Pepperl+Fuchs has added new short cylindrical barrel and square profile models to its NBB family of inductive sensors. These flush-mount sensors deliver sensing ranges up to 1.5 mm and switching frequency up to 10 KHz in temperatures ranging from -25 °C to +85 °C (-13 to 185 °F ). Their compact size and reliable operation make them an ideal sensing solution in space-restricted machine mounting applications where super-fast switching speeds are necessary.
Just 8 mm in diameter, NBB1.5-8GM16-E2 short barrel sensors are available in PNP normally open and normally closed models. NBB1.5-6.5S16-E2 short barrel sensors feature a 6.5 mm smooth barrel and operate in PNP normally open mode. These short barrel models feature a super-short and robust 16 mm cylindrical stainless steel housing for reliable operation in space-restricted mounting locations. They deliver a 1.5 mm nominal sensing range with switching frequency of 6000 Hz.
NBB0,8-F141-E2 square profile inductive sensors feature a 25mm long brass, nickel-plated housing with a 5 mm square profile. They deliver a 0.8 mm nominal sensing range and switching frequency of 10 KHz.

The guy is a playmaker and we don't have a single one of those at the LB position.
To be honest, Devin Taylor reminds me a very little of Michael Strahan.. I said a very little!!!lol
Hes made plays from his first snap at S.Carolina, when he forced a fumble(seems to have a knack for), he also has returned multiple INTs for TDs, and Blocked a Punt while there, he lead the team in Passes defensed in 2010, and QB hurries, and has always made a ton of plays against the run, as u can see with his solid tackle totals.. Hes been a really diverse playmaker for S.Carolina, and has showed he can impact a game in many diffrent ways..

He looked to have much better speed then i thought in that shrine game the other day. Like i said, he chased down a RB(believe Michael?) from about 15yrds away .. He really closes the gap quickly with long strides and ability to lay out his long frame and make tackles sooner then a shorter person who would need another step or 2 to do so... Athletic enough to block punts and return picks in back to back seasons as well..
I'm telling ya Redeye, ur sleeping on Devin Taylor!!lol
Ogletree is still a second round prospect on most every draft board I've seen.
Okafor or Ansah for me (Ansah is tearing it up in the Senior Bowl so might not be available at #19).
(1A)OT Eric Fisher if O-line is not addressed free agency
(1B DT Sheldon Richardson- Big need at DT or a similiar high ranking DT
(1C) DE Ezkiel Ansah- dont think he ll be there at 19

An adorable feline influenced female creature. She is said to have the voice of creature beyond that of an angel, but rarely displays her astonishing talent. Although Nekou is often secerative about matters, she is quite arousing when "opens up". She is a notable vocalist and guitarist, currently performing in a band by the name of Akueikyou. Her lyrics are anything but thoughtless, and are often the cause of leaving bistandards such as myself breatheless. Nekou is hardly what one would call innocent, performing naughty tricks countless times with the turn of your head. There are rumours that she could very well be the very escance of beauty. I myself, do not doubt these romours, but instead enforce them. Her eyes are those of a goddess. I could stare into her for eternity. When Nekou is sleeping, she might appear vulnerable, but do not be fooled. I understand the temptations are high and endless, however Nekou is always watching. She gains amusement from licking various things; and what a fine job she does doing so. Above all, the untopable feeling, is that of feeling her devine lips pressed against your skin.

The Italian Presence
24 February 2013 , 10:15 AM by Rob Minshull
More than half of all Australians were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was.
One Brisbane man who has a professional as well as a personal interest in his family's past is the author and local historian Ian Bonaccorso.
Ian has written a history of Queensland's Italian pioneers called Addio Italia - Hello Australia and he has recently co-ordinated a new exhibition for The Royal Historical Society of Queensland called The Italian Presence.
Ian is talking to Warren Boland.

How can I stop earwigs eating my silverbeet?
Get rid of sheltering plant debris and rubbish before resorting to poisonous baits, as earwigs eat other garden pests. Make overnight traps with rolled up corrugated cardboard, or scrunched up dampish newspaper in empty flowerpots placed upside-down on stakes near your plants, shaking out earwigs next morning into a bucket of hot soapy water. Fish oil is also attractive to earwigs, so any time you open a tin of tuna in oil try using the unwashed can as a lure.
Why are some branches on my Japanese maple showing signs of dieback?
This could be attributable to frost damage on soft unripened growth in winter, but if there are dark lesions on or around the branches it may be a bacterial dieback. Fungicides won't help with this but you should prune out the affected parts, always remembering to cut back to just above a pair of buds or side branch down to healthy green wood. Japanese maples need wind protection, and watering in hot dry weather.
If you have a gardening question, email Glenys at firstname.lastname@example.com

text: The ultimate success of offense is measured in points. So if Garrett's offense requires successful running to work best, we'd see it show up in the yearly point totals. But we don't. There's almost no correlation whatsoever between Dallas' scoring and how well or poorly we run the ball. (Year: Rush Yards/YPC/Points) 2007: 1,746/4.2/455 2008: 1,723/4.3/362 2009: 2,103/4.8/361 2010: 1,786/4.2/394 2011: 1,807/4.4/369 2012: 1,265/3.6/376 Note that in the Garrett era, 2009 was overwhelming the best season running the football, both in terms of total output and efficiency per carry. It was also the year we scored the fewest points.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
If you happen to be in Venice on November 21st you will be the lucky witnesses of a very special event for the city.
Of all the venetian festivities, the "Madonna della Salute" is certainly the less touristy: this celebration recalls, year after year, very strong religious feelings among the Venetians.
The roots of this festivity go back to the terrible plague's wave that hit Venice in the years 1630-31: the Doge, in despair, asked to the Virgin to intercede in order to stop the massacre.
Therefore, the construction of the "Chiesa della Salute" is a real vow to the Virgin by all the Venetians for their deliverance from the plague: the work on its construction began in 1631 and came to an end only 56 years later, in 1687.
Since then, on November 21st of every year, the Venetians pay homage to the "Madonna della Salute" by crossing the bridge from St. Mark to the Church, where many come in order to pray and perpetuate the age-old bond of gratitude that links Venice to the Virgin Mary.
By tradition, the day dedicated to "Madonna della Salute", the Venetians eat "castradina", an ancient dish prepared with salted mutton, smoked and cured, used to flavor a tasty soup made with cabbage, onions and wine.
Attending this celebration while you are in Venice will certainly be an unforgettable experience.


text: I have a similar problem to what some others have posted, but I am not familiar with the engine enough to know what all the parts are. My problem first began about 2 months ago. I had not run it for about two weeks, when I took my family on a short trip, 60 miles round trip. I first noticed the problem when I stepped on the accelerator. It felt like a cylinder was not firing (guessing, not really sure what that would feel like) but it was an intermittent problem, not constant like every firing. So, I replaced the fuel filter and plugs. This was about two weeks later. After I started it up, it did not start up normally, as if it was not getting fuel or spark. So, i got a fuel pressure tester and found I had good pressure. Lest I forget, I had the code scanned: P0300. I have a 3 page list of possible fixes, and have read through a couple of posts. I am not familiar with the engine enough to know where the canister is, which hoses to check for vacuum. I have some pics if needed, but I am sure most of the experts here already are familiar enough with these engines, as I have read in other posts. So, how do I check for air leaks in the Air Induction system? How do I check for air leaks in the EGR system and related hoses? How do I check for air leaks in the PCV system? How do I check that the EGR valve is stuck open? How do I check for an EVAP problem or if it is fuel saturated? I know enough to check for spark at the plugs, but how would I know if I am getting enough? Thanks fellow members! Mike

UTSA Life: UTSA Counseling Services offers comprehensive program of crisis services to assist students
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(June 23, 2008)--UTSA Counseling Services is home to support groups, learning assessments and advice for managing life's hurdles. This is the last of three stories on the continuum of care offered to UTSA students by Counseling Services. The first story centered on services concerning developmental issues, the second on adjustment issues and this one on crisis intervention.
For students facing serious physical, emotional or mental health crises, UTSA Counseling Services offers a comprehensive program of crisis services aimed to assist students who are victims of sexual assault and students who are at risk of harm to themselves and others.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

Jessica Muniz, a staff clinician in counseling services, provides education about the prevention and treatment of sexual assault and partner violence, and advocates for victims of sexual assault and partner violence. She carries a telephone 24/7 for calls related to sexual assault that go to campus police.
However, many students do not want to report sexual assault. Victims often know their assailant, for example, or the assault may have occurred at a party, and the victim feels somewhat responsible. When Muniz is made aware of a student who may have had this experience, she meets directly with them.
"I try to give information so that students can make informed decisions for themselves," Muniz says. "To advocate for the victim is to have the knowledge to give them the information they need about the different agencies who might assist [students] on many different levels of care," says Muniz.
These resources include the local hospital where SANE (sexual assault nurse examine) exams take place, the Rape Crisis Center, the Office of the District Attorney and various resources provided by the State of Texas.
One resource that crime victims may not be aware of, says Muniz, is the State of Texas crime victims compensation fund, which is available to victims of violent crime, including sexual assault and partner violence. This fund may pay for relocation, medical bills and other needed services.
Counseling Services collaborates closely (with students' consent) with the UTSA Office of Judicial Affairs and UTSA Police Department when sexual assaults are reported, reaching out to the victim in the most sensitive way possible. Staff also conducts prevention programs for safety and awareness throughout the year.
One of the most serious issues on college campuses today is suicide prevention. UTSA Counseling Services offers interventions and referrals to students at risk of harm to self or others.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college-age students.
"Suicide isn't just one issue," says Elizabeth Stanczak, executive director of student health and counseling services. What puts students at greatest risk is often a dangerous combination of despair or great loss coupled with some kind of substance that impairs judgment and increases impulsivity, she notes.
Counseling Services maintains a 24/7 schedule for crisis intervention and a serious incident response program that will make contact with any student who they learn are at risk of self-harm. There is always an on-call counseling staff member available who the police will call if they get a report of a student in serious trouble. "There's always somebody willing to talk and to listen," Stanczak says.
Staff members provide training to residential staff, learning communities, sororities and fraternities, advisers and others to teach about the risks, signs and symptoms, and myths of suicide.
One of the formal training programs counseling services offers is called QPR for Suicide Prevention, standing for Question, Prompt and Refer, a technique developed at the University of Washington. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.
"When someone says, 'I don't think I can go on anymore,' you ask them, 'What does that mean?'" Stanczak explains. The prompt is, "Do you have a plan? Why don't you go talk to somebody?" The next step is to refer. "Refer them to some professional in the community, whether it's to counseling services, a hospital, call an ambulance, the police... anything to keep them safe," says Stanczak.
"This is not a treatment. This is merely trying to help someone understand what it is to a friend, to get somebody what they need," says Stanczak, a licensed QPR trainer.
Overcoming a perceived stigma or seeking help for a potentially serious issue is a struggle, say staff. Students often fear that a record of seeking help in a crisis will go on their academic records or that they will get kicked out of school. This is not the case, say UTSA Counseling Services staff members.
"We want to get the word out that help-seeking behavior is normal, healthy and appropriate," Stanczak says.
NOTE: Volunteers are always needed for violence prevention work to plan and present campus-wide education and awareness projects, CS staff say. Students who wish to volunteer at the Women's Resource Center or become a peer educator for the organization CURE (Campus United for Respect and Education) can contact Melissa Hernandez or Jessica Muniz at (210) 458-4140.
- Recreation and Wellness Center Room 1.810, 1604 Campus, (210) 458-4140
- Buena Vista Street Building Room 1.308, Downtown Campus, (210) 458-2930
Students can schedule an appointment or, for a first visit, they are encouraged to come in during walk-in hours, which change each semester. Check the Web site for walk-in hours.

I have two patriotic middle fingers raised for the obnoxious pig in the broken-down Yukon GT on Route 1 last Saturday, and for all the other Kenny Chesney fans who clogged metro Boston's southbound arteries like cholesterol from noon forward. Thanks to that hick pop frat boy's concert at Gillette Stadium, it took me three hours to get to Mansfield and the hip-hop event of 2008.
I wasn't the only one held back from "Rock the Bells" by fleets of ugly persons driving Chevy Avalanches. Legendary "Fuck Whitey" rappers Dead Prez got stuck as well. Didn't help their rep for never being on time for any show ever.
By the time I showed, Rakim was stepping on stage. This Chesney character and his wretched henchmen had made me miss Immortal Technique, MURS, and Jay Electronica. If it hadn't been for the seven hours of head nodding I still had ahead of me, I might have been bitter.
But between the $100-or-so worth of overpriced, plastic-bottled Budweisers that I drained and the contact high from the cocaine blunts that the 15-year-old scumbags behind me were chain-burning (hey, what else smells like that?), I got mellow enough to forget about the traffic. I even got my sense of humor back when Raekwon and Ghostface Killah surfaced with a white hype man who had to shield his mouth through the torrent of N-bombs in their set.
Redman was equally refreshing. Following the disappointing announcement that "Method Man had some other shit to do in New York," he delivered a raucous, cameo-studded performance. In the course of a half-hour he was joined by DJ Kool of "Let Me Clear My Throat" fame, Wu-Tang B-list all-star Street Life, and Cypress Hill hero B-Real, who delivered a lit blunt to a jonesing Redman on stage.
Not even Mos Def or A Tribe Called Quest saw fit to address country music's conspiracy to block hip-hop fans from attending this year's "Rock the Bells." Nas, however, came close with his introduction to "Sly Fox," which he dedicated to "That faggot-ass nigga Bill O'Reilly."

Re: farls with what?
Sun dried could be good, but with the garlic i add in guacamole it already has a good taste. Fresh tomatoes will add too much juice.

Re: farls with what?
I like them with any topping which has a bit of a sauce: thick and rich.
You could try thinly sliced leek gently sweated until soft and then add come cream cheese or cream and black pepper and topped further with diced tomato. Go one step further and top this again with some grated cheese and grill until the cheese melts over the toms and creamed leeks.
Mushrooms in a white garlic sauce perhaps
Or to keep a bit of the traditional feel, how about scrambled egg and smoked salmon (omit the salmon if they do not eat fish). Top the scrambled egg with black pepper and small peices of diced tomato for colour
And again what about scrambled eggs with peppers (sorry it is late; there is a name for this lol ) gently fry some diced peppers and onion until hot but not soft, then add some diced tomatoes. When the toms are hot, add the mixed egg and scramble. Sprinkle parsley on the top.
You can add variations to the egg e.g. add some chillies or some garam masala for an Indian feel lol. The world is your farl!

Re: farls with what?
right, tried them on with guacamole, topped with chopped tomatoes salad (tomatoes, red onion, vinegar and oil): they were good, but because of the guacamole I couldn't taste the farls at all, perhaps I should use something with a more dlicate taste next time

I have to admit I think they're best fresh with a bit of butter on them and nothing else!

Re: farls with what?
Next time I will try xanderlee's suggestions. I have already tried them with salmon and they were delicious but my gf is vegetarian so when I cook them for her I will try the mushrooms

Reviews of this property
Very nice apartment and very well comunicated. We spend a lovely weekend here.
They were very nice
Very good experience, klara is a very good people. So nice!
The apartment is in a good situation, next railway, perfect.
We had totaly enjoy our trip.
See you klara
My two friends and I enjoyed our stay at Klara's place. The room was big and clean and the location was perfect. Klara was very helpful and kind. She gave us some useful tips and took us on a walk around the area. We definitely recommend this apartament!
Klara was very helpful and nice. I liked so much the room, it's very big, clean and organized. I recommend her house, the location is a little bit far from the center but it's possible to go there with Trams and Metro. Vienna is very beautiful, I will never forget this experience. Thank you Klara for everything!
Pleasant atmosphere, very hospitable and nice "roommate". Everything was right!
Angenehme Atmosphäre, sehr gastfreundliche und nette "Mitbewohner". Hat alles gepasst!
Great apartment (High building. Magnificent staircase.) Apartment is indeed unrenovated, but, and especially so, fascinating.
The hosts are absolutely lovely people. Lots of good information (also in writing). Guest book with good tips.
Tolle Wohnung (Hoher Altbau. Herrschaftliches Treppenhaus.) Wohnung ist zwar unrenoviert, aber, bzw. insbesondere deswegen, faszinierend.
Die Gastgeber sind total nette Leute. Viele Gute Informationen (auch schriftlich). Gästebuch mit guten Tipps.
apartment very nice and relaxing, with welcoming owners, helpful and friendly. Absolute comfort: Subway U6 in front. there again.
appartamento molto bello e rilassante, con proprietari accoglienti, disponibili e simpatici. Comodità assoluta: metropolitana u6 di fronte. ci tornerei.
Very friendly welcome and very well organized. Extremely open and helpful landlord. Any time!
Sehr freundlicher Empfang und sehr gut organisiert. Extrem offene und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Jederzeit wieder!
- The hosts Clare and Rainer are very nice and helpful
- The use of bathroom and separate toilet was no problem
- Because of the location (relatively in the center, metro and tram near) the apartment is ideal to discover Vienna
- Due to the large road and the old windows, the hotel and enjoyed it's not quite as useful.
- die Gastgeber Klara und Rainer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit
- die Mitbenutzung von Bad und getrenntem WC war problemlos
- Wegen der Lage (relativ im Zentrum, U-Bahn und Tram Nähe) ist die Wohnung ideal um Wien zu entdecken
- Durch die große Verkehrsstraße und den alten Fenstern ist die Unterkunft für Lärmempfindliche nicht ganz so geeignet.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

The United States Congress is procrastinating on the implementation of a budget because its essentially broke. I guess if they had not over regulated the free market and subsidized health care, education and agriculture we wouldn't be experiencing the effects of brokeasstination.

Anti-MI group wants election on Mah; cost =$1,000,000
Original post made by Everyparent, Midtown, on Apr 13, 2007
Over the past year, she fought tooth and nail against Mah's proposal for a Mandarin program in PAUSD.
Now she has started a petition to push Mah out of her seat on the Santa Clara County Board of Education. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Brigel would like us taxpayers to cough up one million dollars so she can have a special election. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
Whatever you think of the Mandarin idea, it boggles the mind that anyone would choose to hack away at the county's limited resources [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]

First, take a deep breath. Keep in mind that the timing of the petition didn't allow much research on costs of an election. I think Faith's efforts are understandable, considering Grace's determination to get her program into PAUSD, no matter the cost to the district. But, unlike Grace, I'll bet you $100 bucks that once Faith realizes how expensive an election would be, will drop her effort, because she's not in this to cost the county an unreasonable amount of money. She isn't going to push this election and strong arm county taxpayers into unreasonable financial costs to get her way. I wish I could say the same thing of MI proponents. So relax already.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Apr 14, 2007 at 12:10 am
What's the basis for the $1 million estimate? I know it was given by some official, but I'm wondering how they came up with it.
Faith Brigel was quoted as saying she thought it was more like $40K to $50K.
Are you really surprised that some people don't want Grace Mah on the county board of education? They disagree with her views. There wasn't an election.
And she's been pushing for a cause that did not win support of the board. I think there are real questions about why the county board chose someone who clearly does not represent the mainstream view of her district. Indeed, there was a certain sense of giving it to Palo Alto in some of the quotes by the head of the county board.
Other issues that have crossed my mind--and as I've said, I'm split on the petition--Grace Mah is a charter supporter. Is it in our best interest *as a basic-aid district* to have a strong charter supporter representing us at the county level?
I keep wondering to what extent the county board is trying to take advantage of the political disarray in the PAUSD with a kind of power grab, by appointing someone who's been fighting the board for years.

a resident of Midtown

Actually, I am surprised that PAEE is so bent on revenge that they are willing to cost the district $1 million.
I understand they did not like Mah's proposal--though they were never able to come up with solid arguments, in my opinion. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
Normally, when the position is vacated between elections, it is filled by appointment until the next election. In this case, PAEE wants to us to pay $1 million to move the election up by one year.

a resident of Palo Verde
on Apr 14, 2007 at 9:00 am
We ALL prefer the opportunity to have an election, but it is recognized across America that when a position is vacated, it is cumbersome and costly to hold an election for a temporary replacement. That's why we have a line of succession for the presidency and that's why governors appoint senators to finish off a term, and so on down to lowly county board positions.
Faith, we all had the chance to write letters and let the county board hear our opinions on the candidates, and from what I hear/read in the news, they did get a lot of correspondance from the public. I don't know why they chose Mah, but the board interviewed all three candidates in a public setting, and they deemed her the best for a short-term position. Now that you realize how expensive a special election would be, I hope you will grit your teeth and back off from a very expensive election. Our democratic process is designed so that we don't have to foot the bill for elections every time there is a vacancy.
a resident of Barron Park
on Apr 14, 2007 at 11:10 am
If enough people object to Mah, perhaps the county board could appoint one of the other two candidates.
It's my understanding that all three candidates were qualified.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 14, 2007 at 11:11 am
The costs of simply adding a couple candidates onto an election that will already happen in November have not been explored, nor have the costs of a mail-in election.
I have my severe doubts that it costs 1 million to run a whole, special, separate election, and 4/5ths of that ( $800,000) to simply add a couple names to a ballot that is already going to happen in November. Makes no sense to me. That needs exploring.
Saying this is something against Grace Mah is absurd. I have read the petition. This is something FOR representative government. A lot can happen in 1 1/2 years of voting on a County Board on issues that affect us.
Notice the petitioners are willing to take the chance that Grace would win an election.
From the beginning, this has been about REPRESENTATION, or the lack therof.
I agree with whoever said take a deep breath. The vitriol of the original post is astonishing, especially considering that it is coming from the "winning" side! Everyparent..it is ok to use the law on your side when it is to your benefit, but not to use it when it works against you?
It takes two to tango.

Common guys - this has nothing to do with "revenge." It's whether or not Grace is the best person to oversee public education policy in Santa Clara. I for one, would like to hear what the heck she believes in, other than MI - I've never heard of her doing anything, let alone speaking about any other program, ever, like achievement gap issues, for example. I'll try and do an internet search on her and see if anything pops up other than MI. I'll eat my words if I find anything she's actively accomplished in education unrelated to MI - otherwise, talk about actions speaking louder than words.
a resident of Green Acres
on Apr 14, 2007 at 3:55 pm
What the heck is this discussion about? The County Board of Education web site said if people oppose Mah's appointment, they can submit a petition of signatures. Where does a special election fit in this? If someone doesn't like the appointment, there is still time to submit the requisite petition. Did I miss something?
There were three qualified candidates, but the Board didn't just flip a coin, Grace Mah is an intelligent and hardworking person and that likely came across in the interview, whatever you may think of how she has handled MI.
I have been very critical of how Ms. Mah has handled dealing with PAUSD and her apparent lack of willingness to work with people who have legitimate concerns for how what she wants will affect the district and the kids it serves. But many of us who opposed the MI plan she has pushed (note: not MI, just this plan) aren't presently opposing her appointment, and I haven't met a single other person who has expressed any sentiment of "revenge". I've heard a lot of people express sentiments that the appointment may end up being a blessing in the end.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions about Faith Brigel, either. If she believes Grace Mah took the appointment to get connections or power to further something that could harm PAUSD, then she is acting in good faith, not revenge. I think anyone who has been involved in this debate could see how she might feel that way.
One may question whether there is a better way to the end -- but I don't see any hard facts about what is going on to judge here.
Can everyone please limit future posts on this thread to facts and not rehashing bad feelings from the past?

I saw a tape of the interview of the 3 candidates.
Ask the County for a copy. Ms. Mah's was the shortest of all the interviews. She talked about working for 6 years to "bring an enrichment program" to PAUSD, and about working on the Site Council for her son's school. That was the extent of her public work in education. Her other credentials had to do with her professional business/engineering background. There was no other discussion related to her educational qualifications, and the only other "public works" qualification she brought forth was her work at the YMCA.
So, no, as far as I could see, her interview was not what compelled the SCCOE B of E to select her. They clearly had decided based on speaking to her prior to the selection interview, and for reasons that they do not feel obliged to reveal.
They stated that what they were looking for was a person with experience, but they forgot to say what kind of experience, and we all assumed it had something to do with educational work for all kids, and prior Board experience
a resident of College Terrace
on Apr 14, 2007 at 11:32 pm
When you watched the tape, did you also notice that Mah was the only candidate who used her allotted time to speak directly to the questions asked without sidetracking, and because she was succinct and direct, she was the only one who did not run out of time and therefore the only candidate to cover each of the questions?
Let's not accuse the BOE of unfair practices. They all adhered to the correct public process and did not sneak in any pre-interviews. Their selection was based on written submissions of candidates, public interviews, and statements pro/con from the public. All above board.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 15, 2007 at 12:18 pm
To Watchful: We did not see the same tape. Nobody ran out of time, everyone answered each question, in varying degrees of detail.
Oh well, it doesn't really matter, does it? It turns into a he said/she said thing.
I hope the County figures out a way to put it, or at least future meetings, on their site. I think it is strange that the County has no way of making their meetings publicly available online. I hope they figure that out soon.
By the way, I was looking for voting records of the current SCCOE board and Bill Evers, and can't find anything other than minutes up through 2004. Anybody know how to find that info?

To Watchful: OH yes, another clue we didn't see the same tape was that the Board stated ( via Mr. Rummelhof) that each Board member spoke with each candidate prior to the public interview meeting. I haven't heard the other 2 candidates confirm this, but I assume it is true.

We have already had two petitions (one for and one against MI) and now we have another. If having a petition is good for the goose, then it is also good for the gander. It strikes me that one day soon it will be petitions rather than elections that get action. The only difference I see in this is that in an election the votes are anonymous whereas a petition by definition has to have names and addresses open for public scrutiny.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 15, 2007 at 8:41 pm
I also meant to add to my above comment....
The other thing that a petition has over an election is that a petition can be signed by residents who are not citizens. An election has registered voters who must be citizens. Therefore in an area like Palo Alto where many of the residents may not be citizens, then petitions can be a useful tool to reflect the feelings of the people as a whole as those who sign a petition may not be able to vote in an election.

If the anti-MI crowd was out to get Grace Mah, they would be pushing the whole issue of who donated the money for the feasibility study/boondoggle, and how it may be playing a role in board members' decision to resurrect the choice vote.
a resident of Professorville
on Apr 17, 2007 at 9:08 pm
There is nothing to push. The district took the money with no strings attached and now has no recourse. (I do agree with the idea of transparency: there should be no anonymous donations for anything, whether stadium lights or feasibility studies. Another debate.)
As to whether or not they are out to get her, that is an interesting question.
a resident of Gunn High School
on Apr 17, 2007 at 10:37 pm
Yes, there SHOULD be anonymous donations if that's important to donors.
I don't like seeing my name/donations listed in the newspaper or online. I personally have donated amounts from $25 to $1000 to school and community groups, and once I see my name in print, especially with a dollar amount, I have to think about whether I will give to that organization again.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 18, 2007 at 7:32 am
When there is a single donation of $30000, with the anonymity of the donor fiercly protected, it makes one wonder what and who has that much interest in this district, and why? Many of us wanted to know who was funding the MI push. Still wondering...
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 18, 2007 at 11:15 am
I never like my name being used in a donation. Period. However, we must reveal who the donors are in political races, because it is a signal about who supports the candidate, and a clue to who might benefit.
And, I believe the same should be true for donations for programs/equipt etc that ARE NOT ALREADY DECIDED ON by the "authorities", whoever they may be. For policy decisions concerning tax funded programs, we must know who is trying to influence our policies.
Otherwise, to take it to its silly extreme, we end up with an anonymous donation by the the local Meat Packer's association to fund a study for determining if there should be more meat in the kids' lunches, or something. Would anybody trust the results if the conclusion was that the kids' lunches should have meat every day?
That is the critical difference in this never ending discussion about anonymous donations.

"I second Resident Donor: where there are strong questions of quid pro quo with government and public agencies, as there is here, donors cannot expect anonymity."
Someone can always raise questions in every case; no line can be drawn. We should abolish all anonymous donations
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

Don't be silly. If I make a large donation to The Carter Center, they aren't as a result going to force a public school system to spend $1.5 million to open a school on my behalf (and loudly proclaim it costs nothing). No problems with quid pro quo and public money.
How can the board legally keep the donors anonymous when the feasibility study was such a boondoggle? What was all that hullaballoo about council members not even taking a cup of coffee? Aren't board members subject to undue influence, and how can that be legal? Does the public have any recourse?
a resident of Meadow Park
on Apr 19, 2007 at 12:17 pm
I asked the question a while back, and will ask it again: What every happened to that man who kept standing up and telling the Board that he was making Freedom of Information Act requests for disclosure of the donors -- apparently there was a legal basis for requiring this -- and that in the face of that law the staff were still refusing to disclose the donors. He asked to Board to direct the staff to release the names and numbers in the interests of transaprency. To date, I haven't noticed any Board resolution on this issue, nor (clearly) have we ween the numbers and IDs. So is there a legal basis for refusing such a request or not?
a resident of Professorville
on Apr 19, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Your reply just underlines the problem.
YOU don't see an issue with anonymous donations in some cases (the carter center analogy doesn't make sense, so substitute some random example), but OTHERS would disagree. Many would say the MI feasibility study is good case where anonymity is fine. You disagree. That is why no donations should be anonymous: well-intentioned people can disagree about where the danger of impropriety lies.
There are no good reasons for anonymity in government.
I think someone from PACE once said the board does not have the names of individual donors. If that is right, then the board cannot provide what it does not have and it obviously cannot retroactively insist that PACE reveal its donors.

At first, I did not have much of an opinion about this issue. But after learning the extent to which a minority of people will go to just to exercise their own will, even after the PAUSD board reached a decision, has galvanized me to action. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Until ALL children in the PAUSD have a chance at learning a second language - especially beginning in the elementary grades - there is absolutely no excuse for a MI program. None!

I'm not here to incite wars and stuff. I've been thinking about the "MI" program a long time, and it brings up this question: why not teach Hebrew?
Heres the thing:
Mandarin/Chinese is taught at night at Jordan. Arabic is taught at Palo Alto Adult School. American Sign Language is taught as a regular class at Paly. Hebrew? Oh, you have to drive all the way to Cupertino once a week for 2 hours. Seeing as there are lots of Israelis and people who can benefit from Hebrew, why can't there be after-school-hours Hebrew taught in Palo Alto? So many people (myself included) have had very bad experiences from non-accredited foreign language teachers (forcing me to repeat Spanish 1). We looked into Hebrew, but it was too much of a hassle. Just my 2 cents.

"There are no good reasons for anonymity in government."
Parent - I was agreeing with you 100%, you misconstrued my message.
The Carter Center is a private charity, not a government program or agency. If you give to a private charity focused on humanitarian efforts like curing millions of poor people with curable diseases who can't get the cures otherwise (like the Carter Center does), it seems like that's a very different situation than giving money to government where public policy and the expenditure of public dollars is at stake. Clearly, we have the latter with the money given for the MI feasibility study.
If the board took the money without asking for the individual donors names (IF), they still took the money from PACE, a small group led by Grace Mah. How much of that money was hers anyway?

Marge thanked Grace for all her efforts for 'all our students'.
Marge's children must be in the 2% of PAUSD students that are going to be served by the MI drive?
Or perhaps Marge is from out of town and is giving thanks for installing a charter school in Palo Alto that Marge's kids will come to on Palo Alto tax payer dollar?
Otherwise, I'm not sure I understand what "all our students" means?
Marge - can you provide any more information on what Grace is doing for all our students? It could perhaps be helpful to share that with everyone. New info we haven't yet heard? Hot off the press? Please elaborate.
a resident of Jordan Middle School
on Apr 20, 2007 at 8:33 am
No my own chldren would not be affeced by the MI. It IS my belief that Grace Mah is a woman who believes that education is very important, and that spreading your wings to learn is important for everyone.
Andrea, I feel very sorry if you feel you have "lost" the good fight.
Perhaps it is time to move on, and let go of the anger.
I think that the Paly Student has a great idea. Somewhere in the district to learn Hebrew. After-hours, or adult education sounds good.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 20, 2007 at 9:00 am
So in other words Marge, you don't have an answer about how Grace has helped "all the students". And it's interesting to note that you advise those students who want to learn Hebrew to find an after hours or adult school. Hmm, that wasn't quite good enough for the MI folks, though. For them, beginning right from kindergarten is the only acceptable path.
But thanks anyway for you soothing words about moving on and letting go of anger.
a resident of Midtown
on Apr 20, 2007 at 9:18 am
Marge - there is no "fight" that's been lost. Just many (1000+) concerned parents (and majority of the BoE) who still believe putting MI into our schools right now, due to enrollment contraints, etc. (mentioned countless times on these threads)is the wrong desision.
And, many who wonder why Grace was chosen for a county board of education position when all she's shown us in PA is that's she's a 1 tick pony who will press for MI in PA to benefit a small fraction of district kids, no matter the cost to ALL our district's kids, or how many times the BoE says no.
Yes, in the end she may get her charter, but at what political cost to her? I believe that a charter school siphoning off funds from PAUSD won't go over well with parents who are asked constantly to give money to the district to support schools.
Do you know that PIE asks for $500/per kid per year? That's $1500 for my family. The parcel tax is another $400+ per year. We've donated over $500 to our school PTA this year alone. We've bought holiday wrapping paper, purchased supplies for schools, and participated countless fundraisers over the years. We are a two parent working family and frankly, I could use this money to give my kids music lessons every week instead of bi-monthly, which is what I can afford. My worry is that some of the 1000+ people who signed the petition against MI will have similar stories, only they may decide that the only way to be heard is by stopping their financial support of our schools.
How could they do that, you might ask? Well, money talks, when no one appears to be listening otherwise.
Grace may think that tenacity is a righteous quality, but I think that knowing when to stop, having the wisdom to let go and on move on to tackle the next issue, that is, if she is passionate about education in general, is what will garner my respect in this case.

In response to pa mom's post above:
"... she's [Grace Mah] shown us in PA is that's she's a 1 tick pony who will press for MI in PA to benefit"
Well a one tick pony running in the right direction would be more appropriate.
"Grace may think that tenacity is a righteous quality"
Don't we all do?
"Yes, in the end she may get her charter, but at what political cost to her?"
Remember she took the position of a person vacated by a person who took a presidential appointment. Grace Mah may be on the way there. She has the qualifications of having been to US top 10 universities (which we all dream of for our children) and she has shown tenacity.

Just what is wrong here? So many people, so much anger. Anger takes entirely too much energy. So, how about putting all that energy into something you really believe in. Something that will make your life better?
If you really are that unhappy about buying wrapping paper, candy, working in your child's classes and events, you don't have to. You live in a place where you have a choice. Make choices that will bring you more joy and satisfaction. Run for the BoE. Become the kind of teacher you wish your chidren had.
We have all had to make many decisions on our lives. For me, nothing has brought me more joy or satisfaction than being with my family. My husband, of course, but my kids too. I love helping in the class, driving their friends around, watching them become wonderful young adults is the best. I also loved teaching when I did that.
So, I think I will now bow out of all this, and leave it to the rest of you. Good luck to all of you, no matter which side you are on.

Can anyone advise how to get in touch with the groups that would like to see a more neutral party appointed to the county boe for the interim term? I would like to lend my support to that effort, but they do not seem to have a website. I would also like to ask the local boe why they would appoint a person with such controversial views to a position like this?

"I [am] using my body as a piece of material and manipulating it. I think of it as going into the studio and being involved in some activity. Sometimes it works out that the activity involves making something, and sometimes the activity itself is the piece."–Bruce Nauman
Emerging out of the Minimalist tradition in the mid-1960s, Nauman rejected its highly controlled and theorized aesthetics and engaged in art rooted in discovery. His introverted curiosity embodied a unique style of questioning. In a series of experiments, he performed various mundane and repetitive acts, such as walking around the perimeter of a square, throwing balls, applying makeup, and playing the violin.
Using his body as the medium and tool for these works, he emphasized the process of work or the presence of the body in the object. In one of his first "exercises" in his studio, Failing to Levitate in the Studio (1966), Nauman concentrates on levitating in space–if not actually defying gravity, at least maintaining a level posture while balancing himself between two chairs. In 1968, he produced the original First Hologram Series: Making Faces (a-k), 11 transmission holograms visible in three dimensions. In the screenprint studies, Nauman molds his face into a variety of exaggerated expressions, becoming not only the maker of art but its product.

Belk Library and Nerd Network are hosting a Humans vs Zombies gaming event. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to play! There will be food available at the beginning of the event. We suggest that you bring your own Nerf gun. The first 45 participants without a Nerf gun will be loaned either a six dart or a three dart Nerf blaster.
Humans vs Zombies is a game of tag. Most of the players begin as humans with the objective to evade the growing number of zombies and be the last human "alive."
Players wanting to do zombie makeup can arrive at 9:00 pm to be zombiefied!
Game Rules
Nerf Gun modifications are allowed, but due to safety reasons, no guns can be in neutral colors (grey, black, green, camo, etc.)

October is North Carolina Archives Month. This year's theme is "North Carolina at Play: Health and Leisure in Our State." In honor of this, we are highlighting our Camp Catawba Collection in an exhibit located in the Cratis Williams Reading Room on the fourth floor of the library.
Located near Blowing Rock North Carolina, Camp Catawba was an overnight summer camp for boys aged 6 to 12. It operated from 1944-1970 under the direction of Jewish-German poet and educator Vera Lachmann.
Camp Facilities included twenty acres and three buildings. Art, music, and drama were emphasized. Lachmann taught Greek myths and directed theatrical productions. Her partner, Tui St. George Tucker, provided musical instruction. Campers participated in an array of outdoor activities including horseback riding, swimming, and hiking.
This exhibit focuses on the camp's boys at play. It includes images of camp life and a map developed as part of a game. View the rest of the collection as well as our many other collections in the Dougherty Reading Room.
More information about Archives Month is available from the Society of North Carolina Archivists' website.

Area residents and fans of Sharyn McCrumb are invited to a book launch for her Christmas novella "Nora Bonesteel's Christmas Past" Oct. 6 at Appalachian State University. The event will feature readings and stories by the author and Charlotte Ross, the inspiration for the main character of Nora Bonestell. Book signing and reception immediately following.
For more information, call Lynn Patterson at 828-262-2087.
McCrumb is known for her Appalachian "Ballad" novels, including the New York Times best sellers "The Ballad of Tom Dooley," "The Ballad of Frankie Silver" and "Ghost Riders." Her Revolutionary War novel, "King's Mountain," was published in September 2013 by St. Martin's Press.
Ross, known as the "Legend Lady," has collected or composed more than 3,400 tales of legends and laughter from Appalachia. She has performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Corn Island Storytelling Festival, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina Storytelling Festival, The Great Aunt Stella Center, Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Ireland, and for the Smithsonian Institution Folklife Programs. She also has been a featured storyteller on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."
McCrumb's first-ever holiday novella brings back her most popular characters, Nora Bonesteel and Spencer Arrowood, in a heartwarming story of a ghost of Christmas past and a felon of Christmas present. The book finds Nora happy to see some life brought back to the old Honeycutt mansion, even if it is by "summer people." But when her new neighbors decide to stay through Christmas, they find more than old memories in the walls.
The New York Times Book Review wrote, "Ms. McCrumb writes with quiet fire and maybe a little mountain magic....She plucks the mysteries from people's lives and works these dark narrative threads into Appalachian legends older than the hills. Like every true storyteller, she has the Sight."

"If you see a lady getting hit by a man, walk away. If you see a man getting hit on by a lady, walk away. If you get involved a fight will break out and the cops will throw YOU in jail."
That was item No. 2 on the four-strong list of must-know information passed on by an Austin cab driver. It's the sort of conversation that would be in keeping with my baseless knowledge hitherto of Texas, but this is Austin. A blue city in a red state.
Friendly as you like.
Just as well, as along with Sam (Wicks, editor of Volume) this will be our home for the next week, to bring you as much information as possible from the South By Southwest (SXSW) music festival.
SXSW is actually three festivals: Interactive, film and music. They all slightly overlap by a couple of days - any city would struggle to host 47,000 registrants all at once.
Actually, calling them festivals is misleading. They're more conferences, with a trade show, product launches, panel discussions, showcases, as well as a mix of official and non-official parties.
Arriving in Austin a couple of days out from the start of the music - to orientate and get set up - meant I caught a couple of the Film Festival events.
I got to experience my first ever proper red carpet, and I got to talk to a Hollywood actress by the name of Anna Hutchison. Imagine Delphi Greenlaw from Shortland Street but without the dark mullet hair style.
Anyway, turns out Anna is doing rather well for herself. Her film Cabin In The Woods opened the Film Festival. Last year Bridesmaids took that spot.
The film is produced by Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and directed by Drew Goddard (writer of Cloverfield and co-writer on Lost). I also knew it was a big deal because as we were setting up for the interview in Hutchison's hotel lobby Jonah Hill walked past, pretending not to recognise me.
For lots of giggling and a taste of that American accent - click here.
My first ever proper red-carpet wasn't even for a film after all. But then most television that comes out of HBO rivals film anyway. This new show is Girls, created by Lena Dunham who also wrote and directed Tiny Furniture - a film that also takes a dry humorous look at the foibles of being a young woman in New York City. That young woman pretty much being Lena Dunham.
I "checked in" to the Paramount Theatre about an hour and a half before anyone was due on the red carpet and proceeded to do nothing while others stood around, also doing nothing.
The sponsor wall was erected before my eyes and a tiny little red carpet rolled out. My concern at the length of the red carpet, divided by the amount of crews that were turning up came to a head when a publicist started attaching place cards to the barrier rope. They were A4 pieces of paper so close they may as well have been a pad.
We took our places as best we could, considering we all had tripods, equipment and egos, and then the publicist had a change of heart and started shuffling the place cards around. We all packed up and moved. And again. And again. It was like a press version of musical chairs, except with no music and no chairs.
Finally the time came. Executive Producer Judd Apatow, creator Lena Denham and Executive Producer Jenni Konner all filed past and politely answered my questions.
Judd Apatow even commented that I was the only press on the carpet with proper lighting (can someone at work please make sure the accounts department gets told).
I saw first-hand how publicists gently tap you on the arm, or stand behind the talent and do the wind-up signal. And I met Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Bridesmaids, 40 Year Old Virgin, The Larry Sanders Show, Freaks and Geeks, etc, etc).
But I'm here for the music, with Cairo Knife Fight, Electric Wire Hustle, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Kimbra, King Kapisi and Avalanche City all in attendance.
Better go get ready. If I could just get this BBQ brisket out of my teeth...

Finally an Audi Sedan to really like! Looks excellent, and finally a slight change from the usual Audiness!Evolutionary is good.But now that the 8 has the R8 headlights, they will need something more... revolutionary. It feels a tad desperate and like Audi has few tricks left up its sleeve.

It's beautiful, but it's only a rendering.

It's a very nice evolution of the current A8, which is my favorite Audi aside from the A5/S5. Hopefully the rendering is close to the production model.
I looks like a rendering but it doesn't look far off from what the production model might be.
Well, if this rendering is what the final product will look like, all I ahve to say is, THIS IS THE FIRST ORIGINAL AUDI SINCE A WHOLE DECADE!!! YAY!!!!

I like it over all but that grill, DAMN its way too large

Yeah, I could see it was a rendering as soon as I looked at the rear.Wishful thinking maybe?
WOW. I like that A LOT. I am very impressed. Looks surprisingly mean... would love to see it in black.
Audi needs to back away from the CAD programs and use these programs as tools not as the basis for their designs. Looks too 'computerized' and lacks the warmth of human designs. I think other car companies have a much better balance in their designs.
=================================No, Brian, it's a foreign car, the "T" is silent. Sweet, I'm getting an Audi!
That looks sexy. It's about damn time they redesigned the A8. The last gen has gone virtually unchanged for years.
