Jackson County voters will go to the polls next month to consider approving a sales tax to fund medical research, and it has created strong emotions on both sides.
The half-cent sales tax would pay for a new translational medicine research facility on Hospital Hill. Translational medicine is a discipline within biomedical and public health research that aims to improve the health of individuals and the community by "translating" findings into diagnostic tools, medicines, procedures, policies and education.
If approved, the tax would allow doctors at St. Luke's and Children's Mercy hospitals to apply cutting-edge treatment and care to patients.
"No matter what may be your health challenge, you can get that challenge met successfully in the KC area," said David Westbrook, a senior vice president for Children's Mercy.
That's the goal at least – to bring the latest in clinical trials and other patient care research to Kansas City.
"The kind of research we'll be doing will deliver a higher quality of care to the community," Westbrook said.
He also contends that the tax will create additional jobs.
"The real return we are talking about here is not just a financial return. The real motivation for doing this is how it stimulates the economy because of the jobs that will be created and more important how it creates a better quality of care for patients in this community," he said.
But the Greater KC Restaurant Association doesn't think taxpayers should bear the cost.
"There's no doubt that medical research is a viable and needed opportunity throughout the country, not just Jackson County, but the taxing mechanism in which they're seeking for this just doesn't sit right with the residents here," Jason Pryor with GKCRA said.
The tax would raise $40 million annually over 20 years with a projected $30 million return on investment in the first ten years – a profit Pryor just doesn't see as beneficial.
"If it adds $30 million, I think this tax raises $800 million over the course of it's time," Pryor said.
The restaurant group is opposing it in part because in some areas such as the Kansas City Power and Light the tax on a meal could be almost 13 percent, making it one of the nation's highest sales taxes.
Children's Mercy would oversee half of the research, the University of Missouri at Kansas City and St. Luke's Hospital would oversee 20 percent each. A remaining 10 percent of the money would go to training programs.
"It will also deliver opportunities for those products and services that are designed to be commercialized," Westbrook said.
If any research findings lead to a product or cure, Jackson County would receive 20 percent of the net profits.
The election on Question 1 will be held in a special session Nov. 5. It will cost taxpayers $850,000 to open polls that day.

After five days and nights of action, we already find one team on the brink of being eliminated from the 2011 NHL playoffs. Following Sunday's 3-2 loss in Chicago, the Blackhawks now stand one game away from being given the broom treatment by the Canucks.
But before they drop the puck on Tuesday night however, we will know if Vancouver will be without the services of Raffi Torres who delivered a ferocious shot to the head of Brent Seabrook behind the Chicago goal. Torres was playing his first game since returning from a four-game suspension after a similar hit on Edmonton's Jordan Eberle.
Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville certainly thinks Torres deserves more time to sit and think about what he has done. After the game he said, "I thought it was a major [penalty] live and after seeing the replay, clearly".
Either way, the Fat Lady may be delivering her first performance of the spring tomorrow night in the windy city.
Elsewhere around the league…a pair of other teams will look to go up three games to none in their series tonight. The Montreal Canadiens have taken a 2-0 lead on the Boston Bruins behind Carey Price's 65 saves on 66 shots performance in the first two games. It took the Bruins 87:38 to finally slip one past the Habs netminder, Patrice Bergeron doing the honors for Boston.
Meanwhile, the Big Red Borg travel to Arizona for games three and four after taking the initial pair of games back in Detroit. The Coyotes just fell short of their comeback bid Saturday, losing 4-3 after surrendering four goals to the Wings in the first 21:11.
Tonight's action will also include game three of the Penguins vs. Lightning and Sabres vs. Flyers series. Both of those are knotted at one game each.
Elsewhere, the Rangers won their all-important game three with the Washington Capitals Sunday afternoon to close the gap on the Caps. Game four is Wednesday night and New York will look to tie that series up.
Back out west, the Kings bounced back from their overtime loss to San Jose and blanked the Sharks 4-0 in game two. Jonathan Quick stopped all 34 shots he face Saturday night to earn his first NHL playoff shutout. That series now heads to L.A. for the next two games.
And the Nashville / Anaheim series is turning out to be as much fun to watch as I thought it's be. Last night the Predators made Mike Fisher's goal halfway through the third period stand up as they fought off the Ducks. They take a 2 games to 1 lead into game four on Wednesday evening.
AHL Schedule Modifications
Here's something else to discuss if you wish. Last week the AHL Board of Governors approved modifications to the league's schedule and playoff format. Starting this fall, teams will play 76 games. Each team will lose two home and two away games.
Eliminated are any possibly scenarios where four games would be played in a five-day period.
Also, the first round of next year's AHL playoffs will be a best of five series, instead of a best of seven.
AHL President and CEO Dave Andrews explained the reasoning behind these modifications saying, "As our league has grown and our game has become faster and more physical, the wear and tear on our players has begun to affect player development and at times the quality of competition. These steps are intended to provide a safer environment for our players through increased rest and recovery time, and also to provide our fans with an even higher caliber of play as a result of reduced player fatigue."

It really is surprising that the AHL plays that many games. I know the Thrasher's prospects play for a team that does not ascribe to being a developmental team, but for organizations like the Red Wings that work to develop new talent even 76 games and a long playoff schedule is a lot of wear and tear on young bodies.
April 18th, 2011
10:21 am
The Big Red Borg, that is classic!
April 18th, 2011
10:34 am
I just heard that the Bruins may put Tuuku Rask in nets for game 3 in Montreal tonight. I sure hope they panic and do that, what a blunder that would be. They have the best goaltender in the league and the thought of them putting in Rask would be unbelievable as a habs fan. I'm just loving the panic attacks right now by the Bruins…yah, stick in Tuuku and it'll be 3-0 at the end of the 1st, and 3-0 in the series shortly thereafter…
April 18th, 2011
10:35 am
ZAvalanche, I like the BlogMaster's name for the Wings too, "The Big Red Borg". It's very fitting for that organization. Seeing as you're new around here, maybe you'll appreciate this:
Of couse we thumped them that night. Seems like years ago though.
Regarding the playoffs, I have to say I am most impressed with what Montreal has done against the Bruins so far. Good defense and timely goalkeeping equals success in the postseason. That's exactly what Habs fans are being treated to right now. Boston faces a must-win game.
April 18th, 2011
10:36 am
Moe, agreed. That would be a huge mistake. Boston's problem isn't between THEIR pipes, it's between Montreal's. They need to concentrate on that end of the ice.
April 18th, 2011
10:38 am
I am really surprised by Montreal, Boston has to be a bit worried. That is not the upset I expected – at all. Some of the series have been fantastic, still bummed about the LA SJ series, I thought it would be more fun to watch. Detroit is always scary, even if they are a low seed.
April 18th, 2011
10:44 am
good morning,
i really think that the canucks are going to destroy anything in their path. i was thinking yesterday while going through the nyt, is there / could there be a reason kovy, a dynamic offensive player, either misses the playoffs or makes early exits? is there really something to the idea that he is bad for team defense?
April 18th, 2011
10:46 am
hockeygoon79, exactly. Bruins just need to get the first goal and then they can shut things down like the Habs were doing in the first two games. Their defence needs to stop giveaways in their own zone too, Thomas was a sitting duck on a couple of the habs goals..
April 18th, 2011
10:51 am
When you watch Montreal with their speed and finesse, you sort of wonder why the Thrashers never developed that way, having heard that it was their goal to Be that way. uuuuuuurrrrrrrp!
April 18th, 2011
10:52 am
oh yeah, 10th and 11th.
April 18th, 2011
11:15 am
Vancouver looks like they're the real deal. I think the only team that might have a chance to keep them out of the finals is Detroit. I look for these two to be in the WCF.
San Jose is struggling against a Kings team that should be brushed aside. Although I think LA is playing very well on defense and Quick has looked sharp too.
Can't say enough about Price and the Habs. Boston better snap out of it or they'll be this year's choke job.
Nashville and Anaheim has been great series to watch. Two equal teams slugging it out. I hope this one goes 7.
The Rangers are hanging tough with Washington but I think they'll fall just short.
Flyers and Sabres and Lightning Pens are both interesting series. Could go either way.
NHL playoff hockey. THIS is what it's all about!
April 18th, 2011
11:17 am
In regards to the Canucks BlackHawks series, I must say that 3-0 is a bit surprising. There are times during all three games that the Blackhawks had unbelievable scoring chances. I just can't see the Blackhawks going out without a fight. They'll win the next two, but then lose game 6 in Chicago in overtime.
April 18th, 2011
11:31 am
Playoffs have been fun to watch, always reminds me that everything is cranked up a couple levels.
And of course reminds me of how far the Thrashers are from competing at that level.
April 18th, 2011
12:03 pm
you should maybe think about having someone edit your writing…
the red wings are not going back to arizona for games 4 and 5… they're going back there for games 3 and 4 last time i checked.
April 18th, 2011
12:04 pm
Hawks are missing the grit, just not there this year. Ladd and Buf brought a lot of that, good stratgery by the Canuckleheads to be hitting all the time. The more I see Bieksa and Ehrhoff, the more I want one of them here, get 'er done.
April 18th, 2011
12:06 pm
Moe posted: "I just can't see the Blackhawks going out without a fight."
I think they have fought extremely hard in all three games, but Vancouver is just a better team! The Blackhawks were outshot by just one in both games in Vancouver and outshot the Canucks by six last night. Interesting that the Canucks have only had six PP opportunities to the Hawks 12 in three games.
Don't think this one will last to a Game 6.
April 18th, 2011
12:16 pm
Hawks let too many good opportunities get away from them especially in Game 3. Should have been 3-0 at the end of one. Seabrooke took the big, dirty hit and skated away.
Torres should be banished for the balance of the playoffs, enough of this garbage. Watch footage of 70's and 80's game and you just didn't see that stuff. If a player did what Torres did back then he'd get his head kicked in.
J/F-entire Canucks defensive corps underrated, all of them. Bieksa will make alotta money this summer.
April 18th, 2011
12:20 pm
A scoring forward this summer? I know we don"t spend money but, the best way to get an impact player in here after July 1 is with an offer sheet. Will it happen? Probably not, but the offer sheet is now the fastest way to get an impact player and not paying him for past results, but future potential.
April 18th, 2011
12:21 pm
Brian Boucher will start tonight in Game 3 for the Flyers. Leighton, not Bob, is the back-up.
Have to think Thomas will start tonight for Boston, but the leash will be a short one.
James Mirtle says Julien's future behind the bench is hinged upon tonight's game.
"If they can't rally in this series, starting with a win tonight, and Julien is thrown overboard, this will be his third firing in the six seasons since the lockout."
April 18th, 2011
1:08 pm
Torres is gonna feel the wrath from the league office because the puck was there next to him and playable, but instead he ignored it, and left his feet and went after Seabrooks head. The purpose of checking is to separate the man from the puck…Torres was just trying to separate the man from his head.
April 18th, 2011
1:11 pm
….aaaaaaand right as I post that, the league decides not to look into the matter. So now one of two things occurs – 1. He gets demolished by a Blackhawk, or 2. Vignault decides he's to risky to play and lets him sit in the press box.
April 18th, 2011
1:20 pm
A month or so ago I posted that I thought that Vancouver was the real deal and they would roll through the WC, I can't remember who it was (and don't care enough to go back and look), but somebody said the Sedin twins would fold in the playoffs. Got any crow to eat? Don't get me wrong, I have zero love for Vancouver, but I can recognize a good team when I see them. Here is hoping for a "Big Red Borg" vs "Worst Jerseys Ever" WCF. = Awesome match-up.
I will admit though that I would love to see Nashville get in there but I don't think they have the power to take out either team. Chicago isn't playing badly, they just don't have the depth through 4 lines that the 'Nucks have. Sorry Hawks fan, it isn't your year this year.
April 18th, 2011
1:31 pm
ZAvalance, you see more of the Canuck out there than we do. But from everything I've seen of them I have to agree with you. That's as solid a team as you're going to find.
I think people sometimes tend to get caught up in that "Presidents Trophy Jinx" thing, so thats why some might tend to say they'll fold under the pressure of playoffs. Maybe some just don't ike going with the "chic" pick.
There is still a bunch of hockey to be played for sure and they'll still have to tangle with the Wings before all is said and done I believe, but right now they are as good as advertised.
April 18th, 2011
1:32 pm
Glove, I didn't see the hit but I guarantee that the coach is telling all of his players not to retaliate in any fashion. The only way I see it happening is if it is a series-ending game and they are up by at least 4 goals.
April 18th, 2011
1:39 pm
Hoof, I totally agree. There is a lot more that they need to do before they are considered "legit", because after all, they are playing an 8th seed = they should sweep them. But that is by far the deepest team in the post season. The Wings are always scary and Howard is playing well, along with Zetterburg and Datsyuk (sp). Franzen is a horse (maybe I should say Mule) and they are going to be hard to beat, even by Vancouver.
April 18th, 2011
2:07 pm
When the Canucks advance, the key to the Preds ability to advance is whether or not either the Coyotes or Kings pull off the first-round upset. Follow along please.
If Nashville is the "highest" seed to advance as the No. 5, then they are stuck going to Vancouver for the Conference Semi-Finals. If the Canucks advance in four or five games, they could be rested when taking on the Preds, who probably will take a minimum of six games to advance (if they in fact do). If the Canucks take out the Hawks on Tues. or Thurs., they will have a minimum of five to seven days of rest/practice to prepare for the Preds.
However, if the Kings advance, or the Yotes pull off the upset, then the Preds are off the hook playing the Canucks until the WC Finals.
Now, could the Canucks experience the post-Blackhawks hangover (huge sigh of relief for them) or will they simply just sail along to the WC Finals? I actually believe the Preds have a shot in that match-up because of Rinne and the all for one, one for all team concept they employ. They are 4-4 vs. the Canucks during the past two regular seasons, and while that might not mean much, it could help their confidence against them.
Think I'm crazy?
April 18th, 2011
2:25 pm
RL, I think anything is possible in the post-season, so no you're not crazy. Vancouver is scary good, but many scary good teams have run into hot goalies, complacency and bad bounces and gotten bounced. Scary VAN stat mentioned last night – they have won 43 straight games in which they've held a two goal lead. A bit of a contrast from our Thrash, huh.
The lack of discipline on Torres is a joke. Seabrook never gained control of the puck and Torres made no attempt to play the puck, so that's just dirty. I guess NHL is hiding behind the "behind the net" zone part of the rule, but it was gutless and counterproductive to not suspend him. He'll be in the press box since Vignault won't want to motivate the Hawks in any way.
April 18th, 2011
2:36 pm
ZAvs – I really thought that Chicago would hold their own in this series. I was wrong. Vancouver is hitting on all cylinders and playing some excellent hockey.
April 18th, 2011
3:07 pm
I'm not impressed by any of the Eastern Teams right now… Vancouver is amazing, and Detroit is… well… Detroit. The Red Wings know what to do this time of year.
Vancouver looks like they're the real deal. I think the only team that might have a chance to keep them out of the finals is Detroit. I look for these two to be in the WCF.
Hoof arted… I concur.
April 18th, 2011
3:07 pm
With the Blogmeister's mention of the AHL, I'm reminded how desperately we need to find an affiliate for true player development. With all 30 AHL teams tied to the 30 NHL teams, I'm not exactly sure where that leads. But in looking at the affiliations, I'm less concerned about geography than I once was – at least 10 NHL teams have further flung AHL affiliates than Les Thrash, including VAN, SJ and ANA.
April 18th, 2011
3:24 pm
Yes Red Light I do think you're crazy!! but I can see what your saying happening for sure. I LOVE watching that preds team. Impressed. I think that they can play with and beat anybody right now. Renne, the BEAST at 6′4.
Glovesave, I vote for this to happen…" 1. He gets demolished by a Blackhawk." Hawks have played well but Vancouver has a resolve this season I've not seen with them before. Gritty and skilled for sure & of course the best goalie in the world.
April 18th, 2011
3:26 pm
& I don't feel bad for the Hawks, that team is still LOADED, name after friggin name on that team, but they're missing something for sure.
April 18th, 2011
3:30 pm
Spud, drinking the Luongo Koolaid? But I totally agree on their grit. Even all their Swedes have mean, mad game faces on. Those two losses to EDM at the end of the season was probably the best thing for them.
April 18th, 2011
3:32 pm
I don't think you're crazy at all, Red Light. It's the playoffs and anythng can happen. Nothing is a certainty. The whole scheme of things could unravel on one play, one goal. That's why we love watching.
I'll be keeping an eye of the Bruins-Habs game tonight. Boston has to find a way to win or they're done.
April 18th, 2011
3:40 pm
Don't think much of this Red Wings organization, they've only won 57 playoff games and one Stanley Cup since the 2002 Playoffs. They're overrated!
April 18th, 2011
3:46 pm
RL, the Avery line last night, showed up for you. What did you think about that?
April 18th, 2011
3:59 pm
According to news from Boston, "Tim Thomas was the first Bruin goalie off the ice this morning, giving the indication that he'll be the starter for tonight's Game 3 against the Canadiens." So it doesn't look like Julien is going to do anything silly and put Rask in. Looks like Chara will play too, althogh I'm a Habs fan, I think Boston will score the first goal and win tonight.
April 18th, 2011
4:03 pm
According to Yahoo, the third jersey's are leaving and apparantly look like "Motocross jerseys."
Personally I don't think we need a 3rd, but they sure don't look like motocross!
Looking forward to next year….
April 18th, 2011
4:05 pm
So, if Chicago is swept or only wins one, do they make any core changes to the roster or coaching?
April 18th, 2011
4:08 pm
Dark, I don't think so. I think accessory changes. Their top 2 lines are pretty darn good.
April 18th, 2011
4:12 pm
RL, I don't think you can ever discount a Red Wings team. They work HARD. Yup, I hate them, but you have to respect them or you are going golfing with Smoothie.
April 18th, 2011
4:53 pm
Lee – sorry, scooped ya by about a week on that one!
VAN has looked great, true…but they have a score to settle with the Hawks. Let's see if they can keep up the intensity going forward. This is a long, grueling tournament…gotta have the right mindset for 2 months.
Torres will get his come-uppance. Especially with game 4 being a possible elimination game AND being in Chicago. No better way to get the crowd behind you (other than an early goal) than to cream the guy who tried to take out your man.
April 18th, 2011
5:12 pm
What do you make of Crawford's play during this series? I don't think he's the reason they're down, 3-0, to the 'Couv. For any Canucks fans out there, they really need to close out the series. When you're running a marathon … and you get the chance to take a 3-mile shortcut to the finish line, you TAKE IT, TAKE IT, TAKE IT.
So, Boucher tonight, huh? Revolving goaltenders in Philly. Well, they've got three (3) of them. I assume the Sabres will go with Miller, not Enroth. I'm looking for the Penguins to bounce back versus the Lightning. Nashville vs. Anaheim has been the best series so far. Runner-up: NYR vs. Washington. 3rd runner-up: SJS vs. LAK.
Most disappointing series so far … I'm not even going with Vancouver/Chicago. I'll go with the Bruins-Habs.
April 18th, 2011
5:21 pm
I support a suspension of Torres through the CF. But I'd say … let him return for the SCF. He's a multiple-offender now, so … he can't exactly feign innocence, falling back on his white, clean history.
April 18th, 2011
6:26 pm
No punishment nor suspension Brendan.
April 18th, 2011
6:27 pm
Screw the Wings ZAvs. They're Alan R.'s and Sara's favorite team. LOL
April 18th, 2011
7:02 pm
You have to wonder what the league is thinking with Torres. Media and fans alike were convinced that Torres was done for some time. Here is the real issue for Vancouver-will somebody go after the Sedins? Torres and Lapierre better tone it down or the Black Hawks will focus their attention on the Canucks' skill players. The Canucks are going to win anyhow, why piss the Hawks off so much that they take liberties with their skill guys?
April 18th, 2011
7:09 pm
Those third jerseys were brutal …glad to see them gone!!!
I think the dark blue Thrashers uniforms look the best with "ATLANTA" down the sleeves…very cool look.
Now we all wait for some good news on the ownership front…Coyotes situation still in the air but Winnipeg looks more and more likely barring a last minute rescue plan by the NHL buying up the bonds or Glendale,Arizona dipping into its $400 million reseve fund.

Nodus Thai Noodles & Rice reviews from OpenTable diners
- Buddha Cup!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2012Went in for a group meet up (12 people). None of us had been to Sunnyside before. They were very accommodating and happy to see us there. My younger sister's birthday was the next day (though that's not why we were all there) so at the end they brought out a free sample of desserts for us and then even gave my sister a buddha cup as a present! Food came out in a timely manner, but the waitress didn't take all the orders at the same time (only half the table). Perhaps they are not used to such big groups, but they were really happy to have us there and the food and drink was all pretty good! A great place if you want to just get your feet wet in Sunnyside!Special Features:
- GREAT FOOD!!karatequeenDined on 4/23/2012I loved everything I ordered from dumplings to pad thai. The food was cooked to perfection and was the best Thai that I've eaten in NYC.Special Features:

- HoratiosjodineDined on 9/19/2014Decor needs updating. We enjoyed the excellent service and food.Special Features:
- Excellent Food and Service!HawaiianTravelerVIPDined on 9/17/2014I have been to Horatio's several times and I think the restaurant is a steady performer with consistently very good food and service. Had the prime rib and salmon and both were excellent. Finished off with the key lime pie - delicious!Special Features:
- Very niceDavidVIPDined on 9/17/2014The restaurant had a casual atmosphere. It was on the water with lovely views. The service staff was very friendly and helpful (3 visits in one week for dinner). The menu had many options including specials, vegetarian choices and a nice selection of fish. The wine list was weighed toward California wines, the prices were very reasonableSpecial Features:
- Always a good betEastBayDinerVIPDined on 9/13/2014This place has been here for years and so glad it continues to stay busy and fresh. Our waiter was delighted to be our server and the food was great as usual. They are flexible on substitutions and we wonder why we do not go more often.Special Features:
- midlevel experiencedineoftenDined on 9/12/2014The menu prices are high for a middle of the road dining experience. I ordered prime rib and it was a tough piece of meat and served barely warm.
- noteasilyfooledDined on 9/12/2014I had the sirloin steak. The steak was excellent, but at $28.00 I expected a way better side than French fries,(which were listed on the menu with a misleading pseudo-classy sounding name that didn't tip me off that they were mere fries). It should have included asparagus and baked potato, or small, (but high quality) salad. In other words 2 decent sides. $28.00 for just a steak and a couple fries is inexcusable, no matter how good the steak is. I won't go back, because it's not worth combination of the price and the drive. I went there 7 years ago, and it was better then.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but pricyLMS15561Dined on 9/12/2014We enjoyed our meal, service was good, but meals are a bit over priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Re-visitSherryKDined on 9/10/2014My lunch here was a re-visit due to poor service time the last time I was here. The food is consistently good and this time the service was fairly prompt. I will say however, the restaurant wasn't very crowded this visit.Special Features:
- maliburonVIPDined on 9/9/2014needs some serious updating....the restaurant looks like it needs a upgrading.
- Always a PleasureIamBMWDined on 9/6/2014Took family here for a belated birthday celebration as the celebrant LOVES the Bloody Mary Bar. Salads, burgers, clam chowder were all great as usual! Server was extremely attentive and food was delivered in a FLASH!! The complementary birthday creme brulee with whipped cream and berries plus a candle finished off an extremely lovely lunch.Special Features:
- Excellent, as alwaysAndyDined on 9/4/2014I've been coming to Horatios for almost 10 years now when I'm in San Leandro on business. We take new employees in our department to Horatios to welcome them to our team and it's always well received. The service staff is pleasant, inviting and knowledgeable of the menu. The food is even better!Special Features:
- Amazeballs!!!AmazingEatsDined on 9/3/2014Victor was our waiter and he was amazing!! Was very enthusiastic and friendly and helped with any questions we had throughout our night. The food was amazing!! The soup of the day was a pork pozole and oh my goodness my husband and I fell in love!! We would definitely recommend Horatio's to our friends and family! It's a bit pricey but very much worth every penny!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service needs experienceLuciDined on 8/31/2014My friend and I enjoyed Sunday brunch and, while the food was fine, our young server needed more experience. He interrupted too many times, always apologetically. He poured more iced tea,but forgot about topping up the coffee. Trying to take the payment after just a minute or two necessitated another interruption and apology. That said, he was sweet, smiling and probably new. I would definitely return for all the good things about Horatio's! And also to see his improvement!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horatio's VisitToobukuDined on 8/27/2014This is our favorite fine dining spot when we visit during Raider Football Season! My wife and I love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Luncheon diningWheatieDined on 8/25/2014I have been coming to Horatio's for years. It is just the right place to have dinner with friends and to celebrate special occasions. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the dress is casual and the menu offers items for all tastes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent mealfeesDined on 8/24/2014Food and Service were awesome. Our server went the extra mile to make suggestions and customize our meal. Recently dined at Skates, to take in the Bridge view, and had my first average meal, and poor service. I've not had that happen at Horatio's.Special Features:
- Everything was FantasticBabygirlDined on 8/24/2014My family and I have been coming to Horatios for several years. I made this reservation through the "Open Table" app on my phone. I requested a booth, and thats what we got. Our request was granted. Very satisfied. The food was great, and the waiter was great too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surprised!Hungrygerlll523Dined on 8/24/2014I made reservations for brunch at Horatio's for my mom's birthday; we had been there before, and we both loved it. When I made the reservation, I requested a nice table(for a group) by the window, so we could have a view, and when we arrived, we were escorted to the perfect table with a lovely view. Our waitress provided exceptional service; she was very polite(apologizing for interrupting the convo when she checked on us), patient(giving us extra time for everyone to arrive and then for us to figure out what to order), and helpful(telling us about endless mimosas and her fave drink). The food was OUTSTANDING. Everyone in the group got something different, so I got to try 2 salads, a burger, and salmon.All I can say is: YUMMMY!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Anniversary at Horatio'sOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/18/2014I would highly recommend for all occasions. Danica took care of our table and was wonderful. They had just changed some menu items and my husband tried the Jerk Salmon - the presentation was so nice he didnt want to ruin it but was glad he did as it tasted perfect. I was very happy with my twice baked chicken and the portions were good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wish it had been betterfrtomVIPDined on 8/16/2014With a little bit of effort Horatio's could disprove the saying "the better the view the worse the dining." The kitchen was slow; the salad never arrived. Which was ok because it would have been too much food to have after an ample and tasty Calamari appetizer and before the prime rib (which wasn't the best I have ever had but was a generous portion and a good value for the price). The problem was the horseradish sauce that looked like errant mashed potatoes. Not a happy surprise. But one that could be averted by putting the horseradish in a little container. This was not the first time this issue has been noted in an online review. Waitress was professional and friendly, more points for upfront handling of the absence of rare prime rib.Special Features:
- food123456WOOWOODined on 8/16/2014was disappointed in my entrée this time around , found the stuffed Mahi Mahi with side of white beans a bit on the heavy side ,also found the dialogue of our server a bit over the top, too much information on the Menu and chefs specials and so glad your here and will send compliments to the chef , had my two guest rolling their eyes by the time dinner was over .will be a while before I would conceder returning .Special Features:
- My favorite restaurantZpoetDined on 8/16/2014Horatio's never fails to deliver. The views at sunset are simply breathtaking, and if you're lucky enough to get a window seat, watching the oranges and reds and yellows siloutted against the boats at the dock leave you feeling at peace. I've never had anything less than a perfect meal there and this time it was no different. Each bite a sensation of utter joy....everything simply sublime. It's the best.Special Features:
- ConsistentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014We've been to Horatio's 5 times in the past 6 months and have been very happy with the food and service - both have been consistently good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- jbandnnDined on 8/14/2014Had a very nice time with my date. The almond crusted scallops and the louie salad were excellent. Our server was very friendly and efficient. Good food, great service, a little pricey though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horatio's=Good food, service & viewZingalDined on 8/13/2014We decided to try Horatio's based on a friend's recommendation. We were surprised with how large the place is. With last minute Open Table reservations, we were seated next to the window with a view. Quite pleasant. We ordered a chef's special, Jambalaya, and were very pleased with our choice. It was excellent. The service was good, and the views of the water add to the ambiance. I would go back for the food, especially the bread, but might think twice because the prices are high. My husband and I spit the salad and the Jambalaya, so that helped with the bill. The portion for a split was perfect. We didn't have room for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dirty EstuaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/12/2014It is sosad that the Mayor of San Leandro is satisfied with the muck in the water. It was such a nice site when the water was clear, the shore birds were in the water and the boats filled the Marina. Hopefullly when he is out of office the citizens will be able to get their choice back. Now it is best not to sit near the windows.Special Features:
- ServiceJordanDined on 8/12/2014Not only is the food extremely enjoyable, Tammy and Chad have been outstanding. Myself and several co-workers work on Hegenberger Rd. and we frequently eat at Horatios. Appreciate the flexibility of the Chef and the way the wait staff goes out of their way to make us comfortable and able to enjoy our delicious meals. Special thank you to Tammy as she is the person we normally ask for. Chad served me an my family once and was delightful as well. Thank you for being a neighborhood gem! Sincerely, Jordan Hill-WashingtonSpecial Features:

- Great resturantGeorgeDined on 8/10/2014have been going to Horatios since it opened, love it for lunch and the view, about 6 miles from my home, it was our 60th anaviserySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horatio's DinnerCarolBDined on 8/8/2014We went to Horatio's for our 22nd wedding anniversary. We had our first date here and have come every year for our anniversary. As always, the service was fantastic! Chad was our server. He's worked here for years and knows how to make people feel special. The food was awesome too! I love the Lobster Bisque and the Burnt Cream (Creme Brulee)!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great place for familiesOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/2/2014We are a family of four with 2 boys, 10 and 12. While the food won't blow you away, it's good, reasonable and everyone can find something. The garlic bread is the best i've ever had. The service can be slow sometimes. Even though we make reservation through OpenTable, and there appear to be tables available when we walk in, we are ALWAYS made to wait. It's annoying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was really goodLindag10Dined on 7/31/2014I went for lunch with a group of 5. Service was excellent. Top shelf margarita not the best. I had Mahi Mahi - really good. Everyone else had desert. So delicious next time I'll make room. Great experience. Even the manager offered to take photos for us. Thank you Mr. Irby - I will be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just what I needed....bertandernieDined on 7/28/2014After a very crazy day, I had the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful view and an amazing martini called "edleflower"....it will change your life:)Special Features:
- Comfortable lunch spot.EastBayLarryDined on 7/28/2014We've been to Horatio's for dinner before, but never for lunch. So this was a first. We were surprised at the lack of patrons, but it allowed us to sit at a window table right on the water. The waiter was excellent, as was the food. All four of us enjoyed very different meals. We came for lunch here because it was convenient for our guests (who were staying at the hotel next door). We'll come back again for lunch because it was a delightful experience.Special Features:
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/27/2014I have been a patron since high school and 25 years later it's still just as good as it was back then. The server, Chad, was very intuitive and knowledgeable and very friendly. The food was excellent as well.Special Features:
- Good food, Service disappointingCherylVIPDined on 7/27/2014I ate brunch at Horatio's and the food was very good. I had the salmon stuffed with crabmeat. My server wasn't attentive in my opinion. I had to ask him for bread when he didn't offer it, he brought me a muffin that was broken in half, and my white asparagus was burnt. Since he didn't come back to check on me, I asked a another food server for another muffin and for asparagus that wasn't burnt. I usually get good service when I come to Horatio's, but not on this visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice surprise!LisaSDined on 7/26/2014I wasn't expecting too much from Horatio's because San Leandro is not known for fine dining, but it was really good! Celebrating my in-law's 50th anniversary and it was the perfect place for that: folks of all ages could find something on the menu to suit them. I had one of the specials: sesame crusted roast salmon -yum ($28). The calamari appetizer was very tender. Beware, this place is pricey. The petite cut prime rib was $40, regular cut was $47, but great. Definitely a special occasion place. The highlight were the desserts! The key lime pie was amazing...not your typical very tart, thin pie. It was high and fluffy with a generous layer of real whipped cream. Peach blueberry cobbler-yum. Salted caramel martini!- double yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner w/ friendsmajgmanDined on 7/26/2014Another great meal, the crab dip appetizer is my favorite. Salmon special was delicious.Special Features:

The Twinkie manifestoNovember 20,2012The Twinkie, it turns out, was introduced way back in 1930. In our memories, however, the iconic snack will forever be identified with the 1950s, when Hostess popularized the brand by sponsoring The Howdy Doody Show. And the demise of Hostess has unleashed a wave of baby boomer nostalgia for a seemingly more innocent time.
Needless to say, it wasnt really innocent. But the 50s the Twinkie Era do offer lessons that remain relevant in the 21st century. Above all, the success of the postwar American economy demonstrates that, contrary to todays conservative orthodoxy, you can have prosperity without demeaning workers and coddling the rich.
Consider the question of tax rates on the wealthy. The modern American right, and much of the alleged center, is obsessed with the notion that low tax rates at the top are essential to growth. Remember that Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, charged with producing a plan to curb deficits, nonetheless somehow ended up listing lower tax rates as a guiding principle.
Yet in the 1950s incomes in the top bracket faced a marginal tax rate of 91, thats right, 91 percent, while taxes on corporate profits were twice as large, relative to national income, as in recent years. The best estimates suggest that circa 1960 the top 0.01 percent of Americans paid an effective federal tax rate of more than 70 percent, twice what they pay today.
Nor were high taxes the only burden wealthy businessmen had to bear. They also faced a labor force with a degree of bargaining power hard to imagine today. In 1955 roughly a third of American workers were union members. In the biggest companies, management and labor bargained as equals, so much so that it was common to talk about corporations serving an array of stakeholders as opposed to merely serving stockholders.
Squeezed between high taxes and empowered workers, executives were relatively impoverished by the standards of either earlier or later generations. In 1955 Fortune magazine published an essay, How top executives live, which emphasized how modest their lifestyles had become compared with days of yore. The vast mansions, armies of servants and huge yachts of the 1920s were no more; by 1955 the typical executive, Fortune claimed, lived in a smallish suburban house, relied on part-time help and skippered his own relatively small boat.
The data confirm Fortunes impressions. Between the 1920s and the 1950s real incomes for the richest Americans fell sharply, not just compared with the middle class but in absolute terms. According to estimates by the economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, in 1955 the real incomes of the top 0.01 percent of Americans were less than half what they had been in the late 1920s, and their share of total income was down by three-quarters.
Today, of course, the mansions, armies of servants and yachts are back, bigger than ever and any hint of policies that might crimp plutocrats style is met with cries of socialism. Indeed, the whole Romney campaign was based on the premise that President Barack Obamas threat to modestly raise taxes on top incomes, plus his temerity in suggesting that some bankers had behaved badly, were crippling the economy. Surely, then, the far less plutocrat-friendly environment of the 1950s must have been an economic disaster, right?
Actually, some people thought so at the time. Paul Ryan and many other modern conservatives are devotees of Ayn Rand. Well, the collapsing, moocher-infested nation she portrayed in Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957, was basically Dwight Eisenhowers America.
Strange to say, however, the oppressed executives Fortune portrayed in 1955 didnt go Galt and deprive the nation of their talents. On the contrary, if Fortune is to be believed, they were working harder than ever. And the high-tax, strong-union decades after World War II were in fact marked by spectacular, widely shared economic growth: Nothing before or since has matched the doubling of median family income between 1947 and 1973.
Which brings us back to the nostalgia thing.
There are, lets face it, some people in our political life who pine for the days when minorities and women knew their place, gays stayed firmly in the closet and congressmen asked, Are you now or have you ever been? The rest of us, however, are very glad those days are gone. We are, morally, a much better nation than we were. Oh, and the food has improved a lot, too.
Along the way, however, weve forgotten something important namely, that economic justice and economic growth arent incompatible. America in the 1950s made the rich pay their fair share; it gave workers the power to bargain for decent wages and benefits; yet contrary to right-wing propaganda then and now, it prospered. And we can do that again.

The Wet Okole covers I bought were everything they said they were going to be. The quality and comfort were superb. Putting them on was not as hard as made out to be. They are snug fit and if you did not know any better you'd swear they were factory..
Slip Covers
Reviewed By John H (Smethport, PA) —9/18/2014 12:19 PM
They arrived in a timely manner and they are basicly what they are, nothing fancy. They are what I would call slip covers and go on very easy and are just what I needed for the type of person I am and my life style. They may not be fancy seat covers but if your dirty or wet these are what you need so you can easly remove and wash them. Very Happy with them.
Saving my "rear"....seat!
Reviewed By Carolyn C (SAINT LOUIS, MO) Reviewed for a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek —9/18/2014 8:09 AM
My two dogs spend lots of time in this car and between too long nails and "accidents" of various kinds this new cover is keeping my rear seat in my nearly new car, safe! Easy to put on and take off for cleaning. Have not needed to remove it as yet though, as it cleans up really easily with towel and mild cleaner. The fabric is tough, thick, and cushioned. A little pricey but fits well and stays in place which others I tried never did.

Some of the corporate commercial brands dumb it down, and that's not Italian. My favorite local food-specialty shop, Lotsa Pasta, makes an excellent version that I always keep frozen as one of my go-to staples for a quick meal. Cut one up - no need to thaw - cook 'em in their own fat with onions and green peppers, throw in a little fresh tomato sauce from the garden (or the same frozen in the off season). throw it over penne or other short pasta, and dinner is done.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- Heartburn is one of the primary symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, and is one of the most common reasons people see a doctor. More than 113 million prescriptions are filled to treat GERD each year costing $14 billion dollars -- making it the third largest selling drug category in the world. Upper endoscopy is routinely performed for the diagnosis and management of the condition but may not be necessary according to the American College of Physicians (ACP).
In an evidence-based paper published in Annals of Internal Medicine, the ACP finds that upper endoscopy is not needed for most patients unless other serious symptoms are present. The ACP says that inappropriate use of upper endoscopy does not improve the health of patients, exposes them to preventable harms, may lead to unnecessary interventions, and results in unnecessary costs with no benefit.
The ACP finds that medication to reduce gastric acid production is warranted in most patients with typical GERD symptoms. Upper endoscopy is appropriate in patients with heartburn who are unresponsive to medicine to reduce gastric acid production. The ACP does recommend endoscopy when serious symptoms are present, such as difficult or painful swallowing, bleeding, anemia, weight loss, or recurrent vomiting.
For men over the age of 50 with multiple risk factors, screening with upper endoscopy may be needed for Barrett's esophagus, a disorder in which the lining of the esophagus is damaged by stomach acid and may lead to cancer.
The recommendations are part of ACP's High Value Care initiative and aim to inform patients and doctors about current and effective standards of care. As with all tests and treatments, people with heartburn should talk to their doctor about upper endoscopy so that they understand the benefits and risks of the procedure.
About the American College of Physicians
The American College of Physicians (www.acponline.org) is the largest medical specialty organization and the second-largest physician group in the United States. ACP members include 133,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), related subspecialists, and medical students. Internal medicine physicians are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Peter Dunkley, Technical Director at Acision, will look at how this identity problem can be solved and discuss ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication.

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehension and conference efficiency.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, will discuss single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example to explain some of these concepts including when to use different storage models.

Well sounds very odd, yet it can return "what is your percentage of completeness"....
I wouldnt do it by myself (mixing bools and ints and magin all the way) but I think I understand why this code came to mind of programmer .-)
That's pretty weird indeed.
return "frist".Length / 0.0;
Take into consideration poor Piotr Kaminski, who got stuck with unmaintainable code, in the Twilight Zone...
Well if you want to tell the user how close their form is to completion, that'll work quite nicely. If all the fields are entered correctly it'll return 100; if only one is, you'll get 12 and so on. You can use the value to show a "Your application is now xx% complete" message.
Not great, but not necessarily a WTF.
It's actually quite clever. Of course it demands from the developer who reads that, some arithmetic and boolean skills.
I know, it's asking a lot from people who actually are supposed to know how to crunch numbers. Transforming 100*ct/9.0 to ct/0.09 should be obvious to anyone, and if it isn't, pull down that keyboard and search for another job, more tuned to your skills (flipping burgers, collecting garbage or whatever).
Not a WTF, in my opinion.
The bit I really don't like is adding BOOLs.
I don't like the divide because it's not obvious, and not commented (and not self commenting), and there's also the issue that if you add another thing to check for, then the 'percentage complete' calculation would be wrong.
So, if it was me, I'd:
- change the 'adding BOOLs pattern' to using tertiary operators (slower, but for this type of check I can't see it being an issue)
- change the final calcuation to "(ct / 9) * 100" to make it a bit more obvious
- add a comment to say that if you change the number of checks, then change the calculation at the end
TRWTF is JavaScript, right? Coercing those booleans to be integers (0 or 1) is very cheeky at best - I didn't even know you could do that.
If this were ported to VB it would be even more fun because TRUE would become -1, so you'd divide by -0.09.
It works, but is it portable?
It seems quite an unusual method for validation, but I can see some value in quantifying how far through the validation process you are as a decimal value, rather than the usual true/false/filenotfound.
Then I got to the line:
I can't even imagine what sort of person thinks "where [the] employer is sharing, and true" is a reasonable statement.
The WTF is that a % of completeness has been given for a form. On one hand a code maintainer would have to calculate the new number when adding and removing fields. On the other the user would get a percentage value of 'form completeness' which is nonsense.
"7 out of 8 fields completed" is far more intuitive and meaningful.
But of course TRWTF is "&& true", amirite? Or is this just a smart-bottomed technique to force its type?
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 08:38 • by Anonymous (unregistered)
Possibly obvious, but also wrong: 0.09 can't be exactly represented in IEEE floating-point, so you may get a fractionally different result. It happens to work for 9 items, but not in general e.g.
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 08:43 • by EpicEraser (unregistered)
The general trick for forcing types to booleans is !! (not-not)
!!1 === true
!!0 === false
Whether it is smart to use this in everyday code, I don't know.
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 08:50 • by chris (unregistered)
Coercing booleans to integers comes from C, and I think since JS is loosely-typed and has C as its most obvious ancestor, you can reasonably expect it to work.
It's still shitty code. No need to repeat all that.
Python syntax. I don't know if you can get rid of the "u." in elementslist easily.
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 09:04 • by LoremIpsumDolorSitAmet
u.employerSharing could be any type. The AND operation will coerce it to a boolean... which is then coerced to a number.

You should also atleast add an XML layer, coupled with DAL and a backing database implementation. Sure it might be slower, but at least it will be obvious with the added benefit of flexibility.
Clever is a strong word. This is still very stupid code. (Hint: each field is hard coded, as is the constant 0.09.) But I agree its not exactly a WTF either. It's bad code that kinda works for what it was supposed to do.
Let's face it, if this were PHP, nobody would be standing up for this code.
The only real difference between JS and PHP is that when it comes to PHP you have alternatives.

FTFY. This is TDWTF and we love to ironically defend bad code.
Any value coming from a non-checkbox is a string, not sure why you would check the type every time. Also not sure why a function is being declared anonymously, that's irritating. Also not sure what's up withe the && true statement.
function proFormComplete()
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 09:34 • by chris (unregistered)
In JS, surely the way to do it is to maintain an array of functions as a property of a function to run them all and divide by the length of the array?
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 09:47 • by Doctor_of_Ineptitude (unregistered)
Nice. We should also add a round trip to server to check the results. That way we also get the opportunity to add a few more security holes and even slow down the system even more. Double win.

I don't know of any booleans in C. I doubt it exists in C. (Dunno C++)
So if you see this in C, it's not really because the programmer likes ints more, it's because their are no booleans.
Seeing it in a language that knows booleans, that's probably just stupid.
That's "31337", or "1337". But in this case, it's definitely "14M3".
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 10:05 • by smilr (unregistered)
you never use the final result of the ct tally...
perhaps you meant something more like:
return (ct*100)/(props.length + 1);
Why give this function a global variable? For all it's cleverness that's just sloppy.
Re: Divide and Validate
2013-01-07 10:31 • by gallier2 (unregistered)
The types
_Booland its alias
boolare in the C language since the C99 standard (it was already in some compilers like gcc as extension long before that).
will print
Value of b=1
When I have something like this, I use a series of checks, and return false when any check fails, and return true at the end of the subroutine. Why perform unneeded checks?
The real WTF is dividing by 0.09 and incurring a slow division instead of multiplying with 11.11
Y'know, if you replace that last line with "return ct == 9;" you'd have a perfectly reasonable, if somewhat excessively clever, validation routine.
I used to work with a guy who everyone considered a wizard, because he wrote undocumented "clever" code like this that still met its intended function. Pretty much your standard "job security through obfuscation." It was always a treat to come across a SQL statement that took 15 minutes of analysis to figure out it was checking if a certain type of record existed in a table.
I always thought his code would have been TDWTF-worthy, if not that the WTFs therein were completely opaque to anyone without years of intimate knowledge of the DB schema.
It's odd that you get a code smell so strong from the language itself. If I were to create a language that forced users to type three equal signs in a row, I'd think, "maybe I'm doing something wrong."
Re: Divide and Validate

Many languages use short-circuit evaluation, So you can do:
if (a bunch of things you expect to be true, ANDed together) {
return true;
return false;
Or simply:
return (a bunch of things you expect to be true, ANDed together);
As soon as one of the terms evaluates to false, it will stop evaluating.
But all that aside, this isn't simply evaluating TRUE or FALSE, it's seeing how many things are TRUE or FALSE.

I should note that using short-circuit evaluation can make debugging really obnoxious.

FTFY. In this case, easier to attach to an event.
Anonymous functions are the best thing about JS.
So, okay, given that this is clever and "obvious", then why no do the next clever step and change it to multiply by 11.111111? (Multiply being much more efficient than divide.)
TRWTF is not using AJAX to validate on the server:
1. Server request sends parameters to a validation servlet.
2. Server responds with true or false.
3. If the server gave true, submit to the real server.
4. Else, show error message.
If it's 'user' you're talking about, then you can't be sure. It may be part of something like:
Didn't think of how the return value is used, here.
Oh well, wrap it in an anonymous function are compare it to 100 or something

Except, of course, that it produces an incompatible result.
That's not so bad. Back in the old days before strict typing rules existed it used to be possible in some languages to do math on strings and get strings in return as a result (binary math on strings with strings can return some interesting, predictable, and hilarious results). Of few of the more enterprising of us figured how how to use this little fact to our advantage much to the chagrin of anyone who actually saw the code.
This is no more arcane than Zeller's Algorithm for calculating the day of the week (in which today's date in ISO form is 2012-13-07).
I still can't believe that the plus sign can be used to concatenate strings in VB .NET. Talk about a huge WTF.

I'm not a javascript expert, but that might have something to do with manipulating the return type. Just as I expect the "0 +" at the beginning of the sum is likely for type casting. But does java not have an explicit cast operator?

I know why it works, but booleans should never have been equated to integers.
From "The Elements of Programming Style" which should be required reading:
"Write clearly - don't be too clever."

Yes, but you also might be a pretentious prick.

Why is that a WTF? Its a feature available in many sane languages.

In August 2011, my then 13-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks the pancreas, destroying the body's ability to produce insulin, which regulates blood glucose. There's no cure, and the causes are unknown.
My son had been presenting the classic symptoms for several weeks, but I did not know how to interpret them.
Fortunately, his blood glucose level was not dangerously high at diagnosis. Tragically, children who are not diagnosed in time can go into a coma or even pass away. Before insulin was discovered in the 1920s, the disease was uniformly fatal.
I want to alert our community to the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. If someone you know exhibits these symptoms, please get them to a doctor as soon as possible:
Extreme thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, drowsiness, lethargy, fatigue, irritability, sudden vision changes, increased appetite, sweet smelling breath caused by ketones, heavy, labored breathing and unconsciousness.
I'm beyond grateful to Scotts Valley nutritionist Pat Adams, who alerted me to his abnormally high blood glucose; to the doctors and staff at Stanford; and to God for his faithfulness and provision throughout our ordeal.
I'm happy to say my son is doing well, and managing his disease like a pro. I hope this information helps anyone who might need it.
Lisa Smith, Ben Lomond
