Unrealized Gain
Definition of 'Unrealized Gain'A profit that exists on paper, resulting from any type of investment. An unrealized gain is a profitable position that has yet to be cashed in, such as a winning stock position that remains open. A gain becomes realized once the position is closed for a profit. An unrealized loss, on the other hand, occurs when an investor is holding onto a losing investment, such as a stock that has dropped in value since the position was opened. A loss becomes realized once the position is closed for a loss. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses are often called "paper" profits or losses, since the actual gain or loss is not determined until the position is closed. |
Investopedia explains 'Unrealized Gain'A position with an unrealized gain may eventually turn into a position with an unrealized loss, as the market fluctuates and vice versa. An unrealized gain occurs when the current price of a security is higher than the price that the investor paid for the security. Many investors calculate the current value of their investment portfolios based on unrealized values. In general, capital gains are taxed only when they become realized. |

The staff at 2B Groomed |
The spread includes a piece on straight razors, a rogues gallery of famous mustaches (Billy Dee, Sam Elliott, Daniel Plainview), the history of the dopp kit, a defense of the man-spa and a piece on the barbershop revival: "In these economically addled times ⦠with men looking for ways to cut back, hot towels, straight-razor shaves and classic cuts (with a complimentary Guinness or scotch) are increasingly in demand."
The barbershop piece runs with a list of Playboy's top-10 barbershops in America, and checking in at No. 5 is Philly's own 2B Groomed Studios (270 S. 11th Street, 215-925-3505, 2bgroomed.com, appointments encouraged), run by the super-dapper Jahmal Rhaney (above), who stopped by this morning to drop off a copy of his tonsorial star turn.
A couple years back, Trey Popp chronicled his straight-edge conversion in CP's pages:
The straight-edge specialists I used to frequent in India didn't sport twirling poles either, but considering what they charged for their services, such adornment was a cost better avoided. The going price for a smooth face ten years ago ranged from two American dimes to a quarter. After getting past high-strung nerves and an overdeveloped fainting reflex my first time in the chair, I was hooked. Why hunt for imported disposable cartridges when a man with 30 or 40 years of experience would shave me for a song? I threw away my lathering gel.
Given the scraggly state of my now-traditional winter beard, I may follow suit and pop down to 2B Groomed for one of their spruce ups and beard trims. Stay tuned.
Design 6 |
Design 6, the design company that did the clean, brick-walled and wooden-floored Arcadia Boutique (pictured above), is offering a service that I find particularly hilarious. And perfect:
Design 6 is now offering a service to couples moving in together for the first time. Co-habitation can lead to zillions of fights about who has the better furniture and what artwork should be hung in the living room. For a flat fee, a designer can act as an objective third party to help combine the best of the best (no hard feelings), and help couples make a smooth transition into their first home together.
Is this what gender equality has brought us? Guys who care about which bedsheets to use as much as their girlfriends do? (Of course, this service is probably getting tons of business from gays and lesbians, too, but I sense the breeders are also lovin' it.) Yes, yes I think it has. And I totally dig that. So long as I get to decide what color the walls are. Just kidding.
I'm seriously crushing on these Free People folk over at the Navy Yard they've got a killer blog (which you wouldn't expect to be that cool), and it turns out they're good citizens, too. A bunch of them volunteer at Big Brothers Big Sisters, and last week they put on a newspaper fashion show with the kiddies. Guess whose paper they used? Um ours! Check out the cute pictures of the little fashionistas below:
Does anyone actually prefer shopping in the real, live world to shopping online? OK, I do sometimes when it's in stores like Topstitch Boutique or Art in the Age, which have beautiful décor and cute, fun people manning the register. But, for the most part, waiting in line, trying on clothes and sifting through item after item is terribly boring. Which is why eBay, in all its quickness and easiness, is so great.
The only bad thing about most online shops is that they're not Philly-based, and for those of us who both value the importance of supporting the local economy and are too proud to buy much of anything outside the city, this poses a problem. Thankfully, Made in Philly (madein-philly.com) solves this lazy man's conundrum. Here's their schtick:
Made in Philly's mission is to provide a venue for the sale of locally designed and produced products. The success of our mission depends on more then just "selling products." Made in Philly believes we must support the local designer-maker community. We will provide feedback from designers and customers and serve as a venue for product publicity. And most important, connect designers directly with customers.
It's launching on May 22, but they're still looking for products. In the meantime, we can dream up what local businesses will be hawking their goods there Di Bruno Brothers?! Conspiracy Showroom, in a back-from-the-dead move??! Philly Flavors, in a how-the-hell-would-they-sell-ice-cream-online move?!! Out of curiosity, who are you hoping for?

News for Patients from the Journal of Clinical Oncology
Below are summaries of research advances in clinical oncology. The information presented in Cancer Advances is the same information the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) provides to cancer physicians, in consumer terms.
July 5, 2005
Two new studies show that patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have mutations in the gene, or who have a greater number of copies of this gene in their cancer cells, may respond better to the drug gefitinib (Iressa) than those without these genetic traits.
April 11, 2005
Chemotherapy drugs used to treat breast cancer can cause infertility by reducing the number of ovarian follicles (cavities in the ovaries that contain eggs). As a result, increasing numbers of women with breast cancer are seeking technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF) to preserve their fertility before undergoing chemotherapy.
Cancer Advances: Referrals to Palliative Care Often Come Too Late, Survey of Family Members SuggestsFebruary 22, 2005
A new study suggests that referrals to palliative care often come too late to improve quality of life for patients with cancer. Palliative care treats the physical, spiritual, psychological, and social needs of a person with cancer, both during cancer treatment and at the end of life.
January 31, 2005
A new study shows that women who are overweight prior to breast cancer diagnosis, or who are lean but gain weight following diagnosis, are more likely to have their disease return or to die of the disease. The study will be published in the (JCO).
January 18, 2005
A new study shows that African-Americans patients with esophageal cancer are less likely than white patients to be seen by a surgeon and to receive life-prolonging surgery. The study, which examined racial differences in access to surgery among older patients with esophageal cancer, found that only 25% of African-American patients received potentially curative surgery, compared to 46% of white patients. The study will be published January 20 in the .
November 30, 2004
A study appearing in the (JCO) has found that a promising, highly targeted cancer drug called imatinib (Gleevec)âpreviously proven effective in treating several types of cancerâmay also be effective in treating AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS).
November 15, 2004
A new study in the (JCO) has found that cancer patients over the age of 65 are significantly under-represented in cancer clinical trials. Researchers reported that other health conditions and their treatment, as well as concerns about health care costs, lack of social or home care support, and difficulty accessing hospitals or cancer clinics, may limit elderly participation in clinical trials.
November 1, 2004
A new study in the (JCO) has found for the first time that transplantation of circulating blood that contains immature blood cells from sibling donors may be more harmful than transplantation of bone marrow in children with leukemia. It is estimated that nearly 30% of transplants from sibling donors in pediatric patients now use peripheral blood stem cells.
October 12, 2004
A new study published in the examined young breast cancer patients' attitudes about fertility. The majority of women surveyed were very concerned about their ability to have a child, as well as the effect that pregnancy might have on their disease returning.
September 29, 2004
This study underscores the importance of quitting smoking to reduce the risk of a variety of cancers, including head and neck cancer.
September 27, 2004
Group therapy can be an important tool for helping breast cancer patients manage their disease and improve their health-related quality of life. However, in patients with early stage breast cancer, these benefits do not translate into living longer.
September 13, 2004
CT scans and ultrasonography have traditionally been used to monitor cancer growth and a patient's response to treatment. However, unlike other solid tumors, ovarian cancer spreads diffusely through the abdomen, making the tumors more difficult to detect through traditional imaging techniques such as CT scans and ultrasonography.
August 9, 2004
A new study shows that following established guidelines when giving drug therapy after surgery to women with early stage breast cancer helps women to live longer and reduces the risk of the cancer returning.
June 1, 2004
"Platinum-based" chemotherapy treatment, including drugs like carboplatin (Paraplatin), has been the standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, fewer than 30% of NSCLC patients respond to platinum-based chemotherapy, compared to more than 70% of patients with other types of cancer, such as ovarian cancer.
April 12, 2004
A new study has shown that extended lymph node dissectionâa treatment for stomach cancer that involves the surgical removal of lymph nodes near the tumor, in distant areas of the stomach, and in some cases, in combination with the removal of the spleen and part of the pancreasâhas shown no long-term survival benefit for stomach cancer patients.
April 6, 2004
A new study shows that newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who test positive for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations after receiving genetic counseling are more likely to choose to have both breasts removed (double mastectomy) to help reduce the risk of cancer in the opposite breast.
February 23, 2004
Two new studies published in the (JCO) from the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania have important implications for women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations have been shown to place women at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers.
December 23, 2003
Obesity is known to increase the risk of breast, colorectal, and endometrial cancer. Now, two new studies suggest that obesity can also increase the risk of aggressive prostate cancer, particularly for black men.
December 10, 2003
For the last decade, high-dose interferon, a common treatment for melanoma, has been considered the standard therapy for high-risk melanoma patients who, despite having undergone surgery, still have a significant risk of their disease returning. However, there has been considerable debate over the available treatment options for melanoma patients.
October 28, 2003
Hepatocellular carcinoma, also known as hepatoma, or cancer of the liver, is a common cancer worldwide, with nearly one million new diagnoses reported each year. Often, patients with hepatoma have underlying cirrhosis, a risk factor for hepatoma. Most patients with advanced disease cannot be operated on because of the location, size or severity of the tumor(s) in the liver. As a result, liver transplants are a possible treatment for patients with advanced disease.

From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Obey declines meeting with Marine's mother
Last week's flap catapulted Obey, the Democratic chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, onto YouTube.com and into the news.
The video shows him decrying the "idiot liberals" who do not understand his legislation, which would have U.S. troops out of Iraq by August 2008.
The Wausau lawmaker issued a written apology Friday saying he was sorry he yelled at the woman, Tina Richards, 44, of Salem, Mo., and her companions.
In Obey's absence Monday, two of his top aides met with Richards and the videographer and peace activists accompanying her. The session was in his office at the Rayburn Building.
Richards was not placated. "The Democratic leadership (of Congress) has the power to end this war, and they're not doing it," she later told a dozen members of the news media gathered.
Richards said she came from the "Show Me State" where "people apologize face-to-face."
She said her son, 23, served two tours in Iraq, was discharged but could be called up again under the Individual Ready Reserve program.
The war left him with physical and emotional injuries, she said, and the Veterans Affairs Department has not given him proper care.

The Dew Tour returns to Ocean City, Md., this weekend for a second year, and even if you aren't there to see the action sports event in person, you will still be able to have quite a unique view.
The Dew Tour's footprint is so big this year, it literally looks like a city on the beach. They've added a fourth stadium this year, bringing more than 600 tons of steel in 125 tractor trailer trucks and for the second straight year, the have poured a massive concrete skate bowl on the beach — a feat that's never been replicated anywhere else in action sports.
But, what spectators may not notice this year, is a small camera in the sky zooming along more than a mile of cable high above the stadiums, bringing unprecedented aerial views of BMX and skateboarding tricks to a nationally-televised live audience.
"It's not been done in action sports in this way, so you are going to see these sports in a way that's different than you ever have and feel the overall scope of the event, which is massive," says Dew Tour General Manager Chris Prybrylo.
Last year, Ocean City broke the Dew Tour's attendance record with more than 75,000 people coming in over the course of the weekend. But this year, with all the events being free to the public, that record is expected to be smashed to pieces.

The undisputed champion of malware removal methods? NOT just your fav...
Samstag, 26. November 2011 01:13I've been in SysAdmin for 11 years. I've seen tools come & go. I've used HJT, SBS&D, MB, Adaware, manually removing registry keys, etc. All the same things every other professional has tried. What I ask is, what is the absolute fastest method of removal? Level of required technical prowess not considered...just what is the fastest? Trojans, bots, keyloggers, toolbars, etc. If I were the worlds fastest malware remover, what method would I use?Seriously..."MalwareBytes, then SUPERwhatever" is NOT the answer I'm looking for here. I have used them and they are good...but that's not what I'm asking.

Insert the OS CD in and reinstall the OS. Make sure you format the drive as well. You did not specify that any data was to be saved. Or if you have an image, you could reimage the PC as well.
I was also going to say smash the hard drive, but that would not 'remove' the virus.
Let's look at this a different way, if you use VMWare player or a product like Deep Freeze, you can prevent those issues from hosing up your computer to begind with. If you were to contract something, the next step would be to 'reset' the OS. This would be made feasible by off disk storage for important files so nothing is stored locally.
--- Side note, this post should be move to a different forum as this is not Exchange related.

For information on the author Ruth Reichl click here.
Bestselling author Ruth Reichl examines her mother's life in this little gem, and gives voice to the universal unarticulated truth that we are grateful not to be our mothers.
In Not Becoming My Mother, bestselling author Ruth Reichl embarks on a clear-eyed, openhearted investigation of her mother's life, piecing together the journey of a woman she comes to realize she never really knew. Looking to her mother's letters and diaries, Reichl confronts the painful transition her mother made from a hopeful young woman to an increasingly unhappy older one and realizes the tremendous sacrifices she made to make sure her daughter's life would not be as disappointing as her own.
Growing up in Cleveland, Miriam Brudno dreamed of becoming a doctor, like her father. But when she announced this, her parents said, "You're no beauty, and it's too bad you're such an intellectual. But if you become a doctor, no man will ever marry you." Instead, at twenty, Miriam opened a bookstore, a profession everyone agreed was suitably ladylike. She corresponded with authors all over the world, including philosophers such as Bertrand Russell, political figures such as Max Eastman, and novelists such as Christopher Marlowe. It was the happiest time of her life.
Nearly thirty when she finally married, she fulfilled expectations, settled down, left her bookstore behind, and started a family. But conformity came at a tremendous cost. With labor-saving devices to aid in household chores, there was simply not enough to do to fill the days. Miriam--and most of her friends--were smart, educated women who were often bored, miserable, and silently rebellious.
On what would have been Miriam's one hundredth birthday Reichl opens up her mother's diaries for the first time and encounters a whole new woman. This is a person she had never known. In this intimate study Reichl comes to understand the lessons of rebellion, independence, and self-acceptance that her mother--though unable to guide herself--succeeded in teaching her daughter.

Have questions about eBooks? Check out our eBook FAQs. Product DescriptionIn this powerful new work, Pastor MacArthur bypasses a superficial understanding of the Christian faith in order to explore the difficult side of Christian discipleship. As MacArthur reminds us, Jesus does not desire for his disciples to stop at simple belief, but he longs for them to follow in His steps by becoming completely obedient to God. Do not ignore this opportunity to sit under this loving, yet uncompromising teaching which calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Christ (Mk. 8:34).
Product Information
Publisher's DescriptionPopular perception of Jesus Christ is that of a tempered, genteel man who walked the earth, offering nuggets of wisdom to His followers. But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires. In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus' life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.

Group Ride: Cinco de Mayo
The Dana Point Grand Prix,, part of USA Cycling's National Criterium Calendar, is one of the premier criteriums in the country. This weekend, in honor of the race, Rapha has teamed up with Oakley to check out the roads and hills surrounding one of the coolest outdoor companies we know.
The day will start with espresso shots courtesy of Hennie, our Mobile Cycle Club, and Peets coffee. Then we'll head out into the hills, before returning for beers and Mexican food from El Ranchito to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. If you haven't yet had a chance to meet Hennie in person, this would be a great place to start. Please note that this is a fun ride and is open to all. No one will get dropped, no one wins. The name of the game is sunshine and smiles.
Route will be through Rancho Santa Margarita, over Live Oak, north through Santiago Canyon, then heading west on Jamboree to Portola to Irvine Blvd and Bake Pkwy back to Oakley.
Saturday, May 5th. Meet 9:30am, rolling at 10am
Oakley, 1 Icon, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610
This is not a race. It is an unsupported ride on open roads and although the pace is likely to get brisk in some sections, please remember this is a ride for fun. There are no prizes at the end (not even bragging rights).

12 Super Awkward Politician Photos
Well, it's finally almost here; the election. And while you take the weekend to replay all the debate coverage to decide who the best candidate to run our country is, rehashing all the tough topics—as well as some of the funnier moments—we're just going to trust our instincts on this one.
See, we like to base things off the eye test. So instead of hearing who can solve the financial debt crisis and unemployment rate, we'll be voting for the guy who seems to have the best people skills.
There's just one problem with that—if we base our decision of these pics, we'll never be able to choose who's best?!?

Do not jump
to conclusions too quickly! That is the message in the Brainteaser, visualized
by Nicole Kienhuis and Simon Koolwijk. Patience
can be a valuable attitude in decision making.
Watch the Brainteaser:

Facilitation skills as a key requirement for evaluators
Is monitoring and evaluation a hype? Or is a
sustainable change taking place in international development, that embeds M
& E processes in the structures of organizations, governments and projects? According to Michael Quinn
Patton, lecturer in the E-learning course "Emerging practices in development evaluations"
offered by MyMandE, the demand for M & E has increased
dramatically during the last couple of years in international development. Due to the increasing demand from citizens,
civil society and donor organizations for more accountability and transparency,
governments and development organizations are investing more and more in M
& E systems, staff training in M & E, mid-term reviews, learning
networks and evaluations. Knowledge exchange and an increasing need for 'lesson
learning' under development professionals accelerates this demand.
M & E processes
become ownership driven
The client
is increasingly becoming the starting point of evaluations. M & E processes become more client- and
less donor driven. The role of donors is changing from the demanding,
controlling and directive investor into
the supportive and guiding partner.
Evidence which is showing this development towards ownership driven
evaluations are:
- Learning questions, stakeholders and evaluation tools are formulated by the client with support of the evaluator;
- Project management and staff are fully involved in the evaluation design, data collection, analysis and the process of formulation of conclusions and recommendations;
- (Mid-term) Evaluations become a tool of lesson learning;
- Project indicators are aligned with National indicators;
- Governments and local development organizations increasingly invest in capacity development of their staff and structures facilitating monitoring & evaluation practices;
- Electronic discussions groups, such as Yammer, Linkedin and Facebook are used as tools supporting knowledge exchange processes between development professionals.
Watch the
video: Introduction to Evaluation:
A changing role of the
development show that indeed a sustainable change is taking place. M &E is
becoming a necessity and essential activity in organizational development and
project interventions supporting organizational performance and lesson
learning. This transformation that is
taking place in the profession of M & E, is putting new demands and
requirements on the evaluator. For
enabling the delivery of quality evaluations, the evaluator requires:
- Good communication and facilitation skills;
- Knowledge and experience in using and applying social media and internet tools;
- Experience in applying wide diversity of evaluation tools. Knows how to collect and analyse statistical data complemented by video or visual methods;
- Didactical skills in explaining concepts and practices about M & E;
- Leadership skills to facilitate mid-term reviews or evaluations involving local staff and beneficiaries;
- Expertise to encourage exchange about 'benchmarks' or 'best practices' in the domain the evaluator is doing his evaluation.
becomes ownership driven. The project implementing organisation is the driver
in its own M & E process. The evaluator is moving from an expert to an
expert having facilitating and communication skills as a key requirement.

Characteristics of a powerful video story – Nine examples
If you developing a video story, there a number of key
questions you have to ask yourself before you start filming:
- What is the story about?
- Why are you filming this story? What is the purpose you want to accomplish?
- Who will be the target audience? And what is the essence you want to communicate to them? And how are you planning to disseminate this video?
- What is the context? What is the background of the story? When did it take place? From whom's perspective is the story told?
- Where is the videomaking taking place? What is the setting and the environment where you are filming? What videoshots do you want to make?
- Who are the actors in the video?
- What is the language and the subtitlng?
- What is the estimated time span of the video?
- When? Where? And How are you going to do the filming?
- What will be the structure and logic of the story? What are a number of principles you apply in the video you are producing?
- What kind of music will be supporting the story? Are you planning to use a voice over for telling your story?
All the aforementioned questions will help you or your
videomaking team to develop the story board.
However, the filming and the video editing phase are following crucial
steps in making an attractive video.
There are five characteristics
that help to build a powerful story.
The video is:
- Engaging from the beginning to the end
- Having elements of surprise
- Finalizing with a clue at the end
- Contains humor
- Simple, short and visually attractive.
Following is a compilation of powerful stories, which are
having some of these characteristics.
Engaging from the beginning to the end
1. Crisis in the Congo (26
This video describes in an involving way
the causes and the effects of the crisis in Eastern Congo. This documentary composed of interviews with a number of key experts
explaining the history and the current situation describing the civil war and
the role of the international community and international businesses in this
conflict. The video story is well built up supported by visuals and engaging from
the beginning to the end. See video; Crisis
in the Congo…..
2. The story of milk (3 min)
In this story the visual images help to
support the story teller. Throughout the video a feeling is created about
something magical and mystical. Dreaming and imagination drive the story and
keep me as a watcher involved. See video; The story of milk.
B. Surprise
3. Photocopier
(1 min.)
This advertisement has a nice surprise at
the end. Machines also has a life and their tastes. See video Photocopier.
4. A squirrel playing soccer(1 min)
What makes a squirrel to play soccer? The
video shows something that you would not expect an animal would do. See video; A squirrel
playing soccer
Clue is at the end
5. The Bridge with Paul E. Hendricks (13 min.)
An actual life story on how the interviewed
person develops in his relationship with his partner. The clue about his life learning is at the
end. See video; The
Bridge with Paul E. Hendricks.
6. Nolan 's Cheddar
(1 min.)
On a funny and humoristic way, the video
shows what cheese can do with a mouse. The music supports the video on a
powerful way. See video; Nolan's Cheddar
7. A Pepsi please! (1 min)
This is a
girl who wants the real Pepsi.
She communicates and uses the language in the setting she is ordering
her cola. See video; A Pepsi please!
Simple,short and visually attractive
8. Nobody tells who are beginners (2 min)
This video has the principles of KISS. Keep It Short and Simple. The video explains that creativity and
success does not come by itself. It needs determination and persistance. See video; Nobody
tells who are beginners
9. Hans Rosling's 200 countries, 200 years in 4
minutes (4 min.)
In 4 minutes a powerful lecture is given on
how the status has been developing in 200 countries around the world. Again the
story is simple, short and visually powerful in its communication. See video; Hans Rosling's 200 countries, 200 years in 4

The only thing easier than letting New Years resolutions slip out of your grasp is thinking of excuses as to why you did so.
But here's one that might actually make sense – perhaps you've just been using the wrong stationery?
Introducing Mi Goals, a slick new range of products dedicated to help you spruce up your life as well as your workstation. With a team that counts participating in FebFast among their hobbies, they've got more on the brain than just high GSM paper.
Consider the Mi Goals 3-in-1 diary, which triples as a daily organiser, goal keeper and motivational speaker, with inspiring quotes stamped throughout (if you thought your personal trainer was tough, don't even think about making excuses with Darwin).
Or if you just want to document the people and places that spur you towards success, jot them down in the Inspire Book.
Keeping sight of your goals is far easier when they're literally right in front of you.

Voting, file photo, used under creative commons
So it's that day, right? Election Day. And you're registered to vote, and you're planning to vote, right?
Only you're not exactly sure where your polling place is - cause it's been two years, or you moved or you've never voted before or ... whatever.
Oakland Local urges everyone reading this post to get out there and cast your vote if you're able. And if you're as sometimes absent-minded and brain dead as I can be, or you need some resources to help you go to the right spot to vote the first time, before you say "chuck it" - or whatever you'd actually say - we've got some nifty online tools for you that will help you find your polling place semi-instantly.
This one will make you laugh
Where's my fu--ing polling place isn't kidding around, it will find where you need to go with out making any jokes about it. (So, why are you laughing?) Not your parents' poll-finder tool.
This one will make you smile
Google, of course, has the ultimate easy online voting polling place locator tool. Just got to google.com/elections/ed/us/vote and type in your address and poof! Your polling place comes right up, with the option of directions and more.
This one will make you sleepy, but it works like a charm
Smartvoter and The League of Women Voters should get sainthood in our parthenon; and this is yet another reason why - an efficient database that pulls the polling places, the bills and the candidates all together in an easy-to load page. As beautiful as any web design from 1996, which makes it very 2013.
So, now you have no excuses, right? And you're voting?
Oakland Local will be monitoring local races and coverage, so check back for reflections, analysis and more. We're going to leave the election night coverage to others with bigger teams and more traditional aspirations, but we will all be watching - just like you.

get the boat from the magic kingdom? or take the monorail?
When the magic kingdom closes and everyone rushes out, is it usually faster to get the boat across to the grand floridian or the monorail?
Re: get the boat from the magic kingdom? or take the monorail?
Well, that's a difficult one
The boat holds more people but is slower, the line for the monorail is normally a long one, but they seem to come one after the other at closing.
If I had to choose though, it would be the monorail I must admit I tend to use the one to the resorts if the line is shorter.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Re: get the boat from the magic kingdom? or take the monorail?
It's an on the spot decision. How long are the monorail lines? Is the boat there and looks full? If it's a beautiful night, grab your spouse's hand and go for a walk to the resort. It's a nice way to reflect on your day and enjoy that special person's smile.

(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced Santa Rosa-based Environet Consulting and others will pay almost $400,000 to resolve allegations that they bilked the state's Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund out of roughly $200,000, under a lawsuit settlement approved by the Sacramento County Superior Court.
"The Legislature established this Fund to protect public health and safety, and to pay for cleanup costs when insurance coverage is not available," Lockyer said. "Citizens and taxpayers can ill afford a ripoff of this vital program, especially as the state suffers unprecedented fiscal woes."
Lockyer brought the action against Environet and other defendants under the California False Claims Act. The Act prohibits fraudulent claims against the state and can subject violators to treble damages and civil penalties. The case marked the first brought under the Act in connection with fraudulent claims on the Fund. The defendants include: Environet; Linda Mackey, the company's principal; Gary Johnson, Environet's chief geologist; and William Staley and Mary Scott, former owners of a Ukiah car dealership.
The suit alleged the defendants defrauded the Fund by claiming reimbursement for cleanup costs caused by a leaking underground waste oil tank when, in fact, the damage was caused by a septic tank system improperly used to dispose of hazardous waste materials. The Fund cannot be tapped to provide reimbursement for cleanup work associated with septic tank systems.
Under the settlement, the defendants will pay $391,282 – twice the amount they wrongfully obtained from the Fund, which is administered by the State Water Resources Control Board. Additionally, the settlement prohibits Mackey and Johnson from making false or misleading statements to state agencies regarding environmental cleanup projects.
The lawsuit originally was brought by a "whistle blower" plaintiff, Lee Howard. Howard, a contractor who worked at the property, filed the lawsuit on behalf of the state after the property owners sued him for failing to obtain reimbursement from the Fund, among other allegations. Under a provision of the False Claims Act designed to reward whistle blowers who help the state recover fraudulently-obtained funds, Howard will receive 22 percent of the settlement proceeds, or $86,082. The state will receive $305,200.
