Making the transition from professional truck driver to successful business owner is often very difficult. From longtime drivers who have dreamed of becoming their own boss to established owner-operators looking to improve their business performance, back office business support is an often-overlooked key to success.
To help owner-operators in today's fast-paced world of transportation, Schneider National is providing each new owner-operator who leases on with its Van Truckload division in 2013 with six free months of business consulting services from ATBS.
ATBS is an owner-operator business services provider in the United States. Business services for owner-operators provided by ATBS include: a personalized profit plan, monthly bookkeeping, monthly profit and loss statements, benchmarking, tax preparation and unlimited business and tax consulting.
When an owner-operator leases on with Schneider, they will be connected with one of ATBS's personal business consultants, who serves as a mentor and coach. The consultant will first help the owner-operator design a profit plan based on his/her personal situation and business goals. Settlement statements are automatically sent weekly from Schneider to ATBS; other business information can be transmitted to ATBS in the manner most convenient for the owner-operator (e.g., email, cell phone photos, postal mail).
This data is then used to create a monthly profit and loss statement that benchmarks the owner-operator against their database of 40,000 clients. This process highlights precisely where the owner-operator is performing well and where changes can be made to maximize profitability.
In addition, ATBS serves as the owner-operator's bookkeeper and processes all of his/her paperwork. ATBS also produces quarterly tax estimates and performs year-end tax services.
Owner-operators and drivers interested in business or career opportunities with Schneider National can visit www.schneiderjobs.com.
You are an OWNED operator as long as any company has their tracking garbage in your truck.As long as they regulate your truck speeds, your hours of service and they buy the base plate all you are is the fool that foots the bill for delivering their freight.
Going on your own and being your own boss can definately be challenging and a bit scary especially if you've never done it before. I like what Schneider is doing for the drivers who wants to venture off on their own. For the drivers it should give them more confidence knowing for the first 6 months they have free business consultants working with them.

I guess it's Geoffrey's birthday or something. Don't know how old he is, but I guess in honor of whatever age he is at, Toys R Us is having a big fat sale over it. The banner on the outside said buy two get the third free. When I was there I only found one figure I needed and forgot to ask the cashier so I didn't get to see how this sale applies. If it is buy two of the same thing to get another of the same free I could see how this would be great for getting the four packs or Clone Wars ships.
Anybody else see this at their respective Toys R Us's, if so how'd you fare on anything you may have bought?

DOJ: Florida Voting Restrictions May Discriminate Intentionally
Several counties in Florida are covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires states with a history of racial discrimination to have changes to their election laws precleared by the Justice Department or a panel of judges in D.C. The feds objected to provisions of the law in a court filing earlier this month.
Restrictions on third-party voter registration, which forces individuals conducting voter registration drives to get permission from the state and turn in voter registration cards within 48 hours, caused groups like the League of Women Voters to end their voter registration efforts.

Here's the reasoning, as laid out by Andy Mitchell, Facebook's director of News and Global Media Partnerships: Every day, news is made on Facebook. More than 1 billion people already use the social networking platform to discover, explore and take part in headline-making events around the world.
FB Newswire, Mitchell said, aims to make it easier for journalists and newsrooms to find, share and embed newsworthy content from Facebook in the media they produce. Will journalists buy it?
News Audience Increasing
"The most interesting part with FB Newswire for me is the fact that it could help me reach first-hand sources who would be updating their FB timelines and profiles with this information," wrote Itika Sharma Punit, a blogger for the Business Standard, a financial publication in India. "Maybe, I can try and connect with them directly if I wish to get more information, (So, no more making random phonecalls to people, trying to find first-hand sources?)"
FB Newswire aggregates content shared publicly on Facebook by individuals and organizations around the world so journalists can use it in their reporting. The wire will include original photos, videos and status updates posted by people on the front lines of major events like protests, elections and sporting events, and verified by Facebook.
"News is finding a bigger audience on Facebook than ever before. Journalists and media organizations have become an integral part of Facebook, which is visible in features like Trending Topics, improvements to Pages, and recent changes to News Feed," Mitchell said. "Publishers are seeing the results of our commitment, with referral traffic from Facebook to media sites growing more than four times in 2013, and we're excited to deepen our relationship with media organizations and journalists in the days to come."
Will Marketers Like It?
We've heard what at least one journalist thinks of FB Newswire, but what do online marketers have to say? We caught up with Nipa Shah, founder of the online marketing firm Jenesys Group, to get her take on what kind of effect FB Newswire could have on the market.
"Hopefully it will reduce access costs to get the news out and give consumers better reach due to targeted audiences available through Facebook's amazing demographic data," Shah told us. "A study long ago reported that 70 percent of reporters get their story ideas from social media. That percentage is definitely greater now, and with FB Newswire stories will get enhanced visibility faster. I'm excited to see how I can use it for my clients."

Once just a tiny fishing village on the north coast of Fuerteventura, Corralejo's harbour now receives ferries full of day-trippers from Playa Blanca in Lanzarote every day and the town plays host to hundreds of holidaymakers who are drawn to spend a sunny, sandy holiday in the island's tourist magnet. Although tourism is booming and development is keeping pace, the little port still retains its charm. Just outside the town is a protected nature reserve festooned with miles of sand dunes. The surrounding beaches are more than inviting and visitors to this Spanish resort town are spoilt for choice with beaches such as the sheltered Playa la Clavellina just near the harbour, or Playa del Medano which joins to Playa de Viejo. Playa del Pozo is also located just outside of Corralejo and is popular with nudists.
Resort Rating
Among the activities to keep holidaymakers busy in Corralejo are a variety of watersports, tennis, glass-bottom boat trips, ferry trips to Lanzarote, jeep safaris, island tours, mountain biking and motorcycle tours. The Baku Waterpark and Golf complex is centrally located.
While in Corralejo, recommended eateries for holidaymakers are El Bribon, The Point Restaurant, El Pescador or the Taverna Los Piratas Bar Tapas. The waterfront promenade boasts numerous restaurants and cafes, most in converted historic houses. Corralejo's restaurants offer a wide choice, from good old English fish and chips to Mexican tacos or Indian curry. There is even a smattering of eateries serving up Canarian cuisine and fresh seafood.
Most of the bars and restaurants in Corralejo are on the main street, Calle General Franco. There is a variety of bars and clubs, with everything from sports bars and karaoke to dance clubs and live music. The high street and town square have a number of quieter restaurants and lounges. The clubs close around 1am, and the bars stay open later. Grab a copy of the free Fuerteventura Grapevine magazine for event listings and a nightlife guide.
The main street, Calle General Franco, is flanked with shops selling everything from radios to surfboards, and suntan oil to luxury watches. There is a good craft market on Saturdays at the Caleta de Fuste.
Corralejo can be quite expensive and travellers on a budget should take this into account before booking a holiday. Families should be aware that the beach area around Playa de Pozo is popular with nudists.

The Minx Xi from Cambridge Audio lets you access and enjoy music regardless of your source. This Bluetooth audio streaming device plays music stored on a smart phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device. In addition to "Standard Bluetooth CODEC (SBC), Minx Xi also supports the much higher quality Bluetooth system, aptX, which sounds even better and squeezes the absolute maximum digital detail out of Bluetooth audio streaming." You can also stream music from any UPnP server, NAS drive, or computer on your home network. Inputs on the back allow you to connect the Minx Xi to set-top boxes or other sources that don't have Bluetooth, and you can also tune in internet radio stations, and streaming services like BBC iPlayer Radio, Pandora and Rhapsody. Cambridge says the Minx Xi contains "a high-quality 24-bit/96kHz Wolfson WM8728 DAC that means all sources are delivered in sparkling detail; an oversized toroidal power supply for improved audio quality performance across a wide volume range; Class AB amplifier for great sound, low distortion and superb power efficiency; and external clocking taken from our award winning NP30 network player to minimise jitter in digital audio streams. The result is that Minx Xi sounds as good as it looks." It's available for $899.00. It will be on display next week in Denver at CEDIA September 25th-28th in booth 3306. Check the Cambridge Audio site for retailers.

Police in San Antonio are searching for motorcyclist who posted Facebook video of himself dangerously weaving through rush-hour traffic with a taunting "catch me if you can" as the video caption, according to video KENS.
The man identified as Alberto Rodriguez, who already had three warrants out for his arrest, was going as fast as 135 mph as he passed zoomed past vehicles.
Police are asking for the public's help to find Rodriguez and urge anyone who is helping him hide to turn him in, KENS said.

I see the big next step in audio performance coming from tailoring advanced DSP software for specific headphones and sources, and it's already here.
For example there is a company here in Sweden called Dirac who corrects some of the flaws in impulse and frequency response of the EarBuds and EarPods as well as compensating for the DAC and head out of the iPhone and iPad and the result is pretty damn impressive. It takes a pretty powerful processor to do this so it hasn't been a possibility with portable sources till the recently.
I'm confident this will be the big next thing with lower and mid priced headphones as these benefit more from the corrections. Not sure the SR-009 can benefit that much from impulse or frequency correction but you will be able to customize the sound much better than with DACs and amps. Like going from 95% to 99% of personally optimal sound compared to going from 20% to 70% with lower sets.
I can also see future software creating a perfectly natural binaural experience out of average stereo recordings.
I'm experimenting myself with different DSPs combining crossfeeds and soundstage and imaging enhancers, and they do a pretty decent job but are always in some way degrading the sound or not being fully realistic. It's still worth it with as some recording really go from in your head to fully out of your head, but there is big room for improvement for sure.
I've been using the Dirac app since it came out and use it 100% of the time when earpods are connected :)

Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Cycling Team has announced the selection that will participate in Trofeo Mallorca, from Sunday, Feb. 3rd until Wednesday, February 6th. Trofeo Mallorca — not considered a multiple day stage race, which allows riders to not participate on certain days of the races — was a successful one for OPQS in 2012. OPQS has been training in Mallorca in preparation for similar results.
"We have been here since the 24th," Sports Director Tom Steels said. "We will do a few good training rides before the race in the next days. We already did reconnaissance for one of the stages. In the next days we will do other stage parcour training. Mallorca is the first race in Europe, and the riders really want to race. Now it is time to ride. Last year we came here with Andy Fenn and he won two stages. This year we don't have a sprinter, so we will have a good chance in the 3rd and 4th stages, the up and down days, with Meersman, Martin, Golas, and other riders who have the possibility to do well. We will try our best to get a good result for the team."

Personalised Spoof Greeting Cards
There is a new trend amongst personalised birthday cards that is gaining popularity – the spoof card. A spoof card differs from a traditional greeting card in that it features a familiar image that has been slightly altered, taken from a source such as a magazine or film.
A typical example might be "Flirty Dancing" or "Vague". These products offer customers the chance to show that they have put some thought and effort into the process of buying their loved ones a card, and they also offer humour based around something with which a friend or family member is already familiar.
With such a wide range available to select from, the chances are that buyers will be able to find a spoof card based on a film, or something similar, which a friend or family member really loves.
Spoof cards offer more than a traditional run-of-the-mill greeting card and they are ideal for those people in your life who have a great sense of humour.

Center Cited by Fox News
Volunteers embrace civil society in Detroit
People embracing civil society is helping Detroit receive services where the city government has failed, according to Fox News, including volunteers who mow grass in city parks, a charter bus company and a civilian organization that helps board up abandoned buildings.
Ted O'Neil, media relations manager, told Fox News that is an example of civil society, which the Center has defined as "a network of private institutions, community associations, schools and religious organizations, families, friends and co-workers, and all their voluntary, from-the-heart interactions." Without civil society stepping in where political society has failed, O'Neil added. "failing cities like Detroit would be in even more trouble."

Elected Dallas leaders responded with concern and frustration to HUD's findings that officials promote discrimination against minorities and the disabled through affordable-housing practices that violate federal civil rights laws.
But the reaction from the city officials who run day-to-day City Hall operations took on a notably different tone. City spokesman Frank Librio issued this written statement Monday evening signalling the city will be challenging the HUD findings:
The City complies with HUD guidelines and regulations in its work with affordable housing projects. It is important to note that HUD has given final approval of all projects assisted by federal housing funds, either on the local level and/or from the Washington D.C. office. Any proposed projects assisted by federal housing funds must be approved by HUD before they may be implemented.
Now the Fort Worth Office of HUD has issued a letter where it contends that the City has violated HUD guidelines and regulations. City staff believes that the letter leaves out key facts presented by the City, did not fully evaluate arguments made by city staff, and reaches unfounded legal conclusions. City staff looks forward to working with HUD to resolve this matter in the best interests of the public.
As for the 1600 Pacific project referenced in the HUD letter, Curtis Lockey and Craig MacKenzie were the former developers. They sued the City in federal district court when they did not receive their requested large subsidy for their proposed project. Their case was dismissed and Mr. Lockey and MacKenzie have appealed the ruling of the district court. Since that case is currently in litigation, it would not be appropriate for the City to comment further at this time.

Promoting Open Family Communication
PPNC believes that the family is the ideal place for children and teens to discuss sexuality. Indeed, most young people say that they want to learn about sex, family planning and other tough issues from their parents. Unfortunately, some adults just don't know what to say and may feel uncomfortable bringing up these topics with children and teens.
This prevents families from talking openly and honestly about sex and sexuality - conversations that can help children make safe, healthy and responsible decisions about their sexual health both now and throughout the rest of their lives.
Talking About Life With Kids
TALK (Talking About Life with Kids) was developed by parents for parents to promote family communication. Through a series of workshops, parents learn everything from basic anatomy to how to share their values about sex and promote good decision-making.
Workshops are available in a stand-alone session or in a series of four to six sessions. These programs can be held in your home, at your child's school, at a PTA meeting or other community-based venue, and can be facilitated in English and Spanish. We also provide parents with take-home kits containing background information, tips and additional resources on sex, sexuality and other topics that are sometimes difficult for parents and caregivers to talk about with their kids.
Opening the Door/Abriendo Puertas
When it comes to talking to kids about the birds and the bees, Spanish-speaking and immigrant parents are often confronted with unique challenges. In particular, cultural beliefs, norms and gender stereotypes can all hinder open communication and healthy sexual practices.
To address these needs,we have created a parent-to-parent program called Opening the Door/Abriendo Puertas. The workshop is designed to provide the basic sexual health education that many adults did not receive during their own youth, help dispel cultural myths about sex and sexuality, and assist parents in identifying and communicating their values to their children. And because the program is facilitated by peers, the information is received in a much more powerful way, encouraging a frank discussion about culturally taboo issues and leveraging the power of role modeling to encourage more open family communication.
Helpful Hints
- Answer questions as they arise
- Clarify your child's question by asking questions back and keep answers simple
- Recognize feelings of discomfort
- Clarify and communicate your values
- Be a good listener
- Use reliable resources
- If you don't know an answer, say so and find out together
- Take advantage of "teachable moments"
- Be an "askable parent"

Wondervoice is a hands-free assistant that picks up where she left off and adds some common hands-free needs, like finding parking while you're driving, playing music via YouTube or Spotify, reading (or updating) Facebook, and more.AdvertisementWondervoice has been around for a while, but they've recently updated to include hands-free parking as a feature, which is specifically useful if you're driving around downtown and have no clue where the closest garage or parking lot is. The app will even tell you how much it'll cost to park where you're headed, if that information is available. Beyond that, Wondervoice is largely a Facebook client, and can read your news feed, Facebook messages, and other notifications to you aloud. If you have Facebook connected to it, the app can also play music on Spotify or YouTube shared by your friends.Granted, if you just want to fire up Spotify or YouTube or another app while you're on the go, you don't need Wondervoice to do it for you, but if your life revolves around Facebook and you want the parking features, you can't go wrong. If parking is all you need, previously mentioned ParkBud is also an option, and our guide to finding parking when you need it can help you out too.

Modi dares PM to fight against him in Gujarat polls
He also said Sonia Gandhi should apologise on the issue of rising inflation.
Ahmedabad: Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who completed 11 years in office on Sunday, dared Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday to fight against him in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
The BJP strongman, who made it a point at election rallies to say that he has completed 11 years as chief minister of the state, challenged the prime minister to compete with him in executing developmental projects.
"I dare Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to come and have competition with me. You build roads, I also build roads, you build canal and I also do the same, you build hospitals and I build hospitals too. Let the people see it... whoever has done a better job, people will accept him," he said adding "...but they don't want to have a competition for development with me. They only want to do sloganeering," Modi said addressing several poll rallies in this district. Modi also said that Gujarat could not be taken "for a ride" anymore.
"I warn Congress, I warn Delhi 'sultanate' that those days are gone when you would take Gujarat for a ride," he said.
Modi also said UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi should apologise on the issue of rising inflation. "Did it (Congress before 2009 general elections) not promise to check inflation in 100 days if it came to power? Did the prices go down after they (UPA II) came to power? When Soniaji came to Rajkot, she did not speak anything about inflation. Is this not cheating?" Modi said referring to Gandhi's recent visit to the state. "Soniaji should apologise for cheating the people of the country on the issue of price rise," he added.
Ridiculing Sonia's statement that there was no development in Gujarat and that whatever development the state saw was due to the Congress, Modi said,"... She has no knowledge of history and that is the reason she is making such statements on development of Gujarat."
"Of all the chief ministers that the country has seen in the last 60 years, I have suffered maximum injustice at the hands of the Centre," he added.

Take Action to Help Save Whale Sharks
Posted On July 10, 2015 by George Leonard
September 4, 2015 update: Thank you to the more than 73,000 people who took action to protect whale sharks. We are currently in direct conversations with the cruise ship industry and we hope to share updates with you soon. Watch this space!
The largest fish in the ocean is one of the most majestic, too: the whale shark. These gentle giants are also in danger.
Right now, there's a very simple way to protect them, and you can help. Off the coast of Mexico, thousands of whale sharks gather to feed and mate every year. Unfortunately, there are two cruise ship companies whose cruises currently travel through this important area where whale sharks congregate in large numbers and swim slowly at the surface of the water.
The beauty of this area is bringing more and more visitors each year, and unfortunately, they are having some negative effects on the whale sharks. There is an easy step to be taken in protecting whale sharks in this region, and we hope you'll take just a moment to let Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruises know how important it is to you that they adjust their course by 7 miles to protect these magnificent animals.

East Palo Alto (abbreviated E.P.A.) is a city in San Mateo County, California, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population of East Palo Alto was 28,155. It is situated on the San Francisco Peninsula, roughly halfway between the cities of San Francisco and San Jose. To the north and east is the San Francisco Bay, to the west is the city of Menlo Park, and to the south the city of Palo Alto. Despite being called "East" Palo Alto, this is a misnomer, as the city is precisely due north of Palo Alto. While often incorrectly assumed to be part of the city of Palo Alto,[4][5] East Palo Alto has always been a separate entity since its founding as an unincorporated community. It is also in San Mateo County, while Palo Alto is in Santa Clara County. The two cities are separated only by San Francisquito Creek and, largely, the Bayshore Freeway (the vast majority of East Palo Alto is northeast of the freeway, while all of the residential part of Palo Alto is southwest of the freeway). The revitalization projects in 2000, and high income high-tech professionals moving into new developments, including employees from Google and Facebook, have begun to eliminate the cultural and economic differences between the two cities.[6] East Palo Alto and Palo Alto share both telephone area codes and postal ZIP codes.
About half of East Palo Alto's residents were African Americans in 1990, which was the result of redlining practices and racial deed restrictions in Palo Alto.[7] Latinos now constitute about 65% of the total population, while the proportion of African Americans has decreased to about 15%[dubious ]. A small minority of Pacific Islanders also reside in East Palo Alto, most of Tongan, Samoan and Indo-Fijian origin.[citation needed]. East Palo Alto has the largest concentration of Pacific Islanders of any American city or town outside of Hawaii[citation needed].
In the past, East Palo Alto experienced profound crime and poverty, especially during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, it had the highest homicide rate in the country with 24,322 people, and 42 murders, equaling a rate of 172.7 homicides per 100,000 residents.[8] Since then the city's crime problems have subsided, and the murder rate in particular has declined to a typical urban level. In 2006, East Palo Alto experienced a comparatively low six murders, seven in 2007, and only five in 2008.
The prosperity that benefited the Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s largely bypassed East Palo Alto. The Ravenswood City School District, which serves East Palo Alto and part of adjoining Menlo Park, has struggled with low academic performance.[citation needed] Eventually, however, the Peninsula's shortage of land and soaring property prices meant that even East Palo Alto became an option for urban regeneration. Until recently, gentrification has been rare in East Palo Alto.
East Palo Alto also includes a small piece of land across the Bayshore Freeway (US 101) from the shopping center, a roughly triangular area between US 101 and San Francisquito Creek, which includes a former two-block-long retail business district known as Whiskey Gulch. The name dates back to the time that Stanford University, in Palo Alto to the west, was dry and prohibited alcohol sales within a radius of one mile (1.6 km) from the campus; Whiskey Gulch was just outside the limits, and was home to a number of liquor stores and bars. The city has torn down Whiskey Gulch and replaced it with the University Circle office complex.[9] A 200-room Four Seasons hotel opened in University Circle in 2006.
Over 25% of East Palo Alto (400+ acres) has been bulldozed and replaced with brand new housing and brand-name retail establishments over the last 10–15 years,[10] including IKEA, Sports Authority, Home Depot, Nordstrom Rack, Togo's, Starbucks, Office Depot, Mi Pueblo Food Center, PGA Tour Superstore, 6 to 9 Dental, Jamba Juice and Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels, attracting an entirely new demographic.[11] The University Square community has become particularly appealing to young high-tech professionals and high-income couples, including many employees from Google, Facebook, Sun Microsystems, and various other software and startup companies.[12]
The Ohlone tribe of Native Americans inhabited this area at least by 1500 to 1000 BCE. One tumulus was discovered in 1951 during development of the University Village subdivision near today's Costaño School. After a year-long excavation of 60 graves and 3,000 artifacts, researchers concluded Native Americans had utilized the area as a cemetery and camp, rather than as a permanent settlement. In later years another mound was found near Willow Road and the railroad right-of-way.[13]
From the 1850s through the 1940s, East Palo Alto went through many changes. In 1849, Isaiah Woods attempted to make East Palo Alto a major shipping town and named the city Ravenswood. In 1868, after Woods' investments failed he sold the wharf to Lester Cooley, who built a brick factory. When the brick factory closed down, it reverted to a farming community.
With the outbreak of World War I, the north side of East Palo Alto became a military training ground, of which only the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Menlo Park still exists. In the 1940s, East Palo Alto was a farming community with many Japanese residents. During the war, the Japanese were forced out, many to relocation centers, and did not return after the war. In the 1950s the farms were built over with cheap housing and many African-American families moved in. During the civil rights movement of the 1960s there was a renewed interest in African history, one expression of which was a fad for Swahili. The city was almost renamed Nairobi, center of the Swahili-speaking area in 1968 to reflect the population's African roots.[14][15] Critics of the change pointed out that Nairobi was the capital of Kenya, in East Africa, and had little to do with the cultural roots of most black Americans. In the end, the change was not made.
Significant development, called 'gentrification' by critics, occurred in East Palo Alto from around 2000, with the construction of a large shopping center named Ravenswood 101—including a Home Depot, a Best Buy, and an IKEA store—and several upscale housing communities intended for high-earning Silicon Valley workers. This development faced opposition from some residents, who charged that it priced locals out of one of the region's only affordable communities while providing only low-paying retail jobs and consuming disproportionate land area (2.2 square miles). Supporters pointed to an increased tax base.
In 2008, after twenty years without a supermarket, East Palo Alto individuals and organizations established the East Palo Alto Community Farmers' Market.[16] In November 2009, the Mi Pueblo Food Center grocery store opened in the Ravenswood 101 shopping center in the location of the former Circuit City store. Mi Pueblo was the city's first full-service supermarket in 23 years.[17] Mi Pueblo operates more than a dozen markets in California, including one located in Mountain View. Although there are several other smaller local grocery stores in East Palo Alto, the establishment of Mi Pueblo Food Center in East Palo Alto marked a milestone in history for the city, as residents no longer had to drive to other cities to buy their groceries from a full-service supermarket.
Starting in 2006, a large real estate investor, Page Mill Properties, purchased almost the entire west side of East Palo Alto and contested most of the city's rent control laws in what some claimed was a 'predatory equity scheme'.[18] Page Mill left East Palo Alto in the fall of 2009 after defaulting on a $240-million bank loan.[19]
East Palo Alto has always had a rich history. While there is plentiful shopping and business outside East Palo Alto, there was relatively little in the city. Most of EPA was unincorporated county land, so it was not eligible for many of the revenue benefits of city status. Until 1983, East Palo Alto existed as an unincorporated "island" in San Mateo County, dependent on county government for services and on the San Mateo County Sheriff for police protection. After several years of pro-incorporation campaigning by local community groups, a 1982 ballot measure that was stopped by a lawsuit, and a subsequent election the next year, East Palo Alto became a city in June 1983, with Barbara A. Mouton as its first Mayor. (Because of subsequent legal challenges to the last ballot measure, it wasn't until 1987 that the city was officially recognized as such.) The legal challenges were led by former U.S. Congress member Pete McCloskey, who represented one of the real-estate brokers whose original blockbusting campaign had turned EPA into a mostly-black town.[citation needed] The final tally was 1,777 for and 1,764 against, a margin of 13 votes; a majority of 50.2%.[20]
East Palo Alto is located in San Mateo County, its geographical coordinates are 37°28′1″N 122°8′23″W / 37.46694°N 122.13972°W (37.467038, −122.139699).[21] Despite its name, East Palo Alto lies almost entirely north, and not east, of Palo Alto. (This may be explained by how directions on the Peninsula are traditionally defined by having Caltrain as north-south. Caltrain runs northwest-southeast in Palo Alto, so "east" would mean northeast. In addition, downtown Palo Alto is in the northwest corner of the city, so East Palo Alto is indeed northeast of downtown Palo Alto.)
It is bordered on the west by Menlo Park, to the south by Palo Alto, and to the east by the San Francisco Bay. The San Francisquito Creek defines its southern edge. To the north are Ravenswood Point and the western end of the Dumbarton Bridge in Menlo Park.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.6 square miles (6.7 km2), of which 2.5 square miles (6.5 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) of it (4.11%) is water.

Primary and secondary schools[edit]
The Ravenswood City School District has its headquarters in East Palo Alto.[27]
District K-8 schools include Costaño Elementary School,[28] Belle Haven Community School,[29] and James Flood Magnet School.[30] 5–8 schools include Cesar Chávez Academy and Ronald McNair Academy.[31][32] San Francisco 49ers Academy, a 6–8 district school, is in East Palo Alto.[33] K-5 schools in East Palo Alto include Brentwood Academy (a district charter) and Green Oaks Academy.[34][35] Ravenswood Child Development Center is in East Palo Alto.[36]
Between 1958 and 1976 East Palo Alto had its own high school, Ravenswood High School.[citation needed] Ravenswood High was demolished in 1995 to make room for the Gateway 101 Shopping Center. Currently, the Sequoia Union High School District operates the zoned high schools in the area. Following the closure of Ravenswood High School, East Palo Alto's high school students were bused out of the city to other schools in the region, most notably Carlmont High School in Belmont. Some have even called for re-opening Ravenswood High School in a new location in East Palo Alto.[37][38]
In 2014, the Sequoia union High School District discontinued the practice of busing. Today, East Palo Alto residents are zoned to Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton.[39] Yet, through the Open Enrollment process of the Sequoia Union High School District, some residents will select to attend Carlmont High School, Woodside High School in Woodside, or Sequoia High School located in Redwood City. Additionally, each year, approximately 300 residents elect to attend East Palo Alto Academy, a charter school dependent on the Sequoia Union High School district but located within the city limits of East Palo Alto.[40] When East Palo Alto Academy opened in 2001, it became the first public high school to be located in East Palo Alto since the comprehensive Ravenswood High School was closed in 1976.
Alternatively, East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy is a high school charter school which opened in 2006. "Despite our success, we know that there is much more we can do. Ensure that our students not only make it to college, but thrive there and complete at least a bachelor's degree."[41]
Every year, parents of incoming minority children in kindergarten through grade 2 can enter a lottery (if there are more requests than the 166 slots available) to send them to neighboring school districts under the Tinsley Voluntary Transfer Program.

The local area around the Dumbarton Bridge is an important ecological area, hosting many species of birds, fish and mammals. The endangered species California clapper rail is known to be present in the western bridge terminus area.
The bridge is not a significant source of noise affecting East Palo Alto; however, it does cause significant traffic backups at rush hour and the city is also affected by noise from events at the nearby Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View.
The Baylands Nature Preserve[43] borders the city of East Palo Alto. The long trail along the marshland connects Mountain View, Palo Alto, and East Palo and it is used by bike commuters everyday.

Fashion jewelry has always been an important for women, who are known to wear custom jewelry for a long time now. We can trace back the source of the jewelry to the developed, who developed the ability to cut glass and imitate precious gemstones. The reasons for wearing still remain the same today and it is worn to enhance looks and appear stylish. Only the styles and designs have changed over the time. Still, we find a growing craze for vintage inspired jewelry among women and the style is enjoying a revival these days. You can find those vintage looks making a great comeback in ornaments.
The art deco jewelry has been around since the 1920s. Women have worn ornamentation made out of semi-precious materials since ancient times. The jewelry is a fine example of workmanship and the quality and materials used to create those pieces are at par with the real jewelry. We find a sea change in how the ornaments are created and worn. Before, women wore jewelry only on special occasions and to flaunt the wealth of their husbands. Thus, jewelry was a way of showing the status in the society by the rich. It was also worn to symbolize a religious affiliation, a period of mourning, or the state of romance.
In the 20th century, the fashion designers began to experiment with jewelry, expressing their creativity in the art deco jewelry. They used different material and metals, non-precious and semi-precious stones, made the pieces bigger and bolder, to go with the demands, and the way fashions were emerging. The pieces could be outrageously trendy, and as they were made of inexpensive materials, it was easy to replace the fashion jewelry, once the look went out of fashion.
The vintage inspired Victorian pieces tend to be chunky and large. The antique fine collectible is a popular hobby with some, who love collecting pieces from different eras and generations. Depending on the era, we find a variety in the design and materials. In the Georgian period, the jewelry was created by hand, and we find a huge demand for pendants and brooches, carrying portraits of loved ones during this time. Fashion jewelry at the beginning of the Victorian period saw it becoming much more affordable and mass market emerging for the art deco jewelry. Pieces carrying sentimental motifs became immensely popular. The Edwardian period saw delicate and elegant custom jewelry, with artificial diamonds and pearls set in semi-precious metals getting in vogue. Glass and semi-precious stones were used, and enamel was introduced in the mid-1910s.
Gradually, we find geometric lines, sharp angles, and bright colors emerging in the vintage inspired jewelry pieces. Some of those ornaments carried significant personal meaning. The costume jewelry may be less expensive, but it never looks cheap, if made in good quality. The designs can be especially eye-catching and creative and eye-catching. Those designs and creations are meant for men and women who love jewelry in its all forms and wear it to express themselves.
Practical applications of fashion jewelry are well known in love, mourning, religious devotion, etc. It is a way of looking good and showing love for beautiful things. Some of the most famous designers of vintage inspired custom jewelry are Elsa Schiaparelli, Coco Chanel and Miriam Haskell, whose bright and attractive creations are often made for celebrities. The finely detailed work is a true tribute to nature's beauty, and the art deco jewelry are made of materials like faux pearls, beads, corals, Bakelite, etc.
The jewelry continues to be very much in vogue today and continues to inspire the next generation of designers. Those oversized and sparkly pieces are often seen worn by the famous models on the ram or the celebrities at special shows. Stars such as Julia Roberts, Britney Spears, Madonna, are well known for their love of vintage inspired jewelry and wear their collections in public. Those epics are not just meant for the rich and the famous. Just about anybody can buy those amazing ornaments and appreciate their beauty.
You may not be making much of an investment in your fashion jewelry, and it is still essential to take good care of those pieces. Avoid making them come in contact with soaps, oils, perfumes, or any harsh chemicals. It is essential to remove the jewelry before sports, exercising, swimming, showering, etc. Store them carefully in a dry box and clean them with a soft cloth and jewelry cleaner. Remember to read the label of the cleaning solution and make sure that it doesn't contain any vinegar, ammonia, or any other acids, as these chemicals might harm the finish of the costume jewelry. Plus, those stones or materials used to make the jewelry might also get damaged sure to the harsh chemicals. One can also make use of good old soap and water, just make sure that the soap is not too harsh.
It is the uniqueness, superb craftsmanship, as well as, the aesthetic value which make those ornaments popular collectible items. One can make them a good investment and keep them with proper care. Some of the serious collectors will be more than willing to pay top price for vintage costume jewelry that is in mint condition. More than the value, it is the joy of owning and wearing a thing of timeless beauty from a bygone era that is simply beyond compare!

The momentum in other cities, according to the New York Times, is in the direction that Detroit has taken-zoning "adult uses" so that they are kept away from each other and spread all over the city, rather than clustered together as in Boston. This approach avoids the so-called "skid row" effect, but many argue it would be impractical in a city as small and residential as Boston.
John Sloan, pointing out that his own City Hall office sits in the middle of what used to be Scollay Square, reminds us that tearing own buildings doesn't solve social problems. And he complains that now there is no policy at all with regard to adult entertainment.
Officially, the BRA is now "rethinking" the issue. New BRA director Robert Walsh, not saddled with this predecessor's commitment to the present zoning plan, says it has proved detrimental to retail values downtown, and that the stepped-up action by regulatory agencies "has really caused the Zone to become dormant."
On the other hand, he says that the Zone is, or has been, a boon for tourism-"It's almost part of the Freedom Trail for conventioneers" – and that to a large extent the "containment" envisioned by the zoning amendment has succeeded.
We're considering some alternatives," Walsh said. "Possibly to compress it or shrink it in its present location, or to design better facades to make it more subtle. And we're looking at various concepts being tied in other cities throughout the country."
One just hopes the BRA is not looking for leadership from any of those cities which, two-and-a-half years ago, were looking to show Boston the way.

Eat to Live diet by Joel Fuhrman

So happy to see this thread! Hello fellow nutritarians!
I bought Dr. Fuhrman's book in 2004 when I was about 165 pounds at 5'6" -- i was eating mostly junk food, doing the whole "starve myself for three days, then eat anything i want" thing which was most certainly NOT working for me, and i was lethargic and miserable. At the time I was eating tons of meat and cheese, loads of caffeine, and TONS of sugar.
It took a long time but I slowly, slowly started to incorporate the principles in the book. First I started with just incorporating greens at every meal, followed by getting rid of meat in my diet (it just sort of happened naturally, I suddenly didn't want it anymore), then getting rid of caffeine and aspartame. My next big project is sugar -- I am slowly starting to lose my desire for it.
I still don't follow the plan to the letter -- I do eat minimal dairy (maybe 2-3 servings a week) and eggs (maybe once every week or two), and don't limit my whole grain consumption as the book suggests, so I am definitely not perfect with it. But from about 2004-2007 I very slowly lost 25 pounds, and have managed to keep it off since then (I have fluctuated from 136-144 or so during that time). I've gone up to over 140 again due to my ridiculous sugar consumption of the past few years, but I am determined to phase that out too, and have slowly lost about 3 pounds so far this month in the process!
Deb and Valentine, I totally understand how you might be feeling overwhelemed -- I was too! My advice is to slowly remove things from the diet (or add, as in the case of greens) one by one, so it is a gradual lifestyle change -- take all the time you need! <3
CPP, I just started reading your smoothies thread, very cool! I am blender-less at present (my house burned down over the summer, argh!), but am looking to pick up a new one soon!
Anyhoo, just wanted to say hi!
Height: 5'6.75"
Goal 1: under 140 (want to see those 130s again!
Goal 2: 138.4 (my former "maintaining" weight)
Goal 3: 137.8 (exactly halfway in the healthy BMI indiex for my height)
Weight as of...
11/12/12: 144.6
No more caffeine or aspartame, yay! <3
No refined sugar (with a few minor slip-ups here and there ;D) since ... 11/11/12 D:

Bentley wants massive crowd
Last Updated: 01/09/11 5:37pm
Bentley: Urges fans
Sky Bet
Football Betting
Morecambe manager Jim Bentley is urging fans to turn out in force when Bradford visit the Globe Arena on Saturday.
The Shrimps lie second in League Two after recording four successive wins which have encouraged hopes of a serious push for promotion.
Yet Bentley says the fans must play their part too after admitting he has been disappointed with the attendances of his side's two home games so far.
He said: "We have had two home games now and it's fair to say we have been disappointed with the crowds to date.
"We all know Bradford will bring a big following on Saturday and it is always a game that has a great atmosphere and I hope our supporters get down in big numbers to watch us.
"The lads have certainly done everything that has been asked of them so far and deserve the support."

The goal of this post is to be used as a way for you to provide suggestions for introductory driver-related topics that you would like more information about. I would like to hear any suggestions that an new driver developer might have and I'll try to gather information and provide a useful analysis. So, feel free to write a comment and suggest any interesting relative topic that you might think about. Please keep in mind, though, that my main area of focus is UMDF 🙂
I think it will be very useful to have information about filter drivers. There are many kind of filters (FS,Storage,Bus) and their implementation details aren't documented well.
Maybe a guide to using the KMDF nonpnp driver and application to replace many or some legacy drivers. The auto-install of both the driver and the KMDF environment is a good thing. It also implements wpp so how to use that feature would be a good subject to approach. I find it useful to add some test code that is called from DriverEntry and code running in a user context from the IO or IoCtl paths. The user mode code doesn't even have to be changed until or unless it needs to supply information to the driver.
I believe that some better information relating to the development of 1394 drivers would be nice. The information on this technology is scarce, and the DDK documentation is incredibly weak. I read some great articles By Bill McKenzie on this topic at the WD-3 site, but apart from these I've had to claw my own way through this. Thanks,
A post about "Porting Miniport Drivers to NDIS 6.0" mentioning some books to read for beginners to understand NDIS would be helpful.
Thanks a lot for what You are doing!Information, that I managed to find here
is extremely useful and essential for me!With the best regards!
As display driver model of vista is completely different from its predecessor, so if can post any thing which is useful to write display driver based on wddm model. And thanks for this blog, as it is very informative especially for newbie.

» Music Review: Ron Artest's My World - SLAM Online Awesome review of RonRon's new album from SLAM magazine. Link courtesy of TrueHoop. I think this should be the official PF.com theme music.
This must be amateur hour... Some constants about rappers: - they compare their neighbourhood to a warzone - they think of themselves as poets - they're always coming (not going) somewhere - they've got nothing to say - they must tell everyone about it right now - they're very angry about the nothing they must tell everyone about right now Artest, you've made it!
I'd agree if you prefixed this with "unauthentic, stereotypical rappers". Otherwise, you are excluding many rappers that have matured the genre since the days of the Sugar Hill Gang. If you are really interested in finding rappers that don't fit the mode you describe I'd be more than happy to turn you on to some inspirational, thought provoking rap music. You just might be suprised.
I think this guy is so crazy that he thinks his name is kind of a foresight... like that it's his faith to make horrible music no one would listen to if he wasn't a good baller... and that's just because his name is "Artest". What would happen if he overthrows with his record label? I don't think NBA shirts are big enough for a player name like "the player formerly kown as Artest". But the record's would be kinda funny- "the Artist formerly known as Artest"- ok, maybe not funny, this joke's probably so old that it's growing a beard alread.
Ron needs to pony up some of that Sacramento cheddah for some real producers. Seriously, the right producers can make mediocre talent seem great and I know there are some peeps in California that can do better than that. No matter what you think of Ron's brilliant lyrics and rapping style, the production is total amature time. C'mon TruWarier, you gotta spend some lootcakes to make some lootcakes!
yeah i know, i was just thinking of guys like artest who stink up the genre. i used to be right into guys like wu-tang, dre, eminem, etc and the low of course!
Actually those would be examples of what you described. I was thinking more among the likes of: Common, Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, De La Soul, Pharoah Monch, Jurassic 5...
Rolling down Rodeo with Ron Artest (borrowed from RATM) ESPN.com: Page 2 : Road trippin' with Tru Wariers
So, the Miami Heat are looking at making a move for Ron. Wade, Artest, Shaq, [STRIKE]Kopono[/STRIKE]....
I blew through this thread so fast, I can truly say you didn't waste any of my time. I hate that some of our youth actually find happiness with some of this BS. I wish they didn't have to go through that.

I look like a tube, But all over me there are holes. Without these holes I could not sing, Which is one of my few roles. I have a head, a body, and tail, Yet I can easily be twisted apart.
