one of the best products from madre labs.
i have tried all three products except camu camu by itself which is included in immune punch which i have tried, have to say midori greens and eureka berries has a positive energy effect on the face, and body (mangosteen in it they say calms the nervous system), immune punch is good doesn't have that same affect only for flu's, if i saved my money i would only buy midori green/eureka berries (which already has elderberries in it for the flu) and just buy ahcc seperately instead of buying immune punch that has it to save some money. Even tastes like you are drinking the berries without much sugar and calories in it very healthy drinks.

Among all the debate on global warming, The UN
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long been one of the loudest
voices. Despite accusations of bias and political motivations, the IPCC has
been persuasive in getting many governments to pass environmental legislation.
So when the IPCC releases a new report, downgrading man's impact on the
environment by 25% (and lowing predictions of temperature and sea level rise by
50%), one would think this good news would make headline news across the
nation. Think otherwise. Such happy news apparently isn't fit for public
consumption, according to our mass media.The media has been even less forthcoming with the details of
another UN report, entitled Livestock's
Long Shadow. This 400 page report expresses what people who study global
warming have long since known-- that the world cattle population is responsible
for some 18% of all greenhouse gases, a
larger contribution than planes, trains, automobiles, and all other forms of
transportation combined.
The report also blames livestock farming for over
100 other polluting gases, including the number one source of ammonia, a major
contributor to acid rain. It further blames ranching for deforestation, and
ends with a slap at the massive amounts of drinking water used to feed cattle
herds, which presumably is taking water from the mouths of thirsty children.
So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your
Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds.

Azarenka and Li to meet in Open final
World No.1 Victoria Azarenka survived a panic attack and a controversial time-out to stagger into the Australian Open final against China's Li Na on Thursday.
Li stunned Russian Maria Sharapova to reach her second Australian final when she ended the second seed's spectacular run with a 6-2 6-2 victory.
Azarenka dispatched 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens 6-1 6-4 but not until Stephens had saved five match points and the top seed had left the court for a medical time-out.
She was checked on court for what appeared to be a back injury at 5-4 in the final set.
Azarenka also said later she had chest pains and difficulty breathing in the searing 35C heat but attributed it to a back issue.
She said her back had to be "unlocked" to enable her to breathe properly when she was off court.
Azarenka retired from her fourth round Open match against Serena Williams in 2009 with heatstroke.
After continually being rebuffed while earning match points only to see them evaporate, she admitted to an anxiety attack.
"I almost did the choke of the year," Azarenka said. "I had so many chances and I couldn't close it out.
"I was overwhelmed realising I was just one step away from the final and the nerves got the better of me."
She later avoided a question by the on-court commentator about the reason she left the court, but said she had misunderstood it.
"When you cannot breathe you start to panic and you cannot convert the match point," Azarenka said.
"It was just so stressing me out, the pain that I had.
"As the doctor explained to me after when the rib locks it blocks your diaphragm and you can't breathe.
"I thought I was going to play through the pain...I never had it before that's what was freaking me out."
Sharapova's loss means Azarenka retains the world No.1 ranking.
The Russian made an ominous start against Li with a double fault on the first point of her opening service game and saw herself broken for the first time in the tournament when she netted a return.
With Sharapova trailing 5-2 in the first set, it meant that in less than a set the Russian had lost the same number of games as she had in her first four matches combined.
Sharapova, the 2008 champion, had set a new Australian record in conceding just nine games in all her matches en route to the semi-finals.
Li was a huge hit as she made her way to the 2011 final, before losing to Belgian Kim Clijsters, and has lost none of her crowd appeal.
"Every time I come back here...I don't know what it is I always play well here," Li said.
"At the beginning of the match I was nervous...but for some reason I really want to win the match."

I found this bee inside our house in Derbyshire. It's about 8mm long. Please can anyone tell me what it is?
I would say Osmia bicornis, aka Osmia rufa.
Thank you! That does make sense as our house is heaving with those. The reason I asked about this one is that it was very pale, almost blonde. Looking at my photos now, I realise how much darker and redder it looks, but in fact it was significantly paler than all the other ones we get. Do you think that could just be a normal colour variation?
Yes, I think it's normal variation.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Dream, Oct 30, 2010.
You'll have to forgive me for not reading through 40 pages of posts before asking.
Cracked lays it out the best I have seen. 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail(Quickly).
Very funny, and well written little piece.
But I'm not really looking for a scientifically accurate zombie apocalypse.
I just want some reasonable explanation for how civilization falls with all its mighty armies and massive resources. Yet our ten or so idiots in a magical self-repairing RV survive, all while bickering and beating each up, not noticing the machine guns laying all around or even having the good sense to fort up in a remote hard walled building somewhere.
I like the show more than almost anything else on TV at the moment, but there is a reality disconnect that is jarring for a show trying to stay so grounded and realistic.
If too much blood got into the water table that would make zombie rain.
But it they haven't mentioned it, I doubt it happened.
Some people just have lucky breaks.
This is a cool book, and series, and all that, but I'd really like to see them film Philip Nutman's novel Wet Work. That has different 'stages' of undead, if you can believe it; some of them are the slow, shambling 'dumb' zombies we're used to seeing, others are the super-fast variety, all the way up to intelligent, thinking zombies that retain their personality and memories and can do everything we can, like talk, drive cars, put on new clothes, organize ambushes ("Body patrol, come and bag our food!") using guns, etc.
Failing that, I'd go for the possessed-by-aliens angle that another book (which I can't remember at the moment) used. I think that's the only actual 'realistic' zombie portrayal that could be done. There's no other way a dead body could become reanimated; biology just doesn't work that way.
That's not the point of the series.
Yeah...they probably nit picked "Darmok " & "Inner Light", and thought they were bad episodes.
Just taking the series for what it is, a zombie story, it's not too bad. But the last TV show that really kept my interest was nu-BSG and this doesn't even come close and frankly shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. I'll watch the next season though just because I'm interested in seeing what happens to the people and if they ever get out of this mess and recreate Earth.
As to the show itself, its best moment came in the opening episode where our hero tracks down that half a zombie lady in the park and says "I'm sorry this happened to you" before he shoots her. There just wasn't a really good moment after that for me.
In any zombie story you're going to have to go with a little suspesion of disbelief, or else give the zombies or its cause some extraordinary powers.
The problem I see with a lot of these thread is that people have seen too many movies. They expect that if the dead started to rise, they'd suddenly turn into John Rambo: Zombie Killer. When in fact, most people would hesitate, get frightened, or freak out completely when faced with a horde of partly decayed creatures covered in blood and gory wounds. And probably smelling to high heaven too.
Actually if you're interested in this sort of thing, I'd suggest tracking down a copy of the Zombie Combat Manual http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Combat...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1291775053&sr=1-1 It really is a well done and researched book rather than a quicky knock-off of Max Brooks' book.
Random thoughts:
* I can see how zombies could be easy to defeat if it occured in pockets that could be isolated and held in check. But if it occurred everywhere at the same time?
* In some ways, fighting zombies is easier. They don't shoot back, or really have any real weapons apart from their bare hands. Otoh, theres no such thing as a wounded zombie. Shoot a human opponent in an arm, leg, or chest, and they're pretty much down for the count. Humans can also be intimidated, or knocked out by concussion weapons, flash-bangs, or shrapnel. The same shot will only slow a zombie down for a few seconds. (another reason I also really recomend anyone track down a copy of WWZ. It really does cover a lot of this stuff in detail)
* And yes, many people have guns. But how many, apart from a few 'gun nuts' have more than a few boxes of anno lying around? That plus the fact that unless you're a hardcore gang-banger, or combat vet, you're likely to have a problem with, or even hesitate to shoot anther person. No matter how bad-ass you think you might be.
Theres also the problem that, despite what we see in the show, making consistant head shots isn't that easy, unless you're right up in the zombies face.
Just my $.02.
This piece of news makes me go :
This is amazing on so many levels.
Can't say I blame him. Who wouldn't want to be a zombie onscreen? Just God forbid the show starts turning into 'Celebrity Zombie Cameo of the Week'
Great article. Interesting about the zombie porn.
I think people would be wigged out the first day, but they'd very quickly get used to thinking of zombies as subhuman (which, after all, they are) and after that, the main problem would be the bullet supply. People are perfectly capable of dehumanizing other people who are not dead, decaying, and trying to eat them, so I really don't see the problem, after everyone gets over the initial shock.
And any celebrity who wants to be a zombie on this show should have to agree to play themselves. Imagine how much fun they could have when the gang makes their way to what remains of Hollywood...
stay tuned
...in one year!
I think this wait is going to be painful.
Yeah, he won't even require makeup or anything.
The chapter covering the Battle of Yonkers is definitely worth checking out. It's a very plausible scenario on how the military could FUBAR the whole thing up.
Every single person on the planet in the comic book is infected with the Zombie cells. I won't say virus anymore because virus is the wrong word.
You die of any cause you come back a Zombie. (unless your death involves having your brain destroyed)
Shock and awe. Plus sheer numbers on the Zombie side.
Bombs don't work. You can't attack the Zombie general because there isn't one. You can't even use chemical weapons.
The Zombie is truly an Army of One.
Throw in that a significant chunk of our armed forces are over seas plus you've all been trained to fight humans and you may have a problem.
Doesn't do any good when your supply lines are mangled by Zombies. Or when you run out of ammo and gas. Or when soldiers start thinking of their families.
And sure you've got Atlanta roped off but what about all the other cities?
I think it would be longer then 48 hours. If only because politicians don't want to get on TV and say, "The dead are coming back to life to eat you."
I'd bet there are millions of Zombies with bullet holes on them except for the one place a bullet should be: the head.
There are other survivors.
Yeah. Because the military didn't understand how to effectively fight Zombies. Had they know they would have been on the roof of the Department store shooting Zombies from the top instead of being on the street level with millions of Zombies attacking them.
There comes a point where sheer numbers will overwhelm any force. Zombies don't run and hide. They don't have strategy and tactics. They don't surrender. They don't stop. They simply come at you like tsunami.
Then stop watching. Are we going to have to go through the whole series with you complaining?
The M-1 Abrams is a fuel hog. What do you do when you can't get fuel because the un-armored trucks get over run by Zombies?
On this I would agree but they really didn't have time in front of the CDC to grab these things since the building blew up and no doubt attracted the attention of every Zombie for 30 miles to start heading towards the CDC.
This is actually perfect and makes the most sense. The Zombie stuff spreads through out the population like the flu. Lot's of people get sick and die and come back. Of course others dying from non-Zombie deaths come back too.
Throw in bureaucratic slowness in understanding what they are truly facing and the world collapses.
Yeah but whens the last time you fought 10,000 human beings at the same time? And by that I mean you personally versus all 10,000. (I just pulled 10,000 out of the air but it could be thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions)
They repaired the RV. Eventually they get to "fort up" but I just know you'll complain about that.
With all that said I think in real life in order for a "zombie plague" to have a chance of overwhelming the world it would have to be like Jax said. Everyone gets infected and then a significant chunk of people get sick and die. Enough people to overwhelm any response. Even then humanity would survive in much better shape then is shown so far in the Walking Dead or other Zombie movies.
Other then that scenario we are too well versed in the ways of the Zombie. We know what to do.
Man could you imagine the two plus billion people in China and India turning into Zombies? Now that would be a survival nightmare.
I like the show, but nothing is more boring to me than people gushing over how good something is. Complaining and critiquing are much more fun and stimulating.
As to listening to me complain, its your choice to read message boards, if you expect everyone to agree with your opinion you might want to find a different venue.
As to all the Max Brooks fanboys out there pushing the, "Plausible Zombie Apocalypse" argument and citing WWZ as evidence, I'll just remind you of two things. Max has never served in the military nor have firsthand experience with it.
Government bureaucracy is slow and inflexible. An armored cavalry troop is not. When cut loose from restraints, as happens when you see one person die(trust me, saw it all the time in Iraq) all the by the book crap goes away and you get down to the lean and mean business of killing people and protecting your own. A single canister round from one of our tanks could wipe out that 10,000 zombie wave and each tank can hold several dozen of those rounds. A single radio message on our tactical net tells us that only head shots work.
And I would point out that we actually do have historical records of human wave attacks of upwards of tens of thousands of fire-arm equipped, fast moving, intelligent human soldiers, aided by indirect fires support and close air support. AND THEY GOT DESTROYED by 1940s technology. We have numerous advances in weaponry today that would make human wave attacks even less effective(claymores, integral optics, assault rifles).
But then we get the counterarguments. Zombies don't stop coming until you put a bullet in their brain. Shock and Awe won't stop them. And you'll run out of bullets and your logistical situation will be screwed before the zombies run out of bodies(as if some zombie general is in the back urging his soldiers, "C'mon men, they're low on ammo, one more push!")
1) Headshots. The entire US army now uses optics on their rifles. M68 red dot sights, EOTech holographic sights, Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights(ACOG and my personal sight). Look them up, or better yet go try one out. Headshots out to a couple hundred meters are not hard with the M4-M16 and a decent optic.
2) Who needs Shock and Awe when your opponent has no mind, and no intelligence? Don't buy into that Bush-era crap, the military is still all about killing people and breaking things. And it is the one thing we excel at(besides drinking enormous qualities of cheap booze).
3) Number of bullets. Sure in China it might be a problem. In the USA? Hell no. Aside from vast stockpiles, reloading brass is not that difficult. I have several neighbors who make their own ammunition. It might not be a common skill set today, but it sure would be about a day after a zombie outbreak.
4) Logistics. Always a problem. But the Army's 16-ton up-armored HEMT truck which I have driven across rivers, three feet of mud(I think an ocean of zombie blood would be less taxing on the truck personally) is the standard deliverer of bullets, beans and fuel. We have more than 13,000 of these trucks, and each could run over a hundred thousand zombies on the way to deliver its cargo and be perfectly fine.
But again, while this argument is fun. It is also a rabbit-trail.
In the Walking Dead the government and military fell, and I have no problem with that. If that is the premise the show is operating under, great, groovy I'm down with that.
All I would like is some throw-away line about why our disorganized, in-fighting, leaderless, ill-equipped heroes have survived where an organization ideally suited to surviving has not.
It could be something as simple as, "The anthrax vaccine all our soldiers are injected with made them susceptible to an air-born strain of zombie-ism that turned 95% of them into walkers in the first day."
A line like that from the CDC doctor could easily have been tossed out there and explain everything with no need to every mention it again.
Why not? Do bombs somehow not damage the brains of the things they're dropped on anymore?
Separate names with a comma.

What Else Can We Expect from Season 4 of The Clone Wars?
We have gotten three episodes about fish species fighting each other, one about Gungans, two Droids episodes and we are in the midst of an awesome clone-centric 4-parter. This Friday's episode will be the tenth of the season. With 12 episodes left after that, what can we expect from the rest of the season? Let's take a look at some images that have been revealed to us in trailers and see if we can shed some light on what is left in Season 4.
Slaves of the Republic
Directly following the Umbara story arc, there will be a three episode story arc with episodes titled "Slaves of the Republic", "Kidnapped" and "Escape from Kadavo". This story arc is to be based on the Dark Horse comic story Slaves of the Republic. Many of the images we have seen in the trailers seem to come from this story arc. In many ways, it seems like they have stayed true to the comic with some of the images from the show looking like they were lifted straight from the comic.
The basic premise of the comic story is that some Togruta have been kidnapped and sold into slavery, and Anakin, Obi-wan, Ahsoka, and Rex go to try and free them. It will be nice to see the "Big 4" back together again. In fact, it will be nice to see Obi-Wan actually do something this season since he has been nearly non-existent in the first nine episodes. It will also be interesting to see how close they stay to the comic storyline. Based on the images we have seen, they have already decided to drastically change the appearance of the Zygerrians from the comic. In the comic they have long red hair, but in the show it seems to have been switched out for cat or bat-like ears.
SPOILER ALERT: The inclusion of what looks to be Rex in some of the images would indicate that he does indeed survive the events on Umbara.
Ever since their appearance in Season Two we have all wondered when we would see Deathwatch again. This season promises to show their return. Based on this image it looks like we are going to see Pre Vizsla again and he has gotten some cool upgrades to his helmet.
You may also notice Lux Bonteri in the above picture. Lux is a character who was introduced in Season 3 as the son of a Separatist and a possible love interest for Ahsoka. Based on a preview clip that was shown before the season even started, we will see Lux traveling with Ahsoka and an encounter with Deathwatch on a snowy planet. It will be interesting to see how Lux reacts to the Deathwatch. He is a troubled boy/man because he believes both of his parents were killed by the Republic. Will he join Deathwatch? Is he secretly already a member? We can also look forward to seeing the female Deathwatch character, Bo-Katan, voiced by Katee Sackhoff.
Cad Bane and Bossk
Since they are both members of species who have a lot of similar looking members, we cannot be 100% sure, but these sure look like images of a couple of our favorite bounty hunters staging a prison break. The last time we saw Cad Bane he was escaping capture by Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos. How did he get stuck in prison? Is he there just to break Bossk out? Is Boba Fett still in prison too?
Asajj Ventress on Dathomir
Another thing we know is coming up this season is the return of Asajj Ventress. Based on the images it looks like she is back on Dathomir leading some nightsisters against General Grievous and his droids.
Darth Maul and Savage Opress
We have been promised Maul sometime in Season 4. We have even been shown an image of him, but it is still being speculated what form he will be in. Most believe we will indeed get Maul in a physical form in The Clone Wars. What we don't know is if he is going to be whole. Mech legs or not it will be cool to see the silent assassin from The Phanton Menace back. And what about his brother? Because we are getting Maul does that automatically mean we are getting Savage Opress this season too? Let's hope so.
Here are a couple more images. Not sure exactly where they fit into the remaining stories in the season.
And one last thing I noticed. In the season 4 trailer that was shown before the season started, there is a quick sequence where Commander Cody is showing a hologram to what looks like a Jedi. Anakin approaches them and uses the Force to pull the hologram out of Cody's hand and destroys it in anger. It happens so fast in the trailer you might have missed it. In this first image it is hard to make out what the hologram is showing.
As the hologram is being pulled away it becomes clearer for just a second. It shows what looks like a Zabrak male. Is that Darth Maul? Savage Oppress? Eeth Koth? Is it even a Zabrak? Am I just seeing what I want to see?
And then Anakin destroys it. Whatever it was, Anakin did not like it very much. Time will reveal all. Or at least all that Filoni wants it to reveal.
What do you want to see in the rest of Season 4? Let us know in the comments below.

CHARLESTON, W.Va.–Delegate Justin Marcum (D-Mingo, Logan) has introduced legislation that would create a special license plate to commemorate the Hatfield and McCoy story. This license plate will let West Virginians show their love for their state and its history.
"With the recent success of the Hatfield-McCoys, it is time to capitalize on its success. We have an opportunity to make southern West Virginia a hub of tourism. I am proud to introduce this bill and will continue working to improve our local economy," Marcum said.
The special license plate will be available to anyone in the state for a annual fee. The plate would join the many other special license plates currently available, including those commemorating veterans, teachers, state universities, and many others.
Marcum is the lead sponsor of the bill. Delegates Rupert Phillips Jr. (D-Logan), Joshua Nelson (R-Boone), Harry Keith White (D-Mingo), Jeff Eldridge (D-Lincoln), Doug Reynolds (D-Cabell), Ted Tomblin (D-Logan), Anthony Barill (D-Monongalia), Linda Goode Phillips (D-Wyoming), Joe Ellington (R-Mercer), and Eric Nelson (R-Kanawha) are the co-sponsors.

For Your Viewing Pleasure: Meet Matthew Terry, The Man From That Bangin' Calvin Klein Ad
- By Bossip Staff
8 of 13
Meet Matthew Terry From The Calvin Klein Super Bowl Ad
Of all the dozens of Super Bowl ads we saw on Sunday, the one that stole the show was the chiseled abs and man cakes on one Calvin Klein ad.
While most men turned away, the ladies (and fellas with alternatives lifestyles) were glued to their sets trying to figure out who the man-banger was. Well, we did some digging and found out that the model is none other than Matthew Terry.
We found some more of his pics for your viewing pleasure. Bookmark the page and come back when you're lonely later tonight, too.

Sisters Hospital Supports Stomping Out Smoking
Home » About Us » News » 2009 News » Sisters Hospital Supports Stomping Out Smoking
November 16, 2009
These days, it is becoming more and more inconvenient to be a smoker. Sisters Hospital's Main Street campus is already smoke-free, with the St. Joseph Campus well on its way to joining a growing number of hospitals and businesses that are prohibiting smoking on their property.
For all the smokers who have been waiting for a reason to quit, they need not wait any longer. Along with Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Sisters Hospital will take part in the American Cancer Society's "Great American Smokeout" on November 19 by encouraging its patients, associates and staff to "kick the habit" for good.
This annual event challenges current smokers to quit smoking for the entire day, with the hopes they will find inspiration to quit permanently. Non-smokers are encouraged to inform smokers of the many resources available to assist in quitting, ranging from prescription medications to lessen cravings, to support from family and friends.
Apart from it becoming less attractive in the public eye, smoking can lead to serious health issues. Lung Cancer, often caused by smoking, is responsible for approximately one in three cancer deaths. While the best medicine is always to quit smoking, new advances in minimally invasive lung surgery, available at Sisters Hospital, are giving many lung cancer patients a new lease on life.
The procedure consists of substantially smaller incisions than traditional "open" surgery, allowing the cancerous lung to be removed without cracking the ribcage. According or Mark Jajkowski, MD, a cardio-thoracic surgeon at Sisters Hospital, who has been performing this surgery for over two years, the minimally invasive procedure is as effective as open surgery with fewer complications, less scaring and less pain. Virtually all Dr. Jajkowski's patients have been smokers at some point.

Get Ready for More Lawyers!
Everyone's favorite lawyer show has been renewed for a second season. Cue champagne! Also today: John Goodman will make you laugh, Mimi Leder will make you cry, and Haley Reinhart will make you...dance?
- Sweet misty relief, TNT has gone and answered our prayers. Namely they've renewed their two rockin' lawyer dudes show Franklin & Bash for a second season. That's classic Franklin, TNT. Or is it total Bash? It's something, TNT. It says something about you that you renewed this hilarious show about two cocky lawyers eating boobs and murdering women. I mean, wait? I don't actually know what this show is about. I'm just assuming they murder women? Otherwise the women they take home would escape and tell everyone that Franklin and Bash sleep together in the same race car bed and that would be so embarrassing when they got back to the law office the next day. "Do you guys... sleep in the same race car bed?" "SHUT UP STACY!!!" [Franklin and Bash run away.] (I'm assuming there's a character named Stacy.) So yeah. Franklin & Bash are renewed for a second season and they will continue to be awesome bros who murder women and then go to sleep in their race car bed. Good thing. [THR]
- Jolly old fat man John Goodman is taking some time away from the water-ravaged wilds of New Orleans to go back to school. Well, actually, he'll be a dean. Of the community college on Community! Yes, King Ralph himself has joined the cast of NBC's manically self-aware (but still funny!) sitcom, for "at least six episodes." This is good. John Goodman is funny. Community is funny (diehard Community fans on the other hand...). They are a good match, in terms of funniness. Go Goodman! [Vulture]
- Lloyd just got a promotion! Rex Lee, who plays Ari Gold's little geisha boi on Men's Town, has landed a regular role on the upcoming show Suburgatory. So that's good for him. Though, uh, that title. That terrible, terrible title. Suburgatory. That's really bad, right? I'm sorry I just think it's bad. Whatever, opinions are like assholes: poop comes out of them. Carry on, Lloyd! [Deadline]
- Though its currently in its eighth season and has been on and off the air for eleven years now, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm is doing better than practically ever before. This past Sunday's (wonderful, ballsy) episode nabbed 2.4 million pairs of eyeballs, making it the most-watched episode since 2004. Amazing! It's really humming along this season, so I'm glad folks are watching. What I am glad folks are not watching is the little conductor dance I do during the opening theme song, arm flailing wildly on the big WHUMP-woomp part. Can't help it! Happens every time. I just love that damn whump-woomp. [Deadline]
- Fans of justice ought to rejoice, because an egregious American Idol wrong has been righted. No, they haven't put Danny Gokey in jail. They've given last season's shoulda-been-the-winner Haley Reinhart a record deal! Yeah, 19 Entertainment/Interscope will make an album with her that, one assumes, will be called Growl! Scratch!: The Adventures of Growlscratch, a concept album in which Haley sings as her alter ego Growlscratch, a cat person who roams the countryside getting in adventures. Look for songs such as "Meowshriek's Melody," "Roarkitty!" and "Let's Put Danny Gokey In Jail." It's gonna be a good one. (The joke is that Haley has a scratchy voice and yelled a lot on the show, that's all.) [EW]
- Kaley Cuoco, the boobs one on Big Bang Theory, has been tapped
by Johnny Galeckito host the Teen Choice Awards this year. Oh the Teen Choice Awards are big awards. Literally! They're surfboards. Because of teens! Kaley will introduce presenters and musical acts and whatnot and presumably tell some jokes, while all the creepos and Pervy Mervys and the like mill about choosing their teens. That's what Teen Choice means right? [THR]
- Mimi Leder, the director who was doing fine (The Peacemaker, Deep Impact, the "Love's Labor Lost" episode of ER) until a little movie called Pay It Forward happened, has just agreed to direct a new adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front. So good for her! She's good, I like her. And before you grumble about "Oh, damn remakes," let's keep in mind that the first All Quiet movie came out eighty-one years ago, so it's probably OK to do another one. Though, just you wait until all the patriots of this nation realize that it's about a German during WWI, not an American. A German! That we're supposed to sympathize with! Just despicable. [Deadline]

text: Well, I think it was Chrissie's comment, from the voice. She was talking about how Sloane has more variety then Azzy, but how more variety means more things can go wrong (and how Azzy does a few things only and does it very well). If you look at Djokovic/Nadal vs Federer, do you think Fed's so-called variety is a liability or a strength?

Angela Stiepel Case created the scholarship in honor of her husband, who died in a car accident last Thanksgiving at age 59. Turner Broadcasting System, CNN's parent company, matched Case's contribution raising the endowment to $20,000.The wife of University of Central Oklahoma alumnus and longtime CNN anchor Stanley Case recently donated $10,000 to establish the Stanley W. Case Endowed Memorial Scholarship in Mass CommunicationsFund in the UCO College of Liberal Arts.
"Stan spent much of his career helping other journalists find their voices," said Case. "I created this scholarship to benefit UCO's aspiring journalists and keep Stan's generous spirit alive."
Originally from Prague, Okla., Stanley Case graduated from Central with a degree in broadcasting. He then went on to obtain his law degree from Georgia State University College of Law.
Case began his career in Oklahoma serving as a broadcaster at stations in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City before joining CNN in 1985. In 1991, Case shared the Ohio State Award for Excellence with CNN staff for his coverage of the Persian Gulf War. He also served as the past president and charter member of the Oklahoma City News Broadcasters Association.
"We are so appreciative of Mrs. Case's generosity toward our students. She believes in the value of higher education," said Gary Steward, Ph.D., interim dean of the UCO College of Liberal Arts. "Stan positively contributed to his profession for more than 40 years, and now, with this gift, his legacy will continue to influence generations of UCO students."

Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by Babolast, May 22, 2010.
Six1 brother, you beat me to it!
next time you beat me but nothing about Rafa
Rafa should be up there very soon I suspect.
Nike Tennis posted this clip on facebook and at 0:16 there's a poster with Nadal wearing a red polo. That's the shirt that he'll wear at Toronto and Cincinnati?
The Pink Fed has 4 lines in the middle.
It looks almost the same as the Manhattan 2008 Polo, which only had 2.
Thats the grand slam polo for Nike Sportswear.
Finally clothes to match my Perfect Pink FeatherLight Hat.
I wonder if Fed will wear a pink bandana or khaki.
Inno please reply to my email.
Where is this from? Feel free to let me know by post or email.
Thanks to all for the pics, real and imagined. Except that one from you Sixone - I will have nightmares about Fed in all pink. I'm going out on a limb and claiming he won't be wearing pink shorts with the shirt. Probably white - or dark blue.
...or khaki....
I have the smoke version of the '08 Manhattan. Great shirt. Not sure about the pink - will probably go with the white.
Maybe this is worthy of another thread - with a poll: is this Nike's best year for clothes ever?
OMG! 10char
I actually really like the way the pink and khaki go together, i would just never wear it lol those polos look really nice.
Thanks for the pictures, I'm just wondering why there is no RF logo on the shirts...did Nike decide to remove it for the public again?
Its gonna be on the bottom of the left sleeve.
love the wimby outfit
Is this for any specific players? Hope not. I like this
Alright well pics have been posted... so here's the rest:
I think you guys have all seen this already at some point... Federer stuff at the top, Nadal stuff 2nd row, the rest is for the other Nike sponsored hitters...
Second shirt from the left on 2nd row is Nadal's Toronto/Cincinnati Solar Red Crew, followed by the Hot Lime and Black/Hot Lime he will wear at the Open...
Here is nadal wearing the Solar red crew(???)
Yup that's the Solar Red crew.
Nice find!!
It doesn't look as bad as it does in the photo.
Thanks to Nev1:
This one also:
Damn that Pink and Brown looks like a pre-school private school uniform.
Just add in black lunarlites with white socks and a hat
That C.B colourway is sweet
here's the glowy ones. again, full credit goes to nev1:
no picture! i need to see these!
credit to nev1:
you can also see them in the back here:
Glow in the darks super limited edition??
I thought I read somewhere that they'll be ultra hard to come by and there may be only a few limited retail sources available? We can only hope they'll be available.
That color is again really sick.
Any pics of Nadal's crew yet?
Rafa training in his pink Fall crew!
That pink rafa crew is sick.
r u sure? thats the picture that comes up when you want to see more pics of the grey/lime colorway
Any pics of the RF jacket?
The shirt remind me of this:
Inno is right. That is indeed from the Winter 10 line.
I've never seen Nadal wearing those small wristbands.
that white shirt is suppose to be for wimby right? How come it doesn't have that blue lining inside the colar?
Ya'll see the water-mark...
wow....that is SICK! i'm really going to buy the black shirt and shorts
and maybe it's time for new shoes by then :twisted:
it's also a great outfit for nadal (when he's number one again....I hope)
thanks for posting!
pink shoes with this shirt ?

SNOW HILL – Over $1.5 million in cuts have forced Worcester County's Health Department to reduce services, transfer staff and eliminate programs.
County residents are receiving fewer services, said Worcester County Health Department Officer Debbie Goeller while reporting on the current state of her department to the Worcester County Commissioners Tuesday. Waiting lists for available services are a possibility, she added.
The health department lost funding from federal, state, and county sources this fiscal year.
"We are very close to $1.5 million in reductions. $1.5 million. It's huge," Goeller said.
That equates to 17 full-time positions, she said.
State mandated employee furloughs have also taken a toll on the health department, resulting in 793 lost days of service.
"Just because people are furloughed doesn't mean that the need for services or the demand for services has lessened. In these economic times, it's the opposite," said Goeller.
The health department avoided lay-offs through a surge of public health emergency response funding to handle H1N1 virus prevention, but that funding will not last beyond the swine flu crisis, she said.
The impact of the cuts "has been fairly even handed and it has hit every department in the health department except dental," Goeller said.
Retaining skilled staff is a concern, said Goeller, since much of the health department's workers have in-demand skills which ensures employment elsewhere.
The health department has reduced services at its Pocomoke location one day per week and has eliminated the summer youth health service in Ocean City.
"It certainly will not be open again his summer," Goeller said.
The health department is considering consolidating and reducing evening and weekend health service hours as well.
Employees who otherwise might have lost their jobs were shifted to vacant positions often in other areas, requiring flexibility and cross training, said Goeller.
Less funding means fewer services, according to Goeller.
Addictions counselors are now required to handle 25 percent more patients with the state caseload requirement raised from 30 to 40. Goeller compared this situation to the need for small class sizes in public schools, which means more attention for each student, or in the case of addiction services, each patient.
County residents in need of addictions services have limited choices for treatment, Goeller said, since 65 percent of the health department's addiction patients have no health insurance.
Cutting some positions, such as the 4.5 full-time positions lost in addictions services, can affect the health department's budget in more than one way. The department charges fees for some addictions service, and reducing positions and the number of patients served leads to a decline in that income from the previous year.
Money for tobacco control programs, including in the schools, has been reduced by two-thirds.
Funding for colorectal cancer screening has also been cut, reducing the number of colonoscopies the health department can fund for low-income residents from 33 to 23.
Core mental health services lost $40,000 this fiscal year and will lose $80,000 next fiscal year. According to Goeller, that $40,000 loss has been absorbed, but staff has yet to work out a way to handle the doubled cut next year. Money to purchase services from mental health care vendors has been also been cut, a loss of $205,000.
Goeller said she is reluctant to go with a regional approach to core services for mental health. Somerset County took that road, contracting with Wicomico County to handle those services.
"We feel pretty strongly about wanting to have that service here in Worcester County," said Goeller.
The health department also lost a case management coordinator for developmental disabilities.
The "Just for Girls" sexual abstinence program at Snow Hill Middle School was also eliminated this year.
Goeller said the health department's prime challenge is to come up with a way to serve the public while saving money.
"We're going to get right on that in January and come up with some strategy. We have to do it sooner rather than later," said Goeller.
Plans must be in place to handle H1N1 and rabies outbreaks, according to Goeller.
"That requires a lot of manpower and a lot of manpower hours," Goeller said.
"I don't think it's any secret to any of us these are challenging times," said County Commission President Bud Church.
"It has been difficult," Goeller said.

I wanted to bump this thread to show how Yorman has continued his hot start into Bakersfield. In his first 85 PA, Yorman is hitting .267/.353/.493. That is a .227 ISO. Furthermore, his BABIP is only .327 which seems to be around where he is likely to end up this season. I am very encouraged by his 8.2% BB rate, although his 25.9% K rate still needs to come down a little.
I hope doug has always been right and this kid just needed to mature a little bit before he takes off. I hope he keeps it up in Bakersfield, so that we can debate a mid-season call up to Pensacola before hopefully counting him in our discussions of future LFs.

Is Gym Red a real red, or is it more pink? It's hard to tell!
Can people pls use a scaler for their pics? They don't need to be two screens tall to demonstrate your design.
Well here is the 10 pair I purchased for Hard Court. I will be purchasing maybe 6 more pair for Clay.
I thought "Gym Red" was more burgundy than actual red.
Also, a friend of mine thought the "orange" looked red.
And why aren't there shades of purple?! I could do some real damage if they had purple...
To the person that's purchasing 16 pairs @ $165 ea.
If you don't mind me asking, how much do you make a year to have a shoe budget like that? I'd like to get there someday..
Well, I've narrowed it down to two choices. Think if I do bite the bullet on price I'm gonna go with the cool grey inspired one's, although that white midsole is going to get destroyed.
Borrelli, I like the second one better, but you could get the regular silver and blue ones and they are close to that color scheme. The first one is more unique. I'd go with that.
Do you guys think I should go A or B?
Also going to do a white.
It's so hard to use the "White Lime" in the upper without turning the entire shoe into a bucket of primer paint...
you sir, you does it for the lulz!
I'm gonna buy CB 4.3s on 1/1 then send them in and get id vapors!!!
something simple
This folks might just be the most feasible approach. Will they actually let you spend your voucher on a ID product? You just have to deal with wearing 4.3's for that long which isn't very pleasant if your feet are at the very slightest wide.
I remember that they dont but I hope that I'm wrong.
"The Zebra"
How much narrower are the 4.3 than the 3.3? I had 4 or 5 pairs of 3.3s and they fit ok.
For anyone that asked if you could use the Nike voucher on Nikeid products yes you can, I did it for the Vapor 9id, and all I had to pay was 62$ with a credit card
Hmm, but you had to pay more than the voucher was worth to get them.
Yes but only $35 because 4.3 is $130 (if you buy current season)and vapor id is $165
Tax and shipping so $62+a voucher ($130) is about right.
Forgot about tax+ Shipping. Can anyone answer my question regarding 3.3 and 4.3 narrowness? 1st post of this page.
So my whole total for the vapor 9id was 192$ with tax and shipping (tax like 12$ shipping was 15$) and my voucher was for 130$ so i used that and had only 62$ left to pay with a credit card
Oh and concerning the 3.3 and 4.3 narrowness i personally thought that the 3.3 was more narrow than the 4.3, so the 4.3 should feel a bit roomier than the 3.3's
I agree with it. 4.3 felt better and so much comfortable than 3.3.
I have to go a half size up on all CB's and my foot isn't even that wide.
Might give it a shot come Jan 1. Thanks guys
"2013 US Open"
"2013 Wimbledon" (Wish they had "Wimbledon Purple"!)
"2013 French Open" (Designed to look better with a heavy coating of red clay!)
"2013 Australian Open"
That's the default Nike sample isn't it? I personally like it, great way to blend the colors together.
Nah some of it is tweaked
Anyone else find it a little annoying that the "fingers" and the body of the shoe have to be the same color? Think about how many more combinations you could make? A white shoe with black fingers or vice versa?
Amen, Nike needs to let us customize the sections of the shoes with more detail like how the 2k11s were able to be made.
So excited! Great idea nike!
Also, they need to add a red color sole for clay. Why would they have it available for all the other surfaces (even grass) except the only one that's played on red dirt?
Space Jam inspired. I think I may stick with the BRED inspired ones I made a couple days ago.
Four of the most heinous designs imaginable imo. Flouro yellow and pale yellow don't go together very well as it is but adding another colour makes it even weirder.
Notwithstanding, most/all of those would fall foul of the Wimbledon dress code if Federer's shoes from this year were anything to go by compared to the retail colour-scheme.
Clearly "Wimbledon Men 1" was clearly inspired by the actual Wimbledon release, just my interpretation of it with some slight variations.
What is the Wimbledon dress code? I thought it allows "some" non-white colors right? Something ridiculous like 5% non-white color allowed?
#2 is not bad. The rest are hard on my retinas!
What do you guys think?
I think the simpler designs like yours are the ones which look best.
Too many people here seem to lack the eye for colour-matching. It's one thing to juxtapose ideas but, generally, less is more when it comes to creating aesthetically pleasing colour-schemes. An overbaked colour scheme is the first thing that turns people off items of clothing/footwear generally.
This for example would seem a far more pleasing Wimbledon-intended balance than most posted imo. It's simple as anything, but it wont date quickly and isn't visually antagonistic.
I think the hardest color to use is their "White Lime". It's very hard to pull off that color without turning the shoe into a bucket of primer paint.
Really nice one!

The biggest problem with the Geithner plan

assuming none of critics have hidden agendas nor are reflexive naysayers, doesn't the panaoply of flaws/criticisms elaborated both before and after yesterday by a host of serious thinkers (including you), most of which we have to assume the administration is aware of (nothwithstanding the disavowal of attention the the blogosphere) isn't it safe to conclude that this administration has concluded that the political cost of the failure of the plan is remote enough in time to be worthy of the risk?

You may have understood the actual goal in a previous post. As soon as a bank is in need of capital, the government says: Sell some assets.
Nationalization is just the natural consequence of a bank finding that selling assets is a non-viable solution to its problems.
- March 25, 2009 at 4:46 AM
I agree that the whole point of the Geithner Plan should be price discovery of assets. Banks continue to hide behind the "lack of liquidity" argument as an excuse not to mark down the value of toxic assets. A new $500b - $1 trillion market for these assets will eliminate this as a valid argument once and for all. Still, banks will not voluntarily sell assets if doing so renders them insolvent. A solution would be to force banks already benefiting from government guarantees on toxic assets (notably Citi and Bank of America) to sell the assets subject to the guarantees to the Funds through the auction process.
Other issues:
1. Price discovery will be tainted by government subsidies such as the low cost FDIC guaranteed funding. Although the FDIC will charge a fee for the guarantee, it would be unrealistic to assume this fee will be market based. The true market price will need to be adjusted to reflect the government subsidy.
2. Too much opportunity for both investors and banks to game the system. Any entity selling assets should not be allowed to participating as an investor. Otherwise highly toxic assets will be recycled with the taxpayer taking the majority loss. Further, Funds managers should be restricted from selling assets to affiliates.
3. I find it absurd that the Treasury will be paying management fees to Fund Managers on equity provided by the US taxpayer. The whole program gives Pimco/Blackrock/etc the right to make a small fortune. We almost had a class war over $165 million AIG bonuses. Lets see, a 1% annual management fee on $50 billion taxpayer equity for 5 years is $2.5 billion of fee income. Tell me this isn't happening.
- March 25, 2009 at 6:33 PM
I think that the conspiracy theories, while interesting, are not likely to play out. I can understand some of the motivation for these darker imaginings, because without some kind of conspiracy it's hard to see how this proposed plan can in itself rescue the banks. In fact, I think the more likely outcome is the more obvious one: this plan is not going to single-handedly rescue the banks. In fact it may have only a marginal effect on the solvency situation of the banks. Instead, I think it's main function will be to serve as a way for the government to dispose of troubled assets that it's forced to take on when taking insolvent banks into receivership. The terms and conditions for when and how a large bank will be taken into receivership are still somewhat fuzzy. So far it does not appear that this plan will be used as a mandatory method of price discovery. Instead it seems more likely that banks will be allowed to keep mis-marking their books, remain on life support, and hope to muddle through eventually, rebuilding capital through retained earnings.

The PPIP appears to me to rig the market so that the banks can appear solvent. I think the idea is to create a few high marks for banks to use for pricing their toxic assets, not for any meaningful purging of these assets from the banks. It would be like a public company giving out low interest non-recourse loans to anyone who would bid up their stock (using 6x margin). It probably will achieve the desired result in the short run. But it looks like a government sponsored pump-and-dump operation to me. And will probably have about the same effect in the long run as any pump-and-dump operation.

Boomerang Interior
As I have said before I have a 94 Boomerang, I have question about the seating. Is there supposed to be a seat across the back of the boat? Mine doesn't have one, but tonight I came across a couple of ads that show a rear seat in it. If you do have one, do you use it? I was thinking about adding seats there but after putting the boat in the water I was afraid that the people sitting there would get too wet. Any thoughts?
buddy has same boat. his came with the rear seat, which was nothing more than a foam pad wrapped in vinyl and set on the floor. he built up a wood storage bin underneath it-think it's around 4" tall, then placed the seat on top of that. it's a great place to sit as you can drag your hand in the water while underway with such a shallow freeboard. we only used it for getting out to the dock as once you start skiing, you can't sit there due to the rope and the riders cutting back and forth. never had an issue getting wet in most occasions, but if the lake was very choppy, some spray would make it in, but isn't that what we're on the water for'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
If I plan to get in and out of the water much then the rear seat stays home. If I plan to haul people then the seat stays in. I normally keep it out as I ski when I go out and the seat gets in the way, gets wet and dirty and takes up room.
Somewhere in your boat's history someone removed it and it was never replaced. Perhaps the boat seats needed redone and they opted to remove it rather than fix it.1998 Mobius

Hello .. Talk to me. This has been going on for far to long. It is a scam. So many crimals working in the upper management of this city. The City has been lost in space. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Do not waste your time with the citizens, they are being rip off and can't even figure it out. A class action law suit at the least. Remember very one has someone who owes some thing to someone who runs this city. It is the Toxic waste dunp of City management. If you are a crook or a hitler want to be and can not get a job any place else. Go to Palo Alto they will give you a job and millions to waste. You will also get paid very nicely to do so.

I cannot believe this. There are so may vipers at CPA. Are people that unhappy that they have to make other people miserable. Why can't people go to work and do their job. Instead the management of CPA is looking for someone to target & do not know what they are doing. It is a crying shame.

There is so much corruption happening every day from employees "of the people" that it is heart sickening. We pay dearly, in many ways, for these so called professionals that do not know, or choose to ignore laws and rules stated in their own city handbook. HARASSMENT IS ILLEGAL, and to take someone's career because he did not jump on the illegal bandwagon should be taken very seriously. All of us should just take a moment to realize what it would be like to be in "Brandon's position." If it can happen to him -- juust like the apparent paranoid feeling of the city employees -- what can prevent it from happening to you?
POWERS THAT BE -- OUT THERE -- GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING!!!!! We will be watching.

What a tragedy. I happen to know Brandon and I know how much he loved his job. If his driving record was an issue why wasn't it addressed while he was a temporary employee? Further, why would you offer him a permanent position if his reads were off? There is something that smells real funny here and residents need to take notice. I hope City Council Members read this and take action. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Yes the management of the CPA is full of vipers. It seems that to climb the ladder it is not how much you know but,how low you will go. Not how fair you will treat the people who work for you but,how fast and hard you will screw them over.If they whisper a word about how inept,incompetent,soulless and heartless the leaders of this City and its Departments are. If you look back in the past you will see that I am the one with the big mouth,telling you the citizens how corrupt this City is,how many illegal action and how much harrasment takes place.ie Ms Harrison's 3 week vacation. Brandon is not the only one in this position. It cost me my career. 20 years. Some say fight the City. How many of you have tens of thousands+++ of dollars to do this? Do you think Brandon has? This is the City that told me"It does not matter if you are right{legal} We are the City of Palo Alto we have more money,time,power and resources. We will break you" The money they use is the money the citizens are not or won't get for street repair,sewer repair,libraries and all the other programs that do not get funded or are cut.Yes you do pay dearly. Funny how Frank always gets his bonus? The powers to be are you the public.You are the ones who must stand up.One,two,three.One by one the #'s will grow. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Look at the first thing the Fire Cheif said when the City refused to lower the flags for the 2 Contra Costa Firefighters who lost there lives. ,"No comment& I play by the rules" Then after the citizens and the Firefighter from other City's start to reject what was going on. Remember "Spineless" He had time to see that he had put his foot in his mouth and how inept and heartless he looked. Then the City Counsel most likely told him that it was OK for him to say something. He went into damage control mode.Spineless = inept and incompetent,souless and corrupt.I have written proof of his illegal actions. At least Brandon's union is not as corrupt and powerless as the Firefighters union I belonged to while in the PAFD.His is saying something. Brandon,myself and so many other people/workers/citizens have been trying to reach you the public,for you are the ones who can do something. The only ones!! You must demanned you must make noise. Words such as'Oh well" come from people who have no courage to stand up and fight for what is right" They are the ones who close the curtains,then say I did not see or hear anything. People like this walk behind there bosses with there lips puckered up at waist level.

City employees attend countless classes on harrassment and violence in the workplace; yet, nothing sinks in. I think the problem is more about poor choices in promoting rank and file employees into management positions than it is about out of touch department heads. Most of these problems have festered for years. We are only witnessing their manifestations. Most city supervisors and managers are not college educated. Read the job descriptions for these positions.

BART explores a new fare increase
Original post made by common sense, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Feb 14, 2013
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

They are making an operating profit,
yet people who live in the suburbs, who pay more based on distance cannot ride because the free parking that was promised is not there.
Self Serving?
At the Dublin station BARTD sold the existing ground level parking to a developer.
They seem to think that the people who will live in the "instant slum" apartments there can ride BART, but will not have cars to park. The claim was since there was supposed to be a Livermore station, Dublin is NOT the end of the line.
They also promised voters the BARTD would go to Livermore, took the money to build
AND there'd be comfortable seats for all. Originally they left off the straps, now full of Strap hangers.

Once again BART is proposing raising fares while they just keep raising the wages and benefits of their employees. Given the caliber of most of these employees, their compensation is outrageous. Government is sucking the life out of cities, the state, and our nation.
a resident of Danbury Park

One thing that would help is if the Wheels bus would NOT leave just as the BARTD train comes in, forcing people who try to use it to wait 20 or 30 minutes for the next one. One reason most would rather drive. Not to mention the rude drivers.
And what's happening with the new more confusing No. 8?
- why doesn't it leave from the same place as the alternate: No. 10?

The parking wouldn't be such a huge issue if both BART stations weren't surrounded by businesses that will tow your car if you park there--and this includes the mall as well! One day, I was forced to park in one of the spaces on the very fringes of the mall parking lot, due to the fact that I was running behind, it was 8:00 and the permit parking wouldn't open up til 10:00, so I was stuck (although maybe I should've parked in the permit area and paid the fine-- I got towed and it set me back about $300!). I learned my lesson and I make sure to get there no later than 7:30, but you'd think that BART would get the hint and remedy the situation-- think of how many more customers they'd have.

We hit the sore spot with this subject. Over the last year, my wife and I lost multiple ticket reservations in SF due to the fact we could not park in the Dublin/Pleasanton or Stoneridge parking lots after 10am weekday. We have driven around for over an hour seeking a spot at both locations (how much fuel lost in this endeavor?). Ultimately, we gave up on more than one occasion. What a travesty!
We rarely use BART anymore, and suggest to our friends that unless public transit is available to them (which it isn't to many,including us), they just drive into the city. Our tax dollars at work?
What a shame such a noble cause as BART has been doomed by short sighted parking planning, or at the very least lack of better public transit.
Raise fares? What a classic knee jerk reaction to a self serving problem. Gee, maybe raise sales taxes while you are at it!!!

Griffin Leggett-Rest Hills funeral home said McCord died on Saturday.
McCord retired as an editor at the Arkansas Gazette prior to its acquisition by the Arkansas Democrat in 1992 and, for years, owned the North Little Rock Times.
McCord wrote a column for the weekly Arkansas Times from 1992 until 2006.
In an article posted at FOIArkansas.com, McCord noted that the Arkansas Constitution of 1874 gave legislators free rein to conduct business out of the public eye. The document said, "The sessions of each house and of committees of the whole shall be open unless when the business is such as ought to be kept secret."
Passage of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act in 1967 put an end to the practice, McCord wrote.
A federal version of the FOI passed in 1966 and gave the Arkansas chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (then known as Delta Sigma Chi) momentum in trying to get the Arkansas Legislature to pass its own version.
"The organization had only about 20 members and no money to spend on lawyers," McCord wrote. But the group picked up some free legal advice from advocates of open government and the group, with McCord helping, wrote a bill. The state's major newspapers and The Associated Press took part in the effort.
Republican Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, a reformer, backed the proposal.
"Amazingly," McCord wrote, "the bill passed without a dissenting vote — 91-0 in the House, 32-0 in the Senate."
Rockefeller signed the measure into law on Feb. 14, 1967.
It took about two months for the law to be challenged and McCord was in the middle of the fight.
After a North Little Rock City Council meeting, the panel gathered in Mayor Casey Laman's office to talk with the city attorney. Reporters from the Arkansas Gazette and from the North Little Rock Times objected, McCord recalled, and the matter landed in court.
The case, Laman vs. McCord, went all the way to the Arkansas Supreme Court, which unanimously upheld the new law.
The FOIA has been challenged dozens of times since then, McCord noted.
"Each time the court's decision has been in support of the principle of open government," McCord wrote.
In 2005, when legislators filed numerous bills that sought to weaken the FOIA, McCord was among a number of journalists calling for the measures to be blocked. He singled out chambers of commerce, chiefs of police, economic development professionals and the Arkansas Municipal League as most common among those trying to weaken the public's right to know.
McCord was national Society of Professional Journalists president in 1975-76.
Funeral services are pending with Griffin Leggett-Rest Hills.

Mahoney leads Sox to win with bat, not glove
O's prospect drives in four runs, commits four errors in AFL debut
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com
Not often, but it happens.
Mahoney overcame four miscues at first base by going 3-for-5 with four RBIs in his Arizona Fall League debut Saturday as the Mesa Solar Sox clobbered the first-place Surprise Saguaros, 14-3.
"First game under my belt," Mahoney said with a sigh. "I feel fortunate that the blunders I had in the field didn't affect the game."
Twins farmhand Cole DeVries (1-0) allowed one hit over four scoreless innings, but Mahoney made three errors in a five-batter span that produced a pair of unearned runs with White Sox right-hander Nevin Griffith on the mound in the fifth.
Mahoney, whose other miscue came in the second, missed Mesa's first 10 games due to a oblique injury. But that had no effect on his defensive struggles.
"It was one of those things. I made one [mistake] over there and got kind of jittery with the yips," he said. "I wasn't seeing the ball into the glove, got a few tough hops."
Mahoney committed 10 errors in 88 games during the regular season -- but never more than one in a game. He coupled that with a .294 batting average, 11 homers and 69 RBIs between Class A Advanced Frederick and Double-A Bowie.
At the plate, the Orioles' No. 3 prospect delivered an RBI single in the first, had another base hit in the third and cleared the bases with a double in the eighth.
"I was just looking for something over the plate to drive into the gap," said Mahoney, who is No. 76 because he was stuck with it during Spring Training. "I tried to forget what happened in the field. I know the plays had to be made, but you got to move on or baseball will eat you alive."
Pirates prospect Robbie Grossman (Pirates) led off the game with his third AFL homer, a shot to center field off Saguaros starter Shane Dyer (Rays).
The Solar Sox extended their lead in the fifth, thanks to a pair of Cubs prospects. Junior Lake doubled with two outs and scored on a single by D.J. LeMahieu.
Mesa pulled away with a five-run sixth, adding three runs in the eighth and three more in the ninth. The heart of the Solar Sox's lineup -- Brian Dozier (Twins), Lake, LeMahieu and Mahoney -- combined 12 hits, 10 RBIs and eight runs scored.
DeVries struck out five, allowed only a first-inning double to Paul Gran (Marlins) while throwing 54 pitches. Dyer (1-1) was charged with two runs on six hits over four frames. He struck out two and walked one.
Todd Cunningham (Braves) had the Saguaros' lone RBI with an eighth-inning single.
