Good News about Hispanic Grads
by Gary Jason | Posted June 24, 2013
Amid the ever-spreading presidential scandals, the country is focused on bad news in DC. So it is gratifying to report some good news nationally. The news is about a major improvement in Hispanic educational outcomes.
A report just released by the Pew Research Center shows that for the first time, a higher percentage of Latino high school graduates — an impressive 69% — is enrolling in college for this fall than are graduates identified as "white" (at 67%). Since the beginning of the 2008 recession, the percentage of Hispanic grads enrolling in college has steadily grown, while the percentage of whites has declined slightly.
More importantly, in 2011, the percentage of Latinos dropping out of high school hit a new low. Only 14% of Hispanics (aged 16 to 24) were dropouts, which is half the rate of a decade earlier (it was 28% in 2000). The dropout rate among whites also fell, from 7% in 2000 to 5% in 2011.
The Pew report suggests that this dramatic increase in Hispanic educational attainment is likely due to two factors. First, Hispanic families are increasingly cognizant of the fact that America has a completely knowledge-based economic system. A recent (2009) Pew survey found that nearly nine out of ten Latinos aged 16 or older agreed that a college degree is necessary to rise to the top in today's economy, which is a much higher figure than that for the general population (of which only three out of four agreed with the proposition).
Second, the recent recession hit Hispanic youth harder than it did white youth. Since the recession started, unemployment among Latino youth (defined as ages 16 to 24) has gone up 7%, as opposed to only 5% among white youth.
Indeed, while the Pew report doesn't note this, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data show with crystal clarity the correlation between educational attainment and unemployment. For example, the BLS records that the overall unemployment rate for the year 2005 was about 5%. But within that general figure was a wide difference among workers. For those with professional degrees, unemployment was a miniscule 1.1%; for those with doctoral degrees, it was only 1.4%; for those with master's degrees, 1.7%; for those with bachelor's degrees, 2.3%; for those with associate's degrees (community college degrees), it was 3.0%; for those with a high school diploma and some college, 3.9%; among those with only a diploma, 4.3% — still below the national average unemployment rate for the year. But among workers with no high school diploma, it was 6.8%, or over a third higher than the national rate. Even in a boom economy, high school dropouts are dramatically more likely to be unemployed.
And in 2009 — a year when the unemployment rate was 7.9% — the BLS data show that the employment gap between those with little education and those with more only widened further. That year, the unemployment rate among workers with professional degrees was 2.3%; among those with doctoral degrees, 2.5%; master's degrees, 3.9%; bachelor's degrees, 5.2%; associate's degrees, 6.8%; a diploma and some college, 8.6%; a high school diploma alone, 9.7%; and no diploma, 14.6%. This means that in a time of high unemployment, the unemployment rate among high school dropouts was nearly double the national average.
There is still work to be done to bring Hispanic educational attainment up to equality with that of whites. To begin with, while the Latino dropout rate has fallen by half during the last decade, it is still nearly three times the rate for whites.
Moreover, Hispanic students are still less likely than white students to enroll at four-year colleges, by a wide margin — 56% versus 72% — and are less likely to attend full-time, or graduate with a bachelor's degree.
And of course, both Latinos and whites trail Asians when it comes to enrollment in college: recent Asian high-school grads are enrolling in college at an astonishing 84% rate.
Still, the Pew report is very welcome news. One hopes that the members of Congress still desperately fighting immigration reform will read it, and think it over.

Please stop using "Hispanic" as a race. It is not. A "Hispanic" person can have any skin color and be of any race or combination of races.
These references to "Hispanics" mean nothing. It would be interesting to see the stats on poverty, incarceration, unemployment, unwed parenthood, marriage, etc., for White Hispanics and for Non-White Hispanics.

Tennessee Senate Passes Supermarket Wine Bill 23-8
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee state Senate has passed a bill to allow local governments to hold votes on whether to allow wine sales in supermarkets and convenience stores.
The measure sponsored by Republican Senator Bill Ketron of Murfreesboro was approved on a 23-8 vote after the companion bill was revived in the House this week.
The proposal would allow cities and counties to vote on grocery store wine sales as early as November, but wouldn't allow supermarkets to stock wine until at least July 2016.
The Senate version would require convenience stores to have at least 1,200 square feet to qualify for a wine sales license, while the House version would set that limit at 2,000 square feet.
Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey issued a statement saying the vote was a great step forward for the state.
"For the first time, citizens will have the opportunity to purchase wine in their grocery store if the current bill passes. There is still a long way to go but Tennessee is moving forward in expanding consumer choice and spurring economic growth with this common-sense, pro-market measure," said Ramsey.
Under current law, supermarkets can't sell anything stronger than beer.

Worry-free parenting in an app…?!
Watch this before reading further…
MamaBear from Mamabear App on Vimeo.
"Download the MamaBear app to give your children the freedom they need & get the peace of mind you deserve."
"Never have to worry about her wandering off with her friends"
"Spend less time checking his Facebook page and get alerted when he makes a new friend.. you can be notified of inappropriate language (you can set what this is so you could make it even more intrusive..) protecting your kids just got a whole lot easier."
I don't even know where to start.. seriously.. this is simply the most intrusive, controlling, inappropriate, boundary crossing and down right disrespectful piece of tech I can think of.
Teaching versus learning
Since I became a mum nearly 5 years ago, and a Non-Directive Play Therapist 4 years ago, I have experienced, both first and second hand, the anxiety and the eagerness parents have for their child to learn. Of course, we all want our children to learn and grow and flourish, but what I'm talking about is the emphasis that parents put on their child knowing 'stuff'. This stuff is 'tick box' stuff and ranges from farmyard animal noises to colours, numbers, letters and beyond.
When looking at how children learn, we know that they learn through play. This is fact, although many parents don't seem to truly believe it and don't trust that play is enough. I think fundamentally there is a whole generation of parents thinking along the wrong lines. A generation thinking about measurable, observable 'tick box' outcomes that have been drummed into us via a painfully outdated education system concerned with ticking those same boxes.

Stanford men's basketball: Who deserves All-Pac-12?
Among the Stanford Cardinal, who deserves a spot on the All-Pac-12 basketball team? This corner says nobody. Saturday's disappointing 58-57 loss to 11th-place Utah left the Cardinal (19-10, 9-8) in seventh place going into Sunday's regular-season finale against Cal. If things break right for the Cardinal, they could pass UCLA for sixth place and get […] [Read More]

With this master recipe, you can make classic sugar cookie cutouts or create dazzling variations with a few simple techniques and additions. Find instructions for creating chocolate, colored, striped, and marbleized dough variations below.
Instead of rolling out your dough on a floured surface, roll it out between waxed paper. The cookies will stay moist because extra flour is not incorporated during the rolling process.

In a medium-size bowl, mix the flour and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar, stir in the egg, then the corn syrup and vanilla extract. One third at a time, add the flour mixture until thoroughly mixed.
Pat the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll. If it is too firm, soften at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll one disk of dough between two pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap, 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top sheet and cut out the cookies with cookie cutters.
Using a metal spatula, transfer the shapes to baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies start to brown lightly around the edges. Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes.
Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to racks and cool completely before frosting and decorating. Makes 12 to 50 cookies, depending on their size.
Chocolate Dough: After the last third of flour has been added to the dough, mix in 1 ounce melted, slightly cooled unsweetened chocolate. Use your hands to knead in the chocolate.
Colored Dough: Divide the dough into portions and use a toothpick to add food coloring paste (available at party supply stores) to each one. Knead until the color is evenly distributed. For a flavor surprise, omit the vanilla extract and add 1 tteaspoon of lemon extract to the yellow dough, mint extract to the green dough, and strawberry extract to the red dough.
Striped Dough: This colorful dough is perfect for the Hat & Mittens cookies. Divide the cookie dough in half and tint each a different color. Pat each half into a rectangle, about 5 by 7 inches, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate or freeze until firm. Roll each piece between two sheets of waxed paper to form rectangles that measure 8 by 11 inches and are about 1/4 inch thick.
Stack directly on top of each other. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips about 1/2 inch wide. Turn each strip on its side with the stripes facing up. Place one strip near the end of a large piece of waxed paper. Press the next strip of dough parallel to the first strip, alternating the color. Place a piece of waxed paper on top of the stripes and roll over the top to make them adhere. Remove the top piece of paper and cut out shapes as desired.
Marbleized Dough: Lightly press together any scraps of the striped dough to achieve a marbleized look.

Moving with pets is not facile initiate. Some pets look impossible to move. Planning the whole move, you've found yourself out of ideas? Get advice and tips for moving with pets, obtained by people's experience.
Pets are undivided part of your life
Moving your house is actually moving your life. If you are planning a move overseas or you are moving out of state, there is always a way to do that without injure. Read real peoples' reviews of how they've moved with pets successfully. Contact highly rated companies to comprehend their insurance policy and methods, regarding moving pets. Here we will provide you with some general tips and info on how to do your pet relocation smoother. You can also fill the free moving quote to contact professional moving companies that can handle your requests and provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
We will cover these major aspects in this article:
- Moving with Birds
- Moving with Cats
- Moving with Dogs
- Moving with Fish
Moving with Birds Tips
Here are some advises when you are moving with pet birds:
- The first thing you should do after you decide moving with birds is to check the local laws. If you are moving out of state or internationally be aware that you might not be able to import certain species. Make sure your birds are not restricted in the state/country you are moving in. If not restricted, your birds may need health certificate to be checked at the airport. Contact your veterinarian to provide you with any documents you might need.
- You may be moving with pionus, ring necks, canaries, parrotlets, or amazons. They must be putted in a cage by their size. In fact, they can travel in their own cages if possible, but the access doors must be extra secured. You don't want them to accidentally open during transportation.
- Provide glare guards for the carriers to avoid direct sun light. Make sure there are enough openings so fresh air can come into the cage to prevent suffocation. The bird should see what's happening around.
- If you are staying in a motel, verify pets' permission to stay in hotels in advance when you are planning the moving route. Take the necessary precautions to avoid temperature fluctuation to the animal. Also provide air circulation, your bird needs air, just like you.
- Feed your bird during the travel. Make sure your bird pet has enough water and food for the journey. Traveling is fairly stressful for birds to be left hungry or thirsty.
Moving with Cats Tips
Wondering how to move with your cat? Here are some solutions:
Traveling with cats is a real challenge. People who are moving house with cats often complain it can't be done. Cats are sensitive about the environment and equilibrium. They are easy stressed when they have to be taken even to the vet. The mission can be accomplished.
- Get a larger carrier than usual. That way the cat won't be claustrophobic. A valuable advice is to get your cat familiar with the carrier way before the moving day. Keep the cat in the same room with the carrier. Another tip is to place the cat's food in the carrier for a couple of days.
- The day before the move you can place the cat in a boarding cattery. Cats can sense some changes are happening and they might get jumpy. Some catteries can be moved, so you can transport your pets easily in your car or van.
- If necessary speak with your veterinarian about sedatives, that won't harm the pet.
- Check ventilation and temperature of the carrier during traveling.
Moving with Dogs Tips
Dogs are attached to you, not to their home. They are easier to move than cats for example, but still there are some specifics.
How to move safe with dogs:
- Dogs can travel in carries, but they also can travel with you, side by side, in the car. Decide what is best for your dog by its temper or size.
- Take the dogs' toys, chew bones and blankets. They are so attached to these items and a free access to them will oil the wheels of your drive. Use the dog's own blanket and spread it on the carrier's bottom.
- Dogs will want to make stops to mark territory. If the pet get nervous during traveling this is a likely reason why. Don't be surprised.
- Dogs may get stressed the first time they travel for a large distance. Take your dog with you more often when travelling around the city. If the dog is acquainted to traveling it will be easier on the moving day.
- A couple of treats never harm.
- If you are moving locally, take the dog for a walk in the new neighborhood, before the final move.
Moving with Fish Tips
Answering the question: How to move my fish safely
- Find a right sized container – not too small, but not too big either. There have to be enough space for air to come in, but also enough amount of water to comfort you fish. Don't fill up the tank to the top. Plastic sealed boxes appear to be handy in a situation like that. You may also use your own tank if it can be insulated. In that case you need to bubble wrap it, put it in an additional box and to be extra sure, place it in a plastic bag to prevent leaks.
- If you are using your own tank remove any decorations, thermometers, heaters and sand. These will only burden the weight and might occur dangerous for your fish. They can hurt them badly.
- You may provide few tanks if necessary. Rate your fish's chances to travel safely according to their sizes and species.
- Before moving, change 20% water of the tank each day. These activities should start 2 weeks before moving day.
- To prevent water from contamination don't feed you fish at least 2 days before travel, on moving day and during the travel.
Make sure your fish is among the items you chose to travel with you in your vehicle if possible. You can supervision the state of your fish during the travel. The least you can do is to unseal the tank every 3-4 hours.
Feel free to comment tips and advices. Share your ideas and experiences on moving with pets. It could be a lifesaver for beginners.

IN THE BUFF: Bluefly, the off-price fashion Web site, is taking nudity to a level of absurdity with two TV ads that first aired on Wednesday's season premiere of "Project Runway." Nudity has been a theme in Bluefly ads previously, but there is a touch of Americana injected in this round. In one ad, it's Thanksgiving dinner with a nude woman raising a toast and her family acting as if nothing is amiss. Another spot has a woman waiting in the airport security line until she's asked to remove her shoes — the only thing she's wearing — before embarking to her gate.
The ads feature the voice of Brenda Strong, narrator of "Desperate Housewives," and were directed by Luciano Podcaminsky and created by advertising firm McCaffery Gottlieb Lane.
Melissa Payner, Bluefly's president and chief executive officer, said the ads speak to a common complaint among women: "Our closets are packed to the gills, yet we have nothing to wear."
The commercials will also run during "Gossip Girl" and "America's Next Top Model," among other shows. Previous ads depicted a woman dissatisfied with her wardrobe appearing at a party in the nude, and a couple getting ready for the theater but then dropping their tickets and clothes for another round of intimacy.

HALF A CENTURY: Eight years after publishing its first issue with only 16 ad pages, V Magazine recently hit the 160-page ad mark and is celebrating its 50th issue, which includes a 50-page portfolio from David Sims. Stephen Gan, editor in chief and creative director (as well as creative director of Harper's Bazaar), said the independent magazine has become "a creative showdown between photographers and stylists, but in a healthy way.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KFGO NEWS) -- The U.S. House has narrowly approved the farm bill.
House republicans took a risky step by carving out the food program--eliminating the food stamp part of the measure.
The move does not mean it eliminates food stamps, but that its focus is strictly on agriculture.
It's unlikely the democratic-led senate will go along with the Houseversion of the bill.
They proposed a measure with smaller cuts to food stamps.

- Roys- the worst with Opentable ptsMooberDined on 8/30/2014This is the 2nd time we've made reservations for Roys. The first time I never received my points. This time I had to wait nearly 2 weeks before I received my points from Roys from our second visit. I only noticed the points were rewarded because I have been logging into my account for the past few days. The service was wonderful and the food was good. I just cannot give Roys a decent rating because if they are using Opentable they should be on the ball (like other restaurants are) to issue the points right away and request a survey. I am only rating this restaurant because I had to log in to Opentable rather receiving an email to rate this restaurant. Disappointing
- Great place near convention areaMartinDined on 8/10/2014We were in town for a conference, and needed a place for 8 of us for dinner on a Sunday evening. Found this through Yelp, and then made the reservation through Open Table. A great find. Food was excellent, service was impeccable. We each had something a little different, but I heard wonderful reviews of all the dishes. I especially enjoyed the butterfish, which was a light fish with an excellent sauce. Excellent. With wine and dessert the cost was a little higher than we would have normally gone for, but really was worth every penny.Special Features:
- Roy'swingjVIPDined on 8/8/2014I've not been disappointed each and everytime. Hope to share this good experience again soon.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/8/2014The items I have tried have too much sauce for my liking but I'm sure other people like it. I just need to remember to ask for the sauce on the side. Quality of food is good.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/3/2014The food and portions were only ok. Service ok too.Special Features:
- Roy'swingjVIPDined on 8/1/2014A great place to meet friends / family for lunch or dinner since it is very accommodating for either large or small groups.Special Features:
- A Must Try the Hawaiian food!alohafusion2die4Dined on 7/15/2014I love their Miso Butterfish, my fave and cocktail drinks. Service is wonderful. overall the best....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food and servicevictorDined on 6/22/2014Great appetizers, drinks and food. Excellent service. Great choices in the menu too. Overall a great place to eat and take someone especial.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Modern Hawaiin influenced dishesSfbenDined on 6/17/2014Roy's is a great place for sophisticated Hawaiian influenced dishes in a classy environment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Father's Day lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 6/15/2014We have eaten at Roy's before and it had been wonderful in the past. Unfortunately we went there a few months ago to celebrate Father's day for my husband and it was very disappointing. It was not busy for lunch but it took 30 minutes to get our soup and when we got it, it was cold. The rest of the dishes were very mediocre. My family was very disappointed.
- returntripVIPDined on 6/6/2014Always a great meal whether here or in Pebble Beach. Blackened Tuna is to die for, as are the ribs. Delish!Special Features:
- The following 2237 reviews are from the Roy's - San Francisco reviews archive.
- Dependable restaurantLindaDined on 5/11/2014The food was good but a little expensive. The pot sticker was ok, didn't taste the lobster, but the poke, was delicious. The scallops were just ok, not tasty but The butterfish was good. We had chocolate soufflé which was good. Overall we felt the food was good but a little over price!Special Features:
- great experience!littlebrowngirlDined on 5/11/2014I took my sister and mom here for Mothers Day. There were 8 of us total with two kids. We came a bit early for aloha hour and the drinks we had were really good. I ordered the pineapple sangria, my boyfriend ordered the 1988, and my mom had a skinny margarita. It took a bit longer for the bartender to take our orders than I would have liked but the drinks made up for the wait. Our server was very courteous and did not "over-service" or "under-service" us. Not to mention, the food was delicious. Although, my sister and her husband did mention that the quantity was a bit small for the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch at Roy'sFrederickDined on 3/11/2014I have had many lunches at Roy's over the years; usually, someone else makes the reservations so i have not been called on for a review until now. it is an excellent restaurant with great food, service that is both efficient and friendly and a large dining room that is very attractive and comfortable. The food is imaginative and well-prepared and it is possible for two or more diners to order enough appetizers and sampler plates to give a clear experience of the kitchen staff's expertise. I love it and look forward to my next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedJerry3Dined on 3/9/2014It's been sometime since I've been there and found the quality of food and service had gone down. My prior experiences delivered a higher standard.
- Disappointing againPamelaVIPDined on 2/28/2014We had just eaten at Roys Rancho Mirage and it was 10 times better - food and service. The osso bucco was bland. The dinner plates were so hot that they kept cooking the food - my butterfish was mushy. Our coffee was served warm - NOT hot. We mentioned this to the waitress and our refills were also warm and NOT hot. This is the 3rd time we have been disappointed - we will not be back.Special Features:
- I felt it was very wrong toDougVIPDined on 2/26/2014I felt it was very wrong to accept a reservation for 6:30 (made at 6:15) and then when we arrived on time, to explain we would have to wait for 1/2 hour for the table. It got worse. The hostess explained that they had a private party reservation for 40 so the usual number of tables were not available and "I guess we should have blocked Open Table"
- Great food, but priceyBerkyDined on 2/4/2014The food and ambiance at Roy's is always great, but their prices seem to have gotten much higher, recently. It is usually relatively quiet to allow for good conversation, unless the place is full. Then it gets a bit noisier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 1/28/2014Hosted two others at Roy's. Since I've been to several other locations and liked the food and wine list, I figured it to be a no-brainer. It was. Food and service were excellent. The wine list, very large and has interesting finds, is a bit pricy. The noise level is a.bit high. Overall, a great place to host a business dinner.Special Features:
- The "Buttah" FIsh is Great...AlwaysFoodieChapVIPDined on 1/28/2014I've been to Roy's almost everywhere and this was my first venture to the SF location. My only criticism ever of Roy's was the locations of his restaurants. The only 2 standout locations I've ever been to were the Pebble Beach location at the Spanish Bay Inn and The Tavern at the Princeville Golf Course. Nonetheless, the food was amazing. Ahi appetizers were delish followed by the main course, "buttahfish" (pronounced as if with a Hawaiian accent).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- QualityJohnBDined on 1/18/2014Took my 2 1/2 year old along with new born. Lively restaraunt, great for kid noise and distraction. Parking is horrible in South Market business district. Impeccable service, great food,somewhat limited menu, nice wine list. Recommended, but does not compare to Roy's Pebble Beach.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First visit was a very pleasantTravellerVIPDined on 1/18/2014First visit was a very pleasant experience - food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful. Fish selection is quite varied and preparation of the butter fish was very tasty. Sufficient non seafood items are available for non fish lovers. Well worth a trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Overall but Food was LackingCharlesHVIPDined on 1/15/2014Been here before, loved location, vibrancy and attention to detail by the team; however, food seemed bland - especially for the price. Might be a better idea to load-up on appetizers and skip entrees.Special Features:
- A pleasant evening, vegetarian noteKeithSFVIPDined on 1/13/2014FYI for vegetarians, ask for the vegetarian menu which is separate from the regular menu. I ordered the teriyaki Portobello mushroom from that, but I have to say I was disappointed. Way too sweet for me. But honestly, the waiter suggested a tofu dish and I probably should have listened. My partner did enjoy the fish entrée he had though. We had a bottle of California sparkling and I thought the price was reasonable. Service was courteous, but I found it odd I had to ask for an ice bucket for the champagne. The waiter just set it on the table and I asked for the bucket next time he came by. We were there to celebrate a birthday and they brought a nice complementary dessert. We liked the ambiance quite a bit. Classy but not fussy.Special Features:
- ComfortableTravelingDined on 1/3/2014Roy's was a very nice place. The food was good and the service was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food... Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/2/2014During a recent vacation stay in San Francisco, we ate several fine restaurants. Roy's was the family favorite. All the dishes were unique and excellent. Plus, the service was top-notch. Would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Roy's Is Consistently GreatLLCDVIPDined on 1/2/2014I can always count on Roy's to deliver excellent food and service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seriously going downhill.....GlassgoddessVIPDined on 1/1/2014As much as I love Roy's in general, the SF location has gone downhill. Maybe it was because it was New Year's Day? I don't know but from the moment we walked in it felt different. first we were seated at possibly the worst table in the restaurant (we had reservations well in advance) and the restaurant was not full.-felt like we were sitting in the kitchen. I asked to be moved and they did move us - that was great. We ordered the spring rolls which were extremely greasy-I wanted to send them back but I didn't. I ordered the butterfish (which I always do) and it was totally different - not a good sear on the fish and extremely salty. Our server was borderline rude-I ordered a Hawaiian Martini first thing and she claimed I did not order it.
- Never DisapoinedgeepicDined on 12/30/2013This place is always amazing!!!! Amazing flavors! The butterfish is a must try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LocationdebbieVIPDined on 12/21/2013Good location dining for events at Yerba Buena- Food was better than I expected for a chain.Special Features:
- Roy'swingjVIPDined on 12/3/2013Delicious -- experience always consistent, and will visit often.Special Features:
- ScrumptiousRudolphVIPDined on 12/1/2013My friends and I have parties here, especially for birthdays. Growing up in SF, my favorite Roy's has to be here of course. Yes, I've been to Hawaii's and Ko Olina, I still love SF. Even if I choose to dine with a girlfriend, my husband, or our kids, Roy's SF accommodates. Customer service is always stellar, I enjoy every meal. I love the variety of drinks and wines. Can't go wrong with Roy's SF, it's the place to be. I would choose to take my husband's clients here, and afterwards, enjoy a stroll around the neighborhood - many sights to see and things to do. Hands down Roy's of SF is my fave!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, but expensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/25/2013The butterfish is really yummy, but $35 for the "full portion" is still quite small
- Great eveningBigEaterVIPDined on 11/17/2013Fantastic dining experience. Wait staff was knowledgeable, fun and attentive. Food was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Celebrated Mom's BirthdayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/13/2013It was our first time here and it was beautiful. We loved the extra decorations and menu print out for Mom's birthday. The food was perfect and our drinks were great. I don't remember our waiters name. He was attentive when he was helping us, but he would disappear for a long time between ordering appetizers, drinks, and our main course. Our dinner ended up being 3 hours.Special Features:
- Great food, but hard to see insideOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/10/2013I always enjoy eating the delicious food at Roy's. Unfortunately, it's always so dimly lit inside for dinner that I feel like I have to strain my eyes to see the menu (and my eyesight isn't even that terrible!). It also took a very long time for food to be served, but fortunately, my party wasn't in a huge rush, so the food was worth the wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic RestaurantSFLady78Dined on 10/19/2013The title of this review is admittedly simple, but fantastic sums up all aspects of this restaurant. The food is fantastic - prepared perfectly, fantastic flavors and fantastic presentation. Beautiful ambiance that somehow captures the island feel, while still being extremely professional and first class. I would go here all the time if I could - a fantastically executed restaurant in almost every way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeFoodieSFDined on 10/16/2013Love that place. Everything is great. 4 stars because tables are too close. Way too close.Special Features:
- AmazingexcellentVIPDined on 10/8/2013We were visitng SF and found this to be excellent. We would visit again.Special Features:
- Very DependableEimsaiyanVIPDined on 9/26/2013Having been to the Roy's in Hawaii I felt we had to see if the experience was commensurate so we decided to try it. While the food was certainly good, it didn't seem to be as extraordinary by comparison especially when compared against the plethora of other excellent options in San Francisco. That said, both of our meals were very good and the wine list was stocked with a few Napa Valley wines we had previously tried during our tours there which was a treat. At any rate if you are looking for a place you can expect to be good without being too adventurous you can rest assure Roy's will not disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Some welcome news for Long Island Rail Road riders. Beginning May 14, half-hourly midday service will be restored on the on weekdays between the morning and evening rush hours, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said Friday.
Back in September 2010, service was reduced to hourly trains in an effort to fill an $800 million budget gap. When the cuts took place, the LIRR said it would monitor ridership patterns and make adjustments, as needed.
Yet travelers seemed to respond to that schedule by avoiding the railroad. LIRR research revealed a loss in ridership, by as many as 180,000 rides annually.
Now the LIRR aims to woo back its passengers with the the half-hourly service.
Fares will remain the same, an MTA spokesman told Patch.
In addition, there will be no additional train crew cost. And the anticipated revenue generated from the expected increased ridership will offset any other costs.
Eastbound: The seven restored eastbound trains will depart Penn Station at 19 after the hour, from 9:19 a.m. through 3:19 p.m. These are in addition to the eastbound trains at 49 after the hour, which remain unchanged.
The LIRR hasn't yet revealed when the restored Westbound trains will be leaving from Bayside.

Enlarging the managed network services opportunity through virtual CPE
Virtual business CPE has the potential to create a win-win situation for small and midsize businesses and network operators. Small and midsize businesses are trying to develop network-centric business models, but networks present challenges that are beyond these businesses' managerial and technical capabilities. Service providers, on the other hand, would like to offer managed network services to smaller businesses, but they are struggling to drive service delivery costs down to a point where services are both attractively priced and profitable. Virtual CPE can resolve this dilemma by increasing network service velocity while reducing initial and recurring service costs.

The Associated Press obituary for Ernest Borgnine led with a statement about the Oscar-winning actor's usual character – the "heavy" – and called him a "beefy screen star known for blustery, often villainous roles." But the performances his fans are remembering in the wake of his July 8 death are more than just the tough-guy parts. Borgnine's career was varied indeed, with memorable roles in comedy, romance, and even kids' TV – and that's why his fans loved him.
Ernest Borgnine, publicity photo for McHale's Navy (Wikimedia Commons/Milburn McCarty Public Relations)
The day after Borgnine's death, we're reading condolences shared in the online Guest Book. It's interesting to see which of Borgnine's movies and TV shows his fans refer to as they mourn his loss – and not surprising that they love his lighter roles, just like we do.
Many messages left in Borgnine's Guest Book recall one of his most famous roles:
To The Family of Ernest Borgnine-Please know that he was loved and I have the memories of "McHales Navy" to last forever. I know your memories will hold you now and forever as well. God Bless you and your family and thank you for sharing him with us all these years. ~ Marie St.Clair, Snellville, Georgia.
In McHale's Navy, Borgnine played a commanding officer who was far from a tough guy, leading a group of rather relaxed sailors on an island paradise.
Other fans refer to the role that won Borgnine a best-actor Oscar, that of a lonely man who finds love:
You will be missed. Marty was one of the best movies I ever saw, and will never forget the great job you did in it. ~ Jim Greco, Spring Hill, Florida
Younger fans – and parents of younger fans – remember Borgnine's voiceover work on cartoon favorite Spongebob Squarepants. Borgnine's superhero Mermaid Man was Spongebob's idol.
Ernie was an eternally youthful man. Even when performing the voiceover for his elderly Mermaid Man character, he had to "sound older" (with a raspy voice) at the age of 95! We will miss his joyful exhuberance. Lord bless his entire family. ~ Donna Evers, Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey
But Ernest Borgnine's longest-running role wasn't in a movie or a TV series – it was a once-yearly turn as the Grand Clown of Milwaukee's Great Circus Parade. Borgnine wore the makeup and the funny shoes for 30 parades.
You will be dearly missed Ernie, in all of your roles, but I remember you most, as a clown, in the Great Circus Parade in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. May the good Lord hold you in His embrace. ~ Anonymous

Staff Search and Selection
The Human Resources team supports you throughout the search and selection process to attract and recruit a diverse and talented workforce. Your HR Partner serves as your consultant—not only during the search process, but also in other HR-related areas in which you may need assistance. You should work closely with your HR Partner especially when recruiting for staff positions.
Talent Management System (TMS)
The Talent Management System (TMS) is your resource/tool for creating and submitting job requisitions for approval, reviewing applicants for your job searches, and documenting the final hiring decision.
Search and Selection Process
Approval to Recruit
The first step in the search and selection process is to obtain the approval to recruit for an open position. This process has three components as follows:
Determine Business Need - New or Replacement?
Perhaps you have an opening on your staff due to a promotion, resignation, or transfer, or your department is growing and you believe you need a new position. This is an excellent opportunity for you to assess the talent you require to reach your short and long term strategic goals. Contact your Human Resources Partner to discuss your overall business and staffing needs.
Job Profile
A job profile is an essential document that accurately reflects the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and reporting relationships of a particular position. The job profile must be reviewed and updated, or created, and forwarded to the designated Human Resources Partner for appropriate job classification and current market data. To review/update an existing job profile, access the HR Job Profile Library via Murphy Online. Login to Murphy Online, select the Employee Services tab, and select HR Job Profile Library.
Position Requisition
Appropriate approval is required to fulfill your hiring needs. The position requisition combines a summary of the business need, job profile, and budget information for approval and recruitment purposes. The position requisition is submitted via the Talent Management System (TMS). The job profile must be reviewed prior to submitting the position requisition.

Approval to Hire
Determine Salary Offer
Once the hiring official identifies a final candidate and has completed the reference checks then an appropriate salary offer is determined. In determining the salary, consideration is given to the candidates education and experience and the pay rates of other employees within the hiring unit who perform similar jobs and who have similar education and experience. The salary offer must be within the approved hiring range. Contact your HR Partner with questions.
Request Approval to Make Offer
The hiring official completes the approval to hire form within the Talent Management System. The form is submitted to the appropriate individual within the hiring official's reporting structure for approval. After obtaining the appropriate approvals the hiring official extends a verbal employment offer to the top candidate.
Employee Action Form
After the verbal offer has been accepted, the hiring official submits an Employee Action Form (EAF). Submitting the EAF triggers HR to begin the onboarding process (i.e. offer letter, new hire paperwork information from Human Resources, email/account activation).
Managers Checklist for Completing the Hiring Process
The Managers Checklist For Completing the Hiring Process provides you with next steps and helpful suggestions on how to welcome your new employee. Being prepared for your new employee will make a great first impression and help them become productive earlier.

The tapping the status bar to go to the top of a page annoys me. Which has nothing to do with the banners
The banner dismiss is actually just notification center being pulled down a bit because the banner works like the tab that appears if there's no status bar.
10/10. And I read #6 has been debunked by none other than idb. I've tested it. No go.
When I saw the articles title, I Didn't expect much from it, but I was wrong! Didn't know about the banners, but am wondering if it's compatible with tweaks that affect the banners... I'll find out soon enough! I'll be giving the home button thing a go to, although my hopes aren't high for th one. I'll report back if I get any results!
Regardless of #6 being treated as a "placebo". That trick has my home button responding ridiculously good. It was not like that prior. ...whatever.
I didn't know about 2 and 8 and I've been using my iPhone since 2010 haha
I swear that touching the status bar to scroll to the top has been a feature since iOS 2?!?! If you didn't know that then you should be shot for being an inadequate human...
i thought i would know all these but i learned about force quitting and dismissing banners never knew these
i didn't know about the swipe to camera roll. neat!
But don't know this a bug or what on IOS 5, please test your left speaker have sound or not when your iPhone playing music, because I testing iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, the left speaker was mute. (test it: closed your right speaker with your thumb)

I am not from "space telecom/satellite industry" but to some extent understand the rigor behind multiple phases of prototyping, reliability calculation, testing as the equipments you design can't afford to have a failure causing loss of function and can't afford to come back for a "repair or replacement" :). It is pretty interesting to know the 'Model Philosophy' behind your job.
I am from the industrial background and the design philosophy differs a bit. Money is a factor here and also time to market. Hence things are done in shorter time, spending less on numbers of prototype passes but certainly not compromising with the "needed" quality. Again, there are certain applications such as "Functional Safety" where the failure of a system could cause hazard to human lives or loss of properties...there we also practice similar kinds of rigor...we do HAZOP, FMEDA etc. to calculate probability of failures and follow standards (such as IEC 61508) to avoid "systematic faults", design necessary diagnostics or build redundancies to maintain required "Safety Integrity Level"...also we need to go through assessment by independent agencies (as TUV) and approvals. You might have heard about Functional Safety (IEC 61508).

I'll bet a million dollars this show won't reveal things about 'The Roswell Crash' that this presentation (below) reveals in less than 90min. If you really want to know just what the heck is going on (past, present, future), you should strap yourself in and watch this to its conclusion... I started the below link off at Part 2, because the first part is mostly intro and setup, but watch part one if you want.

Outfoxed, Film Exposing Fox News As Right-Wing Propagandists, Is Rereleased With New Section
By Robert Greenwald for AlterNet
A dozen years ago, as the U.S. was pulled into war in Iraq by President George W. Bush, Fox News was not just any television network. It proudly blared the White House's lies coming with singular warmongering fervor. Remember? The terrorists had ties to Iraq. Saddam wanted the bomb. Saddam had the bomb. He could hit us in 45 minutes.Read more
Debtor's Prison: A New Reality?
By Steve1960 for DailyKos
Making the case that American capitalism oppresses the white middle class was a tough sell back when I was a wee lad. For one thing, the thirty five percent of the American workforce that belonged to a union (and most of the rest who experienced the obvious "knock on effect" of a union scale wage) would strongly disagree. Today the story is much different. Such looming threats to the US middle class as predatory lending, union busting, changes in the bankruptcy laws that favor creditors, higher regressive local taxation and the shipping of jobs overseas all pale in comparison to the one only beginning to rear its ugly head: debtors prison! In all honesty, people aren't actually sent to prison specifically for unpaid debts. But more and more are being sent for "violating a court order" to pay or for simply failure to appear in court when being sued for debt repayment. A report by popular radio show host, Thom Hartmann contained these harrowing lines;Read more
Outfoxed: 10 Years Later
By New Hounds Ellen for Crooks and Liars
You may think that Fox's bias has always been common knowledge but it was the 2004 documentary Outfoxed that brought it front and center and put a stake through the heart of Fox's "fair and balanced" mantra. As one of the researchers for the film, I am so proud to have been part of that effort.Read more

Workers Resist Scofflaw Employers in Wage Theft Capital of the US
By Jordan Melograna for Truthout
A hundred years ago, labor leaders fought for all the protections we know and rely on today in the workplace - safe conditions, the 8-hour workday, overtime pay and the ban on children in factories. These are rules so obvious today that is seems fantastical that people once had to march in the streets to get them. Yet, today, something even more fundamental is under attack. Workers are seeing their wages stolen by their bosses, with little recourse to do anything about it.Read more

imprisonment, assault and armed robbery. Twenty-year-old Samantha Menerey is
also charged in the case.

The WQLZ Music Minute--Music news written by Bishop for 92.7 WQLZ, The Rock Station
Tool member injured
There's word that a member of Tool got injured while riding a Vespa and that could delay a new album. You, like me, are asking what the hell is a Vespa … well, it's an Italian made scooter. The accident reportedly happened on icy roads and the unidentified member is said to have several broken bones. We know that guitarist Adam Jones was on TV this weekend getting engaged, and Maynard is revving up for a release from Puscifer and a show in South America with A Perfect Circle. A release from the band says because of the band member's injuries directly affecting their instrument playing abilities, so we think it's possibly drummer Danny Carrey, but we can't be certain. The release says after the trip to the hospital and a rather quick healing process, the band got back to jamming on a new record last week. We'll keep you posted on details as we get them.
Preparing new album
Sick Puppies say they have narrowed down a new album from 70 songs. Bassist Emma Anzai says on Tumbler that the band has been super productive and they may release more than just the 12 tunes on a forthcoming album, but they are perfectionists so they still have to work out all the details about what will be on the new album. Still no word on a release date for the new attempt but it would be the first for Sick Puppies since they released Tri-Polar in 2009.

Navarro on SVU
His last appearance was on a PETA ad where he was naked and there were, what appeared to be, chunks taken out of his flesh. Now Dave Navarro is on an episode of Law and Order: SVU. TVGuide.com says the rocker will play a sound engineer who witnesses a crime. Navarro tweeted earlier this week saying he was on his way to hang out with Detective Benson for the day. His last acting gig was on Sons of Anarchy last year.

MADISON, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) The Wisconsin Assembly speaker says he does not want to ram through a bill that takes away most local government authority to regulate frac-sand mines. Republican Robin Vos said yesterday his majority would wait until next spring to take up the measure.
Senate Republican Tom Tiffany of Hazelhurst proposed it last week. He said frac-sand miners are tired of dealing with a hodge-podge of restrictive local ordinances -- and it would be a lot easier for them if Madison took control. Vos says he favors the measure, but he wants to thoroughly review all the possible effects.
Tiffany's bill would nullify a State Supreme Court ruling from last year, which allowed towns to use police powers to regulate things like blasting, and the hours that frac-sand mines could operate. The new bill would still let communities use zoning powers on mining projects -- but many towns don't have their own zoning. Also, town and county officials are concerned that the bill would strike down their agreements with frac-sand companies on their load limits for trucks -- which seek to prevent damage to highways.
Wisconsin has about 115 frac-sand mines, most in the western half of the state with the type of extremely-fine sand that oil-and-gas companies want for their drilling equipment.

Exploring has never been less stressful, or so comfortable
Whether your path takes you through urban chaos, mountain serenity or desert enchantment, the Kawasaki KLR™650 motorcycle is the platform world travelers have chosen for over 21 years. With its legendary reliability, long distance fuel efficiency, usable performance and startlingly low price tag, the Kawasaki KLR650 is simply a smart choice for today's rider.
The rugged and proven 651cc motor is the foundation of the KLR650's globetrotting prowess. An all-around performer, the single-cylinder four-stroke engine provides quick throttle response and healthy low-end grunt – ideal for tight trails or dealing with traffic snarls. Equally impressive, the KLR's composure at highway speeds makes long distance travel a pleasure.
Matching the engine's abilities every step of the way is the KLR650's suspension. The 41mm fork with 7.9 inches of suspension travel up front and UNI-TRAK® linkage system with 7.3 inches of wheel travel in the rear combine to make the KLR650 a fun, functional commuter during the week and an adept back road blaster on weekends.
Braking duties are handled by a dual-piston caliper gripping a 280mm petal-style disc at the front and a 240mm petal-style disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper at the rear. This suspension and brake package boosts the KLR650's on-road performance, without diminishing its versatile off-road capabilities.
Helping make the KLR650 a worthy touring companion is an expansive, saddlebag-friendly, rear luggage rack that can be fitted with a tail trunk. A large 6.1-gallon fuel tank and exemplary fuel economy mean the KLR650 can cover an amazing amount of ground between fill-ups.
That fuel range can translate into a long day in the saddle, so good wind protection is a must. This important job is handled by the frame-mounted bodywork, which includes a tall windscreen and large shrouds. Rider comfort is enhanced further by the seat design and plush urethane foam. A high-capacity 36W alternator pumps out enough juice for a high-output headlight and has the extra capacity to power the add-on electronic gadgets no touring rider can live without.
The KLR650's competent on-road performance continues once the pavement stops. A tough engine guard keeps loose rocks and gravel at bay while its U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor grants the KLR650 access to any terrain open to licensed vehicles. Add the optional Kawasaki tank and saddle bags and you have a recipe for long-distance exploration, beckoning KLR650 owners to enjoy on and off-road adventures.
