March 17, 2013 9:00pm-9:30pm PDT
9:00 pm
danny came on in january and had to pull himself up to speed. many of you have seen his bullet points to all the offices. he did an outstanding job breaking down a complex plan in a way everyone can understand. i want to recognize all of the many hours that he's put in over the last couple of weekends and nights to get this ready for today. but, colleagues, i really do appreciate this discussion. i think it's a very important discussion to have. it actually makes me very excited that we can have a conversation around the planning of our city, which impacts our economy and enforce our growth. as i asked before, i would love your support on the plan today. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor. unless there are any other comments, madam clerk, let's take the roll. >> on items 19 through 22, supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang? tang aye. supervisor wiener? wiener no. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye.
9:01 pm
supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. there are 10 ayes and one no. >> the ordinance is passed on first read. colleagues, we have one 2:30 special accommodation. i'd like to acknowledge supervisor mar. >> thank you, president chiu. colleagues, i wanted to ask if an incredible teacher parent organization could come up and join us up here at the podium. we have the principal of argon elementary school [speaker not understood] and noah is here i believe and a number of great parent leaders from argon elementary school on 18th avenue and cabrillo in the richmond district. i say it's an incredible pto, parent teacher organization, because they've been dreaming not only their school, but their whole neighborhood. not only educating the students and parents, but all of our residents in the richmond
9:02 pm
district. and about two years ago i stood with our dpw director mohammed nuru and neighbors and parents as we announced in a major greater green project in the city that was hopefully a model for other neighborhoods as well as argon parents and community transformed ugly concrete into something really beautiful and a great teaching tool as well. there is an edible garden there now, a great mural, and they haven't stopped there. they've continued to green their school and the neighborhood is involved people in this process. most specifically the greater green program enabled parents, teachers and students to transform their neighborhood into a more environmentally conscious community and school. the progress also continues with a community challenge grant that they were awarded and working with the department of public works to install a
9:03 pm
lively garden on cabrillo street filled with native plants for everyone to enjoy. they have an edible school yard. they are working -- i was playing on their recent play structure. grown ups aren't supposed to do that, but i had the honor of joining a few kids. i know as kids learn to play safer on the structure, it's really an important learning process as well. they also have a great project -- oh, i forgot to mention that the greater green project removed another part of it will remove a portion of their blacktop which is concrete from their school's yard and replace it with plants and solar panels for the 438 students to better understand green energy and clean energy in san francisco and its role in sustainable future for our city and our society. furthermore, the organization is now working with the presida
9:04 pm
eyes muralist in bernal heights who helped beautify our city with murals all over the city and public art as well. and the parents and students and community are creating a new mural on the campus that will give the history the natural and hopefully sustainable history of the richmond district and our city. it's really incredible, it includes small businesses to some of our big icons from the richmond district all over, but especially a history and a beautiful telling of the story by third graders like noah and other students and all the parents that nurture them as well. really, the mural will help exemplify the rich culture and diversity of the richmond district and our city. with that said, i just wanted to now recognize argon elementary school parent teacher organizations as an excellent symbol of greening our school yards, connecting with our neighborhood, our city departments, and really promoting a model of greening
9:05 pm
for our entire city. so, i'll introduce tina [speaker not understood] who is one of the leaders of the parents who is here with her son noah and she shares the green argon school committee. ~ chairs also the principal of argon and the parents here with them. so, tina? can we get the microphone? >> it's live. >> it's live? okay. well, supervisor eric mar and esteemed members of the board of supervisors, on behalf of all of us at argon elementary school, i want to fares our deepest appreciation for the honor to come before you today. i remember nine years ago the last time i was in this room testifying, i was pregnant with noah, and he's here with me again today to hear the story of how we got to this place. about four years ago when noah was admitted to argon, the school yard was a vast expanse of asphalt. i envisioned something
9:06 pm
different for noah and thinks classmates. a garden with earth worms, bees and poppies. at the time the state of california and san francisco unified were facing the largest budget cuts in their history. so, how were we going to get our garden? it took two years of intensive community organizing, reaching out to our staff and parent community, and seeking allies around the city to finally get a major break. argon was invited to become a democrat on -- demonstration site for the city. we received our first community challenge grant. 3-1/2 years later we are part of an incredible community that has worked tremendously hard to raise money from grants and put in countless volunteer hours to transform our public school. together we built the california native sidewalk garden, an edible vegetable garden and just broke ground for a small fruit orchard and
9:07 pm
peace garden. at the corners of our school yard. ~ argon kids are no longer apprehensive of pulling a stalk of broccoli and00 muching on it or watching a bee pollinating, but rather are inspired by what they're learning in their outside classroom. the san francisco community challenge grant program has made it possible for us to exceed our expectations in just a few short years, and this april my son noah and his sister leila will be joined by argon's 4 36 other students to create a community mural that celebrates not only the history ~, but also the very richness of our rich mopped community, our neighborhood that we call home. we're deeply indebted to our many, many allies and partners, including supervisor mar who believes the public school program deserves not only
9:08 pm
quality education in the classroom, but an enriching learning and play environment that inspires them every day. thank you very much. and i'd now like to introduce an inspiring leader and a partner from our school principal, tammy [speaker not understood]. >> supervisor mar and the san francisco board of supervisors, [speaker not understood] argon elementary, it is a tremendous honor to accept your commendation. the vision of creating outdoor learning spaces, our staff's commitment to project-based learning, along with the city's generous support of our school made these projects possible. visiting argon elementary, you discover that our students are not only learning within the classroom setting, but they are connecting and applying new learning outside the classroom in our gardens, and with the mural design process. math measurement lessons begin
9:09 pm
to make sense when students discuss volume and length when creating and caring for container gardens, with new beet and chard seedling. they are moved to write poetry as they use all five senses as they experience their garden spaces. studying the life cycle of local insects increases environmental stewardship as students seek to protect these little creatures. and san francisco history takes on new meaning when designing a mural that highlights both city and neighborhood significance, significance protecting popular locales such as sutro, green apple books and, of course, joe's ice cream shop. ultimately our gardens and mural inspired our students a sense of pride in our school and the learning it represents. it is this pride that extends to the greater community and
9:10 pm
truly celebrates the unique and meaningful opportunities and experiences a public school offers. we are so grateful for your support of argon. (applause) >> thank you, supervisor mar. colleagues, why don't we go to our 3:00 p.m. special item around cpmc and let's start first by calling item number 30 from the adoption calendar.
9:11 pm
>> time 30 is a motion directing the board of supervisors to hold a public hearing on march 12, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. with the board sitting as a committee of the whole to consider adopting a resolution endorsing a term sheet for revisions to a proposed development agreement for the long range development plan for the california pacific medical center. >> colleagues, this is the item simply to allow us to sit at 3:00 p.m. to consider this as a committee of the whole. let me ask if there are any members of the public that wish to speak with regards to simply the motion of whether we should sit. okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, if you could call the roll on this motion. >> on item 30, supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang? tang aye. supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? >> what are we -- >> on item 30, a motion to sit as a committee of the whole. breed aye.
9:12 pm
supervisor campos in campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. there are 11 ayes. >> motion passes. and with that, madam clerk, could you call the 3:00 p.m. special order items 23, 24. >> item 23 and 24 are the board of supervisors sitting as a committee of the whole for a hearing of persons interested in the proposed resolution endorsing a term sheet and revisions to the proposed development agreement with the california pacific medical center long range development plan, including the new hospital at the cathedral hill and st. luke's campuses with any final development agreement subject to the approval of the planning commission's municipal transportation agency and the board of supervisors. item 24 is a resolution endorsing a term sheet for revisions to a proposed development agreement with the california pacific medical center for the long-range development plan. >> thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, this is what i would propose as far as the
9:13 pm
agenda for this hearing. first if there are any colleagues who would like any -- like to make opening remarks. we'd like to entertain that and then we will ask ken rich from the administration to give the staff presentation on the term sheet. we will then also hear briefly part from project sponsor from warren brenner and there will be an opportunity, colleagues, if you have questions to city staff on this topic. at that time we will then take public comment, and then we will proceed with disposing of the item that we have in front of us. so, unless there are any questions, the only thing i'd like to state at the outset, colleagues, last week, supervisors farrell campos and i described her during roll call some of the high-level points of this deal, but we look forward to hearing much more fuller explanation from ken rich. ~ i just want to state again a hearty thanks for everyone who got us to where we are today. someone who i do not think is with us today, but who is incredibly responsible for where we got was the mediator,
9:14 pm
lou gerardo who very a adroitly worked with all of us to move us forward. again, want to thank supervisors farrell and campos for all the time they put in, ken rich has spent an incredible amount of time over the last few years as will be apparent from his presentation. also want to thank dr. bronner, my cohort from cpmc center. i also want to take a moment to acknowledge the coalitions that came together under san franciscans for housing, health care, jobs and justice. there were three coalitions that joined together representing over 50 community organizations and unions. and i want to take a moment just to thank kevin walsh from chu-chu, [speaker not understood], [speaker not understood] from bernal heights neighborhood center, emilie lee from cpa, james tracy why from community housing partnership, paul kumar from nuhw, bob prentiss who was a member of the blue ribbon panel, [speaker
9:15 pm
not understood] former health commissioner and also another member of the blue ribbon panel, ken barnes, st. lukes doctor, also blue ribbon panel. professor hair aston at the [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood] from cna. as well as michael lion from gray pantherses. and i mention them in part because all of you ~ were really truly instrumental in the last few years at helping us understand issues from the community perspective. i probably missed some names and i apologize for that, but i just want to give my deep felt thanks to all of you in the community who worked hard to get us to where we are today. we still, regardless of what happens today, have a long ways to go and the conversations will continue. but i just wanted to acknowledge folks up at the start. and with that, supervisor campos. >> thank you, mr. president. i want to echo your remarks around the community of partners that have been working on this for so many years. and, you know, there have been so many people that have been
9:16 pm
involved and i would be remiss if i didn't mention also the work of former colleagues including supervisor now assembly member tom ammiano who worked very hard to protect st. lukes as well as supervisor machaela alioto-pier. i know we're going to hear from folk today, but i do think this is in many respects a victory to this community that organized around this issue. and i also want to take this opportunity to thank cpmc and i know we're going to hear from them. but the reality is there are many people at cpmc including dr. bronner and his team who helped to make this happen and i especially want to acknowledge my co-help who i think was really instrumental in this process. i don't think that we'd be here without his participation. the last thing that i would say is, you know, as was noted by the three of us who worked on
9:17 pm
this project with the mayor's office, i'm very supportive of this, of this deal and i think it's a very good deal for the city and county of san francisco. but i also think that separate and apart from that, that it's really important for all of us collectively to come together and the fact remains that there are still some outstanding issues. and i really encourage the parties to make sure that those issues are resolved. you know, we cannot, i think, sit here and be completely happy and thrilled about where we are unless we know that we're taking care of everyone who is a part of this system. and that includes the workers. and i especially want to acknowledge the work of california nurses association because they are largely responsible like all the workers at cpmc for the success of this system. and i want to make sure of that, and i'm hopeful that at some point there will be a resolution of those issues. i think that all of us as a city will benefit once that
9:18 pm
resolution takes place. thank you. >> supervisor farrell. >> thank you, president chiu. and just to follow-up in echoing your comments, i see the cpmc folks here, particularly dr. bronner and my michael hill, thank you guys so much for your support. we can't talk enough about lou girard owe who helped this project get to where we are today. i think a person who will take a lot of time on the mic now, particularly want to call ken rich. colleagues, you need to know ken was with us every step of the way, every hour of the way when we were working on this project. kudos to you, ken, thank you for your hard work on this issue and look forward to the dialogue here. >> so, colleagues, unless there are any opening comments, let me ask ken rich who i know has circulated a written presentation. if you could walk through the presentation. >> good afternoon, supervisors. ~ i'm ken rich with the office of economic and work force development. i'm very happy to be here today
9:19 pm
and pretty sure it will go better than the last time. we are here to present to you the results of several months of intense, but ultimately fruitful discussions that took place between supervisors chiu, campos and farrell, the mayor's office and mike co-hill and [speaker not understood] of cpmc. they were moderate bid lou gerardo. without him i don't think we would be here today as has already been acknowledged. these discussions youthv ma thely resulted in a new physical proposal [ultimately dash~ and a new term sheet both of which will be presented here today. as you know this project was heard in the middle of this year as indicated on this slide. ~ here are the relevant physical dimensions describing the previous project as compared to the currently proposed project. you can see the new proposed ka shoe doctoral hill hospital is significantly reduced in number of beds and overall building size. st. luke's hospital is now
9:20 pm
proposed at 50% larger, 120 beds instead of 80 beds. per the agreement, cpmc may build space in the new cathedral hill hospital for an additional 30 beds bringing it up to 304, but may not put these into use until st. luke's hospital is at 75% utilization of beds. so, that is the overall change in the physical dimensions of the project. just to follow-up on that, the new proposed project reflects a smaller city-wide bed total for cpmc in the future, 524 under the new proposal as compared with 76 5 under the old proposal. note that both of these numbers include 130-bed dailies as exist now and will continue to exist. this is a good point -- at this point to introduce warren bronner from cpmc who will talk briefly about cpmc's revised plan of operation within the city after he does that, i'll
9:21 pm
come back and run through the rest of the term sheet. >> thanks, ken. good to be back, president chiu, members of the board. i apologize i have to wear my glasses because this is far away. as you all know, after several months of rather intense negotiations we're here today to present an agreement we hope will ensure quality health care for san francisco's future. as we move forward today, we are moving closer to opening two new hospitals with 400 earthquake-safe beds. cpmc is proud of the quality health care we've been delivering to san franciscans for the past 150 years, and we're delighted that this plan puts us on the path for another 150 years. all the same reasons apply today as to why building two new earthquake-safe hospitals is so important as they have for several years. first, of course, it's required
9:22 pm
by state law, equally important it's the right thing for us to do, to build and prepare our hospitals now. in the interim, san francisco has not moved magically further away from the san andreas or hayward faults. in the next big earthquake is really another question of if, but a question of when. second, while the health care landscape changes consistently, those coming in the next few years will be especially profound. for example, the affordable care act means 4 million more californians will have access to insurance through the california health benefits exchange and the expansion of the medi-cal program. in addition, the future of health care must emphasize prevention, outpatient and community services, and a comprehensive network of care. our health care delivery systems must focus on managing patient needs across many setting, from primary care to
9:23 pm
outpatient, inpatient, from routine to urgent, to emergency. our proposed facilities do differ from those for the plans that we developed several years ago, the more modest plans for cathedral hill also reflect our concerns about the affordability of our project due in part to delays that you are all familiar with. what is in front of you today supports cpmc's projected ability to take care of our patients. this plan includes 2 74 beds at the cathedral hill campus, and 120 beds at st. luke's. and as you heard, this represents a 50% reduction at cathedral hill and a 50% increase at st. luke's. the cathedral hill campus which will be our largest campus will be centrally located at the corner of geary and van ness and will continue to be the home for most of our tertiary
9:24 pm
and quaternary demographics. more and more people are and will living and working south of market. our revised plan with a larger hospital on the st. luke's campus reflects those changes. in addition, the plans for medical office buildings at cathedral hill, st. luke's and davies will provide space for our doctors and caregivers. we are eager to get going. indeed, being able to start our projects before the economy finishes its recovery has allowed us to provide substantial community benefit. beyond those building two new hospitals in the areas of health care, affordable housing, transportation, neighborhood improvements, and work force development. as you've heard, we could not have can you have to this place today without the willingness of the mayor's office, especially ken, and supervisors chiu, campos, and farrell to engage in countless hours of negotiations under the leadership and mentor ship of lou gerardo.
9:25 pm
now that we've reached agreement on a term sheet, we hope the board will vote to move this project forward, thus enabling us to build these two new world class hospitals. we look forward to moving quickly toward beginning construction and getting shovels into the ground. thank you. >> thank you, dr. bronner. back to mr. rich. >> some general points about the term sheet as we start to go through it. the resolution before you is a nonbinding endorsement of the term sheet that we've negotiated with cpmc. it directs staff to go back and complete or revise development agreement based on these terms. today is not a final approval from the board. the project under the development agreement must still go back to the planning commission and then come back to the board of supervisors, and i'll show a schedule for that at the end. so, these are the key points of the new agreement.
9:26 pm
first, a significantly larger st. luke's hospital, 120 versus 80 beds, and a significantly smaller cathedral hill hospital, 2 74, up to 304 beds versus 555. st. luke's hospital will be an integral part of the cpmc system 25% of the bed in the city. cpmc will be obligate today continue providing specified level of charity care to the needy san franciscans with no reference to cpmc's financial conditions or projections. and last, about 80 million in cash for community benefits is part of the agreement related to health care, transportation, work force training, affordable housing and pedestrian safety. so, starting with st. luke's, which has always been the center point of this whole agreement, st. luke's will be a 120-bed general acute care hospital with an emergency department. cpmc must open st. luke's hospital within a specified
9:27 pm
number of months after opening the new cathedral hill hospital. instead of the previous 80 beds st. luke's hospital with a 20-year operating covenant, st. luke's at 120 beds is a more sustainable and comprises almost 25% of cpmc's beds in the city. st. luke's will be required to have service of excellence in senior and community health with services specified in the development agreement. and st. luke's will be required to provide all the standard services found in general acute care hospital as specified under state law. moving on to the st. luke's medical office building, a medical office building at st. luke's is entitled as part of this process. cpmc is obligated under the term sheet and the development agreement within five years at the latest to begin construction of a new medical office building on the site of the old hospital. or offer the site to the city for the purpose of constructing such a facility. and this is essentially the
9:28 pm
same as in the previous agreement. like st. luke's, provision of baseline care for the poor and under served is a central part of this agreement. this time around we have negotiated a new and we think better way of defining this obligation. instead of using a dollar amount subject to inflation and link to cpmc's financial performance, we have negotiated a set number of patients. either charity care or medi-cal with cpmc must care for every year. this is defined as the average number of patients cared for in the last three years and is approximately 30,000 patients a year. in addition to -- for this 30,000 patients per year, cpmc is obligate today provide $8 million per year in cash for services to the poor and under served. and again, just to reiterate, these commitments are absolute and do not depend on any external circumstances.
9:29 pm
going on to the new medi-cal [speaker not understood], you will remember in the last agreement cpmc was responsible for being the hospital partner for a number of new -- of net new medi-cal beneficiaries. this is over and above the baseline commitment discussed on the last slide. this means that cpmc will work with primary health care providers and provide care for medi-cal patients when they need hospitalization. the obligation and the term sheet is 5400 beneficiaries for 10 years, at least 1500 of which must come through a provider that serves the tenderloin. expenditures for this are capped at 5 million per year, increasing each year. and i do want to note before moving on to the next subject that this is sort of an arcane health care issue and if anyone has questions on what we mean by the medi-cal [speaker not understood], we have myself and staff from public health here to answer those.

Review for Freedom Alliance, Dulles, VA, USA
Freedom Alliance is one of the best organizations I've ever worked with. From being a part of troop appreciation dinners & benefit concert tours to observing office time & policy writing this team literally breaths supporting the military in every way possible. They are great people with hearts that are bigger than most and wounded vets, active military and military families certainly have the greatest of advocates in Freedom Alliance.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
spending time with troops and their families that have benefited from the services Freedom Alliance provides.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
get more funding so that more troops can be helped.

10 places with gorgeous weather, all the time
Australia is known as a land of extremes, but away from the tropical north and rugged interior deserts, the weather is quite pleasant. Winters are cool, but never cold, and summers along the southern and southeastern coasts are rarely overly hot. Australia's largest city, Sydney, boasts average summertime highs in the mid-70s, with winter lows dropping into the high 40s and rising to into the 60s during the daytime. While rainfall can happen at any time of year and recent, rare heat waves saw daily highs rise above 100 degrees, odds are very good that you will encounter pleasant conditions no matter what time of year you arrive in Sydney.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Injectors on 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD
Just found out that water is pumping into #5 cylinder. All 8 injectors were replaced 50,000 miles ago in 2004. Water pump was replaced 3 weeks ago. What is causing water to be pumped into cylinders? Estimate is $5,000 to repair.
Water in a cylinder is normally from a cracked head or a leaking headgasket. What is the estimate for?
Bret is right, did your engine overheat recently? The shop can do a cooling system pressure test and compression test to help determine the source of the leak
Sorry to hear about your truck. I've always heard the Duramax engines were solid diesels. It's good to hear they're trying to help you out, hopefully there will be some goodwill. Head gaskets are a huge job for the diesels. Let us know how it turns out
Engine has not overheated ever. They will have to remove the engine to get to the head. Of course the warranty has run out. Talked to first level GMAC rep who is now passing it on to the next higher level. This shouldn't be happening at only 74,000 miles.
this engine has a warranty for 100,000 miles...is it under 100,,000

Former coach has Fukudome thriving
Working with Sasaki, Cubs outfielder regains his stroke
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
The good news for the Cubs is that Sasaki doesn't expect to hear those types of queries this year.
Fukudome struggled in his first season in the Major Leagues with the Cubs, batting .257, including a .217 average in the second half. This offseason, Fukudome contacted Sasaki, who has worked with the outfielder since 2001, and was his hitting coach with the Chunichi Dragons when he won the Central League batting title in '02. That year, Fukudome hit .343 and led the league with 42 doubles.
The two talked this winter, and Sasaki, a former Japan League player and manager, was confident Fukudome could return to his old form. They met in February and began to work together. Some days, Fukudome would take 300 swings in the cage.
"The first year he had, I thought he could hit more than .300," Sasaki said. "But around May [last year], when he had problems with the [right] elbow, he started using different mechanics with his swing. That [problem] kept going throughout the season."
Fukudome had undergone surgery on his right elbow in August 2007, which limited him to 81 games that season. He never used it as an excuse, but the elbow may have been one of the reasons he struggled last season. Sasaki could see that Fukudome had altered his mechanics.
"I think this year, he's ready to swing," Sasaki said. "That's why people may think he's aggressive. Without [the elbow problems], he's ready to swing. Last year, because of it, he wasn't doing well."
Sasaki was in Chicago on the Cubs' just completed homestand, a 4-1 stretch against San Diego and Houston, to work again with Fukudome. Early Sunday, before many of the players had their first cup of coffee, the two were in the batting cage at Wrigley Field.
"I don't believe that Japanese players, we can go with just power," Sasaki said through Fukudome's interpreter, Hiro Aoyama. "We need to use something else and how we can do that is an important thing. That's the mechanics of the swing -- you use momentum."
Cubs manager Lou Piniella has complimented Fukudome on his approach this year, and has been using the Japanese outfielder in the No. 3 spot in the lineup. The Cubs want Fukudome to get on base and set up Derrek Lee, Milton Bradley and Geovany Soto. The extra hitting, plus a healthier Fukudome, seem to have helped. Fukudome batted .338 in April with four home runs and 15 RBIs. In his first month last season, he hit .327 with one home run and 10 RBIs.
This month, he's hitting .326; he hit .293 in May 2008. What's more encouraging is Fukudome's on-base percentage of .454, which leads the team and ranks third in the National League.
Sasaki felt Fukudome needed to change his mechanics. It wasn't a major adjustment, but a little thing that the coach said was important.
"Because of the elbow, he couldn't extend his arm fully," Sasaki said. "What he needed to do was sway a little bit so his upper body would come together. He was going open all the time. He didn't have the power translate from the legs into the back [and upper body]."
Because Fukudome was using more of his upper body, he lost some power. Sasaki used the example of a boxer. If a fighter only uses his upper body to punch someone, and the lower body isn't involved, obviously, there isn't much power in the punch.
On Sunday, Sasaki was behind the batting cage while the Cubs were hitting, explaining the same concept to Houston's Kaz Matsui. The soon-to-be 60-year-old coach, who is trim and in fighting shape himself, was punching in the air, then swinging a bat to show Matsui what he meant.
However, Sasaki, once a teammate of Phillies manager Charlie Manuel in Japan, is only working with Fukudome, not other Japanese players. Sasaki left Chicago with a stack of disks that show Fukudome's swing. He will get more DVDs from time to time so he can follow the outfielder's progress during the season, and will return in July for another session. Sasaki has some homework to do.
"Everybody in Japan asks," Sasaki said about Fukudome's first season in the U.S.
Fukudome was a career .305 hitter in nine seasons in Japan, winning MVP honors in 2006. Could he win a batting title with the Cubs?
"I believe he has a shot at that," Sasaki said, "but he probably needs to spend a little more time in Major League Baseball to understand the pitchers well. I think he's smart enough to do that. The accumulation of knowledge of Major League Baseball pitchers will give him a chance."

I don't think Harley makes any, but I know there is a world of after market stuff out there. I thought I may have some luck there. By the way, for the 15 minutes I rode the heritage, it wasn't any more difficult to handle than my sporty... a true pleasure. Still need to test ride a road king, though. thanks Drew

Pope Benedict XVI's itinerary for his March 2012 visit to Mexico and Cuba was released Jan. 2 through Vatican Radio.
He will leave Rome on March 23 and arrive in the city of Leon, Mexico where President Felipe Calderon, Archbishop José Martín of Leon and representatives of the Mexican Bishops' Conference will officially receive him.
The Pope will stay at the residence of the Sisters of Miraflores College in Leon, according to Vatican Radio's unofficial translation of press releases from the bishops' conferences of Mexico and Cuba.
On March 24 the pontiff will have an official meeting with President Calderon and his delegation at the Conde Rul House, the seat of the Guanajuato state government—the state that Leon is located in. He will then greet and bless children and the faithful who are gathered in La Paz square.
On Sunday, March 25, Pope Benedict will celebrate Mass at the municipality of Silao's Bicentennial Park, at the foot of Cubilete Hill. The monument to Christ the King stands atop the hill.
He will then celebrate vespers at Leon's cathedral and deliver a message to the bishops of Mexico and other representatives of the bishops' conferences of Latin America and the Caribbean.
On the morning of March 26, high-ranking Mexican civil and religious authorities will say farewell to the Pope at Leon airport, as he leaves for Cuba.
Pope Benedict will arrive in Cuba's city of Santiago, where he will be officially received by President Raul Castro, Archbishop Dionisio Guillermo García Ibáñez of Santiago, and members of Cuba's Catholic bishops' conference.
The Pope will celebrate a sunset Mass in Antonio Maceo Revolution Square to mark the Solemnity of the Annunciation. After Mass he will go to El Cobre, where he will stay at a priests' residence.
On March 27, Pope Benedict will make a private visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba, where he will pray for a few minutes before the image of the Virgin.
He will then travel to Havana's José Martí Airport, where he will be welcomed at noon by Archbishop of Havana Cardinal Jaime Ortega, the archdiocese's auxiliary bishops, and other religious and civil authorities.
In the afternoon he will visit President Castro for an official meeting, and at dusk he will meet with all the Catholic bishops of Cuba at the papal nunciature.
On the morning of March 28 he will preside at Mass in José Martí Revolution Square before returning to the nunciature. The Pope's visit to Cuba will end with an official farewell ceremony at José Martí Airport.
Pope Benedict confirmed that he would visit the two countries on Dec. 12 , saying, "With this strong desire, and supported by the aid of divine providence … I have the intention to undertake an apostolic journey before holy Easter to Mexico and Cuba to proclaim the word of Christ."
He said his planned trip was based on his conviction that the present is "a precious time to evangelize" in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Nose initially a little adelhydic and worrying, though curiously this seems to low off and the wine isn't actually poxed but it is overly mature and tiring. A sense of sweetness to it too. Some minerality, the riper frame that GC tends to in its maturity with more than a nod towards the Côte d'Or, but also a simplicity, lack of grip and length that makes this an acceptable drink but not exciting. 10/12. Of the ten to date, three clear poxes, three or four also-rans (to varying degrees) and two or three absolutely stellar IIRC. Ho hum. I've had much better luck with the 99 Clos and both Clos and Preuses in 2000. ***1,799 views

North Queensland redclaws have doubled in size after a five year breeding program to strengthen genetics.
The Queensland Crayfish Farmers Association joined forces with James Cook University to reduce disease and inbreeding on eight redclaw farms.
Julia Creek farmer Duncan Fysh participated in the breeding program and says the results have been outstanding.
President of the Association, John Stevenson, says they've used European incubators to revolutionise the QLD redclaw industry.
"We did this by breeding the best crays from 11 different sources.
"We actually imported incubator technology from Europe, we took the eggs from the females and hatched them in the incubator.
"We were getting up to 1000 juveniles hatch per female, normally you'd be lucky to get 50."
Redclaw is currently selling for 34 dollars per kilogram in Cairns.
The research program was funded by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation.

Fans have been waiting to see Lombard at 170 pounds for awhile and will finally get their wish in a few weeks. Better yet, Lombard's divisional debut will come against a veteran like Marquardt who is also a former middleweight and has a similar skill-set. Both men like to throw strikes with bad intent but aren't afraid to go to the ground either. Adding intrigue, each is backed into a corner based on recent performances, and the loser in their collision could very well find himself seeking employment elsewhere shortly thereafter. (UFC 166 – October 19)
There are plenty of prime pairings on tap for next month's slate of UFC shows including a title-fight and some clashes with contendership implications. However, a significant number of showdowns set for the preliminary portion of October's events come with the potential to have fans forgetting about the main card match-ups based on the likelihood for delivering a high dose of entertainment. While the undercard bouts attached to UFC Fight Night 29, UFC 166, and UFC Fight Night 30 may not feature the UFC's biggest stars, but they definitely involve some of the brightest.

Sedgefield MP Phil Wilson in warning to Government over pensions reform
8:00pm Tuesday 25th March 2014
By Robert Merrick
8:00pm Tuesday 25th March 2014
By Robert Merrick
THE Chancellor's pensions revolution risks fuelling a disastrous new house-price boom, one of the region's MPs has warned.
Sedgefield's Phil Wilson became one of the first Labour MPs to argue that giving pensioners total freedom over their retirement savings could backfire without other reforms.
Mr Wilson stressed he agreed that politicians should "trust the people" – George Osborne's mantra, in scrapping compulsory annuities.
But he warned: "I do not have a problem with trusting the people - I have a problem with trusting the financial services industry.
"I understand why the Chancellor made his announcement, but I feel that his proposals are treating the symptoms and not curing the disease.
"What are they doing to ensure that 40 per cent of the retirement or savings pot will not be lost in hidden fees in the future?
"What are they going to do to ensure that the financial services industry does not come up with mis-sold financial products, as it has in the past?"
Mr Wilson, speaking in the Budget debate in the Commons, also echoed widespread fears after the Treasury said pensioners might wish to pump their savings into property.
And he called for the UK to look to countries such as Holland and Denmark, which had built "collectivist" pension systems, which shared risk and kept fees low.
The speech came amid fierce debate within Labour about whether to back the pensions revolution, which has given the Conservatives a 'Budget bounce' in the polls.
David Cameron accused Labour of "dithering", after work and pensions spokeswoman Rachel Reeves backed the idea, but then appeared to backtrack.
Every year, about 420,000 people buy annuities worth £14bn - which convert a person's pension savings into an income for the rest of their life.
But falling interest rates and rising longevity have sent payouts to historic lows, making them increasingly unpopular.

Dollar Collapse
February 14, 2012
Portugal, by general consensus, is next in line. It hasn't blatantly lied about its problems the way Greece has. And it hasn't accumulated quite as much debt as Greece, though at 105% of GDP its government is still deep in the danger zone.
But it doesn't export much and runs truly massive trade deficits. In order to pay down its debt it will need to generate trade surpluses going forward, but without the ability to devalue its currency to make exports cheaper, there's no way to accomplish this.
So as with Greece, austerity leads to depression:
Bailed-out Portugal's recession seen worsening
(AP) LISBON, Portugal — Portugal's recession will deepen this year under the weight of austerity measures meant to reduce public debt, the bailed-out country's central bank predicted Tuesday.
Portugal is trying to free itself from a huge debt burden that forced it to ask for a euro78 billion ($100 billion) financial rescue package last year to avoid bankruptcy.
But the Portuguese economy, one of the frailest among the 17 countries that use the euro as its currency, is buckling under the austerity cuts and fueling investor fears about the bloc's chances of recovery from its two-year-old sovereign debt crisis.
The central bank said in a report it expects the economy to contract 3.1 percent this year. Last October, it forecast a 2.2 percent contraction in 2012.
As in bailed-out Greece, the government faces a dilemma as it tries to cut spending while at the same time fostering the growth it needs to settle its debts.
The jobless rate has climbed to a record 13.2 percent, and trade unions have staged strikes and protests against tax hikes and pay and welfare cuts.
Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar told lawmakers Tuesday he planned no new austerity measures this year. He said any funding shortfall would be made up through the sale of state property and gambling concessions.
Portugal went into a double-dip recession last year, contracting 1.6 percent, the central bank said. The economy will be "virtually stagnant" in 2013, it said.
The debt crisis has caused Portuguese living standards to drop, with the central bank estimating that disposable income would decline 11 percent between 2011 and 2013 — the duration of the bailout agreement.
Depression, in turn, leads to chaos:
Lisbon Protests: More Than 100,000 Rally Against Austerity In Portugal
LISBON, Feb 11 (Reuters) – More than 100,000 people packed Lisbon's vast Palace Square on Saturday in the largest rally against austerity and economic hardships since the country resorted to an EU/IMF bailout last May, and organizers vowed to step up protests and labour action.

Jacksonville shooting victim Tonnetta Lee said she wonders what countless others from around the world are now asking: Why was her neighbor fired after coming to her rescue?
Colin Bruley, who carried his shotgun for protection as he went to Lee's aid, said he still can't get any answers that make sense. His employer, who owns the Arlington apartments where he lives and worked as a leasing agent, told him he violated a series of company policies. Those include having weapons in the workplace and failing to properly notify superiors after the June 12 incident. An internal company memo called his actions "gross misconduct."
Lee, shot during a domestic brawl, said she was still recovering in the hospital from the wound on her right leg when she learned Bruley lost his job.
"I told him, 'I thought you were going to go back to work as a hero and here you're fired,'" said Lee, 24. "That's really crazy."
Crazy is one of the many descriptions people from around the world have used to respond to Bruley's dismissal since the story ran in the Times-Union and Jacksonville.com on Monday and then was picked up Tuesday by the Drudge Report, a popular Web site.
Since then, Bruley has done interviews on nationally syndicated radio programs such as The Neal Boortz Show and a show sponsored by the National Rifle Association, has been sought for interviews by national television news and tabloid shows and has had non-stop calls and e-mails.
The story hit a record on Jacksonville.com with more than 485,000 page views, and the Times-Union received more than 300 e-mails from as far away as London and Australia - all but one in favor of Bruley. Many of the responders mentioned their support for Bruley to carry his weapon.
Bruley said people have offered to send him money, which he says he's refused, and at least two people have contacted him about a job.
"It's like I have family everywhere," said Bruley, 24, who has yet to find work.
Officials of the company that owns the apartments, the Oaks at Mill Creek, released a statement Tuesday night that said employees were trained to properly handle emergency situations, such as calling for help in a dangerous situations, and that weapons were not permitted in the workplace. The apartments are owned by Village Green Cos., based in Michigan.
"Our position is very simple - domestic matters and other similar types of issues are police matters," the statement said. "Village Green does not condone residents or employees jeopardizing their safety or the safety of others by intervening in police matters."
Bruley said he acted as a citizen when he left his apartment to help Lee just before 2 a.m. and would do it again.
Spokeswoman Andrea Roebker, said details behind Bruley's dismissal could not be discussed due to the company's confidentiality policy.
Lee said she was bleeding heavily from a damaged artery when she left her apartment and sought help. Despite her knocks on a neighbor's door, no one answered and she collapsed nearby. The next thing she knew, Bruley was there.
"He said, 'How's it going, Tonnetta?' and I said, 'Not so good right now,'" Lee said. "I was in shock."
She was taken to Shands Jacksonville hospital and released two days later. No arrests have been made.
Bruley said he was shaken after the incident and planned to call his superiors later that morning. He'd said they called him about 9:30 a.m., took a report and then called him back later to say he was fired.
Lee said she hopes Bruley will find a job soon. Meanwhile, she said she's so angry she no longer wants to live in the complex.
"I really do think he saved my life," Lee said. "He was helping a neighbor."

remember my bumbershoot needlework? (how could you forget. i mean, i wrote about it enough!) she returned to my home last week and she's now got her originally intended symbols in her word balloon.
she still has scars from where she was bumbershot but whatever. it's done. and now she can go live with someone else.
oh yeah, i also made some orange brownies.
the plush you opening was on friday night at schmancy, fancy and pants and it was INCREDIBLE! t and i got there a little early so she could peruse the plush without the crush of crowds. (she bought a cute little smore from alicia kachmar!)
here are some photos from the show. there are also more here as well.
we were there when the crowds started to arrive but you know me and my enochlophobia. that's how i ended up taking photos of the cute pots and owls that are available at fancy while leff, who had joined us, checked out the parts of the show he hadn't seen.
i think i need an owl and a skull pot.
do i need to remind you of how awesome the plush you show is? really, do yourself a favor and stop by the shops before the show is over. you'll thank me. here's a "you're welcome" in advance.
later that night we met up with c down on tourist blvd.
the reason? the crab pot!!
i can hear you screaming "why?!?" and i will tell you: because leff and c wanted to eat their way through "the seafest" which requires not only a bib
but small forks and mallets.
(mallets not pictured.)
the seafest, for those of you not from maryland (like leff), involves a bowl full of sea insects, corn, potatoes and sausage slices being dumped upon the table.
which is then devoured by two people who throw the remains of the exoskeletons of said sea insects into the bowl which has been placed upon the floor after the dumping of its contents.
it takes a while to finish.
and is quite hysterical to watch. ok, not really, but for some reason i really couldn't stop laughing. probably because we'd started the evening with t showing us this picture of a car she'd seen in ballard that had a large stick carefully placed inside it.
add to this the fact that we'd seen the opossum guy on second and you can kinda' see how strange things had gotten that friday.
saturday wasn't as bizarre. leff joined me on my trip to ballard to run errands and such. we walked to the locks since we'd never been there in the fall before. it's quite nice.
on our way back to nw market, we stopped by cafe sweet posie. i got a mexican chocolate cupcake which is delicious. it's slightly nutty and spicy with lots of quality chocolate.
leff got a raspberry scone which you won't get to see since my effing razr refuses to send that picture to my gmail account. (leff says it was a good scone, btw.)
two bits of graffiti
and a free cupcake royale harvest poster later (thanks, wendy and friends!!) we arrived home where i spent the rest of the day devouring the new jasper fforde book.
sunday has no photos because i made curried butternut squash soup and then developed a major migraine that has me feeling hungover this morning. which, you know, is fine because this post has gone on long enough! (apologies to n and m for having to cancel on the soup. we still have a lot left!)

Netflix, DreamWorks Team Up for Landmark Series
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and DreamWorks Animation (NASDAQ: DWA) are teaming up to develop a new animated series for kids.
The series will be based on Turbo, an animated flick due for release this summer, which tells the story of a snail whose dream is to become the fastest racer in the world.
"Families love Netflix, so creating an original series for kids was a natural for us. And we're doing it in a big way by adapting Turbo, this year's DreamWorks Animation summer tentpole movie," Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix, said in a company release. "DreamWorks Animation has a long track record of creating incredibly successful characters and stories that delight people of all ages. We're thrilled to add Turbo the series as well as all new DreamWorks Animation films, starting with their 2013 slate, to Netflix."
"Netflix boasts one of the largest and fastest-growing audiences in kids television," added Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, who was also quoted in a press release. "They pioneered a new model for TV dramas with House of Cards, and now together, we're doing the same thing with kids' programming. DreamWorks is thrilled to be part of the television revolution."
The series, Turbo: F.A.S.T. (Fast Action Stunt Team), will debut exclusively on Netflix this December. It will be available in the United States and 40 other countries across the globe.
While the film will debut in RealD (NYSE: RLD) 3D, the series will apparently stick to the two-dimensional format. Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, Snoop Lion and Samuel L. Jackson are among the actors providing their voices to the film. It is not yet known if any of them will return for the series.
DreamWorks is promoting Turbo: F.A.S.T. as a pseudo-sequel to the film, announcing that it will extend Turbo's "pursuit of racing greatness" and pick up where the movie leaves off.
In addition to the series announcement, Netflix said that it streamed more than two billion hours of kids content in 2012. The streaming video giant said that it curates its content in conjunction with ratings and reviews from Common Sense Media, a non-profit group.
Netflix jumped more than three percent on the DreamWorks deal but quickly declined to a 1.5 percent gain.

This year's Tour Divide Race has the largest number of racers ever and epic snow levels lead to the decision to allow the racers to follow an alternate route, bypassing the snow-choked passes of the Flathead Region. All racers but one, speeding southward, chose the Fernie Alternate Route, bypassing the Flathead Region. The one exception, Justin Simoni from Denver Colorado, is taking the long way, the hard way through the snow.
I know that Justin did not make this decision lightly or accidentally. What some may regard as foolhardy I can only regard as epic, honest and admirable. As of this writing Justin has made it about a third of the way through the Flathead Wilderness. Around midnight, he made it to the Butts Forest Service Cabin. This morning he is moving onward.
Signals reach out via the Spot Tracker and satellites to tell us of Justin's motion. Where he is now he cannot receive such technical reassurances from those of us who track him. He has the land, his gear, his wits and his resolve. And though I've never met Justin, I believe that these things will be enough to carry him past the drifts, doubt and difficulty. Because he chose the long way, the hard way.
Godspeed to all the racers, but I have to confess, I have a favorite now. His name is Justin Simoni. He is taking the long way, through the snow.

UnNews:Pat Robertson's Wax Likeness Loses Place in Christian Wax Museum

Virginia Beach-UNN – In a surprising move, the wax likenesses of the Christian Broadcaster's Wax Museum have voted to remove the life-like wax figure of God's Spokesman Pat Robertson from its display in its Virginia Beach, Virginia museum.
Robertson, founder of the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, was one of 38 statues vying for 33 display spaces during the CBWM's recent convention.
The museum represents mostly evangelical figures, cast in wax for all to enjoy.
While the members of the display were mostly mute on the topic, it was brought before the body that Robertson's likeness had been elected for display in 1976, however Robertson's spokesperson Jesus H. Christ confirmed that the wax likeness of Robertson had only been on display once in 30 years stating that "Mr. Robertson's wax likeness is a very busy wax likeness and is often called upon to stand in for Mr. Robertson at the hundreds of photo ops and obligations that he is expected to fulfill year round."
It is widely believed that the other wax likenesses of other upstanding Christian Broadcasters such as Benny Hinn and Jerry Falwell were uncomfortable with the threat that Robertson's likeness represented following comments made by the real life Robertson calling for the ethnic cleansing of Israelites from Israel, and demanding that the Spanish Monarchy send Conquistadors to reconquer Venezuela and infect the native populations with a lethal strain of the Christianity Plague.
Christ expects that Robertson's wax likeness will continue to serve the mission of the wax museum, and is "prepared to do all it can do to promote its feature success, providing that God doesn't send a lightning bolt to strike the building and burn it and all other Phyllis Stein designed wax figures into a fiery Hell of flames and meltingness."
When asked for a comment from the wax likeness of Robertson, Christ grabbed the microphone and stated that Robertson's likeness was "a God-endorsed lipid comprised of natural and synthetic waxes and other esters, and would thereby be unable to comment on his deinstallation at this time."

Hey I just need to know two things I couldn't find them through the search im sure because it is a simple thing to do but I want to make the menu items smaller so I can fit more across the top. Also If you see on my site it almost duplicates it right above it. I want to remove the duplication that is shown above the menu items. Heres my site solotraveltoday.com
Still waiting for a response lol
Figured it out =)
My last question, How do I change the font colors of the menu and their background colors? This I can't figure out
sorry to have missed your last question, good to see it's been solved.
This question has come up a lot, many topics about this can be found here.
The topic 'How do I size the Menu items?' is closed to new replies.

Grilled Chicken Strips
March 17th—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read; price & availability may have changed.
Trader Joe's Grilled Chicken Strips begin as unadorned, boneless, skinless chicken breast meat. They get a bit of salt, pepper and oil for flavor. And then they're grilled and sliced into strips. It's a simple process that results in simply delicious chicken that's moist, juicy and tender. And wouldn't you know it… those strips of moist, juicy, tender chicken are just wonderful on a pizza. Paired with Pesto, some Pignolias (Pine Nuts) and rounds of Ovoline Fresh Mozzarella, that's a pie we'd like to try! Don't limit yourself to our creations, though; start with Grilled Chicken Strips and construct your own creation, one strip at a time.
We're selling each 12 ounce package of Grilled Chicken Strips for $5.49. You'll find them in our refrigerated case.

The California Parole Board has recommended parole for convicted killer and
former Charles Manson associate, Bruce Davis.
Bruce Davis' 27th parole hearing was postponed back in June after Davis reported feeling ill, the L.A. County district attorneys office said.
During today's rescheduled hearing board members found Davis suitable for parole based on his positive adjustment, record of no recent disciplinary problems, and successful completion of academic and vocational education and self-help programs.
The suitability finding is subject to a 120-day decision
review period during which the Governor may reverse, modify, affirm or decline
to review the Boards decision.
Davis is serving 2 life sentences for the 1969 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea.
He was not involved in the infamous murders by Manson followers of actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles.
During his 40 years in prison, Davis became an ordained minister and earned master's degrees in philosophy and religion via a correspondence program.
He was recommended for parole in 2010, but his release was later blocked by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Davis was convicted of helping kill musician Gary Hinman in his Topanga Canyon home and former stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea, who lived in Manson's commune at the Spahn movie ranch in Chatsworth.
Schwarzenegger acknowledged that Davis had made "some credible gains" during his incarceration.
But in turning down the parole recommendation, he cited the "especially heinous" nature of the slayings and Davis' repeated efforts to minimize his involvement.

>In Defence of Libraries
15 Tuesday Feb 2011
Posted books, childhood, politics, the personal is politicalin
Amendment #35 would eliminate all IMLS funding specifically for libraries, and leave those that depend on library resources and services high and dry. Libraries not only breathe life into the souls of bibliophiles of all ages, they are a godsend for the poor who cannot afford their own computers or internet access, and rely on the public library in their community to ensure that they can access the internet for job hunting, government searches, and using the web to keep in contact with family, friends and loved ones. When I was internet-devoid for a while, my library proved an invaluable resource, especially during a period when I was filing for SSI benefits and needed to check my student email and use Blackboard. And blog for you dear readers of course.
This goes beyond shafting the poor though. I've come to expect that from the GOP. There's something considerably more sinister about wanting to dis-empower libraries. It is an attack on knowledge and love of learning (philio-sophos, do those words look familiar?) itself. It is an almost guaranteed way of ensuring a deepening poverty of the mind for the youth of America. When I was a child, books were my greatest friend. In a childhood characterized by isolation from my peers, I found solace in books, and when I would scroll down aisles glancing at the author's names on the spines, I dreamed of one day having my own name on a spine in the library.
So from an early age, books were my gateway to a love of writing and illustrating my own books (My greatest childhood memory is winning a prize at my school for a book I illustrated and wrote about a group of space girls travelling to all the different planets in the solar system. Back then, that included Pluto!) and offered me a comforting activity which instilled the germs from which curiosity, creativity and critical thinking emerged. Without those three C's, life would be considerably more colourless, cheerless, and confined to much greater limits.
I'm sure hoping that that's not what those who wish to cut the life out of libraries have in mind with this Amendment. But it is an inevitable side effect which will do more harm to the collective American childhood than any pennies saved ever could justify.
Protect our libraries and the bibliophiles to come who will need them.

For reasons of large body size, fast-moving predatory activities, large beak, relatively large brain, and an eye structure similar to that of humans, cephalopods rank among the most interesting of all marine invertebrates. A considerable mythology has developed around them. The first authentic photos of a living giant squid Architeuthis were obtained only in 2005, and there are reports of even larger deep sea-inhabiting squid species. Only 2 octopus species are commonly encountered on the northern parts of the west coast, the giant octopus1 Enteroctopus dofleini and the smaller Octopus rubescens. Two other species2, Octopus bimaculoides and O. bimaculatus, occur only in southern California and Baja California. Their distributions overlap but little is known of their ecological relationships. Several species of squids inhabit, or regularly visit or wash up on, west-coast shores, including the shallow-water Rossia pacifica, the oceanic squid Doryteuthis (Loligo) opalescens, and the deep-dwelling giant squid Moroteuthis robustus. An increasingly common visitor to west-coast shores, including British Columbia and southern Alaska in summer and early autumn, is the feisty Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas3, which likely follows incursions of warm-water northwards. Modest fisheryies for giant octopuses Enteroctopus dofleini exists in Alaska (landings of about 200 metric tonnes annually) and Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. Capture of squids Doryteuthis opalescens represents the largest fishery in California, with over 100,000 metric tonnes being harvested annually.
NOTE1 how "giant" is the giant octopus Enteroctopus dofleini? Specimens up to 40kg are commonly caught. The largest individual recorded anecdotally from northern British Columbia weighed in at 270kg with a tentacle spread of 9.7m.
NOTE2 how related are the west-coast species? This is investigated for the 4 species mentioned here, with the addition of a deep-water Californian species Octopus californicus, by researchers at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia. DNA-sequencing results suggest that O. bimaculoides and O. bimaculatus form their own clade, separate from a clade containing Enteroctopus dolfleini and O. californicus. Octopus rubescens is separate from the others, but possibly more closely aligned with the southern California group.
NOTE3 up to a decade ago sightings of Humboldt squids were mostly restricted to Mexico and southern California. More recently (summer 2009), it has been seen in numbers off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and occasionally in Alaskan waters. Researchers at DFO, Nanaimo, Canada have recently attached telemetry devices to a number of specimens caught off Vancouver Island, so further information on their movements may be forthcoming

Peace-prize winner approved drone strikes, read all about it.
Late last August, a 40-year-old cleric named Salem Ahmed bin Ali Jaber stood up to deliver a speech denouncing Al Qaeda in a village mosque in far eastern Yemen.
It was a brave gesture by a father of seven who commanded great respect in the community, and it did not go unnoticed. Two days later, three members of Al Qaeda came to the mosque in the tiny village of Khashamir after 9 p.m., saying they merely wanted to talk. Mr. Jaber agreed to meet them, bringing his cousin Waleed Abdullah, a police officer, for protection.
As the five men stood arguing by a cluster of palm trees, a volley of remotely operated American missiles shot down from the night sky and incinerated them all, along with a camel that was tied up nearby.
The killing of Mr. Jaber, just the kind of leader most crucial to American efforts to eradicate Al Qaeda, was a reminder of the inherent hazards of the quasi-secret campaign of targeted killings that the United States is waging against suspected militants not just in Yemen but also in Pakistanand Somalia.
Anger at America
In the days afterward, the people of the village vented their fury at the Americans with protests and briefly blocked a road. It is difficult to know what the long-term effects of the deaths will be, though some in the town

When you run HDtune benchmark and it does access time (the yellow dots), you can tell by the vertical width of that band of dots. This is because the width of the spread is the maximum drive latency, which is the time it takes for one revolution:i 1/rpm. If it is 7200 rpm, the width will be about 8 ms. If it is 5400 rpm, it will be about 11 ms in width. A fine distinction but you can see it. The first image below is a 7200 rpm WDC Black drive and the second a 5400 rpm WDC green drive:

Elsa Nilsson Quartet
Elsa Nilsson / Flutes and Voice
Jeff McLaughlin / Guitar
Alex Minier / Bass
Cody Rahn / Drums
Flutist and composer Elsa Nilsson's new album "Salt Wind" is a deeply personal expression with influences from every aspect of her colorful life. Born in Gothenburg, Sweden and raised by a California hippie, Nilsson had her feet planted in two very different cultures, leading her to seek commonalities wherever she can find them. She believes the true beauty of music is its ability to create common ground, and she weaves all kinds of folk music (including jazz) to find a deeper understanding between people and cultures. This cross-cultural philosophy is evident in her compositional style, subtly drawing from personal and universal elements to create a sound that is distinctly her own yet approachable from many angles.
Nilsson started her love affair with music in her father's ex-Navy choir and playing piano as a small child, but it wasn't until age fourteen, when her father broke his neck in a cycling accident, that music became Elsa's refuge and outlet for coping with her emotions. This reliance on music as a channel for expression and a source of comfort, along with her love of the wildness (which is also breathed into her compositions), led her to the flute.
After her early years traveling between Gothenburg and California, Elsa graduated high school and, just three days later, flew to Seattle with two suitcases and her flute to continue her musical studies. She received her Bachelors of Music from Cornish College of the Arts in 2008, and Master of Music from New York University in 2013. Now, Elsa is a freelance musician based in Brooklyn, NY, performing around New York City while touring in the states as well as Europe.

Vocalist/guitarist/composer CAMILA MEZA is a rarity, a glorious triptych of an artist.
She possesses a gift for composing brilliant musical landscapes, a captivating, soulfully pure vocal instrument, and a consummate prowess on guitar, ablaze with irresistible melodies and improvisations. Camila Meza, originally from Santiago, Chile, has garnered rapt attention from her colleagues, the press, and audiences in South America, New York City, and internationally, for her distinctive ability in blending jazz with her broad musical world (that includes Latin American, Brazilian, folk and pop), and for the emotional depth of her music. This rising star on the global jazz scene has been described by The New York Times as, "a bright young singer and guitarist with an ear for music of both folkloric and pop intention," and called, "a natural multi-talent, an improvising singer-guitarist who is one of the finest in the world in both creative realms," by pianist Aaron Goldberg. On February 26, 2016 Sunnyside Records proudly released Camila Meza's debut recording for the label (and her fourth overall), Traces, winning two Independent Music Awards and rave reviews from critics.
This time she presents her new project "The Nectar Orchestra" which features a string quartet and percussion, with an original repertoire and arrangements of Elliot Smith, Milton Nascimento and more.
