It doesn't matter if the World Trade Center was bombed, if there's a Mexican Independence Day parade, or if the INS is crashing down doors while arresting illegal immigrants in Orange County—the 18-year-old Santa Ana-based Spanish-language weekly always has a color photograph of a bikini-clad woman on the front page. Only problem? They're never pretty. 517 N. Bristol St., Santa Ana, (714) 547-8283.USED BOOKS PEDDLED BY OLD CIVIC-MINDED REPUBLICANS
Remember when Newport Beach hired a Black lady to teach history to high schoolers? The LA Times wrote an article about it, and readers wrote in to object to her suggestion that her own ethnicity might influence her perspective on, say, racism or slavery, like, well, conservative white people might teach history to reflect—well, you know. Sure, Newport is 93 percent white and 92 percent Republican, and they don't like airport noise, but, friends, they've got the best darn public library around, a tribute to the good life and the wisdom of the city's accounting office. After the rest of the county went bankrupt and its own library system reduced hours and services, Newport Beach kept right on building its swell new facility on Avocado Avenue, buying great books and CDs and videos (and now DVDs), offering speakers and kids programs, and pretty much creating the coolest literary hangout absent an espresso machine this side of the Gypsy Den. But with wealth and leisure and lots of old fogies wearing sailor hats comes (gasp) volunteerism. The kindly staff of the Friends of the Library stands up, slowly, to answer the call. Friends receive donations and host frequent used-book sales and run a little used-book store staffed by their crew of gentle-spirited and elegantly inefficient volunteers, each completely unfamiliar to a woman or man with their actual stock. With not a whole lot to do except offer you a free plastic bag, the place turns into a jolly, friendly visit to your grandparents' house, assuming your grandparents live in a quality used-book store. The books are priced to sell, and since nice, old rich people in Newport Beach like to read, or at least buy books, there's lots of good stuff. 1000 Avocado Ave., Newport Beach, (949) 717-3800.INSULT TO PUBLIC EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS
It's hard to imagine the faculty and staff at Irvine Valley College enduring more, not after the coronation by their South Orange County Community College District board of a scheming toady of a physics teacher—first as college president and now chancellor. Not after having a Holocaust denier on that same board, or hiring as chief of human resources a former board ally who finessed them into hiring her. Hard to imagine if you don't know that the community effort to recall the Nazi failed not once, but twice. Meanwhile, 32 faculty members at the little college in the orange grove (oops, they cut down the orange trees, too—is there no end to this indignity?) wrote a polite letter recently asking administration to please clean, maintain and stock the restrooms. Each received for their efforts a memo and, yes, a single roll of toilet tissue, presumably to sustain them for the semester. Two-ply. Quality stuff.JESÚS "EL PELOS" OLVERA
Right-on writer for Spanish alternative weekly rag Al Borde. Lead singer for El Chivo Expiatorio, a Tenacious D-meets-humor trio combining the worst tendencies of rock urbano with ska's wacka-wacka essence to create tunes better than anything to come out of the Spanish language since Carlos Chávez. Promoter for local rock en español showcases that seem to switch locations every month because venue managers can't stand young Latinos moshing with love. Fullerton resident. Forget The Orange County Register's new Latin entertainment guy—"El Pelos" is the man who knows what makes the county's Latino youth tick.SHERMAN LIBRARY AND GARDENS
A self-described "horticultural retreat," Sherman Library and Gardens links a museum of living plants, gardens, patios, conservatories, a tea room and more, all set around wide brick walkways and trickling fountains. They host classes for the community, too, covering such scintillating topics as "Bulbs to Know and Grow" and "Natural Pest Control." The library and garden were started in 1955, the year the Brooklyn Dodgers won the World Series. Coincidence? Who can say? But there is no disputing the place is a memorial to M.H. Sherman, started by his heirs who wanted to honor him with something beautiful. Which explains why the memorial is in Corona del Mar and not Bullhead City. Though, to be fair to Bullhead City, you'll probably find more women there willing to flash their breasts than at Sherman Library. Unless it's tulip time—then all bets are off. 2647 E. Pacific Coast Hwy., Corona del Mar, (949) 673-2261.KOCE
Funny how God works: KOCE-TV is on the auction block the same year Orange County's sole public television station finally achieves fame for something other than Barney reruns. In August, the KOCE-produced documentary Méndez vs. Westminster: For All the Children/ Para Todos los Niños won a local Emmy for its stirring retelling of the 1948 Orange County case that served as the country's first blow against public school segregation. Nevertheless, the Coast Community College District has put the station up for sale, threatening to sell it to the highest bidder. And the highest bidder is—praise Jesus!—Daystar Communications, who proudly discriminates by only hiring born-again Christians. We'd comment on the ironic situation of a discriminatory employer buying a station who produced a documentary decrying discrimination . . . but it's simply too sad.(RE)BOOT HILL

One of the hallmarks of auditory processing disorder (APD) is difficulty listening in background noise. This difficulty maybe related to the function of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system, which is hypothesized to provide an anti-masking effect that might aid in speech processing in noise. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the efferent anti-masking hypothesis via efferent-induced changes in the baseline levels of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in a group of subjects suspected of having APD with speech-in-noise deficits matched for age and gender with a control group with less speech-in-noise deficits. There was no significant difference in audiometric thresholds between the groups. We examined not only the typical composite DPOAE, but also the two major components (overlap and reflection components), which determine the overall DPOAE level. We hypothesized that the group with speech-in-noise deficits would show reduced efferent effects relative to the control group. The findings did not support the efferent anti-masking hypothesis as efferent-induced changes in the composite DPOAE signal and the overlap component did not differ significantly between the two groups, but the statistical power was low. The separation of the two DPOAE components was beneficial in detecting efferent effects at the high frequency region where the DPOAE levels were lowest, and efferent effects were variable. The mean baseline levels and SNR of composite DPOAE and the overlap component were lower in the group with speech-in-noise deficits than the control group. This difference was not significant, but the statistical power was low. In addition, no significant correlations were found between performance on speech-in-noise tests and DPOAE change due to efferent activation across groups. Factors that might explain why the efferent anti-masking hypothesis was not supported are discussed.
The present study was designed to examine how adults, children with typical language development (TLD), and children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) process words from sparse and dense phonological neighborhoods, using the Cross Modal Picture-Word Interference Paradigm. The participants were asked to label a picture presented on a computer screen, while ignoring auditory distractors (interfering words or IWs) presented over headphones. The target items were manipulated according to neighborhood density (high and low density words), and the auditory distractors were either identical to the target, a neutral distractor (good), phonologically related (by rhyme), or unrelated to the target item. The interfering words were presented either before the target item ( -750, -450, or -150 ms ) before the picture, or after the picture ( +150 ms ). Participants were asked to name the pictures as quickly as possible, while ignoring the auditory distractors. Reaction times and error rates were measured. Eleven children with SLI (6;5-10;1), ten children with typical language development (6;10-10;2), and 22 young adults participated in the study. The results revealed that adults demonstrated increased sensitivity to rhyme-related distractors in the Low Density condition only, reflecting less detailed phonological representations of low density words. Children with TLD and SLI both demonstrated less interference of related IWs in both the high and low density conditions. There were no significant group differences in reaction time or overall error rates. However, the SLI group produced significantly more errors on low density words than the TLD group. In addition, children with SLI demonstrated similar response time differences for the related and unrelated items for both density types, while the children with TLD appeared to benefit more from the related distractors in the low density condition. The results are discussed in relation to the Lexical Restructuring Model (Metsala & Walley, 1998).
Lexical organization in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is not fully understood. This study investigated the nature of word association in individuals with ASD using two experimental paradigms: a word association task (Experiment 1), followed by an individualized semantic priming task (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, participants were asked to name as many semantically related words as possible when auditorily presented with a target (e.g., participants heard the word cat and were asked to name semantically related words, within 60 seconds). In Experiment 2, participants were asked to name a target picture, preceded in time by 50 ms. Four types of auditory primes were used: Associated (e.g., bird-nest), Individual Semantic (e.g., bird-(tree)), Identity (e.g., bird-bird), and Unrelated (e.g., bird-car). The primes in the Individual Semantic condition were semantic associates obtained from responses in Experiment 1. Participants were 15 individuals with ASD (aged 14;0 to 19;2), 16 with typical language development matched for chronological age (CAM) (aged 15;0 to 19;7), and 14 with typical language development matched for raw score (VM) on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test 4th ed (aged 8;1 to 13;4) (Dunn & Dunn, 2007). In Experiment 1, while individuals with ASD produced many appropriate word associations, they also produced more unrelated word associations than both control groups. In Experiment 2, participants' reaction times revealed that individuals with ASD performed similarly to both control groups in all conditions: they exhibited priming in the Identity condition, but not in the Associated and Individual Semantic conditions. Absence of group x condition interaction in the Associated condition calls method into question. Results from Experiment 1 suggest that individuals with ASD have a similarly organized lexicon (i.e., more associated than unrelated responses to a given target), but the breadth and depth of their lexicons may be immature (i.e., higher proportion of unrelated responses, relative to both control groups). Findings have clinical and educational implications for vocabulary instruction in individuals with ASD. Word associations may first appear to be typical. However, in-depth analyses (i.e., monitoring associated, perseveration, proper noun, phrase, or unrelated responses), provides robust information regarding lexical organization.
The present study examined the perception of Mandarin disyllabic tones by inexperienced American English speakers. Participants heard two naturally-produced Mandarin disyllables, and indicated if the two were the same or different. A small native Mandarin-speaking control group participated as well. All 21 possible Mandarin contrasts where the initial syllable varied but the final syllable stayed the same were tested. Acoustic analysis was performed on the stimuli under study. Mandarin subjects scored at ceiling on all contrasts. American English subjects performed poorly on contrasts where the difference in mean F0 was small, or where the difference in the offset F0 of the first syllable was small. They also performed poorly when the difference in slope of the final syllable was small. Previous research has proposed that American English listeners attend primarily to the height difference between two tone stimuli, but here they attended to height in the first syllable and contour in the second syllable.
The present study examined the effects of speaking mode (clear, habitual, slow speech) on speech production and speech perception of individuals with and without Parkinson's disease. In the speech production task there were 21 speakers who read the Farm passage in habitual,clear and slow speech modes. Acoustic analysis involving the assessment of the first and second formant frequencies was performed using vowel space areas, vowel dispersions, /i-a/ distances for both tense and lax vowels produced in each of the speaking conditions. Duration ratios of both the tense and lax vowels were also examined in each condition. Effects of the conditions on perception were investigated in two listening tasks. In the first task, 3 listeners heard a subset of speakers from the production portion. In a forced choice task the listeners then selected the vowel they preferred in a given speaking condition. In the second listening task, 10 listeners used a 7-point Likert rating scale to rate 4 sentences produced in each of the 3 conditions for the 21 speakers. Production results showed that vowel space areas were larger in the clear and slow conditions compared to habitual, with no statistically significant difference between clear and slow. Results from the first listening task showed a preference for vowels in clear speech mode, and the second showed that speakers were rated most intelligible in clear speech mode.
A high percentage of individuals with dyslexia struggle to learn unfamiliar spoken words, creating a significant obstacle to foreign language learning after early childhood. The origin of spoken-word learning difficulties in this population, generally thought to be related to the underlying literacy deficit, is not well defined (e.g., Di Betta & Romani, 2006; Jakoby, 2010, 2011). Although it is widely accepted that dyslexia is characterized by a core deficit in phonological processing, considerable debate remains regarding the etiology of this deficit and how it hinders reading and writing development. This study investigates two prominent hypotheses about why people with dyslexia struggle with learning to read and write and examines how these may explain spoken-word learning difficulties. These hypotheses are the phonological representations hypothesis that proposes poorly specified phonological representations can largely account for the literacy difficulties experienced by people with dyslexia, and the perceptual anchoring deficit hypothesis that suggests these challenges stem from a reduced ability to implicitly benefit from repetitions of phonological information. Thirty-nine individuals, 16 with and 23 without dyslexia were given novel spoken words paired with pictures of novel objects in a story format. The relative contribution of the participants' phonological knowledge (sublexical and lexical representations) and perceptual anchoring (the ability to benefit from stimulus-specific repetitions) to this novel word-learning task was measured by two aspects of a production task. The independent variables of the phonological properties of the word forms and the effects of repetitions over test time informed us about phonological knowledge and perceptual anchoring respectively. The participants' novel word productions in a picture-naming task served as the dependent variable. By measuring the participants' progress in learning words, we quantified the potential benefit provided both by the speech-sound characteristics and by repetitions of the novel words over test time. The results suggested that deficits in phonological knowledge and perceptual anchoring make independent contributions to novel spoken-word learning and that a combination of deficits in the two areas contribute to word-learning difficulties in learners with dyslexia. The single best predictor for both groups was a task of phonological awareness, phoneme reversal. Apart from this task, a measure of verbal recall of real words appeared to be a better predictor for typical learners whereas a measure of spelling had greater predictor value for the learners with dyslexia. Spoken-word learning as a dynamic interaction of implicit and explicit memory processes is presented and discussed.
A COMPARISON OF CONTINUOUS VERSUS SEGMENTED SPEECH PRODUCTION IN TEACHING DECODING AND SPELLING TO CHILDREN AT RISK FOR READING DIFFICULTY by Catherine M. Constable Advisors: Professors Linnea Ehri, Helen Cairns, Joel Stark The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of two approaches to phonics code-focused instruction upon the acquisition of early decoding and spelling skills in children at risk for learning to read. One program involved continuous speech production and analysis. The other program involved segmented speech production and analysis. The traditional approach to decoding instruction has been to teach children to recite the separate sounds of letters before blending them. However segmented speech creates a problem when stop consonants are produced separately in isolation (e.g. /k / - /æ/ - /t/) and then must be blended. The new continuous approach avoids this problem by teaching children to maintain a continuous stream of speech, thus precluding the need to teach blending. Five and six year-old kindergarten children who had risk factors for difficulty learning to read were assigned randomly to one of three training groups, the continuous production group, the segmented production group or an emergent literacy narrative-based control condition. Results showed that children receiving continuous speech production training outperformed children receiving segmented speech production training on several outcome measures, and that both groups outperformed the control treatment group. The continuous group showed superior phonological elision, word and non-word decoding and non-word repetition compared to the segmentation group. Both groups gained equally in spelling words and non-words. Findings are important for their potential in identifying a more effective method of teaching phonics to struggling young readers.
Change of first language (L1) status from the most stable language to a less accessible language over the life-span of a bilingual individual is termed `language attrition'. Such a shift in ease of L1 access has been reported to affect the lexicon (Pelc, 2001) more than other aspects of language. However, whether L1 attrition is affected by reduced L1-strength or increased second language (L2) interference is unresolved. This study was designed to understand the relative contributions of L1-strength (Ebbinghaus, 1885; Paradis, 2001, 2007) and L2-interference (Loftus & Loftus, 1980; Gürel, 2004) towards L1 attrition in L2-dominant bilingual individuals, and how attrition is affected by language use and proficiency. We used a cross-modal (picture-auditory word) and cross-linguistic (Bengali-English) lexical priming paradigm in order to test the nature of L1-L2 interaction in 27 Bengali-English-speaking individuals. Participants were divided into two groups (L1-dominant and L2-dominant) varying in relative L1-L2- proficiency. Familiarity ratings for English words and their translation equivalents permitted generating four word-pair categories: HighEnglish-HighBengali, LowEnglish-LowBengali, HighEnglish-LowBengali and LowEnglish-HighBengali. Reaction time (RT) and Event related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to a syllable-judgment task for the auditory word. Participants also rated themselves on language and reported language use. We hypothesized that if reduced L1-strength affected L1 attrition, Bengali words from all four word-pair categories would elicit longer RTs and larger negative ERPs than English words. In contrast, if L2-interference affected L1 attrition, all Bengali words except ones from the LowEnglish-HighBengali category would elicit longer RTs and larger negative ERPs compared to their English translations. Results showed participants' L1-use and L2 self-ratings predicted performance in L1. Behavioral data showed longer RTs for Bengali than English in the HighBengali-HighEnglish category and longest RTs for English in the LowEnglish-HighBengali category. ERP data showed greater negativities to English and Bengali words from the category with low familiarity English ratings regardless of their Bengali ratings. Different results from the two measures of the lexical task suggest that each task reflects a different point in the process of lexical access. Overall, findings suggested that L2-interference into L1 plays a larger role in L1 attrition in L2-dominant individuals.
This study explored the role of attention in the development of tone and vowel perception skills in infants through the use of auditory and visual associative learning and the functional nature of Mismatch Responses (MMRs) in infants. Two different infant MMR responses have been observed to speech sound changes, one positive and the other negative in polarity. Current evidence suggests that the negative MMR is the precursor of the adult MMN, whereas the positive MMR may index recovery from refractoriness or an orienting response. Event Related Potentials (ERPs) were collected to tones (1000Hz vs. 1200 Hz) and Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) words ([bIp] vs. [bεp]) in two different conditions designed to focus attention differently. In the contingent condition, a picture of a smiling woman's face always followed occasional deviant auditory stimuli. In the non-contingent condition, the women's face followed 100% of the time in the tone experiment and the women's face randomly followed the standard [bεp] on half the occasions, and the deviant [bIp] on the other half in the speech experiment. A statistically significant difference was not found between the contingent and non-contingent task in the tone experiment. Both conditions elicited a more negative deviant waveform than the standard waveform at frontal sites. Negative MMRs peaked around 200 ms when attention was focused to the change in the contingent condition for the speech experiment. A significant difference was seen in the amplitude of the MMR to the deviant in the contingent vs. non-contingent conditions (F (20, 180) = 2.67, p = 0.001). The difference was greatest at left frontocentral sites. The elicitation of the negative MMR (the assumed precursor of the adult MMN) to this fine-grained phonetic difference appears to require attention in the first year of life. This is most likely because robust representations have not yet been constructed to allow for automatic and preattentive discrimination.
Our everyday verbal interaction does not always happen in the communication conditions optimal for the speaker or the listener. In order to increase intelligibility and to overcome interference of the communication medium, speakers may switch from a conversational rate of speaking to "clear" speech mode. In other situations, when fully phonated speech is not appropriate, speakers may deliberately depart from the optimal listening conditions to adopt yet another speaking mode --- whispered speech. Despite acoustic differences between phonated and whispered speech, intelligibility of whispered speech remains relatively accurate. In perception of whispered consonants, the characteristic that is most susceptible to the absence of phonation is "voicing". At the same time, listeners identify "voicing" in whispered consonants far above chance. We hypothesized that perceptual discernment of whispered consonant "voicing" may be rooted in the maintenance and potential enhancement of time-based parameters that are known to contribute to consonant voicing: vowel duration, consonant duration and combined consonant-to-vowel duration-ratio. Acoustic parameters were compared between phonated and whispered conversational speech, and conversational and clear whispered speech. The results indicated that all time-based acoustic cues to "voicing" were maintained in whispered speech. In perception tests, overall consonant identification accuracy in conversational whispered speech was about 85% with errors on place or manner of articulation not exceeding 1%. The improvement in perception of clear whispered speech varied across speakers from -2% ... to 8%. The perceptual advantage afforded by two speakers was generally in the agreement with the predictions made on the basis of the production data. Logistic regression analysis indicated that after controlling for variability in speakers, consonant-pairs and vowels, consonant "voicedness" in both phonated and whispered speech could be accurately predicted by a single parameter --- C/V duration-ratio. At the same time, correlation analysis between the magnitude of C/V duration-ratio contrast and consonant "voicing" intelligibility suggested that listeners did not fully utilize the distinctive information provided by the C/V duration-ratio. This study contributes to knowledge of factors responsible for intelligibility of whispered speech which may be valuable in designing speech processing algorithms for hearing-assistive devices and developing synthesis systems for speech reconstruction in voice-impaired patients.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Packers' top needs: Defense, defense and defense
Gary Horton of Scouts Inc. thinks what many others do about the Packers' biggest need – another pass rusher in the form of outside linebacker.
Horton said the top three need areas are all on defense. The other two are cornerback and safety.
"Poor coverage skills, missed assignments and a lack of a pass rush contributed to the Packers allowing the most passing yards in NFL history, and the great Charles Woodson is near the end of his career," Horton said in his ESPN Insider blog. "Bringing in a cornerback to push Tramon Williams and Sam Shields for playing time may be the best solution for Dom Capers' defense."
Horton considered the loss of safety Nick Collins "the biggest blow the Packers took all season."

Brian McElhaney's 2008 NYU Thesis Film, based on a script he and Nick Kocher wrote that garnered no support or money from any of the faculty, and nearly got him thrown out of class.
Filmed over an INTENSE 48 hours on the budget of about $11, "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses" went on to become an official selection at the 2010 SlamDance and SXSW Film Festivals.
"Fantastico! Freed from the 90 second constraints of the interwebs, Britanick made one of the best short movies I've seen in some time. High production value, good writing, good acting, action, drama, romance, plot twists and gratuitous violence."
-Jeff Kreisler(IFC.com)
"McElhaney's talents behind the camera are evident in his short film starring Kocher, called "Eagles are Turning People Into Horses"
-Nina Metz(Chicago Tribune)
"A bizarre and wonderful anti-romance comedy about eagles that turn people into horses. Yep, its as weird as it sounds yet more satisfying then you can imagine."

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A lever of length 3L can rotate freely around a horizontal axis O. The end of each arm "2L" and "L" of the lever has one mass : "4m" and "9m" , respectively. Find the velocity of mass "9m" at the bottom. Consider that the lever was initially at rest in the horizontal position. 2. Relevant equations The problem is in a chapter of work and energy, before the conceps of torque and moment of inercia, so i guess that only energy and work can solve this. But any solution/hint with any method will be welcome. 3. The attempt at a solution I'm trying to apply conservation of energy, but i'm confused if the whole system is conservating energy or only part of it. I really need a hint of how start this problem or if possible a solution of it. Thanks in advance!

$21.5M Settlement to Fund N.J. Superfund Cleanups
In New Jersey, a Montgomery Township technology company will pay $21.5 million to clean up two Superfund sites under a settlement reached Wednesday with state and federal environmental officials.
Princeton Gamma-Tech, which designs and manufactures high-technology systems for X-ray micro- and image analysis, settled a pollution lawsuit with the EPA, the U.S. Justice Department, and the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The funds will be used to clean up contaminated land and water at the Montgomery Township Housing Development, and the Rocky Hill Municipal Well federal Superfund sites.
New Jersey will receive $7.3 million under the settlement involving Gamma-Tech's plant in Montgomery. Of that amount, $6.2 million will reimburse the state's costs for cleanup activities at the two sites, including construction of a groundwater extraction and treatment facility.
The remaining $1.1 million will pay for compensation for environmental damage done at the sites, primarily contamination of groundwater with trichloroethylene.
EPA will receive $14.2 million under the settlement. The agency will seal private wells within the contaminated area, as well as start work on a groundwater treatment plant at the sites.

Clean Energy Act excites supervisors
At today's Rules Committee, Supervisors Bevan Dufty, Tom Ammiano, and Chris Daly, all expressed enthusiasm for San Francisco's Clean Energy Act. Daly and Ammiano even broke into chants of "victory, victory" during discussion of approving the measure for November's ballot.
"In 2002 I supported Prop D and I look forward to supporting this measure," said Dufty during his comments on this new public power ballot initiative. "I think PG&E has not held the public trust in San Francisco well," he added, citing the smear campaign PG&E launched against Mark Leno during his bid for State Senate.
The measure, known as the "San Francisco Clean Energy Act," would amend the city charter to require that, within 120 days of passing the legislation, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission must "produce a comprehensive plan for providing clean, secure, cost effective electricity for city departments and residents and businesses." This may include construction city-owned transmission lines, as well as procuring the resources to advance the Community Choice Aggregation plan of 51 percent renewables by 2017.
It actually goes one step farther and says if CCA falls through, the city must still get 51 percent of their energy from renewable and clean sources, 75 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2040. A green jobs workforce development must also be part of the plan, and if it's determined that public ownership of the grid and resources is the way to go, any employees fired by PG&E, the private company that provides our power now, will be hired by the PUC.
Sup. Ross MIrkarimi, who introduced the measure, rattled off figures from Alameda, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, and Sacramento, all of whom have publicly-owned utilities and all of whom charge the average household rates far below PG&E.
His figures, for a 500 kilowatt hour household:
Alameda = $59.41
Santa Clara = $36.45
Palo Alto = $36.20
Sacramento = $46.60
He said, "They all have proven to be significantly more effective in providing better service, cheaper rates, and are at least investing back into their systems."
"The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is talking about taking over PG&E," said the corporation's manager of government relations, Brandon Hernandez. "PG&E's system is not for sale," he asserted, then went on to say a take over will cost the city "at least $4 billion."
He threatened other losses to the city. "We no longer will be contributing to San Francisco's non-profits and service organizations," he threatened, mentioning they gave away $5 million last year. He said putting PG&E out of business would cost the city $29 million a year in taxes and charitable giving.
The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has already come out guns blazing against the plan, using the same numbers PG&E cites. "San Francisco doesn't produce enough power from Hetch Hetchy to meet the entire load demand for the city of San Francisco," the Chamber's Jim Lazarus told me. The plan, however, makes no claim to rest entirely on power generated by Hetch Hetchy to cover all the city's needs.
Lazarus confirmed they got numbers from PG&E, but says they didn't ask him to come down and speak. "We've been in touch. Our position on this has been the same every decade this has come up."
David Campos, who's running for Ammiano's board seat in District 9, provided perspective as a former deputy city attorney who litigated the city's case against PG&E for upstreaming ratepayer funds to their parent corporation while declaring bankruptcy during the 2001 energy crisis. "It's central for this city to get out of doing business with PG&E."
Speaking against the measure, Sean Randolph of the Bay Area Council said, "We're concerned this gives the board unlimited bonding authority."
However the PUC already has the authority to issue revenue bonds for water projects and that bonding requires two-thirds approval from the BOS. This measure would allow them to do the same to purchase clean energy.
PUC staffers, on hand to answer any questions about the measure, tell me the PUC has some minor amendments, but nothing significant and they've been working with the city attorney. During the hearing, Daly asked the PUC's assistant general manager of power, Barbara Hale, if a green community jobs program he's been working on could be assimilated into this measure, should it pass.
"Yes, we are pursuing a green community at Hunter's Point Shipyard," said Hale. "In the context of the Act you're considering today, I think it's very compatible."
James Bryant, of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, said his Bayview community group wasn't supporting the measure. They have issues with the costs and the idea that former PG&E employees would be hired by the city and get worse retirement plans.
When asked if he was there because his organization gets money from PG&E, Bryant said, "Not really." In 2006, they received $85,000 from the corporation, and regularly roll out to speak at public meetings against anything PG&E is against. "I don't have anything to do with their decisions. They don't have anything to do with my decisions. How independent are we?" He asked, then responded by saying his members opposed building new peaker power plants in Bayview. I reminded him the PG&E opposed that, too.
"Of all the amoral things PG&E does, they fund very worthy grassroots organizations and then they lean on them to speak against things," said Ammiano.
Mirkarimi asked Hernandez if PG&E could provide a list of the organizations they fund. "That allows us to get a more transparent picture." Hernadez said he'd see what he could do when he got back to his office.
Lists of PG&E's charitable contributions can be found here.
Amendments continue to require tweaking and Rules Committee will meet again on July 9 to vote whether to recommend the ballot measure to the full Board.

1. Re: Hdlp 9.2 p1 upgrade a 9.2 p2coupons-101 Mar 27, 2013 5:24 PM (in response to ciberpuch)
I just want to confirmed your setup first.
1. You pretty much removed the Extension, Help Extenstion, and Agent out of EPO. Then do a reinstall or pretty much upgrade what you have?
2. You uninstall Managment Tools from your Program List?
3. Then you log back into EPO and click onPolicy or Monitor and it will reinstall the Managment Tools?
Steps you can try...
1. Uninstall the Manamgent Tools and also the MS Visual C whatever that came with the Management Tools
2. Log back to EPO and Click on Monitor and Management Tools and it should reinstall everything
3. When you go to Policy tab make sure Compatibility is set to None
Number 2 of you question - Have you deploy the agent to the customer?
Number 3 - hopefully above fix error
2. Re: Hdlp 9.2 p1 upgrade a 9.2 p2vimalnavis Mar 28, 2013 4:25 PM (in response to ciberpuch)
Correct the WCF issue. Ensure that the ID that you used to login to the machine is part of the Web Access Authorized Group (defined during WCF install).
After correcting the issue, convert the policy and Apply the policy to ePO. That should resolve your issue.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Witnesses say security forces are clamping down in Iran's holy city of Qom (KOHM), where massive crowds have turned out for the funeral of the country's most senior dissident cleric.
Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri died yesterday at age 87. He had denounced as "despotic" the government crackdown on protests following the disputed June presidential election. Today, many of the mourners have been chanting protest slogans and "death to the dictator."

My LO is EBF, though he has had bottles of BM here and there. I pump every night and sometimes during the day b/c I'm very prone to getting mastitis and clogged ducts. I now have a freezer full of breastmilk that, normally, I would just give to my LO throughout the day. However, I recently found out that my LO may have a milk/soy protein issue and I've given up all foods with either in the ingredients. So all of the pumped milk in my freezer is off limits to my LO. I don't want it to go to waste. I looked up milk banks and apparently they have enough milk. I would love to donate it to a hospital for the premies, but I don't think I can do that. Do you guys have any suggestions? Do you know anyone in the Chicago area who might need some? I have 3 gallon-sized bags filled with smaller bags. I just don't want to see it all go to waste.
What am I going to do with all of this milk?

Maybe after your LO is over 6 months and eating solids the reflux issue will go away. Just an idea. Maybe someone else will have a better idea.

Try the milk bank in Austin. I just started donating there. They were very grateful to have my donation. They do require some initial blood testing, but they pay for it and they will even help with costs to ship your milk. Their website is www.mmbaustin.org. Hope this helps!
I was told about MilkShare on Yahoo Groups and within the first 20 minutes of posting I had an email from a mom in my area. SHe's coming to pick up the milk today! I'm so excited that I don't have to dump my almost 150oz of frozen milk and that I get to help feed a super cute little milk monster, too! I love the internet.

You know how my house is pretty crazy right now? Guess what? MIL offered to babysit her other 4 month old grandchild the entire (Canadian) Thanksgiving long weekend (Oct 10-14). Thursday evening to Monday night. This is DH's sane and normal sister's child who is NOT staying with us. They are driving back to New Brunswick for the weekend to get the rest of their things for their move back to Ontario and didn't want baby there for two 16 hr drives. Luckily the evil BIL and his GF and the crazy 2 year old will NOT be here that weekend so it should be pretty low key (with our luck they will have moved out!)
I'm working that weekend, but from home. MIL is working Saturday so that means DH will be the primary caregiver of the baby for about 5 hours on Saturday afternoon (I'll be there to help if needed but have to focus on work).
This should be interesting for DH!
