Iraq War
Support for gun control
Jackson Lee cosponsored H.R 1022 (Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2007) on March 7, 2007.[1]
- Main article: U.S. gun legislation
Reparations for Japanese Latin Americans
Jackson Lee cosponsored The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act in the 110th Congress which would establish a commission that would determine the facts and circumstances involving the relocation, internment and deportation of Japanese Latin Americans.[2]
- Main article: Redress for Japanese Latin Americans/ U.S. legislation#Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Descent Act of 2007
Enron campaign contributions
In 1994, Jackson Lee (while serving her third term as a member of the Houston City Council) defeated incumbent Congressman Craig Washington in the Democratic primary for the 18th Congressional District of Texas. Washington had made powerful enemies, namely Houston's downtown power brokers (such as then-Enron Chief Kenneth Lay), by voting against congressional bills favoring NAFTA and NASA. Irked, Lay and other conservatives convinced then Councilwoman Jackson Lee to run against Washington, then put their sizeable deep pockets behind her campaign, despite her being a liberal Democrat. They reportably viewed her as more maleable and "agreeable." [1]
According to Brody Mullins in Congress Daily, "Enron and its employees pumped $24,000 into Jackson Lee's campaign, helping her raise nearly $600,000-three times as much as Washington raised for his previous reelection." (Quoted in PIRG report on Enron). [2]
Critics complain that Jackson Lee has a tendency to volunteer unsolicited on-camera commentary and press statements on a wide range of political issues, such as a 2003 request to use more African American-sounding names when naming hurricanes and tropical storms, feeling the current selections were too "lily white." [3] This has caused conservative critics to nickname her "Hurricane Sheila." Citing the hurricane incident, conservative pundit and former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg included Jackson-Lee in his book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, ranking her #98.
Jackson Lee volunteered herself as an unsolicited advocate for the father of Elián González in the international custody controversy and reportedly spends hours seeking out prime seating locations in the House of Representatives chamber to increase her camera visibility for special events such as the State of the Union address. She was also one of the few members of Congress to come to the defense of Michael Jackson during an ongoing criminal investigation of the pop star [4]. She also attracted controversy in 2003 by meeting with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and offering to sponsor a visit for the controversial leader to the United States.
According to the gossip columnist of a local free paper, The Houston Press, the congresswoman's reputation as a "floor hog" has also given rise to a humorous betting game among Capitol Hill staffers in other member's offices in which quarters are deposited into a jar each time she speaks. The office staff in possession of the jar when a whole day goes by without Jackson Lee speaking wins and gets to keep the contents [5].
Preferential treatment
According to the Houston Press and The Hill, Jackson Lee has also reportedly been involved in several altercations with airline flight personnel over her requests for a complimentary upgrade to first class based on her celebrity. [6]
As reported by The Hill, During a full flight on Continental Airlines Jackson Lee was denied a complimentary upgrade to first class. According to a witness interviewed by the Capitol Hill newpaper, "When she saw that she had to sit with other people, she started shouting that she was in Congress and worked hard. She was really loud. Everybody in the plane could hear." Later in the flight she is reported to have had a "friendly visit" with the displaced passengers. [7]
The Press further reports that Jackson Lee has a reputation on Capitol Hill as a "high-maintenance" employer and has exhibited one of the largest staff turnover rates for years [8]. Several former employees have cited her demeanor and incidents such as the travel arrangement altercations as a major reason why so many staffers leave her office. The Houston Chronicle reported that one staffer even quit after she threw a cell phone at him.[9]
Alleged use of the race and gender cards
Other critics have charged Jackson Lee with frequent political race baiting to obtain political goals. In a 2002 incident Jackson Lee became engaged in a shouting match with Republican Dana Rohrabacher, the Chairman of the NASA subcomittee, after Rohrabacher ruled her out of order for exceeding her allotted time for questions. Jackson Lee snapped back at Rohrabacher, "I'm the only member that you comment on. It may be that I'm the only African-American woman sitting here."[10][11] Rohrabacher responded, "Ms. Jackson Lee, that type of charge is beneath you. It is beneath your dignity." Jackson Lee also accused the Harris County (Houston) Republican Party of racism after an email it sent to members criticizing the local Democratic congressional delegation included a photograph of her but not the Democratic "white male" members from other Houston districts, despite the fact that the email was one of a series that did, in fact, include her white male Democrat colleagues.[12]
Jackson Lee was born January 12, 1950 in Queens, New York. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Yale University in 1972, followed by a J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School in 1975. Jackson Lee made two unsuccessful attempts at local judgeships before being appointed a municipal judge (1987 to 1990). In 1989 she won the At-Large Position Four seat on the Houston City Council, serving until 1994.
In 1994, Jackson Lee (while serving her third term as a member of the Houston City Council) defeated incumbent Congressman Craig Washington in the Democratic primary for the 18th Congressional District of Texas with the fundraising help of Enron and Kenneth Lay. (See "Enron" below).
Congressional Career
According to her House biography, "She has distinguished herself as a staunch defender of the Constitution, civil rights and juvenile justice, protection of America's health needs, gun safety and responsibility, economic empowerment for low and middle income America."[13]
Global race and poverty issues are also at the forefront of Jackson Lee's political agenda. Within the past few years she has traveled to South Africa to decry racism and has backed sanctions against Sudan. She is the first vice-chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus.
EBONY magazine named her one of the "100 Most Fascinating Black Women of the Century," and "Congressional Quarterly," has listed her as one of the 50 most effective members in Congress.[14]
Though known as a liberal, Jackson Lee sometimes breaks with the Democratic Party line, particularly on trade issues. In 2000 she favored permanently normalizing trade status for China, arguing that it would aid both human rights and Houston's economy. (It was also a priority for Enron Corporation, with which she has financial ties). Hoping to boost the Houston area's oil industry, Jackson Lee sided with DeLay in backing President George W. Bush's energy plan, strongly criticized by environmentalists. The two have also cosponsored a bill strengthening child protective services.
2006 elections
In 2006, Republicans nominated Ahmad R. Hassan to face Jackson Lee in her November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [15] Jackson Lee retained her seat.

Total Time
Prep10 mins
Cook20 mins
Very creamy, cream cheese adds yummy bite. Very rich, lots of variations, use onion & chive cream cheese, add diced tomatoes or ham, or both. I started making this when my son discovered mac & cheese. Kraft may be the "cheesiest" it is also the saltiest, so I keep these items on hand for lunches or comfort food dinners.
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cheddar cheese soup (Campbell's)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups cubed American cheese (Kraft makes it shaped like dinosaurs if you can't find cubes, or just tear up some slices)
- 3 cups cooked elbow macaroni (or spirals)
- grease baking dish and pre-heat oven 350°F.
- cook and drain pasta according to directions.
- in saucepan melt soup cheese cubes and cream cheese over med heat, stir in pasta, stir to evenly coat.
- transfer to greased baking dish.
- bake 20 min or until bubbly.
- let stand 5 min before serving.

once upon a time, a love lifeonce upon a time a girl fell for meMore Like This
she craved the closeness of the tides to the shore just like she
wanted me in ways i'll never know
so i figured why not
i'd always been curious so why not give her a try
we had a lovely ride
we were a secret kiss in a big, Christian forest of her father's
and he hated the love mark on her neck she failed to hide
and i know she tried to lie but he likely hated me too
the pressured caved in and i eroded,
i left.
once upon a time i fell for a boy
after two rejections that truly weren't as cold as they felt
in desperation, i tried hard to love him and it did
his fortunes weren't so grand
his feelings half-heartedly returned
we had a rocky ride
screams and arguements between each hug and kiss
not of the two of us
but of my brother and the boy i clung to
eventually i could not deal with their back and forth banter
and as the boy grew farther from me, not batting a glance some days,
i left.
once upon a time i was a princess in a story

A self-described ?gastrolounge,? Hammerheads Beer and Wine Bar serves up creative, satisfying pub dishes alongside craft beers and frozen cocktails. Its dishes add a subtle, upscale twist to pub mainstays: kaiser rolls are filled with bourbon pulled pork, and corn dog balls are wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon before meeting their fate in the deep fryer. Boneless chicken wings and their cousin, a breaded chicken-breast sandwich, are carried to tables atop beds of savory coated french fries or sweet potato fries.
Alternating red and yellow walls create a cheery atmosphere, as does the collection of surfboards and pictures scattered throughout the pub. Regular karaoke nights challenge patrons to lock vocal cords with their buddies and demonstrate their crowd-pleasing prowess by making up choreography to accompany each song. Hammerheads also offers a variety of entertainment options each week, including movie nights, live music, and live interactive shows.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Gary Gensler, who once supported market deregulation blamed for the recent financial meltdown, has been winning over members of Congress who had been skeptical of his ability to rein in Wall Street as the top U.S. futures regulator.
A former partner at Goldman Sachs, Gensler has quickly become a go-to guy for Congress as it navigates a sea of complex proposals to regulate the $300 trillion swaps market.
The biggest test of his influence as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will occur next week when key Senate committees hash out landmark derivatives reforms that will go a long way toward steering the future of financial reform in Washington.
"People on the Hill want to hear what he has to say," said Michael Greenberger, a law professor at the University of Maryland and a former CFTC official.
"He has been very, very persuasive in altering the contours of legislation," he said.
Earlier this month, just a day before jetting off to meet European lawmakers -- and fresh from doling out a scolding to Wall Street for resisting his message -- Gensler was a wanted man on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Christopher Dodd, on the verge of releasing his own financial regulatory overhaul plan, wanted to talk.
"He's a very knowledgeable guy who's well respected," said Dodd.
Lawmakers and staffers who have worked closely with Gensler describe him as articulate, well respected, fluent in the regulatory lingo, yet able to gracefully use his past experience on Wall Street to explain a complicated subject.
"He's been a pretty good chairman. He stays in constant communication with us," said Saxby Chambliss, the Republican leader on the Senate Agriculture Committee, who said Gensler has regularly called to ask to visit and has made himself available when the committee needs to talk financial reform.
"We don't always agree on everything, but he's been very open, very direct and he's been very forceful," he said.
Since he was first nominated by the Obama administration to head up the once low-profile CFTC, Gensler has consistently argued the government needed to do more to help the public understand Wall Street. The way to do that, he said, was by increasing market transparency.
But his regulatory fervor was initially met with skepticism by some in Washington.
Gensler worked on a 2000 law that exempted most over-the-counter derivatives, such as credit default swaps, from oversight during a Clinton-era stint in the Treasury Department.
The law, later called the "Enron loophole," is now blamed for contributing to the meltdown of the U.S. financial market.
His confirmation was blocked for months by Sens. Bernie Sanders, an independent, and Democrat Maria Cantwell, who expressed doubts Gensler was ready to get tough on the financial sector he was entrenched in years earlier.
Gensler, an avid marathon runner, was finally approved in May after the Obama administration proposed a plan to reform the over-the-counter derivatives market and prevent a repeat of the recent economic meltdown.
Steve Adamske, a spokesman for Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank who was instrumental in getting reform passed by the House last December, said Gensler "is a very, very effective advocate for the regulation of derivatives" and is a chairman who "certainly knows his stuff."
"He seems very dedicated to getting derivatives under regulatory control and working with us to do so," he said.
Gensler has not minced words about the House bill, which he thinks should have been a lot stronger.
Earlier this month, he encouraged Rep. Collin Peterson, chair of the House Agriculture Committee, to take another look at potential loopholes for large financial firms when House and Senate negotiators write a final version of swaps reform.
"I'm going to investigate this some more, whether there is a possibility they could get around this," Peterson told reporters after an exchange with Gensler at a hearing. "If there is, we should tighten it up." [ID:nN0358369]
Gensler has pushed the Senate to come up with tougher rules for swaps users than the House did, including clamping down on exemptions for exchange trading and clearing the trades.
The Senate banking and agriculture committees are expected to unveil further swaps reforms measures this week in their deliberations over the financial regulatory reform package.
"If he were not there, the forces for obtaining tighter regulatory controls on (the OTC) market would be vastly weaker and I'm not sure would have had any success at all," said Greenberger.
For his part, Gensler is reluctant to speculate on his role in Congress' push for reform.
"I'll leave it to others to judge whether I've been effective, but I am working with them on nearly a daily basis," Gensler told Reuters Insider.
Despite making inroads on the Hill, Gensler may still have work to do to sway some skeptics.
Sen. Cantwell, who held up Gensler's nomination last year, praised him for offering useful insight on how to improve oversight of derivatives.
But when asked if he's exceeded her expectations while at the CFTC, she said with a smile: "I want him to be even tougher."

Got my soil test back... the power of mulch!
My vegetable garden was a weedy patch of lawn in April. This weekend I dug up some samples in various places around my property to send them off for soil testing, including the garden.
3 months later, with nothing but vegetables and 10" of old straw for mulch (which is now about 2"), my soil has visibly approved in appearance, depth of color and tilth. The dirt directly adjacent to it is still clay, but the vegetable garden came back as light clay or loam.
I could use a little phosphorus, but that is easily corrected. And maybe a little lime to offset the recent pH drop.
This is probably the best native soil I've ever had -- no wonder the garden is gangbusters this year -- and I've scarcely started working on it! Of course, go over a foot down and you still start hitting rocks and hard clay, but give it time.
For the geeks:
Soil pH = 5.3 pH (was 5.9... drop probably due to increased organic matter in soil)
Phosphorus P = 30 lb/acre
Potassium K = 233 lb/acre
Magnesium Mg = 182 lb/acre
Calcium Ca = 1567 lb/acre
CEC = 4.6-9.0 cmolckg-1
The drop in soil pH is not due to organic matter since OM does not significantly affect soil pH. Did the test lab suggest what you might do to get that soils pH closer to the more optimal 6.2 to 6.8, although it does look like the major nutrients are readily avaialable enough for the plants you are growing.
What is the humus levels?
Without venturing too far into the realm of soil chemistry, decay of organic matter acidifies soil in the short term by increasing available hydrogen+ ions. When you already have acidic soil, the effect can be quite dramatic. (Long term, additional organic matter buffers pH, but this plot is very much in the "short term" phase.)
Given the very adequate levels of magnesium and calcium in the soil, the strongly acid pH doesn't appear to be indicative of soil depletion. Having 8" of straw decay into the soil in less than 3 months is a lot of extra hydrogen.
They gave the typical advice to apply lime to tie up that excess hydrogen.
They didn't offer a humus test, but I am pretty sure it's fairly low. By touch and sight I'd say it has improved a lot. It's been "lawn" for 50 years... a lawn that doesn't even have a high percentage of grass in it, and most of the plants in it have fairly shallow root systems.
I am hoping the fall root crops will help start to bust up those dense lower layers.
I don't know how they determined soil type, DrH. Probably by "eyeball" method. I have a lot of small rocks in the soil that look like sandstone to me but should be limestone. It's possible that the initial tilling and soil disturbance eroded these rocks enough to contribute some silt.
Techically, according to the USDA soil survey in 2006, my soil is "Baxter cherty silt loam, eroded, rolling."
Typical profile:
0 to 12 inches: Gravelly silt loam
12 to 48 inches: Gravelly silty clay loam
48 to 60 inches: Gravelly clay
I don't seem to have the upper layer they mention, though.
Testing the humus level in your soil is farily simple. A 1 quart clear jar with staight sides and a tight cap is all that is needd. Sample the soil and mix it together very well and then put enough of ot that soil into that 1 quart jar to make 4 inches of that soil (mine is marked in 1 inch increments with a felt marker) and then fill the jar with water. Put the lid on, tightly, and then shake the jar vigorously. Let that then sit for at least 24 hours and look at how the various substances in the soil settle out. Sand, the largest and heaviest soil particle will settle on the bottom, silt next, and then clay. Organic matter will be on top.
Loam is a specific soil type that has about 45 percent sand, 25 percent silt, 25 percent clay, and about 5 percent organic matter, adding organic matter to a mostly clay soil is not going to make that soil into loam.
All of the research that I have seen on adding organic matter to soil tells me that the organic matter does not make a signifanct change in the soils pH. Adding minerals such as lime, Magnesium, Sulfur, Ammonium Sulfate, etc. will change soil pH over time, but not organic matter.
The pH drop may be caused by the rapid OM decay and the fact that newly cultivated soil has leached base cations. Did you experience above normal rainfall?
I wonder what your base saturation percentages were and what they are now? Gaining the proper base saturation levels for your soil type is a worthy project, as well as appropriate amendment to adjust the pH.
Acidity is normally caused over years by rain and leaching, acidic parent material, OM decay, and harvest of crops.
Keep records of your soil tests and note the effects of your amendments. Use the same testing lab but consider broadening the analysis to include base percentages.
How did your crops perform?
We are actually behind in rainfall for the year by about 10", but we got a LOT of rain in the spring not long after the soil was turned. (Enough to put Nashville under 24 feet of water.) A typical rainfall here is pouring buckets for 15 minutes and then the sun comes back out. We rarely get those long, soaking rainfalls.
Acidic soil is normal for this region. 5.3 is lower than normal, though.
My crops did/are doing fantastic this year; much better than I expected for a throw-them-in-the-ground and see-what-happens experimental year. Squashes and cukes were especially productive, and the one eggplant that survived the flea beetles is setting an astonishing amount of fruit. Good taste, too, especially from the tomatoes and peppers, although my serrano peppers were not as hot as they should be.
The lab only offers one panel -- what I got. If I want more, I have to find a different lab.

Just One Thing: A Fedora
What a difference a felted topper makes. It's a wardrobe game-changer — no matter your look, whether casual or polished, a fedora ups the ante on your insouciance factor. Can it go beguiling and sexy? Mais oui. Consider Maria Schneider in Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris (above).
Which reminds us, it's Tango's 40th anniversary. For all that's been written about its X-rated provocation, the movie endures for its push and pull of emotions and now-iconic snapshots of the Seventies, from the powerful score to its mesmerizing cinematography of Paris. And the fashion. Schneider's Jeanne seduces in nonchalant fur coats, belted minis, knitted scarves and that one unforgettable fedora.

Most bad@$$ ad carry. (in your oppinion)
Just post whoever you consider the most awesome ad carry around.
(who cares if they aren't the best stat wise) Just who you find to be the most epic due to their attitude / fighting style.
Varus is on the top of the list for me.
You might get a lot of this response, but ever since I started Ezreal around 6 months ago I have loved his voice, his style, his character model, he might dance like a ***** but he's one badass dude. Vayne comes in second in this category for me, pretty hardcore personality lol
Uhm. Massive Damage output if played correctly, a pretty funny person in general, cocky to the point of people making This.
I would have to say Varus also. just because of the coruption thing he has going, That and he has an awesome style of weapon. (double bow)

Rebellious Notts: Sleaford Mods & Kagoule
- Details
- 28th January 2015
- Comments
Words by Ajay Stevenson, photos by Liam Westnidge.
Last night, Tuesday 27th January 2015, was incredible.
We're very proud to have had Nottingham's underdogs Sleaford Mods play a monumental sell-out show on our stage.
It's a big deal, one of their biggest gigs yet, but you wouldn't know it. Frontman Jason Williamson casually strolls in a couple of hours before the gig & grabs a beer or two in the bar, which tells you everything you need to know - he's the normal, pint sipping every-man. Their appeal stems from this exact fact - disaffected Brits everywhere (not to mention folks overseas too) can see a bit of themselves in the scathing, discontented scowl of Sleaford Mods.
They take to the stage as the perfect duo. Jason's about-to-bring-the-truth-to-the-masses assured swagger versus Andrew Fearn's casual stroll to settle in for the night, bottle of beer in hand. Fearn's the man behind the relentless beats that give Sleaford Mods their unstoppable drive, and on stage he's clearly more than happy to sit back, standing behind his laptop, and let Jason let rip. It's actually refreshing to see him standing and head-bopping, enjoying their own music while swigging a lager, again making them seem more like punters than rockstars.
The extended set flies by, a tirade of thumping beats and basslines with punk poetry and shouted epiphanies on life, work and where we're at as a country. 'Ello Derby' Williamson says at one point, joking with the crowd, while his lyrics on the City Council and common sights to see while walking past Notts' Wilkos show that they have nothing but heartfelt, angry, emotional, twisted love for their city and it's people. They're local lads, and now they're taking the home-grown, uniquely Nottingham sound to stages across the world.
It's fitting then that their support, Kagoule, are making ripples too. While the older chaps of Sleaford Mods hurl their anti-establishment tirades with a world-weary anger, the young grunge-noise-makers of Kagoule bring a freshness to their 90s-influenced sound in a way that is defiantly Notts. The trio are self-confessed lovers of Smashing Pumpkins & Sonic Youth, and you can hear the adoration in their tunes. Re-use & recycle, take what you know, what you've grown up with, mess it around, put your own spin on it, and create something entirely new. Kagoule have nailed a killer combination of rock, grunge and punk that's gone down a storm when they've supported the likes of Drenge and Temples. Their live show is a chest-thumping wall of fuzzy, heavy guitar and pounding drums that easily fills our venue room and has managed to drag all our gig-goers down nice and early to make sure they catch the rebellious show.
All in all, an incredible night of music, with a sold-out, eager turn out from all corners of Notts. While we've seen the likes of Saint Raymond, Indiana and Amber Run rise up to take the pop-geniusness of Nottingham's songwriters to the national (even global) stage, it's now equally refreshing to see the underground, rebellious sounds of Sleaford Mods leading the way for other underdogs. After all, this is the city that raised Robin Hood, right? It's time for the modern musical equivalents to rise up and take on the world.

I did everything except I forgot to backup first. Now everytime i start up the phone, open camera or open gallery it comes "Gallery has crashed".
Anyone knows what I might have done wrong? I used ROM Manager -> Boot into clockwordmod recovery -> flash zip -> and i chose the zip.
The camera is working trough apps like Snapchat, but not trough the stock app.
I could also use the stock 4.1.2 gallery and camera .apk so I atleast can get back my camera.
I am running on 4.1.2 takju nexus, with Air Kernel 3.0.46.
Please help.

New Zealand, and more pinks
I love the fragrance of New Zealand, it's always a treat to see it in bloom.
New Zealand
Marchioness of Londonderry is one of my favorites of the Hybrid Perpetuals. The blooms resemble a Hybrid Tea, have a lovely fragrance.
Clotilde Soupert has fragrant blooms that resemble small powder puffs.
Krista what GORGEOUS looking roses you have. MARCHIONESS OF LONDONDERRY is just about more than this old country boy can pronounce. So for this time I'm just going to call it SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL and I can see why it would become my favorite also. THANK you sooo... much for sharing them with us and hope to see more soon.
I am so happy to see you here, Krista. Very delicate beautiful blooms from New Zealand and Marchioness of Londonderry, the pinks are so soft almost like swans' feathers!
Krista, you must be sure to post those 2 enchanting bee photos. Also your Marchesa Boccella is truly magnificent, very unique. I've never! seen a rose like it, so you have to be sure to place that up as well. (Image_8330).
Everyone would be really, really wowed by the curls of its petals. Marchesa is truly a designer rose and I am sure everyone would fall head over heels with that gorgeous bloom.
Thank you for the magic of your OGRs.
Krista, I love all three of your beautiful pink roses. If I would have to pick a favorite out of the three it would be New Zealand, at least today ;-)!
Thanks for posting! It is nice to see some ORGs here on the Rose Gallery, too. Please, keep the pictures coming (old and/or modern roses)!

SF may soon get 2 Target stores
San Francisco residents soon may not need to drive to Daly City or Colma to get their Target fix. The retail chain store is floating plans to open two locations in the city by the spring of 2012.
Officials from the retail chain held a meeting with residents Wednesday night at the Geary and Masonic site to discuss moving into the former Mervyns.
The proposed site would occupy both floors of the former department store and would be about 100,000 square feet, said Thom Lasley, Target's senior design project architect.
"The exterior of City Plaza is going to change to be more inviting to residents," Lasley said. Company officials are considering adding more window displays and possibly an outside cafe.
John Dewes, Target's regional development manager, said the company is looking at opening stores in urban areas. He said Target would provide about 250 jobs at each location.
Most neighbors who spoke at the meeting said they were in favor of Target moving in. Some raised concerns about traffic congestion along Masonic Avenue, to which Dewes said Target and city officials would look into the problem.
Residents said they wanted assurance that Target would not add to the neighborhood's parking crunch typified by the Trader Joe's across the street. Target would take 236 of the 600 parking spaces in the retail complex.
"A parking analysis was done and we feel the parking is adequate for the site," Dewes said. He suggested residents take the bus, ride a bike or walk.
Michelle Conley and Lisa Toney, co-owners of Curves Fitness and Health Club in the City Plaza complex, welcomed the idea of Target moving in. "It would be great for business and there would be more foot traffic around the plaza," Toney said.
The second proposed site is at Mission and Fourth streets, inside the Metreon. Dewes said Target would take the first and second floors and would be about the same size as the Masonic Avenue store.
Target has not yet submitted paperwork to the city, but plans to do so following community meetings. Target will then face the Planning Commission, which has previously rejected box stores such as Home Depot. Several residents said they would appear before a future commission hearing to support Target.
"This would be good not just for the district, but for the city," said one neighbor, Benita Sondini. She said residents of the neighborhood do not want go all the way to Daly City. "I won't have to drive to Serramonte anymore."

Reviews summary
Based on 55 reviews
The Samsung Gravity is a candy bar phone that slides open lengthwise, revealing a spacious, full QWERTY keyboard. The Gravity is yet another in a series of new phones from Samsung that puts a quality QWERTY keyboard in the hands of casual users who like to text but do not want a full-blown smartphone.
When closed, the Gravity offers a slim, if not a bit thick, profile, with an alpha-numeric keypad, a 2.1-inch, 176 x 220 pixel resolution display, navigation array and several familiar dedicated keys to make phone calls and other simple tasks….simple.
But with the flip of the thumb you also have access to a full QWERTY keyboard, making text messaging and emailing not only easy, but a real pleasure. For an entry-level phone with a focus on texting, the Samsung Gravity does a nice job.
Beyond the thoughtful use of the QWERTY keyboard, the Gravity offers a 1.2 MP camera, customizable 1,000 contact address book, speakerphone, MMS, basic MP3 player, voice recorder and instant messaging via all major IM services.
People who use their phones primarily for calls and texting will enjoy the form factor and ease of use. The other features will simply be a bonus.
Pros: Horizontal slider form factor allows for a spacious keyboard, fun features, easy to use.
Cons: Limited capability, display resolution could be crisper. Call quality could better.
Verdict: A smart choice for a non-smartphone. Folks looking for a durable phone that makes texting easy should consider the Samsung Gravity.
Specs summary
The Samsung Gravity's screen resolution is 176 x 220 pixels.
The phone runs on the Other operating system (OS).
Internal memory is 60 MB. An external, MicroSD (up to 4 GB) expansion slot is available for increased storage capacity.

In acute pulmonary embolism, right ventricular (RV) failure may result from exceeding myocardial contractile resources with respect to the state of vascular afterload. We investigated the adaptation of RV performance in a porcine model of progressive pulmonary embolism. Twelve anesthetized pigs were randomly divided into two groups: gradual pulmonary arterial pressure increases by three injections of autologous blood clot (n = 6) or sham-operated controls (n = 6). Right ventricular pressure-volume (PV) loops were recorded using a conductance catheter. Right ventricular contractility was estimated by the slope of the end-systolic PV relationship (Ees). Afterload was referred to as pulmonary arterial elastance (Ea) and assessed using a four-element Windkessel model. Right ventricular-arterial coupling (Ees/Ea) and efficiency of energy transfer (from PV area to external mechanical work [stroke work]) were assessed at baseline and every 30 min for 4 h. Eaincreased progressively after embolization, from 0.26 +/- 0.04 to 2.2 +/- 0.7 mmHg mL (P < 0.05). Ees increased from 1.01 +/-0.07 to 2.35 +/- 0.27 mmHg mL (P < 0.05) after the first two injections but failed to increase any further. As a result, Ees/Ea initially decreased to values associated with optimal SW, but the last injection was responsible for Ees/Ea values less than 1, decreased stroke volume, and RV dilation. Stroke work/PV area consistently decreased with each injection from 79% +/- 3% to 39% +/- 11% (P < 0.05). In response to gradual increases in afterload, RV contractility reserve was recruited to a point of optimal coupling but submaximal efficiency. Further afterload increases led to RV-vascular uncoupling and failure. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 30 (5 ULg)

A minimal cardiac model has been shown to accurately capture a wide range of cardiovascular system dynamics commonly seen in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, standard parameter identification methods for this model are highly non-linear and non-convex, hindering real-time clinical application. An integral-based identification method that transforms the problem into a linear, convex problem, has been previously developed, but was only applied on continuous simulated data with random noise. This paper extends the method to handle discrete sets of clinical data, unmodelled dynamics, a significantly reduced data set theta requires only the minimum and maximum values of the pressure in the aorta, pulmonary artery and the volumes in the ventricles. The importance of integrals in the formulation for noise reduction is illustrated by demonstrating instability in the identification using simple derivative-based approaches. The cardiovascular system (CVS) model and parameter identification method are then clinically validated on porcine data for pulmonary embolism. Errors for the identified model are within 10% when re-simulated and compared to clinical data. All identified parameter trends match clinically expected changes. This work represents the first clinical validation of these models, methods and approach to cardiovascular diagnosis in critical care. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Although reperfusion after coronary occlusion is mandatory for myocardial salvage, reperfusion may trigger a cascade of harmful events (reperfusion injury) adding to myocardial injury. We investigated effects of reperfusion on left ventricular (LV) haemodynamics and ventriculo-arterial (VA) coupling in pigs following acute myocardial ischaemia induced by coronary artery occlusion. Experiments were performed in six animals, with measurements of cardiac and arterial function at baseline, after 60 min of ischaemia (T60) and after 2 (T180) and 4 h of reperfusion (T300). Ventriculo-arterial coupling was assessed using the ventriculo-arterial elastance ratio of paper, as well as using a 'stiffness coupling' and 'temporal coupling' index. Reperfusion following ischaemia (T180 versus T60) induced a progressive decline in cardiovascular function, evidenced by a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac output and ejection fraction which was not restored at T300. Although reperfusion also induced an increase in slope of the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR), the ESPVR curve shifted to the right, associated with a depression of contractile function. Histology demonstrated irreversible myocardial damage at T300. The ventriculo-arterial elastance ratio and the 'stiffness coupling' index were unaffected throughout the protocol, but the 'temporal coupling' parameter indicated a relative shift between heart period and the time constant of the arterial system. It is unlikely that these alterations are attributable to ischaemic injury alone. The combination of both the stiffness and temporal coupling index may provide more information when studying ventriculo-arterial coupling than the more commonly used ventricular end-systolic stiffness/effection arterial elastance (E-es/E-a) ratio.

Cardiovascular disturbances are difficult to diagnose and treat because of the large range of possible underlying dysfunctions combined with regulatory reflex mechanisms that can result in conflicting clinical data. Thus, medical professionals often rely on experience and intuition to optimize hemodynamics in the critically ill. This paper combines an existing minimal cardiovascular system model with an extended integral based parameter identification method to track the evolution of induced pulmonary embolism in porcine data. The model accounts for ventricular interaction dynamics and is shown to predict an increase in the right ventricle expansion index and a decrease in septum volume consistent with known physiological response to pulmonary embolism. The full range of hemodynamic responses was captured with mean prediction errors of 4.1% in the pressures and 3.1% in the volumes for 6 sets of clinical data. Pulmonary resistance increased significantly with the onset of embolism in all cases, as expected, with the percentage increase ranging from 89.98% to 261.44% of the initial state. These results are an important first step towards model-based cardiac diagnosis in the Intensive Care Unit. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 18 (6 ULg)
