Since Village Voice Media and its predecessor, New Times, began publishing the SF Weekly in 1995, our employees have grown accustomed to constant and unwelcome contact from Bruce Brugmann, the publisher and co-owner of the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
It is by now common knowledge that Brugmann sued SF Weekly and VVM in 2002, accusing us of selling advertising below cost in an effort to drive him out of business. After a six-week trial last year in which he portrayed his larger, more profitable newspaper as the hapless victim of a rapacious chain, Brugmann received a $15.6 million judgment, despite not calling a single advertiser to the stand to testify on his behalf. That case is now on appeal.
And Brugmann's shake-down lawsuit was only his most recent assault on the Weekly.
In their earliest stages, Brugmann's attacks came in the form of mass emails that were blasted across the New Times chain and occasioned much head-scratching from writers in places like Miami and Denver who couldn't figure out why this strange man in San Francisco kept messaging them asking for dirt on their bosses. Much like the letters journalists routinely receive from readers residing in mental wards, these single-spaced missives arrived punctuated with multiple exclamation points and seemingly endless post-scripts. More >>Less >>
Brugmann also made a habit of damning our company to anyone who would listen, eagerly handing out quotes to journalists writing stories about New Times or VVM. In 1996, he famously told the San Francisco Examiner that San Francisco "would be our Afghanistan."
In the past, Brugmann's boasts were often dismissed as mindless bravado. After all, the man who embraces his nickname as the "grandiose goose" is a rare bird among newspaper publishers: one whose entry on Wikipedia matter-of-factly notes that he has "a mixed reputation in journalism circles" and is fond of "embracing conspiracy theories."
Lately, however, it is getting harder to laugh off Brugmann's bombast.
The Guardian's lawsuit against VVM is a frightening example of a vendetta gone viral. It is our hope that this Web site will serve as a reality check for readers or reporters who might be interested in the case. We intend to provide updates relating to the litigation; to report on public documents that may be made available through the proceedings; to point out Brugmann's history of hypocrisy; and to provide an archive of stories we believe provide context to the Guardian's ongoing jihad.
It is our contention that Brugmann's lawsuit twists the truth--like much of what he publishes in his newspaper. We have made the case that Brugmann is a flim-flam man before, and we intend to keep making it--in large part by directing people to the public record.
In June 2007, Village Voice Media filed a motion for summary judgment in response to Brugmann's lawsuit. In that motion, VVM asked San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer to dismiss the suit, arguing among other things that the Bay Guardian simply hadn't provided evidence of wrongdoing. SF Weekly managing editor Will Harper covered the filing with a story that made clear just how ragged Brugmann's case really was.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2007-07-11/news/unfair-lawsuit-act/Read day-by-day coverage of the trial
Click the following links for relevant motions filed:
[View PDF 1]On March 6, 2002, Guardian editor Tim Redmond, using prose worthy of a battlefield correspondent, intoned that the Guardian "had launched the first stage of a legal offensive" against the Weekly. Following the familiar Guardian pattern of building news stories by chasing its own tail, the only sources quoted in the story were an earlier lawsuit filed against New Times by the Guardian itself, a letter from the Guardian's attorney to New Times, two earlier stories the Guardian had printed attacking New Times, and Brugmann himself. In other words, the Guardian managed to quote itself in four different ways.
http://www.sfbg.com/36/23/news_sfweekly.htmlPerhaps not surprisingly, given the complete absence of reporting or evidence in Redmond's story, then-SF Weekly editor John Mecklin had little trouble picking apart Redmond's claims. In "It's the Journalism, Bruce," Mecklin cited specific inaccuracies in Redmond's story and suggested to readers that, if the Guardian was having financial troubles, it likely had more to do with the paper's tedious prose style and affection for pet political projects than it did with the Weekly's business practices.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2002-03-06/news/it-s-the-journalism-bruce/On October 27, 2004, a week after Brugmann filed suit against SF Weekly and New Times, Mecklin responded with a column which pointed out that the lawsuit essentially regurgitated the same claims already disproven by Mecklin two years earlier. (The Guardian coverage is the second item in the column.)
http://www.sfweekly.com/2004-10-27/news/of-asterisks-and-small-pols/In February 2005, Mecklin wrote a story skewering Brugmann's claim that the Weekly was illegally selling ads below costs --- and laying out a case that, in fact, it was the Guardian that was guilty of offering ads at less than it cost to produce them. Mecklin also revealed that Brugmann had made an ill-fated foray into the high-stakes world of San Francisco real estate, a venture that no doubt crimped his bottom line. Further, Mecklin put the lie to Brugmann's description of the Guardian as a "family owned" paper fighting against a corporate monolith --- a conceit that perhaps reflected Brugmann's nostalgic memories of the family store his father and grandfather ran back in Rock Rapids. In fact, Mecklin noted, the Guardian's 2002 statement of ownership listed thirteen people as owning at least 1 percent of the paper --- and only three of those appeared to be family members. In an ironic twist given Brugmann's habit of casting New Times and VVM as a metaphorical Great Satan, one of his own investors proved to be a man who once purchased the Church of Satan as a favor to his friend, Satanist Anton LaVey -- and who had pled guilty to four charges involving teenage prostitutes.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2005-02-02/news/reason-to-questionIn August 2005, peeved that his paper hadn't won any awards from theEast Bay Press Club, Brugmann launched a full frontal assault on theorganization. Brugmann was particularly upset that the East Bay Express, a NewTimes/VVM paper, won twelve first-place awards to Brugmann's goose egg.And, true to his nature, Brugmann saw a complex conspiracy behind itall.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2007-06-20/news/the-loser-s-circle/In the summer of 2005, Brugmann ran a series of ads railing against thefact that the Weekly had run advertising from the Clear Channel company,which booked music events in San Francisco. Among other things, Brugmannclaimed, "Clear Channel equals monopoly media ... Clear Channel equalsBush." Yet Brugmann himself had ahistory of running Clear Channel ads, and only seemed to recognize thecompany's inherent evil when it did business with his competition.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2007-06-20/news/hypocritical-mass/For years now, Brugmann has pontificated about the ownership structureat New Times and VVM, noting, among other things, that venturecapitalists have invested in the company. This somewhat mundane factseems to offend his sense of moral propriety. But in an article written prior to New Times' merger with Village Voice, New Times' investors looked squeaky clean compared to one of Brugmann's co-owners, an old man with a thing for crack cocaine and underagegirls.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2007-06-20/news/pieces-of-the-action/A sterling example of Brugmann's hypocrisy on labor issues is his long-time habit of employing legions of unpaid interns in apparent violation of the state labor code. In "Must Work for Free," published in February 2007, SF Weekly staff writer Martin Kuz pointed out how the Guardian and other Bay Area publications routinely take advantage of impressionable would-be journalists.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2007-02-28/news/must-work-for-free/In July 2002, Weekly staff writer Peter Byrne revealed that Brugmann had repeatedly violated open-meeting rules after being named to a city task force --- whose job, ironically enough, was to enforce the state's open-meeting laws. Brugmann later claimed the violations were unintentional, despite the fact that in one case he privately encouraged members of the committee to support a lawsuit filed against the city by a securities broker whose case he was championing in the Guardian.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2001-07-04/news/where-the-sun-don-t-shine/In October 2002, Weekly news columnist Matt Smith wrote a story about the double standards of wealthy San Franciscans who were opposing a ballot measure that would have allowed thousands of renters to buy their own apartments. Guess who was living in a $600,000 hillside home while using his newspaper to fight against the measure?
http://www.sfweekly.com/2002-10-16/news/you-don-t-own-me/Brugmann had long railed in the Guardian against business or individuals who were violating the city's rule that only working artists could live in so-called "live-work" buildings. But, as Byrne revealed in June 2001, the Guardian was using one of those industrial lofts as an office.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2001-06-27/news/people-who-work-in-glass-houses/One of Brugmann's favorite pastimes is running elections guides each year in which he instructs San Franciscans on how to vote. What those readers often don't know is the extent to which Brugmann has behind-the-scenes connections to the issues or the candidates. In 2001, as an experiment, Byrne analyzed Brugmann's endorsements, and discovered that they were rife with conflicts of interest and hidden interests -- a perfect example, in fact, of how Brugmann's thirst for political pull makes it impossible for him to report honestly on San Francisco politics.
http://www.sfweekly.com/2001-10-10/news/dog-bites/That same obsession with becoming a powerbroker surfaced in April 2001, when the Weekly's Mecklin and Byrne reported on how Brugmann had funneled tens of thousands of dollars to a campaign committee pushing a ballot measure that would require the city to create a municipal utility district. This district would seize power from the Guardian's longtime nemesis, Pacific Gas & Electric, thus completing Brugmann's quest for his own Holy Grail. But as Mecklin noted, Brugmann's paper routinely lavished praise on the MUD without stopping to remind readers it was the principal financial backer of the campaign measure. And as Byrne reported, most experts believed the ballot measure was a quixotic, idealogically driven idea that was likely to backfire in the real world of electrical generation and distribution.
Byrne's feature:http://www.sfweekly.com/2001-04-04/news/delusions-of-power/This was the scene on Valencia Street on a recent Sunday: The sun was out. The air was mild. A temperate November day, of the sort that reminds you you're… More >>

Venus-Sun Conjunctions, The Pentagram and the 'Dance of the Inconjuncts"
The following is an excerpt of a post I made today at another forum about the Venus Sun conjunctions of which the last occurred on June 5-6th, this month.
if anyone is interested in the rest of the original thread that resulted in this 'discovery' that I'm sharing here...here's a link: http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/sh ... hp?t=51423
...posted as follows from post #20...
"...It was the fact that my brothers' natal M.C. came up also in one of the overlapping sequences in which by using each of our Mid Havens and then constructing a perfect matrix for it that these matrices come up in-conjunct all around at every point.
Based on what I have so far it seems to be and endless pattern of each inferior conjunction is followed by a superior conjunction that when perfect matrices of pentagrams are constructed for both they are thus inconjunct to one another...
Folks... I believe we may have discovered a new axiom!
...as the superior conjunction on 6/5/2008 at 18* Gemini 42' that followed the inferior one on 8/18/2007 at 24* Leo 15' and thus created a perfectly inconjunct pentagram to the one before it a little less than 10 mos. prior was followed by an inferior conjunction a little less than 10 mos. later by an inferior conjunction on 3/27/09 at 07* Aries 15' which in turn was followed less than 10 mos later on 1/12/2010 by a superior conjunction at 19* Capricorn 19'..."

Dr. Edelstein at Weslaco Border Animal Hospital tells Action 4 News that when Dingo, one of his most recent patients came through the door, he had a swollen and bloody jaw. Dingo's owner Roy Penaloza, said that's how he found his dog just a few houses down from his own, after he got out from the back yard.
"I saw he was injured with what we believed to be blunt force trauma from a golf club or something," Penaloza said. "But the vet called me last night and said he had been shot."
Edelstein said he took out bullet fragments from Dingo's jaw, which is now broken and will need reconstructive surgery.
"He's going to have to have all the infection out of there, all of the dead tissue is going to have to come out, then he'll have to have a bone plate put in there for it to heal," Edelstein said.
Penaloza is feeling the pain of his pet's injury and wants action against whoever pulled the trigger. He believes it was a neighbor in the Treasure Hills area that shot his dog.
Penaloza has already filed a report with the Harlingen Police Department.
"Animal cruelty has to stop," Penaloza said. "Right now Dingo has made it several days through severe pain, and I hope it doesn't go in vein."
Edelstein said he's seen cases of animal cruelty is puzzled about why anyone would want to hurt a seemingly passive animal.
"It's a shame that a sweet dog got hurt," Edelstein said. "I can understand if someone is being attacked by a dog, but this is a sweet dog." Anyone who would like to help Penaloza with Dingo's veterinary expenses can call Weslaco Border Animal Hospital and as for account number 46436.

Debate: Cain or Kershaw?
The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants have one of the longest standing rivalries in all of baseball. However, this year is one of the first times in a long time that they have been playing meaningful games against one another with NL West division championship implications. One of those important games will be going down tonight, as the Dodgers will be taking on the Giants at AT&T Park.
Clayton Kershaw is clearly the ace of the Dodgers' staff, and Matt Cain is the ace among aces for the Giants. Both of these young guns project to have very bright futures. But which ace would you want to have on your team for the remainder of their careers?
Argument for Cain (SF):
1. Durability
-No matter the results, you can be assured that Cain will have 30+ starts and 200+ IP in a season. He is a steady force for one of, if not the best, rotations in baseball.
2. Control Pitcher
-For the most part, Cain pitches to contact, and he lives on the corners of the plate. Without a high 90s fastball in his repertoire, he depends on pinpoint accuracy to dominate hitters.
3. Movement
-His fastball velocity has been trending down over the past few years, but his whiff rate is going up. This is due to the movement on his fastball and his highly effective off-speed pitches.
Argument for Kershaw (LAD):
1. In the Groove -
For most Major League pitchers, there is a sizeable learning curve. He seems to have skipped right over that. At only 24 years of age, Kershaw has found his groove as one of the best pitchers in the game.
2. Strikeout Machine
-Kershaw, who is leading now, could lead the NL in strikeouts for the second straight year. This is his third straight 200+ strikeouts season in a row.
3. ERA Force
-Aside from his rookie campaign at the age of 20, Kershaw's ERA has not finished over 3.00 in any year since. His career ERA is just 2.86. What more could the Dodgers ask for from this kid?
My Choice: Kershaw
1. Trending
- The more that I looked at the two of them, the more I realized that this is not even a close comparison. Kershaw continues to trend upwards and towards being the best pitcher in baseball while Cain is trending neutral and towards just being the best pitcher on his team (which is still quite the accomplishment).
2. Consistency
- As great as Cain has looked this season, he has not been as solid over his entire career. Aside from his perfect game (which was absolutely outstanding), Cain has had an above-average but not outstanding career. Kershaw's career has yet to have a major lull, and his consistency over the past three years especially has been quite impressive.
3. Age
-Kershaw is three years younger than Cain. As I mentioned before, it has taken Kershaw much less time to find his groove in the majors, and he has many more years to continue to dominate.
Be sure to tweet to @MLBFanCave and @KyleOKC with your pick of either Cain or Kershaw and why using the hashtag #CaveDebate.

We enjoyed a very nice evening in this restaurant during our visit to Bremen in August 2013. The food was great, the service was friendly and good and the atmosphere in the restaurant excellent. Highly recommended.
A relative and I chose to visit this restaurant on a stop over in Bremen because of the good reviews it got here. The waiters screwed it up, however. We got different dishes from what we ordered, and even recognizing this, the waiter tried to persuade us to eat what we got instead of correcting the mistake. I was satisfied,... More
I had read reviews on this restaurant that describe it as the best restaurant in Bremen. I think that is overstating the fact. It is a good restaurant of that there is no doubt but it has some drawbacks. Although I ordered a starter it never arrived, on the plus side I was never charged for it. The wines whilst... More
Excellent in every detail!! Superb meals ( delicious pasta and fish,not mentioning desserts-at least those I tried), fantastic wine and just wonderful service. Waiters( especially a Dutch man with fluent Engish and even more fluent waiter manners) worth the best assessment. Though it is not a cheap place it is absolutely worth the money.
I have lived in Bremen for four years. I love food and trying new restaurants but hadn't really found anything that impressed me or made me want to go back for more. This restaurant ended that streak. First off, the service was amazing! The restaurant is pretty small but they accommodated my group of 8. Several of us speak limited... More
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Martin is a wonderful waiter and adds a personal feel to the experience. I highly recommend the saltinbucca. A must visit place any time you are in Bremen.
We came here twice in December and were very impressed. The first time we had no reservation, but the solution-oriented waiters shuffled a few tables around and managed to squeeze us in. The menu contains selected high quality Italian fare, which they do extremely well. I ate the tortellini with beef filet strips, which was very good. my friends and... More
At this time of year, restaurants in Bremen are very busy and during our four day stay we struggled to book the ones we had highlighted from reviews. Fortunately staff at Prizeotel managed to get us in here, must have been a cancellation, and it was perfect for a birthday celebration.The service from the staff was warm and friendly and... More
Genuine italian food, very attentative staff and good service. There are alot of repeat visitors here. For the quality price is fair and you get the feeling the staff cares. Highly reccomended.

Kurtley Beale may yet play Test rugby next month, but uncertainty clouds the return to action of his injured Wallabies captain James Horwill.
Lock Horwill will seek advice from Australian and overseas specialists on a troubling hamstring injury but Beale's shoulder problem isn't as bad as first feared.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said on Monday that backline star Beale would miss the four June Tests against Scotland and Wales due to a shoulder injury.
Beale, who suffered the damage while playing for Melbourne against the Hurricanes last Saturday, underwent minor washout surgery later on Monday in Melbourne.
He will continue his rehabilitation when he joins the Wallabies camp in Brisbane next week, following Tuesday's Test against Scotland in Newcastle.
A Wallabies spokesperson said there was some hope the gifted back might yet play a part in the three-Test series against Six Nations champions Wales later in June.
The news wasn't so positive for Horwill, who will miss the four June Tests and won't know when he will be able to play again until consulting specialists.
"Initially it's probably worse than what we were hoping," said Horwill, who described the injury he suffered against the Brumbies last Saturday as a freak incident.
"There's a couple of guys here in Australia and we're also trying to get some advice from people around the world about what the best course of action is."
Horwill has no prior experience with hamstring injuries.
"I've never torn my hamstring, I'm not fast enough to do that mate," Horwill joked.
"I got caught awkwardly in a clear out and two guys got me and I guess it was the wishbone-type injury where my leg was trapped and it sort of got bent back and got put in an unnatural position.
"I felt a bit of a pop in the back of my leg, so that's when I knew something wasn't right."
With Horwill and Dan Vickerman both injured, 101-cap veteran Nathan Sharpe is the only seasoned second rower in the Australia train-on squad.
Of the five other locks named in the squad, Horwill's Reds teammate Rob Simmons has won 16 caps, the Melbourne duo of Hugh Pyle and Cadeyrn Neville and the Waratahs' Kane Douglas have all yet to play a Test and NSW giant Sitaleki Timani has made just one international appearance.
Horwill felt 23-year-old Simmons had a huge future.
"Rob Simmons in the last month or so has been in fantastic form for the Reds," Horwill said.
"He's a guy that I think will really push on with more Tests under his belt, so I'm expecting big things from him."
Reds utility back Ben Lucas was added to the train-on squad on Tuesday after completing some fitness requirements.

So today I was chatting it up in IRC, enjoying my life when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Who could it be, I wondered. I backflipped away from the computer and towards the door. When I arrived, I looked through the peephole in the door. Ok, it wasn't a peephole, it was just a bullet hole in the door.
I was shocked to find that it was no one that I knew. Shocked. It was an elderly couple. "OH NOES!" I said, "They must be lost, or in grave danger. Also, they are quite old." I opened the door looked them straight in the eye and said, "Yo." Old man- "Young man, this is not solicitation in any way. We are not trying to sell you anything. Only trying to enrich your life." Me- "Enrich it how? Like with gold? Chocolate? Gold covered chocolate, and the chocolate is covering more gold? Explain yourself!" Old man- "I come to help you young people, for you are heading down a road of destruction." Me- "OHHHh like that song. "HIiiiiighway to the DANGER ZONE, DANGER ZONE!" Old man- "What we offer is free bu-" Me- "I'll take seven. And I'm not paying more than 20 a piece." Old man- "What?" Me- "..... your mother." Old man- "This is what I was talking about. Young people today have no respect and will forever burn in the evil firey burning hellish hellfire." Me- "Pyooo pyoooo." Old man- "Son, you need to listen to me." Me- "How can I listen to you if I... got your nose! Got your nose! OH! OOOOH! Got your nose." Old man- "First of all you don't have my nose. Secondly, what does that have to doe with you listening to me?" Me- "I'll tell you, but it's going to cost you SIXTEEN MILLION DOLLARS!" Old man- "Go to hell." I'm still not sure what he wanted, but he sure was neat. -------------------- What do you mean you don't know me? I'm in IRC all the time.

5 month old puppy with lots of fear? HELP!
Hi all. Background. Purchased 8 month old GSD from FL kennel however dog was full of fear, anxiety and timidity. Shipped first dog back to kennel. Breeder shipped us a 15+ week old puppy in exchange for the other dog. Dogs are unrelated.
Puppy is of WGSL. She is currently 20 weeks. Sire is Peik Vom Holtkamper Hof, if this helps any. Currently being treated for puppy pyoderma dx'd by vet after she arrived. When she arrived she was o-kay. A bit timid in areas where we feel she shouldn't have been and it has escalated. She is literally afraid of shadows, dogs barking, new people, if you approach her too quickly, if she's caught off guard and the list seems to be growing. We were running around our house in the dark playing with the kids and my husband literally scared the pee out of her. She ran and cowered in the corner barking and yelping. I walked outside early evening yesterday and she ran up to me tail tucked, hunched up like a coyote, growling at me. Her behaviors are not typical of a well bred GSD. Vet said she doesn't appear to be blind or anything remotely close to it? She actually snapped at me today when I was adjusting her collar. We have had GSD's in the past and she is nothing like them. Her fear level really bothers us. She is also very clingy looking for security even when just in the backyard. Separation anxiety as well. She's afraid of the dark when it comes to going out at night also. Is there a way to build confidence or is this poor breeding somewhere in the lines? At this point, I am concerned that she is going to turn into a fear biter. She has had only 1 set of puppy shots and no rabies shot at this point as I am well aware of vaccine injury. She is fed raw in am and grain free dry kibble in pm. Any advice? Any recommendations? Any good solid trainers in York, Pennsylvania? or surrounding area? Thanks in advance. |

Have you ever visited the kennel to check conditions? It sounds like that kennel might be a possible puppy mill. Don't buy from that breeder again, get your money back and don't accept another dog in exchange.
Who knows what caused it. Might be a genetic mess or it might just never be handled by people in the way it needs to be handled at a young age. This is why I prefer to get mine at 7-8 weeks so that I can establish a primary bond. early. 1 dog like that from a breeder showing fear and anxiety could be an honest breeder mistake. 2 that are unrelated and that kennel has a serious problem. |

You are in a more difficult situation and there are thing you can do that may make this better. Not sure returning her will do anything for her and may be strike 3 if they just send you another dog.
Good luck, hoping some of these sites may help: 01 Timid Dogs - the Best Approach - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company! Fearfuldogs.com Helping The Shy or Fearful Dog Homeward Trails Animal Rescue | Pet Adoption in VA, DC, MD Shyness and Fear in Dogs and Puppies | Dog and Puppy Training Since you don't really know her life experience before you got her, it's hard to know how much of this is genetic and if something happened that was traumatic for her to make her more extreme. But there are things you can do to manage the situation and help get her confidence up.

According to VentureBeat, Xbox executive Don Mattrick mentioned during a GamesBeat panel that Halo 4 "will work with" Microsoft's recently-revealed tablet, Surface. No details were given but the platform holder has said that all first-party games will include SmartGlass functionality so you can probably expect something of that ilk.

GCC 4.2.2 Fixes Bugs
The developers of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) have published the new 4.2.2 version just three months after the previous release.
Just like the previous version 4.2.2 is a bugfix release. According to Mark Mitchell the developers have fixed bugs that affected GCC 4.2.1 and earlier versions, although the anounce mail does not specify what they are. The stable version 4.2, which was released in May, included a number of changes and new features.
The current version completes the migration of the GNU Compiler Collection to GPL Version 3; this step was announced with the release of GCC 4.2.1, however, the previous version of GCC was still under GPLv2. Older code which was previously GPLv2 licensed will stay that way. New code will be released under GPL generation three from now on.
The source code is available from the GNU project's FTP servers.

Web Survey Bibliography
In 2006, we began a multi-year effort to evaluate the possibility of transitioning from a regularly conducted telephone survey of general public satisfaction with Oregon transportation services to either a mail-only or Web-plus-mail mixed-mode design. Two primary objectives were: 1) to identify ways to counter the trend toward lower telephone survey response rates and 2) to evaluate the impact of alternative designs on data quality.
Three experiments were conducted for which unit response rates analyses have been reported elsewhere (Lesser and Newton, 2007; Lesser et al., 2011a; Lesser et al., 2011b). In this study, we consider whether switching from telephone to mail or a combination of mail and Web will have a deleterious effect on item nonresponse, as previous research has suggested (e.g., de Leeuw et al., 2003).
Thus, our purpose is to examine overall item nonresponse rates for each of the individual modes and mode combinations. Implications for replacing telephone by these alternatives are also discussed.

Gastrointestinal (GI) obstructions most often occur in people with ovarian or colorectal cancers, but they may occur in people with cancers of the stomach, uterus, prostate, bladder, or other cancers as well. In a healthy person, the intestines move food and fluids through the GI tract (including the stomach, intestines, and bowel), and enzymes, fluids, and electrolytes help the body absorb nutrients. In a person with a GI obstruction, the food and fluids can't move through the system, and peristalsis (the normal contractions that the intestines make to move the food) can cause intense pain. If left untreated, a GI obstruction is a serious and even life-threatening problem.
People with a GI obstruction may experience the following symptoms:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain from the obstruction
- Cramping from the movement of the intestine as it tries to move food along
- Inability to have a bowel movement or pass gas, despite an urge to do so
Relieving side effects, also called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care, is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you may experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
The treatment of a GI obstruction depends on the cause. GI obstructions are often treated with surgery, in which the surgeon clears a path for the food to continue through the GI tract. Sometimes, a GI obstruction is due to stool (feces) that has become hard and difficult to pass. Enemas and other measures can resolve this issue. If the obstruction is caused by twisting of bowel that can be reversed, the health care team will recommend that you rest the GI tract by not eating or drinking and instead receive intravenous (IV, through a vein) feedings to for a few days to make sure you stay hydrated.
In people who cannot have surgery, other procedures may help relieve the symptoms caused by a GI obstruction:
- Delivering fluids through an IV tube
- Using a nasogastric tube (a tube that is inserted through the nose down to the stomach) to remove the contents of the stomach and prevent further pain
- Placing a stent (an expandable tube) into the site of the obstruction to help food move more easily through the GI tract
In addition, your doctor may give you medication to address nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, inflammation, or pain.

SMOKING PROHIBITION ADDENDUM - The Berkeley Rent Board is committed to promoting safe and healthy housing for all. To ensure that rental units remain smoke free, landlords should always include a smoking prohibition clause in a lease agreement for a new tenancy.

Ahlin had been hoping to kick-start his title campaign following a run of frustrating results in the young driver-training series for identical Ford Fiesta R2s using Pirelli control tyres.
He was third overall after three stages, 7.5s down on leader Elfyn Evans when he went off the road. Although he and co-driver Morten Erik Abrahamsen were uninjured, damage to the car's roll cage meant they were unable to restart.
After three stages, Evans holds a narrow advantage, 2.8.s up on title leader Alastair Fisher with Brendan Reeves third after a spin on stage three and Timo van der Marel fourth. John MacCrone is fifth with Pontus Tidemand, who went fastest on stage two, in sixth place.
"We struggled to get a rhythm early on in the first stage but we improved from there and I'm very happy to be on top after a long first day," said Evans, who was fastest on stage one. "The car was fantastic with no problems at all. It was a great start, I just need to maintain it tomorrow."
Fisher, who was quickest on stage three, added: "Maybe I didn't attack the first stage to its full potential as we were conscious that it was the stage we had an accident on last year. But we got into a really good rhythm right from the start on the last stage and we were happy with the result. The car was perfect and well balanced."

Diane Kurys (born December 3, 1948) is a French filmmaker and actress. Several of her films as director are autobiographical. Born in Lyon, Rhône, France, her parents divorced when she was a child. She began as an actress with Jean-Louis Barrault's company. She gained film stardom, but didn't like the roles she was given or taking orders from others. With a government grant, she made her first film as director, Diabolo menthe (1977) (aka Peppermint Soda), which explored her life as a child of divorced parents, and focused on her relationship with her sister, to whom she dedicated the movie.
Cocktail Molotov (1980) was her next film. In Coup de Foudre (1983) (aka Entre Nous), the divorce issue is revisited, with Isabelle Huppert playing the heroine's mother. Kurys made her first English-language film, A Man in Love, in 1987. C'est la vie (aka La Baule-les-Pins) (1990) returned to her alter-ego leading character's adolescent… read more

General View
Malaysia is divided into two distinct parts: Peninsular Malaysia and the East Malaysian provinces of Sabah and Sarawak in North Borneo. The two regions are 650km (403mi) apart, separated by the South China Sea. Peninsular Malaysia shares borders with Thailand and Singapore. Sabah and Sarawak border Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo), and Sarawak surrounds the tiny enclave of Brunei. The Andaman Sea is on the west coast of the peninsula. The east coast of the peninsula, Sabah, and Sarawak all adjoin the South China Sea. Peninsular Malaysia accounts for 40 percent of the country's land mass. Several mountain ranges run north-south along the spine of the peninsula. There is a wide, fertile plain on the west coast, and a narrow coastal plain on the east. Sabah and Sarawak are covered by dense jungles and have large river systems. Mt Kinabalu (4101m/13,450ft) in Sabah is one of the highest peaks in South-East Asia. More than 60 per cent of the country is still rainforest, but a government plan to build a huge hydroelectric dam in Sarawak is expected to decimate 27,600ha (69,000ac) of forest, which does not augur well for the future. There are 8000 species of flowering plants in Peninsular Malaysia alone, including 2000 tree species, 800 different orchids and 200 types of palm. Fauna includes elephants, rhinos, tigers, leopards, tapirs, sun bears, orangutans and gibbons. East Malaysia has one of the most abundant and varied bird populations in the world. Malaysia is hot and humid all year. Temperatures are usually between 20-30°C (68-86°F); humidity is usually 90 per cent. The region has a monsoonal climate, but only the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia has a real rainy season. The wettest season on the west coast of the peninsula is between September and December; on the east coast and in Sabah and Sarawak it's between October and February. Rain, when it comes, generally interrupts the sunshine only briefly; most of it falls in short, strong bursts.

MyCEB Wraps The Year Up With Roadshow In Australia
With the objective to accelerate the business growth from Australia as well as globally, the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) recently conducted its Roadshow in Australia spanning two cities namely Melbourne and Sydney. The MyCEB team was joined by eight industry partners including Penang Global Tourism, Sabah Tourism Board, Malaysia Airlines, Discovery Overland Holidays Sdn Bhd, Pacific World, UCSI Communication Sdn Bhd, Accor and CHM Hotels.
Targeting the thriving corporate and incentive segment of the industry, this cornerstone initiative by MyCEB was first organised early this year and received numerous positive feedbacks from the Australian industry players. Ms Ho Yoke Ping, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, MyCEB explained, "Australia is viewed as one of the most promising markets in Asia Pacific and this roadshow has provided an opportunity for Australian corporate and incentive planners to meet and engage with our Malaysian business event industry partners. The programmes lined up during the roadshow showcased the best of what Malaysia has to offer which includes destination presentations via an interactive and informative networking dinner attended by more than 50 Australian corporate and incentive planners."
During the networking dinner, a special appearance was made by Poh Ling Yeow, or better known as Poh from the popular cooking show Poh's Kitchen. Born and raised in Malaysia, Poh is a prominent chef as well as the runner up for Masterchef Australia 2009. With her expertise in the culinary industry, Poh prepared a Malaysian inspired menu for the dinner in relation to her Malaysian heritage.
According to Poh, "In many ways I feel that I owe my food career to my Chinese Malaysian heritage. Being exposed to so many exotic ingredients and flavors has instilled in me an approach to cooking which is truly vibrant and unique. It was a pleasure for me to showcase this at MyCEB's networking dinner."
Apart from Poh's participation, the highly interactive networking dinner also featured fun games and quiz segments to introduce Malaysia's offerings to attendees. MyCEB also took the opportunity to introduce its new campaign and incentive brochure, 'Malaysia - Asia like never before' - an informative Guide which is essential for all corporate and incentive planners who are looking for new and unique programmes to experience in Malaysia. The campaign showcases Malaysia as a unique destination for activities such as 'Team Building' and 'Theme Events & Experiences'. Another activity included in the Guide is cooking classes, similar to the session conducted by Poh.
MyCEB's roadshow in Australia wraps up their sales and marketing calendar for 2012 which forms part of its effort to position Malaysia as Asia's business events hub.

2010: the year of Gaga
Maybe they should just rename them the Video Monster Awards. Lady Gaga, who has already won three Video Music Awards, received a record 13 nominations for this year's VMAs, including Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Video of the Year. Eminem received eight nods, the most for any male artist, and Justin Bieber leads a crowded field in the Best New Artist category, where he'll square off (and, c'mon, he's gotta win, right?) against Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Jason Derulo and Broken Bells. But who cares, really? This year, the VMAs will be all about the Gaga.
The MTV Video Music Awards will air Sunday, Sept. 12 on MTV, live from from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. Gaga is not confirmed to perform yet—only Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake, B.o.B. and Florence and the Machine have been announced so far—but we're betting she's in negotations with MTV as we speak. Stay tuned for further details, and click through the gallery to see more nominees.—Andy Hermann, Metromix

Just today I started to get interested in this field and I've started with Getting Real. I kept seeing answers here that recommend it and it also seems trustworthy.
However, one thing I don't get is this:
We'll cover the concept of less throughout this book, but for starters, less means:
- Less features
- Less options/preferences
- Less people and less corporate structure
- Less meetings and abstractions
- Less promises
I understand most of these, but "less features"? why?
Later in the book they mention Writeboard. I Googled it to see what we're talking about, but to be honest I was kind of disappointed. I assumed it was something like an online OneNote or something..
It's just a place to put text in online.
It is useful IMO, don't get me wrong, but if it had more features wouldn't it shine much brighter? Maybe if you could also draw and not only type text, maybe you could drag & drop images, or attach files, and so much more.
Why shouldn't my application thrive with features to make the user experience as best as I can make it?
By the way, that doesn't have to mean that my software would be even a tiny bit more complex or intimidating.
Also, why less options/preferences? people want to be able to customize their programs. Think of a world where you can barely do that.. isn't it just awful by comparison?

On Windows 2008 servers with Exchange 2007/2010 installed, there are times when you may run out of virtual memory for various reasons. One could be a memory leak in some application or simply not configuring the paging file correctly.
Once you run out of virtual memory on any given server, various applications may start failing/crashing on the server due to the inability to obtain memory to complete a specific function that is being called. In some cases, this could lead to a possible blue screen of death (BSOD).
For server based systems, the new Reliability Infrastructure helps automatically diagnose various operating system components. Of that infrastructure, Resource Exhaustion Detection and Resolution (RADAR) helps notify you when you are resources are reaching critical levels. RADAR is part of the Diagnostic Policy service that is installed on each server.
When RADAR detects that memory has reached a critical state, a 2004 event will be logged to the system log. An example of one of these events is shown below. As you can see, it has various information that provides overall memory consumption for various system resources, the top processes for memory consumption, file version information and paged/nonpaged pool memory that includes the top tags that could attribute to the memory problem. The bolded parts are the area of interest.
Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Resource-Exhaustion-Detector Event ID: 2004 Task Category: Resource Exhaustion Diagnosis Events Level: Warning Keywords: Events related to exhaustion of system commit limit (virtual memory). User: SYSTEM Description: Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition.

This helps you determine what resource was the possible offender without having to install any additional tools on the server to troubleshoot this. The best part is that you don't have to wait for an additional event to occur as the information has already been collected and logged.
There is another place where events are logged which is under the Windows Resource Exhaustion Detector (Resource-Exhaustion-Detector) under Applications and Services Logs in the Event Viewer as shown below.
These events show much less information than the system event, but do show your commit limits and charges to the system too. Sample below.

A couple of potential events that can be seen when memory resources are low are shown below.
Depending on the component used to instantiate a specific function will determine what component will log the event in the system log. Finding root cause for memory issues has become significantly easier with this new Reliability Infrastructure and I hope this blog helps show you some of the methods for troubleshooting these type issues.
Until next time!!!
Previously I had wrote a set of steps for fixing/repairing broken Exchange 2007 counters at http://blogs.technet.com/b/mikelag/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-fix-repair-broken-exchange-2007-counters.aspx. These set of steps have been replaced with an easier way of loading the counters using Powershell for Exchange 2010. This new method applies mainly for managed code services in Exchange 2010 as some of the previous lodctr/unlodctr commands still work for services such as MSExchangeIS and ESE.
In this example, I am going to use the same ESE missing counters as an example.
The important values that we are interested are the following. These values must exist prior to loading the ESE performance counters.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ESE\Performance] "Close"="ClosePerformanceData" "Collect"="CollectPerformanceData" "Library"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft\\Exchange Server\\V14\bin\\perf\\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\\eseperf.dll" "Open"="OpenPerformanceData" "PerfIniFile"="eseperf.ini"
Here is a screenshot of what it will look like:
Again, verify if the name Disable Performance Counters is set in the registry and if so, is the value set to a value other than 0? If this is set to a value of 4, those counters had a problem at one point and were disabled. If this is set to 4, then change it to 0 and then reopen Performance Monitor to see if the counters can be seen now. If that works, life is good and you can either stop reading here or continue on to reloading the counters if they are still not available.
If the values First Counter, First Help, Last Counter and Last Help are listed, then it is recommended to unload the performance counters first before attempting to reload them again.
To unload performance counters for ESE, perform the following steps:
To reload performance counters for ESE, perform the following steps
This will reload the appropriate performance counters for ESE. Once that is done, check the application event log to ensure that they were loaded OK and no Perflib errors exist. Open Performance monitor again to see if the counters are available.
If you are looking to reload any of the Exchange counters, you can substitute the appropriate XML in the command with any of the available XMLs from the \Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Setup\Perf directory.
Here is a screenshot of some of the available performance counters
I hope this helps in your performance counter monitoring in Exchange 2010.
