Sat Dec 3 2016The Unseen Power of Big Oil in California
The Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) is not a household name in California and the West, but it should be. WSPA is the trade association for the oil industry and the largest and most powerful corporate lobbying organization in California. It represents a who's who of oil companies including Aera Energy, Chevron, California Resources Corporation (formerly Occidental Petroleum), ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, Shell, Valero and many others. Yet most people — even many environmental activists — have never heard of the organization and the enormous influence it wields over politicians and regulators in the western states.
Thu Dec 1 2016Cannabis Company Faces Backlash for Misogynistic Display
Thu Dec 1 2016Woman Used As Salami Tray at Altai Brands Event in Las Vegas
Calls to boycott Altai Brands began after a disturbing photo was circulated on social media showing a nearly nude woman laying on a table covered in slices of salami and other meats. The event, hosted by Altai Brands, was a private after-party on November 17 for the fifth annual Marijuana Business Conference and Expo which took place from November 15-18 in Las Vegas. Aliza Sherman writes, "Altai Brands apparently went culturally tone deaf when they covered a woman in deli meats and served her up on the appetizer table. Comments ranged from shock to outrage in social media with calls to boycott the male-led company."

Sun Nov 27 2016 (Updated 12/01/16)Nationwide Solidarity as Police Escalate Violence Against Water Protectors
The Standing Rock Sioux Nation called for indigenous nations and others to stand in solidarity as they fight to prevent continued construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in their ancestral lands, especially near the Missouri River. Since federal agencies blocked construction under the Missouri River in early September, police have greatly increased the violence unleashed against the Water Protectors. Hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested and injured by police weaponry. Now, federal authorities are threatening to close the NoDAPL camp by December 5, but protesters promise continued resistance.

The Northern California cities of Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, Palo Alto, San José, Santa Cruz, Salinas, Hollister, Santa Rosa, and Fresno have stood up against Trump, the rallying cries being "Not My President" and "Fuck Trump!" Demonstrations continue on a daily or near-daily basis all over. There is no end in sight. Calls have gone out to disrupt inaugural events on January 20 and for a Women's March on Washington on January 21.

UPDATE: ...And a new four-year nightmare is about to begin. Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States. For coverage of the first anti-Trump protests across Northern California, see We've Got a Bigger Problem Now.
Considering the campaign for president currently lasts nearly two years, made worse by the two major political parties selecting nominees with the highest unfavorable ratings ever for presidential candidates, most of the country is ready for the election to be over already. While Indybay has not received reports on everything and everyone up for a vote in every Northern California district on Tuesday, November 8, those who've chosen to publish their reports and recommendations have covered a variety of the issues at stake. See what they have to say.
A protest was held at the corporate headquarters of Well Fargo bank in San Francisco on October 26 calling for jailing the executives and managers who oversaw the illegal opening of two million accounts in customers' names without their knowledge as well as setting up credit card accounts. The Obama administration refuses to press criminal charges. Speakers at the protest called for the jailing of Wells Fargo bankers for criminal fraud and for the expropriation of the bank and for it's transformation into a public bank for the people.

The ACLU of California has obtained records showing that Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram provided user data access to Geofeedia, a developer of a social media monitoring product that markets to law enforcement as a tool to monitor activists and protesters. After the ACLU reported their findings to the companies, some steps were taken to rein in Geofeedia. Further steps are required if these companies are to protect users of all backgrounds engaging in political and social discourse.
Wed Oct 19 2016Standing Up Against the Racist Police State by Taking a Knee
Since August 26, when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began to sit and then kneel during the playing of the national anthem to protest racist police violence, at least dozens of more Black people have been murdered by the police. What is also intensifying is that more and more athletes are taking a visible stand against police brutality. Students at the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) have been particularly vocal about their opposition to a lack of police accountability and the unfair treatment of Black and Brown people at the hands of law enforcement.
Mon Oct 10 2016White Supremacist Nathan Damigo Exposed
Nathan Damigo is a Social Studies major at CSU Stanislaus — and he's been building up a white supremacist group called Identity Evropa (IE) across Northern California. Identity Evropa focuses on recruitment by plastering college campuses with propaganda that promotes the creation of an all-white, fascist, authoritarian political power. On October 4, anti-fascists put up 300 posters at CSU Stanislaus detailing Damigo's hidden past as a convicted felon in a violent hate crime, as well as his involvement in a string of hate groups before attempting to rebrand himself with Identity Evropa.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed an emergency motion on September 4 for a temporary restraining order to prevent further destruction of the Tribe's sacred sites by the Dakota Access Pipeline. On the previous day, Water protectors clashed with security to successfully stop pipeline construction and some were viciously attacked by guard dogs. Protest camps have issued a global call for solidarity actions to be held September 3-17. In the Bay Area, solidarity actions will take place in Sacramento on September 7 and San Francisco on September 8.
The National Labor Council for Latin American Advancement passed a resolution in solidarity with farmworkers at the 21st LCLAA National Membership Convention held August 18-20 in Orlando, Florida. In the resolution, the Sacramento LCLAA Chapter went on record in support of "the struggle of the 70,000 farmworkers in San Quintin and the 468 farmworkers in Skagit County, Washington, for better wages, working conditions, and the recognition of their fighting unions..."

Summary: Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen are positive about the momentum of the Australian and US economies in 2016, but there are still a number of unknowns to deal with, including the effects of the slowing mining boom in Australia and the effect of rate rises on the US dollar.
Leaders optimistic for year ahead

Cà Mì is your ideal holiday home if you want to experience the Salento territory by living the true rythm of a small town of Southern Italy while enjoying your stay in a truly special place, where the original stones and finishings meet a more contemporary interior design. The owners found in Salento the ideal Mediterranean location for their holiday house. After a door-to-door hunt in the historic centre of Galatone they opened the door of this unique house of 60 sqm with 80 sqm of terraces on three levels, and made it their own in 2008. With 9 months of patient remodeling with local contractors and craftsmen, this house now features exquisite antique and handmade furniture and finishings. The well, the niches, the fireplace, the amazing stone vaulted ceiling of the living area were brought back to life in a more contemporary interior design. The huge master bedroom was rearranged to sleep comfortably 4 people with a newly designed mezzanine, and to create a large bathroom with double sinks and a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower room. The house has fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning/heating, TV with satellite receiver and DVD, a large canopy with 2 sun beds on the upper terrace plus a fabulous open-air shower to end up your summer day in the best possible way. Sip your "aperitivo" in the front terrace while listening to the locals chatting from the adjacent trattoria. Take a walk and awe at the beautiful architecture of the historical neighborhood. Take the car to explore olive groves, ruins, beautifully preserved villages, beaches and to discover the simply great food this land has to offer. Make your own Best of Salento!
We are from Faenza, a lovely town in the heart of the Romagna region of Italy. We love to travel by taking time, exploring and getting lost, and that's pretty much how we found this house. Life has brought us to a city very far away, so now we share our vacation home with all the fellow travelers that prefer experiencing over visiting.
Sandra Casadei purchased this apartment in 2008
Some years ago we grew friends with a lot of people originally from the Lecce province. Their flamboyant enthusiasm for their roots and their stubbornness in declaring that Salento was the most beautiful place in the world was almost annoying, so we decided to travel there to prove them wrong. From that time, we never went anywhere else to spend our summers. We discovered Galatone thanks to one of those friends, and we decided that this very southern and friendly town was the perfect place where to finally find our future "buen retiro". Not only it is ideally located near all the main local attractions while far enough from the madding tourist crowds, Galatone is also an architectural gem with great, simple restaurants where to enjoy the true local recipes.
While walking to Santino's Trattoria for a drink with our friends, we noticed the clearly abandoned property just next door and what seemed to be the nicest little terrace overlooking the narrow street. Thanks to Santino, the word of mouth started and the following day we were able to visit the house. Its unusual and unique configuration and the incredible amount of terrace space instantly captured our imagination and our hearts. A few months later, we were starting its restoration and counting the minutes separating us from our first toast on the terrace.
Close to some excellent beaches and yet away from all the bustle.Neighbours are great,particularly Santino whom possesses no English yet understood everything we said.Recommended.
We so enjoyed our stay in this nice and cozy house in the historical area of truly genuine Galatone. Ca' Mi' has all the comforts the traveller needs, with the extra of being very nicely designed and furnished. The owners and the housekeepers took care of every detail to make us feel welcome, from the moment we made the reservation and received tons of informations on Salento to the moment we checked-in and stepped in a spotless clean house that beat our highest expectations.
The real surprise was actually the location. Summertime in the Mediterranean is very lively and exciting, but the crowd can be overwhelming and stressful to some visitors. By choosing Galatone we could easily reach and explore every corner of Salento beating the craziest traffic, also knowing that at the end of the day we would return to this quiet, not touristy town that feels so far from the super-crowded Gallipoli. Which, by the way, is only 15 minutes away. A great trip in a stunningly beautiful region, that has some of the best we ever experienced in Italy for art, food, beaches and landscape.
Ca Mi is an authentic apartment in Salento, completely renstructured, with lots of comforts and a beautiful terrace with a shower open air. The location is in a perfect position in order to visit the Salento and all its amazing beaches.
We have travelled to Italy several times and were determined to see another side of the country this trip. We wanted the road less travelled, access to sites and beaches and a a good accommodation in the heart of a smaller town. We got it all!
First of all the owners, Sandra and Valerio, left no details to chance even before we arrived. We had complete instructions for every amenity in the apartment as well as a thorough guide to sites, restaurants, shopping and contacts.
The apartment is exactly as it is described with care taken to create a most comfortable place to rest and enjoy the town. It is obvious that they are proud of what they have created.
The real gift was the town and its people. We have many stories of the generosity and sincere kindness of people we met- none of whom spoke much English. But it did not seem to matter. We were escorted to the lavanderia, welcomed by Santino next door, driven to restaurants by strangers, provided directions to bakeries and other shops. We spent a week there and we both agreed that we could have quietly slipped into the fabric of the town. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the authentic southern Italian hospitality. A wonderful memory still.
We stayed 9 days at Ca Mi in September/October and enjoyed our stay in this lovely little town, close to everything in Salento. Lecce, Gallipoli, San Leuca, Galatina, and all spots in between. Beaches on both sides of the "heel". All within easy driving distance.
Ca Mi is a lovely apartment deep in the heart of the historic town of Galatone and Sandra and Valerio have done much to ensure that all needs and comforts are met. The home is beautiful, with vaulted ceilings, authentic and beautiful furniture and a modern two sinked bathroom! Their caretakers are wonderful people who took us for coffee on arrival and pointed us in the direction of our first dinner upon arrival. There is a basketful of booklets and pamphlets and an excellent binder of how tos, where tos that gave us great direction for our stay in Salento.
A lovely stay in a beautiful area of Italy. Many thanks.
We stayed in Ca Mi for about 9 days and rented a car so we could explore the surrounding area as much as possible during our all too short first visit to Puglia. We discovered that we were able to literally visit and enjoy almost all of the major small towns and cities in the area very easily because of the very close proximity to Galatone (i.e.Lecce, Galatina, Otranto), and also spend time at several of the very beautiful beaches in the area. We had a special interest in the viniculture and olive oil agriculture in the region and the central location of the apartment in Galatone allowed us to visit several wineries and Massarias and to enjoy the wonderful food and wine in these locations. I was also amazed to discover that my special interest in the early pre-Roman, predominantly Greek civilization, which shaped much of Puglia's history was readily accessible since the area around Galatone and Galatina is literally surrounded by active archaeological sites and there is a very good archaeological museum in Lecce. Ca Mi was a wonderful place to stay as the accommodation and creature comfort of the apartment was exactly as advertised by the owners and as potrayed in the online photos. It was especially rewarding for me to know we were staying in an apartment that had once been part of the original medieval walled city of Galatone. The vaulted ceiling, antique furniture, spacious stone walled bathroom and master bedroom were fantastic, and the kitchen and cooking facilities easily would provide all the necessary space and implements for home cooked meals if one was so inclined - we on the other hand ate out every evening at one of the many very good, surprisingly inexpensive restaurants in either Galatone or one of the nearby small cities. To this end the owners were very helpful with their many suggestions for dining out and places to visit in the surrounding area. Their helpers in Galatone (Luigi,Santino, Ilaria) were also very helpful upon our arrival (making sure we got settled in after a rather long ferry trip from Croatia), and were also very quick to give us help in finding nearby grocery stores, laundry facilities, and understanding parking in the nearby street. The Tratoria just below the apartment was great fun for us and the owner, Santino, and his son, Luigi, were very welcoming, introduced us to local people in the neighborhood, and fed us very well our first night in Galatone. We will return to Ca Mi.
Cà Mì is in the historical centre (Centro Storico) of Galatone, a town conveniently located along the main highway that from Lecce brings to Gallipoli and S. Maria di Leuca. Galatone is one of the few towns of Salento showcasing masterpieces by Giuseppe Zimbalo, the artist behind the most renown sites in Lecce: beautiful churches, palazzi, portals and ruins are all at walking distance from Cà Mì. Galatone is an ideal starting point to explore the beauties of Salento: the Ionio coastline has such gems as Gallipoli, Santa Caterina, Porto Cesareo and Porto Selvaggio. The sightseeing drive all the way down to S. Maria Di Leuca and Otranto is a must. Lecce (renamed the Florence of Southern Italy), Galatina and Nardò, all featuring gorgeous examples of Barocco Leccese, are just a few minutes away. Or you might just want to drive around and get lost in the fantastic rural landscape to discover - and taste! - your own 'Best of Salento'.

Background. The authors, investigating the effects of an oral triglyceride-rich fatty load upon the endothelial function as regards the production of nitric oxide, performed the determination of plasma nitrites, which are stable, specific and irreversible end-products of nitric oxide.
Methods. The series consists of 13 metabolically normal female subjects (mean age 55±7 years); after an overnight fasting each subject undertook an oral fat load (butter 1 g/kg); a venous blood withdrawal was carried out before oral fat meal and after two and four hours. For each plasma sample total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride plasma levels were determined by enzymatic methods; LDL-cholesterol was calculated by Friedwald's formula; the nitrite plasma levels were obtained by the Gutman and Hollywood colorimetric method.
Results. Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol did not show significant changes after the oral fat load; triglycerides rose significantly (p<0.05) after 4 hours as compared to the basal value (226±12 vs 175±12 mg/dl, +30%). The nitrite plasma levels were almost unchanged before oral fat load and after 2 and 4 hours.
Conclusions. The results suggest that the acute biochemical stress consisting of increased triglyceride-rich very low density lipoproteins was not able to stimulate the endothelial production of nitric oxide.

"Crimson Shore" is a highly satisfying addition to the long list of Agent Pendergast thrillers by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and sees the unusual hero and his ward dealing with the locals, including monsters, in Massachusets. Read John Orr's review.
"The Martian," by Andy Weir, is one of our favorite reads in a long time. An astronaut is injured and stranded on Mars, with no working communications and not enough food to last the years it would take a rescue mission to come get him. A very impressive, fascinating book. Read John Orr's review.

Caitlin McGinty, all six feet of her, flies into Hillbarn Theatre today (November 25, 2016) in the title role of "Mary Poppins," and we are expecting a delightful show. John Orr got to talk with her the other day, and believes she may be, in fact, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Read the story.

"Outside Mullingar" is full of charm and wit and, eventually, romance. TheatreWorks is staging a must-see production of the play by John Patrick Shanley. John Orr reviews.

"King Charles III" is an amusing, provocative and thoughtful "what-if?" at American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. As in, "What if Queen Elizabet II" suddently croaked and Prince Charles became kind? Tony Lacy-Thompson, a Brit himself, reviews.

"Waiting for Godot" makes for theatrical brilliance when delivered by the right cast of actors, such as the great bunch directed by Jeanie Smith at the Dragon. Very impressive production. Read John Orr's review.

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley
Kevin Berne / TheatreWorks Silicon Valley
Andrew Lippa, composer of "The Addams Family," "Big Fish," and "The Wild Party," among others, is a very accomplished fellow, but manages a good deal of boyish charm in "The Life of the Party," which is a celebration of his work. It is getting its U.S. premiere at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, August 24 through September 18, 2016.
"The Life of the Party" is Andrew Lippa, who has composed lots of excellent shows, and who proves to be a pretty good singer and hoofer in this show dedicated to his work. The TheatreWorks Silicon Valley production is delightful. John Orr reviews.

Matt Schofield interview and review

Matt Schofield and his band perform at Club Fox in Redwood City on Wednesday, August 3, 2016. Wednesdays are usually jam nights, but for this special show, with Garth Webber and band opening, and Schofield and band headlining, the jam was skipped.
Matt Schofield was in the Bay Area, and Tony Lacy-Thompson got to interview him and see his show at Club Fox in Redwood City. A fascinating tale of a modern-day blues man. Read on.

For ears and eyes
Wilkie Ferguson provides the charming vocal and tap dances with Sarah Reich in Post Modern Jukebox's delightful cover of Usher's "I Don't Mind."
Haley Reinhart is magnificent when she sings the Post Modern Jukebox cover of Radiohead's "Creep." Amazing. Here is the black and white studio version, and here is a color version from a concert. Magnificent.
Kate Davis covers Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" with Post Modern Jazz, and wow! How do we love it? Let us count the ways! Oh, nevermind, we can't count that high. Just go watch and listen to the video on YouTube.
Puddles the Pity Clown performs an amazing cover of Lorde's "Royals." Yes, it's a weird act, but ya know, whatever works. This guy's done plenty of interesting work as an entertainer, including under his real name, Mike Geier. Check out his fabulous video.
Judy Garland was an amazing talent, unmatched in many ways. Want the proof? Lend eyes and ears to her singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in a poor quality recording from the ancient days of TV. Fabulous.
Some guys singing "Bad Romance." It's so much fun.
Molly Bell is amazing. We have a profile of her here in Regarding Arts, but here's a favorite video of her performing in Divas for Life.
Lake Street Dive is a band formed by Rachael Price, who is a wonderful vocalist. I love this tune, which I heard on A Prairie Home Companion. Then I found this video.
"Laundry Room." Another from The Avett Brothers. Here is another tune that delves deep into emotion and yearning.
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Fabulous band performs in 2004 to honor George Harrison upon his posthumous induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Jeff Lynne, Steve Ferrone, Dhani Harrison and Prince. Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers does the early solo stuff. Prince shows up and takes over.
Tim O'Brien: "Hey, Joe," at Celtic Connections 2009, Glasgow Scotland.
Trucks & Tedeschi Band: "Midnight in Harlem," at the 2010 Guitar Festival.
Asylum Street Spankers: "Monkey Rag," and "If You Want Me to Love You."
OK Go: "This Too Shall Pass." Incredible Rube Goldberg machine video.
Willie Dixon: "I'm Nervous." Funny and charming video of the great songwriter, singer and bassist.
John Lee Sanders: Fabulous musician. Give a listen to "Midnight in New Orleans".
"D.W. Washburn" is a terrific song. So is "Saved." Here, they are performed as part of the revue "Smokey Joe's Cafe." The tenor in the lead for "D.W. Washburn" is fab.
"Let's Go Get Stoned" is the first thing the friend of a friend said when he got off the plane from Vietnam in 1967 or so. It's also the title of this fab song by Ray Charles.

(album available 128-320kbs)* 0 Label Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Hide/Show Album Info Label : One Way RecordsValue :Herbie Hancock extends the reach of his Head Hunters-vintage electric music into the soundtrack field, with some switchbacks to earlier styles and old-fashioned movie suspense music thrown into the eclectic mix. Jerry Peters provides the requisite orchestral backgrounds, and the wah-wah guitar licks give some indication as to where Herbie's funk music would be going in the future. The main title music is the best track -- tense, streaked with Hancock's echo-delayed electric piano and understated orchestrations. A good deal of the record, alas, is filled by listless film cues that are meaningless without the action in front of you. Still, the results are, in general, more intriguing than usual for the film genre.

Emotional Eating
Monday, June 08, 2009
Why is it when I am pissed there are always chips and dip in the house? I managed to get pretty worked up today and of course my eating was off all day because of a change in routine (a job interview for a job I can't take-too far away) and being completely outside my comfort zone. Then when I got home, I was tired (woken up at 3am the night before said interview - grrrrr!!) and the responsible party sees nothing wrong with waking me up. So, went to the testing then had to have lunch because they scheduled an interview at 1. It was 9:30 am and I was in unfamiliar territory, so I drove to more familiar ground 45 minutes away and had a hot dog at my soon to be technical school. Went back up to the interview, went pretty well which kind of kills me, I hope they hate me LOL Then drove back home in the pouring rain. So I went up with a half tank of gas and had to fill up about 20 miles from home. More money I didn't plan on spending. Then I get home and I am starving, and since I haven't made a list yet, there is no healthy food I want in the house. Hungry, tired and pissed. So, I had a t.v. dinner, watermelon, ravioli and chips and dip. crap. Tomorrow will be a better day and I will get back on track. I just dont get how when I am content I am not a bottomless pit, but when I am mad, I can eat all day long and never be full. Enough ranting, tomorrow is another day and I am going to bed, and woe to the poor sucker that wakes me up tonite! LOL

SEC to pressure proxy advisers on disclosures
The Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing to crack down on firms that advise shareholders on how to vote on public-company proxies, pressuring such companies to disclose more about potential conflicts of interest.
The SEC is expected to issue staff guidance as early as this week that would push companies to boost the disclosures, according to people familiar with the process.
The guidance is expected to say that SEC staff don't believe the current practice of requiring investors to contact an advisory firm for more information about potential conflicts conforms with the agency's interpretation of an existing SEC rule, these people said. An SEC spokesman couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Such guidance would most directly impact Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., the biggest US proxy adviser that has long been criticised by corporations and Republican lawmakers for selling corporate governance consulting services to some of the same companies that are the subject of its voting recommendations.
ISS, one of three primary US proxy advisers, is the only firm to also provide consulting services. The company has said it maintains a strict separation between the two arms of its business, and discloses conflicts when asked. An ISS spokesman declined to comment Monday evening about the possible staff guidance.
The SEC's move comes as tensions between corporate America—and in particular ISS—are running high amid a wave of activist investing. Proxy advisers' recommendations aren't binding but can be influential on issues such as replacing board members or separating the chairman and chief executive jobs. Such issues are among those often pushed by activist hedge funds in contentious corporate elections.
Proxy advisory firms grew out of an expectation that financial advisers, such as mutual funds, must vote the shares of their clients with care. But with many advisers monitoring portfolios of hundreds or thousands of companies, doing so is a daunting task.
Instead, they turn much of the job over to firms such as ISS and its closest rival Glass, Lewis & Co., which analyse the proxies, make voting recommendations and offer software that lets advisers cast their votes efficiently. A "no" recommendation from one of the proxy advisers can turn the tide on a vote on executive compensation or director elections.
Robert McCormick, chief policy officer for Glass Lewis, said SEC staff guidance that encourages more disclosure about potential conflicts "is a reasonable solution." But his employer, which lacks a consulting arm, believes disclosure is best handled through an industry code of conduct rather than possible future regulation.
McCormick also said Glass Lewis already voluntarily discloses extensive personal and business relationships to clients and said "we don't wait to be asked" by clients about potential conflicts.
Proxy-advisory firms' influence increased after a 2010 federal law required companies to give shareholders a vote on how they pay executives. Companies don't have to act on those say-on-pay votes, but poor outcomes can embarrass board members and fuel wider shareholder discontent. About 70% of 110 large and midsize companies said their executive-pay practices are influenced by proxy-advisory firms, according to a 2012 study co-led by the Conference Board, a New York research group.
Publicly traded companies complain the advisers have grown too powerful, with many smaller investors and investment advisers blindly following their recommendations. As a result, companies and other critics say, boards have grown skittish and, seeking to avoid public conflict with the proxy advisers, make governance decisions they might not have made otherwise.
Proxy advisers counter that few investors follow their recommendations unaltered, and that they simply provide client investors with tools to make better voting decisions. Most investors and financial managers, especially larger ones, often vote at odds with the proxy advisers' recommendations, the firms say.
SEC Chairman Mary Jo White convened a roundtable meeting in December to discuss proxy-adviser issues. In public remarks in March, White said staff were developing policy recommendations and would report to her "in the very near term."

ALEXIOS ALEXANDER, PETITIONER,v.RON BARNES, RESPONDENT.
Petitioner is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On July 25, 2012, the court ordered counsel for respondent to request that the Superior Court of El Dorado County transmit to this court, for filing under seal, a complete copy of the transcript of the hearing occurring on February 19, 2010 in criminal matters pertaining to petitioner. The court has now received that transcript.
The court has reviewed the transcript and finds no reason why the transcript should be filed under seal in this court. Counsel for respondent had initially indicated that some of the hearing which occurred in February 19, 2010 concerned petitioner's dissatisfaction with his trial counsel. That is not the case. Furthermore, petitioner has already filed the entire transcript of the February 19, 2010 hearing in the record, Dkt. No. 24 at 4-24, and requested that the transcript not be filed under seal, Dkt. No. 23.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Clerk of the Court lodge with the court the entire transcript of proceedings occurring in the Superior Court of El Dorado County on February 19, 2010 which was received by the court on August 7, 2012.
2. The portion of the court's July 25, 2012 order granting the parties 14 days from the day the court received the transcript of the February 19, 2010 proceedings to file a motion to have the transcript unsealed is vacated.*fn1

Did you know that Jackie Kennedy ordered the kitchen help to save all the leftover wine during a State dinner, mixed it with fresh wine and served again during the next White House occasion.
I wonder what Michele does?
The point being is that Jackie Kennedy respected the People and was frugal with taxpayers money where as Michelle Obama has utter contempt for anyone not black and she wants to spend as much of the People's money that she can get away with.
And I seriously doubt Jackie mocked anyone. How do you know that Jack and Jackie did not drink the same "blended" wine?

Barack Obama is no Jack Kennedy!
Income Tax Cut, JFK Hopes To Spur Economy
By cutting taxes JFK stimulated the economy which lasted until the late 1960's.
Recession of 196061
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Recession of 19601961 was a recession in the United States. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research the recession lasted for 10 months, beginning in April 1960 and ending in February 1961. The recession preceded the second longest economic expansion in U.S. history which lasted from February 1961 to the Recession of 196970 in December 1969 (only the 1990s saw a longer period of growth).
The Federal Reserve began to tighten monetary policy in 1959 and eased off in 1960.
During this recession, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States fell 1.6 percent. Though the recession ended in November 1960, the unemployment rate did not peak for several months. In May 1961, the rate reached its height for the cycle of 7.1 percent.

Er, show us how and where and when Obama backed the Syrian rebels, Rogue. Everyone knows AlQaeda is partly behind the uprising in Syria, which makes the US and its allies' position most difficult. You can't really support either side, both are poison, but as bad and cruel as Assad's regime is or was, just wait 'til you see the rebels once in power. US aid to rebels, if any, is minimal.

As to Michelle Obama, please indicate how she wants to spend the people's money.
And still waiting for that comparison of travel costs between Obama and his predecessors, in 2013 dollars please. Should be interesting, specially the last one, GWB, who travelled to the Texas White House on AF 1 practically every weekend.

Did you know that you can't buy bulk fertilizer without presenting identification and that many farm chemicals can only be purchased with a special license. It is illegal for one farmer to sell the material to another without confirming their license, and dealers are required to keep detailed inventory records and are subject to regular inspection.(All restrictions not imposed on guns or high capacity magazines)
Since none of these prevented the OKC bombing, I guess we should just eliminate all these unnecessary restrictions and make sure fertilizer trades as freely as guns?

Lies, my god, how you outlie even your breathing. Did the Obamas boo GWB and his family at the inauguration? Re-read what your wrote, you make it come out like Obama booed GWB.
One more thing. I saw the boos and the people doing the booing. As muted boo went out from 3 stupid teenagers. That's it. From that, your visceral hate for Obama makes you write that the new President personally booed GWB. What a poor hateful obsessed frustrated white old man you are. Oh, you're not old. Okay. See Doonsebury the last 3 days. Ha ha, the talent agent is trying to find "A" actors to front for GOP personalities. The best the agent can find is Chuck Noriis. LMAO (LRS tm reg'd). And Charles Bronson, but he's dead. Again, Rogue, tell me, tell us, why are the best and most intelligent actors and directors, the best and most intelligent and wittiest TV satirists, all democrats? What do you guys have to offer? Trump. Ha ha.
Your GOP idol Trump accientally sees himself in the mirror, is shocked, yells : "You're fired, scumbag". That's the kind of intellectual wit the birthers and tea partyers partake of.
Then the birther and tea-partyer thigh and backslapping begin with cheap and demeaning N-word jokes, gay bashing, followed by gunshots constantly missing the tin cans, accompanied by barrels of cheap bathtub beer, moonshine, pork rinds, tubs of KFC and cheetos. It's called "BIRTHER AND TEA PARTY CULTURAL EVENT". Followed by tv clips of Honey Booboo, wrasssling and Chuck Norris singlehandedly bringing Iran and a couple of other baaaad Islamist countries to their knees, meantime firing rockets from his motorbike, LMAO (LRS tm reg'd).(Birthers , with Rogue leading, are cheering, thinking this actually happened)"

VoucherCloud surveyed 2,392 people ages 18 or older and, according to the L.A. Times, "were given both tech and non-tech terms and were asked to choose from three possible definitions."
The results? An embarrassing amount of Americans think HTML is a disease you can catch from another human being–which says a lot about the state of both sex and computer education in the U.S.
The web is an interesting place.
What can be even more interesting is what happens behind the scenes that make a website visible to you. There are many people out there who have a desire to learn to code but simply may not have the finances to attend a 2 or 4 year institute.
With technology continuing to evolve it has certainly become easier for those looking for alternate routes to receiving quality education and training without spending thousands of dollars.
Here are 5 sites that can get you on the path to coding. As with anything, it takes dedication to learn these skills. However, in time, and after much frustration you just may get the hang of it.
1. Treehouse Code School: Yes, this is the first site I'll mention because I was a product of it myself. There are two membership options with the cheapest starting at $25 a month. Its certainly not a bad deal if your consistent with it, and give it an legitimate chance. Treehouse offers many courses such as: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and videos on how to begin freelancing.
2.Code Academy: I have learned quite a few things on this site as well, and who can knock the fact that its free? The courses are interactive and they also have an online community where you can join others to enhance your code skills.
Code Academy offers courses such as: HTML, CSS, Python, Ruby, and Javascript.
3. W3 Schools: This site is very popular amongst designers and developers who may already be well into their careers. It is a great reference while you continue to learn code. (as the process never seems to end) It also features tutorials and you can even earn certificates to prove that you have what it takes to take your coding.
W3 is a great reference for: HTML/CSS, JQuery, Javascript and PHP
4. Lynda.com: This is another great option if you are interested in enhancing your code schools. Lynda has hundreds of video courseswith expert teachers to help you along the way. I would recommend Lynda for those who may already have their feet wet in the web world because the videos can be quite fast. However, the amount of knowledge you gain is significant enough to give it a chance. They also cover subjects such as business and photography.
5. SkillCrush.com: Though Skillcrush appears to attract women with an interest in learning code, I recommend it for anyone. Skillcrush mainly focuses on HTML/CSS, however they recently introduced a course on Javascript that begins in February.They have exciting blogs, that explain concepts in a concise manner. Their prices can be on the steeper side, with their 6 week HTML/CSS course beginning at $299. Even if you do not decide to go that route, I highly recommend following their blog.
here's a little tool i've been wokring on: an HTML5 image filter!

CSS is awesome!
CSS Layouts wireframe.

AMANDA U. AJULUCHUKU, PLAINTIFF,v.UNITED AIRLINES, DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. By order filed September 19, 2012, plaintiff's complaint was dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has now filed both a first and second amended complaint.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the court is directed to dismiss the case at any time if it determines the allegation of poverty is untrue, or if the action is frivolous or malicious, fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief against an immune defendant.
A claim is legally frivolous when it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989); Franklin v. Murphy, 745 F.2d 1221, 1227-28 (9th Cir. 1984). The court may, therefore, dismiss a claim as frivolous where it is based on an indisputably meritless legal theory or where the factual contentions are clearly baseless.
Neitzke, 490 U.S. at 327. The critical inquiry is whether a constitutional claim, however inartfully pleaded, has an arguable legal and factual basis. See Jackson v. Arizona, 885 F.2d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 1989); Franklin, 745 F.2d at 1227.
Because the second amended complaint on file supersedes any previously filed complaints, the court will consider the allegations in that pleading. On review, the court finds those allegations to be identical to those set forth in the dismissed complaint. That is, plaintiff again claims, inter alia, that she was poisoned on a United Airlines flight from New York City to Los Angeles in February 2012, that her son was kidnaped and her father murdered by Baltimore Police Officers, that she is being discriminated against on account of her race and physical disability, and that a doctor at UCLA extracted two teeth when defendant(s) attempted to murder her in February 2012. The court again finds the allegations in plaintiff's complaint so fantastical and bizarre that it concludes that plaintiff's complaints are "clearly baseless." Neitzke, 490 U.S. at 327.
Furthermore, the federal venue statute requires that a civil action based on diversity jurisdiction be brought only in "(1) a judicial district where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside in the same State, (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is situated, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant is subject to personal jurisdiction at the time the action is commenced, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1391(a).
Defendant does not reside in this district, nor does plaintiff presently reside in this district. The claim arose in either New York City, which is in the Southern District of New York, or in Los Angeles, which is in the Central District of California. Therefore, plaintiff's claim should have been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the Central District of California. "The district court of a district in which is filed a case laying venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). A court may sua sponte dismiss based on defective venue. Costlow v. Weeks, 790 F.2d 1486, 1488 (9th Cir. 1986).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
