A new meta-analysis of 38 studies on charter school performance finds the best available research "encouraging." In the report for the Charter School Leadership Council, author Bryan C. Hassel says studies tracking individual students over time are the most informative because the method allows researchers to identify the schools' value.
Among the nine studies in this category is the 2004 Goldwater Institute study, which examined test scores of 60,000 Arizona students attending 873 charter and traditional public schools statewide over a three-year period. Findings indicate that Arizona charter school students, on average, began with lower test scores than their traditional public school counterparts, and showed overall annual achievement growth roughly three points higher than their non-charter peers. However, achievement growth varies by grade level. Goldwater Institute analysts are building on this research by conducting a bi-annual progress report tracking more students over longer periods of time.

Reward of $5 million offered for capture of Mexican drug lord
"(He is) the master-mind behind the kidnap, torture and murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena back in 1985," said DEA Special Agent Ramona Sanchez.
The State Department is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Caro-Quintero.
Caro-Quintero served 28 years of a 40-year prison sentence for his crimes when a Mexican court ordered his release last August. Sanchez hopes the billboard and huge monetary reward sends a message to potential drug traffickers or organized crime members.
"They'll have to think twice before planning to execute or kill any law enforcement officer," he said.
The billboard in Phoenix is located on US-60 Grand Avenue, south of 31st Avenue. There are also billboards in San Diego, Los Angeles and El Paso, Tex.
Anyone with information is asked to call 1-866-629-6036 or email email@example.com

How safe are Zyrtec and Axid?
- Q: How safe are Zyrtec and Axid?
- A: Zyrtec is an antihistamine used for allergies. Zyrtec can cause some drowsiness and dry mouth. Zyrtec is safe to take unless there is an allergy to antihistamines, a history if glaucoma or enlarged prostate. Axid (nizatidine) is in a group of drugs called histamine-2 blockers. Axid works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces. Axid should not be taken if there is an allergy to Zantac, Tagamet, or Pepcid. Also caution should be used in liver, kidney, or stomach conditions that might be more serious such as ulcers. For more information on Zyrtec or Axid, visit http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/.

I knew he was a Scientologist - I also thought he taught science, looks like I was wrong. Ah well :whistle:
If he teaches Science then I apologise. Its a bit of a debate though, is a science teacher a scientist?
Back to the OP, this section from yesterday's Guardian letters page should help clear up a few things.
Interesting to see Michael Reiss' comment there in the Guardian. Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers eh!
One could consider himself to be a scientist if he applied scientific reasoning, but I'm not a scientist in the professional sense.
I have not heard that particular statement verbatim from Dawkins, but I know he has said something similar. I don't really watch everything he's done for TV nor read his many writings, but I would say that he is being a little generalised in making this assumption.
If there is evidence for evolution, and I consider that there is, then that's fine. If someone ignores it, okay. But you can't go round saying 'creationists ignore evidence for evolution' because it doesn't refer to everyone. There may be some creationists who consider the evidence to be false or insufficient, and there may be those who accept it. Personally, I find the evidence for evolution to be mostly accurate, but it doesn't mean that I believe we all arose from a sea of ammonia or that all living things are animated by a carbon isotope. In my opinion, just as religion and atheism can coexist, science and religion can and do coexist and it would be remiss of us to omit either from the other's lesson. We don't deny science in R.E., so why deny religious belief in science? And that doesn't mean I advocate promoting it either. I just don't think science is against religion or vice versa. Some scientists may be against religion and some religionists may be against science. So be it, but let's not tar everyone with the same brush.
I think you get my drift anyway.
Prof Reiss is on the dead on the money. If a pupil raises an objection to a theory (any theory) then the teacher should be able to explain the science (or lack thereof) behind the theory.
The only problem is how much time the teacher has to spend tackling alternative theories such as creationism, FSM etc. If they are to have enough time to actually explain the science can they simply tell the pupil that their particular theory is not important and move on?
If I hadn't vented about that article I would have exploded by the time I read there was a Creationist Museum about five minutes from my house!
BBC NEWS | Magazine | Who are the British creationists?
We're going on Saturday! :)
Hi mark - I would take up the cloth but I really, really love computers. They are so awesome. (:crying:)
Good summer?
Anyone else think Sam should read 'Scientology'?
I'm surprised that not everyone agreed with the OP. Actually surprised.
If you want to redefine science then that's a different issue. School children are not placed in a classroom with lots of cool chemicals and invited to mix them and try and discover something that no one has!
Kids learn things like acid+base = salt+water - it was true when my mum and dad were at school, then when my older brother went, then when I did and my younger sister went. This is not a matter for debate, it's a fact we all learned (and should remember)
Are people saying that if the biblical account of the world was not compatible with this we should discard this element of science too? Scientists don't go out of their way to annoy religious people!
This is a really big problem. That's why scientists need to stand united with a single stance - evolution is a fact and biblical texts have no authority in the field.
For a teacher to argue against a religion he must first fully understand it. Science teachers are not RE teachers, infact in alot of cases they are quite opposite types of person. Anyway the bottom line for a religious person is "yoiu must have faith" so no amount of proof is ever going to convince them that everything they have ever been taught is wrong.
A teacher shouldn't be so stupid to tell the religious person that they're wrong. Like you say, it'd be professional suicide. It shouldn't be necessary. Evolution remains a theory. Certain facts may support it, but nothing is conclusive (I think I'm right in saying).
It is a real problem at some level for most religious believers. You are believing in stuff that is supernatural. That affects your understanding of science; you have to look on science as incomplete. Some look on science as proof of intelligent design. The interpretation changes enlightened by scientific study. The meaning isn't changed, just better understood. I don't understand people who say religion is a fixed view unlike science. The Bible makes statements, but none are disproved by science.
Funny thought yesterday - the Bible is the best evidence there is against intelligent design - I know that's essentially been said in different ways already, but just thought it clarified it a bit :)
Interesting the comments on the Guardian article re teachers within a school needing to collaborate more. In my ex school the RE teacher and the Chemistry teacher were best buddies. They are both Christians, core members of the school Christian group thingy, the RE teacher a devout creationist and the Chemistry teacher not so much. (I'm still in contact with both as friends) (Dan the RE man gets excellent results. His lessons are challenging and interesting - the kids get to discuss moral issues in some depth.)
I think it's actually against the rules now to discuss creationism in science lessons.
I was just discussing creationism with a couple of Christian friends last night in a churchy meeting thing. They firmly believe the torah to be literally true. These are not extremist nutters - very ordinary people with simple beliefs. They had no problem with my belief in evolution. I have no problem with their beliefs either. I'm just interested in why they think what they do. One is a mother, and tells her children the same. I suppose it's down to the intelligence of the individual to reason and conclude what they do.
Creationism isn't a theory, in the scientific meaning of the word.
It is important to remember that when discussing this really.
"In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena." Wiki
Generally speaking, theories are facts. They are the best model we have, backed up by large amounts of evidence.
Since evolution was first proposed we have discovered genetics - if that isn't conclusive, being able to trace the movement if every piece of digital code within every living thing, then nothing is. What about micro-evolution?
We will never be able to observe evolution but the overwhelming evidence it has left, in the fossil record for example, puts the theory beyond question. The idea that an old book somehow holds a more complete truth or an alternative theory that holds equal water and is based on an equal amount of faith is nothing other than an insult to Science. And it deserves a capital letter. :)
Me - "The world, all its creatures, and man were created by God in 7 days around x000 years ago (sorry cant remember what god says it is). There is no such thing as evolution. And all the evidence which points to creatures pre-dating man by millions of year (ie Dinasours) is falsified or mis-interperated. Carbon dating is wrong... "
Now explain to me how you would correct me without actually telling me Im wrong. See the problem? At some point in the debate someone has to come out as being right and the other as wrong. There are some issues which can be interperated by scientists and religious people in differant ways but some things such as the all but un-deniable proof that the earth is older than God says it is (fossils, dinasaurs, evolution etc) are black and white issues; the earth either is or isnt the age Gods said it was, therefore someone has to be right and someone wrong.

Israel and Palestinian groups are blaming each other for violating a 72-hour truce that broke down just hours after coming into effect on Friday.
An Al Jazeera team arrived at Khuzaa in Khan Younis to find people retrieving decomposing bodies from homes.
Witnesses said six youths had been taken to a house and executed by Israeli forces. The bodies were left there for several days.
One man said: "It is a mass execution of six Palestinian youths who were brought to this bathroom. Look at the gunshots on the wall."

Rated 5 out of 5?by Westbrooke27 Lived here for years and enjoy my home! I have lived at Westbrooke Commons for years and I really enjoy my home. Over the past several years they have done some really nice things to make the place look nicer. I saw construction over at the pool area recently. When I went in the office around the first of the month, I asked what they were doing. They told me they were building a new heated kiddy pool. Me and my little ones are looking forward to using that this summer! April 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5?by laozhu My suggestion: avoid it! This place is a trap! One day I received a late fee bill asking me 100 dollars, because I was late for the rent! But I have paid the rent on time already. I actually paid every month rent on time. So I went and ask them about that, I thought they must make a mistake. The guy in the office tell me that it is because they charged me 30 dollars for fixing the window blind (which cost 3 dollars in Walmart), so there is also a 75 late fee for I am not paying for the 30 fixing cost. I said there is no paper said I was charged that 30 window blind, let alone the 75 late fee. Then he works on his computer, print another bill for me. This time, there shows I own them 30 75 dollars. No bill, no notification, then the late fee comes. I asked why in the first place they wanna charge me for changing the blind. They said they sent the notice that everybody should pay 30 dollars for chaining the window blind a while ago, which I didn't get at all. I mean I check my mail box everyday, and I really get a lot of notifications from the office, like parking, lawn cleaning etc. But nothing about window blind. They said I need to keep my window blind in good condition because what ever reason they said. The fanny thing is I paid the heating myself, why they are so concerned about a breaking window blind. Actually, the window blind is broken since I moved in. The explanation for the whole thing is they are lack of money and they want to get some more on our residents. The guy is rude though his word made no sense at all. Don't you Never come here unless you have some extra money to give in for nothing. November 7, 2013

For those of you who might be interested in interacting with me in a more formal way at the Philadelphia Trans* Health Conference, here is what I am up to:
On Wednesday May 30th I will be caucusing with the clergy. If you are a trans* identified seminarian or clergy person, plan on coming to this event on Wednesday from 2pm to 5pm. There will be a conversation for seminarians and a chance for clergy to converse surrounding both shared ministry interests and by denomination.
On Thursday May 31st (in a location off site and yet to be determined): The Archbishop Michael Seneco of the North American Old Catholic Church will be hosting a "Theology On Tap" event. We'll eat some good food, drink some good drinks, and talk about theology. This is open to everyone no matter your denomination. My guess is it will be pretty Christian centric, so keep that in mind, but all are welcome. It's going to be a lot of fun.
On Friday June 1st from 12:45-2:05 I will be on a panel with Joy Ladin. We'll be talking about trans* specific approaches to sacred text. Joy is a wonderful person, a poet, and a deep thinker, and a Jewish scholar. This is going to be a really fun conversation.
On Saturday June 2nd from 12:00 to 1:00 at the conference my ordination to the Diaconate of the North American Old Catholic Church will be happening, presided by Archbishop Michael Seneco. All are invited and welcome. If you are a clergy person or a faith leader you are invited to arrive a little early and to robe and/or vest and process. I am thrilled that my ordination will be happening in the context of the conference.
If you are not going to be in Philly, but would like to be a part of the ordination by livestream, I will be attempting to live stream the event. I set up a channel on justin.tv and will be posting a link. I will probably get it up and running around 11:45 just to make sure that it's going, so plan on tuning in for that.

Robin Neifield | May 18, 2011 | Comments
Forgettable ads and dumb websites litter the digital landscape. Consider these six tips to avoid those pitfalls.
Try asking anyone in an agency environment or in a marketing department how great creative contributes to the marketing campaign. They'll quickly reply with all the best practice approaches like marrying good creative with good placement, bringing creative professionals early into the planning stages, and blah, blah, blah. The reality is usually something far different and it shows. Our digital world is littered with forgettable ads, dumb websites, and other digital experiences that don't apply what we know about our prospective audience. These efforts don't give a clear next step, don't use the power of creative to tell an interesting story, or fail to communicate a relevant and memorable message.
Creative can mean many things to all the people that touch it professionally. Ads and apps, websites, search copy, and Twitter replies are among dozens of options that provide communication touch points that have the power to inform, entertain, and persuade - or not. Digital creative goes far beyond the obvious visual or copy writing elements to include timing, tone, and channel chosen for outreach or response.
Good digital creative requires the integration of media planners, UX pros, social community managers, the search team, technology experts, research folks, the client or account team - in fact the whole agency or team must think creatively and in concert to ensure a solid strategic foundation and the desired impact. The "creative department" is or should be the whole agency as we are all in the business of creating powerful digital experiences that support a business objective.
I polled a cross-section of our "creative team" to get their insights and tips on delivering great digital creative.
Good design and creative execution are not about pretty pictures or clever copy, at least not by themselves. Extraordinary creative results often come with some risk that is not always comfortable or even appropriate in every situation. So while not all creative can be great, it can certainly all be good/effective. And the way to get there is by involving your full team in the creative process.

Hi Scot, I was admiring your Stauffer photos and the neck adjustment mechanism caught my eye. Where did you get it? Thanks, Michael Schreiner
Hi Scot,
sorry it took me forever to respond. I will be happy to answer any questions within my competence :–)
Hi Scot,
Same here, I'll try and record the Sor variations on the Mozart theme soon.
In the meantime, I love playing contemporary guitar music on the Panormo model!
Greetings, Scot.
I just want to thank you for your help in my efforts to build an early Romantic 7- or 8-string guitar. I really appreciate your expertise and input. I'll probably start the "conversion" project after the holidays. I'll keep you informed of the progress.
I hope you are enjoying the "sunny" Pacific Northwest as much as I am. It's really quite "lovely" here today.
Hi Scot,
I think Edinburgh University has a drawing of that terz guitar. I can't remember playing it at all, but clearly I did as the photo is the proof! Oh dear, I'm becoming senile...
Thanks, Scot!
There is a player in Colorado who wants me to make him an all mahogany uke, I have some really nice mahogany that I have been saving just for that. I once heard an all mahogany guitar played by a wonderful finger stylist, wow, what a guitar!
Hi, Scot!
Had a gentleman from New Mexico comment on my blog yesterday, telling me he is making a a guitar from your Martinez plans. He was wondering what the guitar would sound like if it was made entirely from mahogany, I suggested that for his first guitar he stick with "traditional" woods. Just wanted to let you know that folks are still making the Martinez. I have a friend who keeps bugging me for another one, maybe when I'm settled back in Colorado I'll make him another.

Unbelievable – I forgot to add the garlic AND the onion (busy day today) and Hubs and I agreed it was still "D" good! I'm sure this would have been even better with those additions but quite honestly, I don't see how! Other than using fresh herbs rather than dried (the fresh equivalent is 3:1 and I substituted oregano for the marjoram) and forgetting the onion and garlic I followed the recipe as written and it was simple perfection. Rich, savory, flavorful, neither too thin nor too thick. We cleaned up every bit of this and Hubs has requested a repeat soon. The only thing I'll do differently next time is to be sure to follow the recipe more closely and not forget the onion and the garlic. I'm sure it will take this "A" recipe to "A+."
I was a bit hesitant to try this because I don't like the taste of wines in stews...weird, I know-lol! But I gave it a shot anyway, and I'm so glad I did. It was pretty good the first day, it was even better the second day. By the third day, it really was heavenly. It didn't last longer than that, as we were each trying to get the last bowl without the other noticing. I doubled the recipe, which is why it lasted so long. I tried to follow the recipe as close as possible. I couldn't find low sodium beef broth, so I used regular. I also only used half the amount of mushrooms. I cut the meat slightly smaller than is in most stews, to spread it out a bit more. I can't say how well it freezes. That was my intention when I doubled the recipe. Unfortunately, it was just too good to stop eating. I'll be making it again this afternoon. Can't wait! EDITED TO ADD...it took much longer than the suggested cooking time. I added in the carrots after cooking the meat and broth for 30 minutes. I added the remaining ingredients and spices after cooking for the suggested cooking time of 1hour. Then cooked another 40 or so minutes.
This was delicious! I sautéed half the onion and two cloves of garlic with the meat. Then, added more garlic and the rest of the onion at the end like the recipe suggests. Otherwise I followed the recipe to the letter. It was very simple and tasty. Even my finicky 13 year old ate it... and that's saying something! I didn't have any trouble with the thickness. I don't like watery stew, this was just thick enough, kind of the consistency of gravy. I will definitely make this again!

Audubon View
The National Audubon Society has had many achievements, but the best is yet to come with its new strategic plan.
It was quite a moment. Audubon's national board approved our new roadmap. Forty staff members rose to applaud the board, and then the board rose to applaud the staff. People hugged. A few tears were shed. Gratitude wasn't on the agenda, but it flowed freely.
This fall Audubon adopted a new strategic plan, after a process that engaged more than 150 staff, Chapters, volunteers, partners, and others. At the plan's heart are two words: conservation network. The focus on birds is clear, as are our priorities: saving the most important places for birds; combating climate change and mitigating its impacts; building bird-friendly communities and cities; protecting our seas and shores; and collaborating with foresters, ranchers, farmers, and other landowners to make working lands work for birds. We will align our efforts along the four flyways of the Western Hemisphere (seen in the map above) in an unbroken chain of protection.
We know that our "secret sauce" is no secret at all. It's Audubon's unparalleled wingspan--our Chapters, members, and partners--which reaches into communities throughout the hemisphere. Our commitment to science, policy, and education has been strengthened. Connecting people with nature--and letting birds lead us to that work--gives our 50 Centers and the million-plus people they serve a central role in on-the-ground conservation.
In the past few years alone Audubon has racked up a remarkable list of achievements: protecting 240,000 acres of wilderness at California's Tejon Ranch. New Audubon Centers that inspire and empower urban, suburban, and rural communities alike. Our Important Bird Areas program (with partner BirdLife International), the foundation for stewardship of 370 million acres of vital habitat. Decades of Christmas Bird Count data that reveal how climate change and other threats affect birds and how to help. Our continuing leadership role in Gulf Coast recovery and restoration. Our Toyota-funded TogetherGreen program, which engages diverse communities coast to coast. And innovative outreach like Birding the Net, which is reaching brand-new audiences.
But as I heard from Audubon staff, Chapters, volunteers, and members in the past year, we can do more--and we can do better. And we must, to prevail in the face of today's enormous environmental challenges and to ensure a healthy and vibrant future for birds and all of us who share the planet with them.
The Audubon legacy gives us much to be proud of. But the best is yet to come. I thank each of you for your support as we start the year by beginning Audubon's new journey on behalf of birds and the environment.

If there is consent, a rape is no longer a rape, but lovemaking; a theft is no longer a theft, but a gift; a battery is no longer a battery, but surgery, or sports, or massage. A wrong, it seems, is no longer a wrong if the victim consents to it. That at least is the generally accepted view.
To be sure, there are some well-recognized exceptions. Consent does not count if coercion or deception is involved, if one of the consenting parties lacked competence, if there are good paternalistic reasons for overriding it (as there may be with drug use or euthanasia), or if what the parties are agreeing to would injure some third party (in which case we tend to call it a conspiracy). Consent might also be questioned if it involves selling something we think should not be commodified (like sex, bodily organs, or the services of a birth surrogate), or if it somehow arises out of an egregious inequality of bargaining power. But outside these by now fairly intuitive special circumstances, the generally accepted view is that consent should be honored. It is a view that is not fundamentally different from classic libertarianism, and so I will refer to it as Quasi-Libertarianism.

Allen Toussaint
Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky - The Hit Songs & Productions 1957-1978
A deluxe, 50-track 2CD mediabook featuring the New Orleans legend's solo recordings plus his greatest production hits for Lee Dorsey, The Meters, Ernie K-Doe and more.
Many of today's music fans might only know the name of Allen Toussaint from his work with Elvis Costello in 2006 on the album River In Reverse but of course his career stretches back over 50 years and includes a multitude of hit records as a composer, arranger, producer and performer.
This collection covers 20 years of his remarkable career, beginning with his first appearances on record as a session pianist, his first solo recordings in 1958 under the name Al Tousan and ending in the '70s with his timeless songs and productions for artists like Lee Dorsey and The Meters. In between we'll hear his original versions of tunes recorded by Al Hirt and Herb Alpert, together with songs he wrote and/or produced which later became famous when covered by The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Herman's Hermits, The Dave Clark Five, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.

It's time for another Dollar Lunch Day thanks to LivingSocial. This time, the daily deal site is taking on San Francisco. On July 13, LivingSocial Instant Deals will go live in the City by the Bay and more than 100 restaurants will offer lunch for $1 to celebrate.
This is the third time LivingSocial is running with this unique promotion so it must be working for them. They report 27,000 $1 lunch vouchers were sold in Washington, D.C. in March and in June 15,000 were sold in Manhattan. Think San Fran can top that?
Tim O'Shaughnessy, CEO and co-founder of LivingSocial thinks it's the perfect city for the product.

I don't know, Livermore has wineries :) As for the art, the unfortunate thing is that the park service may not be happy with the artist if she didn't get permission. Even if the concrete is man made, and the art installation is an improvement, in my opinion, the park service may disagree. Hopefully not, but they might.
Livermore? Someone is suggesting "Live-no-more" as an improvement on what exists now in Pacifica?
I see what you mean, Todd. Can't blame me for trying.
Par for the course. You never answer a simple question.
If you don't back up what you say, it is a waste of bandwidth and no one takes you seriously.
At least I make my points and views clear, unlike some people.
Just saying.
Jim, you'll be waiting a lot longer if you are expecting me to answer to you.
Dan, the only dump in Park Pacifica or San Pedro Valley I can think of was Frontierland Park. I know that dump site well because I went to Oddstad when the dump was being used. The only other dump site I can think of was Mussel Rock, which, being right on the fault line and right on the ocean, was another poor site.
You may want to ask the city what they are doing with all the remediation money the garbage company pays to remediate the dump site.
The plans Peebles, had drawn up were drawings. Nothing he proposed went to the Planning Commission or City Council.
You keep saying builders and developers want to pave the whole city over and make it look like Daly City, not only you but your noobee crowd. The Waste Water Treatment plant, Palmetto, The Quarry, Oddstad School site, and the parcel on Pedro Point. Probably the only development parcels left. To claim the hills want to be built on is pretty asinine.
At one time Oddstad was to connect over the hill to San Bruno. City plans were for the city to have about 80,000-90,000 people.
Some cities like Livermore are good at bringing well-thought-out plans and projected into the city. Livermore, knows how to make money.
I bet that added a nice chunk of change into the city's bank account.
Bray, I have been waiting since 2005-2006 to hear a way to bring money into the city from you; as of today I haven't heard one idea.
Dan, the Yessies aren't (or rather can't be) honest about land use issues in town. The same old lies are usually followed up by the same old excuses. When they don't get their way, they resort to the name calling, like "you hippies" and what not, or the standard fibbing. Good for you to attempt reason, but you are fighting Dogma.
@ Jim Alex, in the order in which it was received:
"I find it quite disturbing that you do not have a problem with a city that can no longer pay for basic services." (I do find it appalling that our town and so many towns throughout our state and nation are having trouble paying for basic services. It appears to me that our differences have more to do with what caused this problem and what we need to do about it.)
"The Quarry Project by Peebles wasn't perfect, but it was a pretty good project, only to be spoiled by lies and untruths by the nobees. The battle cry was traffic and you're going to pave and build a city out of the quarry." (I am not clear on what all that means but what was in writing on the ballot from Peebles was only about a variance to allow more housing than the property is zoned for. All of the other wonderful promises that he wouldn't put in writing were, as Samuel Goldwyn sagely pointed out, "A verbal contract isn't worth the
paper it's written on.")
"The Old Waste Water treatment plant project was given to the handpicked group who didn't have any track record in building projects. They were just experts in shoveling BS around town." (I gotta admit I haven't followed this one very well so I can't shed any light on it.)
"The project on Palmetto was appealed by one of the council members who couldn't even give a reason why he appealed it." (Again, I wasn't present for this one.)
"Highway 1 has been kicked around for the last 30+ years and you think this is OK?" (I agree with you that Highway 1 has its problems and the primary reason that it has been 30+ years that the issue has been kicked around stems from the fact that Pacifica is a really unlikely sort of town in the first place. It is a series of tiny valleys with no communication between them other than Highway 1. These valleys wouldn't have become a town at all but for San
Bruno's very bad plan to make a solid waste dump out of the back of the San Pedro Valley. I think that it is a good thing that all of those coast dwellers opted to incorporate into this strange little town. Our location and
configuration do present some unique problems, some of which have everything
to do with our primary artery, Highway 1. Many of the proposed "solutions" to
traveler's inconveniences on Highway 1 [and particularly the ones that Caltrans has been and is presently trying to ram down our throats] have little or nothing to do with solving the problems of Pacifica commuters. There is no end to the number of developers who might hope to make some money building on this
stretch of coast. Some of them I have supported, including most recently the
Walgreens in Pacific Manor, and the Fresh and Easy on Pedro Point and the Calimara project on Milagra Ridge, but I don't believe that Caltrans has our best interests at heart. I believe that the plan they are pushing (by not
adjusting the timing of the lights so that commuters won't be stuck in traffic
every day) is to facilitate the development of all of the coastal farm land to where we have all the ambiance and urban dystopia of Daly City all the way from here and Santa Cruz. I think this is NOT OK and I encourage us all to
give it some thought and action.)
"A sports bar/brew pub was planned on Palmetto and it was briefly discussed, only to be dismissed due to noise and traffic. Oh, and Palmetto is supposed to be, and is being proposed as, the new crown jewel downtown area." (I know nothing of the "sports bar/brew pub" and I don't know why the idea was
rejected so I don't have anything to contribute on this subject.)
"And you wonder why no one wants to invest any money in town. " (I gotta say, I don't wonder. Most large investors draw a circle around a projected business site and then count the number of potential customers within the circle. In Pacifica, half of one's circle would be out at sea in the very famous Pacific
Ocean and half of the other half would be on unbuildable and unstable hills that contain exactly zero customers.)
I find it quite disturbing that you do not have a problem with a city that can no longer pay for basic services. Our PD is understaffed and looking at being taken over by the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office to save money. The Fire Department already went to the Daly City-North Cities in a cost-cutting move. Police Dispatch went to South San Francisco. The roads and infrastructure are failing. The sewer plant needs very expensive repairs. The Beach Blvd. retaining wall/seawall is crumbling, and the Pier is corroded.
The Quarry Project by Peebles wasn't perfect, but it was a pretty good project, only to be spoiled by lies and untruths by the nobees. The battle cry was traffic and you're going to pave and build a city out of the quarry.
The Old Waste Water treatment plant project was given to the handpicked group who didn't have any track record in building projects. They were just experts in shoveling BS around town.

And you wonder why no one wants to invest any money in town.
I haven't responded to the last comment of Jim Alex because I assume that he knows the falsehood of all that, but there are new people in town all the time, so it may be important that somebody address the "no growth" meme every time it gets paraded about. It gets paraded about every election and every time one of these guys comes up with some really bad idea that the majority of Pacificans don't support. Every City Council we have ever had (in my experience) gets accused of being "no growth," usually immediately after the public (and it tends to be the public rather than the council) puts the kibosh on somebody's favorite McMansion project. I haven't met anyone in Pacifica or anywhere else who is anti-growth, or anti-progress, or anti-all-that-is-good-and-wholesome.
Yeah, Dan, I am stuck in traffic because you and your buddies don't want any progress made around town!
You close your eyes when you drive by Mori Point?
Please don't do that.
That is what I look like when I drive by Mori Point. I close my eyes.
The lower third could have been built on!
Are those machine guns above the mural? Did she add those too?
I appreciate that she keeps the quality of her graffiti up to where we and future archeologists can all enjoy it.
My point is not to belittle the work. It does look nice, but what is to stop people from now painting any concrete areas at Mori Point in any way they see fit? How does GGNRA feel about this?
This type of work does seem to be in step with keeping Mori Point a natural space.
I wonder if this is an image of one of the Ohlone people who used to live here?
Call it whatever you want.
"How is this not considered graffiti?"
As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once famously said about obscenity: "I know it when I see it!"
Thank you for making Mori Point even MORE beautiful.

Raiders' Jason Campbell also hurt wrist
In the series before he went down with a stinger Saturday, Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell suffered a wrist injury that has become a bigger worry for the team, coach Tom Cable said.
In a conference call with Bay Area reporters Sunday night, Cable delivered the potentially alarming news, saying Campbell had an MRI and X-rays and would be further evaluated this week.
The Raiders did not consider the stinger that knocked Campbell out of the preseason loss to the 49ers to be serious, Cable said.
The Raiders open the season in two weeks at Tennessee. It appears to be too early to project whether Campbell will be ready to play against the Titans.
If Campbell can't play, Bruce Gradkowski will get the call to open the season.
Campbell was taken off the field on a cart after being hurt on a sack by Travis LaBoy in the second quarter. He was down for about five minutes.
"Usually I recover pretty fast," Campbell said after the game. "Right now there's no timetable. The thing is just to improve and continue to keep getting better. We don't know the timetable or anything, but at the same time, I haven't really missed any time before."
Gradkowski was a sparkplug for Oakland in his preseason debut against San Francisco on Saturday night after Campbell was hurt. Gradkowski gave Oakland's struggling offense life last season when he took over for JaMarcus Russell.
AFC West blog
ESPN.com's Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.
Still, Gradkowski has had trouble staying healthy.
Cable also said running back Michael Bush will undergo a procedure on his broken left thumb. Bush was still expected to be Oakland's starter this season, partly because he is more durable than Darren McFadden, who missed the first two preseason games with an injury, and Cable said Bush could play against the Titans.
The injury outbreak to Oakland's skill-position players extends to No. 1 receiver Chaz Schilens, who will return from the arthroscopic knee surgery he had last week in three-six weeks. That makes Schilens questionable for the season opener, which will be played 19 days after his procedure.
In still more injury news, center Samson Satele will return to practice Monday after missing the past week with a sprained ankle. Rookie Jared Veldheer got mixed reviews from Cable for his performance against the Niners.
"I saw a guy playing center for the first time in this league," Cable said. "You got to learn where to put his helmet a little bit more consistently. When he did, it was pretty good stuff. So, there's a lot to grow on. It was actually a pretty good effort by him."
Veldheer will work at both left tackle and center this week, where he is expected to be the backup at both positions.
Cornerback Chris Johnson is also expected to practice after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. Johnson, who was limited in practice last week, is competing with Stanford Routt for the starting spot across from Pro Bowler Nnamdi Asomugha.
Defensive tackle Desmond Bryant (hyperextended elbow) and cornerback Joey Thomas (concussion) are day to day with injuries sustained Saturday. Defensive linemen Jason Richardson (knee) and Alex Daniels (hamstring) will likely not play in the exhibition finale Thursday against Seattle.

AC/DC rocker Brian Johnson has signed up to host a new UK television series titled Cars That Rock. The show will air in the UK on Quest and is scheduled to begin broadcasting on May 8.
An ad for the series features the tagline "to drive a car that rocks, you need someone who knows how to rock."
Johnson, who is known for his love of cars, has been a longtime race enthusiast, and has spoke in the past on the link between rocking and racing:
"You don't give everything away at the first corner, just as you never give away everything at the start of a show. You have to keep it steady and then you build and build, and you get faster and smoother while building to a crescendo and leaving the crowd wanting more."
"In both, you have a team of guys who make it all possible," he added.

Eddie was the very first homeless person I met who actually left me with a positive impression - so few have over the years.
Eddie was always happy and always eager to make friends. In fact, that was kind of his trade mark thing. Whenever he was drunk, which was most of the time, he asked everyone who passed by him, or looked in his direction, "Are you my friend?" His voice was a high pitched and lilting southern accent.
Steve Martin said that a sad song just cannot be played on a banjo. Eddie's voice was like that, the tone was too friendly and upbeat to believe he ever spoke a mean word and meant it.
He loved country music and if he was drunk enough, he'd be singing, and taking requests. His favorite seemed to be the Bellamy Brothers' "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" And, usually when singing that line he was also giving a telephone poll a bear hug and dry humping it. He was funny too.
One day we were talking about past jobs, and he revealed that he used to be a machinist, and worked on some big equipment. He then proceeded to take off his shirt and flexed his biceps. Everyone gathered was astonished at his atlas build, not an ounce of fat on him and he even sported a decent 6pack. Not bad for a an guy who was at least in his 50's if not older and who had been an alcoholic for several years.
Sometimes he would get so drunk that he couldn't stand up. He could barely move from where he laid, his body partially propped up against the outer wall of the rescue mission. All the more he would prompt people to answer his question, which at times like these sounded more like begging, "Are you my friend?"
Not only did he wish to be friends with the world, being that he was so big hearted, but there also seemed a bit of fear in his voice. He knew he was vulnerable in that drunken state and for his own protection spent what little energy he had befriending people so that they wouldn't roll him instead. (If you're not familiar, "Getting rolled" is a mugging that usually happens to drunks down alleys.
Eddie was a tough guy, and I'm sure he could handle a beat down better than most people. I"m sure he experienced his share.
After my first experience of homelessness, I joined the Navy and was gone from Nashville for a couple years. When I returned, Eddie was no longer around. I never heard what happened to him.

Hi Kevin,ReplyDelete
I haven't read your blog for a while and have come back to find a bunch of really great posts!
Sensitive and insightful!
I particularly liked your post on Anti Social! Someone very close to me is experiencing this right now, just as you have described. I often feel that way and obviously lack the skills required to build friendships, be invited for dinner etc... but don't have Aspergers.
I've read and identified with all the posts after this one. This is good stuff for me at the moment. Thank you!
I think I'll continue reading some of your older posts. You are doing a great service to those who are experiencing alienation but can't express it. GOOD ON YOU!

Enrichment Opportunities at Homecoming
Homecoming is an opportunity for socializing, but did you also know that there are many event opportunities to experience a bit of Queen's academic excellence?
The following events are part of a very full slate of opportunities:
Open houses
will be held by the following departments and schools, and many more will be confirmed soon!
The Queen's University International Centre
(QUIC) will be hosting an
Open House on the Friday afternoon of each Homecoming weekend. If you remember the International Centre, or had an international experience during your time at Queen's, or are simply curious about the Centre's past and current activities, you won't want to miss this!
Confirmed Groups Returning for Both Weekends
Which Classes are Coming "Home"?
This year, Queen's welcomes home the classes of 2008, 2003, 1998, 1993, 1988, 1983, 1978, 1973, 1968, 1963, and the classes of 1940 to 1962. After their 50th anniversary, alumni are welcomed to return to Queen's every year, instead of every five years. Queen's faculties, departments, teams, and clubs also celebrate milestone anniversaries at Queen's Homecoming.
Confirmed groups returning for the October 4 - 6 weekend include:
Confirmed groups returning for the October 18 - 20 weekend include:
Other reunions currently in the planning stages include Athletic group reunions, the 125th anniversary of the Department of English, and the 40th anniversary of the School of Music.
Registration is Climbing!
Over 750 alumni from 89 classes and groups have already
registered for their Homecoming activities to ensure they will receive their reunion pin and latest planning update – have you registered yet? Registering ensures you'll be the first to receive the
Program Booklet digitally before the weekends, and your classmates will know you are coming back . Also, when you register, the folks at Alumni Relations know to have your
official reunion-year pin ready for you when you arrive in October.
Be sure to check your class web page often , as all updates to plans and information will be added as they're confirmed! Many alumni are eager to see the official list of
Who's Coming – these lists are updated daily as more and more Queen's alumni register for their Homecoming weekend. The Who's Coming lists can be found on the Homecoming webpages for the weekend of Oct 4-6 and for the weekend of Oct 18-20 respectively. Also, many of the events do not require registration and are open to the public – students and Kingstonians are very welcome! Check the event listing on the Homecoming Website for full details.
If you have any difficulties or questions regarding registration, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 613-533-6000 ext. 77467. We'd be glad to help!
Cheer on the Queen's Gaels!
When we think of Athletics events at Homecoming, our first thought is usually of the football team's home game, so the number and variety of other games and events that Athletics is hosting over both Homecoming weekends might come as a surprise!
Gaels Alumni are invited to enjoy (and participate in!) a variety of alumni games and events throughout both weekends, with events in:
In addition, Queen's Athletics is introducing an all-access weekend pass, called the
Gaels Homecoming Pass , which can be purchased online. For just $10, holders of the Gaels Homecoming Pass can attend any ticketed games (except the Football game, tickets for which can also be purchased online) and even have weekend-long access to the state-of-the-art fitness facilities at the ARC.
The weekend of October 4-6 will
feature the following ticketed games for the entire community to attend:
The Gaels Homecoming Pass is
available to everyone - to visitors from out of town as well as Kingston residents; to those whose history with Queen's Athletics goes back many decades as well as those who might be experiencing the thrill of university sport for the very first time!

Planning an Accessible Homecoming
Queen's Homecoming 2013 is committed to an inclusive campus community that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities though a continued effort to offer accessible services and facilities.
As part of our commitment to an inclusive and accessible Homecoming, we have created volunteer roles dedicated to providing onsite direction/support to persons who self-identify as living with a disability at Homecoming.
Accessibility Champion volunteers will be present at the Welcome Home! Alumni Meet & Greet, so make sure to visit them if you have any accessibility-related questions or concerns. We also encourage alumni and guests to
self-identify any special needs when they register
. Knowing accessibility needs in advance will help us to plan events and best accommodate all Homecoming participants.
