I understand how everyone feels about Chief Justice Roberts, however, I have a theory that makes sense. Roberts hates Obumma with a passion. Is it possible that his thinking was that by him cxming out with the lib justices staing that Obuumacarp is "A Tax" after all, that this was his intent! Think about it, a "bipartisan" agreement coming out of SCOTUS, delaring exactly what Obuuma and his minions have and continue to deny, really puts The Dictator against the wall and hopefully seals his fate in November. The decision creates so much amnger against "The One" that Roberts engineers the defeat of the jerk. Just a thought. S

Peruvian in Coral Gables...what to choose?
- yomyb Jul 6, 2007 08:51 AM
I am headed down to the Gables and want Peruvian, which should I choose: La Cofradia or Francesco?
re: yomyb
Here is an old review thread that was brought back to life by Netmover - talks very specificly about ordering strategy.
I have to temper my original review a bit. At that time, I had not been to NYC for a while and forgot how good the very best restaurants are so you should change "amongst the very best dishes I had" to mearly "excellent" or "outstanding."
That all being said, Francesco's would be an excellent addition to any city and I am very happy it is in Miami (though I wish it were in south beach :)).
Francesco. Ate there last week. Excellent food and service. Live cello music. Top rated for food in Miami by Zagat. Get ceviche and ask for hot sauce on side. Potato dishs also amazing. Lots of locals.
Francesco is hands down the best Peruvian in Miami, let alone the Gables. La Cofradia is pretty good but the costs are pretty high and a few of the items Ive tried there have not been stellar. First time I went there was Valentines Day a few years back right after they opened. Fixed menu was great and their wine selection was pretty good too. That dinner definitely left a hole in my wallet though haha.
re: Blind Mind
I have not been to Francesco but did eat at La Cofradia awhile back. I too was not overly impressed by the food at LC and the prices were high. I had a veal chop that was nothing to write home about and the sauce was overly salty and I like salt. Grouper was good but not stellar. Over all the food was not bad except the salty sauce on the veal but the prices were just too high for the quality of food and technique of in the kitchen.
re: scubadoo97
I agree on LaCofradia. Their food is, well, good. However, the value is majorly lacking. Prices are way too high, and as a result, I havent returned since first trying them out.
Thanks everyone for your input. We finally tried Francesco's last Friday...WOW. I am Puerto RIcan, so this can never leave this board, but Peruvian food is by far my favorite Latin food. The ingredients are wondeful, the variety of dishes and flavors, how clean and healthy it can be.... I'm in love, and Francesco's showcases all that beautifully. The tacu tacu, both wih mushrooms and with seafood, was perfectly moist and seasoned, the causa was creamy and delicious, the sirloin was perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth style, and the ceviche was the best I've had in Miami. The suspiro was so sweet and sinful we had to share between three, and still laughed the whole time we were eating it. I bet we were all thinking: "I love that you are my friend and accomplice on this, may this never leave these walls" ;-). Thank god for expresso after that! And thank God for good food!
re: advisor_Girl
Amen is right. The XO Grouper there is money as well. Glad you enjoyed!
After much touting by many chowhounds (to say nothing of the Zagat rating), I finally tried Francesco's for lunch yesterday. We split a ceviche sampler (fish and seafood done traditional, w/ aji amarillo, and w/ rocoto chile), and collectively our group also had the squid ink risotto, tacu tacu w/ seafood (mine), and the seco de salmon (a cilantro based salmon stew). While it was a nice lunch, I have to confess I'm somewhat baffled as to how this place can be regarded as one of the best restaurants in Miami.
The ceviches I thought were disappointing. The presentation itself was somewhat sloppy, with the three ceviches all slopped onto one plate with the different sauces completely blanketing the seafood, running into each other, and also coating the accompanying peruvian corn accompaniment. I could be wrong, but it appears the sauces get added on immediately before serving rather than being a component of the ceviche preparation itself. The sauces themselves I thought were way too creamy, and muted rather than enhanced the flavor of the seafood (and also made the seafood items almost indistinguishable visually). You'd stab a fork into something and say "I wonder what I got?" before taking a bite. I much prefer a simple ceviche where you can actually see what you're getting and can taste each item - to me the beauty of a ceviche is the simplicity and purity of the ingredients, which gets lost when you slather it with sauce. The salad that came with the lunch specials I enjoyed, with bits of asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes and other veg dressed with a yellow dressing that also may have had a hint of aji amarillo. Lunch specials are all very reasonably priced around $15.
I snagged a bite of my fellow diner's squid risotto and it was quite tasty. I also liked my tacu tacu (a refried rice & bean type dish which I believe is pan-fried and often rolled into a sort of torpedo shape) though the advertised "mariscos" were mind-bogglingly hard to find. Aside from one shrimp which crowned the top of the dish, I found virtually no seafood at all in the tacu tacu itself. Some accompanying pickled onion and a green herby/spicy sauce added a little variety to what otherwise was basically beans & rice. My other fellow diner's salmon stew just didn't interest me, a piece of salmon drenched in a green sauce bearing a strong resemblance to the same sauce which accompanied my tacu tacu, with a side of a "white bean risotto" which also bore a strong resemblance to my tacu tacu before getting refried.
Don't get me wrong - the food was good. However, I don't see how it was so much exponentially better than any other Peruvian place in town, much less one of the best restaurants in town. Yes, the squid ink risotto is quite good. But I actually preferred the ceviche at my little neighborhood place, El Rincon de Chabuca on Collins and 71st, and would be hard pressed to say the tacu tacu was much more than marginally better at Francesco.
So what am I missing? Does one good dish really make Francesco one of the best restaurants in Miami? Or do I just not appreciate Peruvian food enough to get what makes this place superior?
re: Frodnesor
Ive been there a few times and the food is killer. Maybe you just had a bad experience? Ive never been there for lunch either, so maybe its a different kitchen crew? My fave there is the Grouper VSOP. Ive had a few other entrees there and have never left disappointed. My dates have also enjoyed the food and atmosphere and some of them have been rather picky girls when it comes to critiquing food. Also, most places Ive seen that do ceviche add any sort of sauce on afterwards (check out Jaguar in the Grove where you can watch them prepare it at the ceviche bar). Im surprised to hear such a negative review on Francesco as it is the best Peruvian in Miami in my opinion.
re: Blind Mind
To the contrary, I didn't think anything was bad - it was a fine meal, though I did not like the ceviches drowned in sauces. I just don't understand (1) what makes this so much better than any other Peruvian place; and (2) what makes this one of the best restaurants in town.
re: Frodnesor
Wow...I'm not sure how to respond to all that! Allow me to take a stab at it though...
Tacu Tacu is simply rice and beans in the shape of a Spanish egg Tortilla. Does the menu say it's Seafood tacu tacu or is really just seafood with tacu tacu? That may have gotten lost in the nuance of translation .
I have never done their lunch, so I can't opine there. However, I hear you loud and clear with regards to that ceviche, you nailed it. It was good, and I unlike you, was happy to have the sauce variety which I think lends a certain sex appeal to what is admittedly a simple dish. The presentation of slopping them all together was lacking for sure, since they bled as you duly noted. I am partial to spoons ala Jaguar.
The Causa and Papa's ala Huaicainas were stellar. That Squid Ink Risotto with Frutti di Mare was phenomenal, as was the yellow one TP mentions above.
I find it hard to beleive you mentioned that Colombian joint on Collins posing as a Peruvian joint in the same breath with Francescos...seeing how they are hardly in the same league...but I am going to let that one slide due to your final question. Which BTW, only you can answer.
You should try Salmon Salmon if you haven't already. They do their ceviche the way you like it.
I got to agree with the YOMYBoriqua, Peruvian food may be the best in all of Latin America...with the exception of Mexico, maybe.
Frod, you'd be very hard pressed to find a better Risotto at the finest Italian restaurants in town and that's exactly why it's one of the best this magic city has to offer! Certainly you will not find that dish at the corner Chabuca...you're better off down at Chalan...trust me.
One thing worth noting about Peruvian food is the wide variety of dishes...so I am certain there must be something you will absolutely love if you keep exploring.
Good luck.
re: netmover
The menu description was:
Tacu tacu de Mariscos $ 14.00
Jasmine rice mixed with white beans Peruvian puree, filled with seasoned seafood served with our Peruvian sauces: huacatay (mountain herb) and criolla.
It was a generous serving of tacu tacu (couldn't finish it), but it was hardly "filled with seasoned seafood".
See, the point of my comparison to the "Colombian joint on Collins posing as a Peruvian joint" (which I like calling "El Rincon de Chewbacca") is that: (1) I actually liked their ceviche better; and (2) the tacu tacu was not so appreciably different from Francesco's that as to that dish, anyway, I could understand calling Francesco's one of the best restaurants in Miami and E.R.D.C. a mediocre corner joint (if I may paraphrase).
I will agree that the ceviche is a matter of personal preference as to style. I may also need to consider whether tacu tacu, even if a "classic" dish, is a proper benchmark for comparing Peruvian restaurants (perhaps it's like trying to compare Thai places by their papaya salad - there's only so many degrees of good or bad you can reach). And I don't doubt for a minute that E.R.D.C. would never in a hundred years duplicate the squid risotto - that was a very good dish.
I won't give up - there are other dishes I'd be interested in trying, and I agree it's an interesting cuisine particularly given the Asian influence (which I find all the more interesting because it's a cultural thing rather than a "forced marriage" by some chef trying to be clever). However, I still don't think that Peruvian can hold a candle to Mexican for variety or complexity.
re: Frodnesor
Hi everyone. Nice debate. Frod, I have to disagree with you on this one obviously but I respect your opinion. Taste is one of those things....and these restaurants are not $100 bills, not everyone can like them ;-)
As far as the ceviche, I have never been to Peru, but I am fortunate to have some amazing Peruvian friends, born and raised there, who always describe the best and most authentic ceviche to be served just like it was served TO US at Francesco's. Fresh as can be. Juice poured over it a the last minute, giving it very little time to "cook." That is what we got and that is what we loved. I care very little about presentation as long as it tastes right. I. But like I said, we all know on this board you are a great critic, and a trusted chowhound, sorry you were disappointed.
Francesco's is not gourmet, it is Latin food made nicer. What Carmen's was to Puerto Rican food. In PR we have a lot of restaurants like that, and I miss that being here in Miami. So that is why IMHO, it is so wonderful.
Have a nice weekend....hope you all find lots of good eats ;-)
re: Frodnesor
Honestly Fro, in my opinion its the best Peruvian in Miami and Ive tried a few. Many people in Miami like to go against the grain or bash what is good, and while I dont think you are that type of person, I cant help but think that your expectations were too high when you went to Francescos. Do you like Peruvian food? If not, you may not be able to distinguish the difference between Francesco's and other Peruvian or wannabe-Peruvian joints. Simply put, I love the food and atmosphere at Francescos. Its a great hole in the wall that I would go to more often if I wasnt so busy trying to eat at just about every place in Miami...haha
re: Frodnesor
Thanks for the chuckle Frod...I was LOL with that Chewbacca take!
It's sounds like that tacu tacu should contain seafood? The seafood seems to be plentiful there with every other seafood dish I've seen or ordered at Francescos.
Maybe next time you should skip the combo ceviche and go with the one you like most? Please try that acebechado de tuna. I thought I read where some one said it was inedible above? The night I was there it was unbeleivable, of the hook in fact. Again, this is why we all have a favorite color! Or maybe it was an off night?
As for your Mexy take, I back that 100% which is why I threw it out there as a caveat. Having lived in Mexico for a semester, I feel that I have only scratched the surface of our NAFTA neighbor's cuisine to the south. This community could use to scratch said surface too...Big Time! When we are forced to celebrate the arrival of a chain like chipotle it speaks volumes to the lack of good Mexy cuisine in the MIA...(is it open yet?)
Getting back to the subject at hand, I like the Steak saltimboca and tacu tacu, those green pastas tallarin's can be good. The aguaditos are nice. I always see them serving up some seafood stew in the pot at Salmon Salmon that looks devine. Their Fried Rice(chaufa) gets a helping hand from the orient for sure. They roast a mean pollo, maybe not at Francescos, but in general. They have taken the papa to a new level...and would have made the Irish even happier! All in all, were I stuck living in the Epcot of Latin America, kind of like we are down here in the MIA, I would spend a lot of time in Peru, just like I do.
Good Peruvian restaurants are certainly more prolific down here than good Mexican restaurants...disafortunadamente!
re: netmover
I revisited again earlier this week. Got the arroz con calamares en su tinta which was mighty good stuff. Tried to get a traditional ceviche mixto but the table opted instead for the "sampler" with the three sauces - which, again, I didn't really like.
The arroz negro is mighty fine stuff though and the place is worth a visit if just for that dish alone.
re: Frodnesor
You should have had the tres leches cake for dessert. Agreed that the squid ink stuff is their best dishes. I thought you had them last time too and didn't like them.
re: tpigeon
No, I tried someone else's arroz negro last time and liked it, I wasn't wowed by my seafood tacu tacu previously. Enjoyed this time having the rice all to myself.
re: Frodnesor
Honestly I went recently (in December) for the first time and expected much more from the place after the reviews I received both here and from friends and was not impressed. The food was good, but not great. I also had the ceviche sampler (pushed by the server) and did not like it at all. Jaguar has better ceviches IMO and I've had plenty other ones which were better. I had a squid ink risotto that was overwhelmed by garlic and do not remember what Mrs I ate, but again, good, not great. Giralda Cafe (RIP) was far better when it opened and I much prefer the food at Flor de la Canela (though yes, it is very depressing and a hike west). Will probably give Francescos another try but first will continue my search for solid Peruvian.

I have been vermicomposting for about 3 or 4 years now but I am finally getting serious about it. I have been reading articles about how others are making money with their worms and a few of their ideas seem feasible for me. I am going to use this post as a sort of brainstorming and streaming thoughts about the different ways people use worms to make them money and go through some of the things I can do right now to start generating some income.
The ways worms are used is as a food source for other animals like birds, reptiles or fish, as bait, as a organic waste disposal system, and as a source of worm castings. I am using them right now as a waste disposal and as a gardening amendment. I have a large source that taking out a dozen or so here and there, to go fishing, is not going to be damaging to my worm herd. I also just ordered 2000 worms that arrived in the mail about 4 or 5 days ago. I don't know how fast they are going to start producing a significant supply of castings but I suspect that a healthy diet consisting of some fresh or not yet fully composted organic material should help grow my population rapidly. The larger population should also help give me more castings.
Since I want to make money with worms I need to decide on a method and focus on building a steady cashflow. Then I can start focusing on other things. First thing That makes sense to me is to grow my population large enough to have castings to keep my garden beds fed. Actually, I could sell worms that I get from a wholesaler, enough to get another couple thousand worms for myself and a few others. The idea is to get enough worms sold to allow me to make a large bulk purchase and sell all the worms except a small portion I keep for myself which would be paid for through the profit margin I get from buying bulk.
Another idea I read about was dropshipping worms. I may be able to do that but it seems like a lot of work to set up a website and promote it against the already established sites. Maybe there is another less expensive/ time consuming way to advertise worms for sale, but I don't have a good idea for that just yet. I guess I could start using free ad sites and see what kind of results I get. I need a plan to get the worms sold before I make a large purchase. There are other plans I have for selling worms to specialty gardening shops. There are more and more folks getting into organic gardening these days and worm kits with worms may sell well at a garden shop. Maybe I'll open a specialty compost shop. The Dirty Worm, gets the job done!
There are tons of possibilities. I will just keep on growing the herd while I continue to work on a good marketing plan that doesn't require me to spend money. That is going to require me to spend what I got, time! Now it's time to go over to The Worm Farm Blog and do some more work there.
One more thing, I actually enjoy the process of growing, or shall I say "farming", my worms. I think about them all day and I talk about them to people who don't even care about them. I check on them over and over all day long too. This is a hobby that I will enjoy profiting from.

Rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Dobson has figured by many to be an important cog in the new look offense for Tom Brady and the Patriots. Dobson has been dealing with an injury to his hamstring and it will be enough to keep him out of the game.
Pats downgrade rookie WR Aaron Dobson (hamstring) from questionable to out http://t.co/08Umq8Rk8d
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 8, 2013
This is good news for fantasy football teams that took some gambles drafting rookie Kenbrell Thompkins and tight end Zach Sudfeld as they should see an increase in looks due to limited options elsewhere.
It has also been reported that Patriot tight end Rob Gronkowski has also been downgraded to officially out for Sunday's game. He has not fully recovered from his back surgery.
The Patriots have to be grateful that they drew the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets in weeks one and two. It appears that both teams are going to start rookie quarterbacks which should provide some cushion for Brady to get comfortable with his new targets at regular season speed.

A day in the life of a janitor page 4 tout nr c Weber State University v. r sS I liens in Brief Vladimir Ezhov taught swimming at WSU for four months GNPOST mm By Jackie Jensen correspondent The Signpost Friday's dorm activity held at the swimming pool in the Swenson Gym served two purposes. One was to provide a fun place for on-campus residents to mingle. The other was to honor and say goodbye to Russian lifeguard and swim teacher Vladimir Ezhov. "We will miss him terribly," said Weber State University aquatic manager, Kathy Allen. Ezhov came to WSU last May to participate in the English as a Second Language summer program. Now that the summer has ended the 1 9-year-old lifeguard and swimming instructor will head back to Nizhniy Novgorod, his hometown in Russia. Ezhov, who lived with his sister during his stay, explained that he was not thinking about what he'd do for work when he first came to the United States. "My sister said, 'you have a choice,'" Ezhov said, '"you can work cleaning restrooms or work as a lifeguard', and I said 'I prefer working lifeguard.'" Ezhov was a competitive team swimmer in Russia for 7 years before he came to WSU to teach and lifeguard. "Now I just do it for me and for fun," Ezhov said. Once enrolled at WSU, Ezhov began taking lifeguard and swimming classes on campus. "He didn't know how to speak very much English at first," said Allen, "so we gave him a chance to learn the skills and lifeguard and his sister was there a lot of the time translating for us."

Ezhov came to the United States from Russia to study English at WSU. He returns to Russia Wednesday. scholarship, did not have to translate for long. "He caught on very easily to everything, and he learned English well," Allen said. Ezhov then began teaching swimming lessons and water safety courses to kids. Ezhov made many friends while attending WSU and working at the pool. "He's never boring that's for sure," friend and fellow lifeguard Nick Southwick said. "He's always fun to be around, and he's absolutely amazing at the butterfly." Ezhov's swimming skills were not the only thing that earned him respect from his colleagues. "He's very sweet, and very humble," Allen said. "He's just so dedicated, and very responsible. He was always there when someone needs coverage for a shift. We've enjoyed having him." After Ezhov finishes up his sociology degree in Russia, he said he hopes to come back to WSU to pursue a degree in business administration. Ezhov explained that he feels comfortable here after his experience over the summer. "All the teachers are nice and friendly and it feels like home." Ezhov said. "And the same with my job. Everyone is polite. I do not feel alone or afraid or that kind of thing. Everybody is friendly here. Before I came to the U.S., I thought everyone would think, 'a Russian?' But it was not that way at all. I'm so sorry that I can't stay and be part of student life here." Ezhov said that he has made more than just friends over the summer. In Ezhov's words, "We are like a family here." Comment on this story at wsusignpost.com ara-tiw Plans for bachelor's of engineering at CEET By Hyrum Rappleye correspondent The Signpost Bryce Laing, 18, is looking for a university to attend but his choices are limited by his field of study. "I want to study engineering, but I need to start my generals first," Liang said. As a prospective engineering major there are few universities that have a bachelor's program to acomodate him. Weber State University may soon be one of them. "Assuming the program is approved by the end of 2007, the beginning date will be fall semester 2008," said Kirk Hagen, pre-engineering program adviser who assisted in developing the new program. WSU already has a pre-engineering program. Once the new program is in place, engineering students can begin working towards the program's core requirement of 51 credit hours. Engineering students who wish to earn a bachelor's degree in engineering will choose one of two concentrations: See CEET page 5 HPHP and College of Education get master's in athletic training By Hilary Felsted correspondent The Signpost Starting fall semester of 2008, Weber State University will offer a master's degree in athletic training. The new program will be the second master's program in the college of education and the first for the department of health promotion and human performance (HPHP). The program will be unique in that students do not need a bachelor's degree in athletic training to apply for the master's program. "It's going to bring so many good things to the university," said Stephanie Heath, recruiter for the College of Education. "You don't have to have an athletic training degree in order to get this master's degree."

Charlesworth,editor-in-chief of the Metaphor last year, said he visited the Spiral Jetty in spring 2006 because his friend was an enthusiast. "It was somewhat soggy when I got there, but the sacrifice of getting there makes you pay attention to it," Charlesworth said. He also said it was hard for him to "find the beauty of the Spiral Jetty," then he came to appreciate the mixing of nature and art.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- MetaVis Technologies announced today that its SharePoint migration, administration, information management and governance software support Microsoft's latest release of Office 365 for business, SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2013. All MetaVis products work with SharePoint 2013, Office 365, SharePoint 2010, 2007 and 2003 and are designed to help companies organize their SharePoint environments. Companies can download a free trial of the MetaVis Migration Suite and begin their SharePoint migration today.
Many companies are planning their SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 upgrade strategies using the traditional database attach approach. The downside to this approach is that it doesn't work for Office 365, moves a lot of unneeded or unused sites, content, components and customizations and doesn't allow you to migrate directly from SharePoint 2003 and 2007 without interim steps.
"MetaVis Migration Suite allows companies to organize their SharePoint as they migrate ensuring that they do not upgrade their mess but instead migrate to a fresh and clean SharePoint environment. Unlike the database attach method, our SharePoint migration tool allows users to take full advantage of the new features in SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online such as the redesigned user interface and Shredded Storage during migration," says Peter Senescu, President and Co-founder of MetaVis Technologies.
MetaVis customers can begin migrating, managing and providing governance to SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 immediately. MetaVis Migration Suite and Architect Suite are powerful yet simple-to-use tools for moving to Office 365 SharePoint or SharePoint 2013 and supports migrations from SharePoint (premise-based or hosted), file systems, Microsoft Exchange Public Folders, Microsoft Outlook, and Google.Drive.
With the MetaVis Migration Suite, companies can take advantage of new features in SharePoint 2013 such as Shredded Storage to decrease their document storage requirements. By supporting the Shredded Storage feature, MetaVis allows users to migrate only the most recent copy of a document plus any versions that are required under governance policies as opposed to bringing over all the document content and corresponding BLOB files that exists. This reduces storage requirements and improves site performance.
Additional advantages of using MetaVis Migration Suite to migrate to SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online include:
MetaVis offers a number of resources to help companies plan their SharePoint 2013 migration strategies. Whitepapers, blogs and On Demand webinars are available at http://www.metavistech.com/SharePoint2013-migration.
About MetaVis Technologies
MetaVis Technologies is a Microsoft Gold certified ISV that develops software to help organize SharePoint and Office 365 environments for improved search and governance. MetaVis takes the complexity out of designing, deploying, administering and managing content within SharePoint by offering migration, information architecture, change control, taxonomy, security, backup and metadata management software. MetaVis products are agentless and are based on intuitive, graphical interfaces that are easy to use and easy to install.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – Mayor-elect Marty Walsh is facing a big decision already: should he approve the Boston Police Department's plan to arm some officers with rifles?
Walsh would not confirm if he plans to approve the plan, which is to buy 33 AR-15 rifles to put in cruisers of two trained beat cops in all 11 districts in the city. The rifles cost $2,500 each.
Boston area resident Kathy Sears backs the plan.
"If the bad guys have them, I think we need to be well-equipped. The police need to be well-equipped. It's unfortunate, but it's a reality today," she said.
Boston police say the plan comes after the increase in nationwide massacres including the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Officers would only use the rifles for active-shooter attacks, suspects wearing body armor and far-away targets.
City Councilor Charles Yancey is not for the plan and said active-shooter incidents are better left to specialized SWAT team units and the use of assault rifles actually put the public in more danger.
"I don't believe arming them with assault weapons is going to make them any safer," he said.

Steve Rubel's post on "Why We're Like a Miliion Monkeys on Treadmills" made me smile. Bryan and I are also way too often asked questions about how to create a Facebook, blogging or Web 2.0 strategy. Our answer is similar to Rubel's:
Surely, channels are where the action is at. However, it's important to remember they are just that – and they change. Circa 1998, perhaps when many of you were 10, The Globe.com, GeoCities and Tripod were all the rage. They faded from our horizon over time. The same thing will happen to many of today's hot sites. In fact, I advise marketers not to invest too much time in creating "a Facebook strategy" as much as they don't have "an NBC strategy" or "a New York Times strategy." Instead, I encourage them to people watch, learn and then plan based on their audience and the big picture.
The most interesting action is in sociology. In other words, how does technology change our culture and how we interact with media, the web and each other – and to what end? This was a major realization for me a few months back and you have probably noticed it in my writing, which is less channel focused. These days, I am far more interested in what people do with technology rather than on what the latest new "shiny object" is. … [read the post]
By the way, I know where Rubel got that great monkey picture he used for the post.
C'mon Jeffrey… You have to be quick to jump on the new new thing. I saw you with wearing that digg hoodie and playing with your iPhone.
Running a small eCommerce consulting firm I get the same types of questions all the time and I admit – I sphinn, I myspace and I have an iPhone. But it is all about your audience and speaking to them in the proper voice for than channel (and achieving an ROI while you are at it.) With all of this Web 2.0 stuff flying around don't you feel like we were answering the same questions we did in 1999???
Jeffrey! I like your article as it generates thinking and discussion from a wide perspective. Forecasting a market campaign not only requires a sociological and psychological but a technological predictive and movement. To reach your audience or market we must respond with the language and tools that they are most likely to be using. Yet in forecasting knowing the risks of moving in the wrong direction has, in my opinion become like the stock market and the challenge will be not putting all your eggs in one basket and knowing when to limit your presence in a particular campaign.

Hi all, I want to know if anyone could help me on a string issue I'm having. I get data from a mainframe that is returning a string with some special characters in it. See below
John Doe ?z1234563? Sally D ?1053442233?
1.) I want to remove the second "?" after John Doe
Can someone help me on this? I'm having a very hard time.Thanks, Ben

Can you provide the query you have put together so far? Do you need to do this on every record that is returned?
Aug 12, 2011 at 09:33 AM Shawn_Melton
Let me see if I understand your requirements. You have a column which will contain a string on the format Name ?somecode? Name ?1234567890? and you want it on the format Name ?somecode Name #4567890?. Is that correct?
Aug 12, 2011 at 09:50 AM Magnus Ahlkvist
I need to return on all records that meet this pattern.In the example it's one string John Doe ?z1234563? Sally D ?1053442233?
Aug 12, 2011 at 10:52 AM winnie2K
On the face of it, the following code will do what you want, but I'm wondering whether the codes can be any length and you'd like them truncated from the left to seven characters. I'm having some difficulty in working out more exactly what the problem is that you're wanting to solve. (this code doesn't exclude those lines that don't have eight consecutive numbers after the '?'. you'd do a LIKE with the same wildcard)

You can do any pattern matching and replacement easy by CLR RegEx implementation.
You can take a look on the sample implementation [SQL Server Regular Expressions – Replacements][1].
If I understand it exactly as @Magnus Ahlkvist in the comment, then using the above implementation, you can easily run below code:
If you need other results, it's only a question of passing right Regular Expressions.[1]: http://www.pawlowski.cz/2011/05/sql-server-regular-expressions-replacements/

A Bigger MiniWith small cars getting so much interest lately, it's a nice irony that one of the brands to start it all is now coming out with a something larger. The MINI Clubman is 9.45 inches longer than its standard sibling (so more room for rear passengers and extra luggage), has rear 'suicide' doors and the tailgate is a split-door arrangement, a nod to bigger versions of the old Mini.
As the Traveller concept, this car has been doing the rounds of car shows. But once a disguised model was seen testing on the Nrburgring, it was obvious a production version would be ready for 2008. It will have a naturally aspirated, 1.6-liter, 120-hp four-cylinder engine as standard, but the Cooper Clubman gets a turbocharged version kicking out 175 hp at 5500 rpm. The Clubman will be priced between the MINI hardtop and Convertible models, so somewhere around $22,000.www.miniusa.com
Onward And Up-WardThis is weird. Years ago, Sir Alex Issigonis packaged the original Mini as a transverse-engine, front-drive car, to make better use of space. Now VW is touting its Up concept as something radical in this respect, being rear-engined (and, presumably, rear-wheel-drive). Which seems like an evolutionary step back to the original Beetle. But VW is claiming plenty of usable space within its 11.32-feet length and 5.35-feet width, despite the fact that the Up (VW calls it the 'up!', but that's just silly) is primarily a city car. At least it looks pretty cool. And VWs are rarely described as such these days.

I did not really like this. It was just ok. I felt there was way too much beef and not nearly enough vegetables. I've eaten this twice (second time it was leftover from the prior night) and both times it just didn't sit well with me. It left an unpleasant aftertaste. I followed the recipe exactly except for the peas (not a fan of peas). I won't make this again.
Classic Beef Stew
Photo: Susie Cushner
One of the great things about stews is that the low-and-slow cooking makes even the toughest cuts of meat fork-tender. This stew calls for bottom round, a lean but tough cut of beef. Tomato paste, dry red wine, beef broth, dried thyme, a bay leaf, and an assortment of vegetables round out the dish. Since this recipe makes 8 to 10 servings, it's perfect for casual entertaining or freezing extra portions for a later date.

- 2 large onions, diced (2 cups)
- 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 pound potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 pound baby carrots (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- Coat the beef in the flour. Heat a few tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meat, a few pieces at a time, adding more oil as necessary. Transfer to a heavy casserole or a heavy, covered saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and coat the onions; transfer to the casserole. Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits; add to the casserole. Stir in the broth, salt, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook in the casserole in a 325° F oven for 4 hours, or in the saucepan or Dutch oven on the stovetop over low heat for about 2 1/2 hours. In either case, stir occasionally and add up to 1 cup of additional beef broth if necessary. Add the potatoes and carrots during the last hour of cooking, and the peas just before serving.
To Freeze: Omit the peas. Let the stew cool, then ladle it into resealable freezer bags. Store for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: Thaw the stew overnight in the refrigerator or thaw partially in the microwave. Warm in a covered saucepan over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, adding the peas during the last 5 minutes.

On Wednesday at noon, Ana Casas Wilson, 50, a longtime South Gate resident who is suffering simultaneously from stage 4-breast cancer and cerebral palsy, will host another rally with supporters in front of her home to ask Wells Fargo, which serviced her loan, and US Bank, the owner of the mortgage, to not go through with the eviction.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was expected to evict Casas Wilson from her 8968 San Juan Avenue home, shortly after the notice expired three weeks ago.
According to a press release from the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Casas Wilson was unable to make payments on her mortgage after falling ill with cancer in 2009. The sudden illness obliged James Wilson, her husband, to quit one of his two jobs, in order to take care of her.
Wilson is currently a fulltime employee of the Lynwood Unified School District, and Casas Wilson can make payments on her mortgage, if Wells Fargo awards her a loan modification.
In a statement to Patch, two weeks ago, Wells Fargo insisted that several attempts to remedy the situation had been tried.
"We provided loan modifications on two separate occasions [to James and Ana Casas-Wilson] and both offers were declined," said Veronica Clemons, a spokesperson of Wells Fargo's Home Mortgage Communications, via email. "We also have offered financial relocation assistance to help transition them to a new residence. Those offers were turned down."
Clemons also stated that the bank had received no payments been on the house since 2008.
These were claims that Peter Kuhns, an organizer with ACCE, took issue with. Telling Patch that a certified Housing Urban Development counselor stated that Casas Wilson does qualify for a modification, and has attempted to make payments.
"How can they say she has not made any payments since 2008, when she has tried to make them, and the banks wont take her money?" said Kuhns to Patch in October. "She has been trying to make payments."
In April, Casas Wilson was arrested while allegedly attempting to make a payment to Tim Sloan, the Chief Financial Officer of Wells Fargo, during a protest outside of his house in San Marino.
According to an ACCE press release, on the 26th of November, Casas Wilson will be facing trial in the Los Angeles County Superior Court for charges related to her vigil in San Marino .
She faces a maximum penalty of a year In jail and $2000 in fines.
"I've been trying to get Wells Fargo to accept my money for three years – I went to Tim Sloan's house because all I want is to stay in my home and keep making my payments," said Casas Wilson, in a recent ACCE press release. "If Wells Fargo wanted to, they could call [District Attorney] Steve Cooley today and request that the charges against me be dropped – just like they could work with me right now on a loan modification."

I got a LOT of 'asks' about why I've decided not to tattoo the hands/necks/fingers/faces of my clients anymore, so rather than respond to each I'll put a little something here. This is something I've been considering implementing for quite some time and a particularly negative experience the other…
Thou shalt not wear fake blood on stage unless thy name is Ogre.
Thou shalt not covet another band's beats and vocals so much that you can't create anything original on your own.
Thou shalt not whine that nobody's at the club tonight when you never told anyone else and went with the same three catty, judgmental people who would make fun of any new faces that showed up anyway.
Thou shalt not scream that Faderhead is killing the scene when Faderhead isn't industrial to begin with, which he's always said. Thou shalt get over it if you aren't into it.
Thou shalt not have any other industrial gods than Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, Coil, Neubauten, pre-crappy Ministry, Front 242, Frontline Assembly, Nitzer Ebb, and Babyland. Okay, a few more, but not any of that boring, cliched stuff, especially the misogynistic shit.
Thou shalt not just dance to overly polished, four on the floor club tracks.
Thou shalt not think that industrial lyrics are just about robots, dystopian futures, consumerism, or WWII. Thou shalt have an open mind and appreciate different perspectives, because evolution is the only way for industrial to thrive.
Thou shalt not sample Full Metal Jacket any longer. Or Network. Or Blade Runner. Or any Hellraiser film. Thou shalt start watching less obvious mainstream movies for ideas.
Thou shalt not act like industrial music is an exclusive sausage party full of white pasty dudes. Thou shalt encourage everyone of every gender, race, and sexual orientation to create industrial.
Thou shalt not apologize or diminish your enthusiasm in front of others for loving industrial or making industrial music. Thou shalt have industrial pride…but never refer to it as that because that probably sounds pretty stupid said out loud.
Thou shalt not follow the rules or trends. Thou shalt set the standard. Thou shalt never follow.
Amen to that!

Anonymous said: Do you have any Goth band recommendations? I'm in a musical rut and keep listening to the same bands over and over. Thank you!
Not sure when this was asked (I haven't been around a lot on tumblr the last few months) but I'll do my best. My apologies if my reply is rather late.
Its hard to say what to recommend as I have no idea your knowledge of goth bands. So I'll assume you know the usual suspects.
Some bands I enjoy (a mix of old and new) that are goth or related in some way :
Children On Stun
Bloody Dead And Sexy
Joy Disaster
Screaming Banshee Aircrew
No Kisses
Fledermaus Sturme
She Wants Revenge
Scissor Pretty
Strap-On Halo
The Merry Thoughts
Play Dead
The Horrors
Pretentious, Moi?
The Cruxshadows
Virgin Prunes
Scary Bitches
Ghost of Lemora
As I said they aren't all strictly goth. Some are easy to find, others not so much. Most should have something on youtube so you can at least check them out.
I'm sure most of you have seen the propaganda against Deathrockets that was created by the gothfail tumblr by now.
If not this is the piece that got things started : http://gothfail.tumblr.com/image/62002992660
Right now we have that out the way and before you all start reaching for your pitchforks and start forming online lynch mobs lets get a few things straight.
To start with you have only heard one side of the story. And its a side that had a heavy bias against Deathrockets - not a neutral party.
Gothfail is a blog made purely to make Deathrockets (and associated people) look bad. Almost every post is either a pic, screencap or quote from Deathrockets accompanied by a description to put it in the worst possible light. Gothfail stops at nothing to make Deathrockets admin and regulars look bad.
Yet people blindly share the things Gothfail creates and without question. Why not - if someone took this much time to make it then it must be true. Its a snippet of a conversation so it must have been said and be every awful ISM and IST the original poster can think of. BULLSHIT!
Gothfail is out to destroy these people. And its using your sense of outrage to do it.
That lot at Deathrockets don't like Joji. Which is fine - we don't have to like everyone we meet or see online. But its not because he is trans or homosexual. Its because of WHO he is. Not WHAT he is.
They don't like Joji because they think he's a wanker, not because he is trans or homosexual.
Gothfail is a blog made purely to make Deathrockets (and associated people) look bad. A look through their blog is enough to show this. If they were legit in trying to rid the goth/deathrock scene of bad elements why do they only target one small group? There are plenty of others out there doing bad they could target too. But they don't because its all about taking Deathrockets down.
Why - maybe Deathrockets ripped on them once. They've made jokes about a few people in the past and many of them they made peace with and left alone once it was clear they didn't like the joke. Many even became their friends. Hell they rip on themselves more than they rip on anyone else.
I'm not saying Deathrockets are angels and are squeaky clean but in this case they are being vilified for the wrong reasons. They made some comments (in a group you have to search for specifically to find mind you) about a person they don't like.
They use a lot of common netspeak which many find offensive (eg the term fag). If you have ever played games online you will hear language like this. I'm not saying its right just that it happens. And for some its normal language and not offensive at all. They may be considered derogatory terms outside their circle but within its fine. Think of it like how swearing is more tolerated now than it used to be
But haven't we all said things about people we don't like before in semi-public places? Haven't we all used words that others may find offensive? Its called being human and human beings aren't perfect.
If you dig hard enough you could find dirt and offensive actions from anyone. Would you like to be judged by your less than perfect moments and mistakes too?
Here is what I think -
Whoever runs Gothfail has a massive grudge against Deathrockets for whatever reason. Its probably something small that the rest of the world has forgotten about. And they are dragging everyone into their feud through the use of shock and outrage through reposts taking material out of context and tumblr activism. The fight is between Gothfail and Deathrockets, there is no need to drag the rest of us into it.
So… are you going to feed the hate machine and ruin some childish, offensive yet mostly harmless people who have an odd sense of humor?
Or are you going to ignore the troll trying to systematically ruin them?
Its your call.
Edit :
Some more information has been found. Apparently the conversation in the pic happened in December 2011. Almost 2 years ago!
So why didn't this come out sooner?
Because its being used as ammunition to slander people and was likely only recently discovered by trawling through old records. Which then begs the question of how it was found given the Deathrockets facebook page has been dead and gone for over 6 months.
The plot thickens…
zxiri confessed: "It sort of annoys me when other goths say things like "I don't feel accepted as a goth because I don't like reading the same books as other goths, or don't have pale skin." or whatever. So what? Most goths don't like sports nor see the appeal in being a "jock", and some even think it makes you less of a goth. But that doesn't stop me from playing two high contact sports. I see it as an extention of my personality, not short comings. I doesn't mean I like Bauhaus any less than any other goths."
The image is Bauhaus ft. Peter Murphy's cheekbones.
If we were all the same life would be pretty boring. Goths are allowed to have outside interests and you don't have to be on 24/7.
People get confused because some people think the outside interests add to their goth character and define them as goth. So they perceive it as if 'I am a goth then everything I do must be goth too' or 'To be goth I must only have goth interests'. Both of these attitudes aren't healthy.
Define your gothiness in the goth things but like what you like too. As long as goth is in the mix you are fine. Or you could just be you and not attach a label at all.
blood-is-life-nevermore confessed: "
Why does he have to be considered goth?
You can be goth and like some non-goth things you know.
livelyarts confessed: "it makes me really sad to see so much goth fashion being assimilated into everyday fashion trends. i like being able to guess someone's music taste just by what they're wearing walking down the street and now all i have left are my winklepickers and big hair"
Pictured are Simon Gallup and Robert Smith
This isn't a new thing. Metal (in particular black/doom metal) has been borrowing from goth fashion for years. In turn goth has also borrowed from many other fashion styles.
The only real clue is if they are wearing a band tee or buttons/patches with goth bands on them. Or you could talk to them and not make assumptions.
Admin Note — I came out of my long slumber to respond to this confession made by Deletion.
For what it is worth, I think it is an absolute travesty that you would be made to feel this way by others. You know some horrible people if they shun you for these reasons. And please please don't do that to your skin! You should never have to do something so drastic to fit in. I don't know you, but I want you to know that I care about you. Just come here and I will hug you, and we can be goffbuddies! Never feel like you can't find a place to fit in! Please take a gander at this and know you are not alone! -Batss
I tan in Summer. I just go with it. Australia gets hot and you tan whether you like it or not unless you take extreme measures. Goth isn't all about being pasty white.
Anyone who says you can't be goth because you aren't white is an idiot and making the goth subculture look bad.
That said are you sure its the colour of your skin they have issue with? Maybe you did something to piss them off?
Anon confessed: "While you are definetely still goth if you appreciate the music and dont do the fashion,I still find it sad when see photos of my local goth club and 90% of the people arent dressed goth at all."
This visual pun is brought to you by Katze
Have you actually looked at videos/photos of goth bands from the 80s doing live performances? A lot of the crowd don't dress typically goth.
When I was new in the mid-late 90s it was the same. The whole idea of a goth club (if the club you mention is a goth club - people call anything dark alternative goth whether it is or isn't nowadays) being a sea of black is fairly modern. It really came to a head in the early 00s and unfortunately is still around.
I miss how it used to be where people weren't expected to dress in all black and fill the stereotypes. Made things more interesting and it was more inclusive. You don't have to be a goth to appreciate goth music nor do you have to be goth to enjoy a 'goth' club.
Just be you, enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy it too. As long as they aren't claiming to be goth if they clearly are not what harm are they doing? Its keeping your local scene alive.

Niger Migrants Die After Sahara Breakdown
The decomposing bodies, most of them women and children, are found in small groups after setting out to look for water.
Thousands of economic migrants pass through northern Niger. Pic: File
The migrants set out from the city of Arlit
The bodies of 87 migrants have been found in the desert in Niger, all having died of thirst after their vehicles broke down and they went in search of water.
The seven men, 32 women and 48 children were discovered a few miles from the border with Algeria, where they were believed to be heading.
Some of them had been eaten by jackals, local officials said.
The bodies of another five women and girls were found earlier.
All are said to have died earlier this month after setting out in late September.
Almoustapha Alhacen, from the local aid organisation Aghir In'man, said: "The corpses were decomposed; it was horrible.
"We found them in different locations in a 20km (12 mile) radius and in small groups, often under trees. Sometimes a mother and children, but some lone children, too."
He said the bodies were buried according to Muslim rites "as and when they were found".
Nigerien officials said on Monday that dozens of migrants, most of them women and children, had died of thirst in the Sahara desert earlier this month.
They were in two vehicles which broke down, one about 50 miles (80km) from Arlit in northern Niger from where they had set off, the other about 100 miles (160km) from the city.
"The first vehicle broke down. The second returned to Arlit to get a spare part after getting all the migrants it was carrying to alight, but it too broke down," said a security source.
"We think that the migrants were in the desert for seven days and on the fifth day they began to leave the broken down vehicle in search of a well."
The source said 21 people had survived. They included a man who walked to Arlit and a woman who was saved by a driver who came across her in the desert and took her back to Arlit.
Nineteen others reached the Algerian city of Tamanrasset but were sent back to Niger, the source added.
Niger is one of the world's poorest countries and has been hit by a series of food crises.
The UN's Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that at least 30,000 economic migrants passed through Agadez, northern Niger's largest city, between March and August of this year.
Libya, rather than Algeria, is generally the favoured country of transit for west Africans making the journey across the continent, many aiming to travel on to Europe.

Google spectre allows Sensis' TrueLocal deal
Summary: The Australian competition watchdog has allowed Telstra subsidiary Sensis to buy out directories business TrueLocal, because most of its services are also offered through Google.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has said it won't oppose Telstra's advertising subsidiary Sensis buying out directories business TrueLocal, because Google offers many of the same services.
The struggling Telstra-owned company announced in January this year that it would buy out TrueLocal from News Limited for an undisclosed amount, with News Limited shifting away from online business directories.
Today, the ACCC said it wouldn't oppose the deal, because it is unlikely to have a significant impact on competition in the industry, thanks in large part to Google.
"The merged firm would likely be strongly constrained by Google and its myriad of products that are increasingly replicating the online business directory listing model," the ACCC said.
" The constraint imposed by Google is being driven by technological change and consumers' increasing preference to obtain business information through Google in the first instance."
Sensis managing director John Allan welcomed the ACCC's decision, and said that TrueLocal will bring reviews to Yellow Pages advertisements.
"[TrueLocal] has a site with thousands of information-rich business listings and more than 200,000 user reviews, which enables the site to generate millions of searches each month," he said.
"TrueLocal will soon be complemented by listings from paid Yellow Pages online customers, which will extend our customers' presence across the Yellow Pages search network."
In February, Sensis announced that it would cut 648 roles as part of a restructure aimed at moving the ailing advertising business from being print focused to online advertising focused.

SOUTH PUNTA GORDA HEIGHTS, Fla. - Roger Lindsley and his wife spent their Thanksgiving Day gathering their belongings instead of sitting down for a meal with loved ones.
"I saw the car and it went right into the bedroom. It was horrible. The worse moment in my life", said Diane Lindsley.
Charlotte County Deputies say a mentally unstable woman plowed into their bedroom at the Triangle Motel Apartments just north of Notre Dame Boulevard and U.S. 41 Thursday morning.
"[She] went right towards my house. She didn't even try to, she just smacked right into my bedroom", added Roger Lindsley
Neighbors who heard the crash rushed to get everyone safely out including the couple's 20 year old cat.
"They don't have a home no more. They're going to have to go somewhere else. I feel sorry for them", said neighbor Denise Padgett.
Code Enforcement condemned the apartment and the couple will now have to find a new place to live.

Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant will try to play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite having a fractured left index finger, per ESPN's Ed Werder.
The Cowboy and their medical staff will come together to create a special protective device to help Bryant as he deals with the injury.
In order to play, Bryant will be delaying surgery. Doctors told the young star wideout that his fracture will require surgery, but he is still able to play with the injury at this time with the understanding it could create long term damage to his hand.
Bryant is willing to put that all on the line as the Cowboys have a key game against the Steelers.

"We make economics make sense, and useful to people," he said. Rather than spending time learning what is taught in courses such as macroeconomics, Taff said. "We use economics to help people solve problems that are important to them ... such as social issues." Taff also clarified that "I am accepting their science," in regard to global warming. He stated that it is not his job to question the validity, but merely to use economics to solve the problem.
In the lecture, Taff focused on carbon dioxide, specifically its emission through the production of electrical power. The current breakdown of power production in the upper Midwest, he said, is as follows: 51 percent sub-bituminous coal, 4 percent bituminous coal, 6 percent lignite coal, 26 percent nuclear power, 1 percent natural gas power, 11 percent hydrological power and 1 percent wind power. Commenting on St. Olaf's own wind turbine, Taff said, "I know you've got a windmill ... but wind is nothing compared to today's power" in the big picture. Taff said that carbon dioxide is a problem because it goes into the atmosphere and stays for a 100 years, whereas other gases, such as sulfur dioxide, go into the atmosphere and fall back down to the ground.
"We're stuck with it, and forced into important, long term horizons & decisions made now will affect things years later." The current goal set by the government is to lower carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent by the year 2055. Because of the long-term effects of the gas, however, Taff emphasized that decisions made now will have an impact on this goal. Equally important is the need to both continue meeting demand and to avoid raising prices whenever possible.
Taff argued that one of the biggest problems facing society is the replacement of old coal-burning power plants. Though the cheapest technology, coal-burning also releases the most carbon dioxide. "We've got some tension; the more we generate, the more we spend and the more carbon dioxide we generate," he said.
However, some spending is inevitable, since replacing the power plants in any way will cost money. The question Taff raised was which technology would be best to replace them. "We've got to keep the lights on, and we don't want to break the bank," he said, going back to the importance of both keeping up with demand and keeping costs down, viewed by many as having equal importance to lowering carbon dioxide emissions.
Taff explained that despite the long-term nature of these decisions, the decision forecast in economics changes all the time. "This year's decisions are shaped by last year's," he said.
In order to determine what might happen in the future, Taff used a program that can predict carbon dioxide emission levels from the present until the year 2055. The program, which can be set to consider such factors as keeping costs low and meeting demand, not only predicts the level of emissions, but also shows the breakdown of power production between different technologies. Taff used this in the lecture to first show the emissions levels if no restrictions are made on electrical power production. Although cost increases would be minimal, carbon dioxide emission would far exceed the required limits by 2055.
"Old dirty coal plants would be replaced with new dirty coal plants," Taff said. Next, Taff showed what would happen if such plants were banned and only other technology could be used. The result was that the next-cheapest technology, coal infusion, would be used instead, resulting in a larger price increase and similar carbon dioxide levels. His next suggestion was the use of a tax on coal production, so that it was legal as long as it was paid for. Although this prediction did meet emission requirements, Taff pointed out that it also resulted in a high increase of nuclear power use, which is seen as unsafe by many.
The main point Taff tried to make with these models, he said, was that there was no easy choice. "You're playing whack-a-mole here. ... One thing comes up, you fix that, and another thing comes up." One solution that most groups agree is best, he said, is conservation. "It's the cheapest way, but one we're never going to choose."
Taff finished by pointing out that there currently is no easy answer, merely many questions. "You have to ask, 'What do you prescribe?', 'Why do you think your scheme will work?', 'Who will be paying for it?', and finally, 'What if you're wrong?'" While he still believes the answer lies in the nation's production of electrical power, Taff focused on the magnitude of the issue and the plurality of solutions.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
October 23, 2007
Police say the sexual assault happened at Fire Station one Thursday. The 19 year old victim filed the report against 47 year old Gerald Whitehead, who surrendered Monday. The woman says Whitehead inappropriately touched her while she was visiting a family member at the fire station.
"A good portion of the events were admitted to by the fire fighter, so based on his information and the information we had we went ahead and took the warrants for sexual battery," said Americus Police Chief James Green.
Whitehead is on administrative leave.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Parkside is an OK school -- not great, not horrible. Rumors about the violence and gangstas is overrated. My kids felt safe there, and as a parent volunteer I felt comfortable there. Academics are not a strong suit at this school. Some of the teachers are great and prepare the students well, but most don't hold the kids to high standards and just let them slide. If your child is motivated to do well, however, s/he will do fine there. Principal means well but she makes too many decisions based on emotion and reaction to a situation -- she is not proactive and strategic. I think the school could be a lot better under more dynamic and smart leadership. Just being caring isn't enough. But socially it's a decent school -- and fitting in with friends is so important to middle schoolers.
The teachers and staff really care about helping the students. The new facility is bright and modern. The leadership is intelligent and dedicated to excellence. The diversity is wonderful.
I am surprised for all the bad reviews. My son has a learning disability and I have only kind words for the counselors, special ed. teachers and teachers in general. This school is good and it's sad that our own community is the one putting the school down. Instead of complaining get involved and make the difference.
I don't understand the bad reviews of Parkside. My daughter is in the 7th grade there, and she is having a wonderful experience. The teachers are involved and caring, and they are getting great performance from my daughter. It is an excellent school!
I would not recommend this school to anyone. This school failed to teach my daughter and when I approach the school with my concerns, nothing was done. It seems that this school district is failing to teach alot of students. Charter school is the way to go. After this school I had to do my own research on public schooling. I recommend viewing a documentary called "waiting for superman". You will find alot of answers there.
The current principle and vice principle is doing a wonderful job. I am, however, disappointed with a majority of the teachers. There are only a select few that are worth having your children go to Parkside. It is unfortunate to these amazing teachers that the rest are not up to the challenge of preparing and nurturing our students.
Parkside prepared my son well for high school. He's taking pre IB classes. The physics teacher is impressed with the knowledge they learn from Parkside and proven true by my son's perfect score in his science STAR test result in 8th grade. The principal and staff are very supportive.
I am an 8th grader at another school but i went to Parkside for my 7th grade year. I was not focused at all in my studies and the teachers don't care either. I was completely unprepared for what the school i go to now had up its sleeve. I thought I was learning but i was just there for my friends. I think Ms. Addiego is a bad principal. She doesn't really care about her students. She cares about it's reputation and it's bad enough already. And putting stupid uniform dress codes is not going to help the student's education. I really feel bad for the students there now, because I feel they are not learning as much as they are capable of. I loved living in San Bruno, but since I moved, I noticed there's a lot better out there. I suggest you don't send your child to Parkside...
This is a Response to the February 15, 2008 ! Parkside has the best teachers! I'm a current Cap Resident Freshman and taking all Pre-Ib classes . Parkside's 8th Grade As Teachers help you prepare for 9th grade. Ms. Isareal As class is soo difficult and the deadlines are soo soon. But I'm glad I took her class because it really help me prepared for high school. My english class is exactly the same but 9th grade material. But thank you Ms. Isareal for preparing me for high school. Ms. harames is the algebra teacher at Parkside and she is a great teacher ! She really gets you the idea of high school. Its work after work after work. But her tests was soo hard and her challenges were also difficult too. But if you payed attension and did you homework and asked for help. You'll do just fine !
I feel parksdide is a really great school and doesnt keep my kid isolated so he can be free but still get a great education> I also like the variety of culture and rase because i dont my kids to be all around one king and not know anything about the others. i rate this school a 10 out of 10
This is in response to the Feb1508 response and to anyone who thinks negatively about Parkside. I have a daughter who is a gate student and now a 9th grader at Cap and while attending Parkside she took AP classes. She was placed in these classes by her teacher possibly they didn't place this former student into these classes therefore causing them to be in over their head. 2nd as far as electives go the only one cut was Spanish. There are not 2 math classes unless you have math tech as an elective. I have had no problems with Parkside this is our 3rd year there, my son is in 8th gr. Every school has problems, fights etc. But I think it is up to the parents to lead their child in the right direction, know who their friends are. Don't depend on the school to do this for you.
If all parents of sixth grade students in San Bruno would send their children to Parkside then it could help make it an excellent school. Parkside has been improving academically and socially. Come together as a community and support our middle school. More parent involvement is always welcome. We can do it!
you know this school isnt excellent but its not terrible... i made some pretty good friends there and i came from a different district so i knew nobody and the teachers there are so welcoming i love ms. bilal this isnt a bad school people just make it seem that way because they had a bad expirence but more than most of the kids there love it
parkside is the best school ever!!! people are ignorant because they hear that its a bad school then they think their child is going to be bad and its not true it all depends on the student all schools are the same!!! and for the review before me is absolutely wrong!!! that is a lie about all the elective programs!!! we still have all of the electives and next year some students might have to take 2 math classes just like chore is taught in two periods!!! This Is an awesome!!!! all my teachers truly care!!! visit the school if you dont believe me!!! then how did mr.bowman become a teacher?? if sopposely parkside is a bad school?? he graduated from parkside and cap!!!!! Ms. Swartz rocks!!! I love her!!!
I went to parkside for two years and in all honesty, it was a terrible school. They had absolutely nothing there, and nothing was taken seriously there. After parkside, i came to capuchino high school, which if you don't already know has the international baccelaureate program which serves college level classes. I took all of the pre-ib classes and guess what happened: i was not prepared for anything. I knew abolsutely nothing and thus i'm still struggling whereas those who went to burlingame intermediate or taylor middle school in millbrae are doing just fine. Do not send your soon-to-be teenager to parkside as this school does absolutely nothing to help them get ready for high school. And i have also learned that parkside has canelled all arts program, including spanish. That means that music, art, computers, and spanish are no longer offered at this school. All in all, bad school!
I like the school!!!! It's a great school and hope more people realize that its a wonderful for their kids to go at.
I wouldn't advise any child with a diability to attend Parkside. The administration and the teachers are extrememly uneducated and prejudice against students with disbilities. The school board from this district as well as the district superintendant refused to act on my complaint. The teachers refuse to acknowledge disabilities. I have had two children with disabilities at this school and it was a nightmare for both of them. Parent concerns are swept under the rug. I would have moved out of San Bruno to avoid this school if I could have.
I have had my child attending Parkside for two years now. My experience with the Principal and most of the teachers has been, at best lacking. There seems little follow through nor concern for the students. I would never again send my child to this school, in fact, I am considering moving out of this area. San Bruno might have been a lovely suburb, but the schools seem to have the bottom of the barrel.
My child attended very briefly, we sold our home and moved. Some of the kids at this school are the most disrespectful I have ever seen. Absolutely no respect for authority. I wasn't expecting such a rough atmosphere at school. I always thought San Bruno was a family community so it was really sad to see that so many parents have dropped the ball when it comes to raising their children. I also was not impressed by the new principal or the turnover of teachers.
I find that the communications between the principal and the parent, lacking. I have tried repeatedly to schedule appointments with no return calls or email. School Loop is a wonderful tool, however, only two of my son's 7 teachers post assignments on it, there are no grades posted and little feedback from the other 5 teachers. I think Parkside could be a wonderful school if there was more interaction between those teaching our students and parents who are concerned with their children.
