- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
How Do You Backup Your Data?
Tape drives not on list? (Score:5, Insightful)
I must be getting old.
Right. I took this to mean my personal computer. I used to use a tape drive at home but nowadays it's cheaper and faster to use an external USB attached hard drive.
However I'm also responsible for the backups at work and we absolutely still use tape (LTO4). All of our backups are cloned and one copy is sent offsite daily to be returned 5 weeks later. Also we have monthly archival backups with a copy sent offsite for 10 years. Tape still makes sense for those kind of backups. We're looking at getting a
At work, our primary fileserver has an offsite (80 miles) mirror, with snapshots up to a month back. I'm working on getting something similar working at home with freenas (I work at an ISP, so the offsite isn't a problem for the home setup). Currently I'm doing a nightly rsync of my server to a readynas. My desktop is raid-1, but any data I care about, I try to make sure is on the server and don't further backup the desktop.
My option isn't on the list either. I have a SSH account with 1TB at two of my friend's homes and I back up everything through rsync every night. Likewise, they both have an SSH account at my home with 1TB dedicated each.
Works like a charm.
I took that to be "internal hard drive". I have both local internal and over-LAN internal HDD backups.
If you go there, data on dropbox is also stored on an "internal hard drive" on a computer somewhere.

This is the way to go. I personally use Crashplan, and back up the critical irreplacable information among my 3 computers (which only totals about 200GB). Then I also have a couple Crashplan "friends", backup to those is free and automatic. Finally when Crashplan offered a year worth of unlimited cloud backups for about $5 on Black Friday, I took the deal and do that too. I don't know if I will renew though. Their cloud backups service is very slow- less than 100kB/sec usually, when I routinely get my

I do this, except one of the friend's is my mum (and it's my computer in her garage) and the other is my laptop (no fire or theft resilience, but still good for disc corruption).
The --link-dest option is excellent, as it means I have a series of complete backups instantly available. I keep the union of: the last 10 backups, backups from the last 14 days, backups taken on a date ending in 5 and delete the rest.
The relevant lines from my Zsh-script are:
date=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)
older=( $backups/*(N/om) )
By your standard, EC2 and Dropbox, Gmail, etc are all external hard drives. Little broad?
I used to use tapes at home, now I just have multiple computers for really important data mixed with USB hard drives and optical media.
Still using tape here at home. About 10 years ago I got a deal on a used SUN-branded HP tape changer (12GB native x 6 tapes). Still using it. More than sufficient for the amount of data (e-mails, documents, spreadsheets, a little code) that we create each day. I just have to be careful with any big ISO downloads, DVD copies, etc. so they don't get backed up (I can always download or copy them again).
I had to choose other as well because NAS wasn't on the list, and I felt like that didn't apply to "external hard drive".
You must be old and rich or you're a corporation.
I can backup all my hard to replace stuff on a single $100 2 TB drive, and I don't have to get involved with swapping physical media. A tape drive which could handle the same amount would cost over $2000, plus a SAS interface, and be slower. I guess if I had to backup over about 60 TB, the $36/3 TB media might make it cheaper, although I'd have to do a lot of tape swapping (or make it 100 TB, and buy an autochanger?).
tape is still around, pretty damn competitive for the media, but the drives are re-damn-tarded in price
your looking at several hundred dollars for a crappy one
The fileserver itself isn't backed up, though.
Yes, and other computers' HDDs. Aside from DVD rips, which won't be a huge loss if they're lost.

Those are words you don't see very often.
For my home machines, I use Time Machine (external hard drive, basically) for all the bulky stuff, and Dropbox for the really mission-critical stuff. My Dropbox syncs to several different machines that I use, including a remotely-located server, just for good measure.
For my main server (which hosts a bunch of web apps for clients, primarily), I use dual hard drives and a combination of tarsnap and plain-ol' S3 for external backup.

I have a time machine backup to an external hard-drive, I store important data additionally on a NAS with RAID-5 (the next time I buy a NAS it'll be RAID-6 with high reliability disks [URE rate of at least 10^15]), and I also upload to an online service.
I'm still toying with backing up the NAS to AWS, but I just don't have enough upstream bandwidth to make it comfortable.

I have two physical internal hard drives. First, I backup each to the other. I then encrypt the results and move the encrypted files to an external hard drive that I store remotely.
I don't erase the backup files from the internal hard drives. They often prove useful if I mangle a file and want to restore it.
The external hard drive would serve in case an internal hard drive fails or my PC is damaged.
I am afraid of the effects of electromagnetic fields on backup devices. A big scanner takes care of data restore.

Been there - I had a PC with a working 5.25" drive in it until just a few years ago - admittedly I never plugged it in. My wife finally nagged me sufficiently and I tossed it out (after letting out some of my frustration on the hard drive with a hammer, just in case...). I still have some floppies - I'm waiting for my grandchilden's 'show and tell' in the 2030s. I'll take along my slide rule too.
I keep a working 486 with both 5.25" drive and older 3.1 floppy drives as well as an old 2x CD burner and Dos 6.22. I boot it up once a year to make sure everything still works. It hasn't happened too often, but in the past two years I've had two clients were it's saved their ass.

But seriously, as to longevity, have you seen any good studies? I'm serious. I did a brief Google search, and the only scientific results I found were in a French study from 2011 that concluded that BDs were better than DVDs under accelerated aging conditions.

My server backs up on to the desktop. Currently the desktop backs up an internal drive. Once I upgrade the server (stalled, in part due to HD prices), I will backup the desktop on the server: a mutual backup exchange.

I have two identical external HDDs. One of them is always inserted in my workstation. The workstation backs itself up to this disk nightly. On occasion, I will swap the current external drive with its twin, and take the removed one to storage at another location. Also, the nightly backup is also done across my LAN to a Samba file server.

I voted for external hard drives; but some of the backup drives are themselves mirrored, and some data is additionally backed other ways: DVDs, or Magneto-Optical drives.
I back my data up to a flash drive that's been reformatted with ext4. That way my backup program can use links to represent files that haven't changed and save space. Currently, I have about 17.3 GB data and 14.5 GB free space on a 16 GB drive.

I output everything to the card punch, and put each deck in separate drawer in the cabinet. Doesn't everyone?
I use several techniques:
- Backup server with a nightly wake/rsync/shutdown script.
- Tape drive.
And other non-backup solutions that nevertheless mitigate the effects of hardware failures:
- "Backup" hard drive inside computer (basically option #1 but internal), rsync'd to daily.
- RAID-1 everything.
I have a remote VPS in a data center somewhere in New Jersey (Linode rules), and I keep a copy there of anything worthwhile. I let them back the whole system up regularly for me, assuming that they know what they're doing and won't lose my data. So far so good.
I think anybody who doesn't want to lose data should be using more than one of the choices above.

Why don't your lists accept my Google Mails properly?
When Google sends email, it sends it with a "Sender" of "<user>@gmail.com" (or whichever domain you're registered in). Changing your From address does NOTHING to change the Sender header (and envelope header) that Google Mail sends.
EZMLM checks the envelope and Sender header. These all need to match up to your subscribed address or your email will be rejected.
This is not a bug.
Complain to Google. You are effectively sending email as <user>@gmail.com while you subscribed with firstname.lastname@example.com (for example).
Why don't your lists accept my SRS routed emails?
ezmlm-idx/qmail do not currently support parsing of SRS encoded emails out of the box. Thus, neither do our lists.
Why don't your lists accept my BATV emails?
ezmlm-idx/qmail do not currently support parsing of BATV encoded emails out of the box. Thus, neither do our lists.
When are you going to support the above
We have no finite timeline for fixing any of the issues above. It's simply not a priority, and we have fixed resources for dealing with other issues.
The trivial solution is to disable some of the verification in EZMLM. This would let more spam through for everyone else. Not going to happen.
If we use ezmlm-idx/qmail in a standard configuration, then our service provider will support and manage the service. If we start adding random patches, then they won't - this makes our life painful. We do not like pain.

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've tested the image quality of the 24-Mpix Sony A6000 with over 23 zoom and prime lenses. Read on to find out which of those models perform best with Sony's current top-of-the-line APS-C mirrorless model.
We've analyzed the image quality of the 20-Mpix Sony A5000 with over 20 zooms and primes. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using with Sony's smallest and lightest mirrorless model.
We've analyzed the image quality of the 20-Mpix Sony A5000 with over 22 zooms and primes. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using with Sony's smallest and lightest mirrorless model.
The Sony Alpha A6000 is a revision of the earlier NEX-6 featuring a new 24-Mpix APS-C sensor and on-sensor phase-detection AF with improved coverage. Read on to find out how the new model performs.
Leica's latest addition to the range of APS-C X cameras adopts a 16-Mpix sensor and useful 28-70mm equivalent Vario-Elmar zoom. Read on to find out how well it performs.
With Sony dropping the NEX branding from their mirrorless models, adopting a 20-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor in a small form factor the new Alpha a5000 appears to continue the NEX lineage. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Nikon's retro styled Df harks back to the days film externally, but the metal shell with its plethora of dials and buttons conceals a state-of-the-art 16-Mpix CMOS sensor intended for the worst imaginable lighting conditions. Read on to find out how this new addition to the range performs.
After the success of the NEX APS-C models, Sony has introduced the EVF-equipped 20-Mpix A3000 to compete with similar mirrorless models from Panasonic and Samsung. Read on to find out how this entry-level model performs.
Olympus always said the OM-D was a new line of cameras, and sure enough, after the delightful E-M5 the firm announced the flagship E-M1. With a new exterior design and a long-list of improvements over the E-M5, including a 16.3-Mpix Live MOS sensor with on-chip phase detection pixels, the E-M1 is being touted not as the replacement to the E-M5 but as the successor to the firm's Four-Thirds E-5 model. Read on to see how well the new camera performed after putting it through our labs.
The GX7 is Panasonic's classy replacement for the rangefinder style GX1 and features a new, improved 16-Mpix sensor, a tilting widescreen viewfinder and rear screen plus built-in WIFI connectivity. The magnesium alloy bodied camera is also the first from Panasonic to feature in-body stabilization, but just how well does this $999 (body only) mirrorless model perform
Samsung is one of the few makers with the capability to supply sensors for its own mirrorless cameras. The Wi-FI enabled finder-less NX300 and NX210 are just two of such cameras from the consumer electronics giant featuring an APS-C size 20.3Mpix CMOS image sensor. Read on to find out just how well these cameras performed in our lab.
Introduced during 2011, the 24-Mpix Sony NEX-7 remains a high-watermark for mirrorless models despite recent introductions from rivals. We've now had the opportunity to measure the performance of this camera with a number of promising new lens models. Read on to see how well the combination of Sony's high-resolution APS-C sensor and the very latest E-mount lenses perform.
Sony's annual update to the NEX range has so far failed to deliver the expected high-end replacement to the NEX-7. However, Sony has added the promising NEX-6 and refrevshed the popular, entry-level NEX-F3 with this new sleek looking model. Read on to see how well it performed in our labs.
The Samsung NX20 is a good 'Hybrid' APS-C camera, it is a pretty good APS-C camera, and actually it's not a bad camera by any standards! Unfortunately for the Samsung it is surrounded by other good cameras and needs something special to make it not just a good camera but a successful camera.
Launched in September 2011, the Samsung NX200 marks a significant point in the NX line because it features an all-new APS-C CMOS sensor with 20.3megapixels. Among the hybrid cameras, this is about as big as sensors currently get, so Samsung are aiming at the high ground, a fact confirmed by the premium feel all-metal body – a first in the NX-series.
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
Hybrid is a word used both positively and negatively, quite appropriate for the photographic industry. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 wears this badge: "Hybrid", a mix of system and compact. It has a range of lenses spanning 7mm to 300mm (equivalent to 14mm up to 600mm in full frame 35mm) and a body that is not much bigger than a compact camera. Should it wear it with pride? Yes, it should…
Canon was the last major maker to embrace the hybrid or 'mirrorless' camera market. As a somewhat sober debut, designed for those who are new to photography, the EOS M adopts an 18-megapixel APS-C format in a compact body but boasts a number of advanced features including a 31-point hybrid AF system for stills and video and a touch sensitive 3-inch LCD. While it's clear this camera doesn't compete directly with the firm's DSLRs, how does it stack up against the competition that don't have the same volume of DSLR sales to protect?
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
Announced in September 2012, the Sony NEX-6 creates a new range in the Sony line-up. It sits between the flagship Sony NEX-7 and the mid-range Sony NEX-5R offering features and performance benefits to beginner and advanced photographers alike. Providing a simplified user-interface than the NEX-7, the NEX-6 is none-the-less fully featured with a high-resolution OLED viewfinder, Full HD video recording and a tilt-adjustable screen for ease of use.

The Sony NEX-6 is a well-thought-out compact hybrid that, like the NEX-7, takes into account the needs of the expert amateur, but also considers the needs of beginning photographers as well.

Learning Through Experience
At UMass Lowell, we engage students early in their college career to participate in meaningful, practical experiences that enrich learning; to prepare students for future work, life and world experiences.
For this purpose, Research co-operative education is a strong component of a student's experience and offers undergraduate and graduate (masters and doctoral) students the chance to work side-by-side with leading research professors and professionals in all areas of research.
There are various types of Research and Community Co-op that offer both research lab and research with faculty (non-laboratory) opportunities. Examples include working in a campus research laboratory, helping a community organization, conducting reviews of program-related scholarship, or working on a business or marketing plan for a local start-up.
And the many benefits of co-op include facilitating the faculty-student interaction that is uniquely and richly supported at UMass Lowell, helping students learn new skills from hands-on experience that build on the knowledge acquired in the classroom, and providing an awareness of what takes place in a research lab that is working towards a product.
For our undergraduate juniors and seniors who usually round out their undergraduate experience with some of these types of opportunities, co-op helps students to explore their professional and higher education goals while making a valuable contribution in the workplace and community.
The University also has exciting Research and Community Co-op initiatives that allow undergraduate freshman and sophomore students to participate in exciting paid experiential learning opportunities working directly with outstanding faculty across the campus and academic departments.
Helpful Tools for Co-op Scholars
What you need to do to prepare for your co-op
Freshman Student Resume
Co-op Students
Below, meet a few students who are achieving their education goals with the help of co-op at UMass Lowell.
Anne Laraia '10, atmospheric sciences
Anne was an undergraduate research student in Dean Gamache's lab (Theoretical Molecular Spectroscopy Group) at the end of her freshman year.
"Doing undergraduate research was what made my undergraduate experience at UMass Lowell so great. Not only did I get to travel to Paris, France for one month to do research at two university laboratories, work at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics for one summer, and get published six times over, but also I was introduced to the world of scientific research, and now I'm hooked. It was these opportunities that inspired me to apply to graduate programs in environmental science, and now I am pursuing my PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE) at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA. Undergraduate research challenged me to think independently as a scientist, and opened doors for me that I never even knew existed. In scientific research, I can make a difference; I can use my knowledge to help us understand the world and the universe that we live in. If not for the opportunity to do undergraduate research at UMass Lowell, I would not be where I am today."
Mark Lalli '12, chemical engineering
Mark is a Commonwealth Scholar. He was a research intern in a chemical engineering lab last summer and has participated in co-op since the summer after his high school graduation.
"My experience with my research co-op with the department of Chemical Engineering has been extremely informative. By doing research, I have gained knowledge firsthand that can't be taught in lectures and classrooms because it hasn't been discovered yet. This co-op has allowed me to network with professors and graduate students who are very knowledgeable in their fields of study. Most importantly, though, my co-op has taught me the art of failure. In science, you're lucky if 5% of your experiments are successful, but through patience and hard work, even a 5% success rate is worth it."
Pedro Vasquez '11, psychology
Pedro is the program manager for Fox Common, a popular venue in the largest student residence hall on campus.
"As student manager for the Fox Common venue on campus, I'm focused on creating great parties and programs for my fellow students. I was surprised by how much was in it for me. I've been given incredible opportunities to learn, such as the opportunity to be an entrepreneur and to manage a staff and a budget. I wasn't expecting as much when I took a job in the Student Activities office."
Daisy Ogunedo '11, music education
Daisy worked as a teacher with the UMass Lowell String Project, which brings music instruction and appreciation to local public-school children.
"I have learned more about being a teacher through the UMass Lowell String Project than through any other hands-on experience I've had," says Daisy, a music education major and a cellist. "I'm happy to be teaching children who might not otherwise have exposure to classical music. It is my goal to inspire these kids, and seeing beginners grow to become the players they are now has been incredibly heart-warming."
Michael Baier '10, electrical engineering
Michael was a research assistant in a laboratory during all four years of his undergraduate education.
"I've been working as a research assistant in Professor Sam Mil'shtein's lab since my freshman year. Prof. Mil'shtein is highly regarded in the field of semiconductor technology. He acts not only as my boss but also as my mentor, pushing my team and me hard but also giving us technical and personal guidance along the way. That's had a big impact on me. Thanks to the guidance of UMass Lowell faculty, I plan to pursue a Ph.D. and know that my professors' connections to people in industry and at other universities will be helpful. My research experience also helped me graduate with my name on two patents."
Neha Manohar '14,chemical engineering
Neha held a summer internship in a chemical engineering lab the summer before her freshman year.
"My internship at the Nano/Green lab gave me a wonderfully hands-on introduction to chemical engineering that was vastly different from the equally important one I received through courses and lectures. The experience cemented my decision to become a chemical engineer by introducing me to the incredibly diverse research aspect of the field. "One of my favorite parts about last summer's internship was attending the national meeting for the American Chemical Society in Boston. I had the opportunity to present my research to real professionals in the field, attend lectures by some of the most prominent chemists in the country and grab quite a bit of free stuff and business cards from the expo!"
Patrick O'Connell '11, business administration
Patrick takes part in the UMass Lowell Honors Program and is working on an undergraduate thesis with the help of advisors, Dr. Steven Tello and Brooke Hargreaves-Heald.
"My thesis is a great opportunity to showcase what I've learned and develop a project of interest to me. I chose to build a business plan that would help the school and its patrons. I developed some ideas with my classmates that involved flexible photovoltaic technology, used in portable devices such as cell phones and ZipBike, an urban bicycle rental service. In a nutshell, light-sensitive dyes were placed on flexible sheets of plastic that then became a cell phone cover or substrate that actively charged the battery when exposed to light. The idea was based on current University research. We wrote a formal business plan, and then competed in front of a panel of faculty judges against other groups developing their own ideas to simulate real world investment pitches. My group won that competition and we were able to experience the payoff of hard work and a well-pitched plan.
"The ZipBike business plan looks to fill a gap in the American transportation market. It builds on European bicycle rental models found in major cities like Paris and Amsterdam. The opportunity to adapt this idea into my thesis helped to turn theoretical teaching into practical application. The idea was presented to the University's Facilities department to see if it could become a reality. This project not only helps me to understand the creativity and research that goes into an entrepreneurial venture, but it also gives me the chance to apply my schoolwork into a real world scenario. If the school agrees that my idea is worthwhile and wants to implement just such a plan, I will be able to help improve campus life and leave a legacy at this school."

Chairman Ginter called the regular meeting of the Transportation & Circulation Commission to order at 4:00 p.m.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to approve the February 5, 2001 minutes as amended; Commissioner Buck seconded; and the motion passed unanimously.
City Traffic Engineer Mark Miller stated that this item was a reconsideration of a request to remove the overnight parking exemption on the north and south sides of Topaz Lane. Staff received a petition from Mrs. Vern Boyd, College Greens-Fullerton Owners Association, Board of Directors, requesting the exemption. Staff recommended denying the request. The motion failed due to a 3 to 3 tie vote. The Commission's concern was the lack of homeowner's support. The Association expressed the desire to appeal the Commission's decision to the City Council. Staff recommended that it was best to bring this item back to the Transportation & Circulation Commission due to the tie vote but encouraged showing a majority support by the homeowners.
Topaz Lane is comprised of a plan residential development with single-family homes on the north side, Pine Apartments and Topaz school on the south side, and has restricted parking for street sweeping, bus loading and unloading during certain hours on the south side, and no overnight parking. There was one reported accident within the past 12 months.
The original petition received 100% of the properties on the north side based on the association's authority to sign the petition. There are 22 single-family properties, and 48 single-family townhomes within the development on the north side. The petition received 50% of the support on the south side based solely on the school district but the Pine Apartments refused to sign the petition because they are not deficient in off-street parking.
Staff feels that the properties on the north side of the street are not deficient in off-street parking by today's standards. Each property has at least a two-car garage and 39 additional parking spaces within the development for residents and visitors. Staff was also concerned for the safety of children crossing in between parked cars. Staff recommended denying the request for the overnight parking exemption on Topaz Lane.
Chairman Ginter asked which conditions of the warrant were not satisfied.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that 50% of the residents signed the petition satisfying the warrant but the homes have two-car garages and 39 overflow parking spaces on site, which does not satisfy the warrant and does not show a parking deficiency.
Commissioner Buck asked how many of the residents facing the street signed the petition.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that staff did not have an exact number. The Association's board meeting minutes indicated a unanimous decision and the petition was signed by the residents of that area which was attached to the staff report.
Commissioner Hardwick stated that staff's concern was the safety of the children who may cross in between parked cars and the school has the same safety concern but is supporting the request made by the residents. Mr. Hardwick asked if staff had contacted the school to see what their thinking was.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that staff did not contact the school. The petition was signed by the school district and not by the principal of the school. Staff did have a previous meeting with the school to discuss their traffic circulation, recommended the on-street bus parking, red curb in front of the school for bus drop off and pick up, and spoke about traffic safety such as crossing in the crosswalks.
Commissioner Hardwick asked if the school had a crossing guard.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that there is a crossing guard on Placentia Avenue, Sapphire Road and Garnet Lane, and Bradford Avenue.
Commissioner Robeson asked if this school was a local school or a collector school.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that it was a local school in the Fullerton City boundaries but in the Placentia School District.
Public comment was opened.
Donna Mann, 3311 Topaz Lane stated that her tenants have been moving and parking their cars on the street at daylight. She did not see it being a safety concern for children because they would not be crossing the streets between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
The Chairman stated that the concern was that cars parked overnight would remain parked during school hours making it unsafe for the children to cross.
Commissioner Francis asked Ms. Mann if she had a garage.
Ms. Mann responded that she has a two-car garage with two cars parked in it but there is a third car because three people live at the residence and there are three drivers. Residents are not allowed to park in their driveways because it is considered a fire lane.
Commissioner Buck stated that he observed when people park overnight, there are more cars parked on the street for days at a time, there is no way to monitor for the 72 hour limit, and some of the cars are less than desirable vehicles.
Leila Hoopii, 3313 Topaz Lane stated that there was an inconsistency when talking about school safety because there already exist a parking exemption on Sapphire Lane. The school district had examined the situation, and seems to feel comfortable. The homes in this planned unit development have three or four bedrooms many of which have four or five cars. These homes do not have driveways to park a vehicle. More parking is needed to enhance the safety within this planned unit development with very little downside with what that would do to Topaz Lane.
William Phillips, 2360 Camino Escondido stated that he is the vice president of a homeowner's association of 152 units. Mr. Phillips stated that there is a large loop in the association because people do not park their cars in their garages. The units are all two and three bedroom units with two-car garages. Fifty percent of the garages are used for everything but parking. Mr. Phillips stated that this is a condominium association problem that should not be passed onto the City.
Dean Brown, 3241 Topaz Lane, President of the Homeowner's Association stated that the garages of these units are not large enough for the SUVs. Cars are parked along the street when the children are going to school and he does not see additional danger to the children. Mr. Brown stated that 10 units face the street but he did not know if those individuals signed the petition.
Marie Farone, 3227 Topaz Lane stated that many of the vehicles parked along Topaz Lane belong to the teachers and people going to Topaz School.
Vern Boyd, Secretary for College Greens Homeowners Association stated that there are two-car garages in every home, but does not mean there is enough parking. The heights of the garages are not tall enough and deep enough to fit SUVs and some vans. Ms. Boyd stated that they needed parking relief on Topaz Lane for safety and security. Ms. Boyd pointed out that there are only 37 additional parking spaces and not 39 as stated by Mr. Miller.
Ms. Boyd received three letters from residents who could not attend the meeting but were in favor of removing the overnight parking exemption:
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that staff received a telephone call from Mr. Les Waechter, 3357 Topaz Lane who was opposed to the overnight parking request.
Ms. Boyd stated that Mr. Les Waechter is against the petition because he believes that the people from the Pines Apartment will be parking on Topaz Lane too often.
Al Faggard, 3235 Topaz Lane stated he recalls Commissioner Hardwick asking the residents to bring in more people to support this and that is what has been brought here today.
Public comment was closed.
Commissioner Hardwick stated that Mr. Miller has a legitimate concern for safety for the children but we already have people parking on the street and the school supports the request. The problems that the residents are facing are not unique to the City. Commissioner Hardwick stated that he still supports the request for overnight parking exemption.
The Chairman clarified that overnight parking on Sapphire Road is consistent with the City's policy of allowing exemptions on a block-by-block basis. The majority of the children crossing would be residents of families from the courts who are crossing Sapphire Road to Topaz School and it would be hazardous for a parent to drop a child off in between a double parked car so the problem with parked cars do to the overnight parking is not that serious. The Chairman hoped that the responsible homeowners in that area would discourage long term parking of derelict vehicles because this is the reason why the City has the overnight parking restriction. The Chairman supported the removal of the overnight parking restriction because the concern is not the children crossing between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. but the concern is that the overnight parking would allow a few more cars to be parked on the street during the school hours.
Commissioner Buck stated that he would feel more comfortable if he knew how the residents whose homes actually faced that street voted and did not know how he would vote. Commissioner Buck stated that this request was not as clear-cut as some of the other issues because there is guest parking that may not be desirable but should take up some of the slack which is a partial solution.
Commissioner Robeson stated that his concern was once the overnight parking was allowed, cars would park overnight maybe for a day or so and there will not be enough parking for the elementary school parents.
Commissioner Hardwick asked Mr. Miller if there was red curb for loading and unloading of students by the parents.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that there is a bus loading zone but not for parent's vehicles. The parents circulate in the parking lot to drop off children.
Commissioner Francis was not in favor of removing the overnight parking exemption because it keeps the city safer and cleaner.
Commissioner Cochran stated that the times have changed and families have changed. Commissioner Cochran stated that he was unable to make a decision because there is a need to keep some control of our streets from the few who take advantage of leaving their cars parked for days on end. Commissioner Cochran stated that he was not sure that was a good enough reason to put these people through the obvious problems they are having trying to make due with parking that is no longer adequate.
Commissioner Hardwick moved to approve the request of removing overnight parking exemption, Chairman Ginter seconded. The motion passed.
AYES: Cochran, Ginter, Hardwick
NOES: Robeson, Francis
ABSTENTION: Buck
Commissioner Buck stated that he purposely abstained so that it would go onto the City Council but he did not favor the request.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that the commission requested staff to survey the surrounding cities and determine if they have a citywide overnight parking restriction or permit parking program in place. The Commission requested that staff present their findings and propose a citywide overnight permit parking program.
Staff contacted the Police Department on the pros and cons of the current overnight parking procedure versus the permit procedure.
The City of Fullerton has two permits:
After discussing the pros and cons with the Police Department on the current permit process, staff recommended making no change to the existing overnight parking exemption policy as established by the City Council.
The Chairman asked if any of the cities have a procedure such as ours, a block-by-block exemption.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that the City of Orange has a block-by-block permit process around the area of Chapman College. The City of Orange charges their residents $400 to file a petition for exemption.
The Chairman asked if by going to a permit process would this eliminate the once a month block-by-block exemptions.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that it would. In the City of La Habra, the Police Department handles it and they do not handle it on a block-by-block basis. The individual resident states their reasons for the request and the Police Department makes the decision to issue the annual permit.
Commissioner Francis asked what the problem was with this program.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that we might not have the staff to handle this. Mr. Miller stated that it would take staff more time to issue the permits than it would be to bring the request to the Transportation & Circulation Commission.
Commissioner Hardwick stated that the citizens have voted twice to keep this law. We currently have a system that allows us to look at a case-by-case basis or a block-by-block basis and deal with these situations. Commissioner Hardwick asked Lieutenant Mayes if it was a burden to enforce.
Lieutenant Mayes stated that it was not a burden to enforce in the permit's current existence. The Police Department knows that if a car is parked on a street that is not exempt, they are subject to a citation. The Police Department responds on a regular basis for radio call complaints. The overnight citations are a tool to prevent people from parking beyond 72 hours. A car cannot be towed for the overnight citation but if they have 5 or 6 citations, then they are subject to being towed. The overnight parking enforcement is a tool for an area that needs to get the cars off the street to facilitate the street sweeping and trash collection.
Commissioner Robeson was in favor of leaving the existing overnight parking exemption policy.
Commissioner Buck was in favor of leaving the existing overnight parking exemption policy as well as the permit policy.
The Chairman reviewed his notes from the September meeting stating that if it was recommended keeping the present petition process, to issue permits only after the petition is denied where a demonstrated hardship occurs.
Commissioner Hardwick moved to accept staff's recommendation to keep the current overnight parking exemption policy established by the City Council. Commissioner Robeson seconded. The motion passed.
AYES: Francis, Hardwick, Cochran, and Robeson
NOES: Ginter, Buck
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that the conditions have changed at 611 North Pomona Avenue and 122 North Yale Avenue and the disabled parking spaces are no longer required.
Public comment was opened.
Eva Christian, 717 E. Santa Fe #4 apologized for the inconvenience.
Public comment was closed.
Commissioner Hardwick moved to approve the removal of the disabled parking, Commissioner Cochran seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
City Traffic Engineer Miller presented the Transportation &Circulation Commission and the Board of Parking Place Commission with temporary designation to relieve parking concerns during construction of the south side of Chapman Avenue north of Whiting Avenue. This is to provide on-street limited parking on Whiting Avenue for 30 minutes and with the construction of the future bus turnout allowing 11 more spaces on Chapman Avenue for short-term parking. Staff recommended the Transportation &Circulation Commission to approve overnight parking on both sides of Whiting Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Pomona Avenue for the 24-hour Kinko's, the overnight parking on the south side of Chapman Avenue would be removed, installation of 30-minute parking on both sides of Whiting Avenue and on the south side of Chapman Avenue. Staff recommended the Board of Parking Place Commission to approve overnight parking in District No. 2 of the parking lot located north of Whiting Avenue and south of Chapman Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Pomona Avenue.
Terry Galvin, Redevelopment Agency stated that Kinko's will occupy the portions of American Savings that fronts Chapman Avenue, Starbucks will be on the north end of the building which use to be the Mustard Seed that fronts Harbor Boulevard, and two additional tenants will be added in that same building. The parking that currently exists will become part of the area that is going to be under construction, which is north and south Whiting Avenue. Whiting Avenue will still exist entering in from Pomona Avenue and entering in from Harbor Boulevard to the north and south alleys. The area between the alleys will become part of the parking supply when the project is completed. In order for the businesses to become established, they will need to have overnight parking permitted because Kinko's is a 24-hour business. All of the Whiting Avenue and Chapman Avenue parking need to be available during the entire construction of that parking garage. The Morgan parking structure is anticipated to be completed in 6 to 8 months and will open up a portion for public parking while they construct the rest of the project.
The Chairman asked if Chapman Avenue will lose one lane of traffic or will the City restrip to make the lanes narrower to allow for parking on Chapman Avenue. The Chairman asked if the bus stop on the south side of Chapman Avenue at the east end of the American Savings Building would remain until the turnout is constructed.
City Traffic Engineer Miller stated that Chapman Avenue would not lose any lanes because the builder will be cutting into the property with a bus turnout, which would be approximately 10 to 12 feet into the property. The buses will not use the turnout during construction. When the construction is completed, the parking will be removed and the buses will use the turnout, which will be part of the driveway entrance into the main parking lot.
Terry Galvin stated that the contractor would be making the turnout longer than it will ultimately be to be able to get in as many parking spaces.
The Chairman clarified Item No. 2 for overnight parking on the south side of Chapman Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Pomona Avenue adding "in the temporary bus turnout".
Commissioner Hardwick moved to accept staff's recommendation to approve temporary parking relief during construction. Commissioner Buck seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The Transportation & Circulation Commission adjourned and reconvened as the Board of Parking Place Commission to approve overnight parking in the District 2 parking lot.
Commissioner Buck moved to approve staff's recommendation. Commissioner Cochran seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board of Parking Place Commission adjourned and reconvened as the Transportation & Circulation Commission.
The following were approved by the City Council:
The meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m. until the next scheduled meeting.

No game for me either. I am being blacked out of all RSN channel NBA games (Hornets, Hawks, etc.) The only NBA games I can view are the national broadcast (TNT, ESPN & non Hornet games on NBA TV).
Ah, so not just Hornets. Good to know.
More data.
DirecTV having issues... guess it wasn't all Shinn or CST.
DISH Channel - Thunder at Hornets on Friday night: 412-35 and 412-37 are both listed in my online DVR guide (empty Alt channel in between). Listed as FOXSW Alt in both cases(channel info button). Each channel number is for both hi-def and low-def. For earlier Hornets games the low-def and hi-def channels were different numbers. The actual game will likely be on only one of these and won't know until -gametime. Makes it guess-work to record unless I record both since I will be at the game. I have not seen any reference to FOXNO in my DISH guide so far. Hopefully the FOXNO channel will eventually stabilize and there will be additional local programming on it. Pregame and postgame shows haven't been very impressive.
11/17/ NO vs OKC: called Directv because again I could not get the channel.
The representative that I spoke with tried really hard and eventually went up the chain with it. The response coming back was that Directv does not currently carry that channel. So, then I responded with "so nobody with Directv can view this channel?". And she said yes. So, is anyone watching ch. 678 on directv? Maybe they are not carrying the channel on the outer reaches of the market? I don't know. I'm think I'm done with Directv.
I think that is the wrong question, but it seems like there is some issue with DirecTV in outlying areas.
The Gulfport/Biloxi DirecTv issue is crazy! I have DirecTv in Biloxi, I get the games. My sister and brother-in-law's house 5 miles west of me (they have DirecTV) get the games. Hornets games were blacked out in this area on League Pass with DTV (because no CST). This is one messed up situation! DirecTv's csr's suck! I once (no kidding) had a csr tell me I knew more about them about a tech issue! In fact I figured out the problem for them!

Good info. So it seems like the games are on in parts of the market, not others.
It's an outlying area thing for DirecTV, but seemingly not for others like Dish.
Any more counter-examples to this?
In any case, it seems to basically be an increase in coverage from the old deal to the new.
If this bears out, we'll see what sort of things are going on that we can get involved with to give the concerns maximum voice.
Basically it sounds like move to Dish
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
we are in ascension parish, zip code 70769. We are considering moving to directv. Does anyone know if we'll be ok or have issues catching hornets games?
YES, we get the games on 678, since the Spurs game! I DO have the sports package. My Sister DOES NOT and gets the games! This is messed up!
You guys gotta ditch those satellite dishes -- what is this, the 80's?
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
DISH channels in Slidell for Hornets at Bucks: 412-30 (41230) or 412-35 (41235). Should be on one of these channels.
Still "not subscribed" on 678 on my direct tv in gulf shores. I'm done looking . It's a joke. Not following the nba this season. Was so expected about this channel but now I'm highly turned off
I was at someone's house in New Orleans with DirecTV, and it said not subscribed on the screen. Yet, I know they get the games. So, Biloxi Hornet, did you check during the game? This isn't clear.
Directv people in MS and AL I have found a fix so that you can watch the Hornets games on ch 678 by adding the Sports Pack. It appears that once you get access to 676 it will open up 678. You must call directv during a game and tell them that you are not receiving ch 676 Fox Sports Southwest and 678 for the Hornets. Have them add the Sports Pack and tell them this fixed the issue even though you will probably be told this shouldn't work but it does. I was offered the sports pack free for two months while they work out the problem. They also encorage everyone having this issue to call and have this escalated to the enginners.
Good work.
So it's a customer service issue and the reps don't have full knowledge.
Let us know if this works for the rest of you.

text: Comment: I don't want to be a fair weather rider, so these gloves were the best addition to my riding gear. I work nights and ride home before the sun comes up, this morning was 44 degrees and I was nice and cozy! Rain? Not a problem, hands stay dry and I still have plenty of grip. Snow? okay, I'm not that brave, but I can easily ride for an extended time on the highway in the low fifties without frozen hands. The gloves are also very comfortable. I I have Joe Rockey summer gloves in a medium, but I fit in the small on this pair.

Over the years we have heard repeated claims from the UK Government and research industry that this country has some of the highest welfare standards and regulations in the world for animals in laboratories. Yet animal research is one of the most secretive of industries, and repeated calls by the BUAV for transparency that would enable the public to judge for themselves have been met with little more than lip-service at best.
I believe a genuinely informed debate is crucial – the public has a right to know what is being done to animals in laboratories with the Government's permission. Undercover investigations sadly remain the only way we can discover the reality of life for animals in UK laboratories. Every time the BUAV carries out an investigation in the UK I have been truly shocked by the level of suffering inflicted on animals.
Yesterday we launched our latest investigation into animal research at one of the UK's leading universities, Imperial College London. Our findings were revealed in The Sunday Times yesterday. Our investigation provides a chilling insight, not only to the terrible suffering that thousands of rats and mice are subjected to inside the laboratories at Imperial College, but also to the attitude and behaviour of the researchers and staff themselves. Our investigator witnessed incompetence, neglect and macabre, harrowing scenes that would turn the stomachs of most. The animals at Imperial College were clearly viewed as dispensable tools of research with little intrinsic worth.
Our findings have already resulted in widespread criticism. Imperial College has itself announced the appointment of Professor Steve Brown, Director of the Medical Research Council's Mammalian Genetics Unit at Harwell in Oxford, to chair its own investigation into our findings. Whilst we of course welcome a move from the College that takes our findings seriously, an 'independent inquiry' headed by a well-known and strong supporter of animal research from an institution that actually funds animal research at the Imperial College is clearly anything but independent!
So that is why we are calling on the government to set up a fully independent inquiry into the concerns raised by the report. The inquiry should be independent of the Home Office (which regulates animal experiments) and Imperial College, as well as any institution funding or supporting research at Imperial College.
Our undercover film shows shocking and harrowing scenes of the plight of animals at Imperial College London. But with your support we can make a difference for the millions of animals used in UK laboratories. Please take a moment to sign our petition urging the Home Secretary to take action, or make a donation to help us carry out our important work.
Until next time…

Andres Lozano:
Parkinson's, depression and the switch that might turn them off
Deep brain stimulation is becoming very precise. This technique allows surgeons to place electrodes in almost any area of the brain, and turn them up or down — like a radio dial or thermostat — to correct dysfunction. Andres Lozano offers a dramatic look at emerging techniques, in which a woman with Parkinson's instantly stops shaking and brain areas eroded by Alzheimer's are brought back to life.

Nasal congestion is an extremely common complaint that brings patients in to see their physician. Often times congestion is temporarily associated with the common cold or infrequent sinus infections. Nasal congestion can in some patients be more of a chronic daily problem that impairs quality of life, sleep, and exercise tolerance. Sometimes congestion is not a daily problem but a frequently recurring problem associated with frequent bouts of sinusitis.
Frequent causes of nasal congestion include:
- Deviated nasal septum sometimes also associated with a crooked nose
- Uncontrolled and undiagnosed allergies
- Recurring sinus infections
- Enlarged structures in the nose called turbinates which can block one's breathing
There are many treatment options for chronic nasal congestion, both medical and surgical. Evaluating which....

Labor Day is a time of picnics and celebration; remembrance and gratitude. Living in the US we have so much to be thankful for, and sometimes it can be all too easy to take things for granted. One thing we can never forget though is the American spirit. It binds us together, giving us the strength to overcome the trials our country has had to face.
Born out of the Depression, SentrySafe was established in 1930. Money, hope and spirit were scarce then, but the resilience of the American people saw us through those harsh economic times. It's a history SentrySafe is proud to have been a part of. We struggled beside other manufacturers and came out with an American workforce as strong as the steel we use to make our safes.
Times are once again uncertain for the American manufacturer. As cheaper goods from outside the US threaten the integrity of the US manufacturer, the American workforce once again finds itself looking for steady work. We've watched jobs dwindle and corporate giants fall, but we believe that hope once again lies within the hearts of the American people. By coming together and supporting each other, the American workforce can once again rise stronger than anyone ever thought possible.
SentrySafe renewed our promise to help support US jobs when we closed our plant in Shanghai, China last year. And we continue to look for more ways to expand our US manufacturing facilities and grow our local workforce. This Labor Day we're asking you to renew your promise as well.
Help support our American workforce. Just by looking for American made products for the goods you buy every day, you can help grow and strengthen our great nation's workforce, making it easier for local companies like ours to bring jobs home to the US. We know it's not always the cheapest and easiest option, but together, we can overcome these economic hurdles and support a strong, independent American workforce.

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. - Pfeiffer University picked up a pair of victories on Saturday afternoon in the final day of the 2012 Mount Olive Volleyball Classic.
