The formula for the herbal remedy was given to Caisse in 1922 by a hospital patient whose breast cancer had been healed by an Ontario Indian medicine man. Essiac came within just three votes of being legalized by the Canadian parliament in 1938. Over the years, many prominent physicians voiced their support for the efficacy of Caisse's medicine. For example, Dr. Charles Brusch-a founder of the prestigious Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a former physician to President John F. Kennedy-declared that "Essiac has merit in the treatment of cancer" and revealed that he cured his own cancer with it. In a notarized statement made on April 6, 1990, Dr. Brusch testified, "I endorse this therapy even today for I have in fact cured my own cancer, the original site of which was the lower bowels, through Essiac alone."
Despite such support, Rene Caisse lived under the constant threat of persecution and harassment by Canadian authorities. Today, Essiac is unapproved for marketing in the United States and Canada. However, Resperin Corporation of Ontario provides Essiac to patients in Canada under a special agreement with the Canadian Health and Welfare department, which permits "emergency releases of Essiac on compassionate grounds" while still deeming it "an ineffective cancer treatment." Another company reportedly has the authentic formula for the herbal remedy in Caisse's handwriting, plus eight of her formula variations for specific cancers, including cancer of the prostate. It recently made Essiac available through various distributors. A number of herbal distributors claim to sell the original Essiac tea. Prospective users should carefully weigh the background of all vendors and examine all claims with caution.
Rene Caisse refused to publicly divulge the precise Essiac formula during her lifetime, fearing that a monopolistic medical establishment would either try to discredit the formula or use it to reap enormous profits. Also, she wanted Essiac safe for immediate use on suffering cancer patients, but medical experts demanded prior testing on lab mice. Caisse repeatedly offered to reveal the exact formula and method of preparation if the Canadian medical authorities would first admit that Essiac had merit in the treatment of cancer. But the doctors and politicians argued that they realistically couldn't give any such endorsement until they first knew what was in the herbal mixture. The result was a stand-off.
The principal herbs in Essiac include burdock root, turkey rhubarb root (Indian rhubarb), sheep sorrel, and slippery elm bark. Burdock root, a key active ingredient, is also a major ingredient of the Hoxsey herbal remedy. As discussed in the chapter on the Hoxsey therapy, two Hungarian scientists in 1966 reported "considerable antitumor activity. in a purified fraction of burdock.1 In addition, as also discussed, Japanese scientists at Nagoya University in 1984 discovered burdock contains a new type of desmutagen, a substance uniquely capable of reducing cell mutation either in the absence or in the presence of metabolic activation. So important is this property, the Japanese researchers named it the B-factor, for "burdock factor."2 Another herb in Essiac, turkey rhubarb root, was demonstrated to have antitumor activity in the sarcoma-37 animal test system. Herbalists, however, believe that the synergistic interaction of herbal ingredients contributes to their therapeutic effects. They point out that laboratory tests on a single, isolated compound from one herbal formula fail to address this synergistic potency.
Through her work with cancer patients, Caisse observed that Essiac broke down nodular masses to a more normal tissue, while greatly alleviating pain. Many patients would report an enlarging and hardening of the tumor after a few treatments. Then the tumor would start to soften. People also frequently reported a discharge of large amounts of pus and fleshy material. Masses of diseased tissue were sloughed off in persons with breast, rectum, and internal cancers. After this process, the tumor would be gone.3
Caisse theorized that one of the herbs in Essiac reduced tumor growth while other herbs acted as blood purifiers, carrying away destroyed tissue as well as infections related to the malignancy. She also speculated that Essiac strengthened the body's innate defense mechanisms, enabling normal cells to destroy abnormal ones as Nature intended.
Even if a tumor didn't disappear, Caisse maintained, it could be forced to regress, then surgically removed after six to eight Essiac treatments, with much less risk of metastasizing and causing new outbreaks. "If there is any suspicion that any malignant cells are left after the operation," she stated, "then Essiac should be given once a week for at least three months, supplying the body with the resistance to a recurrence that is needed."
She wrote, "In the case of cancer of the breast, the primary growth will usually invade the mammary gland of the opposite breast or the auxilla, or both. If Essiac is administered either orally or by hypodermic injection, into the forearm, the secondary growth will regress into the primary mass, enlarging it for a time, but when it is all localized it will loosen and soften and can then be removed without the danger of recurrence."4 Caisse spoke from personal experience, having administered thousands of Essiac injections to gravely ill patients, always under the supervision of a physician.
In 1983, Dr. E. Bruce Hendrick, chief of neurosurgery at the University of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, urged Canada's highest health officials to launch "a scientific clinical trial" of Essiac. In a letter to the Canadian Minister of Health and Welfare, Dr. Hendrick reported that eight of ten patients with surgically treated tumors of the central nervous system, after following an Essiac regimen, had "escaped from the conventional methods of therapy including both radiation and chemotherapy."5 Yet today, patients in Canada must go through a bureaucratic maze that makes it difficult or impossible for them to receive Essiac therapy.
The story of Essiac began in 1922, when Caisse, a surgical nurse working in a Haileybury, Ontario, hospital, noticed an elderly patient with a strangely scarred, gnarled breast. When Rene asked the woman, who was nearly eighty, what had happened, the woman replied that some thirty years earlier, she had developed a growth on her breast and an Indian friend had offered to heal it with herbal medicine. This woman and her husband then went to Ontario, where doctors confirmed the diagnosis of advanced cancer and told her the breast would have to be surgically removed. Opting instead to take her chances with the Indian herbal healer, the woman returned to his mining camp and drank the brew daily. Her tumors gradually shrank, then disappeared. Over two decades later, when Caisse stumbled across her in the hospital, she was still totally cancer-free.
Caisse asked the woman for the herbal recipe. "My thought was that if I should ever develop cancer, I would use it," Caisse later wrote.
In 1924, Caisse's aunt, Mireza Potvin, was diagnosed with advanced cancer of the stomach and was told she had six months at the most to live. Remembering the Indian brew, Rene asked her aunt's physician, Dr. R. O. Fisher of Toronto, for permission to try it on her dying relative. Dr. Fisher consented, and Rene gathered the herbs to brew the tea. After drinking the herbal concoction daily for two months, Mireza Potvin rallied, got well, and went on to live another twenty-one years.
Soon Caisse and Dr. Fisher teamed to treat cancer patients who had been written off by their doctors as terminal. Many of these patients, too, showed dramatic improvement. Working nights and weekends in Toronto in her mother's basement, which Rene had converted into a laboratory, she and Dr. Fisher experimented on mice inoculated with human cancer. They modified the combination of herbs to maximize efficacy. It was at this point that Rene named the herbal treatment Essiac (her name spelled backwards).
One of Rene's first cases was a woman who had cancer of the bowel complicated by diabetes. In order to avoid further problems, the patient stopped taking insulin in 1925. Under Essiac therapy, the woman's tumor at first became larger and harder, almost obstructing her bowel. Then, as she continued her Essiac injections, the tumor softened, got smaller, and disappeared. Oddly enough, the woman's diabetes also disappeared during the course of Essiac treatment.
Dr. Frederick Banting, world-famous as the codiscoverer of insulin, reviewed this case in 1926. According to Caisse, Dr. Banting concluded that Essiac must have somehow stimulated the pancreatic gland into normal functioning, thus clearing up the diabetic condition. If this reported result is true, Essiac would appear to have potential in the treatment of diabetes.
Nine doctors petitioned the Canadian federal health department in 1926, urging that Caisse be allowed to test her cancer remedy on a broad scale. In their signed petition, they testified that Essiac reduced tumor size, prolonged life in hopeless cases, and showed "remarkably beneficial results," even where "everything else had been tried without effect."
In response, Ottawa's Department of Health and Welfare sent two investigating doctors armed with official papers to arrest Nurse Caisse or restrain her from practicing medicine without a license. When Rene explained to them that she was treating only terminal cases and accepting only voluntary contributions, the two interrogators backed off. One of them, Dr. W. C. Arnold, was so impressed by Caisse's clinical reports that he persuaded her to continue her experiments with mice at the Christie Street Hospital in Toronto. In that series of tests, mice implanted with human cancer responded to Essiac injections by living longer, their tumors regressing.
In 1935, the Town Council of Bracebridge turned over to Rene Caisse-for one dollar-per-month rent-the old British Lion Hotel for use as a cancer clinic. Over the next seven years, Caisse treated thousands of patients in this building, which had been repossessed by the village for back taxes. This unique arrangement came about after Dr. A. F. Bastedo of Bracebridge referred a terminally ill patient with bowel cancer to Caisse. Dr. Bastedo was so impressed by the patient's recovery, he persuaded the town council to make the hotel building available to Rene.
Shortly after the clinic opened, Caisse's seventy-two-year-old mother, Friselde, was diagnosed with cancer of the liver, inoperable because of her weak heart. One of Ontario's top specialists, Dr. Roscoe Graham, said she had only days to live. Rene began giving daily injections of Essiac to her mother, who had not been told she had cancer. After ten days of treatment, Friselde Caisse began to recover. She regained her full health, with diminishing doses of Essiac, and lived another eighteen years before passing away quietly from heart disease.
"This repaid me for all of my work," Rene reflected years later, "having given my mother 18 years of life which she would not have had. [It] made up for a great deal of the persecution I had endured at the hands of the medical world."6
After word of Caisse's impressive results spread to the United States, a leading diagnostician in Chicago introduced her to Dr. John Wolfer, director of the tumor clinic at Northwestern University Medical School. In 1937, Wolfer arranged for Rene to treat thirty terminal cancer patients under the direction of five doctors. Rene commuted across the border to Chicago, carrying her bottles of freshly prepared herbal brew. After supervising one and a half years of Essiac therapy, the Chicago doctors concluded that the herbal mixture prolonged life, shrank tumors, and relieved pain.

January 15 - Paul of Thebes, Hermit, Monastic, "the First Monk"
The persecution in Thebes had been intense for quite some time but with the way Decius and Valerianus were ruling the Roman Empire it was only getting worse day by day. Paul wasn't sure what to do as he and his fellow Christians began meeting in secret and contemplating their next course of action in those turbulent times. Paul and his friends found themselves in the middle of a precarious situation: their lives and their homes tied them to Thebes but Thebes was becoming an increasingly dangerous place to live for Christians. Paul found a way out of the situation, though, by abandoning all that tied him to Thebes and becoming a hermit.
He traveled to the mountains of the Theban desert and came across a cave that looked especially inviting. As a twenty-two year old man with a few possessions, this was a significant change of lifestyle but it represented a strange kind of freedom that few knew or understood. Near his cave was a palm tree and a hidden mountain spring. Surely the words of Jesus rang in his head nearly every day as he went to gather fruit and water--"Listen carefully, don't worry about what you will eat, or what you will drink, or about what you will wear. Isn't there more to life than food and clothing?Notice the birds of the air; they don't do plant or harvest or put away supplies for security and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you more valuable than birds? And what's worrying ever done for you--has it added one single solitary second to your life?" Time went on and Paul's life became more and more isolated and devoted to prayer and worship. His city clothes gave way to time and wear and eventually Paul was clothed in garments made from the leaves of the nearby tree. His life had become simple and divorced from need upon what the Empire could offer--Paul was an island in the midst of the Roman Empire that needed and accepted no ruler but God.
One day, however, a raven flew down to greet the mostly silent Paul and it carried a small loaf of bread in its mouth. Paul gave the small bird his thanks and rejoiced at the bread provided for him by God's will. He broke it joyfully and consumed it. The next day he saw the raven approaching again with bread and was joyous again. This process continued for the remainder of Paul's life. After subsisting upon what he could gather for twenty-one years he became further liberated from the needs of this world and found his needs met without his own work. His needs were met because he was more valuable than the birds of the air and because Jesus had taught his disciples not to fear--knowing that fear enslaves many to the empires of the world. Paul had nothing to lose and so he had everything to gain and nothing to fear.
Paul was very, very old when Anthony came one fateful day to visit with Paul and seek his advice, Paul welcomed him gladly into his small cave. Anthony was going into the desert to become a hermit and Paul--being the first recorded Christian hermit--was the person to talk to before setting out upon the path of material renunciation that leads to true freedom. Years later, Anthony--that much venerated monk and hermit--would refer to Paul as "the first monk." That day and that night, the two men talked and broke bread together. As Anthony was leaving he had the presence of mind to turn and thank Paul for his time and he saw a vibrant old man staring back and welcoming him to return whenever he would like. When Anthony did return a little while later, Paul had died in his cave in a peaceful and comfortable position. Anthony took it upon himself to bury the old man and commit his body back to the dust as a man finally freed from sin and corruption.

OAKLAND — The perception of many, especially those who live outside Oakland, is that violence and death lurk around every corner. Those who live here know this to be untrue, but understand that Oakland sees far too much violent crime for a city its size.
Many disputes that result in homicides are between people who know each other and have been arguing over petty issues, law enforcement officials say. For homicide investigators, the lack of regard for human life is appalling.
"It still amazes me how cheap a human life can be, and what somebody will throw their own life away for — like spend the rest of their life in prison over a $5 or $10 dispute," homicide commander Lt. Brian Medeiros said. "It seems like there is a lack of values all the way around."
But now, authorities are hopeful that a downward trend in city homicides will continue. Last year, the number of killings in Oakland dropped for a third straight year to 110. It was the lowest yearly total since an 11-year high of 148 in 2006.
With more patrol officers on the streets and increased efforts by specialized units, Oakland police hope the homicide rate will decline even further this year. As of Tuesday afternoon there had been 20 homicides in the city for 2010. At this time last year there had been 25. Overall, violent crime has dropped 27 percent this year, officials say.
Oakland police investigated 108 homicides in the city in 2009, down from 125 in 2008, 127 in 2007 and 148 in 2006.
Better police work
Officials attribute the decline to several factors, including better police deployment during peak crime hours, increased enforcement and intelligence gathering by specialized units and the deaths or arrests of people suspected of killings.
Of the 108 homicides, 100 were reported as murders — defined by the penal code as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice — to state and federal statisticians. The others were classified as either justifiable or self-defense — including four people fatally shot by police, two cases in which people used deadly force to defend themselves from suspects and two deaths of people in vehicles hit by drivers fleeing police that were not considered murders.
BART police investigated two killings in Oakland, both at the Fruitvale station. One was the fatal shooting of Oscar Grant III, 22, of Hayward, by one of their officers Jan. 1, 2009; the other was a stabbing death of a robbery suspect by his intended victim.
Homicide detectives have an emotional stake in all the killings they investigate. But 2009 was especially difficult for them after four Oakland police officers were fatally shot March 21 of that year by a parolee and rapist whom police later killed. It was the most officers fatally shot in one day in department history.
When people ask what motivates someone to kill, the usual answers are greed, anger, disrespect and revenge. That seemed to be the trend in Oakland.
As for motives, 14 of Oakland's 2009 killings were attributed to gang disputes, including some cases in which the victims were innocent people mistakenly believed to have been members of rival gangs, 14 were drug-related, 12 were linked to robberies and 10 resulted from domestic issues. These historically have been the primary motives for murder in Oakland.
Guns, guns, guns
Many of the statistics surrounding homicides have not changed. As in previous years, guns were the most common weapon used in killings. Handguns were used 78 times, assault rifles 12, rifles four and a shotgun once.
But knives and other weapons also were used: There were six fatal stabbings, two strangulations and six deaths by some form of blunt trauma.
Black men and women were victims 68 times, Latinos 16, whites 14, Asians four and people of other nationalities six. Identified suspects included 33 blacks, seven whites and six Latinos. Fifty-four of those killed were between ages 18 and 30. Twenty-nine suspects also fell into that age range.
Nine homicide victims were 17 or younger, a drop of three from 2008. But the number of identified suspects 17 and younger rose from three in 2008 to five in 2009, including a 13-year-old gang member.
Young suspects, especially gang members, are likely influenced by peer pressure, Medeiros said.
"They feel they have to (kill)," he said.
Grim numbers
Of the 108 killings investigated in 2009 by Oakland homicide officers, 49 cases are considered solved, with the arrest of a suspect or the issuance of a warrant or the determination that the killing was justified. In 2009, investigators also solved 13 cases from previous years.
In more than 85 percent of the 59 unsolved cases, Medeiros said, investigators know who the suspect likely is, but don't have enough evidence to charge them.
As for crime scenes, 67 killings happened on a street or sidewalk, with another 30 either inside or directly outside a residence.
Weekends and prime time were made for mayhem: Saturday was the deadliest day of the week, with 24 homicides. The hours of 8 p.m. to midnight were the deadliest time of day, with 34 slayings occurring then.
More than half the killings in Oakland happened below MacArthur Boulevard, from 23rd Avenue to the San Leandro border, with 29 occurring in the southernmost part of East Oakland. Oakland's police beat No. 34, bounded by 82nd, 98th and Bancroft avenues and International Boulevard saw the most killings, with 12. Beat No. 27, bounded by High Street, Brookdale, 66th and Bancroft avenues, saw eight.
New strategies
Police believe new strategies enacted by Chief Anthony Batts coupled with those already in place will continue to have an impact on the city's homicide and crime rates.
There are more patrol officers on the streets during peak crime hours and commanders have been more than willing to assign officers to work with homicide investigators on cases, in some instances even sending officers to other cities to track down suspects, Medeiros said.
A Gangs, Guns Investigative Task Force beefed up by Batts has produced results and is believed to have contributed greatly to the 27 percent drop in violent crime so far this year. It has made scores of arrests, seized dozens of guns and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of drugs.
And the Targeted Enforcement Task Force teams, which do a lot of street work for homicide investigators, have been key in getting violent crime suspects off the streets.
There have been occasions, Medeiros said, in which the TETF officers have sometimes arrested a murder suspect identified by investigators "on the same day of the killing — with the murder weapon still in their possession."

Multi-Tasking Tenders
Charger II Fertilizer Tenders, Ray-Man
Ray-Man offers three different discharge styles. The CHII-SF (pictured) is a traditional, side-discharge tender, while the CHII-FB overhead discharge tender can rotate 270 degrees. The CHII-CB can be used to transfer fertilizer or grain and is gentle enough to handle seed. Ray-Man offers two grades of stainless steel, split compartments, full-length top catwalks, as well as manual or electric roll tarps. Charger II truck mount tenders are built from 12 to 24 feet with multiple compartments. The full-length hopper sub-frame keeps the cones at their full 40-degree angle to ensure maximum cleanout and to keep operators safely on the ground. Charger II semi-trailer tenders are available 30 feet long with five compartments; 36 feet with six compartments; or 42 feet with seven compartments. The integral trailer framework utilizes the hopper sub-frame, tubular steel "X" bracing, and the main frame rails to achieve a superior strength to weight ratio.

How to Stress-Proof Your Diet When You're a Diabetes Caregiver
Between counting the carbs in your loved one's food, tracking their blood sugar readings and monitoring their medicine, you can get so burned out that healthy eating falls by the wayside. Here's how to stress-proof your diet.
You'd think that taking care of a family member with diabetes would make you more attentive to your own nutrition. All that carb counting, veggie shopping and healthy-meal prepping ought to rub off, no?
Fact is, caregiving and weight gain often go hand in hand. According to a study by Evercare, which provides hospice and palliative care, 6 in 10 caregivers say their eating habits are worse than before they became caregivers. Some lack the time and energy to cook, and instead grab processed, packaged or fast foods. Other caregivers binge or eat unhealthy foods to cope with stress. That habit is doubly bad if diabetes runs in your family, since emotional eating can easily lead to weight gain, and that can activate your genetic tendency to develop the disease.
If caregiving is making a mark on your waistline, take heart. The following strategies can keep you from soothing your caregiving stress with food:
Create a calming menu. To avoid turning to unhealthy fare, stock good-for-you food that can help you handle your stress. Snacking on nuts, such as pistachios and almonds, or eating omega-3-rich fish, such as salmon or tuna, can help keep stress in check. That's because these foods reduce levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline. Eat complex carbohydrates, such as legumes and whole-grain breads, cereals and pasta. They'll promote the production of serotonin, one of the body's chemicals responsible for regulating mood. Also add to your diet dried apricots and spinach, which boast nutrients, such as potassium and magnesium, that help beat stress.
Break a sweat. Yes, you've probably heard this before, but it really is true: Exercise boosts the production of endorphins, which trigger positive feelings. And studies show that people who exercise regularly may be less affected by their stress. Try walking, yoga, swimming or karate.
Distract yourself. Don't turn to junk food to drown your sorrows. Call a friend, listen to music or read a book. You can even do laundry or take a nap to distract yourself from eating. Research has shown that simply closing your eyes and imagining a tropical vacation can help kill a craving.
Keep a food diary, and do this with it. Read it! It's the best way to learn from the entries that document what, how much and when you eat. Jot down how you're feeling, too: bored, angry, fed up, just need chocolate, stomach's growling, etc. You'll become more conscious of your eating patterns and the food choices you make when you're stressed. For example, if ice cream is your go-to indulgence when you're tired, try subbing in nonfat frozen yogurt. If you haven't tried it in a while, you might be surprised at how much you like the new varieties that have just 100 calories per ½ cup.
Monitor what you munch. Reach for a snack that includes low-fat protein, like red and green bell pepper strips with hummus, grapes with low-fat string cheese or a celery stalk smeared with peanut butter. These foods will keep you satisfied longer, unlike packaged snack foods and sweets, such as candy bars or chips, which will only cure hunger pangs briefly. Plus, the healthy bites are digested slower than carbs, so you'll be less likely to feel ravenous soon after eating. If you're craving sweets, indulge in a small piece of dark chocolate; studies have shown it may help protect your cardiovascular system.
Moderation is key. If you can't leave comfort foods behind, portion them out. Separate a box of cookies into smaller containers or bags so you'll only eat a serving's worth.
Still can't tackle emotional eating? Visit a counselor or therapist to help you deal with your feelings. If time permits, visit a nutritionist, who can help you develop a plan to eat healthfully.

Parking thousands of bicycles
One of the first, and perhaps the most famous, of the huge cycle parks is that in the photo above - the Fietsflat at Amsterdam Centraal Station. This dates from 2001 and can accommodate 2500 bikes on three levels.
It's no longer anywhere near the biggest. I have previously posted about Groningen's new railway station parking which accommodates 4150 bikes, bringing the total there to well over 6000 (since this was written it's been expanded and you now find 10000 bikes at the station). I have now heard that Utrecht is building spaces for no fewer than 20000 bikes at a new cycle park at the central station. Even Assen with its population of just 65000 will soon have 2300 spaces - nearly as many as in the fietsflat (this has also been increased to over 2500).
The railway company here doesn't really want to upset cyclists, as four out of every ten train passengers arrive at the railway station by bike. However, they have started talking about the idea of charging for cycle parking at railway stations because the cost of providing it is so high. This is compounded by the problem of people dumping old bikes at the station. Another possible approach they could take would be to pay people to look after guarded parking at the station. It would make it easy to tell what bikes had been abandoned.
The problems of having so many bikes go back a long way as you can see in this film from 1958 (courtesy of BeeldenGeluid):
The video says (roughly translated) that:
"There are 900000 people in Amsterdam and 600000 bikes, and that this causes problems in the rush hour. What's more, cyclists have the same problems as drivers in finding places to park their bikes. You'll see a guarded double decker cycle park which dates from that time. They keep your bike safe, and you can book spaces in advance in order to make sure you will be able to park your bike regularly.
Then there is the problem of bikes parked where they shouldn't be on the street, which get in the way and can look unsightly. Some are dumped or stolen. The police collected 2500 bikes off the street at this time, and reduced the rate of cycle theft. A hundred bikes were returned to owners who knew their frame numbers, 150 more were identified by their owners visiting the "bicycle graveyard" to find their bikes and the rest were auctioned."
There are more cycle parking stories.
The photo at the top comes from wikipedia. More details, and licensing conditions for the photo can be found here. In Dutch, "flat" refers to an apartment block, while in English, "flat" refers to a single apartment. Hence the reason for the name "fietsflat" - bicycle apartment block.

But still... it's not nearly the space problem cars create. We should have such problems in America. We have to live farther apart to fit all the cars in. Problem compounding problem.

Wow, so many bicycles! Somebody once claimed that there are 800.000 bicycles in Vienna but less than 20.000 parking spots (well, it seems that most of the 800.000 bicycles aren't actually used, but still). Most people therefore have to chain their bikes to lampposts and traffic signs. Not a good solution. Authorities rather let cars park on the road than bicycles, there are fights over each car parking spot although more than 10 bikes would fit in the same space. Not chaining a bike to a fixed object isn't a very safe solution here, so I only do that if there's no other way. And parking a bike on a sidewalk is only allowed if it is wider than 2.5m anyway (that's not very often the case).

I have noticed that the bicycle racks and fietsenstalling are always really busy at our station from a Monday morning (at 7am) until Friday evening and then suddenly lots of the bikes have gone. I keep thinking that students leave them there on a Sunday night and pick them up again on their way home on Friday.
I have noticed some bikes that have been abandoned and have been taking up a space for months. What usually happens to those bikes? I assumed that they would take them away after some period of time and that sometimes happens if lots of bikes have been dumped infront of the station - never to the bikes that have been parked as far as I can tell.

My first thought was...has to be less space then the equivilent number of cars. I would think that just by posting no overnight parking, that would help resolve some of the problem. At 2 am, a crew comes in and removes all remaining bikes. they are held for a few weeks, then if not claimed and the penalty fee paid, they are auctioned off.
But on the whole ..I am envious of having the problem...too many bikes being used...wow s ocompletely differenet from anything in North America

I'm afraid that closing the cycle parks overnight would not work. Lots of people have reasons to leave their bikes overnight. e.g. shift workers, people who leave a bike at the station because they live further away, people who have gone on holiday by train etc.
What does happen occasionally is that bikes have labels attached saying when they will be removed (perhaps in two weeks time). If they remain then they are taken from the racks.

The Normal Heights community was founded in 1906, and soon became one of San Diego's first "streetcar suburbs" with the development of an electric trolley route along Adams Avenue. The neighborhood is centrally located within the city of San Diego, just south of Mission Valley. Like many other urban neighborhoods north of Balboa Park, Normal Heights has a high rate of pedestrian activity. The community hosts several large events such as the Adams Avenue Street Fair, Adams Avenue Unplugged, and the Taste of Adams Avenue. Homes in the area include Craftsman cottages, bungalows, and some apartments.

Reprinted with the kind permission of Lisa Lorden Myers and Living with CFS & Fibromyalgia.
'Tis the season of New Year's Resolutions. People make them, and frequently they break them. Many resolutions center around the same general principles: working harder and accomplishing more. For perfectionists, New Year's resolutions are about being more perfect. They are appealing and natural, especially to those of us whose self-esteem is intertwined with our sense of achievement. Many people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and other chronic illnesses recognize themselves in this category: we often measure our worth in the currency of how much we do. Yet the typical goals declared on January 1st of each year may be more unrealistic than ever.
In his book, Don't Just Do Something, Sit There, Richard Eyre explains how some of the traditional wisdom about self-improvement is outdated or inaccurate. He argues that we need new paradigms to "reflect our world as it really is, and our lifestyles as they really ought to be." This is particularly true for people who are debilitated by chronic illness. Perhaps we need to rethink these annual goals and look to the New Year with a spirit of "Anti-Resolutions"—that is, to release ourselves from the obligation of things we are not able to do and consider alternatives more supportive of healing and well-being.
Let's look at some typical January 1st declarations and how they might be transformed to better fit the lives of people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or other chronic illness:
I will exercise for one hour every day, no matter how I feel.
? I will listen to my body, avoiding exercise that results in a worsening of my symptoms.
I will wake up an hour earlier each morning.
? I will try to rest an hour each day.
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
I will work harder to get that promotion this year.
? I will acknowledge my health is more important than that promotion this year.
I will manage my time so that I can do more.
? I will pace myself to allow for rest and recovery.
I will be more generous to others with my time and energy.
? I will be more protective of my time and energy in order to take better care of myself.
I will return phone calls promptly.
? I will answer the phone less frequently.
I will accomplish all the items on my To-Do List.
? I will eliminate most of the items on my To-Do List.
The "transformed" list of resolutions may look quite different from the traditional one. But is it any less important? And is it any less challenging? It's funny how determination and will power can be so difficult to apply to the goal of doing less, instead of doing more. We may know how to commit ourselves to goals and work to achieve them, but can we have similar determination to rest and to heal? Can our will power be devoted to "letting go"? Perhaps the New Year is a time to re-focus ourselves less on doing, and more on being.
Consider making your own such list of "anti-resolutions" that focus not on getting things done, but on improving your health and quality of life. Or you may not want to make any resolutions at all. This year, the most empowering declaration for us might be that we will make no resolutions, set no quantified goals, and rely on no concrete measures of success. Instead, we can open our bodies and minds to be healed and open our hearts to contentment and peace.
Healing requires no resolutions—it requires only that we live each day the best way we know how, listening to our bodies, and nurturing our souls. Even if we abandon every resolution we've ever made, perhaps we will start to experience the healing value of letting go.

If you're using OKCupid to help you find true love, and the lack of response from potential mates is depressing, Chris McKinlay's story should cheer you up.
McKinlay was using OKCupid and other sites for months with no success when it dawned on him that he was doing it wrong, reports Wired's Kevin Poulsen in an in-depth profile.
OKCupid matches people by asking them to answer 350 questions from a pool of thousands. But, McKinlay realized, that if the 350 questions you answered don't line up with the 350 questions your soul mate answered, OKCupid will never show your profiles to each other.
So he hacked up a way to find out which questions to answer. This involved setting up fake accounts, scraping questions from thousands of women's accounts, setting up mathematical models.
This is not ok with OKCupid, by the way. His fake accounts were spotted and banned, Poulsen reports.
But he eluded detection long enough to discover the questions to answer. So he answered them.
And suddenly, OKCupid was showing his profile to 400 women a day.
It wasn't a recipe for instant love. He first went on an astounding 88 first dates. That included a date with the woman that would become his fiance.
For the engineers among us, Wired goes into great details on the hack. But even if you're not another McKinlay, his story might help you. If your profile isn't working, it might not be you. You might simply need to answer different questions.

"Traffic Engineering is that phase of engineering which deals with the planning, geometric design and traffic operations of roads, streets, and highways, their networks, terminals, abutting lands, and relationships with other modes of transportation for the achievement of safe, efficient, and convenient movement of persons and goods." - Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) YearbookThe actions and activities of Traffic Engineering staff are guided by a variety of policies and authorities, primarily identified within the Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC). Title 14, "Vehicles and Traffic," of the BMC has been established to ensure consistency in the use and placement of traffic control devices. The title is guided by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the California Vehicle Code.
The Berkeley Municipal Code guides decisions on sign placement. For major and collector streets, stop sign controls on these streets require approval by the City Council. Staff determines if the proposed installations meet California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). If the proposal is part of an overall neighborhood traffic management plan or seems controversial, the report may be first submitted to the Transportation Commission for review at a public meeting. Installation on local streets is at the discretion of the Traffic Engineer. The investigation includes review of traffic volumes/turning movements, approach speeds, pedestrians (especially school children), accident data, and sight visibilities. Multiway stops signs have also been installed at intersections to help reduce the adverse effect of special crime related problems. The stop ahead (symbol) sign may be installed where visibility is restricted, high approach speeds require advance warning, and at unexpected stop sign locations pursuant to the MUTCD and the Caltrans Traffic Manual.

I'm not sure who said it first, but I've always stuck with the philosophy that you are only as good as your last project car. It doesn't matter what you did "back in tha day" but rather what have you done lately. With Grip Tuning, their approach is to take a project and continue to refine it over time. To get it built to the point where it is constantly evolving but also constantly gets noticed.
Since we first saw GRIP Tuning products at SEMA years ago they continued to impress us with affordable and stylish bodykits. Based in Warren, MI, GRIP Tuning specializes in the design, distribution and sales of high-quality body kits for both domestics and imports. Since everything is done in-house at their headquarters in Warren, MI, GRIP Tuning is able to provide unbelievable availability and lightning-fast shipping times. Their nationwide network of distribution centers is something distributors of overseas kits just can't equal.
GRIP's fast growing reputation started off with their award-winning body kits for the Chrysler 300C and Dodge Charger. These were affordable kits that were also very durable since they were made from strong ABS plastic as opposed to delicate exotic composites.
Since then, their ability to find niche markets in the industry for cars that are popular but not well-supported by other manufacturers has driven their growth. Their products are also made in the USA, a factor which has become more important than ever.
Owner Daniel Elson of Escondido, CA was fortunate enough to meet up with the team at Grip Tuning and discussed a sponsored bodykit for his Charger. While shopping around for cars, Elson decided his 2006 Dodge Charger R/T would be the best of all worlds. "I chose the Charger because I loved the styling," said Elson. "And since it was a four door, I could get the 'OK' from the wife to purchase it. This is by far one of the best cars I have ever owned. It has the muscle car looks and power but the ride and quality of a Mercedes." Elson's comparison of the Charger to a Mercedes is right on the money, since its underpinnings come from the E-Class.
With the right platform picked Elson wanted to ensure no one would have a Changer that looked like his. A full 4-piece Grip Tuning body kit was added to the project to make the Changer's aggressive mug look even meaner. The Charger was taken to AutoExplosion in Gardena, CA for proper fitment and several coats of Brilliant Black Top Silver with a Burnt Orange pinstripe. The car was accented with a Grip Tuning stainless steel grill and a Carbon by Design carbon fiber hood, trunk pillars and spoiler. Some HID fogs were added and all of the factory lenses were blacked out to complete the look.
Now that the exterior was sorted out, it was time to add some aggressive rollers for Southern California hot spots. A set of Lexani LSS10 22x9 and 22x10-inch wheels were selected along with some Toyo Proxes 255mm and 285mm meats. The right stance was achieved using B&G springs along with Tokico Blues to stiffen the ride. From there a set of Eibach sways eliminate some of the roll in this 4000-pounder.
The attention turned to the interior and audio install, both of which are slamming. The interior was ramped up by Road Wire in Los Angeles, CA who recovered everything. From the two tone leather seats to the headliner and interior panels, it's all new. The crew also added a carbon fiber gauge pod top house and AEM Wideband Air/Fuel and AEM Boost/Vacuum gauges.
The audio has been ramped up with some legendary gear from Orion. The Orion HCCA 10001 power amp drives a pair of hard-hitting Orion XTR 15-inch subs in the trunk. The balance of the system is driven by an Orion HCCA 5004 amp pushing Orion 62 components around the cabin.
Unlike many show and sound projects, this Charger has some go under the hood. The 5.7L mill was ramped up with some Stage II 6.1L heads from HHP/BES out of Newark, DE. Modern muscle provided the ported throttle body and, as we were writing this article, a Procharger supercharger kit was being installed. So look out for round two.

Jodrell Bank Observatory is bidding to stand alongside the Taj Mahal and Stonehenge on the international heritage stage.
The University of Manchester's site in Cheshire, home to its famous Lovell Telescope, has been selected as the next UK candidate to go forward for nomination to Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) as a World Heritage Site.
The observatory is preparing the papers for nomination, and they will be submitted to Unesco in January 2018.
Professor Teresa Anderson, director of Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre, said: "We have been preparing the case for the World Heritage Site inscription for Jodrell Bank Observatory for some years now, so it's absolutely fantastic to reach this milestone.
"The Lovell Telescope in particular has become an icon for science and engineering, and we look forward to showcasing the rich scientific heritage of this and the wider site on an international stage."
A World Heritage Site is listed by Unesco as a place with cultural or physical significance considered to be of "Outstanding Universal Value".
The 60-year-old Lovell Telescope, which dominates the site, was the world's largest steerable telescope when it was completed in 1957.
Its team tracked the flight of the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, the first-ever artificial satellite.
Sir Bernard Lovell, the leader of the team which built the telescope, died in 2012 aged 98.
The Discovery Centre at the site sees 185,000 visitors each year, including 26,000 school pupils on educational visits.
Professor Tim O'Brien, associate director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, added: "Jodrell Bank is the one remaining radio astronomy site, worldwide which dates from the early days, so it is very important that we protect and celebrate the physical record of our involvement in the creation of a new science."

Today I have the great pleasure to bring you a very special reader's home. She has been coming to perch. in New Orleans for design ideas, and over the last couple of years has become very dear to us.
Fabric from perch. - Note the matching dog bed!
I met Kellie when I first started working at perch. I liked her right away, liked the choices she made in the shop. We struck up a friendship. Sometimes she brought her husband Marc with her, who is adorable.
Kellie loves to decorate, though she is not one aspiring to be a designer or a decorator. Her Mom has always done interesting serial home renovating and decorating, and Kellie can't remember a time some craft project was happening in her house.
Kellie is one of four girls. She was fortunate enough to grow up in a home where her mom was constantly redesigning, redecorating and rearranging. All four of the "girls" have the decorating bug, although they all have different styles.
Kellie says, "Maybe it's genetic!?! When my mom was ready for a change, she went for it. One time mom decided she didn't like the location of her kitchen. She called the plumber, electrician, painter, and carpenter and had them move her kitchen to an entirely different part of the house. The funny thing is…nobody flinched…not Dad, not my sisters. We were used to the constant projects and upgrades".
The house is a new build in Greta, Louisiana, just on the other side of the Mississippi River from perch. It is adorable, and looks like it has been there for a hundred years.
Kellie and Marc purchased the house in August of 2004. Initially, Marc did not like the house at all and did not want to buy it. Admittedly, it wasn't too spectacular. It needed some help but Kellie knew she could make the house a beautiful home. Also, she loved the neighborhood and loved the fact that they could walk to church, the post office, bank, coffee shop, florist, etc.
Kellie loves design books, and magazines, and blogs, and she is well versed in what's happening in the design world. She knows how to use trends, and make them her own long lasting classics.
Her style is decidedly feminine, what's she calls as girly.
Kellie tells us, "Marc's and my home is in a constant state of change. In the six years we have been in the house we have added a sun room, added a fireplace, re-did the kitchen, painted each room a godzillion times, and added and subtracted furniture and art. The den has been four different colors. Thank god my husband's patient!"
What inspires Kellie's decor choices? She tells us, "I am definitely feminine and girly—maybe from growing up in a house full of girls. I like soft pastel-ly colors and lots of whites. I always lean toward soft pinks and lavenders. My husband is pretty laid back about my girlie-ness and decorating and takes it all in stride. His only request was that we not have a pink bedroom. So I painted our bedroom a color called Lily Lavender! I try to have an eclectic assortment of furniture. I don't want to be too matchy-matchy. My furniture ranges from mid-century to antique French to contemporary. And I love, love, love buying art!"
Marc is perfectly at ease with Kellie's choices, and loves how pretty she has made their home.
Marc is in the military, and has been deployed overseas for a year. He is home for a small leave for a week or so, and Kellie is anxious to show him some of the changes she's made while he has been away.
Marc is a Sergeant First Class in the U.S. Army. He is an infantry soldier and has spent the past six months serving in Iraq. Marc knows that anytime he leaves for a deployment he will be coming home to an "updated" and changed house. Working on the house keeps Kellie occupied, and keeps her mind off of the realities of his job.
Kellie is a methodical decorator. She knows what she wants, and she saves up her cash for it. She works hard, and she shops wisely. She loves to mix vintage and antique and contemporary things, using a pale color palette of blues, whites, grays, lavender, and pink.
There is a pooch in the house named Toulouse, so everything is dog friendly. Toulouse is affectionately called Lucy, and was found walking the streets of Houston.
She was homeless and they took her in. Kellie says, "I didn't want a dog but Marc loved her so much that I caved."
Lucy has been a great dog and takes good care of Kellie while Marc is away. They assume Lucy is about 7 years old although they aren't quite sure.
Kellie shops at perch. , and at other stores on Magazine Street. She supports local businesses as much as possible. She also is a savvy internet shopper.
She loves high end luxury things as well as anyone, but if her budget does allow for them, she scales down and uses one or two really nice things mixed in.
Kravet linen covered sofa - a definite investment and splurge
Synthetic Antelope area rug is very affordable
All of these pieces including fabric for pillows
and white lacquer coffee table are from perch.
Pink chair is vintage
Kellie's sister made the pillows
Vintage trim on pillow from perch.
Right after Katrina, Kellie bought three Julie Neill chandeliers. She saved up for them and bought them one at a time. The prices were more reasonable then, though certainly not bargain basement.
We searched long and hard for her, and realized that matching the kitchen fixture would be impossible, and that two different chandeliers could coexist, and be quite interesting and beautiful.
I found a candle chandelier at Tommys Flower Shop in the French Quarter (933 Rue Royal, New Orleans, LA 70116, phone - 504-522-6563), and we had our perch. electrician wire it up.
The best part is that the cost was only $465. total! Compared to the starting cost in the $2000. range for a chandelier style like this we were pleased and Kellie was thrilled.
Kellie has some lovely china from her grandmother, and she mixes in vintage silverware and lovely monogrammed linen napkins when she sets the table.
Dining room
Marc and Kellie had the kitchen redone. It has a small footprint, so they were able to use the luxury items they wanted: stone counter tops, farm house sink, stainless appliances, Carera subway tile black splash, and the drum style Julie Neill chandelier.
Each of the three bedrooms in the home are unique and beautiful.
The front bedroom has a French daybed, an antique tall clock, a zebra print hide on the floor, and a Lucite desk with a seat belt chair.
The guest bedroom is all vintage from the charming painted bed and dresser, to the lamps and the chandelier.
The silk drapes were made by Kellie's sister, and the hand made return rod came from perch. The mirror night stands are from Pottery Barn.
She said they were so nice to her to suggest this as a way to have a little luxury
The lavender master bedroom has the third Julie Neill chandelier.
Kellie and Marc and I have been married for 7 years. They are a great match!
She says, "I'm a high-strung lunatic and he is cool, calm and laid-back. I am fortunate that my husband lets me do my thing with the house. He never balks at my girlie decorating or my constant projects. He is definitely secure in his masculinity. I think it's great that my combat soldier of a husband sleeps in a Lily Lavender bedroom."
There are vintage side tables and chairs, and a fabulous Barbara Barry vanity with a Kartell Victoria Ghost chair and an antique trumeau mirror above it.
The enclosed back porch (sun room) is adorable, with a French settee covered in pink on one side of the room, and a pair of sleek white Barcelona chairs on the other.
Heavily lined white duck drapes are very elegant and help keep the room cool in the Summer and warm in the winter.

Lady paintings on the porch
Sweet blue shed in the back yard
The art collection interweaves a story throughout the entire house. Kellie and Marc collect local artists, and what they love. It is colorful and whimsical.
So there you have it! Kellie and Marc and their pretty little house. I hope it inspires you and that you had as much fun looking at all the photos as I had taking them.
Kellie's sister Maggie, is a beautiful seamstress and she has sewn all of the curtains and pillows throughout the house. She has an etsy website where she sells her original designs and creations, and she can also make just about anything to order.
In addition to her etsy website she sews military bags and purses for a company called "Hero On My Arm". You can order a bag HERE
I asked Kellie how her home made her and Marc feel: "I am definitely a nester, and I love my nest. My job is in sales and I spend my days talking and meeting and negotiating. At the end of the day, I want tranquility. My house is just that…soft, calm and quiet. I love when it's late at night and Marc and I are on the couch watching TV with the dog at our feet and the dishwasher humming. I feel safe and serene. So lovely. Marc's much simpler and easier than me. He just wants a place to eat his Cheetos, take a shower, and grow tomatoes."
Marc and Kellie both grew up in New Orleans but in different parts of the city. She was a west bank kid (Algiers) and Marc grew up in eastern New Orleans and the Northshore. They both love New Orleans and plan on staying.

Corey Dickerson leaves Rockies game in the fifth inning with leg injury
The good news for Corey Dickerson on Saturday was his left foot felt much better. He's starting to quell a multi-day case of plantar fasciitis with some shoe insoles. He's gellin'.
Bad news is he added a left quad injury. Dickerson fouled a ball off his back leg in the fifth inning before hitting into a double play.
Manager Walt Weiss said the leg was "pretty swollen" and Dickerson needed a sub.
Dickerson had a lighter view.

The symbol of The Concord Coalition is an American minuteman, a patriot standing watch over a small child. This symbol reflects our belief that fiscal responsibility is as much of a moral duty as it is an economic concern. As Concord's founding Co-Chair Senator Paul E. Tsongas put it, "The bond between parent and child is nature's strongest. Providing for the well-being of the young is how every generation of Americans undertook their stewardship."
Fiscal responsibility is essential to creating a better, stronger, more prosperous nation for the next generation. The choices we make today -- or fail to make -- will determine what kind of future our children and grandchildren inherit 20 and 40 years from now.
The nation's economic future and fiscal responsibility are directly linked. There is a tie between budget deficits today and what society can enjoy tomorrow. Eliminating the deficit is an important first step. The larger challenge, however, is to reform our age-related entitlement programs, which are projected to grow at an unsustainable rate as the population ages. Facing up to both the short and long-term fiscal challenges will help put the nation on a path to lasting prosperity and a rising standard of living. If, on the other hand, we fail to quickly address the growing imbalance between federal commitments and available revenues, we will squander the only opportunity to get our finances in order before the aging of America makes our fiscal situation far more difficult. Doing so would be to ignore every principle of public finance, generational equity, and long-term economic stewardship. Deficits matter.
Federal Reserve Board Governor Edward M. Gramlich explained the connection between deficits and the future economy at a Concord Coalition policy forum in June 2004:
"Fiscal policy can have important long-run effects on the health of the economy, particularly through its impact on national saving and the growth of productivity. National savings can be generated privately, by households and business, or publicly, by government. Although fiscal policy can, in theory, help boost private saving, this has proven difficult, in practice. Instead, the most important effect of fiscal policy on national saving has been through the direct government budget. When the government runs deficits, it siphons off private savings (reducing national saving), leaving less available for capital investment. With less capital investment, less new equipment is provided to workers, and, all else being equal, future productivity growth rates and levels are lower."
Because there are only so many hours in each day, the principal way Americans can increase their standard of living is if each worker becomes more productive: produces more and better goods and services for each hour worked. This phenomenon is especially important when labor force growth slows -- as we expect to happen because of demographic changes in our society like the aging of the baby boom generation and declining birthrates. For workers to become more productive, investments must be made in education and training; in modernized plants, equipment, and productive techniques; in new discoveries and innovations; and in transportation, communications, and other infrastructure. To make these investments, there must be a pool of savings that can be used for this purpose. Historically, the United States has had a particularly low rate of private savings, but, what is worse, the federal government's deficit is financed by soaking up much of the savings we do manage to put away. When the government spends more money than it has, it borrows the rest. Most of the money borrowed comes from private savings. If deficits are financed by borrowing from domestic lenders, the economy will have less money available for investing here at home in the building blocks of our economic future. If they are financed by foreigners, we will owe a mushrooming debt to the rest of the world, with growing interest costs that must be serviced every year. As Fed Governor Gramlich summed up in his 2004 Concord Coalition speech,
"Productivity growth is the principal source of improvement in economic well-being. The faster productivity increases over time, the more rapidly living standards increase. Maintaining a rapid rate of trend productivity growth is particularly important in light of the coming budgetary pressures associated with the retirement of the baby boom generation. A more productive economy will ease the financing of Social Security and Medicare benefits for tomorrow's retirees without placing an undue burden on tomorrow's workers. In contrast, if we allow debt to build now and in coming years, we will have both lower output to meet future obligations as well as the added burden of financing a growing amount of debt. Indeed, under numerous scenarios, our current debt path is unsustainable: Without changes to taxes or spending, we may reach a point where ever-larger amounts of debt must be issued to pay ever-larger interest charges.
"To be sure, budget deficits are not always inappropriate, and to a certain extent, the recent fiscal deficits have helped limit the recent economic slowdown. But now that the recovery is well under way, it is important to concentrate on longer-run fiscal policy. Specifically, it is time to bring the budget deficits under control."
Solving the deficit problem does not automatically guarantee a rosy economic future. Other developments are needed to complement a balanced budget: reduced consumption, increasing savings and investment, continued improvements in productivity, improved education, inflation and interest rates at desirable levels, and a favorable worldwide economic climate. But unless we get our deficit problem behind us, we will remain unable to take advantage of these other necessary economic ingredients.
We cannot ignore the consequences of deficits much longer. Growing commitments made by one generation to the next cannot be honored on empty pocketbooks. A stagnant long-term economy cannot support retirement payments, medical care, and all the other benefits and services we would like. And it cannot support economic opportunity for today's youth to live as well as their parents' generation.
Massive federal budget deficits threaten our economy in other ways as well. They increase the likelihood of re-igniting inflation by putting pressure on the government simply to print more money to pay off its debt. The more dollars are printed, the less each dollar in your wallet is worth.
As foreign ownership of our resources has grown, so has our dependence on the actions of foreign investors and governments. These entities have come to own more and more of our productive capacity. In addition, foreign investors have bought up over 40 percent of our government's debt held by the public. As foreign holding of U.S. debt grows, so will U.S. interest payments to foreign nationals.
Huge, continual deficits strangle the ability of even a nation as rich as ours to respond when emergencies arise or when new opportunities or problems emerge, including recession. With our government deep in debt and continuing to run huge deficits, we may find it impossible to shoulder new responsibilities.
Ultimately, the choice rests with us. We can demand that our leaders undertake the kinds of reforms, including long-term entitlement reforms, that are needed to put the budget on a sustainable trajectory -- and face up to the required sacrifice. Or we can continue to pretend that our choices have no consequences -- and let our children pay the price in lost opportunities, lower living standards, and a less safe and secure place in the world.

Instead of bagging up valuable nutrients and sending them to the landfill, consider grasscycling. When you grasscycle, you leave grass clippings on the lawn to decompose naturally. Grasscycling improves the overall quality of your lawn and can provide the nutrient equivalent of up to one fertilizer application. In addition, grasscycling also saves time and water because the clippings help to hold moisture on your lawn.

So far they've done well with the Monta for Bogut deal. Interesting to see how that pans out starting next season, but the move itself looks real good.
Lol Cohan was such a -1000000 owner that the only requirement for the new owner to be better was simply to have a brain.
Literally, me and you could've made better basketball decisions than Cohan and Co. I'm 100% confident of that, because the way this team was ran for so long was worse than Joe shmo fan off the street. At least Jo Shmo fan wanted to win! That's more than Cohan could say. Selling the team truly was the turning of the tide because finally we got someone in there who's going to at least put some thought into making logical basketball decisions, and isn't all about the $$, and actually wants to win. Strange. A normal owner? What a concept lol
True, but going back to what migs said in that quote, isn't that trade similar to 07 trade?
A guard getting 20 points here (probably 15 or 16 elsewhere) for a big man with risk involved that should pay off in a year?
Granted, Bogut is clearly established compared to Wright, but to reiterate, there's risks involved in both deals. Bogut's risk is injuries, Wright's risk was the allure of potential.
And, concurrently, I was glad we pulled the trigger on both deals.

Mosquitoes are small, blood-feeding flies (Order: Diptera, Family: Culicidae). Most species are only 1/8 - 1/4" long. Adult mosquitoes have two wings and a long needle-like mouth (called a proboscis). Immature stages of mosquitoes are aquatic and do not resemble the adults. Mosquito larvae are elongated and often have a long respiratory siphon, while pupae are comma-shaped and have two smaller breathing tubes.
Mosquitoes develop in a wide range of aquatic habitats; please view our Mosquito Production Sources Gallery to see a variety of places where mosquitoes commonly lay their eggs. Some species of mosquitoes lay large numbers of eggs directly onto standing water, while others deposit eggs in areas that periodically flood. Mosquitoes progress through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Aquatic mosquito larvae hatch from eggs and develop into pupae. The pupae emerge from the water as adults. Warm temperatures generally encourage faster development, with some mosquitoes developing from egg to adult in approximately one week. Please see our Mosquito Life Cycle Gallery to see pictures of all life stages of mosquitoes.
- Adult female mosquitoes may bite humans or other vertebrates (including pets, livestock and wildlife) to obtain the blood required for egg development.
- Bites cause skin irritation and may become infected especially if the bite is scratched.
- Worldwide, mosquitoes are known to transmit a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, filarial nematodes, and protozoans such as the parasite that causes malaria.
- Locally, mosquitoes are known to transmit West Nile virus (WNV) to humans and dog heartworm to certain animals.
- Click here for an overview of the District's mosquito control activities.
Reduce outdoor exposure to mosquitoes:
- Avoid being outdoors during peak mosquito activity (dawn and dusk).
- Use mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus (always carefully read and follow the directions on the label!)
- Wear protective clothing.
Reduce indoor exposure to mosquitoes:
- Keep doors and windows closed whenever possible.
- Check and maintain all window and door screens.
Prevent mosquitoes from growing near your home:
- Use this checklist to help identify areas around your home that may produce mosquitoes.
- Flip, dump or drain all temporary sources of standing water.
- Contact the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control District (800.231.3236) if you have a mosquito-related problem that you cannot resolve on your own.

Dying Kentucky Boy Comes Closer to World Record for Most Christmas Cards
(SALYERSVILLE, Ky.) -- Under the Christmas tree was everything 9-year-old Dalton Dingus had hoped for -- an iPad and an iPhone, a big red toolbox filled with real tools just like his grandpa's, and a stack of Christmas cards nearly as tall he, each with the same wish: that he live to break a Guinness record, and for a long, long time after that.
For a month now, cards by the hundreds of thousands have come from all over the world -- well wishes and Christmas greetings from cities and countries the of which the Kentucky boy never heard before.
The cards have come from Germany and Ukraine, from South Carolina and South Korea. They're written in languages Dalton cannot read, but they all deliver the same message, a wish that the little boy could set a Guinness record for receiving most Christmas cards before he succumbs to a disease that has already made it virtually impossible for him to breathe.
As far as his mother, Jessica Dingus, is concerned, "It's a Christmas miracle."
At first, the cards came in slowly. A family friend had posted an appeal for well-wishes on Facebook. Dalton's mother would display them on the mantel and in his room beside his bed. Most came from neighbors and friends, a few from friends of friends.
That first post on Facebook went viral, spreading across the Internet, getting picked up by a local newspaper and other media.
Miss Kentucky showed up at Dalton's house in Salyersville, Ky., carrying some cards. So did a unit of Kentucky State Troopers and the star of Animal Planet's Call of the Wildman.
By Wednesday, his mother estimated the boy had received 504,269 cards.
On Christmas Eve alone, the postal service delivered 30,000 individual letters, plus 1,972 packages, some of which were filled with cards and 55 express packages, said David Walton, a spokesman for the US Postal Service. UPS and FedEx delivered hundreds more.
Dalton has stage four cystic fibrosis. In October, his mother said, "Doctors had given up on him."
"We left the hospital to come home. They gave him two to eight days to live," Jessica Dingus told ABCNews.com
Dalton takes 18 different medicines every day, including "lots of pills and antibiotics," his mother said.
He goes through 12 liters of oxygen a day and wears a face mask to help him breathe, making him look like a miniature fighter pilot with an interest in coloring and playing with LEGO blocks.
For weeks since the cards started coming, Jessica Dingus said, Dalton's health has improved.
"He's doing pretty good now," she said. "It's just been the best Christmas ever.
"He's excited for the first time in a long time," she said. "He's smiling more. He's laughing more, he's beginning to become how he was two years ago.
"I think just knowing people really do care for him, that the cards let him know people love him, it has all helped," she said.
The cards can longer fit in Dalton's home. The letter carrier can't fit them all in her truck anymore, and a local television reporter has taken to filling a trailer to bring all the cards to Dalton's grandfather's church.
There, at the Bethlehem to Cavalry Apostolic Church, dozens of volunteers, 50 of them on Christmas Eve alone, sorted the mail fire-brigade style, forming lines and handing off the letters to empty the trailer.
The volunteers count the cards and open and read each of them, flagging special ones to be brought to Dalton for him to read.
"We're looking for those special cards we think Dalton would like to read. One little girl said she wished he was her boyfriend," said Debra Williams, a volunteer at the church.
"The big majority of the town has sent cards or is helping out. Everyone just wants to do what we can. We're all just praying and hoping," she said.
Despite some reports that Dalton had already broken the record for receiving the most Christmas cards, spokeswoman Jamie Panas said Guinness, "currently does not monitor a category for this."
However, Guinness does have an old record on the books. As of 1992, the last official time Guinness allowed for a Christmas card category, Canadian Jarrod Booth had collected 205,120.
Jessica Dingus told ABCNews.com that she has since registered Dalton in the hopes the record keepers will open a category for him.
There are some reports that Dalton has only until Dec. 31 to break the record, but Panas said that was not true.
To send Dalton a Christmas card, address it to: Dalton Dingus HC 62 Box 1249 Salyersville, KY 41465.

Polls have shown that political partisanship has surged to an all time high over the past decade, driven in part by ongoing culture wars on controversial social issues.
But the Republican-Democrat split doesn't get to the heart of what's really dividing Americans on these issues. When it comes down to it, Americans generally agree with members of their own generation.
We've found eight instances in which political fights are fundamentally generational. Specifically, the contrast lies among the millennials, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation.
