Article: Drug-induced post-repolarization refractoriness as an antiarrhythmic principle and its underlying mechanism[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We hypothesized that amiodarone (AM), unlike d-sotalol (DS) (a 'pure' Class III agent), not only prolongs the action potential duration (APD) but also causes post-repolarization refractoriness (PRR), thereby preventing premature excitation and providing superior antiarrhythmic efficacy.Europace 11/2014; 16(suppl 4):iv39-iv45.

Article: How Should Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Lead Failures be Managed and What is the Role of Lead Extraction?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite remarkable advances in design, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads remain the component most susceptible to failure, which often leads to substantial adverse clinical outcomes. This article focuses on management strategies when ICD lead systems fail. Two cases involving management decisions for ICD lead failures are presented and discussed. One involves a common mode of presentation, inappropriate shocks. The second involves an alert in a patient with a complex system and multiple comorbidities. Although a systematic approach is outlined, management decisions must be balanced by a risk-and-benefit assessment of the individual patient.Cardiac electrophysiology clinics 06/2012; 4(2):209–220.

ABSTRACT: Epidemiological findings, based largely on middle-aged populations, support an inverse and independent association between exercise capacity and mortality risk. The information available in older individuals is limited. Between 1986 and 2008, we assessed the association between exercise capacity and all-cause mortality in 5314 male veterans aged 65 to 92 years (mean+/-SD, 71.4+/-5.0 years) who completed an exercise test at the Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in Washington, DC, and Palo Alto, Calif. We established fitness categories based on peak metabolic equivalents (METs) achieved. During a median 8.1 years of follow-up (range, 0.1 to 25.3), there were 2137 deaths. Baseline exercise capacity was 6.3+/-2.4 METs among survivors and 5.3+/-2.0 METs in those who died (P<0.001) and emerged as a strong predictor of mortality. For each 1-MET increase in exercise capacity, the adjusted hazard for death was 12% lower (hazard ratio=0.88; confidence interval, 0.86 to 0.90). Compared with the least fit individuals (< or =4 METs), the mortality risk was 38% lower for those who achieved 5.1 to 6.0 METs (hazard ratio=0.62; confidence interval, 0.54 to 0.71) and progressively declined to 61% (hazard ratio=0.39; confidence interval, 0.32 to 0.49) for those who achieved >9 METs, regardless of age. Unfit individuals who improved their fitness status with serial testing had a 35% lower mortality risk (hazard ratio=0.65; confidence interval, 0.46 to 0.93) compared with those who remained unfit. Exercise capacity is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in older men. The relationship is inverse and graded, with most survival benefits achieved in those with an exercise capacity >5 METs. Survival improved significantly when unfit individuals became fit.Circulation 08/2010; 122(8):790-7. DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.110.938852 · 14.43 Impact Factor
Article: Long-Term Mortality Outcomes According to the Frequency of Right Ventricular Pacing in Veterans[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. Right ventricular pacing (RVP) has been associated with adverse outcomes, including heart failure and death. Minimizing RVP has been proposed as a therapeutic goal for a variety of pacing devices and indications. Objective. Quantify survival according to frequency of RVP in veterans with pacemakers. Methods. We analyzed electrograms from transtelephonic monitoring of veterans implanted with pacemakers between 1995 and 2005 followed by the Eastern Pacemaker Surveillance Center. We compared all cause mortality and time to death between patients with less than 20% and more than 80% RVP. Results. Analysis was limited to the 7198 patients with at least six trans-telephonic monitoring records (mean = 21). Average follow-up was 5.3 years. Average age at pacemaker implant was significantly lower among veterans with <20% RVP (67 years versus 72 years; P < .0001). An equal proportion of deaths during follow-up were noted for each group: 126/565 patients (22%) with <20% RVP and 1113/4968 patients (22%) with >80% RVP. However, average post-implant survival was 4.3 years with <20% RVP versus 4.7 years with >80% RVP (P < .0001). Conclusions. Greater frequency (>80%) of RVP was not associated with higher mortality in this population of veterans. Those veterans utilizing <20% RVP had a shortened adjusted survival rate (P = .0016).Cardiology Research and Practice 05/2010; 2010(1):310768. DOI:10.4061/2010/310768

ABSTRACT: Heart failure is associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT/VF). Fluid accumulation during worsened heart failure may trigger VT/VF. Increased intrathoracic impedance has been correlated with fluid accumulation during heart failure. Implanted defibrillators capable of daily measures of intrathoracic impedance allow correlation of impedance with occurrence of VT/VF. We hypothesized that VT/VF episodes are preceded by decreases in intrathoracic impedance. The goal was to identify the relationship of intrathoracic impedance measured by implanted cardioverter defibrillators to the occurrence of VT/VF. Implanted defibrillator follow-up data were obtained retrospectively. Those with Medtronic OptiVol (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), storing averaged daily and reference impedance values, were reviewed for VT/VF episodes. Impedance changes in the week leading up to VT/VF were analyzed. A total of 317 VT/VF episodes in a cohort of 121 patients' follow-up data were evaluated. Averaged daily intrathoracic impedance declined preceding 64% of VT/VF episodes, with an average decline of 0.46 +/- 0.35 Ohms from the day before the VT/VF episodes. However, the mean values of the averaged daily and reference impedance did not change significantly. A novel measure, DeltaTI, the sum of the daily differences between the averaged daily and reference impedance, was negative preceding 66% of VT/VF episodes (P < 0.001). The mean DeltaTI was -4.0 +/- 1.3 Ohms, which was significantly lower than the theoretically expected value of zero Ohms (P < 0.01). (1) Averaged daily impedance declined preceding 64% of VT/VF episodes, but the overall decline was of small magnitude; (2) a novel measure, DeltaTI, was negative preceding 66% of VT/VF episodes, and significantly below zero.Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology 03/2010; 33(8):960-6.

Article: Management Strategies When Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillator Leads Fail: Survey Findings[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Defibrillator implanters have adopted different approaches to managing failures of multicomponent implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads. Although recent publications identified single-component failures as common mechanisms of failure, there are no published data regarding how best to manage these failures. An internet-based survey was conducted to identify current management strategies. Questions were asked regarding isolated failure of a high-voltage coil or of a pace/sense electrode, in order to identify the frequency of various techniques to correct these failures. A worldwide query collected strategies from 376 physicians identifying themselves as ICD-implanting physicians. Replies came from 28 countries, with the USA accounting for 83.2%. The survey was completed by 85.6% of respondents. Implant experience was >10 years for 61.1%, 3-10 years for 29.1%, and <3 years for 10.4%. When the right ventricular coil failed, 52% abandoned and 48% explanted the failed lead. In superior vena cava coil failure, 61.2% chose to simply exclude this coil, using the other intact lead components. For pace/sense defects, 53.1% chose to implant a new pace/sense lead or switch sensing electrodes, using the intact lead components. Medical literature (76.1%), personal experience (67.6%), and professional guidelines (63.7%) were strong decision-making influences. (1) Management decisions for single-component failures of ICD leads are complex; (2) Significant differences in management strategy exist among physicians; (3) Medical literature and professional guidelines are strong influences for these decisions; (4) A lead failure registry could help identify reasons for such differences and help guide management.Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology 09/2009; 32(9):1130-41.

Article: QT Variability during Rest and Exercise in Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators and Healthy Controls[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Increased QT Variability (QTVI) is predictive of life threatening arrhythmias in vulnerable patients. The predictive value of QTVI is based on resting ECGs, and little is known about the effect of acute exercise on QTVI. The relation between QTVI and arrhythmic vulnerability markers such as T-wave alternans (TWA) has also not been studied. This study examined the effects of exercise on QTVI and TWA in patients with arrhythmic vulnerability. Digitized ECGs were obtained from 47 ICD patients (43 males; age 60.9 +/- 10.1) and 23 healthy controls (18 males; age 59.7 +/- 9.5) during rest and bicycle exercise. QTVI was assessed using a previously validated algorithm and TWA was measured as both a continuous and a categorical variable based on a priori diagnostic criteria. QTVI increased with exercise in ICD patients (-0.79 +/- 0.11 to 0.36 +/- 0.08, P < 0.001) and controls (-1.50 +/- 0.07 to -0.19 +/- 0.12, P < 0.001), and QTVI levels were consistently higher in ICD patients than controls during rest and exercise (P < 0.001). The magnitude of QTVI increase from baseline levels was not larger among ICD patients versus controls (P > 0.20). Among ICD patients, elevated exercise QTVI was related to lower LV ejection fraction and inducibility of ischemia (P < 0.05). QTVI at rest correlated with exercise TWA (r = 0.54, P = 0.0004). QT variability increases significantly with exercise, and exercise QTVI is related to other well-documented markers of arrhythmic vulnerability, including low ejection fraction, inducible ischemia, and TWA. Resting QTVI may be useful in the risk stratification of individuals incapable of performing standard exercise protocols.Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology 01/2009; 14(1):40-9.

Article: Biventricular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Right Ventricle Pace-Sense Ring Electrode Failure: Lead Switch Fix[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This is the case of a 77-year-old man with hypertension, diabetes, ischemic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and an extensive device history. In May 2005, he underwent implantation of a right-sided biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system (Medtronic Insync Maximo 7303), Capsure Fix Novus 4076 atrial lead (Medtronic), Sprint Fidelis 6949 right ventricular (RV) dual coil ICD lead (Medtronic), and Attain OTW Bipolar 4194 left ventricular (LV) lead (Medtronic). In September 2007, he was using his right arm to dig a ditch and lay bricks. The next day while holding up a newspaper to read, he received multiple shocks. He was taken to a local emergency room where his ICD was reprogrammed to prevent shocks, and he was transferred to our facility for management.Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology 08/2008; 31(7):899-903.

ABSTRACT: Exercise capacity is inversely related to mortality risk in healthy individuals and those with cardiovascular diseases. This evidence is based largely on white populations, with little information available for blacks. We assessed the association between exercise capacity and mortality in black (n=6749; age, 58+/-11 years) and white (n=8911; age, 60+/-11 years) male veterans with and without cardiovascular disease who successfully completed a treadmill exercise test at the Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in Washington, DC, and Palo Alto, Calif. Fitness categories were based on peak metabolic equivalents (METs) achieved. Subjects were followed up for all-cause mortality for 7.5+/-5.3 years. Among clinical and exercise test variables, exercise capacity was the strongest predictor of risk for mortality. The adjusted risk was reduced by 13% for every 1-MET increase in exercise capacity (hazard ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.86 to 0.88; P<0.001). Compared with those who achieved <5 METs, the mortality risk was approximately 50% lower for those with an exercise capacity of 7.1 to 10 METs (hazard ratio, 0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.47 to 0.56; P<0.001) and 70% lower for those achieving >10 METs (hazard ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.26 to 0.36; P<0.001). The findings were similar for those with and without cardiovascular disease and for both races. Exercise capacity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in blacks and whites. The relationship was inverse and graded, with a similar impact on mortality outcomes for both blacks and whites.Circulation 03/2008; 117(5):614-22.

Article: Mental stress hemodynamic responses and myocardial ischemia: Does left ventricular dysfunction alter these relationships?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess if mental stress hemodynamic responses are impaired and related to mental stress (MS) ischemia in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Impaired LV function is an important coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factor and hemodynamic characteristics play an important role in clinical outcomes. Patients with severe LV dysfunction (SLVD) are frequently excluded from prior studies and the effects of LV dysfunction on MS hemodynamic responses are not known. Fifty-eight patients with CAD, consisting of 22 patients with normal LV function (ejection fraction (EF) > or =50%), 16 patients with mild-to-moderate LV dysfunction (30% < EF < 50%), and 20 patients with severe LV dysfunction (EF < or =30) underwent bicycle exercise (EX) and MS testing with 12-lead electrocardiogram and monitoring of vital signs on consecutive days in random order. Blood pressure and heart rate (HR) measurements were obtained. Ischemia was measured using single photon emission computed tomography. Both MS and EX produced significant increases in all hemodynamic measurements. HR levels were higher both at rest and during MS in SLVD patients. LV groups increased similarly from rest to stress (both MS and EX) for all measurements except HR during MS, which increased more in patients with SLVD than patients with normal LV function. Hemodynamic responses to MS were not related to myocardial ischemia or heart failure symptoms. HR response during MS is increased in patients with SLVD, whereas blood pressure responses are similar to those in patients with preserved LV function. Hemodynamic reactivity is unrelated to MS-induced ischemia.Psychosomatic Medicine 07/2007; 69(6):495-500. DOI:10.1097/PSY.0b013e3180cabc73 · 3.47 Impact Factor
Article: SCD-HeFT Investigators. Role of amiodarone or implantable cardioverter/defibrillator in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Heart failure complicated by atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with excessive mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study was to determine the role of amiodarone or implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) in patients with AF and heart failure. Patients were determined to be in sinus rhythm (SR) or AF on the baseline electrocardiogram. Mortality, ICD discharge, or change in rhythm was assessed. Of the 2521 patients at baseline, 2328 were in SR and 173 were in AF. Overall, after adjusting for differences in baseline variables, there was no difference in mortality between patients with SR and patients with AF (P = .98), nor within assigned groups: placebo (P) (P = .82), amiodarone (A) (P = .68), and ICD (P = .40). For patients with SR, ICD decreased mortality (P vs ICD, P = .004; A vs ICD, P = .004; P vs A, P = .75). For patients with AF, there were no differences in mortality among groups (P vs ICD, P = .99; A vs ICD, P = .88; P vs A, P = .88). Of patients with SR at baseline, 11% (264) developed AF by any electrocardiogram during follow-up (P 12%, A 8%, ICD 15%; A vs P, P = .019; A vs ICD, P = .001; P vs ICD, P = .044). Of patients with AF, 70% (121) developed SR during follow-up (P 66%, A 67%, ICD 75%, all P = not significant against each other). Any ICD shock was seen in 52% (34) of patients with AF vs 30% (222) of patients with SR (P = .001). Inappropriate shocks were seen in 37% (24) of patients with AF vs 14% (107) of patients with SR (P = .001). Appropriate shocks were more often seen in AF vs SR (P = .03). After adjustments for baseline differences, patients with AF and patients with SR have similar overall mortality rates. Compared to P or A, ICD improves survival in patients with SR, but may not in patients with AF. Amiodarone is effective in reducing new AF, but not in converting AF to SR. Implantable cardioverter/defibrillator, inappropriate, and appropriate shocks were more often seen in AF than in SR.American heart journal 12/2006; 152(5):974.e7-11.

ABSTRACT: Implantable pacemaker cardioverter defibrillators are now available with biphasic waveforms, which have been shown to markedly improve defibrillation thresholds (DFTs). However, in a number of patients the DFT remains high. Also, DFT may increase after implantation, especially if antiarrhythmic drugs are added. We report on the use of a subcutaneous patch in the pectoral position in 15 patients receiving a transvenous defibrillator as a method of easily reducing the DFT. A 660-mm2 patch electrode was placed beneath the generator in a pocket created on the pectoral fascia. The energy required for defibrillation was lowered by 56% on average, and the system impedance was lowered by a mean of 25%. This maneuver allowed all patients to undergo a successful implant with adequate safety margin.Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology 06/2006; 20(6):1662 - 1666.

The popularity of Disney's "Frozen" has stunned even retail giant Target.
When the animated movie was released for sale March 18, "It became the most successful first-day release for any movie in Target history," Target vice president Kathee Tesija said Wednesday. "And in the short time since, the movie has become Target's biggest movie ever."
How big? Tesija told analysts, "In the first month alone, we sold more units than we sold in the first year of 'Finding Nemo,' which previously held the record for our biggest release."
The "Frozen" phenomenon goes beyond the DVD/Blu-ray sales into music, books and more.
Tesija said Target has sold "hundreds of thousands" of Frozen-related books since last fall.
And the "Frozen" soundtrack was not only the best-seller in the first quarter, but it sold "more units in April than all of our other releases combined," Tesija said, during the company's otherwise disappointing earnings call.
Overall, she said, "We were blown away by the response."

Retiring abroad is a great way to stretch the value of a fixed income. From Latin America to Europe, there are retirement destinations around the world that work for almost anyone. In this article, we'll look at three retirement havens for expats where the U.S. dollar goes a long way and pensioners receive great government benefits.
SEE: Financial Implications Of Retiring Abroad
Retiring Abroad 101
Many people dream of retiring abroad, but get sidetracked by the logistics. From languages to visas to home buying, retiring abroad is certainly not a light decision or an easy process. However, for some people, the benefits of moving can far outweigh the costs. After all, the lower cost of living in some foreign countries can give way to a much higher quality of life.
Those looking to retire abroad should carefully read the State Department's Guide to Retiring Abroad and check with the individual country's embassy for more information. Each country has different rules and regulations that must be followed. Another option is to consult a financial advisor or a lawyer who specializes in international retirement.
Some other great online resources, include:
Expatistan.com — A cost of living calculator that aggregates price information contributes from thousands of people around the world.
VisaHQ.com — A resource for all types of visas and related information, as well as contact information for embassies and consulates around the world.
InternationalLiving.com — One of the oldest magazines focused on living internationally, with a section dedicated to retiring abroad.
Panama: A Familiar Place with Benefits
Panama should seem familiar in many ways to U.S. retirees — the country uses the U.S. dollar and even has the same 911 emergency phone number. Panama also offers a generous retirement visa (visa pensionado) that includes discounts on entertainment, transportation, professional services and medical services, as well as exemptions for importing household goods.
Cost of Living
The cost of living in Panama is well below that of the United States in many categories, especially outside of the capital (Panama City). According to Expatistan, the cost of living in Panama City is approximately 43% cheaper than that of New York City. The most savings are seen in food, housing and entertainment, which are all more than 40% lower.
Visa Requirements
Usually, you must be 50 years or older to qualify and have a pension that provides at least $1,000 per month in income. However, there are some age exceptions for those with government or high-profile pensions, as well as income exceptions for those purchasing over $100,000 worth of real estate in the country.

Take two: Rivals.com Preseason Top 25
Bob McClellan
Rivals.com College Football Columnist
Several teams moved up or down a single spot in the rankings, but only one moved up more than one spot based on its recruiting haul. That was Penn State, which climbed from 16th in our poll that coincided with the NFL early-entry deadline to 12th. The Nittany Lions came in sixth in our recruiting rankings, making a huge charge in the final weeks.
Three teams experienced sharper drops than most in our post Signing Day top 25: West Virginia, Oregon and South Carolina. The Mountaineers dropped from No. 3 to No. 6, the giddiness of an impressive Sugar Bowl victory replaced by a sobering recruiting haul that was ranked 52nd in the nation.
The Ducks didn't fare much better than West Virginia, coming in at No. 49 in our recruiting rankings. That easily explains their fall from 13th to 16th.
It's a little more difficult to explain the Gamecocks fall from grace. They were a solid 24th in recruiting and did address some needs. Perhaps we were a little too enthralled with the Ol' Ball Coach and what he got from this bunch this past season when we voted them No. 18 a few weeks ago.
Here's what our second pass at the preseason college football top 25 looked like:
Dropped Out: Boston College. Also receiving votes: Boston College, TCU, Fresno State, Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, Navy,

The 2013 race for governor of Virginia will take center stage in the coming months as the press grasps for political news post-Presidential election (and because the press, with a hands-off policy regarding the Obama administration, has nothing else to cover). The eternal tool Terry McAuliffe will almost certainly be the Democrats' nomineee.
So the GOP has a real opportunity here. In one corner for the nomination, we have Lt Gov Bill Bolling, a common-sense, practical Republican with a mild & pleasant demeanor. In the other corner we have Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a Tea Party firebrand who has opted to spend his time as attorney general advising state colleges and universities they lack the legal authority to protect gay employees from discrimination, fighting UVA over a climate change study, and passing out lapel pins to his staff with a doctored state seal, covering the bare breast of the Roman goddess to make it 'family friendly.' The odds of Cuccinelli uttering an Akin-esque comment, whether it relate to abortion, gay rights or illegals are approximately 80%, and the odds of him fulfilling the worst caricature, the worst stereotype of a national Republican are 100%.
So here we stand. A golden opportunity to reinforce a negative image of the Republican Party, or an opportunity to give people a second look at the party. Remember, this isn't a midterm where there's lots of other races to cover--many eyes will be on this race. I'm not terribly confident things will go the right way.

Bar Boulud
On a recent weekend night, a disastrous attempt at having dinner at Landmarc in the Time Warner Center resulted in an impromptu visit to Bar Boulud. Let me set the scenario before I get into the Bar Boulud review. The Time Warner Center Landmarc is essentially New York City's Rainforest Cafe…true mall dining at its finest. It was an absolute zoo, there were tables crammed into every square inch of available space, and the hosts and bartenders clearly hate their lives. I'm pretty sure they would have asked us to have dinner on the floor if the place got any busier. Needless to say, we closed out our bar tab and got the cuss out of there. Desperately looking for a civilized meal and a drink, we wandered over to Bar Boulud, sure that a Friday night walk-in would illicit some French snobbery. Surprisingly, they politely sent us to the bar for a quick glass of wine and we had a table within ten minutes.
Bar Boulud is Daniel Boulud's "casual bistro", but by Infatuation standards this is a fancy restaurant. It's an older crowd, but a seemingly loose one as the restaurant feels upbeat and lively. The service is first class, but not the slightest bit stiff. As for the food, you'll find a long list of pates and terrines, but otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward bistro. Pay attention to the specials, and the fish selections are spectacular. Salads and starters are tasty, and the wine list is well priced and full of lesser known varietals that will have you taking notes and chasing down bottles online. What's the takeaway here? Don't let the French formalities scare you off. Bar Boulud is fantastic.
Food Rundown
Betterave et Escarole
This is a roasted beet salad with escarole, hazelnuts, and a soft farm cheese. Beets and hazelnuts are a fantastic combo, and this salad was a nice light way to kick things off.
Pate Grand-Pere
Recommended by our waiter, this is a coarse pâte made of foie gras, truffle juice, and port. It sounds rich, but it's actually pretty mild. Also I don't know what truffle juice is, but I know I want more of it. There is one thing I should mention – it's a coarse pate meaning it has the consistency of an extremely high end cat food. Not that it bothers me – I'll eat anything … but it may not be something to give a pâte novice.
Mahi Mahi
An incredible piece of fish with hen of the woods, trumpet, and like five other varieties of mushroom. The fish is delicious and meaty like a cut of pork. An excellent plate of food.
Spaghetti Alla Chitarra with White Truffles
A homemade spaghetti pasta in a parmesan cream sauce with white truffles. Indulgent, expensive, and absolutely amazing. Imagine a fettuccine alfredo that makes you poor.

Our favorite place for fine dining in Manhattan. Daniel is an absolute classic. Save it for a special occasion and eat in the salon, where things are a bit more laid back.
It's rare that we actually venture up to the Upper West Side to eat out. Those treks north are usually reserved for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, chocolate chip cookies (we love Levain Bakery and Jacques Torres), and takeout essentials from Artie's Delicatessen or Fairway. Thanks to Dovetail, there's now another reason to make the trip.
Time after time, Per Se proves to be one of New York's most iconic and impressive restaurants. However, it has some serious service issues we'd like to address.
This A Voce just isn't quite on the same level as the original. That sick view of Central Park doesn't make up for the fact that the service is less impressive and the food doesn't come out of the kitchen with the same gusto. That said, we're still talking about a high quality restaurant here, and overall, we like it.
The situation at Benoit seems to be that, while it is a very French and very good restaurant, it won't live up to the standards that one might expect from such a legendary name.

Possible Merger of Star Trek and Star Wars
View Single Post
January 26 2013, 09:07 PM
Re: Possible Merger of Star Trek and Star Wars
The only case I can think of where a feature film crossed over characters or franchises belonging to two or more different studios was
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
-- and it took a lot of effort to get studios like Warner Bros. and Turner Entertainment to agree to share their properties. Oh, and also there was
Toy Story 2/3
using Barbie and Ken, something Mattel wouldn't agree to until after the first film was a huge hit. And
Wreck-It Ralph
has done something similar with video game characters, although they're just cameos.
Of course, in all those cases, it was Disney's clout and wealth that was able to get it done, so if anyone could make it happen with rival space-opera franchises, it would be Disney.
There is the case of
Freddy vs. Jason
, a crossover of New Line's
Nightmare on Elm Street
franchise and Paramount's
Friday the 13th
franchise. But that didn't happen until Paramount lost the rights to Jason and New Line acquired them. So that doesn't count as a real inter-studio crossover.

Business owners in the Town of DeWitt reacted strongly to a controversial proposal to regulate the size and nature of window signs.
Mike Lazar, planning board chair, and Dick Robb, commissioner of development and operations, took comments and answered questions from a crowd of about 40 at the fifth of six informational meetings on proposed zoning code changes.
While the opening presentation highlighted a number of changes in the DeWitt zoning and ordinance code, most of the commentary at the May 30 meeting concerned newly drafted regulations on business signs.
Robb told the crowd that the meeting was meant as an open question-and-answer forum, and that notes and records of the meeting would be given to the town's zoning update committee, an eight-member committee made up of elected officials, including Lazar.
Mel Rubenstein, who has operated a business on Erie Boulevard since 1965, was the first to address the issue of window signs. As the recent zoning code update allows signs to appear on up to 10 percent of a building's fa ade, and on 25 percent of each window, Rubenstein suggested that there be a separate regulation specific to window space, and that the maximum area allowed for signage be represented in a whole number rather than a percent.
Tom Karkowski, who owns a computer store at Lyndon Corners, spoke out against a section of the proposed signage code that counts any inventory that is visible from outside the building as a sign.
"My problem with the code is that it regulates what we do on the inside of our building," Karkowski said. "I feel like it is almost a violation of my constitutional rights."
Lazar said that the overall purpose of the code change is to give individual business owners flexibility to decide how they want to use their allotted sign space, and that the purpose of the new changes was to have a "face of the town that is not gaudy."

Article: The role of van der Waals interaction in the tilted binding of amine molecules to the Au(111) surface[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present the results of ab initio electronic structure calculations for the adsorption characteristics of three amine molecules on Au(111), which show that the inclusion of van der Waals interactions between the isolated molecule and the surface leads in general to good agreement with experimental data on the binding energies. Each molecule, however, adsorbs with a small tilt angle (between -5 and 9°). For the specific case of 1,4-diaminobenzene (BDA) our calculations reproduce the larger tilt angle (close to 24°) measured by photoemission experiments, when intermolecular (van der Waals) interactions (for about 8% coverage) are included. These results point not only to the important contribution of van der Waals interactions to molecule-surface binding energy, but also that of intermolecular interactions, often considered secondary to that between the molecule and the surface, in determining the adsorption geometry and pattern formation.Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 04/2012; 24(22):222001.

I've used a drop for 7x17 and 12x20 prints on Platine using magic brush (3 or 4 inch) -- I've seen a substantial improvement in coating. However, it will sink in a lot faster than before. I've tried everclear and haven't seen a difference.
For 8x10 - if I were you, I'd get a pipette and figure out a fraction of a drop -- about half would be appropriate for 8x10. measure how many drops in 1 ml and determine how many ml in a drop, now divide. (pipeting with pipette pumps is the ONLY way to do ULF negatives)
I've seen improvement using Tween for Lana Aquarelle and Fabriano Aristico. Not needed for a lot of papers.
Your mileage may vary --- try it and see.

I didn't expect any of that. Rubio turned into such an awesome character in this chapter. I'm blown away.
| HFGLF 2 chapter 36 . 2/23
The sorrow continues with Rubio's confession to being Genesis. I have a feeling things will take another sad turn when everything gets fully explained.
| Kurogane Black Ninja chapter 36 . 2/23
Rubio's past finally comes out. It turns out he's part of an experiment and was created rather than born. It explains a lot about his character before. His instability of not having orders, his drive to kill Valentino and emotional break downs in dealing with the world around him.
I have a feeling that more of his past is going to come out in the next chapter.
| Lime-sama the Second chapter 36 . 2/23
Wait...is Rubio an angel? Or is he half angel?
| MotherHonker chapter 36 . 2/23
Rubio's past shocked me. I feel so bad for him.
| Malarky chapter 36 . 2/23
Oh man. What is Rubio's transformation going to be?
| Inu-Inu's Midget Friend chapter 36 . 2/23
Now we're getting into the thick of the story. Rubio's past fills in a lot of blanks about his 's ironic how he and Valentino were meant to be enemies but then they turn out being just the opposite. In all honesty, this is probably one of my favorite chapters because I've always wanted to know the secret behind Rubio's character.
| Axis Tripper chapter 36 . 2/23
Rubio is a test tube project made from DNA of a supposed angel that they found on a mountain. That's really cool no matter how you put it. This chapter was awesome!
| King Corn chapter 36 . 2/23
I didn't see that coming at all. I knew Rubio was an assassin and I thought maybe he was genetically engineered like Valentino, Zidane, Loreli and Udo but nothing this shocking. You really punched me in the face with a nice plot twist there.
| RadicalRadicals777 chapter 36 . 2/23
So Rubio isn't entirely human? Whoa, that's so cool! Will his transformation be an angel, I wonder?
| Tragedy of Light and Dark II chapter 36 . 2/23
Rubio is part angel isn't he? Or part whatever that body is that they found on that mountain.
| Tragedy of Light and Dark II chapter 35 . 2/23
Vincent and Ionna got together. I like how real you made the emotion feel in this chapter. Valentino and Vincent having their little chat was nice as well. Great job!
| Dark Lord Cthulhu chapter 36 . 2/23
This is so sad. You know, I like how you keep a constant with the common factors in your character's stories. They either have all been done wrong or are experiments looking for an escape. I have this feeling Rubio isn't exactly a human.
| Dark Kurogane chapter 36 . 2/23
I get why they didn't go off to battle yet. I can't wait to see what Rubio's transformation will be.
| Utena Himemiya chapter 36 . 2/23
I am still fucked up about Agata. I will never be okay about her. I have to say that I didn't expect that little twist at all. So much stuff came out and this chapter was very informative. Poor Rubio.

It is no secret that the Oklahoma State coaching staff is looking to bring in some defensive tackles in their 2011 class that can help provide some immediate depth on the defensive line next season. That desire received a huge boost today when former Bakersfield, California product Maurice Hayes committed to OSU on his official visit. O-State Illustrated was able to catch up with the 6-foot-4, 325-pounder this evening to find out his story and how he ended up in Stillwater. Get the details inside

Slate's managing editor is angry. "Fuming," in her words. What has Jill Hunter Pellettieri so upset?
When she was a child, she used to enjoy staying in hotels, which she found "a world that suspended the realities of life at home."
But now hotels are harshing her buzz by letting her decide whether her bath towels need to be washed or can be re-used.
No, really: that is why she's "fuming." She explains:
[O]n entering a hotel room, I still immediately review the room-service menu, bask in the prospect of fresh, silky sheets, and inspect the bathroom to ensure I have fluffy, clean towels for every possible need. Then I spy one of those little placards, nestled among the tiny soaps or hanging from the towel rack, asking me to reuse my linens: "Save Our Planet ... Every day millions of gallons of water are used to wash towels that have only been used once ... Please decide for yourself." And, like that, my hotel buzz fizzles.
I'll admit that I sometimes choose not to participate in this program and request fresh towels and sheets every day. Before you write in scolding me for being a wasteful person, let me qualify that by saying it's not the program, in theory, I'm against. I'm all for saving the environment. But I don't want to be guilt-tripped into going green. It's the two-facedness of it that gets me-save our planet! Conserve our resources! It's up to you, hotel guest. Forsake that washcloth (or two!), or those crisp sheets that are your right when you pay for the room, and to what end-so the hotel can save money on laundry? How many natural resources are wasted printing all of these little signs? Here's an idea: Instead of printing out a placard for every room in the hotel, wash my towel.
Now, let's reiterate: the hotels in question aren't requiring Jill Hunter Pellettieri to re-use bath towels. They're offering her the option to do so. And she's upset because while exercising this option conserves water and energy, it also saves the hotel a few pennies. Pennies that, as far as she knows, keep the price of her hotel room lower than it might otherwise be.
I can't imagine that most Best Western guests are so delicate as to have their weekend stays ruined by a two-inch sign offering guests the option of reusing bath towels. And I can't imagine most readers of Slate's "Green Room" department share Pellettieri's annoyance at being offered the option to voluntarily and at no cost help reduce energy and water consumption.
UPDATE: * By "of the day," of course, I mean "of six days ago," when the Slate piece was posted. Gristmill's Kate Sheppard dealt with this nonsense on Friday:
Yet another climate finger goes to Slate and its managing editor, Jill Hunter Pellettieri, for publishing this asinine piece equating green efforts at hotels and other businesses with being "cheap." At first, we thought the article was a parody, lampooning Slate's love of vapid, self-important contrarianism. If only that were true. We're so sorry you feel like it's a tremendous act of "self-sacrifice" to sleep in the same sheets two nights in a row, Jill. We'll cry you a river while the ice caps melt.
Fox News' Brit Hume asserted that "climate alarmists certainly did not foresee the cooling trend of the past decade" and, therefore, the Obama administration is premature in implementing cap-and-trade policies to curb global warming because it is merely a "scientific consensus" and "something that is not yet a fact." In fact, according to climate scientists, the temperature data continue to show a long-term upward trend in global surface temperature, and a cooling trend would need to last longer than a decade before it could be distinguished from the natural variability in the Earth's global surface temperature.
Glenn Beck and James Pethokoukis each cited a study by the George C. Marshall Institute to criticize the carbon cap-and-trade system described in President Obama's budget proposal. But neither Beck nor Pethokoukis noted that the Marshall Institute has received funding from ExxonMobil.
In yet another example of what County Fair's own Eric Boehlert described as the press awakening from its slumber "just in time to aggressively press the new Democratic administration," the NYT's controversial science reporter John Tierney --American Progress' Joe Romm called him "easily the worst science writer at any major media outlet in the country"-- has written a column and two blog posts in the last couple of weeks fretting about the kind of advice President Obama might receive from some of his science advisors, most specifically John Holdren (Obama's pick for Science Advisor) and Steven Chu (Obama's Secretary of Energy). If you find it odd that a journalist who did little to no reporting on the widespread and well documented distortion of science and the scientific process during the George W. Bush administration would suddenly find it important to write about the politicization of science in Washington, you are not alone.
After his January 23 column, "Politics in the Guise of Pure Science," Tierney noted that he was asked by critics "[w]hy start worrying now about scientists pushing a political agenda" and isn't it disingenuous "to worry about the politicization of science now instead of during the Bush administration?" In his own defense he writes: "I agree that there were lots of attempts to use science for political ends during the Bush years. I wrote about some of the questionable claims by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the White House drug czar's office." So, while the Bush administration was busy placing unqualified political appointees in scientific positions, muzzling agency scientists, ignoring scientific findings when making federal health and environmental rules, manipulating the scientific advisory system in favor of ideology and industry, and editing reports in way that distorted scientific data, Tierney wrote about some "questionable claims" by the DEA and White House drug czar. Got it.
And just why is Tierney now concerned about "honest science"? Have Holdren or Chu been accused or found guilty of distorting scientific evidence or manipulating the scientific process for political purposes? No, Tierney is "concern[ed] about some of the debating tactics used by Dr. Holdren and his allies" early in Holdren's career, back in the 70s and 80s. Tierney's also concerned that Holdren, as Tierney sees it, has a "tendency to conflate the science of climate change with prescriptions to cut greenhouse emissions." According to Tierney, "There are other ways to cope, and there's no 'scientific consensus' on which path looks best." Of course, Joe Romm -- an actual scientist, as opposed someone like Tierney, who "always wanted to be a scientist but went into journalism because its peer-review process was a great deal easier to sneak through,"-- has noted that the idea that climate change science does not suggest the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions is just absurd.
As for Chu, Tierney cites one comment that Chu made in an interview with the Los Angeles times where he suggested that the effects of climate change could reduce the snow pack in the mountains of California to such an extent that there could be "no more agriculture in California," making it difficult to "keep their cities going." While Chu's comment may strike some as going beyond what the available science would allow us to predict with any degree of certainty, Tierney failed to mention that Chu reportedly was describing a worst case scenario or that the LAT reported that "[a] pair of recent studies raise similar warnings." Moreover, Chu's singular comment hardly provides evidence that we should be worried about whether Chu and other advisors give Obama "realistic plans for dealing with global warming and other threats." But it's good to see that Tierney has his watchful eye on the use of science in Washington, this time around.
From a March 4 Washington Times editorial:
Driving snow froze the hopes of organizers of "the biggest global warming protest in history" Monday in Washington. With the government on a two-hour snow delay and the speaker of the House unable to attend because her flight was grounded by inclement weather, shivering protestors gathered on the west front of the Capitol, the latest victims of a climatological phenomenon known by the scientific community as the Gore Effect.
The Gore Effect was first noticed during a January 2004 global warming rally in New York City, held during one of the coldest days in the city's history. Since then, evidence has mounted of a correlation between global warming activism and severely cold weather.
A year ago a congressional media briefing on the Bingaman/Specter Climate Bill was cancelled due to a cold snap. In October 2008 London saw the first snow since 1922 while the House of Commons debated the Climate Change Bill. That same month Al Gore's appearance at Harvard University coincided with low temperatures that challenged 125-year records. Tellingly, the average global temperature for each of the 366 days in 2008 was below the average for Jan. 24, 2006, the date Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" was released at the Sundance Film Festival.
Critics claim the Gore Effect is mere coincidence, though one could also argue that coincidence is also the basis for the anthropogenic theory of climate change. Alternative theories, e.g., citing the influence of sun spot activity, have gained increasing credence as scientists have noted global warming in recent years on other planets, which presumably have been human-free. Significant data issues have also arisen, such as the recent discovery of a chunk of Arctic sea ice the size of California that satellites had missed (but which in all probability had been known to polar bears).

Last week, Washington Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt said that if people don't like George Will using the Post's op-ed page to spread global warming misinformation, they should debate him rather than expect the Post to stop publishing the misinformation.
Well, Chris Mooney has submitted an op-ed refuting Will's claims. It will be interesting to see if Hiatt runs Mooney's column.
Either way, though, Mooney makes clear we'll see the column "in some form no matter what, this I promise."
Earlier today, Media Matters posted an item about Newt Gingrich spreading falsehoods on the social networking website Twitter. The former Speaker, responding to an observation by his wife Callista, falsely claimed that there had been "no [oil] spill since 1969" in waters off the Santa Barbara coast in California:
In a Twitter post, Newt Gingrich falsely claimed that there have been no oil spills in the waters off Santa Barbara since 1969. In fact, there were at least two oil spills reported in or near the Santa Barbara Channel in just the last few months, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Well, it looks like Gingrich didn't like being called out for his Twittery falsehood. Steve Everley, a research assistant over at the American Enterprise Institute has a post up on Newt's American Solutions blog defending the former Speaker.
Everley suggests in his response that Media Matters misrepresented what the Associated Press reported on February 18 regarding an oil spill off of the southern California coast. Everley writes (his emphasis):
The second "oil spill" mentioned was actually light lubricant oil mixed with a soap used to clean the platforms. It was not crude oil as the MMFA report implied.
In fact, Media Matters included this very information quoting the following directly from the AP's report:
A mixture of oily lubricant and water was still leaking from an ExxonMobil platform two days after the first report of a spill off the Southern California coast, federal and state officials said Wednesday.
Moreover, in his ten paragraph response to the Media Matters item in question, Everley acknowledges that there was at least one oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, though he attempts to explain it away saying "its impact was virtually non-existent."
In other words, Newt said there had been NO oil spills since 1969 and Everley responded that there had been an oil spill in February…but that spill wasn't too significant.
Significant or not, Everley's defense only serves to undermine Newt's original tweet.
By the way, if you use Twitter, you should really be following Media Matters.
Tucker Carlson, in a Washington Post online discussion:
Tucker Carlson: I've never been to Daily Kos (the guy who runs it -- Marcos something or other - may be the single most pompous person I have ever met) but for the record let me say that I think global warming is a crock too.
In a Twitter post, Newt Gingrich falsely claimed that there have been no oil spills in the waters off Santa Barbara since 1969. In fact, there were at least two oil spills reported in or near the Santa Barbara Channel in just the last few months, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Following the Drudge Report's lead, Fox News hosts Neil Cavuto, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity each suggested that, in Cavuto's words, a "massive snowstorm," which recently hit the East Coast, calls into question the scientific consensus on "global warming." However, climate scientists reject the notion that short-term changes in weather provide any evidence for or against the existence of climate change.

Re: search a sharepoint in response to Quick_Cut_Production Helpful
You probably don't have the correct ACL set for your file shares to allow Spotlight through to index the directories. If you do an ls -le in the parent directory your file share needs to have an ACL that looks like this…
1: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit
Once you have this Spotlight will be able to index your file share correctly and results returnable from a client system.

I'm not sure what you mean by ACL though...

Re: search a sharepoint in response to Quick_Cut_Production Helpful
When you look at the sharepoint using the Server App, you should see this:
More specifically.. If your sharepoint is at the path of /Groups/Management and you issue this from Terminal (directly on the server)
ls -ale /Groups/Management
One of the lines returned should be:
1: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit
If you don't see this, its easy to add..
sudo chmod -R +a# 1 "_spotlight allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Groups/Management
Watch out for spaces in the name.
If you do have spaces or are unsure how to type the path, then enter
sudo chmod -R +a# 1 "_spotlight allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit" {read next line}
and before you hit enter, drag the sharepoint folder to the Terminal window to auto-fill the path.
Then hit return.
You also need to make sure spotlight is enabled for the drive which stores your sharepoint.
Check status of all drives with
sudo mdutil -s /Volumes/*
To enable for your startup drive:
sudo mdutil -i on /
If the sharepoint is on another volume.
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Drivename
Hope that helps.
Quick_Cut_Production Apr 15, 2013 3:51 PM
Re: search a sharepoint in response to UptimeJeff Solved
Thank you for your response. I am going to give this a shot.
I just realized this, spotlight is still indexing... I don't know if this has any influence on what we're talking about.
Another point I should raise is that I have been having trouble getting Time Machine to backup the drive. It has been running for weeks and not completed, then it got stuck. I've stopped and am going to re-try the back-up. But first I'd like to shut down the server for a few minutes and restart it, just to see if the indexing will complete itself... Now if I could just get everyone to disconnect from the server for ten minutes! ha
I will try this all tonight and we'll see how it goes.
Thanks again for your help!!

Hello all. Any recommendations for tents for tall (6 foot 4) people that are one or two person tents?
Work out, ride, swing kettlebells and have fun!
Quarter Dome T2 Plus
My Stevenson 3R is 12 feet long from one end to the other ... and for sale.
as is the Long wide 4 season triple Bag.
Sent PM I can send pictures direct
rather than via doing the link to a 3rd party public picasa Etc. link
just Old Guy, not that smart on the web thing..
The Hilleberg Allak is very roomy for one with an inside length of 89". Pricey and heavy but durable. Well made and well designed.
I used a Quarterdome T2 plus on recent trip. It worked well as far as size was concerned (94x54 instead of 84x51) and had a decent height to sit up in the tent and good vestibules. The drawback for me was that the zippers stopped working - first on one side and then the other. Some of that might not be unique to this tent as did a lot of camping in the desert including a good sandstorm.
At 6'3", I can fit myself and a my 6'1"ish buddy (or my two small boys) in my Eureka Spitfire 2, and it's reasonably light and cheap.
FS: Velo Orange Camargue frame/fork, $385; Rivendell Cheviot frameset, $750
Didn't you just buy a big tent earlier this year?

Wow, Thanksgiving was rough! I tried very, very hard to stick to my guns and, overall, I'm proud that I didn't fall completely off the wagon. I allowed myself little treats over the holiday like a sliver of pumpkin pie, a cookie, and a few bites of amazingly buttery mashed potatoes. I tried to keep my portions of everything else small and tried (kind of) not to drink too much wine. I could have done better in that respect, but I upped my cardio to make up for it, severely punishing myself in the process. Read more »

San Diego, a.k.a. America's Finest City, will always have a special place in my heart. I spent three years there during my time at UC-San Diego. Though I moved out of California several years ago, I fondly look back on my time in S.D.
I recently learned that UT-San Diego, formerly the San Diego Union Tribune (SDUT), was bought by the parent company of the L.A. Times. (Ugh.) Here's more about the recent merger:
The day after the announcement of an agreement to sell the U-T San Diego to the parent company of the Los Angeles Times, the reaction among a variety of civic leaders struck a welcoming tone to the new owner, tempered with a cautious note of wait-and-see about possible changes in a newspaper that traces its lineage back 146 years.
SDUT always had decent commentary, especially with its conservative/libertarian-leaning editorial board. Its reporting is far superior to that of LAT's "reporting," in my humble opinion. (LAT is notoriously leftist.) I suspect UTSDo will adopt a more leftist bent following this deal. Truly sad.
This is not the only attempt to subvert San Diego or nearby counties to the whims of L.A. There is immense chatter about transferring Qualcomm Stadium in downtown San Diego up to Carson in L.A. (The Chargers would potentially share their stadium with the Oakland Raiders.) Additionally, the renaming of the Anaheim Angels to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was perhaps the most idiotic move imaginable. (I don't even follow sports that closely but found this move to be nonsensical since L.A. already boasts the L.A. Dodgers.) Again, L.A. has an encroachment problem.
Here's more about the rivalry:
"There is a great rivalry going back to the late 19th century in terms of who would be the great Southern California metropolis, San Diego or Los Angeles," said UC San Diego political science professor Steve Erie. "But then L.A. ended up getting the Southern Pacific railroad in 1873 because they were willing to pay more, and about a quarter of the San Diego business community high-tailed it up to L.A. believing that is where destiny smiles. In a sense, we have been in L.A.'s shadow ever since."
Now don't get me wrong–I don't hate Los Angeles; I just prefer San Diego.
Growing up in Orange County, which is situated between these two metropolises, I had the luxury of traveling to both cities as a child, teenager, and college student. The L.A.-S.D. rivalry was widely apparent, and I always sided with San Diego. I always loved San Diego and knew deep down in my heart that I'd attend college there.
Suffice to say that L.A. is not an entirely horrible place; it's just so overcrowded, leftist, and superficial. Several relatives live or have lived in L.A., so there were always frequent visits up to Santa Monica or Marina del Rey. (Thank you Hollywood and decades' long leftist policies in place for tainting this once-great city!) There are many wonderful things in L.A.–the food, the beach, great art museums, etc.–just not many attractive things available to convince me to move to the City of Angels. (Thankfully I'm out of California entirely.) However, here are just some of my observations as to why S.D. is more superior than L.A.:
- Fewer, much nicer people – S.D. is home to friendlier people. It must be due to less traffic, proximity to beaches, and better standard of living.
- Rich military history–Just about every branch of the military is housed in S.D. Navy SEALs are trained here. Plus, there's the U.S.S. Midway.
- Fewer taxes, more politically sane – The current mayor is a Republican, though he could benefit from being more conservative. It's the eighth largest city in the U.S. and is more prosperous than L.A.
- Nice beaches–Coronado, La Jolla, Encinitas, Carlsbad–need I say more??
- Great brews, good food–S.D. is known for its variety of food and libations, especially its authentic Mexican food and craft beers.
- Oldest city in California–S.D. was founded in 1769 and is known as the birthplace of California. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo stumbled upon it about 200 years before its establishment. Top that, L.A.!
To my fellow California natives still residing in the once Golden State or residing elsewhere: what do you think? Do you think L.A. has an encroachment problem? Weigh in below!
