For AOL's Advertising.com, the the acquisition of Buysight means better access to on-the-go shoppers. J. Jennings Moss
This holiday season, just as the mobile shopping buzz really begins to resonate into actual dollars spent, AOL's (NYSE: AOL) Advertising.com swoops in with an upstart move: the acquisition of Buysight, a provider of targeted advertising products that works on mobile, tablets, desktop computers and Internet-connected televisions.
Terms of the deal, which was announced yesterday, were not disclosed. What we do know is that the Sunnyvale, California-based startup has been at this targeted ad thing for four years (can you say acqui-hire?), and it comes at a time when mobile users are taking to their smartphones and tablets to shop more than ever. PayPal reported a 190 percent increase in global mobile payment volume on Cyber Monday compared to the same day last year, and the record sales recorded that day (the precise amount has not yet been released) were exceeded by more than $1 million the following Sunday, which doesn't even have a fancy shopping moniker.
Buysight uses online data to target consumers with the retail ads that are most relevant to them in real-time. The company's chief executive officer, Armin Ebrahimi, said in AOL's official statement that becoming part of the Advertising.com group will give the company scale and fresh access to leading publishers, advertisers and agencies around the world.
On its own website, in a letter to customers, the Buysight team wrote that clients could still reach their usual contacts, and that the company would continue to help its"hundreds of clients increase their sales and realize a return on their advertising dollar." It goes on to say "We couldn't have asked for a better fit for our team and our technology, or a stronger partner to offer our clients—present and future—an innovative and high performing suite of advertising products."
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Obama visit: Politics meets street theater
President attended Democratic Party fundraiser at Jacobs home
Meanwhile, boom boxes blared "Proud to be an American" and "God Bless America" and three women danced to Pharrell's "Happy."
Masada Disenhouse, with SanDiego350.org, said her group was there to lobby Obama to reject the Keystone Pipeline because it would sharply worsen the climate change crisis.
"He has committed to taking the lead on climate change and we want to hold him to that commitment," she said.
Audrey Rant, who lives in the area, said the street theater in her neighborhood was amusing but probably wouldn't amount to much.
"I don't mind — I think it's very good," she said shortly before the motorcade passed. "I'm not very keen on all these protesters because it never does anything."
Andy Wong, who lives in south San Diego, near San Ysidro, complained about the president's Affordable Care Act, which critics call Obamacare.
"Obama is mandating all health care services to cover abortion (pills) and other emergency contraception," Wong said. "As a Catholic, I am very much offended by what our president is doing."
Obama supporter Mary K. Grimm was disappointed there weren't more of her kind on the street.
"I just really like President Obama and support him, and I wanted him to know that. I wanted to see him," she said. "I thought there would be more supporters here. The last time he was here, there were whole groups of neighborhood supporters."
This was Obama's fourth trip to San Diego County since becoming president. He visited twice in 2011, first for a fundraiser at the La Jolla home of Elizabeth and Mason Phelps and then to watch a college basketball game played on an aircraft carrier docked at Naval Air Station North Island.
The president also visited last August, when he praised troops at Camp Pendleton for their service to the country.
Thursday's visit was part of a three-stop West Coast trip. On Wednesday, Obama attended a fundraiser in Los Angeles and later gave a speech at a USC Shoah Foundation dinner hosted by movie executive Steven Spielberg.
After leaving Miramar shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday, Obama was headed to San Jose, where he was scheduled to give a speech on energy efficiency at a Mountain View Walmart this morning.

Emma Watson is most proud of the outfit she wore to a 'Harry Potter' premiere aged 14
Emma Watson is most proud of the outfit she wore to a 'Harry Potter' premiere aged 14.
The 21-year-old actress walked the red carpet for 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' in a vintage purple gown and says the dress will always be "special" to her because of the effort she made in creating a distinctive look.
She recalled: "I've loved every dress I've worn for a premiere but probably the best is the purple dress from the 1920s.
"My mum and I found it in a vintage shop. It was torn but we had it repaired. The one rip we couldn't mend we covered with a corsage.
"We dyed shoes to match and found vintage silk flowers for my hair. That was the first time I felt I was creating my own look so, although it wasn't perfect by any means, that dress will always be special to me."
Emma is a fan of "modern" designers but also loves simple garments for everyday wear.
She added: "I love modern designers like Alberta Ferretti. And right now, I'm very big on Valentino. But for everyday wear, the items I couldn't live without are a pair of basic black cropped trousers and a pair of ballet pumps.
"You can't go wrong with those – they're the basis of everything."

Happy New Year's Eve!
Seeing as how we all made it through the Apocalypse, I think there's cause for celebration!
May your 2013 be filled with burgers, dogs, steaks, roasts and much happiness!
THIS was Christmas Eve dinner.
We are spending the holiday in the Cayman Islands.
And THIS is how you do steak Cayman-style. A Kansas City strip in the Caribbean.
What wonderful meals did you prepare for the holidays?
Anything made with love surrounded by family and friends sounds delicious to me!
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!
Or is it . . . Merry Christmas, Roast!
Either way, you can be sure to find something your heart desires in Saveur.com's photo gallery of "34 impressive, satisfying roasts."
My favorite is the Rosemary-Rubbed Beef Tenderloin above. Subtle, tender, juicy. Perfect.
But you can find your favorite among the delectable items like Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding and Prime Rib.
It's fun to just click through the gorgeous photos and drool.
Have a very merry, Christmas, everyone!

Behold the beauty that is a steak and spinach pinwheel!

Merry Christmas Eve!

If you liked the BBQ grill ornament I showed you for your tree, get a load of these babies . . .
These two (above) might be my faves – so life-like!
Sometimes you want to use your Christmas tree to make a statement. Well, here ya go!
A keepsake with a bit of whimsy, this one's called "Grillin' and Chillin' 2012." Yes.
Often, the simplest message is the very best. Your tree is begging for this one.
You can see more steak Christmas ornaments here.
Let them bring the message of peace, hope and love that only steak can.

A bit of levity for your tree – and it's got steak on it!
This glass ornament from TJ's includes a BBQ grill with corn, a burger, steak and something green that is unidentifiable.
Anybody know what that is?
No matter. The burger and steak are what's important here.
Don't you want to hang them on your tree?
This officially qualifies as totally awesome.
Merry Steakmas?!?!!!

Still looking for a last-minute holiday gift for that special someone?
If he/she likes bacon, this is it.
It's a portrait of Kevin Bacon . . . made entirely of bacon.
Does it get more appealing than that?
I think not.
Happy holidays and may the bacon be with you.

Now THAT'S some meat! Bacon-wrapped filet mignon and crabcakes.
Now, this is not the kind of thing served in the school cafeteria (especially with the white wine pairing) but we're one step closer to it with the USDA allowing more meat at lunchtime.
Believe me, I'll bet there are some students who would LOVE to see that plate above in the cafeteria line. Minus the wine.
It won't be quite that good, but the Agricultural Department plans to do away with the limits on meat in school lunches. They'll scrap the maximum daily and weekly limits that were previously imposed.
Parents and lawmakers complained that students weren't getting enough meat to satisfy their hunger.
Some students even put together this pro-meat video to voice their distaste for the limits. Absolute genius.
I particularly love the "I Heart Beef" T-shirt the kid is wearing.
Say it loud! Say it proud!
Well, for once, their efforts struck a chord and the limits have been banished.
Free speech rocks.
Mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Carry on, meat eaters!

The Festival of Lights is going on right now. And among the many traditions of this beautiful holiday is the beloved food.
Beef brisket is chief among the amazing dishes served during this time and David Feder, a food writer in Buffalo Grove, IL, has put a new twist on this traditional favorite for Hanukkah.
It's flavored with apricots and prunes for a slightly different taste. Isn't it fun to change it up just a bit? Check out the entire beef brisket recipe and try it this year!
Feder suggests serving it with fluffy couscous and some garlicky green beans. Put your own stamp on it and make it a family favorite people will ask for year after year.
Sounds like a winner to me!

Okay, it's 12-12-12 and you know how we celebrate everything in my house, right?
But, let's come up with some creative ways to do this every-100-years thing right! Invite some people over, then try these festive ideas:
1. Serve 12 different cuts of steak – come on, you can do it!
2. Combine 12 cool spices and create an awesome rub for your roast.
3. Easy. Just invite 12 friends to eat steak. Boom.
4. Everyone gets a 12-ounce ribeye.
5. Serve whatever steak you want, but then go around the table and collectively come up with 12 things you're thankful for.
6. Ask a 12-year-old to recite the "12 Days of Christmas" while you eat your steak.
And if you're celebrating Hanukkah on this spectacular day, you've totally got this celebration thing under control.
Okay, now you come up with the next 6 to make 12 cool things to do on this awesome day. I need a 12-minute breather.
It's amazing how something that had nothing to do with steak turns into a steak-related holiday in my mind.
Really, aren't all special days steak-related in some way?
Happy 12-12-12, everyone!

'Tis the season for barbecue?
Listen, with all the merry makers coming in and out of your house this month you've got lots of meals to provide.
And turkey and ham for two weeks straight just isn't going to cut it.
At our house, we usually prepare lots of BBQ favorites to have around for BBQ dinners, BBQ sandwiches, even BBQ breakfast (don't knock it until you've tried it!).
It helps when lots of the heavy lifting has already been done for you like the sweet BBQ flank steak above that's already been slathered with a yummy citrusy sauce. You just pick your cooking method (grilling, roasting, pan frying, broiling) and serve!
It seriously makes the holidays more enjoyable for me.
Peruse all the great BBQ options and save your sanity this holiday season.
Bon appetit! (Just pretend I said that with a really twangy accent. Yee haw!)

Tasting menus are popular at fine restaurants. But why not try them at home?
This amazing thought had never occurred to me before. And I can't wait to try this at my next dinner party.
The gorgeous photo above is the Tasting Trio of Beef from the Fairmount Scottsdale Princess in Arizona. It features a wood-grilled ribeye, flat iron American Wagyu and a NY strip — all paired with complementary sides. Who wouldn't love this at a dinner party?
It's mix and match beef! Genius!
Read all about this gorgeous steak dinner and then create your own version at home. Try your favorite cuts of beef and sides and totally impress your guests.
You heard it here, beef lovers!

One of the first things that can't be overlooked before cooking a nice, juicy steak at home is a clean, healthy workspace.
Health.com features an article with great tips about keeping food prep areas safe and hygienic. For instance, using separate cutting boards — one for meat and the other for veggies. We don't want any cross-contamination.
Another important piece of cooking advice is to remember is use a meat thermometer. Cooking beef to the proper temperature (145 degrees F) is imperative.
Read on for more advice on cooking beef in a healthy kitchen.
Then, have fun cooking steaks at home!

Two-thirds of cancer patients will have their disease spread to their bones. The spine is the most common site and it can mean severe pain as tumors grow and press on nerves. Now, there's a new way to heat up and zap away the cancer.
A simple walk is a victory for Michaelene D'Ambrosio. Six months ago, she was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer.
"70% of my breast tissue was tumor," Michaelene said. That tumor had spread to her spine, causing severe pain.
"I couldn't bend. I couldn't reach. I couldn't walk. The pain was just constant," Michaelene said.
"It was heartbreaking," Ashley Johnson, Michaelene's granddaughter said.
Then Michaelene found Dr. Rakesh Donthineni who treats spinal tumors with STAR ablation.
"The goal is truly to kill the tumor," Rakesh Donthineni, MD, Cancer Specialist for Spine and Extremities said.
First, he inserts a needle into the spine. Next, he ablates the tumor with heat that reaches 100 degrees or more. Then, he fills in the hole with cement. The ablation doesn't carry the same side effects as traditional chemo or radiation, and 95 percent of patients report pain relief.
"You're reducing the size of the tumors. You're reducing the effects on improving the quality of life, and that's the goal in these patients," Dr. Donthineni said.
"I have been pain-free since the surgery," Michaelene said.
Now, pain doesn't get in the way of spending precious time with her granddaughter Ashley.
The doctor says he can ablate multiple tumors at the same time. Patients may experience some back pain and there's always a risk that the tumors can grow back. The procedure typically takes 45 minutes from start to finish.

In his 1959 essay, the novelist C. P. Snow argued that science and the humanities were dangerously divided – but is it still true in 2009?
C. P. Snow intended to call his lecture "The Rich and the Poor" - and regretted not doing so. This title points to what remains valuable about the essay now. Helping the world's impoverished majority meet their basic needs remains an obligation of richer societies, and applied science is a vital tool.
In other ways, though, Snow's lecture is superficial and misleading. Despite its subsequent reputation, it does not make useful distinctions between types of enquiry or discipline, making a thin contrast between "physicists" and "literary intellectuals" (mostly modernist poets and novelists, not scholars in the humanities). It also identified a rather outdated element of English cultural attitudes and snobbery, rather than a true divide between disciplines. It makes better sense to talk of ...

Win keeps Boise State a half game ahead of Fresno State in the league standings.
BOISE, Idaho (3/1/2008) - Boise State University sent its seniors off in style with a 66-55 victory over the University of Hawai'i in the home finale Saturday night in Taco Bell Arena at Boise, Idaho. Ja'Lara Walker continued her recent surge leading the Broncos with team-highs for points and rebounds on 14 and eight respectively. After taking a three-point lead into halftime the Broncos slowly pulled away from the Rainbow Wahine in the second half to win their 13th game in a row, the second longest win streak in program history. The victory keeps Boise State at first place in the Western Athletic Conference standings with a 13-2 league record.
The first half was a struggle as neither team seemed to get any momentum. Hawaii started the game with a 7-2 run to take their largest lead of the game three minutes into the contest. Boise State countered with a 12-2 run which included taking the lead for good on a Jenna Galassi jumper from the top of the key with 14:35 to play giving the Broncos a 11-9 advantage. By the time the run ended at the 13:56 mark Boise State led 14-9.
After extending their lead to six points, 23-17, with 6:31 left, the Broncos eventually settled for a three-point 25-22 score at the break. Both teams struggle with their shots as Boise State hit 29.4 percent from the floor compared to Hawaii's 30.8.
The second half saw the Broncos increase their fortunes from the line hitting 46.9 percent (15-32) while Hawaii continued to struggle at 33.3 percent (10-30). Boise State opened the final 20 minutes with a 8-0 run to take an 11-point, 33-22, lead. The Broncos then maintained at least a seven point lead until the Hawaii pulled to within four points, 41-37, with 9:36 to go.
With the Rainbow Wahine closing in, the Broncos responded with an 11-2 run over the next three minutes to take a 11 point, 50-39, advantage. They eventually stretched it to a game-high 14 points, 55-41, with 5:34 remaining. Hawaii was unable to pull any closer than eight points in the final five and half minutes.
Turnovers were big in the game as Hawaii gave it away 28 times compared to Boise State's season low (tied) 11, resulting in a 26-to-nine Bronco advantage in points off turnovers. The blue and orange also dominated the paint 26-to-12 behind Walker's 14 points.
Jenna Galassi followed Walker's team highs with 12 points, four rebounds, one assist, while tying her career high for steals with four. Tasha Harris added 11 points, three boards, five assists, and four steals, followed by Jackie Lee's 10 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block, and three steals. Jamia Malone finished with nine points while Sierra Moeller chipped in five. Jessica Thompson finished with two points on a pair of free throws making it the first game in her career, 86 games, without a field goal.
Saundra Cariaga led Hawaii with a team-high 15 points and six rebounds. Meanwhile, Tanya Smith finished with a double-double on 12 points and 15 rebounds. No one else had double digit points for the Wahine.
The win improves Boise State to 21-6 on the year and 13-2 in WAC action. It also increases their home win streak to 16 games making it the sixth longest active streak in the NCAA. The 13 consecutive league wins is also a new Bronco record. Hawaii drops to 11-16 overall and 5-9 in WAC play. Next up for Boise State is the season finale at Utah State this Thursday in Logan, Utah. A win there would guarantee the Broncos a share of their second consecutive league championship.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - April 15, 1970):
The oldest settlement in Loudoun County, Waterford is a remarkable intact example of a late 18th and early 19th century rural village surrounded by its historic farmland. Its significance rests on the almost pristine appearance of the village and surrounding countryside.
The NPS has provided technical assistance to the Village and Loudoun County by reviewing proposed development plans and by identifying areas that should remain undisturbed to protect the integrity of the Landmark. There are currently no state and only rudimentary local controls to prevent destruction of the historic values of the District. Preservation in Waterford continues to be basically a private sector initiative. One major transaction has secured the southern entryway to the village through protective easements, and recently, the Waterford Foundation purchased 57 acres within the Landmark's northern border to prevent excessive development. Unfortunately, the Foundation did not have the resources to retain the land, and resale with minimal development was financially necessary. The Foundation subdivided the property into four large lots, retaining 2.5 acres for parking for the annual fail. The four lots were each sold with open space conservation easements and one development right with protective covenants.
A developer has purchased 144 acres of the Phillips Farm of Waterford, Virginia all of which is inside the boundaries of the Waterford National Historic Landmark and forms Waterford's most prominent and cherished viewshed-an unspoiled agricultural setting on the north and west framed against the distant Blue Ridge Mountains. The Waterford Foundation has begun fundraising efforts to buy out the developer and preserve the farm. The Foundation will need help now to raise approximately $3 million.
The anticipated asking price will virtually preclude uses for the property other than as a location for outsized houses that would be sited on the high ground overlooking the village. Such a jarring visual intrusion would undercut the U.S. Department of the Interior's rationale for establishing the Landmark in 1970, which states, "a preserved farm village within an intact agricultural setting." The National Park Service has cautioned that obtrusive development risks revocation of landmark status-signifying that the nation has lost an irreplaceable historic resource.
Recommendation/Change since last report:

The Bachelorette
Chris Harrison's Warning To Bachelorette 2012 Bad Boys: "Beware Of The Wrath Of Emily"
Rosemaster Chris Harrison was Kelly Ripa's guest host on Live! With Kelly today and, of course, he used part of the time to plug Emily Maynard's The Bachelorette Season 8, which is now filming in Toronto and will start airing on May 14, 2012.
Chris and Kelly shot their Live! episode in Banff, Alberta, so it sounds like Chris is enjoying a Canadian holiday. He also had some surprising words about Emily. "She's a pistol. She's sweet until the time she's not," Chris said on the show (via Celebrity News & Style), adding the warning, "if any gents are there for the wrong reasons, beware of the wrath of Emily."
Interesting! It would be nice to see more oomph and backbone from Emily. Although, shouldn't the casting department have already weeded out the doofuses there for "the wrong reasons"? Isn't something special about Season 8 that the guys knew ahead of time that Emily would be the rosemistress and they had to take the idea of being a hubby/stepdad seriously? Are we still going to have to deal with some jokers?
Chris also called Emily "Perfect on a stick," which may have been a nod to Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy's self-declaration that he was "Sex on a stick." What other adjectives and nouns can we put on a stick?

Young players might get a look with our season petering out, writes Jamie Smith.
Eddie Howe has stated he intends to blood some young players in the last few games of the season and he has been room in the squad by shipping out some disappointing players on loan.
Zavon Hines, Keith Treacy and Andre Amougou have all gone, but with the youths in the middle of a title race and an FA Youth Cup semi-final, their progress into the first team may be delayed for now. Cameron Howieson, Stevie Hewitt and Shay McCartan could be among those who get a match before the end of the season, however.
Danny Lafferty could start a third game in a row at left-back, while Junior Stanislas will be hoping to continue against his former club.
Jay Rodriguez is likely to be in the side after returning from a groin problem in the disappointing 1-0 loss at Ipswich Town in the week, while Danny Ings could be recalled at the expense of the struggling Charlie Austin.
Sam Allardyce brings his West Ham team to Turf Moor desperate for points as they chase automatic promotion under pressure from Reading and Birmingham City.
He has a wealth of strikers to choose from, with Nicky Maynard being a disappointment after his January signing from Bristol City.
Julien Faubert, Guy Demel, Papa Bouba Diop and Ricardo Vaz Te are all injured, but the Hammers have a deep enough squad to cope.
Some 21 different players have scored for West Ham this season, in stark contrast to the Clarets who have relied heavily on Rodriguez.
The Hammers are the draw specialists in the division with 11 stalemates, including four draws on the spin.
But with ten wins on the road this season, their style of play is arguably more suited to being away from the Boleyn Ground.
And the Clarets have only collected 24 of their 49 points from Turf Moor this season, with indifferent home form acting as a barrier to play-off hopes all season.
We're currently 16th in the table and will slip even lower if we fail to get some more points on the board soon.
Relegation is out of the question with the 50-point mark close to being breached, but the Clarets need to finish as high up the league as possible to attract players for next season.
West Ham will be coming to the Turf for revenge after our smash and grab win there earlier in the season and the way we have been playing in the last few weeks, it's hard to bet against them getting the win.
Previous encounters show we have a good record at home to the Hammers in 38 games, with 23 home wins, six away wins and nine draws.
Prediction: Burnley 1-2 West Ham United

|Back To Agenda
|Print Page
1. Receive a report and an evaluation of the bids received for the Point Vicente Interpretive Center Expansion Project;
2. Review Staff's recommendations for ancillary services for various architectural, engineering and inspection services to administer the construction contract;
3. Review the process for designing and constructing the exhibit area;
4. Consider the alternatives for project funding; and
5. Continue the issue of contract awards to the City Council meeting of July 20, 2004.
On May 18, 1999 the City Council awarded a contract for the expansion of the
Point Vicente Interpretive Center in the amount of $2,408,614. Now, slightly
more than five years later, the same project will require an award of a construction
contract of $4,013,420, reflecting an increase in the cost of the project of
approximately 67%. Further, the Public Works Department will recommend that
the City Council establish a contingency fund of 10% of the contract amount
for unforeseen changes during construction.
The City may be able to negotiate some additional contract change orders eliminating
some of the project features to reduce the cost of construction. It is doubtful
that more than $100,000 could be realized by doing so.
Construction of the Point Vicente Interpretive Center (PVIC) Expansion is nearing reality. The lead contamination has been remediated to the satisfaction of the Department of Toxic Substances and Control (DTSC), the storm drain has been constructed and the site has been partially opened to the public for it's enjoyment.
The PVIC Expansion Project is a 7,474 square foot single story addition to the existing PVIC building. Miscellaneous remodeling will occur in the existing building for the incorporation of interpretive exhibits. Site work includes grading, landscaping, and paving for service drives, terraces and walkways.
Subsequent to the remediation efforts, the PVIC Expansion plans were finalized and advertised. Bids were opened on Thursday, April 15, 2004. Three bids were received, ranging from a low of $3,675,420 to a high of $4,967,803. The bid results are as follows:
2004 Bid Results
Contractor Amount
MTM Construction, Inc. is the apparent low bidder. The Public Works Department
has contacted MTM's references and all reported satisfactory or above
performance on similar projects. The bid documents and bonds are in order and
their contractor's license is current.
Change Order No. 1 ($338,000) – Eleven days after submittal of their bid, MTM Construction, Inc. submitted a letter to Public Works requesting to withdraw their bid due to miscalculation errors. Their request to withdraw was denied pending further detailed explanation of the miscalculation. MTM provided letter from two sub-contractors citing miscalculations in the electrical quantities and masonry veneer quantities which produced a bid $338,000 less than the intended bid. After reviewing MTM's explanation of the bid error, Staff was satisfied that the error claim was legitimate and agreed to issue a change order for the $338,000 bid error. This approach is less expensive than allowing MTM to withdraw their bid and award the project to the second lowest bidder, at a cost approximately $1.2M more than the lowest bid.
Asbestos Removal ($40,000) – After the remediation efforts, asbestos testing was conducted on the existing PVIC building and it was determined that asbestos exists in the lead-based paint and the roof mastic. The asbestos must be remediated prior to the General Contractor mobilizing on site. This work will be performed by a specialty contractor and was not included in the contract bid.
Youth-At-Risk (Los Angeles Conservation Corps) ($14,784) – As part of satisfying requirements associated with Measure A funds, the City is required to use a portion of the project budget towards the employment of Youth-At-Risk. The Los Angeles Conservation Corps has submitted a proposal to conduct site preparation work such as, weed abatement, brush and trail clearance, and Palos Verdes stone separation for use in the PVIC Native Garden. The Los Angeles Conservation Corps has performed satisfactory work with the development of Lower Hesse Park, another Measure A funded project.
Construction Contingency ($401,342) – Construction contingency is often needed for unexpected construction related items that may occur. Normally we establish a contingency equal to 10% of the contract cost.
Sea Cave Element
Sea Cave Exhibit Construction ($131,500) – Construction of the PVIC sea cave exhibit will commence after the building is completed and before PVIC is operational and open to the public. The sea cave exhibit is a dramatic entrance exhibit made of a variety of materials with integrated Plexiglass displays.
Building Code Inspection ($25,000) – Building Code inspections will be conducted by Charles Abbott Associates.
Site Inspection ($10,000) - Charles Abbott Associates will also conduct the site inspections. Site inspections include utility trenches and layout, concrete finish, pavement inspections, striping inspections, landscape, lighting and irrigation inspections.
Environmental Inspection and Compliance ($15,360) - The Source Group, Inc. will provide environmental monitoring and consulting services during the construction phase. This firm is intimately knowledgeable of the site and has been involved since the initial lead discovery. The Source Group will ensure that the Contractor adhere's to the restrictions on the site and exercises due diligence with soil on site. The Source Group will serve as extended Staff working closely with the Constructor Manager and Public Works Department.
Geotechnical Inspection ($23,230) - Group Delta will provide geotechnical and geological consulting services during the construction of PVIC. Group Delta has been the consulting geotechnical engineer on this project since the remediation efforts. Group Delta will certify the compaction for the building foundation and sitting wall, as well as, conduct geotechnical tests for adequacy of fill material.
Architectural Support ($57,525) - Ron Yeo Architects, Inc. prepared the original expansion plans and the updated plans for the project. Architectural support services include review of submittals and shop drawings, attend meetings, and respond to "requests for Information" inquiries.
Civil Engineering Support ($5,000) – Merit Civil Engineering prepared the original storm drain, grading and civil improvement plans for the project. This firm will review submittals, attend meetings and respond to "requests for information" inquiries.
Landscape Design Support ($3,200) - Jon Cicchetti Landscape Architects prepared the landscape and irrigation plans for the project. Joh Cicchetti's office will review shop drawing submittals, attend meetings an conduct irrigation coverage test.
Lastly, Staff has identified elements of the project that may be eliminated from the project scope to reduce the cost of construction. These features will have to be negotiated with the contractor after award of project. It is premature to assign a cost associated with each feature, however, recognizing, yet another potential cost savings is prudent at this time. Some of the features include:
? Delete Amphitheatre
The following table summarizes the financial outlook of the PVIC project
The PVIC project is currently under funded by approximately $1,576,015. Staff has identified potential funding sources to partially cover the shortfall.
Un-appropriated Restricted Funds
There are $443,499 un-appropriated EET, Quimby and Measure A funds available. Additionally, There are $30,300 Quimby funds remaining from the Ladera Linda and Hesse Park Swing set projects. Total funds available from restricted funds is $473,799.
General Funds, currently allocated for the PVIC Soil Remediation Project, Roadway Beautification Fund, the Underground Utilities Fund, and the Capital Improvement Projects Fund have been identified as potential fund sources. If Council decides to utilize these funds for the PVIC Expansion Project, $1,301,526 will be available to offset the shortfall. Additionally, Proposition C funds have been identified as being available if replaced with General Funds and Waste Reduction Funds can replace General Funds if we use asphalt rubber for the parking lot overlay. Currently, there are two projects, the '03-'04 Arterial Slurry and the '04-'05 Arterial Slurry projects that are currently funded with General Funds. These funds can be swapped with Prop C funds to free-up $400,000 in General Funds and $50,000 of General Funds can be replaced with Waste Reduction funds for the PVIC project.
1. Reject all bids and re-advertise the Point Vicente Interpretive Center Expansion Project.
2. Award a construction contract for the Point Vicente Interpretive Center Expansion Project to MTM Construction, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $3,675,420, issue Change Order No. 1 for $338,000 to cover bid discrepancies, authorize staff to spend an additional $401,342 for possible extra work for a total authorization of $4,414,762 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Contract;
3. Award construction contracts for specialize construction activities for the PVIC Expansion project for Asbestos remediation and employment of Youth-at-Risk in the amount totaling $54,784 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Contract;
4. Award various Professional Services Agreements in the amount totaling $474,969 for construction management, architectural, engineering and inspection services and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement;
5. Adopt Resolution No. 2004-xxx; approving a budget adjustment of $1,576,015 to the Capital Improvement Project Budget for the Point Vicente Interpretive Center Expansion Project to cover additional project construction, inspection, and engineering costs.
Respectfully Submitted,

How To Make Your Closet Happy
On a scale of 1-10, how happy would you say your closet is? If you have a pile of dry cleaning over 30 garments, shapeless boots and/or wire hangers, you can't give an answer over 5. Although I don't know your closet personally, I know an organized closet is a happy one (and also makes for a happier owner). I'm no professional organizer (my personal closet isn't perfect) but there's a few things I've learned in my quarter-of-a-century lifetime that I think deserves some sharing. Especially something I like to call the Uber of dry cleaning. Yes, this exists.
Shop My Closet On Vaunte
So I've had my eye on this website for a while (and by a while I mean since they launched in November, so really not that long) and it's a pretty cool idea. Think Gilt meets online luxury consignment meets The Coveteur…oh and the New York Times is a fan. All good stuff, right?
Vaunte is the brainchild of Gilt's former VP of Creative (and one of the original Gilt team members), Leah Park, and Gilt's former VP of Marketing and Brand Relations, Christian Leone. And if you've ever read By Invitation Only, you know Gilt gets the best talent.
But enough about Gilt, and more about Vaunte.

Federal Government has inaugurated a technical committee for a national mass literacy campaign as part of efforts to make 40 million Nigerians literate by 2015.
Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, who inaugurated the committee yesterday in Abuja, said the campaign would increase awareness and strengthen commitment of stakeholders to eradicate illiteracy.
Wike said ignoring Nigeria's 64 million illiterates is a threat to economic development efforts by government.
The 22-member committee is made up of officials from the Federal Ministry of Education, parastatals, private organisations, international development partners and civil society organisations. The committee is chaired by the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-formal Education (NMEC), Jibrin Paiko.

India's launch site as seen by Japan's Daichi orbiter, now lost
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2011/04/25 12:22 CDT
I wrote the following blog entry about an image from Japan's Daichi Earth-observing orbiter last week as one to keep in my back pocket for a day when I was too busy to write, not anticipating that there'd soon be a more pressing reason to write about Daichi. On April 21, after just over five years of orbital operations, Daichi unexpectedly fell silent, and is probably lost forever.

The Somali government and Kenya security agents have dismissed threats issued by Al Shabaab militants that they will execute Kenyan hostages unless terror suspects held in Kenya are released.
Somalia ambassador to Kenya Mohammed Ali Nur said the threats are an indication of the waning influence of the Al-Qaeda linked insurgents.
"We condemn threats issued by the Al Shabaab to Kenya. We want the hostages released unconditionally," said Nur. "These are the last kicks of Al Shabaab."
The insurgents issued an ultimatum to Kenya on Wednesday to release all prisoners held on terrorism charges through their twitter page.
The terror group further demanded the intervention of the Kenyan government to secure the release of Muslims extradited to Uganda for terrorism charges.
The suspects were arrested over the July 2010 twin bomb attacks that killed at least 74 people in Kampala.Speaking yesterday at the Mombasa law courts Nur said, the Al Shabaab insurgents are holding only three Kenya civilians.
Nur said almost all the major towns in Somalia that were under the control of the Al Shabaab have been liberated by the Amisom troops.
"We believe that in a few months time, the whole country will be liberated and will be under the transitional government. So, they better give up," said Nur.
The head of the Ant-Terror Police Unit, Boniface Mwaniki said the government will not negotiate with the Al Shabaab."The position of the security agents is clear, we will not hold any talks with illegal group," said Mwaniki. "Let them free them unconditionally."
The ATPU boss said Al Shabaab is an amorphous organisation "It will be contemptuous if I comment on matters before court," said Mwaniki.
The Al Shabaab terror group has been accused of being behind a spate of grenade attacks in Nairobi, Mombasa and Garissa.
