Recently in the San Francisco Bay Area some reports have shown a new development. The San Mateo County public health administration has been using a fake Grindr account as part of its outreach plan.
I take issue with this. While in theory one can explain it as just another use of social media for prevention. In practice it's problematic at best.
The intersections of how we use our agency for sex, intimacy and everything are powerful. They are primal. They speak to how we live, what we value and deserve respect as such. Thus all interventions place a premium on assuring personal agency, dignity and consent occur. All doing this work (be clinicians, researchers, case managers, etc.) understand this intimately. And generally approach their strategies from that basis. This is the reason Human Subjects Protection training is mandatory for administrators and most in the field.
Yet as months turn into years (and then decades for some), one's perspective can change. A support group can just look like qualitative data. A movie ticket stub can be just another part of a client's monthly budget for their care plan. A condom can be just another line item consideration used to fulfill a grant deliverable. A black gay man can just look like a vector of disease. Names become ID numbers and people become only data.
It takes a toll to bring the personal into the professional. Looking at the example in San Mateo, it seems like this consideration may have been lost. Safeguarding personal agency and consent may have been low priority, because budget cuts tend to have that effect.
The work is taxing. Advocating for successful health outcomes in the midst of an ongoing epidemic is difficult. It calls on vast amounts of personal investment which most sane people would not be willing to offer. Yet, the vocation pivots from the notion that one is aiding the common good.
Though the individual point of views may now be more cynical or pessimistic. It goes without saying, that these men and women joined the work based on a deep seated personal motivation to drive change. This is especially true in the arena of HIV/AIDS and STD/STI prevention.
It creates a culture which normalizes lost sleep, "full time equivalent hours" and few benefits. Why? Because when you can see the hand you have in creating change in the lives of members of your community it's worth it. The little victories chip away at the larger defeats and keep you in the fight.
In the public sector we've all had to do more with less since the economic downturn of 2008. People of color especially are still in the midst of trying to regain our footing and realize that we may have lost a lot of ground. Under this climate it's always those with the least that loose the most.
One of those losses has been in services to our most vulnerable populations and the public health sector. Last year when Sequestration happened it appears that sector suffered another blow. Once again, HIV/AIDS programs are looking to find ways to combat an epidemic with dwindling resources.
As those hardest hit by the epidemic this, of course, has hit communities of color hardest.
In looking to be innovative, outreach plans have graduated from personal word-of-mouth networks. They have involved all aspects of social media since it became part of our everyday lives.
Community members and preventionists have continued to meet guys where they are most comfortable. This includes Adam4Adam, BGC, et al. These one-on-one interactions have been a successful tool.
As the shift happened from hook-up sites to dating apps; the outreach plans adjusted to meet that need. As a participant I noticed how certain prevention programs got my attention. Later, working at a not-for-profit clued me in on how to develop and market to the target population my demographic includes.
In my experience both Atlanta and San Francisco continue to be at the forefront of innovating outreach.
Still I wonder if this is a sign of things going too far. I wonder if this is another way that vulnerable communities are running into another form of exploitation. Exploitation from well-meaning agencies whose mission is to offer help is counterproductive. It's one thing for an outreach worker to create a profile on a social media app and engage the community on a 'virtual' one-on-one basis. It's a completely different matter to launch an initiative like the one in San Mateo. We have to value the personal agency of whomever we intend to help before we can ever imagine effectively counting on successful health outcomes.

RELATED: Grand Rapids mission directors: Give panhandlers respect, not cash
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Readers seemed intrigued by this MLive post on a Division Avenue ministry's suggestion that people give panhandlers vouchers instead of cash.
To continue the discussion, Marge Palmerlee, executive director of Degage Ministries, and the Rev. Andy DeBraber, executive director of Heartside Ministry, will share their thoughts on how best to respond to panhandlers in a live chat from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8.
More reader reaction here
Feel free to post your own ideas in advance, or ask a question, in the comment stream below. Then come back Friday to join the conversation.
Among the reader comments on the recent post about $2 vouchers for Degage services:
"I always swing into a drive through and give them food. They never seem that impressed but they're certainly not getting any cash from me," wrote LoveCantBuyYouMoney1. "At least they get some nutrition but at the same time I fear since they don't have to worry about buying food they can then blow the rest of the money people give them all on drugs and booze. I would definitely be interested in giving them the vouchers."
"Unearned food, clothing, toiletries are just as enabling as cash and does not engage homeless individuals in job and skills training which are needed to end homelessness," wrote john214. "Many panhandlers are not truly homeless individuals but are predators of generous citizens."
"If they want booze or drugs they will do one of two things," wrote Peter Fohryew. "1) They will sell the vouchers (or gift cards, whatever) to someone else for less that face value and still get their drugs & alcohol. 2) They will throw the voucher in the trash (which means your money only goes to the place "selling" the voucher) and just wait for the next 50 people who give them cash."
Palmerlee heads Degage at 144 S. Division Ave. She touts $2 vouchers that can be redeemed for Degage services including meals, haircuts, laundry, socks and locker storage.
Degage charges a fee for many services, while other Grand Rapids homeless shelters typically do not.
"The majority of people who are panhandling are doing it to support an addiction," Palmerlee said. "By giving them money, you're not helping. If someone does truly have a need for food, giving them a voucher gives them an opportunity to get that food."
DeBraber is a former Grand Rapids Press correspondent who last year left Douglas Congregational United Church of Christ to become executive director of Heartside, 54 S. Division Ave.

A very strong cold front swept across the region Monday afternoon, and was accompanied by scattered severe thunderstorms over portions of northeast Missouri, southeast Iowa, and west central and northwest Illinois.
The surface map below at 1800z (12:00 pm CST) shows the potent cold front moving in from the west. Note the nearly 50 degree temperature contrast across the state of Iowa! Unseasonably warm, moist and unstable air was drawn northward ahead of the front on gusty south winds. Moline, Illinois set a new record high for the date at 71 degrees, while many other locations ahead of the front flirted with record highs. This potent cold front along with the unseasonable warmth and strong winds aloft combined to produce conditions favorable for rotating supercell thunderstorms with large hail and tornadoes.
Below is a map of the severe weather reports across the region from Monday afternoon and evening.
The radar reflectivity image below depicts a pair of supercell thunderstorms at 2000z (2:00 pm CST) . One is located in Knox County near Altona and the second in Bureau County just north of Sheffield. In this image we are looking into the storms at roughly between 2,800 feet and 3,400 feet above ground level (AGL) , with the Quad Cities Doppler Radar located approximately 40-45 miles to the northwest of the storms. The purple and aqua blue shading in the core of the storms show very high levels of reflectivity of 70-76 decibels (dBZ), with values this high often a good indicator of hail. More intriguing, however, is the long "spikes" of reflectivity extending well to the southeast of both storms. These "spikes" are not a reflection of actual precipitation in the area, but rather a classic example of a radar artifact known as a "Three-Body Scatter Spike", or TBSS. The presence of a TBSS almost always indicates that a storm contains large hail. In simple terms, a TBSS is caused by the radar beam hitting the hail aloft, scattering to the ground below, then scattering back upward, and finally being scattered once again by the hail aloft. The 3 scatterings illustrate the triple reflection, thus the term "three-body scatter spike".

Allison Warden is an Inupiaq Eskimo artist with a wide range of talents. She is passionate about the self-determination of indigenous peoples and the protection of the planet, and shares her passions through performance art, theater and music.
Warden is also a rapper who raps under the name AKU-MATU and empowers youth through her workshops as an artist in the schools with the Alaska State Council on the Arts. Her work includes themes like the environment, ecology, Alaska history, indigenous sovereignty, contemporary culture and politics. Her one-woman shows take her all over the state and across the nation.
This month, Warden is Bunnell Street Arts Center's artist in residence. During her residency, she plans to interact with community members through a talk, a workshop and an interactive play, all which center around a performance piece she's creating called, "Let Glow."
"Let Glow will focus on self-love, community acceptance and place, family-healing love and romantic love," Warden said. "It will also focus on the importance of being part of a healthy community."
Audience members will be given antlers to wear, as they become honorary caribou.
"Turning everyone into a caribou and having them wear antlers helps to ground them to the show, to one another and to the fate of the caribou herd that is depicted," Warden said. "The interactivity of the show serves to create and serve stronger community bonds and feelings."
Warden's goal is for each audience member to leave the performance feeling more hopeful and more connected to his or her community.
The staged reading of "Let Glow" will include images and footage from the communities of Arctic Village and Kaktovik, as well as the migrating caribou that connect the two villages.
Born and raised in Fairbanks, Warden currently lives in Anchorage. However, she spends a third of the year with her mother in the village of Kaktovik. This community and its migrating caribou inspired "Let Glow," as did her relationship with her biological grandmother and the traditional values of the Alaska Natives she grew up with.
Warden's first foray into performance was at eight years old, when she was offered a part in a dental commercial. Soon, she was in her first play and has been actively involved with theater ever since.
Eight years ago, she met a couple of working performance artists who encouraged her to follow her passions. Three years ago, she embraced the life of a full-time artist.
Warden has traveled extensively across Alaska with her one-woman show, "Ode to the Polar Bear," that focuses on climate change. She's a Rasmuson Individual Artist awardee, was an On Our Radar artist for Creative Capital in performance art, received a Connie Boochever fellowship in performance art from the Alaska State Council of the Arts and recently performed at the Anchorage Museum as part of her cinematic funk-fusion band, "Yada Di." She is currently working on an AKU-MATU rap album to be released this fall.
Warden has performed at Bunnell Street Arts Center in the past, including "Calling All Polar Bears" in 2013, Artist in Schools in 2012 and "Time Immemorial" with Anchorage performer Jack Dalton in 2009.
Warden's Artist in Residence proposal was one of four selected from a competitive pool of 82 national applicants. She was chosen by a panel of 11 Alaskans that included artists of various media, as well as local and statewide arts administrators.
"Allison is such an energetic, innovative, intense and hilarious performance artist," said Asia Freeman, Director of Bunnell Street Arts Center. "As a world-touring Inupiaq woman rapper, she is simply a phenomena!"
Community members are invited to bring a dish to the Curious Caribou Potluck at Bunnell on March 16 at 6 p.m. Here, Warden will talk about interdisciplinary art and her residency at Bunnell.
"Come On, Caribou" is Warden's free, interactive theater workshop for community members 18 and older. It's set to take place March 17-21, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Bunnell. During the workshop, community members can explore space through friendly competition, dance and interactive caribou movements that will ultimately help Warden create the "Let Glow" performance piece.
"I have seen firsthand the healing and transformative power in the work I create and perform for an audience," she said. "It is my hope that, through my work, community members attending my performances will be moved deeply enough to deepen their personal connection to the planet that we share."
Warden's residency at Bunnell Street Arts Center is sponsored by ArtPlace America, a national initiative of several major foundations, including Rasmuson Foundation, to spark vibrancy in American communities.
Warden is scheduled to perform the work-in-progress performance of "Let Glow" on March 28 at 8 p.m. at Bunnell. A donation of $10-$20 is suggested. For more information, call 235-2662 or visit bunnellarts.org.

What is in this article?:
- 'Unprecedented times' for farmers, ginners
- Greater reluctance to return to cotton
- Changes to facilitate trade
- Cotton yields haven't kept pace
Mid-South farmers and ginners are coping with "unprecedented times" as they try and adjust business models to high commodity prices, higher production/operating costs, and changing demands for crops, says David Blakemore, Campbell, Mo., producer/ginner/warehouseman.
More About:
Greater reluctance to return to cotton
"The changes in Mid-South agriculture in the last five years have been more severe than anything I could ever have imagined in my farming career," Marianna, Ark., farmer/ginner Larry McClendon said in the panel discussion.
The monumental shifts to grains have also brought changes in operational lifestyles, he says.
"Because of higher costs and greater risks, there is a real reluctance of many farmers to get back into cotton after growing grains. Growing grains is easier, with less management and less financial risk — production cost increases for cotton have been pretty dramatic.
"I don't think we will ever regain all the cotton acres we had a few years back. It's just too expensive for a farmer to flip-flop between grains and cotton."
In the process of losing cotton acres in recent years, McClendon says, "We've also lost personnel, and demand for services and facilities has changed. In the past, most grain farmers relied on community elevators; now, many of them have their own on-farm storage facilities. Continuing consolidation and closings have resulted in fewer community gins and more centralized facilities."
Mills in the eastern U.S. once consumed 80 percent of the nation's cotton, with about 20 percent exported, he notes.
"Now, that situation is reversed. When I first started farming, my competition was cotton producers in other areas of the U.S. cotton belt. Then, as cotton spinning shifted to overseas mills, my competition was foreign cotton growers. Now, my competition is soybeans and corn."
In the Mid-South, McClendon says, "I think we will see farms continue to get much larger. We'll see a continuing reduction in government farm supports, and as a consequence forward pricing will be a mainstay of management. Acreages from year to year will be very volatile and highly contingent on price."
The acreages of individual farms will increasingly be tied to harvest capacity, he says.
"With each revolution in picker/moduling systems, we've almost doubled our harvesting capacity. When a grower is investing half a million dollars in a new moduling picker, he has to be sure he can utilize that machine as efficiently as possible, and he will more and more center his operations around what he can harvest. Technology will increasingly be a key component of farming operations, and in everything, we're in for a lot faster ride than ever before."
With increasing costs of production, land, rents, and equipment, McClendon says, "It will be increasingly challenging to farmers to finance their crops, with more collateral required and tighter lending limits. With higher costs and higher capitalization requirements, it will be more difficult for younger farmers to get into the business and for older farmers to facilitate the transition to the next generation.
"If somebody's got enough money to start in cotton farming, they've got enough money to quit."

Pittsburgh police are hoping surveillance video will help them find a man who smashed a storefront window at the downtown Macy's store and stole 15 to 20 pairs of Levi's jeans on Christmas Day.
Officers responded to the burglary alarm about 1 p.m. Wednesday.
The video shows the man grabbing the jeans, which sell for about $60 a pair, and fleeing in a vehicle.
The store called in workers to clean up the glass and board up the broken window, which police say was smashed with a socket wrench or similar type of instrument.
The video shows a black man wearing a puffy black jacket, black jeans and a black and gray baseball cap.

Road Worrier: Punk-tuality
How many times have we said, "Come on, so what if I'm a few minutes late?" Well, I'm so glad I asked that question. First, let's speak honestly: Those among us who are habitually late are rarely "a few minutes late"; it's typically more like 20, 30, or more. Oh, and do get over the notion that it's "just part of my charm," cuz, pally, there ain't nothing charming about it. So join me, won't you, dear friends, as we examine the ripple effects of being late.
Say the band designates 4:30 p.m. as load-in time. When we show up 20 minutes late, it sets off a domino effect of counter-productivity. First and foremost, it's disrespectful of our bandmates. Nobody wants to bust their hump to be on time, only to have to get to work without the person whom, it appears, feels the rest of the band's time and efforts don't matter. BaBoom! Big ol' stinky vibe before we even walk through the venue door.
Next, we have missed load-in, which only increases the stink factor. Now we feel guilty, the band is grumbling, and we're only five minutes in. Clearly, this is rapidly turning into one of those nights when no one looks at each other on stage, musical intimacy is nonexistent, and everyone – band and audience alike – suffer for it.
But wait, there's more: Sound check is pushed back. Depending on our slot in the show we're either eating up someone else's precious check time or we've lessened our own. Or both. Now, although it can be argued that, for some inexplicable reason, the sound on stage is never the same as it was at sound check, we've reduced that possibility even further by decreasing the time available to get a comfortable onstage mix.
So, let's recap, shall we? Everyone's noses are out of joint, the stage is redolent of resentment, but at least the monitors suck. Now we get to race to shove our food down our necks, get cleaned up, and center ourselves for the show.
The solution, you ask? Two simple words (which in theory sound easy but for the punctually challenged are in fact quite difficult): leave earlier. I learned this trick from a punctual friend: Imagine every appointment is at the airport. It doesn't matter what great players we might be, if we show up late to the airport, that plane is leaving without our great-playin' heineys.

It was Utah's best and most complete performance of the young basketball season.
In a sport where things are often overanalyzed, the above sentence served as the prevailing opinion on Friday night, following the Utes' 67-51 win over Central Michigan in the second game of Utah's Thanksgiving Tournament.
It's hard to argue the point.
Sacramento State provided a manual of how to lose a lead in the final eight minutes. Utah survived Idaho State on Wednesday as much as it defeated the Bengals. Against the Chippewas, however, the Utes were the better team from start to finish.
"I thought it all started on the defensive end," senior guard Jarred DuBois said. "We kind of made it snowball from there. We got stops, and we got comfortable on the offensive end. I definitely think it was our best game of the season."
In front of 7,599 at the Huntsman Center, Utah led pretty much the whole game, turning a tie game early into an 18-8 lead with a 10-0 run. The simple story is that the Utes built the lead from there, never trailed, and were never seriously threatened.
Going deeper, however, Utah has clearly made a few improvements in the span of a week. The Utes never let Central Michigan back into the game with bad shots and wasted possessions like they did against Sacramento State. They looked much more fluid offensively and defensively than they did against Idaho State.
DuBois, a transfer from Loyola Marymount, played the best game of his young Utah career, scoring 20 points, handing out five assists and grabbing five rebounds. He cut the Chippewas up off the dribble, and calmly sank 3-pointers when the defense played off in fear of his penetration.
"For all that he did, I think his best contribution was on the defensive end," Ute head coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "I think with him being such an important player at his previous school that he thought he would automatically step in and have the same role. But you have to earn that, and with us, we needed him to play better defensively. He did that today."
As a duo, DuBois and junior point guard Glen Dean were too much for the Chippewas. If DuBois wasn't scoring, it was Dean, who dropped in 13. Freshman Jordan Loveridge had eight points and nine rebounds, and Dallin Bachynski combined with Jason Washburn to score 15 points.
The Utes (3-1) dominated nearly every statistical category. They used their size to score buckets in the paint. They got out on the fast break when they forced turnovers. Defensively, Utah held CMU guard Kyle Randall to four points on 1-of-11 shooting. Austin Keel wasn't much better for his team, going 2-of-11 and scoring just six points.
With two of Central Michigan's best players on ice, getting stops became easier as the game progressed.
Utah will face Wright State on Saturday on the last night of the tournament.
"I think everyone's energy level went up in the final eight minutes," DuBois said. "I think that's what we learned from the Sacramento State loss. We can't let up. If we want to get wins, we have to play 40 minutes every night."

I am having trouble getting any of my bluetooth devices to work on my evo 4g lte. When I first got the phone, everything seemed to be working fine. I don't use my bluetooth headset often (jawbone icon) but it did work for awhile and I was able to use it. One time, it wouldn't connect so I charged the headset and re-paired it and still nothing worked. Since this was a somewhat old model, I purchased the newer jawbone icon hd. upon receiving it, it also would not pair with my phone. When that happened, I had a friend search for the headsets, and sure enough BOTH of them were recognizeable...so I know it isn't an issue with my headset or compatibility (since it worked previously). At that time, I did the reboot where you hold the power button over 10 seconds until it shuts off and restarts. Immediately after doing that, both devices were able to be paired and used...for about an hour. After the headset randomly shut off, I have since not been able to get either headset to connect. I tried the same reboot again and it did not work this time. I have tried unpairing and re-pairing the devices and since they "are not found" I cannot get them to pair again. I have tried this multiple times with turning my phone off and on in about every different way possible in different order of resetting my bluetooth settings. Nothing is working! I do have all of the latest updates installed on my phone. I cannot think of any reason as to why it is not working. my devices are able to be found and connected to on both my brothers and mothers evo 4g lte's.
If anyone has any ideas for me to try, please let me know. I would like to prevent the factory reset (the only thing I can think of I havent tried - I read that it didnt even work for a lot of people who had tried it) so I don't have to reset everything up on my phone and risk losing information in texts, etc.
Sidenote - I took my phone into a sprint repair center and after pulling up my account, she said that depending on the issue, it could cost $50 to look at it since I didnt have insurance on my plan. I told her that I purchased insurance through best buy where I bought the phone and she just told me that I should "just take it there then". After I asked if she could at least have them look at it to see if it is fixable without the charge (of opening the phone up) she took it to the back for about a minute and came back and said I would need to take it to best buy - I'm not sure they even looked at it since they knew I had insurance with someone else. Once I got to best buy, the only option they gave me was to forfeit the phone and they would ship me a new one. I really dont want to be without my phone for 2 weeks! Especially if there is a simple fix that can be done. Please help!!! And thank you
Without TEP, Sprint won't look at it without you paying the $35 fee, not sure why they said $50 unless it's increased recently and I missed it. Your bet bet is taking it back to Best Buy, they will give you a loaner phone (POS) and order you a new one if it can't be corrected.
I also don't see any reference to which version OS you are running? Is this the latest 3.16.XXXXXX or another version?
I have the same exact issues. My phone has always been paired with my vehicle, which has microsoft sync. After jelley bean, it started disconnecting from the vehicle. Then they had the update to Jellybean, and I thought it fixed the problem. It did for the first day, and then it started again. Now it wont even find the vehicle to pair it anymore. rediculous. I would love a solution to this problem. Having a hands free vehicle is nice, but a wast of money if the stupid phone doesnt work.
Sounds as if your on the latest update and since it's still doing it, it sounds as if it's an issue with the Bluetooth functionality with the phone.
Have either of you tried re-pairing while booted into Safe Mode? Other then that, not much else you can do but try a Hard Reset to verify it's definitely an issue with the Device/OS.
smotrs, thanks for your reply! Here is some more info on my phone:
Hardware - 0003
Software - 3.16.651.3 710RD
Bluetooth - 4.0
I havent tried the re-pairing in safe mode. How would I try that? Thanks for your help!
Yeah its $50 now. No more 35.
Boot to Safe Mode by Restarting the Phone. At first White boot screen, press and hold the Volume Down button until fully booted. You'll see Safe Mode in the bottom left corner.
At that point, simply goto your settings, delete the current Bluetooth devices and then re-pair them. The phone wil lcontinue to run in Safe Mode and you cna test as long as possible. To exit Safe Mode, simply Restart Phone.
What this will do is simply deactivate all 3rd party apps and settings to see if it's Hardware and/or OS related. Theres still the possibility that some app is still causing an issue that only a HR can remove. Since only an HR will truly remove all 3rd party related apps and settings. But try the above first before going that far.
I tried the Safe Mode pairing as mentioned above, and it did not work. I ended up taking the phone into Best Buy and talked to them about it. We ended up doing the factory reset in the store and after that it still could not see any bluetooth devices (which the girl said there were tons in the store at all times). They gave me a loaner and I should be getting my replacement sometime next week. Of course, it will be refurbished and then there is the whole deal of messing with getting a new zaag screen protector sent to me as a replacement. Thanks everyone for your help and input.
Thought that might be the case the way it was going for you.
Good luck with the new phone and let me know if it works when you get it.
SCCRCHIK20 - I noticed that I have the exact same problem as described by you above. It will no longer connect to devices that it was already paired to. I have unpaired but cannot repair any handsfree or headset devices to the phone any longer. I have practically tried with every single piece of bluetooth devices around the house and two different car models (Nissan and Infiniti) to no avail.
It is not clear when it started happening since I don't recall the last time I used hands free bluetooth in my car but I'm pretty sure it was working as late as February 22 2013 (based on call history being in my car on that day). I do have the latest updates (including the last one in January) and confirmed I have same hardware/software version you listed above. This cannot be a coincidence as I saw someone else also replied above having the same problem. There has got to be something software related that has caused this recently to this phone. This is really frustrating as, like you, I purchased the phone at Best Buy (June 2012) but did not opt to buy any insurance on it. I have not attempted to call them yet as I don't know if they will even help me, let alone Sprint.
What have been your result with the refurbished phone? Did you install latest updates (JB in Dec 2012, and other MR in Jan 2013)?
As frustrating as it was to deal with best buy and have a loaner phone for 4-5 days, it has been worth it so far. My new (refurbished) phone hasn't had any problems yet - with bluetooth or anything else. The first thing I did when I got it was make sure it was up to date on all the upgrades. Im afraid they might not be able to help much without the insurance plan, but I'm not sure.
I did this and it worked again, until i restarted my phone, then same thing..does that mean an app is interfering? how can I find out which one? Thanks!

Our postage costs keep going up, and now the U.S. Post Office says that in August it intends to stop delivering letters to us on Saturdays. What's going on? Well, Time Magazine reports that "the biggest obstacle to postal reform, by far, is the problem of funding Congressionally mandated pre-retiree health benefits."
In 2006, Republicans in Congress pushed through a bill forcing the Post Office to pre-fund health benefits for future retirees 75 years into the future at a cost of around $5.5 billion a year. No other business or government agency is required to do that, including Post Office competitors UPS and Fed Ex.
So we're paying higher postage costs to help pay for the benefits of some people who aren't even born yet. And that's assuming the Post Office will even be around that long.
It would save money if we took that 75 year pre-funding law and wrote "return to sender" on it.

The University of Louisville has fallen head-over-heels in love with New Orleans. Is it any wonder why?
The men's basketball team played here in the Final Four last year and came close to upsetting mighty – and hated – Kentucky. The football team popped heavily favored Florida in the Allstate Sugar Bowl in January.
And now the women's basketball team has continued its Cinderella run through the NCAA Tournament.
The Lady Cardinals rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat California, 64-57, in the first semifinal of the 2013 Women's Final Four on Sunday night in the New Orleans Arena.
"There is no better place for big events than New Orleans,'' said Louisville President James Ramsey. "We love New Orleans.''
Could there be a better time to be a Louisville fan? The men and women's teams will play for their respective national championships. Cardinals quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be back next season to lead what will probably be a Top 10 team. Even the Louisville Nine is ranked in the top 10 of some collegiate baseball polls.
The Louisville women (29-8) may be the most improbable of all the programs, though. The fifth-seeded champ from the Oklahoma City Regional, knocked off another higher-seeded squad, second-seeded Cal, the Spokane, Wash., Regional titlist, and will meet the winner of the Notre Dame-Connecticut semifinal Tuesday for the national championship. The Cardinals will be the lowest seed to ever play for the women's crown.
It was Louisville that pulled off the biggest upset of all in the women's tournament, knocking off top-ranked Baylor. The momentum certainly hasn't waned.
"This is a team of destiny,'' said Louisville sophomore forward Sara Hammond, who finished with nine points. "It proves we have the best coaches in men and women's basketball in the country. (Louisville men's) Coach (Rick) Pitino talked to us. We have Coach (Jeff) Walz, who is now the mad scientist of basketball. It just shows our program is on the rise.''
But this certainly didn't come easily and, after the first half, it didn't look like it wouldn't come at all.
Cal (32-4) took a 37-27 halftime lead by out-muscling the Lady Cardinals on the boards and beating them back in transition.
That changed in the second half as Louisville limited the Lady Bears to only 20 points in the final 20 minutes. Cal players said the Cardinals' junk defenses – primarily a 1-3-1 zone that limited touches by the Lady Bears post players – gave them fits. Louisville forced 19 Cal turnovers, a key stat in the game, said Cal Coach Lindsay Gottlieb.
"A stat sheet doesn't always tell the story of the game but I think this one does,'' said Gottlieb, whose squad shot 59 percent in the first half but only 30 percent in the second. "We didn't score in the second half. They totally affected our pace. We had a hard time breaking them down and getting the looks we wanted in the second half, and so then we didn't get inside (lane) touches.
"And off of our inability to score they got some good open looks in transition. They made some nice adjustments. And then when they would score, we had a hard time attacking their presses as cleanly as we would have liked to.''
But Walz said this game turned simply because Louisville played better on offense in the second half. Louisville was 10 of 25 from the field in the first half (40 percent) but made 11 of 22 in the second half, including 4 of 9 from 3-point range.
"We really didn't try to change a whole bunch (on defense),'' Walz said. "We did try to come out and play some man. But what happened was we finally started to get a little more patient on the offensive end. It was probably one of the poorest defensive efforts we've had in terms of following the scouting report.
"We finally started rebounding the ball a little better. They were just abusing us on second-chance points in the first half. I believe they had 10 and in the second half ended up with four. But the main thing was we found a way to score.''
Junior guard Antonita Slaughter was the primary perimeter weapon. She made six 3-pointers and led the Cardinals with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting. Teammate Bria Smith, a sophomore guard, added 17 points.
"Antonita is the best shooter on our team and she doesn't even believe it herself,'' Hammond said. "I think she finally realized it's (the season) coming to the end of the road. There's nothing left. She's just got to let it fly.''
Louisville played catchup most of the night and it looked like Cal might weather the storm with 5:21 to play when Gennifer Brandon capped a 5-0 run with a bucket to give Cal a 52-46 lead.
But Louisville took over from there. The Lady Cards went on a 7-0 run to take a 53-52 lead with 3:40 to play.
The teams exchanged the lead after that.
But after Cal guard Layshia Clarendon, who led the Lady Bears with 17 points, hit a 3-pointer with 1:53 to play to tie the game at 57, the Lady Bears failed to score again.
Hammonds made a layup with 1:28 to play, was fouled and made the free throw for a 60-57 lead. Smith added two free throws with 17 seconds to make it 62-57 and after a missed 3-pointer by Brandon with six seconds left, the Cardinals were on their way to the championship game.
Cal was 0-for-6 from the field in the final 1:12, including missing four 3-point shots.
"From our end, we have one more game,'' Walz said. "I told the kids they're stuck with me in practice for one more day. It's a remarkable group of young ladies.''
A group that is making a remarkable run in a city in which Louisville seems quite comfortable and happy.

April 22, 2008
National Press Club
I am Frank Sotomayor of USC Annenberg's Institute for Justice and Journalism and I am honored to be here today to speak about Ruben Salazar.
Today we honor Ruben Salazar as a journalism trailblazer and as an important voice in American history.
His legacy still burns strongly among countless journalists, educators and public servants who were inspired by his words.
Salazar will always be known as "the first" in many respects. Born in Mexico, he grew up in the West Texas town of El Paso, where he began his journalism career. After working in Northern California, he joined the Los Angeles Times in 1959, later becoming its first Mexican American foreign correspondent, reporting from the Dominican Republic, the Vietnam war and Mexico.
When Salazar returned from Mexico to L.A, he found a vastly changed political scene. During those turbulent 1960s, the Chicano movement had erupted, and activists were challenging a system they considered unjust.
Salazar had always considered himself a reporter and observer, not an advocate. But as he reported on the evolution of Mexican Americans, he began evolving himself.
He started writing a column that gave him leeway to publish his opinions -- and he continued to write the Times column when he moved to KMEX, a Spanish-language TV station, as news director.
In this 21st century, as we know, Mexican Americans and other Latinos hold important political and corporate positions and Latinos are the nation's largest population of color. Things were different in the 1960s. Mexican Americans in L.A. were politically powerless – without a single City Council member or a single county supervisor. Some Mexican Americans were victims of housing covenants that restricted where they could live or of school counselors who discouraged them from going to college.
Examining these conditions, Salazar delivered one hard-hitting commentary after another.
In early 1970, he stated, "Mexican Americans, though indigenous to the Southwest, are on the lowest rung scholastically, economically, socially and politically. Chicanos feel cheated. They want to effect change. Now."
Salazar was tough on L.A.'s law enforcement officers when he found they were out of line. He rebuked a judge for using racist language. He skewered people who looked down on Spanish while touting the value of foreign languages. And he did not shy away from coming down on Chicano activists either.
Slowly, the city's leaders began to pay notice as Salazar spoke truth to power.
His columns caught my attention in faraway Japan while I was in the Army. Like other Mexican Americans, I felt Salazar
spoke for us, that he reflected what was in our hearts—even if we did not necessarily agree with each of his positions.
I applied to the Times and hoped to meet Salazar. I was excited as I left the Army on August 29th, 1970. Unbeknown to me, Salazar was killed on that same day in East Los Angeles while he was on assignment, covering a giant Chicano antiwar protest that turned ugly.
For reasons that are still impossible to comprehend, a Sheriff's Deputy fired a tear-gas projectile into a small bar where Salazar had stopped with a colleague. The projectile struck Salazar in the head, killing him.
In a eulogy to Salazar, then-Times publisher, Otis Chandler, said:
He had a keen sense of perspective and introspection in explaining…the hopes, the dignity and the bitter frustration of the minority population, particularly the very large and neglected Mexican American community – a community the Times had largely overlooked until Ruben made us aware of this fact."
As I began work at the Times a month later, I realized that there were very few Latino journalism role models. Salazar became an inspiration to me, to my colleague Frank del Olmo and to a generation of other Latinos.
Wanting to create something meaningful after his death, we formed the California Chicano News Media Association. Our goal was to encourage young Latinos to enter the media and to improve news coverage. CCNMA presents the Salazar journalism awards each year. And the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, working to increase newsroom diversity, awards Salazar scholarships annually to college students.
While Salazar will always be remembered as an advocate for Mexican Americans, I see his work in a broader context, as advocating for the best values of American democracy: fairness, justice, equality.
Today has been proclaimed Ruben Salazar Day in Los Angeles and the L.A. Times will host a celebration in honor of the Salazar stamp. Guests of honor will be Salazar's two daughters, one son and seven grandchildren.
Also to be acknowledged there is Olga Briseño, director of the Media, Democracy & Policy Initiative at the University of Arizona. We are thankful to Olga for gathering letters and petitions from 13 hundred individuals and groups -- to bring Salazar's legacy to the attention of the Postal Service.
Finally, I want to thank the U.S. Postal Service for issuing these stamps. Originally, they were to be 41-cent stamps. But, in line with the upcoming postal rate hike, the stamps will be 42 centers.
This is one rate increase I totally support.
You see, Salazar was 42 years old when he was killed. And as his daughter, Lisa Salazar Johnson, told me: the 42 on the stamp will always remind her of his love and accomplishments during 42 years of life.
Today, we honor Ruben Salazar, a great American journalist.

I am tired of seeing Aaron Heilman cost the Mets games.
Tired of seeing him throw batting practice to opposing teams as he tries to salvage his career from a slump that's deteriorated into a downward spiral. I'm tired of hearing him get booed.
It's time for GM Omar Minaya to get this poor guy out of the line of fire and send him to Triple-A on one of those voluntary "Steve Trachsel Figure Things Out" respites.
Heilman cost the Mets another win tonight when he was called into a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning and left it a 5-1 game.
Someone smarter than I needs to figure out why left-handed batters are raking Aaron at a .355 clip with four home runs this season when they batted .234 against him in 2007 and .231 in 2006.
Ya gotta believe

While nothing is ever an absolute certainty, the odds that the Joss Whedon produced series would wind up on ABC's fall schedule were exceptionally good. The cast also features Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Brett Dalton, Elizabeth Henstridge, and Chloe Bennett.

Wines From California
> Edna Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ]
Size: 750ml.
Producer: Edna Valley
The grapes for Edna Valley Vineyard's Cabernet Sauvignon were selected from some of the best vineyards of northern San Luis Obispo County. Their criteria for these vineyards included well-drained soils, favorable hillside locations, and owners who truly desire to "grow" good wine. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was aged in French and American oak barrels to mature slowly and develop complexity.
This Cabernet features luscious blackberry, chocolate, and coffee flavors, with spicy aromas of black pepper and vanilla. With full, slightly masculine tannins and a bit of oak, the creamy finish pulls it all together for a lasting impression. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled steak, roast beef and savory stews.

KSS fights, falls to familiar foes
TACOMA Rain wasnt the only thing streaming down the faces of some of Klahowyas softball players Saturday.
The Eagles, eliminated in an 11-1, five-inning loss against Sequim, exited the 2A West Central District tournament with a tearful realization: The end had arrived.
It wasnt too tough coming in facing them, Klahowya shortstop Brittany Devitt said of playing Olympic League foes North Mason and Sequim. The hardest part is that this is the last game Ill play with my friends. Weve been best friends since we were 9 years old. Its just hard to say goodbye to them. Its too bad. But things happen for a reason.
Devitt was one of five Klahowya seniors who saw the Eagles season end at districts for the third consecutive year. The team last made state in 2004.
Its hard, but we went out there and did what we could, fellow senior Kelly Kela said. As our last year, we wanted to go out there and do good. We went out there every game and tried our best. Yeah, we lost a few games. But we tried.
Ivy Detweiler, Michelle Persall and Sumer Skelly also were senior starters for Klahowya. The Eagles finished the season 11-10. Klahowya began districts with a nail-biter, joining their baseball counterparts in ending Fifes season with a 2-1 win Saturday morning.
Klahowya starter Kazandra Holliday got the complete-game win and catcher Jocylynn Meadows drove both runs in with a double. Kim Houde also went 2-3 for Klahowya.
The second round wasnt as kind, as the Eagles saw the first of two Oly League counterparts in North Mason. The Bulldogs rolled 10-1 en route to the 2A district title. Breanna Stanley saw some time on the hill in relief of Holliday, who went 2-2 with a double at the plate in that contest.
Against Sequim, the team simply ran out of time.
Its tough. For the seniors especially, first-year Klahowya coach Richard Romero said. Theyre not gonna get another chance. They were really counting on getting there. Our goal was to get to state. You cant fault the girls for their effort. They never quit fighting to the very end.
While hell miss all of his seniors, Romero knows hell be lucky to see another like Devitt any time soon.
The leadership, Brittany especially, he said. A player like that comes in once every 10-15 years. I just wish I could have been with her all four years.
Devitt, bound for Indiana University, said while the loss was sad, theres more happy moments to look back on than anything else.
Being able to share memories with my friends, Devitt said. Breaking the home run record last year. And so many others. Its been a really good experience. Its too bad it had to end before we went to state.
Kela too said growing up with her teammates is something that took the teams relationship far beyond the foul lines.
Our team was just always really close. Wed always hang out, Kela said. Just to know youre a part of a group thats really accepting. Having all these friends so close. Thats the best part.
Romero said the year was a learning experience for him and he hopes to come back stronger next season from a coaching standpoint.
For me, it was a steep learning curve, Romero said. I learned a lot. Im going to be much more prepared next year.
And with some youth coming in, Klahowya will need all the talent it can get in replacing a large senior core. Key players like Meika Bumbalough, Holliday, Meadows and more will return as well.
Weve got a lot of young players coming up, Romero said. I look forward to working with them.

The night took on a whole new meaning shortly after Kermit Ruffins' first set when the N.O.P.D. was forced to shut down St. Charles Avenue due in part to over 3000 locals who came to hear the trumpeter's first set back in New Orleans. This year music will be provided by The Tin Men, a trio of New Orleans' finest including Alex McMurray, Washboard Chaz and Matt Perrine.

Chess.com's 7th Blitz "Match of Death" will take place on Sunday, July 29th at 3pm Pacific (6pm Eastern) time. The match is set to feature the highest rated player in Filipino history, Grandmaster Wesley So, against the youngest Grandmaster in American history, Ray Robson.
Both So and Robson are ranked in the top 20 in the world on the current FIDE Top Juniors list, and both can boast many international and national chess accomplishments. Wesley So, the "favorite on paper" became a Grandmaster at the age of 14, was the winner of the Corus Wijk Aan Zee International chess tournament (C-Group) in January 2009, and is currently ranked just outside the top 100 in the world.
Born in Guam, but a "Florida Native", Ray Robson became America's youngest Grandmaster Elect in history in October of 2009. Ray has been considered one of the brightest chess stars in America since the age of 12, has won numerous national scholastic titles and competed in multiple US Chess Championships.
This exciting matchup pits two of the world's brightest young stars against each other, but perhaps just as interesting is that it pits two "future teammates" -- as both will be attending Webster University in the fall, competing for the SPICE team in all collegiate and Pan-American events.
All the action will be covered live on Chess.com/TV, with live commentary by IMs Daniel Rensch and David Pruess and other special guests. The broadcast is open to all members of Chess.com!

Proud of our very own young gun,keep it Wesley.....
I was highly impressed. There were a few games where the tactics were flying and Robson or both players would be in time trouble. Excellent stuff. These kids have the stuff, I cannot imagine what a few years of the school they are attending will do for them.
You're welcome RayDuqueIII. I believe both players have bright future. Who knows, maybe one will become world champion someday.
Thank you for the information Maxwell. That's why it was 23-9. So won the overall game. I though they played only one game for 3 hours.
As I said, I was not able to watch the game because we went out for a get together with our friends.
Ray Duque III (GMBD), New York City
But watch out the progress of Ray. Im sure he will learn fine lessons here in this matchups. I do believe he is a late bloomer like Fischer. fischer became world champ at 29 years old. He may just be the next US bobby Fischer. who knows?
oops. im late in the news. 23-9 Wes won? great game for Wesley. I knew he will win. Wes is a master in speed or rapid chess like blitz and bullet chess. His level in speed games is with the likes of Hikaru and Levon. Of course thats my opinion. We had to see yet Wes play in World blitz matches.
hello whats the latest score Wes vs. Ray?
Ray played well but took WAY too long to move and wound up in horrible time trouble nearly every game. Ray needs to forget speed chess and do what he does best - calculate. IMO, anyway.
Good job on Rensch and Pruess for colorful commentating!
the Philippine kid is just wonderful and phenomenal. Congratulations to both.. many bright futures ahead of you.......
wow...SO wins.....
we're watching so 1 year ago, and his batchmates were caruana, giri, negi etc...and from the games, he is matched/equalled with them. Right now, wesley is left behind (by months now) because he's idle for quiet sometime (maybe busy for entering college). His batch now is in the category A...He has a lot to do to catch up, but for sure he can climb up and get that 2700+ mark as his mates did...
Is there are link where we can see the games for review?
He had a decent amount of people rooting for him, even though it was very early and many people in the Phillipines probably missed the match. He was very nice and gracious. A good player, good disposition. I will keep my eye out for this kid! I believe he has a very bright future in chess. (As if GM at such a young age wasn't bright enough!)
as expected WES won.... i think its more quite good for wesley so to migrate in the US than staying in PH.. BUT still he's proud to bear the PH flag... He'll probably took not enough exposure in he's native land. Wes is so talented he'll probably be able to be one of those top 10 in FIDE in the future GIVEN a chance of having an excellent COACH... W/C UNFORTUNATELY PH GOV'T CAN'T AFFORD!
Wesley played very strong, and quickly to boot. He left Robson in time trouble nearly every game. After watching that, they should have the winners of Deathmatches play each other. He would match up well against loads of good players by the way he played.
Yes, RayDuqueIII. You are correct. Wesley won: 23 - 9
so what's the result of the match//?
who won?
I was not able to watch the game because we had a get together with our friends. Somebody told me that they played 32 games. So won 23 games and Robson won 9 games. Is it correct?

TRURO ŌĆō Many changes are coming to the Truro Mall with stores opening, stores closing and a restaurant undergoing renovations.
There are many changes coming to the Truro Mall - Bizou has just opened, Medicine Shoppe will be opening in December, Jungle Jim's is under renovation, and, along with the closure of Zellers, Athlete's World will close up shop at the end of January.
Jackie Johnston, marketing manager with Strathallen Property Management Inc., is excited about whatŌĆÖs in store.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre always looking for new options for our customers, so to have Bizou join us is a good fit,ŌĆØ Johnston said about the new ladies fashion jewelry store that opened its doors on Thursday.
Along with Bizou, customers to the mall will soon see Medicine Shoppe opening up just when walking in the mall entrance between Sears and Payless ShoeSource.
The store will be locally owned, with more than 500 square feet of space. ItŌĆÖs expected to open in December.
While the news of Zellers closing in March has already been announced, AthleteŌĆÖs World is facing closure at the end of January after Canadian Tire, who took over the Forzani Group in May of 2011, announced this past May it was closing all AthleteŌĆÖs World stores in Canada.
Jungle JimŌĆÖs, which occupies an exterior space and entrance, is currently closed for renovations. It closed Nov. 19 and should re-open by the end of the month.

I completely agree. I am active duty AF and have been in for almost 16 years. I have deployed numerous times, in fact I am currently deployed and due to return in the next few weeks.

Despite rumors swirling that she's been axed from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Georgia peach Kim Zolciak seemed to be in great spirits as she stopped by New York Live on Wednesday.
Rocking a fitted teal frock and a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps, Kim showed off her style, as well as her growing baby bump, before she headed inside the studio.
With both a baby and a spin-off show on the way, Kim sure has a lot to be happy about these days!

Trying to determine the most environmentally friendly autos is like comparing apples and oranges. Highly efficient internal combustion engines are difficult to measure against hybrids. Yet traditional car engines that get great mileage add to the picture of vehicles that are getting greener. Given their wide diversity, we present these 14 vehicles as a collection of very clean 2013 cars, rather than ranking them according to their greenness.
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from the Kelley Blue Book to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars came up again and again as vehicles that were excellent at either stretching fuel or reducing one's carbon footprint.
Some automakers have contributed more than others to greening our highways. Toyota made five of the environmentally friendly vehicles on this list. Honda made four, and Ford made three (if you count Lincoln as part of Ford). Other major automakers, including GM and Nissan, had only one vehicle make the list.
This is relatively new territory for automakers, so we can expect to see the list change considerably in the future, especially given the coming CAFÉ standards.

I would agree that the question of the level of green of different alternatives can be complex. I'm not an expert in the area. But I do find the report "State of Charge; Electric Vehicles' Global Warming Emissions and Fuel-Cost Savings across the United States" by the Union of Concerned Scientist to provide a clear, thoughtful answer.
Their summary, in the chapter "Global Warming Emissions of Driving on Electricity" states, "The good news is that no matter where you live in the United States, electric vehicles charged on the power grid have lower global warming emissions than the average gasoline-based vehicle sold today. In some areas—where coal makes up a large percentage of the power plant mix—the most efficient gasoline-powered vehicles will actually deliver greater global warming benefits than EVs. In other areas of the country, however, where cleaner sources of electricity prevail, EVs are far and away the best choice."
To further quote from the report "Nearly half (45 percent) of Americans live in BEST regions—where an EV has lower global warming emissions than a 50 mpg gasoline-powered vehicle, topping even the best gasoline hybrids on the market. Charging an EV in the cleanest electricity regions, which include California, New York (excluding Long Island), the Pacific Northwest, and parts of Alaska, yields global warming emissions equivalent to a gasoline-powered vehicle achieving over 70 mpg."

Parkdale faces restaurant and bar moratorium
It's Ossington all over again. The stretch of Queen Street between Dufferin and Roncesvalles will not see any new bars or restaurants for at least a year if a temporary bylaw is allowed to run its course. Reported by NOW yesterday morning, the ban prohibits new hospitality businesses and forbids extensions or modifications to existing outlets in the area - including patios - in the hope of preventing the flourishing scene pushing out stores vital to the health of the area.
According to a staff report, complaints from local residents about increased noise, vandalism, garbage, and traffic congestion prompted councillor Gord Perks to push for the restrictions.
Joanna Kimont, a City of Toronto planner, says the action will allow city staff to properly complete a restaurant study on the area designed to report on how the bar boom is affecting the neighborhood. Though it's some way from completion, the study could restrict to the size and distribution of businesses along this stretch of Queen Street.
"Any applications that have already been submitted for a building permit or otherwise, those are being reviewed by our buildings division in conjunction with our legal staff to determine the status of the applications and how, if at all, they are impacted by this bylaw."
Popular taco and bourbon joint Grand Electric at Queen and Elm Grove submitted a liquor license application for a new second floor extension just a few months ago. It's still in the works, and the new embargo could delay the project at least while the city figures out how to handle active applications for alterations.
Further west at Capital Espresso, owner/operator Damien Zielinski thinks the restrictions won't help new startups or more established eating and drinking spots.
"It definitely contradicts the interests of small business people," he says. "I think when a new bar or restaurant opens on the strip it benefits all of us, speaking as someone who lives and works in the area."
"A lot of the small businesses here have created an atmosphere of success [but] are still working very hard. It's not like we're all laughing with business to spare."
Closer to Roncesvalles, John Silva, co-owner of Poor John's Cafe, is of a similar mind.
"For the people on the cusp of starting their businesses, it's a terrible thing to do to them for sure. I understand where this is coming from but this isn't the way to address it. It's like shutting the barn door after the horses have already gotten out."
Is it a good idea to slow the Parkdale boom or is this a blow to the local area? Should the city cap the number of restaurants and bars in Parkdale?

Whatever you do Toronto, don' t let big scary FOOD and creativity come in and ruin those safe and cheerful deserted storefronts.
Toronto. I'll never understand this place.
But an outright ban is just a simplistic non-solution.
I disagree with mobo that bars and restaurants bring retail. Their tendency is to expand and multiply until galleries, stores and services are pushed out of the neighbourhood and it becomes an "entertainment destination" rather than a community.
It's already happening because of parts & labour, 90% of their patrons don't live in parkdale and don't give a shit about the neighbourhood. Good on Gord Perks to take a breather and examine what's happening before it gets to a point where residents are moving out because of noise and obnoxious scenesters.
more crack heads and the mentally unstable!
lets keep Parkdale real!
Parkdale grow into the culinary destination it is sooo desperately wants to become, much unlike roncesvilles! Certainly Gord Perks had no problem with the city handing out
liquor licenses to anyone who wanted to start a business on roncy (who is a very residential area)
So why does he have such a problem with parkdale?
I believe that Gord Perks is holding back the gentrification
of parkdale for his own agenda and its u to us as residents to fight him
and get him out of office ... this guys' a CLOWN
In terms of legalities, I don't think you need notice for an interim control bylaw, but you need to enact a study. But think the fact that this study was begun 2 years ago is a complete farce. This ICBL is completely bad faith.
And as mentioned previously, this is all done to put a stop on Parts and Labour, and Wrongbar. This is to appease residents. It's not going to work anyways, the businesses will just wait just like on Ossington. An ICBL is a complete waste of time.
Parkdale puts a freeze on bars & restuarants? Good, there are more than enough already. So open a different business if you guys are such hot shot "entrepeneurs". The less drunks the better.
Parkdale is home to tons of new immigrants and/or low income people. There are thousands squished into apartments in the neighbourhood. But there isn't even a bakery on Queen Street, and no decent grocery store.
Bars and restos are great, but eighty per cent of the population will never see the inside of them.
(And to you again, mobo: you want to limit rooming houses, huh? Good luck with that... you'll be following in the footsteps of the many yuppies before you.)
But how does an interim control bylaw effect housing affordability? Do you really think that this ICBL has anything to do with the poor in Parkdale? It doesn't. If it did, Gord Perks would be on his soapbox imploring the city to urge the province to alter the Residential Tenancies Act and to get the Tower Renewal Department more funding. Instead he's sponsoring actions that appease homeowners that get him reelected.
There's much talk of how new immigrants couldn't possibly afford the (quite honestly, really expensive) bars on Queen Street, but the fact that there are now businesses making money in the area means that the immigrants won't have difficulty finding nearby jobs, giving them the money that they can, eventually, use to spend on the local economy.
I worked in PK for 3 years, and I can say the rapidly gentrifying Queen Street combined with the still working-class residents has made Parkdale probably the edgiest district in Toronto, and by far my favourite place there. Trying to control the free market can only make the existing bars and nightclubs much richer with little actual gains to the community; We won't see Queen lose any more of its boarded-up storefronts, only less work to be had along the street
Get some damn perspective.
Parkdale is exactly what Leslieville was 8 years
ago... I remember city councillors really spearheading the
gentrification of Leslieville (not hindering it) which gave the
Prospective bakery and little start-ups the confidence to go ahead and
Take a chance on the shithole that the Eastend was.
Gord Perks is the exact opposite! All you idiots that don't
want bars and restaurants in parkdale!??? I guess you prefer
Boarded up storefronts? Wake up every chef in town is clamering to get a liquor license in parkdale
But Gord Perks won't let them!
And to Gabe, who has lived in the nabe for 5 years and only gone out for dinner/drinks once or twice - I guess you sleep in Parkdale, but I wouldn't say *live* here.
And for that matter, Gord Perks is also a rare breed on council, representing a ward he doesn't live in.
You're hilarious contention that immigrants can find jobs at restaurants and bars in order to "afford" these gentrified places of business is ridiculous. Restaurants and bars provide the worst jobs for migrants, often paying them under the table, less than minimum wage, and no job security whatsoever. At best, someone might aspire to becoming a line cook and making just above poverty level wages. You're entire post is infuriating, it reads like a high school students first exposure to capitalism.
so this is no surprise.
The BIA needs to stick it to him. Perks will be the first to have 'a shooting up gallery' - a safe injection site in Parkdale so that the pushers will frequent Queen St. as before to sell their shit to the addict before going for their fix.
Now that would really set us back light-years.
Vote him out of office if you really care about building a balanced healthy community.
Also, you used the wrong 'your' every time.
I agree that the city should have a plan in place for growing new commercial zones, and they should do everything possible to encourage diversity - if only so we don't end up with entire blocks that only open after 5:00pm.
And if you really want to improve the area - crack down on some of the long standing 'violation' restaurants instead of limiting the new additions. Take a look at Friends on King, Sun Fa on Queen, Happy Time on Queen etc... The few remaining pockets are anchored by rathole bars. Deal with them and the area will drastically improve.
PS. There's a FreshCo at Queen and Gladstone, and another No Frills at King and Jameson, and Metro down in Liberty Village. Never mind several small groceries along Queen. Open your eyes. We did have a bakery once, but it burned down, remember? I miss that place. We have three drug stores (Shoppers, Rexall and the down at the heels IDA), several small convenience stores, several clothing stores, both vintage and new, plus the Sally Ann, a used bookstore, independent coffee places, a Vietnamse restaurant, a food co-op, a library, a big fabric store, a small fabric store that offers classes and rents time on sewing machines, several jewelry stores, plus a few places that were there before I moved into the neighbourhood, that family clothing store that I can't recall the name of. That's just a small number of thriving, non-bar/restaurant boom businesses that I can think of off the top of my head.
Hipsters? I'm 40 years old. I'm not sure what the fuck a hipster is.
Keep Parkdale Poor!
Way to go City. Clearly we have too much business going on. The only jobs councilors want are more public sector jobs that they can influence come election time.
We should get a new slogan. How about this?
Toronto: keep it lame.
I have lived in Parkdale long enough to remember what it was like before the bars and restaurants opened.
It was unsafe at night. I was threatened with stabbing walking to the corner store for smokes by looking at someone the wrong way. Fights, robbery, screams all hours of the night (on the same block as Parts and Labour is now).
Hookers owned the corners, johns prowled the streets night and day! Crackheads defecated in parks, winos pulled mattresses out of dumpsters and put them near the playgrounds in parkettes as a free place to flop, get bombed and fight.
Bystanders were getting shot and killed just walking past the gambling dens that pretended to by taverns (The club that was in the Wrong bar location - look it up).
And the cops could care less. Parkdale was more trouble that it was worth (I was this told by a beat cop).
And now, give me a break - black and white.
There are still gross parts (I mean you Queen and Jameson) but I am not taking my life in my hands going for a meal after dark. Police have a reason to patrol the streets when there are businesses with an investment to protect and decent people who are not looking for trouble (well, maybe too many cocktails and a easy hook-up).
The new places are doing their part in keeping things clean and controlled. The real assholes have moved on since they no longer have a seat at the table.
And we need to put a stop to this?
I think the problem is Perks doesn't live here, never lived here and will never live here. He was parachuted in by Miller to be his environmental deputy, not to serve the people of this community. He will never have a perspective on the hood and when his political days are over he will never return to visit.
There are good patrons to these, there are also bad. Lately we have numerous late night partiers stopping at 2:00 a.m. to use the local park as a place to relieve their overfull bladders. We've had fights in the laneway, including one where a very drunken male threatened to shoot his girlfriend (so cool!) and have had to clean up vomit from the sidewalk in front of the house on a number of occassions.
No this is not every night, and no it is not restaurants such as Satiasian, M&B Yummy, or Chantcler which are the source of the problem. Sadly, though our licensing commission does not recognize the difference between the two.
In all fairness to Gord Perks, he is not acting on his own. I have been on the e-mail chains and can confirm that a number of residents have been raising concerns. Gord has been specifically asked by a number of people to deal with the issue of the proliferation of bars in the neighbourhood and the subsequent problems.
We may not all agree, but he is acting at the request of at least some of his constituents. Let's hope the breather gives time to reach an accord on how to move forward and doesn't stunt the good progress we have seen!
CM, I can see your point, although I've not personally had issues with bar patrons. Then again, I live across the street from the Beer Store, so I have my own special issues from that. :)
Folks, commenting on the internet is one thing - attending a resident's association meeting or actually being involved in your community is another. Hope to see you all at the town hall meeting on the 26th of November.
As for having a healthy mix of businesses in the area, well let's remember that they are businesses - they should be able to survive by providing something that's needed and doing it well. We shouldn't be trying to program the commercial mix of the neighbourhood.
I've been living in Parkdale for 6+ years. Not that long, but long enough to witness significant change. Residing on Queen, I can attest to the fact that the strip has become MUCH nosier in recent years. The pre-wrongbar evenings were a dream — I slept like a baby. Not anymore. But oh well, I live on a busy artery and earplugs are cheap.
However, I'm still in favour of what Perks is after - more balance for the community. There is an overabundance of bars and we really don't need any more at the moment. Clubland is toast and people now party in smaller establishments all over the city. I get it. But, I think Parkdale has has been more-than-welcoming to the influx of revelers and it's time to maintain things without letting the post-midnight "scene" get any bigger. It's true that the older establishments like Stones Lounge are attracting a lot of the shit-faced youth, but that doesn't mean Parkdale shouldn't check it's speed and take a rest for a bit.
Who knew?

Lutefisk tradition extends beyond Poulsbo
The smells of lutefisk, meatballs, lefse and a cornucopia of other Scandinavian delicacies will fill the air Sunday as the Bremerton Sons of Norway Oslo Lodge hosts its annual lutefisk and meatball dinner.
The festivities begin at 11:30 a.m. and continue until 4:30 p.m., but lodge members have been preparing for the event long before tomorrows culinary celebration.
It takes a lot of people for this event, lodge president Susan Remmele said. Its one of our biggest events of the year.
In order to ensure that everything is ready for the large number of diners expected to fill the lodge Sunday, members have been working on the various elements of a successful dinner in a committee system, Remmele said.
We have a kitchen committee, a dining room committee and a food committee, she said. We have two shifts of workers for the event.
While Remmele was unsure of exactly when the lodges lutefisk dinner began, she said it is an important part of not only the lodges but the citys Scandinavian heritage.
Its very important because its one of the events where we can share our heritage with the public, she said.
Many lodges throughout the nation have lutefisk dinners, because the lye-soaked codfish is a traditional staple in most Scandinavian countries, she said.
People who are new to our area know about Poulsbo and its Norwegian heritage, she said. Its important for them to know that we have it here.
That heritage dates back to Al Blumley who founded the lodge in Bremerton, and its important to recognize the contributions of the Scandinavian culture in the local community, she said.
Although lutefisk and meatballs may be the headliners of Sundays event, other Scandinavian foods like potato lefse, krumkake and divinity fudge will be available as the lodges womens group will have its holiday bazaar in conjunction with the dinner, Remmele said.
There will be a lot of hand work for sale and our professional rosemauler will be selling items as well, she said.
Equally as important as the cultural aspect of the dinner, the event provides an opportunity for multiple generations to gather in a single location, she said.
We see people from all age groups, she said. We have members of our club who could be 90-years-old, their children, their grandchildren and their great grandchildren.
Because it is one of the lodges biggest events of the year, the dinner provides an opportunity for people to learn what the Sons of Norway is all about, she said.
Its also an opportunity for everyone to come together and socialize, Remmele said.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- An ailing tree will get a new home during a ceremonial tree planting as part of Arbor Day activities at Holden Arboretum in Kirtland this weekend.
The tree, a turkey oak, hasn't thrived in its current location near Holden's Sassafras Pond, said Peg Weir, manager of special and private events. It will be replanted near Holden's parking lot at 10 a.m. on Friday.
That event kicks off a weekend of activities that highlight the importance of trees to the Earth, Weir said. Trees cool our homes, add value to property, help absorb storm water run-off and provides habitat to wildlife.
Holden's Arbor Day takes place Friday through Sunday. Admission is free during this weekend.
Friday's activities start with the tree-planting ceremony and continue at 10:15 a.m., when Marian Williams, manager of information services, will give a presentation at an exhibit called "Trees, What Are They Worth." This exhibit and talk will relate important facts about trees and their place in Ohio's ecosystem, followed by a walk to appreciate some of Holden's trees. Free tree seedlings will be given away until 4 p.m.
On Friday evening, Morris Arboretum director Paul Meyer will give a talk on Morris Arboretum's international plant exploration activities from 7 to 9 p.m. at Holden's Corning Visitor Center.
Morris Arboretum is part of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Meyer is a leader in the field of plant exploration and evaluation, and has played a major role in the Morris Arboretum's restoration of its Victorian gardens and plant collections.
Registration is required for this program, which is free for Holden members and $5 for non-members.
Saturday and Sunday will be filled with educational family activities, guided walks, live music, food and a free white pine seedling give-away. Holden expects to distribute about 900 trees during the weekend, Weir said.
The Great Lakes Timber Show returns with tales of Canadian log drives and demonstrations of log rolling, chainsaw carving, axe throwing, wood chopping and more. If you're feeling brave, volunteer to be part of the timber show's two-man chainsaw demonstration.
If your family plans to hike Holden's grounds, first sign out a Tree Discovery Pack. This is a backpack filled with laminated information sheets, a seed collection box, and identifying information for seeds, flowers and pollinators, she said.
Parents and kids can have fun with the discovery pack, then return it before they leave Holden. "It keeps them outside; keeps them busy," Weir said.
Adventuresome youngsters who want a birds-eye view can put on a harness and climb a tree safely. Those who prefer to stay on the ground can enjoy hoop rolling, marbles, jacks and other games that our ancestors played.
Don't miss a chance to see a portable sawmill turn raw logs into lumber. "All the men seem to migrate to the portable sawmill," she said.
Here are some of the weekend's highlights:
11 a.m., noon, 2 and 3 p.m.: Guided walking tours leave from the Information Tent. View plants and vistas while learning about Holden's history. The terrain is easy and the walk takes about a hour.
10:30 a.m., 12:30 and 2:30 p.m.: Great Lakes Timber Show. This is an action-filled show featuring log rolling, chainsaw carving, axe throwing, wood chopping and more.
Ongoing activities include a tree seedling give-away (one per family), kids crafts and activities, portable sawmill demonstrations, stilt walking and more.
If You Go
Celebrate Arbor Day at Holden Arboretum with family-friendly activities highlighting the importance of trees.
10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
Free admission this weekend
9550 Sperry Road, Kirtland

NTSB: Pilot says plane lost power prior to landing
The pilot of a plane that made an emergency landing last month near the Waiehu shoreline reported a loss of engine power before making the forced landing, according to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board.
The pilot and three passengers weren't injured when the Piper Cherokee struck bushes and trees before stopping about 50 yards off Waiehu Beach down Lower Waiehu Beach Road at 4:20 p.m. June 16.
The plane had left Honolulu at 3:30 p.m. and was heading to Kahului Airport, with the three passengers returning home after playing in a U.S. Tennis Association tournament on Oahu.
The pilot told the NTSB investigator-in-charge that the plane was cruising at about 1,500 feet above sea level when he noticed a slight hesitation in the engine. "The pilot switched fuel tanks and verified the magneto and fuel selector positions," the report said.
"About five to 10 minutes later, the pilot noticed a second hesitation in the engine and performed his troubleshooting procedures a second time," according to the report. "Shortly after, the engine began to run rough and the pilot noticed that the engine revolutions per minute (RPM) was fluctuating between 1,500 and 2,450.
"Subsequently, the engine lost power, and the pilot initiated a forced landing to an open area."
The airplane struck bushes and trees before coming to rest in a "nose low" position, according to the report.
Examination by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector showed structural damage to the left wing and fuselage.
The plane was registered to Mokulele Iki LLC of Kihei.
A first attempt to transport the aircraft to another location ended June 18 when the plan spun wildly, and a helicopter crew cut it loose and it fell into the ocean. The plane was retrieved from the ocean June 20.
