Grocery could go in one of 13 sites
The race is on to see who will land more than $1 million in city incentives to develop a long-desired downtown grocery store.
Up to this point, city officials have talked mostly with San Antonio-based H-E-B about building a center-city location. But smaller entrepreneurs are getting into the mix, hoping their plans for bringing a store to an area that's undergoing revitalization will spark some interest at City Hall.
The city plans to start soliciting ideas for a grocery March 1. The process is expected to run 90 days, with responses due June 4.
The City Council could award a $1 million grant and other incentives in September.
"We're in a good position to take the next step," District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal said at a council meeting Wednesday. "What's interesting about this (selection) process is that it's so wide open. So we could get a wild variety of proposals."
During Wednesday's session, council members heard the results of a study — conducted by the consulting firm HR&A Advisors — examining the feasibility of an inner-city grocery store. It concluded that downtown could support a location sized up to 20,000 square feet.
The report also identified 13 potential sites in and around downtown, including properties owned by H-E-B and Spanish-language broadcaster Univision, both located on East César Chávez Boulevard.
HR&A estimates there's about $10 million per year in unmet grocery demand.
But despite the existing demand, the firm pointed out challenges for grocery operators — such as high operating, development and land costs, and limited parking.
The study recommends offering a subsidy of up to $3 million.
Currently, the city has $1 million on the table but could offer other incentives such as city fee waivers, SAWS impact fee waivers and property tax abatement, said Lori Houston, director of the Center City Development Office.
But instead of selecting one operator to support, District 8 Councilman Reed Williams suggested spreading the risk to multiple entrepreneurs. He envisioned a market with a variety of offerings such as a bakery, a butcher area and produce.
"Sometimes we get too encouraged about somebody coming and creating that 'wow' factor," Williams said. "The reality is that we got to get a lot of someones that are willing to risk and then create growth. Because if one fails, then the whole thing doesn't fail."
The study also says the city should give preference to a development that includes residential units and room for other types of retail components.
The report also recommended the grocery operator have a regional presence and sell a wide array of products.
At the top of its list, which included grocers such as Sprouts and Green Fields Markets, was H-E-B.
The city and H-E-B have acknowledged an ongoing discussion about a downtown market. Speculation has centered on a location near the company's Southtown headquarters as a potential site.
While the grocer has studied markets in urban areas around the world, H-E-B has said it has no current plans for an inner-city store here.
H-E-B spokeswoman Dya Campos declined to comment Wednesday on whether the firm would submit a proposal for the $1 million incentive.
La Fiesta, which was named as a potential candidate in the study, probably will pursue the incentive, company Vice President and General Manager Ronnie Catlett has said.
The grocer is interested in leasing space at a future San Antonio Housing Authority development at César Chávez Boulevard and Labor Street.
La Fiesta has talked with SAHA about the venture, but the authority still is crafting its master plan.
Wal-Mart, another company named in the report, had no announcements to make at this time concerning a downtown store, spokesman Daniel Morales said in an email.
And a downtown Trader Joe's store isn't in the company's two-year plan, spokeswoman Alison Mochizuki said.
Apart from the major players named in the report, a handful of area entrepreneurs plan to go after the public money.
Chef Johnny Hernandez, who owns and operates the Frutería and La Gloria restaurants, has said he wants to open a downtown grocery, a venture he's considered for about five years. He envisions a Mexican mercado combined with a traditional American grocery store.
Entrepreneur Josh Levine owns multiple gyms and operates Uncommon Fare, a roughly 900-square-foot market on the bottom floor of the Cevallos Lofts in Southtown. He's looking to open multiple stores in various parts of downtown. The size of his stores could range from 1,000 square feet to 9,000 square feet.
Levine has already talked with city officials about his idea.
He sees the selection process as open. While he realizes more established operators such as H-E-B are more than likely to get the money, he's still going for it.
"I think I have as good a shot as any," he said.

A huge humanitarian crisis is now affecting the majority of South Sudan with close to one million people forced from their homes as they flee violence. These questions and answers on South Sudan are aimed at explaining the crisis.
Why did the conflict happen?
In the past year there have been growing tensions within the government and the ruling SPLM political party.
The failure to address these differences internally within the party contributed to the escalation of tension that led to the violence that erupted on the 15 December 2013 in the capital Juba.
There is also a history of violence between communities in South Sudan that has never been properly addressed. Because there was not adequate reconciliation or healing it has resulted vicious cycles of violence continuing and exacerbating the current conflict.
People engaged in conflict and violence as a means to address their grievances either political or personal.
There is a political opposition group that has taken up arms, led by the former vice president, Dr. Riak Macher. He was part of a group calling for reform within the party in early December.
After one month of fighting on 23 January they signed a ceasefire with the South Sudanese government led by President Salva Kiir. It is hoped that peace talks in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia between the two parties will continue soon. The ceasefire has been followed by further outbreaks of fighting.
Other less organised elements, both groups and individuals have also engaged in fighting and acts of violence. While sometimes aligning themselves or being used by certain players in the conflict, their motivation to participate is more complicated.
Regional players are also involved in the conflict, with Ugandan troops in the country and other countries involving themselves in the meditation process between the two main parties.
How has this affected the people of South Sudan?
Besides the initial fighting in the country's capital Juba; three state capitals (Bor, Malakal and Benitu) have experience fierce fighting. Thousands of people have been killed in the crisis, official numbers are not clear but on 9 January the International Crisis Group estimated over 10,000 had died.
Those who have fled are now either in IDP camps or UN Bases or have left the country. It is now estimated that 3.2 million people are in need of assistance. Humanitarian needs include ensuring those displaced are projected from further violence; have food, shelter, clean water, adequate sanitation, health and psychosocial services.
[Tweet ""Let us refound our nation on a new covenant," urge South Sudan bishops"]
What is the position of the Catholic Church in South Sudan?
The Catholic Bishops of Sudan and South Sudan held an Extraordinary Plenary Assembly of the Sudan Catholic Bishops' Conference in Juba, South Sudan, from 21 to 31 January 2014, and shared a Pastoral Exhortation, entitled "Let us refound our nation on a new covenant".
They stated "South Sudan must never be the same again". There is no longer a "business as usual" approach. Now is the time for our nation to rise from the ashes, but not to take up where the old one left off. Now is the time for a new nation, they said.
They stated they believe the way forward must include: truth and reconciliation, inclusive negotiations, governance and democratic institutions, responsible media, reform of the armed forces, education and building a new South Sudan.
Full Pastoral Exhortation can be found here.
How is Caritas helping?
Caritas agencies have supported the humanitarian needs of the people suffering from the onset of the crisis. Churches have sheltered those fleeing from the violence and Caritas agencies have supported them to aid those displaced from the violence.
Initial assistance has been provided including household items, shelter, food water, sanitation and health services thanks to Caritas South Sudan, the diocesan Caritas offices, congregations, churches and international Caritas agencies in the country; CAFOD, Caritas Switzerland, Cordaid and CRS.
It is the hope that these efforts can be scaled up in the coming months with the support of the Caritas Internationalis Appeal for South Sudan, a three-month rapid response to support those affected by the crisis across the country.
Director of Caritas South Sudan, Gabriel Yai, said, "Our people our suffering and need your help during these difficult times".

human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test detects
antibodies to HIV or the genetic material (DNA or
RNA) of HIV in the blood or another type of sample.
This determines whether an HIV infection is present (HIV-positive). HIV infects
white blood cells called CD4+ cells, which are part of the body's
immune system that help fight infections. HIV can progress to
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
After the original
infection, it takes between 2 weeks and 6 months for antibodies to HIV to
appear in the blood. The period between becoming infected with HIV and the
point at which antibodies to HIV can be detected in the blood is called the
seroconversion or "window" period. During this period,
an HIV-infected person can still spread the disease, even though a test will
not detect any antibodies in his or her blood.
Several tests can
find antibodies to or genetic material (RNA) of the HIV virus. These tests
Testing is often done at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months
after exposure to find out if a person is infected with HIV.

can decide if testing is right for you.
This test is not done to
determine if a person has AIDS. A diagnosis of AIDS means a person is
HIV-positive and other problems are present.
You do not need to do anything before you have this test.
A test for HIV infection can't be done without
your consent. Most doctors offer counseling before and after the test to

vein. But many people do not feel any pain (or have only minor discomfort)
once the needle is positioned in the vein. The amount of pain you feel depends
on the skill of the health professional drawing the blood, the condition of
your veins, and your sensitivity to pain.
There is very little risk of complications from

interfering with the results. If this occurs, a PCR test, which detects HIV RNA

Are you ready for a fourth iteration of "As Star Is Born"?
Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood have been working together on a J Edgar Hoover biopic, and when their not busy actually shooting, the director has been bugging his lead actor about the possibility of starring opposite Beyonce in a remake of "A Star Is Born," reported Deadline.
We're befuddled, frankly. Beyonce's film career has been hit-or-miss, though admittedly better than DiCarpio's singing career, and why Eastwood would want tackle this project is anyone's guess.
U.S. & World
The first "Star" came out in in 1937, and featured Janet Gaynor and Fredric March; next came the Judy Garland-James Mason version in 1954 and finally the Barbara Streisand-Kris Kristofferson take in 1976--why we'd do this again is anyone's guess.
At the very least, the good news is that Eastwood's courting of DiCario suggests that "J. Edgar" is going well. We'll know for sure when the film arrives Dec. 14.

There's an Internet meme making the rounds of the Web these days, a paparazzi snapshot of Keanu Reeves, shabby and faded, sitting on a park bench, eating a sandwich and looking forlorn. "Sad Keanu" was good for a laugh, but quickly sparked a backlash from people who said "Hey, don't make fun of Keanu … the guy gives most of his money to cancer research."
This, in turn, led to a new meme: Let's make July 1 Keanu Day. From that sprung another quickly-spreading joke: Keanu is immortal, a revival of a minor meme from late last year. These claims are often accompanied by photos of Keanu 20 years ago compared to now, showing little, if any, aging. Also used as supporting evidence are images of the actor Paul Mounet, who worked 100 years ago and looks like Keanu if Keanu could grow a full beard.
I was thinking about all this today in the bookstore when I spotted a new biography of Josef Stalin, the Soviet dictator, featuring a front-cover portrait I'd never seen before. "Young Stalin," I noted, "Looks remarkably like Keanu Reeves."
And then it hit me: These theories, made in jest, were in fact correct. Keanu Reeves has walked among us for a lot longer than you might think. This set me off on a path of intensive research using all the tools at my disposal, namely Google, Orange Crush and two slices of Hawaiian pizza.
- Earliest known recorded Keanu sighting: This cave painting in southern Spain, dated to 14,000 B.C., depicts Keanu playing hockey and fishing, because he would eventually live in Canada. "That could be anyone," you may say, but please understand that I like to tell people I am an expert on things.
- The Last Supper: Keanu is sitting to Jesus's left, and appears to be saying "Whoah, no more bread?"
- St. Germain: This legendary occult figure first appeared in the 17th century and flickered in and out of the royal courts of Europe for the next two hundred years, never aging, and proving to be a master of the arts. Sound familiar?
- A pirate: Because he would if he could, and so would you.
- Paul Mounet: When Keanu discovered his passion for acting, it should have been no surprise. An immortal can't take on identity after identity, life after life, without learning how to immerse himself in the role. To hone his craft, Keanu became Paul Mounet. But while Mounet had a long career, he wasn't always the same person. I say this because later photos of him look nothing like this painting above. In the age of photography, Keanu had no choice but to move on more quickly as people began to track his agelessness. However, he failed to realize people would compare photos and notice that he was suddenly a totally different dude. This marks Keanu's first use of a successor.
- A cowboy on The Pony Express. Strangely, Keanu would later audition to play himself on The Young Riders, but didn't get the part, because producers thought he looked too young.
- Josef Stalin: Before embracing cinema, Keanu took over Russia. For his first few months, he gave everyone bonuses and paid vacations, and personally delivered cake to shut-ins. Later, as word began to spread that he was an immortal being, he hired another guy who didn't look much like him to carry on, and headed west. The new guy, by the way, was kind of a bastard.
- Keanu Reeves: In addition to becoming a stoner icon and one of the biggest Hollywood stars of his generation, Keanu continues his tradition of occult mysticism and mind-clouding spellcasting. You probably didn't know that he's a shapeshifting hypnotist, did you?
Along the way, Keanu studied with Aristotle, rode with Genghis Khan, sailed with Columbus and served as the inspiration for The Last of the Mohicans. He might also have been Billy the Kid, but I doubt that, because Billy the Kid actually looked like Emilio Estevez. There are also unconfirmed reports that the third statue from the left on Easter Island is a portrayal of Keanu, and there are whispers in certain circles that the dead alien recovered at the Roswell crash site was clutching a picture of Keanu.
And there you have it. This is as much as I could cobble together on such short notice, but you'll have to trust me on it, because I'm Canadian, just like Keanu. Well, he is now.

Verizon Wireless' data plans are in for a big change stated in a report today by Reuters:
"Verizon Wireless plans to kick off pricing changes this summer by eliminating smartphone plans that allow unlimited Web access for a flat fee," reads the article. "It will replace them with tiered pricing that forces heavy data users to pay more for mobile data."Currently, Verizon Wireless smartphone users with family plans are required to pay $29.99 per line for cellular data. Non-family-plan smartphone customers can purchase unlimited mobile data (with a 5GB allowance) for the same monthly price. Many are also questioning on whether Verizon will 'Grandfather' in users already using 4G device on the Verizon LTE network - which seems like will be the case."after this change, which forces heavy data users to pay more, the company will look to soften the blow by offering more options such as family plans for data services."
Are you on the Verizon network? How much would you be willing to pay for 4G data?

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Chlorambucil belongs to the group of medicines called alkylating agents. It is used to treat different types of cancer of the blood and lymph system, such as chronic lymphatic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and other types of lymphoma.
Chlorambucil interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by this medicine, other effects may also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may occur after treatment with chlorambucil has been stopped.
Before you begin treatment with chlorambucil, you and your doctor should talk about the benefits this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of chlorambucil in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of chlorambucil in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving this chlorambucil.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Take this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not take more or less of it, and do not take it more often than your doctor ordered. The exact amount of medicine you need has been carefully worked out. Taking too much may increase the chance of side effects, while taking too little may not improve your condition.
Chlorambucil is sometimes given together with certain other medicines. If you are using a combination of medicines, make sure that you take each one at the proper time and do not mix them. Ask your doctor to help you plan a way to remember to take your medicines at the right times.
While you are using chlorambucil, your doctor may want you to drink extra fluids so that you will pass more urine. This will help prevent kidney problems and keep your kidneys working well.
This medicine sometimes causes nausea and vomiting. However, it is very important that you continue to use the medicine, even if you begin to feel ill. Do not stop using this medicine without first checking with your doctor. Ask your doctor for ways to lessen these effects.
If you vomit shortly after taking a dose of chlorambucil, check with your doctor. You will be told whether to take the dose again or to wait until the next scheduled dose.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly. Blood tests will be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using this medicine, tell your doctor right away.
If you plan to have children, talk with your doctor before using this medicine. Some men and women using this medicine have become infertile (unable to have children).
Serious skin reactions can occur with this medicine. Stop using this medicine and check with your doctor right away if you have blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin; red skin lesions; severe acne or skin rash; sores or ulcers on the skin; or fever or chills while you are using this medicine.
While you are being treated with chlorambucil, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Chlorambucil may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not take oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid persons who have taken oral polio vaccine within the last several months. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
Chlorambucil can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
Check with your doctor right away if you have the following symptoms while taking this medicine: skin rash, fever, cough that won't go away, irregular monthly period, nausea or vomiting, seizures, unusual lumps, or yellow eyes or skin.
Make sure your doctor knows if you have had any other cancer treatments or radiation therapy within the past 4 weeks.
Cancer medicines can cause diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting in most people, sometimes even after receiving medicines to prevent it. Ask your doctor or nurse about other ways to control these side effects.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

A rare child star success story, Neil Patrick Harris is now being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Naturally, the actor couldn't bring himself to be too earnest during the unveiling.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"As much of an honor as this is, unfortunately, it won't be the first time I've been plastered on the sidewalk in front of the Frolic Room," he said. "And yes, that includes right now."
After noting that his star will be near the Pantages theater and a bar, he later told E: "I love it. "It's the perfect blend. I'm partly theater and I'm partly getting wasted, so it's a nice combination."
On hand for the festivities were Harris' "How I Met Your Mother" co-star Jason Segel and the "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" creator Joss Whedon.
"Neil has been entertaining audiences in television, stage, the Internet and film for over 60 years, and he just honestly couldn't look better," joked Segel. Segel went on to say that the consummate showman begged for the opportunity to host his own ceremony.
The Emmy Award-winner, of course, first rose to fame at age 16 with the 1989 television series "Doogie Howser M.D." The multi-talented actor and singer has also hosted the Emmy Awards and the Tonys.
Harris' longtime partner David Burtka, with whom Harris is raising infant twins, was also in attendance.

Butchering Beasts and Firing Up the Grill at Miller's Guild in Seattle
Walk into the new Miller's Guild at the Hotel Max in Seattle, and what you'll immediately notice is the immense presence of an impressive nine-foot wood-fired grill. Affectionately called "the Hearth," the custom-made Infierno (made by Grillworks, which has only produced a handful of these to date) is clearly intended to be the focal point of the restaurant. Sit anywhere close, and you'll not only see it, but you'll feel it as well. The Infierno puts out a lot of heat.
So, just how hot is the grill?
It's so hot that those working it wear welder aprons (and gloves)—a lesson learned after realizing that cotton t-shirts heat up intensely. (In fact, the original idea of shirts with decals was ditched when the plastic started melting onto the cooks' bodies.) It's so hot that workers are limited to just two days per week on the hot side of the grill. It's so hot that chef Jason Wilson jokes that his biggest challenge is "stocking up on lotion and ChapStick." And it's so hot that I couldn't conduct an interview of Wilson at the grill (I was worried my camera and I would both melt), and even at the counter I needed occasional breaks for cooler air.
Talking with Wilson away from the fire, a quick question came to mind: did the grill come with an owner's manual? He explained that there was basically just a sheet explaining how to use the crankwheel, which enables him to adjust the height of the cooking surface according to desired interaction with the flames. When I asked if he felt like a mad scientist at work over the open flames, he nodded and said, "I'm like a caveman who's figured it out."
Grillworks would likely call Wilson a maestro, as the company describes its Infierno as "a stage for chefs to conduct an open fire symphony." Wilson wants to maximize use of the Infierno, demonstrating for me the ability to grill seafood above the fire, cook meats in cast-iron pans, heat bread, roast beets under "coals" (wood, actually), blister apples, and more. Reflecting on the challenge of working with his new toy, he said, "it's mostly about exploring the full potential of multiple styles of cookery...at one point, I looked at the copper pipe above the Infierno and realized I could hang quail there to smoke them."
In some ways, Miller's Guild is the opposite of Wilson's long-established Crush restaurant. Cooking over fire is far different than sous vide cookery, for example; walk away from the fire for even a minute and the food may suffer. Wilson explained that you need to constantly see and hear (and feed) the fire. In opening Miller's Guild, he wants to show his breadth of skills rather than replicating something he's already done. "What we're doing here is not fine dining, but I don't consider it a step down," Wilson explains, adding, "It's simply a different style."
If you can take your focus away from the fire, you'll find an intimate dining room that's casual and yet classy. The restaurant name pays homage to the building's past, when it was known as the Vance Hotel, housing Vance Lumber Company workers. As the area was home to many guilds, Wilson wants to evoke era-based cookery, including the crafts of butchery, baking, and cocktails.
Miller's Guild currently serves dinner only, but it will soon expand to include breakfast and lunch, with each mealtime uniquely different in terms of food and ambiance. During dinner, there are several menus to consider. The main menu has appetizers and salads, entrées and large plates, and sides and vegetables. The Infierno menu changes daily based on what's being butchered and lists animal, source, and details. It's where you'll find large cuts of beef (including A4 Wagyu), rack of lamb, pork loin, prawns, and that smoked quail. Check the slideshow for some of the menu items and a closer look inside the restaurant.

Imagine driving in your car. As you start to doze off, the car senses your state and slows itself safely to the side of the road; imagine as you are dozing off, the pillow senses your state and turns your TV off; imagine walking into a room and having your computer turn on just by it sensing that your focus is on it; think about scoring higher points in your game – be it archery, range shooting, golf, etc; imagine seeing your brainwaves control a three-dimensional puzzle as you track the height of a floating ball on cushion of air while navigating a maze of hurdles.
These, and many other new developments, are now possible with the electronic platform created by Stanley Yang of Neuro Sky's MindWave. Stanley sees a day when heart attacks will be mitigate and seizures avoided, machines operated. Movies edited, games controlled, REM prolonged, sports improved and lessons learned all with the power of biosensors.
Bio sensors are moving out of the laboratory and into the home. Many games are now using the application as Mattel's Mind Flex, where by focusing you can control a ball in the air and guide it toward various places in the maze. One of the most popular toys last Christmas, Mattel is now coming out with a two player version (and it's almost sold out already!)
Technological advances in amplification, noise cancellation and others are lowering the cost of bio sensors. Neuro Sky's biosensor headset digitizes brainwave signals to power the user-interface of games, computers, and investigative medial applications. NeuroSky technology accurately measures mental states as meditation and attention, which are different than actual thoughts. Sensing the user is in a state of calm is different than sensing the user likes the color blue. These mental states have powerful capabilities when integrated into video games education, sports coaching, meditation and other purposes.
"I was a big fan of Star Wars growing up and I wanted to help really create a force that could sense our emotions and assist us in communicating with our machines." It was this inspiration that created the game Star Wars Force Trainer by Uncle Milton. Melding science and technology, he was driven by the simple mantra "What If?" The game follows the path of a young Padawan (you), who under the guidance of Yoda, learns to use his mind to telekinetically control the height of a sphere with enough precision to move from a Padawan to a Jedi Master.
Now Toshiba's MindTune gives you a visualization of the mind as it reacts to music. Currently only available in Japan, the MindTune amplifies the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta and Gamma brainwaves to create an audio-visual experience.
The base program of NeuroSky's MindWave measures brainwave impulses from the forehead with a headset and communicates with the PC or Mac with a wireless USB plug. The original package comes with ten applications. These include SpeedMath, Meditation, BlinkZone, Archery, Tug of War, MindPlay and others –all which are geared to improving your focus and ability to relax. Integrating neuroscience in a special way, the SpeedMath monitors the student's attention level when learning early grade arithmetic lessons. The cost of the single set is $99.
MindPlay, another application, is a movie viewing game that allows the mental state of the viewer to determine plot changes in the movie. For instance, if you are watching a horror movie and become scared, the movie will shift in one direction and if you decided to fight the monster, the movie will create a new ending for you . Another movie in the package is a terrorist thriller, which tests your skills and your courage. According to Trey Azam, CEO, these are great for training you to deal with situations in the real world – bullies, conflicts and build confidence.
Widely acknowledged as a "mental game", golfers will immediately recognize the benefit and understand how their mind acts as an ally at all time and an adversary to others. The BrainAthlete Golf Trainer uses the NeuroSky ThinkGear built into the visor. With this, golfers are able to monitor their degree of meditation and attention. A coaching tool, it helps golfers to place themselves in the mental state where they are the most accurate with their swing. Currently available only in Japan, it will shortly be marketed here. www.b-bridge.com.
Currently there are over 30 games and educational applications that can be downloaded from their AppStore for a minimal fee.
The PLX X-Wave is neuroscience being produced to the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch to create situations that will exercise, entertain and educate your brain while on the go.
NeuroSky's platform technology currently seeking other ways to partner and improve human /machine compatibility. "We pride ourselves on pioneering mass market, Brain Computer Interface technology (BCI) that is user friendly and cost effective. We actively support opportunities for broader and more socially beneficial applications of our technology. We are honored to be working with the world's leading brands, universities, and minds in investigative studies on ADHD, autism, post traumatic stress disorders, Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury and many others.
Time magazine named MindWave as one of their all time greatest toys.
I'm looking forward to my MindWave. I only wish I could mentally control my daughter, too.

Learning, Play, and Your Newborn
What Is My Newborn Learning?
Play is the chief way that infants learn how to move, communicate, socialize, and understand their surroundings. And during the first month of life, your baby will learn by interacting with you.
The first thing your baby will learn is to associate the feel of your touch, the sound of your voice, and the sight of your face with getting his or her needs for comfort and food met. You can encourage your newborn to learn by stimulating your newborn's senses in positive ways — with smiles, smoothing sounds, and gentle caresses.
Even at this young age, newborns are ready to learn about the world around them. A newborn loves to look at faces, especially mom's. Likewise, in the first days and weeks of life, newborns can recognize their mother's voice. Your infant will respond to your voice (or other interesting sounds) by looking alert and becoming less active. The baby may try to find out where the sound is coming from by looking around and turning his or her head.
When you smile and talk to your infant, your face and the sound of your voice will become a familiar source of calm and comfort, and your little one will learn to associate you with getting nourishment, warmth, and soothing touch.
The "Rooting Reflex"
Babies are born with reflexes or programmed responses to certain stimuli, such as touch. These reflexes help ensure survival. But they also provide an opportunity for a baby to interact with the world. For example, the rooting reflex is elicited by gently stroking a newborn's cheek. The infant's response is to turn head and mouth to that side, ready to eat.
By the time they're 3 weeks old, babies will turn toward the breast or bottle not just out of a reflex, but because they've learned that it's a source of food.
Asleep, Active, or Alert?
During the first month of life, your newborn will spend much of the day sleeping or seeming drowsy. Over the next several weeks to months, your baby will mature and be awake or alert for longer periods of time.
It's important to recognize when your baby is alert and ready to learn and play and when your little one would rather be left alone:
- A baby who is quiet and alert will be attentive and responsive and interested in surroundings.
- A baby who is awake but active (squirming, flapping arms, or kicking legs) or fussing will be less able to focus on you. The baby may seem agitated or start to cry when you try to get his or her attention. These are signs that your baby may be getting overstimulated.
Over the coming weeks and months, you'll learn to recognize when your infant is ready to learn or overstimulated.
Encouraging Your Newborn to Learn
As you care for your newborn, he or she is learning to recognize your touch, the sound of your voice, and the sight of your face.
In the first few weeks you may want to introduce some simple, age-appropriate toys that appeal to the senses of sight, hearing, and touch, such as:
- rattles
- textured toys
- musical toys
- unbreakable crib mirrors
Try toys and mobiles with contrasting colors and patterns. Strong contrasts (such as red, white, and black), curves, and symmetry stimulate an infant's developing vision. As vision improves and babies gain more control over their movements, they'll interact more and more with their environment.
Some Other Ideas
Here are some other ideas for encouraging your newborn to learn and play:
- Put on soothing music and hold your baby, gently swaying to the tune.
- Pick a soothing song or lullaby and softly sing it often to your baby. The familiarity of the sound and words will have a soothing effect, particularly during fussy times.
- Smile, stick out your tongue, and make other expressions for your infant to study, learn, and imitate.
- Use a favorite toy for your newborn to focus on and follow, or shake a rattle for your infant to find.
- Let your baby spend some awake time on his or her tummy to help strengthen the neck and shoulders. Always supervise your infant during "tummy time" and be ready to help if he or she gets tired or frustrated in this position. Never put an infant to sleep on his or her stomach — babies should sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
- Talk to your baby.
Keep in mind that babies develop at different rates, and there is a wide range of normal development. If you have any concerns about your newborn's ability to see or hear, or your baby doesn't seem to be developing well in other ways, talk with your doctor.

|Wiki-page rating
2010-03-26 [*Phoenix*]: Thanks. I noticed later....
hmmm.....I would add them. I mean, what harm could it do besides adding extra links?
Also: what do you do if you don't quite know what the genre of your book is?
2010-03-26 [Linderel]: Huh. I just read an essay on that book. On its way of representing AAVE, to be more specific.
2010-03-26 [SilverFire]: [*Phoenix*] - google/wikiped
harm could it do besides adding extra links?
Beside that, not a lot, but I'm really not a fan of having extra links, and it's silly to create a page for something that's only ever going to get, say, 4 reviews in it. IF you make too many, at some point sub-pages stop being useful, and just start being hassle.
2010-03-27 [*Phoenix*]: hmm. okies.
true, true. sometimes it can be a hassle. esp. if you have slow internet....
2010-03-27 [*Phoenix*]: I've added my genres! :)
2010-03-27 [SilverFire]: Thanks... but, where? On the reviews themselves, or...? :)
2010-03-27 [*Phoenix*]: in the description...
both of mine are young adult/fantasy.
2010-03-27 [SilverFire]: Please don't. I still don't know what you're talking about, sorry. :/ You mean you added them to the page? but I'm the last editor, so I guess you can't mean that...) You added it to the comments that list your review? Or where? :/
2010-03-27 [*Phoenix*]: Sorry. I did make it sound confusing. I added it to MY reviews under the "60 word description of page" and I'm going to add it to the review under the title, does that make sense now?
Also, if it's a magna does that have to be added to the review as a genre now that it has its own page?
2010-03-27 [SilverFire]: Okay, totally with you now. :) Thanks (for adding the info, and for explaining repeatedly :P) And yes, if it's a manga, new reviews should go to the comics and manga review section, not the book section anymore. I think I moved all your manga reviews from here already, though? Or did I miss some?
2010-03-27 [*Phoenix*]: Good! Okies, so I won't add the genre to those then. No, you got all mine. :)
2010-04-10 [Duke Devlin]: Mark Haddon; The Curious Incident... review
2010-04-10 [Duke Devlin]: R.D Jahn; Acts of Violence review A tale of a murder, and the Bystander & Ripple effects.
2010-04-15 [Caterin S.]: James Clavell: Gai-Jin review A massive historical novel of Japan at 1860s
2010-06-16 [another brick in the wall]: just to give a testimony to anyone that wonders if people actually read these reviews, I have just read the Leviathan after seeing [Akayume]'s review on it. Never would have heard of such a book otherwise. so thank you, Elftown staff that made these reviews possible. ^^
2010-06-28 [Akayume]: It is an amazing book. (:
2010-07-26 [SilverFire]: Amg. Now we have to reviews of the same book (Frankenstein). :3 W00t. Also, just so people know, I'm going to start deleting the comments linking to reviews after I add them to the pages, just so I don't come back here when a new review gets posted and forget which ones I've dealt with.
And just so I know that this is the comment after which reviews have not been added, I'm going to bold it and stuff <_<.
2010-07-26 [*Phoenix*]: *laughs* We so do now! Now I have to read the other. *scampers off*
2011-01-03 [Viking]: Is this page being neglected, or is it just my reviews? =P
2011-04-21 [SilverFire]: Err, sorry, I deleted a load of comments so that I could get all the reviews I thought I needed to add on one comment page before realising that I'd already added half of them. >_<
2011-04-21 [SilverFire]: I refuse to post reviews by the author of the work. They're not reviews, they're propaganda. :P
2011-05-12 [Ms. Steel]: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks review
2011-05-12 [Ms. Steel]: Water For Elephants review
2011-05-12 [SilverFire]: Added. :)

2011-05-26 [hanhepi]: the "Children and Teen Lit" bookmark goes to an empty page.
2011-05-26 [SilverFire]: Fix0red, thanks. :3
2011-05-26 [Akayume]: Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats; Eliot review
2011-05-26 [SilverFire]: Hmm... may have to make a new section for poetry. X_x
2011-05-26 [Akayume]: Yes. :( I sowwy. I've done a few poetry reviews before.
2011-05-26 [SilverFire]: Yeah, but they can usually go somewhere else, too - usually classics - but I think Eliot is a bit too modern for that. :P
2011-05-26 [Linderel]: Classic enough to be covered in the poetry section of our IntroLit course. :P Then again, most of the people covered on that course are 20th century peeps. Hmm.
2011-05-26 [SilverFire]: Usually anything post WWI gets called a 'modern classic' here. I guess Eliot's on the cusp of that. Maybe I should just decide whether I'm going to bother distinguishing classic/modern classic at all.
2011-05-26 [Akayume]: Or you could just make a poetry section. :P (Since I plan in reviewing modern - as in written in the last ten years - poetry soon.)
2011-05-27 [Madhalf Heatlump]: ERB: The Man Who Created Tarzan review An amazing biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs. A must read!

Long overdue blog
Hi guys its been awhile since my last entry and I apologize to all of you. Currently the Tigres are two games out of first place. This league is very tough and everyone beats up on each other. At one point this season we won nine games in a row and didn't seem to gain any ground in the standings. Then we follow that streak up with a six game losing streak and somehow stay within the top four teams. The key for us in December is to stay positive and get as many wins we can so that we can lock up a spot for the playoffs. The playoffs are a round robin style format with five of the eight teams in the league qualifying. They also have a four round draft for the qualifying teams to choose players from the non qualifying teams. If last nights close game against Magallanes is anything like a playoff atmosphere I'm really excited for the playoffs. I can not explain how passionate the fans and players are for this game. We ended up losing 3-2. It was a great game and came down to the bottom of the 9th, but we just ran out of outs.
I have been wanting to post new videos and pictures, but my phones camera has stopped working. Also the internet at the hotel has been sketchy. I'll try to get the videos and photos up when I head back to the US this weekend for a friends wedding. I'll be back in Venezuela on Tuesday.
A bunch of our teammates recently got signed. Wifredo Ledezma signed with the Dodgers, Luis Hernandez and Yangervis Solarte both signed with the Rangers, Darin Downs with the Tigers, Vinnie Rottino the Mets, and Victor Moreno with a team in Mexico. And finally Lastings Milledge has signed with the Japanese Professional baseball league with the Tokyo Swallows.
This past week in Aragua was a huge music festival. Everyday during the week there was a concert that went on all day and night. Some of the artists that were in attendance were Wisin y Yandel, Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, and Enrique Iglesias. The concert took place at the soccer stadium directly next to our field. The traffic to and from the field was no bueno.
Game tonight in Caracas against the Leones. Ariba Los Tigres!

Detroit's mood grim as automakers face the brink
By Poornima Gupta
By Poornima Gupta
DETROIT (Reuters) - After three decades at work in a GM factory, John Martinez has reached a crossroads.
Martinez, 50, must choose between retiring and making a long and expensive commute across state lines to stay with General Motors Corp. Any future he can imagine is going to be costly and tough.
"My whole family is under stress," he said.
"My whole family is under stress," he said.
The same can be said of the embattled U.S. auto industry and its recession-hardened hometown, Detroit. GM, once an emblem of U.S. post-war economic might, is being driven to the brink by dwindling sales that are expected to test cash reserves and the nerves of investors in the months ahead.
Crosstown rivals Ford Motor Co and privately held Chrysler LLC face similar pressures. As the automakers weigh their options to ride out the industry's most-trying slump in 25 years, thousands of Detroit families are doing the same.
For many, the choices line up from bad to worse.
With four kids, retirement is not an option for Martinez. But driving more than 100 miles daily between home in the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park and Toledo, Ohio -- where GM has a job for him -- is going to hurt with gas over $4 a gallon.
Moving from Detroit, one of the markets hit hardest by the ongoing housing slump, could prove impossible.
"I can't probably sell my home for what it's worth," said Martinez. "I will owe more than I sell it for."
"I can't probably sell my home for what it's worth," said Martinez. "I will owe more than I sell it for."
When Martinez joined GM in the late 1970s, it controlled 46 percent of the U.S. vehicle market. A union job in the U.S. auto industry was seen as steady work with good wages and rock-solid benefits -- for life.
But last week, GM shares skidded to their lowest level since 1955. The stock had its worst week since trading in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, with Wall Street analysts handicapping when and how it will raise new capital.
GM's sales have dropped 15 percent so far this year, and its share of the U.S. market is down to just 21 percent.
When major automakers report sales for June on Tuesday, there is a chance that GM will be overtaken by Toyota Motor Co as the monthly sales leader, a reversal that points to the popularity of small cars like the Yaris and the abandonment of SUVs and trucks like the Yukon and Silverado.
GM has responded by slashing costs, cutting truck production and slashing its factory work force to less than half of the 118,000 it employed four years ago.
When Martinez joined GM, it was near its peak factory payroll of 468,000 with a new factory in Oklahoma City set to start up. Now it is rolling back, shuttering plants and cutting jobs. On Friday, 17,000 more GM workers took buyouts to leave.
On a combined basis, GM, Ford and Chrysler have cut more than 100,000 factory jobs since sales began to slow in 2006.
For Detroit, the downturn has been brutal. Michigan's jobless rate jumped to a 16-year high of 8.5 percent for May. Detroit led the nation with its home foreclosure rate in 2007.
In nearby Inkster, hometown of Motown's Marvelettes, businesses on either side of the Picture Perfect beauty salon are boarded-up.

Tasha Shaw, the salon owner, is considering giving up too. Sales have dropped 60 percent over the last year as clients in the auto industry been forced to cut back.
"I have never seen it this bad," she said.
"I have never seen it this bad," she said.
Inkster is tied to the fortunes of Ford, headquartered in nearby Dearborn. In the industry's boom days, jobs were plentiful, drawing workers from around the country. Civil rights activist Malcolm X lived in Inkster in the early 1950s and worked briefly in a local Ford plant.
But now, for many left in Inkster, a haircut is no longer an affordable luxury, Shaw said. "They have so many bills. People have lost their cars, homes... It's terrible," she said.

Across town in the suburb of Oak Park, Lauri Kopack's husband, an electrician, has been forced to take a job in West Virginia. He comes home on weekends when he can, but gas is expensive for his Ford F-150 pickup truck.
"There are no jobs here," Kopack said, adding that about 1,400 in her husband's union local are out of work.
"It's tough," she said. "When he comes home, he is like a visitor."

I have a table whose Primary Key column is used to define the Foreign Key of seven other tables.
I now want to drop the parent table: Disabled the seven FKs and tried, didnt work; it gave ora-02449 error.
The following query was used to determine FKs:
select parent.table_name "P", child.table_name "C"
from user_constraints parent, user_constraints child
where child.constraint_type='R'
and parent.constraint_name=child.r_constraint_name
and parent.owner = child.owner
and parent.table_name = 'TABLE_NAME'
order by parent.table_name, child.table_name;
I also imported the datapump file into a sql file and verified; there are only 7 FK constraints on the above parent table.
Also, it is to be mentioned that some tables have a composite Primary Key defined with the column name same as the above table's primary key column name.
Would this have anything to do with the issue at hand?
Please note that the above composite PK tables do not have any FK on the offending table.
Please help!

Your waist size can be an important measure of
Waist circumference is an
indirect indicator of intra-abdominal fat tissue, often called visceral fat. A
large waist circumference is associated with an increased risk of type 2
diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease
because of excess abdominal fat.
To measure your waist circumference, place a tape measure around your body at the top of your
hipbone. This is usually at the level of your belly button. You are at
increased risk for health problems if you are:1

Response to DM3
From RIF
Thank you very much for your comments. Please see our comments within.
> I am trying to understand the section 3.8 on intended semantic structures. > I am not a deep expert in logic, so what may be obvious and implied to > experts is alas not obvious to me. (My goal is to develop a dialect > handling Naf amongst other things). > > I have two comments/questions... > > 1) Looking at the section 3.8 , I see the term "intended semantic > multi-structure".

However this section does not even > define (explicitly) what the "purpose" of such structures might be, nor > any criteria for knowing that you have selected the right set for a given > purpose. (Could the set be entirely random, I ask myself?)
We have added more explanations in that section, which should hopefully make the intent clear. The intended structures are by no means random. They should be defined by a trained logician who is familiar with the mode-theoretic semantics of rules.

Yes, "intended" subsumes "preferred" in Shoham's terminology. Please see if the reworked explanations make the purpose any clearer.
> 2) In the section 3.9 a definition for entailment is given, based upon the > lattice of truth values. However in the reference (again Shoham87) there > is no mention (as far as my non-expert eyes can see) of lattices of truth > values, only preference relations between interpretations.

This is a generalization of Shoham's notion to the case of multi-valued logics. Shoham considers only two-valued logics. Our notion reduces to Shohams for 2-valued dialects.

If we win football matches they can have hitlers ghost in the dug out.
Now there's a guy I hope is drinking his own piss, and get pineapples shoved up his arse everyday. Fucker.
His face bothers me.
It's positive. With the initial appointment of Big Sam and now Sammy Lee it shows the board are not pandering to public opinion anymore and are prepared to make unpopular decisions they feel are best for the club. Leadership really.
