This is my life @ times. Fear of people. A phobia. I don't know. I am a
Here is a short post from Donald Miller called Leaders Lead People Through Fear that I read last night that really encouraged me to stop and take time to look at where my life is at right now and perhaps ALL of the circumstances going on right this very minute are all new characters in the new story line of my life.
For now – I am looking at the doorbells and phone calls and strangers around me in my daily life as practice..little lessons wrapped in flesh sent to gently let me learn that I will not die when engaging in talking to people.::they can't hurt me..really ::that I don't have to be a prisoner of these fear feelings for the rest of my life. ::I can do it even though I'm afraid.
I will get back to you and let you know how it is going:)do people scare you? if so, what do you do that helps you? Maybe it will encourage you as well. Happy Weekending:) xo~tgbg

Up to The Challenge
Press Release Date
Sunday, May 1, 2011
Even a broken ankle couldn't keep Mikayla Medin away from competing in the Bay Area's largest team-design science competition, The Tech Challenge 2011, presented by Cisco. Mikayla, who broke her right ankle during a softball game, made up one fifth of the award-winning "Trash Junkies," a hot-pink haired squad from Bullis Charter School in Los Altos. "I wouldn't miss it!" Mikayla, 12, said of participating in the challenge with her team that included Jake Lee, 12, and Jake Pare, 12. "These guys run around a lot, but I'm used to it. I can keep up with them." And it's a good thing she did. The team won a top award - "Most Spectacular Failure" - for their motorized crane and Styrofoam contraption built to solve this year's challenge - to clean up Trash Island: The Great Pacific Gyre. The whirling vortex is trapping human-produced trash, mostly plastic bits, and is ruining marine habitats and poisoning plants and animals. A record 1,142 students - including two from as far away as Maharashtra, India - competed in The Tech Challenge 2011. This year, girls made up or were exclusive members of 45 percent of the 263 teams in this year's challenge - the most ever. And, in another first, a home-schooled duo flew in from Maharashtra, India, just to compete. A team from Quebec, Canada, competed via video. The Tech Challenge, a signature program of The Tech Museum, introduces and reinforces the scientific process with a hands-on team project geared to solve a real-world problem. Through the competition, students are introduced to science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM), acquiring key skills for a 21st century global society. The project-based nature of the competition distinguishes it from many other science-based program for youth in grades 5 through 12. For more than two decades, The Tech Challenge has allowed some 14,000 youth throughout California, New York and other regions to hone their creativity and innovation on challenges that included building devices to fight wildfires, remove invasive fish from a lake, explore an Egyptian tomb and survey craters on Mars.? As the world economy becomes increasingly driven by technology, it is vitally important to break down barriers early on and to introduce and encourage students to the field through events such as The Tech Challenge and other learning-related opportunities. The competition is also leveling the playing field by hosting more Title I schools and low-income after-school programs than any other Bay Area science contest - one reason Cisco has elected to be the presenting sponsor of the contest. For this year's challenge, top awards for "Best Overall Solution" went to three teams each in the high school, middle school and elementary school divisions. Best Overall Solution encompasses device performance, engineering and design, style and presentation and the scientific process. The winning teams are: High School - Best Overall Solution Grand Prize: (Team #132) Cephalopod Saviours from Cupertino High School (Cupertino) 2nd Place: (Team #272) Turn The Tide from Cupertino High School (Cupertino) 3rd Place: (Team #14) Narwhals Trippin' on Trash from Cupertino High School (Cupertino) Grades 7 and 8 - Best Overall Solution Grand Prize: (Team #311) The Solution Seekers from Castilleja School (Palo Alto) 2nd Place: (Team #366) The Anti Plastic Cheezy Scuba Bubs from Hillview School (Menlo Park) 3rd Place: (Team #13) Aquanauts from Lawson Middle School (Cupertino) Grade 5 and 6 - Best Overall Solution Grand Prize: (Team #246) Rolling Tacos from Menlo School (Atherton, CA) 2nd Place: (Team #365) AKA Eco Force 3 from Encinal School (Menlo Park, CA) 3rd Place: (Team #384) Clean up Crew from Menlo School (Atherton, CA) Other teams took home prizes for their achievement in Engineering, Device Performance, Teamwork, Creativity, Style and Presentation.

Thanks for the overwhelming (literally) response and enthusiasm about doggyloot. We hope you fetched some popular products for your pup and just wanted to follow-up on some comments from above.
1. Website Status – Yes, our site was temporarily down yesterday due to the overwhelming response from Hip2Save and others regarding our birthday promotion. We're sorry if you missed out, but fortunately it sounds like most of you got the credit on time.
2. No $10 Items Left – We're a "flash sales" website, meaning we sell limited quantities for a limited time or until we sell out. Thanks to the overwhelming response, everything we were selling under $10 sold out yesterday. The good news is that every day we add new products to the site, so just come back tomorrow to see what you can find.
3. Do credits expire? – No. Don't worry about items not being available today, you can use them anytime you find something you want.
4. How much credit can I get? – Every can use the Hip2Save link to get a $5 "refer-a-friend" credit. However, our birthday promotion for an extra $5 was limited to yesterday afternoon. Anyone who took advantage of the promotion yesterday can get a full $10, and anyone just seeing this deal today or in the future can get $5 by signing up for our website using the link Hip2Save shared.
Regardless of special promotions, you earn $5 when a friend refers you and $10 when you refer a friend who makes a purchase so feel free to spread the word. In addition, our deals are discounted up to 75% and shipping is ALWAYS free so we're a great shopping destination even when there isn't a promo :)
Thanks for the overwhelming response. We hope we made a lot of dogs very happy yesterday!! If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us via this link: https://doggyloot.com/contact-us
Lots of licks,
The doggyloot team
Thank you!!! My girls are in charge of giving the dogs the treats – BFF's for life!!!! https://doggyloot.com/invite/7efaf5d6
Please use my link for my little Yorkie.
please use my like i just took in my friends 3 dogs and i have 2 i need a lot of chew toys.
I signed up through one of the previous posters. please sign up with mine :)
Just received an email stating if you did not receive the email for the survey invite (according to them, it was only sent to long standing customers), you would not be receiving the additional 5 dollar credit. Funny, because I bet they still use the information from the completed surveys of those who completed it without the invite.

byBeth Sawicki, 11Alive.com (WXIA)
ATLANTA -- Two men were arrested and two trafficked teenagers were rescued when police executed a search warrant in DeKalb County last week.
DeKalb County Police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said 28-year-old Kamau Benjamin and 22-year-old Anthony Means are accused of trafficking a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old.
The men were arrested Jan. 30 at an apartment on Valley Bluff Drive in north Atlanta.
Parish said the suspects' victims were targeted and groomed for sex trafficking because they were runaways. The 18-year-old told police she had been exploited since she was 16.
Investigators also believe the two girls were abused, raped, forced to take drugs and deprived of food, Parish said. Both victims are receiving specialized treatment.
Police are now trying to track down men who paid to have sex with the victims.
Benjamin and Means were charged with trafficking, rape, false imprisonment and marijuana possession.

"I used this card as a joint christmas card and birth announcement and it was perfect! I included birth announcement on the front of the card and than a christmas greeting on the back. The card is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for."
"This card is lovely in its simplicity. You have the option to remove the large letter in the corner, to put the focus more on the baby. I adapted this as a Baptism invitation and it worked out very well. I had it printed on the "pearl shimmer" paper and the subtle shimmer was a very pretty touch. (It wasn't overwhelming, just a soft shimmer)"
"I used this as a birth announcement and thank you card. There was room on the back to write a personal note to the recipient ( over the chevron pattern). The pearl finish was beautiful. My only suggestion is to be cautious of your text/photo colour. Some words are easier to read than others."
"We ordered 100 pearl shimmer (Blessed) announcements for our little guy and you cannot imagine the compliments we received on them. They were beautiful, excellent quality and overall a great product. The only complaint I would have was the envelopes didn't seem to have a good quality glue on the seal so I put a piece of tape on everyone. They probably would have been ok but I just worried."
"Love this announcement. I also purchased some from another site and the photo was not as clear. The design rocks! It's very cute I would recommend highly. I love the minimal design."

Sundance the SteakhouseRead MoreFive Things to Know About Sundance the Steakhouse Sundance the Steakhouse embodies exactly what one imagines of a steakhouse dining room. Candlelit meals. Mahogany accents. Private, high-backed booths. Read on to find out how this timeless aesthetic has helped the steakhouse endure for more than 40 years: The steaks are butchered in-house and aged for 28 days. In beef years, that makes the steaks old enough to get a driver's license. Prime rib is the main attraction. This house specialty is slow-roasted for more than eight hours before being carved to order and served with horseradish and hot au jus. Entrees pair with a selection of more than 450 wines from around the world. It doesn't chase trends. Steak and seafood are stalwarts of fine dining, of course. But at Sundance, even the desserts are a constant. The signature mud pie has remained the same since opening in 1974. It's no stranger to famous actors and athletes. Sundance has hosted everybody from top college basketball teams to actor Rob Lowe.1921 El Camino RealPalo Alto, CA US

Need a personalized restaurant recommendation? Want to get picky customers to buy a product? Trying to avoid a fine for texting and walking? Or do you just want to read some good old praise for Tag? Well, don't sweat it: this week's news roundup has you covered on every front:
Tag makes the news
Microsoft Tag's very own Director of Business Development, Bill McQuain, was interviewed by Barcode News this week! In the article he talks about what sets Tag apart from its competitors, such as our colorful barcodes and powerful analytics reports. And what was their conclusion about Tag? "More consumers will respond to a graphic that they find interesting or stimulating, and certainly Tags can be compelling. Lest we forget, generating consumer response is what this whole niche is about." We couldn't agree more! (Barcode News)
Tips for courting customers with smartphones
Savvy consumers comparing and contrasting prices and researching products is more common than ever with the advent of smartphones. But how can retailers engage persnickety phone-wielding shoppers? OpinionLab has some suggestions: "The first tip is to put as much information into the consumer's hands as possible." What a great opportunity for some Microsoft Tags! Barcodes will guide the customers to exactly the information they need to see and that you want them to see. Other tips include offering exclusive incentives, using social media, and always listen to customer feedback. (Internet Retailer)
There's a fine for that
Everybody knows texting and driving is a risky affair, but texting and walking? Officials in some states appear to think so. The mayor of Philadelphia, Michael A. Nutter, reportedly denied allegations that anyone was fined $120 for walking and texting, but did say that "violators are now being 'reminded to be more aware of their surroundings.'" Rexburg, Idaho residents may not get off so easily. People caught texting and crossing the street are subject to fines of up to $50. (Guardian)
Phones can now make decisions for you
This is good news for the indecisive among us! There's a new app that aims to be the "Pandora for the Real World," effectively predicting what restaurants you will love based on information that you provide. When you fire up the app, called Alfred, it will ask you questions about your preferences and then make recommendations. And, like it's musical counterpart, the more information you provide Alfred, the better its recommendations will become over time. (PSFK)

text: In order to support sparse reference collections (and in order to be able to iterate over them across processes) I deprecated 'dict' cardinality for multi-valued reference attributes. This means that all reference collections are ordered and of cardinality 'list'. I also did the same change a few days ago for an item's children collection for the same reasons, hence you can now rely on the order of children of an item to be preserved. You can also change this order with the new placeChild() method. I did fix a performance bug related to loading children which slowed down attribute aspect finding quite a bit. I did fix a bug where children would go 'apparently' missing when a new child was added to an item with children created in a previous session. You need to re-create your repository with -create after obtaining these changes. Andi..

XHTML combines the extensibility of XML and the adaptability of HTML. HTML is a markup language that allows for the display of information across most commonly web browsers. XML is a flexible and extensible mark-up language that reduces the complexity of HTML without giving up on its unique features. The problem in using just HTML is that certain HTML tags are only viewable in certain browsers and their look will change from browser to browser. Until the advent of XHTML, the only solution for a HTML developer would be not to use those tags or vary them in order for them to be compatible across various browsers. XHTML brings an end to this ordeal because if one needs a new markup tag, one would define an XHTML module and incorporate it in a page like standard HTML tags.
WITS Technologies (P) LTD. an ISO 9001:2008 certified company chooses XHTML because it gives us a more consistent, well-structured framework so that your website has a future assurance against changing web browsers. XHTML allows your website to be more easily parsed and processed by a browser. The greatest advantage of XHTML over other markup languages is that it makes your website simpler to edit, maintain, convert and format in the future.
HTML5, Hypertext Markup Language is a markup language popular amongst web developers in creating documents to be displayed in computer browsers. HTML5 is the latest edition, currently under development, which enhances the video, audio and "canvas" elements of a site. HTML5 has additional rules for the placement and format of text and graphics, as well as video and audio on a web page without having to use Flash plugin-ins for video and audio content. This saves developers the massive expense of licensing Flash's development toolkit for customized web applications.
WITS Technologies (P) LTD. an ISO 9001:2008 certified company works only in HTML5. Our HTML5 designer embrace this as a universal solution to providing a rich and light experience to web viewers. HTML5 enhances the user friendliness of a site, most notably the fact that it allows for the creation of offline web applications. WITS Technologies (P) LTD. an ISO 9001:2008 certified company supports the transition to open-sourced technologies like HTML5 web development. Because it is universally integrated in a webpage and unlike Flash does not require a plugin, the web community is espousing HTML5 as a viable alternative option.

Beware Your Next Job Interview – What Will They Ask?
With unemployment as high as it is, there are some new twists being added to job interviews for those brave enough to apply. It used to be pretty standard to go to an interview with resume in hand, dressed in a suit and tie, meet with a human resource director and make your case for why you should get the job. .
Those days appear to be over with some companies changing the interview process.

Brandon, Florida -- Hillsborough County deputies are asking for the public's help identifying the two men seen in a Brandon Kmart surveillance video stealing several chains worth around $1,600.
On Oct. 12, the two men walked into the store and went to the jewelry counter. One of the men can be seen forcing open the display case and removing about five chains.
The men then split up -- one headed out the front and into a white older model SUV, possibly a Ford Explorer, where he picked up the other who went out through the garden center.
Anyone with any information reference the suspects is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 247-8200 or anyone with any information regarding the identity and whereabouts of these suspects and who wants to be eligible for a cash reward is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), report anonymously online at www.crimestopperstb.com or text "CSTB plus your tip" to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637).

"Beyond Copenhagen: Reconciling International Fairness, Economic Development, and Climate Protection"
Discussion Paper
By Jing Cao, Former Research Fellow, Environment and Natural Resources Program, 2002-2003
This paper proposes a new architecture for international climate policy that might usefully be considered by delegates at COP 17 in Durban. It highlights a top-down approach that is designed to produce a fair distribution of burdens across countries, while achieving objectives of: (a) economic development; (b) decreasing wealth inequality; and (c) emission reductions consistent with holding the expected increase in global average temperature to 2 degrees Celsius. In addition, this discussion paper discusses several key design elements that will be important, especially from the perspective of developing countries, to the success of COP 17 and subsequent international climate negotiations. These design elements include agreements on burden sharing, choice of policy instruments, financial mechanisms and technology transfer, penalties for noncompliance, and linkages between trade and climate change.

"Reconciling Human Development and Climate Protection: Perspectives from Developing Countries on Post-2012 International Climate Change Policy"
Discussion Paper
By Jing Cao, Former Research Fellow, Environment and Natural Resources Program, 2002-2003
"...[T]his paper provides a new multi-stage climate policy framework based on a revised Global Development Right (GDR) calculation, and proposes a feasible hybrid negotiation framework from the perspective of developing countries. According to the "common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities" principle in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), we recognize that due to the historical emissions contributions and different pace of industrialization and growth around the world, a successful international climate policy needs to balance equity and efficiency and eventually achieve an overall carbon mitigation target."

PAWTUCKET — Returning to the city where she once served as chief accountant, Joanna L'Heureux has been named as Pawtucket's new finance director by Mayor Donald R.Grebien.
L'Heureux will succeed Ronald Wunschel, who is retiring from that post after 14 years. She will officially assume her duties in January, and Wunschel has offered to assist with the transition. L'Heureux served as Pawtucket's chief accountant in the Finance Department, under Wunschel, for nearly four years, ending in January 2001, after previously working as a staff accountant for the Pawtucket School Department.
Looking back on the 2011 sports year, my most vivid memories relate to a Shea High boys soccer team that dazzled opponents with its talent, ball skills and exuberance for the sport.
The Raiders made soccer fun to watch, even for a traditional sports fan like myself who is more attuned to football than "futbol."
PAWTUCKET — Make no mistake: Tolman made Shea earn its 60-55 victory Tuesday night at the Donaldson Gymnasium.
The Raiders were the dominant club for much of the way, building a 32-23 lead at halftime before going ahead by 17 points with eight minutes remaining. That's when Tolman head coach Mike Kayata decided to switch defenses from man-to-man to a matchup zone that allowed the home team to make a spirited charge.

Three different types of cartilage are found in the body:
Articular cartilage is a complex, living tissue that lines the bony surface of joints. It provides a low friction surface, enabling the joint to withstand weight bearing movements, both for daily activities as well as athletics, including walking and stair climbing, and work-related activities. In other words, articular cartilage is a very thin shock absorber.
Articular cartilage injuries can occur as a result of either traumatic mechanical destruction or progressive mechanical degeneration (wear and tear).
How Boston Children's Hospital approaches articular cartilage injuries
Depending on the severity of your child's articular cartilage injury, treatment may be surgical or non-surgical. At Children's, doctors are committed to repairing your child's knee in the least invasive manner possible, including physical therapy and tips on lifestyle changes. Surgery is only used in the most severe cases of articular cartilage injuries.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

It is no secret that is has been a very, very long time since I could consider myself a practicing Catholic but some old habits die really, really hard. This past Lent Season while I watched close friends and family perform their annual sacrifices participating in a ritual mirroring the sacrifice Jesus made for the sake of his followers, (i.e. his life) I found myself wanting to also participate but instead of 'giving up' I wanted to 'give back.' Since we can't fight fate, around the same time as Lent began so did the promotions for this year's Share Our Strength Bake Sale fundraiser drive encouraging millions of Americans to make a difference in the fight against childhood hunger by simply holding a neighborhood bake sale.
"Eureka!" I exclaimed internally. What a blessed way to give back-food! Better still, baked goods food! The Share Our Strength Bake Sale provides me the chance to give my community members a delicious treat for $1 and then turn that $1 into ammunition firing back against childhood hunger, truly a cause rooted deeply in my existence. Spokesperson for Share Our Strength Sandra Lee says in her commercial for the annual bake sale that her family often struggled to put food on the table, well sister I can most certainly relate. About the same time my family was fiercely into practicing Catholicism, we also were floundering to stay afloat financially. I have very vivid memories of my two older brothers, my mother, and myself riding two bicycles to our church's rectory (where the priests live) after all the Sunday services were over so we could take as much food donations as we could carry from the church's pantry while pedaling all the way back home. By age ten I was ratted out by my babysitter to my mom that I was hording snacks from her home in my backpack undoubtedly embarrassing my mother as she was trying her damnedest to provide for our little family. Yet, my desire to eat which caused my mother's blind-sided shame is a reality of what it means to be a hungry child.
It is no secret in my life and in the lives of countless others that childhood hunger is real and alive in our America, and that is why I am beyond excited to be a contributing food blogger and baker to Orlando's Share our Strength Bake Sale this Saturday April 17th, 2010 at The Central Winds Park in Winter Springs, FL from 8:30Am-2:00PM. Joining me are two more motivated bloggers and bakers Tasha from www.thatssoyummy.com and Angie from www.southerngracegourmet.com. Together the three of us are hoping to hustle some cupcakes, cookies, breads and more. Sound tasty? You bet it is!
While dedicating this entire post to the cause of raising awareness for childhood hunger and announcing our Orlando Share Our Strength Bake Sale totally constitutes a good blog post, I can't help myself but to include a recipe for my Tropical Chocolate Chip Cookie which I will be selling this Saturday to the hungry masses. May I please entice you-nay TEASE you-to come by and support Share Our Strength with my to-die-for confection? LET THEM EAT COOKIES!

New form of meth in electronic cigarettes?
by Wes Mayer
Two men were arrested last week with a narcotic substance that authorities in the Coweta County Sheriff's Office have never seen before.
Testing is not complete on the substance, but, at this point, investigators have determined the methamphetamine substance is meant to be smoked using electronic cigarettes, said Lt. Col. Jimmy Yarbrough with the Coweta County Sheriff's Office.
Around 1:23 p.m. on May 8, Sgt. Jeff Bugg made a traffic stop on Ga. Highway 85 in Senoia, Yarbrough said. The two passengers in the vehicle were identified as Keith Brian Furlong, 21, and Tony Aubrey Norris Jr., 22, and after receiving permission to search the vehicle, Bugg found a baggie containing several small brown, spongy, gelatinous cubes, Yarbrough said.
The substance tested positive for methamphetamine, Yarbrough said, and it was sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's crime lab for further testing. Furlong and Norris were both charged with possession of methamphetamine and were transported to the Coweta County Jail.

Traffic Jammin' with Janis Mara – Every Monday at 2pm on Claycord.com.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Greetings, all! This Claycord.com column is for everyone who negotiates the highways and public transit of the Bay Area. It runs every Monday at 2pm and answers your commuting and transportation questions.
Email your questions to email@example.com.
COMMUTER: Everyone I know is conscientious about strapping their kids into a car seat. What are the rules governing youngsters on motorcycles?
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Under California law, a passenger's feet must remain on the footrests while the motorcycle is moving, Curious, so that means smaller children can't ride a motorcycle. For those whose feet reach the footrests, the child must be seated behind the driver on a seat securely fastened to the machine and must wear a helmet. The Jammer adds: You can make an informed decision whether to ride a motorcycle; a child cannot. Leave the kids at home.
COMMUTER: Lately I've been playing a game: Find the most suicidal cyclist in Claycord. I saw one guy riding a bike carrying a six-pack in one hand, not wearing a helmet. Then, yesterday I was making a left turn at a traffic signal and a cyclist was right in front of me in the turn lane. What if a driver didn't see him?
–Worried about negligent bikers
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Worried, strange as it may seem, the bicyclist was not in error. In general, cyclists are governed by the laws of California affecting vehicles, and in general (though not always) they should ride as though they are cars.
If the bicyclist signaled, merged into the traffic lane, signaled and went into the left-turn lane, then made the left turn, he or she was doing the right thing. Another option: Jump off the bike and use the crosswalk. If you get off the bike, you're a pedestrian again.
COMMUTER: If a car containing a car seat is in a crash but the car seat was empty, does the car seat need to be replaced?
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Officer Daniel Hill of the California Highway Patrol kindly obliged with a detailed response. Here you go:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that all car seats involved in a moderate to severe traffic collision be replaced. Car seats involved in minor collisions do not need to be replaced, so long as ALL of the five criteria are met:
- A visual inspection including under any easily movable seat padding does not reveal cracks or deformation the crash might have caused;
- The vehicle was capable of being driven from the crash scene;
- The vehicle door nearest the child safety seat was undamaged;
- There were no injuries to any of the vehicle occupants; and
- The air bags did not deploy.
If any of the above is not met, or if it is still uncertain whether the seat was damaged, contact the insurance company. Many will replace car seats involved in collisions.
COMMUTER: (Follow-up question regarding the Interstate 680 toll lane:) Since I can use that HOV lane even if I don't have the required number of passengers in my car, how does the CHP know that I actually have paid for use of that HOV? Do I risk as a single occupant any time I use that particular HOV to be pulled over by the CHP? Do I have to show the CHP my transponder (that is, the FasTrak tag most people display on their windshields)?
What if I have forgotten my transponder in a different car, can I not use that HOV the same way I could still cross bridges without transponder? Otherwise why would anybody ever pay for use of the HOV as a single occupant car?
…Or more importantly. If I'm using that HOV as a single occupancy vehicle but either forgot my transponder or by accident forgot to take out of my Mylar bag and I get pulled over by the CHP, do I risk a car pool violation ticket for it?
TRAFFIC JAMMER: JWB, the Jammer is glad you continued with your follow-up questions. The more we all understand about how this works, the better off we are. Here are short answers to your questions: (1) Via special equipment; (2) Yes; (3) If pulled over, yes; (4) No; (5) That's a rhetorical question; (6) See officer's final answer below.
Now, here's the detailed response from Officer Hill:
The High-Occupancy/Toll (HOT) lanes, or Express lanes as the signs refer to them, can be confusing. All Northern California HOV and HOT lanes are enforced by the following two California Vehicle Code sections:
Vehicle Code section 21655.5 – HOV and HOT lanes shall have regulatory signs posted that tell motorists how the lanes are restricted. Drivers must obey all posted restrictions.
Vehicle Code section 21655.8 – HOV and HOT lanes may be separated from regular traffic lanes by double lines to the right. No vehicle shall cross those lines unless doing so because of an emergency vehicle behind it. (This is a moving violation)
The Bay Area has two HOT lanes, on I-680 S/B on the Sunol Grade, and on the I-880 to SR-237 transition roads. These are fully automated lanes without toll booths. Toll is paid electronically by a system that scans the vehicle transponder and deducts the indicated toll. If a vehicle is using the lane as an HOV lane, the driver is instructed to store the FasTrak transponder in the Mylar bag to prevent it from being tagged.
CHP officers tasked with enforcing the HOT lanes use special equipment that tells officers whether or not a vehicle's transponder is read. If the officer observes a vehicle within the HOT lane, which is not HOV and does not have a properly tagged FasTrak transponder, the vehicle will be stopped and the driver cited for violation of the HOT lane restrictions (the same violation as the "carpool" ticket).
All vehicles with sole occupants MUST have a FasTrak transponder in the vehicle when using an HOT lane. No system exists to scan vehicle license plates as they do at the toll plazas. Such a system would defeat the purpose of allowing HOV users to be in the lanes; An HOV within the lane that stored the FasTrak in the bag would be scanned and charged anyway with such a system in place.
A vehicle with a sole occupant in the HOT lane without a properly tagged FasTrak transponder will be cited for an HOT lane violation.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: That's it for this week – see you next Monday. Be sure to cruise by Claycord.com at 2pm for more traffic intelligence. Remember, whether you drive, walk, bike or hop Amtrak, BART or AC Transit, Traffic Jammer Janis Mara is here to answer your questions.

WESTVILLE - The law enforcement community is mourning the loss of Tony Bailey, a retired member of the New York State Police who died in a car accident Monday morning on state Route 37 in Westville.
Malone-based state police said in a release Mr. Bailey, 49, was driving a 2012 Chevrolet in the northbound lane when he crossed over the center line and was hit head-on by a 2012 Volvo tractor trailer driven by Michael A. Bono, 45, of Central Square. Westville Fire and EMS assisted at the accident scene. Mr. Bailey was taken to Alice Hyde Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Mr. Bono was treated for minor injuries and released.
The state police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating the cause of the accident.
Mr. Bailey was a member of the state police for 20 years, was an asset to law enforcement and an overall good person, according to some of the people who worked closely with him throughout the years. He was known for his vibrant personality, skilled work ethic and being a family man, they said.
Troop B Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) Captain Robert LaFountain, Ray Brook, said Mr. Bailey worked out of the the Malone barracks as a trooper and investigator and also worked for the Troop B gun investigation unit. Mr. Bailey was unit supervisor of the Canton BCI investigators just before his retirement.
He was the recipient of multiple commendation awards, according to Cpt. LaFountain, adding that Mr. Bailey received the Brummer Award with Trooper Arno Lippassaur, ne of the highest awards a trooper can receive.
Both troopers responded to a motor vehicle accident in 1999 in which a car had left the roadway and was submerged in the Salmon River, according to Captain LaFountain.
They dove down on several attempts to attempt to save the motorist, he said. Unfortunately the motorist was not saved.
Mr. Bailey and Tpr. Lippassaur were honored at the 24th Annual Superintendents Commendation Awards Ceremony, which was held on May 18, 2000, Captain LaFountain said.
He said Mr. Bailey ended his career with the state police on March 29, when he accepted a job as an analyst with Homeland Security Investigation Border Enforcement in Massena.
Investigator Bailey was a very skilled and competent member of the state police and also known as an outstanding person and family man, Captain LaFountain said. He will be greatly missed.
He said Bailey leaves behind a wife and two grown daughters.
Others who worked with Bailey recalled memories of him and how much they enjoyed working with him.
He was a phenomenal, just a spectacular ... wonderful man, said Derek Champagne, Franklin County District Attorney. He always treated everyone with respect and dignity. He will truly be missed.
Champagne noted Baileys charisma and warmth.
He was always so friendly and he lighted up a room, he said. He was one of a kind.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Glenn MacNeill also worked with Bailey on various cases throughout the years.
For my first trial as lead attorney, Tony was the lead investigator, he said, adding that Bailey was excellent to work with. I cant say enough about the kind of work he did. He was a top-notch investigator and just a good guy.
MacNeill said the loss has taken a toll on everyone who worked with Bailey.
Obviously the people he worked with in BCI are devastated, he said. Whatever you asked him to do, he did it and he did it right.
MacNeill commented on the kind of person Bailey was.
He was just a good person, he said. A fantastic person, fantastic investigator.

Title: Effects of temperature and storage time on resting populations of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Pseudomonas flurorescens in vitro
Authors: Olanya OM, Ukuku DO, Niemira BA
Journal: Food Control
Accepted date: 2013 Nov 2
Interpretive summary: An understanding of how microbes interact in pure and mixed cultures is crucial for determining how harmful pathogens might be controlled by applications of non-pathogens. Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a human pathogen commonly found on meats, fruits and vegetables. We determined how the biocontrol microbe Pseudomonas fluorescens changed the survival and growth of the pathogen. Tests were conducted: 1) with each organism alone or together; 2) on various growth media; 3) at different temperatures; 4) and for various lengths of time in storage. Both bacteria showed a similar response to temperature, with total numbers generally increased at temperatures of 25 deg C and 37 deg C, with little growth observed at 5 deg C or 15 deg C. When both bacteria were grown together, the biocontrol organism suppressed the pathogen. The degree of suppression depended on the specific growth media, the storage temperatures, and the length of time in storage. This research will be useful in designing protocols that rely on biocontrol organisms to suppress pathogens on fresh and fresh-cut produce. Applications of this research may be most significant in addressing transitory temperature abuse conditions, such as during transportation of leafy green produce from fields to processing sheds.

Detailed Description:
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an acute care complication with high morbidity and mortality, which is costly in length of stay and resources used. Application of chlorhexidine (CHX) to the mouths of critically ill adults after intubation reduces risk of VAP. During intubation, organisms may be dragged by the tube from the contaminated mouth to the sterile lung, and the endotracheal tube (ET) provides a pathway for direct entry of bacteria from the mouth to the lower respiratory tract. However, procedures to decontaminate the mouth before intubation are not routine and little is known about the effects of pre-intubation CHX in critically ill patients. Thus, this project focuses on evaluating the benefit of adding a pre-intubation CHX dose to the known benefit of post-intubation CHX to reduce the risk of VAP. In order to examine the effect of pre-intubation CHX on early ET colonization, we will perform microbial cultures of ETs of subjects who are extubated in the first 24 hours of study participation. We will also explore selected biomarkers (procalcitonin, cytokines) as indicators of development of VAP in a subset of subjects. The project will add to knowledge about the relationships among oral health, ET intubation and VAP, and addresses an important clinical outcome. Pre-intubation oral decontamination could reduce risk of VAP and its associated morbidity and mortality.

Santa Paula farmer, 2 others arrested for alleged raw goat milk operation
A Santa Paula farmer and two others have been arrested on criminal conspiracy charges for the alleged illegal production and sale of unpasteurized goat's milk, goat cheese and other products.
Sharon Ann Palmer, 51, who owns Healthy Family Farms, was arrested Wednesday by Ventura County Sheriff's deputies acting on a warrant issued by the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
Eugenie Victoria Bloch, 58, who works for Palmer, and James Cecil Stewart, 64, were taken into custody Wednesday morning after a multiagency task force carried out a raid on Rawesome, an unlicensed market in Venice owned by Stewart.
Prosecutors allege that Palmer has operated her Santa Paula farm and dairy without any type of license or permit for milk production since 2007, and that together with Bloch and Stewart, she made and sold unpasteurized dairy products.
The 21-page complaint details how, between March 27 and June 30, 2010, undercover investigators purchased unpasteurized goat milk, cheese, yogurt and kefir at farmers markets in Ventura, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties, as well as at Rawesome.
She also operated a Community Supported Agriculture club, or CSA, through which people could join her farm and purchase products directly.
Palmer and Healthy Family Farms are charged with nine felony counts relating to the production and sale of unpasteurized milk and other products.
Matt Krasnowski from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Palmer faces up to 6 years in prison. She is currently being held in Ventura County jail on $121,500 bail and no arraignment date has been set.
Bloch who works for Palmer is charged in three conspiracy counts and is being held on $60,000 bond at the regional detention facility in Lynwood. Krasnowski says she faces up to four years in prison.
Bloch is scheduled to be arraigned in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, along with Stewart who faces 13 felony counts and is being held on $123,000 bail.
Among the instances cited in the complaint is the sale of a glass bottle of goat's milk and four containers of goat cheese, goat feta and cream at the Ojai Farmers Market in June 2010. Someone working at the booth retrieved the products from a cooler and gave them to an undercover investigator posing as a customer in exchange for $95 — $50 for CSA membership and $45 for the products.
Cynthia Korman, the market's manager, said Palmer and Healthy Family Farms were only allowed to sell chicken and eggs at their market booth.
"She has not been allowed to sell dairy," said Korman. "I didn't know she was doing it at all.
"That's not good for the market, and it reflects badly on the market if she's been doing something she shouldn't have been doing."
It's not the first time that Palmer has had a run-in with the authorities over her organic farming. In December 2008, she was arrested on suspicion of processing unpasteurized and regular milk products without licenses.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, raw milk from cows, sheep or goats that has not been pasteurized can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria, which are responsible for causing numerous foodborne illnesses.
Pasteurization, a process in which milk is heated to a specific temperature for a set period of time, kills the bacteria.
While it is not illegal to manufacture and sell unpasteurized dairy products in California, applicable licenses and permits are required along with regular veterinarian inspections of the animals and equipment and sanitation requirements.
Karen Schott, operations manager for Ventura County Certified Farmers Markets, said Healthy Family Farms used to sell chicken and eggs at the VC Certified Farmers Markets but hasn't been a vendor for several years.
"We never allowed her to sell milk," said Schott. "We were not satisfied with how her products were being handled. We could never get the proper documentation."
Agencies participating in the ongoing investigation include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Milk and Dairy Food Safety Branch and the department's Division of Measurement Standards; the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office; the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health; the Ventura County Sheriff's Department; and the Ventura County Department of Public Health.

Noelle Joy Klinker is a 12-12-12 baby, having been born yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. What's special about Noelle is that she actually took her first breath at 12:12.
To add even more mysticism to the equation, mother Colleen was in labor for 12 hours. Noelle is a perfectly healthy baby girl, weighing 9 pounds and one ounce (4.11 kg), and being measured at 21.5 inches (54.6 cm).
According to Fox News, she really is meant to bring joy to parents Colleen and Joe Klinker, who already lost a child. Their daughter Melody died at birth, one year ago, in October.
Earlier this week, I wrote about Kiam Moriya of Birmingham, Alabama. He was also born at 12:12, on December 12, and this year, he turned twelve.

Hoboken Looks for Solutions to Frequent Flooding
New York, NY —
It's hard to imagine with weather like today's that just a week ago the region was battered by record-setting rainfall and high winds. Some people are still cleaning up, or getting their power restored. In Hoboken, floods brought the city to a near standstill. Turns out, it happens a lot.
Marsalla Rivera is a motor-broom operator for the city of Hoboken in New Jersey. Her job is to clean up the mess after a storm. She operates a giant sweeper. It's a massive truck with countless buttons and steering wheels on both sides.
The brushes come out of the truck and start spinning as the machine sucks in water and garbage. She describes what Hoboken looked like after the storm.
"There was a lot of mud and umbrellas in the street, garbage, bottles, papers that the can-man couldn't pick up because it was stuck in the street with the mud and stuff, so the sweeper goes down and picks it up," she says. "Oh, the smell was horrible. It smelled like sewer water."
As bad as last weekend's storm was, the cleanup is nothing new for Riviera. Hoboken has a history of bad floods. Even the city officials say so: "This is on-going. This is historical," says Jennifer Maier, the director of Environmental Services in the city. "We really have a situation that we can't do much about unfortunately."
Nosheen's car on a flooded Hoboken street last week.
More on Nosheen's flood experiences here.
Like most cities in the Northeast, Hoboken has a combined sewer system. That means that both rainwater and sewer water are carried in the same pipes to a treatment plant. But the aging system can't absorb the water fast enough. So when it rains, the sewers get clogged and begin to spit out the combined overflow into the streets.
Philip Reeves is a project manager at the North Hudson Sewerage Authority which operates the wastewater treatment plant.
He points to a giant computer-printed map behind a glass marked in blue lines. He says it's a known fact that some places get hit exceptionally bad when it rains. There are four sites that he says are known to flood every time there is a rain storm.
But on the map near the Observer highway he points to something in the works that may be able to save Hoboken from excessive flooding: A new pumping station is coming online.
The storm-water pumping station will basically force the flow out of the city and into the river.
Reeves acknowledges one pump is not going to solve the issue, especially in heavy storms like the recent one.
Jennifer Maier, the environmental services director, says the city cannot afford an upgrade of the entire system so it's exploring cheaper plans that would get Al Gore's seal of approval.
"We will be implementing green, natural ways to try to improve the situation, and when whenever we do any new construction we make sure that it's constructed above the flood level," she says.
The green gardens should help absorb the rain and overflow and save the city money. But even Maier admits that the green spaces in no way will stop all the flooding in Hoboken.
For now, the residents and the clean-up crew may just have to hope for sunnier weather this spring.
