Mission Statement
The mission of the Communications Department is to prepare professionals who will successfully compete in today's marketplace in the areas of electronic media programming and production, mass communications, public relations, advertising, and telecommunications. Additionally, the department strives to increase skills in writing, journalism, presentation, research, and digital media production including full utilization of the world wide web.
Program Description
Students dedicated to building professional careers in print media, film, TV production, telecommunications, and the closely-related fields of public relations, advertising and organizational communications, will find degree programs designed by the Communications Department to meet their needs and to challenge their skills and interests.
Departmental curricula are designed to prepare students to pursue careers as communications professionals in the media-rich communications industries and corporations. As such, students will be expected to be adept at basic language skills and knowledgeable in at least one area of specialization. They also should be aware of professional responsibilities, ethical practices and laws governing the mass media.
Students from other disciplines, seeking to improve their communications skills and knowledge about the media and their impact upon society, will find a variety of course offerings.
Mass Communications
The department offers the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications with an emphasis in Mass Communications (40 units).
Communications majors who wish to maximize their career opportunities may choose an emphasis in Mass Communications. This emphasis integrates rather than segregates instruction in public relations, electronic media/production and content, and the knowledge and skills necessary for success as writers, editors and producers in the career fields of newspapers, magazines, books, wire services, radio, television and the expanding multimedia publishing enterprises of CD-ROMs, interactive media, and the World Wide Web.
The Mass Communications emphasis, in which faculty advisers tailor the curriculum in response to the goals and talents of each individual student, was created by the department in recognition of three key realities about today's world of communications. First, communications professionals must be prepared to cross over the traditional operating boundaries of print, broadcast, film and electronic media. Second, communications professionals must be prepared during the course of their working life to move upward by moving laterally from one medium to another (for example, from writing press releases for newspapers to producing video news releases for television to producing documentaries for corporations, TV networks, schools and cyberspace). Third, increasingly unpredictable changes in the economics of communications challenge today's undergraduates to prepare to present themselves as credible candidates for the most desirable entry-level communications jobs available at the time and place their careers begin.
Electronic media journalists may become involved in TV news and public affairs production on campus or may publish to the world wide web.
Public Relations students receive exposure to diverse communications-related fields.
Public Relations
The department offers the Bachelor of Arts in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations (40 units).
This program is designed for students interested in careers in public relations and the related fields of marketing and organizational communications.
Government, civic groups, nonprofit organizations, corporations and educational institutions all require the services of public relations practitioners to manage their communications programs and to help determine public policy. This process, sometimes defined as strategic problem-solving through communications, encompasses everything from counseling top management to the preparation of press releases. It includes the entire gamut of informational media materials such as audio and video programs, employee publications, brochures, newsletters and annual reports; surveying and analyzing public opinion; speech writing; lobbying; fund raising and the planning of special events. Students in this emphasis are encouraged to join the department-sponsored Public Relations Student Society (PRSSA) Chapter.
Electronic Media/Television Programming and Production
The department offers the Bachelor of Arts in Communications with an emphasis in Electronic Media Programming and Production (40 units).
This program is designed to prepare students for various careers in the electronic (television) media industries of public and commercial broadcasting, cable television and corporate/educational video.
The television environment is no longer totally dominated by the three network giants of ABC, CBS and NBC. Other entities have gained entry into this highly demanding market, and as a result the job market for future broadcasting professionals has broadened. This broadening has created the need for revised curriculum to help students prepare to meet these new challenges. The Communications Department continues to adjusts its classes to meet those needs of currency in the areas of programming content and production. We seek to meld the needs of the industries with the realities of the production studio to create a hybrid professional who is able to compete effectively in the corporate and public world of television programming and production. The Communications Department has implemented digital media production techniques and hardware.
The department offers an Interdisciplinary Minor in Advertising (18 units), in conjunction with the School of Business and Public Administration and the Art Department, combining courses in advertising, marketing and graphic design.
The Advertising Minor provides an overview of both the business and creative sides of the advertising field.
• Our location in Los Angeles is at the heart of one of the nation's prime media centers. This enables the department to draw upon an unparalleled pool of industry professionals as guest lecturers and part-time instructors. Wide-ranging internship opportunities are open to our students, in addition to employment opportunities in one of the largest media markets in the world.
• Small class sizes allow students to receive individual attention from instructors and advisors and obtain maximum hands-on experience and access to production facilities.
• The department's state-of-the-art writing/graphics/research laboratory, electronic media production laboratory, and a photographic laboratory provide students the opportunity to sharpen their skills as writers, reporters, editors, researchers, graphic designers, photojournalists and media producers.
• A spacious three-camera color television studio with professional, state-of-the-art equipment and lighting allows students the opportunity to produce broadcast quality television programs and media programming for emerging new markets.
• Digital portable field production and non-linear editing systems give television students hands-on experience in location shooting and video editing.
Academic Advisement
The Communications Department places a high priority on student advisement. Each student entering the department is assigned an academic advisor from among the members of the full-time faculty.
Students have ample opportunity to meet individually with their advisors to discuss academic and professional matters. All departmental faculty members, are dedicated to helping students in the essential process of acculturation to the professional practices and life styles of communications professionals.
Students are urged to meet with faculty members as soon as questions arise. High academic standards of the department require that all communications majors and minors pass all required and prerequisite courses with grades of "C" or better. All Communications majors must complete a minor in a subject other than Communications.
The ability to use the English language effectively is crucial to the success of the communications professional. Therefore, students are urged to take at least four years of college preparatory English.
The Communications Department deals primarily with the theory and process of communication, and the tools and techniques used to deliver messages composed of words, symbols, music, sound, nonverbal signs and visual elements. Message content, on the other hand, is derived from substantive knowledge of other disciplines – such as the political or behavioral sciences, economics, science and technology, sports, business management or public administration.
Students interested in communications careers should, therefore, prepare themselves by completing a broad spectrum of studies designed to increase their knowledge and awareness of facts, trends and developments in the many disciplines mentioned above.
Undergraduate Research Program
The year-long CSU Dominguez Hills Communications Undergraduate Research Program is one of the most rigorous in the nation. All Communications majors must complete it by enrolling in COM 400 and COM 490. These courses cannot be taken concurrently. Work in COM 400 culminates with an approved original research proposal. In COM 490, students complete a detailed five-chapter thesis that reports their findings.
Typically, these projects involve marketing and consumer behavior, social or ethical issues, the effects of mass communication, or some other appropriate topic. Students are required to choose their own thesis topics and often these reflect their career interests. In addition to providing a sample of student work for a prospective employer, these theses offer the student a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty to improve their written and oral communication skills.
Career Possibilities
The field of communications offers a vast number of challenging and rewarding professional and technical job opportunities.
Recent breakthroughs in information processing and telecommunications, including the meteoric rise of satellite TV, cable TV and corporate video, have sparked new employment opportunities. The steadily increasing influence of the mass media and the growing interest of business and industry in public relations, advertising, and "in-house video" communications and production for the world wide web also have opened a variety of new job opportunities.
Mass Communications
Reporter, editor, feature writer, columnist, correspondent, newscaster, editorial writer, advertising sales, news director, media management, researcher and photographer.
Public Relations and Advertising

Student Organization
The Communications Department has sponsored a chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) since 1979. The Chapter's Mission is: (1) to serve its student members by enhancing their knowledge of public relations and providing access to professional development opportunities; and (2) to serve the public relations profession by helping to develop highly qualified, well-prepared professionals. PRSSA cultivates a favorable and mutually advantageous relationship between student members and professional public relations practitioners. The CSUDH Chapter is highly active, holding monthly meetings and sponsoring various on- and off-campus social and professional activities.

When I first took a look at my numbers utilizing the Google Analytics tool, I was completely perplexed. Yet, the information offered some mystery that I knew I had to further evaluate.
I don't know how but by some miraculous reason I managed to ace my Statistics 101 class in college. However, the numbers I was looking at behind my website just seemed like a whole different animal. And if you are anything like me, I couldn't scream help fast enough before my eyes started rolling back into my head and I was overwhelmed with trying to make sense of the seemingly important data that was flashing right before my eyes.
Thankfully, I have a great mentor who not only offered some guidance but also has a Blog Statistics Workshop replay that helps break down the numbers into edible pieces. This allowed me to understand what it all meant in order to work efficiently on getting more traffic.
It is true for many of us who run businesses online that our Google Analytics tool is the go to place for reference in order to see what our website traffic looks like.
But when you get there, wouldn't you want to know what the numbers really mean? Why they're so important? And what that information tells you about the health of your site?
In Know Your Blog Stats, Kelly discusses the significance of this information and what it tells you about your readers. If you think you already have what you need, take a look at this article I read in Inc magazine where it describes how you may actually know less than they think about your website's analytics.
Billions Are Connected
There are billions of Internet users across all continents around the world. I think it comes to no surprise that the number keeps growing by the day. This means that as time goes on, there will be more businesses competing with each other online and more people available who can potentially be your customers.
Many people have come to rely on the Internet as a referential point in making a decision about something.
Think about it. How many times a day do you "Google" something, look something up for a review or attempt to make a decision about a fancy restaurant you've never been to without first searching for it online?
Because of the prospective of reaching an extraordinary amount of people online, businesses have vested interest in developing solid marketing strategies that are competitive in nature and produce the desired results
How do businesses produce results?
By learning about what is working in their business and doing more of it while identifying what is not working in order to trash it or tweak it as deemed necessary.

If you want to know how to pull off a successful case competition, ask Rice MBA candidates Gilbert Lei '12 and Van Nguyen '12. They recently co-led the 2012 Rice MBA Marketing Case Competition and it was successful not only as an academic experience, but in honing leadership skills, bringing like-minded colleagues together, and networking with industry professionals.
Last spring, Rice Marketing Club advisors, Vikas Mittal and Ajay Kalra, suggested the club host a case competition. "I knew this event would be challenging, but after much consideration, I agreed," said Van, then incoming president of Rice Marketing Club. Gilbert volunteered and was elected by club members to be the vice president who would lead this event. Gilbert and Van had meetings throughout the summer and in the fall enlisted the help of first-year MBAs to form a Case Competition Committee.
The two students shared in the balance of visionary leadership and logistical talent, also crediting Jones School staff, other club board members and faculty with their success. "Every time I asked for help I got more than I requested," Gilbert said. "It was an amazing team effort."
Neither Van nor Gilbert had attended a case competition before so they had a lot of homework. After speaking to schools with top marketing programs about organization, logistics, and promoting a competition, they landed a primary financial sponsor in Cameron.
Marketing executives from Cameron and Jones School marketing and communications faculty were enlisted as judges. Three teams were recruited from the University of Houston, one from Texas Southern University, one mixed team from University of Houston and University of Texas, and three from the Jones School. In all, 35 MBAs attended the event and prizes worth over $2000 were awarded to winning teams.
As the main sponsor of the event, Cameron was given the opportunity to propose a marketing case. The company was looking for ways to seek best practices for their social media and this was determined to be the case for the competition. Once presented, each team had 12 hours to prepare.
"This competition centered around our club's mission: to educate, equip, and enrich Rice MBA students and the community about marketing," Van said. The group also wanted to make the Rice Marketing Club and the Jones School more visible in the Houston and Texas communities. Van said that the group wanted to "show other MBA programs in our community that the Jones School has a strong interest in marketing as a profession and that we are inclusive and interested in getting to know our colleagues from our regional business schools."
Case competition participants from Rice included: Melanie Jones, LaMecia Butler, Guillermo Mezzatesta, Corali Muente, Hector Rodriguez, Arun Thaticherla, Andrew Harrell, Andrew Baxter, Mike LaBoda, Kurt Schoeffler, Stephen Tsai, and Rahul Raphael.
The Rice Marketing Club's Case Competition Committee helped organize this event, along with other Marketing Club board members. Those students include committee members Jeanette Pasuizaca, Tatiana Loza and Larry Martin; and volunteers Jessica Lewis, Ravi Dubey, Monica Cordova, Pallavi Hisaria, Ming Yan, Feroz Mulla, and Shamsha Damani.

When to Treat Myelodysplastic Syndromes
When to Treat Myelodysplastic Syndromes
The myelodysplastic syndromes represent a heterogeneous series of clonal hematologic neoplasms characterized by morphologic dysplasia, aberrant hematopoiesis and a variable risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia. These syndromes have a complex pathobiology, and ineffective hematopoiesis is a well-recognized feature of all of them. Normal blood cell maturation, differentiation, function, and survival are impaired, and these abnormalities contribute to the development of peripheral blood pancytopenia. The majority of patients succumb to complications of either bone marrow failure or leukemic progression. The fact that the majority of patients are elderly and have other comorbidities complicates therapeutic decision making and necessitates the development of individualized treatment strategies.
Myelodysplastic syndromes, also referred to collectively as MDS, have significant biological and clinical heterogeneity, a highly variable natural history, and a complex pathobiology that is not clearly understood. It is becoming increasingly clear that MDS is a relatively common hematological disease. MDS is primarily a disorder of older adults (median age, 69 years), and the average annual age-adjusted incidence rate for MDS from 2001 through 2003 was 3.3 per 100,000. Overall, MDS affects approximately 1 in 500 persons over 60 years of age, making it the most common hematologic malignancy in this age group.[1-3] The number of diagnoses has risen dramatically in recent years as a result of increased recognition of the disease; the increase in diagnoses may also reflect the aging of the population and the development of effective therapies for these disorders. MDS is a potentially fatal disease; the common causes of death in a cohort of 216 MDS patients included bone marrow failure (infection/hemorrhage) and transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).[4] Treatment of MDS can be challenging in these generally older patients. This review describes current treatment options for lower- and higher-risk patients.
Diagnosis and Prognosis
The diagnosis of MDS requires a detailed history, physical examination, and morphological examination of blood and bone marrow cells. Examination of the bone marrow (via aspirate, biopsy, flow cytometry, and cytogenetics) is necessary to make a confident diagnosis and to distinguish MDS from other conditions that can cause cytopenia and dysplastic hematopoiesis (eg, megaloblastic anemia, HIV infection, alcohol abuse, and severe intercurrent illness), as well as from other clonal hematologic malignancies. MDS is a common cause of mild to moderate chronic anemia in elderly patients, and it is often mistaken for anemia of chronic disease or anemia of renal insufficiency. However, MDS is sometimes overdiagnosed, since morphologic dysplasia is not specific for MDS (there are reactive causes of dysplasia). Clinicians and pathologists need to collaborate closely in order to reach the final diagnosis and label a patient with MDS, since receiving this diagnosis is a life-changing event with implications for both prognosis and therapy.
Bone marrow assessment in MDS provides important descriptive and prognostic information. There are two classification systems: in the French-American-British (FAB) system, the presence of ≥ 30% blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow is required for the diagnosis of AML,[5] and in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system, the presence of ≥ 20% blasts is sufficient for an AML diagnosis (also, the WHO classification system is based on a combination of morphology, karyotype, and clinical features).[6]
MDS is different from other cancers in that it does not have a staging system. The two prognostic scoring systems that are most commonly used to predict overall survival and risk of transformation to AML are the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS)[7] and the WHO classification–based Prognostic Scoring System (WPSS).[8] The IPSS is the most widely used prognostic system; however, it has certain limitations, such as the inclusion of largely untreated patients, and the exclusion of patients with secondary and therapy-related MDS. In the IPSS, the presence of > 20% blasts in bone marrow warrants a higher score than poor risk cytogenetics; however, there is evidence that those two groups have a similar median survival.[8,10] The WPSS takes into account red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements, which have prognostic value. There are other adverse prognostic markers, such as the abnormal localization of immature precursor cells or the clustering of immature myeloid cells in the bone marrow biopsy specimen,[11] the presence of marrow fibrosis,[12] and mutation and/or loss of heterozygosity of the tumor suppressor gene p53[13]; none of these are included in either the IPSS or the WPSS.
Treatment Options: General Principles
Therapeutic decisions in MDS patients should be based on three clinical features: age, performance status, and the IPSS-defined risk category (the IPSS score must be calculated when the patient is in stable clinical condition rather than during an acute illness). The treatment goals are to prevent or delay transformation to AML, and to extend the patient's life and improve his or her quality of life. MDS is not curable without the performance of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the majority of patients are not eligible for such intensive therapy due to a combination of advanced age, the presence of comorbidities, and limited donor availability. Practice guidelines for MDS have been published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN),[14] the UK MDS Guidelines Group,[1] and the Italian Society of Hematology.[15] An International Working Group (IWG) of investigators has proposed standardized response criteria for evaluating the outcome of therapy in MDS; hopefully these will facilitate more consistent interpretation of new therapies.[16,17]

Oct. 31, 2012 -- Autoflush mechanisms in lower campus buildings
I'd like to know whose idea it was to install self-flushing toilets in the lower campus buildings. I do not know anyone who likes them. They either flush every minute or don't flush at all. To put this as delicately as possible, you can be sitting doing your business and suddenly there is flushing, which sprays unsanitary stuff up upon you, not to mention it just startles you at most inopportune moments. If someone thought this was a water saver, it doesn't appear to be. The universal annoyance factor certainly outweighs any possible benefits.
And while we're on the subject, the automatic soap and water faucets are not an improvement either. They were obviously designed by someone who thought all we do at the sink is wash our hands. No chance to get either hot or cold water if needed, and unless you angle the cup or whatever you're trying to rinse just right, it gets soap on it whether you want that or not.
From Marianne Freelong, Facilities Services
Facilities Services is rethinking the use of auto flushometers in campus buildings. Restrooms in the Bunnell Building will be used as a test site and changed over to normal toilet flush mechanisms soon. After a period of time we'll request feedback from building users. Facilities will look at the automatic faucets and soap dispensers at a later date.
Oct. 31, 2012 -- Halloween activities at Wood Center
Why was the Wood Center Halloween event cancelled?
As part of an overall UA effort, UAF is examining its policies and practices regarding minors on campus. We had planned to try a new method of screening volunteers for the Wood Center Halloween event. Unfortunately, we misjudged the amount of time it would take to accomplish our plans and as a result had to cancel the event this year.
Oct. 15, 2012 -- Bathroom door lock in Signers' Hall
The lock on the women's bathroom on the first floor of Signers' Hall has been broken for at least two weeks. The sign indicating that facilities had been contacted has been there for over a week. There are not many bathrooms on the first floor of Signers' and Eielson so this problem has become very obvious and annoying. Is there any idea when this will be fixed?
Due to unexpected circumstances and resulting staffing levels, this project ended up on the backlog. Facilities Services crews were able to fix the lock on Friday, Oct. 12. If you have any questions regarding outstanding work orders, please call the customer service line at 474-7000.
Oct. 10, 2012 -- West Ridge commuter trail
What work is being done to the West Ridge commuter trail?
Kara Axx, North Campus Manager
The existing commuter trail connecting Sheep Creek Road with Lookout Point is very sloped which prevents the trails manager from using a snowmachine to pack the trail after periods of heavy snowfall. In the past, it has been up to the walkers and cyclists to pack the trail. There was a bulldozer in the area working on another project, so we were able to bring it out to level this section of trail. This improvement will allow the trail to be packed on a regular basis during the winter.
Oct. 8, 2012 -- Dining services staff and hair nets
The employees at Wood Center Dining need to wear their hairnets properly or just not bother. The purpose of a hairnet is to prevent hair from falling into food. I see most of the employees leaving the front of their hair loose and free while covering the back. This completely defeats the entire reason for a hairnet in the first place. Dining services should either save themselves some money by not bothering with the nets or require the employees to wear them correctly.
Thank you for your suggestion. Dining services at UAF are provided by an outside contractor, but we certainly want to hear about any concerns about the services or health codes not being followed at any of our dining locations. We'll forward this suggestion to the contract manager right away and ask that he/she look into the matter.
You are welcome to forward any additional comments or concerns to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gaziantep Olay TV, 8 February 2011
The way of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is currently being abundantly experienced in the End Times. But a great many people are unaware of it. Perhaps even Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) himself is unaware of it. Do you see Allah's artistry and perfection in the test? Were there no test, there would be no beauty or anything left. Paradise would be meaningless and hell would be meaningless and life would be meaningless, something totally flat. We would literally be just like robots. Allah has created the most perfect state. There can be no other way. A test without pain is no test at all. How can there be a test without pain? The test has to include all kinds of pain.
They are very few in number but are of great respect before Allah, Majestic is Whose mention. They follow the leaders [Imams] of religion. … The statements of the leaders [the Imam (pbuh)] that are difficult to understand for others are soft and easy for them to understand. (Al-Kafi, H 887, Ch. 79, h 3)
Some people ignore the hadiths about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), but the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) can easily accept them, it says.
It is necessary for the person in charge of this task [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] to disappear from the public sight and in his disappearance from public sight he must remain away from public. How good is Tayba, the city of Madina, for dwelling and living with thirty people is not frightening isolation. (Al-Kafi, H 903, Ch. 80, h 16)
He will definitely disappear or be imprisoned or else hide away of his own free will. He will act with 30 followers, it says. He will work on books, and perhaps on CDs. He will have a scholarly team of 30 people and will work in a house or somewhere like that, and the public will see him little, at first he will be seen very little, it says in the hadith. The place where he will withdraw to disappear from public sight is a most lovely one.A nice house, a nice place, a pleasant house, perhaps in a much admired house. And he has a fine group of 30 colleagues, a scholarly team, and his being with them means he is not alone, it says in the hadith.
He will be admitted only by believers who swore devotion to Allah in the sphere beyond this world.
Before coming to this world we swore devotion to Allah in the sphere beyond this world. Before souls ever came to this world. They do not know, but instinctively follow Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) at Allah's command. Many people can currently feel Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) presence, but his followers immediately go and find him from the sphere beyond this world where they swore to Allah, and they do not leave him. They have sworn in the Presence of Allah.
Everyone dies. Life is very short. Look at photos taken in the previous century, how happy people look. Children play in the streets, women are very content, some people play in the fields and enjoy themselves. The thousands of people seen in these photos are all gone now, not one remains, they are all dead. Nothing is left, not the children in their laps, the horses and other animals there, nothing, they are all dead. If you told them at that time, they would wonder what you were talking about. But time passes very quickly and is soon over. It is over in the blink of an eye. Almighty Allah issues warnings in this way, with the unexpected deaths of young people in the End Times. They can try to forget it all they like, but Allah always prevents them from forgetting it. Allah visits sickness upon them, for instance. A minor illness arises, and at once the fear of death fills them. A mole develops on their bodies and they immediately develop a terror of cancer. It is obvious to us all how spoiled people would be were it not for these things, how predisposed they would be to this world and to self love. We can all see how prone they would be to arrogance, pride and anger. Allah creates events in order to prevent that. And just a hint of them suffices. Allah produces them in just the right measure. Sickness, troubles, sorrows and death produce only the outcomes that Allah desires. People become partly capable of thought. There can be no test any other way. Otherwise life would be flat and meaningless. Either you have the test, in which case the world will be very lovely and bright, the life of paradise, or else the world will be totally flat. That is why Allah has created the test. Allah knows what we will do in the test. But we do not know what we will do. Allah thus shows us what we are.2011-02-13 19:43:24

SAN BERNARDINO -- Residents and members of the city's Planning Commission deliberated on a controversial proposed expansion of the Waterman Gardens housing project for three hours Wednesday night before the panel voted unanimously to delay a decision until Aug. 21.
There were too many unanswered questions and commitments that had been made orally but not in the documents given to the Planning Commission, said Commissioner Jim Mulvihill, who made the motion to continue.
While many of the residents who spoke said an excess of low-income housing like that included at Waterman Gardens had contributed to the city's poverty and crime, Mulvihill and other commissioners said that wasn't the reason for opposition.
"My point of view, I want to get people off welfare," Mulvihill said. "How do you get people off welfare? No. 1, they need a place to live. ... I would like to see a little more specificity."
Commissioner Amelia Lopez made a similar point.
"'Low income' isn't a dirty word," she said, but on projects such as this the devil is often in the details.
One particular concern was current occupants of the housing project: whether all of them would be able to continue living in other parts of Waterman Gardens during the six to eight years of expected construction, which is planned as a series of eight phases.
The proposal would be to update the housing project built in 1943 and create a "mixed income" community -- about 20 percent of it being market-level housing, the applicant said verbally Wednesday -- by adding a 74-unit senior housing project, 337 multi-family and condominium units, a 45,000-square foot recreational facility, a 58,200-square foot community center and a 7,400 square-foot administration/multipurpose building.
Various improvements to the bordering streets -- Base Line and Waterman Avenue -- are also included.
The meeting began with Henry Empeno, a senior deputy city attorney, questioning newly appointed planning commissioner Kent Paxton on whether Paxton had a conflict of interest.
Empeno presented a monthly report Paxton sent when Paxton directed Mayor Pat Morris' Office of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. The emailed report lists the office's "activities" for the month and mentions progress on the proposed Waterman Gardens project.
"If there is any evidence in the record of your involvement in the matter -- whether it's an email, whether it's letters or memorandums, reports where you may have personally professed a statement of support for the project -- it calls into question whether you can fairly decide this matter," Empeno said, leaving the city open to a potential lawsuit alleging due process wasn't followed. "That could come back to haunt the city."
The decision was Paxton's to make, Empeno said, but Paxton chose to leave the room because of an appearance of a conflict of interest.
"For the record, I don't feel like I have a conflict of interest, but given my past involvement with this project via the mayor's office and given the criteria the (city attorney's office) just gave us, I'll be happy to recuse myself from this vote," said Paxton, who only recently retired from the city.
The next hearing on the proposal is scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 21 in City Council chambers.
If the Planning Commission follows city staff's recommendation, it will recommend the project to the City Council. The council will then give the city's final word.

Limbaugh threatens to bolt network over ad slump
(NEWSER) – Was the advertiser boycott over Rush Limbaugh's "slut" comment last year behind a slump in ad sales at the broadcaster that carries his show? The host is so outraged by the mere suggestion that he's threatening to leave flagship station WABC and its parent company Cumulus Media, sources tell Politico. If Limbaugh does leave Cumulus, 40 stations in 36 markets would lose the rights to his show, creating a huge talk-radio shakeup as he seeks replacements.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Chef Eric Greenspan once said of his food, "I'm a down-home guy who happens to roam at a high-end level." It makes sense, then, that he's found a way to take a simple soul food menu and gussy it up a little in honor of Bluesy Tuesdays, the Foundry on Melrose's weekly blues and Southern rock jam session. There is, of course, fried chicken, but it comes with goat cheese waffles. There are fried green tomatoes with watermelon and blue cheese and creamed corn sweetened with caramelized onions, as well as a barbecue pork-belly sandwich on which the fried pickles make all the difference. It may not be exactly Grandma's Sunday supper, but we think she'd give it her blessing. One would be wise to order the Yippy Cay, one of the night's specialty cocktails, which packs a surprising cayenne kick. 7465 Melrose Ave., Mid-City. (323) 651-0915, thefoundryonmelrose.com.

Augustus Gloop would never make it out alive. What makes Pasadena's Langham Huntington Hotel the best choice for afternoon tea can be summed up in one word: chocolate. On Sundays from noon to 5 p.m., the hotel's regular tea service, smashing in itself, is replaced by an all-chocolate afternoon tea. The selection of savory tea sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream, fruit tarts, mousse torts and crème brûlées all contain different chocolate essences. A chocolate fountain is the focal point of the afternoon ritual, with surrounding chocolate sculptural art. Beverage choices include three selections of pure liquid chocolate, Champagne and a variety of the finest teas. Among the offerings are a foie gras mousse profiterole sprinkled with chocolate dust and a white chocolate–and-avocado mousse with vanilla-marinated shrimp sandwich. An epic 16 choices are offered in the "pastry presentation," including a cocoa-nib macaroon with Earl Grey butter cream; milk-chocolate orange gateau; and a white-chocolate green tea panna cotta. Dipping choices for the chocolate fountain include peppermint and lemon marshmallows, nougats, fruits and cakes. It feels a bit incongruous to gorge on so much chocolatey goodness in such a refined, elegant setting as the Langham. Just remember to daintily dab the corners of your mouth with your fine linen napkin lest you emerge with an unsightly chocolate ring around your lips. That would be gauche. 1401 S. Oak Knoll Ave., Pasadena. (626) 585-6218, pasadena.langhamhotels.com.

If you like life on the dark side, you'll love pizza from Lucifers, a tiny storefront that could be easily overlooked if it weren't for the orange flames painted on the façade. There, you can customize the heat/spice intensity of your pizza by specifying zero, medium, fiery or blazing. But watch out: Blazing necessitates keeping a pitcher of ice water at the ready should you require emergency cool-down procedures — which you will. The idea for this "damned good pizza," as their slogan goes, comes from New Zealanders, cousins Adam and Milan Borch. "It's dark in our country, and we like the dark side of things," says Milan. "The idea of hell goes hand in hand with our concept." Even without what he calls their "secret sauce," all the pizzas are devilishly unique, such as Roast Pumpkin & Prosciutto; the Zucha, with pumpkin, olives, feta and spinach; and gluten-free and vegan cheese options. To die for: The R.I.P. club entitles you to one free pizza after your 10th. 1958 Hillhurst Ave., Los Feliz. (323) 906-8603, luciferspizza.com.

Without the kick to qualify as hot sauce, the tomato-based, sugary-yet-smoky topping that is the staple flavor of this decades-old gringo taco joint is simply "taco sauce," given in generous handfuls of packets with every order and even sold separately for the condiment's numerous cult followers. Taco Lita, the retro stand, is a slice of Americana: bright colors, cheerful servers, a no-frills menu with greasy combo burritos, and rumors of a ghost that haunts the men's restroom. This spot isn't for al Past whores, so don't try ordering it — refried beans and shredded cheddar can be found in virtually all menu items, which can and should be doused with their signature sauce, so addictive you will find yourself hoarding the packets in a jar at home, and returning for more on your next calorie binge. 120 E. Duarte Road, Arcadia. (626) 445-2889.

A great pizza is a work of art. And a great pizza for under $20? A masterpiece. The Pizza a la Andro at Caruso's is a masterpiece. Named after one of the owner's sons (son Lucas also has his own), the Pizza a la Andro comes only in "giant" size: 16 inches across, producing 12 decent-size slices. Its chewy, medium-thick crust bears generous amounts of pepperoni, sausage, fresh tomatoes, garlic and basil, in addition to deliciously gooey cheese (romano and mozzarella). The best part? It costs just $18.95. Caruso's has a full menu of delicious Italian food, including pastas, calzones and meat dishes; it also offers a full bar, a lunch buffet and even live music. But when you can get a terrific pizza, why order anything else? 13737 Foothill Blvd., Sylmar. (818) 367-7766.

How European Nations Fund Half of al-Qaeda's Budget
(NEWSER) – Brit Edwin Dyer was kidnapped in 2009 by al-Qaeda in North Africa, along with a German and a Swiss couple. Like the US, Britain doesn't pay ransoms and didn't in this case—and Dyer was killed. But his fellow captives were released after their governments paid al-Qaeda a collective $10.7 million; that same year, Swiss lawmakers added a line item in their budget for humanitarian aid … code for ransom money, reports the New York Times. European governments—mostly France, Spain, and Switzerland—routinely pay al-Qaeda ransoms for captive citizens, else they be killed. In short, "Europe has become an inadvertent underwriter" of the terror group, writes Rukmini Callimachi. And it's big money: about $125 million since 2008 and $66 million last year alone.

The real Midnight Kitty let me put my head on a corner of my pillow. She was quite generous for a Princess. Bootsie, her sister, lay at my feet.After the real MK passed in Dec. 2011, Bootsie stepped up to be "The Cat." Now she sleeps on my pillow. Bootsie will wrap herself around my head, then lay her head on top of my head and purr. We call her my "cat hat." It felt funny at first to be used as a cat pillow, but I am starting to to enjoying it.
Julian does that. It's fine except when he decides to wash me in the middle of the night. A purring cat may be soporific: a raspy cat tongue on my forehead is not.

I usually find myself checking multiple spots almost daily so I figured why not just take some pictures and let people know what I see. The cams in Rhode Island, west of the bay, dont give a great perspective (with the exception of the omist cam when its working) and they do no justice with swell condition IMO.

So use it if you choose, there may not always be pictures (because it wasn't good enough to drive to multiple locations), and there may only be one spot featured (if its good at the first place I check, I'm paddling out) but there will always be a clean simple report with no scientific jargon.

just a little something to test = Xbox and PS3 Woow guys i tested WEP and had mine broked in like 20 seconds while they were on the wifi my eyes nearly fell out of my head found ps3 the quickest it was like command command broken ffs
hello all,
i got a question and before anyone posts anything asking am i cracking the next doors no i am not, the truth of the matter is i asked my isp for an upgrade on my line to 4mb but this will cost 160 euro pm however i asked them how much would i be able to get a second line (phone line) in and this was free and 3 mb is 49 so i asked them could i have broadband on the 2 lines and they had no prob with this -- now to the question can i get the 2 wifi signals to one when i am downloading == serious guys i aint hackin nothing i read some posts and thought they were so funny heheehheheheheheheh otf
just a little something to test = Xbox and PS3 Woow guys i tested WEP and had mine broked in like 20 seconds while they were on the wifi my eyes nearly fell out of my head found ps3 the quickest it was like command command broken ffs
What you're asking for is called "bandwidth aggregation" and "load balancing". You can aggregate the two data lines. Here's a link on how to do it using FreeBSD:
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
But this is subtly different to line bonding, which it sounds as if the OP is actually looking for, isn't it?
Load balancing will attempt to evenly distribute the data load throughout available bandwidth generally, for example with 2x 4mb lines one file download cannot exceed the 4mb capacity of one line and all other traffic may be shifted to the second line, allowing a greater "totally available" bandwidth, as opposed to a greater "singly available" bandwidth.
Whereas, in contrast, line bonding will actually make all of the total bandwidth available to even just one "connection", i.e. a single file download may be achieved at (theoretically) 8mb by using 2x 4mb lines.......
Is this more like "aggregated bandwidth"?
I looked at line bonding once and that is how I understood its principals, as compared to load balancing?
(I had intending to use 2x wic1-adsl cards in a Cisco router, using 2x 16mb lines, but it apparently required compliance on the IPS's part - although I never did check that the wic1-adsl's were actually adsl2/2+ compatible)
interesting i am now going to look into all the above and again thanks for the replys i am not really bothered about getting a top download speed from one file, but was thinking if i simply made or created 2 new ath0&1 from wifi0
and got them to connect to different ssid would this work before i go ahead and get another phone line connected to my home, another thought i had, how would i over come the problem say if i had a torrent client running or two different clients running and to get each client to run from a different connnection. would my wifi card allow this would i be able to configure my clients to connect to different connections.
thanks again
after reading that link this seems to be the way to go i am going to test it and again thanks alot

St. Louis • Colin Kaepernick blamed himself after losing for the first time as the San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback. It appears he will not be losing his job.
After the St. Louis Rams avoided a second tie with San Francisco with a 16-13 overtime victory on Sunday, coach Jim Harbaugh indicated he would be sticking with Kaepernick over former Utah star Alex Smith next week at home against the Dolphins.
"I'll let you know if there's a change, but right now I think it'll be the same as it was this week," Harbaugh said. "I'm proud of Kap, proud of the way he played. He handled himself well, gave our team a chance to win."
Harbaugh took the heat for Kaepernick's errant pitch in the fourth quarter that led to a 2-yard fumble return for touchdown by Janoris Jenkins. Combined with a 2-point conversion, that tied it at 10 with 3:04 to play. Harbaugh said it was "the wrong play to call at the time."
"I would have loved to have that one back, but don't blame the players on that one," Harbaugh added.
Kaepernick also gave up a safety when he was whistled for intentional grounding in the end zone. Though he rallied the 49ers to a go-ahead field goal late in regulation, he felt the sting of defeat.
"I gave up those points that were on the scoreboard for the Rams, so that's 100 percent on me," Kaepernick said. "I've just got to keep working. There's nothing more you can do than keep working and get ready for next week."
Leading 10-2, Kaepernick was well off the mark on a pitch to Ted Ginn Jr. from the San Francisco 17 on third-and-3, and Jenkins fell on it at the 2 before flopping into the end zone.
Tight end Lance Kendricks beat coverage from Patrick Willis on the 2-point conversion as the Rams succeeded even after a false start penalty on tackle Rodger Saffold.
"I just pitched it high," Kaepernick said. "It was my fault all the way, I gave up those points that were on the scoreboard for the Rams, so that's 100 percent my fault."
Greg Zuerlein kicked a 54-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in overtime. The rookie's winning kick came after he sent the game into overtime with a 53-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.
The Rams (5-6-1) have won two straight after an 0-4-1 skid.
The 49ers (8-3-1) failed to take advantage of a 14-yard punt by rookie Johnny Hekker to midfield when David Akers was barely wide right on a 51-yard attempt with 4:11 to go in overtime. Akers is just 7 for 15 from 40 yards and beyond.
Zuerlein is 7 for 11 from the 50 and beyond and had plenty of distance on the kick on fourth-and-inches. Before the 53-yarder at the end of regulation, he had missed four of his previous seven attempts including a 58-yarder near the end of the half.
Most of the game was a defensive struggle, nothing like the 24-24 tie in San Francisco. Michel Crabtree was a rare offensive standout with seven catches for 101 yards, while St. Louis rookie Chris Givens had 11 receptions for 92 yards.
Akers' 33-yard field goal put the 49ers ahead with 1:38 remaining, a score set up by Kaepernick's 50-yard carry on a rollout. It left just enough time for Sam Bradford to guide the Rams 45 yards in seven plays.
The 49ers' Frank Gore scored the only offensive touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run late in the first quarter. Kaepernick's run to the St. Louis 14 at the two-minute warning behind a convoy that included Gore, who upended linebacker Rocky McIntosh.
The Rams failed on fourth-and-1 from the 4 earlier in the game when Bradford couldn't connect with Austin Pettis in the right corner of the end zone against double coverage, leaving them with nothing to show for their best possession of the game.
