- CHP warns drivers crossing new Bay Bridge span
Contractors out on the bustling Bay Bridge construction zone spent their third full day tearing out more old bridge deck, laying down new asphalt and painting shiny white striping as they worked around the clock toward the scheduled Tuesday 5 a.m. opening.
Despite being pushed to reveal whether it would open early or not, bridge officials would not budge.
"If we can open early, we will but don't plan for an opening from a crystal ball. It is still 5 a.m. Tuesday." said bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon for the millionth time.
CHP spokesman Daniel Hill said they will roll out traffic on the new span as soon as Caltrans gives the word, whenever that is.
At least one fun fact emerged from a day on the bridge: We're told the mischievous Bay Bridge troll, spirited off the bridge in the midst of all the construction hustle and bustle, will take its rightful place alongside the dignitaries gathered for Monday's 3 p.m. chain-cutting ceremony.
But back to earth: The day's work included a thorough cleaning of the upper and lower tunnels through Yerba Buena Island, starting with hot water and moving on to a cleaning solution if necessary.
"It's dirty," said Greg Allen, project manager for MCM Construction. "But it's not too bad."
Workers also installed new LED light bulbs.
From just outside the east entrance to the tunnel, Gordon pointed out a striking feature of the new eastern span during a press tour Saturday morning.
"Headed east you have a clear shot out of the tunnel," he said. "And very quickly you are in daylight and on the same level as westbound traffic. Before, all you saw was the S-curve."
Crews also removed a 1,000-foot portion of the westbound (upper) deck of the old eastern span to make room for the new span's temporary pedestrian and bicycle ramp. The ramp, which will extend past the tower but not all the way to Yerba Buena Island, is scheduled to open Tuesday at noon. There will be no pedestrian or bicycle access to the island until the ramp is completed in 2015.
CHP spokesman Hill said there hasn't been any major problems with motorists during the closure but cautioned to not pull into closure areas to ask for directions or inquire about the project.
Speed limit on the new bridge is same as the old: 50 mph, but when the bridge opens Hill cautioned motorists to observe another, temporary, feature of the new eastern span -- a short on-ramp to the bridge from Yerba Buena Island.
"It's a very short onramp, then a stop sign, and then a short merge," Hill said. "It's going to difficult to get on the freeway at first. We want to urge motorists to be careful."
Hill added that CHP officers stationed at the 15 onramps to the Bay Bridge had been visited by motorists unaware, despite warnings posted on freeway signs as far away as Anaheim, that the bridge is closed for the Labor Day weekend.
Gordon said all grinding at the toll plaza was complete, and that striping on westbound lanes headed to the toll plaza had begun. In addition, the CHP reported that demolition of the Oakland touchdown was nearly complete.
He also said there could be minor delays getting construction trucks on and off the work site Saturday night because of two events -- the Oakland A's game against Tampa Bay at 6:05 p.m., and the California-Northwestern college football game at Berkeley's Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
Although other bridges and freeways have been congested, transit stats suggest many people opted to use public transit to get around if they could.
BART ridership set another record Friday with 457,018 trips, fourth largest in the system's 40-year-history, and nearly as many as Thursday's number of 475,015.
And finally, as quickly as it was bathed in the media spotlight, the Bay Bridge troll slipped back into the shadows.
The good-luck charm has been removed from old eastern span, where it had been surreptitiously affixed by ironworkers after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. Its most recent adventure occurred when some night-shift workers decided to take matters into their own hands and removed the good-luck charm.
But representatives of MCM Construction and American Bridge/Fluor Enterprises, two of the new bridge's major contractors, got into a heated yelling match over who should take possession of it, sources confirm.
A CHP officer negotiated a temporary custody agreement, and the troll is currently in an undisclosed location, confirmed Bay Area Toll Authority spokesman John Goodwin.
No doubt getting a "shave and a haircut" in preparation for its appearance at Monday's ceremony.

Negative ads have become increasingly common in presidential campaigns. Figure 1 well illustrates this point (see also West 2009). The upcoming 2012 elections will almost surely augment this upward trend of more and more negativity. In fact, with the emergence of Super Pacs, the share of attack ads in 2012 will likely be significantly higher than in 2008, which in and of itself was the high-water mark for attack ads in the modern era. The harsh tone of the battle for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination certainly points toward an exceptionally nasty fall campaign.
John G. Geer is the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Political Science, chair of the department of political science, and co-director of the Vanderbilt Poll, Vanderbilt University. Geer has published numerous books and articles on presidential politics and elections and recently served as editor of The Journal of Politics (2005–2009). His book In Defense of Negativity: Attacks Ads in Presidential Campaigns, published by the University of Chicago Press, won the Goldsmith Book Prize from Harvard University.

Macquarie Taps 3i's Paul Su in Asia
Macquarie Capital has hired 3i Group PLC's Paul Su as senior managing director and chairman for Greater China.
An investment banking veteran, Mr. Su joins the Australian bank from 3i's Beijing office, where he was a senior partner and managing director at the private-equity group. Before 3i Mr. Su spent 10 years with Credit Suisse.
"Paul brings to Macquarie a deep understanding of the Greater China market with more than 15 years of investment banking as well as private equity experience," Macquarie said in a news release.
Mr. Su is the second high-profile appointment for Macquarie in Asia this year. Parent Macquarie Group in March appointed Geoff Raby as vice chairman for China. A former Australian Ambassador to Beijing, Mr. Raby was in the spotlight when relations between the two countries cooled sharply over China's detention of Rio Tinto executive and Australian national Stern Hu, who was later imprisoned on corruption charges.
In an update to investors earlier on Monday Macquarie executives said at brokerage CLSA's annual forum in Hong Kong that earnings for the fiscal year ending in March 2014 are on track to improve, repeating previous guidance.
"While market volatility makes forecasting difficult, it is currently expected that the net profit contribution from operating groups will be up" on year, the bank said in a statement.
For 3i, Mr. Su's move to Macquarie comes more than a year after the United Kingdom-based private-equity group closed its Hong Kong and Shanghai offices as part of a round of cost cutting.
One of 3i's better-known investments in China is a $25 million minority stake it bought in 2006 in Little Sheep, a hotpot restaurant chain. Amid a backdrop of food-safety scares in China, 3i brought in former executives from KFC Corp. and Burger King to help run the company's sprawling restaurant empire in China, discontinuing franchise agreements with about 200 restaurants over problems with food quality and operation controls.
Little Sheep went public in 2008 in Hong Kong and was later sold to Yum Brands Inc., giving 3i a return of more than 300% on its initial outlay.

When Downside Scenarios for the Economy Play Out
Even the best economic forecasters acknowledge that making projections around potential turning points in the economy can be particularly difficult. The economists at the International Monetary Fund can take some credit today for making one good projection on Europe — though it's not a pretty one.
The IMF, which downgraded its global economic outlook today, says it now expects (as its base case) that the euro-area economy will see a mild recession in 2012 (a contraction of 0.5%). That, it turns out, was roughly the IMF's downside scenario in its report a year ago (when its base case was for slow growth in 2012). The IMF blamed higher government bond yields in Europe, the effects of bank deleveraging on the economy and more budget-cutting for the slower 2012 growth proving true.
IMF economists, we've learned over the years, tend to include a healthy dose of optimism in their baseline projections when there's still some hope for a better outcome. That may be one reason to worry about this year's downside scenario. It figures that euro-area economic output could drop by 4% relative to the baseline — in other words, a far more serious recession — under worse conditions. (That would pull down growth in the rest of the world, too.)
The IMF economists today cite many of the same risk factors that led to last year's downside scenario playing out. "Downside risks have risen sharply," they said, with troubles between government debt and bank funding pressures threatening to create "much larger and more protracted bank deleveraging and sizable contractions in credit and output."
IMF officials maintain there's still hope for the better scenario, rather than the downside scenario. "We thought a year ago that there was a way out," IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard told reporters today. "It's still there," he says, if euro-zone countries under pressure take steps to eliminate doubts about their government debt.
José Viñals, director of the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department, said Europe has taken important steps but still must "put in place the comprehensive strategy that stabilizes market expectations and makes confidence come back to the euro area."
"We still need to complete the puzzle," he said. "The danger is the more you wait … the worse it may get."

Culture in Transcontinental Railroad
Hell on Wheels: What the Transcontinental Railroad Gave the Mythic West
The American West was never wilder than in the days when the Union Pacific was pushing through it. As the end of the line made its daily advance toward the Pacific, along with it came a mobile scene of whiskey-fueled debauchery that would rival anything in Hollywood's westerns. Here, history and myth converged in a spectacle of vice, violence, and of course, entertainment widely known as Hell on Wheels.
The first Hell on Wheels town was North Platte, Nebraska, where the Union Pacific had stopped for the 1866-1867 winter. Practically overnight, the little town ballooned to a settlement of about 5,000 souls, a great many of whom were young, male, and ready to burn through any money they had saved working on the rail in the warmer months. Entrepreneurial hustlers of all stripes (mostly from booming Chicago) descended on North Platte to help them do just that. The spirit of the place was well captured by the journalist Henry Stanley. "Every gambler in the Union seems to have steered his course here, where every known game under the sun is played," he wrote. "Every house is a saloon, and every saloon is a gambling den."9
The Hell on Wheels towns were made to go up and down in the space of a night. Hastily erected structures of canvas and split lumber became theaters, brothels, dance halls, taverns, and sometimes a combination thereof. Violence was endemic and gunfights so common that during the Hell on Wheels heyday of Cheyenne, Wyoming, the local paper ran a column called Last Night's Shootings.10 As Stanley put it: "There are men here who would murder a fellow-creature for five dollars. Nay, there are men who have already done it.""
This was indeed a Wild West—one of outlaws and claim jumpers, cardsharps, and the women called "soiled doves" who made their living working the rough towns. The men of the Union Pacific, many of whom were not long out of the Union army and were far from the watchful eyes of wives and families, kept Hell on Wheels hopping night after night, pouring their wages into booze, song, women, and the deep pockets of the professional gamblers in one town after another.
The atmosphere of lawlessness eventually got to be more than the UP could tolerate. In the Hell on Wheels town of Julesburg, Colorado territory, chief engineer Grenville Dodge finally had his track laying boss, Jack Casement, impose order through force. Casement, a Union vet who had helped Dodge bring military efficiency and discipline to UP construction, complied. When Dodge later came through Julesburg, he reportedly found a hill of fresh graves and an altogether quieter town. But while the Union Pacific may have managed to curb some of the worst excesses of Hell on Wheels, it could never stamp out the debauchery entirely. Indeed, Hell on Wheels traveled with the UP line all the way through Corinne, the last rail town on the westward route to Promontory Summit, where the line met the Central Pacific in May of 1869. Interestingly, the Central Pacific had no sideshow equivalent to the UP's Hell on Wheels. By all accounts, the thousands-strong Chinese workforce of the Central Pacific was a quieter, thriftier, and more sober bunch.
When construction on the Union Pacific wound down and the workers began to drift on to other things, Hell on Wheels finally died out, but not before one last, vicious gasp at Blue Creek, a one-street shanty town on Promontory that one writer described as "morally nearest to the infernal regions of any town on the road." After Blue Creek, Hell on Wheels passed into legend, its spirit perhaps circulating through some of the rough and tumble mining and cattle towns before coming to rest, prominently, in the half-true silver screen mythology of frontier life and the American West.11 The historically specific culture of several thousand railroad workers—and the men and women who entertained and swindled them—became part of the popular culture shared by millions of Americans.

Softball wraps up homestand Wednesday vs. Sacred Heart
April 9, 2013
Stony Brook, N.Y. - The Stony Brook softball team will wrap up an eight-game homestand on Wednesday with a doubleheader against Sacred Heart starting at 2 p.m. The Seawolves have won nine straight non-conference games.
Stony Brook
Winners of seven straight and 13 of their last 15, the Seawolves (19-15) continue to compete at a high level down the home stretch of the season. Stony Brook has not played since Thursday when it swept Quinnipiac by scores of 5-4 and 6-0. Junior Christine Lucido (Melville, N.Y.) earned both wins in the circle to improve to 9-1, while lowering her ERA to 2.03. Lucido owns the best winning percentage (.900) of any pitcher in the America East and ranks second in the conference in both wins and ERA.
The Stony Brook offense is also clicking as the team has scored five runs or more in six of the last seven games. Sophomores Shayla Giosia (23 RBI) and Bria Green (21 RBI) continue to lead the way at the plate.
Sacred Heart
The Pioneers enter with a 17-14 record, but have yet to win a road game in 2013. Sacred Heart is 0-3 in true road contests, however, the team has posted a 10-7 record at neutral sites. The Pioneers hit .259 as a team and own an impressive 2.24 team ERA. Senior Nicole Sidor boasts a .398 average to go along with six homers and 22 RBI, while also leading the team in the circle with a 1.25 ERA and 118 strikeouts in 123 innings pitched.
Milestones Ahead
Head coach Megan Bryant needs just three more wins to reach 700 for her career. Now in her 13th season with Stony Brook, Bryant has won at least 20 games each year with the Seawolves and is poised to do so again this year. In her career, Bryant has won 352 games at Stony Brook, 282 games at Drake and 63 games at Stetson, recording a lifetime winning percentage of .529 in over 1,320 career games.
Sophomore Allison Cukrov (Irvine, Calif.) is also approaching a milestone: the 300 strikeout plateau. Currently at 298 for her career, Cukrov would become just the sixth Seawolf pitcher to fan 300 batters in their career.

Two benefit walks will take place at the lake this month, with one supporting pancreatic cancer and the other raising funds for transplant recipients.
Next weekend's event will be the Donate LIFE Walk, sponsored by the California Transplant Donor Network.
The walk will be a two-mile trek around the lake in an effort to raise money to encourage more people to become organ and tissue donors in the Bay Area.
Participating in the walk will be Milpitas resident Paul Yang, who 23 years ago underwent a liver transplant.
"I am here today because of my donor. Without my donor family I would not have this life," Yang said.
Yang, 60, received his new liver after his former organ was destroyed by Hepatitis B.
Since that time, Yang has been active in raising awareness of organ and tissue donation. His biggest contribution to raising awareness has been competing in the Transplant Olympics, winning several medals in speed walking and swimming.
Yang said this will be the first time the California Transplant Donor Network has held a walk in the Bay Area.
"Right now this is all about exposure," he said. "We're trying very hard to reach out to every community about the donor network."
The donor network is expecting hundreds to walk around the lake, and money raised will help the network spread the word about the need to sign up as a donor.
The Donor LIFE Walk begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 10, and registration is $35 until Sept. 7. Registration includes a goodie bag, T-shirt and the chance to win prizes during the two-mile walk. Sign up at active.com/donate/d?lwalk2011#selectfundraiser. You can sign up for an existing team or create your own for the event. Registering the day of the walk will not be allowed. For more information about the California Transplant Donor Network, visit ctdn.org.
Pancreatic cancer walk
The weekend following the Donate LIFE Walk, Fremont resident Michele Martinez will host her third annual Northern California Pancreatic Cancer Walk at the lake.
Martinez started the walk with her cousin, whose mother (Martinez's aunt) died from pancreatic cancer. The pair wanted to raise awareness about the specific form of cancer and sought existing fund-raisers and charities in the area to join.
The closest venue they found was in Napa.
Not wanting to travel that far, Martinez and her cousin decided to create their own event. The first walk three years ago raised about $25,000, and Martinez said about 130 people participated.
Last year's walk generated about $23,000, with 150 people taking part.
This year has been a little slow, she said, with just 22 people signed up so far. Martinez is hoping to raise about $25,000 again this year.
"We're hoping it will be like a Field of Dreams kind of thing, where if we build it they will come," she said.
Martinez said anyone is welcome to participate in the walk, which will feature bananas and bagels for breakfast, and a barbecue lunch provided by Barbecue Boys of San Jose. There will also be a raffle for participants, featuring prizes donated by several local businesses.
Martinez added participants will be accepted the day of the run. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 and fees are $60. The public can pre-register for $50 before the big day.
"The energy is just so positive (at the walks)," she said. "We didn't realize how talking to other people would help us cope. We had families come out last year for the first time, and they spoke to my uncle for hours."
Martinez said a fund-raiser for the walk will be held at The Saddle Rack, 42011 Boscell Road, Sept. 10. A second fund-raiser will be held at BJ's Brewhouse at 5699 Mowry Ave., Newark, Tuesday Sept. 13. A flier will be required for admission to the latter event, she said.
For more information about the walk, call 234-2759, or e-mail email@example.com, or visit fremont.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=487605.

Serie A in Italy gets underway this Saturday so to help you out, here are some recommendations to create your dream team and challenge your friends with the Yahoo Fantasy Football
Start with the goalkeeper
The best goalkeepers have the best defenders and based on last season this certainly applies to Morgan De Sanctis at Roma (value €13.27), Gigi Buffon at Juventus (€14.54), and Samir Handanovic at Inter (€11.24). Antonio Mirante at Parma (€7.37) kept 13 clean sheets while Andrea Consigli at Atalanta (€7.97) performs slightly less well than the others but he saved 2 penalties.
Gambles - Simone Scuffet (€5.89) was a surprise entry between the posts for Udinese and he hasn't looked back since: 16 games and only 22 goals conceded which is an average worthy of a top player. Etrit Berisha (€7.73) from Lazio, and Francesco Bardi from Chievo are excellent low-cost solutions.
Defenders for an unbeatable dream team
Last seasons top four defenders are Giorgio Chiellini (€14.45, the most expensive defender), Roma's defender, Castan (€12.45), and Parma skipper, Alessandro Lucarelli (€11.96). Gambles? Ranocchia from Inter, Roma's Astori, and even Molinaro, back in Serie A with Torino. And a low-cost solution? Fabio Peluso (value €1.74) who plays with Sassuolo.
Quality midfielders get you points
In midfield, one name stands out - Antonio Candreva from Lazio (€15.50), the midfielder with the highest number of points per match played, thanks to his 12 goals and 6 assists, but also to 84.1% completed passes and over 3 shots per match. Another good bet would be Giacomo Bonaventura (€11.05) from Atalanta.
Midfielders who are a safe bet and never disappoint are Vidal (€11.81) and Pogba (€10.55) from Juventus. For guaranteed goals and assists; Borja Valero (€10.83) also had an excellent season with 87.8% successful passes. Playmakers emerging alongside Pirlo (€11.84), 88.5% completed passes and 6 assists, 68 key passes and just 45 lost balls), include two "surprise" players: Cigarini from Atalanta (€10.89) and Allan from Udinese (€9.70).
Other options - Victor Ibarbo (€6.58) from Cagliari and Pereyra (€5.06) from Juventus. Low cost choices, Juventus' Simone Pepe (€4.33), Verdi (€2.50) from the newly promoted Empoli, and Obbadi (€2.50) from Verona.
Strikers: top choices
A good bet - Carlos Tevez (€17.31). For his first season in Italy he finished with 19 goals out of 55 shots on target (that's a 34.55% success rate) and 127 total shots (meaning 15% of his concluding actions ended with him scoring). Luca Toni (€15.58) from Verona finished last season on 20 goals and his statistics were even better than those of "El Apache", given that he finished on 40% (20 goals out of 50 goal shots), 7 assists, and 2.4 fouls suffered per match. Other safe bets: Rodrigo Palacio (€13.50), Gonzalo Higuain (€11.99), Totò Di Natale (€13.46), and Giuseppe Rossi (€16.11) who scored 16 goals in just 21 matches.
Another good bet is Domenico Berardi (€15.92), one of Italy's most talented youngsters. His first season with Sassuolo saw 16 goals and 6 assists (7 of these were scored in just two matches against Sampdoria and Milan). Discipline is a bit of a problem for this player (10 yellow cards and one red), as are his 130 lost balls, but try balancing this out with 1.4 key passes, 0.9 dribbling actions and 3.1 fouls suffered per match, plus participation in defense to the tune of 1.4 tackles and 0.8 passes intercepted.
As for young foreign players, there's a derby between Lazio's Keita (€6.86) and new Roma signing, Iturbe (€13.08). But don't forget Francesco Totti (€12.04) and Antonio Cassano.
Surprises – How much room will there be for Mauro Icardi (€6.69) in Inter 's attack? Don't forget that his 9 goals, were scored from 12 shots on target (a 75% efficiency rate) for a total of 40 shots on goal (22.5%, which places him after just Destro, Rossi, Llorente, and Callejon).
Comeback players - what do you think of the trio, Mario Gomez, Quagliarella and El Shaarawy? You could have them in your team for very little, since all three come out of a season spent mainly on the bench and therefore, will be eager to prove themselves. But all three will be first team choices. Inter has Pablo Daniel Osvaldo (€1.00) who is looking to re-launch his game: in 2012-2013 with Roma he scored 16 goals with 3.1 goal shots per match, and 1.6 aerial fights won.

- 1⁄4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄8 teaspoon dill weed
- Pour melted butter in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, onion salt, oregano, dill and Corn Pops; mix well to coat the cereal.
- Pour into a 12 x 9 pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350°, stirring every 5 minutes.
- You may also add pecans or peanuts to this mix!
Most Helpful
Yum, this is a such a moreish snack, tastes great. Did find that the pops shrunk a lot in the oven so would definitely do a double batch next time. I also think that the butter could be reduced a little without affecting the outcome so will also try that next time too. Thanks for a semi-healthier alternative to potato chips!
WOW these are really tasty, I used a 1/2 170g packet of corn puffs and will definately be using the other 1/2 soon and maybe add some nuts to that mix. The only thing different I did was that as I used salted butter I added dry onion flakes instead of onion salt. Thanks momof3rjc, made for Bargain Basement.

B.J. Novak Cast in Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards
Posted on Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta
The film is expected to begin principal photography this Fall in Europe. Tarantino has publicly expressed interest in having the film ready for Cannes in May 2009, but that might be cutting things a bit close.
I havent gotten a chance to watch The Office (I know.. I know…), so I have no real observation or opinion on BJ's casting, other than to say that it seems a bit unexpected. So I leave the question to you the /Film readers – What do you think about B.J. Novak cast in a Quentin Tarantino film?Cool Posts From Around the Web:

Senate Dems Use Disclose Act to Hit GOP
Senate Democrats are hoping the second time is a charm when it takes up legislation that would require more disclosure of campaign-spending by outside political groups.
The House approved the so-called Disclose Act earlier this year, but it was blocked in the Senate when Democrats couldn't win over enough Republican votes. Now Senate Democratic leaders hope to take up and approve the bill Thursday.
Well, no one really thinks it will pass the Senate. But Democrats think they can score political points by drawing attention to Republican efforts to block the bill. The bill's central purpose is to require outside political organizations to publicly disclose their donors. Most political spending by outsiders runs through groups that don't have to make such disclosures.
The leading such organization, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, plans to spend up to $75 million on the November elections. The Chamber says it is getting record donations from companies who are upset with what they see as the antibusiness agenda of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. But the Chamber doesn't need to disclose the names of the companies who are funding its ads.
In addition to the Chamber, a dozen or so conservative groups plan to spend a total of about $300 million on television ads backing Republican candidates this fall. Due to the current disclosure laws, the public will never know the source of most of those funds.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), who heads the House Democrats' campaign arm, called on the Senate to approve the legislation Thursday. "We must increase transparency and shine a light on the special interests trying to influence elections – the fundamental nature of our electoral system is at stake," he said in a statement today.

Advising Right Now: Welcome E-mails to Advisees
No later than August 12, the UAAP will send you an e-mail list of your new freshman advisees, with their names, gender, and MIT e-mail addresses.
Using their MIT e-mail addresses, please send your freshman advisees a welcome e-mail by Monday, August 22. The purpose of this e-mail is not only to say "Welcome to MIT", but more importantly, to give your freshmen critical information about who you are, and arrangements for meeting with advisees during Orientation week. We've provided some guidelines below as well as a couple of sample letters if you're not sure what to write.
Important dates to include in your welcome letters can be found below or on the Advising Timeline and Orientation Advising Meetings pages.
Guidelines for Your Welcome Letter
It's your choice whether to send the e-mail to your entire advising group, or to send each student an individualized message.
Please copy Elizabeth Young (firstname.lastname@example.com) on your messages, so she'll have a record in case any advisee forgets the information.
If you know that you will not be on campus to meet or register your advisees on Sept. 1, please let Elizabeth know. Your UAAP advising consultant will most likely be the person filling in for you, so check in with her or him about what to tell your advisees.
Your letter need not be lengthy, but should contain information about:
- Yourself. Your name, where you work, brief bio -- this is especially important for Traditional Advisors, since your freshmen will not otherwise have any information about you.
- Your seminar, if any.
- Your Associate Advisor(s), if any.
- Any other information that you wish to share.
- Describe arrangements for meeting on Tuesday, August 30 as a group. Please let them know where to meet you at 3:30pm and a phone number to call if lost.
- If you are not holding a group meeting on Tuesday because you are traveling, here are some suggestions for arranging individual registration meetings on Thursday, Sept. 1.
- Provide your advisees with your available times and have each advisee e-mail you their availability for Thursday, Sept. 1. Be sure to confirm the appointment time with a return e-mail.
- Post a sign-up sheet on your office door and have each advisee sign up in person. Be sure to give directions to your office.
- Leave a sign-up sheet with your administrative assistant, if you have one. Let your advisees know how to reach your assistant if they get lost or have questions.
- Ask your Associate Advisor to schedule the meetings.
See Orientation Advising Meetings for more information.
Contact Elizabeth Young (firstname.lastname@example.com, x3-6786) or Leslie Bottari (email@example.com, x4-7600) if you have any questions or problems.

Panera Bread debuts in La Jolla Village
By Dave Schwab
Staff Writer
Any way you sliced it, the new Panera Bread in the heart of La Jolla was creating a buzz last week.
The day before the official grand opening, an employee was handing out fresh-baked cookies to passersby; before that, they had dropped off sandwiches at neighboring businesses.
"We wanted to provide healthy food in a warm environment for a pretty good value," said chief operating officer Patrick Rogers on opening day June 30 at the tri-level, 5,000-square-foot La Jolla Panera. Located at 7863 Girard Ave., it's on the ground floor of the building that once housed Jack's nightclub.
Phil Coller, president of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, said Panera is just the right fit for the community.
"We're looking to get some anchor businesses that are well known similar to Panera Bread that are going to upgrade the properties that they take over," he said. "They fit in with the merchant's association's mission, which is to make La Jolla beautiful again."
Noting the new bussiness association has created "a major upswell of enthusiasm to do something here," Coller said "new quality businesses are a key element, and we welcome Panera Bread as one of the first."
Standing on the lowest, below-the-street level of the new bakery-cafe with a team of workers making sandwiches and salads in the background, Panera'as COO talked about what sets the bread franchise apart.
"We bake all our breads fresh seven days a week — none of it's frozen, none of it's day-old," Rogers said.
"Not a lot of companies in this country do that anymore," chimed in Panera franchisee Paul Saber. "That's what separates us immediately from any other food provider."
Saber said Panera waited eight years to find just the right spot in La Jolla for its new outlet, adding it was worth the wait. He noted the real challenge was finding just the right blend of contemporary design and style to create an inviting atmosphere.
"There aren't that many places that feel this comfortable, where you can just kind of sit and hang out and enjoy your time," he said.
"We call it an everyday oasis," added Rogers, noting soft colors and Lazy Boy chairs set the mood. "We try to convey a warm feeling so people really can get away from work and come to a place where they can enjoy and relax."
Rogers said the middle level of the bakery-cafe is designed specifically to accommodate laptop users, while the upper level with booths serves families and groups.
Saber added this Panera was designed to harmonize with La Jolla.
"We wanted to keep it within the culture, cottagey, seaside, yet still be kind of hip and fresh," he said. "Downstairs we wanted to create an old European kind of feel. Upstairs, more open space — we've even captured a little of the ocean view."

Unique system to allow for real-time fire progression predictions according to geographical variables.
Ministry looking into patenting technology.
Israeli firefighters extinguish day-long Golan fire -
Fire breaks out at Ein Tina Nature Reserve, destroying 10,000 dunam of land, vegetation, lightly injures six, including pregnant woman.
The Ministry of Public Security said Thursday that it has developed an advance system which can predict the progression of fires in real-time, according to their area's geographical variables.
According to Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, the system was developed following December's devastating Carmel fire.
Aharonovitch described the system as a "unique breakthrough," adding that it coincides with "the ministry's desire to prioritize the development of life-saving and disaster-prevention technologies."
The ministry said that the Fire Forecast System, or FFS, will be able to save lives and prevent extensive wildlife and property damage, adding that it includes features that would help authorities decides on necessary steps such as evacuating communities or closing off roads.
The new Fire Forecast System is said to be able to predict the progression of a blaze up to six hours in advance according to geographic and atmospheric conditions and allows firefighters and rescue teams on the ground to better plan their operations.
Some of the system's features include 3D progression simulations, as well as simulations pertaining to the fire's temperature and the height of the flames.
According to a ministry source, the system's development was "extremely cost-effective," amounting to just hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The system is said to be fully operational and the ministry intends to deploy it nationwide within the next few weeks.
The ministry is also now looking into patenting the unique system in favor of future exports.
Israeli firefighters extinguish day-long Golan fire -
Firefighters extinguished a fire in the Golan on Friday, after battling the blaze that broke out in the Ein Tina Nature Reserve on Thursday. The fire ravaged the north Israel area, destroying 10,000 dunam of land and vegetation.
Four planes and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were brought in to help manage the fire, and firefighters were finally able to put out the fire completely on Friday afternoon, nearly a day after the blaze began.
Hikers have been asked to refrain from visiting the Ein Tina Reserve until fire services have ensured that the area is safe.
The massive fire erupted on Thursday at 2:00 P.M. in the eastern part of the Golan Hula Valley, spreading quickly and forcing hikers to flee the flames, Danny Hananya, head of fire and rescue services in the Golan Heights said in a statement.
Six people in including a pregnant woman were lightly injured in the fire, all suffering from smoke inhalation. The pregnant woman was in her eighth month, and was rushed to the delivery room after she went into labor due to the shock of the trauma. A couple and their two children, ages three and eight, were admitted for mild scratches they attained while escaping the fire.

San Diego Sun Peaks Through Clouds
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Nolan Gaudreau
I was in a restaurant in San Diego when I saw this beautiful scene of a sun peaking through the clouds in one spot. I immediately run to my car to get the camera, run back into the restaurant, and start snapping a few pictures. The scene only lasted for another 30 seconds so I got pretty lucky. This is the result.

The Nose
by Nikolai Gogol
Character Clues
Character Analysis
Direct Characterization
The narrator really doesn't beat around the bush with this one. We get a bunch of paragraphs that start with a sentence that basically says, "Ok, I'm the narrator and I'm the boss, and I'm going to go ahead and tell you all about this particular person. For example, in the intro to Kovalev, the narrator busts out with "Here let me add something which may enable the reader to perceive just what the Collegiate Assessor was like" (2.2).
It's a straightforward deal—he tells us, we listen, and we believe him.
Social Status
Everything we want to know about the relationship between Kovalev and his newly independent nose can be explained by their relative positions on the social ladder. We already know that Kovalev is a striver, whose main goal in life is to climb higher in the ranks and to demand respect from everyone beneath him. A man like that is totally freaked out by his superiors—which is exactly what the nose becomes.
Once he sees the thing dressed like a State Councilor, Kovalev is so stressed that he can't even bring himself to speak to it, let alone demand that it get back onto his face. The only time he gets enough courage to yell at it is when the cop brings it back to his house stripped of all the fancy titles and ranks. Way to kick a nose when it's down, Kovalev.
Clothes get a lot of play in the story. We get some detailed descriptions of what the barber wears, what the nose wears, what the ladies Kovalev wants to flirt with but can't are wearing, and so on. Why?
Well, clothes were a really big deal in the 19th century, in the days when they were probably the most expensive thing anyone owned because they were hand sewn to fit by a tailor. Back then clothes were a pretty useful external marker of social and economic status, of living habits, and just a good way to size people up in the street. Gee, it's a good thing that we've all matured since then. Right?

The gun safety debate is off the boil apparently, but it has produced predictable responses such as the claim that gun ownership is a right in order to protect the Republic from tyrannical government as if the USA is Syria. The National Rifle Association, the public face of the firearms industry, argues for putting more guns into schools. If I were a member of the NRA, I would be offended by that organization's shrill and panicky response to the recent gun-facilitated tragedies.
The opening section of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, "A well-regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state ..." has been forgotten in the debate. This section provides the raison d'etre for civilians owning guns. Where are the well-regulated militias? The KKK? Arian supremacy groups? I think not. The historical context of the 1791 Second Amendment cannot be ignored. The amendment added to the Constitution a pre-existing right inherited from English law (and from which it has disappeared long since). But the American context was somewhat different. It was a political compromise between the southern slave-owning states and the northern states, free of slavery, but increasingly dependent on the tobacco and cotton from the plantations. The slave owners demanded the right to maintain their private armies for policing the plantations. 1791 saw the outbreak of a bloody slave rebellion in Haiti and this must have been on the minds of the politicians.
The Founding Fathers, recognizing that circumstances can change, allowed the Constitution to be amended. Amendment XXVII is the most recent. Amendments can also be repealed, for example Amendment XVII (Prohibition) was repealed in 1933. The question is, "Has the Second Amendment outlived its usefulness. Should it be repealed?" The American obsession with gun ownership is unique among the developed nations and regretfully is part of a culture of violence permeating much of the nation's psyche that sees violence not only as a source of entertainment but also as a solution to problems. If the Second Amendment were to be repealed, each state could legislate its own requirements and process for gun ownership, including the "proper discipline and training" currently absent despite being constitutionally mandated for a well-regulated militia. Car registration and driving licenses are standard across the states, and so it is appropriate to require the same for guns and gun owners within a national database.
Repealing the Second Amendment and initiating a state-based process may seem a wacky idea. But cutting the Gordian knot would allow for a movement toward improved gun safety and is receiving support from different organizations. For example, in America; The National Catholic Review (Feb. 25, 2013), a Jesuit publication, an editorial argues, with greater eloquence, data, and length, for such action. The Second Amendment had relevance in 17th century England and 18th century America, but it is now proving to be an obstruction in the journey toward greater gun safety.
Centuries ago, the concern was for protection against a tyrannical government. Today, the tyranny is the extraordinary power of intimidation exercised by the NRA. Right now the citizens of the USA must go directly to their elected representatives in order to get common sense gun safety legislation passed. In the longer term the push would be to repeal the Second Amendment and clear the way for legislation appropriate to the 21st century.

Among the items stolen were watches and gold jewellery, plus his white Porsche S, but the vehicle was found abandoned a few hours later.
Balotelli had been out that evening with his brother Enoch Barwuah and returned to find the house broken into.
This incident comes just days after another scare when someone tried to steal Balotelli's phone outside a nightclub, sparking a brawl as he chased the thief down.

How to do a factory reset on the Nokia Lumia 710
We show you how to perform a factory reset on your Nokia Lumia 710
In this guide we'll show you two simple ways of performing a factory reset on your Nokia Lumia 710.
Please note that once performed this is irreversable and you will lose all of your data. So if you're about to do one, make sure you back everything up.
Method 1
- From the main menu either swipe right-to-left on the touchscreen or press the right arrow button on the top right of the interface.
- Scroll through the icons until you get to the 'Settings' menu. Then, tap the 'Settings' icon.
- Scroll down to the 'About' menu which should be second from the bottom. Tap it.
- Press the 'Reset Your Phone' button.
The phone will reset itself and return you to the main menu.
Method 2
- Switch the phone off.
- Press and hold the Volume Down, Power and Camera buttons at the same time.
- When the phone vibrates release the Power button but keep the Camera and Volume Down buttons held for a further five seconds.
The phone will now be reset.
Lumia 800 'Battery Pull'
If your phone has seized up but you don't want to erase all the data it's normal to try a 'battery pull' but this isn't possible on the Lumia 800 since the battery isn't accessible.
Instead, you can try the following method which does the same thing.
- Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time.
- Wait for the phone to pulse vibrate three times.
- The phone should now reboot.

I found a web site that is not valid and close to 100 entries regarding this company on this rip off site. People have complained of not receiving any info, receiving a cataloge instead of a credit card, only getting an answering machine that says to call back during normal business hours regardless of the time your calling, one person was lucky enough to get a person and was promised their refund check only to receive a check that was stop paid.
Most people think they have no recourse......this is not entirely true. I encourage us all to contact your Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, even a consumer law firm to encourage a class action suit. Some firms take your business without you having to make direct payment to them as they take their fee out of whatever money is received in settlement.

Just a 20-minute ferry ride from Hong Kong, one of the world's greatest metropolises, sits Lamma Island, covered in greenery and home to a mere 5,000 permanent residents. The 8 square mile (13 square kilometer) island is completely car free, making it feel worlds away from the frenetic pace of nearby Hong Kong.
Planning a trip? Browse Viator's Hong Kong tours and things to do and Hong Kong attractions, especially the Hong Kong Sunset Junk Boat Cruise with dinner on Lamma Island.
The small island, the third largest in Hong Kong, consists of small fishing villages, lazy beaches and local restaurants serving up some of the best seafood to be had in the city, especially in Sok Kwu Wan village on the south side of the island. If you can't find an English menu, just point out the type of seafood you want from the live tanks outside most restaurants. If you're in the main village of Yung Shue Wan, you can easily while away an afternoon at one of the unpretentious expat cafes scattered along the lanes and alleys.
You can easily make a circuit of the island, passing through several small villages, in less than three hours on the very well-marked Ling Kok Shan hiking trail. You'll have opportunities to stop and relax at Lamma Island's largest beach, Shek Pai Wan, along the way. Other notable sights on the island include the Lamma Winds (Hong Kong's first wind turbine) and the Kamikaze Cave where Japanese military units during World War II would hide speedboats to be used in suicide missions against Allied navel vessels.

General Manager Kevin Towers said he told agent John Boggs that retaining Roberts, the team's primary leadoff hitter and left fielder the past two years, is less important than getting a power hitter. If the power hitter is a corner outfielder, he likely will supplant Roberts, 34, who hasn't received a contractual offer for 2007 from the Padres.
"The No. 1 priority for us is getting a middle-of-the-order bat," Towers said after talking with Boggs. "We need to go out and exhaust all the options to try to do that."
Said Boggs: "If the priority for the Padres is a power bat and you are Dave Roberts, OK, fine, you can't do anything about it. We can't force the issue with the Padres."
Towers said the acquisition of a slugging infielder would make him more likely to pursue Roberts, but he said the timing could be difficult. The GM has said that right fielder Brian Giles, the team's main No. 3 hitter last year, could succeed Roberts as the leadoff man. Another candidate would be second baseman Josh Barfield.
Healthier than he was in 2005, Roberts this year succeeded on 89 percent of his stolen-base attempts en route to a career-high 49 steals, reached base in 36 percent of his plate appearances, tied Tony Gwynn's franchise record for triples with 13 and scored 80 runs.
Starting Monday, Roberts can sign with another club, and teams such as the Cubs, Brewers, Rockies, White Sox and Giants are among those interested. "Pure leadoff hitters are hard to come by. The value is there," Boggs said.
The Padres haven't showered Roberts with attention leading up to his free agency. Said Boggs:. "This is the first time Kevin and I actually have had a conversation regarding Dave Roberts since the winter meetings, when we signed Dave Roberts."
The Padres confirmed they are in the midst of bidding for the negotiating rights to Japanese third baseman Akinori Iwamura.
A left-handed hitter with good speed, Iwamura isn't the power hitter the Padres are seeking for the middle of their lineup but is on their short list for third base.

Post subject: Anyone know anything about laws re. employee layoffs
I have tried googling but can't find anything about this specific situation. My OH is a painter and decorator. His company mainly take on outdoor contracts and at this time of year the work can dry up so most of their employees have been temporarily laid off, at different stages, this winter. OH has been laid off since middle of November and others were laid off a few weeks after him.
He has now found out that the boss of his group of painters has asked a few men to return to work and these men were laid off after my OH. He is obviously angry about this but can he do anything about this? Is there any law saying his boss can't have employees back when there are others who have been out of work longer?

View Interstate 45 rebuilding in a larger map
Portions of Interstate 45 South have reached the end of their useful life, prompting the Texas Department of Transportation to replace the freeway and do a little widening while they're at it.
But a bigger freeway comes at a big price for TxDOT (and for all of us because it is our money). In addition to a $108 million project to widen the freeway just south of Beltway 8, now under construction, TxDOT recently approved a $93 million bid by Williams Brothers Construction for the next phase, from around FM 2351 to south of Medical Center Drive.
Freeways have a lifespan of about 30 or 40 years, and I-45 has reached its golden years, hence the total rebuilding.
Although the roughly $200 million price for six miles of freeway is steep, it is not unexpected or pricier than officials predicted, said TxDOT spokeswoman Raquelle Lewis. Typically, between 55 percent and 65 percent of the cost is replacing concrete and pavement along the route and building or widening overpasses, Lewis said.
As is common with freeway widening, the work will occur around the clock, Lewis said, with the goal of always keeping three lanes open in each direction. Some reductions are inevitable, though, she warned, especially as crews expand overpasses.
After the six-mile section south of the Sam Houston Tollway is finished, TxDOT still has a long way to go. Among the major unfunded projects in the region, identified in a presentation earlier this year by District Director Mike Alford, is $756 million to widen I-45 from the NASA Bypass to Galveston. Transportation planners would like to make the freeway at least four lanes in each direction to the freeway's terminus at 59th Street.

You've never seen Dallas like this: From 1939, in radiant color, a look at downtown captured on Kodachrome
A long, long time ago I stumbled across quite the find on eBay: some 1939 Kodachrome footage showing off downtown Dallas in glorious color. It caught the attention of a few downtown-dwellers: Noah Jeppson, Mike Dunlap, Gabe Edgar, Patrick Kennedy, Jorge Esteban, Bobby Abtahi and David Fussell, who pitched in to help acquire the footage.
It was beautiful when it arrived at the newspaper, but also a little fuzzy; it was like stepping out of a time machine half past happy hour. So we sent the footage to a local joint that could make the past look a little more present. The results are above. I do hope you're appropriately wowed.
Mark Doty was. We asked the city of Dallas' historic preservation officer and author of Lost Dallas to come in and walk us through the footage, lest you spend 90 seconds lost in the past without any signage. His narration was invaluable.
But if you'd like to see the version without any sound, and blown up on a big screen, you're in luck: The footage will screen tomorrow night at 8 p.m. at Main Street Garden as the intro to the documentary The Human Scale, which Patrick "Tear Down I-345″ Kennedy is bringing to town in conjunction with Downtown Dallas Inc. That film's about restoring life to the city. Ours is about the life that used to be there, before highways and tunnels led the people astray … pardon, away.
And I'm pretty sure I see my grandfather in there.
Oh — and our media partners at NBC DFW (that's Channel 5 to you) will be airing a segment on this tonight as well, featuring some then-and-now footage. Tune in at 10.And here's the NBC DFW piece that aired Wednesday night, with some then-and-now footage.

Transportation Master Plan
The City of Winnipeg has developed a comprehensive Transportation Master Plan (TMP) which will guide how, when and where the transportation system is developed in the future.
One Response to SpeakingUp
Not sure if this follows under the WPG. Housing Policy, but why can't we have at least 1 dog in apt. (even if we pay an animal fee, which I would be willing to pay)??
I know in Ontario if land lords don't allow you to have at least 1 dog (fee or not) you can take them to court as it is against the human rights law. I wish they would bring it here as this is the first time not having a dog and I truly miss having one.

Just a good cop bad cop routine they play on you donkeys and elephants... they fill the gap and then control the backlash into yet another one of their candidates. Trump is not one of them. He scares the establishment and they will stop at nothing --- what they don't realize is that many voters are already decided. They are wise to the game.

In our upcoming 2011 Digital Marketer report, due to be released in March, we'll be discussing the continuing dominance of social networks, namely Facebook, to capture the title as most visited category of sites in our Experian Hitwise database.
Beyond visit data; search volume of the top queries in the U.S. for 2010 versus 2009 demonstrates just how prominent Facebook has become in our Internet lives. Of the top 10 overall searches executed across the top search engines, social nets claimed five versus three in 2009.
While Facebook continues to increase its lead over other acquisition channels, it is important to consider that social networks must still play in the ecosystem of online channels, and other channels such as portals must find a way to incorporate social into their future. In recent news, Yahoo! unveiled its plan to partner rather than compete with Facebook, reinforcing the concept of integrated channel marketing (social, search and display) in the online space by signaling that if you can't beat them…
To reinforce the concept of frenemies in the online landscape, below is a simple network map showing the flow of traffic between the major acquisition channels from the social network category's perspective.
Analyzing the network map above, it's immediately clear that search, as a category, is the most significant driver of traffic to social networks, supplying over 28%. The other significant takeaway from the map is that social nets are not only the largest category online, they also can behave as parasitic hosts, taking more traffic from all channels than they supply back.
While switching costs in the social networking space may make any build-our-own-net a non-starter, partnership can also present some distinct dangers. Partnering with networks appears to make sense, but now the critical focus should be on augmenting return traffic from networks.
My apologies to Sun Tzu for butchering his landmark phrase from the Art of War, but when you consider traffic flow; search engines, portals and web-based email providers should keep their friends close, but their frenemies closer.
