CASTRO VALLEY -- Are food trucks a creative way to bring new customers to an area, or do they steal customers from struggling brick-and-mortar restaurants? Both sides of the argument were heard -- loudly -- when the idea was floated at a merchants brainstorming session.
"Food trucks are a customer attraction," Bill Lambert, Alameda County's economic development assistant director, told a group of about 50 merchants and civic leaders who gathered Friday at Knudsen's Ice Creamery on Castro Valley Boulevard.
His comment prompted a profanity from Tom Kokezas of Tom & Tina's Deli on Redwood Road, who said the trucks take customers from restaurants.
Phil Woodman, co-founder of Food Truck Mafia, said that would have been his reaction 10 years ago. "I own brick and mortar, and I own food trucks. I get it. Restaurants are a tough business, and you have to evolve," he said.
He said he and his partners own Cahoots Burgers & BBQ in Hayward, Dino's Family Restaurant in Fremont and Sinodinos steak house in Newark, in addition to Pizza Pimps and Truckin Sweet food trucks.
Woodman said Food Truck Mafia does not profit from the gourmet food-truck gatherings it organizes. "We give back to the community; we don't keep any of the money," he said.
Last year, the mafia donated $175,000, which was paid by food trucks to be part of the weekly markets. He said he only makes money from his truck.
Lambert, who invited Woodman to speak to the merchants, said that if the trucks came to Castro Valley, perhaps the proceeds could be used to help market the community. The weekly visit by the trucks would be on a slow night for restaurants, either Tuesday or Wednesday. It would be in the parking lot at the vacant Daughtrey Building on Castro Valley Boulevard.
Retired restaurant owner J.D. Kitchel was not convinced, saying he is opposed to food trucks, which do not pay property taxes and are not actively involved in the community. "All the businesses in Castro Valley are struggling now, and there are only so many customers," he said.
Woodman maintained that the trucks bring new customers; the average truck has at least 1,000 followers on social media, and some have 15,000. And some of those people follow the trucks from site to site.
"Three weeks into it, there will be at least 500 people in your community who wouldn't be here otherwise," Woodman said. "I know there's a lot of concern. I'm not here to sell the idea of food trucks; we have about six cities waiting for us."
The food trucks would be a gift, drawing young adults to Castro Valley, said Dr. Andrew Moffatt of Groveway Veterinary Hospital. "On Tuesday nights, I've driven through this area, and it's dead as a cemetery," he said.
The comments went back and forth, until finally Lambert asked for a vote on having food trucks on a trial basis. An overwhelming number raised their hands in support. A group of volunteers will now work on details of the food trucks and other marketing ideas.
One of those volunteering is Christine Clement of the bakery Swiss Delices on Santa Maria Avenue.
"I'm absolutely for the trucks," she said. "They will bring more people into town, who will see all of our businesses."

Perfect :)) Nice apartment
very clean flat and everything was great!
we would gladly come back another time!
very nice appartment, excellent communication with FG....gladly again :)
Great apartment . Just refurbished and very close to the tube station. We were 6 people and every thing was fine. I recommend this place.
The location of this apartment was great, just in front of the Louvre and quiet!
The apartment itself was clean, the beds ok, but the bathroom has no window and the air circulation was poor in this room. So you can imagine the smell... Plus we couldn't use the sink, because the pipe was blocked somehow... The kitchen was equipped well, though we didnt cook... The fridge good, though the freezer box without a door. We stayed with two kids aged 11 and 13, all in all mediocre (agent himself didnt show up, no information about surroundings in the app., didnt know where to bring the rubbish.... But you have to say, the location was superb, so please fix some things in the bathroom!
The flat is in a good location, in a quiet street but still central. Unfortunately, this is obviously not a private flat but one that is only rented out by a company. Although everything existed as in the description, the flat has only had a minimal clean for many months and has been neglected ( mouldy washing machine, broken and dusty blinds, only one of four lightbulbs in the bathroom working to name but a few problems). A shame, with a little attention it woud be a great place to stay.
Nice apartament, Nice People FG. I recommend it.
The property was not as advertised. Very below standard, both bedrooms had mold/mildew and water damage. Lights coming out of the bathroom ceiling due to water leakage. Lights in bathroom and kitchen did not work. Bathroom dark. Linens old and worn, 1 thin towel per person. Cleaning not up to standard. Wimdu did not solve these issues to my satisfaction.
Very good service and information. Nice appartment not far from underground.
Fantastic apartament, clean and comfortable, city relay staff was very nice and helpfull. We had a great London holiday.Highly recomended.

First set highlights include a Tweezer with sparse, staccato-like jamming at the end, the plaintive debut of Train Song and a furious Timber that packs a lot of muscle into a short time.
Page is prominent in the Theme during the second set and the solid and tight Reba that follows. Antelope has plenty of Page, but the band fumbles the re-entry to the jam after the "Bid you to have any spike" line. Simple>Caspian is a super smooth transition, and another Page highlight.
The Hood starts off quietly, but Trey forces the band to speed up at about 9 minutes and it finishes strong.
A fun listen for Page fans, though nothing except perhaps the Timber is truly memorable.

LIVERMORE -- About 400 Lawrence Livermore Lab workers have taken advantage of a voluntary separation program, choosing to resign and accept buyouts, a lab spokeswoman said Monday.
A total of 383 employees had their last day on the job on Thursday. The buyouts are part of a program meant to trim jobs and prepare the lab for budget cutbacks.
Director Parney Albright announced the program in May, asking up to 600 employees to voluntarily resign and receive severance packages of one week of salary per year of service, for up to 26 weeks.
Lab spokeswoman Lynda Seaver said a total of 399 employees took advantage of the offer -- 383 had their last day at work on Thursday. Seaver said lab officials are trying to avoid involuntary layoffs, but won't have a clear picture of whether or not they'll be necessary until Congress hammers out the FY 2014 budget.
"This helps, but right now we need to wait and see what the budget numbers are," she said.
Under terms of the separation program, approved by the National Nuclear Security Administration, employees were given the option of collecting their payouts in a lump sum or through bi-weekly payments. They had a week to rescind their applications if they changed their minds.
A total of 440 employees applied, Seaver said, and 41 rescinded. Of the 399 employees approved to participate, 16 are taking a deferred separation because of their involvement with current projects. The employees are a cross-section of the lab's workforce, including operational support, scientists and technicians, Seaver said.
"We didn't eliminate any job categories," she said.
Figures on monetary savings from the program were not immediately available.
President Barack Obama's budget request for FY 2014 allocates $1.48 billion to the lab, a 10 percent cut from 2013 with sequestration factored in, according to Seaver. The next fiscal year begins Oct. 1.

Luscious Jackson Reunite For Live Show in New York
After a 13-year hiatus, Luscious Jackson is back together on disk with "Magic Hour." They performed this weekend at Webster Hall in New York, their hometown.
The word "breakup" seems a bit severe to describe their 2000 decision to retire the band, whose career began in '91 when the term "alt-rock" was in fashion. Jill Cunniff, Gabby Glaser and Kate Schellenbach aren't too fond of the word "reunion" either. "We're trying to avoid it," said Cundiff by phone shortly before "Magic Hour" was released last month. She added that the term reminded her of old-time rock bands who use in concert videos of deceased members to drum up memories.
Cunniff and Glaser have known each since they were 13 years old, and Cunniff said she'd met Schellenbach when they were three. With their friendship intact, it wasn't difficult to restart the machine, providing financing could be arranged. The group posted a note on the website PledgeMusic to raise funds. ("Yes, we're back!" the post began.) Cunniff said they reached their financial goal in two days.
"We got a very warm welcome," she added. "We're all hoping it's the beginning of a new era for us."
During their hiatus, Cunniff and Glasser released solo albums; Schellenbach, who had been the Beastie Boys' drummer before joining Luscious Jackson, served as a producer on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," among others. With "Magic Hour," Cunniff said, they set out to make a record that fit the Luscious Jackson catalogue.
"We wanted to be what we are," she said. "A lot more organic, maybe." Their first appearance after the album's release was on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Prior to the Letterman gig, they issued "Baby DJ," a sweet album for kids.
At Webster Hall, Luscious Jackson was kind of punky and kind of funky, building on crisp, busy patterns by Schellenbach. Supported by multi-instrumentalist Aaron Jones, the trio leaned heavily on the past, to the delight of the crowded house: They opened with "Here," from "Natural Ingredients," and "Daughters of Kaos," from their debut EP "In Search of Manny," thus pulling forward music from two decades ago. Later, they ripped into "Fantastic Fabulous," stripping from it the '60s-style girl group sweetness in their '99 version.
The new material worked: "Show Us What You Got" flowed into "Naked Eye" and "So Electric" from "Fever In Fever Out." The new tune "#1 Bum" bounced along on its reggae lilt. Built on clattering drums, "Are You Ready?" swept to a sing-along chorus. If the crowd didn't know "Magic Hour" coming in, it didn't seem to mind it during the show.
The show was far from flawless. Twice, Cunniff invited audience members on stage to dance; swamped and surrounded, the band members couldn't hear each other and missed cues. Several times, an onstage DJ started his recordings before the band was ready to kick in. But, as Cunniff explained, they were "a little nervous" at the start of their second concert in 13 years – their first at a venue they often snuck into as neighborhood kids.
When the music worked – "Nervous Breakthrough," the opening track on their '99 album "Electric Honey" found its groove early and provided the platform for the night's hottest performance – Luscious Jackson revealed they aren't a relic, and that grit, charm and new energy brings life back to the old sounds.

A 42-year-old North Carolina woman initially charged in the shooting death of a woman in Niagara Falls won't be indicted on a murder charge.
According to the Buffalo News, Niagara County Judge Matthew Murphy said the grand jury chose to indict Cammesoa Williams on a charge of criminal possession of a weapon, not murder.
The Winston-Salem resident was arrested along with her boyfriend in the shooting death of Tijuana Davis at the 39-year-old victim's apartment.
The newspaper reported that Williams' attorney Herbert L. Greenman successfully sought bail for his client.
Prosecutors said they couldn't discuss the indictment until an arraignment in a week.

This has proven to be a most exciting exploration of the meaning of beauty across Christian traditions and academic specialties; what do we mean by "mysticism" and how might works of art communicate the mystical experience of the artist, or even be the occasion of mystical experiences in the viewer?
On April 30th, please join us for a roundtable conversation about what we have learned through this ongoing interdisciplinary investigation of the relation between art and mysticism. It promises to be a lively exploration of some exceptional works of art and their link to the spiritual dimension of human living.
This event will take place between 7.30 pm and 9 pm on April 30th at Regis College in the MacGuigan Classroom. To register for this exciting event please click here.
For more information please email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone us at 416-922-5474.

Here's a traditional Thanksgiving favorite that many people get excited about because they've heard so many good things about the main attraction in the dish: Cranberry Sauce.
Cranberries pack big health benefits into a small, tart package. They are high in vitamin C, have antioxidant effects and antibacterial properties. Cranberries contain cancer-fighting flavanoids, they can decrease dental plaque and promote eye health, among many other advantages. So of course, most folks are cranberry fans — especially at Thanksgiving, when we all know that most of our favorite side dishes aren't exactly nutritionally valuable.
We've got some bad news folks. All the sugar you're adding to your home made cranberry sauce (or what the manufacturer has added to the brand you're buying) is pretty much neutralizing the health benefits of the cranberry itself.
So let's gather round the FoodFacts.com Thanksgiving table again and take a look at traditional cranberry sauce versus a fruity, low sugar recipe that you can REALLY feel good about.
Cranberries are common to North America and the first English settlers to the new world called them "craneberries," due their flowers that resemble the head of a crane. Native Americans already knew about the berry's health-promoting properties and often mixed it with pemmican, a dried meat mix, to preserve it for eating during the long New England winters. Cranberry sauce gained in popularity after General Ulysses S. Grant ordered it served to his troops during the siege of Petersburg, Virginia during the Civil War, and in 1912 it became available commercially under the name "Ocean Spray."
So let's use Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce as our comparison product (since the product shares part of the history of the dish). The serving size for the product is ¼ cup. It contains cranberries, high fructose corn syrup and water. Each of those ¼ cup servings contains 22 grams of sugar (or 5.5 teaspoons), as well as 110 calories.
We really prefer to prepare our own cranberry sauce here at FoodFacts.com. We're all in agreement that it tastes so much better home made. And we also know that the nutrient-packed cranberry adds more to our health when we cook it up in our own kitchens than when we pick it up off the grocery shelf. Here's a tasty cranberry sauce recipe that almost halves the sugar per serving:
3 cups fresh cranberries
¾ cup pineapple juice
½ cup good quality organic unsweetened applesauce
½ cup water
Zest of one orange
3 tablespoons honey
1. In a saucepan on your stove top, combine the first 4 ingredients and bring to a boil
2. Stir continually over medium heat until the cranberries begin to pop
3. Reduce heat to medium low
4. Add zest and honey
5. Cook another 15 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken
6. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving
It's such a simple recipe. Kids really love helping with this one because the cranberries pop in front of their eyes! This cranberry sauce cuts down on the sugar and is much more flavorful than canned varieties.
Join us at our Thanksgiving table next week when we'll look at a few more traditional dishes and how we can make them fit more comfortably into a healthy holiday!

SACRAMENTO -- In a huge victory for Gov. Jerry Brown, a panel of appellate court judges Thursday gave its blessing to the state's bullet train funding plan, paving the way for California to sell $8.6 billion in bonds it needs to construct the controversial San Francisco-to-Los Angeles rail line.
Opponents of the train had argued that the state needed to show how it would pay for the $68 billion project before it begins construction -- and with only a fraction of that funding in hand, doing so would have been impossible.
A Sacramento Superior Court judge late last year shocked high-speed rail officials when he ruled in favor of Kings County farmers and residents who had filed suit against the state to stop the bullet train. But in a unanimous decision issued late Thursday afternoon, the 3rd District Court of Appeal's three-judge panel ordered Judge Michael Kinney to vacate his decision.
"Substantial financial and environmental questions remain to be answered" by the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the state appellate court judges wrote. "But those questions are not before us today."
Attorneys for the state had sought an expedited ruling from the Court of Appeal because Kinney's decision imperiled both the project's state and federal funding.
The latest development now sets the stage for a possible state Supreme Court challenge, though an attorney for the project's opponents said Thursday night that his clients had not decided yet whether to seek an appeal.
In a decision the appellate court judges call "quite narrow," they found the rail authority's finance committee acted properly last year when it voted to approve the issuance of bonds and called Kinney's scrutiny of the committee's work "highly unusual." The state had asked for pre-approval from the Superior Court to sell the bonds to avoid any future legal challenges.
The appellate judges also refused to force the Legislature to rescind and redo a bullet train funding plan it approved several years ago that was at the heart of the opposition's case for killing the project.
"Because the Legislature appropriated bond proceeds following receipt of the preliminary funding plan approved by the Authority, the preliminary funding plan has served its purpose," the judges wrote.
Dan Richard, chairman of the rail authority's board, welcomed the court's ruling.
"The High-Speed Rail Authority has always been committed to building a modern high-speed rail system that will connect the state, precisely as the voters called for when they passed Proposition 1A" in 2008, Richard said. "The system will be a clean, fast, non-subsidized service, and will create jobs and enable smart, sustainable growth while preserving farmland and habitat."
But attorney Stuart Flashman, who represents the Kings County farmers and residents, called Thursday's court decision "a very bad ruling" that undermines the state's initiative process.
The approval of Proposition 1A gave the state the ability to sell $10 billion in bonds to get the high-speed rail line started. To access the money, the state must meet a long list of strict standards laid out in the text of the ballot measure.
"The point of this (lawsuit) was to prevent the state from moving forward and starting construction on a project they couldn't finish," Flashman said. "Today, the court reduced the requirements of the ballot measure to something that's meaningless -- and that's not what voters intended."
Instead of deciding whether the state had, in fact, violated Proposition 1A as the project's opponents claimed, the appellate judges ruled that the contentious funding plan was valid regardless because the state Legislature approved it.
"The authority went right around the requirements agreed upon by the voters, and they got away with it," Flashman said. "For political reasons, the Legislature made this approval, and now the court is saying there's nothing we can do about it."
Although Flashman said his clients had not decided whether to appeal to the state's highest court, observers of the legal battle over the bullet train's funding say an appeal is likely.
Thursday's court ruling comes almost two months after Brown brokered a budget deal that guarantees the rail line its first funding stream through fees collected from the state's biggest polluters. Within the next few years, leading economists say, bullet train funding could reach about three-quarters of a billion dollars a year.
Still, questions remain about the state's ability to obtain more construction funding from a skeptical Congress, and several other legal challenges remain unresolved. But private companies recently have begun expressing interest in the project -- which only several months ago seemed to be on life support.

There's money to be made from people's intimate needs
Personal training is where all the money is in the fitness industry these days, largely because Americans have discovered they can sweat themselves into Lake Zoar and still not be able to squeeze themselves into a single-digit dress size. That, and our stunning proclivity to wrench, twist, sprain and otherwise erode our bodies straight to the orthopedic office has resulted the stunning growth in personal training, a field whose employment grew 44 percent from 2001 to 2011.
A good friend of mine has a personal trainer and every now and then this friend will email me images of herself, in spandex, showing off the "results" she has achieved via her personal trainer, which I consider the rough equivalent of offering me a nibble of her chef's crumb cake. My friend doesn't have a chef, though she does have: a cleaning woman, seamstress, landscaper, manicurist, hair stylist, colorist, esthetician, psychotherapist and, of course, Bev, the trainer, who is just a whiz on the glycemic index.
In her new book, "The Outsourced Self," sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild exposes this strange intersection between intimate needs and commerce. Personal trainers are a minor, and in many cases, negligible symptom of a more widespread condition in which we contract out our "emotional labor." We now have not only therapists, but life coaches, love coaches, wedding planners, household consultants, friendly visitors, baby coaches and, my favorite, "wantologists" who help us discover what we really desire.
Today, it is possible to rent out one's womb, hire a stranger to give birth, sell one's sperm, one's blood, even one's eggs. In such a marketplace, where intimate acts have become commercial transactions, can we wonder about the popularity of such Internet sites as "Rent-A-Friend," where you can plug in a few variables — gender, sexual orientation, age — and discover a world of potential friends, who pop up like car invoices, complete with the color and body type in which they come and activities for which they're available.
There are even love coaches who teach erstwhile online daters how to hook a live one. "Everyone needs to aim for the middle so they can widen their market," one love coach tells Hochschild. Mediocrity and concision triumph, particularly in a medium where the user's next mouse click might be Peapod. "They want to quickly comb through the racks and snap their fingers, next next next. You can be too efficient, too focused on your list of desired characteristics, so intent on getting the best deal that you pass over the right one," the coach confides.
ch value\=\"226 128 166\"/=
So unimaginative and transactional have we become that there is a growing field of "nameologist," in which "professionals" charge up to $350 to give your child the most suitable moniker. (Silly me, I named mine after a saint.)
Technology, unsurprisingly, has made this easier. The Wall Street Journal reports on the growing number of apps for everything, including wearisome errands. Exec allows you to hire a personal assistant for shopping or cleaning. Get It Now delivers everything from tacos to toilet paper in under an hour throughout San Francisco. TaskRabbit finds someone to do your laundry, pick up your prescription, water your lawn or walk your dog with a tap of the finger.
"It is getting simpler to be slothful in a world where there is now an app for everything," the newspaper writes.
In a way, none of this is new. The moneyed class has always had its servants to feed them, wash them, turn down their coverlets and tuck them in to bed. But in too many of the outsourcing examples Hochschild cites, the Gal Friday rarely meets her employer. He or she is merely the mechanism of a transaction accessed through the swipe of a finger tip. This leads to what Hochschild calls the "depersonalization of our bonds with others."
Despite its often cumbersome nature, the constant rubbing up against strangers from different social and economic classes lubricate the gears of civility that generate empathy and make society run humanely. The more we divorce ourselves from those kinds of social interchanges, the coarser society becomes and the less well we know one another — and ourselves.

LOS ANGELES -- The Warriors' Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut finished fifth and 10th, respectively, in the voting for the NBA's defensive player of the year award won by Chicago's Joakim Noah.
"I'm thrilled," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Monday. "Congratulations to those guys. Just an incredible statement for them individually and for this organization.
"Those two guys fully deserve it and should be commended for at times carrying us and just being stellar defensively."
Iguodala, who guarded multiple positions with distinction, earned a first-place vote from USA Today's Jeff Zillgitt. Bogut led the Warriors in blocks, serving as the team's rim protector as he received his first-place vote from Warriors television analyst Jim Barnett, who also voted Iguodala second.
Iguodala received seven second-place and 21 third-place votes to finish behind Noah, Indiana's Roy Hibbert, the Los Angeles Clippers' DeAndre Jordan and Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka.
"I thought he should have won," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said of Jordan.
The two are very familiar with each other, with Rivers knowing that they shared the same October birthday and musing that they were both "two stubborn fools."
O'Neal, who started his second straight game in place of the injured Bogut, played for Rivers the last time he was in a playoff series, with the Boston Celtics in 2011.
"He's been amazing," Rivers said before the game. "He played great. I thought he was probably one of, if not the most important player in Game 1, he was close."
"Oooh, that's tragic," said Warriors forward Draymond Green, who along with Iguodala and David Lee had four turnovers apiece. "Aw, man. You can't win like that.
"We'll be fine. We'll make the necessary correction. You can't try to blame it on one guy either, because it was all of us."
"I thought we really kept the game simple tonight," Rivers said.
The Los Angeles Times contributed to this report.

{Christina, I'm talking to you.}
Why do we love Rachel McAdams so much?
She was in two of our favorite movies, Mean Girls and The Notebook. She's a natural beauty, looks fantastic regardless of her hair color and seems like your typical girl next door. If I were a celeb in Hollywood, I would definitely want her to be my famous BFF. I just wish she'd get back together with Ryan Gosling and make beautiful babies.
Either that or she can start dating Justin Timberlake...

We appreciate you taking the time to help us.
If you're looking to make a smooth start to your journey, you need to make sure you have the right documents, such as a valid passport and the relevant visas. Without these essentials, you may not be allowed to travel. In most cases, it should be fairly simple to sort out.
Unless you are flying solely within the UK you'll need a passport or an equivalent travel document that is valid for the full duration of your trip.
Some countries additionally require that the passport is valid for a minimum period beyond your trip — usually three or six months. Visit the IATA Travel Centre to check the passport validity requirements of your destination:
Check passport validity requirements
Your children will also need their own passports — even infants under two years old.
Processing times for passports vary but it may take six weeks or longer to receive a passport after applying, so we advise that you wait until your passport has arrived before making a reservation. Many countries offer fast-track applications where required.
If you are flying solely within the UK, including Northern Ireland, you do not need a passport but we advise that you carry photographic identification with you when travelling, such as your passport or driving licence. This may be requested at certain points in your journey. Children under the age of 16 years old do not require identification to travel within the UK.
If you are a citizen of the UK or Republic of Ireland who was born in that country you do not need a passport to travel between the two countries but you do require some form of photographic identification, such as a driving licence.
All other travellers require a valid passport to travel between the two countries.
If you need a passport or need to renew an existing one you can apply directly to your nation's passport office. In the UK, that's the UK passport service:
If you'd like help with your application, British Airways has partnered with VisaCentral, a company that will do all of the hard work for you. You'll get a 30% discount on VisaCentral's service fees as a British Airways customer.
Depending on your nationality and the purpose of your journey, you may need a visa or an equivalent form of authorisation for every country you enter as part of your journey — even if you are only changing flights. This is in addition to a valid passport.
For free, accurate and up-to-the-minute advice on visa requirements and certain types of entrance fees, visit the IATA Travel Centre. You'll also be able to check passport and health requirements, as well as customs, currency and airport information for your destination:
Check your visa, passport and health requirements
If it indicates you need a visa for your journey, you can apply directly with the embassy or high commission of the country you want to travel to — visit their website or local consulate to learn more about the process.
If you are a national of Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan or USA, you can join the 'Registered Traveller' scheme and enjoy faster entry to the UK, as long as you have a biometric passport.
Once you apply, the UK Border Force will carry out checks to see if you are eligible to join, and once you're accepted you won't need to fill out a landing card for the UK. You'll be able to enter the UK at the ePassport gates, the UK/EU lanes at London Heathrow or the Registered Traveller lanes at London Gatwick.
More information about the Registered Traveller scheme (pdf, 67kb, English only)
Citizens of countries covered by the Visa Waiver Programme (such as the UK) are able to travel to the USA without a visa providing they hold a valid Electronic System Travel Authorisation (ESTA) and meet the requirements of the programme.
As of 1 April 2016, if you're travelling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, you will also need to have a valid e-Passport along with your ESTA.
e-Passports include an integrated computer chip capable of storing biographic and biometric information, such as the digital photograph of the holder. You can identify an e-Passport by the 'chip' symbol on its front cover.
You can apply for an ESTA online and should receive approval straight away, although we recommend applying at least 72 hours before your departure. An ESTA is valid for multiple journeys for up to two years or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner.

About the Book
A decades-old murder, a strange superstition, an enormous snake, and one giant secret are about to rock the beautiful Belle Vue to its core.
It is a time of great upheaval for the Belgian Congo and Belle Vue is not safe from the changes. But there are more pressing problems as an unsolved disappearance brings up issues for some of the denizens of the village. Add to that a sudden influx of strangers and a horrible storm that literally divides the village in half, and suddenly danger seems to be everywhere.
The lovely young American missionary Amanda, the police chief Captain Pierre Jardin, and the local witch doctor and his wise-woman wife, Cripple, all become embroiled in the mystery as evil omens and strange happenings at every turn suggest that more lives will be lost before the true killer is unmasked.

ORANGEBURG, SC -- On the wings of seven runs over the final four innings, the Railsplitters erased a 5-1 deficit en route to an 8-6 victory over the Claflin University Panthers in non-conference baseball action on Wednesday afternoon in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Lincoln Memorial University (1-3) snapped a three-game losing streak to open the season with the win, while Claflin (0-4) was sunk for the fourth-consecutive time to open the 2013 campaign.
The Railsplitters broke out offensively in the nine-inning victory over the Panthers, as they pounded out 12 hits and amassed eight runs. Cody Baker led the way at the top of the order for Lincoln Memorial with a three-for-five effort, which was matched by Andre Rodriguez, who added three runs and an RBI to his stat ledger. Six other hitters tallied a base-knock in the game to round out the Railsplitters' 12-hit outburst. Colin Buckner and Lee Agosto added two RBIs apiece while each of those individuals finished one-for-five at the plate.
Lincoln Memorial opened with a first-inning single by Cody Baker, however, the senior was caught stealing to stifle the potential rally. In the bottom half of that frame, the Panthers capitalized by taking early command of the board, as Cody Huck was hit by a pitch and Julio Iglesias drove him home with a two-run blast. The Railsplitters hit three more batter to load the bases, however, Ian Creager came on to record the final out of the frame.
After an unblemished second frame, LMU put one run on the board. Carter Pack led off with a single, advanced to second on a ground out, moved to third on Cody Baker's single and scored on Colin Buckner single to cut the deficit to 2-1.
The Panthers answered that run with a one-run fourth and a two-run fifth to establish a 5-1 advantage. Claflin used an RBI-ground out by Cody Huck to earn their run in the bottom of the fourth. In the bottom of the fifth, they rallied with two-outs, using a Darius Osby single and a Travis Griffin ground out to score two.
Beginning in the top of the sixth, the Railsplitters began to chip away at the deficit. Andre Rodriguez pounded a one-out single, moved to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a fly out and scored on an error later in the inning to move the score to 5-2. The Railsplitters added another run in the top of the seventh frame, as Cody Baker notched a two-out single and scored on an error by the second baseman in the next at-bat.
Trailing 5-3, the Railsplitters rallied to knot the game with a pair of runs in the top of the eighth. Rodriguez opened with his third hit of the game, a single to third base, and newcomer Josh Coker pounded a double in the next at-bat to put runners on second and third with no outs. Colin Buckner drove in Rodriguez with a sacrifice fly two batters later and pinch hitter Nick Pressley capped the scoring rally with an RBI single three batters later to plate Coker.
The Railsplitters briefly relinquished the lead in the bottom of the eighth, as the Panthers plated a run on Jasper Brown's RBI single, however, LMU responded with three runs on three hits in the top of the ninth to stave off defeat. Andre Rodriguez, Colin Buckner and Nick Morabito all notched RBI singles in that frame to pace the scoring. The Panthers mounted a brief rally in the bottom of the ninth, as Travis Griffin tallied a one-out single. However, a strike out and a line out ended the game for the Panthers with LMU earning an 8-6 win on the road.
Four pitchers combined to lead the Railsplitters to victory in today's contest. Dillon Swaggerty picked up the win, the first of his collegiate career, after coming on in relief. Swaggerty allowed three hits and one run while striking out two over the final two frames. Patrick Morris tossed two solid innings, surrendering only one hit and no runs over that span, while Ian Creager ate up four and a third innings of relief. Creager allowed five hits and three runs over that span after relieving starter Dylan Reid in the opening frame.

OAKLAND -- Two weeks after voters elected her challenger to the Oakland school board, Alice Spearman is still fighting to keep her seat, this time in court.
Spearman's opponent, James Harris, won by a 14-point margin with nearly 57 percent of the vote, supported by a groundswell of financial and volunteer support marshaled by Great Oakland Public Schools, a relatively new coalition of reform-minded parents, teachers and others in the Oakland school system.
On Tuesday, however, Spearman's attorney filed a motion in Alameda County Superior Court, arguing Harris has no right to sit on the Oakland school board because of where he lives. Harris lives in Oakland, but his neighborhood -- Sheffield Village -- broke away from the school district decades ago, joining neighboring San Leandro Unified.
Residents on Harris' street have a say in who represents them on the Oakland City Council District 7 seat but not on the Oakland school board. They elect a representative on the San Leandro board of education instead.
In other words, Harris wasn't able to vote in his own race.
"They didn't vote for themselves, but they want to represent District 7 on the school board," Spearman said, referring to Harris. "It's asinine."
But the case is complicated. The Oakland City Charter -- which governs election rules -- states that the City Council boundaries must be identical to the school district boundaries. In addition, Harris' children, who attend a private school, had the option of attending one of two so-called "neighborhood schools," one in San Leandro Unified and one in Oakland Unified.
Since Harris lives in City Council District 7, Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker has determined he is eligible to represent the same district on the school board. Parker's testimony was presented in late August in response to an earlier effort by Spearman to keep Harris' name off the ballot. Judge William A. McKinstry denied that motion. He ruled that even if Harris did live in the San Leandro school district, "it is unclear whether that fact would render him legally ineligible to run for the Oakland School Board Director for District 7, given the text of the City Charter."
Spearman's attorney, Marc Guillory, filed another challenge in September, but later dropped it, saying his client would wait until after the election to decide how to proceed.
Harris and his attorney, Rod Divelbiss, have said they aren't too concerned about the latest disqualification effort, given the city's charter and the judge's August ruling. Still, Harris said it was disappointing Spearman hadn't conceded.
"I really feel like she's picking on me because she didn't get the outcome she wants," Harris said.
Spearman, who did not attend the school board meeting after the election, has represented District 7 on the school board since 2005. An Oakland Unified School District graduate whose children and grandchildren have gone through the system, she is known for her tough demeanor and frank, seemingly unfiltered remarks to staff members, board colleagues, and even members of the audience.
Guillory, Spearman's attorney, said he issued subpoenas to the San Leandro school district, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, and the Alameda County Treasury. A hearing has been set for Dec. 19.
Oakland's elected officials take office in early January.
In an email, Guillory wrote, "While this is admittedly a complicated issue, it does appear that Ms. Spearman has the truth and facts on her side, and we look forward to the hearing and discussion on December 19, 2012."

Whether it's traditional, vegetarian, white with chicken or another flavor, the annual Marietta Family YMCA Chili Cook-off is sure to have something for everyone.
The annual event, now in its 12th year, has expanded over the years to include a broader selection of food, more space and ample parking. Added to the event this year is a cash bar and the popular band Hip Pocket.
"It worked out well to move to the Shrine Club last year," said Suzy Zumwalde, the YMCA's executive director. "I moved here a little over a year ago and I was amazed at the fun people were having and from all the community support from the restaurants and individuals ... and there was nothing (food-related) that I didn't try last year."
Along with different types of chili, the event, from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, also features soups and desserts, which will be judged on an individual and professional level.
"We have 40-plus chilis, soups and desserts that will be available," said Karen Shaner, membership experience director. "The event just gets bigger every year. People love chili on a cool evening."
First, second and third place will be awarded to restaurants and also to individuals in each category.

Austyn's restaurant will be one of a handful of places returning this year to compete in the professional level of each category.
Head chef Jeff Els will be preparing a chili, a soup and a dessert for the event, according to David Nicols, with the restaurant.
"We're doing a Texas-style con carne with oven-roasted strip loin, a cake, which has received rave reviews (from patrons) and the soup will be a chipotle, sweet potato bisque. It will have some heat, a smoky background and some sweetness," Nichols said.
The goal of the event this year is to again raise $5,000 for the YMCA.
"The money goes a long way to helping with our programs and activities and to help children in the community," said Zumwalde. "It helps us to be able to provide scholarships and helps to keep fees down."
Zumwalde also added, "I think it's successful because it's fun, it's good food and it's priced right."

Halle Berry's ex probably isn't very thankful for what happened on Thanksgiving.
Following a Thanksgiving day brawl at Berry's home between her ex boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and her current man Olivier Martinez, the Los Angeles County Department of Family and Children Services will formally reopen an abuse investigation involving Berry and Gabriel's 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, according to RadarOnline.
Aubry and Berry's fiance, Olivier Martinez, both ended up in the hospital after they got in a fight on Nov. 22. Aubry was photographed Monday with a black eye. Martinez had a swollen hand. You do the math.
Aubry was arrested and is now facing battery and misdemeanor charges. Because Nahla was present during the fight, police formally contacted DCFS after Aubry was arrested, a source told the website.
According to TMZ, Berry got an temporary restraining order against Aubry, which she's trying to turn into a permanent order.
This guy may have won the lottery in the looks department, but was obviously out sick the day they were handing out smarts.
"Nahla wasn't actually involved in the melee, and by all accounts, Halle whisked her out of the driveway as soon as the fight between Olivier and Gabe started. However, DCFS was contacted because there has been a history of allegations of physical abuse. Social workers will be interviewing Halle, Gabriel and Olivier about what happened on Thanksgiving. DCFS must ensure that Nahla's environment is safe," the source told RadarOnline.
In January, Aubry was investigated for criminal child endangerment and battery allegations, after the nanny he employed to care for Nahla claimed that he pushed her into a door while she held his daughter in her arms. The case was later dropped upon the recommendation of DCFS, which ultimately found no evidence that Nahla was in any danger.
Berry and Aubry have battled for months over custody of the little girl. The actress' request to be allowed to move to France with her daughter was recently rejected by a judge.
