Constant Contact Announces General Availability Of SaveLocal™
Constant Contact®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT) today announced the general availability of SaveLocal, the company's latest online marketing tool that helps small businesses run profitable, effective local deals. Previously only available to Constant Contact customers, SaveLocal is now available to all US businesses. SaveLocal addresses critical problems with the current daily deals model by giving merchants complete control and allowing them to run deals that make sense financially, incentivize social sharing to spread word of mouth, attract new customers, and drive repeat business. "In speaking with local business owners when developing SaveLocal, we heard a few common requests: they wanted a tool that helped them acquire new customers through word-of-mouth, the ability to control the type and amount of the deal, and they wanted to actually make a profit," said Dave Gilbertson, vice president and general manger, SaveLocal. "Those all seemed like pretty reasonable things to ask from a business owner trying to make a living, but unfortunately, the traditional deals model fell short on every one of these goals. SaveLocal flips that model on its head and gives the merchant complete control of the deal: they control the discount amount, the terms of the deal, timing, and how many coupons to sell. And we've already seen some truly amazing results. We couldn't be more excited about making this product widely available."Janet Brown of Cape Fear Aesthetics, a spa in Fayetteville, N.C., ran a SaveLocal deal that netted over $14,000 in revenue in just 10 days. "We ran the same exact deal with a different provider, but the SaveLocal deal was much more profitable, because we didn't have to give the standard 50 percent back to the vendor," said Brown. With SaveLocal, deals are completely free to send, and merchants pay just $1, $2, or $3 when someone buys the deal, depending on the value of the deal. Cape Fear's first deal went so well – and cost so little – that the spa ran another deal, and then a third. Overall, their offers brought in over $42,000 in revenue. Grant Galuppi, owner of Galuppi's, a restaurant in Pompano Beach, Fla., had the same issue. "The deals vendor required that we offer a 50 percent discount and give them half of whatever we made," said Galuppi. "We wanted to find an alternative that gave us more control over the deal. Constant Contact had already been a huge part of our online marketing, so when I heard about SaveLocal, it was a no-brainer." Galuppi also used SaveLocal's sharing feature to incentivize his customers to buy and share the deal, offering an additional $5 coupon to anyone who purchased the deal and then emailed it, tweeted about it, or posted it on Facebook®. As a result, Galuppi's sold over 200 coupons and brought in over $3,000 in revenue, but more importantly, expanded its new customer base by 36%. "All of our products are made in-house. They are hand-made and hand-painted. We couldn't afford to be put in a position where we had to offer a steep discount," said Grant Cloud, owner of Cloud's Porcelain, a pottery store in Folsom, Calif. "The deal we ran with SaveLocal was $75 for a $100 gift certificate. It was super affordable and we were in control of the terms. They didn't force us to offer a 50 percent discount, and we didn't have to give them a big share of revenue. The deal brought in over 40 percent new customers and went above and beyond our expectations." "Success stories like these are just a few of the great examples we have of what happens if we give merchants the tools and total control to create profitable deals campaigns that drive word of mouth. We think that the best way to find your next great customer is through your existing customer base, rather than through a big list of consumers who don't know much about you. That is SaveLocal's secret sauce," said Gilbertson. "This industry can have an inspiring and bright future, but in order to succeed, the model needed to change. It's clear that our model is resonating – in just the three months since SaveLocal's launch, our deal volume has put us in the top 10 among current providers."

I put this framed print above my couch with a similar print called "There Goes Bill" and they look great. I was hesitant to order a print online and especially to have it framed before receiving it. I was very pleasantly suprised when they arrived [...]). I used to work at a custom frame shop and had seen a lot of bad framing come in there. For the price, though, I thought I'd give it a shot. I was impressed. I ordered glass in the frames [...] The print AND framing are very nice. Not quite good frame shop quality but not frame shop price either. It is just how it is represented on the website, including how the picture is layed out within the mat. I looked closely for specks of dust or dirt bits under the glass and didn't see any. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is this: I ordered two similar prints in the same size with the same framing and one of them is a little over 1/8" taller than the other. Not a huge deal but I did have to compensate when hanging them next to each other. I can't really tell when looking at them on the wall now. Also where the two pieces of frame meet in the corners is not filled in with colored wax like some frame shops do. That, too, is not a big deal since they meet very closely with hardly any gaps. Overall I am very pleased and would definitely order prints and framing from art.com again. As for the print "The Walrus and the Carpenter" I can't say enough good things about it. I wanted Alice in Wonderland prints but not from well known scenes such as the mad hatter tea party. I love its character and uniqueness. And I appreciate that I was able to find something by the same artist that was complimentary to it.

(By Retail Sails) For 15 years, Fortune has annually published the '100 Best Companies to Work For' in America.
Below, we take a look at the top 10 American retailers to work for – those companies that have consistently made the list by treating their employees as their most important asset. It's no coincidence that all of these chains are known for their stellar customer service and are among the best-performing in their respective sectors.
[Related -Nordstrom, Inc. (JWN) Q3 Earnings Preview: What To Expect?]
Wegman's Food Markets
2012 Overall Rank: 4
5-YR Avg Rank: 3.6
Employees: 41,717
Voluntary Turnover: 4%
1-YR Job Growth: 5%
Most common job (salaried): Store Department Manager – $56,040/yr
Most common job (hourly): Store Customer Service – $29,286/yr
With 2011 sales of $6.2 billion, this 79-store grocery chain is the 55th-largest private company in the U.S. What truly distinguishes Wegman's is its people, though – the company has made the 'Best Companies to Work For' list every year since its inception in 1998 and has never had a layoff, one of only 3 American companies that can claim both.
If the company has to close a store, eliminate a department or position, it has always managed to keep the employees and retrained them for new positions saying they would rather have trained staff than have to invest in new hires later. As a testament to how great a place it is to work, 11% of the workforce has been with the company for more than 15 years.
[Related -Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG): This High-Flying Stock Could Tumble 50%]
Each year every employee gets a holiday greeting card from the Wegman family, who still own the grocery chain.
Wegman's has been ranked in the top 10 every year since 2003 and in the top 5 places to work each year since 2005, when it was ranked #1.
Recreational Equipment (REI)
2012 Overall Rank: 8
5-YR Avg Rank: 15.4
Employees: 10,466
Voluntary Turnover: 5%
1-YR Job Growth: 12%
Most common job (salaried): Retail Store Manager – $103,112/yr
Most common job (hourly): Retail Sales Specialist – $27,924/yr
The privately held consumers' cooperative has made the list every year since inception, one of only 5 retailers and 13 companies overall to do so.
Perhaps it's because every employee is eligible for subsidized health care? Or maybe it's the 50%-75% discounts on full-price REI branded apparel and equipment, free rental of equipment like skis and kayaks, and annual gifts of REI gear?
It could be that after 15 years of service employees are eligible for a 4-week paid sabbatical, as well as one every 5 years after that. REI was also ranked 4th overall for work-life balance, where employees feel "encouraged to balance their work and personal life."
Whole Foods Market
2012 Overall Rank: 32
5-YR Avg Rank: 22.4
Employees: 60,213
Voluntary Turnover: 7%
1-YR Job Growth: 6%
Most common job (salaried): Associate Store Team Leader – $80,199/yr
Most common job (hourly): Cashier – $26,812/yr
Whole Foods has been on the list every year since inception – though the company has grown from just 87 stores and $1.7 billion in sales in 1998 to 311 markets and over $10.1 billion in sales last year, it hasn't scaled back on providing for its employees.
In the age of executive excess, executive pay is capped at 19 times the average full-time salary and co-founder and CEO John Mackey has taken a salary of just $1 since 2006.
Minorities are extremely well-represented at 43% of workers.

Lords of the Super Bowl rings
Posted February 4, 2013
Legacy, it is a word that carries a lot of weight.
For some players, winning the Super Bowl means more than holding a trophy and getting a ring, it is an achievement that creates or cements a legacy that will last forever. For players getting close, it opens a career that for most can only be validated with a championship. Super Bowl winners are viewed different, when the "Best Ever" debate is brought up, champions have a permanent seat.
Case in point, John Elway had a Hall of Fame career but was 0-3 on Super Bowl Sunday. Elway erased the conversation about his big game failures with two titles to end his career – that put him in the rarefied air. Then there is Dan Marino, despite better numbers than 99 percent of quarterbacks who have played the game, right or wrong, in the minds of most people, no ring keeps him out of the pantheon of the "Best Ever." Winning Super Bowls defines a player's place in NFL history regardless of how fantastic the regular season and post-season numbers are.
This Super Bowl would change the perception or legitimize the career of several figures in this contest. The two quarterbacks in this game were at the top of the list.
A few years ago, Ravens QB Joe Flacco was asked if he was the best in the league. When he answered that he believed he was indeed the top QB, the laughter and scoffing could be heard around the country. After an MVP performance in Super Bowl XLVII, not many people will dismiss Flacco's assessment. The Ravens had been built on defense for years, but for the past few seasons it has been Flacco and the offense leading the way. Flacco had a playoff run for the ages; he bested rookie sensation Andrew Luck, dispatched Peyton Manning and out-played Tom Brady. Eleven touchdown passes with zero interceptions, placing him with Joe Montana as the only men to throw that many scores without a pick in the post-season, still he had to play well in New Orleans.
The numbers will show that Flacco did. He was 22 of 33 with three touchdown passes in the first half and 287 yards. While there are still many years to go in his career, Joe Flacco's performance in the Super Bowl will give him a smoother ride down that road. This off-season go into your favorite watering hole and I promise you that Joe Flacco's name will be brought up as a top five quarterback in the NFL today.
In a losing effort, Colin Kaepernick validated Jim Harbaugh's decision to let him start the final 10 games of the season. A win Sunday night might have placed him on a path that we have already seen – an unknown QB takes over for the former number one pick and leads his team to the Super Bowl; see Tom Brady. After a shaky start throwing a costly interception, Kaepernick threw for 302 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 62 yards with a score. If Flacco has years left in his career, Kaepernick has eons in NFL terms, and might have a bigger impact on the game, even in a loss.
The unheralded pick out of the University of Nevada will now be the player that coaches everywhere are looking at to be their signal caller. Just watch in the next few seasons at how many NFL, college and high school teams turn to an athlete like Kaepernick to run their offense. The pistol won't be a gimmick; it will be a staple in almost every playbook in America. The success of players like Russell Wilson, Cam Newton and RGIII have helped, but it was the 49ers QB stealing the spotlight this post season that will change the type of player that defines the most glorified position in sports. There are no questions about his ability to play in the NFL. Although some critics of that style of play are silenced, Kaepernick doesn't have the trophy and his career will have a void until he does.
No player had more talk this week than the emotional leader of the Baltimore Ravens, Ray Lewis. The linebacker was retiring after a 17 year career that has had him applauded for being one of the best ever to play the position. Lewis is respected like few others for what he does on the field and in the Ravens locker room, but he is a polarizing figure for his involvement in an off-field incident in 2000 where two men were murdered. More controversy surrounded Lewis this week as a report about him using deer antler spray to help him recover from a triceps injury popped up. No matter your perception of Ray Lewis the person, with two Super Bowl rings, Ray Lewis the player is cemented as one of the greats to step in between the lines.
There are a few others that will be held on a higher pedestal this week than last week. Baltimore safety Ed Reed now has his Super Bowl ring. After the game, he said that it is the exclamation point on his career. A title being the only thing that was missing from a resume that less than a handful could turn in. Ray Lewis might get the front page, but it is Reed playing at high level that keeps quarterbacks up at night. There isn't a long list of the best safeties ever to play the game, after Sunday night the list of players taken before Reed shrank even more.
John Harbaugh also steps into a higher-rent district with this Ravens' victory. He becomes just the 30th head coach to win a Super Bowl and he had to beat his brother to earn the Vince Lombardi trophy. If there was any question about John Harbaugh taking his team to the next level, it was answered with the 34-31 win.
Winning a Super Bowl doesn't make you one of the best ever, but in the minds of most sports fans it does put you ahead of the ones who don't.

The Woodmore school board has scheduled two special board meetings pertaining to the closed elementary school building in Woodville.
The board will meet April 2 at 7 a.m. at the board office, 349 Rice Street, Elmore, to approve a contract for auctioning items from the building.
The board will also meet April 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the high school, 633 Fremont Street, Elmore, to decide on a plan for demolishing the building and the Hetrick wing in Elmore.
One option the board is considering is to retain part of the elementary school for storage of athletic and other equipment.
Some residents are asking the board to delay a decision on the demolition of the part of the elementary school that houses a theater.
A new elementary building that recently opened in Woodville has a multi-purpose room but not an actual theater. The high school building also doesn't have a theater.
A Marine sergeant that finished three combat tours in Iraq protecting soldiers from roadside bombs was honored with a full military memorial service on Sunday at the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post in Oregon.
The Post had conducted many memorial services before for veterans, but the one on Sunday was a first: The officer, a hero by all accounts, was a 13-year-old bomb sniffing dog. Sgt. Bernie, a Belgian Malinois, also was assigned to Secret Service detail near the end of her career to ensure a location was safe for the American president, vice president, secretary of state, as well as the president of Pakistan and other foreign dignitaries visiting the U.S.
Until last month, Eastwood senior Brennan Seifert had never heard of Tim Berta.
"I didn't know who he was," said Seifert, 18, "but I knew about the bus crash. I remember watching it on the news when it happened. It happened down in Georgia and I was thinking, 'why are they down there, on a tournament or a trip?' "
On Feb. 16, Seifert received the Tim Berta Courage Award at the National Football Foundation dinner at the SeaGate Center in downtown Toledo. University of Toledo football coach Matt Campbell was the keynote speaker.
Berta was one of 21 Bluffton University baseball players who were injured when their charter bus, headed to Sarasota, Fla., careened off an Atlanta overpass and fell nearly 20 feet to the highway below. Five Bluffton players were killed, along with the bus driver and his wife.
Berta, who was from Ida, Mich., was a 2002 NFF honoree who was awarded one of the NFF's annual scholarships by its Wistert Chapter. In 2007, Berta was honored by the Wistert Chapter for his courage in recovering from the bus accident, and awarded him the Don King Courage Award.
Passionate birder's musical act to kick off festival
While R. Bruce may be both a birder and a comedic singer and musician, for him, the two areas of interest aren't necessarily so different.
"They would seem to be very different, looking at birds and singing silly songs… but there is something in common, and that is sharing. Almost all the birders I know love to share their knowledge and information. The musical community is a bit like the birding community… a lot of creative, wonderful, crazy people who like to share," Bruce said.
The festival's host, the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, brought Richardson here to kick off the festival at 7 p.m. on May 8 at the Maumee Bay State Park lodge. Cost for a ticket is $12. The festival, which attracts tens of thousands of birders from across the world to Lake Erie's shores each year, runs until May 17.
His performance at the Biggest Week in Birding is a part of what he humorously refers to as the R. Bruce Richardson Reunion Tour (Banding Code RBRT). While he performs solo and doesn't have a band to reunite with, this is his first time touring and performing in several years. So in a way, it is indeed a solo reunion tour.
An application for a Special Use Exception (SUE) on property where a former lumber yard was located on Brown Road was withdrawn on Monday.
The Oregon Planning Commission had recommended approval for the SUE so that a storage facility for wood and work trailers at 5435 Brown Road could be constructed. The matter had been referred to Oregon City Council for the March 23 council meeting, where a public hearing on the matter was on the agenda.
"The applicant for this SUE has approached the city with a request to withdraw this application," said Council President Dennis Walendzak. "On March 17, the applicant notified the city administration that they would like to withdraw the application for the Special Use Exception. The applicant also requested that the 12 month reapplication period be waived," he said.
Council granted the request to withdraw the application.
A.A. Boos had planned to buy the property, where a lumber yard had once operated. Sondra Boos applied for the SUE in an R-1 Low Density Residential District

Liar vs. coward in the Vietnam ad war.
"Any Questions" was produced for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth by Stevens Reed Curcio. "Swift Response" was produced for MoveOn PAC by Zimmerman and Markman.

From: William Saletan
To: Jacob Weisberg
The negative phase of the general election started early this year, so the traditional late-summer moral descent is taking us one step deeper, to the personally nasty. "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth"—their Web site calls them Swiftvets—say Kerry lied about Vietnam. MoveOn PAC says the Swiftvets, with Bush's complicity, lied about Kerry lying.
The Swiftvets' allegations are deliberately blurred. Their ad starts with John Edwards urging people to talk to "the men who served with" Kerry. Several Swiftvets then appear on the screen, saying they "served with" Kerry. This is a semantic trick. Edwards is talking about crewmates who, at one time or another, accompanied Kerry on his six-man boat. The Swiftvets served with Kerry only in the sense that they manned other boats in Vietnam. It's a bit like saying you spent the night with Bill Clinton because you were on Martha's Vineyard, too.
Thirteen vets make 15 statements in the ad. Let's discard the unfalsifiable ones: "You could not count on John Kerry," "John Kerry is no war hero," "John Kerry has not been honest," "John Kerry cannot be trusted," "He is lying about his record," and "He lacks the capacity to lead." There's no way to fact-check these because they cite no facts.
Next, let's distinguish Kerry's statements about what he did from his statements about what others did. Most of the Swiftvets' material complaints address the latter: "John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in Vietnam," "John Kerry betrayed the men and women he served with in Vietnam," "He dishonored his country ... he most certainly did," "He betrayed all his shipmates ... he lied before the Senate." Phrases such as "what happened in Vietnam," "dishonored his country," "lied before the Senate," and "the men and women he served with" (there were no women on Kerry's boat) give away that these claims have nothing to do with Kerry's service. They're about his allegations afterward that American forces participated in war crimes.
The war crimes debate is murky. Kerry testified not about what he had seen but about what other servicemen had told him. And some war crimes clearly occurred. So at a minimum, in both spirit and substance, he didn't lie.
That brings us to the allegations that he misrepresented his own experiences. Here, Kerry's testimony was firsthand, so his veracity is on the line. Only two statements in the ad fall into this category. One comes from Louis Letson: "I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart because I treated him for that injury." The other comes from Van O'Dell: "John Kerry lied to get his Bronze Star. ... I know, I was there, I saw what happened."
Letson loses credibility right away for implying that he has firsthand knowledge about his allegation. He doesn't. The allegation has to do with the source of Kerry's injury, not its severity. According to Tuesday's Los Angeles Times, Letson told the paper that after treating Kerry, "[Letson] learned from some medical corpsmen that other crewmen had confided that there was no exchange of fire and that Kerry had accidentally wounded himself as he fired at the guerrillas. Letson said he didn't know if the crewmen giving this account were in the boat with Kerry or on other boats."
That's third-hand testimony from somebody who doesn't even know the identity or location of the firsthand source. Pretty lousy stuff. Furthermore, the Times notes, "Navy rules during the Vietnam War governing Purple Hearts did not take into account a wound's severity—and specified only that injuries had to be suffered 'in action against an enemy.' … A Times review of Navy injury reports and awards from that period in Kerry's Swift boat unit shows that many other Swift boat personnel won Purple Hearts for slight wounds of uncertain origin." Case closed.

As soon as my husband and I started coming to grips with the fact that we were going to welcome another baby, I started trying to convince him that this surprise baby was also going to be our surprise gender baby. My theory is that we already have a boy and a girl so the delivery room surprise would be fun and exciting. I have always admired moms who were patient enough to wait out the pregnancy to discover the gender. And now it's my turn.
But, as the pregnancy progresses I'm starting to wonder if the surprise is really worth the wait. In fact a friend said to me the other day, "It seems like in your situation not finding out is more trouble than its worth."
Here's the deal: baby is due in mid-March and we will likely move in June. We decided not to set up a nursery because baby would sleep in our room for at least the first three months whether or not we were preparing a dedicated nursery. The situation is full of unknowns that are really causing me angst: not being able to shop and prepare for a boy or girl, not setting up a nursery for baby, and not knowing where the military will move us next summer.
This is all coming to a head at the moment because I am, apparently, entering the "nesting" phase. All I want to do is set up a nursery and prepare to welcome this baby. I want to browse Etsy and purchase sweet little prints and goodies. I want to set up a sweet crib with darling baby bedding. I want to buy little pink or blue clothes. I want to shop. And nest. And I can't.
If you waited for a delivery room surprise, was it worth it? Was it all you hoped it would be? Is not finding out causing unnecessary stress?

The people behind the new site STFU Gays have somehow deluded themselves into thinking that mocking gay people is super cool when they acknowledge that they are making fun of gay people. From their "about" section:
Hey, we're tolerant people. We celebrate the diversity of cultures online. But you know what? Sometimes there's a gay man on your Facebook and he is just being TOO GAY. Please. Stop being so gay. We love you without you needing to feel like you gotta be all gay up in our faces.
Examples of the site's posts:
(Featuring a video of a singer) Careful—this might be too gay. Fortunately, this singer has not admitted to his homosexuality yet, so maybe that will shield you.
(About a facebook update of a man who said "good morning") If another man smiles at you, he is flirting. I don't care if he was a greeter at Walmart. No one is nice for free. Better start dropping trou.
I would have just ignored this site if Queerty hadn't, inexplicably, posted it on its site as "Queerty Approved."
One of the Queerty editors wrote about STFU Gays, "What do blogs like these represent? That all stereotypes are rooted in truth. And they're hysterical."
Oh, hell no.
Look, I'm all for poking fun at self-absorbed behavior, gay and straight. But STFU gays isn't about that — instead the people who created it hide behind (literally — the photo of its creator has a white ninja mask covering his face) a bitchy irony that they suppose will excuse and explain their homophobia.
It doesn't.
You know what this is like? This is like when that obnoxious friend of a friend says to you, "You're a fucking fat loser . . . just kidding!"
Why don't these morons write to, say, Steven Harmon, and tell him, "Hey, you got gay-bashed because you're TOO GAY! You got up in someone's face with your gayness and deserved it! Just kidding!"

Connecting the Dots: top stories for Monday, November 7
Generation 99%: The youth brigade to the library
Inside the main branch of the Oakland Public Library on the day of the general strike, it was quieter than usual, even for a library. But outside the library was a different story. While thousands gathered in Frank Ogawa Plaza, hundreds gathered here, on the front lawn, for a smaller, more humble, and more family-oriented sort of protest. This march was led by toddlers in strollers and their parents. It was called called "The Toddler Brigade."
Acting Supervising Librarian Kathleen DiGiovanni said the event wasn't organized by the library, but it made sense that the lawn was being used in such a way; it's a neutral, public meeting place for protesters to gather. After the police raided Frank Ogawa Plaza early on Tuesday, October 25th, 1500 people headed to that same library lawn to regroup. That's when they decided on the general strike.
The Occupy Oakland movement has brought up heated debates about public space. Here at the library, Oakland library teen outreach coordinator Amy Sonnie said, "They wanted this space. All I have to do is let them have it. If there was a reason for me to come out to work today and not be out striking, this is it." Which brings us back to the toddlers.
The Brigade included about 200 parents with their toddlers and some school-age children. Before this, there was also a "Children's Brigade" to draw in an older crowd, which consisted mostly of kids aged five to twelve.
Jenny Sherrbi, an Oakland mother, said, "Cuts to schools have an impact on kids. We need to show everyone that the Occupy Oakland protesters aren't just hippies. I love the hippies, but this crisis involves families. This is about our kids' futures."
Her son, Liam, age five, said, "I think this event is very serious and very important. What police are doing is wrong." Many of the protesting children vented their anger at the economy by shooting bubbles from bubble guns. Others whacked tambourines. The children's singalong group Rockin' Kids-Sing-Along provided song.
In front of the public library, kids drew what could be interpreted as anti-corporate chalk drawings. One chalk drawing said, "This pie is wrong."
Over in the library's West Auditorium, high schoolers gathered. In an event organized by the Asian/Pacific Islander Youth Promoting Advocacy Leadership, about 60 students gathered in one room for a teach-in. In one game, 10 students sat down in 10 chairs, with 10% written on each chair. As the game went on, seven people were asked to sit in six chairs, and a boy named Spencer got four chairs all his own. APYLP's Jay Conui, who led the teach-in, explained this was because, "Spencer has sunglasses." When asked how this made the students feel, one boy responded, "I'd like to beat Spencer up."
The Bay Area's best filmmakers show their stuff
This weekend, the San Francisco Film Society is showcasing some of the best filmmakers from around the Bay Area. It's part of an annual festival called Cinema By the Bay taking place at the New People Cinema in San Francisco's Japantown, and it's going on right now. SFFS programmer Sean Uyehara joined KALW contributor Kevin Robinson to talk about some of the most striking movies being shown this year. He started by talking about why they hold the Cinema by the Bay Festival.
* * *
SEAN UYEHARA: Cinema By the Bay is intended to shine a light on all of the great films that are made in the Bay Area. Also, work that's made about the Bay Area.
KEVIN ROBINSON: How long has the festival been going on?
UYEHARA: This is the third year, and it's grown each year. It's been really fascinating and wonderful to do because one of the ideas of the festival is to bring together different audiences that have relation or interest in the media that's being made here. And it's been a really good experiment in seeing different people talk to each other and talk to artists.
ROBINSON: You brought a couple clips, so let's dive right into those. First and foremost, let's talk about The Bat. It's a silent film from the '20s, correct?
UYEHARA: Yeah, it's by a director named Roland West. It's actually the precursor to the comic book Batman. Yeah, it's one of the main influences on that comic book series. It's like a thriller/comedy. It's about these people who are in a mansion that are looking for loot in the mansion, and they're getting picked off by this vigilante called "the Bat." So it's a really fun film. And then the musician Ava Mendoza, she's an avant garde guitarist. She's based in Oakland. And I was lucky enough to get her to agree to create a new score for the film. And she's going to be playing with Nick Tamburo on drums. So they're going to be playing live on Friday, November 4th.
ROBINSON: Sean, one subject that's really, really big – I don't think people realize how big it is – is sex trafficking. Mimi Chakarova, who's from the Bay – or she lives in the Bay, now – she has a film called The Price of Sex. You want to talk about that?
UYEHARA: Yeah. What she did was she actually went undercover to investigate sex trafficking rings. And it's a pretty dangerous thing that she did, but she followed different prostitution rings in different countries, and she came up with some really harrowing results. But I think that we're the better for knowing about it. In this clip she's talking about how different women are priced in different parts of the world, and how prostitution is looked at in different cultures.
ROBINSON: Okay, let's take a listen to the clip from the film The Price of Sex.
CHAKAROVA (FROM MOVIE): Price depends on nationality. Chinese women go for the lowest price. Then Africans and Eastern Europeans. Middle-Eastern women fetch the highest amount: up to $1000 per night. The women spill out of the clubs at 3am. Men bargain for discounts. The taxis take them to the hotels. And when the call to prayer sounds at dawn, it reminds a woman their shift has ended.
ROBINSON: Now you brought a clip from another film called Where's My Stuff. Tell us about that film.
UYEHARA: It's a pretty funny film. It takes place right during the dot-com bust. And it's focused on this idea of a storage company that goes under like so many other online dot-com organizations. And the main character, Donovan, thinks, well, "Now all my stuff is gone." But his friend convinces him to go on a pilgrimage of stuff to go find his lost crate of stuff. He doesn't even know what's in it anymore. And it's kind of a funny take on materialism, the structure of business, and sort of the weird idiosyncracies of different people who store their things. So, it's pretty funny.
ROBINSON: And, the clip we're going to be listening to? Can you tell us about that?
UYEHARA: The clip is a setup of the film overall. It features an interview of one of the executives of this storage company gone under, and the helplessness that follows when you've put your trust in a company that just disappears overnight.
ROBINSON: Okay, let's take a listen to the clip from Where's My Stuff.
(FROM MOVIE): Hey, what did you guys do with all the crates … (EDS. NOTE: SHORTENED FOR CLARITY) … I don't care about your package. I just want you to tell me where the crates are.
ROBINSON: You just heard a clip from Where's My Stuff directed by local fillmmaker Sam Burbank. It's part of this year's Cinema By the Bay. So Cinema By the Bay – what's your take on Bay Area cinema and filmmakers and where they are today and in California and the rest of the United States.
UYEHARA: Well, the Bay Area has traditionally been known as something of a hotbed for documentary and advocacy filmmaking. And it certainly is one of the stronger parts of Bay Area filmmaking, currently. The Price of Sex would certainly fall into that, you know. But one thing that's burgeoning and I think is becoming stronger is the development of fiction feature-length work. So we have two films like that, we have Where's My Stuff and I Think It's Raining. And I think that overall the collection of flimmakers that are up-and-coming in San Francisco are turning themselves more toward that fiction aesthetic overall.

That's Sean Uyehara with the San Francisco Film Society. He spoke with Kevin Robinson, who works with Medium Rare, highlighting the work of women and people of color in the broadcast entertainment industry. KALW's Jayme Catsouphes produced that piece.

Remembering the 1946 Oakland General Strike
In 1946, the wars in Europe and the Pacific had ended and the country was in transition from a wartime economy to peacetime. Many women in Oakland had been used to union wages. So, in November of 1946, female workers at two department stores in downtown Oakland went on strike. It shut down the city for days, and about a quarter of the city's population – more than 100,000 people – supported the strike that's more than one hundred thousand people.
Labor historian spoke with KALW's Holly Kernan to remember Oakland's last general strike.
* * *
GIFFORD HARTMAN: The end of November 1946… women at department stores in Oakland, two department stores, Khan's and Hastings, had been on strike for a month. The city elite decided to break the strike. They brought in 400 police who escorted a professional strike-breaking company on December 1, 1946, and they ran through the city. The cops cleared the streets, beat people off the streets, bullied them and broke the strike, but in breaking the strike they catalyzed.
Angry street car drivers coming through on December 1, 1946, had seen the strike being broken and refused to go though the picket lines that the cops had assembled around the department stores and really sparked off the general strike. They were joined by other transit operators, bus drivers, and soon the whole city was alive with people just flooding downtown, filling the streets and joining together as what they called a "work holiday."
Overall 130,000 people in Oakland stopped work. They went out in solidarity and shut the city down to say that they stood together with the department store clerks at Khan's and Hastings.
HOLLY KERNAN: And this big mass of people, a quarter of the population of Oakland, what is it that they were asking for?
HARTMAN: They were asking that the rights of the workers at Khan's and Hastings be honored. That they'd be able to have a stable work life which meant a union contract, better wages, and a work situation where they had the rights that had been fought for really in the '30s.
It was a continuation of the organizing drives saying that people won't put up with the kind of wages which were non-livable. It was at the time when prices were rising. Things like food was going up 28%; wages were static and people were saying, "We need to kind of fight together to make a better life."
People remember other strikes, especially the 34th strike in San Francisco, and they knew that the media was going to spread this information. So one of the first things they did is send picket lines to the main newspapers.
The ruling elite that really ran Oakland were the Nolans. They shut down their tribune. Hearst ran the newspaper called the Post Enquirer; they set up a picket line and shut it down. They went to Alameda to shut down the Times Star. They went to Berkeley; they shut down the Daily Gazette. They just said that no media except the ones created by the strikers would be allowed on the streets, and that included the solidarity of teamsters who refused to bring the San Francisco daily papers across the bridge into Oakland. And it was a way to say, "We won't allow the media to demonize and undermine our strike."

As the day started on the East Coast this Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008, the Gulf Coast and inland Texas were feeling the powerful effects of Hurricane Ike.
It is still too early to know how much devastation the storm has caused but early indications suggest Ike was as terrible as forecasters and officials feared it would be.
Our prayers and thoughts are with those in the storm's path and the rescuers who will be putting their lives on the line to help those now at greatest risk.

The average price of regular gasoline has dropped six cents to $3.78 per gallon in the last two weeks. That is 12 cents less than the price was this time last year.
The price peaked this year in April and has dropped 18 cents since then. Experts said falling crude oil prices could cause gasoline prices to drop another five to ten cents in the coming weeks.
In North Carolina, the average regular gallon of gas is $3.56.

Re: rainbow six vegas 3
No one's really sure... I personally hope there will be a third Vegas, but most people will say that there will be NO more Vegas, since Ubisoft confirmed that they would not make another, although I found THIS link, which shows something hidden about a possible RSV 3 in the Ubidays 08 trailer which has been overlooked for a while.
"Something you might've missed on the Ubidays 2008 event back on May 28th was the below "10 Years of Tom Clancy Games" trailer. Not only does it briefly show past games, it also touts hints at unannounced upcoming Tom Clancy games with the line: "The Future Will Be Explosive." The CGI footage shows Rainbow Six: Vegas 3, GRAW 3 (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 3), Splinter Cell (Conviction?), and HAWX (High Altitude Warfare Experimental Squadron).
After 10 years of best-selling games, what's next? Watch this Tom Clancy trailer to see for yourself.
As part of Ubisoft's earnings report a month ago, the developer mentioned it had a pair of unannounced sequels in existing franchises set for release by the end of March 2009."

Mike Florio Loves Aaron Rodgers!
In case you haven't heard, Pro Football Talk head honcho Mike Florio called out Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers earlier this week for not signing an autograph for a cancer survivor.
There was a video of Rodgers passing by the woman, Jan Cavanaugh, on his way through the airport without stopping.
Florio lit into Rodgers for not knowing "where his money comes from," i.e. the fans. He was especially pissed because Cavanaugh had cancer.
Yes, I read the post and then decided to ignore it. My reasoning was two-fold.
First, I didn't care. No celebrity has any duty to sign anything for anyone, just like I don't have to be cordial towards Minnesota Vikings fans and you can pretend you're working while you're reading this blog. It's a free fucking country.
Second, I thought Florio's holier-than-thou approach was heavy-handed and out of line. It was based on a three-second video clip and nothing else. Those of us in the blogging world who've actually been what the mainstream media (and the Green Bay Packers PR department) would refer to as real journalists know that doesn't make a story.
Frankly, I didn't want to give such a piece of crap piece of work any notoriety or traffic.
After Florio's initial post, the shitstorm started. Florio was called all kinds of things, accusations were made, and he responded by trashing Rodgers some more.
Awful Announcing has a fabulous summary of the whole thing, including some spot-on commentary, if you care to go more in-depth.
Anyway, this nugget came out next — Rodgers had signed some memorabilia for Cavanaugh the previous week. Cavanaugh even took the time to defend Rodgers and said she was tired of the attention.
Florio still wasn't convinced, essentially belittling Rodgers again for walking by Cavanaugh at the airport.
Again, I didn't care to pay it any attention.
Pretty simply, the whole thing was the work of a hack. It smelled like a traffic grab to me — knowing the passion of Green Bay Packers fans, why not write something to incense them so they come back repeatedly to comment?
Whatever it was, it ended with Florio apologizing to Rodgers, Packers fans and Cavanaugh.
I've had two nights to sleep on it and plenty of other time to think about it. Once my anger at being wrongfully accused of running a payola scheme subsided and my Italian nature to never give in wore off, I realized that I felt bad. And I realized that I'd only feel better if I apologized.
Now that these meaningful and important matters have been addressed, I'd like to get back to talking about Green Bay Packers football, if that's alright with you?
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
Mike Florio is such a D-bag, honestly who reports something so stupid in the week of the NFC Championship Game! There was a reason NOBODY else was talking about this. Did anybody notice how quick WBAY was to drop the clip off of there website and stop talking about it. If I was a packer I would gather the team together and say fuck off to anything NBC for a while and tell them we refuse to do any interviews with them, along with WBAY!
Just a question… This past summer or spring my step mom (a vikes fan through and through… we tease each other about favre lots) forwards me an article via email of a teacher or school in the GB area where AR and some other packers show up unannounced (to media at least) to a local classroom and they spend time with the kids in the class. Anybody have a lead to this article? Sorry, I don't have any other info on it.

I bring you into the room, your eyes closed like I asked you to. You feel the plastic sheet on the floor and wonder what have you gotten yourself into? I stand behind you and tell you to open your eyes now. Youlook at yourself in the full length mirror, the white lingerie makes your skin look darker. You watch as I start slowly pouring the oil down the nape of your neck. You watch as the material becomes transparent and shiny. Your breasts show thru like your were wearing nothing at all. You pick up the other bottle of oil and start to cover me as it turns into a contest to see who gets covered first. We drop the empty bottles and embrace each other and start to massage each other to make sure not an inch of skin was missed. As massaging turns into grouping I turn you around so that I have a better position to play with your breasts and nipples. I reach down and put my hand inside your panties and play with your wet hot pussy. You bend at the waist and rub your oily ass up and down against my cock as you are starting to lose control. I pull you down to the floor and bend you over, you are supprised as I pull your panties aside and stick a vibrator into your hot pussy. Then it's my turn to be surprised as you start to buch your hips in rhythm to the thrusts of the vibrator. You look over at yourself in the mirror and are shocked at what you see. You look like a wild animal eyes wide, nostrils flared, your breathing a mixture of panting and moaning. Nothing but the primal urge controlling your whole body as you're to the point that only one thing will satisfy you now as your thrusts become faster and more frenzied. Your body convulses as you reach an explosive orgasm. You lie on the floor in a heap and whimper as I slowly remove the vibrator from your dripping hot pussy. Slowly you return to your senses and look over at me, I notice a change in you as in just a moment your face goes from a look of serine contentment back to that look of a wild animal. I sense the roles are now reversed, that you've gone from the shy submissive to the aggressive dominate who knows that she wants to take charge of her pleasure. You rise up to your knees and straddle my waist. Reaching up I pull your top down letting your breasts fall free. Your nipples are already puffy as I start to fondle them. You tell me to suck on them which I am all too happy to do. You start rocking your hips forward and back pressing your pussy hard against me. I can feel the heat of your passion as you grind yourself against me and I wonder how long this will go on as I'm dieing to be inside you. The panties have slid up and are now tight inside you and up the crack of your ass. You reach down pulling them out and ripping them to pieces so only a tattered remnant of them remain. Reaching over to the pile of toys you pick up this cute little butt plug and dip in some oil reach around back and just pop it in. My cock has been hard for a long time now as you take it in your hand and slide down onto it. I slid in you so easily with all the lubrication. The heat from you isamazing! Above me sliding back and forth with your nipples just barely touching my chest they are rock hard now. With my hands I cup them, running my thumbs over the nipples trying to excite you even more. Our bodies are so slick that I have problems staying in you. We pull apart and I move behind you. You thrust your ass in the air offering yourself to me and I glide right in. Using my hands I pull you upright so I can fondle your breasts as I slowly pump away trying to fill you with pleasure. Before long we begin a frenzied motion that makes it impossible to stay in this position. You lie flat on your stomach as I lock your legs together with my knees and with my hands curled under you grabing your sholders. My every thrust slamming not only into your hot pussy but driving the butt plug every time.It seems like for ever but quickly we are both coming as I try to drive as deep into you as I can, at the last moment I pull out and you roll over so I can spray all over your breasts. We collapse into a heap as exhaustion over takes us. We lay there spent, catching our breath and letting our hearts slow down to normal. We untangle ourselves and help each other unsteadily to our feet. You look at yourself in the mirror and see that your hair is disheveled and has a mind of it's own from the oil, your top is bunched up under your breasts, the nipples hard and taunt, the torn panties don't cover you at all and the thigh highs are down to your knees being held up only by the oil. But that animal look is still in your eyes. You look at me and say "that was kinky, what's next?"

BackupPC is a fast, enterprise-grade backup system. It provides
a web-based user interface. It supports several platforms (Unix-like,
Windows, MacOSX) to backup to a disk-based storage.
No client-side software is necessary, as the BackupPC server uses
several protocols (smb, rsync, tar and ftp) native to the client OS.
File-level deduplication combined with optional compression minimizes
the disk space needed to store the backups and disk I/O and enables
synthetic backups to reduce network traffic.
BackupPC is not a block-level backup system but performs file-based
backup and restore. Thus it is not suitable for backup of disk
images or raw disk partitions.
BackupPC supports laptop environments with clients on dynamic
IP addresses (DHCP) not always connected to the network.

change command_interpreter from /usr/bin/perl to ${PREFIX}/bin/perl
Several ports had rc.d scripts with hardcoded command_interpreter string
as /usr/bin/perl. This symlink is not guaranteed to be in place, and it
isn't even an option for perl 5.20. For affected ports, the interpreter
was changed to localbase.
In one case, the interpreter was correct, but it wasn't surround by
quotes. Since the rc.d script would break if a space was contained in
${PREFIX}, quotes were added in that case.

The foods that people love are varied, so there's no surprise to learn that someone wanted the world to hear their praise for Veganaise.
We know it as a condiment stocked in the Produce section, in the cold case opposite Mermaid Sushi. We may not all know, though, that it is also a quiet star in several Deli recipes, including our Tofu Cashew Spread. Perhaps there's something to this:
"As I tried it on a range of foods both plain and jazzed up with various extras like sriracha, slowly but surely, I realized its motto was right. Vegenaise, shockingly, tastes better than mayo. As an added bonus, it has less saturated fat and cholesterol than the regular stuff. And while many meat substitutes have ingredient lists that read like a science experiment, Vegenaise actually has no additives or preservatives. I've also noticed that after indulging, I do not have that same heavy, weighed-down feeling in my stomach that I've come to associate with a hearty dose of the egg-based stuff."

Let a Hundred Dams Fill; Let a Hundred Ideas Float Around: Will Tony Abbott's Big Policy Idea Sink Without a Trace?
"Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend" - Mao Zedong.
In 1956 Mao launched his "One Hundred Flowers" movement. Its stated purpose was to encourage more open debate in a regime which abhorred the idea of free thought. Unfortunately for Chinese liberals, the campaign took off just before the Hungarian uprising and after a short time this liberalisation campaign was abandoned. Those who had been naïve enough to think this represented a new era in the Chinese Communist Party and had spoken out were rounded up and shipped off to places where flowers never bloomed. Mao later claimed that the purpose of the "One Hundred Flowers" movement was to "entice the snakes out of their caves".
The recent revelation that the Abbott Opposition has produced a policy document of sorts proposing up to 100 dams across the country marks an interesting phase in Abbott's policy development. Despite the fact that the document was the work of a Coalition Taskforce of Parliamentarians and had a foreword written by its chairman, Andrew Robb, it apparently has no official status. Tony Abbott has said that the document, which contains plans for $30 billion worth of dam projects, is just a discussion paper. My guess is that the purpose in leaking it was almost certainly to test public reaction to the proposals contained in it and then to abandon or dramatically reduce its ambit if opinion is too negative. Its release at this point in the electoral cycle also served his purpose as it allows him to say that he is not, as the Government contends, a "policy free zone". So, let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend.
The fact that the Opposition has gone down this path shows that they understand how incredibly contentious the construction of dams are in the communities where they are to be built. The remarkable ability of dams to unite in opposition conservative rural communities and environmentalists probably matches that of the anti-coal seam gas movement, which has also created an unlikely alliance of greenies and farmers. Abbott's major challenge is to show Australians he has a "big picture" vision for the country. This is essential if he is to be seen as a leader of any substance, rather than the negative conservative activist he has managed to paint himself as in his time in politics. However, there will be Coalition MPs around the nation lining up to say, "not in my backyard, Tony. Demonstrate your vision in some other electorate – preferably in another State".
Abbott's problem is that while the plan is essentially a rehash of numerous failed proposals from years gone by to harness the potential of the Top End, it also specifies projects to raise Warragamba Dam near Sydney as well as new ones in the Hunter Valley and Central Highlands of NSW and the Lachlan. The danger this paper poses is not lost on conservative politicians – particularly Bob Baldwin whose Hunter Valley seat of Paterson is a likely host to one of these planned dams. He went straight onto Twitter to assert "There will be no Tilligra (sic) Dam built in the Hunter". This is a reference to the proposed Tillegra which was planned for the Hunter but was abandoned after years of protests.
This is the story of dam proposals around the country. When, following years of drought, in 2006 the Beattie Government proposed a dam across the Mary River at Traveston Crossing near Gympie in South East Queensland, all hell broke loose. Now Gympie is hardly a heartland of leftist and environmental activism, in fact, it was once a "One Nation" stronghold. However, within a very short time a coalition of environmentalists, farmers, fishers, aboriginal groups and importantly, politicians of all political colour, was formed to oppose the dam. It brought the Queensland Labor Government into conflict with its federal cousins and finally, after six years of rancour, protest and legal action, the proposed dam was finally abandoned in November last year. It is little wonder therefore, that the last dam of any size to be built in Australia was in 1987 – 25 years ago. The list of conflicts around the construction of dams reads like the battle honours on a military banner – Lake Pedder, Gordon, Franklin, Traveston, Tillegra, the Daly and so on.
The Gillard Government and the Labor Party have a real opportunity now to run campaigns across the country – pointing to the dams listed in this "Discussion Paper" and reminding voters that an Abbott Government has one planned for their back yards. This is where the government needs to show it can match Abbott with effective field campaigns, just he has done over issues like the Carbon Tax and asylum seekers. I have a hunch though, that just like Mao's "One Hundred Flowers" movement, this "Let a Hundred Dams Fill" campaign will be a short lived venture into "big picture" thinking by Tony Abbott.
