Scratch, now 82 years young, will embark on a tour across North America performing his 1973 studio masterpiece live in its entirety for the first time, aided by the technology of NYC's Subatomic Sound System, his hybrid band of new school electronics and veteran Jamaican musicians from the Black Ark era recordings. They will also perform music from their album "Super Ape Returns To Conquer" ( http://bit.ly/SS033s ) which topped both reggae and electronic charts in 2018, plus singles like "Black Ark Vampires" (http://bit.ly/BAVss ) and classics from Perry's work with the likes of Bob Marley, Max Romeo, and many more. Perry's Blackboard Jungle album includes dub remixes of hit songs he co-wrote with Bob Marley, "Kaya" & "Keep On Movin", as well as other big tunes from The Wailers and Junior Byles. Kaya turned out to be Marley's most successful album of his career and celebrated its own anniversary with a massive festival earlier this year.

Perry's collaborations in the early 1970s with Bob Marley & The Wailers defined the reggae genre and launched them to super stardom, but Perry himself shifted his focus in 1973 to constructing his infamous Black Ark recording studio so he could create a mystical new genre called "dub" made by using the mixing board as an instrument and stripping the music down primarily to drums and bass. Blackboard Jungle was the world's first dub reggae album, and signaled not only the birth of dub as a genre, but also the dawn of remixing, the concept of the producer as an artist, and the power of an independent home studio to create world class music – ideas that impacted so many people around the world that they have essentially become the blueprint for music in the 21st century. Kanye West & Jay Z have sampled his recordings, the Sex Pistols hailed his work as inspiration for the punk movement, and artists across generations like Paul McCartney, Keith Richards, The Clash, The Beastie Boys, and Major Lazer have all sought out Perry for collaborations.
For over eight years in the USA, Subatomic Sound System has been Scratch's go to band for bringing his Black Ark Studio sound live to the stage, a unique hybrid configuration that brings together a handful of live musicians like legendary Jamaican percussionist Larry McDonald (Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, The Skatalites, Gil Scot Heron) with computers and live dub mixing of classic recordings as well as brand new sounds Scratch hears from outer space. Formed in NYC at the turn of the millennium, Subatomic Sound System tours worldwide as DJ or live performance and band for Lee Scratch Perry; runs the Subatomic Sound label; hosts a radio show on Brooklyn Radio; and founded Dub Champions Festival.
Born in Jamaica in 1936, Lee "Scratch" Perry has been overturning tradition and confounding conventional wisdom for more than six decades. In the process, the widely acknowledged father of dub reggae became arguably the first creatively driven "artist-producer" in modern recorded music. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Perry on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Lee Perry began in the music business in the 1950's and by the 1960's became known for his innovative production techniques as well as his eccentric character. His first single "People Funny Boy" in 1968 was notable for its innovative use of sampling as well as a fast, chugging beat that would soon become identifiable as "reggae". Concurrent with his own releases with the Upsetters, Perry produced numerous reggae artists at his Black Ark studio, including Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Heptones, and Max Romeo.
After his famed Black Ark Studio was consumed by fire, Perry took refuge in England and the USA performing live and making records with collaborators from a wide range of musical genres, all artists who had been inspired by his innovative work. NYC bass music specialists Subatomic Sound System connected with Scratch in 2007, creating his first dubstep remixes through a collaboration with Vienna's Dubblestandart.
Lee "Scratch" Perry, 82 years young and now into his sixth decade as a pop-music provocateur, has few peers when it comes to fresh ideas and their implementation. Perry remains one of the world's most imaginative sonic architects and his live show with Subatomic Sound System is proof that regardless of his age, he continues to break new ground.
"Late 1973 saw the release of one of the greatest Lee Perry productions ever: UPSETTERS 14 DUB BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, the album better known as Blackboard Jungle Dub. The first fully-fledged Lee "Scratch" Perry dub album, and one of a handful of records vying for the title of "First Dub LP," the album was initially issued in small quantities in Jamaica on the Upsetter label as a 14-song album mixed with channel separation, like an Esquivel record, with the drum and bass largely in the left speaker, and the guitar and horns in the right; later editions were reduced to 12 songs, and often issued with a monophonic mix (check the Auralux edition for the definitive reissue).
Some say King Tubby collaborated with Perry on the release, though Perry has often downplayed or denied Tubby's involvement. In any case, opening number "Blackboard Jungle" is an awesome dub of "Bucky Skank," had sense-surround drums, roaring sirens and wild guitar licks; "Kasha Macka" re-worked Prince Django's "Hot Tip" within a stop-and-go mixing format; and there are dubs of Junior Byles' "Place Called Africa," and the Wailers' "Kaya," "Dreamland" and "Keep On Moving." A true classic of the dub genre, this album is absolutely essential." – David Katz, reggae historian and author of Lee Perry's biography ( http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/02/lee-scratch-perry-album-guide )

I need a logo that says class, professionalism but yet eye catching. See our website, http://www.407rentals.com. I want a logo icon that I can brand use on all marketing and publications we do. Yard signs, stationary, logo on our site, contracts, this logo will be on everything we do.
Orlando Realty & Property Management by Keller Williams Realty At The Parks
My team is currently with Remax. We are leaving to go to Keller Williams. One reason why is we really want to brand our team well. We have a good name picked out (unless you have a better idea) in "Orlando Realty & Property Management". We need a good logo now too. I run a competitive, professional team doing both real estate sales and leasing of residential properties. I dont like boring websites, logos, etc. But I dont want something with a ton of flashiness. If you need/want further info, feel free to contact us.
- Item 1...Either the logo or words around it or both (or whatever you come up with), use black and the dark blue color at our website (www.407rentals.com).
- The "By Keller Williams Realty At The Parks" should be a much smaller font than "Orlando Realty & Property Management" and should be in red (same red as at http://www.kw.com).
- Sometimes we would have this logo / our company name on a white sheet of paper that we would send our clients. Other times on a 24"x36" real estate sign. On that sign too would be our website and phone number). Banners, on our website.
- Eye catching but yet professional.

This girl was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She shared a dormitory with Ginny Wealsey.
Prior to Hogwarts
Born around 1981 in Ireland or Great Britain, this witch discovered her magical powers sometime in her youth. She later received a wand as well as various magical supplies such as a telescope, some brass scales and phials of some material[2]
Sorting and early years
She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, likely beginning in 1992, and was Sorted into Gryffindor House.
Fourth year
In her fourth year at Hogwarts, she was awoken one morning a day or two after the first trip to Hogsmeade of the 1995-1996 school year by Ron Weasley attempting to enter the Gryffindor Girls' Dormitory. However, because the staircase had been bewitched to become a slide when a boy tried to climb them, it made a loud noise alerting her and her friend to his presence.
Notes and references
- ↑ The girl was in her fourth year in 1995, implying she was most likely Sorted in 1992, and thus born between late 1980 - early 1981, unless she was in a repeat year.
- ↑ As seen on Pottermore, all students attending Hogwarts need brass scales, a telescope and glass or crystal phials; as she attended Hogwarts she hence needed these utensils.

Can CyberInsurance Shore Up Data Insecurity?
Baker Hostetler partner Judy Selby asks, "What do Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Network, Zappos.com, Hannaford Brother Co.'s grocery stores, and South Carolina's Department of Revenue all have in common?"
If you answered serious data breaches involving the personal and financial information of over 100 million users, 24 million customers, and 3.6 million unencrypted Social Security numbers respectively, you get the gold star.
But now that data breaches are rampant — with a Ponemon Institute survey reporting 50 organizations experiencing 72 cyberattacks per week — not to mention the compliance issues these attacks raise with federal laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, what are corporate entities expected to do about it?
Selby suggests some of the issues raised by cyberattacks can be met by the aptly named "cyberinsurance." While some may see hype and scareware in this growing line of coverage, Selby lists some of the benefits of cyberinsurance policies, which can range from covering violations of privacy laws that includes paying fines to "cyber-extortion," or meeting the expenses of a threat to disrupt a company's (or law firm's or government agency's) computer systems. Coverage is also available for threats to or attacks on a policyholder's reputation.
Another area covered under the cyberinsurance umbrella is cloud computing, since, as Selby writes, "Cloud customers may not be able to contractually transfer the risk of data breaches to the provider." Some might argue that if a cloud provider doesn't have its own policy in place for cyberattacks, don't sign the contract and seek out a safer cloud. Others might counter you should find coverage where you can.

A few weeks back, my colleague suggested going to I-City in Shah Alam for some night shooting. Apparently, the place is decorated with colourful LED lights which makes the whole area illuminated with colours at night.
Located near to Padang Jawa, the place isn't hard to find. Just drive along Federal Highway and keep a lookout for the directional sign.
Once we were there, my first impression was "Wow… This place is really colourful!"
It was quite impressive especially with big tall colourful trees surrounding the whole walkway.
However, they are not real trees. Instead, it is made from plastics with LED lights attached to it.
But it was not easy to take pictures there. Maybe my poor photographing skills make most of pictures look bland. In the end, I came up with the idea of doing some creative shots instead. I turn down my shutter speed and took some interesting abstract shots.

Deng leads Bulls over Mavericks 101-78
Send a link to a friend
[November 29, 2012]
(AP) -- Luol Deng had 22 points and six rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls over the Dallas Mavericks 101-78 on Wednesday night.
Five Chicago players scored at least 11 points to help the Bulls (7-7) beat the Mavericks for the fourth straight time.
Nate Robinson came off the bench and added 14 points and six assists for Chicago, and fellow reserve Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 13, including 9-of-10 shooting from the free throw line.
Joakim Noah chipped in 13 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three blocks as Chicago avoided its first three-game losing streak at the United Center since dropping five straight from March 1-19, 2010.
Shawn Marion scored 18 points for Dallas, which shot just 35 percent to lose for the eighth time in its last 11 games.
The Mavs (7-9), who had won 21 of its last 27 overall against Chicago, dropped to 2-6 on the road.
Both teams were coming off difficult losses. Chicago blew a 27-point third-quarter lead in a 93-92 loss to Milwaukee on Monday, while the Mavericks lost 100-98 at Philadelphia on Tuesday when O.J. Mayo missed a pair of free throws with 2.7 seconds left in the game. The Bulls had a 78-51 lead in Monday's loss before the Bucks broke off a game-changing 31-4 run.
Dallas closed within six with 2:30 to go in the third Wednesday but after a timeout, Deng buried a 3-pointer and Robinson scored on a drive to give Chicago its biggest lead, 77-56.
The Bulls staved off another round of drama in the fourth, pushing the lead to as many as 29 and never fewer than 17.
The crowd roared to life in the closing minutes as Chicago neared 100 points, meaning a free sandwich for everyone in attendance. Nazr Mohammed's dunk did the trick, eliciting a huge roar from the remaining fans.
[to top of second column]
The Bulls closed the first quarter with a 9-2 run and led by a point even though Dallas shot 55 percent from the field. Deng scored 12 points in the period, while Dominique Jones racked up six points and three assists for the Mavericks.
Chicago's reserves keyed a second-quarter spurt to open up the game. After Rodrigue Beaubois' 3 cut the lead to 31-28, Chicago went on a 13-0 run and outscored Dallas 18-2 over the next 4:40.
Robinson keyed the spree with 10 points and four assists in the period. The Bulls outscored the Mavericks 16-4 from the line in the first half, getting whistled for just four fouls to Dallas' 13. Chicago led by as many as 19 in the quarter and was up 58-42 at the break, led by Deng's 14 points. Marion led Dallas with 12 points.
Dallas leading scorer Mayo was held to a season-low four points on 2-for-9 shooting. He entered the game averaging 20.8 points and had scored in double digits in each of the Mavs' first 15 games.
NOTES: Mavericks G Darren Collison was inactive because of a sprained right middle finger. The point guard has struggled recently in his first season with Dallas, shooting 35 percent over his last seven games and averaging 3.0 turnovers per contest. Collison started 14 of Dallas' first 15 games, coming off the bench for the first time this season in Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been replaced in the starting lineup by third-year point guard Dominique Jones. ... Both teams took the floor with its best players still rehabbing from knee surgery. Neither Chicago's Derrick Rose (left knee) nor Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki (right knee), both former NBA MVPs, were at the game. . Mayo is averaging 24.3 points on 52-percent shooting at home, but just 15.3 points on 40.6 percent shooting on the road.

Rockets send Asik to Pels, prepare for LeBron run
The Rockets took the first big step toward making a run at James by agreeing to trade Omer Asik and cash considerations to the New Orleans Pelicans for a protected future first-round draft pick, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The person requested anonymity because the deal cannot be completed until July due to rules in the collective bargaining agreement and salary cap issues.
James informed the Miami Heat earlier this week that he is opting out of his contract and will become a free agent when the new league year begins on July 1. Carmelo Anthony did the same with the New York Knicks, meaning two of the most dynamic players in the league are available in the same summer.
Morey, whose Rockets were eliminated by the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs this season, wants to bring a third star to Houston to team with James Harden and Dwight Howard. To do that, Morey has to free up cap room by trading Asik, a disgruntled big man who requested a trade last season after Howard took his starting spot, and point guard Jeremy Lin to give him about $19 million to throw at James.
Many across the league expect James to remain in Miami, where Pat Riley is trying to retool a roster that won two championships and made four straight NBA Finals but was beaten decisively in five games by the San Antonio Spurs to end this season.
But Morey can offer James a younger roster with two supporting cast members who are much closer to their primes than Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
If they swing and miss on James, Morey is expected to turn his attention to Anthony, perhaps the game's best pure scorer. He could also look at trading for Minnesota All-Star Kevin Love, who can opt out of his contract next summer and has told the Timberwolves that he will not sign a long-term contract with the team.
If anyone wondered about Morey's willingness to go big again this summer after winning the Dwight Howard sweepstakes last year and trading for Harden in 2012, he answered that emphatically on less than 24 hours before the NBA draft was scheduled to be held on Thursday night. The Rockets also avoid having to pay Asik a $15 million balloon payment in the final year of his contract, but it will count just over $8.3 million against the Pelicans' cap next season.
But the Rockets aren't the only potential winners in this deal.
Getting Asik is a significant move for the Pelicans, who got one of the league's best interior defenders to pair with rising star Anthony Davis.
Asik only averaged just over 20 minutes per game in 48 games last season. But his unhappiness with his situation behind Howard and a few nagging injuries certainly played large roles in his relative lack of production. He averaged 5.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and shot 53 percent from the field last season. But in a starting role the previous season, Asik averaged 10.1 points, 11.7 boards and 1.1 blocks in all 82 games.
Asik will have a much more prominent role in New Orleans next season, and his presence should allow the super-athletic, ultra-instinctual Davis even more freedom to roam on the defensive end and create havoc for opposing pick-and-roll tandems.
New Orleans has missed the playoffs for three straight seasons, and GM Dell Demps didn't hesitate to give up a first-round pick to acquire a big building block that will make life easier for Davis and help the Pelicans try to make a jump in the powerful Western Conference.

Long before Brittney Griner was swatting away shots for top-ranked Baylor, there was another 6-foot-8 women's college player getting blocks at a record pace.
Anne Donovan was a dominating center for Old Dominion three decades ago with 801 blocks, more than Griner's NCAA-recognized record for men or women of 736 - and counting.
That was in a much different era of women's basketball.
"It's so funny. Every time they post her shot block record I get a lot of phone calls," said Donovan, who averaged. 5.9 blocks in her 136 career games. "The AIAW is a whole lot different than the NCAA today."
Donovan was part of the Lady Monarchs' AIAW national title as a freshman in 1980, before they finished third in that tournament the next year. She played 73 games under the AIWA classification, and 63 more after that including the first two NCAA tournaments, with a Final Four appearance as the host team during Donovan's senior season.
Baylor has already been to the NCAA Final Four twice in Griner's career. The defending national champion Lady Bears (32-1) will surely be the No. 1 overall seed again in the NCAA tournament for her senior season, and are set to host first- and second-round games starting March 24.
A chance for Griner to add a few more blocks, some more points and rebounds, and maybe even another dunk or two.
With no more than six games left, Griner is 65 blocks short of Donovan's mark. Any chance of matching her?
"I don't know about that. Maybe. Probably not," Griner said. "I'd have to do some crazy stuff."
Griner would have to double her career average of 5.1 blocks per game in the NCAA tournament, assuming the Lady Bears got to the national title game.
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey and Donovan were teammates on the U.S. Olympic team that won the gold medal in 1984, a year after their college teams faced each other in an NCAA national semifinal game - Old Dominion lost to Louisiana Tech and Mulkey, then a pigtailed point guard.
"They're both tall. That's the comparison," Mulkey said of her current star player and former Olympic teammate. "Brittney is just so athletic going up and down the floor. Anne was one of the tallest and most talented players during her era, when we played in the `80s. ... But I don't know that you can compare the two. Other than height, their games were not really, I would say, alike."
Donovan, who is leaving Seton Hall after three years as the women's coach to return to the WNBA as coach of the Connecticut Sun, certainly agrees.
"She's going to be the No. 1 pick in the draft. She's super talented and it's not just about the blocks with her," Donovan said with a smile adding, "I can tell you I never had a dunk in the game."
Along with all those blocks, Griner has 14 career dunks. To put that in perspective, the six other women who have dunked in an NCAA game had a combined 15 dunks.
In her last regular-season home game, Griner had a dunk along with her Big 12 single-game record 50 points. Donovan's career high was also 50 points.
Griner is the Big 12's career scoring leader with 3,203 points (22.1 per game), though that is actually second in Baylor history behind the 3,861 that Suzie Snider Eppers had from 1973-77, again in the AIAW era. Griner is second on the NCAA scoring list, 190 short of mark held by Jackie Stiles of Missouri State.
Still, the blocks are what excite Griner.
"Even when I first started playing, that was the case," said Griner, who didn't start playing organized basketball until she was in ninth grade. "I love blocked shots. ... Definitely, that's the one (record) I care about the most."
She got her 664th block Jan. 26 against Oklahoma, surpassing the NCAA record that had been held by Louella Tomlinson for St. Mary's in California from 2007-11.
When asked, Mulkey said there is no way to quantify the difference between the blocks by Griner and Donovan.
"It's like comparing your children, you can't really," Mulkey said. "Just different rules, different era. I don't know how you can. ... I was part of the AIAW myself, so I'm sensitive to that era as well, and I recognize that."
Well, what about when they were still playing, did Mulkey ever have a shot blocked by Donovan?
"I don't know. I have no idea. I can't remember that far back," Mulkey said. "I was probably smart enough not to shoot it around her."

As a former scribe on "Dexter" and the screenwriter of all of the "Twilight" films, Melissa Rosenberg has been bloody successful – and she's keeping consistent with the crimson color for her next project, ABC's "Red Widow."
What was it about the premise that got its hooks into you and made you say, this is something I want to do?
Primarily, the lead character, the Red Widow played by Radha Mitchell, is so rich. It's like going from a soccer mom to finding these parts of yourself, delving into the criminal world and realizing that you're actually pretty good. You're a moral person in an immoral world, and everything is driven by protecting your kids. That to me, is a really interesting character, very flawed character, making some super questionable decisions. She's bringing drugs into the country. She's running guns. You don't do that on network TV a lot. You don't see, or you haven't seen it in the past.
You see it on cable with characters like Tony Soprano, or Dexter, or Claire Danes' character in 'Homeland.' You're allowed to see flawed female characters, only recently with Edie Falco and Claire Danes. But on network TV, unless you're doing comedy, you have to be the noble one or the Madonna or whore, one or the other. This is a very dark character. It's a very complex character. First and foremost, a loving, devoted mother. And then everything else around it is just her trying to figure her way through this extremely dangerous situation.
Have you talked to any people who exist in the real world of organized crime and Russian mob families that you're depicting here?
We have our go-to man, our consultant, Jeff Eiveson, who's a former FBI agent, and he actually headed up the bureau in San Francisco that was working on the Russian mob – and that is our world, San Francisco Russian mob. So we're constantly talking to him, doing a lot of research also. But really, the main focus is not the Russian mob. This is not a gangster series. It's a family drama ... in the same way that 'The Sopranos' was a family story. It wasn't a mob story necessarily. It just happened to be mobsters in them.
You've said you want to see Radha Mitchell earn an Emmy nomination for this role. How hard is it out of the gate to really get to know everything an actress like her is capable of so you can get it on the screen?
Well, after my 'Twilight' experience, is there any limitation? Come on! I dream really big, and 'Twilight' was beyond even my dreams. And 'Red Widow' is even beyond that. To say my goal is to get Radha an Emmy nomination, it's not so much about getting the literal Emmy nomination. I'm just trying to write an interesting and compelling a character. I want the writing to be as high quality as any cable show. Network shows have been so disregarded in the awards arena, in part with good reason: cable's doing more interesting stuff, for the most part with a few great exceptions. So I am thinking about this from the beginning as a cable show.
U.S. & World
Are they giving you that smaller eight-episode order so that you can add the biggest bang to it?
It's all about the small episode order. Time equals quality writing, and there's no two ways about that. I mean, there are a lot of show runners who think, 'oh, last minute inspiration.' I don't believe that for a second. Have that inspiration, and spend two weeks writing that scene. That scene's going to be better. So I'm all about the time. If you look at 'Twilight' from beginning to end, the first original 'Twilight,' I had like five weeks to write that script. There are a lot of things about it I would do differently now. These other movies I had months to work on, really working them over and over and over, and it just gets better. So I think that's one of the issues for network television is, when you're trying to do 22, 23 episodes in the season, you're going to show up with an evil twin by Episode 18 unless it's a cop or medical drama where you have a case of the week.
"Red Widow" debuts Sunday, Mar. 3 on ABC.

5 Active Ways to Deal With a Lazy Co-Worker
Life at work can be difficult enough without having to deal with a coworker who isn't pulling his weight. This person can do a lot of damage to workplace morale, not to mention the team's overall success. You don't have to just suffer in silence, though. There are ways you can deal with a lazy co-worker, and none of them involve you running screaming from the building.
Your office is probably filled with all types of people. Having a variety of personalities on a team can be great for keeping ideas fresh and providing a superior product by playing to everyone's strengths. But if even one of the personality types on your team can be described as "lazy," everyone suffers. Here are five ways you can make sure you and everyone else around you isn't dragged down by a lazy co-worker:
Stay Focused
First and foremost, you need to stay focused. Don't spend all day feeling angry and bitter that the guy next to you is getting away with posting desk photos on Facebook or taking the world's longest lunch. Worrying about how unfair it is won't solve the problem and it won't get your work done. Besides, becoming the hostile co-worker will make you just as undesirable as the lazy co-worker. Also, don't let him suck you into his vortex of procrastination and work avoidance. Keep doing your job to the best of your ability and find constructive ways to deal with your sluggish colleague. This will help you and your team.
Stay Successful
The next thing you need to do is not let your lazy co-worker affect your success. This means, if the lack of work product on his part is getting in the way of you meeting deadlines and successfully completing your tasks, it's time to speak up and confront the issue. Also, you can't let your work suffer by taking on his work to make sure everything is getting done. If you are silently picking up slack, your own work will suffer, as well as your morale while you get more and more stressed out about the situation. The last thing you should do is another person's job.
Communicate Constructively
If a co-worker's lack of motivation and limited results are getting in the way of your job or your team's success, you need to confront the issue. First, try communicating with your co-worker to let him know how his laziness is affecting everyone else. Make sure you approach this in a polite and supportive way without going on the attack or making it personal. If that doesn't help, or if you're not comfortable confronting your colleague, you need to speak with your boss. But be careful that you don't seem like a tattletale. You should only bring this issue up to your boss if it's affecting project deadlines or work you take part in. If it doesn't have an effect on your job, it's not your business. Again, keep the conversation polite and focused on making sure your team and company are successful.
Be Specific
When confronting the issue of a lazy co-worker, either with the colleague herself or with your boss, be specific. Use evidence to show her or your boss how the lack of work has delayed projects or caused lost revenue. Don't focus on detailed specifics of when your colleague was lazy, as keeping track of his will make you seem like a busybody who isn't focusing on your own work. But if you have specific examples of how his slow methods of getting things done have caused issues will help him and your boss understand exactly how big a problem this is.
Be Patient
Finally, when you have a co-worker who you think is being lazy or shirking his duties, be patient. If you're remaining focused on your own work, you're already halfway there. But, remember, when you confront the issue, you don't know what's going on with this person. You have no idea what's on his mind or why he may not be delivering at work. You have to listen to his side of the story and keep an open mind about why he isn't working at his best level. You may even be able to help. Also, if you bring the issue to your boss, coming across as a patient and supportive team member will make you look much better than if you come in with guns blazing and a negative attitude.

Travel Guide
Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain in the world © Tahsin Anwar Ali
Strategically situated between India, China, Afghanistan, and Iran, Pakistan follows the Indus River down from the spectacular mountain ranges in the north (which include the world's second highest peak, K2) to the Arabian Sea. The river passes through the lush provinces of Punjab and Sindh in the east and south. The southwest of Pakistan consists of the arid plateau of Baluchistan. The major cities of Karachi, the capital Islamabad, Lahore, and Rawalpindi are all situated in the lowlands of the Indus valley.
The nation of Pakistan itself may be relatively new, but the Indus region has hosted civilisation for thousands of years and the country has a rich culture and fascinating history from Alexander the Great to the heyday of the Silk Route, with the lucrative trade between China, India and the Roman empire, and rivalries between Hindu and Islamic dynasties and later the British Empire.
Life in the bustling southern cities is a mix of ancient tradition and modern technology, where shoppers haggle in colourful bazaars and craftsmen ply their trade, while others tuck into hot and spicy treats at street restaurants, or take their ease at teahouses.
Pakistan is largely overlooked as a travel destination due to valid safety concerns, but those brave enough to explore its cities and landscapes will be rewarded with unforgettable sights and experiences.

Looking for a little help with this task, I came up with a plan. Our Pete the Cat's Shoe Tying Club has been so successful this year (I haven't tied a shoe since November!) because the kids
Like the shoe tying club, the kids are practicing at home and when they're ready, they try to read me all of their words. If they know them all, they become an official member of the Popcorn Words Club. Woohoo! They get an official membership badge, a certificate with their name gets added to the display on the wall, and their favorite part - they get a bag of microwave popcorn to share with their family to thank them for their help.
!" when someone doesn't quite make it. It's really pretty adorable.
If you'd like to start a club in your classroom, you can download all of the materials by clicking the link under the picture. Included in the packet are a parent letter explaining the club, membership badges, a poster and certificates to hang on the wall and labels to put on the bags of microwave popcorn (I use the mini 100 calorie bags).
I'd love a comment if you download the kit and you're going to give it a try. I'd also love to hear how many sight words other kindergarten teachers are tackling this year. Have a great night!

Most of the folks I know wish they had more time to read—or could make more time.
We all know reading's good for us—like broccoli—and some even enjoy it. Those of us who are parents often hear about the importance of reading aloud to our children: how just twenty minutes a day can encourage them to love reading themselves (one of the biggest predictors of academic success). And current research suggests that staying intellectually active—particularly in linguistically complex ways—can help stave off Alzheimer's.
But it's official: fewer than half of us read literature, and rates are declining. A 2004 report from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) based on Census Bureau information from 2002 indicates that during the course of a year, just 46.7% of U.S. adults had read any fiction, poetry, or plays. Only 56.6% had voluntarily read a book of any sort—including how-to manuals.
Why does this matter? For one thing, reading enriches our individual lives, our mental worlds. But literary reading also correlates strongly to various forms of civic participation such as volunteer work, visiting museums, and attending public sporting events. Readers tend to be more involved citizens.
As NEA Chairman Dana Gioia points out, "Reading develops a capacity for focused attention and imaginative growth that enriches both private and public life." Not only a private pleasure, reading encourages us to broaden our involvement as members of a shared community. "To lose this human capacity—and all the diverse benefits it fosters," argues Gioia, "impoverishes both cultural and civic life."
Our community has moved in a terrific direction by making a commitment to what will soon be an outstanding new library. At a time when other libraries around the country have shut down due to lack of support, our gorgeous building—placed front and center on our main thoroughfare—will serve as a community center for research, intellectual inquiry, and reading for pleasure, as well as other kinds of civic activities.
Why not jump-start your own reading and community involvement?
Wabash is again offering its course Cultures and Traditions (C&T) to the community, a faculty-led opportunity to read and discuss great texts in the company of your friends and neighbors.
Described by former participants as "rewarding and enjoyable," an "excellent town-gown program" that is "intellectually stimulating for the Crawfordsville community," C&T for Crawfordsville has been taken by retirees, stay-at-home parents, employed adults from all walks of life, and even the occasional high school student seeking extra enrichment. Family members and best friends have signed up together.
It's completely free: even the textbooks are provided. Discussions are led in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere by three experienced Wabash professors who volunteer their time because they care about Crawfordsville and believe in education and civic involvement. Although the curriculum is identical to the one at Wabash, it's a not-for-credit opportunity, so there are no exams and no papers to write: just reading and discussion.
"I am astounded that we did not have to pay anything for this course," wrote one participant, adding, "It was too good an opportunity to pass up."
The intellectual benefits are many. "It stimulated my thinking," wrote one retiree. Another participant agreed: "I loved the chance to become familiar with these classic texts—something I would not have done on my own. Also, many times when I read something, I felt I didn't get too much understanding—but after the professor led discussion, a whole new understanding opened up."
It has social and civic benefits, too. "It was fun to get to know some other adults better whom I hadn't known before and to hear the different thoughts we brought to the table based on our diverse ages and experiences," wrote one woman who took the course.
Another participant agreed that "the sharing of knowledge . . . between people not previously known and from diverse backgrounds," was helpful in seeing the readings "from several perspectives. And that's very good."
The spring semester focuses on the Industrial Revolution, historical and contemporary Mexico, Mexicans in the U.S., and the African-American experience. We'll read excerpts from historical and philosophical texts as well as literary classics like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, William Blake's poems, and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.
These readings invite us more deeply into the world, delivering us to times and places different from our own but populated by humans akin to ourselves, facing problems that resemble our own—violence, loss, poverty, injustice, arrogance, greed, tragedy—and celebrating beauty, love, nature, kindness, friendship, and the nobility of struggle in hard circumstances.
They're still relevant today. "There have been several things that just pop up in everyday life that went along well with the readings," one participant commented. Another wrote, "It is amazing how the subjects we discussed were, many times, current to what is going on in the world today."
Another participant noted, "After once reading an author or hearing about a character, I tended to notice it in many places—when before it would have gone unnoticed, or some classic reference would not have been understood."
"The urgent need for mankind to help one another become kind men," concluded one retiree, "always comes to the fore in free-thinking study. We can see from these C&T sessions that this need is universal and timeless."
This new year, why not give yourself the gift of motivation?
C&T for Crawfordsville classes will be held from 5:20 to 6:10 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, beginning January 12 and ending April 29 (with a week off in March for spring break). On-campus parking within a short walking distance will be available, and occasional 9:00 a.m. lectures are open to participants but not required.
The class will be capped at 15 registrants; first come, first served. To register or ask questions, contact coordinator Debbie Bartelt at 361-6290 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

When it comes to priming ballerinas, 30A Ballet Studio founder and instructor Allyson Raymond says it's all about tradition.
"What I offer is a more traditional dance school," she said. "I do not believe in competition like you see on television; that's not what it's all about. I concentrate on technique."
When Raymond moved to Seagrove with her husband Robert and their son Lars, she was excited to live a quieter life by the beach in comparison to their metropolitan life in Atlanta. The only problem was that Raymond, who has had a long career dancing in professional ballet companies as well as teaching at the Atlanta Ballet for 19 years, found that there was no place for her to continue working.
"I feel that some of the art programs offered to the children in the area are lacking," she said.
Wanting to fulfill an unmet need, Raymond opened the 30A Ballet Studio in October 2011 and last March re-opened the studio in its current location in Inlet Beach.
"I wanted to provide a more serious dance education," she said. "I pass on a lot of ballet etiquette as well as the history. There is so much heritage in proper dance."
30A Ballet's building itself is a proper representation of a professional ballet studio. Raymond made sure to have a dressing room available for students coming straight from school and the dance studio is equipped with the same sprung dance flooring that is used in professional companies.
"The teenaged students are pushing for a mini fridge and hot tub," she said with a laugh.
Raymond, with the help of one other instructor, Lyndsi Stevens, teaches classes for any level dancer from age three to adult.
Children who practice ballet at a young age improve their mind and body, Raymond explained. Not only are they stretching and strengthening their muscles, but they're also learning discipline and focus. The same can be said for adults.
"Ballet is good for joints, especially for adults with arthritis," Raymond said. "It's great for your figure and a lot more fun than the treadmill.�
30A Ballet also hosts jazz classes, which are taught by Stevens. Although Raymond requires jazz dance hopefuls to take a ballet class first.
"It provides a good, classical foundation," she explained.
Through her years as a ballet instructor, Raymond has remained close with some of her students, following them through school, marriage and motherhood.
Raymond even keeps in touch with her past ballet instructors and uses some of their techniques in her class like Abigail the ballet fairy, a fictitious fairy that lives in a pink birdhouse in the studio. Abigail watches over the students � young or old � to make sure they are behaving.
"Abigail came to me as a child from one of my ballet teachers, Mrs. Roberts, who is now in her 90s," Raymond said. "I called her up and asked for permission to use Abigail in my own classes."
With her young students, Raymond also instills the importance of good nutrition, making it a point to have fruit and veggie time during class.
Every year, Raymond looks forward to meeting her new students and watching her continuing students grow as dancers. In May, students get to showcase their hard work in an end-of-the-year recital.
"I love to see their progress and improvements � it's amazing," she said.
Raymond caught the dance bug at a young age. She originally took ballet lessons to accompany a childhood friend.
"She was pitifully shy and was afraid to go by herself," she recalled. "As it turns out Anne Marie lasted only a couple of months and I never stopped. Ballet got into my soul."
As 30A Ballet Studio looks to a second year in business, Raymond doesn't plan on expanding the business too far, she did move to Seagrove for a slower-paced life after all.
"I'd like to keep it small and keep that personal attention," she said.
Want to join? For more information on 30A Ballet, visit www.facebook.com/30aBallet or call 399-0514. Adult Ballet classes begin Oct. 1. Sign up today. Don't miss dancers with the 30A Ballet Company at the Flutterby Arts Festival in Rosemary Beach this November.

This is best paired with a tall glass of Coke with lots of ice. Yum! One of the favourite snacks of Pinoys is this deep-fried peanut aka adobong mani. Why it's called adobo, with nary a sight of vinegar nor soy sauce, I do not know. I just go with the flow or rather the flavour and do not attempt to explain things away.
I used to watch my more enterprising younger sister make this when she was still in elementary school. She then proceeds to package it into small plastic bags and sell it via a corner store. Me and the rest of our siblings? We gamely volunteered to pack it for her with the eye of course of sneaking every other spoonful in our mouths. You can probably guess that my sister's business didn't exactly flourish. Hahaha.
The thing with deep frying the peanuts is once it reaches the cooked stage it can very quickly burn in a matter of seconds. So it is imperative to immediately remove all of the peanuts from the deep fryer once you think it's cooked otherwise you will have a mix of crunchy well cooked ones and some burned ones. Not nice at all.
My sister did not have any deep fryer thermometer nor use a timer when she was cooking this. All she had for indicator was the garlic - if it turned to golden crispy and the peanuts are of the right colour then it is done. You can use that as a guide although timing it and pre-heating the cooking oil to the right temperature would help a lot from guesswork.
Adobong Mani
Deep Fried Red-Skinned Peanuts
dried red-skinned peanuts
garlic cloves - smashed skin-on
cooking oil
fine salt
- Pour some cooking oil into a saucepan to reach at least 1/2-inch up the side. Heat until it reaches 180°C/350°F in temperature (or if a grain of rice dropped in it pops right back up and starts cooking; or if you stick the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick in it and it starts to bubble up around the wood then it is ready).
- Deep fry the garlic and peanuts in batches making sure that the peanuts are submerged in oil. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes for peanuts with small kernels and 4 - 5 minutes for big kernels. Alternatively, fry until the whole garlic (not just the edges) turns golden brown and crispy.
- Set a metal sieve or strainer on a deep bowl big enough to fit all the oil in your saucepan. Once the peanuts are cooked, carefully pour the whole lot in the strainer making sure that the bowl will catch the hot oil. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Add fine salt to taste.
- Pour back the oil in the saucepan, re-heat to 180°C, and repeat for the next batch.

The Harry Potter Wiki's user policy is meant to encourage users to work more on articles, and not spend all of their time on customising their userpages as well as informing users of their responsibilities.
User pages
Your user page should not your primary contribution to this wiki.
However, user pages do serve a useful purpose, and regular users are encouraged to create a userpage which gives some information about themselves, and helps organise their contributions to the Harry Potter Wiki. For example, they may wish list their collection of Harry Potter references, advertise contributions they are proud of, or list articles they intend to work on. They may also include their user name on other wikis or Harry Potter fan sites, link to a personal page on another site, list the languages they speak, or talk about their favourite Harry Potter characters. For more information on what userpages can be used for, see Wikipedia:User page.
Many users also enjoy writing about their imaginary persona in the Harry Potter universe. This is neither encouraged nor discouraged. However, Harry Potter Wiki users who work exclusively on their fan fiction, and do not wish to contribute significantly to any articles, are strongly encouraged to use the Harry Potter Fanon Wiki instead. Users who work exclusively on user page content unrelated to Harry Potter or the Harry Potter Wiki should, likewise, find somewhere else to host their webpages. The Harry Potter Wiki doesn't accept fanon for a full article per the canon policy.
Some users also like to list their contributions on their user pages. This is fine for major edits, like rewriting the majority of an article, but is discouraged for minor things, as it may cause a user to violate the editing policy.
Thus, we discourage users from working primarily on user pages. All users and their user pages must comply with the following rules:
Rules for user page use
User pages in violation of the following policies will be edited or deleted in order to comply with these policies. Users repeatedly in violation of these rules may be blocked according to the blocking policy's rules for registered users who post fanon.
- User page fan fiction must be restricted to either the main user page or a single subpage. This does not mean a user can put fanon on both a user page and a subpage, or on a series of subpages. Users who want to make more than one fan fiction page are encouraged to use the Harry Potter Fanon Wiki instead.
- Users violating the policy on user page fan fiction will be reminded of the relevant sections of this document, and of the existence of the fanon wiki.
- User pages and images within must be "safe for work": no content which is unsuitable for a family audience or would be likely to disturb or offend other users. Any illegal or inappropriate content or links to such material is forbidden.
- User subpages not containing fan fiction may be kept, subject to the user image policy and some usefulness to the project
- Specifically allowed are:
- Personal sandbox
- To do list
- Contributions page
- Toolbox (maintenance tasks, useful templates, etc.)
- Signature page
- Specifically allowed are:
- User subpages unrelated to Harry Potter or the Harry Potter Wiki are not allowed.
- Specifically not allowed include:
- Weblogs
- Guestbooks
- Likewise, a guestbook section or a weblog should not be put on a user's main page.
- Specifically not allowed include:
- User pages must not be put in categories which would cause them to be mistaken for "real" articles. Likewise, {{Title}} must not be used to make the userpage appear to be a "real" article.
- User's main page may be put in any user category (Cat:Users)
- Secondary accounts set up primarily in order to have a second user page are disallowed, according to the Sock puppetry policy page.
- If a user wishes to change his or her name, their old pages must be either moved to subpages of the new user name's page, or deleted. The original user page may be kept, if content is restricted to a note redirecting the reader to the new user name.
User talk page policy
- See also: Harry Potter Wiki:Talk Page Policy
Users may archive their talk pages when they grow too unwieldy to scroll through (this means at least a few screens long). If a user wishes to archive their talk page they should move it to a subpage of their talk page. A link to the archive subpages should be placed at the top of the current talk page. The suggested title for an archived talk page [[User talk:<Your username>/Archive #]], where # is a number.
There are two methods for archiving. Which method is used is up to the user's preference.
Method #1
- Create a new article with the title User talk:your user name here/Archive (or Archive 1, Archive 2, etc.)
- Cut whatever text you want to archive from your talk page, paste it in the new article and save.
- Add a link to the new Archive at the top of your talk page.
- This method will keep the talk page's History in the "main" talk page.
Method #2
- Move your current talk page to User talk:your user name here/Archive (or Archive 1, Archive 2, etc.)
- Remove the redirect from User talk:your user name here, that should appear once you've made the move.
- Add a link to the new Archive at the top of your talk page.
- This method will move the History from that time period from the "main" talk page to the new Archive.
When editing a talk page, users should respect the talk page's owner in every way possible. Abusive language, threats, etc. will not be tolerated; see no personal attacks for more information. If you feel a user has made a personal attack or in some other way violated your talk page, please contact an administrator.
Comments left on a user's talk page should not be deleted unless they are abusive and/or threatening, and then it is encouraged that the user archive the comment instead of deleting it and bring the comment to the attention of an administrator. Under no circumstances should a user delete a comment (whether they made it or not) on someone else's talk page.
A user may add a header asking users to abide by other rules or ask for a particular formatting to a message. These are to be followed except where they contradict current policy.
User image policy
The Harry Potter Wiki's user image policy is as follows:
- No more than three images should be uploaded which are intended solely for a userpage or customised signature.
- User images must be tagged with the {{user image}} template.
- The total file size of these images must be below 500 kB. It is strongly suggested that none of these images are larger than 100 kB.
- Images being used on actual articles (or in use "officially" somewhere on the Wiki) as well as a user's page are not counted towards the limit of three.
- Images must be "safe for work": no nudity, excessive gore, or other content which is unsuitable for a family audience, or would be likely to disturb or offend other users.
User signature policy
- See also: Harry Potter Wiki:Signatures
A user's signature should provide at least a link to the user's userpage; one to the user's talk page is encouraged, but not required (both of these can be on another wiki if that is preferred). More links can be provided (to link to other wiki's talk pages, etc.) with a limit of five links.
Only one image may be used in a signature, with a limit of 15 pixels high and 100 pixels wide. This image counts towards the user image policy above.
Signatures must use proper HTML (meaning all tags must be closed in the proper order). This is to ensure pages are not broken when signatures are added. See W3C Markup Validation Service to check your signature's HTML.
If you wish to include a signature as a template it must be placed in the User namespace (so for example at User:Yourusername/Sig).

HOUSTON, TX – Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-18 Residency earned an important 1-1 draw against Colorado Rapids Academy on Friday in their final group match at the United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) Finals in Houston, Texas. With the result the U-18 'Caps advance to the championship final against FC Dallas U-18 Academy on Sunday at BBVA Compass Stadium – home of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo.
"I think it was honestly our best performance, even though we didn't get the win," Whitecaps FC U-18 Residency head coach Craig Dalrymple told whitecapsfc.com. "We held possession by a country mile. We weren't as clinical in the final third as we had been the previous games, but I'm pleased that the players held up the ball for long periods of time and generally made the other team work. It was a good performance and I'm very pleased for the lads."
Only requiring a draw to guarantee their place in the final, the Vancouver youngsters buckled down in the first half to keep things scoreless. Colorado's back line did well to fend off talented 'Caps striker Caleb Clarke and despite some good opportunities for both sides, the teams seemed content to round out the first half at 0-0.
Despite the 'Caps best efforts to keep Colorado off the scoresheet, the Rapids would finally open up the scoring in the 63rd minute when striker Idi Camara capitalized on a Whitecaps turnover and hammered a low drive from the top of the 18-yard-box to take the lead.
The 'Caps would come close to leveling things seven minutes later. After taking the time to build a strong attack, Yassin Essa played a brilliant ball in to Carlos Patino who's strike deflected off the post.
But the 'Caps maintained focus and their diligence finally paid off in the 78th minute after some clever passing from Wesley Cain to Ben Fisk and finally Spencer DeBoice who cut inside past a Colorado defender to knock in the equalizer and tie the match 1-1.
The Blue & White youngsters would get another opportunity to seal the deal just moments later, earning a penalty shot after Carlos Marquez was taken down in the box. Marquez would step up to take the shot himself but fired a touch wide of the woodwork. Regardless, the 'Caps held on to the draw ensure their progression.
"The team has really come together as a unit which has been a climax of the season so far," explained Dalrymple. "Now they just need to rest and regenerate then I fully expect them to put in another good performance on Sunday."
Sunday's USSDA championship final sees Whitecaps FC square off with the winner of Group 2, FC Dallas U-18 Academy, who defeated Solar Chelsea SC 3-2 on Friday in their final group match to clinch their spot in the final. The U-18 'Caps final match will be streamed live with links from whitecapsfc.com. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. PT.

Journal Article
Firms as Connected, Temporary Coalitions: Organisational Forms and the Exploitation of Intellectual Capital pp11-20
© Apr 2009 Volume 7 Issue 1, ECKM 2008, Editor: Roy Williams, pp1 - 198
Look inside Download PDF (free)
The paper presents the case for conceptualising firms as 'connected temporary coalitions' that are able to respond to the challenges of and adapt to, changing environments: in particular, to build, exploit and determine the value of Intellectual Capital (human, structural and relational) enabling different trajectories of renewal and growth in the long term. The paper adopts the perspectives of theoretical pluralism to identify distinctive viewpoints regarding the theory of the firm and the dynamic nature of knowledge. The study draws on four areas of theory: (a) the institutionalist ideas of New Regionalism in economic geography — in particular the conceptualisation of firms as temporary, dynamic, place‑ based coalitions; (b) the structural contingency model of organisation theory coupled with ideas from the knowledge based theory of the firm in exploring changes over time in business activity; (c) evolutionary economics and the perspective it offers on emergent developments, change and time; and (d) knowledge management thinking, and the perspective it provides on intellectual capital and its contribution to firm dynamics, drawing on ideas on social interaction, social practices, social contexts, and the impacts of power and control. The paper extends our understanding of the processes and dynamics operating in and around temporary coalitions, the shifting and reconfiguring of knowledge assets and the role of dynamic capabilities. In addition, the paper challenges earlier concepts of intellectual capital as being embedded in business clusters. The paper argues that, collectively, the coalitions of people that comprise firms deploy their knowledge assets through different forms of organisational arrangement to achieve temporary equilibrium in order to commercialise knowledge, achieve renewal and generate growth. This perspective on the firm has significant policy implications.

New: 2012 Election in Berkeley: Student Votes Help Defeat Measure S
Measure S, which would have prohibited sitting on sidewalks in Berkeley's Commercial Districts from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., was the hottest issue on this year's presidential election ballot in Berkeley.
The measure failed with 25,523 voters, 47.7%, voting Yes, and 27,981 or 52.3% voting No. More people cast votes pro or con S than cast votes for a mayoral candidate. 88.4% of the 60,559 ballots cast in Berkeley contained votes on the measure, a high percentage for a Berkeley ballot measure.
UC Students played a major role in defeating the measure. In thirteen near-campus precincts (consolidated down to seven in this year's election), 70% voted against the measure, and a bit over half the citywide margin of defeat came from these precincts.
Measure S Anti-Sitting
Vote Margin for No
|District 1
|District 2
|District 3
|District 4
|District 5
|District 6
|District 7
|District 8
| 13 student
Thousands more students voted in other precincts with more of a mix of non-student voters.
These precincts include all but one of UC's dormitories in Berkeley, and include student coops on the Northside and southside of Campus, and fraternities and sororities, along with some apartment buildings north of Dwight Way largely occupied by students.
While students who vote often don't vote the whole ballot, only 21% of the voters in the thirteen student precincts failed to vote on Measure S. By contrast 40% of these voters didn't vote on Measure T, the West Berkeley rezoning measure.
While students played a major role in Measure S's defeat, it should be noted that geographically oppostion to the measure was very broad: the measure failed in 68 of the 101 precincts reporting this year, losing throughout the flatlands south of Cedar Street.
Measure S failed in every precinct near the commercial streets where sitting on the sidewalk is most prevalent. Voters in every precinct bordering Telegraph Avenue and every precinct bordering Shattuck Avenue between Rose Street and the Oakland border voted No.
Measure S got its greatest support from precincts in the Northeast Berkeley hills in District 6 where the measure gained over 60% support in six precincts, and in the hills above Claremont Avenue in District 8 where it got over 70% in two precincts.
In District 8, the student and tenant vote in the northern part of the district largely negated this hills vote. The Measure passed by only 6 votes in District 8.
In addition to Mayor Bates, three councilmembers endorsed Measure S: Laurie Capitelli of District 5; Susan Wengraf of District 6 and Gordon Wozniak of District 8. Their districts were the only districts to favor the measure. In Mayor Bates' precinct in the LeConte neighborhood between Telegraph and Shattuck, 64% vote against the measure.
Measure S was opposed by Max Anderson, who represents District 3 (South Berkeley); by Jesse Arreguin, District 4 (Downtown and Central Berkeley); and by Kriss Worthington, District 7 (Telegraph area). 60% of District 3's residents voted No, as did 57% in District 4 and 63% in student-rich District 7.
Two councilmembers, Linda Maio in District 1 (northwest Berkeley) and Darryl Moore in District 2 (southwest Berkeley) voted to put the measure on the ballot, but did not endorse the measure. District 1 and 2 voters rejected S by 54% and 56% respectively.
The division between "moderate" voters in the hills and "progressive" voters in the rest of the city is nothing new. In the 1994 election Berkeley voters supported Measure O to ban sitting and lying on sidewalks in commercial zones. It passed citywide by a 54% to 46% margin. After passage it was immediately challenged in court and the anti-sitting provisions never took effect.
Measure O also won in Districts 5, 6 and 8 and lost in the city's other districts. But this year, things were different. Support in the hills was weaker than in 1994 and opposition was stronger in West Berkeley and South Berkeley and much stronger this year in Downtown and near campus precincts.
Measure S supporters waged a strong campaign. By election day, the Coalition for Berkeley Civil Sidewalks, Yes on S, had raised $103,213.42, much more than was raised to support or oppose any other measure on this year's ballot. Developers and owners of commercial property, such as Panoramic Interests and Rue-ell Enterprises, provided a majority of the funding for the pro-S campaign. Some of this money went to pay for 3 mailers sent to Berkeley voters.
Opponents of Measure S, by contrast, received only $16,182.66 in contributions according to their October filing. They reported mailing one mailer to voters. Filings by candidates and campaigns can be viewed here on the City's Web site

New: Berkeley's Telegraph Ave. Regains Its Mojo;
Struggling Street Fair On A Roll;
Record Rains Followed By Record Heat
And A Landmark Student Building Reduced To Rubble
It was a wild and bumpy Berkeley Week. Even Bette Davis would be impressed.
First Berkeley watched forlorn Telegraph Avenue fight for its life, then came the rains to wash˙away all hopes. Bad weather haunted the first three Sunday Fests, but that bad weather was typical Bay Area summer chill and fog. Weather so good we didn't know it until we lost it.
Then two days of rain broke rainfall records. Then came the heat. Highs were no more than 5-10 degrees above normal, but the duration of the heat wave set longevity records.
Forth of July (ninth day of hear-wave) just short of 80, as predicted.
Several Bay Area cities opened cooling shelters; health warnings--issued.
Through this Job-like-plagues period Berkeley staggered.
Then members of the Cal Marching band became the symbol of an upward Telegraph trend in a photo by Ted Friedman that was media-published twice. Saxophones raised to the heavens.
And that upward symbol did portend better times the next week as students and vendors trickled back to the Ave.
Despite a spate of gloom-and-doom major media pieces counting Telegraph out, Telegraph Ave. still has cachet. MTV has been filming at Moe's books, reminding old Berkeleyans of the famous Dustin Hoffman shoot at the Caffe Mediterraneum (the Graduate, 1957).
A long line of Kentucky bibliophiles filed into Moe's this week. They come every year to the world-famous store, according to a Moe's staffer.
A tourist bus pulled up on the avenue last week with twenty-five Diablo Valley College students.
An Asian tour group toured the avenue on the 4th.
Except for subsequent bad weather, Telegraph was finding what one pundit called it's [lost] mojo.
A few melted ice-creams and sweaty brows did not reduce a growing flow of pedestrians, more than in the previous four weeks combined. Some of these people are from Southern California, part of a state-wide heat wave, (Death Valley: 127 degrees). Some like it hot.
MEANWHILE A U.C. BERKELEY LANDMARK IS PICKED TO DEATH--BECOMES RUBBLETo photographers who daily shot the picky deconstruction of the student senate and Daily Californian offices (photographers like award-winning Oakland Tribune photographer David Yee, who shot for the Daily Cal in the 80s) the shoot was reminiscent of the Sequoia Apartment Bldg. fire almost two years ago.
The plot was the same. Venerable buildings felled by natural disasters (fire and residual earthquake effects.) Watching these tear-downs is like a movie where you know the ending but can't turn away.
The deconstructed buildings did not crash, but were methodically picked to rubble by a cherry-picking jaw of death.
Great fun for the adolescent mentality, a basic trait of photographers—and voyeurs, too.

Local Community Goes Green "Underground"
COLUMBIA - What is a group of Columbia residents doing that 95 percent of Americans are not?
An intentional community dubbed Terra Nova, which prides itself on ecologically friendly living, found the answer under their feet. Terra Nova uses ground source heating to cover all their heating and cooling needs.
"We can keep the thermostat at any temperature we like year round," Terra Nova member Claire Garden said.
Ground source heating, unlike geothermal heating, does not rely on the Earth's core for heat; instead, it uses groundwater or soil to provide the heating and cooling. The process doesn't just provide heat and air conditioning; it does so efficiently.
"Ground source heat pumps statistically have been documented to probably be the most efficient investment you can make in terms of energy," O2 Geothermal partner Jim Oakley said, who installed ground source heating for his own home.
"Your largest loads in your house for energy usage are heating, air conditioning and heating water and a ground source heat pump can do all those things."
Heat pumps work because heat wants to travel from something that's warm to something that's cold. During installation, a contractor will drill horizontal or vertical loops into the ground. A vertical system, which is used by Garden and Terra Nova, is preferred when there isn't a lot of land to install the loops. The drilling will go 100 to 400 feet deep in a vertical system.
More land is required for workers to install a horizontal system, but it's installed at a shallower depth of five to ten feet and is more cost-effective.
Once installed, the loops are filled with a liquid such as water and ethanol. If the liquid is colder than the surrounding Earth, it will absorb the heat and use it to warm up the home it's serving. The system can be reversed to provide cooling.
Despite upfront costs that may deter potential buyers, ground sourcing heating holds up against the competition.
"A ground source heat pump is far more efficient than either an air heat pump or gas furnace," Garden said.
Even though air pumps are cheaper, they aren't as effective in the winter, according to Oakley. The air pumps have to exert more energy to convert freezing air into to heat while ground source heat pumps work when the Earth has temperatures between 55 to 57 degrees year round.
Using ground source heat pumps can also reduce dependence on gas and electricity that is normally used for heating and cooling. That would be the case for Garden and Terra Nova members, but their electric needs are already covered by their 38 solar panels.
"We're very much dedicated to getting green energy if we can and to being as energy efficient as we can," Garden said.
