I'm a 30+ year rider. Wore it for the first time on a weekend ride. It's unwearable for any length of time with a helmet and I won't ride without a helmet. There is a large center seam right down the middle, and also a horizontal seam running the perimeter with the face opening. They meet right in the middle of my forehead so you have +-quadruple fabric thickness plus stitching coming together right where the front of your helmet should be snug to your forehead. I had a good 1/8" divot in my head after 40 minutes of riding that a day later is still sore. It was pretty painful after about 15 minutes. Luckily it warmed up enough and I had the presence of mind to pack my skull cap when I left. I really looked forward to the winter comfort this would bring but what were they thinking with the seam locations.

News 12 First at Five / Friday, Nov. 16, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- After three murders in one Augusta apartment complex this year alone, neighbors are beginning to ask for help to make their neighborhood safe again.
Charlene Carter has lived in River Glen for a year, and she says, "The killing, shooting, it don't make no sense, got the kids out here, they seeing it too."
Carter's daughter's best friend was shot and killed at River Glen just two days ago.
"I'm sad, I'm depressed because the little boy that got shot used to be at my house every day," Carter said.
She says the violence in the apartment complex is only getting worse, and it's time to come up with a new plan.
"When we work the apartment complex, we don't have any problems, but it's when we leave. And they know when we come and when we go," said Cpt. Scott Gay with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Richmond County has increased patrols, but they say they can't be there all the time.
"We have other areas of Richmond County, and I can't just stick someone in one apartment complex," he said.
Many people in the neighborhood wonder why the sheriff substation in the apartment complex sits empty.
"The substation has nothing to do with enforcement," Gay said.
Deputies say the substations around town were mainly used for paperwork before Internet technology became available.
Deputies are scheduling a meeting with management to come up with a plan to combat the violence, but the violence is also turning the heads of city leaders who say it has to stop.
Carter just wants them to bulldoze the place, saying, "If they don't tear it down, they need to give people vouchers so they can move somewhere else."
But city leaders say it isn't that simple. Unlike Cherry Tree, River Glen is managed by a private company that contracts with the city, so they can't just tear it down. But there is something deputies think the city should look into.
"The city can bring the owners of the complex before the commission and decide if they want to continue giving them a business license," Gay said.
We asked the families who live in River Glen what they think of management, and they say they can't get anyone to answer their phone calls.
News 12 has been having the same problem. We've tried to get management to call us back for the past two days, and all we've gotten is the runaround.
So, we took the community's concerns about violence to commissioners, who say they have had this problem with the private company before.
"Some time ago, the sheriff's department and some others had some meetings there to kind of raise the bar on what we needed to see from there," Commissioner Matt Aitken said.
But with three murders in less than a year's time on their property, has PK Management really lived up to their promises?
"I don't think they've lived up to the expectations of the city right now," Aitken said.
City leaders have called together a task force to meet with the management group to come up with a solution to the violence, but are commissioners ready to take away PK Management's business license?
Aitken says it's not off the table.
"That's what it takes, we will. We certainly want to work with anybody, but I think when you do business with the city of Augusta, it's a privilege."

Foreplay/Long Time is an amazing way to start a show, and a nice nod to being back in Boston (well, the Boston area at least). This first (and at the time of this writing, only) electric version is played with tons of energy, and nearly flawlessly. Page on the keys in the Foreplay section is great. This bustout was my main memory from the show, and I and the rest of the crowd were going crazy. The band hops without a break from Long Time into an uptempo DWD. Cool jam that headed into a chill somewhat spacey section around 12 minutes in and finishes up with the main riff. Not bad for the second song at a show. BOTT has never been one of my favorite tunes, and kind of lumbers along for a few minutes. What's the use? is a great spacey anthem that was still fresh in the live department, having only debuted a week earlier. Melt has an excellent dark Type I jam. WITS and Zero are fairly standard Set I closers, with the exception of some fun introductions by Trey at the end of Zero.
A funky Twist starts off the second set, and the funk gets deeper with Moma. Makisupa code phrase is "Stink Kind," which gets a huge cheer (of course). Great bass solo by Mike. Fun funky start to Set 2. Things get serious with the start of Bowie. Really really cool quiet jam section in Bowie around 7 minutes in, with a surprisingly attentive crowd response, made all the more awesome as the song slowly builds back up in tempo and amplitude. Some really great stuff in this Bowie, not quite type II, but with multiple tension/release cycles. Lizards is a nice come down off the Bowie, but nothing special (beyond the inherent fun the song typically possesses). Guyute is always fun, a few flubs but overall pretty solid. Funny banter from Trey at the end of Guyute letting people know that the "G" in Mike Gordon is a soft G, and yelling "Air Jordan on bass." Rock and Roll is a great finale for the show, letting Trey get some final shredding in.
Overall a fun show, highlights being the only electric Foreplay/Long Time, the DWD and a really cool Bowie jam. Would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but I can't, so I'll round up to 4.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (v) Use of unreliable sou...
|< (i) Historical background
|(vii) Conclusion >
(vi) Skewing reliable sources
1. Irving claims that Hitler acted to protect Jewish property during the putsch in November 1923. In reality, the exact opposite happened. On Hitler's orders, a squad of SA men forced their way into the printing and publishing house of the Jewish brothers Parcus on Promenadenstraße early on 9 November, and under the threat of violence stole a large sum of money, which was later distributed as 'payment' amongst the members of the SA.11 Hitler openly admitted this at his trial. When asked whether he ordered this particular raid, he replied in the affirmative: 'I did it in memory of the Revolution, which confiscated hundreds of billions in gold from the German people. I felt I had the right to do it.'12
2. Irving mentions this incident in his book on Göring. His account of the raid on the Jewish printers is as follows: 'Hitler...sent armed men into the city to requisition funds; they took 14,605,000 billion Reichsmarks from the Jewish bank-note printers Parvus and Company, and gave a Nazi receipt in exchange, Meanwhile, Hitler acted to maintain order.'13 There then follows the story of the attack on the Jewish delicatessen.
3. Irving's account of the robbery of the printing establishment gives the impression that it was not a robbery at all but a 'requisitioning' which happened in an orderly manner and was above-board. If Hitler acted to maintain order, it was not in respect of this action, but with regard to the attack on the delicatessen, which, as we have seen, did not in fact take place during the putsch, if indeed it actually happened in the way claimed by Hofmann at all.
4. Thus Irving's account of the robbery waters down its illegality and violence and is immediately relativised and undermined in its significance by the following description of Hitler's alleged action in the earlier case.
11. Gruchmann and Weber (eds.), Der Hitler-Prozeß 1924., Vol. 1, p. 323; W. Maser, Der Sturm auf die Republik. Die Fruhgeschichte der NSDAP (Frankfurt am Main, 1980), 451; H. Frank, ImAngesicht des Galgens (Neuhaus, 1955), 55.
12. Gruchmann and Weber (eds.), Der Hitler-Prozeß 1924., Vol. 1 (Munich, 1997), 62: 'Ich habe das getan in Erinnerung an die Revolution, die dem deutschen Volk Hunderte von Milliarden an Gold beschlagnahmt hat. Ich habe mich dazu berechtigt gefühlt...'The seemingly huge sum involved was not worth a great deal; the raid took place at the height of the German hyperinflation.
13. Irving, Goring, p. 59. Irving misspells the name of the printers as Parvus instead of Parcus. 'Parvus' was the pseudonym of a well-known international revolutionary during the First World War, Alexander Helphand.

In just the last three weeks, the number of confirmed cases of swine flu has jumped by more than 200 in Mississippi. The state Department of Health reported 839 confirmed cases.
The number of probable cases is much higher, and local schools are beginning to be hit hard.
An abnormally high number of students at Southeast Lauderdale school campuses have been absent late this week.
"We had about twenty-three or twenty-four out yesterday, and they're asking us to document those with flu-like symptoms. The only ones we could for-sure document was about 4," said Dwane Taylor, Southeast High School principal.
"The last couple of days, the numbers have increased," said elementary principal Ryan Powell. "And today we have sixty-two absent and also about ten extra have checked out of school because of flu-like symptoms and/or fever."
They are not testing for swine flu since the Department of Health says most flu cases are likely swine flu.
This flu is treated the same way as regular seasonal flu. Administrators ask parents to keep children out of school if they have a fever.
"Right now, there is a lot of diagnosed flu coming back from the doctors' offices," said school nurse Kim Rivers. "And we just want to keep the number that are actually exposed to it down."
Students are being reminded constantly to wash their hands. Some teachers are even encouraging them to scrub the desks with disinfectant. Officials are also trying to limit everyone's exposure to anyone who is running a fever or is showing flu-like symptoms.

What makes SXU different from other universities?
What makes SXU different from other universities is the fact that at SXU you are not just a number and professors are very easy to talk to. They genuinely care and do their best to help you succeed not only inside their classroom but outside it, too.
What is your favorite season in Chicago? Why?
The fall is my absolute favorite season in Chicago. The city looks beautiful with its different colors in the trees. The weather is not too hot and not too cold. It also marks the beginning of the apple picking season, which I frequently do with my family.
Your best advice about getting admitted and enrolling in college...
I would have to say visit and learn as much as possible about the college or university that interests you. Do not just blindly pick a college because most of your friends are going. College is a time where you can try new things. So put yourself out there, learn about the college, visit campus, and hopefully that will give you an idea of whether or not you like the atmosphere.
Where are you favorite places to eat near the SXU campus?
My favorite places to eat around campus are Wojos for their veggie burgers and awesome milkshakes and Chi-Tung. There are not many Chinese food restaurants that can make Orange Chicken nice and moist but Chi-Tung is definitely one of them.
Your favorite part of the SXU campus is...
The quad was always my favorite place on the SXU campus because of the beautiful scenery. I would go out there in the summer time during my breaks and either hang out with friends or read a book while I waited for class to begin. It was the part of campus that always seemed to relax me; I would just sit out there and enjoy the sun, take a couple of deep breaths and I was fine.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would travel to Spain in a heartbeat. It has always fascinated me with its rich culture and history. The scenery is beautiful and I cannot wait for the opportunity to travel once and for all.
Favorite television show?
My favorite television show is The Walking Dead. I am a huge zombie fan, so all anyone had to tell me was that this show had plenty zombies in it and I was sold! It is not only a great story line but it keeps you guessing and wondering what you would do in a situation like that.
Favorite day of the week and why?
My favorite day of the week is Sunday because it is the one day I get to spend with my family. We sometimes go out to eat or just order in and watch movies. Sundays has also come to be mother-daughter day, and I spend quality time with my mother. This is a day where most distractions are taken away and it's just me and her talking about things that trouble us.

Jabari Bird scored nine points as the West beat the East 110-99 in the McDonald's All-American boys basketball game before 15,818 at Chicago's United Center on Wednesday.
Bird, a Salesian High student who's Cal-bound, went 3 for 5 from the field, including making his only 3-point attempt. Deer Valley's Marcus Lee had two points on 1-of-3 shooting.
Archbishop Mitty-San Jose's Aaron Gordon, who is committed to play at Arizona, had 24 points and eight rebounds for the West en route to the MVP award.
The game featured six Kentucky commits: Lee, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, James Young, Dakari Johnson and Julius Randle.
In the girls game, Bishop O'Dowd's Oderah Chidom had two points for the West squad, which beat the East 92-64. West teammates Kailee Johnson and Erica McCall, who have both signed with Stanford, combined for 11 points.
Looking to close out the College Basketball Invitational with a title, Santa Clara (25-12) fell 73-66 to George Mason (22-15). The deciding third game will be Friday at the 10,000-seat Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. Game 2 was played in front of sellout crowd of 1,280 at the RAC Center because the Patriot Center was busy with a career fair.
"At least we get to play again -- good, bad or indifferent. We're glad to go play in a real gym," Broncos coach Kerry Keating said. "We fought back in the second half, but it's hard to keep fighting back again and again."
Santa Clara's Kevin Foster had 16 points on 6-for-15s. Sherrod Wright had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Patriots. The Broncos trailed 37-23 at halftime after missing 13 of their first 16 shots.

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
The years brought about substantial changes and growth to both Dean and to St. Mary's. Since the late 1980s the two entities have embarked on several joint efforts to broaden the scope of health care services available to individuals in south central Wisconsin.St. Mary's and Dean jointly own and manage more than 20 primary care clinics, which include approximately 100 physicians. St. Marys/Dean Ventures, Inc. provides financial, management, technological and recruitment support for the primary care clinics located throughout south central Wisconsin.The joint venture also owns and operates the Surgery and Care Center in Madison, the Riverview Surgery Center in Janesville, Davis Duehr Dean Surgery Center. St. Mary's and Dean also offer joint services in perinatology, cardiovascular care, neurosciences and geriatrics as well as education and support groups for the community.St. Mary's & MeriterSt. Mary's and Meriter Hospital jointly own and operate the Turville Bay MRI & Radiation Oncology Center. In 1985, the two hospitals joined with University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics to establish the MERI medical waste disposal system. All three Madison hospitals now dispose of their medical waste through an up-to-date, energy efficient microwave disposal unit. The three hospitals also jointly contract for lithotripsy services.
St. Mary's & UW Medical School
Since 1970, St. Mary's and the UW Medical School have maintained a close partnership through the UW-Madison Family Medicine Residency Program.
St. Mary's is one of the principal clinical practice sites for the residents who are enrolled in the three-year program. St. Mary's also provides the residency program with administrative offices and clinic space. In 1992, St. Mary's built the new Wingra Family Medicine Center in south Madison where residents and UW family practice faculty members see over 7,000 patients per year, many of whom are uninsured or low-income.

Bay Area commuters are getting a sinking feeling as we see firsthand what economic recovery looks like -- miles of brake lights on commutes so congested we're wasting hours a week inching to work and back.
It almost makes you miss the recession.
Commuters say trips that took 30 minutes a year ago now may take 60 or more. It's happening on Highway 85 in the South Bay, Highway 101 along the Peninsula, Interstate 880 through the East Bay and Interstate 680 from the Sunol Grade to the Benicia Bridge.
Forget talk about Twitter stock. When people gather around the office water cooler, it's often to gripe about traffic, traffic, traffic.
San Jose had the 13th worst congestion in the nation in 2010, but now ranks fifth, according to Inrix, which monitors traffic nationwide. Delays are also growing through San Francisco and Oakland, which are counted together and are considered the country's third most congested city, a spot it has held for years.
"It's gotten noticeably worse, even in the last two weeks," said KQED traffic reporter Joe McConnell. "Every morning has been nightmarish.
"Something may have tipped, but it could be like trying to connect any particular stormy day to climate change or just bad weather."
Mostly, experts say, the congestion is a testament to the growth in jobs in Silicon Valley, San Francisco and the East Bay as the economy recovers from the Great Recession. And that has exacerbated problems that were already worse here than elsewhere.
Where drivers nationwide spend about 38 hours stuck in traffic a year, drivers in California's most urban areas waste 62 hours a year, says the Texas Transportation Institute.
"It takes me 1.5 to 2 hours to drive 30 miles from San Jose to Livermore each evening," said Sean Lamson of his I-680 trek.
If Brenda Nguyen hears a crash reported along her route from San Francisco through the Caldecott Tunnel, her 22-mile drive can turn into two hours. "Bank on it," she said. "It used to be maybe 50 minutes at its worst."
Chris Lee of San Jose just wants to get her kid to class on time at Archbishop Mitty High School in west San Jose.
"In the past few months we have noticed a huge increase in the time it takes to get from 280 and 87 to Saratoga Avenue," she said. "We are now almost late every day, even though we allow 35 minutes to go about four miles."
Other than an improving economy that's putting workers back on the road, here are some factors behind our growing woes: Truck traffic from the Port of Oakland to the Central Valley has turned I-80, I-580 and I-880 into big rig alleys. Thieves continue to steal copper wiring at metering lights, and when they don't work, highway traffic backs up. Road construction is underway seemingly everywhere. Schools are back in session. Gas prices have fallen 28 cents a gallon over the past year. And more traffic on the road means likely more crashes that make things even worse.
While ridership on BART, Caltrain, light rail and buses continues to grow and carpool use is on the rise, there are simply too many of us driving solo to work.
Honolulu ranks as the nation's most congested city, followed by Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, Seattle and San Jose. New York is No. 6.
Through the early part of this year, 61 of America's top 100 cities with the worst congestion saw delays worsen compared to the year before -- and San Jose's jump is at the top of the list. In 2012, only six cities experienced increases.
"That's incredible, to have such a huge increase so quickly," said Jamie Holter of Inrix. "San Jose people really have no choice but to drive."
Traffic delays dropped by more than 22 percent during the recession of 2008, says Inrix, making any increase now seem unbearable. But make no mistake, traffic officials say, delays are on a rapid spiral upward and might be a sample of what is down the road as highway work wraps up and state transportation dollars dwindle.
"We are only experiencing the tip of the Silicon Valley congestion iceberg," said Rod Diridon of the Mineta Transportation Institute. "Since what we knew of as full employment before the Great Recession, government has been unable to invest significantly in highway capacity expansion."
He says Silicon Valley will soon bump against "terminal gridlock" like the kind that occurred in Beijing six years ago when commuters were trapped in their cars for days.
"The capital of China was nearly paralyzed for almost seven days while that massive traffic jam was cleared," Diridon said. "That crisis doesn't happen gradually. There is no quick fix."
Not unless we have another recession.

Trans Fats Linked to Stroke in Women
March 1, 2012 -- Artery-clogging trans fats have been linked to heart disease in study after study, and now new research suggests that the fats may also increase stroke risk in women.
Middle-aged and older women whose diets contained the most trans fats in the newly reported study had the highest risk for stroke, but regular use of aspirin appeared to moderate this risk.
Researchers analyzed data collected from more than 87,000 women in the largest study ever to examine the impact of dietary fat on stroke risk.
They found no evidence linking total fat intake or intake of other types of fat to stroke, but eating high amounts of trans fats was strongly associated with elevated risk.
Women in the study who ate the most trans fats had a 39% greater stroke risk than women who ate the least after taking into account other lifestyle and dietary factors that contribute to stroke.
"Trans fats are well-recognized risk factors for heart disease and heart attack, and our study finds that they are a risk factor for ischemic stroke," says researcher Ka He, MD, MPH, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. An ischemic stroke occurs when the supply of blood to a region of the brain is fully or partially blocked.
Trans Fats and Stroke
Once a staple of processed baked goods and fried foods, trans fats are slowly disappearing from grocery aisles and restaurant kitchens as a growing number of studies suggest that they may be more dangerous for health than other dietary fats.
The new study, which appears in the March issue of the journal Annals of Neurology, included women participating in the ongoing Women's Health Initiative (WHI) health trial.
The women, who were aged 50 to 79 when they enrolled in WHI in the mid-to-late 1990s, completed detailed dietary questionnaires, which, among other things, examined their intake of various dietary fats.
The finding that trans fat consumption, but not consumption of other fats, was strongly associated with increased stroke risk was only seen in women who were not regular aspirin users.

Clemson's Kyle Stanley returns to the site of last year's epic collapse in front of his parents when he blew a seven-shot lead to begin the final round with a triple-bogey at the final hole when his approach spun back off the green and into the water.
Farmers Insurance Open
When: Thursdayday-Sunday
Where: Torrey Pines (La Jolla, Calif.)
Purse: $6.1 million ($1.08 million winner's share)
2012 champion: Brandt Snedeker
TV: 3-7 p.m., Thursday-Friday and 1-2:30 p.m., Saturday-Sunday on Golf Channel; 3-6 p.m., Saturday-Sunday on CBS
The then second-year pro in search of his first PGA Tour victory was left teary-eyed as Brandt Snedeker caught him and eventually won the Farmers Insurance Open on the second hole of sudden death. Stanley would go on to make a miraculous comeback of his own the very next week to claim his first win at the Phoenix Open.
"I have really positive thoughts about it," Stanley told attending media Wednesday. "I think it was really good for me. It made me tough and I played some great golf. I think, if anything, it was an eye-opener for me to kind of know if I get things going I can win.
"I'm pretty emotional and (the loss) was just hard to take. I had my parents here and it was a dream to win out here. I'm glad I did it in Phoenix, but yeah, it was pretty difficult."
Stanley is paired the opening two rounds with world No. 27 Hunter Mahan and world No. 37 Bill Haas, a Greenville resident who has both a strong personal and family history in the event. Bill finished tied for fourth here last year and tied for ninth in 2011 as he looks to join his winning father, Jay, the 1978 champion and 1988 runner-up (by one to Steve Pate).
Greenville native/Clemson product Lucas Glover played his first competitive event last week since Aug. 19 and finished tied for 47th at the Humana Challenge. Glover missed four consecutive cuts and then withdrew from his final event last season in Greensboro, N.C., with pain in his right knee. He originally injured it prior to the season-opening event in Hawaii and underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in early September.
Simpsonville resident Justin Bolli won last year's Web.com Tour Championship to push his earnings to more than $300,000 and earned a return trip to the PGA Tour. He missed his first two cuts this season in his first starts on the big tour since 2010.
Among the featured opening trios are six-time winner Tiger Woods with Nick Watney and Rickie Fowler while three-time winner Phil Mickelson will play with Bubba Watson and Snedeker.
Boiling Springs resident/Wofford product William McGirt is taking the week off after becoming a first-time father with wife, Sarah, to a son on Jan. 2. He finished tied for 56th at last week's Humana Challenge after entering the weekend in the top 10. Dorman/Clemson product D.J. Trahan was an alternate this week.

NEW ORLEANS -- The success of the read-option this season has sparked heated debate over whether it's a passing fad or something that's here to stay.
The Baltimore Ravens are charged with finding ways to combat 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick whenever he lines up in the pistol formation and runs the read-option Sunday in the Super Bowl.
Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis said the 49ers succeed so often using the read-option because defenses aren't well-prepared.
"They're doing a good job with it," Lewis said of the 49ers. "At the same time, when you do watch the film, a lot of people who played against them just never communicated at all.
"That's one of the advantages of what we have as a defense. We do a job of communicating very well, whether you have the dive, whether you have the quarterback, how are you going to play this, how are you going to play that?"
Lewis said something glaring stands out when he breaks down tape of how other defenses play the read-option.
"You can tell that a lot of people playing against the read-option just played as individuals," Lewis said. "It's really hard to play that type of package as individuals. You have to play it as a group.
"If you (want) to try to slow it down, that's the only way to slow it down is to really play it as a group and make sure before the snap that everyone is on the same page."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he is a big fan of the pistol formation first implemented by Chris Ault, Kaepernick's college coach at Nevada.
"The beauty of it is, and part of the genius of it is, it's such a simple idea," Harbaugh said. "It goes back to Nevada and coach Ault out there. You can run your whole offense out of it. You're not limited to an option type of attack out of it. It's just a very versatile kind of offense."
He also draws a comparison to the 49ers and some of the great Ravens defenses of the past 15 years or so.
"You see the youth of what we were like when we were younger," Lewis said of the 49ers. "They're just running around and they're making a lot of plays. They have a lot of young guys who just love playing the game.
"You can tell that they really enjoy playing, not just the game, but playing with each other. And that's one of the keys to playing great defense is just having that defensive chemistry."

I write this article exactly 24 hours after receiving my Galaxy Tab 10.1. It's something I've been wanting for a long time. I had to wait for the dispute between Apple and Samsung to settle (Samsung actually lost on millions of dollars worth of sales thanks to software patents, but that's another story). After all that, I came to the realisation that we are in front of a forking path. On one side there is the death of GNU/Linux as we know it. On the other side, there is a new exciting world where free software is still relevant. I am not writing this just to be "sensational": here is why.
We have all seen the gadgetification of software: it started with Nokia phones that allowed you to install extra applications and games. It exploded with Apple, and the glorification of the "app market" (which is, excuse me, a generic term). It "inspired" the Android market, and -- let's not forget -- the Mac OS X app market. It also inspired Ubuntu's own "app market".
The world of software has changed. In the (recent) past, software was something to install and use. Today, with the "app markets", software is becoming a gadget to play with.
All of these "app markets" have something in common (that includes Ubuntu's): applications can cost money (users will know it), can have a $0 price, or can be free as in freedom -- and the user has absolutely no way of telling the difference between the last two options. Free is free is free. It's a cool gadget: I will use it.
Honest hat on: With my Galaxy tab, I am a "app market" user. I look for an app -- often, I admit, a game. I click on it, I install it, I play with it. I purchased Fruit Ninja, one of the most enjoyable games since I was a kid. Yes, I am sucked in. Badly. And I am the Editor In Chief of Free Software Magazine.
Android, based on Linux, might well be what actually made GNU/Linux irrelevant. Ouch.
Changing the route
Here is what I believe should happen in order to change things:
Develop an alternative, fantastic replacement for the Market. Something like F-droid is a huge step in the right direction -- I am not sure if there are others yet. My personal Kudos to the guys developing it. But, for now it's only a "good start": the competition is tough (it's the proprietary market itself). The Android Market has a lot of nice features (user ratings and comments being just two of them). There is also a lot to do in terms of apps available in F-droid.
Offer a way to turn a proprietary-filled tablet (like the Galaxy Tab, but really, any one) into something that only uses free software. A simple, one-button process. It is possible: the market could be f-droid, the e-book reader could be Cool Reader (available from f-droid!), and so on. It would be great if there were an app to do this: something that would place all of the proprietary applications in a sub-folder, and would place all the free ones (and I mean, free as in freedom) in the home page and as default handlers. Using a free software launcher like ADW.Launcher would make this possible.
Eventually, offer a full Android system entirely based on free software (that is, one where those free apps are not installed at all). This might be very much a up-hill battle, since even installing your own ROM is such a hard task...)
Point 1 is a matter of making alternatives to the Android Market as relevant as possible, by building something that looks even better than the what comes with Android. Point 2 might seem useless, but it isn't: tablets seem to imply a level of laziness in users. A one-shop stop that places all of the proprietary apps away, and only use free software, would be the way to go. Point 3 is possible, but a situation where a ROM is installed by default, or where it takes little effort to swap ROM with the free software one is something I don't expect in the short term -- unfortunately.
So, maybe nit everything is lost?
Maybe the situation is not desperate just yet. However, it's pretty bad: proprietary software for tablets us very polished. Getting people to use free software will be harder if proprietary software becomes more established and ingrained in the way people interact with computers.
Why Android might just kill GNU/Linux. Quickly.
I remember reading about Replicant a while back:
It's what RMS uses apparently.
We've been here before - heck you've said similar before and also spoken about this "ideal" of installing software as an app but sorry I don't buy it.
Firstly you've focussed on a single (and small) part of the hardware "market" - tablets. While I agree there should be a simple effective way of making a tablet (or any computer device) into free software only. I don't see it happening and to be honest I don't want it to. I'd rather build my own software experience by choosing the applications I use myself.
But here's the real crunch: You make a leap from "Android on tablet sucks you in" to "Android will kill GNU/Linux and quickly". I just can't see it. For a start you're forgetting the server space which might not look as shiny as the portable one but probably makes up the majority of GNU/Linux usage even now (and with good reason). Secondly tablets will not kill the desktop. So far - and many have tried - nobody has come up with an input system for text which beats the keyboard for versatility and any future the computing industry will include the keyboard. This changes the type of "app" we install and use and thus there will always be a vast array of software which will not (or is inappropriate to) run on a tablet device.
So whilst tablets and the gadetisation could bring in more hurdles for GNU/Linux I don't think it will make that much of a dent.
Yeah, I realize you want
Yeah, I realize you want another go at this, but it's too bad this article ignores the feedback of the one like it before.
Why give Apple all the credit? They didn't invent WebKit, though they did contribute substantially to KHTML when they turned it into WebKit. Similarly they didn't invent UNIX or BSD, but they did manage to make a hyperusable version of it. And the app market is not half as innovative as it gets credit for, it mostly existed already (In the free software world.) Ease of install from pre-selected categories in one place? Already had that. Ease of charging money? That's an innovation, but barely an invention, it's a tweak.
I'm more concerned about the logos than the software. Used to be, a gnu represented freedom. Then a penguin took over, representing companies (and individuals) exploiting (making use of) that freedom. Tux rarely pays homage to Gnu (you only see them together when FSF puts them together) and Ubuntu whitewashes the penguin. The way Android is going, MOST PEOPLE won't know the robot and the penguin have anything to do with each other.
So in a more superficial (but not entirely meaningless) way, you're totally right. From a user-awareness standpoint, this is only going to hurt more and more. But people will still be using free software, sometimes they'll just think Google (not Shuttleworth, not Murdock, not even Torvalds, and certainly not Stallman) came up with the whole thing. This is a problem no one but FSF talks about, but it goes far beyond just Linux originally overshadowing GNU. ALL the relevant logos should all be there, IMO. At least on the "box" ("download" page?) somewhere, like all the relevant logos on the back of a music CD. Enforceable? Nah. Good? VERY.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

Massachusetts Offers $25 Million for Renewable Energy Certificates
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) announced in late January that its Renewable Energy Trust is offering $25 million to support renewable energy projects that will generate up to 50 megawatts of clean power for the New England electric grid. The trust's Massachusetts Green Power Partnership provides long-term funding commitments to purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) and other price supports for clean energy projects. The new request for proposals (RFP) starts the second round of awards; the first round led to $32 million in funding commitments for six projects that will generate close to 100 megawatts of clean energy, including two large wind power plants (covered in last week's newsletter), a 50-megawatt biomass power plant, and small installations of landfill gas, hydropower, and solar energy systems. Proposals for the new RFP are due on March 18th. See the press release and RFP from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.
Although most of MTC's commitments to purchase RECs are for future projects, the agency is already buying RECs from a landfill gas project. MTC buys the RECs and then auctions them off to electricity providers, which can either use them to meet the requirements of the Massachusetts Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) or to meet the needs of any voluntary green power program. In early February, MTC had Evolution Markets LLC auction off 5,011 megawatt-hours (MWh) of RECs, which sold to two successful bidders at an average price of $51.12 per MWh. Some companies are also bypassing the MTC, selling RECs directly into the Massachusetts power market, as Conservation Resources Group did for a New York landfill project in 2004. See the press releases from Evolution Markets and the Conservation Resources Group (PDF 53 KB). Download Acrobat Reader.
RECs represent the attributes of electricity generated from renewable energy sources, and are usually sold separately from the actual electricity. According to a new DOE report, an estimated 3 million MWh of RECs were sold in 2003. Fourteen of the 18 states with RPS policies use RECs, creating an annual potential market of about 13 million MWh. According to the report, the REC market could reach 65 million MWh by 2010. See the report, "Emerging Markets for Renewable Energy Certificates: Opportunities and Challenges" (PDF 2.0 MB).

Maybe this was to help Paul's mixing, but we have an Adeline opener? Anyway, not bad, right into a rocking Buried Alive. Trey is in a rush to transition into a pretty good Poor Heart. Ice was ok, maybe a few off spots from Mike. Fee was very dynamic and seriously Trey sang the verses off mic and the band and the crowd complied by bringing it way down. Maze rips as usual, but the end wasn't tight. IDK is fine with Johnny B. on washboard. Divided Sky had some off parts and felt very rushed. So now Trey announces that his grandpa is going to come up and sing a one timer debut for them. Very funny stuff as the band does HYHU as he gets up there. The Mama song itself is short and sweet and then it sounds like Fish starts Possum only to be cut off by Trey. So instead we have the first McGrupp played on the new piano for Page. Nicely done, for something not often played. Cavern was kind of a sloppy closer for a funny, reasonably well played first set.
My Friend had some rough spots from Mike, but has a cool swing ending and vocal jam. Curtain also had some roughness and a very rushed ending. Tweezer is pretty funny. I read that they had done Sweet Emotion during a sound check recently so I wasn't surprised by the bust out, but I bet the crowd was! The end got cut maybe by an old tape flip? Right into an ok, average Gin. Esther is funny as Trey tells us "two stories". The song itself is rushed and sloppy. Chalk Dust was ok, nothing too great. YEM was ok, a few spots here and there, but had a good jam at the end right into HYHU. Which brings Fish out this time for a Bike/Lengthwise combo with vacuum, of course. It's great because the audience initiates the Lengthwise! Lawn Boy is super funny as Page takes a vocal solo in the middle. I would love to see video of this show. Llama was nice and dynamic, rocking as usual. Then more barbershop to close up a fun second set.
Sparkle gets moved to the encore spot tonight and this one is pretty average as is the expected Tweeprise.
On paper this set list is outstanding. And if the playing was better overall, I would have no problem giving this a straight up four star rating, but I am giving it four stars anyway because of the novelty of the bust outs and the special guests, Trey's family.

In the past, people have packed local health departments when flu shots become available, usually during the fall. The Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department delivers as well, but just to local businesses and industries. Those vaccines come in the form of what are called "private" vaccines, available to those who are not high-risk patients.
"We've had our private vaccine, we ordered it several weeks ago," says Janie Moore, the health department's clinical director. "We had no problem getting it; that's why I don't think there's a shortage this year."
In recent years, the West Virginia Health Department has had a shortage of the vaccine given high-risk patients, including those having medical problems.
Flu shots have been in increasing demand in the past ten years. They're recommended mainly for the very young and the very old.
"It's going to be recommended children get the flu shot beginning at six months of age," Moore says. "It's encouraged this year, but it is not recommended until next year. Which means, hopefully, the state will be able to give us more vaccine, because they say we'll have more people to give the vaccine to."
The Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department, which covers Wood, Pleasants, Ritchie and Wirt Counties, plans to announce its flu schedule soon. Meanwhile, flu shots will be provided for high-risk Washington County residents beginning next week.
Shots for everyone else will be made available beginning in November. Washington County's health department, 342 Muskingum Dirve, will start giving flu shots Monday, Oct. 14.
Marietta's health department, located at 304 Puthnam Street, will begin its flu shot program on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
They'll be available at both locations from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In Their Own Words – Focusing on the "Cans"
This "In Their Own Words" essay was submitted by Teresa Greenwood of Hays, Kansas, who has a daughter with autism.
This was my first celebration of World Autism Awareness Day. A year ago I didn't know that April 2 was anything other than another day on the calendar.
Did I ever think about autism before my two-year-old daughter was diagnosed – no. Sure, I'd heard of it, and I sympathized with families that "had to deal" with a child with a disability. I did not know anyone with a child with autism, however. And I never would have thought it would affect my family, but it has.
Morgan's diagnosis, and her progress since then, has changed my life for the better. I have more patience than ever before, and more understanding that we have to cherish every blessing we have. I am blessed to have Morgan in my life, and I would not change her in any way. Also, I am blessed with three other children who love their sister and embrace her diagnosis.
Of course, I grieve for the child she could have been without autism, but I also recognize the amazing child she is with it. When I drop her off at daycare and another two year old says "Hi, what's your name?" I am reminded that Morgan only occasionally says "Momma" and mostly babbles without words. I know that she may never be fully verbal and will probably be in special education classes in school. The odds are she will never live independently. When she becomes excited or upset she will flap her arms uncontrollably. She easily becomes overwhelmed to where she has to drop to her knees and suck on her fingers. She is an extremely picky eater, like most people who have autism, and she has trouble sleeping at times. But I do not dwell on the "can'ts" and the "nevers." I focus on the "cans."
Morgan transformed from completely nonverbal with little eye contact to a bright child who babbles constantly. She will hold a pig and say "oink oink." She will hold a cow and say "mooooo." She also has a sheep, which says "baaaa." She holds these animals to a toy hay bale to make them eat. She now waves bye-bye on occassion, and she has used some of the sign language she has learned. She will make a spider sign when she wants to sing "Itsy bitsy spider." And she will pull her sisters' hair if they get too close. She will run to her daddy when it is time to pray, and she will come crawl in bed with us in the middle of the night.
Morgan thrives in her therapy and learns quickly. And I can't thank her therapists enough for taking the time to work with her, to help her become the person she was meant to be. Early intervention is key to successfully living with autism, and Morgan was fortunate enough to be able to experience that.
I watched a video of a speech by Temple Grandin, who has her doctorate's degree and is a published author … and who also has autism. HBO recently made a movie about her, which I have yet to see. Watching the real Temple give a speech about her life with autism – and her successes since her diagnosis – gives me such hope that there is a place in this world for my daughter's beautiful mind.
I sympathize with the people glaring at us in church because Morgan is holding her toy cow in the air and yelling "moooooo!" But I am not sorry, because to me there is not a more beautiful sound in the world than my autistic daughter finally finding her voice and saying words. Even if it's barnyard talk.
On World Autism Awareness Day, remember autism, and the millions of families affected by this spectrum disorder. Research is continuing so that hopefully, someday, more can be understood about this mystifying disabiliity. Until then, I will continue to grin at my daughter while she talks to her farm animals, being extremely proud of all she has accomplished at such a young age.

Teresa thank you for sharing your story! Early intervention is crucial. We've seen a tremendous improvement with our 4 1/2 yr. son who has ASD since he began school and OT/ST. Wishing you continued success with Morgan!
June 27, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Thank-you so much for sharing. I also didnt know that April 2 was World Autisim Awareness Day. My son vincent is 13yrs old . He was nonverbal until he was about 6 1/2 yrs old. He also has OT/ST His speach is not perfect and we still have some trouble understanding what he is sayng. I wouldnt change anything about our lives and living with autisim for anything. We did get early intervention however, i didnt work our so well for us. From reading this website i didnt know there was so much out there for children with autisim like my Vincent. We have not found anything in our area but are still looking. He goes to a Life Skills school and has made so progress but i am going to start not only sending him to school but also working with him using the method of teaching his devlopmental ped. has suggested. I found so much material on the internet that he has never been exposed to. I hope by sending him to school and also teaching him at home he will learn alot more. Thanks for sharing and good luck to you and your family!! It sounds as if Morgan is really making great progress God Bless you and your family.
June 27, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Hi Teresa. I love your story.It's a very positive message: "focusing on the "cans".My son David is now 17 years old, and at the age of 10, he only spoke 3 to 4 words…now ,he doesn't stop talking!!!.and He is very social.- Many times I suffered, because I thought he'll never be able to have an independent life…but now I know HE CAN!!!!
June 27, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Thanks for sharing your story! I feel the same way. My son has done everything they told me he would never do when he was diagnosed at age 3. He's 9 now. I was so inspired by his progress, especially with communication, that I wrote and illustrated a children's book about finding his words, called, "Tyler's Magic Word Box." You can find it here if you're interested in reading it: http://web.mac.com/g.horgan.portfolio/iWeb/Site/Magic%20Word%20Box.html
I welcome any feedback and please share with anyone you think would enjoy the story or find hope by reading it. Teresa, I also have a FB page, "words4autism" where we share good news and all our "cans". Please feel free to visit and keep the inspiration coming!

I am not surprised that you have tenaciously reacted to this event in you and your husband's life. Little Morgan is very lucky to have such great parents, who did not bury their heads in the sand. I do not have a child with autism but over the years, I have learned about a lot about autism. I also interact with autism almost on a daily basis. Early intervention is very important for Morgan and her future. I commend you for your involvement and for taking the time to do what needs to be done.
As far as it goes, I commend all of you that have made autism a personal crusade. I for one wish autism could be eradicated from the face of the earth. "But I do not dwell on the "can'ts" and the "nevers." I focus on the "cans." Of course, I think this describes your attitude toward your entire life. Hang in there my friend great article Morgan is very lucky.

What a great story of inspiration for people who struggle with autism! Thank you for the reminder to consistently encourage them.
From my own experiences with living with my brother with autism, Scott, I have also seen the need for patience. Sometimes, he goes through many "ups and downs" and acts abnormally many times. He has gone through numerous hospitalizations and, consequently, I had to eat many foods that were abnormal for me in order to accommodate his dietary needs for family meals. During those difficulties, patience and love were absolutely essential!
Did I think he would get through those difficulties and graduate from high school and move on to college and run collegiate cross-country? No, but he did! Your story, coupled with my experiences with my brother, really help me to realize that people with autism can have great potential.

The snow day that wasn't in Seattle, is now one today and while that's slowing down our blog productivity (kids at Hugga HQ bouncing off the walls), it's also generating much discussion on riding with studded tires, cleats, and riding indoors, especially with euro hotness.
Seattle PI in their ongoing coverage has this shot of a cyclist riding his bike in the snow, here's another, and the Seattle Times has this video with a cyclist at 01:43.
Last Thursday in Portland, Shimano brought their tech seminar national tour to the Northwest. Besides explaining all about the new Dura Ace 7900 and the revolutionary DA 7970 electronic group, Shimano's Chad Roberts explained the new Shadow-style rear derailleurs for mtb and the new lighter, more versatile Saint group.
Shimano also markets a line of components under the Pro name. Supplying the likes of Hushovd's Credit Agricole Pro Tour team, they apparently supply champion track sprinter Theo Bos with this awesome carbon track bar and stem.
Andrew Musselman, local cycling fiend and a dedicated Ride Civilian, whipped up his own Studded Tires in preparation for this weeks icy commutes in Seattle. Here's a tutorial that covers a similar approach. Andrew's using flat headed screws, with the pointy side out which makes a bit more intuitive sense. A tire liner over the heads keeps your tubes from popping. At least that's the theory, how'd it go, Andrew? Anybody else riding studs this late fall?
A couple more instructive photos inside…
Friday's release party for the Lovely Ladies on Beautiful Bikes (we're a sponsor, yo!) was a big hit despite the inclement weather. Standing room only by 9:00, plenty of oboe-powered hobo cabaretby The Whiskey Romance and later Golden Robot Army played. Many of the Lovely Ladies were in attendance, and although I ducked out a bit early I understand the party was going strong at midnight. Nice work as always, MaLora, looking forward to next year's calendar.

Macro photography-It's amazing!
A little about me:
When I was 5 maybe 6 years old my Uncle Frank gave me a book about insects and the images were fascinating to me. I never knew there were so many different shapes, sizes, colors, types, etc. This is the earliest memory I can trace back too when it comes to my love for the creepy crawlies. I do remember catching dragonflies when we lived in Florida and letting them loose in our house. My poor mother! Lets fast forward a number of years and I just purchased my first macro lens. The Canon 100mm macro… what a great lens! I had the Canon 20d at the time and we were living in Okinawa. Lots of bugs! I didn't have a clue about macro photography. Read More

The 2006 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ Designs
In commemoration of the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition, the President enacted Public Law 108-15 to modify the Jefferson 5-cent coin (nickel) to reflect images evocative of the historic expedition into the Louisiana Territory. The United States Mint began the Westward Journey Nickel Series™ in 2004 with the release of the "Peace Medal" and "Keelboat" nickels. In 2005, the "President Jefferson with Handwritten Liberty" image appeared on the obverse with two new designs on the reverse: "American Bison" and "Ocean in view! O! The joy!" In 2006 the obverse features the "Jefferson, 1800" image and the reverse features "Return to Monticello".
2006 Obverse Design: Jefferson, 1800
The obverse of the 2006 nickel depicts a portrait of Thomas Jefferson completed during 1800.
The United States Mint's Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Jamie Franki of Concord, North Carolina, designed the obverse, using as his inspiration the first Rembrandt Peale life study of Jefferson, done in 1800.
Depicting Jefferson as Vice President at 57 years of age, just before becoming President, this Peale portrait had a significant iconographic role during Jefferson's lifetime; it was frequently used as a reference to create most of the images by which Jefferson's contemporaries came to know him.
The cursive "Liberty" inscription, which debuted on the 2005 nickels, is again presented in Jefferson's own handwriting.
The obverse was engraved by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Donna Weaver.
2006 Reverse Design: "Monticello"
The reverse of the 2006 nickel features the classic, familiar rendition of Monticello, President Thomas Jefferson's Virginia home, originally executed by artist Felix Schlag and first chosen to adorn the coin's reverse in 1938.
However, the 2006 reverse design is crisper and more detailed than Americans have seen it in recent years, having been carefully restored by the United States Mint, guided by Schlag's original work. Among the changes made are:
Jefferson designed Monticello himself, and construction began in 1768 when he was 25 years old. It was completed in 1823 when the former President and founding father was in his eightieth year. A skilled horticulturalist, Jefferson also planned the smallest details of the landscaping at Monticello.

CRYSTAL Bay, Nev. - Kyle Hollingsworth set out on a career in music 25 years ago and with a wealth of desire and an abundance of ability, he has established himself as a formidable and versatile music talent, with the ability to contribute, collaborate, compose, and communicate on a number of levels and within a vast spectrum of musical environments.
Today, as a member of acclaimed jam masters the String Cheese Incident, Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop. Playing in SCI has allowed him unrestricted access to the world of music, and has bestowed on him the kind of fearlessness a composer needs to flirt with such disparate genres. Those who've seen SCI know that they can jerk from funk to bluegrass on a chord change.
"In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we're not afraid to move in and out of genres," he said in a press statement, "and because of that I've learned to be creative, not only onstage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to."
Hollingsworth also has a good ear, which helps when you're constantly immersed in unfamiliar situations.
"I've always felt the instrumentals I create in my home studio are tailor-made for films," he said. "As far as communicating musical passages, I write pretty good hooks and I know what it takes to get to the point."
He's proven that already with a variety of work that he's already done for advertising, television, film, and even video games.
Kyle has developed soundtracks for EA Sports' popular Sims 2007 and is currently dabbling in other video game projects. There are examples of his work on his website. He said, "For video games, it has been fun writing in more of a classical vein. By utilizing timpani, strings and other classical elements, I am able to create tension beds and action sequences that help make the scenes come alive."
Most recently, Kyle contributed to the soundtrack of a Warren Miller film. "The key to good cinematic music," he said, "is to not overpower the visuals. My job is to add to the scene without making my music the focal point. I try to add emotion, not take it away."
While his versatility and quick-study nature have become his signature skills with SCI, they have also proved tremendously helpful on stage during collaborations with a bunch of major acts, including Paul Simon, Bruce Hornsby, Bob Weir, Little Feat, and banjo master Bela Fleck. One summer he toured with Phil Lesh in a band that also included Steve Kimock, John Molo, and Warren Haynes. In another amazing highlight, Kyle also toured with Mike Clark in a band that starred nearly all the original Head Hunters.
These gigs prove that Hollingsworth is as unafraid to step out of the limelight as he is to step into it. "When I play with these performers it's about showcasing them, to support the main role in the best possible way. Seasoned musicians can be tasty and laid back, too."

- Candidate profile: Cindy Chavez seen as both savior and polarizing figure
SAN JOSE -- Teresa Alvarado was born into an East Side family steeped in politics and public service.
Her father, Jose Alvarado, was a Spanish language radio announcer and community activist who urged his fellow Latinos to fulfill their potential. Her mother, former city councilwoman and county supervisor Blanca Alvarado, marched alongside farm labor icon Cesar Chavez.
Now, the youngest of five Alvarado children wants to continue that tradition by winning a tough race for District 2 supervisor. It's the same seat once held by her mother and recently vacated by George Shirakawa Jr., who has pleaded guilty to misusing taxpayer and campaign donor funds.
But unlike her mother, Teresa Alvarado has spent most of her life working in the private sector and for nonprofits. Her only other run for office for District 1 supervisor 2010 was unsuccessful, in part because of her lack of name recognition in the West Valley and South County district.
These days, however, she's back on her home turf, standing "on the shoulders of those who have come before her -- none more so than her own mother,'' said J. Manuel Herrera, a longtime East Side Union High School District board member.
Yet, some criticize her as lacking sufficient political experience.
"I don't know that she has done anything -- she has no track record at all,'' said Ron Golart, Mount Pleasant Neighborhood Association vice president and longtime supporter of Alvarado's chief rival, labor leader Cindy Chavez.
But others say Alvarado's lack of political baggage could be an asset. "She's a fresh face, and not perceived to be as hyperpartisan to any cause'' said Herrera.
Alvarado is trying to tie Chavez to her longtime ally Shirakawa by emphasizing a multipronged ethics reform platform to clean up county government in his wake. Among other goals, she wants more transparency about who is meeting with county elected officials to try to influence county policy.
But Chavez backers are hoping labor's recent efforts to improve the lives of District 2 residents -- the poorest in the county -- will trump Alvarado's reform agenda. They're betting residents are more interested in union-backed victories to raise San Jose's minimum wage and bolster the county's sales tax to fund social services that district residents rely on most.
Alvarado counters that her family has a strong union background. She noted that every one of her mother's campaigns received labor's support and that one of her brothers, a former electrician turned social activist, was a union member, as were her two sisters, who worked in public school and civil service positions.
What's crucial about her reform message, she said, is that the public feels confident that their government is using their money effectively. And that, she said, will open up more funding for county services. "That's absolutely linked to reform," she said.
Moreover, she said her years in the private sector and nonprofit worlds -- from PG&E to leading the Hispanic Foundation -- have given her valuable insights into budget and management practices that she believes will enable her as a supervisor to work well with her constituents, as well as labor and the business community.
"I think government has to change, and that happens more naturally in the private sector in response to their customers," said the 48-year old communications manager at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, an organization that her critics note has struggled with its own lack of transparency issues. While she acknowledges room for more improvement there, she believes the district has made strides in greater accountability and public outreach.
The county must fall in line. During a recent interview with the Mercury News editorial board, she gave County Executive Jeff Smith a "D" grade for his performance. But she quickly added that supervisors share responsibility for the low grade because "I assume he's following the direction of his bosses in how he manages and leads the organization."
Growing up on the east side, Alvarado faced challenges from a young age. After her parents divorced, she found herself bouncing between the homes of her mother and father. She spent more time with her father than her siblings, who by then were either in high school or college. His death linked to pneumonia when she was 13 was crushing. She had lost an important anchor.
With her mother working, she drifted, bonding with kids at a park near her home. By the time she was 15 across town at Archbishop Mitty High School, where she said she felt like an outsider, she was pregnant by a boyfriend from the east side. Their daughter was stillborn.
Heartbroken, Alvarado returned to school, but with a new outlook: She made up the school credits she'd lost, joined student government and focused on new goals.
One was college, and she headed to San Jose State, where she was a part-time student for more than a decade, taking classes in everything from business to marketing to political science, while supporting herself through temporary jobs at companies from Atari to ROLM.
Eventually she discovered her passion in environmental studies, graduating with a bachelor's degree in environmental technology and management. She then earned a master's degree in civil and environmental engineering from Tufts University in Boston.
Back in San Jose, she went on to cofound the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley to train Latina women to become civic leaders. By 2008, she had set her sights on her mother's supervisorial seat, but through a snafu, moved back into the district too late to qualify. Along with her second husband, she has now relocated to Japantown with the goal of winning the same seat.
"My focus will be a government that serves people in a transparent way," said Alvarado, "not to continue business as usual or use government to benefit special interests."
Teresa Alvarado
Age: 48

Report ranks Alabama law school 21st in U.S.
Business program, library also on list
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
A national magazine's ratings of the best graduate schools include the University of Alabama's law school, the library and information studies school and the master of business administration program.
U.S. News and World Report's 2014 edition ranks UA's School of Law 21st in the nation. The UA School of Library and Information Studies, which is part of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, ranked 18th. The master of business administration program, which is part of the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration, is rated 58th best among all MBA programs by the magazine.
"We are always pleased when our programs are recognized nationally," Judy Bonner, UA's president, said in a news release. "These graduate and professional programs offer an excellent education and a great value to our students."
UA's law school ranked in the magazine's top 25 for the first time, rising from 29th in the last listing.
The last time U.S. News ranked library and information studies programs, UA's ranked 22nd.
"The terrific work of our faculty members through strong research and teaching has significantly enhanced the profile of SLIS in the eyes of our sister schools across the U.S.," said Heidi Julien, director of the School of Library and Information Studies.
She called the ranking "an extraordinary achievement, which belongs to each member of our school community."
The MBA program moved up five spots from 63rd last year. The ranking places UA 29th among public universities.
"One of our goals is to become one of the top 25 business programs in the nation in both our graduate and undergraduate programs," said J. Michael Hardin, dean of the Culverhouse College of Commerce. "This is a good step in that direction."
