Upstate NY man charged with homicide after crash
LLOYD (AP) -- A Hudson Valley man is facing homicide charges after a crash that killed a motorcyclist.
Town of Lloyd police tell local media that 26-year-old Francisco Vasquez-Cruz, of Poughkeepsie, was driving with his headlights off when he collided with the motorcycle at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
The motorcyclist, 41-year-old Fernando Diaz Jr. of Wallkill, died at a hospital.
Vasquez-Cruz was arraigned on charges of vehicular homicide, driving while intoxicated and driving without a license. He was jailed on $50,000 bail. Court officials weren't available to say if he has a lawyer.

OICETS, the Optical Inter-Orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite (other name Kirari) is an experimental satellite by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to demonstrate interorbital communication between satellites through optical (laser) means. OICETS was originally slated for a launch on the second J-I launcher. Unfortunately due to problems with this launcher, the launch had to be put on hold. Using the H-2A was out of question, since it would be overkill to use this model to send a 570 kg satellite into LEO. Also there was no budget for another H-2A launch. Finally, in order to be able to perform the tests during the lifetime of the European Artemis satellite, OICETS was successfully launched on a Dnepr launcher.
Operation finished by September 24, 2009.[1]
- On December 9, 2005 Jaxa succeeded with establishing the optical links between OICETS (Kirari) and Artemis.
- During March 2006 a successful link between OICETS and a ground station in Japan was established. This is the first optical links connection between a fixed ground station and an LEO satellite.
- On June 7, 2006 Jaxa established a communication between OICETS and a mobile ground station operated by the German DLR.

Mayor declares Sacramento's arena deal officially dead
Talks break down with Maloof family in negotiations to build downtown arena for Kings. Seattle remains one of the cities interested.
Recent stories
Editorial & Opinion
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A deal to build a new NBA arena in Northern California that was already on life support appears to be officially dead.
Mayor Kevin Johnson said so Friday after two days of talks between city officials and the Maloof family, which owns the Sacramento Kings, broke down.
Johnson said it became clear there were "irreconcilable" differences between the sides over the financing plan for a $391 million downtown sports facility.
"We know this door is closed," the mayor said at a news conference. "This deal is not happening as we know it and we both acknowledged that."
Exactly what that means for Seattle's efforts to lure back an NBA team remain to be seen.
Chris Hansen, a Seattle native and hedge-fund manager from San Francisco, has proposed building a $490 million arena just south of Safeco Field, buying an NBA team, and recruiting an NHL team to play there.
Hansen could not be reached for comment Friday, but has preached patience as he has pitched his proposal to city and county officials.
Seattle has not had an NBA team since the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008.
The Kings appear to be one of the most likely NBA teams to move after almost leaving for Anaheim before last season. This season, the Maloof family reached a handshake deal with Sacramento to replace aging Power Balance Pavilion, but later backed out of the tentative agreement.
The talks in Sacramento apparently had two major sticking points. The mayor said the Maloofs balked at providing "adequate" collateral on a refinanced loan to replace the $67 million in debt the family has with the city. Also, the team would not agree to a 30-year commitment to Sacramento, he said.
Johnson said the city would shift its focus to building a downtown sports arena without the Kings.
Maloof spokesman Eric Rose said in a statement: "The Kings will continue the operations of the organization and building on the franchise's young nucleus of players."
Co-owner George Maloof, who led the Kings' delegation in the two-day summit meeting at City Hall, said the team doesn't intend to seek relocation.
"We're not going anywhere," he said.
The team ended its regular season in turmoil, finishing the shortened season 22-44 and missing the playoffs for the sixth straight year. Coach Paul Westphal was fired two weeks into the season after a dispute with big man DeMarcus Cousins. Hyped rookie Jimmer Fredette also flopped, and the drama over whether the team would stay or leave swirled the entire season.
At the beginning of Thursday's season-ending win over the Lakers, Cousins took the microphone and addressed the crowd, thanking fans for their support and promising the team will improve over the summer. He ended with, "See you next season."
Nothing is promised beyond that.

And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
from Holy Bible (NIV) – Matthew 25 on Genius
Of course we have been facetious and interpreted this parable quite literally. Perhaps Jesus is really telling us to go out and make the most of our God given talents. In this context, God is the master who has entrusted us with so many gifts. We are the servants who are to use them wisely (the servant analogy has to be viewed in historical context as well).

Exploit Kits in 2014
- http://blog.trendmic...t-kits-in-2014/
Dec 17, 2014 - "... Exploits targeting Internet Explorer, Silverlight, and Adobe Flash vulnerabilities were frequently used by exploit kits in the past year. The four vulnerabilities below were some of the most frequently targeted by exploit kits:
CVE-2013-0074 (Silverlight)
CVE-2014-0515 (Adobe Flash)
CVE-2014-0569 (Adobe Flash)
CVE-2014-2551 (Internet Explorer)
The most notable change in this list is the relative absence of Java vulnerabilities. Exploit kits have been removing Java because of the increasing use of click-to-play for Java applets, rendering Java a far less attractive target for exploits. The tables below shows which exploits are in use by exploit kits:
> http://blog.trendmic...t-kit-usage.png
Plugin Detection: Almost all exploit kits run some sort of software that detect the browser platform a would-be victim is running in order to determine which exploit to send to the user.
The code necessary to do this varies from one exploit kit to another, and is actually fairly complex due to the number of permutations of browsers and plugins that are possible.
Two exploit kits – Nuclear and FlashPack – use a legitimate JavaScript library, PluginDetect. This minimizes the work the creators of the exploit kit need to do, as well as providing a complete set of features. However, this also means that this library has known characteristics: this makes it more visible to security vendors looking for sites used by exploit kits. By contrast, most exploit kits write their own library to perform this task. This makes detection harder, but it also reduces the capabilities of the libraries. Many of these libraries, for example, will only function under Internet Explorer. The Magnitude exploit kit uses a third method – server-side code – too. The following table summarizes which libraries are used.
> http://blog.trendmic...it-detect-b.png
Antivirus Detection: A new feature that has been added to exploit kits is the ability to detect installed security software. If certain specific security products are installed, the exploit kit will stop itself from running. Both antivirus products and virtual machine software can be targeted in this manner. This behavior is possible due to a vulnerability in Internet Explorer (CVE-2013-7331). This vulnerability allows an attacker to check for the presence of files and folders on an affected system. It was first reported to Microsoft in February 2014, but was only patched in September of the same year as part of MS14-052. The following table summarizes the products that each exploit kit detects:
> http://blog.trendmic...it-software.png
Obfuscation Techniques: Exploit kits regularly use various techniques to obfuscate their activity, but some exploit kits have added new techniques. In both of these cases, the attackers are using legitimate tools to obfuscate their files. The Angler exploit kit now uses the Pack200 format to help avoid detection. Pack200 is a compactive archive format that was developed by Sun (Java's original developers) to compress .JAR files significantly. Tools to uncompress these files are provided as part of the Java development kit, but many security products don't support these formats (so they are unable to scan the said malicious file)...
Summary: Exploit kit developers have not been idle in the year since the collapse of the Blackhole exploit kit. They have made various improvements that help improve the capabilities of these tools. The defenses against these tools on the part of users remains the same. We highly recommend that users implement all updates to their software as is practical, since many of the vulnerabilities targeted by attackers have long been fixed by software vendors."

XP doesn't boot after installing windows 7 & grub
I was hoping there is a bootloader wiz out there who can help me with this problem.
Basically, I started with Xp, then installed ubuntu, then windows 7. I installed grub so I could try to load all 3. That's when I started having problems booting xp (when I try to select it i get a blank screen). So I uninstalled grub, leaving me with the windows 7 boot loader with the option to select windows 7 or xp, but it still won't boot. Since I uninstalled grub I am thinking it is a problem with windows 7. As a side note, the windows 7 boot loader is in the xp partition. Also, I was able to boot xp from grub just fine after installing ubuntu. Here is a post I made with some more details: Cannot boot xp from grub in multiboot - Linux Forums |
My System Specs |
10 Jan 2010 | #2 |
From within 7, go to folder options and show hidden files. There should be a boot.ini on the Xp partition. Rt click it and select Edit. Is it pointing at the second partition (I assume XP is on the second partition now?). If not, d/l this, rt click >properties>unblock>Apply>ok. BOOTini-0-2.zip Unzip it and copy the boot.ini file onto the XP partition - overwrite the existing one. Hope it helps. |

Now I feel upset because I did this to myself. I hate that I do this. I'll be eating well for a week or so then I'll go and have a massive ice cream treat for desert that has 700 calories in it. And I also had steak for dinner which did not help much either. I'm so frustrated with myself because this is what caused all the weight gain. :(

NEW YORK (AP) — Closing arguments have begun in the trial of two New York City police officers charged with the rape of a woman they were called to escort home.
Officer Kenneth Moreno's lawyer told jurors Friday "the evidence was not there" to convict. His partner's lawyer and prosecutors have yet to give their summations.
Prosecutors say Moreno raped the woman in December 2008 while Franklin Mata stood watch. Both officers face rape and other charges.
The woman testified that she drunkenly passed out and awoke to being raped after officers escorted her home. Moreno says she made advances and he lay alongside her in bed, but they didn't have sex.

REE 335 • Marxist Economics
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
45695 |
Course Description
Long, long ago, before economists got uppity and started calling themselves social scientists, there was no "economics" but rather "political economy." Writers such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill made no bones about economics being an inherently social and political subject. They were preoccupied not merely with markets and their theorization on the basis of aggregated individual choice, but also with the social organization of production, the evolution of technology and the ramifications of both for human beings both individually and collectively in society. Political economy was known as the "dismal science" in part because its social analysis projected the ultimate stagnation and decline of capitalism. But those times and that broad curiosity have been largely forgotten by a profession that rarely teaches its own history and peddles its equations and models as value-free tools of a positive science. In the historical process of disciplining and shaping the contemporary contours of economics, many of the social preoccupations of political economists have been discarded and relegated to other "fields" such as political science, history, psychology or sociology.
Grading Policy
The class is conducted as a seminar: everyone reads the same material and then we discuss it all together. The students who take this course are commonly drawn not only from economics but from other disciplines in the Liberal arts, e.g., sociology, history, anthropology, philosophy and government. Given this diversity, students are encouraged to read the materials in terms of their own particular theoretical and research interests and to bring such perspectives to bear in class discussion. The number of students is usually limited to 10-15 which makes possible considerable flexibility about fulfiling requirements: take-home tests or papers are the most common methods.
The books by Marx ordered for class are: Capital, Volumes 1-3. I have prepared a Study Guide for Capital, volume 1, for my undergraduate class that is on the web and I also recommend it to graduate students. My book Reading Capital Politically, AK Press, 2000, is also on the web, hereafter as RCP. Other readings will be either available in the form of photocopies or on the web.

I thought the first episode was very good! It gets you hooked into the story right away. I'm looking forward to seeing more, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this gets licensed quickly. I think it's cool how they have Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" as the opening theme.
Special powers? You call getting a hard on while taking a picture is a special power?
Erections aside, the series shows potential and looks to be well animated, which is what I expect from GONZO. The first episode was a pretty good watch and I'll be waiting for more.
Erections aside haha.. I didn't get that, why did that guy get a boner from watching the soldier getting shot? That was pretty weird..
Hey, thanks! Ill check it out.

September 30, 2013 – The Will County Sheriff's Office responded to a domestic disturbance with shots fired at 205 Independence Avenue in Joliet Township at 12:08am this morning. Upon arrival deputies spoke with a witness who informed the deputies that two subjects were inside the bedroom. Deputies observed Kearra D. Hosey, age 35, and Marcus T. Crosby, age 36; both subjects had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. East Joliet Fire personnel were called to the scene where the two were pronounced dead.
The witness, who is a relative of Mr. Crosby and also resided with the couple at this address, gave preliminary statements indicating that Hosey and Crosby had been arguing in the bedroom when Crosby pulled a handgun out and fatally shot Hosey and then turned the gun on himself.
The couple had been married in May of 2013. Joliet Police had responded to a domestic call on September 16, 2012 in which Marcus Crosby was arrested for domestic battery. Crosby was currently employed in the Joliet School District as a security guard. An autopsy is expected within the week. -END-

Purchased with intent of using as small side table next to recliner (for drinks, remote, whatnot). Unique, interesting piece with a mysterious and unnecessary ORANGE stain. I had noticed this in the reviews of other similar pieces, but i ignored it because the picture truly does not portray this. BOY was that a mistake. My hubby and i spent SIX hours dry sanding it down and still there is a faint tinge that remains. We then coated it with linseed oil and it looks ten times better. It is beyond me why whoever made this felt that it needed to be stained at all. It isn't cheap and we ended up not getting recliner so I actually no longer need it. And while i'm not going to return it, i can't say that i would have purchased it had i known what color it really was. Note to the wise, once you start sanding keep AWAY from water as it will reactivate the stain. Good luck.
I love my tables, stools whatever you call yours. This one is a beautiful addition to the ones I have already purchased. They hold plants, people as well as often being the topic of conversation.
This is a beautiful piece; very solid and unusual. We are using the piece as a stool to pull over to the desk when needed. It's actually quite heavy for that use and we probably should have selected one of the 10"x10" versions of this piece
I did not believe the other reviewes about the color but it is very orange, not a real ploblem but don't excect it to matach the pic! Is unique and well made.

"I want to tell you that I had so much fun doing this. My experience was as a Communitt walker. Many people donated, but only 4 of us walked on a beautiful day in October. We had so much fun. And it felt so wonderful to do this for the memory of my parents and brother who all died of colon cancer. One of the women that walked had recently lost her father. Many who donated had a family member who had been afflicted by it. I hope to now do this once a year ... and hopefully, you can bring the Undy out to the San Francisco Bay Area!" - Ellen Campbell, Fairfax, CA

I saw a puppiferous pot of these at HD the other day. No, it did NOT jump in my cart! I resisted buying it! Chances are it only had a tag of "Haworthia species" anyway. BUT...I think it may be Haworthia cooperi cf. cymbiformis, as seen at the link below. Hey! I saw a whole bunch of your photos on a database (thater) site, Amy! Very nice! ~Rosemarie |
Here is a link that might be useful: Haworthia cooperi cf. cymbiformis
- Posted by Ohio_Green_Thumb Zone 5b NW Ohio (My Page) on Sun, Jan 1, 06 at 18:01
Thanks Rosemarie, your idea matched mine. I kept thinking cymbiformis, but the rest of the name was a mystery to me. I got this at Lowe's this spring and I know what you mean when you describe "puppiferous pot"! Yes, I did contribute some of my photos to that database. I haven't added any since though. I probably should since I've gotten more plants, but I just haven't gotten around to it. You know how it is! Amy |

Hello, my fellow companions, uhh, how may i even begin with it? Well, frankly, seeing my coworkers speaking so openly of their personal lives, i think this shone that sparkle deep inside me to open myself a bit more to the public on my personal life. I wont go into details in some cases, but i'll be sharing the tidbits of my everyday life as i answer your questions. Now let me put some order in this place, gracious me, the room is such a mess!! All dust, no shine or colors, let me handle this...
Junior Member
hello taric how many crystals do you have in that armor
Taric, Good to see ya. I summon you on a regular basis and we tend to do well. Keep up the good work. Geokhan, supporting the best with the best
Taric, I summoned you recently 'cause you were free and all. Boy that was a huge flop. I cannot comprehend how you work. All your abilities are buffed by Ability Power, and yet you have a supportive role and get supportive items. Your abilities have such a low range, but I end up in the summoning platform shortly after getting into the fray. No offense but until I understand you more, I'm afraid I won't be summoning you anytime soon. -BB PS: Do you have any nicknames?
taric do you like hugs? can i hug you? have you befriend any of the other champions? why is your hair so perfect?

We just had to share the New York Times' pretty brutal assessment of the amount of time House Republicans have wasted in vain attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take away patient protections from millions of Americans. Some low lights:
"Jobs was clearly on the President's mind and his focus. Economic growth of our country and getting us on a fiscally stable path.
May 1, 2013
Well, it was pretty evident this week that Republicans are at a crossroads, with national Republicans attempting to overhaul their national message –while House Republicans don't seem to be getting the message. National Journal put a spotlight on the GOP's disconnect on economic policy:
House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) spoke on the House Floor in support of the Soap Box Derby.
So, the Republican party is divided. What's new? As reported by the Hill, the GOP leadership isn't too happy with the continued internal strife:
"Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday called for conservatives to put aside their differences with fellow Republicans and unify to fight President Obama's agenda, specifically the implementation of healthcare reform."

I have the same colour combination and it looks pretty great! You can see a lot of photos of it on my Flickr set.
I got the fabric end cube (for shoes), the regular end cube (for clothes, other crap), and two large packing cubes. I've only really made use of one of the large packing cubes; the other I'm still not sure about. Maybe I should have gone with two smaller cubes, or a PCBP. I'm sure I'll make use of it at some point, but at least it points to just how flexible the Aeronaut can be depending on your packing style and how long you want to pack for.
Different strokes for different folks! At least we all have options. I found organizationally the Aeronaut would work better for me by virtue of having the large main compartment. My packing lists vary wildly depending on destination, purpose of travel, duration, and what I might be lugging back, so trying to jig things around between three fixed size compartments would be a different challenge, on top of being lower in volume off the bat. Still, the TS is superior to the Aeronaut if you are looking for that segmented organization. As a business traveler, I think the TS would have been a better option for my business travel (MUCH easier to get at my laptop), but overall if I were to just have one bag, the Aeronaut suits me better.
But hey, that's just me! If I had the money, I'd have both and use them for different purposes. Maybe I'll buy the TS under the guise of getting my wife a new travel bag...

Rentals The Case for Renting Equipment In today's challenging economy, the reasons for contractors and construction companies to rent equipment versus purchasing are magnified."What rental offers contractors and construction companies is a cost-effective alternative to owning equipment, because equipment becomes a fixed cost without the accompanying overhead of ownership such as maintenance, repair and storage," says Christine Wehrman, CEO of the American Rental Association (ARA) in Moline, Ill. "The rental company handles and pays for the warranty, maintenance and upkeep of the equipment."
Many forecasting companies are seeing signs of better days ahead for the economy, in general, and for the construction industry, in particular. As a result, the ARA also is expecting an increase in equipment rental revenues, as existing and new customers discover the benefits of renting equipment on an "as needed" basis. Courtesy of Hydro Mobile Rental companies offer equipment experts who can become trusted and valued partners to help contractors achieve goals and efficiently complete projects with the right tools at the right time. The rental company's trained professionals should be able to help customers evaluate and secure the right equipment for the job at hand as well as provide training on how to properly use the equipment. Courtesy of Hydro Mobile
For many, price is a prime consideration, but the lowest rate doesn't always ensure the greatest value or least cost when renting equipment. Other factors to consider include the availability of equipment, proximity of the rental store to the jobsite and customer service.
Equipment rental inventory is turned regularly, providing later equipment models with the newest safety features, emissions controls and better fuel economy that meet new governmental requirements. What most contractors and construction companies usually look for from a rental store are well-maintained equipment that works as promised, prompt delivery and the ability to reach someone at any time of the day or night, if there's a problem with a machine. It doesn't matter whether the company is large in size or a one-person operation, renting equipment can be a viable, cost-effective alternative. Some may use equipment rental as a way to test tools prior to purchase or to augment current fleet during busier times of year. To help contractors and construction companies find equipment rental stores, ARA offers www.RentalHQ.com, an online rental locator. Users can enter their zip codes and the type of equipment needed to get a list of local ARA-member rental companies that can help meet their needs. Return to Table of Content

Britney Spears Puts the 'Kin' in 'Pumpkin'
Continuing her cavalcade of normalcy, Britney Spears brought her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, to Hollywood's Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch to pick out a Halloween pumpkin Thursday.
When they weren't shopping for the perfect jack-o'-lantern, the tots hopped around on the "jumpin' pumpkin" trampoline. Mom looked on and laughed. Apparently, embracing the ups and downs of life is a hereditary trait in this clan.
But even in this wholesome activity, the recently cleared pop singer raised eyebrows.
Though the photos here don't indicate it, the Daily Mail reports that Brit-Brit made the shopping excursion while wearing a ring given to her by Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzo Brit had a brief relationship with during her tumultuous past. The ring is purported to be part of a his-and-hers set that Ghalib had custom-made during their fling.
Does Britney still harbor affection for Adnan, who recently hinted that he'd be willing to sell a sex tape of the two of them if the price is right?
Put out an emergency call to Papa Jamie! He might have to load up the truck and hightail it back to Louisiana sooner than he expected!
In the meantime, Britney provides personal, exclusive coverage of her trip to the pumpkin patch at BritneySpears.com.
UPDATE: Contrary to the Daily Mail's seamy and cynical speculation, Britney did not appear to be wearing a ring at the Mr. Bones pumpkin patch. She was, however, sporting a necklace made by Key to My Heart. The company is currently donating a portion of its proceeds to Have a Heart Children's Cancer Charity. So shame on you, Daily Mail! And good on you, Britney!

Men's Ministry
"We desire to glorify God by reaching men for Christ, building them up in their faith, training them to serve, and sending them out to reach others."
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:1-2, NIV)
PURE WORD - Rick Clarke
Pure Word is a confidential gathering of men who are dealing with life controlling issues. This ministry is for men that struggle with Life-Controlling Issues. The purpose of this ministry is to gain a perspective on recovery which is different from that offered in the secular realm of treatment. With the Bible as our authority, we offer assistance for not only alcohol and drug issues but also other addictive behaviors as well such as pornography, gambling, and over-eating. We can help with anger, pride, fear and unforgiveness. Jesus came to set the captives free. (John 8:36) It is Jesus Christ who has given us the authority through the Holy Spirit to overcome and conquer all sin and fear that would hold us in bondage.
- Pure Word for Men meets Wednesday nights, 6 to 8pm in Room 1.

I believe I have another spurious quote for you. It's found on a number of webpages but not one with a citation.
"The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations."
- Login to post comments
This one was slippery, but I think I figured it out. It's Noam Chomsky (or perhaps David Barsamian) + Jefferson. I've created a new spurious quotation page for this one, and you can see all the details there: http://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/end-democracyquo...
- Login to post comments
Here's a curious one:
"Some people will believe anything, so long as it eliminates the awful requirement of thought. Our electors are like a cork in a bathtub, they bound joyfully about the tub without direction of plan, until the master of the System gives them direction and instruction, which they gladly Follow. Thomas Jefferson, 1816"
That's from Adrian Krieg. Our Political Systems. Oakland, OR: Elderberry Press, 2004. p.124. Among other red flags, Krieg's "Cultural Doctorate in Manufacturing Science" from World University reminds me of the first part of the "quote," that "Some people will believe anything"....
- Login to post comments
That is curious. The only source I can find, anywhere, that uses that quotation is Adrian Krieg's book. It also looks like something of a hybrid - the first sentence has a more modern ring than the rest of it. If you spot this quotation anywhere else, let me know.

I suspect this isn't Jefferson, as many claim: "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
There are some close variations on it, some of which have a real Jefferson quote appended as part of it. Just trying to source it very quickly, the oldest occurrence I found was in More Borrowings. San Francisco: C.A. Murdock & Co., 1891, where it was unattributed. Oldest one attributing it to Jefferson was New Medical Schools at Home and Abroad: Report of a Macy Conference (1978).
- Login to post comments
Christopher, you are quite right - that is not a Jefferson quotation as far as we know. The variations of this quote that you found with real Jefferson quotes attached to them are interesting - I've seen that phenomenon before with other quotes, but not this one (until now).
I had another question about the "swim with the current" quote not too long ago, so it's on my list to do an article on this one. Stay tuned!
- Login to post comments
Undoubtedly sometime in our lives we hear someone begin a phrase, "Well, as Thomas Jefferson once said..." We typically go about our lives without wondering is that something that Thomas Jefferson actually said or wrote. Monticello's librarians, however, have taken on the task of verifying some popularly cited Jefferson "quotations" that they come across. Here's a collection of some of the bogus quotations containing interesting tidbits about the detective work the librarians undertook.
- Login to post comments
This is a fantastic example of our learned and witty librarians at work!
- Login to post comments
It's not that quotes get mistakenly attributed to Jefferson that fascinates me so much as the types of quotes that do and how, in a couple of cases, the quotes already have great pedigrees. For instance, the "That government is best which governs least" is by Henry David Thoreau, not Jefferson. But you get the sense that many people would rather it were by Jefferson because of his key role in the nation's founding. What's also fairly amusing is that when I check to see what search phrases bring people to the Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia site (and not just the Spurious Quotes page), two of the top ten are quotes frequently misattributed to Jefferson.

DIY Baby Sunhats: Patterns, Kits & Tutorials
Posted by Selena Burgess
Ever tried to put sunscreen on a baby's face, ears and nose? Not fun. Not fun for anyone involved. Most babies have thin wispy hair upon their precious heads, so unless you plan on greasing your little baldies up – sunhats have been the favoured choice over all of that nonsense for eons.
I'm a fan of having an array to choose from to match different outfits, which can get pricey. Having basic sewing skills has been a blessing. Especially when it comes to easy, detailed patterns and tutorials like these…

on September 27, 2010"It's nonsensical," our pal David Chang says of the food rivalry between New York and San Francisco. "You already know the differences, so it's redundant." But can you taste them? Not often, and that was the best thing about Le Grand Fooding, a chef showdown of sorts at the Museum of Modern Art's PS1 outpost this weekend: the insider war gave way to actual food, so a couple hundred lucky eaters could compare, say, the camemburger by New York's Laurent Kalkotour (above) and the pig confit by San Fran's Melissa Perello (above at right).

San Francisco Bay is a shallow, productive estuary through which water draining from approximately forty percent of California, flowing in the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers from the Sierra Nevada mountains, enters the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, both rivers flow into Suisun Bay, which flows through the Carquinez Strait to meet with the Napa River at the entrance to San Pablo Bay, which connects at its south end to San Francisco Bay. However, the entire group of interconnected bays is often referred to as "San Francisco Bay".
San Francisco Bay is located in the U.S. state of California, surrounded by a contiguous region known as the San Francisco Bay Area (often simply "the Bay Area"), dominated by the large cities San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. The waterway entrance to San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean is called the Golden Gate. Across the strait spans the Golden Gate Bridge.
Contents |
The Bay covers somewhere between 400 and 1,600 square miles (1,040 to 4,160 square kilometers), depending on which sub-bays (such as San Pablo Bay), estuaries, wetlands, and so on are included in the measurement.[1][2] The main part of the Bay measures 3 to 12 miles (5 to 20 km) wide east-to-west and somewhere between 48 miles (77 km)1 and 60 miles (97 km)2 north-to-south. It is the largest Pacific estuary in the Americas.
The bay was navigable as far south as San Jose until the 1850s, when hydraulic mining released massive amounts of sediment from the rivers that settled in those parts of the bay that had little or no current. Later, wetlands and inlets were deliberately filled in, reducing the Bay's size since the mid-19th century by as much as one third. Recently, large areas of wetlands have been restored, further confusing the issue of the Bay's size. Despite its value as a waterway and harbor, many thousands of acres of marshy wetlands at the edges of the bay were, for many years, considered wasted space. As a result, soil excavated for building projects or dredged from channels was often dumped onto the wetlands and other parts of the bay as landfill.
From the mid-19th century through the late 20th century, more than a third of the original bay was filled and often built on. The deep, damp soil in these areas is subject to liquefaction during earthquakes, and most of the major damage close to the Bay in the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 occurred to structures on these areas.
The Marina District of San Francisco, hard hit by the 1989 earthquake, was built on fill that had been placed there for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (1915), although liquefaction did not occur on a large scale. In the 1990s, San Francisco International Airport proposed filling in hundreds more acres to extend its overcrowded international runways in exchange for purchasing other parts of the bay and converting them back to wetlands. The idea was, and remains, controversial. (For further details, see the "Bay Fill and Depth Profile" section.)
There are five large islands in San Francisco Bay. Alameda, the largest island, was created when a shipping lane was cut in 1901. It is now predominately a bedroom community. Angel Island was known as "Ellis Island West" because it served as the entry point for immigrants from East Asia. It is now a state park accessible by ferry. Mountainous Yerba Buena Island is pierced by a tunnel linking the east and west spans of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. Attached to the north is the artificial and flat Treasure Island, site of the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. From the Second World War until the 1990s, both islands served as military bases and are now being redeveloped. Isolated in the center of the Bay is Alcatraz, the site of the famous federal penitentiary. The federal prison on Alcatraz Island no longer functions, but the complex is a popular tourist site. Despite its name, Mare Island in the northern part of the bay is a peninsula rather than an island.
San Francisco Bay is thought to represent a down-warping of the Earth's crust between the San Andreas Fault to the west and the Hayward Fault to the east, though the precise nature of this remains under study. During the last ice age, the basin now filled by the bay was a large linear valley with small hills, similar to most of the valleys of the Coast Ranges. The rivers of the Central Valley ran out to sea through a canyon that is now the Golden Gate. As the great ice sheets melted, sea level rose 300 feet (91 m) over 4,000 years, and the valley filled with water from the Pacific, becoming a bay. The small hills became islands.
The first recorded European discovery of San Francisco Bay was on November 4, 1769 when Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolà, unable to find the port of Monterey, California, continued north close to what is now Pacifica and reached the summit of the 1,200-foot (370 m) high Sweeney Ridge, where he sighted San Francisco Bay. Portola and his party did not realize what they had discovered, thinking they had arrived at a large arm of what is now called Drakes Bay. At the time, Drakes Bay went by the name Bahia de San Francisco and thus both bodies of water became associated with the name. Eventually, the larger, more important body of water fully appropriated the name San Francisco Bay.
The first European to enter the bay is believed to have been the Spanish explorer Juan de Ayala, who passed through the Golden Gate on August 5, 1775 in his ship the San Carlos, and moored in a bay of Angel Island now known as Ayala Cove.
This famous bay was the center of American settlement in the Far West during the 19th century. From the 1820s onward, American presidents and expansionists coveted the bay as a great natural harbor in the Pacific. After many failed efforts to buy the bay and varying areas around it, the US Navy and Army seized the region from Mexico during the Mexican-American War (1845–1848). On February 2, 1848 California was annexed to the U.S. with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. A year and a half later, California requested to join the United States on December 3, 1849 and was accepted as the 31st State of the union on September 9, 1850. During the California gold rush of 1848-1850s, San Francisco Bay instantly became one of the world's greatest seaports, dominating shipping and transportation in the American West until the last years of the 19th century. The bay's regional importance became paramount when the First Transcontinental Railroad reached its western terminus in Alameda on September 6, 1869.[3] The terminus was switched to the Oakland Long Wharf two months later on November 8, 1869.[4]
San Francisco Bay continues to support some of the densest industrial production and urban settlement in the United States. The San Francisco Bay Area is the American West's second-largest urban area with approximately 8 million residents.
Despite its urban and industrial character, San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta remain perhaps California's most important ecological habitats. California's Dungeness crab, California halibut, and Pacific salmon fisheries rely on the bay as a nursery. The few remaining salt marshes now represent most of California's remaining salt marsh, supporting a number of endangered species and providing key ecosystem services such as filtering pollutants and sediments from the rivers. San Francisco Bay is recognized for protection by the California Bays and Estuaries Policy.[5]
Most famously, the bay is a key link in the Pacific Flyway. Millions of waterfowl annually use the bay shallows as a refuge. Two endangered species of birds are found here: the California least tern and the California clapper rail. Exposed bay muds provide important feeding areas for shorebirds, but underlying layers of bay mud pose geological hazards for structures near many parts of the bay perimeter. San Francisco Bay provided the nation's first wildlife refuge, Oakland's artificial Lake Merritt, constructed in the 1860s, and America's first urban National Wildlife Refuge, the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge (SFBNWR) in 1972. The Bay is also plagued by non-native species.
Salt produced from San Francisco Bay is produced in salt evaporation ponds and is shipped throughout the Western United States to bakeries, canneries, fisheries, cheese makers and other food industries and used to de-ice winter highways, clean kidney dialysis machines, for animal nutrition, and in many industries.
Low-salinity salt ponds mirror the ecosystem of the bay, with fish and fish-eating birds in abundance. Mid-salinity ponds support dense populations of brine shrimp, which provide a rich food source for millions of shorebirds. Only salt-tolerant micro-algae survive in the high salinity ponds, and impart a deep red color to these ponds from the pigment within the algae protoplasm.
The seasonal range of water temperature in the Bay is from about 8 °C (46 °F) to about 23 °C (73 °F).
Humphrey the Whale entered San Francisco Bay twice on errant migrations, and was successfully rescued and redirected each time in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This occurred again with Dawn and Delta a mother and calf in 2007.
Industrial, mining, and other uses of mercury have resulted in a widespread distribution in the bay, with uptake in the bay's phytoplankton and contamination of its sportfish.[6]In January 1971, two Standard Oil tanker collided in the bay, creating an 800,000 gallon oil spill disaster, which spurred environmental protection of the bay. In November 2007, a ship named COSCO Busan collided with the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge and spilled over 58,000 gallons of bunker fuel, creating the largest oil spill in the region since 1996.[7]
At times, San Francisco Bay is covered in fog.
For the first time in 65 years, Pacific Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) returned to the Bay in 2009.[8] Golden Gate Cetacean Research, a non-profit organization focused on research on cetaceans, has developed a photo-identification database enabling the scientists to identify specific porpoise individuals and is trying to ascertain whether a healthier bay has brought their return.[9] Pacific harbor porpoise range from Point Conception, California to Alaska and across to the Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan. Recent genetic studies show that there is a local stock from San Francisco to the Russian River and that eastern Pacific coastal populations rarely migrate far, unlike western Atlantic Harbor porpoise.[10]
San Francisco Bay's profile changed dramatically in the late 19th century and again with the initiation of dredging by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the 20th century. Before about 1860, most bay shores (exception: rocky shores such as those in Carquinez Strait, along Marin shoreline, Point Richmond, Golden Gate area) contained extensive wetlands that graded nearly invisibly from freshwater wetlands to salt marsh and then tidal mudflat. A deep channel ran through the center of the bay, following the ancient drowned river valley.
In the 1860s and continuing into the early 20th century, miners dumped staggering quantities of mud and gravel from hydraulic mining operations into the upper Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. GK Gilbert's estimates of debris total more than eight times the amount of rock and dirt moved during construction of the Panama Canal. This material flowed down the rivers, progressively eroding into finer and finer sediment, until it reached the bay system. Here some of it settled, eventually filling in Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, and San Francisco Bay, in decreasing order of severity.
By the end of the 19th century, these "slickens" had filled in much of the shallow bay flats, raising the entire bay profile. New marshes were created in some areas.
In the last years of the nineteenth- and first decades of the twentieth-centuries, at the behest of local political officials and following Congressional orders, the US Army Corps began dredging the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and the deep channels of San Francisco Bay. This work has continued without interruption ever since, an enormous federal subsidy of San Francisco Bay shipping. Some of the dredge spoils were initially dumped in the bay shallows (including helping to create Treasure Island on the former shoals to the north of Yerba Buena Island) and used to raise an island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The net effect of dredging has been to maintain a narrow deep channel—deeper perhaps than the original bay channel—through a much shallower bay. At the same time, most of the marsh areas have been filled or blocked off from the bay by dikes.
Large ships transiting the bay must follow deep underwater channels that are maintained by frequent dredging as the average depth of the Bay is only as deep as a swimming pool--approximately 12 to 15 ft (3.7 to 4.6 m). Between Hayward and San Mateo to San Jose it is 12 to 36 in (300 to 910 mm). The deepest part of the bay is under and out of the Golden Gate Bridge, at 372 ft (113 m). [11]
In the late 1990s, a 12-year harbor-deepening project for the Port of Oakland began; it was largely completed by September 2009. Previously, the bay waters and harbor facilities only allowed for ships with a draft of 46 ft (14 m), but dredging activities undertaken by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in partnership with the Port of Oakland succeeded in providing access for vessels with a 50-foot (15 m) draft. Four dredging companies were employed in the $432 million project, with $244 million paid for with federal funds and $188 million supplied by the Port of Oakland. Some 6,000,000 cubic yards (4,600,000 m3) of mud from the dredging was deposited at the western edge of Middle Harbor Shoreline Park to become a 188-acre (76 ha) shallow-water wetlands habitat for marine and shore life.[12][13] Further dredging followed in 2011, to maintain the navigation channel.[14][15] This dredging enabled the arrival of the largest container ship ever to enter the San Francisco Bay, the MSC Fabiola. Bay pilots trained for the visit on a simulator at the California Maritime Academy for over a year. The ship arrived drawing less than its full draft of 50 feet 10 inches (15.5 m) because it held only three-quarters of a load after its stop in Long Beach.[16]
San Francisco Bay was traversed by watercraft since before the coming of Europeans; the indigenous peoples used their canoes to fish and clam along the shoreline. The era of sail brought ships that communicated with the rest of the world and served as early ferries and freighters within the Bay and between the Bay and inland ports such as Sacramento and Stockton. These were gradually replaced by steam-powered vessels starting in the late 19th century. Several shipyards were early established around the Bay, augmented during wartime. (See e.g. Kaiser Shipyards)
San Francisco Bay is spanned by eight bridges, all of them dedicated to vehicle traffic: the Golden Gate Bridge on Highway 101 (which was the largest single span suspension bridge ever built at the time of its construction) which connects San Francisco and Marin counties and is the only bridge in the area not own by the State of California. The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on Highway 580 which connects Marin and Contra Costa counties, the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge on Highway 80 which connects Alameda and San Francisco counties, the Hayward-San Mateo Bridge on Highway 92 which connects Alameda and San Mateo counties and the Dumbarton Bridge on Highway 84 which connects Alameda and San Mateo counties. The Carquinez Bridge on Highway 80, the Benicia Bridge on Highway 680 and the Antioch Bridge on Highway 160 all connect Contra Costa and Solano county. The bay is also spanned by the Transbay Tube, an underwater tunnel through which BART runs. Prior to the construction of these infrastructures, transbay transportation was dominated by fleets of ferryboats operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Key System transit company. However, in recent decades, ferries have returned, primarily serving commuters from Marin County, relieving the traffic bottleneck of the Golden Gate Bridge. (See article Ferries of San Francisco Bay).
The Bay also continues to serve as a major international shipping port, served by a large container facility operated by the Port of Oakland, and two smaller facilities in Richmond and San Francisco.
San Francisco Bay is a mecca for sailors (boats, as well as windsurfing and kitesurfing), due to consistent strong westerly/northwesterly thermally-generated winds (Beaufort force 6 (15-25 knots) is common on summer afternoons) and protection from large open ocean swells. Yachting and yacht racing are popular pastimes and the San Francisco Bay Area is home to many of the world's top sailors. A shoreline bicycle and pedestrian trail known as the San Francisco Bay Trail encircles the edge of the bay. Parks and protected areas around the bay include Eden Landing Ecological Reserve, Hayward Regional Shoreline, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center, Crown Memorial State Beach, Eastshore State Park, Point Isabel Regional Shoreline, Brooks Island Regional Shoreline, and César Chávez Park.
The San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail is a planned system of designated trailheads designed to improve non-motorized small boat access to the bay. The California Coastal Conservancy approved funding in March 2011 to begin implementation of the water trail.
Kitesurfing and wind surfing are also popular in the bay.

Networking events have a simple structure. Walk into a room full of strangers, approach someone to talk about your business, move to the next person and repeat. It's a daunting prospect for many people – but it doesn't need to be. Here are my top five tips on how to make the most of events to build your contacts book, and eventually your business.
Manage your expectations
I often meet people who expect networking to result in immediate business. When it doesn't, they write it off. But like any other marketing tool, networking doesn't work as a one-off activity. For example, brands don't place an advertisement in a newspaper one day and then sit back and wait for the orders to roll in. They advertise regularly, they create visibility, and they certainly don't sit back and wait for the business to come to them.
Apply the same dynamics to networking. Network regularly, attend a variety of events with different groups of people, follow-up on leads and incorporate the events you attend into your wider marketing plan. Networking doesn't work unless you do.
Develop relationships
No one likes a hard sell, it's that simple. If the person you're talking to senses that you're reeling off a sales pitch, they're going to switch off.
The main purpose of networking is to promote business, and the best way to do this is to get to know people. By engaging in a conversation rather than a sales pitch, you may find that you both have a client in common, a mutual friend or similar interests. At urbanevents, one of our biggest client requests are Golf Days – you would be amazed how much business is done on the golf course! Once you've built up a rapport, your fellow networker is much more likely to be receptive when you go on to speak about your business. People are much more likely to do business with someone that they know and trust, so developing relationships with fellow networkers is essential.
Manage your time
To maximise your networking time, you have to do your homework. If you can, find out who else is attending the event and focus on those you most want to meet. When you get to the venue, ask the hosts to point them out.
If you happen to uncover a potential lead, unless it's the deal of the decade, don't spend the whole time chatting to one person. Once you know each other and your respective purposes for networking, you'll know if there is potential for a business relationship. At this point, exchange business cards, make arrangements to meet again, excuse yourself and move on.
Be a connector
Within a few minutes of conversation with another networker, you should be able to determine if there is the potential for a direct business relationship. If there isn't, don't end the conversation abruptly as there may be an opportunity for other connections. Does this person have clients that would also benefit from your services? Do you have a friend who needs a product this person offers? Referral marketing, or simply 'word-of-mouth' marketing is an extremely useful tool especially for start-ups. By referring one contact to another you become a connector, also extending your own professional network. As this network expands so do your chances of being connected in the same way. The next time this person is at an event they might meet someone in need of your services. They can then direct them to you as a trusted contact. Don't always excuse yourself from the conversation immediately; the fruits of networking aren't always instantaneous.
Bring your business cards
Last but definitely not least; bring plenty of business cards – you would be surprised at how many people miss this basic element of networking! Turning up to a networking event without business cards is like fishing without bait – how are you going to catch anything?
Even in the early start-up phase, business cards are vital. Inexpensive runs can be arranged in copy-shops and they really do make a difference. Remember to be prepared at all times; just because an event isn't labelled as 'networking' there is always an opportunity to make connections – sporting events and brunches included!
