Wave of weddings for Bay Area same-sex couples
Wave of weddings: Same-sex couples across Bay Area exercise right to marry,
Wyatt Buchanan, Jill Tucker and Christopher Heredia, Chronicle Staff Writers

Uttering the two simple words "I do," dozens of same-sex couples were wed in the Bay Area on Monday evening as California became the second state in the nation to grant marriage rights to gay men and lesbians.
County clerks braced for an even bigger rush of couples who will tie the knot today when all 58 counties in the state begin issuing marriage licenses that no longer designate "bride" and "groom" but instead "party A" and "party B."
A crowd gathered Monday evening at the Sonoma County clerk's office in Santa Rosa, including 19 same-sex couples who had made appointments to marry. The crowd counted down the last seconds to 5:01 p.m., when the state Supreme Court's decision allowing the marriages took effect.
Mark Gren and Chris Lechman of Guerneville were the first couple to apply for a marriage license and wed.
"Now, by the power vested in me and in accordance with the laws of the state of California, it is my pleasure and honor to pronounce you married," Sonoma County Clerk Janice Atkinson told the couple.
In San Francisco, 200 couples have made appointments to obtain marriage licenses today at City Hall, said Karen Hong, director of the county clerk's office. Longtime lesbian-rights pioneers Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were the only couple wed there Monday.
So far, 2,303 same-sex couples have appointments to obtain a marriage license in the next 90 days in San Francisco. Nearly 1,800 of those couples will have their ceremony at City Hall, Hong said. She expects the rush of applicants for marriage licenses to level off over the next few weeks.
In Oakland on Monday night, Kenneth Latham and Keith Boadwee of Emeryville joined hands and looked into each other's eyes as they recited wedding vows to become the first same-sex couple married in Alameda County. They have been together 10 years and one month.
"We've been together so long we know what it means to be a couple," Boadwee said. "However, now that we have the legal protection, wherever we go throughout the state, people will recognize it."
Besides San Francisco, Sonoma and Alameda counties, weddings also were performed Monday night in Yolo and Los Angeles counties.
Like San Francisco, Los Angeles County married just one couple. Robin Tyler and Diane Olson, who were plaintiffs in the landmark marriage case, exchanged their vows in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Beverly Hills.
"We're not nervous. We've known each other 15 years," Tyler said.
Even as dozens of couples exchanged vows around the state, many more worked on last-minute wedding plans.
Salvador Valles and Dean Jansen, who live in New York City and have been together 14 years, are returning to San Francisco, where they first met, to pick up a marriage license. They'll marry in a ceremony this evening at a friend's Berkeley home.
They are registered domestic partners in California and New York but have never held any type of commitment ceremony.
"We really wanted to wait until we could get married," Valles said. They have worn rings on their right ring fingers and plan to put new rings on their left hands today.
"I can't wait to introduce him to others as my husband," Jansen said.
Protesters are expected in droves today outside county clerks' offices in several California counties. People opposed to same-sex marriage gathered on the sidewalk outside of San Francisco City Hall on Monday night but were quickly outnumbered by supporters of the unions.
A woman from the church of Kansas pastor Fred Phelps - whose followers are known for their harsh anti-gay rhetoric - stood behind police barricades in Civic Center, holding derogatory signs and singing songs with her two children. Someone else drove around the block in a truck painted to look like an American flag that read, "Sodomy is sin."
One of the protesters, Luong Bo, said he drove up from San Jose. Bo held a giant sign that read, "Homo sex is a threat to national security."
Others were there to support the couples. One man strummed a guitar and sang "The Chapel of Love," while Kathryn Werhane threw rose petals on some of the protesters.
"We want to support these weddings - it's love and tolerance for real," she said. "Any proclamation of love is good with us. Why are they crashing our party?"

Poliomyelitis, also called polio, is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by three types of poliovirus. The poliovirus is a virus most recognized for its destruction to the nervous system causing paralysis. The majority of individuals who are infected with polio, however, have no symptoms and few have mild symptoms. Of those persons that do acquire the infection, 2 percent or fewer may develop paralytic disease. Since the advent of the polio vaccine during the early 1950s, infections from the poliovirus have nearly been eradicated.
Today, polio is extremely rare in the United States because of the use of the vaccine. However, it is still common in other countries, so all children need to be immunized for protection from the disease. The type of polio vaccine recommended in the US is called inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). This is an inactivated (killed) form of the virus and provides a very safe way to give immunity to polio. Another form called oral polio vaccine (OPV) was given in years past. But the OPV was a live-form of the virus and had a small risk of causing polio. OPV is still given in other countries because it is more effective than IPV in preventing the spread of polio.
IPV is given to babies and children in four doses at ages:
Children who are sick or have a fever should wait until they are well to receive the polio vaccine. Some children should not receive IPV. These include those who have ever had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic neomycin, streptomycin, or polymyxin B, and those who have had a previous reaction to the polio vaccine. Always consult your child's physician regarding vaccines.
A vaccine, like any medication, is capable of causing serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. However, the IPV is very safe and most people have no problems other than soreness in the location where the shot was given.

Troy Batchelor was the Robins top scorer this evening
"We did pretty well without Hans, and I am not saying we don't want him, but we covered pretty well for him," he said.
"We were 10 points down and Rosco didn't even use a tactical, because he was waiting for me to go out and use it but the boys pulled it back really quickly.
"We came back and got the win and that is good going into the play-offs now, and it is good to be coming back here where we know we can win.
"We have the psychological advantage now I think, and if we can ride well again next week we should be fine."
Thanks @Hansi_Andersen for the extra.ride mate— @batchattack1 19 September 2012
Robins boss Alun Rossiter is proud of the way his riders went about clawing back the Brummies' 10point lead this evening, and is looking forward to returning to Perry Barr in the play-offs.
"It was a great performance by everybody and I am really pleased because they all dug-deep and came away with some points," he said.
"It looked like it was going away from us, but the way we came back was great because we have put a good marker down now for the play-offs.
"We didn't have Hans and we didn't have Jason, but saying that Seb (Alden) has come in and done a fantastic job for us tonight."
Well so proud of the boys tonight we dug deep amazing determination #wiltshirepride✌✌✌— @AJROSCO 19 September 2012
PLAY-OFF NEWS: The Robins will return to Perry Barr next week for the play-off semi finals, after Poole chose to go to Lakeside.
Final score: Brummies 44 Robins 46
Heat 15: Kildemand, Batchelor, Ulamek, King. 59.9 (44-46)
The Robins duo win it from the gate to claim a superb comeback win.
Heat 14: Covatti, Alden, Auty, Morris. 60.8 (43-41)
Covatti beats Alden in a physical race, but it looks as though the Robins are going to pick up a 3-3 before Auty passes Morris.
Heat 13: Pedersen, Batchelor, Kildemand, Barker. 59.7 (39-39)
Pedersen exits the first bend first to claim the win and keep things level.
Coventry 41 Peterborough 33 in the other play-off related meeting this evening. Looks like it will be Lakeside.
Great effort from the Robins to level things up here, no reason why they can't go on and win it now.
Heat 12 (re-run): Kildemand, Alden, Smolinski, King FX. 60.2 (36-36)
King is excluded after pushing Kildemand into the fence, and after one aborted re-run the Robins duo levelled things up with an easy 5-1.
Red lights on again in heat 12 after an unsatisfactory start
Superb race between King and Kildemand ends with the Robins man hitting the fence, and the Brummies captain is excluded from the re-run. Kildemand looking very quick tonight.
Heat 11: Batchelor, Stead, Covatti, Barker. 60.2 (35-31)
Great team riding from the Robins duo as they pull their side back into it.
Heat 10: Kildemand, Ulamek, Morris, Pedersen. 59.2 (34-26)
Kildemand gets to the first corner alongside Pedersen, and it is the Robins man who uses his body well to ease his way through to take the win.
Heat Nine (re-run): Auty, Batchelor, King, Lampart. 60.5 (32-22)
Lampart goes down with Batchelor leading, but the Aussie leads for three and three quarter laps of the re-run before Auty spectacularly takes the win in the final corner.
Lampart goes down and is excluded from the re-run of heat nine
Heat Eight: Alden, Ulamek, Smolinski, Stead. 60.3 (28-20)
Alden makes a great start and is joined by Stead, but the Brit falls to the back despite looking quick.
Heat Seven: Barker, Morris, KIldemand, Covatti. 59.8 (25-17)
Barker wins from the front with Kildemand close behind, but the Dane suffers mechanical problems on the line but is only beaten by Morris.
Heat Six: Batchelor, Ulamek, Pedersen, Alden. 59.7 (22-13)
Batchelor wins it from the gate, but Alden goes down at the back after a four-lap battle with the out of sorts Pedersen.
Alden has two on the trot, so the riders are only just going on two minutes for heat six.
Heat Five: King, Stead, Auty, Alden. 59.3 (19-10)
Stead is passed by Auty early one, but the Robins man is clearly the faster rider and gets through for second.
Heat Four : Batchelor, Smolinski, Barker, Lampart. 60.3
Batchelor takes and easy win from the tapes.
Hans Andersen took a knock in Poland on Sunday, tried riding on it last night andhad a reaction so has been given the night off
Heat Three: King, Kildemand, Auty, Morris. 59.3 (12-6)
Good start from the Robins pair, but Morris loses his line and is eventually passed by both Brummies riders.
7:30pm Wed 19 Sep 12
soren78 says
Still trying to find out why Hans is absent this evening, will know more after the meeting.
Heat Two: Alden, Covatti, Smolinski, Lampart. 59.5 (8-4)
All four riders reach the first turn at once, but while Seb Alden muscles his way to the front and wins the heat, Lampart is forced to the back.
Heat One: Ulamek, Pedersen, Morris, Stead. 59.1 (5-1)
The Brummies duo win it from the gate.
Bit of a delay here, but the riders are out for heat one with Nick Morris taking the RR ride in place of Hans Andersen
It would seem there is no Hans Andersen this evening, with the Robins operating rider replacement at number one.
@AndyWarren_ I think Poole will pick Lakeside leaving us Brum! That's if Pboro don't make it - with their injuries I think they'll struggle— @MarcHiett 19 September 2012
Jason Doyle is on Premier League duty with Somerset and is replaced by Seb Alden, and Rossiter is pleased with the role the Swede has played this season despite not being involved in as many meetings as he would have liked.
"Seb did well at the start of the season at Birmingham and also rode well at Coventry, but he rides in Sweden which means he is riding on a lot of Thursdays, so it has been hard for him.
"We would have liked to have used him more because he has been riding brilliantly in the Premier League for Berwick and got a maximum for them recently, but unfortunately it hasn't worked out like that.
"I wanted to get him in for a home meeting too but it didn't happen, but he has contributed and has been part of what we have done this season."

The Robins will find out their play-off opponents after tonight's meeting, but Rossiter is not expecting a quick return to Perry Barr or a surprise semi-final clash against the Pirates
"I imagine that Poole will probably choose to go back to Birmingham, and we will be left with either Lakeside or Peterborough, whichever one of them gets in.
"I am not overly bothered either way because we need to beat whoever we are up against, and we will just have to wait and see.
"I am not expecting Poole to want to ride us in the semis, but you never know, although I don't think it will happen."
While the Brummies will earn a place in the play-offs as long as they do not lose by more than 12, boss Phil Morris sees no reason why they can't win tonight's meeting.
"If we do that then we haven't got to worry about what Peterborough do, points difference or anything.
"The lads were 10-2 down after two heats on Monday against Poole and if we can avoid that against Swindon I think we can beat them.
"It's a massive night and I'd urge all our fans and the people of Birmingham to come down and get behind us."
Although the Robins' play-off fate does not depend on this evening, boss Alun Rossiter has vowed not to take things too easy.
"We know that tonight's meeting is not life or death for us now because we can't finish top, but we want to finish as close behind Poole as we can, so we want to win," he said.
"We want to go into the play-offs full of confidence and winning at Birmingham is a good way to do that, but it is no good going out there and being silly.
"We saw in heat 15 on Monday night that Chris Holder and Darcy Ward didn't bust a gut to get past Ben Barker and settled for a 3-3, and while we will race hard, we need to remember the play-offs are coming and be sensible."
Good evening and welcome to a big night of racing here at Perry Barr, where Swindon round-off their regular season programme with a meeting against the Birmingham Brummies.
The Robins have already secured their spot in the top two and will learn their play-off semi-final opposition after tonight's meeting, but the home side need to a avoid a big defeat this evening to seal their spot.
The spotlight will also be on the meeting between Coventry and Peterborough at Brandon, where the patched-up Panthers will be looking for a win against the Bees to take the last spot in the play-offs.

I think Lampart's night was a one off but Steady's form continues to give concern. I do hope he is reserve for the semis. I would have thought he would have done well at Perry Barr

Felt Boxes by Parkhaus
When we're cleaning up there are always those few items that are most at home left out. Sunglasses, current magazines, iou's. We love to have a catch-all around for holding these day-to-day essentials. We'd really love that catch-all to be one of these felt boxes by Parkhaus in Berlin.
The box designs vary from the handled one pictured here to a round one, squared ones and woven ones. We love felt for its soft structure. We're keeping our eyes peeled for the moment we can purchase these online. A new Parkhaus online shop is currently under construction.
9 Comments
I thought that looked familiar. Their showroom was just down the street from the apartment I rented in Berlin earlier this month! Their stuff was truly beautiful. It took a lot of restraint to leave empty-handed.
bird and beef -
what sort of price point are they?
They remind me a little bit of the wool containers at Branch.
or the felt baskets at Room and Board:
This is really pretty, but isn't a catch-all basket just a clutter magnet? This would be a disaster in my apartment, anyway. Sunglasses should go on the landing strip, current magazines on the coffee table or in a magazine rack, and IOUs... the filing cabinet or ticker file.
Hi monika1,
I really wish that I could remember. I was tempted by a lot in this shop, but I do know that with the exchange rate, the price didn't invite a lot of impulse buying. There was so much great stuff at this store that it was kind of overwhelming, including really cute animal shaped egg warmers, key chains, and leaf shaped trivets that locked together (my favorite). I actually went back to take another look, take a few notes, and buy the leaf trivet, but it was closed. Apparently in Germany, they celebrate the Feast of the Ascension, but it has kind of morphed into this crazy Drunken Man Day over the years.
Anne in Chicago - you took the words right out of my mouth. I know that for me, with only so many sq ft to spare, the number of things taking up floor space is kept to a minimum.
Pentacost, Acension... no drunken fests here in Switzerland, but lots of days off school!
Anne in Chicago--
Rolled dry towels in a bath, newspaper for recycling, random toys... I think they have several possible dedicated purposes other than clutter magnet.

BOSTON -- How low had California Republicans sunk?
When Jim Brulte was installed as state GOP chairman in March, he took control of a party so broke it couldn't afford to maintain its own headquarters, state party offices named for iconic president and two-time California governor Ronald Reagan.
"It needed a new roof, it needs new carpet ... it's just a total state of disrepair, Brulte told the Washington Examiner during the Republican National Committee's summer meeting here.
The leaky roof is the least of the challenges Republicans face in California, where Democrats have long held a lock on the state's 55 electoral votes -- and will for the foreseeable future. Brulte feels like he's rebuilding from scratch.
This is the second time Brulte, 57, a former minority leader in the state senate, helped rebuild California's Republican Party. But this time it will be even harder, he said, because it's been three long election cycles since a Republican won a statewide office. Brulte's six-year rebuilding plan is modest and the task daunting: making the party relevant again.
Washington Examiner: What are your goals?
Jim Brulte: We've established three goals. One is helping maintain the congressional majority. ... Our second goal is to eliminate the Democratic super majorities in one or both houses of the legislature. For the first time since the 1800s, Democrats have super majorities in both houses. ... Our third goal is to elect Republicans at the local level.
Some people say you have to build a party from the top down and so you have to focus on statewide elections. And by the way, they've tried that. And, in two of the last three elections, Democrats have won every statewide office. Our goal is to do it a little differently. We're going to try and build from the bottom up.
Examiner: How were Republicans recently able to win a state senate seat in a district specifically drawn to elect a Democrat?
Brulte: It starts with an unbelievably good candidate [Andy Vidak]. I have been saying for over a decade in California -- and this has important implications for the national party. In a neighborhood election, the candidate who most looks like, sounds like, has the shared values and the shared experiences of the majority of the people in the neighborhood, tends to win. And, the neighborhoods of California have changed, and the neighborhoods of America are changing. So, recruiting the right candidate is step No. 1 in a successful election strategy.
Examiner: How can Republicans make inroads in a state as liberal as California?
Brulte: Candidates who are successful are candidates who have practical solutions to real problems that confront the people whose vote they're asking for. ... I don't believe parties should be a debating society, we ought to be about the business of electing Republicans, and it's too easy to default into that mode. I've been critical of some of the party leaders in California because they were really good at doing media interviews, but they didn't walk precincts, and they didn't raise money and they didn't recruit volunteers.
Examiner: How does the new rebuilding effort compare to the one a decade ago?
Brulte: It was easier then ... If you're a Republican donor or volunteer who had been involved for just the last three election cycles, you don't know what success is because we haven't had one. We now have one; we've shown that if we apply our resources and are prudent, we can win a [state] senate seat, and we did that and we're very happy about it. But the task is much more difficult today.

I walked into Executive Personal Fitness to find out that I was headed right back outside... back to the sandpit for round two! After how challenging the first time was, I was apprehensive to get back into the ring so quickly. I thought maybe we'd have a nice clean indoor session since I faced the pit last week, but no such luck.
In a lot of ways the second time in the pit was harder-- I did more reps, more laps, and more exercises. As Lisa said, we took it up a level this time. In some ways it seemed a little easier though... not easy, by any means, but I can feel myself getting stronger, and every time I train I feel like I'm building up my mental strength, too. There are times when I want to stop halfway or cut down on laps, but I'm able to push myself in a way that I haven't been able to in a very long time. I still think it would be highly unlikely that I could finish this kind of workout without Lisa in my ear, and on race day I'll have to keep her voice in my head the whole way through!
Anyway, let's get to the good stuff. I never knew how much you could do in the sand! Lisa continues to come up with new ways to put me in pain make me stronger, and this week didn't disappoint. We started with agility drills for a warm up, using a football ladder in the sand.
in the sand. I did different variations back and forth, jumping in and out the whole way up and back, then jumping side to side in the ladder. I also got my arms warmed up by doing a walking plank through the ladder.
Next up we did a little cardio, which I am incorporating little by little as I will have to run 12 miles (this still seems daunting) on the day of the Beast. To start, I ran laps in the parking lot carrying a 20 pound bag of, you guessed it, sand. I ran forward and backward, with Lisa guiding me so I didn't injure myself (this is a necessity don't do it alone!). By the end of the session I graduated to running laps on the sand, carrying the sand bag. I felt it majorly in my back, but I guess that's a good thing, since it's one of my weaker points.
There was no shortage of push ups, as per usual, and Lisa spiced them up by having me do them on various objects around the lot. I did push ups around a circular concrete thing (really don't know how else to describe it, see the picture in the slide show), I did push ups on tires, and I did pushups in the sand. Oh yeah, and I did a push up test, so I can track my progress. Unfortunately for my arms, this test came at the end of my session, when they were not exactly at their best! I pushed out 21 of them, so that's my starting point. Here's hoping I get to 100!
I can tell that Lisa is trying to push me to my limits, every time I think I'm almost done there's something else and it's always harder! But this is a good thing. Even if it hurts in the moment, afterward it always feels really good knowing that I got through it, and that it's making me just a little bit stronger. Make sure you click through the slide show to see what else we did this week… happy training!

PHP and most other server-side preprocessors can process html on the way out, too. Simple setting.
Means script kiddies like you won't look too hard at hacking... after all not much there to hack if you think it's all just straight html...

And so does the number of people commenting on such things.
What gives here - downloadable media most certainly does not have DRM, my torrent client says otherwise! Please go and read about "prohibition" and "designed obsolescence". Thank you.
If you have a good product, with fixed costs,that is too expensive, that nobody is buying, you are losing money. Sony et al. know this only too well, it's why the DVD industry followed the pattern it did.
If you reduce the price and get SOME customers, and they tell other people "Hey this works, it's good." you'll get MORE sales, with LESS margin - but this is much better than no sales at all!
Also, drives aren't proper backup, unless they're offsite, and these discs pack 50GB each, more than enough for most discrete items on your 3TB drive (what do you need that for anyway, HD porn?)
Physical media most definitely did not, does not fail. You sound like a shill for the cloud industry.
I'll leave everyone else to regail you with their tales of what media they use, but physical media most definitely is alive and kicking. When blank DVD's were a pound each, and hardly anywhere had them, seeing them in 100 packs in the main 24/7 supermarkets wasn't even a twinkle in my eye...
Roll forward 10 years, I look over at my media shelf... ASDA 100 DVD+R - about a tenner! If blank media were dead, nobody would be making it and nobody would be buying it, and ASDA wouldn't have it! Copyright Shill Begone!
The problem has always been the price of burners and discs. Blu Ray seemed awesome when I first saw it, but I never could justify the cost, what with these cheap generic +R's and WinRAR to split stuff... oh not to mention cheap almost-disposable drives.
They should re-tool all of their factories, embrace the inevitable, and minimize (or prevent) losses by marketing it for storage and reducing the price of the discs and drives. The only thing that can save Blu-Ray now is to re-purpose it.
As much as it's a rubbish summary and so forth, the game itself (eyewire.org) is actually quite compelling, at least on a par with those silly bubble saga things - and it gets human "mice" to map neurons for us science types!
Please be more positive, the more we know about such things, the sooner I'll have my network socket...

"A bold, rich, massive expression of exuberant Cabernet, with layers of concentrated currant, blackberry, spice and wild berry flavors that offer a mix of power and finesse, easing up a bit on the finish, where the tannins are ripe and firm."

Wine Spectator
"The deepest, best balanced of the Duckhorn brood, this one has the curranty focus of topnotch Napa Valley Cabernet as well as plenty of richness and nuances of rooty, loamy earth, caramel, crème brulee and pencil lead. It is supple and somewhat fleshy in mouthfeel with evident astringency rising at the end to lend a needed bit of grip while assuring that the wine has the structure to age well for a decade or more if that is your wont. It is hardly "gentle" yet, it earns kudos within its own flock for its mannerly approach and potential for growth."

Connoisseurs' Guide
"The most immediately drinkable of Duckhorn's '01s. It's soft and juicy, with smooth tannins and accessible flavors of cassis-infused cocoa and spices, with good lift from acidity."

Wine Enthusiast
"The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is also just beginning to strut its stuff at age ten. Smooth tannins, a dense purple color and copious quantities of cedarwood, creme de cassis, licorice and lead pencil shavings are found in this full-bodied, concentrated wine along with impressive purity, a smoky earthiness and a long finish."

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

Up here in Portland, Oregon the sun is peeking through the clouds. We made it through our "once every five years" snowstorm and now I am craving spring. So to get things started I am sharing one of my spring project that is perfect for the front door or for any room in the house. I painted these butterflies in pretty spring shades of watercolor. They are ready for you to download and print, both back and front of the butterflies. You can then follow my step-by-step tutorial below to make this spring wreath. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Ever since Justin Bieber complained that he had a laptop and camera with "personal footage" stolen, fans have been speculating as to the nature of said footage. But now it appears that the entire thing was an elaborate prank designed to promote Justin's brand-new video.
After Justin complained of the theft, a Twitter user known only as @gexwy popped up and claimed he had the footage, taunting Justin for his "weak" password, and threatening to release something at noon Friday that would change the way his fans think about him. Justin responded , "no matter what you have and what you post tomorrow i know my fans wont leave me. screw it. #toostrong ." The Twitter user replied, "haha. that is what u think. we will see tomorrow at NOON."
Come noon, @gexwy tweeted, "I told you I would post something WORTH watching and talking about," he tweeted. "And HERE it is." And he posted a link ...to a video for Justin's song "Beauty and a Beat," featuring Nicki Minaj .
The video begins with the words, "In October of 2012, three hours of personal footage was stolen from musician Justin Bieber. The following footage was uploaded by an anonymous blogger." A montage of what looks like "found" footage of Justin follows, but then the music starts. We see Justin smiling into a camera and walking by a ping-pong table, on which is written the words, "Beauty and a Beat, written and directed and shot by Justin Bieber."
Justin starts singing, walking backwards while filming himself with a handheld camera. He appears to be at some sort of water park -- there's a pool with synchronized swimmers, and bikini-clad girls dancing around. Next, we see people doing acrobatics, and men and women dancing. Justin joins them, and they all start dancing while standing in a shallow pool where the water only reaches up to their ankles. Next, Justin's singing underwater, there's more synchronized swimming, and we see a series of digital cameras placed underwater, with screens showing Justin singing.
Then a tutu-clad Nicki Minaj suddenly appears, standing on a runway in the middle of a swimming pool, spitting her verses as Justin begins gyrating next to her. Then more dancing, singing, swimming and splashing...and the video ends with Justin sliding down a water slide and going under.
Well-played, Biebs.

Fast-Paced Race to Witch Mountain Has a Few Sci-Fi Charms
- Friday, March 13, 2009
DVD Release Date: August 4, 2009
Theatrical Release Date: March 13, 2009
Rating: PG (for sequences of action and violence, frightening and dangerous situations and some thematic elements)
Genre: Sci-Fi/Adventure
Run Time: 99 min.
Director: Andy Fickman
Actors: Dwayne Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, Carla Gugino, Ciaran Hinds, Tom Everett Scott
Solidifying his career transition from beefy professional wrestler to a cuddly, kid-friendly actor, The Rock—I mean Dwayne Johnson—proves that while he's not the mostly likely candidate, he's also game to save the world if the job requires it.
Of course, Johnson's character Jack Bruno doesn't exactly have much world-saving potential. After several shady brushes with the law in the past, Bruno pursues life on the straight and narrow as a cab driver (and for the record, a rather disgruntled one) in Las Vegas.
While Vegas isn't probably the place most would choose for a new beginning, especially if your life's decisions have involved flexible morals, it's conveniently home to a Sci-Fi conference that particular weekend (a little detail that ends up playing out for Bruno's good) and curiously close to a place known for unexplained UFO sightings—Witch Mountain.
Now if Witch Mountain sounds a little familiar, it's because it is familiar to anyone growing up in the 70s. But instead of shooting for a straight remake of 1975's Escape to Witch Mountain with a few modern tweaks, the filmmakers prefer to call the latest installment a "reimagining." And given the slightly cheesy, low-grade special effects of Race to Witch Mountain's predecessor, not to mention opting for older children with "special powers" rather than younger ones, that's probably accurate.
Effectively setting the stage for the audience's curiosity, the opening scene features a slew of U.S. military and intelligence types racing to secure a site smack dab in the Nevada desert where a UFO has apparently crashed. It doesn't take long for the requisite nefarious leader to emerge (Ciaran Hinds) to make sure these aliens are not only captured, but experimented on, too.
Meanwhile, it's just another day in Bruno's bright yellow office/taxicab. Not long after driving an attractive Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino) to the aforementioned sci-fi conference at Planet Hollywood, where all the "believers" are dressed in amusingly futuristic character, Bruno discovers that his brief conversation with the astrophysicist will foreshadow the out-of-this-world experience yet to come.
Little does he know, but the otherworldly shenanigans would involve two seemingly harmless teens, Sara (a standout AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig). Just showing up in the back of Bruno's cab with a considerable stash of cash in tow, they want to be taken to a spot so remote that an experienced driver like Bruno hasn't even heard of it. But as long as they've got the cash, Bruno doesn't ask too many questions.
However, it doesn't take long for Bruno to notice the teens' slightly odd, robotic manner of speaking. While everything they say technically makes sense, it doesn't sound like the language of people who've called Earth home for the long haul. And possessing powers—like the ability to read minds or being able to pass through solid objects—certainly doesn't help their cause either. Before Bruno has too much time to investigate what's up with these strange 'lil creatures, he's mercilessly chased by the bad guys.
Watching the burgeoning relationships between Bruno, Seth and Sara is easily one of the movie's best features. With Seth wholeheartedly believing that humans can't be trusted, Sara takes to Bruno right way. And as the trio makes the inevitable race to Witch Mountain—with enough high-action car chases and unbelievable twists of fate than a Jason Bourne film—Bruno doesn't understand why he has to help these kids save their distant planet, but he just does.
Clearly, he's found something worth risking everything for. And while the rest of the story definitely falls into predictable territory, (the writers could have been significantly less heavy handed with all the just-suspend-your-disbelief "coincidences") Race to Witch Mountain is still an entertaining, thrilling ride that makes the most of Johnson's strengths—graciously being the butt of the joke while simultaneously being charming—all while the world is in peril.
- Drugs/Alcohol: None
- Language/Profanity: None
- Sex/Nudity: There's a little flirting between Jack Bruno and Dr. Alex Friedman, but nothing scandalous.
- Violence: Not for young children who scare easily, The PG rating comes from a slew of high-intensity car chase scenes, gunfire and scary situations as Jack Bruno, Sara and Seth are pursued by corrupt government agents, and later on, one very persistent Terminator-style alien who destroys anything in its path.

The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is lifting the ban on charcoal and wood fires in the city's mountain and desert preserves.
The ban will be lifted Oct. 15. The department is maintaining the ban on smoking outside of enclosed vehicles.
After the ban ends, visitors can use charcoal in established grills and have open fires in fire rings in picnic areas. They can continue to use propane and gas grills.
The ban was lifted because recent rains and cooler temperatures allow for safe use of charcoal and fires in established, developed areas.
The fire ban went into effect May 9 and applied to Camelback Mountain, Papago Park, all areas of the Phoenix Mountains, South Mountain Park/Preserve, and North Mountain and its adjoining areas. The fire ban did not apply to traditional city parks.
Cooler weather also means hiking season is here. Comprehensive information on the Phoenix preserve trails is available online at phoenix.gov/parks in the Trails and Preserves section.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— A woman interrupted a reading of the Constitution on Thursday, protesting that President Obama was ineligible for presidency.
Frank Pallone, D-NJ, was reading the "Natural Born Citizen" clause of the Constitution when a woman began yelling "Except Obama, except Obama, help us Jesus!" The woman is an apparent member of the Birther Movement. Members of the Birther Movement argue that President Obama was not born in the United States and is therefore ineligible for presidency.
Mike Simpson, R-ID, called the House back to order by banging the gavel several times.
"The chair would remind persons in the gallery .. the chair would remind all persons in the gallery that they are here as guests of the House and that any manifestation of approval or disapproval of the proceedings is in violation of the rules of the House. The chair notes the disturbance in the gallery in contravention of the law and rules of the House. The Sergeant at Arms will remove those persons responsible for the disturbance and restore order in the gallery. The gentlemen from Virginia," Simpson said.
The Sergeant at Arms then removed the woman from the room and reportedly told her she was under arrest.
Section 1 of Article 2 of the United States Constitution states:
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president."

Last issue I showed you the communications model of the Johari Window and related it to the critical process of Uncovery. The goal? To help a business uncover information about itself that is unknown to its potential customer base. Not just any old information, but emotionally powerful information, the kind that potential customers would find persuasive. This is the information that provides the foundation for a business's online objectives and suggests the strategies and tactics that will work best.
Suppose I sit down with you, my client, and ask you why folks do business with you. You'll probably swear to me that the reason is because "we've been family owned and operated for 25 years," or "it's our superior service," or "we provide exceptional value." But, actually, the truth lies hidden beneath these clichés.
Self disclosure occurs incrementally – the ability to disclose more about yourself increases over time, with familiarity. How many times have you simply met someone and immediately spilled your guts? Everything about yourself, your hopes and dreams, your passions? It's tough to dig deep when you feel the exchange is potentially threatening or hostile – even when the intention is opposite, it can feel like you against them.
I've learned that one simple fact hinders the uncovery process: most people are not good at self-disclosure. They are happy to talk endlessly about facts, but not emotions. However, answers like "family-owned," "superior service" and "exceptional value" don't generate terribly helpful uncovery information. Don't get me wrong, it's nice information. But it's not the bottom-line food-truth about your business that is going to get your visitors salivating for what you have to offer.
Ears actively tuned to the tiniest nuance of an answer, I'll persist: "Well what else could it be?" or "Your competitor offers the same thing, is there anything else?"
And here's what happens next: you start to get defensive. "I've been doing this for 20 years, I think I know my business better than you do." And you are absolutely right. In fact, I'm counting on that. But the more defensive you get, the more you close up, the less likely I am going to be successful uncovering your critical information.
It's a sensitive process. The experience of uncovery walks a fine line between being encouraging, yet challenging your belief about how others see you or your business.
"It is a delicate issue when we suggest to people who are bone honest, that the reality of how and what they are, may not be exactly as they see it. As in all things, truth and honesty are the strongly held private perceptions of the holder him or her self. They are not necessarily 'the truth' and at the same time, they are not 'lies'."1
But uncovery is about getting to the truth. So instead of asking questions that can make you uncomfortable – like "What is your unique value proposition?" – we ask open-ended questions, questions for which there are no right or wrong answers.
The brilliant thing about this technique is that these questions will encourage you to tell me stories. And when you tell a story, you are able to enter the world of emotion. When you tell a story, you unconsciously provide insights into your passions. When you tell a story, you can self-disclose without fear of providing a wrong answer.
The critical information an uncovery can reveal is not necessarily the sort of stuff that makes you drop your jaw in awe. While the way the insights relate can be complicated, sometimes the message itself is very straightforward.
Take this job company we are working with. They defined their objectives based on competition for resumes, thus they saw job boards as their primary model (stuff like Monster.com). During a conference call uncovery, together we were able to identify that this company was different because they were gathering resumes for existing jobs for which they were prepared to actually hire. They weren't brokering jobs – unlike job boards, these guys were hiring! And that has made all the difference. It was such a simple little piece of information – but one that had eluded an intelligent, multi-billion dollar company for years. Once the messaging changed to reflect this, results increased immediately by more than 75%, and now a complete redesign of the entire site will reflect this critical perspective.
And then there's a company we work with that sells foreign language courses. Through the uncovery, it became apparent that instead of focusing on the product itself, the message needed to focus on the people and the results of using the product. What was the real value of the language course? Ego, satisfaction, pride and self-actualization. Drilling deeper, past the facts and into the true emotional experience, took this company from rags to riches.
Think of your uncovery as a social experience – it's impossible to perform a true uncovery on yourself. You want to work with someone who has very good listening skills, is willing to take note of everything you say and exhibits a compassionate awareness for the commercial process in general and your piece of it in particular.
An uncovery should be managed sensitively, but to get the critical information, the exchange also needs to be challenging. You may know your business, but you may be completely unaware of your message. Don't be afraid to dig deep enough to find that diamond of information.
Will you allow the information your customers need to remain hidden, or will you uncover it so that it persuades them to buy?

Seemed to be close to night life. Was a pretty good deal compared to other prices.
Area peaceful
Easy access to downtown San francisco
I like the fact that parking wasn't excessive like other places...nice to have the option of continental breakfast. Location was decent as well.
Area was a bit sketchy..
It is near many places.
Close to transport, short tram ride to Fisherman's wharf.
Homeless being able to walk into breakfast room to get food. Must admit as soon as staff noticed they where there they did remove them but not before they had had some food, and stood in the guests way
My 7 days stay was comfortable - easy access to Bart station, clean room, and basic amenities.
The Wi-Fi is very poor, don't bank on it
location wifi reasonable quiet considering the big city friendly personnel close to public transport
breakfast facilities many lights not functioning interior outdated too little offered for the money but acceptable considering the big city
My wife is handicaped and was ill treated by the hotel staff. There were no WiFi facilities. The complementary breakfast was almost non existent. There are no restaurants in the vecinity.
Parking on-site, friendly staff, clean room, large updated bathroom, fridge/microwave in room
Very limited items for breakfast, overpriced room service, sketchy people walking around the property, dirty looking pool, thin walls, weak wi-fi, had problems with the coffee pot
big bed
no wifi !!!- parking fee charged without notice- unsafe at night( the guard boy is nearly 20 and sleeps behind desk) -high rates-if you have complaints "you can write an email to our manager"-i did , no answer
Really helpful reception. Spacious rooms. Car parking(free).
Location v ropey, especially at night. Lots of down and outs
The place was clean and comfortable and located in a fairly quiet area. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Market Street trams.
I was disappointed that the WiFi was not working at all during my 3 day stay which was one of the reasons I selected this location.
Price was reasonable for the location to downtown and access to highways Parking!!!
Wifi was poor, no gym but a small pool is available, breakfast selection was not great
Not to far from the center and a running washingmashine and dryer.
It was by far the worst hotel on our trip in a sordid quater!!!!Poor breakfast only until 9 a.m in an ugly surrounding and the waffelmaker was turned off at exactly 9 while I was waiting in the line for my turn. The pool couldn't be used before breakfast, because it was only allowed after 9 a.m.. The couch,in our room looked ugly,dirty,and it smelled bad. Moreover the staff was unfriendly, exept the cleaningwomen. Realy a bad hotel!!!...
Parking availability Close to most sites we had to visit. No traffic jam since we are already downtown.
Street noises are at high level (motorcycles, Trucks, etc) The room for breakfast is to small and to much people for only one toaster and one Waffle machine.
The manager (female) was rude. No customer service what so ever. If you don't fix your customer service your business will suffer
Expensive. Pool is on parking place, small, near the main street.Unusefull. Breakfast catastrophe. For one piece of toast you have to drag with 20 people... Pay 100$ "wellcome" insurance.
Parking Bed Cleaning
Breakfast area Very bad internet connection Location of hotel in bad street
Position is very handy to the center, staff is ok, cleaness of bathroom and room in general. The breackfast was ok.
The noise from the road, they give you earplugs for sleeping..the confort of the bed was poor (really old matress..).
the hotel was good value for money and the venue was nice
the staff was a bit abrupt and the security deposite was a bit steep
the bed was not totally bad
- The bathroom had a lot of damp patches - Dangerous homeless, sick and junkies everywhere at the neighborhood - The breakfast was everyday the same with poor variety. - At least three times in a week, homeless people got into the dining room, one of them looked angry even with the hotel stuff - Bad security measures - The hotel offers free wi-fi. This must be a joke. It worked very poorly in the lobby (from time to time) and not at all in the rooms.
The staff were very courteous and helpful! Hope they receive a bonus or at least cudos!
The street people digging in the garbage can within the compound late at night!
The place is affordable. It's clean and not seedy like some of the comparably priced alternatives. Decent location and free parking....
Their deposit is often more than the cost of the room and the money is not always credited back to your account right away. Can be a little frustrating if you are on a tight budget but it is hardly reason enough not to stay....
Loved the location to AT & T Park since we walked to and from.
Street Noisy from traffic but if you only plan on sleeping you won't hear a thing while asleep.

Although this recipe is introduced as having Spanish inspiration it has always been one of our favorites in my extended Italian family. Mama made it for us as after-school snacks with freshly baked bread from the baker down the street, still warm from the oven. I will say, however, that it was never thought of as a side, just a wonderful snack anytime of day or evening. Yum!

Reye syndrome, an extremely rare but serious illness that can affect the brain and liver, occurs most commonly in kids recovering from a viral infection.
Named after Australian pathologist R. Douglas Reye, who first reported it as a distinct syndrome in 1963, Reye syndrome is still not well understood. Studies have linked the use of aspirin (also called salicylates) or aspirin-containing medications during viral disease as a factor in the development of Reye syndrome.
Cases have dropped dramatically since this link was discovered and doctors started advising against giving aspirin to kids and teens, especially during viral illnesses.
Reye syndrome predominantly affects kids between 4 and 14 years old, and occurs most frequently when viral diseases are epidemic, such as during the winter months or following an outbreak of chickenpox or influenza B.
Duration varies with the severity of the disease, which can range from mild and self-limiting to, rarely, death within hours. Although severity varies, Reye syndrome is a potentially life-threatening disorder that should be treated as a medical emergency.
Early detection and treatment are critical — the chances for a successful recovery are greater when Reye syndrome is treated in its earliest stages.
The signs and symptoms of Reye syndrome are almost always preceded by a viral illness, such as an upper respiratory tract infection (a cold, the flu, etc.), a diarrheal illness, or chickenpox. Many cases are mild and may even go undetected; others can be severe, requiring aggressive care.
Reye syndrome can occur from 1 day to 2 weeks after a viral infection. The viral illnesses that lead to it are contagious, but the syndrome itself is not.
Symptoms include:
In the later stages, a child may exhibit irrational behavior, confusion, severe muscle weakness, seizures, and loss of consciousness. There is usually no fever.
Other symptoms include changes in vision, difficulty hearing, and abnormal speech.
Reye syndrome is now very rare: only a few cases a year are reported in the United States. It should be considered, however, in a child with frequent vomiting or a change in mental status or behavior — particularly if this occurs after a recent viral illness.
Aspirin and other drugs from the salicylate family should never be used in the treatment of chickenpox, influenza, and other viral diseases. Many over-the-counter (OTC) medications contain salicylates, so be sure to read the labels and talk to your health care provider if you're not sure whether a medication is safe for your child.
In general, aspirin (salicylates) should not be used for kids or teenagers except on the advice of a doctor for certain conditions.
Children with Reye syndrome are usually treated in a hospital; those who are seriously ill will be cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Treatment is supportive as there is no cure. The clinical care team focuses on making sure a child with Reye syndrome stays hydrated and maintains electrolyte balance, and monitors nutrition intake and cardiorespiratory status. Chances of recovery are greatest when these key systems are as balanced as possible. Tests that might be done include blood tests to monitor electrolytes and liver function and an imaging study of the brain (CAT scan or MRI).
Mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine or respirator) can be necessary if breathing becomes too slow or ineffective. Intracranial pressure (pressure of the fluid within the brain) and blood pressure might be monitored. Small quantities of insulin may be given to increase glucose metabolism, corticosteroids to reduce brain swelling, and diuretics to get rid of excess fluid. If seizures occur, they are treated with medications.
The prognosis for children with Reye syndrome has improved. Thanks to earlier diagnosis and better treatment, the survival rate has risen to about 80%. The earlier the syndrome is detected, the better the chances for survival. Children who progress to the late stages of the syndrome may suffer brain damage and disability.
If your child has vomiting, behavioral changes, or extreme sleepiness, especially after a viral illness such as the flu or a cold, contact your doctor or get medical help right away.
Of course, many kids with viruses will have some of these symptoms, and most will not have Reye syndrome. Nevertheless, early detection is the key to successful treatment of Reye syndrome.

Mission: We aim to bring cheer to the lives of DeKalb County area youth (ages 1-18), that are designated as "in need," through the donation of birthday boxes and by hosting monthly birthday parties at local agencies.
The idea behind Honors' long-term service project, new for the 2011-2012 academic year, is to collect shoe boxes and transform them into the ultimate birthday present for children ages 0-18 that have been designated as "in-need" in the DeKalb County area. All of the items we collect and use for Birthday Boxes have been donated by generous individuals in our community.
Interested in becoming part of this great service learning project? There are many ways for students, faculty, staff, and those in the community to help. We need volunteers to collect donations (e.g., shoe boxes, wrapping paper, toys), stuff and decorate boxes, make birthday cards, bake cupcakes, and come with us to deliver these birthday boxes and throw birthday parties for children at local organizations. Please review the dates below regarding these opportunities.
Can't attend a Birthday Box Event? You can always donate items to be used for Birthday Box making. We accept new toys, assorted gift cards, wrapping paper, and pantry items needed to bake cakes. Donations can be sent or dropped off in the University Honors office (Campus Life 110).
