Perea's Bill to Protect Children from Sex Offenders Approved by California Assembly
SACRAMENTO — A bill that would prohibit sex offenders from living, working, or volunteering in foster homes or state licensed facilities that serve children under 18 years of age was approved by the Assembly today.
Assembly Bill (AB) 1108 introduced by Assemblymembers Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno) and Jim Frazier (D-Oakley) along with Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar), would make it a misdemeanor for any person required to register as a sex offender, to reside, work or volunteer in foster homes or facilities licensed by the State Department of Social Services or a county child welfare service agency. Offenders can be sentenced up to six months in county jail and/or fined up to $1,000.
Assemblymember Perea's Statement on Governor Brown's Proposed Budget Revisions
"California's fiscal health is on a steady path to recovery, but we must not lose sight of Californians' values and priorities such as education. The Governor's proposed Local Control Funding Formula would be a monumental change to how the State funds our schools because it targets additional resources to school districts that serve students with the greatest needs. As proposed, the funding formula would benefit schools with the highest percentage of low-income students and English Learners. In the Valley, this would be a turning point for students who have the potential to succeed in school, but have been lacking the support they need to achieve their goals."
State Funding to Help Two Fresno Companies Compete with Out-of-State Businesses

Editorial: Equalization board needs to go on the recordThe California Board of Equalization is a bit like a court, as it adjudicates taxpayer disputes that can involve millions and tens of millions of dollars. In fact, the board's members are politicians who have been termed out of the Legislature or are seeking higher office. And unlike actual courts, the five-member board has fallen in the habit of failing to explain its reasoning in published opinions for all to see. Assembly Revenue and Taxation…
Perea Legislation Will Hold Delinquent Taxpayers Accountable
(Sacramento) – Assemblymember Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno) has introduced Assembly Bill 1424 which, if signed into law, will provide the Franchise Tax Board more tools that it needs to collect funds from delinquent taxpayers. Every year, the State Franchise Tax Board puts together a list of the Top 250 taxpayers with state income tax liens who owe more than $100,000. Those currently on the Top 250 list owe a combined $180 million to the state. "The people on this list all owe the state $100,000 or more and they continue to buy their vacation homes and expensive cars," Assemblymember Perea said. "If the debtors on the Top 250 List all paid what they owe today, the state could use those funds to restore Adult Day Health Care and provide services to the 31,000 Senior Citizens in our state." Here's more from Assemblymember Perea in this Assembly Access video.

No More Cleft Palate For Cliff The Dog
When a homeless animal is rescued, it's great news. Adopted? Even better. But given a whole new life through reconstructive surgery? Extraordinary.
Patch readers will remember Cliff the dog from an earlier story as the pit bull mix who was rescued by LifeLine Animal Project, then placed into a loving home, but remained in danger from a birth defect that often kills dogs before they reach adulthood. Cliff had a cleft palate, a condition that usually causes puppies to slowly starve to death because they can't feed normally from their mothers. Even if they do manage to get some nutrition from their mothers, or are fed by humans from a tube, liquid will often leak into their sinuses or lungs and cause pneumonia. At over a year old, no one knew how Cliff managed to survive into adulthood. He was rescued by LifeLine after being tied to a tree and left on an abandoned property. Soon after …

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters suggested to WCPO TV that teachers "trained to handle a weapon" should be armed.
The idea isn't surprising coming from the Republican county prosecutor. In the onset of tragedies like the one in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., conservatives tend to counter liberal cries for more gun control by saying the United States actually needs more guns. They argue an armed society deters and is more effective in stopping criminals.
The problem is the idea contradicts broader scientific research. Following the attack at Tucson, Ariz., that nearly killed former U.S. representative Gabrielle Giffords, economist Richard Florida looked state-by-state into what factors correlate with gun violence. He found no correlation between gun violence and mental illness, higher stress levels, neurotic personalities, higher unemployment or inequality. However, his research did find that the places with the most gun control tend to have less gun violence.
Researchers at Harvard Injury Control Research Center found another correlation: Whether looking at countries or states, more guns means more homicides. More specifically, men and women in places with more firearms are at a larger risk for gun-related homicide.
The University of Pennsylvania tackled the issue from a different angle in 2009: The researchers looked at gun assault cases to see if gun owners were more or less likely to be shot. They found people with guns were 4.46 times more likely to be shot and people who had a chance to resist were 5.45 times more likely to be shot.
In 2009, ABC News ran a 20/20 special that used a simulation to gauge whether armed civilians can stop attacks. The simulation placed trained and armed students into a classroom, where they thought they would be getting additional firearms training. In the middle of the lecture, an armed gunman broke into the classroom and began shooting the teacher and students with fake rounds. In all the examples shown, none of the students were able to stop the gunman before taking shots that would have been deadly in a real scenario. Essentially, being trained in the use of a firearm was not enough to prepare someone for the high levels of distorting stress experienced in a real crisis.
In their defense, conservatives typically point to a few stories, including one in which a gun-toting Florida senior stopped an armed robbery at an Internet cafe. But are a few feel-good stories enough to trump scientific research? After all, one of the main purposes of the social sciences is to sort through outliers and find real tends with strong evidence.
Looking at the facts and research available, perhaps it's better to focus on mental health services and gun control than it is to arm school teachers and staff, as suggested in CityBeat's Dec. 19 news commentary.
CityBeat could not immediately reach the prosecutor's office for comments through phone or email. This story will be updated if comments become available.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is proposing training school staff and teachers to be first responders in the case of an attack. The news comes in the wake of the massacre in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which caused the deaths of 20 children and six adults. CityBeat proposed its own solution in this week's commentary: Make this time different by focusing on mental health services and gun control.
Cincinnati will lease Music Hall for 75 years to the Music Hall Revitalization Company (MHRC). The lease is part of a plan to renovate the iconic building to include more comfortable seating, extra restroom capacity, heating, air conditioning, improved plumbing and new escalator models. During the renovations, Music Hall will be closed for 17 months.
City Council passed a resolution promising not to use Metro bus money for the streetcar. The supposed conflict between the city of Cincinnati and the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is being drummed up by the media, but it's really much ado about nothing.
Metropolitan Sewer District rates will go up by 5 percent in early 2013.
The Cincinnati Health Department is pushing
recommendations from a lead hazard study. The recommendations would
prohibit lead-based paint hazards and require all properties to be free
of lead-based paint, dust and soil. City Council is asking the health
department to carry out the regulations, and it expects from a plan and
timetable from regulators within 60 days. One study found getting rid of lead would do wonders for school performance
A Brookings Institute ranking placed Greater Cincinnati among the worst areas in the country due to falling home prices.
Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank agreed to a $16 million settlement in a securities fraud case. The four-year-old lawsuit was brought in the onset of 2008's financial crisis, when the bank's stock plummeted as it took several large writedowns.
Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino still needs to fill 450 positions in food and beverage, marketing, finance, security and more. A Washington Post analysis found casinos tend to bring jobs, but they also bring crime, bankruptcy and even suicide.
As expected, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is helping Ohio's economy. The state has 39,000 jobs attached to oil and gas this year, and the number is expected to triple by the end of the decade. To take advantage of the boom, Ohio Gov. John Kasich says he will push his oil-and-gas severance tax in 2013. But the plan faces opposition from liberals and conservatives.
If Ohio Republicans tried to push "right-to-work" legislation, it would lead to a very nasty public fight, The Plain Dealer reports. Kasich and Republican lawmakers didn't rule out using ballot initiatives to push conservative ideas like right-to-work in a press conference yesterday, but he did say he's like a horse with blinders on, focusing on job creation.
The animal and robot takeover have been merged in the BigDog robot. It can now obey voice commands, follow and roll over.
Metal detectors could come back to City Hall, but local legislators can't do much more regarding local gun control. Still, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and other City Council members will begin pushing for more federal regulations on guns starting today. President Barack Obama is already beginning to drum up support for more regulations on guns, including a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips. He also wants to close a loophole that allows people to buy firearms at gun shows without background checks. At the state level, a new bill loosening gun regulations in Ohio is facing criticism. The bill will make it easier to store firearms in cars and allows them for the first time in parking garages under the Ohio Statehouse and a nearby office tower. Gov. John Kasich said he will sign the bill.
The University of Cincinnati is launching a fundraising effort for the renovation of Nippert Stadium. The project could cost as much as $70 million. The university wants to offset as much of the cost as possible to build premium seating, with the possibility of 28 new luxury boxes and more than 1,400 premium seats being added. Goals could change based on demand and fundraising efforts.
A Cincinnati-based company and its top executive have pleaded guilty to circumventing Ohio's competitive bid process. The actions cost Ohio taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars,
according to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. The company circumvented
the competitive process by submitting multiple bids on road jobs under
different names, creating the illusion of competition.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a possible candidate for the presidency in 2016, will headline a Hamilton County GOP event. He will be a featured speaker next month at the Northeast Hamilton County Republican Club's annual pancake breakfast.

On the bright side, animals can be pretty cute. Here is a dog flipping over its food, and here are cats locked in deadly combat against a printer.
In light of the Newtown, Conn., massacre, a City Council member wants metal detectors put back in City Hall.
Democratic Councilman Cecil Thomas says he's always been concerned about security, and he hopes recent bouts of gun violence will make it clear more protective steps are necessary.
Thomas argues City Hall should not be an exception to a practice that's carried out in other government buildings. He points to federal and county buildings and other city halls around the nation, which tend to use metal detectors.
Thomas, who was a police officer until 2000, acknowledges metal detectors are a "little bit of an inconvenience" to visitors, but he adds, "These are times when a little bit more inconvenience can go a long way to possibly save a lot of lives."
So City Hall could get more security, but what about the city as a whole? Earlier today, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls announced City Council will work on a resolution to encourage Congress to pass new gun regulations at a federal level. Beyond that, Thomas says not much is likely.
The problem is state law trumps local law when it comes to gun regulations, so City Council's hands are tied on the issue. "I would like to see us be able to control our own destiny as it relates to gun laws, but, obviously, I have no control over that," Thomas says.
Metal detectors were in place at City Hall until 2006, when Mayor Mark Mallory had them taken down to make City Hall more open to the public.
Former Ohio governor Ted Strickland, who rose to the governorship with the help of the National Rifle Association, says gun rights and gun control can co-exist. The claim is in light of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which killed 20 children and six adults. Many have called for stricter gun control in light of the past year's bouts of gun violence, but Republicans are typically opposed to such proposals. A recent poll from The Washington Post and ABC News found 59 percent of Americans support banning high-capacity ammunition clips, much like the ones used in the Newtown shooting. Another 52 percent back the ban of semi-automatic handguns.
Still, Gov. John Kasich isn't changing his mind on the Second Amendment. He says he will sign a bill that allows guns in the Ohio Statehouse parking garage. The bill will also change the definition of an unloaded gun, allowing gun owners to carry loaded clips in their vehicles as long as they are in a separate compartment from the gun, and make concealed carry permits from other states easier to validate in Ohio.
Despite denials from city officials, mayoral candidate John Cranley and Councilman Chris Smitherman insist city government is trying to use the transit fund to fund the streetcar. But Mayor Mark Mallory in an op-ed for The Cincinnati Enquirer said it will not happen. Mallory said the dispute dates back to a lawsuit filed by Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA), which runs the Metro bus system. The lawsuit demands transit funds be solely dedicated to SORTA.
Cincinnati's U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot has vowed to continue trying to kill the streetcar. Even though voters have approved of the streetcar twice, Chabot, who also represents Warren County in district boundaries that were redrawn by Republicans, says he would rather focus federal funding on other projects, like the Brent Spence Bridge.
A conservative northern Kentucky lawmaker is supporting a bill that expands prisoners' rights to DNA testing. The bill would allow a Cincinnati man to push for DNA testing that he claims will exonerate him of a 1987 rape and murder in Newport. Ky. Sen. John Schickel argued, "If DNA testing is good enough to send you to prison it should be good enough to get you out of prison."
Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank bought another $100 million in stock from Credit Suisse International. The deal is part of a larger program to buy back 100 million shares.
Cincinnati State is in line to obtain $123,000 from the state government. The funding could create 51 new or expanded co-op jobs.
The United Way of Greater Cincinnati announced $50.7 million in investments for 2013, a slight increase from 2012. The increase will help boost funding to prepare children for kindergarten by 5 percent. It will also fund 288 programs at 146 agencies, with seven becoming new United Way agency partners.
The Prince Hall Shriners, which describes itself as "the world's oldest African-American fraternal organization," is returning to Cincinnati in 2015. The convention was in Cincinnati in 2011.
Duke Energy's local management is being shaken up. Jim Henning will take over as president for Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky.
Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro is retiring.
Did you know our solar system is sort of like a phoenix? It apparently rose from the cumulative ashes of countless stars, not one supernova.
By now, most of you have heard there was another horrible mass shooting, this time in Newtown, Conn., that resulted in the death of 20 children and six adults. While everyone is hoping this is the last time the nation has to deal with an event of unspeakable horror, it is only a possibility if we agree to do something about it. That means remembering the heroes who risked their lives and, in some cases, died that day. That means not letting the media and public drop the issue, as has been the case in the past. That means looking at more than just gun control, including mental health services. The Washington Post analyzed what "meaningful" action on gun control would look like, and the newspaper also disproved the idea Switzerland and Israel are "gun-toting utopias." President Barack Obama also spoke on the issue at a vigil Sunday, calling for the nation to do more to protect people, particularly children, from violence. The full speech can be watched here.
City Council approved its 2013 budget plan Friday. The budget relies on the privatization of city parking assets to help plug a $34 million deficit and avoid 344 layoffs. The budget also nixed the elimination of a tax reciprocity for people who lived in Cincinnati but worked elsewhere and paid income tax in both cities, and it continued funding the police department's mounted unit. As a separate issue, City Council voted to increase the property tax by about 24 percent, reversing a move from conservatives in 2011. CityBeat wrote about budgets at all levels of government and how they affect jobs here.
Michelle Dillingham, who was an aide to former city councilman David Crowley, will seek Democratic support in a run for City Council. Dillingham promises to tackle "industry issues of mutual interest" to business and labor and "transportation funding, family-supporting wages and workforce development."
At a recent public hearing, mayoral candidate John Cranley proposed a "very easy" plan for the city budget. Only problem: His plan doesn't work. In an email, Cranley said he stands by his ideas, but he added he was working with limited information and his statements were part of a two-minute speech, which "requires brevity." He also claimed there are cost-cutting measures that can be sought out without privatizing the city's parking assets and gave modified versions of his ideas regarding casino and parking meter revenue.
Judge Robert Lyons, the Butler County judge who sealed the Miami rape flyer case, is standing by his decision.
The Greater Cincinnati area is near the top for private-sector growth.
Jedson Engineering is moving from Clermont County to downtown Cincinnati, thanks in part to an incentive package from City Council that includes a 45 percent tax credit based on employees earnings taxes over the next five years and a $300,000 grant for capital improvements. The company was a Business Courier Fast 55 finalist in 2008 and 2009 due to its high revenue growth.
Gov. John Kasich's Ohio Turnpike plan is getting some support from Toledo Mayor Mike Bell, but others are weary. They fear the plan, which leverages the turnpike through bonds for state infrastructure projects, will move turnpike revenues out of northern Ohio. But Kasich vows to keep more than 90 percent of projects in northern Ohio.
Gas prices are still falling in Ohio.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner is making some concessions in fiscal talks. In his latest budget, he proposed raising taxes on those who make more than $1 million a year.

Panelists including the parents of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin talked about reconciliation and turning personal suffering into power at the National and Racial Healing Town Hall at the Duke Energy Convention Center on Wednesday during the Children's Defense Fund National Conference.
Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father, broke down in tears as he told the story of how his son saved his life by dragging him out of their condo and calling 911 after Tracy had been badly burned in a grease fire.
"My child is my hero," Tracy Martin said. "He saved my life. Not to be there to save his is troublesome to me."
Trayvon Martin was shot and killed on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Trayvon, who was black, was unarmed and shot by the white and Hispanic Zimmerman after Zimmerman pursued him in defiance of a request by a police dispatcher. Zimmerman claims the shooting was in self-defense.
Zimmerman is out on $1 million bail while awaiting trial on a charge of second degree murder.
"Nothing anyone can do will bring Trayvon back," Tracy Martin said. "You have to take that negative and turn it into a positive. We chose to keep our son's name alive and not let his death be in vain."
The town hall-style meeting was kicked off by poet and author Maya Angelou. She urged the hundreds of people in attendance, mostly young and black, to demand justice for Trayvon — referring to Zimmerman as "the brute" — but "that means we don't become poisoned by hate."
Angelou wasn't the only one who urged against hate.
Black historian and civil rights activist Vincent Harding, who celebrated his 81st birthday on Wednesday, issued a challenge to the youth in attendance:
"Are you ready to fight for the healing of George Zimmerman and all the George Zimmermans of America? Are you up to that?" he asked.
"This country has no chance unless they are healed."
The panel was made up of social activists, many of whom had lost friends and family to violence or bigotry, but whose pain prompted activism instead of retaliation — panelists such as The Rev. Ronald and Kim Odom, who lost a son to gun violence but volunteer in intervention and outreach programs; Clemmie Greenlee, a former prostitute and gang member who formed a peacemaking organization to work with gang members after her son was killed; and Ndume Olatushani, a former prisoner who was released in June after 19 years on death row after being falsely convicted of murdering a Tennessee shopkeeper.
The younger members of the audience were encouraged to ask questions after the panel presentation. Teenagers and young adults from as far as Tennessee, North Carolina and Minnesota asked questions about dismantling the system of racial oppression, overcoming odds stacked against young minorities and having society see past an old felony conviction.
The panelists all tried to offer encouragement, while urging the younger generation to continue to try to fight to make things better.
"When you look at the odds, it's so horrific for a young minority American, you say 'why even try, why even bother?' " said Benjamin Crump, a civil rights attorney who is representing Trayvon's mother Sabryna Fulton. "But the reason you try and you bother, there is so many examples where we beat the odds every day and nobody even know about it or talked about it."
"It goes back to you and saying, 'I am going to make something of myself. I don't care about the statistics, I don't care about the odds.' … You say, 'well, if it's one out of a million, I'm going to be that one.'"

My mother brought me a book to look at recently. It's called Heston Blumenthal at home. Amongst the recipes was a technique which I think would be of interest to the Just Bento community. I wish I could say that I could have come up with it myself but there is a step which makes quinoa suitable for spreading and rolling in nori I would never have ever considered trying. I won't go into too much detail as I have no wish to infringe his creative copyright but the basic principle is easy to share.
To begin with, his tips for preparing quinoa:
Start with 200grams of quinoa and soak it in water for 15 minutes then drain it (a sensible way to rinse quinoa)
Add the drained quinoa to 350grams of water to which you add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring it on medium high heat to a simmering boil, cover, bring the temperature down and leave to simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off and leave the quinoa to rest for a further 5 minutes.
Next, that clever bit; divide the quinoa in half (I do this mentally) and pulp half of the quinoa with a hand blender. Combine the unblended and blended ingredients and, presto - Sticky quinoa!
Now you need to dress it and this is where I'll respect the copyright. He suggests combining ponzu (he gives a recipe for a home made version), miso, sesame seeds, onion seeds, horseradish, chives and a few other ingredients but you can be as creative as you like (I personally like to dress quinoa in a mix of fish sauce, lime juice, honey/sweetener, garlic and water which gives it a Thai taste). Consider adding about 70grams of your chosen dressing but add less or more to your own personal taste.
Once the quinoa is dressed smear it on the nori and add your favourite fillings before rolling up. It is a teensy bit trickier to make makizushi with quinoa than regular white rice but not that much more so. I enjoyed these last night with my daughter and had a mayonnaise mixed with wasabi to accompany them.
These can easily be made to accommodate any diet; vegan, gluten free, wholegrain, carnivore (Heston suggests rare beef, shitake and scallion as one of the fillings - or cucumber, avocado and mango for a meatless version)
Sounds yummy, I'll have to try it.
My blog is Food and Shoes
These can easily be made to accommodate any diet; vegan, gluten free, wholegrain, carnivore (Heston suggests rare beef, shitake and scallion as one of the fillings - or cucumber, avocado and mango for a meatless version)
I'm looking forward to trying it out. ^^
I just recently got into Bento making. This is already quite adventurous for me :)
I tried this earlier today and worked great! Tastes awesome too! Glad I can eat healthier sushi now, so I can have it more often :D
I'm really pleased this works for you, honey bee.
Blending a little of the quinoa and stirring it with regular cooked quinoa before dressing it has been an invaluable tip for my family just because it makes it easier for my two year old to eat the stuff without it ending up EVERYWHERE.

I remember preparing for a flight to Los Angeles in the late '90s. I was packing my carry-on and laboring over what books to bring. I didn't want to carry more than two. Then I packed my portable DVD player. I also packed an extra-bulky battery because the one that the DVD player came with only lasted 2 hours. Finally, I threw in a pile of magazines. All of that made my carry-on bag very heavy.
Luckily, technology pressed on, and here I am today with my trusty iPad. I have all my movies, e-books, and even my favorite articles on Readability. I should have no complaints. The problem is, the more I get, the more I want. So as I was packing for a 3-city, 10-day trip recently, I had my iPad plugged in to my computer, and realized it was already full with all of the movies I wanted. I had just gotten the second season of Showtime's Episodes, starring Matt LeBlanc, so if I wanted to add that, I would have to remove a bunch of other things to make room. But what if I didn't like that season after I had started watching it? I would have gotten rid of some other great stuff that I really wanted to see. And now I'm stuck up in the air! Oh, such problems.
Like me, lovers of iPads, iPhones, Androids, and every other portable device have long complained that they wish they had some external storage since there are no inputs for a thumbnail drive on these devices. The Kingston Wi-Drive ($80) seems to have solved that issue.
The Wi-Drive comes in a shiny, sleek black case and is about the size of a very slim iPod. It comes in 16 or 32 GB and is very easy to set up. It's got a simple-to-navigate interface. You get icons for movies, books, and photos. Loading material on the Wi-Drive is quick and simple. The drive shows up as an icon on your desktop. Simply drag movies or photos to the drive, and you're ready to go.
You'll need to download an app on your device. Turn on the Wi-Drive, and it shows up under your Wi-Fi devices. After connecting, open the app, and you're good to go. I was watching a movie off the Wi-Drive in seconds, and it streamed flawlessly. You are essentially upgrading the storage on your device for a fraction of what it would have cost you up front.
One feature I love is that it allows for up to three users at once, so your kids could share it in the back seat for that long vacation drive. It supports most formats, and the battery life is somewhere in the 4-hour range. It also comes with a 1-year warranty. That probably sounds like it should be typical, but I find more and more companies offering less support, like 3 months, so that goes a long way with me.
Yes, we are all getting spoiled. It wasn't that long ago that we didn't even have these devices, and now we want more from them every day. With so many choices out there, I find it harder and harder to decide what I want at my fingertips. With the Wi-Drive, my decisions are a little easier.
I won an Ipad III, my first Apple product, and my first reaction, after thank you, was "16gb, and no sd card or usb port? This s*$%(s ! After reading your helpful article on the Kingston product, I started a search, since 32-64gb isn't that much more storage, especially when on the road for 2 weeks.
Voila ! I bought a Seagate Goflex passport (less than $100). 500 gb of storage for all the movies and music you want to send to your Ipad, Iphone, etc !
You can stream a movie from the Goflex to your Ipad like the Kingston, but why would you use 2 batteries at the same time for streaming ? Since you can only watch one movie at a time, just copy the movie from the Goflex or Kingston to the Ipad ( with the help of a Goflex app in the Ipad store), and then just use the Ipad - no streaming hassles, delays, etc. Seagate even recommends a free 3rd party movie app that'll play all movie formats.
With 500 gb I have a great portable, small, wifi hard drive that'll send movies and music to my Ipad quickly and painlessly. And the battery lasts for months if you just use it to copy vs stream.
If you've outgrown your Kingston already, think about this product (no, I don't work for Seagate).
But mainly I write thanks for steering me in the right direction about wifi hard drives.

Paris-Roubaix is an easy race to fall in love with from the comfort of an armchair. The Queen of the Classics' appeal is visceral, with the cobbles demanding their pound of flesh and the mud-caked faces & haunted eyes belonging to someone else.
The history of the area is tangible, made up of towns that lend their name to First World War battles and the squat, muscular shapes of Second World War bunkers which fleck the windswept landscape. The clichéd comparisons seem facile but are apt, it's an attritional ride and each sector wears you down. To survive it was enough for me, to race it… unbelievable.
Riding into the first sector causes bottles to leap from cages bent tight the previous night, hands flinch back from the hoods to the tops and against your will slowly begin to contract like a vice. It takes a conscious effort to relax, to get behind the gear and push. Get the head up & the eyes looking beyond the rider in front, hunt for the smooth line. The sanctuary of the draft takes on a sinister dimension.
Is this the best line? Can they be trusted not to fall off in front of me?
The world contracts beyond the peloton, the cobbles become yours to suffer alone.
As it was largely dry I hunted for the solace of the gutter, God knows what you do in the wet. Le Carrefour de l'Arbre (the last real sector) lacks a gutter and the cobbles litter the track, seemingly discarded there as a half-hearted afterthought, it's a complete shit.
Francesco Moser has the best advice I've come across for Paris Roubaix: "_Be strong, ride in front and have a little luck_" If it rains with 4000 people on the parcours you'll need a lot of the final attribute. Pay as much attention to the preparation of your bike as your body. Loctite bolts, tighten spokes and ride light, tiptoe across the stones, don't wake the beast…
If I was in love before, I'm infatuated now.

About my charity
The statistics on blindness are staggering, but people don't go blind by the million- they go blind one by one.
For each person the impact is enormous. Loss of sight often results in social exclusion, making blind people vulnerable to abuse, poverty and early death. Less than half of all children who lose their sight will survive to adulthood.
The figures are overwhelming. Help us to help others see by donating now.

After making stops in New York and London, the fashion scene decamped to Milan this week. And in that glorious fashion town, bright style reigns supreme. (Lest we forget, this is the city that gave us the ultimate disco ball of style, Anna Dello Russo.) So for this weeks Mr. Blasbergs Best-Dressed List, our editor at large Derek Blasberg was drawn to prints, colors, and the sort of quirky sartorial kicks that one can only find in Milan. Like Carine Roitfeld mixing a Balenciaga tiered tinsel skirt with a gold sweater. Or Margherita Missoni mixing metal fringe with a knit Missoni wrap dress, and Azealia Banks, never one to shy away from a bold look, rocking a bright and cheery Just Cavalli costume. Only one person made it on the list in basic black. But, as Derek told us, shes the brand of Hollywood fashion icon who can wear whatever she wants. Find out who she is in the slide show.
Memories of idyllic afternoons and wild flowers crowns need not be a thing of the past, especially when a floral topper is the look of the moment. First appearing on the Dolce & Gabbana Fall runway in February, recently a trio of celebrities have stepped out with botanical headpieces. We're taken with Keira Knightley's romantic red Chanel piece, while Kirsten Dunst borrowed from the Dolce & Gabbana runway at Cannes. And always one to impress, Emma Stone's delicate band fits perfectly with her soft, rose gold eye shadow and wispy locks. If hordes of music festival attendees and Margherita Missoni's bridesmaids' daisy garlands are any indication, we're looking forward to a very floral summer.

Left to right: Chairs by Alexandra von Furstenberg, Margherita Missoni and Nate Berkus.
Nineteen big names in the world of fashion and interior design, including Margherita Missoni, Nate Berkus and Simon Doonan, have each custom-designed a one-off version of Arne Jacobsen's iconic Swan chair for SUITE's The Pink Swan Project. The chairs will be auctioned off online, with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Missoni's is a playful, boho take on the idea of a "pink swan" with pastel feathers, while Alexandra Von Furstenberg produced a clear neon-pink version that looks like it was created in a futuristic Candyland. Doonan opted for a witty concept with the seat covered in mouths, the better to kiss your you-know-what. Other boldfaced names such as Vicente Wolf and Jonathan Adler have also contributed their versions. The auction will run on www.charitybuzz.com throughout October; the chairs can currently be seen on SUITE NYC's website.
Our editor at large, Derek Blasberg, has been on quite the whirlwind schedule of late, from New York Fashion Week to London Fashion Week to a brief stop in L.A. for the Oscar festivities. But just because he was on another continent didn't mean his mind wasn't on fashion month. That's why he has devoted this week's Mr. Blasberg's Best Dressed, his roundup of his favorite looks in fashion from a week, to his industry peers in Milan for the Italian collections. Unlike the three other cities that dominate the fashion calendar, Milan is unique in that the fashion industry takes top billing. Sure, there are other businesses in Milan, but everyone goes there for the fashion—which means we can always expect some major looks on the streets and piazzas of that fine city. This season did not disappoint. We saw models on and off duty looking spectacular (thank you very much, Anja Rubik, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha Poly, and Edita Vilkeviciute), and we saw various other fashion-industry heavyweights pound the pavement looking fabulous, including the playful Italian fashion-dynasty scions Margherita Missoni, Coco Brandolini, and Delfina Delettrez Fendi. Rounding out the group, Blasberg found a blogger and a Hollywood icon that looked marvelous in Milan.
Who knew that you could upstage a Beatle? That is exactly what happened at the Stella McCartney show on Thursday morning as her legendary musician father, Paul, was the second most buzzed about guest in attendance. Across the way Sacha Baron Cohen, dressed as his alter-alter-alter-ego Bruno arrived in a blond wig disguise and flashed several fashion editors his red thong underwear while launching into the occasional clapping fit.
The celeb quotient is actually rather calm in Paris, at least in terms of security detail. When was the last time you heard of the President's daughter arriving without a single ear-miked peep at a fashion show? That's what happened at Jean Paul Gaultier when Barbara Bush came through the doors like a regular 4th row citizen.
At Giambattista Valli, the Italian designer's ferociously loyal gaggle of Euro glam girls showed up en masse. The filled out front row included Delphine Delettrez Fendi, Margherita Missoni, and Tatiana Santo Domingo.
Representing the good ol' U.S. of A. was the lovely and talented Natalie Portman. She was the picture of polish in Valli's black pencil skirt and man-attracting sky-high pumps. The best part? Not an hour earlier she was spotted walking into the Hotel de Crillon in sweats and running shoes, with a little dog in tow.
Finally the supes proved why they are indeed super with a high wattage outing at YSL; it was Naomi, Claudia and Stephanie all looking way chic in the front row.

Remote Healthcare helps ease pressure on hospital beds, provides increased patient satisfaction and improves Patient outcomes. Care-giver productivity also increases dramatically, with the ability to access information on the move, anytime and anywhere. Our solutions include:
- Interface into Patient Management Systems – via a wide variety of devices
- Telemedicine Applications
- Remote Monitoring — home devices & sensors for Patient use
- Unified Communications – any time, any where communications
- Video collaboration – for remote collaboration, consultations and treatment.

There has been a lot of talk recently about the possibility that the earth was cooler much earlier than was previously believed. This article from Scientific American gives a good introduction:
There's something that bothers me, but I'm not sure if it's a valid question. What I'm wondering is, I believe our current assumption is that the earth was once very hot, and the heat that the earth has now is a remnant of that initial heat. So in other words, the earth is slowly cooling from that early Hadean period.
So the obvious (to me) question is, if the earth was cooler at an earlier date, what does that do to the equations about the current temperature? Wouldn't the current temperature also be lower? I'm thinking maybe that the cooling off is reverse-exponential, if that's the correct term, so a large difference at the beginning would only lead to a negligable difference today.

Treatment of children living with HIV
An estimated 3.4 million children were living with HIV at the end of 2011, 91% of them in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of these children acquire HIV from their HIV-infected mothers during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding. With efficacious interventions the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission can be reduced to 2%. However, such interventions are still not widely accessible or available in most resource-limited countries where the burden of HIV is highest. The number of children receiving ART increased from about 456 000 in 2010 to 562 000 in 2011, but this represents coverage rate of only 28% among children in need of paediatric ART.
WHO develops normative guidance for use by policymakers and programme managers and provides support for governments and national stakeholders in developing and implementing HIV prevention, testing, care and treatment services for children.

I'm writing this little sample "gadget" for exchanging ideas with GH beginners, since I am also a beginner myself.
GH is great, it saves many geometry fans from coding and debugging by just deploying and linking components on canvas. It makes life quite easier. But if we try some coding, we may find the VB&C# components can make life the easiest.
My sample is presented in both GH and VBScript forms, they do almost the same thing. Comments are not written in codes since it's quite easy to read.
Hi Arthur,
Sorry for not having been here for a very long time.
Maybe we should pay more attention to setting the starting and ending values in the loop, since the figure implies uninitialized variables(they might use the default value which might be zero).
Best Regards,

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Now that four out of the five counties have been tallied, there could be a winner in the 46th State Senate District race as early as next week.
The contest between democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk and republican George Amedore has been extremely close. Amedore's spokesperson says with Montgomery County wrapping up counting early Saturday morning, he now leads Tkacyk by 920 votes.
Spokesman Kris Thompson says Ulster County will begin counting Monday morning. Ulster is the last county to go through the process.
Any contested ballots will be set aside and both sides could head to court November 28th.

This is just a damfine forum. Great fun is being had by this fool!
Yo, Herr-Anonymous, I probably ought to ask you, "Wherefore art thou?", but I reckon I'll just ask you in plain Texan: "WHAR ye, bubba?"
You've got a interesting name--you probably orta chime in more often. Might be an interesting feller...
Eye two am gnu hear. Looking forward to some interesting cussin' and DIS-cussin'.
I've browsed the archives (most of the Forum! C'mon, guys 'n' gals!) There are some pretty fart smellers on here. Er...smart fellers...and some gals, too, that leave my feeble lexico-lunacy in the dust! (Naw, that ain't dirty...)
The stick-figures and poetry sorta go off and leave me, though I can appreciate our kinsmen in the East. (lived in Japan 2 years, didn't bring anything back but hookworm, herpes angina, and some cuss-words. Just a kid.)
My only attempt at haiku went something like this:
A big beautiful horse
Stepped on my dog
Now he limps.
And my only response was, "Who limps, the horse?" Guess I just don't get it. Oh, well...
