In a parking lot behind the Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto, James and Susan Russaw are making the best of a bad situation.
The retired couple has been living out of an old motor home since December, when a rent increase they said they couldn't afford forced them from their one-bedroom, $800 per month apartment. They had hoped to have an actual roof over their heads by now.
"We were so naïve to think it would go quickly," Susan, 68, said about being on a waiting list for affordable housing.
The Russaws are among a difficult to pin down number of people who rely exclusively on their vehicles for shelter in a city that is perhaps better known for its seven-figure real estate.
The so-called "vehicle dwellers" run the gamut, from those who are simply down on their luck to those who are locked in place by addiction or mental illness. But if a new ordinance on its way to the city council is passed, all of them could be forced to move out of Palo Alto for good.
A newly formed coalition of faith leaders, homeless advocates and vehicle dwellers is aiming to prevent that from happening.
"Our challenge is to find out whether a majority of Palo Altans don't want this ban and don't want to inflict harm on those who can least afford it," said Edie Keating, a member of both the nascent Stop the Ban Coalition and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto.
On June 25, the city council's Policy and Services Committee voted 3-0 to recommend passage of an ordinance that would make it a municipal code violation for a person to live in a vehicle. Enforcement would be complaint-driven with a focus on linking violators to social services and rely on the criminal justice system as a last resort, according to city officials.
Committee members reasoned at the time that it was time to change Palo Alto's status as the only city in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties without such an ordinance on the books.
"We are not exactly striking out into new territory here," Council Member Larry Klein said before the vote. "We're actually plugging a hole that our predecessors had left -- perhaps deliberately, perhaps not."
But research by coalition members shows Palo Alto isn't alone. The city's immediate neighbors, East Palo Alto and Menlo Park, don't outright prohibit people from living in their cars, Keating said.
If the ordinance is adopted, Palo Alto will only succeed in moving a social problem to another jurisdiction and set a precedent for other cities to follow, said James Lee, a spokesman for the coalition.
"This is a step in the wrong direction," Lee said.
Keating also rejected the committee's concern that the lack of a ban is turning Palo Alto into a beacon for vehicle dwellers. Many of them are like the Russaws and have a pre-existing connection to the city, said Keating, who has gotten to know several through a church program.
"There's nothing like Palo Alto," Susan said when asked why she and James didn't try to find housing in a different city. "It's unique. We grew up here. We raised our daughter here."
The ordinance has been more than two years in the making. It was initially put forward because of concerns residents had raised over unsanitary and aggressive behavior on the part of some vehicle dwellers.
Susan agreed that there are a few troublemakers. However, most try to keep a low, if not positive profile. Her 84-year-old husband, for instance, regularly sweeps up around the couple's motor home because he was raised to leave things better than he found them, she said.
"There are some bad apples that make it hard for others," she said. "But there are so many others who are trying to save their paychecks, get that first and last month's rent, so that they can get into a place."
The Stop the Ban Coalition, which held its first meeting on Monday, is still getting organized but two events are already planned: a potluck for vehicle dwellers at Cubberley Community Center on July 27 and a rally at City Hall on Aug. 5, when the city council returns from its summer break.
Meanwhile, the coalition is scheduled to hold its second meeting today, from 2 to 4 p.m., at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto, located at 505 E. Charleston Road.
Susan expressed hope that the city council would focus resources on helping people like her and James instead of passing a new law that would make it illegal for them to keep living in their motor home while they wait for housing.
"We're lucky to have a little spot," Susan said about the parking lot. "Believe me, it could be worse."

High-wheelers, history at J.A. Cooley Museum
Take a television tour of the J.A. Cooley Museum on "Overdrive San Diego"
J.A. Cooley Museum, 4233 Park Blvd., North Park, off El Cajon Boulevard.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Admission: $5, $2 children; Guided tours for three or more people available.
Info: (619) 296-3112 and www.JACooleyMuseum.org
• Take a television tour of the J.A. Cooley Museum on "Overdrive San Diego." We highlight the facility and owner Jim Cooley. http://www.utsandiego.com/tv/shows/overdrive/.
Jim Cooley has managed to place two dozen cars in his Park Boulevard museum that is packed with just about all forms of collectibles and memorabilia.
The J.A. Cooley Museum is a showcase of all things vintage in an old storefront, much of it with worn wood floors. The roughly 10,000-square-foot space is lined with displays, rows of cases and shelving laden with significant prizes.
A third-generation San Diegan, Cooley's diverse interests range from music players and phonographs to spittoons, lamps and lanterns, flat irons, barbed wire, bottles, war posters, dolls, pocket knives. There is also an admirable collection of early electric toy trains and the museum also is home to Frank the Trainman, specializing in current trains and accessories.
Near the entrance is a broad, bright and booming Wurlitzer band organ from the early 1900s. It was the predecessor to the juke box and modern boom-box. The Wurlitzer was often used in skating rinks, carousels, dance halls and for military formation drills. Stand back when Cooley plugs it in, it's loud.
He has been a gatherer much of his life and still has a keen eye for valuables. His wife of 43 years, Carmen, is always nearby.
He even has a couple of old Jenny (Curtiss JN) biplanes stashed away. And, yes, he used to fly them. He won't discuss his age except to say that the doctor who tended to his birth drove a 1901 or 1902 Curved Dash Oldsmobile. Of course, he has a 1903 Olds on display.
For car enthusiasts, it is the automotive history that resonates. Cooley says representatives from the Smithsonian Institution have looked over his collection and said it is possibly the best group of early automobiles in the United States.
Of the cars on view, 17 are 100 years or older. His focus tells the evolution of the automobile, from an 1885 Benz Model 1 to an autonomous driving Buick from 1994. Many of the cars have local histories and Cooley can recount each. For example, the 1910 Hunt Special on view is a one-of-one built in National City for $16,000, a sum that likely could have bought the city back then, Cooley said with a laugh.
The Hunt is huge and ornate, like an Elizabethan time traveler with a 60-inch track between the wheels and 18 inches of ground clearance. It is powered by a 392-cubic-inch flat four-cylinder engine that fits beneath the front floor boards. Curb weight is around 10,000 pounds, Cooley expects.
There's a good yarn about how this car came to be, which is profiled with all the museum's vehicles in "The Automobile Collection of the J.A. Cooley Museum." The well-illustrated paperback ($20 at the museum) has good automotive detail, but also good history about old San Diego.

South Korea Online Buzz: Spy Agency Resignation
The resignation of a senior official at South Korea's main spy agency after further indictments in a case surrounding an inquiry into a North Korean defector for suspected espionage is one of the hot topics online in Korea this morning.
Suh Cheon-ho, one of three vice chiefs at the National Intelligence Service, resigned late Monday after prosecutors said they had indicted an additional agency employee and a China-based diplomat for their involvement in allegedly falsifying official documents, according to national media. President Park Geun-hye accepted the letter of resignation, media said.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office said Monday that the two officials, in addition to another diplomat surnamed Kwon, last year produced a letter to the prosecution falsely certifying the immigration records of North Korean defector Yu Woo-sung on the Sino-Chinese border. Those records are also under investigation for forgery.
The prosecution has charged five people involved in the case: two diplomats, two spy agents and a Chinese national who allegedly was hired to fabricate an official Chinese document to be sent to the Shenyang-based South Korean Consulate in China's northeast.
The Chinese employee and one of the agents were charged late last month of falsifying Mr. Yu's immigration records to help make the case against him. The agency and prosecutors in charge of Mr. Yu's case have argued that Mr. Yu made multiple trips to North Korea post-defection through the Chinese border, which Mr. Yu rejects.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office said it didn't charge agency head Nam Jae-joon, citing insufficient evidence. Mr. Nam, a former army chief of staff and deputy commander of the U.S.-South Korea Combined Forces Command, has faced calls for his resignation from opposition parties. Prosecutors that presented the allegedly fabricated evidence didn't get indicted either after they denied knowingly submitting the documents.
The indictment for Mr. Kwon, who attempted suicide late last month and remains hospitalized, was suspended effective Monday until his recovery, prosecution said. Mr. Kwon had been stationed at the South Korean Consulate in Shenyang in China's northeast.
The National Intelligence Service said on Tuesday morning it didn't have any immediate comment on the latest developments in the case. Mr. Suh couldn't be reached for comment.

How to score RED PILL ALPHA DOG points by harassing your waitress
Now, some WEAK ASS BETA MANGINAS think that you shouldn't deliberately annoy waitstaff because, you know, they're human beings like you and me simply trying to get through their work day, and why the fuck would you want to deliberately make their lives worse for no good reason, that sounds kind of pointlessly rude, I mean what the hell's wrong with you? Heck, even I used to think that. But that was before I discovered the RED PILL subreddit.
That's right, ALPHA DOGS, we're returning to that wondrous place we first visited last month to learn some more TIGHT ASS GAME to use on the hot babes. Specifically, we're going to be learning some TIGHT-ASS KNIFE GAME. No, I'm not talking about stabbing anyone, fellas, except maybe "stabbing" some hot young babe with your you-know-what later, if you know what I mean, wink wink nudge nudge nudge?
(You do know what I mean, right? By "you-know-what" I mean your penis, and I'm trying to suggest that if you master KNIFE GAME you may later have the opportunity to have consensual sexual intercourse with a young woman, which is something that someone might colloquially refer to as "stabbing" due to the regular thrusting of the penis into the vagina that is a central feature of coitus.)
Anyway, KNIFE GAME involves actual knives. DINNER KNIVES, whoooo!
I learned all about it from a cool Red Pill dude called ATowne who wrote up a totally ALPHA DOG FIELD REPORT for his RED PILL ALPHA BUDDIES about how he totally scored some points with some totally hot waitresses and like even got one of their NAMES!
Because waitresses love customers who take advantage of the leverage they have over them as customers to just fuck with them. And they especially love it when these customers are ALPHA DOG ASSHOLES trying to get into their PANTS. Because that is such a TOTALLY ORIGINAL MOVE as well as being ALPHA AS FUCK. Trust me, NO ONE HAS EVER DONE IT BEFORE. Except maybe a couple of these RED PILL ALPHA DOGS.
Unfortunately, some of ATowne's BLUE PILL friends kept cock-blocking him and calling him a douche and apologizing to the waitresses for his behavior but it didn't matter because it didn't stop him from having this totally awesome INTERACTION WITH A WOMAN:
Cute waitress comes by and I decide to focus on her. She brings me a fork for my salad and I smile and say "no knife?" After a little back and forth she comes back with the knife and I get her name. A little while later I call her over, give her the knife and say "I don't need it, I'm eating a salad." She smiles at first, then looks frustrated and as she's walking away "nice way to get my name…"
I'm the only one of the group who actually goes and talks to girls, so my life is the center of conversation almost always. They are talking about how I am an asshole, making the poor waitress take time out of her busy day to bring me a fucking knife. Are you serious? Anyway, cute waitress is ignoring my table and eye contact, but I can see her looking at my peripherally. I stop caring and talk to my friends and then catch her slipping while she's walking because she was 'looking away' (directly where she was going) but peripherally looking at me. …
I see the cute waitress as I'm leaving and say "hey, don't take the knife stuff personally." She says "I know, I was kidding." I follow up with "Okay, I'm ____, see you around." Cringe.
Cringe, man, THAT IS totally fucking ALPHA!
Also, what kind of name is "____?" A totally fucking ALPHA name is all I know!
I found this wonderful RED PILL field report via the Blue Pill subreddit, which is sort of an awesome tribute to the RED PILL subreddit, though I am beginning to suspect that some of the people there do not fully understand the totally BADASS nature of the RED PILL PHILOSOPHY.
EDITED TO ADD: I forgot about this TOTALLY RAD scene from the movie "Made" in which ALPHA DOG Vince Vaughn demonstrates some ALPHA MOVES with a flight attendent who is obviously totally into him. Watch and learn, beta fools!
Posted on June 6, 2013, in alpha males, are these guys 12 years old?, bad boys, beta males, creepy, douchebaggery, field report, I am making a joke, I'm totally being sarcastic, men who should not ever be with women ever, misogyny, penises, PUA, red pill, reddit, sexual harassment and tagged misogyny, pick-up artists, pickup artists, PUA, reddit.

He made a complete buffoon out of himself then, didn't he? It was a real question of which Rethuglican candidate was the biggest fool.
So, I told my mother about the case when she asked why I was asking about the legality of AK's…sit down and swallow for this.
Well it is theft.
Of an illegal service.
But she stole his money.
He shot her, instead of pressin theft charges.
At which point I walked away before I lost it. Liberal New England…can I get that airlift too?
Money more important than someone's life, yup, there it is, the American Dream.
Prolly the Australian one too, not far under the surface.
@Pecunium: Very true that the AK is less accurate. However, it's simple to use, very tolerant of abuse and I've yet to have one jam up on me. I can't say as much for the other firearms I've had experience with. And that's really the point of it. It was designed so that just about anyone could use it successfully and not fail under stress or in bad conditions.
It was also designed to be underpowered and to be used for combat under 400 meters. It was the post WW2 answer to the Sturmgewehr 44. For accuracy and power, I'd definitely choose something else, but for reliability, I'll take the Kalashnikov any day. It's going to fire every time.
Then again, most rifles don't impress me that much anymore in the power department.
I find it hilarious that that pathetic interaction, in which he made a waitress dislike him, is what he's got to brg about.
What I find baffling about all this talk of alphas is that I've met a pretty wide cross section of people in my day, but the ones who win the multiple partner olympics are NOT "alpha" males. Not even close. In fact, they're the ones that the "alphas" would probably call metros or f*gs.
I would say that "alpha" males are smack dab in the middle of the normal distribution when it comes to number of sexual partners. (Which, last time I checked, wasn't awfully high… something under 10, iirc). What I'm guessing they mean is that meathead dudes are more confident in approaching sorority girl types. Which, duuhh… why would a shy, bookish/nerdy/timid guy even want to be in the same room with your stereotypical female meathead? I mean, after the sex things would get dull fast as it would became abundantly clear that the two had nothing in common and no real chemistry.
What would cure these "alpha"-wannabes would be a nice string of exactly the kind of hookups they *think* they want.

San Marcos trustee to resign; family leaving area
SAN MARCOS San Marcos Unified School District trustee David Horacek will resign from the school board because he is moving his family to Florida for business reasons.
Horacek made the announcement Monday night during a board meeting.
Board President Jay Petrek said Tuesday that the board will not hold a special election to replace Horacek and will look to make an appointment by March.
Horacek, elected six years ago, has lived in San Elijo Hills with his wife and two daughters, ages 7 and 10. He said he will leave the board in early March.
Horacek runs a satellite communications business that provides Internet at sea for super-yachts — 120 feet or larger.
He said the hub of his customer base is in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., but he will continue to operate the business as a California-based entity.
Horacek said his business has required him to travel about two weeks a month for boat shows in the Mediterranean and Caribbean and in Florida.
"As the business has grown in that area, so has my need to be there," he said.
Horacek said the travel schedule has been a challenge to his family and the business. He said the move will allow him to work regular hours during the day and spend nights with his family.
"Family has always been the reason I ran for the school board," he said. "I wanted to be an active part of the community. And my family is also the reason I have to move."
The school board last appointed a member to fill a vacancy in 2002, when then-trustee Mike Preston was elected to the City Council. Petrek was appointed to fill Preston's position.

The choice options are higher in Amaze, but Sail is not far behind, in terms of pricing both models are priced competitively at Rs 5-7.6 lakhs. With respect to safety, the Amaze is implanted with essential standard features in all models unlike the Sail, and hence in terms of safety the Amaze is a worthier purchase. The interiors volume is abundant in both models but Sail has a higher level of high tech fitments for a luxurious drive experience. The mileage in Amaze diesel is unmatched; hence the diesel segment is a worthier purchase than Sail.
The competition is stiff with both cars.

Oracle employee Day Five.
My first week as an Oracle employee draws to a close with more exposure to Oracle people as we plan a product roadmap session for the Sales Managers and Sales Consultants. We got some Product Management people in, along with a couple of us from the Sales Consulting side of things and have planned a full day of product roadmap training next week before going straight into the full Oracle Sales Kick-Off for Australia/New Zealand.
It is a positive, high-energy, full of momentum time for us here at the moment. I'm really looking forward to the next few months as we get our teams integrated and start to work around a consistent, coherent, class-leading set of products.
I can't wait.

DENTON, Texas — After graduating its first class of students earlier this year, the Peterbilt Technician Institute (PTI) has expanded to a second location in Lisle, Ill., with classes beginning this week.
Peterbilt Motors Co. teamed with Universal Technical Institute (UTI) to create the comprehensive technician training program last year at UTI's Dallas campus. Applications for enrollment are currently being accepted for PTI at both campuses.
"Because of the success of our inaugural Peterbilt Technician Institute, we're very pleased to grow the program in the key Chicago market and we plan to continue expansion to other locations nationwide," Robert Woodall, Peterbilt director of sales and marketing, said. "PTI provides our dealer network with a great resource for staffing their service areas with qualified, highly trained technicians that will ultimately result in greater shop productivity and profitability, while helping ensure the highest possible levels of customer satisfaction."
PTI is a 12-week program conducted in conjunction with UTI that features exclusive classroom and hands-on instruction of total vehicle diagnostics, maintenance and repairs. It also covers essential workplace topics such as customer service, dealership shop operations and laws and regulations. Students graduate with a bumper-to-bumper knowledge of commercial vehicles, including a focus on the complete lineup of Peterbilt trucks and PACCAR engines, Woodall said. Students are sponsored by Peterbilt dealerships which then offer graduates employment upon completion of the program.
The program is part of UTI's Manufacturer Specific Advanced Training (MSAT) and classes are taught by a dedicated UTI instructor with support from Peterbilt.
"PTI and other training offered through Universal Technical Institute are among the most comprehensive of its kind and prepares students with the education and hands-on experience that provide a solid foundation for a successful career," said Kim McWaters, chairman and chief executive officer at UTI. "Our dynamic learning environment, highly effective instructors and proven curriculum are helping the commercial vehicle industry and others overcome the shortage of qualified, skilled technicians."

LOS LUNAS, N.M. - With a tiny shop that's bursting at the seams, management at Los Lunas Motorsports, about 20 miles south of Albuquerque, is looking forward to the new store it's building from the ground up.
Management said it can't wait to say goodbye to the 5,000 sq. ft. store that joined the Motorsports New Mexico group in 2006. But that's because the business is thriving on sales of Arctic Cat, KYMCO, Polaris, Victory and Suzuki and has little space for parts, garments and accessories.
The new 14,000 sq. ft. store, at a cost of about $1 million, will show off those brands and offer plenty of space for goodies, too.
"The showroom space will be almost double what the whole building was," said District Manager Chance Leonard. "When we purchased it was Polaris only, and we've added Suzuki, Victory and Arctic Cat."
The move, expected in December, will also raise the store's profile with freeway frontage and automotive neighbors.
"Where our location is now, it's really kind of off the beaten path. If you didn't know where it is you might not see it," Leonard said. "We were just looking for location. [The new site is] right on the freeway on- and offramp. It's nestled in between auto dealers right there. We're right next to all the auto guys."
Building from scratch made more sense than renovating an existing building, partly because the freeway frontage was available and partly because the group could make the new space a showcase.
"We got to design our retail showroom space. It'll have big, glass, roll-down doors so even when it's closed it'll be lit up," Leonard said. "We hope to really expand all PG&A, whether it be Oakley or Fox or whatever. In the building we have, we couldn't even order it with the space we have."
Management his hoping to conquer the market south of Albuquerque with the new store. Competition in the local powersports industry is largely focused on Albuquerque and points north, pulling rural and recreational customers. Los Lunas is part of a three-store concern that also includes Las Cruces Motorsports and Santa Teresa Motorsports, both near the Mexican border and not far from the Texas state line and a large military community.
"Los Lunas is kind of a breakfast community for Albuquerque," Leonard said. "There's really not a lot in the way of powersports dealers south of Albuquerque. South of Los Lunas is a little more agricultural community called Belen…" with a population of about 20,000 and lots of rugged terrain and farming activity.
For now, the building is getting finishing touches and awaiting municipal inspections. Once it opens the new store will likely mean a few new hires, but Leonard said that won't be certain "until we actually get the keys thrown to us."

Understanding Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a disease that causes your body's immune system to attack its own cells and tissues. It can affect your joints and nervous system. It can affect blood vessels. And it can affect organs such as the skin, kidneys, lungs, and brain. It can cause rashes, fatigue, pain, and fever. Severe lupus can cause harm to organs and other serious problems.
Lupus is an ongoing (chronic) disease. It can be mild to severe. It is most common in young adult women. Lupus has no cure, but medications can help symptoms. And you can help manage lupus by living a healthy lifestyle and working with your doctor.
What causes lupus?
Your body protects itself with the immune system. The immune system makes proteins called antibodies. These protect against bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. In some people, the immune system makes antibodies that attack the body's own cells. This leads to inflammation and tissue damage in the body.
Doctors don't know why this happens. Experts think it may be caused by a mix of genes and other factors. The other factors may include certain viruses and allergies.
Lupus can appear in many parts of the body. Because of this, it can affect people in different ways. You may have only some of these symptoms. You are not likely to have all of these symptoms. Some of the common symptoms of lupus are:
Sores in the mouth or nose
Patchy hair loss
Butterfly-shaped rash on the cheeks of the face (malar rash)
Rashes caused by sunlight
Swollen or painful joints (arthritis)
Muscle pain
Weight loss
Heartburn (acid reflux)
Pain in the abdomen
Less blood flow in the fingers and toes
Feeling dizzy
Severe symptoms can include:
Swelling in legs and ankles (edema)
Inflammation of tissue around the lungs that causes chest pain when breathing (pleurisy)
Inflammation of the lining of the heart (pericarditis)
Kidney problems
What is remission?
Remission is when symptoms go away for a period of time. Lupus can go into remission. If lupus flares up again, your symptoms may return the same as before.
Possible complications of lupus
Lupus can cause harm to the body over time. This can lead to serious problems, such as:
Lupus nephritis (kidney disease). Over time, this can lead to kidney failure. Kidney failure is treated with dialysis or kidney transplant. Kidney disease can cause certain symptoms. Call your doctor if you have swelling in your hands, feet, or around your eyes. Also tell your doctor if you have changes in urination. These include needing to go more often, pain when you urinate, or dark urine.
Clogged arteries (atherosclerosis). This raises a person's risk for heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. To help lower your risk for these problems, you can make certain lifestyle changes. Stop smoking, and get your blood pressure and cholesterol under control. Stay active and healthy.
Diagnosing lupus
Lupus is hard to diagnose. This is because it has many possible symptoms that could have other causes. And, the symptoms can occur slowly over time.
To diagnose lupus, your health care provider will ask about your medical history. He or she will ask about your symptoms. Your provider may suspect you have lupus if you have 4 or more symptoms and he or she can find no specific cause. You may have tests to help confirm the diagnosis. The tests may include:
Antibody blood tests. These tests are done to look for certain kinds of antibodies in your blood. The main test for lupus is the antinuclear antibodies (ANA) test. Most people with lupus will have a positive ANA test result. Other tests check for other kinds of antibodies.
CBC blood test. This test checks for low counts of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Other blood tests. More blood tests may be done to look for other problems. Some look for signs of inflammation in the body. Some tests look for certain kinds of proteins. Other tests check how fast your blood clots.
Urine tests. These are to look for blood or protein in the urine. This can mean your kidneys are not working normally.
Biopsies. A biopsy is when tiny pieces of tissue are taken from the body to be checked with a microscope. To look for signs of lupus, biopsies may be done of the skin and kidneys. The test looks for damage to these organs.
Treating lupus
Lupus is treated in many ways. You may work with a rheumatologist. This is a doctor who specializes in lupus, arthritis, and other related diseases. You may also work with other kinds of doctors. These include specialists in kidney disease, blood disorders, immune disorders, and heart problems. You may also meet with a social worker to help you manage your treatment plan. The goals of treatment include treating symptoms, preventing flare-ups of lupus, and helping reduce damage to the body.
Your doctor may give you medication to help treat symptoms. Medications can't cure lupus, but they can help prevent organ damage or suppress the disease. Your doctor will prescribe one or more medications to help you feel better. Be sure to take them as directed. You may be given medications such as:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). These can be used to help relieve swelling, pain, and fever.
Antimalarial medicine. A medicine used to prevent and treat malaria can help ease some lupus symptoms. It can treat fatigue, rashes, joint pain, and mouth sores. The mediation may also help prevent blood clots.
Corticosteroid medicines. These can help people when lupus affects the kidneys, lungs, or heart, or nervous system.
Drugs that suppress the immune system. These can help treat severe symptoms of lupus that has attacked organs.
Other medications. A medicine called a biologic may be an option. Clinical trials are also being done to test other medications that may help people with lupus.
Talk with your health care providers about the risks, benefits, and possible side effects of all medications.
Managing your health
Lupus can also be managed by keeping a healthy lifestyle. Here are ways to take care of yourself:
Find the right balance of rest and activity.
Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Exercise a few times a week, at least. Try walking, swimming, or biking.
Learn ways to reduce or manage stress.
Stay out of the sun as much as you can. Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher.
Work with your doctor to manage your lupus. Be sure to see your doctor for regular checkups and tests.
Pregnancy and lupus
If you are a woman of child-bearing age, talk with your health care provider about the risks of pregnancy and lupus. Lupus symptoms can flare during pregnancy. Pregnancy with lupus is high-risk, so you will need extra care from your health care team. You may need to see your health care provider more often.
Getting support
Lupus is a chronic disease. It can put special demands on your life. Family and friends can be a good source of help and support. You may also want to join a support group for lupus patients. By talking with other people who have lupus, you may learn new ways to cope. You may also feel less alone. For more information, contact the following:

Less than 17 months after San Mateo County supervisors blessed the new boundaries of their districts, the county announced Wednesday it would go back to the drawing board to settle a discrimination lawsuit.
The boundaries "weren't drawn with an eye toward compliance to the voting rights law," said Robert Rubin, a civil rights attorney and co-lead counsel for the six Asian and Latino residents who sued the county in April 2011. The plaintiffs alleged that the county's at-large system for electing supervisors diluted the voting power of Asian and Latino voters, in violation of the California Voting Rights Act.
"Fifty percent of the county is Asian or Latino and yet in the past 20 years there's been only one Latino elected and no Asians elected," Rubin said in a phone interview Wednesday.
Until Nov. 6, when 58.7 percent of voters approved a switch to district-only elections, San Mateo was the only county in California in which supervisors were chosen countywide.
In 2010, the board of supervisors rejected a recommendation that the question of district versus at-large elections be put on the ballot. The board asserted that the at-large system is superior because it makes supervisors more accountable to the whole county.
But as a trial date for the lawsuit approached, the supervisors backtracked last year and placed the question on the ballot after all.
In addition to possibly redrawing district boundaries, the county agreed as part of the settlement to pay an estimated $650,000 in attorneys' fees to the plaintiffs' lawyers, said Michael von Loewenfeldt, one of the lawyers hired by the county to fight the lawsuit.
Settling the lawsuit does not mean the county agrees that the at-large system was discriminatory, he said, adding that it just seemed to be the logical thing to do after voters chose to go with district elections. And it was a cheaper route than taking the case to trial, he added.
"It's in no way a concession that, before, anything was wrong; it just doesn't matter anymore," von Loewenfeldt said.
Under terms of the settlement, a nine-person redistricting committee comprised of public officials and private citizens will be selected by the board of supervisors.
The committee, which could include Supervisors Adrienne Tissier and Warren Slocum, will hold public meetings around the county to get feedback on where to draw the boundary lines. It will present recommended district boundaries to the full board Oct. 8, according to an announcement released by the county Wednesday. The aim is to have district lines clarified in time for the June 2015 election, when Supervisors Carole Groom and Don Horsley would either step down or run again.
Von Loewenfeldt said the county didn't agree to redraw the district lines, just to "review" them.
"There's no agreement that anything will change," he said. "The county will appoint an advisory committee that will analyze the boundaries."
Groom, who was board president in 2011, said she feels "very comfortable" that the current boundaries didn't fracture minority populations. At the time, she appointed Tissier and now-retired Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson to the ad-hoc committee overseeing the redistricting effort because they represented diverse districts. Neither supervisor voiced discrimination concerns, she said.
Board President Horsley, who helped negotiate the settlement with Groom and other officials, said the county has budgeted up to $100,000 to hire consultants and do community outreach about the redistricting. He said he doesn't anticipate major changes.
"It's hard to say," Horsley said. "I think they'll incrementally change a couple of streets here or there. I don't think it will be a dramatic shift."
Anyone interested in joining the committee can apply starting Monday by going online at www.smcgov.org/districtlines or picking up an application from the county manager's office on the first floor of 400 County Center, Redwood City.

Comments about Avenue Felicia Cutout Cloudwalkers® Comfort Sandal:
I will wear these to work hoping the toe thong does rub after long walking. I love that they fit in front of my ankle at my arch area (I think they call that the vamp?). The soul like most lower heel Cloudwalkers, very durable. I like that. The foot bed material is so nice and soft. However, the foot bed could use about an 1/4" more width at the toes and ball of the foot. Also wish it were real leather. I would pay the difference for real leather.

Comments about Avenue Felicia Cutout Cloudwalkers® Comfort Sandal:
These sandals are very comfortable and versatile...they look good with a dress/skirt or cropped jeans. However, they do run a bit short in the back... it seems as if the thong/post is too far down, so the rest of the sandal isn't long enough. I usually wear an 11, I had to return for a 12. Otherwise, they are really cute and I like them a lot!

At the parking lot, the visitor noticed with a combination of bemusement and wariness a pickup truck advertising expertise in searching for paranormal activity. The visitor put no stock in such things, but knew that those looking for the unusual, unexplained, and unaccepted had a way of stumbling onto things they had not anticipated and causing problems.
For a similar reason, he had avoided the well advertised landing spots, knowing that he would be watched in those well-trafficked areas. There was one prominent hill, which, apart from some well-meaning but clueless interlopers, seemed to have eluded the charts. However, as he passed near the summit, he saw that his suspicions appeared to be wrong. A little learning was a dangerous thing, as with those who had drawn the wrong conclusions from the long count calendars. Curious, he whispered to himself and continued on.
As he headed downhill, he noted the diabase concentration increasing and briefly considered setting up camp here at the impressive spot. Wanting to avoid the fate that had befallen those stationed at the last outpost, he resisted the temptation, turning right and heading south. Almost immediately, the local botany became more conducive for the camouflage he had chosen for his communications equipment. May Apples and wildflowers, then mountain laurel, and finally, after a few switchbacks, swamp cabbage.
The path he was following ended at another trail. He chose to head slightly uphill to the right just as the tune running through his head took on a more strongly bluesy tone. I guess some people have different ideas as to what keeping a low profile means, he muttered, knowing that Shemekia was not the only one who would be unable to return to Memphis. But that was another story for another time, and those wounds were at last beginning to heal. As this trail leveled out slightly on its terrace, he glanced to the left downhill to see the mother lode, what seemed like acres of swamp cabbage. Conditions here would be much better than expected for his listening post. Remembering his friends back home, the so-called Salad Neck Brothers, he spied the broken Y transmitted up the hill to the right. This would be an adequate spot for his communications equipment.

Izzy Englander Fund Hires for European Recruitment Drive
Millennium Management, the $18.5 billion U.S. hedge fund manager run by Izzy Englander, has hired a head of business development for Europe in a new role that appears to show it's making the most of a kind environment for recruiting portfolio managers.
Stephen Keller is set to join Millennium in London as head of European business development, a role that will involve sourcing potential portfolio managers for the firm to hire, a person familiar with the situation said. He was a managing director and senior relationship manager for hedge funds at UBS, and has left the Swiss bank, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Mr. Keller could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokesman for Millennium did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Founded in 1990 by trader Mr. Englander, Millennium is renowned for giving its portfolio managers a high degree of autonomy. The firm's multi-strategy Millennium International fund allocates capital across its 150 trading teams. All portfolio managers work for themselves, hiring as they require, and are paid via their own profit and loss, overseen by a centralized risk committee and senior management.
Mr. Englander no longer runs money but oversees risk management and the allocation of capital.
Millennium's portfolio managers have grown in number to 150 from 120 over roughly two years, according to an investor. It is one of several hedge fund firms, which include BlueCrest Capital Management, CQS and Cheyne Capital, to have capitalized on a fertile environment for hiring portfolio managers.
Millennium's assets have grown from a recent low of $6.9bn in June 2010 to $18.5 billion, according to investor. The firm managed a previous peak of $14 billion at the start of 2008 but lost half of its assets because it didn't restrict investor redemptions during the financial crisis, the investor said. Its investor base has gone from predominantly funds of funds to largely institutional investors.
The Millennium International fund is up 6.95% this year to July 11, following gains of 6.32% in 2012 and 8.39% in 2011, a separate investor said.

Brief Scene Descriptions for FHU Theatre Videos
2007-2008 Theatre Season Promo From the Beast's castle to Hedda's drawing room, the 2007-2008 season took audiences to places both grand and intimate. This video promo piece features three FHU productions, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Hedda Gabler, and The Nina Variations.
Little Women The four March sisters and their long-suffering mother make their way in Civil-War era America, yet one sister stands alone. Jo, a tomboyish writer of outlandish "penny dreadful" novels, finds her voice while in New York City. Directed by Cliff Thompson and Gary McKnight in 2009 (Loyd Auditorium), this scene features Melanie Lambert Wheat singing the Act I closer as she leaves her New England home for New York City.
Macbeth Staged in thrust in the Black Box Theatre in 2009, FHU spins Shakespeare's tale of "vaulting ambition" against the backdrop of the American Civil War. The first clip features Chris Pate ('09) as the wavering Thane of Cawdor and Tansy Waldrop Matheny ('10) as his ambitious wife who urges him toward murder. In the second scene, Macbeth has killed the rightful king, but finds that one murder is not enough. Despite his wife's urgings, Macbeth plans more deaths. The production was directed by Cliff Thompson.
Nina Variations In this funny, fierce and heartbreaking homage to The Seagull, Steven Dietz puts Chekhov's star-crossed lovers in a room and doesn't let them out. Nina (Rachel Ryan '10) and Treplev (Chris Pate '09) relive what might have been and could never be. This clip highlights two of the play's 43 different variations. Directed by Cliff Thompson, in Loyd Backstage in the spring of 2008.
Terra Nova In 1911 British adventurer Robert Falcon Scott and his men race a Norwegian team to the South Pole. Refusing to use sled dogs because he considered it "unsporting", Scott and his team struggled to drag their heavy sleds across the frozen wasteland. This clip features Scott's team struggling across the ice. Directed by Chris Pate ('09) in the Black Box Theatre Spring 2009.
The God Committee The God Committee by Mark St. Germain concerns a group of well-meaning hospital professionals trying to determine the most qualified recipient of a heart transplant, with several desperate candidates near death. Mauricio Campos ('09) is featured. Directed by Cliff Thompson in 2010, this production was staged in the round in FHU's Black Box Theatre.
The Miracle Worker FHU's 2006 production of William Gibson's play featured both speaking and signing actors simultaneously on stage. In this, the final scene of the play, Helen's older brother Jamie finally confronts his father and Helen makes a life-changing discovery. Cliff Thompson directed this lovely production. Featured actors Van Richardson ('09) as Speaking Jamie and Tiffany Christensen ('07) and Kaitlin Pate ('08) as Annie Sullivan. Anna Brooks plays Helen.
The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 As a blizzard rages outside, a mismatched bunch of Broadway-types and socialites assemble to raise money for a new musical. In this final scene in Act I, the performers have just belted a song for a potential backer who sits, unresponsive. They have not noticed that a large spear sticks out of her chair, but the audience has! Staged by Cliff Thompson in Loyd Auditorium in the fall of 2010.
Freed-Hardeman University has added a total of five full-time faculty members at its Henderson campus. They are Dr. Joseph Stark Davis, Linda S. Hodges,...

Eid al-Fitr preparation
A worker cleans the crescent moon and star symbol on a dome of a mosque ahead of Eid al-Fitr in Pasay city, metro Manila. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and it is a custom to wear colourful traditional attire during this time of celebrations. Muslims in Malaysia will celebrate Eid either on Sunday or Monday, depending on the sighting of the new moon for Shawwal, the month that falls after Ramadan on the lunar Islamic calender.

well after saying for ages that i would never want another baby, everyone around me seems to be pg again and im feeling a little broody
my bf says he doesnt want kids, but sometimes he says when hes older, so we will see, our relationship isnt at the stage to be discussing kids, or even living together yet, and i want to get onto a teaching assistant course.
so the ideal time will probably be when sam is at school, so 3 years time not really that long considering its been 3 years christmas, since me and my ex decided to try.

I had a dream last night about a little baby girl. Sorry if this sounds insensitive for anybody having problems conceiving but I would absolutely love another girl. If somebody said to me if you get pregnant now you will have a girl I think I'd have another one right now although it's not practical. I love LOVE my boys and if I got pregnant with another boy it would be great but I'd love another girl.

I am seriously so broody it's unreal. Two of my cousin's girlfriends are pregnant and two of my friends and I am so jealous. One of my cousin's girlfriends who I've known since I was a kid is having her scan today and finds out what she's having and I am SO jealous. I hate feeling like this because I know I can't realistically have anymore as I've got more than a handful with these three being as young as they are we just couldn't really afford another one (though I said that after Kieran too). When I feel like this I'm usually pregnant or end up pregnant lol

Well i am back Again! After my last post I suddenly stopped feeling broody and I can honestly say I felt like I would never want another baby, but 4 months later the feeling is back, I am so broody again OH won't even discuss it he just says we'll talk about it when DS is at school full time and maybe I won't want another by then, DS is only 18 months so it's ever such a long wait I know I want another and the idea of me having one on one with the baby whilst the others at school is appealing but I just feel so broody now!! Why cant it just switch off for a bit lol, anybody else feel like they have a long wait ahead of them? Patience is not one of my best qualities he he!

Isabel Rose Scherer was born in Galveston, Texas on Feb. 20, 1908 and raised in Davenport, Iowa. Her artistic life began early.
As a young girl, Isabel fashioned small animals from clay dug along the banks of the Mississippi River and baked in the family hearth. Later, she received daily art lessons at Davenport's Immaculate Conception Academy, followed by further training at the Vogue School of Fashion and Design. Later still, Isabel attended the Chicago Art Institute.
In the early 1930's Isabel attended Grant Wood's Stone City Art Colony in central Iowa, learning to carve limestone sculpture.
You can see Wood's regionalist influence in the artwork of both Isabel and her protege, Donna Young. Crafted from the locally-available materials of concrete and river stone, Isabel Bloom figurines reflect inspiration from the artists' own backyards. Children playing and exploring. Pets lounging. Snowmen standing stout against the Midwest's winter cold.
Today the creation of Isabel Bloom figurines rests in the talented hands of artist Donna Young. Working with skillful Bloom artisans to handcraft this unique collection of concrete sculpture, Donna has helped preserve the iconic style that survived Isabel's passing in 2001.
We invite you to learn more about our history and the unique process we use to create our handcrafted sculptures.

It took a year of work and required North America's largest colony of lab-reared sand flies, but NIAID researcher David Sacks, Ph.D., and his colleagues finally proved something they long suspected: the parasites that cause leishmaniasis have sex. The finding is important because scientists may now be able to use hybrid parasites to pinpoint genes responsible for a severe form of leishmaniasis or other traits of interest.
Leishmania parasites spend part of their lifecycle in sand flies and are transmitted to humans and other mammals through the bite of an infected fly. Leishmania multiply chiefly through asexual splitting. However, says Dr. Sacks, circumstantial evidence suggested that they can reproduce sexually as well. Sex, if any, would likely happen inside the sand fly, when the parasites are in the extracellular space outside the insect's cells. (In humans and other mammals, the parasites reside within individual compartments inside the host's cells and thus may have limited opportunity to recombine sexually.) But since it is difficult to get healthy parasites to grow and develop properly inside the sand fly, experimental proof of sexual reproduction was hard to uncover.
Dr. Sacks and his team worked with NIAID grantee Stephen Beverley, Ph.D., and others from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Beverley created two strains of Leishmania. One strain carried a gene conferring resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin. The other contained a gene that made it resistant to a different antibiotic, nourseothricin. The drug-resistance genes were located on different chromosomes.
In Dr. Sacks's lab, the strains were mixed with mouse blood and fed to adult sand flies. About two weeks later—after a new generation of parasites had had time to develop—the scientists removed the flies' midguts along with tens of thousands of parasites inside each one. When exposed to both antibiotics almost all the parasites died. A few, though, survived. Analysis revealed that these rare, doubly antibiotic-resistant parasites were genetic hybrids; they all had inherited two sets of chromosomes—one from the hygromycin-resistant parent and one from the nourseothricin-resistant parent.
Next, Dr. Sacks and his colleagues tested whether hybrid parasites could be transmitted to mammals. They raised sand flies that were co-infected with both parasite strains and allowed the flies to bite mice. The mice developed skin sores, or lesions, typical of leishmaniasis infection. Within the lesions, the investigators found doubly drug-resistant parasites that were genetically similar to the hybrid parasites extracted directly from sand fly midguts. In contrast, when the scientists injected a mixture of both parasite strains directly into mouse ears, they were never able to find any doubly drug-resistant parasites in the resulting lesions. This strongly suggests that doubly drug-resistant parasites are produced through sexual reproduction inside their insect host but the parasites do not recombine sexually in the mouse.
Leishmania sex appears to be very rare both in nature and in the lab, says Dr. Sacks. However, genetic hybrids do arise often enough to act as windows into the spectrum of disease caused by the parasites. For example, Dr. Sacks and his colleagues observed that some hybrids produced lesions in mice that grew at least as fast as the fast-growing neurseothricin-resistant parent strain, while others produced lesions that grew as slowly as the slow-growing hygromycin-resistant parent strain. Thus, the genes controlling growth rate, which can be used as a surrogate marker of disease virulence, appear to be distributed differently in different hybrids. The genetic hybrids can therefore be used to map the locations of the genes responsible for growth rate or other measurable traits, including drug resistance.
