MIREES is an innovative graduate programme, taught entirely in English , unique in Italy and Europe, devoted to students that have a BA background in Economics, Politics, International Relations, History, Agricultural or Cultural studies at large, and would now like to acquire a specialized, in-depth knowledge of the Post-socialist Countries in transition, the new EU member States after the Enlargements of 2004 and 2007, as well as the New East-European Neighbour Countries.
MIREES combines an academic approach with professional training, forging potential insightful consultants, analysts, and managers as Area Experts for international agencies, public administrations, private and public companies, and NGOs, while also offering a solid basis for further academic studies at the PhD level.
In order to be accepted to the MIREES program, applicantsmust possess a BA Degree or any equivalent title obtained abroad, legallyrecognized, in one of the following fields of study: law, economics, politics,social science , geo-politics, demography, gender studies, psychology,anthropology, history, philosophy, literature, foreign languages, culturalstudies, agriculture science.
To fully benefit from the Master's inInterdisciplinary Research and Studies on Eastern Europe, thefollowing skills are required:
· agood knowledge of English language of at least level B2 in the Common EuropeanFramework of Reference (equivalent to TOEFL computer-based 213 points orTOEFL paper-based 550 points or TOEFL Internet-based 79 points; IELTS 6.0points or FCE B, or a B2 level certificate awarded by a University language center);
· basicIT skills;
· appropriateindividual culture based on solid knowledge in at least one of the followingfields: law, economics, politics, sociology, geo-politics, demography, genderstudies, psychology, anthropology, history, philosophy, literature, foreignlanguages, cultural studies, European and international agriculture science, aswell as a good knowledge of European and international economic and politicalcurrent affairs, which is usually provided by a Degree (BA).
Admittance to MIREES is based on an assessmentof the student's level of knowledge in the above-mentioned fields by anInternational Commission representing all partner Universities. The assessment isbased on conditions and procedures as indicated in the call for applications onthe basis of a set of criteria (e.g. assessment of degree, graduation mark andaverage of the study career grades, curriculum vitae, academic and non-academicworking experiences, personal motivations, endorsement letters, interview). Theseadmission criteria are established on a yearly basis by the MIREES IAB,confirmed by the Faculty Board of the Degree Program and published on the MIREES web page.
Lacking the appropriate documentation related to the abovementioned degree and qualifications, the admittance to MIREES is subject to a preliminary assessment by the IAB, which verifies whetherthe applicant possesses the required knowledge and competencies, if necessary,by means of an oral interview.
The international Master of ArtsMIREES is a Second cycle JointDegree (120 ECTS), jointly awarded by the School ofPolitical Sciences of the University of Bologna - Forlì Campus, VytautasMagnus University at Kaunas; Corvinus University of Budapest; Saint-PetersburgState University. MIREES is an innovative graduate program, taught entirely in English , unique in Italy and Europe, devoted to students thathave a BA background in Economics, Politics, International Relations, History,Agricultural or Cultural studies at large.
MIREES main characteristics are based on (1) an international Faculty(provided by partnership); (2) an international students' environment (providedby an internationally wide students' enrollment); (3) a compulsory students'mobility within the partnership; (4) a strong research component; (5) languageskills; (6) interdisciplinarity; (7) a wide and intensive methodology aimed toencourage active participation and to provide organizational, analytical, multifunctional,cross-cultural mindset skills and empathy towards the geopolitical Area ofspecialization.
Indeed, the main educational goals of MIREES Program are inspired by acomprehensive rationale, marked by the following:
Providing aspecialized, in-depth regional knowledge of the Post-socialist Countries intransition, the new EU member States after the Enlargements of 2004 and 2007,as well as the New East-European Neighbor Countries;
Encouraging an interdisciplinary approach, able to encompass economic, social, politicaland cultural studies and understand their interaction and interdependency;
Invigorating analytical skills with language expertise and transnational mobility,in order to get access to primary sources, strengthen the empathic approach tothe area of studies and diversities on the basis of the 1996 UNESCO report "Learning the Treasure Within" and itsfour pillars of education applied to MIREES peculiarities (i.e. Learning to know: the Area studies; Learning to do: analytical, research,organizational and other skills as reported in the above boxes; Learning to Live Together: thanks tomobility, international environment and cross-cultural communication; Learning to Be: building a strong senseof social responsibility to public and common goals in terms of trust,knowledge and cooperation).
Equipping thestudents with multifunctional abilities through an educational 2-years program,whose disciplinary learning goals are expended by a set of proficiencies interms of work organization, respect of deadlines, multiple obligations tofulfill, dynamic life experiences, transnational and cross- cultural commitments andchallenges.
Thanks to these comprehensive learning goals, MIREES combines anacademic approach with professional training, forging potential insightfulconsultants, analysts, and managers as Area Experts for international agencies,public administrations, Ministries and EU institutions, private and publiccompanies, NGOs, and Research and Study Centers, while also offering a solidbasis for further academic studies at the PhD level.
Students are expected to attend the first semester ofthe second year in one of the following partner Universities for at least 5-6months: Vytautas Magnus University at Kaunas, Corvinus University of Budapest,Saint Petersburg State University. The student mobility can be carried outalso at an associated partner University, on the basis of separate specificagreements, including the Universities of Ljubljana, Belgrade, Marmara and NewBulgarian.
The mobility is an integral part of the studentteaching program and is aimed at carrying out educational activities in orderto fulfill the required number of University credits as well as the researchactivities related to the master's thesis.
Living and studying for a semester in a MIREES PartnerUniversity allow students to combine knowledge, fieldwork, and concrete experience on the ground. In addition,they will become aware of the importance of learning different languages (evenless used or taught languages) and perspectives in order to get access to localprimary sources, to become more open minded and tolerant in the context ofmultilingual and multicultural Europe, to acquire an insightful empathy towardsthe Area for his/her own interest. As a result, they will be better prepared inmanaging differences, cross-cultural communication, transnational interactionas well as in rooting a sense of co-ownership of the process of Europeanintegration.
Therefore, as soon asthe 1st and 2nd term are spent in Italy, where in any case the Faculty isinternational and provided by the partner Universities, MIREES students canexperience their mobility and attend courses in the 3rd semester in anotheracademic institutions after the period of study in Italy.
The selection of the University partner forthe mobility period is to be negotiated with the MIREES International AcademicBoard (IAB) on the basis of the following:
The teaching plan and the thesis project
The student's skills developed during thefirst year of study in Forlì and motivation (including language skills)
The number of available exchange placesoffered by the hosting University.
MIREES mobility is provided by theLLP/Erasmus, by the Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window and by theMIREES Mobility Scheme (MMS, for European countries or students who are noteligible to the LLP/Erasmus scholarships) or by any other bilateralagreement with the University of Bologna.
Exceptions might be considered by the IAB andinvolve the Associate partners' Universities.
One of the main peculiarities of MIREES program is its research component.Particularly, students are strongly encouraged to improve their research anddata processing skills by collecting essential sources for their thesis work inthe geo-political field as well as in the selected disciplinary field throughfieldworks. This is one of the main task of their mobility experience in one ofthe Partner Universities during the 3rd semester. In other words, students areexpected to take benefit from their mobility by deepening their knowledge whilevisiting their geopolitical area of specialization, and by doing fieldworkresearch. Moreover, in order to strengthen the research dimension, a compulsorymethodological seminar is foreseen during the second year (between February andMarch), when students are expected to present a work-in-progress of theirthesis research, including research questions, bibliography, and one chapter toan international Commission of Mirees professors. These work-in-progressseminars take place in the Universities were students spend their mobility andin Forlì, for those who are spending the mobility in Associated Universities.Furthermore, during the second year, students are warmly invited to apply toapply and submit paper proposals to international convention: if included inpanels they can compete for a MIREES grant.
The 4th semester, when no teaching activity isscheduled, is completely devoted to the thesis writing and implementation.
Finally, during the whole academic year and for thepurpose of expanding its range of cultural activities, MIREES organizes orpromotes together with other subjects, many extra-curricular activities (inparticular conferences, seminars, workshops, book presentations, cinema events,summer schools) on topics relating to the challenges of modern society inpolitical, historical, economic and sociological thought concerning the Eastwardenlargement of EU, relationships with new neighbors and the changes takingplace in Central, Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

Notwithstanding a weak leadership, the troubles on the Telangana front and the threat from the YSR Congress party led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, the ruling Congress party fared well in the just concluded polls for co-operative societies in Andhra Pradesh.
Though the elections were held on a non-party basis, Congress-affiliated candidates trumped the list by winning 454 primary agricultural cooperative societies out of the 955 in the first phase of elections.
The TDP trailed Congress by winning 276 whereas the YSRCP managed 163 cooperatives in the elections — a precursor to the 2014 general elections that reflect the reality at the grassroots level.
The result was quite a dampener for the Telangana-centric TRS party, which suffered rout in some of its strongholds and managed to secure only 60 cooperatives.
A happy, state Congress president Botsa Satyanarayana said farmers had reposed faith in the Central and state governments.
But the TDP and YSRC alleged irregularities and misuse of power by the ruling party.

4 months ago I had a bilateral Otoplasty to correct my prominent ears. My surgeon used the Mustarde technique with dissolvable sutures. My ears initially healed well, but several months on, both ears relapsed to their pre-op state. My surgeon says that as the sutures dissolved, the ears have subsequently relapsed. He has suggested a revision using permanent sutures. There seems to be some debate over the use of permanent vs dissolvable sutures? What are the risks/benefits for each?...
Otoplasty - Dissolvable Vs Permanent Sutures
Doctor Answers 12
Structural Sutures with Otoplasty Surgery
A variety of surgical techniques are utilized to correct prominent ears. Many of these techniques utilize structural sutures to maintain the shape of the newly formed ear.
When structural sutures are utilized, they must provide stability until the wounds have healed adequately. This may take several months because the ear cartilage has memory and wants to return to its original position. For this reason, recurrence of prominent ears is a major complication of setback otoplasty.
The procedure can be performed with permanent or absorbable sutures, but because of the potential for recurrence, we always use non absorbable permanent sutures.
Recurrance of prominent ears after otoplasty
Dear Otoplasty patient from Sydney,
One the most common complications associated with Otoplasty in adults is recurrence of the prominent ears. It also depends if any conchal cartilage was reseceted or not. I personally use permanent sutures and remove conchal cartilage for adults to prevent recurrence.
Web reference: http://www.orangecountyfacialplasticsurgeon.com/
Otoplasty suture material
Generally I think it is a good idea to use permanent suture suture performing otoplasty surgery. Otherwise, I think you're risking an increased chance of recurrence of the prominent ears. The potential downsides of permanent suture ( including palpability, infection, extrusion and potential need for removal) are outweighed by the advantages of a permanent setback of the ears.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_ear.htm

Otoplasty; recurrence four months after procedure
I am sorry you are having trouble with your ears after your surgery.
As the other surgeons have said, I routinely use permanent sutures for otoplasty. I am concerned that dissolvable suture would not hold over time.
I also usually score the anterior aspect of the cartilage. this weakens the front side of the cartilage allowing it to curl backwards to a more natural position. With the use of permanent sutures and anterior scoring, my recurrence rate is low, but not zero. I also usually instruct on the wearing of a head band for about 4 weeks postop. I think this also helps prevent recurrence.
I assume your surgeon is not charging you a fee for his services, but you may get a charge from anesthesia and the OR.
Good Luck!
Permanent sutures for otoplasty
I always use permanent sutures for otoplasty. Yes, they may become infected, but this is not common if done properly. In some cases the cartilage may be weakened at the time of surgery and you might get lucky with resorbable sutures, but I would not want to take a chance. Donald R Nunn MD, DDS Plastic Surgeon
Recurrence of prominent ears at 4 months following an otoplasty
Total recurrence of your ear deformities, on both sides and in 4 months is not acceptable and may very well be related to the usage of absorbable sutures and even which type was used as some will not last nearly as long as others.
My recommendation is for permanent sutures as other plastic surgeons have stated. This largely precludes the situation that you are dealing with now.
Good luck!
Web reference: http://www.turkeltaub.com
Otoplasty Options
Otoplasty is a procedure to correct deformities of the ear. Most of the time, otoplasty is done to make the ears less protruding. The two most common maneuvers for this are Mustarde sutures and conchal setback, and there are several more as well. The effect of Mustarde sutures are to recreate a fold in the ear that is normally there. In performing this procedure 2 mistakes are commonly made:
(1) Ear cartilage has memory--it wants to keep its shape. In order to make a fold in the cartilage, the cartilage needs to be bent. To allow the cartilage to bend, the cartilage is "scored," meaning it is weakened with a series of small scrapes. This takes out some of the memory of the cartilage. However, if the scoring is too aggressive, the cartilage becomes too weak and will buckle, making an unnatural appearing sharp fold. For this reason, many surgeons are too conservative with scoring, and the cartilage will bounce back to its original shape with time.
(2) If placed correctly, permanent sutures are perfectly safe. The typical suture used is a clear, fine, nonabsorbable suture (nylon). Resorbable sutures are not necessary and do not prevent complications. Rather, they provide an opportunity for the cartilage to bounce back once the suture has dissolved.
Otoplasty (Ear Pinning) Surgery - Dissolvable Vs Permanent Sutures
Regarding : "Otoplasty - Dissolvable Vs Permanent Sutures
4 months ago I had a bilateral Otoplasty to correct my prominent ears. My surgeon used the Mustarde technique with dissolvable sutures. My ears initially healed well, but several months on, both ears relapsed to their pre-op state. My surgeon says that as the sutures dissolved, the ears have subsequently relapsed. He has suggested a revision using permanent sutures. There seems to be some debate over the use of permanent vs dissolvable sutures? What are the risks/benefits for each?..."
Although ears share the same common characteristics they are actually different and differ not only from side to side but much more widely between different people. There are several Ear Pinning (Otoplasty) techniques each named after a known ear surgeon who described it (Senstrom, Mustarde, Davis, Furnas) etc. Most of us combine and modify techniques, as needed, for each patient's particular needs.
I prefer using clear permanent stitches. Unless the spring of the cartilage is weakened (with a modified Senstrom for example), using dissolving stitches to shape the cartilage is essentially betting that the scar tissue that forms after surgery is strong enough to splint and resist the cartilage forces which want to assume the former more open less curved shape. I prefer more "insurance". I accept the very low risk of clear nylon sutures of becoming infected or being extruded to 100% certainty that dissolving sutures would be gone and that my ear correction would be solely dependent on surrounding scar tissue. Therefore in MY opinion, mild weakening of the cartilage springiness (?verb) by careful anterior weakening supplemented by a Mustarde technique with permanent stitches has worked very well.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Ottoplasty Involves many steps, weakening the cartilage(aberading). sutures and some times removal of an elipse of conchal caretillage.
Both permanent and absorbable sutures are used. I use permanent sutures to prevent recurrence.
In my opinion the chances of recurrence are high in adults irrespective of type of suture material. The cartilage has memory and tends to unfurl back unless the cartilage is incised and rolled over to form a stable antihelical fold. In my experience this has reduced the chances of recurrence.

On Tuesday, October 1,
2013 the IUP Communications Office will be working with 7 Line Media to get video
of the university for advertising and other informational videos about the
university. Part of the footage will be shot by a video camera on a
remote control helicopter. The helicopter is about 24 inches in circumference
at its widest point. It has been used on many university campuses and
locations, including Heinz Field and areas with large populations, with no
safety issues.
We do not anticipate
significant noise or any disruption to pedestrians or to classes during this
time, but we wanted to inform the campus about this project in case of concerns
about "unidentified flying objects" overhead!

Education / Careers
California Licensure Requirements
To obtain a license to practice acupuncture in the State of California, practitioners must complete the educational requirements established by the California Acupuncture Board (CAB) and pass a written examination administered by the CAB. There are three ways to fulfill the CAB educational requirements and qualify to sit for the licensure examination:
There are currently 30 educational institutions and programs approved by the CAB (16 within California and 14 in other states). A list of CAB-approved educational institutions may be found on the California Acupuncture Board website.
The State of California does not recognize out-of-state licensing for practice within California.
Requirements for Licensure in Other States
The requirements for licensure in other states vary by state. The scope of practice for Oriental medical practitioners also varies considerably by state. To determine the specific requirements and scope for another state, you should contact the licensing authority in that state.
Seven states (Alabama, Delaware, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wyoming) lack legislation or regulation allowing for the practice of acupuncture by licensed, registered, or certified acupuncturists.
Doctorate Programs
The California Acupuncture Board (CAB) does not regulate or approve doctorate programs in Oriental medicine.
A number of post-graduate doctorate programs in acupuncture and Oriental medicine do exist. Although many of these doctorate programs are candidates for professional accreditation, there are no national accrediting agencies currently recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
Applicants for doctorate programs should inquire with individual educational institutions to determine their current accreditation status.

Tips for keeping campfires safe from a Loyola University Health System burn surgeon
MAYWOOD, Ill. (April 3) – With this chilly start to spring, many families are breaking out their fire pits or starting bonfires to recover from cabin fever and start enjoying the outdoors. Although fire pits and campfires are a great way to connect with friends and family, they also can be dangerous.
"Campfires and fire pits are great places to relax, but someone should always be paying attention to the fire. Fires can be unpredictable and burn injuries can happen quickly," said Anthony Baldea, MD, assistant professor in the Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Burns at Loyola University Health System.
Baldea said that caution should start from the moment a person begins to build a fire and especially when igniting it. This includes clearing away all flammable ground material such as leaves. It's also important to ensure the fire is in a wide, open area away from enclosed spaces and trees. Also, the person starting the fire should wear protective gear, including nonflammable clothing, gloves and possibly a shield for the face.
"People often use gas or lighter fluid to get the fire going and that is extremely dangerous because these are unpredictable. Make sure you use an appropriate method to start the fire. Also, patience is important. If the flame doesn't ignite right away, wait a few minutes. If reigniting, use caution and get everyone who is not in protective gear as far away as possible," Baldea said.
Trips and falls are another common cause of burn injury, especially in children. To keep children and others safe, Baldea suggested creating a safety circle of 10 feet or more around the fire that should not be crossed. If possible, put a gate or other barrier around the fire to help limit injuries if someone should trip.
"Kids get excited about being outside and playing. Parents need to be vigilant and keep an eye on their kids. They should make sure children are not playing near the fire and help them when making campfire snacks like s'mores," Baldea said. "Alcohol and fire don't mix. Keep alcohol away from the flame and it's safest not to drink at all when near an open flame as it can cloud judgment."
Although roasting marshmallows is often a campfire highlight, they can cause serious injury. Baldea said the stick or roasting prong used to cook the marshmallow should be long enough that you don't feel the heat of the flame while roasting it.
"Often marshmallows catch fire and our instinct is to blow it out. Don't use your own breath to put out the fire; this can lead to burns on the face and hands. Instead, drop it to the ground and stamp it out. It's best to sacrifice the marshmallows for your skin," Baldea said.
If someone catches fire, remember to stop, drop and roll and call 911. Do the following until help arrives:
- Stop the fire
- Prevent injury from getting worse by removing the source and any clothing that may be on fire
- Put a dry dressing on the wound to stop heat loss; this will also assist in pain control

Does lightning ever strike twice in the legal world? Those who practise in the field of professional negligence are looking at the skies and scratching their heads about this very question.
No one who profited from the increase in professional negligence work as a result of the recession at the beginning of the 1990s can forget the flood of litigation that washed over. In the wake of property market and corporate collapses, banks and secondary lenders found themselves in possession of a considerable stock of residential and commercial property and venture capitalists and purchasers found themselves holding shares in companies that had entered into liquidation. Within a short period of time the property and shares lost a significant part, or all, of their purported value. As is now common in our litigious society, the cry went up that someone had to be at fault for the enormous financial losses being incurred. The usual suspect was targeted – the holder of the professional indemnity policy. Valuers, solicitors and accountants were fair game.
At the outset, when valuations, reports on title and accounts were examined, certain cases stood out. What commenced as suspicions of negligence were converted into convictions of fraud. Unscrupulous borrowers and directors had combined with like-minded or at least unquestioning professionals to create dishonest applications, accounts and other documents required for the perpetration of fraud.
Once the obvious frauds had been identified, all transactions were subjected to detailed reviews in order to identify whether any blame could be attributed to a professional. It was discovered that some valuers had failed to research or pay heed to the value of appropriate comparable properties or had valued properties in areas with which they were unfamiliar. Lax practices were uncovered in solicitors' offices. Information was not properly assessed or reported to the lenders. Tens of thousands of claims were issued and the professional indemnity insurers paid out billions of pounds.
However, the professionals were not the only parties who failed to exercise reasonable skill and care. Some lenders, eager to capture market share and to lend money in an expanding market, had ignored usual loan-to-value ratios. They had acted without proper investigation as to the ability of borrowers to repay and on unheard-of income multiples.
The unprecedented boom in professional negligence litigation led to some significant reconsideration of the law that had far wider repercussions. In South Australia Asset Management Co v York Montague, the Lords took the opportunity to establish a new test for damages payable by a professional. The law's focus on identifying a cause of a loss had led judges to conclude that a negligent valuer or solicitor was responsible for all loss incurred by a lender entering into a transaction. Losses included those resulting from a general drop in values in the property market. The House of Lords decided that the correct test was to consider the scope of the duty owed in the particular case. Somebody whose duty was to provide information was only responsible for the foreseeable consequences of the information being wrong. The adviser, whose duty it was to advise as to what course of action to take, incurred a wider liability for the foreseeable consequences of the course of action being taken. In cases concerning auditor's negligence, there were also a number of leading cases concerning the extent to which duties of care could be owed to those who had not retained the auditor and causation. It seemed that much of what was new in commercial law was being developed in professional negligence.
Since the end of the 1990s, the level of professional negligence work has been steady, but not spectacular. However, there are now signs that the economic conditions which led to the boom in such work a decade ago are repeating themselves. There has been a period of rapid growth in the economy, company profits, takeover activity, share prices, property values and lending. The growth has now disappeared and been replaced by decline. When the economy is retracting and losses are being incurred, the professionals will again come under scrutiny. History and recent evidence, such as the Enron and other similar auditing scandals, suggest that there will be no shortage of candidates for defendants.
Does lightning ever strike twice in the legal world? Those who practise in the field of professional negligence are looking at the skies and scratching their heads about this very question.

Personal Pathways
In the southeastern region of Africa, there are many populations whose ancestors have preserved these lands for millennia. Their arts are rich, complex, and deeply rooted in enduring values.
There are no masks in this part of Africa, and no public shrines to ancient deities. The works of art presented here are intensely personal. They were created in the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries for specific individuals, marking singular occasions in their lives. In time, each object came to represent the spirit of the individual for whom it was made. After the owner's death, these private possessions became the focus of commemorative prayers and requests for guidance.
Generations of such homage have increased each artwork's veneration. Categories such as "high art", "crafts", and "folk art" are meaningless here. In this region, a single word can mean both "beautiful" and "morally effective", and everyday objects are saturated with symbolic resonance. The key to comprehending their beauty is to grasp the complex interaction of intensely personal and ancestral significance that they represent.
With this installation, the Museum celebrates the anniversary of the transfer of the collections of the Sana Art Foundation to the Museum. In July 2009, this collection of more than 900 works of art from Africa, the Pacific Islands, and the Native Americas moved from its home of several years in Escondido to the Museum.
Founded by Museum supporters Edward and Mina Smith, the Sana Art Foundation Collection was created to inspire education, awareness, and access to art from the cultural regions of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The San Diego Museum of Art shares in this mission, and it is in this spirit of diversity and cultural history that we welcome you.

Town Square
Candidates at the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce
Original post made by Stacey, Amberwood/Wood Meadows, on Sep 19, 2008
Mayoral and Council candidates appeared at a breakfast forum hosted by the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday.
The article reports:
"Hosterman said one of her goals is the completion of Highway 84, which would ease traffic in the city. Brozosky said he would shift more manpower from the city's Planning Department to traffic to handle congestion."
Firstly, it is frustrating to watch the City wait on external forces to solve our traffic problems. That is the strategy that both Sullivan and Hosterman seem to favor. It is like taking a gamble that we'll wait and see if the outside improvements help our traffic and if so, maybe we can get away with not doing city infrastructure improvements. Neely appears to understand this frustration. What ever happened to Stop Pleasanton Gridlock?
Secondly, I don't understand Brozosky's proposal. How can one "shift manpower" when the skill set of people working in the Planning Department different from the skill set of those working in Traffic? Is Brozosky suggesting to fire and hire? What are these newly hired traffic people going to do? Also, isn't this kind of "shifting" a function of the City Manager and not that of Mayor? I'd hate to have a Mayor that starts second guessing the City Manager.

What? Haven't you heard Hosterman refer many, many times to "her staff?" She makes it sound like staff including city manager report only to her! That attitude really bugs me cause I thought they worked for all of us, not 'Her Highness.'
a resident of Foothill Knolls

City council gives direction to the City Manager. I support our city staff but I do not want our city council to be rubber stamps. The CC should take the pulse of the community and give appropriate direction to the City Manager.
As we reach build out it is reasonable to downsize the planning department. As people in planning leave or retire those positions should not be rehired.
It seems to me Brozosky is using sound reasoning as usual.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Sep 20, 2008 at 12:44 pm
If it was such sound reasoning, why mention the Planning Department when the question asked was regarding traffic?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Sep 20, 2008 at 2:59 pm
The mayor and council set priorities for the city and then the City Manager puts the appropriate resources in place to address the priorities. If traffic congestion is a higher priority then the city manager will put more manpower in traffic to handle the situation.
I would guess mentioning the Planning Department is to demonstrate where resources can be reallocated through attrition.
a resident of Pleasanton Heights
on Sep 20, 2008 at 9:54 pm
At issue here in this thread is Brozosky's statement, which the article states is:
Brozosky said he would shift more manpower from the city's Planning Department to traffic to handle congestion."
What the heck does this mean? First of all, the Traffic Engineer reports in the Public Works Department. What does the Planning Department have to do directly with city traffic, or even regional traffic? (Quote from the city website: The Traffic Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for planning and operating the roadways, sidewalks, and bikeways in the City to provide for the safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services within Pleasanton.)
Furthermore, since the people in these departments take their marching orders from their bosses, who don't report directly and solely to Brozosky, how does he purport to execute his wrongly directed directive?
This kind of statement, if accurately reported, calls into question what real executive experience does Brozosky really have? And does he understand what department has what control over what aspect of city governance for which he wishes to directly issue executive orders?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Sep 21, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Your questions call into question your usually good logic. I think the above posts answered your questions already.
"City council gives direction to the City Manager."
"resources can be reallocated through attrition."
It makes sense to me.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 21, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Frank, You bring up a very good point regarding what Brozosky's actual experience in running companies is. I also have heard him use his experience angle in running his company as a key to why he would be a good mayor. Upon thinking about it Steve's own company that he started is or was a very small company by comparison to running the city. I believe it had very few employee's (less than 20 I'm pretty sure). I believe he has been a software developer (engineer) in his past as well, but he has _never_ run company of any size.
Also, Steve has been asked for example how well he works with staff at the city and he has answered "very well" and I like to let people do thier jobs and get out of thier way, but I've also heard feedback that staff feel he actually micro-manages. I'm hearing from many people in the know that Steve is actually the exact opposite in real life to how he is trying to portray himself.
a resident of Amador Estates
on Sep 21, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Steve's goal in working with the staff is to make himself look good at the expense of making the staff look stupid. He is not exactly popular with the staff. If he wins, we can expect several key staff members to leave either by retiring or finding a job at another municipality. A true leader will get results using resources and by being a team player not by taking credit for everything regardless of whether of not others were involved!! Steve still hasn't learned this yet.
a resident of California Reflections
on Sep 21, 2008 at 10:10 pm
GP and IWTT are laughable when comparing Hosterman and Brozosky.
Hosterman has never run a business (I will resist mentioning she has failed the Bar exam 5X) and lords over the staff and is verbally abusive to citizens. Hosterman is the master of taking credit.
The staff can't stand her but they are not walking away from their jobs with great benefits.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 22, 2008 at 8:50 am
Why would you put I will resist mentioning, the mention? I never compared Jenniifer's business experience to Steve's, but simply made an observation that Steve continues to state his business experience in "running a company" is what will allow him to do a good job as major (please re-read my post). The observation was that Steve has only run a very small company.
What Jennifer now does have as a result of her direct experience is knowledge of how things work and perspective as mayor. It is very easy walking into a new environment to say what you'll do differently.
Personally I believe this is a decision of the lesser of 2 evils (kind of like the Presidential race), and Jennifer at least has practical experience and has shown the apptitude to learn from her experiences.
a resident of Amador Estates
on Sep 22, 2008 at 6:33 pm
AF, funny but I never mentioned the Mayor. I was basing my comments from observations of staff at meetings as well as comments inferred by staff in discussions.
I'm making comments based on what I've seen. Why would you immediately state my comments are laughable when comparing Hosterman to Brozosky since I didn't do that? Based on that I find your comments strictly politically motivated and not relevant.
Also, Steve has been publicly verbslly abusive to the City Council during comments he's made at City Council meetings. Is that an indication of how he'll treat citizens when he doesn't agree with their position?
a resident of California Reflections
on Sep 22, 2008 at 7:27 pm
This thread implys the comparison of Hosterman and Brozosky.
"Why would you put I will resist mentioning, then mention?" I was being cheeky.
I think Steve has a very good business sense.
There is a record of blistering correspondence where our Mayor spoke very inappropriately to and about citizens. She has been terrible to people at the podium. I have never seen or heard Steve behave disrespectfully and I don't believe you can support your claim.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 23, 2008 at 9:09 am
Your quote "I think Steve has a very good business sense".
I don't think you can support your claim (and I'm _not_ being cheeky).
Try giving some fact or facts that support what a good businessman Steve is, I'd love to hear them.
As was stated, Steve's remarks happended at City Council meetings. It is not difficult to support.
a resident of Pleasanton Heights
on Sep 23, 2008 at 11:36 pm
City council gives direction to City Manager is not an answer. (response to Huh). A single councilman or the mayor does not comprise the will of the whole committee (council), so tell me how this works so that only one of them gets to direct the City Manager. Wherein lies the stupidity of thinking a single member is the direct boss of the City Manager. Additionally, the traffic department deals with traffic, the planning department does not. So, how does the council tell the City Manager to somehow swap responsibilities between the two departments to effect Brozosky's wishes, if he were to ever get back in office?
Bottomline: Brozosky probably mis-spoke because he's really not a manager.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 24, 2008 at 7:50 am
I was there Frank and he didn't mis-speak, in fact he repeated this several times. He seemed to believe he could really put traffic resources in the planning dept. He wasn't talking about reduction in one area (firing) and increase in the other (hiring), as he was asked to clarify and stated he would simply "move those resources".
I keep hearing Steve talk about his business experiences, but it (his experience) certainly dosen't come accross positively in his discussions.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Sep 24, 2008 at 8:23 am
Interesting! Will there be retraining offered then for the planning dept staff who will be moved to traffic? How much will that cost?
There is an assumption that someone with business experience is going to do great in government. Government is not business.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 24, 2008 at 8:59 am
Verify is deliberately misrepresenting ( I wonder who would have reason to do so?).
I saw the meeting on the replay and both candidates where asked directly how they would mitigate traffic as Mayor. Brozosky gave the only answer with meaning, he did not suggest firing. He suggested it would make sense to reallocate resources as the planning department has less responsibility nearing buildout. I don't remember the wording but it was a thoughtful response to a direct question.
Steve has been a solution oriented council and school board representative. I like most of our elected representatives, but Steve is one of the few that cuts through it and gets it done.
I have been most impressed with his ability to cut through the nonsence of the School Districts parcel tax. Having watched the process I thank him for less wasted tax dollars.
I agree, Steve has a good business sense.
a resident of Carriage Gardens
on Sep 25, 2008 at 10:23 am
Someone should let the planning department know that they have less responsibility. The planning department is very overworked, resulting in many of the delays that the business and development community scream about regularly. No wonder Steve wasn't endorsed by the Chamber. Moving resources (people, money, etc...) away from the planning department will only make this city less business-friendly. I guess fewer businesses WOULD help the traffic situation, though...
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 29, 2008 at 11:44 am
You need to re-read my post. I didn't imply that Steve said he would fire people.
I said he wasn't talking about a reduction via "firing" and an increase then by "hiring". My point was. Assuming he isn't firing people, how can you take a body in the planning department with specific expertise, and simply reallocate that body to traffic and expect that the skill set translates? I was verifying that Steve stated more than once that this is how he wanted to deal with a shortage in traffic resources.
I am not mis-representing anything, as you have stated he said exactly what I did!
a resident of Beratlis Place
on Sep 29, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Does the existing skill set translate? Whatever your point was, it was pointless. This isn't mean, the answers are out there, just not by the county or our traffic department. Your expertise with proper guidance would be just as effective.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 30, 2008 at 9:33 am
Can you calrify what you are talking about? Your response makes no sense?
I was only verifying that I was at the breakfast, and that Steve said exactly what Frank posted was accurate in an above comment. Anything beyond that would be reading into my comment.
I don't believe you can simply move resources from planning to traffic as a solution. Steve likes to say that this is what you do in a "real company". You cannot take a saleman in a real company and put him in engineering? Make sense?
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Sep 30, 2008 at 9:43 am
Reallocating resources through attrition is not moving the same people, nor is it firing anyone.
It is a reasonable business practice.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Sep 30, 2008 at 9:48 am
Brozosky didn't appear to say "attrition". What did he mean?!
a resident of Oak Hill
on Oct 2, 2008 at 12:02 am
"Shifting resources" can be done quite easly through re-training, attrition or termination(elimination of a position that's no longer needed in a certain location and relocating that "position" to another location where it's needed). Anyone with "business world" experience will know this is a common practice. I believe it's called "wise use of resources".
The Mayor, or any councilmember, could request the City Manager canvas all departments for vacant positions and/or positions that are expected to become vacant(for whatever reason)within a given time frame and report back to the council. If the report is favorable(meaning these positions could be "shifted" elsewhere and not harm normal city functions), the Mayor, with approval of council majority, could instruct the City Manager to "shift" these resources, as they become available, to any department that's in need. "Wise use of resources"...
A competent manager will make these changes as they occur...
Question for those that seem to know - what number of employees are needed to qualify as a "business".
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Oct 2, 2008 at 7:25 am
The real question I should be asking here is how will "shifting manpower" solve the City's traffic congestion? It sounds like a non-solution to me.
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Oct 2, 2008 at 9:57 am
Great point Stacey, we get mired in arguing about a nit picky detail of what he really said and yet he offered no real solutions to traffic. In fact he said along with the other no growth candidates when asked if the Stoneridge extension were to be paid for as promised by Sup. Haggerty but as a requirement must be built immediately would he be in support of building it? Brozosky, McGovern, and Sullivan all answered with "maybe", "when the time is right"? (talk about vauge), and "under the right conditions", they were asked to answer yes or no. Hosterman said Yes, Absolutely, and Pentin said Yes.
Haggerty didn't say, hey Pleasanton, you have an open checkbook I'd like you to build the Stoneridge extension whenever YOU feel the time is right.
We need leadership. When someone offers to pay for something with thier rules attached, obviously you have one choice. Please Pleasanton, lets not have another council mired in study after study after study. The Stoneridge extension has been in the general plan for over 30 years and now the county finds it important enough to pay for it in these very tough economic times. What does that tell you. Its time to take the money and build this extension at no cost to Pleasanton. Talk about a win win win scenario.
Oh yeah, and we'll be able to get to the new Staples Ranch project and use the facilities!

If "good business sense" is your criteria, why wouldn't you vote for Jerry Pentin? He owns a successful business and has "good business sense" too.

The reality is that PP would mire us down in the courts with a price tag as much as or greater than the Neal School debacle.
PP= Mired in the courts
VOTE NO on PP
YES on QQ!!!!!!!!!
HOSTERMAN for Mayor
PENTIN for Council

PP would do more than create courtroom fodder. The housing unit part of PP would cause more study, study, study to be done. All you small-time property owners out there will suddenly find yourselves up against a planning process where EXTRA time needs to be taken to consider the impact your plans would have on the housing cap.

Would someone please define "good business sense". I've noticed this term bandied about quite often in this little debate.
Why do some believe the passage of PP will, almost automatically, result in litigation. Is it because a developer, at a city council meeting, suggested this could happen. If I too were a developer, I would also make such a suggestion in hopes of possibly "nipping in the bud" any opposition to my present/future plans.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 3, 2008 at 6:03 am
Developers might sue, yes, but also housing advocates for seniors and affordable housing also might find reason to be in court.
Verbatim from the text of PP:
Policy 15 on Page II-19 of the City of Pleasanton August 6, 1996 General Plan is added as shown:
Policy 15.3: A housing unit is defined to include any residence that includes a kitchen (sink, cooking device, and refrigerator) and a bathroom (toilet, tub or shower). The City Council shall uphold the housing cap and shall not grant waivers that exclude housing units consistent with this definition.
II. If any portions of this initiative are declared invalid by a court, the remaining portions are to be considered valid.
III. The provisions of this initiative may be amended or repealed only by the voters of the City of Pleasanton at a City general election and overrides any existing General Plan.
This definition of a housing unit is contrary to state law and is illegal. The next part of the narrative is that the City Council can't issue waivers or alter this in any manner without it going to the voter; that means even if it is illegal. It amends the General Plan with an ordinance (LAW). The general plan is a policy document from which the city plans for the City. The ordinances are supposed to be sent through a public and transparent process and then voted on by the city council who is the representative legislative body in Pleasanton.
(Should I mention, we don't know WHO wrote PP!)
The housing unit definition includes second units on PRIVATE PROPERTY, as well as assisted living facilities (PARKVIEW) and a literal meaning would include extended stay hotels, maybe not the intent but it is what it says!
It doesn't define a ridge and it makes exceptions for ten units or less, and it affects agreements the city has already made but have not been started, (The Happy Valley By-Pass Road for example). AND the initiative itself says that each part of it remains valid until it is litigated individually which means multiple trips back to court for each of the provisions.
PP is bad law written by maybe well intended people who, because of inexperience (or perhaps design) did not understand or care about the ramification of the words contained in PP. They could have included clarification in the wording but chose not to, thus opening the City to COSTLY litigation.
QQ is the better alternative.
VOTE YES on QQ, it is the true Hillside Measure that includes the voices of all of Pleasanton.
YES on QQ!
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Oct 3, 2008 at 7:27 am
Yes, "good business sense" has been bandied around on this blog as a reason to vote for Brozosky, but no one seems to be able to explain why wouldn't a vote also go to Pentin and his good business sense?
PP and QQ. It is real simple. QQ can eliminate all the unintended consequences currently identified in PP. Save Pleasanton Hills CANNOT go back and fix PP's shortcomings even if they wanted to. Go read yesterday's Independent. (Web Link) In it Kay Ayala tries to explain away PP's deficiencies by clarifying what was meant like with regards to the Happy Valley Bypass Road. -- "Ayala explained that the measure
talks about structures, not infrastructure. "There is not one word that says a road is a structure." -- The problem is, a judge looks at the actual language of the initiative, not Ayala's statements made to newspapers. Even if Ayala or any of the other authors stand up in court and say "This is what we meant!" they cannot fix PP. On the other hand, all of Save Pleasanton Hill's clarifying statements can be fixed and made into law with QQ.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Oct 3, 2008 at 7:40 am
Regarding other statements in the Independent...
Opponents say Measure PP
was written by only a few people.
"The final initiative wording
went through lawyers, planning
commissioners, and retired
elected officials. We were looking
for something simple and
think we have achieved that
goal," according to Ayala.
Basically, the final wording went through people who should know better. Since they are no longer in elected/appointed positions, they are free to push their own agendas without regard for the greater public interest.
While she was on
the council, Ayala said that no
projects on the southeast hills
came to the council. "If one had,
I would have pushed to have the
ordinance created before any discussions
were held on a proposed
This is Ayala's weak attempt to explain why she didn't do anything when she was on Council and some of you will buy into it. Hindsight is always 20/20 of course. "If I knew what would happen, I wouldn't have inhaled."
Jerry, it isn't a matter of a developer trying to "nip something in the bud". Future litigation by _anyone_ is always limited to what was put into the public record. You can read this limitation on that little yellow card the City sends out for public notification.

The endorsers of PP are an interesting study. Many live in Kottinger Ranch, which destroyed many views in Pleasanton. Some live on a hill (1 Brozosky Hill Lane). Yes, that is seriously where Brozosky lives. Some live on 25% slope...McGovern. Some live in Bridle Creek, moved here, and don't want any road to go through their neighborhood. This is silly if it weren't so serious. It is hypocrisy and drawbridge mentality at its worst.
Vote no on PP and yes on QQ!

Profurl roller main halyard replacement
I have an older attached profurl roller main system on my Van 32 .Recently notice on my last trip up the mast the halyard was in need of replacing near the top. I spliced a new loop on the other end of the halyard and I thought I could just lower the sail, unhook the halyard, put on a tacer line then attach a new halyard. The end of the halyard doesn't come out at the bottom? Its within the furling aluminum cover. How the heck do you replace the halyard??

text: Jan 30, 2013 - I absolutely ADORE this moisturizer. This is my go to moisturizer. I put it on right after I finish conditioning and detangling my hair and whenever my hair starts to feel a lil dry. I love that it is thick but does not feel heavy on my hair. I love the smell because it is sweet but not overpowering. This is a must have staple product in my hair routine :)

Title: You're Beautiful
Also known as: You're Handsome, It's Handsome Boy
Genre: Romance, comedy
Director: Hong Sung Chang
Screenwriter: Hong Jung Eun & Hong Mi Ran
Episodes: 16
Broadcast Network: SBS , Wednesday & Thursday 21:55
Broadcast period: 2009-Oct-07
Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung
Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam / Go Mi Nyu
Lee Hong Ki as Kang On Yu / Jeremy
Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo
UEE as Yoo He Yi
Bae Geu Rin as Sa Yu Ri
Kim In Kwon as Ma Hoon Yi
Jung Chan
Kim Sung Ryung
Choi Ran
Choi Soo Eun
A story about the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group called "A.N.JELL", their difficulties, love and career.
Tae Kyung and On Yu and Shin Woo are in search of a new member for their idol group. However at the last minute, the member suffers an injury and his twin sister, Mi Nyu, steps in to disguise as him.
Park Shin Hye will play Go Mi Nam (male) & Go Mi Nyu (female), a pair of twins who ends up switching places when Mi Nam gets into an accident after being selected as 1 of the four members of "A.N.JELL".
Hwang Tae Kyung
Member of the most famous Korean pop group A.N.JELL. He has genius skill in music composition and performing piano. Accordingly, his popularity is on top position in Korea.
His father, Hwang Kyung Sae, is world class music conductor. So, he is a member of noble royal family in music. There are a lot of curiosity about his real mother, but Hwang family consistently say no comments about that.
Hwang Tae Kyung looks perfect in appearance, but, he is full of defect to live in real life. He has stomach inflammation, excessive concerns of cleanliness, night blindness, sleeplessness, sleepwalking , and various disease.
Moreover, He has many allergies, that means, if somebody want, he could be put Tae Kyung in big trouble by using only one food.
Tae Kyung has great stubbornness. He think himself a great person. he is a man of tired type to stay with. Even he looks perfect man in appearance, but if we know his inside, he has poor wounded spirit. But, it makes us too nervous that we feel pity for his poor soul.
Go Mi Nam / Go Mi Nyu
Go Mi Nam(male) and Go Mi Nyu (female) are twin, brother and sister, they grew up together in orphanage attached to a nunnery.
Though, the older brother was chosen as member of idol group, as he couldn't do daily activities, the younger sister took his role, as a memeber of idol group, using her brother's name, Go Mi Nam.
Bu, Go Mi Nam, who has to live as a idol, is lack of sociality, flexibility, friendship. He is soft and pure as he lived long time staying far from real world. To say another word, in realistic, timid and a little stupid! Even, he cannot catch the sign that some other people ignore him.
His special ability is unawareness in front, mumbling himself afterwards. Look back the situation while feel sorry. Worry some bad things even before something happen. A little bit character of bothering somebody else.
Kang Shin Woo
He has soft and handsome face like his name. but, it is only image, his reality is that he feel nothing about anything. He looks like smile to anybody, but , really, he never smile to anybody. A prince who has no heart. If we say Tae Kyung is sensitive elementary boy, Shin Woo is old man who already spent his life.
If we say Tae Kyung has sensitiveness as an artist, then Shin Woo has keenness as a businessman. He is a man of ambition who dreams entertain business rather than become an artist.
He is a healthy and bright, well grown young man. He is a Korean resident in England and his father is English noble man. His father is world class photographer and his mother is a famous model. As he is optimistic and he is in the middle of member to equalize and balance other group members.
His smile is very pretty and lovely, so, even he say same stupid thing, his smile covers everything.
He has lived thinking there are only deep friendship between boys and only love between boy and girl. But his brain became mixed up as the existence of Mi Nam who is a girl as well as a boy.
Without Words by Jang Geun Suk/Park Shin Hye
What Should I Do by Jang Geun Suk/Park Shin Hye
Lovely Day by Park Shin Hye..
And many2 more.. i love the song of Fly Me to The Moon by Jang Geun Suk and Park Shin Hye. Sweet lyrics :
Fly Me To The Moon
Fly me to the moon and
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song and
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Date of Stay: November, 2007
First and most importantly, there is a 25% steep grade going up to the campsite. Take note if you are concerned with your transmission or ability of your rig to pull up the mountain. It is a beautiful place. Sites are well maintained. All in all a nice place!
Date of Stay: October, 2007
The sites were in excellent shape. On several of the sites, there is actually a lower sitting area nearer to the lake. When the lake is up to the normal level you can fish from those areas. easy to camp with other friends with campers. At least one friend site set. Walking trails are nice also.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
The WiFi is available but not complementary. The roads were fairly drivable with a large rig, a couple of places to slowdown and be careful with. There is plenty for a family to do here and the trails are great around the lake. Good spots for dogs to enter and play. The sites are nicely kept.
Date of Stay: January, 2007
Many of the trees are down and crowd the camping area making it look very un-kept. Some of the sites were updated and some are not. Roads were easy to navigate and wide enough for my 44' of truck and trailer.

ModCloth Striped Flare Shirring
Be whisked away to an extravagant Saint Petersburg theater where top ballet dancers perform to your heart's content when you slip on this silky dress. As a dapper usher leads you with a white gloved hand through the seating aisle, the flouncy, feminine skirt of your rich blue dress glides like a swan on a lake. Mesmerized by the building's Art Nouveau decor, you don't notice the other patrons admiring the sheer, chiffon overlay of gentle navy over a satiny, deep sapphire liner. The same shiny fabric trims the low V-neck, elasticated waist, bow in back, and triangle details on front. With your beaded clutch and silver jewelry catching the glow of the dimming house lights, your heart flutters as the curtain lifts. At last the poised dancers begin Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty' with the start of the orchestra, and you excitedly smooth your skirt, adjust the sleeveless top, and smile inside.

While I use these at home, and they work great on their own, I never travel without them--and a small clean, empty baggie. On a red eye or overseas flight, I believe my trick boosts the Botanico Eye Compress effect: When the cabin staff comes through the last time, I ask for a glass of ice water. Two compresses go in the baggie (squeeze out the air and seal); it goes into the ice water for a minute; then, I put the chilled compresses over my eyes. It takes away under eye puffiness and the redness on the lids stupendously.5
I received these in a past Birchbox and fell in love. I have wanted to purchase these forever and couldn't bring myself to do - until recently. They feel so amazing on your eyes, and give you an excuse to turn the world off for 10 minutes. Afterwards my eyes are moisturized and glowing. If you are doubting purchasing these, just do it - you will be thankful.5
