Italy v New Zealand, November 17
History weighted in All Blacks' favour
ESPN Staff
November 12, 2012
The scoreboard at the McAlpine Stadium tells a sorry story following the woefully one-sided clash between New Zealand and Italy at the 1999 Rugby World Cup © Getty Images
New Zealand and Italy renew hostilities this weekend with the All Blacks strong favourites to extend their winning run against the Azzurri.
The tourists have won all of the 11 previous encounters between the two countries from the 70-6 thumping in Auckland in 1987 to the more competitive 20-6 success in Milan in 2009.
Italy's heaviest defeat came at the 1999 Rugby World Cup with the All Blacks running in 14 tries on their way to a 101-3 victory. The closest Saturday's hosts have come to upsetting the formbook was at the 1991 Rugby World Cup where they were eventually beaten 31-21 although a clash against a New Zealand XV did provide a closer result - an 18-12 for the Kiwis.
The most recent meeting between the sides was staged at the San Siro in Milan - the usual home to Serie A football sides AC Milan and Inter Milan. Their latest meeting will take place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome - the usual home to two more football sides, Lazio and Roma.

This expense is INSANE. WE need more police, repaired sidewalks, and the traffic mess on Embarcadero at Paly-Town and Country fixed NOW. We need the budget under control. Prior councils who helped get us into this mess are now represented on the present one....Klein and Kniss. And we've got to be GREEN at escalating expense!! Green = civic indigestion. Council...LEARN TO SAY "NO".

This is the main pedestrian and bicycle route from southern Palo Alto to the shoreline area, for both nature lovers and people trying to get to their jobs on the other side of the highway. The current path is so fragile that it has been closed since 2011! The marked detour route is 2 miles longer, making it impractical for many people, especially during the winter when rush hour in in the dark.
Please get this new bridge done as soon as possible. I don't care what it looks like. Fast and cheap is fine. The view from the bridge is mostly of a smelly noisy ugly freeway, so people are not going to linger up there.
a resident of Evergreen Park
on Feb 26, 2013 at 11:02 am
The current bridge doesn't allow for a cargo bike to get through. We only have one car and the other day I needed to take it to the city, so my husband was going to use our cargo bike (our 2nd car) to get the kids to gymnastics at Twisters in Mt. View. However, it wouldn't fit on the bridge and going over an overpass with freeway traffic is too dangerous. So I think this would be great! Maybe simplify the design to lower costs.
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland
on Feb 26, 2013 at 11:02 am
The bridge is a great idea, the contest is a great idea, but where is the other 6 million dollars coming from? A $10 million dollar project with a $4 million dollar grant still leaves Palo Alto taxpayers responsible for $6 million dollars. For a bridge, seriously?
The roads IN Palo Alto that are "bike friendly" are full of potholes, metal plates, etc. Kids and bike commuters in the City have a tough time commuting safely. How about we fix the Palo Alto roads BEFORE we build a bridge to Mountain View?
a resident of Barron Park
on Feb 26, 2013 at 11:14 am
Palo Alto Mom has 2 good points. Fix the present intra city bike lanes, and get the rest of the $6 million in hand before spending a dime on the bridge.
Where do people and the City Council think the additional money is coming from? Oh, yes. As always spend taxpayers money and then try to balance the budget. Our General Fund doesn't have extra money for projects not in the IBRC recommendations.

on Feb 26, 2013 at 11:14 am
Couldn't they just somehow create a biking/walking path on San Antonio for less money? You can walk over on Embarcadero and Rengstorff, why not do the same for San Antonio? Is this really how we should be spending money?
A design competition will only increase the cost with unnecessary elements. Who stops to take in a pedestrian bridge? Has anyone pulled over on 101 near Ralston to admire and enjoy the new pedestrian bridge?
a resident of Stanford
on Feb 26, 2013 at 11:16 am
ASAP--get thebridge done as soon as possible??? Not in Palo Alto. The article talks about end of 2017--you can add a few years to that due to the Palo Alto process.
Plus the ARB and members of the council have made it clear that this cannot just be a simple, cheap bridge--it has to be a shining gateway to Silicon valley and have a design competetion to choose the right one. It has to be aesthitically pleasing.
AS for the rest of the money--it does not matter, infrastructure will beignored for a few more years so that we can have this wonderful bridge. In fact it should be so wonderful, that drivers on 101 stop their cars to marvel at it.
That is the kind of bridge that Palo Alto wants--we do not want to be like the rest ofthe world

This is lunacy. We don't need any more bike lanes. We need to stop the runaway crime in Palo Alto. Spend money on more police to stop the virtually dailly armed robberies downtown and holdups of businesses.
Stop wasting taxpayer money on this. Another idea promoted by the Green lunatic fringe.

I like Jeff's idea. And make that add-on strip wheelchair-accessible too please! Wheelchair-riders--and seniors with scooters-- need an easy path to access the Baylands and trails too. To hide this one-more-chunk concrete+steel-fence item, how about thickly covering the sides with growing pampas grass in planter strips, and the exterior bottoms with barked tree-trunk sides? --Nick

No matter what - pull or change the blockades in the old bridge and perhaps had some survellance cameras or something, the isolation of that bridge and it's entry and exists are a little scary.
The bridge down the freeway ... I think it's in San Carlos is pretty nice, why not use that as a model and stop this dilly-dallying and actually get something done?
Just get it done, and get it done cheaply as possible with as low maintenance costs as possible, and then shut up about it. This is another joke to make the city seem like they are democratic or are open to input ... then they go and choose something that everyone will roundly despise anyway.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Feb 26, 2013 at 11:38 am
There is also no really good way to walk across existing overpasses, such as Embarcadero. It means that everyone that does that needs to twice pass by the on/offramps where cars are shooting by to merge and get into Palo Alto or onto the freeway. It's unnerving, and certainly not workable for children or handicapped.
a resident of Barron Park
on Feb 26, 2013 at 12:09 pm
This just makes me mad. I cannot rejoice in the news about this wonderful, artistic, spectacular bridge knowing that the rest of our town is suffering with crime, cut-backs on everything, higher rates on lights, water, gas, trash, just tax, tax, tax....I'm done with it. No more stupid spending!

Just add another $6. Million to the infrastructure bond measure in 2014. Except for the Police Building this bond measure will not have to disclose what infrastructure is covered by the additional money on the ballot. Just call it all "infrastructure" and you people will approve the bond measure!!!
This is not the only bridge being proposed a brand new bicycle/pedestrian bridge is being planned to cross Adobe Creek in Mitchell Park. The present bridge is not safe for wheel chairs and the disabled who may wish to visit the proposed Magical Bridge playground.
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland
on Feb 26, 2013 at 12:54 pm
More and more bridges - I believe the only contribution that the City is making to the Magical Bridge is dedicating the land at the Park. The non-profit is raising $3.8 million for the construction of the playground, bridge, etc. The City is apply for a grant to help them (I think).
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland
on Feb 26, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Another example of our city leaders and elected officials displaying a total lack of focus and sense of priority. This bridge represents a desired, but certainly not an essential need. Just a few months ago our city leaders were crying from the rooftops over the city's ongoing budget deficit. They described the circumstances as an unprecedented financial crisis. They declared we did not have the necessary public funds allocated to pay for vital and essential needs that exist in the areas of infrastructure and public safety. And what is their response? Why nothing less than continuing to spend millions on non-essential, niche, and feel good projects.
Perhaps the most insulting thing of all, is they actually have the gall to suggest another bond measure and tax increase to pay for our vital civic needs, after they blatantly and frivolously spend millions on bike bridges, public art, playgrounds, community center renovations, and commercial district make-overs. It's more than insulting, it's offensive.
We need our elected officials to do everything possible to balance the city budget. Certain city services should be outsourced. We need to stop or eliminate spending on non-essential city services and programs wherever possible. Our city leaders must set some sound financial priorities and stop catering to every special interest group. They can no longer continue to see every grant program as an invitation to spend more. These are the steps that need to be taken if we ever have any hope of balancing our city budget, providing adequate public safety to our citizens, and strengthening our infrastructure.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

Can't some of our high status residents or city officials make polite inquiries to see if any of our local corporate magnates would be willing to donate/build an artistic and functional bridge...and get their corporate name put on it (I see no reason why not) ...everyone going over it would see a plaque at each end with the corporate name and there would be a dedication ceremony and all...perhaps the bridge could even be seen as a notable "Silicon Valley feature." I see the pro and con sides of the bridge, but feel there might be a way to make it happen if our high level city officials network with key persons who like to live and work in this area of Silicon Valley.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

I like the idea of a bridge but I don't like the cost.
I think there should also be a competition to find ways to pay for cost of the bridge.
I think we should seek corporate sponsorship for a start. I think also we should look for whether or not this can be a toll bridge.
The bike community is large and there are many clubs. They are also becoming quite political. However, apart from the cost of the bike itself and accessories such as lights and helmets, the price of bicycling around town is free. It would be worth looking into seeing how adult bike riders could be able to contribute to the cost of this bridge.
There is no such thing as a free lunch and this bridge would be far from free. The funding of this bridge is a big question and should not be ignored.

Invite Arrillaga to pay for it. He seems to have "Money to Burn". He offered to pay for new
playing fields at the Baylands acc. to the Weekly.. (Golfers, golf staff all vetoed extravagant Plan "G" - but not our excessive spending Council".) Did Arrillage want something in return for his offer? Arrillaga has multiple Stanford buildings with his surname on them - but he doesn't have a bridge!! This bridge is something Palo Alto cannot afford right now. There are many things the City can't afford now- reminds me of my own life.But that doesn't stop this Council OR City Hall. ....known around town as "Silly Haul".

Just make it safe and useful to all and get the job done. Asking what everyone wants only delays the job getting done. How to make this decision simple... Just make it look like the other bridges to the north and south of this location. Job done.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Feb 26, 2013 at 3:18 pm
Arrillaga wanted concessions on his project at the MacArthur Park site and only then would he give the money for the playing fields at the golf course. City is not giving in and his money is being withdrawn, so no fields. He also wanted to buy a slice of Foothills Park that abuts his estate. Public caught wind of it and how it was secretly being dealt with, so now that seems to be off the table as well.
Arrillaga has done a lot for the community and Stanford. It'd be nice if he did it out of the kindess of his heart (as he seems to do with his Stanford donations) instead of the thickness of his wallet.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Feb 26, 2013 at 3:54 pm
Note - some/most of the money is coming from funds that *cannot* be used for police, roads, etc. It is money from an agreement with Stanford (someone can provide a link).
This does not mean that we do not need money for those other things (only that their discussion does not belong in this thread).
This does not mean that we need to spend $10 million on a 'gateway' bridge - the one down the road in Mt. View cost $3 million (but it *is* far simpler because it could be built in a straight line).
As to adding 'safe passage' across the San Antonio bridge I see several problems. One, safe access (for children especially) *TO* the bridge itself on both sides (too much traffic). Two, I wonder for how much longer that bridge will stand as-is before being replaced.
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Feb 26, 2013 at 3:57 pm
I like "corporate sponsor"'s idea. Google might like a huge multicolored "Entering GOOGLE Territory" sign on the southbound side of the bridge in return for sponsorship. Stanford, per the local paper, was just lauded for getting the most money in contributions EVER. Would they be willing to sponsor part of the construction in order to create something for the northbound side? We have students and people of all ages who have amazing ideas to offer who wouldn't charge hundreds of thousands of dollars. What someone else said about not limiting the field of applicants, making it open to those who live and work here seems so simple. Why does it need to be limited to one designer, for that matter? Take the many good/best cost-effective + creative ideas, allow the public to vote on them, and incorporate the winners to make the most amazing bridge ever. I am also ready to gag re "gateway" this and "gateway" that. Get over it. It's a BRIDGE. I needs to be safe, functional for years to come, and cost-effective. Which takes me to this; If city officials had to give up something, like half their salary for 3 years to put towards the project, would they be so eager to push it? And why do they get to make decisions w/o citizen okay? Don't they answer to us? Are there rules they're supposed to follow (with consequences if they don't) about spending tax dollars? I don't understand the process.

Before the city spends a penny of this or launches a design contest, they need to do a study looking how many people will actually use this bridge. Just because the biking coalition says we need a bridge does not mean we need one. And if we do need one, then it should be a simple, nexpensive one. No big discussions on color or shape or design, no blue ribbonanels or consultants.

"Just because the biking coalition says we need a bridge does not mean we need one"
I agree.
a resident of South of Midtown
on Feb 26, 2013 at 6:44 pm
The old Adobe Creek undercrossing that was only open in the summer and has now been closed for over a year was very heavily used, and I expect a new bike/ped bridge will also get a lot of use. I don't see what a design contest will bring in the way of benefits, though.
As far as improving the San Antonio overpass, that is not a viable option because it is owned by Caltrans. The City has no control over that, and Caltrans will not do anything.
The existing overpass at Oregon dates from the 1970s and is woefully inadequate and does not meet today's safety or accessibility standards. The narrow barricades can't simply be removed or modified because they are structurally significant. If it was easy to make that overpass accessible to wheelchairs, cargo bikes, trailers and tandems it would have happened many years ago.
A new bridge is important. Some people want it and some people NEED it (emphasis for Marrol). Nobody needs a work of art, though.

Our city leaders are out of touch with the wishes of the majority of its citizens. They cater to a vocal minority. Palo Alto's government leadership is fiscally irresponsible.
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland
on Feb 26, 2013 at 7:13 pm
And so Donald South of Midtown, what of the ongoing budget deficit? What of the projected 50-plus million dollar price tag on absolutely critical infrastructure needs? What of the vital public safety needs that remain unfunded? These should be the fiscal priorities. A bike bridge definitely takes a back seat, especially when the tax payer portion could involve several million dollars. It's time to cater to the greater good and not the vocal minorities and special interest groups.
a resident of South of Midtown
on Feb 26, 2013 at 7:31 pm
I agree with you that we have critical infrastructure and public safety needs, but cancelling this project is not going to help those because it is being paid for with funds that cannot be used for those purposes.
a resident of Community Center
on Feb 26, 2013 at 7:46 pm
Donald--will the entire cost Be covered by this money? Knowing palo alto and the comments of the ARB and previous comments by Holman they want something special and expensive-- something that we will end up funding.
a resident of South of Midtown
on Feb 26, 2013 at 7:55 pm
I don't know what the outcome will be, but Marrol's claim that it will use millions of dollars in general fund money is a made-up claim with no support. For the record, I support a functional and cost-effective design like that chosen by Sunnyvale for their 101 and 237 crossings.

Right on Donald,
Stick to the facts, not verdant imaginations.
And pick something functional and economical.
a resident of Embarcadero Oaks/Leland
on Feb 26, 2013 at 9:07 pm
Not true Donald, Palo Alto tax payers will most definitely be left on the hook for cost overruns beyond what's covered by the grant and Stanford contributions. We all know that Palo Alto is famous for never completing a project on time and within the allocated budget. The potential and exposure in this project for these elements are too great and too expensive. We can't afford it.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Feb 26, 2013 at 9:17 pm
I'll vote for functional and economical and easily maintainable. Was wondering when we'd vote for whom to name the bridge. But I wouldn't mind naming it by sponsorship as suggested above.
My only trepidation is that a bridge, even this limited, will lead to yet more development of the remaining bayside open space. ABAG is looking for thousands of new housing units, and this bridge would be the perfect set-up for a ludicrous claim that all new residents will ride bikes rather than drive cars.
@Donald, were the bike barricades on the old bridge near Oregon there at the original opening? Don't know how they could be structural. I vaguely recall riding freely (and without a helmet) across that bridge and also through the Cal Ave tunnel, but must have been half a century ago.

This is a total waste of money no one has. The feds, the state, the county, transit everyone is barrowing money they dont have and some of it will end up on this project. Our grand kids will pay for the Taj Mahal.
It would be cheaper to buy everyone who will use this bridge a new car or daily rides in a limo versus building what will be a 20 million dollar boondogle.

And the city council will be shocked when their precious infrastructure bond fails in 2014, after spending who knows how much in taxpayer $$ to promote it.
1. Stop spending on stupid pet projects.
2. Control the spiraling pension obligations, and if you're too afraid of the unions to do so, start outsourcing everything except police.
3. Stop using PA utilities as a cash cow for the city. It's bad government and borderline corrupt. Repeal the utility users tax.

What's the holdup with the existing Adobe Creek and 101 underpass? It has been closed for a long time -- it is way overdue that you open it again! Get to work on that, City of Palo Alto.
$10M sounds like a LOT for a pedestrian/bike bridge. It doesn't matter that $4M comes from somewhere else, we paid those taxes, too. Waste is waste, no matter where the money comes from.
The underpass works fine. Yes, it might flood once in a while but so what? Just out up a sign or come orange cones, for Pete's sake.

Thanks to the County of Santa Clara for spending $4,000,000 of county taxpayers money on yet another wishful project that only increases the current county government skyrocketing deficit to $216,000,000. Who cares that this project won't ever be paid in full long after those demanding the overpass have passed on of natural causes leaving only a bridge to access the Palo Alto Landfill Park. What a great legacy to leave our grandchildren who will be left to pay for this nonsense.

City Council member Liz Kniss wants this bridge as a monument to herself.

Wouldn't it cost less to fix and/or upgrade the existing underpass than to build a new bridge? Just asking.
In other words, if we chose to fix the existing underpass - would we be able to use just the grant money and not city money?

I agree with above poster. Either use the plan for the new San Carlos bike bridge or the new one in Mt View (from Crittendon Middle School, under Old Middlefield, and over 101). Either of those should work. They could even use the plan for the new one over 85 (but I think too fancy) Why spend extra $ to design a fancy one?

>>The bridge down the freeway ... I think it's in San Carlos is pretty nice,
>> why not use that as a model and stop this dilly-dallying and actually
>> get something done?
I agree with this comment by Anon. The bike path near Ralston Rd. on 101 is rather nice. Just use that design and move on. Maybe someone can submit a design based on it.

This is a terrific example of how our money is being wasted. There are so many projects that need to be done. Budgets that need to be balanced. And somehow the city council knows that they can continue wasting money on frivolous projects that benefit few but saddle the majority with debt that needs to be repaid. Since all that most of us will us will ever do is to complain on this board, we definitely deserve the extra tax that is coming to pay for this, and other such stupid wastes of money.

I wonder if the public will be asked to vote on the finalists. Doing that sounds like a good idea - until you recall how the outcome of the vote on the California Avenue fountain was ignored.
And a question: does the Bicycle Coalition contribute $ to projects such as this or is their role limited to promotion?

Nothing sniveling about a budget deficit that has been running for nearly a decade. Nothing sniveling about having to increase taxes in order to fund our essential and vital civic needs. If that be the case, then better to be sniveling than completely out of touch with reality.

I personally favor a cheap and sufficient solution. I've heard the Adobe Creek underpass has been closed indefinitely due to roadway construction. Can anybody confirm that? If it were possible to keep open most of the year, as has worked for many years in the past, why not restore it to that condition as soon as physically possible? I suppose there might be liability issues, which are often the undoing of efficiency. Anybody know anything about liability issues re: the underpass?
I have no involvement with the Bicycle Coalition, but I'm guessing their support for the bridge doesn't mean they actually want to spend a lot of money on it. My guess is that, just like pretty much all cyclists and pedestrians, they support some means of getting non-motor vehicles across the highway in a safe way, whatever the means. This particular method just happens to have come along, so they support it. Here's an old blog post from the SVBC that seems to accord with my opinion:
Web Link
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure most bicyclists feel the same way as most drivers: keeping things safe, efficient, and commensurate with a limited budget. To me, the underpass seems to meet these criteria, but, again, there may be a deeper story to that.

Palo Alto does not have a Bicycle Commission.
The Adobe Creek undercrossing has been closed for over a year because of the 101 construction. Prior to that it was open during the dry season, but it does not meet safety standards for width, height or slope and it is not handicap-accessible. You could not build that today, and you could not modify it without bringing it up to modern standards. That was investigated as part of the feasibility study, and making that a year-round crossing that meets mandatory safety and accessibility standards would cost more than building the overpass. Furthermore, many people felt that a dark tunnel would be less secure than an open bridge and they are not comfortable with an underpass (don't make me defend that, I am just repeating public comments).
a resident of Mountain View
on Feb 27, 2013 at 7:05 pm
@Richard, thanks very much for the information. This paper ought to quote your comment, or something like it, every time there is an article about this issue, as it would make unnecessary a lot of (very reasonable) debate in this forum. More generally, I think it would help if this paper (to the extent that it wants to facilitate community discussion) would have an FAQ page for every contentious issue it reports on. That way there would be some continuity in the discussion between articles, and we could avoid some of the understandable, but ultimately redundant and futile, outrage every time the issue is reported on.
For example, I think the underpass is fine and would like to see it restored to its former level of utility, but (based on @Richard's information) I can understand why the city government is not permitted to do so. So I guess I have to support a highway overpass, since there appears not to be an alternative, and I always support safe rights of way for non-motorists. Now my only concern in the future is that the overpass be built without unnecessary cost for aesthetic considerations, as it is, after all, crossing a highway. It can't be any uglier than a typical motorist overpass, right? And motorist overpasses aren't a big eyesore relative to any other part of road systems.
As for funding, it looks like Stanford is paying for some part of this one. But why was there not a requirement for part of the funding for the 101 construction to go toward maintaining a preexisting non-motorist right of way? I feel like there is in general a state requirement for right-of-way mitigation of that sort. Was the project let off the hook because the existing right of way isn't considered up to standard? More questions that could be answered on an FAQ and thereby provide a foundation for constructive and non-redundant future debate.

@"100% bicycle commuter": great idea to have PA online issue an FAQ on repeatedly referenced controversial topics.
@Richard, Thanks for your comments. I confirm that the Palo Alto Bicycle Advisory Committee pursued more affordable options, but they were not feasible. See some of the ideas pursued and their issues at my first posting in the article "Palo Alto makes bid for bike-bridge funds" at Web Link. On the feeling secure question, often women feel more secure where they can be seen and they can see into, like an overcrossing, than a hidden undercrossing where they can't see who's lurking around the bend.
On the costs and budget balancing issues, there is a good chance that the city will get significant funding from the Bicycle Expenditure Program (BEP) portion of the Valley Transportation Plan (VTP) 2040, which is a periodically-updated 25-year countywide long-range transportation plan. (VTP 2040 is in the public review stage with upcoming community meetings, see: Web Link) This bridge is on the draft plan, and past iterations of BEP have funded similar projects. For instance the VTP 2035 plan had allocations of between $5M to $10M each for six bike/ped overcrossings (Web Link).
BEP funds are earmarked for bike projects, they can't be used for Palo Alto's significant infrastructure backlog needs, and if PA doesn't apply for them in our community, they will be allocated to other cities. There has been a historical imbalance, with Palo Alto, as a wealthy community, paying more than it receives. So tax hawks should be pleased that their tax dollars will come back to benefit their own community.
If any purely city funds are used for this project, keep in mind that the current undercrossing is not free, as the current maintenance to clear the mud after each flooding season is on the order of $0.1M, and it would be much more if we tried to keep the path open year round and repeatedly clear mud. So if the city has to pitch in $1M, 10 years of bridge life will more than pay for itself. I would expect the bridge to have a life closer to 50 years.
@"Not an Issue", who wrote, the city needs "to do a study looking how many people will actually use this bridge." They have already done that study, and found that the Adobe Creek location would generate the most usage. Search for early community and/or Council meetings on the topic to find that info.
It is not just the bicycle community that wants this, but also the people that live in the Adobe Meadow and surrounding neighborhoods Web Link, for whom this connection was a popular item in community meetings on local infrastructure needs.

Oh, I forgot to add that site constraints prohibit just taking an OverCrossing design from up or down the 101 and plopping it in. There's the creek, the bay, private properties, and high voltage power lines. All of those are why some of the designs have squiggly ramps, not for a fancy look but because straight simple doesn't fit.

Applaud the idea of corporate sponsorship; esp like the "Entering Google Territory" idea. I'd bike south just to use that bridge just to see that sign and show it to friends. Terrific idea!

Lest anyone get incensed about money set aside for bike/ped projects, I'll point out that the draft VTP 2040 plan (which is county-wide for 25 years) has on the order of $440M for bike/ped compared to $4,400M for car projects.

TED talks: Should you donate differently? – Joy Sun
Modern technology means that, rather than sending privileged Western aid workers to the impoverished corners of the world, we could simply put money directly into the hands of the needy. But should we?
Blue & Green Tomorrow is currently running a crowdfunder to ensure its survival. Please pledge.
In this week's featured TED Talk, GiveDirectly CEO and veteran aid worker Joy Sun talks about the moment she realized the flaws in modern charity.
"Honestly, I believed that I could do more good with money for the poor than the poor could do for themselves," she says.
"I held two assumptions: One, that poor people are poor in part because they're uneducated and don't make good choices; two is that we then need people like me to figure out what they need and get it to them. It turns out, the evidence says otherwise."
Studies have found that the poor can be trusted to use such direct, unconditional cash transfers to improve their own lives.
"Pregnant women in Uruguay buy better food and give birth to healthier babies. Sri Lankan men invest in their businesses," Joy Sun says.
And so, GiveDirectly was formed to allow donors to transfer money directly to those in need. It has so far given cash to 35,000 people across rural Kenya and Uganda, in one-off payments of $1,000 per family.
"I believe in aid. I believe most aid is better than just throwing money out of a plane. I am also absolutely certain that a lot of aid today isn't better than giving directly to the poor. I hope that one day, it will be."

How to be More eco-Responsible in 2018
Nowadays, more and more people are talking about being more eco-responsible. There is a constant growth of information regarding the importance of being aware of ecological issues and the methods of using eco-friendly necessities on daily basis.
Have you been considering becoming more eco-responsible after the New Year? If so, here are some useful tips that could help you make the difference in the following year:
1. Energy – produce it, save it
If you're building a house or planning to expand your living space, think before deciding on the final square footage. Maybe you don't really need that much space. Unnecessary square footage will force you to spend more building materials, but it will also result in having to use extra heating, air-conditioning, and electricity in it.
It's even better if you seek professional help to reduce energy consumption. An energy audit can provide you some great piece of advice on how to save on your energy bills.
While buying appliances such as a refrigerator or a dishwasher, make sure they have "Energy Star" label on, as it means they are energy-efficient.
Regarding the production of energy, you can power your home with renewable energy. The most common way is to install rooftop solar panels. They can be used for producing electricity, as well as heat for the house. If powering the whole home is a big step for you, try with solar oven then – they trap the sunlight in order to heat food! Solar air conditioning is another interesting thing to try out – instead of providing you with heat, it cools your house!
2. Don't be just another tourist
Think about the environment, as well your own enjoyment – try not to travel too far, as most forms of transport contribute to the climate change. Choose the most environmentally friendly means of transport that you can, as well as environmentally friendly accommodation. If you can go to a destination that is being recommended as an eco-travel destination – even better! Interesting countries such as Zambia, Vietnam or Nicaragua are among these destinations that are famous for its sustainability efforts.
3. Let your beauty be also eco-friendly
We all want to look beautiful. Unfortunately, sometimes (or very often) it comes with a price. Cruelty-free cosmetics are making its way on the world market but be careful with the labels – just because it says a product hasn't been tested on animals, it doesn't mean that some of the product's ingredients haven't been tested on some poor animal.
To be sure which companies definitely stay away from the cruel testing on animals, check PETA Bunny list of cosmetic companies just to make sure which ones are truly and completely cruelty-free.
It's also important if a brand uses toxic ingredients. Brands such as Tata Harper Skincare or Dr Bronner's use only organic ingredients and biodegradable packaging, as well as being cruelty-free. Of course, this list is longer, so you'll have to do some online research.
4. Know thy recycling
People often make mistakes while wanting to do something good for the environment. For example, plastic grocery bags, take-out containers, paper coffee cups and shredded paper cannot be recycled in your curb for many reasons, so don't throw them into recycling bins. The same applies to pizza boxes, household glass, ceramics, and pottery – whether they are contaminated by grease or difficult to recycle, they just can't go through the usual recycling process.
People usually forget to do is to rinse plastic and metal containers – they always have some residue, so be thorough. Also, bottle caps are allowed, too, so don't separate them from the bottles. However, yard waste isn't recyclable, so any yard waste or junk you are unsure of – just contact rubbish removal services instead of piling it up in public containers or in your own yard.
5. Fashion can be both eco-friendly and cool
Believe it or not, there are actually places where you can buy clothes that are eco-friendly, sustainable, as well as ethical. And they look cool, too! Companies like Everlane are very transparent about where their clothes are manufactured and how the price is set. PACT is another great company that uses non-GMO, organic cotton and non-toxic dyes for their clothing, while simultaneously using renewable energy factories. Soko is a company that uses natural and recycled materials in making their clothes and jewelry.
All in all
The truth is – being eco-responsible can be done in many ways. There are tons of small things we could change when it comes to our habits that would make a positive influence on the environment. The point is to start doing research on things that can be done by every person and it can start with the only thing that person has the control of – their own household.
Top 5 Changes You can Make in Your Life to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
In a world, where war rages and global warming threatens our very existence, the inhabitants of earth need to be extra vigilant in their efforts to go green. This includes reducing your carbon footprint on the earth and leading a more sustainable life.
Many homeowners feel perplexed by all of the options available to reduce their carbon footprint. They may even feel (falsely) that making their household more green will fail to make that much of a difference in the fight to save our planet.
Even a single home going green has a massive impact on the environment. We can win this battle on home at a time. If you're interested in accepting the challenge of making your household a green home, read on below for a few of the top changes you can make in your life to reduce your carbon footprint. We all stand to benefit from making the earth safer for future generations – and your wallet won't complain when you start to see the savings in annual energy costs.
Switch From Dirty Energy to Clean Solar
The ION Solar reviews tell it all–solar is the best way to go. Whether your goal is to slash your energy bills, or to reduce your carbon footprint, the sun is a fantastic source of renewable energy.
It's important to get past the hype from solar installers. Instead, listen to the plethora of impartial customer reviews that mention everything from a $20 energy bill, to the incredible feeling of knowing that you are doing your part by going green and minimizing harmful emissions in to our atmosphere.
The average investment is $15,000 to $30,000 for installation and purchase of solar panels. Optional battery power packs can help provide consistent power during both night and day. And many government agencies provide federal, state or local grants to help offset upfront investments in clean energy.
Depending on which installed you choose, your household may qualify for low-interest or zero interest loans to cover the up-front cost of your installation. And the loan payments are usually less than your current monthly power bill.
It really is a win-win, as home buyers are looking for homes that feature this technology – meaning solar power installation improves the resale value of your property.
Home Modifications
And there are a number of additional home modifications that can help improve the energy efficiency of your home. A programmable thermostat can better manage energy consumption from home cooling and heating systems while you're away from home. And weather stripping your doors can help keep cool air in during the summer, and warm air in during the winter.
Of course, energy conservation starts at home. And this includes setting a powerful example for your kids. Teach your children how to close windows, strategically keep doors open or closed based on airflow, and encourage them to leave the thermostat alone – opting for adding or removing layers of clothing instead.
Unplug Appliances and Shut Off Electronics
Unplugging your appliances when they aren't in use, such as the toaster and the coffee maker, has more of an impact than you might think. Set your TVs and stereos on sleep timers, instead of letting them run around the clock. The cumulative impact of wasteful electronic device usage is horrible for our environment – putting unnecessary strain on our electrical grid.
One of the simplest and easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint is by recycling. You are already throwing this stuff away anyway, right? It doesn't take much more effort to just put recyclables in a separate container to be recycled, now does it?
Oh, and did I mention that you can earn money for recycling? Yes! Many cities and towns have recycling centers that will purchase your clean plastic and glass bottles for reuse.
Minimize Your Water Usage
Water is one of the easiest things to forget about when it comes to reducing your carbon footprint. Preserve water by turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth. Shorten your shower by a few minutes and turn down the heat on that water heater. You'll be surprised at how much lower your water bill and your energy bill will be.
Saving money and reducing your carbon footprint? What isn't to love?
These are just a few of the top ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint and start living a greener lifestyle. And we aren't factoring in all of the advantages that we'll reap from public investments in a smarter energy grid.
From decreasing your water usage, to switching to solar for your home's energy needs, you will feel good at the end of the day knowing you are doing your part to save the future of this planet for generations to come!

The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), the Arkansas Department of Education and local school districts statewide are again offering seasonal flu vaccine to school children beginning today. If you have insurance, the ADH will ask your insurance company to pay for the cost of giving the vaccine. If you do not have insurance or your insurance company does not pay, the vaccine will be no charge to you.
The Pope County Health Unit staff will be at the following school locations:
Today — Hector Schools; Wednesday — Atkins Schools; Thursday — Dover Schools; Friday — Pottsville Schools; Oct. 16 — Center Valley Elementary and Crawford Elementary; Oct. 17 — Dwight Elementary and London Elementary; Oct. 18 — Russellville Junior High School; Oct. 19 — Russellville Middle School; Oct. 23 — Russellville Senior High School; Oct. 24 — Oakland Elementary and Sequoyah Elementary; Oct. 25 — St. John's Catholic School; and Oct. 30 — Friendship Services.
Pam Sellers, Pope County Health Unit Administrator said," Flu vaccine consent forms and information about the flu vaccine will be sent home from school with your child. In order for your child to receive the vaccine, parents/guardians must complete the Flu vaccine consent form for their child and return it to the school."
Flu vaccine is not required for children to attend school, but it is highly recommended. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatricians recommend that all children aged 6 months and older receive seasonal flu vaccine every year. In addition to causing illness, seasonal flu causes children to miss school and their parents to miss work.
Flu is a sickness that infects the nose, throat and lungs and is caused by the influenza virus. If you're young and healthy, the flu vaccine may be 70-90 percent effective in preventing illness.
Children 8 years and younger who have never received seasonal flu vaccine before will need a second dose of vaccine for full protection. Parents will need to contact a local ADH health unit or health care provider, see if vaccine is available and take their children in for a second dose 4 weeks after the first vaccine.
Over the last 50 years, flu vaccines have been shown to be safe. All flu vaccines are made the same way. An average of 100 million doses of influenza vaccine have been used in the United States each year, and flu vaccines have an excellent safety record.
Reactions to all flu vaccines might include a mild soreness and redness near the site of the shot and perhaps a little fever or slight headache. The nasal spray flu vaccine side effects may include runny nose, headache and wheezing. The flu vaccine cannot give you the flu.
There are very few medical reasons to not get the flu vaccine. They include life-threatening reactions such as anaphylaxis to a previous dose of flu vaccine or eggs or Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Persons with a non-life threatening egg allergy may be vaccinated but need to see a doctor specializing in allergies.
Influenza symptoms include fever over 100 degrees, headache, extreme fatigue, sore throat, muscle aches, dry cough, runny or stuffy nose and occasionally stomach symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
The influenza virus is spread through coughing or sneezing and by touching a hard surface with the virus on it and then touching the nose or mouth. The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each year.
For more information go to www.healthy.arkansas.gov or www.flu.gov.

English Teacher
I work mainly with children and feel that one of the weaker areas of my teaching to adults is Grammar ... I have some lovely grammar exercises for children, a whole series of books with stone-age man cartoons dancing all over them, but that's not really appropriate for a medical biologist with a PhD!
I have a Grammar text book that has a lot of exercises in it, but these are very repetitive and in small dense type ...
I'm looking for something more like a lesson handout, individual ones for individual topics, with an overview, explanation, list of exceptions (of course) and a few exercises to try ...
I would also really appreciate an overview of what topics of grammar a beginner adult learner can benefit from addressing, and which topics (perhaps 'Phrasal Verbs') might come along a little later ... Does anyone have a plan of which topics to address first and which later, a progression or 'course outline' for the teaching of grammar to adults? I feel I am cherry-picking somewhat as I address the issues that are presenting themselves in my learner's reading ...
Many thanks,

I don't see anything wrong with cherry-picking- dealing with genuine needs as they arise strikes me as sound.
You might find some resources here:
Lesson Plans and Worksheets - ESL Web Directory - UsingEnglish.com
ESL Teacher Resources - UsingEnglish.com
Thank you - I'll look into those suggestions.
I was thinking more of a checklist for me, for the grammar overview, so that if there isn't an obvious need I can choose a topic from a list ... rather than flipping through a file of 'useful sheets' and choosing one at random!
I also worry about missing out something obvious - to a native speaker - that my pupils would really benefit from ... (from which my pupils would really benefit ... sometimes the grammar really does slip when I'm not concentrating!)
Hello Helen
Welcome to the forum
Don't panic. At first when I wanted to teach English to adults I had the same feeling (Oh my goodness! what if they ask me a question and I don't know, what if I goof up). Now after about 11 years of teaching I've learned as far as the students trust you, nothing happens. I mean you have to show them hey we are also human and to err is human as well. However, you should always have something up your sleeves. Something like some nice related vocabulary or idioms. You have to be ready for some unexpected questions, so while you're preparing the lesson plan, you have to consider all the aspects. Try to put yourself in their shoes and expect what may come in class regarding words, idioms, grammar point. Try to have a good command of the lesson. In this case you can help them trust you and when they see you are always ready and prepared they like it and they will for sure don't make a mountain out of a molehill when something slips your mind.
I'm teaching adults as well. I have found them also interested in games as well as excitement in class (of course most of them, to be honest). I agree with Esgaleth, I really adore Ms.Betty Azar's grammar books. Why don't you cherry-pick some course books. You can have a selection of them. Besides you can provide more related exercises along with nice related words. How about some topic-based books, some discussion type of books. You can also work on film as well and do lots of different things with it.
Have a nice day!

Finite Element Method for Internal Wave Equation for Stratified Fluid
In many areas of natural science non-stationary problems on internal wave motion arise. For example, such problems appear in aerophysics, geophysics, oceanology, in theory of rotating fluid, and at design and construction of mining constructions (Gabov & Sveshnikov, 1990). It is a complicated mathematical problem to obtain accurate analytical solutions for such problems. In such cases a natural apparatus for study of internal wave motion processes is in numerical methods. In this work, the schemes of the finite element method with high accuracy in space and time for solution of a mixed boundary problem for internal wave equation for stratified fluid are proposed and studied. The schemes constructed have specific advantages compared to the other schemes: a scheme with high order of accuracy (more than two); besides the solution itself one finds along which that its derivative (velocity) with the same accuracy; at use of interpolation representation of the solution one can obtain, if needed, the solution and its derivative for an arbitrary instant; since the schemes are two-layer ones, one can use variable step without loss of accuracy; the scheme is conventionally stable and requires 4 times more arithmetical operations compared to ordinary ones, though this scheme makes it possible to choose larger time steps to get given accuracy. Besides that, evaluations of accuracy of the schemes for the problem under consideration are obtained. By means of dispersion analysis comparison to known schemes is carried out.

New Zealand v South Africa, Rugby Championship
Weepu returns for All Blacks

New Zealand have recalled Rugby World Cup-winning scrum-half Piri Weepu for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash with South Africa in Dunedin on Saturday.
Weepu earns a promotion from the bench in the only change to the All Blacks' back line as a reward for steering his side past Argentina as a second half substitute in their most recent outing last weekend. Aaron Smith, who has started New Zealand's previous six Tests this year, is named among the replacements.
Coach Steve Hansen has opted for three changes up front in the wake of the bruising clash with the Pumas with another anticipated against the Boks. Sam Whitelock replaces Brodie Retallick at lock, Liam Messam comes in at blindside for Victor Vito and Andrew Hore takes the hooking duties from Keven Mealamu. Retallick, Vito and Mealamu all drop to the bench where there is also one other change that sees utility back Tamati Ellison drafted in at the expense of Ben Smith.
"At the halfway stage of the... Rugby Championship we are very happy, from a results point of view," Hansen said in a statement. "There is a second challenge we have set ourselves, to constantly improve our game and in that regard we are not the finished product. However, the coaching staff and team leaders are reasonably happy with the progress we are making."
New Zealand: Israel Dagg; Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea; Aaron Cruden, Piri Weepu; Tony Woodcock, Andrew Hore, Owen Franks, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock, Liam Messam, Richie McCaw (captain), Kieran Read
Replacements: Keven Mealamu, Charlie Faumuina, Brodie Retallick, Victor Vito, Aaron Smith, Beauden Barrett, Tamati Ellison

Senate Approves Federal Welfare for Second Amendment Men
In a rare show of bipartisanship between Republicans, blue dogs, and embattled Democrats facing tight elections, the Senate overwhelmingly approved a bizarre plan to use federal funds to encourage shooting on public land and exempt lead bullets from pollution guidelines.
New constraints on gun use in the wake of mass shootings are a political nonstarter, but 82 senators tripped over themselves to sign onto the "Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act of 2014," which—in the words of the befuddled British Guardian newspaper—aims
"to protect and enhance opportunities for recreational hunting, fishing, and shooting" by stipulating that shooting ranges on public land can be used for target practice and exempting shotgun pellets and bullets from environmental rules designed to limit lead use.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a pro-gun group based in Newtown, Connecticut, spoke for its co-religionists in the NRA and other gun-industry lobbyists in hailing the act as "simply the most important package of measures for the benefit of sportsmen in a generation."
And those sportsmen will get government benefits galore! The bill text says that big government intervention in the form of "increased Federal support" is needed "to promote enjoyment of shooting, recreational, and hunting activities." How much support? Well, the bill authorizes states to acquire new land and build gun ranges on it—or to simply build them on federal land in their territory, such as national park land—and bill most of the expense to Uncle Sam: up to "90 percent of the cost of the activity" can be borne by the feds, according to the bill.
The bill also tasks federal officials with carting away any mess caused by the states' gun-range construction on federal lands. That includes disposing of expended lead "shot, bullets and other projectiles, propellants, and primers," which are now exempt from pollution and toxic-substance controls, thanks to a provision in the bill that weirdly is titled "MODIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF SPORT FISHING EQUIPMENT," not "PROVISION TO LET GUN OWNERS DRIBBLE LEAD AMMUNITION COMPONENTS WITH IMPUNITY ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN."
How much will all this welfare for armed citizens cost the taxpayer? It's not clear. But it must be a lot less than an extension of unemployment benefits, food stamps, Pell grants, public broadcasting and arts subsidies, or minimum wage raises, because hey, we can't afford all that. As Paul Ryan says, "Washington owes the American people a responsible, balanced budget." And more places to shoot guns!

Report: Prepare for Apple Television Product
Jason Mick
December 20, 2011 11:05 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Launch date remains unknown, but Apple is actively pursuing this new market
The persistent reoccurring rumor that Apple, Inc. (
) will be making television sets has surfaced again.
The Wall Street Journal
is offering up in
a new report
evidence of secret meetings inside of Apple planning the launch of the new television product. The important take home message is that while the launch date appears to be uncertain, Apple is hard-targeting the product (courtesy of deep negotiations with TV content providers and its work on developing advanced user interfaces).
I. Apple Moves Towards Television With New UI, Licensing Work
We first heard about the
possibility of the Apple LCD TV
in an informal discussion with a former Apple Canada executive turned financial analyst. He claimed to us that the project was already relatively advanced and would likely debut sometime in the 2011-2012 time frame.
While that schedule now looks unlikely,
numerous reports
since have indicated that Apple is still chipping away at development.
Currently Apple sells a set-top box that offers streaming media functionality, but lacks the ability to install and use third party apps, a capability which
recently came
to Google Inc.'s (
) Android (Google TV) set-top boxes and integrated internet TVs. Apple TV is relatively inexpensive
retailing for a modest $99 USD
. While Apple announced 3 months after the device's launch that sales had hit 1 million units, it has since refused to comment on the device's sales. Rumor has it that the device is sharing
the sales difficulties
of Logitech International S.A.'s (
) Google TV set-top box.
The Wall Street Journal
report cites private commentary at Apple's 2010 "Top 100" meeting for senior executives as cause for skepticism. At that meeting an executive asked late Apple CEO Steve Jobs whether an Apple TV was in the works, and he responded that the profit margins were too low compared to mobile electronics and that people bought television sets too infrequently to make it worthwhile.
On the other hand, the report points to many signs since then that Apple may indeed be preparing to drop a shiny new television.
Steve Jobs challenged TV providers in a series of recent meetings, asking them how much of the world's video content they truly owned. While the meetings were reportedly in the "exploratory" phase, the parties involved discussed the possibility of Apple becoming a licensed reseller of television content, similar to cable networks. Such a subscription service could give Apple's next generation television product an edge over competitors like Google TV.
Google is reportedly
in similar talks with content providers
In his official licensed biography, Steve Jobs commented that
after years of prototypes of smart TVs
that connected to mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone that Apple had "finally cracked it". In their most recent meetings with television content providers, this topic was raised as well, with Apple discussing a scheme in which a user could begin watching their show on their TV and then moves to another room and continue to watch it on their iPad or iPhone.
Mr. Jobs also indicated that the iPhone or iPad would be able to be used as an advanced remote control for the upcoming television. Apple also appears to be working on other advanced interface technologies.
The WSJ
report comments:
In the recent meetings with media companies, the Apple executives, including Senior Vice President Eddy Cue, have outlined new ways Apple's technology could recognize users across phones, tablets and TVs, people familiar with the talks said.
In at least one meeting, Apple described future television technology that would respond to users' voices and movements, one of the people said.
Such technologies have become mainstream in the video game console industry, thanks to pioneering innovators like Nintendo Comp., Ltd. (
) and Microsoft Corp. (
). But the technologies have thus far only been applied minimally to actually working as a user interface to the television (Microsoft does offer Kinect control in
certain select Xbox 360-accessible television programming
II. Why an Apple Television Makes Sense in the Long Run, Financially
One reason why an Apple television product seems likely is that it would provide a new resource stream for Apple, should it exhaust its existing sales streams.
While it's entirely possible that the iPhone and iPad could continue to thrive for decades to come, Apple's history suggests that while the company is adept -- perhaps the best -- at garnering an early sales and brand image lead, that its penchant for proprietary first-party products and core software has led to it being eventually marginalized.
Already Apple's iPhone has
fallen quite a bit behind Android
in smartphone sales. And while Android tablet sales have
grown at a slower rate than expected
, analysts generate are expecting them to pass iPad sales around 2015.
At this point Apple seems
almost unassailable
from a profitability standpoint, if not from a unit sales standpoint. However, as other highly profitable smartphone makers like Canada's Research in Motion, Ltd. (
) have shown, it
only takes a couple years of dropping sales
to see your cash reserves and quarterly profits erode.
Apple's upcoming television product could be the first major new product to launch without Steve Jobs at the helm, since the late 1990s. [Image Source: AP]
Aside from business side of the equation, the launch of a "smart TV" product would be a landmark moment for Apple, as it would mark the company's first major new product introduced since the death of Steve Jobs. Of course, by the sound of it, the finished product would draw heavily on the early prototype work of Mr. Jobs and Co., so even in his grave he could still remain Apple television's MVP.

This halftime pep talk refers to the game of giving. The River Valley United Way reached the halfway point of its 2006 fund-raising goal recently.
This year's goal was $585,000 so we've got a ways to go. However, we can get it done.
"The River Valley United Way is a local organization that raises money to help our neighbors in the Arkansas River Valley," said Erin Baker, local United Way executive director. "We support local agencies right here in the communities where you live."
The River Valley United Way helps our neighbors, and someday, its charities might help you when you're down. The overwhelming response to hurricane relief has left a void in some local non-profits. As a community, we can find a way to maintain support for our local community.
To donate to the River Valley United Way, or to get more information, visit its Web site at www.rivervalleyunitedway.org or call the office at (479) 968-5089. You can mail your donation to P.O. Box 636, Russellville, AR 72811.
As always, call 968-5252 or e-mail editor @coureirnews.com with any suggestions or story ideas.
