MOUNT DIABLO — Fundraising for a $100,000 restoration of the historical beacon atop Mount Diablo is beginning now that a conservation group has a signed state deal permitting it to do the project.
Lit up once a year on Dec. 7 to honor Pearl Harbor victims, the 1928 beacon is suffering from age, exposure to harsh weather and lack of state park maintenance funds.
Conservationists with Save Mount Diablo are stepping in to fix the light on the 3,489-foot peak that overlooks large sections of the Bay Area and Central Valley.
Group leaders say they can begin rehabilitation fundraising because the state Department of Parks and Recreation has signed an agreement to permit them to lead a restoration to be done largely through volunteer work and donations.
Under the deal, state-approved experts will review the quality control and historical integrity of the restoration.
"This beacon is a powerful symbol of freedom and connection to our history," said Ron Brown, Save Mount Diablo's executive director. "It's important to preserve it."
The deal was approved by the state parks department last Friday, just hours before the annual beacon lighting.
Organizers had feared the light might fail for the Dec. 7 event, but volunteers coaxed the light into action as new state parks director Anthony Jackson watched with more than 300 other people.
Save Mount Diablo estimates it will cost about $100,000 for the restoration, possibly less if someone donates the use of a crane to load the beacon onto a truck for shipment to repair shops.
Save Mount Diablo is exploring the possibility of lowering the angle of the beam of light to make it more visible in communities around the mountain. The 1928 beacon was designed to shine high enough to help airplanes and ships navigate.
Brown said his group also wants to explore if a webcam could be installed adjacent to the beacon to livestream panoramic views from the summit.
Contact Denis Cuff at 925-943-8267. Follow him at Twitter.com/deniscuff.

Dr. Spock, meet Dr. Swanson.
She's a pediatrician, clinical instructor, TV reporter, mother, author, runner and she still has time to blog about Justin Bieber's DUI and post 8,000 Tweets.
But to hear Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson tell it, she's just another mama pushing 40.
"I'm a regular, busy, stressed-out mom, just like the rest of us," she said.
For this "digital physician," social media tools are as vital as a stethoscope in patient care.
Swanson, director of digital health at Seattle Children's Hospital, is known by thousands of online followers as SeattleMamaDoc, which ranked in TIME Magazine's Best Twitter Feeds of 2013.
Soon, she'll be on old-fashioned bookshelves with the March debut of her book, "Mama Doc Medicine," published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Swanson started her medical career at Everett Clinic in Mill Creek, where she still sees patients one day a week.
"What a practice was seven-and-a-half years ago versus what it is today is profoundly different," she said. "I was one of those people who would bang my keyboard when the computer froze. I'm much more of a technophile now."
Her blogs, Tweets and segments on King 5 TV cover it all: tummy aches, tanning, vaccinations, flu and fever.
"Bieber Fever" isn't the norm.
"The Justin Bieber episode was a teachable moment," she said. "This is a opportunity to have a wake-up call so parents can talk to their kids about alcohol.
"We put up an illustration on Facebook and overnight 17,000 eyes were on it. For me, I can go into the clinic and see 17 kids a day."
Her book is another way to connect with moms and dads. "Mama Doc Medicine" is a parenting manual on about 100 different topics, from car seats and sunblock to emotional support and work-life balance.
"I would never want to pretend that I'm Dr. Spock," she said. "He was quite a pioneer. I am indebted to his wisdom and transformation of really bringing parenting and pediatrics together."
Dr. Spock didn't have social media to reach the masses of anxious new parents wondering what to do with their bundles of joy.
"There is no easy way to raise a child. It's a very complicated thing, mixed with all sorts of messaging," Swanson said.
"We are inundated with information. For most families, it's not that they don't have enough, it's potentially that they have too much. They need help with the curation."
That's where she comes in.
"Six out of 10 adults have a smartphone. It doesn't matter where you live or how much money your have. Most of us have a computer in our back pocket. It's crazy," she said.
"We have this opportunity as physicians and experts to join people where they are with their devices."
This doesn't replace hands-on doctoring.
"If someone asks me about their child's recurrent sore throat or enlarged tonsils, I can send a link that I think provides expertise about how to get the care they need," she said. "Of course, I never provide personal health advice online."
Swanson was there, in the flesh, for Chad and Reni Ross of Mill Creek after their first child was born four years ago.
"You feel comfortable talking to her and asking her questions," Reni Ross said. "She educated us."
Before medical school, Swanson, a Minnesota native, taught bilingual science and math in California with "Teach for America."
That experience with youth led her to specialize in pediatrics.
She didn't set out to be a digital doc.
"I was on bedrest with my second pregnancy and I joined Facebook and I thought, 'Holy moley, this is incredible.' That was the beginning of my discovery that I could potentially improve the lives of more people than I could see in a clinical environment by using these tools."
She's not a digital mom.
Her sons, 5 and 7, have Legos and books, not tablets and gadgets. "I love the basics. The clean, simple toys," Swanson said. "We hardly watch any television in our home. They just don't need it."

Tips from Mama Doc
1. Forgive yourself in advance for mistakes you'll make as a parent. Parenting is a wondrous, arduous and high-stakes job.
2. Give children vaccines on time to protect them from having an illness that can be life-threatening.
3. Use a car seat the correct way. An infant/toddler needs to stay rear-facing until at least 2 years old.
4. Half of what you feed your child should be fresh fruits and vegetables.
5. Go outside every single day and move.
6. Your sleep as a parent is as important as your child's sleep. Consistency may be the "secret sauce" to parenting.
7. You don't need to buy a lot of things to raise a healthy, bright child. What they need is attentiveness, interaction and play.
8. No TV in the bedroom. It actually impairs their ability to fall asleep.

Beverly Hills is an institution. The glamour that Hollywood Boulevard lacks is more than compensated by the many Ferraris, huge mansions and swaying palm trees. This is the spot where the rich and famous live and shop, and where flashy Rolex watches and chauffeur driven limousines are the norm.
Contrary to what most people think, Beverly Hills is a city and not a neighbourhood. It is part of Los Angeles but has its own mayor and police force. The wide streets with countless palm trees exude unprecedented perfection and glamour. Even the fire hydrants on the street are painted in a shiny silver colour. The neighbourhood is primarily home to pop stars and movie stars. The zip code of every house begins with 90210, famous from the television series Beverly Hills 90210.

Google back in court for book deal
26 critics line up for legal counterblaste
Google is in court later today New York to face critics of its agreement with US publishers to digitise the world's books.
Judge Denny Chin will hear evidence from 26 critics of the deal. These include Amazon and Microsoft, along with several publishers. France and Germany will also give evidence, the Beeb reports.
The case is seen by some as granting Google an effective monopoly on the world's literature.
The search giant's massive book scanning scheme is also under investigation from Department of Justice and European regulators.
Google reached agreement with the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers in 2008. This created a way to pay copyright holders as well as allowing Google to exploit 'orphan works' - books with either no copyright holder, or a copyright holder who could not be found.
As part of last year's amendment Google agreed to create an independent fiduciary to keep all revenues from orphan works for ten years. After five years a quarter of this money can be used to trace rights holders and after 10 years the remaining money would go to literacy charities. ®

Justin Bieber Denies Fathering Child in New Paternity Claim
Baby? What baby?
It's Mariah Yeater Part 2, for Justin Bieber, who so doesn't need this aggravation right now. Amid all the driving drama, The Biebs has been accused of fathering a child with a fan back in 2010. But much like his "I was framed" defense in the spitting and driving dangerously cases, his team denies the charges.
Star (via Gossip Cop) reports that a European woman, 25, had a one-night stand with The Biebs and became pregnant with his offspring in February of 2010. That means he was 15 (!!!) at the time so she wasn't just robbing the cradle; she was committing statutory rape.
The unnamed accuser says she met the teen at TGI Fridays in Miami's South Beach after a concert. He invited her back to his hotel room and then he put a baby in her. She discovered she was el preggo when she returned home to Europe, giving birth in October of 2010.
So she was 25. From Europe. Had a little girl. That tells us a lot.
A source said that the woman "gave birth to a baby girl later that year, and Justin didn't know anything about it." The cradle robber decided to keep quiet since "she just wanted to protect her baby. She wanted to keep her and her family away from any spotlight." She also claimed she knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that Biebs was the father. DNA test, anyone?
The gossip rag also published texts between the two, with the Biebs asking her to keep the fling their "little secret."
A rep for Biebs said that the report is false.
This is the second time a woman has claimed Bieber impregnated her. In late 2011, Mariah Yeater, 20, also accused him of fathering her son, an accusation that was quickly shut down, but not before it spread through the press like wildfire.

I continue to trust that Hillsboro and the surrounding communities can see through Newton Medical Center's initiative for opening a clinic in Hillsboro.
Recent statements boast that "the number one thing to accomplish is to provide additional medical services in the community." Services are already provided in our community, and we appreciate the community's support.
We hope to provide care to many more patients from Marion county in the near future. The "additional" services that aren't already here will be provided at Newton Medical Center and will not benefit our community.
The irony of this is, as a physician in Hillsboro, I readily follow the practice of sending our patients to Newton to receive services that cannot be provided here. So if recent statements regarding the mission are truthful, their new clinic will provide absolutely nothing that isn't already occurring in Hillsboro. Except obviously, gaining revenue for Newton Medical Center and lessening that of Hillsboro Community and St. Luke Hospitals.
The Newton CEO attempts to provide us with reassurance stating that the new clinic will have only 11 lab tests and a basic x-ray. What isn't apparent to most here, is that those tests and x-rays comprise the majority of what is being done for outpatients at Hillsboro Community Hospital.
Hillsboro Community Hospital has worked hard to recruit physicians for the near future that have a stake in our area. A physician with a primary interest in another community is not what I feel our county needs.
Our local hospital and clinic also provides many services that we don't get paid for. Again, let's not lose sight of what already exists in our community and plan to support it.
Dr. Shauna Kern
Hillsboro Community Hospital

Christie: My weight loss is "nobody else's business"
After revealing to the press that he secretly underwent a gastric band surgery to lose weight, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said Tuesday his weight loss issues are "nobody else's business" - and that he doesn't want to be a "role model" on the issue.
"From my perspective and my family's perspective, the steps I've taken recently are for me and for [wife] Mary Pat and the kids," he said in a press conference Tuesday. "I would have never lied about it but, you know, it's not anybody else's business but mine."
Christie said he decided to undergo the surgery for his family and for his "long-term health" - not for career purposes.
- Gov. Chris Christie had secret weight loss surgery
- Potential 2016 hopefuls test the waters in key states
"People in public life have the same concerns that people in private life have," he said.
The governor said he started considering the surgery when he turned 50, and insisted the procedure did not interfere with his duties as governor. He said his insurance paid for it.
"I was asleep for a total of 40 minutes, and no, the lieutenant governor was not in charge during those 40 minutes," he said.
Christie decried what he called "shallow" press coverage of the issue, and said the issue of his weight was an "intensely personal" and that "I don't see myself, nor do I care to be, a role model in this regard for anyone."
He also dismissed the idea that it was a signal of his future political prospects.
"It has nothing to do with running for governor this year, with running for president at any time in my life," Christie said.
Coincidentally, Christie's wife Mary Pat Christie said in an interview with the New Jersey publication SJ Magazine, published Tuesday, that she could envision her husband as president.
"I can definitely see my husband as President, because I think he'd be a great president," she said. "I can't say I've had any kind of vision of our family in the White House. I don't think I've taken it to that next step."

At the end of ROTS, we see Vader standing on the bridge of a Star Destroyer looking at the framework of the first Death Star. It took the entire clone wars to build it that far. Twenty years later the Death Star is finished. Why did it take so long to build? It seems to me that it should have only taken a few more years. Why did the Rebel Alliance completely ignore the building of this Death Star for twenty years? How could the Empire keep it a complete secret for that long?
One thing in engineering is the first one is the hardest to build, the others get simpler each time since all the bugs are worked out (Geonosians? ).
Despayre, originally named Horuz, was a penal/slave world in the Horuz system and the place where the First Death Star was constructed and completed, after being relocated many times to avoid Rebel saboteurs and Intelligence.
Components from almost all major corporations of the galaxy were sent to this planet, and labor was found on the penal and slave colonies below....Tarkin concluded that they made for a terrible work force. They were not trained, they were physically challenged, and they were mentally unstable. Rather than hope for an improvement, Tarkin decided to cut his losses and ordered the immediate execution of the entire work crew.
Quote from: P-Siddy on January 27, 2012, 02:47 PMOne thing in engineering is the first one is the hardest to build, the others get simpler each time since all the bugs are worked out (Geonosians? ).Is this reference to the second Death Star? I thought I read somewhere that it had been under construction a long time before ANH as a back-up to the original, but the wookieepedia does say it was built after the destruction of the first one.

Letter CXCVI. 2683
To Aburgius.
Rumour, messenger of good news, is continually reporting how you dart across, like the stars, appearing now here, now there, in the barbarian regions; now supplying the troops with provisions, now appearing in gorgeous array before the emperor. I pray God that your doings may prosper as they deserve, and that you may achieve eminent success. I pray that, so long as I live and breathe this air, (for my life now is no more than drawing breath), our country may from time to time behold you.
Placed in 375.

Portland State University (PSU), whose student body contains a higher proportion of military veterans than any other Oregon university, is launching a Veteran's Resource Center (VRC), a new service for veteran students attending PSU.
The VRC will be housed in the Office of the Dean of Student Life on the fourth floor of Smith Memorial Student Union. It will be headed by a full-time Coordinator of Student Veteran's Services as well as student staff.
"The VRC will substantially elevate the level of services the University provides to veterans, and will help veterans transitioning from combat to college to succeed academically, to thrive socially, to graduate, and to meet their educational and career goals," said Michele Toppe, PSU's Dean of Student Life.
Approximately 1,000 veterans are enrolled at PSU. That figure has grown steadily since 2008, and is projected to grow further as overseas troop deployments decline.
"Student veterans enhance our campus life in significant ways," Toppe said. "The wealth of experience and skills they bring makes our campus a better, more diverse, aware, and civil place."
However, Toppe said veterans face a number of challenges different than those faced by other students. Many have had long absences from academic life, requiring remedial work; they often have the burden of Veterans Administration red tape and paperwork; many experience a sense of alienation from other classmates and a sense of withdrawal; and some have physical injuries – including brain injuries – and experience depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.
VRC staff will create and host new academic workshops to help veterans with long-range academic planning, and monitor veterans' academic performance to make sure they are staying on track and getting help when needed. The VRC also will help veterans with career services, including helping them choose majors and careers, decide on graduate schools, obtain jobs, and assist in marketing their military experience.
The VRC will build upon other resources already at Portland State, including Veterans Services, Viking Vets, and VetSuccess, a vocational program run by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The University has a long history of veteran involvement. It was founded in 1946 as the Vanport Extension Center to accommodate returning World War II veterans.
The new center is expected to open by the fall, in time for the 2013-14 academic year.

I beat 1 from that collection. Never finished 2. I got lost about 2/3rds of the way through the game. (I'm guessing it was 2/3rds because I had found Ultima which I figured would still be an endgame spell even back on the NES).
I'm feeling the need to play a JRPG again. I'll probably play Tales of Symphonia again because I need to beat that game 4 or 5 times to get the platinum trophy on it.

Reuters story on the New York Wine & Food Festival panel
Chefs reveal how they try to fight off growing waistlines
by Richard Leong (Reuters)
inSing.com - 18 October 2012 4:26 PM | Updated 21 October 2012 5:39 AM
(NEW YORK) Top chefs who spend long, late hours preparing meals for others, face greater temptation than most mortals to over-eat but they say small portions, healthy snacks and drinking plenty of water can help to keep the weight off.
Like many Americans, chefs struggle with the battle of the bulge. If he is not careful chef Marc Murphy, of the Landmarc restaurant in New York, admitted he can nibble on up to two plates of fried potatoes during a busy day at his restaurant.
To offset the additional calories during week he refrains from drinking alcohol.
"I try to do cleanses Monday to Friday," he said during a panel discussion moderated by author Allison Adato at the New York City Wine and Food Festival.
Adato's recent book, 'Smart Chefs Stay Slim: Lessons in Eating and Living from America's Best Chefs', was the basis for the event.
Murphy also uses fresh herbs to cut the amount of oil and butter in his dishes, and reduces the temptation to over-eat at friends' restaurants, where extra dishes can flow freely from the kitchen by chefs eager to impress, by letting it be known he wants nothing extra.
"I just want to eat what I order," the 43-year-old said.
It took a health scare for Art Smith, the owner of the restaurant Table 52 in Chicago, to change his eating habits. Just before his 50th birthday he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the illness that killed his father.
Since his diagnosis, the 52-year-old who occasionally works as the personal chef of President Barack Obama and television personality Oprah Winfrey, has shed up 54 kg by eating smaller meals, taking up running and boxing and eating healthy snacks.
"I keep almonds and apples around when I'm on the go," he said.
Sue Torres, the owner of Suenos in New York, recommends a hearty breakfast to keep trim, and likes steel-cut oatmeal with different fruit toppings each morning.
Torres, who is known for her Mexican cuisine, also uses chili and other flavourful ingredients to reduce the amount of fat in her cooking.
"You could have cream and butter, but it's about portions," the 39-year old chef explained.
Celebrity US Chef Katie Lee, 31, is also careful about what she eats.
"From Monday to Friday, I am very disciplined. I try to have 70 to 75 per cent of my plate filled with vegetables. On Saturday and Sunday, I have more fun," she said, adding that she also exercises like a mad person.
While chefs are careful about they eat, they sometimes splurge so they don't feel deprived. Although Murphy abstains from alcohol during the week, when he has a tipple he also makes sure he drinks plenty of water.
Although his doctor has told him, "The ice in your Scotch doesn't count."

A Manhattan Avenue Park Spot Of Death Update: "Fixed"
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
This is what I was greeted with bright and early this morning. Per a witness, the Department of Transportation showed up at midnight so as to do this. They made a lot of noise too. In any case, here's to not having to watch some unfortunate soul's car getting towed, folks yelling at traffic enforcement agents upon discovering they have been ticketed, etc.

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: Manhattan Avenue
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
A little value-added from my sojourn to the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch this morning. It should settle the question once and for all as to the whereabouts of Scooby Doo. He is under a car on Manhattan Avenue between Clay and Dupont Streets and appears to be hammered as fuck. Possibly via the contents of the now empty bottle of tequila in the adjacent tree pit.
Quicklink: And Now A Word From The New York Times
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Spring is here and with it— not unlike the swallows returning to Capistrano— the New York Times lavishes attention on my humble community. This being Greenpoint, of course. My colleague at Queens Crap found this interesting and saw fit to bring this tome to my attention as follows:
The Times discovers Polish people in Greenpoint.
To wit, I replied:
That pharmacy they have a photo of has a fierce selection of sex toys.
It's true. This pharmacy does sport such items. To prove my point I strolled over there bright and early on this Smigus-Dyngus Day so as to get photo documentation. I feel it is my responsibility as a citizen journalist with "street level" knowledge of such things. Without further ado, here is what awaits you at the Murawski Pharmacy which, it should be noted, is the only establishment which sells such wares. "Just For Fun", also a Polish-owned and operated, used to sell sex toys but it has closed. The owner, a lovely lady named Barbara, has retired and moved to Florida. The storefront has since become a CitiHabitats office. But I digress. Bring on the photos!
Here we are.
Welcome to the Wall of Sex. It is proving to be Wet Monday indeed. Hallelujah!
I rather like how stickers, including a price tag, have been employed so as to conceal the "naughty bits". While I am on the subject of stickers…
Even the penis pumps hereabouts are purporting to be gluten free nowadays. If that ain't a sign of gentrification I honestly do not know what is. And, yes, the New York Times made sure to conjure up the golem which is the "G word". Among other things:
As in other parts of our city, conversations in Little Poland often turn to gentrification. Faced with higher rents, many residents are leaving the neighborhood for other Polish enclaves in Ridgewood or Maspeth, both in Queens.
I already knew this. A lot of people know this. But I suppose if one's targeted "readership" are people who actually enjoy the Time's "The Hunt" column— and not just for the gallows humor it provides— this would be "news". The previous having been written, let's get back to the topic. This being things Polish in Greenpoint. You see, Mr. Lee was not the only one walking around Greenpoint yesterday, I was too! And at McCarren Park I saw something quite compelling. So much so I took photos of it!
This is what greeted me upon arrival at Father Jerzy Popieluszko Square. It would appear a mishap of some kind has come to pass. I would hazard to guess this mishap involved a motor vehicle. Folks are always driving into things here. Pedestrians, fences, buildings, trees, more pedestrians, if you can think of it, chances are an automobile has hit it. Not even Newtown Creek is safe, as we learned on July 9th, 2013 via Gothamist.
Which brings me back to what I beheld at Jerzy Popieluszko Square yesterday. I found the manner, "style" if you will, eerily reminiscent of the "treatment" the Manhattan Kayak Launch has received "post injury".
Save of course the "caution" tape. I am guessing the powers-that-be (the Parks Department? Open Space Alliance North Brooklyn?) saw fit to appoint Jerzy Popieluszko Square with the tape (which costs $9.95 plus tax for a 1,000 roll of the stuff) because it is part of McCarren Park and as such is part of the "flagship park" of Community Board 1. Prestige is at stake, my friends.
Which brings me to the above photo. I wanted to make sure everyone is aware the photos of the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch in this post were taken today, April 17th, 2017. Yes, gentle readers, we are closing in on four years of this fence being in this state of disrepair. This begs the question as to how long the fence at Father Jerzy Popieluszko Square will remain in its present state. If the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch is any indication, I'd say the prognosis is not good.
The state of repair (or disrepair) of facilities in any given community speaks volumes about how the city and its various agencies views/"values" said community. Let's apply this to Father Jerzy Popieluszko Square. Here you have a park dedicated to a fellow who is highly revered by the Polish community. As the New York Times has ascertained, Greenpoint has a rather substantial Polish community.
Let's do the math. The premises have been damaged and a "make do" solution in the manner of two barricades and approximately 7-8 yards of caution tape. I am not sure what the barriers cost, but at 1 cent a foot the tape used cost 24 cents. As for when this will be repaired, maybe someone in the "mainstream media" will ask the proper "authorities"? Perhaps even someone at the New York Times! You know, "watchdogs acting as guardian of the public interest" kind of stuff. I will leave you now with a few shots of the McCarren Park women's comfort station. These too were taken yesterday, Easter Sunday.
(Insert "Wet Monday" joke here.)
UPDATE, 4:12 pm: Apparently the fence at Jerzy Popieluszko Square has been in this state for few months. Amazing how McCarren can get a tennis bubble, but basic shit like a fence languishes. Of course fences do generate $55.00 per hour in revenue.
The 983 Manhattan Avenue Parking Spot Of Death: And Now Another Word from the DOT
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Wow, WTF
Since the CBS 2 segment aired there hasn't been much to relay other than the traffic enforcement agents seem to have stopped— or have seriously cut back— "policing" this ticket trap. Then this morning I received an email. It is so fascinating I am going to share it right here and now. Enjoy!
New York Shitty analysis:
- How is "pedestrian safety" relevant to the legality (or otherwise) of this, or any, parking space?
- Let's consider pedestrian safety on the block in question. If "traffic enforcement" took the time/effort to, say, hang out at the intersection of India Street and Manhattan Avenue and ticket each and every motorist and bicyclist who blew through through the traffic signals located there they would make a tidy sum. They would also actually be doing something which does facilitate safer streets for pedestrians. But it is much easier to go after the long-hanging fruit of people parking in an ambiguously marketed parking space.
- A response "by mid-July", you say? NICE.
You can't make this shit up, folks…
New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: If It Fits, It Sits
Filed under: 10013, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Manhattan, Wow
I spied this while strolling down Centre Street yesterday. It was too good to pass up and I have made a six inch by six inch print of it which is for sale for $4.95 a print here. Also, I did a pass by the Manhattan Detention Complex which is located across the street. I had a friend with me at the time and I wanted her to see the "Customer Service" entrance as I find it grimly entertaining.
Fun Fact: Google has reviews for the "MDC". These can be perused by clicking here. Here's a teaser:
Food was decent for a jail. Although the rooms were dirty and smelled Funny, not much to do, no one was severely injured at during the stay. The staff was decently helpful and the guest were surprisingly friendly.
I have to say this is eerily reminiscent of an AirBnb review. Manhattan Detention BnB. So there you. Closing on a totally unrelated note, prior to taking the day's walk I met with a reporter from CBS Channel 2. They produced a news item about the Manhattan Avenue Parking Spot of Death which not only aired last night but interviewed our City Councilman, Steve Levin, about the matter. You see, he himself has been tricked by this money mill. In any case, I want to applaud him for taking the time to speak up about this and state plainly the sentiment held by a number of folks hereabouts regarding this matter. That sentiment being this space, which has no reason to be made illegal parking in the first place, should simply be made legal. Well done!
P.S.: The Brooklyn House of Detention also has reviews on Google. One is accompanied with some mighty interesting photos. The image at left is one of them. I will let your read the accompanying copy on your own but I will state right here an now it is the sort of stuff folks like our Vice President would not find the least bit amusing. Instead, I will leave you with this review which is considerably more concise and less detailed:
It's like vegas- you only really want to be there 2 nights
Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Workin' For The Weekend
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Wow, WTF
Looks like "traffic enforcement" is at it again. On a Saturday, no less. What dedication! In any case this is an excellent opportunity to share a couple of things:
- Given this new parking by app thing it could be argued that the city would, could stand to make money by simply legalizing the space and generating revenue from it. However, I suspect they are rolling with the short-term strategy of hitting folks with parking tickets costing $115.00 a pop. And, as we have learned, the truly lucky folks accrue the additional costs of getting towed.
- A follow-up complaint to the original complaint (getting more Kafka-esque by the minute!) has been filed: DOT-331717-Z3B9
Oh, did I mention I am looking into installing a webcam so everyone can watch this banquet of bullshit unfold in real time 24/7/365? Well, I just did! Happy Saturday!!!
Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: The DOT
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Wow, WTF
This morning I popped out nice and early to get bagels. I noticed the Department of Transportation was afoot. Naturally my curiosity got the best of me so I checked my favorite illegal parking space for new signage. What I found should hardly be surprising…
Wanting to know what this "zone" business was about (I do not drive a car and have no intentions of doing so anytime soon), I did a spot of online research. Here's what Patch.com has to say about it. The article in question dates from December 19, 2016:
NYC transportation officials announced Monday that within the next few weeks, New Yorkers will be able to fill any Muni-Meter between 14th and 59th streets in Manhattan via the ParkNYC app, now available for download on all app stores.
And by summer 2017, "every metered parking space in every borough" will be payable by app, the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) announced.
The coolest part: By the time every meter is hooked up to the system, you'll no longer have to sprint back to your car when your meter's up. Instead, you'll get a notification from the ParkNYC app, which will prompt you to refill the meter with your phone.
The lamest part: In order to get started, you'll have to load your account with a minimum payment of $25…
So these "zones" have been put in place so one can pay for parking via an "app". How very 21st century! As is being required to make a minimum payment of $25.00. Clever!
In closing I will leave you, gentle readers, with a couple stills taken from a video I shot yesterday morning at 10:22 am.
Manhattan Avenue Parking Spot of Death Update: And Now A Word From The DOT
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Wow, WTF
(Department of Transportation worker parking in front of 983 Manhattan Avenue so as to procure some lunch, taken April 3rd, 2017.)
As I stated in a previous update, a 311 complaint has been filed regarding this problematic parking space. Specifically, that the lines on the street and signs are not in agreement as to the legality (or, in this case, illegality) of the space in question. Well, gentle readers, this has been brought to the attention of the DOT. Specifically, the person whose jurisdiction is the signage. Yes, you just read me correctly: the person in charge of signage was contacted, not the person in charge of the markings on the street. As you can imagine this fellow does not seem to "get" what the problem is. Somewhere Franz Kafka is smiling.
And now part two!
The problem here is straightforward enough. At least to someone who is not a bureaucrat. In the interest of fostering a better understanding of the issue at hand I offer these videos taken April 3rd, 2017. One clearly shows the discrepancy, the "mixed signals" if you will, between the placement of the sign and the markings on the street. Among other things. Enjoy!
Remember folks, your choices behind the wheel matter. Today's choice was fried chicken. Yum!
UPDATE, 10:22 am: They're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

As noted in Adobe's Leopard FAQ the current version of Lightroom 1.2 is not fully compatible with Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5. The good news is that we'll be releasing an update in mid-November that will address key compatibility issues. In the interim, the following list describes areas where photographers may encounter problems with Lightroom 1.2 on Leopard:
- The Print module may not load
- The Import dialog and other dialogs can "disappear" below Lightroom's main window. The dialog can be retrieved by switching to another application and then returning to Lightroom.
- Lightroom's web module may not provide a visual update after a setting is changed
- The left-side panels in the Develop module may not display properly. Resizing or closing/opening the panels will correct the issue.
- The interaction between Leopard's Time Machine and Lightroom's catalog files is unknown at this time. Running Time Machine backup or restore operations while Lightroom is in use is not recommended until more information can be obtained
Feel free to share your Leopard/Lightroom experiences in this post's comments section.

Strip WPA Capture File Down To EAPOL Packets Based On BSSID Instead Of ESSID
In the past we have written a couple articles on using tshark to strip WPA capture files down to a specific ESSID or SSID but in some cases it can be more useful to strip the capture down by BSSID or MAC address of the WAP. Isolating packets by BSSID or WAP MAC address is useful in a scenario where a wireless deployment has numerous WAP's and you have captured a specific SSID's traffic from more than one WAP. Below is information on how to strip down a capture file based on BSSID and information on capture size before stripping the file down.

Since its inception, T&C has played an important role in the innovation and progression of surfing. Larry Bertelmann, an early pioneer, pushed the limits of board design with creative and futuristic endeavors. This style of surfing was embraced by surfers around the world, and paved the way for surfboard design advancements crucial to today's level of surfing.
An opportunity to surf a Mark Richards twin-fin in the early seventies convinced Craig that board technology would define the future of surfing. Stoked with the performance, Craig worked with shaper Glenn Minami to build a version of the twin-fin that performed in Hawaii and around the world. The refined shaping concept served as the stage for Dane Kealoha's exceptional professional surfing career - highlighted by a #2 world ranking. Many believed the World Title only eluded Dane due to political infighting that plagued professional surfing's organisational regime at the time. Regardless of his ultimate world ranking, it is unquestionable that Dane Kealoha set the standard for power surfing! Dane was always a standout at Backdoor and big days at Ala Moana Bowls. Dane Kealoha is synonymous with Hawaiian surfing and helped to define the term - Power Surfing.
Around the same time, Glenn Pangs version of the twin-fin helped usher in a new era of performance surfing. Martin Potter's progressive aerial surfing and fresh approach to surfing on the twin-fin helped pave the way for the new blood at Town & Country that did much of their surfing above, over, or off the wave. The turns and approach to surfing the wave were fundamentally changing and so too was design. Team rider Marvin Foster returned from a trip to Australia with what was to become the new standard for performance surfing - the THRUSTER. On versions recreated by Town & Country shapers young team riders Matt Archibold and Christian Fletcher helped take surfing to new heights. The progressive crew was dubbed the Air Brigade. The excitement created by his new radical surfing attracted many shapers and team riders to Town & Country.
About this time a new crew of young powerful Hawaiian surfers were starting to make their mark on the international competitive surf scene. Sunny Garcia joined the Town & Country team at age 13 and under the coaching of Ben Aipa honed the fundamentals that ultimately lead him to the World Title. Johnny Boy Gomes built on the aggressive and powerful image flowing from Town & Country. Both Sunny and Johnny Boy were standout surfers in heavy Hawaiian surf continuing the legacy started by Dane.
As the reach and following of the brand grew, Town & Country continued to expand the size and reach of the team. To connect with consumers in California and Florida Town & Country signed Chris Ward, Bobby Martinez and Shea Lopez. During this same time Kahea Hart and Ross Williams carried the torch in Hawaii. All the while Town & Country continued to groom young talent throughout the islands.
The present generation of Town & Country Surfers all grew up emulating the 'new school' of surfing. The new team is in tune with the direction of surfing for the new millennium! Michael Lowe, Jason Shibata, Dustin Cuizon and Conan Hayes are all very different surfers and characters. However, each contributes something unique and important to the team.
Through the years Town & Country has travelled the world extending its reach from the shores of the Pacific to touch Japan, Europe, South America, North America, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. While all facets of the company look very different than they did in 1971, the motivation remains unchanged. T&C Surf Designs is driven by as pure stoke for surfing and the Aloha to share the experience and lifestyle.

The FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek.
However, Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional and outside sales employees. Section 13(a)(1) and Section 13(a)(17) also exempt certain computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $455 per week. Job titles do not determine exempt status. In order for an exemption to apply, an employee's specific job duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the Department's regulations.

Global Monitoring Report 2007: Confronting the Challenges of Gender Equality and Fragile States (2007)
Global report
Author/Publisher: The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank
Language: English
Download: PDF
Subtitled "Confronting the Challenges of Gender Equality and Fragile States", this year's report highlights two key thematic areas-gender equality and empowerment of women (the third MDG) and the special problems of fragile states, where extreme poverty is increasingly concentrated.
The report, which is jointly issued by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, argues that gender equality and the empowerment of women are central to the development agenda. This is because gender equality makes good economic sense and because it helps advance the other development goals-including education, nutrition, and reducing child mortality. Rapid progress has been made in some areas, such as achieving educational parity for girls in primary and secondary school in most countries. But in many other dimensions-including political representation and participation in nonagricultural employment-performance still falls short. Better monitoring and efforts at mainstreaming gender equality requires realistic goals, strong leadership, technical expertise, and financing.

McConnell slams new foe in race
Matt Bevin is getting a Mitch McConnell welcome in Kentucky: A slashing TV ad seizing on the political newcomer's problems with his Connecticut-based bell manufacturing business.
Bevin, a wealthy Louisville businessman, is slated to announce a primary challenge against McConnell on Wednesday, hoping to tap into tea party anger to pull off a major upset against the wily 28-year Senate veteran in 2014.
Story Continued Below
But McConnell's team is trying to prevent Bevin from even getting off the ground.
( PHOTOS: Mitch McConnell's career)
McConnell's campaign will unveil a six-figure ad buy Wednesday dubbing its opponent "Bailout Bevin," attacking his primary foe for obtaining $200,000 in Connecticut state grants to help his companies rebuild after a 2012 fire. Twisting the knife even further, McConnell's ad attacks Bevin for eight local tax liens his company was assessed with for failing to pay $116,000 in taxes in recent years. A local article in 2011 painted the company, Bevin Bros., as the No. 1 tax delinquent firm in East Hampton, Conn.
"Bevin's company failed to pay taxes, then got a taxpayer bailout," McConnell's campaign ad says. "Bailout Bevin: Not a Kentucky conservative."
It's highly unusual for an established incumbent to attack a little-known primary opponent across the airwaves on the day of his or her announcement. But the Senate's top Republican is taking no chances in fending off attacks from the right — just as Democratic outside groups are already pummeling McConnell across the airwaves in the Bluegrass State.
Both sides are preparing to spend big bucks early in what will likely be the country's most expensive Senate race.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Mitch McConnell?)
The early ads are aggressive even by the standards of McConnell, who has a history of bare-knuckle campaign tactics. With more than 15 months until Election Day, McConnell's early attack demonstrates how seriously he is taking his opponents — and the potential that Bevin could cause great harm to the GOP leader's campaign. Bevin is wealthy and plans to self-finance at least a portion of his campaign — a scary prospect for any incumbent — and he is already reserving ad time on Kentucky TV stations.
He's prepared to level attacks on McConnell's long tenure in Washington and deal-cutting, including over the 2008 Wall Street bailout. And after news broke on McConnell's TV ad, Bevin unveiled one of his own, attacking the leader for his long tenure in Washington.
Even if Bevin fails to upset McConnell, he can force the GOP leader to burn through his cash and further erode his poll numbers ahead of what could be a competitive general election fight against his likely Democratic opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes.
On Tuesday, Bevin launched a preemptive attack on McConnell as the mud-slinging was about to begin.
"Kentuckians deserve a conservative leader in the Senate instead of one who slings mud and misleads the public," Bevin said in a statement. "It's sad really that a 30-year senator can't run on his record, but has to lie about mine."
In his TV ad, Bevin takes a whack at McConnell for his "failed leadership."
"Mitch McConnell has had a long career in politics, but after 30 years in Washington, is his leadership really the best we can do?" the Bevin ad says.
But Bevin's candidacy could be hurt by news of his tax woes. He declined to be interviewed about the $200,000 state grants or the taxes his company had failed to pay East Hampton. But a Bevin adviser claimed most of the state money has been paid back and argued that the back-taxes were inherited by Bevin when he took over the bell company, saying he has since paid them off.
Having never served in elected office, Bevin is trying to sell his personal story — he's a former Army captain who later went on to succeed in the world of finance and relocated to Kentucky in 1999, after which he invested in and founded several companies and firms around the country. In 2008, Bevin turned his attention to Bevin Bros., his family-owned bell manufacturing company.

This summer, Elmhurst Public Library transitions to an upgraded catalog system in order to provide our patrons with even better service and greater access to materials.
EPL has long been a part of the SWAN consortium, shared with 80 other libraries. Because the consortium is so large, it's hard to make changes or upgrades to the catalog. Also, the catalog is slow and can be difficult to search because of the vast number of items included. By becoming a standalone library, we can realize upgrades sooner, make patron-friendly changes quickly, and keep more of our collection here for Elmhurst residents.
You will still have access to items from other libraries. Although we are leaving the consortium, we are joining a group of libraries that have formed a partnership for sharing resources. Unlike our current consortium, we will have control to change and upgrade our catalog, while you will have access to collections that are larger and more varied than our current consortium.
During the month of August, while we're transitioning to the new system, you will still be able to check out and request materials; however, staff will have to manually enter requests, so you must have your library card with you.
In order to place a hold, you can call us, IM us, send us an email or place your hold in person. Also, if you want to keep your reading history or wish lists, you must download them before Aug. 1, and then set up these features with your new account in the upgraded system. If you need help doing this, ask a staff member or check elmhurstpubliclibrary.org for detailed information.
We're confident that these changes will benefit EPL patrons, and look forward to the transition at the end of the summer.
Mary Beth Campe is director of Elmhurst Public Library

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, is a federal law that protects the privacy and confidentiality of personally identifiable information contained within student education records. Colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System comply with FERPA's confidentiality protections and adhere to procedures dealing with student education records and directory information recommended by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
In its discretion, a college or KCTCS as appropriate may provide Directory Information in accordance with the provisions of the Act [Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974] to include:
Students may withhold Directory Information by notifying designated officials at the college in writing within ten (10) calendar days from the first scheduled day of class of the fall term. All written requests for non-disclosure will be honored by the college for one (1) academic year. Requests to withhold Directory Information must be filed annually thereafter. A request for "non-disclosure" is commonly called a "privacy request".
This is to serve notice to all students of the KCTCS of the rights and restrictions regarding the maintenance, inspection, and release of student records contained in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). The colleges of KCTCS offer a wide variety of services to students. Each college requires the maintenance of records concerning students enrolled in that particular college. The following is a list of the types of records that may be maintained by the College and/or the System Office for students:
The colleges are responsible for the maintenance of records in all categories.
In general, the records maintained by the college are available only to the student, to college personnel with legitimate educational interests, to other institutions where the student is seeking financial aid, and to authorized representatives of the Comptroller General of the U.S., the Secretary the U. S. Department of Education, or an administrative head of an education agency, in connection with an audit or evaluation of federally supported programs, and as provided by Section 164.283 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes. However, information may be released by the institution to appropriate persons in connection with an emergency if the knowledge of such information is necessary to protect the health or safety of a student or other persons. Records may be disclosed without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
Records may also be furnished in compliance with a judicial order or pursuant to a subpoena or with the consent of the student.
Students may inspect and review all records pertaining to them within forty-five (45) days of making requests for the same, except for 1) records created or maintained by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized professional or paraprofessional acting or assisting in a professional capacity in connection with the treatment of the student (except that the student may have these records reviewed by a physician or appropriate professional designated by the student), 2) financial records of the parents, 3) confidential letters and recommendations put in the files prior to January 1, 1975, and 4) confidential recommendations relating to admission, application for employment, or honors, if the student waived his or her right to review such records. Where a particular record cannot be reviewed by a student without revealing confidential information relating to other students, the records custodian will inform the student, upon request, of the contents of the record pertaining to that student.
A student who believes that any record maintained by the college, the college district, or the KCTCS pertaining directly to that student is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise violates the right of privacy of the student as provided by Title IV of Pub.L.90-247, as amended, and Pub.L.93-380 as amended by Senate Joint Resolution 40 (1974), may request a hearing before a panel of three persons appointed by the President of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. The panel may direct that appropriate action be taken to correct, explain, or expunge the record(s) challenged.
Requests for hearings should be sent to the Records Custodian, Kentucky Community and Technical College System and will be addressed in a timely manner.

How To Change The IP Address On A Verifone Vx570 Credit Card Machine
The other day Martin and I were changing some things around on the computer shop's network and we needed to modify the IP address of the credit card machine so it would operate properly on our new setup. While changing the Internet Protocol address isn't very hard the issue we ran into was figuring out how to type a period after each octet of the IP. After some fooling around we figured it out and we have explained all of the steps below to modify the IP address of a Vx570 CC machine.

The Smart Grid promises great benefits to consumers and the environment, including lowered energy costs, increased usage of environmentally friendly power sources, and enhanced security against attack and outage. At the same time, however, the Smart Grid presents new privacy threats through its enhanced collection and transmission of detailed consumption data – data that can reveal intimate details about activities within the home and that can easily be transmitted from one party to another.
Both the Commission and parties to this proceeding have agreed that a full set of "Fair Information Practice" principles, as previously outlined by CDT and EFF, is the best framework to adopt in order to protect consumers. Adopting rules based on the full set of FIPs is particularly important now, in light of a growing national consensus that consumer privacy is not adequately protected by mere "notice and choice."
In these comments, we articulate a clear, concise set of policies and procedures that implement or "operationalize" the full set of FIPs for the Smart Grid. We respectfully encourage the Commission to require these policies and procedures of all regulable Smart Grid entities. CDT and EFF are interested in working with all parties on these proposed rules, and we invite other parties to offer suggestions for improvement or to express support for our framework.
