|BACKGROUND: Recently the HPV genome has been detected in 75-80% of uterine cervical squamous cell carcinomas. High-risk HPV 16,18,31,33, and 45 are frequently associated with invasive carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and nasal cavity. In this study we investigated the association of HPV16 and 18 in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) using PCR-based methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-eight fresh frozen tissues from HNSCC were collected. The samples were consisted of 26 cases from the larynx, 19 from the nasal and paranasal sinus, 16 the hypopharynx, 14 the oral cavity, 13 the oropharynx, and 10 from the nasopharynx. The presence of HPV genome was examined by PCR using HPV16 and 18 specific primers encoding E7 ORF. RESULTS: HPV16-DNA was detected in 23% of all cases (23/98), 31% (8/26) larynx, 16% (3/19) nasal and paranasal sinus, 19% (3/16) hypopharynx, 21% (3/14) oral cavity, 38% (5/13) oropharynx, and 10% (1/10) nasopharynx. HPV18-DNA was detected in 4% of all cases (4/98), 8% (2/26) larynx, and 15% (2/13) oropharynx. 54% (7/13) in oropharynx and 38% (10/26) in larynx showed rather high prevalence in the head and neck. CONCLUSIONS: HPV 16 and 18 play an important role in carcinogenesis of the head and neck, especially, in the oropharynx and larynx.

Daily Deals: Heyer, Box set, Beauty and the Beast, and a...
Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer. $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
A sparkling Regency romance from the queen of the genre
Beautiful Deborah Grantham, mistress of her aunt's elegant gaming house, must find a way to restore herself and her aunt to respectability, preferably without accepting either of two repugnant offers. One is from an older, very rich and rather corpulent lord whose reputation for licentious behavior disgusts her; the other from the young, puppyish scion of a noble family whose relatives are convinced she is a fortune hunter.
Max Ravenscar, uncle to her young suitor, comes to buy her off, an insult so scathing that it leads to a volley of passionate reprisals, escalating between them to a level of flair and fury that can only have one conclusion…
"Writers should get a clue from Heyer when it comes to writing heroines. Deb is fiery and witty without being a harpy, and utterly charming and sweet without being a coquette. She has an unfortunate tendency to get herself into scrapes, often with the help of her two doting friends, and embroils herself into the most embarrassing situations. Yes, Deb Grantham is one beleaguered woman. Not only does she have to deal with a very silly aunt, but also an army of young people confused about love and desiring her guidance. She also is in charge of paying the bills for her aunt's gaming-house, which leads to no end of stress. Fortunately, Deb has a great sense of humor, tempered with an overly-developed sense of pride. This pride is what gets her into the most trouble. Still, she is always kind and loyal to her friends, and her good nature always wins out in the end. I absolutely loved her."

A new tattoo is considered to be an open wound so naturally they require proper aftercare in order for them to heal correctly. Through each stage of the healing process the tattoo will need attention. Tattoos must be kept clean and exposed to least amount of germs as possible. The healing stages of a tattoo will be as unique as the individual who is experiencing it.
There are many key factors that will play a role in how your tattoo will heal. These factors include skin type, the location of the tattoo on the body, and believe it or not, the tattoo artist and the techniques that they used when performing the tattoo.
As soon as you tattoo is complete the artist will send you on your way with a bandage on your new tattoo. He will likely advise you to keep the bandage on for a few hours so that it does not get any outside exposure.
A brand new tattoo is similar to having minor surgeries so do not be surprised if your tattoo bleeds a little for the first 24 hours. This is normal and your bandage will help absorb any bleeding from your tattoo initially following your procedure. One thing to note is to be extremely careful when removing your bandage and to not let a large amount of blood dry on your bandage.
When it is time to remove the bandage from your tattoo, do so carefully. It is possible that blood has dried to the bandage and if you just rip it off, you could possibly jeopardize the appearance of your new tattoo.
The first healing stage of your new tattoo is experienced almost initially so expect that your tattoo is going to be sore, red, and possibly a bit swollen. You may also experience a slight stinging sensation that is similar to the feeling of sunburn. Tattoo artists will tell you that getting a tattoo feels like strong sunburn; the truth is that a healing tattoo will often feel like sunburn.
The tattoo healing process is similar to recovering from bad sunburn. It is quite common for a new tattoo to peel after a couple of days. Never peel the skin away yourself during any part of the healing process because it will likely pull the ink out of your tattoo leaving it discolored or uneven in appearance. You will also notice that your new tattoo feels tight, dry, and itchy. Keep applying your tattoo aftercare lotion to hydrate the tattoo and alleviate these symptoms. It is normal to see small flakes of colored skin flake away from your tattoo as your tattoo is healing.
During the healing process of your new tattoo these are the common healing stages: Week one, expect soreness and redness, and slight bleeding is common during the initial 24 hours following your procedure. Week two, expect the tattoo to flake or peel and your tattoo may become itchy. Week three, which is usually the final week of the healing process you can expect that scabbing and peeling had subsided although the area may still be a bit sensitive.

›› All-city golf: Coronado's Tulsai Gopalan caps season with 1-5A title
›› All-city golf coaches: Coaches put players in position to win
When talking about senior Tanner Gore, Coronado boys coach Robert Pounds said he was one of the best boys he's had in 10 years with the program.
Gore has emerged as one of the top boys golfers in the area the past few years and capped off his school career with a second consecutive District 1-5A championship this year. For his efforts, Gore is the El Paso Times' All-City Golf Boys Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.
"It was a good career," Gore said. "I had my peak junior year. Won most of my tournaments that I won in my high school career during that period. But to have another district title is pretty nice. I know that not many people have done that. That's really a humbling experience. It's been a great ride and I'm going to miss it a lot."
Gore average round was 75.28 this season, which was first in the city. He won the district title with a two-day score of 134, including a season-low 63 on Day 2 at Butterfield Trail Golf Course.
"The putts were rolling in is mostly what happened," Gore said about the second round of district. "I was just hitting greens, hitting fairways and making the putts. When the putts roll, you're going to shoot low. And that's pretty much what happened."
Gore also helped the Thunderbirds to a team district championship as well.
"He's worked his way up from the bottom," Pounds said. "He started traveling as a freshman. He didn't get in the top five, but it made it as a medalist. He kept getting better.
"He could play with any of the teams that I've had in the past. To me, that's a big compliment. He's one of our best."
Gore will continue his golf career at the University of Texas-Arlington next season.
"I'm pretty excited," Gore said about joining the Mavericks. "I think that if I work pretty hard, I can start on the traveling team at UT-Arlington. It's going to be a fun experience. I know that I'm going to enjoy it."

TV comedian behind 'Dumb Starbucks' in Los Angeles
Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder of the Comedy Central show "Nathan For You" comes forward as the brainchild of "Dumb Starbucks," a parody store that resembles a Starbucks with a green awning and mermaid logo, but with the word "Dumb" attached above the Starbucks sign.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a caffeine-charged Hollywood whodunit: Just whose bright idea was the "Dumb Starbucks" coffee shop that popped up and started serving free drinks from the corner of an otherwise uncelebrated strip mall?
After several days of speculation, the big reveal came Monday: The buzz-generating shop was a comedian's publicity stunt.
Keeping a straight face, Canadian comic Nathan Fielder told a crowd he was pursuing the "American dream" — before acknowledging that he planned to use the bit on his Comedy Central show "Nathan for You."
Soon after, Los Angeles County health inspectors shut it down for operating without a valid permit.
Earlier in the day, and for much of the weekend, a line from the store wound alongside the parking lot and up the block. Some patrons snapped pictures in front of a green awning and mermaid logo that is familiar — except that the word "Dumb" is prominently featured.
They weren't coming for gourmet fare: Their descriptions of the coffee ranged from "horrible" to "bitter," and one parent said his daughter complained that the hot chocolate was like water.
Instead, they were just coming to say they came, and to score a white paper cup with a sticker bearing the curious logo.
"It was a pretty dumb idea to come out in the cold" and wait for nearly two hours to get a coffee, joked Anthony Solis, who lives in nearby Hollywood.

Dumb Starbucks opened Friday, and the interest it generated grew over the weekend with a boost from posts on Twitter and Facebook.
Before the rush of the past few days, production crews came to the location several times to film, according to permits taken out with Film LA, a private nonprofit that issues the licenses. The permits were billed to Abso Lutely Productions, which has produced Fielder's show.
Once opened, Dumb Starbucks caught the attention of the real Starbucks.
"While we appreciate the humor, they cannot use our name, which is a protected trademark," Laurel Harper, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Starbucks Corp., said in an email.
She added that most trademark disputes are handled informally, suggesting the company might not need to take legal action.
At the front counter, a sheet of frequently asked questions said the store was shielded by "parody law."

text: Home > Medical > Arthritis > Managing Arthritis Pain Updated 16 September 2014 Cetylated fatty acids help joints There is a real need for alternative options that benefit patients with osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Cetylated fatty acids are proving to be beneficial. 0 Inflammation can shorten our life span considerably by promoting many degenerative diseases, especially in the elderly. A huge amount of research is currently underway, looking at drugs that can inhibit the inflammatory process and control pro-inflammatory immune cytokines like Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-1 (IL-1), bad prostaglandins and histamine, among others. Currently, there are various options of treatment of inflammation – aspirin, NSAIDs, vitamins, minerals or various supplements, which may only address the pain without restoring joint function and health. And with prescription pain-relievers increasingly linked to heart trouble, gastrointestinal side-effects and renal toxicity, joint problems have become more worrisome and difficult to treat. A real need for alternativesThere is a real need for alternative options that benefit patients with osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions. While there can be many causes of inflammation, the final common mediators of cellular inflammation and cellular invasion are always chemical. These chemotactic mediators include cytokines, leukotrines, as well as eicosanoids, and this production is greatly impacted by levels of essential fatty acids in the body. Recent studies, published in the Journal of Rheumatology and the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, have been conducted, using a complex of esterified (meaning they are stable and do not react with oxygen) fatty acids (EFAC), sometimes referred to as cetylated fatty acids (CFA). Researchers looked at the effect on mobility and joint function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The first studyA double blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at the University of Connecticut, tested 40 patients who applied either a topical CFA cream or placebo twice a day for 30 days. Researchers found that virtually every patient who used a topical CFA cream experienced significant improvements in knee range of motion, balance and strength as well as the ability to climb stairs, rise from a chair and walk. No difference was noted in the ability to extend the leg between the two groups. Improvements were observed within 30 minutes, with cumulative benefits occurring after 30 days. The second studyIn the capsule study, (double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centred study), researchers found that after 68 days, the 33 patients treated with CFA capsules exhibited greater improvement in knee range of motion and overall function than those who were treated with placebo. The treatment group again showed reduced pain and stiffness, improved balance and strength and better mobility. "CFA provided relief even for those individuals also receiving traditional medications. Our results suggest that CFAs are effective in improving the symptoms of osteoarthritis and therefore should be considered as a viable option for treatment of this condition," the researchers reported. No side-effects or negative reactions were reported in either study. Mechanisms explainedVarious fatty acids induce changes in cell membranes and the responsiveness of the membrane to certain immune factors. They also play a role in suppressing inflammatory cell functions, decreasing cartilage breakdown (which triggers cell death) and, like NSAIDs, reduce the inflammatory activities of the cox-2 enzyme. These anti-inflammatory functions are very important in preventing further tissue and joint damage while promoting healing. This explains some of the significant improvements in mobility and function. Research has shown that CFAs inhibit inflammation in endothelial cells and decrease the pro-inflammatory effects of AA and other fatty acids. It has also been shown to reduce the production of the negative immune factor IL-6 and to control the immune factors responsible for inflammation. Better mobility, less inflammationIn brief, CFAs restore mobility and reduce inflammation in joints. Whether ingested orally or applied topically, it enhances and lubricates cell membranes throughout the body, while restoring fluids that cushion bones and joints. In doing so, flexibility and mobility are enhanced, promoting optimal joint health. The enhanced cell fluidity and elasticity allows the body to move free of pain and with ease. Further benefits of CFAs include restoration of a wide range of joint health conditions, including sports injuries to joints, muscles, tendons and deep tissue. - (Source: Editorial for Medical Chronicle, September 2006 issue) From our sponsor Tips for treating joint degeneration Do you suffer from knee osteoarthritis?

Sometimes all you hear is people complain.I have always had a bright outlook on life because I thank God for each day I am able to pick my head up off the pillow, put my feet on the floor and go about my day. There are so many less fortunate out there who can not get themselves out of bed due to physical limitations or psychological issues. There are people who do not have a pillow to lie their head upon each night and then there are people who have no feet to use to get them from place to place

The Alamogordo Tigers fell to the Las Cruces Bulldogs (12-10, 3-2) at home on Friday night by the score of 73-61.
Alamogordo trailed 33-28 at the half. The Tigers struggled in the rebounding department all night. Las Cruces took advantage of the open shots to pull ahead by 10 points at 44-34. J.J. Johnson and Tyler Koehler hit a trio of three-pointers to cut the lead to five points.
Late in the fourth quarter the Tigers trailed 55-50. The Bulldogs went on a streak to pull ahead 67-54 to eventually capture the victory.
Koehler led the Tigers (16-7, 3-2) with 16 points while Andrew Yates and Jo Jo Jones chipped in with 11 points. Jones scored his points all in the first half. Malik Woods-Williams led the charge for Las Cruces with 21 points.
As a team Alamogordo shot 5 for 9 from the charity stripe. Koehler shot 3 for 4 from the free throw line.
In the District 3-5A race, Alamogordo falls into a three-way tie with Las Cruces High and Mayfield. Gadsden walked away with a 39-17 rout of Onate to take sole possession of first place.
"I thought Tyler did an exceptional job, I thought he played really hard and really took the basket really well," said Alamogordo head boys coach Mike Day, "Overall we just weren't in sync tonight, I think both defensively and offensively."
"When was the last time we gave up 73 points?"
The Tigers haven't given up 70 points since losing to Highland on the road 70-57 earlier last month.
Coach Day added, "Credit Las Cruces they played really well and they hit timely shots. They did all the things right. At the same time, we didn't do the things we needed to do. We need to go with our strengths, and that's getting the ball inside and we didn't do a good job of that."
Las Cruces High out hustled the Tigers all night, "I was really surprised we didn't instill some momentum from the Gadsden game. I really like our chances at halftime, I though we weathered the storm. We just never turned the tide," said Coach Day.
Three games remain on the Tigers schedule.
Alamogordo will travel to Onate Friday for a 7 p.m. tip-off.
LAS CRUCES >> The Las Cruces Lady Bulldogs (14-8, 4-1) defeated the Alamogordo Lady Tigers on the road Friday night by the count of 52-43.
Kristyn Archuleta led Alamogordo with 24 points and six rebounds. Twenty-three of her 24 points came within the second half. Monique Hernandez chipped in with 12 points while Lauren Guinn tallied 10 boards.
"We fell behind early and never got over the hump," said Alamogordo girls coach Fernando Sanchez.
The Lady Tigers will host Onate Friday at 7 p.m.

It's designed to easily access the thin 1/2" mounting nut on an acoustic guitar endpin jack, without marring the nut. The other end accesses a 14mm mounting nut on a flush-mount output jack, as found on many solidbody guitars. Because it's thin, the wrench helps avoid damage to the nut, the control cavity wall, and the often crowded circuitry nearby. It's the right tool for the job, and helps make output jack installation faster and easier. This product is made exclusively for Stewart-MacDonald by

It now appears that a suspicious device found behind a South Walton supermarket was part of some kind of hoax.
Around 3:00 yesterday afternoon someone found what looked like a pipe bomb in back of the Publix Supermarket on State Road 395 near the Watercolors Community.
It was strategically placed on the main water line next to the natural gas line.
Walton County sheriff's deputies sealed off the road in front of the store and then evacuated the building and surrounding businesses.
South Walton firefighters, ATF agents, homeland security and the state fire marshal's office joined deputies at the scene.
They sent in a bomb disposal robot three times. Finally, around 7:30 they determined there were no explosives.
The area was reopened to the public after five hours of being closed.
Authorities are still trying to find out who planted the device and why.

|Cutaneous adverse drug reactions reported in children: a national register-based study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22762709 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are the most common type of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported in the paediatric population, but they are rarely considered serious, despite that serious cases have been reported. Objective: To characterise CADRs reported to the Danish national ADR database from 1998 to 2007. Methods: We included reports submitted for children less than 18 years of age and extracted information about ADRs involving skin and subcutaneous disorders. ADRs were classified according to type, medications, seriousness, and age and gender of child. The unit of analysis was one ADR. Results: We analysed 2437 reports corresponding to 4500 ADRs, and 674 of these ADRs reported information about CADRs. One quarter (N = 174) of all CADRs were serious including two fatal cases. More than half of CADRs were reported in children less than two years of age, and there was an equal distribution of number of reports for the two genders. The majority of CADRs were reported for anti-infectives for systemic use (66% of total CADRs), followed by nervous system medications (16% of total CADRs) and dermatologic agents (10% of total CADRs). The largest number of reported CADRs was labelled with the term 'rash'. Serious cases such as erythema/erythema multiforme and urticaria were reported. Conclusions: One-fifth of all ADRs reported over a decade were cutaneous, and one-third of them serious. Prescribers should be aware of the risk of the occurrence of dermatological ADRs in children from medications for systemic use as well as dermatological agents.

NAVI PILLAY, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that she hoped that the Council would be able to take tangible action to stop the escalation of violence in Syria, which had become an intolerable affront to the human conscience. Ms. Pillay also expressed concern about ongoing violence in other regions of the world. In addition, the global financial crisis, which had not been borne by those who were primarily responsible for it, had increased inequalities and undermined the fabric of society.Regarding the work of non-governmental organizations, Ms. Pillay said that it was depressing to observe policy debates and legislative measures which severely undermined non-governmental organizations in many countries around the world. Civil society remained vital to advancing the human rights agenda both at the national level and internationally.
In this framework, The Delegation headed by Bertrand Thibert was representing CCLP Worldwide as accredited NGO, with Special Consultative Status to UN ECOSOC. The opening debate was the opportunity to several NGO to provide their own statements and points of view, about the general situation of Human Rights in the world, the particular situation in Syria or the specific topics of the afternoons : access to health and rights of the migrants.
Due to extra discussions on the Syria conflict, the CCLP Worldwide delegates were not in a situation to declaim their statement, which finally was delivered as a written statement to all present delegations.

Someone is taking revenge for Rosie Duff. He has to find out who it is before he becomes the next victim. And it might just save his life if he can uncover who really killed Rosie all those years ago.

For centuries Lakelanders have whispered that Fletcher Christian staged the massacre on Pitcairn so that he could return home. And there he told his story to an old friend and schoolmate, William Wordsworth, who turned it into a long narrative poem - a poem that remained hidden lest it expose Wordsworth to the gallows for harbouring a fugitive. Wordsworth specialist Jane Gresham, herself a native of the Lake District, feels compelled to discover once and for all whether the manuscript ever existed - and whether it still exists today. But as she pursues each new lead, death follows hard on her heels. Suddenly Jane is at the heart of a 200-year-old mystery that still has the power to put lives on the line. Against the dramatic backdrop of England's Lake District a drama of life and death plays out, its ultimate prize a bounty worth millions.

Joshua White
Type:performance artist
In 1967, Joshua White founded the Joshua Light Show, a group of artists who improvised with then-nascent multimedia technologies to create live projections in concert venues. From 1968 on, the JLS was the resident lightshow at the now legendary Fillmore East, setting the stage for musicians such as The Who, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Frank Zappa. After performing at Woodstock, White invented Joshua Television, using large screen video projection. Soon thereafter, he segued into a full-time television directing career. White reformed the Joshua Light Show in 2007 with a new team of artists.

July 31, 2012 – Council Meeting
July 31, 2012 – Council Meeting
Item # 21 Changing the title of the Sunshine Ordinance on the Ballot
Public Comment
Further changes are necessary to provide clarity to the voters. The Sunshine Ordinance need to be included in the description – it conforms to the petitions that were signed by the public.
The financial impact report that establishes the cost of the initiative has not been qualified and is from an old report and does not take into account the costs that are currently applied to conforming to the Open Government Ordinance. The cost should be defined as "uncertain".
Staff Recommendation
Including the word "sunshine" is a partial term and would be misleading as it infers that sunshine does not exist.
Councilmember Comment
Capitelli: This is similar to passing the Patriot Act which is not a patriot act at all. Also I think the cost is appropriate. I move to pass the language as presented by staff.
Maio: I have been studying this daily and I think this might cost even more than stated. It will take much more work to implement
Wozniak: There are levels are uncertainty and that says you know something. I would remind people that this proposed legislation applies to all 36 commissions and the rent board. When council adopted the Open Government Ordinance it took the elements that made sense from this ordinance and we should be commended for doing so.
Arreguin: I want to offer a friendly amendment that we strike rent stabilization board and add all elected or appointed commissions. I am not sure how I feel about this ordinance but I do agree with the challenge of the costs associated with the ordinance. I do believe that the word "uncertain" should be put in relating to the costs.
Maio: Why would you understate the number of groups to which these would apply? I want all the number of entities stated. It will make it very clear to the public the scope of this ordinance.
Vote and motion
Approve the language and add the number of commissions to define scope
No: Worthington, Arreguin
Yes: All others
Bates absent
Item # 22 Setting an Affordable Housing Mitigation Fee
Public comment
Adopt a fee as quickly as possible
$28,000 fee is recommended
Sierra Club: Most significant priority for Berkeley. Want a robust Affordable Housing Fee ASAP.
There are always ways to circumvent laws and developers will find a way around it.
Housing discrimination is the heart and soul of Berkeley.
Councilmember comments
Arreguin. Palmer decision was almost 4 years ago and we have still do not have an inclusionary housing component. Last year we stated that we would set an affordable housing fee and we have not even begun to set one. We need to move forward in setting a fee now. I can agree to a workshop for October but there must be an action item on the same night that will set a fee.
Worthington. The point has been made. Previously t he council stated they would never strike down an affordable having fee. All we are doing is setting a fee that has existed in Berkeley for years. We still have an affordable housing need. The fee should be at least $28,000 and with this fee we still do not get the same number of units we received under the inclusionary housing component. Let's just do it. Capitelli. I still think we need a package of fees. Did the HAC take any other fees into account? I am eager to get this out of the way. My amendment is to have the workshop and set a date to adopt a package of all fees by the end of December.
Maio. Is there any reason we cannot address all the fees in the next meeting after the workshop? Will all the projects under consideration need to comply with the fees if we delay? Will these projects possibly be approved prior to the setting of the fees? How are the developers then allocate the fee?
Arreguin. I think we need to move forward to get the affordable housing mitigation fee. That will then be a baseline for looking at the other fees.
Wozniak. I want us to move forward on these fees but I want to know the entire package. Can we compromise and get it done by the first of December? December 11?
Worthington. Tonight is symbolic of the past two years of addressing this issue. We are told to actuate affordable housing to chocolate fudge cake. There is no reason we could not have this fee in place by the next council meeting. These repeated delays are just so frustrating and more. There is no reason to delay until October or November. Packaging it with all these other things degrades the Affordable Housing Fee.
Wengraf. I would like the benefit of our planning director's opinion in looking at this thing. We can't pass this fee in a vacuum. We need to see how it relates to all the other fees and if we set it too high then we won't get any affordable housing. I think we can get this done by the end of the year.
Anderson. We have been through this for a long time. There have been intents to delay and a refusal to elevate the affordable housing needs of this community to a higher level. We have been at this for too many years now and now you want to delay it further to address the desires of the few to the detriment of the many. We know that the longer we delay the higher the cost of new housing escalates. This is ridiculous. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
Arreguin. This is a fee that affects all of Berkeley citywide so it is not us determined by the basket of fees for downtown. We are at a stage where we need to move forward on this. We have been delaying this since 2009. We need to move forward.
Capitelli. How many units were built since they fee disappeared that didn't get assessed the inclusionary housing fee? I will vote on a package of fees in December.
Maio. I am persuaded that the fee is citywide and yet it will be watered down by waiting to apply it to downtown. I now think I want to move forward with the affordable housing fee.
Wengraf. I think most of the larger projects in the pipeline are downtown.
Wozniak. Having a high fee or a low fee doesn't necessarily mean we are getting more funds. Perhaps a different fee could be set for areas other than Downtown. I am willing to say I will make a commitment in the fall but I want to see all the fees.
Arreguin. I do support a specific amount but will not give that tonight, but it is important that we do something tonight.
Motion and vote
Set work session in October with a resolution to vote up or down on adopting a housing mitigation fee that night.
Abstain. Wengraf, Wozniak
No. Capitelli
Yes. All others
Bates absent
Item #23 Open government Commission Recommendation for Procedure Modifications
Staff recommendation
Recommendations result from complaints that have been issued since last fall
1. 5 day window for supplemental reports of items already on the agenda
2. Highlight the "good of the city" requirement and how voting on it overrides the need of the public to see the document prior to rendering a decision.
3. The recommendations are only supplemented materials for items on the agenda. It would not apply to "gut and replace" changes – those would require public review.
Councilmember Comments
Wozniak. Are there standards that define "good of the city"? The agenda committee turns in their reports a week ahead of time and then those reports are revised at the last minute. Unless there are some standards in place "good of the city" can be abused.
Maio. If there is a 5 day window then there should be a good reason why the material is late.
Wengraf. Does this comply with the Sunshine Ordinance that is on the ballot?
Arreguin. Does this apply to an amendment to a motion or recommendation? How does this relate to the number of copies that are required? I think these are good changes to address some unintended consequences of the Open Government Ordinance.
Worthington. I want to see if staff is comfortable with the commission recommendation. Then I will move the commission recommendation
Unanimous approval. Bates absent
Item # 24 Single Use Bag Reduction
Zero waste Commission presentation
We want this very much and single bag use creates much waste. This is a two-phased project with it rolling out to large stores first and then to smaller stores.
Phase 1 ban will now roll out all over Alameda County in 2013. Staff states that we are not yet prepared to move to Phase 2 separately from the countywide effort.
Recommend Berkeley pursue an EIR to move to Phase Two immediately so Berkeley could roll out the Pause 2 ban sooner than the county.
Staff presentation
Stop Waste EIR applied to packaged food stores only. This will be reviewed over the first year but may not roll out for a few years. If Berkeley instituted their own Phase Two another 619 stores would be included along with the 90 stores that will start January 2013.
Councilmember Comments
Maio. So Zero Waste wants the RFP consultant to start. Does staff know what this would include?
Wozniak. I move the staff recommendation. When this originally came up we asked the county to look at this county-wide so everyone could benefit. There is a chance that the county will ban use in up to 99% of the stores. If we had more resourses we would like to do this all at once.
Wengraf. I am going to support Wozniak's recommendation.
Arreguin. I move that we support the Commission recommendation. The additional 619 stores would make a big difference. Berkeley should be a leader it this instead of waiting for the county to do it. We already have the county work that has been previously done. We could take the EIR and just wrap this into an existing contract. Obviously we will need to educate our businesses but it is not clear exactly how much staff time will be needed. I would like to start this work so we can move this forward.
Worthington. Can we add some language that will give us some flexibility so we could move forward more quickly as recommended by the Commission?
Wozniak. I don't see much difference between the commission and the staff recommendation.
Maio. Does any of the commission language need to be changed so address lack of staffing? We have limited staff resources that are already stretched. How do we amend this to modify the impact on the staff?
Arreguin. I think that after the EIR is complete then it needs to come back to Council for discussion along with the results.
Anderson. Many thanks to the staff and the Commission in getting this done
Vote and Motion
Support the Commission recommendation to do EIR and then return to council with results for a Phase 2 implementation.
Unanimous approval. Bates absent.

The ACLU gave the Chambersburg school board three days to rectify its apparent violation of the federal Equal Access Act of 1984, which guarantees equal treatment of all non-curricular student-led clubs.
Gosh. What a shock. Too bad no one saw this coming weeks ago.
The Chambersburg school board voted 5-4 on Feb. 27 to deny the formation of the Gay-Straight Alliance club, despite the presence of religious clubs that operate on public school grounds. That's relevant because the Reagan-era Equal Access Act arose due to lobbying by religious groups to allow Bible studies and other religious activities in public schools.
Relevant, and shockingly discriminatory.
This is how a modern school district operates? With callous disregard for oppressed and isolated young people and willful negligence when it comes to tax dollars?
Some on the school board claim that the GSA club's constitution conflicts with district policy that says administration must choose faculty club advisers.
But easily avoided technicalities and obtuse equivalencies do not win lawsuits. Even if you care nothing for the human side of this story, a defense against an ACLU lawsuit will be expensive.
We cannot more strongly urge that the school district do what it must this week to make this right. And that boils down, according to federal law, to either allowing the GSA to form or banning all extra-curricular clubs at Chambersburg Area Senior High School.
That's pretty much it. Couldn't be more simple. So what's it going to be, Stanley Helman, Fred Rice, Joe Tosten, Carl Barton and Norm Blowers?
Finally, whatever happens after this week, we hope district voters consider the likelihood that those board members will engage in needless, wasteful and discriminatory fights in the future, and do something about it.

Der Rev. Graham: What happens when we die? Do we go immediately to heaven, or do we have to wait until the end of time (or something like that) before God finally lets us go there? -- Mrs. S.P.
Rev. Graham: God isn't reluctant to take us to heaven, and my own study of the Bible has convinced me that when we die we will enter immediately into his presence. The Apostle Paul declared, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8).

A community is mourning the loss of a young man who lived fast and died doing what he loved.
Connor LaFrance, a 14-year-old student at the Maple Avenue Middle School and a nationally ranked motocross racer, died Sept. 21 from injuries sustained in an Alabama motorcycle accident. LaFrance was a national class dirt bike racer and was practice-driving in Barber Motorsports Park at 11:15 a.m. when his motorcycle went out of control. He was airlifted to a hospital and pronounced dead at 5:37 p.m.
LaFrance's parents joined Saratoga Springs School officials Monday, Sept. 24 to remember his life.
He wasn't happy unless he was going 100 miles-per-hour, said his mother, Andrea LaFrance.
Connor began riding motorcycles at age 5, said his father, Dave LaFrance. Dave, a motorcycle racer himself, said he didn't let Connor compete until last year.
"I wanted to make sure he wanted to race for himself, and not for me," he said.
Connor's parents reflected on his time spent racing, saying it was all he wanted to do since he was young. Dave LaFrance said he found a scrap of paper from when Connor was in the first grade. On it was written: "I want to be the best motocross racer in the world. I want to be the fastest."
Dave LaFrance said there was some consolation in knowing that his son perished doing what he loved.
"It's a dangerous sport," he said. "But I really believe that when it's God's time to take you, He's going to take you."
William Boehmke, Maple Avenue Middle School's student advocate, said about 100 students were gathered in the school's library Monday morning, waiting to see counselors to cope with the loss of their fellow student and friend.
"There is always a balance between letting the kids support each other and having them stir themselves up," he said of the gathering.
Many students are wearing buttons, shirts and other articles of clothing with remembrances of Connor on them, said Boehmke, and large pieces of paper have been posted throughout Saratoga Springs' schools for students to write their memories of Connor and their condolences to his family.
"This really affects the whole community," said Boehmke.
Calling hours will be from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Presbyterian New England Congregational Church at 24 Circular St. in Saratoga Springs. Services will be 2 p.m. Thursday at Bethesda Episcopal Church, 41 Washington St. Saratoga Springs.

'Block-holds' can cause you big headaches when you pay at the pump
Update: Chevron has supplied KATU News with a written statement on its policies related to block-holds.
MCMINNVILLE, Ore. - When Mike and Roger Hunter left their McMinnville home recently to ride to Beaverton's Tanasbourne Mall, they decided to gas up first at a Chevron in McMinnville.
When they got back, they went to pick up a keg of beer at the local bar.
"She ran it (debit credit) and it first came back denied," Roger Hunter said. "It's like 'what's going on here?' There should be a whole bunch of money in that thing."
Roger and Mike checked their accounts.
Mike Hunter remembers, "It shows our checking account, our savings account and everything and he went 'OMG! We just got hacked!' You know, 'cause that's what it looked like."
"We were at like $400," says Roger Hunter, "and I got back here and I sat back in this chair over here. It dropped to $23."
Roger and Mike Hunter's account manager told them Chevron had put what's called a 'block-hold' on their debit card.
"They said 'oh, that's a fee they put on there," Roger Hunter said. "They want to make sure they get their money. I said 'this has never happened before.' In fact, this last weekend we went and got $40 worth - no extra fee."
If that hold is on a credit card it's usually no big deal because it goes away within a day.
But that one-day amount on your debit card can wreak havoc on your checking account.
And as gas prices rise, credit experts say, block-holds are more common.
"Right now we're seeing block-holds that, you know, tend to be in the neighborhood of $70 to $100 depending on the merchant," says Bruce McClary of ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions. "But these block-holds might increase to $150, even $200. It just depends on how high gas prices go and what these merchants feel is reasonable."
Braden Reddall, with Chevron's policy, government and affairs department, sent KATU the following statement:
"When customers buy fuel at the pump, oil companies ask the customers' banks for pre-authorizations. Chevron uses $126 to allow customers to fill up completely. After customers finish pumping, the transactions post immediately, and the banks should remove any holds they placed within seconds. The problem that the customers in KATU's August 14 story had was the result of an error by their bank, not Chevron or the independent McMinville retailer, and Chevron encourages them and any others with this issue to contact their banks."
Roger and Mike Hunter believe consumers at least deserve a warning.
"A little sign at the pump saying, you know, potential debit block or something," Mike Hunter
Experts say to avoid a gas station block-hold on your debit card, don't pay at the pump.
That's essentially an open account until the debit charge goes through, so the service station has to protect itself against the possibility of a large, uncovered charge.
Instead, pay the full, final total inside at the register. In those cases, there's no need for the service station to put a block-hold on the card because you've already paid the total bill.

Kristen Stewart is said to be "heartbroken" as Robert Pattinson has said that he wants to keep custody of their rescue dog Bear and now the actress is said to be seeking 'joint custody'.
Kristen, 22, was pictured enjoying an affair with married father-of-two Rupert Sanders and has since released a statement admitting her guilt, and it's thought that her relationship with her 'Twilight' co-star Rob has now come to an end.
Even though the couple don't have any children together, their dog Bear is at the centre of what could be a 'bitter' custody battle.
It's thought that Kristen won't be giving up the pup too easily especially after she nursed him back to full health after a near-fatal battle with the disease Parvo.
The cute mix-breed has also been seen alongside her in different locations for work.
Bear with Kristen in New York last year (Splash News)
"After Rob moved his things out of their Los Angeles apartment, he then told Kristen he wanted Bear. She was heartbroken - they adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby," the insider told the site.
"But Rob was so hurt by Kristen's actions he decided that he wants the dog to help him get over what happened. After all, a dog is a man's best friend and Bear is such a good companion."
The continued: "However, Kristen won't give up Bear in a hurry. She helped Rob save Bear from Parvo disease, which nearly took its life when it was a puppy. She wants joint custody - and it could get a little messy."
"Robert and Kristen were looking into the possibility of adopting another dog. They were desperate for a play pal for Bear.... But it seems that's out of the question now," the added.
It looks as if it gets worse in the Robsten saga...
Kristen Stewart, Rupert Sanders promote 'SWATH'...

To "Come On Now":
You're absolutely right. Can you send us some sick goals from indoor?

also take a look at some of the Jr.A action and Sr.A action. you might be surprised
what was so uncharacteristic to the ending ? elaborate please LPG
Its uncharacteristic because no one got hurt. Thre 'bows and then walked away like nothing happened. We don't see that often I guess.
