin Kopp. Newsom's father had ties to several other local politicians.[5] Newsom's aunt was married to Ron Pelosi, the brother-in-law of former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.[6] Newsom's father was also a friend of Governor Jerry Brown.[6]
Tessa Newsom worked three jobs to support Gavin and his sister Hilary Newsom Callan. In an interview with The San Francisco Chronicle, his sister recalled Christmas holidays when their mother told them there wouldn't be any gifts.[5] Tessa opened their home to foster children, instilling in Newsom the importance of public service.[5][8] His father's finances were strapped in part because of his father's tendency to give away his earnings.[8] Newsom worked several jobs in high school to help support his family.[3]
Newsom attended Santa Clara University on a partial baseball scholarship and student loans, where he graduated in 1989 with a B.A. in political science. Newsom was a left-handed pitcher for Santa Clara, but he threw his arm out after two years and hasn't thrown a baseball since.[9] He lived in the Alameda apartments, which he later compared to living in a hotel. He later reflected on his education fondly, crediting the Socratic approach of Santa Clara that he said has helped him become an independent thinker who questions orthodoxy. Newsom spent a semester studying abroad in Rome.[10]
Business career[edit]
Newsom's first job out of college was selling podiatric orthotics.[5] He later worked for real estate firm Shorenstein & Company, where he worked as an assistant and performed a range of jobs that included cleaning bathrooms and removing asbestos.[5] He earned $18,000 per year.[6] Newsom also earned a real estate license.[5]
On May 14, 1991, Newsom and his investors created the company PlumpJack Associates L.P. In 1992, the group started the PlumpJack Winery with the financial help[11] of his family friend Gordon Getty. PlumpJack was the name of an opera written by Getty, who invested in 10 of Newsom's 11 businesses.[6] Getty told the San Francisco Chronicle that he treated Newsom like a son and invested in his first business venture because of that relationship. According to Getty, later business investments were because of "the success of the first."[6] At the PlumpJack Café, Newsom gave a monthly $50 gift certificate to employees whose business ideas failed because according to him in 1997: "There can be no success without failure."[9]
One of Newsom's early interactions with government occurred when Newsom resisted the San Francisco Health Department requirement to install a sink at his PlumpJack Wines. The Health Department argued that wine was a food. The department required the store to install a $27,000 sink in the carpeted wine shop on the grounds that the shop needed the sink for a mop. When Newsom was later appointed supervisor, he told the San Francisco Examiner: "That's the kind of bureaucratic malaise I'm going to be working through."[9]
The business grew to an enterprise with over 700 employees.[5] The PlumpJack Cafe Partners L.P. opened the PlumpJack Café, also on Fillmore Street, in 1993. Between 1993 and 2000, Newsom and his investors opened several other businesses that included the PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn with a PlumpJack Café (1994), the Napa Valley winery (1995), the Balboa Café Bar and Grill (1995), the PlumpJack Development Fund L.P. (1996), the MatrixFillmore Bar (1998), PlumpJack Wines shop Noe Valley branch (1999), PlumpJackSport retail clothing (2000), and a second Balboa Café at Squaw Valley (2000).[6] Newsom's investments included five restaurants and two retail clothing stores.[5] Newsom's annual income was greater than $429,000 from 1996 to 2001.[6] In 2002, his business holdings were valued at more than $6.9 million.[5]
Newsom sold his share of his San Francisco businesses when he became mayor in 2004. He maintained his ownership in the PlumpJack companies outside San Francisco that included the PlumpJack Winery in Oakville, California, new PlumpJack-owned Cade Winery in Angwin, California, and the PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn. He is currently the president in absentia of Airelle Wines Inc., which is connected to the PlumpJack Winery in Napa County. Newsom earned between $141,000 and $251,000 in 2007 from his business interests.[12] In February 2006 he paid $2,350,000 for his residence in the Russian Hill neighborhood, which he put on the market in April 2009 for $2,995,000.[13]
Early political career[edit]
Newsom's first political experience came when he volunteered for Willie Brown's campaign for mayor in 1995. Newsom hosted a private fundraiser at his PlumpJack Café.[6] In 1996 he was appointed by San Francisco mayor Willie Brown to a vacant seat on the Parking and Traffic Commission and was later elected president of the commission. In 1997 Brown appointed him to the San Francisco board of supervisors seat vacated by Kevin Shelley. At the time, he became the youngest member of San Francisco's board of supervisors and also the board's only heterosexual Caucasian male.[14][15][16] Newsom was sworn in by his father and pledged to bring his business experience to the board.[15] Willie Brown called Newsom "part of the future generation of leaders of this great city."[15] Newsom described himself as a "social liberal and a fiscal watchdog."[15][16] Newsom was subsequently elected to a full four-year term to the board in 1998.
In 1999 San Francisco's voters chose to exchange at-large elections to the board for the previous district system and Newsom was reelected in 2000 and 2002 to represent District 2, which includes the Pacific Heights, Marina, Cow Hollow, Sea Cliff, and Laurel Heights. He faced no opposition in his 2002 reelection. His district had the highest income level and the highest Republican registration in San Francisco. Newsom also had author Danielle Steel and actor Robin Williams as constituents.[17] In 2000 Newsom paid $500 to the San Francisco Republican Party to be on the party's endorsement slate.[18]
As supervisor, Newsom gained public attention for his role in advocating reform of the city's Municipal Railway (Muni).[19] He was one of two supervisors endorsed by Rescue Muni, a transit riders group, in his 1998 reelection. He sponsored Proposition B to require Muni and other city departments to develop detailed customer service plans.[6][20] The measure passed with 56.6% of the vote.[21] Newsom sponsored a ballot measure from Rescue Muni; a version of the measure was approved by voters in November 1999.[19]
Newsom also supported allowing restaurants to serve alcohol at their outdoor tables, banning tobacco advertisements visible from the streets, stiffer penalties for landlords, and a resolution to commend Colin Powell for raising money for youth programs that was defeated.[19] Newsom's support for business interests at times strained his relationship with labor leaders.[19]
During Newsom's time as supervisor, he was prodevelopment and for smart growth along with being "anti-handout."[22] He supported housing projects through public–private partnerships to increase home ownership and affordable housing in San Francisco.[22] Newsom supported HOPE, a failed local ballot measure that would have allowed increased condo-conversion rate if a certain percentage of tenants within a building were buying their units.[22] As a candidate for mayor, he supported building 10,000 new housing units to create 15,000 new construction jobs.[22]
As supervisor, Newsom had as his centerpiece a voter initiative called Care Not Cash (Measure N), which offered care, supportive housing, drug treatment, and help from behavior health specialists for the homeless instead of direct cash aid from the state's general assistance program.[22] Many homeless rights advocates protested against Care Not Cash.[23][24] The successfully passed ballot measure raised the political profile of Gavin Newsom and provided the volunteers, donors and campaign staff, which helped make him a leading contender for the mayorship in 2003.[6][22][25][26]
Mayoral races[edit]
Newsom placed first in the November 4, 2003, general election in a nine-man field. Newsom received 41.9 percent of the vote to Green Party candidate Matt Gonzalez's 19.6 in the first round of balloting, but he faced a closer race in the December 9 runoff when many of the city's liberal groups coalesced around the campaign of Gonzalez.[25] The race was partisan with attacks against Gonzalez for his support of Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election and attacks against Newsom for contributing $500 to a Republican slate mailer in 2000 that endorsed issues Newsom supported.[27][28] Democratic leadership felt that they needed to reinforce San Francisco as a Democratic stronghold after losing the 2000 presidential election and the 2003 recall election to Arnold Schwarzenegger.[28] National figures from the Democratic Party, including Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Jesse Jackson, campaigned on Newsom's behalf.[28][29] Five supervisors endorsed Gonzalez while Newsom received the endorsement of Willie Brown.[25][26]
Newsom won the runoff race, capturing 53 percent of the vote to Gonzalez's 47 percent and winning by 11,000 votes.[25] Newsom ran as a business-friendly centrist Democrat and a moderate in San Francisco politics; some of his opponents called him conservative.[25][28] Newsom claimed he was a centrist in the Dianne Feinstein mold.[22][30] He ran on the slogan "great cities, great ideas" and presented over 21 policy papers.[26] Newsom pledged to continue working on San Francisco's homelessness issue.[25] Newsom was sworn in as mayor on January 3, 2004. He called for unity among the city's political factions and promised to address the issues of potholes, public schools, and affordable housing.[31] Newsom said he was "a different kind of leader" who "isn't afraid to solve even the toughest problems."[32]
San Francisco's progressive community attempted to find a candidate to run a strong campaign against Newsom. Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi and Chris Daly considered running against Newsom, but both declined. Matt Gonzalez also decided not to challenge Newsom.[33] When the August 10, 2007, filing deadline passed, the discussion around San Francisco shifted to talk about Newsom's second term. He was challenged in the election by 13 candidates that included George Davis, a nudist activist, and Michael Powers, owner of the Power Exchange sex club.[34] Conservative former supervisor Tony Hall withdrew by early September due to lack of support.[35] The San Francisco Chronicle declared in August 2007 that Newsom faced no "serious threat to his reelection bid." Newsom raised $1.6 million for his reelection campaign by early August.[36] He won re-election on November 6, 2007 with over 72% of the vote.[4] Upon taking office for a second term, Newsom promised to focus on the environment, homelessness, health care, education, housing, and rebuilding San Francisco General Hospital.[37][38]
As mayor, Newsom focused on development projects in Hunters Point and Treasure Island. He signed the Health Choices Plan in 2007 to provide San Francisco residents with universal healthcare. Under Newsom, San Francisco ostensibly joined the Kyoto Protocol, although it could not actually join a treaty between sovereign states. In 2004 Newsom gained national attention when he directed the San Francisco city–county clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, in violation of the current state law.[39]
In 2005 Newsom pushed for a law to allow communities in California to make laws discriminating against breeds of dogs.[40] He requested that then state senator Jackie Speier introduce a law to change California law, which at the time stated counties could not target specific breeds of dog. The animal control agency under his direction created a working dog task force report that cited Denver, Colorado, as a best practice for a law in California.
In 2009 Newsom came under attack for the City of San Francisco's policy of illegally harboring juvenile criminal undocumented immigrants. The city was circumventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement by harboring or sending the immigrants back to their own native countries.[41] In 2010 Newsom was removed from the San Francisco County Democratic Central Committee. SFCDCC chairman Aaron Peskin said that he no longer resided in the city and therefore did not deserve a seat on the committee.
In 2009 he received the Leadership for Healthy Communities Award along with Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City and three other public officials for his commitment to making healthful food and physical activity options more accessible to children and families.[42] For example, in 2008, he hosted the Urban Rural Roundtable to explore ways to promote regional food development and increased access to healthy affordable food,[43] and he secured $8 million in federal and local funds for the Better Streets program,[44] which ensures that public health perspectives are fully integrated into urban planning processes. He also signed a menu-labeling bill into law, requiring that chain restaurants print nutrition information on their menus.[45] In 2010, Newsom was named America's Most Social Mayor Samepoint, based on analysis of the Social Media profile of Mayors from the 100 largest cities in the United States.[46]
Gay marriage[edit]
In 2004 Newsom gained national attention when he directed the San Francisco city–county clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, in violation of the current state law.[39] In August 2004, the Supreme Court of California annulled the marriages that Newsom had authorized, as they conflicted with state law at that time. Still, Newsom's unexpected move brought national attention to the issues of gay marriage, solidifying political support for Newsom in San Francisco and in the gay community.[3][8][47]
During the 2008 election, Newsom was a prominent and vocal opponent of Proposition 8, the ballot initiative to reverse the California Supreme Court ruling that there was a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.[48] In the months leading up to election day, Proposition 8 supporters released a commercial featuring Newsom saying the following words in a speech regarding same-sex marriage: "This door's wide open now. It's going to happen, whether you like it or not."[49] Some observers noted that polls shifted in favor of Proposition 8 following the release of the commercial; this, in turn, led to speculation that Newsom unwittingly played a role in the passage of the amendment.[49][50][51][52][53]
Lieutenant governor[edit]
In April 2009, Newsom announced his intention to run for governor of California in the 2010 election. In September 2009, he received the endorsement of former president Bill Clinton. During the campaign, Newsom remarked that, if elected, he'd like to be referred to as "The Gavinator" (a reference to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's nickname, "The Governator"). Throughout the campaign, however, Newsom suffered low poll numbers, trailing Democratic frontrunner Jerry Brown by more than 20 points in most polls.[54][55][56][57][58][59][60] In October 2009, Newsom dropped out of the gubernatorial race.[61][62][63]
In February 2010 Newsom filed initial paperwork to run for lieutenant governor,[64] and officially announced his candidacy in March.[1] He received the Democratic nomination in June,[65] and won the election on November 2, 2010.[66]
Newsom was sworn in as lieutenant governor, on January 10, 2011. The one-week delay was to ensure that a successor as mayor of San Francisco was chosen before he left office. Edwin M. Lee, the city administrator, took office the day after Newsom was sworn in as lieutenant governor. In May 2012, Newsom debuted on Current TV as the host of The Gavin Newsom Show.
In 2012 Newsom drew criticism for his negative view of California's state capital Sacramento.[67]
Newsom released his first book, Citizenville: How to Take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government, on February 7, 2013.[68] The book discusses the Gov 2.0 movement that is taking place across the United States.
Following the release of Citizenville, Newsom began to work with the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society at UC Berkeley on the California Report Card (CRC).[69] The CRC is a mobile-optimized platform that allows California residents to "grade" their state on six timely issues. The CRC exemplifies ideas presented in Newsom's Citizenville, encouraging direct public involvement in government affairs via modern technology.[70]
Personal life[edit]
Newsom was baptized and reared Roman Catholic. He describes himself as an "Irish Catholic rebel...in some respects, but one that still has tremendous admiration for the Church and very strong faith." When asked about the current state of the Catholic Church, he said the church was in crisis. Newsom said he stays with the Church because of his "strong connection to a greater purpose, and ... higher being ..." Newsom identifies himself as a practicing Catholic,[71] stating that he has a "strong sense of faith that is perennial: day in and day out."[10]
In December 2001, Newsom married Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former San Francisco prosecutor and legal commentator for Court TV, CNN, and MSNBC and who is now a prominent personality on Fox News Channel. The couple married at Saint Ignatius Catholic Church on the campus of the University of San Francisco, where Guilfoyle attended law school. The couple appeared in the September 2004 issue of Harper's Bazaar, a fashion magazine, in a spread of them at the Getty mansion with the title the "New Kennedys."[3][72] In January 2005 they jointly filed for divorce, citing "difficulties due to their careers on opposite coasts."[73]
Newsom was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.[74]
In January 2007, it was revealed that Newsom had had a romantic relationship in mid-2005 with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his former deputy chief of staff and then campaign manager, Alex Tourk.[75] Tourk filed for divorce shortly after the revelation and left Newsom's campaign and administration. Newsom's affair with Rippey-Tourk[76] impacted his popularity with male voters, who viewed his indiscretions as a betrayal of a close friend and ally.[77]
Newsom announced in February 2007 that he would seek treatment for alcohol abuse.[78]
In September 2006 Newsom began dating actress Jennifer Siebel after being set up for a blind date by a mutual friend, Kathy Wilsey.[79] In December 2007 their engagement was announced,[80][81] and they were married in Stevensville, Montana, in July 2008.[82] In September 2009, Siebel gave birth to a girl, Montana Tessa Newsom.[83] Siebel gave birth to a son, Hunter Siebel Newsom, on June 12, 2011. Daughter Brooklynn was born July 3, 2013.[84]
In 2012 Newsom and his family moved out of San Francisco and bought a house in Kentfield, California. The house is a midcentury home on 1.38 acres. It also hosts direct views of Mount Tamalpais. Newsom bought it for $2.145 million.[85]
Newsom is the second cousin, twice removed, of musician Joanna Newsom.[86]
