United States Federal Government - Government Documents Information
Lockwood Library became a selective federal government depository in 1963. The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) forwards to depository libraries copies of government publications without charge. Selective depositories receive only those items they choose to acquire. Depositories assume the responsibility of making the documents available to the entire community when receiving them gratis.
In UB's context, that means the University community, as well as the public at large. The Government Documents Collection receives approximately 64% of the documents available. Click here for a more detailed description of the depository system and click here for an audio description.
Although becoming a depository late, the UB Libraries still hold a wide variety of Congressional materials and census publications from the eighteenth century, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Most federal government titles owned by UB are listed in the Libraries Catalog. U.S. federal documents are located on the first floor of Lockwood Library.
The following information will also help locate government publications.

Did you read about the near-miss in Barcelona this weekend? Have any wild airplane experiences to share?
I dont fly often, but I have been in a plane twice that had to abort landing and do a go-around because the runway was not clear. I feel like this has to be a somewhat common occurrence for busy airports, or its just a coincidence that it has happened to me twice in my maybe 25 air trips.
I should really avoid this thread as I fly to DC for my first plane ride ever in a few months.
I'm literally at the airport right now waiting for my flight. Thanks for this post.

yeah, you should probably close this thread. Or look at the silver lining that everyone posting their stories obviously survived.

Meh, working in the aviation industry, I know that Air is the safest form of travel. Not worried about the crashing and dying as much as the turbulence and getting sick as a first time flyer.
I threw up on first flight as a part of the Flying Cyclones club (Cessna 182). Couldn't find the barf bag...that was a wild ride.

My plane got hit by a service truck sitting at the gate. Hard enough it knocked me off my feet. That was my second time flying.
On the way home from my honeymoon we got struck by lightning. I thought we were done on that one.
Not a close call or incident, but my favorite plane ride was on the way to Australia for study abroad. The plane was filled with 90% college students doing the same thing and this was back when booze was free on international flights. It wad a crazy party in the sky. A guy I was traveling with passed out twice on the way there.
Apparently the plane on the LEFT has the right of way.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
Going from Denver to Seattle and we are on the runway picking up speed to take off, when I notice this brown looking fluid running across the bottom of the overhead bins. I am looking back at the stewardess, you know the 50+ year old lady trying to look like a 20 year old, and point this out to her and she just gives me this glare like what are you talking about look. The gal in front of me was in panic mode at the time almost ready to freak out. The steward then looks at the overhead bins and finds nothing. She wipes it off and we land in Seattle a couple of hours later. Had no idea what it was or the origin of it.
Not a plane, rather a chopper, but on my 29th birthday we were flying to a FOB on the Pakistan border and just as we got over a small group of mountains, we dropped probably 20 or so feet. I thought for certain that was going to be it for me.
So far as a pilot I have been pretty lucky. Only slightly scary things I have had are nearly hitting birds while on final, having someone give the same position report as me in the pattern and hitting random updrafts that very briefly knock you around.
Had a plane abort a landing probably 25 feet above the runway because of windshear. Lady behind me threw up all over the floor it was so rough.
Not really wild, but I was on a flight from MSP->DSM that left 2 hrs late, circled the DSM airport 6 times and returned to MSP. We landed at 2am, and then rented a car and drove to DSM. I had to work the next morning.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
We were on our way back from Puerto Vallarta to Chicago for our senior trip, and for some reason the charter we were on (an airline called Planet Air) miscalculated fuel and we had to stop in Lincoln, Nebraska to refuel. It was a freaking hot day, and they had to turn of the AC while refueling, so naturally, the cabin turned into an oven.
As we picked up speed to takeoff from Lincoln, condensation from the AC poured out of the overhead bins. Naturally, everyone on board thought it was smoke and freaked out. One kid ran down the aisle screaming "SMOKE" at the top of his lungs. The pilot then came onto the intercom and explained to everyone what was happening, and order was restored, but for about 3 seconds, I started to see my life flash before my eyes.

Iranian warships heading for United States waters are not much of a threat. The naval mission is nothing more than sabre rattling. According to Reno Gazette-Journal Feb. 10, a former advisor downplayed any threat that the warships may pose.
The ships pose almost no danger because 'They have no capability whatsoever,' said Gary Samore, a former advisor to President Obama on arms control, prevention of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism.
Iranian warships are part of a "fleet" sent to the Atlantic Ocean near United States waters according to Iranian naval commander Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad. The intent is to show the U.S. what Iran is capable in the event that that actually had nuclear weapons.
The Iranian warships preempt a meeting of the U.S., Iran and others on Feb 18 to discuss their nuclear program. Iranian officials have repeatedly called their nuclear program "peaceful."
Any nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles on Iranian warships could pose a threat, but that would be much further down the road. They would then potentially possess the capability to strike any where on the East coast from their warships just outside of U.S. territorial waters.
The Iranian warships are in response to increased war games being held by the U.S. Navy's 5th fleet, which is based in Bahrain, in the Persian Gulf near Iran.

BRUSSELS — European authorities geared up to travel to Ireland and lift the lid on just how bad the country's debt woes are, as EU finance ministers struggled Wednesday to hammer out a rescue plan to keep the market turmoil from spreading to Portugal and Spain.
Irish and EU officials had vowed the day before to stabilize the banks at the center of the country's financial crisis to restore confidence in the wider 16-nation eurozone, but fell short of agreeing a bailout. On Wednesday, Britain — which has made savage austerity cuts to avoid a debt crisis of its own — also offered help to protect its heavily exposed banks.
Ireland insists it does not want a bailout because it has enough money through the middle of next year and is wary of the strings attached to a rescue by the International Monetary Fund. But EU countries are worried that the turmoil is spreading to affect other highly-indebted countries like Portugal.
Representatives of the EU, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund will be in Dublin on Thursday to examine both the government and banks' accounting books.
Meanwhile, Britain offered support on top of any that might come from the eurozone.
Britain "stands ready to support Ireland" in whatever the debt-stricken country needs to do to stabilize its troubled banking system, said Finance Minister George Osborne. The U.K. is a member of the EU but not of the eurozone.
"It is natural (that the U.K. would be interested in helping to stabilize Ireland), because the United Kingdom and U.K. banks have a very, very significant exposure in Ireland," said the EU's monetary affairs chief Olli Rehn.
Ireland has taken over three banks and is expected to take over more in a bailout that has already reached €45 billion ($61 billion) and likely will push the nation's 2010 deficit to a staggering 32 percent of GDP. The government in Dublin insists it doesn't need a bailout from Europe, but growing doubts about Ireland's ability to pay its bills have sent interest rates soaring on Irish bonds.
Those concerns have also worsened the debt crisis for other vulnerable European countries, pushing borrowing costs up to an extent that threatens to destabilize the common euro currency.
The priority for European leaders is containing a contagion, and many think a concrete response is the only solution.
Underlining the importance of a decision on Ireland for the banking sector in the wider eurozone, Josef Ackermann, the chief executive of Deutsche Bank AG also attended Wednesday's meeting of finance ministers.
"A breakout of any state on the markets right now would lead to contagion and we want to avoid this with all means," Ackermann said. "We have to do everything to catch every country that runs into trouble."
Behind Ireland stands Portugal, one of the eurozone's smaller members with 1.8 percent of its economy but one that is considered by some to have done less than the Irish to bring debt and deficits back under control. Next comes Spain, with a proportionally smaller debt burden but a dead-in-the-water economy that is so big — 11.7 percent of eurozone output — that it could present a much larger challenge if it needs help.
The extent of political tensions over paying for state bailouts was underscored Wednesday after Austria claimed the next installment in Greece's international bailout loan would be delayed, a claim promptly rejected by EU and Greek officials. Austria said it is concerned that Greece will not be able to cut its deficit as much as expected.
Governments struggling with debt — built up during the recession and in some cases over years of living beyond their means — have slashed spending and raised taxes. But such austerity measures threaten to undermine desperately needed economic growth, in turn making it harder for nations to repay their debts.

I found this creative space via Flickr. It was designed and finished by designer, creator, writer, stylist, consultant and photographer (wowzer) Elizabeth Maxson who uses it as her personal home office. Elizabeth painted all of the walls, flooring and furniture. One of the details that makes this space work so well is the neutral, rich colors she used. They are continued in everything and it gives the space a real finished look. Bravo Elizabeth!

We have finally decided to rip out our carpet in a few rooms. Most of the rooms downstairs will be getting new flooring. Yay! The first room to receive new wood floors is our front room. I guess you could call it our sitting room. I want to turn it into a reading/playing/working room for the kids and us. The kids have a playroom upstairs but when mommy and daddy are downstairs, they want nothing to do with upstairs. Anyways, for this room I am ready to embark into white wood floors. I will be sure to share with everyone how I feel about them, positive or negative. I am sure it will be positive! My hubby is going to start installing them tomorrow. Cant wait!
Below are a few inspiration images for white wood floors.

Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey!! It has helped me gain new perspective. I definitely know what is going to be cut and what is going to be added. You were all very clear on a few things which I appreciate. If you haven't filled out the survey yet, please feel free to do so here. I now need to organize my thoughts. Hopefully my thoughts can be as organized as the image above! (Which happens to be one of my favorite Sneak Peeks ever on Design* Sponge.)
Hey peeps! I hope your week started off great yesterday. I just remembered that I never posted pics of my new birthday bedding that my hubby got me. I twittered about it but forgot to post it. I have to be honest. Since my venture into Brass Razoo, Simply Grove has taken a bit of a back seat. This is not my permanent intent with SG. These last couple months have been quite busy and it has been at times challenging to find the time to do everything. Now that I have more of an understanding of my schedule, I feel more confident in my decisions. Now back to SG, I need your help! Can you fill out a survey for me? Pretty please? I am planning on taking some new steps with SG but before I do that, I need you! Its only 10 questions and the questions are super easy to answer. If you would like to help me out, go here. Thank you!
These are updated images of my bedroom.
See you all soon!! xx

Happy weekend everyone!! I hope that you have a great weekend and I hope that you do lots of fun things. I'm going to try and do some thrifting and garage sales tomorrow depending on the weather. Rumor has it that it is supposed to be thunderstorms all weekend. Hmmm. Do you enjoy touring garage sales?
I love this mini hallway makeover that Belinda of The Happy Home just completed. I am so into black and white stripes right now. It goes with anything and everything. The art wall looks great too!!
Exciting news! Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind is HGTV's newest blogger. Every Wednesday you can tune into HGTV and watch Erin and her husband Ken's gutted renovation of their home in the Midwest. They are transforming it from a rancher to a Scandinavian cabin. I cannot wait to see what they have in store for their home. Everything that Erin does is amazing, so I have full confidence in this renovation!! Yay Erin!!!

More from Yountville: Thanksgiving treats from Bouchon Bakery, Festival of Lights
With a short week and the Thanksgiving holiday rapidly approaching, our posting schedule is going to be a bit off over the next few days.
Regardless, here are a couple news bits worth sharing before many of us check-out for a few days.
Annual Festival of Lights Friday in Yountville
The town of Yountville will host the 21st Annual 'Festival of Lights' starting this Friday (11/27). The free event starts at 2pm and as always local wineries and restaurants will line the streets to offer food and wine samples (tickets are $1 each).
Having personally attended the past few years, there will be plenty of activities for children, including the opportunity to have their photo taken with Old Saint Nick. Once the sun sets the 'town lighting' will take place and thousands of white lights will illuminate the sky (this was our little one's favorite part last year). The festival continues through the month of December with various special events.
Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery rolls out Thanksgiving treats
As usual, the folks at Bouchon Bakery have come up with some beautiful looking and tasty treats for the Holidays.
In celebration of Thanksgiving, you can now enjoy the Huckleberry Crumble Pie ($30, serves 6-8), which is described as a "…reinvention of the classic fruit pie" and includes fresh Huckleberry topped with homemade streusel. The bakery is also featuring a Pumpkin Pie ($30, serves 6-8) that features house made pumpkin custard topped with mascarpone cream and pumpkin streusel, a Bourbon Pecan Pie ($30, serves 6-8) that is topped with chocolate ganache and a Cranberry Currant Loaf ($6 each), which is the bakery's house made bread fused with fresh cranberries and currants.
The pies are only available through Thanksgiving, while the Cranberry Currant Loaf will be around for a bit longer.

Bon Secours Cancer Institute Launches Center of Excellence for Peritoneal Surface Malignancies
The Bon Secours Cancer Institute is launching a Center of Excellence for Peritoneal Surface Malignancies. Led by nationally recognized surgical oncologist Dr. Itzhak Avital, M.D., the Center will study and apply the latest evidence-based treatments for cancer of the surface of the peritoneum, the tissue that makes up the inner lining of the abdomen. Often cancers of the other abdominal organs, including the colon, ovaries and appendix, spread to this tissue. Days ago, Dr. Avital performed the first hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in central Virginia. The Bon Secours Cancer Institute is one of a small group of facilities in the nation to offer this highly specialized treatment.
"For many patients with peritoneal surface malignancies and various types of gastric cancer, HIPEC is the only way to extend their lives," said Itzak Avital, M.D., executive medical director of the Bon Secours Cancer Institute. "Through the Center of Excellence, we will continue to follow the latest in evidence-based treatments for these types of cancer to benefit our patients at Bon Secours Virginia."
Peritoneal surface malignancies are most often treated with a combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC. First, the surgeon physically removes any visible tumors through CRS. Then, while the patient is still in surgery, heated chemotherapy is circulated throughout the affected area in order to destroy tiny, invisible cancer cells. HIPEC allows for extremely high doses of heated chemotherapy in a concentrated area, improving absorption and reducing side effects.
Dr. Avital comes to Bon Secours from the National Cancer Institute, where he served on the faculty. He is a nationally recognized expert in the management of complex, advanced cancers, especially of the hepatobiliary system. He received his medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine andcompleted his surgical residency at Cedars Sinai Medical Center at the UCLA School of Medicine. He completed four postgraduate fellowships, including study of surgical research at the bioartificial liver support laboratory and study of the hepatobiliary system at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and is listed in the 2012 Guide to America's Top Surgeons.
"Dr. Avital is a leader in the field of cancer research, surgery and treatment," said Sherry Fox, vice president of the Bon Secours Cancer Institute. "We are honored to celebrate his leadership of our team by opening this Center of Excellence, which will provide hope for patients and families battling rare cancers."
The Bon Secours Cancer Institute provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary and evidence-based cancer treatment, as well as support and survivorship programs for oncology patients in central Virginia. Recognized for excellence in cancer care by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, the Institute is comprised of highly skilled and specialized cancer specialists, including surgical oncologists, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists.

Another weekly dose of the best comics from April 2nd, 2014!
Book of the week: Quantum And Woody #9
If it feels like a while since the previous story line featuring the madcap adventures of this dysfunctional duo, that's only because it has been. Issue eight shipped in the middle of February, and March's zero issue was a one-shot filler issue chronicling the origin of the series' well known pet mascot. At long last, Valiant Comics' reboot of one of their most well known franchises kicks off its' third arc just shy of April's Fool Day, an unintended irony. Regular writer James Asmus is paired with the series' third artist, the bluntly named Kano, towards yet another arc which mixes the best of sitcom comedy with a satire of "superhero" comic books.
Having survived getting super powers, avenging their murdered father and escaping from a war zone, Eric and Woody Henderson have reunited to form one of comic book's most bizarre family units. Not only do the brothers have to "klang" their wrist bracelets to prevent being destroyed by their energy powers, they are also living with the teenage clone of one of their worst enemies and a super-powered goat. While Woody is enjoying the perks of romancing a pretty clone girl as well as of being a superhero, he remains just as selfish and irresponsible as ever. After an attempt to thwart some armored bank-robbers leads to even more carnage, Eric sets out to force his brother into acting responsibly for at least a day via hanging their father's inheritance over Woody's head. Meanwhile, Woody's ex "friend with benefits" Jacklean reenters his life just as Eric lands a new security gig protecting the Smithsonian Museum; which the duo suddenly plan to rob.
Although any reaction to fictional media is subjective, comedy can often be the most subjective of all, a whim to the taste of the particular audience. For me, James Asmus seems able to channel the sort of comic wit that the producers of "Married with Children" were able to harness, only have applied it to a superhero comic book. Virtually anything and everything is up for mockery, and a finger is avidly kept on the pulse of pop culture. At the same time, the foundation of the series is telling the story about two brothers (by adoption) who deep down do love each other, even if it's in the seemingly insane manner that most siblings/family members love each other. This naturally means having an artist who seems able to excel at both over-the-top superhero action as well as visual gags. Tom Fowler, a former artist for "MAD Magazine", was an effortless master at this. Ming Doyle, while a perfectly good artist, was perhaps not catering to her strength with such an assignment. Kano, whose past works involve "Action Comics", "Immortal Iron Fist", and "H-E-R-O", appears to be a harmonious fit with Asmus' zany script full of one-liners and visual gags.
Every panel of every page seems to be trying to get a laugh from the reader, which is only a problem when it fails. Fortunately, this issue nails it almost every time with some of the best laughs to be had in a comic in a good long while. It is also one of the best issues of this series in months. Fans who feel that far too many comic books featuring far too many costumed characters have been far too serious for far too long need to give this series a read. At least so long as one doesn't drink any liquid while doing so, lest the laughs spray all about.
Honorable mentions:
Archer & Armstrong #19: This is the penultimate chapter of "Mission Improbable", a four issue crossover this series is doing with the soon-to-be-canceled "Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps" during the spring. Although having to buy an extra title to follow this one is a pain, at the very least it appears to only be for two months. After gaining control of the worldwide cabal, "the Sect", Archer has been kidnapped by the psychic warriors and mercenaries of "Project Rising Spirit", whose origins tie into his own. Unfortunately, his skills as a warrior allow him to kick butt even while he's asleep, which buys time for Armstrong to find his way towards the Rising Spirit base. The duo find a surprising ally in Bloodshot himself, who seems to relate to Archer as a person "made" to be a weapon himself. While this crossover hasn't exactly made sure to completely flesh out the cast of the second title, Fred Van Lente manages to portray just enough that one never feels lost. One only needs to see these characters as part of yet another mysterious and dangerous cabal that the duo have to deal with, which fits in well with the premise of "Archer & Armstrong". Pere Perez continues to deliver strong pencil work, which is only augmented by longtime colorist David Baron; both are able to make both slapstick comedy and kinetic fight sequences all but sing on the page. Throughout his career, Van Lente has displayed an often overlooked ability to fluctuate between laugh-out-loud comedy and straightforward drama or action in his narratives; an ability which becomes harder to notice when done well but obvious as polka dots when done poorly. "Archer & Armstrong" continues to be a perfect franchise for displaying this talent in all it's glory, and not even a crossover has slowed him down. Mainstream comic books could use more crossovers like this, and less like "Fear Itself" or "Forever Evil".
Black Widow #5: Nathan Edmondson and master artist Phil Noto continue on their high octane run of special ops stories featuring Marvel Comics' iconic spy, the Natasha Romanova. Splitting her time between being a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and performing freelance spy gigs to fund charities, Natasha has found herself neck deep into a global conspiracy which has been circling her since the series began. Having finally defeated the "mad monk" Molot Boga, she finds herself trusting her information more than her instincts, and it finally catches up to her as she finds herself at the mercy of one of her deadliest, and rarest, enemies. Edmondson displays a much appreciated sense of history by dusting off Damon Dran, who hasn't appeared in a comic book since 1994 and is one of Black Widow's few "arch enemies". For the record, Dran was first created in 1972 during the run of "Daredevil" by Gerry Conway and Gene Colan in which Black Widow was the vigilante's partner who co-headlined the book with him. As always, the art is perfectly atmospheric, even if it does look rushed in places. So far, this has been another "hit" for Marvel Comics' "all-new Marvel NOW!" campaign. Perhaps if they had an ad for it during "Captain America: the Winter Soldier" or that little TV show on ABC about S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, it'd sell better.
Loki: Agent of Asgard #3: Al Ewing and Lee Garbett decide to take a break from their usual stories about a new and younger version of Loki trying to redeem himself to focus on the time traveling exploits of "old Loki" who can somehow still exist alongside him and has been scheming towards his own betterment for eons. To this end, "old Loki" has gone back to the days of his father Odin's youth and not only manipulated him into crafting a special sword, but has manipulated Asgard's first champion Sigurd into losing it as well. The duo manage to tell a mythical tale as well as Walter Simonson used to on "Thor", even if for the moment this can seem like merely a stop-gap issue towards bigger and better things to come. It is hard to find much fault with a yarn told and drawn as well as this, even if it seems to represent a larger problem that Marvel seem to have with this character at an editorial level. There seems to be a desire to capitalize on the younger, more dynamic and charismatic (especially to women) version of Loki as adapted by their "Marvel Studios" films. At the same time, there seems to be this reluctance to let go of the older, more classic Loki who was essentially a being who seemed convinced that "mischief" was the same as "evil". Kieron Gillen seemed to struggle with this during his long run with the character in "Journey into Mystery" and "Young Avengers", and now Ewing seems unable to decide and instead continues the insistence of two Loki's running about. This is the same editorial mixture of desperate commercialism and ham-handed effort that convinced an editorial board that Spider-Man getting a divorce was hopelessly out of character and a poor option, but selling the existence of his marriage to the devil himself (or his proxy) was more in keeping with his "every man" appeal. Overall, a solid issue, even if under the surface one wishes that Marvel would either poop or get off the pot on what version of Loki they want to tell stories about.
New Warriors #3: Chris Yost and Marcus To (alongside colorist David Curiel) continue along on their relaunch of one of Marvel's few teenage superhero series that isn't related to the X-Men. Although "Avengers Academy" and "Young Avengers" have handled such things to a better degree than "New Warriors" has this century, a long run during the 90's cements it as part of the wide Marvel lexicon. To this end, Yost has taken characters well known with the franchise as well as some newer characters and thrown them into a high stakes conflict against the High Evolutionary, and his squad of robotic beings that want to kill off anyone who isn't strictly "human". Every issue is always full of well drawn action, and this one is perhaps the best of the lot as the cast is split into two groups and get to interact with each other. Justice, Speedball, and Sun-Girl all disagree on how to treat new Inhuman Mark, who is clearly in over his head despite having a plot convenient super power. Meanwhile, Scarlet Spider, Hummingbird, and Faira have barely met, but they find themselves captives of the Evolutionary alongside Sam Washington, the new Nova. The interactions between these four are among the highlight of the issue. Unfortunately, this continues to be a series which isn't quite the sum of its' parts and assumes a lot of investment from its' readers in characters they may barely know. In addition, the decision to have the corporate logo of "Under Armour" appear every time Mark's sweat jacket is seen (completely with a "registered" trademark alongside) is the sort of in-story advertisement that Marvel Comics hasn't done since allowing characters from old "Hostess Twinkie" ads to become part of canon (i.e. Icemaster). Perhaps this "New Warriors" may have a lot of the mechanics of a superhero team comic displayed efficiently, it rarely seems to have a soul or purpose of its' own.
She-Hulk #3: Charles Soule, Javier Pulido and colorist Muntsa Vicente continue on their take on the quirky and adventurous caseload of Jennifer Walters. Tasked with trying to get Dr. Doom's adopted son, Kristoff Vernard, political asylum, Jen dives head first into a day of killer robots and limo rides all for a promise of a huge payday for her firm at the end. Although this issue is heavy on exposition, Pulido's artwork continues to dazzle as Soule does his best to play with both Jennifer's new client and supporting cast (Hellcat and the strange Angie). Although She-Hulk manages to win the day in court, she soon learns that Dr. Doom is not one to be told what he can't have. Kristoff Vernard is a character from 1990's era "Fantastic Four" comics who was quite fascinating, but often neglected. Soule has a good angle for him here, and puts him and Jennifer to good use. Alongside "Black Widow" and "Ms. Marvel", 2014 has quickly become a banner year for quality super heroine comics at the "house of ideas".

Janet Abelson
comments on the Plaza
Longtime El Cerrito resident Janet Abelson has filed to run for
City Council in the November election.
Janet is the mother of five children, the youngest of whom attends
Harding Elementary; the other four are graduates of El Cerrito public
Wife of former Mayor and Councilmember Howard Abelson, Janet is
a graduate of San Francisco State University, where she earned a
masters of business administration (MBA). She then worked as a systems
analyst at UC Berkeley.
Janet has been active in community affairs for many years. As Chair
of the El Cerrito Earth Day Celebration, she coordinates the efforts
of over 300 volunteers in this wonderful annual civic event. According
to Janet, "the efforts of citizen volunteers in beautifying our
city exemplifies the spirit that makes El Cerrito a special community."
For many years, Janet has volunteered with the local public schools
and has helped organize numerous school events. She served as president
of the PTA at both Harding Elementary and Portola Middle Schools,
and as an officer on the El Cerrito High School PTSA.
As a City Planning Commissioner, Janet approved plans to revive
El Cerrito Plaza. Abelson stated "I am proud to have taken an active
role in securing the approval by the Planning Commission of plans
for the renovation of El Cerrito Plaza. The Plaza has been deteriorating
for years and now we have finally turned the corner to making the
Plaza an attractive place for El Cerrito residents to shop. New
stores will contribute badly needed sales tax dollars which will
help maintain vital city services."
Janet is a nationally recognized expert on transportation and traffic
management issues. The National Academy of Sciences selected Janet
to serve, along with other transportation leaders, on several research
oversight committees. She also serves on many regional and local
transportation committees. The California Transportation Foundation
honored her as Citizen of the Year in 1998 for her significant contributions
to improving transportation in California. Her work on Bay Area
transportation issues earned her the Doris W. Kahn Accessible Transportation
Award in 1997 from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
Janet believes that, as a city council member, her extensive background
in transportation issues will bring insight in helping to address
the city's traffic congestion problems. As she says "the City Council
needs to take an active role in working cooperatively with Richmond
and Caltrans to solve these problems, especially in the Central
Avenue and Del Norte areas."
Some of Janet's other priorities, if elected, include restoring
El Cerrito parks and recreation facilities, maintaining our streets
and sidewalks in good repair, ensuring the continuation of high
quality police and fire protection, and expanding the economic vitality
of our community.
In her run for a City Council seat, Abelson has secured the early
endorsement of, among others, Congressman George Miller, County
Supervisor John Gioia, former El Cerrito Mayors Bob Bacon and Marge
Collins, and AC Transit Director Miriam Hawley.
She can be reached at email@example.com, voice 510-525-7709, fax

When my El Cerrito neighborhood gathered for a National Night Out
potluck, we eagerly devoured tidbits of news about the Plaza along
with our meal. Some of my neighbors were surprised to learn how
much progress has been made. New tenants have been signed, new buildings
are being designed, current tenants are relocating within the Plaza,
and the farmers market is thriving in its new location. I look forward
to the grand opening and to a much-needed infusion of sales tax
dollars to the city.
As a long-time resident and Plaza shopper, I was both saddened
and motivated by its decline. I took part in Plaza discussions and
public forums for several years. Recently, as a City Planning Commissioner,
I had the opportunity to help move the project forward. The Commission
approved the project at its first meeting, but not until we required
new sidewalks and streets within the Plaza that will make it easier
to get to BART, the Ohlone Greenway, and connecting streets.
Other positive features of the renovation include the undergrounding
of utilities, the opening-up of the creek near the Greenway, and
the small shops along Fairmount, which will give the area a more
"main street" feel. The Design Review Board worked especially hard
to make the buildings more architecturally pleasing. I am also pleased
that our current merchants will be joined by a mix of businesses
and restaurants selling a variety of goods and services. I look
forward to shopping and spending time at the renovated Plaza.
All of this was accomplished without public subsidy, unlike the
original plan for a monstrously sized WalMart or the revised plan
for a low-end, cookie-cutter strip mall. Similarly, the department
store plan would have required a large public subsidy. Unfortunately,
the department store owners would not invest in El Cerrito without
a large government handout. The community was wise to say no.
Instead, the Plaza owners and the new businesses invested millions
of their own dollars to revitalize the Plaza. Because we insisted
on a fiscally sound plan with an appropriate design and mix of stores,
the Plaza will be a much better place than it would otherwise have
I am committed to continuing the positive effort to improve the
Plaza and the surrounding area, as work begins on the Phase II plans,
the south side of the Plaza. There is a tremendous opportunity to
work with BART and the other property owners along Fairmount Avenue
to attract additional retail stores that can serve more of our shopping
Kathleen Perka
Kathleen Perka, a long-time resident who sparked a promising campaign
to attract a major department store here, filed papers Aug. 6 to
run for a seat on the City Council in the November election.
Perka gained recognition as a community leader last year when-despite
considerable skepticism--she led a campaign aimed at luring Gottschalks
to open a store in El Cerrito. The chain has expressed interest
in the concept.
"The fight to bring a quality department store here is far from
over," Perka said. "If there is a way to do it, I intend to continue
the effort if elected to the council."
However, Perka emphasized that she is not a one-issue candidate.
The store campaign, as well as her service on city groups, "prove
I'm capable of listening to the public, as well as thinking and
acting creatively in helping citizens of this community get what
they want and need." "With the continued support from the community
I'll be elected." she went on. "I intend to put the desires of the
people first, while being fiscally responsible at the same time."
Born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, Perka is a 21 year resident
of El Cerrito.
A graduate of The College of William and Mary in Virginia, before
coming to California she worked in Washington, D.C. as a Legislative
Assistant/Caseworker for several Members of Congress. Moving to
the Bay Area in 1978, she started a 13-year retail career which
saw her rise to the post of buyer for 22 Emporium stores in Northern
California after serving as assistant store manager of the firm's
branch in El Cerrito.
Active on the local civic scene, Perka has served as a member
of the Neighbor to Neighbor Task Force, the Services for the 21st
Century Committee and that group's Financial Review Team. Most recently
she has served as a member of the City's Process Team, a group responsible
for facilitating the community's participation in the development
of a revised General Plan for El Cerrito.
"My experience in business management," the candidate declared,
"should prove helpful in providing the fiscally responsible leadership
this city so desperately needs. My civic efforts demonstrate my
commitment to open and accountable government and sound planning
designed to meet the city's serious service and infrastructure needs."
Letitia Moore
The first candidate to file her candidacy papers,
Letitia Moore, is an El Cerrito Planning Commissioner and an environmental
attorney with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Letitia
filed on July 16, 1999.
A member of the Planning Commission since 1997, Letitia moved to
El Cerrito in 1996 to set up house with her 84 year old grandmother.
"I was raised by my grandmother, she took care of me after my mother
died -- she was in her 50s and I was six. Even as a teenager, I
was aware that our seniors need special consideration. Living with
her again as an adult has brought home for me how contemporary society
often fails to consider the needs of the elderly. It has also reinforced
my belief that people with different life experiences, even of different
generations, can benefit greatly from interacting with each other."
Letitia received her bachelor's degree from Yale and her law degree
from Boalt Hall School of Law, UC Berkeley. She has worked for over
10 years at EPA. "Through my work in the community, I recognize
that El Cerrito needs leaders who will consider the interests of
every resident in making decisions for our City." Letitia first
worked on local planning and development issues in college for the
City of New Haven. She has also worked with the City of Los Angeles,
on administration of a summer jobs program for youths.
As a member of the El Cerrito Planning Commission, Letitia recently
worked to complete the update of El Cerrito's 1975 General Plan.
"I believe that we've made that planning document a more useful
tool for protecting neighborhoods, rehabilitating commercial districts,
and cataloging and conserving our open spaces. With construction
and renovation activities starting soon at the Plaza, hopefully
we will also start to see more evidence of the strong California
economy here in El Cerrito." The Planning Commission approved the
proposed El Cerrito Plaza Revitalization Project in June. In addition
to the Planning Commission, Letitia currently serves on the Idaho
Apartments Neighborhood Advisory Group. She also served on the Del
Norte Area Planning Process Task Force and the General Plan Update
Process Team.
"El Cerrito needs to redefine its image. We need to better promote
our assets so that we can successfully compete for public and private
investment, both business and personal. I want El Cerrito to be
recognized for the Bay Area jewel that it is. That recognition can
help us upgrade our commercial areas, retain our local merchants,
attract developers with vision, and attract people who will make
a commitment to this community. Attracting new investment and enticing
residents to themselves invest in El Cerrito will lead to a better
El Cerrito."
Letitia has been endorsed by Congressman George Miller.
Letitia can be contacted by email email@example.com, phone (510)
558-1218 and fax (510) 338-3258.
Letitia Moore has a broad base of support that demonstrates she
can build the partnerships necessary to promote investment in El
Cerrito. She has the support of the professionals who serve El Cerrito,
business and community leaders, and elected officials.

One of the main features of Greenhouse is its communal courtyard, which acts in many ways as the central core of the building.
With the gym and deli backing onto the courtyard, as well as ground floor offices surrounding it, this space is a real hub and a key feature of Greenhouse.
It also houses vegetable patches growing produce for the deli, railway sleeper benches and offers a slice of tranquility with the landscaping providing relaxing surroundings.
Swap DVDs, books and magazines with our free Swapshop. A great way to find a new home for items that can be appreciated by someone else, and also take your pick of what other have left for you to enjoy!
The Greenhouse Deli is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a coffee and serves as a secure area for children to play. Look up and you'll see the wind turbines powering the building...it's quite a spot.

Daniel Barnea (born Werner Heilbronner) is the younger son of Erwin Heilbronner (born on January 18, 1894) and Flora nee Rheinauer Heilbronner (born on September 24, 1896). Werner was born on May 23, 1929, and his older brother Kurt (today Uri) was born on August 13, 1925. Erwin was an official of the Mannheim branch of the Deutsche Bank until he was fired in October 1937 for being Jewish. However, Erwin still received his pension for his 25 years of service. He then served as the manager of the Jewish welfare department in Mannheim. Erwin and Flora Heilbronner also were active in the Liberal Jewish congregation. On the night of Kristallnacht, Erwin Heilbronner was arrested and sent to Dachau. When stormtroopers entered their apartment, Werner's mother showed them proof of her husband's service as an officer in World War I, and as a result they only did minimal damage to the home. For the next year and a half, the family continued to live in Mannheim. Then on October 22, 1940 they were deported to the Camp Gurs in southern France as part of Aktion Buerckel, the operation to eliminate the Jewish population of the districts of the Saar, Palatinate, and Baden. Half a year later, on March 16, 1941 they were transferred to the Rivesaltes transit camp. Men and women were forced to live in separate barracks. Werner lived with his mother, while Kurt who was older, lived with his father. Erwin and Flora were active in the camp's prisoner Comite and responsible for the camp's welfare kitchen, as well as other small welfare tasks. The boys belonged to the Jewish scout movement, Eclaireurs Israelites de France. In 1942 the OSE arranged for the release of the two boys from the camp. In March 1942, Werner went to the Montintin children's home and stayed there for one year. In 1943 he left for Switzerland and lived in a youth aliyah home Versoix. In May 1942 Kurt left for a farm operated by the Eclaireurs. That fall he also fled to Switzerland. At first he stayed in a work camp, and later he worked on private farms. In May 1945, Werner and Kurt immigrated legally to Palestine on board the ship, Plus Ultra. Erwin and Flora were deported from Rivesaltes to Drancy in 1942; from there were sent to Auschwitz where they perished.

The purpose of this article is to give an historical sense of the intellectual developments that determined the form and content of Kenneth Arrow's path-breaking work published in 1951. One aspect deals with personal influences that helped shape Arrow's own thinking. A second aspect is concerned with the early history of the general theory of relations, which is mainly centered in the nineteenth century, and also with the essentially independent modern development of the axiomatic method in the same time period. Arrow's use of general binary relations and of axiomatic methods to ground, in a clear mathematical way, his impossibility theorem marks a turning point in welfare economics, and, more generally, in mathematical economics.

Journey misses out on Grammy
Austin Wintory's composition for adventure game comes up short in music awards, loses to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
The soundtrack for ThatGameCompany's downloadable game Journey was up for a Grammy last night during the awards show, but it was not meant to be.
Austin Wintory's composition for the well-received and record-breaking adventure game ultimately lost out to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo for Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media.
Writing on Twitter, Wintory congratulated Reznor for his victory and thanked fans for their support of his work on Journey.
Other nominees, all of which were films, included John Williams for The Adventures Of Tintin--The Secret Of The Unicorn; Ludovic Bource for The Artist; Hans Zimmer for The Dark Knight Rises; and Howard Shore for Hugo.
Last year, American composer Christopher Tin took home the Grammy Award for Civilization IV opening song "Baba Yetu," marking the first time a video game composition has won in the awards' history.
The Journey soundtrack is made up of 18 tracks composed and arranged by Wintory. It reached position 116 on the Billboard sales charts and made over 4,000 sales in its first week of release.

Pete Wentz announced earlier today that he is revamping and rebranding his label Decaydance Records into DCD2, which alludes to the fact that the label is in its second decade of existence. The announcement of the expansion came from Rolling Stone as well as Wentz' official Twitter page.
In the Rolling Stone interview, Wentz details his vision for DCD2 moving forward. He wants to revive the veteran bands from the old label, including acts Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, Panic! At The Disco, as well as his own band Fall Out Boy, but also wants to add to the list with fresh new faces that fit into the Decaydance family. Newcomers already include Danish punk rock band New Politics as well as former Broadway singer Lauren Pritchard, who now goes by her stage name Lolo (and was also featured in P!ATD's hit song "Miss Jackson").
Decaydance has already been the platform for a few megastars in the past. Rapper Tyga was signed to Decaydance Records three years before he released his single "Rack City" and pop-punk group Hey Monday, with frontwomen Cassadee Pope, was signed four years before Pope captivated America and won NBC's reality competition The Voice.
DCD2's first release will be from newcomer Lolo as confirmed by Wentz in the article. Soon after, veteran band Cobra Starship will have a "big announcement" for fans who have long awaited a comeback from the group, which seamlessly brings new music to old fans as well as gives them a taste of the old Decaydance that they've been missing for so long. It was also announced that New Politics and Lolo will be joining Fall Out Boy on Monumentour this fall around the US with pop-punk group Paramore.
Be sure to follow DCD2 on Twitter as well as Pete Wentz for all of the information about release dates and new music from the label, read the full article from Rolling Stone including Wentz' exclusive interview here, and follow Rolling Stone to stay updated on anything and everything from music to movies to television.

Maltoporin allows permeation of long maltodextrin chains. It tightly binds the amphiphilic sugar, offering both hydrophobic interactions with a helical lane of aromatic residues and H bonds with ionic side chains. The minimum-energy path of maltohexaose translocation is obtained by the conjugate peak refinement method, which optimizes a continuous string of conformers without applying constraints. This reveals that the protein is passive while the sugar glides screw-like along the aromatic lane. Near instant switching of sugar hydroxyl H bond partners results in two small energy barriers (of approximately 4 kcal/mol each) during register shift by one glucosyl unit, in agreement with a kinetic analysis of experimental dissociation rates for varying sugar chain lengths. Thus, maltoporin functions like an efficient translocation "enzyme," and the slow rate of the register shift (approximately 1/ms) is due to high collisional friction.
