Grace Dent on TV: Jamie Oliver's shameless helping of food porn is just a pukka treat
This week Grace watched... Jamie's Comfort Food, Channel 4
Before I begin my appraisal of Jamie Oliver's new Channel 4 offering, Comfort Food, which contains no recipes and this week actually devoted 10 whole minutes to "assembling a beef burger", I must admit to flagrant bias.
I really like Jamie Oliver. I always have. His books sit in my kitchen spattered with puttanesca sauce and dappled with floury fingerprints. I'll tolerate no negative jibber-jabber about the tousle-haired, wood-fired-kiln-botherer. Fifteen years, we've been on this journey – me and him –sometimes on a Vespa, sometimes through Italy or North America or Cornwall, sometimes in his Nan Tiger's back pantry or his Dad's boozer. Now we are in a forest, poking a burger with a stick and learning to make macaroni cheese. And I can't say I'm unhappy about it.
Oh, sneerers may sneer, but my love is pure. Oliver has made me and millions of others a better cook. There is a recipe in his 30-Minute Meals book for chicken pie with peas à la française, which, I swear, will always save the day when one finds oneself staring blankly at the clock mumbling, "I'm SURE there's something important happening tonight that I've forgotten… Ooh, doorbell. I wasn't expecting guests… Bollocks." Obviously, if you're reading this and are under 25 years old, relax. People will be sated by 16 cans of Kestrel Pilsner, a sharing bag of pickled onion Spooky Spaceships and carte blanche to vomit in next door's conifer hedge.
However, as the years pass, have no doubt that one's friends will become ever more arduously grasping in their dining demands. This is when one becomes terribly grateful for Oliver's "pukka" meatballs and his "good old" recipe for "pimped-up" jacket potatoes.
Clearly other television chefs, like Michel Roux Jr, have more credibility, but, to my mind, their practical appeal is limited. Roux seems like a charming man, on the evidence of his endless patience with the sort of berks who give up their jobs as brain surgeons to enter MasterChef. But what use is Roux on a wet Tuesday night when all the cupboard holds is a tin of skipjack tuna flakes and a forlorn bag of pasta bow ties? Would Roux pad at least three pages in a recipe book simply by merging the bow ties and tuna, scattering them with cheese and calling it something like "Buddy Bear and Joolzies' pyjamas and EastEnders Last-Minute Supsups", not forgetting to add photos of his family in elegant sleeptime linen and soft focus, looking achingly perfect. Non.
Incidentally, Jools featured in the first episode of Comfort Food, nibbling a pavlova, smiling prettily and displaying the very slim, toned brown arms of a woman whose expensive personal trainer and beach holidays are quite possibly paid for by the Asda book buyers' mega bulk buy of Comfort Food alone.
Clearly, if you like the show, you will need the book. During this pleasant half-hour of television, no one seems overly bothered with frivolities like measurements. There have been many jokes about "food porn" since the arrival of Nigella kneeling by her fridge in her nightie, but Comfort Food is the most shameless display of culinary "money shots" pushed through as educational programming ever risked.
Bacon turns gloriously brown in an inch of oil while Oliver eggs it on like a coy lover. Cheese melts slowly, dripping over a moist burger, laid on to a bed of iceberg chopped into "special" sauce that is little more than ketchup and mayo. Jamie and his mate Christian coo and leer over the perfect burger, pointing out its curves and extremities, like two lads weighing up the dancefloor at Pulse Nitespot in Garstang. Long, intimate camera time is devoted to white lobster meat falling easily from a cracked tail into a vat of unctious macaroni cheese. Let's not get bogged down in the awfulness of how to carry home a lobster or kill it. Let's not think about the reality of serving burgers to one's mates as "dinner" and seeing their thankless faces.
Nothing horrible or difficult happens during Comfort Food. Oliver makes a pavlova with an under-four year-old in close proximity and no one needs Valium or to be hosed down afterwards. In the future, all cookery shows will be like this. Cookery shows for an audience who have no intention whatsoever of cooking, and in fact may never do anything more adventurous than fill a Pot Noodle to the "fill level" line, yet who still really enjoy the visual thrill of watching food being prepared.
I'm not sure where food shows go from here. By 2040 Jamie may be filmed in a farmhouse kitchen simply pouring cereal, slow motion, into a china bowl. Ice-cold milk sloshing slowly on to the flakes. A lovingly sourced cereal spoon clinking prettily, as it sprinkles brown sugar daintily. Jools in her jimjams looking pretty but starving. Jamie placing pieces of bread slowly into an expensive toaster while talking us breathily through how nice toast is with butter. Maybe with jam. Maybe with marmalade. Maybe with a pukka cup of tea! He won't go into a lot of detail. It's all in the book if you want to buy it. I'll roll my eyes for a bit and then do an Amazon pre-order.

Shoemaker's start unravels in the seventh, as Angels lose, 3-2, to Seattle
May 4th, 2015, 9:45 pm by BY PEDRO MOURAANAHEIM — Matt Shoemaker dominated Monday's first six innings at Angel Stadium. He struck out eight Seattle Mariners, allowed them just one shift-beating single.
And then, leading off the seventh, the Angels right-hander threw Nelson Cruz a two-strike splitter that had to be a mistake, right over the middle of the plate. Cruz hit it into the left-field bleachers for his major-league-leading 14th home run.
That was the only sign the domination wouldn't continue; Shoemaker gave up two more solo homers, ...

Resting on the deck in the suns rays two fishermen chat and do various small tasks after a very early morning of fishing. Most boats head out to sea by 5:30 am to get their catch. After they return to harbor they clean their catch, a huge task in my opinion and then take them to be weighed in and sold. A good catch is around 3200 lbs and up so I understood. You can see the seagulls in the water in front of the stage where they had all gathered to eagerly feast on the scraps of the catch as it was cleaned. Then they get to get ready for the next trip back out to the open waters to once again search for the large schools of fish. We were there when the Mackerel Season was open and it seemed most of the boats we saw were having success with their trips out.

After many years living in suburb I moved to Boston. I fall in love with this unique city, which offers a blend of historic charm and sophisticated style. I travel, I take photos and I cook. And now I have my new passion, hosting guests from all over the world.
Thank you for stopping by, and hope you will be my guest in one of my lovely apartments in the city...
Emma has completed online and offline ID verification.
The room was really nice, the house is next to Harvard just by few minutes walking. Emma was a kind and friendly who made my stay comfortable. I would strongly recommend this place for anyone visiting new England.
It was great when I found a piece of message from the owner on the desk. Also she gave me an email just before leaving. Kind of her. The place was on a wondderful location! I love it :)
We had a great experience staying at Emma's place. Emma was so welcoming and very responsive to any questions via email or text. The apartment was wonderful. Well kept and in a great location near all of the sites - very walkable!
Exact match of the ad and what we got. Very nice place. Emma is very friendly, pragmatic and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and no problems!
The host was great.! It as a very nice place, excellent location. I completely recommend it! Great place, clean nice, organized.
This is the quintessential Beacon Hill apartment! It's small and cozy, and its' slightly shabby chic would fit the bill for anyone who wants experience a truly authentic Boston experience in one of the city's most historic neighborhoods. The apartment could use a little fixing up here and there, but that only adds to its particular old world charms. It's a real gem and if you want to be close to the best Boston has to offer this is the place to be. Emma was a most accommodating host, meeting me at the apartment on my arrival and addressing all my concerns during my stay with the upmost courtesy and respect. She was very prompt is responding to all my questions and concerns and resolved any problems that came up quickly and easily. The apartment is on the first floor of a 5 story walk up with 8 apartments. The building is old and has paper-thin walls so sound tends to travel. The building is in the heart of the city and it can be a little noisy from time to time. There is a fair amount noise with other building residents coming and going through the front door and up the hall stairs to the other apartments upstairs. Also the people in the apartment directly above were noisy a few times late at night. The are a number of bars nearby and many young people live in the area. Bars and young people often mean late night noise in the nieghborhood. This is all part of big city living. I found it helpful to sleep with earplugs at night, so I rarely had a problem with the nightly noise level and slept well. The bed was comfortable, firmer and smaller then most. I couldn't tell you what size it was officially, but at 6', I had to sleep diagonially across the bed corner to corner, or my ankles would go over the edge of the mattress. Again, not a huge problem, I got used to it very quickly. Internet access is provided and works well, but if you have to get any serious computer work done I would recommend bringing your own 8 to 12 foot ethernet cable with you and plugging it directly into the cable modem in the living room. The apartment's Wifi connection is simply too unreliable to get work done. This is due to too many Wifi devices in a densely populated area of the city. There is a coin operated laundry in the basement which needs lots of quarters to make it work. I found laundry soap under the kitchen sink. I can heartedly recommend this apartment and Emma is a great host!
The location is amazing. The room is comfortable. Just ehat I needed.
Thank you for your kindness. I rapidly started to spend a new life in Boston. Actually, I started a job on the arrival day. The location is also perfect for my work and sightseeings.
Having Hayan stay with us was fabulous. We really loved having the chance of knowing her, she's a very sweet, respectful and cheerful person, and everything went like a breeze. We would be very happy to host her again any time.
Emma is a wonderful and kind woman, so polite and interesting ! I loved to meet and talk with her and I Hope to see her soon again!
Emma she is a great guest, very friendly and easy to talk to, she left the apartment very tidy. I would gladly host them back anytime, and recommend highly to any other hosts. Thanks
Amazing wonderful guest, very friendly, cheerfuland, considerate, charming, clean and quiet...in short all around wonderful guest! İt has been an absolute pleasure hosting her. İ would highly recommend Emma to others and always welcome back!
Haiyan and her boyfriend are a wonderful couple, awesome guests.
We stayed in Haiyan's apartment on Harvard Street in July for nine days. We had a fabulous time. Haiyan was a terrific host, providing our family with everything we needed and more for our stay. They apartment was spacious, lovely, well appointed, in walking distance to everything in Cambridge. There was AC and Wifi. We would absolutely stay here again.
Haiyan's condo was the ideal alternative to a hotel room while we were vacationing in the Boston/Cambridge area. Though we did not meet here, communication via email/text made the entire stay effortless. We would not hesitate staying at her residence again. Julie//Doug, Sacramento, CA
We recently had a family emergency and needed to stay in the Boston area for a few weeks. We searched diligently for a safe, clean and well priced apartment. Not only did we succeed in accomplishing those things but we found Haiyan to be the most pleasant, understanding person that we could have ever hoped to rent from. She met our every need and was very sympathetic to our plight. Although we only got to be with her briefly, we know she is a very special person and she really cares about people. We certainly look forward to working together with Haiyan in the future and we strongly reccomend her. Ralph and Carmen Doral Florida

Hastings' veteran golf team is unusually close, remarkably good, and back at the state meet.
Jacob Cooper is one of three Hastings golfers to be named all-state last year.
Golf is an individual sport but just don't explain it that way to the Hastings boys' golf team.
"We play together," senior Jacob Cooper said. "We've all played hockey together at some point, a few of us have played football together. We hang out together, grew up together, went to school together.
''We're always together, and everything we've done [in golf] has been together."
The Raiders' six-player squad consists of five seniors and a junior, many of whom have been on the team since seventh grade. Hastings might be the deepest team that tees it up in the Class 3A state tournament Tuesday and Wednesday at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids.
"You won't find a closer team, I can tell you that," junior Matthew Radke said.
That closeness, Cooper said, is a reason the Raiders, who finished fourth in last year's tournament, have been so consistent this year.
All season, Hastings has been at or near the top of the team rankings compiled by the Minnesota Golf Association. Heading into the postseason, it was third, one spot behind a talented Lakeville North team that was in the same section.
"We made it to state last year, and had everyone coming back. We knew this was going to be a great opportunity for a good season," said coach Pete McGinnis, noting three of his players — Cooper, Radke and senior Sam Otto — made all-state last season. "But we switched sections, and that changed things a lot.
"We just had the mind-set that we could play with anyone if we came out and really competed. The kids just said, 'We have to beat [Lakeville North] at some point. Why not now?' "
In the first round of the Class 3A, Section 1 tournament, which began May 31 and didn't wrap up until June 3 due to weather delays, Hastings fired a season-low, 1-under par 287 to take a three-shot lead over Lakeville North. Cooper led the way with a 67, the lowest score of his career.
"All season, we've been a team that's never played under pressure and lost," Cooper said. "A three-shot lead against the No. 1 or 2 team in state, we knew what we needed to do."
In the second round Cooper and Radke both shot 71. Combined with solid play from seniors Otto, Mark Huneke, Dominick Bacon and Nick Tusa, the Raiders wound up with a six-shot victory and a trip to state for the second consecutive year.
"A lot of these kids have been on the team for five, six years, and we've been building toward this year," McGinnis said. "This is just a special group."
Hastings has made 16 trips to the state tournament, but hasn't won a title since 1986. Cooper expects his team to change that, but the final result at state won't determine the season's success.
"If we don't win it, we'll be upset," he said, "but I just want us to play solid rounds, do it with class and really enjoy it. As long as we're playing for each other, we'll be OK."

I gather that in wishing for a 13% share price decline, you smart investors do not yet own GILD.
There used to be a feature on SA which disclosed the credentials of the authors. I seldom visit it anymore because I don't find much useful analysis there. ( Anyway, it always seemed to me that some of the most worthwhile posts there were by the civilians, rather than by those with a background in finance.) Importantly, the SA posters are paid per view, so it makes sense to post articles supportive of the retail investor's viewpoint. I recall that as ARNA sank slowly into the sunset, the only longs who were making money on it were those who posted pump pieces on SA.
Today's Barron's has a feature article by Jack Hough, "Abbie Vie: Big Pharma at a Discount Price". Hough argues for a higher valuation for ABBV, based on its relatively low p/e, pipeline potential, and, surprisingly, the prospect that the expected decline in Harvoni sales can be partly replaced by new revenue from Viekira. He projects Viekira peak revenues of $3.4B next year, eventually sliding to $2.6B by 2019. This seems to be wildly out of line with the Credit-Suisse analyst's projections for the entire HCV market. C-S has slashed their projections for GILD's 2019 HCV revenues from $12.56B to $9.2B. This is based upon gradually declining prices and increased competition, mostly from MRK rather than ABBV. If C-S is correct, then Hough's figures mean that ABBV would have market share in 2019 equivalent to 28% of GILD's, which seems farfetched to me. If things follow true to form, the Barron's article should result in a modest pop for ABBV tomorrow - perhaps a more sizable pop if traders use it as an opportunity to attack shorts. This might be an opportune point to exit for some.
Credit-Suisse's price targets for GILD had been modest until 2013 -- often below the price that the stock was trading for at the time. The imminent launch of Sovaldi and Harvoni caused them to become more sanguine. In Nov '13, with the stock at 71.08, they raised their pt to 90. In Dec '13 (just a month later), with the stock at 72.81, they raised it again to 110. In Oct.'14, with the stock at 113.45, they raised their pt to 130. Now, with the stock at around 100, they have lowered their pt to 115. They base this on 13.8x their 2016 estimate of $8.31 eps. Interestingly, they project eps peaking at $8.42 in 2015 before declining to $8.31 in 2016 and $8.16 in 2017. The decline in eps would have been steeper if they had not included the effect os share buybacks. They revised their estimates for HIV revenues upward over those years by 4%(although still projecting HIV revenues to gradually drop), and increased their estimates for "other" lines by 11%.
Some of the confusion here may be due to the fact that before their downgrade, C-S had issued a report immediately after earnings, which maintained the price target of 130, based on 14.1x 2016 eps estimate of $9.21.
Whatever you think of his analysis, Mehrota, the C-S analyst, is a star at the moment. He said what no one else had said - at least publicly - and he moved the stock.
I think other reductions in estimates will follow, in effect justifying the move downward in most of the price targets. But I'll be curious to see how those who moved their price targets up rationalize it. We should note that the Credit-Suisse revaluation involves not only lower markups on Harvoni, but new estimates for HIV products, calculations of the effect of share buybacks, an allowance for the institution of the dividend, etc. They had those interns up for some all-nighters.
correction: ABBV's drug in decline is obvious Humira, not Harvoni
Hi traderrook, At one time I was a much more active trader and a fairly active shortseller. However, I feel that it's generally hard to succeed shorting stocks in a rising market -- look at the dismal performance of the large long/short hedge funds last year. Mostly I now concentrate on trying to pick winning categories. Over recent years, I've done very well with pharma stocks. But I am now suspicious of all the large cap pharmas for a number of reasons:
(1) I believe that the ESRX deal with ABBV was a watershed. It obviously resulted in the net discount on Sovaldi/Harvoni moving from 22% to 46% in a single quarter. The era of "whatever the traffic will bear" pricing is over.
(2) There is substantial political risk in the current pricing structures. The media agitation over high drug prices continues and the Obama budget argues for letting HHS negotiate for prescription drug prices. What if Paul Ryan, in the interest of controlling health spending, were to back this proposal?
(3) The rise of biosimilars. AN FDA panel recently recommended 14-0 the approval of Sandoz's Zarxio, a biosimilar to Amgen's Neupogen. With biosimilars, the hurdle to approval is much lower than with generics. Pfizer just paid $15B for Hospira, and they didn't do it to get into the IV market, but to get their biosimilar expertise.
(4) There is a lot more competition. In addition to the forthcoming competition from MRK and BMY, the Credit-Suisse analyst predicts the
arrival of half a dozen new HCV drugs a few years out. There are lots of
protease inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, etc. and therefore lots of
potential combo therapies for lots of diseases.
I still think there's money to be made in early stage pharmas. But I'm staying away from the big guys.
No, I posted because I thought the article might be of interest to those here who follow ABBV... many apparently own both stocks. Whether you generally give credence to the Barron's writers or not, their articles do move stocks in the very short term. ( Incidentally, as I'm sure you know, a lot of the pieces cited under "Barron's says ..." - not this one - are actually just research pieces from various analysts reprinted by Barron's.) We all have stories of missed opportunity like your Cephalon tale. We tend to remember the bonanzas we missed more than the disasters we dodged. Just as we often hear, "I could have bought that house for $100,000 in 2002 - now it's worth over a million." Rather than "I almost bought that house for a million in 2005 - someone just got it out of foreclosure for $250,000."
It's interesting that the Baker Brothers Advisors, perhaps the most successful biotech fund (I crib a lot of ideas from their 13f's) pulled out of GILD a long time ago. In the process, they missed a big runup; however, their investment style is early stage biopharmas. When a company reaches a certain size, they bail. Similarly, I think a lot of growth funds have been invested in GILD and now, with the institution of the dividend and buybacks, will have to reevaluate their positions. At the same time, GILD will become more attractive to the less aggressive growth-with-income funds. By the same token, many here have expressed pleasure over the new dividend and stock buyback program (Company executives pointed out that eps in the next few years will be driven more by buybacks than by revenue increases.) But I don't think most of the investors here invested in GILD for a 2% dividend and stability. I certainly didn't. We were invested for the run to 120. ..or beyond. In other words, I think GILD will have to attract a new class of much more conservative shareholders.
ETF's are pretty boring. And, for my part, the caution I feel toward GILD here extends to a lot of the larger pharmas. It also seems to me that with ETF's, you get the bad companies along with the good. Of course, if you believe in the theory that all asset prices fairly reflect everything that's known at any one time, this may bother you less. Also, with ETF's you are paying a premium - which is why the biggest glossiest ads on CNBC are from the ETF assemblers. If I were going to buy into an ETF here on the basis of category strength, it would probably be one of the financial ETF's. I think the banks are in a sweet spot with economic growth, rising interest rates, and a Republican congress. If I were looking for a contrarian recovery play, I'd consider a European ETF, such as the VGK. It's up about 3% over the last month, and frankly, if Europe can't get up off the mat, we'll all be in trouble.
Take six scrabble tiles, including at least two vowels, and assemble them at random. You can be almost certain that someone has patented a drug under that name.
I'm guessing that the state prison systems will opt for the cheaper drug. And that the cons will get the idea that one of those four pills gives you a mild high and sell them.
Jus to point out that C-S was, until this downgrade, among the most bullish investment banks on GILD, with their projections above consensus. I don't think Goldman-Sachs has ever moved their price target from 85.
First of all, stocks are both my livelihood and my hobby. I watch them every day. This isn't practicable for most normal people. I have often thought that if Cramer were really interested in the success of he ordinary investor, he would tell them: "Put 50% of your assets in market-weighted funds with low maintenance fees. Put 30% of your assets in high-quality bond funds. Keep 20% of your assets in cash (to buy into the dips). That is all." Of course, this is bad television and rather boring. However, it will generally capture more return than most mutual funds or hedge funds. 20 years ago, my wife put a small IRA in my charge, and, not wanting to blow it, I put 50% in a blue chip bond fund and 50% in a blue chip stock fund. I have never made a single trade in this account, and yet it has multiplied over 5 times. (This ain't brain surgery.) I have done somewhat better than that by following my own lights. At times, I have been over 50% in cash. At times, I have had virtually all my portfolio in utility stocks and closed end bond funds and closed end muni bond funds. At times, I've been heavily over weight in pharma stocks. And at times, I've been basically short. Knowing that I'm about to run out of my allotted space, I'll continue this below:
I have seen persuasive evidence that you have to own 30-40 stocks to protect your portfolio from the possibility of any one stock imploding. I think most investors should start with a base of a market-weighted fund. The Vanguard VTSMX, a total stock market fund, would be a good beginning. At this point, I would also add a European component, for example, the VGK. This is essentially the risk-off part of your portfolio. It should return about 8% a year, inclusive of dividends. I think these market-weighted funds should be at least 50% of the average investor's portfolio. Now comes the fun part: You should own a high-tech company. APPL or INTC would seem like logical choices. You should own a bank (for when interest rates go up). WFC seems like the class of the group - if you want something a little riskier, try BAC. You should own an airline. I like DAL, but you can take your pick. You should own an auto company. F looks good here. (4% dividend, and probably the best play on European recovery.) You should own a telecom. I like VZ (also a nice dividend.) Maybe a social media company. FB seems like the most solid to me. I guess you should own an energy company, but I have never liked companies who constantly deplete their assets. My oddball pick is CLMT, a specialty refiner which pays a very high dividend. (There are a lot of MLP's whose high dividends make them a logical choice for your IRA.) You should have a retailer. I like WMT or COST, but you can trade up to M or even JWN. Now comes the controversial part: (cont.)
I have done very well with pharma stocks over the past few years. I did particularly well with GILD last year. However, I am unpopular on this board because I now believe that the large pharms are running into serious headwinds. There's nothing wrong with owning some GILD (although I am short it at the moment.) There is something wrong with having a large chunk of your portfolio in this single stock. I think the best chance for appreciation going forward is in the smaller pharmas. My practice is to begin with a small stake and, when, it goes green, add more. Here are the ones I own now. I have noted their price changes from Aug. 18, when GILD first broke through 100::
Skeptics will say, "Sure - you only own winners. Right." To which I'd reply, "Why should I own losers?" I've done very well with PCYC, MDVN, and JNJ, but are out of them for the moment. I may come back to CLDX and some others, but I've pared my pharma holdings down. I think stocks like these might constitute 15% or so of a portfolio. I hope this has been helpful. Good luck to you.
The trades that take it up after hours are tiny. I could take it up 20-30 cents myself just by buying a few hundred shares at the ask.
Yes, the truth is, most of us want to get up in the morning, turn on CNBC, and have something a little more interesting to look at than the S&P. I manage my sister's portfolio and I have a good chunk of it in a Vanguard total market fund. I don't own any ETF's myself - aside from the VGX, because I think Europe might be coming back and I don't know European companies very well.( I do own some NXPI, which is a bellwether of the European market and a terrific company.) I was assuming that the poster, unlike myself, had a life outside the stock market. When I was growing up in Boston and anyone bought a new car, a bigger house, etc. the rumor would be, " I hear he put all of his money into Polaroid", or DEC or Wang. All of which are now defunct. When I moved to New York, the suddenly prosperous had "put it all on Xerox". When I moved to San Francisco, they had "bet the farm on Microsoft". Or Intel. Every dog has its day. Mutatis mutandis. (All of the wisdom of the world was figured out by the Greeks and Romans.)

All 59 Community Districts in NYC To Get Pedestrian Plazas like Times Square
by Jessica Dailey, 05/05/11
It's no secret that the NYC Department of Transportation wants to make the Big Apple more pedestrian and bike friendly, but the department's plans go way beyond pop-up plazas and bike lanes. Much to our excitement,we just learned the the DOT wants to put a pedestrian plaza, a la Times Square, in every single community district in the city. Considering that the Times Square plazas have drastically improved the air quality in Midtown Manhattan, more spaces of the same type throughout the entire city would make a huge impact on air pollution.
The Daily News reports that during a City Council meeting, the DOT's assistant commissioner for planning and sustainability, Andy Wiley-Schwartz, stressed that building a pedestrian plaza in all 59 districts is the DOT's "hope," and that this is a community-driven application process. He also added that the DOT won't be "flying over at 30,000 feet and plopping them down where a map tells us is a good spot."
So far 17 pedestrian plazas have been built and another 25 are in the works. Is there a plaza in your neighborhood? Send us your pictures!

Nektar Therapeutics reports an agreement with subsidiaries of Baxter International to develop new PEGylated therapeutics for hemophilia. The program is expected to begin preclinical development in 2008.
Nektar will receive up to $44 million in upfront and milestone payments, funding of R&D, and manufacturing revenues during research, clinical development, and commercialization. Nektar will also receive royalties on end product sales.
Baxter will be responsible for the development and commercialization of the product. Nektar will handle the technology development used in the product including the provision of clinical and commercial PEG reagents.
This is the second collaboration between Nektar and Baxter related to hemophilia. The two companies inked their initial agreement in September of 2005 to develop PEGylated therapeutic forms of clotting proteins to treat hemophilia A.

Kensington by-election swings to Labour
Labour edged up in the latest council by-elections during Tories' conference week.
The party's vote share rose in two of the three contests.
In its best result, at Norland in London's Kensington and Chelsea Borough, Labour slashed Conservatives' majority from more than 1,000 in last year's polls - on the same day as the general election - to 237.
Against the trend there was a small net shift since May to Tories at Lower Stoke, Coventry City.
Coventry City - Lower Stoke: Lab 1366, C 563, Socialist 254, BNP 149, Green 114, Lib Dem 79. (May 2011 - Lab 2608, C 1018, Green 353, Socialist 291, BNP 261). Lab hold. Swing 1.6% Lab to C.
Kensington and Chelsea London Borough - Norland: C 675, Lab 438, Lib Dem 358, Ukip 69. (May 2010 - Three seats C 1864, 1804, 1654, Lab 787, 722, Lib Dem 714, 693, Lab 681, Lib Dem 534). C hold. Swing 8.8% C to Lab.
Watford Borough - Vicarage: Lab 917, Lib Dem 403, Ind 190, Ind 129, C 95. (May 2011 - Lab 1259, Lib Dem 691, C 231, Ind 204, Green 127). Lab hold. Swing 3.7% Lib Dem to Lab.

RACING: Jockeys returning to winning by numbers
The implementation by Michael Caulfield, the secretary of the Jockeys' Association, of a system whereby the title was decided by prize-money and not winners has been in place for a month. Its aim was to dilute the attraction of starting a season early and finishing late (on the all-weather), as well as taking away the necessity of travelling to all points of the compass, in an effort to prolong the careers of jockeys. But yesterday the scheme was rejected by the very people it was meant to save.
"Despite the well-intentioned move from winners to prizemoney, we cannot fail to recognise that the changes have been unpopular and, to a degree, unaccepted by many other sections of the industry and jockeys," Caulfield said. "I know there are some jockeys who would have liked to have seen the prize-money factor retained for one year, but the overall weight of opinion was to revert to winners."
Caulfield is also likely to have been persuaded by the recent reactions of two high-profile jockeys.
Kevin Darley, who had potentially the most to gain from the new arrangement thanks to his association with Celtic Swing, said he wanted a return to the old system because of "tradition", while the champion jockey, Lanfranco Dettori, is now likely to return to competition through the winter on a regular basis.
The Italian said last week that he was vurtually dropping out of all-weather racing because of the muddle over the championship. He will now continue his pursuit of Jason Weaver, who has 27 winners this year and leads Dettori by one.
A further amendment, to split the championship into two parts, with an all-weather winner and one from the turf season, was rejected as unworkable. "On balance it was felt it may cause further confusion and controversy to create a new season in 1995," Caulfield said.
"This should not have any great implications for jump racing as the current season still has four months to run."

PoliticsJerusalem mosque burnt in 'price tag' attack Vandals attempt to set fire to building and daub walls with inflammatory graffiti as city mayor appeals for calm. 14 Dec 2011 10:52 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel Vandals daubed the outside walls of the former mosque with inflammatory graffiti [AFP] Vandals have set fire to a disused mosque in Jerusalem, daubing inflammatory graffiti in Hebrew on the walls in an apparent anti-Palestinian "price tag" attack. Israeli police said on Wednesday they were investigating the overnight incident which took place near the busy shopping district around Jaffa Street. Slogans insulting the Prophet Mohammad and other graffiti reading "A good Arab is a dead Arab" and "price tag" were spray-painted on the exterior walls of the building, the AFP news agency reported. The "Price tag" slogan is generally associated with attacks on Palestinian property, often mosques, by Jewish settlers in the illegally occupied West Bank. Attacks on mosques beyond the West Bank are less common. Some of the building's exterior walls were burnt and there was a strong smell of petrol, although it appeared the fire had not caught, AFP reported. Nir Barkat, Jerusalem's mayor, condemned the attack and called for calm. "We must show zero tolerance toward violence in any shape or form and continue to maintain co-existence in the city," news website Ynet quoted him as saying. The incident came just 24 hours after extremist settlers attacked an Israeli military base in the northern West Bank and sabotaged vehicles there, prompting angry denounciations from Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister and other top officials. The Israeli army on Wednesday said that Palestinian cars were torched overnight in the northern West Bank, near the city of Nablus and the town of Qalqilya. Hebrew-language graffiti found at both scenes bore the hallmark of a "price tag" attack, a spokesman said, although he declined to elaborate. While Israeli officials have condemned the attacks, critics say the government has not done enough to prevent attacks on mosques and other sites. Shaul Mofaz, a former defense minister and military chief who sees himself as a possible rival to Netanyahu in the next elections, told Army Radio on Wednesday that the government was not doing enough to stop what he called "groups of Jewish guerrillas.'' "These hooligans are terrorists for all intents and purposes," he told Army Radio, referring to the attack on the military base. "The Israeli government has to exact a price tag, and it has to be painful, expensive and unequivocal."Source: Agencies

Death Valley is an amazing national park and winter is the best time to visit and photographic it.
In this workshop, we will be shooting in many of the most popular sites in the valley including:
• Zabriskie Point
• Dante's View
• Badwater
• Furnace Creek
• Artist's Palette
• Rhyolite Ghost Town
• Salt Creek Oasis
• Giant Sand Dunes
Dates: We will be car pooling from the Bay Area starting at 8:00 am on Friday, January 11, 2013 and returning late in the evening on Monday, January 14, 2013.
Because of the distance, we will be traveling most of the day on Friday although we will make stops on the way. There will be 2 full days of photography in the park on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning, we will do an early morning shoot before departing for the Bay Area.
About The Instructor: Landscape Photographer and Workshop Guide Dave Wyman has been doing workshops in Death Valley since 1986 so he is a very experienced instructor with a vast knowledge of the park and it's many locations for photography. He will be able to take us to the best places at the best time to capture some memorable images.
Workshop Cost: $195.00 (A really great price). Hotel, transportations and meals not included.
This will be a really special workshop and hope you can join us.
Edward Woods
Lovely workshop, and I actually enjoyed the weather! Thank you Ed, Dave, and Greg for organizing it!
For those of you interested in some world-class fire dancing who don't want to spend a week at Burning Man, there will be a free 2-hour fire dance show organized by Temple of Poi on the evening of April 27th in Union Square in San Francisco. Get there at least 90 minutes before sunset to grab a spot because it's very popular. You can take photos if you like, but just try to enjoy the show first and foremost. You can see photos from some of the past ones on my website.
January 15, 2013
Things were a lot colder than I expected, but other than that the workshop went just as I expected it to. Good photos, good group, we got to most, but not all, of the best locations.
January 16, 2013
My first time in DV, I had a good trip with Irene and Brandon, and met other photographers.
January 15, 2013
Good trip/workshop. We had three in our car and that worked well. We treated this event as a sampling of Death Valley for photographers and as such it worked very well. We had little input from Dave, due to the size of the group. When we did see him he was helpful and cheerful. But the number of people made it impossible for him to help everyone. There were a lot of people on the trip and I didn't get to talk to any of them as much as I would have liked to. Name tags might have helped.
To those of you I didn't talk to, I am sorry, I hope we can talk sometime.
To those of you I did talk to, I hope we can talk some more. I enjoyed meeting all of you.
I particularly would like to thank:
-- Waldemar for the night performances
-- Gordon for conservation
-- Everyone who came out for night photography
-- Ed for setting this up
-- Dave for signing the book
-- Carla
I enjoyed the trip and I plan to go back!
January 15, 2013
This was my first (long) photo workshop and it felt to me more like a photo book camp (loved it). I really enjoyed making so many new friends and hanging out with photographer I met before and I hope to see them again soon. I believe this to be a very good group. Dave was excellent and very helpful. I like the spots and times he suggested for our photos ops. Thank you Dave; I will definitely go on another of Dave's Workshop. I also feel that the group was a bit too big and next time we should split into smaller groups. Thank you every one for making my weekend so awesome!!!!! Ed, keep up the good work!!!!

I reserved a room with two queen size beds and would like to find someone to share the room to cut costs. If you don't already have a room, etc. let me know.
December 18, 2012
has everyone paired up for hotel reservations yet? I'd like to make this call by tonight.
January 8, 2013
Well, today I opened my mailbox to see this workshop! Crazy!! I've been gearing up for a 10-day trip, starting in DV and working my way up through Tahoe, then down to the Valley before returning to the Bay Area. Now, I am evidently on the waiting list. It would be great to at least meet other photographers- drinks and all that at the motel? It's a small world.
January 8, 2013
Here's an idea for housing. People can rent a home from www.airbnb.com and split the costs. This also helps with eating expenses as you can buy groceries and cook/prepare meals at the home. Just a thought.
January 4, 2013
Fabian: You should have received an email with workshop information including car pooling. Let me know if you did not get it. Thanks.
January 2, 2013
I'm also interested in finding someone who wants to share a room. I haven't made a reservation yet.
January 2, 2013
I tried making a reservation at the hotel before signing up for the event so that I'd know I had a room. The website says there are no rooms available. Would be interested in a female room share if anyone is willing.

I've been looking for something new to do with my view camera and this could be it. It's been 13 years since I've been to Death Valley so I should be able to see it with fresh eyes.
November 17, 2012
I would love to go! But, I am hoping to have a job by then and most likely can't take two days off right away.

The announcement has been made and the winners celebrating! Here are the details and reaction on the winners of the 2015 Pulitzer Prizes.
"With decline in document shipments, ecommerce is our department's new focus," a top official at the Department of Posts, told ET.
RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said on Friday it had not received an application from India Post to set up a bank in the country.
Department of Posts had submitted an application to the RBI on January 30, 2015 seeking licence for setting up Post Bank of India.
Prasad emphasised that with a vast network of post offices at its disposal, the proposed Post Bank should become a game-changer in Indian banking sector.
The government today said that money order service continues to be available to the common man at the same service charge but in electronic format.
Following the introduction of e-money order service, the department has seen growth in commission from money order service to about Rs 600 crore.
After all, the job is just for five months of the year as the rest of the time, the weather would hardly allow any activity, postal or otherwise.
