That's pretty sad. I used to go to this cafe often when I lived in the area, and I just went back to visit about two weeks ago.

Unfortunately, there will probably be a lot more companies going out of business and a lot more unemployed workers before this recession is over.

This was like "The day the coffee died" for me and several of my friends and neighbors whom I had met at La Creme. We were among the group you'd see in the early mornings every weekday or the ones lingering for hours on weekend mornings. First off, no one made a better soy latte. The roasted beans were perfect which made the coffee strong but not biter. I recall when La Creme first appeared on the corner of Middlefield and Loma Verde when all of Midtown and South Palo Alto must have called the fire department one too many times about the smell of smoke until we came to know the regular roasting schedule and enjoyed the familiarity of a homey-bohemeian new business on an otherwise abandoned spot. It is from La Creme that I now have some of my new best friends who were simply friendly neighbors who enjoyed good conversation. We have Palo Alto Cafe, Peets and Cafe Sophia nearby and the corporate one who shall not be named. I would like anyone who cares about our neighborhoods to continue to support the small local businesses; it is what makes up the character of our town. Through the years, as much as I loved it, it became a bit of a dive. A Boheme-dive, but it was OUR Bohene-dive. Thanks to everyone who supported it to its dying day; I will miss seeing you all there (and your little dogs too.)

I just put an espresso machine on my Christmas list. I have been to La Creme almost every day for years. My kids have practically grown up there, and our previous dog spent many minutes waiting for me outside the door (the new one was just getting the hang of the routine). I made many friends, both behind the counter and customers -- all ages and stages. I'll miss my morning ritual and all the friendly faces.
Thanks to the many people (and 4-legged companions) who made La Creme part of my day for so many years: Davide, Alex, Adam, Harley, Dobin, Mike, Hayley, Marina, Hana, Giancarlo, Chiara, Grace, Alex, Carolyn, the many friendly faces whose names I didn't know, Stella, Ann, Bill, Tom, Jeff, big-headphones/bike guy, Eleanor, Judy, Nancy, Ann, Elyse, Alice, Maria, D.O.G., Georgie, Glen and daughters, Malcolm. . . I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

Oh. No. La Creme is where I'd toddle my then-baby daughter, sit her on the counter, and she'd politely request "Whipped cream, please." On Christmas, we'd take a break from opening presents and truck over in our PJs and get our coffees (and hot cocoa.)
La Creme is where my son works on his fear of dogs (thanks, DOG!), and where the girls get together. The folks who worked there were (and are) awesome, making us feel at home.
This neighborhood establishment will truly be missed by my whole family.

I lovcd this place and will miss it terribly. Sure, it wasn't exactly spotless, the floor was warped, the chairs inside were all either rickety or riddled with stains, houseflies danced in airborne circles all summer nearby while you waited in line, there seemed to be no heat or AC, cigarette smoke constantly wafted in from the outside, anyone over 5'6" tall had to duck under a wall hanging to get through the doorway leading to the bathroom and yes, there may have been a slight scent of raw sewage in the air around certain seats, but these factors all (except maybe the sewage smell) contributed to La Creme's charms.
I also loved that La Creme's clientele consisted almost entirely of people either under 25 or over 70. I guess when you're young you don't care about all the abovementioned shortcomings, and when you're old you don't notice.
As Jane noted, while the staff was subject to frequent turnover, La Creme always attracted great people behind the counter, folks who might not be as comfortable in a more corporate environment. They were always friendly, engaging and conscientious, and never gave me too much of a hard time when I interrupted their smoke breaks to ask for service.
I will hold on to my coffee card in the hopes, however small, that La Creme will open up for business again and I can claim my remaining cups of coffee. Otherwise, I will be saddened every time I pass by but still fondly recall the many hours I enjoyed while seated at the big table inside either working at the computer, drinking coffee or chatting with the dozens of staff members and fellow customers I've had the pleasure to meet over the years. Thanks so much - I'm sorry it had to end.

I had been a La Creme's customer since we moved to Mid Town in 1992. I like having a good coffee shop within walking distance to my house.
However, around 6-12 months ago something changed and the quality of the espresso went downhill. I tried it a few more times and stopped going there. In hindsight, I don't remember the smell of roasting coffee in the neighborhood either recently. I suspect there was a change of management or owners that cut back on the quality.
I hope something good replaces it. I had been a loyal customer and would like to see another local coffee shop replace it.

I must be missing something. I tried Creme de Cafe several times over the last couple years since moving into the neighborhood and I was consistently given terrible coffee by rude, wannabe hippies. I can see thinking it'd be a cool place to hang out when I was 15, but now I'd much prefer quality and service. I'm hoping another shop moves in and becomes the neighborhood coffee shop I long to patronize.

Note to b.e.b: why don't you go to Starbucks where you apparently belong? I believe it's wannabe-hippy free and you can lick the floors there. Or perhaps you are just too cool for Starbucks? Creme de Cafe was a coffee shop with heart and soul and will be missed. They had the best quality coffee in midtown and the people you called "rude wannabe hippies" always gave us samples and were consistently kind and considerate. Our family is sad to see this place close.

Thre are enough carbon copy coffee shops in Palo Alto. This one was different. The coffee and tea were good and they were served in mugs, not paper cups.
Down with paper cups that make the coffee and tea taste of wax!! And down with plastic mugs that make the coffee and tea taste of plastic!! Give me china cups and pottery mugs everytime.

Well it's been little over 24 hrs since I first posted on this and find that the 'word on the street' is that there is true greiving going on. We lost friends and our place of belonging. When some comment about corporations, I want to point something out that I have only heard faint hints about the owners of La Creme and the fact that they moved outside of the U.S. and never took care of the business after they left town. The reasons are moot. Owning a business that you do not oversee on a regular basis is an insult to the community. The demise and lack of business was brought on by lack of living with the day to day of the business and looking your customers in the eyes. That is a business ethics issue. It was clear when they started out that they brought us to them by quality coffee, friendliness and welcoming rememberances of our names and favorite drinks. It was a feeling of affection that brought back customer loyalty. The illicit cat in a food/beverage establishment kept us all in the sly together and strengthened the bond of customer and businessmen. It really was a brilliant although unintended/non-deliberate bonding strategy. When the Harley story went national well then we all became master storytellers. We were there.

I used to walk there. It was a ritual, especially when I visited the dry cleaners.
For a long time scratching Harley behind the ears was a daily mission. I was devastated when he died.
Le Creme was a Midtown institution.
One more sad commentary on the independent and small business owner's struggle.
a resident of Midtown

Hi JIM,
I'll attribute your rudeness to the pain you're feeling after losing a business you loved. I can certainly appreciate where you're coming from. If you actually read what I said, I *do* want a non-Starbucks coffee shop near my house, and the Creme de Cafe location would be perfect. I grew up with wonderful local coffee shops surrounding me, where I could get excellent coffee in a mug and have great conversations with the employees and regulars. And the employees, were *actual* hippies, so trust me, I'm not poopooing free spirits. ;) I'm glad you were treated so well at Le Creme. I'm saying I never was, not once, and I gave it half a dozen tries. The coffee was terrible to boot. I find the selection of local coffee places in this area (the Peninsula in general, not just Midtown Palo Alto) pretty pathetic, so I was more than thrilled to be close to both Le Creme, and then subsequently disappointed with the reality of the place. And I think you're projecting -- I never once commented on the cleanliness of Le Creme, or did I express a desire to lick any floors.
I hope you're having a better day today.
a resident of Midtown
on Nov 3, 2008 at 9:22 am
As many here have pointed out, La Creme was definitely a Midtown institution. The staff were always kind to me, and I liked the fact that I had my own latte card and Tristan had his own dog-treat card. We walked there most every morning--there was something wonderful to me about seeing the same people every morning either jogging/walking with their dogs, or jogging/walking/biking solo, exchanging pleasantries and small talk with them, and so on. Because of my work schedule, I could only say hi to the "regulars" at Le Creme during the week, but I loved sitting with everyone on the weekends: whether the topic du jour was earth-shatteringly important or utterly trivial, everyone gave it their full attention! I understand things change and these sorts of things happen; still, I'm deeply saddened that Le Creme has gone. I really do think it was very special. Certainly I could be accused of being biased, but a friend who visited several years ago from Wisconsin loved Le Creme, and felt it was very special, too. When Harley died, she sent a few memorial items which remained on "Harley's shelf" at Le Creme. I will always remember the cafe with great fondness.

I used to go there when it was Rich Made Donuts in the 60's. If I was younger with more energy, I'd lease the place and have 5 items on the menu:
Hash browns (the real hash browns)
Orange Juice and
Each item would be the absolute BEST. It would be so good that I'd have to get a special permit to have side walk tables going 2 blocks down Loma Verde.

The owners of the store need to be tracked down and prosecuted for theft, if it is true that they own $14K back rent and utilities.
This is theft and no matter what a great coffee place it was, it does not excuse criminal behavior.

This was the best coffeehouse in Palo Alto, with good coffee, friendly staff, nice pastries, and good deals on the day-olds. It will be very sorely missed.
Though Andy's idea above is perfect. Sadly, it would be likely impossible due to greedy landlords and the resulting high rents ...

Hey 'Tall size' and others who wish for a peets or starbucks in place of Creme de Cafe, be careful what you wish for. The logical outcome is a world bereft of individuality, in particular, of the quirky local places that give a neighborhood its character, and its denizens a sense of place. I guess you prefer home despot to real hardware stores, and costco to most anyplace, and couldnt care less that there are almost no independent drug stores left.
Tho I have moved away from midtown, my car still tugs me to this cafe when I pass by.
a resident of Barron Park
on Nov 3, 2008 at 5:26 pm
You are right, Mose, I do prefer Home Depot (or actually OSH) to most local hardware places. I went to the midtown hardware store to buy a fluorescent bulb a few weeks back; I laughed when they told me $9 and got it the next day at OSH for $5. On the other hand, I will shop at Barron Park Supply for plumbing parts if I need help, since they are so knowledgeable there and have very deep inventory.
As for Costco, I have trouble shopping there (too chaotic for me) though I find many people like the prices.
Quirky stores are nice, but not at such a steep price. Frankly I find the character of neighborhood comes more from its residents than its retailers. People should shop where they like, and let the retailers compete to serve them best.

I liked the staff at the cafe,
I did not like the drug users and what looked like dealers who would hang out outside, you could smell the smoked drugs every afternoon, a very bad example for kids on their way back from school.
This drug matter was obviously tolerated by the owners,
I reported it to the staff many time and asked them to get the owners to do something, no action was taken, I should have called the PAPD.

To the non believers:
There were those who understood what La Creme stood for and those who could never get it. This place took me in and it loved me, despite the challenges. These were my friends, my soul mates, the very few free spirited, anti-Starbucks elite left in Palo Alto today. This was my home, and if you could look past its tattered exterior, you could see it's history, feel the significance, the way it touched so many lives. It wasn't the coffee that brought us together, it was our commonality, the quirk in us all. Come all outcastes, come the abandoned, come the irritated, the old, the depressed, the hungry, the poor, come those who could not belong at home or at work or at school or in life. Because here is where you belonged. Here you are welcomed. Here is so many faces I will never forget, who excepted me, despite the fact I was a cat in a coffee shop. Despite that I pranced around this place where you purchased your food and drink, I was welcomed and loved, as was everyone.
If you don't get it you don't get it. And too many didn't get it. And that's why La Crème now joins me, Harley, in the world beyond. But friends, we will meet again. Around a latte, or a cup of joe, and I will bask in the sun while you scratch behind my ear and I ease drop on your discussions and debates of the world, and politics and life. And we will laugh at the neigh-sayers. Until then, goodbye friends….

OK, I'm seriously considering planning a "wake" gathering outside La Creme for all the regulars, occasionals, and the many workers recent and not-so-recent to say goodbye to a slice of our neighborhood. I envision us sharing some baked goods (potluck-style) and raising our empty coffee cups to fond memories, warm conversations, much-needed caffeine, and the ever-changing, quirky place that was La Creme.
Who's in? Weekday morning or weekend morning?
Post here or email LaCremeWake at gmail dot com and email to your La Creme friends to do the same.

A lot of these places under report their earnings; depriving our county, state, and federal government taxes. I know a tiny restaurant that makes 4 thousand just during lunch and report that they make less than 400 a day.
In one restuarant in Cupertino, we were told that they would accept cash only. No way to trace how much money is made. This place was packed on a mid-day on Saturday. It was clear that they could easily make over 10,000 a day.
We refuse to spend our money at these kinds of mom and pop places that grossly under report their earnings.
The tax board does not have enough staff to investigate each of these little places that are suspect. It is a huge loss to federal revenue too.
If you patronize one of these places you are contributing to their wealth - often at the expense of underpaid undocumented workers.
Many owners of these establishments have homes in other countries and launder money.
I don't know if this was the case here, but it is the case with many of these little restaurants and businesses.
This is a nationwide problem.
a resident of another community
on Nov 6, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Resident - how do you know that the businesses you boycott are evading taxes? Rumor? Stereotype? Or are you actually privy to their tax filings? If you KNOW something, then of course you are right to avoid patronizing them. But there are small business owners (like me) who report every penny, but most of us are profoundly struggling in these difficult economic times. While my business does accept credit cards, we pay a high price to the banks for doing so. I can understand a small business not accepting credit in effort to keep their costs down to their customers. But the fact that they do not, does not in and of itself mean that they are not reporting all of their income. While it is fair and right to patronize businesses that earn your business with great products and services, it is absolutely unfair to the rest of us to jump to conclusions about all small businesses based on rumors or assumptions about other(s).
Even under the best economic circumstances, it is difficult for us to compete for customers with the big chains. Not only do they procure the lowest prices on products that they sell you at HUGE profit, but they are able to write their own leases and push out budding entrepreneurs from their own communities. Small businesses, on the other hand, have the opportunity to get to know their neighbors in a very personal way and give back to their communities, and as so many mentioned in this blog, they ABSOLUTELY give neighborhoods character and bring people together.
Hats off to La Creme for it's long and fascinating history and for the mark it made in Midtown. My condolences to the gang who will miss it - - hopefully you will not have to succumb to the big chain in your quest for a good cup and some good conversation.
And by the way, anyone who wants a great cup of coffee roasted by one of La Creme's former roasters from way back when, (and a great place to hang out) go see Nima at Clocktower Coffee in Mountain View.
a resident of Midtown
on Nov 6, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I think that the neighbors - those who were regular customers of La Creme, and those who occasionally stopped by - should try to organize a new lease and new management for the cafe. The location is ideal, the parking ample, outdoor seating plus the nearby deli for a sandwich lunch, make the place a really popular hang-out; it has much, much more appeal, atmosphere and just plain sunshine than any of the other local cafes. It could be a perfectly viable business, if run properly by someone with initiative and a good work ethic. It could be cleaned up, made a bit more attractive, and run more efficiently while still keeping its laid-back charm. We should try contacting the owners in Italy, and see what could be done. How about it, everybody? Shouldn't we try to do something to save our nice cafe corner?
a resident of Midtown
on Nov 7, 2008 at 10:02 pm
They owe too much $$$ you would not want to buy into a bad business. Better to start you own. I hear the landlord at that entire corner there is not doing much towards routine upkeep either.
1)Crabby staff and the liquor store
2)Deli is so-so but could work to keep the outdoor area cleaner.
3)Laundromat has broken machines.
4)Dry cleaners are very nice and I like that they switched to the non chemical cleaning process.
5)La creme would be very viable if someone had the $ to upgrade the floor, plumbing, deck patio overhangs and light fixtures, appliances, seating, landscaping and the horrible painting on the building.

Ok, here is is December now and there just is not as good a coffee place around. No better coffee in the first place, no better amount of outdoor seating.... the lament goes on.... but I found a bag of La Creme beans in my freezer! Gold.
We can all do better to not spend 3 to 4 + $ on a stupid cup of coffee and maybe this really came at a good time to force us to save. It's also about the place in general, the central hang out with enough seating outdoors. Maybe we need a kiosk at the duck pond. Now, there's a happy place.

Wow, Great News. La Creme is coming back, won't be called La Creme, it will be Philz Coffee Shop, they own three in San Francisco and one will open in San Jose and our old location. You can check it out at Philz Coffee, San Francisco. I wrote to Phil and he got back to me and said he is very excited and expects to be open in one to two months, and he wants it to be very homey and friendly, etc. He sounds like quite an interesting man.

a resident of Palo Verde
on Jan 13, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Julian (and everyone),
I emailed Philz last week and got an almost-immediate, lovely response. I welcomed them to the neighborhood and made a suggestion that they reach out to the La Creme employees. They (Phil?) replied that some of the La Creme staff had already reached out to _them_, so they're in contact.
Another friend of mine also emailed them, suggesting they carry some vegan things. Again, the response was quick, friendly, and informative. They do carry vegan items (including donuts).
The phoenix rises. . .
Anyone know what happened to the Harley statue that was in the planter area with the rosebushes? Hope someone's keeping it and that it didn't get tossed.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Sorry you missed the "wake", Julian.

I could not find any better topic to ask this. This question is generic and not only related to C programming. If it is not suited to this forum please feel free to remove it.
My question is related to which programming language compilers are programmed. I mean, Is a GCC programmed in assembly? Or ForTram? How about C++ compilers, are they programmed in C, or a lower level programming language. Usually a high level programming language as Java, C# is programmed in C++? Is there any common sense about this, or is it completely random?
Let me know if i was kind confusing.

I have 2 computers linked (seperately) to Siemens ADSL SL2-141 router.(both computers running XP pro)
Without ZA, the network between this computers works well, but with ZA (free version) on, you can't see or share files with other computers.
I tried adding the computers' IP addresses (10.0.0.x) to the trusted zone, or adding my network card (in Firewall ->menu tab) to the the trusted zone, but with no success.
I've been told to open port 139 for incoming traffic, but I didn't find the "custom" button in Firewall->main tab that was suppose to enable doing this.
What can I do to make this network work without having to shutdown ZA??

Griffey Jr. announces his retirement
Mariners star ends career after 630 career home runs
By Jim Street / MLB.com
That's when the Hall of Fame doors will surely open for one of the best players of all-time.
"Jack, Chuck and I are going to be standing with tears in our eyes when we see Kenny inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown," said Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln on Wednesday afternoon.
Junior calls it a careerComplete coverage
There were no tears, but a lot of appreciation, coming from Lincoln, club president Chuck Armstrong and general manager Jack Zduriencik as they stood near the home dugout at Safeco Field discussing Griffey's decision to end a 21-plus year Major League career.
Griffey did not make himself available to the media, expressing his thoughts through a statement released by the organization almost three hours before the Mariners played the Twins.
"I've come to a decision today to retire from Major League Baseball as an active player," Griffey said in the statement. "This has been on my mind recently, but it's not an easy decision to come by. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to play Major League Baseball for so long and thankful for all the friendships I have made, while also being proud of my accomplishments."
Griffey ended his career with 630 home runs, fifth-highest in MLB history, 10 Gold Gloves, one Most Valuable Player Award -- but no World Series appearances.
"My hope is that my teammates can focus on baseball and win a championship for themselves and for the great fans of Seattle, who so much deserve one," the last of the four-paragraph statement said.
A championship this season appears unlikely as the Mariners went into Wednesday's game with a 20-31 record and in last place in the AL West, eight games behind the Athletics.
Griffey batted .184 (18-for-98) with no home runs and seven RBIs this season as the designated hitter and had just one at-bat in the Mariners' past seven games, grounding into a fielder's choice in the ninth-inning pinch-hit appearance on Monday night.
His final hit at Safeco Field came on May 20, a walk-off pinch-hit single in the ninth that gave the Mariners a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays.
But his overall lack of production, reduction in playing time and a recent flap over a clubhouse nap during a game apparently were the major factors in Griffey calling it quits.
"While I feel I am still able to make a contribution on the field, and nobody in the front office asked me to retire, I told the Mariners when I met with them prior to the 2009 season and was invited back, that I will never allow myself to become a distraction," Griffey said in the statement. "I feel that without enough occasional starts to be sharper coming off the bench, my continued presence as a player would be an unfair distraction to my teammates, and their success as a team is what the ultimate goal should be."
Armstrong, who has been a loyal fan and backer of Griffey throughout Junior's career, said he had been talking to the franchise icon and his agent, Brian Goldberg, for the past several days.
"I was surprised by the swiftness of Kenny's decision," said Armstrong, who received a phone call from Goldberg on Wednesday morning, and talked to Griffey later in the day.
He said Griffey "is at peace" with the decision.

"It's very difficult with the lack of playing time and the way the situation ended up, but there's so much respect for Junior in this clubhouse," manager Don Wakamatsu said. "It's a tough day to swallow the fact that you're losing a guy from the game that's been a legend and maybe one of the greatest players who's ever played the game."
It was not immediately known when Griffey would return to Safeco Field to either meet the media for a farewell press conference or on the field to personally thank the fans, which he did in the statement: "Thanks to all of you for welcoming me back, and thanks again to everyone over the years that has played a part in the success of my career."
Zduriencik was not familiar with Griffey's impact on Mariners baseball in Seattle but became acutely aware of his popularity.
"We thank him for what he did. His contributions were tremendous. What he meant to the club last year, all the fun he had in the clubhouse, and the way he contributed on the field. He's a class person.
"It is rare in this game when you get an opportunity to reunite a player and a team. We feel honored that Ken was able to end his career where it began, here in Seattle."
The first overall pick in the 1987 First-Year Player Draft, Griffey played his first 11 seasons with Seattle, before spending the next eight and half with the Reds. He played a brief stint with the White Sox in the second half of the 2008 season, before returning home to the Mariners prior to last season, when he batted .213, hit 19 home runs and drove in 57 runs.
But he meant more than numbers.
He and fellow veteran Mike Sweeney completely changed the clubhouse atmosphere with their leadership. Their influence played a huge role in the Mariners having a MLB-best 24-game improvement in the win-loss department.
More of the same was expected this season, but it never happened.
"I don't think we contemplated this," Zduriencik said. "What we hoped for was that this would be a good year for everybody, Kenny and for the ballclub. We've had our bumps this year."
Even so, there were no regrets bringing Griffey back in the first place.
"We are extremely appreciative of everything Ken has meant to this organization and to the city," Zduriencik said. "It's an end of an era. He is a sensational, tremendous baseball player, a great person and I feel honored to have been around Ken for a year and half.
"You get to the point in every superstar's career when it kind of winds down. Ken has made the decision that this is the time and we support him 100 percent. If there is anything the Seattle Mariners can do for Ken Griffey and his family, we're there for him."
Fans attending Wednesday night's game were informed of Griffey's decision prior to the first pitch and the grounds crew put Griffey's No. 24 in sand behind second base.
"This is a tough day for the people of our community who have loved Ken, admired him as a tremendous baseball player and a great human being," Lincoln said. "It's always tough for great superstars like Ken or anyone else to make a decision to retire.
"This has been his life for so many years, but he has made his decision. We certainly support it and we will honor him in every way possible."

Heritage defends Romney tax plan
A conservative think tank is lambasting a much-cited analysis by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center that predicted Mitt Romney's revenue plan would cut taxes for the rich while raising them on the middle class.
A Heritage Foundation report released today calls the TPC study — which has been modified since it was first released — "biased" and "erroneous," and said the plan would avoid tax increases on people earning less than $200,000 if different assumptions are used.
Story Continued Below
The Heritage analysis represents the latest tussle between Washington tax wonks about how the Romney plan would affect the average American — a debate that's likely to continue so long as the candidate remains vague about his tax blueprint.
The former Massachusetts governor wants to trim all income tax rates by 20 percent and eliminate an inheritance tax on the heirs of multimillion dollar estates, a plan the TPC says will cost $360 billion.
Romney says he'd pay for it by scaling back deductions and credits. But the Center in August questioned Romney's math. Even after eliminating deductions and credits, starting with those for top-earners, the plan would shift $86 billion worth of levies from high-income filers to middle class- and poor-families, the TPC analysis predicted.
The Center tweaked its findings, later reducing the predicted tax shift to $41 billion after the Romney campaign said the study incorrectly assumed tax breaks on life insurance and municipal bond interest, which normally apply to wealthier folks, were "off the table."
Still, TPC maintained that the "gap" in Romney's plan was an issue.
But the Heritage report released this morning, written by tax analyst Curtis S. Dubay, says the Romney plan could be implemented without shifting even a single penny of the burden to the middle class and poor.
Assuming Romney can repeal the estate tax like he says he wants to, Dubay predicts the government could bring in an additional $19 billion by eliminating the "step-up in basis" rule. Under current law, the rule effectively awards a capital gains tax break to estate heirs who paid the estate tax - labeled the "death tax" years ago by conservatives - then sold their inherited homes.
"Keeping step-up in place after eliminating the death tax would mean that some of the value of inherited assets escapes taxation," Dubay writes. "There is no economic justification for keeping it in place after death tax repeal."
Dubay also adds that Romney could cover the remaining cost of his plan — an estimated $22 billion — by limiting itemized deductions and personal tax exemptions for the rich. He cited President Obama's fiscal 2013 budget, for example, which would raise well over $22 billion in revenues by enacting such limits on deductions for those making more than $250,000.
William G. Gale, one of the authors of the TPC report, counters that his study's findings already assume all itemized deductions would be eliminated.
"Placing a cap on a deduction that is already set to zero is not going to raise any revenue," said Gale, who served on President George H. W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, in response to the Heritage report this afternoon.
Gale argues that the Heritage paper adds to the tax policy conversation but doesn't discredit the TPC study's argument.
"I don't find it to be contradictory to our paper, but rather an elaboration," Gale said. "It is certainly not inconsistent with our results."

But there won't be any parades, pomp or circumstance. It will be just another day at the Big Red Drive-In for the employees and owner Jo Ann Scott.
The restaurant will still offer its traditional favorites — burgers, fries, chicken fried steak, catfish — along with a few new additions to the menu — jalapeno poppers, fried green beans and catfish curls, among others.
But the formula for success for this family has worked from day one and continues today — keep it simple. Offer simple menu items in a simple environment and maintain a simple loving, family relationship with the employees and customers who keep coming back — even when they move out of the area or state.
And, of course, those who make up the Big Red Table. They include Tommy, David, Harl, Rocky, Phil and Gerald, just to name a few. And they may make some fireworks on the 50th anniversary.
"I have to remind them to use their inside voices," Scott mused. "They come here to eat and drink coffee and dish it out. But they find out real quick I can dish it right back to them. Then we've got the ones who have been coming in for so long, that we have lost."
She mentions a few names, adding she could always count on hugs and kisses from a favorite patron.
"A very sweet lady," she explained. "I miss those. And we have the kids who still come in from when the (Gardner) junior high was over here, and they're coming in with their kids, which are adult teenagers now. And they're still coming in. That's what 50 years means."
Scott's parents, Keith and the late Anna Williams, opened a Tastee Freez on East Fourth Street on Feb. 19, 1964. They became independent in 1971 and moved to the current location of the Drive-In, at the corner of 16th Street and South Arkansas Avenue. It used to be a gas station in the 1940s, Scott said she recently discovered.
"When we worked at the Tastee Freez, I was 8 or 9 years old, I once rearranged the coins by size. I never did it again," she pointed out. "We would close up Tastee Freez, and mom and dad would go to Old South. I would be in the car asleep. I'd wake up, get a soda or something, and go back to sleep.
"It was no big deal. That's just the way it used to be. We didn't even lock our doors, unless we were going out of town. That's how much times have changed."
But things are still kept simple at the Big Red Drive-In, and for a good reason.
"If you've got something good going, don't mess it up," Scott said. "I'm not going to change anything. If it's a good thing, don't mess with it. I love all my customers. Every now and then, I could wring a few necks at the Big Red Table — God love em.
"One family who moved to Florida come back when they come to Russellville, because they want my chicken. Another comes in from Texas for a family reunion, they come in here. This is the way it's gone on since I moved back here in 1990. The kids and people who come in, I've known since grade school, high school, and now they're bringing their families." Scott pointed to an article framed on the restaurant wall about the drive-in's 40th anniversary a decade ago. It mentioned the hours and hard work the family put in to keep everything simple, but still a success.
"That is very true," she said. "Now we're only six days a week and close at 7 o'clock these days. It's hard, not as easy as it used to be. Still, it's a job and I do love it. It's in my blood." Family also includes the employees of the Big Red Drive-In. Pat has worked at the drive-in for at least 17 years. Cory has worked there two years. Saleena, almost a year. Mary Ann, probably five years, and Jessica, almost six years.
"Those girls think I'm their mother. I've known Jessica since she was 5 years old," Scott noted. "I love every one of them. We back each other up. We may fight, but when times are tough, we are together as glue.
"We're still family. If one of us needs something, we're there for each other. That is what family is about. That's just the way it is. That's the way all businesses should be. It's not about the business. It's not about the money. It's about people caring for each other."
It's just 50 years, Scott said, trying to keep the anniversary simple and low-key. But it's no simple feat to not only stay in business for five decades and counting, but to treat all the people who have made Big Red Drive-In what it is today, a part of the family.
"I have some that will come in who haven't been here in years and say, 'You're still here. Wow.' Well, we'll be here until I say ... It means a whole lot. Nobody can do everything right, but we do try to take care of our people."

It was an election year, of course, and the year in which the Olympics returned to their native home. But more importantly -- for concerned Missourians, at least -- it was also the year in which the Cardinals found a way to overcome a postseason walk-off hit -- one that put them on the brink of elimination -- and advance to the next round.
So to answer everyone's first question, yes, it has happened here in the Gateway City before. Now, an '09 Cardinals team that has two holdovers -- Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina -- from that '04 National League championship club will have to rally from a similar deficit if it doesn't want its next game to be in Grapefruit League play.
"Obviously our backs are against the wall," said Ryan Ludwick. "The positive that you take out of it is that we have won three games in a row numerous times this year. We know we can do it."
That '04 Cardinals team rebounded from Jeff Kent's walk-off home run in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series against the Astros to take the two must-win games that followed.
Mark Loretta's walk-off single in Thursday's 3-2 Game 2 loss has the Dodgers sitting nicely with a 2-0 lead in a best-of-five Division Series. There's no skirting around what that means for the Cardinals. St. Louis has to win each of its next three games, beginning with Game 3 at Busch Stadium on Saturday, to avoid going home.
"I've been in a ton of these scenarios where you have one game to win or you go home and you put all of your efforts into winning that game," said John Smoltz, a 14-year postseason veteran. "There's only one thing you can do and that's think about that game and be as positive as you can and move forward."
|1995 ALDS: Jim Leyritz (NYY) had walk-off hit in Game 2; Seattle wins series, 3-2
|1998 NLDS: Bill Spiers (HOU) had walk-off hit in Game 2; San Diego wins series, 3-1
|1999 ALDS: Travis Fryman (CLE) had walk-off hit in Game 1; Boston wins series, 3-2
|2003 ALDS: Ramon Hernandez (OAK) had walk-off hit in Game 1; Boston wins series, 3-2
|2004 NLDS: Rafael Furcal (ATL) had walk-off hit in Game 2; Houston wins series, 3-2
As it concerns Division Series history, five times a team has endured the heartbreak of a walk-off loss before coming back and stealing a series win. Twice it's happened with NL teams, most recently with Houston's '04 series win over Atlanta. San Diego did it in 1998.
However, no NL team has ever emerged from an 0-2 NLDS deficit to extend its postseason life.
Now, the Cardinals are charged with the challenge of doing both.
"All we can do is concentrate on [Game 3] and forget [Game 2]," said Mark DeRosa, who is hoping to avoid being swept out of the NLDS for a second consecutive year. "It was one of the more devastating losses that I've ever been a part of, but on to the next game. We just have to find a way to win a game and put the pressure back on their shoulders."
Cardinals infielder Julio Lugo knows a little something about pulling out victories in three consecutive must-win games. He was on the 2007 Red Sox club that stunned the Indians when it climbed out of a 1-3 ALCS deficit and then marched its way to a World Series championship.
The key, Lugo emphasized as the Cardinals gathered for a rained-out workout at Busch Stadium on Friday, is that the focus has to remain narrow. Essentially, there's little need to worry about Games 4 and 5 unless Saturday's Game 3 can be won first.
0-2 Division Series deficits
|Red Sox
|Red Sox
"That's how you have to do it," Lugo said. "Both teams are very similar. We are very competitive and we have a lot of people with a lot of character here. I think we are in the same spot. We have a lot of talent, a lot of tough people. I think we can do it."
If there's a bright spot to be found in falling behind 0-2 in a span of 24 hours, it's that the Cardinals have not been overmatched in the process. St. Louis has actually outhit Los Angeles and has been outscored only by a combined three runs.
That, in essence, is the message Cardinals manager Tony La Russa offered his club on Friday. The team is obviously not in an enviable position. But as quickly as the Cardinals fell this far, they feel they can just as rapidly rise back up.
"We're still alive," La Russa said. "I'd rather not get beat, clearly. But I'd rather get your heart broken than be eliminated. I've said it over and over again -- and every time I say it they keep showing it -- this is a very tough-minded club."

Kershaw placed on bereavement list after father's death
By Ken Gurnick and Austin Laymance / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was placed on the bereavement list on Monday, and on Tuesday it was revealed it was because of the death of his father in Texas.
Kershaw is expected to return to California in time to fly with the Dodgers to San Francisco on Thursday.
Kershaw, coming off a 12-strikeout win over Milwaukee, is scheduled to start Friday night against the Giants.
The Dodgers will need to make a roster move to activate Kershaw and might disable infielder Mark Ellis, who strained his right quad Friday night.
Lilly to rest after receiving injection in rib cage
LOS ANGELES -- Ted Lilly is not returning to the disabled list just yet.
Lilly received an injection in his right rib cage on Tuesday after experiencing discomfort during his start on Monday against the Rockies. The left-hander will not throw for two days and will then be re-evaluated.
Lilly allowed five runs on eight hits in three innings during Monday's 12-2 loss. The veteran said he felt tightness in his back and neck during the first inning.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said management didn't know Lilly was experiencing discomfort until after Monday's game. The manager would have preferred to know about Lilly's health in advance to allow the club to plan accordingly. The Dodgers used four relievers over five innings before second baseman Skip Schumaker pitched a scoreless ninth.
"That's fine that he feels it, but he's got to let somebody know," Mattingly said before Tuesday's game against the Rockies. "Then at least we know when we go into the game that we possibly should have a guy here that can go four or five innings. He can't just keep that to himself. He hasn't been getting any treatment for it. They've been working on his neck, but that's kind of an ongoing thing with Teddy."
Lilly's neck was an issue in 2012 and he began the season on the disabled list because of it. He returned and won his first five decisions, but injured his shoulder and required season-ending surgery. Lilly started this year on the disabled list and returned to pitch five innings last Wednesday against the Mets, allowing one run. He said he started to feel the neck on Thursday and again while warming up before Monday's start.
Mattingly said Lilly's rib and neck issues are not related, but added the lefty has experienced rib issues occasionally during the past year.
"The injection in the past has taken care of it," the manager said Tuesday night after the Dodgers beat the Rockies, 6-2. "He's got a couple days off and we'll see where he's at."
If Lilly is unable to make his scheduled start Saturday at San Francisco, Matt Magill is likely to replace him. In his Major League debut last Saturday, Magill allowed two runs on four hits with seven strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
"That's the logical thing for us to do," Mattingly said.
Crawford scratched from lineup with tight hamstring
LOS ANGELES -- Carl Crawford was scratched from Tuesday's lineup after taking batting practice, the result of tightness in his right hamstring.
"We knew going into the game that he was just a little bit tight," manager Don Mattingly said after the Dodgers beat the Rockies, 6-2. "We thought it was going to be something he was going to be good with. As he got out there it was something we didn't want to take a chance with. We're pretty precautionary with him. And with the day off coming up [Thursday] we'll see how he's feeling [Wednesday]. But we'll be careful with him."
Jerry Hairston replaced Crawford at the top of the order and in left field. Hairston was originally playing right field and hitting sixth, but shifted when Crawford was scratched. He went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored.
Andre Ethier was inserted into the lineup, hitting sixth and playing right field. Ethier went 1-for-3 with a double and one run scored.
Crawford is hitting .308 with four homers and six RBIs in 25 games. He went 1-for-3 in Monday's loss to the Rockies. The outfielder went 5-for-14 with three homers in the first four games of the Dodgers' current six-game homestand.
Dodgers recall Guerra, option Wall to Triple-A
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers recalled right-handed reliever Javy Guerra on Tuesday and optioned Josh Wall to Triple-A Albuquerque.
The move follows Monday night's disastrous 12-2 loss to the Rockies, when Wall was abused for seven runs on eight hits and 62 pitches in two innings. Wall followed Ted Lilly, who left the game after three innings with neck and back pain and was having an MRI Tuesday.
Guerra was the team closer when last season started, but he lost that job, suffered three injuries and required surgeries to his right knee and shoulder.
He did not make the Major League team out of Spring Training and was sent to Albuquerque for a starting role, not to turn him into a starter but to extend him into a multiple-inning long reliever. In four starts for the Isotopes, he was 0-2 with a 4.02 ERA and last pitched Friday.
Wall, who was recalled from Albuquerque April 15 after Shawn Tolleson was injured, made six appearances and had an ERA of 18.00.
Guerra is the 17th pitcher the Dodgers have had in uniform this month.
Billingsley optimistic he'll be ready for 2014
LOS ANGELES -- Chad Billingsley, his right arm in a sling six days after Tommy John elbow reconstruction, said Tuesday he's optimistic he'll be healthy and on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster in 2014.
"They say that's very, very doable," said Billingsley. "Cap [teammate Chris Capuano] did it in 11 months, some guys before that. You can't do it too quick and have a setback, but it's very doable."
Billingsley tried to avoid surgery altogether. He originally suffered a partially torn ligament last August, but opted for several platelet-rich plasma injections instead of surgery. The cutting-edge treatment got him throwing 93 mph by November, felt "awesome" through Spring Training and Billingsley believed he was healed.
He opened the regular season on the disabled list because of a bruised right index finger, but said his elbow was fine until after his second start, when it "didn't feel right." He cut short a bullpen session in Baltimore, flew back to Los Angeles for an exam and got the bad news from surgeon Neal ElAttrache.
"Awe, crud," was Billingsley's response to the doctor, or something like that.
But he said he has no regrets over not having surgery immediately.
"I would do it again," he said. "If I had surgery at the end of August, I'd still miss all this year. Or in the winter or spring, the first month, I'd still miss all year and still be ready at the beginning of 2014."
Billingsley said the cast comes off next week and will be replaced by a brace. While speaking to reporters, he was watching fellow pitchers going through pregame fielding practice, probably the most tedious chore for a pitcher other than the one Billingsley will be doing for the next year.
"I would like to be out there doing that," he said.
Dodgers ink Laffey to Minor League deal
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers, who had too many starting pitchers a couple of weeks ago, are in such a bind that they signed free agent left-hander Aaron Laffey to a Minor League deal Tuesday.
Laffey made the Mets on a Minor League contract out of Spring Training, but struggled to a 7.20 ERA in 10 innings of work. He was designated for assignment, claimed off waivers by Toronto and walked five in a 2 2/3-inning start for the Blue Jays before they designated him for assignment. Being designated for assignment twice allowed Laffey to elect free agency.
He's a seven-year Major League veteran with a 25-29 record and 4.45 ERA. He is expected to report to Triple-A Albuquerque.
The Dodgers currently have six pitchers on the disabled list -- Chad Billingsley, Chris Capuano, Scott Elbert, Stephen Fife, Zack Greinke and Shawn Tolleson. Ted Lilly is likely to join them pending results of a Tuesday MRI on his neck.

State trooper John Basler, 25, of Kingston, pleaded innocent in Plymouth District Court on Thursday to charges of drunk driving, driving to endanger, carrying a firearm while drunk and unlawful storage of a firearm. He is charged in connection with a Sept. 22 crash in West Plymouth that killed a woman and daughter from Carver.
State Police Trooper John Basler limped into Plymouth District Court Thursday to face charges for the September crash in West Plymouth that killed a mother and daughter from Carver.
Standing with the help of a metal cane, Basler waived a reading of the charges against him, agreeing not to drink alcohol or possess firearms while the case proceeds through the court system.
Judge Brian Gilligan released Basler without bail, but ordered him to submit to random screenings to ensure he is not drinking.
The judge turned down a request by the prosecutor to order Basler not to drive.
The 25-year-old Kingston resident faces charges of drunken driving, driving to endanger, possession of alcohol while under the influence of alcohol and improper storage of a firearm in connection with the Sept. 22 crash that killed Susan and Juliet Macchi.
The Macchis were returning home from a baseball game when they collided with Basler on Federal Furnace Road.
Basler, who was returning home from a housewarming, allegedly had a blood/alcohol level that was more than twice the legal limit.
Basler suffered a hip injury in the crash. He left the courthouse without commenting on the case. His attorney, pressed by reporters to address the victims' family, said "our prayers and thoughts are with them."
The case was continued to Nov. 26 for a pre-trial hearing.

OpenACC Version 2.0 Posted for Comment
The OpenACC standards group is pleased to announce the draft of the new OpenACC Version 2.0 specification at the SC12 conference. This version includes new capabilities and expanded functionality to accommodate the rapidly evolving landscape of HPC accelerators.
OpenACC Version 2.0 allows for superior performance in parallelizing code and an improved developer experience. The performance is derived from new controls over data movement, including better handling of unstructured data and improvements in support for non-contiguous memory.
"OpenACC is an open standard designed to be easy to use, and performance portable across multiple architectures," said Duncan Poole, President of OpenACC. "Our goal is to provide the developer ecosystem with a comprehensive and robust model for portable accelerator programming. We look forward to incorporating public feedback into this draft as well as features new to accelerators, such as dynamic parallelism, in the final version."
In addition, the OpenACC 2.0 developer experience is simplified with support for explicit function calls and separate compilation, allowing the creation and reuse of libraries of accelerated code. The draft specification also includes clarifications to the previous 1.0 standard. An OpenACC certification suite has been created in collaboration with OpenACC member University of Houston intended to ensure multiple OpenACC compilers behave similarly in order to create a more uniform user experience.
OpenACC is a programming standard for parallel computing using directives, designed to enable millions of scientists around the world to easily take advantage of the transformative power of computing systems equipped with heterogeneous CPU/Accelerator systems. OpenACC provides the easiest way for scientists, with or without extensive parallel programming expertise, to accelerate their research in a matter of hours using familiar programming models. For more information, please visit us at www.openacc.org.
Recent announcements at SC12 from OpenACC partners:
- CAPS enterprise support for OpenACC on CARMA platform with their compiler
- The Portland Group support for K20 and K20X, NVIDIA Kepler architecture, as well as AMD APUs and GPUs by the PGI Accelerator compiler Allinea and Totalview support for cluster debugging of OpenACC directives for scientists using the Cray Compilation Environment, used on the recently announced Titan Supercomputer
"Programming using OpenACC directives plays an important role in moving legacy applications to our new hybrid Tier0 architecture CURIE while minimizing custom code needed," said Stephane Requena, CTO, GENCI, one of the four hosting members of the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE). "We are excited to see continued investment in programming models for lower-power platforms, such as NVIDIA's Kepler architecture and ARM-based CARMA platform."
More information about the draft OpenACC 2.0 specification is available via the OpenACC website at http://www.openacc.org/downloads. Please visit http://www.openacc.org/SC2012 for a guide to the many talks and sessions during the SC12 conference, including an OpenACC Birds of a Feather discussion and hosted debate on Programming Models for Accelerators. Additionally, please visit our partner booths for demonstrations and examples of OpenACC applications.
About OpenACC:
The OpenACC Application Program Interface describes a collection of compiler directives to specify loops and regions of code in standard C and Fortran to be offloaded from a host CPU to an attached accelerator, providing portability across operating systems, host CPUs and accelerators. OpenACC allows programmers to provide simple hints (directives) to the compiler, identifying which areas of code to accelerate. By exposing parallelism to the compiler, directives allow the compiler to do the detailed work of mapping the computation onto the accelerator. OpenACC enables users to create a single code base that runs on heterogeneous many-core accelerators as well as multi-core systems, making scaling application performance easier and more portable than ever. It also offers an ideal way to preserve investment in legacy applications. For more information about OpenACC, visit the www.openACC.org web site.

Photography & Digital Arts and Post-Baccalaureate in Art Education
Moore prepared me for life after college with an education that pushed me to develop a style of my own. A style not just aesthetically as an editor or camera operator, but also as an educator. The Photography & Digital Arts department taught me to think conceptually and creatively in order to develop new material on multiple levels, while the Art Education program helped me hone in on my skills as an instructor and manager.
As a graduate of Moore, I'd advise students to take advantage of the facilities and one-on-one instruction that is incredibly rare to have in a typical college setting. Philadelphia as a campus is also a huge advantage because of it's growing art community.

CSFD Urges Residents to "Have Two Ways Out!" During Fire Prevention Week,...
October 7-13, 2012
October 5, 2012– If you woke up to a fire in your home, how much time do you think you would have to get to safety? According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one-third of Americans households who made and estimate they thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. Unfortunately, the time available is often less.
That's why the Colorado Springs Fire Department s teaming up with NFPA during Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13, 2012, to urge residents to "Have Two Ways Out!" This year's theme focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.
In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to 369,500 home structure fires. These fires caused 13,350 civilian injuries, 2,640 civilian deaths, and $6.9 billion in direct damage.
CSFD's Fire Marshal Bret Lacey says, "Fire is unpredictable and moves faster than most people realize. Having a tried and true escape plan with two ways is essential to ensuring your family's safety should fire break out in your home."
CSFD recommends the following tips for planning your family's escape:
- Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room.
- Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they've escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan.
- Write the emergency telephone number for the fire department on your escape plan.
- Have a grown-up sound the smoke alarm and practice your escape plan with everyone living in your home.
- Keep your escape plan on the refrigerator and remind grown-ups to have your family practice the plan twice a year or whenever anyone in your home celebrates a birthday.
CSFD is proud to be partnering with Firehouse Subs and the El Paso Teller E911 uring Fire Prevention Week to promote "Have Two Ways Out!" We will be holding three safety days during this week. We will have the new Fire and Life Safety Classroom from E-911 to teach children what to do when they hear a smoke alarm sounding and how to plan an escape route. We will also have plenty of fire prevention and preparedness information available along with our favorite mascot, Sparky. Through these educational, family-oriented activities, residents can learn more about the importance of fire escape planning and practice, as well as the power of prevention.
Dates: Thursday, October 11thfrom 4 – 8pm
Friday, October 12thfrom 4 – 8pm
Saturday, October 13thfrom 3 – 8pm
Location: Firehouse Subs, 7543 N. Academy Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO
To learn more about Fire Prevention Week and "Have Two Ways Out!" visit NFPA's Web site ww.firepreventionweek.org or www.springsgov.com/fire.

Even with a big family (3 kids and 5 grandkids), retired schoolteacher Richard John du Pont projects a dandy's fashion sense
MARK STOKES | Illustrator
Name: Richard John du Pont
Occupation: Retired elementary school teacher
Spotted at: Kroger's on the Strip
Colorful and vibrant, Richard was born and reared in upstate New York in a small town on the Mohawk River called Crescent. Retired since 2003, this tireless educator spent 30 years teaching 4th and 6th grades, and continues as a substitute teacher for the Dallas I.S.D (Sam Houston Elementary and Maple Lawn Elementary). He graduated with a bachelor's in elementary education from the Central University of Iowa and a has masters in education from North Texas State University at Denton.
A man of taste: This silver-haired taste maker owns an exquisite collection of antiques, tastefully chosen to accent his beautiful home. He also lends his skill and expertise as a salesman to two estate sales and as a sales rep for Metrotex at the four large annual shows at the Dallas Trade Center.
Daddy dearest: This proud patriarch of two sons, one daughter and five grandsons sees family as the root of his life. His close-knit clan lives in the area so he is able to spend a lot of time with his children and grandchildren.
His hobbies include volunteer work for DIFFA, Legacy Counseling Center and Fresh, as well as traveling, reading, working out at Gold's Gym Uptown, dancing and shopping. He collects vintage clothing and jewelry (more than 100 suits at least — he attends the Cathedral of Hope every Sunday in one of them with an antique brooch), and Converse and Vans shoes.
