Book Release Party @ RUMOR Boutique Hotel
On January 18th, Las Vegas Weekly and VEGAS Magazine will team up to throw me what is sure to be the swankest book release party in the history of the written word.
The event will take place at the chic, new RUMOR Boutique hotel. I visited RUMOR on opening night, and I've been back several times since. Where else in Vegas am I going to find hammocks, sticky chandeliers, and complimentary purple M&Ms?
I've yet to have a dull night at RUMOR, and I couldn't be more excited that they'll be hosting my book release party. The event will take place from 6-8 PM. So if you're in Vegas on January 18th, do stop by.

BEST ALL AROUND – the chicken w/ achiote is delicious and leaves your taste buds begging for more!! the cilantro spread and butter garlic mayo spread are hands down mouth watering!!!!
Cool place but overpriced mediocre food – I have been wanting to check out Liberty bar since I moved here six weeks ago. I ordered a salad and my fiance ordered a tenderloin dish. My salad was 14.00 and was the size of a small dinner plate. I was shocked. The chicken was low quality meat, fatty and chewy. I ordered a side of chicken, which the server had an attitude problem with. I took a bite in the chicken and it went crunch in my mouth. The breast was all fat and gristle. I sent it back telling the waiter I could not eat it. When we got the bill he charged me for it! I asked him to remove the charge and he said "ill see what I can do but I cant promise anything." That made me furious. He never once said he was sorry for my meal. He acted like a snob. Its a cool place but it is no Ruth Chris. I am not sure where the attitude came in. I will NEVER go back here again.
Very disappointed with food and service – This place use to be GREAT. I have been here twice in the last month and it has gone from bad to worse. Even the bread was not as good as usual. Service was very slow and server seemed very inexperienced. I just read in newspaper owner was planning to open a new restaurant closer to downtown but seems they have their homework to do on this home front. Very snobby and unpleasant atmosphere. Drinks were enjoyable though along with the company of good friends I met for the evening. We always enjoy the slanted floors. I'll give it one more chance but probably not for at least another month and hope it's much better.
Amazing Food! – Liberty Bar is an amazing restaurant with amazing food. I go to Liberty Bar at least once a week because of how wonderful it is. The waiters are down to earth and very friendly. I know they love the place as much as I do because if they aren't there waiting they are eating! I've tried almost everything on the menu and the Roasted Leg of Lamb sandwich is my favorite. The Zucchini sandwich with the Eggplant Puree is also wonderful. They also have daily lunch specials and if your lucky enough to go on a day they have their famous Meat Loaf you will not be disappointed. I also go for brunch often because of the incredible omelets. You can choose to have fillings from green peppers and cream cheese to roasted lamb and asparagus. Be sure to get a mimosa with you brunch, they use fresh squeezed orange juice and top of the line champagne. You have to save room for desert. The bread pudding is indescribably delicious. I lived in New Orleans for five years and I actually have to say that Liberty Bar's bread pudding is one of the best I've tried. Also the lime chess pie is delectable especially if you love key lime pie. This restaurant is for foodies and people who appreciate flavor and originality.
What in the world is the hype about? Its not there. – It was just OK. I went after much hype from co-workers and friends and it was just ok. The seating was prompt though. We sat down ordered drinks, they finally came and it took 20 minutes for the waiter to come back to take our order.
We ordered appetizers, the cheese plate and the Mission figs. They sounded wonderful on the menu. The mission figs were great but the cheese plate??? i could have done better at home with presentation. It was dinky cheese sticks with dried cranberries. The almonds that came with it were the only good thing. It was disappointing.
Another 20 minutes passes when we have to CALL the waiter to take our dinner order. I had the Strip Steak. Maybe its not a steak place because it was really stringy. The Spinach side dish that came with is was GREAT. The steak was not.
I really didnt mind that the waiter took forever to ask us for our order...but at least refill our water glasses. We had to call the waiter a couple of times to get our glasses refilled. The service was just not well that night. The bread everyone raves about is average. I hate to say that better bread is served at chain resturants.
Dessert time: We all order our desserts. Everyone receives their dessert but me. I figure that the waiter's helper is going back to retrieve it since she was carrying 2 desserts the first time. No. 5 minutes later nothing. We had to CALL the waiter AGAIN to tell him that the girl didnt bring my dessert. He brought it right out and it was cold. I had the bread pudding. It was dry and cold. Another dissapointment. Some friends had the apple pie and the mexican chocolate ice cream which they said was good.
All in all, its just an ok place with below average service and overpriced food. I really wanted to like this cool establishment. But even the ambience the place oozes is not worth it.
Wow – EVERYTHING WAS DELISH!!! Great place for brunch on Sundays. Sandwiches are to die for. I do plan on going back.
Highly Recommend ***** – WOW!! What a fantastic building. I enjoyed every minute of our visit. The garlic pork chops were absolutely devine and topped off with the bread pudding absolutely perfecto--oh did I mention the homemade bread.
A good tip is come extremely hungry so you may fully enjoy. We just moved to S.A. town but heard about this establishment in Phoenix as a real must do. We have definitely put it on our favorite restaurants list. The building is absolutely phenomenal almost like a fun house. We took plenty of pictures. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.
Have to do it at least once! – I am new to the San Antonio area, heck to Texas, but I am always interested in trying out things at least once. That is my opinion to anyone reading these reviews. You can not pass up an opportunity to dine in a very interesting building something with history something that?s ?Outside the Box?. I visited Liberty Bar with my Husband and two friends on an Sunday afternoon. We arrived just before the early dinner crowd. We started off with the Calamari Appetizer (good portion for four) I had the Hibiscus tea which I do recommend if you like ginger. The Meals at our table varied I had the Lamb Rolls; they were a little overcooked but still delicious. My husband had the Cordorniz special which he claimed was very tasty and tender, apparently also finger licking good, and the third plate was a Alfredo pasta with crawfish cream sauce everything was delicious, served at the right temperature, and with a smile. I would honestly recommend you try it at least once. The building does throw off your sense of balance, but it really is part of the whole experience.
Great Food and Great Building – After reading some of these reviews I had to sit down and write something positive--sometimes I think people love to complain in general and to the person who made a comment about the waiter not speaking good English--wake up it's San Antonio--take a good look around you. I too have been eating at this establishment for many years as all of my family has too and we have had nothing but wonderful service and delicious food and as for the building well that is the main attraction that keeps us coming back--what an absolute great conversation piece. The home made bread, bread pudding and garlic pork chops are some of our favorites. We have also enjoyed many a dailey special. Thanks LB for giving us so much enjoyment and keep the good food coming. We always bring out of town guests over for a bite and they always leave with good memories.
No longer recommended – We first ate at this restaurant about five years ago and loved it. Since then, we have been back several times and it seems as if the food and the service have been progressively worse. Today was the worst ever and I doubt we will be returning. The food was barely passable - my chick pea salad tasted like a can of chick peas had been dumped straight out of the can, my husband's lamb burger was tasteless, and the potato salad that came with my daughter's sandwich was dry enough to choke on.
To add insult to injury, the waiter barely spoke English, was unable to provide us with any suggestions or recommendations, did not return to the table even once after he had served our meal, and honestly did not look very clean.
This is no longer a restaurant we would recommend to anyone looking for tasty food and/or good service.

L +00:04:42 (04:18:45 CEST)Second stage separation.
L +00:15:25 (04:29:28 CEST)Separation of the satellite from the upper, third stage of the launch vehicle. One and a half seconds earlier, the umbilical connecting the satellite to the launcher was disconnected by the firing of its pyrotechnic fasteners and the TanDEM-X onboard computer started up.
MET +00:00:00 (04:29:28 CEST)With the separation, the mission officially begins. We relate events that occur from now on to this time and speak of the 'Mission Elapsed Time', or MET. The liberating message from Baikonur confirming the successful separation arrives and calms us somewhat, but only after the first radio contact with the satellite will we really be able to breathe again.
MET +00:15:52 (04:45:20 CEST)'The baby cries!'We have first contact via the Troll ground station in Antarctica.In the control room, spontaneous applause breaks out the tension falls away from us – the first major hurdle has been cleared. The spacecraft is in range of Troll for nine minutes and we can read on our monitors with great joy that the baby is 'healthy'. All data are in the 'green' area. That is, temperatures, voltages, rotation rates and many other items of status information are within the allowable tolerances. As with Troll, contact data from the O'Higgins ground station, also in the Antarctic, will be received – and a further indication that the separation was successful and the satellite is in its intended orbit will be provided.
MET +01:10:15 (05:39:43 CEST)After the last contact, we have had to wait about 40 minutes for further messages from TanDEM-X, because, from the Antarctic, the satellite had to cross the Pacific Ocean travelling north until the visibility area for the Svalbard (Spitsbergen) ground station was reached. This contact confirms the previous good news and colleagues in the control room have relaxed smiles ...

6650 Golf Course Dr, Burlingame, CA | Directions 9401037.546569 -122.373576
Daily: 6:30 am - 8 pm
New Crystal Springs worth the drive – I was absolutely blown away at how GREAT Crystal Springs looks after the new improvements. New carts paths, level tee boxes, new terrain features and bunkers all add to a great experience... and they honored my SF Resident golf card for a discount!! The price is still a little steep ($58 walking on Sat) but course conditions were real good the day I played and I finished in just over 4 hours. Only downside was my hot dog at the turn was cold, no big deal. If you haven't been to Crystal in awhile give it a shot, it was also nice seeing the sunshine after many rounds at Harding & Lincoln in the cold fog.
At Your Own Risk – This seems to be the motto at this golf course. While checking in at the pro shop, it would have been nice if we were advised of the poor, and I mean poor, conditions of the course. It was outrageous. Apparenlty this course has no drainage system. The fairways were unbelievable. The greens and tee boxes were just as bad. While in the fairways, I felt as if I were in quicksand.. a big muddy mess. For the price to place, it would nice if they warned you of the lousy conditions...
Not worth it – Poor fairways and okay greens, reminded me of a wet day at Harding Park. Anytime you see dirt visible through the fairway grass, it's not a good thing. Overpriced.

Spreading the word about the growing presence of progressive Alaskans and their powerful ideas on the web
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Kos's Alaska Race Polls
Stevens (R) 43 (41)
Begich (D) 48 (47)
Young (R) 40 (42)
Berkowitz (D) 50 (49)
This is the first poll commissioned by Kos in a hypothetical Stevens-Begich matchup, the second in his similar Young-Berkowitz comparison. I was critical at Progressive Alaska and at DailyKos toward aspects of his first poll's announcement, and the same holds true for this one.
First of all, both polls are good news. Very good news. They show a growing resonance among voters that a big change is needed. More voters are willing to make a commitment in Moulitsas' United 2000 polls here than in any I've seen. For instance, a month and a half ago, Jake Metcalfe commissioned a far more knowledgeable Alaska pollster, Hays Research Group, on a matchup between Jake and Don:
Diane Benson's late 2007 Craciun Group Poll showed the following:
Diane Benson 45.3%
Don Young 36.7%
The most interesting thing that Markos' poll seems to indicate is that 3% more voters will commit to Don Young against him than against Benson or Jake Metcalfe.
Go figure.
The problem I have with the way Moultisas has been spinning this hypothetical scenario out is that it is just that - hypothetical. Way too hypothetical. Most of the voters here on August 26 will be independents. They have to choose which of two tickets is more important for them to punch. Moulitsas' pollster - and most others - haven't put that into their equations so far.
And, he's not being honest with his minions at DailyKos. In all of his posts on the AK-AL US House race, he's neglected to mention that Berkowitz is engaged in a tightening primary contest with the woman who had the balls to challenge Don Young in 2006, when both Jake Metcalfe and Ethan Berkowitz treated her more like a squaw than the dynamic and resilient new political talent she is proving to be.
Not only hasn't Kos mentioned Benson in any of his posts on this race, he's done something I find highly unethical, even for a foulmouthed lefty blogger, like he and me. He has not only contributed directly to Ethan's campaign (he gave $1,000 in the first 2008 quarter), he's hosted and participated in San Francisco Bay- area Berkowitz fundraisers. But, more importantly, as one watches how his posts on this hypothetical Berkowitz-Young matchup get played out in the blogosphere, others contribute to Berkowitz from outside Alaska, believing he's in a race with Young, who people outside tend to think is worthless.
Not only is his distorted, but powerfully broadcast narrative phony, it isn't very progressive. Until today, I thought that maybe Markos was too busy with other races and issues to notice Benson, or her detailed stance on the issues, but I've been told that this is definitely not the case.
On the one hand, there's Berkowitz, blithely (according to Ethan) accepting the largest donations ever given by the most powerful DINO in congress, Rahm Emanuel, to a non-incumbent Democrat, running against another Democrat in a primary. On the other, you have Diane Benson, gaining endorsements from around the state and nation from women's groups, and from very progressive organizations.
At any rate, these polls, like all the others showing our Democrats kicking ass up here, are another reason to be optimistic. And to work hard to get people to vote for Democrats.
the author of this article volunteered for and donated to the 1978 and 1980 campaigns of Rep. Don Young (he was then a Republican), volunteered for and donated to the Alaska Democratic Party when Jake Metcalfe was chairman, has volunteered for and donated to Diane Benson since July, 2006; and has donated to the current Jake Metcalfe and Ethan Berkowitz campaigns.

"like a sqwaw", huh? Man, you just play the race/gender card at every turn, don't you. I wonder what Benson thinks about your blog.

This post disappoints me, I really thought you were smarter. And yeah, you should probably look up the history of the word squaw as it's only negative in it's intent by the user - that would be you. It's origins are not negative. If you were posting on Betty Davis, would you dare say she was being treated as a nigger?
- May 16, 2008 at 9:52 AM

somebody ought to break it to kos gingerly, that he should warm up to a scenario where benson is the nominee, because that very well may happen.
- May 16, 2008 at 10:28 AM
- Philip Munger said...
Diane Benson and I both understand use of the term "squaw" to be derisive.
But that is exactly how Moulitsas is treating her - not even giving her a name. Just like Don Young, who avoided naming her in 2006. Just like the Democratic Party, that treated her like that in the 2006 campaign.
- May 16, 2008 at 11:51 AM

From this, one can reasonably infer that Diane is aware of, and approves of, your use of the word "squaw" to describe how she was putatively treated by her rival(s) for the nomination. With one phrase, you brand both Metcalfe and Berkowitz as being racist misogynists.
If Diane's whole campaign is going to be about her victimization, I've got better things to do. On the other hand, if it is to be about substance, perhaps she can explain how her total lack of experience in any publicly elected deliberative body qualifies her to go from the stage (if that is what she really does for a living; no one has seen her income taxes) to the U.S. Congress.

Do any of the polls show how Ethan or Diane stack up against Parnell?
Just courious
- May 16, 2008 at 2:15 PM
- clark said...
i do agree that the lack of legislative experience may give her an unfair advantage in the current climate.
- May 16, 2008 at 2:41 PM
- Linda Scates said...
You got that right, Clark. I'm sick of professional politicians myself. The House of Representatives is supposed to be "the people's house," after all.
- May 16, 2008 at 2:54 PM
- Philip Munger said...
I stand by the "squaw" reference, in terms of Jake, the party in 2006, and Moulitsas. As I research the media's 2001-2002 treatment of the "Indian Girls" affair - I'm about 60 hours into my research - I feel more and more that Diane was treated similarly to the derisive term at that time in regard to her family's, house's, clan's and tribe's dignity.
As regards Ethan, I'm not prepared to deal at this time with how he relates to women in general, but he has enabled Kos's leveraging of the false meme that leaves Diane out of the electoral equation. As if she doesn't exist or is somehow, a politically inferior being for some reason or another.
- May 16, 2008 at 3:08 PM
- CelticDiva said...
Is it really not obvious to people that ignoring/treating Diane like she's invisible is the same treatment women...especially Native women have been subjected to for centuries?
Kos has painted a "fantasy race" between Berkowitz and Young when we ALL KNOW ("ALL" includes the Repubs) that Young won't be the candidate. Either that means that Kos is politically uninformed (wait while I stop laughing) or that he has an agenda by portraying it that way.
- May 16, 2008 at 5:32 PM
- Linda Scates said...
I read your thread on Kos, Phil. Wow, you really did stir them up, didn't you? Ha! I do think you got your point across, though, and it was a point well taken. It was nice to see you this evening at the forum. Keep up the good work.
- May 16, 2008 at 7:58 PM
- Anonymous said...
Of course he "...really did stir them up..." - calumny and slander work every time. Munger has revealed himself to be just as intellectually dishonest and offensive as Dan Fagan. Meanwhile, I remain curious as to whether the supposed beneficiary of Munger's rhetorical excesses (Ms. Benson) is on board with it, or if she intends to actually campaign for Congress on her beliefs and her record.
- May 17, 2008 at 6:51 AM

anon @#12,
Would you care to expand on that? And are you courageous enough to come out from behind your phony anonymity?
Where was the "calumny and slander"?
What bullshit...

Bullshit, indeed. "Anonymous" is an appelaton that happens to be one of the choices you offer to those who respond on your blog site; if you don't like it, change it.
I'm not sure, but I assume that the calumny that "Anonymous" was referring to was your hardly-veiled charge (the one you "stand by") that Metcalfe (and probably Berkowitz) are racist and sexist.
That is grossly offensive because (among other things) it's a squalid lie.
Why can't we all just get along and work to get Stevens and Young retired instead of spreading vicious and slimy slander against your candidate's ertwhile opponent? You're making it very hard to contemplate supporting Ms. Benson under any circumstances.

By publishing links to Kos's intentionally misleading December and May posts on the United 2000 polls at his campaign web site, and using the mythical narrative contained in Moulitsas's essays to help raise campaign funds, Berkowitz has become an abettor of Kos's treatment of Benson - ie. ignoring her or treating her as if she dosn't exist - in a derisive way, while undertanding that she is a Native American female.
Metcalfe's neglect of her 2006 campaign was similar. If I had a quarter for every time I've heard Jake, or heard of Jake saying, "I like Diane, but..." in that certain dismissive way, I could fill my pickup truck's tank at least once.
In usage of the term "squaw"I have observed over my life, my use of the word in the context "treated her more like a squaw than..." is not inapproprate.
For commenters to claim that on this issue I'm accusing them of racist misogyny or that we're tearing the Party apart, is absurd.
For you DENSA members out there, I'll reiterate: The fact is, Berkowitz is enabling Kos to publish and spread a myth that Diane Benson is not worthy of mention in the 2008 campaign and misleding people to believe she isn't even in it. Berkowitz then uses the myth to raise money. She IS a Native American female.
My authority for usage, in part, is based on the opininon of noted linguist Ives Goddard, as published in the April 1997 issue of the Journal, News From Indian Country:
Since the word squaw continues to be of interest and concern, and since my views have been
misstated by one of your correspondents, I'd like to make available to your readers a few relevant
facts about it.
First let me say that I have never "disputed the fact that the term is offensive'' (as claimed by
Muriel Charwood-Litzau in your mid December 1996 issue, citing a misleading Associated Press
story). I have always tried to emphasize that squaw is now generally considered disparaging, as
current dictionaries rightly indicate. Everyone would regard its use to refer to a Native American
woman as demeaning (or colossally ignorant), though it should be noted that terms like squaw
bread and squaw dance are still pretty widely used in Indian Country.
In its historical origin, however, the word squaw is perfectly innocent, as current dictionaries
also correctly indicate: squaw comes from a language of the Algonquian family in which it
meant "woman.'' The facts are as follows:
Many languages of the Algonquian family have related words for "woman'' that can be
reconstructed back to the Proto-Algonquian parent language as *ethkweewa by using the
techniques of comparative linguistics. (In writing words phonetically I'll omit accents and write
double vowels for long vowels, as in current Ojibwe spelling; the * means the word is
unattested.) Some of the words that are descended from this are Cree iskweew, Ojibwe ikwe
(pronounced ikkwee, with ee about like the a of English bad), Meskwaki ihkweewa, Oklahoma
Delaware xkwee (x like German ch or Spanish jota), Canadian Delaware oxkweew, and the word
in the extinct Massachusett language of eastern Massachusetts that is spelled squa and ussqua.
(Note: The language name Massachusett has no final -s). These are all the ordinary words for
"woman'' in these languages, except for Massachusett squa, which has become specialized to
"female, younger woman.'' [Even Cheyenne he'e (pronounced with mid-level tone) and Arapaho
hisei, the words for 'woman', go back to the same source; in these languages original *kw is
regularly lost, and the medial consonant cluster shows up as a glottal stop (written with an
apostrophe) in Cheyenne and as an s in Arapaho.]
Massachusett squa appears in the Massachusett Bible (printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in
1663) in Mark 10:6, translating "female,'' and in the plural form squaog in 1 Timothy 5:2 and
5:14, translating "younger women.'' It is found in the writings of Massachusett Indians,
including a will written in the Massachusett language by a native preacher from Martha's
Vineyard who uses it to refer to his unmarried daughters. Massachusett squa was an ancient and
thoroughly decent word.

Hmm. Benson's silence on this debate is deafening. If she wants to salvage the credibility of her campaign, she needs to quickly issue a press release saying that she disavows and repudiates comments by her blogger-in-chief to the effect that Metcalfe and/or Berkowitz are racists and sexists; misogynists; further, she needs to make it clear that she has asked Mr. Munger to step away from her campaign. Otherwise, one is left with the inescapable impression that she agrees with Mr. Munger.
Once she does that, she can turn her attention to running a campaign in which she is treated seriously because she is a serious candidate.

Presumably, the "debate" between you and "Anonymous" posters that assert that you have scurrilously called both Metcalfe and Berkowitz racist misogynists. If you think that the only reason Benson's candidacy has not been taken seriously is because she is a Native American female (which is the clear implication of your prattle), then it is up to Ms. Benson to disavow your comments and to run a campaign that can be evaluated on the merits of her experience, commitments, and positions. Otherwise, we are left with the impression that her entire candidacy is premised on some deluded sense of entitlement. The people of Alaska, and thinking progressives, deserve better.

1. This site does not seek approval for any of its content from any candidate
2. Diane Benson has not been characterized here or elsewhere as having anything closely resembling "a deluded sense of entitlement." It is a multi-dimensional, serious campaign.
3. What Berkowitz and Moulitsas have done by raising money through projection of a false image of the campaign is wrong.
4. You continue to misread my use of a word that has more than one definition, as having a definition you have chosen, even after that has been carefully clarified. Your projection is getting tedious.
5. Bugger off...

1. Good for you; because you don't seek approval, all one can conclude from your blather is that Diane should choose her friends more carefully. Of course, that disclaimer doesn't explain the comment you posted earlier ("Diane Benson and I both understand use of the term "squaw" to be derisive"), which clearly suggests that you consulted with her before you used it.
2. You have your opinion, and Anonymous has hers; if all one knew about the Benson campaign was what you have been writing about it, it is surely understandable to conclude that her campaign is about her sense of entitlement (premised solely on victimhood).
3. Berkowitz is a candidate who wants to win. It is understandable that his campaign will downplay his opponent's viability. So once again: If Benson wants to be taken seriously, she should run a serious campaign.
4. You continue to defend your use of a word that is regarded (by you, as well as in the "clarification") as being pejorative toward Native American women. And you repeatedly brand Berkowitz (and, earlier, Metcalfe) as people who don't take Benson's candidacy seriously and so treat her like a squaw. And you do not deny that the implication of your comments is that Berkowitz (and Metcalfe) are racist misogynists because the "treated her more like a squaw..."
5. Probably the most revealing comment in this entire thread. It sounds as if you're still working for Don Young.

anon 2 #21 - you're understating the basic dishonesty of what Moulitsas and Berkowitz have done by the combination of Moulitas's fake meme on the basic structure of the race, and Berkowitz's linking to that false meme at his web site, where his campaign raises money.
That isn't about, as you say "winning." It is about reverting to an unethical level one might think to be more akin to Don Young's standards, than to those of a person who goes around at most campaign stops declaring how he "objected" to dishonesty and corruption while in the AK House.

Phil -- I'm unable to see the logic in your argument about the Kos poll. I've looked at the campaign website of each candidate for Congress (Rs and Ds) and none of them mention other candidates at their website. Why would any of the candidates mention his or her opponent(s) on their website? I understand how passionately you believe in Diane, but I'd have to say that your complaints that Ethan is being unethical fall flat.

William F. Caro
William F. Caro '54, J.D. '73. Feb. 26, 2014. Born in San Jose in 1932, Caro inherited his father's devotion to SCU's fabled football history and loved to recount, play-by-play, Santa Clara's heartbreaking 7-6 loss to Stanford in the very first college game he ever attended, as an eight-year-old, on Oct. 12, 1940. Athletic loyalties notwithstandng, he did graduate work at Stanford, earning his M.B.A. in 1960 with an emphasis in marketing. His subsequent career as an advertising media director brought him to agencies in San Francisco and Los Angees and Eventually to Coakley-Heagerty in Santa Clara. He later taught advertising at San Jose State University. Caro spent his retirement years in Santa Clara, not far from where the palm and olive mingle. He occasionally enjoyed an idle hour in the university library researching the glory days of Bronco football. He is survived by his brothers, Robert, S.J. '58, M.Div '70 and Paul '62.

Ted Connolly
Theodore "Ted" William Connolly '54, former All-Pro San Francisco 49er right guard, peacefully passed in his Gardnerville, Nev., home, on Feb. 24, 2014 from acute mylocytic leukemia. He was 82.
Ted was born the youngest of five children on December 5, 1931 in Oakland, Calif. to parents William Eugene Connolly and Dora Ray Waterman. He attended Piedmont High School 1946-49 where he was All-Alameda County for 3 years in football and track, and lettered in baseball and basketball, hence was inducted into the Piedmont HS Sports Hall of Fame. He attended University of Santa Clara where he was All-Catholic All American tackle in 1951. When Santa Clara dropped football he transferred to Tulsa University, Okla., and graduated in 1953. Ted married his high school sweetheart, Mary Elizabeth Heidt, on April 19, 1954, in Tulsa, Okla., and had five children which they raised in Oakland, Calif.
Ted achieved his childhood dream and was drafted in the 9th round in 1953 by his home town team - the San Francisco 49ers. He played for the Forty Niners until 1962 - his NFL All-Pro year. After holding out from signing his 1963 49er contact and being fined $100 per day, he showed up to his contact negotiations with his lawyer, Ray Bolton – an unheard of scandalous move for a professional athlete at that time. He was blackballed by ownership and the NFL, but prevailed and was traded to the Cleveland Browns. Ted is credited as one of the first professional athletes to retain legal player representation, opening the door for future athletes. During his one year 1963 season with the Browns, Ted blocked for the legendary running back, Jim Brown, the year Brown broke the all-time 1900 yard rushing record when the NFL schedule included only 14 games. Ted played 92 games in his nine year NFL football career.
Taking time off from football career, First Lieutenant Connolly served 18 months in the Air Force Reserve at Hamilton Air Force Base in the military police and as coach of the Air Force football team, ending his active service with a huge win over Army in the Penrose Bowl in 1956. Ted was Honorable Discharged from Air Reserves as Captain on July 1, 1966.
"Not being able to support my family of 5 kids with an NFL salary", he retired from football, and shortly after became Vice President of Development for Grubb & Ellis Real Estate. In 1966 he started Connolly Development, Inc., which developed over 40 shopping centers in California and Nevada. His first shopping center, Bonanza Square in Las Vegas, Nev., is still owned and operated by his family.
Equally committed to civic and community activities, Ted's service included the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid of Department of State's Agency for International Development in Washington, D.C. ; President and Commissioner of the Port of Oakland for 12 years where he participated in completion of numerous international trade agreements and the expansion of the Oakland Airport; Airport Operations International Council; Director of the Alameda County Real Estate Board; Oakland Planning Commission; the Founder of the Oakland's Mayor Sports Committee; and a founding director of the San Antonio Youth Project.
Pursuing his passion for gourmet food and wine, in the early 70's he developed Sky Hill Farms ranch in Napa Valley producing gourmet cheeses and yogurts from Nubian goats, and organic produce for local restaurants – one of the first "farm to market" providers in California.
TC, as he was known to friends and family, will forever be remembered for his gregarious nature and love of people - best signified by his very firm, sometimes painful, handshake (taught to him by his Irish father) as he pulled you towards his smiling gray-blue eyes warmly welcoming you into his world.
Theodore William Connolly is survived by his children Mark, Cary Byers (Jerry), Matthew (Sally), Chad, and Amy Katsanos; his grandchildren Wesley, Cole, Bryce, Austin and Dimitri; their supportive mother Mary Connolly, good friend Marjorie McGee, his siblings Francis Alexander and husband Ernie (deceased), Larry and wife Barbara, Norman (deceased)and his wife Deletta, and many loving nieces and nephews. He is also preceded in death by his sister Betty Spivey and husband Bill.

UGRD Arts & Sciences '58
James Leininger
James Leininger '58 was a skillful Santa Clara County defense attorney, a crusader for social justice and a member of a family with deep roots in San Jose. But as a recovering alcoholic, he was known just as well for helping others emerge from the shoals of substance abuse -- be they lawyers, nurses, cops or Hells Angels.
Leininger, 78, of Gilroy, died March 19, 2014 of leukemia at Stanford Medical Center, where he had been undergoing an experimental treatment for his illness.
"He loved what he did, and what he did was to help people. And that's what made all the difference,'' said Jim Gleason, the executive director of the Santa Clara County Independent Defense Counsel Office.
As a lawyer, Leininger enjoyed taking the toughest cases, ones other lawyers shunned. In the 2010 trial of the men accused in the killing of Los Gatos restaurateur Mark Achilli, Leininger represented middleman Miguel Chaidez, who was accused of paying the triggerman.
"He was confident, but he wasn't arrogant,'' said his son, Michael Leininger. "He would dissect a jury and find the most appealing way to get to them.''
Leininger was a member of "The Other Bar,'' a confidential lawyers' recovery group. And he helped found the organization now known as We Care, which has helped more than 3,000 nurses with substance abuse problems.
For much of his 45-year career as an attorney, Leininger had to balance work with the demands of caring for his wife, Helen, who suffered from chronic illness. The two had met at the Sears store on San Carlos Street in San Jose, where both worked as clerks. Helen Leininger died in 2009.
Leininger was born at O'Connor Hospital in San Jose on January 23, 1936, the son of Carl Leininger, who became San Jose's city engineer, and Mary Leininger, a homemaker. The third of seven children, Leininger came from a family devoted to public service and social justice. A brother, William, was a Catholic priest. Another brother, Robert, became a ranking official in San Jose's redevelopment agency.
A 1958 graduate of Santa Clara University, Leininger worked in War on Poverty programs in the mid-'60s, graduated from Lincoln Law School and served as executive director of the Catholic Council on Social Justice.
In that job, he shamed the San Jose City Council into rejecting a bid from the Elks Club, which at the time discriminated against nonwhites, to sponsor a circus at the Civic Auditorium. Leininger pointed out to a wavering Councilman Norm Mineta, later a mayor and congressman, that he would not be able to join the Elks because of his Japanese descent.
Leininger is survived by his son, Michael, Gilroy; two daughters, Kelly Douglas, Los Gatos; and Trish Loughnane, Woodland Hills, and seven grandchildren.

Downtown Fargo businesses prepare for GameDayFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - It could be the biggest event Downtown Fargo has ever seen. Thousands are expected to show up for ESPN's College Game Day broadcast on Saturday.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - It could be the biggest event Downtown Fargo has ever seen.
Thousands are expected to show up for ESPN's College Game Day broadcast on Saturday.
Since learning the big news on Monday, businesses have been clamoring to plan specials and early openings to bring in all those people.
ESPN's College Day will bring hordes of fans to downtown Fargo Saturday morning, and nearby businesses are not going to let the opportunity pass them by.
Jared Puttbrese, Spicy Pie: "We know it's going to bring lots of people around. Everybody downtown is really excited. We want to be a part of that."
Jared Puttbrese at Spicy Pie says they are opening earlier than ever.
They will start serving pizza, hot dogs, and beer at 8 a.m. - three hours before their normal opening time.
Puttbrese: "We'll be bringing TVs outside on the patio so people can watch the game and the broadcast as well."
Down the street, the Old Broadway Sports Zone joins the list of restaurants and bars opening at 8 a.m.
In addition to food specials, they're giving away College GameDay t-shirts to the first 200 early birds through the door.
Nate Johnston, Old Broadway: "It's a huge deal for NDSU; of course it's good for Fargo. Being that the location is downtown as well, it's going to be great for all the businesses in the downtown area."
The show broadcast starts at 8 a.m., but some fans will be showing up much earlier. Subway is trying to pull them in by opening perhaps the earliest, at 5:30a.m.
Businesses downtown had just days to figure out how to take advantage of all the activity after the location was announced on Monday.
Johnston: "Our management team has been scrambling the past couple days to make sure to get staffed up and try to put some promotions together."
Puttbrese: "It's been quite hectic, we've been all smashing our heads together to put the puzzle pieces together but we've all come to an agreement on everything we've got everything worked out, it's all coming together and we hope to put the plan in action come Saturday."

This is an IAU Regional Meeting that has been taking place by more than 30 years, and its organization has been reversing among the Latin American Countries, like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela, which have a significant active astronomical community. These meetings have promoted important interchanges of students and researchers of these countries, as well as stimulated the growth of astronomy in less scientifically developed Latin American Countries. During the Assembly of LARIM 2010, it was decided that the next meeting will take place in Brazil. We will follow the same organizational practice previously adopted: the chair of the Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC) was indicated by the Brazilian Astronomical Society, as well as the LOC. Each of the participant countries has been asked to indicate one representative for the SOC.

The Deaf Musiciansby Pete Seeger Paul Dubois Jacobs
Lee is a piano man. Every night, he plays jazz for the crowd. It sounds something like this: Plink-a-plink-BOMP-plink-plink. Yimba-timba-TANG-ZANG-ZANG. One night, Lee's bandmates notice something is off. Lee's music comes out like this: Ronk. Phip. Tonk. There's no way to hide it: Lee is losing his hearing. Then Lee discovers sign language. And soon after, he meets Max, who plays the sax. Together they form a new band-the Deaf Musicians. But who will listen to a deaf musician? With The Deaf Musicians, Pete Seeger, Paul DuBois Jacobs, and three-time Coretta Scott King Honor winner R. Gregory Christie present an inspiring story of overcoming obstacles, set to a jazzy score. OO-AH, BE-DOOP, BE-DOOP, OO-AH, YEAH!

First things first: There's only one official exit poll.
Though networks take ownership of the information — "according our CNN exit poll" yada yada — in reality they're all using the same data, supplied by Edison. In a pool-purchase arrangement, Edison feeds data to AP, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and FOX.
Edison's exit pollsters manage some 1,000 stations nationwide, where temporary employees survey nearly 100,000 voters, using written questionnaires submitted anonymously. Pollsters relay results to the firm, which submits them to the networks.
While Edison compiles data all day, it delivers no data to the networks before 5 p.m. on election night, meaning "early" exit poll results should be viewed with suspicion.
"If you see exit polling information during the day it's most probably bogus," Rosin said. "Anything before 5 p.m. I can assure you it's bogus."
Even after receiving the first wave of data from Edison, "no network will officially put out information until all polls are closed in a given state," Rosin said.
But after 5 p.m. and before the close of voting, some networks may leak info. This muddles the waters because the true leaked info is out there with bogus "leaked" info. "Just because it's after 5 p.m. doesn't mean it's not bogus," Rosin said.
And even confirmed polling numbers must be taken for what they are: estimates. Rosin warns that exit polls are not infallible indicators. "In a close election the exit polls are not definitive. The margin of error is different in each state," he said.
Often forgotten is the value of polls beyond prediction. "The amazing thing about the exit polls," Rosin said, "is the real value comes in the analysis — why did they win? We ask a lot of questions about who are you, what are your values, what drove your vote? People only seem to think about the projections, but truly the analysis is where the value is. Someone is going to win, but it's important to know why they won. ... The analysis, for weeks afterward, will be what drives the discussion."

Pizza >Vincent's Pizza Park Inc

Tue - Sat, 4pm - 10.30pm; Sun, Mon, closed
Absolutely Terrible Experience – I've been making the occasional trip to Vinnie's pizza for several years now. I thought I knew what to expect of their service, as well as their food. I was wrong... I went with my family tonight and the service was terrible. I chalked the poor service up to the fact that they were crowded, but then when our pizza arrived, 1/4 of the crust was missing. I love the crust on their pizza, and when I mentioned it to my waitress she blew us off and acted like it was normal for this to happen. At the end of the night when I noticed on by bill that they had taken the liberty of assigning 15% gratuity for my party, I approached the manager. The manager was arrogant, rude, and dismissive. I simply asked to be allowed to decide how much gratuity I wanted to give after getting poor service and poor pizza, and she would make absolutely no exceptions to the bill or my forced gratuity. She tried to tell me that it's normal to get pizza with no crust, and that I was overreacting. She made no apologies for my experience, and was unwilling to make any concessions. It was...by far...the worst dining experience of my entire life. Vincent's Pizza in Plum is a dump. Apparently they think it's ok to serve you overpriced pizzas with large portions of the crust missing, and then scoff and laugh at you when you bring it up. Avoid this dirty, overcrowded shack at all costs. To those who say "you don't go for the service, you go for the pizza", I say that when I drop over $20 bucks on a single pizza pie, I expect to be served the entire pie, crust included.
You have to understand................ – You do not go for the service.
You do not go for the view.
You do not go for the variety or choices on the menu.
You do not go if you are on a diet.
You go for the best piece of pizza you will ever eat.
Yes is has pools of grease, but that is what the the thick perfectly (yes - sometimes a little burnt) crust is for. The reason it is greasy is because they put tons of cheese and toppings. In fact they pile it so high if you order more that one topping you rarely see the cheese underneath until you bite into it.
As for the price, we order a small pepporoni and it feeds all four of us. The peices are big and I can never eat more than one. If you weighed a small peporroni from Vincents I bet it weighs more than two large pizza's anywhere else.
If you are looking for a " dining experience " this is probably not for you. If you are looking for some great pizza, some pizza that is famous for what it is, and that is one of the best pizza's in Pittsburgh than that is why you go.
The best – Best pizza in pittsburgh by far
Worst place ever – This was the worst experience of my life!
The menu was a spreadsheet print out that was confusing, there are no price listings for drinks.
Out of 3 pizza's and 5 soda's (maybe one water), the total price came to $89.50
I am sorry, but I can host a 3 pizza and 15 drinks at Chuck E. Cheese and 500+ tokens for that price tag.
I will never be going there again as the personality of the waitresses was lacking.
And, they did not explain in big enough signs on doors or anywhere that they accept cash only. I understand the concern for not wanting to deal with cards or checks, I do. But, I would not recommend this location to any one, not even in a time of good economic times.
I do hope that anyone that reads this will accept the fact that they can save money and heartache by going elsewhere.
You must work there. – We had reservation sfor 7pm. We were seated at 740pm. We obviously had time to look at the menu while we waited so we placed our order as soon as we were finally seated. At 910pm we were still waiting for the pizza.
Never again. They serve takeout orders first, those seated and waiting last.
VINCENT RULES IN PLUM – I dont care what people say negative about Vincents Plum the pizza the best the staff is wonderful never had a bad service or food!!! Greasy pizza is what its all about if you dont like that dont go !!!!!!!!!!!! THE COOK RULES AT VINNIES IN PLUM!!!!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT
Don't Come Hungry – 1. They dont take Credit/Debit Cards
2. You will wait about 30 minutes to be seated.
3. Once you get to your table, you have about another 30 minutes until you even get a SALAD
4. Pizza finally comes out and it has large puddles of grease seeping into every inch of the dough.
5. Service is extremely slow, only 1 waitress for an ENTIRE dining room.
6. Portions are large and prices match.
Pizza doesn't come any better – This is pizza at its best.
Did you notice that the reviews are either 5s or 1s; there's no middle ground. You either love it or you hate it. I am squarely on the I LOVE IT!! side.
There's none of this measured-out, weighed and carefully placed look. This is not health food and makes no pretense to be. It's just good ingredients, lot of them and a great taste that's unique and immediately recognizable. I started eating Vincent's at Ardmore Blvd as a high scholl student in 1964. I always enjoyed watching the master at his craft. At Ardmore there were no pretenses, no atmosphere, and great pizza. The only change at the Plum site is the family atmosphere. Four decades later I live in South Carolina but make sure that I eat a Vinnie Pie every time I get to Pittsburgh.
You go there for great pizza; you don't go for atmosphere. You go there for great pizza; you don't go there for cheap, two-for-one pizza. You go there for great pizza; you don't go there for health food.
I raised my daughter right; any time she gets to Pittsburgh, she brings one back for her old dad.
Great pizza – Man, this is the greatest Pizza in the world. I just have to stop off for a Vinnie Pie every time I'm in Pittsburgh.

Hi can you help with this tree/hedge which is situated in Co Durham on the edge of a stream next to arable land.
The photos were taken during the backend of last year. I originally thought they were blackthorn because of their large thorns and the hedge seemed to have suckered.
I thought I would wait until spring to see if there would be blossom before the leaves came out, typical of blackthorn. However the leaves are out but no blossom, so any ideas please.
It looks like it is in the myrobalan-sloe-bullace-damson spectrum ( = P. cerasifera - P. spinosa - P. domestica var. insititia - P. domestica var. insititia).
There is a lot of confusion and misinformation about these.
It would be wise to wait for fruit and/or blossom before trying to make a firm identification, IMO.
Longish discussion that exemplifies some of the vagueness - http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/wildflowers-plants-and-tree-forums/6759-like-know-more-about-bullace-what.html
Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes a difficult one and I will wait for blossom or fruit to arrive. Am I right in thinking that all the species that you have mentioned have spikes similar to blackthorn?
What ever it turns out to be it would have made an excellent stock proof barrier in the past.
Bullace is less spiny than sloe
- http://www.brickfieldspark.org/data/plumbullace.htm
(That also confuses things by giving the name 'green damson' as one of the alternatives for bullace).
That also leads us into the realm of variation, which is why I referred to a 'spectrum'.
It explains that there are three common forms of Bullace: White, Essex and Royal.
Also, the species can hybridize, complicating matters further.
Damsons come in several cultivars
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damson
That also gives useful guidance:
'Bullaces can usually be distinguished from damsons by their spherical shape, relatively smooth stones, and poorer flavour, and generally ripen up to a month later in the year than damsons.'
Damsons do not have spines. But damson hybrids might.
For instance, Prunus x fruticans (P. spinosa x domestica) has a few spines (according to 'Dorts' at http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/trees/92664-damson-bullace-sloe.html).
Another bit of guidance on ID, specifically re sloe
- http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/british-natural-history/urban-tree-survey/take-part/cherry-survey/identify-cherries/cherry-lookalikes/blackthorn/index.html
Myrobalan plums are usually spineless.
That also has a tips on telling myrobalan plums from sloes, such as tasting the fruit (myrobalan plum is sweet; sloe is sour).
Off topic since it does not cover the species in question here, but worth knowing: the NHM has a cherry ID key here
- http://www.nhm.ac.uk/resources-rx/files/cherry-id-key-d-64272.pdf
Keep us posted!
Good morning Mike
Unfortunately still not sure what this hedge is. During the year it has not produced any fruit and if my memory serves my right has not produced any in previous years. Other trees in the area have produced abundance this year. A bit of additional information the leaves measure 6cm x 2.5/2.8 cm with a short petiole 0.8cm and have toothed edges. The hedge has purple shoots.
I would be grateful for any further thought Kevin
Hi Clay,
Thanks for the update.
That leans us away from Prunus spinosa (which has smaller leaves).
The purpleness of the shoots could be misleading. It may lean us towards P. cerasifera var. nigra, but the degree of purple/green can be influenced by factors such as light level (eg. due to shading) and cultivar.
So we're not there yet, but perhaps a little closer.
Hi Mike
Thanks for all the additional information the plot thickens. Yes I will keep you posted as the year progresses.

Wow. This is something.
Enjoy. Or be horrified. Or both. But I think it is pretty wild. It's over four million views on YouTube in less than two days.

I couldn't get past a minute or so. Boring to the max.
I might be interested if they employed Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
terribly boring song but an amusing video
I had to think what NSFW meant.. thank goodness I figured it out before I clicked the link as I happen to be at work. I'll have to check it out when I get home
I love when the guard says "I told you she didn't have a dick." LMAO So many rumors have gone around about her and she has done nothing to silence them. I found that hilarious. I also liked how they used the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill. Not sure why but it looks like the same one to me.
I do find it interesting that she decided to go all out on a video for this song. Other than having the star power of Beyonce added to it, the song is NOT special. It is probably her least creative single to date and could have been done by any number of other artists. I wish she had saved a big budget video for a song more worthy of the time and money.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
I didn't like it. Gaga's trying too hard. Girl on girl kissing? Big Yawn. She likes to do these group dancing choreography with her in the front middle, but the choreography for those sequences often looks so antiquated. Was there even anything remotely memorable about this song? What the heck was Beyonce thinking doing this.
The two butch prison guards were, um...., interesting. Why would anyone want to be photographed like that.
Of course you just knew Gaga was going to have a lesbian makeout session in the video. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
wow, interesting video lol. surprised beyonce did it. entertaining though, and I like the song *shrug*
So it's just Kill Bill? An amusing reference that I doubt a lot of her fans will get.
The song is already a huge hit on the circuit. It's played at least 3-4 times a night at the clubs.
AFAIK the only thing that is "kill bill" in the video is the truck.
::raises hand slowly::
hi, my name is MLP and I love Lady Gaga's CDs
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Trolling dates all the way back to 397 B.C. - People began following Plato around and would make fart noises after everything he said.
I totally fecking love this video I like the song too, but the complete batshitness of the video, combined with awesome dancing, made me immediately watch it again once it had stopped.
And Beyonce looks awesome with that Bettie Page hairdo.

Comments On Apr 01, 2014:This mirror is great for getting a license plate. It's too floppy to be useful through bumpy roads or speeds over 40mph.

Comments On Nov 04, 2013:I mounted to my KTM to be "street legal" to run Dual Sports. The mirror is good for show and can fold down for riding off road (to get it out of the way). If you are expecting to use this on the street as a real mirror might want to think again- the mounting and the arm allow the mirror to vibrate and move making the object in the mirror difficult to see.

Comments On Jun 24, 2013:this mirror has tiny little screws holding it on which hardly make installation or adjustment simple. The mirror is difficult to adjust and practically useless to actually see behind you due to the flimsy plastic. If you need mirrors just to get street legal they work but don't count on actually using them.

On Thursday, September 22, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, along with Committee Chair Senator Mary Landrieu and U.S. Representatives Chaka Fattah (D-PA), Yvette Clark (D-NY) and Cedric Richmond (D-LA), will lead a Congressional Black Caucus roundtable discussion to address issues minority businesses can play in reducing the wealth gap between white households and African American and Hispanic households.
The roundtable will be held as the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) convenes its 41st Annual Legislative Conference this weekend. Jobs, has been a major focus of the Congressional Black Caucus this year as Members have organized job fairs, town hall meetings, job readiness programs, and seminars as part of their "For The People" jobs initiative resolution.
"I commend the Congressional Black Caucus for holding this roundtable discussion on minority small businesses. In Maryland, we are fortunate to have a vibrant community of minority small businesses, but they still face many challenges getting access to the capital they need to grow their businesses and hire more workers," said Cardin. "I was pleased that provisions I authored in the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 now require federal contracting officials to complete small business training before receiving certification, as well as report directly to Congress on contracting with veteran-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged small businesses. This roundtable should help us focus attention on ensuring a more level playing field for minority small businesses and expand opportunities for contracts and loans."
"Since 2009, I have convened at least four meetings to address ways that the Small Business Committee and the SBA, through its many programs, can address and provide a remedy to the issues affecting minority small businesses," Senator Mary Landrieu said. "To find solutions, we must continue to evaluate and examine the role minority owned businesses can play in creating jobs and closing the wealth gap. The roundtable will build on our previous work, formulating how Congress and minority small businesses can work together to close and eventually erase the wealth gap identified by the Pew Research Center, NAACP and other economists."
The U.S. Census Bureau and the Pew Foundation recently released information showing the net wealth of white households is 20 times that of Black households and 18 times that of Hispanic households. According to Pew that the wealth gulf between white and African American and Hispanic households is larger now than at any time in the almost 30 years the Census Bureau has been collecting such data by race.
